The Charisma Code is a hand- book for living and communicating in this new world. While we know the next big innovations will spring from global culture, it's not always clear how to join this planet-without-borders conversation. Robin Sol Lieberman's 3-step process-laid out in The Charisma Code- teaches you how to connect and collaborate with anyone, anywhere by speaking charisma's language beyond words. Whether you're an emerging global leader, a volunteer for human rights, or simply a world traveller who doesn't understand the native tongue, these step.

Mateo is an enforcer, a skilled killer in a world ruled by blood and power. But behind the hardened mask, a sliver of compassion remains. The lives he breaks are sacrifices to protect the one person left who depends on him. Every act of violence pushes him closer to the darkness, making him the monster he is paid to be. When one bloody job spirals out of control, he is betrayed. Now, Mateo is the hunted, on the run with not just his life on the line, but the hope that clings to his soul. But with enemies closing in and a past he can never fully outrun, Mateo must do more than survive. This is a tale of violence and despair, where the lines between right and wrong blur in the dust. It asks: Can a man forged by brutality rise above it? Is there an escape from a path stained red? Or are some destinies carved in bloodshed, with the only choices being who dies and who walks away scarred?

What if God embedded a code in the Bible that could only be cracked in the end times--a prophetic cypher that reveals how the four blood moons and the biblical Shemitah are just signs of the beginning of end-time events? Unlocking a great mystery that has puzzled scholars for nearly two thousand years, THE BABYLON CODE reveals how powerful forces are now at work to create a global government, cashless society, and universal religion as predicted by the prophets. The result of a five-year journalistic investigation, THE BABYLON CODE takes readers on a spellbinding journey to explore the link between the world's most secret organizations, the Bible's greatest prophetic riddle, and what world-renowned evangelist Billy Graham describes as a convergence in end-time signs for the first time in history. This prophetic mystery book pieces together the apocalyptic puzzle--uncovering what may be not only the biggest story and political scandal in modern history, but also the secret to both our survival and our salvation.

An overview of the most prominent contemporary parallel processing programming models, written in a unique tutorial style. With the coming of the parallel computing era, computer scientists have turned their attention to designing programming models that are suited for high-performance parallel computing and supercomputing systems. Programming parallel systems is complicated by the fact that multiple processing units are simultaneously computing and moving data. This book offers an overview of some of the most prominent parallel programming models used in high-performance computing and supercomputing systems today. The chapters describe the programming models in a unique tutorial style rather than using the formal approach taken in the research literature. The aim is to cover a wide range of parallel programming models, enabling the reader to understand what each has to offer. The book begins with a description of the Message Passing Interface (MPI), the most common parallel programming model for distributed memory computing. It goes on to cover one-sided communication models, ranging from low-level runtime libraries (GASNet, OpenSHMEM) to high-level programming models (UPC, GA, Chapel); task-oriented programming models (Charm++, ADLB, Scioto, Swift, CnC) that allow users to describe their computation and data units as tasks so that the runtime system can manage computation and data movement as necessary; and parallel programming models intended for on-node parallelism in the context of multicore architecture or attached accelerators (OpenMP, Cilk Plus, TBB, CUDA, OpenCL). The book will be a valuable resource for graduate students, researchers, and any scientist who works with data sets and large computations. Contributors Timothy Armstrong, Michael G.

Praise for THE MILLIONAIRE CODE "A wonderfully worthy book, especially in an era when the wrongkind of capitalism has been in the driver's seat. The MillionaireCode is about something far more noble than money-the joy of livingyour life to the fullest simply by finding what it is you love todo, and then doing it. 'Hats off' to Paul Farrell for picking upwhere William Shakespeare left off: 'This above all: to thine ownself be true.'" -John C. Bogle Founder and former CEO, The Vanguard Group "To make your savings grow, you need to know three things: the waythe markets work, the way market history works, and the way youwork. Let Paul Farrell take you on an enlightening, enjoyable, andprofitable journey to the inner self of the successfulinvestor." -William J. Bernstein, PhD, MD author of The Four Pillars of Investing: Lessons for Building aWinning Portfolio and The Intelligent Asset Allocator "Combining personality theory, solid investment advice, and Zenphilosophy, Paul Farrell demonstrates concretely how necessary itis to combine your personality and investing styles in order tocreate meaningful wealth. If you want to learn what it takes todevelop your own unique investment strategy-the only kind likely tosucceed-this is the book to get." -Dr. Richard Geist Clinical Instructor, Department of Psychiatry (Psychology) Harvard Medical School "An important work. Leave it to Paul Farrell to provide a trulyunique insight into the minds of millionaire investors. I have beenimpressed with Paul Farrell's work for many years. His latest book,The Millionaire Code, provides an important contribution to theworld of investing. Truly unique insights." -Charles Carlson author, Eight $teps to $even Figures: The Investment Strategies ofEveryday Millionaires and How You Can Become Wealthy Too "It's often said that if you don't know who you are, Wall Street isan expensive place to find out. By helping you understand moreabout yourself, this book will help you become a more successfulinvestor." -Ric Edelman Chairman, Edelman Financial Services, author of Ordinary People,Extraordinary Wealth, and Discover the Wealth Within You

A fascinating examination of technological utopianism and its complicated consequences. In The Charisma Machine, Morgan Ames chronicles the life and legacy of the One Laptop per Child project and explains why—despite its failures—the same utopian visions that inspired OLPC still motivate other projects trying to use technology to “disrupt” education and development. Announced in 2005 by MIT Media Lab cofounder Nicholas Negroponte, One Laptop per Child promised to transform the lives of children across the Global South with a small, sturdy, and cheap laptop computer, powered by a hand crank. In reality, the project fell short in many ways—starting with the hand crank, which never materialized. Yet the project remained charismatic to many who were captivated by its claims of access to educational opportunities previously out of reach. Behind its promises, OLPC, like many technology projects that make similarly grand claims, had a fundamentally flawed vision of who the computer was made for and what role technology should play in learning. Drawing on fifty years of history and a seven-month study of a model OLPC project in Paraguay, Ames reveals that the laptops were not only frustrating to use, easy to break, and hard to repair, they were designed for “technically precocious boys”—idealized younger versions of the developers themselves—rather than the children who were actually using them. The Charisma Machine offers a cautionary tale about the allure of technology hype and the problems that result when utopian dreams drive technology development.
