Introduction:
A good thing about St. Clair College is that you never miss a place to sit, there is always a chair nearby. Although this is a good thing many places like classes, libraries, open areas and even laboratories have mobile chairs. In some cases, like laboratories, mobile chairs are convenient but in most areas the mobile chairs have many disadvantages. A simple solution can fix this problem.
Problem:
Most St. Clair College chairs are not secured to the ground. These chairs are a great source of noise since most students drag these chairs to their favourite spots. In other cases, some chairs are damaged because students or visitors lean back on them loosening the chair’s legs forcing the college to purchase new chairs since its student

They can be used on concrete surface without breaking the concrete or interfering with its appearance.
Ground anchor: How does it work?
A ground anchor is a nail that can be drilled on each side of a chair without taking extra space. One nail can be used on each side at alternating positions. Using ground anchors to secure the chairs to the ground eradicates all mentioned problems all together.
Cost:
Purchasing these ground anchors might seem costly but not more than having to replace each broken chair. The average price of a school chair ranges from $25 to $45. For $40.95, 100 concrete anchors can be purchased which is enough to secure 50 chairs to the ground. Comparing these prices, $25 could be saved for each chair that is secured to the ground assuming there would be no other ways these chairs could be damaged (which in a college’s case are minimal) and a penny saved is a penny earned. Home depot carries these types of anchors at the price mentioned above. The good thing about the anchors is that it does not require skilled personnel to secure these chairs, semi-skilled workers can do the job. Considering the college’s total classes and areas with mobile chairs a minimum of 2 weeks will be sufficient for measuring and securing the
The most economical method for ground improvement is aggregate piers. Before aggregate piers were used, engineers had to replace the weak soil with an engineering fill in order to use shallow foundations, but in some cases (load is very high) they had to use deep foundations, which is much more expensive. By using aggregate piers, we can now use shallow foundations in marginal soil without having to replace it. By using compacted aggregate to create stiff pier element, aggregate piers help to increase the bearing capacity, liquefaction resistance, shear strength, rate of consolidation and it reduces settlement.

Ames Room Essay An Ames room is a distorted room that is used to create an optical illusion. It was created by an American ophthalmologist named Adelbert Ames, Jr. in 1934. The same room wasn’t constructed until the following year in 1935. It tricks people into being ordinary cubic shaped, but the true shape of this room is trapezoidal since the walls are slanted and the ceiling and the floor are inclined. As a result of the optical illusion, a figure or person standing in one corner appears to the person looking through the hole of the room( box) to be very big, while the other figure or person standing in the other corner appears to be too little.
“Man is condemned to be free” (Sartre, 1957). Believing in existentialism entails thinking that the universe is chaos and nothing has a destiny. In “Existentialism and Human Emotions”, Sartre believed that men and women are condemned to be free because the choices they make are the only input for their character. Whether a person acts in good or bad faith is entirely up to them, and their choices define them. In the short story “The Guest” there are few characters to outline where on the spectrum of existentialism that one can exist. The main characters in the short story “The Guest” displays many key points from the book “Existentialism and Human Emotions”.

Chair height should be adjusted so your feet are not dangling and can be rested firmly on the floor, or on a footrest; alternatively when standing, weight should be evenly distributed over both feet (HSA, 2014). If chair height cannot be adjusted, a cushion should be added to sit on to obtain desired height in addition to providing lumbar support (Coffin, 2014). There are chairs designed specifically for Diagnostic Medical Sonographers, chairs that are built to suit ergonomic needs and MSI prevention (Sound Ergonomics, 2014).

When Canada created the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, they set it as “supreme law”, meaning that all other laws must follow and abide by the charter. This means that police also need to uphold the Charter. For example, Sections 8-10 and 24 especially have an impact on police. Section 8 says, “Everyone has the right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure” (2018). Police officers perform searches all the time, whether it be after an arrest, enforcing a search warrant, pat downs for officer safety, etc. Police officers need to abide by this law, otherwise any evidence they might have seized can be thrown out of court, or the subject being arrested could be released! The same applies to section 9, where it says that every person in this country cannot be “arbitrarily
