Cordova Family's Cozy and Colorful Fall Family Photos
The Cordova family decided to adventure out with Bryan to the Sangre de Cristo mountains outside of Santa Fe for their family photos at the absolutely perfect time to catch the amazingly colorful fall foliage of the aspen trees in October. It has been a blessing to watch the Cordova family grow from engagement photos to their daughter's newborn session to now. Getting out of town and adventuring to a new beautiful location is always a great idea for family photos any time of the year. We have had the opportunity to travel to White Sands, Tent Rocks, Sandia Crest, and the Sangre de Cristo mountains for photo shoots this year and are excited for even more destination photo shoots. Where do you think we should go next?

This 5x9 1/2' 2-Ply Polyester American flag features an Embroidered Star Field and Sewn Stripes to provide both beauty and strength. It is made from a 100% 2-Ply spun-woven Polyester Fabric which is designed to help resist high winds. This 2-Ply Polyester material out performs all other Polyester flags around.
If your flag is located along a coastline, hilltop, or if you notice that your flag is constantly flying straight out and not lifting and dropping gently in the breeze (like it should be doing), then you have two options:
If you are continually replacing flags because they are ripping too fast, then our 2-Ply Polyester flags are what you need.
This size flag (5x9 1/2') is a government specific size. This flag is also called an "Interment Flag" or "Casket Flag" it is commonly used for funerals or triangular memorial flag cases.
This size flag (5x9 1/2') is normally hung on a wall, in a window, or displayed on a small flagpole (25'-30' high).

Students with a degree in psychology can find career opportunities working in schools, corporations, or in the social services sector. Many psychology grads work in the field of mental health, under the supervision of a clinical psychologist or psychiatrist. Psycho-analysis is based on changing problematic behaviors, feelings, and thoughts by discovering their unconscious meanings and motivations. By comparison, Jungian therapy focuses on the collective unconscious, dream archetypes, and symbolic representation. In dysfunctional families, children must learn to cope with unbearable situations, and often develop classical psychological symptoms. Therapists in turn will attempt to identify destructive behavior and emotions, and select suitable therapy.
In brief therapy as outlined by Milton Erickson, the therapist treats clinical and subjective conditions faster by precise observation, and direct intervention. Rather than a prolonged analysis of historical causes, the primary approach of brief therapy is to help the client become more versatile in the present, prompting successful clients to undergo spontaneous changes. Behavioral Therapy, on the other hand, addresses both normal and abnormal behaviors. Desensitizing is classical conditioning in action, where a therapist might help a client with a phobia through repeated exposure to the causal agent. Operant conditioning is more direct, relying on rewards and punishments to shape behavior. Beyond consideration for LA City College philosophy department, you may think about Penn State Lehigh Valley academic excellence for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Cases For and Against Towing
Even so early into our adventure, before we've even started looking at vehicles, we have to make a decision. Do we tow our Honda Accord behind our (currently theoretical) Class A motorhome? We hashed out plenty of cases for, and against, doing so. We reviewed loads of posts from other bloggers who have also struggled with this decision and here's what we came up with.
Not To Tow
Opportunity Cost: Unless the tow car is paid in full, there are still financing payments that need to be made. Selling (or not buying) the vehicle means more cash to spend on campsites, fuel and wine. We could get about $6000 for our Accord, which would eliminate the monthly payments and put some cash back into our pockets (thus increasing the initial budget while lowering our monthly expenses significantly).
Upfront Cost: The towing equipment costs money. We have a fixed budget for our rig, so any extra gear comes out of that budget.
Buyback Risk: Our first 12 months on the road will surely reveal many struggles. If we choose not to tow, we may quickly find that we wish we had. If we sell the car, then we have to re-buy one. Budgeting for that, when it's not even a certainty, means less money to put towards the initial Class A purchase. Also, it's a pain in the butt to sell a car, only to rebuy one a year later.
Fuel Efficiency: More weight on the rig means a drop in MPGs, and that means money is burning. Every mile we tow the car is a mile we pay for a privilege that we're not actively using.
Bottom Line: Added Complexity = Added Costs. Towing a vehicle means buying more equipment. It means more potential points of failure. It means an additional vehicle to maintain.
To Tow
Emergency: Sometimes you just need to get in the car and get the hell out of dodge. Maybe the RV breaks down in the middle of the desert and the water tanks are empty. Maybe someone gets sick or injured and needs to get to a hospital now, not in 20 minutes when the RV is ready to drive again. Even in non-critical situations, it's faster to hop in the car (which will be unhitched upon arriving at campsites anyway).
Personal Space: I want to visit a Magic shop in down. She wants to sit at home and read. Without an ancillary vehicle, this is impossible. There's just no way that two people will be able to agree to do the same thing every single day for 365 days (or a lifetime…). A second vehicle turns a potential lover's quarrel into a non-issue.
Fuel Efficiency: Wait, didn't this go in the "against" section? Yes, but it was a red herring. The extra fuel burned towing the car on long haul trips is more than offset by the fuel saved when you drive the car instead of the rig. The math depends on your MPGs and your travel habits, but for every mile that you drive a car instead of the RV, you save about 66% on your fuel. With gas hovering around $4 per gallon in most parts of the continental United States, having a car can be worth $2 or $3 per mile. That may not sound like much, but if you want to drive around a National Park in the Western USA, that adds up real quick.
Bottom Line: It all comes down to versatility. In the finance world, it is common to spend a small sum of money to enable or preserve multiple choices. This is no different. Although towing presents new risks, it also enables a wide variety of alternatives, the lack of which pose their own risks.
Our Choice
After reading opinions of other RVers, most seemed to say that the versatility of a towed vehicle was extremely valuable. The most critical case against towing came from Technomadia, whom we consider to be among the foremost experts in this kind lifestyle. Even though they presented what seemed, prima facie, a negative case against towing, they ultimately decided that it was a necessity and bought a brand new MINI Cooper for this express purpose. As far as I'm concerned, case closed.
It's nowhere near time to "lock in" our decision, but all signs currently point towards bringing the Honda Accord with us.

