The Deal Breaker (The Billionaires of Silicon Forest Book 3)
There are some lines friends should never cross…right?Status quo might as well be Dashiell Cabot’s middle name. He has a job he loves, a billion dollars in the bank, and a best friend named Iris who keeps his personal life running smoothly. Why would he ever want to change any of that? But when Iris Jacobs tells him she’s quitting and returning to culinary school, Dash’s beloved status quo is thrown into chaos. Even worse? The thought of her departure is forcing him to realize his feelings for her might extend beyond the friend zone.
Iris wants more out of life than taking care of Dash. She always has. And even though she could never repay him for everything he’s done for her, she can no longer afford to protect his precious status quo at the expense of her own dreams. She has no choice but to leave…unless he can give her a compelling—and possibly romantic—reason to stay.
They’ve always been just friends. That was their deal. But when all is said and done, something will be broken—either their deal…or their hearts.

London Transport Buses in the 1960s: A Decade of Change and Transition
Just as life in Britain generally changed dramatically during the 1960s, so did London Transport’s buses and their operations. Most striking was the abandonment of London’s trolleybuses, once the world’s biggest system, and their replacement by motorbuses. Begun in 1959 using surplus RT-types, it was completed by May 1962 using new Routemasters, designed specifically to replace them. They then continued to replace RT types, too. Traffic congestion and staff shortages played havoc with London Transport’s buses and Green Line coaches during the 1960s, one-man operation was seen as a remedy for the latter, shortening routes in the Central Area for the former. Thus the ill-fated “Reshaping Plan” was born, introducing new O.M.O. bus types. These entered trial service in 1965, and after much delay the plan was implemented from September 1968 onwards. Sadly, new MB-types, also introduced in the Country Area, soon proved a disaster! Unfortunately, owing to a government diktat, Routemaster production ended at the start of 1968, forcing LT to buy “off-the-peg” vehicles unsuited to London operation and their in-house overhaul procedures. The decade ended with the loss of LT’s Country Area buses and Green Line coaches to the National Bus Company. Photographer Jim Blake began photographing London’s buses towards the end of the trolleybus conversion programme in 1961 and continued dealing with the changing scene throughout the decade. He dealt very thoroughly with the “Reshaping” changes, and many of the photographs featured herein show rare and unusual scenes which have never been published before.Read more

Trading Market Dynamics Using Technical Analysis
Trading Market Dynamics Using Technical Analysis by Constance M. Brown
Summary: Now required reading for CFTe certification Level 1 and 2 by the International Federation of Technical Analysts. Applied technical analysis is different than theory. The interaction of signal, timing, and confirmation is critical in today’s markets. Trading Market Dynamics is a detailed progression of methods that lead to a final chapter showing how they are used for trading daily intraday signals in a trader’s log from January 1-31, 2022. The methods apply for longer horizon positions or short intraday swings. The 10th book by well known author.
Chapter One – Markets or stocks should not be traded as a single symbol. There is always a leading trend to lean on using another market. The global cash flow discussion will show you how to compare markets in detailed charts.
Chapter Two – A two-part chapter that covers classic cycles. It is written in two parts as the material will become required for CFTe levels 1 and 2. Other content is being evaluated for certification.
Chapter Three – How to use MS Excel as a step-by-step guide to examine market correlation objectively.
Chapter Four – Crowd psychology and the market pressure patterns they create.
Chapter Five – Essential and written to correct industry misunderstandings and under-utilization of oscillators. Includes original charts and text of George Lane’s original week long course. Understand why you need both normalized and unbound oscillators in volatility. Learn why the best signals are NOT divergence signals but formations that repeat in the mid-range of travel giving signal probabilities.
Chapter Six – Needed to understand Brown’s entry/exit and risk assessment criteria.
Chapter Seven – This chapter tracks the entire month of January 2022 in an daily intraday trading log of NASDAQ. All the logic, study and prep each evening, then trading as a running dialog written in real-time. Time periods drop from daily down to 4-minute charts as needed. It became a period of market transition that required most of the methods described earlier in the book. The chapter in retrospect shows how applied technical analysis is used in battle during an historic rollover in the NASDAQ.

