We generally don't think much of public sidewalks unless they're treacherous or in poor condition when walking on them. However, they can also threaten the assets you've built up over the years. If you're looking forward to the day when you can leave your job and enjoy your retirement nest egg, the front sidewalk next to the street could take that dream away. As you might have guessed by now, that threat is a devastating liability lawsuit from someone injured on the sidewalk. Isn't the town…

pedestrian-only. On three Saturdays in August 2016, hundreds of thousands of people will take advantage of Summer Streets, an annual event that prohibits cars from driving on a major thoroughfare connecting Central Park to the Brooklyn Bridge, and opens roads for pedestrians. "This is what everyday life could look like as if people mattered," says Paul Steely White. "The worst thing as an urban dweller is to be stuck with the auto as your only option."

Sitting two inches taller than a regular stock truck, it looks like a beast rolling down the highway. Camouflage covers the bottom quarter of the truck giving it that backwoods look. A large camouflage duck head sits in the middle of the back window, and greets vehicles who come up behind the truck on the highway.

“The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost, recognizes the theme of making choices. In the poem, the speaker comes across a fork in the road when walking in the woods on an autumn day. Presented before him are two alternatives, with one option reasonably obvious and the other more subtle. He anticipates that one path has been traveled on more often than the other; however both paths are equally untraveled. While the speaker desires to follow both routes, he can only choose one, thus he arbitrarily…

The field of engineering impacts our society in many, many ways. There are the most obvious impacts, technological and technical improvements (means of transportation, electronics, resource distributions services, et cetera), but there are impacts that may be somewhat vague, such as global and societal impacts. Both impacts must be weighted equally by the modern, citizen engineer. As an engineering student in southeast Ohio, one of the more recent and relevant examples of engineering impacting a…

not be able to accomplish what is expected of them. The most common Campbell stage in real life has to be the road of trials. Everyone goes through the road of trial. How can I prove it? Your personality changes through time.

We all fall apart Thesis statement: In the story Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech, there are three main themes that the plot, subplot, conflict, and characters show. Introduction A unknown person once said, “ One of the hardest lessons in life is letting go. Whether it’s guilt, anger, love, loss, or betrayal. Change is never easy. We fight to hold on and we fight to let go.” This is incredibly shown in multiple occasions throughout the book Walk Two Moons. The characters go through loss, love,…
