New Statistics Textbook Written by First African American Female Ph.D. in Statistics
According to Nation’s Report Card, “Despite the significant investments into the American educational system, there isn’t a single category where students are at or above being NAEP proficient in the United States. Only three categories are above 40%: Grade 12 economics (42%), Grade 4 Mathematics (41%), and Grade 8 STEM literacy (46%).”
Lecture halls across Universities will benefit from Dr. Griesinger’s approach to teaching statistics through a five-part interactive textbook with engaging course materials to reinforce key concepts. Key concepts include; 12 sets of flashcards, 12 skill-builder activities, additional reading, and resources.
Part I: Overview of both statistics & R.
Part II: Descriptive statistics & probability
Part III: Discrete & continuous probability distributions
Part IV: Statistical inference
Part V: Explores additional statistical inference and assumptions.
As the lead author, Dr. Nancy L. Griesinger, Ph.D., is the first African-American woman to receive a Doctorate of Philosophy in Statistics from Rice University. Dr. Griesinger is a passionate statistician, educator, researcher, and mentor. She has dedicated her career to educating students for over 20 years. In addition, Griesinger founded Mobile Math, LLC, a full-service tutoring and consulting firm focusing on mathematics, statistics, STEM degree consulting, and refresher math courses.
The company also offers thesis and dissertation consulting for students who want one-on-one help completing their degrees. Mobile Math, LLC instructors have years of experience in mathematics and have completed their Bachelor, Master, or Ph. D. in the subject areas they teach. Dr. Griesinger’s mission is clear, “We are dedicated to our clients and ensure they understand everything before moving forward with their studies to reach their desired career path. We need more people in the STEM fields because there is an increasing demand for people with technological skills. We need more people in the STEM to fill the growing number of jobs requiring technological know-how, such as coding. If we don’t have enough people in the STEM field, we won’t be able to fill all of these jobs, leading to a shortage of workers,” Dr. Griesinger said.
Also, having more people in STEM can help increase diversity and inclusion in tech industries. For example, having more women and minorities working as coders will help create a more diverse workforce at companies making products using coding techniques.
STEM professionals are essential to the growth and development of our economy. STEM career professionals are the people who develop new technologies that drive innovation, create new products, and improve how we do everything from travel to communication. Fostering the next generation of STEM professionals is one of the reasons Dr. Griesinger and her team created a new view of teaching and learning statistics.

Ex-XM Executive’s Memoir Recalls Satellite Radio Launch Delayed by 9/11
Balle Balle Radio™ Entertainment Desk
Twenty-five years after the September 11 attacks postponed its debut, a founding XM executive has released a memoir about the satellite radio company’s launch. "They Pay for Water: Building XM Satellite Radio from a Paper Concept to Millions of Subscribers," by Dan Murphy, went on sale August 17 in ebook, paperback and hardcover, according to the announcement.
The company was set to launch its inaugural U.S. satellite radio service on September 12, 2001, in the Dallas/Fort Worth and San Diego markets. Murphy and the executive team flew out of Washington, D.C. in the early morning hours of September 11, per the announcement. The launch was pushed back, going live September 25 and expanding nationally by that November.
After joining Sony as a 24-year-old with minimal prior experience, Murphy spent 15 years helping to capitalize, build, and launch XM’s satellite infrastructure, create its receivers, and establish distribution channels in retail and automotive sectors., the announcement states. "After Walkman, Discman, I was looking to join the next big audio innovation when a recruiter called," Murphy said. "It sounded perfect. It was going to be radio the way it should be."
The volume addresses the company’s funding rounds, satellite deployment, distribution challenges across retail and automotive channels, programming strategy, customer economics, multiple Chapter 11 threats, and its ultimate acquisition by Sirius., according to the announcement. "We had spent years getting ready for the biggest launch of our careers, and then the country stopped," Murphy said. "For weeks afterward, I did not know whether anyone would still care about satellite radio."
Positioned as both corporate history and personal narrative, the book targets audiences seeking insight into the construction of major consumer-facing ventures requiring substantial capital investment. โ a framing the announcement ties to ongoing debates in the audio industry over subscription economics. It is Murphy’s first book and is available now on Amazon.

‘SALIGIA’ Inverts the Seven Deadly Sins: New Book Explores Virtues Through Mythological Fantasy
Balle Balle Radio Entertainment Desk
Author Tagore Almeida’s new book, “SALIGIA: The Evil Is Outside. The War Is Within.,” is now available on Amazon, according to the announcement promoting the release.
The title is not invented for the book. SALIGIA is a centuries-old Latin mnemonic device used in Christian theology to remember the seven deadly sins: Superbia (pride), Avaritia (greed), Luxuria (lust), Invidia (envy), Gula (gluttony), Ira (wrath) and Acedia (sloth). The sins themselves never appear as an explicit list in the Bible; the grouping developed within early Christian tradition, drawing on scattered biblical passages, and the acronym became a memory aid for clergy and laypeople alike. The announcement itself does not spell out this connection, though it’s central to how the book’s central conceit works.
Where the traditional mnemonic catalogs vices, Almeida’s book inverts it: according to the announcement, the story is structured as a journey through a symbolic ancestral dwelling with separate rooms, each embodying different virtues rather than sins โ courage, compassion, humility, integrity, forgiveness, reverence and love. Other promotional material describes the book as a mythological fantasy following characters named Salem and Medea on a quest against the forces the title names, and credits the release to publisher The Alcove Publishers, which has described the book as blending mythology, self-reflection and mystery.
The announcement frames the project as “a fusion of mythological elements, spiritual themes, philosophical inquiry, and personal exploration,” built around the idea that readers already possess the virtues the book examines, rather than seeking them from external sources.
The book is currently listed for sale on Amazon under Almeida’s author page.
