Mathematical Reasoning books by Bright Minds
Adapted from the publisher's website:
Bridges the gap between computation and mathematical reasoning. These books emphasize problem solving and computation. The books use step-by-step, discussion-based problem solving to develop a conceptual bridge between computation and the reasoning required for upper-level math. Activities and units spiral slowly.
There are many websites selling these same books. See for example Mathematical Reasoning series at CriticalThinking.com. Pricing: $29.69 to $38.69 depending on level. Answer guides $13.99 each.
Review of Mathematical Reasoning

My daughter was in the extension class in a public primary school. We started working on this book during the end-of-school-year holiday (after Grade 5 finished before Grade 6 started), preparing her for the selective high school entrance test that happens at the beginning of Grade 6.
Why you liked/didn't like the book:
We liked this book (we only used book 2). It indeed teaches reasoning skills, instead of just giving questions, as a normal workbook would do.
This books only have questions, it uses incremental questions to explain a math concept.
It covers many basic topics in primary maths. One or two pages (3 to 8 questions each page) are dedicated to one topic, sometimes three pages. But I wish there were more.
Book 2 is for Grade 5 and 6. Almost all of the questions seemed to be easy. But when I checked the teacher's manual, I found there was more to teach apart from just giving the answers. The teacher's manual is a must to use this book. The teacher's manual explains the key teaching point of the concept hidden in each the question.
We sat together and worked every problem out. We looked at the example problem together than she worked on the rest of the problems on the same page by herself. As she was working through the page I checked her answers against the teacher's book and corrected her mistakes straightaway before we moved on to the next page.
Overall we liked the book. It teaches more than just being a workbook. We just wish there were more questions under each topic.
Any other helpful hints:
This is not a independent workbook. The parent need to sit with the child working together on this book.
The teacher's book is very very helpful and I would have missed some key teaching points if I didn't have the teacher's book.
This book can be a supplementary to your normal math curriculum.

Marti Peterson told her kids one day that she was a spy working for the CIA – and it’s all true, and all captured in her book “The Widow Spy”
Marti Peterson worked for the CIA in Russia in the late 1970s….she told her family about it nearly 20 years later. Her book, “The Widow Spy” tells her tale of international espionage, while raising a family.
CNN’s new Original Series “Declassified” is telling the untold stories of American spies, and one of them, Marti Peterson, joined us on The Carney Show today, to talk about what it was like to be a spy in Cold War Russia, and when and where was the appropriate time to tell your kids what you do for a living. For her, apparently, it was leaving a Roy Rogers in the mid-90s.
Her book, “The Widow Spy” tells her tale of working in Eastern Europe in the late 1970s, losing her husband at the time, who was also in the CIA, and her decision to press on with her work.
She says she doesn’t watch all the spy movies, but the thrill and adrenaline you get when you are on a mission is very real, and sometimes you just have to separate your left and right brain, when you finally come home to domestic life.

My Kids a Hero is a great way to gift a book to a child that will really stand out on their book shelve. Each book is unique and no two stories are exactly the same. The books are filled with small details about you child, from hair color to their favorite things.The illustrations are all done in colored pencil and chalk and look amazing.
I received two books, one for each of the girls and was more than surprised at the high quality of them. The hardback books are beautiful leather-bound editions, with a small cut out that holds the title of the book and a few decorations.
This is Hayley's cover.
and this is one of the beautiful drawings inside the book.
|Hayley got all excited over this one. She loves dragons!|
Both of the girls just love their stories. When I first read Hayley's to her she kept stopping me to tell me that the girl in the book was her with a very emphatic, "That's me mommy, that's me." Her story is easy enough for her to follow along and not get bored with, something that is hard to do with an active three year old.
With Kyla I didn't tell her what the book was about. I handed it to her the day it came in and told her to sit down and read it to let me know what she thought about it. The squeal of disbelief and jumping of joy and excitement when she realized that she was the main star in the book left my ears ringing for days. She quickly decided though that the boy in the book was actually Justin Beiber in disguise, then as she read on and realized that they got married in the end...well let's put it this way, she's been planning her wedding for weeks now.
My Kid's A Hero also offers custom bookmarks and book bags. For each you can choose the base color, the thread color for the embroidery, and the style of text.
Simple yet beautiful.
I really can't rave enough about these books. Between the gorgeous covers, the beautiful drawings, the great stories and the over all uniqueness they are a perfect gift.
Jodie has been kind enough to offer a personalized bookmark and book bag to one lucky winner!
Entry is simple, complete the mandatory entry and include your email with it. Extra entries must be left as separate comments after mandatory entry is completed. Giveaway will end on July 31 at 11:59pm CST. A winner will be chosen August 1 and will have 48 hours to respond before a new winner is chosen. Good luck!

