Many books have been written with respect to either time management, quality control/assurance, cost control or the likes. However, if you apply them in isolation, you may compromise either time, quality or cost. As a result, many people just accept the so called balance between time, quality and cost.To the writer, that balance is not good enough. So for the first time, a book is written with the view to acquire the three important values in totality and achieve excellence with the introduction of the terms zero time, zero mistake, zero cost and a problem solving principle.Chapter 1 will explain the philosophies behind the problem solving principle uphold by this book.Chapter 2 will illustrate the ingredients of this problem solving principle i.e. the formulas such as "the next definite step","discontinue the work", "what we want ultimately", etc. which were derived from the philosophies explained in Chapter 1.Chapter 3 will explain how the formulas stated in Chapter 2 were applied in piece meal basis to manage fast track projects by some reputable companies in the world.Chapter 4 will illustrate how the formulas are integrated to form a simple but yet effective and efficient problem solving principle.The ways on how this problem solving principle can be applied to solve simple to complicated problems are explained in Chapter 5This problem solving principle is also flexible such that you can integrate it with your way of thinking to manage time, quality and cost the way you want.

The Intrepid Fox is the story of a Polish immigrant who carved a successful farm out of the raw wilderness that was Northern Alberta in the early days of the last century. The author writes of the day-to-day events in the lives of her parents, John and Mary Liss and their seven children, struggling for survival on an isolated homestead.Her parents married after having seen each other only two times. They began married life in a 12' x 12' log cabin , shared with their father-in-law. And it was in that tiny cabin that their first child was born. Just when life looked a little promising, calamity struck. A fire completely destroyed their newly built home. Then in 1929, the depression brought financial hardships and the threat of land seizure for non-payment of taxes.John Liss was a man of high moral principles and strong feelings of social justice. He fought for farmer's rights against the big grain companies, packing concerns and dairy cartels. To this day, farmers benefit from cooperatives he helped organize. Businesses called John a trouble maker and a Bolshevik, and threatened to tar and feather him. But this strong willed intrepid man never waived in his beliefs. The author writes of daily life without phones, electricity or running water. She tells of the family's never ending farm chores, of food preparation and of the constant fear of farm accidents and illnesses where medical care was non-existent. She describes the bitter cold of the long winters, the children's 3¿ mile trek through snow to their little one-room schoolhouse and of the welcome sight of Mother waiting for them in the warm kitchen on their return.There was never enough money on the farm and the children grew up learning to make-do and to improvise. A 5 cent Rose Marie chocolate bar cut into nine pieces was a rare treat. The sound of an airplane flying overhead mesmerized the family. When a moving picture show came to the little village of Sangudo, the children watched in wonder at this remarkable innovation. Life's horizons were limited. The poor conditions of the roads and the undependability of the Model A Ford made for uncertain travel. Being back home by milking time ruled the family's life. Survival depended on each child doing his chore and each one realized the importance of his task.John Liss was a strict disciplinarian demanding instant obedience from his off-spring. Yet Helen writes with humor of her two older brothers' exploits and antics that Dad never knew about. The beer making, the wine snitching, the cigarette smuggling trip into the United States have become part of the family's lore.When the author's father goes off to war in 1941, Mary Liss is left in charge of a 480 acre farm and seven children to raise. The family sorrows over the devastating drowning death of a brother at 24 years of age. Their agony is compounded in 1946 by the paralyzing accident of the oldest son.After 65 years of dedicated toil and commitment, the Dominion of Canada recognized the accomplishments of John and Mary Liss with the placing of an historic cairn on their farm. Both pioneers were further rewarded by their community for their many achievements and for the betterment of the area's rural life. And their final recognition is found in this delightful and sensitive telling of their saga, which will bring insight and enjoyment to the reader.

It's late at night. Nothing really good on TV. Perhaps a book. Something different. What to read? Nothing with zillions of footnotes. Nothing with "redeeming social value". I definitely don't want any more work-related articles. And I'm tired of those "cutesy" mysteries. What's left?HALE MEN OF FORDHAM: HAIL! is a recapturing of one's college years. A return to the years of 1960-1964.in New York City and the world before the crushing full impact and embarrassment called "Vietnam". We had sports in school. We studied to be granted a degree. We worried about the future. College was really not different from today's college environment. Or was it? "How about November 22, 1963?" It was more than just my birthday!

