Remembering Malcolm

Remembering Malcolm

Benjamin Karim; Peter Skutches; David Gallen

Random House USA Inc
1995
pokkari
"A memoir that shows the private Malcolm as a man who spoke far more of obedience, moderation, and peace than he did of violence."--Atlanta Journal & ConstitutionMany books have been written about Malcolm X in the three decades since his assassination, but in REMEMBERING MALCOLM, his assistant minister Benjamin Karim reveals an intimately human side of the great leader we have never seen before. Writing with an insider's knowledge and a disciple's devotion, Karim paints an unforgettable portrait of Malcolm X as counselor, minister, healer, and, above all, a dedicated member of his community.Here is a dramatic account of how Malcolm galvanized the Black Muslims through his tireless work at Harlem's New York Mosque Number Seven in the early 1960s. Here, too, are Karim's affectionate memories of the daily rituals and beliefs that bound Malcolm's people together--the courtship and marriage rites, the strict customs governing relations between men and women, the three-day fasts that ended in sumptuous sundown feasts, the rigorous discipline, and the quiet joys sanctioned by their faith.REMEMBERING MALCOLM is at once a beautiful memoir about a compelling human being and a vital historical document about one of the true American visionaries of the twentieth century."Intriguing behind-the-scenes details."--San Francisco Examiner & Chronicle From the Paperback edition.

Pensions

Bernard Benjamin; Steven Haberman; George Helowicz; Geraldine Kaye; David Wilkie

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2024
sidottu
Drawing on the authors’ extensive experience as actuaries, this work, originally published in 1987, provides a thorough examination of the problems which had arisen, and those that seemed likely to arise, with regard to both public and private pension funds at the time. It ranges in scope from the realities of individual plans and schemes devised by employers and employees to the management of pension funds and investment portfolios. The concept of socially responsible investment is discussed.Reliable statistical information on the health, age and occupation of the population is an important tool in planning pension schemes for both the public and private sectors, and this book includes a careful analysis of the available data, leading to many useful projections for the thirty to forty years which followed. Although the statistical information is derived from UK sources, the problems it relates to, and its analysis was applicable to pension planning in all developed countriesThe breadth of the authors’ approach, fully embracing the apprehension at the time about the demands of an increasingly ageing population and a partially unemployed workforce, would give this book added interest to a wide range of academics and professionals in financial institutions, government and the social services. Today it can be read in its historical context.

What is an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled drone and what can it do? Are AI-enabled drones better than human-controlled drones? This book will answer these questions and more, and empower you to develop your own AI-enabled drone.You'll progress from a list of specifications and requirements, in small and iterative steps, which will then lead to the development of Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams based in part to the standards established by for the Robotic Operating System (ROS). The ROS architecture has been used to develop land-based drones. This will serve as a reference model for the software architecture of unmanned systems. Using this approach you'll be able to develop a fully autonomous drone that incorporates object-oriented design and cognitive deep learning systems that adapts to multiple simulation environments. These multiple simulation environments will also allow you to further build public trust in the safety of artificial intelligence within drones and small UAS. Ultimately, you'll be able to build a complex system using the standards developed, and create other intelligent systems of similar complexity and capability.Intelligent Autonomous Drones with Cognitive Deep Learning uniquely addresses both deep learning and cognitive deep learning for developing near autonomous drones.What You’ll LearnExamine the necessary specifications and requirements for AI enabled drones for near-real time and near fully autonomous dronesLook at software and hardware requirementsUnderstand unified modeling language (UML) and real-time UML for designStudy deep learning neural networks for pattern recognitionReview geo-spatial Information for the development of detailed mission planning within these hostile environmentsWho This Book IsForPrimarily for engineers, computer science graduate students, or even a skilled hobbyist. The target readers have the willingness to learn and extend the topic of intelligent autonomous drones. They should have a willingness to explore exciting engineering projects that are limited only by their imagination. As far as the technical requirements are concerned, they must have an intermediate understanding of object-oriented programming and design.