Overcoming Fear and Taking the Leap: Lessons from 'Jabari Jumps'
Conquering Fear through Preparation
Jabari's journey begins with his declaration to his dad that he is ready to jump off the diving board. Despite feeling a little scared, he knows he has completed his swimming lessons and passed his swim test. This teaches us the importance of preparation and how it can boost our confidence when facing daunting situations.
The Power of Support
Jabari's dad plays a crucial role in his journey. He offers encouragement, reassurance, and a reminder that it's okay to feel scared. Sometimes, all we need is a support system to believe in us and provide that extra push when we hesitate. Surrounding ourselves with people who uplift and motivate us can make a world of difference.
Embracing the Unknown
As Jabari stands at the bottom of the ladder, he realizes the significance of taking a moment to reflect and plan his special jump. This teaches us the importance of embracing the unknown and taking calculated risks. Sometimes, it's essential to pause, strategize, and visualize our desired outcome before taking the leap.
Stretching and Self-Care
Jabari's realization that he forgot to do his stretches highlights the importance of physical and mental preparation. Taking care of ourselves through stretching, exercise, and self-care habits can enhance our performance and boost our confidence. Self-care is an integral part of resilience-building and emotional well-being.
The Thrill of Success
Finally, Jabari conquers his fear and jumps off the diving board, experiencing the exhilaration of success. This reminds us that taking risks and stepping out of our comfort zones can lead to incredible achievements. The joy and satisfaction of overcoming challenges are worth the initial fear and uncertainty.
'Jabari Jumps' is an inspiring tale that teaches us valuable lessons about conquering fear, embracing support, and taking calculated risks. By incorporating the themes of courage, resilience, and self-belief, this heartwarming story empowers readers of all ages to face their fears head-on and take that leap of faith.
Remember, just like Jabari, you have the strength within you to overcome any obstacle. Take a deep breath, believe in yourself, and soar to new heights.


POINT DE MIRE
/ Onaran, Korkut. — New York, NY ; Abingdon, Oxon : Routledge, 2019.
x, 148 pages : illustrations, index.
The book presents a theoretical framework for dynamic land use planning systems and the benefits of form-based codes. It then provides practical advice for developing form-based codes (i.e., basics of lot types, tailoring lot types for niche conditions, coding for diversity, transect-based organization of a code using lot types and tools for crafting dynamic lot types). Finally, it discusses coding for resilience with sample lot types in hot-arid and hot-humid climate zones.
/ Kohn, Margaret. — New York, NY : Oxford University Press, 2016.
ix, 268 pages : index, bibl.
The book looks at the right of people to housing, public transit and urban spaces, viewing them as a public and social good. It is grounded in the political theory of solidarism and treats the city as a common wealth of transmitted values from past generations to the present. Chapters examine the theory of solidarism and social rights theory; the right to shelter in the Indian court case Olga Tellis v. Bombay Municipal Corporation (1985); the right to occupancy in the case of the destruction of public housing in the United States; five harms associated with gentrification; access to transit mobility as a right in Toronto (Scarborough subway issue) and Richmond, VA; the appropriation of space by the Occupy Wall Street movements in New York City and Toronto; the use of civil disobedience to protect access to public space; and "hetero-rights" ("a right-claim to advance fundamental interests").

xxxiv, 631 pages : index, bibl.
The book explores public sector use of public–private partnerships (P3) in Canada. It covers common P3 models; the history, current state, legislative context and institutions for P3 usage by the federal government and in each province/territory; the cases for and against the use of P3s by the public sector; the procurement process; risk allocation; P3 project agreements; P3 financing models; risk transfer; dispute resolution for P3s; the challenges for and examples of municipal P3 projects; the structure and use of P3s in the United States in comparison to Canada; and the unique challenges and economic benefits of Indigenous P3 projects.
/ Buchan, Robert. — Union, ON : Municipal World, 2019.
vi, 170 pages : illustrations. — (Municipal knowledge series).
The book introduces the theory of "transformative incrementalism," which explains the social processes within community planning that support incremental changes to urban systems (e.g., food systems, housing and transportation). Following an explanation of the theory, it presents examples illustrating its application. Four case studies explore urban planning projects in British Columbia that demonstrate the community planning elements of transformative incrementalism theory: (1) the planning approaches, actors, challenges and outcomes of the redevelopment of downtown Vancouver; (2) the catalysts for change, design charrette, key lessons and outcomes of revitalizing the downtown area in Langford; (3) the planning and zoning processes for the New Monaco neighbourhood development project in Peachland; and (4) changes that enabled the transformation of food systems, including community gardens, in the Capital Regional District.

