...spreadsheet modelling and its implementation. As according to (Susan Coles, Jennifer Rowley, 1996) “The decision maker’s judgement must be exercised in the interpretation of the data and the final decision making.” There is no better way of benefiting my future career than developing advanced skills in modelling Excel. As I have learned from few articles I read about this subject, there are many advantages of excelling my skills so as problems I should look out for. Firstly, studying advanced Excel modelling not only helps students to build technological knowledge but “also largely improve their practical analytical skills and abilities.”(Junying, 2010). By studying how to model spreadsheets students get a real chance to see how actual data is analysed by spreadsheet build in models and help them to further their own analytical knowledge and see how it works in real life. I think it is hugely beneficial for students in their further real life working scenarios. As I seen how important and beneficial this study is, the question is why don’t all the users have them skills? And the answer lays with the management. As (Michelle L.F. Cheong , Thin-Yin Leong, 2009) write in their article that business management do not realise the importance of the spreadsheet modelling and so do not put any emphasis on its improvement and...

................................................................................................................................................ 11 09 January 2014 ii ProQuest Document 1 of 1 How Procurement Excellence CREATES VALUE Author: Blascovich, John D; Markham, William J Publication info: Supply Chain Management Review 9.5 (Jul/Aug 2005): 44-52. ProQuest document link Abstract: A.T. Kearney's 2004 "Assessment of Excellence in Procurement" (AEP) study reveals that senior executives expect supply management to go well beyond its traditional role. Rather than focusing on price reductions, executives are challenging the organization to capture value from the supply market. This view represents a huge advance in their understanding of procurement's potential. Nearly all leaders and most followers recognize that the key to their business strategy is value creation. Yet leading organizations use their foundation of excellence to create more value and gain competitive advantage from supply markets by focusing on four key areas: innovation and growth, value chain optimization, risk management and supply continuity, and advanced cost management. Leaders are involving suppliers in a systematic lean-design approach that leverages the supply base and aggressively identifies waste. Companies that are truly serious about cost reduction exert pressure not only on suppliers but also on themselves, through...

...Abstract Disasters have devastating and severe acute and long-term consequences for individuals and communities. The paper expounds on the social ramifications of disasters, while highlighting a disaster’s effects in vulnerable populations. The collaborative actions of communities, governments, public health, media, and health professionals are also depicted in the paper. Lastly, implications for Advanced Practice Nurses concerning leadership, involvement in public policy and education, and development of advanced disaster planning are illustrated. Keywords: disaster, disaster response and planning, social ramifications, advanced practice nursing. Disaster--the term itself invokes feelings of dread, despair, and devastation. Furthermore, the effects of disasters on human condition are far-reaching and unpredictable. For health care professionals, disaster preparedness and response entails an understanding of the socio-economic issues and the collective responsibilities of multiple agencies when a disaster strikes. Disasters affect individuals, families, societies, and communities, with little time for any warning or preparation.1 The collective obligations of government, communities, hospitals, and medical professionals are underscored during this trying time. Introduction What is a disaster? Calamity, catastrophe, tragedy, are just some of the words uttered when a disaster occurs.

...End of Life Essay It is very important for people to discuss and manage end of life issues. There are many issues that may need to have resolutions such as life support, curative vs symptom management, courses of treatment. Other issues such as burial plots and funeral arrangements. I have found that many people feel they have more time to discuss end of life issues. They feel that they have plenty of time to discuss their wants and wishes for the death and dying process with their loved ones. It is very important to discuss end of life issues with your significant others, spouses, children because one never knows when the end of life issues may come up. Maybe it is a young mother diagnoses with stage 4 ovarian cancer. Maybe it’s a 76 year old male patient that feels that while he has lived a good life, it is never enough time. Or it could be a 16 year old teenage girl that had a soft tissue sarcoma that wasn’t diagnosed until it had metastases all over her body. I have taken care of all of these patients. It is never too early to discuss end of life issues, but sometimes it can be too late. Death is very personalized such as life. It is important that the individual is allowed to pass in a manner that is important to them and to feel that they have taken care of issues that they may feel need to be resolved. We might think that we know what our loved ones want, but it could be very different from what they actually want. For example we may think that our...

...The United Energy Smart Meter Project At the request of the Victorian Government United Energy is currently engaging in “best efforts” to replace the analogue meters on its network with smart meters. Smart meters are an advanced energy meter that measures the energy consumption of a consumer (Depuru, Wang and Devabhaktuni 2011), they allow for demand response energy distribution based on on-peak and off-peak consumption. The benefits of Smart meters are well recognised by many counties with world-wide deployment of digital meters expected to reach 212 million units by 2014, perceived benefits include; energy efficiency, environmental benefits, more consumer choice, better services and greater market competition. (Gerwen, Jaarsma & Wilhite R 2009, Filippini, Hrovatin & Zoric 2004, Victorian Auditor General 2009) About United Energy United Energy is an energy distributor responsible for the infrastructure required to distribute energy from the power station to the consumer. There are currently 16 major distribution networks in Australia with each energy distributor maintaining a monopoly over its designated area. (AEC 2009) Energy distributors own, operate and maintain the network of infrastructure that transports electricity from the generator to the consumer. They do not work directly with the consumer and instead work with energy retailers who are responsible for managing the relationship with the consumer. Energy retailers will bulk purchase energy from an energy...
