The prevalence of hidden disabilities and conditions cannot be underestimated: in the UK, one in five people have a disability, and eighty per cent of these disabilities are not obvious to others. Through conversations with volunteer interviewees, this book highlights the wide range of hidden disabilities and conditions that exist in the workplace, and suggests appropriate accommodations that organisations can make to help their employees play a full part in society. Ted Smith is the author of the award-nominated Human Resources A to Z: A Practical Field Guide for People Managers. He''s a senior human resources and organisation development consultant who has been working on a significant project to make workplaces more inclusive for those with hidden disabilities and conditions. That research has led to this informative and practical guide. All profits from the sale of this book will go to Macmillan Cancer Support.

"Message to the People" is a Declaration of Independence from the Matrix, which holds our people captive. This ENTIRE Matrix is the ENEMY and many of you are the enemy because you uphold this wicked SYSTEM of evil. If you are part of the Matrix, you are an ENEMY to the advancement of the people. From the businessmen to the policemen to the pastors to most of your PROFESSIONAL jobs - it is a PROFESSIONAL Matrix to keep you DEPENDENT upon this SYSTEM.

The mystery of how they died has never been solved. The conclusion reached in this book prompts thoughts as to why the military authorities never conducted an investigation at the time, and why the raid was planned in the first place.

This case study compares two very different models for recycling obsolete computers and electronics hardware that have been created by the two largest computer makers in the U.S. -- Hewlett Packard''s partnership with Micro Metallics of Roseville, California, and Dell Computers'' (recently renamed Dell, Inc.) partnership with UNICOR, the Federal Prison Industry. This study found that the two facilities differed dramatically in their transparency to the public. The Atwater facility exhibited a "fortress UNICOR" mentality, allowing only restricted access to investigators. UNICOR failed to respond to repeated requests to allow an industrial hygienist trained in occupational health and safety to inspect its facility, approving the visit too late for its findings to be included here. During a visit by other inspectors for this study, both investigators and inmates were forbidden from speaking with each other. Fortunately, the investigators were able to supplement their observations with testimonials from inmates, which are presented anonymously in this report to protect prisoners from reprisal. The Atwater facility refused to provide air quality test results, claiming that this information would have to be sought through a Freedom of Information Act request addressed to the federal Bureau of Prisons. In contrast, the Micro Metallics - Hewlett-Packard facility allowed our industrial hygienist to inspect freely, permitted investigators to speak informally with employees, and provided air monitoring and employee blood-lead test results.

The West African diamond mining industry makes a good setting for this adventure mystery. Nigel Ballantyne works for the diamond mining company, WADMINCO. His job is to stop the rampant illegal digging of diamonds which goes on in the WADMINCO lease area. But he finds this is difficult in the pervading political climate. Some of the illegal miners are financed by a shadowy figure known as Mama Sia. Nigel swears he will close her operations down. But as the story unfolds we sense that Mama Sia is gaining the upper hand. One of the main mysteries is to her identity. Who or what is she? From the begining Nigel realizes he is fighting a losing battle against the illegal miners? One of the main reasons is there is a ready market for their diamonds. How do you tell if a diamond has been mined legally or illegally? Intertwined with some violent events is a romance between Nigel and a Sierra Leonean named Rose Dunway. The story illustrates how dificult it is, in an economically poor country, to extract diamonds without suffering a high level of criminal activities.
