...most palpable reminder that all is not well with Filipino children. Reality reveals the many children who are denied even the most minimum of needs like food, love, nurturance, stability, security, and stimulating learning environment that will allow for their healthy development. Many Filipino children are rushed into maturity because early on in their lives, they are forced to contend with difficult problems and to take on adult roles and responsibilities. Media and popular and academic literature, more than any other time, has brought to our attention the plight of children, be they street children or not, who perform adult roles and who are in need of the basic components of a healthy family life. 2 Bautista, Roldan & Garces-Bacsal Reports of child abuse are also on the rise. Often, abused children have to deal, on their own, with the fear and pain brought on by parents, relatives, significant others, or complete strangers. Such realities repudiate Da Silva’s idealized view of children (in Torres 1990), as persons who “needs adult protection...

It is really difficult when you are a grown-up to be a kid again. —Sandra Benavides, Peru The new generations have different expectations, they have been exposed to new information and trends; they are more inclined to think in terms of people than the generation we grew up in. —Sergio Nacach, Head of Kimberly-Clark, Andean Region Sergio not only has done a terrific job in his own region, he became the evangelist, if you will, the missionary for the remaining countries and sub-regions in Latin American Operations. —Ramiro Garces, Vice President for Human Resources, LAO In the summer of 2008, Ramiro Garces, vice president of human resources for the Latin American region of Kimberly-Clark, the large consumer products company, was thinking about the many management changes spreading through the company almost like a virus.

Nacach’s first job had been to run Kimberly-Clark’s operations in the small Central American country of El Salvador. Now, Nacach was running the Andean region for K-C and producing impressive business results.

...scales when it comes to determining whether race works for or against minorities. Affirmative action laws should not be changed, because it is an excellent program as demonstrated by the fact that two Supreme Court justices are products of affirmative action. Originally designed to overcome the disparities created by slavery and past discrimination affirmative action is still relevant in today’s society Affirmative action laws have been the subject of legal actions and disputes. In 2003 Michigan law school had to defend its affirmative action practices before the Supreme Court in the case of Grutter versus Bollinger (Garces, 2012). The court decided that colleges and universities have an obligation to consider race in a society where race matters. Another case is currently before the Supreme Court titled Fisher versus the University of Texas (Garces, 2012). A decision in this case is imminent and can have sweeping effects on the future of affirmative action laws. Many Americans do not understand affirmative action laws. Most people see it as a personal injury of giving priority to someone that has not earned it. They fail to look at the reasons the program exists, the requirements for the program and the need for it to continue. Affirmative action is when a company takes steps to ensure that it's practices function without depriving any gender or ethnic group. It is a way to promote equality for women and ethnic minorities (Bowen, 2011). Many people use the...

...How Social Media has Affected Marketing How has social media changed the marketing strategy used by companies? Marketing can be classified as a strategy that lets consumers know about products and can tell companies what consumers need. Social Media is an important communication tool to easily connect to other people or organizations. Studies have shown that people use information on social media as the guideline for their future purchase or planning their future trip. The marketing strategy focuses on a target market. Companies can easily reach their targets individually through the use of social media. Consumers tend to post, share, and favorite advertising through social media, which attracts other similar consumers as well. Overall, social media is an easy way for a seller to reach a target market. The increased use of social media has given marketers a larger pool of data, a better understanding of the audience’s needs, the ability to bypass gatekeepers, real-time feedback, and the chance to place their employee’s on the front line. An affective marketer usually markets their products to a target market. Target markets are customers that are most likely to buy your product. In order to obtain research and information on a target market, the marketer must receive primary data. Social media has made this easier to obtain by the click of a button. Before social media companies would use phone calls, mail, or surveys to gather primary data. This proved to be expensive...

...UNIVERSIDAD NACIONAL DE TRUJILLO FACULTAD De educación y ciencias de la comunicación ESCUELA ACADÉMICO PROFESIONAL DE Idiomas ASIGNATURA: HISTORY OF ENGLISH LITERATURE TEMA: ComparISON about Beowulf ALUMNA: GARCÉS RODRÍGUEZ, JENIFFER. AÑO: 2016– V Ciclo TRUJILLO – PERÚ COMPARISON ABOUT BEOWULF CHARACTER IN A FILM AND THE POEM The story of Beowulf is a timeless tale that many people have heard before. Beowulf is the great Anglo-Saxon hero who represents all that is good in the world and fights to protect the innocent. Beowulf goes out to battle monsters like Grendel, Grendel’s mother, and the firedrake to keep the people safe. This part of the story will always remain the same and will never change. However, when comparing the poem to the film there are in fact both similarities and substantial changes. I have considered appropriate to compare the similarities and differences of Beowulf’s personality and physical appearance. In the lines below, I will develop this issue. When comparing Beowulf’s personality and physical appearance in the poem and the film, there a few similarities between the two. Both the character in the poem and in the film possesses the same basic traits. In both the poem and the film, Beowulf is described as being the best and bravest of the Geats. Besides, it can be read and...

