...Time to Stop Hooking Up Ethos: As a college student, I would be interested in what a one-night stand or hook up would mean for the other person. As Donna Freitas asks college students at different universities how they felt about their experiences. She took a survey of 1,230 students she found that 41 percent of the students felt unsatisfied or unfulfilled, 23 percent had mixed feelings and 36 said it was "fine." Pathos: The percentage of students that felt unsatisfied was shocking to me. Personally, I would want some type of emotional connection to someone if I was to be intimate. I understand why someone would go out on Halloween and dress provocatively, the need for attention affect us all but to give yourself to someone with no idea who they feel is out of my comfort zone. Some people might not even remember the person's name after and that's one of those awkward situations I never want to be in....

...is not appropriate to decrease the yellow light time. Due to the fact that modern cars have the ability to stop at an acceleration of 10m/s2 [backwards] without losing control, the time the yellow light should be held for would decrease. This is evident because the distance it takes for the car to brake would be 85m [F], hence, it would be 61m less than the distance it takes a car if it stops at -3.0m/s2. Subsequently, the amber light would have to stay on for 4.5s if a car accelerated at 10m/s2 [backwards]. Despite the fact that recent models of cars have the ability to stop at -10.0m/s2, it is not safe for a car to stop at such a high acceleration. Particularly, the driver would have to apply the brakes urgently, and they would have...

You shouldn’t have to fight for a spot. Never, ever insist yourself to someone who continuously overlooks your worth.

We aren’t supposed to be able to instantly solve problems. That’s not how we’re made. In fact, we’re made to get upset, sad, hurt, stumble and fall. Because that’s the whole purpose of living – to face problems, learn, adapt, and solve them over the course of time. This is what ultimately molds us into the person we become. #3.

...Effect of a Paper Plane’s different masses on its time on flight The following experiment (underneath) is to do with a paper plane and its mass and time of flight. Here is a chance to experiment with different masses of a paper plane to observe how it affects it’s time of flight. Research Question: How does the mass (g) of a paper plane affect the time (seconds) of its flight? Hypothesis: It is expected that, the more mass on the paper plane’s wings, the time of flight will decrease. This is because more mass; the faster gravity will pull it down. *Independent variable: Number of paperclips (amount of mass in grams) Dependent variable: The time of flight –measured in seconds. X Controlled variables: Throw it with the same force in each throw, and same angle of the throw. Materials: Stop watch 3 pieces of A4 paper to make paper planes 1 balance 12 paperclips Method: Make 3 ordinary paper planes from A4 sheet of paper Find someone who is willing to throw the paper plane for all the trials in the experiment. Take the paper plane and weigh it using the balance (weighing scale), to note down its mass. Find an open space for the plane to fly freely and take your planes there. Throw 1 paper plane from shoulder level and start the stop watch at the same time of the throw. Stop the stop watch the moment when the plane touches the ground. Record your data and repeat steps 4-6 four more times. For the second trial, add 1 paperclip to each wing...

...especially bus stops. A small town needs all the support it can receive. A big boost of that support comes from bus stops. They allow for savings economically and delete any inconvenience of the citizens not having transportation to work. In order for any small community to be successful; there must be jobs and people willing to work. This is just a harsh reality of life. In Ottumwa, Iowa, there are plenty of people with work and plenty of people willing to work. There is only one problem that is restricting these motivated people from work. That is that there is very little public transportation. Some people need this in order to get from one place to another, especially if it is to their work. It is understood that we are living in an age that most people have vehicles; the key word there is "most." Not everyone has a vehicle that they are blessed with. In a mostly middle class and poor community that is notably true. From personal experience, living in Ottumwa for twelve years, I have seen that this is accurate. How does a community expect to strive in having a strong core if they cannot provide the simple use of public transportation? The amount of benefits that comes with building more bus stops in this town is extraordinary; to the point where it would not make sense to get it done. The benefits range from, economic savings, not only to the community but also the citizens using bus stops, to making the environment safer by decreasing co2 emissions. There is one bus stop in the...

...“Stop-loss is a policy that permit the military, during times of war, to “halt voluntary separations and retirements” and redeploy soldiers for additional tours of active duty once their initial terms of enlistment are through” (army wife, 2008 para 1). When using Ethos or her creditability she places herself in the blog she gives very fine examples of what she has been through. This gives us some feeling on someone who goes through this very situation. She explains how she was in the same situation and also what she knows about the stop-loss policy. Pathos her emotions or feelings on this subject are also very well noticed especially when using words like whole-heartedly and where she states she does not feel sorry for the others that are being stop-loosed because this will get her husband home sooner. Logos it really draws you into her feelings. It really makes you put yourself in her shoes and actually feel what she going though personally and, understand why she feels this stop-loss policy is very much fair. When using Ethos, Pathos, and Logos she used all three well enough to persuasive the reader. The army wife husband was stop-lossed the day her husband took command of his unit it was agreed that he would not leave until after the deployment. “The deployment has been pushed back 3 times now and so he remains with his unit” (army wife, 2008 para 14). This is where he remains until the people in charge over him saids otherwise. “However, as most military families will...

...1.0 INTRODUCTION School bus has become an important facility in supporting parents at the grassroots in picking and dropping their children off at school. However, the challenges faced by Local Authorities (LA) in terms of demands and funding cannot be over emphasised. One of such LA faced with this dilemma is Middleton Local Education Authority (LEA) which has been chosen for the purpose of this study. In order to address this problem, a statement of the problem is defined with reference to the presenting issues. Secondly, the aims and objectives of this study is stated in an attempt to resolve the presenting issues. Thirdly, key definition of terms is addressed with reference to the school bus problem. Fourthly, a critical review of the literature whilst putting into perspective the methodologies adopted in research. Furthermore, findings from different approaches using computer programs to address the school bus problem are highlighted. In addition, a critical analysis of the school bus problem is attempted whilst putting into perspective transportation management systems, public policy and compliance, appreciation of public transport design and sustainable transport systems. An understanding and knowledge of UK based transport systems is demonstrated with an application to the case study problem. Lastly, limitations are acknowledged, recommendations and conclusions are drawn. Within this, future challenges relating to the school bus problem with reference to transportation...
