Nicholas Brown. Utopian Generations: The Political Horizon of Twentieth Century Literature. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2005. 1 + 235 pp. $26.95 In Utopian Generations: The Political Horizon of Twentieth Century Literature, Nicholas Brown proposes to refashion the relative literary and political positions occupied by modernism and postcolonial African literature. For Brown, Marxism illuminates the political vicissitudes of modernisms appropriation and subjection of the labor of African literature to the evaluative modes of literary theory as a final product of capital. Modernisms self-satisfaction and commoditization of the raw material and labor supplied by African literature, as well as African literatures often willing reconstitution of itself as eventual capital in a postcolonial market, get rectified in a utopian totality. There is an inverse relationship between utopias decline and the flowering of literary theory, all of which Brown argues is a historically causal effect of postcolonialism and consequently capitalism–of Hegels anthropological history. As Brown says, utopias totality hinges on “neither a literary history nor abstract universal history but on each texts relation to history itself” (3). Hegels emphasis on history serves as the utopic pretext under which both the modernist and African literary traditions realize their full meaning insofar as analyses of respective works in these traditions become structurally dialectic antimonies, each one deficient in political efficacy without the other. Capitalisms dialectical contradictions produce a social totality and reveal a utopian desire which Brown attempts to unveil in the complementarity of modernist and postcolonial texts such as the work of James Joyce and Chinua Achebe. Probing the essentially deconstructive agonism and rhetorical codependence of these literary genres certainly requires textual sensitivity and a skillful application of pre-existing theoretical modes. As textual analysis, Browns argument is distinguishable from his broader theoretical and political claims of a reinvigorated utopianism. Browns detailed reading of African literature, particularly Ngugi wa Thiongos play “I Will Marry When I Want” (1976) and Pepetelas A Geracao da Utopia (1993), is insightful, but its political significance and counterpoint to modernism may not engender the profitable new interpretive field Brown imagines–what he refers to as a sort of negative utopia. That is, Brown presumes a reading of Marx and Hegel unique enough to maintain a utopian framework sans any traditional positive thrust. A political and literary dialectic operates according to a negation which history and time, the full weight of historical dialectic, transform into a becoming-conscious of a positive vision of utopianism. History is, for Hegel, the transformative process of totality of negation into totality as utopic–the conflation of teleological ends with a contingent past in a total utopian moment. Brown readily confesses that history is a launching-off point for his supposed innovative notion of a negative utopia defined by an ephemeral space against which less violative assessments of modernism and African literature are made. If so, it is troublesome to maintain that the conclusion does not closely follow from the premise; and yet this is the crux of the political and literary work Brown envisions for utopia.

Introduction Relevance to nursing recruitment and retention In 2002, the New Zealand Nursing Council workforce survey found that one-third of the actively practising registered nurses in New Zealand were aged between 40 and 50 years (Ministry of Health, 2003). With an ageing workforce and an ageing population overall it is desirable to encourage younger people to pursue careers in nursing (Marriner Tomey, Schwier, Martickefc. May, 1996). In the past five years, enrolments in the Whitireia Community Polytechnic Bachelor of Nursing programme have included an average of 15 students under 20 years old per intake - about 21% of the students enrolled each year. Brown and Matthews (2003) study on the impact of student debt on nurses found that only 13% of the students surveyed were under 20 years of age and nearly 33% were 40 years and over. While our programme has always targeted mature students, with the ageing workforce we now have a responsibility to recruit more young people into nursing.

