...e * Context and legal responsibilities The EYFS is part of a comprehensive package flowing from the ten year childcare strategy Choice for parents, the best start for children and the landmark Childcare Act 2006. The Act provides the context for the delivery of the EYFS and taken together with the other elements of the strategy, the EYFS will be central to the delivery of the new duties on improving outcomes and reducing inequalities. The EYFS builds on the significant recent developments in early years curriculum and standards. Practitioners will recognise continuity with the principles, pedagogy and approach of the Curriculum Guidance for the Foundation Stage, the Birth to Three Matters framework, and the National Standards for Under 8s Day Care and Childminding. These three frameworks are replaced by the EYFS and will be repealed. The EYFS will be given legal force through an Order and Regulations made under the Childcare Act 2006. From September 2008 it will be mandatory for all schools and providers in Ofsted registered settings attended by young children – that is children from birth to end of the academic year in which a child has his or her fifth birthday. The term “early years provider” includes maintained schools, non-maintained schools, independent schools, and childcare registered by Ofsted on the Early Years Register, all of which are required to meet the EYFS requirements. . It is the legal responsibility of these providers to ensure that their provision...

Many young people are experiencing the consequences of drinking too much, at too early age as a result, at too early age as a result, underage drinking is a leading public health problem in this country. As children move from adolescent to young adulthood, they lifestyle changes, development transition, such as puberty and increasing independent, have been associated with alcohol use. So in a sense, just being an adolescent maybe a key risk factor not only for starting to drink but for drinking dangerously. Drinking at an early age has been associated with later alcoholism and drinking problems in several countries. This has led some people to believe that delaying the age at which young people first drink alcohol might reduce the later incidence of alcohol abuse and alcoholism. That might work if drinking at age actually causes subsequent alcohol problems. ¹ __________________________ ¹ Wikipedia free encyclopedia, internet ------------------------------------------------- However, there is growing evidence that early ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- drinking, in societies not permitting it, is not the cause, but ------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------- only a symptom of...

...Background on the killer Rex Allan Krebs had a shady past many years before he committed the murders of Rachel Newhouse and Aundria Crawford. Rex was from an abusive family. His childhood was very unstable. He suffered abuse from his real father, and then again from his step dad. One instance of clear abuse was when Rex was sent to school wearing a diaper when he was nearly six years old for wetting the bed the night before. In 1987 there was two brutal rapes. The victims had been attacked at night while they slept. Rex had crawled through a window at night to get to his prey. He was sent to prison in 1987 for these two rapes. He was released 10 years early for good behavior. It was found that he did not seek attention for his psycho impulses for fear the other imates would kill him.

...INTRODUCTION Background of the study There are many varied reasons why people works, among them are: have to work and find satisfaction in doing it. They compelled to do it; they feel they must do something, or they work to satisfy their needs. In an organization or institution it makes sense to study and know the attitude and behavior of teachers towards work, because strong attitudes will most likely affect a person’s behavior. Work attitudes of teachers’ are clearly important to organizational, when attitudes are negative; they are both a symptom of underlying problems and contributing cause of forthcoming difficulties in an organization. Declining attitude may result in strikes, work slowdowns, absences and employee turnover. They may also be a part of grievances, low performance, poor product quality, and disciplinary problems. The organization cost associated with poor employee attitudes may severely reduce an organization’s competitiveness. It is useful to monitor and understand teachers’ attitudes and behavior towards work satisfaction. Relevant information by employing survey will be beneficial to school manager and stakeholders. Employees’ report their feelings toward their jobs satisfaction and work environment, its statistical generated through survey feedback are better conclusion to the existing human resource data.

...Chapter I INTRODUCTION Background of the Study Computers are ubiquitous. As computers have become less expensive they have been purchased by more and more families for their homes. Because of this, many children begin to use computers at an early age. Even if computers are not available in their home, children almost certainly will begin to come into contact with computers in school. Some adults are amazed by how readily young children use computers. Many children find that using computers gives them a sense of power and accomplishment. And, unlike many adults whose first or primary contact with computers is work related, most children first use computers for entertainment purposes and games. This is by no means the only use that children have for computers. Because computer use is promoted in schools, and because computers are so ubiquitous, children have a great deal of exposure to them. Not everyone, however, is comfortable with the use of computers by young children. Some, including the Alliance for Childhood, have called for a halt to the use of computers by young children. Such groups cite the costs as well as possible health effects that using computers may have on children. The true impact that early computer use has on children is uncertain. Even though there is not enough information to state authoritatively that computers have any negative effects on children, the possible adverse effects that have been cited are serious...

