Published 2010. All rights reserved. Introduction It is clear that developers, designers and the community are increasingly valuing the aesthetic and environmental potential of water features–structures such as lakes, ponds and fountains–which are becoming increasingly common in new developments and urban renewal projects. At the same time, walking and cycling paths are also being provided to take advantage of the recreational opportunities presented by natural water courses throughout our suburbs. These features add to the vibrancy of our community, but they also present an element of danger, particularly for children. At the time of drafting this document there were no Australian guidelines or other reference documents dealing with safety issues associated with these features...

...Pierce County, WA Community Assessment Western Governors University Pierce County, WA Community Assessment Community Description and Data Interpretation Pierce County is situated in the central west of Washington State. The county is divided by Puget Sound, with the majority of the land to the east of the major waterway. There are several small islands included in the county that are located near the southern edge of the Sound. At the county’s eastern border, the beginnings of foothills lead to the actively volcanic Mount Rainier’s summit. Many parts of the county today are built upon the deposits of lahar from past eruptions. The geography of Pierce county ranges from a rocky shore to a lush, national forest with many lakes, rivers, and creeks in between. Overall, the county has 1794 square miles of land and 118 square miles of water, not including Puget Sound (Pierce County Department Of Emergency Management, 2010). Pierce County became well known in the late nineteen hundreds when the city of Tacoma became the western terminus of the Northern Pacific Railroad – the first transcontinental railroad in the north. The introduction of this railroad led to an increase in shipping and manufacturing in the area. At the time, lumber, shipping, farming, and coal mining powered Pierce’s economy. With the exception of mining, all these industries are still present today, though industrialization has made them less prominent than in the past (Pierce County Department...

...The legalization of marijuana has been a common, debatable topic for a very long time. Marijuana has been thought to be a risky drug, leading to criminal conduct and personal corruption. Fortunately, opinions have changed because there is no scientific proof that marijuana has little to no lifelong, effects. States like Colorado and Washington have already legalized the use of recreational Marijuana. Marijuana has many incredible recreational benefits such as increasing tax revenue, improving quality and safety control on Marijuana and putting a Stop to the Blackmarket. At the point when a man purchases weed off the road, there's no real way to know precisely what hazardous substances are cut into the medication. While current legalization endeavors don't specifically address security issues, they do make a structure for a wellbeing control framework, which would work to wipe out a portion of the hazard that originates from smoking a substance possibly bound with poisonous fixings. Since pot stays unlawful, there are no systems for its generation to be checked, its intensity and quality to be institutionalized and tried, or its marking for potential wellbeing impacts before being sold. Research has demonstrated that...

...not even exist. However, the cost of fires which get out of control is high. Human interest in fire safety probably dated back from the discovery and employment of fire. Primitive man used heat for cooking, warming and lighting his dwelling with the inherent risk that misuse or accident in his control of fuel might precipitate disaster. The obvious benefits of numerous friendly uses of heat energy are often overshadowed by the enormous destructive power of fires. Today, as in primitive society, that risk has not been eliminated despite the apparent sophistication of modern living. With the development of habitations, attitudes towards fire safety have also developed. There is continuous interest in understanding the causes of such perils and in devising means of their elimination or reduction. Fire and the effects of fire on escape possibilities constitute the type of danger involved in response in the event of fire. (Drysdale, 1985). The total property loss of fire incident in 2009 and 2010 was 305,89,72,104 tk and 532,11,18,531 tk accordingly; where injured were 156 persons and 78 persons; death were 167 persons and 189 persons accordingly. This furious scenario represents the vulnerability of fire danger and our helplessness. In 2009 the fire hazard caused total property loss of 56,47,37,394 tk, injury of 20 persons and death of 17 persons, where in 2010 the fire hazard caused total property loss of 110,66,37,145 tk, injury of 42 persons and death of 60 persons in high rise...

