The Foundations of Investing (2nd Edition) was written to provide investors with a baseline from which they can make more informed, higher-impact decisions. This book explores structural corporate finance concepts that are critical to know before one can perform thorough due diligence. For example, many people understand investing in a general sense, such as "I will put money in this company, and I want it back with a profit." But what, exactly, are you purchasing when you make an investment? Why is the company offering an investment opportunity in the first place? Where is your money going (hint: it's often not to the company!)? The Foundations of Investing discusses key ideas, such as: - Public vs. private companies - Why some businesses pay dividends, while others don't - Investors' rights or lack thereof - Debt vs. equity investments - What "securities" are and why that matters - Investment funds

"Confessions of a Crime Scene Investigator" chronicles the career of New York State Police Crime Scene Unit Investigator Bill Moloney. 26 of Moloney's 30 years were spent responding to and investigating the scenes of every imaginable way a life can be taken. It is a gritty, dirty, and sobering profession that reflects none of the glamour so often highlighted on television. Story after story paints the picture of a satisfying, yet unpleasant and frequently stomach-turning job that will make you laugh, cry and cheer.But "Confessions" goes beyond the telling of funny, sad and heroic anecdotes. Its graphic depictions of daily life in the crime scene world uncover profound revelations on how we should live life. Yes, being around so much death can teach us so very much about life and how to live it!Bill Moloney has been a member of the state's busiest crime scene unit since 1989. As a forensic investigator, he has responded to thousands of crime scenes, testified as an expert in high profile cases, taught crime scene investigation to fellow law enforcement officials, been recognized for outstanding crime scene service, and worked with world renowned professionals like Dr. Michael Baden and Dr. Henry Lee. The New York StatePolice promoted him to the rank of Senior Investigator and supervisor of this decorated crime scene unit. Recent retirement from the State Police has afforded him the opportunity to tell his remarkable story.

Fun and whimsical children"s book written and illustrated by Charlene Rivers.

One day in the early dawn, a distinguished mandarin was leaving the temple of the City God. It was his duty to visit this temple on the first and fifteenth of the moon, whilst the city was still asleep, to offer incense and adoration to the stern-looking figure enshrined within.This mandarin was Shih-Kung, and a juster or more upright official did not exist in all the fair provinces of the Empire. Wherever his name was mentioned it was received with the profoundest reverence and respect; for the Chinese people have never lost their ideal of Tien-Li, or Divine Righteousness. This ideal is still deeply embedded in the hearts of high and low, rich and poor; and the homage of all classes, even of the most depraved is gladly offered to any man who conspicuously displays this heavenly virtue.As Shih-Kung was being carried along in his sedan chair, with his numerous retinue following closely behind him, he happened to notice a young woman walking in the road in front of him, and began to wonder what it was that had brought her out at such an unusually early hour. She was dressed in the very deepest mourning, and so after a little more thought he concluded that she was a widow who was on her way to the grave of her late husband to make the usual offerings to his spirit.All at once a sudden, furious whirlwind screamed about the woman and seemed determined to spend its force upon her; but beyond her nothing was touched by it. Not a leaf on the trees near by was moved, and not a particle of dust on the road, except just where she stood, was in the least agitated by the fierce tempest that for the moment raged around her.

Agotada la segunda edición Juan Carlos De Petre presenta esta tercera edición a los constantes interesados en indagar sobre el proceso creador. Las palabras evocadas en este libro, responden a la misma Génesis teatral de su autor: la aspiración de alcanzar la paradoja del Creador: "lo imposible es la posibilidad". De allí que leer esta obra supone, de manera idéntica, posesionarse del rol del espectador, del testigo de la creación dramática de De Petre.

De nos jours, la poésie est devenue un mode d'expression inaccessible pour la majorité de la société. Cet ouvrage est donc une présentation de textes intimes et personnels qui tentent de rapprocher le lecteur du monde poétique en reniant les pratiques communes du milieu. La rime, les vers et autres contraintes exigeantes sont laissées de côté au profit de la valeur des mots et des images qu'ils créent. Cherchant à faire réfléchir, rire, choquer et surtout à démontrer au monde que la poésie n'est pas morte, l'auteur se met à nu dans une série de textes billingues qui démontrent que l'on a pas besoin de porter d'étranges lunettes et de boire de la fine bière de microbrasserie à la coriandre pour apprécier la poésie.

Sadie Lee, Roxana Halls and Sarah Jane Moon are figurative artists whose queer identities inform much of their work. They produce paintings that deploy the tropes and techniques of representational art to striking effect. In an era where artists routinely insist on their subversiveness and the interrogation of sexual and gender norms is a mainstream endeavour, this group invites aesthetic as well as ideological scrutiny. These gay women make bold, alluring, witty and deft work which disavows any antagonism between politics and pleasure. Indeed, their show's title, 'Threesome' makes a cooly sardonic reference to the voyeuristic aspect of lesbian representation: any eroticism in these works is strictly intentional. 'Threesome is a refreshing smack in the face - women's unashamed sexuality, strength, depth and vibrance - of women, by women. Beautiful.' Yasmin Hashmi, founder member of the Women's Equality Party

History of Photography, prediction of the invention of photography, 1700s

Today, Kendall Square is known for its ties to MIT as a place for innovation and research; but it became a center for invention and manufacturing during the Second Industrial Revolution, between 1880 and 1930, making machines to eliminate much of the hand labor found in making candy, baked goods, Soaps, and packaging materials.

Surah al-Fati¿ah (Arabic: ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿) is the first chapter (surah) of the Quran. Its seven verses (ayat) are a prayer for the guidance, lordship and mercy of God. This chapter has an essential role in Islamic prayer (salat). The primary literal meaning of the expression "al-Fati¿ah" is "The Opener," which could refer to this Surah being "the opener of the Book" (Fati¿at al-kitab), to its being the first Surah recited in full in every prayer cycle (rak¿ah), or to the manner in which it serves as an opening for many functions in everyday Islamic life. Some Muslims interpret it as a reference to an implied ability of the Surah to open a person to faith in God.The name al-Fati¿ah ("the Opener or the opening") is due to the subject-matter of the surah. Fati¿ah is that which opens a subject or a book or any other thing. In other words, a sort of preface.The word ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿ came from the root word ¿¿¿ which means to open, explain, disclose, keys of treasure etc. That means sura Al-Fatiha is the summary of the whole Quran. That is why we recite another Ayat or sura along with Fatiha in our prayers. That is, sura Al-Fatiha is paired with rest of the whole Quran.It is also called Umm Al-Kitab ("the Mother of the Book") and Umm Al-Quran ("the Mother of the Quran"); Sab'a al Mathani ("Seven repeated [verses]", an appellation taken from verse 15:87 of the Quran); Al-Hamd ("praise"), because a hadith narrates Muhammad as having said that GOD says: "The prayer [al-F¿ti¿ah] is divided into two halves between Me and My servants. When the servant says, 'All praise is due to God', the Lord of existence, God says, 'My servant has praised Me'."; Al-Shifa' ("the Cure"), because a hadith narrates Muhammad as having said: "The Opening of the Book is a cure for every poison."; Al-Ruqyah ("remedy" or "spiritual cure")., and al-Asas, "The Foundation", referring to its serving as a foundation for the entire Quran.
