Transport phenomena

Driving is not easy. It takes skill, knowledge, and preparation. When learning how to drive, there are three main objectives, the driver must know how to operate the car, must follow the directions and rules of driving, but also must acknowledge that others may not follow these same rules of driving. In a letter, written by Dave Barry, about this topic, it demonstrates how he decided to prepare his daughter for life on the road. Dave Barry’s letter, “A Floriduh driver’s guide for my teen with a…

October 18, 2014. The morning light trickled down through the dense canopy of trees that encircled the cemetery as I walked through the grassfield in front of the entrance. Only a few clouds blotched the otherwise flawless sky-blue. Passing the entrance that read “Los Angeles National Cemetery”, two signs stood in front of me: one with a list of floral regulations, the other welcoming visitors, while warning them of prohibited activities. Behind it, a black signpost read: “Blue Star Memorial, A…

“Turn right,” chirped the little GPS on my dad’s phone. “Hm, the road is blocked how am I supposed to turn right,” my dad muttered to himself “Hey Zona can you see if there is a different route.” “I can’t get a signal out here,” replied my mother. My family and I were headed on a camping trip up to northern wisconsin to a little camp ground call Pattison State Park. We had been on the road for what seemed like hours and we were in the middle of nowhere. We were running low on gas as we pulled…

I know of a person, who practically lives in her car. I can shamefully say that I am guilty. I solely rely on my car as I can say I am an extremely busy person with no down-time.

Mainly, my car has always been my closet, but lately I managed to turn it into a mini living room. I have always had a complicated schedule; I've worked odd hours,…

On 12-29-2016 at 0007 hours I located a vehicle on McClane Park parking lot after the park was closed. Upon pulling up to the vehicle the subjects inside were moving around and the back passenger (later identified as J2016-5460A) was moving around a lot more than the rest and appeared he might be trying to hide something.

How To: Parallel Park If you want to fit into that tight space, or if you're going to be driving in the city, parallel parking knowledge is a major key. Obviously, parallel parking is the most hated part of any driving course, as well as a tricky task overall, but you're bound to have to do it sometime. It's all about skill, and patience, and possibly a bunch of broken cones or trash cans. Once you get it down, you'll be good for life. Step 1: Find a suitable space. Look for a space you can…

H annelore Bauer’s sister, the thirteen year old Ingeborg “Inge” Bauer, was lugging around a rectangular wooden box with two attached straps, allowing her to carry the box on her back. Long past nightfall, a full moon illuminating the nighttime sky was enough lighting for her. With not a single oncoming vehicle in sight, she crossed an empty countryside road in the Midwest, towards a ditch. Adelburger Walther Schäffer and FVL leaders Lucas Fields, Preston Connelly, and Gudruna Hurley were…
