An investment approach that unlocks the secret of market patterns Based on over forty years of combined author experience as portfolio managers and financial advisors, Divorcing the Dow presents a timely framework for understanding and investing in market cycles. Authors Jim Troup and Sharon Michalsky believe that the Dow Jones Industrial Average is no longer a relevant indicator of market performance; in fact, they feel that watching the Dow may actually obscure indications that the financial markets are poised to experience a boom that dwarfs anything seen before. Based on in-depth research and field-tested in their own successful management of millions of dollars in personal and corporate assets, Divorcing the Dow introduces investors to a revolutionary paradigm for assessing the markets and making investment decisions. Troup and Michalsky's approach focuses on analyzing patterns of productivity as a way to anticipate market cycles and investment potential-and with this book they've outlined how investors can begin to recognize these patterns themselves. Divorcing the Dow provides investors with a new framework for thinking about financial markets and gives readers specific investment techniques to anticipate the market's direction and identify companies poised for sustained productivity and long-term growth. Jim Troup (Sarasota, FL) is First Vice President, Financial Consultant, Portfolio Manager, and Corporate Client Group Director at Smith Barney. A twenty-four-year finance veteran, Troup has worked with leading investment firms including E.F. Hutton and Merrill Lynch, and lectures extensively on portfolio management and asset allocation. SHARON MICHALSKY is First Vice President, Financial Consultant, Portfolio Manager, Corporate Client Group Director at Smith Barney, where she began her career nineteen years ago.

Praise for Don't Count On It! «This collection of Jack Bogle's writings couldn't be more timely. The clarity of his thinking—and his insistence on the relevance of ethical standards—are totally relevant as we strive to rebuild a broken financial system. For too many years, his strong voice has been lost amid the cacophony of competing self-interests, misdirected complexity, and unbounded greed. Read, learn, and support Jack's mission to reform the industry that has been his life's work.» —PAUL VOLCKER, Chairman of the President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board and former Chairman of the Federal Reserve (1979–1987) «Jack Bogle has given investors throughout the world more wisdom and plain financial 'horse sense' than any person in the history of markets. This compendium of his best writings, particularly his post-crisis guidance, is absolutely essential reading for investors and those who care about the future of our society.» —ARTHUR LEVITT, former Chairman, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission «Jack Bogle is one of the most lucid men in finance.» —NASSIM N.TALEB, PhD, author of The Black Swan «Jack Bogle is one of the financial wise men whose experience spans the post–World War II years. This book, encompassing his insights on financial behavior, pitfalls, and remedies, with a special focus on mutual funds, is an essential read. We can only benefit from his observations.» —HENRY KAUFMAN, President, Henry Kaufman & Company, Inc. «It was not an easy sell. The joke at first was that only finance professors invested in Vanguard's original index fund. But what a triumph it has been. And what a focused and passionate drive it took: it is a zero-sum game and only costs are certain. Thank you, Jack.» —JEREMY GRANTHAM, Cofounder and Chairman, GMO «On finance, Jack Bogle thinks unconventionally. So, this sound rebel turns out to be right most of the time. Meanwhile, many of us sometimes engage in self-deception. So, this book will set us straight. And in the last few pages, Jack writes, and I agree, that Peter Bernstein was a giant. So is Jack Bogle.» —JEAN-MARIE EVEILLARD, Senior Adviser, First Eagle Investment Management Insights into investing and leadership from the founder of The Vanguard Group Throughout his legendary career, John Bogle-founder of the Vanguard mutual fund group and creator of the first index mutual fund-has helped investors build wealth the right way, while, at the same time, leading a tireless campaign to restore common sense to the investment world. A collection of essays based on speeches delivered to professional groups and college students in recent years, in Don't Count on It is organized around eight themes Illusion versus reality in investing Indexing to market returns Failures of capitalism The flawed structure of the mutual fund industry The spirit of entrepreneurship What is enough in business, and in life Advice to America's future leaders The unforgettable characters who have shaped his career Widely acclaimed for his role as the conscience of the mutual fund industry and a relentless advocate for individual investors, in Don't Count on It, Bogle continues to inspire, while pushing the mutual fund industry to measure up to their promise.

