Book excerpt: Happiness doesn't come without a price. Rosemary Young knows the Lane. It's where she grew up, raising a brother barely younger than she was. It's where she served drinks, wearing a gaudy uniform in a low-lit bar to support her mama. It's where she fell for a boy from the wrong side of the tracks. Brandon Williams might've had a taste for gambling and been headed nowhere fast, but something about him made her almost forget every promise she ever made. These days when Rosie walks the Lane, it's on the orders of the man who owns it. The man who owns her—Joshua King. A bet gone wrong ties her to him, serving as the collateral Brandon didn't have. For Brandon the guilt is a white-hot brand, but Rosie can't bring herself to regret it completely. The safety of those she loves is worth the sacrifice. Now King's called Brandon back to town early and given Rosie one last job to do before they're free. Nothing—not even King—will keep Brandon from Rosie, not after three years of simply existing without her. And before it's all over, everything that had been done in darkness will come to light and nothing in their lives will ever be the same again. 67,000 words

Book excerpt: A jaw-dropping account of how one company came to own every poker machine in Tasmania – and the cost to democracy, the public purse and problem gamblers and their families. The story begins with the toppling of a premier, and ends with David Walsh, the man behind MONA, taking an eccentric stand against pokie machines and the political status quo. It is a story of broken politics and back-room deals. It shows how giving one company the licence to all the poker machines in the most disadvantaged state in the country has led to several hundred million dollars of profits (mainly from problem gamblers) being diverted from public use, through a series of questionable and poorly understood deals. Losing Streak is a meticulous, compelling case study in governance failure, which has implications for pokies reform throughout Australia.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book was the result of my personal journey in experimenting and using my POE AI bot called KitLuiInvestBot. It was mostly written by my bot with the assistance of my questions, research, uploading my knowledge source and reviewing and editing of the final book. After using my bot, I became a follower and investor of AI. Early in my career, I became a “gold bug” after experiencing some significant loses in the emerging markets and pretending to be George Soros. Ever since then, I held my gold investments assiduously even to this day. I have always wanted to share some of my knowledge from the books I have read over the past thirty years. This book is a result of this exploration and I hope you find it useful and practical in your own investment journey. The opinions expressed are mine and not meant to be general investment advice. For specific investment advice, you should seek the assistance of professionals. For quick readers, this book is about investing in gold and AI using the bar bell strategy. Now let’s begin and see if you agree with my investment proposition. If you do not agree with me, that is okay and maybe you can learn some new things about the life-time pursuit of investing and the possibilities of AI as an investment opportunity. It is acknowledged that early-stage investors have already profited from the AI investment trend but arguably this is secular trend and will last a long time - just in time for the next bull market, which started in late-2023. These are investment strategies that you can use right now. We also hope that you can improve your investment skills by understanding the principles described in this book. Consider it as a reminder if you are a veteran investor. This book is not meant to be a detailed case for a bull market in gold or AI. This is just my own opinion and experience. There are plenty of resources out there which explore these areas. There are also plenty of financial analysts that provide outlooks on new investment trends that does a better job than my boo on the inevitability of gold and AI. However, this book is unique in that it will make you reflect on your own style of investment and will give ideas for improvement. It will question your own biases and is a check list for do’s and don’ts for beginners and experts alike. Throughout the book, I share valuable advice for both beginners and experts in the field of investing. I would like to emphasize the importance of education, starting early, and saving money as key principles for building a strong foundation in investment. Additionally, I hope the reader comes away with a deeper understanding of the significance of investing in what one understands, being patient and disciplined, and seeking value opportunities. Furthermore, my use of the POE AI bot, KitLuiInvestBot, adds a unique perspective to the book. By incorporating AI into their investment journey, I hope to showcase the potential of AI as an investment opportunity. The most important thing to remember about this book is its emphasis on self-reflection and continuous improvement. I encourage readers to question their own biases and to constantly evaluate their investment style. This introspective approach serves as a reminder for both beginners and experts to remain open-minded and adaptable in their investment decisions. Hope you enjoy!

Book excerpt: "Smithy is an American original, worthy of a place on the shelf just below your Hucks, your Holdens, your Yossarians." —Stephen King Every so often, a novel comes along that captures the public’s imagination with a story that sweeps readers up and takes them on a thrilling, unforgettable ride. Ron McLarty’s The Memory of Running is this decade’s novel. By all accounts, especially his own, Smithson "Smithy" Ide is a loser. An overweight, friendless, chain-smoking, forty-three-year-old drunk, Smithy’s life becomes completely unhinged when he loses his parents and long-lost sister within the span of one week. Rolling down the driveway of his parents’ house in Rhode Island on his old Raleigh bicycle to escape his grief, the emotionally bereft Smithy embarks on an epic, hilarious, luminous, and extraordinary journey of discovery and redemption.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than any other sport, baseball has developed its own niche in America’s culture and psyche. Some researchers spend years on detailed statistical analyses of minute parts of the game, while others wax poetic about its players and plays. Many trace the beginnings of the civil rights movement in part to the Major Leagues’ decision to integrate, and the words and phrases of the game (for example, pinch-hitter and out in left field) have become common in our everyday language. From AARON, HENRY onward, this book covers all of what might be called the cultural aspects of baseball (as opposed to the number-rich statistical information so widely available elsewhere). Biographical sketches of all Hall of Fame players, owners, executives and umpires, as well as many of the sportswriters and broadcasters who have won the Spink and Frick awards, join entries for teams, owners, commissioners and league presidents. Advertising, agents, drafts, illegal substances, minor leagues, oldest players, perfect games, retired uniform numbers, superstitions, tripleheaders, and youngest players are among the thousands of entries herein. Most entries open with a topical quote and conclude with a brief bibliography of sources for further research. The whole work is exhaustively indexed and includes 119 photographs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life is a chancy proposition: from the movement of molecules to the age at which we die, chance plays a key role in the natural world. Traditionally, biologists have viewed the inevitable "noise" of life as an unfortunate complication. The authors of this book, however, treat random processes as a benefit. In this introduction to chance in biology, Mark Denny and Steven Gaines help readers to apply the probability theory needed to make sense of chance events--using examples from ocean waves to spiderwebs, in fields ranging from molecular mechanics to evolution. Through the application of probability theory, Denny and Gaines make predictions about how plants and animals work in a stochastic universe. Is it possible to pack a variety of ion channels into a cell membrane and have each operate at near-peak flow? Why are our arteries rubbery? The concept of a random walk provides the necessary insight. Is there an absolute upper limit to human life span? Could the sound of a cocktail party burst your eardrums? The statistics of extremes allows us to make the appropriate calculations. How long must you wait to see the detail in a moonlit landscape? Can you hear the noise of individual molecules? The authors provide answers to these and many other questions. After an introduction to the basic statistical methods to be used in this book, the authors emphasize the application of probability theory to biology rather than the details of the theory itself. Readers with an introductory background in calculus will be able to follow the reasoning, and sets of problems, together with their solutions, are offered to reinforce concepts. The use of real-world examples, numerous illustrations, and chapter summaries--all presented with clarity and wit--make for a highly accessible text. By relating the theory of probability to the understanding of form and function in living things, the authors seek to pique the reader's curiosity about statistics and provide a new perspective on the role of chance in biology.
