![]() Why are we fostering an environment that destroys people like this. Please do not misunderstand, "The Godfather" has inspired millions of criminals, hell probably not as many as "Mein Kampf", but my gripe is not with the author, my gripe is with America. After finishing it, even with Cary Hite's briliant performance, this is not a thing that I could get behind. This book inspired the likes of Ice Cube and Ice Tee, Dave Chappelle referenced it brilliantly in latest stand up, so I was very interested to see why. I'm blown away at how someone could read this story and say "Yeah, this could be me." I worry about consciousness of my people that we would lift up this lifestyle. This tale, not only highlights many of the problems within the black community (addiction, drugs, petty grievances, white oppression, implied lack of parental figures), but it may glorify a lifestyle that is responsible for a lot of pain, personal pain according to this memoir. bothers me that this book has become a lifestyle guide for so many black celebrities. I really thought he was going to kill that guy The moment he saw his Mom's suitors from back in the day. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? Have you listened to any of Cary Hite’s other performances before? How does this one compare? If you could sum up Pimp in three words, what would they be?Ĭandy was my favorite character dumb, pretty, got OUT the game. Highly recommend this book to anyone looking to expand their horizons. If you get lost, bear with it, there is a glossary at the end. ![]() Also, if you need a guidebook on 20th century slang, this is the ultimate codex. Ice-T said that "'Pimp' was the first real black experience put into a book," and given the fact that the story takes place before rap, before hip-hop, before the crack epidemic, and before even the civil rights movement, it is an astonishing look at what the urban black experience was like in the first half of the 20th Century. Introduced by the author as a cautionary tale, it reads more as a guidebook to the aspiring pimp, player, or even just a cagey entrepreneur trying to survive in a cutthroat environment. It is brilliantly written, the author was a true talent. Start to finish, I probably completed the book in three days (which is fast for me, given it's 11 hours). It is brutal, unflinchingly honest, funny, terrifying, stylized, concise, oppressive, and one of the most riveting books I have ever read. Pimp: The Story of My Life is the true memoir of a pimp in the 1930s and 1940s. The combination of narration and writing here is about as perfect as one could ask for. Though it is a tale of his times, it will remain current and true for as long as there is a race bias, as long as there is a street life, as long as there is exploitation. This is the heyday of the pimp, the hard-won pride and glory, small though it may be the beginnings of pimp before it was dragged in front of the camera, before pimp juice and pimp style. ![]() If you thought Hustle & Flow was the true pimp story, this book is where it all began. Only Slim could tell this story and make the reader feel it. By telling the story of one man’s struggles and triumphs in an underground world, Pimp shows us the game doesn’t change it just has a different swagger. It is a trip through hell by the one man who lived to tell the tale-the dangers of jail, addiction, and death that are still all too familiar for today’s Black community. As real as you can get without jumping in, this is the story of Iceberg Slim’s life as he saw, felt, tasted, and smelled it. What Sun Tzu’s Art of War was to ancient China, Pimp is to the streets. Though it is a tale of his times, it will remain current and true for as long as there is a race bias, as long as there is a street life, as long as there is exploitation.A blueprint.

If the data needed was on different worksheets they would be referenced by referring to the worksheet, for example =SUM(Sheet2.B12+Sheet3.A11). These cell references allow formulas to use data from anywhere in the worksheet being worked on or from any other worksheet in the workbook that is opened. Other ways of entering formulas are shown in Table 1. The plus sign indicates that the contents of cells B3 and B4 are to be added together and then have the result in the cell holding the formula. Note that the formula was shown as =B3 + B4. In this case, cells B3 and B4 were the data holders with B5 the cell where the calculation was performed.

In the 19th century, a hospital in Florida used ice to cool hospital rooms and many a home chemist has used ice to cool himself on a hot day. The ice cooling system is intriguing and energy efficient, but it's not entirely original. The system also has less potential for breakdown compared to more traditional systems. By volume, it has up to triple the energy-holding capacity of water. Ice makes a convenient and efficient medium for the job. The ice system essentially acts like an ultra-efficient battery, storing energy that's gathered cheaply at night and releasing it during the day. The ice-block system can also be combined with traditional air conditioning, which is the case in Credit Suisse's New York office. At the end of the day, the 51,200 gallons of water - spread across three rooms in 64 tanks - is ready to be frozen again. In Credit Suisse's system, the ice forms overnight, and as it melts during the day, fans blow cold air into the cooling system and throughout the building. The larger the difference between nighttime and daytime temperatures is, the greater the energy savings. The system works by making ice at night, when lower power usage means energy is cheaper and lower temperatures mean less power is required to freeze water. The system is not only more environmentally friendly but also saves big companies like Goldman Sachs, which put an ice cooling system in its new flagship office, millions of dollars in utility bills. ![]() An estimated 3,000 facilities around the world use ice-based cooling systems. Credit Suisse is considering expanding the system beyond its 1.9-million-square-foot Manhattan office to its other locations around the world, but they won't be alone. Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse now use massive ice blocks instead of traditional air-conditioning systems in some of their offices. Air conditioning with ice blocks is taking root among some of the world's most powerful companies.Ī novel method of air conditioning is taking root among some of the world's most powerful corporations, and it uses the simple power of ice. ![]() The download links above will attempt to download GIMP Updated Cairo to fix a memory leak ( issue #9278) Please refer to the documentation for your Unix-like system on the installation of software.
