This is a practical guide to streamlined project management, designed for managers of small and medium-sized projects in any business. Unlike other more complex approaches to project management, this book provides a simple framework which can be applied in a wide variety of situations in companies of all sizes. By stripping out the bureaucracy and paring the management down to a minimum, Mike Watson has created a straightforward approach to managing projects which will save organisations both time and money. This is a complete project manager's toolkit, including checklists, sample forms and schematics.

Minority nationalism is a significant, even potent force in the modern world. In many countries, not least among the richer developed ones, West or East, new problems of and for minority nationalism have recently surfaced. This book presents an examination of the state of minority nationalism in the 1970s and 1980s. It considers many different cases in detail: Britain, Ireland, the Soviet Union, Canada, France, Spain and South Africa. It explores the political and socio-economic circumstances surrounding minority nationalism, analyzes its successes and failures in recent years, and looks at an exhaustive range of issues, such as the structures and politics of minority of minority nationalist movements, relations with governments, ideology, attitudes to human rights, and so on. The text views both Afrikaners in South Africa and Protestants in Northern Ireland as cases of minority nationalists in dominant positions finding it increasingly difficult to maintain their positions.

The theme of this collection of essays is the interrelationship between planning conceived as a technique of public economic policy-making and the working of political and administrative institutions in three West European states after the early 1960s. The emphasis is on the impact of the attempts to plan upon political and administrative relationships at national and regional levels and the constraints that they in turn imposed upon planning. An overall judgement is made on the aptitudes of the three countries for planning and on the implications for contemporary capitalism within liberal democracies.

`A book that has a lot to offer therapist who are using psychodrama, as well as the many who are outside this particular field.' - The Therapist

This volume is organized to roughly follow the order of events presented in the Kakuichi-bon variant of the Heike. Essays and translations focus on a series of major events from the Heike: Kiyomori's rise (the Gio cycle of plays); Yoshinaka's push to the capital; the flight of the Heike and the battle of Ichi-no-tani; and the aftermath of the war. Each event features a series of one to three plays preceded by essays.

Satellites have limited power budgets due to the amount of power collected by the satellites solar panels. The goal is to have a wide range of functionality, while running off a limited power source. Large microprocessors use large amounts of power to report back temperature and chemical sensor data to ground stations. By using small microcontrollers to perform the data collection and minimizing the usage of the larger microprocessors, the satellites will save power. A prototype design of the Microdot 4-bit microcontroller for space applications is presented. Requirements for the Microdot, such as microwatt power consumption and 23 different instructions, are based on research completed at AFRL/VSSE, Air Force Research Laboratory at Kirtland AFB, NM. A brief history of 4-bit microcontrollers and microprocessors, the synchronous design methodologies used, and space-based integrated circuit issues are presented. Various CAD tools were used, implementing both standard cell and full custom logic into the design. The prototype Microdot was fabricated at TSMC using MOSIS to validate the design implementation. Results from high fidelity simulations indicate the Microdot design has a power consumption of 16.3 mW operating at I kHz and consumes 22 mW when operating at the maximum operating clock frequency of 20 MHz. These results indicate that the Microdot can be implemented into space-based systems, while exhibiting low power usage.

Theo and the Baby Bunch is composed of three stories suited to young children who have just had a new baby brother or sister. The stories are interactive and engage children with simple questions and actions. There are plenty of fun pictures where kids are asked to find the answer. In Chapter 1, "Baby Boy and the Baby Bunch," Baby Theo's needs are described. The Birthday Bunch learns that they were once tiny babies too, just like Theo. "Wobbly, Floppy and Fluffy" in Chapter 2 shows how the Baby Bunch can also be like Baby Theo and be wobbly, floppy and fluffy. In the final Chapter 3, titled "Wriggle, Snuggle, Snooze and Sleep," Grandpa helps wriggling Theo to snuggle, snooze and sleep. It's fun to see how all the Birthday Bunch also go to sleep! This charming children's book will help kids adapt to the arrival of a new baby, and learn that we must all grow up and change. No matter how much attention a new baby receives, all children are just as special, and are equally loved in their parents' eyes. Born in Dronfield in Derbyshire, UK, Michael Watson is now a volunteer working in northern Uganda with Voluntary Service Overseas. He is inspired by "my grandchildren, family and Quaker beliefs about peace, honesty, equality, simplicity, sustainability and community." He has finished writing his next book.

All around us we see a world of paradox: deep ironic, and intractable. A world in which the hungry nations export food; the richest nations slip into demoralizing economic recessions; the strongest nations go to war against the smallest and weakest and are unable to win; a world in which revolutions against tyrannical systems themselves become tyrannies. In human affairs, celebrities receive still more publicity because of their knowledge of affairs only to find themselves cut off from the sources of their knowledgeable in warfare find themselves advising the government on how to win wars by using scientific knowledge.... the list is endless. Ours is a world of paradox. "John Gall" This literature was written after a long process of learning to think like a great achiever and get myself out of a non-achiever poverty mindset. Today, many American are wondering if we are headed toward a poverty driven way of living. Therefore, people are repositioning themselves for the best of times or the worst of times. As a result, the creative framework of this literature is a beginning for us to build a new mindset and reach worthwhile goals for ourselves and our communities. This book offers a systematic approach to creating a framework for organizational structure and development. This will clarify objectives for many to fulfill their mission toward their own people. Most change hungry people can grasp the important points within the text. Hopefully, at that point they gain well-timed information regarding the reality of faith. They enter into a thought-out dialogue with the writer. The mission of this book is to help bring restoration to a Nation whose Faith is At-Risk, as well as look at our economy from a spiritual perspective. With every pocket of the earth overflowing with abuses, poverty, gang violence, at risk youths, prostitution, homelessness, domestic violence, addictions, murders, suicides, fatherless children, and corruption. This is not to mention sudden death of some well known people due to careless living. They face sudden death with seemingly no regard or thought of the eternal consequences of the way they lived their lives. In an effort to carve a way for my creativity in this world of chaos and insecurities, I have learned to channel my energy into dreams and goals. This is partially how this book was born, "A Nation's Faith At-Risk and a Spiritual Perspective of the Economy." It is the result of a burning passion to reach the masses with the truth.
