John Asher writes and directs this comedy spoof based on the Liam
Neeson 'Taken' franchise. Bryan Millers (Lee Tergesen) is a mall
cop who possesses many special skills. When his life is threatened
by his arch-enemy Brown Finger (Margaret Cho), Millers joins forces
with his ex-CIA mother (Joyce Bulifant) to fight back.
With stock market swings due to unethical behavior, fuel price
escalation due to increased demand, and climate disasters due to
global warming, operating in a socially responsible manner is
quickly moving from the realm of a nice idea to a business
imperative. Taking a continuous improvement approach to social
responsibility, Social Responsibility: Failure Mode Effects and
Analysis offers a process for driving actions that can be taken by
those interested in the "doing of" rather than the "talking about,"
who are ready to move toward making positive change. Although many
books cover market response and interest in this global concern,
this is quite possibly the first one to focus on methods for
assessing an organization's path to social responsibility
performance. Authors Holly Duckworth and Rosemond Moore move beyond
talking about improving social responsibility risk to doing
something about it, using a well worn tool-Failure Mode Effects and
Analysis. They define social responsibility, explain the
ramifications of the new ISO 26000 standards in the market place,
and provide problem-solving methods that can be put to immediate
use. With vast experience and solid credentials in engineering and
management, Duckworth and Moore are both old school types. Their
point of view is not academic, political, or theoretical, but
firmly based in hands-on, action oriented shop-floor work. It may
seem unusual for authors with such traditional backgrounds to be
writing about a topic that, on the surface, seems untraditional.
But from their experience with continuous improvement as Six Sigma
Master Black Belts, they have personally witnessed the waste that
can be so easily removed from the work place. This book proves that
when hard-hitting experts tackle a subject perceived to be as fuzzy
as social responsibility, the result is methods and strategies that
work.
For hundreds of years, scholars have debated the meaning of Jesus'
central theological term, the 'kingdom of God'. Most of the
argument has focused on its assumed eschatological connotations and
Jesus' adherence or deviation from these ideas. Within the North
American context, the debate is dominated by the work of Norman
Perrin, whose classification of the kingdom of God as a
myth-evoking symbol remains one of the fundamental assumptions of
scholarship. According to Perrin, Jesus' understanding of the
kingdom of God is founded upon the myth of God acting as king on
behalf of Israel as described in the Hebrew Bible. Moving Beyond
Symbol and Myth challenges Perrin's classification, and advocates
the reclassification of the kingdom of God as metaphor. Drawing
upon insights from the cognitive theory of metaphor, this study
examines all the occurrences of the 'God is king' metaphor within
the literary context of the Hebrew Bible. Based on this review, it
is proposed that the 'God is king' metaphor functions as a true
metaphor with a range of expressions and meanings. It is employed
within a variety of texts and conveys images of God as the
covenantal sovereign of Israel; God as the eternal suzerain of the
world, and God as the king of the disadvantaged. The interaction of
the semantic fields of divinity and human kingship evoke a range of
metaphoric expressions that are utilized throughout the history of
the Hebrew Bible in response to differing socio-historical contexts
and within a range of rhetorical strategies. It is this diversity
inherent in the 'God is king' metaphor that is the foundation for
the diversified expressions of the kingdom of God associated with
the historical Jesus and early Christianity.
In the abstract, training is seen as valuable by most people in
business and industry. However, in the rush of providing training
programs "on time" and "within budget," evaluation of training is
frequently left behind as a "nice to have" addition, if practical.
In addition, the training function itself is left with the dilemma
of proving its worth to management without a substantive history of
evaluation. This book is designed to provide managers, educators,
and trainers alike the opportunity to explore the issues and
benefits of evaluating business and industry training. The purpose
is to motivate more effective decisions for training investments
based on information about the value of training in attaining
business goals. Without evaluation, the value of specific training
efforts cannot be adequately measured, the value of training
investments overall cannot be fully assessed, and the contributions
of the training function to the corporation's goals cannot be duly
recognized. Articles are grouped into three sections, althou~h many
themes appear across sections. The first section estabhshes the
context of training evaluation in a business organization. The
second section emphasizes evaluation of training products and
services; and the third section discusses costs and benefits of
evaluation, and communication and use of evaluation results in
decision making. In Section I, the context of training evaluation
is established from a variety of perspectives. First, training and
trainin~ evaluation are discussed in the context of corporate
strateglc goals.

Are you dying? Is someone you care about dying? If so, your mind is
probably a jumble of thoughts and emotions. What should you do
first? How do you tell people? How do you handle all of the details
of dying? Unafraid to Die can help. It will show you how to handle
your fear, prepare for the changes you may expect, and get your
estate in order. Most importantly this small book with its mighty
message will comfort you by keeping eternal life, the very basis of
Christian belief, at the forefront of your thoughts. How can I be
so sure? When I learned my father was dying, I started gathering
notes, scriptures, and to do lists for us. Everywhere I turned God
was there, supporting me, guiding me, and finally, calling me to
share what He had taught me. Unafraid to Die is the result of that
lesson. +++Please help me spread the word about Unafraid To Die to
those you think could be comforted by its message+++ Thank you,
