When Miles Brislenn spies the girl he had a crush on in high school—at his ex-wife's wedding, no less—he can't let the opportunity pass. He might not have had the courage to talk to Renia Milek back then, but he definitely does now. And that's not the only thing that's changed. Gone is the rebel Renia used to be. In her place is a beautiful woman who's reserved, cautious…and holding on to secrets. For Miles, this second chance with Renia is too important to let her past stand in their way. He'll do whatever is necessary to help her accept her choices and move on—even if that means a salsa lesson or two! Because now that he's made the first move, he wants the second to be hers. |
| auction fantasy football draft strategy: Trump: The Art of the Deal Donald J. Trump, Tony Schwartz, 2009-12-23 #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • President Donald J. Trump lays out his professional and personal worldview in this classic work—a firsthand account of the rise of America’s foremost businessman. “Donald Trump is a deal maker. He is a deal maker the way lions are carnivores and water is wet.”—Chicago Tribune “I like thinking big. I always have. To me it’s very simple: If you’re going to be thinking anyway, you might as well think big.”—Donald J. Trump Here is Trump in action—how he runs his organization and how he runs his life—as he meets the people he needs to meet, chats with family and friends, clashes with enemies, and challenges conventional thinking. But even a maverick plays by rules, and Trump has formulated time-tested guidelines for success. He isolates the common elements in his greatest accomplishments; he shatters myths; he names names, spells out the zeros, and fully reveals the deal-maker’s art. And throughout, Trump talks—really talks—about how he does it. Trump: The Art of the Deal is an unguarded look at the mind of a brilliant entrepreneur—the ultimate read for anyone interested in the man behind the spotlight. |

Krell, President and CEO, International Securities Exchange How I Became a Quant should be must reading for all students with a quantitative aptitude.

| auction fantasy football draft strategy: 2020 Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide Sean Ryan, 2020-05-09 Have you noticed most 2020 Fantasy Football Magazines and Fantasy Football Books tend to recycle the same information, the same sleepers and the same tiers? This is because they're all using the same information: last year's stats! Last year's stats won't tell you how Mike McCarthy will utilize Ezekiel Elliot. They won't tell you if Mark Rhule is going to keep feeding Christian McCaffrey the ball. But The 2020 Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide does! A few years ago, I was like everyone else. I scoured the Internet and Fantasy Football publications searching for any advantage I could find. I found myself reading 10-15 different books that all wound up telling me the same thing. Making things worse - they were telling all of my competition as well. That's when sleeper picks become overhyped and over drafted. To avoid draft day misses, I knew I had to dig into the data. I knew I had to watch film and after a while, I cam to one undeniable truth: Fantasy Football success comes from knowing the offensive schemes and how a player's talents will be used in an offense. This is why (as my Fantasy Football Book predicted) Lamar Jackson flourished in last year under Greg Roman's coaching and Le'Veon Bell disappointed in Adam Gase's offensive scheme). In fact, 7 of our 8 Too Risky picks were busts last season! Think about this. If all my Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide did was tell you about one sleeper who is so far forgotten you could draft him and start him in the last round, would it be worth it? My readers who picked up Darren Waller and Devin Singletary in the late rounds last year think so. Or if all this Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide did was keep you from using your draft day picks on season-long busts? This is more than a fantasy football magazine. It's a fantasy football scouting agency. We blend next-gen sports analytics with good old fashion film study. I literally watch every single preseason game in order to properly calibrate this guide's rankings throughout the offseason. That's right, The Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide comes with FREE updates. You don't have to pay $5 a month to access them. If you buy the book we tell you how to access them. Included Within: -300 detailed player writeups with three year statistical progression included -Instructions on how to interact with Sean throughout the offseason -Over half of the league has a new head coach or offensive coordinator. How does this impact fantasy potential? Sean's shares insights based on film study and statistical analysis to project the impact of new offensive schemes. oWe've updated our algorithms to include play calling tendency of coaching staffs -Other guides use historical data to project their totals. The Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide is the only fantasy football magazine that utilizes scouting for future rankings. Simply put, our draft strategy is primed to maximize the value of every draft pick. -Defense and Kicker analysis has been completed to identify competitive advantage at these positions, which are commonly ignored -We've completed an easy to follow draft guide with useful tips for fantasy football rookies and fantasy football experts alike -Overall player tiers definition (which is more useful for draft strategy when playing in leagues with multiple team counts) -Expanded sleeper list that is rooted in scouting, coaching analysis and analytics. You won't find these players in other guides! -Risky players list, which identifies popular players that carry risk, are over-drafted based on our analysis and/or carry significant bust potential -Fantasy Rankings for different league types: Points-per-Reception (PPR), Standard/non-PPR and Rookies (for Dynasty Leagues) -We track 2020 offseason movement, coaching changes and draft selections |

