On highways across America, a tribe of people called the True Knot travel in search of sustenance. They look harmless--mostly old, lots of polyester, and married to their RVs. But as Dan Torrance knows, and spunky twelve-year-old Abra Stone learns, the True Knot are quasi-immortal, living off the steam that children with the shining produce when they are slowly tortured to death. Haunted by the inhabitants of the Overlook Hotel, where he spent one horrific childhood year, Dan has been drifting for decades, desperate to shed his father's legacy of despair, alcoholism, and violence. Finally, he settles in a New Hampshire town, an AA community that sustains him, and a job at a nursing home where his remnant shining power provides the crucial final comfort to the dying. Aided by a prescient cat, he becomes "Doctor Sleep." Then Dan meets the evanescent Abra Stone, and it is her spectacular gift, the brightest shining ever seen, that reignites Dan's own demons and summons him to a battle for Abra's soul and survival. This is an epic war between good and evil, a gory, glorious story that will thrill the millions of devoted readers of The Shining and satisfy anyone new to this icon in the King canon., Stephen King returns to the characters and territory of one of his most popular novels ever, The Shining , in this instantly riveting novel about the now middle-aged Dan Torrance (the boy protagonist of The Shining ) and the very special twelve-year-old girl he must save from a tribe of murderous paranormals.

Roald Dahl (1916-1990) was born in Llandaff, South Wales, and
went to Repton School in England. His parents were Norwegian, so
holidays were spent in Norway. As he explains in Boy, he turned down the
idea of university in favor of a job that would take him to"a wonderful
faraway place. In 1933 he joined the Shell Company, which sent him to
Mombasa in East Africa. When World War II began in 1939 he became a
fighter pilot and in 1942 was made assistant air attaché in Washington,
where he started to write short stories. His first major success as a
writer for children was in 1964. Thereafter his children's books brought
him increasing popularity, and when he died children mourned the world
over, particularly in Britain where he had lived for many years.The BFG
is dedicated to the memory of Roald Dahls eldest daughter, Olivia, who
died from measles when she was seven - the same age at which his sister
had died (fron appendicitis) over forty years before. Quentin Blake, the
first Children's Laureate of the United Kingdom, has illustrated most
of Roald Dahl's children's books. </span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">“There’s an expression that War and Death are like best friends. So, I thought, who better to tell a story set in Nazi Germany, because Death was everywhere at that time and place. And what’s the opposite of that all-powerful Death? Vulnerable Death. What if Death were afraid of us? What if Death were haunted by humans?” – Markus Zusak<br /><br />From the time we’re old enough to realize fully the dangers of life and recognize its brevity and uncertainty, we all fear Death. It’s partly instinct: like all other animals, humans are born with the instinct to avoid demise. And it’s partly reason: our fear of Death grows increasingly strong as we gain wisdom and the ability to understand the odds that are stacked against us. But what if, like Markus Zusak asks, Death were afraid of us, too?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">And why wouldn’t Death fear us? Death is, after all, on hand to see all of the terrible things humans do to each other.<br /><br />Charged with the arduous and impossibly lonely task of taking human souls from the Earth, Death is merely a creature obligated to perform the unenviable task of carrying souls away from this world once violence and sickness have done their irreversible damage.<br /><br />It makes sense, then, that Death would grow unbearably weary of human suffering, haunted by the twisted evil of which humans are capable. Perhaps that’s why Death, the narrator of Zusak’s award-winning novel </span><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/705-53470-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5575060515&toolid=10001&campid=5337398274&customid=&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D9780375842207%26LH_PrefLoc%3D1%26_rdc%3D1" target="_blank">The Book Thief </a></b>, is so drawn to Liesel Meminger and her foster family - Germans who keep their hearts closed to the blackness of Nazi ideology and treasure the small, bright pockets of love in their uncertain world.<br /><br />As Zusak himself explains, </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/705-53470-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5575060515&toolid=10001&campid=5337398274&customid=&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D9780375842207%26LH_PrefLoc%3D1%26_rdc%3D1" target="_blank">The Book Thief </a></b></span> is about “trying to find beautiful moments in an ugly time.” As our narrator, Death lends a surprising and effective new perspective to Holocaust literature with his compassionate focus on Liesel’s vulnerable childhood, and the beauty and kindness that can still be found even as hatred spreads like a quick disease.<br /><br />Somewhere along his interminable journey of soul-taking across the globe, Death’s curiosity is piqued by the small blonde child who steals “The Gravedigger’s Handbook,” a book that’s fallen in the snow beside her little brother’s hastily-dug grave. Thus, the Book Thief is born, and Death begins an intense fascination with Liesel’s life; he is entranced by the little girl who steals books and somehow manages to avoid his grasp while all those around her seem to become his victims, one by one.<br /><br />Set in Nazi Germany, </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/705-53470-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5575060515&toolid=10001&campid=5337398274&customid=&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D9780375842207%26LH_PrefLoc%3D1%26_rdc%3D1" target="_blank">The Book Thief </a></b></span> delves into the harrowing nightmare of the Holocaust through an imaginatively novel lens. Zusak takes Death out of hiding, rips off his shroud of mystery, and holds him up to the light for us to explore with our imaginations. When we read about war and the Holocaust, Death is central to everything that’s touched upon. Zusak harnesses the ubiquity of this concept to give us a clever twist on the obvious Holocaust story: It’s still about injustice, upended lives, and innocence lost, but Death is no longer the ever-present elephant in the room. Indeed, the elephant finally tells the story from his point of view – and, once again, who better to tell the consequences of the Holocaust than Death himself?