He examines our fundamental needs and how either an excess or a lack of them can lead to unwelcome consequences. Through personal and professional experiences, he leads us on a journey towards understanding and taking responsibility for our actions while providing tools through which to examine our own behavior and arrive at better decision making processes.
Whose Story Is It Anyway? (Workbook) By: Bryan Veal Whose Story Is It Anyway? (Workbook) provides an opportunity for introspection and enables individuals to examine why they think and act the way they do, what stories they have been told, what stories they have made up that are controlling their lives. This workbook will provide the ability to create a new way of thinking, thus changing unwanted behaviors. You will see how you have been programmed to think a certain way by other people’s stories and society’s stories. If you feel stuck or have settled for where you are or convinced yourself that you are where you want to be, this workbook will help you move to a place that you REALLY want to be…unless you are that 1 percent of the world that is doing what they really want to do.
Air Emissions from Animal Feeding Operations: Current Knowledge, Future Needs discusses the need for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to implement a new method for estimating the amount of ammonia, nitrous oxide, methane, and other pollutants emitted from livestock and poultry farms, and for determining how these emissions are dispersed in the atmosphere. The committee calls for the EPA and the U.S. Department of Agriculture to establish a joint council to coordinate and oversee short - and long-term research to estimate emissions from animal feeding operations accurately and to develop mitigation strategies. Their recommendation was for the joint council to focus its efforts first on those pollutants that pose the greatest risk to the environment and public health.

The year is 1961, the place, Ireland. Inside a monastery is Brendan O'Kane who, at thirteen years of age, has been recruited into the Irish Christian Brothers. Does he have a true vocation? The recurring doubt causes him sleepless nights. Furthermore, he is confused about his awakening sexuality, repressed totally as it is by the Catholic Church in Ireland of the sixties and by his vow of chastity. Years later, he is faced with a momentous decision: he must decide once and for all if the price he has paid has really been worth it . . . INSIDE will strike a chord with many who grew up in the fifties and sixties, who remember the smells of the classroom and dancehall in those pre-deodorant day...
Nutrients from livestock & poultry manure are key sources of water pollution. Ever-growing numbers of animals per farm & per acre have increased the risk of water pollution. New Clean Water Act regulations compel the large confined animal producers to meet nutrient application standards when applying manure to the land, & USDA encourages all animal feeding operations to do the same. The additional costs for managing manure (such as hauling manure off the farm) have implications for feedgrain producers & consumers as well. This report¿s farm level analysis examines onfarm technical choice & producer costs across major U.S. production areas for hauling manure to the minimum amount of land needed to assimilate manure nutrients. Illustrations.
Many public and private sector organizations around the world have initiated a reliability and asset management program to drive efficiencies, mitigate risks and manage the asset throughout the entire lifecycle. However, it's well known that more than seventy percent of those implementations fail to become a long-term sustainable solution, and some of them never get off the ground!The development and implementation of a reliability and asset management program most often focuses on the technical aspects of the journey and not the cultural journey itself. The journey is filled with challenges, barriers, difficult decisions, successes and failures. How does one understand these items and how s...
