Dominando el bitcoin: Una guía para principiantes para comenzar a ganar dinero con el Bitcoin
by Adidas WilsonEl Bitcoin puede parecer complicado si está tratando de entender el concepto detrás de toda la idea de las transacciones de divisas en línea. Sin embargo, las cosas pueden parecer difíciles solo si no sabes qué buscar y qué se necesita para las transacciones de bitcoin que pueden no aparecer en la mayoría de las otras transacciones convencionales. Si tiene problemas tratando de entender todos los concepto, no se preocupe, aquí explicamos algunos de los conceptos básicos. A pesar de que la idea del bitcoin se basa en transacciones en línea, puede verse desde una perspectiva de transacciones físicas para comprenderlo mejor. Mírelo de esta manera: Usted está compartiendo algo con alguien que bien podría ser dinero, fruta, libros o lo que quieras. En el momento de la transacción están los dos solos. No es necesario involucrar a otra persona para que sea testigo, ni preocuparse sobre la verificación de la transferencia de propiedad. El estado de la propiedad cambia permanentemente de una persona a otra y el segundo propietario puede transferir la propiedad a un tercer propietario. Pues el bitcoin opera de manera similar.

Dominando o Crédito: O Guia Definitivo para Você Reparar seu Crédito
by Adidas WilsonA sociedade depende fortemente de crédito para a maioria das decisões financeiras. Hoje, um bom crédito não é importante apenas para obter um empréstimo ou cartão de crédito. Muitas empresas precisam verificar seu crédito antes de decidir se estenderão ou não seus produtos e serviços a você. Os credores hipotecários precisam ter certeza de que você pagará sua hipoteca com responsabilidade antes que eles possam financiar você. Sem um bom crédito, o credor hipotecário conclui que conceder um empréstimo é arriscado para eles. Se eles ainda aprovarem, independentemente do seu crédito insuficiente, cobrarão uma taxa de juros muito alta. O crédito incorreto fará com que você pague um valor mais alto ou pior, a aplicação será recusada. Só porque você não está interessado em comprar uma casa no momento não significa que seu crédito não importa. Os proprietários, na maioria dos casos, consultam seu crédito antes de alugar uma casa ou apartamento. Seu contrato de arrendamento é considerado um empréstimo. Você precisa de um empréstimo para comprar um carro, a menos que tenha o valor total em mãos. Sua pontuação de crédito afeta o valor do empréstimo e a taxa de juros e se você receberá ou não o empréstimo em primeiro lugar. Com crédito excelente, você se qualificará para um montante mais alto de empréstimo e a taxa de juros será menor. Uma pontuação de crédito ruim se traduz em opções limitadas. Poucos credores estarão prontos para financiar você e os poucos que desejarem poderão cobrar uma taxa de juros muito alta.
Dominando o Hábito
by Adidas WilsonVocê sempre vai ouvir pessoas dando desculpas, dizendo que não nasceram com o talento necessário para chegar ao sucesso. E é verdade que há pessoas naturalmente beneficiadas de algumas formas. No entanto, alcançar o sucesso resume-se a compromisso e dedicação à aquisição e ao aperfeiçoamento de habilidades. De fato, o talento nada mais é do que o ponto inicial. Ninguém está negando que existe o talento natural, como uma vantagem genética, especialmente no que concerne à habilidade física. Apesar disso, o sucesso não é sempre uma aventura física para a maior parte das pessoas. Elas só querem fazer algo e serem boas nisso. Desejam merecer um salário decente enquanto fazem algo gratificante – tudo por uma vida confortável. Toda pessoa bem-sucedida que você vê teve que trabalhar duro para chegar lá; do velocista olímpico ao músico mundialmente renomado. Você deseja ser bem-sucedido? Bem, pare de se limitar. “Para ser uma estrela, você precisa brilhar com sua própria luz, caminhar por seu próprio caminho e não se preocupar com a escuridão, porque é nela que as estrelas projetam mais o seu brilho”. - Napoleon Hill

Dominar Ethereum y Blockchain: una guía para principiantes para empezar a ganar dinero
