Summary

Traditionally, stability in Asia has relied on America's bilateral alliances with Japan, Australia, and the Republic of Korea. Yet in recent years, emergent and more active multilateral forums—such as the Six-Party Talks on North Korea and the East Asia Summit—have taken precedence, engendering both cooperation and competition while reflecting the local concerns of the region.Some are concerned that this process is moving toward less-inclusive, bloc-based "talking shops" and that the future direction and success of these arrangements, along with their implications for global and regional security and prosperity, remain unclear. The fifteen contributors to this volume, all leading scholars in the field, provide national perspectives on regional institutional architecture and their functional challenges. They illuminate areas of cooperation that will move the region toward substantive collaboration, convergence of norms, and strengthened domestic institutions. They also highlight the degree to which institution building in Asia—a region composed of liberal democracies, authoritarian regimes, and anachronistic dictatorships—has become an arena for competition among major powers and conflicting norms, and assess the future shape of Asian security architecture.

    If you think that 2019 has been a great year for social media marketing, wait until you see what will unfold in 2020. With more and more people subscribing to Facebook, Instagram, and other social media sites, it is clear that the internet offers a true goldmine for those that are willing to put in the work and learn the most effective strategies to monetize an audience.  
    Nowadays, we are more connected than ever, yet so few people take advantage of the incredible opportunity that social networks are providing. It will not take a long time before big companies and institutions decide to seriously focus on internet marketing, and at that point, it will be almost impossible for the average Joe to get a seat on this profitable table. Advertising costs are going to skyrocket, and building a following of loyal customers will not be an option for small entrepreneurs anymore. 
    But you are lucky because if you are reading this, it means that you are still on time to jump on the wagon before the train takes off. If I were you, I will stop wasting time debating whether social media marketing is worth focusing on and put all my energy and focus in studying and applying new strategies. 
    The beauty of social media marketing is that it has incredibly low costs and almost an infinite potential if you apply the right knowledge.

    As a boy, Fee Stubblefield promised his fiercely independent grandmother that he would never “put her in an old folks’ home.” That aspirational promise, made with love and care, would be something he always remembered—and a commitment he eventually made within the senior housing and care industry.Seeking to create vibrant and engaging communities where we can thrive in our older years, Fee has encapsulated the best insights from his years in the industry in this book. He addresses everything from how to pick the right capital partners, hiring the best people for a culture of caring, introduces the concept of aspirational promises, addresses the deep issues in the industry exposed by Covid-19 and our attitudes toward a rapidly aging population.Fee’s passion was born of an unusual upbringing as part of a family that owned and operated Lehman Hot Springs and its sacred healing waters, a metaphor for the care needed by our senior citizens. He learned business lessons, like most entrepreneurs, through the difficulties and victories of the Springs Living communities. However, regardless of the lessons—the central core of the Culture of Promise is transparency, accountability, care, respect, and a commitment to the people at the heart of that promise.

    If you want to get out of credit card debt fast, then get this book! 
    Credit card debt is a form of unsecured debt taken from a financial tool usually credit cards. These credit card debts are generated when credit card holder purchases products from these cards and accumulates due to the interest charged on it. Difficulty arises because people are not able to repay their loans effectively or in time. When a card holder is unable to pay his debts he is declared as "defaulter". 
    In this book, “Living with Credit Card Debts”, we are looking at how we can overcome the obstacle we often face when it comes to managing our credit cards. The basic ideas discussed in the book are as follows: 
    • Plan your financial life. Financial problems are something most of us will have to manage eventually in life. In order to cope with the pressure that may arise, we need to have a proper financial plan and even financial goals. 
    • Credit card ratings and debts. We need to know what we should do and not be overburdened by debts. 
    • Study of financial management. We should make money work for us and not the other way round. We should have control of our money and not money have controls over us. 
    • Avoid bad debt. This may be as a result of poor privatization that may make us go for what we do not necessarily need. 
    HowExpert publishes quick 'how to' guides on all topics from A to Z by everyday experts.