Technical Analysis for Beginners: Candlestick Trading, Charting, and Technical Analysis to Make Money with Financial Markets Zero Trading Experience Required (Day Trading Book 3)
If you are a technical analyst, you know how useful it is to predict the future. Based on a collection of indicators and other technical techniques, technical analysts can see what the market will do by predicting how stocks are likely to move in the future. When you read this book, you will find some common patterns seen in charts that can help you predict where a stock might go next.
Are you interest? Keep reading to know more!Technical analysis is one of the quickest ways for an investor in stocks or futures to make money. Investors must become more educated on this type of investment strategy and use them effectively to their advantage.
Since the 1940s, technical analysis has been used to predict future stock prices of stocks and commodities. It is also used in the futures markets to help traders decide which instruments and futures contracts they wish to buy or sell.
For technical analysis to be successful, the investor must observe certain patterns in a chart of a stock or commodity.Once these patterns are seen, an investor can use them as indicators for making future predictions about where that specific asset might go. Traders often develop their indicators so that they can track the price movements of their stock more accurately. They may even develop special software programs designed for this purpose.
There are many different types of trading strategies that an investor can use. One of the most common is technical trading, which involves using indicators to help predict future price movements. This type of strategy aims to use the wealth gained from the sale of a stock or commodity.
This book covers:
- What Is Technical Analysis
- Basic Concept of Trend
- Recognizing Breakout
- The 4 Types of Indicators You Need to Know
- Continuation Patterns
- Reversal Patterns
- 24 Candlestick Patterns That Every Trader Should Know
- Avoid the Traps
- Trading Psychology
And much more!
To become successful in technical analysis, you will need some knowledge about the market itself. You should be able to recognize which patterns are likely to persist and which patterns might be short-lived or seasonal. It would be best if you looked at a chart as often as possible so that you can recognize patterns as they appear.
Remember that there is no need to become an expert in technical analysis. The primary purpose is to show where specific patterns can be seen and how they can be used as indicators for future predictions. You can use this information to improve your skills and, as a result, increase your chances for success in technical trading.

Formula 1 2020/2022 Technical Insights: Preview 2023 (Formula 1 Technical Insights)
An analysis of the technical evolution of the Formula 1 cars during the course of 2020, 2021 and 2022 seasons through hundreds of drawings accompanied by painstakingly accurate technical/sporting texts. Three remarkable seasons for Formula 1, firstly with the pandemic – which drastically reduced the 2020 championship – to Red Bull’s return to form with the incredibly quick Max Verstappen proving to be a leader capable of challenging and defeating Lewis Hamilton in the controversial conclusion to the 2021, and then repeat the feat the following year. A world championship that saw Ferrari with Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz back amongst the front runners, albeit missing out once again on the ultimate honours. Paolo Filisetti “escorts” the enthusiastic reader through these three seasons, revealing through his drawings, the technical innovation introduced by the various teams, many of which were the subject of often heated debate. The volume is completed by a rich preview dedicated to the 2023 World Championship, with a chapter reserved to the single-seaters of this season, a contribution on the rules and one on the main technical innovations seen in the first part of the Championship.Read more

Chinese Among Others: Emigration in Modern Times (State & Society in East Asia)
In this book, distinguished historian Philip A. Kuhn tells the remarkable five-century story of Chinese emigration as an integral part of China’s modern history. Although emigration has a much longer past, its ‘modern’ phase dates from the sixteenth century, when European colonialists began to collaborate with Chinese emigrants to develop a worldwide trading system. The author explores both internal and external migration, complementary parts of a far-reaching process of adaptation that enabled Chinese families to deal with their changing social environments. Skills and institutions developed in the course of internal migration were creatively modified to serve the needs of emigrants in foreign lands. As emigrants, Chinese inevitably found themselves ‘among others.’ The various human ecologies in which they lived have faced Chinese settlers with a diversity of challenges and opportunities in the colonial and postcolonial states of Southeast Asia, in the settler societies of the Americas and Australasia, and in Europe. Kuhn traces their experiences worldwide alongside those of the ‘others’ among whom they settled: the colonial elites, indigenous peoples, and rival immigrant groups that have profited from their Chinese minorities but also have envied, feared, and sometimes persecuted them. A rich selection of primary sources allows these protagonists a personal voice to express their hopes, sorrows, and worldviews. The post-Mao era offers emigrants new opportunities to leverage their expatriate status to do business with a Chinese nation eager for their investments, donations, and technologies. The resulting ‘new migration,’ the author argues, is but the latest phase of a centuries-old process by which Chinese have sought livelihoods away from home.Read more

Do race horses get headaches or suffer off days?They probably do, considering that only 20% of favourites win. Which, of course, makes “form” a bit of a joke.

The system was scientifically developed from horse racing statistics and offers regular punters a great opportunity for honing their profit-making skills in horse race betting.
Although the system is easy to understand, a lot of work had gone into the processing of the statistics it is based upon. The book is therefore more than fairly priced.
