The Assertion Reaction Paradigm first proposed by J.P. Hollings January 2009 is concerned with the relationship between assertion and the associated reaction in upward management. The Paradigm is a tool to help moderate over reaction in hierarchical management structure where assertion is used at the lower levels to manipulate the upper levels.
Explanation
If body (a) seeks to manage body (b), but body (a) is positioned below body (b) in the management hierarchy that body must be aware that over assertion will lead to a reaction or backlash. The Assertion Reaction Paradigm keeps balance between assertiveness and a predicted level of reaction from the upper levels of the hierarchy. It is important that a given assertion does not tip the balance and lead to a negative over reaction. Using simple techniques to predict and gauge a reaction the assertion can be tailored to a particular scenario or individual with the ultimate aim of extracting maximum gain.
Example
Mr X wants to book a holiday at short notice, but his line manager Mr Y keeps a tight control on the holiday roster and does not like short notice bookings which might compromise the performance of his department. Mr X must assert him self if he is to be successful in securing his booking, but at the same time must be mindful of the likely reaction from Mr Y. By predicting the likely reaction from Mr Y, Mr X can plan his assertion carefully and pre-empt Mr Y's reaction, thus extracting maximum gain from the situation.

The Parallel-idiosyncratic-perception Theory
The Parallel-idiosyncratic-perception Theory was devised by L.L.Desailly in 2009. In this theory everyone has a different perception of the universe, but when we commute a view of our version of the universe to another person in either text or speech the information is flipped around to suit that individual’s perception of the universe making the statement make sense and be comprehensible in their form of communication and/or text.
Examples:
1) One person with a two foot arm with a joint at the one foot mark perceives a green garbage bin as a green garbage bin and makes a reference to it to another person with a 4 foot arm with the joint at the 2 foot mark they may see it as a purple rock with a hole in it used for a similar purpose but the information is flipped by the person’s mind to make it make sense to them.
2) If the person who sees it as the green garbage bin reaches out to touch it with their arm and the other person does the same thing with theirs they will both have the information changed by their subconscious to make it seem as though the other person is reaching out with the same sized arm and touching it at the same time but in actual fact the person with the 4 foot arm would be getting there first. This is fixed by the other person’s subconscious changing the circumstances i.e. by making the other person just be slower at reaching out their arm or changing the reach out speed of their own arm to match the other’s. But no matter what the action will appear the same for both people.
3) If a person aware of this idea asks 400 people who he sees about an objects appearance they will all suit his perception of the object because the information he and they receive from each other will be flipped to their perception of the universe making everything seem normal.
The only things in the universes that stay the same or similar are basic concepts of ideas or actions and terrain to a certain degree (land forms may vary) and nothing. If there is nothing in a place of one universe it will be the same in the others. If nothing is used a medium for direct communication between two people universes it will not work because if you use nothing to say something it becomes something and there for gets translated.
In each persons universe they could appear as anything as long as it takes the form of a biped or a life form with similar amounts of limbs organs etc but when they see another person their image is changed by their subconscious to suit their perception of the universe so everything appears normal.
The way that the mind flips what we are being told of another persons perception is the same as the way the mind flips our vision from being upside down to upright if this did not happen we would see everything upside down.
The Parallel-idiosyncratic-perception Theory is a Theory and can be neither proven nor disproven

