How to Retire
What are the secrets to a healthy, happy, and wealthy retirement? To answer that question, longtime Morningstar columnist and podcaster Christine Benz asked 20 retirement thought leaders to go deep on a single lesson that they believe contributes to success in retirement. These lessons range from nitty gritty financial matters to quality-of-life considerations that help pre-retirees and retirees maximize their "time on earth" allocations. On the financial side of the ledger, the book delves into knowing your retirement income style (Wade Pfau), understanding how your spending might change in retirement (David Blanchett), and organizing your portfolio to support in-retirement cash flows (William Bernstein). Other interviews probe softer but no less important considerations, such as how to spend in order to optimize happiness (Ramit Sethi), the value of burnishing relationships later in life (Laura Carstensen), and living life so that you have no regrets in the end (Jordan Grumet). These lessons help soon-to-retire and already-retired individuals and their advisors tackle retirement with confidence, wisdom, and a specific plan for maximizing their financial and human capital.
The Reality of Real Estate
Many people look at real estate as a kind of "fall back" career that brings quick money without a huge investment of time or energy. But as we see in this compelling book by real estate broker and business trainer, Wayne Throop, the reality is very different. Succeeding as a real estate salesperson requires resourcefulness, patience, perseverance, and creativity. As Wayne shares in this impactful book, it also requires a paradigm shift: you are not signing up a "j-o-b" when you get your real estate licence. You are starting a small business that could either fail in a year or two, or take you to the pinnacle of financial independence. In this "manual of hope" Wayne shares who you need to be, what equipment you need to have, and what actions you must take in order to propel your dream of real estate success into the six-figure range and beyond. "Wayne's book is a Godsend to anyone who is considering real estate, who is looking to re-invigorate their career, or who is just looking to refresh their business. Real Estate IS a business... and you have to treat it like a business! You need a plan.. you need direction... you need a budget... you need to surround yourself with positive like-minded people... you need to succeed! This book will help you do all of that!"- Kent Browne, Broker/Owner/Founder of Royal LePage Team Realty
Stock Strategies Success Through Machine Learning.
In 2023 about 61% of adults in the United States invested money in the stock market. The goal of stock market trading, done by both large institutions and individuals, is of course to make a profit. However, many day traders and individual investors fail when it comes to making a good return. Many trades are influenced by psychology and emotion rather than data, which can be analyzed to determine the best stocks to buy at any given time. Algorithmic trading can be used to solve some of these obstacles for individual investors. Algorithmic trading involves setting up rules that cause trades to be automatically executed when specific criteria are met. Some trading strategies can be profitable and many depend on timing and historical data. In this thesis the goal is to predict the best trading strategies for stocks over a given period of time. Furthermore the goal is to predict the best trading strategy to buy and sell a stock during each hour of the trading day. It was possible to predict whether or not trading strategies would be profitable at each hour of the trading day with 69.93% accuracy, beating a baseline value of 50%. It was possible to predict the best strategy overall per hour of the trading day with 29.54% accuracy, beating a baseline value of 11.11%.

