HOW TO RAISE FUNDS TO START NEW BUSINESS
Starting a business and one of the aspects that entrepreneurs find most daunting is raising start-up capital. Launching a new business requires much skill and preparation. Entrepreneurs may not have the resources to raise capital in order to market their new business ideas. Before a new business owner can raise capital for their startup, they must first identify the different sources of funding, find one that is most compatible with their needs, and then meet the given criteria of the investor or bank. These crucial steps can mean the difference between having the opportunity to successfully raise capital and leaving their new business ideas behind.
The internet has become the fastest and most efficient means by which a new business owner can perform market research and find out ways to raise capital. One important website to visit is the Small Business Administration (SBA) (www.SBA.gov), which can provide the necessary facts and resources needed for starting their new business. new business owners can also visit the public library or read through the local newspaper to find out more information on how to raise capital. The prospective business owner can also speak to successful entrepreneurs who have experience in the field.
Money can be obtained from personal checking and savings accounts, credit cards, and retirement accounts. In addition, equity can be collected from the sale of real estate properties, vehicles, recreational equipment, and even rare collectables. In fact, some wealthy entrepreneurs can choose to raise capital for their new business using their own personal funding. On the other hand, many new business owners may opt to utilize a combination of different sources to raise capital.
Other than self-financing, family members and friends can provide an additional means to raise capital for a new business. Many of these loans can be made available rather quickly because these families and associates know the entrepreneur personally and enjoy the excitement. Borrowing money from friends and family can work both for and against the new business owner. Family members and friends may feel that they should have say in every company decision or may desire a large stake in the new business since they had lent money to the entrepreneur.

OECD's project to counter aggressive tax planning policies, avoiding the move by multinational companies of the tax base from high-tax jurisdictions to others with low or no tax burden
I claim no credit for this story, written by grand admiral chelli of FanFiction.net. This story describes Finnick's life for when he was chosen for his games,up to his death.
It is remarkable how often academic staff discovers students’ weaknesses in expressing their thoughts either in a written, or an oral context, as well as in team working. The above skills are considered essential for their successful performance during their studies, which in turn requires writing technical reports, presenting their work, or participating in group projects, laboratory work, field work, etc. In this respect, we designed and conducted a two-academic year study in 2009-10 and 2010-11, during an engineering course. The results indicate that students self-reported an initial high level of weaknesses for both communication skills (writing and speaking), while a higher confidence for team-working skills. This effort highlighted that there is a large improvement potential for both communication skills and a lower potential for team-working skills. Based on the above results and in conjunction with other difficulties, such as: (a) the lack of awareness in the academic community for such skills in a traditionally-organised university (i.e. in Greece), (b) the inability to redesign all courses, currently relying on a content-based organised curriculum, on a competency base, and (c) the international literature which highlights specific generic skills of engineering students as essential during their studies and future career, Technical University of Crete organised short training workshops, based on experiential learning methods, during the academic year 2012-13. The aim of these workshops was the enhancement of the three aforementioned skills (writing, speaking, team-working) of the participating volunteers-students from all university departments. This paper justifies this innovative initiative and presents the analytical results from the contribution of the short training workshops organised in Technical University of Crete.

