Book excerpt: Retirement isn’t what it used to be. This practical guide shows you how to avoid outliving your money—or your meaning. Longer life expectancy and increasing intellectual capital have transformed our notion of “the golden years.” Often we’re just not ready for a life without work. We want to stay productive (whatever that means to us) well into the future—and for baby boomers and the following generations, that future is closer than we think. The Encore Curve examines two crucial questions—“Now what am I going to do?” and “Will I have enough money?”—and guides you toward the answers, with smart tools and unique coaching methods to help you find and fund your retirement goals, and create your memorable “encore.” It helps equip you, both emotionally and economically, to define the next phase of your life. With the Peace of Mind Investor Process from Andy Raub—a financial advisor and investment manager with thirty years’ experience—and simple, insightful exercises, you can determine your priorities and design your own fulfilling, worry-free retirement. Learn how to: - Refocus your life and put first things first - Organize your finances and build a spending plan - Assess your risk and recovery options - Avoid mistakes as you adjust to the new rules of the game - Manage finite funds in the face of increasing costs - Devise a contingency plan for sudden life changes - Match your money to your dreams - Make your future bigger than your past Retirement isn’t just a finish line—it can be a starting point. When you ask yourself the right questions, face the tough choices, and put the pieces together, you’ll be ready for your encore. "I am glad that there are people like Andy in the world who are bringing peace, abundance, and meaning into our lives."—Jack Canfield, cocreator of Chicken Soup for the Soul

This book is composed of five parts encompassing 48 chapters, and begins with the optimum composition of the generating system. The first part considers the use of mathematical models for optimization of energy sources in some countries. The succeeding parts deal with the means of electricity generation for the variable part of the load curve. This part examines the electric consumption of steam and gas turbines and the concept of peak-power load. Other parts discuss the means of storage at user level. The final parts consider natural characteristics of the energy demand (load curves). This book will prove useful electrical engineers and researchers.

Download or read book Transcendental Curves in the Leibnizian Calculus written by Viktor Blasjo and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2017-04-22 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transcendental Curves in the Leibnizian Calculus analyzes a mathematical and philosophical conflict between classical and early modern mathematics. In the late 17th century, mathematics was at the brink of an identity crisis. For millennia, mathematical meaning and ontology had been anchored in geometrical constructions, as epitomized by Euclid's ruler and compass. As late as 1637, Descartes had placed himself squarely in this tradition when he justified his new technique of identifying curves with equations by means of certain curve-tracing instruments, thereby bringing together the ancient constructive tradition and modern algebraic methods in a satisfying marriage. But rapid advances in the new fields of infinitesimal calculus and mathematical mechanics soon ruined his grand synthesis. Descartes's scheme left out transcendental curves, i.e. curves with no polynomial equation, but in the course of these subsequent developments such curves emerged as indispensable. It was becoming harder and harder to juggle cutting-edge mathematics and ancient conceptions of its foundations at the same time, yet leading mathematicians, such as Leibniz felt compelled to do precisely this. The new mathematics fit more naturally an analytical conception of curves than a construction-based one, yet no one wanted to betray the latter, as this was seen as virtually tantamount to stop doing mathematics altogether. The credibility and authority of mathematics depended on it. - Brings to light this underlying and often implicit complex of concerns that permeate early calculus - Evaluates the technical conception and mathematical construction of the geometrical method - Reveals a previously unrecognized Liebnizian programmatic cohesion in early calculus - Provides a beautifully written work of outstanding original scholarship

Download or read book Internet based Workplace Communications written by Kirk St. Amant and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this collection advance the project of articulating online workplaces as real and significant, as complex networks of relations that we need to take seriously. The emergent culture of networked communication poses many interesting challenges for researchers, teachers, and writers. In an emergent culture, even the terminologies we use to identify the subject are contested, making it difficult to agree on what we're writing about in the first place, not to mention our reasons for studying it or how we might best meet the challenges it poses.

Book excerpt: Using this helpful book, learn how the secret to happiness and longevity can be found through mentoring the next generation. In How to Live Forever, Encore.org founder and CEO Marc Freedman tells the story of his thirty-year quest to answer some of contemporary life's most urgent questions: With so many living so much longer, what is the meaning of the increasing years beyond 50? How can a society with more older people than younger ones thrive? How do we find happiness when we know life is long and time is short? In a poignant book that defies categorization, Freedman finds insights by exploring purpose and generativity, digging into the drive for longevity and the perils of age segregation, and talking to social innovators across the globe bringing the generations together for mutual benefit. He finds wisdom in stories from young and old, featuring ordinary people and icons like jazz great Clark Terry and basketball legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. But the answers also come from stories of Freedman's own mentors—a sawmill worker turned surrogate grandparent, a university administrator who served as Einstein's driver, a cabinet secretary who won the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the gym teacher who was Freedman's father. How to Live Forever is a deeply personal call to find fulfillment and happiness in our longer lives by connecting with the next generation and forging a legacy of love that lives beyond us.

Download or read book The Mathematical Theory of Information written by Jan Kåhre and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 517 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The general concept of information is here, for the first time, defined mathematically by adding one single axiom to the probability theory. This Mathematical Theory of Information is explored in fourteen chapters: 1. Information can be measured in different units, in anything from bits to dollars. We will here argue that any measure is acceptable if it does not violate the Law of Diminishing Information. This law is supported by two independent arguments: one derived from the Bar-Hillel ideal receiver, the other is based on Shannon's noisy channel. The entropy in the 'classical information theory' is one of the measures conforming to the Law of Diminishing Information, but it has, however, properties such as being symmetric, which makes it unsuitable for some applications. The measure reliability is found to be a universal information measure. 2. For discrete and finite signals, the Law of Diminishing Information is defined mathematically, using probability theory and matrix algebra. 3. The Law of Diminishing Information is used as an axiom to derive essential properties of information. Byron's law: there is more information in a lie than in gibberish. Preservation: no information is lost in a reversible channel. Etc. The Mathematical Theory of Information supports colligation, i. e. the property to bind facts together making 'two plus two greater than four'. Colligation is a must when the information carries knowledge, or is a base for decisions. In such cases, reliability is always a useful information measure. Entropy does not allow colligation.
