...Personal Statement The enthusiasm I have for the sciences- especially chemistry, encouraged me to think about my future career and how a chemistry-related degree could be a possibility for me. My true passion lies in helping others in a safe and effective way through the use of innovative pharmaceutical medicines. I have become inspired by a personal ambition of becoming a Pharmacist as I aspire to improve people's daily lives. Ever since learning the fundamentals of chemistry, I knew this was the pathway I would follow. Chemistry at A-level has developed my understanding of the atomic structure, bonding and chemical mechanisms which I believe are elementary to studying Pharmacy. Its ensuing impulsion has also catalysed my grasping the biochemistry of biological molecules, such as enzymes in Biology. I have immensely enjoyed learning about the function of antibiotics in inhibiting the growth of bacteria, although bacterial resistance is still proving to be a huge problem for treating such infections. Laboratory experiments in both courses have greatly enhanced my practical and analytical skills. Equally, Physics and its application have improved my logical thinking, problem solving and data analysis skills. During the holidays, I spent a week shadowing a Pharmacist and dealing with different prescriptions, including giving advice to the patients and staff management, a challenging and intriguing experience which showed me how immensely cumbersome the Pharmacist's job...

...questions of different aspects in management and leadership. These behaviors are called competencies. According to the report, “competencies are sets of behaviors or behavioural repertoires encompassing skills, knowledge, abilities, and personal attributes.” As I was reading the questions, I did my best to answer them honestly so I can get the most accurate results possible. This is what I have learned. The most important thing that I have learned and which is also stated in the ‘Introduction” section is that, “Psychological test do not measure the whole you which is why they need to be interpreted in the context of other information about you.” With that in mind, I have reviewed and analyzed the report to see if it truly reflects my current management and leadership styles and behaviors. In the section titled, “Leadership Level,” my scores ranged from 5 to 8 with the average score of 6 on the CLQ key factor scale. This indicated that based on my responses, I’m just as effective as the average manager. The CLQ report suggested that I need to improve my management competencies and skills to have a competitive edge which will prepare me for more challenging management and leadership positions. I absolutely agree with this finding. Currently as a personal banker, I lack the ability to grow and improve my management skills because my current job description does not emphasize team work and group effort but rather promotes individual achievement and performance. For example, the section...

...Instructions for filling in the Europass CV Before you start: Five basic principles for a good CV 1. Concentrate on the essentials • Employers generally spend less than one minute reading a CV before deciding to reject it, or to shortlist it for detailed consideration. If you fail to make the right impact, you missed your chance. • If applying for an advertised vacancy, always ensure that you comply with any application process entirely. The vacancy notice might specify: how to apply (CV, application form, online application), the length and/or format of the CV, whether a covering letter is required, etc. • Be brief: two A4 pages are usually more than enough, irrespective of your education or experience. Do not exceed three pages. If you hold a degree, include your secondary school qualifications only if relevant to the job in question. • Is your work experience limited? Describe your education and training first; highlight volunteering activities and placements or traineeships. 2. Be clear and concise • Use short sentences. Avoid clichés. Concentrate on the relevant aspects of your training and work experience. • Give specific examples. Quantify your achievements. • Update your CV as your experience develops. Don’t hesitate to remove old information if it does not add value for the position. 3. Always adapt your CV to suit the post you are applying for • Highlight your strengths according to the needs of the employer and focus on the skills that match...

Moringa, also known as the Miracle Tree, is a multipurpose plant, as the leaves, pods, fruits, flowers, roots and bark of the tree can be utilized. It is also referred to as Drumstick Tree by the Britishers. In the Philippines, they are referred to as Malunggay or Malungay. Others refer to moringa as horseradish tree, benzolive tree, kelor, marango, mlonge, moonga, nébéday, saijhan, sajna or Ben oil tree. Research had shown that ounce for ounce of Moringa leaves contain seven times the Vitamin C found in oranges, four times the Vitamin A found in carrots, four times the calcium found in milk, three times the potassium found in bananas and two times the protein found in yogurt.For this reason, it has putMoringa as the most nutritious vegetable plant around and has been used as fortificant in noodles, bread, biscuits, delicacies, burgers, hot dogs.

