Everybody, at some point in life, has the experience of wishing they had trusted their instincts more. Perhaps they could have changed an outcome, avoided bad consequences, created something positive. Often it may have simply been a matter of speaking up at the right time. We are Brenda and Natalie Blackburn, a mother-daughter team creating a series of books to help teach small children the importance of speaking up for themselves. "Trust Your Instincts" is a work of love. Each book is a catalyst to open conversations about listening to that small voice inside your head, especially when that voice is telling you that something just does not feel right. We are creating a proactive program to empower children with the knowledge that it is always okay to talk about how they feel. The series helps parents assure their children that they are safe, loved, and that their parents, guardians, or other caring grownups are always available to listen and to help.

Kokoda - My JourneyAugust 8th-18th 2010Our lives are all masked by a journey, a path, a road we must travel. Where we go, who we go with, who we meet along the way, how we get there, when we go, and when we get there are all pieces that build our lives, that form our paths, and that create our own journeys. In these words I share a piece of my path with those I traveled and those I met along the way, and how I got there, when I went, when I got there, and then when I returned home. My journey was originally drafted as a personal journal of these events for myself, as a way of recording the entire experience by creating a documented piece of part of my own life's path. I didn't expect so much interest from others, and I didn't expect this book to have so many words and so much depth, nor did I expect it to take so long. To relive the entire experience is a massive understatement indeed. It has, for the most part, been an absolute pleasure to put these words to paper for the interest and greater good of others. I've personally loved every moment and feel truly honored and blessed to have this wonderful memory piece. No one can ever provide the exact experience unless you actually take this journey yourself and see it through your own footsteps. However, unless these words have inspired you enough to take this journey yourself, I have tried to provide words and visuals to allow you to share in my experiences for yourself. I feel blessed to have been given the opportunity to experience this journey and now share with you these words to hopefully inspire you or to give you inspiration in whatever challenges you face or whatever dreams you have. A challenge is a bigger challenge when you look at it from afar. Up close, it never seems as big. A special thank you to each and every one of my K10 Team. A once-in-a-lifetime experience, sharing a unique bond unsurpassed by anything I've ever experienced in my life thus far. Pack your bags-we're going to Ko

This book appearance is a logical development of the research activity in a relatively new field named Plasma Assisted Combustion (PAC) and is the first attempt to collect the most valuable contributions to the field from different research groups all over the globe. The first practical applications of different plasma sources for ignition and combustion enhancement date back to the 1960s and 1970s. The first PAC conference was organized by the Editor in 1989 in the former Soviet Union. At this time, the PAC community is relatively well organized with an annual International Workshop and Exhibition on Plasma Assisted Combustion (IWEPAC), now converted into the International Conference on Plasma Assisted Technologies or ICPAT starting in 2012, and special issues in the IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science on the topic of on Plasma Assisted Combustion. This two-volume work is one of the first projects of the newly established International Plasma Technology Center (IPTC) intended to provide, in Volume 1, a description of different plasma sources especially designed for PAC and, in Volume 2, to describe PAC processes that are under development or used industrially. If successful, we plan to publish new editions every two-three years depending on progress in this field. The basic mission of the IPTC is to promote scientific, educational, and charitable activities. This book is an example of organizing an international team of authors to promote education in the focus areas of the disciplines addressed. There are over 30 authors for Volume 1, who hail from five countries: Czech Republic, Netherlands, Russia, Ukraine, and the United States. A second volume will be produced in the future. The IPTC will gratefully welcome new authors in this endeavor to aid our mission of keeping abreast of new developments in the field of plasma assisted combustion, gasification, and pollution control and to update the literature to include new information through additional or revised volu

Do you find yourself becoming disillusioned by the challenges of the age? Have you observed the signs of mental unfitness in your own life or the lives of others around you? As a Christian do you find your biblical ideals increasingly becoming out of sync with everyday reality? Or do you find yourself defeated before the day has begun? Author Carolyn Boyce, in this intriguing study on the soul, clearly presents what every believer should understand in order to effectively cope with and over come the challenges of the age.By exploring the soul, you will learn how to recognize common areas of struggle which originate in the heart, mind or will. You will also analyze the lives of biblical characters in terms of the strengths or weaknesses evident in their soul. Through the use of case studies and colourful diagrams, abstract concepts can be easily grasped and incorporated into everyday Christian living. This book does not merely seek to increase the reader's knowledge but rather to aid the Christian's understanding of key biblical concepts.Stand has been conveniently organized into three sections.Section 1 In this section, the author defines essential terms, presents an overview of the book, and reviews basic biblical concepts relevant to later sections of the book.Section 2 Section two is itself divided into three parts, covering the heart, mind and will. Under the topic the heart, the author explores the structure, location, contents and condition of the human heart. Bitterness, the effect of the emotions on physical health, and how to successfully protect the heart are some of the other issues covered under this topic.Under the topic the mind, the author contrasts carnal thinking with sound thinking carefully making a strong case for sound thinking. As readers progress through this topic, they gain insight into GOD's design for the sound mind and learn how to renew the sound mind.Under the topic the will, several practical examples have been given to demonstrate the role of man's will in promoting stability and godliness in believers. Of particular importance is the chapter, The Weapons of our warfare where the author presents an interesting account of the nature of conflict in the physical and spiritual realms. The biblical alternative to successfully handling conflicts is explored through an assessment of the spiritual weapons.Section 3 This section explores the relevance of soberness in the Christian%u2019s life. Through the scenarios depicted, the reader will readily appreciate how essential the principles of balance are for standing effectively as a Christian. Relevance of the book:Stand is an essential read for all believers in the LORD JESUS CHRIST regardless of age or spiritual maturity. The book is deeply thought provoking and uniquely refreshing. Stand is very well suited to the times in which we live. It is a practical book with relevance to real world experiences. Stand simplifies GOD's process of transformation in Christians and clearly maps out their responsibility in the process. Stand is relevant to the times because it undergirds the reader with wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and godly tools to ensure strength regardless of what is faced in life.
