En skilsmässa är inte lätt för någon och speciellt inte för barnen. Den här boken hjälper till att försiktigt leda barn genom denna smärtsamma upplevelse. Med medlidande och verklighetsförankrad ledning, övertygar författaren Emily Menendez-Aponte (som själv har skilda föräldrar) barn om att skilsmässor inte är deras fel, att de alltid kommer att vara älskade och att någon alltid tar hand om dem. Hon erbjuder tips för att klara av att hantera svåra känslor och lösa svåra problem, som t.ex. lojalitetskonflikter och när det är svårt att få ihop vardagen. De charmiga illustrationerna och de tänkvärda texterna gör den här boken till ett utmärkt redskap för att hjälpa barn att utforska och uttrycka sina känslor om skilsmässor.

Barndomen är rätt tid för att lära sig goda egenskaper, eller mer precis, att fånga dem. Respekt är en egenskap som verkligen behövs i en värld som blir mer och mer mångfaldig, överbefolkad och där vi är beroende av varandra. Vad är egentligen respekt? Det är en egenskap man har när man beter sig på ett bra sätt, säger författarna. Det är när man bryr sig om andra, sig själv och vår värld. När vi är respektfulla försöker vi behandla människor och världen med kärlek och vänlighet. Låt den här boken få förmedla att vår värld, och alla i världen, förtjänar att få respekt.

A slow-motion drive-by view of a collapsing universe meant to sit in the palm of your hand. How fast can you go in a buggy drawn by the flap of a butterfly s wings? How do you measure the speed of waking from a dream? Such abstract inquiries into the unrelenting absurdity of contemporary life make up this omnibus of meditative vignettes from one of mainland China s most prolific and recognizable yet anonymous new underground cartoonists of the current generation. Every story in 20 km/h toes the line between pun and poetry, and lands somewhere just short of a zen koan: Come back to it as often as you like, it will never read quite the same way twice. A nondescript figure awakes from an assembly line of identically fashioned companions and boards a rowboat destined for the unknown. A man holds the key to sleep in his hand and uses it to disappear into his mattress. The moon is plucked from the sky and fed into a vending machine for a can of soda. Woshibai s minimalist renderings are a startlingly delightful cocktail of existential dread and silent slapstick that arrest the mind s eye with equal parts humor and grace.

Barn föds inte med kunskapen om vad som är rätt och fel. Men på något sätt, hoppas vi att med tiden kunna hjälpa dem med att bli omtänksamma, ansvarstagande och respektfulla vuxna.

Du och ditt barn kommer att upptäcka hur lätt det är att inleda diskussioner med hjälp av den här enastående boken.

