Reconsidering Read-Aloud By Mary Lee Hahn
2002 | 168 Pages | ISBN: 1571103511 | PDF | 2 MB
Read-aloud is a time of enjoyment and relaxation for teachers and students-a time when powerful, effective teaching and rigorous learning can take place while keeping the pleasures of reading front and center.Reconsidering Read-Aloud invites you to examine both the spontaneous and planned conversations that take place around read-aloud. If these conversations are led by a teacher who knows books and authors as well as language arts standards, outcomes, and objectives, read-aloud will be a time of teaching that doesn't need a script or a lesson plan to validate it and learning that doesn't need a product to measure it.Drawing on her career as a fourth- and fifth-grade teacher and her knowledge of children's literature, Mary Lee Hahn shows you how to make your read-alouds count. She providesclassroom vignettes that demonstrate how read-aloud conversations are teachable moments;a practical application of the Apprenticeship Model of teaching, including an appendix that shows how the concepts modeled during read-aloud workshop can be used independently by students in Reading at Home assignments;suggestions for choosing books, including an appendix that charts a collection of popular read-alouds;examples of teaching strategies that work especially well during all read-alouds, fiction and nonfiction;a discussion of the role of evaluation and assessment in read-aloud.Reconsidering Read-Aloud is a compelling example of the richness that can be found in this daily classroom event. With a love of literature, knowledge of her students, and the desire to teach kids to deeply, every teacher can bring the joy of teaching and learning during read-aloud to the classroom.

Recommender Systems for Information Providers: Designing Customer Centric Paths to Information By Andreas W. Neumann (auth.)
2009 | 158 Pages | ISBN: 3790821330 | PDF | 7 MB
Information providers are a very promising application area of recommender systems due to the general problem of assessing the quality of information products prior to the purchase. Recommender systems automatically generate product recommendations: customers profit from a faster finding of relevant products, stores profit from rising sales. All aspects of recommender systems are covered: the economic background, mechanism design, a survey of systems in the Internet, statistical methods and algorithms, service oriented architectures, user interfaces, as well as experiences and data from real-world applications. Specific solutions for areas with strong privacy concerns, scalability issues for large collections of products, as well as algorithms to lessen the cold-start problem for a faster return on investment of recommender projects are addressed. This book describes all steps it takes to design, implement, and successfully operate a recommender system for a specific information platform.

Reclaiming the Center: Confronting Evangelical Accommodation in Postmodern Times By Millard J. Erickson, Paul Kjoss Helseth, Justin Taylor
2004 | 368 Pages | ISBN: 1581345682 | PDF | 2 MB
"When evangelicals confuse an improper passion for novelty with a proper pursuit of academic and pastoral relevance, the results can be distressing. I cannot express how grateful I am for the well-formed wisdom with which this book points to the abiding and decisive relevance for future route-finding of the old theological paths." -J. I. Packer, Professor, Regent College "For those evangelicals who-like myself-are increasingly troubled by extravagant claims made by various evangelical scholars about the nature of the 'postmodern' challenge, as well as by earnest calls to develop new epistemological and theological perspectives in response to this challenge, the writers of these essays shed much light. This book is must-reading for everyone who wants to promote a clear-thinking evangelicalism for our contemporary context." -Richard J. Mouw, President and Professor of Christian Philosophy, Fuller Seminary "Here is a collection of intelligent, provocative, gutsy essays that dare to fly into the eye of the scholarly storm over evangelical identity. Though different perspectives are present even here, the underlying thesis is clear and worth heeding: the eager, and sometimes uncritical, embrace of postmodernist paradigms may be as premature as it has proven to be unproductive for the well-being of the evangelical church. One of the most important books of the new century!" -Timothy George, Dean, Beeson Divinity School, Samford University "Provocative, timely, and controversial!" -Donald G. Bloesch, Professor of Theology Emeritus, Dubuque Theological Seminary "Compromise and confusion stand at the center of evangelicalism's theological crisis, and a clear-headed and convictional analysis of the problem has been desperately needed. Thankfully, Reclaiming the Center has arrived just in time. . . . My fervent hope is that it will open evangelical eyes, humble evangelical hearts, and awaken this generation to the peril of accommodationism." -R. Albert Mohler, Jr., President, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary "The authors of this well-designed volume provide a bold and well-argued response to what is sometimes called 'postconservative evangelicalism.' This important conversation regarding the essence, center, and boundaries of evangelicalism is here explored, interpreted, and assessed from a well-informed theological, philosophical, and historical perspective. . . . I heartily commend this volume and trust it will find a large readership." -David S. Dockery, President, Union University

This bookis a one-stop guide to the revival of social democratic and socialist politics across the region.At the end of the Cold War, after decades of neoliberal domination and the "Washington Consensus," it seemed that the left was finished in Latin America.

