  Summary of Daniel J. Siegel's The Whole-Brain Child offers recommendations for a whole-brain approach to parenting. This approach emphasizes the importance of integrating the four quadrants of a child’s brain, whether in challenging or joyous moments. Geared toward the brain development of children from birth to age 12, the whole-brain approach includes 12 parenting strategies based on current brain research, as well as a concise breakdown that describes how to apply these strategies at different ages and stages. When children are taught to use their whole brain, they become more balanced and healthy overall with a heightened capacity for self-awareness, empathy, and relationship-building. 
  Most parents want their children to thrive, to be happy, resilient, productive, and engaged. Yet, caring for a developing child is trying, as children are prone to tantrums, bouts of outsized fears, and other challenging behaviors. In such moments, many parents just hope to survive...

  Lavender Heart Tea is a collection of love notes, monologues, short stories, and poems dedicated to my personal healing journey to reconnecting with my authentic self. The origin of my healing journey began by a seemingly innocent request to God asking Him to create a path for me toward a more authentic existence. In return, my life completely flipped upside down and everything I knew and loved and claimed as my truth gradually began to disintegrate. Unaware initially of the bigger picture at play, I fought integration by clinging onto what I knew. But then, I became ill and ultimately tired of experiencing the same toxic patterns and finally surrendered to the unknown. In doing so, I realized the pains of my present were actually pains of the past I never fully healed; some, I was aware of and others, I only recovered through intentional practices of stillness and meditation. Through grounding into my body through the five senses, exploring my energetic centers, also known as the chakras, shadow work, and inner child healing; I realized all the answers I needed to heal were within me. To heal, it simply required me to cultivate the willingness to get still enough to allow the integration of the authentic self to activate. It also required the understanding that God lives within me, not outside of me, and I had the power to shift my life into the most aligned space for me in the present moment. My ultimate realization was that I am many things and I owe it to myself to continuously explore and honor each of my smaller pieces that create my bigger picture. Lavender Heart Tea explores my ongoing healing journey through a collection of love notes to my inner child, monologues to my adult self to better help reparent the inner child, and various short stories and poems that creatively explore various revelations and "ah-ha" moments I've experienced throughout my journey.

  Just in case nobody ever told you, being a principal, teacher, or a parent is a tough job. You are the person who is ultimately responsible for the academic success of one or more students. Your every decision can have an immediate impact on a student, a class, and perhaps even an entire school. 
   
  Now that we've arrived in the 21st Century you'd think that the job would have gotten easier, but it has not. The arrival of all of today's new communication tools such as mobile phones, Facebook, Twitter, and, of course, websites, just seems to have made things that much more confusing. Yes, by now the school that you are involved with probably has its own website; however, who is maintaining it and is it really doing anyone any good? 
   
  What You'll Find Inside:
  
  JUST HOW IMPORTANT IS PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT IN A SCHOOL? 
  CAN A WEBSITE HELP A SCHOOL KEEP ITS TEACHERS? 
  HOW CAN YOUR SCHOOL WEBSITE HELP YOU WHEN THE RAINS COME? 
  NEWSPAPERS ARE ALIVE AND WELL AND LIVING AT A SCHOOL NEAR YOU
  
   
  If there is any good news to come out of the current state that we now find ourselves in is that powerful and effective tools have become available for our schools to use in order to help make their students successful. If done correctly, these websites can make it easier than ever for parents to know what is going on at the school and to get involved. The Digital Bell service is an Internet-based content management system that allows schools (and school districts) to pour all of the information that they have about what is currently happening at their school into a single, easy-to-use online tool that will then process all of that data and create an attractive modern interactive website for the school. This is exactly what parents need! 
   
  This book has been written to provide you with the insights that you are going to need in order to understand how your school and school district could best make use of a service like The Digital Bell. We'll be talking about what you need to take into consideration when you are planning on updating the websites that your school is using, how a school district can use its websites when natural disasters strike, how a school website can get students involved in creating content, and how to get some peace and quiet for office staff by creating a great website.

