Live On
The Christian poetry and quotes of Live On is written to inspire, uplift, and encourage the downtrodden, the weary, and those who are heavy laden. Quite often we all endure situations, which may appear absolutely bleak and unbearable. In our darkest hour, let us remember God and the gift of His only son, Jesus Christ, whom He sent into this world, and who died on the cross for all of our sins. God has also given us grace and salvation. With all of the blessings bestowed upon us, we still must have tremendous faith. It is through my unending faith that I bring my gift, Live On to you. My prayer is that with the help of God, all those who savor the pages of Live On will be strengthened into faith, more abundantly.
Fraud and Corruption
Executives are under enormous pressure to meet stakeholder expectations regarding the prevention of fraud and corruption. However, the drive to demonstrate that they are complying with legislative requirements and high principles has, in many cases, overshadowed the need to deal with the problem itself. As a result, fraud and corruption remain a significant unmanaged source of risk for many organizations. Drawing on experiences across Europe, America and Australia, Iyer and Samociuk give you the tools to establish an effective and far-reaching anti-fraud and corruption programme. Included is a compendium of techniques for assessing the true risk of fraud and corruption, reducing those risks and using health checks to provide early warnings. Also included is The Tightrope, A Story of Fraud and Corruption...which takes the reader from first suspicions through crisis and finally recovery in a vivid and instructive style, covering the lessons in the main text. This new book is a must-read for all those responsible for the prevention of fraud and corruption, risk management, corporate compliance, corporate responsibility and governance.
The Tightrope
“If you are planning to make accusations I’d advise you to get the evidence first. Otherwise I’d watch your mouth, Stasi-boy”. André Stacey’s life is turned upside down when an anonymous tip-off forces him to examine the behaviour of his colleagues, his own actions and aspirations and that of his company. It’s not easy for André when close allies suddenly seem to have another agenda. Are they naive? Are they turning a blind eye? Or are they involved? The Tightrope is a fast-paced management novel revealing how easily and unpredictably corruption and fraud can strike at the heart of your organisation. Through the eyes of André Stacey we learn how to recognise and overcome the political, practical and human challenges of dealing with corruption and fraud in our working lives.
The Most Beautiful Woman on the Screen
Having just arrived at the train station in his hometown, Lieutenant Leo von Sellinthin (John Gilbert) is greeted by his family. A close-up shows his eyes suddenly widen. He seems captivated by a sight which is revealed only within the following point-of-view-shot. The lieutenant's mesmerized facial expression materializes: a woman of exquisite beauty is entering the field of vision. Within the norms of a certain system, beyond all subjective criteria of taste, beauty has been personified by film actress Greta Garbo. In Hollywood of the twenties, she was cast as «The Most Beautiful Woman on the Screen». The object of consideration here is how Garbo's beauty was produced and standardized within the film industry. An analysis of a star requires an investigation of the qualities ascribed to him or her. Beauty is only one of numerous possible characteristics of a star; statements about «The Most Beautiful Woman on the Screen» grant insights into a star's overall function during a certain period in film history. Therefore, Greta Garbo is interesting not as a person, but rather as a case in point for a specific form of presenting beauty.
Ivanhoe
Ivanhoe, hier in neuer Übersetzung ins Deutsche, historischer Waverley-Roman, der im mittelalterlichen England spielt, wurde Walter Scotts bekanntestes und einflussreichstes Werk. Es spielt im England des 12. Jahrhunderts und enthält farbenfrohe Beschreibungen eines Turniers, von Geächteten, eines Hexenprozesses und von Konflikten zwischen Juden und Christen, Normannen und Sachsen. Viele, darunter Thomas Carlyle und John Ruskin, schreiben Ivanhoe zu, dass er das Interesse an der Ritterromantik und am Mittelalter geweckt hat. Wie John Henry Newman es ausdrückte, hatte Scott "als erster den Geist der Menschen in Richtung Mittelalter gelenkt". Ivanhoe wurde auch zugeschrieben, die zeitgenö...

Ideologie und Zivilreligion in Singapur nach der Unabhängigkeit
Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2006 im Fachbereich Politik - Internationale Politik - Region: Südasien, Note: 1,0, Universität Erfurt (Staatswissenschaftliche Fakultät), Veranstaltung: Politik und Religion in Ostasien, 8 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Das politische System Singapurs dürfte weltweit einzigartig sein. Es stellt eine eigenartige Verbindung von Stabilität formaler demokratischer Prinzipien – insbesondere regelmäßiger Wahlen –, wie sie wohl in wenigen ehemaligen Kolonien vorzufinden ist, einerseits und einer relativ autoritären Machtausübung durch die Regierung andererseits dar. Oft wird auf Singapur der Ausdruck des „sanften Autoritarismu...