by Adidas WilsonSegún algunos, la idea de Ethereum nació en 2009, cuando Bitcoin se convirtió en la primera solución práctica de descentralización. Sin lugar a dudas, el éxito de Blockchain influyó mucho en Vitalik Buterin, el hombre detrás de Ethereum. Sin embargo, 2012 sería una fecha más particular. Fue entonces cuando Vitalik dejó la Universidad de Waterloo para viajar por el mundo mientras participaba en diversas innovaciones de criptomonedas. Mientras estuvo en este viaje, Buterin concibió la idea de Ethereum; una plataforma crypto económicamente segura para crear cualquier tipo de aplicación descentralizada. Después de eso, Vitalik comenzó a redactar el Libro Blanco de Ethereum. El documento justifica la idea de una nueva tecnología criptográfica, establece sus principales principios y posibles aplicaciones. El libro blanco se publicó en 2013, y un mes después, Buterin anunció el comienzo del proyecto Ethereum durante el foro de Bitcointalk. En su publicación, Vitalik dijo que estaba trabajando con Jeffrey Wilcke y el Dr. Gavin Wood como principales desarrolladores centrales. Wood tomó la parte principal en la creación de Ethereum después de Vitalik. Su Yellow Paper (la especificación formal de Ethereum Virtual Machine) se publicó en abril de 2014. Al codificar su primera implementación práctica en siete lenguajes de programación, este fue el desarrollo del primer prototipo de la plataforma Ethereum. Al igual que Ethereum, Bitcoin se basa en la tecnología Blockchain, pero esto no significa nada si no cuenta con el respaldo de la red más poderosa de la historia. Los inversores canalizaron millones de dólares en Bitcoin, utilizando el dinero en comercio, equipos de minería y tecnologías. Lanzar una red como esa exige la misma cantidad (o más) de esfuerzo. Para poner en marcha un grupo de inversores, mineros y desarrolladores, la fundación Ethereum optó por llevar a cabo una preventa de más de 60 millones de tokens digitales (Ethe

Domine Los Drones, Guía Básica para Comenzar a Ganar Dinero con los Drones
by Adidas WilsonSe espera que los drones comerciales y sus servicios se conviertan en una industria multibillonaria en la próxima década, de acuerdo con un nuevo informe de la firma de inteligencia de mercados Tractica. El informe indica que en 2017 los ingresos generados por los drones deben llegar a aproximadamente US$792 millones, principalmente por ventas de equipos. Para 2025, Tractica predice que este mercado crecerá hasta alcanzar US$12.600 millones, donde las dos terceras partes de estos ingresos vendrán más de servicios prestados por drones que de ventas de equipos. “Hay varias industrias importantes que están viendo fuertes propuestas de valor en la utilización de drones para uso comercial” dice Manoj Sahi, analista de investigación de Tractica. El nombra a los medios, los bienes raíces y la asistencia a casos de desastres, como solo algunas de las industrias que podrían usar servicios prestados por drones. El informe dice que los avances en la tecnología, las economías de escala, las aplicaciones basadas en la nube y el deseo de trastornar el mercado contribuirán al éxito comercial de los drones en los próximos años.
Domine sus Hábitos: Cómo Piensan y Actúan las Personas Exitosas
by Adidas WilsonSiempre va a escuchar a las personas buscando excusas, quejándose y diciendo que no nacieron con el talento necesario para triunfar y tener éxito. Aunque es cierto que hay personas que por naturaleza tienen, en algunos aspectos, ventajas sobre los demás, lo cierto es que alcanzar el éxito en algo se reduce a comprometerse y tomarse el tiempo para adquirir y dominar las habilidades que sean necesarias. De hecho, aunque se tenga talento, este no es más que el punto de partida. Nadie niega que el talento natural exista. Hay ventajas genéticas, especialmente cuando se trata de la capacidad física de una persona. Sin embargo, para la mayoría, el éxito no siempre es el resultado de una competencia física. La mayoría solo quieren hacer algo y ser buenos en lo que están haciendo. Quieren ganar un salario decente mientras hacen algo que los llene –y todo esto para tener una vida cómoda. Toda persona exitosa que vea ha tenido que trabajar duro para llegar a donde ha llegado; desde el medallista olímpico hasta el músico de fama mundial ¿Desea tener éxito? Bueno, deje de ponerse límites. "Para ser una estrella, debe brillar con luz propia, seguir su propio camino y no preocuparse por la oscuridad. Es en la oscuridad donde las estrellas brillan con más intensidad". −Napoleón Hill

by International Monetary FundA report from the International Monetary Fund.