<br /><br />And so the story of Liesel Meminger is narrated by Death, punctuated by his wistful commentaries, comic-like illustrations, age-old wisdom, and clarity-inducing witticisms on life and all its challenges. Death’s narration of this little girl’s experience of love, loss, and tragedy is detailed, touching, and moving in an abundance of ways. You can’t help but wonder at how much comfort Death must take in her one, sweet life as he watches with horror the destruction of so many others.<br /><br />A cast of dynamic villagers, including Liesel’s foster family, the Hubermanns, her best friend Rudy Steiner, and the mayor’s wife Ilsa Hermann all flesh out the child’s life before, during, and after the height of Nazi aggression. Through it all, Liesel continues her book thievery, the habit that began with the snatching of “The Gravedigger’s Handbook” on the day of her brother’s death, even risking Nazi violence to steal books from their notorious book-burnings.<br /><br />But Max Vandenburg is the heart of Liesel’s childhood tale, and Death watches closely as their unlikely friendship unfolds. A Jewish fist-fighter, Max is taken in by the kind Hans Hubermann and hidden in the basement. The young Liesel is drawn to Max: Descriptions of their time together depict the coming together of two minds, both distorted by enormous fear and fighting to overcome the constant terror of life’s very real nightmares.<br /><br />To be certain, there is a hair-raising irony that permeates </span><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><a href="http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/705-53470-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5575060515&toolid=10001&campid=5337398274&customid=&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D9780375842207%26LH_PrefLoc%3D1%26_rdc%3D1" target="_blank">The Book Thief </a></b></span>: everyone is hiding (Max from the Gestapo, Liesel and the Hubermanns from being exposed as Jewish sympathizers) in order to avoid Death, yet Death himself is carefully watching them all the while. Death, of course, has nowhere to hide. The totality of human suffering, violence, torture and hate is so great that he can’t ever hope to escape the torments of carrying innocent souls – millions upon millions of them – from their bodies.<br /><br />Once you’ve begun hearing Death’s tale, you might start to believe that Death really is more afraid of us than we are of him. And you’ll certainly share his deep fascination with the girl named Liesel who met Death many times but never left with him, even as inhumanity and violence devoured her world. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">No Two People Move the Same... <span class="hl4">Including You</span></span></h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When I decided to create a workout system, there was something that was more important to me than anything else: <b>a strong emphasis on personalization</b>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="hl4">The problem with other programs out there is they force people to fit into <i><b>their</b></i> system of training.</span> Admittedly it's better than having no direction, but for a lot of people it can make things worse off than they already were.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Let's take a woman with loose joints (hypermobility) as an
example. If she did a lot of aggressive stretching (you know, because
the experts are always telling us to stretch), she could easily hurt
herself! Conversely, the stiff-as-a-board guy at the cubicle next to her
might do those exact same stretches and rid himself of his chronic back
pain!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now imagine this scenario and apply it to a workout where these same people are applying heavy loads to their body. <b>It's a recipe for disaster</b>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Which brings me to my point: <b>why do people still buy cookie cutter programs?</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I've thought about it long and hard, and it seems like there are two reasons:
</span></div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li><span style="font-size: large;">High quality customized programs are usually <i>very expensive.</i></span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">There are only a handful of coaches out there who can deliver such high quality customized programs.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hate to say it, but <span class="hl4">the industry is full of unqualified people who lack the educational background and the practical hands-on experience</span> to know what works and what doesn't.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After spending the past few years trying to figure out a solution
to these issues, I've finally come up with a way to deliver high
quality customization at an affordable price. It's called <i>The High Performance Handbook</i>.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><img height="236" src="http://e004777c130eade00234-5ddb36df15af65ab8482e83373c53fe5.r41.cf1.rackcdn.com/images/481.jpg" width="400" /> </span></div>

<h2 class="hl hl3">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>The High Performance Handbook</i> Is Like Nothing You've Ever Seen Before...</span></h2>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>First</b>, unlike your typical cookie-cutter program, it doesn't force you to do an exercise you can't.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Second</b>, it designs a program suitable to your needs - based on how you move, what your schedule allows, and what your goals are.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Third</b>, it's an entire system. Not just some
manual that says "do this." We give you an entire video database, how to
modify exercises, and much more.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><span style="font-size: large;"><b>Most important</b>, it does all of this at a <i>very</i> affordable price.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;">By Princess Ivana Pignat</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><em>“The authority of those who teach is often an obstacle to those who want to learn.” - Cicero</em></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><em> </em></span>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I can’t believe it! My four-year-old son has homework in pre-school.
