Secular
variations of geomagnetic field

Variability
of geomagnetic field in time and in a wide range of periods – from minutes to
hundreds and thousands of years reflects a complicated of physico – chemical
phenomena in the core, lithosphere, ionosphere and magnetosphere of the earth,
to investigate modern geodynamic processes at different depths, from the
surface layers of the earth*s crust to the core of the earth, data on
geomagnetic variations with the periods over 1 year, the so – called secular
variations (SV), are widely used. In general, geomagnetic field variations can
be considered as a vector sum of the fields from different sources. In the
spatial structure of secular variations of geomagnetic field there are
distinctly distinguished global, regional and local components. Global
peculiarities or focuses of SV embrace areas of thousands of kilometers and
have their sources in the earth*s core. Regional and local effects are
determined by modern physico – chemical, geodynamic and electromagnetic phenomena
in the earth*s crust and upper mantle.



The existing
chain of magnetic observatories on the territory of Europe
allows to study in details the global and regional effects in SV. The local
anomalies of SV or the so – called tectomagnetic effects were studied, as a
rule, in geodynamic and seismoprognostic testing grounds.

1. Мы хотели купить собственный отдельный дом, хотели, чтобы был большой сад и озеро, но денег нам хватило только на половину дома.
2. Газон перед домом — гордость всех англичан. Газон тщательно стригут и высаживают по дорожкам розы.
3. Прихожая была тёмная и мрачная, и я решила, что нужно переклеить обои — подобрать более светлые.
4. Длинный коридор заканчивался лестницей, ведущей на второй этаж.
5. В Европе мало кто живёт в многоквартирных домах. Большинство людей являются собственниками домов в пригородах.
6. В английских домах количество комнат может быть разным, но традиционно всегда есть небольшая прихожая, кухня, столовая, гостиная, ванная, туалет, пара кладовок, одна или несколько спален.
7. В домах, где есть дети, желательно сделать детскую. Там должна быть особая мебель и хорошее освещение.
8. К гостиной примыкает столовая, которая, в свою очередь, соединена с кухней.
9. Нужно покрыть кафелем не только стены в ванной и туалете, но и ту стену на кухне, где расположена раковина, а то будет видна вся грязь. С краски её смыть не так легко, как с кафеля.
10. Я предпочитаю электрическую плиту газовой — её гораздо легче мыть, да и вытяжка не очень нужна.
11. На полках я храню фаянсовую посуду, а в этих ящичках — столовые приборы. Запоминай, что куда класть.
12. Комната так заставлена мебелью, что трудно подойти к окну.
13. У Гаррисонов очень просторная четырёхкомнатная квартира в центре города. Она прекрасно отделана и обставлена.
14. Надо бы сделать ремонт — подновить потолки, настелить паркет вместо линолеума и поклеить моющиеся обои.
15. Такие яркие цветастые занавески не годятся для спальни. Нужно выбрать расцветку поспокойней.
16. Это комнатное растение у окна загораживает свет. Переставь его в угол.
17. Мы живём в этом девятиэтажном доме. Район нам не нравится, хотелось бы куда-нибудь переехать.
18. Я не смогла бы жить в деревне, так как не могу обходиться без удобств — водопровода, горячей воды, мусоропровода, центрального отопления, телефона.
19. Все гостиные в наших квартирах похожи одна на другую — стенка, журнальный столик, диван и кресла, телевизор и стереосистема.
20. В Англии никогда не вешают ковры на стены, их кладут только на пол.

Gerzon believes that conflict exists in nearly every part of life. Conflict can occur when people work together. Leaders need to understand only one part of the company. Twentieth-century leaders rarely accepted responsibility for their mistakes. People who disagree with management feared they will lose their jobs. Good mediators are likely to be respected by staff. Using mediation to resolve conflict takes time. A competitive team needs one good leader.

Understand your team and the rest is easy

Mark Gerzon, author of «Leading Through Conflict: How Successful Leaders Transform Differences into Opportunities», has noticed that most things in life involve conflict.

Some of these conflicts emerge when people come together from different backgrounds where views, cultures and beliefs may not be shared by their colleagues. Today some 63,000 companies are operating internationally, employing 90 million people and responsible for a quarter of the world's gross national product.

'We simply cannot manage a whole company, a whole community, and certainly not a whole planet, with leaders who identify with only one part.' he writes. He therefore believes that future corporate leaders will need to be experts in mediation rather than the controlling style of leaders which was apparent during the 20th century.

These controlling leaders always blamed someone else for failures and achieved success only because employees were frightened of losing their jobs. Sadly such methods still exist in some companies. Similarly, people who question management in companies where employee morale is very low are seen as trouble makers and are often dismissed by the company. But suppose they have a point? Trouble makers are likely to respect a leader with good mediation skills because they feel that someone is listening to their complaints.

One problem with mediation in leadership is that it takes time, something this highly competitive world has little of. That is why the most competitive teams need individuals who are all capable of leadership. People need to talk all the time about their various tasks and work towards the same objective, and any conflicts should be managed in a way that does not disrupt the harmony of the team.

passing them, dropped coins into the cap.
One day, when the weather was very cold, the man was playing for a long time, but nobody wanted to give him anything. The poor man thought that he would have to go to bed without supper. He was so tired and so weak that he stopped playing.
At that moment a young man came uр to him and asked him why he stopped playing. The blind man said he had played for two hours but nobodyr had given him anything. "Give me your violin. I shall help you", said the man. And with these words he began to play. He played so well that people began to gather and soon there was a big crowd. Everybody was eager to listen to the fine music and to thank the young man for the pleasure.
Soon the cap was full of money.
"I don't know how to thank you", said the blind man. "Who are you?"
"I am Paganini", was the answer.
