...vehicular movement and traffic jam. There are different types of vehicular namely, car, bus, jeep, truck, minibus, microbus, auto-rickshaw, tempo, mini-truck, motorcycles and innumerable numbers of rickshaws. There are many reasons behind traffic jam in Bangladesh. Among them some major factors are as follows: • Undisciplined traffic signal in the road. • Indiscipline among the road user. • Might is right, everybody are free to park their vehicle on Road. • No knowledge of traffic rules which encourage violating the rules. • Enforcement of rules by dishonest persons who are busy in collection of illegal money from traffic rules violators. • Heavy numbers of vehicle on roads. Time is the most valuable things in the twenty first centaury no doubt. And traffic jam is killing the most productive time of the people of Dhaka city. Time is going on and on and we are lagging behind. The world is becoming speedy where as we are becoming slower. To reduce traffic jam we can take steps such as: • Have a good public transport system so people would use it • Ban rickshaw from the main roads of Dhaka • Good traffic system • Good lane system • Traffic police should do their duty properly • Use zebra cross and...

...Every day I ride to whitefield, and yes its very very tiring. But what choice do I have. Going by bus is not an option- it takes double the time and is extremely boring. So riding is the best option. But it still takes an hour. But after going riding for about 2 weeks I started finding ways to make my journey shorter. I go through gullies, riding on the footpath on some occasions and occasionally during extreme jams. I also squeeze between cars and change lanes to make maximum use of the little pockets of free road. Contrary to being indisciplined, I think it makes sense that some of us do this. It reduces the load on the already clogged road. When a few people do this, it reduces the jams and makes maximum use of the resources. Occasionally the odd amateur creates a bigger jam. But thats just a learning experience. Soon he finds ways to get home faster without delaying himself or others. I know this is not the ideal thing to do. But I am not riding on ideal roads. I guess this applies to India as well. The resources are never adequate. So people start finding shortcuts to work around that and the system. Making most use of our precious resources is what has kept us growing. India cannot be compared to the west were resources are in abundance. Here people need to be more innovative, creative and have to really think out of the box. And this happens at the lowest levels- from rural India to small traders and businesses. Now back to whitefield, if everybody maintained...

Through Frost’s use of theme, setting, mood and literary devices he sets the stage for the age old dilemma of making decisions in a crisis.

...has intended their work to mean. You have to look close and pay attention to be able to visualize the symbolism in each of these literary pieces. In Robert Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken”, and Jean Rhys’ short story “I Used to Live Here Once”, the consistent theme between the two would be; no matter who you are, you are the only one who chooses the road you take for your life’s journey. In other words, you choose your own destiny. And although they took different ways to say it, both Rhys and Frost use imagery, tone, and symbolism frequently to enhance the telling of their literary works. There are many people who travel a distance in life to find the path they should take or to remember the path they once took. In the poem “The Road Not Taken”, and the short story "I Used to Live Here Once", there are many similarities and differences. The authors’ use of describing a path helps them personify life’s journeys and self-reflection. Robert Frost uses imagery to describe two different journeys in life that could have been taken. “Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth.” (Clugston, 2010) As Frost writes in this first paragraph, he expresses the two journeys as a road diverged in a yellow...

...has bought some land right in the middle of Wimberley. I’m in the camp of being up in arms over it. I’m usually a proponent of change, but in this case, I’m not. Wimberley had an Ace Hardware that was right in the middle of town. It caught on fire and burnt down about 6 months ago. They are rebuilding but the building now is a lot bigger than the previous one. That being said, I don’t feel there needs to be another big building right behind it, right in the middle of town. It will completely change the landscape of the town. People come to Wimberley for the tourist experience. Not for the big town experience. They can stay home for that. There are two roads on either side of the land where they want to build. They are two lane roads. The town put in really nice sidewalks a few years ago. Where are they going to expand the roads to accommodate the amount of traffic that will be coming? They have Market Days on the first Saturday of the month. That day is a good indication of the amount of traffic we will get on a daily basis. The camp that is happy about HEB coming thinks that it will be competition for Brookshire Bros. and then BB will have to lower their prices. I’ve even heard some people say that hopefully it will put Brookshire Brothers out of business. These people can’t see the big picture. Let me ask a question. Who is HEB’s biggest competitor? Walmart. What does Walmart like to do? Come into small towns and take over big empty buildings. Then what happens? They start...

...Is A Good Man That Hard To Find? I feel that O'Connor's story fits well with her statement about the South being "Christ-haunted." In fact, I feel that the Misfit, whom at first appeared to me to be a ruthless, sadistic murderer, actually ended up being even more of a 'good person' than any of the members of Bailey's family. I will analyze certain statements made in the story to make my point feasible. “The trees were full of silver-white sunlight and the meanest of them sparkled.” First off, it is pretty obvious to me that the "silver-white sunlight" is supposed to be imagery the reader associates with Heaven. Beyond that, I feel there are two possible meanings to it as a whole, depending on how you interpret the meaning of the word "meanest": either they are being portrayed as cruel, or they are being portrayed as average. In the first case, the trees could almost be approximated with the Misfit in the role of Jesus. In the second case, the trees could be representative of Bailey's family. “They passed a large cotton field with five or six graves fenced in the middle of it, like a small island.” It just so happens that the Bailey family has six members: Bailey, his wife, his mother, and his three children. I feel this is an allusion to the fact that they're going to die later on. The bit about the island may also be significant. In the end, they seemed to be stranded, trapped, and surrounded on all sides by the Misfit and his men, just like an island is surrounded by water...