This consisted of having to make a house! A house? I had to make one
once in fifth grade, but in pre-school? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Of course Alessio was having a meltdown. I was too. Though I was
tempted to step in and build Alessio’s house “with” him (parent code:
“for him”), I knew if I jumped in and helped too much, it would only
confirm his worry that he couldn’t do the task at hand.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I decided the only way to tackle the project was to have fun, and let him make whatever kind of house he wanted.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUItYQqjkDsrwswygfbymhhRkr6fFCOmf21wTgtWsVR3yFu5ff9msrB5i10e3Vz7bestN7PBYvqVpvLdmkia0CTFt1Z22SHXdiWlPRbhErF2MIVVQno51PLWngcee8HYPrC4gUEKCIaM6H/s1600/blog60_studyhabits_detail-350x420.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUItYQqjkDsrwswygfbymhhRkr6fFCOmf21wTgtWsVR3yFu5ff9msrB5i10e3Vz7bestN7PBYvqVpvLdmkia0CTFt1Z22SHXdiWlPRbhErF2MIVVQno51PLWngcee8HYPrC4gUEKCIaM6H/s400/blog60_studyhabits_detail-350x420.jpg" width="332" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I took him to the art store and let him choose the supplies. He
ended up turning in a lopsided, two-walled house covered with moustache
stickers, globs of wet paint and lollipops on the roof. Was it an
accurate depiction of our home? Uhm, no. But it was an accurate
depiction of Alessio’s creativity. He was so proud of it, and I was
too. Alessio did it all on his own.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The lesson here for both child and parent is that building confidence
is more important than building a perfect house, or turning in the
perfect homework paper.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Homework gives children a chance to actively absorb lessons from the
day, by doing them on their own. No matter what age, your children need
to perform these tasks themselves. A parent’s job is to keep an eye
out, listen for warning signals of overload or frustration, and gently
guide only when necessary.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The best way you can help your children with their homework is to
create the right learning environment at home. Good study habits are
crucial to school success from first grade through college. It’s never
too late or too early to start. Here are seven simple tips:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>1. Set the schedule for learning. </strong> The first hour
after school is best for study. This gives your child incentive to
complete the work. If she finishes early, there’s more play time
afterwards. No more Come in and do your homework! Aw, no, Mom! because
it will already be done. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>2. Start things off with a healthy snack. </strong> After a
full day at school, most kids come home a bit tired and hungry. High
energy snacks like almonds and raisins will boost your child’s
brainpower and help him think through those sometimes tough math
problems. Be sure to hydrate, too, with plenty of water which also
helps the thinking process.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>3. Create a distraction-free zone.</strong> Turn off TV,
radio, cell phone, or other distractions. Your child will be better
able to focus, and homework will flow more smoothly. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>4. Good study requires good planning.</strong> Most kids
study in their rooms. Make sure your child has a table to work on with
enough space. Get a big, inspiring calendar to hang on the wall. Put
your child in charge of filling in test dates and project due dates, as
well as making a list for any special supplies or books she may need to
complete the projects. Being organized creates less panic and more
confidence.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>5. Study 45 minutes, then take a 15-minute break.</strong>
Many older children have quite a bit of homework these days. Sometimes
hours. But most people can only concentrate well for about 45 minutes.
By taking a 15-minute break (or even a 15-minute nap) after studying,
the brain retains more information. Using a timer can help your student
enjoy learning more and get better grades through pacing himself.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>6. The best reward is a job well done. </strong> Don’t offer
rewards beyond sincere praise for a job well done when it comes to the
daily homework. Larger projects, where your child has exerted a giant
effort, deserve some extra attention - maybe a dinner out, a special
dessert or a movie.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><strong>7. Learning can and should be fun.</strong> Get excited when
your children learn new things. Talk about projects over dinner. Tell
your daughter what you love about her ideas, or how excited you are
about what your son is learning. Around the table, each family member
can talk about what they learned that day. Fostering a life-long love
of learning is indeed a family affair. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">by Christina Lamb and Malala Yousafzai</span></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: justify;">
<u><span style="font-size: x-large;">Synopsis</span></u><br /><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;">'I come from a country that was created at midnight. When I almost died it was just after midday. We'd finished for the day and I was on the open-back truck we use as a school bus. There were no windows, just thick plastic sheeting that flapped at the sides and a postage stamp of open sky at the back through which I caught a glimpse of a kite wheeling up and down. It was pink, my favourite colour.' In 2009 Malala Yousafzai began writing an anonymous blog for BBC Urdu about life in the Swat Valley as the Taliban gained control, at times banning girls from attending school. When her identity was discovered, Malala began to appear in Pakistani and international media, campaigning for education for all. On 9 October 2012, Malala was shot at point-blank range by a member of the Taliban on the way home from school. Remarkably, she survived. In April 2013, Time magazine named her one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World. I AM MALALA tells the inspiring story of a schoolgirl who was determined not to be intimidated by extremists, and faced the Taliban with immense courage. Malala speaks of her continuing campaign for every girl's right to an education, shining a light into the lives of those children who cannot attend school. This is just the beginning. . .</span><br /><span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></h2>

<b>An Amazon Best Book of the Month, April 2013:</b>
Every time Ursula Todd dies, she is born again. Each successive life is
an iteration on the last, and we see how Ursula's choices affect her,
those around her, and--so boldly--the fate of the 20th-century world.
