        Erkenne Deinen Wert & Du wirst nie wieder das Gefühl in Deinem Leben haben, dass Du zu kurz kommst. "IM LEBEN GIBT ES KEINE LANDKARTE, DIE DIR DEN WEG WEIST, KEIN SCHILD, DAS DIR AUSKUNFT GIBT. ES GIBT NUR DIE STIMME DEINES HERZENS, DIE DICH FÜHRT."   In meinem Buch "Jeder kann in einer erfüllten Partnerschaft leben. #einePortionLiebe" unterstütze ich meine Leser dabei, die Ursache Ihrer Themen zu identifizieren und diese loszulassen, so dass sie ihre Herzensstimme wieder hören. Es wird ein Entwicklungsprozess in Gang gesetzt. Mit jeden Schritt, den meine Leser hierbei wagen, finden sie zurück in die Wertschätzung ihres Lebens. Schritt für Schritt wachsen sie in die Erfüllung und Freude an ihrem Sein, so dass sie ihr wahres Potenzial, auf allen Lebensebenen wieder entdecken und ausleben.     Alles im Leben beginnt mit einer Entscheidung.   Meistens zeigen sich die Themen, an denen man wachsen darf, durch immer wiederkehrende Themen, die sich wie ein roter Faden durch sein Leben ziehen. Dies zeigt sich dann  u.a. darin, dass man anfängt, sich wertlos zu fühlen und sich hinter seinem äußeren Erfolg versteckt, ohne dabei innere Erfüllung zu finden.   Dahinter stecken Ursachen, die einem die Tür zu seinem Herzen verschließen. Ich nenne sie auch gerne innere Saboteure. Sie kreieren einem immer wieder die Situationen, von denen man in seinem Inneren überzeugt, ist wert zu sein, und einem die Bestätigung geben, dass man auch weiter so denkt. Denn man zieht immer das in sein Leben, was man aussendet. Nicht mehr und nicht weniger. Man kann beruflich alles haben und doch innerlich unzufrieden und nicht erfüllt sein, wenn man in sich selber nicht zugesteht, dass man auch Freude an seinem Erfolg haben darf.   Die gute Nachricht ist, dass man zu jeder Zeit aus dieser Spirale heraustreten kann, um  sich das Leben zu kreieren, dass einem Erfüllung und Freude in allen Lebensbereichen schenkt. Nur manchmal kommt man nicht alleine aus dieser Spirale heraus, und man fühlt sich wie ausgebremst. Denn durch mein Buch begleite ich meine Leser über ihre Grenze hinaus zum Kern der Ursache, so dass sie sich von ihrer Blockade befreien. Sie beginnen die Lebensfreude zurück in ihr Leben hinein zu lassen und die Möglichkeiten erkennen, um ein erfülltes Leben aus ihrem Herzen heraus zu führen.     Also hab den Mut & erkenne Deinen Wert, dass auch Du ein erfülltes Leben auf allen Ebenen zu führen kannst. Denn hier liegt das wahre Seelenglück verborgen.   Finde Deine persönliche Work-Life-Balance, die zu Deinem Leben passt und nicht zu dem der anderen.   Du wirst durch mein Buch erkennen:   - wie Du eine gemeinschaftliche Partnerschaft voller Liebe, Respekt & Toleranz aufbaust - welchen Einfluss die Entwicklung der heutigen 0-Fehler Gesellschaft auf die erlebte Partnerschaftsqualität hat. - wie du dich aus der Opferrolle in deinem Leben befreist. - warum es sich lohnt, an eine erfüllte Partnerschaft zu glauben. - wie Du Dich aus der Funktionspirale Deines Alltages befreien kannst. - wie Du Deinen Liebeskummer & Herzschmerz überwindest und in Deine innere Mitte zurück findest. - wie Du die Hindernisse in deiner Partnerschaft überwindest und diese nachhaltig mit Liebe füllest. - wie du Angst in Liebe umwandelst. - wie Du Dein Selbstbewusstsein stärkst- und vor allem wirst Du wieder lernen, Dich selber zu lieben. - wie wichtig es ist, seinen eigenen Wert zu kennen. - wie Du über Selbstliebe Deine gesamte Partnerschaft bzw. Situation, in der Du Dich gerade befindest, verändern kannst. - dass alles, was Du selber glaubst und wie Du über Dich denkst, Dir stets durch Dein Außen gezeigt wird. - dass Dir ein anderer immer nur mit so viel Liebe und Wertschätzung entgegengehen kann, wie Du selber bereit bist anzunehmen. Du bekommst nie mehr und auch nicht weniger. - dass nur, wenn Du Deine eigenen Grenzen wahrst, andere diese Grenzen einhalten können. - was Du wirklich in Deinem Leben möchtest.   ***Je liebevoller Du mit Dir selber umgehst, umso mehr werden es auch andere tun und Deinen Wert erkennen.***