...in your view how these measures affect business logistics management and performance in the country. Introduction Transport policy deals with the development of a set of constructs and propositions that are established to achieve particular objectives relating to social, economic and environmental development, and the functioning and performance of the transport system. Policy has to be dynamic and evolutionary. The Relevance of Transport policies arise because of the extreme importance of transport in virtually every aspect of economic, social and political activities of nation states. The Logistics Performance Index ranked Zimbabwe at position 103 out of 155 economies, an indication on how difficult it is to move goods by roads in the country. Transport Sector Environment in Zimbabwe The transport sector environment is made up of public and private institutions and organisations. These are supported by legislation, which is implemented and policed by various institutions and individual operators of motor and non-motor transport. Legislation provides the methodology and procedure to handling and managing transport challenges and opportunities. The Institutions and organisations indicate and chart the substantive agenda for resolution in terms of transport subject areas of concern to the society Legislation Legislation involves the exerting of statutory control over transport in the broader...

... As you can see, that majority of these addresses are located in areas that have soils with high Radon content. Based upon the distribution of roads throughout the region, it seems that the addresses and cluster of roads coincide with each other to suggest that these are highly populated areas. This means more pollution from cars and therefore the soils absorb the toxins from the automobile emissions in the areas with most roadways. It even seems as though those areas where Radon levels in soils are high are the same areas that have roadways that are traveled more frequently. This map is the results of the Try This Assignment. It shows the type of rock throughout the region, and also shows roadways as well as the merged geocoded addresses from both address files in this lesson four. From this map it is difficult to distinguish between the first set of address data and the addition al six addresses of the second data set of addresses. This better shows the delineation between the two sets of address data that were merged together. Those addresses, six in total, that have a green circle around the blue target are the New Addresses. It appears that the six new addresses share the same general characteristics as the other addresses that are geocoded. They all are located in areas with a high volume of significantly traveled roads ways and those areas contain high Radon levels in the soil which are generally on carbonated rock, which could be a contributing factor into the...

...Fair as Caught The phrase, “that’s not fair,” has been used by every person that I encounter in life. The response might have been to a parent that wanted the toys picked up that a sibling left out. It might have been the teacher sending the boys to the back of the lunch line every day because he was teaching the boys to be gentlemen. Whatever the case may be there is no way around that phrase. To describe something as fair someone may use a whole list of alternate definitions, and most are words that mean the same thing. Dictionary.com has thirty-one different definitions for the word fair or other versions. The definitions offered by dictionary.com I deem best resembles my definition of the word fair are, “free from bias, dishonesty, or injustice,” and “legitimately sought, pursued, done, given.” Simply put something that is fair deserved without question. Fairness then can be defined as a state of being fair. The suffix on the end denotes the action, but the meanings carry over between the words. Everywhere there is life people are faced with tough situations that cause action to be done. The key is when those decisions are made and penalties are required, that fairness is not just the punishment. Fairness to oneself is much greater than the penalty because when someone realizes their wrongs they are being fair to themselves. Everything that happens in my life I have the opportunity to flash back and say to myself, “that wasn’t fair,” or “Wow I got really lucky for that...

...THE AUSTRALIAN ROAD RULES – WHAT ARE THEY AND WHERE ARE THEY GOING? Ian W Shepherd and Fiona A Calvert National Road Transport Commission PO Box 13105 Law Courts MELBOURNE VIC 8010 “Motoring in Australia is daily taking on more of a national aspect by shedding its earlier parochial garb. Yet there are few fields in which legislative and regulatory inconsistency have freer play than in the Australian motoring world. At the moment a motorist passing from one State into another has to unlearn much of what he has learned in his own State and to learn a lot that is strange to him. This produces irritation – or worse - in the motor owner and motor driver, and tends to unnecessary costs of traffic administration (which the motorist usually has to pay for). It also adds to traffic dangers through ignorance or unfamiliarity with local conditions or practices on the part of drivers. Therefore, anything that can be done to lay down a national basis for motor traffic control must be of much practical value. Commonsense suggests that there should be uniformity instead of variety, and that the growing volume of interstate traffic requires a national instead of a local viewpoint in things common to traffic in all of the States. Were all motor vehicles kept within their own State boundaries, little disadvantage would arise from the present welter of confusing motor legislation, but when a system becomes national, a system (or lack of system) of arbitrarily...

...Interpretation on Robert Frost’s The Road Not Taken by Endah Wahyuni Robert Frost’s The Road Not Taken seems to represent indecision. It tells us about a travelers who is standing in front of two different roads that basically look the same. He doesn’t know where each of the roads leads to, but he should make a choice whether he would take the first road or the other in order to move forward. Of course the roads here are just a symbol. It represents something much concrete in our reality: choices. In our life we are often meet with so much choices that could lead us to our future. The first stanza explains about a traveler in a yellow wood, stood in front of two diverged roads and he can only choose one road to be traveled. So he takes an intense look to the first road to know where it goes, but he can’t get a good look because the road is covered by undergrowth. What does it means? I think the yellow wood is a symbol. Since the road in the wood is yellow, we can picture this as autumn, when leaves change color. Thus, autumn could represent an old phase of someone’s life. If you’re in your late year which means an old person and you have two choices in front of you, it is rather difficult to choose between one of them. Much further, we will never know where are those choices would take us. It is indeed take a long time to make a decision. The traveler then take a look at the other road as well, described in the second stanza. He feels that this road look a little better than...