There are two main types of resource provided by mascil:
1. The mascil toolkit – for coordinators of professional development groups.
You are currently in the toolkit section of the resources which includes all of the important materials you need to support your mascil teacher group as a coordinator.
Further advice about using this toolkit can be found here.
2. Classroom materials – for teachers and co-ordinators
The teaching materials are an important part of the total package of resources available to you. However, they are meant to be illustrative of what is possible rather than providing an exhaustive bank of resources. Fundamental to mascil professional learning is that teachers have opportunities to design their own tasks that promote IBL and connections with the world of work. This allows for careful customisation of resources that best suit a teacher’s working context and his or her students.
A link to these materials can be found here.
There is a mascil guide that provides advice about developing materials and this can be downloaded here. It is important as group coordinator that you are very familiar with the principles included in the guide and share these with your teacher group. Tool WC-3: Designing tasks will be useful when working with teachers on this aspect of their professional practice.
There is one tool for this professional question:
This tool will help teachers gain an overview of the two types of resource provided by Mascil and relate this to a discussion of professional needs in order to establish a starting point and some initial shared aims for the group.


Books are among the first things you hold as a child. And in a lifetime, you might be able to read around 3,000 books (now that’s a lot of reading) if you’re really into it. But a chosen few will only have the chance to encounter these fascinating books. This list covers the smallest, the largest, the oldest, the most expensive, and a whole lot of other fun facts about books. Here’s a collection of some of the most amazing books we found:
THE WORLD’S MOST EXPENSIVE BOOK:
Reading can be an expensive hobby but try owning Leonardo da Vinci’s The Codex Leicester. This is da Vinci’s handwritten journal that covers his own theories on how things work – from astronomy to mechanics and fossil formation and a whole lot of other stuff. Since it is basically a collection of da Vinci’s own two cents on things, it made it valuable, and hence, expensive. It sold for over $30 million in an auction in 1994, by another great mind – none other than Microsoft’s Bill Gates.
THE WORLD’S SMALLEST BOOK:
Big things come in small packages – this statement is true for the world’s smallest printed book. Japan nabs the world record for printing the smallest book in the world – the pages are just 0.75 millimeters in size and the print is just 0.01 millimeter wide. This book even has illustrations! The book, titled Shiki no Kusabana, meaning Flowers of Seasons, talks about Japanese flowers. The book can be seen in a display in Tokyo, at Toppan’s Printing Museum.
THE WORLD’S LARGEST BOOK:
According to Guinness Book of World Records, the world’s largest book is made in Dubai, UAE. The book, titled “This the Prophet Mohamed” stands at 16.40 feet by 26.44 feet, and weighs a massive 3,306 pounds! The book needed more than fifty people to assemble and was presented to the public on February 27, 2012.
FIRST MILLION-SELLING PROGRAMMING BOOK:
Nowadays, there are a lot of best-selling programming books out there, but the first million-selling book about programming was written by Dave Ahl, titled BASIC Computer Games. It featured the most popular home-computer games at the time, such as Chomp, Hexapawn, Hamurabi, Nim, Super Star Trek.
FIRST MECHANICALLY PRINTED BOOK:
The first book to be printed mechanically was the Gutenberg Bible. It was printed in Mainz, Germany in 1455 by, you guessed it, Johannes Gutenberg, the man who introduced mechanical printing. Bonus Fact: The Bible remains the most popular book in the entire world.
MOST COPIES SOLD BY A SINGLE VOLUME BOOK:
Apart from the Bible (which sold more than a billion copies, by the way), the most copies sold of a single-volume book goes to Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra’s Don Quixote. It sold more than 500 million copies world wide. Clearly, the insane, yet hilarious adventures of Don Quixote de la Mancha and his trusty squire, Sancho Panza, did the work. Don Quixote is also a regular contender for lists of greatest literary works of all time.
LARGEST PUBLISHED COMIC BOOK:
To all comic book fans out there, perhaps here’s one for your collection. The largest published comic book was created by Omar Morales and titled CruZader™: Agent of the Vatican. It is 2 ft by 3 ft in size, and 28-pages long, all pages are in full-color. There were 105 copies printed that sold for $200 in the United States ($300 internationally).
Book fans will rejoice when they step into the world’s largest library. In terms of cataloged size, the British Library is the world’s largest, beating the United States Library of Congress. The British Library has more than 170 million cataloged items, 12 million more than the declared items of the Library of Congress. It is the national library of the United Kingdom and houses a collection of countless items in many formats and languages. A real bookworm heaven!
Big or small, expensive or free, we surely love books! They enrich our minds, inspire us, motivate us, fuel our imagination, and entertain us in so many ways. Books will take you on adventures without taking you out of the room, teach you a lot without going into a classroom, and introduce you to new ideas that will help you be a better you. Get to reading, y’all!


