"Exposing the Myths of Blackjack" uses a statistical approach to investigate all possible player hands (first two cards) and dealer up cards for two strategies. The recommended player option for each is documented in detailed data tables and play cards that summarize the results. The Basic strategy is the commonly accepted one that recommends player options that will provide him/her with the maximum profit/minimum loss. The second strategy is the ROI Strategy that uses a risk averse technique to slightly alter some player recommendations, allowing players to retain most of their winnings while eliminating some recommendations that offer little return in exchange for additional wagers. All results are presented in terms of dollars and cents, a measure of merit that all readers will understand. This Return-On-Investment approach and the unique presentation of results provides the reader/player with an easy-to-understand approach to the game. This has been done for one deck, two decks and six decks, and for all of the commonly used player and casino rules for blackjack. Play cards for different scenarios are displayed side-by-side so the reader can easily identify differences. Commonly used, but questionable player recommendations, are identified as potential myths and discussed in detail. In addition to a final summary, several wagering techniques are discussed.

In 1977 Colonel Garnett Hill assembled a small group of dedicated civilian and military personnel whose objective was to thwart a long-term Nazi plan to develop an Aryan master race and Fourth Reich in the United States.  The Nazi operation, known as The Volsung Project, was completely foiled.  There would be no breeding ground for a Fourth Reich in the United States.  Still, Colonel Hill admonished his team of agents to remain on guard and to leave "no loose ends."A year later, during a routine night run on a coastal freighter from Buenos Aires to a port in Southern Argentina, Captain Juan Diaz, who had played a role in the demise of The Volsung Project,  observes a brilliant light emanating from a supposedly uninhabited area along the Argentine coast.  When he investigates the light source, he comes upon a WWII German submarine that has been carefully hidden and well maintained.  He deduces it must be the U-Boat that sailed from Germany in 1944 and has been unaccounted for since then.Coincident with the U-Boat  sighting, Richard Eherenfeld receives a mysterious and cryptic letter at his Houston office that initiates a cascade of convoluted events.  Apparently, Nazi plans for world domination and the eradication of the Jews are far from over.  Eherenfeld summons some of his old friends from The Volsung Project as well as a few new players.  This time it will require all of the ingenuity Richard and his team can muster to thwart another intricate and insidious Nazi plot for world domination.  No Loose Ends insures that the Nazi dream does not become a worldwide nightmare.

Population growth hastens the depletion of natural resources, degrades the environment, increases poverty and conflict, and debases the human spirit. This book offers an antidote. It prescribes a simple and practical credit-based system that can gradually reduce any population to an optimal size without imposing a limit on the number of children a couple can produce. It does this without requiring anyone to violate the moral precepts of any of the world's major faiths regarding birth control and abortion. And it shows how to use the same system to rationally regulate immigration. After presenting the plan, the author explores the demographic, social, environmental, and economic changes that would likely accompany population reduction, and proposes innovative solutions for some of our most pressing problems, including poverty. Anyone with an interest in the future of mankind and the conservation of the natural world will find this book informative, original, thought-provoking, and hopeful.

The life of the average American can be summed up in one word: busy. Busy with work, busy with kids' activities, busy packing too many things into the day. While running ourselves ragged seems to be the norm, it's important to stop and ask ourselves: does it have to be this way? Every event in our day is the result of a decision we've made. So, instead of staying 45 minutes late at work to finish up an important email, how about deciding to go home and ask your child about his or her day? It can be as simple as deciding to put your phone away during a conversation with someone. Journey in the Present explores various ways to awaken a greater sense of self awareness and live more authentically. With each chapter containing inspiring anecdotes and powerful questions to trigger self-reflection, your journey toward mindfulness starts today. All net proceeds from Journey in the Present go to brain tumor & epilepsy research.