Victims of brutal crimes, murder, rape, assault, severe spousal abuse, go each week into Texas prisons to meet with inmates who perpetrated such crimes against others. These unlikely communicants share their stories with one another and work through a biblical healing process. After twelve weeks, the victims have gained a measure of healing, and the inmates change, some to a modestly different view of life but many into new and different human beings who are much less likely to return to prison than other inmates. Amazingly, people in both groups go beyond their mistrust and fear to establish a bond of peace and love.These victims and inmates are brought together by the Bridges to Life restorative justice program, founded in 1998 to connect communities to prisons in an effort to reduce recidivism and effect a consequent reduction in crime. This program generates lessons that will bring peace to people who have hurt one another and need to make amends as well as inmates who are not able to participate in the actual experience. Restoring Peace: Using Lessons from Prison to Mend Broken Relationships shares this healing message. This unique book uses stories from the Bible, victims, and inmates to present a faith based journey of peace involving responsibility accountability, confession, repentance, forgiveness, reconciliation, and restitution. It speaks in simple, clear language, and each chapter ends with a "Personal Application" section comprised of a series of probing questions that will help readers apply the lessons from prison to their own lives.

Legacy is about loss of inheritance and what we can do to reclaim it. The introduction summarizes the psychological tyranny inflicted on Africans and their descendants over the course of enslavement and Jim Crow. Legacy brings the past into the present with the story of Jeff Carter, a Black man born during "slavery" who, by 1916, acquired over 800 acres of mineral-rich land in the Middle District of Georgia. In this particular region, a mineral known as "chalk" to the locals, has produced a multi-billion dollar, foreign-owned and operated industry. Kaolin, as it is officially known, is predominately used in the paper and paint industries (National Geographic is about 30% kaolin), but is also used as a filler in ceramics, cosmetics, medicine, rubber, toothpaste, etc. The majority of the mineral-laden land is owned by Black farmers, who have seen very little, if any, of the profits garnered from their land. Ninety-nine (99) year mineral leases and outright theft have kept these farmers from reaping any amount of the wealth. The heirs of Jeff Carter are one such family, who were brutally evicted from their 800 acre estate in 1950. In 1980, after many failed attempts to reclaim their estate, they were solicited by kaolin-industry agents and attorneys who represented the family who stole their land!The heirs of Jeff Carter are not unique in their story of land loss. The quantity of land that Black farmers have lost in the last one-hundred years alone is staggering. One of the most detrimental legacies of enslavement and Jim Crow is the challenge of passing an inheritance on to our children. As a result, subsequent generations have to "reinvent the wheel," because they have neither the business nor the finances to pick up where there ancestors left off.In recent years, a settlement was to be made to the descendants of the Rosewood massacre in Florida, but each alleged descendant was required to prove their ancestry. For this reason, we encourage all people of color to research their family's genealogy. We dedicate an entire chapter to beginning this process.Uncovering our family history is a pivotal step in healing from centuries of psychological, economic and physical rape. If for no other reason, our children should know something about the ancestors they are a legacy of.

I left Canada in 1953 to work for the Red Cross in the Far East for the Canadian Forces in Korea and Japan. After my tour of duty I went to Australia, where I worked and hitchhiked to the Outback. On my way to South Africa I visited the Dutch West Indies, Borneo, Thailand, Singapore, Burma, and India. I spent two months traveling by bus and train in India, three weeks of which were in Kashmir. Once I arrived in Africa I worked in Durban and hitchhiked around South Africa and neighboring countries. I left for England in 1958 and I returned home to Quebec City in the fall of that year.

Vancouver Island pioneer, Percy Dewar, grandson of the legendary distiller in Scotland, was born in Extension, to a coal-mining family. Like the cougars that have exerted a lifelong fascination over him, he may be part of a dying breed on this island. From a young age, he developed a love of nature in general and of animals in particular. He began to live in the woods and hunt cougar for bounty as a teen, and developed a reputation as one of the ablest hunters on the island, although he claims he had success because he had the best hound dogs. He eventually financed his own 7-year study of cougars, living in the woods with them and tagging them so that he could follow their movements. His study proved that cougars are not territorial among many unusual findings, and disputed previous assumptions now debated by scientific researchers.Biologists have consulted Percy for many years; his knowledge of cougars is based on what he has experienced firsthand rather than on what he calls "useless book learning about cougars." After the bounty ended on Vancouver Island in 1958, largely as a result of Percy's study data, he experienced a change of heart and began to work actively for the conservation of cougars on the island. He began to import Akbash hounds to protect his livestock from predators, and encouraged local farmers to follow suit. As a logger and a guide, he lived all over Vancouver Island, and knows it "like the back of my hand."A true renaissance man, raised on virtues of self-sufficiency, Percy built several log houses nearly single-handedly and lived as a near-recluse for the better part of his life. When he was in his eighties, Percy finally came down off the mountain in Strathcona where he was living in his sprawling log house, complete with goat, chicken and horse barns and a greenhouse. For the first time in his life, Percy has electricity, a refrigerator, and does not need to pump his own water.What finally brought him down off his mountain? He fell in love with the petite but forceful Ilse, an eighty-something woman whom he met through his Elder-hostel tour of Strathcona, and decided it was finally time to give up his bachelor existence. Now living with her on Salt Spring Island, Percy is active in hiking, golfing, and giving talks about cougars. Recently he fought a government proposal to reinstate the bounty on cougars.
