Montessori Parenting: Notes from a Montessori Directress and Lecturer

by Lydia Englesmith (Author), Suzelle Englesmith Poole (Author)

The Montessori Method has achieved international fame for good reason. It has proven to be unsurpassed in the development quality of young children. Now, for the first time, parents can learn how these methods work, the philosophy behind them, and how other more conventional ways of raising children that have very disappointing results can be avoided.It is important to encourage intellectual exploration and learning at the proper pace for each child. Pushing children to learn things that are beyond their present capabilities has bad results, just as holding back children from advancements of which they are capable stifles their spirit and enthusiasm. Now parents can learn how these valuable methods can help them understand and help their children at home.This book consists of notebook entries made over many years by Lydia Englesmith, AMI. Mrs. Englesmith has been a Montessori Directress and lecturer in many countries, and has worked closely with Mario Montessori, Maria Montessori’s son. Madame Suzelle Englesmith Poole, daughter of Mrs. Englesmith, has collected these notes, and is having them published in the hope that her mother’s knowledge and techniques can help today’s families grow and prosper together.

HGH Gel: The Safe and Practical Somatropin Human Growth Hormone

Author: John Choisser

Can human growth hormone replacement therapy slow, or even reverse, some of the symptoms of aging? Decades of research, including double-blind studies, have shown that hormone replacement using somatropin (the human growth hormone) therapy can offset many of the effects of aging. Furthermore, an outstanding feature of HGH replacement has shown that in small, natural doses, no side effects have been observed. And as we will see, low-dose high-frequency (LDHF) protocols have been shown to be particularly effective, mimicking the action of the natural secretion of the hormone in our younger years.

Infinite Value 4 Students: Learn How a Worthless Loser Learned to Embrace His INFINITE VALUE both Inside and Outside the Classroom

Author: Taiwan Holmes 

After repeated beatings, which started when I was in Kindergarten, I learned two certainties in life: I was worthless and I was unlovable. These beliefs permeated every aspect of my life from my family, to the classroom, and on to the basketball court. It followed me beyond school into my professional life, and even my new family, I became BLIND to the value that was in me, and the value that I could truly add to the world around me.

Jim Rohn said, “It is more important to work harder on yourself, than you do on your job.” IV4S reveals my journey as I worked to shine a light through the blindness of my value both inside and out of the classroom. The journey has uncovered one of the greatest truths the world has ever known. First and foremost, I am INFINITELY VALUABLE. The second discovery is the fact that there is an INFINITE amount of VALUE that I can add to the world around me.

As a student and professional, I believed that my value was conditional. If I did well on a test, my value increased by 1 point. But if I had a bad basketball game, it decreased by 1,378 points.

In a professional setting, you are only as good as your last sale or accomplishment. Fortunately, my journey revealed the reality that my value isn’t conditional or static, but it is accumulating. As humans, we are the summation of all of our life experiences. It is that ever increasing minute by minute, second by second total that ultimately calculates your True Market Value.

Once I was able to correctly calculate my Inherent Value, I was then able to more clearly decide what type of value that I would like to add to the marketplace and society. During my blindness, I could only see the value that I could add to someone else’s company, through telling their story. The journey you are about to read is the First revelation of the Infinite amount of Value that I will add to the marketplace through telling my story and sharing my talents.

When you choose to read this book in its entirety, I promise you that you will have a mirror to see both your Inherent Value and the Value that you will be able to add to the world around you. (Spoiler Alert: They are Both INFINITE!). You will be provided with tools and resources that I didn’t have when I was a kid and student that will aid you uncovering your True Value even sooner. (It took me over 30 years).

I could tell you to read this book to benefit yourself, but that would be too finite. You should read this book for the thousands upon thousands of people that your life will add Value to once you do. Another important reality that I learned on this journey is “It’s not ONLY about me!” If it was only about me, then the tough times that I went through would really suck (not that it didn’t hurt at the time, because it did). There are lives that I will be able to add value to, because I went through my beatings. And that is why I write. There are thousands of lives around this planet right now that are waiting to be helped by your experiences. My journey can show you a path to be able to reach the people you are supposed to add your INFINITE VALUE to.

MH370 Lost in the Dark Updated: In Defense of the Pilots; an Engineer’s Perspective, Fourth Edition

Author: John Choisser

A Flaperon is Found! What Does This Mean In The Case Of Flight MH370

 Missing flight Malaysian flight MH370 is in the news again. If true, what does the discovery of the FBI data missing from the accident report mean in the search for the airplane?