Powering the Green Economy

Miguel Mendonca; David Jacobs; Benjamin K. Sovacool

Earthscan Ltd
2009
sidottu
Effective policy is vital for creating greener economies, new jobs and industries, for securing energy supplies and for protecting the climate and environment. As renewable energy is fundamental to achieving all of these objectives, it too needs the best possible policy to drive it. Feed-in tariffs have proven to deliver the fastest, most cost-effective and inclusive deployment, by allowing anyone to sell renewable energy into the grid and get a long term, guaranteed return for it. This book, from authors who have spent years working on feed-in tariff design and advocacy, provides a broad and detailed resource on feed-in tariffs and other renewable energy support schemes. It shares many lessons on good and bad design and implementation, as well as discussing the challenges faced by policy, and renewable energy in general. Powering the Green Economy: - Situates renewable energy and feed-in tariffs within the context of the global moves towards a green economy - Provides an introduction to feed-in tariffs and brings developments in key countries around the world up to date - Investigates effective design for developed and emerging economies - Explores technical, social and political issues - Analyses other support schemes - Describes the barriers to renewable energy - Presents a blueprint for campaigning successfully for feed-in tariffs Written in a clear, practical style, this is a must-read for policymakers, businesses, investors, campaigners, academics, community groups and anyone concerned with creating successful and sustainable energy policy.

Rules Of The Service Game: What Service Leaders Need To Know

Rules Of The Service Game: What Service Leaders Need To Know

Jochen Wirtz; Benjamin Schneider; David E Bowen

World Scientific Publishing Co Inc (USA)
2026
sidottu
This book summarizes the 'rules of the service game' and presents the distilled lessons from three leaders' decades-long experience in consulting, teaching, and research on service, summarizing the 'rules of the game' they have learned. In particular, the authors emphasize that people (customers, employees, and managers) remain a prominent key to success in service, regardless of the level and extent of technology, robotics, and artificial intelligence (AI) involved.Embracing the social psychology of the various stakeholders and the settings in which they interact is critical for the long-term health of service organizations because this is what can yield sustainable competitive advantage. To be effective, service leaders need to understand the complexities of people so that they can create and support appropriate psycho-social contexts in their organizations.This book draws on the interrelated disciplines of social psychology, organizational behavior, and organizational psychology to distill fundamental principles that help inform the effective management of people and their organizational contexts. This book summarizes the most important 'rules of the game' on how to build effective service organizations for people to innovate, design, and co-create value.Rules of the Service Game provides a sharp and concise summary of how to manage a service organization by three thought leaders in this field. It reveals how people are central to the development of services whether those are delivered via technology, personally, or — more likely — a combination of these. This book deals with the organizational and contextual issues that produce the service quality marketing promotes. A central focus of the book is talent management — how to attract, retain, and manage the talent necessary for creating and implementing the wide range of service delivery systems that will be required in the future.

Yale University Press
2014

An appreciation of the beautiful, iconic, and endangered Eastern Hemlock and what it means to nature and society The Eastern Hemlock, massive and majestic, has played a unique role in structuring northeastern forest environments, from Nova Scotia to Wisconsin and through the Appalachian Mountains to North Carolina, Tennessee, and Alabama. A “foundation species” influencing all the species in the ecosystem surrounding it, this iconic North American tree has long inspired poets and artists as well as naturalists and scientists. Five thousand years ago, the hemlock collapsed as a result of abrupt global climate change. Now this iconic tree faces extinction once again because of an invasive insect, the hemlock woolly adelgid. Drawing from a century of studies at Harvard University’s Harvard Forest, one of the most well-regarded long-term ecological research programs in North America, the authors explore what hemlock’s modern decline can tell us about the challenges facing nature and society in an era of habitat changes and fragmentation, as well as global change.
