Case Study Hastings Point

1. A small family was traveling in its van and had a minor accident. The children in the back seats were wearing lap belts, but still sustained numerous bruises about the abdomen, and had some internal organ injuries. Why is this area more vulnerable to damage than others? Name specific organs that would be injured, as well as the abdominopelvic quadrant and region in which they are found. What injuries might you suspect in the damaged organs?

In order to help save the Bay some changes need to be made, human activity must change, the Bays health needs to become a higher priority and the steps that could be taken to restore the health of the Bay need to be discussed.

Hastings was chosen as an area to investigate coastal management because they had three types of hard and soft engineering. Secondly, it has a tourist industry that can be investigated. Thirdly, it has Shoreline Management Plan so the plan can be evaluated. Lastly, it Ties in with tourism and coastal parts of GCSE syllabus that are familiar and understood

On the 14th of March 2011, year 10 went to Cronulla Beach to investigate how people use and interact with the coastal environment. We investigated three main things and they were:

Earth’s vegetation and animal life are all part of an intricate “web” of essential relations in which both cannot survive without the other. According to Campbell’s Biology textbook, The transfer of food energy up the trophic levels is referred to as a food chain. This chain usually begins with plants, (primary producers), then herbivores, (primary consumers), to carnivores (secondary, tertiary and quaternary consumers), and finally decomposers. When one part of the chain is low in population, the species above it are likely to be negatively affected and will likely drop in population as well. In order to show how delicate this web is, and how human activity has affected this system, Carson describes a small food chain in which sagebrush

Leopold’s land pyramid describes the hierarchical dynamics of the biotic community. Based upon what we learned in class, a biotic community is the relationship between soil and animals. It is a sum of all the parts within the community. The pyramid represents layers within the biotic community. The bottom layer is the soil. A plant layer rests upon the soil layer, an insect layer lies atop the plants, a bird and rodent layer rests upon the insects. The pyramid works its way up the various animal groups until it finally comes to the peak layer, which consists of the lager carnivorous animals. Leopold places humans in the top layer.

Blue Island enjoys a unique position in the south suburbs, possessing uncommon assets and considerable potential for future investment and growth. The city has a mayor council form of government. I met with Mayor Domingo Vargas and Alderman Nancy Rita to gain insight regarding issues and opportunities. Geographically, Blue Island is located just outside the City of Chicago’s corporate limits and forms part of the south suburban area. I asked both interviewees their views on the proximity of location to the City of Chicago, and what strengths and challenges come from sharing a border. Mayor Vargas believes that from a regional perspective, Blue Island is strategically positioned at the heart of the region’s transportation infrastructure. The network of roadways, rail lines, and waterways connecting Blue Island to the greater Chicago region is a unique strength that also presents some unique challenges. Alderman Nancy Rita expressed similar views regarding the location of the city. She mentioned that because Blue Island is so close to the city of Chicago, Blue Island is able to position it’s housing to individuals who may work Downtown Chicago but would prefer to live in a suburb. Blue has six Metra stations that connects it to the City of Chicago

Throughout the last couple months, spending large amounts of time with your household on Meadow Vale, I have selected specific issues that should be addressed about your property and my corresponding recommendations. I have carefully developed these recommendations, in order for your property to flourish in the upcoming years and to overall improve current procedures being undertaken at Meadow vale.

Hasting’s Point is surrounded by farm lands and development areas that result in run-off containing plastic, microbial contaminants from sewerage, sediments, heavy metals, fertilisers (contain phosphorus and nitrate), pesticides, car exhaust, motor oil and gasoline. All of these run-off materials are toxic and can greatly harm all ecosystems. Mangroves, which filter heavy metals, phosphorus and sediments, can have oils smother ‘breathing’ roots and hinder functions. Consequently, the run-off would enter the ocean, harming organisms on the rocky shore and sea. Excess nitrate and phosphorus based chemicals in the ocean exponentially increases the growth of algae and plants, resulting in an algal bloom and eutrophication. Any organism below the algae cannot perform photosynthesis (no sunlight) and suffocate from oxygen depletion due to strained respiration and decomposition of dead plants by bacteria. As such, a whole ecosystem, or ecological niche, can be destroyed, much like 2011’s marine die-off along the Pacific coast [12]. These suffocating organisms can also contribute to ocean acidification for respiration produces CO2 (which reacts with water to produce carbonic acid: (H2CO3)), therefore increasing the acidity of the ocean (alongside excess atmospheric CO2)[13]. Acidic waters at Hasting’s Point, and anywhere else, would corrode an organism’s protective shell (calcium) and pressure species to adapt, or die, to the altered chemistry

This event started with the lack of care and interest to notice nurses of Watsonville Community Hospital complaints. Nurses were well over due with frustration at the way administration was handling safety and care of the patients. Also workers at this location were being mistreated and underpaid. A major concern was the under staffing which can put a company in a damper. Being under staff can cause destruction for a company. This situation could have been settled and the death of the patient could have been prevented. Nurses tried numerous times to get the administration attention about the problems occurring. Roughly, two hundred nurses’ strike out against this hospital; leading to the death of a patient. Community hospital hired a replacement

Coopera suggested having a poster about the credit builder opportunity. Nothing too complicated like “ask us about building your credit” and “come here to build your credit.”

In the past, the booming economy had allowed for year to year increase in their sales because people had larger discretionary incomes. But due to the recession, smaller independent retailers had to markdown their items in order to stay in business because designer outlet stores are getting more traffic; so will Harry Rosen follow in suit? Or in order to maintain the integrity of the quality products they offer, will they continue their higher pricing and settle for a lower market share?

The second step in the process is termed "digesting". Wood chips are cooked at 325 degrees Fahrenheit to

The IRR for this agreement ranges between 11.87% and 13.01%. The return on investment (ROI) for this particular agreement ranges between 52% and 58%. In either case, the numbers range because of provision (c) listed in the case’s Exhibit 1. The “deferred setup fee” fluctuates depending on potential sales of RMT’s assets.

When undergrowth in a forest was burned away, certain plants were more likely to grow back than others, and so humans could cause things such as edible bracken to grow in abundance, providing
