...Need: avenue for applying learned quantitative (statistical) skills in practical and real-life cases Opportunity: create the first statistical org in Ateneo Ateneo Statistics Circle or A-Stat Build a community of critical decision makers Outside School Orgs INPUT OUTPUT Members, Officers, Funds, Tools & Instruments Research Studies Outputs, Tutorials, Social Events, Charity Work Other AdMU Orgs Government L.S. Community The Ateneo Statistics Circle (A-Stat) was formed in the 10th of March 2005 by eleven B.S. Management Engineering students who saw the need to create an organization where students can apply quantitative methods and skills that they learned in class into solving and/or addressing real-life problems and issues present in their community. Furthermore, the founders saw the need for a Statistics-oriented student organization in the Ateneo which will cater mainly to statistics lovers as well as for those who want to learn about statistics but did not have enough opportunities because of the lack of any Statistics course in the university. Today, A-Stat, which exists vis-à-vis its external environment (e.g. other Ateneo organizations, the government, other outside school organizations, and the LS Community), delivers their outputs (e.g. research studies outputs, statistics tutorials and talks, social events, and charity works) through the work of their members and officers, through the funds that they collect from members and from fund-raising...

...to write. I could not relate to the topics my instructor gave us to choose from, none of them clicked with me. We were given permission to write about any topic, as long it was okay with her. I chose a topic that is very dear and passionate to me, special needs children. That is why it becomes difficult for me to write theory based papers, I write from my heart and tend to forget to add the theoretical points to my paper. I hope to share how my thoughts on the subject of special needs will be informative and will enlighten the reader. Trying to inform the public of the special needs environment is a challenge. People need to be taught how to react and respect them, along with family members that care for them. As it is stated; America is a wonderful melting pot of cultural diversity. I believe that the majority of people are open minded and try to be fair. Something happens, though, when some people come in contact with adults and kids with disabilities. It is understandable to be fearful of the unknown. (1) The community I live in is becoming more aware of how they should react and respond to the special needs people. The schools must support them and bring in the correct teachers, supplies and have the building accessible for all that is required of them. Daycare centers, restaurants, and all public businesses have the demands of regulations and respect for the special needs environment. Children who have special...

...People have always dreamt of another life like Disneyworld where they can get everything just in a second, of a scene in which everyone can go back home without being stuck in traffic jam for hours or, of a space where there is no pollution and diseases. However, despite the fact that such an ideal life has stayed in people’s mind, not too many people believe a real utopia exists. It is similar to when audiences watch a romantic movie with a perfect ending and tell themselves this can only happen on the screen where all the lines have been written and edited carefully. Without any hope for any possible alternatives, eventually, no one would strive to create a peaceful and fantasy world according to their dream. However, there is a country that is making the dream of a lot of people come true. In a recent decade, Singapore has been moving towards the idea of improving their social and economic problems through constructing the modern building projects. Needless to say, their significant achievement in economic social development has brought them opportunities to become one of the most stable economies in the world regardless of a limited space and sacred natural resources. Singapore is among the countries that has the lowest rate of unemployment, highest adequate living conditions and social pension, and fastest economic growth in Asia. Furthermore, it is also well known for the green environment and energy efficiency. Although Singapore is believed to be a clear example of how...

Today Jotun operates in more than 70 countries, and is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of paints and coatings. Jotun has been in the Chinese market since 1983, initially focusing only on marine coatings and protective coatings where the brand became very successful.

However, after 8 years in the Chinese decorative paint market, Jotun China has not been able to replicate its previous successes. Therefore, we the authors of this thesis, working in collaboration with Jotun China staff, set out first to determine the viability of Jotun’s latest strategy for the Chinese decorative paint market, and second to suggest concrete steps to follow if and when executing this strategy.