Effective strategies and activities to stop bullying before it starts We now know that bullying is not normal, natural, or acceptable. Young victims get hurt, both emotionally and physically. Young bullies can grow up to be abusive adults. And its not just the victims and bullies who are affected; people around them are distracted, intimidated, and upset. Bullying in the classroom prevents students from learning and teachers from teaching. While the victims of bullying need to learn skills to avoid such treatment, the bullies also need to be taught better ways of relating to others. This is where you can help. By making a commitment to prevention and intervention, you will be helping to build a positive environment where everyone feels safe, accepted, and valued. Its not enough to stop the bullying that is already happening; we also need to keep students who arent yet bullies or victims from starting down that road. The following pages give you some strategies and steps to help prevent bullying and to intervene once it occurs.
Bullying in organizations has become one the prime social phenomena which can have a direct as well as indirect impact on the productivity of employees and managers. While bullying is a part of the fabric of society, the rate of occurrence as well as the severity of bullying acts in the workplace is alarming. This paper puts forth a model that illustrates the triangular relationship and interaction between the three components in the bullying event: 1) the organizational environment and its impact on the occurrence of bullying activities; 2) the characteristics of those that bully; and 3) the characteristics of those being bullied (e.g., victims of bullying). These three interrelated issues form the triangle of bullying that is examined in this paper. This paper posits that a major source of many of the personnel relational problems faced in the workplace between coworker and coworker or manager and employees comes from bullies, just like the ones experienced on the childhood playground. Research shows that child bullies and those bullied as children have the potential to become adult bullies. Combine that with the complex, diverse, global business arena that creates high levels of stress, it is easy to understand why there is the possibility of boardroom/workplace bullies. “Bullying at work is claimed to be more crippling and devastating problem for employees than all other work related stress put together.” (Einarsen, 1999). There is one person for each of us, that Strikes fear in our hearts with the mere mention Of his/her name. That person for me is Steven Mastraonni! Even though I have not seen Steven in over 40 years, I still remember the details of his physical anatomy as if I had seen him every day for the past four decades. He was the local bully in the small town that I grew-up in Missouri. Steven matured early (I think he started shaving when he was 8 years old). To this day, I can recall the sheer terror of going to school and trying to get home each day without encountering Steven along the way. As an adult, I am significantly less concerned for my physical well-being relative to modern day terrorists, than I was with Steven and he did not have access to nuclear or biological weapons of mass destruction! For many adults, there is a Steven in their work places. One who strikes fear in their hearts that develops into significant levels of stress. The unfortunate reality is that bullying is moving from the playground of our childhood, to the offices and boardrooms of our adult business arenas. Questions about this social phenomenon, as it appears in a business context need to be asked. Why are bullying acts occurring more frequently? What can be done to address bullying in the workplace? Bullying (i.e., repeated acts and practices that are directed deliberately or unconsciously, but clearly cause humiliation, offence and distress, and that interfere with job performance and/or cause an unpleasant work environment {Einarsen, 1999}) is typically proactive and frequently involve a continuous process of badgering the victim (Rayner Cooper, 1997). There are a number of historic business leaders who are described in the annuals of business as management tyrants and/or bullies (e.g., John D. Rockefeller, Henry Clay Frick, and Henry Ford).

CARLSBAD, Calif. — First System to Link Business Policy Objectives Directly to Technical Checks to Automate Security Compliance Reporting Preventsys Inc., the leader in security risk management and automated security compliance reporting, today launched the Preventsys Security Risk Management system to provide security professionals and executives with unprecedented visibility into their organizations IT risk and compliance profile. Available immediately, the new system is comprised of the Preventsys Security Risk Manager and the Preventsys Automated Security Compliance Reporter, two separate applications that reduce costs, manage IT security risks and automate reporting on compliance to published security standards and custom business policies. IT Security Risk Management (SRM) is defined as the complete process of understanding threats, prioritizing vulnerabilities, limiting damage from potential attacks, and understanding the impact of proposed changes or patches on the target systems. According to IDC estimates, the IT SRM market is expected to grow from $328 million in 2005 to $500 million in 2007. The new Preventsys Security Risk Manager consolidates vulnerability, configuration and threat data with its RiskScore(TM) Engine into a prioritized list of critical remediation tasks. This reduces the amount of data security professionals need to analyze by up to 98%, making it easy to identify the top 2% of risks for remediation. According to a Gartner research report entitled, Sarbanes Oxley Spending Continues to Disrupt Software Purchases by Tom Eid, Joanne M. Correia, and French Caldwell, “through 2007, companies that choose one-off solutions for each regulatory challenge they face will spend 10 times more on IT solutions for compliance than their counterparts that take a sustainable program-office-based approach. Sustainable compliance, that is, a level of effort that is sufficient but not excessive, will only be achieved by consolidating compliance efforts through a programmatic rather than project oriented approach.”

SWEE JOO BERHAD is an investment holding company that is involved, via its subsidiaries, in shipping and shipping-related services, haulage, distribution, warehousing, container handling and repairs. It is one of the pioneer shipping owners and operators for container shipping services in East Malaysia. Originally incorporated over 20 years ago as Johan Shipping Sdn Bhd (Johan Shipping), the company was founded by four vastly experienced parties in the shipping industry. The Sim family has been involved in shipping for over 60 years, venturing into Sarawak coastal shipping in the 1940s with just one vessel through a company called Chop Sim Swee Joo. This company grew in tandem with the growing trade in the shipping industry, leading to the incorporation of Sim Swee Joo Shipping Sdn Bhd in 1978. The Jugah family first ventured into shipping in 1980 via their investment in Sim Swee Joo Shipping. Two years later, this same investment catalysed their co-founding of Johan Shipping; subsequently, the family has increased and maintained its investment in the company. Lo Ping Yiu brings with him over two decades of experience in the shipping industry that began with his fathers shipping business in Hong Kong. He came to Johan via a stint in Singapore in the late 1970s during which he set up his own shipping business.

