Aspiring writer and mystery fan Candace "Andy" Kayne has accepted an invitation to spend Christmas at her wealthy best friend's ski lodge. When a priceless family heirloom, the fabled "Christmas Diamond," suddenly goes missing, the snooty family matriarch immediately accuses Andy of the theft. Luckily one of the holiday guests is Jackie Evenson, one of Andy's favorite mystery writers, and, with Jackie's help, Andy must find the real culprit before the police arrive on Christmas morning. Now a television movie starring William Baldwin, Dey Young, Kelly Daly and Tryphena Wade.

If the stories were true, they should not be repeated. That's what some said. Words were pushed underwater repeatedly, only to resurface dripping wet, blurring the lines of truth. How was it that a farmer became a double agent, sailed to Ireland, and released a freedom fighter? The effort to hide stories strains the best of relationships from one generation to the next. The energy to reveal the truth takes persistence and resilience. Now three generations later, the history of the Donohoe family is revisited. In the end, it is love that endures.

This handbook provides easily accessible information on the aetiology, assessment and management of nutritional disorders in children with neurodisability. Succinct review of current evidence and guidelines is used to inform best practice. Early chapters outline the normal anatomy and physiology of feeding before considering the assessment and management of disordered feeding, and impact on nutritional status. Subsequent chapters discuss nutritional assessment and management supported by clear illustration of anthropometry techniques. Further consideration of the consequences of under and over nutrition, and impact on bone health is included. Dedicated chapters on associated gastrointestinal problems, management of drooling and dental care consider related comorbidities commonly experienced by children with neurodisability. A dedicated chapter on the use of tube feeding considers specific nutritional requirements and psychological aspects of intervention. Clinical vignettes are used to illustrate key learning points throughout.

Open-Ended Maths Activities discusses the features of 'good' mathematical questions. It provides practical advice on how teachers can create their own open-ended and problem-solving questions, and use them effectively in the classroom.

Challenging Mathematical Tasks supports the idea that students learn best when working on problems that they do not yet know how to solve. Peter Sullivan's research shows that many students do not fear challenges in mathematics, but welcome them. Rather than having teachers instruct them, these students prefer to work out solutions for themselves.

This book shows how teachers can use classroom mathematics tasks to support student learning, presenting data on the ways in which teachers used those tasks in a specific research project. Demonstrates how use of mathematics can promote effective learning.