Abstract The management of technology embodies human choice and freedom, and as such, it may not detach from philosophy and psychology, particularly in the innovation, knowledge and learning paradigm. This paradigm heralds knowledge workers in systems of innovation with renewed emphasis on information and intellectual capital as the primary assets for production. The thinking styles and cognitive preferences for technical knowledge workers are pertinent for sustaining the interrelationships between economic and environmental, social and political, science and technology agents, institutions and organisations. Based on a 2005 survey and descriptive statistics of primary data obtained from 330 respondents, this paper provides a review of cognitive mechanisms while discussing the ranking of preferred thinking styles for engineering and technology management in the new paradigm. Logical, problem solving, conceptualising, analysing and interpersonal thinking styles were ranked in the top five by a judgemental sample comprising engineering, science and technology oriented professionals in supervisory, middle to senior management positions. © 2006 Elsevier Inc.

1. Introduction It is widely acknowledged that the context of systems of innovation implies increased exploitation of information, knowledge and technology. This context is also used to describe the modern era for cultural, economic, environmental, and socio-political development. Extrapolating from an OECD definition [1], innovation includes the application, creation, diffusion, transformation and use of new {ideas, forms of organisations, methods, practices, processes, products, services, systems and technology}, to foster economic development and growth, to generate wealth and prosperity, and to uplift cultural and social well-being.

With globalisation and the ongoing transition to the systems of innovation paradigm, information and intellectual capital have become the primary means for production, as well as the key differentiators in economic, environmental, social and political development. Information and intellectual capital assets are fundamentally embedded in cognitive human beings, and considering the portability of information and readily mobile nature of intellectual capital, this makes knowledge workers the crucial resource for competitive advantage [2]. By force of circumstances, the systems of innovation paradigm and the challenges of globalisation provide impetus for the command-and-control management doctrines (cf. [3]) of the preceding industrialisation and mass production era to be reconnected to the fundamental disciplines of psychology [4] and philosophy. While psychology relates to the study of mental characteristics and human behaviour, philosophy encourages critical thinking and debate on issues related to human choice, freedom and value. Thus, the thinking styles and behavioural preferences of technology managers, their motivation [5], roles [6] and responsibilities are significant issues for the information, innovation, globalisation, knowledge and learning generation. In his view of engineering as ethics, Sjursen in [7] argues that the responsibility of engineering and technology disciplines in the globalised economy 'goes well beyond technical and empirical' but, must equally embrace the interrelationship between technological expertise and human values, with renewed regard to aesthethic, cultural, educational, environmental, economic, health, religious, resource allocation, safety, and sentimental issues. The global dimension for systems of innovation also means that knowledge workers operate as highly mobile specialists or generalists with outreach far beyond geo-political boundaries. With so much of the knowhow that underpinned the preceding era of industrial production in explicit form, the challenges for managing highly mobile knowledge workers in the innovation era require better understanding of human mental processing modes. In the new systems of innovation dispensation, the cognitive preferences of knowledge workers of every persuasion take on a new significance, and this is also true for practitioners in Engineering and Technology Management occupations and professions. Considering that engineering and technology managers may be viewed as a special subgroup of knowledge workers, if so, what cognitive preferences should they adapt to and adopt, and in particular, what attitudes should they exhibit as pertinent agents of the innovation generation? The rest of the paper includes a brief introduction to the concept of systems of innovation, knowledge and learning interaction in Section 2, and occupational cognitive preferences in Section 3. The ranking of thinking styles is presented in Section 4 with a discussion on the ramifications for cognitive preferences in engineering and technology management summarised in Section 5. The descriptive statistics of primary data presented in Section 4 arises from a 2005 judgemental survey and feedback obtained from 330 respondents. The respondents were supervisory, middle to senior level managers and generally had engineering, science and technology orientation. 2. Innovation, knowledge and learning 2.1. Systems of innovation Using the abstract form illustrated in Fig. 1, the concept of systems of innovation may be concisely described in terms of a knowledge value-chain comprising three broad recursive subsystems and associated linking processes that include: a) discovery and invention of ideas; b) development, diffusion and proving of ideas, and conversion into new forms of knowhow and knowledge; and

