  Eugenics and Other Evils - An...

  G. K. Chesterton’s highly influential treatise on one of the most controversial topics of the early twentieth century When G. K. Chesterton first published Eugenics and Other Evils in 1922, he seemed to be the lone voice of reason against the fashionable concept of selectively breeding a population for “desirable” traits. Though later generations came to associate eugenics with the horrors of the Third Reich, worldwide support for the philosophy was at an all-time high when Chesterton penned this brave and prophetic work. His unique combination of somber analysis and coruscating wit produces an argument too persuasive to ignore. Eugenics and Other Evils showcases Chesterton at the height of his rhetorical powers. His discussion of capitalism, socialism, and the concerns that guide our moral decisions is as pertinent today as the day it was penned.   This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.

  “Based on the latest findings in the field of canine cognition and behavior, this book is an invaluable resource.” —Hal Herzog, author of Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat: Why It's So Hard To Think Straight About Animals   Every dog owner knows that along with the joy can come the stress and frustration of behavioral problems, which are expensive to diagnose and treat. Enter Kim Brophey, award-winning canine behavior consultant. Using cutting-edge research, Brophey has developed a groundbreaking system that allows owners to identify what their dog is struggling with, why, and how they can fix it.   Brophey’s approach is unlike anything that has been published before and will give dog owners a new understanding of what motivates and affects their dog’s behavior. This innovative technique rethinks the way we categorize dogs, and distills information from over twenty scientific disciplines into four comprehensive elements: learning, environment, genetics, and self. With revolutionary tips for specific dog breeds, this book will change dog owners’ lives—and lead to happier human-canine relationships.   “It’s refreshing to finally find a book that takes into consideration the many predispositions to behavior problems in dogs . . . teaches us to really see the dog in its entirety.” —Alexandre Rossi, author of A Dog at the Keyboard

  Are you wondering what the potential applicability of the cannabinoid CBG has to dermatological disorders?Are you looking for a short narrative review that won’t break the bank that has also been co-written by someone who holds a Ph.D. in plant-based medicine and pharmacology?Maybe you have already started incorporating CBD into your topical products and wondered if its big brother, the lesser-known cannabinoid, CBG, is going to be even more effective in treating chronic skin issues?Regardless of why you are here, you won’t be disappointed.We have conducted a detailed literature search for you in MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases using the following keywords, including synonyms, and all the possible combinations of them; cannabinoids, skin disorder, cannabigerol, cutaneous disorder.Relevant studies that reported a mechanism of action or a dermatological therapeutic effect of CBG, were included in this review. The 35 medical studies we reviewed are contained at the end of this paper so you can go off and study them in more detail if required.As someone who co-founded Scotland’s first cannabis cosmetics manufacturing specialist, Cannafull, and CBD beauty brand, Ascend, I know first-hand what it is like to be ahead of the curve. I truly hope you find this short paper useful in kick-starting discussions on how CBG will eclipse CBD’s market-disrupting footsteps in monumental fashion.The big question is, will you embrace it early on, or get left behind...“There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.” — Niccolo Machiavelli

  Project Myopia - Why Projects...

  Projects fail. Some say 40% of all IT projects fail, some say 70%. And it has been that way for years. 
  Each project fails for its own reasons but they all share one thing in common: the Project Model. 
  Could it be the project model itself which creates failure? 
  In this tour de force Allan Kelly explains why the project model is a poor fit for managing software development. Working from industry recognized definitions of projects he describes how the model deviates from reality then goes on to discuss:Why focusing on time, scope, and cost damages software, creates goal displacement and reduces qualityHow projects miss the bigger pictureWhy maximizing value demands work across projectsWhen debt is good and how projects increase technical debt to the detriment of value delivery 
  Projects end. Successful software continues. Twenty-first century digital businesses want to continue and grow. 
  "This book is an excellent exploration of the short-sightedness of the project model for software, and should be essential reading for anyone involved in managing software development, delivery, or operations." Matthew Skelton 
  "The project model does not fit the reality of managing software development. In this bracingly short book Allan provides an eloquent critique, landing his points well without waffle." Ewan Milne 
  "An excellent book which thoughtfully critiques the "project" construct that we have all been conditioned to accept as "normal". This book is thought provoking, explaining how and why projects are harming the development of software. If you work on change projects the that involve, or are driven by, software.. then this book will be for you! It challenges thinking and provokes thought." Adrian Reed
