Mobile phones could kill far more people than smoking or asbestos, a study by an award-winning cancer expert has concluded. He says people should avoid using them wherever possible and that governments and the mobile phone industry must take “immediate steps” to reduce exposure to their radiation.
The study, by Dr Vini Khurana, is the most devastating indictment yet published of the health risks.
It draws on growing evidence – exclusively reported in the IoS in October – that using handsets for 10 years or more can double the risk of brain cancer. Cancers take at least a decade to develop, invalidating official safety assurances based on earlier studies which included few, if any, people who had used the phones for that long read more…
Liderlik bir cesit etkileme sanatidir… Elindeki gucu sadece insanlari etkilemek amaciyla kullanmaktir… Eldeki guc kontrol amacli kullanildiginda ortaya cikan duruma liderlik degil yonetim denir. Cunku yonetimin 5 fonksiyonundan biri kontroldur.
Frenchman Henri Fayol[3] considers management to consist of five functions:
Lider kontrol eden degil etkileyebilen ve yonlendirebilendir…
Fakat kontrol etme gudusu bazilarinda hastalik duzeyindedir… Etraflarindaki herkesi ve herseyi kontrol etmeye calisirlar.. Fakat aci olan sudurki kontrol etmeye calisdikca kendimizi dahi kontrol edemez hale geliriz… Yani cevremiz ve cevremizdekilere zarar verdigimiz yetmedigi gibi birde kendimizi yipratir dururuz..
Cunku hicbir zaman gercek anlamda sizin kontrolunuz mumkun olamayacaktir.. kendinizi yipratmanizin alemi yok…
Cozum yollarindan biri William Glasser M.D. ‘in secme/secim teorisi (choice theory) olabilir.
Evinde bir cocugu dahi idare edebilme yetisinden yoksun insanlarin devlet idare etmeye calismasi kadar gulunc birsey olamaz. Aslinda ilk liderlik egitimini ailemizden almaktayiz… sonra kendimiz ebeveyn oldugumuzda aile ortaminda sergiledigimiz tutum ve davranislarda bir anlamda liderliktir… Basit bir ornek vermek gerekirse herseye mudahele edip cocugunu surekli kontrol altinda tutmaya calismak sizin yonetici bir ebeveyn oldugunuzun gostergesidir. Fakat cocugunuza alternatifler sunup onun alternatifler arasinda secim yapmasi sizin lider bir ebeveyn oldugunuzun gostergesidir. Lider ebeveyn elindeki gucu cocuklarini kontrol amacli degil etkilemek ve yonlendirmek amaciyla kullanirlar… Simdi evinde cocuguna dahi guc gosterisi yapmaktan cekinmeyen biri, hiyerarsik yapilarda astlarina gucu gostermemesi ve hissettirmemesi icin bir sebep yoktur aslinda. Lider biri yine hiyerarsik orgutlerde elindeki gucu alternatifler sunarak yine istedigi sekilde astlarini idare etme ve yonlendirme amacli kullanir.
Liderlikte gonulluluk esastir, yoneticilikte gonul faktoru devre disi birakilir… Kimin uzun vadede etkin olacagini tahmin etmek zor olmasa gerek…
The Ten Axioms of Choice Theory
1. The only person whose behavior we can control is our own.
2. All we can give another person is information.
3. All long-lasting psychological problems are relationship problems.
4. The problem relationship is always part of our present life.
5. What happened in the past has everything to do with what we are today, but we can only satisfy our basic needs right now and plan to continue satisfying them in the future.
6. We can only satisfy our needs by satisfying the pictures in our Quality World.
7. All we do is behave.
8. All behavior is Total Behavior and is made up of four components: acting, thinking, feeling and physiology
9. All Total Behavior is chosen, but we only have direct control over the acting and thinking components. We can only control our feeling and physiology indirectly through how we choose to act and think.
10. All Total Behavior is designated by verbs and named by the part that is the most recognizable.
By TARA PARKER-POPEThe push-up is the ultimate barometer of fitness. It tests the whole body, engaging muscle groups in the arms, chest, abdomen, hips and legs. It requires the body to be taut like a plank with toes and palms on the floor. The act of lifting and lowering one’s entire weight is taxing even for the very fit.
“You are just using your own body and your body’s weight,” said Steven G. Estes, a physical education professor and dean of the college of professional studies at Missouri Western State University. “If you’re going to demonstrate any kind of physical strength and power, that’s the easiest, simplest, fastest way to do it.” read more…
Stanley Fish - Think Again: Why McCain Would Vote For ObamaWhy McCain would actually do better against Obama than he would against Clinton.
Of course, things could change. Obama may not get the nomination, in which case McCain’s advantage with respect to the war would evaporate as he faced an opponent whose flexibility matched his own. (Clinton’s refusal to apologize for her vote to authorize flips instantly and becomes a shield against a McCain attack, where before it was the target of an Obama attack.) Rumors about McCain’s relationship with a female lobbyist might possibly be substantiated by new evidence. The fact of his age could work against him were he to be standing at a podium next to a younger, telegenic opponent. Obama fever may spread, not only to Clinton supporters but to independents and Republicans who become caught up in the gospel of hope and change. The youth vote might actually turn out for once.
Still , I would bet that if McCain were pulling a lever in the Democratic primaries in Texas and Ohio, his vote would go into the Obama column read more…