c) transformation of ideas, information, knowhow and knowledge into acceptable commercial, economic, environmental, and socially valuable outcomes. The outputs from knowledge-based systems of innovation range from information, knowhow and knowledge to valuable products and services. In order to generate these outputs, systems of innovation must be energised, linked and sustained by behavioural forms [8] which are generally delineated into public and private agencies, institutions, and organisations of various business persuasions. Fundamentally, it is the knowledge workers within these behavioural organisations that energise the linkages and sustain the innovation value-chain from discovery, through development, to acceptable valuable outcomes. As primary assets for the systems of innovation paradigm of economic development, knowledge workers define, govern and structure the interrelationships between the various organisational forms. They do this via networking activities, whilst concurrently deploying their competencies, enthusiasm, experiences, and skills to produce the desired outcomes. Networking induces learning interaction among knowledge workers across discipline, vocational and sectoral boundaries in systems of innovation. In turn, learning interaction between the networks facilitates knowledge articulation, absorption, creation, diffusion, transfer and transformation between economic, engineering, environmental, socio-political, science and technology agents, institutions and organisations.

Knowledge articulation, absorption, creation, diffusion, transfer and transformation may thus be defined as the key attributes of innovative capacity. Hence, the foundation structure of systems of innovation is formed from the coalition of knowledge workers within networks that cut across disciplines, vocations and sectors. The coalition of knowledge networks may be arranged such that they reside within the various forms of agencies, institutions and organisations. 2.2. Knowledge workers in systems of innovation Whether as individuals, agencies, institutions or organisations, the critical issues for behavioural components in systems of innovation include adaptation, growth and sustainability in an environment strongly characterised by rapid, and oftentimes, disruptive changes. Perhaps a way to overcome these challenges may depend on the synergistic integration of information, knowhow and knowledge with the cognitive preferences of individuals in agencies, institutions and organisations. The synergy required in the new dispensation to integrate information, knowhow, and knowledge towards innovative outcomes may demand wider cognitive mechanisms and extended mental processing capabilities, and begs to question current perceptions of thinking styles in engineering and technology management. As summarised in the editorial by Green and Aiman-Smith [9], 'humans working together must find effective ways to create and sustain the flow of ideas, information, decisions and tasks' that lead to innovative outcomes. With respect to information and intellectual capital mobility, computing and communication technologies are providing the major impetus for knowledge networking between the behavioural components (see Ref. [10]), continually changing the composition, dynamics, manner of operation, and the structure of systems of innovation. Engineering and technology managers form part of the wider social and societal networks within which the patterns of interrelationships between the behavioural components determine innovative capacity (cf. [11]). As a subgroup of knowledge workers, Lichtenthaler [12] points out that the cognitive preferences of engineering and technology oriented professionals are crucial for the management of technological change and technology intelligence processes. 2.3. The knowledge worker and cognitive overload The knowledge and learning imperative of the innovation generation imposes rapid adaptation to a dispensation characterised by high levels of uncertainty, novelty, emotion and time pressure, increased complexity, saturated multitasking, distraction due to increased interruption from various sources, and increased exposure to seemingly infinite sources of information, all leading to cognitive overload [13]. The implication here is that under such conditions, human cognition can be far from rational, since the active, effortful processing of information and knowledge into innovative outcomes may be influenced by a wide range of non-deterministic sources of bias and error. Faced with such conditions, the tendency for the knowledge worker to minimise cognitive effort through thinking short-cuts sometimes leads to errors in judgement and limited understanding of the impact of management attitudes. A ramification of the overload situation is that engineering and technology managers of the systems of innovation paradigm will require more sophisticated understanding of their own cognitive preferences, so that they can assist their respective organisations to better adapt towards synergistic integration of data, experience, information, knowhow and knowledge towards innovative outcomes.

