Each Day Counts

We are all called to know, love and serve God in this world and to be happy with Him in the next life. However as the bible records and human experience shows us...we are sons and daughters of Adam and Eve and have been infected by sin hence we need a Savior who is Jesus Christ. In our sin-saddened world we should strive to do Christ like actions in our thoughts, words and deeds. This book is meant to inspire you to live a full Christian life in a world that is hostile but despite the difficulties we should remember that Jesus Christ will help us if we pray and seek his help and direction for our lives as we are pilgrims on this earth.

Every Day Counts contains 366 daily devotionals that allows the reader to either work through the devotionals on a daily basis using the page date, or alternatively, the number sequence provided. Each devotional is introduced using a number that has some association with a scripture in one form or another. The format is D I Y (If you don’t sow you don’t reap) in terms of checking the suggested scriptures in the bible version of your choice, then evaluating and thinking through the challenges that allows the Holy Spirit to bring to your attention, that requiring your positive action on.

A psychologist draws on her experiences working in a pediatric oncology ward to share the remarkable lessons she has learned from her young patients--playing relieves stress, it is okay to cry, love is not a cure but a powerful antidote to pain, look for ways to make each day special, and meaning in life comes from how we respond to what happens to us. 35,000 first printing.

Just as athletes stretch their muscles before every game and musicians play scales to keep their technique in tune, mathematical thinkers and problem solvers can benefit from daily warm-up exercises. Jessica Shumway has developed a series of routines designed to help young students internalize and deepen their facility with numbers. The daily use of these quick five-, ten-, or fifteen-minute experiences at the beginning of math class will help build students' number sense. Students with strong number sense understand numbers, ways to represent numbers, relationships among numbers, and number systems. They make reasonable estimates, compute fluently, use reasoning strategies (e.g., relate operations, such as addition and subtraction, to each other), and use visual models based on their number sense to solve problems. Students who never develop strong number sense will struggle with nearly all mathematical strands, from measurement and geometry to data and equations. In Number Sense Routines, Jessica shows that number sense can be taught to all students. Dozens of classroom examples -- including conversations among students engaging in number sense routines -- illustrate how the routines work, how children's number sense develops, and how to implement responsive routines. Additionally, teachers will gain a deeper understanding of the underlying math -- the big ideas, skills, and strategies children learn as they develop numerical literacy.

Graduate from Excel to MATLAB® to keep up with the evolution of finance data Foundations of Computational Finance with MATLAB® is an introductory text for both finance professionals looking to branch out from the spreadsheet, and for programmers who wish to learn more about finance. As financial data grows in volume and complexity, its very nature has changed to the extent that traditional financial calculators and spreadsheet programs are simply no longer enough. Today’s analysts need more powerful data solutions with more customization and visualization capabilities, and MATLAB provides all of this and more in an easy-to-learn skillset. This book walks you through the basics, and then shows you how to stretch your new skills to create customized solutions. Part I demonstrates MATLAB’s capabilities as they apply to traditional finance concepts, and PART II shows you how to create interactive and reusable code, link with external data sources, communicate graphically, and more. Master MATLAB’s basic operations including matrices, arrays, and flexible data structures Learn how to build your own customized solutions when the built-ins just won’t do Learn how to handle financial data and industry-specific variables including risk and uncertainty Adopt more accurate modeling practices for portfolios, options, time series, and more MATLAB is an integrated development environment that includes everything you need in one well-designed user interface. Available Toolboxes provide tested algorithms that save you hours of code, and the skills you learn using MATLAB make it easier to learn additional languages if you choose to do so. Financial firms are catching up to universities in MATLAB usage, so this is skill set that will follow you throughout your career. When you’re ready to step into the new age of finance, Foundations of Computational Finance with MATLAB provides the expert instruction you need to get started quickly.
