Download or read book Rap on Trial written by Erik Nielson and published by The New Press. This book was released on 2019-11-12 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking exposé about the alarming use of rap lyrics as criminal evidence to convict and incarcerate young men of color Should Johnny Cash have been charged with murder after he sang, "I shot a man in Reno just to watch him die"? Few would seriously subscribe to this notion of justice. Yet in 2001, a rapper named Mac whose music had gained national recognition was convicted of manslaughter after the prosecutor quoted liberally from his album Shell Shocked. Mac was sentenced to thirty years in prison, where he remains. And his case is just one of many nationwide. Over the last three decades, as rap became increasingly popular, prosecutors saw an opportunity: they could present the sometimes violent, crime-laden lyrics of amateur rappers as confessions to crimes, threats of violence, evidence of gang affiliation, or revelations of criminal motive—and judges and juries would go along with it. Detectives have reopened cold cases on account of rap lyrics and videos alone, and prosecutors have secured convictions by presenting such lyrics and videos of rappers as autobiography. Now, an alarming number of aspiring rappers are imprisoned. No other form of creative expression is treated this way in the courts. Rap on Trial places this disturbing practice in the context of hip hop history and exposes what's at stake. It's a gripping, timely exploration at the crossroads of contemporary hip hop and mass incarceration.

Download or read book The Millionaire Next Door written by Thomas J. Stanley and published by Rosetta Books. This book was released on 2010-11-30 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do the rich get rich? An updated edition of the “remarkable” New York Times bestseller, based on two decades of research (The Washington Post). Most of the truly wealthy in the United States don’t live in Beverly Hills or on Park Avenue. They live next door. America’s wealthy seldom get that way through an inheritance or an advanced degree. They bargain-shop for used cars, raise children who don’t realize how rich their families are, and reject a lifestyle of flashy exhibitionism and competitive spending. In fact, the glamorous people many of us think of as “rich” are actually a tiny minority of America’s truly wealthy citizens—and behave quite differently than the majority. At the time of its first publication, The Millionaire Next Door was a groundbreaking examination of America’s rich—exposing for the first time the seven common qualities that appear over and over among this exclusive demographic. This edition includes a new foreword by Dr. Thomas J. Stanley—updating the original content in the context of the financial crash and the twenty-first century. “Their surprising results reveal fundamental qualities of this group that are diametrically opposed to today’s earn-and-consume culture.” —Library Journal

Download or read book Income And Wealth From Self Directed Investing written by Ian Duncan MacDonald and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-17 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2001, after an investment adviser lost $300,000 of Ian MacDonald`s money, he took what was left and self-managed it. His investment objective was to build a stock scoring program that would give him an annual dividend income worth 6% of his portfolio, while increasing the value of that portfolio every year by about 9% (his background was in building commercial risk scoring computer programs for the banks and other businesses). He succeeded in his objective. While he had developed that stock scoring program for his own use, in 2019 he used it to help an elderly lady who had suffered a catastrophic financial loss, due to am investment adviser`s greed. After much of her loss had been recovered and her monthly income had doubled, she told Ian MacDonald that he needed to write a book to help people like her who knew little about investing and could easily be taken advantage of . He wrote that book. It is called, "Income and Wealth from Self-Directed Investing".He includes that PC stock scoring program with his 300 page book. To further help investors, in the last 100 pages of the book, are charts listing all the companies traded on the TSX that pay a dividend of 3.5% or more. Four sorts of the data in these charts is provided: by score, stock price, dividend percent and by company name. The data sorts make it easy and fast to identify and weigh which stocks are the best ones to add to your portfolio. Like the elderly widow, there are many who fear that they will outlive their life savings? They feel forced to use investment advisers because no one has shown them how to invest safely. Ian MacDonald`s book takes away the fear of investing by explaining, the following in easy to understand language: (1) The danger of entrusting your money to an investment adviser whose fees and hidden agenda could drain your savings.(2) Why investing in dividend paying common stock is the safest way for you to invest, as compared to bonds, mutual funds, etc. (3) How to open an online self-directed stock trading account without having to involve bank employees.(4) How to easily find for your portfolio the best twenty stocks for capital gain and the highest dividends.(5) How to find and sort potential stock purchases from best to worse, so you can pick the twenty best and safest.(6) How to verify that stocks have no harmful information attached to them that could potentially be a problem if purchased.(7) How to purchase a stock you have carefully chosen, in less than five minutes.(8) How to quickly and easily monitor your purchased stocks on a daily, monthly and quarterly basis.The stock market is not a casino and what Ian MacDonald teaches is not a get rich quick scheme. It is a logical, easy to understand method of investing. Since implementing his scoring system, his portfolio has grown by 300% while generating a steady ever growing retirement income. He thinks every investor should now know exactly what they are invested in and understand why they are invested in it. Through booming times and recessions there is no reason your self-directed portfolio can not generate a reliable monthly income and grow year-after-year.

