...What exactly can encapsulate how a year in Cambridge has been like? What choice of words, what photos, what specific memories would suffice to capture the whirlwind of emotions, the myriad of new experiences? Nothing really seems to come close, but here’s a shot at it. Cook-outs – One of the first few things that you’ll start missing when overseas would definitely be the food; your humble hokkein mee, chye tao kueh, rojak, laksa… you name it, we’ll crave it. The fact that the only photos that Singaporeans seem capable of posting on Facebook are that of food certainly doesn’t make things easier. So what does one do then? LEARN HOW TO COOK. This was no mean feat for me especially, as someone who didn’t know how to cook an omelette without charring. The learning curve may be steep but you’ll be surprised at how fast you’ll learn and also how high your tolerance for substandard food becomes when you’ve misjudged the time to let your noodles boil and the amount of salt to add for the 912695th time. Not to worry also, CUMSA is overrun by excellent individuals who are so well-rounded that they can not only finish all their supervision work, attend formals every night and generally save the world, but they can cook. So when you’re tired of eating over-salted soggy noodles, all you need to do is wrangle an invitation to dinner. Oh the delicacies that they can whip up, but more importantly the glorious company and bonds forged over dinner. Food really is one of the ties that bind Singaporeans...

...Intergenerational justice Name: Course: Instructor: Date: In the post modern era that many of the young people are finding themselves in, it is very normal to feel lonely, misplaced but worst of all neglected. This happens amidst all the opulence and enhancement of life that modernity promised to offer. The government has done little to remedy this and many of the young people feel completed left out and not properly engaged in the world affairs (Reid, 2008). This is a sad analysis but also a very accurate one. Everyone thought that modernity would make life easier, that technology would help to find solutions to our challenges but this has not been the case. With modernity came along challenges that not many would have predicted. The present day young person is faced with more challenges than the previous generations had to deal with. Poor health, more pollution, global competition, low pay are some of the things that the young people have to deal. All this while, the government is just but watching and not providing any tangible solutions. Well, the reason as to why the young the people would feel this way towards the government and other agencies is because they would have expected better than this. It is my opinion that the government has not done all it could have done to shield and better equip the young people. Yet fully aware of the challenges that post-modernity has brought along, no proper policies or reforms have been established to manage this. The little...

...The regrettable but unavoidable incidences of the very many cancers affecting people in Ireland today is an area of medicine which harnesses, in union with pharmaceutical products, the skills of Specialist Consultant Oncologists at the very highest level. Bayer is an established link in this chain principally through the proven use of its product Nexavar, which is currently licensed for the treatment of kidney and liver cancers. It is anticipated however that Nexavar’s scope will be extended to include its use in further indications in Oncology subject to positive phase III clinical trial results. All of this theatre of activity, from the viewpoints of the medical practitioners, the regulatory agencies and the pharmaceutical companies, is necessarily driven by the continuum of verified product trial statistical endpoints. While the market for pharmaceutically assisted weight-loss products is both extensive and growing, it remains fundamentally different from cancer therapies in that overweight individuals have realistically much more discretion with regard to the decision as to what if anything to choose from within the wide menu of discretionary weight-loss products, while cancer sufferers firstly must attend specialist Oncology consultants whose diagnostic analysis will determine what if any Oncology treatment may be suitable and secondly, being a life-threatening condition, cancer requires immediate urgent non-discretionary specialist care. While Nexavar currently is licensed...