  Bullies - How the Left's Culture...

  Ben Shapiro uncovers the simple strategy used by liberals and their friends in the media: bully the living hell out of conservatives. Play the race card, the class card, the sexism card. Use any and every means at your disposal to demonize your opposition-to shut them up. Then pretend that such bullying is justified, because, after all, conservatives are the true bullies, and need to be taught a lesson for their intolerance.The left has created a climate of fear wherein ordinary Americans must abandon their principles, back abhorrent causes, and remain silent. They believe America is a force for evil, that our military is composed of war criminals, and that patriotism is the deepest form of treason. They incite riots and threaten violence by playing the race card, then claim they're advocates for tolerance. Disagree with Obama? You must be a racist. They send out union thugs and Occupy Wall Street anarchists to destroy businesses and redistribute the wealth of earners and job creators. No target is off limits as liberal feminists declare war against stay-at-home moms, and gay activists out their enemies, destroy careers, and desecrate personal privacy.

  Wrigley Field - The Long Life...

  “One of the best books ever written about the Cubs, their home and the fans who flock there to watch them, win or lose.”—Rolling Stone   In spring 1914, a new ballpark opened in Chicago. Hastily constructed after epic political maneuvering around the city’s and organized baseball’s hierarchies, the new Weeghman Park (named after its builder, fast-food magnate Charley Weeghman) was home to the Federal Leagues Chicago Whales. The park would soon be known as Wrigley Field, one of the most emblematic and controversial baseball stadiums in America.   In this book, Stuart Shea provides a detailed and colorful chronicle of this living historic landmark and shows how the stadium has evolved to meet the shifting priorities of its owners and changing demands of its fans. While Wrigley Field today seems irreplaceable, we learn that from game one it has been the subject of endless debates over its future, its design, and its place in the neighborhood it calls home. To some, it is a hallowed piece of baseball history; to others, an icon of mismanagement and ineptitude. Shea deftly navigates the highs and lows, breaking through myths and rumors, in a book packed with facts, stories, and surprises that will captivate even the most fair-weather fan. From big money (the Ricketts family paid $900 million for the team and stadium in 2009), to exploding hot dog carts, to the curse-inducing goat, Shea uncovers the heart of the stadium’s history.   “More than any other American institution, baseball most wholeheartedly welcomes half-baked history and curdled lore. It's fun, after all; what grinch wishes to poke at the tale of Babe Ruth's called shot? But more often than not the real stories are even more delicious, and no one has gathered more of them than author Stuart Shea. His book is an unceasing delight.”—John Thorn, official historian, Major League Baseball and author of Baseball in the Garden of Eden

  Edward VII - The Prince of Wales...

  Edward Prince of Wales, better known as "Bertie," was the eldest son of Queen Victoria. Charming and dissolute, he was a larger-than-life personality with king-size appetites. A lifelong womanizer, Bertie conducted his countless liaisons against the glittering backdrop of London society, Europe, and the stately homes of England in the second half of the 19th century. 
  Bertie's lovers were beautiful, spirited, society women who embraced a wide field of occupations. There was Lillie Langtry, the simple Jersey girl who would become an actress and producer; "Daisy" Brooke, Countess of Warwick, the extravagant socialite who embraced socialism and stood for Parliament as a Labour party candidate; and bisexual French actress Sarah Bernhardt, celebrated for her decadent appeal and opium habit. One of Bertie's most intriguing liaisons was with American heiress Jennie Churchill, unhappy wife of Sir Randolph Churchill and mother of Sir Winston. 
  While the scandals resulting from his affairs—from suicides to divorces—were a blight on the royal family, Bertie would become a surprisingly modern monarch. His major accomplishment was transforming the British monarchy into the modern institution that we know today and ensuring its survival in a period when every other European dynasty collapsed in the wake of WWI.
