Biking Lanes in School: Why Should There Be More

Why is it so important to have biking lanes in school campus?

According to the Ohio State University, “Bike lanes could reduce accidents on campus.”
On the past years, there have been a number of bicycle-related incidents near the campus in Ohio. Most of the students think that adding more bike lanes on the school ground could solve the problem to prevent accidents. If there are no bike lanes, young bikers who are also students, will be striding on the sidewalk or they will be adhering to ride on the motorway where accidents usually happen.

And by adding more bicycle racks or lanes, young bicyclists could easily find space for parking as the students could feel safer. Conversely, the faculty and the school administrative personnel think that it’s more significant to properly educate students about bike and traffic safety that could help the school campus to reduce bike-related issues and control the problem at ease. ...

Here's a video made by Reach and C.A.M.P.O. to inform cyclists and motorists the correct way to use bike lanes.

Be True to Your School (by the Beach Boys)

When some loud braggart tries to put me down

And says his school is great

I tell him right away

Now what's the matter buddy

Aint you heard of my school

Its number one in the state

So be true to your school now

Just like you would to your girl or guy

Be true to your school now

And let your colors fly

Be true to your school

I got a lettermans sweater

With a letter in front

I got for footbal and track

Im proud to where it now

When I cruise around

The other parts of the town

I got a decal in back

SpongeBob SquarePants' version of ‘Ripped Pants’ song is comparable to the Beach Boys' smash hit single that also featured in an episode of Gilmore Girls and parodied by heavy metal and Twisted Sister's song 'Be Crool To Your Scuel'.

'Be True to Your School' was composed by the frontman Brian Wilson and founding member Mike Love. Honestly, I can't really bear this song, because I’ve attended learning institutes that are not worth being true to the students, so I am pretty unkind to my alma mater. I can’t even consider my high school experience as one of the best times of my life! But still, the song was quite likable because it’s a Beach Boys song, if any ill-famed band will perform this, I will never take time to heed! :P

5 Shakespeare's Most Tragic Stories

England's national poet William Shakespeare began penning tragedies as he thinks that other English poets’ tragic tales were deficient with its imaginative point and artistic structure. The Bard of Avon used the catastrophe and miseries of a prominent person as the main character in his tragic compositions. As for the audience, thrill and highpoint of the plot were just an auxiliary attraction. William Shakespeare’s narratives were bizarrely astonishing with their timeless themes and stagy greatness; his works are still perceptible to the readers until this period.

At the present time, the English playwright is adored and worshiped. He’s recognized as a hero for his great impact on world literature. His plays were transcribed in the traditional style with intricate allegories and rhetorical sayings; he predominantly used a metrical style involving of lines of unrhymed iambic pentameter, better known as blank verse. William Shakespeare’s achievement in literature doesn’t transpire the misfortunes of his made-up characters on which he devastates the hero of his masterpieces. The following are just five of his best illustrated tragedies transcribed during the Renaissance era. 

The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark 

The Tragedy of Macbeth

The Tragedy of King Lear

The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet

The Tragedy of Antony and Cleopatra

Are There Any Effects of Contemporary Interaction on Old-style Learning?

Being an individual in a modern world has progressively altered the way we communicate, by means of text messaging, Email, instant messaging or chatting and other digital means of communication. It has even transformed our literacy. But the impacts of digital messaging on customary literature don’t really change our verbal skill though it supplements a little more mastery to our wisdom. A number of internet slangs and cyber lingos don’t really aid in all circumstances such as saying out loud “LOL”, “LMFAO”, “ROFL” and so forth. That would be sound nutty hare-brained if we verbalize these internet jargons in the presence of others. But instead, we would merely do this stuff in idiotic action.

On the other hand, traditional literacy doesn’t play a role in IMs, as we comprehend and understand more about the modern semantic that is inevitable only to use in our virtual lives. These terminologies aren’t denoted to define the things we always do, the ideas that we have done and plans that we are currently doing. These common netspeaks aren’t really even words. We, people, just have created them into terms for a fact that it is more easy and effortless than penning the whole phrase.   

