...The Brant Haldimand Norfolk Catholic District School Board should accept the proposal to make the school calendar year-round due to the mental health, grades and breaks. Firstly, I feel as if the proposal to turn our board into year-round schooling due to the mental health of students. If breaks are more frequent, students would feel less overwhelmed about forgetting things that were taught and there would be less worry due to shorter waits for breaks. It is also preparing the students for high school, if in elementary school right now, with the feel of semesters. The frequent breaks would free up time for relaxing and extra curricular activities. There would be less stress about missing lessons, tests and presentations due to tournaments since no classes would be missed during that time. Also, the excitement for breaks would help relax and preserve their mental state due to less stress. It would also give high school students, in our board, a chance to get part-time jobs during the breaks to already start saving. This would help reduce stress for them in the future. Therefore, accepting the proposal for year-round schooling would be very beneficial...

...Communication for Development: Achieving the Millennium Development Goals The 10th interagency round table on communication for development UNESCO’s proposal Background Since 1988, when it first started, the interagency round table on communication for development was conceived as an informal gathering of UN agencies later expanding its outreach to NGOs, international organizations, academia, donors, and communication practitioners. The importance of communication in the development process has been acknowledged for many years by the development community. In the past decade alone, communication for development has been widely discussed in relation to specific development challenges such as HIV and AIDS but also in the broad sense often revisiting the difficulties of communicating sustainable development. The use of the terminology “communication for development” is often a subject of debate and for this reason the working definition shall be guided by Article 6, UN General Assembly Resolution 51/172, which “stresses the need to support two-way communication systems that enable dialogue and that allow communities to speak out, express their aspirations and concerns and participate in the decisions that relate to their development.” The main objective of the round table, within the framework of A/RES/51/172, is to ensure understanding among the UN agencies regarding the implementation of programmes and projects that contribute to communication for development...

...Mrs. Yarow A Proposal for Drug Testing of Community College Athletes To be the best in America today is often to some people the only thing that matters. This is especially true in the world of sports where big money and big egos are constantly waging battle to show who is the best and the biggest. Often times however there are those athletes who want to take things a step further, and that means steroids. It is for this reason that we believe that in the spirit of fair competition, community college athletes should be tested for performance enhancing drugs deemed illegal by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). In this day and age, athletes have become some of the most respected and sought out members of our society. Salaries of professional athletes are constantly skyrocketing to new levels, while the growing fan base continues to support it. Why have sports become so intriguing to our society? Perhaps it is the fact that athletes are bigger, stronger, and faster than ever before. They can perform at a much more competitive level and achieve previously unattainable goals. Some of this can be contributed to the evolution of man and sports, but many concede that performance enhancing drugs seem to raise the standard of excellence for many athletes. College athletes must deal with the pressure of using drugs to compete at a higher level. The NCAA is the governing body of all college athletics and is responsible for the drug program. Each year the NCAA publishes...

...the document. Type the abstract of the document here. The abstract is typically a short summary of the contents of the document.] | It can be easily argued that we are currently living in a culture of violence. As we watch, read or listen to the news; daily incidents of individuals becoming victims of gun violence trumps the headlines. With tragic incidents such as the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre in Newtown, Connecticut that occurred in December of 2012, as well as the mass shooting in Aurora, Colorado in July of 2012 occurring less than six months away from each other, prompted debate on a national level regarding the importance of gun control and mental illness. Other highly publicized mass shootings, such as the one that occurred in Tucson, Arizona in January of 2011, involving former US Representative Gabrielle Giffords and the mass shooting at Virginia Tech, along with the two events mentioned above, “all shared two common characteristics: all four shooters were mentally ill, and all four used guns with large capacity magazines, allowing them to fire multiple rounds of ammunition without reloading (Barry, 2013).” As the Second Amendment guarantees an individual’s right to bear arms, the issue at hand is: how can the government prevent guns from landing in the wrong hands, while at the same time, providing better mental health services for those in need. In this paper, I will explore and compare the agenda setting process regarding two landmark gun control...

...Project Proposal Michael Ball I am proposing a new indoor theme park to be built in Westchester County that would be opened year round even during the cold winter months. This theme park would have similar rides that an outdoor theme park would have such as roller coasters and a ferris wheel. Patron The person who will be funding this project is Westchester County executive Rob Astorino. I believe he would be willing to fund this project because he has signed agreements to help keep Playland, Westchester’s outdoor amusement park, in business. Population Families who live in Westchester County will benefit from this project. While Playland and other outdoor amusement parks are only open during the warmer months, this indoor amusement park will be open year round no matter what the weather is. It will be open every day except for Christmas and Thanksgiving. Both parents and kids can visit the park after work or school or on the weekends. It will have the same features as an outdoor theme park, just indoors. Problem The main problem for this project is finding space and land in westchester to build an indoor theme park. Another potential problem is attracting enough customers to remain in business as well as having enough employees working at the theme park. Paradigm In order for this project to be successful, I would do some research on other indoor theme parks around the country and see which ones have been popular and why. I also believe we should conduct surveys and...

