My writings have contained a heavy focus on the technological and pharmaceutical mind control because I feel that it is literally the worst thing that has ever happened to humanity. The infliction of technological and pharmaceutical mind control prevents the natural process of personal growth and can block or interfere with our Hearts and our ability to listen to our natural instincts....etc.
In my dreams, through the past decade or so,
my children are depicted as being young children (under ten years old)
even in current circumstances. And I strongly feel that this is because
their natural process of inner growth stopped when the technological
mind control vamped up on them around the late 1980s. This leaves me
deeply concerned for them as well as the rest of humanity.
Even if you do not believe in dreams, or my interpretation of this
scenario, I beg you to listen to your own common sense, which can tell
you that ANYTHING, which interferes with our natural process of
thinking and feeling also interferes with our natural process of
personal growth. And our natural process of personal growth is
needed, in order for us follow our own Hearts and grow into all that we
were born to be so that we can do our part in making our world a better,
safer, healthier and more loving place to live. Humanity needs to be
set free and our children - our future need to be protected from further
Technological mind control can interfere with, or even completely
block our most valuable tool - our Hearts. Just look around the world
and see its effects through the past few decades.
mind control can interfere with, or even completely block natural
instincts, which are needed by every human being, especially those who
work in professions like law enforcement - from local through federal.
Please THINK about this and the ramifications of dulled or blocked
instincts in mind control victims of all kinds. I beg all levels of law enforcement to openly stand up against
technological and pharmaceutical mind control for them selves as well as
of harm that technological mind control has been inflicting upon
humanity could go on and on and on. It is just too horribly wrong and
intrusive and damaging and it has to be stopped ASAP. Humanity needs to
be free to think and feel and grow...etc.
Please help set humanity free from technological mind control
and the pharmaceuticals and torturous technological targetings that aid
its process, as quickly as possible. Please do everything in your power
to help stop criminal use of all space and ground based technologies
which can emit radio waves. . .as quickly as possible.
Give us STRENGTH, God...to find our way through bullets hidden in microwaves, and COURAGE, God...to make a STAND that saves our lives and FREEs our land.

A review of 367 triplet pregnancies
The original publication is available at http://www.samj.org.za
Questionnaires were sent to 452 hospitals in the RSA and SWA/Namibia requesting information on triplet pregnancies over a 10-year period. Information on 367 sets of triplets from 150 hospitals was adequate for analysis. The incidence of triplets was 0,04% of all deliveries. As many as 45% of triplets were diagnosed during the first or second stage of labour. These infants had a significantly lower birth weight than those diagnosed at an antenatal clinic (P <0,01). The mean birth weights of babies that died in utero or neonatally (within 7 days) were significantly lower than those in survivors (P <0,0001). Caesarean section was the delivery method for 14% of 1002 infants and perinatal mortality was improved for the second and third babies in comparison with second and third babies delivered vaginally (P <0,003 and P <0,002 respectively). It is concluded that the diagnosis of triplets should be made at the earliest possible stage of pregnancy, and that following adequate antenatal care all triplets should be delivered by caesarean section, except under ideal uncomplicated conditions where vaginal delivery may be feasible.

This was really bad. It's all egg-whites -- needs flour or something to give it a bit more structure. I checked the recipe to make sure I didn't miss any ingredients. This went in the garbage. I usually have good luck with epicurious recipes that get good ratings: not sure where the disconnect is here.
I love souffles, but had never made before. Texture came out right, but I also found it very sweet (and didn't even make the mocha sauce). I'd probably remove 1 tablespoon of sugar. I filled up 2 10 oz ramekins and probably could have divided the mixture up into 3. Will definitely try this again.
As everyone else said... easy, amazing and looks really fancy. Actually like it plain... no need for the mocha sauce.
I found that I had to use 10oz ramekins since in the 6oz ones it was overflowing so much that I could have made 4 in the 6 oz. it was very good though, seemed like we had more to eat with the same calories!!!
very good, bordering on excellent, but i prefer the warm chocolate souffles on this same page
Too Sweet - I would resuce the amount of sugar to about 3-3.5 tablespoons for the whole recipe, instead of 5 tablespoons as mentioned... Otherwise great!
I have made this recipe at least four times with perfect results. Not only does this taste marvelous, but the presentation makes you look like a master chef in front of your guests. Use the guide to make the sauce and custard in advance. Most helpful.
This recipe was surprisingly fast and simple to make. It also tasted delicious and got rave reviews from my family! I served it with fresh berries in addition to the mocha sauce - yummy!!
How is it that the souffle has 225 calories and 5 grams of fat? I don't see any fat in the ingredients. Mocha sauce is almost zero fat, don't you think?
This is a fast and elegant souffle. I can only wait until it's time to make it again! My husband raved about it and we both savored each and every bite!

University of Nebraska–Lincoln research projects that focus on Walt Whitman and black homesteaders recently earned funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
The awards were part of $22.2 million in new grants for 224 humanities projects across the United States recently announced by the federal agency.
Jon Parrish Peede, chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities, said the projects exemplify the power of the humanities to educate, enrich and enlighten.
“It is a joy to be able to announce new projects that will produce vibrant humanities programs and resources for the reopening of our cultural centers and educational institutions,” he said.
Campus projects that earned the awards are listed below.
Walt Whitman Archive
The Walt Whitman Archive, published by the Center for Digital Research in the Humanities, received $349,856 for a site renovation that will bolster its accessibility.
Matt Cohen, professor of English, and Ken Price, Hillegass University Professor of American Literature, will lead the project, titled “Walt Whitman Archive Infrastructure Revitalization.”
Through the project, Cohen and Price aim to make it easier to search and use the materials on the Walt Whitman Archive by improving the digital architecture. Tasks include: changing the programming framework; creating a machine-readable interface for the website’s code, images, and metadata; revising files to improve the metadata; and leveraging existing metadata through a new search engine.
Cohen and Price recognized Karin Dalziel and Elizabeth Lorang of University Libraries as instrumental to the receipt of the award.
“[We] applaud the stellar work of Karin — she took the lead in conceptualizing the proposal and drafting the grant,” Price said. “She deserves the lion’s share of the credit.”
“Liz was the driving force behind our early attempt at this,” Cohen added.
Great Plains Studies
Scholars from the Center for Great Plains Studies received $75,000 in support for a traveling exhibition, titled, “Staking Their Claim: Black Homesteaders and the Promise of Land in the Great Plains.”
Project co-directors Richard Edwards, the center’s director, and Mikal Eckstrom, a postdoctoral researcher at the center, will develop the exhibition, which will feature photographs of black homesteaders on the Great Plains. The exhibition will be shown in museums throughout the region.
“This project extends the center’s eight-year study of homesteading,” Edwards said. “Before the Great Migration, there was a smaller migration of African-Americans to the Great Plains to claim land. We want to illustrate their lives through photographs.”
Homesteading was a central feature of the Euro-American, African-American and immigrant settlement of the Great Plains. On May 20, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Homestead Act, which offered settlers 160 acres of free public land. Settlers had to pay a small processing fee, live on the claim for five years and fulfill some other requirements to obtain the land title.
Several thousand African-Americans successfully homesteaded in the region and claimed roughly 650,000 acres of prairie land.
“The exhibition seeks to engage the public with this important and complicated history to help Americans better understand our shared past,” Eckstrom said.