...Employment At-Will Bill Williams Strayer University LEG /500 May 5, 2015 Prof. Robert Poydasheff This chapter begins with perspectives on work-related risks—both the avoidable and the unavoidable. The legal backdrop includes the watershed Occupational Health and Safety Act of 1970, embodying a national policy to reduce or prevent occupational harms, and laws designed to compensate those who suffer them. In the final section we explore the twenty-first-century global dimensions of workplace health and safety. Throughout, we pay particular attention those who are most vulnerable. Confronting Risk in the Work Environment: The WTC Cleanup In November 2004, an Army National Guard medic filed a class action against the Environ- mental Protection Agency (EPA), the White House Council on Environmental Quality, and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) on behalf of all those who worked in the immediate vicinity of the World Trade Center from September 11, 2001 to October 31, 2001. The court must decide if those allegations are enough to allow plaintiffs to move to the next step—a trial. The collapse of the World Trade Center towers on [September 11, 2001] generated a cloud of debris that coated the surrounding buildings and streets of Lower Manhattan with concrete dust, asbestos, lead, and other building materials. Fires within the wreck- age burned for months, emitting various metals and particulate matter in addition to such potentially harmful substances...

...systems for goods and people, as well as control of the environment for the maintenance and improvement of the quality of life. Civil engineering includes planning and design professionals in both the public and private sectors, contractors, builders, educators, and researchers. The civil engineer holds the safety, health, and welfare of the public paramount. Civil engineering projects and systems should conform to governmental regulations and statutes; should be built economically to function properly with a minimum of maintenance and repair while withstanding anticipated usage and weather; and should conserve energy and allow hazard-free construction while providing healthful, safe, and environmentally sound utilization by society. Civil engineers play a major role in developing workable solutions to construct, renovate, repair, maintain, and upgrade infrastructure. The infrastructure includes roads, mass transit, railroads, bridges, airports, storage buildings, terminals, communication and control towers, water supply and treatment systems, storm water control systems, wastewater collection, treatment and disposal systems, as well as living and working areas, recreational buildings, and ancillary structures for civil and civic needs. Without a well-maintained and functioning infrastructure, the urban area cannot stay healthy, grow, and prosper. Because the desired objectives are so broad and encompass an orderly progression of interrelated components and information to arrive...

...terrorism and other hazards (DHS, 2015). To achieve this vision there are three key concepts that creates the foundation of our national homeland security strategy. They are security, resilience, and customs and exchange (DHS, 2015). These key concepts drive wide-ranging areas of action that the Quadrennial Homeland Security Review process describes as homeland security missions. These missions are not restricted to the Department of Homeland Security. These objectives and goals says what it means to prevent, to protect, to respond, and to recover. They also shows how build in security, to ensure resilience, and to facilitate customs and exchange (DHS, 2015). There are thousands of people from across the all over the country who are responsible for executing these missions. These are the people who interact with the public, are responsible for security and public safety, operate our country’s critical services and infrastructures, develop technology, perform research, watch, prepare for, and respond to emerging disasters and threats (DHS, 2015). The five homeland security core missions are to prevent terrorism and enhancing security; secure and manage our borders; enforce and administer our immigration laws; safeguard and secure cyberspace; ensure resilience to disasters; and focus on maturing and strengthening the homeland security enterprise (DHS, 2015). The responsibilities of the Department of Homeland Security is to ensure the security and safety of the United States...

...long term morale. At what point does a happy, seemingly productive workplace lock horns with the issues of safety, absenteeism, poor work performance and the potential of systematic lenience towards criminal activity that can go alongside drug and alcohol abusers in the company’s midst? This is a touchy subject primarily affecting those amongst a company who are most likely to pass it. Employees find comfort in being trusted by their employers. There is an intrinsic satisfaction that comes from feeling valued, accepted and trustworthy by one’s superiors. Given the reputation of drug screenings, many employees will have heard horror stories of jobs lost when employees tested false positive for bona fide prescription drugs or even cough medicine. Further, it has been argued that routine abusers have found ways and will continue to find ways to cheat the system. Combatting that, some employers have implemented “watchers” who stand and watch the employee urinate in the cup. (Staff, 2010) Certainly, most corporations have a right to do many things with impunity, as most Constitutional safeguards only apply to government employees. The options for delving into employees lives are generally limitless, and without even having to build a case, a corporation can require a vista of disclosure from its employees without fear of retribution. As a result, citing safety, productivity and legal...

