Organizational structure: translation
An organizational structure consists of activities such as task allocation, coordination and supervision, which are directed towards the achievement of organizational aims.[1] It can also be considered as the viewing glass or perspective through which individuals see their organization and its environment.[2]
Organizations are a variant of clustered entities.[citation needed]
An organization can be structured in many different ways, depending on their objectives. The structure of an organization will determine the modes in which it operates and performs.
Organizational structure allows the expressed allocation of responsibilities for different functions and processes to different entities such as the branch, department, workgroup and individual.
Organizational structure affects organizational action in two big ways. First, it provides the foundation on which standard operating procedures and routines rest. Second, it determines which individuals get to participate in which decision-making processes, and thus to what extent their views shape the organization's actions.[2]

Operational organizations and informal organizations
See also: Informal organization and Formal organization
The set organizational structure may not coincide with facts, evolving in operational action. Such divergence decreases performance, when growing. E.g. a wrong organizational structure may hamper cooperation and thus hinder the completion of orders in due time and within limits of resources and budgets. Organizational structures shall be adaptive to process requirements, aiming to optimize the ratio of effort and input to output.

Organizational structures developed from the ancient times of hunters and collectors in tribal organizations through highly royal and clerical power structures to industrial structures and today's post-industrial structures.
As pointed out by Mohr (1982, pp. 102–103), the early theorists of organizational structure, Taylor, Fayol, and Weber "saw the importance of structure for effectiveness and efficiency and assumed without the slightest question that whatever structure was needed, people could fashion accordingly. Organizational structure was considered a matter of choice... When in the 1930s, the rebellion began that came to be known as human relations theory, there was still not a denial of the idea of structure as an artifact, but rather an advocacy of the creation of a different sort of structure, one in which the needs, knowledge, and opinions of employees might be given greater recognition." However, a different view arose in the 1960s, suggesting that the organizational structure is "an externally caused phenomenon, an outcome rather than an artifact."[3] In the 21st century, organizational theorists such as Lim, Griffiths, and Sambrook (2010) are once again proposing that organizational structure development is very much dependent on the expression of the strategies and behavior of the management and the workers as constrained by the power distribution between them, and influenced by their environment and the outcome.[4]
Organizational structure types
Pre-bureaucratic structures
Pre-bureaucratic (entrepreneurial) structures lack standardization of tasks. This structure is most common in smaller organizations and is best used to solve simple tasks. The structure is totally centralized. The strategic leader makes all key decisions and most communication is done by one on one conversations. It is particularly useful for new (entrepreneurial) business as it enables the founder to control growth and development.
They are usually based on traditional domination or charismatic domination in the sense of Max Weber's tripartite classification of authority
Bureaucratic structures
Weber (1948, p. 214) gives the analogy that "the fully developed bureaucratic mechanism compares with other organizations exactly as does the machine compare with the non-mechanical modes of production. Precision, speed, unambiguity, … strict subordination, reduction of friction and of material and personal costs- these are raised to the optimum point in the strictly bureaucratic administration."[5] Bureaucratic structures have a certain degree of standardization. They are better suited for more complex or larger scale organizations, usually adopting a tall structure. The tension between bureaucratic structures and non-bureaucratic is echoed in Burns and Stalker's[6] distinction between mechanistic and organic structures.
The Weberian characteristics of bureaucracy are:
Clear defined roles and responsibilities
A hierarchical structure
Respect for merit.
Post-bureaucratic
The term of post bureaucratic is used in two senses in the organizational literature: one generic and one much more specific.[7] In the generic sense the term post bureaucratic is often used to describe a range of ideas developed since the 1980s that specifically contrast themselves with Weber's ideal type bureaucracy. This may include total quality management, culture management and matrix management, amongst others. None of these however has left behind the core tenets of Bureaucracy. Hierarchies still exist, authority is still Weber's rational, legal type, and the organization is still rule bound. Heckscher, arguing along these lines, describes them as cleaned up bureaucracies,[8] rather than a fundamental shift away from bureaucracy. Gideon Kunda, in his classic study of culture management at 'Tech' argued that 'the essence of bureaucratic control - the formalisation, codification and enforcement of rules and regulations - does not change in principle.....it shifts focus from organizational structure to the organization's culture'.
Another smaller group of theorists have developed the theory of the Post-Bureaucratic Organization.,[8] provide a detailed discussion which attempts to describe an organization that is fundamentally not bureaucratic. Charles Heckscher has developed an ideal type, the post-bureaucratic organization, in which decisions are based on dialogue and consensus rather than authority and command, the organization is a network rather than a hierarchy, open at the boundaries (in direct contrast to culture management); there is an emphasis on meta-decision making rules rather than decision making rules. This sort of horizontal decision making by consensus model is often used in housing cooperatives, other cooperatives and when running a non-profit or community organization. It is used in order to encourage participation and help to empower people who normally experience oppression in groups.
Still other theorists are developing a resurgence of interest in complexity theory and organizations, and have focused on how simple structures can be used to engender organizational adaptations. For instance, Miner et al. (2000) studied how simple structures could be used to generate improvisational outcomes in product development. Their study makes links to simple structures and improviser learning. Other scholars such as Jan Rivkin and Sigglekow,[9] and Nelson Repenning [10] revive an older interest in how structure and strategy relate in dynamic environments.
Employees within the functional divisions of an organization tend to perform a specialized set of tasks, for instance the engineering department would be staffed only with software engineers. This leads to operational efficiencies within that group. However it could also lead to a lack of communication between the functional groups within an organization, making the organization slow and inflexible.
As a whole, a functional organization is best suited as a producer of standardized goods and services at large volume and low cost. Coordination and specialization of tasks are centralized in a functional structure, which makes producing a limited amount of products or services efficient and predictable. Moreover, efficiencies can further be realized as functional organizations integrate their activities vertically so that products are sold and distributed quickly and at low cost.[11] For instance, a small business could make components used in production of its products instead of buying them. This benefits the organization and employees faiths.
Divisional structure
