Nettie Herskovitz was wealthy and widowed. Her suitor, Harry Diamond, was a dashing young bootlegger a decade and a half her junior. At first she resisted his advances, but soon the two were married with an infant daughter. Disinterested in a domestic life, Diamond shot Nettie on Valentine s Day 1923 while riding in their Hudson sedan. He tried to pin the crime on the fleeing chauffeur, but Diamond made a mistake. Though mortally wounded, Nettie lived long enough to identify her attacker to police and change her will. The sensational Diamond murder became tabloid fodder a Roaring Twenties story of roadhouse floozies, illegal booze, orphaned children, trust funds and legal acrobatics."

Her sharp tongue may drive him crazy, but she needs money to save the foundation she loves, and he needs a fianc e. It's a flawless arrangement-no strings, no love. But soon she has him craving more, and cursing the platonic terms of their agreement.Still, he won't allow need-no matter how hot it burns-to threaten everything he's built.
I have been telling stories to the children in my life for many years. It has been a fun way to connect with my own children when they were young and now my grandchildren. Many of my stories were born on long road trips. I have told several different series throughout the years. In telling my children and grandchildren stories, it's more than just entertaining them I am trying to instill in them the importance of prayer and the power of faith in Jesus. In most of my stories the child the story is being told to is the main character in the story. We have enjoyed these stories and hope to share many more with you in the future. I hope you enjoy my first book. A TUTU Christmas is a story that I told to my granddaughter Harper. Many of my stories are told in the front porch swing or the swing in the back yard. I love to be taken by the hand by Harper or Huck, my grandchildren and hear them say, "Come on Nana tell me a story." The events in this story as well as the people in the story and Harper's TUTU are real, the dream is pretend. I love to take real life events and embellish them to make a fun story. This book tells about a little girl taking a stand and defending the people she loves, which is something that is right in line with the character of my little Harper. I hope you love this book. God bless.

It’s falling from the sky and in the air we breathe. It’s in our food, our clothes, and our homes. It’s microplastic and it’s everywhere—including our own bodies. Scientists are just beginning to discover how these tiny particles threaten health, but the studies are alarming. In A Poison Like No Other, Matt Simon reveals a whole new dimension to the plastic crisis, one even more disturbing than plastic bottles washing up on shores and grocery bags dumped in landfills. Dealing with discarded plastic is bad enough, but when it starts to break down, the real trouble begins. The very thing that makes plastic so useful and ubiquitous – its toughness – means it never really goes away. It just gets smaller and smaller: eventually small enough to enter your lungs or be absorbed by crops or penetrate a fish’s muscle tissue before it becomes dinner. Unlike other pollutants that are single elements or simple chemical compounds, microplastics represent a cocktail of toxicity: plastics contain at least 10,000 different chemicals. Those chemicals are linked to diseases from diabetes to hormone disruption to cancers. A Poison Like No Other is the first book to fully explore this public health threat, following the intrepid scientists who travel to the ends of the earth and the bottom of the ocean to understand the consequences of our dependence on plastic. As Simon learns from these researchers, there is no easy fix. But we will never curb our plastic addiction until we begin to recognize the invisible particles all around us.

From science fiction death rays to supermarket scanners, lasers have become deeply embedded in our daily lives and our culture. But in recent decades the standard laser beam has evolved into an array of more specialized light beams with a variety of strange and counterintuitive properties. Some of them have the ability to reconstruct themselves after disruption by an obstacle, while others can bend in complicated shapes or rotate like a corkscrew. These unusual optical effects open new and exciting possibilities for science and technology. For example, they make possible microscopic tractor beams that pull objects toward the source of the light, and they allow the trapping and manipulation of individual molecules to construct specially-tailored nanostructures for engineering or medical use. It has even been found that beams of light can produce lines of darkness that can be tied in knots. This book is an introductory survey of these specialized light beams and their scientific applications, at a level suitable for undergraduates with a basic knowledge of optics and quantum mechanics. It provides a unified treatment of the subject, collecting together in textbook form for the first time many topics currently found only in the original research literature.
Renowned wild horse ecologist Mary Ann Simonds provides a soup-to-nuts manual for stress-reduction in performance horses. Based on her 30-plus years of personal research and experience of wild horse ecology and domestic horse behaviour, as well as data provided by other equine scientists, readers will find a foundation of understanding related to the natural life cycle and history of the horse, from birth to forming friendships and families. The importance of gender, age, breed, culture, and habitat in the horse’s natural development are clarified. Simonds then explores horse-human relationships, communication, care, and training, as well as “the things we do with horses,” clarifying how to reduce the stress typically experienced by horses when pursuing specific equestrian disciplines and activities. Throughout, colour-coded tips, indicating whether its information is “Essential,” “Important,” “Makes Life Better,” or “Ensures Safety,” highlight the different ways riders and trainers can address the horse’s quality of life to ensure stress is minimised or negated whenever possible. Simonds analyses all manner of equestrian activities, including: - Pleasure riding, trail riding, and keeping horses at home. - Training for sport or performance. - Horse shows and competition. - Human-animal interaction programs, such as equine-assisted therapy and horse tourism. - Equine bodyworkers, including chiropractors, acupuncturists, and massage therapists. - Rescues and wild horses. - Clinical work and research. - Shipping and travel. - Sales barns and boarding barns. Fun, friendly, and informative, A Horse By Nature is designed to help both novices and experts gain better insight into how horses think, feel, learn, and generally perceive our human world. It also looks at humans and gives suggestions as to how we can change our own thinking or behaviour to better understand our horses, eliminating unnecessary stress and inhumane treatment while ensuring healthier, better performing equines, whatever the equestrian pursuit.
A fire hydrant has a solitary existence; he is a permanent fixture in cement next to the street. He can withstand all kinds of weather, and people often kick him, splash him, or sit on him. He has seen many different events-with happiness and joy or pain and tears. One day is particularly horrible. First, a car accident happens right in front of him. Traffic slows, and there are sirens, yelling, and honking all around him. Even after that gets cleared away, things do not get better. A dog escapes from its owner and runs around the neighborhood, going from tree to tree and bush to bush, marking everything he can. Then the dog spots the fire hydrant and makes a mad dash. What happens next is the birth of a neighborhood legend. In this children's story, a fire hydrant takes revenge when a rampaging dog decides to mark his territory in the wrong spot.

There is a wealth of literature and books available to engineers starting to understand what machine learning is and how it can be used in their everyday work. This presents the problem of where the engineer should start. The answer is often “for a general, but slightly outdated introduction, read this book; for a detailed survey of methods based on probabilistic models, check this reference; to learn about statistical learning, this text is useful” and so on.This monograph provides the starting point to the literature that every engineer new to machine learning needs. It offers a basic and compact reference that describes key ideas and principles in simple terms and within a unified treatment, encompassing recent developments and pointers to the literature for further study.A Brief Introduction to Machine Learning for Engineers is the entry point to machine learning for students, practitioners, and researchers with an engineering background in probability and linear algebra.