3. Cognition and occupational profiles 3.1. Cognitive preferences There is a wide ranging discourse in literature on the relationship between cognition, human behaviour and occupation (see, for example, [14,15]). As reported by Ruiz and Sicilia [16], consumer behaviour in response to advertisements demonstrates the interaction between affection and cognitive reasoning as generators of personal preferences. From a clinical psychology viewpoint, Berle and Starcevic [17] indicate that thoughts and actions are inextricably linked. Whilst providing contextual perspectives on education in materials science and engineering, Östberg [18] reiterates that 'insight into mental imagery is of value to anyone who wants to understand the relative importance of various kinds of knowledge for the professional competence of materials engineers'. Following from these citations, the basic assumption is that the way individuals feel or respond to stimuli depend on their cognitive preferences and prevailing mental processing modes. This can be extrapolated to mean that thinking styles will precede behavioural manifestations; furthermore, the underlying cognitive dispensation prevalent in the knowledge worker will reflect in the attitudes exhibited in work or social situations. A dominant activity of engineering and technology management is decision-making. Oftentimes, the decisions made by managers reflect on their cognitive dispensation, mental processing modes and habits [19]. For example, the survey results reported by Kirsh [13] reveal that 43% of managers think that important decisions are delayed because the ability to make decisions is affected by cognitive overload. Baron's [20] conceptual treatise on cognitive influences on entrepreneurship suggests that understanding patterns of thought can aid entrepreneurs in avoiding failures of business propositions. This can also apply to engineering and technology managers, especially to those with entrepreneurial tendencies. As observed by O'Connor and McDermott [6], a multiplicity of roles is required to successfully implement five critical functions of radical innovation — 'idea generation, championing, project leading, gate keeping, and sponsoring or coaching'. These functions are embodied in entrepreneurship, hence, entrepreneurial behaviour has become the most acclaimed method for transforming ideas, information, knowhow and knowledge into commercial values. While strategic decisions and tactical choices invariably depend on the type of invention, knowhow, or intellectual property to be commercialised, however, the entrepreneur initiates, the entrepreneurial process nutures, and entrepreneurship sustains the commercialisation of intellectual assets into useful activities, and valuable products and services. To successfully move from the stage of initiation, nuturing, and to sustainance may require shifting emphasis on cognitive mechanisms and critical thinking styles. That is, the influence of a particular thinking style may be different in the different stages of the entrepreneurial processes for converting an idea into a business. As explained by Gabora [21], cognitive shift occurs from associationbased to causation-based thinking as the creativity process moves along the innovation value-chain from discovery/invention, through development, and towards the transformation of ideas, information and knowledge into valuable outcomes. If that is the case, it begs to question what cognitive preferences are necessary in the new dispensation, in order to harness the capabilities of engineering and technology managers towards innovative outcomes? Again, the implication here is that engineering and technology managers will require increasing emphasis on the cognitive aspects of human behaviour to be effective in the systems of innovation paradigm.