187 sånger samlade och arrangerade av Peter Sandwall. Detta är sånger till uppmuntran, tröst, bön, tack och lovprisning. Sånger över alla gränser - samfund, generationer och länder. Sånger för varje tid och skeende i livet. Det är sånger för de som söker Gud i glädje, hopp och tro, men också för de som söker trygghet, tröst och vila. Det är vår önskan att sångerna ska bli till nycklar som öppnar själ och hjärta. Sånger där Gud och människor möts - sånger på Helig Mark. Många nya sånger från Norge, Finland, England, USA, Australien och Sverige. Exempel på sångförfattare: Matt Redman, Tore W Aas, Tomas Boström, Bengt Johansson och Erik Tilling. Också sånger från Hillsong, Taize och Iona. 4-stämmiga arrangemang. För solister, körer, orkester, komp. eller organist. Med ackordanalys. -------------------- Under de senaste tre decennierna har den kristna musiken förändrats och förnyat sången i kyrkan, till både form och innehåll. Varje tid har sin form och sitt tonspråk. Innehållet är tidlöst, men i olika tidsperioder finns behov av att sätta fokus på speciella områden av det kristna livet. Med denna sångbok vill jag försöka fånga en del av vår tids nyskrivna sånger och blanda dem med äldre sånger. Jag har tagit med några av våra mest använda hymner, psalmer och sånger. Här finns också en del traditionella som jag översatt. Förutom många nya sånger av svenska sångare och musiker, är det i huvudsak sånger från våra grannländer Norge och Finland, samt från England, Australien och U.S.A. Några sånger är hämtade från kommuniteter som Taize och Iona. Det som präglar urvalet av sångerna är, att de kommer från sammanhang med både stort andligt och socialt arbete, där personlig bekännelse och tillbedjan av Gud står lika centralt som medmänskligt ansvar. Att sjunga och spela är inte bara en möjlighet vi har, men även en uppmaning (Ps 96:1). I en större mening gäller det alla människor. I en snävare, alla som fötts på nytt till Guds barn. Sång och spel är konstnärliga verktyg som utgör en suverän bärare av evangeliet, Guds ord. Alla dess uttryckssätt förmedlar vårt budskap både till Gud, till varandra och utåt i världen. Tillbedjan, tro, diakoni och kristen gemenskap förstärks och blir synliga (1 Kor 14:15,26). Sångens primära adressat är Gud, och den sekundära är kyrkan (Kol 3:16). Sång förutsätter inte perfekta och välsjungande människor. Den är skapad till och för alla. Musik är till för livets alla situationer glädje och sorg, gemenskap och ensamhet, seger och nederlag. Musik har en enastående förmåga att nå djupet i människan. Musikens terapeutiska verkan är idag medicinskt beprövad och erkänd. Sånger är nycklar som öppnar små och stora rum, ibland hela hus. De kan både förmedla, uttrycka och förlösa tanke, känsla och vilja. De berör hela människan ande, själ och kropp. De är ett suveränt pedagogiskt hjälpmedel. De skapar gemenskap och tillhörighet. I sången till Gud visar människan sin identitet som Guds barn och får uttrycka sin förtröstan, avhängighet och hängivenhet. För att så långt som möjligt nå dessa mål, har jag följt några kriterier i urval och arrangering av sångerna: * Sångbara melodier och tonarter * Texter för såväl tillbedjan, bön och lovsång, som till uppmuntran och tröst * Blandning av nya och gamla sånger * Gränsöverskridande i genrer, generationer och traditioner * Funktionell och estetisk hög nivå - Varje sång är arrangerad fyrstämmigt, tillgänglig för kör, komp, orkester eller organist. - Noter för instrumentalt spel är skrivna med mindre nottecken. Alla övriga noter fungerar att sjunga från enstämmigt till fyra stämmor, både i blandad kör (sopran, alt, tenor, bas), och övrig fyrstämmig sång. För trestämmig sång utesluts enklast understämman (basstämman). - Ackord som anges, är inte detsamma som en exakt analys av noterna, utan en passande harmoni för komp. F/G innebär en F-durklang i övre registret (gitarrkomp, höger hand på piano) och att tonen G spelas i basregistret (elbas, orgelpedal, vänster hand på piano). - Det är gemensamma notskaft för sopran/alt resp. tenor/bas, även på gemensamma toner. Jag hoppas att sångerna blir använda både offentligt och enskilt, att både solister, körer, församlingar, team och bibel-grupper berikas av dessa sånger och arrangemang. Peter Sandwall

Over the last several years, the four authors have jointly conducted research into the analysis of vibrating Mindlin plates as a collaborative project between Nanyang Technological University, The National University of Singapore, and The University of Queensland. The research was prompted by the fact that there is a dearth of vibration results for Mindlin plates when compared to classical thin plate solutions. To generate the vibration results, the authors have successfully employed the Ritz method for general plate shapes and boundary conditions. The Ritz method, once thought to be awkward for general plate analysis, can be automated through suitable trial functions (for displacements) that satisfy the geometric plate boundary conditions a priori. This work has been well-received by academics and researchers, as indicated by the continual requests for the authors' papers and the Ritz software codes. This monograph is written with the view to share this so-called p-Ritz method for the vibration analysis of Mindlin plates and its software codes with the research community. To the authors' knowledge, the monograph contains the first published Ritz plate software codes of its kind.
