Mám na to

Nejedného z nás dnes trápi finančná neistota a to bez ohľadu na sumu, aká sa nám mesačne pripisuje na účet. Máme pocit, akoby na nás svet kričal: „Nemáš dosť peňazí!“ Vnímame život cez prizmu nedostatku, vidíme len to, čo nevlastníme. Kvária nás otázky typu Môžem si to dovoliť? Nie je to plytvanie? Každý deň si odopierame pôžitky v dobrej viere, že sa vďaka tomu budeme mať zajtra lepšie. V šetrení vidíme jediný spôsob, ako nahonobiť majetok. Ale ako inak zbohatnúť? Dá sa to vôbec?Odpoveď nám ponúka Suh Yoon Lee, mladá, vzdelaná a nesmierne empatická žena, ktorá radila vo financiách najbohatším Kórejčanom a zakladateľom veľkých korporácií. Áno, každý samôže stať bohatým vďaka nenáročnej metóde, ktorú nám spolu s novinárkou Jooyun Hongovou odkrývajú v tejto knihe. Spoločne nám vysvetlia, ako otvoriť dvere prosperite, vytvoriť si pozitívny vzťah k peniazom a nabehnúť na nový spôsob života.

Wasteland with Words - A Social History of Iceland Magnusson Sigurdur GylfiPevná vazba

Iceland is an enigmatic island country marked by contradiction: it's a part of Europe, yet separated from it by the Atlantic Ocean; it's seemingly inhospitable, yet home to more than 300,000. Wasteland with Words explores these paradoxes to uncover the mystery of Iceland.In Wasteland with Words Sigurdur Gylfi Magn sson presents a wide-ranging and detailed analysis of the island's history that examines the evolution and transformation of Icelandic culture while investigating the literary and historical factors that created the rich cultural heritage enjoyed by Icelanders today. Magn sson explains how a nineteenth-century economy based on the industries of fishing and agriculture--one of the poorest in Europe--grew to become a disproportionately large economic power in the late twentieth century, while retaining its strong sense of cultural identity.

Anesthesiology and Pain Management

Theodore H. Stanley, M.D. Anesthesiology and Pain Management contains the Refresher Course manuscripts of the presentations of the 36th Annual Postgraduate Course in Anesthesiology which took place at The Cliff Conference Center in Snowbird, Utah, February 22-26, 1991. The chapters reflect new data and concepts within the general framework of "pain research and basic science," "clinical topics in pain management." The purposes of the textbook are to 1) act as a reference for the anesthesiologists attending the meeting, and 2) serve as a vehicle to bring many of the latest concepts in anesthesiology to others within a short time of the formal presentation. Each chapter is a brief but sharply focused glimpse of the interests in anesthesia expressed at the conference. This book and its chapters should not be considered complete treatises on the subjects addressed but rather attempts to

Canary Islanders of Louisiana Din Gilbert C.

The Canary Islanders, or Isle os, of Louisiana, like some of the state's other ethnic groups, have received little scholarly attention. Although they are a people who have remained largely unknown both inside and outside of Louisiana, the Isle os constitute a sizable portion of the state's present Spanish-surname population. Utilizing a wide range of source materials, from Spanish colonial documents to oral interviews, Gilbert C. Din's The Canary Islanders of Louisiana provides the first book-length study of the Isle os and a definitive history of their presence in the state.The few thousand Canary Islanders brought to Louisiana by Spanish governors in the eighteenth century came from a group of islands that, although ostensibly Spanish, had evolved its own distinctive culture and folkways. Settled in frontier areas considered strategic for the defense of the Louisiana

Artifacts and Technical Solutions in MR Diagnostic Imaging

This book is for all those professionals directly or indirectly working in magnetic resonance, and arises from the need to have available a complete and comprehensible guide, in order to recognize, construe and work out almost all the artifacts that can currently be observed in the supplied scanners, being low-field, mid-field, high-field or ultra-high-field. The content includes many demonstrative images and few mathematical formula, moreover simple to be construed, in order to make easily comprehensible the complex mechanisms hidden behind MR Physics, connected to the artifact under consideration. The text presents a basic introduction to the magnetic resonance and a glossary of used acronyms, so that the principles related to k-space, impulse sequences and relaxation times are clearly understood. Artifacts are effectively classified in chapters and subchapters, according to the

Evolutionary Learning Zhou Zhi-Hua PhD

Many machine learning tasks involve solving complex optimization problems, such as working on non-differentiable, non-continuous, and non-unique objective functions; in some cases it can prove difficult to even define an explicit objective function. Evolutionary learning applies evolutionary algorithms to address optimization problems in machine learning, and has yielded encouraging outcomes in many applications. However, due to the heuristic nature of evolutionary optimization, most outcomes to date have been empirical and lack theoretical support. This shortcoming has kept evolutionary learning from being well received in the machine learning community, which favors solid theoretical approaches.Recently there have been considerable efforts to address this issue. This book presents a range of those efforts, divided into four parts. Part I briefly introduces readers to

Race Across the Atlantic

It was Tuesday, 15 July 1919 and for the residents of Clifden on Ireland's west coast this was not to be a normal day. Just before 08.40 hours, descending out of the gloom, came a large, twin-engine aeroplane lining up for final approach. One or two on-lookers recognised the danger straight away for this was an area of soft bog, but their attempts to alert the pilot were in vain.The aircraft began to sink and, with a squelch, came to a sudden stop, the tail rearing up in the air. Dazed and with fuel filling the cockpit the two-man crew scrambled out, grabbing what they could. After a flight lasting 16 hours and 28 minutes, Captain John Alcock and Lieutenant Arthur Whitten-Brown had won the race to be the first to fly non-stop across the Atlantic.It was a rough ending for a race that began in April 1913 when Lord Rothermere, aviation philanthropist and owner of the