Dominican Republic - Culture Smart!
by Ilana Benady Ginnie BedggoodOccupying the eastern two-thirds of island of Hispaniola, the Dominican Republic has something for almost everyone - except perhaps obsessive perfectionists. If you can relax and go with the flow you will experience a land of great environmental diversity with a rich and varied culture, a turbulent history, some infuriating idiosyncrasies, and a people whose friendliness is legendary. The Dominicans are flamboyant, irrepressible, generous, headstrong, and resilient. Their culture is a distinctive mix of an easygoing Caribbean nature coupled with Latino verve and showmanship. For those who choose to break out of the confines of all-inclusive tourist resorts, Culture Smart! Dominican Republic offers a tantalizing insight into this warm, vital, and intriguing people. It takes you on a journey from the unspoiled coastline to the agricultural interior, to the imposing mountains and to the hamlets where time appears to have stood still. It then catapults you into the twenty-first century, through poverty and opulence, to the hustle and bustle of the large cities and the lifestyles of the luxury coastal tourist resorts. It offers practical advice on what to expect and to how to behave in a Dominican home, or in social and work settings. The authors of this book, both long-term residents in the Dominican Republic, have provided a unique roadmap to the interesting and challenging experiences that await you in this beautiful, varied, and complex country.
Dominion Motors & Controls Ltd.
by E. Raymond CoreyThe leading manufacturer of motors in Canada is threatened by a loss of market share in oilfield pumping motors because a major customer, having tested several competing motor brands, finds a competitor's motor to be superior. A central issue is whether to make a special purpose motor for this market, reduce the price on the current design, or contest the test results. A rewritten version of an earlier case, no longer available, by the same author.
Dominion of Capital
by Don NerbasIn the critical decades following the First World War, the Canadian political landscape was shifting in ways that significantly recast the relationship between big business and government. As public pressures changed the priorities of Canada's political parties, many of Canada's most powerful businessmen struggled to come to terms with a changing world that was less sympathetic to their ideas and interests than before. Dominion of Capital offers a new account of relations between government and business in Canada during a period of transition between the established expectations of the National Policy and the uncertain future of the twentieth century.Don Nerbas tells this fascinating story through close portraits of influential business and political figures of this period - including Howard P. Robinson, Charles Dunning, Sir Edward Beatty, R.S. McLaughlin, and C.D. Howe - that provide insight into how events in different sectors of the economy and regions of the country shaped the political outlook and strategies of the country's business elite. Drawing on business, political, social, and cultural history, Nerbas revises standard accounts of government-business relations in this period and sheds new light on the challenges facing big business in early twentieth-century Canada.

Domino and Intramolecular Rearrangement Reactions as Advanced Synthetic Methods in Glycoscience
by Zbigniew J. Witczak Roman BielskiThe book consists of a brief introduction, a foreward provided by professor Danishefsky of Columbia University, and about 14 - 16 chapters, each written by one or two eminent scholars/authors describing their recent research in the area of either domino reactions or intramolecular rearrangements in carbohydrate chemistry. Three or four chapters will be reviews. The domino (cascade, tandem) reactions are always intramolecular. They are usually very fast, clean and offer highly complex structures in a one pot process. Intramolecular rearrangements offer very similar advantages and often lead to highly complex products as well. Although many recently isolated carbohydrates fulfill various sophisticated functions, their structures are often very complex. The editors cover the broadest scope of novel methodologies possible. All the synthetic and application aspects of domino/cascade reactions are explored in this book. A second theme that will be covered is intramolecular rearrangement, which is also fast, stereoselective, and often constitutes one or more steps of domino /cascade process. Selected examples of intramolecular rearrangements are presented. Together, both processes offer an elegant and convenient approach to the synthesis of many complex molecules, which are normally difficult to synthesize via alternative routes. It appears that domino and intramolecular rearrangements are ideally suited to synthesize certain specific modified monosaccharides. What is particularly important is that both processes are intermolecular and almost always yield products with very well-defined stereochemistry. This high definition is absolutely crucial when synthesizing advanced, modified mono and oligosaccharides. The choice of contributors reflects an emphasis on both therapeutic and pharmacological aspects of carbohydrate chemistry.
