pyramid model for most businesses. Many large corporations went from as many as sixteen layers of management down to four or five. But without these translation layers, the surviving managers have been called upon to fill the communications or analysis vacuum and do the translations themselves—sometimes in functional areas of the business they knew little or nothing about. The end result is that today’s sales managers spend less time improving the selling skills of their salespeople or becoming personally

For this reason, and prior to 1997, three successive potentials, constituting the waveforms, were applied to the detection cell in order to clean the electrode surface and thus keep its maximum oxidative capacity: E1 = + 0,05 volt: saccharide oxidation and detection, E2 = + 0,60 volt: electrode cleaning (creation of a gold oxide surface), E3 = - 0,80 volt: electrode reconditioning (restoring

The need for strategic thinking Any planning that is formulated in a strategic vacuum or based on unsound strategic thinking invariably comes unstuck. Whether the decision is to buy or sell a business or to expand into new activities, while accepting that it is impossible to predict the future, it can be very useful to consider the

new writing device, the wax tablet. It consisted of a simple wooden frame filled with a layer of wax. Letters were scratched into the wax with a new kind of stylus that had, in addition to the sharpened writing tip, a blunt end for scraping the wax clean. Because words could be erased easily from the tablets, students and other writers were able to use them over and over again, making them far more economical than scrolls. Though not a very sophisticated tool, the wax tablet played a major role

Then the time will come when you will be solitary, left without sympathy; but this seeming vacuum is already filled with divine Love. When this hour of development comes, even if you cling to a sense of personal joys, spiritual Love will force you to accept what best promotes your growth. Friends will betray and enemies will slander, until the

all the sordid details outside the UK court’s jurisdiction? To prove my point, I decided to refer to a particularly juicy story that hadn’t appeared in the UK press because of an injunction but had been widely reported overseas: that a particular clean-cut British celebrity was having an affair. To prove my point, I first wrote a feature for The Friday Thing which didn’t mention the name of the celebrity explicitly but did link to various foreign sites where it was revealed. I then boasted in the

The models that companies and investors adopt are, in other words, not developed in a vacuum. They are instead compromises shaped by a number of constraints — resources, funding options, bargaining power and the inescapable reality that it takes US$1–2 billion and upwards of a decade for a biotech company to become a mature, financially sustainable

Even granting Barth a modicum of rhetorical license for exaggeration, however, one is forced to ask, amid such hermetically sealed vacuums of self-interested noncommunication, just whom the Baktaman think they are keeping their secrets from. After all that has been written about the conjectural sources of Castaneda's writings, all that one can do is extend to them the same professional
