...Case 5: Shouldice Hospital Limited (Abridged): Phần Uyên History of Shouldice Hospital: Dr. Earle Shouldice was interest in early ambulation stemmed, his medical license permitted him to operate anywhere, even on a kitchen table. As more and more patients requested operations, Dr Shouldice created new facilities by buying a rambling 130-acre estate with a 17.000-square foot main house in the Toronto suburb of Thornhill. After some years of planning, a large wing was added to provide a total capacity of 89 beds.

...INTEGRATION The process of European integration was launched soon after the end of the World War II. It relies on tragic experiences connected with the largest and also most tragic armed conflict in human history, caused by Nazi Germany. After the war, in Europe, and more specifically in its western part, there arose conditions favourable for the start of a new, planned integration of the countries of the Old Continent. Western European countries, though very weakened after the war (destroyed economy, infrastructure, human resources), were, however, as never before agreeable to the necessity of defending basic human rights and democratic values. Western European leaders decided to undertake coordinated actions aiming at the reconstruction of European countries and their economies and introduction of a new political order, which could guarantee the security of nations and give a chance for their successful development in the future. The genesis of the integration process in Europe after the World War II: In the process of planning the introduction of a new political order in post-war Europe, it was acknowledged that the key task was the reconstruction of European economies. Western European leaders realised that only efficient and effective European economy would be a foundation on which new safety and development structures could be built. The American aid plan for Europe - the European Recovery Plan, called the Marshall Plan, was a great support for those plans. At that time...

As a result, its share price has fallen from a high of US$40 in 2007 to under US$3 in 2012.[10][11] Since February 2011, Nokia has had a strategic partnership with Microsoft, as part of which all Nokia smartphones will incorporate Microsoft's Windows Phone operating system (replacing Symbian).

...22000 ESSENTIAL WORDS FOR IELTS AND TOEFL Cũng có 1 chút kinh nghiệm về kỳ thi IELTS, nên hôm nay chia sẻ cùng mọi người. Muốn đạt điểm cao ở kỳ thi IELTS, có 1 điểm rất quan trọng mà Bear nghĩ ai cũng biết: LUYỆN TẬP THƯỜNG XUYÊN. Tuy nhiên, cũng có 1 điểm cực kỳ quan trọng mà đa số thường không chú trọng lắm. Đó là phần từ vựng dạng ACADEMIC (học thuật). Nên để đạt điểm cao trong kỳ thi IELTS, ôn luyện từ trong quyển 22.000 từ THI TOEFL/IELTS của Harold Levine là cực kỳ cần thiết. Mỗi ngày chỉ cần học 3 từ, thì lượng từ vựng của bạn sẽ tăng đáng kể. Số từ vựng này giúp bạn trong cả 4 phần thi LISTENING / SPEAKING / READING / WRITING. Ví dụ: Nếu bạn dùng từ: SIMULTANEOUSLY thay cho từ AT THE SAME TIME, hay PORTABLE thay cho từ EASY TO CARRY hay MITIGATE thay cho từ LESSEN … trong phần WRITING và SPEAKING thì điểm của bạn sẽ cao chót vót không ngờ luôn đấy. Chưa kể, nhất là trong phần READING, những từ trong quyển sách này xuất hiện nhiều lắm, và cả LISTENING nữa chứ. Sự lợi hại của quyển sách này, chắc chắn chỉ khi nào học rồi, bạn mới thấy rõ. Quyển này (nhà xuất bản TPHCM) đã hết bán rồi. Nên nếu bạn nào cần phôtô thì liên lạc Uyên Uyên: UyenUyen@englishtime.us Tuy nhiên mỗi tuần Bear vẫn sẽ post lên đây 20 từ trong quyển sách đó, để nếu bạn nào ở xa, vẫn có thể học được. Đương nhiên mỗi người có 1 cách học riêng và trí nhớ khác nhau. Có người nhìn qua là nhớ liền, có người nhìn hoài vẫn không nhớ, nên Bear suggest...

