...walking to school is a good way to help the environment. It benefits our community in multiple ways. Although it is easier to drive to school, it is easier to save the environment by walking to school . By walking to school, we help our community in many ways. We would save a lot of money and time. If the whole community were to take their children to school everyday; it would cost $27,000. Since gas prices are near $3 a gallon, and rising, It isn’t a good choice to drive your children to school, unless you have to. Taking your children to school also takes up your time that doesn’t need to be wasted. On average, parents take about an hour a day taking their children to school. In one school year, you would we wasting 180 hours! An hour a day may not seem like much, but adding it all up, it is a lot more than you would’ve thought. By letting your children walk to school, you benefit in a couple of ways. If you don’t want your child to walk to school alone, there are different ways you can make sure they get to school without getting in your car. Now you can trust older students to make sure your son or daughter gets to school safely and unharmed. This saves tons of gas, money, and time. And it an innocuous experience for you child; it could actually benefit them! If you trust your son or daughter to get to school alone, but you don’t want them to walk to school because it takes too long, there are still alternative ways for them to get to school. You can easily purchase rollerblades...

...accurate way to produce high quality Animations. Getting up and actually physically acting out and recording a few scenes or taking pictures of yourself blocking out poses is very beneficial when animating. Being able to convey what you see in a video or in a photograph into a pose or a full-fledged animation is a great skill to have when animating. “Free handing” animations or animating without reference is not just tricky and hard to do, but is a poor way to animate. Not using reference when animating can lead to many problems and difficulties when making animations. Personally I extensively use reference when animating. The majority of the time I will actually get up and physically record myself walking around or doing certain poses in front of a camera. . Doing this is not just good reference, but allows you as the animator to kind of walk in the shoes of the character and get a certain feel for what the animation should look and feel like. Most of the time animations are done at a frame rate of 24 FPS (Frames Per Second). Lets say you are animating a simple walk cycle – having a character walk a distance – and say you want the walk cycle to be 3 seconds long, recording yourself doing the walk cycle will tell you the timing of the animation and what poses should be at what frames(the pose at second 1 of the recording will be between frames 0-23, second 2 between frames 24-47, and second 3 between frames 48-62 for example). Being able to convey and recreate what you see in...

The first place I would suggest moving to Milwaukee for would be South Shore. South Shore is a long walk amongst the sparkling lake.

...Kelsey Moore Nov 11, 2013 Eng 101 Looking into Where the Sidewalk Ends Have you ever asked questions, or thought about what is behind the scenes. Why does it seems like only children use their imagination anymore? I think the poem, Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein is saying that exact thing. This poem is talking about a place that is peaceful, with no problems. But not just anyone can go to this place, and only the people with the eye to see it realize it is there. The first two line is the poem stats, “ There is a place where the sidewalk ends, and before the street begins,” That right there makes me think automatically this might be about something magical, or something where you have to think outside of the obvious and use your imagination. Which it seems like it gets more and more difficult for people to do these days. To me everything is a yes or a no. Or a straight forward answer this poem is already in the first two lines making me think that maybe there is more out there then what we see to a natural eye, you may just have to look outside of the big picture and see the small pictures. Line thee and four make me think a little bit, the state, “and there the grass grows soft and white, and there the sun burns crimson bright.” This changes up my thought because the grass growing soft and white makes me think it is almost like snow. The grass at this place is not the normal weird color green and itchy like we normally have in our...

...What if you had to take half of the day to walk and get water? Or if there were people trying to kick your out of you hometown? Well, in A Long Walk to Water, two people with different stories weren’t asking, but were living those questions just asked. First, you will read about the obstacle that a boy named Salva faced and overcame. Then, you will read about the obstacle Nya faced. Finally, you will read about the obstacles that Salva had to face in his project. Nya and Salva overcame many obstacles in A Long Walk to Water. One obstacle that Salva overcame was the loss of Marial. A Long Walk to Water is a novel written by Linda Sue Park. It is about an eleven year old boy from a Dinka tribe in South Sudan and another part is about an eleven year old girl from the Nuer tribe in Sudan. According to the novel, “A cold fist seemed to grip Salva’s heart.” (Park page 38). Salva made a friend named Marial. One night Marial disappeared and Salva was downcast. The novel also states, “He clung to Uncle like a baby or little boy[...] Marial was gone-vanished into the night” (Park page 40). Salva was so upset that he shut...