Download or read book Embedded System Design written by Peter Marwedel and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-11-16 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until the late 1980s, information processing was associated with large mainframe computers and huge tape drives. During the 1990s, this trend shifted toward information processing with personal computers, or PCs. The trend toward miniaturization continues and in the future the majority of information processing systems will be small mobile computers, many of which will be embedded into larger products and interfaced to the physical environment. Hence, these kinds of systems are called embedded systems. Embedded systems together with their physical environment are called cyber-physical systems. Examples include systems such as transportation and fabrication equipment. It is expected that the total market volume of embedded systems will be significantly larger than that of traditional information processing systems such as PCs and mainframes. Embedded systems share a number of common characteristics. For example, they must be dependable, efficient, meet real-time constraints and require customized user interfaces (instead of generic keyboard and mouse interfaces). Therefore, it makes sense to consider common principles of embedded system design. Embedded System Design starts with an introduction into the area and a survey of specification models and languages for embedded and cyber-physical systems. It provides a brief overview of hardware devices used for such systems and presents the essentials of system software for embedded systems, like real-time operating systems. The book also discusses evaluation and validation techniques for embedded systems. Furthermore, the book presents an overview of techniques for mapping applications to execution platforms. Due to the importance of resource efficiency, the book also contains a selected set of optimization techniques for embedded systems, including special compilation techniques. The book closes with a brief survey on testing. Embedded System Design can be used as a text book for courses on embedded systems and as a source which provides pointers to relevant material in the area for PhD students and teachers. It assumes a basic knowledge of information processing hardware and software. Courseware related to this book is available at http://ls12-www.cs.tu-dortmund.de/~marwedel.

Download or read book Abstraction in Artificial Intelligence and Complex Systems written by Lorenza Saitta and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-06-05 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstraction is a fundamental mechanism underlying both human and artificial perception, representation of knowledge, reasoning and learning. This mechanism plays a crucial role in many disciplines, notably Computer Programming, Natural and Artificial Vision, Complex Systems, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Art, and Cognitive Sciences. This book first provides the reader with an overview of the notions of abstraction proposed in various disciplines by comparing both commonalities and differences. After discussing the characterizing properties of abstraction, a formal model, the KRA model, is presented to capture them. This model makes the notion of abstraction easily applicable by means of the introduction of a set of abstraction operators and abstraction patterns, reusable across different domains and applications. It is the impact of abstraction in Artificial Intelligence, Complex Systems and Machine Learning which creates the core of the book. A general framework, based on the KRA model, is presented, and its pragmatic power is illustrated with three case studies: Model-based diagnosis, Cartographic Generalization, and learning Hierarchical Hidden Markov Models.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Physics written by David Halliday and published by . This book was released on 2001-07-05 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The publication of the first edition of Physics in 1960 launched the modern era of physics textbooks. It was a new paradigm then and, after 40 years, it continues to be the dominant model for all texts. The big change in the market has been a shift to a lower level, more accessible version of the model. Fundamentals of Physics is a good example of this shift. In spite of this change, there continues to be a demand for the original version and, indeed, we are seeing a renewed interest in Physics as demographic changes have led to greater numbers of well-prepared students entering university. Physics is the only book available for academics looking to teach a more demanding course.