3.2. Thinking styles It has been argued by Zhang [22] that teaching for a balanced use of thinking styles may enhance a student's academic achievement but, whether this will later translate into appropriate behavioural preferences during professional practice is another issue. Frank and Elata [23] suggest that 'conceptualisation' as a basis for systems thinking can be developed in the early stages of engineering education. To evolve from the command-and-control management doctrine towards the information sharing and knowledge networking will require managers to continuously adapt to new thinking styles and behavioural preferences. Maccoby [24] supports this argument in suggesting that 'unless the culture changes', analysing, energising, synthesising, and humanizing 'thinking styles will not be adaptive'. Four thinking styles arising from examining management behaviour in medium- to large-sized boardroom situations have been categorised by Kakabadse and Myers [25] as — inspirational, elitist, consensual, and directive. Other classifications of thinking styles derived from a number of widely available psychological testing instruments include analyst, idealist, pragmatist, synthesist, and realist. For example, Culp and Smith [26] report on the correlation between an individual's behavioural preferences (as measured by Myers–Briggs Type Instrument) and perceptions of leadership effectiveness (as measured by Campbell Leadership Index Instrument), as a basis for improving leadership behaviour. The Myers–Briggs Type Instrument has also been applied by Yen et al. [27] to perform a cross-cultural comparison, showing that top management personality types can be 'associated with organisational environments that exhibit characteristics conducive to' the implementation of total quality management principles. Partly as a result of basic education and training, there are strong perceptions with regard to the thinking styles of technology management occupations when viewed in the context of the whole-brain model and the Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument (HBDI) [28] (see Fig. 2). A number of these thinking styles are also discussed in the "multiple perspectives" approach to decision-making [29]. Tests using HBDI [28] show that "proforma profiles of the mentality of" representative technology management occupations are depicted to manifest in left-brain dominated thinking styles. This contrasts with the profile shown for the entrepreneur which is located in the right cerebral quadrant of the HBDI model, where conceptualising, synthesising, imaginative, holistic and artistic (yes, artistic!) thinking styles predominate. 4. Desired thinking styles for technology management 4.1. Survey of engineering and technology professionals in management positions This section of the paper describes a survey conducted using the HBDI representation of thinking styles as listed in Fig. 2. The main research question and focus of the paper is: What do technology oriented professionals currently in management positions indicate should be the preferred thinking styles for future technical workers in the systems of innovation paradigm? The survey questionnaire was based on the premise that engineering and technology management practitioners are knowledge workers of the systems of innovation paradigm. Based on this premise, respondents were asked to indicate a rank for each of the twenty HBDI thinking styles on a five-point scale, ranging from 'not important (rank = 1)' to 'extremely important (rank = 5)'. The survey took place between June and September 2005, and data was collected from four groups of practicing engineering, science and technology professionals in two different countries.

Fig. 2. Whole-brain model and HBDI thinking styles.
The first group comprised senior research and development (R&D) managers in industrial organisations that have collaborated with, or are collaborating with university departments in South Africa on R&D activities. One hundred and fifty of these organisations were approached via email, fax and telephone but only 45 respondents completed the questionnaire during the survey period, thus giving a response rate of 30%. For this group, the questionnaire discussed in this paper formed part of a larger survey on "Research and Technology Commercialisation", hence the context was not exactly the same as for the subsequent three groups of respondents. For the following three groups, the questionnaire discussed in this paper was handed out directly to each respondent while participating in a workshop, seminar or technical meeting in which the author was present. In total, 312 questionnaires were handed out and the 285 that were returned with a ranking for each thinking style gave a response rate of more than 91%. The second group comprised 204 respondents, predominantly members of the Maintenance Engineering Society of Australia. The third group comprised 52 engineering oriented supervisory to management level employees of a diversified global mining and mineral resources company. The fourth group comprised 56 mid-level to senior management production and maintenance personnel of a large

mining and chemicals corporation. The respondents in the first, third and fourth groups were from South Africa. The oldest and youngest respondents were 67 and 28 years old with a mode age of 46 years. Over 73% of the respondents had academic qualifications ranging from higher diploma to doctorate degrees, and the remainder had received formal training commensurate with their supervisory and management positions. Every respondent had more than six months experience either in a supervisory, middle or senior level management position. To develop an eyeball insight into the opinions fed back by the respondents, data from the survey is presented here in the form of descriptive statistics. Respondents were not randomly selected and each group represented a judgemental sample that could not only complete the questionnaire but also, supply the necessary data. Therefore, the survey was not carried out on a homogeneous population, hence neither the data, nor each respondent group may be regarded as a probabilistic sample of professionals engaged in engineering and technology management. The implication of the data collection approach is that the summary of respondent opinions may not be generalised to represent the views of the entire population. 4.2. Respondent feedback The consolidated feedback from the respondents is tabulated in the order of preference as shown in Fig. 3, with the colour codes reflecting the 'whole-brain model' delineation of HBDI thinking styles. According to the descriptive statistics of the data, the top five preferences indicated by the respondents include (i) problem solving, (ii) logical, (iii) conceptualising, (iv) analysing, and (v) interpersonal thinking