Most impressive is how Kate Atkinson keeps the complexity of her
postmodern plotting so nimble. <i>Life After Life</i> approaches the
universe in both the micro- and macro sense, balancing the interior
lives of Ursula's friends and family with the weight of two World Wars.
(How many writers can make domestic drama as compelling as the London
Blitz?) <i>Life After Life</i> is an extraordinary feat of narrative ambition, an audacious genre-bender, and a work of literary genius. <i>--Kevin Nguyen</i></div>

<b>An Amazon Best Book of the Month, June 2013:</b> In
1859, Eli McCullough, the 13-year-old son of Texas pioneers, is captured
in a brutal Comanche raid on his family's homestead. First taken as a
slave along with his less intrepid brother, Eli assimilates himself into
Comanche culture, learning their arts of riding, hunting, and total
warfare. When the tribe succumbs to waves of disease and settlers, Eli's
only option is a return to Texas, where his acquired thirsts for
freedom and self-determination set a course for his family's inexorable
rise through the industries of cattle and oil. <i>The Son</i> is
Philipp Meyer's epic tale of more than 150 years of money, family, and
power, told through the memories of three unforgettable narrators: Eli,
now 100 and known simply as "the Colonel"; Eli's son Peter, called "the
great disappointment" for his failure to meet the family’s vision of
itself; and Eli's great-granddaughter Jeanne Anne, who struggles to
maintain the McCullough empire in the economic frontier of modern Texas.
The book is long but never dull—Meyer's gift (and obsession) for
historical detail and vernacular is revelatory, and the distinct voices
of his fully fleshed-and-blooded characters drive the story. And let
there be blood: some readers will flinch at Meyer's blunt (and often
mesmerizing) portrayal of violence in mid-19th century Texas, but it’s
never gratuitous. His first novel, 2009's <i>American Rust</i>, drew praise for its stark and original characterization of post-industrial America, but Meyer has outdone himself with <i>The Son</i>,
as ambitious a book as any you’ll read this year--or any year. Early
reviewers call it a masterpiece, and while it's easy to dismiss so many
raves as hyperbole, <i>The Son</i> is an extraordinary achievement. <i>--Jon Foro</i> </div>

<b>An Amazon Best Book of the Month, April 2013</b>:
Talk about bad luck: In 1942, a United States cargo plane crash-landed
while flying over Greenland, stranding the crew on sea of ice. A rescue
flight was quickly dispatched--it crashed in a November storm, stranding
its own nine crewmembers. The third time was not the charm: a second
rescue mission disappeared in another blizzard, leaving neither clues
nor apparent survivors. Subsequent attempts--some with fatal
results--failed under the harsh conditions, forcing the men to weather
the Arctic winter in makeshift shelters, including the tail section of a
broken bomber. This tale of survival in the deadliest conditions would
be enthralling on its own (and it is), but Zuckoff's meticulous research
led him to a modern-day group dedicated to solving the mystery of the
third flight. As a chronicler of their mission, Zuckoff is swept into
their adventure, and his project becomes much more than an interesting
World War II subplot. Part <i>Alive</i>, part Shackleton, <i>Frozen in Time</i> is a thrilling story of courage, perseverance, and loyalty that spans decades. --<i>Jon Foro</i> </div>

<b>An Amazon Best Book of the Month, April 2013</b>:
This knowing, generous and slyly sly new novel follows a group of
teenagers who meet at a summer camp for artsy teens in 1974 and survive
as friends through the competitions and realities of growing up. At its
heart is Jules (nee Julie, she changes it that first summer to seem more
sophisticated) Jacobson, an aspiring comic actress who comes to realize
she’s got more creative temperament than talent; her almost boyfriend
Ethan Figman, the true genius in the bunch (he’s a cartoonist); musician
Jonah Bay, son of a famous Baez-ish folksinger; and the Wolf siblings,
Ash and Goodman, attractive and mysterious. How these five circle each
other, come together and break apart, makes for plenty of hilarious
scenes and plenty of heartbreaking ones, too. A compelling coming of age
story about five privileged kids, this is also a pitch-perfect tale
about a particular generation and the era that spawned it. --<i>Sara Nelson</i></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>What if I order and for some reason it just doesn’t work for me?</b>It
is my opinion, like we talked about earlier that there really is no
impossible situation, but I have been wrong before and if for some weird
reason it doesn’t work for you…or even if you are not absolutely
delighted FOR ANY REASON…please, I WANT you to get a refund. In fact,
you have a full 56 days before you have to decide. How cool is that?</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Can’t I just find this information free on the internet?</b>
I LOVE to save my money and find stuff free when I can, but I know for a
fact that the only place on the planet that you can get your hands on
what is inside <span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Magic Of Making UP System</span>
is right here. See, I have spent hours looking at what is available…and
some of it is tepidly okay…but you don’t get the WHOLE PICTURE…and
reading an article or two without really understanding what you are
doing…can really hurt your chances rather than improve them.</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>What about the other “Get Your Ex Back” books?</b>
What about your competition? Fair question…I won’t say anything bad
about them. At the same time I can sum up what “my competition” charges
you for in just a few sentences…</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have bought them ALL…Do you
want a summary of all of them? Okay…here’s what nearly every one of them
tell you in just a different way…</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">“Do not contact your ex for 30 days…and during that 30 days work on yourself.”</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span></div>
<div style="margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">THAT’S IT!…Can you believe it?
