Paragraph B

What is RescueTime?

RescueTIme is a web-based time-management tool

that allows you to easily understand how you spend

your time You install a program on your computer

and we magically track al of your time usage

I always have a lot of different applications and sites

open at any given time How does RescueTime handle

that?

RescueTime doesn’t really care which applications you

have open, but rather pays attention to which

application or site is currently “in focus” In other

words, we’re measuring what’s what you are paying

attention to, not what you have open

What about when I get up from my computer?

How are you going to measure that?

Why would you ever want to do that? Seriously,

though – RescueTime has an idle timeout that will

stop the data collection process if there hasn’t been

mouse or keyboard activity for a certain period of

time

How accurate is RescueTime?

While searching for information on road safety for a school assignment, you find this post on a weblog Read the

post carefully and answer the questions that follow.

JAYWALKING

The origins of jaywalking, the illegal crossing of a roadway by a pedestrian, lie in a propaganda campaign by the motor industry in the early 1900s The word ‘jaywalker’ was first used to describe someone from the countryside who wasn’t accustomed to the rules of the road for pedestrians in the city, so sould attempt to cross the streets

anywhere In 1913, a department store in New York hired a Santa Claus, who stood on the sidewalk bellowing at

people who didn’t cross the street properly and calling them jaywalkers

The idea of being fined for crossing the road at undesignated areas or without regard for traffic regulations can confuse forreign visitors to the US The UK, Norway and France are among the many developed countries where jaywalking is not an offence, but their rates of pedestrian injuries are lower than those of the US However, a handful

of countries have followed the lead of the US and imposed anti-jaywalking measures Police in China, for example, began fining jaywalkers in 2013, and in Singapore, jaywalking can lead to a $1,000 fine or a three-month jeail term

In the US, jaywalking can result in a fine ranging from $190 to $250 As in most countries with anti-jaywalking legislation, enforcement of the law here is sporadic, often only triggered by repeated complaints from drivers in certain areas But jaywalking has been illegal in the US for many decades According to Jacob Rath, a history professor at the University of Virginia, a key moment was in 1929 when a petition was signed by the citizens of Cincinnati to limit the top speed of cars to 25 mph Though the petition failed, car makers scrambled to shift the blame for pedestrian casualties from motorists to pedesetrians Sood, he adds, they also started influencing school safety education by stressing that “streets are for cars, not for children.” As a result, anti-jaywalking laws were adopted in many cities and had become the norm by the end of the 1930s

In the decades that followed, the overriding goal of city planners and engineers was to allow traffic to circulate

unhindered “For years, pedestrians were essentially written out of the equation when it came to designing streets,”

says Tom Vanderbilt, author of Traffic – Why We Drive the Way We Do “They didn’t even appear in early computer models, and when they did, it was largely for their role in blocking vehicle traffic This has made US cities unusually hostile to pedestrians,” says Vanderbilt Jaywalking has become an “often misundertood umbrella term”, covering many situations in which the pedestrian should, in effect, have the right of way

In the US, resistance to anti-jaywalking legislation is growing When the Los Angeles Polilce Department recently adertised an anti-jaywalking campaign on its Facebook page, respondents accused the police of simply seeking an easy source of revenue And in New York, in its effort to crack down on jaywalking, the mayor’s office has come up against opposition from voters and police officers Advocates of jaywalking say careless drivers, not pedestrians, are most often to blame for motorist-pedestrian accidents, pedestrian deaths and injuries, and that there is no evidence

to prove that anti-jaywalking campaigns are effective They believe that there is too little experimentation with projects that aim to make US cities more pedestrian-friendly, such as increasing motorists’ awareness of pedestrians and reducing traffic speeds in urban areas

Leave your comments:

Very interesting facts about jaywalking, but your post is wrong when it states that “it is not an offence in the “UK” Jaywalking is an offence in Northern Ireland (part of the UK), although, fortunately, traffic officers rarely enforce the law But if and when they do, it can result in either a written warning or a £30 fine.
