Автор собрал воедино наверное все возможные стратегии достижения власти и его описание власти является всесторонним и обдуманным. По сути читателям открыта информация о том, с помощью каких методов на протяжении веков правители и политики приходили, да и сейчас приходят к власти. Книга определенно полезна и не только тем, кто мечтает о власти. Вся наша жизнь состоит из коммуникаций. И не так важно понимать, какие методики и манипуляции использует твой руководитель или просто человек, с которым пришлось столкнуться в жизни, как зная данные стратегии уметь защититься и найти противоядие. Однако, по моему мнению, стратегии приведенные автором, часто пересекаются с общепризнанными принципами этики и морали, перешагнуть через которые под силу не каждому, может быть только видным политическим деятелям, ведь не зря...

...This Blog Linked From Here | This Blog | | ------------------------------------------------- Top of Form Bottom of Form Linked From Here | | Wednesday, October 29, 2014 Action Without Planning Is Like Running Backwards: Powes Parkop’s Growing Buai Ban Fiasco By Beka Maruka I wanted to get the title of this article right first before I wrote the rest of this article. That’s because I want the story of Powes Parkop’s buai ban disaster to go down into internet archives in a way that it can be retrieved many years from now and people of the future will learn from the mistakes of today. The Port Moresby buai ban is almost like a clown show, hilarious in the level of ineptness that its implementers have displayed. It would all be worth a few loud and long laughs if there were not so many tragic elements. I personally believe that our governor should have stuck to paying huge amounts of money to local rental car companies and equally outrageous sums to shady road construction supply companies as was revealed before the 2012 election when NCDC audit records came to light, the findings of which, incidentally, the governor tried at first to escape from, then defended with vague generalities hoping that no one would catch his trick. Be that as it may, the Governor’s earlier sins are fairly well established. However if Governor Parkop had stuck to kickbacks, he probably would have kept his shiny reputation. After all, it is common knowledge that kickbacks are one of...

...Running Head: BIOSTATISTICS IN NURSING: FINAL PAPER Biostatistics in Nursing: Final Paper Richard Hoinacki Nova Southeastern University NUR 3200 Marcia Derby RN, MSN, Asst Prof. October 15, 2008 Many people develop renal disease and once they become diagnosed with End Stage Renal Disease many have only a few choices when it comes to renal replacement modalities. According to Chapman, M., Fink, N., Finkelstein, F., Marsh, J., Meyer, K., Powe, N., Wu, A. (2004), every year in the United States, nearly 90,000 patients with chronic kidney disease progress to ESRD and begin renal replacement therapy. Most patients optimally would prefer a kidney transplant, but many may not have the ability to find a donor and must get on a transplant list. So while they wait for a suitable kidney donor their only option is dialysis. End Stage Renal Disease patients have two choices of dialysis, either hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis. Chronic dialysis can impose a considerable burden on patients and their families, with regards to health care and their quality of life. Many statistical studies have been done to compare the qualities of life with ESRD patients who are on hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. According to Lausevic, M., Nesic, V., Stojanovic, M., Stefanovic, V. (2006), health-related quality of life is a multidimensional concept that includes physical functioning, social functioning, mental health, and general health perceptions. This paper...

Davida Reed lives next to the school and reported that some of the fights have even spilled onto her front yard. “Students just walk up and attack one another, whether it is single fights, whether it is in a group, and with no regard for adults coming” (as cited in Willis, 2013). School violence is a major issue for schools in the United States. Several factors cause school violence like house environment, depression and anxiety,...

...Running head: MENTAL HEALTH: THE AFRICAN AMERICAN PERSPECTIVE Running head: MENTAL HEALTH: THE AFRICAN AMERICAN PERSPECTIVE 2 African Americans living in urban, low-income, impoverished environments are at high risk for exposure to traumatic events, and have a potential prevalence of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) due to previous and repeated trauma exposure. African-Americans living in urban, low income communities with continuous exposure to community violence and previous personal trauma exposure, may have a higher prevalence of PTSD and other mental health disorders. As a result, living in these environments could increase the likelihood of poor social and developmental outcomes, including but not limited to increased anxiety, aggression, depression, and social withdrawal. There are numerous factors that contribute to this hypothesis: African Americans were six times more likely than Whites to be murdered or victimized (Fox & Zawitz, 2002). These include low socioeconomic status, trauma exposure, lack of cultural competency, lack of diversity in the mental health-care work force; the fragmentation of mental health services to include a mix of disparities in private plans’ coverage of mental health services, public insurance and safety net programs, federal laws, and financial barriers. Lack of trust for physicians and health care providers; exposure to urban stressors such as poverty, racism, and violence can also be barriers...

