Download or read book e Write Your Way To An A Star Beginner written by Angeline Tan and published by Singapore Asia Publishers Pte Ltd. This book was released on 2012-04-24 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every child is unique. The writing ability of children varies greatly from one individual to another. This ability is less dependent on whether your child is in Primary One or Primary Two, but more on his or her exposure to the English Language. However, the good news is that writing skills can be cultivated. As your child progresses to Primary Three and beyond, composition writing will play a major role in the English Language examination, with a weightage of close to 30% of the total marks. As such, it is essential for children to cultivate their writing skills from Primary One to get a head start over their peers. Opportunities for students to write compositions in school are often limited due to time constraints. Since practice makes perfect, it is beneficial for students to write their own compositions at least once a week. Whether your child is facing difficulties in writing compositions or is already a prolific young writer seeking to up his or her writing skills a notch, this book will provide the stimulus for your child to take his or her writing skills to new heights.

Download or read book Why Johnny Doesn t Flap written by Clay Morton and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2015-10-21 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Johnny is different. He is never exactly on time, he can't seem to stick to a routine and he often speaks in cryptic idioms. Johnny is neurotypical, but that's ok. A picture book with a difference, Why Johnny Doesn't Flap turns the tables on common depictions of neurological difference by drolly revealing how people who are not on the autistic spectrum are perceived by those who are. The autistic narrator's bafflement at his neurotypical friend's quirks shows that 'normal' is simply a matter of perspective.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This year, the fireworks will be red hot… Skates Farrington is a changed man. Gone are the smart suits, the dull meetings and the extra pounds. Nowadays, he gets his thrills at the skate park and from whatever substances his dealers send his way. The only thing missing from his life is his ex-wife. She’s shacked up with a respectable partner in an isolated farm and striving to create the perfect life. Skates is convinced that she will come back to him when she sees his new self, but when attempts to win her heart all over again are thrown back in his face, he decides a little gentle persuasion is in order. Now he can include murder and abduction among his new-found skills. DI Oliver Wilson, leading the investigation, has more than a few things on his mind. The case and imminent arrival of his third child should be at the forefront of his thoughts, but the arrival of a sequence of unusual gifts is making him nervous. The packages are sending him a message, he just can’t work out what they’re trying to say. Ain’t That A Kick In The Head is the explosive follow up to Let It Snow and My Funny Valentine.

Download or read book In the name of god state written by Patrizia Barrera and published by Tektime. This book was released on 2023-08-25 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Allowing a ruler to decide unilaterally on an individual's health and reproductive capacity is tantamount to putting his life in his hands. It means authorising him to determine the length and quality of the existence of individuals, groups, social classes, ethnic groups, entire peoples. And to let him style, on the basis of personal and arbitrary convictions, categories of more or less deserving individuals to be allowed to work, express themselves and live, according to fixed rules of behaviour and thought. In short, it means helping him to play the part of God. How does one carry out a massacre? How does one eliminate an entire ethnic group? How do you affect the individual's basic freedoms? And how do you annul their rights? Well, the most obvious way is persecution, war, martyrdom. On closer inspection, extremely effective but also very unpopular methods, capable of generating violent reactions. Especially when, as has already happened in the not too distant past, one oversteps the mark. Since the dawn of time, human beings have used war to achieve such results. In more cunning eras, religious power (of any religion) has done even worse. Then, the modern era arrived, and these crude and bloody methods became obsolete. A certain, evil section of humanity devised more devious and effective expedients to achieve the same ends of destruction: preventing those peoples, individuals, ethnic groups deemed undesirable, from reproducing. This allowed them not only to eliminate the problem at its root, but also to break down the door of human rights, arrogate to themselves indiscriminate powers of control over individual freedoms, and finally act undisturbed over the management of human life. With the approval of the very masses who abhor wars and massacres. Forced sterilisation was and is a formidable and inexpensive method of achieving all this. Allowing a ruler to decide unilaterally on an individual's health and reproductive capacity is tantamount to putting his life in his hands. It means authorising him to determine the length and quality of the existence of individuals, groups, social classes, ethnic groups, entire peoples. And to let him style, on the basis of personal and arbitrary convictions, categories of more or less deserving individuals to be allowed to work, express themselves and live, according to fixed rules of behaviour and thought. In short, it means helping him to play the part of God, hoping never to fall into the category of undesirables that he will one day think of annihilating, in order to correct an inherent error of nature and for the very good of society. Forced sterilisation is only the beginning of this. It is the first step in the destruction of our sense of humanity, of our ability to penetrate into the misery of others without judging them but accepting them for what they are: an enrichment of our existence. If life is formed in the womb, it is in the womb that it must be destroyed. And this is not just a symbolism. Translator: Alberto Fuggetta PUBLISHER: TEKTIME

Download or read book Picnic written by Dave Dalton Thomas and published by Texas A&M University Press. This book was released on 2024-09-02 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1973, a forty-year-old country musician named Willie Nelson, inspired by a failed music festival the year before, decided he was going to hold his own party. He would stage it in the same remote and rocky field where the previous festival had withered. And he’d do it in July: not the hottest part of the Central Texas summer, but “damn sure close enough,” according to music journalist Dave Dalton Thomas. As unlikely as it seemed in 1973, Willie kept the event going, minus a year off here and there, for half a century. Thomas has attended nearly every Willie Nelson Fourth of July Picnic since 1995, finding joy in an event some music reporters have compared to “death marches and prison labor.” For the last 20 years, Thomas has researched the history of the Picnic, chronicling the brutal heat and the quirky and sometimes illegal antics of fans, musicians, and others. Thomas has watched the Picnic evolve over the decades, as Willie and his audience have evolved. He has interviewed participants, including artists, organizers, promoters, and even a few colorful hangers-on. While reviewing ten of the Picnics in detail—each chosen for its significance in the overarching development of the event—Thomas also includes basic facts about each gathering, from the beginning to the present, with the addition of pertinent information about the “off years,” when the Picnic was on temporary hiatus for one reason or another. In his introduction, Thomas quotes country musician Johnny Bush as he recalls trying to talk Nelson out of the notion of holding the first Picnic. “Willie, there ain’t no way in hell a bunch of cowboys are going to come out in the hundred-degree heat to watch us pick our guitars.” As Thomas records them, Bush’s next words were “he proved me wrong.”
