I am thankfully being re-graded and re-defined in my job and have been told to think of some possible job titles for myself. I want to sound quite impressive but without having one of those ‘pretentious’ titles. Can anyone give me a few suggestions and ideas? Serious ones only please ….this is my job/livelihood we are talking about!!! )

To give you an idea, I work in a mainly administrative/office role but my areas include project administration, publicity and profiling (inc press contact, website, events organisation etc) staffing support and office management/procedures and so on and so on….

Can you make me sound as impressive as I actually am? I would be really grateful.

Many thanks

We made some preliminarily surveys on local birds. We held exhibition in a nearby park. Public showed overwhelming interest. We are going to form a bird lovers’ society, for which we seek a suitable name. The main ideas are :
1. Each member will watch the immediate neighborhood / public parks, but compare notes with rest
2. Aim is to encourage & disseminate knowledge & sympathy for birds.
3. Efforts to increase the variety of resident & seasonally visiting birds.
4. Amateur members : mainly students, morning walkers, bird lovers who want to write project papers for their college semester & such other bird lovers.
5. We shall put up boxes / pipes for birds nests, bird feed, bird bath etc. Will need wide local sympathy, to avoid disturbance & theft.
6. Engage very poor local population, including ex bird catchers, who have lost livelihood due to strict ban on most birds.
7. Increase local participation to ensure safety of birds & reduction of habitat disturbance.
8. Encourage trees which attract more variety of birds than presently available. Consequential environmental improvement.

Christopher Morgan from London died of Mesothelioma in March 2010 from asbestos exposure during his apprenticeship in Hatton Garden where he unknowingly inhaled asbestos fibers. He was neither informed of its dangers nor given protective equipment. Weekly, 20 tradesmen die from this killer. The need to take this risk arose as working with asbestos provides a substantial income and is a means of livelihood for the uneducated that are also oblivious to its harms

That was my short introduction for my project work.
My teacher placed a "NEED?" next to it.
Did i not stress the need for Christopher to take the risk?

you should probably quote it. so that it doesnt seem to be included in your project, more so as support of evidence. try and find an article on the net and quote it

This village is in an Island and lacks clean drinking water. We have made a down payment of 1.2m and need a balance of 3m. The main activity of this community is fishing as a sole means of livelihood. They rely on water harvest which runs off in the middle of the year and have to cross to main land to buy for water. Please help us through your ideas of how to fundraise for this community. Send response to dchipo@yahoo.com

What is the exact location of this village? What NGOs are working in this village and could verify all that you have said?

Tortious interference, in the common law of tort, occurs when a person intentionally damages the plaintiff’s contractual or other business relationships. This tort is broadly divided into two categories, one specific to contractual relationships (irrespective of whether they involve business), and the other specific to business relationships or activities (irrespective of whether they involve a contract).

Tortious interference with contract rights can occur where the tortfeasor convinces a party to breach the contract against the plaintiff, or where the tortfeasor disrupts the ability of one party to perform his obligations under the contract, thereby preventing the plaintiff from receiving the performance promised. The hardcore instance of this tort occurs when one party induces another party to breach a contract with a third party, in circumstances where the first party has no privilege to act as it does and acts with knowledge of the existence of the contract. Such conduct is termed tortious inducement of breach of contract.

Tortious interference with business relationships occurs where the tortfeasor acts to prevent the plaintiff from successfully establishing or maintaining business relationships. This tort may occur when a first party’s conduct intentionally causes a second party not to enter into a business relationship with a third party that otherwise would probably have occurred. Such conduct is termed tortious interference with prospective business relations, expectations, or advantage or with prospective economic advantage.

An early, perhaps the earliest, instance of recognition of this tort occurred in Garret v. Taylor, 79 Eng. Rep. 485 (K.B. 1620). In that case, the defendant drove customers away from the plaintiff’s quarry by threatening them with mayhem and also threatening to “vex [them] with suits.” The King’s Bench court said that “the defendant threatened violence to the extent of committing an assault upon … customers of the plaintiff … whereupon ‘they all desisted from buying.’’ The court therefore upheld a judgment for the plaintiff.

In a similar case, Tarleton v. McGawley, 170 Eng. Rep. 153 (K.B. 1793), the defendant shot from its ship Othello off the coast of Africa upon natives while “contriving and maliciously intending to hinder and deter the natives from trading with” plaintiff’s rival trading ship Bannister. This action caused the natives (plaintiff’s prospective customers) to flee the scene, depriving the plaintiff of their potential business. The King’s Bench court held the conduct actionable. The defendant claimed, by way of justification, that the local native ruler had given it an exclusive franchise to trade with his subjects, but the court rejected this defense.

The tort was described in the case of Keeble v. Hickeringill, (1707) 103 Eng. Rep. 1127, styled as a "trespass on the case". In that case, the defendant had used a shotgun to drive ducks away from a pond that the plaintiff had built for the purpose of capturing ducks. Thus, unlike the foregoing cases, here the actionable conduct was not directly driving the prospective customers away, but rather eliminating the subject matter of the prospective business. Although the ducks had not yet been captured, the Justice Holt wrote for the court that "where a violent or malicious act is done to a man’s occupation, profession, or way of getting a livelihood, there an action lies in all cases." The court noted that the defendant would have the right to draw away ducks to a pond of his own, raising as a comparison a 1410 case in which the court deemed that no cause of action would lie where a schoolmaster opened a new school that drew students away from an old school.

