Cоmmоn indiсеѕ include Stаndаrd and Poor's (S&P) 500, Russell 2000, Wilshire 5000, etc. This invеѕtmеnt vehicle is quite possibly thе mоѕt popular mutuаl fund орtiоn available tо invеѕtоrѕ frоm individuаl to inѕtitutiоnаl invеѕtоrѕ.  Thе indеx is a раѕѕivеlу mаnаgеd fund, mеаning thе fund iѕ nоt actively mаnаgеd by a реrѕоn mаking dесiѕiоnѕ. The simplicity оf replicating a mаrkеt like thе Russell 2000 rеԛuirеѕ littlе dесiѕiоn mаking tо pick stocks. In other words, the Ruѕѕеll 2000 index fund would mirror thе ѕаmе 2000 ѕtосkѕ in the Russell 2000.  Althоugh it'ѕ соmmоnlу preferred by small investors, indеx funds appeal tо a wide array оf invеѕtоrѕ bесаuѕе оf their аdvаntаgеѕ. Mоѕt notably, an index ѕuсh аѕ the S&P 500 hаѕ hiѕtоriсаllу outperformed other асtivеlу mаnаgеd роrtfоliоѕ.  Hоw'ѕ a non-managed fund аblе tо bеаt Wаll Strееt рrоfеѕѕiоnаlѕ? Thе fund асtuаllу hаѕ lоwеr expense rаtiоѕ, whiсh means thе real rеturnѕ become mаgnifiеd over thе long run. On аvеrаgе, thе еxреnѕе ratio iѕ rоughlу 1.9 percent fоr mоѕt nоn-indеxеd fundѕ. Hоwеvеr, with аn indеx, уоu'll find the ratio close tо 0.1 percent еxреnѕеѕ. This iѕ аttributеd tо thе lоw mаintеnаnсе invоlvеd in managing the роrtfоliо. It tаkеѕ less timе аnd rеѕоurсеѕ to mаnаgе thiѕ tуре оf fund.  You will learn: Whу yоu shоuldn't follow thе hеrd when it comes to investing Thrее practical rеаѕоnѕ tо invеѕt in indеx fundѕ Mutuаl fundѕ - ETF fundѕ and index funds Indеx-fund trаding using technical anаlуѕiѕ аnd swing-trаding strаtеgiеѕ  ungekürzt.

  The Man from the Future: The Visionary Life of John Von Neumann

  The smartphones in our pockets and computers like brains. The vagaries of game theory and evolutionary biology. Nuclear weapons and self-replicating spacecrafts. All bear the fingerprints of one remarkable, yet largely overlooked, man: John von Neumann. Born in Budapest at the turn of the century, von Neumann is one of the most influential scientists to have ever lived. A child prodigy, he mastered calculus by the age of eight, and in high school made lasting contributions to mathematics. In Germany, where he helped lay the foundations of quantum mechanics, and later at Princeton, von Neumann's colleagues believed he had the fastest brain on the planet-bar none. He was instrumental in the Manhattan Project and the design of the atom bomb; he helped formulate the bedrock of Cold War geopolitics and modern economic theory; he created the first ever programmable digital computer; he prophesized the potential of nanotechnology; and, from his deathbed, he expounded on the limits of brains and computers-and how they might be overcome. Taking us on an astonishing journey, Ananyo Bhattacharya explores how a combination of genius and unique historical circumstance allowed a single man to sweep through a stunningly diverse array of fields, sparking revolutions wherever he went. The Man from the Future is an insightful and thrilling intellectual biography of the visionary thinker who shaped our century.

  Remote Workplace Culture

  The way we work has changed and a strong and supportive company culture is key for success. When employees are working remotely, even if only occasionally, HR professionals and business leaders need to think differently. Practitioners now need to motivate their workforce, support talent development, ensure an inclusive environment and protect their employees' mental health, all without being in the same physical space. A strong and effective company culture that is built specifically with this purpose in mind is key. Remote Workplace Culture is a practical guide that shows how to achieve this and explains why simply replicating what used to happen in the office in a virtual environment doesn't work. This book shows how a strong culture for remote workers helps attract the best talent, whether this is nationally or globally and also explains how to prioritize inclusion. There is also specific guidance on wellbeing initiatives, how to replace social learning in a partially remote working culture and how to avoid common pitfalls such as an overreliance on technology, the blurring of work/life boundaries and a misunderstanding of remote working etiquette. Supported by case studies from global organizations including Facebook, the BBC, Trello Inc and Direct Line Insurance, this is essential reading for all HR professionals and business leaders needing to develop strong company culture in the new world of work.

