Batgirls Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown are only able to navigate the dark, gritty, and oftentimes scary city of Gotham by leaning on the bright light that is their best-friendship. Mentored by Oracle, the Batgirls move to the other side of town where Barbara Gordon can keep a better eye on them while the hacker Seer is still invading their lives. Steph may be too rash sometimes, and Cass doesn't speak much-but what they lack in similarities, they make up for with their mutual respect and love for each other...and what makes them stronger together as Batgirls! And they may be good at kicking ass, but they are just trying their best to be normal teenagers-who'll borrow the keys to a muscle car that belonged to a bad guy and perhaps give it a joyride around town without a driver's license, then race to get back home to Oracle by curfew! Splashing the pages with bright colors against a dark backdrop of Gotham, Batgirls is the pizza slumber party you don't want to miss! This volume collects Batgirls #1-6, and the Batgirls short stories from Batman #115-117.

In den letzten Jahren wird innerhalb des Rechnungswesens ein neuer Forschungszweig diskutiert, fur den sich die Be zeichnung "Human Resource Accounting" eingeburgert hat. Unter diesem Begriff wird eine Vielzahl verschiedenartiger Ansatze (Modelle) zur Erfassung des in Unternehmen gebun denen "Humanvermogens" subsumiert. Dabei geht es u. a. um die Konzeption von Informationssystemen uber die Mitarbei ter eines Unternehmens - z. B. um die Bewertung "menschli cher Aktiva" - sowie um allgemeine Probleme des Personal managements. Bislang mangelt es indes an Untersuchungen, die systematisch Aufgaben und Methoden der Abbildung des menschlichen Subsystems eines Unternehmens analysieren. Solche Untersuchungen sind insofern dringend erforderlich, als fur die meisten der bereits entwickelten Human Resource Accounting Ansatze offen geblieben ist, fur welche Aufgaben im unternehmerischen Humanvermogensbereich sie sich auf grund ihrer Methodik eignen. Ohne Klarung dieser Fragen lassen sich weder die Anwendungsmoglichkeiten dieser An satze beurteilen noch erscheint es zweckmassig, bestehende Ansatze zu erweitern oder neue Ansatze zu entwickeln. Mit dieser Arbeit wird versucht, einen grundlegenden konzeptio nellen Rahmen fur das Human Resource Accounting zu entwer fen und Moglichkeiten zur Integrierung des Human Resource Accounting in traditionelle Unternehmensrechnungssysteme aufzuzeigen. Zu diesem Zweck bietet es sich an, Ansatze oder Modelle des Human Resource Accounting als Abbildungs- instrumente aufzufassen, die der zielorientierten Losung von unternehmerischen Planungs- oder Entscheidungs-, Kon troll-, Ausschuttungsermittlungs- und Informationsaufgaben dienen. Diese Konzeption erlaubt die Beurteilung und Wei terentwicklung der bereits vorliegenden Modelle. Herrn Professor Dr. Josef Kloock bin ich fur die Unter stutzung bei der Anfertigung dieser Arbeit sehr dankbar."

Das traditionelle chinesische Qi Gong ist eine wirksame Methode zur Starkung und Erhaltung der Lebenskraft. Selbst wenn es so manche Krankheit nicht heilen kann, kann es sie lindern und ertraglicher machen und der jeweiligen Person, die es praktiziert, eine gewisse Gelassenheit vermitteln. Diese Gelassenheit lehrt einem, gegebenenfalls sich mit unverruckbaren Tatsachen anzufreunden und sich auf das zu besinnen, uber das man noch verfugt, anstatt verlorenen Dingen nachzutrauern. Qi Gong hilft dem Menschen seine mentalen und psychischen Energien auf das real Vorhandene zu konzentrieren und aus dem Gegebenen das Beste zu machen. Qi Gong lehrt uns unsere vorhandenen Krafte zu mobilisieren, um mit innerer Ruhe und mit Selbstvertrauen die Widrigkeiten des Lebens zu begegnen und dem eigenen Leben einen tieferen Sinn zu verleihen.