We went to the library and learned all about the snakes in Texas. The library owns this Ball Python, Rocksanne. We found out that she is 12 years old, won't eat anything except for freshly killed gerbils, and has been living at the library for 9 years. Because she will only eat freshly dispatched of gerbils and they can't get them right now, Rocksanne hasn't eaten in 3 weeks.
Did you know that snakes don't have eyelids but rather scales? They shed their eye scales when they shed their skin.

The less known history of ecological psychology: Roger Barker and the Midwest Psychological Field Station
Jytte Bang & Sofie Pedersen
Nov. 5, 2020, 1 p.m. UTC // Nov. 5, 2020, 1 p.m. in UTC
Among the approaches to ecological psychology, the work of Roger Barker and The Midwest Psychological Field Station remains relatively less well known and less studied. This situation is unfortunate given the intense investigations and the conceptual and methodological contributions offered by the research team throughout the extended period of 25 years. Knowing the work of Barker and his research team is a source not only to the history of psychology (which, of course, is an aim in itself) but also to the history of American Midwest life. The field station was established in 1947 and it closed in 1973. During these 25 years, they carried out studies of the people of Oskaloosa (called ‘Midwest’), located around 50 miles west of Kansas City. In the early years, they carried out full-day studies of individual children of Midwest in their natural environments. This empirical work was followed by intentions to create a methodological and conceptual ground for the study of natural behavior of people in general. The most prominent conceptual result of this work is that of ‘behavior setting’.
This work grew out of an awareness of the theoretical challenges which faced ecological psychology at the time. Barker was occupied with the disagreement between Lewin and Brunswik concerning whether ‘lawfulness’ or ‘probabilism’ should be the proper ground for psychology. Being inspired by Lewin, Barker sought his own solutions to this problem. Whereas ‘ecological psychology’ stemming from Lewin was occupied with the subjective life-space, Barker became occupied with what he called the ‘standing patterns of behavior’ and therefore suggested an approach which went beyond Lewin - he called this approach ‘eco-behavioral science’ or even ‘psychology of the absent organism.’ Hence, the researchers at the Midwest Psychological Field Station studied the everyday life of people in the town of Oskaloosa and, at the same time, they created a new approach to psychology. In our view, this work deserves more attention in the history of psychology. In 2016, we (the presenters) spent several weeks studying the archive material from the Midwest study – an archive carefully built up by Barker at the end of his Field Station work as he envisioned the material to have potentials for future researchers. In our presentation, we wish to dive into the work of Barker & Wright, but also discuss its potential for current research in psychology.

A good friend has written a book after finding a cache of letters found in her parents home after their deaths, for over 50 years they were hidden and undiscovered until recently.
World War Two TRUE STORY – AUSCHWITZ – Moving account of three women in Hitler’s war torn Europe during 1930’s – 1940’s
A fascinating TRUE STORY “ESCAPE TO AUSCHWITZ” the moving account of these three women, their emotions, their struggle, their triumph.
This valuable and heart breaking exchange of correspondence has been beautifully crafted into these pages by the next generation, through letters, photographs, documents, and manuscripts, a magnificent tribute to these heroic women.
It was 2004, and a cache of letters was found when our parents house was cleared in preparation for sale. Ilse, our mother, had kept them safe for 50 years, never mentioning them nor telling their story.
Hulda, her mother Gisela and daughter Ilse, all born into an Viennese Jewish family were caught up in the tragedy of Hitler’s Europe. The three women, bound together by a love that flows through letters, were physically torn apart by the racist politics of the 1930’s and 40’s.
Ending up in three different countries, they tried to keep hope alive through their letters to each other.
What became of them?
Did they survive?
Or did they become just another statistic of the Holocaust?
This is their story, told mainly through Hulda’s letters.

