Parahphrasing

Of the more than 1000 bicycling deaths each year, three-fourths are caused by head injuries. Half of those killed are school-age children. One study concluded that wearing a bike helmet can reduce the risk of head injury by 85 percent. In an accident, a bike helmet absorbs the shock and cushions the head. From "Bike Helmets: Unused Lifesavers," Consumer Reports (May 1990): 348."


According to the previews text, three fourths out of a thousand bicycling deaths are cause by head injuries. It is known that a helmet can reduce the risk of getting a head injury. Nevertheless, bikers don't use it.

Questions/ Answer



The Great Galvis

I won't post pictures or videos of mine because you have the possibility  of seeing me every day of the week:)

I will quickly mention the background of my family.  My family's wealth emerged from owning lands and livestock  vicinity in a town located in Meta called San Martin.  Don't know if illegal activities occurred like in Mr Gatsby's case... Im just joking ;)

I see myself very similar to Gatsby in the way that he lives for a purpose, this purpose is winning Daisy over again. I do the same thing / did the same thing not much ago. I "lost" my ex girlfriend, it was all my fault and i lived for getting her back again. I did a lot of stuff for this to happen ( I don't want to entered in detail cause maybe i feel ashamed jejej). This lasted almost a year and I didn't win her back and she dated other persons but i didn't care and kept trying.

Now in days, i can't do the same thing well.... I have a new priority; school.

What defines America

I'll say that the star spangled banner defines America in the way that it narrates the moment that the Americans are defending Fort McHenry which later on it would mean a symbol of freedom throught America that will generate inspiration to keep on fighting for freedom and the independence of the United Sates.
"But United States, isn't America"  Thanks troll, I notice it but you have to take into account that the first revolution given in America territory was The Anglo American Revolution and later on this revolution will inspire other through America.