styles (The logical thinking style may be ranked as number one because of the lower standard deviation, eventhough the problem solving thinking style shows the highest mean. That is, there was less disagreement in the rating for the logical thinking style than there was for problem solving). In a manner consistent with the HBDI mentality profiles of occupations, it is re-assuring to observe that the respondent feedback indicates preference for cerebral over limbic processing modes for engineering and technology management in the new era. The results show the top ten preferences to include: • • • • four left cerebral thinking styles — logical, problem solving, analysing, and technical; three right cerebral thinking styles — conceptualising, holistic and imaginative; two left limbic thinking styles — planning and organisational; plus one right limbic thinking style — interpersonal, which was actually ranked above the left limbic styles! This 5th ranking for the interpersonal thinking style is very significant, as it is a deviation from commonly held perceptions for engineering and technology management.
Whilst it can be argued that bias towards left cerebral thinking styles was expected from respondents with engineering, science or technology background, rather, it is noteworthy that the rankings support the view that engineering and technology managers represent a subgroup of knowledge workers. The rankings also indicate increased cerebral processing as the preferred mentality for synergistic integration of data, experience, information, knowledge and skills towards innovative outcomes. Although six out of the top-ten thinking styles re-iterate the perception of left-brain dominance, however, examination of the rankings also points to the desire for more right-brained mental processing modes. The high means and relatively low variances of conceptualising, holistic and imaginative thinking styles indicate behavioural attitudes necessary for technology commercialisation, forecasting and planning activities. The relatively high rankings of the interpersonal and organisational thinking styles indicate the desire for increased emphasis on human behaviour. In the findings of a FutureWorld [30] survey on "what's keeping global executives awake at night", respondents indicate, among other things, that the 'need to develop relationship and personal networking skills emerge as key priority for individuals and business'. 5. Discussion The data indicates desired preference for right-brain, cerebral mentality which, according to the HBDI profiling, is representative of entrepreneurial behaviour. The suggestion from the respondents is that entrepreneurship is a vital occupation in the new paradigm. It can be extrapolated to imply that engineering and technology management needs to embrace entrepreneurial behaviour to be effective in systems of innovation. Social and societal networks are crucial in systems of innovation, thus respondent indication for interpersonal and organisational thinking styles is necessary to engender appropriate behavioural attitudes for technical knowledge workers engaged in technology management functions. The ranking of the thinking styles also suggests a new direction for the cognitive dispensation of technical knowledge workers in the systems of innovation paradigm. Although the respondents to the questionnaire do not necessarily form a probabilistic sample population, however, the summarised opinions suggest the following two ramifications for thinking styles of technically oriented knowledge workers of the innovation dispensation. The first is the impact on organisational capacity for knowledge sharing and learning where right-brain thinking styles – holistic,

conceptualising and interpersonal – may be preferential. For example, adoption of such thinking preferences should facilitate tacit knowledge transfer across disciplines and functions internally in an organisation. Hence, for organisations, this may require further improvement in the psychological and philosophical skills of technical knowledge workers rather than in science and engineering disciplines. This supports the multiple perspectives approach [29], with the implication that organisations should seek to have technology management teams that not only comprise technically skilled people but also teams that are not deprived of, but enhanced with, right-brain thinking styles in their cognitive profiles. The second ramification is the impact on curricula for training technically oriented knowledge workers for technology management positions. A cursory Internet search suggests that many existing technology management development curricula do not include psychology and philosophy but, assuming that such thinking styles are incorporated in curriculum content, and emphasised during curriculum delivery, the real issue becomes how to assess whether learners have adapted to the new thinking styles, and whether the cohort of technical knowledge workers can manifest the corresponding behavioural preferences in technology management practice. 6. Conclusion Further research into these two areas is required — that is, the relationship between thinking styles and organisational intelligence/learning in the one instance; and in the second instance, assessment of new thinking styles adoption rate for technically oriented knowledge workers enrolled in management development curricula. The study discussed in this paper is ongoing as more respondents groups are included in the survey in a bid to approach a probabilistic sample population so that the results may be generalisable in the future.

A lot of achievements in medical science stem from this "magic pill" mentality. You treat symptoms with pills, surgery, or some kind of technique aimed to cure that one thing (despite the many side effects) in a reductionist approach. Sometimes, pills and surgery are inevitable, but the best (and smart) thing to do is to go back to the basics and try to avoid needing pills and surgery in the first place.
In order to get away from reductionist approach, you do the opposite and take on a holistic approach. This means you see your health as a whole system. This means that the "magic pill" can only do so much for you, and that you best start changing other bad habits that caused the illness to begin with. Why? because your health is a system that does not have one specific solution. Depression may be signs of cancer down the line (study link below links depression with inflammation), and also heart disease. So with a holistic approach, you see depression as steming from that which causes inflammation, which according to the second study linked below, connects inflammation with diet.