Typical examples
Tortious interference of business.- When false claims and accusations are made against a business or an individual’s reputation in order to drive business away.
Tortious interference of contract.- When an individual uses "tort" (a wrongful act) to come in between two parties mutual contract.

Elements
Although the specific elements required to prove a claim of tortious interference vary from one jurisdiction to another, they typically include the following:

The existence of a contractual relationship or beneficial business relationship between two parties.
Knowledge of that relationship by a third party.
Intent of the third party to induce a party to the relationship to breach the relationship.
Lack of any privilege on the part of the third party to induce such a breach.
Damage to the party against whom the breach occurs.
The first element may, in employment at will jurisdictions, be held fulfilled in regards to a previously unterminated employer/employee relationship.

- I’ve seen no direct evidence of tortious interference, though evidence supporting tort claims frequently arise years and and even decades after the event.

In 1986 a handful of San Francisco based artists started Kulintang Arts with the support of the National Endowment for the Arts. Along with the good fortune of hooking up with Master Artist, Danongan Kalanduyan, we were able to receive training directly from the Master. Within 3 years, Master Kalanduyans students in Kulintang Arts began conducting primary research on their own, by traveling to the Philippines directly, having earned further support from the NEA. Again through good fortune, we be-friended a nun in Cotabato City who was involved in a livelihood project, a bronze foundry which made Kulintang instruments (primarily for show). She took us to the foundry because we were interested in bringing some Kulintang instruments back to the US. We insisted on their tuning the instruments before we would buy them (we were not interested in simply hanging them up on the wall). After the tuner had tuned this particular set to the tuning they preferred, the local folks graciously played a little for us (the strangers from America). Then it was our turn to share our music with them. What ensued was pure magic. An amazing National Geographic, East meets West moment. Who would have known that the Kangangudan piece we performed for them was one of their favorite tunes. Late 1989 a pioneering time for this sort of thing. Performing for Kulintang Arts: Frank Holder, Robert Henry, Joey Maliga, Marcella Pabros. After over 20 years Kulintang Arts (now KulArts) is still bringing it, under the able direction of Alleluia Panis. Look up KulArts at http://www.kularts.org/.

This Practical Action project aims to address the development needs of the communities, who have been displaced by river erosion and those who are living under the threat of being eroded in the near future.

Gaibandha is located in northern Bangladesh at the confluence of the two major rivers, which makes the area vulnerable to floods and river erosion. Frequent disasters make life here much more difficult than the rest of country, by depriving people of land, employment opportunities and basic service facilities.

“We must understand what the disaster is. A huge wave is not the disaster. The disaster is human. People who lost their family, that’s the disaster. Somebody lost his livelihood; somebody lost his home; that’s the disaster. Somebody doesn’t have something to eat tonight; that’s the disaster. So, this disaster is not just on the physical plane. A human being’s suffering is hugely within himself, more than outside. A few packets of food may arrive, and he may get to eat; however, the new conditions – that he has to sit on the street side and eat, not in his home, and that his family has disappeared – that is the real disaster, the human part of it.” – Sadhguru

Tsunami Relief & Rehabilitation
Isha Foundation which already operated centers in the coastal regions of Tamil Nadu was quick in its response to the unprecedented and catastrophic death and destruction caused by the tsunami on 26th December, 2004. In coastal areas of Chidambaram and Cuddalore and the devastated villages in Vellankovil and Nagapattanam, thousands of Isha volunteers from all walks of life tirelessly operated relief camps from the very first day, offering food, shelter, quality medical istance and psychological relief to the victims. Specially designed Isha Yoga classes were also conducted to help those affected cope with the disaster, through physically and psychologically strengthening tools.

Personally participating in the relief and rehabilitation programs, Sadhguru made several visits to the affected areas — closely directing and overseeing the process. Eight Mobile Health Clinics complete with their medical teams, supplies and thousands of volunteers were immediately moved from their project sites to the coast and put at the disposal of the district administration.

Subsequently, in close working with the district administration, Isha Foundation adopted four villages in Cuddalore district and completed a model rehabilitation program that was highly acclaimed by the beneficiary communities and the state administration alike. In addition, Mobile Health Clinics were permanently dedicated to implementing the project Action for Rural Rejuvenation in 60 coastal villages.

Isha Foundation delivered its first permanent house to the victims within 30 days of the disaster. The novel housing design developed promptly by Sadhguru himself, was certified as fire, earthquake, cyclone and tsunami proof by various institutions. Further, a boat manufacturing facility was set up on the premises of Isha Yoga Center to respond to the urgent need for fishing boats (the sole livelihood provider of coastal villagers). Volunteer engineers and professionals isted to restore livelihoods lost through the calamity.

A massive tree planting program and creation of a green belt through Project Green Hands was also undertaken and is ongoing in coastal villages affected by the tsunami.