Also called a "product structure", the divisional structure groups each organizational function into a division. Each division within a divisional structure contains all the necessary resources and functions within it. Divisions can be categorized from different points of view. One might make distinctions on a geographical basis (a US division and an EU division, for example) or on product/service basis (different products for different customers: households or companies). In another example, an automobile company with a divisional structure might have one division for SUVs, another division for subcompact cars, and another division for sedans.
Each division may have its own sales, engineering and marketing departments.
Matrix structure
The matrix structure groups employees by both function and product. This structure can combine the best of both separate structures. A matrix organization frequently uses teams of employees to accomplish work, in order to take advantage of the strengths, as well as make up for the weaknesses, of functional and decentralized forms. An example would be a company that produces two products, "product a" and "product b". Using the matrix structure, this company would organize functions within the company as follows: "product a" sales department, "product a" customer service department, "product a" accounting, "product b" sales department, "product b" customer service department, "product b" accounting department. Matrix structure is amongst the purest of organizational structures, a simple lattice emulating order and regularity demonstrated in nature.
Weak/Functional Matrix: A project manager with only limited authority is assigned to oversee the cross- functional aspects of the project. The functional managers maintain control over their resources and project areas.
Balanced/Functional Matrix: A project manager is assigned to oversee the project. Power is shared equally between the project manager and the functional managers. It brings the best aspects of functional and projectized organizations. However, this is the most difficult system to maintain as the sharing power is delicate proposition.
Strong/Project Matrix: A project manager is primarily responsible for the project. Functional managers provide technical expertise and assign resources as needed.
Organizational circle: moving back to flat
The flat structure is common in small companies (enterprenerial start-ups, university spin offs). As the company grows it becomes more complex and hierarchical, which leads to an expanded structure, with more levels and departments.
Often, it would result in bureaucracy, the most prevalent structure in the past. It is still, however, relevant in former Soviet Republics, China, and most governmental organizations all over the world. Shell Group used to represent the typical bureaucracy: top-heavy and hierarchical. It featured multiple levels of command and duplicate service companies existing in different regions. All this made Shell apprehensive to market changes,[12] leading to its incapacity to grow and develop further. The failure of this structure became the main reason for the company restructuring into a matrix.
Starbucks is one of the numerous large organizations that successfully developed the matrix structure supporting their focused strategy. Its design combines functional and product based divisions, with employees reporting to two heads.[13] Creating a team spirit, the company empowers employees to make their own decisions and train them to develop both hard and soft skills. That makes Starbucks one of the best at customer service.
Some experts also mention the multinational design,[14] common in global companies, such as Procter & Gamble, Toyota and Unilever. This structure can be seen as a complex form of the matrix, as it maintains coordination among products, functions and geographic areas.
In general, over the last decade, it has become increasingly clear that through the forces of globalization, competition and more demanding customers, the structure of many companies has become flatter, less hierarchical, more fluid and even virtual.[15]
One of the newest organizational structures developed in the 20th century is team. In small businesses, the team structure can define the entire organization.[14] Teams can be both horizontal and vertical.[16] While an organization is constituted as a set of people who synergize individual competencies to achieve newer dimensions, the quality of organizational structure revolves around the competencies of teams in totality.[17] For example, every one of the Whole Foods Market stores, the largest natural-foods grocer in the US developing a focused strategy, is an autonomous profit centre composed of an average of 10 self-managed teams, while team leaders in each store and each region are also a team. Larger bureaucratic organizations can benefit from the flexibility of teams as well. Xerox, Motorola, and DaimlerChrysler are all among the companies that actively use teams to perform tasks.
Another modern structure is network. While business giants risk becoming too clumsy to proact (such as), act and react efficiently,[18] the new network organizations contract out any business function, that can be done better or more cheaply. In essence, managers in network structures spend most of their time coordinating and controlling external relations, usually by electronic means. H&M is outsourcing its clothing to a network of 700 suppliers, more than two-thirds of which are based in low-cost Asian countries. Not owning any factories, H&M can be more flexible than many other retailers in lowering its costs, which aligns with its low-cost strategy.[19] The potential management opportunities offered by recent advances in complex networks theory have been demonstrated [20] including applications to product design and development,[21] and innovation problem in markets and industries.[22]
A special form of boundaryless organization is virtual. Hedberg, Dahlgren, Hansson, and Olve (1999) consider the virtual organization as not physically existing as such, but enabled by software to exist.[23] The virtual organization exists within a network of alliances, using the Internet. This means while the core of the organization can be small but still the company can operate globally be a market leader in its niche. According to Anderson, because of the unlimited shelf space of the Web, the cost of reaching niche goods is falling dramatically. Although none sell in huge numbers, there are so many niche products that collectively they make a significant profit, and that is what made highly innovative Amazon.com so successful.[24]
Hierarchy-Community Phenotype Model of Organizational Structure
In the 21st century, even though most, if not all, organizations are not of a pure hierarchical structure, many managers are still blind-sided to the existence of the flat community structure within their organizations.[25]
The business firm is no longer just a place where people come to work. For most of the employees, the firm confers on them that sense of belonging and identity- the firm has become their "village", their community.[26] The business firm of the 21st century is not just a hierarchy which ensures maximum efficiency and profit; it is also the community where people belong to and grow together- where their affective and innovative needs are met.[4]
Lim, Griffiths, and Sambrook (2010) developed the Hierarchy-Community Phenotype Model of Organizational Structure borrowing from the concept of Phenotype from genetics. "A phenotype refers to the observable characteristics of an organism. It results from the expression of an organism's genes and the influence of the environment. The expression of an organism's genes is usually determined by pairs of alleles. Alleles are different forms of a gene. In our model, each employee's formal, hierarchical participation and informal, community participation within the organization, as influenced by his or her environment, contributes to the overall observable characteristics (phenotype) of the organization. In other words, just as all the pair of alleles within the genetic material of an organism determines the physical characteristics of the organism, the combined expressions of all the employees' formal hierarchical and informal community participation within an organization give rise to the organizational structure. Due to the vast potentially different combination of the employees' formal hierarchical and informal community participation, each organization is therefore a unique phenotype along a spectrum between a pure hierarchy and a pure community (flat) organizational structure."[4]P