        Conga Line on the Amazon

        by David Myles Robinson

        David Myles Robinson was eight years old when he first got hooked on travel. Since then, he’s seen most of the world—all its continents plus, he laments, “far too many places where travel is now off-limits.”After a lifetime of visiting near and far, in heat and in cold, in comfort and in danger, Robinson has put it all together now in this unique collection of the varied travel adventures he’s found—and the lessons he’s learned from them. A Fellini-esque view of the Amazon, a Mercedes caravan to Istanbul, Jane Goodall's amazing chimps—just part of a travel trunk full of experiences guaranteed to keep you seesawing from “Boy, I'd love to do that" to “Sure glad it was him, not me.”In Conga Line on the Amazon, Robinson brings to his first travel book the same gift for intriguing narrative and sharp characterization that has won praise for his six highly successful novels. Some of his tales may be for the strong of heart, but they’re all for the reader with a yen to be entertained by one intrepid man’s adventures and misadventures exploring the strange and wonderful world we live in.

        The Seesawers

        by Claudio Morandini

        Italian Alps, 1980. After what it looked like an endless journey, a young ethnomusicologist ends up right where she wanted to be: the little village of Crottarda. When she was little, she used to go there on holiday with her parents, and she never forgot the bewitching sounds that she heard at night during their stay. Those sounds were the shouts that shepherds gave each other in between the crests; and now, moved by her academic interest, she wants to study this ancient, mysterious habit. What she finds out is that the oppressive shadow of the mountain affects the village and the minds of its community, creating a hard hostility towards another village on the opposite, well-brighted slope, as if the conformation of the territory shaped its people’s temper to the bone.Helped by a local, uncanny girl and a speleologist only equipped with his own forehead lamp, the ethnomusicologist tries to decode the shepherds’ sounds and the eccentric routines of the villagers, surrounded by a cryptic, dreamlike atmosphere – like an evocative and somehow disturbing fable.But do these shouts really exist and are worthy of her study, or everything is just a trick of her memory? And are these strange people really what they appear to be, or the distance from the rest of the world made them unfitting to any kind of contact with “someone from the outside”?

        The Resistance Phenomenon in Microbes and Infectious Disease Vectors

        Implications for Human Health and Strategies for Containment -- Workshop Summary

        by Stacey L. Knobler, Stanley M. Lemon, Marian Najafi, and Tom Burroughs, Editors, Forum on Emerging Infections

        The resistance topic is timely given current events. The emergence of mysterious new diseases, such as SARS, and the looming threat of bioterrorist attacks remind us of how vulnerable we can be to infectious agents. With advances in medical technologies, we have tamed many former microbial foes, yet with few new antimicrobial agents and vaccines in the pipeline, and rapidly increasing drug resistance among infectious microbes, we teeter on the brink of loosing the upperhand in our ongoing struggle against these foes, old and new. The Resistance Phenomenon in Microbes and Infectious Disease Vectors examines our understanding of the relationships among microbes, disease vectors, and human hosts, and explores possible new strategies for meeting the challenge of resistance.

        The Short Life of Hughie McLoon

        A True Story of Baseball, Magic and Murder

        by Allen Abel

        To be the luckiest kid in America, he first had to be the unluckiest   It was a time of Prohibition, Jazz, and gangland murder, and it was baseball's Age of Magic, when even Hall of Fame players believed that rubbing the hump of a hunchback guaranteed a hit.   Broken and deformed by a childhood fall from a seesaw, Hughie McLoon never grew taller than forty-nine inches but he grew up to be one of the lucky ones. He was chosen as the batboy and mascot of the Philadelphia Athletics. Although the team finished last in each of the three seasons that the A's rubbed his hump and Hughie tended their bats, he became a local celebrity. He loved the crowds and they loved him back.   Graduating from batboy to boxing manager, and running his own speakeasy while serving as a secret agent for the Chief of Police, Hughie was the toast of Philly until one summer night in 1928 he was caught in a murderous crossfire outside his tavern. Twenty-six years old, he bled to death on Cuthbert Street. The next day, 15,000 admirers lined up to see his four-foot corpse. The age of magic was over.   The Short Life of Hughie McLoon is Allen Abel's haunting and stylish biography of the most remarkable and beloved of the baseball mascots, and a new chapter in the complicated mythology of the American dream.

