The Falashas: A Short History of the Ethiopian Jews, by David F. Kessler

This third, revised edition comprises the whole of the original volume and is enhanced by the addition of a new preface and afterward which seek to reply to criticisms of the authors argument about the origins of the Falashas, and include some new thinking on the subject. Drawing on tradition and legend to reinforce his argument, the author again traces the source of the community to the Jewish settlements which existed in ancient Egypt (particularly at Elephantine on the Nile) and in the ancient Meroitic Kingdom, in present day Sudan known in the Bible as Cush.

The story told in this book is remarkable, heroic and stimulating and makes a valuable contribution to our understanding of the history of the horn of Africa.

The Truth Is Written "In The Stone"
By J. L. johnson
Being of Ethiopian "Falasha" descent, and learning through research of our ancient heritage and culture has led me to so many different burdening truths but at the same time much positive wonder as well. It is my layman opinion that the author gave his best effort in dissecting Falasha's modern history but there is still a strong influence of european agenda based on the millennial racial advantages of our caucasian brethren of east and western origin. Clearly institutionalized programmed influences of european ego for the concept of being the "center of civilization" is at play here. I don't believe it was with intent, it's just the way we've all been educated and subliminally directed to only see white with a narrow view especially concerning Judaism and its additional book of hebraic ecclesial law extensions, the "Talmud". I also found the book "The Hyena People", author Hagar Salamon's expression's to be very similar. They call us jews on paper in an attempt to link us but in reality we are very few and don't exist in their modern Jewish world. Ms Salamon's book was somewhat more patronizing and exploitive but very informative at the same time. I give thanks and honor to the few righteous Ashkenazi and Sephardic brethren, past and present, whom dedicated their life to a hands-on research of our people and their sincere efforts to record and inform of our history and plight, though from a european perspective.

Why is it such a mystery to scholars of european diaspora as to how and when we got to be what we are? It is very obvious to me based on the misinformation put out by all the so called authorities of the judaic faiths, that if you clear your mental programming and really look at the physical environment of Africa with an unbiased approach in logical chronologic history with relation to archaeology and evolutionary root keys of certain passages and scripture that branch throughout the Torah, Bible, and Qur'an, also with access to a good dictionary, one would begin to observe who the real converts are. There is no mention for a race of people within the first five books of the Torah. Why? Because during that period there was obviously only one race. Darwin's theory of evolution reluctantly opened European minds to this fact on a more scientific note and alternately had to be a real problem for the Papal Order as with all ancient archaeological findings and new scientific discoveries. Environment is the key to what race the people were and that particular environment is not conducive for long term survival of a so called pure caucasian people because of their lack of melanin which is needed for long term survival in such extremely heated conditions. Once you can see it and accept it, everything that is presumed to be a mystery about us and yourselves fall into place. Not just learning about the Falasha but the origin of mankind and future endeavors to be foretold based on present analogies of the simple natural chaotic order of humanity, and in our individual ability to seek clearer knowledge and understanding in how we all are connected like an electrical current guided by the astral cycles of the universe. Maybe then, with respect, one will be able to discover even more wonder in the deeply rich heritage of all people, their gifts, unique abilities, and how we are all linked.

Some may feel this credible alternate perception is very much a threat to individuals who feel that they have some kind of special privilege in the world claiming to be something they're not, which has been more than likely passed down orally by family and community who never practiced or studied hebrew or any other religion and filtered by clerics through text that has been manipulated, misinterpreted, plagiarized, altered, and intentionally cultured by the agenda of the political elite and exaggerated with eurocentric art and images throughout the Mediterranean and european community to further exercise their tailored history for continued influence of power and social control. This purposeful artful deception has been in practice for over a thousand years up until today with the further assistance of Hollywood films and a biased media machine. This machine leave many jews and hebrews themselves to ponder this question "are we a race by blood, religious faith, or both?" These are some of the many deceptions that poke holes and make contradictory doctrine of all the abrahamic faiths, further diluting their true purpose and relegate its messages to a somewhat fairy-tale like comprehension which requires unquestionable faith to fill in the gaps. These guides should be approached with an open mind and ingested with common intellectual logic of practical details in study to which doesn't confine questions that stifle learning and good common sense.

