One of Rita Joe's most influential poems, "I Lost My Talk" tells
the revered Mi'kmaw Elder's childhood story of losing her language
while a resident of the residential school in Shubenacadie, Nova
Scotia. An often quoted piece in this era of truth and
reconciliation, Joe's powerful words explore and celebrate the
survival of Mi'kmaw culture and language despite its attempted
eradication. A necessary reminder of a dark chapter in Canada's
history, this slim volume is a powerful reading experience, and an
effective teaching tool for young readers of all cultures and
backgrounds. Includes a biography of Rita Joe and striking colour
illustrations by contemporary Mi'kmaw artist Pauline Young.
What drives investor behaviour? We would all like to think we
always behave rationally but in reality we are often swayed by
emotions. Most financial theories are based on the idea that
everyone takes careful account of all available information before
making investment decisions. However, researchers have uncovered a
surprisingly large amount of evidence that this is not the case.
Dozens of examples of irrational behaviour and repeated errors in
judgement have been documented in academic studies. This book gives
plenty of examples of investment mistakes, and analyses them from a
Behavioural Finance perspective. Behavioural Finance is the study
of the influence of psychology on the behaviour of investors and
their subsequent effect on the markets. It combines the discipline
of psychology and economics to explain why and how people make
irrational or illogical decisions when they make investment
decisions.
Equity records are a wonderful source of genealogical information.
In the course of settling disputed or complicated inheritance,
names of children, stepchildren, half siblings, maiden names,
deceased spouses, first, second, third spouses, and extended family
relations may all be part of the revelation of troubles and
relationships found in Equity Court holdings. In many suits, dozens
of pieces of evidence have been compressed into a few paragraphs of
names, dates, situations and decrees. These equity records cover
the time frame 1782-1860.
