the conversation train joel shaul

This inventive colour picture book uses the metaphor of a train to teach basic conventions of conversation to children with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs). Engines are like greetings; they get the train going. Freight wagons are like different speakers turns; it is good to have at least a few when you are in conversation. A set of points guiding a train from one track to another is like a tactful change in the topic of conversation. When a conversation veers off-topic it is like a derailed train. As well as attractive colour photographs of trains, the book contains engaging photocopiable worksheets and colouring pages to help promote skill generalisation. This highly visual approach to conversation is ideally suited to children with ASDs aged approximately 5-13.

In midwinter, an aspiring politician finds himself suddenly deprived of human contact. Newcomers to a town are strangely reminiscent of people lost in a recent flood. Demonstrators on a peace march see the faces of sleeping children in the snow. A failed musician meets his own ancestors getting off a midnight train. The Terrible Changes is a journey through the shadow-realm between reality and dream, between clarity and madness, between the living and the dead. In Joel Lane s fiction, the weird is a symbolic language expressing the chilling beauty, sadness and mystery of real life, combining the supernatural with themes of human loss, passion, solitude and despair, in the tradition of Robert Aickman, John Ramsey Campbell, and M. John Harrison. From The Brand (1983) to Alouette (2008), these stories span a quarter-century of writing: urban horror tales, elegiac ghost stories, erotic reveries and psychological fugues. Long unavailable, The Terrible Changes is now back in print for a new audience, adding to Joel Lane s legacy as a true master of the weird.

ECPA BestsellerThe peace we long for begins with coming to the end of ourselves. There are inescapable aspects of life we are all marked by. We have less control than we want, more anxiety than we re comfortable with and just enough insecurity to continually remind us of our shortcomings. To experience these things is to be human. We aren t superheroes and invincibility isn t an option.But humility is.Whether we ve incorrectly defined it or underestimated its relevance to our daily life, humility is the missing piece for the security, strength and confidence we all want. It s time to stop trying so hard to avoid our limitations or overcompensate for them. God has better for us and it begins with bowing low in humility.With relatable stories, practical wisdom and biblical theology broken down into digestible takeaways, The Hidden Peace by Dr. Joel Muddamalle will help you:Overcome the fear of being found out or looking like a fraud by realizing God s intent for shortcomings and weaknesses.Walk through hurtful situations in the most God-honoring way by gaining a true understanding of biblical humility.Answer the question why do bad things happen to good people? by learning a perspective shift that will change how you process suffering.Know confidently that you re living with purpose and being used by God through seven ways to practically live like Him today.Be led by the biblical definition of self-awareness so you can experience the unexpected ways it brings safety and security to your life.Stop believing the lie that theology is out of touch or too difficult to comprehend as Joel shows you how to dig into scripture and study it yourself. Weakness is not your enemy. Planted in the soil of humility, weakness becomes a means to gaining more strength and more peace.

On 3 July 1944, a train of cattle wagons set out from Toulouse, heading for Germany. Crammed inside eventually were 724 souls of various nationalities and backgrounds, all of whom the German occupiers had held captive in concentration camps and prisons across south-western France. Among them was Francesco Fausto Nitti, an Italian antifascist activist who had survived Mussoliniâ ™s gaols and the Spanish Civil War. The journey to Dachau was expected to take three days. Instead â “ bombed, re-routed and often immobilised â “ it lasted for two months, making it the longest of all deportation journeys out of France during the Second World War. Nitti kept a daily log of the odyssey of the Phantom Train, as it has become known, and the document was in his pocket when, on 25 August, he and some fellow captives made a perilous last-minute escape by removing some of their wagonâ ™s floorboards and lowering themselves onto the track as the train sped through the night. Once back with his family and the Resistance, Nitti turned his log into a book, which was published at the end of 1944 by a small press run by a Resistance member. Now, with this first English translation of The Phantom Train and an extended introduction, a whole new readership can learn about that never-ending journey to Dachau and everything that led up to it, and marvel at the determination and endurance of some courageous people, notably the remarkable Francesco Fausto Nitti.

Clapham was a pivotal point in British railway history. Much technology had been invented and applied to accident prevention by 1988; much more was to come. The Clapham Train Accident considers Clapham in its wider context, using official reports and expert interviews to describe both the causes and the terrible effects. It looks beyond the railway to the external factors acting not only on British Rail, but also the government of the time, and considers the safety improvements that came about as a result.Finally, the book brings the story up to date and looks at why the lessons learned over thirty years ago still need to be retained in an industry where the baton of safety is all-too-easily dropped during re-organisation, re-branding and after the departure of those who lived through darker days to make ours shine more brightly.The concatenation of events, the errors, the reorganisations, the financial constraints, that led to Clapham could happen to any business in any industry. On the morning of 12 December 1988, they happened to the railway.The Clapham Train Accident will act as a cautionary tale for safety practitioners old and new, not just in rail, but also other safety critical industries. It will help readers think actions through to all consequences, helping them too to make safer decisions, particularly when changing a system, technology or method of working

This is a fresh examination of the â ˜intelligenceâ ™ gathered for the great train robbery. The suggestion of an Irishman (â ˜The Ulstermanâ ™) was simply part of a package created by the robbers in time for their release from prison and to contribute to the subsequent book â “ everything since has compounded the â ˜mysteryâ ™. Gordon Goody was one robber who â ˜metâ ™ The Ulsterman and speaks highly of The Ulstermanâ ™s information, but this information could easily be found elsewhere, and some of it is incorrect. So who else might have given â ˜intelligenceâ ™? One by one, other â ˜suspectsâ ™ are identified and discounted, but with evidence for their defence. To use the metaphor â ˜hidden in plain sightâ ™, one can identify another â ˜suspectâ ™ with all the attributes The Ulsterman was said to have. If the reader is willing to look at the evidence afresh, itâ ™s necessary to consider not what the robbers et al have said, rather what they havenâ ™t said.

What would you teach them? The authors once faced this profound question in creating the U.S. Army’s Jedi Warrior Training Program.This book details this secret program, described by West Point leaders as the most exquisite orchestration of human technology we have ever seen. The comprehensive Jedi training encompassed intensive meditation, mindfulness, neurofeedback and cyberphysiology, energy healing, Aikido, and mission simulations. Emerging at the pinnacle of the psychic-ops era of research into extraordinary human abilities, the program was founded on the Army’s vision of Evolutionary Tactics: A Manual for the First Earth Battalion. George Leonard and Michael Murphy, cofounders of Esalen—epicenter of the human potential movement—called it the most intensive leadership and human development training program in modern times. Designed for elite soldiers, the practices in this training are valuable for everyone aiming to heighten focus, deploy ethical discernment, and cultivate responsive awareness and kindfulness. Learn how to befriend your inner enemies, avoid self-sabotage and ambush by distractions, and respond skillfully to challenges with deeper courage and compassion. With these teachings, readers can awaken the strength to transform the battlefield of daily life into a zone of peace and navigate these uncertain times with grace, wisdom, and courage.
