"You Don't Have to be Poor" is a book that will address one of if
not the most important components of life for the individual and by
extension, the family. In addition, the same principles guiding an
individual or family will also benefit the leaders of our country
and other countries of the world. Everyone at one time or another
is faced with a decision to make that will influence either
adversely or positively his or her financial standing. Biblical
scriptures address the problems we encounter today related to
finances, and even address issues related to a country, which is
admonished not to borrow from another.
One week to a fitter, healthier you with the revolutionary Zone
diet plan. Find out what to eat, when to eat it, and how this is
better than any other high protein diet. The Zone books have sold
over 4 million worldwide. Dr Barry Sears is the author of The Zone,
the revolutionary, multi million copy selling diet plan based on
Nobel Prize-winning research. The Zone prescribes a diet designed
to maximise optimal metabolic function (that means BURN MORE
CALORIES) by eating more proteins and good fats, and few high
glycaemic-index (GI) carbohydrates. Thousands testify that it
works. The 7 Day Zone Diet is a perfect introduction to the Zone
style of eating and is the first ever 7 day low-carb diet plan. The
Zone is different from other low-carb diets in that it does not
encourage 'no carb' and always insists on proteins that are low in
saturated fat. Other 'high protein' diets lump all 'carbs' together
as 'bad' and let the dieter eat as much fat as they like. This
introductory Zone guide includes: - how to eat in the Zone - how to
shop in the Zone - 7 days worth of healthy, satisfying recipes
including quick and easy Zone breakfasts, lunches and dinners - the
Zone for vegetarians - eating out in the Zone
Maintaining physical and mental performance with a revolutionary
diet that helps prevent age-related diseases. Sears explains that
it is possible to reverse our 'biological' age (which is different
to our 'chronological' age) if we look at our hormones and our
diet. It is crucial to maintain the right balance of hormones in
our bodies - ageing is not necessarily about the decreasing of
certain hormones but rather how they effectively communicate with
each other to maintain equilibrium. The Zone is a revolutionary
diet plan which advocates a lower intake of carbohydrates which
convert to sugar creating a diabetic-like condition. If we eat more
protein and monosaturate fats we enter the Zone of optimum
metabolic function. This diet has been proven in preventing
age-related diseases: heart disease and diabetes (non-insulin
dependent diabetes largely occurs in older age). Sears explores the
activity of hormones as we age and gives a dietary plan (and
supplement advice) to maintain peak performance: * calorie
restriction without hunger or deprivation * insulin, cortisol,
seratonin and eicosanoids * oestrogen and the menopause *
testosterone as men and women age * DHEA, melatonin - are these
hormonal supplements merely hype? * your thyroid gland and how it
affects metabolism * exercise and the anti-ageing Zone lifestyle

Through his years of intensive work consulting to companies
including Procter & Gamble, Sony, Toyota, Microsoft, Ford and
Ernst & Young, with his firm The Energy Project, Schwartz has
developed a powerful program for changing the way we are working
that greatly boosts our engagement and our satisfication with our
work and increases our performance. In this book he marshalls a
wide range of powerful evidence from business research and
psychology that shows that the current model of work -- in which
people are treated essentially as machines that should be able to
perform at top speed for extraordinarily long hours, be able to
multi-task, be always accessible and online, withstand often harsh
and emotionally punishing treatment, and be primarily driven by the
need to make profits -- is not only not optimal, it is specfically
counter-productive because it saps us of our physical, emotional,
mental and spiritual energy. In order for us to perform at our
best, we must make a set of key changes in our work lives -- and in
order to develop the full potential of their work force, our
managers and companies must institute changes that will provide us
with the regular physical renewal, emotional reward, mental focus
and stimulation; and sense of purpose and significance that we
need.

cutting edge substance, compelling examples, and insightful tools.
-Chip R. Bell, author of Inside Your Customer's Imagination All we
know with absolute certainty is that we live in complex, uncertain,
and rapidly changing times. Despite our best attempts to predict
the future, we are often caught off-guard and surprised when it
arrives. Whether a once-in-a-lifetime pandemic, global economic
shifts, political upheaval, or technological evolution, as senior
leaders we must navigate these tumultuous times and make tough
decisions to guide our organizations to success. Champion leaders
want to be truly exceptional regardless of the maelstrom of change
they are experiencing. Not only do they want their organizations to
succeed, but they also want to live fulfilling lives. They want the
same for those in their organizations and personal lives as well.
How do we effectively lead in times of constant, often dramatic
change? And, equally important, how do we simultaneously create a
satisfying, meaningful life? The C(2) Factor - the synergistic
application of curiosity and courage - offers a path to both. This
book reveals that when leaders manifest both traits, they embrace
the professional and personal opportunities the future brings. When
the landscape is shifting beneath our feet the C(2) Factor enables
us to lead more effectively and helps us cultivate more fulfilling
personal lives. While other books have looked at curiosity and
courage separately, The C(2) Factor for Leadership examines how,
when combined, profound curiosity and relentless courage lead to
remarkable outcomes. One enhances the other in a powerful alchemy
that improves our outcomes, how we show up as leaders in our
organizations and as human beings in our personal lives. Beginning
with ourselves and expanding to our relationships, our teams, our
organizations, and to the world, this book demonstrates how the
C(2) Factor can be applied for superior results.To be a truly
exceptional leader, to live a satisfying life, we must have
profound curiosity and relentless courage. We must exercise the
C(2) Factor. Without it, we run the risk of being leaders who are
robotic, academic, or reckless. With the C(2) Factor, we can be
champions.
Nanoengineering, energized by the desire to find specific targeting
agents, is leading to dramatic acceleration in novel drug design.
However, in this flurry of activity, some issues may be overlooked.
This is especially true in the area of determining dosage and
evaluating the effects of multiple agents designed to target more
than one site of metastasis. Offering the unique perspective of a
medical physicist who has worked directly with cancer patients for
over three decades, Radiopharmaceuticals: Introduction to Drug
Evaluation and Dose Estimation starts by exploring the recent
history and current state of the field. Then, citing key research
and practical examples, the author looks at how to run studies and
employ estimation and evaluation methods that lead to the best
multiple agents with the least amount of trial and error. He
discusses methods that will allow researchers to more rigorously:
Differentiate one radiopharmaceutical (RP) from another Estimate
radiation doses Correlate results across various species to realize
more informed data from clinical trials Incorporating developments
in nanotechnology and radiology, with the ultimate goal of
achieving personalized patient-specific treatment, this book
crosses disciplines to addresses a range of topics including:
Preclinical RP development Organization of clinical trials
Determination of activity in vivo Modeling and temporal integration
with a look at the mass law for tumor uptake as a function of tumor
size (discovered by the author) Absorbed dose estimates with and
without clinical correlations Multiple-modality therapy Dr.
Lawrence Williams has devoted most of his life's research to tumor
detection and treatment, and his discoveries continue to influence
evolving therapies. As s a medical physicist, he is eminently
qualified to bring unique insight into the discussion of
radiopharmaceutical dosage rates and efficacy.
