Rodents, especially mice are the main pests found on the university compound. This memo is designed to provide a guide that will offer solutions to the rodent menace and totally eradicate mice from the university compound. The solution begins with carrying out thorough hygienic practices within the compound. This among others includes slashing bushy areas, sealing any holes and openings on the walls, destroying rodent nests as well as collecting any accumulated litter from garbage collection bins and within the compound.

The backdrop of rising obesity in the youth and diminishing curriculum time for physical education (PE) presents a public health issue (Dollman, Boshoff & Dodd, 2006). In addition, a practitioner must consider the state, needs, and experience of a student. The idea of the embodiment has from the mid of 1980s been widely applied in artificial intelligence literature and cognitive knowledge. Because of the broad approach of embodiment, there is an increase in sustainability and multiplicity in claims involving the debate they bring forth. The term retains a meaningful use after the extrication and evaluation of different claims. This paper explores embodiment experience undertaken by practitioners in relation to health and physical education, particularly in primary schools in Australia. …

These theories are behavioral theory, humanistic theory, and cognitive theory.

The behavioral model explains that problems in conduct arise from reinforcement of bad behavior through rewards. The person, most probably a child does not get punished for the wrongdoing by the authorities. This may make them not discern the inappropriateness of their behavior causing them to continue to propagate it to adulthood (Rescorla, 2007, p137). Schultz (2006, 94) did an investigation on …

As the pace of change in the world accelerates, so does the shift in traditionally held notions on various matters. Ethics of right vs. wrong is among the issues which have been affected by changes seen in society today. During the better part of the Twentieth Century, the ethics of right vs. wrong were straightforward – acts of virtue qualified to be ethically justifiable while vices were considered to be ethically questionable. Today, however, ethical decision-making calls for an exhaustive process of critical thinking before determining the ethical nature of an action. An act that may be right, therefore, might have adverse outcomes, while an act that might seem wrong at the offset might have long-term benefits. As such, …
