There is powerful evidence, too powerful to ignore, that quilting is a desirable and valuable activity to health, wellbeing and maintenance of social ties and independence as we age. Neurological research has found vital brain exercise is involved in making a quilt. Specialists in ageing commend quilting's benefits for brain health and its restorative benefits for social and emotional health and wellbeing. They well know the physical benefits of quilting to the Over 65s. Well, research is all fine, and it's good to have proof of what quilters have known for many years. However, try as we might we can't control the effects of age on our body. For some of us, physical ageing can be a challenge, if not a barrier, to continuing to quilt. As we grow older, hand quilting and machine quilting become difficult as our fingers, hands, shoulders and backs stiffen or become painful through arthritis. Age affects our ability to hold and use quilting tools and manipulate the weight of large quilts. We dread the time when we can no longer enjoy our well loved pastime. In "You're Never Too Old To Quilt", Christine Sutton presents a guide for all who, despite the painful effects of ageing, struggle to keep quilting, and for those who want to learn to quilt, but because of similar physical challenges have been hesitant to try. Based on "Quilt-As-You-Go" methods, Chris identifies tools and techniques to keep us quilting despite our aches and pains, making quilting easier for those struggling to meet the challenges of ageing and disability. Whether you are old hand, or coming to quilting for the first time, there is much in this book to foster the love and joy of patchwork and quilting and encourage quilters to keep on doing what they love.

The Bland or The Bloating? The lifestyle choice of the garlic intolerant foodie. I love my food. The choice between bland and bloating is not one I'm prepared to make. Over the last 20+ years, I have found, through research and experimentation, garlic substitutes that allow the garlic intolerant and those who dislike garlic to create and enjoy delicious, creative, yummy food. Not that I don't like garlic. I do. I love it. Unfortunately, it doesn't love me. Any hint of garlic suffices to send me bolting to the bathroom with stomach cramps, abdominal pain, bloating, gas, and diarrhea. My body is intolerant of garlic in any form, whole, crushed, sliced, diced, powdered, and crystallised. There are millions like me all around the world, some also intolerant of onion. The only way for us to avoid illness is to avoid garlic and often the rest of the onion family, in any form. There are millions of other foodies who simply don't like garlic, and choose not to eat it. Here is a resource everyone can use to cook food at its most flavoursome, mouth-watering, delicious best - minus the enemy - for ourselves, our family and friends. In it you will find;-Garlic free recipes for basic stocks, condiments, sauces, curry pastes and dressings.-50+ garlic free recipes for popular dishes from Australian/British, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, Asian and Indian cuisines-Pantry staples essential for these international cuisines-Garlic substitutes that will add to the deliciousness of your food-Where to find them-Conversion tables from Australian to US and UK metric measures. My aim in sharing this collection is to encourage everyone, from home cooks to renowned chefs, to be creative in cooking and eating great food, garlic free. We deserve wider choices than The Bland or The Bloating

This little book is intended to give an overview of how the energy systems of the Human body work. It provides basic information and is pitched for people who work in non-precise ways with energy and those who are studying these topics. It is not intended to provide information in the very detailed form that Acupuncturists need. All energy therapies (e.g. Reiki, Reflexology, EFT, and TFT) work with the energetic parts of ourselves. They have been in use in various forms for centuries. In some cultures they are widely used and accepted, in others they have fallen into disuse and disrepute as the scientific model of life became established. This is particularly true of modern Western Cultures.

The final seals of the apocalypse are within the enemy's grasp. Our trio-the demon, the shapeshifter, and the succubus-continue to battle the djinn hell-bent on world domination. With God and Lucifer missing, Heaven and Hell are more vulnerable than ever, while Earth has been reduced to a battleground of famine and despair. Will Lenny, Drew and Polly be able to unmask the Master and stop their evil plan? Or will the djinn succeed and our heroes find that their world has been forever Cast in Shadow?

Chaos has taken over, wreaking havoc not only across the globe but also throughout Heaven and Hell. The next apocalyptic seals have been breached, and the leaders of the ethereal realms are paying the price. With tensions high and defenses at an all-time low, Polly, Lenny, and Drew continue to hunt down the evil behind it all. Millennia-old secrets rise to the surface, testing friendships and pushing loyalties to their breaking points. With the clock ticking and uncertainty in the air, will enough time remain to unravel a curse that the darkest of forces have Cast in Fire?

An unknown force threatens Heaven and Hell, along with every soul on Earth. Three unlikely heroes join together to restore universal balance. Will their shared adversary initiate an Apocalypse before they're able to uncover the truth, or will they rise to a calling that has, from the beginning of time, been Cast in Blood?

Try to imagine a spaceship that could pass right through the Earth without even noticing it was there. And one that could cross the vastness of space at the speed of light, and then penetrate into the very heart of subatomic matter to seek out its fundamental structure. Imagine, then, a particle that is almost nothing that can tell you almost everything about the structure of matter and the evolution of the Universe. Impossible? In fact, all of these descriptions can be applied to the neutrino, a subatomic particle that is so elusive it is almost undetectable. Spaceship Neutrino charts the history of the neutrino, from its beginnings in the 1930s, when it was postulated as a way of explaining an otherwise intractable problem in physics, to its crucial role in modern theories of the Universe. Christine Sutton is well known for her popular science writing. In this book she describes how the detection and measurement of neutrino properties have tested technology to its limits, requiring huge detectors, often located deep in mines, under mountains or even under the sea. As part of the story she explains without the use of mathematics how our understanding of the structure of matter and the forces that hold it together have come from work with neutrinos, and how these insignificant particles hold the key to our understanding of the beginning and the end of the Universe. This fascinating, well-written and highly illustrated book will be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in modern physics or astronomy, from school level right through to the professional scientist.