Little snippet for you from Snoo “The film Titanic cost more than the ship Titanic”


Cian O’Dwyer, immature and twenty-eight, “ends up” in the Portuguese capital, escaping from a life in Dublin that has become “sour and spoiled”. In Lisbon he is torn between the dissolute world of an ex-pat English teacher, and life among the locals. He works in the London School where, he soon discovers, all is not as it seems.
A Year in Lisbon is a novel with a strong sense of place, where the city itself is a protagonist in the story. This story is one of loss, change and second chances, with a cast of finely drawn characters that entertain and engage. Funny, rich and wide-ranging, it is Lorcan McNamee’s first novel.
This website serves a dual purpose, it is the website of the novel A Year in Lisbon, and also charts the adventure of self publishing a novel, through the blog.
You can also read extracts from the novel here.

Thor’s hammer tattoo meaning is a popular topic among tattoo enthusiasts. The symbol of Thor’s hammer has been an important part of Nordic mythology and culture for centuries, and it holds various meanings depending on the person who wears it. In this article, we will explore the different interpretations and cultural significance of the Thor’s hammer tattoo.
Historical Significance of Thor’s Hammer
Thor’s hammer, also known as Mjolnir, is one of the most iconic symbols of Norse mythology. It was said to have been created by the dwarf brothers Brokkr and Eitri and given to Thor, the god of thunder, as his weapon of choice. The hammer was believed to possess magical powers that allowed Thor to control the weather and protect the Norse gods and humans from evil forces.
In ancient Nordic culture, Thor’s hammer was also worn as an amulet to ward off evil spirits and protect the wearer from harm. The symbol of the hammer was associated with strength, courage, and honor, and it was often used in rituals and ceremonies to symbolize the bond between the gods and humans.
Interpretations of Thor’s Hammer Tattoo Meaning
- Strength and Protection
One of the most common interpretations of the Thor’s hammer tattoo is that it represents strength and protection. The symbol is often used by people who want to embody the qualities of Thor, including bravery, resilience, and power. The hammer is believed to give the wearer strength and protect them from harm, both physical and spiritual.
- Connection to Nordic Culture
For many people, the Thor’s hammer tattoo is a way to connect with their Nordic heritage and culture. The symbol is a reminder of the rich history and mythology of the Norse people, and it can be used as a way to honor their ancestors and traditions. The tattoo may also represent a personal connection to the ideals of Nordic culture, such as honor, loyalty, and self-reliance.
- Rebellion and Individuality
Some people choose to get a Thor’s hammer tattoo as a symbol of rebellion or individuality. The hammer represents a powerful and iconic image that stands out from mainstream tattoo designs. It can be used to express a sense of nonconformity or a desire to break away from societal norms. For some, the tattoo may also represent a rejection of organized religion or a search for personal spirituality outside of traditional belief systems.

Marta Gardolińska conductor
Michael Collins clarinet
WEBER Overture Der Freischütz
WEBER Clarinet Concerto No. 1
BRAHMS Symphony No. 1
Marta Gardolińska takes us back to the early Romantic era in this all-German programme. Der Freischütz is widely considered one of the first German operatic masterpieces, and the 10-minute overture offers a tantalising taste of the whole work.
The spotlight is then on the brilliant Michael Collins, as he demonstrates all that the clarinet has to offer in Weber’s radiant first clarinet concerto. The work was embellished by Weber’s clarinettist friend Heinrich Baermann, for whom it was written, and the result is abundant in memorable melodies.
Brahms’s Symphony No. 1 is full of in melting lyricism and dynamic expansion. Brahms looked to Beethoven for inspiration, and his own version of the Ode to Joy (taken from Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony) can be heard in the final movement.

I can't believe it is almost March, and time to dive into Reading Month!!
For the past three years, my little school has been participating in the One School, One Book program. I can not sing this programs praises enough! Not only does it bring our school community together, it also puts quality books into our students' homes. It has become so successful that in the past month we have had students and parents begging to know what this year's novel will be.
On the first school day of March we have a huge kick off celebration, and give each family and school employee a copy of the novel. Each night a chapter is assigned for the families to read together. All of our Reading Month activities (calendar to follow soon) revolve around the previous night's chapter.
This years novel is. . . . .
"The Indian in the Cupboard"
By Lynne Reid Banks
I can't wait to share with you the school-wide activities we have planned. It will be a whole new ball game, creating classroom activities to accompany the novel that are geared towards Kindergarten.
Any fun suggestions??