Focusing on the creative and inventive significance of drawing for architecture, this book by one of its greatest proponents, Peter Cook, is an established classic. It exudes Cook's delight and catholic appetite for the architectural. Readers are provided with perceptive insights at every turn. The book features some of the greatest and most intriguing drawings by architects, ranging from Frank Lloyd Wright, Heath-Robinson, Le Corbusier, and Otto Wagner to Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Coop Himmelb(l)au, Arata Isozaki, Eric Owen Moss, Bernard Tschumi, and Lebbeus Woods; as well as key works by Cook and other members of the original Archigram group. For this new edition, Cook provides a substantial new chapter that charts the speed at which the trajectory of drawing is moving. It reflects the increasing sophistication of available software and also the ways in which 'hand drawing' and the 'digital' are being eclipsed by new hybrids—injecting a new momentum to drawing. These 'crossovers' provide a whole new territory as attempts are made to release drawing from the boundaries of a solitary moment, a single-viewing position, or a single referential language. Featuring the likes of Toyo Ito, Perry Culper, Izaskun Chinchilla, Kenny Tsui, Ali Rahim, John Berglund, and Lorene Faure, it leads to fascinating insights into the effect that medium has upon intention and definition of an idea or a place. Is a pencil drawing more attuned to a certain architecture than an ink drawing, or is a particular colour evocative of a certain atmosphere? In a world where a Mayer drawing is creatively contributing something different from a Rhino drawing, there is much to demand of future techniques.

It wasn't through maintaining the daily grind (for themselves or others) that got them to the top. It was by building their dreams and doing business in a way that no other had done before them. These Dream Merchants and Howboys live in the Business Icon Hall of Fame in the Sky (ok so maybe one day this will exist). But before they got there they lived somewhere very different.

Die deutsche F?hrung hatte die Operation «Zitadelle» bei Kursk Mitte Juni 1943 abbrechen m?ssen. Der bei Orel mit der Sto?richtung Kursk angetretenen Nordgruppe der deutschen Streitkr?fte war es nicht gelungen, das von den Russen festungsartig ausgebaute Verteidigungssystem zu durchbrechen. Dazu kam, dass die Sowjets ihrerseits einen breit angelegten Gegensto? vorbereitet hatten, der vor allem das s?dlich gelegene rohstoffreiche Donezbecken wieder in ihren Besitz bringen sollte. Das hatte zur Folge, dass Teile der deutschen Kr?fte eilig umgruppiert werden mussten, um diese Bedrohung abwehren zu k?nnen. Ohne es voneinander zu wissen, waren Fred Beyer und G?nther Weber mit ihren Einheiten an diesen Abschnitt verlegt worden. Die K?mpfe dort waren brutal, verbissen und ?u?erst verlustreich. ?ber allem stand die Gefahr, dass die deutsche Ostfront mit ihren ausgezehrten Truppen nunmehr wieder zum R?ckzug gezwungen werden k?nnte.

Efficient, compliant management systems pave the road to sustainability through integration and automation The book addresses the many definitions of sustainability and why CEOs need the links between sustainability, business value, and performance. Business leaders are committed to leading the way, and the book outlines the support of a management system structure and business principles that will drive the accomplishment of their mission. Stakeholder demands on CEOs include many challenges. Investors are assessing companies for financial performance. The shrinking talent pool of employees is looking to work with organizations that support social, environment, and economic operating practices and principles. Great leaders are those that ask questions, who are creative to drive innovation for growth of their company. The Assess-Reflect-Act section on international business principles defined in the book will ask you as the leader thought provoking questions to stimulate action within your organization to bring people, processes, and technology together for business success.

Die Handlung des Romans spielt in China im 16. Jahrhundert w?hrend der Ming-Zeit (1368-1644). Geschildert wird, wie Li Zhuowu von einem mehr oder weniger angepassten Mitglied der Gesellschaft zu einem radikalen Au?enseiter wird, der eine Karriere im Staatsdienst aufgibt und schlie?lich, nach mehreren Schicksalsschl?gen, die ihn fast zerst?ren, seine Familie verl?sst und seinen eigenen Weg geht. Dieser Schritt markiert seine Entwicklung zu einem konsequent individualistischen und kritischen Denker, der die als orthodox geltende Str?mung innerhalb des Konfuzianismus und ihren Anspruch auf Allgemeing?ltigkeit rigoros ablehnt und attackiert. Zugleich prangert er die ?bliche Glorifizierung geistiger Autorit?ten im Konfuzianismus an und betont, dass der Ma?stab f?r das richtige Denken und Handeln in jedem einzelnen Menschen nat?rlich vorhanden ist und schlie?lich auch nur dort individuell gefunden werden kann. Beeinflusst wird er in seinem Denken von buddhistischen, daoistischen und vor allem konfuzianischen Str?mungen, die im Gegensatz zur Orthodoxie stehen. Au?ergew?hnlich und seiner Zeit weit voraus sind auch seine Vorstellungen zur Bedeutung und Rolle der Frau, die im patriarchalischen Denken des konfuzianischen China und seiner festgef?gten patriarchalischen Gesellschaftsordnung ausgesprochen provokativ wirken. Der Roman beschreibt, wie Li Zhuowu immer wieder aufgrund seiner Lehren und seiner Haltung in Konflikt mit konfuzianischen Gelehrten und den von konfuzianischen Beamten gef?hrten staatlichen Beh?rden ger?t, bis er schlie?lich als f?r Staat und Gesellschaft gef?hrlicher Ketzer angeklagt wird und seinem Leben auf dramatische Weise im Gef?ngnis selbst ein Ende setzt.