Ebelechukwu Obiano, wife of Anambra State Governor Willie Obiano, has threatened to slap critics of the governor's vegetable export scam, a source has revealed to SaharaReporters. "If you bring your face it will be slapped. Big time," she promised in in a WhatsApp message forum after her husband was criticized for his $5 million vegetable export scam.
Ebelechukwu Obiano, wife of Anambra State Governor Willie Obiano, has threatened to slap critics of the governor's vegetable export scam, a source has revealed to SaharaReporters.
"If you bring your face it will be slapped. Big time," she promised in in a WhatsApp message forum after her husband was criticized for his $5 million vegetable export scam.
The source shared screenshots of the exchange between the aggrieved Mrs. Obiano and a member of the forum, reproduced here, in which she issued the threat.
It was confirmed that the woman making the threat was in fact Mrs. Obiano after the source searched her number in the TrueCaller app, returning the name "Osodieme Osodieme," which is Mrs. Obiano's nickname.
In addition to this source, an administer of the WhatsApp group also confirmed the number as belonging to Mrs. Obiano.
This development comes less than a week after a SaharaReporters investigation revealed that Mr. Obianofalsely claimed his State earned $5 million in vegetable exports. As a part of his campaign promoting Anambra State's agricultural industry, Mr. Obiano used images of vegetables that he claimed had been grown in Anambra State.
That claim however failed the test of authenticity. When we subjected the pictures to a reverse image search, it was revealed that they had been pulled from other websites.
SaharaReporters reached out to Mrs. Obiano on the same phone number listed in WhatsApp. She denied ever threatening to slap any person and repeatedly said that she would not ever do that.

