Man of Science, Man of God Gregor Mendel - Discovering the Gene - for His 150thanniversary

Man of Science, Man of God Gregor Mendel - Discovering the Gene - for His 150thanniversary

By the mid 19th Century biologists had a big problem to solve - how does heredity work? Charles Darwin (1809-1882) and his cousin Francis Galton (1822-1911) wanted to know because their famous books, The Origin of Species by Natural Selection and Hereditary Genius, only made sense if they understood the basis of inheritance. A lone genius, Gregor Mendel (1822-1884), worked on the inherited of features in hybrids of the edible pea for 8 years, presenting a correct solution in 1865. He was a Catholic monk, priest and later Abbot in the Augustinian Monastery of Brunn, near Vienna. He was able to define the 'gene' and to reveal some of its fundamental properties. It is extraordinary that the talented British team involved in this research, including Charles Darwin, Francis Galton, George Romanes and Karl Pearson all failed to arrive at the truth and this book attempts to explain why.

David Warner: Daring To Be Different – Unveiling cricket's greatest entertainer! The first Australian cricketer to play 100 internationals across all three levels (Tests, ODIs and T20s), David Warner is a champion of his generation; fabulous but flawed. No Australian opener in history has surpassed his rapid-fire strike rate in excess of 70 runs per 100 balls. Only one other has surpassed his aggregate of 45 centuries across all levels. Feisty, flamboyant, verbose and villainous, few have been as entertaining or as polarising as the great David Warner.

We found it easier to do [innovate and change the game] based on the methodology, because the leadership itself had crafted the new strategy and the new business concept." -- CHONG SIAK CHING, CEO, Ascendas"All the knowledge you need [to create a strategy] resides in the head of your own people, and all you need is a process to extract that and look at it differently.

This is all common sense stuff but seeing it in print reminds us just what we need to do if we want to be a success in business or in our workplace. This book gets my vote. M. S. I bought a hardcopy back in 2009 and I thought it expensive at the time ( 19.99) but I have used it as a workbook and a reference book and have found it invaluable in so many ways and it has made me think about my life's path. Great wee book, thank you. I.J. This is a book that will make you look at yourself, you WILL become a better employee, a better person, and a happier and more successful person. A.L. The importance of being positive has certainly been highlighted by the author. He has hit the nail on the head on this subject, a very informative and inspirational read. B.C. Loved the 'Ideal Staff' page, wish my staff had half of those attributes however it has inspired me to introduce more focused training and have set the 'Ideal Staff' menu as our company Benchmark.. Grateful employer. I bought a copy of the original book and it has helped me immensely in my work environment, I refer back to it many times as a workbook and I would recommend it to anyone. G.R. We have a copy of this book in our school library and it has been referred to quite a few times in career discussions, common sense approach that all can understand and if practised, will go a long way in helping young people on the first step to employment. S.F. P. Outstanding content, easy reading, inspirational, plain English. D. B.

The Great Troubled Families Fraud: State Lies & Failed Policies

The Great Troubled Families Fraud: State Lies & Failed Policies

David P. Gregg

This book records the latest chapter in the long history of state denigration of the 'undeserving poor' in the British underclass.In 2011, following the police killing of a black Londoner with alleged gang associations, riots broke out in several cities.The common threads in the rioters were poverty and minority ethnic protests against police prejudice.The government claimed that the real issue was gangs although only 13% of rioters had gang links.They further claimed that gangs arose because of bad parenting.On this basis they launched the Troubled Families Programme which would reprocess 120,000 of these families and turn them into model citizens.Prime Minister David Cameron made these claims in the media: 'These families are the source of a large proportion of the problems in society.Drug addiction.Alcohol abuse.Crime.A cult of irresponsibility that cascades through the generations.' In fact 97% of the families had never received drug treatment;88% were not alcohol dependent;90% were not involved in crime;94% had no gang links.However the families were very poor, socially inadequate and had high levels of illness.75% had a member with a limiting, long standing illness or disability; 52% had at least one child with a statement of special educational needs or other special needs. Unemployment was at 74% mainly because of health issues.45% of adults had a mental health problem. These were families in trouble; not families causing trouble.Their real 'crime' was that they cost the state too much money.The official story was that the TF Programme would save tax payers 9 billion per annum by 'turning around' these families using 'assertive intervention' and 'tough sanctions'.40% of the families were indeed sanctioned.Very few of the families received medical treatment for their many health problems.By 2015 after the 3 year programme, it was claimed that 99% of the families had been successfully re-programmed and that 1.2 billion per annum had been saved. In 2016 the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee forced the release of the National Evaluation Study of the TFP which had been suppressed for over a year.It showed that instead of a 99% 'turn around' the TFP had made zero impact on family crime, antisocial behaviour, school problems, health, well being, employment, family stability or benefit claiming.A study of local authority results showed a net saving of 5% of the total family cost BUT this could not be attributed to the TFP itself. The real 'cost saving' was probably zero.So we have a 99% family 'turn around' but at least 95% of family cost remains How is this possible?The author shows how the local authorities, encouraged by the UK department for communities and local government, changed success criteria and manipulated data to get the result the government wanted. The TFP cost the British tax payer 448 million from 2012 to 2015. The money vanished into cash strapped local authorities.The TFP achieved nothing except the harassment of vulnerable families who needed but did not get support for chronic health problems.Despite criticism of the TFP the PAC approved its continuation at a further cost of over 900 million to 2020. It was too embarrassing to cancel it and admit a major policy failure which had cross-party support. The riots and the TFP story were also used to justify a general attack on UK welfare benefits with major cuts and a blitz of sanctions.The result has been an explosion in Food Banks and the suicides of desperate people denied benefits, perhaps 840 each year.The author notes that the Nazis killed their own disabled 'useless mouths' through the 1930s and 1940s, perhaps 250,000 in all, simply because of their high cost to the state.They did not find it necessary to denigrate and blame their 'unfortunates'.In Britain today, we do.
