Interactive Cases In Financial Analysis CD ROM

Book Description

A self-contained training program for students seeking careers in banking institutions, this series of three case studies prepares them for real-world lending decisions. These cases simulate the lending process by requiring students to analyze actual financial statements, press releases of the company, prominent business journal commentary, and industry data. Based on this analysis, they then must determine whether to extend a letter of credit to the company and write up the recommendations based upon their research. This multimedia interactive CD-ROM prepares students for the demands and risks they encounter in their banking careers.

Book Description

For a quantitative understanding of the physics of the universe - from the solar system through the milky way to clusters of galaxies all the way to cosmology - these edited lecture notes are perhaps among the most concise and also among the most critical ones: Astrophysics has not yet stood the redundancy test of laboratory physics, hence should be wary of early interpretations. Special chapters are devoted to magnetic and radiation processes, supernovae, disks, black-hole candidacy, bipolar flows, cosmic rays, gamma-ray bursts, image distortions, and special sources. At the same time, planet earth is viewed as the arena for life, with plants and animals having evolved to homo sapiens during cosmic time.

This text is unique in covering the basic qualitative and quantitative tools, formulae as well as numbers, needed for the precise interpretation of frontline phenomena in astrophysical research. The author compares mainstream interpretations with new and even controversial ones he wishes to emphasize.

The second edition includes numerous updates throughout the book and, in addition, it contains a list of alternative explanations to astrophysical findings that can be seen as a serious testing ground for young scientists.

a disappointing manual for ether huffing.......2000-09-02

I bought this book based on its compelling title, expecting a "tips and tricks" guide to that time-honored American pastime, huffing ether. First off, I guess I have myself to blame since when I put in the order here on Amazon, my Samoan attorney had just dropped a full liter of ether on our shag carpet. To boot, I already had a rag in my face (what else is new?). There is no mention of how to prepare a rag or proper storage of ether anywhere to be found in this book. (By the way, the best place for ether is a refrigerator in Saratoga Springs). Anyway, do yourself a favor and buy instead Commander X's "Guide to Levitation" if you really want to get high. In fact, Commander X was the man who turned me on to the sweet, oh sweet ether. Huff away, boys.

A Historical Introduction.......2000-04-20

Ether Technology is an easy to pick up, informative, no-nonsense and enlightning book on eletro-gravitic theory and the history of alternative propulsion.

It offers a fairly comprehensive summary of the subject matter throughout, with a quote-worthy forward by astronaut Edgar C. Mitchell. If you are interested in antigravitation, this is an excellent compendium of accumulated knowladge and history on the subject.

A great overview of basic electrogravitic theory.......2000-01-24

Well, what can I say?

The anonymous "Rho Sigma" (come on, it's not that hard to work out) brings us a brilliant compendium of devices and electrogravitic theory. Many of the illustrations within the book have been on a number of T T Brown websites without me even knowing it! The quality is superb, offering a balanced slice of the development of overunity and UFO physics. Anyone else know that one of Brown's electrogravitic motors provided an overunity of over 100,000:1?

One or two gripes - why call the Searl Effect Generator an "Ether Vortex Turbine" and then describe them as if they were two separate devices in the foreword and contents of the book? Having met Searl personally, I am pretty sure that he never referred to the SEG as such.

Book Description

Divorce rates are at an all-time high. But without a theoretical understanding of the processes related to marital stability and dissolution, it is difficult to design and evaluate new marriage interventions. The Mathematics of Marriage provides the foundation for a scientific theory of marital relations. The book does not rely on metaphors, but develops and applies a mathematical model using difference equations. The work is the fulfillment of the goal to build a mathematical framework for the general system theory of families first suggested by Ludwig Von Bertalanffy in the 1960s.

The book also presents a complete introduction to the mathematics involved in theory building and testing, and details the development of experiments and models. In one "marriage experiment," for example, the authors explored the effects of lowering or raising a coupleï¿½s heart rates. Armed with their mathematical model, they were able to do real experiments to determine which processes were affected by their interventions.

