Do As I Say Not As I Do Schweizer Peter Paperback

The American Left prides itself on a selfless commitment to economic and social justice. With moral certitude, confident of the purity of their motives and the evil nature of their opponents, they support a familiar litany of causes and programs: progressive taxes, affirmative action, greater regulation of corporations, increasing the inheritance tax, stricter environmental safeguards, consumer rights, and more. But do liberals actually practice what they preach? Peter Schweizer dug deep into the tax returns, real estate documents, business and investment patterns, court depositions, and hiring practices of Michael Moore, Al Franken, Noam Chomsky, the Clintons, Nancy Pelosi, the Kennedys, Ralph Nader, Cornel West, George Soros and Barbra Streisand. All are adept at avoiding taxes, invest in the very industries they denounce, and abandon environmental causes when they impinge on their own property rights. While they cry racism and support affirmative action, they have abysmal records when it comes to hiring minorities. They condemn abstinence-based sex ed programs, but enroll their own children in such programs. Schweizer makes it clear that when it comes to what matters most in their lives--the protection of their property, privacy, and families--even the most outspoken liberals jettison their progressive ideas and adopt conservative principles. In short, liberalism forces its adherents to become hypocrites. Schweizer's conclusion is strikingly simple and highly persuasive: liberal principles that don't work for individuals have no place in shaping national programs and policies.

The Virtual Manager Collection Harvard Business Review Boxed Set

Today we have greater control over where and when we work. As our businesses spread across the world and technology makes it easy to do our jobs from anywhere there's Wi-Fi, more of us have the option to go remote. But that doesn't mean we're good at it. Whether you're calling in from a home office every day or one of your team members occasionally logs in from the quiet car on a train, distance can make collaboration more difficult. Remote work gives teams flexibility and options, but when you're not face-to-face with colleagues, it's difficult to set and manage expectations, deal with inevitable tech glitches, keep your people (and yourself) motivated and engaged, and infuse warmth and personality into the blunt communication tools you're using.The Virtual Manager Collection gives you the solutions you need to be productive, whether you're managing a team, a project, or just your

What are the secrets of her success? How does she still approach her day-to-day with such vitality and aplomb, even when culture and society are changing rapidly all around her? The Queen on fame: When an MP commented that it must be a strain meeting so many strangers all the time, the Queen smiled, "It is not as difficult as it might seem. You see, I don't have to introduce myself. They all seem to know who I am." The Queen on fashion: In the late sixties when Mary Quant and the mini skirt came to epitomize all that was fashionable, Princess Anne suggested her mother might also consider shortening her hemline.

Jazver - Eva Luka

Žena v poézii Evy Luky je iracionálna, raz vyčkávajúca, pasívna, a inokedy spod kontroly sa vymaňujúca bytosť. Opúšťa odcudzený, nespoľahlivý, civilizovaný svet, v ktorom sa ľudské stalo neľudským. Preniká do magického a podmanivého univerza snov, vízií a preludov. V neraz bizarnom príbehu osobnej mytológie sa ako záchrana črtá návrat alebo zostup do zrozumiteľnejšieho sveta zvierat a rastlín. Cez zvieracie, animálne sa manifestuje bolestivo ľudské. Vzťah k mužskému partnerovi je rovnako animálny, túžba po ňom má svoj vyhrotene napätý telesný rozmer. V paralelnej existencii zbavenej ničivých nánosov kultúry sa pre ženskú hrdinku vynára priestor na zachovanie vnútornej slobody a autenticity. Jazyk Evy Luky postavený na bizarných slovách a neologizmoch je strhujúci vo svojej pitoresknosti, imaginácii a akejsi zvláštnej obohacujúcej deformovanosti. Poetika Evy Luky je svojskou a invenčnou odpoveďou na otázky smerujúce k bezvýchodiskovosti časti najnovšej básnickej tvorby. Básnická zbierka vychádza v edícii Mušľa s pôvodnými ilustráciami autorky textu.