Exploring Education at WIS
Reading Without Walls at the Primary School
Before school ended in June, our Primary School students and faculty were issued a challenge from the Primary School librarians: to expand their reading horizons by participating in the Reading Without Walls program over the summer. The program called for participants to read:
A book about a character who doesn’t look or live like them.
A book about a topic they don’t know much about.
A book in a format that they don’t normally read for fun (picture book; graphic novel; chapter book; book in verse; audio book).
An initiative started by the National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature, Gene Luen Yang, Reading Without Walls “promotes diversity and opens readers’ eyes to new ideas and experiences. In this divided time in our nation’s history, Reading Without Walls is an inclusive way to spread appreciation and understanding for others—and to learn new and exciting things.”
Another part of the challenge was for participants to post photos of themselves reading on the WIS Padlet, which helped create more community around the program. Students (and teachers!) really immersed themselves in the challenge—almost 100 photos were posted to the Padlet over the course of the summer! The variety of books being read was also impressive; one student read Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice; another read a book written in Italian in 1919. Students read in books Spanish, French, and English, by authors from all over the world. Many of these photos have been posted on the bulletin board outside the library.
As a reward for their participation, any student who posted to the Padlet and/or completed the summer reading packet by the end of first week of school was in for a special treat: a free book! Over 50 students gathered in the Primary School library near the end of the day last week for their celebration. Primary School Librarian Sue Anderson and her team had multiple baskets of books for these eager readers. They were also given a certificate, in addition to stickers and bookmarks to use with their new books.
One of the best parts of this program? Students had no idea they would be rewarded for participating—they did it because they genuinely enjoy reading!

The Scent of Rain By Kristin Billerbeck
This book is about a woman Daphne Sweeten who loses everything including her most prized sense, her sense of smell. This can be problematic for someone who makes perfumes. After her disastrous wedding day that never happened, she moves to a small town to start over. This time, she has a job making scents for household products such as laundry detergent and hand soap, an interesting job choice for someone who can’t smell.
This book has a good overall arc for a romance. You can feel the tension build and it leaves off without any of the over used sex scenes. There is good character development from the main caricature as she sets to rebuild her life and get back her most treasured gift. There is a lot of possible development from the secondary and tertiary characters.
There may be a good overall story arc, but if you have any issue with the Christian church or faith than this book is not for you. There are many places where the author makes unnecessary points to show the characters faith; it would have great if it had furthered the story. Since most of it didn’t it was just wasted book space. I have no issue with faith being used in a book; it can be used to make some amazing points. However, The Scent of Rain seemed to hammer it home in an almost unconformable way. It even shows what happens to sinners who do not act in a Christian way and how to save those people from themselves.
The end of the book seems rushed. Daphne is working towards her goals she has gotten her life figured out and then the ending hits you like a freight train. With so much build up and work done in the first part of the book the ending is a letdown. In the end everything just falls into place without any real preamble. Weeks went by with no note by the author. The main characters decide that they are in love and that is the end. I really feel that there should have been more to the ending. Everything magically works out. The evil ex fiancée has now gotten his just desserts and the amazing man she met loves her and is giving her everything. Her life is back on track and she has everything she wants or needs. the lack of realism hurt.
Another downside to this book is that Daphne can’t figure out why she lost her sense of smell; the answer should have been available to her everywhere via internet or any professional. She had a case of hysterical sensory loss or the loss of a sense following traumatic or life altering events. It really took her too long to be able to figure something like this out. Her best friend who works in the mental health field was unable to help her?
My last complaint is that the ending of the book is given to you less than half way through. I can tell when the author decided how this was going to end. The ending is handed to you in a dream sequence that was wholly unnecessary. Leave me a little mystery. If I wanted to know the end I would just skip ahead and read the last few pages of the book.
I suggest this to read if you can’t find something else or you are looking for an easy read.

16 Dec Panda Condos will honour World’s Biggest Bookstore. Here’s how.
Original article via The Star. Click here to read.
When news broke in 2013 that the World’s Biggest Bookstore was shuttering its doors, book lovers mourned the loss of a Toronto staple.
Memories shared on blogs and social media revealed its place in Toronto’s cultural landscape: Lovebirds told how they’d roamed the store’s aisles on first dates, tourists recounted gawking at its expansive 64,000 square feet, and newcomers explained how they’d practised English there.
The bookstore was torn down in 2014, but its memory will remain when Lifetime Developments’ Panda Condominiums opens in spring, 2021 with a curated library of Canadian literature included in the project’s amenities space.

