This book was released on 2014-05-21 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can We Restore American Standards? The truth is America has been systematically corrupted by several past Governments; there are Valid DVDS by PBS and other sources that you will find in this book to explain how this came about. But, it goes much earlier than that! It goes back into the 1800s when Thinking men considered ancient beliefs of the Veda, Buddhism, Jesus Christ: saving our souls, and Darwins Evolution, - trying to confront Reality. Germany: a forerunner in science, had Wilhelm Wundt a psychologist and a leader with a new understanding of the reality of Darwin and evolution declared in a party of interested persons that Man is only an animal and has no soul that can be demonstrated; the same with God and Religion; both of them are the myths of the old people; man is an evolved chimpanzee and should be treated like an animal with a brain and nervous system, and to be observed for abnormal behavior and treated as such. Russian observers agreed and together with Germany formed the National Education (NEA) of teachers, and the birth of psychiatry. There is more but it is in my book, and the source is a well-distinguished school teacher: Samuel L.Blumenfeld and author of: N.E.A. Trojan Horse in American Education The First Full-Length Expose of The National Education Association. 1949-1984. Since then, American psychiatry has invaded our schools, colleges, universities, State and Federal Governments and you will learn how and what they did to our Country. They have sought to destroy our education, religion, morals, field of medicine, the laws and our courtsand today we have illiteracy, mental illness, drug addiction, adultery, living together without marriage (responsibility), prostitution, mass shootings of family, teachers and friends, and often themselves. And etc. Again, I repeat: Can We Restore American Standards? If I provide you with all the tools or rsources that wlll help you do the job would you be willing to become a Problem Solver? A person desiring to be a Problem Solver would be dealing with his/her environment with one or more persons and also promoting the IDEA through his/her Facebook connections so it could become world-wideperhaps like telepathy. But, read the two pages of the Contents and see for yourself the huge scope of help you will receive for common problems of illiteracy, what causes disease, how to attain optimum health and happiness. The persons you help, your children, and their future generations will all appreciate your help. So will I.

If Cubicles Could TalkConversation for the Female New Hire in Corporate America helps the corporate professional avoid the office clatter chatter that goes a little like this: Can you believe shes actually wearing that outfit to work?!* Could she have been more drunk at the bosss party? Somebody needs to say something to her about her body odor. I cant believe she was polishing her nails at her desk! Whats up with her always on the phone with her boyfriend? Why does she have such an attitude? Why does she act so helpless? Doesnt she get it? Most corporate professionals have heard, made, thought or heard other people think at least one of those comments about someone in the office. Or worse, some corporate professionals believe one of those comments could have been made, heard, or thought about them! The point: perception is reality. The way a corporate professional behaves at work determines how she is perceivedand her perception impacts her success. And so knowing how to act in corporate America is key to creating the perceptions needed for success.

Download or read book The Game written by Kim Beamon and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2001-10-09 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Working in corporate America is like surviving in the world of sports: there are things to win, theres competition, there are teams and teammates, people play certain positions, managers are coaches, employees have game plans, and the business year is often divided into quarters. At work, the corporate professional is also a business athlete. At work, the corporate professional is actually in a game. At work, the corporate professional is personally responsible to play his position. At work, there is a specific set of rules for the corporate professional to follow. And though the rules may seem unfair, at work, the corporate professional will need to follow the rules to win. The reader is treated as if hes a professional basketball player going into his rookie season. Chapters mirror the players life as an athlete. Before the real work-season starts, the business athlete spends time in pre-season. First and second quarter, halftime, third and fourth quarter reflect the actual activity at work. The off-season represents a time at work when the corporate professional begins to leave his new-hire or rookie status to become a seasoned player. A final chapter offers business advice to keep the corporate professional motivated. The chapter format is simple: business rules followed by explanations, and random mixtures of anecdotes and sports analogies called, Sports Talk. Sports Talk helps to draw comparisons to similar rules or principles in the game of basketball. For concepts that require more details and examples, Appendices are used for reference. The Appendix also includes a recommended book list and a listing of helpful Internet sites. The Game assists the corporate professional in turning unconscious mistakes and blunders into purposeful and directed strategies for success, saving both time and money. For the employeevaluable time making mistakes. For the companylarge amounts of time and money spent paying for those mistakes. In a fast-paced read, what The Game teaches typically takes the corporate professional years to learn and could cost a corporation multiple thousands of dollars to address. Success in corporate America depends on ones ability to get in the game, master the fundamentals, execute offensively, understand your position, and play to win! The Game is a complete resource for what it takes to win at work. The time spent reading this book will develop, and refine: Mental toughnessWardrobe selectionOrganizational skillsSocial habitsPerformance measurementsRelational skillsPersonal growthFinancial endeavorsProfessional opportunities The Game is for the reader who is: Graduating college and entering a professional jobCurrently a new hire within his first 12-24 months at workAn intern or temp seeking permanent employmentOn the job, but suspects something is holding him backAlready working, but needs an edgePreparing to enter the workplace for the first time or again!

Download or read book Teaching and Learning with Technology written by Concetta M. Stewart and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-07-02 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, new media is both augmenting and extending the traditional classroom with a variety of technology-based tools available to both students and faculty, and has created "new" virtual classrooms for anywhere, anytime availability to education. Despite the enormous potential for technology to support the educational enterprise in this emerging "creative" economy, technologies are still not yet fully integrated in the classroom and their association with educational outcomes is as-yet unclear. This book profiles scholarly work from around the world to examine closely the effectiveness of the newest media in education at bridging the gaps among and between teachers, students and subject matter at all levels, from K-12 through adult education. These pieces are theory-based investigations with implications for future research, theory and application. Contributors examine how the fields of education and new media have evolved and are continuing to evolve pedagogically and practically, from predominantly instructivist, with a passive, one-way teaching format; to constructivist, including teacher- and learner-controlled, sensorially immersive and socially interactive exchanges. This book will be of interest to students and faculty in the areas of new media in education, including distance learning, online learning and "virtual" learning.
