Richard D. Cramer has been doing baseball analytics for just about as long as anyone alive, even before the term “sabermetrics” existed. He started analyzing baseball statistics as a hobby in the mid-1960s, not long after graduating from Harvard and MIT. He was a research scientist for SmithKline and in his spare time used his work computer to test his theories about baseball statistics. One of his earliest discoveries was that clutch hitting—then one of the most sacred pieces of received wisdom in the game—didn’t really exist. In When Big Data Was Small Cramer recounts his life and remarkable contributions to baseball knowledge.
In 1971 Cramer learned about the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) and began working with Pete Palmer, whose statistical work is credited with providing the foundation on which SABR is built. Cramer cofounded STATS Inc. and began working with the Houston Astros, Oakland A’s, Yankees, and White Sox, with the help of his new Apple II computer.
Yet for Cramer baseball was always a side interest, even if a very intense one for most of the last forty years. His main occupation, which involved other “big data” activities, was that of a chemist who pioneered the use of specialized analytics, often known as computer-aided drug discovery, to help guide the development of pharmaceutical drugs. After a decade-long hiatus, Cramer returned to baseball analytics in 2004 and has done important work with Retrosheet since then. When Big Data Was Small is the story of the earliest days of baseball analytics and computer-aided drug discovery.

Scott's heart is all over these pages. He masterfully uses the art of story to inspire his readers to see the hope beyond their pain, provision beyond their inadequacy, and love even in their darkest hours. Everyone has a story and this book will leave you wanting to share yours. -Carey Nieuwhof, Founding Pastor, Connexus Church and author of Didn't See It Coming
We all love a good story. We love listening to stories. We love telling stories. Stories engage our imagination, fuel our emotions and move us to action. Stories can build bridges between multiple generations. Maybe the reason we feel like we are unable to shape and influence those around us is because we've silenced our story with "The End" where God wants us to tell the story of our "And then...." So, what's your story? Where have you settled for "The End" in your life? What if instead of settling, "The End" of your story becomes the beginning of your greatest "And then..."?
This book will inspire you to not just tell better stories but to never stop sharing your story.

Описание:
Mark Cramer is at his happiest in the dim light of the off-track betting parlor, where the flickering glow of the racetrack monitors dances to the low, steady rumble of the race caller's voice. You'd feel the same if you knew what Cramer knows about thoroughbred handicapping
After years of research, observation, and ups and downs at the track, Mark Cramer has devised the most reliable system for tracking and predicting a horse's performance cycles in the history of the sport. In fact, Thoroughbred Cycles is the definitive work on the subject of thoroughbred form, a volume unrivaled in scope, clarity, and precision. By framing a given horse's performance as a group of histories-histories of the horse, jockey, trainer, and handicapper-the form-cycle approach to handicapping allows the horseplayer to take advantage of fluctuations in performance. In stark contrast to the other inconsistently-successful systems of projection for racehorse performance cycles, Cramer's method draws on specific aspects of a horse's performance history to yield statistically probable projections about their future performance fluctuations.
Studded with engaging anecdotes that punctuate Cramer's clear and illuminating explanations of method, Thoroughbred Cycles is an entertaining, appealing, and educational read. We're happy to say that Mark's years of hard work and number crunching have paid off big time For in the pages of this book you'll find the solution to the mysteries of form that have stumped horseplayers and fans for decades.
There are a number of reasons a woman may choose online submission. It's a good way to ease into the community by making friends and observing other people at a safe distance. Creating an online persona allows women to keep their real names and identifiers private. This not only helps maintain physical safety but also gives her the freedom to talk about sexual fantasies and naughty ideas without fearing judgment from other people or consequences on the job.
Online submission also allows for a sexual experience rooted in the world of fantasy. A woman can take on any role or persona she wants, and perform acts she would not be willing or able to do in real life. She can express emotion, devotion and talk as dirty as she likes without feeling self-conscious or uncomfortable. While the scenarios sometimes described in online submission can be pure fantasy (seemingly endless sexual romps with multiple orgasms and no pain or soreness), the feelings of lust, love, loyalty, friendship, and arousal are all very real and can be a part of a vibrant sexual life.
This Submissive Training guide will take you into the world of online submission, along with safety protocols and techniques for making the digital fantasy a physical reality. You will also learn how to make the transition from online submission to a real life meeting.
