The Lipocaloric Diet: Your Transformative Path to Optimal Health and Wellness is a comprehensive guide to embracing a healthier lifestyle and achieving optimal health. This book will equip you with the knowledge and tools you need to embark on a journey of profound transformation, one that extends beyond weight loss and encompasses holistic well-being. At the heart of the Lipocaloric Diet lies the concept of nutrient density, a powerful approach to eating that prioritizes nutrient-rich foods while minimizing calorie intake. By focusing on whole, unprocessed foods, you provide your body with the essential nutrients it needs to function optimally, while simultaneously reducing the consumption of empty calories that can lead to weight gain and chronic health issues. The Lipocaloric Diet is not merely a restrictive diet; it is a holistic approach to well-being that encompasses physical, mental, and emotional health. This book will teach you how to incorporate regular physical activity, effective stress management techniques, and mindful living practices into your daily routine, creating a synergistic effect that promotes overall well-being and enhances your quality of life.

Among all the Fallen, Taylor's appetites are among the most intense and darkest. He is the most dangerous seducer because he lost his wings due to his blatant seductions, leaving him eternal and without soul. He has wandered the planet for what seems like forever, hunting the outlaws among his kind and defending the people who give him blood. Until one woman changes everything in the course of one night, Taylor is content with his existence and the fleeting joys that flow through it. Layla possesses intelligence, beauty, and wealth. The moment she sees the dangerously attractive Taylor, she knows he's the man she wants, even though she can have any man she wants. An enemy from Taylor's past sees an opportunity for revenge, and one steamy night becomes far deeper and zestier than either of them anticipated. She will steal from Taylor what was stolen from her, the invaluable gift of love, bent by scorn. GRAB A COPY OF THIS BOOK !!

This book contains a selection of stories written over the last few years. They are an eclectic mix of genres: detective fiction, romance, ghost stories, the weird, wonderful and sometimes very odd to name but a few. There is also a short section of stories written in the Flash Fiction style. These are short and sweet and contain no more than 500 words.The book begins with a story conceived after a visit to the Cleeve Abbey ruins near Watchet in North Somerset. It was a day of sun and showers and the shadows that were cast across the many buildings hid a story that had to be told. It was a day full of atmosphere; the countryside around enveloping the old ruins, and ghosts were abroad. Time stood still as the ideas came to me. It is a lovely place to visit. The church is long gone but the buildings, where the monks lived and worked, ate and slept are still there, ready to tell their own stories. You will not regret the time you spend at Cleeve Abbey.The book ends with a couple of stories with Detective Inspector Alexis Longbow as the main character. Alexis is my detective who features in the Alexis Longbow Murder Mystery series. As they don't quite fit into the style of the full-length Alexis Longbow books, I thought that the reader would appreciate a gentle introduction to Alexis in these stories. I hope the reader enjoys this mix of stories. Have fun!

This book introduces you to the field of relational database development and usage. There are many good books in this field. This book is different. It covers the basics so that beginners can read cover to cover. It is not a book for all levels of readers. For example, this book uses Microsoft SQL Server and Transact-SQL (or T-SQL). It will not mention the different dialect of Oracle or MySQL. If you are interested in Oracle or MySQL, you should use a different book. If you learned SQL Server from this book at your institution and you need to use other DBMS in your future job, the knowledge is only one Google away. This is not a reference book. For example, there are multiple ways to use aliases in T-SQL, but we only use one way. We believe that it is pretty easy to know different ways of using aliases once you finish this book. Why introduce all the different ways of using aliases for the first timer?This book is also unique with over 100 SQL examples and exercises. Most of these examples and exercises are paired. Readers learn one SQL example and can find a corresponding SQL exercise. We believe you have to write the codes in order to show you understood this book. You won't complete this book in 24 hours or 7 days.Even though the book is simple, by the end of the book, readers will be able to apply the knowledge learned to real world projects. We include one project with the detailed process of developing the database and the SQL examples of using the database. This book also includes three case studies readers can practice. This book uses a custom database which is simple with very limited data. The advantage of this approach is that you can manually find the solution before you write the SQL statement (Appendix 2 provides all data of the database). For example, if the question asks for the highest priced deliveries product, you can manually go to Appendix 2 of the book and find the product before you write the SQL statement.Please use Amazon's preview to take a look of the book before purchasing.

Welcome to "Advanced Transact-SQL," the sequel to my first book, "Relational Database and Transact SQL." For those who've journeyed through the initial volume, you're well-prepared to explore the depths of transact-SQL in this advanced edition.In this book, we not only delve into the intricacies of advanced SQL statement syntax but also ensure your understanding through extensive examples and practical exercises. To solidify your knowledge and test your grasp of the concepts, we've included over 400 multiple-choice questions for your review and self-assessment.

This is the second book on transact-SQL. I assume the readers have completed my first book entitled "Relational Database and transact SQL". In addition to cover the syntax for advanced SQL statements, this book provides plenty of examples and exercises.

This beginner-friendly textbook on data analytics is designed to quickly immerse readers in the world of Python programming and its applications in data analysis. While we assume a basic familiarity with programming languages, relational databases, and statistics, the book caters to learners of all backgrounds.The main focus of the book is to equip data analysts with essential knowledge and skills, guiding them through Python fundamentals and gradually delving into advanced topics like time series and regression analysis. A special emphasis is placed on the practical implementation of concepts using the powerful Python library, Pandas.Throughout the book, we utilize simple datasets in most chapters, allowing readers to grasp the inner workings of tools and techniques. However, in the final chapter, we present real-world datasets to expose learners to the challenges and complexities of actual data scenarios, encouraging further skill development and problem-solving abilities.Key topics covered include Python syntax, data loading, cleaning, preparation, aggregation, visualization, time series analysis, and regressions. Our teaching philosophy revolves around active learning, and to facilitate this, we provide numerous code examples for readers to practice. Additionally, the book includes a comprehensive set of 669 review questions that encompass both conceptual understanding and coding proficiency.By the end of this journey, readers will have gained a solid foundation in data analytics and Python, empowering them to apply their newfound knowledge to real-world challenges with confidence.
