# Super Pumped

Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber is a 2019 book by New York Times journalist Mike Isaac. The book covers the events between the founding of Uber and its initial public offering in 2019.

## Background

The book was based on Mike Isaac's coverage of events at Uber for The New York Times.

## Synopsis

The book presents the history of Uber since its founding by Garrett Camp as UberCab in 2009. Travis Kalanick, who would later run the company and become its largest shareholder before being removed as CEO, was originally brought in as an advisor with its first employee Ryan Graves as its CEO. The book explains how Kalanick came to replace Graves, who stayed on with the company, and gained control over the startup. According to the book, Kalanick was bitter about how venture capitalists had treated his first startup, Scour, and he vowed not to be replaced by them again. The book details the "work hard, play hard" culture at Uber, citing a party where employees celebrated the first billion dollars in revenues in Las Vegas. It also examines the many scandals experienced by the company, including allegations of sexual harassment documented by Susan Fowler, attempts to keep regulators from hiring Uber drivers to avoid fines, and the mishandling of personal information, including in the case of a rape victim in India. It also looks at the ways that, despite these incidents, the company was considered a unicorn by venture capitalists. Isaac writes that for a time, Uber was one of the highest valued private companies in Silicon Valley. The book ends with the company entering the market at below its valuation target.

## Critical reception

The book was well-received upon publication. Wired named it its "Book of the Month", praising it for detailing the many problems at the company without vilifying Kalanick. Leslie Berlin wrote in The New York Times that "Isaac is great at the ticktock of events as they unfold, but his best work comes when he steps back to examine the bigger picture."

## Television adaptation

In May 2021, it was announced that Showtime had given a series order to a television adaptation of the book from Billions creators Brian Koppelman and David Levien. Koppelman, Levien and Beth Schacter will serve as showrunners, writers, and executive producers. Joseph Gordon-Levitt will star as Kalanick. Kyle Chandler will also star as Bill Gurley. Kerry Bishé joined the cast as Austin Geidt. Babak Tafti and Mousa Hussein Kraish joined the cast. Hank Azaria joined the cast as Tim Cook. Bridget Gao-Hollitt was added to the cast as Gabi. The series premiered on February 27, 2022.
# Collective redress

Collective redress is a legal term used within the European Union to define a legal instrument for group proceedings similar to the US concept of a class action. Collective redress is embodied in Directive (EU) 2020/1828, the Directive on representative actions for the protection of the collective interests of consumers.

## Background

A survey carried out by the European Commission found that more than 79% of EU consumers would exercise their rights with other claimants in the event of joint proceedings. The possibility of group action would enable inexpensive legal action and would also act as deterrent. The Commission declared that it would not copy the US system, would avoid abusive and excessive practices and would take account of the 27 legal systems of member states which have developed over time. The instrument of class action does not confer any new rights or create new claims but only provides new ways of asserting them. Some European states already have proceedings which are similar to class action; others have introduced compromises, such as legal action taken by associations, although most EU member states do not have any such instruments.
The Commission's attempts to enact a European collective redress scheme were stalled for many years. Like a significant number of American lawyers, many European lawyers have traditionally regarded the American class action as a form of judicially endorsed extortion. The Directive was finally enacted in the aftermath of the 2015 Volkswagen emissions scandal, in which it became painfully clear that existing civil procedure laws were unable to deliver justice to consumers across Europe in a swift or cost-efficient manner. While European courts were jammed for several years with consumers forced to relitigate the same issues in every case on an individual basis, American consumers were able to extract an US$11.2 billion class action settlement from Volkswagen after only about one-and-a-half years of litigation.
# The Rise of Rome (Everitt book)

The Rise of Rome: The Making of the World's Greatest Empire is a book by the British author Anthony Everitt chronicling the rise of the Roman Republic and its evolution into the Roman Empire. It was written partly as a response to Edward Gibbon's The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. The book explores the development of Rome to become a world leader, how it managed to achieve dominance over Italy and most of Europe. It answers why and how the Romans achieved this spectacular dominance. The author has an interest in the history of Rome as it can be seen in his previous publications like Hadrian and the Triumph of Rome, Augustus, and Cicero. Like his previous three books, The Rise of Rome: The Making of the World's Greatest Empire tackles the topic of Rome, but from a much broader angle. The author touches on different topics such as citizenship, expansion, and the relationship between the senate and the emperor. It also talks about how Rome was able to transform from a small market town in the hills into a world power.