        Balloon English

        a SCORM-compliant language course

        by James Bean, Gillian Flaherty

        Balloon English is a set of interactive lessons enriched with attractive digital assets and exercises: animations, games and personalised feedback. These digital supplementary ELT materials are for grades 1-6 mainstream education and are in line with the Communicative Approach to Language Teaching. There are 312 lessons containing 2,300+ interactive screens with 5,000+ activities, animations, games and songs. Balloon English is supplied with AI-aided Grammar and Vocabulary tools that follow the students' progress and provide language content on the basis of their results. Our AI technology supports teachers and students giving essential feedback concerning areas which need revision or focus. Balloon English is filled with a wide range of fiction and non-fiction graded texts that cover a range of interesting but familiar topics. This approach allows students to gradually develop their reading and listening skills and not be overwhelmed by the text. Following the presentation, practice, production approach, comprehension of the texts is developed through a range of simple and clear exercises supported by a feedback and reward system that motivates and attracts students to language learning. Balloon English provides a truly interactive and digital experience that engages students.   Method 1. ProductBalloon English 2. MaterialsBased on a series of ELT course books published by ILTS ltd, a UK publisher, and written by Gillian Flaherty and James Bean. 3. LanguageAmerican English 4. Age group and levelPrimary Education, Grades 1-6, CEFR A15. Methodologya) Communicative Language Teaching where the focus is on meaning and texts appropriate to the context. Balloon English is a perfect tool for building students’ communication skills. It is filled with a wide range of fiction and non-fiction graded texts that cover many interesting and familiar topics. This approach allows students to gradually develop their reading and listening skills and to not be overwhelmed by the text. The series follows the acclaimed presentation-practice-production method of teaching, and comprehension of the texts is developed through a range of simple and clear exercises supported by a feedback and reward system that motivates and attracts students to language learning. b) The Presentation, Practice and Production approach is used so that the language is presented in the form of videos, slideshows, meaningful illustrations with texts, and followed by controlled practice activities, and finally used in pairs or groups more freely, in the production stage. The practice activities relate to the main topic of the lesson and enable students to build their confidence and carry out the learning tasks successfully. At the end of each lesson students have an opportunity to use the English that they have learnt and to develop fluency. Students are encouraged to work in pairs or groups, and even walk around the classroom as part of the learning process. Each Talk and play activity is accompanied by a game which on the one hand grabs students’ attention, and on the other hand encourages pair-work or group-work, and leads to the spontaneous use of learnt language. Each game is closely related to the context of the lesson. Gamification is more likely to be successful these days because students are more willing to be active participants in its implementation. They enjoy playing computer games and immediately understand and appreciate their mechanics and rules. Educational games help teachers to manage, motivate, and engage their students. c) Personalized learning is essential in communicative language teaching. Balloon English provides a rich source of material which can be personalized by the students in the more creative parts of the lesson (Talk and play), where learners are encouraged to practice what they have learnt in pairs or small groups, and in a uniquely personal way. Personalization is strongly supported by artificial intelligence (AI) which has been built into the Balloon English tools. The Grammar tool provides suggestions for individual learning paths based on the students’ results. The Vocabulary tool is a perfect drill for playing with new words and where the learning path is built on the fly. The results of each screen determine if the students receive a more easy or more difficult set of activities within a given topic. Student performance data can be easily tracked and assessed. This data provides the teacher with a range of flexible course options best suited to the learners’ needs, either for remedial teaching or for a particular focus on the relevant areas of language knowledge and skills. d) Balloon English can easily be used in a blended learning environment. It is the perfect tool to combine technology and classroom-based learning. With blended learning, Balloon English supports students’ autonomy and helps them to work independently on areas that interest them, as well as on areas that they find difficult. It also provides the possibility of undertaking additional practice. The automatic marking function gives instant feedback and encourages students to repeat exercises as needed. Students are also given hints when they face problems with activity solving and they are rewarded for correct answers which can be very motivating.