…that is what they tell you to do for EVERY situation! Some take 50
pages to say it…some take less…and some give a little more okay advice,
but in my opinion they do not give you the tools you really need!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Frankly, there are some
situations…where all you really need is a good apology…make the apology
the right way (like I show you in <span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Magic Of Making Up System</span>) and you and your honey will “ride off into the sunset”.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>When will I receive <span style="text-decoration: underline;">The Magic Of Making Up</span>?</b>
Great question.You will receive it immediately after you have ordered
because it is a downloadable book (eBook). So you will have it on your
hard drive and in your hands in moments. It is very safe, reliable and
so easy a caveman could download it.</span></div>

New book explores life-and-death decisions at N.O. hospital after Katrina<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 1em;">Floodwaters rising and generators
failing, Memorial Medical Center in New Orleans was in dire straits in
the days after Hurricane Katrina.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 1em;">Administrators,
doctors, nurses and other staff were faced with evacuating hundreds of
patients, family members and even pets using few resources.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 1em;">Some patients never made it out.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 1em;">Their deaths were the subject of Pulitzer Prize-winning reporting by Sheri Fink, a trained physician and journalist, in 2010.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 1em;">Now Fink h</span><span style="font-size: 1em;">as
painstakingly detailed those dramatic days – and their legal and
cultural fallout -- in a compelling new book: “Five Days at Memorial:
Life and Death in a Storm-Ravaged Hospital.” </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fink draws
back the curtain on Memorial, giving readers a close-up view of the
people who sheltered at the hospital and the patients who lived and died
there. Their deaths raised questions about alleged "lethal doses" of
medications.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 1em;">But it doesn't stop
there. "Five Days" also follows the investigation that targeted New
Orleans native Dr. Anna Pou and others. Pou was never indicted.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 1em;">In
the book, Fink explores big questions that still demand answers today,
such as: How should the health-care industry prepare for disasters? What
criteria should determine the allocation of scarce medical resources?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fink,
who has a M.D. and Ph.D. from Stanford University, answered questions
from AL.com about her book and the issues it addresses.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>What’s the message – if there is one – in “Five Days?”</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fink:
I won’t speak for readers, because I think everyone will have their own
take-aways, but for me, now, it is the importance of investing in
disaster preparedness at your workplace and for your family. Have plans,
and be prepared to change them to fit the actual circumstances.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Be
an advocate for your loved ones in the hospital. Ask tough questions of
your local hospital and health system about preparedness for the
likeliest emergencies and express your views on how medical resources
should be allocated in case they ever fall short. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Most of all, if
you ever face a significant disaster, do your best to keep up the
spirits of those around you, act flexibly and creatively to help, try to
sort rumors from truth, and remember that the decisions you make will
have repercussions after the disaster has passed. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The moral
values, ethical codes and laws that guide our choices in normal times
are, if anything, even more important to help us navigate the confusing
and disorienting time of a disaster.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Do you believe that the people in the book "played God?”</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: 1em;">Fink:
The Attorney General of Louisiana and some family members of the
patients who died at Memorial Medical Center after Hurricane Katrina
made that allegation. They believed that doctors and nurses decided
which patients would live and die. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the other hand, one
of the nurse managers I interviewed said she felt medical professionals
were asked to play God all the time, not only in disasters. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What’s
clear is that the law and ethical codes of the medical profession do
not permit doctors to bring about patients’ deaths intentionally, and
that is what some doctors told me they did in this case.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>How did you go about the reporting for the articles/book?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fink:
I interviewed hundreds of people -- those at the hospital,
investigators, family members of the dead, experts -- and collected
materials, including everything from diaries and photographs to weather
reports and architectural diagrams. And, of course, I visited the sites
and looked for every article, report and book that related to these
events. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Was there one character or anecdote that stood out in your reporting? </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fink:
Dr. Pou received a great deal of media attention because colleagues at
the hospital accused her of having given "lethal doses" to patients, and
she was arrested for second degree murder in the deaths of a number of
them. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She maintained her innocence, and a grand jury refused to
indict her. I discovered that other doctors were involved with injecting
patients with morphine and the fast-acting sedative Versed, and two of
them told me they had done so to hasten the deaths of their patients.
