The Warren Buffett Paradox and Its Solution

Taxation isn’t just a technical matter; it’s primarily a political and philosophical question. Justice in taxation leads to social justice.

The tax avoidance of the wealthy was notably highlighted by billionaire Warren Buffett in 2007, and his insights continue to influence discussions on solutions. However, previous proposals have faced legal conflicts.

Now, a realistic proposal is available! The author convincingly demonstrates that all conditions are in place to address this tax inequity effectively. He outlines a detailed plan for implementation, with a clear and engaging writing style that will captivate readers of all levels. This work should be essential reading for the IRS!

The Role of Language in Teaching Children Math

It can be difficult to recognize that in spite of the precision and power of mathematics, both the verbal and symbolic language it uses have the same qualities of ambiguity as every other human language. In The Role of Language in Teaching Children Math, Dr. Kastner reveals strategies to overcome the fact that traditional and current mathematics curricula, beginning in the early grades, fail to provide students with the conceptual understanding required to advance to levels where the delight of geometry and calculus become accessible. Kastner’s clear prose and organic organization assists teachers, parents, and students to untangle abstract meanings required for mastery in the field of mathematics.

"As teachers of mathematics, it is critical that we continually foster meaningful mathematical conversations with children in order for them to develop a deep understanding of the math. Bernice’s extraordinary, thought-provoking book is a primer on how the language we use to teach and talk about mathematics can either obscure or illuminate the profound beauty of mathematics. The Role of Language in Teaching Children Math should be read by any serious teacher of mathematics."

The Meshk Technique for Alzheimer’s Disease

This book is the output of a fundamental study that investigates human memory from a comprehensive perspective. The author’s interest in discovering the structure and function of complex systems and providing simple and inexpensive solutions to the challenges facing humans led him to focus his research on human memory. As a result, his research has created a new insight into the structure and function of memory in humans called Meshk theory.

The word Meshk in Kurdish means brain. Kurdish is the only living language in the world that has extensively preserved its ancient Sumerian roots over thousands of years. The book breaks down the complicated scientific and biological concepts associated with human memory into a more understandable way. It also describes in detail the theory of Meshk and the technique developed based on its concepts for the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease. The structure discovered for human memory in the theory called Human Memory Strand (HMS), as a super-DNA structure with extraordinary regenerative ability, is a turning point in the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative diseases, especially Alzheimer’s.

In this way, based on HMS, a simple, cost-free, and practical method called Meshk technique has been developed to restore memory information. The technique can be used effectively for all people to prevent Alzheimer’s disease as well as to retrieve memory for people at any stage of the disease. The Meshk theory has been nominated for several international awards, including the Think Tank Awards 2021 and the AAIC 2022 Blas Frangione Early Career Achievement Award.

The Homicide Manifesto

The Homicide Manifesto is a testament of Cpt. Jose 'Pepi' Granado's (Ret.) many years of service within the law enforcement community, especially his insights as an investigator and supervisor of various Homicide Units. It's meant to be used as a guide for new investigators, supervisors, students majoring in Criminal Justice, Law, or a University's curriculum. Additionally, this book is a source of information that can augment any in-service training provided by law enforcement agencies nationally or globally. Individual investigators who desire to investigate violent crimes, attorneys, or citizens can use this book to garner better perspectives of how investigations should be conducted. As a Criminal Investigations Division Captain, Cpt. Granado realized the lack of training investigators and supervisors receive. Therefore, this book is his way of providing knowledge to future generations of investigators, supervisors, and students in order for them to understand the importance of thoroughness and preparedness.

The Enemies of Excellence

Excellence is the ultimate human power and the source of our greatest inventions, most successful businesses, deepest insights, furthest explorations, best performances, and most profound art.

Yet some people and companies fear, hate, or are otherwise opposed to excellence. Why?

In this book George Adams answers the question based on his many years of experience as a CPA, MBA, small business owner, and survivor of countless difficult life experiences.

The Coming Singularity

As we approach 2050, it is projected that human consciousness will encounter a superior intelligence for the very first time: artificial machine intelligence. It is important for us to understand the evolutionary impact of this event, but also that we are being altered from the inside out for the singularity to arise.

Are we ready?

Will we be adaptive?

How will we change?

The Coming Singularity explores the psychological impact of the changes coming our way and the many adaptations we will have to make.

We are transitioning to a world of one degree of separation, with only the illusion of privacy, autonomy and anonymity. All of us are undergoing a transition to an electronic identity, one that can reach back and change the real you. The question going forward will be, who is the real you?

A cluster of psychological symptoms are evolving from our technology interface––Identity Diffusion. Its key feature is the de-realization of life.

Direct brain-to-technology interfaces will soon render our brains an open-source forum. We need to discuss who is in there and why!

The impact of e-technology on human identity will be profound, but it is also a prerequisite for machine intelligence to arise. We need to discuss this.

We humans reside in complex, dynamical networks. The goal of artificial intelligence will be to evolve and stabilize these networks. And we may not be the priority.

The Amazing Wildlife in the Prince Albert National Park

They say that patience is a virtue. How true that is, especially when it comes to watching and enjoying the amazing wildlife that one can see at the Prince Albert National Park in Saskatchewan. I certainly enjoyed many magical experiences as I watched how amazing the wildlife was. From otters to minks and from beavers to black bears, not to mention groundhogs and wolf pups.

There are amazing birds that one can see, from American white pelicans to belted kingfishers to the amazing fishing ability of the great blue heron, even ospreys, bald eagles, and merlins. It was amazing how much wildlife I was able to see by just being at the Waskesiu River. Even though I had to spend from one to almost three hours every day, it was certainly worth my time to be able to enjoy animals in their natural surroundings and to see the amazing abilities that they possess.

Sigfluence

Sigfluence is a word invented by Dr. John F. Loase. It means significant, long term, positive influence. After 20 plus years of research, Loase had a big breakthrough. He found that sigfluence was the best predictor of a satisfying life. Sigfluence is to the human spirit, what exercise is to the human body.

This book features sigfluence role models like Mother Teresa, Victor Frankl, and Jimmy Carter as well as practical advice to enhance your sigfluence legacy.

Roads to COVID-19 Containment and Spread

Eight democratic countries traversed the road to remarkable containment of COVID-19 in 2020-2021, five without economically damaging shutdowns. During the first two years of the pandemic, the United States and the United Kingdom each had COVID-19 death rates per population 6 times higher than any one of these eight countries and more than 135 times the best. Why?  This book reveals successes and mistakes in science, governmental policies, and politics that vastly altered the incidence and severity of COVID-19 in different parts of the world. The author explains his research in a near conversational, human-focused approach understandable to nonscientists. The topics range from the nature of coronaviruses to the economic consequences of the pandemic. The movement toward a “new normal” of living with the virus is dangerous, he writes. Without recognition of governmental policy failures and implementation of new science-based policies, periodic surges in infections will continue and more lethal mutations cannot be ruled out.
