How can we forget the period of invasion, plundering and insulting incidents for the people of Ireland which is the seventeenth century? People who either survived all the events of that period or those who had heard things about that time from their ancestors will give us a detailed account on those bloody riots and massacres. Small groups of rebels in the Irish lands were brutally crushing under the heels of their English conquerors and this was the opening of a great chapter in the history of Ireland.
In the early parts of the eighteenth century, the English and the Irish had made the Act of Union and this enabled the differences between the two regions to subdue greatly. North and South parts of the Irish lands were facing internal conflicts which were mainly on whether to follow their old customs or to follow new principles in governing the region better.
When the northern part of Ireland prospered immensely with the growth in industrial and manufacturing sectors, the uneven regions of the southern regions prevented optimistic growth in their lives, forcing them to resume their past again. Britain was blamed for all these troubles and they were forced into sending troops to solve these matters at hand. Both the regions suffered again under this newly renewed fight for freedom and prosperity and it brought about the permanent division of the northern and southern regions.
During this period, the Catholics wanted complete freedom and this created a much bigger political problem in Ireland for almost four decades. The solution which was chosen for this problem was the inception of the Government of Ireland act in the year 1920, which however did not help the situation much. Guerrilla warfare methods were used by the Irish Republican Army against the troops of British soldiers and this brought about the death of countless Englishmen.
In the year 1921, however, the legendary treaty of peace was signed between the different groups of Ireland. The result was that Northern Ireland got hold of six counties while twenty three Southern counties and three counties from Ulster were brought under the region of southern Ireland. Following these turn of events, the independent republic of Ireland was formed and things seemed to have come into control after this for some time.
However, fate played its turn a little later, from 1960 to 1990, which brought the old ways of violence back into play. Fueled by the Catholics and the Protestants in the land, armed attacks by the Independent Republican Army and the Protestant paramilitary forces were raging on, forcing the British to intervene. Only after the signing of the Anglo-Irish Agreement between the Irish Prime ministers and the British and the cease fire from the IRA, peace started to reign on the lands of Ireland. The most recent turn of events is the handing over of all powers by the British back to Ireland, in 2010, which has left only the echoes of the past to resound once in a while.
Jeff Rense interviews Cliff High of Half Past Human regarding his views on upcoming events for this year and beyond. In this interview, High reveals his forecast for the economy, environment, social structure and politics.
High employ a technique based on radical linguistics to reduce extracts from readings of dynamic postings on the internet into an archetypical database. With this database of archtypical language, he is able to calculate the rate of change of the language.
The forecasts of the future are derived from these calculations. The calculations are based on a system of associations between words and numeric values for emotional responses from those words. These ‘emotional impact indicators’ are also of his own devising. They are attached to a data base of over 300/three hundred thousand words. This data base of linked words/phrases and emotions is the lexicon from which the future forecasting is derived.
He calls the future viewing the ALTA reports for ‘asymetric language trend analysis’. The ALTA reports are available by subscription.

What makes an effective leader? Many people might say character, leadership style, and values define an effective leader. However, it is not enough to measure the effectiveness of a leader based on character, style, and values alone. These attributes should not be the only criteria in evaluating the effectiveness of a leader in any organization. Effective leadership takes more than just analytic thinking, personal integrity, and working with ambiguity. An effective leader should also learn how to connect these attributes with leadership results.
Many of us might have learned from college or from a management book the formula for results based leadership involves attributes, results, and effective leadership. This can be better illustrated as effective leadership = attributes x results. It is not merely the inputs of leadership that organizations and leaders must give importance to – leaders must also think about outcomes or results and organizations should start learning how to put stress or emphasis on the outcomes of leadership.
It has always been a challenge for organizations to make its people have a better understanding of results based leadership. And it has always been a challenge for executives, managers, and human resources personnel to help develop leaders (in different levels of the organizations) who are able to focus on both attributes and results. To help organizations have a deeper understanding and appreciation of leadership that is based on results, it is recommended that executives and managers should continually ask for things that are required for attaining results and recurrently tell stories about how to get results.
There are four ways by which we can evaluate whether or not leaders are observing and exhibiting results based leadership. Results must help balance the employees, organization, customers, and investors – and it must not ignore any one. Results must also be able to strongly connect to the strategy of the organization, as well as its competitive position. It should also meet both short-term and long-term goals, and it must not sacrifice long-term plans. Moreover, results must support the whole organization and should go beyond the personal gain of the manager, executive or any other leader.
There are also four areas by which results based leadership can be delivered – for employees, for the organization, for its customers, and for its investors. There are certain metrics for each of these areas, and they should all be taken into consideration if a leader wants to deliver results.
