The innocent-sounding "Winner, winner, chicken dinner" could get you an evil stare in Las Vegas. I should know. As a veteran dealer and floor manager, I've written a book detailing the best, worst, and funniest parts of casino life for anyone who'd like to work in one or is just intrigued by the carnival-like atmosphere. The only one of its kind, The Cardslinger is flush with vignettes about the hilarity, naughtiness, depravity, and revenge that ensue at your average casino. The book is a must read for anyone contemplating working at a casino or who visits a casino regularly. Readers will learn basic terms and how to play many games-as well as how not to be that guy (or gal) everyone hates. I've worked at casinos from Las Vegas to Florida-and yes, Robert Wagner is my real name. Having met more than a million people, I've also worked games with more than a million and a half dollars riding on them. I decided to write The Cardslinger: Memoirs of a Casino Dealer exactly one year after my wife's passing. In it, I wanted to do what I do best, which is make people laugh.

Read the inspiring story of Robert Wagner's life, including how he built a wine business during Prohibition. A fascinating memoir from one of the recipients of Georgetown's John Carroll award.

This novel is historical fiction. It's setting is the Spanish Inquisition and Spain's reconquest from the Arabs. Described are Spain's monarchs efforts to create a country of pure blood and one faith (Catholicism). To this end non Christians were expelled and their wealth retained.

They are subjected to the cruelties of self-serving Church and Kings. Perla is arrested for heresy but is rescued from the stake by Casiano. They escape to live in freedom, away from Church and Crown.

O livro Legislações da Inteligência: seleção de leis específicas para a atividade de Inteligência da Abin, uma publicação exclusiva da Amazon Prime em sua 1a Edição de 2023, com recurso de áudio habilitado (ebook-Alexa), apresenta principais leis e atos normativos ao arcabouço da Atividade de Inteligência brasileira, a exemplo da Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais (LGPD, Lei 13.709/18), da Política Nacional de Segurança Pública e Defesa Social (PNSPDS, Lei 13.675/18), da Política Nacional de Inteligência (PNI, Decreto 8.793/2016). Isto é, as normas federais de abrangência nacional, com aplicação a todo ente federativo (União, Estados-membros, Distrito Federal e Municípios), bem como a disciplina dos parâmetros e limites legais da atuação da Atividade de Inteligência (Inteligência e Contrainteligência) e de seus executores (órgãos, autarquias, pessoas jurídicas) no âmbito do Sistema Brasileiro de Inteligência (Sisbin). No Brasil, a atividade de Inteligência de Estado é coordenada pelo órgão federal Agência Brasileira de Inteligência (Abin), criado pela Lei federal n° 9.883 de 7 de dezembro de 1999. À Abin compete "planejar e executar ações, inclusive sigilosas, relativas à obtenção e análise de dados para a produção de conhecimentos destinados a assessorar o Presidente da República; relativas à proteção de conhecimento sensíveis, de interesses à segurança do Estado e da sociedade civil; avaliar ameaças, internas ou externas, à ordem constitucional da República Federativa do Brasil (CF/88); e promover o desenvolvimento de recursos humanos e da doutrina de Inteligência, seus estudos e pesquisas para o exercício e aprimoramento da atividade de Inteligência" (art. 4°, Lei 9.883/99). O objetivo dessa obra é, mediante a reunião de tal legislação nacional (atualizada), fortalecer os princípios constitucionais da publicidade e legalidade (art. 37, caput, CF/1988); ser instrumento e acesso ao estudo da matéria de Inteligência de Estado. Em um regime democrático de direito, a publicidade da legislação de um órgão qual a Abin é a regra, sendo a exceção o sigilo, este nos casos expressos em lei especial (Segurança Nacional). Então, o conhecimento da "letra da lei" é fundamental para quem almeja ingressar, via concurso público de provas ou de provas e títulos, nos quadros de cargos efetivos da Abin (Oficial de Inteligência, Agente de Inteligência, etc.).

In Zeiten schnellen technologischen Wandels und in einem stets dynamischen Wettbewerbsumfeld versuchen Unternehmen durch Innovationen einen komparativen Vorteil zu erlangen, um wettbewerbsfähig zu bleiben. Eine Möglichkeit, Zugang zu dem für die Innovationen benötigten Wissen zu erhalten, bietet die Zusammenarbeit mit Unternehmen oder Forschungseinrichtungen in Form der kooperativen Technologieentwicklung. Ein diesbezüglich relevantes Konzept ist das der Absorptive Capacity. Es versucht zu erklären, warum Unternehmen unterschiedlich leicht Zugang zu potenziell für Innovationen relevantem Wissen finden und warum Unternehmen dieses Wissen teilweise mehr, teilweise weniger effizient umsetzen können. Obwohl bereits zahlreiche Forschungsbeiträge theoretische Zusammenhänge der Absorptive Capacity genauer beleuchtet haben, wurde den tatsächlich zur Anwendung kommenden Praktiken bisher wenig Beachtung geschenkt. An dieser Lücke setzt diese Arbeit an und fokussiert so die Praktiken der Absorptive Capacity.