In the Fourth Edition of this highly-rated book (over 40 reviews averaging 4.5 stars) the author describes the impact the pilot’s simulator flights that mimic the actual path have on the cause of the accident, and that the present search area is off by 100 miles.

Many people assume that terrorists or suicidal pilots must be involved. In Malaysia Flight MH370 Lost in the Dark, author, engineer, and U.S. Air Force veteran John Choisser proposes a radically different theory of what happened that day. Choisser walks readers through his detailed research of the information available as he plots out a scenario of a rare accident that exonerates both pilots. However in this Fourth Edition, he adds to it the possibility that the accident could also have been a mass murder and suicide in disguise.

Readers of this book will get to explore the fascinating and tragic disappearance of Flight MH370 like never before. Those who want to educate themselves and come to their own conclusions will appreciate Choisser’s in-depth analysis of the Boeing 777’s various systems. Choisser also tackles some of the most puzzling mysteries surround Flight MH370, like:

>>> Why didn’t the passengers answer their cell phones?
>>> Could someone have hidden in the cargo bay?
>>> Could the airplane have flown by itself?
>>> Could someone have hacked the plane and operated it externally?

Choisser’s short and engaging book is a must-read for anyone who wants to cut through all the confusion and wild conspiracy theories in order to realistically evaluate what truly could have happened to Flight MH370. Choisser’s intriguing hypothesis will also make readers think twice about the blame and speculation that has swirled around the flight’s two pilots.

Until Flight MH370 is found the truth cannot be known, but Malaysia Flight MH370 Lost in the Dark, provides a provocative answer that deserves attention and consideration.

What Readers Are Saying About Lost in the Dark:

>>> “A very insightful and very well-researched read!”
>>> “Offers more light on the likeliest causes than any other information I have read.”
>>>”There are so many uneducated rumors out there and this book provides an intellectual compass to help navigate through the effluent of so called expert opinions out there.”
>>> “It’s refreshing to read a perspective that is not based on making headlines and/or proving a point. Very good read.”

Grandpa, Tell Us About Phi, the Golden Number: Explore the amazing connection between nature and math!

Author: John Choisser

This is a book for people from 9 to 90 who like surprises. And beauty. My intention is to show the beauty in both nature and mathematics, with some surprising connections that will make you stop and think. With this and future books, I want to foster curiosity, particularly in young people who might now see beyond boring or dull school subjects into a new world of science, physics, engineering, and math.

In this book, Grandpa and his grandchildren embark on an adventure into the fascinating connection between nature and a number called phi (ϕ). Phi is also called the Golden Number, the Golden Ratio, the Golden Section, and the Divine Proportion. It is an irrational number, like pi (π), and its value is approximately 1.618.

One of the interesting facts about phi is its relationship to the famous Fibonacci series and to the beautiful logarithmic spiral, one of the most beautiful shapes in nature. Grandpa and the children find Fibonacci numbers in the numbers of flower petals, the number of spirals on pine cones and pineapples, the shape of seashells, the genealogy of bees, how falcons attack their prey, the shape of soccer balls, and more. From the structure of a carbon crystal, to the spiral one sees in distant galaxies, phi is pervasive throughout nature. And over recorded history, it has had an effect on science, religion, astronomy, mathematics, art, and architecture.

I hope that this book results in a few young people realizing that the wonders of nature and mathematics are worth more exploration and that because of that, our society gains a few good engineers, physicists, and natural scientists.

Backyard Aquaponics — Grow Your Own Food: Harvest Fish and Vegetables and Recycle the Water

Author: John Choisser

How to Build Aquaponic Systems to Grow Your Own Food

Aquaponics systems can provide healthful and plentiful food, even where water is scarce. Compared with conventional methods, it has several advantages:

•Organic vegetables with high yields in small space
•Protein, in the form of fish whose nutrition you control
•Water conservation (90% water savings over conventional farming)
•No pesticides needed
•No herbicides needed
•Local food production

There are two primary purposes for this book; first, to educate people about the promise aquaponics has for efficient and healthful food production, especially where water is scarce, and, second, to provide enough details for the reader to design the kind of system needed and where the resources can be found for building them for homes, organizations, and neighborhoods.

The book includes detailed information about the fish, the plants, the irrigation schemes, and other knowledge needed for the successful design and implementation of systems of various sizes.