From 2009 onwards the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Lincoln book submissions will be at a peak. According to one cataloguer, President Lincoln is about the fourth most popular subject ever written about after Jesus Christ, Shakespeare, and the Virgin Mary. A New York publisher wrote that a surefire bestseller would be a book about Abraham Lincoln but there would have to be something new to say. If that litmus test were applied to most of the rush of books, it is likely that there would only be various forms of retreads of the Lincoln anthology. Now it is not to say that the Lincoln story isn’t interesting because it is. It’s like the same story being told by different people. It is often entertaining but rarely new. Most of what has been written about Abraham Lincoln that would register as truly new comes from the period between 1850 and 1912. In fact, if one goes back to the many Lincoln books that are now in the public domain, it’s the likes of Carpenter, Tarbell, Sandburg, Crook, Herndon, etc. and the basic writings of Lincoln himself that make up the core of the Lincoln anthology.
Some people point to David Herbert Donald as the quintessential Lincoln author. In Lincoln (1995) Donald takes the aforementioned source books and restates their efforts in his slightly varied style. It is not new either in release or in historical information, but it did win a Pulitzer.
The descendants of the Meserve legacy, the Kunhardts follow up their Abraham Lincoln book and mini-series of eight years past with a new effort for the Bicentennial, “Looking for Lincoln: The Making of an American Icon”. It is slick and tries to capture the essence of the period with photographs. A four hour miniseries is set for PBS for next year based on the book. It seems that the idea is to frame the reworking of the Lincoln legend into a Civil War and 19th century motif. The most obvious recapitulation is the almost wholesale presentation of the thumbnail view of all the black and white Lincoln photographs at the back of the book. It has been done before by Lloyd Ostendorf in his books "Abraham Lincoln, Every Known Photograph” and “Lincoln’s Photographs - A Complete Album”. Maybe because Lloyd Ostendorf is no longer around to defend his presentation it seemed like a good idea, so why not use it. Nothing truly new here though.
One book that does bring an unusual and novel approach to the Lincoln legacy is “Color of Lincoln” being released on the Bicentennial birthday of Lincoln. Bryan Eaton has faithfully reproduced the Abraham Lincoln pictures and photographs in full color. While most of the Abraham Lincoln photographs do not survive in their original form, the colorization process has revitalized the Lincoln photographic album. While the original black and whites have been restored in most cases and then turned into realistic color photos, the Color of Lincoln still retains artifacts like Samuel Aschuler’s thumbprint mistake on the Lincoln portrait of 1858. It is not only the photo that is refreshing, but the essence of the information. The chapter on Gettysburg is vivid in its ability to place the reader in the scene. After reading it, one realizes that every reenactment of the Gettysburg Address is wrong and the event is captured here from the boards squeaking beneath Lincoln’s feet, to his elongated pauses and tears at the end of the address. If one wants something new, if it is only the pictorial renditions,this Abraham Lincoln book is worth viewing.
“Giants: The Parallel Lives of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln” was written by John Stauffer, a professor of American civilization at Harvard University. Stauffer brings last year’s Lincoln Prize winning book to the Bicentennial focusing on the interaction of two men famous in their day and how the issue of race clouded their first meeting and influenced their professional interactions in the 1860s. The intricacies of race relations and the struggle for Emancipation plays out in the interactions between these two famous men and their path from adversaries to respectful acquaintance.
Eminent Lincoln scholar Harold Holzer is the most prolific of the Lincoln authors. In his latest work “Lincoln President-elect : Abraham Lincoln and the Great Secession Winter 1860-1861, Mr. Holzer shows Lincoln’s campaign to hold secession and the growth of slavery in check in the few areas left after his election. During this most dangerous time, with the White House in transition, the ineffectiveness of President Buchanan and the president-elect, Lincoln with no constitutional authority, Lincoln used the future ascendency to the bully pulpit as a tool to limit the worst possible outcome of his election. The focus on the role of a President-Elect shows that while Lincoln’s pragmatic side acknowledged the almost inevitable nature of the secession, his optimism and personal efforts were toward the preservation of the Union and the limitation of the escalation of slavery. Lincoln’s transformation into a Presidential figure is captured with clarity and precision under the masterful guidance of Mr. Holzer. Mr. Holzer has captured in print the blueprint of a President-elect that seems to have been followed by President-elect Obama In 2008.
Finally, although it is not new for the Bicentennial, Doris Kearns Goodwin created a novel approach to the retelling of previously published history. Bringing together the Lincoln cabinet from its days of competition for the office of the President to the interactions of the nineteenth century Cabinet of Lincoln, Ms. Goodwin has done that novel thing that can only be imitated. Much like Ken Burn’s introduction of the pan and scan documentary, Ms. Goodwin’s in depth personal analyses of men and their interactions at all levels is a masterful approach that will be referenced using the “Team of Rivals” as the primary identifier of this multi-faceted analysis of political environments.
If one is going to examine the Lincoln literary works during the , it is best go back to the source or look for something completely new.

A game played in the class rooms of the USA, boy scouts, or those who may seek the glory of making the impossible shot. Trashball is a ball or sphere piece of newspaper rolled up and taped together, a tennis ball, or nerf ball which is shot from certain distances into an empty wastebasket.
Eytmology
Trashball comes from the word "Trash" which is things thrown into the garbage and the word "ball" which is an aerodynamic sphere that can be thrown, kicked, or launched quite a long distance.
General Rules
#Only 1 person must be up behind a piece of tape on the ground to show what point they are trying to make.
#There must be at least 3 pieces of tape on the ground at least 10 feet away from the wastebasket.
#The wastebasket must be against a wall or something that can hold it up from tipping it over.
#The person must shoot the ball into the wastebasket if not the other people playing trashball will have a chance to shoot the trashball into the basket.
Classroom Rules
#On the event of a Review game, the person who correctly answers the Teacher's question receives 1 shot from that correct answer.
#There are 3 pieces of tape on the ground that are 8-10 feet away from each other and at least 5-6 from the wastebasket to the first piece of tape.
#The person that gets the answer right must shoot the trashball from behind the tape with any style they please.
#If the person makes the shot depending from what tape they were behind that is how much extra credit point(s) they receive on their quiz/test.
##The tape goes from Tape 1-Tape 3 according from closest away to farthest away. The tape number they shoot from and score from, must be accounted for on their quiz/test.
#If the person does not make the shot they must return to their seat and wait to be called on in a certain order again.
#This game is not played on for a winner, but to gain extra credit points for a quiz/test.
Boyscout Rules
#Everyone stands in a circle around the wastebasket, facing inward.
A scout tries to make a basket.
:If he makes a basket, his patrol gets 1 point.
:If he misses, his patrol loses 3 points. But, he can get those three points back by immediately doing 3 sit-ups, 3 push-ups, or running 1 lap around the circle of scouts.
#First patrol to a specified score is the winner.
#An unbiased leader by the wastebasket could help retrieve the ball and toss it to the next scout.
