The key ambition of West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority is making its area of operation safer by facilitating efficient, safety measures. The authority responds to fire fighting, floods, traffic accidents, incidents such as lift trapping and those involving hazardous materials such as petroleum, gas, and electricity. The authority conducts education on matters relating to fires such as prevention and control to youth groups and schools. It also performs emergency planning, fire safety inspections, and first aid to fire victims. Firefighters and officers frequently visit commercial and residential premises to advice on fire prevention and hazard risk assessment. The central office of West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority coordinates fire prevention tasks in accordance with legislation and support from specialist officers. This paper gives details of the legislation and standards that apply to West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Authority as a requirement of the Fire and Rescue Services Act of 2004, Fire and Rescue National Framework, and the Regulatory Reform Order of 2005. It also gives an explanation on how the International Organization for Standardization models can be integrated in the authority. In the current economic conditions, public services are experiencing real challenges in supplying efficient and effective services. For purposes of quality assurance, there are several legislative requirements and standards that apply to the authority based on the Fire and Rescue Services Act of 2004. According to the Act, it is the mandate of the fire and rescue authority to make provision with the intention of promoting fire safety in its respective area. In doing so, the authority ought to provide information to the public on the steps that people should take to prevent injury or death by fire. In addition, it is the duty of the authority to give advice to the society on how to prevent fires and curb their spread in both private and public premises and ways to get away from buildings and other surroundings in case of fire (The National Archives 2004). The Fire and Rescue National Framework requires for fire and rescue authorities to carry out the task in cooperation with their communities and other partners locally and nationally to deliver their services (Department for Communities and Local Government 2012, p. 7). In connection with this, the authority has established a strong partnership arrangement with local communities in regions such as Bradford and Birkenshaw to guarantee service delivery that meets the organization’s statutory duties. The organization is transparent and accountable to the local communities in its decisions and actions to create the opportunity for communities to help plan for their local service through efficient consultation and involvement. According to the Regulatory Reform Fire Safety Order of 2005, an employer must provide appropriate and comprehensible information to employees. The information should include potential risks at the work place and preventive and protective measures (2005, p. 14).
Introduction The present work is devoted to the comparative analysis of two science fiction works written in different periods of time but being unified with common ideas and topics. The first text to be considered is the science fiction novel “When Worlds Collide” written by Philip Wylie and Edwin Balmer that was published in 1933. The second work is also a science fiction one, but it is more of a horror novel that also introduced a new science fiction subgenre – a vampire novel. It is the work “I am Legend” by Richard Matheson that was published in 1954. Main body The first thing necessary to be done concerning the comparison of these two works is to understand their background, the period of time in which they were written. Judging by the year of publication, “When Worlds Collide” was written in the period between the two World Wars that was called the Great Depression. It influenced the world perception and the motives of creative activity in many spheres – the moods were pessimistic, gloomy and fate-oriented; people were considered doomed to failure and extinction. In general the epoch was too frustrating and hopeless for people, so that all these motives were revealed in literature and cinema (the emergence of black noir in the cinema art, the science fiction motives of destruction of the Earth and a global catastrophe awaiting our planet). The second book, “I am Legend”, was written later, in 1954 – the period of steady and firm development of Modernism in its middle up to the late stage. This movement also could not help producing certain influence on the creative activity of the author – the topic of destruction and global catastrophe is also present, but it is presented from another angle. The human being is put to the fore in the author’s considerations, so the nature of the catastrophe is also human-oriented, deeper and personalized. It goes without saying that the main topic to be explored in the course of comparison is the impact of science on human life and its part in the overall course of events described. Both authors build up their plot on the achievements of science, be it the spacecraft people use to escape from the doomed planet or the laboratory in which Neville is exploring the possible causes of the disease. However, they both treat science in a different way – it is either a distanced, grand assistant of humans desperate to escape to another planet, or the tool to find the truth that will become a clue to curing the planet. In the first book science is detached from the course of events – it is glorified at the same time decreasing the value of human lives. In the second book science is livelier and is actively incorporated in the plot – it is all Neville has, thus becoming his friend and savior. Taking a closer look at the novel “When Worlds Collide” it becomes possible to understand the mood of the book concerning the whole humanity – the period of the Great Depression produced works based on ‘fatum’ – the feeling of the inevitably approaching catastrophe, a deadly event that will disastrously change the lives of all human beings and will r
