...Teach Like A Pirate Part 1 of Teach Like a Pirate is divided into 6 sections: Passion, Immersion, Rapport, Ask and Analyze, Transformation, and Enthusiasm. Passion can be divided into content passion, professional passion and personal passion. A teacher who is fully immersed in the moment has a special type of intensity that resonates with great power in the classroom, regardless of the activity. Building rapport is all about interacting with your students as fellow human beings, not just subordinates. Rapport is important because it helps create buy-in. Ask and Analyze says that if you consistently ask questions that lead to creative and outside-the-box thinking, your mind will provide you with creative and outside-the-box answers. The Honda Odyssey example is so true! Transformation deals with reframing. A teachers job is to create a mental paradigm shift by reframing the content and its value and relevancy to their lives. Enthusiasm is contagious. Your attitude carries with it your single most powerful tool to influence your classroom. Part 2 of Teach Like a Pirate discusses crafting engaging lessons. I learned many ideas from Dave Burgess’ hooks. I liked “Move It, Move It”. It encourages kinesthetic activities in the classroom. We do a lot of music and movement in Kindergarten. I have also used the “People Prop” hook by having groups make human letters with their bodies. (ex: making the letter A by laying on the floor) The “Picasso” hook is used...

...Material We take apart a bic ballpoint pen. According to different raw materials, we find the pen can be divided into 5 basic parts, including a ballpoint, a tip, an ink tube, ink and the other pieces. Among them, the ballpoint is made of tungsten carbide, which is a very strong metal. The tip is made of brass - an alloy of copper and zinc. The ink tube is made of polypropylene, an eco-friendly plastic that can be recycled. The ink color is blue. The other pieces include a barrel, a cap, a plastic tip and a pen plug. And they are made of polystyrene, a very common plastic that can be easily produced. In addition, all of these materials can be produced in China. In order to find the material costs for one bic pen, we need to know the costs for each part of the pen and then, add them together. However, we don’t know how much each part costs. Therefore, we decide to find the price of those materials, then calculate the weight of each part seperately. Finally, we can multiply them and figure out costs of each part. • Ballpoint We search the price of tungsten carbide on www.alibaba.com, and find its price is around $60 per kilogram, that is $0.06/g. Since we have already known the ballpoint’s diameter is 1mm, we can calculate the volume of a ballpoint through formula V= (4/3)*pi*r3, and find the result is 5.236*10-4cm3 . In addition, because the density of tungsten carbide is 15.6g/cm3, we can calculate the mass of a ballpoint by formula M=p*V and find the mass of ballpoint...

...1.0 – BACKGROUND OF COMPANY: Société Bic was founded in Clichy, France in 1945 by Marcel Bich. ‘Bic’ is a shortened, easy-to-remember version of Marcel’s family name and hence was adopted as the logo for all of the company’s products. Bic is well known for producing and manufacturing stationery products, razors, lighters, water-sports equipment, services with promotional products and phones. The company is located in more than 160 countries worldwide and employs over 8400 employees. The Bich family owns 40% of Bic stock and controls 55% of its voting power. Bic’s vision is “we offer simple, inventive and reliable choices for everyone, everywhere, everytime.” Their consumer range therefore, stretches from offices to small children, encompassing ‘everyone’. In order to satisfy this wide spread, Bic tries to gain a balance between reasonably high quality and reasonable price. In performing a strategic analysis of the company, we hope to evaluate its current position and make recommendations of how they can improve in the future. 1.0 – HISTORY: 1945: Marcel Bich bought an empty factory in Paris with his partner, Edouard Bouffard. Bich had substantial knowledge of the writing instrument trade having previously worked as a production manager for an ink maker.

Advantages could include achievement on the economic scale and to expand product offering while disadvantages could be difficulty coordinating the business. Another problem with diversifying can be the manager lack of knowledge about the business. Successful strategies of managers are developing skills in diversification.