Ferris to be on ESPN3
John Raffel
Published 7:22 am EDT, Wednesday, August 28, 2019
BIG RAPIDS — For the fifth consecutive year, the Ferris State University football program has been selected to compete in the NCAA Division II National TV Showcase "Game of the Week" this fall as the Bulldogs' Sept. 14 road showdown against Central Washington will be televised on ESPN3.
Kickoff for the non-league tilt between the two national powers has been moved up to 4:05 p.m (Pacific) or 7:05 p.m. (Eastern) in Ellensburg, Wash.
Fans can watch the game on ESPN.com and the ESPN App across computers, smartphones, tablets and connected streaming devices.
The trip to Washington will represent the longest trip in school history for the Bulldogs.
NCAA Division II today announced the 18 regular-season football games that will be showcased live on ESPN3 or NCAA social media as part of a media agreement intented to highlight Division II athletics events on several platforms throughout the academic year. The first 18 games of the football showcase are predetermined games, 16 of which are conference matchups. An additional four flex games — intended to highlight crucial matchups — will be finalized later in the season and played in November.
"It's exciting to see our program continue to receive increased nationwide exposure year after year and reflects positively on what we've accomplished here at Ferris State," said FSU head coach Tony Annese. "The GLIAC continues to be one of the top Division II conferences in the country and the opportunity to showcase our program and our conference on this platform is outstanding."
This year will mark the fifth consecutive year in which the Bulldogs have participated in the Division II National Showcase after a Bulldog home game was showcased each of the past four years.
Four years ago, the Bulldogs' home tilt against Michigan Tech was part of the previous D2 national agreement with the American Sports Network while the 2016 home outing against Ashland was also featured by ASN. In 2017, the Bulldogs had two games featured on ESPN3, including both the road matchup at Ashland and the Anchor-Bone Classic home tilt versus archrival Grand Valley State. Last season, Ferris State's home outing against Ashland was the featured matchup.
Now in its second year, the division's media agreement features two distribution models for football and basketball. For football, 11 games will be streamed on ESPN3, available on the ESPN app. The remaining 11 football games are part of the hybrid model, and they have the flexibility to be distributed on TV and online. The division will work with the TV partners of participating conferences and schools on the opportunity to air games on TV.
These games also will be distributed online through NCAA social media accounts — specifically, Division II Facebook (facebook.com/ncaadivisionii) and Twitter (@NCAADII) — and could be distributed through conference or school digital networks.
"It's always exciting to begin a new academic year and the start of the Division II season," said Terri Steeb Gronau, vice president of Division II. "We're looking forward to highlighting the teams that will be featured in the football showcase and promoting the Division II brand on several platforms for fans to see across the country."
Games included in the scheduled were broadcasts were selected from a pool of conference nominations. Of the 16 football-sponsoring conferences in Division II, 15 will be featured in at least one game.
One conference declined to participate due to an existing media rights agreement.
Of the teams competing in the slate of games, 15 appeared in the 2018 Division II playoffs, and 15 begin the 2019 season ranked in the top 25 of the American Football Coaches Association Division II poll.
"The football showcase features several great teams and matchups," said Daryl Dickey, chair of the Division II Football Committee and athletics director at West Georgia. "It's always fun to follow Division II football and celebrate our student-athletes for their excellence on the field, in the classroom and in the community."
ESPN3 is ESPN's live multi-screen sports network, a destination that delivers thousands of exclusive sports events annually.
It is accessible on ESPN.com and the ESPN App across computers, smartphones, tablets and connected streaming devices.
The network is available at no additional cost to fans who receive a pay TV subscription from an affiliated provider. The network is also available at no cost to U.S. college students and U.S.-based military personnel via computers, smartphones and tablets connected to on-campus educational and on-base military broadband and Wi-Fi networks.