  The Visioneers: How a Group of Elite Scientists Pursued Space Colonies, Nanotechnologies, and a Limitless Future , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 664min

  In 1969, Princeton physicist Gerard O'Neill began looking outward to space colonies as the new frontier for humanity's expansion. A decade later, Eric Drexler, an MIT-trained engineer, turned his attention to the molecular world as the place where society's future needs could be met using self-replicating nanoscale machines. These modern utopians predicted that their technologies could transform society as humans mastered the ability to create new worlds, undertook atomic-scale engineering, and, if truly successful, overcame their own biological limits. The Visioneers tells the story of how these scientists and the communities they fostered imagined, designed, and popularized speculative technologies such as space colonies and nanotechnologies. Patrick McCray traces how these visioneers blended countercultural ideals with hard science, entrepreneurship, libertarianism, and unbridled optimism about the future. He shows how they built networks that communicated their ideas to writers, politicians, and corporate leaders. But the visioneers were not immune to failure - or to the lures of profit, celebrity, and hype. O'Neill and Drexler faced difficulty funding their work and overcoming colleagues' skepticism, and saw their ideas co-opted and transformed by Timothy Leary, the scriptwriters of Star Trek, and many others. Ultimately, both men struggled to overcome stigma and ostracism as they tried to unshackle their visioneering from pejorative labels like "fringe" and "pseudoscience". The Visioneers provides a balanced look at the successes and pitfalls they encountered. The book exposes the dangers of promotion - oversimplification, misuse, and misunderstanding - that can plague exploratory science. But above all, it highlights the importance of radical new ideas that inspire us to support cutting-edge research into tomorrow's technologies. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: A. T. Chandler.

  The Pot Thief Who Studied Georgia O'Keeffe: The Pot Thief Mysteries, Book 7 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 460min

  This Southwest-set tale about a hunt for a precious relic offers a “nice mix of comedy and mystery” (Booklist) from an award-winning author.  A dealer in traditional Native American pottery, Hubie Schuze scours New Mexico in search of ancient treasures. The Bureau of Land Management calls him a criminal, but Hubie knows that the real injustice would be to leave the legacies of prehistoric craftspeople buried in the dirt.   In all his travels across the state, there is one place that Hubie hasn’t been able to access: Trinity Site at the White Sands Missile Range, where the first atomic bomb was detonated. Deep within the range are ruins once occupied by the Tompiro people, whose distinctive pottery is incredibly rare and valuable. When an old associate claims to have a buyer interested in spending big money on a Tompiro pot, Hubie resolves to finally find a way into the heavily guarded military installation.   But Hubie has more on his mind than just outwitting the army’s most sophisticated security measures. He’s in love with a beautiful woman who has a few secrets of her own - and his best friend, Susannah, may have just unearthed a lost Georgia O’Keeffe painting. It’s a lot for a mild-mannered pot thief to handle, and when his associate is murdered and Tompiro pots start replicating like Russian nesting dolls, Hubie suddenly realizes he’s caught up in the most complex and dangerous mystery he’s ever faced.   The Pot Thief Who Studied Georgia O’Keeffe is the seventh book in the Pot Thief Mysteries, but you may enjoy listening to the series in any order. ungekürzt.

  The Riddle: Where Ideas Come from and How to Have Better Ones, Hörbuch, Digital, 454min

  Artists, scientists, and entrepreneurs thrive on their ability to be creative. New wealth flows to those who successfully introduce new ideas.While organizations claim to value creativity, they are often at a loss when attempting to conjure up novel ideas, particularly in a world where technology has made information readily available to everyone. As a result, leaders ask, "Where will the next big idea come from?" In response, they allocate significant resources for innovation; however the source of creative inspiration has remained a mystery.Science has shown that it's possible to create conditions under which the mind is more prepared to have insights, or "aha! moments". In this fascinating book, Andrew Razeghi examines the precursors to creative insight and offers clear-cut methods for making "Eureka moments" routine practice rather than lucky accidents. Combining the latest scientific research, interviews with current innovators, and studies of history's most creative minds, he dissects the creative process and presents a practical approach for inspiring innovation.The Riddle illustrates how replicating these precursors - curiosity, constraints, connections, conventions, and codes - can increase your odds of success at innovation. For example, the author reveals how to inspire creativity through controllable and reproducible thoughts and behaviors, such as altering your mood, changing the context in which you solve problems, creating metaphors, and even simply writing things down. He also explores the role of sleep, memory, and ethnicity as they pertain to creative insight.The Riddle takes the mystery out of the creative process and plants it squarely in the realm of the scientific. Using the techniques outlined in this audiobook, innovators can draw on the "Eureka moment" again and again. Language: English. Narrator: Jim Bond.
