Introduction The word Curriculum was borrowed from Latin implying racecourse. In learning, curriculum implies the course of studies to be pursued by learners in their training institutions. Conversely, a curriculum may be characterized as the entirety of the subject, actions, and experiences, which make up a pupil’s educational life. A subject of study is the material generally in booklet form, which describes to the instructor such things as the goals and ingredients of a particular topic and the activities as well as books to be utilized in attaining preferred results. The curriculum is the youngster’s preface to life as coaching is the grounding for it. When aspirations and goals have been classified accurately and in real terms, the need of structuring a curriculum based on mental, communal, and educational concerns could crop up. Solid values aimed at attaining the objective should be developed. Brady & Kennedy 2010, indicate that the primary step should be to categorize these concerns sequentially based on their significance. The principal category of action that constitutes human life needs to be given priority. Learning is life-centric and child-centric in the 21st century hence any curriculum should reflect on this aspect. Scholars have argued that a reasonably visualized curriculum should focus on two major features that are, the nature of the youngster and the necessity of the society. This article summarizes the principles of a good curriculum and develops a chart as well as a matrix plan for teaching. Scenario Bushvale Primary School is a public institution located in the southern environs. It has 450 learners from various cultural settings although learners are principally Australian-born with Caucasian mothers. Approximately 15% of the learners are from African emigrant ancestors and getting standard employment is a dilemma for their parents. The training institution’s literacy and numeracy reports from nationalized taxing information center pointed out that the learners are performing dismally, which is not good for the country. There is a characteristic of ethnically based anxiety in the playing field of Bushvale Primary School with some reported cases of maltreatment. The institution borders a small sovereign Islamic school with a student population of about two hundred. Nearly everyone at the Islamic school has studied English as a second foreign language. There are reported cases of persecution of Islamic learners after lessons by students from Bushvale. In other words, the relationship between the two schools is not stable since they do not interact in any significant way. It, therefore, follows that the curriculum to be made should incorporate the above issues. The contemporary world demands that the welfare of a child be analyzed from all viewpoints. The objective of learning is
Introduction Everest has seen a significant increase in pollution resulting from human waste, climbers who die, and other litter. The pollution of Everest is extreme in areas where there is high human activity. Pollution has destroyed Everest’s view since climbers are not careful with the litter they carry up the mountain. If the issue is not adequately addressed soon, there is a likelihood that the tourist attraction site will be no more. This paper will highlight some of the practices that have been used in the past to address the pollution issue on Everest. It will also present a recommendation of policies and practices that can help to address the pollution of Everest. There is a need to address the pollution issue on Everest to ensure that the mountain retains its scenery and glory. Suggested Practices and Policies Guiding companies should identify responsible guides who will help to minimize the possibility of climbers littering the mountain. Guides should have adequate knowledge to ensure that all litter ends up in the perfect place and not the whole area (Jenkins). Guiding companies have to inform guides that their main responsibility is to eliminate the possibility of climbers and trekkers dumping waste wrongly. Responsible guides can also help keep track of the dead bodies on the mountain and aid in their retrieval. It would also be necessary to ensure that individuals allowed to climb the mountain have climbing skills. This will help enhance their climbing speed and limit the likelihood of deaths that also contribute to pollution. A policy that can be put in place by Nepal to address the current state of pollution on Everest is limiting the number of climbers to the mountain. The glory of reaching the summit of Everest has acted as
