Anger Management Best Practice Handbook: Controlling Anger Before it Controls You, Anger Management Proven Techniques and Excercises - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: This book covers all the Methods of Anger Management for a balanced approach to managing anger, which both controls the emotion and allows the emotion to express itself in a healthy way. Some descriptions of actions of anger management you'll learn to manage and control anger through activities within this book are: * Direct, such as not beating around the bush, making behaviour visible and conspicuous, using body language to indicate feelings clearly and honestly, anger directed at persons concerned. * Honorable, such as making it apparent that there is some clear moral basis for the anger, being prepared to argue your case, never using manipulation or emotional blackmail, never abusing another person’s basic human rights, never unfairly hurting the weak or defenseless, taking responsibility for actions. * Focused, such as sticking to the issue of concern, not bringing up irrelevant material. * Persistent, such as repeating the expression of feeling in the argument over and over again, standing your ground, self defense. * Courageous, such as taking calculated risks, enduring short term discomfort for long term gain, risking displeasure of some people some of the time, taking the lead, not showing fear of other’s anger, standing outside the crowd and owning up to differences, using self-protective skills. * Passionate, such as using full power of the body to show intensity of feeling, being excited and motivated, acting dynamically and energetically, initiating change, showing fervent caring, being fiercely protective, enthusing others. * Creative, such as thinking quickly, using more wit, spontaneously coming up with new ideas and new views on subjects. * Forgiving, such as demonstrating a willingness to hear other people’s anger and grievances, showing an ability to wipe the slate clean once anger has been expressed. * Listening, to what is being said to you. Anger creates a hostility filter, and often all you can hear is negatively toned. A common skill this book and most anger management programs teach is learning assertive communication techniques. Assertive communication is the appropriate use of expressing feelings and needs without offending or taking away the rights of others. It is typically started with the use of “I” statements followed by a need statement. For example, “I feel upset when you don't take my feelings into consideration when you talk about your past relationships. I hope you can be more thoughtful and know what you should and should not say the next time.” With regard to interpersonal anger for example, this book recommends that people try, in the heat of an angry moment, to see if they can understand where the alleged perpetrator is coming from. Empathy is very difficult when one is angry but it can make all the difference in the world. Taking the other person's point of view can be excruciating when in the throes of anger, but with practice it can become second nature. The main issue of anger management is that anger is regarded as an incorrect projection of the mind, so that insight can ultimately correct the mind and eliminate anger completely. This book helps you gain that insight.

Deal with Your Debt: The Right Way to Manage Your Bills and Pay Off What You Owe - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Why do colleges cost so much? Large capital spending provide the best facilities, faculty, and sport centers and teams to keep wealth alumni donors happy. Universities hope to boost their national ranking by spending on high-speed internet access, new gyms, concert halls, and better student housing. Faculty salaries are expensive. The median salary for a tenure professor is $76,200. Many colleges are trying to shrink class sizes and reduce class loads so professors can do more research and bring glory to the University. What type of loans are available? A Perkins loan offers a 5% fixed interest rate and a maximum borrowed amount of $20,000. Stanford loan is a variable rate loan capped at 8.25% and a 4% upfront fee. How much should you borrow? None is the correct answer. If you don't have money then don't go to college. Save your money then go to college. If you yield to temptation and accept a loan then your loan payments once you graduate shouldn't exceed 10% of your expected monthly gross. You will have 10 years to repay the student loan. If you earn $40,000 then your payback will be 4,000 a year (10%) or about 340 dollars a month for a $26,000 dollar loan. The average undergraduate loan is about 26k. 50 percent of the student enrolled in college do not graduate and leave the college with heavy student debt. If you graduate making less than 40k the loan repayment amount will be overextended in ratio to earnings. Instead of 10 percent of your wages the loan will represent 15 to 20 percent. The heavier debt loan increases the risk of default.
''Read you loud and clear!'': the story of NASA'S spaceflight tracking and data network - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Regardless of how sophisticated it may be, no spacecraft is of any value unless it can be tracked accurately to determine where it is and how it is performing.At the height of the space race, 6,000 men and women operated NASA’s Spaceflight Tracking and Data Network at some two dozen locations across five continents. This network, known as the STDN, began its operation by tracking Sputnik 1, the world’s first artificial satellite that was launched into space by the former Soviet Union. Over the next 40 years, the network was destined to play a crucial role on every near-Earth space mission that NASA flew. Whether it was receiving the first television images from space, tracking Apollo astronauts to the Moon and back, or data acquiring for Earth science, the STDN was that intricate network behind the scenes making the missions possible. Some called it the “Invisible Network,” a hallmark of which was that no NASA mission has ever been compromised due to a network failure.Read You Loud and Clear! is a historical account of the STDN, starting with its formation in the late 1950s to what it is today in the first decade of the twenty-first century. It traces the roots of the tracking network from its beginnings at the White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico to the Tracking and Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS) space-based constellation of today. The story spans the early days of satellite tracking using the Minitrack Network, through the expansion of the Satellite Tracking And Data Acquisition Network (STADAN) and the Manned Space Flight Network (MSFN), and finally, to the Space and Ground Networks of today.Written from a non-technical perspective, the author has translated a highly technical subject into historical accounts told within the framework of the U.S. space program. These accounts tell how international goodwill and foreign cooperation were crucial to the operation of the network and why the space agency chose to build the STDN the way it did. More than anything else, the story of NASA’s STDN is about the “unsung heroes of the space program.”

The 30-Minute Celebrity Makeover Miracle: Achieve the Body You've Always Wanted - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Time—there’s never enough of it. Most of us already have too much to do. We’ve gone beyond just burning the candle at both ends; our candles are fully engulfed in flames. Work, kids, school, shopping, cleaning.You get the picture. Sadly, when time gets tight, the first thing we sacrifice is taking proper care of ourselves. We try to get by on less sleep, we skip meals, and we cut back on the time we spend at the gym. As a trainer, the two biggest questions I get are “Can I really change my body if I only have thirty minutes to work out?” and “Should I be doing cardio or lifting weights?” Happily, I know the answers to these questions. My job is to transform bodies. If there’s one thing I know, it’s makeovers. I’ve done them on the Weekend Today show, Access Hollywood, Entertainment Tonight, VH1, and the USA Network, to name just a few places. What makes these makeovers unlike the ones you see in magazines is that they are done on video, not in still pictures. Pictures can be studied and cho- sen to show off the model at his or her best. Unflattering shots end up in the trash, or they get touched up until they’re more flattering. Video, on the other hand, doesn’t lie.
