"Free Parking Issue"   

 As I was reading the article "Free parking is killing cities" by Dayna Evans it stated that there are several reasons why free parking is such a hassle in the cities of the US. This issue is causing people to be late to their work offices and appointments and is also causing the citizens of the city great anger. Some major issues that make parking in free spaces include traffic congestion, people having to drive around for parking spaces and wasting the needed time, and street parking. The traffic congestion is the biggest issue because the fact that people are trying to pull into a parking space and pull out of a parking space disturbs the drivers that are stuck behind the car that is in the middle of that process and the majority of the time they can't even get around that car. This issue mostly happens in parking lots and garages because you can see that sometimes there will be a whole line of cars stuck in one place. After all, one car is having trouble with the parking. This also wastes a lot of time because the people that are going into the city are most likely trying to get somewhere as quickly as possible they have to find a parking spot, but if there isn't one they spend much-needed time looking for one. Street parking is also another issue because you can't park on the street for long or else your car will get towed out of the area and you'll have to retrieve it for example the article stated that people in New York are having to move their cars off the street after a short period of time for the street cleaning and then they have nowhere to park.

Cultural Anthropology blog

 India Riley Mr.Roddy IHSS September 2, 2021 Anthropology blog     My article was about wildfires. All across the Mediterranean fires are increasingly becoming larger, and more dangerous. This could be due to many different causes, the most likely is human inflicted. Because of climate change the chances of a fire have significantly increased. While farming is practical and beneficial for food, most farming strategies have become more harmful than good for our environment. The chemical pesticides and fertilizers are extremely flammable, with just one spark the entire field could burst into flame within minutes. When dedicating a large amount of land to farmland or cattle range, its safe to assume that at some point that will be engulfed in a fire. Rarely a field could emerge to flames even if a human hasn't touched it, because plants release so much oxygen, too much of any sort of plant could combust to flames during drought seasons or lightning storms significantly...

Prisoner of The Infidels

  Niko Cantu Mr. Rodey IHSS 21 October 2021 Prisoner of The Infidels 1）Osman’s writing is far more modern than other writings from his time. It has a very direct and straightforward structure and its translation to English is paractly identical to modern English writing. An example of this direct writing was when Osman said “From this, I understood God's will,namly, that my master had no intention of ever granting me freedom”. This sentence for one use I as he refers to himself in the first person, which was not very common during that time.   2) Osman is clearly very connected to his Muslim religon and repedidly mentions Allah throughou the story. A clear example of this use is when he says “I have no money, and no one is going to help me because of Allah''. This is a clear example of how SOman instinctively believes that Allah may not have an effect on his current situation, he thinks of Allah as a part of his daily life.  3) A discussion that Osman had to make was...

IHSS reading Prisoner of the Infidels Ira Williams

  Ira Williams Mr.Roddy October 27, 2021 IHSS IHSS reading Prisoner of the Infidels Pick a section to note the style of his writing.  How would you characterize it? The writing was very descriptive and rough at the same time, it made you see and picture the things he was going through and realize how bad it was. It was very humbling to read how he was beaten and imprisoned in a cell with his hand and feet shackled, on his stomach too. What role does his religion play in his thinking?  Give an example. He was very risky in what he did because he had is divine wisdom and foresight to guide him, as well as Allah to fall back on . one instance of this is when he “saw” people surrounding the city and so he slid along a frozen lake to another town, where he hid in a barrel. What is a decision that he had to make?  Do you think it was a good one? Why or why not? When he left his old master, I think that he should have stayed, he was treated pretty well, even was given some ...