Reporting at Wit's End- Tales from the New Yorker
Everyone that knows me knows I adore the New Yorker...some of it is a bit silly but I really love it when a reporter is able to do an in-depth article that includes volumes of research and subtle details that make you really know the subject. For example, last month they had a very detailed and fascinating article about some Serbian diamond thiefs, the "Pink Panthers". It didn't just cover their crimes, but went on to their upbringing, their techniques, the methods of searching for them, and on and on. Most magazines are not willing to give up the space for such depth.
That's why Reporting at Wit's End "Tales from the New Yorker" by St. Clair McKelway, is such a treat for me. It's a collection of the best articles New Yorker has offered, but in a totally inventive way. It selects feature articles from different decades, the 1930s, 40s, 50s and concludes with two from the 1960s. These aren't famous people biographies or even well-known articles, just well-written articles about subjects fascinating at the time.
One is "Average Cop", a very long study of one of New York's finest, as he goes about his day, from a 1930s issue. Big details and little details are combined to make a complete character study, and it's done uniquely: there's no mockery or subtle elevation of his character. It's just about him. As he is. There's no effort made to push a political agenda or disclose social ills. It's a simple story about a man, and it's fascinating.
From the 1950s, an article called "The Rich Recluse of Herald Square" about the death of an elderly hoarder, and her mysterious life. Little details make it painful and tragic, and yet there's this strange sense of power that this woman and her sister had, in order to put the world in its place (and out of theirs). Little pictures of human kindness abound.
This is a great collection, and one that I personally enjoyed very much. I thought it was interesting to see the changes in writing and social details between the decades discussed. What was considered improper in the 1930s is handled without note in the 1960s. A great supplement to American history for the 20th century.

Toulouse Sex Guide advises where to find sex, working girls, prostitution, street hookers, brothels, red-light districts, sex shops, prostitutes, erotic massage parlors, strip clubs and escorts in Toulouse, France.

Prostitution in France (the exchange of sexual services for money) was legal until April 2016, but several surrounding activities were illegal like operating a brothel, living off the avails (pimping) and paying for sex with someone under the age of 18 (the age of consent for sex is 15).
The stand-out measure from the bill and the one that has caused the most controversy is the law that will see customers fined if they are caught paying for sex.
By making the clients rather than the prostitutes the guilty party the reform will "turn the current law on its head," according to French Socialist MP Maud Olivier, who has been the driving force behind the change.
Under the plan, customers will be fined up to €1,500 and up to €3,750 for repeat offenders.
If you have some extra time Toulouse, Spain is a 3h drive from Toulouse, and there are plenty of brothels, sex clubs and prostitutes.
Studies from 2003 estimated that about 15,000 – 20,000 girls work as prostitutes in France. In 2010, the number of full-time male and female sex workers was estimated at 20,000 – 30,000, with 80 to 90% being foreigners. Most of the sex workers come from Bulgaria, Romania, Nigeria, Cameroon, China and South America.
In 2004, the average earnings of a French sex worker were estimated at €500 a day. For Sub-Saharian sex workers living in France, it was less, around €200–300. Some barely made €50–150 a week.

Q: Conformal map example $ f(z)=e^z$ I an studying the example-1.
I understand $f(z)=e^z$ has a nonzero derivative at all points, hence it is everywhere conformal and locally $1-1$.
But I dont understand th part I underlined with yellow pencil. Please explain it. Thank you so much:)

A: $z+x+iy$, $f(z)=e^z$, so $e^{c+iy}=e^c(\cos y+i\sin y)$ assuming $x=c$ constant is a circle with radius $e^c$
and $e^{x+ic}=e^x(\cos c+i\sin c)$
The Modulas of  $f(z) = e^x,$ argument $f(z) = y.$
Horizontal lines in the cartesian plane have a constant $y$ value so the argument of the map of the horizontal line is also constant while the norm changes with $e^x$ so horizontal lines are mapped to rays with argument $y.$
vertical lines have a constant $x$ component so the map of vetical lines have a constant modulas so vertical lines get mapped to circles centered at the origin with radius $e^x$

A: Conformal maps preserve angles, it is their defining property. From wikipedia, "a conformal map is a function which preserves angles". So when an angle is mapped from the pre-image to the image, it is the same if the map is conformal at that point. If it is not conformal, the angle may change.

