Описание: This supercharged new edition of The New Rules of Lifting features all-new workouts to build maximum muscle in both men and women. Lou Schuler and Alwyn Cosgrove's The New Rules of Lifting, The New Rules of Lifting for Women, and The New Rules of Lifting for Abs have revolutionized how people lift weights. The New Rules of Lifting Supercharged is a total reboot of the weightlifting workout book that launched the series in 2006, packing even more power on every page. Featuring ten completely new workouts for both women and men, Supercharged emphasizes four major movements that do the most to change the way your body looks, feels, and performs: squat, deadlift, push, and pull. In addition, Cosgrove's updated total-body workout program improves core strength, mobility, flexibility, balance, endurance, and athleticism . . . all in just three hours a week of exercise. Another big change from the original New Rules of Lifting is a self-customized workout system. Readers can choose their own exercises from a menu for each movement category, allowing beginner and advanced lifters to get tremendous results from the same basic plan. Each workout ends with a "finisher"--five to ten minutes of fun but high-effort drills such as complexes, intervals, and density training, with the choice of the reader's favorite exercises. The ultimate guide to total-body strengthening, this supercharged edition of The New Rules of Lifting will lift readers to stratospheric results.

Описание: Walter the Younger is completely insecure, overweight, somewhat myopic, awkward, introspective, and intellectually troubled; an evolving amorphous blob, a forever nerd, unconditionally loved by delusional parents, simply trying to survive adolescence and move on. His story is told in small slices, describing events both real and not so real, but real enough to be overthought and overanalyzed by Walter`s overactive psyche. Leaps into the future and past detail, quixotic adventures at college, on the golf course with his dad, at home with his not quite "All-American" family, and becoming a champion junior bowler. Walter is often thrust into the limelight in spite of trying to hide in the shadows. Just small scraps of time, these Walter slices are frequently interrupted by non-sequiturs, social diatribes, rants, discussion of scientific and otherworldly topics, glimpses into the multiverse, and other contrivances; simply digressions from a baseball story about Little League, and the craziness that ensued following the first time Walter took a swing at an incoming baseball. The Walter Integral, comprised of these slices and digressions, paints a not quite complete picture of a "not quite complete" Walter.
This book is about the assessment of people in the workplace and examines what assessment is and the various forms it takes and how these principles and practices can be applied to improve job satisfaction, productivity and the fairness with which organisational objectives are achieved.
Section l examines some of the background and social issues that are shaping the assessment enterprise and the view that management in general and psychological assessment is part of the «neo-liberal assault on the world and an expression of colonial hegemony». Psychological assessment techniques and methods are increasingly being seen by some as biased against certain groups. The nature of measurement and assessment are evaluated and the basic principles of drawing up a psychological measuring instrument, as well as the history of assessment in the workplace, are outlined.
Section II examines basic psychometric theory, including how assessment test scores are interpreted, and combined to yield a single pass/fail, accept/reject or go/no go decision. The issues of reliability (or consistency) and those of validity, i.e., the extent to which a measure measures what it claims to measure, are examined. In Chapter 7, the concepts of fairness and equity are outlined, especially gender and cultural equity that are so important in many parts of the world today.
Section III examines how assessment principles are applied in organizations (Chapter 8) and with respect to Intelligence (Chapter 9), Personality (Chapter 10), Competencies (Chapter 11), Honesty and Integrity (Chapter 12), Interviewing (Chapter 13) and Assessment Centres (Chapter 14). The final section pulls all the threads together and asks What next?

Before the Rebellion of Prince Charles in 1745, each Highland clan owned its own land. No one else, including the Government in Edinburgh, had the power to deprive them of it. (Travellers saw that in the mountains every crag was a new fortress for men defending their own country.) But the Highland Jacobite rebels having been defeated at Culloden and scattered, and the Lowland Government in Edinburgh now being much stronger since the Union with England in 1707, the British authorities decided to incorporate the Highlands into Great Britain in fact, as well as in theory. The anglophone legal system was successfully imposed, and the clan chiefs were made into landlords, owning all the land which had once belonged to their clans. Scots law now gave each chief-landlord the right (for any reason or no reason) to turn his entire clan out of their homes and farms, and keep the whole clan land as his private back garden, if he wanted. So when the new landlords realized that big grazing farms, for cattle or sheep, would make a lot of money, the clearances started. Well-to-do Highlanders, Lowlanders, even a few Englishmen, rented the clan lands; the chiefs evicted their folk; and the chief/landlord found his income shooting up over the years to five times or fifteen times what it had been (and there was no income tax!). Many of the evicted Highlanders were given an acre or two of worthless, barren land, and told to make it fertile: and when by donkey-work the crofters were able to grow a few potatoes, they had to pay rent for the value they themselves had created. Others - either immediately or after years of rack-rented drudgery on the croft - went to the Lowland factories, or abandoned Scotland entirely for arduous pioneering lives in North America (those who survived the journey).
The Earls of Sutherland were chiefs of the Sutherland clan, Murrays, MacKays, Sutherlands and others. Adam Gordon married a daughter of the Earl of Sutherland about 1500, and managed to cheat the rest of the family out of their land-charters. After that the Earls of Sutherland were Gordons. The 18th earl died in 1766 leaving a year-old daughter, Elizabeth Gordon, to succeed him. She inherited nearly two-thirds of the county of Sutherland, over 1250 square miles, an estate about the size of Gloucestershire. The long wars with France between 1793 and 1815 meant there was a desperate need of soldiers, such as the Sutherland small tenants could provide: but (despite being married to one of the richest men in England, the Marquis of Stafford) she wanted the much higher rents which big sheep farms would supply. (You can never have too much money.) She was indifferent to the fate of the small tenants - "a good many of them", would "inevitably be tossed out", she wrote; they would be "driven from their present dwellings by the sheep farms". She cleared her estate between 1807 and 1821, greatly increasing her rents. She and her husband became the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland.
The second greatest Sutherland landowner was Lord Reay, the chief of the Reay MacKay clan. Reay cleared his estate even before Elizabeth Gordon, beginning about 1800. (Thirteen smaller landlords owned the rest of the county, and rivalled the countess and Lord Reay with their own clearances.) Reay belonged to a London firm which provided finance to slave-traders, and spent most of his time in gambling dens and brothels. Having wasted vast amounts of money, he sold his estate to the Sutherlands in 1830, and bought a slave plantation in the West Indies. When the slaves were freed in 1833, like the other slave-owners he was compensated. (The slaves weren't.)