Colleagues of theirs at the hospital told me they objected to these
actions, believing them in no way necessary or appropriate. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The
real story here is revealed in the range of voices and perspectives on
those events, and that's why “Five Days at Memorial” is a book. The
length of a book provided an opportunity to give a nuanced picture of
what happened and what it means. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>What surprised you the most about this story?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fink:
The fact that certain doctors had given patients medicine for the
purpose of bringing about death. As someone who had delivered
humanitarian aid in crisis zones and written a book about a besieged
Bosnian war hospital in just about the most dire prolonged, situation
imaginable, I don’t think I’d ever, outside of the realm of fiction,
heard of actions like this. I had a hard time believing it had
happened.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Once that was clear, it was important and urgent to
understand how things could have devolved so quickly in an American
hospital that respected physicians took part in it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>What would you still like to know? Any unanswered questions?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fink:
The death of one of the patients, a 61-year-old man named Emmett
Everett, was particularly striking. The morning he died, he was alert,
ate his breakfast, and had asked his nurses, “Are we ready to rock and
roll?” </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He weighed around 380 pounds and was paralyzed. According
to several witnesses, staff discussed his situation with Dr. Pou, and it
was decided that he was too heavy to be carried downstairs and rescued,
although others who worked in the hospital later said they would have
gladly helped carry him if they’d been told a heavyset man on the
seventh floor needed to be transported. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He was found dead that
afternoon, and toxicology tests showed morphine and a fast-acting
sedative drug, Versed, in his body, neither of which he had been
receiving or had been prescribed for him.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dr. Pou was seen
walking into his room before he died but has not commented on his death
other than through her lawyer, who said Mr. Everett died of an enlarged
heart — several forensic pathologists concluded that his death was a
homicide, a result of the drugs that were injected into him. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
His
main complaints that morning were dizziness and the desire not to be
left behind at the hospital. Why were the drugs given to him and who
gave them? There has been no explanation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Did the reporting process change you personally. If so, how?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fink:
It made me more passionate about the need for better disaster
preparedness on the part of our country—from government to businesses to
individuals. And the need for more research to understand how we can
improve resilience.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>What has been the reaction from the medical community and from New Orleans – to reporting or the book?</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fink:
There have been some good discussions about disaster preparedness,
ethics, and end-of-life issues. I was in Louisiana last weekend, and one
hospital administrator told me she checked with her plant operations
team after she started reading “Five Days at Memorial” to make sure her
hospital’s backup generator systems were protected from flooding.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>What lessons did the country learn from Katrina? </b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fink:
We learned we have some major vulnerabilities, particularly in the
healthcare sector, which is a great first step, but now we have to fix
them! “Five Days at Memorial” spells that out — the final section takes
the reader from Hurricane Katrina to today, with stops in places like
Haiti and New York City after Hurricane Sandy, and what we have and
haven’t learned.</div>

Author: Yamini Naidu</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i></i><a href="http://au.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-1118637623.html"></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is a global buzz around the power of storytelling in business.
Stories and storytelling have the power to influence and inspire and
storytelling is being rapidly recognised as a hot emerging business and
leadership skill. Yet as with everything, storytelling can have a dark
side and these are the pitfalls to avoid when using storytelling.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI6yyWsTuVhz5SFi7uCNgsBNQ6ShwffTlwlfzuqvD8MgWtiLJNeJaXmK2TXZMwJxQK1DuUUa1QT7Xf-i5lzb4l6_xdrEkNYb2eFdRzAWEHZWIPg8Zn80xVWz9OMJpmZrtQc08xeXqnoJZX/s1600/storyTelling.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="278" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI6yyWsTuVhz5SFi7uCNgsBNQ6ShwffTlwlfzuqvD8MgWtiLJNeJaXmK2TXZMwJxQK1DuUUa1QT7Xf-i5lzb4l6_xdrEkNYb2eFdRzAWEHZWIPg8Zn80xVWz9OMJpmZrtQc08xeXqnoJZX/s400/storyTelling.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Faking it</b></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
In business all your stories (unless they are parables) must be
authentically true. Period. This simply cannot be stressed enough. It’ s
simply not worth the backlash on your reputation, on your credibility
in manufacturing, spinning and inventing stories. In an episode of the
Australian television show, The Gruen Transfer, which discusses the
methods, science and psychology behind advertising, the panel was
discussing marketing spin. The commentator said in marketing spin, you
take one truth and spin everything around it. Business storytelling is
the complete opposite of that, everything in your story needs to be
true.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Forcing it</b></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
We once saw a CEO squirming his way through a story and found out
later he had been coerced by his media advisor to share a personal
story. Nothing was more uncomfortable to watch or obviously to deliver.
