ABOUT DON'T STOP THE ROLLER COASTER
"I’ve found that most people with big incomes don’t understand the value of a few dollars to someone who has no money. But I do. I learned that lesson very early on."
Tom DePetrillo started with nothing, made a fortune, lost it, went personally bankrupt—and the next day, he started a new career. His life has been a roller-coaster ride, and now that he’s at the top, he has never forgotten where he started and what a difference a little help can make when someone needs it.
Don't Stop the Roller Coaster is a book about the ups and downs of one man's business career and the lessons he learned along the way. Tom has seen both sides of the economic divide in this country. When he was young he was one of eleven children, and he dropped out of school to help his family make ends meet. Today, after taking more than eighty companies public on Wall Street, he runs several very successful companies, and is an active contributor to Rhode Island and national progressive politicians.
Tom has been a lifelong learner, never comfortable taking the easy path. With government help and an eagerness to try something new, he rose quickly, first in a military career, then in civil engineering, then in the financial world.
Don't Stop the Roller Coaster focuses on the lessons he has learned throughout his business career. He offers surprising and valuable insights into a variety of topics, such as bankruptcy, the “real” cost of prescription drugs, and what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur.
In this fascinating memoir/idea book, Tom addresses the current financial and political scene in the United States, and offers solutions based on his common sense and exceptional business intelligence.

It depends on what you are looking for. If you want a book that can keep you entertained for the length of the day, an iPad is a better option. If you want a more perusal book experience, then a Kindle would be a better choice.
Is it better to read on an eReader or a tablet?
It depends on the book. Some books are better read on an eReader than others. For example, you might prefer books on an iPad over books on a tablet.

Prophecy of the Seals
Long ago, the world was not as we know it today. The Elemental Chaos raged unchecked. Flames burned, winds surged, waters roiled, and the earth quaked. Elder elemental princes ruled their own domains, waging constant war with each other.
But the Shapers sought to end the chaos and bring the world to order. They exerted their will to tame the Elemental Chaos, using their potent magic to bind the elder elementals.
They protected Artesia from the planes of the Elemental Chaos, warding it from the rampages of elementals and demons. To do this, the Shapers trapped the bound power of the elder elemental princes into powerful magical artifacts, known as the Fragments of Chaos.
The Shapers used the power of the Fragments. They raised mountains, whispered forests into existence, and flattened plains and grasslands. They created the seas and the oceans, the skies, the sun, and the moons. They shaped the world we now know Artesia.
After the Shapers departed Artesia, the gods looked down upon their creation from their high planes and saw fit to descend upon it. They took the work of the Shapers and made their own mark upon it. Bahamut created the dragons in his image, the firstborn of Artesia. From the efforts of the other gods, races and creatures of all kinds came into existence and spread out across the land.
The gods and their followers eventually came into conflict with each other and war broke out between deities. With their own divine power pitted against each other, the gods discovered that they needed an edge if they wanted victory. It was Bane who was first to find a Fragment of Chaos left behind by the Shapers, the Fragment of Fire.
He used the Fragment to devastate his foes and almost gained complete dominance over the other gods until Erathis found the Fragment of Earth. With it, she began to fight Bane to a standstill.
The other Fragments were soon found and they all changed hands often, usually taken by force, sometimes by deception. In the hands of the gods, the Fragments wrought destruction upon the lands of Artesia.
Finally, tiring of the endless strife, Bahamut summoned his brothers and sisters to a council to discuss bringing an end to their great conflict. All of the gods recognized that the power of the Fragments were too great, even for them, and that if the conflict was allowed to continue, the chaos would spread to other planes.
The gods agreed to destroy the Fragments of Chaos so that none of them would ever be tempted to use them ever again. On Moradin’s great forge, after working tirelessly for many days, the Fragments were unmade. Then, the gods followed through with the second part of their agreement.
They bid farewell to their followers and disciples, then departed Artesia. They understood that they had wrought too much damage upon the young world and knew that unless they left, it would never heal.
But though the Fragments were unmade, their power survived. It had dispersed into the land itself and into its inhabitants. After the destruction of the Fragments, mortals began to manifest markings upon their bodies that allowed them to carry out incredible feats.
Scholars began to understand that the power of the Fragments had been broken down into smaller, weaker forces. These markings, which became known as Markings of the Seals, could manifest in mortals and marked them forever for a special destiny.
Galbados Cid, the famed sage of Val Varanais, theorized that the Fragments’ full power could manifest in a single individual, and that this individual would then be armed with the might of an elder elemental prince. But he warned that the repercussions of a mortal armed with that power would be apocalyptic.
Galbados Cid’s warning came to be known as the Prophecy of the Seals.