Home Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin)
What Is The Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin)?
BaFin is Germany's financial regulator and is responsible for ensuring the stability and integrity of the German financial system.
The Federal Financial Services Authority (BaFin) was established in 2002 to serve as the primary regulator of Germany's financial markets and institutions. Known as Bundesanstalt für Finanzdienstleistungsaufsicht in Germany, BaFin was created by the Financial Services and Integration Act 2002, effectively merging three existing Federal agencies: the Banking Supervisory Office, the Supervisory Office for Securities Trading, and the Insurance Supervisory Office.
Today, BaFin integrates the regulatory functions of those agencies with authority over Germany's banks, financial services companies, insurance companies, stock exchanges, and other obligated institutions. An important part of BaFin's role as regulator is to identify and eliminate financial crime – a function which includes promoting anti-money laundering in Germany, and countering the financing of terrorism.
An independent institution, BaFin reports directly to the German Federal Ministry of Finance and is led by a board of four executive directors and its president, currently Felix Hufeld. BaFin is one of the largest supervisory authorities in the EU: it maintains two headquarter locations in Bonn and Frankfurt and is funded by levies on the financial institutions that it supervises.
What Does BaFin Do?
BaFin's main focus is the supervision and regulation of financial institutions in Germany in order to maintain the stability and safety of the wider financial system. In this capacity, it conducts a range of supervisory practices under the authority of legislation including the German Civil Code, the Banking Act, the Insurance Supervision Law, and the Securities Trading Act. BaFin's duties and responsibilities include:
Licensing new banks and financial institutions for operation in Germany.
Performing ongoing supervisory functions to ensure compliance with BaFin rules and regulations.
Collecting financial statements and reports from financial institutions, and evaluating that information in coordination with Deutsche Bundesbank.
Auditing and reviewing banks and financial institutions to assess their compliance performance.
Enforcement: BaFin has the power to initiate legal action against financial institutions that are in violation of its rules and regulations. Where it finds wrongdoing, BaFin may impose financial penalties, remove personnel from their positions in banks, or appoint external supervisors to take over management. Although it has the authority to impose punishments, BaFin often works with offending institutions to resolve the issues discreetly.
BaFin AML/CFT Policy
Germany is a member state of the global Financial Action Task Force and so, as a regional and global leader in CFT and AML, BaFin works to implement the policies set out in the FATF's 40 Recommendations. Since 2003, BaFin has integrated all AML/CFT responsibilities into its Department for the Prevention of Money Laundering which supervises financial institutions under the authority of Section 50 of the Money Laundering Act – known in Germany as the Geldwäschegesetz (GwG). To comply with BaFin's AML/CFT rules, banks and financial institutions must:
Develop a risk-based AML/CFT program.
Implement KYC and other customer due diligence measures.
Screen new and existing customers for adverse media and international sanctions.
Screen for politically exposed persons (PEP).
Appoint an AML officer to oversee the internal AML/CFT program.
International Role: As the financial regulator for one of the world's most influential economic powers, BaFin is tasked with representing Germany on the global stage. BaFin participates in a number of international bodies, including the FATF and the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS), in order to help develop and shape global AML/CFT standards.

About Bob Gebelein
Bob Gebelein graduated from Harvard with a BA in Mathematics in 1956, and then went on to have a legendary career as a computer programmer and creator of software systems.
But the main focus of his adult life has been to create a new civilization, because of the threat of nuclear annihilation and other cultural problems. His methods were psychotherapy, withdrawal from the culture, and dream analysis. He succeeded in his quest by discovering how "human nature"itself can be changed, to compassion and altruism, to create a new kind of human being, who will then create a new civilization. He is a new civilization with a population of one.
His book, RE-EDUCATING MYSELF, describes his search and the answers that he found. THE MENTAL ENVIRONMENT describes the network of lies from which he extricated himself. His original songs, on "Uncle Bobby's Record," now have an international following.
Because he is writing from a new civilization, he can view the scientific establishment with some perspective, especially because he is not controlled by it. Also he brings to DIRTY SCIENCE original concepts such as "the mental senses," "mental warfare," and "psychological age," which make this work a step ahead of the present culture.

