Road transport involves movement of these hazardous chemicals from one point to another, using different vehicles that use roads as their medium. Its biggest advantage can be attributed to the fact that it has high flexibility in transportation of hazardous solids as compared to rail transport (Monczka et al
Transportation of Hazardous Chemicals Institution of Learning Course Code / Title Hazardous chemicals can be defined as any chemical that causes health or physical effects when exposed to humans. Due to the negative effects of these chemicals on man, these chemicals should be transported safely to minimize their contact with humans (Office of Technology Assessment, n
There are some disadvantages however, of transportation of these chemicals through pipelines. Leakages in the pipelines can sometimes cause great pollution to soil and water (Raven, 2011)
In the event of fire, small leaks can cause great destructions in form of life loss and destruction of property. Too much carbon dioxide emissions, from these pipes into the atmosphere cause pollution of air bringing adverse effects on human, animal and plant health (Smith & Petley, 2009)
This mode of transport has some disadvantages though. One of the greatest challenges is its inflexibility as its routes and timings are fixed and cannot be adjusted to fit individual requirements (Sollish & Semanik, 2011)
Distribution Centers: The Relevance of a Good Transportation System Distribution centers, in basic terms, "are special forms of warehouses that focus on throughput where products from various manufacturers are combined into shipments of precise quantities for distribution according to customer needs" (Wang and Adams, 2010)
"Continual efforts by IATA ensure that people, freight, and mail can move around the vast global airline network as easily as if they were on a single airline in a single country." (Senguttuvan 182) IATA basically provides an environment where companies can still compete and yet makes it possible for this respective environment to have a type of unity influencing customers to feel that they have access to a more general type of service
Because of this negative stigma, and because traditional images of sports are largely perceived as incompatible with traditional roles for women, female athletes are likely to be discouraged from participating in sports activities in colleges and universities, due to numerous factors, including gender conflict and discrimination. For many years, women have played sports for various reasons, including the simple reason that they enjoyed the pleasures and challenges of athletics (Cahn, 1999)
The 1972 legislation, one of 13 amendments to the Civil Rights Act of 1964, launched revolution in the way that federally funded schools treat women in athletic programs. It simply states (Funk, 2002): "No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance
Women's Sports Women's participation in college sports has increased significantly since Title IX was passed in 1972, but research fails to show that female athletes get the status, respect and approval that athletic participation brings to males (Royce, Gebelt and Duff, 2001)
Almost everyone -- except perhaps for the cut players -- would say that's fair. But what happens when a university cuts an entire team of male players to make room for women? Is that fair?" This is a popular question in athletics departments as they try to comply with Title IX standard and create an equitable situation for female athletes (Suggs, 1999)
Rock climbing has become a popular sport and recreation activity over the last few decades. Although danger might be part of the appeal of rock climbing, many feel that the real lure is the mental and physical requirements of the sport (Schneider Pp)

The number of participants has doubled in just the past few years, as people as realizing that apart from the physical benefits, rock climbing tends to help put the trials of daily life into perspective (Gockley Pp)
According to Polglase, to get started in indoor climbing will cost about $110 for everything including shoes, harness and chalk bag, while outdoor climbing is more expensive (Schneider Pp). Rock climbing has become a popular activity offered by many camps, and while climbing adds challenge and excitement to camp programs, it is important to minimize and control the risk without reducing the excitement, thrill, challenge and fun associated with the activity, therefore it is essential for management to consider all parts of the program in relation to safety and to be prepared for the unexpected (Attarian Pp)
(Gardiner 2009, pp. 255 -- 261) (Topic 5, 2012) In these kinds of situations, the course of natural justice is continually evolving
" This is showing how more general guidelines must be met in order to prove negligence. (Topic 6, 2012) As result, the biggest differences between the two cases are that Waverly Municipal Council v Swain is taking a more focused approach in: demonstrating negligence and breach of duty
Under the law, this means that women can compete directly against men in different sports. (Topic 9, 2012) Moreover, women are often considered to be at a physical disadvantage when competing against men
The High Court found that the Waverly Municipal Council did violate these provisos. (Waverly Municipal Council v Swain
