The Reserve Bank = A License to Steal Money from Citizens? How Money Is Created from Nothing for Dummies (Paperback): A Motiar The Reserve Bank = A License to Steal Money from Citizens? How Money Is Created from Nothing for Dummies (Paperback)
A Motiar
R238 Discovery Miles 2 380 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

American President James Madison warned: "History records that the money changers have used every form of abuse, deceit and violent means possible to maintain their control over government by controlling money and its issuance." Few people are aware of how the money system is manipulated by the RESERVE BANK to make debt-slaves of the majority of a country's citizens. This book exposes how the RESERVE BANK uses the Fractional Reserve System to create "money out of nothing," and thereby diminish the value of the country's currency. For example, the American dollar has diminished by as much 96 percent since the establishment of the Federal Reserve Bank. Would the Bank's immoral activities not be tantamount to stealing money from the citizens of the countries where banks operate as "private" corporations? Sir Josiah Stamp, former director of the Bank of England, cautioned: "If you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let the banks continue to create money." A. Motiar is actively involved in social justice issues. He is a researcher, teacher, author, and an inventor. It pained him to see the disparity between the rich and the poor increasing rapidly. A ten-year research to find the cause helped him discover how the monetary system controlled by "privately-owned" RESERVE BANKS played a significant role in diminishing the wealth of most ordinary citizens. He is the author of several books and won several awards for his literacy and numeracy material: (see http: //www.MathAndLiteracyAfrica.co.za). His primary focus at present is to enhance literacy and numeracy skills of those most marginalized in society as one means of empowering citizens. Publisher's website: http: //sbpra.com/AMotiar

Healthy and Sustainable Fundraising Activities - Mobilizing Your Community Toward Social Responsibility (Paperback): Jenine M... Healthy and Sustainable Fundraising Activities - Mobilizing Your Community Toward Social Responsibility (Paperback)

R669 Discovery Miles 6 690 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

For most schools and organizations, fundraisers bridge the gap between budgets and the money they need in order to operate. Despite the continued rise in childhood and adult obesity and increased attention to humankind's ecological impact, many fundraisers still rely on the sale of high-calorie, low-nutrient foods or ask supporters to become consumers of incidental items and paper products "to support the cause."

"Healthy and Sustainable Fundraising Activities" offers innovative and thoughtful options that raise money for your cause without contradicting the physical activity, health, and ecological messages emphasized in your school or organization. In contrast to traditional fundraisers involving food and incidental products, the ideas in "Healthy and Sustainable Fundraising Activities" encourage personal, community, and environmental health and reinforce the health and social responsibility initiatives in place in your school or organization. With "Healthy and Sustainable Fundraising Activities" you'll learn how to involve not just your school or organization but the entire community in health-promoting, environmentally friendly activities.

With "Healthy and Sustainable Fundraising Activities," you'll find a range of ideas--from ink cartridge recycling to a dance competition--and a unique approach to fundraising sure to energize your students, members, and community to meet and exceed your fundraising goals. For educators, each of the activities outlined in the text is based on National Health Education Standards (NHES) and National Association for Sport and Physical Education (NASPE) standards and 21st-century learning outcomes, making this text a great resource for incorporating the health and wellness initiatives of your school into the fundraising plans for your class, club, sport team, or organization.

Activities in the book are grouped according to the level of knowledge, skills, and abilities required for organizing and conducting them. Most activities use similar or commonly used resources often available in a school or organizational setting. You'll find clear and complete explanations in a standard lesson plan format along with the tools and information you need in order to implement each idea. With background information on various types of fundraisers, how these types are categorized, and guidance on scheduling, implementing, and communication, you'll have a full picture of what it takes to complete each event.

Get your members and community involved in a project that not only raises money but also gives children exposure to important values such as lifelong wellness, hard work, perseverance, integrity, and civic engagement. Regardless of whether you are new to fundraising or simply searching for new ideas for your next project, "Healthy and Sustainable Fundraising Activities" offers the tools, information, and inspiration to help you reach your monetary goals in ways that contribute to the health and well-being of your students, members, community, and the environment.