...“It began in images and it ended in symbolism.” – B. W. Powe. There are many examples of symbolism in the novel Night. Today, we will examine the use of the word “corpses”, the use of fire, and the spoon and the knife Elie’s father gave to him. The first example of symbolism in Night is the use of the word “corpses”. “Corpses”, in this situation, does not necessarily mean a dead body. In this case, “corpses” represents the death of the author’s (Elie Wiesel) belief in God. The day Elie and his father arrived at the camp, Elie’s faith slowly began to go away; the Nazis were burning babies in a ditch. His faith in God was truly lost the night the child, Pipel, is hanged. Everyone that witnessed the hanging thought, “Where is God? Where is He?”...

...Running Head: BREAST SELF-EXAMINATION Nursing student perceptions and incidence of performing breast self-examinations related to educational level in a baccalaureate nursing program Teresa Fulton Erin Kane Lisa Travers Caitlin Van Brunt Nursing of Department The University of Scranton Intro/Lit review: Cancer is one of the most pervasive diseases in the world today. Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women, second to skin cancer. According to the American Cancer Society (2008), it is estimated that 182, 460 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in the year 2008. However, the incidence of breast cancer is decreasing which may be attributed to earlier detection and improved treatment (American Cancer Society [ACS].) Methods of detection include clinical breast examination, self breast examination and mammography. Breast self-examination (BSE) allows for a woman to be aware of the regular look and feel of her breasts using a systematic approach and to consequently detect any changes in breast tissue (Budden, 1999, p. 431.) Breast self-examination is a methodical palpation of breasts to detect signs of breast cancer or detect changes in breast tissue; figure ___ depicts the process of BSE (Lowdermilk, 2007, p. 93-94.) Breast self-examinations should be performed monthly, 1 week after menstruating, because breasts are non-tender and not swollen, or on the same day each month if a regular period is not applicable (Lowdermilk, 2007, p. 94.)

...Constitution Paper Nikki Collins HIS/115 Amy Obszarski 9/7/2013 The Constitution was a big part in making the United Stated of America. It did a lot in setting rules as well. The Constitution addressed many things: weakness, complaints, and representation. All of these would make many different things come together to what we see today in our society. The help of the Constitution brought together the government and made it fair to the states and people. This is what we see in the government today and it is also what we know. The Declaration of Independence was also a great aspect in the United States. It also had grievances; these grievances would be helped by the Constitution. In the Declaration of Independence there was a problem with taxes, “For imposing taxes on us without our consent.” This was very troubling to the colonists. So the Constitution stopped this, “congress has the power to collect taxes.” Since the Declaration says “for cutting off trade with all parts of the world.” “Congress has the power to regulate trade.” Also military “congress has the power to declare war…rise and support armies.” As well as Amendment three “no soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered into any house, without the consent of the owner, or in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.” There are weaknesses in the Articles of Confederation that the Constitution addressed. In this way the Constitution became Supreme law, levy taxes, regulate trade with...

...have made it through more complex chronic diseases, the pharmaceutical businesses are becoming more and more marketable. The pharmaceutical clinical trials are an extremely important part of new medications. These trials sometimes lasting decades, are appointed to see just how affective these new drugs really are. A drug must be approved by the Food and Drug Administration before it can be stocked in normal pharmacies. So in order to be approved, the drug is put through a period of development. The three major stages are: pre-clinical phase, clinical trial phase, and regulatory review phase. There has been a correlation to the length of time taken for research and development and the cost of the medication. (Keyhani, S., Diener-West, M., & Powe, N. 2006) Does this mean that the trials and development times should be cut to later reduce cost and maximize profit? African American is an example of an underrepresented group of people when it comes to clinical trials. It is thought to be because of the fact that African Americans do not trust the mostly white research establishments, so therefore they are refusing to participate in these clinical trials. (Mason, S. E. 2005). With a history of misusing their trust, it may be something that may be harder to fix than it was to mess up. To maximize the profit for the pharmaceutical companies, the cheaper and quicker these trials are the better, so therefore groups who choose not to participate are simply looked over a lot of the time.