A legal union of a man and a woman is defined as marriage, and it is the only possible definition of marriage. Defense of marriage act is one of the perspectives that are compatible with the bumper sticker, which keeps away any possible form of marriage such as gay marriage. It aims at discriminating people’s feelings of ethnical and sexual minorities. With emerging socio-cultural trends, the argument that same sex marriage is impossible is no longer valid. It is already legal in some countries. The society should accept that marriage in the modern society is defined mostly in terms of cultural contexts due cultural diversity. New forms of social organizations have emerged and are accepted by members of society. The government policy makers should know that the society no longer define marriage in terms of legal frameworks. Feigen Brenda argues that marriage should be explained in terms of particular social contexts. Definition of Marriage Marriage is the pursuit, acquisition, retention of socio-sexual exclusivity meaning it is the submission of oneself to emotion, and physical attraction to another person on permanent basis Scholars such as Francis Nye argues that marriage is a socially and legally recognized unit consisting of two adults sharing residential space permanently, periodically or occasionally (Rollins 100). Marriage being an institution of society can be viewed as any form of behavior that have become regularized and patterned in society to such an extent that it is considered an automatic or mandatory stage through which each member must pass through. Others consider it as a union formed when members of society decide that there are certain goals and objectives that they need to achieve and can only achieve by coming together in a structured manner. The unions are formed when two or a number of people consciously subscribe to some form of association that helps them to realize the productivity of co-existence. Others view marriage as a group of members living by specific rules and aim at pre-determined goals (Rollins 101). This paper tries to explain how gay marriage relates to the definition. Many societies have come to the reality of accepting that gay marriage is an option of marriage. Many states recognize it and have gone ahead to legalize it Pre-conditions for Defining Marriage Legitimacy The partners in marriage need to register their unions as marriage and children if any must be registered as births or adoption. Marriage does not necessarily mean that members must reproduce children themselves. Instead, they can find them using other means. It then follows that siring of children is not in itself marriage. The authorities should be aware of existence of marriage so that to solve the problems of inheritance in case of uncertainties such as divorce and death of a spouse. The society at which the members are part of must accept and recognize the union. The society focuses on thing like disparity, age and status. An individual of par
It is viable to suggest that every person has the goal in life that is related to the search. Some may seek pleasure or love, others may look for happiness and financial stability, and another group of people may be focused on finding inner stability. Ursula King’s book is about those who explore the world in an attempt to find “knowledge and love of God,” the mystics (King 1). The leitmotiv idea repeated throughout the book is that it is possible for anyone to meet individuals whose hearts have been touched by God in a special way. Although the author offers only a brief overview of each of the mystics’ lives, the book serves as an excellent source of learning about some of the most exciting Christians who are frequently underappreciated. While reading the book, I was especially interested in several ideas. First of all, I became highly fascinated by finding my personal understanding of the word ‘mystic.’ The author gives her definition at the very beginning of the introduction, but still, I tried to make the notion more comprehensible for myself. The concept of someone who “experiences to an extraordinary degree the profoundly personal encounter with the energy of divine life” is rather peculiar (King 1). Hence, I realized that the goal of this definition was to make the reader discern between “ordinary” and “exceptional” believers. I decided to hold that mystics are close to saints due to their unique abilities and self-sacrifice. Another issue in the book that intrigued me was that mystics existed not only in ancient times but also in the previous century. Probably if the author decides to publish a new edition of her book, she will even add some personalities from the twenty-first century. King mentions that Christian mystical experience is “by no means a thing of the past” (109). To prove her point, the author gives numerous examples of mystics who lived quite recently. I enjoyed learning about the way mystics perceived Christianity and how they wanted “to know and to see” God and looked for perfection by living righteous lives King 5). Yet another interesting idea was the inclusion of different directions of religion in the narration. Such an approach helped to emphasize the unanimity of Christianity, be it Eastern Orthodox, Protestant, or Roman Catholic. Probably the most impressive mystic to read about was Swami Abhishiktananda (Henri le Saux). What interested me in this personality was that he was the first French monk to adopt “the dress of sannyasins” (King 118). Le Saux’s faith allowed him to absorb the highest motives of both teachings, which made him the first person to engage in “Hindu-Christian dialogue” (King 118). The experience of this mystic demonstrated that one is not obliged to keep one religion throughout the whole life to be considered a mystic. Instead, the level of one’s righteousness and closeness to the divine is measured by other things, such as the desire to be a better person and devote one’s whole life to serving God. There are many insights in the book that I could us
What do you feel went well in this simulation? Why? The simulation presented in the video was organized quite well, and both the participants were realistic enough (RHIC Simulation Center, 2018). The way of presenting the main characters is important; they both were shown not as ideal characters but as quite natural people with usual intonation and manner of behavior. The medical worker in the video conducted all necessary preparatory procedures, such as initial examination, checking of temperature, pulse, and respiration (RHIC Simulation Center, 2018). Also, the inspection itself was carried out by the nursing ethics. The employee was polite and courteous, she had an open dialogue with the patient and showed interest in the problem. All the data of the survey were recorded in the medical history, which is also the right measure. In addition to the questions directly about the problem, the medical worker asked about other attendant factors that are also essential; they include allergic reactions to certain drugs, a tendency to smoke and drink alcohol, weight, etc. Also, the nurse allowed the visitor to enter, which was also the manifestation of politeness and understanding. When the patient had a vomiting attack, the nurse was nearby and took all necessary measures. Therefore, the simulation went well, and the