This Book is Good For Your Baby's Visual Development Unlike the rest of the senses, your baby's visual system develops after birth. Improve Visual Development Your baby is born with a few innate visual abilities, but these abilities are poorly developed. Your baby will spend the next few years working on and dramatically improving their visual acuity, depth perception, color sensitivity, and light sensitivity. Calming Power Researchers have shown that newborns prefer to look at highly contrasting (black and white) geometric shapes, rather than bright colors or pastels. That's perhaps because your baby's retinas haven't matured enough to perceive the subtleties of most colors. YOU may not like staring at this book, but trust us, your baby does! This Book is Good For Your Baby's Brain Development Stimulating your baby's visual development helps more than just their eyesight; it helps whole brain development too. At birth, your baby's nerve cells haven't been completely connected. In the first few years, your baby's brain also must go through a process called myelination, which begins in the regions that receive input from the eyes, ears, nose, skin, and mouth. Improve Attention Span High contrast stripes and shapes give your baby something to focus on, and that helps attention span. A baby's attention span varies from 4 to 10 seconds. Research has found that the attention span increased to 60 to 90 seconds after only one week of looking at black and white patterns for about 3 minutes a day. Improve Learning Ability Fixation also helps learning. If your baby fixates on one object, information about that object sticks - it gets through to the cortex, and that means stimulating your baby's brain's growth. The pages of this book are specially designed to help with your baby's visual and brain development. The pages of this book will captivate and calm your baby. Let your baby fixate on the pages, find pages that hold his attention, and watch him learn and grow their visual ability and attention spans, right before his eyes and yours!

Have you ever wondered what dying feels like? This is a tragic love story. It is a true story. However, more importantly, it is a story about love, commitment, and faith in God. Tim and Savannah Heller were a happy couple in the prime of their lives. The couple had raised children together, worked hard together, and had started enjoying a golden era in both their lives. Then Savannah started getting sick, and eventually she was informed that she had a terminal illness, and she only had one to two years to live. Imagine the shock. Imagine how one would take that news. Fortunately, Savannah started journaling daily throughout the disease progression. The couple decided to write a book about their experience in an effort to help those others and families going through a terminal disease. As you read her journal entries, you will gain insight of her physical decline and her emotional and mental battles she faced.The story takes you through the trials and tribulations of a couple and family dealing with a terminal illness, but more importantly, it is story of love and hope and beauty-everything Savannah was. One of the couple's strongest beliefs was the idea that the greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return. If people can understand this message from this story, then Tim would feel that he has honored Savannah.

Combines letters, diaries and memoires with modern geographical aids to reconcile the sequence of the battle with exact locations.

Anyone who has done children's sermons will sooner or later hear from someone that "I learn more from the children's sermon than I do from the real sermon." And indeed, the truths of scripture are so simple that even a child can understand them. So it's no accident that children's sermons have become a central part of the worship service in many churches.Brett Blair and Tim Carpenter offer a year's worth of object lessons that engage children and impart profound lessons for all ages. Two sermons are provided for each Sunday in Cycle A of the Revised Common Lectionary, one based on the Second Lesson and one based on the Gospel. The messages are structured in two parts: the "lesson" uses an object to draw out active responses from children, then the "application" connects that object to the assigned scripture reading. Each message includes a clear statement of its exegetical aim.Bright, innovative, perceptive, creative, grace-filled... Brett Blair and Tim Carpenter are all of those and much, much more, and that is reflected beautifully in their new book The Big Influence Of Small Things.James W.

He holds the M.Div. degree from Yale University Divinity School and is a cum laude graduate of Oral Roberts University with B.A. and M.A. degrees in New Testament Literature.Tim Carpenter is the pastor of First United Methodist Church in Bolivar, Tennessee.

If you're religious about your coffee, you're in holy company.If you like your coffee with a bit of inspiration, a hint of humor, and a dose of insight, you'll enjoy pouring a mug full of java and curling up with Holy Grounds. Popular author and avid coffee drinker Tim Schenck brews just the right blend of the personal and historical as he explores the sometimes amusing and often profound intersection between faith and coffee.From the coffee bean's discovery by ninth-century Ethiopian Muslims to being condemned as "Satan's drink" by medieval Christians, to becoming an integral part of Passover in America, coffee has fueled prayer and shaped religious culture for generations.In Holy Grounds, Schenck explores the relationship between coffee and religion, moving from faith-based legends that have become entwined with the history of coffee to personal narrative. He takes readers on a journey through coffee farms in Central America, a pilgrimage to Seattle, coffeehouses in Rome, and a monastic community in Pennsylvania.Along the way, he examines the power of ritual, mocks bad church coffee, introduces readers to the patron saint of coffee, wonders about ethical considerations for today's faith-based coffee lovers, and explores lessons people of faith should learn from coffeehouse culture about building healthy, authentic community.

Inhaltsangabe:Einleitung: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschreibt die bilanzielle Behandlung von vergütungshalber gewährten Aktienoptionen nach dem IASB Exposure Draft 2 Share-based Payment. Ziel der Arbeit ist es, die Materie konzeptionell und schematisierend einzuordnen, praxisorientiert darzustellen und hierbei ggf. Regelungslücken durch Analogien und Interpretationen zu schließen, in ihren Grundzügen zu diskutieren, sowie die von ihr ausgehenden - erheblichen - Wirkungen zu erläutern und in Ansätzen zu quantifizieren. Zusätzlich zu den Normen des ED 2 werden auch die bis zum 1.10.2003 hierzu ergangenen und von der Fachliteratur weitgehend noch nicht berücksichtigten Board-Entscheidungen dargestellt. Dem in diesem Kontext noch bestehenden Mangel an offiziellen Beschreibungen kann weiten Teils durch einen Rückgriff auf US-GAAP SFAS 123 begegnet werden. Insbesondere die modified grant date method die im zukünftigen Standard die units of service method ablöst, wird sowohl konzeptionell als auch anwendungsorientiert erläutert. Dem in der Rezeption des Standardentwurfs häufig bemängelte Fehlen von praxisnahen Fallbeispielen soll durch eine nach ED 2 durchgeführte Bilanzierung des DaimlerChrysler Stock-Option-Plans 2000 abgeholfen werden. In diesem Zusammenhang wird auch der Umgang mit den vom IASB ausgeblendeten, aber höchst praxisrelevanten ratierlich ausübbaren Optionen dargestellt (graded vesting schedule).