In Ethiopia we where not called "Jews" we were called Hebrews. Jew is a european terminology. So I do not proclaim to be as such. Even the term Beta (Bet) Israel is somewhat ambiguous. Isn't Alpha before Beta? To coin the term Beta before Israel in description of us sublimes the notion we came by conversion from one of the twelve european tribes who I guess assume they all should be the Alpha. I prefer the term Falasha, it is of my heritage, not my religion. Our form of Hebrew worship is the most ancient. The original followers of the hebrew religion, converts, and their slaves began in Ethiopia. Even though the concept our religious faith rubber-banded back and forth it still succeeded in spreading south, east, and north. Leaving seeds in South Africa, West Africa, the Sahara, the Mediterranean, Persia, and as far east as China. Sometimes surviving within small pockets amidst other faiths and beliefs. In an era when the key to last hope survival was to diversify, assimilate, or wander. From those points on they thinned and became further separated by war, environment, economic sustainability, and yes, separated as well by a majority/minority based on racial status, class, certain physical features, and the rituals practiced within their faith. A faith sporadically perverted over time and scattered throughout with wandering groups of diaspora and their converted populations, and for sure there was interracial breeding. Considering the severity of certain threatening situations, such as local none acceptance of our ancestral faith, which relegates the strict balance of influence and economic sustenance of our people in all matters, as they wandered, one could surely assume a natural cyclic propagation of master becoming slave and slave becoming master, as witnessed throughout ancient and modern history.

To the reviewer, who has the audacity to call himself "a great guy", with such harsh words for Falashas: It is the collective attitude of people like yourself that instigate the negative factors of race in your fantasized idea of being superior. Basking in the greed of your ill perceived social advantage in systems of institutionalized bias and pre-programmed hate. As a Falasha, I have no desire to relocate to Israel. Being of African descent and living the experience of the racist American Anglo-Protestant south of the 50s and 60s, I would be a fool to believe that any person, country, or creed of European culture or colonies, would except me for being a Jew. Why should they, because I'm not. Even though I have documented proof of my hebrew lineage, it only matters to me. Some of these same "Jim Crow" mentalities, like yourself, were easily accepted as jew without questions and are certain to be living and stirring malicious commotions in Israel today. So I choose not to keep the company of thieves.

So, Mr "a great guy", don't worry, there are not many of us around. We are not special to no one but our friends and family just like any other people. We respect the heritage of our ancestors though some of their methods and rituals seem antiquated due partly to being isolated in the mountains from the plains of middle Africa for such a long period of time. Falashas mean no harm to no one and there are not enough of us left to be a threat. We may not all agree on certain issues but one thing for sure is that we share strong spiritual energy that link our hearts no matter where we are or where we go. Some Falashas, such as myself, do not want to live in Israel or claim to be "Jew". Israel will never know peace and security in my or my grandchildren's lifetime. It's certainly not a land flourishing with a booming economy. The only opportunities for Falashas in Israel are as a soldier, servant, entertainer, and some sports. Falashas have to agree to be re-programmed to the rituals and dogma of the Orthodox Talmud. In addition, based on an understanding of the current political conditions my long term analysis forecast war, war, and rumors of war. Speak with some of our brothers now living in Dimona, and with some of those who have returned to Ethiopia to hear of their experiences of poor living conditions and systemic isolation from their european brethren. In addition, personally, I do not want land or anything else that does not belong to me, especially based on having to agree and accept such a contradictory and fabled authority of lineage that was one of the catalyst utilized to justify its bloody claim.

The majority of the people who migrated and currently occupy Israel since the 1948 UN mandate are descendants of Western European ancestral colonizers of the Americas, European WWII refugees and their descendants, and later Eastern European political asylum seekers of the former Warsaw Pact community. Some were even welcomed from as far as the apartheid regime of South Africa (Dutch Afrikaners) to exercise their "right to return" and excluded The Lemba Tribe. As documented, the hierarchy of the Ashkenazi/Sephardic Knesset knew we Falashas existed well before 1948 but never invited us to exercise that right. Racism? It's a fair assessment. Maybe Falashas are living proof to the continued archaeological research and evidential findings that gives further prominence in illuminating greater attention to probability of the European (Jew) conversion, which is somewhat of a factual headache for those whom feel authority to say who is a jew and who's not.