Do It Anyway
Wendell Berry keeps going back to this poem by Hayden Carruth, a poet Wendell deeply admires. The poem is a reply. Someone asked Carruth...
This blog is my attempt to answer questions I've pondered for 30 years:
How can I live up to the ideas and example of Wendell Berry?
How can I help reshape the world along the lines of his thought?
Can I fight on, like him, despite loss upon loss?
Using his work, keeping his company, reflecting on his life, I'm still at it.
Walking and talking with him, in my imagination.
Thanks for reading.

Green seaweed cultured in Mexico
In previous research, the authors have showed that the substitution of artificial feed binders with seaweed meal increased the water absorption of shrimp pellets and improved their texture while maintaining adequate pellet integrity. Shrimp-feeding results in the lab showed that a 2 to 4 percent inclusion of seaweed was cost-efficient, improved feed consumption, promoted faster growth, and had adequate attractant efficacy.
Green seaweed production
Commercial culture of the green seaweed Enteromorpha (recently renamed Ulva clathrata) began recently in Mexico. Previously, seaweed production was dominated by brown seaweeds like wild-harvested Macrocystis from Mexico, Ascophyllum, and Laminaria, and red seaweeds like Eucheuma produced in other countries. In the past, green seaweeds were confined to small niche markets because of their high costs of production, but using new technology, Enteromorpha can now be produced at a price competitive with other seaweeds.
Enteromorpha has several features that make it interesting as a potential ingredient in shrimp feed. It is highly regarded as a food item in Asia, with a reputation as a health food. It contains the sulfated polysaccharide ulvan, which can help in pellet binding and also has potential antiviral activity. Enteromorpha has two to three times higher protein content than other seaweeds and various vitamins and minerals. It is also an excellent source of carotenoids, which contribute to shrimp pigmentation.
The authors recently conducted research to assess the potential of Enteromorpha meal as an ingredient in commercial shrimp feed formulation. They compared the green seaweed Ulva clathrata with two kelp seaweeds commonly used in shrimp feed, Macrocystis and Ascophyllum. Standard pelleted test diets with 3.3 percent Macrocystis, Ascophyllum, or Enteromorpha were compared with respect to pellet stability and texture, shrimp growth performance, and shrimp pigmentation.
Enteromorpha has higher protein and carotenoid levels and approximately 30 percent lower hydrocolloid levels than those in Macrocystis and Ascophyllum. Instead of the mix of alginates and sulfated fucoidan typical of Macrocystis and Ascophyllum, Enteromorpha has only sulfated ulvan.
Despite its lower hydrocolloid levels, Enteromorpha had acceptable binding properties with significantly better retention of dry matter (Fig. 1) and superior water absorption. Increased water absorption results in a softer pellet that shrimp eat more readily than harder pellets.
Growth of the (Litopenaeus vannamei) was greater in shrimp fed pellets containing Enteromorpha than those with Macrocystis or Ascophyllum (Fig. 2). Similarly, feed with Enteromorpha produced the best feed-conversion ratio (1.78 at 28 days) (Fig. 3), and its amino acid contribution was higher than that of Macrocystis or Ascophyllum.
Red coloration after cooking was markedly darker in animals fed the Enteromorpha diet due to the high carotenoid levels typical of Enteromorpha. Shrimp with greater pigmentation typically have better consumer appeal.
Of the three seaweeds tested, Enteromorpha had the best nutritional and functional properties as an ingredient in shrimp aquafeeds. Its possible antiviral and immunological properties will be the subject of further research.

WOW!! Everyone got such lovely pieces!! And mad money is THE BEST for treasure hunting!
I bought myself 2 items for Christmas. The first is a set of lovely 1940s 14k WG Buttercup drop earrings, est. 1.3 tcw. I saw and was tempted by a smaller set on JbG for 4x as much, so when I saw these, I JUMPED on them!
The second is a lovely little 18k WG F VS 1.33 tcw bangle for everyday use. It is SOOOO glittery!! I love having it. I picked up the 6 stone ring in this image about 8 months ago, it's also from the '40s, and I got it for a song. G/H VS 6 x .17 = 1.02. I love vintage pieces so much, I love their character.
Love everything but those buttercup drop earrings ooooh so lovely. And they go amazingly well with the smaller set.

This mermaid theme first birthday party features a beautiful mixture of aqua and soft pastels,…
For her little one’s birthday, crafty mama Kristy threw an adorable mermaid and pirate party with a color scheme of black, white, and hot pink. Almost everything was made by hand, and personalized stickers pop up in almost every project, so three-year-old Ainslee’s party features lots of sweet touches!
Blue paper streamers and green ruffled streamers serve as a sea-worthy backdrop behind the sweets table.
Ainslee’s banner was homemade using personalized mermaid stickers, a variety of colored and patterned papers, twine, and tulle.
The food table featured Pirate’s Booty, submarine sandwiches, peanut butter and jellyfish sandwiches, and seaweed and coral (veggies).
The peanut butter and jellyfish sandwiches were packaged individually in paper bags, with a personalized sticker sealing each one shut. Stickers were also used to make the food labels.
The “oyster” cookies are Nilla Wafers sandwiched with frosting. For the pearl you could use an edible pearl, large sixlets, a yogurt-covered raisin, or a mini marshmallow.
The “Sail the 7 Seas Jello” is so cute! It’s blue Jello topped with whipped cream and a candy boat with a little sail. (Check out this recipe but use a gummy fruit slice instead of fresh fruit.)
The goldfish bar (with a homemade sign) says, “Take a box and make a mix. Sea creatures are the perfect hunger fix!” There are three goldfish bowls filled with three types of Goldfish Crackers, so guests can choose whichever flavors they like best.
Kristy made treat boxes using white French fry boxes, filling them with pirate and mermaid theme trinkets.
What a sweet little mermaid Ainslee is! Thank you so much for sharing, Kristy! : )

