Borromeo, John Philip T. Sumpay, Jonathan S. September 2015 Common Vices of Maritime Education Students in Mariners Polytechnic Colleges Foundation: A Criticism Introduction Teen agers worldwide especially students in colleges have higher rate of having a vices in their life. There is undoubtedly much truth in this view. Large colleges certainly have a large ratio of dissolute or, put it less harshly, wild-students than smaller institutions. But this can be truthfully said of their vices. They are more gentlemanly and less vulgar than those practiced in country colleges. College students are commonly in desire to have fun. With this, one of the most usual thing college students do to have fun is through engaging in vices usually with peers. They have more affection and respect for their Alma Mater-more esprit de corps-more urbane manners. Students however, are not a class subgenres. They are what their instincts and surroundings make them. In the Philippines, there are many Colleges and Universities who are fully functional and outstanding in the field of Education.

...As one of the earliest settlement areas in North America, the Maritime region has been an emblem of heritage roots throughout the course of Canadian history. Often referred to as a symbol of regional sovereignty, historians have labelled the Maritimes as a pioneer of the earliest commerce and trade activities. It is for this very reason that many have alluded to the Golden Ages of the Maritimes, a period marked by regional economic growth. With a pre-existing maturity in the fishing, logging, farming, and shipping industries, the technological improvements brought by industrialization at the turn of the 19th century led to the boom of industrial bases for steel and coal markets. This enabled the three provinces to capitulate their geographical advantage since the area was abundant in coal deposits, and lead to one of the wealthiest expansions in Maritime history. As Acheson famously points out, the local attitude was that despite transportation problems, it would still become the industrial centre of Canada because only it had commercially viable iron and coal deposits, and only it could control Montreal fuel resources. Why then, did the end of an era dominated by manufacturing lead to an economic stagnation that left a permanent imprint over the course of the century? Over the years, historians and economists alike have deemed a variety of factors as accountable for the general economic backwardness that prevailed. While some of these academic research pose contradictions amongst...

...One of the most important tips for parents to help their kids do better at school is to establish a daily routine. A successful school day begins the morning before school. Actually, success begins the previous night. Homework should be completed, put in the correct notebook or folder, and packed to take to school. To find them easily the next morning, backpacks and anything else needed for school should be kept in the same place. Children do better in school when families eat dinner together. This time allows family members to discuss the day. Dinner is an excellent time to talk about worries or problems and think about possible solutions. Your child will benefit from open communication during this family ritual. The night before a school day provides more time to lay out clothes for the morning. Doing this helps avoid rushing to get dressed and eat breakfast before school. Parents especially need to be firm about going to bed and getting up on time. Older children should use alarm clocks and be held responsible for waking up and getting ready for the day. Share Information with Teachers and School Staff Teachers need to know that parents are interested in their child’s education. Parents should show this interest at the beginning of the school year. Become acquainted with your child’s teacher and other staff. Attend school events as much as possible. These activities provide opportunities to ask questions about teaching methods and what your child will be learning. A...

...Unit 27 – Understanding Health and safety in the Business Workplace P1/M1– All work places need to ensure the health and safety of their employees, customers and any persons who will be entering the premises of a business. Businesses have a legal obligation to do so therefore Legal requirements have to be met and guidelines to be followed such as COSHH, RIDDOR, COMAH and other safety factors have to be followed. Legislations such as the Health and Safety Act 1974 ensured that all employers would have certain duties they must perform toward their employees and customers and what duties employees would have with other employees and customers, This act did not state that employers would have to take action in reducing any risks in the work place if it impossible or that the time, cost or trouble involved outweighed the risk. This Act just ensures businesses have good management and tackle any risks that occur in a sensible manner, unlike the next legislation. The Health and Safety at work Act 1999 ensure business follow guidelines implemented by the law. It gives more explicit instructions on what employers and employees must do within with workplace to keep it a healthy and safe environment. This Act states that A business or employer must do everything they can to reduce the Risk of any injury to an employee.

...Introduction The purpose of this essay, based on the two articles concerning the mounting of the Dieppe Raid in 1942 is to compare and evaluate how each of the articles approaches the subject matter. Find out how the authors differ in their interpretation, and why do they arrive at different conclusions. This paper discusses the ways that war is portrayed in the articles. It specifically discusses and compares two article pieces that reflect the heavy weight of the Raid on Dieppe. Also, in my thesis, I will explain which interpretation I find the most persuasive. Narrative In the planning of the Raid on Dieppe Peter Henshaw stated in his article that there was no denying that Canadian had no involvement in the planning and that the British were doing it all. Here is what Henshaw said: “the operation was conceived, planned, and launched under the direction of the British officers as part of a wider strategy that Canadians had played practically no part in formulating.”[1] This is what Brian Loring Villa stated in his article that “The stubborn fact remains that at every important stage of the planning process McNaughton personally reviewed the work product and registered his approval under the authority delegated to him by the Canadian Government”.[2] It leads me to believe that the Canadians were very much involved in the planning of the raid as mentioned in Brian Villa’s book. Who was responsible for the Raid on Dieppe? Peter Henshaw...

GRACIANO C. CONSORIO PCG (Ret) Instructor Submitted by: Group Number 2 I. Introduction The sea is a large body of salt water that is surrounded in whole or in part by land. More broadly, the sea is the interconnected system of Earth's salty, oceanic waters—considered as one global ocean or as several principal oceanic divisions. Moreover, it has served as a home for marine and aquatic environment and also as defined roads for marine transportation in the conduct of trade and civilization. In spite of the glorious facts accounted, the sea was also the venue and sole witness of such tragedies, catastrophes known as maritime incidents. By definition, maritime incident means any occurrence, other than an accident, that is associated with the operation of a ship and effects or could affect the safety of operation. From the initiation of transport at sea up to the present, tremendous accounts of maritime incidents can be noted and such incidents lead to countless loss of lives, property, and the environment. With these adverse effects at hand, major approaches can further explain the importance of such incidents. From a historical approach, the first transport at sea was accounted as trade using small...