Mr "a great guy" please read the book. If you had, maybe you would not have made such a blatantly racist outcry. As with many others of your opinion , it appears to be a personal inability to separate truth from fiction based on illusional foundations of reality and becoming intellectually stifled to comprehend anything deeper than what you see on your TV screen, and those very entertaining whitewashed big production holy glory films of Cecil B. DeMille.

I am a Falasha. I didn't purchase this book to learn where we came from. I purchased this book to get a better understanding and idea of where we're going.

Wow
By Eugene Peysakh
After reading about the Khazars and thinking very little information existed about them and their past, I am amazed at how little is known about 'Ethiopian' Judaism. Mr. Kessler, one of the best sources on the subject, describes to the best of current information the history of the Beta Israel, definitely taking the view that these people are anciently related to Judaism.
His views are controversial -- many have claimed that the source of the Beta Israel was from the Arabian Peninsula, or a break-off from Ethiopian Christianity, although I find the latter hard to believe. I am currently reading other works about them written by Steven Kaplan and other.
Very little is known about the Beta Israel, hopefully much more research will be devoted to understanding them, their past, their history, their customs and their beliefs. I firmly believe that these people are Jews descended, as they believe, from Solomon. Luckily these people are still alive while other groups have unfortunately been relegated to history.
I highly recommend this work and I'm pretty sure most will enjoy it! Thank you David Kessler for all your study and devotion to this topic and to the Beta Israel.

A very good out-of-date book, needing a rewrite
By Denis Vandervelde
The book is fascinating and a generally reliable account of the history, (of which I had some knowledge, as an historian and a visitor to Ethiopia). But it is not just out-of-date, it desperately needs a rewrite.

1. The various prefaces, (31 pages of them), are irritating, and need to be incorporated in the body where important, and relegated to chapter footnotes where they are not.
2. The first 106 pages are really an attempt to make sense of Ethiopian history, and only secondly to trace Falasha history. This is necessary, but would have benefitted from a map of its own, and a time-chart for the general reader. (Very necessary)
3. The remaining 60 pages are the important account, and very commendable. But they finish in 1982, when the situation of more than 90% of the Falashas bore no resemblance to the picture today. For this reason the Postscript and the Afterword are far too brief, and still do not reflect the current state of affairs, where all of the Jewish Falashas, and most of the credible claimants to a Jewish heritage, have settled in Israel.

Although their story is ongoing, this is a moment when we are likely to see a very different saga, with far less transformation. This is the time when a reliable history could be written. There is an obvious analogy with the story of the Jews of eastern Europe or of the Moslem world. One can write a very good history of the Jews of Iraq up to 1967, but not without recording in summary what has happened to the overwhelming majority of the remnant of survivors, now living elsewhere.

A Taste for Brown Sugar: Black Women in Pornography, by Mireille Miller-Young

A Taste for Brown Sugar boldly takes on representations of black women's sexuality in the porn industry. It is based on Mireille Miller-Young's extensive archival research and her interviews with dozens of women who have worked in the adult entertainment industry since the 1980s. The women share their thoughts about desire and eroticism, black women's sexuality and representation, and ambition and the need to make ends meet. Miller-Young documents their interventions into the complicated history of black women's sexuality, looking at individual choices, however small—a costume, a gesture, an improvised line—as small acts of resistance, of what she calls "illicit eroticism." Building on the work of other black feminist theorists, and contributing to the field of sex work studies, she seeks to expand discussion of black women's sexuality to include their eroticism and desires, as well as their participation and representation in the adult entertainment industry. Miller-Young wants the voices of black women sex workers heard, and the decisions they make, albeit often within material and industrial constraints, recognized as their own.