Abstract Obtaining evidence for its further use in court as the means to prove a point may include an array of methods that are not often deemed as legal. Using the information supplied by untrustworthy sources may pose a legitimate threat to all parties involved, not only making a mockery of the justice system but also jeopardizing one’s safety and even life. Therefore, the instances of hearsay and privileged communication must be identified successfully whenever they appear in the course of the prosecution. Furthermore, the use of the Best Evidence Rule (BER) must be consistent. Thus, the foundation for a fair trial and an adequate assessment of the situation can be created. As the three cases under analysis show, determining the incidences of hearsay and privileged communication, as well as applying the BER, may be rather tricky. No matter how tempting and reasonable the unauthorized use of the available information may seem, the contemporary justice system must set an example by complying with the principles of legal data management with uncompromising integrity. Keywords : hearsay, privileged communication, best evidence rule Introduction Finding the evidence that can be used in court as a legitimate proof of a specific claim is often rather difficult due to numerous biases involved. Because of the convoluted way in which information travels from one recipient to another, the results may likely be deemed as inappropriate for the use in court (Lippman, 2015). The three cases in point are a graphic representation of how the use of seemingly solid-proof data may become rather misguided. Hearsay The case in which Louigi “The Pipe” Cardone receives a word-of-the-mouth piece of information regarding the alleged involvement of Freddy “Fingers” Malone was killed by his wife is the exact representation of hearsay. Indeed, by definition, the latter suggests that the data the veracity of which has not been confirmed should be used. Seeing that most of the claims rely on a rumor, it cannot possibly be used in court as substantial evidence (Spencer, 2014). One might argue that the suspicions raised by Louigi and supported by the people to whom he had talked may serve as the reason for reopening the case. However, the information supplied via the source as unreliable as the stated one cannot be deemed as appropriate for representing during the court hearing. In other words, the information about the alleged involvement of the victim’s wife should be viewed as hearsay (Redmayne, 2015). Privileged Communication According to the existing definition, the concept of privileged communication involves information sharing between a lawyer and a client (Gardner & Anderson, 2015). The concept also extends to the interactions between a patient and a healthcare expert, a married couple, etc. In the identified scenario, com
Introduction The Philippines generally and Metro Manila specifically is a city prone to flooding by its very nature and locality (Warren, 2000). Nevertheless, the city has grown and developed into a world trade commercial center that is always controlled by torrential waterfalls that make it lose its beauty. The Pasig River, which crosses the Manila City, is a landmark that collects the spills of natural waterways and drains excess water occasioned by heavy rains. Manila, Philippines, is characteristic of the heavy downpour that always results in dense flooding that literally disrupts business, learning, and transport as schools and offices are indefinitely closed immediately the rainy season begins. Background on the Flood Flooding affects every region of the Philippines neighborhood, and several low-lying regions in the Manila City, such as Espino, Taft, Malabo, and Valenzuela, are usually among the worst hit in every series of flooding that occurs in Philippines (Bankoff, 2003b). Neglect of friendly flood control measures and deeply rooted political interests in the concept of environmental conservation are factors involved (Fano, 2000). Damaged watersheds, enormous slum dwellers living in the echelons natural waterways, and the total disregard for the city’s drainage system continue to make the city of over 15 million people much chaotic, more uncertain, and highly vulnerable to high dense series of flooding. Geographic Location Metro Manila City is located in a semi-alluvial floodplain whose escapement is a formation of sediment flow that emanates from the Malabon-Tullahan and Meycauayan the riverbeds far north and the Marikina riverbed in the east (Catalina, 2012). The city stretches onto a land area of approximately 636 kilometers square and measuring nearly 20 kilometers in length, stretching along a north-south axis with an area that again stretches for another 22 kilometers (Afuang, 2001). Geographically, the city is open to Manila Bay unto the western side and adjacent to Laguna de Bay, a large water mass on the southeastern frontier. Bankoff (2003a) observes that due to these geographical facts, the metropolitan region is made up of a massive urbanized drainage basin that receives frequent instances of river water outbursts that renders the existing system to wobble heavily from the canals that were constructed in the ancient regimes during the Spanish colonial period. In spite of the ever-growing vulnerability to these t