If you’re thinking of starting a new sports hobby, then the first thing that you need to do, is to make sure that you are wearing the right kind of clothing that will allow you to work properly and to enjoy what you’re doing. There is no reason why anyone should look bad when there trying out a new sport and for those of you who think that simply pulling on an old T-shirt, a pair of shorts and some tennis shoes is going to be enough to protect you when you work out, then you’re going to be sadly mistaken. I cannot emphasise enough the importance of wearing the right sports apparel to avoid burns, rashes and sports injuries.
It doesn’t really matter what kind of new sport that you’re going to take up, because all sports require particular sports clothing. For example, if you want to go scuba diving, snorkeling or just go swimming in the ocean, then you can buy wetsuits online to help protect your skin and your body from the cold and from critters that want to sting you. Thankfully, there are many different types and styles sports clothing to choose from and we really are spoilt for choice. Here are some of the main reasons why you should always wear the right kind of clothing when you work out.
– High levels of comfort – Taking up a new hobby and engaging in an active sport is all about getting fit, keeping yourself active and also being comfortable while you do so. We always want to avoid any kind of skin irritation or chafing because trying to run or to do any activity with your skin burning, takes away all of the fun of the activity itself. The right kind of sports clothing doesn’t restrict your range of motion, and it allows you to stretch as well. Wearing the right kind of sports clothing can protect you from injury while also increasing your confidence. There are probably many sports remedies that you have not heard of, but you can be sure that the right clothing will help prevent injuries in the first place.
– Safety and visibility – No matter what sport you were doing, you want to make sure that other people can see you clearly. If, for example, you are snorkeling in the ocean, then you want boats and other watercraft to be able to see you clearly in the water so that they don’t hit you. If you’re riding a bicycle or are running on the roads, then it is imperative that other road users are people to see you from quite a distance away. There are certain times of the day when it is particularly difficult to see you, and if you’re wearing the right sports gear that incorporates reflective additions as well, then you are taking the right steps to get yourself seen. To learn more about keeping yourself safe when taking part in a sport, have a look here.
These are only two of the many reasons why you should always take the time to learn about the right kind of sports clothing for the particular in sport that you intend to begin. It’s important that your new activity is fun and in order for it to be fun, you need to be comfortable. The right kind of clothing helps to keep your muscles warm and this will help you to avoid any unnecessary injuries.

The things parents do for their children! This is another such heart-warming story, of food artist-cum-dad Adam Perry, who is better known by his Instagram account--2slicesoftoast. Perry has been creating beautiful creatures, sculptures and food-art for his daughters, one of whom is suffering from severe food allergies.
And since the daughter who has the food allergies is only allowed to eat white bread with sunflower-oil spread for breakfast, Adam has made sure to keep things interesting for her.
"I started to feel really sorry for her that her breakfast was so boring everyday--the same, old two slices of white toast," Perry told ABC News.
"So I started playing with toast to get her excited about her breakfast again and to make both the girls laugh when they come down to eat," he said.
And some of his cool food artworks include the Brooklyn Bridge, the Colosseum, the Eiffel Tower, a staircase to heaven, among other amazing things.
"I decided to open an Instagram account (@2slicesoftoast) dedicated to toast, just for fun, and vowed to my kids that I'd create something out of toast every morning for at least a year to make them smile, and that's how it started," Perry told ABC7NY.
So far, his Instagram account has got more than 5k followers (at the time of publishing this story).

The vibrant collection of kitchenware and entertaining essentials merges Eric’s West African heritage with his NYC upbringing
CHICAGO, /PRNewswire/ — Today, Crate & Barrel announces its collection with chef, host, and cookbook author Eric Adjepong. The collection was inspired by Eric’s Ghanaian roots and New York City hometown aesthetic to bring his passion for cooking and entertaining to customers’ homes. With over 60 pieces of cookware, glassware, serveware and decor, the collection features traditions common to West African culture and a flare only found in the Big Apple.
“The expertise Crate & Barrel brings to the table is unmatched, so I couldn’t imagine a better partner to seamlessly bring the sky-high vision for my first kitchen collection to life,” said Eric Adjepong. “The food, clothing and jewelry that influenced this collection bring important parts of my past to people’s kitchens and living rooms to make cooking and entertaining pieces as functional art.”
From the Ghanaian-made market tote to the Didi Ketoa appetizer plates, each product brings Crate & Barrel’s elevated yet functional design to both everyday life and special gatherings. Inspired by West African beads, the Didi Ketoa plates are just one example of how Eric’s history shines through the collection. Reminiscent of an art installation, one of Chef Eric’s favorite pieces is the Sobolo glass punch bowl with a green marble base and Akan-inspired Nkwanta Hammered Brass Punch Ladle. The bowl makes any drink station the center point for welcoming family and friends.

“We help customers build intentional homes, with the kitchen at the heart of the home, so our collection with Chef Eric weaves this purpose into everyday cooking and entertaining,” said Alicia Waters, Brand President, Crate & Barrel. “Kitchen collaborations that tell a story, like Eric’s, allow our customers to fill their home with meaningful items.”
Eric Adjepong for Crate & Barrel’s exclusive collaboration will be available in-stores and online at Crate & Barrel beginning March 21. You can shop the full collection at crateandbarrel.com/chef-eric-adjepong.

The President of the Community of Madrid, Isabel Díaz Ayuso , reported this Sunday that a cousin of his has died of this disease, after having been very serious, and has transferred all those who have lost family members who are not “alone”.
“My cousin Guille has just passed away. Father of 5 wonderful children, an exemplary husband. Those of you who are infected, have lost family members or are desperate to be locked up, know that you are not alone. We are facing this war among all ”, Ayuso has written on his Twitter account.
Acaba de fallecer mi primo Guille. Padre de 5 niños maravillosos, un marido ejemplar.
Los que estéis contagiados, hayáis perdido a familiares o estéis desesperados por estar encerrados, sabed que no estáis solos.
Esta guerra la encaramos entre todos. 😷 💪🏼
— Isabel Díaz Ayuso (@IdiazAyuso) March 22, 2020
Previously, in an interview with El Mundo, he already indicated that a cousin of his “was one of the first” affected and that he was “still very serious in the hospital.”
“I am alone and isolated. I miss a simple walk through my beautiful Madrid. But I do not lose contact with mine. I have created a chat called ‘I passed the coronavirus’ with friends who have also been infected, to give them optimism. I have put a bottle of Mahou as an avatar ”, he related in this interview.
I am alone and isolated. I miss a simple walk through my beautiful Madrid. But I don’t lose touch with mine ”

Multilingualism and Family Welfare
Parents who are from different language backgrounds often hope that their children will be able to speak their heritage language1 (e.g., Takeuchi 2006; Wang 2008). With the rising political and cultural consciousness about promoting and maintaining heritage language in global communities and with a growing body of research literature, as well as parenting advice books and magazines, reporting the benefits of being multilingual,2 more and more parents now view multilingualism as a laudable goal and strive to provide their children with opportunities to develop more than one language (e.g., King and Fogle 2006; Peyton, Ranard, and McGinnis 2001; Wang 2008 and 2011; see also Montrul, chapter 7, this volume). As a result, the number of multilingual families is on the rise, even in many of the ‘officially monolingual’ countries. For example, the recent American Community Survey reports that approximately 20% of U.S. population age five and over speak a language other than English at home.3
There are undoubtedly many advantages and excitements associated with raising multilingual children, and there are also many challenges related to it. Multilingual families typically reside in a place other than the parents’ country/community of origin. They must construct their own unique identities and make their own unique family childrearing and language decisions in addition to coping with many other intricacies associated with ...

