One-way traffic

Gesture Types by Function In the video, depictive gestures and deictic gestures were used by Vivian and Shane, who were the conversationalists. Depictive gestures are aimed to illustrate what happened, what is happening, and what will happen. It can be iconic, which would illustrate images of a scene. It could also be metaphoric, which is an abstract image connected to an abstract concept. When Vivian first began telling the “wrong way” story, she waved her hand from inside to outside while she said “one-way street” on line 24, and waved her hand from outside to inside while she said “two-way street” on line 27. These hand gestures may look like beats, which are vertical movements with no discernable meaning, unless it is attached to specific words in the conversation. She wanted to make a point that the one-way street and two-way street are opposite roads, so she gave an opposite gesture while describing it. Additionally, when she mentioned “one-way street” again on line 28, she gave one finger to illustrate and emphasize that it was a one-way street. Shane imitated honking the horn by pressing to the air and making a sound when he spoke about how he behaved improperly (line 39). He used gestures to re-create an image of a scene. These are all iconic or depictive gestures. On line 34, another function of gesture was evident, and that is deictic gesture. It simply means pointing. Vivian pointed to Nancy and said “Right? What you telling me?” Her pointing proved that this is…

pylori, the CD80 gMFI values of THP-1 cells exposed to H. pylori derived products in the absence of LPS stimulation were determined and compared with the corresponding value of negative controls. Statistical analysis of the values was then performed using one way ANOVA with Tukey’s post-hoc test to find any statistically significant differences between the means of CD80 gMFI values of the negative control, positive control, and test samples. Samples able to activate THP-1 cells had a higher CD80…

As the body age’s, different ailments and diseases seem to creep in and attach itself to joints, ligaments, and bones. One such disease is osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis is a degeneration of joint and cartilage and the underlying bone. This is more common in the middle age onward. This disease causes pain and stiffness in the joint if affects.

Save Motorists: Legalize Lane Splitting While out riding a motorcycle many times you notice gaps that you could easily fit through when sitting in slow traffic. Then you stop and think twice because it is against the law and could get you a hefty fine. Lane splitting is when riders go between clearly marked lines in traffic. This may sound dangerous but if you think about it from a motorcyclists view it is much safer. California is the only state where lane splitting, also known as filtering,…

these bridges having been in place for nearly 50 years, there were numerous issues. For one, the carrying capacity of the two bridges was not great enough to meet the needs of the area. That was pertinent as with the rise in technology and suburban flight, people were increasingly traveling into the city in the morning to work and out at night to go home. Secondly, the bridges were deteriorating and had reached their maximum life capacity. Without action, the city was facing not only greater…

Chelsea is sick of getting stuck in traffic like this. People are always late to things, like work and school, because the traffic is so bad. Also the poor traffic can cause more crashes. When there are more crashes that makes the traffic even worse. There is way too much traffic, so the roads will be widened, and all that it will take is the tax rate being raised to 12% for a year. Chelsea has a problem. There is way too much traffic. It is the worst all around the high school and the middle…

Do you move to the right lane and let the car pass or do you stay in the left lane, as you are driving at the posted…

and pay little attention to what they do on a daily basis. Driverless cars introduce a safe way that humans can be on the road and multitask. They are reliable and proven to be safer than humans driving on the road and help benefit the flow of traffic. They do this by allowing a system of computers to determine what measures should be taken and what precautions to be looking for on the road that regular people can’t foresee. Driverless cars provide a new, safe alternative for people and allow us…

Imagine a street that no longer needs traffic lights or traffic signs. A public space that allows both automobiles and pedestrians alike to share the road. Children laugh and play in the street, pedestrians cross where they please, and cars and bikes safely drive through to their destination (Hockenos). Although this street will not work in all instances it can and has been implemented before. In the Netherlands, a shared public space like this one is called a woonerf (Biddulph). This type of…

Professional Police Traffic Stops There are three purposes for every traffic stop that a law enforcement officer does. These men and women get specific training which will develop into standard policies and procedures after they started the law enforcement academy to a daily roll call on the job. The first purpose is to help stop a violation of the law to help with public safety. The second purpose is to basically be a warning to other drivers. The third purpose is to help modify a driver's…