Executive Summary Finally, it is necessary to emphasize that the IT sphere, which is invested by Pinnacle Ventures is highly profitable and of great potential. The returns of this sphere are up to 100%, especially if potential projects are invested. The fact is that, there is proper research required for such kind of investment, as well as quick and firm decisions, as this sphere is highly competitive, and the other companies may outrun. The characteristics of this business entail high levels of profits, this sphere is constantly developing, as investment require constant awareness about technical innovations and the physical characteristics of the invested projects. The particular project which is aimed to be researched in this paper is the Windvane investment. Venture debt, Venture capital, some forms of private equity will be assessed in the paper. Moreover, investment risks will be assessed on the basis of IRR figures, and the cash flow rates, along with the cash flow rates of other venture backed companies. Introduction First of all it is necessary to mention that the company Pinnacle Ventures is engaged in the sphere of capital funding concentrated on offering debt and equity financial support for the developing companies engaged in the sphere of information technology, cleantech and healthcare. The company defines its activity and profile as highly professional due to strength and diversity of the team, the creative and unique approach towards solving the problems and issues which may arise, and due to flexible financial alternatives, aimed to help the companies to achieve success. It is emphasized that like traditional venture company Pinnacle raised funds and estimated deals. Nevertheless, instead of initial investment in the form of equity, Pinnacle is concentrated mainly on lending money to the companies which are in their start-up period, charging them interest and getting warrants that could later be converted to stock in the case of a liquidity event. Most initial investments ‑ usually in the range of $500,000 to $20 million ‑ were made in tandem with or following a company’s first round of venture capital equity financing. Moreover, similarly to other traditional venture capital investors, Pinnacle aimed to take part in the follow-on debt and equity investments among its successful companies. Success in Building the Company As for the activity of the company, and the creation of the pro
Strategy and policy are the backbones of success in the business world. If the policies and strategies of a company are well structured, they mostly translate to profits (Colley, 2004, p. 23). This is because strategic planning helps an organization to produce goods that are appreciable by their customers and also helps them to enter new markets and thus widen their customer base. Additionally, strategic planning helps a company plan well for the future and be aware of future business twists and also helps it to maximally employ the skills of its workforce. On the other hand, development of policies helps an organization to maintain ethical standards and thus maintain its goodwill. Policies also protect the assets of the organization and thus they protect the organization from losses fuelled by fraudulent employees and/or court cases which will, otherwise, be evident in the organization (Hartley, 2010, p. 1). This paper explores the strategies and policies of the Apple Company. History of the Apple Company Apple was founded by Steve Jobs and Wozniak Steve in the year 1976. It was initially a computer manufacturing company but it has, since them, expanded to offer a variety of technology products and a wide range of electronics. In the last 30 years, Apple has expanded its product base to include products like laptops, Mac OSX, the iPod, the iPad, the iPhone, Apple TV, Mac OS Server and a wide variety of desktops. The strategic innovation of the Apple Company has enabled it to gain worldwide popularity with its recent product, the iPad, hitting a million sales marks recently. A billion units of the product are expected to be sold by the end of May. On the other hand, the iPhone is in stock in close to a hundred countries (Malik, 2010, p. 1). The company has been revolutionary in the distribution of digital media and in the field of personal computing. It has dominated most technology consumers and achieved commendable appreciation from educational establishments. Most educational institutions are now using Apples products in their classrooms and computer laboratory. Additionally, a great number of students and lecturers own Apple products for their personal computing and technology needs (Malik, 2010, p. 1). This success can be partly attributed to the priority that the Apple Company gives to strategic innovation and invention. Strategies and policies of the Apple Company The Apple Company has also established relationships with international agents to help them market their products. For instance, Rogers Communications Inc. markets Apple products in Canada. They have recently developed policies on the marketing of data plans for the iPad. They offer 250 Mb monthly data for $15 and 5 Gb for $ 35. They do not have an unlimited data plan because they believe that most customers use less than 250 Mb in a month. This is contrary to the
