When he is leaving, it brings to mind that he may be dying as he is old and is suddenly aware of his surroundings. Perhaps he sees them as useless articles of materialism, stuff he should have thrown away years ago, but in his arrogance kept. He could be seeing his life in those pieces of trash, realizing that he has lived in vain, or that his life means nothing. He may also be frugal, or trying to hold on to his past, "junk and trash an old man saves", as many older people do.\n\nAdjectives: swept unevenly, red sand (symbolic of blood?), boxes spilled (a fight?), junk and trash. Is it possible that the old man has just been murdered and as he makes his way up to Heaven, he is struck by the scene, the red of the floor and the mess he has made in his struggle?\n\nI think the old man is tired and ready to give his soul up to Oblivion. I think this scene is just after the death blow is dealt and he is reflecting on his life. However, I don't know if this is the whole piece, or if this is all you're given.\n\nMuch Luck!!!\n\n~~Naomi

See what you think about this approach - \n\nInitially the COM of the system is at the 15 foot mark - the man's 200 lb COM is at 20 ft and the canoe's 200 lb COM is at 10 ft. Since you are neglecting friction between the canoe/man system and the environment, the COM of the canoe/man system can't change - change in COM would require some force, and there is no mechanism available to transmit any force. So that means at the end, the COM of the canoe/man system is at the same place relative to the pier as it was at the beginning - i.e. at the 15 foot mark. Since at the end the man is now at the end of the canoe nearest the pier, and the COM has to be at the 15 foot mark, the man must be at the 10 foot mark, and the far end of the canoe is at the 30 foot mark. Drawing a picture helps !!

The bracelets I found to be the best.  Using medication makes it difficult as it is best not to drink alcohol with it.  The stabilizers are so good on the ships nowadays that you can hardly determine that the ship is moving.  If you did start to feel strange, believe it or not, the best thing to do is to eat, especially crackers and dry foods.  One waiter had me put a LOT of salt on a slice of lemon and suck it.  Believe me, NOTHING was going to come up after that.  Another trick is not to think about it and have a great time.

This is an old tradition and in the past captains did go down with the ship, it was considered an honorable thing to do, times have changed and I'm pretty sure that that tradition is no longer being practiced.  I think that some may chose to go down if not all the "passengers" have been removed.

Hi SimAlex--how about a suggestion from an Old Dog? (Just kidding.) These two aren't your only choices! Taking what you express as opposites, angry or passive, I wouldn't be either way.\nAnger is a waste of time, & passivity is, well, submissive, lacking in initiative. Yet when appropriate a little seasoning of "caustic" works, as well as there are times to be quiet. It so much depends on the situation with these last two. There are no "absolutes," do you think??

It's sort of like Simon Says.\nHere is one variation:\nAhoy Mateys! Welcome aboard the good ship ZOOM!\n\nThis game is for 4 or more players and should be played in an open area.\n\nOne player is the captain of the ship, and the rest of the players have to follow her orders.\n\nThe captain gives four commands. When she says "ship," players have to run to the right.\n\nWhen she says "deck," players have to run to the middle.\n\nWhen she says "shore," players have to run to the left.\n\nAnd when she says "hit the deck," players have to run to the middle and lie down on their stomachs.\n\nIf a player makes a mistake, he's out.\n\nThe last player left at the end is the winner.\n\nReady, set... bon voyage!

No Brain work required. \n\nInside the spaceship is an independent frame of reference, thus everything to everyone inside is happening at normal speeds, people are talking, walking and shooting stewardesses as normal, the bullet travels quickly to its target and she is shot and falls to the ground.\n\nNo Laws of light speed are violated because each set of actions takes place in that independent frame of reference.\n\nTo the outside universe everything taking place inside the ship (from an external point of view) is happening incredibly slowly, so slowly that we think the stewardess should be able to get out of the way - so we reach in with our multi-dimensional hand to help her - and in doing so become PART of that frame and everything speeds up to normal (and our observations of the outside universe show it sped up to chipmunk speed).\n\nSee that's why Light speed is such a killer for so many folks to understand. Light speed is independent of your frame of reference. It is ALWAYS the same speed, regardless of what YOU are doing, it doesn't CARE what you are doing and shows it's utter contempt for you, me and everyone else in the universe by doing what it does at only one speed.\n\nSimple!

An older man may face challenges with balance and walking on a sea going vessel. Ships are at the mercy of the weather and the ocean so walking, balance, and keeping your stomach from getting upset all work together. This could affect his nerves and then his regularity as well. Also if the diet varies much from what he is used to it may upset his stomach, especially if he is a "nervous" person.\nIf the individual is easily disoriented then a sea voyage would not be recommended since the boat would not be anything like the community or home where he lives and that could prove stressful and difficult for him.

This verse is part of God's talking to Job about His ability and Job's inability. In verses 8-11, God states He and He alone has the power to limit the seas movements. They can go no farther than he allows and waves can get no higher than He wants them to. Sounds like a statement to mankind also...lol