I told you he had Dostoevsky eyes. But for his crime, Washington's Alex Ovechkin paid his punishment. His first-period game misconduct, however, was no match for the Blackhawks' game misconduct.
I told you yesterday the Hawks had a mental bruise from which they might struggle for a while to recover. I was premature. Their piss-poor attitude at crunch time is now on injured reserve and upgraded to possibly a season-ending blow to their ego.
Make that a serious groin pull, not a mental bruise. This was a weekend when the Blackhawks were kicked in the balls and showed they couldn't get it up when required. Time to see if they have the gonads to recover or if everyone needs to start medicating on Viagra.
If I were them, I'd give back the one point earned. They don't deserve it.
For two straight days, the Hawks were third-period disasters. Difference was, they brought a 3-0 lead against Washington into Sunday's debacle.
Here's the similarity, just as the Flyers scored three in the third Saturday in Philadelphia to win 3-2 with 2 seconds left in regulation, the Capitals scored three in the third Sunday at the United Center to tie 3-3 and win 4-3 in overtime on Nicklas Backstrom's goal.
Defenseman Brent Seabrook overcommitted to his right as Backstrom moved in the opposite direction and headed toward the goal. He beat Antti Niemi between the legs, a different attack than Backstrom made to pull the Caps within 3-2 by beating Dave Bolland's defense to punch the puck by Niemi for the all-important momentum changer in the third period.
Here's also the similarity between the Flyers and the Capitals. When the Hawks thought the games were won, they didn't finish. How do you think that's going to work in the postseason?

Last winter several faculty from The Little Schools in Hillsborough and Duke visited The Duke School in Durham, NC for intensive training in the project-based learning (PBL). The lessons learned at the "Deeper Dive" sessions were soon applied to classrooms in both Little School campuses. As the lead teacher in a pre-k class I worked with my co-teachers to integrate this new approach into a curriculum philosophy that already included Reggio influences. By March we began our PBL journey in earnest when we started canvasing our students for topics they would be interested in pursuing formally. PBL demands that topics of study must be real-world and concrete. We jettisoned proposals that included dinosaurs and supernatural creatures. Making the cut and eventually becoming the class topic was "house." Over the next several months we worked together to generate research questions, read books about the topic, learn about carpentry, participate with experts, draw and build models, and learn as much as we could through research and experiences.
The PBL approach is originally rooted in the educational writings of John Dewey. More recently, researchers Lilian Katz and Sylvia Chard have outlined PBL's tenets and promoted their use. As our investigation into houses began loosing some of its momentum, we arranged for an exposition of all the work we had amassed until that point. Also called the "Culmination Day," This event brings parents, other students, and teachers together to demonstrate their appreciation for student work. In the Otter room we held our Culmination Day on May 5th and decided to document the experience with a small flip camera.
The video below uses the footage gathered on that day:

Rebel Against Cancer
BoD – Books on Demand, 2012 - 32 pages
Are there methods to heal cancer which conventional medicine is keeping from us? Klaus Maar was once an orthodox medical practitioner, surgeon and head of a large university hospital. After many years, during which he almost despaired at the failures of conventional cancer therapies, he took matters into his own hands, working over the long term to develop a "biological intensive therapy." At his outpatients' oncology clinic in D sseldorf he has been able to achieve excellent successes with the therapy, which has been the subject of many reports in the press and on TV. Thousands of patients from many countries - even from the USA and New Zealand - have reported the success of his, to date, unique therapy. It bundles biological healing powers which are able to simultaneously destroy cancer cells whilst also consolidating the body's own defences. No cancer is as often incorrectly treated as prostate cancer This book views itself as an addition to the first book, "Rebel against cancer" [Rebell gegen den Krebs], which explained fundamental principles, going into its conclusions in more detail. Incorrect diagnoses; thousands of unnecessary operations; impotence; agonising chemotherapies and marital problems - the consequences of incorrect or unnecessary treatment have ramifications of which only a few people are aware. In this book the admired, much-discussed author continues his campaign to enlighten his patients, calling things by their true names. Many facts which are otherwise concealed are brought to light. This book is the first one - worldwide - explaining biological complementary methods in the treatment of all tumours, especially prostatic carcinoma.