Reinventing Higher Education - The Promise of Innovation (Paperback): Ben Wildavsky Reinventing Higher Education - The Promise of Innovation (Paperback)
Ben Wildavsky
R908 Discovery Miles 9 080 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

The inspiration for this timely book is the pressing need for fresh ideas and innovations in U.S. higher education. At the heart of the volume is the realisation that higher education must evolve in fundamental ways if it is to respond to changing professional, economic, and technological circumstances, and if it is to successfully reach and prepare a vast population of students-traditional and non-traditional alike-for success in the coming decades. This collection of provocative articles by leading scholars, writers, innovators, and university administrators examines the current higher education environment and its chronic resistance to change; the rise of for-profit universities; the potential future role of community colleges in a significantly revised higher education realm; and the emergence of online learning as a means to reshape teaching and learning and to reach new consumers of higher education. Combining trenchant critiques of current conditions with thought-provoking analyses of possible reforms and new directions, Reinventing Higher Education is an ambitious exploration of possible future directions for revitalised American colleges and universities.

Today in the United States, students are graduating from college already in debt from student loans and beginning their careers in an uncertain economy. Statistics have shown that freshman college students are stressed-not about their grades or about doing well-but rather about the debt they are already accumulating. But is it really possible to graduate from college debt-free? John Lane did, and with his guidebook HOW TO GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE DEBTFREE, he can teach you how to do the same.

Recent college graduate John Lane combines mini-workshops with concrete concepts, interactive exercises, and personal stories in order to provide a complete guide on how students can embark on a successful journey to receiving a college education while becoming financially self-sufficient and paying for education costs at the same time. While encouraging students to be proactive in earning funds prior to attending college, Lane also underlines the importance of setting financial goals, creating affirmations, and developing personal declarations.

HOW TO GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE DEBT-FREE provides valuable information for any high school or current college students who wants to gain financial freedom and independence and throw their cap in the air on graduation day knowing they are debt-free

The book discusses about the methods and approaches used by banks in granting credits to their customers. The material covers the various types of lending and the processes involved in detail. It goes beyond the normal classroom rhetoric as it adopts a practical approach similar to having a hands-on-experience in lending. It is an ideal material for students of finance who need to understand the core rudiments for financial activities and to succeed in professional examinations. It is also useful for bank staff and researchers in the subject area to keep abreast of the banking procedure. I strongly recommend the material for finance students and lecturers in the field.

Quest for a Credible Model in Lending Evaluation (Paperback): Charles K. Addo Quest for a Credible Model in Lending Evaluation (Paperback)

R238 R221 Discovery Miles 2 210 Save R17 (7%) Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book examines potential income as an additional independent variable that will complement credit history to predict loan repayment with applicable interest. Lending exposures constitute the most material risk concentrations within banks, and this book contributes to the literature on lending risk management within banks and other lending institutions. Risk management theories have provided emphatic guidelines for risk control and management of banks' loans, yet the results of other studies indicate that the credit evaluation models do not fully explore all available predictors of loan repayment. This deprives the models of total efficiency at predicting loan repayment with applicable interest, and leads to accretion in the nonperforming loans portfolio. It also leads to inequitable credit rationing practices. The resultant effect is a decrease in both investment and consumer spending that stimulates macroeconomic activities. This book suggests a policy prescription for lenders: consideration should be given to both credit history and potential income in loan decision making.

2010 Reprint of 1947 Edition. Two volumes in one.Benjamin Graham (1894 - 1976) was an American economist and professional investor. Graham is considered the first proponent of Value investing, an investment approach he began teaching at Columbia Business School in 1928 and subsequently refined with David Dodd through various editions of their famous book Security Analysis. Graham intended the lectures transcribed in Current Issues in Security Analysis as a way to update the 1940 revision of his classic work, Security Analysis.These lectures are from the series entitled Current Problems in Security Analysis that Mr. Graham presented at the New York Institute of Finance from September 1946 to February 1947. Published using a typewriter, these are the transcripts of ten lectures given by Graham. They communicate Graham's understanding of the main issues and perils of investing. The format is the teacher/student interaction, with Graham providing a formal lecture and later answering questions.

The Politics of Child Daycare in Britain (Hardcover): Vicky Randall The Politics of Child Daycare in Britain (Hardcover)
Vicky Randall
R2,142 Discovery Miles 21 420 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Arguing that daycare is vital for gender equality, this book seeks to explain why provision, especially public provision, has been so meagre in Britain. Adopting a predominantly institutional approach, it shows how the liberal tradition of limited state intervention has intersected with the private, family, as well as the potentially redistributive, character of childcare issues. It also highlights the gendered assumptions of policy-makers, the centralization of governmental process, the weakness of the childcare lobby, and of feminist mobilization on childcare and simple contingencies of timing. This policy legacy will severely constrain new Labour's commitment to 'meet the childcare challenge'.

