...THE CN TOWER 1. Relevant Info Complete name: Canadian National Tower Location: 301 Front Street West – Downtown Toronto Height: 553,33 mts = 1,815 Feet 2. History In the 70’s the building bloom in Toronto was been placed; however, people were experiencing problems with TV signal, since buildings weren’t tall enough to capture signal in their best. Therefore, the idea of creating a really high building that would solve communications problems and being a entertainment center at the same time for locals and foreigners. It was built by Canadian National Railway. The construction started on February 6th, 1973 and it was completed in February 22nd, 1974. It opened to public on June 26, 1976 3. Importance Nowadays, the CN Tower has become of one the world’s heights buildings in the world. It used to be the highest 30 years ago. Also, it is one of Canada’s classic symbols and Toronto’s greatest attraction. CFNY, CHUM, CHFI, CKFM, Q107, CHIN, CJRT, CJEZ, CBC radio and City TV, CFTO-TV, TVO, CBLT, CFMT, Global, CBLFT, and CICA all use the Tower's superior transmission capabilities. Also, UHF, VHF and television equipment broadcast by the transmission area located on the Tower. As a tourism attraction, the CN Tower is visited by 2 millions visitor each year.

...pediatrics, geriatrics, psychiatric/mental health, adult health, acute/critical care, and community health among others. In addition to direct patient care, CNSs also engage in teaching, mentoring, consulting, research, management and systems improvement. Able to adapt their practice across settings, these clinicians greatly influence outcomes by providing expert consultation to all care providers and by implementing improvements in health care delivery systems. AACN supports the full definition of the Clinical Nurse Specialist outlined in the American Nurses Association’s 2004 publication titled Nursing: Scope & Standards of Practice. (See Attachment A). Further, the growing body of research on CNS outcomes shows a strong correlation between CNS interventions and safe, cost-effective patient care. CNS practice has been directly linked to reducing hospital costs and lengths of stay, reduced frequency of emergency room visits, improved pain management practices, increased patient satisfaction with nursing care, and fewer complications in hospitalized patients (Fulton & Baldwin, 2004). Given this strong connection to patient safety, AACN encourages hospitals and...

Privatization and deregulation of the rail industry led to some of CN’s success, but CN had to cut costs and increase revenues. Cutting costs meant reducing workforce and closing or selling unprofitable tracks. It also meant investing in more efficient rail equipment and technology. Increasing revenues required focusing on customers’ needs and expectations. It also required attracting customers whose business was growing more rapidly. CN’s strategic plan was based on the following three thrusts: productivity, customer focus and the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). As a result of CN’s success, CN needs to move forward and investigate how to continue growing its revenues while maintaining if...

...CNS (Central Nervous System) Cancer I. Anatomy The central nervous system (CNS) is made up by the brain and spinal cord. This complex system controls both things that we intentionally think about and do, like walking and talking, and essential body functions that occur without specific thought on our part, such as breathing and digesting food. The CNS is also involved with the five senses of seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, and smelling, as well as emotions, thoughts, and memory. The brain is a soft, spongy organ that is made up of nerve cells and tissue. It is divided into three major sections: the cerebrum, the cerebellum, and the brainstem. The cerebrum is the largest part of the brain, and is divided into two halves, called the right and left hemispheres. The right hemisphere controls the left side of the body and the left hemisphere controls the right side of the body. Each hemisphere is further divided into sections called lobes. There are four lobes in each hemisphere: the frontal, parietal, occipital, and temporal, and each lobe is responsible for certain functions. A brain tumor is a mass of abnormal cells that is growing in or around the brain. It develops when abnormal cells multiply for unknown reasons. Benign and malignant are terms used to describe brain tumors. Benign brain tumors are usually slow growing and have distinct borders and a normal appearance under a microscope. Malignant tumors are considered brain cancer. They tend to invade healthy...

