...Science in Hospitality Management and Tourism (BSHMT) program of the City College of Tagaytay (CCT). It is intended to provide students learning experiences and the application of knowledge and skills in hospitality industry settings. The practicum is a co-operative education which aims to achieve an effective blend of classroom study and off-campus work experience in hospitality-related industry. The goal of the practicum is to prepare the student for competent and responsible practice. A successful practicum is one that achieves that goal. The BSHMT program of the City College of Tagaytay considers the practicum training to be among the most important professional preparation activities in which BSHMT students participate. Practicum experiences are intended to allow students to synthesize, apply and refine knowledge and skills learned in their academic experiences. In addition, practicum experiences are one of the primary ways in which department faculty members can observe and evaluate the skills of the student. Because of the importance of students’ practicum, the Department requires the student-trainee to prepare a narrative report of his practicum experiences in hospitality industry. This report was based on the student’s training experiences at the following establishments: Taal Vista Hotel, Taj of Tagaytay and Massimos Ristorante Italiano during the second semester of year 2007-2008 in Tagaytay City, Cavite, Philippines as a prerequisite for the subject HMT 12–Practicum...

...Source BBC: Adolf Eichmann did not work hard or do well at school and left without any qualifications. His father, who had meanwhile started an oil-extraction business, gave him a job. Eichmann worked on the surface and in underground oil-shale tunnels before moving to an apprenticeship with an electrical engineering firm. In 1927 his father used family contacts to get him a job with another oil company. Little attention has been paid to Eichmann's work experience, but it had a significant bearing on his career in the SS. Eichmann was adept at learning practical skills on the job, under the tutelage of seniors he respected. While he continued to live at home, he ranged over Upper Austria selling oil products, locating sites for petrol stations, and setting them up. He also arranged kerosene deliveries. On Saturday he conscientiously completed his paperwork and reported to his superiors. Eichmann did well and was transferred to the Salzburg district. But by 1933 he had tired of the job and, anyway, was laid off. He had learned a lot, though: how to identify prime sites at communication junctions, how to timetable and organise deliveries, how to sell a product and persuade people to do your bidding. During his trial he pretended to be apolitical, but Eichmann came from a strongly German nationalist family. Like many Germans his father lost his wealth during the post-war economic crisis and had the embittering experience of starting all over again. He enrolled his son in the...

...of Vermont, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of niIaster of Education, specializing in Interdisciplinary Studies. Thesis Examination Committee: . 2 M d Johnson, 111, D.P.A. ,G!krMb. %.&I;-; Patricia A. Stokowski, Ph. D Interim Dean, Graduate College Date: March 4,2009 ABSTRACT The humanities have always been under attack in the higher education of the United States of America. Corporate culture of the university requires the most money distributed towards research and specialization, while making employability of the graduates the main goal of education. With two thirds of all majors being in business and finance, humanities don’t seem to play a big role in higher education overall. This work makes an attempt in defense of liberal arts education to our students, and the importance of teaching the subjects like English, Literature and Philosophy independent of a student’s major concentration. Even in our age of specialized and corporatized education, these courses are of great importance. These subjects can help young people find their way in this confusing web of life weaved out of pressure, expectations, failures, problems, fears. What other fields of study can teach them about history of cultures and languages, people who made history; who made contribution to the world in art, literature and science; what young people can learn from them. But most importantly, how to raise questions about life in...

...A voice cannot carry the tongue and the lips that gave it wing. Alone it must seek the ether. -Kahalil Gibran Preface December 16th, 2025 This is a book about Babu Bangladesh. This is about a man popularly known to many of us, as simply Babu. Chances are that many of you across the world encountered his name in media reports about a decade ago. International spotlights turned toward him sometime around 2005, resting on him awhile before his disappearance in 2017. Babu gained repute as a dashing environmentalist, and as an advocate of sustainable development practices in poverty stricken economies. While he is now overlooked by mainstream and gulfstream eyes, collegiate programs, left-leaning organizations, and ecological societies scattered over every continent note his initiatives. Vigilant followers might catch a glimpse of Babu’s likeness flash across the massive LED screens at U2 concerts. Thich Nhat Hanh, Arundhati Roy, and Cornel West have publicly quoted him. It is even believed that when Hillary Clinton visited Bangladesh in late 2017, she voiced strong concerns over the troubling details of Babu’s vanishing act. Female rock-star, Gwen Stefani is said to sport a tattoo on her left buttock that closely resembles Babu, but due to the artist’s weight gain between 2019 and 2022, it is difficult to confirm the likeness. In Bangladesh, Babu is remembered as a writer, politician, and as somewhat of a mystic. Depending on the nature of their interactions...

Our findings showed that handheld tools enhanced both students’ attitudes and performance in learning, and promoted better interactions among students and instructors. We also found that the handheld technology was not sophisticated enough to support cooperative learning goals without full support from a technology specialist. collaboration, empirical, handhelds, ICT use, nursing, post-secondary. Keywords Introduction With recent advances in wireless communication technology and mobile devices, the application of handheld technology in education is expected to increase. Handhelds, also known as palmtop computers, were originally designed as personal organizers or note takers, and now offers roughly the same functionalities as laptop or desktop computers. It can be synchronized with or connected to computers or networks via wireless technology. Research has shown that wireless handhelds offer new opportunities for innovative user interaction and communication both in and out of the classroom (Tatar et al. 2003). Wireless handhelds have provided a unique opportunity for...

More Praise for The Secret Language of Leadership “Out of the morass of strategies leaders are given to transform organizations, Denning plucks a powerful one—storytelling— and shows how and why it works.” —Dorothy Leonard, William J. Abernathy Professor of Business, Emerita, Harvard Business School, and author, Deep Smarts: How to Cultivate and Transfer Enduring Business Wisdom “The Secret Language of Leadership shows why narrative intelligence is central to transformational leadership and how to harness its power.” —Carol Pearson, director, James MacGregor Burns Academy of Leadership, University of Maryland, and coauthor, The Hero and the Outlaw “The Secret Language of Leadership is not only the best analysis I have seen of how and why leaders succeed or fail, it’s highly readable, as well as downright practical. It should be mandatory reading for anyone interested in engaging a company with big ideas who understands that leaders live and die by the quality of what they say.” —Richard Stone, story analytics master, i.d.e.a.s “A primary role of leaders is to create and maintain meaning for their organizations.

...family from the Halwai caste, a caste that indicates sweet-makers. The village is dominated and oppressed by the “Four Animals,” four landlords known as the Wild Boar, the Stork, the Buffalo, and the Raven. Balram's father is a struggling rickshaw driver, and his mother died when he is young. The alpha figure of his family was his pushy grandmother, Kusum. Balram was initially referred to simply as “Munna,” meaning “boy," since his family had not bothered to name him. He did not have another name until his schoolteacher dubbed him Balram. The boy proved himself intelligent and talented, and was praised one day as a rare “White Tiger” by a visiting school inspector. Unfortunately, Balram was removed from school after only a few years, to work in a tea shop with his brother, Kishan. There, he furthered his education by eavesdropping on the conversations of shop customers. Balram feels that there are two Indias: the impoverished “Darkness” of the rural inner continent, and the “Light” of urban coastal India. A mechanism that he dubs the “Rooster Coop” traps the Indian underclass in a perpetual state of servitude. It involves both deliberate methods used by the upper class and a mentality enforced by the underclass on itself. Balram’s father died from tuberculosis in a decrepit...

Abstract Ownership of mobile smartphones amongst the general consumer, professionals and students is growing exponentially.

This paper reports on a collaborative study conducted by an undergraduate student with the support of two members of academic staff. The research sought to establish...