Chapter 14: Conscious Dying
Then he writes in the second book that it is not possible to prove God through pure reason, but practical reason needs him. So God is not a rational hypothesis, but, practically, a reasonable hypothesis. Without God the whole thing will become unreasonable. So he says God is - not that God is, but because God is needed. Without God man is not possible. So if God is not, he has to be invented because only then does morality become possible.
For us there are so many hypotheses like this. We go on believing in them - not that we know, but if we don’t believe in them then we will know our ignorance, our deep ignorance. We want to avoid it, we want to escape from it.
Contentment to us is really a deep escape. We cannot fight life. We try, but we cannot succeed in it. No one ever succeeds. Everyone comes upon barriers; there are limitations. Not only those who are weak, but also those who are very strong in our eyes, who are more strong than others and who come a little further ahead, they also come to barriers. And from those barriers there is no escape. Even a Napoleon has to die. Even an Alexander comes to know things which he cannot conquer. Then what to do?
One thing is to remain continuously in discontent. That will become a cancer. You cannot sleep it off, you cannot forget it any moment. It will become a continuous worry, an inner cancer in the mind. So you create a facade of contentment: “I am a contented man. It is not that I cannot overcome these barriers but I don’t want to.” This is a rationalization: “I don’t want to. It is not that I cannot win but I am not interested in winning.” You withdraw yourself and you give a rational flavor to it.
This contentment is a rationalization, a shrewd, cunning rationalization. This gives you a certain hope that if you want to you can do it.
Look at it in this way. I have known many people. One man I know, he is a habitual alcoholic. For thirty years he has been trying to drop alcohol. He cannot drop it. it has become impossible. But still he goes on saying, he will come to me and he will say, “Any day I can drop it - if I will it.” And he has tried continuously for thirty years. He has willed so many times, and was defeated, and again he would fall. But he still goes on saying, “If I will, I can drop this habit in a moment.”
Because of this hope that “If I will” he still feels that he is not a defeated man. He is already a defeated man, but this hope allows him to live. He goes on thinking that he is not a slave, any moment he can drop it. He is only not dropping it because he doesn’t want to drop it.
So one day I asked him, “You go on saying ‘If I will..’ But have you not tried so many times, have you not willed so many times, to drop it?”
So he said, “Yes, I have tried many times, but the effort was not really wholehearted.”
So I asked him, “Have you tried any time when the effort was wholehearted?”
He said, “No! If I try wholeheartedly I can drop it this very moment.”
So I asked him, “Is it possible for you to do it wholeheartedly? Is it in your capacity to will it wholeheartedly? Is your will your own?”


“The Yandex.Phone comes pre-loaded with Android 8.1 Oreo-based Yandex.Launcher”
Yandex – the Google of Russia – has announced its first-ever smartphone in the country. Dubbed as Yandex.Phone, the handset boots Android 8.1 Oreo with Yandex.Launcher out of the box. Having built Russia’s widely used search engine, the company is trying to diversify itself into the virtual assistant, smart speaker, and applications to stay competitive in the market. Yandex is trying to do what Google did a few years back by launching its Pixel-series of hardware products.
Coming back to Yandex.Phone, the handset sports pretty unremarkable features. The Snapdragon 630 chipset that it employs is a year older and feels dated. The SoC has been paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB native storage with support for microSD card. The display is also a regular 5.65-inch 18:9 aspect ratio LCD panel with a resolution of full HD+(1,080 x 2,160p).
On the bright side, the Yandex.Phone comes with the company’s intelligent assistant – Alice – for a hands-free access. It also comes with Yandex suite of apps to further enhance the experience. For photography, the device features a pair of 16-megapixel shooters on the rear with LED flash and a 5-megapixel shooter on the front for selfies. A 3,050mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0 technology fuels the device. Other features include connectivity options like NFC, GPS, and GLONASS.
“We built Yandex.Phone to offer Russian users a smartphone that is equipped with all the localized tools that help users better navigate their daily routines,” Yandex official Fyodor Yezhov was quoted as saying in a press release.
The Yandex.Phone has been priced at RUB 17,990 (~Rs 19,000) in Russia. The handset goes for sale starting today via Yandex Store in Moscow, and from December 7th onwards on Yandex’s online store as well as Russian carrier Beeline and other Russian electronics stores.

Job searching can be tough. It’s easy to become frustrated and discouraged, and lose your confidence. As a career coach, I’ve found that almost every job seeker I speak with needs a positive attitude boost along with the resume or interview situation they called me about.
Staying positive during your job search is not just nice—it’s necessary. Negative thinking slips into your speech and your actions, derailing you in many different ways. Positive thinking helps you feel better AND get hired faster.
I found a great article from Mark Tyrrell on How to Stop Negative Thinking in 7 Simple Steps that I want to apply to your job search to help you stay positive. We’re going to look at Mark’s steps one at a time, with our job search goggles on.
So here is Part 1 of my 7-part series, How to Stop Negative Thinking and Stay Positive in Your Job Search.
Step 1 – Stop thinking in extremes
Mark says that negative thinkers tend to view anything bad in an extreme way (all or nothing thinking). For example, instead of “I’m nervous about my speech,” or “I may flub a line,” you think, “I’m going to bomb this speech and everyone will hate me.”
In a job search, this thinking looks like this:
- Instead of, “I didn’t get that interview,” you think, “I must not be good enough to get an interview. I’ll probably never get an interview on my own.”
- Instead of, “I didn’t get that job offer,” you think, “I’m terrible at interviewing and no one will ever hire me.”
The TRUTH is that just because you didn’t do as well as you wanted to in the past, doesn’t mean that you can’t make a change and do better in the future.
Karen had 18 interviews over 11 months and didn’t get the job offer in any of them. Was she doomed? Of course not. She learned how to improve her interview answers, did a much better job on the next 2 interviews, and got hired.
I am happy to report that I have landed a job with the State of Idaho, administrative support in the International Business Division. Thank you for all of your support, encouragement, and for providing the tools necessary to put into the full-time search effort.
I originally found Peggy’s videos searching on You Tube. A month or so prior, I had blown a second interview on an inside sales position…Simply the deer in the headlights syndrome for some of my behavioral interview answers.
Being depressed about this for weeks, I mean laying around in my PJ’s, dazed and in a real funk. I finally got out of the pity party and found your videos, ultimately leading me to sign up for Total Access Coaching, which has really made a difference, and so worth the investment.
I feel so much more confidence and felt hope, that there would be light at the end of the tunnel. After almost a year of unemployment, the rejection can wear on you. I had 20 interviews over 11 months, but only felt I did a great job on the last 2 of them, thanks to my study of your materials.
Attitude is everything! My resume was okay (it was generating interviews), but I did tweak it with more keywords based on your suggestions. What really helped was studying my answers to questions and practice. It’s really amazing – you know yourself, but putting it into words when you’re nervous and so much is on the line, is really difficult. It was nice to hear you say that I wasn’t the only one that was having this difficulty.
Thank you again for all you do and sharing your knowledge. I will spread the word and share my good fortune of discovering you.
Karen’s story shows us that even in the face of 18 rejections, things can change for the better. Job searching, resume writing, and interviewing are skills that most people don’t use on a regular basis. Sharpen your skills and you will see a positive result.
If you know you need help to sharpen your skills, attend one of our free job search webinars this week. In each one, I spend the better part of an hour telling you what you need to know and do in order to be successful.
If you need more specific help right now, find your solution below:
- If you are not getting interviews, upgrade your resume with my Extreme Resume Makeover Kit.
- If you need to find more jobs and get interviews, use my Hidden Jobs Finder to find jobs AND get interviews for them.
- If you are getting interviews but not offers, practice your interview answers with these Job Interview Question and Answer Videos and bring a 30-60-90-Day Plan. (See my video, Why 30-60-90-Day Plans Make Interviewers Love You.)

