SPEEDBALL
In the dazzling blue waters of the Mediterranean paradise, the island of Cyprus, close to its coast lays Adelphi Isle. Tourists dare not visit this palm-fringed exotic place, as all uninvited visitors are discouraged and chased away at gunpoint, for Adelphi Isle is the headquarters of a ruthless narcotics syndicate.
When ex-marine Spyro Cava innocently crosses the syndicate’s path, he does not heed their warnings but is determined to penetrate the isle’s defences. It is an act of courage in the face of overwhelming odds. Unwittingly Spyro and his companions are now part of the gripping thriller set in the very real world of international crime.
Sailing around the lush coastlines of the Island of Aphrodite for a living is Spyro Cava's idea of heaven, especially with his dream girl Elena by his side.
Returning from a month-long contract, Spyro’s paradise is shattered when he discovers an abandoned derelict yacht, the Venus, riddled with bullets and adrift in the sea.

EXULTATION
Synopsis:
An orphan boy from a remote Greek island, where dolphins thrive, finds his Scottish father. His father, a captain and a commodore always accompanied by a pelican, takes him to Scotland, where Stephen finds love and security.
He graduates as a doctor and travels to New York where he meets an exceedingly beautiful American-French soprano and they fall in love.
During their honeymoon, they sail in the Mediterranean Sea and help in the rescue of a family captured by terrorists in Lebanon. The international political involvement of Arab nations and Western governments ensure the release of the abducted shipping magnate and his family.
Together, they explore some unknown parts of the Amazon rain forest where they discover a wild girl brought up by an unknown tribe. They bring her back to civilisation, where Stephen’s father adopts her. Gradually, she learns how to survive and re-adjust in the American and European environment. Fiona becomes Britain’s foremost primate geneticist.

THE PHILOSOPHICAL CONCEPTS OF MANAGEMENT THROUGH THE AGES
17. The Philosophical Concepts of Management Through The Ages.
ISBN: 0952725363 Year: 2005
The process of managing a team involves the interaction of people where individuals contribute to the running or completion of a task. As in any State or country, under any government, people live together under various laws, rules, regulations and religions. The people elect or they follow a leader, be it a democratic or tyrannical leadership. People under such regimes follow a type of management. In a business environment such methods of management prevail. A Manager will delegate and lead one or more individuals within the organization by running the business or a system. Management styles can, therefore, be considered as political systems where people participate in the smooth running of a country or a company, whether this is a global organization or a fruit stall in the back streets of any city.

HOW TO CONSTRUCT YOUR RÉSUMÉ
THE COMPILATION OF A RÉSUMÉ IS A CONTINUOUS PROCESS. EVERY TIME YOU GAIN A NEW EXPERIENCE, A NEW QUALIFICATION, OR NEW RESPONSIBILITIES, IMMEDIATELY YOU MUST UPDATE YOUR CV. TO MARKET ONE’S OWN ABILITIES, ATTRIBUTES, EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS, AS A JOB APPLICANT, YOU WILL HAVE TO CONVINCE THE POTENTIAL EMPLOYER THAT YOU ARE WORTH IT. THAT POSSIBLY YOU ARE THE BEST FIT FOR THE JOB REQUIREMENTS AND THAT THE ORGANISATION WILL BENEFIT. A WELL BUILT DOSSIER WILL OPEN THE DOOR FOR THAT FIRST STEP, THE INTERVIEW. IT WILL ALSO SHOW THAT YOU ARE PURSUING A CAREER FOR CONTINUOUS DEVELOPMENT. WHERE A JOB CHANGE IS WHAT YOU ARE TRYING TO OBTAIN, REMEMBER THAT YOUR CURRICULUM VITAE MUST SHOW YOUR OWN PROFESSIONAL PORTABIILITY POTENTIALS.