| auction fantasy football draft strategy: Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game Michael Lewis, 2004-03-17 Michael Lewis’s instant classic may be “the most influential book on sports ever written” (People), but “you need know absolutely nothing about baseball to appreciate the wit, snap, economy and incisiveness of [Lewis’s] thoughts about it” (Janet Maslin, New York Times). One of GQ's 50 Best Books of Literary Journalism of the 21st Century Just before the 2002 season opens, the Oakland Athletics must relinquish its three most prominent (and expensive) players and is written off by just about everyone—but then comes roaring back to challenge the American League record for consecutive wins. How did one of the poorest teams in baseball win so many games? In a quest to discover the answer, Michael Lewis delivers not only “the single most influential baseball book ever” (Rob Neyer, Slate) but also what “may be the best book ever written on business” (Weekly Standard). Lewis first looks to all the logical places—the front offices of major league teams, the coaches, the minds of brilliant players—but discovers the real jackpot is a cache of numbers?numbers!?collected over the years by a strange brotherhood of amateur baseball enthusiasts: software engineers, statisticians, Wall Street analysts, lawyers, and physics professors. What these numbers prove is that the traditional yardsticks of success for players and teams are fatally flawed. Even the box score misleads us by ignoring the crucial importance of the humble base-on-balls. This information had been around for years, and nobody inside Major League Baseball paid it any mind. And then came Billy Beane, general manager of the Oakland Athletics. He paid attention to those numbers?with the second-lowest payroll in baseball at his disposal he had to?to conduct an astonishing experiment in finding and fielding a team that nobody else wanted. In a narrative full of fabulous characters and brilliant excursions into the unexpected, Michael Lewis shows us how and why the new baseball knowledge works. He also sets up a sly and hilarious morality tale: Big Money, like Goliath, is always supposed to win . . . how can we not cheer for David? |
| auction fantasy football draft strategy: Sway Ori Brafman, Rom Brafman, 2008-06-03 A fascinating journey into the hidden psychological influences that derail our decision-making, Sway will change the way you think about the way you think. Why is it so difficult to sell a plummeting stock or end a doomed relationship? Why do we listen to advice just because it came from someone “important”? Why are we more likely to fall in love when there’s danger involved? In Sway, renowned organizational thinker Ori Brafman and his brother, psychologist Rom Brafman, answer all these questions and more. Drawing on cutting-edge research from the fields of social psychology, behavioral economics, and organizational behavior, Sway reveals dynamic forces that influence every aspect of our personal and business lives, including loss aversion (our tendency to go to great lengths to avoid perceived losses), the diagnosis bias (our inability to reevaluate our initial diagnosis of a person or situation), and the “chameleon effect” (our tendency to take on characteristics that have been arbitrarily assigned to us). Sway introduces us to the Harvard Business School professor who got his students to pay $204 for a $20 bill, the head of airline safety whose disregard for his years of training led to the transformation of an entire industry, and the football coach who turned conventional strategy on its head to lead his team to victory. We also learn the curse of the NBA draft, discover why interviews are a terrible way to gauge future job performance, and go inside a session with the Supreme Court to see how the world’s most powerful justices avoid the dangers of group dynamics. Every once in a while, a book comes along that not only challenges our views of the world but changes the way we think. In Sway, Ori and Rom Brafman not only uncover rational explanations for a wide variety of irrational behaviors but also point readers toward ways to avoid succumbing to their pull. |

| auction fantasy football draft strategy: Political Economy, Concisely Anthony De Jasay, 2009 Anthony de Jasay is arguably one of the most independent thinkers and influential libertarian political philosophers of our time. Jasay challenges the reigning paradigms justifying modern democratic government, critiquing what he regards as the well-intentioned but illinformed arguments favoring the modern expansion of state power. The articles collected in Political Economy, Concisely are exactly what the title promises: a collection of concise essays that examine the political economy of a free society. Written for the general reader and specialist alike, these essays articulate a convincing classical liberal view of the world, with a no-nonsense approach to modern economic theory. Many of the articles are collected here for the first time in book form. Jasay's aim here is to clarify basic concepts in the realm of political and economic philosophy, such as property, equality and distributive justice, public goods, unemployment, opportunity costs, and welfare. His trenchant comments on European economics and political systems provide specifics that support his more general observations of the modern world. Arranged topically, these essays reflect the wit and intellectual elegance of their author, challenging conventional wisdom in a subtle yet incisive manner. Russian and French tragicomedies are used as striking illustrations of the fact that the human mind seems to be characteristically unwilling to endorse economic common sense against the myth of the beneficial effects of government control. Such lively topics as How to Get a Free Lunch: Just Apply for It; Your Dog Owns Your House; Russia Hobbling Along on Clay Feet; Who Minds the Gap? and Free Riding on the Euro both entertain and instruct. The topical arrangement within the sequence of the seven parts of the text provides a meaningful context for the reader and allows information to be accessed in a comprehensible manner. This book gives a jargon-free economic account of important matters in our daily lives. Its emphasis on the political rather than the ordinary business of life fills the need for revitalising classical political economy, concisely. |
