The Colorado Blvd. overpass above the South transitional 710 Freeway on-ramp is a commercial street. On both the North and South side of Colorado Blvd. the overpass has a metal wire fence attached to a concrete base and the fence measures approximately 20 feet high.
Mrs. Adams is a middle school language teacher in a low-income area of Baltimore and has a student who does not have the means to own a computer or have transportation to a library to complete the given assignment. Mrs. Adams is unaware of the situation and assigns her students homework that requires a computer to watch a DVD and complete pages in a workbook. Mrs. Adams noticed Anna was consistently failing to turn in homework, but did well when completing in-class assignments. Mrs. Adams decided to give Anna detention as a consequence for not turning in homework. Anna felt very embarrassed. Anna chose to work on the homework during the detention and caught up on all the previous assignments. When Mrs. Adams asked why she did not complete the homework on time, but did during detention. Anna explained that she did not own a computer at home and did not have the means to travel to a library due to her parents work schedule. Multiple ethical decisions come into consideration within this scenario. Should Mrs. Adams just assume her students have the means to complete homework that requires technology? Was due process given? What would be a fair alternative now that Mrs. Adams is
The patient,MMMM, needs a blood transfusion and possibly surgery to save her life as well as the life of her unborn child related to an injury she sustained from a motor vehicle accident. The patient does not want to receive blood products or surgery. The patient's reluctance is related to her faith, which is based upon biblical scripture pertaining to blood. The primary ethical issue in this case is the patient's right to autonomy. There is another dilemma in this case and that is the unborn child is at an increased risk of death should the patient decide against the transfusion or surgery. When an adult refuses a blood transfusion related to religious beliefs despite receiving the information of benefit versus risks, it is considered an informed decision. However, a parent that refuses a blood transfusion for their child based upon this same belief may face legal charges of abuse or neglect and a judicial decision will be made (Burkhardt & Nathaniel, 2007, p. 456). This raises a precarious ethical dilemma for the health care team related to the principle of the autonomous rights of Juana as well as the principle of beneficence toward her unborn child.

After reading the article, First, Discover Their Strengths, the first thought that I had was how much all students, especially those with disabilities, would benefit from educators discovering their strengths and using those strengths to aid in developing other aspects of their learning. This is something that is not often practiced within the classroom and many students quickly become labeled in a negative way, those with and without disabilities. Because of this, many students are rarely supported in the way they should be educationally within the general education classroom. After reading the article I reviewed the information that I was to gather on a student and thought about which student would benefit most from
The alternative of widening the Yaquina Bay Bridge to two lanes with a medium in the middle and a bike lane was discussed by ultimately dismissed. The long term viability of this alternative would not make sense with future traffic congestion anticipation. By adding a bike lane and medium, traffic would not be reduced but the cost would still be
Since the dawn of mankind, humans have always held an instinctual desire to travel. There is a route to any destination, and in this day and age, these routes are much faster due to the implementation of interstate systems. These long, straight highway roads provide America’s citizens a place to drive their cars at higher speeds, thus allowing us to reach our destination much faster than taking standard roads. When Dwight D. Eisenhower signed the Federal-Aid Highway Act of 1956, he set into motion one of the largest construction projects in U.S. history, and introduced an invention that would completely change America’s system of travel for decades to come.
After reviewing the revised progress schedule update #13-1 (data dated 11/15/2016), activity (C85132-1903) “MassDOT Answers RFI #009” was marked by MIG Corporation as Actual finished on October 31, 2016. According to Szczepan Ucher, the Assistant Bridge Engineer for Structure Maintenance MassDOT – District 3: " MIG was unable to move barriers until all construction activities were completed in phase 2B, which occurred on 11/2, the same night the barriers were moved. The revised plans were sent to MIG on 10/31 and the barriers were moved on
Although Knoxville has many dangerous spots transportation wise, I have chosen an intersection in Alcoa in which I have much more knowledge of to discuss. This particular intersection is the US 129 bypass at Louisville Road. I mention that I have previous knowledge of this intersection because I am in fact an employee of this city, and have therefore compiled crash data as well as traffic counts for such. Not only is this intersection dangerous because of high speeds, but there is also a lack of acceleration lanes in which to enter traffic, and businesses such as Wal-mart and Cracker Barrel contribute to it’s cross road over crowding.
6) Is a need to for of widening a lane in congested highways for the evaluation of quality of service and capacity analysis of highway around Nagpu city.
In order to get in detail to the current traffic control system, hybrid methodology was crucial for us, so that we can categorize the intersections as “Y” and “+” junction, and then get to know about all the flaws being exist in traffic deadlocks on road junction. In order to get rid of all the botches in current system, the best possible solution was to design an intelligent system that will kick-out the logjam. Therefore, after get to the heart of the problem, Java SE 6 was the possible tool so that we can come up with simulated version of current traffic control system.
How to Approach an Intersection When Riding a Motorcycle What you need to know about approaching intersections with appropriate speed when riding a motorcycle. How to Handle Speed and Intersections When Riding a Motorcycle While riding a motorcycle is an excellent form of transportation, it is vital that you understand the rules of the road in regards to your alternative mode of transportation. In addition to the laws regarding all motor vehicles, there are special considerations regarding riding a motorcycle, both legal and common sense. Among those is learning how to approach intersections with safety in mind.
First, I built a Vissim model with two classmates that included an intersection traffic control, a simulation of the urban route signal coordination, and a pedestrian model and simulation based on the data of the Gaoxin and Guanghua Street junction in Xi'an to evaluate the effect of traffic, discover the relationship between the traffic state and the traffic control variables, and optimize the efficiency of road networks. We then realized the distinction and relationship between 'point control' and 'route control' by setting the signalized intersection detector, as well as changing conditions of the road and time from the output results. Furthermore, we designed three consecutive intersection signals timing a city trunk. To our surprise, we also found there is no full-red traffic light setting—only a red/yellow setting was defined by German in Vissim. As result, we could only change the light's cycle to make it right, even though we risked distorting the simulation in the process. Solving such practical problems not only improved my ability to critically think about problems and solve them with strong communication, but also motivated me to learn more in the transportation
