In The Wednesday Wars by Gary D. Schmidt, to where do Mrs.Baker and Holling go on a "field trip"?

During the middle of yet another tedious bomb drill one Wednesday afternoon, Mrs. Baker decides to take things into her own hands. She tells Holling that they will leave the classroom to survey "points of local architectural interest."


Once permission is granted by Holling's mother and Mrs. Sidman at the Main Administrative Office, Mrs. Baker takes Holling on a field trip. She drives both of them over the Long Island Expressway to a Quaker meetinghouse on the north side of the city; this meetinghouse was a station on the Underground Railroad a hundred and fifty years ago.


Next, Mrs. Baker shows Holling the first jail on Long Island. Holling discovers that the jail only has two cells, one for men and another one for women. The first man to occupy a jail cell there had been found guilty of stealing a horse, while the first woman to be imprisoned there had failed to pay the required church tax.


On the east side of town, Mrs. Baker and Holling visit Hicks Park (formerly known as Hicks Common) where the first settlers grazed their cattle. They also visited Saint Paul's Episcopal School, where British soldiers were quartered during the American Revolution.


On the south side of town, Holling visits a Jewish synagogue, the Temple Emmanuel. It had been rebuilt thrice during its lifetime. The first temple burned down because of lightning. The second building was torched by British soldiers as a punishment to the congregation for supporting the American Revolution, and the third building was destroyed by arsonists. Mrs. Baker maintains that the ark holding the Torah was never damaged in any of the three fires.


On the west side of town, Mrs. Baker points out to Holling the first abolitionist school in North America. The last place Mrs. Baker and Holling visit is the Catholic St. Adelbert's Church. There, Holling prays that a bomb never drops on his high school or on any of the places he has just visited. He prays for Danny Hupfer in his Hebrew class, Lieutenant Baker in the jungles of Vietnam, and his sister in her car, on the way to California.

Is there a word/phrase for "unperformant"?

As a software engineer, I need to sometimes describe a piece of code as something that lacks performance or was not written with performance in mind. Example: This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. Based on my Google searches, this isn't a real word. What is the correct way to describe this? EDIT My usage of "performance" here is in regard to speed and efficiency. For example, the better the performance of code the faster the application runs. My question and example target the negative definition, which is in reference to preventing inefficient coding practices. Answer This kind of coding style leads to unmaintainable and unperformant code. In my opinion, reads more easily as: This coding style leads to unmaintainable and poorly performing code. The key to well-written documentation and reports lies in ease of understanding. Adding poorly understood words such as performant decreases that ease. In addressing the use of such a poorly ...

A man has a garden measuring 84 meters by 56 meters. He divides it into the minimum number of square plots. What is the length of the square plots?

We wish to divide this man's garden into the minimum number of square plots possible. A square has all four sides with the same length.Our garden is a rectangle, so the answer is clearly not 1 square plot. If we choose the wrong length for our squares, we may end up with missing holes or we may not be able to fit our squares inside the garden. So we have 84 meters in one direction and 56 meters in the other direction. When we start dividing the garden in square plots, we are "filling" those lengths in their respective directions. At each direction, there must be an integer number of squares (otherwise, we get holes or we leave the garden), so that all the square plots fill up the garden nicely. Thus, our job here is to find the greatest common divisor of 84 and 56. For this, we prime factor both of them: `56 = 2*2*2*7` `84 = 2*2*3*7` We can see that the prime factors and multiplicities in common are `2*2*7 = 28` . This is the desired length of the square plots. If you wi...