Applying ideas such as phase space, null clines, influence functions, inertia, and uninfluenced and influenced stable steady states (attractors), the authors show how other researchers can use the methods to weigh their own data with positive and negative weights. While the focus is on modeling marriage, the techniques can be applied to other types of psychological phenomena as well.

Chapter 2 with an overview of marriage research was fascinating. Chapters 3-8 with a discussion of non-linear modeling and catastrophe theory were very clear.

The sections applying the non-linear modeling to marriage interactions were less convincing. Part of the problem is that each non-linear model concerns a single discussion rather than the state of a marriage as a whole. A marriage with two steady states is one thing; a conversation with two steady states is something else.

Gottman's previous work has found that the ratio of positive to negative interactions in a single marriage discussion can strongly predict whether the married couples will divorce. Couples with a good marriages had an average of a 5 to 1 positive/negative ratio while couples that ended up divorcing had an average of a 0.8 to 1 positive/negative ratio. Not surprisingly, the parameters of the functions of the nonlinear models were also different between the divorcing and the happily married couples, but it isn't clear that the additional complexity gets the authors much, if any, analytical benefit.

Excellent!.......2006-08-08

I love John Gottman's work and I assign him regularily to my students. His work on partnership processes has always been first-rate and this book is no exception. Don't let the math scare you--it is an interesting read, indeed!

Excellent, but for two different purposes.......2006-01-14

This book has an excellent introduction to model building; one of the best I have ever read. Starts with easy math and college stuff you probably forgot much of, then shows how to do great and unexpected things with it. You dont have to know all the math to see how powerful it can be for exploring any relation: man:woman, customer:seller, investor:company. What attracts them, engages them and holds them. When it doesnt work, why not. The other use? People who want to understand better why marriages work or dont. The findings the authors made are here. You dont need to know or even read the math parts to be able to use the findings, which are new and powerful. Certainly worth $28 bucks and a read.

Hilarious.......2003-05-02

This book offers common sense for marriages, but now it adds math. If both partners have the mathematics background and enjoy complex equations, this book is worth the value in entertainment. Modelling your marriage is just plain goofy, which adds to the novelty of this book.

If you don't enjoy sitting down and going through a math book doing the problems and setting up equations, this is not the book for you.

Book Description

Fourth in the Barsetshire Chronicles, FRAMLEY PARSONAGE was published in 1860. In it the values of a Victorian gentleman, the young clergyman Mark Robarts, are put to the test.

Like much fiction of 19th century England, FRAMLEY PARSONAGE concerns property, status, family and the conventions. In it Trollope captures the essence of Victorian England.

The Barsetshire Chronicles include THE WARDEN, BARCHESTER TOWERS, DOCTOR THORNE, FRAMLEY PARSONAGE, THE SMALL HOUSE AT ALLINGTON and THE LAST CHRONICLE OF BARSET.

Download Description

It will be necessary that I should say a word or two of some of the people named in the few preceding pages, and also of the localities in which they lived. Of Lady Lufton herself enough, perhaps, has been written to introduce her to my readers. The Framley property belonged to her son; but as Lufton Park--an ancient ramshackle place in another county--had heretofore been the family residence of the Lufton family.

Painting yourself into a corner.......2007-09-11

In this novel we find one Mark Robarts, clergyman and parson of Framley. He is an ambitious young man desirous of rising in society. He is friends since childhood with Lord Lufton who makes an unfortunate introduction in the person of Sowerby who seduces poor Mark into signing his name to a debt which the parson cannot afford.

Mark Robarts's father passes away early on and his sister Lucy joins Mark and his wife at Framley Parsonage where Lord Lufton falls in love with her. Two more couples form and while I won't reveal how any of these relationships work out it wouldn't really matter if I did. Trollope's plots usually vary from bad to good but they are hardly ever of any importance anyway. What is important in a Trollope novel isn't what the plot is or how it concludes, it's how it works itself out and how Trollope paints his characters.