In one simple prayer, Jabez caught God's attention and received a life-changing miracle from a life of pain and sorrow to a life of abundance, prosperity, establishment, and security (I Chronicles 4:10). Why was his prayer answered abundantly? Because Jabez understood that only the power of God can change any situation, no matter how dire, and he was determined to see change. So, he made targeted requests to God asking for blessings, enlargement and for evil to be removed from him, and God answered his prayer. As a result, he became more honorable than his brothers according to the Bible. In this book, Prophet Austin Idahosa will deepen your understanding of spiritual mysteries and unseen forces that operate behind the scenes to hinder the blessings that God has in store for every Christian. He also provides directions on how to pray targeted prayers that will enable you to break through your limitations and enter into sustainable divine blessings and abundance. When you pray targeted prayers with understanding and determination, you obtain amazing results. Prophet Austin Idahosa is the General Overseer of Recreation Fire and Miracles Ministries, a prophetic, healing, and deliverance ministry with headquarters in Minnesota, USA. He is married to Pastor Elizabeth Idahosa, and they are blessed with beautiful children.

With one false accusation, one woman's entire life comes to a screeching halt. Lynn Moller knew from an early age that she wanted to work with children. After obtaining a degree in early childhood education and child development, she went on to start a successful at-home child care service. This labor of love lasted over sixteen years and was completely without incident as Lynn became a trusted childcare provider in her community. Then, in a matter of days, Lynn's entire world came crashing down. What began as a mistaken assumption by a six-year-old girl quickly spiraled into a witch hunt. In the subsequent months, Lynn not only lost the families that put their trust in her--oftentimes for years and with multiple children--she also suffered severely prejudiced police interrogations, adverse health problems, and the draining of her family's financial resources. After enduring a trial that ultimately delivered the wrong verdict and going on to lose all of her appeals, Lynn is left with the shattered remains of her life and must somehow pick up the pieces. Injustice Is Served is an incredible true story of one wrongfully convicted woman and what happens when the truth does not prevail. After being wrongfully convicted on three counts of child abuse, Lynn Moller now seeks to help others avoid similar nightmares. At the age of 50, Lynn returned to school to earn her paralegal certificate and now proudly advocates for the falsely accused and wrongly convicted. Lynn lives in Madison, Wisconsin with her family.

The UFO phenomenon, in its totality, is surprisingly complex. Understandably, the general public does not recognize it, although the majority of the population, in general feel that UFOs are real. It is only through open-minded study and direct involvement in this field that the extent of its complexity be understood. The study of Exopolitics - (an interdisciplinary scientific field, with its roots in the political sciences, that focuses on research, education and public policy with regard to the actors, institutions and processes, associated with extraterrestrial life, as well as the wide range of implications this entails through public advocacy and newly emerging paradigms.) and Ufology is well recognized and investigation into the subject matter create even more questions. The field of UFOs is important from a scientific, sociological, psychological, and theological perspective.In the year 2003, I had my first UFO sighting in Hong Kong. We all have this "Seeing is Believing" mindset within this materialistic world; perceiving from our five senses. Once one has the first sighting experience, it is transformational, "unreal", dream state. Nothing really fits in with your worldview any longer, as you begin to question reality itself. After my first experience I never expected that would only be the beginning of my journey into the unknown. It opened the doors that lead me into another reality, and once the door is opened, it never closes. There are many others around the globe having similar experiences as I do and for sure it leads them into many other different experiences. Across the years, I have learned that the entire UFO phenomenon is composed of many "inputs" not just one single thing, just as in science, at first things seem to have just one component but nearly always it turns into several. Only by going into detail we may be able to gain a bigger picture from this paranormal world, the signs of which appear throughout our human history.My objectives for this book is sharing my experiences as a reference for those who are interested in the UFO phenomenon, and for experiencers around the world for comparison in order to further study and find truth within this global phenomenon. If each of us can obtain a part of the whole, then shared, we would then get closer to the complete picture. By connecting the dots, we can all learn from each other and thereby expand the fruits of our own explorations. We might find that our purpose to exist as a species is a preparation to unite with our cosmic family so as to integrate into another reality. An evolution towards the dawn of a New Humanity, a remembering process of what we really are!This book includes MORE THAN 200 GENUINE COLOR PICTURES, EVIDENCE OF UFO, ETs, INTER-DIMENSIONAL BEINGS AND ORBS, photographed by the author.
