  The Blessed Angela of Foligno, T.O.S.F., (c. 1248 – 4 January 1309) was a Christian author, Franciscan tertiary and mystic. She was noted not only for her spiritual writings, but also for founding a religious community which refused to accept becoming an enclosed religious order that it might continue her vision of caring for those in need. The Divine Consolation is divided into three treatises. In the first, Blessed Angela talks about her conversion. The second is her teachings. And in the third treatise, she shares her visions of Consolation, the Passion of Christ, the Sacrament of the Altar, and of the Blessed Virgin Mary.(Summary by Wikipedia and Ann Boulais)

  No Sex, No Sleep tells the unvarnished truth about fatherhood. Forget about magic moments and bonding, this is about puke, wet-wipes and enjoying the sex life of a hermit. Pat Fitzpatrick wants to tell new dads what they can expect in the first few years of their child's life, and give them a right good laugh along the way. 
  
  
  The book is based on Fitzpatrick's popular 'Dad's View' column and covers everything from buggy shopping, the
  
  labour
  ward, naming your child, bringing them home and dealing with the in-laws, to later issues such as choosing a school, time-outs, toilet training and much more. 
  
  
  Written in short, digestible chunks
  No Sex, No Sleep can be picked up and put down as the mood takes you, and will make an ideal present for a first-time dad. It will also strike a note with any dad with small kids, or any mom out there who wants to know what their man is really thinking. Which is not much, other than I'd love to go to sleep for a month.

  For 20 years Paul Clements has been tapping into the Burren's hidden crevices, drawn to its history, mystery and peculiarities. He writes absorbingly about the rocks, hills and walls, and the range of colours, the animals he rubs shoulders with, and about subjects which excite him, such as the exotic wild flowers, ancient ruins, early morning birdsong, and the smell of whiskey in historic pubs. A hunter and gatherer of information and lore on the Burren, the author ferrets out little-known facts and weaves them together to create these carefully distilled essays.

  Controlling the quality of apparel manufacturing when producing in countries like Vietnam can make or break your brand. I explain basic quality control concepts, share practical advice and introduce you to quality control companies that can save your shirt. I cover concepts like AQL and the 4 point fabric inspection method which you need to understand when producing garments in a foreign sewing factory. I discuss fabric tests that companies like SGS or Intertek can do for you. I explain when to inspect during production and what to inspect on each garment. Since we live in the digital age, apparel brands have the option of using QC software like Pivot 88 or Inspectorio which I introduce you to. They can save you time by identifying problems in real-time and solving them within 24 hours.