## Background

The book was published on August 7, 2012. It was published by Penguin Random House LLC.
# Sharks Nose

Sharks Nose is a (12,234-foot (3,729 m)) mountain located in the southern Wind River Range in the U.S. state of Wyoming. Sharks Nose is on the west side of the Cirque of the Towers, a popular climbing area. The peak is just north of Block Tower and immediately south of the peak known as Overhanging Tower. Sharks Nose is situated on the Continental Divide.

## Hazards

Encountering bears is a concern in the Wind River Range. There are other concerns as well, including bugs, wildfires, adverse snow conditions and nighttime cold temperatures.
Importantly, there have been notable incidents, including accidental deaths, due to falls from steep cliffs (a misstep could be fatal in this class 4/5 terrain) and due to falling rocks, over the years, including 1993, 2007 (involving an experienced NOLS leader), 2015 and 2018. Other incidents include a seriously injured backpacker being airlifted near SquareTop Mountain in 2005, and a fatal hiker incident (from an apparent accidental fall) in 2006 that involved state search and rescue. The U.S. Forest Service does not offer updated aggregated records on the official number of fatalities in the Wind River Range.

# Front of Islamic Revolution Stability

The Front of Islamic Revolution Stability (Persian: جبههٔ پایداری انقلاب اسلامی, romanized: Jebha-ye pāydārī-e enqelāb-e eslāmī, also translated Persevering Front, Endurance Front and Steadfast Front) is an Iranian principlist political group described as "extreme end of the fundamentalist camp" and "Iran’s most right-wing party".
The group was established as an electoral list for the 2012 legislative election. The front is partly made up of former ministers of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Taqi Yazdi is said to be the "spiritual leader" behind the group.
The front declares that it stands against both "sedition" (2009 Iranian presidential election protests) and the "deviant current". Rajanews website is its online mouthpiece.

## Views

The Economist described them as "Shia supremacists who oppose any kind of compromise with anyone inside or outside Iran".
The group's influence extends to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), where they've strategically positioned clerics and commanders who share their hardline ideologies. Many of the recent generation's commanders have undergone extensive training at summer camps conducted by clerics from this group.

## History

In 2013, the front supported Saeed Jalili for president after Kamran Bagheri Lankarani's withdrawal, and it released electoral lists for local elections in several cities, with a landslide victory in Mashhad City Council.
In recent years, the group has been influential in passing new laws, such as chastity laws, and in attempts to reinstate the mandatory hijab, which had seen a de facto suspension following widespread protests in 2022.

# The Strange Death of Vincent Foster

The Strange Death of Vincent Foster: An Investigation is a 1997 book by the journalist Christopher Ruddy. Ruddy first wrote about the Foster story while reporting for The New York Post and the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, owned by the millionaire Richard Scaife. The book is about a conspiracy theory tying Bill and Hillary Clinton to the alleged murder of Vincent Foster. There were three separate official investigations of Foster's death, each concluding that he committed suicide. Ruddy believes Kenneth Starr's investigation was part of the conspiracy, calling Starr a "patsy for the Clintonites and those that believe that the stability and reputation of America is more important than justice."

## Content

Former FBI Director William S. Sessions described Ruddy's inquiry into Foster's death as "serious and compelling". Richard Brookhiser (editor of the conservative National Review) wrote in The New York Times that "Ruddy argues that his doubts do not require him to posit some vast conspiracy of silence... At the same time Ruddy clearly believes that something dastardly happened, and he cannot stop dark hints from leaking out." Brookhiser wrote "'If,' Ruddy writes on page 1, Vince Foster 'had been killed ...' If Ruddy didn't want to make such an Oliver Stone argument, even hypothetically, he should have left his rhetorical teasers on the cutting-room floor."
Jacob Cohen (professor at Brandeis University) wrote in National Review that the book was "conspiracy central", while Ann Coulter "ripped it as a 'conservative hoax book' that was 'discredited' by conservatives." A Slate review called the book "absurd".

# Rousing Call to Hindu Nation

Rousing Call to Hindu Nation or Swami Vivekananda's Rousing Call to Hindu Nation (1963) is a compilation of Indian Hindu monk Swami Vivekananda's writings and speeches edited by Eknath Ranade the leader of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh. The book was published in 1963, in the birth centenary of Vivekananda. Ranade dedicated the book as a "personal homage to the great patriot-saint" Swami Vivekananda.