The characters in Framley Parsonage are a little whiter and blacker than those of the previous novels in the Barsetshire series. Sowerby is by far and away the blackest and Trollope was so effective in painting him black that towards the end he clumsily appeals directly to the reader and assures us Sowerby isn't really as bad a fellow as he seems.

Dr. Thorne and his niece Mary Gresham appear (from Doctor Thorne) as do the Grantlys and the Proudies (from Barchester Towers). Lucy Robarts is a fascinating woman even more headstrong here than Mary Gresham was in Doctor Thorne, but my favourite character in this novel is Lady Lufton. She opposes her son's desire to court and marry Lucy but does so politely and with consideration. At the same time, Lucy behaves in way Lady Lufton can only find irreproachable. So of course, not having anything with which to reproach Lucy, Lady Lufton has nothing with which to oppose her son's suit. And yet she does. How will this three-sided battle of wills, pitting Lord Lufton against his mother against Lucy against her suitor, resolve itself?

Well, that would be telling, wouldn't it? Let's just say that Lady Lufton has painted herself into a corner and let us leave it at that.

All in all, another fine example of Trollope's mastery of moral calculus.

sticks to your ribs.......2006-09-04

I'm reading the Barset series in order and have not been disappointed yet. Framley Parsonage is substantive, richer than The Warden, more serious than Barchester Towers, similar in much to Doctor Thorne, and slightly more intricate than DT. I enjoyed the introduction of a healthy dose of political gamesmanship in the form of descriptions of the parliamentary machinations and electioneering strategies. One also learns how to conduct financial shennanigans with horses, farmland, and public forests. The characters in FP are textured and almost always believable; there's only a few caricatures here. As always, the Everyman's edition is accompanied by a lucid introduction and helpful timetable.

Transcendent beauty .......2006-07-01

As a sixty-two year old professor of English literature and a compulsive reader, I have read many, many novels in my life, and most of Trollope's (for they are, indeed, habit-forming), but this one is perhaps my favorite. I have not read it since 1982, but when I open the cover and look at the fly-leaf, I feel the special delight that I felt when I first read it. Like Austen's Emma, it is one of those perfect books you should not miss.

From the Guardian of the Human Heart..........2004-02-18

If you shy away from Victorian novels because you had to read A TALE OF TWO CITIES in high school, it is time to give these treasures another try. Admit it, you are a bit older now. So are these books by Dickens, Disraeli, Thackary, Austen, the Bronte sisters, and, yes, my personal favorite, the great man himself, Anthony Trollope.

Why read something that was written a century and a half ago? Because Trollope knew more about the human psyche than Freud and Jung put together, and wrote about it not with a clinician's jaundiced eye, but with incredible tenderness and love. And entertainingly, to boot!

If you have been reading the Jan Karon novels about life in a small North Carolina highlands town, as it revolves around an Episcopal priest named Father Tim and his colorful parishioners, well!--this is where it all began. A book version of finding the source of the Nile.

Trollope began what Karon has revised and restyled so engagingly. Trollope invented the "church and town" novel, with what have become known as his Bartchester Series of novels, all centering around the doings of a fictitious cathedral town and its outlying countryside.

Not the first in the series, (it is the fourth but perhaps the best), FRAMLEY PARSONAGE traces the faith, home and political lives of a number of intertwining families. Here you will find love, ambition, political maneuvering, gambling debts, pretension, humility, envy, forgiveness, hate, romance. If it sounds like a slice of modern life-it is. We and the Victorians are so much alike; the human condition does not change.

In this delightful mix of clerical, political and romantic intrigue, you will meet everyone from the alarmingly meddlesome bishop's wife, Mrs. Proudie, to the original dizzy blond, Griselda Grantly. All set in the green countryside and the bustling streets of London.

