Book Description
“Winner of the 2018 CASEY Award for Best Baseball Book of the Year.” The former ESPN columnist and analytics pioneer dramatically recreates an action-packed 2017 game between the Oakland A’s and eventual World Series Champion Houston Astros to reveal the myriad ways in which Major League Baseball has changed over the last few decades. On September 8, 2017, the Oakland A’s faced off against the Houston Astros in a game that would signal the passing of the Moneyball mantle. Though this was only one regular season game, the match-up of these two teams demonstrated how Major League Baseball has changed since the early days of Athletics general manager Billy Beane and the publication of Michael Lewis’ classic book. Over the past twenty years, power and analytics have taken over the game, driving carefully calibrated teams like the Astros to victory. Seemingly every pitcher now throws mid-90s heat and studiously compares their mechanics against the ideal. Every batter in the lineup can crack homers and knows their launch angles. Teams are relying on unorthodox strategies, including using power-losing—purposely tanking a few seasons to get the best players in the draft. As he chronicles each inning and the unfolding drama as these two teams continually trade the lead—culminating in a 9-8 Oakland victory in the bottom of the ninth—Neyer considers the players and managers, the front office machinations, the role of sabermetrics, and the current thinking about what it takes to build a great team, to answer the most pressing questions fans have about the sport today.

Hello, my dear reader. Here’s a little secret if you plan to buy tickets for the huge Powerball lottery drawing this weekend: Some Powerball numbers turn out to be winners much more often than other numbers. Even though math experts say the odds are exactly the same for each number to get drawn on any given night — because the selection process is random and there’s a precise number of balls in the lottery bin — the reality is some numbers pop out more frequently than others. Think about it: is it possible that a huge percentage of lottery winners are actually using mathematical or statistical formulas to help them win? If that is the case then anyone who is not using a system is merely feeding the prize fund and has an almost zero chance of winning. Here are some basic tips you can implement right now to slightly improve your chances of winning millions. Want to Play Powerball? Here's What You Need to Know.

Book Description
In "Powerball: A Journey of Dreams," we set out on an expansive examination of the social characteristic that is Powerball. From its beginning stages as an unassuming lottery game to its continuous status as an overall sensation, each segment dove into different highlights of Powerball's impact on society, mind science, and the total human experience. We reviewed how Powerball fills in as an impression of the Quest for Joy, offering trust and opportunity to players from fluctuating foundations. We researched the hazier side of Powerball reliance and the complexities of its relationship with social characteristics and principles. We dove into the accounts of victors and wastes of time, something very similar, highlighting the momentous power of the game and the challenges it can present. Moreover, we analyzed Powerball's work in empowering neighborhoods and the mind study of karma, uncovering an understanding of the diverse habits by which convictions and observations shape our viewpoints towards the game. Finally, we considered the inevitable destiny of Powerball and the continuing legacy it will leave on the social scene, seeing its capacity to move dreams and desires from now on indefinitely. Fundamentally, "Powerball: An Outing of Dreams" is an exhibition of the helping power of trust, credibility, and the human spirit. Through its examination of Powerball's impact on society and individuals, the book invites perusers to consider the huge effect of the game on our common mindfulness and the imperishable allure of the treasure trove dream.

Book Description
Several years ago, the spaceship Genesis was sent out on Earth's first mission to other solar systems to seek out the possibility of life, and even intelligent life on other worlds. That mission did indeed find life to be abundant in the heavens, and the Genesis ship found itself in a great expanse of space with no heavenly bodies. They turned back, fearing they might be headed for a black hole. When I returned to Earth, the scientists were very puzzled. The scientists could not believe the presence of a void in that sector of space. The spaceship Gemini was built and launched to find an answer to that question. The Gemini did in fact prove the existence of that black void but then returned to Earth with many more questions than answers. Perhaps you may have an answer. This book effectively becomes a sequel to The Genesis Mission. Certain ideas put forth in Genesis left things unanswered. This book attempts to cover the possibilities that scientists would want answers to questions which arose in The Genesis Mission.

Book Description
Secure Broadcast Communication in Wired and Wireless Networks presents a set of fundamental protocols for building secure information distribution systems. Applications include wireless broadcast, IP multicast, sensor networks and webs, ad hoc networks, and satellite broadcast. This book presents and compares new techniques for basic operations including: *key distribution for access control, *source authentication of transmissions, and *non-repudiation of streams. This book discusses how to realize these operations both with high performance processors and resource constrained processors. It shows how to protect against adversaries who inject packets or eavesdrop. The focus is on functional descriptions rather than theoretical discussions. Protocols are presented as basic building blocks that can be combined with each other and traditional security protocols. The book illustrates these protocols in practice by presenting a real implementation that provides security for an ad hoc sensor network. This book can serve as a textbook or supplementary reading in graduate level courses on security or networking, or can be used for self study.
