Angelika Baez Summary & Reflection 1. Public Health Issue: Regis College There is an issue with insufficient parking spaces at Regis College. The lack of parking provokes individuals to park illegally. Parking illegal compromises the overall safety of emergency vehicles and pedestrians. Vehicles that are parked on cross-walks or double parked obstructs the path for emergency responders, which may possibly delay response time. The group presentation was informative. The group went deeper…

Food waste and fracking share many of the same economic effects. Food waste amounts to roughly US$ 680 billion in industrialized countries and US$ 310 billion in developing countries. Food losses during harvest and in storage translate into lost income for small farmers and into higher prices for poor consumers. The amount of food lost can adversely affect the small farmers because the amount of produce that each harvest brings, in comparison to the bigger farms, is much smaller. So, every piece…

How many people die each year due to lung cancers? In the United States, approximately 159,260 people die each year due to lung cancer. Compare to any other type of cancer, lung cancer has the most causalities. Many teenagers and adults could not care less about such a disease due to the fact that they know very little about lung cancer. A known fact that people should know about lung cancer is the chance of a woman getting lung cancer is one out 16 people and for a man it is one out of 13…

Primary Types of Cancer Though there are about 200 different types of cancer known today that will affect the human body, the three most common and deadliest types of cancer include: lung, breast cancer, and colon and rectal cancer. Cancer is when there is a change in our genes and it causes the cells to grow and divide more than usual. The human body's normal cell will know when to stop growing and dividing but a cancer cell doesn't which results in it multiplying into a lump, or in other…

Hydraulic fracturing, also know as “fracking” is something you may not have heard of in Canada or Niagara to be precise although in the states this is more popular. Fracking is the process of drilling into the earth before shooting a high pressure water mixture into the hole to crack the rock which releases natural gases for gas companies to collect. This process is very bad for the environment and needs to be looked after. Fracking leads to air pollution, water contamination and seismic…

In 1980, Illinois Fourth District Appellate Court decision (Griffe v. Spanski) Justice Albert G. Webber III wrote: “Township government today is probably the last bastion of pure democracy in an otherwise bureaucratized republic. It is the direct descendant of the idealized state envisioned by the ancient philosophers where every man could speak his piece and be afforded a hearing by his peers. The government may propose action, but is subject to the will of its constituents.” Township…

absolute cure for cancer when ingested. Radium, found in uranium, is actually a rare chemical element of the alkaline earth series on the periodic table that is very harmful to the body in many disturbing ways (thou, ironically it’s now used to produce radon which is actually a gas used to treat some types of cancer). The survivors of the cause and effects…

Radioisotopes are atoms that consist of unstable combination of neutrons and protons. All elements which have their atomic numbers greater than 83 are radioisotopes and have unstable, radioactive nuclei. They have at least one stable isotope and one unstable isotope. In order to gain stable conformation the nucleus of the atoms loses a neutron due to which radiation energy is given off and the atom is said to be in radioactive state. They are also called as radionuclides because they have more…

if you do not smoke your risk increases if you are exposed to second hand smoke (Mayo Clinic 2015). People with a family history of lung cancer have an increased risk of the disease (Mayo Clinic 2015). Other risk factors include, exposure to radon gas, “radon is produced by the natural breakdown of uranium in soil, rock and water that eventually becomes part of the air you breathe” (Mayo Clinic 2015, para 1). Exposure to asbestos, this is a group of minerals made of microscopic fibres. Before…

The widely acclaimed extravagance mark has willingly volunteered teach and rouse shoppers, lifting them from a logo culture just keen on setting up their status to others to an architect culture inspired by the feel, quality and craftsmanship (Radon, 2012; Uproar et al., 2013). By cooperating with Japanese prominent craftsman Takashi Murakami in 2003, Louis Vuitton's fashioner Marc Jacobs made an uncommon restricted release bit of workmanship, the Murakami sack that was propelled in…