A corporation ling its rst return must annualize its income if the tax period is less than 12 months. A taxable year may be as short as one day and may exceed 366 days. Under no circumstances may a corporation change its scal year without IRS permission. A taxpayer engaged in two or more separate and distinct businesses may use different accounting methods for both businesses. A grocery store may use the cash basis of reporting sales. In general, a CPA on the cash basis method will never have a bad debt deduction. A cash basis taxpayer may deduct prepaid business expenses currently. Both cash and accrual basis taxpayers will be taxed on a dividend when it is actually received. Computing cost of goods soldand being on the accrual basis are independent of each other. If, in the IRSs opinion, the taxpayers books do not clearly reect income, the IRS may revise them so that they do. Taxpayers must generally obtain the permission of the IRS to change accounting methods. A correction of an error in a tax return is usually considered a change in accounting method. The IRS can require a change in accounting methods if the method used by a taxpayer does not clearly reect income. IRS permission is not required for a change from FIFO to LIFO. The installment method cannot be used unless the total selling price...

...These pages were downloaded from Writing Personal Statements Online, available at https://www.e-education.psu.edu/writingpersonalstatementsonline/ Short Personal Statement by a Geology Student Growing up in Canada with a life-long fascination for Canadian geography, I have always been interested in returning to the country. Although my family moved to the US before I entered high school, I have always kept my eyes turned north, especially in recent years as I began to read journal articles about research conducted on John Evans Glacier, located about 80° N latitude. Graduating next semester with a B.S. in computer science and engineering and a minor in geographic information systems, I am interested in attending the University of Alberta for graduate study. Geographic information systems (GIS) is a field especially suited to investigating spatial patterns, modeling diverse scenarios, and overlaying spatial data. This semester, in my advanced GIS course, Spatial Data Structures and Algorithms, I am part of a team developing a temporal database and program for tracing historical trading data. My computer science skills have also been put to use in two summer internship projects, where I acquired proficiency with using LIDAR (light detection and ranging) technology, now favored by NASA in its current 10-year study of Greenland and changes in the ice cap extent. Through my coursework and project experience, I have also accrued skills...

...SINGAPORE MASS RAPID TRANSIT: GOING OFF TRACK On January, 2012, Singapore Mass Rapid Transit (SMRT) Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Phaik Hwa Saw, resigned from her position after two major breakdowns on the North-South Line in December 2011. SMRT was a public transport operator in Singapore, with a transportation network that comprised buses, trains and taxis. The two breakdowns were arguably the largest public transportation incidents in Singapore’s history, occurring two days apart and affecting more than 220,000 commuters. Widespread public outrage ensued, with heavy criticism of Saw for the breakdowns and her mismanagement of the corporation. Prior to the incidents, Saw’s tenure as CEO had been associated with a particularly prosperous period in the history of SMRT. She had successfully navigated SMRT through its post-merger transition process and achieved a significant growth in profits. She had also transformed SMRT from a company focusing solely on transportation to one that provided all-around service and transportation to commuters. Why did Saw become the target of public discontent? Were the breakdowns a result of her lack of ability to lead SMRT effectively? LEADERSHIP HISTORY Prior to Saw’s appointment in December 2002, SMRT had been traditionally led by men with engineering backgrounds and experience in military or public service. SMRT was first led by Leong Geok Lim, who had a degree in engineering. He was widely...

...9-807-027 REV: AUGUST 1, 2008 ROBERT F. HIGGINS VIRGINIA A. FULLER NatuRi Corporation In February 2006, Aravind Cherukuri and Kartik Natarajan were reviewing their options for raising capital for NatuRi Corporation, the company they had founded together in 2005. With operations split between Chennai, India, and Boston, Massachusetts, NatuRi had developed a biological compound that showed promising effects in cholesterol management. The compound, discovered by Aravind’s mother, biological scientist Rukmini Cheruvanki, was derived from the byproducts of rice bran oil (RBO) production. Early animal trials had demonstrated that the compound was effective in lowering “bad” cholesterol while simultaneously increasing levels of “good” cholesterol. If manufactured for human ingestion, the compound would provide a natural alternative to synthesized cholesterol-lowering drugs on the market. Although NatuRi was still in the start-up stage, it had captured the attention of at least four potential investors willing to offer a seed investment. Having just received a term sheet from Waltham Partners, a well-known East Coast venture capital firm, Aravind and Kartik were now forced to weigh their options and determine which of the four potential investors currently interested in their venture would be most appropriate for NatuRi’s future growth. Their funding decision for this stage would also impact options for later rounds of funding. The duo had to decide on NatuRi’s ...