Rich Woman, Poor Woman
Record levels of women are retiring in poverty - the current figure is 1 in 6 in Australia. Should we be surprised when women earn less than men, shoulder the load when it comes to unpaid work at home, and take more and longer breaks from paid work to have children? The difference between a rich woman and a poor woman is very often financial literacy. Australia has a superannuation system, the envy of many other countries in world, and most of us don't understand it. Super school doesn't exist. Financial literacy as a wider topic has been taught in high schools since 2015 but, somehow, the crucial subject of superannuation is left out of the mix. Rich Woman, Poor Woman addresses this knowledge gap. Well-researched, practical and written in an easy-to-read style, Rich Woman, Poor Woman explores: - What exactly is super, and how it can work harder for you - How to adopt super money habits and make a plan to achieve financial independence - Set and forget strategies to grow your super faster - Hacks for all ages: women in their 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s.
Speaking with Spirit
Speaking with Spirit: A Guide for Christian Speakers was deemed "the most thorough treatment on the subject of public speaking I have ever seen" by Linus Wright, Former Under Secretary in the U.S. Department of Education. Vassallo published a former edition of this book in 1990, which was declared a "must for an excellent collection of books of this genre" by the American Library Association.Endorsements"This extraordinary piece of work is the most thorough treatment on the subject of public speaking I have ever seen. Speaking with Spirit is full of factual information organized in easily recognizable categories. I was particularly gratified to find not only a catalog of possible openings for different types of speeches but also an example of each taken from a successful presentation. When you have finished Wanda's book, you will regard speaking before an audience as something to anticipate with confidence and optimism."-LINUS WRIGHT, Former Under Secretary, U.S. Department of Education, and Dallas Schools Superintendent"At last! A public speaking book written especially for Christian speakers. Wanda's book will serve as a trusted guide for the novice speaker as well as a valuable reference for the experienced speaker cast onto unfamiliar turf, such as appearing on television for the first time. Her examples of different genres of speeches, tailor-made for Christian audiences, provide a treasure trove of proven material."-MAMIE MCCULLOUGH, Motivational Speaker and Author"I am so pleased that Wanda has written another book on speaking. Her previous book on the subject proved to be very popular at our conferences. We sold several hundred copies. Wanda has spoken at our conferences over the years and has always been a favorite among our people. I know this book will be well received. I am eager to begin offering it to our conference attendees."-REG A. FORDER, Director of American Christian Writers"This book by Wanda Vassallo will be much appreciated and used by pastors and leaders in Christian churches, as well as by speakers in other contexts. Having served as a pastor for 28 years, as well as being a theological educator and a denominational executive, I am called on to speak in a variety of settings. Based on my experiences, I know that Wanda's book will be a priceless resource for the Christian leader. I recommend it without reservation."-REV. RONALD E. VALLET, D.Min., Author, Adjunct Professor, McMaster Divinity College; Pastor, Fredonia Baptist Church, Fredonia, N.Y.; Minister for Stewardship and Mission Support, American Baptist Churches of New York"I taught Communications in a Christian University for many years and often used Jesus Christ as an example of the greatest of the communicators. Naturally, I directed my students to scriptures that verified that fact, but I never had a complete scriptural reference to Christ's sermons, teachings, speeches, and arguments. Now, Wanda Vassallo has included in her first-rate public speaking textbook, a chapter on "Jesus as a Speaker-Our Example!" This is a true blessing for the Christian speech teacher. It's all there in Dr. Vassallo's book-all the scripture references, the interpretations of those scriptures, and the speech "techniques" of Christ! It's all there in a textbook that goes on to tell the student and the teacher how best to present oneself before an audience. It's all there in one volume-a complete course in public speaking. A text like this with Jesus as the master speaker has long been needed. Now, it's available. Our prayers have been answered. Thank you, Dr. Wanda Vassallo!"-DR. ROSE-MARY RUMBLEY, University Professor, Professional Speaker, and Author
The rancour and progress of inclusive education for human rights
Teacher Training in the Context of Interculturality Teachers in the current socio-historical scenario need to bear in mind that the classroom is a plural space par excellence, and encompasses the most different subjects from the most varied social classes who are being formed in time and space, and it is in these spaces that cultural diversities are organising themselves and structuring their different histories. It is in these spaces that cultural diversities are organising and structuring their different histories, and it is in building their histories that multiculturalism is splashing across their visions nowadays, because there is the possibility of seeing the 'Anthrophos' subject in all its fullness to the extent that they can live together without xenophobic feelings in the same school space. In this scenario, the teacher has the arduous task of pedagogical mediation for all the diversity that presents itself, safeguarding the physical or organic deficiencies of each subject, as well as knowing how to mediate scientific knowledge with all those who have learning difficulties of any kind. From this perspective, when working with human diversity, teachers also need to build their history as educators, as masters of the art of mediation.
People with schizophrenia
Schizophrenia is one of today's main mental health problems, which, however, can be traced back centuries to primitive beliefs, imaginary ideals, aberrations, myths of witchcraft and magic. Until the end of the Middle Ages and for a long time afterwards, the polymorphism of mental illness still had no scientific basis, just empirical practices and knowledge that didn't run in a straight line. This study consists of a critical review of the literature, the aims of which are to describe the nursing care provided to schizophrenic individuals and to rethink such care for this particular group, as well as their families.
Inclusion and deafness
In the past, people with disabilities were on the margins of society, excluded or isolated in specialised institutions. In the case of deaf people, it took many years before they won the right to communicate using signs and to have their own language recognised. Inclusion is a phenomenon that emerged as a result of many struggles on behalf of people with disabilities and has brought about a new paradigm for the actions of society and public authorities. Several laws in Brazil support people with disabilities today and are the result of discussions that include the educational field.
Training in Early Childhood Education through Art
Considering arts education as the fundamental basis for the integral development of children in early childhood education, this study analyzes the current training practices of kindergarten education professionals in artistic disciplines in some Chilean universities. There is little information about the artistic training received by these professionals. The study is carried out through interviews that gather the opinion of educators, students and university teachers regarding the need to incorporate new proposals in relation to artistic disciplines, applicable in classrooms from infants to 6 years of age. It is also observed the incorporation of artistic education within the curriculum. Various proposals are generated from the viewpoint of educators, Kindergarten Education students, university teachers and experts, which aim to contribute from the artistic languages to the initial training of kindergarten or early childhood education professionals.
He Greener, the Better

