Beschreibung

Cindi Broaddus didn't realize that her life was about to be forever altered as she sat in the passenger seat of a car on a lonely highway, speeding toward the airport in the early morning hours of June 5, 2001. A single mother of three and a delighted new grandmother, she was thinking only of her well-earned vacation when a gallon jar of sulfuric acid, tossed from an overpass by an unknown assailant, came crashing through the windshield. In a heartbeat, Cindi was showered with glass and flesh-eating liquid, leaving her screaming in agony and burned almost beyond recognition.A Random Act is the riveting firsthand account of a brutal and senseless attack and its aftermath. Much more than one remarkable woman's chronicle of an unthinkable tragedy and amazing recovery, Cindi's story is one of hope and transcendence, born of a conscious and dedicated determination to turn a nightmarish experience into something positive and uplifting. Her unforgettable journey back to life and a gloriously renewed sense of purpose offers illuminating truths about love, healing, and the astounding power of choice.

    You can become a millionaire or even a billionaire by simply understanding and applying the ‘the power of compounding’ principle. It requires no special skill. Virtually anyone can do it. No wonder Einstein called it the ‘Eighth Wonder’.In this audiobook, best-selling authors Praveen & Prashant Kumar explain the true power behind compounding, which most people fail to understand and become rich.If it is so simple then why are there so few millionaires in this world? This is because most of us learnt about compound interest at school. We also did a few sums but no one ever explained to us either its power or application. Our teachers and parents would be millionaires if they understood or had any comprehension of its awesome power.This audiobook will answer the following vital aspects of compounding that no one explained to you:What is tunnelling effect?What is critical mass in compounding?How a dollar a day can turn you into a millionaire?How you can go broke with the reverse power of compounding?How to find dollars to invest?How to leverage for higher returns?How inflation effects compounding?How to harness the power of compounding?This audiobook will teach and empower you to use ‘the power of compounding’ and grow exceedingly rich within your lifetime.Once you listen to this audiobook being a millionaire will not be just a dream but a reality.

    A journalist explores how our world’s borders came to be and how self-proclaimed countries across the globe could change the map.   What is a country? While certain basic criteria—borders, a government, and recognition from other countries—seem obvious, journalist Joshua Keating investigates what happens in areas of the world that exist as exceptions to these rules. Invisible Countries looks at semiautonomous countries such as Abkhazia, Kurdistan, and Somaliland, as well as a Mohawk reservation straddling the U.S.-Canada border, and an island nation whose very existence is threatened by climate change.   Through stories about these would-be countries’ efforts at self-determination, Keating shows that there is no universal legal authority determining what a country is. He also argues that economic, cultural, and environmental forces could soon bring an end to our long period of cartographical stasis. Keating combines history with incisive observations drawn from his travels and interviews with residents, political leaders, and scholars in each of these “invisible countries.”

    By many expert mathematicians, group theory is often addressed as a central part of mathematics. It finds its origins in geometry, since geometry describes groups in a detailed manner. The theory of polynomial equations also describes the procedure and principals of associating a finite group with any polynomial equation. This association is done in such a way that makes the group to encode information that can be used to solve the equations. This equation theory was developed by Galois. Finite group theory faced a number of changes in near past times as a result of classification of finite simple groups. The most important theorem when practicing group theory is theorem by Jordan holder. This theorem shows how any finite group is a combination of multiple finite simple groups. 
    Group theory is a term that is mainly used fields related to mathematics such as algebraic calculations. In abstract algebra, groups are referred as algebraic structures. Other terms of algebraic theories, such as rings, fields and vector spaces are also seen as group. Of course with some additional operations and axioms, mathematicians accept them as a group. The methods and procedures of group theory effect many parts and concepts of mathematics as well as algebra on a large scale. Linear algebraic groups and lie groups are two main branches or say categories of group theory that have advanced enough to be considered as a subject in their own perspectives. 
    Not only mathematics, group theory also finds its roots in various physical systems, especially in crystals and hydrogen atom. They might be modeled by symmetry groups. Thus it can be said that group theory possess close relations with representation theory. Principals and ideas of group theory are practically applied in the fields of physic, material science and chemistry of course. Group theory is also considered as a central key in the studies and practices of cryptography. In 2000s, more than 10000 pages were published in the time span of 1960 to 1980. These publications were a collaborative effort in order to culminating the result as a complete classification of infinite simple groups. For the practitioners and learners of mathematics or even physics the theory of groups has a great importance. Not all aspects of this theory are used in mathematics or physics. But there are some ideas and principals that help a lot as you advance to higher level mathematics, it is very same with the physics. Full application of this wide theory is not possible on a single subject anyhow. However it is partially applied in both cases, and still leaves a great influence.
