Sinossi

The pioneers of Mill Creek Canyon in the San Bernardino Mountains were visionaries, eccentrics and adventurers. Daniel Sexton married a Native American wife hoping to gain the secret to a mine, while Peter Forsee, a world-weary sheriff, married a widow who was sheltering two outlaw sons. Sylvanus Thurman's burros carried travelers into the wild and sometimes took them for a wild ride. George Burris didn't find gold, but his marble discovery built mansions. D. Rhea Igo created roadside attractions, and Louie Torrey left the city to farm the forest, creating a paradise for his family and others. Join author Shannon Wray as she explores the colorful lives of those who left an indelible mark on Mill Creek Canyon.

    The Dictionary of Posh serves as an essential guide to the (ab)use of many English words by the decidedly up-market and the resultant — and endangered — language they speak: Posh.
    
    Hugh Kellett hilariously captures the spirit and nuances of those who speak Posh and, allied with Oliver Preston's brilliantly accurate cartoons, this book is the key to understanding and interpreting this language ?— literally with tongue-in-cheek.
    
    Hidden within normal English is a separate language still spoken by those born with silver spoons in their mouths. It's called Posh. A word of English can be spelt the same but mean something completely different in Posh. If you say the word 'Mention' in English, people will understand 'Remark upon'; but in Posh this means a large house. Say 'Ace' and speakers of Posh will think you are referring to a cold thing one's butler puts in one's G&T.

    The Hindsight Bias - The...

    Hindsight bias, often referred to as the "knew-it-all-along" effect, is the cognitive phenomenon in which people perceive past events as having been more predictable than they actually were. After an event has occurred, individuals tend to believe they foresaw the outcome, even though there was no reasonable way to predict it at the time. This bias can distort our memories, judgments, and perceptions, leading us to think that we knew the outcome of a situation from the very beginning, even though the reality is quite different. 
    At its core, hindsight bias is rooted in how our brains process information. Once an event unfolds and its outcome is known, our minds tend to reconstruct our memories of the past to fit that outcome, making it appear as though we were more certain of the result all along. This creates a false sense of understanding and control, making it easier for us to believe that we could have anticipated the event, despite evidence to the contrary. It is a natural byproduct of how we seek coherence and meaning in our experiences, often bending the facts to align with our current understanding. 
    The implications of hindsight bias are vast and far-reaching, impacting a wide range of areas, including decision-making, learning, and judgment. In personal and professional contexts, it can lead to overconfidence, as individuals feel that they are more skilled at predicting outcomes than they truly are. This overconfidence can cloud judgment and hinder growth, as it prevents people from acknowledging mistakes or learning from their missteps. In legal contexts, it can distort the perception of whether certain decisions or actions were reasonable at the time they were made, often leading to unjust conclusions and unfair blame.