Tourism in Uganda is mainly linked to Uganda's wildlife but also its landscapes. It is one of the main sectors of employment and investment. Finally, it is one of the main sources of foreign exchange, contributing 4.9 billion Ugandan shillings (1.88 billion US dollars or 1.4 billion euros in August 2013) to Uganda's GDP during of the 2012-13 financial year. Tourism contributes to the fight against poverty in Uganda, particularly through the employment of Ugandan nationals as drivers, guides, secretaries, accountants, etc. Tourism can also be used to promote arts and crafts and traditional clothing. The main tourist attractions in Uganda are the national game parks, game reserves, traditional sites and natural rainforests.

Teaching strategies to increase motivation in students
This book is a research report that emanates from the concern to innovate the daily teaching work and that can become a proposal for many teachers who, like the authors, are concerned about reflecting on their teaching practice and, based on the detection of areas of opportunity, intervene to improve it.The concerns of teachers go in many directions, but student motivation is and will always be a current issue, because without it there can be no learning, let alone meaningful learning.
Reflections on reader education and the Brazilian education system
The importance of reading in human life has always been the subject of study by many thinkers. Seen as an essential and necessary tool for learning, it has the capacity to promote individuals, social and economic success and make human beings aware of themselves in the world and in their relationship with it. In this way, we are far from reaching the level of significant literate societies through our schools, due to the lack of appreciation for reading, education and various factors that negatively interfere with the formation of readers and the quality of teaching. Thus, the articles that make up this book address the formation of readers at school, emphasising the marvellous genre, literary tales and comics. They also discuss education in the country and how SPAECE has contributed to improving education in the state of Cear獺. We hope, therefore, to stimulate the search for solutions, reflecting on the attitude of all those who co-operate in the formation of individuals and society, be they teachers, mediators, parents, conscious people, capable of acting, expanding and interfering positively in the world.
Community Therapy Rounds
By making it possible to get to know the participants' life stories, Community Therapy can contribute to an invitation to think about the way humans are as a continuous conception/realisation of a project that finds in existential phenomenology the key that opens up a path to understanding the health professional as a subject, since as well as being a health worker, they are a human person, an active and participating subject with their own singular, plural way of being in the world, in relation to other subject(s). In this way, it also works as a mental health care strategy in primary care for users and primary care workers so that they can enhance their actions, enabling the construction of community-based social solidarity networks to resolve conflicts, both for ESF users and professionals.
Knowledge Production on Physical Education Training in Brazil
Bibliographic surveys show that there has been an increase in the production of knowledge about professional training in Physical Education in Brazil. However, the absence of this mapping makes it difficult to know its stage of development and prevents the identification of significant problems that have not yet been investigated. In this book, I present data on research that subsidises training at postgraduate level and makes it possible to explain this production, its direction, theoretical references, dates and perspectives. The analyses presented are essential for raising awareness about the capitalist relations of production that characterise and permeate the practices of existence and the production of knowledge. The opposition of ideas is found in the mode of production and must be overcome.
The inclusion of people with disabilities in public schools
In view of the legislation regarding the compulsory inclusion of people with disabilities in the regular school system, the authors analysed how this process takes place in a primary school in the municipality of Franca/SP, checking, from the perspective of education professionals, whether this proposal creates effective conditions for learning and developing the potential of students with different types of disabilities. It also reflects on the importance of Social Work in this context. In order to make this diagnosis, it first describes what disability is, followed by an interpretation of some of the laws on the subject, and also presents existing data on the attendance of people with disabilities at mainstream schools in Brazil and in the state of S瓊o Paulo. Secondly, it looks at the role of the school in the inclusion process, assessing teacher training and whether it creates the conditions for professionals to receive students with special educational needs. Finally, it analyses this reality and the possible interventions of social workers in this context.
Non-Invasive Data Governance Strikes Again
Non-Invasive Data Governance Strikes Again provides a blend of 50 applicable lessons learned and perspectives gained from years of assisting organizations worldwide to follow the popular non-invasive approach from the bestseller Non-Invasive Data Governance.Non-Invasive Data Governance (NIDG) does not mean that the governance of data and information will be easy or without trials and tribulations. Non-invasive does not mean that the program will be low impact. The title of this book is a dichotomy: achieving measurable results by being less threatening while the impact of striking with this approach can be huge. NIDG focuses on leveraging existing levels of accountability while addressing opportunities to improve. Read about a new framework for Non-Invasive Data Governance in this book that views the main components of a successful program through different levels and perspectives of the organization.There is not a more prolific source of original ideas in the data governance community than Bob Seiner. He's in the field every day working alongside his clients to help them address real business opportunities and problems.

