Do you remember a time when you used the right words at the right
moment, and they made all the difference? With the aim of helping
you repeat that experience every day, this book provides hundreds
of examples of what we call "Best Practice Language" (BPL), a
research-based technique designed to help teachers use words to
improve student behavior - in the classroom and beyond. In their
years of working at the K-12 levels, educators Hal Holloman and
Peggy H. Yates have identified the exact phrases and key words you
can use to handle: recurring disruptions, inappropriate outbursts,
and students' low self-confidence, among other classroom realities.
BPL will enable you to: Set your expectations clearly on the first
day of school Prevent and resolve conflicts between students Create
a safe haven for shy, apprehensive students Establish meaningful
relationships with students built on trust Help students foster a
respect for themselves, their peers, and for adults Maintain a
positive classroom environment that encourages personal
responsibility Whether you're a new teacher, a veteran teacher, a
pre-service teacher, or school administrator, the tools in this
book will help you use words effectively, in ways that resonate
with students and provide them with clear and promising direction.
Shenandoah County, in the years prior to the Civil War, was a
prosperous place. Nestled within the Shenandoah Valley, it was a
haven for agricultural commerce fueled by slave labor. Integral
railways and transportation routes passed through Shenandoah
County, feeding its impressive agricultural output throughout the
Virginia. With the outbreak of Civil War, all of that would change.
Four major battles took place in and around Shenandoah County New
Market, Toms Brook, Fishers Hill, and Cedar Creek. Although the
proceedings of these historic battles have been well-documented,
the effect the combat had on residents of Shenandoah County has
receded into the background. Now, author Hal Shape brings the lives
of county residents to fore, recounting how their spirits were
tested during this dark hour of American history.

'Psycho' meets 'Hotel California' horror in which a young couple
are trapped, awaiting their fate. For young couple Amy and David
Fox (Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson), a long day bickering in
their car suddenly gets much worse when they break down in the
middle of nowhere. Luckily for them they find a motel and settle
down to watch some TV. Concern rises when they realise the 'snuff'
movies the motel thoughtfully supply for their guests seem vaguely
familiar. Discovering hidden cameras, they realise that they are
about to star in the performance of their lives, or rather the end
of it, unless they can somehow escape.

What does it mean to make Christlike disciples? Discipleship is a
common word in churches today. Pastors and leaders are continually
looking for resources to help their members develop a deeper
understanding of the Christian faith and a closer relationship with
Christ. But there's more to discipleship than studying and
following Christ's teachings. True discipleship is an invitation to
become like Christ; to absorb His passions, behaviors, and wisdom
by spending significant time with Him; to engage in a relationship
with Him that shapes you into His likeness and in turn, inspires
others to do the same. Walk with Me calls pastors, church leaders,
teachers, and parents to go beyond basic discipleship and begin to
intentionally teach others to be disciplemakers. It explores the
importance of teaching mature disciples how their Christ-influenced
responses to everyday situations can be used to show others who
Jesus is and what it means to be His disciple. With biblical
insight, author Hal Perkins explores the call to 'go and make
disciples of all nations' and demonstrates how changing the way we
act, think, and serve will not only help us fulfill the Great
Commission, but also answer the call to love God with all our
hearts and minds, and our neighbor as ourselves.
What's wrong with this famous picture? "Front Page Photo Puzzles"
has all the challenge and fun of photo puzzles, but it features
iconic photos, current and classic, from the V-J Day kiss in Times
Square to Barack Obama's inauguration.
Fans of photo puzzles get a visual treat with this awesome
collection of famous photos that define watershed moments in
history. Author Hal Buell, who edited photographs for the
Associated Press for more than 40 years, has chosen images for
their historical significance, pairing them with in-depth captions.
These amazing photos are the basis of three different types of
puzzles of all difficulty levels. Readers can compare two versions
of an image to find the difference; four versions of an image to
determine which one has been changed; or look at a single iconic
image to determine where it has been altered. An easy-to-use answer
key in the back of the book makes scoring a snap.
Live action adaptation of the story by Rudyard Kipling. Mowgli
(Jamie Williams), a young boy living in the jungles of India, is
having fun playing chase with a group of monkeys when he is spotted
by Harrison (Bill Campbell), a talent scout for a circus who sees
potential in the young boy and his vine-swinging skills. As
Harrison closes in on his potential new client, Mowgli's jungle
pals team up to save their human friend.
There are twenty-seven books in the traditional New Testament, but
the early-Christian community was far more vibrant than that small
number might lead you to think. In fact, many more scriptures were
written and were just as important as the New Testament in shaping
early-Christian communities and beliefs. Over the past century,
many of those texts that were lost have been found and translated,
yet they are rarely read in contemporary churches; they are
discussed mainly by scholars or within a context only of gnostic
gospels. In A New New Testament Hal Taussig seeks to change that.
That monkey could be someone else's problem! This book, one of the most liberating in the extraordinary One Minute Manager Library, teaches an unforgettable lesson: how to save time to do what you want and need to do. Step by step the authors show how managers can free themselves from doing everyone else's job and ensure that every problem is handled by the proper person. By using the Four Rules of Monkey Management, managers will learn to become effective supervisors of time, energy and talent – especially their own. "With humour and logic the authors describe the delicate business of assigning monkeys to the right masters and keeping them healthy…Can lead to effective delegation" PUBLISHERS WEEKLY

