The G.O.A.T Sports Blog created by James Church. I'm from a town in Southwest Virginia. I am inspiring to get into the sports field doing things from blogs, podcast, articles, analysis, and coaching. I started this blog in October 2016 and continuing to branch it out to different ventures. I went from starting on sportsblog.com to creating my own domain. Eventually I will transition this into a website of my own instead of on blogger.com. I currently have a podcast, blog, twitter, facebook page, and ebook. This is the first ebook which is my blog in review for 2016 which will be at a cheap price. Currently I'm working on another ebook about the greatest sports players of all time in each individual sports. It will surprise some people who I pick in each sport, but I am breaking it down by numbers instead of perception. Below are my links so check them out: Blog: www.baller1515.comPodcast: https: //soundcloud.com/baller1515-thegoatpodcastFacebook: www.facebook.com/baller1515Twitter: @ChurchAaronE-Book: The G.O.A.T Sports Blog 2016 - Year in Review

The mysterious Inspector O is once again drawn into a web of concessions and cover-ups in the newest mystery from critically acclaimed author James Church.Autumn brings unwelcome news to Inspector O: wrenched from retirement, he has been ordered to Pyongyang for an assignment. The two Koreas are now cooperating--very quietly--to maintain stability in the North. Stability requires compromise; stability requires peace; stability requires that O investigate a crime of passion committed by the young man who has been selected as the best leader of a transition government. O is instructed to make sure the case goes away. Then he learns that several groups-remnants of the old regime, foreign powers, rival gangs-all want a piece of the action, and all make clear that if O values his life, he will not get in their way. O isn't sure where his loyalties lie, and he doesn't have much time to figure out whether 'tis better to be noble or be dead.Once again, James Church's spare, lyrical writing illuminates an unfamiliar landscape of whispers and shadows, a place few outsiders have ever experienced. The Man with the Baltic Stare is a chilling, atmospheric noir-a fascinating response to the works of Martin Cruz Smith and John Le Carre.

"On the surface, A Corpse in the Koryo is a crackling good mystery novel, filled with unusual characters involved in a complex plot that keeps you guessing to the end."---Glenn Kessler, The Washington Post One of Publishers Weekly Top 100 Books of 2006One of Booklist's Best Genre Fiction of 2006One of the Chicago Tribune's best mystery/thrillers of 2006Sit on a quiet hillside at dawn among the wildflowers; take a picture of a car coming up a deserted highway from the south. Simple orders for Inspector O, until he realizes they have led him far, far off his department's turf and into a maelstrom of betrayal and death. North Korea's leaders are desperate to hunt down and eliminate anyone who knows too much about a series of decade's-old kidnappings and murders---and Inspector O discovers too late he has been sent into the chaos. This is a world where nothing works as it should, where the crimes of the past haunt the present, and where even the shadows are real. Author James Church weaves a story with beautifully spare prose and layered descriptions of a country and a people he knows by heart after decades as an intelligence officer. ". . . an outstanding crime novel. . . . a not-to-be-missed reading experience. " ---Library Journal (starred)"Inspector O is completely believable and sympathetic . . . The writing is superb, too . . . richly layered and visually evocative."---Booklist (starred)". . . an impressive debut that calls to mind such mystery thrillers as Martin Cruz Smith's Gorky Park. . . ." ---Publishers Weekly (starred)

Data analysis is a part of computer science and part statistics. An important part of data analysis is validating your assumptions with real-world data to see if there is a pattern or a particular user behavior that you can validate. This book will help you get up to speed with the basics of data analysis and approaches in the Haskell language.

When the wife of a North Korean diplomat in Pakistan dies under suspicious circumstances, O is told to investigate, with a curious provison: Don't look too closely at the details, and stay away from the question of missiles. O finds himself on a trail that leads from Pyongyang to the streets of New York and the shores of Lake Geneva.

