...Apollo templates for the new course Internal Information template 1. General information Course name: IELTS speaking and writing. This is a highly intensive course covering the two most difficult skills of speaking and writing that most students are not able to study by themselves and good guides are very essential and important. Many students are good at reading and listening skill and achieve over 7.0 IE mark but they have some difficulties with the other skills and have the need to improve just only the skills. That is the reason to decide to set up this course. We have made a survey (25 people) to find out the demand as well as the targeted customers of our course. Because IELTS is very important for most students at present, especially students planning to study abroad (60000 students in 2011), and English become more and more essential for many universities and companies, our course has a large potential. Out of 20 people taking part in our survey belongs to the age 15-22 and they also agree that a speaking and writing course is very helpful for them because they can’t learn by themselves skills as they are more difficult and they need the guide of teachers. All people did the survey help us collect some useful information about fee, the number of students of each class, the essential facility as well as the potential of the course to organize the course well and meet the customer’ demand. 2.

When those systems are structured to deliver the product while maximizing value and minimizing waste, they are said to be ‘lean’ projects. Lean project management differs from traditional project management not only in the goals it pursues, but also in the structure of its phases, the relationship between phases and the participants in each phase. This paper presents a model of lean project management and contrasts lean and traditional approaches. Four tools or interventions are presented as illustrations of lean concepts in action. Keywords: construction management, Lean Project Delivery System (LPDS), lean project management, project management, value, waste Les projets sont des systemes de production temporaires. Lorsque ces systemes sont organise pour fournir le produit tout ` ` ´s en optimisant la valeur et en minimisant les gaspillages, on dit qu’il s’agit de projets au plus juste .

...1 The Foundations of International Society 2013-2014 Part I: Politics 2 (International Relations I) Paper organiser: Professor Christopher Hill (POLIS): Room 105, Alison Richard Building Email: cjh68@cam.ac.uk Lecturers: Professor Hill (CH), Dr Elisabetta Brighi (EB), Dr Aaron Rapport (AR) and Dr Stefano Recchia (SR). Aims and Objectives The course aims to introduce students to the subject of International Relations (IR), whose main focus is the nature of politics at the international level. Students will acquire the empirical and conceptual foundations needed to understand a world political system which cannot be accurately described as either pure anarchy or a coherent form of ‘global governance’. The starting point is the notion of ‘international society’, which refers to the set of institutions and common procedures generated by states over the last three and a half centuries in their attempts to achieve some minimal form of co-existence, but which has gradually evolved to include many non-state actors and different levels of activity – diplomatic, economic and cultural, as well as that of military competition. By the end of the course you should be able to have an informed discussion about: the historical origins of the present system; what is distinctive about international politics as opposed to politics inside the state; and the main challenges which confront humanity in the twenty-first century. You will also acquire a basic familiarity with the main theories needed...

...Introduction HOW SHOULD YOU INTERPRET YOUR SCORES? In the Answer key at the end of the each set of Listening and Reading answers you will find a chart which will help you assess if, on the basis of your practice test results, you are ready to take the IELTS exam. In interpreting your score, there are a number of points you should bear in mind. Your performance in the real IELTS test will be reported in two ways: there will be a Band Score from 1 to 9 for each of the modules and an Overall Band Score from 1 to 9, which is the average of your scores in the four modules. However, institutions considering your application are advised to look at both the Overall Band and the Bands for each module. They do this in order to see if you have the language skills needed for a particular course of study. For example, if your course has a lot of reading and writing, but no lectures, listening comprehension might be less important and a score of 5 in Listening might be acceptable if the Overall Band Score was 7. However, for a course where there are lots of lectures and spoken instructions, a score of 5 in Listening might be unacceptable even though the Overall Band Score was 7. Once you have marked your papers you should have some idea of whether your Listening and Reading skills are good enough for you to try the real IELTS test. If you did well enough in one module but not in others, you will have to decide for yourself whether you are ready to take the proper test yet...

...Jack in Newcastle: Last season we almost got relegated. This season by January we were safe without spending a single penny. Pardew is fighting a losing battle against an Newcastle board with no ambition. Our star player out and two loan signings is not good enough. Feel for Alan. 17:41: Chelsea 0-0 Sunderland Willian started off playing quite deep, but he's working his magic in the final third a bit more now and he cuts inside a challenge before rifling a shot across Vito Mannone which the Sunderland keeper is equal to. 17:39: Manager reaction- West Ham 0-1 Crystal Palace Sam Allardyce West Ham manager Sam Allardyce: "It was stupid penalty conceded by Pablo Armero for the winning goal. Setting out your plans is all very well, but you cannot make allowances for that. "He didn't need to make that challenge and Crystal Palace are set out to take advantage when you make a mistake like that. We put every effort in but could not put the ball into the back of the net. "We had to take chances when they came our way and in that department we failed miserably today. "There was no more unhappiness from that fans than I had at Blackburn, Newcastle or Bolton. If you don't win fans don't like it, especially at home." Text us on 81111 Should Eden Hazard be in with a shout for the PFA young player of the year award?