truthfulness of the procedures is beyond any doubt. Is there anything that you would have done differently? Why? The validity of the nurse’s actions is unlikely to cause mistrust. However, some points could have been done a little differently. For example, when the patient was questioned, additional information could have been found. The data about chronic and hereditary diseases, perhaps, would have been of some clinical use and could have helped in diagnosing. Also, as Dreifuerst (2009) remarks, debriefing after reviewed simulations should be associated directly with the clinical case. If fewer details had been included in the video, it could have been possible to focus on the video in more detail and take into account only the case of the patient rather than other attendant events, such as the visitor’s arrival (RHIC Simulation Center, 2018). Some additional questions arise in the assessment process. For instance, why does an emergency brigade works so slowly? How long does it take to diagnose? Despite these questions, the simulation was performed quite plausibly, and corresponding conclusions can be made based on its results. What have you learned from this simulation that will help in your future practice? This modeling can certainly be of some use in planning further work and practice in any healthcare institution. Interacting with the patient is shown at a sufficiently high level, and, despite some remaining questions, the entire algorithm of the nurse’s actions on the video is quite logical and correct (RHIC Simulation Center, 2018). The inspection procedure can be used as a sample. The example of the medical specialist’s communication with the patient is quite good, and this style can be applied in personal nursing practice. According to Dreifuerst (2009), one of the goals of debriefing is to i
Every person should be entitled to protection and provision by his or her nation. There is no single person brought up as a citizen of this country who can claim that he or she owes nothing to this nation. Just as every adult is nurtured in this country, it would be right if something were given in return to the mother country as a gesture of respect for duty. According to General MacArthur, “Duty, honor and country: Those three things determine what one ought to be, what one can be, and what one will be.” (MacArthur 2). It is impossible to pay back the generosity of the country in equal measure, but a gesture of gratitude can help foster a sense of duty and obligation in every citizen. In this essence, it is appropriate that every young person in the country engages in an activity in service of the nation. Barak Obama said, “We cannot continue to rely only on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives that we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.” (qtd. in Elliot 5). Those were president Obama’s words to American people in July. It is also important to mention that the particular service is only appropriate when the person involved is young. It is easier for anyone to manage such a service when responsibilities are few. This service goes further to increase the labor power of the people in the country. For their civil service, the young citizens will get remuneration and compensation for their constructive contribution to the nation. In that case, it is necessary to serve the nation as a citizen if one has no apparent duty in any other sector of the economy. This call comes rather as an obligation than as a statutory requirement. For many years, some young people have been trying to avoid fulfilling their responsibilities, leaving a few willing individuals to work on their behalf. There are those who work in the civil service as a way of paying the community back. Others are forced to engage in country service for years due to some circumstances rather than their own will. This is particularly true for those youth who have deprived backgrounds. Youth coming from poor families have to work since there is no other support coming from the government or their parents. Others are rich enough not to engage in a service of any kind since they regard it humiliating to serve the nation. This kind of attitude is detrimental to the development of our society. Therefore, we must instill a sense of duty and obligation in every young citizen of this country. This policy could be a better solution to problems affecting many youths in this country. Currently, this country is
The fascination with yoga has been growing in the western world for decades. However, few people, even among those who practice the western version of yoga, are aware of its true origins and meaning. While many perceive yoga solely as a set of exercises with complicated balance poses, the documentary “Origins of Yoga: Quest for the Spiritual” is focused on the exploration of what yoga is in India and what kind of people practice it. The film under discussion was made in 2005 and is dedicated to the research of the true yoga practice that takes place in India. In the film, it is noted that people who decided to devote their lives to the practice of yoga would leave their homes, “abandon the conventional life” and the “householder stage” to “wander around in the mountains and in the forest” ( Origins of Yoga: Quest for the Spiritual ). According to this documentary, yogis dedicate their lives to the search for oneness with taking full responsibility for the entirety of human nature including its spiritual aspects and dimensions. In that way, yoga represents a “sacred science about inner self” ( Origins of Yoga: Quest for the Spiritual ). The journey of a yogi never ends, as the link with the divine needs to be maintained by keeping pure and staying away from temptation. Movement is one of the essential elements of the journey of a yogi because it prevents attachment and habits. An illustration of this idea, the narrator of the film states that “the river keeps clean by flowing” ( Origins of Yoga: Quest for the Spiritual ). In other words, yogis always have to be on the go in order to stay clean and detached from material values. The human habit of acquisition of things and the creation of conditions of comfort is what yogis reject. In their pursuit of spiritual life, they must let go of things that are not related to spirituality and represent materiality. Alongside material goods, yogis must also give up conventional preconceptions about themselves and the world around them. This is believed to be the way to gain control of one’s mind, which is the main goal of a yogi. The makers of this documentary explored the motivation of various yogis of India that led them to drop out of the society and embrace the path of loners always roaming around from place to place and spending hours in meditation. One of the yogis interviewed fr
