  • Bokkers' Book Launch
    Book Launch “Crossing the Bar” Legal Bric-a–brac and Other Oddities By William Cox Law Society of Tasmania, 11 July 2012. The First Earl of Beaconsfield, better known as Benjamin Disraeli, was not only one of the leading politicians and statesmen of the Victorian era, he was also a highly successful author. His novels may perhaps be described as being of the romantic genre. The unkind might even call them “pot boilers” - but they were nevertheless quite popular in London Society in their day. So much so, that Disraeli frequently received unsolicited manuscripts from other aspiring and perhaps, less talented writers, seeking appraisal and comment from the great man. It is said that Disraeli’s standard response to these people was as follows; “Dear Sir (or Madam), I thank you for sending me your manuscript, which I shall waste no time in reading” When Bill Cox sent me a copy of the manuscript of his new book Crossing the Bar I was, therefore, momentarily tempted to emulate Disraeli’s deliberately amphibolous response. However, good manners and to be frank, a degree of cowardice, quickly persuaded me otherwise. Instead, I instantly set about reading it – and were it not for the fact that about an hour or so later I was rudely interrupted by the Deputy Secretary of some Department or other wanting advice that he probably ought to have sought months earlier, I would almost certainly have read it all in one sitting. 1 So, I think it may fairly be said after all, that I wasted no time in reading it - in either of the senses in which that expression might be understood.

  • The Wolf Pack Guide to Dog Training by Cat
    The Wolf Pack Guide to Dog Training Keys to Owning a Well-Mannered Canine Shout out to my original much-loved (but not terribly well-mannered) human wolf pack who inspired the Wolf Pack Guide Book Series: Jenn, Morris, Alan, and Ben. Also to “The Werewolf”~ Love you all! Awwwwooooooooooooooooooo! Praise for The Wolf Pack Guide to Dog Training ~It is with great pleasure that I submit…our positive review of The Wolf Pack Guide to Dog Training: (It was) an enriching, positive bonding experience for our entire family of four (2 parents and two daughters ages 11 years & 13 years old) with our newly rescued German shepherd named ‘MAX.’ When we used Cat Spydell’s The Wolf Pack Guide to Dog Training techniques, (they were) simple (and) all our family quickly understood and implemented the techniques with astoundingly effective results. (The results were) especially notable given our dog was a newly rescued 3 ½ year old German shepherd. Our dog ‘MAX’ still positively responds when we use ‘wolf pack’ training techniques in new (or) previously encountered situations. We enthusiastically recommend using The Wolf Pack Guide to Dog Training for a simply positive and effective training experience! —Laura C. and family _________________________________ ~That (training advice) you shared with me from The Wolf Pack Guide to Dog Training is amazing!! I use it everywhere now! (Buddy is) already a more grateful dog! You are a genius!!!! —Susan D. A Note from Author Cat Spydell I am excited to offer The Wolf Pack Guide to Dog Training eBook to anyone who needs dog training guidance, FREE! The Wolf Pack Guide to Dog Training offers effective and easy tips for dog training.

  • Dr. Ed's Movie Reviews 2020
    Dr. Ed’s Movie Reviews 2020 Yardeni Research, Inc. Dr. Edward Yardeni 516-972-7683 [email protected] Please visit our sites at www.yardeni.com blog.yardeni.com thinking outside the box “1917” (+ +) received the Best Picture award during the Golden Globe Awards held on 1/5/20. It was well deserved. Directed, co-written, and produced by Sam Mendes, the film is about two young British soldiers during World War I who were ordered to deliver a message deep in enemy territory to save 1,600 of their compatriots from an ambush by German forces. The acting is excellent, and the cinematography is outstanding, with very long camera shots creating the impression of one continuous take. The depiction of war’s horrors was also exceptional. Even more exceptional was the 2018 documentary “They Shall Not Grow Old,” directed and produced by Peter Jackson. That film was created using original WWI footage that had been digitally restored. The agony of war, particularly trench warfare, was remarkably graphic. “Away” (+) is a binge-able Netflix series about an American astronaut, played by Hilary Swank, embarking on a dangerous mission to Mars as commander of an international space crew with representatives from China, India, Russia, and Ghana. The first season spends more time on the emotional toll of being away from family and loved ones on a three-year roundtrip to the Red Planet than on the actual journey, which obviously doesn’t go so smoothly with plenty of technical and interpersonal problems along the way there. So it’s a touchy-feely Mars movie.
