The structure occupies a one-acre plot of land and the most valuable features include its materials, which result in the structure being well-insulated through its building skin, having a low rate of ventilation, and having minimal heating demands. The house includes a substantial south-facing surface that allows natural light into the rooms and only a small number of windows on the north-facing side of the…

Buildings have the potential to add worth to a community in a monetary manner and to increase the sense of community. Unfortunately, the overlying issue with a majority of buildings built before 1991 is their lack of accessibility for up to 20% of the population (United States Census Bureau 2012). Even worse is that despite laws to ensure building accessibility such as the Americans Disabilities Act (ADA), Texas Accessibility Standards (TAS), and the Fair Housing Accessibility Laws (FHA),…

For most of us who aren’t savvy with carpentry tools and building equipment, it makes perfect sense to hire a professional rather than take on a construction job yourself. However, hiring the wrong general contractor could lead to substandard work, delays, and even legal problems. That is why it is important to choose a highly-experienced builder like Americom Construction Co. Inc. to take care of your residential or commercial construction needs. They have been in the construction industry for…

Successful teams require effective communication and proper guidance. When teams do not communicate the outcome will be lower efficiency, poor morale, and decreased innovation; causing team embers to experience job dissatisfaction. The team process will not work without communication and a common plan (Robbins & Judge, 2011, p. 334).

The Calvin Knights football team has been undefeated since 1879. How is this spectacular feat possible? It has to do with the fact that Calvin does not actually have a football team. And I for one, believe it should stay that way. Despite the many sports fans at Calvin who crave one of America’s favorite past times, the school has yet to assemble a team. Both the Calvin board and others, including me, worry that creating a football team is not in the school’s best interest. The main reason…

we crossed that finish line I felt the best feeling anyone could feel we had been one of the first teams to finish putting us ahead on the scoreboard. All I could feel was exhilaration until I heard “Garner Trojan team disqualified”. JROTC is a program which sets to give the cadets the essentials to becoming better citizens; it offers the opportunity to be the best person one can be. The raider team is no exception, it's a sport that requires mental and physical strength, it tests a person's…

Being an AFJROTC cadet leader is challenging. As Wing Commander of our 250 member Cadet Wing, I had to address an ethical dilemma; leaders dating subordinates; that almost destroyed our drill team. In the US Military, unprofessional relationships are frowned upon as they adversely affect the chain of command due to favoritism.
