MDR Gasoline Water Zorb prevents breakdowns due to water in gas. Water can accumulate in fuel tanks from condensation, contaminated fuel, or leaky filler cap gaskets. Also, reformulated gas (RFG) has been known to attract water. Water Zorb disperses and emulsifies water right into the fuel, allowing it to pass through filters and safely burn away with the fuel. Water Zorb can be used as preventive maintenance at 1 oz. to 18 gallons of gas. For larger water accumulations, it will totally emulsify its own volume of water.

MDR Diesel Fuel Water Zorb prevents breakdowns due to water in gas. Absorbs water in fuel tank and burns through engine, and contains no methanol or alcohol. Water can accumulate in fuel tanks from condensation, contaminated fuel, or leaky filler cap gaskets. Also, reformulated gas (RFG) has been known to attract water. Water in diesel fuel can sabotage diesel engines if not removed. Microbes need water to grow and water, even in small amounts, can promote rust and corrosion, along with sludge that can clog injectors and filters, shutting down the engine. For larger water accumulations, it will totally emulsify its own volume of water.

Pour MDR Stor-N-Start Gasoline Stabilizer in your fuel tank this fall for instant starts next spring. MDR Stor-N-Start is the only stabilizer to receive the "performance tested and verified seal" from the Marine Testing Institute for both gasoline and diesel formulas. During storage gasoline "breaks down." Oxidation takes place creating a semi-fluid gum that results in deposits of hard resin on all intake surfaces that can clog carburetors. Stor-N-Start stabilizer contains a powerful anti-oxidant, de-gummers, inhibitors and metal deactivators. Keeps gasoline and diesel fuel refinery-fresh. Contains NO alcohol or methanol. Also helps prevent octane loss during storage.1 oz. treats 5 gallons.

What jobs will Americans hold in the global economy of the twenty-first century and how will they develop the skills they need to compete for these positions? Over the past two decades the emergence and tremendous growth of the Internet has enabled more than a billion new individuals to participate in the global labor force, led to the automation and integration of numerous jobs, and provided a new platform for distance learning. Accompanying the explosion in connectivity, we have seen a shift in the focus of skill debates from a concern about loss of U.S. firm competitiveness to a loss of workforce competitiveness.Today the concerns extend to the offshoring of knowledge work in addition to factory labor; even high-end research and development and professional work is moving rapidly to China, India and other high-skill, low-wage nations. Transforming the U.S. Workforce Development System brings together some of the leading scholars and practitioners working in the skills field to examine what research tells us about the current state of the U.S. skills system in comparative perspective and the major changes that are required to help better prepare U.S. workers for the challenges of competing in the decades ahead. Particular emphasis is placed on labor-management efforts at enhancing skill development.

Civil war conflict is a core development issue. The existence of civil war can dramatically slow a country's development process, especially in low-income countries which are more vulnerable to civil war conflict. Conversely, development can impede civil war. When development succeeds, countries become safer―when development fails, they experience a greater risk of being caught in a conflict trap. Ultimately, civil war is a failure of development.'Breaking the Conflict Trap' identifies the dire consequences that civil war has on the development process and offers three main findings. First, civil war has adverse ripple effects that are often not taken into account by those who determine whether wars start or end. Second, some countries are more likely than others to experience civil war conflict and thus, the risks of civil war differ considerably according to a country's characteristics including its economic stability. Finally, Breaking the Conflict Trap explores viable international measures that can be taken to reduce the global incidence of civil war and proposes a practical agenda for action.This book should serve as a wake up call to anyone in the international community who still thinks that development and conflict are distinct issues.

Intended for courses on leadership, practicing managers, consultants, and practitioners, this approachable guide teaches readers about how to become a leader. By blending the real-world insights of business executive Al Bolea with tested research findings provided by leadership scholar Leanne Atwater, it effectively bridges theory and practice to outline powerful leadership behaviors. Based on Bolea’s original "J-Curve" model of leadership, the authors identify and describe nine essential elements for leadership mastery, including skills such as setting direction, creating key proceses, and nurturing behaviors. Each chapter pairs concrete narratives with succinct research synopses to show how to expand the potential of people and organizations. A unique, experiential text, Applied Leadership Development engages students with self-reflection and self-assessment exercises, and encourages them in their own development as future leaders.

Creativity: Research, Development, and Practice

An integrative introduction to the theories and themes in research on creativity, the second edition of Creativity is both a reference work and text for courses in this burgeoning area of research. The book begins with a discussion of the theories of creativity (Person, Product, Process, Place), the general question of whether creativity is influenced by nature or nurture, what research has indicated of the personality and style of creative individuals from a personality analysis standpoint, and how social context affects creativity. This wide-ranging work then proceeds to coverage of issues such as gender differences, whether creativity can be enhanced, if creativity is related to poor mental or physical health, and much more. The book contains boxes covering special interest items, including one-page biographies of famous creative individuals, and activities for a group or individual to test or encourage creativity, as well as references to Internet sites relating to creativity.Includes all major theories and perspectives on creativityConsolidates recent research into a single sourceIncludes key terms defined and text boxes with interesting related materialSingle authored for clarity and consistency of presentation

Around the world, NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) is synonymous with air and space flight. This book covers NASA's space flight research from the agency's beginnings as NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics) in 1915 to the present-day NASA.Exciting projects and developments are portrayed, such as the first supersonic flight of the X-1 in 1947, the flights of the fastest manned aircraft, the rocket-powered X-15, which attained almost seven times the speed of sound in 1967, the flight-testing of the lunar module for the moon landings, tipping-rotor aircraft, testing new wing concepts, and much more. The emphasis of the book is in the realm of air-flight research, but the boundaries between air and space research are often fluid, so that the development of the Space Shuttle and its testing have been included in this book. Besides project portrayals and descriptions of various research trends, the development sites and important personnel of NASA are portrayed.
