Blood at the Bookies
Welcome to Fethering! The race is on to find a killer when Jude stumbles across a body at the bookies in this quirky, cozy, British village mystery. Jude has never been averse to a bit of a flutter; her friend Carole, on the other hand, thinks that the local betting shop is a den of iniquity. But when Jude stumbles upon the body of fellow customer Tadeusz Jankowski after placing a bet, the odds of finding his killer don't look good. No one seems to know much about Polish immigrant Tadek, and even his sister doesn't know why he moved to Fethering in the first place. As they question the local residents, Carole finds an unexpected friend in an inveterate gambler, and Jude finds herself in potentially more trouble than she can handle with a lecherous and charming drama professor. In this race there can only be one winner, but with no leads and several suspects in the running will the sleuthing friends be pipped at the post by a cold and calculating killer?
Poisoning in the Pub, The
Welcome to Fethering! Carole and Jude spring into amateur detective action when their favourite pub is targeted by a killer in this quirky, cozy, British village mystery. Jude and Carole get more than they bargained for when a lunchtime meal in their local pub leaves everyone with food poisoning. The landlord is horrified, and when a series of disasters start to befall his business it looks like it could be the end of the road for the Crown and Anchor. Left with a bad taste in their mouths – and not just from the food – the two amateur detectives wonder if it might just be more than a run of bad luck that's forcing their favourite pub into bankruptcy. When a young man is found in the kitchen of the pub, though, with a knife through his heart, Carole and Jude swing into action. There's a killer on the loose in Fethering, and Carole and Jude need to uncover who it is before it's last orders for the pub – and themselves.
Computation in Science (Second Edition)
In the course of only a few decades computers have revolutionized scientific research and more and more scientists are writing computer programs for doing their work. In spite of the ubiquitous use of computers in science, few researchers in the natural sciences have any schooling in computer science, software engineering, or numerical analysis. They usually acquire their computing knowledge «on the job» and often feel overwhelmed by the amount of computing knowledge they must absorb. Computation in Science provides a background in computation for scientists who use computational methods. The book explains how computing is used in the natural sciences and provides a high-level overview of relevant aspects of computer science and software engineering with a focus on concepts, results, and applications. The goal of this book is to explain these basic principles, and to show how they relate to the tasks of a scientist's daily work in a language familiar to them. Its unique feature is in connecting the dots between computational science, the theory of computation and information, and software engineering. It will compensate for the general lack of any formal training in computer science and information theory allowing readers to achieve a better understand how they use computers in their work, and how computers work. Readers will learn to use computers with more confidence, and to see computing technologies in a different light, evaluating them based on how they contribute to doing science. This new edition has been significantly updated and extended to reflect developments in scientific computing, including new examples and references. It also includes a new chapter on reproducibility which reflects the importance that computational reproducibility. Accompanied by a website maintained by the author, which hosts companion code and supplementary material, it is intended for both graduate students and experienced scientists. Some hands-on experience with computing is highly desirable, but no competence in any specific computing technology is expected. Key Features
Significantly updated and enhanced, including a new chapter on reproducibility, it's one of the first books to include this in the era of the “reproducibility crisis”Updated references to include the latest research resultsAccessible to a broad range of physical and life scientists with no formal training in computingWritten for both graduate students and experienced scientistsSupported by the website http://computation-in-science.khinsen.net/ with updates, links to useful sites and software
Outnumbered
An epic tale of one man’s strength, courage, and luck -
plus a haunting family secret that spans an ocean and sixty-five years.
“Some people suggested that I was born under a lucky star. I wanted so much to believe this chisme from our gossipy neighbors and friends. I remember those nights as a young child when Mamá would tuck me into bed and I would look up into the inky-black Caribbean sky searching for the brightest star.”
Max grows up in a broken home with persistent health issues, an abusive stepfather, a weak mother, and a few questionable friends. Max’s young life is nothing more than a mess of troubles and mysteries. Regardless of his bonds to family traditions, Max finds some solace on the streets of Havana, carousing with his compadres and playing the charada numbers that bring him a steady string of good fortune on the local lottery. But he is eventually sent off to America on his own to start a new life and to find his real fortune. After all, how long can Max hinge all his hopes and dreams on his lucky stars and vague heavenly whispers? Can random wagers continue to bring Max the success and worth he always dreamed of?
It isn’t until he is confronted with his family’s long-hidden secret that Max begins to discover what luck and true value is all about.
This is the story of Max Chastine, a man who tries to outnumber and outrun life’s lucky and not-so-lucky twists of fate. Born into a unique culture of a tight (and often judgmental) Jewish community in Havana, Cuba, Max is forced to figure out his place in the world and convince everyone, including himself, of his true value and worth.
Love and family—can that combination be beat?
Will secrets of the past continue to haunt?
Can success really be measured in numbers?

My Black Biblical Heritage
Truth is constant. Truth does not change, neither does it have variables. However, the truth referred here is that which the bible teaches. It is the truth of salvation which is man’s reconciliation and restoration after the fall. This truth is found in John 14:6. Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. No man can come to GOD without going by him and through him. It is the knowledge of this truth that a man can be made free. When a man gives his life to Jesus Christ, he comes into the truth. To stay in the truth, he has to live in obedience to God’s Word through study that gives knowledge in the love of God. This knowledge in turn builds faith, and faith gives boldness that maketh not ashamed. This boldness confirms in him freedom and expresses same outside because of the understanding that the greater one lives in him. Any other truth apart from Christ is relative and subject to variations based on culture, legal interpretations, social conceptions and misconceptions, societal values and even political or religious views. We preach Christ, The Son of God…HE IS THE TRUTH.
