The Fall of the Alphas
Author: Dana Ardi
Publisher: Macmillan
ISBN: 0312681933
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
The new model for business success: replace top-down Alpha management with collaboration, connection, and increased job satisfaction—the Beta model The Fall of the Alphas explores the sweeping changes taking place in the corporate and social cultures of today's most successful organizations. Utilizing years of advising companies of all sizes, hypergrowth startups to Fortune 500 company management teams, Dana Ardi identifies a pivotal evolutionary moment: the decline of the traditional Alpha-model (the top-down, male-dominated, authoritarian, corner-office hierarchy that has ruled organizational landscapes for so long), as it is replaced by collaboration, connectivity, and the sharing of power. As Ardi persuasively demonstrates, in the new Beta organization, it is the team players, the sage advisors, the network experts, the trusted assistants, and the communications facilitators who are coming to the fore, as savvy managers learn to lead through influence and collaboration rather than authority and competition. From technology behemoths to small and medium-sized businesses, Beta has become the new paradigm for success in today's challenging market. With insight and practical guidance, Dana Ardi shows how any business organization or team can re-organize from Alpha to Beta—and be more effective, flexible, and profitable

Book Description
SIX-PACK SERIES BOOK TWO * While this book can be read as a standalone, I highly recommend reading book one (Alpha Gray) for context before starting in on this one. * This book is very different from book one- it's a slow burn, and it's a very bumpy ride. You've been warned! THEO: I'm next in line to be the alpha of my pack, but my father doesn't think I'm ready. In his eyes, I'll never be- he wants me to grow up, straighten up, to be someone I'm just... not. At least I've got the security squad in the meantime, and I'm taking on more responsibility by working with the squad's IT unit. I assumed working with a bunch of computer geeks would be boring as hell, but the new girl on the unit has me intrigued. I'm used to getting any girl I want, yet she's rebuffed all of my advances. She's a goody-goody, thinks she's too good for me- and hell, she probably is, but that won't stop me from trying to get in her pants. Underneath every good girl persona is a bad girl just dying to get out. Challenge accepted. BROOKE: All I wanted to do when I came to work for the IT unit at the security squad was keep my head down and do my job. I was doing it pretty well, too, until Theo got assigned as the liaison between the IT unit and squad leadership. I had a crush on him as a kid, but now that he's grown he's a foul-mouthed, womanizing hothead; a total alpha-hole. Other girls may fall for this good looks and his devil-may-care attitude, but I'm smarter than that. He's hanging around the IT unit to observe and report, but he's zeroed in on me for some reason; keeps trying to get under my skin. And just when I think I can escape him, fate delivers the cruelest twist yet. ~ The Six-Pack Series is a collection of werewolf shifter romance novels. These books contain mature content (steamy scenes!) and themes that may not be suitable for younger readers. If frequent use of profanity and f-words offend, then these books may not be for you. While this book ends with a HEA for the main characters and no major cliffhangers, there are some overarching storylines that may not be resolved at the conclusion of this book because they run throughout the series.

Luma Bur, a transgender werewolf, abandoned everything she knew, including her mate and her future role as Alpha, to be her true self. Over the past five years, she’s found happiness like she never thought possible. She loves her job and friends, and she’s set to marry Brenda Finn, a woman who knows that Luma is an unconventional werewolf but knows little else about Luma’s secrets. Her heart aches for her past, but Luma would never trade it for her future. Brenda isn’t without her own secret, though. She isn’t the human she pretends to be. Her appearance is a facade, crafted so she can live a life of ease. Her guilt over it threatens to unravel her peace, and she knows she can't move forward with the wedding without confessing. Then, unexpectedly, Luma’s cousins arrive with devastating news: a long-standing treaty was broken, and their pack was attacked. Luma's father lost his life in the battle, and they expect her to take his place. Her pack needs her assistance in reclaiming their lost territory and pride. Without her, they're lost. Both women must confront painful truths to secure the bliss they've built, or else they risk losing each other. And their lives.

The New Element Berkelium (atomic Number 97)
Author: Stanley Gerald Thompson
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Americium
Languages : en
Pages : 18
Book Description
An isotope of the element with atomic number 97 has been discovered as a product of the helium-ion bombardment of americium. This isotope decays with the emission of alpha-particles of maximum energy 6.72 Mev (30 percent) and it emits lower energy alpha-particles of energies 6.55 Mev (53 percent) and 6.20 Mev (17 percent). The half-life of this isotope is 4.6 hours and it decays primarily by electron capture with about 0.1 percent branching decay by alpha-particle emission. The mass number is probably 243 as indicated by chemical separation of the alpha-particle and electron-capture daughters. The name berkelium, symbol Bk, is proposed for element 97. The chemical separation of element 97 from the target material and other reaction products was made by combinations of precipitation and ion exchange adsorption methods making use of its anticipated (III) and (IV) oxidation states and its position as a member of the actinide transition series. The distinctive chemical properties made use of in its separation and the equally distinctive decay properties of the particular isotope constitute the principal evidence for the new element.