...Economic and Global Health Economic growth and the financial prosperity of a nation are proven to have a positive effect on population health. The causative paths that lead from increased wealth to improvements in health are well understood and broadly recognised. Populations with greater economic opportunities tend to have ready access to quality healthcare, less exposure to environmental hazards, better access to clean water, and improved opportunities to develop better preventative behaviour patterns. While being richer does lead to health improvements, it is also true that there is a causative relationship in the other direction too. Health improvements lead to increased wealth and poverty reduction in four ways: Firstly, healthier populations are more economically productive; secondly, proactive healthcare leads to decrease in many of the additive healthcare costs associated with lack of care (treating opportunistic infections in the case of HIV for example); thirdly, improved health represents a real economic and developmental outcome in-and-of itself and finally, healthcare spending capitalises on the Keynesian 'economic multiplier' effect. Industry and Global Health The global healthcare industry in the future will be a highly connected environment powered by large data networks, cloud computing, and mobile devices. There will be widespread increases in the number of connected healthcare networks providing seamless integration between care providers, patients...

...ENTRY # 1 ENTRY#2 ENTRY#3 ENTRY#4 ENTRY#5 ENTRY#6 ENTRY#7 ENTRY#8 ENTRY#9 ENTRY#10 TYPES OF BUSINESS LETTER Editorial(ENTERTAINMENT): Animal welfare can no longer be overlooked 5:29 AM Saturday Nov 24, 2012 Accelerating pace of change in popular attitudes demands that film and other industries take heed of prevailing sentiment. The reaction of Sir Peter Jackson to claims by animal wranglers that animals died during shooting of the Hobbit spoke volumes of his awareness and sensitivity to the new environment. Photo / Supplied The disclaimer "no animal was harmed in the making of this film" has become a standard phrase of popular culture. So accustomed are we to seeing it among films' closing credits, and so material has it become, that it is startling to realise it is a recent innovation. Just over three decades ago, Hollywood was casually ignoring any concerns about animal cruelty in major movies such as Apocalypse Now and Heaven's Gate. In Apocalypse Now, a water buffalo was slaughtered with a machete, and Michael Cimino's flop western included chickens dying in staged cockfights. Such instances were not particularly unusual in the history of film-making. Perhaps 100 horses were, for example, killed during the making of the original Ben Hur in 1926. Customarily, this was justified on the grounds of artistic merit. But the outcry that greeted Heaven's Gate indicated this excuse would no longer suffice in a society increasingly opposed to animal maltreatment...

...PHILOSOPHY PAPER ON NURSING By: GITA GURAGAIN SUBMITTED TO: MICHELLE JACKSONVILLE UNIVERSITY CONTENT INTRODUCTION---------------------------------------- 1-2 INDIVIDUALS-------------------------------------------- 2 HEALTH CARE ENVIRONMENT------------------ 3 HEALTH & ILLNESS---------------------------------- 4-5 NURSING-------------------------------------------------- 5 CONCLUSION------------------------------------------- 6 REFERENCES------------------------------------------- 7 INTRODUCTION: Nursing is a discipline and a profession. As a profession, nursing is committed to assisting individuals in the performance of activities that contribute to their health. As a discipline, nursing supports the belief that there is a dynamic interrelationship between the individual and the environment (Meleis, et al. 2000). Nursing should be practiced recognizing the physiological, psychological, sociocultural, development and spiritual variables of the patient (Baranowski, Perry , & Parcel, 1997) . This nursing philosophy is based on Neuman System Model, Science of Unitary Beings and Social Cognitive Theory. Nursing is one of the external resources available to the person (Baranowski, Perry, & Parcel, 1997). Nurses use knowledge and skill in working with people to promote, maintain, and restore the balance between the person and the environment, and when necessary, to support a dignified...
