Rather than predicting batting average, for instance, this resource looks at the elements of skill that make up any given batter's ability to distinguish between balls and strikes, his propensity to make contact with the ball, and what happens when he makes contact--reverse engineering those skills back into batting average. The result is an unparalleled forecast of baseball abilities and trends for the upcoming season and

From Courage to Liberty: Faith and the Way Forward Gaffney Edward

For two centuries, the United States of America was considered one of the most powerful countries in the world. So why, in recent years, have statistics pointed to a weakening education system, a deteriorating economy, and a polarized government? It all goes back to understanding the Tytler Cycle, a cycle that rotates through bondage, liberty, selfishness, and complacency. This cycle dates all the way back to biblical times, repeating itself time and time again throughout the course of history. Today it is an imposing threat to American freedom, but it's not too late to study it, break free from it, and return to spiritual faith. Edward Gaffney was born and raised in Houghton, Michigan. An engineer, entrepreneur, loving husband, father, and grandfather, he was passionate about improving anything and everything. He was the founder of Ortho Kinetics, a company with over 400 employees that

Vexations Gelman Annelyse

A mother and daughter journey together through a strange speculative world in this experimental book-length poem.Annelyse Gelman's book-length poem Vexations is a surreal, glitchy meditation on empathy, ecology, and precarity.

All the while, they also navigate a condition that affects the daughter's empathic abilities, making her vulnerable to emotional contagion.Vexations is titled and structured after Erik Satie's composition of the same name, a piece that requires patience, endurance, and concentration from both its audience and its players. Similarly, Gelman's Vexations employs repetition and variation to engage the reader's attention. Hers is an ambient poetry, drawing on the

Metabolics: Poems Johnson Jessica E.

In this debut poetry collection, a single speaker tries to control her body and negotiate her time with digital devices, all the while navigating identities, impulses, and relationships that are often in tension.Metabolics, a book-length poem, borrows the movements of metabolic pathways to consider how nature accomplishes both balance and deep transformation. In visual figures and prose blocks that bridge the divide between poetry and nonfiction, Jessica E. Johnson employs scientific idioms to construct an allegory about a family in the Pacific Northwest. The region becomes a character in its own right, with cedars, moss, and heavy cloud knitting the mother, father, boy, and girl into their setting.This far-reaching volume also serves as a study of the ecologies of contemporary parenting, with adults and children affected by "feeds" both on screen and off as

Out of the Clear Blue Sky

Autor : Kristan Higgins, Popis : From bestselling author and TikTok sensation Kristan Higgins comes a funny and surprising new novel about losing it all - and getting back more than you ever expected. Lillie Silva knew life as an empty nester would be hard after her only child left for college, but when her husband abruptly dumps her for another woman just as her son leaves, her world comes crashing down. Besides the fact that this announcement is a complete surprise (to say the least), what shocks Lillie most is that she isn't heartbroken. She's furious. Lillie has loved her life on Cape Cod, but as a mother, wife, and nurse-midwife, she's used to caring for other people . . . not taking care of herself. Now, alone for the first time in her life, she finds herself going a little rogue. Is it over the top to crash her ex-husband's wedding dressed like the angel of death? Sure! Should she release a skunk into his perfect new home? Probably not! But it beats staying home and moping. She finds an unexpected ally in her glamorous sister, with whom she's had a tense relationship all these years. And an unexpected babysitter in, of all people, Ben Hallowell, the driver in a car accident that nearly killed Lillie twenty years ago. And then there's Ophelia, her ex-husband's oddly lost niece, who could really use a friend. It's the end of Lillie's life as she knew it. But sometimes the perfect next chapter surprises you . . . out of the clear blue sky.Druh sortimentu : Kniha, Název : Out of the Clear Blue Sky, Jazyk : Angličtina, Počet strán : 496

Geometric Patterns, Angles and the Guitar: A Chordological Shifting Perspective Persaud Steve

A Novel Approach to Learning Guitar Chord ProgressionsThis treatise seeks to encourage guitarists of all levels to find their voice by experimenting and creating chordal ideas by playing notes on any part of the fingerboard to come up with their own chord shapes and patterns and not necessarily familiar, geometric shapes. These chord progressions can express an emotion or tone, be it sad, happy, humorous, mysterious, and the next step is to use an online chord app (if needed) to determine the names of the chords that were created. Guitarists who compose instrumental pieces will not be limited by conventional chord shapes but can come up with unusual chordal ideas that highlight their creative and compositional abilities against a background of shapes and patterns. "This is interesting! I am an intermediate-level guitar player, and I am only familiar with
