Best Selling Books by Michael Leonard

Hello friend and potential book purchaser. Mike Leonard here. I''ve been reading (skimming) all sorts of online articles on: "How to write a bestseller!!" "How to make your book better than Huckleberry Finn!!""No one wants to read short stories or essays. Write a book with vampires or wizards or BDSM!"I honestly don''t know who this book is for. Dyslexic bears maybe? Angry yet oddly relaxed pseudo-intellectual-conspiracy-theorist-anarchist-Southern-Baptists?I guess since it''s just you and me here, I can ask you: Do you want to know what my Fictional dead Grandfather told me about the meaning of life?Would it interest you to know that 1,000 citizens of The United States of America own 1,000 more tanks than the government of Mexico?Do you hate Mother Nature and find the majesty of existence inherently disgusting?Are you happy with your company-provided health insurance and wish poor people would just get a job or die maybe?Are you interested in the reproductive habits of Spotted Hyenas?Hey! Would you like to hear a man''s poorly thought about position on the reproductive rights of women If you said yes to any of the above questions, then this book is probably still not for you but what the heck, take a chance and buy my kids some new shoelaces.If you make it to the end, you can meet Bryan and he has cancer, so there''s that to look forward to.

Amberley Bridges has always tried to trust God. When her alcoholic father seeks salvation through Jesus Christ, Amberley can hardly believe the wonderful changes that come to her family-but more changes, and challenges, are just around the corner. Growing up, facing bullies, and taking a stand in the classroom are just the beginning. When Amberley''s family takes in two "stray cats," stubborn spitfire Brenda and Vietnamese immigrant Lien, the stage is set for the greatest tests of faith Amberley has ever known.

Have you dreamed about becoming a scratch golfer? Do you wish that you could casually and consistently score in the low 70''s or even sneak in a round under par? Well, let me tell you that is definitely possible with hard work, determination and these principles to help you finally breakthrough in golf. You may be thinking...I''m shooting in the 90''s, there is no way I can become a scratch golfer. I disagree -- why? Within five years I was able to go from shooting a 122 to shooting a 72. Yes, I was able to score 50 shots better in a matter of years. I''d love to say it''s as easy as "follow these five steps" or "shoot par golf tomorrow" but it would be a lie. Golf, as you know, is the hardest sport in the world. It also happens to be the most rewarding. Success doesn''t happen overnight but if you master certain skills you will set yourself up to score much better and become a scratch golfer in the long run. This book is your blueprint to success -- here''s what you''ll learn: - The drills that pros use to refine their game and how you can implement into your routine - How to finally straighten your driver and give yourself more opportunities - Learn to eliminate negative thoughts and use your mind to change your game forever - How to play great under pressure with visualizations and a consistent routine Start learning the secrets of becoming a scratch golfer from someone who has done it! Michael Leonard has been a golfer his whole life with 20 years of experience. He has achieved the goal of becoming a scratch golfer, as he carries a +2 handicap and has started shooting under par in tournaments. He is currently involved in several amateur and mini-tours in Arizona and is working on becoming professional in the near future. HowExpert publishes short ''how to'' guides on unique topics by everyday experts.

The temporal and spatial variability of Australia''s climate affects the quantity and quality of its water resources, the productivity of its agricultural systems, and the health of its ecosystems. This variability should be taken into account when assessing the risks associated with flooding. Continuous simulation rainfall models are one means for doing this, whereby sequences of storms are generated for an arbitrarily long time period and over some region of interest. The simulated rainfall should reproduce observed statistics in time and space so that it can be used as a suitable input for hydrologic models at the catchment scale, with particular emphasis on extreme events. There are a variety of approaches to modelling rainfall, including a broad range of single-site and multi-site rainfall models. By way of contrast there are few models that aim to simulate rainfall across all points within a region at daily or sub-daily increments. This thesis focuses on models calibrated solely to rain gauges, and a specific type known as Neyman-Scott Rectangular Pulse (NSRP) models. Existing NSRP models have a mature history of modelling developments including calibration methodology and an ability to reproduce key statistics across a range of timescales. Nonetheless, these models also have several limitations (and other space-time models not withstanding) that are addressed in this thesis. These developments include improvements to the conceptual representation of rainfall and improvements to calibration and simulation techniques. Specifically these improvements include (i) the development of an efficient simulation technique, (ii) assessing the impact of monthly parameter changes on rainfall statistics, (iii) the use of simulated statistics within calibration to overcome reliance on derived model properties (iv) incorporating a storm extent parameter to better match spatial correlations, (v) incorporating long term climatic variability and developing a methodology to assess climatic and seasonal variability in simulated extremes (vi) incorporating inhomogeneity of rainfall occurrence across a region. Numerous case studies are used at various locations about Australia to illustrate these improvements and highlight the applicability of the model under varied climatic conditions.

Logically, it is sensible that you simply want to wash your body with something, well, clean. That raises some interesting questions about soap. Unlike soap that you simply dispense from a container, soap sits in the open, seemingly susceptible to all the germs in your shower.

Understanding the impact that disability can impart on parents can help to develop better programming and support. For those in rural areas, there is a noticeable lack in the capability to develop and access structural and social supports, despite having the social capacity to do so. This results in a lack of support structures that are needed for coping and avoiding types of stress accrual that impacts all facets of daily life. Without access to capital generating networks that create emotional and instrumental support there is a lived experience of social separation and isolation. Overall, research results show that parents of children with disabilities face a lived experience significantly different from parents of neurotypical children and report that having support networks would increase emotional support and instrumental support.
