Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can you grasp true reality beyond borrowers' financial statements in order to prevent repeated losses... while maintaining your viewpoint without the organizational squabbles or subservience that are frequently required to carry out your views? You rely on data, but data ahead of a deep worldview is putting the horse before the cart. One needs to first enhance his/her cognition to grasp the way the world works without relying on data, or else the data is often misleading. Also, the fundamental tools of risk evaluation are often wrongly understood. In this book, we will travel from a 35,000-foot view to the last few feet. We will not lose sight of the fact that it is the inner transformation & realization of knowledge that matters more than the awareness of the knowledge per se. The book delivers this with a 5-step journey based on a pithy examination of 5 key aspects (Credit-Cue approach): 1. Root Tools 2. Worldview 3. Molecular Portfolio 4. Perception and Cognition Enhancement Without Additional Information 5. Heterodoxy Step 1. Root Tools: Redefined and Narrowed. Sharpen your root tools to measure and forecast for tactical counter-party assessment. Confront your assumptions about the basics to develop incisive new tools that bite hard & fast. Step 2. Worldview: Uncovering Hidden Corners and Interlinkages of Global Order. Develop a worldview to see comprehensively before you measure. No riffraff: Understanding how societies truly operate through the integrated lenses of crime, historical identities, hidden taxation, the unsaid impact of oil and gas policies, the unsaid influence of central banking, money supply, and sensuality. Step 3. Portfolio: Harness it Entirely to Vanquish Blindspots Forever: Develop tools for molecular decomposition of the entire portfolio & form the basis for an ultra-fast, comprehensive, & continuous stress-based full portfolio review as opposed to limited sample-based reviews. Step 4. Deep Mind: Hone & Anchor Your Deep Mind without Endless Information. Psycho-analytical tools for developing a deeper mind. What is the fundamental nature of reality & the gaps in the system of logic used by us? How to stop your faults, such as ego and fear, from outgrowing your ability to learn? Step 5. Heterodoxy: Being Different Without Damaging. How to be a successful heterodox? Why is heterodoxy the best tool to rejuvenate your inner self and also help others, including your adversaries? How to use this book: The book is a practitioner's tool kit. Read with an empty mind to get the most from the book. The true worth of the concepts in the book will emerge only through practice. A general read may give you only an academic or intellectual understanding. Nothing in the book is based on what is not practiced by the author.

Download or read book The Little Black Book of Neuropsychology written by Mike R. Schoenberg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-01-11 with total page 974 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From translating the patient’s medical records and test results to providing recommendations, the neuropsychological evaluation incorporates the science and practice of neuropsychology, neurology, and psychological sciences. The Little Black Book of Neuropsychology brings the practice and study of neuropsychology into concise step-by-step focus—without skimping on scientific quality. This one-of-a-kind assessment reference complements standard textbooks by outlining signs, symptoms, and complaints according to neuropsychological domain (such as memory, language, or executive function), with descriptions of possible deficits involved, inpatient and outpatient assessment methods, and possible etiologies. Additional chapters offer a more traditional approach to evaluation, discussing specific neurological disorders and diseases in terms of their clinical features, neuroanatomical correlates, and assessment and treatment considerations. Chapters in psychometrics provide for initial understanding of brain-behavior interpretation as well as more advanced principals for neuropsychology practice including new diagnostic concepts and analysis of change in performance over time. For the trainee, beginning clinician or seasoned expert, this user-friendly presentation incorporating ‘quick reference guides’ throughout which will add to the practice armentarium of beginning and seasoned clinicians alike. Key features of The Black Book of Neuropsychology: Concise framework for understanding the neuropsychological referral. Symptoms/syndromes presented in a handy outline format, with dozens of charts and tables. Review of basic neurobehavioral examination procedure. Attention to professional issues, including advances in psychometrics and diagnoses, including tables for reliable change for many commonly used tests. Special “Writing Reports like You Mean It” section and guidelines for answering referral questions. Includes appendices of practical information, including neuropsychological formulary. The Little Black Book of Neuropsychology is an indispensable resource for the range of practitioners and scientists interested in brain-behavior relationships. Particular emphasis is provided for trainees in neuropsychology and neuropsychologists. However, the easy to use format and concise presentation is likely to be of particular value to interns, residents, and fellows studying neurology, neurological surgery, psychiatry, and nurses. Finally, teachers of neuropsychological and neurological assessment may also find this book useful as a classroom text. "There is no other book in the field that covers the scope of material that is inside this comprehensive text. The work might be best summed up as being a clinical neuropsychology postdoctoral residency in a book, with the most up to date information available, so that it is also an indispensible book for practicing neuropsychologists in addition to students and residents...There is really no book like this available today. It skillfully brings together the most important foundationsof clinical neuropsychology with the 'nuts and bolts' of every facet of assessment. It also reminds the more weathered neuropsychologists among us of the essential value of neuropsychological assessment...the impact of the disease on the patient’s cognitive functioning and behavior may only be objectively quantified through a neuropsychological assessment."

Download or read book Black Book of Rights written by Cedric Hopkins and published by . This book was released on 2021-11-08 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Black Book of Rights: In Furtherance of the Civil Rights Movement is written in two distinct but related sections. The first section reviews law enforcement in the United States of America, citing several studies demonstrating how, despite the Civil Rights Movement's successes, Black Americans are still under attack by the Criminal Justice Regime (police, prosecutors and judges). Relevant United States Supreme Court case law is highlighted to show, 1) the progression of how courts have viewed Black Americans and their place in the United States, and 2) how close in time we are to American cultural practices and customs that were said to have detrimental effects that "are likely to be undone."The second section of the book details the various encounters you have with police officers, provides you with bullet point law and facts concerning those encounters and explains how to best position yourself for the safety and preservation of your rights in a potential criminal case. The stated goal of the Black Book of Rights is to reduce the number of Black men in prisons. The Black Book acknowledges that law enforcement is unlikely to change the tactics it deploys against Black Americans that create the disproportionality found in all aspects of the Criminal Justice Regime, so the author places the responsibility on Black America to learn their rights and asks for accountability to one another for properly invoking those rights. With approximately 90% of individuals waiving their Miranda rights, the Black Book is critical in teaching the rights you possess during a police encounter and how to invoke those rights correctly. You're charged with the duty of education and application, because white America is not coming to save you.

Book excerpt: A "fascinating" (MetroSource) collection of uncensored, confessional, and at times outrageously funny essays about coming of age, coming out, and the wildest experiences that define us. Collecting the most celebrated stories from the hit podcast RISK!, along with all-new true tales about explosive secrets and off-the-wall adventures, this book paints a spellbinding portrait of the transformational moments we experience in life but rarely talk about. No topics are off-limits in RISK!, no memories too revealing to share. From accidentally harboring a teen fugitive to being poisoned while tripping on LSD in the Mayan ruins, these stories transport readers into uncharted territory and show how your life can change when you take an extraordinary leap. In these jaw-dropping stories, edited and introduced by RISK! host Kevin Allison, writers reveal how they pushed drugs for a Mexican cartel only to end up kidnapped and nearly killed, how they joined a terrifying male-empowerment cult and fought desperately for a way out, how they struggled with pregnancy complications and found a hero where they least expected it, and so much more. A lifelong construction worker shares the intimate details of transitioning to being a woman, a bestselling author discusses how he assumed the identity of his babysitter online in a social experiment gone awry, and a beloved comedian discusses how a blow job from a prostitute changed his life. By turns cautionary and inspiring, RISK! presents an extraordinary panorama of the breadth of human experience and a stunning tribute to the power of the truth to set us free.
