Is a Universal Basic Income the answer to an increasingly
precarious job landscape? Could it bring greater financial freedom
for women, tackle the issue of unpaid but essential work, cut
poverty and promote greater choice? Or is it a dead-end utopian
ideal that distracts from more practical and cost-effective
solutions? Contributors from musician Brian Eno, think tank Demos
Helsinki, innovators such as California's Y Combinator Research and
prominent academics such as Peter Beresford OBE offer a variety of
perspectives from across the globe on the politics and feasibility
of basic income. Sharing research and insights from a variety of
nations - including India, Finland, Uganda, Brazil and Canada - the
collection provides a comprehensive guide to the impact this
innovative idea could have on work, welfare and inequality in the
21st century.
Fiction. Life in The Republic, a nation at once timeless and
impossible, is a man lying in a road waiting to die, a scholar and
a former death squad commander meeting at the crest of a high-rise
office building, students disappearing into unmarked vans, and
buses flying from cliffs. These seven stories bear the brand of a
place that seems to operate according to its own laws of space and
time, so different from the physics of our own world that simply to
go there is to risk getting hopelessly lost, without a map to show
the way out.
Obesity levels continue to rise across the world, whilst physical
activity levels remain lower than ever before, resulting in many
health problems. With difficulty removing the individual from the
popular gaming environment, research has found the exergame to
offer a viable solution, but has failed to identify which age it
could benefit most. This research explores the benefits of one
exergame for different aged populations. Eighteen participants
volunteered for the study, which involved the measurement of
various physiological and social parameters. The text provides a
full analysis of the results and a discussion that aims to answer
some of the contemporary questions, such as "Can I exercise
indoors?," "Can I really lose weight whilst playing computer
games?" and "Could I even increase my life- expectancy?."
'When we can learn to listen, we can hear, when we can hear, then

The retail industry globally is in the early stages of an era of
profound, perhaps unprecedented, change. This book is intended to
serve as a robust and practical guide to leaders of enterprises
tasked with both understanding and delivering success in the new
landscape of retailing. The book firstly describes the major
directions and drivers of change that define the new global
landscape of retailing (Part 1). Accelerating technology change,
the rise to prominence globally of internet enabled shoppers and
the rapid emergence of entirely new retail enterprises and business
models are combining to re-shape the very fundamentals of the
retail industry. No longer are shops needed to be in the business
of retailing. No longer is choice for the shopper limited to the
neighbourhood, town or even country in which they live. No longer
is the act of retailing solely the preserve of traditional retail
enterprises as internet-enabled businesses, technology, logistics,
suppliers and financial services enterprises all seek direct
relationships with the shopper. The new landscape of retailing is
an unforgiving one. Success can be achieved more quickly than has
ever been possible before but failure is equally rapid. The
opportunities in the new landscape of retailing are profound, but
so too are the challenges. Part 2 of this book discusses the
structures, skills and capabilities retail enterprises will need if
they are to be successful in this new landscape and the skills and
perspectives that will be required of the leaders of retail
enterprises. Case studies of innovative and successful enterprises
are presented throughout the book to illustrate the themes
discussed. Frameworks are presented to provide practical guidance
for enterprise leaders to understand and contextualise the nature
of change that is re-shaping retail landscapes globally. Clear
guidance is given of the capabilities, skills and perspectives that
will be needed at both an enterprise and a personal leadership
level to deliver success in the new landscape of retailing.
Sa ferocite engendre le mal et anime son vieux corps disgracieux
d'une pulsion sanguinaire. Les griffes en sont ses armes, la
decrepitude en est son poison. N'avez-vous jamais ose lacerer, ce
corps saint qui, sous l'assaut de vos etroites griffes se fletrit
jusqu'a son extreme atonie. N'avez-vous jamais ose apposer votre
griffe sur ce papyrus ardent, vendant votre ame decadente a ce
pervers demon au mepris d'une gloire sans raison.