...Este articulo fue publicado en la Revista Ingenieros, del Colegio de Ingenieros de Chile Edición 198 Abril Junio 2011 Este artículo hace énfasis de la importancia que tendría la ingeniería en el desarrollo de tecnologías que condicionen un mejor acceso al agua potable. DISPONIBILIDAD DE AGUA Por: Fernando Agüero Garcés El siglo XXI representa desafíos apasionantes a la ingeniería mundial, tales como el desarrollo de energías competitivas y no contaminantes, la captura del carbono que se emite en exceso a la atmosfera o la producción de3 mejores medicinas y la fabricación de equipos médicos que permitan controlar mejor la salud de las personas. Pero tal vez el reto más trascendente para mejorar la calidad de vida de millones de personas, es generar las condiciones para que todos los habitantes del planeta tengan acceso a agua potable. Hoy en día, la disponibilidad de agua para beber y otros usos es un problema crítico en muchas zonas del mundo. Aproximadamente 1.000 millones de personas viven sin acceso adecuado al agua y más del doble carece de servicios sanitarios seguros. En algunos países, la mitad de la población no tiene acceso al agua potable y, por lo tanto, severamente afectada por problemas de salud. Cada día mueren cerca de 5.000 niños en todo el mundo por enfermedades relacionadas con la diarrea. No es que en el planeta no exista agua suficiente, pero ésta no siempre se encuentra en el lugar y las condiciones adecuadas. Alrededor de 3% del agua del planeta...

...Guayaquil, 06 de marzo de 2016 Señores CGG – SPTMF – ABG Como es de vuestro conocimiento, la situación actual de la logística de materiales hacia las islas Galápagos se da en condiciones que distan de ser las más convenientes. Como Armadores de las motonaves que proporcionan el servicio de transporte marítimo, nos resulta preocupante la situación de algunos sus componentes: 1.- ITINERARIO La falta de terminales portuarios en los puertos de destino, la descarga realizada en sitios de fondeo en situación de alta inseguridad, la lenta movilización de las barcazas, la lenta operación de los contenedores en tierra, y otros elementos del proceso, hacen que los tiempos de permanencia de los buques en un puerto determinado varíe en forma pronunciada. Sumado a esto, la descarga en la isla Isabela se da de forma manual, desde abordo hacia las barcazas. Todo ello hace que, por causas fuera de su control, los buques salgan y arriben a los puertos con más de un día de diferencia, que es la holgura permitida en el documento del itinerario vigente. Esa diferencia se multiplica en cada puerto visitado, haciendo que los atrasos sean de varios días, llegando a sumar hasta una semana en un solo viaje. Mientras no se cuente con terminales adecuados y una infraestructura de descarga conveniente, las fechas de arribo de los buques deben ser referenciales, y su incumplimiento no puede generar amonestación al buque, ya que su atraso es por causas que no controla, como mar embravecida, lentitud...

Latinoamericanos tienen un punto de visto sobre su región bastante pesimista. Es un error. Las barreras son dentro de sus cabezas. AL es una región de clase media, pobreza es en África y Asia. * Ejemplo de Chile que se ha abierto al comercio con reformas * Los países aprendieron que reducir el déficit era importante para reducir la inflación Una cuestión primordial es la del papel de México: asumir su papel y asociarse con el sur del continente o dar este papal al Brasil. En los 60s, México estaba solo, porque era la década perdida de AL. México ha elegido asociarse con los EEUU, pero hoy es EEUU-dependiente. Es grave dar la espalda a EEUU y al Tratado De Libre Comercio De America Del Norte, pero es aun mas grave no asociarse con los que compartan tu cultura. Si no lo hace, Brasil tendrá que hacerlo. México es visto como un país indeciso: soña de una mexamerica donde es México y EEUU son solos. Con 100m de personas, México no puede ser un país vasallo de otro.

...Hazelle Anne M. Garces BSA 2-23 Nutritional Requirements Eating is one of life’s pleasures. However, there is more to eating than sensory gratification. Food is needed to provide the nutrients required for the maintenance of normal structure and function of the body. Digestion can never serve its purpose without the body absorbing the nutrients it needs to maintain life. These nutrients however come in various types and forms and that an ideal amount of each should be taken to achieve the body’s optimum functioning. Yes, we may eat whatever is available at any amount we want without undermining the results those foods shall give to our body, but eventually, our physical body will complain in the form of diseases. Although nutrients can work alone, each depends upon the others to be the most effective. The main nutrients are the macronutrients such as carbohydrates, proteins and fats; and the micronutrients: vitamins and minerals. . Macronutrients Macronutrients as its name implies are the molecules that are needed by the body in big amounts. They occupy the biggest portion of the nutrients absorbed by the body from the food that was eaten. 1. Carbohydrates Carbohydrates mean carbon with water. Plants use sunlight in the process of photosynthesis to convert water and carbon dioxide into carbohydrates and oxygen. When our body needs energy, it looks for carbohydrates first. Carbohydrates come in two forms: simple and complex. Both...
