How To Write And Publish Your Own eBook In As Little As 7 Days

How To Write and Publish Your Own eBook in as little as 7 Days by Jim Edwards and Joe Vitale exe format, 208 pages I was intrigued by the title of this book - writing an eBook in 7 days? But that's exactly what Jim Edwards and Joe Vitale show you how to do. However, your eBook doesn't have to be 100 pages. In fact, Joe Vitale's best selling eBook 'Turbo Charge Your Writing' is only 22 pages (and 2 of those pages are order forms). And the authors give the example of someone who wrote a book just 7 pages long that sells for between $30 and $50. The fact is that people are swamped with information. So the shorter your book, the better. Vitale and Edwards both have impressive track records in online publishing. Joe Vitale (also known as 'Mr. Fire') is something of a legend in the world of...

Little-Known Journey Of Willie O’Ree To Break The NHL’s Color Barrier

Almost everybody knows about Jackie Robinson and the historic role he played integrating Major League Baseball. But mention Willie O’Ree – who broke the NHL’s color barrier – and you’ll likely receive a blank look. That may start to change. On Jan. 19, 2022, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bill awarding O'Ree a Congressional Gold Medal. A day earlier, the Boston Bruins retired O'Ree’s number 22 on the 64th anniversary of the night the forward from New Brunswick, Canada became the first Black person to play in a National Hockey League game. O’Ree had always known he possessed the talent to play in the NHL. A speedy skater with an intuitive feel for the game, he had played organized hockey since he was five years old and had scored 22 goals with 12 assists in his first professio...

Disaster work is often carried out by prisoners – who get paid as little as 14 cents an hour despite dangers

Efforts to beat back wildfires ravaging Western states in the U.S. have been hampered this year by depleted numbers of “orange angels” – incarcerated workers deployed as firefighters. Their lower numbers coincide with the early release for eligible prisoners and the quarantining of others to combat the spread of COVID-19. The potential impact that having fewer prisoners to draw upon highlights the crucial role that incarcerated workers play in disaster response. While many people are aware that prisoners work to help contain wildfires in California and elsewhere, less well known is the role incarcerated workers play as a labor source across a variety of disasters throughout the country. As a social scientist, I study the impact of disasters on incarcerated populations. I recently co-aut...

The US has lots to lose and little to gain by banning TikTok and WeChat

The Trump administration’s recently announced bans on Chinese-owned social media platforms TikTok and WeChat could have unintended consequences. The orders bar the apps from doing business in the U.S. or with U.S. persons or businesses after Sept. 20 and require divestiture of TikTok by Nov. 12. The executive orders are based on national security grounds, though the threats cited are to citizens rather than the government. Foreign policy analysts see the move as part of the administration’s ongoing wrestling match with the Chinese government for leverage in the global economy. Whatever the motivation, as someone who researches both cybersecurity and technology policy, I am not convinced that the benefits outweigh the costs. The bans threaten Americans’ freedom of speech, and may harm for...

A little-known technology change will make video streaming cheaper and pave the way for higher quality

A new format for compressing video, called Versatile Video Coding (H.266/VVC), at first glance might not seem to be the most exciting or profound change to influence humanity. But in a world where 4.57 billion people identify as active internet users, 3.5 billion regularly use a smartphone, 80% of global internet traffic is compressed video data and 500 hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute, data is more than binary numbers. Data – and video specifically – is now part of humanity’s collective nervous system. A short summary of how the H.266 standards can improve the video streaming experience. COVID-19 has greatly increased internet usage around the world. It now has the dual purpose of keeping parents and kids connected for both work and school through video conferenc...

A restart of nuclear testing offers little scientific value to the US and would benefit other countries

A restart of nuclear testing offers little scientific value to the US and would benefit other countries

July 15, 2020 marks 75 years since the detonation of the first nuclear bomb. The Trinity Test, in New Mexico’s Jornada del Muerto desert, proved that the design for the Nagasaki Bomb worked and started the nuclear era. The U.S. tested nuclear bombs for decades. But at the end of the Cold War in 1992, the U.S. government imposed a moratorium on U.S. testing. This was strengthened by the Clinton administration’s decision to sign the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. Although the Senate never ratified the treaty and it never entered into force, all 184 countries that signed the test ban, including the U.S., have followed its rules. But in recent weeks, the Trump administration and Congress have begun debating whether to restart active testing of nuclear weapons on U.S. soil. Some cons...

FBI confirms Samuel Little is US’s most prolific serial killer

FBI believes Little's confessions to the murders of 93 women across the US are credible.

Fox News Host And Trump Nominee Goes Ape Sh*t And Screams At 9-Year Old Little Girl On Air

On Sunday, Fox News Host Pete Hegseth, who’s currently under consideration for a cabinet position in Donald Trump‘s administration overseeing the Veterans Affairs Department, started screaming at a 9-year-old girl wishing for an end to gun violence. Ever since the tragic events of Valentine’s Day, in which a young terrorist with an AR-15 assault rifle murdered 17 of their peers and faculty in cold blood, the teens of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High school in Parkland, Florida have led the fight for gun control reform, recently organizing the million-plus “March For Our Lives” protests which took place around the globe. However, NRA-loyal Republicans like Hegseth have grown increasingly frustrated and belligerent toward these kids for daring to challenge their beloved sociopathic ...
