Найти книгу: "The UFO Files"

The UFO Files digs deep into the government's archives to unravel the true story of Canada's fascinating connection to the UFO phenomenon. Weaving together eyewitness accounts and secret government files, including newly declassified documents, Palmiro Campagna relates some startling episodes in Canadian UFO history; ranging from the revelations made to Wilbert Smith, a Canadian Ministry of Transport engineer, and the unexplained case of Stefan Michalak, whose close encounter with a strange, burning hot craft left him physically scarred. It also explores the United States' so-called «black» program, which may have originated with the Avrocar (also known as the Project Silver Bug), the United States Air Force flying saucer built in Canada. The Toronto Star noted that The UFO Files provides «a detailed and convincing portrait presented with an astonishing array of archival evidence and photographs.» While George Filer, New Jersey State director of the Mutual UFO Network, said this book «is well worth reading and helps unravel the true story of UFOs in Canada.» As Palmiro Campagna demonstrates, the truth is indeed out there.

Герой фантастического романа – «попаданец» – переносится в то время и становится очевидцем и участником событий! Сможет ли маршал одержать верх в неравном бою?

1985 год.

Задача наших ребят – противостоять кровожадным басмачам и отстоять интересы Родины во что бы то ни стало! Вот только в том ли они, чем учили в школе?..

Too many organizations invest in performance management and business intelligence projects, without first establishing the needed conditions to ensure success. But the organizations that lay the groundwork for effective change first reap the benefits. In Profiles in Performance: Business Intelligence Journeys and the Road Map for Change, Howard Dresner (author of The Performance Management Revolution) worked with several extraordinary organizations to understand their thriving «performance-directed culture.» In doing so, he developed a unique maturity model-which served as both a filter to select candidates and as a lens to examine accomplishments. Interviews with people from all sides of the organization: business users, finance, senior management and the IT department Provides a complete picture of their progress from inception to current state The models, analyses and real world accounts from these cases will be an invaluable resource to any organization hoping to improve or initiate their own performance-directed culture.
