The Mindful Investor: How a Calm Mind Can Bring You Inner Peace and Financial Security - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Money. The word itself has a power of its own. It can inducefeelings and start a train of thought instantly. Unfortunately,often these feelings and thoughts are negative and stressful.We believe that achieving a healthy relationship with moneyis necessary because it’s attached, in some way, to almost everyaspect of our lives. In reality most people have enough money,even after the recent market collapse. What they don’t have isthe level of calm, clarity, focus, and equanimity required tolive peacefully with money. Mindfulness can help achieve it.We will focus a great deal on equanimity throughout the book,and while the term may seem unfamiliar, it simply meansaccepting your thoughts and feelings without judgment, whichallows you to maintain balance.
You and Your Arrhythmia: A Guide to Heart Rhythm Problems for Patients & Their Families - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Cardiac arrhythmias are among our most common afflictions. Usuallythey have little clinical importance and present no risk to the life ofpatients who have them. Occasionally, however, they can produce trou-blesome symptoms and may even bring about the patient’s death.*Arrhythmias produce rapid, slow, or irregular heartbeats of whichsome patients may be acutely conscious, whereas others may beunaware. Explaining what arrhythmias are and how doctors treatthem—when that is necessary—is the purpose of this book.First I explain the anatomy and physiology of the heart, particularlyof the electrical components that give rise to arrhythmias.Then I describe most of the arrhythmias that patients maydevelop. Each chapter has been built around the experiences of apatient for whom the author or one his colleagues has cared. In somecases, I have changed the stories slightly to facilitate understandingand to avoid confusing the picture with issues that the doctors mighthave needed to consider but are unrelated to the topic being dis-cussed. In the next section, I explain how cardiologists use drugs andixPreface* For a more comprehensive discussion of the subject, some readers may want to con-sult the author’s text Arrhythmias (Philadelphia, W.B. Saunders, 2000).devices such as pacemakers and implantable defibrillators to treatarrhythmias.I then invite the reader to take a short course in electrocardiography,for it is this familiar test that we use to diagnose arrhythmias and evaluatethe effects of treatment. The reader will find electrocardiograms of someof the arrhythmias discussed in the case reports to see how cardiologistsrecognize which arrhythmia is which.The analysis of arrhythmias has, in recent decades, become so complexthat a subspecialty of cardiology has developed for those who study thissubject. Some call the practitioners of this art arrhythmologists, a name thatno reader of this book is required to learn. Many arrhythmologists work incardiac electrophysiology laboratories, large rooms filled with electroniccomputerized equipment where the details of patients’ arrhythmias arestudied and appropriate treatments are planned and instituted. By describ-ing what goes on in these laboratories, I will try to relieve some of the con-cern that patients who undergo these procedures may have and dispelsome of the mystery about what those working in these laboratories aredoing.
Homeowners Association and You (You and Your Homeowner's Association) - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Homeowners Association and You is designed as an informationresource and a practical guide for solving problems regardingAssociations. The book is presented in three parts. The first partaddresses how the Community and its Association are structured.The second part provides an overview of the legal issues theAssociation confronts and what to do about them. The third partaddresses how the Community is managed and the part you canplay—whether as a knowledgeable resident, Committee member, orBoard member—in improving its operation and success.The chapters are laid out by major topic areas—those thateveryone must know something about. Within the chapters, eachsubject area is discussed in detail with questionnaires, checklists, andforms provided. The appendices provide you with additionalresources and information to assist you as you go forward.EVALUATING THE COMMUNITYThe questionnaires and checklists are evaluation and improvementtools for determining the state of your Community and yourAssociation. They can and should be used more than once. That way,you can track your progress based on the point at which you started.Even more, the questionnaires and checklists will provide you withthe opportunity to develop a vision for your Community. No matterwhere you live or in what type of Community, each resident has a pic-ture of how that Community should look, feel, and operate. The eval-uations allow you to determine how you are progressing toward thatINTRODUCTIONvision, where there are opportunities for improvement, and whatactions should be taken so that the vision can and does become reality.As you read through the book, you may want to gather a groupof other residents to join you in completing some of the evaluations.If you are a member of the Board, you may want to arrange a spe-cial session to discuss the evaluations and the Board’s vision for theCommunity.You may decide to get alternative views from non-Board orCommittee members—in effect, the silent majority of residents—about how they see the Community and its operations. Think of itas an informal focus group. Marketing companies do it all the timeto make sure that they are on the right track. Why not use a triedand true technique for getting as much input as possible?The main thing in using the questionnaires and checklists is tobe as honest and objective as possible. It is very rare that everythingis perfect or perfectly awful. Most situations are a combination ofwhat you want and what you are surprised to find—for the goodand the bad. So when you use the evaluations, use them one at atime, take your time in answering them, and consider the answerscarefully before you decide to take action.
The Body in Action: You Can Keep Your Joints Young - PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: The other day I was driving at dawn along one of Sydney’s forest-fringed outer highways. It was one of those leafy dappled mornings ofhigh summer with the occasional shaft of sunlight bursting throughthe greenery and making explosions of light wherever it landed. In themiddle, cleaving its way through the foliage, ran my highway; a duskyblue thread of bitumen blending and becoming as one with thewaking forest. As I rounded a corner I came upon a cyclist meander-ing at ease across the nearside lane of the roadway. I hung back tolook because his actions had a compelling quality of beauty to them;a languid mark of excellence that made me want to stay and watchrather than speed on past. I kept my distance, watching transfixed ashe acted out in front of me a perfect virtuoso performance of coordi-nated movement.

