Winning the middle market is critical to business owners, and vital to the U.S. economy. Providing a comprehensive framework for understanding the market for private mid-sized businesses, Middle Market Strategies helps owners avoid unnecessary risks and enjoy some well-deserved returns by sharing the lessons learned from hundreds of featured business owners.

Four generations ago, seven of Jana Richman's eight great-great grandmothers walked all or part of the 1,300-mile trek, from Nauvoo, Illinois, on the Mississippi River to Salt Lake City. Traveling on faith and little else, they endured unfathomable hardshipsbitter cold, extreme heat, mud, icy river crossings, blizzards, buffalo stampedes, disease, hunger, and exhaustionnever stopping until they reached their promised land where they could be free to practice a religion that few outsiders understood and many violently condemned. One hundred and fifty years later, Jana Richman packs maps and a laptop computer on the back of a motorcycle and follows the route of her ancestors, searching for the peace and faith the women before her carried with so much confidence. Jana also searches for a clearer understanding of how her devoutly Mormon mother is able to reconcile an independent spirit and enormous inner strength with her intense belief in a patriarchal institution. Riding into the nation's heartland, visiting graveyards, chatting with missionaries, and soaking in the rituals of the faith she so casually shrugged off as a teenager, Richman begins to unravel her family's mysteries and confront her own long-held prejudices about the Mormon Church., This book is an essential guide to the use of technology in flexible and distance learning.

English 0670022942 Inspired by his From the Ground Up New York Timesblog, a beautifully written memoir about building and brotherhood. Confronted with the disappointments and knockdowns that can come in middle age-job loss, the death of his mother, a health scare, a divorce-Lou Ureneck needed a project that would engage the better part of him and put him back in life's good graces. City-bound for a decade, Lou decided he needed to build a simple post-and-beam cabin in the woods. He bought five acres in the hills of western Maine and asked his younger brother, Paul, to help him. Twenty years earlier the brothers had built a house together. Now Lou saw working with Paul as a way to reconnect with their shared history and to rediscover his truest self. As the brothers-with the help of Paul's sons-undertake the challenging construction, nothing seems to go according to plan. But as they raise the cabin, Ureneck eloquently reveals his own evolving insights into the richness and complexity of family relationships, the healing power of nature, and the need to root oneself in a place one can call home. With its exploration of the satisfaction of building and of physical labor, Cabinwill also appeal to readers of Robert Pirsig's Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance,Matthew Crawford's Shop Class as Soulcraft,and Tracy Kidder's House.

English 0415571707 Many books about educational leadership suggest that school principals are now increasingly engaged in managerial processes, work intensification, and high stakes practices that are subject to various forms of audit and scrutiny. However, very few of these books actually help us to understand why this is the case or how principals engage with these issues in their daily life. Indeed, most books about the principalship are largely descriptive, prescriptive and rely on normative models of leadership. In addition, there are a plethora of 'best practice' books that tend to ignore the complexities and messy reality of daily work for school principals.This book argues that the work of educational leadership needs more sophisticated theorisation in order to better understand the complexities that face many school principals. With the current shortage of applicants for principal positions in a number of Western countries, what is required are more sophisticated and nuanced tools with which to understand the pressures and constraints that face principals on a daily basis. This book draws upon the work of Michel Foucault to provoke new thought into how the principalship is lived and 'disciplined' in ways that produce both contradictions and tensions for school principals.This book is distinctive from other educational leadership titles in that it: Provides a well theorised analysis of leadership practices Acknowledges the messy reality of life for school principals Provides key insights to the 'real' work that principals undertake every day Examines the production of principals' subjectivities in education, foregrounding issues of gender and race Includes the principals' voices through rich interview data.The book will therefore be of significant interest to those working and researching in educational leadership. This includes researchers in the field and academics who teach into educational leadership and administration courses.

Rather than searching for the latest leadership fad or best practice model, this book suggests that in order to better understand these pressures, the work of educational leadership requires more sophisticated theorisation of these practices. In so doing, the book draws upon the work of Michel Foucault to provoke new thought into how the principalship is lived and disciplined " in ways that produce both contradictions and tensions for school principals. Amidst claims of a shortage of applicants for principal positions in a number of Western countries, what is required are more sophisticated and nuanced tools with which to understand the pressures and constraints that face principals in their work on a daily basis.

English 0983150206 Let's face it. Poker is one of the most high-energy and exciting games in the world, but you play it parked on your rear-end. We've all experienced the long grind of sitting at a casino poker table or in front of a computer for dozens of hours-and we've all wondered: "How can I possibly play poker all the time still stay fit and healthy?" The irony is that while poker demands high levels of mental energy, it requires virtually no physical energy or exertion. Even a long, grueling poker tournament gives you far less exercise than playing a single round of golf. Not only that, but constantly holding back your body's "Fight or Flight" response to risk and uncertainty can fill your blood with dangerous levels of stress hormones. Stressed out, emotionally upset, unhealthy, and fatigued, players can struggle to think and play well. The REAL secret about TILT is that the emotional responses that lead to it are physical reactions, not mental ones; physical reactions that can't be controlled by simply changing how you think. You need to be able to work your body and to burn off extra energy and stress while you play: Poker Isometrics. In this book, you'll be exposed to closely guarded concepts and techniques of isometric fitness and muscle control which will blow your mind. Anton Drake, a yoga and martial arts expert with more than 20 years of experience, gives you a simple yet detailed guide on how to covertly turn poker sessions into isometric fat-burning and muscle-building workbenches, where your body will be transformed into a powerhouse of lean muscular energy.

