Draining Dixon: How Rita Crundwell Embezzled More Than $50 Million from Her Illinois Town

Book Description
Publication Date: June 18, 2013

I wonder if there are any quarter horses at the penitentiary.

The name "Dixon" rang a bell, but I just couldn't think of why. Then, it hit me. Dixon was Ronald Reagan's boyhood home (that fact I knew), he attended high school there (that fact I found out going to the Wikipedia article on Reagan just now). The Gipper wouldn't have liked what this Crudwell (yes, I know, it's actually "Crundwell") woman did. No siree.

It is not only true that this woman "stole from the town," she stole $50 million from the individual taxpaying people of the town over those 20 years.

Oh, thanks for the post, ATD.

SUPER Deal on a Highly-Rated Book for the Website Owners and Webmasters Among Us.

I'd been looking for a good book on Search Engine Optimization. Pay $40 or $50 for one from the Barnes and Noble or Books-A-Million store? I don't think so. It had to be an inexpensive one. And it doesn't get any more inexpensive than free.

SEO Like I'm 5: The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to Search Engine Optimization. By Matthew Capala, Steve Baldwin (editor). Rated 4 1/2 stars, from 53 reviews at the present moment. Print list price $29.99; digital list price $9.99; Kindle price $0.00. http://www.amazon.com/SEO-Like-Im-Be...e+Optimization.

Book Description
Make no mistake; this is no ‘SEO for dummies.’

Rather, SEO Like I’m 5 is the ultimate beginner’s training system for forward-thinking businesses and entrepreneurs that will get you found on Google, social media, and blogs.

You will also learn how to attract followers and leads like a magnet by building a vibrant community around your content, which both users and search engines will love, and leveraging untapped, high-growth platforms and social networks.

When it comes to SEO, you can spend all your time studying the roots, or you can just learn to pick the fruit. With the 2nd edition of “SEO Like I’m 5,” our approach lets you

SEO Like I am 5 brings "a refreshing look at SEO... In his recent book, Matthew Capala, emphasizes the need to learn and practice SEO...like it’s 2014. He explains effective SEO strategies in a way that doesn't require the advanced technical knowledge that can become a barrier for those that generally need it the most." Says Jonathan Cho, Managing Director, Head of Search and Social at Mindshare (a WPP company).

In addition to taking you through the strategic process of building and optimizing your online presence, SEO Like I’m 5 features hundreds of free tools, ‘under-the-hood’ hacks, case studies, examples, and actionable tips.

Why Read this Book?

There is an overload of information on the topic of SEO on the Web, most of it misguided or outdated, coming from self-proclaimed gurus.

Contrary to common knowledge, the ‘art of SEO’ is not defined by your ability to write code or hack Google’s algorithm. The truth is that today, online success has more to do with your ability to create amazing content, establish a strong social media presence, and build relationships with bloggers than writing lines of code or stuffing keywords into your meta data.

SEO Like I’m 5 takes you through an action-oriented, workshop-style, pain-free process to plan, build, and optimize your online presence, including:

- Where to start
- Which free platforms and tools to use
- How to build a search-friendly website
- How to build a killer content strategy
- How to become a rockstar blogger
- How to find the golden-nugget keyword opportunities
- How to monetize your website
- How to attract backlinks to your content
- How to build relationships with bloggers and influencers
- How to build a winning social media strategy
- How to make money online

Who is this Book for?

- Entrepreneurs and startups
- Forward-thinking small business owners
- Marketing executives who want to learn how to innovate like startups
- Students and professionals
- Authors, artists, and bloggers

The cool thing about SEO Like I’m 5 is that it offers more than just text. It comes with hundreds of screenshots and step-by-step instructions you can actually use while reading it.

The Battlefields of Germany, From the Outbreak of the Thirty Years' War to the Battle of Blenheim by G.B. Malleson

To the political history of the Thirty Years' War I have referred as little as was possible. My object has been rather to describe the battles and the events which led to those battles. Englishmen have, no doubt, read in their own language accounts of Leipzig (Breitenfeld) and of Lützen; but of Duke Bernhard's campaign in the valley of the Danube; of Banner's daring and all but successful raid upon Ratisbon; of that battle of Jankowitz which made possible the capture of Vienna; of the surprises of Tuttlingen and Mergentheim; of the battle of Zusmarshausen; of the closing scene of the Thirty Years' War, the splendid defence of Prague; of that Fehrbellin which was the turning point in the history of the Hohenzollerns; To resuscitate these battle-fields from the oblivion into which they had fallen, and to describe them in the English language, has been to me a labour of love.

Queen Elizabeth by Jacob Abbott

Elizabeth I changed the rules of the game and indeed she herself was changed by the game. She was a female monarch of England, a kingdom that had unceremoniously broken with the Catholic Church, and the Vatican and the rest of Christendom was baying for her blood. She had had commercial and militaristic enemies galore. In the end, she helped change the entire structure of female leadership.
Elizabeth was the last Tudor sovereign, the daughter of the cruel and magnificent King Henry VIII and a granddaughter of the Tudor House's founder, the shrewd Henry VII. Elizabeth, hailed as "Good Queen Bess," "Gloriana" and "The Virgin Queen" to this day in the public firmament, would improve upon Henry VIII's successes and mitigate his failures, and despite her own failings would turn out to "have the heart and stomach of a king, and a king of England too". Indeed, that was the phrase she would utter in describing herself while exhorting her troops to fight for England against the Spanish Armada).
Elizabeth often has been featured in biographies that were more like hagiographies, glossing over her fits of temper, impatience and other frailties. It is fair to say, however, that she had also inherited her grandfather's political acumen and her father's magnificence, thus creating not just one of the most colourful courts in Europe but also one of the most effective governments in English history.

Jacob Abbott was a well-known 19th century historian who wrote biographies on various leaders and famous individuals, including this one about Queen Elizabeth I of England.

Life and Death in Shanghai. By Nien Cheng. Rated 4 1/2 stars, from 239 reviews at the present moment. Print list price $18.00; digital list(?) price $8.00; Kindle price now $1.99. HarperCollins Publishers, publisher. 562 pages. http://www.amazon.com/Life-Death-Sha.../dp/B004FGMSGO.

Book Description
<snip>
A first-hand account of China's cultural revolution. Nien Cheng, an anglophile and fluent English-speaker who worked for Shell in Shanghai under Mao, was put under house arrest by Red Guards in 1966 and subsequently jailed. All attempts to make her confess to the charges of being a British spy failed; all efforts to indoctrinate her were met by a steadfast and fearless refusal to accept the terms offered by her interrogators. When she was released from prison she was told that her daughter had committed suicide. In fact Meiping had been beaten to death by Maoist revolutionaries.
