As a study in the Bush Doctrine of preventive warfare, the conflict in Iraq has been of great interest. However, the unintended consequences of the war and its impact on regional instability also demand attention. There is a balance of power struggle taking place between Iran and Saudi Arabia which, because of Iran's nuclear ambitions, has drawn the attention of the international community and the ire of the United States. As a result, policy makers in Washington are compelled to determine a course of action that would, at best, prevent the proliferation of nuclear weapons or, at worst, return the region to a modicum of calm. Indeed, the issue has become the most divisive matter between presumptive presidential nominees Barack Obama and John McCain. It is necessary then to examine the behavior of Iran and Saudi Arabia against the tenets of realism and state behavior through the lens of political scientists John Mearsheimer, Kenneth Waltz, and Stephen Walt. By reviewing offensive, defensive, and balancing behavior within the Middle East system, the predictive analysis should enable policy makers to determine the appropriate measure of sticks and carrots that would achieve U.S. national interests in the region.

It was amazing to speak to the lovely Sophie Dear (all the way from Bali!) about the healing power of yoga and how it can help us build balance in our lives. Before beginning her yoga journey, Sophie worked in TV as an assistant director, which, despite being an adventurous and exciting career, did not provide balance and instead led to challenges such as anxiety, stress and insomnia. It was this lack of balance that influenced Sophie to reconsider her path, and re-align with what allowed her to feel fulfilled. This is where Sophie discovered and fell in love with the empowering practice of yoga and the associated holistic benefits found when we connect to our breath, still the mind and move the body. We address Sophie's transition from student to teacher, in which she completed her RYT in Sydney and endured an experience of deep self exploration and growth, before exploring how lockdown affected Sophie personally and professionally in terms of her adaption to living in Bali and the birth of her subscription channel. Throughout the episode we also investigate the incredible potential of meditation as a preventative medicine, having compassion for ourselves and others, living in the present, and working to become an observer of our thoughts. Sophie has so many exciting future plans laid out ahead, and I have linked below where you can find her to look further! I could not agree more with Sophie that yoga is a tool for leading a better life, and that it is joy to be able to teach a practice which improves the lives of those around us.

The President famously said at this summer's West Point commencement that "U.S. military action cannot be the only or even primary component of our leadership in every instance. Just because we have the best hammer does not mean that every problem is a nail." With a war-weary public and a declining military budget, but no end of security threats from one end of the globe to the other, what should be the military's role in countering these threats? Gen.

This article is from Therapeutics and Clinical Risk Management , volume 10 . Abstract A randomized controlled trial was conducted to clarify the beneficial effect of whole body vibration (WBV) exercise plus squat training on body balance, muscle power, and walking ability in the elderly with knee osteoarthritis and/or spondylosis. Of 35 ambulatory patients (14 men and 21 women) who were recruited at our outpatient clinic, 28 (80.0%, 12 men and 16 women) participated in the trial. The subjects (mean age 72.4 years) were randomly divided into two groups (n=14 in each group), ie, a WBV exercise alone group and a WBV exercise plus squat training group. A 4-minute WBV exercise (frequency 20 Hz) was performed 2 days per week in both groups; squat training (20 times per minute) was added during the 4-minute WBV training session in the WBV exercise plus squat training group. The duration of the trial was 6 months. The exercise and training program was safe and well tolerated. WBV exercise alone improved indices of body balance and walking velocity from baseline values. However, WBV exercise plus squat training was more effective for improving tandem gait step number and chair-rising time compared with WBV exercise alone. These results suggest the benefit and safety of WBV exercise plus squat training for improving physical function in terms of body balance and muscle power in the elderly.

Power system planning environmental analysis

The purpose of this thesis was to develop a research design for measuring the relationship between project effectiveness and the balance of power between the functional and project managers in matrixed organizations during different project phases. Specifically, it was proposed that dominant functional manager influence relates positively to organizational effectiveness in early research phases of project or technology development. Conversely, it was proposed that dominant project manager influence relates positively to organizational effectiveness in later phases of project development. A survey instrument was developed to test these possible relationships. Actual testing of these hypotheses, however, is a subject for follow-on research effort. Interviews with Air Force Wright Aeronautical Laboratory (AFWAL) and Aeronautical System Division (ASD) deputate level managers provided information on the weighting of organizational indicators across the various phases of a project's life cycle. This was accomplished to verify assertions advanced in the literature review that the importance of different effectiveness indicators may vary with the phase of the project. Interview findings tended to support the literature; i.e., certain effectiveness indicators do vary in importance based on the phase of the project.

