Daily Reflection is a positive habit that can bring profound change into your life. Taking time out to reflect on your day and consider what went well or not so well is the perfect way to learn from and build on successes, as well as learn from failures and find ways to make improvements, helping you to grow and do better next time. It gives you great ideas, helps you to help others, makes you happier, and it gives perspective in life.In the busyness of daily life, the feeling of overwhelm is increasingly common. A high-pressure lifestyle, whether it's trying to meet tight deadlines or simply trying to be all things to all people, can lead to a setback or a mistake becoming the proverbial straw that breaks the camel's back.In reflection, you gain an opportunity to step back and see the bigger picture. In the grand scheme of things, are the "end of the world" problems you're facing really insurmountable? In reflection, you find calm, and in calm you see things from a different perspective.You can't control what other people do, you can only control what you do - and how you react to what others do - so creating change in your world begins and ends with creating change in yourself. As someone wise once said, "Be the change you want to see in the world." Instead of wasting energy being angry at the world and frustrated by the actions of others, turn your attention to your own thoughts and actions and consider how they influence the world around you.The pages of this book provide a thought-provoking message and two reflection points for each day of the year. You may or may not agree with the reflection points, but that's the beauty of reflection and contemplation. Only through coming to your own conclusions do you begin to gain a greater understanding of how you think, and how your thoughts and beliefs may be influencing your actions and outcomes in life.Every resource you need to be and do better is already within you. Daily Reflection is the key to discovering and becoming your best self.

Weakly Wormit had an appalling name and quite unkind parents. He was also very small for his age. He was bullied at school particularly after he accidentally dyed his hair green. Rescue came in the shape of Isabelinda, a friend in his class at school and the two of them embarked on an unexpected adventure. This involved letting long locked up monsters escape from a forbidden shed. The monsters then terrorised the village and tore out peoples hair whatever colour it was. Only Wormit with his green hair appeared to be unattractive to the monsters. Isabelinda and all the villagers are left bald and frightened to go out in the street. Only Wormit could roam the streets without being attacked. He had to find a plan to capture and put them back in their shed. Eventually he had an idea and he enticed them to attack a blonde wig which he had obtained. With this aid he managed to imprison them again and he buried the key of the shed so that it will not be found. He was now the hero of the village. The villagers hair grew back. Wormit's green hair faded. He was Isabelinda's best friend.

Relying principally on Ian Saberton's edition of The Cornwallis Papers: The Campaigns of 1780 and 1781 in the Southern Theatre of the American Revolutionary War, 6 vols (Uckfield UK: The Naval & Military Press Ltd, 2010), this work opens with an essay containing a groundbreaking critique of Cornwallis's decision in 1781 to march from Wilmington, North Carolina, into Virginia, a decision that was critical in a series of events that cost Britain the southern colonies and lost it the entire war. Together, this and the remaining essays comprise a comprehensive re-evaluation of the momentous and decisive campaigns that terminated in Cornwallis's capitulation at Yorktown and the consolidation of American independence.

Imagine a world where life-extending and life-saving capabilities are withheld: drugs, vaccines, medical procedures, operations and any technology that extends or saves lives. Not because humanity hasn't advanced in these fields, no. Because the world's governments have decided we can no longer save or extend life. We must live as far as possible, as nature had intended, to save humanity from self-annihilation, driven by uncontrollable population growth.Edward (Ed), Thorncroft, has built a substantial and sophisticated organisation to fight these laws, passed by the United Nations under the LPAS (Life Preservation Assistance Suspension) program. Ed, in addition to his illegal life-saving organisation, has entered politics and set up a large lobby group. His relationship with Leonora has continued to blossom, at a time when his relationship with his best friend, Hans Pelletise, continues its downward spiral. With the formation of Ed's political party, he has forged many relationships with senior leaders and politicians worldwide. But his enemies continue to grow in number, and dark forces are now at work to thwart Ed's goal of watering down LPAS laws and his eventual aim of having the laws repealed. Many believe that should Ed succeed; it will bring about the end of humanity. For this reason, they intend to stop him and anyone else who is a threat to the LPAS program, organisation and laws.

This book describes a model of existence, including consciousness, based on the totality of records created by the actions, thoughts and speech of the individuals who comprise the human race.It relates the inanimate to the animate and the conscious, reality to belief and imagination and the objective to the subjective. It explains the relation between order, disorder and the random state.It accounts for the world of objects, the conscious world and the world of ideas, the nature of intelligence both human and artificial and the entire range of human philosophy, characteristics and activities, providing answers to questions that individuals continually pose.The model replaces the contradictory opinions of individuals or groups of these, however large, with a coherent description matched to the knowledge and belief of the human race as a whole.Accordingly, the existing dichotomy between reality in absolute scientific terms and imagination in absolute religious terms is replaced by a coherent and unified description of the unbounded processes necessary and sufficient to explain existence and the nature of consciousness within it.It is shown that this description is in effect the sum of the beliefs held by individuals regardless of their diversity.

Born into a world of many races, the Black Dwarf must come to terms with his own nature if he and his companions - Gavellan the wizard, Laleef the Light Elf and Twan of the Council of Grim - are to succeed in their quest for the Runestone of Mimir and defeat the Witch of Shroud, Minerva Spindleshanks. This novel was inspired by my own sons' interest in the myths of the Norsemen, and remains true to the spirit and characters of these legends. Here is portrayed an uncompromising struggle between the cold and dark of Nifleheim and the fire and flame of Muspelheim.