...there’s some kind of exercise out there for everybody and everybody. He takes exercise so seriously that he gives each of his patients a prescription for it. “I prescribe specific ways to exercise— running, lifting, tennis, and more— based on what my patients like to do,” he says. “I make recommendations on frequency and duration of exercise based on the patient’s current fitness level. I then discuss intensity using target heart rate or how much exertion you feel. It can get fairly scientific in a high-level someone just starting out.” Hayes tells his patients that exercise is essential to good health and that making time for exercise has to be among the things you consider non-negotiable. You have to buy groceries. You have to pay bills. You also have to exercise—even if you have to trick yourself into doing it. Sneaking exercise into the day is something anyone can do, Hayes says. “Take the stairs, park farther away than you need to, walk to lunch. Try 10 minutes of core exercise and pushups to start the day or a 15-minute walk over your lunch break. It adds up.” If you have kids, get them into the game, too. “Encourage kids to play outside, like we did growing up,” Hayes says. “Limit their screen time to less than two hours a day, and set a good example by being active yourself.” Hayes recommends you start somewhere. A little exercise is, after all, better than none. But he says the current recommendation from the medical...

This is going to follow up by a walk on Washington called“, March For Our Lives” on March 24 (Schuster 2.) With all the attention that this movement is causing, it has the nation divided once again. People are wondering if guns are the issue or if mental health and bullying is the issue. On February 14, 2018, a shooting in Parkland Florida created a movement (Schuster 1.) A man named Nikolas Cruz would kill 17 high school students, and wounded 16 others (Kirby 1) From this movement the issue of school shootings arrived.

When a whit person can walk down a street in Compton strike that any hood/ghetto in America and not be worried about getting beat up, raped or killed then America is on its way to ending racism. When any other nationality/colored person can walk down a street in a neighborhood where they are not prominent and not get messed with then America is on its way to ending racism. Racism is a global issued America doesn’t solely own the rights to it, people hate people that don’t look like they look or act like they act or talk like they talk. Until everybody is of one color or should I say mixed up enough that a dna test can’t distinguish what’s what the world will have racism. You really can’t find to many people today that are full blooded anything in America. You can place one man in front of a hundred women and tell him he can have anyone he wants to sleep with until he has had them all and believe me he will have them all white, black, yellow, green, blue, orange, cyan and brown and vs verse for a woman as long as all of them are sexually attractive to her she will have them all.

...You are in a damp cell, with small pebbles and paint chips strewn about the floor. The walls are painted a dark red, with olive green visible where the paint flaked off. The ceiling is white, with cobwebs hanging between the edges of the walls. The air is musty, and riddled with the smell of rotting wood. You stand near the door and examine the iron bars. You wiggle each of the bars, which are as thick as two of your fingers and as far apart as the space between your two eyes. Frustrated that none of them budge, you slump on the small bed in the corner. You know you can’t stay here long before your mind begins to break down, but there is no obvious escape. You feel hopeless, and lonely. The footsteps of the guards echo through the halls. You...

It is 6:00 AM on Monday my alarm rings, I turn it off and try going back to sleep. When it dawns on me, I am starting my new job today. I get up quickly and get ready to head out. I am so excited and nervous at the same time that I am shaking. It is five minutes before 8:00 AM. I park my car, and head through the employee entrance. As I walk in I see the same woman that I saw on the 16th June 2010 when I came for my interview, I walk up to her and introduce myself. She turns around and says “good morning.” Than points to a door to my right; it says manager on the door. I walk towards the door, as I am about to knock and the door opens. A tall woman comes out, wearing way too much make up, high heels, and a very short dress. “Noni Mars, come in, take a seat” she says. “You must be Disha, Pete told me you were coming today.” “You will be...

...traveled. average speed = total distance or speed = d where d is distance and t is time total time traveled t Another way to measure speed is called instantaneous speed. This type is one of the most common ways we measure speed. Instantaneous speed is the measurement of speed at a particular instant. Without the use of a measuring device called a speedometer, instantaneous speed is almost impossible to measure. When both speed and direction are specified for the motion the term velocity is used. In other words, velocity is speed in a particular direction. A person walking eastward at 1 km/h does not have the same velocity as a person walking northward at 1 km/h, even though their speeds are the same. Two persons also have different velocities if they walk in the same direction at different speeds or if they are turning. Calculating Speed Activity PROCEDURE Part A: Mark off your walking distance by: 1. Place a piece of tape on the baseboard, next to the floor, to use as a starting point. (Make sure you have at least 10 meters of space without any obstructions.) 2. Using a meter stick mark of a path 10 meters in length. 3. Place another piece of tape on the baseboard to mark the end of your course. 4. Using the stopwatch, find the time it takes your lab partner(s) to walk the...