Think comfort, flexibility, and appearance, and youre on the right track. When it comes to office furniture, few items are more important than a comfortable office chair. Studies have shown that the chairs used by office professionals affect both productivity and stress levels. But what makes an office chair ideal? Heres a look at the features to consider in selecting the perfect chair. “Look for a chair that is appropriate for the individual using the chair and for the tasks that person will be performing,” says Jen Scrivner, general manager of G2 Office Furniture Market in Phoenix. “If the person using the chair will be sitting for long periods of time, the chair should be highly adjustable. Highly adjustable chairs will comfortably accommodate a variety of sitting postures including reclining, leaning forward, and sitting upright.” Moreover, the worker should be able to adjust his chair easily. If the user has to adjust two knobs and six levers to get comfortable, chances are he wont use the adjustments at all or wont use them properly. In that case, the user wont be comfortable no matter how “ergonomic” the chair is.

#19669 Tenant filed a fair market rent appeal, claiming that her initial rent-stabilized rent was greater than the fair market rent. Landlord submitted comparability data, claiming that the rent was consistent with other rents in the building. The DRA ruled against tenant. Tenant appealed, claiming that the room count claimed for her apartment was incorrect and that this affected the calculation of the maximum base rent used to calculate the fair market rent for her apartment. The DHCR ruled against tenant. The DRA set tenants fair market rent at $976, based on HUD rents established for one-bedroom apartments as of October 1, 2003. The HUD rent was greater than the 2004 MBR increase by an additional 50 percent. It didnt matter if there was an error in the MBR, since the fair market rent using the HUD figure was higher. Since tenants initial rent of $850 was less than $976, her rent was less than the fair market rent.

An audiologist works with the interactive software program over several weeks or months with the patients help, fine-tuning and tailoring it to produce the clearest sound for the patient. It is common for patients to hear undistinguishable noises at first, so the audiologist plays a key role in adjusting certain parameters of the device to improve the quality of sound over time for better speech understanding. If problems occur, the primary audiologist can use the new software system to dial up an expert who can see the patient in real time. As the software is manipulated, the expert and the primary audiologist can work together to perfect the level of programming.

The reasons for the lack of attention to physical functioning have not been identified, however it has been suggested that incorporation of physical activity assessment into the routine care plan in the dialysis clinics may be helpful (Carlson Carey, 1999; Johansen, Sakkas, Doyle, Shubert, Dudley, 2003; Painter, Blagg, Moore, 1995; Painter Johansen, 1999). A recent survey of exercise counseling practices among nephrologists caring for dialysis patients reported that only 38% reported “almost always” or “often” assessing patient levels of physical activity and providing counseling to inactive patients to increase activity (Johansen, Sakkas, Doyle, Shubert, Dudley, 2003). The experience of the authors working with exercise in the dialysis clinics is that dialysis staff members have significant influence, and the dialysis setting provides a unique opportunity to provide encouragement and guidance to their patients for increasing physical activity. However, information on the benefits of physical activity and skills for recommending, motivating, and encouraging patients to increase their levels of physical activity are not part of the routine care or part of the training of most dialysis patient care staff. As a part of the Renal Exercise Demonstration Project, a survey was developed for the dialysis patient care staff to (a) determine their level of knowledge and perceived skills for assessing physical functioning and encouraging exercise, (b) assess their attitudes and practice related to assessment of physical functioning and exercise counseling for their patients, and (c) identify factors that predict encouragement of exercise by patient care staff. A questionnaire was developed using a focus group of several hemodialysis staff members from three dialysis clinics, including registered dietitians (RD), licensed vocational nurses (LVN), registered nurses (RN), and patient care technicians (PCT). This focus group was asked about their experiences (if any) with exercise for their patients, as well as perceptions related to physical functioning and exercise in their patients. Questions were developed and tested in a group of 39 patient care staff from dialysis clinics not involved in the Renal Exercise Demonstration Project (Painter et al., 2000b). The questionnaire asked staff to (a) rate physical functioning, (b) state whether they thought patients could benefit from exercise, (c) assess their skills for and practice of assessing physical limitations and encouraging physical activity, and (d) assess whether they thought such assessment and encouragement were part of their responsibilities and were possible in their daily work routine. The questionnaire also attempted to assess perceptions of patient care staff related to physical activity in their patients (i.e., possible barriers for adoption of exercise). The research design for administration of this baseline questionnaire was cross-sectional and descriptive.
