Gana Dinero Mientras Duermes
by Samuel J. ColeLos ingresos pasivos son un tipo de ganancias que requieren un esfuerzo mínimo para mantenerse una vez que se han establecido. A diferencia de los ingresos activos, que se obtienen a través del trabajo directo, como el salario de un trabajo o los honorarios por los servicios prestados, los ingresos pasivos permiten a las personas ganar dinero con poca participación continua. Esto puede provenir de varias fuentes, incluidas inversiones, propiedades de alquiler, regalías y negocios en línea. La característica clave de los ingresos pasivos es que continúan generando ingresos a lo largo del tiempo, incluso cuando el individuo no está trabajando activamente. Por ejemplo, una persona que invierte en acciones que pagan dividendos recibe pagos regulares sin necesidad de vender sus acciones o participar en la gestión diaria. Del mismo modo, un arrendador obtiene ingresos por alquiler de los inquilinos, lo que requiere solo mantenimiento y supervisión ocasionales.
Wie lange warten bis zum ersten Sex
by Monique SorgenNachdem Samantha noch am Abend ihres Kennenlernens mit dem perfekten Mann geschlafen hat, fragt sie sich, ob es wohl zu früh war, denn er meldet sich nicht mehr. Als sie sich wünscht, sie hätte es nicht getan, geht ihr Wunsch in Erfüllung und plötzlich „grüßt das Murmeltier“. Samantha Harper wird 30, und sie ist bereit, den Mann ihrer Träume zu finden. Und sie findet ihn auch. Samantha ist ja auch bekannt dafür, alles zu erreichen, was sie sich in den Kopf gesetzt hat. Es gibt nur ein Problem, denn nach dem Sex mit ihrem Traummann in der ersten Nacht ruft er sie nicht mehr an. Niederlagen nicht gewohnt, hasst Samantha sich selbst dafür. Sie wünscht sich, sie könnte die Zeit zurückdrehen. Sie wünscht sich, nie mit ihm geschlafen zu haben ... Und zu ihrem Erstaunen geht der Wunsch in Erfüllung. Samantha wird zurückkatapultiert zu dem Tag ihres Kennenlernens und bekommt so eine zweite Chance, länger zu warten, ehe sie mit ihrem Mr. Perfect in der Kiste landet. Diesmal ist sie entschlossen, ihn erst besser kennenzulernen. Diesmal soll er Gelegenheit haben, zu sehen, wie toll sie ist. Diesmal wird sie es nicht vermasseln, indem sie zu früh aufs Ganze geht. Leider erweist die Warterei sich als gar nicht so leicht, und so schläft sie bald wieder mit ihm. Glücklicherweise stellt sich heraus, dass sie sich jederzeit immer wieder zurückwünschen kann. Mit dieser merkwürdigen neuen Superkraft kann sie tatsächlich jeden Fehltritt wieder geradebiegen. Vor allem kann sie aber den Mann dazu bewegen, sich in sie zu verlieben! Aber will sie wirklich einen Mann, der nur durch diese Manipulation erkennt, was er an ihr hat? Feststeht nur, Samantha wird einer uralten Frage auf den Grund gehen: Wie lange sollte man eigentlich warten bis zum ersten Sex?

Coaching Values and Life Skills through Physical Education and Sports: A Practical Toolkit
by Koon Teck Koh Tarkington J Newman Muhammad Shufi Bin SallehThis impactful resource guide is for international educators and practitioners involved in Physical Education and Sport (PES) who want to learn evidence-based approaches to the teaching of values and character education. Through a systematic approach to teaching and evaluating values and character education, this book bridges the gap between theory and practice. It offers empirical evidence and strategies to show how values and character can be internalized, through carefully designed experiences, active participation, and regular reinforcement, without compromising the time needed to learn sports skills - a common concern raised by PE teachers and sports coaches. Results from case studies have also revealed that values can be transferred beyond the context of physical education lessons and sports through a collaborative approach and effective communication between teachers, coaches, and parents. Key strategies based on empirical evidence are highlighted in this book. It also highlights an Asian perspective on values and life skills training through Physical Education and provides readers with step-by-step implementation guidelines to simplify some complex strategies in developing values and life skills through PES seamlessly.The book provides useful information to anyone engaged in developing young people in, and through, sport. In particular it will be of great value to pre-service and in-service teachers and coaches for implementing effective strategies to balance teaching sports skills, values, and life skills effectively in PES.
Buildings That Breathe: Greening the World's Cities
by Nancy F. CastaldoImagine looking out from your 18th floor apartment in the middle of the city and seeing trees right in front of you. In an effort to stem climate change, reduce pollution, combat heat, and protect biodiversity, architects are teaming up with botanists, urban wildlife ecologists, and other scientists to design high-rise forests, living walls, and vertical farms in some of the world’s most populated places. These projects are happening all around the world, and they will not only change the urban landscape, but they will provide urban dwellers with a healthier place to live and work. For Buildings That Breathe, author and environmental journalist Nancy Castaldo connected with architect Stefano Boeri at the World Forum on Urban Forests and was invited to his office in Milan where she visited Bosco Verticale, the first high-rise forest. Planted with 750 trees, 5,000 shrubs, and 11 perennials on two apartment towers, the project provides an urban habitat for birds, insects, and people while creating a micro-climate that produces oxygen and provides shade for high-rise residents. Explore Bosco Verticale, as well the planned Liuzhou Forest City in China and other green architecture projects around the world, looking at how people are working together to change the urban landscape of the future.

Mein Tod. Fiktionales und faktuales Erzählen des eigenen Todes (Kontemporär. Schriften zur deutschsprachigen Gegenwartsliteratur #21)
by Andrea KlattDies ist ein Buch im Open Access. - Der eigene Tod ist nicht zu bewältigen. Die Textsorte ‚Erzählung‘ ermöglicht aufgrund ihrer Eigenschaften jedoch die Bewältigung von Erfahrungen, die dem Tod ähneln sollen. Fiktionalem und faktualem Erzählen kommen dabei qua literarischer Konvention unterschiedliche Möglichkeiten zu. Anhand zahlreicher Beispiele von Sterbeerzählungen von 1950 bis heute legt Andrea Klatt eine Systematik der Formen und Funktionen des Erzählens in Todesnähe vor. Außerdem werden drei Erzähltexte der deutschsprachigen Gegenwartsliteratur in ausführlichen Fallstudien interpretiert und die unterschiedlichen Bewältigungsmechanismen darin verglichen: „Arbeit und Struktur“ von Wolfgang Herrndorf, „Tage wie Hunde“ von Ruth Schweikert und „Robinsons blaues Haus“ von Ernst Augustin.
Recent Advances in Modeling, Analysis and Systems Control: Theoretical Aspects and Applications (Studies in Systems, Decision and Control #243)
by Oscar Castillo Said Melliani El Hassan ZerrikThis book describes recent developments in a wide range of areas, including the modeling, analysis and control of dynamical systems, and explores related applications. The book provided a forum where researchers have shared their ideas, results on theory, and experiments in application problems. The current literature devoted to dynamical systems is quite large, and the authors’ choice for the considered topics was motivated by the following considerations. Firstly, the mathematical jargon for systems theory remains quite complex and the authors feel strongly that they have to maintain connections between the people of this research field. Secondly, dynamical systems cover a wider range of applications, including engineering, life sciences and environment. The authors consider that the book is an important contribution to the state of the art in the fuzzy and dynamical systems areas.