R2,695 Discovery Miles 26 950 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

For over 30 years now large-scale investment has been made in science education throughout the world and in developing countries in particular. A handful of countries have indeed succeeded in raising their respective population's general level of scientific knowledge, but in other countries, in spite of much effort, the shortage in supply of science-trained students persists, examination achievement levels remain low, and the cost of provision so high that many children all over the world are denied access to effective science teaching.

Whilst the problems of curriculum relevance have been widely discussed, little attention has been paid to the issues confronting the policy-maker and the manager in deciding how much to invest in science education, how to provide value for money or how much science to provide for how many students.

This book addresses the question of how best to plan investment in science at secondary level in developing countries using insights from the studies conducted under a five-year research programme carried out by the International Institute for Educational Planning. The result is an extensive account, commentary and analysis of the main issues that the planners of science education in developing countries are likely to be confronted with when addressing the challenges of the twenty-first century.

This open access book aims to present the experiences and visions of several world university leaders, providing strategies and methods used to find various income sources for their institutions. The expansion of a university system requires a corresponding increase in funding. Consequently, university administrators all over the world are in a constant search for additional funds. If higher-level institutions are expected to deliver high-quality education and research, their sustainable funding is crucial to the development of the countries they serve. While governmental sources are a major part of the funding of most universities, economic downturns as in the case of the COVID-19 crisis may reduce governmental contributions in this and cause administrators to look for various alternative sources to help them compete in a global setting. This book offers valuable information and guidance to university leaders and administrators worldwide especially at a time when university budgets are under stress due to the COVID-19 pandemic with its dire financial and economic consequences.

Analysing Erasmus+ Vocational Education and Training Funding in Europe (Paperback, 1st ed. 2019): Carlos de Olague-Smithson Analysing Erasmus+ Vocational Education and Training Funding in Europe (Paperback, 1st ed. 2019)
Carlos de Olague-Smithson
R1,521 Discovery Miles 15 210 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This volume presents an analysis of the Erasmus+ funding process. It examines the first 3 years of the programme to discover if the funds are being distributed homogeneously throughout the regions of France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom. If it turns out that funds are being unevenly delivered this could result in an inequity situation: students living in specific regions might have greater chances to benefit from KA102 funds, while other students might have fewer opportunities to benefit from these funds. The book looks in detail at the implementation and performance of the various programmes within Erasmus+, the funds and distribution of these funds, and the number of students in the programmes. The book studies these five countries because they contain more than half of all the vocational education and training students in the European Union. Also, these countries had the most students participating in mobilities during the previous Leonardo da Vinci programme. Hence, it is to be expected that the conclusions drawn in this study are representative of the situation of VET mobilities and Erasmus+ funding in Europe. Erasmus+ is the European programme in charge of fostering the development of transnational programmes in the areas of education, training, sports and youth policies. It is focused on the adaptation to a fast changing world, tackling youth unemployment, and preparing workers for highly skilled jobs. Erasmus+ integrates former programmes such as the Lifelong Learning Programme, Youth in Action, and the various international Higher Education and Sports programmes. It started in 2014 and will be active until 2020.

Higher Education Financing in East and Southern Africa explores trends in financing policies, paying particular attention to the nature and extent of public sector funding of higher education, the growth of private financing (including both household financing and the growth of private higher education institutions) and the changing mix of financing instruments that these countries are developing in response to public sector financial constraints. This unique collection of African-country case studies draws attention to the remaining challenges around the financing of higher education in Africa, but also identifies good practices, lessons and common themes.

R791 Discovery Miles 7 910 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Much of the twentieth century saw broad political support for public funding of American higher education. Liberals supported public investment because it encouraged social equity, conservatives because it promoted economic development.

Recently, however, the politics of higher education have become more contentious. Conservatives advocate deep cuts in public financing; liberals want to expand enrollment and increase diversity. Some public universities have embraced privatization, while federal aid for students increasingly emphasizes middle-class affordability over universal access.

In Public Funding of Higher Education, scholars and practitioners address the complexities of this new climate and its impact on policy and political advocacy at the federal, state, and institutional levels. Rethinking traditional rationales for public financing, contributors to this volume offer alternatives for policymakers, administrators, faculty, students, and researchers struggling with this difficult practical dynamic.
