Beyond Apologies presents a number of myths about mainstream economics and clarifies their focus on consumption rather than on wellbeing. Each myth is followed by a discussion of a different way of addressing the issue. The book then presents various practical ways of remedying the situation. Topics covered include GDP, economic growth, microcredit, aid, and the Bretton Woods Organizations (the World Bank, International Monetary Fund, and World Trade Organisation). The b...
Society cannot get to a better place without looking at what is holding it back. Conventional beliefs about economics limit people to a few discourses and solutions that, rather than resolve problems, increase their magnitude. It is thus critically important to identify some widely accepted myths that underlie current economic discourse and to offer a more helpful and hopeful way of looking at the issues. Being free from dominant myths can lead to exciting new possibilities.
An exchange traded fund (ETF) is a communal vehicle for investment, as is an exchange traded note (ETN). This primer profiles the duo of instruments and compares them to mutual funds. The relative merits of the securities are explained, along with the grave risks both blatant and subtle. The serious investor has to juggle the crucial factors in order to thrash out a robust program of investment.
As a supple tool for investment, the exchange traded fund (ETF) has enjoyed explosive growth since its debut on the stock market. To a lesser extent, the story is similar for the exchange traded note (ETN). The popularity of these vehicles stems from the ease of investing in a diversity of assets at low cost. An ETF is an investment pool whose shares are listed on a bourse. For this reason, the securities can be bought and sold just like any other stock by way of an e...
This is a book about the beginnings of the Jewish people, from prehistory to the time the Jewish Nation was formed in the land of Canaan. Many books cover the early history of the Jews, the Bible being, perhaps, the most read one. However, archaeological discoveries made over last 30 or so years shed some new and important light on many events in that history. These discoveries have been published in a number of books and scholarly papers. For those who do not have time,...

Standing in the middle of the road in the High Street was a tall girl who looked as if she had been painted by Picasso, she jumping up and down and waving her arms in the air. She was wearing a bright pink cape, an electric blue jumper, with white fluffy sheep embroidered on the front, baggy white trousers adorned with large printed yellow sunflowers and topping it all, a large bright green hat. Even then I thought the purple feather scarf was over doing a little bit.
The frustration, fear and search for answers to the economic disaster that was America's great depression. A common man's insight into why we do what we do.
A collection of jokes.
The paper has been drafted in the form of a letter to an imaginary aunt who has recently been appointed Secretary of Communications in a Latin American country. This device allows for a creative approach to discussing issues and proposals for taking better advantage of the opportunities offered by information and communication technologies (ICTs) for human development in the region.
“A person waking up today from a hundred years' sleep would get quite a fright. Many things would have changed, but I think the most shocking impression would be that the world has become much smaller. Not only can we travel around the globe in much less than 80 days, but money and information can do so in seconds. Markets, wars and products are all becoming globalized, as are environmental impacts and the circulation of ideas”.
El documento ha sido redactado en forma de carta a una tía imaginaria, recién nombrada Secretaria de Comunicaciones de un país latinoamericano. Este pretexto narrativo nos permite abordar de manera creativa la discusión de temáticas y propuestas que ayuden a sacar mejor provecho de las oportunidades que brindan las tecnologías de información y comunicación, TICs, para el desarrollo humano en la región.
"El problema más serio que nos encontramos al ver programas que tienen que ver con TICs y desarrollo es que muchísimas veces, demasiadas, éstos están desconectados de lo que sucede y se necesita en el mundo real de las personas".

It was just dawning on the trio who sat huddled around the radio, that this was not a drill, when they heard and saw the first explosion.
Complete short story by me as something that will offer up access to a story where it will be offered up for the masses to read and enjoy. This is part of the Gutenberg shorts series from me as I hope some of you can take this story in the spirit I've written this. Advance Warning: Graphic Tough Language (Come on this is Chicago you're expected to hear an f-bomb or two.)
Excuses as one collects; everything they fabricate becomes everything someone believes as they hang on every other word. One lie leads to destruction of another man – a question we see coming to mind; how many collate and then trim and past a plethora of statements to make someone look like they’re criminal. “How do you mean?” Small town busy bodies calling their version of Barney Fife within their nonfictional version of Mayberry – unable to handle little bit ...

Walking home in the dark, deserted streets of Downtown Manhattan an unsavory villain throws her into the shadows. But something scarier comes to save her. She doesn’t know who…or what. She’s too busy doing what he commanded her to do. RUN. Nathaniel Jacobs we...
Running back to retrieve their forgotten purses from the booth, Michelle wondered, Good Lord, why are birthdays always so hard? Her elbows stuck out as she fought to tie her hair into place, and she knocked into people along the way, distracted and trying to get to their bags before they got stolen. “Excuse me!” On seeing the booth still empty, she exclaimed, “Oh, thank God!” In a hurry, she climbed onto the red leather cushion on all fours, her mind still on men, not ...

Recorrían la última y prolongada bóveda de cañón corrido construida en tabique y vieron la luz de la salida donde se encontraba la Cruz Roja, el Río a cielo abierto encauzado entre altos muros continuaba y daba una curva hacia la margen izquierda, al llegar a ese sitio contemplaron un alto y majestuoso puente construido con un solo y enorme arco (Puente de Tepetapa), después de este sitio encontraron la salida de aguas negras y de inimaginables desechos del rastro; sangr...
The Bakersfield Californian objected to the barren site, and also to the twisting path from town - there were nearer and better camping places. Besides, it wrote, the “hot bend in the river" was no place to spend $20,000 of tax money. The Californian rallied the public to oppose the purchase, but the rival Bakersfield Morning Echo considered the old Barker property a fine place for a public park.
Park visitors were a diverse group. In May 1929, in late night and early morning hours, mixed-sex, nude bathing parties had been observed at the reservoir. Hart was incensed. He had labored to create a beautiful park for everyone, but he was prepared to protect it against criticism. He warned, "You can't quote me too strongly on this matter, I am going to have three deputy sheriffs on the lookout at the Kern River park, and if anyone, man or woman, is caught bathing in t...

A collection of short stories inspired by Kathlamet myths, along with the original myths (sometimes explicated. The tales, as retold myths, are akin to legend and fairy tales, if perhaps rendered from the subconscious of our Wisconsin pioneer legacy.
From: "The Bird-Headed Woman" On an isolated farm near the Black River lived a farmer and his wife who had recently given birth to a child. She quarreled with him because he raged at her in his religion, accusing her of wrongs she had not done to him, and so she left him and took her child to live in the woods where she had found a shack abandoned by loggers. Her husband, alienated by her, began to preach a profound and compelling gospel of sin and the everlastin...
