English-lanuage newspapers such as 24 and Metro and French language papers such as Montreal’s 24 heures have transformed the economics and geographical bases of the newspaper industry.

Free commuter newspapers are embraced by some industry analysts as a solution to the declining circulation of traditionally daily newspapers, particular insofar as they attract...

Prepared under the supervision of Dr. Jennypher N. Fenomeno. INTRODUCTION Informal types of cooperatives are as old as human history. Whenever people come together voluntarily to help one another by providing a group service, they actually had a simple form of cooperative. But the cooperative movement as we know it today had its beginnings in Europe during the modern times as a result of the Industrial Revolution. In several European countries, the first cooperatives were organized by workingman who were seeking to change the wretched conditions brought about by the new age of machine and factory production that began in England two hundred years ago, and soon after in other countries. In England, the weavers and the other workers in the textile industry were the hardest hit, and they were among the first to organize cooperatives for the purpose of improving their desperate economic and social conditions (San Gabriel, 2010). The International Co-operative Alliance mentioned that Cooperative is an autonomous association of persons united voluntarily to meet their common economic, social, and cultural...

...CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1) Background of the Study Earthquake is very evident in the Philippines since this country has various volcanoes that are active in which this country located in the Pacific ring of fire wherein continuous series of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur in the basin of the Pacific Ocean. There are already many records of strong earthquakes that happened especially in the most populated region of Philippines, National Capital Region (NCR), where casualty reports due to the damage and collapse of structures are about 34,000 people recorded after the strike of Casiguran Earthquake with magnitude 7.2 which landed in Metro Manila in 1968. Considering the event, people nowadays are less concerned about lifelines like bridges as they focus on the danger that vertical structure’s failure can lead to while people are lacking of preparedness and assessment. Bridges allows people to move from remote location by connecting them therefore these play important role in the society (Imhof, 2004). Regarding this, when bridges matter it is subjected to Seismic loading where it is one of the basic concepts of earthquake engineering there are factors to consider like the people who use the bridge and the residents nearby to attain the safety at all cost. Retrofitting is the strengthening of the bridges’ foundation by driving additional piles and reinforcing its columns thus there will be the increase of strength of the foundation.

...cycles, 35,000 taxis and 17,000 busses. To make things worse there are also 1,000 new cars added a day. There have been traffic jams stretching up to 293 km of traffic. Naturally, with numbers like these there is bound to be some traffic. However, there are also 19,000 trucks that pass through Sao Paulo every day. These trucks cause damage to roads and therefore, cause a chain of reaction ending in increased traffic. Of course, the government of Brazil has made effort to help reduce traffic congestion. They have introduced fast-lane buss systems. Some of which are even connected to the metro. Road space rationing is also present; each car has to be kept off the street during rush hour one day each week. Certain license numbers are restricted from using the roads during peak times. There is an estimated 6 million people that use the subway system; the government has spent $10 billion to expand the metro. Sao Paulo Brazil also has one of the highest rates of air traffic. They have provided helicopters for government officials and busy executives. However, we have some suggestions that we believe would reduce the traffic even more. Firstly, air traffic should be made more accessible to a wider number/variance of people. We have worked out that it can cost up to $5,600 for a two way trip (hourly rate) on a helicopter (1,400 an hour and 350 for each take-off and landing). Our suggestion is for the government to subsidise the company (or another) ‘LRC-air taxi’. If the private company...