The story centers around the bright, popular pastor, Mark Robarts and his charming wife, but it is his sister, Lucy, who will capture your heart as perhaps the loveliest of heroines in any novel.

I hope you are intrigued enough to be convinced that there is more to Nineteenth Century British Literature than SILAS MARNER. Moreover, I hope you will read this and the other Trollope works. You may recall that in addition to being one of the most successful and acclaimed novelist of all times, Trollope was also a successful and acclaimed civil servant-his "day job" was with the British postal system-he invented the corner mailbox. His more than 40 novels and outstanding autobiography were written in his very disciplined "spare time" in which he produced a specific number of pages every morning before departing punctually for his office. Not only a genius of time management, Trollope was and is a guardian of the human heart.

What? You say you would rather start at the beginning of the Bartchester series? By all means! But if you do not, try FRAMLY PARSONAGE first. Dip your toe in there-for you cannot dip your toe into any of his books without emerging the better, having done so.

If you find this review helpful you might want to read some of my other reviews, including those on subjects ranging from biography to architecture, as well as religion and fiction.

A Good Woman.......2002-10-17

Although this book is centered on the matter of Mark Robarts and his moral dilemma, we also encounter his sister, Lucy. She is one who is presented to us as a real Christian woman. She takes on herself the care of Mrs Crawley who is suffering with a deadly fever. Lucy is the ideal woman, beautiful, charitable, caring. She deserves the very best and is rewarded for her efforts by becoming Lady Lufton. Mark on the other hand, suffers a great deal largely from ill-advised friendship with Sowerby. Mark wants to achieve status by ill-advised social connections. Thankfully he is saved from ruin by his friends.

This dramatization of Dr. Thorne and Framley Parsonage by Anthony Trollope presents listeners with a playful romp through late-19th-century English country life. Trollope, who felt the chief purpose of a book was to be readable, would no doubt be pleased with this eminently ear-friendly production of his work. Read by English actors and highlighted with background music, the clip-clop of horse hooves, and the rumblings of villagers, this audio version--originally conceived for BBC Radio--has the feel of Masterpiece Theater. Against the backdrop of the universal search for a perfect love, the stories of Dr. Thorne and Framley Parsonage offer a satirical look at the English class system. Rife with irony and populated by virtuous heroines, good uncles, impossible mothers, and the usual louts, these stories are distinguished by Trollope's fine dialogue and pacing. While the plot of Dr. Thorne is rather predictable, things do heat up in Framley Parsonage: bailiffs come knocking on the overly ambitious clergyman's door, and we fear that his compassionate sister may contract typhoid fever as she escapes the wrath of her betrothed's mother. The frailties of human nature are, of course, timeless. As a scene with a scheming campaign manager in Dr. Thorne demonstrates, the overly mannered, oft-frivolous, and ever hypocritical Victorian world created by Trollope is not so far-removed from today's world as a listener might think. ( Four tapes; running time: 225 minutes)

Book Description

BBC Radio Presents' classic dramatization of Trollope's gently satirical moral tales of provincial life--contains two novels from Trollope's famous Barchester series.

Dr.Thorne
An ironic but affectionate drama of wealth and wedlock starring John Wood, Leo McKern, Amanda Root and Eleanor Bron. Dr. Thorne, one of Trollope's most popular novels, is the story of the apparently penniless social outcast Mary Thorne and Frank Gresham whose lot it becomes to save his landed family's ailing fortunes by making a 'good marriage'. But his lack of hypocrisy and his love for Mary suggests a different outcome which can only be realized with the revelation of a secret known only to the good Dr. Thorne himself.

Framely Parsonage
This classic novel captures the essence of Victorian England--where property, status, family and convention were paramount. Mark Robarts is a naive and ambitious young clergyman whose unwise association with spendthrift Sowerby and the dissolute Duke of Omnium brings him almost to the brink of ruin. Trollope's compassionately moral comedy features some of the most familiar characters of the series and stars David Haig, Anna Massey, Rosemary Leach and Kenneth Cranham.