## Background

Swami Vivekananda was born in Calcutta (now Kolkata) on 12 January 1863. The year 1963 was celebrated as his birth centenary year and numerous initiatives were taken all over India. In 1963, M. S. Golwalkar, the second "Sarsanghchalak" (Supreme chief) of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh requested Ranade to take up the responsibility to establish the Vivekananda Rock Memorial. Ranade who had widely read the works of Vivekananda was deeply influenced by his teachings. He then took the initiative first to install a tablet on the Vivekananda Rock, Kanyakumari, and then published the book, a selection of Vivekananda's writings, titled Swami Vivekananda's Rousing Call to Hindu Nation, in Calcutta as a personal tribute.

## Content

While Vivekananda, during his lifetime, had talked on a wide spectrum of themes such as philosophy, religion, sociology, music and architecture, Eknath Ranade in his compilation limited the coverage to Vivekananda's writings related to India's ancient heritage, the reasons that led to its decline to the present state and the ways and means to reattain the past glory. Highlighted in the book are Vivekananda's call to rouse the conscience of the Hindus to establish the glory of Hindustan: "Arise! Awake! And stop not till the goal is reached".
Ranade divided the book in four parts — a) The message b) selections from Addresses, discourses and writings, c) some observations and admonitions and d) Man-making or the moulding of workers. Each part is divided into multiple chapters, each of which contains selections of Swami Vivekananda's writing and speeches related to India and Hinduism.

## Publication

Ranade's book was published in 1963, which was the birth centenary year of Vivekananda. The book was published by Swastik Prakashan, Calcutta. Ranade called the book a "personal homage to the great patriot-saint" Swami Vivekananda.

## Reception

The book received mainly positive reception. According to Antony Copley, the writer of "Hinduism in public and private: reform, Hindutva, gender, and sampraday", the book "exemplified" Vivekananda's theory of the difference between Hindutva and Hinduism. Swami Vivekananda's originally published book in Bengali was translated into English in 1993 and was named My India, Eternal India. This book followed the same format as Ranade's book and contained compilation of Vivekananda's sayings on different topics.

# East San Jose

East Side San Jose (abbreviated as ESSJ), commonly called The East Side and less commonly as the East Valley, is the eastern region of the city of San Jose, California. The East Side is made up of numerous neighborhoods grouped into two larger districts: Alum Rock and Evergreen. East San Jose is bordered by the Diablo Range to the east and south, the Coyote Creek to the west, and Mabury Road to the North.
East San Jose is one of the city's most diverse regions, home to landmarks such as the historic Chicano/Mexican-American neighborhoods of Mayfair and King & Story, as well as the Gurdwara Sahib of San Jose, the largest Sikh temple in the world outside of India.

## History

East San Jose originally referred to a small former city that sat to the east of San Jose, which was annexed by the City of San Jose in 1911. That area now falls within Central San Jose.
The Alum Rock neighborhood of Mayfair is famed for its historical association with Californian civil rights activist César Chávez, who lived in the neighborhood in the 1950s and began his career as a grassroots activist at Our Lady of Guadalupe Church in Mayfair.
Evergreen is the site of flight experiments conducted in 1911 by John J. Montgomery, who is best known for his invention of controlled heavier-than-air flying machines.

# After (Prose novel)

After is a 2003 young adult novel written by Francine Prose. The nearby school shooting is reminiscent of the Columbine High School massacre in 1999.
After a school shooting 50 miles away, the new grief and crisis counselor (Dr. Willner) attempts to control the students' lives, using the recent tragedy as an excuse for increasingly restricting their lives. The school gradually is controlled by the grip of the administration, and students who do not comply with the new rules disappear, never to be seen again.
Its plot is reminiscent of Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell.
Similarities include the normalization of propaganda and surveillance with the telescreens in 1984 and the TVs on school buses spouting so called educational content that turns out to be blatantly false. These novels also touch on brainwashing, with the nightly emails sent to parents that convince them to send their children away to reform camps from which they never return.
In contrast, After takes place during the reforms, showing how they were allowed to happen, while 1984 only shows the aftermath and its inevitability. The ending of After also shows the main character (Tom Bishop) escaping his town with his friends and family, a much lighter closing than 1984.
Described in the New York Times Book Review as a "rich parable", this novel questions the line that must be drawn when freedom is more important than safety.