Review
"A Taste for Brown Sugar is a game changer, a courageous and bold book that shifts the discourse on the contested history of race and porn. Mireille Miller-Young's rigorous historical and ethnographic research disrupts the 'good versus bad' binary that has dogged debates about pornography for decades." (E. Patrick Johnson, author of Appropriating Blackness: Performance and the Politics of Authenticity)

"A Taste for Brown Sugar is a thorough and compelling look at a subject steeped in society's anxiety and imagination: black women in pornography. Mireille Miller-Young dives head first into a thorny topic with clear, nuanced thinking. This book tackles complicated issues of race, sex work, feminism, pleasure, and representation in a rigorous, thoughtful way. Finally: scholarship that centers black women's labor and ideas in both academia and the sex industries and gives crucial voice to underrepresented workers and feminist thinkers. Miller-Young's approach is intersectional, engaging, and, above all, accessible to scholars and general readers alike. This book will enrage you, enlighten you, and make you rethink everything you know about race and sex." (Tristan Taormino, author of True Lust: Adventures in Sex, Porn and Perversion)

“This much-needed volume reminds scholars of the need to deepen porn studies and strengthen its interdisciplinary possibilities through various theoretical lenses and critical approaches.  Supporting her book with abundant images, Miller-Young thoughtfully exposes readers to concepts both visually and intellectually. …  A necessary volume for academics as well as those interested in popular culture studies that have a dialogue with race and/or women. Essential. Graduate students/faculty.” (M. Martinez Choice)

“Reading A Taste for Brown Sugar: Black Women in Pornography on a New York subway train will earn you some very interesting looks. Adorned with a cover photo featuring the beautiful porn star Jeannie Pepper topless in a white fur like something out of Superfly, and the customary wall of text that comes with academic books on the back, it brings out New York's best double takes. … A Taste for Brown Sugar offers fine scholarship, done with the utmost respect of the subject and the workers chronicled.” (Sydette Harry make/shift)

"Through meticulous research and a masterly melding of the best of theoretical, conceptual, and empirical work in black women’s sexuality, A Taste for Brown Sugar analyzes African American women’s agency within the adult entertainment industry.... If A Taste for Brown Sugar can produce a solid analysis of such a difficult, controversial topic, Miller-Young has set a high bar for similar projects that study oppositional knowledge." (Patricia Hill Collins The Journal of American History 2015-12-01)

"[E]ssential reading for anyone seeking to understand new work on feminism, critical race studies, pornography, and film history." (Svati P. Shah Women's Review of Books 2015-09-01)

"A Taste for Brown Sugar is a necessary, long overdue text that should interest scholars and students of various fields and backgrounds, particularly those interested in feminist theory, media studies, histories of black women, sex work, and of course porn studies.... The book is impressive, cultivating a rich and diverse tapestry of urgent voices and images, revealing the complicated interplay between labor and representation." (Laura Helen Marks Feminist Media Studies 2016-03-16)

"Everyone interested in understanding the industry and the people, especially the Black women involved, in front of and behind the cameras, should read this book cover to cover.... There is a wide audience for this well-researched and well-produced book.... The general public as well as researchers from film and media studies, history, sexuality studies, African American studies, labor studies, critical race studies, sociology, and anthropology will appreciate A Taste for Brown Sugar." (Sherri L. Barnes Feminist Collections 2015-08-01)

"Miller-Young offers a compelling examination of African American women’s participation in one of the nation’s most understudied industries: the porn business. Filling a void within African American women’s historiography and presenting a more nuanced perspective on women’s work, she situates black female porn laborers within the larger context of 20th-century work. Miller-Young has produced a bold and engaging study that challenges historians of the black female experiences to re-conceptualize ideas about race and gender and labor and black sexualities." (LaShawn Harris Souls 2016-06-01)

"In a field so dominated by the visual, it is Miller-Young’s insistence that we hear, as well as see, black women in porn that makes her book so textured, colorful, brash, and critically engrossing. Divided into six well-written and informative chapters, this ambitious scholarly tour de force offers an ethnographic account of black women’s labor in the porn industry, as well as a historicist cultural appraisal of blackness in pornography from the early twentieth century into our present era." (L. H. Stallings Black Camera 2015-03-01)

