Download or read book Crooks Hoods and Vagabonds in Business written by Alan De Chasteigner Du Mee and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If more people knew what really goes inside many businesses, they probably would not invest in them; at the very least not so readily and blindly. That would at least force a change in the way many businesses have been operating, dealing with their people and the way some key people in those businesses have been behaving. Enron, WorldCom, HIH have all just and only just, exposed the tip of the iceberg. In these cases a small group of leaders are being pursued. The real problem is that many other people knew what was going on, and said nothing. There are many more acts of incompetence, thuggery and downright illegality being committed everyday than has been exposed or even prosecuted. This occurs in many more businesses that one can imagine. This book sets down how to spot these people, identify some of the ways to hold them accountable and protect oneself from them. For the employee, investor, manager, supervisor, Director and shareholder there are useful tools for minimizing the impact of poor ethical practices. Almost none of the legislative strategies deployed so far will have any effect on the issues described in this book. Legislation like CLERP 9 in Australia and Sarbanes-Oxley in the USA will probably distract many people from the much broader areas of corporate thuggery and abuse. Whilst there is nothing wrong with this legislation as far as it goes, the people who have been engaging in these untoward activities are very good at it and very good at disguising how they go about what they do.
Download or read book The Language of Thieves and Vagabonds written by Maurizio Gotti and published by Walter de Gruyter. This book was released on 2012-08-09 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The object of the volume is the analysis of the main dictionaries and glossaries of the canting language (the particular jargon spoken by thieves and vagabonds) that appeared in the 17th and 18th centuries. The scholars' attention has mostly concentrated on the earliest publications - particulary those appearing in the Elizabethan period -, while relatively little research has investigated subsequent canting dictionaries and glossaries. The aim of the present volume is to fill this gap. The main works on canting published in the 17th and 18th centuries are analysed in chapters 3 to 10. The first two chapters provide a necessary introduction to the investigation carried out in the subsequent sections, examining the great increase in the numbers of vagabonds and criminals in England in that period from a sociohistorical perspective and reviewing the 16th-century English literature about the underworld. The subsequent eight chapters give a detailed analysis of the main works on canting which appeared in the second part of the 17th century and during the whole of the 18th century. The specific features of each publication are identified, as well as the method adopted by its author in the compilation of his dictionary/glossary and the most likely sources of its entries, in order to determine the degree of novelty and relevance that his contribution has brought to this field. The final chapter deals with the evolution in the meaning of the term 'cant' itself in the period taken into consideration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second book in the breathtaking New York Times bestselling Hush, Hush saga, soon to be a major motion picture! Nora should have known her life wouldn’t stay perfect for long. Despite starting a relationship with her bad boy guardian angel, Patch, and surviving an attempt on her life, things are not looking up. Patch is starting to pull away and Nora can’t figure out if it’s for her best interest or if his interest has shifted to her arch-enemy Marcie Millar. Not to mention that Nora is haunted by images of her father and starting to become obsessed with finding out what really happened to him that night he left for Portland and never came home. The farther Nora delves into the mystery of her father’s death, the more she comes to question if her Nephilim blood line has something to do with it as well as why she seems to be in danger more than the average girl when she has a guardian angel. Since Patch isn’t answering her questions, she has to start finding the answers on her own. But when she finds them, will she be able to count on Patch or are the things he’s hiding from her darker than she can imagine?

Download or read book The White Coat Investor written by James M. Dahle and published by White Coat Investor LLC the. This book was released on 2014-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a practicing emergency physician, The White Coat Investor is a high-yield manual that specifically deals with the financial issues facing medical students, residents, physicians, dentists, and similar high-income professionals. Doctors are highly-educated and extensively trained at making difficult diagnoses and performing life saving procedures. However, they receive little to no training in business, personal finance, investing, insurance, taxes, estate planning, and asset protection. This book fills in the gaps and will teach you to use your high income to escape from your student loans, provide for your family, build wealth, and stop getting ripped off by unscrupulous financial professionals. Straight talk and clear explanations allow the book to be easily digested by a novice to the subject matter yet the book also contains advanced concepts specific to physicians you won't find in other financial books. This book will teach you how to: Graduate from medical school with as little debt as possible Escape from student loans within two to five years of residency graduation Purchase the right types and amounts of insurance Decide when to buy a house and how much to spend on it Learn to invest in a sensible, low-cost and effective manner with or without the assistance of an advisor Avoid investments which are designed to be sold, not bought Select advisors who give great service and advice at a fair price Become a millionaire within five to ten years of residency graduation Use a "Backdoor Roth IRA" and "Stealth IRA" to boost your retirement funds and decrease your taxes Protect your hard-won assets from professional and personal lawsuits Avoid estate taxes, avoid probate, and ensure your children and your money go where you want when you die Minimize your tax burden, keeping more of your hard-earned money Decide between an employee job and an independent contractor job Choose between sole proprietorship, Limited Liability Company, S Corporation, and C Corporation Take a look at the first pages of the book by clicking on the Look Inside feature Praise For The White Coat Investor "Much of my financial planning practice is helping doctors to correct mistakes that reading this book would have avoided in the first place." - Allan S.