Warning Work In Progress Warning
The subversion repository of Freetz follows the recommended repository layout by the subversion maintainers.
/ trunk branches tags
The main development is done in the trunk. A branch could be created if a developer wants to work on a topic without the guaranteed stability of his checkins all the time. Also a branch is forked when a new stable release is planned. This branch holds the future major version (e.g. 1.2).
Mainly bugfixes should be commited to this branch. But security version bumps are allowed, too.
Later on the Releases 1.2.1, 1.2.2 and so on should be tagged from this branch.
Tagged versions should never be modified afterwards even if they seem nothing else like a branch from the repository view.
In the following sections you can find the TODOs before branching and tagging.
Creating a new stable branch¶
- Before creating a new stable branch:
- Update CHANGELOG file
- Merge changes from last stable-branch (if not done already)
- Rename devel-section to new stable version
- Copy branch
- After creating the new branch:
- Update version in .version file
- Update Config.in (set VERBOSITY_LEVEL=0 and SUBVERSION_STRING=n)
- Remove labor firmwares (Config.in and FIRMWARES file)
- Add new devel-section to CHANGELOG file in trunk
Tagging a new release¶
As the popularity of GIT is growing rapidly, we provide a GIT mirror on github. At the moment only the trunk is mirrored to github because of the different repository layout it’s difficult to sync all branches and tags. The mirror can be found here.

- 1. Start by navigating to the sketchbook folder. For me the path is /home/username/sketchbook or click Places>home folder>sketchbook
2. Create a folder called "libraries"
3. Enter the libraries folder and create the new library name, for example "IRremote"
4. Now open your favorite text editor and click file>save as..
5. navigate to the IRremote folder and change the title of the file to be saved from untitled to IRremote.cpp and press save
6. In your browser open the file IRremote.cpp from the url above.
7. Copy and paste the code into your text editor and click save in the editor.
8. repeat steps 5 through 7 for all files. Be sure to change the file extension each time so you are saving as .cpp, .h, and .txt
9. Once you are done restart the Arduino IDE
10. To verify everything worked, in the Arduino IDE select sketch>import library and you should see your new library in the list under "Contributed"
11. Now go to File>Sketchbook>libraries>IRremote>IRrecord and open IRrecord.
12. Press the verify button and it should compile with no errors.
Now you should be able to add any library you choose. I did this for anyone who is having difficulty getting their new library to show up in the import library menu. I was adding the library to arduino-0017/hardware/library folder which is incorrect unless you are running v0016.

The final chapter of the story of God has only been partially written. Jesus died, but was not defeated by death. He conquered Satan, sin and death by rising from his grave. In this sermon we will learn about the resurrection of Jesus and the hope that brings to all of God's children.

Jane Kuo, a friend of mine from college, recently released a lovely children’s book (or maybe parents’ book?) called The Runaway Mommy. The illustrations by Scott Rim are charming, and anyone who’s in the midst of the heaven and the hell of parenthood will be able to relate. Jane’s story reminds parents of what they had to give up, but also argues that it was worth it.

The library or study should be located on the west side of the building, but should not be located in the corners of the house. When using a library or study, it is best to sit facing east or north. The bookshelves should not be in the northwest or southwest corner. Books should be in the east, north, or west sides of the room. Make sure that there is no mirror reflection in their room. This may have effect of doubling their work load. Make sure that the student does not study under a beam otherwise he or she feels unnecessary pressure.
Color scheme as per Vastu:- The walls of study room should be painted in light colors rather than dark colors. Light colors are very auspicious according to vastu and enhance learning power of students. Avoid black color in study room.
Library:- The best colour, however, depends on the type of books that the residents like to read. If they prefer serious books, brown is an appropriate shade. For less serious readers, pale blue, light green or pink are good.

CHURCH RELATIONSHIPS - Audio
Romans is a great treasure trove of theological truth but it’s final chapter in particular shows us that the apostle Paul was interested in much more than just intellectual truths about God. He was intimately involved with people. He lived out his theology through the relationships he shared with brothers and sisters – in good times and in bad. He understood - as we all must – that there is both a vertical and a horizontal expression of a life with God.

