The report demonstrates that the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a promising decision tool for evaluating fire protection systems for homeowners. It lays the ground for development of specialized computer software for applying the AHP to decisions of individual homeowners. Unlike conventional methods of economic analysis, the AHP integrates quantifiable and qualitative variables. The study explores how to include in the decision-making process information on an individual's risk exposure and risk attitude, information which is generally difficult or impossible to quantify. By differentiating between risk exposure and risk attitude, this application goes beyond the AHP's conventional treatment of risk. The AHP is applied to the choice of purchasing smoke detectors, a sprinkler system, or a combination of the two. Two hypothetical cases are assumed, one in which the homeowner is risk-taking and has lower-than-average risk exposure, and one in which the homeowner is risk-averse and has higher-than-average risk exposure. Subjective probabilities of fire, death, injury, and property loss are merged with more easily quantifiable benefit and cost criteria. A method of pairwise comparisons provides the data to calculate priority vectors for the fire protection alternatives.

Normally confident moms and dads grow weak-kneed when their children enter--gasp!--puberty. Barbara and Dennis Rainey, parents of six teenage or older children, map out the unfamiliar, demanding landscape of both pre-adolescence (ages 10-12), as well as the teen years that follow. "Preadolescence is when convictions are shaped; adolescence is when convictions are tested," they advise parents. In Parenting Today's Adolescent the Raineys help children and parents build a satisfying relationship while forging a vision for a productive, God-honoring life-before, during, and after adolescence.
Retrospection is a Great Natural Teacher. Trait Management has the answers to human problems in Re-Building the Organization. How does one humanize management and organization? How will you, as a manager, transform organizational management practices? Leadership and management should intersect at attitude! You might be a CEO, Technocrat, President, Director, Captain or Superintendent. Whatever position you might holding in the corporate organization if you fail to establish the right virtues, attitude, behaviour, ethics, integrity and finally zeal in the one and all in the organization, then your purpose to be at authority without creating values for the community & society has no true meaning in all respects. You cannot transmit wisdom to another person. The seed is already there. A good teacher touches the seed, allowing it to wake up to sprout, to grow, to spread, to flourish with flowers and fruits. Wisdom is the application of mind, conscience, thought, attitude, knowledge, experience and finally the truth. The book is a perfect guide for managers all over the world.
Decades of research have demonstrated that the parent-child dyad and the environment of the familyâ€"which includes all primary caregiversâ€"are at the foundation of children's well- being and healthy development. From birth, children are learning and rely on parents and the other caregivers in their lives to protect and care for them. The impact of parents may never be greater than during the earliest years of life, when a child's brain is rapidly developing and when nearly all of her or his experiences are created and shaped by parents and the family environment. Parents help children build and refine their knowledge and skills, charting a trajectory for their health and well-being during childhood and beyond. The experience of parenting also impacts parents themselves. For instance, parenting can enrich and give focus to parents' lives; generate stress or calm; and create any number of emotions, including feelings of happiness, sadness, fulfillment, and anger. Parenting of young children today takes place in the context of significant ongoing developments. These include: a rapidly growing body of science on early childhood, increases in funding for programs and services for families, changing demographics of the U.S. population, and greater diversity of family structure. Additionally, parenting is increasingly being shaped by technology and increased access to information about parenting. Parenting Matters identifies parenting knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with positive developmental outcomes in children ages 0-8; universal/preventive and targeted strategies used in a variety of settings that have been effective with parents of young children and that support the identified knowledge, attitudes, and practices; and barriers to and facilitators for parents' use of practices that lead to healthy child outcomes as well as their participation in effective programs and services. This report makes recommendations directed at an array of stakeholders, for promoting the wide-scale adoption of effective programs and services for parents and on areas that warrant further research to inform policy and practice. It is meant to serve as a roadmap for the future of parenting policy, research, and practice in the United States.
