From the Paper
"Needless to say, any career in law enforcement is a challenging one. This is true whether one is a police officer, penitentiary guard or by-law officer. The following paper will briefly look at what is required of candidates and what can be expected from those who wish to become a by-law officer. Additionally, some brief mention will be made of an anticipated future employer along with a brief review of the student's own progress towards fulfilling a long-time dream. To begin with, by-law officers (just like their colleagues with the municipal fire department) are responsible, as the name indicates, for upholding municipal codes and by-laws ("Bylaw 160 - bylaw officer responsibilities" 2000, subsec.2).

Abstract
The paper defines what smog is and explains that it is often found in large urban areas. The writer breaks down and explains the chemical components of smog and its effects on health and the environment. The paper summarizes the Ontario Smog Plan and discusses whether it will work to reduce smog significantly. The writer suggests some tips that citizens can follow in order to contribute to the goals of the Ontario Plan. In conclusion, the writer states that, although not perfect, the plan is a step in the right direction and that hopefully, with community participation and clever fine-tuning, the Canadian city's plan will become a model for future environmental efforts around the world.

From the Paper
"Human Health Effects. Research in the US and Canada has repeatedly documented a strong correlation between high ozone levels and rates of hospitalization and worker absenteeism. Ontario studies have shown that in the months May to August, approximately five per cent of daily respiratory hospital admissions are associated with ozone. Other findings have shown hospital admissions linked to ozone occurring at levels well below the current national air quality objective of 82 ppb, with the probability and severity of health effects increasing with increasing exposure. Furthermore, it appears that there is no human health threshold for ozone, that is, there is no level that can be deemed safe. Populations more sensitive to ozone exposure include young children, the elderly, people with respiratory problems, and people active outdoors, particularly in the summer.
Impacts on human health related to high ozone levels are summarized below:
? respiratory system:
? lung functioning (coughing, shortness of breath, pain on inspiration, throat irritation, wheezing, chest tightness);
? chronic and acute bronchitis, asthma; and
? pulmonary emphysema;
? possible interference with the immune system; and
? headaches, burning eyes, irritated sinuses."

Conclusion

From the Paper
"In order to sustain the sports funding models required to ensure that its mission is achieved, the COC routinely engages in joint ventures with partners in the industry. These joint ventures have seen the development of affiliates such as the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games (VANOC), Podium 2010, and Calgary Olympic Development Association (CODA). Additionally, the COC has established strategic alliances with others in the sports communities in order to gain the support and sponsorship needed for the development of its ongoing projects. One such project is the upgrading of its website that includes many new features and links to some of its partners."

Abstract
Historically, physicians have told nurses what to do and what not to do. Currently, legislators have that power. This paper discusses the lengthy legislative process and the dynamics of it. House Bill 935 was originally introduced in 1991 as Article 1 Chapter 21 in the Georgia Senate as Code Section 16-13-21. Representative Sue Burmeister is now sponsoring HB 935 to give new wording and annotation to the bill. The paper shows that the new legislation would allow advanced practice registered nurses to execute a verbal, written or electronic order for a drug, device, medical treatment or diagnostic study. Currently, nurse practitioners can phone in prescriptions in consultation with a physician.

From the Paper
"Most U.S. Citizens believe that physicians have always had the main authority to prescribe medications. However, when researching the background of prescribing drugs it is evident this is not true. Physicians carry a sense of ownership pertaining to prescriptive authority. History is evidence that authority to prescribe has not always solely been the responsibility physician. The market physicians have today on prescribing medications came about without little or no resistance even though others are fully capable of this practice.(Ryser, 1999)."