Introduction The twentieth-century medical sector has been criticized for the lack of a stable patient’s safety policy and inabilities to create the systems under which healthcare is properly provided. Insurance companies have to take responsibility for any errors that occur in the healthcare system, still, these companies do not find it necessary to elaborate on the challenges even because its vast majority aims are reducing patients’ claims and necessities. Every day numerous preventable events occur in the medical field that could be easily avoided in case proper regulation and enforcement of patient safety are considered. The point is even though some regulations are provided, not enough information is used to prove the idea that these regulations may considerably improve patient safety. 1 Several attempts made by media reports as well as the various interested parties such as insurance companies have resulted in the formulation of a range of policy proposals that aim at providing an amicable solution to the question of patient safety. The complexity and bureaucracy that comes with medical systems take up the greater share of the blame, and healthcare systems choose to allow the various organizations to device their mechanisms of dealing with the problem. The purpose of this paper is to prove that several alternatives may be used to elaborate medical errors, promote the improvement of medical healthcare under a variety of conditions, and stop blaming individuals for making mistakes that are not always based on personal poor knowledge or experience. The current statistical data in the US indicates that tens of thousands of American people die annually because of preventable medical errors. 2 This fact falls in the range of other causes of death such as road accidents and breast cancer. Still, the statistics omit some unreported deaths caused by medical harms as well as those which are reported as serious still not as fatal. 3 It is common knowledge that the healthcare sector has remained a step behind the trend in all other sectors in as far as industrial safety is concerned. Several investigations have been conducted to define the connection that takes place between the already existing systems and the number of errors that lead to unpleasant results in medical practice. The researchers such as Runciman and his team, Watcher, and Vincent introduce different points of view and develop their ideas on the fact that it is wrong to blame one person in case of incompetence or negligent performance. The distinction of Errors and Adverse Events There is a need to distinguish between errors and adverse events. It is possible to admit that the error differs from the adverse

Website marketing entails use of internet as the medium for marketing products and services. The use of internet as the marketing medium has various advantages that range from lower cost of disseminating information to its ability to reach the global audience. Website marketing also involves digital client data management and electronic client relationships handling. Nowadays there is widespread adaption of website marketing due to the prevailing enhanced growth and propagation of the Information Technology globally. These days most of established and incoming firms are opting in adapting web marketing as their most preferred means of marketing and advertisement. This has helped these companies to increase potential customers who visit their homepage and learn about their products or services. The benefits that are associated with website marketing outweigh its shortcomings and thus, it is a very effective medium for marketing (Arnold, 2011). The World Wide Web is generally available to a large number of individuals. This makes it very easy for many businesses to reach millions of customers by just a few clicks of the mouse. The ability of internet marketing and in particular website marketing to reach a broad range of consumers has made it become a very common marketing medium in many current businesses. The use of website in marketing makes businesses’ products or services being accessed by potential buyers anywhere in the world. In relation to other forms of advertisement, website marketing has been noted as being more effective in reaching greater number of customers than any other means. There is no comparison that can exist between the use of website marketing with the use of radio and television ads. In addition, it is not even comparable with the Billboards which are only effective in reaching only those people who just happen to pay them attention while passing where they are placed. Moreover, it is common that consumers will hang up on or put off speaking with a telemarketer. Similarly, the time you use to talk to one consumer can be used to reach thousands of customers through website marketing (Charlesworth, 2009). In addition to its fastness, website marketing is also noted to be very inexpensive compared to other forms of marketing. The only costs that are associated with website marketing are the initial costs that are required for designing and hosting the website plus the costs that are associated with its maintenance and updates which are mostly negligible. Website marketing can often become very expensive depending on the kind of ads adapted. For instance a banner ad or a link to a very famous website can cost a firm a considerable amount of money (Sweeney &Yang, 2001). Website marketing can also greatly assist businesses to be able to reach their target audience consumers. This is possible when website marketing is used in collaboration with email marketing that enables businesses to r