East Asia has been an area of high economic growth for several
decades. The East Asian High-Tech Drive argues that to maintain the
growth momentum, the more advanced East Asian economies need to pay
particular attention to policies designed to upgrade their
industrial capabilities. The authors argue that effectively
functioning institutions, predictable commercial policies,
investments in human capital and infrastructure, openness and
macroeconomic stability are essential for growth and technological
development. Regarding the two lower income economies in the
sample, Indonesia is found to have the smallest improvement in the
skill intensity of its exports, while the Philippines has
registered the slowest economic growth. For both countries,
industrial upgrading issues are not as imperative as achieving or
regaining rapid, labour-intensive growth as both recently
experienced major political instabilities.Yun-Peng Chu and Hal Hill
have gathered together a strong and cohesive collection of papers
written by country experts on the issue of high-tech
industrialization in East Asia. They present case studies of
Singapore, Korea, Taiwan, Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, the
PRC and Indonesia. The book uses a new measure of the skill
intensity of exports that, it is argued, deepens our understanding
of industrialization trajectories in this important and dynamic
region. There are also detailed examinations and assessments of
government policies in each economy. The editors have prepared an
overview chapter that summarizes and integrates the main results of
cross-country comparisons in a coherent manner. Academics, scholars
and researchers of economic development, industrial and technology
studies and Asian studies will all find much to engage them within
this book.

This volume presents a scholarly insider's perspective on the Asian
economic crisis, examining the social, economic and political
consequences of the crisis in six influential Asian economies:
Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand.
Each chapter contains an analysis of the events leading up to and
during the crisis, the social impacts and an assessment of possible
futures for these countries. The contributors expertise and use of
up-to-date data ensures an integrated approach by which the process
of economic change can be understood.The book reveals that
professional workers in the urban financial sector, as well as
manual labourers in the export sector, felt the most dramatic
effects. Impacts on the latter group resulted in a significant rise
in the population living below the poverty line. The book
emphasises the previous absence of strong social security 'nets'
and the need to strengthen macroeconomic policies and
institutional, legal, regulatory and supervisory structures. Other
topics covered include intractable government corruption and fiscal
management. The Social Impact of the Asian Financial Crisis has a
unique perspective that will ensure greater understanding of the
causes and consequences of the crisis in six major economies and as
such will appeal to academics, researchers and policymakers
involved in Asian politics and development economics.
It has become conventional wisdom that America and China are
running a “superpower marathon” that may last a century. Yet
Hal Brands and Michael Beckley pose a counterintuitive question:
What if the sharpest phase of that competition is more like a
decade-long sprint? The Sino-American contest is driven by clashing
geopolitical interests and a stark ideological dispute over whether
authoritarianism or democracy will dominate the 21st century. But
both history and China’s current trajectory suggest that this
rivalry will reach its moment of maximum danger in the 2020s. China
is at a perilous moment: strong enough to violently challenge the
existing order, yet losing confidence that time is on its side.
Numerous examples from antiquity to the present show that rising
powers become most aggressive when their fortunes fade, their
difficulties multiply, and they realise they must achieve their
ambitions now or miss the chance to do so forever. China has
already started down this path. Witness its aggression toward
Taiwan, its record-breaking military buildup and its efforts to
dominate the critical technologies that will shape the world’s
future. Over the long run, the Chinese challenge will most likely
prove more manageable than many pessimists currently believe—but
during the 2020s, the pace of Sino-American conflict will
accelerate, and the prospect of war will be frighteningly real.
America, Brands and Beckley argue, will still need a sustainable
approach to winning a protracted global competition. But first, it
needs a near-term strategy for navigating the danger zone ahead.
A “smart, honest, and down-to-earth” (Elizabeth Kolbert)
citizen’s guide to the seven urgent changes that
will really make a difference for our climate. If you
think the only thing you can do to combat climate change is to
install a smart thermostat or cook plant-based meat, you’re
thinking too small. In The Big Fix, energy policy advisor Hal
Harvey and longtime New York Times reporter Justin
Gillis offer a new, hopeful way to engage with one of the greatest
problems of our age. Writing in a lively, accessible style, the
pair illuminate how the really big decisions that
affect our climate get made—whether by the most obscure public
utilities commissions or in the lofty halls of state capitols—and
reveal how each of us can influence these decisions to deliver
change. The pair focus on the seven areas of our political economy
where ambitious but practical changes will have the greatest
effect: from what kind of power plants to build to how much
insulation new houses require to how efficient cars must be before
they’re allowed on the road. Equal parts pragmatic and
inspiring—and “full of illustrative stories and compelling
evidence” (Al Gore)—The Big Fix provides an action plan
for anyone serious about holding our governments accountable and
saving our threatened planet.
