...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...

When you are with someone you trust, you may not notice, but you are naturally mirroring him or her. Mirroring is defined as when you copy someone else’s behavior; their movement, body position, hand gestures, tone of language, etc. A clear example of mirroring is seen when a couple naturally completes each other’s sentences. They are so in tune they actually seem to read the others thoughts. What most people do not realize is that mirroring...

Chaque époque et chaque peuple a ses divertissements : jeux, fêtes, musiques, danses... Autant de loisirs qui caractérisent et qui distinguent les cultures. Mais sans doute n'ont ils jamais eu autant d'importance que dans nos sociétés modernes, où les individus ne cherchent plus uniquement à s'accomplir par leur travail, qui devient parfois un simple moyen, mais par leurs loisirs. Le terme «divertissement» est employé comme une occupation qui écarte, qui détourne l’être humain des pensées angoissantes, comme la mort, et des problèmes qui devraient le préoccuper. Le loisir, qui vient du verbe latin licere, être permis, est un temps de liberté, où l'on a permission...

...there would be enough dimensional lumber to get you to the moon and back six times. Clearly something needs to be done about new construction, remodeling and demolition because of the major negative effects the results are having on the planet Earth. Land resources and the environment are affected by all forms of construction activities. The environment is impacted directly, with regard to the actual tract of land affected and the immediately surrounding area (Yeang, 1999). Moreover, there are various indirect impacts which result from construction activities with wide ranging ecological, social and economic outcomes. These consequences have traditionally been negative, with land resources destroyed in the aspiration of development of buildings and infrastructure. Therefore, it is clear that issues relating to the environment and natural resources are irrefutably linked to construction processes. Construction is the assembling of components or materials together in order to make a structure for a particular purpose – such as providing shelter for...

...controlled environment. Students of CEC from IIM Raipur created and conceptualized a simulation game, REAL-TY-COON. The main objective of the game is to replicate real life scenario of construction business. The game is based on the concept of demand and supply and how market prices of products are determined. The game consisted of 5 set of teams. 4 set of teams played the role of suppliers and 1 played the role of builders. The division of teams was done as follows: Team Type | Teams | No. of Players | Builders | 5 | 4 | Cement Suppliers | 3 | 2 | Sand Suppliers | 3 | 2 | Stone Suppliers | 3 | 2 | Steel Suppliers | 3 | 2 | The game has 5 rounds. In each round, builders have to build a specific building allocated to them. To build any of the buildings, they have to buy adequate amount of cement, stone, steel and sand from the suppliers. They will be provided with fixed initial amount of cash. Builders can approach bank to get additional cash at a fixed rate of 10% which will be applicable for that round only, carrying forward loan for each extra round will attract an additional 5% rate per round. In case the builders are not able to get a deal from the suppliers in the stipulated time, they need to purchase the required materials by the bank at a fixed rate which might be higher as compared to the market prices. The suppliers will be provided with fixed inventory at the beginning of the game. The Cost Price of the materials will be disclosed only to the suppliers...

...people are what nick said they were or will they will turn out to be “The Eyes”. I look at one of them across from me; he looked back. We’re taking you to the eyes headquarters; you’re assigned a room number when we get there. He says. Despite the fear I was in, I nodded. Nick lied to me; these people weren’t Mayday, their “The Eyes”. Why would nick do this? This is something I will never know, it’s too late to do anything about it. After what seems to be two hours the van finally comes to a stop. I was expecting the worse to come. The double doors open, they take me by the elbows once again to help me out, it seemed to be around dawn time. There were about five buildings labeled with numbers. They lead me to building number two; there were other handmaids that look like they were captured by the eye. Entering the building I felt anxiety, I questioned myself what was going to happen to me? Does this mean I go straight to the colonies? Am I going to be tortured? Instead they put me in a waiting room for now. Minutes later a woman steps into the room. You’re another one of them that just don’t listen. You’re assigned room 220. She said. I nodded. She took me to my room and closed the door. The room smells of mothballs, or is that odor death. I sat on the bed observing the room, there was a window cracked open. I thought to myself this will be a perfect...

...My ideal house My ideal house would cost a great many thousands of dollars and therefore, even if I am very successful in life, I do not suppose that I shall possess it for a very long time. However there is no harm in dreaming, especially if the dream provides the driving force to turn fantasy into fact. As I live in Singapore, i would like my ideal house to be situated either on one of the residential estates, right outside the bustle of the city center, or on one of the coast roads so that the cool breezes from the ever beautiful China sea could waft through my windows. Wherever my house was, it would stand in it sown grounds so that I would not, on any side, be over-looked by neighbors. The gardens, with which it would be surrounded would be very beautiful, full of colorful tropical flowers; orchids and canna lilies and with many glowing flowering shrubs such as bougainvillaea and frangipani. There would be tall leafy trees for shade and underneath them, my private swimming bath would be built, where we could relax and swim in the heat of the day. there would be pleasant paths winding through the green grass and comfortable seats where my family and I could rest, when the day's toil was over. The house itself would be built of white stone which is both cool and weather-proof. It would be on two storeys, because I like the habit of sleeping upstairs. It would embody features from both the Eastern and Western worlds. In front of it, I would have a large path with...

...To Mr., I would like to interest you in a business proposition. I have a land venture that I would love for you to invest in with me. Your investment money would help me purchase the property and the materials needed to build the homes on them. I will then turn around to sell them for a very high profit that we will share in. The property I have in mind to purchase is in Florida. The land is dirt cheap since it is located in the swamps. Of course, we won’t tell that to the buyers. I will be doing a lot of the selling online so that the prospective suckers (I mean buyers) will be none the wiser. I will be building one house impeccably the others will be made cheaply. The first home will be the bait home, of course. My cousin owns a construction company and has cheap laborers and knows how to cut corners for the rest of the homes so that the buyers are none the wiser. With the money we save off of the cheap labor, homes, plus the very cheap land, we will increase our money by over 400% mark up value. We can also, have a secondary business going to get rid of the alligators off the property once the buyers figure out that they are there. So the money will just keep rolling in. If you are interesting investing in this lucrative deal please get a hold of me. Sincerely, Your...

...window and $250, he only has a window. Consequently, the glazier’s gain of business is the tailor’s loss of business. No new employment has been added. A new window will be seen in the next day or two. But the suit will not because it will not be made. This fallacy can be related to a modern-day situation. When a city decides to employ its city workers or a construction firm to rebuild some sidewalks, it may feel that it is increasing the beautification of the city while also employing some individuals. However, by choosing to remodel the public sidewalk, the city is forgoing leaving it as it is and instead building on empty land or an abandoned property. This would not only employ the construction workers for the duration of the construction (which is sure to last longer than building a sidewalk), but also the increased number of people that will be employed at the new building. The impact of this is will be felt much greater by not only the city but also the economy as a whole. The choice to build the sidewalks instead results in a loss of...

...plaintiff damages only against James Sullivan and the Keyman's Club in the amount of $3,000. From this judgment these two defendants appeal. They contend that the plaintiff failed to prove, as she was required to prove in order to recover under the statute, that she was lawfully present on the defendants' premises and that she did not provoke the dog to attack. Alternatively the defendants contend that the amount of the damage award is not supported by the evidence. The plaintiff suffered her injuries in the Keyman's Club building, 4721 West Madison Street in the City of Chicago. Located on the lower level and on the first and second stories of this building were the following: a bowling alley, a barber shop, a cocktail lounge, banquet and meeting rooms, a ballroom and various other businesses and offices.
