Few experiences can compare to the trauma and pain of losing a baby; and the wall of silence that often surrounds that loss can make grieving even harder. Loving You From Here explores the traumatic impact of losing a baby through stillbirth and neonatal death. It features the moving stories of multiple families; some affected recently, some decades ago, but still living with the loss. This book is a practical guide for grieving parents in the grips of tragedy, and those around them who want to be able to offer support. From managing those initial feelings of shock, grief, guilt and anger, this book will also show families how it is possible to grow around that grief and eventually form an enduring bond with their baby. This profound and insightful book will help everyone impacted by the loss of a baby - before, during or after birth - including those who have suffered an early or a late miscarriage and those who have had an ectopic pregnancy, and provides sensitive and reassuring advice on all aspects of loss and bereavement, as well as practical advice on how to find a new normal. This groundbreaking book breaks through the suffocating silence that surrounds the death of a baby and gives a voice to all those affected by baby loss.

Based on extensive fieldwork, this book demonstrates how gender is an organizing principle of entrepreneurial ecosystems and makes a difference in how ecosystem resources are assembled and how they can be accessed. By bringing visibility to how ecosystem actors are heterogeneous across identities, interactions and experiences, the book highlights the role and complexity of individual, organizational, and institutional factors working in concert to create and maintain gendered inequities. Entrepreneurial Ecosystems provides research-driven insights around effective organizational practices and policies aimed at remedying gendered and intersectional inequalities associated with entrepreneurship activities and economic growth. Proposing a typology of four ecosystem identities, it highlights how some might be more amenable and organized towards gender inclusion and change, while others may be much more difficult to change, reorganize and restructure. It offers scholars, students, practitioners and policymakers insights about gender in relation to analyzing entrepreneurial ecosystems and for fostering inclusive economic development policies.

Sci-fi thriller directed by Joseph Sargent. When Dr. Charles Forbin (Eric Braeden) creates a super computer capable of controlling America's nuclear defences, it detects the presence of its previously unknown Russian equivalent, and insists on being linked to it. But when the two machines are switched on they immediately take control, merging into one even stronger super computer by the name of Colossus, issuing its own demands for the Earth's management, and ruthlessly putting down any signs of dissent. With Colossus gaining more power daily, and threatening world destruction if its demands are not met, Forbin secretly enlists the help of other scientists to form a resistance group aimed at restoring normality.

A double bill of teen-sex comedies. 'Porky's (1981) is set in 1950s Florida and a group of high school teens try to release their sexual frustration by going to Porky's, the local brothel. However, when the owner throws them out into the local swamp, the boys' interest switches from getting laid to getting even. A huge 'sleeper' hit at the box office, this film spawned two sequels and a spate of nostalgic teen sex comedies. In the first sequel 'Porky's 2' (1983), the high school kids do battle with puritanical grown-ups and the Ku Klux Klan, winning the day through a combination of schoolboy pranks and sexual hi-jinx.

The Teacher's Book of Days is a motivational and inspirational book for individuals who work with young people, in public or private schools, youth organizations, sports, or for parents. The book is authored by a university professor, who has taught all ages; worked with children in clubs, scouts, and sports; currently teaches teachers; and who is a parent herself. It is for all adults who are entrusted with young lives.Written in a readable format, the book is a combination of informative and thought-provoking daily readings designed to encourage the reader and help them through their busy and oftentimes stressful days with uplifting, motivational and informative thoughts, gleaned from the writings of educators past and present and personal experience. The passages are not written for any particular year and therefore the book is marketable year after year.Teachers often do not receive the encouragement they need. This is even truer today in an atmosphere of test scores, shrinking budgets, and students growing up in less than ideal circumstances. It is designed to not only encourage, but to empower. Teachers can buy this book for themselves or as gifts for colleagues and friends. Parents may buy this book as tokens of appreciation for their child's teacher. Districts may give it to teachers during appreciation week or have it available in onsite libraries for staff members to read or to quote from for daily announcements. Universities may give it to graduating future teachers. The potential is great for this book's success.
