Yet one cannot avoid boss- subordinate interactions. Every organization has a formal evaluation and appraisal system to ensure that deserving staff move up the ladder. The work culture and systems should ensure that as one grows in the hierarchy, one imbibes the set of skills and leadership abilities that are needed to do justice to the higher position. However, there are many ways people adopt to beat the system and trip their bosses. RVG, in his maiden book shares his experiences spanning three decades and deals with various boss-subordinate interactions, how people play games to deceive the system and trip their bosses, and how one can avoid the tripping points.

These people come from the growing number of multiracial families in America, families who search for places of comfort and familiarity in a racially polarized society whose educational system, places of worship, and neighborhoods continue to suffer a de facto segregation. This group has provoked an ever-widening debate and an upheaval in traditional racial thinking in the United States.
Through in-depth interviews with individuals from black—white multiracial families, and insightful sociological analysis, Heather M. Dalmage examines the challenges faced by people living in such families and explores how their experiences demonstrate the need for rethinking race in America. She examines the lived reality of race in the ways multiracial family members construct and describe their own identities and sense of community and politics.
She shows how people whose own very lives complicate the idea of the color line must continually negotiate and contest it in order not to reproduce it. Their lack of language to describe their multiracial existence, along with their experience of coping with racial ambiguity and with institutional demands to conform to a racially divided, racist system is the central theme of Tripping on the Color Line.
By connecting the stories to specific issues, such as census categories, transracial adoption, intermarriage, as well as the many social responses to violations of the color line, Dalmage raises the debate to a broad discussion on racial essentialism and social justice.
Exploring the dynamic of race as it pervades the lives of those close to the color line, Dalmage argues that the struggle for racial justice must include an understanding that race is a complex construct that is constantly shifting, and is something we do rather than something we simply are.

After an afternoon in his room stricken with the terror of damnation, seeing demons — literally -- in every corner, an Australian chap wanders out into the family garden, where he beholds a pagan wonderland in the trunk of a tree; he drops to his knees groaning in ecstasy as his dear mum and dad watch aghast from the kitchen window.

Tripping and slipping cases form a large part of the typical personal injury lawyer's practice. However, not all cases are straightforward; many involve complex questions of law. This book covers all the legal disciplines that can come into play in a tripping or slipping case in the UK - local government, landlord and tenant, occupier's liability, highways, health and safety at work, and so on.
It gives detailed guidance on the applicable UK law, procedure, and practice. The book contains a library of precedents, from checklists and letters through to Statements of Case.
Most of the relevant guidelines are included as appendices, and the facts and principles of the key cases often contained in inaccessible law reports are distilled into case summaries. John senses he is different but not in a good way and knows he has big shoes to fill.