Howard Schultz: Exploring A Presidential Run
Steve Forbes Forbes Staff
"With all thy getting, get understanding."
Howard Schultz and Steve Forbes.
Ben Hardy
Last week we discussed with Howard Schultz, a man who will probably run for president as an independent, the critical events that shaped him, starting with a turbulent, often abusive childhood. Despite experiences that would have shattered others, he emerges as a strong, determined, extraordinarily far-sighted man unafraid to take risks and defy conventional wisdom, characteristics that enabled him to create the Starbucks we know today.
Particularly impressive in all of this tumult and defy-the-odds business-building is that Schultz never lost his basic humanity or his idealistic desire to make things better—Starbucks is the first company to provide health insurance to all part-time partners (as he calls his employees); it also offers a stock buying program for all partners, not just management.
In this conversation, Schultz talks about his innovative college program that has enabled some 10,000 partners to attend college online and about his impressive, successful outreach to veterans.
But we also see a man who can manage a major crisis, a crucial attribute for someone in the Oval Office: the gut-wrenching actions he had to take—painful layoffs, including numerous people he knew personally, and some 1,000 store closings—to save his company from the economic crisis of 2007-09 and a series of internal mistakes. He is not a man who shrinks from tough decisions. Yet even here there was something he would not do—get rid of employee health insurance even though premiums exceeded the cost of coffee beans.
Then we discuss critical issues he will be grappling with if he becomes president—taxes, healthcare, education, the Federal Reserve, foreign policy. Even if you disagree with some of his views—and to be fair, he hasn't yet issued detailed policy statements—what emerges is a man who recognizes that in many areas like health, education and taxation, a systemic overhaul is necessary, and he makes the case that the two parties are incapable of achieving this. What also becomes clear is that this a man keenly interested in and hungry for practical ideas and insights. He is wise enough to know he doesn't know it all—so rare in the political world. Of course, we hit the basic question: Can Howard Schultz win the White House, something no third-party candidate, not even the formidable Teddy Roosevelt, has ever pulled off. He says yes and tells us why. Delusional? Given the times we are in, just the opposite.

Balanced by 'Astringent', 'Bitter', 'Dry'.
Salt brings out the flavor in food and brings enthusiasm for life. It stimulates secretions, thus improving digestion. Salt is a laxative, breaking up all hard masses in the digestive tract. Salt in excess obliterates all other tastes and causes thirst.
Salt causes water retention, increases blood pressure, and effectively combats dryness in Vata. It cleanses the body by breaking up obstructions in all channels. It nourishes the nerve tissue. Salt liquefies Kapha mucus in the lungs and sinuses, allowing for easier removal.
Salt is used to induce vomiting in pancha karma cleansing therapies. Yogis drink a quart of water with two teaspoons of salt to completely purge the GI tract.
Ayurveda recommends limited use of mineral salts only. Refined salts should be avoided. Excess salt increases flabbiness and wrinkling of the skin. Salt pulls water into the intercellular space through osmosis, separating ojas from the tissues. It delays healing by causing secretions in wounds. In excess, salt damages fluids, decreases libido, hardens muscles, damages bones, causes premature aging, and spoils the blood.
The average human loses 2 grams of salt per day. This amount increases to 30 grams (6 tsp) when exercising in hot weather. You may have noticed a crust on your skin after sweating on a hot day. In the summer it is vitally important to maintain electrolytes. Every year people who over-exert themselves on hot days die not of dehydration, but salt deficiency. At one time, salt, like sugar, was worth its weight in gold. The British controlled India through a tax on salt. Ancestrally, humans obtained most of their salt from the blood and muscle of their prey.
The kidneys manage the ocean of water in the body. Vata people with leaky kidneys sometimes benefit from anti-diuretics, like salt, licorice, and Rehmannia root. Anti-diuretics help rebuild fluids and counteract the diuretic effect of Vata type ama (toxicity).
Salty taste includes all foods that are rich in minerals, such as nettles. For the same reason, soil is considered salty. Many foods high in potassium, like potatoes, dandelions, and beans, are diuretics. Potassium and salt work like opposites in the body, both in fluid retention and on a cellular level (recall the sodium potassium pump). Salt aggravates Kapha. Potassium pacifies Kapha.


The factory ''Mavromatis Kumquat'' began in 1965. It's a family business that specializes in processing and bottling Kumquat in liqueurs and sweets.
The production line reaches one million bottles and fifty tons of Kumquats in jams and pastries.
Another activity of our factory is the production of Ouzo, Brandy and twenty different fruit-flavored liqueurs.
''Mavromatis'' factory produces Kumquat products such as Jams, Madolato, Marmelade, Loukoumi delight, Madola, Baklava and Extracts of Kumquat. Also, it produces classic Madolato, Loukoumi Limoncello, Loukoumi Rose Petals, Fig Pie, Baklava with almonds, Limoncello and Ouzo.