Hi, guys! I'm sorry I haven't posted anything for a couple of days, but now I've got something for you :)
I was going to draw a woman (as allways)... It was not supposed to be anyone from real life, but somehow - could it be because of the lips? - I feel like this face looks a bit like Angelina Jolie. And I know it's not looking too much alike, but don't you see some kind of similarity?
Well, the sad thing is, the more I look at it, it's not similar at all...

Many of you know from watching the videos, I eat Kale almost everyday. It's probably my favorite vegetable of all times. When it comes to fruits and veggies, have you heard, "the richer the color - the higher the nutritional value"? Well, that certainly holds true for Kale. Kale is a cruciferous vegetable that can be considered a super food that contains antioxidant and anti-inflammatory nutrients, macronutrients (the average U.S. adult is currently deficient in), and cancer-preventive nutrients.
For a few decades now, we've known that many phytonutrients work as antioxidants disarming free radicals before they can cause damage to DNA, cell membranes and fat-containing molecules such as cholesterol. New research is now revealing the phytonutrients in cruciferous vegetables, such as kale, work on a way deeper level. They actually signal our genes to increase production of enzymes involved in detoxification, (which eliminates harmful compounds). The phytonutrients initiate an intricate dance in which gene response elements direct the steps of dozens of detoxification enzyme partners, each performing their own protective role in perfect harmony with the other dancers. As a result our cells' ability to disarm and clear free radicals and toxins, is optimized. Nice, huh? I've always said life is better when I'm dancing. Now that has a deeper meaning for me. Who'd a thunk eating Kale would make your insides dance? And if that's not enough to convince you to eat Kale … Here's a few studies to wrap your head around.
At the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle, WA, a study of over 1,200 men was conducted. Those eating 28 servings of vegetables a week had a 35% lower risk of prostate cancer, but those consuming just 3 or more servings of cruciferous vegetables each week had a 44% lower risk of prostate cancer.
In the Netherlands Cohort Study on Diet and Cancer, data was collected on over 100,000 people for more than 6 years. Those eating the most vegetables benefited with a 25% lower risk of colorectal cancers, but those eating the most crucifers did almost twice as well with a 49% drop in their colorectal cancer risk.
In Singapore, air pollution levels are often high, putting stress on the detoxification capacity of residents' lungs. A study of Chinese women in Singapore found that non-smokers, eating cruciferous vegetables lowered risk of lung cancer by 30%. In smokers, regular cruciferous vegetable consumption reduced lung cancer risk by 69%!
And ladies that don't smoke and have good digestion don't think you're exempt, for it goes beyond prostate, colon and Lung cancer. Eating a diet high in cruciferous vegetables appears to lessen the occurrence of a wide variety of cancers, also including breast and ovarian cancers.
Free radical damage doesn't just lead to cancer. Those little tyrants can damage the body in many other ways including painful inflammatory conditions, such as asthma, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
So for our purposes of the Kale Challenge, we are going to use the guidelines to lower your risk of cancer … you need only 3 to 5 servings of cruciferous vegetables per week. (1 serving = 1 cup). So I challenge you to eat Kale 5 days a week for at least one month and see how you feel. If it's working for you – perhaps you'll keep it up ☺
Here is my favorite recipe and some variations.
Olive oil
Braggs Liquid Amino Acids to taste
1. Wash, pull leaves off stems and steam Kale leaves (2 minutes or
less- you want to retain the nutrients) (save stems for juicing if you have a
2. Spray on braggs (to taste – maybe a dozen pumps)
3. Generously douse with Olive Oil
4. Squeeze lemon (to taste-maybe ½ a lemon)
Above is the basic recipe and sometimes I eat it just like that. Below are variations and things you can add to switch it up or make it a more complete meal.
1. Add red, yellow or orange bell peppers on the bottom of the steamer so you're steaming them while you're steaming the kale.
2. Pine Nuts or Walnuts
3. Quinoa
5. Earthy Rice
6. Tempeh
7. Dried Fruit
8. Hard boiled eggs
9. Avocado
10. Water Chestnuts
11. Add kale to a sandwich instead of lettuce
12. Add Kale to soup a few minutes before serving

Having problems with previous/next page
Hi, I was looking round my site today making sure everything was up ok and when I went to click on the "next" page as the current page had reached the maximum post I had allowed (10) it come up with "404 Error".
I think the error is that the page thinks its the 1st page which is why the page only shows a "next" button, when it is actually the last page so it should say "previous".
So does anyone know what I have to do to set it right. I am using the Mystique theme if that makes a difference.
My site is http://www.allthatzgaming.com/home
if you scroll down to the bottom you will see the "next" button.