"Throughout six chapters of insightful and rigorous thought, Miller-Young traces the evolution of black sex actors as a heavily stereotyped spectacle during the silent era to a more nuanced and contemporary understanding of them as working professionals seeking, and oftentimes finding, autonomy and female sexual empowerment. A Taste for Brown Sugar is a leap forward in feminist thinking and sex work studies, and a crucial read for any student of women's studies." (Laura L. S. Bauer Women's Studies 2015-08-06)

"All those who are interested in porn, African American, film, cultural or queer studies would benefit from reading this multifaceted, nuanced, decidedly non-white interpretation of the porn industry." (Angela Mika Holton Sexuality & Culture 2016-04-18)

"A Taste for Brown Sugar has raised the bar for porn studies." (Whitney Strub Journal of the History of Sexuality 2016-09-01)

"By centering labor, Miller-Young deftly side-steps debates about whether pornography can be feminist and instead shows us that economies of desire are mutable and can be manipulated to find spaces of survival and even pleasure. This perspective is an important addition to black feminist sexuality studies. Audiences interested in American studies, labor history, the history of pornography, black feminism, and sexuality studies should take note of this important book." (Amber Jamilla Musser GLQ 2017-01-31)

value of the worker within the marketplace
By Case Quarter
first, some words on the composition of the paperback volume. a gorgeous book, thick glossy pages, what you would expect to find in an art book or a book of photographs. as an extended text by a scholar, readers will be aware of the glare from lighting on the pages and the care required to work with thick pages.. pound wise, this is a heavy book, weighty as books twice its size.

studies of pornography usually begin with images and representations of women, often grounded in european art forms. mireille miller- young instead chooses to open her study of black women in pornography with the black female body received for the visual and tactile scrutiny, under the gazing eye and probing hand of the slave master. for miller-young this was the first pornographic use of the body of the black woman. the black woman enslaved and used as `sexualized labor' is followed, historically, by the freed black woman who chooses to become an agent within photographic and cinematic pornography. once the black woman has entered the porn industry, the inquiry extends to address her reasons. the black woman in porn was silent until the 1980s, there are no documents of their identities or what happened to them after leaving porn.

the actresses working in porn, beginning with the 1980s, are the women miller-young interviewed, a few of them made careers in porn. their reasons given for entering the porn industry fall under three categories, money, exploration of one's sexual self, and fame. the actresses talked of what they want from the industry and the racist barriers facing them, citing lack of respect for black women as vested workers within the porn industry.

as a side note, the nature of respect is a continuing troubling paradox within the text, clearly stated when the author overhears at an adult video convention denigrating remarks about black erotic dancers spoken by a producer of extreme porn, who only hires white women for his films, films in which women have their heads shoved in toilets and are made to vomit. this is the industry in which actresses are subject to patently sexist remarks. however, discrimination becomes an issue when the remarks become racist. roles in which black actresses portray maids are found equally offensive and stereotypical as roles portraying ghetto whores, while black actresses believe they should not be excluded from race neutral roles such as having their heads showed in toilets if those are the roles they want to perform.

if you're asking wherein lies respect of anyone, actress or producer, white or black, within such an industry, you have to accept miller-young's distinction between `respectability' associated with women not engaged in sex work and other forms of offensive unladylike behavior and `respect' expected within the workplace as a valued worker and economic parity for work done without being penalized by race.

unfortunately, without discussing respect fuller as applicable to content and acts performed, or the meaning and importance of self-respect, or the contexts of respect, miller-young, though as she may have rightfully believed, such a discussion would have expounded on a topic too lengthy for her book, does not render her paradox any less troubling by her explanation.

`When adult films like South Central Hookers and Ghetto Hoes exploit fantasies of black women, they capitalize on historical ideas about dependent black women trading on their sexualities--sexualities that black women do not deserve or have the right to mobilize for their own pleasure and liberation. The symbolic and material impoverishment of black women's value in the sexual marketplace informs these fantasies.