A recent earnings report from Ubisoft references an “unannounced franchise title.”
The report doesn’t offer further information on what the game could be, but mentions it alongside known upcoming sequels The Crew 2 and The Division 2, which rules those out as possibilities. We also know it would be coming before March 31, 2019, which marks the end of Ubisoft’s fiscal year.
While we don’t know for sure which franchise the report is referring to, Ubisoft has several popular series to choose from.
Ubisoft usually releases new Assassin’s Creed games in October or November – the most recent installment, Assassin’s Creed Origins, launched last October. Far Cry’s latest installment, Far Cry 5, launched earlier this year, with three pieces of DLC still on the way. Meanwhile, Watch Dogs 2 came out back in November 2016.


The government of Philippines is planning to raise between $300 and $500 million through securitizing the gambling revenues of the Philippine Gaming and Amusement Corporation (Pagcor), a state-owned entity that controls the national lottery and casinos located throughout the country.
The securities will have a maturity of between five and 10 years and carry a sovereign rating, according to finance secretary Edgardo B. Espiritu. Since the issue will not be guaranteed by the government, proceeds will not be included in the $8 billion foreign borrowing limit imposed on the Philippines by the International Monetary Fund for this year.
Despite the official statements, sources said the likelihood of completing such a deal before year-end was doubtful. "It's not impossible, but it won't be easy, especially coming from the Philippines," commented one Asian ABS banker.

What if there was a way to fight cancer without declaring all-out war on the cancer cells (and typically destroying your hair and white blood cells in the process)? Yeah, sounds good to me, too.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins are working out an entirely new approach to the treatment of cancer which alters the skeletons of the cancer cells to prevent their division and halt their conquest of the body. They’ve already identified a compound which may have a shot at fighting pancreatic cancer with — they hope — “less potential for side effects” than current methods.
That compound, 4-HAP, is currently being tested on mice. If it proves effective, it may pave the way for the identification of compounds that affect other forms of cancer.

Luke has been reminding me regularly, that it is only "x" more weeks until Halloween and we need to start decorating. Some of our homeschooling friends had the same idea, so eleven boys and three moms got together for a fall potluck slash craftapalooza. Together we experimented with bleach painting t'shirts, dipping leaves in beeswax, paper mache lanterns, and necklace making. Us moms picked crafts that we'd been wanting to do for a long time, because we know our boys. As soon as you try to plan an activity for them, they hang out for about five minutes and then run off to create some elaborate game. Which, by the way, is just how we like it.
I was also able to knit up one more sample for the Harvest Sweater. I don't have any wee ones in our family to give it to, so I'm going to list it in the shop! It's a size 2 in oatmeal and black wool with birch tree buttons down the front. You can find all specific listings here.
What projects are you working on lately?
A few of you have asked and emailed about the how to make the beeswax dipped leaves, so here's what we did: In a tiny crockpot, melt 1lb of beeswax. I picked our beeswax up from the local beekeeper, but you can find it on etsy too. Next, hold your leaf by the stem and completely submerge it into the melted wax. Lift it out and let the excess drip off. It will harden up very quickly and then lay it on a piece of parchment paper. We experimented with both pressed leaves and fresh leaves; both turned out lovely, but the fresh leaves were more vibrant in color. We also tried other objects, just for fun. Flower petals, cicada and beetle shells, and illustrations from old dictionaries!

D. R. Congo, Katanda Yellow mill, Isale, fully washed process
Black cherry, red grape, molasses
The Democratic Republic of Congo is a land of enormous potential, and also some real difficulties. We've known of the coffee-producing regions in the far east of the country, and the export company from whom this coffee comes via (Virunga Coffee), for several years, and so we're delighted to be able to bring it to you. It comes from a diamond of a mill, called Katanda Yellow, from the region of Isale, between the cities of Butembo, and Beni.
All the requirements are in place in the DRC for amazing specialty coffee. Perfect terrain, verdant green hills, plenty of rainfall, deep fertile soils, great varietals like this Red Bourbon, and plentiful sunshine. What has been missing is the infrastructure and the political stability for this to flourish. These are early days, but despite the ongoing troubles in the North Kivu region, amazing coffee like this is able to be exported. It's grown by 347 farmers, who will have about 0.2 - 0.4 of a hectare each, at an altitude of 1520 - 1780 metres. It's processed by the fully washed method, at the Katanda mill, and then sent to Butembo for dry milling and packing ready for export.
There's a wonderful jammy-ness to this coffee, whatever the brew method. In espresso, there's a big hit of black cherry and a sticky molasses-like sweetness. In filter and cafetière, there's also a lovely red grape acidity and vibrancy to it, with the fruitiness coming to the fore. We only have a small amount of this coffee , so it wonlt hang around long, but we're real excited to bring this yellow diamond to light.

hello hello! this is my first interview with a gardener post! i have been waiting patiently to get started on my process of interviewing and showcasing all the lovely gardeners and gardens that i know and have inspired me. i have been planning to begin this series of posts when i made the terri planty blog in the first place but i got so busy with my business. so today we begin this journey of posts with a very special person in my life.
the first interview with a gardener is Chris VanDeusen. she is a talented landscape consultant and works at an adorable nursery, sheridan gardens. chris gave birth to my childhood bff, miss megan. i grew up in their garden playing in their tree house, creating fashion shows on their lawn and camping in their secret garden in the back. it holds so many memories. the house is packed with character, a bungalow in a happy shade of yellow, surrounded by gorgeous flora that is always changing, blooming and booming with color and texture. chris and her garden were one of my earliest horticultural influences.
i sat down with chris and asked her some questions about herstory with plants...
what is your earliest memory of working with plants?
1978 when i went to work as a cashier at mel-o-dee nursery in north hollywood.
when did your interest in plants / gardening begin? did anyone in particular or a specific moment inspire you?
at that time it may have been 1976, inspiration came from working at the nursery. at one time i had over 50 plants in my apartment living room.
where was your first garden?
in this house which we bought in 1987.
what is your process for designing your personal garden and / or others landscapes?
i like to putter in my garden. it is eclectic and evolves over time. i bring plants home from the nursery and see how they do in my garden. when i do other people's gardens i ask them questions like what colors they like, what types of plants and overall look do they want.
where do you seek references, research, inspiration or ideas?
i get most of my ideas from the nursery or driving around looking at landscapes. i also like the magazines "better homes & gardens" and "sunset". when i go on vacation i love checking out the nurseries in the area. sunset western garden book is my bible.
favorite garden tools...
gloves!! pruners and hand trowel.
favorite indoor plants..
chinese evergreen and philodendron cordatum
favorite outdoor plants...
coneflower, sweetpeas, brunfelsia, ficus benjamina, silver sheen pittosporum, varigated erisimum, succulents, old fashion violets, campanula, roses, sweet pea bush, salvia and sages etc. (there are so many!)
what are your favorite nurseries and public gardens?
sheridan gardens, sperling's in calabasas, rogers gardens in newport beach and descanso gardens.
favorite spot in your garden...
my tiny backyard is like a secret garden
favorite thing about YOUR garden...
that i have figured out over the years what works and what doesn't get bugs, diseases and what looks good together and how it all evolves into something that nature planned not me!
do you have any final gardening tips to leave us with?
a garden is a work in progress, always changing and evolving with the seasons. don't be afraid to jump in and try different things. the plant world is always changing. try new things and relax and enjoy. remember the number one killer in the home garden is too much water!
p.s. like the title "interview with a gardener"? it is kinda my spin on interview with a vampire... hee hee. gardners like vampires like to play with mortality, life, death, nature, romance...
i know. i am dork. so what! :)

