Mr g by Alan Lightman Pdf

Alan Lightman, the internationally bestselling author of Einstein's Dreams, presents Mr g, a celebration of the highs and lows of existence, on the grandest possible scale: the story of Creation, as told by God. Once before time existed, Mr g woke up from a nap and decided to create the universe. In the shimmering Void, where he lives with his Aunt Penelope and Uncle Deva, he creates time, space, and matter. Soon follow stars, planets, animate matter, consciousness,and intelligent beings with moral dilemmas. But the creation of space and time has unintended consequences, including the arrival of Belhor, a clever and devious rival. Belhor delights in needling Mr g, demanding explanations for the inexplicable, offering his own opinions on the fledgling universes, and maintaining the necessity of evil. As Mr g’s favorite universe grows, he discovers how an act of creation can change everything in the world—including the creator himself.

Mr. G's Battle Cry! La Causa De La Raza Wants You by Javier Gomez Pdf

A wave of revolution swept across the United States in the sixties and the seventies. And across California, Cesar Chavez sparked the Chicano civil rights movement in the barrio, giving prominence to new leaders, new voices, and new demands for freedom from injustice and oppression. For young Javier Gomez, this battle cry would be the beginning of a fight to stand up to injustice in his home of East LA. In Mr. Gs Battle Cry!, author and civil rights activist Javier Gomez chronicles his march into the streets of East LA and beyond as he and his Chicano and Chicana brothers and sisters take up the cause of the civil rights movement and create hope for a better futureagainst great odds. Gomez also explores the history of his people, showing how their culture and their spirit was renewed during this historic era of equality and justice. Javier Gomez was inspired by the Chicano civil rights movement, and today his battle cry endures. Mr. Gs Battle Cry! gives voice to the enlightened individuals who fought, side by side, at protests, and in the streets, against the institutions of injustice that sought to keep the people silent. And today, this cultural revolution has left a living legacy of change, progress, and hope.

Mr. G and His Ladies is a beautiful and gritty tale of loyalty, love, and spiritual connection between societies lost and overlooked. These new bonds create a family born in the blood of society's wretches.

There, Govinda creates a new life of love, joy, and retribution. The growing family strengthens and elevates with each trial and tragedy that tests their bonds. Celebration and joy never allow the eclectic family to be defeated by life's darkest corners. The karmic wheel Govinda began turning decades before comes full circle under the marquee of Mr. G's legacy.

More cold comfort by Great Britain: Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman Pdf

The Parliamentary Ombudsman, Ann Abraham, has upheld complaints from nine farmers about the Government's handling of a subsidy scheme which caused them to miss out on payments they were entitled to. The farmers complained to the Ombudsman about the administration of the Single Payment Scheme (SPS) in 2005 and 2006 by the Rural Payments Agency (RPA), part of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), The SPS is the latest generation of the EU schemes intended, among other policy aims, to give farmers direct income support. The farmers complained about RPA's handling of their claims to the SPS on a number of counts, including that they provided poor quality and sometimes ambiguous guidance on how to make a claim; failed to return applicants' telephone calls when this had been promised; misdirected applicants about the status of their cases; delayed letting applicants know that they would not be paid; and did not explain their decisions properly. RPA also failed to consider the effects their errors and omissions had on the farmers when they came to complain. In one case, a farmer misunderstood the new form and only claimed a subsidy for the year 2005. She did not activate her claim and subsequently did not receive a payment. No one questioned her mistake, even though RPA knew this was a common error by farmers. Losing a payment of over £13,000 left the farmer unable to pay all her bills and reliant on her partner's goodwill. She found out her mistake almost a year after submitting her claim, when she asked what had happened to her payment. Another farmer also misunderstood the new form and guidance and did not activate his claim. He was then led to believe by the RPA that he would be paid, which was not the case. He and his wife found the confusion and uncertainty of their circumstances particularly stressful. The farmer had to increase his overdraft, sell land and take on extra part time work in order to meet the financial shortfall. As a result of the Ombudsman's investigation the farmers will each receive a written apology from the Permanent Secretary of Defra and compensation of £500 for the inconvenience, distress and frustration that they experienced. They will also receive individual payments to put right the financial impact of RPA's failures. In addition, the Ombudsman has also asked RPA to provide an action plan setting out the changes they have made to prevent other farmers experiencing the same problems in future.

Your Everyday Guide To Behavioural Finance by Prakash Praharaj Pdf

Since the start of the 20th century, India’s GDP has been growing at an average of 6-7 per cent and the World Bank predicts India to become one of the fastest growing major economies in the world. The lack of social security benefits for the common citizen coupled with favourable factors like structural reforms, young population, high rates of savings and consumption, and waves of digitalisation and financialisation are driving both domestic and global investors to the Indian capital market in pursuit of higher risk-adjusted return. But with the increasing globalisation and rising volatility, the common investors often fall prey to their personal biases (fear, greed, overconfidence, loss aversion, etc.). This behaviour is at variance with traditional finance which holds that the investors are rational and markets are efficient. The overload of investment tips flowing from television, print, social media, conferences, and investment gurus further adds to investor confusion. Prakash Praharaj and Nirakar Pradhan, two well-known investment advisors, have come together to document their decades-long learnings and practical experience into a very useful, comprehensive volume. Your Everyday Guide to Behavioural Finance sheds light on the theory of behavioural finance and nineteen dominant behavioural biases in an accessible and easy-to-understand manner. It offers a framework for identifying, assessing, and managing one’s own behavioural traits (biases) to enhance investment success. The book also recommends Behaviourally Modified Asset Allocation (BMAA), a tool to synchronise the investment portfolio with the life cycle of the investors. So, whether you are a financial advisor, portfolio manager, or an individual investor yourself, Your Everyday Guide to Behavioural Finance will provide you with an integrated perspective to craft efficient and effective investment strategies irrespective of external market noises.