Domino's Pizza
by David E. Bell Mary Shelman Phillip AndrewsDomino's Pizza is the world's second-largest pizza company with 9,436 stores globally, 95% of which are franchised. Domino's franchisees in the U.S. market were able to purchase fresh dough, cheese, pizza toppings, and other menu ingredients and store supplies directly from the company-owned supply chain system. When commodity prices became more volatile in 2007 and 2008, executives at Domino's changed the way they worked with suppliers and franchisees to manage costs and risks, and better leverage the assets of the supply chain system. As the company prepared to accelerate international growth in 2011 and beyond, executives contemplated how to best apply their purchasing and supply chain knowledge into new international markets.
Don Julio Mario: Biografia No Autorizada (Crónica Actual Ser.)
by GERARDO REYESEste libro es la bitácora del poder de ese personaje que ejerció unainfluencia tan abrumadora como invisible en la vida de millones decolombianos a través de una organización dinástica que vivía de lailusión de la omnipotencia, como alguna vez lo advirtió Enrique SantosCalderón. Es la semblanza de un seductor soberbio, sofisticado y mordazque impartía sus afectos y rencores a punta de besos y bofetadas, guiadopor las intrigas que le susurraban al oído sus auxiliares de turno. Cuando un ciudadano de a pie se detiene en una esquina de cualquiercapital de Colombia, seguramente encontrará alguna manifestación actualo reminiscente del imperio Santo Domingo: una valla de cerveza Águila,un restaurante Presto, el diario El Espectador colgado de un puestoambulante donde se venden jugos Tutti Frutti y agua Brisa, la voz deDarío Arizmendi, el director de Caracol Radio, o el paso de un avión deAvianca. Y lo más probable también es que tanto el alcalde de esa ciudadcomo el equipo de fútbol, el senador y el representante a la Cámara desu departamento hubieran sido patrocinados por don Julio Mario SantoDomingo, un hombre a quien ni el ciudadano ni los políticos vieron peroque estaba ahí, en sus vidas cotidianas y en otros paisajes másimperceptibles de la economía, influyendo en sus decisiones diarias, enlas noticias que los asombraban, en el presidente que los gobernaba, enel carro que manejaban y en las bebidas con que se emborrachaban, todoesto en un país donde se consume más cerveza que leche pasteurizada.
Don't Be Afraid to Win: How Free Agency Changed the Business of Pro Sports
by Jim QuinnLabeled by The New York Times as &“instrumental in helping change the face of major professional sports,&” attorney Jim Quinn has influenced modern sports business for decades. Beginning back in the 1970&’s with the landmark Oscar Robertson basketball free agency case, Quinn battled owners in all four major leagues to make sure the players got their fair share. In the early 1990&’s, he faced the goliath National Football League and won the right to free agency for players, Quinn has spent a lifetime dealing in the gritty sports business to make fair agreements for players. Quinn shares significant cases and legal proceedings across major American sports and tells stories of the courtroom battles he fought on behalf of players and labor leaders seeking economic justice in their workplace. He sheds light on known and unknown figures who committed to larger causes than themselves and that modern sports owes a debt to the leaders of the past who risked their careers. Through Quinn&’s lengthy career he has helped to empower athletes to speak and act in the best interest of the sports community and overcome some of the toxic figures who sought to drag down league success for their own ego and greed. In Don&’t Be Afraid to Win, Quinn provides a unique point of view of someone who was personally involved in making changes happen in the business. His is a masterful examination of how sports has grown dramatically over the decades, how it benefited from the rise of sports unions and free agency, and how there is still fairness to be gained across the leagues.
