This document summarizes the evolution of music education in US schools over the 20th century as the country became more multiculturally diverse. It describes how music education shifted from focusing on a single American culture to incorporating ethnic studies. Major events like civil rights movements and conferences in the 1960s pushed for more culturally inclusive curricula. However, the document notes that as of 1994, multicultural music education still lacked clear definitions and assessments of different approaches. Overall progress was made but gaps remained in properly representing various cultures in US classrooms.

Handshakes should occur when being introduced to someone new in a business or social setting, when greeting or saying goodbye to a host or hostess, and when offering congratulations or condolences. A firm handshake is appropriate, while being careful not to shake too vigorously or cause discomfort. In social situations, men typically wait for women to extend their hand first when shaking.

Please find here a portfolio of some of the publication work I did while working for ToadShow Pty Ltd.
Editing, writing, photography and design for the Liquor, Hospitality & Miscellaneous Union (QLD), and Rail, Tram & Bus Union (QLD).
All work done from 2005 - 2007.
Translation memory (TM) software stores previous source and target language translations to retrieve and reuse for future translations, saving time and money. TM software like Trados matches new source text to stored translations, presenting exact or similar matches to translators. Using TM can increase translator productivity by 10-50% and reduce costs for repetitive documents by only requiring them to be translated once.
The document discusses the benefits of using LinkedIn for both employees and organizations, providing an overview of what LinkedIn is and how to build an effective professional profile by highlighting experiences, education, and involvement in groups.

The document summarizes the findings of a study conducted by Ipsos MORI on media literacy and understanding digital capabilities in the UK. The study aimed to understand the current state of internet literacy in the UK and segment the online population based on their internet literacy. It involved qualitative and quantitative research including face-to-face surveys with over 2,000 adults and children. The key findings were that most adults go online daily but 1 in 5 are not online, confidence in internet skills is generally high but varies significantly across age and education levels, and the population can be segmented into 7 groups based on their attitudes and behaviors related to technology and internet use.
The document discusses wave energy and provides information on the following key points:
1. Waves are a concentrated form of solar energy generated by wind blowing across the sea surface. The energy within a wave is proportional to the square of its height.
2. Regions with the most potential for wave power include western coasts of Europe, northern Canada, southern Africa, Australasia, and northwestern US coasts.
3. The objectives of the wave energy device described are to provide a reliable, economical, and efficient device that can sustain extreme ocean conditions and generate electricity at full capacity without shutdowns.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise boosts blood flow, releases endorphins, and promotes changes in the brain which help regulate emotions and stress levels.
The document discusses how listening skills are declining due to modern technologies that record and share information without requiring active listening. It suggests that as a result, people are losing their ability to appreciate subtle sounds and details in life. However, it also provides some methods for improving listening abilities, such as experiencing silence to reset hearing sensitivity, paying attention to the variety of sounds in an environment, savoring mundane sounds, and using the RASA method of active listening involving receiving, appreciating, summarizing, and asking questions.
- The case discusses the history of Harley-Davidson (HD) motorcycles, which was founded in 1903 and is over 100 years old. It was acquired by AMF in 1969 but faced quality issues in the 1970s that reduced its market share.
- To regain market share, HD emphasized total quality improvement in the 1980s through employee training, supplier partnerships, statistical process control and focusing on customer needs. This helped grow its market share back to 63% after 1983.
- While diversifying into other motorcycle segments could hedge risk, it may also hamper HD's brand image and require different production strategies than its high-end, customized bikes that focus on quality.
This document discusses the importance of professional medical interpreters. It notes that medical facilities see patients from diverse backgrounds and languages daily, so interpreters are needed to facilitate communication when language barriers exist. Family or friends of patients may try to interpret, but the medical field has complex terminology requiring experience. Unauthorized interpreters could make errors that complicate care or risk patient health. The document also emphasizes that medical interpreters must keep up to date on advancing terminology and procedures. It outlines other requirements like cultural understanding and managing relationships. Finally, it introduces Alphatrad as an agency providing qualified interpreters with medical expertise and resources to meet industry needs.

The document provides information about good and bad speakers. A good speaker talks rather than lectures, delivers with passion, has a real understanding of the subject, makes it look effortless, uses simple language, sticks to the message, connects well with the audience, provides relevant content that changes how people think and act, and holds the audience's attention. In contrast, a bad speaker has no idea about the subject, doesn't show passion, doesn't explain complex areas well, fails to persuade or motivate the audience, and has poor timing. The document then provides background information and details about several historical figures, including Adolf Hitler, Winston Churchill, Martin Luther King Jr., Harsha Bhogle, Nelson Mandela, and Barack Obama.
