Lucifer's Sketchbook is the five-decade-long autobiography of Jennifer Svensen, a troubled child who turns into an angry teenager, provocative and controversial supermodel, and glamorous fashion house owner and designer. She battles lost love, guilt, and remorse due to a regretful past, as she struggles to navigate her life onto safer paths. Jennifer was born in Norway in 1966 to an acclaimed international supermodel and a mediocre musician. The result of a one night stand, her parents tie the knot in an attempt to save face, but soon discover that family and the local media are unforgiving. They escape to America. Raised in Beverly Hills by jet-setter parents and deprived of parental love and attention, Jennifer is angry at the world. This strikingly beautiful, reckless soul is in constant search for love and adrenaline intoxication. Smart and constantly battling an aching conscience, she keeps trying to win the man she loves by hurting herself and everyone around her. This provocative novel explores young love taken to a new level. It offers a glimpse into the American fashion scene that few will ever experience except through the pages of the tabloids. Dr. Ofer Mazar is a career diplomat. He served as Israel's consul to Thailand, Norway, and Italy, and currently serves at the Consulate General of Israel in Los Angeles. He lives with his family in Beverly Hills. This is his third novel published in the U.S. His other two are Fate's Open Arms and Fate's Perfect Justice.

Fate's Perfect Justice

By: Ofer Mazar

The story I am about to unfold, my dear reader, is a journey into my chaotic soul..."An intense and moving love story, which describes a forty-year voyage into the soul of a troubled, delicate, breathtaking beauty-a phenomenally intelligent woman who was struck by an excruciating obsession in the form of her high school sweetheart, a talented athlete and musician named Roy, who was banished at a crucial moment from her life by her protective father. "I woke up to a new reality... my life would never be the same again...."As Lisa becomes sober, still devastated by the loss of the love of her life, she takes a new name, creates an alter ego, and enters law school. Battling life, pursuing a career as a successful criminal lawyer, marrying a man she does not love, raising a child born for all the wrong reasons, Lisa keeps the memory of Roy in her heart, dreaming of the day they'll reunite. The years pass and her obsession becomes pathetic even to her; yet she clings to it vehemently.

Radiocarbon Dating

An Archaeological Perspective

By: R.E. Taylor,Ofer Bar-Yosef

This volume is a major revision and expansion of Taylor’s seminal book Radiocarbon Dating: An Archaeological Perspective. It covers the major advances and accomplishments of the 14C method in archaeology and analyzes factors that affect the accuracy and precision of 14C-based age estimates. In addition to reviewing the basic principles of the method, it examines 14C dating anomalies and means to resolve them, and considers the critical application of 14C data as a dating isotope with special emphasis on issues in Old and New World archaeology and late Quaternary paleoanthropology. This volume, again a benchmark for 14C dating, critically reflects on the method and data that underpins, in so many cases, the validity of the chronologies used to understand the prehistoric archaeological record.

The Stigma Trap

College-Educated, Experienced, and Long-Term Unemployed

By: Ofer Sharone

After receiving a PhD in mathematics from MIT, Larry spent three decades working in the tech industry, most recently in the area of speech recognition. And today, in his late-fifties and after a prolonged bout of unemployment, Larry is a cashier at a department store, earning just above the minimum wage. Are you wondering how, with a degree from MIT and all that experience, Larry couldn't find a job-any job-in tech?"--

Practical Data Science with Hadoop and Spark

Designing and Building Effective Analytics at Scale

By: Ofer Mendelevitch,Casey Stella,Douglas Eadline

The Complete Guide to Data Science with Hadoop—For Technical Professionals, Businesspeople, and Students Demand is soaring for professionals who can solve real data science problems with Hadoop and Spark. Practical Data Science with Hadoop® and Spark is your complete guide to doing just that. Drawing on immense experience with Hadoop and big data, three leading experts bring together everything you need: high-level concepts, deep-dive techniques, real-world use cases, practical applications, and hands-on tutorials. The authors introduce the essentials of data science and the modern Hadoop ecosystem, explaining how Hadoop and Spark have evolved into an effective platform for solving data science problems at scale. In addition to comprehensive application coverage, the authors also provide useful guidance on the important steps of data ingestion, data munging, and visualization. Once the groundwork is in place, the authors focus on specific applications, including machine learning, predictive modeling for sentiment analysis, clustering for document analysis, anomaly detection, and natural language processing (NLP). This guide provides a strong technical foundation for those who want to do practical data science, and also presents business-driven guidance on how to apply Hadoop and Spark to optimize ROI of data science initiatives. Learn What data science is, how it has evolved, and how to plan a data science career How data volume, variety, and velocity shape data science use cases Hadoop and its ecosystem, including HDFS, MapReduce, YARN, and Spark Data importation with Hive and Spark Data quality, preprocessing, preparation, and modeling Visualization: surfacing insights from huge data sets Machine learning: classification, regression, clustering, and anomaly detection Algorithms and Hadoop tools for predictive modeling Cluster analysis and similarity functions Large-scale anomaly detection NLP: applying data science to human language
