By Sean Ryan Updated Throughout the Offseason - Free Updates Included Are you tired of Fantasy Football magazines and draft guides recycling the same outdated content, the same sleepers, and the same fantasy football ranking tiers? That''s because they''re all using the same source: last year''s stats. Welcome to a smarter, more advanced draft strategy. I''m Sean Ryan, creator of the Fantasy Football Almanac. Like you, I once searched through endless Fantasy Football books, websites, and rankings only to find the same players overhyped and drafted too early. That''s when I realized: true success in fantasy football comes from understanding offensive schemes and how players will be used in 2025, not relying on last year''s data.

Have you noticed most 2020 Fantasy Football Magazines and Fantasy Football Books tend to recycle the same information, the same sleepers and the same tiers? This is because they''re all using the same information: last year''s stats! Last year''s stats won''t tell you how Mike McCarthy will utilize Ezekiel Elliot. They won''t tell you if Mark Rhule is going to keep feeding Christian McCaffrey the ball. But The 2020 Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide does! A few years ago, I was like everyone else. I scoured the Internet and Fantasy Football publications searching for any advantage I could find. I found myself reading 10-15 different books that all wound up telling me the same thing. Making things worse - they were telling all of my competition as well. That''s when "sleeper" picks become overhyped and over drafted. To avoid draft day misses, I knew I had to dig into the data. I knew I had to watch film and after a while, I cam to one undeniable truth: Fantasy Football success comes from knowing the offensive schemes and how a player''s talents will be used in an offense. This is why (as my Fantasy Football Book predicted) Lamar Jackson flourished in last year under Greg Roman''s coaching and Le''Veon Bell disappointed in Adam Gase''s offensive scheme). In fact, 7 of our 8 "Too Risky" picks were busts last season! Think about this. If all my Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide did was tell you about one sleeper who is so far forgotten you could draft him and start him in the last round, would it be worth it? My readers who picked up Darren Waller and Devin Singletary in the late rounds last year think so. Or if all this Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide did was keep you from using your draft day picks on season-long busts? This is more than a fantasy football magazine. It''s a fantasy football scouting agency. We blend next-gen sports analytics with good old fashion film study. I literally watch every single preseason game in order to properly calibrate this guide''s rankings throughout the offseason. That''s right, The Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide comes with FREE updates. You don''t have to pay $5 a month to access them. If you buy the book we tell you how to access them. Included Within: -300 detailed player writeups with three year statistical progression included -Instructions on how to interact with Sean throughout the offseason -Over half of the league has a new head coach or offensive coordinator. How does this impact fantasy potential? Sean''s shares insights based on film study and statistical analysis to project the impact of new offensive schemes. oWe''ve updated our algorithms to include play calling tendency of coaching staffs -Other guides use historical data to project their totals. The Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide is the only fantasy football magazine that utilizes scouting for future rankings. Simply put, our draft strategy is primed to maximize the value of every draft pick. -Defense and Kicker analysis has been completed to identify competitive advantage at these positions, which are commonly ignored -We''ve completed an easy to follow draft guide with useful tips for fantasy football rookies and fantasy football experts alike -Overall player "tiers" definition (which is more useful for draft strategy when playing in leagues with multiple team counts) -Expanded sleeper list that is rooted in scouting, coaching analysis and analytics. You won''t find these players in other guides! -Risky players list, which identifies popular players that carry risk, are over-drafted based on our analysis and/or carry significant bust potential -Fantasy Rankings for different league types: Points-per-Reception (PPR), Standard/non-PPR and Rookies (for Dynasty Leagues) -We track 2020 offseason movement, coaching changes and draft selections

Jake and Cole discovered that dog walking is more of an adventure than they expected!

As we approach a new generation of students entering college during the first time in history where multiple generations have to work together, the art of conversations is important more than ever. In order for cross-generation communication and success to occur, there has to be an understanding and willingness between generations to be vulnerable and rethink their egotism. Dive into Sean''s 7 steps on becoming a better conversationalist. Each chapter outlines different stories and information that, in my experience, allowed me to become a better conversationalist with my friends, students, and professionals. At the conclusion of each chapter are questions and writing activities I encourage you to do before reading the next chapter to help you reflect on your own experiences. In order to grow ourselves or our teams, we have to admit and recognize what our weaknesses are

The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and counselor trainees’ cognitive development. More specifically, this study explored the influence of resting HRV (rMSSD) on counselor trainees’ sustained attention (Continuous Performance Task), working memory (n-back Task) and cognitive performance on a practice NCMHCE exam. The study used descriptive and multivariate analyses to examine data collected from a sample of counselor trainees enrolled in a CACREP-accredited clinical mental health counseling program in the state of Ohio (N = 69). Additional exploratory analyses were conducted to enhance the understanding of the data. The analyses revealed two key findings that are the first of their kind in counselor education. First, group differences revealed that counselor trainees’ HRV is connected to cognitive complexity. An Analysis of Variance (ANVOVA) identified that high HRV levels (50.8ms and higher) were connected to faster reaction time (p