The book describes greenhouses, outdoor ponds, and even an aquaponic lawn as illustrations of the variety of system designs that can be built. Over 50 illustrations show you the components, designs, and finished small farms.

The author believes the world needs to more fully appreciate the benefits of aquaponics. Better food, less water, local production, and smaller spaces used. Better for your health, and better for your environment.

This book is the natural follow-on to his best-selling book “Tabletop Aquaponics” which covers small systems suitable for family rooms, porches, and science projects. This new book is for larger systems capable of feeding families, neighborhoods, or organizations. Very large commercial aquaponic systems are described in this book for background information, but their design is beyond the scope of this book.

Every day, we hear things like “Myself and Fred went to the game” or “Me and Joe sold the tickets”. Or “Please join my wife and myself for dinner”. Yikes.

Amplified Agility — The Journey Back: Can Spinal Cord Injuries Be Healed?

Author: Kay Lathrop

Up until recently, the thought of witnessing someone with a cervical spine injury walking again has been something only seen in fantasy or science fiction movies. Even those with partial paralysis (from the legs down, for instance), have been resigned to the fact that their wheelchair would be their only means of mobility for the rest of their lives. But something amazing is happening, something that is neither from the movies or simply a hopeful dream.

More people are “defying the odds”. And over the past 25 plus years, Dr. Peter Lathrop, a neuro-physiologist (Ph.D.in Neuro-physiology) and a Psychotherapist (Master’s Degree in Psychology) in La Jolla, California, has developed and continued to improve upon a paralysis and spinal cord injury recovery program that actually helps individuals regain significant sensory and motor functions. And even better, it has helped many people to ultimately become more mobile, if not walk again.

The Three Creations: Reconciling Science and Religion

Author: Ray Menegus

Science and Religion Can Reconcile their Differences!

 In this book, Ray Menegus, a mathematician and Christian, uses his knowledge of philosophy, science, and religion to argue the case that the apparent conflicts between Science and Religion are resolvable.
First, it is necessary for each to understand where the other is coming from, and to eliminate the knee-jerk inflammatory speech from their dialog.

Second, it is necessary for people of faith to understand some fundamental physics of nature, and to recognize that interpretation of Genesis can be framed in scientific terms.

Third, it is necessary for the scientist, who must be firmly planted in the laboratory of the real world, to recognize that there are several distinct steps in Creation that can only be explained by an overall design, whether it refers to a Designer, Creator, or God.

By flawless logic, Menegus shows three distinct times in the history of the universe when some sort of divine intervention must have occurred. These three events are difficult or impossible for the true scientist to ignore, or to explain. An analysis of these three fundamental mysteries of science form the basis for this book.

People who lean toward one side or the other, or even those that straddle the fence, will find this book serious fodder for thought and discussion.

Learn to Cook 101 – Step-by-Step Cooking Lessons for All Ages

Author: John Choisser

Here’s where you start learning to cook! Step by step, you are going to learn what you need to know to cook for yourself and others. But even if you are already an experienced cook, you might still want to browse through the beginning pages. You could learn something that makes you a better cook!
We start simple, and progress in easy steps. Before you know it, you will feel comfortable in the kitchen, willing to try new recipes, and even to modify them to your taste. Some of the lessons are very detailed, and you more experienced cooks might think I’m overdoing it. But remember how it was when you first learned, and realize that I’m helping novices learn from scratch. You can speed-read or skip over the stuff that you already know.

With each lesson, I’ll tell you what you need to have on hand, what you are going to learn, how long it will take, how to do it, and what results you should expect. Plus, each lesson will result in one or more simple recipes so you can immediately use what you have learned.

You are also going to learn to cook without being hogtied to recipes. You will be able to look in the fridge or pantry and figure out what you can make with what you have on hand. For example, breakfast is a great time for me to use up leftovers. And I get the best breakfasts in town, right on the spur of the moment. And without any recipes, just learning to use the basic skills you’ll learn here.

But it is also important to know that sometimes recipes need to be followed exactly. Especially when baking, ¼ of a teaspoon is specified for a very good reason. I’ll try to make you generally aware of when it’s ok to wing it and when it’s not.

We’re going to start learning to boil water, and to make something useful from it we’ll boil some eggs; soft boiled, hard boiled, and even coddled. Then use those eggs for egg salad, deviled eggs, and the Original Caesar Salad, using Caesar’s own recipe as told by his widow.

