Although many businesses, organizations, and institutions have
currently implemented continuous improvement initiatives that
address wants, needs, and challenges at the process and systems
level, very few have effectively considered and addressed human
factors. Thus, even businesses, organizations, and institutions
with the most finely crafted continuous improvement systems face
failure from inadequate human factors continuous improvement.
Continuous Improvement by Improving Continuously (CIBIC):
Addressing the Human Factors During the Pursuit of Process
Excellence explains how the frustrating reoccurrence of operating
failures are the result of flawed or fragmented business
philosophies and principles. CIBIC is designed to promote the
pursuit of excellence from mediocrity using an adaptable strategic
model that promotes the pursuit of continuous improvement and
sustainability in operations, performance management, and personal
endeavors. By transforming the pursuit of excellence from a
hit-and-miss endeavor to an easily achievable and sustainable
continuous endeavor, CIBIC creates value where other systems fail.
By addressing gaps, disconnects, and chaotic realities at a
fundamental level through the sustained use of frameworks, methods,
and analytics, CIBIC promotes the pursuit of excellence across the
wide range continuum, eradicating the value and philosophical
disconnects that generally plague individuals and collective
interests. This book addresses this systemic problem by
highlighting an incredibly comprehensive system that promotes
continuous improvement and the pursuit of excellence. By
highlighting key inner drivers, essential outer qualities, and
supporting models and frameworks, the book makes the pursuit of
excellence an easily sustainable and logical endeavor.

Teachers are under tremendous pressure to pass as many students as
possible. Cowardly ignoring the critical role administrators,
parents and students play in reducing achievement, they are
castigated as the primary culprit for poor academic achievement.
The Success of Academic Failure is not written from a professor
speaking from the "lighthouse" of Yale or Harvard, but from a
teacher in the "battlefield" of the classroom. Denying the popular
view, he boldly exposes the futility of casting blame sorely upon
the teacher rendering a balanced analysis behind the crisis of
successful failure. Using his twenty years experience as a social
studies teacher in the Flint Community School District located in
Flint, Michigan, he presents a clear and precise description of
successful failure with candidness and unadulterated honesty. Like
a national stain, successful failure engulfs many schools
compelling educators to speak about the conditions obstructing
student achievement. Not afraid to speak his mind and intimately
connected with challenges teachers and students face, he takes you
into the classroom on the "ground floor," presenting successful
failure like no one has. You have got to read this book.
The invasion of the Warui ninja was the biggest event that had ever
happened in the small town of Sera, Missouri. Now, in the summer of
1992, something even more defining is happening. A group of racists
has moved into the town, and they will use threats, extortion and
violence to further their hate-filled agenda. To this end, they
have targeted the Robertsons, the only black family in the tourist
town. What they haven't counted on is young Louis Robertson's
friendship with the members of Adventure. Jamie, Yoshi and their
friends are joined by new faces as they face a different kind of
"klan." But can they fight the effects of illogical hatred?

Jamie and Yoshi are late twentieth century members of the Funakoshi
ninja clan who were trained by Yoshi's uncle, Tanemura Funakoshi.
When the Waruiyatsu, a sinister clan with an ancient grudge, attack
Jamie's high school and hold his classmates hostage in an effort to
bring Tanemura and his two students into the open, Jamie and his
clan sister are forced to attempt a rescue. Going along are a close
group of friends, each with his own interest in the fighting arts.
From Dave, whose muscle-bound frame and love of a good scuffle are
overshadowed by his cheerful personality and kind heart, to Buster,
whose Bible is his greatest weapon, each of their friends has a
loyalty to them and each other that is stronger than the Waruiyatsu
can ever fathom. This is a story of courage, friendship, and faith
....
Novelist Thomas Bradford has lived with his young daughter,
Melissa, in Central Missouri since the death of his wife. He is
surprised when feelings begin to stir in his heart for Kassandra, a
new attendee of his church. But a man from her past threatens to
destroy the peaceful life that Thomas has worked to build.
When bad things happen to bad people no one is surprised. When very
bad things, undeserved and indefensible things, happen to very good
people everyone wonders why. After more than two decades of
faithful service, with every measure of success in hand, Rev. R. M.
Runyon watches helplessly as the course of his life takes a
dramatic turn. He appeals fervently to the God he has loved and
served with such devotion, only to find that this time there is no
intervention, no band of angels driving back the forces of
darkness. As his steps continue down a path he finds difficult to
accept, he is faced with loss and mind numbing pain Losses he
didn't personally know a human could experience. Can the man who
has spent his life providing answers and giving guidance to others
find answers for himself when everything is gone? The lowest point
comes at Christmas time, and new insight into the familiar
Christmas story brings renewed hope and opportunity where he would
have least expected it. He learns from Mary that God can birth
something meaningful and important in a life even when no one else
understands. In the midst of what appears to be utter chaos and
pain, he gains a new life, greater insight and unparalleled
personal growth. He finds that God reigns in dark unfamiliar places
too.
