A behind the scenes tell all book about the corrupt magazine industry. What the mainstream magazine publishers do not want you to know. True stories of a traveling magazine salesman. Trapped in a prison of his own accord. Traveling the us, city to city and state to state. Living daily through verbal and physical abbuse, drug addiction and greed. Daily life on mag crew consists of fourteen hour work days fueled by angered mob type bosses. Working his way to the top through sex and scandal. After seventeen years of blood, sweat and tears he finally gets made not realizing the true purpose of his life. He makes a decision to get sober for the first time in his life. Brainwashed by his boss and fooled by drugs and alcohol his mind was never clear. Once he escapes he realizes his whole life was a lie. From the his sales, title on crew, relationships and success. In the end his faith would be put to the test. Wondering if he should exspose this dangerous industry for what it really is. He decides to write this book. Receiving death threats its a marvel he made it out alive unlike many others. All the mag crew bosses care about is getting their cut of the profits and control. The magazine publishers increasing their circulation at any cost. Its amazing that the magazine publishers support these gang like mag crews. This modern day form of slavery (human trafficking) includes sex and violence. Several lives have been lost due to murder, prison, rape, drug and alcohol overdoses. Lets not forget the parents of the children that allowed them to take the "KILLER JOB" the ad they seen in their local newspaper. I hope this story prevents your son or daughter from falling into the same trap and opens peoples eyes to this growing problem. The names in the book have been changed to protect myself and many others.

Corruption is a threat to democracy and economic development in many societies. It arises in the ways people pursue, use and exchange wealth and power, and in the strength or weakness of the state, political and social institutions that sustain and restrain those processes. Differences in these factors, Michael Johnston argues, give rise to four major syndromes of corruption: Influence Markets, Elite Cartels, Oligarchs and Clans, and Official Moguls. In this 2005 book, Johnston uses statistical measures to identify societies in each group, and case studies to show that the expected syndromes do arise. Countries studied include the United States, Japan and Germany (Influence Markets); Italy, Korea and Botswana (Elite Cartels); Russia, the Philippines and Mexico (Oligarchs and Clans); and China, Kenya, and Indonesia (Offical Moguls). A concluding chapter explores reform, emphasising the ways familiar measures should be applied - or withheld, lest they do harm - with an emphasis upon the value of 'deep democratisation'.

In 2015, building on the advances of the Millennium Development Goals, the United Nations adopted Sustainable Development Goals that include an explicit commitment to achieve universal health coverage by 2030. However, enormous gaps remain between what is achievable in human health and where global health stands today, and progress has been both incomplete and unevenly distributed. In order to meet this goal, a deliberate and comprehensive effort is needed to improve the quality of health care services globally. Crossing the Global Quality Chasm: Improving Health Care Worldwide focuses on one particular shortfall in health care affecting global populations: defects in the quality of care. This study reviews the available evidence on the quality of care worldwide and makes recommendations to improve health care quality globally while expanding access to preventive and therapeutic services, with a focus in low-resource areas. Crossing the Global Quality Chasm emphasizes the organization and delivery of safe and effective care at the patient/provider interface. This study explores issues of access to services and commodities, effectiveness, safety, efficiency, and equity. Focusing on front line service delivery that can directly impact health outcomes for individuals and populations, this book will be an essential guide for key stakeholders, governments, donors, health systems, and others involved in health care.

Corruption is attracting a lot of attention around the world. The paper surveys and discusses issues related to the causes, consequences, and scope of corruption and possible corrective actions. It emphasizes the costs of corruption in terms of economic growth. It also emphasizes that the fight against corruption may not be cheap and cannot be independent from the reform of the state. If certain reforms are not made, corruption is likely to continue to be a problem regardless of actions directly aimed at curtailing it.

New Jersey has long been a breeding ground for political corruption, and most of it is perfectly legal. Public officials accept favors from lobbyists, give paid positions to relatives, and rig the electoral process to favor their cronies in a system where campaign money is used to buy government results. Such unethical behavior is known as “soft corruption,” and former New Jersey legislator William E. Schluter has been fighting it for the past fifty years. In this searing personal narrative, the former state senator recounts his fight to expose and reform these acts of government misconduct. Not afraid to cite specific cases of soft corruption in New Jersey politics, he paints a vivid portrait of public servants who care more about political power and personal gain than the public good. By recounting events that he witnessed firsthand in the Garden State, he provides dramatic illustrations of ills that afflict American politics nationwide. As he identifies five main forms of soft corruption, Schluter diagnoses the state government’s ethical malaise, and offers concrete policy suggestions for how it might be cured. Not simply a dive through the muck of New Jersey politics, Soft Corruption is an important first step to reforming our nation’s political system, a book that will inspire readers to demand that our elected officials can and must do better.