So if you are looking for guidance on governing your organization's data without requiring significant changes to existing processes or infrastructure let Bob's latest book be your guide.Craig Mullins President & Principal Consultant Mullins Consulting Inc.

Bob Seiner certainly has the pedigree to know what needs to change but he also has the practical experience to make it happen. This book is a key that can help anyone unlock the knowledge that Bob has accumulated the hard way from the experience of many real-life data governance implementations. Everyone should add this to their data bookshelf since no matter the scenario there is likely to be a chapter or essay that will apply and help improve the situation. I can't imagine a better encore to Bob's original Non-Invasive Data Governance book! Anthony Algmin Founder Algmin Data Leadership
Universities under Neoliberalism
The COVID-19 pandemic, the surge of populism, the climate crisis and many other destabilizing factors in our time, all point at the expectation of trustworthy knowledge and reliable organization devoted to knowledge production and dissemination. However, universities remain enmeshed in economic liberalization and ensuing cultural struggles where their funding, governance and practices reflect market imprints - even academic ideals such as originality, or social ideals such as relevance have been transformed into measurable units and thereby risk losing their historical sway. This predicament is the focus of this book.The book explores the rise of neo-liberalization in academic system in a highly unlikely place: Sweden, a country with a strong social democratic tradition and a long history of state regulation of higher education. As an advanced welfare state with a powerful labour movement and a large public sector, market ideals and practices have been carefully curtailed historically. This notwithstanding, a neoliberal university model has evolved there, reshaping notions of academic identities, institutional directions and notions of quality. This edited collection will be of value to researchers, academics and students with an interest in organizational studies, governance, management, higher education, sociology and politics.
Pragmatic Data Governance
Starting a new data governance program? Resetting a program that's stalled? On a tight budget? Apply the "what and how" to deliver data governance. Pragmatic Data Governance is an approach that was able to deliver a functioning program in less than two years. Implement Business-Led Data Governance is the strategy and Synchronize Organizational Opinion Regarding Shared Data Assets is the goal. Six supporting tactical objectives and their activities support the goal and deliver business-led data governance.Pragmatic Data Governance distills on-the-job experience from assignments with banking and government clients over a 14-year period enhanced with books webinars and training modules. Special mention goes to the insights gained from the DAMA Data Management Body of Knowledge (DMBOK).A minimalist and hand-made metadata repository called the Data Governance Integrated Business Glossary (DG-IBG) supports the Pragmatic Data Governance approach. A data governance program catalogs and documents an organization's data asset inventory with business and technical metadata such as definitions data quality rules and table and column details. The DG-IBG is modeled using Oracle SQL Developer Data Modeler and implemented with 60+ tables and 320+ columns in Microsoft SQL Server Express both free downloads from Oracle and Microsoft.By capturing and documenting data issues in the DG-IBG we can support business-side stakeholders in prioritizing and resolving data issues. Reflecting on the data issues gives us insight into data management success factors that may be absent such as formal data quality or master data management programs. This insight supports cost/benefit analysis in business cases for these initiatives.
Resilience in a group of sixth grade elementary school students
The present study was conducted with the general objective of evaluating the results of a program to enhance resilience in a group of sixth grade students of an educational center. Due to its nature, the study was of mixed cut, with an exploratory scope. Forty-two individuals participated, divided into two groups: one with 21 sixth grade students, who were the control group, and the other 21 students, from the same grade, for the experimental group. It was found that there are no statistically significant differences between the averages of the answers given by those in the experimental group and the control group in the post-application of resilience, as well as in each of the factors that make it up. It was concluded that it is necessary to do more studies on the subject in order to find evidence to validate effectively the designed workshop.

