Ulysses S Grant, besides being the General-in-Chief of the Union
armies at the time of the Union victory in the American Civil War,
was also President, 1869-1878, at a time when the United States was
undergoing significant transformations, both economically and
strategically, and growing in confidence as a world power. At the
same time, Japan, following the Meiji Restoration of 1868, was
seeking to join the ranks of the developed, read exclusively
Western, states. This book explores the interaction of Grant with
Meiji Japan, compares and contrasts developments in the two
countries and assesses the impact each country had on the other. It
discusses the travels of the Iwakura Mission in the United States,
considers Grant's 1879 visit to Japan and examines the personal
relationship between Grant, the Meiji emperor and the other leaders
of the Meiji government. The book argues that Grant's thoughtful
consideration of the key issues of the day, issues common to many
countries at the time, and his suggested policy responses had a
huge impact on Meiji Japan.

In this revised & updated edition of his bestselling book
Winning Money, Patrick Austin expands on and adds to his already
proven strategies that can be used in casinos worldwide and for
online betting & gambling. Now, you too can share in the
secrets that Cracked the Roulette Wheel. How many times in a row
can you flip a quarter and make it go heads? Maybe four or five?
This is a very difficult task because in reality, a streak of four
or five heads in row just does not occur very often. Simply put,
Patrick's systems capitalize upon the probabilities of long
streaks, just like flipping a quarter. In Cracking the Roulette
Wheel, Patrick will show you the exact steps you need to play these
systems including: * How to methodically generate potential profits
in excess of $200 per hour. * The amount of money suggested to use.
* The proper and disciplined betting sequences and when to jump in
on a streak. * How many hours you will want to play to maximize
your profits and lower your risks. * How to take advantage of all
of the complimentary services that casinos offer "high rollers."
These are not traditional, basic betting sequences that have been
tried and failed for decades nor a "Get Rich Quick Scheme" but
rather a scientific, methodical approach to success. Patrick's
systems are based on statistics and numbers, and are the key
reasons why his systems work.