Ideas for the structure of the Consolidated Portfolio
There are many possible approaches, and it is the intention to test how well the students are at
tackling the problem. In real life (as you probably know) a project manager is frequently confronted
with the need to write a report and structuring the report for the audience is always a tricky thing to
do.
However, a way of tackling the consolidated portfolio is to do the following: -
1. Introduction and summary of outcomes
2. Itemise each learning outcome: -
a. LO1
i. Summary
ii. Evidence
b. LO2
i. Summary
ii. Evidence
c. … etc.
3. Discussion and Conclusion
4. References
5. Appendix of the weeks
a. Week 1
b. Week 2
c. ... etc.
Without going overboard then when formatted bullets 1 to 3 above will be most likely 8 to 10
pages. It might be more, but it should not be less. Each LO would contain two to three
paragraphs. The important thing is to say in the LO section how the student achieved the LO. This is
done through the summary and the evidence that points to each week in the appendix.
In the course profile students are encouraged to imagine they are going before an interview panel
and had been asked to show them how they could meet the job criteria (learning outcomes). So, as
a prerequisite they had to prepare a paper for them.
The marking criteria can often be encapsulated into a four stage criteria: -
1. Does the section or topic meet all of the basic learning requirements relevant of the
course, such as knowledge of fundamental concepts and performance of basic skills;
demonstrates sufficient quality of performance to be considered satisfactory or
adequate or competent or capable in relation to the learning outcomes of the
assignment? (25%)
2. Does the section or topic reflect an ability to use and apply fundamental concepts
and skills of the course, going beyond mere replication of content knowledge or skill
to show understanding of key ideas, awareness of their relevance, some use of
analytical skills, and some originality or insight? (50%)
3. Does the section or topic demonstrate awareness and understanding of deeper and
less obvious aspects of the course, such as ability to identify and debate critical
issues or problems, ability to solve non-routine problems, ability to adapt and apply
ideas to new situations, and ability to invent and evaluate new ideas? (75%)
4. Has the section or topic been presented with imagination, originality or flair, based
on proficiency in all the relevant learning outcomes of the course; work is interesting
or surprisingly exciting, challenging, well read or scholarly? (100%)
This criterion is ADDITIVE. In other words, the last item (4) is inclusive of the previous
ones (1, 2, and 3). If you feel that a student did most of 4 then you might give them 25% of
the overall mark for the ...

Effective communication throughout a workplace is an essential ingredient to align people’s efforts towards achieving goals. Yet it seems that ‘communication problems’ are continually mentioned as one of the main difficulties for most organisations.
Your boss, the CEO of ABC Company, has asked you to investigate the issues associated with each of the following four workplace communication strategies:
1. Social media to improve internal and external communication.
2. Communicating to customers.
3. Connecting with employees.
4. Crisis communication developing strategies to protect the reputation of the organisation in a crisis.
Working in groups of four, each student will write on one of the workplace communication strategies.
Please follow these guidelines to complete the assessment:
1. This assessment comprises two parts: a. group-assigned written report b. three-minute individual oral presentation.
2. You will be assigned to a group of four students. Internal students will be given their group in the tutorial; external students will be notified via email.
3. The purpose of this assessment is for you to engage in web-based research. Each student in your group needs to select ONE of the four workplace communication strategies.
4. Start your web-based research with a search of popular business publications, even trade journals, professional journals and current affairs journals, for any information about workplace communication strategies. Finally, use academic research to support your findings in relation to your selected theme.
5. Each student needs to find 8-10 secondary sources for his/her section. Please note you are expected to use a minimum of four (4) refereed academic journals. You will be shown how to tell if a journal is peer reviewed/refereed. Do not include more than 10 references per student.
6. Document using SCU Harvard format.
7. You are encouraged to write a first draft of this report at least one week prior to the due date to ensure adequate time for revision. Please be aware that the writing quality and appropriate referencing will be marked as well as the content.
8. Submit the report Turnitin via the Blackboard site no later than the due date: Friday 2nd February 2018, 9.00am (QLD time). Please note: only one student submits on behalf of their group.
9. In addition to the report each student will be required to give a three minute oral presentation on their respective report section.
10. Refer to the Marking Criteria Guide and Marking Rubric located under Assessment Details on the Blackboard.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

RWS: Living Rhetoric. Writing Knowledge.
Course Description
In this course we will examine the role that language plays in our lives and organizations,
from our ways of acquiring and expressing knowledge, to the ways that we perceive the
world, ourselves, and others. More specifically, we will examine workplaces as discursive
formations, taking a rhetorical approach to workplace writing and communication, and
seeing organizations as complex, polycontextual, and distributed. The first half of the
course takes a broad theoretical approach, introducing influential readings from
researchers in Professional/Technical Communication and Rhetoric and Writing Studies.
The second half of the course applies these theories to common workplace writing
contexts through case analyses and developmental projects.
Course objectives: Students will…
Investigate and implement theories of language, rhetoric, and analysis
Explore and practice methods of rhetorical thinking and metacognition
Explore and practice the common conventions of workplace writing and
organizational communication
Explore and practice writing research in the workplace
Investigate and practice writing as a way of thinking, knowing, and being, using their
writing to negotiate their world
Key Terms and Phrases