[Truncated abstract] In this thesis I explore the efforts by a group of young Indonesian hardcore punks to establish an autonomous community based on participatory ''Do It Yourself'' principles, as they strive to avoid the reduction of their cultural production to an assemblage of commodities for sale. I position my thesis as a critical engagement with the social theory and political practices of the anak DIY themselves. My argument draws primarily on the participant observation fieldwork I carried out with the Bandung DIY community, and particularly the DIY activists organised around the Kolektif Balai Kota (City Hall Collective), in 2004 and early 2005. Drawing on global anarcho-punk and DIY hardcore currents, these ''DIY kids'' (anak DIY) position themselves as critics of Bandung''s thriving underground music scene, which they perceive as having ''sold out'' to the commercial cultural industries. Indeed, while this scene has maintained a degree of independence from direct corporate ownership and control, it has increasingly been drawn into the capitalist logic of accumulation. More specifically, as the scene has developed into a small but significant youth-oriented fashion industry, the subcultural forms of independence, distinction, and resistance which characterise the underground have been transformed into a neoliberal form of competitive entrepreneurialism based on precarious cultural labour. Breaking with the spectacular subcultural transgression of the commercial underground, the anak DIY promote the values of kemandirian (autonomy) and komunitas (community) as a positive alternative to capitalist alienation. They seek to express and realise their values through their performances of DIY hardcore. DIY hardcore performances establish a positive synthesis between community participation and political critique and collapse the divide between performers and audience. However, the aesthetics of DIY hardcore display a degree of tension between sincere expression and ironic performance. I also identify an unresolved conflict between hardcore as a specific music genre and DIY as an ethic of practice. The specific aesthetics of hardcore serve as a vital vector for affective investment and identification, yet this renders the political practices of DIY production vulnerable to aestheticisation and commodification. I further analyse DIY hardcore as an autonomous practice of cultural production and exchange. The Bandung community is part of a global network of DIY enterprises, a system of social and economic relationships mediated through DIY hardcore products...

"Thanks to Harley Quinn''s secret contact on the outside, the Squad has faked their deaths, leaving Harley, Deadshot, Cheetah, and Diablo free to live life on their own terms--or so it seems. But by escaping both Waller and the walls of Belle Reve Prison, they may have dug their own graves. They''ve fallen into the clutches of the Fist of Cain, the insane death cult that helped them play dead--and who are now trying to make their ruse a reality"--

This case examines the dilemma of a SME located on an island on the West coast of Florida. The land was originally used for development of summer homes and evolved to a business of rental management of the units. Amenities including a swimming pool, tennis courts, a restaurant and snack bar, a store, and bicycle and golf cart rentals were added. A consultant determined The Resort''s positioning, in relationship to its competitive set, had been performing well in terms of occupancy level and ADR, but was declining in general business activity. Analysis of reservation data indicated that most of the market came from within Florida, which was a surprise to management, who realised they needed further research to understand how to effectively market the resort.

Updated June 11th and includes analysis of the Julio Jones Trade! Have you noticed most 2021 Fantasy Football Magazines and Fantasy Football Books tend to recycle the same information, the same sleepers and the same tiers? This is because they''re all using the same information: last year''s stats! Last year''s stats won''t tell you how Justin Herbert will acclimate to his new offense or what new head coach Arthur Smith or the trade of Julio Jones will impact the Falcons offense. A few years ago, I was like everyone else. I scoured the Internet and Fantasy Football publications searching for any advantage. I found myself reading 10-15 different books that all wound up telling me the same thing. Making things worse - they were telling all of my competition as well. That''s when "sleeper" picks become overhyped and over drafted. To avoid draft day misses, I knew I had to dig into the data. I knew I had to watch film and after a while, I came to realize Fantasy Football success comes from knowing the offensive schemes and how a player''s talents will be used in an offense. This is why (as my Fantasy Football Book predicted) Josh Allen flourished last year. Think about this. If all my Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide did was tell you about one sleeper who is so far forgotten you could draft him and start him in the last round, would it be worth it? My readers who picked up J.K. Dobbins and Antonio Gibson in the middle rounds last year certainly think so. Or if all this Fantasy Football Almanac and Draft Guide did was keep you from using your draft day picks on season-long busts? This is more than a fantasy football magazine.

Das Haus, (The House) is a story spanning almost seventy years, and is partially based on TRUE EVENTS as told to the author by our hero Erik Goldmann (Fictitious name) and the author''s father-in-law. At the request of Erik, many of the characters and locations were changed to protect the survivors of that long ago Holocaust known as World War II. It has become a NOVEL partially based on some true events. The setting is modern day, with flashbacks to WWII Germany. This book recounts the story of an American journalist''s attempt to investigate the resurgence of Fascism throughout the world, and especially in Germany. It is actually two books in one. The story switches back and forth from modern day to WWII. It shows how Fascism is still alive and well in Germany, Europe and even in the USA. It connects a modern day investigation, to the horrors of the past. Direct experiences by the author are incorporated into the novel, and make for an exciting personal adventure by our characters. Although many of the characters are real, it had to be written as a novel based on some true events. It is the amazing adventure of two young Jewish-German children growing up in an idyllic small village near the Belgium frontier. Their lives suddenly and forever changed by the "Night of the Crystal" and their detention in Buchenwald concentration camp. His eventual release and escape to America. How a brave young man, Erik, was given another chance to redeem himself by joining the American Army on December 8th, 1941. His amazing true adventure of fighting in North Africa, Sicily, Italy; landing at Normandy and fighting all the way across France, Belgium and surviving the "Battle of the Bulge." On February 25th, 1945 he was given command of an Army infantry unit, and allowed to liberate his own village six years after his deportation. The incredible circle of life was rejoined and completed. Unfortunately, he was the only Jewish survivor of his village. The spiritual quest for his family, and the rest of the Jews of Niedergeyer (Fictitious) eventually leads him to a meeting with the American journalist researching modern day Fascism. It is an exciting journey into hell and back again. A mixture of Schindler''s List and Saving Private Ryan.
