Witch apprentice Verity Vox has never encountered a problem magic can’t solve. So when a cryptic note invites her to Foxfire, she goes. With her apprenticeship limiting her services to a year, Foxfire will be her biggest challenge yet. The town has already lost its only bridge, and many loved ones have disappeared in dealings with a shady magic peddler named Earl—leaving the whole town wary of magic. Even as Verity wins the townsfolk over, she realizes she may not be able to save them. Going after Earl only returns Tacita, the missing girl who summoned Verity, but no one else. And the fight costs Verity the ability to fly and draws her to the old dark magic beneath the mountain. As Verity hones her powers and grows to care for Tacita, she must learn that not everything can be solved with strength alone.

Med albumet «En gang Romsåsgutt alltid Romsåsgutt» ville Don Martin fortelle om sin side av byen. Den sida som ofte ble snakka om, men som sjelden kom til orde selv. Et annet sted i Groruddalen var ZeshanShakar i gang med et lignende prosjekt, og i 2017 kom romanen «Tante Ulrikkes vei». De nye stemmene var for alvor begynt å nå ut fra Oslo øst. «Kan du høre byen puste ut» tar oss med mellom linjene på Don Martins album, til en oppvekst på Linje 5 Vestli og til det første møtet mellom Martin og Zeshan. Det handler om å fortelle sin egen historie. Boka er en sterk refleksjon over temaer de to kompisene stadig vender tilbake til, som klasse, rasisme, fellesskap og utenforskap. Og om hvordan stedene vi kommer fra, slår rot i oss.

This book is about grit and how to help your daughter get it. Grit is defined as the ability to survive difficulty and failure and learn how to achieve. It is the art of cultivating resilience. Children can learn to have the motivation to keep on task for a long time without reward. Unfortunately, nowadays, it is a rare commodity. However, grit is a quality that parents can teach to their children. One of the essential components of grit is character. The abilities or strengths that help build character can be taught and are malleable. Character needs to be practiced every day, and it involves personal sacrifice, growth, and achievement. One of the most important tenets of education that many adults seem to have forgotten is that learning is hard work. Yes, it can be fun but often those lessons we remember involve initial failures and not success. We believe any parent, biological or not, can raise a successful daughter if you know what to do and are willing to make a firm commitment to do it. Children need parents who love them and are willing to sacrifice so their daughters can make a contribution to this world and be happy. Parenting is not a popularity contest but a "giving" contract. One question you will need to answer as a parent is how much you are willing to give and to sacrifice for your child. We call it being "selfless." In your giving, you have to teach your child to embrace the struggle. Your relationship will surely have plenty of happy times, but it will be defined by the sacrifices that you both make. She will remember the hours you gave to her even when you were exhausted. The times she will yell at you and tell you that you are a lousy parent. The moments when you want to say "yes," and you need to say "no." That is the true grit of a parent that raises an outstanding daughter. You cannot ask what you are not willing to give. As parents, you may be asking, "How do I raise my daughter to be strong in body and mind, i.e. to become a successful athlete and student?" Unfortunately, there is no one simple solution. You may think that is an almost impossible task to raise a daughter to grow up as a confident indi-vidual ready to make it in this world. After all, women are still fighting for equal pay and equal rights in the workplace. How can my daughter feel great about herself when she is surrounded by negative media messages? We believe it is possible and that you can raise a loving daughter if given the right tools. However, most likely, you will need to reassess your own path, and you may discover a need to change some your own perspectives and behaviors. This book is about a new way of life - for both you and your daughter. We want to provide you with a way to help you enjoy watching your daughter grow up to be a healthy and successful woman. It is time to reclaim your role as a leader and model for her future. It is time to be proud as a parent as you see your daughter grow into a successful athlete and scholar. It is time to enjoy the responsibility of being a parent of a wonderful daughter. It is time to start.

This collection of poems explores the little voices within us all. The irreverent humor we dare not speak. The big questions we are too afraid to ask. The answers we are not sure we want.

The critical success of online instructors is their ability to engage students in the learning process. With this expertise, the online experience is extremely effective. The goal of this book is to help faculty understand the processes of teaching online and learning to be student-centered, which are the first steps toward becoming a successful online instructor. Specific topics include: an introduction to online instruction, putting it together with an overview of basic ideas, understanding course delivery including synchronous, asynchronous and hybrid instruction, integrating online and finding yourself through technology, creating participation and social presence, developing collaborative learning and the key to online success, tips for preparation and starting the course, instructor communication, developing critical thinking, and understanding the online instructor workload. An online instructor is required to read everything, respond individually to students such as using an introductory discussion board, respond to groups of two or three that have posted information, and respond to the whole class if there are points that students should know. There are many approaches instructors must use during the online teaching experience, such as being open to differences, staying organized, practicing discipline, distinguishing between work and personal life, and being flexible. Teaching online can be time-consuming, but will be more efficient with the use of the workload strategies and the hands-on approach the authors have provided. This book will be a valuable resource for instructors who are planning a gradual transition from face-to-face or traditional teaching to the online environment.

It''s one thing to come up with a good business idea, and quite another to marshal the people, money, and other resources entrepreneurs need to make the dream a successful reality. That''s why most businesses fail within the first two years. The Entrepreneur''s Guide to Successful Leadership helps budding moguls make it out of the toddler phase of entrepreneurship and into adolescence and adulthood with confidence. A concise and practical guide to leading smaller enterprises, the book is based on a proven, nine-step model of effective leadership developed by Dan Goldberg—the founder of the For Eyes optical chain—and entrepreneur and educator Don Martin. Step by step, readers learn what real leadership looks like and how to lead and grow the successful enterprise. Creating a vibrant business starts with understanding who you are, say the authors, and then coming up with a vision, mission, and strategy. That''s the easy part. The hard part is to execute the strategy in line with your dreams, while using effective, ethical tactics to establish the business and prosper. Seasoned hands, the authors make that job easier, while helping entrepreneurs understand what makes employees tick and helping them become their productive best. The hard work not only gets easier, say the authors—it pays off as entrepreneurs watch their fledgling businesses take graceful flight. This book is a treasure chest that provides key insights and methods in the form of real-life stories, humor, strategies, techniques, exercises, checklists, templates, and other resources. Each illustrates in a unique way how good leaders achieve powerful results. Many books on leadership are gimmicky. The Entrepreneur''s Guide to Successful Leadership focuses—in clear, simple, and direct terms—on the essential fundamentals, the blocking and tackling, required for business success.