...Academic Performance of Undergraduate Students at Cambridge by School/College Background Dr Geoff Parks, Director of Admissions for the Cambridge Colleges Introduction A number of studies have sought to examine the effects of prior schooling on subsequent academic performance of undergraduate students at UK universities (see, for instance: HEFCE, 2003; Naylor and Smith, 2005; Hoare and Johnston, 2011). Most studies of this sort have reached conclusions along the lines of: “We estimate that, on average, a student who attended an Independent school is 6.9% to 5.4% less likely to be awarded a ‘good’ degree compared to a student who attended an LEA (state-sector) school, ceteris paribus” (Naylor and Smith, 2005). That students from the maintained sector out-perform their privately educated peers in higher education has become the received wisdom, and it is widely assumed that this must be the case at all UK universities. Hoare and Johnson (2011) found it to be the case at the University of Bristol. This study examines whether it is the case at the University of Cambridge. Methodology This study considers the academic performance at Cambridge of undergraduates educated at UK schools and colleges. Their academic performance is judged by their results in their last examinations classed on a First/II.1/II.2/Third basis. In most cases this is in their final year, but in the case of a small number of subjects, for instance Engineering, where the final year is classed on Distinction/Merit/Pass...

...Internationalization of the Costa Coffee in China By Student’s Name Code+ course name Instructor’s Name University Name City, State Date Internationalization of the Costa Coffee in China Internationalization is a modern business trend that enterprises are using to enlarge their markets and therefore increase profits. It involves expanding the enterprises’ activities in foreign countries after a thorough market analysis. A company has to consider a number of factors before investing internationally. Barriers to trade have in the recent past decreased with many countries getting involved in economic integrations. Costa coffee is a UK company that has now expanded its activities in many foreign countries; China is one of the countries where it has been doing very well (Liberman 2013) Costa coffee moved to China in 2006 and since that time it has been doing very well, its aim is to make China the second biggest market of its coffee by ensuring that it takes a third of the total production. This may be achieved because since then there are already more than 250 stores of Costa coffee. The determinants of internationalization include the availability of a market, nature of competition, availability of willing local partners to do business with; local conditions such as the locals culture and beliefs (Clarence-Smith 2003) Availability of market for a particular product is mainly influenced by the population of a country, China is known for its high population...

...Cambridge University Press 0521804167 - Euthanasia, Ethics and Public Policy: An Argument Against Legalisation John Keown Frontmatter More information EUTHANASIA, ETHICS AND PUBLIC POLICY An Argument against Legalisation Whether the law should permit voluntary euthanasia or physicianassisted suicide is one of the most vital questions facing all modern societies. Internationally, the main obstacle to legalisation has proved to be the objection that, even if they were morally acceptable in certain hard cases, voluntary euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide could not be effectively controlled; society would slide down a slippery slope to the killing of patients who did not make a free and informed request, or for whom palliative care would have offered an alternative. How cogent is this objection? This book provides the general reader (who need have no expertise in philosophy, law or medicine) with a lucid introduction to this central question in the debate, not least by reviewing the Dutch euthanasia experience. It will interest readers in any country, whether for or against legalisation, who wish to ensure that their opinions are better informed. john keown is Senior Lecturer in the Law and Ethics of Medicine, Faculty of Law, University of Cambridge. His previous publications include Abortion, Doctors and the Law (1988) and Euthanasia Examined (1995). © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 0521804167 - Euthanasia, Ethics and...

...Points Society utilizes a certain area depending on elements such as architecture and its aesthetic qualities. Harvard Square, located in Cambridge, Massachusetts, is no different. Centrally located within Harvard University, it is evident the Square mimics the university’s attractive Georgian architecture. Other influential characteristics can be seen in the Square’s efforts for preservation, like Out of Town News, which gives the Square its own local character. These architectural qualities influence visitors’ behaviors to use the space to their own benefit through the use of impulse buying, triangulation, and different seating arrangements. Harvard Square not only provides a historic place for individuals to shop, dine and congregate, but also an opportunity to find their own center in a large, impersonal city. Is it possible that a certain color of brick or position of wall can manipulate a person’s behavior? As strange as it sounds, this influence can be seen in an area situated in the middle of an Ivy League campus that contains several clothing stores, a large underground train station, and restaurants. This “heterogeneous” area, known as Harvard Square, despite its age, is still considered unique and upbeat place within a historic, elite university. Since the heart of the Square is shaped like a triangle, different parts of Cambridge touch this area. For example, on the side of Massachusetts Avenue are Harvard University and its historic Harvard Yard. On the other side...
