I would suggest you to post each question separately to get a valid and relevant answer..

My sister is 17 and will be graduating from high school next year (2011). Ultimately she wants to go to Norway to study at the Norwegian University of Life Sciences (UMB) in an English language bachelor program called "International Environment and Development Studies", but only after taking off a year or two for a working holiday overseas, preferrably somewhere in continental Europe. When I studied abroad, I used to meet European "gap students"aged 18-19, so I figured that my sister is up for a "gappy" program. But we really don’t have much information on what that is, because it’s not a very common thing to do in our country.

My sister’s study will mainly be about understanding how the environment, culture, trade and politics influence development; and learning how to find local and global solutions to injustice and poverty. She has big dreams of making good things happen in our country through human development, education, and business. Apart from that, she is also a performing arts enthusiast who plays great music and acts in amateur theatre productions on and off. She loves volunteering for community development projects in our country like teaching less fortunate kids, reforestation, integrated agroforestry, and mobile health services (where a crew of health professionals and volunteers drive a van of medical facilities to provide free health check ups and basic medicine to poor people in different areas of the province.

The reason why she wants to take time off before university is because she is well aware that the education in our country is mostly just a bunch of formality, a checklist to tick off with no real encouragement to pursue the love of learning and fulfill potential in order to make our country a better place. Really good education is a luxury few have access to, and those who can afford it normally come from very rich families with extravagantly self-indulgent lifestyles, who shower their kids with branded items and discourage their kids from working. As a result, many high school graduates who were "well educated" become very self centered consumerists who know very little about the real world, lacking the discipline and maturity to cast a worthy vision and follow it through. My sister is determined that she will not become just another statistic, but that is very hard to break out of if that’s all you’ve known all your life. And so she decides to break the cycle by traveling abroad at a young age to get a job, support herself, gain basic life skills and develop the discipline to do it consistently, and just understand life a little bit better by experiencing how others in different parts of the world live theirs. She believes that a year off or two to pursue these goals will help her know herself better, appreciate her dreams and future studies, and develop the necessary disciplines to sustain her future pursuits that she otherwise would have never learnt in school, and especially not in our country.

So, after all is said and done, we’d be grateful for the following information:

What can my sister do for gap year, from which she can learn a lot to prepare her for her future studies? Are there any organizations which organize such programs? Would it consist of a long internship with cash allowance, or working odd jobs while volunteering for a development project, involve the management of some kind of entrepreneurship / fund raising, or is it something else? What are some ways that European students spend gap year while traveling to foreign countries outside Europe, and what are some ways that Asian students spend gap year while traveling to Europe? How about visas and work permits for Norway and/or other European countries? What can our family (and ultimately my sister herself) do throughout the following year to plan this carefully and make sure that it follows through?

My sister and I are citizens of Indonesia (Southeast Asia). She speaks fluent English and is a fast learner of other languages too. Spent some of her childhood in the States, Australia, and The Netherlands; but will be graduating from an international curriculum secondary school in Jakarta.

Thank you!

There are many excellent gap year programs. Explore some of the hyperlinks below. What a lucky girl your sister is to have you to help her plan!

So, I am doing a project for my BCIS class, and the school computers use Powerpoint 2007. If I take it home to work on it and save it in Powerpoint 97-2003 format, will 2003 be able to display that template? Also, I downloaded some templates from Microsoft Online onto my 2003 version, would 2007 recognize it and display it properly?

The rule: later PowerPoint versions can open earlier ones. The template you saved in Powerpoint 97-2003 can be recognized by 2007 version.
But if you are to open a 2007 ppt template in a 2003 version, you should save the 2007 to 97-2003, and the new features in 2007 will get lost.

The project might have needed no modifications, or very few modifications.

"Performance management" might encourage quantity rather than quality. Instead of none or one or two necessary or desirable modifications, there might be hundreds of unnecessary and undesirable modifications ?

Proper analysis and planning

I would like to acquire a PMP (Project Management Professional) certificate from PMI (project management Institute). while filling up the application form, i was asked to fill up the number of hours spent in a each project. My question is that whether i would be in a position to submit the proofs for the hours mentioned in the form or else only the certificates specifying the experience alone would be sufficient; as i do have only certificates specifying the experience!!!
thanks in advance
Raji ram

You need to read the PMP Certification Handbook! As it explains, you only need to provide proof if your exam application is randomly selected for an audit. PMI won’t say how many audits they do, but empirically, I’ve seen about 8% of applications get audited. But you’d better be ready to prove the education and experience you claim. If you fail the audit, you lose $100 and have to wait a year to reapply.

Thanks. Terrific.

Here is a complete answer to your question about what the Software Quality Assurance Plan does and the issues and methods surrounding its application.

http://www.ehow.com/about_5403345_software-quality-assurance-plan.html

The following is my little rant on this subject:

Of course it would. From a manufacturer’s point of view, knowing that such a plan would be put in place immediately asserts a level of efficiency and redundancy which is aimed towards minimising significant post production alterations of the product.

Microsoft and Sony are two companies that provide excellent examples of how this has been done wrongly in the past. They seem to have an arrogance about them which assumes that people will tolerate any amount of deficiency for the same of having a product so we get updates to fix bugs and fixes to fix the fixes and updates to delete previous update, all taking precious space on hard drive space that the user did not set aside for their purposes but our own.

This is the best SQA Plan i’ve encountered so far

US soldiers in combat could use an assist from a civilian workforce while trying to rebuild war-torn nations, President Barack Obama said Wednesday.

Speaking at a town hall in Racine, Wisconsin, Obama called for sending a "civilian expeditionary force" to Afghanistan and Iraq to help overburdened military troops build infrastructure. His remarks were first reported by The Associated Press.

"So what Im trying to say is, dont put all the burden on the military. Make sure that weve got a civilian expeditionary force," said the president, adding that the civilian force would build schools, bridges and roads in regions cleared by the military as safe.

Obama last December renounced the possibility committing the US to a lengthy "nation-building" project. "I reject this course because it sets goals that are beyond what can be achieved at a reasonable cost, and what we need to achieve to secure our interests," he said in a speech at New York’s West Point Academy.

Department of Defense Directive 1404.10, dated January 23, 2009, set up a "Civilian Expeditionary Workforce" that would "be organized, trained, cleared, equipped, and ready to deploy in support of combat operations by the military; contingencies; emergency operations; humanitarian missions; disaster relief; restoration of order; drug interdiction; and stability operations."

Now do you see why he wants illegal aliens here making new ‘citizens’ as fast as they can? The anti-baby brainwashing of the last several decades has backfired on the warmongers.
