What is there in developmental relationships beyond setting and
striving to achieve goals? The presence of goals in coaching and
mentoring programs has gone largely unquestioned, yet evidence is
growing that the standard prescription of SMART, challenging goals
is not always appropriate - and even potentially dangerous - in the
context of a complex and rapidly changing world. Beyond Goals
advances standard goal-setting theory by bringing together
cutting-edge perspectives from leaders in coaching and mentoring.
From psychology to neuroscience, from chaos theory to social
network theory, the contributors offer diverse and compelling
insights into both the advantages and limitations of goal pursuit.
The result is a more nuanced understanding of goals, with the
possibility for practitioners to bring greater impact and
sophistication to their client engagements. The implications of
this reassessment are substantial for all those practicing as
coaches and mentors, or managing coaching or mentoring initiatives
in organizations.

This book has been assembled from the radiographic and photo
graphic records of patients presenting to craniofacial units on
four continents over 7 years. It is our purpose to illustrate a
wide range of craniofacial deformities with the technique of
three-dimensional com puted tomography. Many topics are briefly
addressed with descriptive text intended to amplify the
accompanying images but not to exclude the need for more
comprehensive references as recommended in the reading list of each
chapter. The ability to generate three-dimensional radiographic
images rep resents a successful integration of computed tomography
with com puter graphics. Although this technique remains an
electronic substi tute for the study of dry skull specimens, it
offers a permanent pictorial record of anatomical structures with
the opportunity for fu ture interactive data manipulation. It is
hoped, therefore, that this work will assist others to gain a more
complete understanding of disorders of the craniofacial region. We
encourage other surgeons and investigators to examine and employ
the techniques used to gather these images but also to ensure that
standardized scanning regimens are adapted. The importance of data
collection within its full anatomical context was borne out with
many of our early studies, which were limited owing to
computational con straints. Often an image requirement for surgical
intervention is much less than an image necessary for strict
scientific inquiry."
Over the past century, the number of species that have been
transported to areas outside their native range has increased
steadily. New pests and pathogens place biological pressure on
valuable resident species, but strict bans may conflict with
trading and travel needs. An overview of how the conflict can be
managed using pest risk mapping and modelling, this book uses
worked examples to explain modelling and help development of tool
kits for assessment.
At the age of five, John Ingle Jr's Mother is brutally murdered by
the Organization. He is adopted by a high ranking General and his
Wife. John leads a life of all things military and trains for a
life in the Marines. Along with his favorite weapon, a fifty
caliber sniper rifle John enlists in the Marines and is thrown onto
the Battlefield. Many engagements later his call sign, Echo four;
three becomes legend. When the twin towers fall in New York, John
is called in to find and assassinate Osama, but what he finds isn't
what he expected. John finds out shocking news that the U.S.
Government has been lying to the American people and wants to
expose the truth to the public. Before John can bring back the
Organizations dirty little secret, he is taken and held in a
facility near Reno, Nevada where the Organization plans to acquire
his DNA for the future of the Organization. When John finally
escapes he may have to contend with the President, who still
secretly wants John's DNA for the Organization.

Garrick Colman (David), David Garrick J. B. Wallishauser, 1792
The story behind this album is almost laughably unlikely: club
music producer David Last was on vacation in Australia, putting
some dancehall beats together and looking for a vocalist. A
colleague directed him to Chicago-based dancehall singer Zulu, and
Last sent him a track via e-mail. Zulu voiced it and sent it back.
The result was so good that they made an entire album that way,
which the honchos at Berlin-based label Staubgold subsequently
heard, thus completing a geographically enormous triangle along
which enough data eventually flowed to create this finished
product, a tremendously entertaining fusion of dubstep, reggaeton,
dancehall, electro, and pop that hits a high energy level from the
very beginning and never really flags. The title may be somewhat
ironic: although the impact of this music is pretty massive, its
construction is often quite minimal. Check out the bare-bones
Roland 909 accompaniment to the bouncing "Exhibition Virtue," or
the even more minimalist "Ever Ready." In fact, when the sound
thickens up the impact tends to fade a bit, as on the enjoyable but
somewhat more pedestrian "Necessary Evils." But before you can
register disappointment with those tracks, you'll be lifted out of
your seat again by such top-notch fare as the energetically
chugging "Caresss" or the fun combination track "Put Me on Your
Guest List." If you want a sneak preview of what dancehall reggae
is likely to sound like ten years from now, this may be as good a
guess as any.