The path to masteryof real isometrics is mapped out for you with innovative diagrams and pictures; and thecrystal-clear explanations will quickly teach you the fine points of good technique-so you'll start getting stronger from Day One. Poker isometrics will show you how to use isometrics with maximum effectiveness while playing poker-whether at the casino or at your desk., Poker Isometrics is an amazingly effective system of exercise that is designed to combat one of the biggest health dangers in the modern world, the relentlessly sedentary lifestyle that so many of us find ourselves locked into on a daily basis. Poker Isometrics can be defined as the art of using isometrics discretely during periods of extended sedentary sitting or physical inactivity. It was developed in the grinding world of professional and semi-professional poker, where players often have to sit six, twelve or even eighteen hours at a time with tremendous patience and emotional control in order to compete effectively in lucrative tournaments and cash games. In poker, there is always a premium on the concealment of one's thoughts and intentions during the play of a hand--the classic common clich'f the "poker face"--and this ultracool mindset is at the heart of the modern game. The ability to manage stress, even under tremendous pressure, and to be able to think and reason clearly under the gun is a big part of live poker in casinos everywhere, and it is from this underworld of the savvy poker predator that the techniques of Poker Isometrics have emerged. Poker Isometrics is a highly practical system of using isometrics covertly, forged in the crucible of competitive tournament poker, which can allow anyone, anywhere, to effectively use isometrics for fitness, weight loss, strength building, muscle control and stress reduction, whether they are playing a game, driving long distance, flying, laid up with an injury, watching TV, or sitting long hours at a desk. An increasing mountain of scientific evidence suggests that inactivity and the sedentary lifestyle may prove to be more dangerous to our collective health in the long run than smoking and overeating combined. This book is a contribution to the literature regarding the issue, and offers a serious solution to this slow-creeping and devastating problem, which to some degree afflicts every adult who is obliged to sit for countless hours, day after day, in order to work and survive in the information age. Poker Isometrics draws from the isometric practices and techniques of yoga, American wrestling and the martial arts, synthesizing them into an incredibly effective system. This highly detailed book reveals remarkable secrets about the practice of isometrics, and explains how to generate real power and intense fat-burning energy from the inside out, and how to engage and control them most effectively, building and mastering your kinesthetic control. It teaches clearly, through detailed photographs and illustrations, the positions and subtle tricks and adjustments that allow one to truly "feel the burn" of intense muscular activity, quickly and easily, and without having to move around at all. Many people have reported that the techniques in this book have allowed them to get, literally, the most efficient leg, butt and upper body workouts they have ever experienced, all while sitting in a chair at work or sitting in a car or airplane. Poker Isometrics teaches you how to use your body's natural "fight or flight" response to burn fat and energize your muscles, rather than letting it soak into your body uselessly, increasing sedentary stress, inflammation, and obesity. This book contains many innovative isometric techniques and a wealth of insight into the deep application of isometrics, which will be of benefit to both the beginner and the advanced practitioner. It also includes comprehensive chapters on diet, nutrition and nutritional supplements, including cutting edge supplements for the health of the heart, the brain, the digestive system and the sex organs. We invite you to take the Poker Isometrics challenge, and see how far you can expand your knowledge of isometrics and applied physical fitness.The Kindle version of this book includes a fully linked table of contents, and is optimized for all Kindle platforms., Poker Isometrics: The art of applying isometrics to the game of poker in order to get fit, build muscle, lower stress levels, get sexier, stay off tilt, conceal your tells, oxygenate your brain, think clearly and play your best. Let's face it. Poker may be the most high-energy and exciting game in the world, but the reality is that you play it sitting on your butt. We've all spent dozens of hours at a time sitting at casino poker tables or in front of computer screens-and we've all wondered: "In the long run, is it even possible to play poker every day and still be fit and healthy?" The truth is that while poker demands high levels of mental energy, it requires virtually no physical energy or exertion. Even the longest, toughest poker tournament gives you far less exercise than playing a single round of golf. Meanwhile, suppressing and holding back your body's "Fight or Flight" responses to risk and frustration can fill your blood with damaging stress hormones. Stressed out, tense, emotionally upset, frustrated and Tilted, players can struggle to think and play well. The REAL secret about Tilt is that the emotional responses that cause it are visceral, hormonal, physical reactions: physical reactions not easily controlled by merely changing your thoughts.
