      "Mike, this is Kristin. Kelly and the girls were in a car accident," the recording from my answering machine says in the stillness of my home. I hold my breath and wait for the next line, telling me, ". . . but everyone is all right." It never comes. Imagine parents with two young children, the husband recently laid off, saddled with a mortgage on a brand-new house, when the family's minivan is hit and forced through an intersection by a reckless driver. Their lives are altered forever, but the family commits to each other through various hardships over fifteen years, encouraged when a pediatric neurologist calls their three-year-old daughter "the Miracle Child." In The Miracle Child: Traumatic Brain Injury and Me, Kelly and Michael Lang share their alternating and unique thoughts over the days and years following the tragic car incident that fractured their family and their lives, revealing the power of persistence, faith, acceptance, and above all, the commitment of family.

      The official 50th-anniversary book on the festival that epitomizes the '60s This is the official 50th-anniversary celebration of Woodstock, by the festival's co-creator and co-founder, Michael Lang. A large illustrated edition, it includes hundreds of photographs and documents accompanied by Lang's fascinating memories and insights into the most famous and influential festival of all time, with images of Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Crosby, Stills Nash & Young, Richie Havens, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Santana, Janis Joplin, Joan Baez, Country Joe McDonald and the Grateful Dead. The ephemera from Lang's largely unseen archive include the original designs and plans for the event, correspondence, set-lists, information on artists' fees and much more. This wealth of information is accompanied by the best photographs of the event by famous and unknown photographers such as Ralph Ackerman, John Dominis, Bill Eppridge, Dan Garson, Barry Z. Levine, Elliott Landy, Lee Marshall and Baron Wolman, and notably featuring the archive of Henry Diltz. Diltz was the only official photographer at Woodstock and was there for two weeks, from an empty field of cows to first construction, crowds arriving and the aftermath. He also captured onstage performances and behind-the-scenes moments with the many artists involved. Woodstock is an exuberant volume that conveys the vision, hard work and elusive magic that made up "three days of peace and music."

      Von verstärkter Transparenz bis zum gläsernen Steuerpflichtigen: Wie geheim sollen Steuerdaten sein? Was ist beim Verrechnungspreisdokumentationsgesetz zu beachten? Welche Auswirkungen hat die erhöhte Transparenz im Steuerrecht? Antworten auf diese Fragen und mehr finden Sie in dieser umfassenden Analyse. Country-by-Country Reporting und Mandatory Disclosure Rules prägen derzeit die Diskussionen im internationalen Steuerrecht. In Österreich wurde 2016 das Verrechnungspreisdokumentationsgesetz eingeführt, das auf einer OECD-Empfehlung basiert und Regeln für die Verrechnungspreisdokumentation sowie den internationalen Informationsaustausch festlegt. Zudem plant die EU-Kommission ein öffentliches Country-by-Country-Reporting. Die Auswirkungen dieser gesteigerten Transparenz werden sowohl aus wissenschaftlicher als auch praktischer Perspektive beleuchtet. Thematisiert werden unter anderem der automatische Austausch von Tax Rulings, die Mandatory Disclosure Rules (BEPS Action 12), und die Frage, wie geheim Steuerdaten bleiben sollen. Auch die Umsetzung des CbC-Reportings in Österreich und aktuelle Entwicklungen zu Steuerabkommen mit der Schweiz und Liechtenstein werden behandelt. Behalten Sie die aktuellen Entwicklungen im Blick.

      Tracy (1995, p. 19) highlights that the twenty-first century will see greater differences between today and tomorrow than ever before, compelling corporations to remain innovative and continuously reinvent themselves. In this context, software mastery is increasingly vital for business success (Northrop, 2008, p. 12), as software now permeates every sector and serves as a critical foundation for many organizations. Consequently, reusability has become essential in today’s fast-paced environment (Strahringer, 2003, p. 5). New paradigms in software engineering are emerging, emphasizing the reutilization and modularization of software solutions. Since 2003, software line development—originating from the automotive and fashion industries—has gained traction, allowing for broad application coverage with minimal additional costs through the reuse of a common software platform (Strahringer, 2003, p. 5). Most literature on software lines focuses on configuration and change management (Ebert & Smouts, 2003, p. 29), while the integration of software line development into product portfolios has been largely overlooked. Jeffery & Leliveld (2004) argue that the success of software lines is contingent upon their integration into companies’ product portfolio systems. This research aims to establish an integrated portfolio management system for software line development, identifying its role in organizational governance and the specific deman
