  A personal account of what it means to become a gardener. 
  To make her new house in Connecticut truly feel like home, Catie Marron decided to create a garden. But while she was familiar with landscape design, she had never grown anything. A dedicated reader with a lifelong passion for literature, Marron turned to the library of gardening books she’d collected to glean advice from a variety of writers on gardening and horticultural topics both grand and small.  
  Marron’s quest to become a gardener, however, was about more than learning the basics about mulch or which plants work best in the shade. She sought something far more elusive: to identify the core qualities and characteristics that make a person a gardener and an understanding of what a garden could mean to her as it had to multitudes of other gardeners over the centuries. 
  In Becoming a Gardener, Catie Marron chronicles her transformation into a gardener over the course of eighteen months, seeding the details of her experience with rich advice from writers as diverse as Eleanor Perényi and Karel Capek, Penelope Lively, and Jamaica Kincaid. As she digs deeper into her readings and works in the garden itself, Marron not only discovers the essence of gardening but in the words of Michael Pollan, “the endlessly engrossing ways that cultivating a garden attaches a body to the earth.” 
  A delightful blend of informed opinion, personal reflection, and practical advice, Becoming a Gardener explores topics as varied as the composition of dirt, the agricultural wisdom of avid kitchen gardeners George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, the healing power of digging in the soil, and the beauty of finding solitude in nature. Throughout, Marron carefully plants special illustrated features, such as musings on the merits (and detriments) of the rose, essential tools, moonlight gardening, children’s books which feature gardens, and her favorite gardens around the world. Also included is an annotated list of recommended writers, books, and films related to gardens and gardening, and a monthly to-do calendar. 
  Becoming a Gardener is a very special and moving portrait of life and the enduring power of literature and nature that is sure to become an instant classic.

  A bestselling author helps readers find radical joy in a world full of constant comparison by accepting that life is a wild ride and happiness fluctuates with our circumstances. Happiness is considered a destination, but the finish line is constantly moving—when we get married, find that dream job, move away from home, have a baby, build a dream house, etc. We are promised that a happy life is tied to these milestones.  But what if society has it wrong? What if happiness isn't the goal at all?  With her trademark candor and hilarious storytelling, MK paints a picture of a different life—one bursting with a force that is far more sustainable and vibrant: joy. Crazy Joy will help readers:  1.    Identify and reject ridiculous expectations that society has placed on their lives.  2.    Liberate their hearts from the comparison prison and feel content in their current circumstances.  3.    View themselves, inside and out, as the masterpiece creations they are.  4.    Find joy (and dare we say, laughter!) in the middle of life's biggest messes.  Witty and refreshingly honest, MK invites her readers to embark on a counter-cultural journey toward a life filled to the brim with contentment, humor, and most importantly, Crazy Joy.

  POKER MATH - Mastering the...

  In the game of poker, the two most fundamental mathematical ideas are known as probability and odds. Players who have a solid grasp of these ideas will be more equipped to make intelligent choices while competing. The possibility that an event will take place is referred to as its probability, and odds are defined as the proportion of the probability that an event will take place relative to the probability that it will not take place. 
  When playing poker, players must determine their odds and calculate probability in order to determine whether or not they will win a hand. For instance, a player who already has a pair of aces has a 4.2% chance of hitting another ace on the flop, turn, or river of the hand they are playing. The odds of getting another ace are 22.5 to 1, which indicates that a player will get another ace once for every 23 times they have a pair of aces. In other words, the odds of getting another ace are 1 in 23. 
  Players are able to make better decisions at the table by improving their ability to calculate odds and probabilities. If a player has a flush draw, for instance, they can determine their chances of getting a flush by counting the number of cards that are still in the deck that will complete their flush. This allows them to calculate their odds of hitting a flush. On the turn or the river, the player has a 19.1% probability of hitting their flush if there are nine cards left in the deck that will complete the flush. 
  Another essential idea in poker mathematics is the concept of expected value, abbreviated EV. The expected value, or EV, of a bet is the amount of money that a player can anticipate winning or losing on average over the course of a long session.
