Too many families these days seem to be in "survival" mode. Rushing from one activity to another, trying to juggle work commitments with home responsibilities, today's families often find themselves with little time to attend to the inner needs of everyone involved. In CARE Packages for the Home, author Barbara Glanz offers countless ways to help families forge more caring, creative, and joyful places to live. Through the stories of real-life families, schools, and neighborhoods, Glanz encourages readers to take action by adapting the ideas to their own families. One family, for example, keeps a "Family Fun Box." Each person can write down things they'd like to do as a whole family, and once a week, they choose one idea from the box. Another holds a "My Family Is Special" celebration each month. Yet another uses a secret hand squeeze that can signal "I love you" no matter the time or place. Whether your family is a single-parent family, a blended family, an extended family, or a retired family, this book contains special ideas just for you. Barbara Glanz is an internationally known author, speaker, and consultant whose books include The Creative Communicator-399 Ways to Make Your Business Communications Meaningful and Inspiring; Building Customer Loyalty-How YOU Can Help Keep Customers Returning; and CARE Packages for the Workplace-Dozens of Little Things You Can Do to Regenerate Spirit at Work. She lives in Western Springs, Illinois.

This Guided Imagery CD is incredibly effective for improving and maintaining your health. It was created using the most sophisticated digital recording and processing available today. The sound of a mountain stream and beautiful synthesizer music combine to enhance your relaxation, while William H. Brown's soothing voice guides you through a tranquil visual trek that helps to heal and connect your body and mind. Play this recording over and over again even while you sleep. Your physical health will begin to strengthen within a few days of use. This program is great for increasing your immune system. Fact: Your Body and Mind is the most effective support system you have to maintain and stabilize your physical health.We now know in the United States, that our medical sciences (while well advanced) can only provide for limited assistance in recovery. Our actual healing and recovery is something we do on our own. Most often, medication and treatment act merely as a support system until your bodys natural immunity and healing ability takes over. (Chemotherapy is an obvious example of this western medical treatment.) However, as most other cultures in our world know, you have the most powerful healing mechanism within your own body -- your immune system! By building your immune system and springing it into action, your body's natural resources and healing capabilities come together to assist in healing and recovery from most any disease or illness. As described in medical journals, studies and reviews, this CD combines the success of mind/body healing, psychoacoustics and psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) for your benefit. Research in the field has helped to catapult mind/body healing to the next level. If you know how effective and important your own natural body's immunity truly is, then you understand the importance of this audio CD program..

Description:
It has been proposed that invasive plants are often less palatable or better able to compensate for biomass losses by herbivory than related, non-invasive species growing in the same area. We hypothesised that low palatability to slugs and/or an ability to compensate for grazing damage are traits contributing to the invasiveness of perennial Brassicaceae forb species introduced to northwestern and central Europe. In common garden and glasshouse experiments we compared life-history and fitness parameters of three native and three invasive Brassicaceae species of central European provenance that were subjected to herbivory by two slug species. Using the same species we performed leaf disc preference assays and investigated the effects of slug herbivory on small plants regenerated from root fragments and seedlings in field and glasshouse experiments. We found high between-species variation in susceptibility to slug herbivory but these were not related to the native or invasive status of the species. While the proportions of seedlings damaged or killed by slug herbivory did not differ between the two groups of species, the survival of damaged root regenerates was higher than that of seedlings. Consistent with our hypothesis, the invasive species, particularly those with clonal reproduction, showed higher compensation growth after slug herbivory. Our results suggest that a high ability for compensation growth in invasive Brassicaceae species makes them more tolerant to slug damage than native congeners. The potential to regenerate from root fragments, which are less vulnerable than seedlings to herbivory, appears to be another important factor contributing to the invasiveness of some clonal species. Since many invasive plant species share these traits (though regeneration may be from plant parts other than roots), we suggest that tolerance of herbivory may be one of the characteristics of many successful invaders. .