...Introduction to Civic Leadership, Part I Unit A The discipline of leadership studies – about 120 years old, just 15-20 years ago that universities began to study leadership as a discipline. o 4 areas of course/types of leadership courses: Theory – what is it? LDRS 300 etc skills/behaviors – most common type, focus on teaching people how to do leadership issues – focus on leadership as it relates to a particular issue, such as Leadership & ethics, or gender issues & leadership. Context – study leadership within a particular context – Leadership & business, or politics (this course is a context course) What is leadership? An influence relationship between leaders & followers. Multidirectional. 3 elements - This influence is based on persuasion, not authority. Why do followers hold the power? Because they have the decision making power. They decide who they’re going to follow, when, and why. To be successful in the leadership role, have to be persuasive and convince people to listen to me. Has to be a non-coercive relationship. 2) Why do we do leadership? To change from what is to what ought to be. 3) The change is for collective good and mutual purposes. Doing it for “our group”, the collective good of that group. What is civic leadership? Taking what we know about leadership and moving it to a social/civic environment, a context course. Studying in the community environment, without the constraints of an organization.

...our economy.Something has to change, for some time now a large part of the United States population has bought into the whole concept of placing children who break the law in juvenile correctional facilities. As tax payers we must come to the realization that something needs to change if we want these troubled youth to have a bright future ahead of them and become law-abiding tax payers. As a country we are spending billions of dollars buying into this whole concept of incarcerating young people, while research shows it is ineffective on rehabilitating the lives of juvenile offenders. Richard A. Mendel reports that a number of studies actually show that the incarceration of juveniles, “actually increases recidivism among youth with lower-risk profiles and less-serious offending histories” (6). In order to put an end to this epidemic of just locking kids up and costing taxpayers billions of dollars we must use some alternative methods when dealing with juvenile offenders. If we want to build a stronger economy for the future we must invest less money into locking kids up and more money in building them back up. According to Mendel view on the incarceration of juveniles, “it wastes vast sums of taxpayers’ dollars. And more than not, it harms the...

...What is Binge Drinking? Binge drinking is defined as "the consumption of five or more drinks in a row on at least one occasion." In national surveys (in the USA) about a third of high school seniors and 45 percent of college students reported at least one occasion of binge drinking within the previous 2 weeks. March 26, 2004: The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse reports that, “More than five million high schoolers binge drink at least once a month.” As a Floridian who lives near one of the 'Spring Break" hot spots, this comes as no great shock. I guess there are a lot of parents out there who are surprised by these numbers and yet, what were they doing in college or when the drinking age was 18? How do you expect your kid to just say no, when you said yes not that long ago? Talk to your teenagers and be honest with them! ~ Amy. RN ~ [pic] While some national surveys have documented a significant decline in the use of other drugs by high school seniors and college-age youths, there have been only small declines in the numbers reporting binge drinking. Teenagers and young adults drink alcoholic beverages at about the same rates they did 5 years ago. Binge drinking increases the risk for alcohol-related injury, especially for young people, who often combine alcohol with other high-risk activities, such as impaired driving. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the four leading injury-related causes of death among youths under the age of...

...under the title of Une Cité Industrielle. It represents the culmination of several philosophies of urbanism that were the outgrowth of the Industrial Revolution in 19th-century Europe. The Cité Industrielle was to be situated on a plateau in southeastern France, with hills and a lake to the north and a river and valley to the south. The plan takes into consideration all the aspects necessary to running a Socialist city. It provides separate zones for separate functions, a concept later found in such new towns (see new town) as Park Forest, Ill., and Reston, Va. These zones—residential, industrial, public, and agricultural—are linked by location and circulation patterns, both vehicular and pedestrian. The public zone, set on the plateau much in the manner of the Hellenistic acropolis, is composed of the governmental buildings, museums, and exhibition halls and large structures for sports and theatre. Residential areas are located to take best advantage of the sun and wind, and the industrial district is accessible to natural power sources and transportation. The “old town” is near the railroad station to accommodate sightseers and tourists. A health centre and a park are located on the heights north of the city, and the cemetery to the southwest. The surrounding area is devoted to agriculture. The plan itself is clearly in the Beaux-Arts tradition, tempered by a natural informality possibly derived from the ideas of the Austrian town planner Camillo Sitte. The plan lacked jails,...