The End of Weed (2018)
Set amidst the rugged mountains of Northern California, The End of Weed, is a short homage to a passing California way of life, that of the independent dope grower. Fires, heavy rains, and endless physical toil fill the days of the small batch grower over the agrarian year in which filmmaker and farmer document his crop.
This is a film about marijuana as a once-powerful engine of iconoclastic, land-based homesteading in an era in which it is increasingly a slickly-marketed, corporate investment opportunity with a panoply of carnival-barker marketing claims. As such it is as much a meditation on the beauty of life in the mountains, in the garden, and on the edges of society and economy. A view from the garden rather than a detached story about it.

Embracing the innovative technology of the Go-Pro camera, this personal video diary takes us on a corporeal journey in parenting via a small HD camera mounted on the filmmaker and her toddler over a year and a half period. Early mobility, language acquisition and increasing child independence provide an intimate perspective of the mother–child relationship, intentionally blurring where the mother ends and the child begins.
• Selection of the national, 12-city, microcinema tour, “Mothering Every Day” (March – Sept 2018)
What Happened to Her (2016)
WHAT HAPPENED TO HER is a forensic exploration of our cultural obsession with images of the dead woman on screen. Interspersing found footage from police procedural films and television shows and one actor’s experience of playing the part of a corpse, the film offers a meditative critique on the trope of the dead female body.
The visual narrative of the genre, one reinforced through its intense and pervasive repetition, is revealed as a highly structured pageant. Concurrently, the experience of physical invasion and exploitation voiced by the actor pierce the fabric of the screened fantasy. The result is recurring and magnetic film cliche laid bare.

It is a week or so since I finished the Night Brother by Rosie Garland. It was the most sumptuous and interesting book.
Edie doesn’t understand why she is so tired each morning, or why her feet are so dirty when she wakes up. Her mother becomes increasingly hostile towards her, and Edie doesn’t know why.
Gnome is growing up into a mischievous young man. He wants to establish himself as a big shot in town. Sometimes he remembers the nights that he and Edie used to run away on adventures to see the fireworks.
In a story that explores sibling rivalry and subversive sexuality, set in late nineteenth century Manchester, magic, empathy and brutality weave together to form a rich, passionate story of gender equality.

The Life Of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin
Published 20 January 2014
January 21 is the 90th anniversary of the death of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, the founder of the Bolshevik party and the Soviet state. Here is a look at the life of one of the most influential political figures of the 20th century.
Vladimir Lenin in his office in the Kremlin in October 1918, roughly one year after the Bolshevik Revolution that brought him to power and set off years of civil war.
Lenin was born Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov in Simbirsk (now Ulyanovsk) on April 22, 1870. In this photo from 1879, he poses with his family (front row, right).
A prison photograph shows Lenin in 1895 during his arrest for revolutionary activities. On the right, the prison in St. Petersburg where Lenin was held from December 1895 until February 1897
Photographs from 1897 show Lenin and Nadezhda Krupskaya, whom he married in 1898 while both were in exile in Siberia. After his three years in exile, Lenin left Russia for Western Europe, where he would spend the next decade and a half.
Lenin, left, plays chess with writer and fellow revolutionary Aleksander Bogdanov at Maxim Gorky's residence in Capri in 1908. While living in Western Europe, Lenin became a prominent figure in the international revolutionary movement.
Lenin with a group of Russian political émigrés in Stockholm, Sweden, on April 13, 1917, shortly before his return to Russia
At the Tavrichesky Palace in St. Petersburg, Lenin delivers one of his April Theses calling for a socialist revolution in April 1917.
Lenin appears in disguise -- clean-shaven and wearing a wig -- for a factory worker's identity card, where his name is given as K. Ivanov. The forged card helped him flee to Finland after the Russian Provisional Government launched criminal proceedings against him in 1917.
A demonstration in Moscow in the period before the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917
Lenin at the presidium of the first congress of the Comintern, the international communist organization initiated in Moscow in March 1919.
Lenin observes a May 1, 1919 parade of Vsevobuch [Universal Military Training] units on Moscow's Red Square.
The Rolls-Royce used by Lenin in 1921-1922
Fanny Yefimovna Kaplan was a Russian political revolutionary who attempted to assassinate Lenin on August 30, 1918. Kaplan shot the leader twice with a pistol as he left a Moscow factory after delivering an address. Lenin survived, but his health was severely compromised.
In 1922, Lenin suffered a stroke that further impaired his health. He died on January 21, 1924.
Columns of workers line up to pay their respects in Moscow on January 23.
Lenin's funeral on Moscow's Red Square on January 27, 1924
Lenin's funeral on Red Square
Lenin's remains were placed in this mausoleum at the Kremlin wall.
Lenin's mausoleum was altered to also house the remains of Soviet leader Josef Stalin after his death in 1953. Stalin's body was removed from the mausoleum in 1961.