"Hidden Moon reads more like a spy novel by a Korean Kafka. Final word: Fascinating." -Rocky Mountain News In A Corpse in the Koryo, James Church introduced readers to one of the most unique detectives to appear on page in years---the elusive Inspector O. The stunning mystery was named one of the best mystery/thrillers of 2006 by the Chicago Tribune for its beautifully spare prose and layered descriptions of a terrain Church knows by heart. And now the Inspector is back. In Hidden Moon, Inspector O returns from a mission abroad to find his new police commander waiting at his office door. There has been a bank robbery---the first ever in Pyongyang---and the commander demands action, and quickly. But is this urgency for real? Somewhere, someone in the North Korean leadership doesn't want Inspector O to complete his investigation. And why not? What if the robbery leads to the highest levels of the regime? What if power, not a need for cash, is the real reason behind the heist at the Gold Star Bank? Given a choice, this isn't a trail a detective in the Pyongyang police would want to follow all the way to the end, even a trail marked with monogrammed silk stockings. "I'm not sure I know where the bank is," is O's laconic observation as the warning bells go off in his head. A Scottish policeman sent to provide security for a visiting British official, a sultry Kazakh bank manager, and a mournful fellow detective all combine to put O in the middle of a spiderweb of conspiracies that becomes more tangled, and dangerous, the more he pulls on the threads. Once again, as he did in A Corpse in the Koryo, James Church opens a window onto a society where nothing is quite as it seems. The story serves as the reader's flashlight, illuminating a place that outsiders imagine is always dark and too far away to know. Church's descriptions of the country and its people are spare and starkly beautiful; the dialogue is lean, every thought weighed and measured before it is spoken. Not a word is wasted, because in this place no one can afford to be misunderstood. Praise for Hidden Moon:"The book's often sharp repartee is reminiscent of Raymond Chandler's dialogue, while the corrupt North Korean bureaucracy provides an exotic but entirely convincing noir backdrop. . . . Like Marlowe and Spade before him, Inspector O navigates the shadows and, every now and then, finds truth in the half-light." -The Wall Street Journal"[Hidden Moon] . . . is like nothing else I've ever read. Church creates an utterly convincing, internally consistent world of the absurd where orders mean the opposite of what they say and paperwork routinely gets routed to oblivion." -Hallie Ephron, The Boston Globe "Church uses his years of intelligence work to excellent advantage here, delivering one duplicitous plot twist after another . . . the author's affection for the landscape and people of Korea is abundantly evident. [A] stunning conclusion." -The Washington Post"...the real pleasure of Hidden Moon is its conversations, loaded down with layers of secrecy and suspicion that surface words are meaningless in the face of buried intention. Thanks to Church, mystery readers are learning about the minds and hearts of North Koreans--and putting a human face on a world so far away." --The Baltimore SunCritical Acclaim for A Corpse in the Koryo:"A Corpse in the Koryo is a crackling good mystery novel, filled with unusual characters involved in a complex plot that keeps you guessing to the end." --Glenn Kessler, The Washington Post"The best unclassified account of how North Korea works and why it has survived . . . This novel should be required bedtime reading for President Bush and his national security team." --Peter Hayes, executive director of the Nautilus Institute for Security and Sustainable Development"A new offering that reminds you of why you started reading mysteries and thrillers in the first place." --Chicago Tribune"What's perhaps most remarkable---and appealing---about A Corpse in the Koryo is the tremendously clever complexity (and deceptions) of the plot. The reader is left to marvel at the author's ability to keep his readers on their intellectual toes for almost three hundred pages. We can only hope that Church has many more novels up his sleeve." --Tampa Tribune"An impressive debut that calls to mind such mystery thrillers as Martin Cruz Smith's Gorky Park." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)"In Inspector O, the author has crafted a complex character with rough charm to spare, and in eternally static North Korea, he has a setting that will fascinate readers for sequels to come." --Time magazine (Asia edition)