Introduction to Mobile Software and Content Development
Mobile development is a rapidly growing field that involves creating software applications for mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. As mobile technology continues to evolve, the demand for skilled developers who can create innovative and functional mobile apps has increased significantly. Mobile software development encompasses the processes and practices involved in creating applications that run on mobile devices. Unlike traditional desktop applications, mobile apps must be optimized for smaller screens, limited processing power, and varying operating systems. Developers need to consider these factors while ensuring that the apps are user-friendly, efficient, and responsive.

Manual for Children's Ups & Downs Design
The project "Design of a seesaw for children with different abilities" consists of designing and structuring a mechanical seesaw for children with psychomotor problems in special wheelchairs, who require entertainment during recreation time at the Multiple Attention Center #19 (CAM #19). The design of the device represents a rather complex challenge since it not only consists of the mechanical design of the device, but there are also variables that will control the final design. These variables are both the physical and psychological safety of the child in the wheelchair who will be using the device. By obtaining psychological data on the child's behavior and stimulations, physical, static and dynamic parameters can be defined for the design of the mechanism.

The Retirement Income Shift
Recently, I began working with a client who should have been living his best life. He had entered retirement just ten years earlier with a $1.2 million portfolio, a large family home, a luxury vacation home, and plans to someday leave his children a large estate. He and his wife enjoyed travel, treating family members to memorable vacations, participating in meaningful hobbies, supporting charities important to them, and hosting the best parties in town. This was the life he had worked, saved, and invested for decades to achieve. Yet as we looked at his current situation, he was in tears. That $1.2 million portfolio was down to $470,000. There was a very real possibility that if he didn't make some major changes, he would run out of money within a few years.I'm sure you don't want this to happen to you. Instead, your retirement years become your "golden" years, when you have the money that you need to last the rest of your life. Throughout this book, you will learn how to use a conservative yet dynamic strategy to align your investments to reach your goals. By using the wisdom of math and logic, you can help assure yourself a comfortable retirement that lasts as long as you do.By the end of this book, you will have: An understanding of how to use the Income + Growth = Total Return equation to make your investments last a lifetime. Learned how to use math and logic to determine the best investments for your specific needs. Learned why commonly accepted investment maxims shouldn't be so commonly accepted. And been provided with specific strategies to make sure you have enough income in retirement to live the life you want to live. You are going to hear countless ways to create income while you're building your portfolio; unfortunately, there are only two ways that you will get income from your portfolio once you retire. The first way, and the most common, is engineering income by taking withdrawals from your assets. If you think about it, you can call each withdrawal a set amount of income for you to spend as needed. You can set these withdrawals on autopilot to be paid to you monthly. The question is: Where is the income coming from? I wrote this book to provide options for you to consider as you build, and then withdraw from, your financial portfolio.

Over Work
"Brigid Schulte is a vital voice on the future of work, and her carefully researched book lights the way to fewer hours, less stress, and more meaning." ―Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and Hidden Potential, and host of the podcast WorkLife From the New York Times bestselling author of Overwhelmed, a deeply reported exploration of why American work isn't working and how our lives can be made more meaningful Following Overwhelmed, Brigid Schulte's groundbreaking examination of time management and stress, the prizewinning journalist now turns her attention to the greatest culprit in America's quality-of-life crisis: the way our economy and culture conceive of work. Americans across all demographics, industries, and socioeconomic levels report exhaustion, burnout, and the wish for more meaningful lives. This full-system failure in our structure of work affects everything from gender inequality to domestic stability, and it even shortens our lifespans. Drawing on years of research, Schulte traces the arc of our discontent from a time before the 1980s, when work was compatible with well-being and allowed a single earner to support a family, until today, with millions of people working multiple hourly jobs or in white-collar positions where no hours are ever off duty. She casts a wide net in search of solutions, exploring the movement to institute a four-day workweek, introducing Japan's Housewives Brigade--which demands legal protection for family time--and embedding with CEOs who are making the business case for humane conditions. And she demonstrates the power of a collective and creative demand for change, showing that work can be organized in an infinite number of ways that are good for humans and for business. Fiercely argued and vividly told, rich with stories and informed by deep investigation, Over Work lays out a clear vision for ending our punishing grind and reclaiming leisure, joy, and meaning.
