দেশের বাইরে আসলেই মনে হয় ওই দেশের প্রতি ভালোবাসাটা পরিপূর্ণভাবে বুঝা যায়, সেই দেশের প্রতি একটা অন্যরকম টান অনুভব হয়। আমিও তার ব্যতিক্রম ছিলাম না। সেই দেশের প্রতি তীব্র ভালোবাসা টের পাই কানাডাতে নামার এক সপ্তাহ পর থেকেই। সেই ভালোবাসা এবং আবেগ থেকেই প্রতিদিন বিভিন্ন ব্লগে লেখালেখি করতাম, আর সেজন্যই বোধহয় এই কানাডার দিনলিপি গ্রন্থে কানাডার পরিচিতি থেকে বাংলাদেশ নিয়েই লিখার সংখ্যা বেশি। তারই ধারাবাহিকতায় এই ছোট ছোট ঘটনা গুলোকে একটা প্লাটফরম-এ নিয়ে আসার প্রয়াস নেই পরবর্তীতে, এই প্রয়াসের ফলাফলই এই ছোট বই। লেখাগুলোতে নানা বিষয়ে অসম্পূর্ণতা থাকতে পারে, নানা ধরনের অসঙ্গতি থাকতে পারে, তবে এখানে যে ঘটনা গুলো বর্ণনায় নিয়ে আসা হয়েছে সেগুলো লিখার প্রতি আমার আন্তরিকতার বিন্দুমাত্র কোনও ঘাটতি ছিল না। কতটা ভাল লাগা বোধ এনে দিবে জানি না, তবে এটা বলতে পারি, আমার পক্ষ থেকে চেষ্টার কোন ত্রুটি ছিল না। আমার লিখাগুলো আপনাদের কে এতোটুকু আনন্দ দিতে পারলেই আমি সার্থক মনে করব।- রিপন কুমার দে, ডিসেম্বর ২০, ২০২৩, ব্রিটিশ কলম্বিয়া, কানাডা।

Do you Know Who You Are In Christ? Perhaps you have forgotten!!!!!, ok, let me remind you. You are God's masterpiece, His workmanship created in Christ Jesus to do good works, you are the apple of God's eye, you are complete in Christ Jesus, who is the head of all principality and power, you are a chosen generation, Royal priesthood and you are called to rule and reign on the earth. You are loved, adopted, redeemed, set apart for His glory, and you are an ambassador of the kingdom of God. Don't you ever behave like your past experiences oryour current challenges. The devil wants you to think that you are not useful, not beautiful, not smart enough, that you are the cause of your struggle, or your struggle is who you are, none of these is true, but a lie from the pit of hell. You have been redeemed and bought at a price which is the blood of Jesus. You are what God says you are, your history, issues, anxiety, depression, anger, resentment, or frustration do not and will NEVER determine who you are in Christ.

In a 1980s America different from our own, both familiar and not, Congress passed and President Henshaw signed the Birth Cessation Act. Once it became law, no one would be allowed to have a child for 25 years, any woman under 24 weeks pregnant was required to have an immediate abortion, and all men were called up to report for a vasectomy. "Conscious regulation of human numbers must be achieved." Dr. Paul R. Ehrlich wrote in his 1968 bestseller, The Population Bomb. By the early 80s, the government had statistical projections that population growth was outpacing the available resources needed for all in America to live a comfortable and secure life. A situation that would inevitably lead to the chaos and violence of extreme civil unrest. Most Americans, liking comfort and security, supported the government's action. Most, but not all. And those who didn't-including a world-famous female billionaire entrepreneur/inventor/film producer; a TV salesman from Queens; a well-to-do Manhattan college radical; an unwed mother in Los Angeles who protests most horribly; America's premier pundit-columnist; and a young man who talks to his dead brother-became loud enough to start a fresh new controversy in America. This is a portrait of that controversy.

In "Biblical Sincerity Discovered," Nicholas Lockyer and C. Matthew McMahon offer a timeless exploration of the weighty significance of Christian sincerity in the life of a believer. This work masterfully unveils the enduring principles that underpin an authentic Christian faith. Lockyer's treatise revolves around four essential propositions: Proposition 1: Sincerity in faith is not optional but fundamental. It is the cornerstone upon which a true Christian life is built.Proposition 2: Sincere faith is marked by genuine love and devotion to God, reflecting one's inner convictions through outward actions.Proposition 3: Christian sincerity brings tangible benefits, fostering trust, credibility, and deepening the relationship with God.>His work shows the eternal ramifications of Christian sincerity in a world (and church) filled with skepticism and hypocrisy. By exploring the core principles of sincere faith, Lockyer encourages readers to embody their beliefs authentically, becoming credible witnesses to the Gospel. This book is a masterful exploration of Christian integrity, offering insights that remain exceedingly relevant for believers today who are seeking to live out their faith genuinely and impact their home, church and community for King Jesus. Lockyer's wisdom is a light in an age where sincerity is often overshadowed by pretense, reminding us that the authenticity of our faith is a powerful testimony to God's regenerating power of the Spirit in the covenant of Christ's grace.

The Raspberry Pi makes an ideal match for the Internet of Things. But to put it to good use in IoT you need two areas of expertise, electronics and programming and because of the way hardware and software engineering tend to occupy separate niches, you may need help with combining the two which is what this book sets out to do.Python is an excellent language for learning about physical computing. It might not be as fast as C, but it is much easier to use for complex data processing. One reason for Python's popularity is its wealth of supporting libraries and there are several for interfacing hardware. The GPIO Zero library is the official way to use Python with the GPIO and other devices and this book looks at how to use it to interface to fundamental IoT devices - from LEDs and buzzers to servos and stepper motors and several off-the-shelf Raspberry Pi add-ons.This revised second edition had been expanded to cover all the current Raspberry Pis including the latest, the Pi 5, and the Pi Zero 2W which, with its WiFi capability and being a quad-core device, is an ideal device for IoT projects. It has also been updated to cover the latest version of the GPIO Zero library, which is both the library recommended by Raspberry Pi and the only one that works with the Pi 5.The emphasis in this book is about using and understanding the hardware and GPIO Zero. It not only shows you how to "follow the beaten track", but how to create your own tracks. While it isn't a project book, many of the code examples described are part way to projects and all of the devices and techniques described can be used to create practical projects. Similarly while it doesn't teach you the whole of Python, it does bring you up to speed in the aspects of the language needed for interfacing with hardware.Harry Fairhead has worked with microprocessors, and electronics in general, for many years and is an enthusiastic proponent of the IoT. He is the author of Raspberry Pi IoT in C, which has recently been republished in its third edition, and Raspberry Pi IoT in C Using Linux Drivers, now in its second edition.Mike James is the co-author Raspberry Pi IoT in Python Using Linux Drivers, Second Edition. He is also the author of the Programmer's Python: Something Completely Different series of books.
