Termites inside houses are dreaded by the people living there. People often fear that their house will be taken over by millions of termites that can alter the infrastructure of the building no matter what the severity of what is done. The relentlessness of termites causes for altercations and can destroy the house. But termites do not grow strong on their own, they require a source, a victim, and help from other factors. Like termites, ISIS has come into Syria and Iraq and acted in ways that…

“We got one.” Those words rang in Frank Maher’s ears as his truck pulled out of the fire station. The thick, black smoke could be seen from the instant they pulled out of the station. His group, consisting of 3 firefighters instead of the usual 4, was going to be the first at the scene, where someone had reported a fire at an apartment complex. Having served as a firefighter for 34 years, Frank never stopped wanting to make a difference. Growing up, he had always admired firefighters, and…

After graduating from Ryerson Institute of Technology, at age of twenty-one, Isadore Sharp went immediately into construction with his father. After a few years of working for his father and earning his trust, Sharps’ father decided to step back and let his son take over the construction company which he renamed Max Sharp& Son. Sharp said that his approach in dealing with people was based upon his early upbringing (Sharp 412). His parents were always stressing the importance of treating people…

Fire Departments across the nation occupy a precarious financial position; their budgets rise and fall as the local tax base expands or contracts. At the same time, local citizens demand, at a minimum, that the fire department provide the same level of service from year to year. Not only does this stress day-to-day operations, it also makes it nearly impossible to meet regulatory requirements or forecast long term capital purchases. Executive Fire Officers are forced to find creative solutions…

with the prevention of forest fires, and before Smokey Bear came and changed their ways? Since it was a sensible mascot, large enough to attract attention with its size, the Ad Council and everyone who were involved in the campaign thought that using a bear to represent the fire prevention campaign would be the best idea, rather than using an animal without the qualities that the bear had. “A large animal would be the best, one that could stand upright, fight forest fires, and be humanized”…

The fire service is all about serving the community. We respond to calls in the community where people have taken risk, whether it was intentional or not. Taking risk is part of the job and it is important to take these risk with all the necessary safety precautions and training in place. There are two key agencies which influence fire department training; Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Nation Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Unlike NFPA which issues guidelines,…

Steel is recyclable and waste free material. That means that the contribution to the total amount of construction waste is small and this little waste generated can be recycled. In addition, the safety that steel frames provide due its higher fire resistance is one reason for the increase of its use in house constructions. Another advantage is the longer durability of steel frames compared to wood frames. The tendency of the building industry is to replace the use of wood each time more. The…

recommended different strategies for sustainable structures to exploit natural resources more efficiently and moderate the environmental impact of on-site construction. This research presents a creative, sustainable construction approach through an assembly system for eco-friendly materials. Wood is a natural material that is vastly available and easily reproduced in temperate climate zones. Wooden structures offer the opportunity to provide sustainable building through their eco-friendly…

Adoption of prefabricated system reduces the labour costs and materials costs, thus the overall costs of construction is decreased. Prefabricated components are produced in factory where several panels or elements are produced daily, thus economies of scale can take advantage. For…

It is rarely used as a standalone form of therapy (Priso 95). This technique involves applying suction cups over soft tissue (Markowski,). Variations of this technique are using an air pump to suck the air out of the cup or the use of fire by lighting a cotton ball soaked in rubbing alcohol in the glass cup to heat it up and create suction when place on the body. The cups remain on the body for approximately 3-5 minutes before being removed. The darker the bruising left behind the more…