In turn, this impoverished valuation of black sexuality creates the rationale for sexual economic exploitation, thus sustaining a hierarchal system of embodied worth.'

the author's inquiry is less provocative when addressing the gaze. the gaze of the spectator shifts from the male producer and consumer of porn to the black female performer who gazes outside the confines of role, as we first see her in porn clips from the 1930s, the silent performer with a saucy mischievous gaze directed beyond the camera seemingly at the male spectator, and again the 1977 when in the film, SEX WORLD, when desiree west's gaze comes near the end of the film, a look delivered by a black woman who controlled her every situational moment on screen. in recent years, the gaze of the black woman in porn is shown as moving from in front of the camera to behind the camera, as black women become directors.

miller-young uses a phrase which could describe her own method of inquiry, `discursive binary'. what topics she puts forth as her unfolding thesis are paralleled and sometimes only shadowed by perspectives from some other studies and sources. her chapter on the alliances of ghetto porn with rap videos, i recalled recent rapper and video director, 3d na'tee (nee samantha davon james) comments on some of the responses of viewers to her video WHO CAN WE RUN TO? as she wondered why her message on racism delivered in the slurred rapid paced invective filled vocal trope of the rap culture, is lost on her viewers of the video who choose to focus on her nude body as inhabiting erotic space instead of a symbol of vulnerability situated in imagery of racial violence.

mireille miller-young's inquiry shows black women in the porn acting with `erotic sovereignty and agency' using `tactics of illicit eroticism' to negotiate changes in their profession. finally, her inquiry appeals to black feminist activists to consider the porn site as a workplace wherein black women are entitled the rights and respect due all workers, whatever their workplace.

Consumer Credit Models: Pricing, Profit and Portfolios, by Lyn C. Thomas

The use of credit scoring--the quantitative and statistical techniques to assess the credit risks involved in lending to consumers--has been one of the most successful if unsung applications of mathematics in business for the last fifty years. Now with lenders changing their objectives from minimising defaults to maximising profits, the saturation of the consumer credit market allowing borrowers to be more discriminating in their choice of which loans, mortgages and credit cards to use, and the Basel Accord banking regulations raising the profile of credit scoring within banks there are a number of challenges that require new models that use credit scores as inputs and extensions of the ideas in credit scoring. This book reviews the current methodology and measures used in credit scoring and then looks at the models that can be used to address these new challenges.

The first chapter describes what a credit score is and how a scorecard is built which gives credit scores and models how the score is used in the lending decision. The second chapter describes the different ways the quality of a scorecard can be measured and points out how some of these measure the discrimination of the score, some the probability prediction of the score, and some the categorical predictions that are made using the score.

The remaining three chapters address how to use risk and response scoring to model the new problems in consumer lending. Chapter three looks at models that assist in deciding how to vary the loan terms made to different potential borrowers depending on their individual characteristics. Risk based pricing is the most common approach being introduced. Chapter four describes how one can use Markov chains and survival analysis to model the dynamics of a borrower's repayment and ordering behavior. These models allow one to make decisions that maximize the profitability of the borrower to the lender and can be considered as part of a customer relationship management strategy. The last chapter looks at how the new banking regulations in the Basel Accord apply to consumer lending. It develops models that show how they will change the operating decisions used in consumer lending and how their need for stress testing requires the development of new models to assess the credit risk of portfolios of consumer loans rather than a models of the credit risks of individual loans.

Perfect Credit Scoring Book For Learning and Reference
By Limorkil
This book is the kind of book you need when you start in a particular field of business or have been there for a while and need to remind yourself why certain things are done in a certain way. The author starts out with first principles and builds on the basics to cover every application and all the key alternative approaches. This book is not just "This is What We Do", it is also "And Here is Why and How". Everything is explained using examples and case studies.

There are a lot of mathematical symbols decorating many of the pages but none of it is particularly advanced and the non-mathematician can follow it easy enough if she starts at the beginning. If you get lost and forget what f(x) and p(g|x) are meant to be then just look at the example and it is all ridiculously easy to follow when the author puts it in plain English.

The author does a great job of marrying theorems to business sense, so whether you are a statistics god heading one way or a business guru heading the other there is something for you here. The references are also top notch, so if you want more depth on something then the author usually points you to the definitive source. If you are only going to buy one book on the subject then you can do a lot worse than this one.

