Dr. Baute takes the understanding of mind games to an entirely new level: showing they are natural, instinctive, universal and inevitable. He finds all mind games have a common source as well as common accelerants. Four main game energies are elaborated: Rescuer, Victim, Blamer, and Avoidance Rebellion. As social comparisons, envy and a negative bias are essential components of being human, so mind games, both positive and negative are intuitive, unavoidable and even necessary for human effectiveness. Without understanding how our minds are easily hijacked by such games, we live with emotional blindness, easy conflict, unnecessary stress and unconscious sabotage of our best efforts. Another unique feature is the Transactional Checklist, a brief inventory for rapid identification of game energies. This allows the reader to measure his mind game tendencies and to compare them with other groups. Extra copies are provided for obtaining feedback from working partners in order to validate one's own impressions. Charts provide easy scoring and comparisons.This is an interactive workbook with many occasions for developing game awareness and resilience. Using 40 years as a family therapist and consulting psychologist, Dr. Baue distills his experience into 15 chapters on mind games and 17 chapters for developing resilience, self-intimacy and wellness.Early praise has been received from professions in seven different fields. Mind Games is designed to be used from 10th grade through graduate school in courses on human behavior as well as human resource management. Every profession dealing with people will find Mind Games a powerful tool for understanding human behavior, such as education, law, psychology, social work, nursing, rehab, counseling, medicine, corrections, business management as well as coaching and mentoring. It is already being used in correctional settings for repeat addictive offenders. It is also a program for resolving couples conflict. Couples will find a mutual, self-help program, employing their partner for feedback.Dr. Paschal Baute is also a blind veteran who served his country with all four branches of the U. S. military over 23 years. Now with a VA diagnosis of "Catastrophically Disabled", he uses his blind rehab training in computer skills from the Hines VA in Chicago, in order to demonstrate that a severe handicap can become a manageable challenge.

I wrote this book to help others find a job. I am not going to try to out-intellectualize you - I mean outsmart you. I just want to show you a nice little road map covering all the bases within the employment process. From cradle to grave. I hate that term. Anyway, this road map will be what you will need to do, step by step, to put yourself into the best position to get the career you wish to pursue. These ideas come from a recruiter's perspective. I have spent time in staffing and in human resources both as a contractor and permanent employee and learned a lot. The thing I learned most from the inside is what hiring managers are thinking. What they are looking for in a candidate and, more specifically, what they're not. From what types of resumes are being looked at these days - and, yes, there are ways to easily get yours thrown into the trash, even if you have the skills, if you don't present them properly - to recruiter blacklists that can permanently take you out of the entire recruiting process for companies you may be targeting. Some of the topics I cover may inspire additional research on your end. That would be nice. Some might lead to an entirely new way of setting priorities, developing and managing your schedule, making task lists and networking full time. That would be the goal. Some of this information may build you an entirely new perspective on your life. That would be flattering. I'm not going to change your entire life with this book, as some career experts preach. I mean I will still be giving it a sincere chance. Piggybacking (I hate that term) off that second notion, the goal is to recreate your way of living, because some of you might not know exactly what to do each day when 'you're not being told by some superior. Some of you are already taskmasters and already organize your daily routine on your calendars. That's half the battle. To those folks, this book will help with suggestions about what to plug into that eight hour day. Enough with all these "I's" now. Let's 'get to you. This book isn't going to do the job for you. Like a screenplay, you have to find the right spot to begin your tale. Where in your life do we start? Some of you might be employed, pro-active job-seekers. Some of you might have just receiving their first pink slip after working at the same company for the last 30 years and can't face retirement yet. Let's cover everything.

40 Freeze Dried Meal Pouch Recipes is a collection of my favorite recipes designed for the single meal pouch. In this book you will find the recipe ingredients, the procedure to make the recipe, the yield of the recipe and how to reconstitute the meal pouch. The book does not contain settings or times for the Freeze Dryer. There are too many software versions, system configurations. Beleive it or not your local weather has a great impact on dry times. Instead, each recipe has a QR code that you can scan and be taken directly to the corosponding video on YouTube. I have tried to keep the recipessimple and rehydration quick.

This recipe book is a collection of some of my favorite snacks and treats. For the most part, they are originals that I created in my kitchen. They have been designed specifically for the freeze dryer.It is envisioned that you will use this book in conjunction with my videos on YouTube and is not meant to be a replacement for the videos.I believe that much can be learned by watching the videos and using the hard copy of the recipes together.

This anthology of poems written by teens was selected and assembled from the 27 years of submissions to Teen Ink magazine.

This chilling thriller tells the story of a young girl thrown into the mysteriously terrifying world of voodoo against her own will and the life-threatening, dauntless tasks needed to save her, no matter the cost. Set against the bizarre backdrop of show business, a mother throws her young daughter into the terrifying world of voodoo as she seeks revenge on the father who adores his little girl. Caught in a frightening maze of cabalistic rites and wanton sex, her body and soul are owned by her mother, and her mind and emotions are no longer her own. Her father would destroy himself to save her, yet she is no longer a child at all, but a creature of evil, hurled into the horrifying realm of the devil himself.

With the economic crisis that began in 2008, a long-standing trend toward increased regulation is becoming a flood. The clamor for improved enterprise risk management and the complexity of multinational compliance present executives with a dramatically new array of challenges. Governance should offer solutions, but it is clear that yesterday¿s governance practices aren¿t up to the task. In both design and implementation, they are too disconnected and incomplete to fully address our complex compliance and risk management puzzle. Executives get only fragmented views of their true business performance, and inefficiencies drive up costs. The consequences of inadequate governance were demonstrated in the economic meltdown of 2008. As the world struggles to recover from that crisis, business is now faced with a confusing array of evolving regulations, the challenge of managing compliance across multinational organizations and a new imperative for risk management that is coordinated across the enterprise. It¿s clear that yesterday¿s governance practices don¿t meet today¿s need for centralized controls, integrated compliance and risk management and greater transparency. The need for organizations to change¿and change now¿is clear. Under Control captures decades of business governance experience from many of the leading authorities at CA, Inc. This book sets out not only to explain the essential challenges of effective business governance, but to help you build solutions for your organization based on lessons learned at CA from its customers and in its own corporate structure. From governing the organization¿s policies as a whole instead of in silos, to a department-by-department look at the role and impact of governance, to governing your green initiatives, to the role of the board of directors, to the importance of risk management, this book lays out some of the strategies and processes that may help yourorganization manage its risk and regulatory requirements. It is clear that the governance standards in the past were inadequate, and that risks have not been properly assessed or understood. This book is a first step in solving this problem so that your organization is prepared and able to respond and thrive in today¿s rapidly evolving environment. Under Control is the first book published in the new CAPress imprint, a joint publishing program between Apress and CA Inc. ¿One of the defining factors of the first decade of the 21st century has been the increase of regulation and governance. To explain these trends, and the various best practices for ensuring governance, enterprise IT management solutions provider CA Inc. enlisted more than a dozen subject matter experts from its ranks to contribute content. The resulting book explores the need for broad governance, different areas where governance is important, and various ways for organizations to manage and implement compliance, including IT governance, project portfolio management, information governance and sustainability management. The book, while largely vendor-neutral, draws on CA's experience creating governance solutions as well as managing its own governance issues.¿ ¿Aaron Smith, Projects@Work
