No Barber Left Behind (NBLB) was created to fill the void for barbers who want to do more than just cut hair. Cutting hair is what got us started, but there is so much more to the barbering business than just giving a crispy shapeup, a fresh design, or a nice haircut. Either you already have the barbering part down packed or you are on your way, but are you business savvy? Most of us don't have much or any college experience, so NBLB will be a Barbering 101 course, like a Barbering Business for Dummies book, to help us make the most out of this billion-dollar beauty industry. Most things in the beauty industry are stylist or cosmetology influenced, not NBLB. Even though a lot of the business knowledge can be used by stylists, this book is intended to ensure that no barber gets left behind. NBLB was designed to answer the most common questions all new barbers have when it comes to getting started. Like how to advertise, how to build and maintain a healthy clientele, and how to make money from behind the chair. NBLB was also designed for the veteran barber who could use knowledge on business management and incorporating your business. This book can be used as the barbers bible; it will cover all aspects of the barber business, so take notes, pay attention, and enjoy.

This book traces the development of paid work for visually impaired people in the UK from the 18th century to the present day. It gives a voice to visually impaired people to talk about their working lives and documents the history of employment from their experience, an approach which is severely lacking in the current literature about visual impairment and employment. By analysing fifty in-depth face-to-face interviews with visually impaired people talking about their working lives (featuring those who have worked in traditional jobs such as telephony, physiotherapy and piano tuning, to those who have pursued more unusual occupations and professions), and grouping them according to occupation and framed by documentary, historical research, these stories can be situated in their broader political, economic, ideological and cultural contexts. The themes that emerge will help to inform present day policy and practice within a context of high unemployment amongst visually impaired people of working age. It is part of a growing literature which gives voice to disabled people about their own lives and which adds to the growing academic discipline of disability studies and the empowerment of disabled people.

This study explores the evolution of the text and music of this inexhaustible yet highly controversial music drama across Wagner's entire career, and offers a reassessment of the ideological and political history of 'Parsifal' that illuminates the connection of Wagner's legacy to the rise of National Socialism in Germany. The compositional genesis is traced through many unfamiliar sketches and manuscript sources held at Bayreuth, revealing unsuspected models and veiled connections to Wagner's earlier works.

A reply to, and an assault on, Murray Bookchin's essay "Social Anarchism Or Lifestyle Anarchism", Bookchin himself, Bookchinism, and so called "anarcho-leftism". A brilliant, incisive - and often humoristic - essay, by one of the most prominent contemporary anarchist writter.

A clear and concise introduction to the political philosophy of Alain Badiou, centred in a political context.

If you’re an experienced programmer interested in crunching data, this book will get you started with machine learning—a toolkit of algorithms that enables computers to train themselves to automate useful tasks. Authors Drew Conway and John Myles White help you understand machine learning and statistics tools through a series of hands-on case studies, instead of a traditional math-heavy presentation. Each chapter focuses on a specific problem in machine learning, such as classification, prediction, optimization, and recommendation. Using the R programming language, you’ll learn how to analyze sample datasets and write simple machine learning algorithms. Machine Learning for Hackers is ideal for programmers from any background, including business, government, and academic research. Develop a naïve Bayesian classifier to determine if an email is spam, based only on its text Use linear regression to predict the number of page views for the top 1,000 websites Learn optimization techniques by attempting to break a simple letter cipher Compare and contrast U.S. Senators statistically, based on their voting records Build a “whom to follow” recommendation system from Twitter data
