Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “People are important. Although some persons may consider that people with disabilities cannot live ordinary lives, as long as they believe in themselves, they will survive. Never allow a person or a situation to overpower you.” These words are as true today as they were when my father said them to me in 1945, when he realized that epilepsy would be with me for life. Since then I have had five hip surgeries, cancer, cataract surgery, and several other physical problems that could be considered disabling. Yet, I have obtained two bachelor’s degrees, one in Education and the other in Fine Arts, a Masters degree in the Science of Psychology, and am now enrolled in a Doctorate program at Walden University in Health Psychology. We have had several deaths in the family in the past few years, and the birth of my great-granddaughter, Sanania Machele Schumacher-Drink this past May. Life is always changing, so why should people show bias to those who have Epilepsy, Depression, or Parkinson’s disease simply because they are not understood? We are constantly met with new challenges. For every bad thing that occurs, many more good things happen. I am originally from Wharton, Texas, but I have lived all over the country and traveled abroad quite a bit. Art, writing and selling Mary Kay Cosmetics have enabled me continue to appreciate people, as well as the many trials that occur. We grow stronger through overcoming these trials. I am a member of the American Medical Writers Association, American Epilepsy Society, International Association of Scientific Studies of Intellectual Disabilities, as well as the Epilepsy Foundation of Connecticut. I have been a member of the American Medical Illustrators organization as well. I have spoken at medical conferences in 19 countries from Bombay to Beijing in an endeavor to make Epilepsy better understood. Unraveling the Spider’s Net, Epilepsy, Depression and Parkinson’s Disease is an attempt to show people that the cause of people’s difficulty is not the disorder, as much as the attitude of the public to said disorders. Epilepsy has been with us for many years, yet it still is not understood. In this book, I have tried to portray persons with epilepsy as ordinary people who live ordinary lives in spite of their problems. More people are suffering from epilepsy today as a side effect of Tumor surgery than was true twenty years ago. If a person is determined to overcome a problem, he or she will. Emilia and George, who were characters in Surviving the Spider’s Net, a Family’s Struggle with Abuse and Epilepsy are faced with different and challenging problems in this book as they see their family grow and new problems, such as Medicaid, Social Security, and Health care are faced. Everything comes with a price. Will they be able to meet the price?

Download or read book Spiderweb Capitalism written by Kimberly Kay Hoang and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2024-04-23 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A behind-the-scenes look at how the rich and powerful use offshore shell corporations to conceal their wealth and make themselves richer In 2015, the anonymous leak of the Panama Papers brought to light millions of financial and legal documents exposing how the superrich hide their money using complex webs of offshore vehicles. Spiderweb Capitalism takes you inside this shadow economy, uncovering the mechanics behind the invisible, mundane networks of lawyers, accountants, company secretaries, and fixers who facilitate the illicit movement of wealth across borders and around the globe. Kimberly Kay Hoang traveled more than 350,000 miles and conducted hundreds of in-depth interviews with private wealth managers, fund managers, entrepreneurs, C-suite executives, bankers, auditors, and other financial professionals. She traces the flow of capital from offshore funds in places like the Cayman Islands, Samoa, and Panama to special-purpose vehicles and holding companies in Singapore and Hong Kong, and how it finds its way into risky markets onshore in Vietnam and Myanmar. Hoang reveals the strategies behind spiderweb capitalism and examines the moral dilemmas of making money in legal, financial, and political gray zones. Dazzlingly written, Spiderweb Capitalism sheds critical light on how global elites capitalize on risky frontier markets, and deepens our understanding of the paradoxical ways in which global economic growth is sustained through states where the line separating the legal from the corrupt is not always clear.

Download or read book Behaviour and Ecology of Spiders written by Carmen Viera and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-11-02 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within the last few decades, arachnology in the Neotropical region has experienced a great development filling the knowledge gap in one of the most diverse regions of the world. Nevertheless, large geographical areas remain poorly sampled, especially within the Amazon, and new genera and species have been continuously discovered, even in urban areas. In congruence with the recent improvements in research, several aspects of the ecology, behaviour and natural history of spiders, such as interactions with other predators and parasitoids, social interactions, dispersal patterns, habitat requirements, mating behaviors, among others, are being carefully investigated. These recent contributions incorporate substantial information on the preexisting knowledge on these subjects every year. Our main objective with this book is to present a summary on these new researches and on the currently knowledge on the main subjects involved in the general theme, emphasizing the contribution of the rich fauna of the Neotropical region to the research of behaviour and ecology of the spiders.