Quality book
By Dimitri Shvorob
It would have been helpful to survey the alternatives, and while I know that the (very nice) book by Raymond Anderson has a different style and is not a competitor, and the book by Naeem Siddiqi has uninspiring reviews, I cannot access the two books co-authored by Helen McNab. Steven Finlay's book looks solid, but largely "nested" by the combo of "Consumer credit models" and the 2002 book by Thomas, Edelman and Crook - which, I believe, jointly capture the domain knowledge available in book form.

The book's subtitle, "pricing, profit and portfolios", identifies its focus and its difference from, and complementarity to, the 2002 predecessor. Chapters 3-5 are new. Chapter 5 stands a little apart from the rest and discusses all matters Basel, so the book's core is Chapters 3 and 4. The 50-page-long Chapter 3 considers the one-period interest-rate-setting decision (focusing on take-up rate and adverse selection; there is some discussion of non-price incentives, but it is not worked out and quickly skips over conditional logit to talk about something LP). Chapter 4, with 70 pages, goes multi-period, bringing in Markov chains and survival analysis. (Curiously, pages 207-209 show an ostensibly dynamic model that actually has no state dynamics - shockingly, the decision rule turns out to be time-invariant. I group this slip-up with the many typos scattered across the book, and a tiny number of minor statistical misstatements).

The modeling on display may not always be immediately actionable, but it's always illuminating, and Lyn Thomas, in my opinion, is a really positive example of academic engagement with industry. His books, including this one, are the best thing on offer, and a must-see for practitioners in the area.

Our Study Guide for the CQI Test Is Unlike Any Other

If you'd like to get the CQI test score you deserve, to quit worrying about whether your score on the CQI test is "good enough," and to beat the test taking game so you can become a Certified Quality Inspector (CQI), then this might be the most important message you read this year.

Our comprehensive study guide for the CQI test is written by our CQI test experts, who painstakingly researched the topics and the concepts that you need to know to do your best on the CQI test. Our original research into the Certified Quality Inspector (CQI) Exam, offered by the American Society for Quality (ASQ), reveals the specific content areas and the essential skills that are critical for you to know on the CQI test. We've taken the information and developed a study guide that is guaranteed to help you be successful on the CQI test.

Now, we know you may be skeptical, so let us give you three good reasons we can back up what we claim:

The Three Reasons To Believe What We Say

The First Reason:

Our company's name is Mometrix Test Preparation, and we have a team of standardized test researchers who have worked on developing our study guide for the CQI test. The standards for who gets to work on the team are very strict- we demand the best for our customers, and only those who met our exacting standards made the cut. The dedicated research staff have years of combined experience in mastering the content and skills necessary to succeed on the toughest exams.

The Second Reason:

Some academic studies have revealed that test takers do not really benefit from the traditional test preparation process. But we knew there had to be a solution- if test takers were not doing well on the CQI test despite high intelligence, there had to be a set of secret keys to the test that would open the door of success for these test takers.

We believe we have succeeded in finding the secret keys of the exam. What we found was surprising, and in some cases ridiculously simple once explained to the average test taker.

We put the findings together in a thorough, concise study guide that we believe allows any test taker, at any skill level, to improve his or her results dramatically with a minimum of effort.

The Third Reason:

We created the product in part because we were frustrated by the options available to test takers who really wanted to do well on the CQI test.

A common approach is to TEACH the material, instead of TEACHING THE TEST. That's not necessarily good enough for the CQI test- you have to know how to apply the knowledge. Most test takers already have a general knowledge of the material that will be covered on the exam.

One reason some test takers do well on the day of the test is that they have made the critical connection between the material they learned and how to use the material to succeed on the CQI test.

Our guide addresses the difference between merely knowing the material and knowing how to use the material to perform on test day.

  • Do you know what a "hedge phrase" is? Learn why looking for the key "weasel words" in the question can help identify the correct answer
  • Why "new information" in the answer choices almost always means that the answer choice is wrong- and the way to avoid this trick planted by the clever test writers

  • The two situations where you should NOT check your answers thoroughly
  • How to avoid careless mistakes by using the quick "double check" system. It will more than pay for itself relative to the time it will take you
  • Test writers will often quote directly from the question in an answer- learn whether this is something you should trust or avoid
  • Why "extreme statements" in the answer choices are dead giveaways for wrong answers- find out how to detect the subtle differences between reasonable answers and the answers that are almost always wrong
  • Learn how to group your answer choices into "families" that often narrows down the pool of correct answers- this is a quick way to immediately eliminate one or two of the answer choices and increase your odds of getting the question right

Now, you're probably wondering how and why we can do all the things we claim.

