Don''t waste you time with health and diet Web sites that don’t work. The Internet provides unlimited resources that make it easy to learn about various diets, weight-loss programs, and weight-reduction procedures. But with so many sources, which ones can you trust for information that’s safe, accurate, and up-to-date? The Internet Guide to Medical Diets and Nutrition saves you time, trouble, and effort in your search for Web sites that offer the facts about diet programs and nutrition philosophies that meet your health, medical, or religious needs.

This invaluable reference resource teaches you how locate Web sites recommended to you, how to evaluate the information you find there, how to research a particular diet or health concern, how to choose and use the right search engine, the significance of domains in Web addresses, and how to observe proper etiquette when participating in Internet discussion groups. Topics examined in the Internet Guide to Medical Diets and Nutrition include: - general diet and nutrition Web sites - Web calculators (Body Mass Index, exercise, calories, weight-maintenance, healthy weight) - the nutrient content of foods - food labels - non-surgical weight-loss Web sites - caloric restrictions - hypnosis - weight-loss centers and workshops - weight-loss surgery Web sites - Web sites for specific medical conditions - vegetarianism - recipes - online discussion groups - and much more!

Input-Output in the United Kingdom - - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Originally published in 1970. Input-output analysis has been described as the "lynch-pin of modern economic planning". Its purpose is to trace the consequences of any economic change through each sector of the economy; to measure, for example, the effects of an increase in fuel tax on the price of food, or of an expansion in car production on the country’s import bill. This kind of knowledge is clearly essential for making economic predictions. This book presents the proceedings of the 1968 Manchester Conference including six outline papers, each followed by discussion, and several summaries of ongoing and proposed research which were added afterwards. The speakers and participants constituted a representative sample of persons from Industry and Commerce, as well as the Universities and the Civil Service.

Wolf in Cio's Clothing - Tina Nunno - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

Machiavellians are few in number in IT. The massive pressure on CIOs continues to increase as the opportunities to use technology in business become more prevalent and more competitive. As CIOs often find themselves at the center of business conflict, they must not only familiarize themselves with Machiavellian tactics as a defensive weapon, but also learn to use them as an offensive weapon in extreme situations so that they can increase IT''s contribution to their enterprises. As Italian political philosopher Niccolo Machiavelli implied, you''re either predator or prey, and the animal you most resemble determines your position on the food chain. In The Wolf in CIO''s Clothing Gartner analyst and author Tina Nunno expands on Machiavelli''s metaphor, examining seven animal types and the leadership attributes of each. Nunno posits the wolf -- a social animal with strong predatory instincts -- as the ideal example of how a leader can adapt and thrive. Technology may be black and white, but successful leadership demands an ability to exist in the grey. Drawing on her experience with hundreds of CIOs, Nunno charts a viable way to master the Machiavellian principles of power, manipulation, love, and war. Through compelling case studies, her approach demonstrates how CIOs and IT leaders can adjust their leadership styles in extreme situations for their own success and that of their teams.

Quick Changeover for Operators - Shigeo Shingo - Bog - Taylor & Francis Inc - Plusbog.dk

The powerful knowledge contained in this book can make your workplace more productive, your job simpler, and everything more satisfying. It''s about how to do equipment or product changeovers in record time--often in less than 10 minutes. The method you''ll learn here is called SMED, short for "Single-Minute Exchange of Die" (the "single" here means a single-digit number of minutes). Developed from a longer book, A Revolution in Manufacturing: The SMED System (cat no. PP9903), written for managers, this book is written for frontline production and assembly associates. It presents an overview of the reasons why SMED is important for companies and employees, sets out the three basic stages of SMED, and then devotes a separate chapter to each of these stages. The first chapter of the book is like an "owner''s manual" that tells you how to get the most out of your reading time by using the margin assists, summaries, and other features of the book to help pull out exactly what you need. One of the most effective ways to use this book is to read and discuss it with other employees. The authors planned the book so that it can be used this way, organizing the book into chunks of information that can be covered in a series of short sessions. Each chapter includes reflection questions to stimulate group discussion. A Learning Package is also available (catalog no.PP7126), which includes a leader''s guide, overhead transparencies to summarize major points, and color slides showing examples of SMED applications in different kinds of companies.
