On-Premise Catering

Hotels, Convention Centers, Arenas, Clubs, and More

By: Patti J. Shock,John M. Stefanelli,Cheryl Sgovio

On-Premise Catering Despite the fact that foreign stocks make up a larger portion of world equity markets than U.S. stocks, only a small portion of American investors’ dollars are allocated overseas. Many of the world’s biggest and fastest-growing companies are located outside the United States, so a global portfolio can bestow rich rewards on the savvy investor. But increased return opportunities aren’t the only benefit. Greater opportunities for risk management through diversification are another important advantage of a global investment portfolio. Yet even the most sophisticated investors have been deterred by misconceptions about the risks associated with foreign stocks and the seeming lack of information about foreign markets. Own the World will educate you on the importance of going global, the investment vehicles providing access to global markets, and potential pitfalls to watch out for when expanding portfolios overseas. Author Aaron Anderson, an analyst at Fisher Investments, describes the benefits of global investing in straightforward terms. He explains that many of the world’s most successful firms are located outside the United States, including many of the companies Americans rely on most. He details how investing globally can increase diversification and reduce portfolio risk because different conditions in different countries can cause domestic and foreign stocks to be imperfectly correlated. The author provides an overview of global stock markets and describes how to efficiently employ a top-down approach to building a global portfolio. He outlines some of the factors impacting stock prices around the world as well as some of the more challenging aspects of global investing, such as political risks, different accounting standards, and others. He further explains that, in many cases, the perceived risk is greater than the actual risk. While global investing can’t insulate investors from all the ups and downs inherent in stocks no matter where they’re from, it can unleash myriad opportunities to take advantage of the growth potential and risk-reducing benefits of stocks around the world. This book can show you how to take full advantage of these tremendous opportunities.

A Practical Logic of Cognitive Systems

A Practical Logic of Cognitive Systems

The Reach of Abduction: Insight and Trial

By: Dov M. Gabbay,John Woods

The present work is a continuation of the authors' acclaimed multi-volume APractical Logic of Cognitive Systems. After having investigated the notion ofrelevance in their previous volume, Gabbay and Woods now turn to abduction. Inthis highly original approach, abduction is construed as ignorance-preservinginference, in which conjecture plays a pivotal role. Abduction is a response to acognitive target that cannot be hit on the basis of what the agent currently knows.The abducer selects a hypothesis which were it true would enable the reasoner to attain his target. He concludes from this fact that the hypothesis may be conjectured. In allowing conjecture to stand in for the knowledge he fails to have, the abducer reveals himself to be a satisficer, since an abductive solution is not a solution from knowledge. Key to the authors' analysis is the requirement that a conjectured proposition is not just what a reasoner might allow himself to assume, but a proposition he must defeasibly release as a premiss for further inferences in the domain of enquiry in which the original abduction problem has arisen.The coverage of the book is extensive, from the philosophy of science tocomputer science and AI, from diagnostics to the law, from historical explanation to linguistic interpretation. One of the volume's strongest contributions is its exploration of the abductive character of criminal trials, with special attention given to the standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt.Underlying their analysis of abductive reasoning is the authors' conception ofpractical agency. In this approach, practical agency is dominantly a matter of thecomparative modesty of an agent's cognitive agendas, together with comparatively scant resources available for their advancement. Seen in these ways, abduction has a significantly practical character, precisely because it is a form of inference that satisfices rather than maximizes its response to the agent's cognitive target.The Reach of Abduction will be necessary reading for researchers, graduatestudents and senior undergraduates in logic, computer science, AI, belief dynamics, argumentation theory, cognitive psychology and neuroscience, linguistics, forensic science, legal reasoning and related areas.Key features:- Reach of Abduction is fully integrated with a background logic of cognitive systems.- The most extensive coverage compared to competitive works.- Demonstrates not only that abduction is a form of ignorance preservinginference but that it is a mode of inference that is wholly rational.- Demonstrates the satisficing rather than maximizing character ofabduction.- The development of formal models of abduction is considerably more extensive than one finds in existing literature. It is an especially impressive amalgam of sophisticatedconceptual analysis and extensive logical modelling.· Reach of Abduction is fully integrated with a background logic of cognitive systems.· The most extensive coverage compared to competitive works· Demonstrates not only that abduction is a form of ignorance preservinginference but that it is a mode of inference that is wholly rational.· Demonstrates the satisficing rather than maximizing character ofabduction.· The development of formal models of abduction is considerably more extensive than one finds in existing literature.