I purchased the Secrets file, and I just wanted to let you know that I passed my test. I just want to thank you again, and hope you have continued success in your ventures. Sincerely, Paul L.

My name is Chris. I used the Secrets study guide for five days. The study guide made the test so easy to understand. Like you said this program is worth 100's of dollars. To me 1,000's!! THANKS, Chris G.

I just had to thank you guys for the test prep! I bought the guide as a last minute prep, I mean maybe 5 hours before the test. Like I said, I had ZERO preparation! I was nervous about the test let alone receiving the score I needed. I read the guide through only once before test time and needless to say, the only way I passed was thanks to your refresher!! Brian

I heard about your website from a friend. I am enrolled in a review course, and in hindsight, I wish I wouldn't have taken my review course and instead spent a fraction of the money on your program. Thank you! Zac L.

You get at least 10 times your money's worth! --When you consider what's at stake with the exam, we believe the value of our study guide gives you at least ten times your money's worth.

Jack Cristil: Voice of the MSU Bulldogs, Revised Edition, by Sid Salter

Jack Cristil (1925–2014) was a Southeastern Conference icon and the Voice of Bulldog athletics for more than five decades. In this biography, Cristil’s remarkable life and career is shared with all Bulldog fans. Authored by Mississippi journalist Sid Salter with a foreword by distinguished Mississippi State University alum John Grisham, the book originally sold over 10,000 copies and raised over $170,000 for the Jacob S. “Jack” Cristil Scholarship in Journalism at MSU.

With a fifty-eight-year association with MSU, Cristil was the second-longest tenured college radio play-by-play announcer in the nation at the time of his 2011 retirement. During his legendary career as the Voice of the Bulldogs, Cristil called 636 football games since 1953. That’s roughly 60 percent of all the football games played in school history. He was in his 54th season as the men’s basketball play-by-play voice, having described the action of almost 55 percent of all the men’s basketball games. In all, Cristil shared with Bulldog fans across the Magnolia State and around the world more than 1,500 collegiate contests. Central to Cristil’s inspiring story was his upbringing in Memphis as the son of first-generation Russian-Jewish immigrants. This paperback edition is updated with new material covering Cristil’s death and memorial service, with additional post-retirement and memorial photos.

Review

“Jack Cristil has been such an important part in the fabric of the culture of the state of Mississippi, not just Mississippi State University, for an amazingly long run. He’s been the consummate professional, and I consider myself very lucky to have had the opportunity to work with him. He is a legend, and he will always be ‘The Voice of the Bulldogs.’”

―Dan Mullen, head football coach at Mississippi State University



“Jack’s signature call of ‘Wrap it in Maroon and White’ after a Bulldog victory and his skill at calling action on the field and court made him a legendary figure among sports fans and broadcasters far and wide. Jack has earned a spot in the collegiate sports history books and, more importantly, he will always have a special place in the hearts of all in the Bulldog family.”

―Dr. Mark Keenum, president of Mississippi State University



“Jack Cristil isn’t just any broadcaster. He is an MSU icon. Cristil is the most beloved individual in the history of Mississippi State football―and all sports. Period.”

―Rick Cleveland, Clarion-Ledger columnist and author



“It’s been an honor and pleasure to have the opportunity to work with a legend such as Jack Cristil, the greatest sports announcer of all time. I consider Jack a close friend, and I will dearly miss our pregame and post-game conversations. There will never be another one like him.”

―Rick Stansbury, former head basketball coach at Mississippi State University

Wrap in in Maroon and White
By Jeff
Great book that would be a great gift for those who love Mississippi State, stories about how things were in much simpler times, and/or those interested in how hard work and love of the craft can bring rewards measured in respect and love by one's audience rather than money.

RIP Jack, you are missed by many.