Photography gives me the opportunity to discover places and people. With time, photography evolved into a passion, influencing me as I influenced it. I focus on capturing moments: a landscape, a facial expression, a detail. This is my vision, modest and realistic, colorful or colorless.
My personal blog features technology, photography, books, and life. I share my experiences so you can avoid my mistakes and leverage on my successes.

Beyond the gate, the first volume of a fantasy novel about the adventure of two young adults, discovering the world and themselves.
A poetry book, a collection of poems divided in emotions and thoughts, written by a young pensive student. I wanted to prove poetry doesn't have to be unclear to be interesting.

Enchanter's Child, Book One: Twilight Hauntings (Paperback)
By Angie Sage
(Kids Middle Grade)
Angie Sage, New York Times bestselling author of the Septimus Heap series, crafts a fantasy world where enchantment is illegal, Oracles knit octopuses, wizards run around in soggy underpants, and one girl is on a mission to save Enchantment and Enchanters, which might just save the kingdom. Now available in paperback.
Alex has a set of Enchanted cards. When she flutters her fingers above them, something magical happens: the cards come alive and create moving pictures of what is now and what is yet to come. But Enchantment is illegal in the city of Luma, and those who practice it are imprisoned forever in the Vaults—dark dungeons deep below the city.
When Alex is betrayed by her foster sister Zerra, she knows she is in great danger. With the help of her little foster brother, Louie, she makes a daring escape.
But Alex discovers she is not safe outside Luma either. Here lurk deadly Hauntings that seek out those who practice magic: Enchanters and their children. The Hauntings take many forms and Alex is hunted by a giant bird of prey, the Hawke, a murderous Night Wraith called the Grey Walker, and the eerie Xin.
But why do the Hauntings haunt Alex?
Alex doesn't believe she's an Enchanter's Child, but she has no idea who her parents are. Her precious Enchanted cards are her only clue to her true identity, and she becomes determined to find out who she is. And, while she is at it, to get rid of the deadly Twilight Hauntings forever.
Praise for Angie Sage's Twilight Hauntings:
"Intricate worldbuilding, richly evocative settings, nuanced characters, deftly woven plotting, and wry humor. An unmitigated delight." –Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Fans of fantasy and adventure will snap this up and eagerly await the sequel." –School Library Journal (starred review)
"Sage deftly crafts an endearing and familiar fantasy story, expertly characterizing distinct, extreme personalities. Fantasy fans will highly anticipate the next steps in Alex's journey in the projected sequel of the Enchanter's Child duology." –Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books
ANGIE SAGE was born in London and grew up in the Thames Valley, London, and Kent. She loves the sea, spooky old houses, and time traveling (the easy way, by reading history books). Angie has created many books for children, including the New York Times bestselling series Septimus Heap and Araminta Spookie. She lives in England. Visit her online at www.angiesage.com and on Twitter @AngieSageAuthor.
"Once again, Sage offers intricate worldbuilding, richly evocative settings, nuanced characters (all have flaws and don't always manifest their good intentions), deftly woven plotting, and wry humor. An unmitigated delight."
— Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Sage has built a fully realized world populated by intriguing characters and terrifying monsters. She skillfully builds tension using plot twists that include friendship and betrayal, good intentions and misunderstandings, fearsome attacks and daring escapes, and family dramas of various sorts. Fans of fantasy and adventure will snap this up and eagerly await the sequel. A first purchase."
— School Library Journal (starred review)
"In this fast-paced fantasy, first in a duology, Sage (the Septimus Heap series) weaves an engaging tale of constant danger and capricious magic. Sage's world is inventive and weird. Following multiple viewpoints . . . the overlapping, interweaving narrative allows for a panoramic experience with an almost madcap intensity."
"[A] miscommunication-driven goose chase [that is] charming, if sometimes frustrating . . . to watch unfold. This duology opener will surely find fans among readers of Sage's own popular Septimus Heap books, as well as Patrick Carman's Land of Elyon series."
"Sage deftly crafts an endearing and familiar fantasy story, expertly characterizing distinct, extreme personalities. Other appeals include the avoidance of genre stereotypes, age-appropriate horror, and wry humor through dramatic irony. Fantasy fans will highly anticipate the next steps in Alex's journey in the projected sequel of the Enchanter's Child duology."