        Reeni's Turn

        by Carol Coven Grannick

        Eleven-year-old Reeni’s world is changing. Her star-of-the-senior-class, college-bound sister has no time for her, sixth grade is full of girls into makeup and diets and crushes, and something deep inside tells Reeni it’s time to become more than a shy girl in the shadows. But when she commits to dancing a solo for her retiring ballet teacher’s final recital, her lifelong fear of performing expands along with her newly-changing body. Lunch friends convince Reeni that a diet will give her courage and self-confidence, but the diet wreaks havoc with Reeni’s life. She lies to her parents, breaks up with her best friend, and loses focus on school work and dance. Reeni faces a painful choice: should she break her commitment to solo and quit dance? Or might she have hidden strengths that could help her come out of the shadows and become the girl she wants to be?

        Of Love and Other Lemons

        by Katrina Stuart Santiago

        Of Love and Other Lemons is a collection that plays with the form of the personal essay, turning it on its head, insisting on the we versus the i, the distant versus the familiar, even as it can only be about the persona/l. As such it is honest but impersonal, particularly of one but speaking of (if not for) the other, creative nonfiction premised on what remains fictional for women on this side of the third world. Here are, and ultimately, essays about being raised a girl in Manila, feminist in the academe, woman struggling with/in the silences and noise of nation everyday.

        Principles and Applications of Agricultural Meteorology

        by Alok Kumar Patra

        Weather and climate is a natural resource which is considered as a basic input in agricultural planning. It affects all the agricultural activities directly or indirectly. Agrometeorology is primarily concerned with the interactions among meteorological, hydrological and pedological factors that influence production systems in agriculture and allied sectors like horticulture, animal husbandry, fishery, forestry, etc. Thus the role of an agrometeorologist is to define all these interactions, to correlate physical environments with biological responses and apply the relevant meteorological skills to help farmers for exploiting weather conditions and improve agricultural production both in quality and quantity. This book is primarily based on the syllabus of the course ‘Agricultural Meteorology meant for under graduate students of agriculture, horticulture and forestry. This book has been divided into twenty three chapters covering all aspects of agrometeorology. Concepts, definition, importance and scope, history and future needs of agrometeorology are described in Chapter 1. Chapter 2 details the basic information of atmosphere. Chapter 3 to chapter 13 include the weather parameters like radiation, temperature, humidity, evaporation, fog and dew, pressure, wind, clouds, monsoon and precipitation and their importance in agriculture. Applied aspects of meteorology like climatic hazards, agroclimatic classification, micrometeorology of crops, weather in relation to crop pests and diseases, weather in relation to animal production, climate change, weather forecasting, remote sensing and crop simulation modelling are discussed in Chapter 14 to chapter 22. Chapter 23 describes the features of an agrometeorological observatory.

        The Outlook for Earthlings

        by Joan Frank

        The Outlook for Earthlings traces an unusual, difficult friendship across a lifetime, between women of stunningly opposite natures. Melanie Taper is timid, compelled to obey and venerate authority. Yet in unguarded moments she demonstrates such deadly insight into human foibles as to suggest a strength that has, for dark reasons, deliberately hidden itself. Scarlet Rand, by contrast, is rash, willful, and impatient of reverence of any stripe. Scarlet is shocked by Mel's passive reserve; despite her obvious gifts, Mel is—bafflingly—self-erasing. Mel's saintliness maddens Scarlet—because finally and most troublingly, Scarlet disbelieves it. Their friendship suggests to each a final frontier, a saving sanctuary. Yet at its core, a pained impasse soon becomes evident: each woman takes a secret, moral offense at the other's inmost nature—and choices. Living out these differences—against awareness of the illness which is slowly destroying one of them—proves an ultimate challenge. In each, a reckoning must occur. The Outlook for Earthlings examines what women want, amid conflicting layers of need. It ponders beginnings, endings, and Virginia Woolf's declaration that good angels must be killed. It considers the limits of friendship—and of the act of witnessing. At its heart, it asks how we may finally measure a life—and who should do the measuring.

        There are two classes of people in the Town: L and L2. The ones with citizenship are referred to as Ls, or Citizens. They are above a certain level of financial status with knowledge or skills that the Town requires. The L2s are people without citizenship but have a clean criminal record. After interview and physical examination, they can stay and work for two years in this safest and richest corporate nation on earth.   Then there are those below even the L2s, illegal aliens called the saha.

His sister, Jinkyung, vows to find out the truth, only to discover the disappearance of a saha girl who has been the test subject of the Town Medical Lab. What lies behind the impenetrable walls of the Town, and who are the mysterious seven Premiers who rule it?   Eight years in the making, SAHA MANSION is a powerful tale of dystopia and a battle cry for the dispossessed.
