Don Humphrey began teaching in 1955, and he didn''t call it quits until 2010.By then, he was approaching his seventy-seventh birthday, and he''d seen it all-and in this memoir, he looks back at what it''s been like to be a teacher throughout the years.When he first started, beginning teachers were very much on their own. If they were given any help at all, it was done so grudgingly by teachers who felt that they were overworked. One had to sink or swim. One of his earlier experiments for a senior chemistry class involved making aluminium chloride by passing chlorine gas over aluminium powder in a long glass tube. Two girls held the ends of the tube while he applied heat-until there was a blinding flash of light that turned the aluminium into aluminium chloride. The look on the girls'' faces was just as white as the flash, and while no one was hurt, he never repeated that experiment.Whether you''re a teacher, aspiring teacher, school administrator, student, or former student, you''ll enjoy this engaging memoir on what it takes to survive as a high school teacher.

Most people in the region and of the world do not know of or understand South Sudan's tribal politics. Worse still, many of them do not realize that terrorism continues to be a major challenge within the borders of this country with a population of just over twelve million and growing.In a fascinating narrative, Jada Pasquale Yengkopiong provides a historical perspective on the genocide occurring at the hands of terrorists in an often-hidden region of the world. Throughout his presentation interspersed with facts and perspectives, Yengkopiong explains the actions of Salva Kiir and his tribal regime in December 2013 and again in July 2016 during brutal tribal wars in Juba and other parts of Sudan; reveals the hidden reasons for signing peace agreements in August 2015 and then dishonoring them in September 2018; and uncovers the intentions of the Dinka tribal regime to dominate every aspect of South Sudan. By documenting the acts of the tribal leadership, Yengkopiong shines a light on a region of suffering that needs attention and care from the rest of the world if it is going to survive.The Terrorists Within shares an interesting yet frightening look at terrorism while revealing the truths about South Sudan's tribal politics.

Ellie and the Sunflowers is for children to ignite imagination, build confidence, and facilitate positive experiences when situations or environments may prompt anxiety or fear, experienced as fight, freeze, or flight. Imagination is enlivened through the story of Ellie and the metaphor of the sunflowers to help her experience a new setting. Underpinning the story is the science-neurology, biology, and psychology of emotions. It is science that informs the actions to counter unpleasant feelings of anxiety and fear, activating a calm state and confidence to initiate and to self-manage situations or environments that children may find challenging. My vision for children all over the world is for them to engage in the story and apply what they learn to foster confidence and new experiences to enjoy. Parents, teachers, family members, care givers, counsellors, cousins, and friends can leverage the story to engage children and help them to build confidence to stand up tall, to imagine, thrive and independently self-manage anxiety or fear in a simple and effective way.

In the near future, Earth is depleted of natural resources but peace reigns over the planet. Director of Space Research Joseph Samuels has an important task as he explores the universe. After so many years of silence, Earth's radio telescopes detect an intelligent signal from a small vessel heading towards our solar system. It's a miraculous scientific breakthrough, but the signal also begs the question: is Earth in danger from outside invaders? To develop a plan of action, Joseph meets with experts in religion, defense, and science. The plan is set: Earth will send two astronauts in an unarmed shuttle to intercept the incoming vessel. Luckily, the mysterious space probe locks onto the astronauts' radio signal and makes a connection. A robot named "Interface" contacts the Earth shuttle and explains he has been programmed to be peaceful, but nothing is certain in this brave new world.With information from Interface, the astronauts return to Earth and meet with Joseph. The science gleaned from Interface could change everything we ever believed about space and our place in it. With alien life no longer a theory but a fact, what will Joseph do with this new information, and what long-ranging consequences might his actions set in motion?

Witchcraft is far more than just spellcraft and celebrations. It is about honouring the ancient tradition and all the witch tools and fellowship that kept the tradition alive through the burning times before it was reawakened in the twentieth century.The Witches' Coven will help you discover the secrets, the origins, and the symbolism behind every tool of the witch. Each tool has a magickal purpose as a key within our magick circle, which is the temple of the Goddess and the God of Nature. Each tool is also a sacred key to a specific magickal power that acts as a conduit for either electrical, magnetic, electromagnetic, or alchemical change with one's will. Many modern witches are not aware of these ancient tools, which are as important today as they were thousands of years ago, both for solitary witches and for full working covens. The coven fellowship is a committed working spiritual family and is more important now in the twenty-first century than it was in the past, since we need the fellowship of a spiritual and magickal family to commit to a way of life that is as ancient as life itself. In The Witches' Coven, you can work with the tools and enjoy the activities of fellowship, becoming one with the Goddess and God and all of Nature.