...Chapter 1 THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING Introduction Learning can be immensely gratifying, but studying usually involves hard work. The primary step towards effective study habits is to face up to this reality. One need not feel guilty if one doesn’t look forward to studying. Once an individual accepts the premise that studying doesn’t come naturally, it should be apparent that one needs to set up an organized program to promote adequate study. Learning how to study is really a long-term process. As one goes on studying, one finds more techniques and methods that offer new information leading one on an interesting and successful direction. So, learning how to study or to develop good study habits is a lifelong process, and one should be ready to modify one’s method of study according to the need of the time. The development of good study habits is the highway to the goals of an individual, whatever they are. A simple, small change in study habits makes a big difference in goal setting and organization of one’s life. The success of an individual depends upon his study habits. Education is the manifestation of perfection already existing in man. The tool enabling this manifestation is study habits. In order to improve the quality of education we must develop certain innovative strategies, which will enhance the educational standards. In addition to that from the student’s side there must be some important steps, which form the basis for their academic achievement. Students’ needs...

...and font size 12) A) Identify two potential and viable target markets for your product/service. (Make sure that at least three different segmentation variables (see Table 8.1 on page 246 of the text) are represented in your profiles (=descriptions) of each segment. Guidance: Remember that a target market profile is a statement of the description of the group of consumers that you will be targeting. This should be expressed in one or two sentences, and should include an array of descriptive representing at least three of the four categories of segmentation variables we learn in the course. After the complete profile is presented (i.e. in one or two sentences), the treatment here should direct itself to explicitly showing how each category is represented. Make sure that the profiles presented are quite distinct from one another. (N.B. Should the team choose a business-to-business good/service for the project, they will have to familiarize themselves with the array of segmentation variable categories for business-to-business products) The first potential target market would be Canadian males and females aged between the ages of 20 to 34. Those persons are either single or in a relationship, not married, with each an average of 20 000$ to 29 999$ a year, and are outgoing in their daily lives. The reason we’ve decided to target this market is because nowadays, many young adults feel that their choices need to be displayed to their environment, and to their circle of people. Because...

Student‟s Signature: ____ Instructor‟s Grade on Assignment: Instructor‟s Comments: INTRODUCTION The following analysis is based upon The Well Paid Receptionist case research. The case describes the early beginning of a company in which the founder/owner of the company hired as his first employee a receptionist. She had the profile to embody the job required by the owner. The salary the owner presented to the receptionist of $14,000 was lower than what she had perceived over the past years, but she was offered a percentage over the sales. As the company grew expanding and adapting to newer markets, over the years the sales also grew with a steady rate. In the third year of the company the owner expanded to the computer market causing a solid growth in the company, creating new key positions including a comptroller. Due to the addition of different computer line, services for all products carried, attention for business customers, walk-in retail...

...many forms like blogs, microblogs, forums and many others. Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr are one of the many social networks that are well-known. The potential for computer networking to facilitate newly improved forms of computer-mediated social interaction was suggested early on. Efforts to support social networks via computer-mediated communication were made in many early online services, including Usenet, ARPANET, LISTSERV, and bulletin board services (BBS). Many prototypical features of social networking sites were also present in online services such as America Online, Prodigy, CompuServe, ChatNet, and The WELL. Early social networking on the World Wide Web began in the form of generalized online communities such as Theglobe.com (1995), Geocities (1994) and Tripod.com (1995). Many of these early communities focused on bringing people together to interact with each other through chat rooms, and encouraged users to share personal information and ideas via personal webpages by providing easy-to-use publishing tools and free or inexpensive webspace. Some communities - such as Classmates.com - took a different approach by simply having people link to each other via email addresses. In the late 1990s, user profiles became a central feature of social networking sites, allowing users to compile lists of "friends" and search for other users with similar interests. New social networking methods were developed by the end of the 1990s and many sites began to develop more advanced features...