...is to analysis an appropriate price of a Bic pen. To plan on purchasing 10,000 Bic pens each year for total five years. Through analyzing the material, Mfg costs, labor costs, SG&A and packaging, transportation and profit of a Bic pen to get a reasonable price. Material According to Lemon (2016), Bic pen is made of tungsten carbide ballpoint, Brass tip, link, polystyrene barrel and polypropylene cap and tube. To be more exact, the ballpoint is made of tungsten carbide which can be found the price is USD 60/Kilogram in the Alibaba website. To use the density of the material(15.63g/cm3)and the volume formula of ball(r=0.5mm),to get the weight of the ball is around 0.00817g, thereby we can get that the price of each ballpoint is 0.06USD. Secondly, the brass price is USD 8/kilogram, which can be found in Alibaba.com. The weight of each tip brass is 1.28g (Pen Modding, 2016), so the each price is 0.0102USD. Thirdly, due to the length of ink tube is 10.2cm, the internal diameter is 2mm and the density of ink is1.11 g/cm3. Therefore, the weight of the ink is approximately 0.36g, and the link cost is about 0.003USD for each pen. Fourthly, the polystyrene barrel for ink remains in the pen which cost USD 1800/metric ton. It is necessary to use the outer diameter (3mm), internal diameter (2mm) and density of the material (0.95 g/cm3) to get the weight of barrel is about 0.45g, thus, per barrel cost 0.00081USD.

...different industries, such as Braun AG (German manufacturer of small appliances), S.T. Dupont (French maker of luxury lighters), Eve of Roma (high-fashion perfume) and Jafra Cosmetics (home sales) and so on. Some of these companies became the victims for the success of future development. Four of these acquisitions proved to be unprofitable or unsuitable and were divested, and the other three yielded low profits by Gillette’s standards. One example is that there is a French manufacturer Bic, which excelled in disposable products. Gillette has a company in the same industry, Paper Mate. The French manufacturer big brought some trouble to the Paper Mate. It s $0.19 disposable stick pens particularly affected the Paper Mate line of refillable pens and drove Paper Mate’s share of the retail ballpoint pen market from over 50 percent down to 13 percent. Although Gillette got a success in building market share when reintroduced to be market in 1975 with heavy price promotions. But the two other products of Bic, its disposable razors and lighters, which were being marketed very successfully in Europe and elsewhere and threatening Gillette’s strengths. And the loss of before is a victim for Gillette. Another thing that Gillette became a victim is about advertising. Schick sued Gillette for misleading claims of technological superiority in its advertising. Schick think that advertisements of Gillette for Mach3 used misleading statements such as “the world’s best shave” and “the best a man...

...Compte des groupes et fiscalité des entreprises. Année 2009-2010 AUD 13.102 Pourquoi l’impôt est levé par l’Etat ? A. La notion d’impôt. Dans la prolifération des prélèvements obligatoires il n’est pas toujours aisé de distinguer l’impôt des autres institutions. La définition traditionnelle que l’on doit à un célèbre professeur du siècle dernier peut s’avérer extrêmement utile pour se retrouver dans le maquis des finances publiques. 1°) La définition de l’impôt. a) La définition traditionnelle de l’impôt. Le professeur Gaston JEZE a proposé une définition de l’impôt qui tend à faire l’unanimité dans la mesure où elle est essentiellement pratique et fonctionnelle, reposant sur cinq éléments. Selon celle-ci on est en présence d’un impôt si : - il s’agit d’une prestation pécuniaire, - elle est requise auprès des membres d’une collectivité publique, Etat ou collectivité territoriale, - elle est perçue par voie d’autorité, - elle est perçue à titre définitif, - elle est perçue sans contrepartie. b) Les exceptions. Parler d’exception serait exagéré. Toutefois le caractère de prestation pécuniaire de l’impôt connaît une particularité que représente une procédure qui date de 1968 et qui nous vient de Grande Bretagne: la dation en paiement. C'est le fait que dans des cas exceptionnels, l’impôt, il s'agit alors des droits de mutation à titre gratuit (succession) peut être acquitté en nature par la remise d'œuvres d'art ou d'objets à haute valeur artistique ou historique. C'est...