...Analyst of Sate Higher Education RE: Higher Education Funding for State Universities. Date: November 7, 2014 I. Introduction Higher education is crucial to economic prosperity; it serves as the essential final step for students advancing through our state education system. The skills of a state workforce have grown progressively more important over the last three decades, with increasing educational completion correlated strongly with higher wages. Additionally, a recent study from Georgetown University revealed that approximately 62 percent of jobs will require some form of college education by the year 2018 compared to the mere 28 percent in 1973.1 Nevertheless, regardless of the evidence that college and higher education are essential to our future, Massachusetts has eliminated hundreds of millions of dollars from public higher education funds in recent years. When state support for the university and community college systems is reduced the students in those universities are forced to pay higher tuition and fees. With increasing costs, the amount of money a student must take out in loans also rises. Public higher education funding has suffered numerous dramatic cuts over the past decade. State spending on higher education, including funding for the UMass system, Community Colleges as well as State Universities has declined 31 percent from 2001 to 2013. Although state spending has decreased, the funding needs of these institutions have not. In an effort to make...

...To: William “Bill” Hayes, Athletic Director From: Ronnisha Wilson, Head White Team Cheerleading Coach Date: February 17, 2010 Subject: Cheerleading Practice Facility and Injury Assessment Solution Proposal I am writing to propose that a cheerleading specific facility be built and an athletic trainer be hired specifically for cheerleading. The cheerleading program at WSSU rarely has a safe place to practice and there is rarely an athletic trainer present at the practices. About 95% of our athletes’ injuries have occurred with no athletic trainer present. If another sport has practice during our scheduled practice time, our athletes have to practice in the lobby or outdoors. Cheerleading has become more and more dangerous over the years. It is a contact sport with gymnastics put into stunts and pyramids, and requires tossing athletes into the air. Cheerleading is the cause of catastrophic injuries among high school and college athletes. Being a year round sport adds to the danger of the sport; putting extra demands on the body due to no resting period. Injuries are going to happen, but there are measures the university must take to minimize the amount and severity of injuries from every sport. Many safety guidelines have been suggested by the NCAA, Sports Digest, ACCAA and many others. Some suggestions include: * Cheerleaders should have a medical exam before being allowed to practice. * Cheerleaders should be trained by qualified coaches with safety certifications...

...chose Gun Control or Lack Thereof, I was simply thinking of mass shootings like Aurora, Oak Creek, Newton, and let’s not forget Tucson. When we talk gun control it covers everyone and everything that has to do with, it also covers if anything can be done about it. Personally, I don’t think there is an answer. In the wake of these terrible events however, high ranking political figures, including the President of the U.S has determined that the gun laws in place need of amending. There are many high ranking officials sitting on both sides of this hot topic because Mr. Obama is proposing an amendment to our constitution along with laws that by the time this paper is written may be passed. Do you own a gun? I do. If a killer ran into the school, would security be able to help? Do they even carry weapons? I have owned three weapons, two automatic pistols and one rifle…. All of these guns were obtained illegally. This paper in essence pertains to not just to killers, but keeping illegal guns out of everyone’s hands. There are three main types of guns that are concentrated on when we about talk gun control. There are handguns, rifles, and shotguns. The two categories of guns that we will talk about in this paper are military style assault rifles and automatic handguns. Why? These are the weapons that criminals want and use. Here are some interesting statistics. From February 2004 through February 2010, 1,225 (91%) of firearms and 3 (100%) of explosives were sold to terrorists...

...Rachael Stanford March 4, 2015 The article about columbine and the 5 year old really outraged me because I believe there were signs of trouble before the shooting but I believe the administration and people around them just didn’t pay attention to the boys. Probably saying ‘boys will be boys”. It turned out to be the worst school shooting in history. The article said “A Kentucky mother stepped outside of her home just for a few minutes, but it was long enough for her 5-year-old son to accidentally shoot and kill his 2-year-old sister with the .22-caliber rifle he got for his birthday.” (5-year-old Kentucky boy fatally shoots 2-year-old sister) There is no good reason a young child should own a gun but the worst part is this is not the first and probably won’t be the last. There are others like this like two other incidents involving young children shooting others. In early April, 2013 a 4-year-old boy in Tennessee shot and killed a 48-year-old woman, and just days later, 6-year-old Brandon Holt was killed in New Jersey after being shot in the head by his 4-year-old playmate. “On April 20, 1999, two teens went on a shooting spree at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, killing 13 people and wounding more than 20 others before turning their guns on themselves and committing suicide. The crime was the worst high school shooting in U.S. history and prompted a national debate on gun control and school safety, as well as a major investigation to determine what motivated...

...1 AGRICULTURE IN BRAZIL: FROM THE 1980’s TO THE G-20 MAURO MASON DE CAMPOS ADORNO Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements of the Degree of Master by Coursework in International Policy Studies School of Politics Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences La Trobe University Bundoora, Victoria 3083 Australia 2 July 2005 Abstract The Brazilian economy transformed from a state of financial crisis in the 1980’s to become a leading agriculture exporter in the late 1990’s. Economic reforms implemented by the Real Plan were a response to a bankrupt decade of failed economic plans and high inflation rates. In this period agriculture played a key role in the control of the inflation and in the stabilization of the economy. The domestic environment of the Brazilian economy and the role of agriculture helped Brazil to develop a more active role and led it to seek for a leadership position in the international agricultural negotiations. On the eve on the WTO’s Cancun Round of negotiation a new coalition of developing countries formed the G-20. The Group was born from a Brazilian initiative and for the first time a group of developing countries stood up against the developed countries in the agriculture negotiations. 3 Acknowledgments I would like to dedicate this thesis to my mother Ana and my brother Matheus. Who believed in me even when I did not. I love you guys. I would like to thank my Father for the support, during the whole process,...