...Architecture Roman Batterberry Arts/100 January 22, 2013 Lisa Turner Architecture The Daniels & Fisher Tower in Denver, Colorado is 5 Elements of Architecture The Daniels & Fisher Tower uses five of the ten elements of architecture to create quite a notable building. These five elements are expressed in the buildings materials, the architect’s use of lines and repetition, how the building balances astatically, and the tower’s scale. Material This tower is constructed on top of a 24 foot thick concrete base. The tower is erected by a steel skeleton and is faced with “blond brick and creamy terra-cotta”. This healthy base and firm skeleton contribute to the firmness of this building. The four faces of the tower have Seth Thomas clocks, all with arms measuring six feet long. There is, finally, a 2.5 ton bell in the top two stories of the tower. Line As with any tower, the majority of the lines draw the audience’s eyes up from the bottom to the top. The majority of the tower’s lines are vertical, with a subtle horizontal contrast from the lines of windows on the faces. Just below the clock, the architect constructed a prominate horizontal line. This horizontal line appears due to an observation deck like platform. This floor only stops the vertical sides of the building for only 2 or 3 stories before another horizontal line. These two parallel horizontal lines create a box-like shape that dramatically stopping the eye’s move upward to draw attention...

...Attending the Greater Atlanta CNS meetings helps me broaden my knowledge of the latest innovations in the healthcare industry and how I as a CNS can use these innovations to help improve patient outcomes. At the Greater Atlanta area February CNS meeting, I learned that APRNs need to make themselves more visible to the legislators and community to protect the title of APRN. To do so, APRNs need to network with groups like the Women’s Legislative Caucus group that are highly influential in driving legislative changes. I can make APRNs more visible in the community by talking to patients that I take care of every day. I can clarify my roles and responsibility as an APRN. This would help patients recognize the value of an APRN which will increase...

Throughout history, progression and advancement in technology has fundamentally separated us from our evolutionary antecedents, enabling a life of greater comfort, extravagance and an increased ability to procreate and sustain ourselves. This improvement is especially apparent in the world of architecture and civil engineering, where there has been an unremitting ambition to surpass the existing boundaries, particularly with regards to height. The most renowned early example of a structure where height was key are the Pyramids of Giza where elevation was crucial in order to radiate power and divine authority. The tallest pyramid, standing at 146.5m, was built more than 4500 years ago, and remained the tallest manmade structure for the next 3800 years, until the 1300s when Lincoln Cathedral was built topping it by only 13.5m [1][2]...

...I love the C.N. Tower. One reason is I am from Toronto, and I have been up it about twenty times, although it is still fun every time. I find it very cool that this famous tower is in the same city as I was born in, also it is amazing that I can go so high and see so far across my home town. Almost all of my families have been up the tower, and I find that cool because I can talk about it with them when I see them. Every time I go back to Toronto, I always have the C.N. Tower in mind. Every time I fly into Toronto and I can see what was once the world’s tallest tower, looming over the clouds, on top of the world, like it is welcoming me back, that makes me feel at home. And the day when I get to go up the tower is a remarkable experience....

...The main reason The Burj Dubai tower works and allows its occupants to be comfortable lies in its structural design to deal with the main problems such as the wind load, the physical strength of the building and of course the elevator design needed for such a large structure. The Burj Dubai, situated in Dubai, will soon be the tallest building in the world, bypassing the previous record holder, the Taipei 101 by almost 290 metres giving it an astonishing 800 metre height. With over 2700 feet, designing and constructing such a vast building has given significant challenges to engineers and designers alike. Since the building can hold up to 35,000 people at once, it is essential that it is strong, comfortable and able to move people up and down it at a steady rate. This essay will explore how the designers and engineers went about solving these issues. One of the key problems the engineers had to overcome was effect of the wind load and how it would affect the building motions due to the extraordinary height of the tower. Wind load is something that must be taken into account for all buildings, but obviously the wind velocity increases the higher you go and since the structure is over 800 metres tall, there is guaranteed to be a large wind force acting on the building. Three different engineering firms: Skidmore, Owings and Merrill who were all working on the project, hired the RWDI (Rowan Williams Davies & Irwin Inc.) a wind and environmental engineering firm to conduct wind studies...