“Am I to be thought the only criminal when all human kind has sinned against me?” As a creator, Victor Frankenstein abandons his creature, and neglects him in ways a creator shouldn’t. This shapes his identity and shows that he is in fact monstrous in the way he acts towards the creature. He quotes in the book “He showed unparalleled malignity and selfishness in evil”; this is quiet an ironic quote Mary Shelley has used, as Victor is in fact the evil and egotistical being between the two. The use of emotive language as the Creature tells his story, allows the reader to feel sympathy for the creature. We begin to realize the true identity of the creature, and how it is more humane then humanity itself.
Gothic Texts such as the film Edward Scissor hands and the novel Frankenstein are some examples that explores the inner psyche of the characters minds, maximising suspense and fear through the use of a physically-disabled protagonist whose ultimate fate and violence are a result of the corrupted modern-society. In both texts, the eponymous protagonist-Edward and the monster are created unnaturally by a “father” thus this notion of man playing god is present. Because of this abnormity, both characters are physically-disabled with Edward having scissors as hands and the monster being completely hideous which is evident through the lexical chain of gruesome descriptions “his skin lustrous black..yellow skin..watery eyes…shrivelled complexion..”. This physical unusualness is what makes them initially seem like the monster in the normal society. However, both Burton and Shelley elicit this sympathetic response from the audience because both Edward and especially the monster are so misunderstood.
Domestic affection is the sense of belonging and love one feels when people are accepted by family and friends. Shelly believes that when people loses this affection they begin to make immoral decisions and lose their sense of humanity, and this is when they become truly monstrous. When Frankenstein is read from this perspective, the creature isn’t the only monster in the story. Robert Walton, captain of the ship, also has the potential to be monstrous, and so too do victor, the general population, and the social institutions within the world of Frankenstien. Through the actions committed in the play, Victor Frankenstein becomes one of the most monstrous characters in the story.
Humans do not offer any consolation to the creature, when humans lay their eyes upon him the reactions is harsh and crushing. The creature asks Victor for a mate much like himself to console his loneliness and fulfill his wishes. When he receives his mate, the creature offers to leave Victor and his family alone in peace. Victor has a longing thirst for knowledge. Victor Frankenstein attended the university of Ingolstadt and studied science.
One of the most important aspects of any gothic novel is setting. Mary Shelly's Frankenstein is an innovative and disturbing work that weaves a tale of passion, misery, dread, and remorse. Shelly reveals the story of a man's thirst for knowledge which leads to a monstrous creation that goes against the laws of nature and natural order. The man, Victor Frankenstein, in utter disgust, abandons his creation who is shunned by all of mankind yet still feels and yearns for love. The monster then seeks revenge for his life of loneliness and misery.
9) Frankenstein's creature explains his anger, saying, "There was non among the myriads of men that existed who would pity or assist me; and should I feel kindness towards my enemies?ï¿½ No: from that moment I declared everlasting war against the species, and, more than all, against him who had formed me and sent me forth to this insupportable misery." Important quotes - Monster “I ought to be thy Adam; but I am rather the fallen angel." Chapter 10 "I admired virtue and good feelings and loved the gentle manners and amiable qualities of my cottagers, but I was shut out from intercourse with them,
Terrified of what he has created, Doctor Frankenstein hides away while the monster wanders about causing havoc in the town and eventually returns to seek revenge on his creator1. Shelley uses the characters in this document as metaphors, Doctor Frankenstein metaphorically represent an anti-Romanticist as well as an anti-feminist because he tries to outwit nature by creating life from death and also trying to create life without a female partner. This seems relevant to the time because Romanticism, which is the love of nature and its untamable and unpredictable power, was popular as stated above. The monster that Doctor Frankenstein creates can be seen as a metaphoric character that represents the fear of advancements in enlightenment science because the monster is a scientific creation that many fear that eventually scientists may create. The document analysis essay will further elaborate, discuss and support these points mentioned above.
But just like all the female characters in the story, her character has little substance. Victor's character is described in detail, as is that of the monster, and Henry Clerval. When Henry gets killed, sympathy is really felt toward Victor, because he has just lost his lifetime friend. When Elizabeth is murdered, the reader finds it hard to connect with what Frankenstein is feeling. Elizabeth
The Monster in the Lab Coat Many literary critics have long argued a question regarding Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein: Who is the real monster? One can argue that, throughout the novel, it is Victor Frankenstein, the overly ambitious scientist, who is the true monster. Victor Frankenstein is depicted as a callous creator who shows no empathy to his own innocent creature. Frankenstein fails his responsibility as a creator and abandons his creation to a life full of abhorrence. The creature has infinite potential, but it is Frankenstein’s prideful nature and negligence that makes the creature become “monstrous”.
This film shows the importance of how one treats others is more important than how one is made, and this is a product of nurture one receives. In the film, Frankenstein, Frankenstein, the scientist, decides to create a life with his knowledge of science. When Frankenstein succeeds in creating a life, the creature tends to respect and obey Frankenstein’s rules. However, the cruelty of Fritz, Dr. Waldman, and the carelessness of Frankenstein’s duty to nurture the Monster leads to the Monster’s evil behavior. The movie begins with a short narration by the narrator that this is one of the strangest tales ever told; with the two great mysteries of creation- life and death.

Researchers working to design new materials that are durable, lightweight and environmentally sustainable are increasingly looking to natural composites, such as bone, for inspiration: Bone is strong and tough because its two constituent materials, soft collagen protein and stiff hydroxyapatite mineral, are arranged in complex hierarchical patterns that change at every scale of the composite, from the micro up to the macro.
While researchers have come up with hierarchical structures in the design of new materials, going from a computer model to the production of physical artifacts has been a persistent challenge. This is because the hierarchical structures that give natural composites their strength are self-assembled through electrochemical reactions, a process not easily replicated in the lab.
Now researchers at MIT have developed an approach that allows them to turn their designs into reality. In just a few hours, they can move directly from a multiscale computer model of a synthetic material to the creation of physical samples.