From the anti-imperialism of the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas in Venezuela, Bolivia and Cuba, to the more gradualist routes being taken in Chile, Argentina and Brazil, Reclaiming Latin America gives a real sense of the plurality of political responses to popular discontent.

Rechtsformwahl bei Outbound-Investitionen aus steuerrechtlicher Perspektive: Grundung einer ausländischen Betriebsstätte bzw. Tochtergesellschaft, dargestellt am Beispiel Russland By Dmitri Astrinski
2007 | 92 Pages | ISBN: 383665363X | PDF | 1 MB
In den letzten Jahren haben die deutschen Unternehmen ihre ausländischen Aktivitäten mit einer positiven Auswirkung sowohl auf Umsätze als auch auf Gewinne ausgeweitet. Viele Großkonzerne und mittelständische Unternehmen versuchen sich von der unbeständigen deutschen Binnenkonjunktur abzulösen und ihre Umsatzquellen international breit zu diversifizieren. Aufgrund von teilweise besseren Standortbedingungen (zu den wichtigsten zählen nach Unternehmensangaben Steuern und Arbeitskosten) werden außerdem zunehmend Produktionsstätten ins Ausland verlagert.Sofern die Unternehmensleitung eine Entscheidung hinsichtlich der internationalen Expansion fällt, sind, abhängig von den konkreten Plänen des Unternehmens, diverse Organisationsformen für die Durchführung des ausländischen Engagements möglich. Wenn es sich z. B. um Vertrieb handelt, kann sich das Management zwischen dem Direktvertrieb, der aus Deutschland erfolgt, und Unternehmenspräsenz vor Ort entscheiden. Die erste Variante ist besonders am Anfang interessant, zu dem Zeitpunkt, wenn die Unsicherheit über künftige Geschäftsentwicklung noch relativ hoch erscheint. Sofern allerdings das Unternehmen im ausländischen Staat Fuß gefasst hat, wird eine Niederlassung vor Ort besonders im Hinblick auf die Konkurrenz i. d. R. unerlässlich; sie ist auch nötig, wenn die Errichtung einer Produktionsstätte im ausländischen Staat vorgesehen ist.Die zwei wichtigsten Rechtsformen, die ein Unternehmen für sein ausländisches Engagement nutzen kann, sind Betriebsstätte und Tochtergesellschaft, die aufgrund von nationalen Bestimmungen ausländischer Staaten unterschiedliche Vor- und Nachteile aufweisen. Die Differenzen bestehen nicht nur hinsichtlich gesellschaftsrechtlicher Fragestellungen, sondern auch im Hinblick auf die steuerlichen Konsequenzen, die sich sowohl im nationalen als auch im internationalen Kontext ergeben.Der Zweck dieser Arbeit besteht darin, aufzuzeigen, welche Rechtsform sich bei der Tätigung des ausländischen Geschäfts in bestimmten Situationen aus steuerlicher Perspektive als vorteilhaft aufweist.

Recharge Your Team: The Grounded Visioning Approach By Jay W. Vogt
2008 | 220 Pages | ISBN: 0313355428 | PDF | 1 MB
As most managers know, you need a vision to motivate employees to achieve goals. But people, and companies, lose focus, and the future appears hazy. People say, We're getting stale, or, I just don't know where we're headed. Leaders know they need a vision to bring people together. And they know a good vision will renew enthusiasm and commitment. But waiting for inspiration rarely works-sometimes you need a vision now. But how? Recharge Your Team not only shows managers how to create an effective vision-it shows how to do it in as little as four hours, using a time-tested, proven approach.Traditionally, companies call in consultants to help create a vision. Experts can help-for $4,000 per day plus expenses. And then there's the time involved: Visioning efforts can take months. This book offers a less-expensive, faster method. Called Grounded Visioning, and based on a concept called appreciative inquiry, the process allows groups to come up with a revitalizing vision that everyone buys into in half a day or less. How? As this book shows, the key is to be sure everyone takes part, to base the vision on how the team acts when at its best, and to imagine a vision bold enough to inspire but practical enough to feel achievable. This book covers the six quick but essential steps that ensure such results-with small teams or large groups. And any manager, not just trainers or HR people, can lead a successful Grounded Visioning session. Grounded visioning is a breakthrough concept of breathtaking simplicity and power that any leader can put to use today. It works, because it frees employees to share their dreams, hopes, and aspirations. As they soar, a vision naturally arises that recharges the team.