Then we’ll learn how to make tuna salad, learn to cook pasta, and how to use the oven for baking and roasting. We’ll cover frying, poaching, boiling, baking, barbequing, grilling, roasting, and sautéing. You’ll make cheeseburgers, French fries, macaroni and cheese, salads, and other “fast food”. You’ll also learn to make Mexican, Italian, and other ethnic dishes, and special dinners for dates and company, like prime rib or poached salmon with orange tarragon sauce.

While I’m at it, I’m going to cover some other topics you might have missed in your earlier days: how to set the table, how to carve a turkey, how to chop up an onion, cutting up chickens, how to plan a meal, defrosting stuff, and so forth.

Which napkin is yours? What the heck, you want to feel comfortable when the boss or a date takes you out to a fancy restaurant, don’t you? Before you put some bread on a bread plate, you better know which plate is for you!

The last part of the book is for reference. There you can find help if you’re facing an empty kitchen that’s a strange land to you. How to outfit the kitchen with pots and pans, spices and herbs, kitchen tools, and other things you’ll need to get started, like how to start with an empty pantry or fridge. There are also some helpful tips, such as disaster recovery (how to correct some kitchen mistakes), kitchen safety, and weights and measures.

The sections on seasoning, herbs, and spices will be of interest to nearly all cooks, regardless of their experience.

I’ve added links back to the Table of Contents throughout the book to make it easy for you to jump around in the book as you use it. I realize that most eBook readers allow this already, but this way this feature is always available. They look like this: TOC

The important thing is to have fun and don’t obsess over perfection. After a few lessons, you’ll be able to cut down on take-out food, eat better, and save money!

Let’s get started!

How to Build a Hanging Garden for your Balcony, Deck, Patio, or Sunroom

Author: John Choisser

This book will guide you step-by-step through the process of creating a garden that you can have almost anywhere. It’s a Hanging Garden that will fit on your porch, your balcony, or under your eaves. The cost of the materials is less than $100, even if you have to buy all the parts. If you’re a decent scrounger, you can get by for even less. And if you want to grow more stuff, just make an additional garden, or a larger one.

Why is it hanging? That’s so it can be vertical, saving space, without needing a strong structure that will keep it from tipping over. Each tier drips onto the tier below, making the most efficient use of water. You can put a basin under the bottom to catch the last drips.

Even if you have a back yard, like I do, you can now have a garden without digging up your yard or flower beds. No picks and shovels. No weeds, no hoes. No grass invasions. No rabbits. No cats and dogs digging. No stooping, bending, and kneeling. And, a benefit I didn’t expect, having the plants at eye level when you care for and harvest them without having to crawl around on the ground!

So now, just a few steps outside your kitchen, your can get your fresh chives, cilantro, basil, little lettuces, strawberries, and tomatoes without going out into the rain (or blazing sun, depending on where you live).

It seems like I’ve always had some sort of garden just about everywhere I’ve lived. But it’s always been about more than saving money, or having fresher veggies, or even the convenience. To me, there’s some kind of mysterious internal pleasure in growing things. Maybe it’s the witnessing the miracle of a seed turning into a plant. Or the fun of sharing the experience with others. Whatever it is, I like it, and I hope this little book will help others enjoy gardening even on a balcony in the big city!

Bioelectric Systems: What is Electromedicine?

Author: Dr. Peter H. Lathrop, Ph.D.

An Alternate to Needles, Drugs, and Surgery

Most of us think of medicine as needles, drugs, and surgery. Those three things are all we need. We need to become addicted to drugs, we need to have marks on our skin from needles and scars from the surgery that is performed to take care of the problems we have. This is called allopathic medicine. It’s standard medicine. That’s what’s practiced in America, unlike Europe, Russia, or Canada, where they are a bit more progressive. This book is about the field of electromedicine. 

Modern electromedicine was invented in 1979 in America and sold worldwide. It started at Medtronic, the way it’s practiced today in America. At Medtronic, in 1979, the author and others invented, designed, and put out to the world the first TENS unit. It was a small electrical device the size of a packet of cigarettes with wires and electrodes which, when attached to the body in an area of pain, stopped the pain signal. Medtronic sold 56 million of them from 1981- 1984.

Other companies since then have sold millions more, yet the author still keeps getting asked the question, Why is this so new and why haven’t I heard of it before? It’s because it’s suppressed. There’s a better way to do things than needles, drugs, pills, pharmaceuticals, and surgery.

