INSURANCE AGENTS

Insurers deliver their insurance products to policyowners primarily through independent or exclusive agents. Historically, almost all insurance agents were independent business people paid on commission. More recently, many insurance companies have adopted a system where the agent is a paid employee of the firm. These agents are referred to as exclusive agents. Economists studying the differences between these two distribution systems have long argued that the independent agency system is a less efficient method of getting the product to the customer as measured by the ratio of expenses incurred to premiums written and other statistics. But recent studies suggest the reason for the higher expenses with independent agents is that they offer higher quality to policyowners through more personalized service, more advice on policy limits as well as more help when a claim is filed with the company. So one thing you could consider is how much guidance and service you want.

THE PROPOSED BUDGET FOR 2000

The proposed budget for 2000 is fully consistent with the four-year plan for 2000-03 ("Avança Brasil"), also submitted to Congress at the end of August 1999. This plan identifies the federal expenditure programmes that are to receive priority in the allocation of budgetary resources over the next four years, reflecting the main governmental objectives in the social, infrastructure and other public expenditure areas. It seeks to exploit regional and cross-projects synergies, and to attract partnerships with the other levels of government, the public enterprises, the multilateral development banks, and the private sector, to promote a more regionally balanced and sustainable development of the country. Increased emphasis will be placed on the evaluation of the results of these programmes, and on the accountability of the public managers of the programmes for these results.

What two aspects are mentioned regarding the four-year plan?

A focus on form implies that:

Complete the sentence with the correct order of verb tenses:

“When her mother __________, she __________ already __________ a shower and __________ her homework.”

In an experiment, two point charges Q1 and Q2 were put on a straight line path, at a certain distance from each other. When both Q1 and Q2 are charged with +2,0 [mC] each, the resulting electric field intensity equals zero in the middle point in the line path between Q1 and Q2. This is true since their electric field vectors in this position have the same magnitude but opposite directions.

Questions 36 to 42 relate to teaching skills and abilities: Larsen-Freeman (2003, p. 34) asserts that “there is much more of concern in the teaching and learning of grammar than whether or not students produce grammatical forms accurately” and she goes on to say that “the complexity is partly captured by the fact that form is only one of three dimensions, all of which play a part in grammaring”. The other two dimensions she refers to are:

Two complementary modes compose classroom interaction: One refers to talk with a pedagogical formal language goal. The other mode refers to talk without a pedagogical formal language goal. They are not static, there can be an overlapping between them. These two modes are called respectively:

Questions 36 to 42 relate to teaching skills and abilities: In practical terms, focusing on a grammar topic may be a challenge for the teacher and the student. Using the Passive Voice as mere example, Larsen-Freeman (2003, p. 47) states that “the ultimate challenge of the passive voice is not form” because “although it is a grammatical form, it is not the form that presents the learning challenge”. In her example, focusing on form, teachers may mistakenly choose to introduce the passive as a transformed version of the active, implying they are interchangeable or that all passive sentences include the agent, which is definitely not the case. A good alternative to teaching through form could be to:

A new budget system


In 1989, the Brazilian city of Porto Alegre came up with a radical solution to its major problems of unaccountability and extreme poverty: a participative budget. For the last decade, the people of the city have been deciding how the budget for public works should be allocated. Neighbourhood groups propose projects, and people from community groups and non-profit organisations who have been elected by their neighbours, decide which projects will go ahead. In some cases, the community delegates also oversee implementation of the final projects. This has had the triple result of avoiding corruption and mishandling funds, improving concrete matters on the ground, and increasing democratic participation in the process by a huge amount.

WEBSITE LEGAL CHECKUP

The explosive development of the Internet and electronic commerce has demonstrated that a corporate website can be extremely valuable. Although Internet exchanges of information and communications occur in cyberspace, they may have real, tangible consequences in the physical world. This means significant legal consequences can arise from the browsing or use of a corporate website.

As with any other interaction, website activities or information may be the basis for a damages claim against a company. Similarly, a company may wish to restrict what a user does with information obtained from a corporate website. In short, a company should view its website like any other communication channel. Therefore, we recommend that a corporate website include specific terms and conditions applicable to the browsing and use of the website.