Don't Be Evil: How Big Tech Betrayed Its Founding Principles -- and All of Us
by Rana ForooharA penetrating indictment of how today&’s largest tech companies are hijacking our data, our livelihoods, our social fabric, and our minds—from an acclaimed Financial Times columnist and CNN analyst &“Don&’t be evil&” was enshrined as Google&’s corporate mantra back in its early days, when the company&’s cheerful logo still conveyed the utopian vision for a future in which technology would inevitably make the world better, safer, and more prosperous. Unfortunately, it&’s been quite a while since Google, or the majority of the Big Tech companies, lived up to this founding philosophy. Today, the utopia they sought to create is looking more dystopian than ever: from digital surveillance and the loss of privacy to the spreading of misinformation and hate speech to predatory algorithms targeting the weak and vulnerable to products that have been engineered to manipulate our desires. How did we get here? How did these once-scrappy and idealistic enterprises become rapacious monopolies with the power to corrupt our elections, co-opt all our data, and control the largest single chunk of corporate wealth—while evading all semblance of regulation and taxes? In Don&’t Be Evil, Financial Times global business columnist Rana Foroohar tells the story of how Big Tech lost its soul—and ate our lunch. Through her skilled reporting and unparalleled access—won through nearly thirty years covering business and technology—she shows the true extent to which behemoths like Google, Facebook, Apple, and Amazon are monetizing both our data and our attention, without us seeing a penny of those exorbitant profits. Finally, Foroohar lays out a plan for how we can resist, by creating a framework that fosters innovation while also protecting us from the dark side of digital technology.Advance praise for Don&’t Be Evil&“At first sight, Don&’t Be Evil looks like it&’s doing for Google what muckraking journalist Ida Tarbell did for Standard Oil over a century ago. But this whip-smart, highly readable book&’s scope turns out to be much broader. Worried about the monopolistic tendencies of big tech? The addictive apps on your iPhone? The role Facebook played in Donald Trump&’s election? Foroohar will leave you even more worried, but a lot better informed.&”—Niall Ferguson, Milbank Family Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford, and author of The Square and the Tower
Don't Be Such a Scientist, Second Edition: Talking Substance in an Age of Style
by Dr Randy OlsonWhen Randy Olson first described his life-changing encounter with an acting teacher in Don't Be Such a Scientist, it seemed like the world of science was on the cusp of gaining new respect in the public eye. Through his writing, speaking, and films, Olson challenged scientists to toss out jargon in favor of a more human approach, bringing Hollywood lessons to the scientific community. Yet today, in everything from government funding cuts to climate change denial, science is under attack. And while communicating science is more crucial than ever, the scientific community still struggles to connect with everyday people.The time is right for a new edition of Olson's revolutionary work. In Don't Be Such a Scientist, Second Edition, Olson renews his call for communication that stays true to the facts while tapping into something more primordial, more irrational, and ultimately more human. In more than 50 pages of new material, Olson brings his pioneering message to this new age, providing tools for speaking out in anti-science era and squaring off against members of the scientific establishment who resist needed change.Don't Be Such a Scientist, Second Edition is a cutting and irreverent manual to making your voice heard in an age of attacks on science. Invaluable for anyone looking to break out of the boxes of academia or research, Olson's writing will inspire readers to "make science human”—and to enjoy the ride along the way.
Don't Be Such a Scientist: Talking Substance in an Age of Style
by Randy OlsonAfter nearly a decade on the defensive, the world of science is about to be restored to its rightful place. But is the American public really ready for science? And is the world of science ready for the American public? Scientists wear ragged clothes, forget to comb their hair, and speak in a language that even they don't understand. Or so people think. Most scientists don't care how they are perceived, but in our media-dominated age, style points count.Enter Randy Olson. Fifteen years ago, Olson bid farewell to the science world and shipped off to Hollywood ready to change the world. With films like Flock of Dodos: The Evolution-Intelligent Design Circus (Tribeca '06, Showtime) and Sizzle: A Global Warming Comedy (Outfest '08), he has tried to bridge the cultural divide that has too often left science on the outside looking in.Now, in his first book, Olson, with a Harvard Ph.D. and formerly a tenured professor of marine biology at the University of New Hampshire, recounts the lessons from his own hilarious-and at times humiliating-evolution from science professor to Hollywood filmmaker. In Don't Be Such a Scientist, he shares the secrets of talking substance in an age of style. The key, he argues, is to stay true to the facts while tapping into something more primordial, more irrational, and ultimately more human.In a book enlivened by a profane acting teacher who made Olson realize that "nobody wants to watch you think," he offers up serious insights and poignant stories. You'll laugh, you may cry, and as a communicator you'll certainly learn the importance of not only knowing how to fulfill, but also how to arouse.