Heaven is for Real: A Little Boy's Astounding Story of His Trip to Heaven and Back by Todd Burpo
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I read this book in one day. I literally couldn't put it down and carried it around all day. I could've easily been skeptical of such an extraordinary story, but with strong biblical principles and scriptures and such convincing revelation from the young boy, I saw heaven a little more clearly.Lynn Vincent did an excellent job putting this account into a story form.If you have loved ones who are dying or have died, it is something that will comfort you. Everyone dies, so how will you face death? With fear? Or will you have something to look forward to no matter when it comes? I think the thing that encouraged me the most was Todd's prayer was answered, even though he questioned God harshly and raged in pain. Sometimes you wonder if God listens, but He does. Read it, recommend it to your friends, give it as a gift. Heaven IS for REAL.I highly recommend it, especially if you have questions about heaven or have never studied the scriptures concerning heaven.

Loved the book, too. It's a quick read -- my ten y.o. read it in two nights and absorbed the content. Very eye-opening and hope-filled book.
I think because heaven is seen through the eyes of a child, it makes it so much easier to understand. I'm wondering when they will do a book from his POV--like a picture book?
Your 10-y.o., Cara, is so smart and thoughtful and because of her, I think it could open a lot of dialogue if other parents will consider reading/discussing the book with their children ready for this book. The concepts are put into a child's perspective, though through the eyes of his parent.
Thank you, Cara, for adding that thought, too, because it IS something you could share with your children.
I was blown away. The pictures at the end of the book bring it all home, too. :)

I was so excited to hear what Alan Levine had to say about story telling and how important it is for our young children to be able to do. Stories can be told in so many different ways, so it is crucial that teachers display more than just the stories told in books. Incorporating First Nations content into the classroom through oral storytelling is one way, and another way is by telling stories digitally. There are numerous different apps and tools that you can browse through to see what best suits the story you want to tell.
I went through the DS 106 website and tried a few of those ways of storytelling, but I found them to be quite confusing and the type of story I wanted to share was difficult to create using those assignments.
I used PhotoPeach to create my digital story. It was so much easier to understand and navigate. It is in the form of a slide show video where you can add captions to each slide as well as music. My story is about my dog Zoe, and the journey we’ve had together over the past 10 months. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do! 🙂
Here is my PhotoPeach story:


A considerable period of time has passed since the manufacture of altar wine and the Church legislation concerning it was thoroughly discussed by Fr. Arthur McNeil, S.J., (1938)[i] and reviewed by Fr. Gerald Clark, O.P., (1943).[ii] Since that time there have been a number of developments in wine technology and at least one new ecclesiastical pronouncement.[iii] The Purpose of this article is to review the moral principles and canonical legislation concerning wine used for the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, and to apply them to the various processes currently in use in this country in the production of wine, stressing particularly the ways in which wine may become illicit or invalid for use as altar wine. At the end, suggestions will be offered for judging a particular wine as valid and licit altar wine.


Famous People Who Knew Me takes the reader back to the Bronx of 1919, where Larry Lowenstein was born. It tells of Larry’s early years before and during the Great Depression, as well as his experiences during World War II, where he served in the Army Air Forces. Most significantly, this memoir tells of Larry’s career after the war during the go-go years of early television. The chronicle also captures the time after Larry left New York City for Atlanta, continuing his career.
Lowenstein tells entertaining stories like making the wedding bed for Elizabeth Taylor and Eddie Fisher. Another tale in Famous People Who Knew Me talks of Ed Sullivan forgetting to introduce him to Elvis Presley at Studio 54. Other stories include memories of Roy Rogers, the Tournament of Roses Parade, and other prestigious hangouts. After leaving New York, Larry had significant roles in Atlanta with the NAACP, Urban League, Special Olympics, and many other organizations. Reading Lowenstein’s memoir, you will see his life in the world of glamour, his vibrant energy, and his sincerity.

From Burnout to Resilience: A Deeper Diagnosis
This 60 min talk explores the hidden drivers of burnout on a psychological and cultural level, drawing on my story of going from leading a global movement to being diagnosed with a debilitating chronic illness.
It explains how burnout arises on a physiological level, why it is so difficult to recover from, how addiction is the dominant coping mechanism and why we fail to stick to good habits as well as how downward spirals occur. It also touches on the crucial difference between endurance and resilience and how adversity reveals a hidden, inner resource.
Book a call with me today to discuss the content in detail.