The old/new field of electromedicine kind of goes like this: It is a field of medicine wherein equipment is designed which interacts with the body electronically. The human body is an electro-chemical system. It operates on an electric circuit. The body is an electric circuit. These circuits, the nodes of these circuits, are cells. The body is full of billions of cells. Each cell is an electrical piece. It has a positive and a negative charge. They’re called ions and they circle the cell. They’re in the aqueous fluid around the cell and they’re positively charged, negatively charged, neutrally charged, depending on the function of the cell.

This book explains the fundamentals of electromedicine and how it works. Other books by this author go into much more detail, and are given as references for those who need more detail.

Warrior Mom

Author: Kay Ledson

“That’s the problem — mothers like you,” the surgeon said.

But rather than accept that her 18 year old son would spend the rest of his life in bed, Kay built and managed a team of healers that worked on Josh immediately after his accident.

This is Kay’s story, told by her in her own words. The mental, physical, and financial stress that comes with those with spinal cord injuries and their families is something most of us can only imagine. How Kay and her team helped Josh not only get out of bed, but actually walk unaided again is a story of hope and inspiration to all.

Josh has called on all his athletic abilities and strengths to battle the paralysis, and, even now, living with unending pain, maintains a strict health regimen of exercise and diet.

The author is careful to point out that everyone and every injury is different, and not all patients will have the same results. But the important thing is to have HOPE, which was entirely lacking from the medical staff. The injured should be encouraged to try, in hopes that little by little some functions may be regained.

This book is important for everyone to read. First of all, one never knows when one’s life will be changed in an instant, and at that point it is too late to make insurance purchases that could have prevented financial disaster. Second, Kay and Josh’s experiences will make everyone appreciate what they have, and how precious a normal life is.

52 Ways to Boost Your Business through Business Cards: Avoid the Business Card Pileup

Author: Rhonda L. Sher

Think of business cards as your secret weapon when it comes to marketing. Every day you hand out a business card, you are giving out your tiny brochure promoting without even realizing it.

Business cards come in all shapes, sizes and colors. When they have a powerful message and are presented in a way that is memorable, they can be a marketing tool that leaves a lasting impression. It is hard to imagine a marketing tool that is more portable, affordable and versatile than a business card that costs so little yet offers so much information.

A recent survey shows that 90% of all business cards end up in the trash can within a day. Fewer than 1% are kept 30 days. The information displayed on your business card can play a large role in determining whether your card is stashed or trashed.

Please remember that your business card in this digital age is not dead. There are no “dead spots” or internet outages, as with cell phones or computers. Use them at a remote fishing camp or at an industry conference in a mid-city hotel, or in situations where cell phones are restricted, such as on airplanes or in hospitals.

The Science of SCENAR: Self Controlled Energic Neuroadaptive Regulator: Using Modern Electromedicine to Stop Pain, Repair Injuries, and Regenerate Spinal Cords

Author: Dr. Peter H. Lathrop, Ph.D.

The SCENAR, which stands for Self Controlled Energic Neuroadaptive Regulator, is an FDA approved electronic medical device which uses its bio-feedback mechanism to find the injury, measure it, receive feedback from it, and send a signal back to the injury to correct it. This book is for those planning to use the SCENAR for the treatment of neuromuscular injuries, including neck and back pain, rotator and ACL tears, carpal tunnel, and the rapid repair of traumatic injuries. The book covers the underlying principles of neurophysiology, cell function and dysfunction, and a discussion of the electro-chemical process that governs our every movement and function. Finally, this book describes in detail the implementation and the techniques used in diagnosis and treatment of injury using the SCENAR.

Rodosto

Author: Madame Suzelle Poole (Author), Shannon Smith (Illustrator)

In 1935, the author’s grandfather was a horse whisperer before that term was invented. Madame Poole wrote this wonderful poem about him and a horse named Rodosto.

This poem was one of the favorites of her many young students at her Montessori academy.

The book includes a CD, whereon Madame Poole recites the poem as young readers read the words and look at the drawings.

Kitten with CD

Author: Madame Suzelle Poole

This book is a collection of eight poems about animals. The book was written for little children, between the ages of 2 1/2 to 7. This version of the book includes a CD, on which the author reads the poems in her own delightful voice, with perfect diction.

These poems are some of the ones Madame Poole wrote for her children when she was a Montessori Directress.

After years of happy children saying, reading and learning from her poems, Madame Poole realized that they could be of general use in classrooms and homes.
