Download or read book Opportunity written by Charlotte Grimshaw and published by Penguin Random House New Zealand Limited. This book was released on 2010-05-01 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A prize-winning and innovative collection of connected short stories. "You could look back after a long time and ask, who wanted what from whom?" A man confronts death after an operation, a devout Christian encounters a man who hurt her long ago, a secretary uncovers her boss's secret shame. And in a house in Auckland an elderly woman is writing the last book of her life, one which, she says, contains all of her crimes. How are the characters connected and who is writing the stories? Each of these astute stories is an inspection of motive, rich in vivid insight into a diverse range of lives. Together, they form a unified whole. Opportunity is a book about storytelling, about generosity and opportunism; above all it is a celebration of the subtleties of human impulses, of what Katherine Mansfield called the LIFE of life.
Download or read book Opportunity Cost written by Fouad Sabry and published by One Billion Knowledgeable. This book was released on 2024-04-15 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Opportunity Cost In microeconomic theory, the opportunity cost of a choice is the value of the best alternative forgone where, given limited resources, a choice needs to be made between several mutually exclusive alternatives. Assuming the best choice is made, it is the "cost" incurred by not enjoying the benefit that would have been had by taking the second best available choice. The New Oxford American Dictionary defines it as "the loss of potential gain from other alternatives when one alternative is chosen". As a representation of the relationship between scarcity and choice, the objective of opportunity cost is to ensure efficient use of scarce resources. It incorporates all associated costs of a decision, both explicit and implicit. Thus, opportunity costs are not restricted to monetary or financial costs: the real cost of output forgone, lost time, pleasure, or any other benefit that provides utility should also be considered an opportunity cost. How you will benefit (I) Insights, and validations about the following topics: Chapter 1: Opportunity cost Chapter 2: Perfect competition Chapter 3: Output (economics) Chapter 4: Sunk cost Chapter 5: Cost Chapter 6: Competitive advantage Chapter 7: Managerial economics Chapter 8: Economic cost Chapter 9: Implicit cost Chapter 10: Operating surplus Chapter 11: Accounting constraints Chapter 12: AP Macroeconomics Chapter 13: Engineering economics Chapter 14: Barriers to exit Chapter 15: Profit (economics) Chapter 16: Shutdown (economics) Chapter 17: Asset Chapter 18: Output (economics) Chapter 19: Return on investment Chapter 20: Economics terminology that differs from common usage Chapter 21: Parable of the broken window (II) Answering the public top questions about opportunity cost. (III) Real world examples for the usage of opportunity cost in many fields. Who this book is for Professionals, undergraduate and graduate students, enthusiasts, hobbyists, and those who want to go beyond basic knowledge or information for any kind of Opportunity Cost.

If educators want to survive, they should read this book and find practical strategies from those who have collectively worked within the school setting for over 75 years--voices of experience to share helpful coping skills. When educators are bogged down with gossip, ostracism, and upsetting events, they will not be able to work effectively with their students and coworkers.

In each chapter, readers will find an action plan designed to provide tools that educators should utilize in surviving internal politics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ♥♥The New Magdalen By Wilkie Collins♥♥ This novel is one of Wilkie Collins later ones set in the 1870s during the Franco-Prussian war. The New Magdalen By Wilkie Collins The tone in which those words were spoken was an insult in itself. Mercy suddenly lifted her head; the angry answer was on her lips. She checked it, and submitted in silence. "I will be worthy of Julian Gray's confidence in me," she thought, as she stood patiently by the chair. "I will bear anything from the woman whom I have wronged." IT was a dark night. The rain was pouring in torrents. ♥♥The New Magdalen By Wilkie Collins♥♥ Late in the evening a skirmishing party of the French and a skirmishing party of the Germans had met, by accident, near the little village of Lagrange, close to the German frontier. In the struggle that followed, the French had (for once) got the better of the enemy. For the time, at least, a few hundreds out of the host of the invaders had been forced back over the frontier. It was a trifling affair, occurring not long after the great German victory of Weissenbourg, and the newspapers took little or no notice of it. ♥♥The New Magdalen By Wilkie Collins♥♥ Captain Arnault, commanding on the French side, sat alone in one of the cottages of the village, inhabited by the miller of the district. The Captain was reading, by the light of a solitary tallow-candle, some intercepted dispatches taken from the Germans. He had suffered the wood fire, scattered over the large open grate, to burn low; the red embers only faintly illuminated a part of the room. On the floor behind him lay some of the miller's empty sacks. In a corner opposite to him was the miller's solid walnut-wood bed. On the walls all around him were the miller's colored prints, representing a happy mixture of devotional and domestic subjects. ♥♥The New Magdalen By Wilkie Collins♥♥ A door of communication leading into the kitchen of the cottage had been torn from its hinges, and used to carry the men wounded in the skirmish from the field. They were now comfortably laid at rest in the kitchen, under the care of the French surgeon and the English nurse attached to the ambulance. A piece of coarse canvas screened the opening between the two rooms in place of the door. A second door, leading from the bed-chamber into the yard, was locked; and the wooden shutter protecting the one window of the room was carefully barred. Sentinels, doubled in number, were placed at all the outposts. The French commander had neglected no precaution which could reasonably insure for himself and for his men a quiet and comfortable night.... ♥♥The New Magdalen By Wilkie Collins♥♥