Besch?digungen der Oberfl?che bis hin zu Glasbruch sind nicht immer einfach zu beurteilen. Ohne entsprechende Erfahrung ist eine sorgf?ltige, eindeutige Ursa-chenzuordnung nicht immer m?glich. Um die vorhandenen Erfahrungen auch an-deren Glasfachleuten weiterzugeben, wurde dieses umfassende Buch ?ber Glas-besch?digungen und Glasbr?che und deren Ursachen geschrieben, das weit ?ber das bisher Erarbeitete und Ver?ffentlichte hinausgeht. Neben den bisher durch den Autor in der 4. Auflage ver?ffentlichten 49 unterschiedlichsten, schematisierten Glasbruchbildern an den verschiedenen Glasarten wurden auch in der nunmehr vorliegenden 5. Auflage wiederum 4 neue und interessante Bruchbilder aus der Praxis aufgenommen, die h?ufiger auftreten. Auch das Kapitel „Oberfl?chenbesch?digungen bei Glas“ mit bisher 23 differierenden Schadensbildern wurde um zus?tzliche 6 Schadensf?lle erweitert. Alle Kapitel von der Glasherstellung ?ber die Kerbspannungstheorie bis hin zur Bruchmechanik wurden ?berarbeitet, erweitert und komplettiert. Zus?tzliches Thema in der 5. Auflage ist die Materialvertr?glichkeit. Bei der Vielzahl an Materialien, die im Hochbau und Innenausbau eingesetzt werden k?nnen, ist die Vertr?glichkeit ein absolut wichtiger, nicht zu untersch?tzender Punkt, der sehr schnell zu gravierenden, kostspieligen Sch?den f?hren kann. Auch zu diesem Thema sind 12 zus?tzliche Schadensbilder aufgenommen worden. Im Anschluss daran wird die Nutzungsdauer von Bauteilen auszugsweise f?r alle mit Glas in Zusammenhang stehenden Bauteilen kurz in einer Tabelle dargestellt, wie sie vom Bundesinstitut f?r Bau-, Stadt- und Raumforschung (BBSR) herausgegeben wird. Somit werden physikalische, mechanische und optische Eigenschaften und Eigenarten von Glas, deren Nutzungsdauer, Bruchvorg?nge, Oberfl?chensch?den und Materialvertr?glichkeiten detailliert behandelt, um den vielen Anwendern und Nutzern von Glas entsprechendes Wissen zu vermitteln. Das nunmehr vorliegende, umfassende Nachschlagewerk dient Glasfachleuten insbesondere zur • exakten Bestimmung der Ursachen f?r Besch?digungen und Glasbr?che, • korrekten Beurteilung und eindeutigen Zuordnung der Schadensursachen, • sicheren Anwendung der theoretischen Grundlagen in der Praxis. Das umfangreiche Bildmaterial von Autor Ekkehard Wagner und weiterer Sachverst?ndiger erm?glicht somit nicht nur eine genaue Beurteilung der Schadensursa-chen – dar?ber hinaus dient es zu einem besseren Verst?ndnis der Eigenschaften, Eigenarten und Schadensbilder von Glas.