Not every message needs a story, and if a story is used the narrator
needs to enjoy telling the story and be confident it will work for the
audience and purpose. A few years ago we did some work with a leadership
team, where the organisation was outsourcing processes overseas. The
leaders were making a series of presentations and wanted stories to
support their key messages. After about 45 minutes when no stories were
emerging we asked the leaders ‘Can you honestly put your hand on your
heart and say that you believe this is the right thing for your people?’
None of them could. We then advised them to simply use the business
case data when presenting, instead of trying to force stories.</div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Fluking it</b></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Often people think storytelling is a gift and some people are born
with it. Nothing can be further from the truth. Storytelling is a skill
that can be taught and learned. No storyteller who is good at
storytelling flukes it, or flies by the seat of their pants. A lot of
both preparation and practice have gone into the story, even though it
may look impromptu or off the cuff. John Stewart the ex CEO of National
Australia Bank, was often described as a natural storyteller. We had
the privilege of interviewing John and asked him about being a ‘natural
storyteller’. He smiled and said ‘My best ad libbed stories have been
practiced for hours in front of the mirror’. The most frequent feedback
we receive in our workshops is that storytelling is not as easy as it
seems, yet the rewards when you get it right are well worth it.</div>

Today, my 75-year-old grandpa who has been blind from cataracts for
almost 15 years said to me, “Your grandma is just the most beautiful
thing, isn’t she?” I paused for a second and said, “Yes she is. I bet
you miss seeing that beauty on a daily basis.” “Sweety,” my grandpa
said, “I still see her beauty every day. In fact, I see it more now than
I used to when we were young.”</h2>

<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<i></i></h4>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<i>SheKnows: As the mother of a reluctant reader myself, I'm
fascinated with your ReadKiddoRead project. Tell us more about your son
Jack and how he inspired you to create ReadKiddoRead.</i></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>James Patterson:</b> There was an article in <i>People</i>
magazine a few years back that said "James Patterson's son is a
reluctant reader," and Jack brought it over to me and said, "Dad, hey,
what's the deal?" Jack is very well-read. He didn't love reading the way
I knew he would back when he was 8, 9 years old. My wife and I made a
very concentrated effort to reverse that: we took him out and picked out
books with him. And the third time around, he had drawn up his own list
of what he wanted to read. We knew it was working. It's a step that
every family has to consciously take.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
ReadKiddoRead is a tool that makes it easy for parents to get their
kids reading for fun. We've picked out the very best books that will
work to keep kids engaged. But the first step as a parent is absolutely
the most important. The first step is make a firm resolution: It's my
job to get my kids reading.</div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<i>SK: Why was it important for you for Jack to be a reader?</i></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>JP:</b> I want him to know the joys of getting lost in a great story, or debating the points in the latest <i>New York Times</i>
op-ed with his friends. I want him to be smart and successful, just
like any parent wants for their kid. Raising a reader means raising a
model future citizen. We all want our children to be readers — the trick
is, how do we coax them into it, how do we guide them into the habit?</div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<i>SK: Other than the books you personally have written, what are some of Jack's favorite books?</i></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>JP:</b> Some of the books that got him hooked: <i>A Wrinkle in Time</i>, Hugo Cabret, <i>The</i> <i>Warriors</i>, Percy Jackson, the Alex Rider series. He's older now and reading all over the map. He really liked <i>Unbroken</i>, the Laura Hillenbrand World War II book.</div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<i>SK: What were some of your favorite books at his age? Were you always an avid reader?</i></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>JP:</b> I really liked those old Scrooge McDuck comics.
And I regret getting into the game so late, but it really wasn't until
college when I started really reading. So I'm a little backwards: I was
reading absurdist playwrights for fun first, and it took years until I
could appreciate Charlie Bucket or <i>Maniac Magee</i>.</div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<i>SK: What advice do you have for parents of reluctant readers?</i></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>JP:</b> Spend time with your kids developing the habit.
Go with them to the bookstore or library and pick out books that match
their interests. One thing we did with Jack was say, OK, you don't have
to mow the lawn if you read for 20 minutes. You've never seen a kid pick
up a book so fast.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And try to be a little looser with what you might traditionally
consider reading. They don't all have to sit down and immediately be
engrossed in <i>Silas Marner</i> (yuck). Kids need to have the freedom
to choose, and that could include comics, manga, books on facts/world
records. Don't say no to something if it gets a kid excited about
reading. The simple fact is, if kids don't like what they're reading,
they won't read.</div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<i>SK: What's it like to be the parent of a teenage son? What does he think of having a best-selling author as a father?</i></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>JP:</b> Jack keeps me on my toes. He has good business
acumen already. He says I need to be tweeting a lot more often. I should
listen to him.</div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<i>SK: Tell me more about your latest endeavor, "Who Will Save Our Books, Bookstores and Libraries?" What inspired this?</i></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>JP:</b> Think about this: Each year, more and more
bookstores are closing for good. School libraries are getting chopped.