TL; DR: Sequential computers and object oriented programming are dead (how surprising). This book covers parallel and sequential algorithms using a functional approach.
The book "Algorithms: Parallel and Sequential" is a new book on algorithms that is inspired by recent advances taking place on the hardware and software front. On the hardware front, parallelism has become mainstream and nearly every computing device today including phones, laptops, and servers, has multiple processors or cores, making parallel algorithms essential. On the software front, programming languages have become more functional, probably because functional programming is safer and more expressive. The book therefore covers sequential and parallel algorithms together and uses a functional approach.
The draft for the book is available here.


What happens when a city’s past comes to life in the present? In this unique collaboration between ALOUD, KPCC/LAist, and the Los Angeles Public Library— curated by scholar Josh Kun — we make sense of LA’s history by sourcing archival material from the Los Angeles Public Library to inspire new artistic interpretations, reflections, and conversations. Merging live performance with lively discussions, Evoke LA puts contemporary LA artists in conversation with leading historians and journalists. We will delve into the stacks and experience the city anew, inspired by the legacy that's come before.
From the archive to the stage, welcome to Evoke LA.
A photograph taken in 1986 of a mother and daughter walking down 7th St. is the inspiration for this conversation. Honduran-American, L.A. raised musician and composer Empress Of (Lorely Rodriguez) and Pitzer College professor Suyapa Portillo Villeda sit down with KPCC/LAist Immigrant Communities Reporter Leslie Berestein Rojas and series curator Josh Kun to talk about the history of Honduran immigration to Los Angeles and the influence of Honduran women in the city’s history.
Empress Of performs a song the photo called to mind, one written and originally performed by her father; she also performs her own original song “Woman is a Word.” Professor Portillo Villeda provides context on Central American life, politics, and struggle in Los Angeles, and shares personal experiences evoked by the photograph.

The sheet music for “Lord, Don’t Move That Mountain,” written and published by pioneering L.A. based African-American gospel music composer and publisher Doris Akers with gospel legend Mahalia Jackson, serves as the connection point for this conversation.
Singer Maiya Sykes reinterprets and reflects on the composition in a special performance. Historian Tyree Boyd-Pates joins Maiya, curator Josh Kun, and KPCC/LAist host Austin Cross for a discussion on the evolution of gospel music across the history of Black Los Angeles.
Hear the episode on 89.3 KPCC on Thursday, March 3 at 9:00 p.m. and Sunday, March 6 at 9:00 p.m.
In 1969, legendary L.A. restaurant La Fonda pioneered the concept of mariachi dinner theater, pairing an evening show by venerable L.A. ensemble Mariachi Los Camperos de Nati Cano with the restaurant’s Mexican and Mexican-American dishes. For this episode, a 1980s menu from the restaurant was given to Mariachi Arcoiris de Los Angeles, L.A.’s path-breaking queer and transgender mariachi, led by director Carlos Samaniego (he/him). He imagines a concept for his own dinner theater, one shaped by the music and story of Mariachi Arcoiris.
Joining the conversation are acclaimed historian Natalia Molina, who has just finished a book on her family’s former Echo Park restaurant the Nayarit. Along with host Erick Galindo and series curator Josh Kun, the group gets into the intersection of food and entertainment and what restaurants tell us about histories of community-making in Los Angeles. They share personal stories of meals and music enjoyed at La Fonda and how those experiences were formative to their paths. Mariachi Arcoiris perform a mariachi classic and one of their own compositions, an anthem for a new generation of mariachis.

