Описание: The yoga-in-schools movement has been gaining momentum in recent years as adult practitioners realize the benefit of yoga in their personal lives and want to share it with children and youth. As the movement has grown, so has the need to understand how yoga works and its effects on individuals, groups, and school culture. Stories of School Yoga brings together firsthand narratives by teachers and practitioners from diverse settings nationwide to illuminate the multifaceted work, challenges, and benefits of teaching yoga to K-12 students in public schools. The stories here supplement and reframe quantitative research in the field; demonstrate how yoga can mitigate stress and tension, particularly amid an increased focus on standardized curricula and testing; and offer lessons learned and practical insights into planning, implementing, and running these programs. Rich in detail and accessible to nonspecialists, Stories of School Yoga presents helpful resources and a nuanced, on-the-ground look at the yoga-in-schools movement.

Описание: A riveting debut thriller by Andrea J. Johnson, and the first in the VICTORIA JUSTICE series. Twenty-five year old Victoria Justice has never really gotten over a near drowning at the hands of a high school bully, but has attempted to build her confidence and career as a court stenographer under the mentorship of The Honorable Frederica Scott Wannamaker, the county's first African-American Superior Court judge. But when her old nemesis appears on the court docket, Victoria's carefully crafted world implodes--evidence goes missing, a potential mistrial abounds, and the judge winds up drowned in the courthouse bathroom. Victoria realizes her transcript of the proceedings unlocks everyone's secrets...including the murderer's. Plagued with guilt for failing to protect her mentor, Victoria teams up with Ashton North, the handsome state trooper accused of mishandling trial evidence, and starts to untangle the conspiracy surrounding the case. Meanwhile, the deputy attorney general hangs himself during the Post-Election Festival. Everyone is quick to accept his suicide note as a sign of guilt, but Victoria is convinced the truth behind her mentor's death lies in the trial transcript. Can she suppress her fears long enough to crack the code, find her voice, and avoid the crosshairs of the killer?
This is the story of two basketball teams and their coach, Jim Musburger, who coached and taught in Strandquist and Karlstad, two small towns in northwestern Minnesota from 1956 to 1979. They were single-minded in their pursuit of excellence and good sportsmanship, in a way unique to small town basketball and other sports as well. Before computers, cell phones and video games, basketball, often the only winter sport in small towns, provided countless thrills and excitement for players, fans and coaches. Stories of small town sports are endlessly retold around the country, but the stories are fading as small schools dissolve. Strandquist, like many small schools in northwestern Minnesota, closed in 1991 and the Warriors consolidated with Karlstad. As enrollment dropped in Karlstad, the school consolidated their sports programs with Newfolden, and the Rabbits are now the Northern Freeze. The Warriors and the Rabbits are now history but their spirit and pride live on in all the athletes, coaches and fan, who poured their hearts and souls into every game. The stories, told by Coach Jim Musburger, his athletes and fellow coaches, recall the lasting impact of small town sports and how the culture of those towns shaped their lives.

Описание: "Be seen, not heard," that's what 25-year-old court stenographer Victoria tells herself until the town's only African-American judge is murdered during trial and Victoria realizes her transcript of the proceedings unlocks everyone's secrets...including the murderer's. Still haunted by a near drowning at the hands of a bigoted high school bully, Victoria Justice attempts to build her confidence and career under the mentorship of The Honorable Frederica Scott Wannamaker, the county's first African-American Superior Court judge. But when her old nemesis appears on the court docket, Victoria's carefully crafted world implodes--evidence goes missing, a potential mistrial abounds, and the judge winds up drowned in the courthouse bathroom.

Описание: When Victoria Justice finds herself on the phone with a mad bomber, she doesn't think twice about springing into action to diffuse the situation. After all, the Bickerton Superior Courthouse is no stranger to all manner of crimes. However, a mysterious package found in the lobby a few minutes later leads to a building evacuation that has everyone pointing fingers, that is, until a car explodes in the parking lot killing a government official. Authorities search the area for clues and determine a recently vindicated arsonist is to blame, but the arrest sparks an alternate theory for Victoria who believes the real culprit is still at large and that she may have been the true target.
With no leads but a manuscript of the initial bomb threat and a faint audio recording of the caller's scrambled voice, Victoria recruits former State Trooper Ashton North and local newsman Mike Slocum to help her weather the firestorm of community outrage. But can the two men refrain from killing each other long enough to keep Victoria alive and capture the murderer?
Fans of Knives Out, Law & Order, and Murder, She Wrote will love this killer courtroom cozy with its unexpected twists and turns.
