William F. Kirk (1877 - 1927) was an American baseball writer, columnist, humorist, poet and songwriter. Although born in Mankato, Kirk spent most of his childhood in Chippewa Falls. He graduated from high school there and began his career in journalism on a local paper. His humor column, “Fleeting Fancies”, was a popular feature in the Chippewa Falls Herald and later in the Milwaukee Sentinel.[1] It brought him to the attention of metropolitan dailies and was the name of his first book, published in 1904. Kirk's lyrics drew comparisons with those of other poets, whose work he sometimes parodied: Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Eugene Field and James Whitcomb Riley. [more]

Inspired due the 20th anniversary edition of Vampire the Masquerade I had returned to write a handful of shortstories. Mostly to reconsider the storyteller position, which I discarded ago, becoming a part of my social life *cough* again. Dorkness and roleplaying, unholy bedfellows. This one was spun, as clichè, and then I 'was inspired' (nothing to do with baseball bats and assissted opening knives in illegal length), to write a second version, wherein poor lil gay Pascal becomes the dark protagonist instead.

The Evolution of Data Science and the Information Age.Data science is a large vast time period that encompasses a variety of disciplines and standards which includes big data, Artificial Intelligence (AI), data mining and machine learning. The self-discipline of analyzing giant volumes of data recognized as ‘data science’, is relatively new and has grown hand-in-hand with the improvement and widespread adoption of computers. Prior to computers, records used to be calculated and processed by hand underneath the umbrella of ‘statistics’ or what we would possibly now refer to as ‘classical statistics’. Baseball batting averages, for example, existed properly earlier than the creation of computers. Anyone with a pencil, notepad and primary arithmetic abilities could calculate Babe Ruth’s batting common over a season with the useful resource of classical statistics. The method of calculating a batting common concerned the dedication of time to accumulate and assessment batting sheets, and the software of addition and division. The key factor to make about classical data is that you don’t strictly need a laptop to work the statistics and draw new insight. As you’re working with small facts units it is feasible to even for pre-university college students to conduct statistics. Indeed data is nevertheless taught in colleges today, and as they have been for centuries. In this book you will learn all about machine learning and data mining. Hope you will love this book.

Field of Blackbirds is a completed, 120,000 word, historical fiction, primarily set in the Balkan region of Yugoslavia. During a time of ethnic cleansing and genocide, four young men, hemispheres apart, set out for one common purpose; to find God’s mercy. Eventually, wearing different uniforms, their values, ideas and misconceptions collide during the Kosovo Crisis, in 1992. Reed: A baseball loving, all-American, everyday saint, who is ready to serve his country, but must prove that his stomach is as strong as his conviction when tossed into the blood-soaked fields of ethnic genocide. Lazar: A poor Serb, who joins the Yugoslav army out of patriotic duty, is forced to cleanse the village of his Muslim girlfriend. Will the guilty jaws of betrayal swallow him whole like Jonah and the whale? Marcielli: A classic Italian, Don Juan and soccer pro, who forfeits a future of fame and glory to join the military so he and his new bride can shake the relentless Italian Mafia from repaying an unwanted debt to his family. And finally, Radenko: A military law graduate and the son of a prominent general from Montenegro, who battles his conscience while defending top-level war criminals, is plagued by the moral influences of his deceased mother. Can he provide a fair defense for his clients? Be prepared to experience life through their eyes. How far are you willing to follow your convictions? What really defines treason? Whose values are right anyways? Where will you stand as these young men could be fatally challenged with bringing moral courage and compassion to a horror-stricken way of life? You will feel with them, love with them, even hate with them, and you will pray they make the right decisions. [more]