THE JUDICIAL WAR ON MEN: In the Kavanagh era this book about false accusations is timely.
THE JUDICIAL WAR ON MEN -- PROFESSIONAL EDITION: This expanded version is for judges, law school professors and students, attorneys, academics, and judicial trainers--or anyone who wants a deeper understanding of the issues raised in the general audience version (above).
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS BOOK:
"This happened to my son, who suffered for four years. He lost his income and property. He was put in jail. Only after a volunteer attorney took the case and put the accuser on the stand did her accusations come apart. The judge said, on the record, she was evasive, that she was not "willing to exchange truthful information", and that no reasonable person would conclude her story was credible. What was done to my son was evil. Every mother should read this book." Margaret Cox-Enders
"Truth is fragile and can be easily distorted -- and even suppressed. Dr. Nelson has demonstrated how this has happened in America through the actions of feminists who have targeted traditional values in general and men in particular. His book is a cautionary tale about a problem that can no longer be ignored." Charles P. McDowell, Ph.D., Supervisory Special Agent (Ret.), U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations
"As a family law attorney, I've seen horrific examples of the exact systemic abuse that Dr. Nelson warns about in his outstanding work. This is a very important wake-up call." Marc E. Angelucci, J.D., Attorney at Law
"Thanks to feminist policies and the feminist training of judges, police officers, social workers, and university officials, no man is safe from a false accusation of domestic abuse or sexual assault. This book offers the horrifying proof, and explains how we can step back from the abyss. Every law school student and professor should read this book." Janice Fiamengo, Ph.D., Author and Professor
"Professionals must take notice of this excellent work which dispels many stereotypes and myths about boys and men." John Davis, J.D., Author & former federal and state prosecutor

John Makransky, Boston College Dept. of Theology Association of Practical Theology Meeting at AAR 2007
Panel: “Pedagogies in Practical Theology: Inter-religious Perspectives on Teaching Spiritual Practices.”
Abstract: This essay discusses Buddhist meditations of love, compassion and wisdom that have been adapted from Tibetan tradition so as to make them newly accessible to Westerners. The meditations are adapted both to inform contemporary Buddhist practice and to enable people of other faiths to explore Buddhist modes of awareness for light on their own lives. The fundamental perspective that informs these meditations, from Tibetan Nyingma tradition, is that all people possesses tremendous innate capacities of love, compassion and wisdom that are severely restricted by long conditioned habits of self-centered thought and feeling. Meditation practices are intended both to interrupt self-centered modes of conditioned thought and to evoke the underlying human capacity to be more fully present to others in spontaneous loving communion.

Daisy Phillips is tired of being treated like an old lady. Sure, there was that incident with the lawn mower and the mud. And the one where she was stranded at the top of her own ladder.
But that doesn’t make her incapable of living on her own, as her son Dennis seems to think. Now Dennis is pushing her to sell the family home in Liverpool and move into a retirement community. To make matters worse, her best friend is going away for the summer and the new boss at the library politely informed her that her services as a volunteer are no longer needed. Is it any wonder that Daisy is feeling distressed?
But the unflappable Daisy won’t go down without a fight. What she needs is an adventure. A long-forgotten watch found in her basement provides the perfect start. It belonged to her first love, an American soldier stationed in England during World War II. With a decades-old Brooklyn address as her only clue, Daisy embarks on a trip to New York City with plans to track him down and return the valuable keepsake, and maybe also while she’s at it, managing a peek at the life she might have had.
