Income Investing Explained: Your Questions Answered by Henry Mah CMA
English | August 20, 2020 | ISBN: 1777241022 | 140 pages | PDF | 2.81 Mb
After writing two books about Income Investing, I have been contacted regularly by readers with questions and requests for more information. It's not often one feels compelled to write a book because of questions from readers, but that's exactly how this book came about. It's not that readers didn't understand the process I described, it's just that people wanted more details, had specific suggestions and needed more information about making investing decisions, especially during different (and difficult) market conditions. In essence, people wanted an advanced outline to build upon the process described in my earlier books. So, the purpose of this book is not to repeat the process of stock evaluation, which is the foundation of my earlier books, but to provide further explanations and examples to help when making investing decisions. -Where to find ideal stocks for Income investing-How to determine under-valued stocks-How many stocks should you hold and in which sectors?-When to sell, even your long-time good stocks-What happens and how your decisions might change during a market crisis-Is it ever too late to start investing for income?I'll also introduce a new Excel worksheet to help readers determine under-valued or expensive stocks, directing you to a new website for obtaining dividend data, and even provide a list of 45 Canadian and 35 US stocks, from which to begin your selection of quality income growth stocks. As always, these are my opinions and not professional financial advice. So, if you have the time and want to learn more, let's continue talking about Income Investing!

In Vitro Neurochemical Techniques By Martin Davies, Susan M. j. Dunn (auth.), Alan A. Boulton, Glen B. Baker, Alan N. Bateson (eds.)
1999 | 296 Pages | ISBN: 0896035093 | PDF | 22 MB
In Vitro Neurochemical Techniques is the third work updating and expanding the best-selling inaugural volume of Humana Press's warmly received Neuromethods series, General Neurochemical Techniques (vol. 1). The key techniques detailed in this new edition encompass the breadth of neurochemical and molecular neurobiology research, ranging from the isolation of neuronal genes and the study of their expression to the analysis of receptor-ligand interactions, to the characterization of the consequences of receptor activation. The methods include electrophysiological techniques to explore the functional properties of receptors present in the membranes of excitable cells, methods to isolate novel genes central to neurobiological processes, and protocols to perform in situ hybridization histochemistry. Other methods cover the measurement of changes in gene expression, the rapid identification of gene polymorphisms, and the identification and characterization of second messenger pathways. The companion volumes, In Vivo Neuromethods and Cell Neurobiology Techniques, cover both in vivo methods and in vitro cell neurobiology approaches. Like the original, all three cutting-edge works will prove exceptionally useful to those basic and clinical neuroscientists who want to expand the range of their current research or develop competence in complementary methods.

Finite-Dimensional Division Algebras over Fields By Nathan Jacobson (auth.)
1996 | 284 Pages | ISBN: 3540570292 | PDF | 8 MB
Finite-dimensional division algebras over fields determine, by the Wedderburn Theorem, the semi-simple finite-dimensio= nal algebras over a field. They lead to the definition of the Brauer group and to certain geometric objects, the Brau= er-Severi varieties. The book concentrates on those algebras that have an involution. Algebras with involution appear in many contexts;they arose first in the study of the so-called "multiplication algebras of Riemann matrices". The largest part of the book is the fifth chapter, dealing with involu= torial simple algebras of finite dimension over a field. Of particular interest are the Jordan algebras determined by these algebras with involution;their structure is discussed. Two important concepts of these algebras with involution are the universal enveloping algebras and the reduced norm.Corrections of the 1st edition (1996) carried out on behalf of N. Jacobson (deceased) by Prof. P.M. Cohn (UC London, UK).

Facebook and the (EU) Law: How the Social Network Reshaped the Legal Framework
English | 2022 | ISBN: 3031065956 | 276 Pages | PDF (True) | 5 MB
The past two decades have seen a radical change in the online landscape with the emergence of GAFAM (Google, Amazon, Facebook, Apple and Microsoft). Facebook, specifically, has acquired a unique monopoly position among social media, and is part of the digital lives of billions of users. A mutual influence between Facebook and the legal framework has gradually emerged, as EU legislators and judges are on the one hand forced to accept the reality of new, widespread behaviors and practices and on the other have constructed a legal framework that imposes limits and rules on the use of the social network.This book offers a unique perspective on this relationship, exploring the various activities and services proposed by Facebook and discussing the attendant legal issues. Accordingly, questions concerning the GDPR, its principles, rights and obligations are in the center of the discussions. However, the book does not limit its scope to data protection: Facebook has also greatly contributed to a liberalization and democratization of speech. In accordance, the classic principles of media law must be revisited, adapted or suitably enforced on the platform. Intellectual property law governs what is owned and by whom, no matter whether raw data or informational goods are concerned. Frameworks on hate speech and fake news are the result of coregulation principles of governance, whereas defamation jurisprudence continues to evolve, considering the consequences of merely "liking" certain content. The economic model of advertising is also governed by strict rules. Above all, Facebook is currently caught in a dilemma of substantial interest for society as a whole: is it a neutral online intermediary, i.e., merely a passive player on the Internet, or is it transforming against its will into an editorial service? In conclusion, the book has a dual purpose. First, it proposes a global and practical approach to the EU legal framework on Facebook. Second, it explores the current limits and the ongoing transformation of EU Internet law as it steadily adapts to life in the new digital world.

John Walsh, "Circus of Dreams: Adventures in the 1980s Literary World"
English | ISBN: 147213348X | 2022 | 432 pages | EPUB | 2 MB
Something extraordinary happened to the UK literary scene in the 1980s. In the space of eight years, a generation of young British writers took the literary novel into new realms of setting, subject matter and style, challenging - and almost eclipsing - the Establishment writers of the 1950s. It began with two names - Martin Amis and Ian McEwan - and became a flood: Julian Barnes, William Boyd, Graham Swift, Salman Rushdie, Jeanette Winterson and Pat Barker among them. The rise of the newcomers coincided with astonishing changes in the way books were published - and the ways in which readers bought them and interacted with their authors. Suddenly, authors of serious fiction were like rock stars, fashionable, sexy creatures, shrewdly marketed and feted in public.
