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.
How do we become universal leaders? What can we do to foster a healthy cross-cultural civil society which moves towards accepting ?otherness How can the Arab intellectual new context feed our consciousness with awareness and confidence? How can we develop in multicultural workplace, in society, and in our personal lives? Charisma Code treats these subjects thoughtfully, offering a vision of leadership and knowledge which formal schooling does not impart to us, and which parents have not articulated. But this isn't simply a passive guide: in Charisma Code, dialogues, quizzes, and reflective questions give you the chance to really grapple with important ideas about personal, civil, and career development. Each chapter introduces a selection of suggested movies to accompany the ideas it presents. The path to development is through soft and daily practical philosophical knowledge and intelligent effort. Charisma Code sets out a series of ideas and exercises which can make this possible for every reader.

Oneness for the ChurchesThree years before Greg was born, his father had a vision foretelling his birth, but he never knew why he was born until now. After a series of prophetic visions, from 2016 to 2018, he came to discover a pattern that transcends all the divisions of the Christian Church, and he came upon a message of oneness for the Churches, and to do this, a spiritual Iron Dome, for 'spiritual Israel', is to be set up, and this dome is built with love in a shield of faith.In The Charisma Code: The Spirit-Filled Iron Dome, Greg Badalian shares the following: - The History of Azusa and the Divisions that Came After- The Early Church's Debates on the Divinity of Christ- God's Majestic Plan for Christian Television- The Spiritual Iron Dome to Heal the Body of ChristIn telling of his own personal experiences with the Charismatic Church, and how the divisions within it created divisions within his own soul, he also offers the solution, that in healing his own soul, the antibodies of healing are available to all.
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?
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.

What if charisma could be taught? The charisma myth is the idea that charisma is a fundamental, inborn quality—you either have it (Bill Clinton, Steve Jobs, Oprah) or you don’t. But that’s simply not true, as Olivia Fox Cabane reveals. Charismatic behaviors can be learned and perfected by anyone. Drawing on techniques she originally developed for Harvard and MIT, Cabane breaks charisma down into its components. Becoming more charismatic doesn’t mean transforming your fundamental personality. It’s about adopting a series of specific practices that fit in with the personality you already have. The Charisma Myth shows you how to become more influential, more persuasive, and more inspiring.
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.