Selbst als Vermarkter Anf?nger selbst verstehen Sie mit ziemlicher Sicherheit die Bedeutung und Leistungsf?higkeit einer E-Mail-Liste. Nirgendswo sonst finden Sie ein wirklich gefangenes Publikum, mit dem Sie sich immer wieder in Verbindung setzen k?nnen. Wenn Sie es richtig behandeln, k?nnen Ihre Abonnenten auch in den kommenden Jahren eine Goldmine bleiben.
Das Problem ist, dass die meisten Menschen eine unglaubliche Anzahl von Abonnenten verpassen, weil sie nicht au?erhalb des Internets denken.
In diesem Handbuch lernen Sie einige der schockierend einfachsten Quellen f?r E-Mail-Listen-Abonnenten kennen. Wenn Sie ihrer Liste weitere Abonnenten hinzuf?gen m?chten, ohne ein Verm?gen auszugeben, k?nnen Sie am besten aufh?ren, Ihre gesamten Bem?hungen zur Listenerstellung online zu konzentrieren und andere Abonnenten suchen.
Denken Sie daran, dass nicht jeder rund um die Uhr online ist. Tats?chlich nutzt nicht jeder so oft das Internet. Sie k?nnen es ziemlich oft verwenden, um E-Mails zu lesen oder Netflix anzusehen. Aber wie viele denken daran, nach Informationen ?ber ihre Lieblingshobbys oder ihre dringendsten Probleme zu suchen? Viele tun es, aber sicherlich nicht alle!
Wenn Sie einige Ihrer Bem?hungen online konzentrieren, k?nnen Sie eine gro?e Anzahl neuer Abonnenten gewinnen, die wahrscheinlich noch nicht einmal von Ihrer Konkurrenz geh?rt haben, was den Verkauf an diese Person erheblich erleichtert.
Es mag zun?chst entmutigend klingen, daran zu denken, Abonnenten offline zu finden, aber es ist nicht so schwierig, wie Sie denken. Es ist wahrscheinlich ziemlich be?ngstigend, ?berhaupt daran zu denken, eine Liste zu erstellen, als Sie mit dem Marketing angefangen haben, nicht wahr?
Sie werden einige der ?berraschendsten Quellen f?r kostenlose E-Mail-Abonnenten kennenlernen und erfahren, wie Sie schnell und einfach auf diese Quelle zugreifen k?nnen. Sie k?nnen dabei sogar einige leistungsstarke Marketingpartnerschaften aufbauen!

Der Aufbau einer Liste ist eigentlich ziemlich einfach. Wenn Sie ein gutes Angebot haben, werden die Menschen sich gerne dazu entscheiden, sich in Ihre Liste einzutragen. So k?nnen Sie sehr schnell eine ziemlich gro?e Liste aufbauen, wenn Sie gen?gend Traffic auf Ihrer Webseite haben.
Das Optimum aus der Liste herauszuholen, die Sie aufgebaut haben, ist da schon wesentlich schwieriger. Die meisten Leute wissen nicht, wie man einen korrekten E-Mail Titel verfasst oder eine E-Mail schreibt, die auch die gew?nschten Resultate bringt. Es ist absolute Zeitverschwendung, wenn Sie eine langweilige E-Mail schreiben, die nur bei 1% der Empf?nger die gew?nschte Reaktion ausl?st. Eine gut geschriebene E-Mail k?nnte bei 5% Ihrer Leser den gew?nschten Erfolg bringen!
In diesem Report werde ich Ihnen einige Tricks zeigen, die Sie verwenden k?nnen, um die Erfolge Ihrer E-Mail drastisch zu erh?hen. Dieser Report wird Ihnen helfen, das Meiste aus Ihrer Liste herauszuholen und mit jeder einzelnen E-Mail, die Sie versenden, viel mehr Geld verdienen.
Was Sie in diesem Report lernen werden, ist Folgendes:
– Die dringendsten Fragen und Probleme in Ihrer Nische – Warum Menschen kaufen – E-Mail Titel f?r maximale ?ffnungsraten – Wie Sie die Menschen «zwingen», zu lesen und zu kaufen

A new integration of Goleman's emotional, social, and ecological intelligence Hopeful, eloquent, and bold, Ecoliterate offers inspiring stories, practical guidance, and an exciting new model of education that builds – in vitally important ways – on the success of social and emotional learning by addressing today's most important ecological issues. This book shares stories of pioneering educators, students, and activists engaged in issues related to food, water, oil, and coal in communities from the mountains of Appalachia to a small village in the Arctic; the deserts of New Mexico to the coast of New Orleans; and the streets of Oakland, California to the hills of South Carolina. Ecoliterate marks a rich collaboration between Daniel Goleman and the Center for Ecoliteracy, an organization best known for its pioneering work with school gardens, school lunches, and integrating ecological principles and sustainability into school curricula. For nearly twenty years the Center has worked with schools and organizations in more than 400 communities across the United States and numerous other countries. Ecoliterate also presents five core practices of emotionally and socially engaged ecoliteracy and a professional development guide.
