  • J.A.M. (Jump and Move): Practical Ideas for JR4H Heart Links Instant
    J.A.M. (Jump And Move): Practical Ideas for JR4H Chad Triolet – [email protected] Chesapeake Public Schools 2011 NASPE Elementary Physical Education Teacher of the Year www.PErocks.com www.noodlegames.net www.youtube.com/user/NoodleGames Heart Links Heart Links are a great way to make some connections for students regarding fundraising and the importance of exercise in building a strong and healthy heart. We use this activity during our Jump Rope for Heart week as a “rest station”. Students complete one heart link each class period and are asked to write down one thing they can do to be heart healthy or a heart healthy slogan. They can decorate them if they would like and then they place them in a basket so that the links can be put together. During class, we connect some of the links then talk about the links at the end of the class as a culminating discussion about the importance of fundraising and exercise. Fundraising – Sometimes a small amount of money does not seem like it makes a difference but if you use the heart chain that is created as an example, students realize that when the links are added together they make a huge chain that goes around the gym. So, every little bit of money collected, no matter how small, adds up and can make a difference. Exercise – In much the same way, daily exercise doesn’t seem like it would have a big effect on how healthy your heart can be. The visual of the heart chain helps the students understand that if you exercise each day, it adds up and builds a strong and healthy heart.

  • Hong Kong's Protests Are About Economic Freedom and Opportunity"
    Commentary Title: "Hong Kong's Protests Are About Economic Freedom and Opportunity" Author(s): Robert Gmeiner, Visiting Assistant Professor of Economics & Bagwell Center Affiliated Faculty Member 2019 Hong Kong’s Protests Are About Economic Freedom and Opportunity Hong Kong is known for its laissez-faire economic system and exceptionally high levels of economic freedom. It has less political freedom than economic freedom, but even this is still good compared to mainland China. Since early spring of 2019, protests have roiled Hong Kong over fears that the mainland government is encroaching on the territory’s autonomy, which has been guaranteed until 2047 by an agreement preceding the 1997 change of sovereignty. These protests have been reported by the western media as opposition to a feared loss of political freedom. Although this may be true, the protests have an even deeper root in economic freedom and opportunity. The protests began in opposition to a proposed law that would allow suspects of crimes to be extradited on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the territory’s government to foreign countries without an extradition agreement with Hong Kong. Alarmingly for the protesters, extradition to mainland China would have been a possibility. There are already suspected instances in which the mainland authorities have secretly renditioned people from Hong Kong to the mainland with political motivation.1 The impetus for the proposed law was the case of Chan Tong-kai, a Hong Kong resident who traveled to Taiwan, killed his pregnant girlfriend who was also from Hong Kong, and returned home. He admitted to the murder but could not be extradited without an agreement.

Their satisfaction is the key to your success. During play, you will generate cash not only by purchasing blocks and receiving rent, but also by constructing businesses and apartments that serve the citizens. The money they spend buying goods in your stores will allow you to outbid your opponents for property at the city auctions, and to expand your empire by diversifying into other stores and services. THE CITIZENS The satisfaction of the citizens should be your most vital concern. Content citizens rent your apartments and shop at your stores, thereby generating your cash flow. Unhappy citizens, however, eventually leave for the suburbs. After all, they have “minds” of their own and will look elsewhere for their needs to be met.