I'm arguing that our world will be much worse off if we don't do
something to save our bookstores, libraries and the publishing industry
as a whole.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How will we shape the future of reading in this country? I'm pulling
together ideas from everyone. This fall we're going to make a concrete
plan out of the best ones, actually put them into action. If you leave
one great, actionable idea below, I promise to consider it.</div>
<h4 style="text-align: justify;">
<i>SK: In addition to your work promoting reading for all ages,
you're well-known for your thrillers. What are you working on now?
Anything new on the horizon that you can share?</i></h4>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The book I have out right now, <i>Mistress</i>, is getting some
good reads. It's set in D.C. A reporter, Ben Casper, finds his dream
girl dead of an apparent suicide. Ben's a different sort of character
from my usual heroes — you'll see. And he gets in a little over his
head. OK, way over his head.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My first adventure-comedy for middle graders is out now, called <i>Treasure Hunters</i>.
The Kidd siblings have grown up traveling the world, scuba diving
through the coolest, most mysterious shipwrecks of all time, but
suddenly lose both their parents. I'm really excited about this new
series and what I'm going to be able to do with these characters.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I also have the new Michael Bennett, <i>Gone</i>, coming in two weeks, and the newest Alex Cross, <i>Cross My Heart</i>, in November. Those should keep you busy.</div>

Today, it’s been 28 years since a firefighter saved my life when he
rescued me from a burning condo building. In the process he suffered a
leg injury that doctors said would leave him unable to walk normally for
life. This evening, he put down his cane and slowly walked our daughter
down the aisle. My husband of 27 years always make me think.</h2>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span class="byline"></span>Earth will be able to host life for just another 1.75 billion years or so, according to a study published on 18 September in <em>Astrobiology</em>.
The method used to make the calculation can also identify planets
outside the Solar System with long ‘habitable periods’, which might be
the best places to look for life.</span></div>

<div class="articleInfo" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="articleInfo" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> The habitable zone around a star is the area in which an orbiting planet can support liquid water,
the perfect solvent for the chemical reactions at the heart of life.
Too far from a star and a planet’s water turns to permanent ice and its
carbon dioxide condenses; too close, and the heat turns water into vapor
that escapes into space.</span></div>
<div class="articleInfo" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
Habitable zones are not static. The luminosity of a typical star
increases as its composition and chemical reactions evolve over billions
of years, pushing the habitable zone outward. Researchers reported in
March that Earth is closer to the inner edge of the Sun’s habitable zone
than previously thought.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
The inner edge of the Sun’s habitable zone is moving outwards at a rate
of about 1 meter per year. The latest model predicts a total habitable
zone lifetime for Earth of 6.3 billion–7.8 billion years, suggesting
that life on the planet is already about 70% of the way through its run.
Other planets — especially those that form near the outer boundary of a
star’s habitable zone or orbit long-lived, low-mass stars — may have
habitable-zone lifetimes of 42 billion years or longer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
The authors suggest that scientists searching for life on other planets
should focus on those that have occupied their habitable zones for at
least as long as Earth has — such as HD40307g, which is 12.9 parsecs (42
light-years) away from Earth.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Life is complicated</strong><br />
But it is possible that Earth took an atypically long time to develop
advanced life, says Caleb Scharf, an astrobiologist at Columbia
University in New York. “It’s the age-old problem of over-interpreting a
single data point,” he says. Study co-author Mark Claire, an astronomer
at the University of St Andrews, UK, agrees, but adds that if he were
running a mission to find life on a terrestrial planet, he would
probably point his telescopes at planets that had been in the habitable
zone for as long as possible.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
Critics also suggest that the formula the researchers used is too simple. The model assumes that <a href="http://www.scientificamerican.com/topic.cfm?id=extrasolar-planets">extrasolar planets</a>
have Earth-like atmospheres, compositions and tectonic-plate action.
Colin Goldblatt, a planetary climatologist at the University of Victoria
in Canada, says that without including climate dynamics such as
atmospheric composition and volume, the results are not very useful for
predicting habitability. “If you want me to build a habitable planet
where Venus is, I can do that; if you want me to build a dead planet
where Earth is, I can do that,” Goldblatt says.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
“There is plenty of room for new formulations of the habitable zone,”
agrees Claire. For now, researchers don’t know much about these
extrasolar planets. But habitable zone calculations could prove
interesting closer to home as well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">
Just as the sun brightens and the Earth becomes too hot for life, <a href="http://www.scientificamerican.com/topic.cfm?id=mars">Mars</a>
will be entering the habitable zone. “If humans are going to be around
in a billion years, I would certainly imagine that they would be living
on Mars,” Claire says.</span></div>
