Playing procedures such as when and how to make different bets are given in detail, and the author weaves in stories from her casino career to illustrate points in a friendly fun style.

Download or read book Just Move written by James Owen and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2017 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This step-by-step guide, written by a best-selling author and former Wall Street titan, provides all the information--and inspiration--you need to feel better, reduce aches and pains, and push back against aging with a personalized fitness program that's right for you. Whatever your fitness goals or preferences, this book is designed to help you pursue the health program that works for you. An inspirational speaker, author, and former Wall Street rainmaker, Jim Owen was 70 when he decided he had to get fit. Years of a chair-bound lifestyle were taking their toll. Realizing that the old bodybuilding approach was no way to tackle the stiffness, weakness, and aches and pains that come with age, he set off on a journey of discovery and transformation. With help from the experts, he developed a common-sense, step-by-step program that can be tailored to any level of physical ability. Along the way he learned why cardio machines aren't enough, what it takes to be "functionally fit" for daily life, and how to stay motivated. Today, Owen is in better shape than he was at 25, and he is a passionate evangelist for fitness as a way of life. He has proved that you don't have to be powerless in the face of advancing years: if you make a commitment to "just move," you can take charge of the aging process and make your coming years the best they can be. The book is divided into two sections, with the first providing fascinating information and the second showing step-by-step details of how to put the best fitness principles into practice.

Download or read book Surviving the Grand Solar Minimum written by Dennis DeLaurier and published by Dennis DeLaurier. This book was released on 2024-03-24 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Welcome Be Prepared – Boy Scouts Things will always work out even when they don’t! - Author Hello and welcome to the Grand Solar Minimum. While you may be wondering just what a Grand Solar Minimum is, you may not know that you are living in it now. According to John Casey, a NASA Space Shuttle Engineer, it started in 20019. While you may not have been shoveling 40-foot drifts of snow at your location, things will pick up at the end of the 2024 - 2025 winter. You may or may not know that the sun goes through a cycle every 11 or so years. The sun also goes through other cycles of around 200, 400, and even 3600 years. During these cycles, sunspot activity decreases and at the end of the cycle starts creating sunspots again. The number of sunspots during a cycle can be correlated to the activity of the sun and the amount of energy (solar irradiance or SI) directed toward the Earth. The weaker the cycle (fewer sunspots) the colder the earth seems to get during these periods. While this book is about surviving the (Super) Grand Solar Minimum and things like food loss, breakdown of society, and bitter cold it is important to understand what is happening and the causes. If someone on the street yelled out "The world is ending", you would probably just laugh and go on your way. I can understand that you may be skeptical at this point. I certainly was until I looked at the information and data. This book will cover what the data and cycles look like and why George Washington took his army across the frozen Delaware River to attack the British. If it's winter and you check that river now you will note that it is not frozen at all. But why?

By the time the day is over, their mission turns into the largest recovery project in the history of the United States. Years later, Gil Downey and his team's security leader, Bradley North, are called on to assist in the recovery effort. The first priority is to bring home the remains of the crewmen and airmen that went down in the planes.

The effort takes Downey and North to the edge of trust and challenges everything they presume to know about each other.
