Don't Ditch The Happy Sheets (7 Ways To Get Valuable Feedback)
The usefulness of evaluation forms (or so-called happy sheets) has been a hot topic for years. Some experts even challenge us to ditch them completely. Of course you will always have attendees who use happy sheets to make comments about the trainer's accent being too strong (accent, moi?) or that the trainer was sitting on the arm rest (when training in a rather health and safety conscious refinery). But with the right questions, happy sheets can be extremely useful to redefine your ...
Capitalist Philosophers, the genius of modern business
All to often we criminalize and character assassinate our over achievers. In the business world it is no different. We attack those superstars, which deliver to our civilizations those things we need and desire. We even have government agencies all set up to attack these individuals so we all can feel better about our own mediocrity. We call them liars, cheaters and fraudsters. We allow government agencies to put them in jail or file lawsuits so that the weak can feel good, even though they ...

Genghis Khan Smith
GENGHIS KHAN: - My father told me that he was a red head among a dark-haired people as I grew up. It made a lasting impression on a freckle-faced boy. Many other 'red heads' became the subject of my scrutiny including Jefferson and Jesus (according to Grey Owl in an interesting legend) as my life and studies progressed; but I have never found a definite entry to support what my father said about Temujin although the pictures of Mongols with red hair from the 10th century AD were ...
Finding The Right Homeschool Program
For those just starting out, determining the best homeschool program can be, at the very least, a bit challenging.

Slavery Was Useful
BRITAIN AND BOOTY: The bulk of this chapter will be taken from a book about the War of 1812. I must deconstruct the generalities and interpret the meaning as it relates to our investigation of hegemony and cronyism or Synarchy. Officers in the wars of these times got a percentage of the booty their underlings took. They also were frequently aligned with the enemy or other side as you can see in the movie Braveheart. The Black Market in modern wars has a lot of the same kind of ...
How Long Does it Take to Design and Develop a Training Activity?
That's a question often asked on one or two of the training fora I visit occasionally. Unfortunately, the question falls within the unknowable category much like the question, 'How long is a piece of string?' Equally unfortunate is that respondents give answers that are wild guesses; they've ranged from 40 hours per one hour of training and various nominal percentages during the past six months.

Homeschool Classroom Setting
If at all possible, the homeschool education classroom setting should be a specific room, or at least an area of the home. And even better, this room or area should only be used for your homeschool education organization. It’s important that your students associate this room with that of focus and learning. If a separate area for home study schooling is not possible then make sure the area you do use is free from clutter and other non topical material that could be distraction when the home ...

According to The American Heritage Dictionary, they belong to the biological order of Lepidoptera, and have distinct characteristics: slender bodies, knobbed antennae, and four wings (Dictionary.com).

Training Tesla
There is an unpublished autobiography of Tesla available for free on the web. It details how Tesla’s father became a cleric after having been a military person. This father then tried to make Tesla into a cleric. I see the Bairdic and minstrel training was part of what young Tesla was required to do by his father. The brain is now proven to have about 350,000 connections and many of them atrophy if not properly used or activated early in life. His father was a great spiritual orator and may ...
