...M4 These following incidents occurred when safe working practices were not followed. The recent death of a research assistant at the University of California, Los Angeles from injuries obtained whilst working on a highly flammable chemical [Trager. R 2009]-. The university allowed researchers to continue their research during their break. Whilst using a syringe to withdraw some reagent, she accidently pulled the plunger all the way out which lead to allowing air to enter and cased a flash fire. The university was fined as the California Division of Occupation Safety and health concluded that there were significant weaknesses in the school’s hazardous chemical training, workplace safety procedures and laboratory. The university believes that the researcher was wearing nitrile gloves, normal glasses instead of goggles and a synthetic sweater without a lab coat. Firstly the researcher was not wearing correct PPE. Standard eye glasses do not offer sufficient eye protection as goggles do. She chose to not wear a lab coat which means that the fire caused second and third degree burns over 40% of her body. This damage could have been decreased if she had a lab coat as the flame would’ve destroyed the lab coat before her. Secondly, she was not trained on using equipment and maybe did not recognise the COSHH hazard symbol that was probably written on the bottle. COSHH is the law that requires employers to control substances that are hazardous to health. This could have been avoided...

...Handbook on International Moot Court Competitions Preparation & Research Methodology This Handbook is intended to serve as a starting point in the preparation for International Moot Court Competitions. In doing so, it explains what international mooting is, the research methodology involved and the most useful resources available for its preparation. It also provides for the approach one needs to adopt in both oral and written requirements of an international competition which significantly differ from national mooting. The objective behind providing this Handbook is the institutionalisation of standard mooting practices. To this end, it documents the most commonly agreed to and widely followed methods of mooting. It needs to be emphasised that this Handbook is not exhaustive on the areas it touches upon. It is presumed and expected that the reader would go well beyond this Handbook in the course of his/her preparation. The following words of Oscar Wilde express this quite succinctly "Education is an admirable thing, but it is well to remember from time to time that that which is worth knowing cannot be taught." Contents 1. Areas of Law involved 2. Difference between International Law & Municipal Law 3. Difference between International Law Dispute Resolution and Municipal Law Adjudication 4. Steps involved in International Law Moot research 5. Sources of International Law 6. Research resources for various sources of International...

...however I continue to smile through it all because we were trained to uphold the dignity of our patients. There was only one bed in the room, and the privacy curtains were drawn completely around the bed, cloaking my patient in a cloth white rectangle. He created a room inside of a room. I slowly approached announcing my name and describing my purpose. I asked permission to open the curtain to speak with him face to face. I heard a grunt and decided it meant yes. I pulled the curtain back expecting to see a demented madman type anomaly person lying in bed, but instead what I observed revealed a chubby powdery white cherub-faced elderly man, smiling goofily at me. His eyes did a quick assessment of me and then inquisitively he softly uttered, “Damn.” Mr. Archie was awake, alert, and oriented to time and place. In other words, the lights were on, and there was someone home. For a bedridden sick person, his face was shockingly vibrant and clean. His cheeks appeared as two perfect rosy red circles against the backdrop of his pale white delicate paper-thin skin. His skin was almost translucent. I could see the veins on his nose stretched out intricately. It was as if his veins were the work of an artist’s sketching weeping willows on his skin. His face was adorned with irregularly large and appallingly dirty black rimmed eyeglasses. Not only were the glasses awkward and out of place, but they were also filling with flecks of dry scalp that had fallen from his scalp and were getting caught...

...1. Campaign Title and time/date of the campaign: Canadian Club: Repositioning a Dormant Brand in 2007. 2. Situation Analysis: As we saw: The decline in sales was attributed to several factors including frequent changes in ownership, erosion of the brand value of CC, the entry of new brands in the market, change in consumers’ preference for vodka-based drinks, etc. According to industry observers, one of the major factors that contributed to the drop in sales was low brand awareness among customers, especially the younger generation. A shrinking advertising budget and weakening of marketing efforts had resulted in consumers forgetting the CC brand, experts pointed out. Moreover, from being ranked among the top ten spirits in the world in terms of sales in 1985 to reaching 36th position in 2007 showed that the brand needed a revival, according to them. The weak postion was attributed to the decline in CC’s quaartely sales over a period of 17 years. To add to its troubles, its arch-rival, Crown Royal captured CC’s former place in the top ten spirit brands in the world. 3. Campaign Goal: While the goal is to increase the sales of alcohol. It was very clear and relevant. 4. Campaign Publics: What were the publics this campaign targeted? Were they segmented? How? What would you do differently with regard to targeting and segmenting of publics? The campaign targeted younger males other than the traditional 40-plus consumers. Then essence of the campaign was...

...The sound will never escape my damn memory. The sound of the bullet as it flies from the barrel. Lennie’s body crunching the crisp leaves by the river. It brings a tear to my eyes but I ain’t no sissy. But to hell with it, if I ain't of done it ain't nobody else but that bastard Curley who would've shot him. I spend most of my time in the ranch talking to Candy, always lookin' real sad. He has nothin' in life. It seems like his life parallels mine. Slim always seems to be lookin' out for me but he don't say nothin. He knows its best not to. Slims a smart guy. The fellas all go down the bar in Soledad. But I'm never really up for it. Instead I stay in the barn and drown in guilt and remorse. Ha, funny that I say drown. I remember when I told Lennie to jump off the bridge into the lake and he did. Stupid fella couldn't swim and I never realised. I felt guilty as hell at that point too, but he still thanked me when I let him out. Sure, I guess Lennie was a burden to me, but he gave me good company. He was my partner, but now he's gone I feel so lonely. Even with slim, candy an the other guys. He was my best friend. We went around together for a long time. He irritated the hell out of me, he was so damn stupid. But he was the only friend I had, and he wasn’t a bad fella. But I killed him. Shot him straight in the head jus' like like Carlson did to Candy’s dog. Ol' candy told me 'I should have shot that dog myself, George.' Woulda been better than having some stranger do...

...Dear Percival (also known as Tiny Brain), The only reason I’m writing this letter is because King Arthur is forcing me. You know how he forces all the knights to write THE FINAL LETTER in case we fall in battle? It’s a pile of shite, I say. But since I am forced into doing this and I have no real family left, I am writing my FINAL LETTER to you. You as my brother? Don’t know how I feel about that… Moving along with this crap—as Arthur stands over my shoulder and complains about my word choices—I thought I should let you know while I find writing letters boring, I’ll say a few nice things about you anyway (because I must). Fine… you’re my best friend. Happy? And to be honest, I’d be surprised if you ever read this letter, because if I...