...BRITISH LITERATURE (Collected by Trần Quang Nhu) 1. THE GARDEN PARTY by Katherine Mansfield 1. Plot Summary .The cloudless summer day is perfect for the garden party at the home of the well-to-do Sheridan family. Before breakfast ends, four workmen arrive to set up the marquee (a tent or canopy to shield partygoers from the elements). Because Meg has just washed her hair and Jose is still in her petticoat, Mrs. Sheridan assigns the task of supervising the men to Laura. Taking a piece of buttered bread with her, Laura goes outside to begin her task. .......When she suggests that the men–all smiling and quite friendly–set up the marquee on the lily lawn, a fat man considers the idea but a tall man man says it would not get enough attention there. "You want to put it somewhere where it'll give you a bang slap in the eye." Laura wonders whether it is respectful of a laborer to speak to a girl of her upbringing in the crude language (bang slap) of the common people. .......Laura then recommends a corner of the tennis court. Although a band will be playing on the court, she says, there will still be room for the marquee. Another man suggests placing the marquee against the karaka trees. Laura dislikes the idea of hiding the broad leaves and yellow fruit of the karakas, but the workmen are already heading toward them with the staves and rolls of canvas. She is impressed that one workman stops to smell lavender. Too bad the boys who come calling...

...Typing in Amharic The Amharic keyboard ( ) uses a system where the Amharic sounds are matched to the English letters (a style called “phonetic”). You can think of how a word sounds in Amharic and then type it out with English. Example: typing selam becomes ሰላም Because Amharic has more sounds than English we sometimes have to adjust this rule. For example English does not have ‘ጠ’ and the closest similar letter would be ‘t’. In this case you should type with “capital T”: Example: typing TienaysTlN becomes ጤናይስጥልኝ Notice that we used capital ‘N’ also for ‘ኝ’ and we needed both “ie” together to make the 5th ‘ጠ’ letter ‘ጤ’. When the letter you want to type does not appear when you hit the similar sounding key in English, try using the capital next. If typing the capital does not work, then try hitting the key two times: Example: typing sselam becomes ሠላም Example: typing SSeHey becomes ፀሐይ Next, when you need to type the extra letters of Amharic like ሏ, ሟ, ኴ you can do so by typing an extra vowel after a ‘u’: Example: typing mua becomes ሟ Example: typing guie becomes ጔ Finally, we must introduce a special rule for ' (apostrophe). Some words are spelt with a ሳድስ (6th) letter followed by a vowel, like ርኤ in ገብርኤል. We use the apostrophe here to type “gebr'iel” to make sure we get “ርኤ” instead of ‘ሬ’. Example: typing mel'ak becomes መልአክ Example: typing m'eeraf becomes ምዕራፍ We also use the apostrophe for Ethiopic numbers, so '1 becomes ፩ and so on. If a ' is needed in your document just...

...“Clear thinking requires peace of mind rather than intelligence.” ~Meredith Forder … When it comes to making the right choices in life, mere intelligence will not guarantee the best result. This fact is exemplified by the problems of obesity, anxiety, stress, addictions and depression among highly intelligent people. At Clear Thinking we believe that many of life’s problems can be solved by simply learning how to think clearly—how to keep your mind calm, focused and within your control. Critical thinking...the awakening of the intellect to the study of itself. Critical thinking is a rich concept that has been developing throughout the past 2500 years. The term "critical thinking" has its roots in the mid-late 20th century. We offer here overlapping definitions, together which form a substantive, transdisciplinary conception of critical thinking. Critical Thinking as Defined by the National Council for Excellence in Critical Thinking, 1987 A statement by Michael Scriven & Richard Paul, presented at the 8th Annual International Conference on Critical Thinking and Education Reform, Summer 1987. Critical thinking is the intellectually disciplined process of actively and skillfully conceptualizing, applying, analyzing, synthesizing, and/or evaluating information gathered from, or generated by, observation, experience, reflection, reasoning, or communication, as a guide to belief and action. In its exemplary form, it is based on universal intellectual values that...

As a result, our long-term projections for the BRICs look more, rather than less, likely to be realised. It is now possible that China will become as big as the US by 2027, and the BRICs as big as the G7 by 2032. Within the BRICs and N-11, China, Brazil, India, Indonesia and the Philippines appear to be performing best. Bangladesh, Egypt, Korea, Nigeria, Turkey and Vietnam form a second group of countries that have performed broadly in line with expectations. Iran, Mexico, Pakistan and Russia have need for improvement. We show the ongoing dramatic BRIC influence in key product markets, with autos and crude oil as examples.
