a "goes up" book

Reviewed: 08-25-21 Listener received this title free

I thought this was a wonderful book that added to my knowledge of Japan, where I lived as a child, and of wabi-sabi. I have read just about every book on wabi-sabi but this book presents some additional insight that made me think of new ideas and viewpoints regarding the aesthetic philosophy. I highly recommend it.

A good thing to also point out is that using Scrum is just plain fun! It’s all about team work, collaboration, and making decisions together. It can be fun to work closely in a group; you get to know others on a personal level and might even make new friends out of it! Apart from that, it’s a fantastic way to use your creative side and really get in touch with learning new things. You’re able to bounce new ideas off each other, and truly feel as if you’re contributing to something special.

Using Scrum is implementing the best part of software development, which is a creative and multi-faceted activity that works best when everyone is doing their share.

There are also several instances when Scrum can help a business in very specific ways. After all, maybe your business is doing just fine, and you think it doesn’t need a change.

Benefits of cryptocurrency platforms

Reviewed: 08-20-21

It is true that blockchain is versatile and you are going to be able to do an assortment of tasks on the blockchain. But, why would you want to invest with cryptocurrency instead of using traditional trading methods?

When you invest with cryptocurrency, you are going to be promised that your identity is going to be protected and your money will be protected as well. This is because there is not going to be the need to put your personal information into the system to complete transactions. In fact, there is going to be a bitcoin email that will be assigned to you and will change each time that you complete a purchase.

Another benefit of cryptocurrency platforms is that they are going to aid you when you are traveling overseas. There are not going to be any transaction fees or exchange fees that you would typically have to pay when you go to a bank and try to exchange money.

Simplicity At Its Finest!

Reviewed: 08-20-21

Raising backyard chickens is a highly rewarding activity for modern families. It offers them numerous benefits and provides them with a highly enjoyable activity. Having an efficient chicken coop is one of the most important prerequisites of raising backyard chickens.

One of the best ways to decide whether or not to raise chicken in a backyard is to answer a series of very simple questions. The first question people should ask themselves is, "Why do I want to raise backyard chickens?" The answer to this question will truly reveal whether committing to raising chickens is realistic or not. It's important to have a few motivating factors in maintaining that commitment in the long run.

The answer to the above question will also help aspiring backyard chicken owners decide the breed of chickens they want to purchase or hatch. If they desire a continuous supply of eggs, they can go for a breed that is known for eggs. If the motivating factor is fresh and organic meat, they can go for a larger breed of chicken that provides more meat. If an individual or a family intends to raise chickens as a hobby, they can go for an ornamental breed that suits the climate they live in.

This guide hopes to provide the reader with the information, tips and tricks, and guidance so that they can build a great chicken coop.

Reviewed: 08-20-21

Everyone has trust issues with something in their lives. A lot of people even have mistrust in inputting their information on the internet, but that has not stopped them from doing it. One purpose of blockchain technology is to help ease the distrust people have with inputting their information on the internet. It is one of the main reason’s companies are investing their money in using this technology.

A study showed that between 2013 and 2016 blockchain-managed money reached a total of $1.6 billion. That was a 1,600 percent increase. An estimated 1.4 billion in venture capital was put into blockchain startups.

The industry that has benefitted a great deal with blockchain is the financial industry. Blockchain has been beneficial in finance because large sums of money and transactions are in play.

The top jobs in computer programming.

Reviewed: 07-24-21 Listener received this title free

This book is a must-read for anyone aspiring or practicing in the field of quantitative finance. Zach' work is extremely well-written, easy to follow, and detailed.

As a financial engineer, I use numerical methods in my daily life; most of these I thought were only possible in lower-level languages. I was incredibly shocked to learn that all of these advanced mathematical methodologies can be written in Python and used for practical applications in algorithmic trading. In addition to walking the reader through these methods step-by-step, Zach teaches the reader how to build a real, working algorithmic trading strategy (several of them actually) and gives the reader the tools to backtest and implement the strategy for their own use!

This is the first book, to my knowledge, that covers these incredibly important steps and does so in a way that programmers of all experience-levels can understand. Absolutely brilliant work!

Comprehensive guide for landlords

Reviewed: 06-23-21 Listener received this title free

It is important that your tenants have a landlord they know that they can count on. This is not to say that you should be their best friend but that you should be providing them with a safe place to live. When something needs fixed, do it. When someone needs help, help them. Even if you are working as a landlord and not as a friend, you should be able to make sure that you are helping people when they want to be helped.
