This is possibly a true and possibly a not-true story of a young boy with a younger brother who worshipped him. The older brother was given what seemed to be a magical Red Hat, which in many ways is the essence of this story. Was the hat magical? Can it be that the things the Red Hat could do are explainable in the natural world? You make the call. This story is written as if it is true but only parts are true. The other parts may also be true if you believe in magic. This book takes the young reader along with the older reader on a journey that is orchestrated by a magical Red Hat that has as much good Karma as the best of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, Sikhism. And Taoism. Even if you do not believe in Karma you will love this story. It's like as if Santa is running around disguised as a Red Hat, whose mission it is to help every child be a better child and a good swimmer to boot. Not all stories - even stories including Karma and Santa end well. This incredible story will not disappoint any reader once you learn about this family and their wonderful neighbor and a Red Hat that if given the chance would be willing to save the entire planet. The ending is outstanding. Even if you do not believe that this story might be true, it still makes a great story for any time of the year, including Christmas, The Fourth of July or a special birthday. Since for some it may seem true, and that makes it even more special-especially for me. My family is highlighted in this fine uplifting story. Thank you for reading it. Enjoy Have a great and magical day. Try to keep your two feet on the ground

This is the story of how IBM helped today's technology millionaires and billionaires gain vast fortunes. This edition of the book is as current as the second edition. However, It has less pages because a section not in the original was added to the second edition. This edition is your best bet to learn the essence of the book without a lot more reading and a lot more expense. IBM is the oldest commercial computer company in the world. Its roots spring from the merger of The International Time Recording Company Computing Scale Company, and the Tabulating Machine Company in the 19th century. The merged company became known as International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) in 1924. IBM has coined many terms such as word processing, teleprocessing, and eBusiness over its 100 years of operation. The company has also done the background work for many computer sub-industries, such as disk, tape, data communications, personal computer, relational database, RISC processing, microchips, mainframes, and of course the IBM PC & others. IBM continues to be the leader in mainframe computers though at one time it dominated all areas of computing. Over the years, IBM's concentration on mainframes permitted billionaires to be created in sub- industries, in which IBM unwittingly chose not to compete. For example, Bill Gates, who supplied software for IBM's 1981 PC is now the richest man in the world. IBM could have been a much more successful company if it had paid attention to its many different businesses. Since IBM did not pay attention, there are tens of thousands of extra millionaires & billionaires in the computer field, who one day should stop and thank IBM for their success. That's what this book is about Just say: Thank You IBM

All IBM i Lab objects are included in the downloadable material standard with this book package. The Labs are well done and well documented and they are built so that you can complete them successfully by visualizing the solution. Since nobody likes to key programs from scratch, the lab exercises are already typed with enough important material redacted to provide painless learning. You learn programming rather than typing. The capstone lab is almost 500 statements of RPGIV learning. By the time you finish the last lab, you will not be a better typist but you will have learned RPG / RPGIV.

Donald Trump in simple terms has netted out the student debt crisis from a student and parent perspectives: "They go, and they work, and they take loans, and they're borrowed up, and they can't breathe, and they get through college and the worst thing is, they go through that whole process and they don't have any job." Trump has it right on and worse than that. They lose hope. Trump really cares and he took the time recently to excoriate the Obama Administration and government for making it worse by making money on the student loan program: "You know the one program that the U. S. makes a whole lot of money with is student loans, and that's maybe the one program they shouldn't be making money with... "So we're going to have to start a program," he said. "We're going to do something very big with loans because you have to get these people going. They really feel down and out." Donald J. Trump feels the pain and is going to solve the problem by refinancing, extending, better payment plans, getting universities to take some skin in the matter, and a number of other clever ways. He will address both the massive $1.3 Trillion student debt already on the books and he will work to assure that students have a chance of success and a job when they take out a college loan. It's about time. This book tells you how he plans to do it.

Wilkes-Barre PA has been a dying city. It is time we who live here pick ourselves up by the bootstraps and begin our return to gloryIn the middle of the last century, Wilkes-Barre's population was approaching 90,000. Today it is 43,000. This did not happen overnight. Over the years, many of the city's kind benefactors, such as the Kirby family, helped keep the city vibrant. Whenever it needed a boost, they were there to rejuvenate. Having had half the population move out of town, Wilkes-Barre no longer could count on a local family to be there at the right time with the right answer. Wilkes-Barre saw its population declining with the mines no longer sustaining the city. We noticed stores, even the best of the best shutting down or moving out from necessity. We all noticed that other businesses that once provided hundreds of jobs not being able to continue. . Mark Twain once said that "The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated." Wilkes-Barre officials and residents over the years have heard the death knell for the city and instead of contesting it fiercely, allowed it to happen. Like Twain, our demise has been greatly exaggerated. Those times are in the past. Wilkes-Barre can and must find its way out of the mire and return to glory. May good leadership help Wilkes-Barre find a way to reclaim its future. Those with grew up in this City, as well as those who love our Diamond City, will enjoy this book. Few books are a must-read but Brian Kelly's Wilkes-Barre, PA: Return to Glory will melt your heart as your author recounts some great stories from the past and points out how to stop the decline and move this city back to Glory. This book needs to be at the top of your reading list, especially for those who have lived or now live in Wilkes-Barre.

This book is about a dream. In the dream I came to know that this dream can come true. It was a dream about described to me what IBM needs to do to become # 1 again in the Information Technology Industry. And, so I was compelled to write this book: I Had a Dream that IBM Could Be # 1 AgainI had a dream. I am not kidding. It was less than a week ago after I had prepared my newest book, Thank You IBM for sale on Kindle. IBM was on my mind for some reason. With 23 years of employment at IBM, I have a lot of recollections of Big Blue that come back to me too often when I am sleeping. This was a nice IBM dream. It had an impact on me. I think IBM can do it. In this new dream after 23 years of IBM, I was thinking about how special it was to be part of IBM over the years. To be favored with a job with IBM was impressive unto itself. I dreamt that IBM could be #1 again and it start by making its employees feel like I felt while working for this great company during the Watson years. Besides a profound change in management philosophies which I will explain. IBM needs a secret weapon to become #1 again. The good news is IBM has that weapon and it would not take much to deploy it. This books tells what the weapon is; where it came from; why this weapon is so great; and how IBM can use it to definitely become #1 again.
