Sinossi

The water resources of the Selenga River/Lake Baikal system are of fundamental importance for the ecosystems and socio-economic development of the region. In this large-scale river and lake basin, there are strong contrasts between regions of relatively pristine nature and massive anthropogenic impacts on the environment. Climate change effects are more pronounced than in most other parts of the earth, and the transition from socialism into a more market-oriented economy has led to a boom in mining but also to a partial collapse of environmental monitoring and urban waste water management systems. Moreover, the expansion of agriculture and mining has triggered a considerable land cover change, rising water consumption, and the release of contaminants that had previously been unknown to the region. The consequences for the water resources and the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems depending on them have become increasingly visible in recent years.  

This book, which is based on contributions to the 2014 "Bringing Together Selenga-Baikal Research Conference", provides a multidisciplinary insight into current water-related challenges and strategies for their solution from the viewpoint of the international scientific community.

    The proven, all-weather investing strategy that delivers long-term, consistent returns
    
     
    The most common investing approach today-one that values “growth” over all else-can be ineffective and counterproductive for many investors, not to mention needlessly stressful.
    
     
    Now, one of Seeking Alpha’s most popular writers, Steven Bavaria, provides a groundbreaking alternative that will see you through all markets-up, down, and sideways. The Income Factory shows how to build an income stream that increases solidly and consistently-a result of re-investing and compounding the dividends. And the best part? This income stream actually grows faster during market downturns than during flat or rising market periods.
    
     
    The Income Factory sheds light on: 
    
    * Why “high-yield” doesn’t have to mean “high-risk” 
    
    * How credit investments perform more predictably than equity investments 
    
    * Why “junk” is a misnomer-and why high-yield debt is safer than most of the stocks investors own 
    
    * How to grow your wealth steadily without following the markets obsessively 
    
     
    
    Through Bavaria’s strategy, cash income increases year after year at a predictable rate. For example, a 9% yielding portfolio doubles and re-doubles every 8 years. If you’re in for the long haul, an Income Factory lets you achieve your goals and still sleep well at night.
    
     
    Investing does not have to be about picking specific horses and hoping they win the race. An Income Factory achieves its goals by essentially betting on horses to make it around the track and finish the race.
    
     
    Those are easier bets to win, and they don’t require us to be glued to the financial news 24/7.

    Jason Khalipa's actions and accomplishments speak for themselves: devoted father, world champion, global businessman. After years of rigorous training, Jason earned the title of Fittest Man on Earth and finished first in the 2008 CrossFit Games. Hard work and insatiable drive paid off, and his company, NCFIT, grew to success. Jason thought he had overcome insurmountable obstacles throughout his career, but nothing prepared him for the moment when his daughter, Ava, was diagnosed with leukemia. Tasked with facing what no parent should have to confront, he had two choices: succumb to overwhelming anger, or jump headfirst into the fight. He chose the latter. 
    In his first book, As Many Reps As Possible (AMRAP), Jason reveals the invaluable principles that helped him and his wife dedicate every minute of their lives to Ava's battle. The backbone of Jason's success is a simple and accessible process that, with dedication, will help you take control of life, harness your true potential, and triumph in every way. Borrowing from the fitness idea of completing as many reps as possible of an exercise in a given time period, Jason developed The AMRAP Mentality, a proven system that will help you discover your why, focus on what you can control, work hard, and ultimately blow past your goals. With clear insight, personal anecdotes, and directed reader exercises, this book will help you get where you're going, wherever that may be. Be prepared to dream big, dig in your heels, roll up your sleeves, and get to work. 
    The AMRAP Mentality is here. Life is waiting for you.

    The instinct of workmanship

    "The Instinct of Workmanship" is a book written by Thorstein Veblen, an American economist and social theorist. The book was published in 1914 and explores the relationship between humans and their work. 
    Veblen argues that the instinct of workmanship is a fundamental human trait that drives individuals to create and produce. This instinct is rooted in our desire to improve our own lives and the lives of those around us. However, Veblen also contends that this instinct is often hindered by the influence of social and economic institutions, such as the profit motive, the division of labor, and the competitive nature of capitalist markets. 
    Veblen explores the implications of these hindrances for individual well-being, social progress, and economic development. He argues that the current economic system is inefficient and wasteful, and that it fails to promote the full expression of the instinct of workmanship. He proposes alternative economic and social structures that could better facilitate the development and expression of this instinct, such as a society based on collective ownership and control of production. 
    Overall, "The Instinct of Workmanship" is an important contribution to the fields of economics and sociology, and it remains relevant to contemporary debates about the nature and purpose of work, the role of institutions in shaping human behavior, and the possibilities for creating a more just and equitable society.

    Article Marketing Secrets Exposed

    Of all the ways to make money online, in my opinion, article marketing is the easiest and best way for anybody to make their first dollar. The best part is that without spending any more than the cost of a domain name, you can create a passive income that can bring you money from an article that you wrote years ago. So ask yourself: "Is spending a few minutes writing a 250-word article worth the time if it brings you money still years later?" I thought yes would be the answer.
    
    I'm sure you've heard a ton of different opinions on how you should do article marketing and how you should provide the best information possible, write informative articles and give your reader value and so on. Well, what you're about to read is probably going to go against a lot of what you have read, and the article "gurus" are not going to like it.....but doing it this way has made me A LOT of money so I don't care if they agree with me or not! I'm going to do it the way it makes money and a way that continues to bring me money day in and day out.
    
    If you are willing to put in the time to follow this method, you WILL make money and a good amount of it. What you need to remember is that there is no super highway to making money on the Internet. You MUST stay consistent and motivated even when you get frustrated and feel like things are not going your way. It is those who continue to work and promote their business that will in the end be successful.
    
    So, no more pep talks. Let's get right into it.