THE NEGROES LEAVING. We learn from the Rockingham, Va., Register, that on last Wednesday night, two weeks, there was a considerable stampede among the negroes of Pendleton county in that State. Z. Dyer, Esq., late clerk of the county, lost three; Cyrus Hopkins, Esq., two; and Elijah Stonestreet, one. About a year since, A.W. Dyer, of the same county, lost four of his most valuable slaves in the same way.

IRGC reveals two missiles, drones underground bases
The Aerospace Forces of the Islamic Revolution's Guard Corps confirms that the ability to operate and launch missiles has increased by more than 6 to 7 times.
Today, Saturday, the Aerospace Forces of the Islamic Revolution's Guard Corps revealed two bases for missiles and drones, in the presence of the IRGC Commander-in-Chief.
These two bases include surface-to-surface missile systems with advanced equipment, as well as attack drones capable of penetrating enemy air defense and avoiding radars.
The Commander revealed that "the ability to operate and launch missiles has increased by more than six to seven times," adding, "We have significantly reduced the time and distance of preparing and launching missiles."
This is the first time that the IRGC Aerospace Forces have revealed underground drone bases.
Local media reported that "the presence of drones with a range of 2,000 km, dual missile launchers, and multiple missile launchers, which were recently revealed during the Great Prophet 17 maneuvers, show the outstanding effectiveness of these bases in defending and protecting the security of Iran and the Iranian people against any threat."

During the visit of the IRGC Commander-in-Chief, Major General Hossein Salami, to these two bases, the Commander of the IRGC Aerospace Forces, Brigadier General Hajizadeh, presented a report on the new procedures and achievements of these forces.
For his part, Major Salami praised, during the unveiling ceremony of the two new missile and drone bases, the transformational measures that predict the future of technology by the IRGC aerospace forces in strengthening the defensive deterrence strategy of Iran.
At the beginning of last month, the long-range strategic missile Kheibar-Shekan was revealed as the latest strategic Iranian weapon produced by the IRGC’s aerospace force.


Ever since news hit about “Star Wars: Episode VII” happening, fans have been waiting on pins and needles for updates on the production. The only confirmations we know for sure is that “Little Miss Sunshine” and “Toy Story 3” scribe Michael Arndt is penning the script and that Kathy Kennedy is producing it. The hunt for who will helm the project and occupy the big director’s seat is on and we have only learned at this point who is in fact not directing it.
Steven Spielberg, Zack Snyder, Quentin Tarantino and J.J. Abrams have confirmed that they are definitely not directing the epic. As we continue to review our list of other potential fanboy favorites, unfortunately Brad Bird announced that we can also put a red line through his name as he will not be directing "Star Wars".
Having directed such films as “Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol” and the clever animated film, “The Incredibles”, Bird was an easy candidate that many believed would do a stellar job.
After receiving a comment from a fan on Twitter that stated, “Tell me your next one is the new Star Wars!”, Bird responded with:
"Nope. A science fiction film. Not Star Wars. That said, Michael Arndt is a fantastic writer and Kathy Kennedy is a brilliant producer. I will be first in line to see the new STAR WARS."
Who would you like to see direct the new "Star Wars"? Let us know in the comments section below and we'll be sure to keep you posted about any updates as they come in.

Did you know that the community of different bacteria living in your gut may have a significant impact on your health? That’s right. In 2007, the National Institutes of Health started the Human Microbiome Project in order to learn more about the different strains of bacteria that live within the human body.
A huge undertaking when you realize that there are up to 100 trillion different types of “good” bacteria that live in and on humans. Our GI tract is home to thousands of strains of bacteria, all of which perform dozens of important functions including:
- Synthesis of vitamins – folate, B12, and K
- Decreasing the instance of toxigenic (i.e., potentially cancerous) reactions
- Lowering serum cholesterol through bile salt deconjugation
- Improving immune function of the gut by creating a protective barrier
- Synthesis of short chain fatty acids (act as fuel for intestinal cells)
- Improved lactose tolerance
- Potential improvement in antibiotic associated diarrhea and irritable bowel syndrome
- Balanced intestinal microbiota
As a result of the Human Microbiome Project, scientists are realizing that the specific types of gut bacteria may also play a role in one’s risk of developing type 2 diabetes, cancer, or obesity. Eating the right types of foods can promote a healthier community of bacteria in your gut.
To start, incorporating more foods that are high in probiotics, ie. live beneficial bacteria such as lactobacillus acidophilus and lactobacillus rhamnosis can be helpful. The following is a list of foods naturally high in probiotics:
- Yogurt: Take a look at the label and choose varieties with added lactobacillus bulgaricus or lactobacillus acidophilus. Kefir, which is similar to yogurt, is also high in probiotics.
- Tempeh and Miso: Both of these products are made from fermented soy beans. Tempeh is a patty of pressed fermented soybeans which has a nutty flavor and chewy texture. I love adding it to stir fries or other recipes in place of ground beef. Miso is sold in the refrigerated section as a thick paste that can be stirred into soup for great flavor.
- Cheese: Soft or fermented cheeses such as Gouda, cheddar, or Swiss are the highest in probiotics.
- Kombucha: Growing in popularity of late, kombucha is a fermented tea beverage that offers a healthy dose of probiotics.
- Sauerkraut: If you can handle the intense flavor of this fermented cabbage, which is a traditional Korean food then you will reap the benefits of the probiotics it contains!
- Dill Pickles and Fermented Vegetables: Choose varieties that have been minimally processed and are preserved using salt and water rather than vinegar.
Find ways to add fermented foods in your daily meal plan. Keeping a healthy gut is one of the most important steps to staying healthy.

Smeared and driven from leadership of the British Labour Party. Relentlessly attacked by the uniquely powerful British tabloid media, our guest today Matt Sarb-Cousin argues there’s never been a leader like Jeremy Corbyn. Except perhaps America’s own Bernie Sanders. Trump friend Conservative Boris Johnson defeated him in the 2019 election based on their exploitation of economic anxieties. Support for and against Brexit broke down on non-traditional lines. Corbyn supported Brexit to ease harsh austerity measures and now supports a re-vote. Today’s Labour Party is taken over by the Blairite Wing, with the appeal of being more competent managers of the status quo. Though the charge of anti-semitism was painted onto Corbyn, he spoke out against the one percent of Labourites whom it fit. Corbyn continues to stand for transformation to a more equitable, non-imperialist England. He’s not done yet.

Directed by Peter Bonerz. Every episode contains Tim’s own Binford-sponsored home improvement show, known as Software Time, a “meta-program,” or present-within-a-show In hosting this show, Tim is joined by his good friend and delicate-mannered assistant Al Borland ( Richard Karn ), and a “Software Time woman”—first Lisa ( Pamela Anderson ) and later Heidi ( Debbe Dunning )—whose important obligation is to introduce the pair at the start of the show with the line “Does everybody know what time it is?” The Software Time lady additionally assists Tim and Al throughout the present by bringing them instruments.

