In a city built for sin, the Redemption Club is a secret society that exists to fulfill a person's darkest desires-including murder games-for a price.Raised off the grid by an anti-government group, Skye Hamilton puts her resourcefulness and survival training to good use taking the dangerous tasks nobody else wants. When a job searching for a runaway teen brings Redemption Club members gunning for her, putting those she cares about in danger, she'll risk everything to fight the enemy. Including her heart.Jared Bennigan, Las Vegas bodyguard to the elite, accepted his latest job hoping it would lead to his missing sister. All evidence points to his client as the last person to have seen her, but he's not the only one looking for a woman who disappeared. Skye's enticing blue eyes contradict her tough, distrusting exterior, revealing an intriguing combination of vulnerability and intelligence. But those eyes are watching his client-through her rifle's scope. To find both missing women, Jared will need to convince Skye-who plays a wicked game of hard-to-get-to be his partner. And with the Redemption Club intent on making Skye the prey in a human hunting expedition, her skills, and her trust in Jared, will be put to the test. It's the ultimate game of survival of the fittest. But who will win?93,000 words

In den letzten Jahren und Jahrzehnten ist die Bedeutung der digitalen Welt immer gr er geworden. Kaum ein Mensch kommt noch ohne vernetzte und digitale Inhalte aus, die Ver nderung wird zunehmend rasanter, neue Produkte und M glichkeiten werden immer schneller vorgestellt. Einige Autoren vergleichen die Relevanz dieser Entwicklung sogar mit der Erfindung des Buchdrucks. Hierdurch bedingt entstehen in verschiedenen Bereichen der Wirtschaft neue Herausforderungen und M glichkeiten. Es ist ebenso zu erkennen, dass die Digitalisierung auch im Finanzsektor angekommen ist, sich weiter verbreitet und damit auch das klassische Retail Banking, also das Gesch ft mit einer Vielzahl von privaten Kunden, deutlich ver ndert. W hrend Banken dabei in den 1970er Jahren noch durch hohe Ertr ge, wachsende Bilanzsummen und verh ltnism ig geringe Eigenkapitalkosten "goldene Zeiten" erfahren haben, sind heute nachhaltige Ver nderungen und eine Neuorganisation des Retail Bankings unabdingbar.

Body, Self, and Society

Anne E. Becker

University of Pennsylvania Press
1995
pokkari
Anne E. Becker examines the cultural context of the embodied self through her ethnography of bodily aesthetics, food exchange, care, and social relationships in Fiji. She contrasts the cultivation of the body/self in Fijian and American society, arguing that the motivation of Americans to work on their bodies' shapes as a personal endeavor is permitted by their notion that the self is individuated and autonomous. On the other hand, because Fijians concern themselves with the cultivation of social relationships largely expressed through nurturing and food exchange, there is a vested interest in cultivating others' bodies rather than one's own.

Gennem de seneste årtier har kommunikationsmedarbejdere og sprogkonsulenter gjort en stor indsats for at forbedre sprog og tekster i en lang række organisationer. Alligevel har de færreste organisationer fået sat sprogarbejdet i system, og der findes stadig masser af eksempler på uheldige tekster der undergraver organisationernes troværdighed, får salget til at dale og kunderne til at ringe. I denne bog får du masser af tips og tricks til at professionalisere sprogarbejdet. Bogen giver indsigt i de praktiske og teoretiske overvejelser der skal til for at gennemføre sproglige forandringer i både private og offentlige organisationer. Du får konkrete råd til hvordan du analyserer kommunikationskulturen og teksterne, hvordan du undersøger modtagernes opfattelse af teksterne, og hvordan du knytter sprogarbejdets målsætninger til forretningen. Du får også eksempler på hvordan organisationer har løst de forskellige udfordringer der ofte er forbundet med arbejdet: Hvordan motiverer du ledere og medarbejdere, hvilke sproglige anbefalinger passer til situationen, og hvordan måler du effekten af arbejdet? Godt sprog i organisationer er en grundbog i sprogarbejde for sproglige rådgivere og kommunikationsmedarbejdere og for studerende der læser fx kommunikation, dansk, journalistik, retorik eller sproglig rådgivning.
