Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The best way to have it all--both a full family life and a career--is to halve it all. That's the message of Francine Deutsch's refreshing and humane book, based on extensive interviews with a wide range of couples. Deutsch casts a skeptical eye on the grim story of inequality that has been told since women found themselves working a second shift at home. She brings good news: equality based on shared parenting is possible, and it is emerging all around us. Some white-collar fathers achieve as well as talk about equality, and some blue-collar parents work alternate shifts to ensure that one parent can always be with the children. Using vivid quotations from her interviews, Deutsch tells the story of couples who share parenting equally, and some who don't. The differences between the groups are not in politics, education, or class, but in the way they negotiate the large and small issues--from whose paid job is "important" to who applies the sunscreen. With the majority of mothers in the workforce, parents today have to find ways of sharing the work at home. Rigid ideas of "good mothers" and "good fathers," Deutsch argues, can be transformed into a more flexible reality: the good parent. Halving It All takes the discussion beyond shrill ideological arguments about working mothers and absent fathers. Deutsch shows how, with the best of intentions, people perpetuate inequalities and injustices on the home front, but also, and more important, how they can devise more equal arrangements, out of explicit principles, or simply out of fairness and love.

Download or read book Locating Lines and Hyperplanes written by Anita Schöbel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Line and hyperplane location problems play an important role not only in operations research and location theory, but also in computational geometry and robust statistics. This book provides a survey on line and hyperplane location combining analytical and geometrical methods. The major portion of the text presents new results on this topic, including the extension of some special cases to all distances derived from norms and a discussion of restricted problems in the plane. Almost all results are proven in the text and most of them are illustrated by examples. Furthermore, relations to classical facility location and to problems in computational geometry are pointed out. Audience: The book is suitable for researchers, lecturers, and graduate students working in the fields of location theory or computational geometry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Time the price cycles of bitcoin and become rich Bitcoin has been the best performing asset class of all time—better than gold, silver, real estate, and the stock market. Its value has risen from one tenth of a cent in 2009 to a new high of over $70,000. But misconceptions about its reliability have prevented most people from creating life-changing wealth. Michael Terpin, the founder of BitAngels whom CNBC calls “the Godfather of Crypto," is changing that. The Bitcoin Supercycle explains his “Four Seasons of Bitcoin” model, which shows how the price of bitcoin moves in reliable cycles similar to those of real estate and stock markets—and gives you the numbers, evidence, charts, and strategies to take advantage. As the Bitcoin Spring starts in April 2024 and the fourth halving reduces the supply of bitcoin, and crypto ETFs hit the market, the coming seasons have the potential to create a new class of millionaires and billionaires that rivals the wealth creation of the internet bubble. Learn how to become one with The Bitcoin Supercycle.
