Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Con-sis-ten-cy n 1: degree of firmness or resistance to movement 2: measure of harmony, regularity or steady continuity 3: harmony of conduct or practice with the plan Is the frustration of executing consistent business plans becoming a burden Whether you're the manager of a small company or the CEO of a large public firm, author Mark Turner provides real techniques and solutions to help identify and eliminate what he calls The Consistency Gap. The Consistency Gap focuses on two key elements that have the power to unravel all the devotion and dedication in any enterprise: information and tolerance. Turner discusses how the gap between the planning stage and the execution of that plan has the potential to cause an entire project to fail. The Consistency Gap demonstrates how this gap can be bridged, reduced, or even removed with a structured and workable plan. Through the use of fascinating imagery including circuit breakers and fuses, Turner forces readers to look at their own personal 'fuse ratings' in two critical areas. It quickly becomes obvious that there is more to success than a great plan and the means to execute it. The Consistency Gap provides a unique outline for setting goals, deciding how to achieve those goals, and how to be successful every time.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Much of what I have written about derives from my own personal experience with meditation and other activities associated with spiritual states. A hallmark of understanding the workings of meditation is the experiential aspect. One cannot truly understand it just through the intellect. One must experience it directly to comprehend fully. The authors of the recently published book Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy for Depression, all seasoned psychologists, wrote about this issue. In attempting to incorporate Jon Kabat-Zinn's time-tested Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Program into their own cognitive approaches in treating depression, they realized that hearing and thinking about the methods were not enough. They needed to be deeply engaged in the Mindfulness practices themselves before they had a true comprehension. They also realized in order to effectively treat depressed people with this technique, during teaching, they needed to remain in a mindful state themselves for the students to gain maximal understanding. When one has a direct experience, it can have powerful effects on belief. Such was my own as it pertains to spirituality and might explain why, as a scientist, I felt the need to search for clearer understanding of it.…

He loved his family and friends, and he spent time counseling families, and encouraging the youth in the Community. Many of these poems reveal his emotions at the time they were written, as he helped these families through their trials and tribulations. There are happy ones, - sad ones, - hopeful ones, and religious ones. In fact, many speak on 'Life's problems' and how to cope with them. He especially loved Christmas and wrote about all of the Holidays.Of the group of 200 poems that we now havethe oldest dated one was written in 1933, and there are 56 which have no date. He probably wrote at least one poem per year most years. His most prolific years of writing were the WWII years 1939 through 1945. It was in those years that he wrote about his concern for Service Men, - World Peace, - Freedom, - and the Brotherhood of Man. These concerns seemed to be of great importance to him at that time.Many of these poems are based of events of his life, such as 'My Childhood Home,'-'The Pea Ridge School,' -'When Tom and I Were Boys,' remembering his happy childhood. Both 'The Presence,' and 'My Call,' reveal his feelings as a young man and his call to enter the ministry in 1914.Dad wrote about his own father, 'The Farmer,' who was a farmer for all of his life, beginning in the 1800's. He worked the land with a horse and a mule, from daylight until dark to provide for his family.'In later years he wrote of his father in the poem 'The Pilgrim at Sunset,' and read it at his funeral. He wrote of his Mother in poems, 'In Remembrance,' 'To Honor Mother,' and 'A Funeral Prayer.'In 'A Call and A Romance,' he wrote of a young man at Tarleton College, who became a minister with his help and guidance, and the two were always close. 'A Call and A Romance' is a story of Hayden Edwards and his wife, Jessie. And later, 'That Friend of Mine' revealed Dad's feelings upon the early death of this good friend.Dad wrote several poems about the earth and the seasons and their effect on man and the creatures of the earth. He was most observant in 'Autumn,' -'The North Wind,'-'The Blizzard,' - 'Showers,'-'The Breath of Spring,' and 'That's Winter.'In 'Snapshots' he described my Mother, Pearlie, and I'm sure he had her in mind in the poems 'Romance' and 'Preachers Wives.' He was always close to those of the community as in the poem, 'The Pea Ridge School,' and to the end in, 'They Live On.' He served his Community well and spent many hours in his Model T Ford, traveling from one church to another.He wrote poems of encouragement 'Just Brace Yourself and Take It,' - 'Keep up Your Chin,' as well as others. He wrote poems of prayer and prayers for all who needed special attention Health - Grief, - Relief. One I especially like is 'The Old Prayer Log,' a poem of faith and love of Mom Pearlie's Grandmother, during and after the Civil War.He wrote to all of us in 'Today is Yours,' and 'Your Life is Not Your Own,' And at the end of his life, he wrote 'Weep Not For Me,' and we all knew why. These are my personal observations for some of his poems. I have enjoyed so much saving them for others. He was a wonderful man---MY DAD.Having completed 'The Project' in April of 2003, I feel that I know my Dad better than I did before. I am so glad that I was able to complete the job. My personal outlook on life is far better now. I decided that it is finally time for his book to be published, - and for his dream to come true.THANKS DAD FOR YOUR GOOD WORK.I'll try to pass it on to others. You are still an inspiration for us all!Jerry Lee Oliver Jr. (aka 'JLOJ')May 21, 2003.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Section 36 is a story of several journeys throughout history to a unique section of land deep within the heartland of an inimitable strata of mountains created over 230 million years ago. Tied to this land are the lives of some of the first inhabitants of this scenic wonder, a journal of Wyoming's first Mountain Men and a portrayal of a modern day Wyoming teacher who walks in the mystical pathways of his forbearers. The eternal power of love, vengeance and the search for human fulfillment, mixed with Native American myth and lore, cross many generations as the characters struggle against nature and human vice in their attempt to established a foothold in the rugged beauty of the American West. Are the characters simply destined to play a part in the drama of human existence, or through sheer will of temperament can they learn from past lives and experiences, the ability to mold their own destiny. Travel west with them through the earthquakes and floods of the Mississippi River, the mother who accepts all streams into her womb, as they eke out a foothold along the dark reaches of the Missouri, retracing the route of Lewis and Clark.

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The Polyimagical Realm I must note that as primarily a painter at the time of composing this work (1986) I was also painting 'angels.' They were in figure what I have called personatypes and simulated, imitated realities, yet archÃ(c) and beyond typification (typos) in content. This ambiguity is in fact the subject of this book. The simultaneity of image and immanence is not a problem, except we have no credible concept for simultaneity, or complementarity, and by which ambivalence prevails as the earmark of reality. Now, in the year 2004 it is the least I can say for showing the differences that only analytically repose in mutually exclusive camps, that of C.G. Jung's rigorous and extensive amplification of Freud's Psychoanalytic and the new Post Modern wave of James Hillman's Archetypal Psychology and its polytheistic trimmings. In that case the many gods earn a capital 'G' and in contention with the One God. But speaking as both a painter and a poet I can only fall back on an experiential standpoint, something reminded by Plato 2500 years ago in his Ion dialogue: 'and therefore God takes away the minds of poets, and uses them as his ministers, as he also uses diviners and holy prophets, in order that we who hear them may know that they speak not of themselves who utter these priceless words in a state of unconsciousness, but that God is the speaker, and that through them he is conversing with us.' Bernard X. Bovasso Spring, 2005. …
