The document discusses how the implementation of e-portfolios at the University of Teacher Education in Berne could influence the digitalization of teaching and learning. It notes new challenges for lifelong learning with changing careers and technologies. Traditional learning and teaching approaches are compared to digital age approaches. The e-portfolio is proposed as a "Trojan horse" to guide teachers towards a more student-centered and connectivist approach through reflection, organization, and presentation of learning. Teachers may change their views of learning and teaching by considering the potentials of e-portfolios for individualized and networked learning.
This document discusses the importance of cultural intelligence in international business management. It notes that values, attitudes, and behaviors vary significantly across cultures and can impact business dealings. Stereotyping should be avoided as it can damage relationships. Developing cultural intelligence through experiences like studying abroad, working for international companies, or learning a new language can help one understand different perspectives and function effectively in culturally diverse situations. Ignoring local customs and perspectives when expanding business operations internationally often leads to failure.

This document outlines the agenda and goals of a master's thesis project evaluating the use of e-portfolios. The project will run from May 2013 to October 2013. It aims to evaluate students' self-reflection processes, provide recommendations to improve e-portfolio implementation, and evaluate the usability of the e-portfolio tool OPAL. The theoretical background section defines e-portfolios and the reflective learning process they are intended to support. Research interests include promoting journal writing and getting feedback on using e-portfolios in teacher education.

This document provides an overview of several International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), including IFRS 1 regarding first-time adoption, IFRS 2 on share-based payments, IFRS 3 on business combinations, and IFRS 6-8. IFRS 6 concerns exploration for and evaluation of mineral resources and allows entities to continue using existing accounting policies for recognition and measurement of related expenditures. IFRS 7 requires disclosures about financial instruments. IFRS 8 specifies segment reporting requirements for separate financial statements and those with publicly traded debt/equity. The document outlines key disclosure requirements for operating segments under IFRS 8.
Here are the key points about savings instruments:
- Savings and share accounts, CDs, MMAs, MMMFs, T-bills, EE bonds, and I bonds can all be used as savings vehicles.
- Savings and share accounts provide liquidity but low interest rates. CDs offer higher rates but come with penalties for early withdrawal.
- MMAs and MMMFs provide check-writing access while earning higher interest than regular savings.
- T-bills, EE bonds, and I bonds are good options for saving money over longer periods as they offer returns that are generally higher than regular savings accounts.
So in summary, clients have various liquid and longer-term savings options to choose

An 92-year-old man is moving into a retirement home after his wife passed away. As he slowly walks to his room using a cane, the caretaker describes his small room to him. The man says he likes the room very much with the enthusiasm of an 8-year-old boy receiving a new puppy. He believes happiness is a choice and has chosen to be happy with his new room regardless of its furnishings or decor by focusing on the positive memories he has built in his life.
