This is a complete edition with critical commentary of the Byzantine Communions in thirteenth-century manuscripts of the Asmatikon, all known sources being used. The chants concerned are the earliest known examples of Communion Chants of the Orthodox Church, and are found in a book which may go back to the rite of St Sophia at Constantinople during the tenth century-the earliest copies of which date from the thirteenth-century and come from South Italy and North Greece. Further more, there are also a few manuscripts from Kiev with text in Church Slavonic and an untranscribable musical notation. This is the first systematic transcription of the Asmatikon ever to be published.

High-tech businesses form a crucial part of entrepreneurial activity in some ways representing very typical examples of entrepreneurship, yet in some ways representing quite different challenges. The uncertainty in innovation and advanced technology makes it difficult to use conventional economic planning models, and also means that the management skills used in this area must be more responsive to issues of risk, uncertainty and evaluation than in conventional business opportunities.
While entrepreneurial courses do reflect the importance of high-tech businesses, they often lack the resources needed to teach this in a way that goes beyond standard how to start up a business courses whilst not focusing solely on theoretical models. This book specifically focuses on the mix of theory and practice needed to accurately inform students. Key topics covered include:
* uncertainty and innovation
* entrepreneurial finance
* marketing technological innovations
* high-tech incubation management.
Including case studies to give practical insights into genuine business examples, this comprehensive book has a distinctly real-world focus throughout. Edited by a multi-national team, it draws together leading writers and researchers from across Europe, and is therefore a must-read for all those involved in advanced entrepreneurship with specific interests in high-tech start-ups.

In this book I take the reader into the depths of the esoteric world beyond mind and offer a recondite examination of that which lies beyond the Universe. I suggest that balance is the primary goal to enlightenment and describe not only why we should but also how we can refocus our meditations for the best results. Emphasis is placed on where to look for balance and the limitations we are faced with when we do. I attempt to reach the core concepts of meditation quickly and lucidly and offer the reader an alternate way of refocusing their meditations and explain the underlying reasons behind the method I use. I describe this as Equipoise Sensory Perception, which I contend is the correct way to refocus ones meditation in order to remain centered on consciousness and the Absolute. Wisdom is just a short breath away for all of us if we look in the right direction. Beyond Equilibrium gives you the direction. Whether you are new to meditation or an adept, you will find the concepts written here worthy of your consideration.