If You're Not First, You're Last: Sales Strategies to Dominate Your Market and Beat Your Competition - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: The Importance of FirstAlthough the concept of first or last may sound unfair anddifficult to accept for some, in the real world—regardlessof your business or career—first place is the only place thatmatters. It’s a position that allows you to weather all storms,gets you extra attention, and has the competition chasingyou—rather than the other way around. But let’s face it: ifyou didn’t compromise on any point, you would certainlyrather the position of first than any other, right? Given thechoice between first and any other position, we all knowwhat’s preferable.Unlike systems or cultures where everyone getsrewarded for just participating and regardless of theirefforts, abilities, or even the score—the only positionthat ultimately makes sense in business—and the onethat earns the greatest rewards—is, of course, first. If youaren’t in the dominant position in your market, then youare at risk. When economies are abound with business, thecompany in first position continues to gain customers andexpand its size and presence while the weaker players ekeout increasingly smaller gains, helped along solely by thevi INTRODUCTIONrich nature of the market. However, when these profitabletimes wane, the dominant company benefits from its first-place position and grabs market share away from all theother contenders while those in every other position paythe price.Merriam-Webster’s defines the word first as “pre-ceding all others in time, order, or importance.” Beingfirst to the market is not as important as being numberone in your category; you don’t necessarily have to bethe company introducing a product to be the best choicein the buyer’s mind. Order and importance are muchmore vital here than time. There is also a big differencebetween being first and third in Google search results, asevidenced by companies like first-place Intel and second-place Advanced Micro. As of December 2009, Intel hadearned $32.7 billion in revenue and had $13 billion incash, whereas Advanced Micro had $4.92 billion in rev-enues and $2.5 billion in cash. And consider the competi-tion between Barack Obama and John McCain. Only afew points separated a name that has made history. Again,Barack was not first to the market; he actually came 30years after his opponent and had much less experience.Yet he managed to win not just the number one spot, butthe most powerful position in the world.So quit compromising and being “reasonable.” Let’sget you fighting—every minute of every day—for thenumber one spot in your business. You want to be on topwhen the market is great and take market share when itis not.
Cinderella Was a Liar: The Real Reason You Cant Find (or Keep) a Prince - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: ecently my girlfriends and I uncorked severalbottles of wine, sat back, and shared our deepest secrets,best advice, and most candid opinions about men,love, dating, and relationships. We werehaving quite the little pity-party when itoccurred to me that we were all complaining about the samething: no man was living up to our sky-high ideals. Not eventhe “good” ones. “Where in the hell is my prince?” my girl-friend yelled. We all laughed, but then the room fell silent, andsoon the smiles faded.It was a question we’d been asking ourselves since we firstgot that woozy feeling when our favorite boy walked by in gradeschool. And here we were, in our late twenties and thirties, stillwaiting for answers to come trotting in on a beautiful, whitestallion.The Fairy Tale That Started It AllSo, where in the heck did this fascination with the ultimateromance come from anyway? When did we start believing inthe idea of a perfect man who would swoop into our lives andeliminate the negatives? Well, for me it was at the age of fourwhen my great-aunt Vyvian introduced me to a saucy chick bythe name of Cinderella.

Building Organizational Memories: Will You Know What You Knew? (Premier Reference Source) - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Much has been written about how organizations create and exchange knowledge to achieve a competitiveadvantage. To date most researchers have concentrated on the present and how organizational leadersmay use knowledge to create value today. This book builds on the many great works in the knowledgemanagement domain; however, it is unique in that the focus will be on what leaders should be doingnow (or soon) to ensure the next generation of organizational leaders know what they knew.The following is a real-world example of why this area of research is important; there are many morereasons articulated in the pages ahead. During an interview on CBS News on September 11, 2006, NewYork Fire Department Deputy Fire Chief John Norman described the unfathomable loss of life of theDepartment’s Special Operations Command five years earlier. On that tragic day, September 11, 2001,Special Operations Command lost 95 men – totaling 1600 years of experience. This is simply unimagi-nable when one considers this specialized unit pioneered techniques for urban rescue and terrorist at-tacks. Surely, it would be impossible to reconstitute the unique and vital knowledge of these brave men.Au contraire, Norman’s team proved that they had plans in place to quickly rebuild their team and onceagain become the best in world. Five years later the knowledge loss was virtually unnoticeable as theteam responded to 50 calls (Pitts, 2006).This story is not meant to demean the heartbreaking loss of very brave men, but rather it is to com-memorate the outstanding leadership, courage, and culture of a team that would not give up. Fortunately,most organizations do not have to suffer the tragic loss that Norman described, but perhaps we can learnfrom their tragedy. Virtually all organizations must deal with organizational memory loss to varyingdegrees. Could your organization rebuild from such devastation?Regrettably, organizational memory loss is not new, consider:One horrible day 1,600 years ago, the wisdom of many centuries went up in flames. The great libraryin Alexandria burned down, a catastrophe at the time and a symbol for all ages of the vulnerability ofhuman knowledge. The tragedy forced scholars to grope to reconstruct a grand literature and sciencethat once lay neatly cataloged in scrolls. (E. Linden, 1991)The message is clear; organizations must develop a strategy to maintain the intellectual capital thatmakes them unique. To be sure, most organizations cannot capture all of their tacit and explicit knowl-edge; however, that is not necessary and perhaps not even desirable. Rather organizational leaders mustput in place the tools and techniques to ensure that mission critical knowledge is maintained for thenext generationآیا کتاب مورد نظر هنوز بر روی سایت قرار نگرفته است؟ جای نگرانی نیست! کافی است بر روی گزینه سفارش کتاب کلیک کرده و درخواست خود را ثبت کنید. در کمتر از چند ساعت کتاب شما را آماده خواهیم کرد.
