For this exercise, I chose to break the norm of walking on the right side of the hallway and using the right door while entering and exiting a building. This norm has been formed to keep order in crowded hallways and avoid running into other people while walking from place-to-place. This norm upholds the values of creating order in crowded spaces, as well as obeying people’s personal space and boundaries.
As the world’s population continues to migrate and live in urban areas, planners, engineers, and politicians have an important role to ensure that they are livable and sustainable. But what defines an urban area and what makes it so attractive? In my opinion, urban areas are places that consist of a variety of land uses and buildings, where services and amenities are easily accessible to the general public, and includes an established multimodal transportation network. Also, it should be a place where people can play, learn, work, and grow in a safe and collaborative manner. Based on that definition, the novel, “Parable of the Sower” by Octavia Butler mostly portray cities as a problem due to their lack of safety and the oppression
Leukocytosis; the blood contains to many white cells (infection causes an increase of white blood cells)
Before industrialization, people would make time for walking, just as they would make time to eat and drink. Through the decades the activity of walking has transformed due to the suburbanization of society. Many people have changed the way they view walking; this is a result of being exposed to suburbs, technology, and automobiles. In Rebecca Solnit’s essay, “Walking and the Suburbanized Psyche” she argues that the cultural activity of walking is fading due to suburbanization. The suburbanized psyche changes the way people think; most people want to get to their destination as soon as possible instead of walking and enjoying the wonders of nature. Solnit explains that the scenarios portrayed in the suburbs are repetitious and it makes walking less interesting. I agree with Solnit, and argue

List and explain the top 5 factors that are required, at a bare minimum, to make an application secure.
Do we have a process in place in order to cancel anyone VPN access rights as soon as their reason for having the VPN is invalidated?
Most people have different habits when it comes to walking, some walk from the middle of the road, while others wait for the green light to turn on whether it means to miss the bus or train.
In Community Health there are three levels of prevention. Primary, secondary and tertiary. Primary prevention is prevention of problems before they occur. Here health promotion and health protection is focused. Immunizations and health promotion are examples of primary prevention. In Warren County, Family and community health services offer immunizations for infant and school aged children up to age 18. They also offer evaluation and education of Child growth and development. They have sanitation inspection and immunization audits in child care centers as primary prevention available to community residents.
The New Jersey State Law on pedestrian crossing within a marked crosswalk states “…the driver of a vehicle shall stop and remain stopped to all allow a pedestrian to cross the roadway within a marked crosswalk, when the pedestrian is upon, or within one lane of, the half of the roadway, upon which the vehicle is traveling or onto which it is turning. Half of roadway means all traffic lanes conveying traffic in one direction of travel”. Several studies on pedestrian behavior in crosswalks have focused on whether pedestrians are less cautions in marked crosswalks than in unmarked crosswalks. The decision by pedestrians to be cautions or lack thereof may lead to an increase the frequency of interference to vehicles travelling along a street segment. A study by Mitman et al.(TRR 2198 pp23) found that pedestrians in unmarked crosswalk were more likely than pedestrians
33561, that is the number of road related fatalities that have occurred in the United States in the year 2012 alone. This number pales in comparison to that of China’s, its numbers coming in at a chilling 275983 fatalities. The worldwide trend of road fatalities is growing at an extremely rapid rate, this places pressure on companies and governments to come up with a solution to slow down the rate of fatalities and potentially even one day end all road fatalities. Ask any person and they would most likely tell you the reason behind such high numbers of road accidents is simply: bad drivers. These people are not wrong, humans are not perfect creatures, putting us in a fast moving object is bound to cause problems sooner or later. Often is the case where these problems turn out to be fatal.
For business owners, first impressions are of high importance. For many businesses, one of the first things a customer sees is the building’s landscaping. Believe it or not, a business’s landscaping can influence a customer or clients first impression. Businesses with a carefully maintained lawns give customers the impression that they are serious and have good attention to detail. With enough on their plate already, it may be hard for business owners to find the time to take of their lawn and landscaping. In fact, the time business owners spend on lawn maintenance is valuable time that could be spent on more important things, like customer service and growing their business.
Miami lately is a city that has been very interested in being part of the leading cities in caring for the environment and intelligently contributing to its progress. That is why lately we have been listening to proposals such as the construction of bike paths to lower the level of consumption of public transportation and thus eliminate the pollution generated by the gases from vehicles to the environment and at the same time increase the level of awareness in people to have an exercise routine and improve health by lowering the percentages of obesity in the country.
This study forms part of a broader research project that investigates ecological resilience and human disturbances in small urban parks and their implications for urban park design, planning and management. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a method for integrative evaluation of ecological and anthropogenic characteristics of small urban parks. Small urban parks, often referred to as pocket parks (Nordh et al. 2009; Peschardt et al. 2012; Nordh & Østby 2013; Peschardt et al. 2014), can comprises a range of outdoor public area from grey spaces (such as small squares, paved areas) to green spaces ranging from trees to lawns and flower beds (Nordh et al. 2011). For the purpose of this study, we defined small urban parks
Rio Madrid is divided into six districts for host cultural, leisure, sporting and environmental projects. Urban parks can be used to hold informal activities like community building and programmed events such as music festival. RIO Madrid has no specific areas designed for holding events. Urban parks provide leisure opportunities and create a visual identity to strengthen a sense of place and orientation. In Rio Madrid, different water streams express different kind of emotions you can feel in a landscape. Avenida is one of the most important roads in Rio Madrid which is surrounded by beautiful environments. Together with an orchard, Rio Madrid Park creates a popular leisure space. Because of the use of different material than the surrounding area like Portuguese pavement, RIO Madrid has its own identity. From an urban design perspective, urban parks also assist in breaking up the building massing and in creating a rhythm for the development pattern. Rio Madrid functions as a link between other green spaces in the city. Salón de Pinos will link different urban spaces along the river with each other. Thus RIO Madrid stitched up the rupture the highway once caused. Urban parks help to establish the character and identity of an area. In RIO Madrid, the bridges that cross the park filter different traffic flows. The cars are clearly separated from the rest. The cycle path however does not exclude pedestrians. It enhances the experience of the