Perhaps, these Internet short-hand lingoes don’t have a full influence on old-style literacy.  I guess it remains out of harm, as traditional learning entombed within on literary books and well-researched journals. Nevertheless, virtual slangs are here to stay, as as the vocabulary cultivates every day... 

To be continued...

Hopeless, head over heels in the moment... I never thought that I'd get hit by this love bug again...

What should we be instilling on youths regarding sexual practice?

There are many aspects about sex ed. People in the society are still backing up some of the most of the contemporary predicament connecting to the reality, but not all traits of delivering edifying information on reproductive health and sex.

That’s why I listed down below several viewpoints that are helpful to young minds about sex education.

• To have a safer sex and to avoid sexually transmitted diseases, use condom to prevent the spread.
• Providing information on how pregnancy can occur by teaching how male and female reproductive system functions.
• Learning the most suitable birth control process to avoid unwanted conception
• Educating young people through a co-ed health programme about the anatomy and physiology of mixed gender and to find out how bodies work.
• Discussions regarding how to end unwanted pregnancies like unsafe abortion, its consequences and effects.
• Through sorting out boys and girls in health classes, we can totally understand our own anatomy and physical development.

Personal Insights about Sex Education 101

I guess the best thing to lessen the victims of unwanted pregnancies is a precise technical honest sex education. Studying sex edu101 doesn’t steer to more sex, but it spearheads to safer and responsible sex.

Aside from abstinence-only program, government administration should also cling on to their ethical views out of education to moderately diminish teen pregnancies and to gradually lessen the transmission of STDs.

But I’m also wondering, how young people discovered about sexual practices. Well, as part of the subject when I was a teenager I learned to take my own views pertaining to the eclectic matter. I am really open-minded about it and I never think of it as gross or a taboo. My permissive mind thinks of other stuff like being a teen mom and some questions on how to prevent different creeping viral diseases. Unfortunately, some people never contemplated about it. Lack of discussion encompassing birth control methods and so forth has left many teenage girls as well as young lass at risk of undesirably unexpected conditions.

Handsome Professors on TV Series that You’d Definitely Love to See in Lecture Halls

Yeah right! Most of the time, you are really damn jaded-and-tired of attending in university campus because of too much coursework, loads of projects, sickening packed lunch, and those silly bullies.

But schooling is indeed more fun, if there are good-looking professors in front of the classroom that will certainly hypnotize your eyes to make glimpse upon while fantasizing them in your repetitive daydreaming inside the laboratory and lecture theaters; whereas you always act as if you’re genuinely paying attention to their tutorial sessions.

Still it’s really worthwhile to exert an effort to be present on class discussions everyday, if it’s plausibly guaranteeing all students to be edified by these five scorching hot professors on TV series:

Mr. Shue - Glee

Annoying Youtube Video of the Day: Hot Girl Problems

After Rebecca Black made a splash with "Friday", here comes a girl team-up that has people saying, "Really? Not again."

"Hot Girl Problems" is the latest video from Youtube that is following in the footsteps of a video about a teenager who shares her frustrations about the world.  Rebecca was giddy about Friday and now - Drew Garrett and Lauren Willy - are now "singing" about the concerns of "hot" girls.  They released the video about a week ago and right now it ha garnered over 3 million hit with 200,000 + dislikes. The duo attempted to harmonize their tunes but to no avail.  Instead of day time, they shot the video in a car (also) during the night.

Apparently, "hot" girls lie sometimes and that they have problems too - but who said that they didn't in the first place?

I know, I know, writing about them might unfortunately add to their already "hot"  popularity.  It's just that I want to send the message out there that the world doesn't need to hear the trivial, petty, and narcissistic "problems" of two 17-year old girls.

But hey, this is just my two cents. Judge for yourself.
