Do you suffer from procrastination? Do you suffer from poor goal management? Do you ever wonder why its so hard to focus? Are you disorganized? Do you let negative emotions derail your goals? Do you sleep too much and have a difficult time getting out of bed each morning? Do you have what it takes to compete in this economically challenged marketplace? When times are rough, its easy to feel overwhelmed and just accept things the way they are. However, successful people are ones who take control of their life via discipline. Discipline is the defining element in your life. With it you can achieve anything; without it you will struggle to exist. No matter how many books you read, if you don't commit yourself to self-discipline, the books will not help and you are back where you started. What if discipline was a meta-skill composed of easy steps that you could learn? How would that change your life? Harris Kern and Adriana Ace Castle have distilled their combined 55 years of experience as life coaches and organizational consultants into a knowledge manual that features the 10 Commandments for Success. This book simplifies the complexity of gaining the ability to discipline yourself into ten principles that you can understand and use right away. Let us help you train your mind to build structure and to live life with a sense of urgency. Take the first step in your journey to achieving your goals by reading DISCIPLINE: Take Control of Your Life.

This volume examines what and how the media teach, to and by whom, and for what purpose, in a rapidly shifting milieu of media content, platforms, and relations. While intimately concerned with education, authors move the discussion beyond the setting of formal schooling to uncover the ways in which the media contribute to individual and collective understandings of self and other, and their relations to society and communities in which they move. In doing so, the text encourages readers to transcend exclusionary discussions of citizenship to consider participation in local and global geographies against a neoliberal backdrop that marginalizes those unable to, unwilling to, and excluded from competing in the free market. Contributors extend their deliberations back to formal school settings to reaffirm pedagogies that rediscover the reading of texts—broadly defined—in the world through multimodalities. In this sense, the text strives to be transdisciplinary, and is appropriate for use in multiple disciplines and fields of study.

Catheter ablation has become a widely used approach to treating various cardiac arrhythmias. Traditionally, catheter ablation procedures are guided by fluoroscopic imaging to help understand catheter position during mapping. The potentially significant exposure to radiation to the patient, physician, and staff increases risks of radiation exposure-related disease. Also, the protective lead garments worn increases risks of orthopedic injury. Current advanced electroanatomic mapping and intracardiac echocardiography technology have allowed the development of endocardial catheter ablation techniques without the use of fluoroscopy safely and effectively. A host of expert and experienced authors present a practical overview of the rationale and methodology for a low- or zero-fluoro environment in the electrophysiology lab with the critical goal of significantly reducing radiation exposure to the patient, physician, and staff. This practical guide: -Covers the entire spectrum of commonly (and less commonly) performed ablation procedures via endocardial approach. -Discusses general principles that are applicable across ICE and EAM platforms. -Will assist the electrophysiologist and their team to safely and effectively work toward the significant reduction in fluoroscopy utilization while also likely improving procedural safety, i.e., fewer complications, after the adoption of these techniques. -Includes a library of 50 videos, with 9 extended films (108 minutes) by Dr. Razminia detailing step-by-step procedures and techniques.

Classics in the Modern World explores the features and implications of a 'democratic turn' in modern perceptions of the ancient world. Exploring the relationship between Greek and Roman ways of thinking and modern definitions of democratic practices and approaches, it enables a wider re-evaluation of the role of classics in the modern world.
