Home-riding

I ll start, I realize, with Elizabeth, no longer a child, riding home, knowing that awaiting her was a new life and a new place in the world. 

The therapist assures the client that the items will be held in trust (rather than kept permanendy by the therapist or counselor), and that these items will be turned over to a family member or friend if the client requests it. If the means involve pills, then the pills should be asked for and kept safe by the therapist for the client. If the pills are not needed by the client (e.g., an unnecessary medicine such as Tylenol), or are a necessary medicine (e.g., a prescribed antidepressant), then the therapist may ask the client to therapeutically dispose of them at a later time in therapy. If the instrument is a car (intended to be driven into a tree, off a bridge, etc.), the therapist must intervene and not allow the client to drive home, and instead have the client call for a ride. When a plan is in place and the means are available, professionals need to throw up as many roadblocks as possible to prevent the client from accessing the planned means of harm. 

We started across the androne, toward the main door. I would offer you a ride home, but ordering boats is outside the limits of my authority. ... 

Jacopo played out the charade. SierMfeo is just leaving and would no doubt appreciate a ride home, if it does not take you too far out of your way. ... 

Several of the entries in the table are reasonable scenarios for Paula and Ken. To actually finish the problem, you need a little more information. Assume, for instance, that Ken drove 60 mph. That means that the bus Paula is riding on is driving at 40 mph. The equation now becomes 40f = 60(f- 3), which multiplies out to be 40f = 60f- 180. Simplifying, you get 180 = 20f or t = 9. If Paula rode 9 hours at 40 mph, then the distance from school to home is 40 x 9 =... 

That s impossible now, I said wearily. He s confessed to treason and parricide. They can t overlook those crimes. If you interfere now, you ll probably get both of you hanged. Sweat it out, boy. Your penance begins now. I hauled myself to my feet. If your gondolier is still awake, madonna, I would appreciate a ride home. ... 

Priscilla rides her bike to school at an average speed of 8 miles per hour. She rides her bike home along the same route at an average speed of 4 miles per hour. Priscilla rides a total of 3.2 miles round-trip. How many hours does it take her to ride round-trip ... 

Unknown = time to ride from home to school = x Known = rate from home to school = 8 mph... 

Therefore, Priscilla takes 0.4 hours to ride from school to home. 

The smallest events took so long to prepare. Everybody lent a hand. Bee and Bella offered to dress up and hand out lollies, the boys offered to do a show and Shifty in her green Mazda Esmerelda drove Billy out to Rosebery where an old cable place threw away their rubbish already sorted. From the piles Billy selected five sheets of fine tin and secured them to the roofrack for the ride home. 

Many books have described Einstein s life, particularly after he came to Princeton. He was a stickler for time keeping and rode a bike to the office, 9 00 arrival, riding home again at 1 00 p.m. to work with his assistant in mathematics. But he sometimes caused embarrassment in the social scene—arriving, say, at a formal banquet in dinner jacketed and black tie, but wearing casual grey pants and sandals (no socks). To questions about this, his rejoinder was logical The invitation said Dinner jacket and black tie. ... 

Now let s intensify that scenario. The trip home from work is far from an idyllic ride through a beautiful valley filled with flowering shrubs and birds in the sky. No, it s bumper-to-bumper traffic with white knuckles on the steering wheel. After thirty, forty, or more minutes of near collisions and road rage, our worker finally comes home.
