Mechanics is the science of the equilibrium and motion of bodies subject to forces. The adjective classical, hence Classical Mechanics, was added in the 20th century to distinguish it from relativistic mechanics which studies motion with speed close to light speed and quantum mechanics which studies motion at a subatomic level.

Extant scholarship argues that the extent to which Salafis politicized after 2011 was a result of the relative degree of openings that followed the 'Arab Revolutions'-from limited reform (Morocco) to full-fledged democratization (Tunisia). Based on a comparative study of Tunisia and Morocco, this paper instead explains the emergence of a politicized, post-Salafi current in both countries in terms of a dialectical relationship between opportunities and constraints emanating from not only state institutions but also societal dynamics such as public hostility and cross-ideological socialization. We argue that although many Tunisian and Moroccan Salafis chose not to engage in institutional politics in the initial years after the uprisings, their exposure to the new democratic environment-including interactions with ideological 'rivals', the use of civil liberties, and mobilization in the newly liberalized public spherefollowed by the restoration of institutional and societal constraints after 2013 have given rise to a distinct post-Salafi current. While post-Salafis remain Salafis, they distance themselves from Wahhabism, claim the legacy of national religious references (Maliki Zaytunis in Tunisia, modernist Salafis in Morocco), revise their exclusivist tendencies, and recast politics from an instrumental activity to a legitimate and valuable praxis in and of itself. This constitutes a major departure from globalized, decultured, and exclusivist Salafism towards greater indigenization.

Based on the top most companies (the biggest study on corporate reputation world-wide) this paper investigates the influence of CSR on financial performance of the company. Corporate social responsibility is measured as the summation of donation and the environmental cost which is taken from annual reports of the companies over last few years. This research study has documented that CSR influence great impact on financial performance of the companies. Also this paper shows that ITC Ltd showed a significance relation whereas Nestle Indian Ltd did not show significance relationship. Hence, through this paper it can be concluded that a significant relation may not be determined between CSR expenditure and profit after tax of companies.
The study was undertaken to analyse the alternative sources of finance for Small and Medium Scale Enterprises (SMEs) in Greater Accra Region of Ghana. It specifically identified the role of the non-banking financial institutions, particularly savings and loan companies as a reliable and alternative source of finance for SMEs in Greater Accra Region. In undertaking the research, questionnaires were distributed to one hundred and twenty (120) SME operators selected using the convenience sampling procedure of which one hundred (100) questionnaires were retrieved. A purposive sampling technique was used to select fifteen (15) savings and loan companies and questionnaires administered therefore; of which thirteen (13) of them was fully answered and retrieved. From the research, it was found out that SMEs contribute immensely to job creation and other sectors of the economy. However, the study revealed that SMEs have very limited access to deposit and credit facilities provided by formal financial institutions. The study further revealed that non-bank financial institutions like savings and loan companies have considered the neglect of SMEs' financial needs of banks as an opportunity to serve the informal sector businesses. The research also determined some of the challenges encountered by savings and loan companies in lending to SMEs which included asymmetry of information, high informal nature of business ownership and high level of managerial as well as financial illiteracy. The study concludes with some recommendations to improve credit to the SME sector by savings and loan companies. Among the recommendations were savings and loan companies should accept other forms of collateral security apart from land collateral security, train operators of SMEs on proper business practices and SMEs should improve their business management skills as well as be transparent in the providing business records and information in order to avoid information asymmetry.

SABINA BREVAGLIERI 3.2 Die Wege eines Chamäleons und dreier Bienen. Naturgeschichtliche Praktiken und Räume der politischen Kommunikation zwischen Rom und dem Darmstädter Hof zu Beginn des Dreißigjährigen Krieges. .. .. .. .

El poder del ahora es un libro para releer una y otra vez, y cada vez que lo haga, usted logrará profundizar más y encontrar nuevos significados. Muchas personas querrán estudiarlo toda la vida, pues es una guía, un curso completo de meditación y realización. Es un libro con el poder de cambiar vidas, de despertarnos para comprender p lenamente quiénes somos. El mensaje de Tolle es el mismo que Cristo y Buda enseñaron: se puede alcanzar un estado de iluminación, de realización espiritual, aquí y ahora. Es posible liberarnos del sufrimiento, de la ansiedad y la neurosis de la vida diaria. Para lograrlo sólo tenemos que llegar a comprender que la causa de nuestros problemas no son los demás, ni "el mundo de allá afuera", sino nuestra propia mente, aparentemente incapaz de concentrarse en el ahora por estar siempre pensando en el pasado y preocupándose por el futuro. Como dice Marc Allen, el editor de la edición norteamericana, en el Prefacio, "sin estar alineado con ninguna religión, doctrina o gurú particular, la enseñanza de Tolle proviene del corazón, de la esencia de todas las demás tradiciones y no contradice a ninguna de ellas. [Tolle] es capaz de hacer lo que todos los grandes maestros han hecho: mostrarnos con un lenguaje simple y claro que el camino, la verdad y la luz están dentro de nosotros". Escrito en un formato de preguntas y respuestas que lo hace muy accesible, El poder del ahora es una invitación a la reflexión, que le abrirá las puertas a la plenitud espiritual y le permitirá ver la vida con nuevos ojos y empezar a disfrutar del verdadero poder del ahora. Eckhart Tolle nació en Alemania, donde vivió hasta los trece años.
