This means taking a picture of how materials and information move through a value stream. Next, the team creates a map of how things will be in the future. This means a picture of how things and information should move through the process to create value.Repeating this many times is the easiest and most effective way to help yourself and your coworkers learn to recognize what is important.Value-stream mapping is often used in lean manufacturing. However, people in charge of businesses in any field can find it useful.

The time is the early 1970's and the country is South Africa. John Matlala, a young black man aged nineteen, leaves the citrus farm where he has spent his entire life and sets out to seek his fortune in a country where the government is determined to stifle the development of its black citizens. His journey to the city of Johannesburg is fraught with the fear of arrest for contravening the racial laws of the time and the distrust of the white population that dominate his people. By the time he reaches Johannesburg he has learnt to distrust all his fellow men, although he still retains the naivety that his farm life instilled in him. John settles in the Johannesburg suburb of Hillbrow where he meets Jimson, a streetwise petty criminal who persuades him to join him in his criminal endeavours. The two men proceed to steal and trick people out of their possessions using non-violent means but eventually violence becomes a necessity. Herman Malan is a wealthy white South African who has inherited his father's engineering business, but prefers the good life and cares little for business affairs. One of Herman's responsibilities is to collect the factory worker's wages on a Friday afternoon. John and Jimson learn about Herman's routine and set out to rob him. This leads to a sequence of events that include violent death, rape in a men's hostel in the black city of Soweto, the love that develops between John and a young Sowetan girl Susan, John's flight from Soweto and a strange coincidence that ultimately threatens the lives of Herman's parents and John. Woven into the tale are the ever-present shameful and disgraceful discriminatory laws of apartheid.

A topologia do Ego foi estudada por Sigmund Freud, C. G. Jung, Adler, Klein e muitos outros com diferentes enfoques; todavia, Freud e Adler conheceram somente alguns aspectos e fenômenos desse importante arquétipo - o Ego - que cria e revitaliza outros importantes arquétipos na natureza da psique. Através da Psicologia Esotérica conheceremos os espaços-tempos e as dimensões compactas em que os processos e fenômenos psíquicos acontecem no sistema da topologia do Ego. O termo topologia é usado para identificar uma área da matemática que estuda a continuidade e outros conceitos originados a partir dessa. Trata-se de uma especialização relacionada com as propriedades e as características que possuem os corpos geométricos e que se mantêm inalterados graças a mudanças contínuas, independentemente do seu tamanho ou do seu aspecto. É preciso destacar que as funções contínuas da matemática são aquelas que, nos pontos próximos do domínio, experimentam pequenas variações nos valores. A nível gráfico, estas funções tendem a estar em condições de se desenharem sem necessidade de levantar o lápis do papel. A topologia estuda as figuras geométricas mais simples como círculos, espaços de fase, cilindros, fractais, esferas, anéis etc. Por analogia, é preciso ter alguma ideia da realidade psicológica, antropológica e espiritual do Ego. Quando compreendemos e interpretamos as coisas que existem nessas regiões ou dimensões compactas, é possível conhecer todo o conteúdo psíquico e mental existente na natureza da psique do sujeito; contudo, é quando descobrimos a verdadeira natureza das coisas, pois, pela Razão saberemos qual é a origem do Ego e de tudo que aí está na natureza da psique.

Anulka Lorenzini is head of the Wealth Management Division at Bankhaus Finsler, a private bank in Zurich. Her clients represent, in part, a world of hidden, ill-gotten money. Her secret contempt for that dark underbelly of the banking business trumps her attempts to remain what she is to the outside world, a well-respected banker. She falls hard for Giovanni Poggio, who, using her deeply-anchored contempt, convinces her to facilitate the embezzlement of 14.5 million Euros at her bank. His plan: A false client will periodically withdraw cash from a real client's account. Sixty percent of the money taken will be hers. Months later, seeing the inherent brittleness of her decision, she stops everything. While funds totaling 13.3 million Euros have already been withdrawn, her Italian partners want their remaining share, murdering her new lover to increase the pressure. Struggling to end her nightmare, Anulka decides to initiate a second round of embezzlement. Its success depends upon her involving Felix Hofmaier, a Frankfurt management consultant facing possible criminal charges--and financial ruin--for defrauding the bank of one of his clients. Anulka proposes a payment plan to her Italian partners. They in turn increase their demands, threatening to kill her if she doesn't perform. Incensed by their callousness and greed, she gives her dark side full rein, plunging herself into a deadly dance of betrayal, deceit, and retribution.

The Church of the Classical Age: The Great Century of Souls is the sixth installment in Henri Daniel-Rops' grand History of the Church of Christ. This volume includes the first three chapters of that work, studying the heroic St. Vincent de Paul, whose charitable institutions and foundations for priests and religious opened wide the century's doors to Christ; the "age of spiritual grandeur" (1600-1660), with its extensive litany of saints and immense outpouring of spirituality, the flourishing of the missions and of religious orders for women dedicated to charitable and educational work, and the sustained creativity of Christian art and music; and then the profound crises that beset Christian Europe-the Thirty Years War; the scandal of Christian disunity; the Treaties of Westphalia; the papacy versus rising absolutism-and the question they posed: Would this great century end in glory or ignominy?The strange phrase, "Great Century of Souls," captures perfectly the spirit of that epoch of saints and sinners. Vividly detailed and unfailingly interesting, The Church of the Classical Age: The Great Century of Souls is the account par excellence of an age in which the Faith was the celebrated norm and the human soul the universally accepted seat of all ambition, passion, and achievement.