This thesis explores how the peaking of world oil production influences the global balance of power. On the one hand, the geological phenomenon of peaking, modeled by Hubbert's peak curve, gives the timeframe and the evolution of oil depletion. On the other hand, the impact of energy resources on economic and global balance is perceived differently in world politics. Idealism, realism, and offensive realism lead to different societal behaviors. In this context, oil, as one of the main sources of power for transportation, has a particular role to play. In this context, the relation between the peaking of oil and the global balance of power is scrutinized under the lens of systems theory. Therefore, a simple model to describe the world is developed. This research has found that the peaking of world oil production will increase the resource awareness of great powers. While oil production declines, nations will try to preserve their high level of organization. World politics will shift from idealism, typical of our present growing economy, to realism and offensive realism. Economic rules will move to those of a negative-sum game. As a consequence, minor geopolitical players will have to align with great powers to ensure minimal losses in their oil supply. These great powers will wait until the last moment to start mitigation measures against oil depletion, as too early a transition towards new sources of energy would constitute a risk to their current geopolitical position.

This report presents a new approach to assessing the balance of power in peacetime and wartime. This approach accounts for the changing relative importance of various military and non-military factors at different points along a peacetime/wartime continuum ranging from 'eased tensions' through post- nuclear conflict and recovery. The peacetime/wartime approach points to major differences among American assessments and Soviet and Chinese perceptions of the balance of power. An analysis of Soviet and Chinese perceptions and assessments of the factors affecting the balance of power along the peacetime/wartime continuum is presented. The analysis is based partly on extensive interviews in Moscow and Beijing by the authors with Soviet and Chinese analysts in June and July 1983. The report applies the Soviet and Chinese balance of power assessments to the Sino-Soviet balance at various points on the peacetime/ wartime continuum by examining past and potential conflicts. The report explores the implications for U.S. defense programs and arms control approaches of the information and analyses presented. It assesses the implications of Chinese and Soviet balance of power perceptions for U.S. deterrence and warfighting strategies. It also examines the political and military implications of different outcomes of U.S.-Soviet negotiations affecting INF deployments in the Far East.

Beetle fighting drama in Northern Thailand. When The Stakes Are High The Game Tends To Come Down To A Balance Of Power Between Humans  

Analysts of U.S.-Soviet balance of power usually focus on relative military strength. But other factors determine a country's overall power and influence. Among the most basic is a country's capacity to feed its people. By this measure the Soviet Union appears to be in deep trouble. Massive spending has increased Soviet military strength in recent years, but the country has become weaker agriculturally. While the two superpowers now appear roughly equal in military strength, the advantage in agriculture has shifted dramatically toward the United States. The U.S. exportable food surplus is climbing, while Soviet dependence on food imports is growing. The dramatic shift in the agricultural balance of power between the two countries has been decades in the making, but contrasting food surpluses/deficits have been highly visible only in the last decade or so. As deterioration of Soviet agriculture continues, the need to import food will become even greater. The relationship between grain flow from the United States to the Soviet Union constitutes a new economic tie between the two countries, one that could eventually transform their political relations as well.

This open access book consists of essays selected from Joseph S. Nye, Jr.’s last three decades of writing and illustrate a variety of perspectives on the nature of power, the role of the United States in the world and US-China relations. Through this collection, it is hoped that readers will gain a better understanding of today’s global environment and find that while great power competition may be inevitable in a world as centers of power shift, cooperating to address transnational challenges can be a positive sum game. The contents of this book are divided into four main parts. Part One discusses the origins and political progress of the concept of “Soft Power”. Part Two explores soft power in the American experience, its sources and interaction with US foreign policy, as well as its ebb and flow in the age of Obama, Trump and Biden. Part Three examines the rise of and the opportunities and difficulties for Chinese soft power, focusing on China’s investment in soft power and how this demonstrates its commitment to a peaceful rise. However, it also addresses the question of how can China get “smart” on how it uses soft power. Part Four provides a bird’s-eye view of power shifts in the 21st century and the interactions between the US as an established power and China as a rising power, while also reassuring readers that Thucydidean fears are unnecessary and a Cold War is avoidable. Both countries have to realize that some forms of power must be exercised with others, not over others, the development of soft power need not be a zero-sum game. Ultimately, the US-China relationship is a “cooperative rivalry” where a successful strategy of “smart competition” is necessary and cooperation on transnational challenges like climate change, pandemics, cyberterrorism and nuclear proliferation, will serve to benefit not only China and the US, but the world as a whole.

For the month of August, Michelle and Seth will be focusing on a new series dedicated to looking at the Stages of Power. Following the work of Janet O. Hagberg, they evaluate the different definitions of power and look at the 6 stages of power people go through in their life from a psychological lens. Throughout this series, Michelle and Seth will bring in the ideas of how power pertains to spirituality, to our recognition of God and how it impacts functioning within religious idealism. Then, in the month of September, they will unpack "deconstruction."For this first episode, Michelle and Seth evaluate and discuss the differing definitions of power, looking at the 6 stages that people experience and their psychological impact.This podcast can be found on Mental Podcast as well as the Fade to Gray Network.

The Praetor and the Cleric are fighting again, this time about whose fault it was that the prisoner escaped. The Foreman announces that he has found a potential entrance through a ventilation shaft, but the Cleric does not allow the blasting that would be required to open the tunnel. The Cleric then makes a chilling remark: if the Praetor does not act quickly, the Cleric will arrest him and take over the operations around the Codex.
