The red platoon5/20/2023 However, with ESPN's standard leagues moving to smaller rosters this season, it's imperative that we scrutinize recent trends and smaller statistical samples, and trade away hot-starting performers we expect to cool before their value dries up. The fact it was an injury-influenced decline makes Torres a somewhat awkward example of the classic "sell-high" player, as on the night of April 11, he sure looked like a player to go get. In just two weeks, Torres' fantasy appeal has taken a significant hit, his roster rate has dropped 5% accordingly, and his trade stock has most certainly declined. It was a swing in performance that fantasy managers, especially those playing in our new standard game, cannot afford to absorb.

The demon haunted world hardcover5/20/2023 And yet, disturbingly, in today's so-called information age, pseudoscience is burgeoning with stories of alien abduction, channeling past lives, and communal hallucinations commanding growing attention and respect. How can we make intelligent decisions about our increasingly technology-driven lives if we don’t understand the difference between the myths of pseudoscience and the testable hypotheses of science? Pulitzer Prize-winning author and distinguished astronomer Carl Sagan argues that scientific thinking is critical not only to the pursuit of truth but to the very well-being of our democratic institutions.Ĭasting a wide net through history and culture, Sagan examines and authoritatively debunks such celebrated fallacies of the past as witchcraft, faith healing, demons, and UFOs. From the first page to the last, this book is a manifesto for clear thought.”-Los Angeles Times A prescient warning of a future we now inhabit, where fake news stories and Internet conspiracy theories play to a disaffected American populace

Topdog underdog by suzan lori parks5/20/2023 Startled by his brother’s costume, Booth whirls around and points a pistol at Lincoln, threatening to shoot him next time he scares him like that. He has just come from his new job at the arcade, where he sits dressed up as Abraham Lincoln while customers shoot him with cap guns, a job he recently took so that he could leave behind his dangerous life as a Three-Card Monte conman. He’s wearing a long coat, a fake beard, and a top hat. Lincoln is a former hustler and Three-Card Monte dealer who’s staying with Booth because his wife, Cookie, has left him. Interrupting him, his brother Lincoln enters. He rehearses his banter, imitating phrases he’s heard hustlers use on the street. In the opening scene of Topdog/Underdog, Booth sits in a squalid apartment and practices playing Three-Card Monte atop a cardboard box propped up by milk crates.

The romance of the forest5/20/2023 She may have attended the local school, but of this there is no evidence. Andrew’s, on July 9, 1764, and was christened on the following August 5, as is proved by the existing register. His daughter Ann was born at Holborn, in the parish of St. He was also connected with such famous professional families as the Cheseldens, Jebbs, and De Witts. Ward, though he carried on a business at Holborn, London, was of gentle birth, and counted his descent from the Wards of Leicestershire, in which county he held some of his ancestral property. Radcliffe was the only child of William Ward by his wife Ann Oates. Yet they exercised a very appreciable influence upon English literature, and it is felt that the re-issue of her best-known books will gratify a large class of readers who have never had an opportunity of becoming acquainted with romances which at one time excited so much admiration, and may once more regain their hold. Ann Radcliffe were once extremely popular: they passed through many editions, both in this country and on the Continent but, being allowed to drop out of print, they are now almost forgotten.