SpaceX has a listing value of $ninety million for launches with Falcon Heavy, its largest rocket, which is anticipated to fly for the primary time by yr’s finish.
It’s possible you’ll even contemplate reconfiguring it. “A appropriately designed driveway will truly make the house look greater when your potential buyer is pulling up to the home for the primary time,” notes Dominguez. Finishing the home improvement projects you’ve got been dreaming about might be very gratifying.
As with different initiatives, time is the essence of the renovation initiatives and save time whenever you start a challenge, it could be smart to listing all of the products wanted. Al would generally not disuade folks from believing that Instrument Time was his show.

Stacking The Shelves is a feature/weekly meme created by Tynga’s Reviews in which you share the books you are adding to your shelves, both physical and virtual. This means you can include books you buy in physical stores or online, books you borrow from friends or the library, review books, gifts and of course ebooks!
Now, I already have a monthly post I do featuring the books I get in the mail (and it's a lot because I have a serious Goodreads First Reads giveaway addiction), and I'm going to try to start posting my monthly Read-A-Thon posts again too (even if none of the Platypires will be joining me), which will cover the books I receive through Netgalley. But I also go to my thrift store at least once a week, and often leave with a bag full of books. It's such a common occurrence that I'm known as The Book Lady to the frequent volunteers (and I suspect that they've started scheduling their $1 bag of books sales for Thursdays simply because that is the day I usually visit.) So my Stacking the Shelves posts are going to focus on my thrift store hauls, because this is my blog and I do what I want.
On that note, here are the books I picked up this week.
Winnie the Pooh's Bedtime Stories by Bruce Talkington - My son actually asked if we could buy this book because he wants to read it. I would legit buy just about any book he asked for if it meant he was reading.
Disney 365 Bedtime Stories by various authors - Each story in this book is a single page long...there are some nights where I'm just really too tired to read when it's the kids bedtime, so this will come in handy for nights like that.
Sesame Street Goodnight Stories by Liza Alexander - My son asked for this book too. Seriously, couldn't say no.
The Land of Elyon Book #4: Stargazer by Patrick Carman - Alright, so I don't have books 1-3 in this series, but this book looks pretty interesting to me (and it appears to feature a dragon, which would help me to complete a side-challenge for the #BeatTheBacklist Hogwarts mini-challenge, so...)
The Thirteen Ghosts by Geronimo Stilton - I say that I'm buying all these Geronimo Stilton books for my kids, but you just wait, I'm probably going to end up reading all of them this year (because they're short and I can totally write 250 word reviews on them to earn more points for #BTB).
Kingdom Keepers: Disney After Dark by Ridley Pearson - The cover of this book is wicked awesome...and it seems to be like Night at the Museum meets Walt Disney World.
Chasing Magic by Sudipta Bardhan-Quallen - This is a Merida chapter book. I'm hoping that it will appeal to at least my daughter when she's ready to start reading chapter books here in the near future.
Beauty and the Beast: The Only One Who Didn't Run Away by Wendy Mass - This is a Twice Upon a Time book, so kind of a fairy tale retelling, I think.
Rapunzel: The One With All the Hair by Wendy Mass - This is also from the Twice Upon a Time series.
The Yellow House Mystery by Gertrude Chandler Warner - I always buy Boxcar Children books when I find them, I was pleased to find a couple at the thrift store this week.
West From Home by Laura Ingalls Wilder - So these are letters written by Laura Ingalls Wilder from San Francisco apparently. I loved the Little House on the Prairie books when I was younger, so I'm intrigued by this.
Burning Bright by Tracy Chevalier - I almost bought this book last week, but decided not to. When it called to me again this week, I figured that was a sign.
Mike's Mystery by Gertrude Chandler Warner - Another Boxcar Children book.
Scooby-Doo and the Zombie's Treasure by James Gelsey - My kids have always liked Scooby-doo, so this should be a winner with them.
Europe Central by William T. Vollmann - The blurb made me think this book would be sort of like All the Light We Cannot See, so I was intrigued.
The Japanese Fairy Book compiled by Yei Theodora Ozaki - I'm a big fan of Eurocentric fairy tales, it would be interesting to see how Japanese fairy tales compare.
Bunnicula Strikes Again by James Howe - I think these books look so fun...I mean, it's a rabbit with sharp, pointy teeth.
Four Mice Deep in the Jungle by Geronimo Stilton - Do I really have to keep explaining these? You're smart people right?
From the Mixed-up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E.L. Konigsburg - I feel like this is a book that most grade school children read, but I'm not sure I ever did. I should rectify that.
The School Carnival from the Black Lagoon by Mike Thaler - These look like the kind of books that would appeal to young boys, so I try to buy them when I see them for my son. He has yet to show any interest in them, but maybe.
Attack of the Dragons by Geronimo Stilton - More of the mouse adventure books.
The Peculiar Pumpkin Thief by Geronimo Stilton - Same as above.
Wild by Cheryl Strayed - I actually already owned a copy of this book, it's hardcover and I believe the Oprah's Bookclub edition, but I don't really like reading hardback books if I can keep from it (they're just too heavy), so snagging this copy for a quarter seemed like a great idea.
Doctor Proctor's Fart Powder by Jo Nesbo - It's a book about fart powder. It's sure to be appealing to boys right?
Who Cut the Cheese? by Jo Nesbo - This is the third book in the Doctor Proctor's Fart Powder series. It would have been foolish to not buy it since I was buying the first book in the series right?
The Trouble with Germs by Jennifer Frantz - This is a beginner reader book based on the Sid the Science Kid series.
Winter Festival by Ruth Benjamin - A My Little Pony beginner reader.
The Rescue Mission by Kate Howard - A Ninjago beginning reader book.
Attack of the Nindroids by Kate Howard - Another Ninjago beginner reader.
The Titanium Ninja by Kate Howard - You guessed it. Another Ninjago beginner reader.
Techno Strike by Kate Howard - Do I have to say it?
Spy vs. Spy by Kate Howard - This is the last Ninjago beginner reader.
Need for Speed by Trey King - This is a Lego City beginner reader.
The Joker's Ice Scream by Donald Lemke - A Batman beginner reader.
Time-Travel Trouble by Bill Wrecks - A Mr. Peabody and Sherman beginner reader.
Penny of the Pyramids by Frank Berrios - Another Mr. Peabody and Sherman beginner reader.
Kiss the Frog by Melissa Lagonegro - A Princess and the Frog beginner reader.
Princesses and Puppies by Jennifer Liberts Weinberg - A Disney princess beginner reader.
So that's all the books that I picked up this week at my thrift store. This haul cost me a whopping $14 because the beginner readers cost $0.50 each and that adds up kind of fast for no bigger than they are, but it's still quite the bargain if you ask me. And I just realized that almost all of the books I grabbed this week are "for my children."
What books did you add to your shelves this week? - Katie
