  Did you know that a home without a security system is three times more likely to be targeted for a break-in than one with an alarm fitted? 
  This is a sobering thought, and another is that, according to the FBI, an intrusion occurs every 15 seconds in the US alone. That’s more than two million home intrusions every year. 
  If that is enough to grab your attention, then you are probably thinking about making one of the best investments and having a home security system fitted as soon as possible.

  Unraveling - What I Learned...

  Peggy Orenstein

  “Orenstein is such a breezy, funny writer, it’s easy to forget she’s an important thinker too.”—People 
  In this lively, funny memoir, Peggy Orenstein sets out to make a sweater from scratch—shearing, spinning, dyeing wool—and in the process discovers how we find our deepest selves through craft. Orenstein spins a yarn that will appeal to everyone.   
  The COVID pandemic propelled many people to change their lives in ways large and small. Some adopted puppies. Others stress-baked. Peggy Orenstein, a lifelong knitter, went just a little further. To keep herself engaged and cope with a series of seismic shifts in family life, she set out to make a garment from the ground up: learning to shear sheep, spin and dye yarn, then knitting herself a sweater. 
  Orenstein hoped the project would help her process not just wool but her grief over the recent death of her mother and the decline of her dad, the impending departure of her college-bound daughter, and other thorny issues of aging as a woman in a culture that by turns ignores and disdains them. What she didn’t expect was a journey into some of the major issues of our time: climate anxiety, racial justice, women’s rights, the impact of technology, sustainability, and, ultimately, the meaning of home. 
  With her wry voice, sharp intelligence, and exuberant honesty, Orenstein shares her year-long journey as daughter, wife, mother, writer, and maker—and teaches us all something about creativity and connection.  
  Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook. 
  Unraveling is a memoir that explores Peggy Orenstein's journey into the world of knitting as a way to cope with the pandemic and other personal struggles. Through her exploration of the cultural history of wool dying, carding, and spinning, she provides readers with a deeper understanding of the true meaning of creativity and the importance of pursuing hobbies. This book is a perfect gift for anyone looking for inspiration and insight into the power of DIY projects.

  Stable Relation - A Memoir of...

  **2016 Readers' Favorite Gold Medal Award Winner* *National Indie Excellence Award Finalist** When most women go through a mid-life crisis, they start a diet, get plastic surgery, or have an affair. My life went to the dogs...and horses...and llamas... and did I mention happy hour with the goats?My urban world came apart, so I took a leap of faith and crash-landed on a dilapidated would-be horse farm on the flat, windy, treeless prairie of Colorado. It was a place where white horses turn pink at sunrise and I didn't have to worry about locking the back entry to the house, because the door was missing. The biggest social event of any week was greeting the trash man on Tuesday. And what should I do about the deceased llama in the laundry room? 
  Any decent midlife crisis has a quality of time travel, in this case swinging back to my childhood farm and my disconnected, secretive family, then forward to the animals who became my family on the prairie. My dogs and horses were soon joined by some line-dancing llamas and a biker-gang of goat kids, defying gravity and every other rule. I rescued an abused donkey who told me he was Ernest, and Windy, an un-wanted chestnut mare who became our beloved herd matriarch. Even Fred, the duck lived by a code. 
  It's the memoir of my bittersweet transition from a mid-life orphan to a modern pioneer woman, building an entirely different kind of family farm. 
  Stable Relation appeals to all animal lovers, midlife survivors, and anyone whose parents had problems of their own. It's told in a strong, bittersweet voice, sharing life and death on a small farm and the healing power of animals: James Herriot meets Janette Walls.

  Japan Discovered - A Guide to...

  Most books about Japan will tell you what to see. This one tells you what you're actually looking at.
   
  
   
  Japan runs on a set of invisible rules — social, philosophical, historical — that most visitors never learn exist. The silence in a boardroom means something has gone wrong. The vending machine on a mountain trail makes perfect sense once you understand the culture. The word for a feeling you've had your whole life but never had a name for. Japan Discovered is the guide that explains it all.
   
  
   
  The ancient belief that household tools develop a soul after a hundred years of use still quietly shapes how objects are treated in modern Japanese homes. Millions of Japanese families eat fried chicken every Christmas Eve — a tradition that says more about how Japan absorbs outside influences and makes them entirely its own than any guidebook chapter on "Japanese culture" ever could.
   
  
   
  The book covers the philosophy of wabi-sabi and what it reveals about the Japanese relationship with imperfection and time. It covers tatemae and honne — the gap between public face and private truth that shapes every professional and personal interaction in the country. It covers the shokunin tradition of craft mastery and what it genuinely feels like to navigate a society never designed with outsiders in mind.
   
  
   
  Inside, you will also find:
  
  Essential Japanese phrases with full pronunciation guides
  Cultural concepts — wabi-sabi, amae, gaman, omotenashi — explained in plain English
  A curated reading, film, and music list for going deeper
  A practical packing and etiquette guide for first-time visitors
  
   
  
   
  For the reader who wants to understand a place, not just pass through it.

  A swimming pool is the ultimate home improvement for billions of people around the world. However, it needn’t be as expensive as you might think, if you take the DIY approach. I know many families that have installed their own swimming pool 
  However, this manual is not about siting, digging out creating a pool. It is more about enhancing the pool after you have put in the effort of installing one. 
  I hope that it will interest those who would like to do something about enhancing and making the most of their domestic swimming pool. 
  I am also allowing you to use the articles in your own publication.