...Seven Wonders of 21st Century Architecture You may not be able to name them all, but most people have at least heard of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World. Here’s a list with links: Great Pyramid of Giza, Hanging Gardens of Babylon, Temple of Artemis, Statue of Zeus at Olympia, Mausoleum of Halicarnassus, Colossus of Rhodes, and the Lighthouse of Alexandria . Of the seven, only the Pyramid remains, the rest we know of only through historic documents.[1] There have been other “7 Wonders” lists and in 2007, the Swiss government sponsored a project to create a new list, with selections made by popular vote. Over 100 million votes were cast, and the new 7 Wonders were announced as follows: Chichen Itza (the Yucatan, Mexico pyramid), Christ the Redeemer (Brazil’s enormous statue of Jesus), Colosseum (Rome’s arena of Gladiators),Great Wall of China (you can see it from space!),Machu Picchu (ancient city built on an unbelievably high mountain top in Peru),Petra (Jordan’s city cut directly into the side of a stone mountain ),and the Taj Mahal (India’s majestic temple/mausoleum).[2] But my final Cyber Journey of the semester started not as a stroll through history, but as a trip into the future of arts and Architecture with a look at another “7 Wonders” list – The 7 New Wonders of the 21st Century [3], as selected by Architecture, an online review published by the website Quazen.

...Paraphrasing What is Paraphrasing? 1 Text Plagiarism Video # 1. Text Plagiarism Video #2. 2 Paraphrase Paraphrase: A paraphrase is an important part of writing a paper. Simply put the paraphrase is when you read another authors work and put it into your own words. It is also considered paraphrasing when you use statistics and research from another source. This is the most common citation in a paper. Proper paraphrasing is an art. This does not mean changing a few words around. It means taking the authors ideas, summarizing them into your own words and then using them. Of course you must cite every paraphrase with an in line citation. Paraphrases are mostly used to summarize paragraphs and main themes. Paraphrases are also used to cite statistics and other information. YOU DO NOT USE QUOTATION MARKS WHEN PARAPHRASING. Remember 3 Examples of Paraphrasing Here is a sample paraphrase: Paraphrase: How much higher skyscrapers of the future will rise than worlds tallest building, the Sears Tower, is unknown. The design of one twice as tall is already on the boards, and an architect, Robert Sobel, thinks we currently have sufficient know-how to build a skyscraper with over 500 stories (Bachman 15). Note the following. The writer never uses the exact words of the author therefore there is no need to use quotation marks. The writer summarizes, uses his or her own words and then cites the source at the end. Sometimes a paraphrase will be large and must be broken up. A good rule...

...and as an investment prospect. Mind Your Business used both primary and secondary research using publically available sources, with no contact with CN, its employees, or financial analysts, to complete this analysis. CN is a public company with 22,000 employees, and has the longest railway system in North America. Industry circles consider CN an increasingly profitable business. The Canadian Transportation Safety Board ensures CN abides by all laws and regulations. CN continually improves safety and environmental impact, which leads to better profits in the long run, particularly now that pipelines are becoming politically toxic in the eyes of the public. Recent environmental catastrophes such as the BP oil spill and the recent train explosion in Quebec, means CN must be careful with the public’s recent sensitivity to these types of environmental incidents that affect communities and their members. The company focuses highly on corporate social responsibility, with environment, education, health & safety, and community as a top concern. Rail emits less greenhouse gas emissions than heavy trucks, and CN also funds sustainability programs.

...A. General Comments I conducted my observation at the CSUN Child and Family Studies Center on April 13, 2018 from 2:40 until 4:50 PM. When I arrived for the observation, the children were playing outside in several different areas. There were approximately 50 students between the ages of about 3 or 4 with about 8-10 teachers. There were a lot of children because it was their outdoor play time for two other classes. I spent time sitting by the sandbox, climbing structure, and swings. They were outside for about an hour before the classes split up for their own activities. I then observed a classroom setting for an hour with 4 teachers and about 10-12 children. There is a room with a one way window in which I can see the children and teachers but they cannot see me. I was in the private room for about an hour before children started leaving so I ended my observation. B. Physical Development During the outdoor observation, I felt a little stressed because I did not notice any children with developmental disabilities. I noticed a lot of children that appeared to developing typically. For example, I observed children playing in the sand box, practicing their fine motor skills. They shoveled sand into buckets, shaped sand into shapes and homes, and played with the sand in their fingers. With the same group of children playing with sand, there was a child who watched but showed no interest in the idea of playing with sand. While continuing to observe the child, I did notice that they...
