Analysis: When rebel Conservative lawmakers staged a dramatic revolt against Mr. Johnson last week, dispirited Republicans across the Atlantic saw a lesson in how a center-right party can stand up to a wayward leader.

Winds need time to mature
Gerson Lehrman Group - New York,USA
Peter Drucker taught it takes thirty+ years to establish a sound business from the time of vision and first success streak of introduction of a new product ...

He then set sail, counting on the wayward winds to guide him across the ocean. Arriving in San Francisco 94 days later, the 23-year-old Horie was the man of the hour. He described the trip in "Taiheiyo Hitoribotchi" (All alone on the Pacific).

After seemingly an eternity — in reality, the nosedive lasted 20 very long seconds — the flight crew wrested control of the plane from its wayward computer and made an emergency landing at a remote military and mining airstrip 650 miles short of Perth.

Bank of America is investigating how Merrill Lynch accounted for wayward trades in the final, frantic months of 2008 -- and why at least one $120 million trading loss was slow to appear on Merrill's books, The New York Times reported.

MUSIC REVIEW

內容簡介 · · · · · ·
潛意識從古至今都是一大堆亂七八糟的神秘感念。這本書恰恰為我們厘清了關於它的迷思。作者克拉克斯頓是一位天才，他致力於探索有史以來，吸引並困擾思想者的潛意識課題，有效地將頭腦的詩歌與科學融為一體。古人用諸神和史詩來安頓潛意識頭腦中種種折磨人的意象，而克拉克斯頓則用關於大腦的電流與突觸來解釋它。他追蹤了歷史上四千年來潛意識的觀念，講解潛意識思維是如何被解讀的，在科學、文化和宗教信仰、神話和文學中又是如何被演繹的。從古代神話到現代神經科學理論，作者旁徵博引，條分縷析，全都信手拈來，流暢自如。書中列舉了不少鮮為人知的例子和故事，使之極具趣味性和可讀性，讀來無不讚歎它精彩絕倫。

你會不會莫名地歡快或沮喪？你有沒有做過很詭異的夢，或者腦子裡有一個聲音在說話？抑或回想起以前的事情，或經歷過什麼前兆性的現象：思路突然中斷，或者又出現什麼新奇的聯想……而這一切看似突如其來？類似暗示、預感和審美感這樣比較微妙的提示，會不會讓你興奮得噁心或者毛骨悚然？所有這些稀奇古怪的現象只能說明一點，人類遠沒有想像的如此能幹，可以隨心所欲地控制自己的思想。事實上，人類生活的許多方面很難用理智去解釋，頭腦看起來倒像是一個獨立思維的組織。
在遠古世界裡，人們為了弄明白普通生活中難以解釋的感受，就有了神靈和神話的故事。而今我們對這些現象做了比較科學的解釋：這些都不過是我們大腦中的兩條電路連接所產生的奇妙感覺罷了。
這是一本有趣的書，展現了歷史上各種有關無意識的闡述。它汲取了思想、文化、文學以及靈修中的精華，從古埃及到荷馬史詩再到希臘神話、現代的波利尼西亞，把人們從來沒有厘清的淩亂的無意識整理出來。它還闡述了無意識那無形的基石，包括無意識和有意識的思維對人類日常生活行為的持續影響力。
