Giles Jones, an out of work newspaperman sat on a bench watching the Thames flow by. There was a lot of traffic up and down the river at this time of night. Boats full of revellers were going past lights blazing, and music blaring. He had his camera on the seat beside him, just one good picture was all he needed. Something splashed in the water up stream from him, as it got nearer he thought it was a small boat, it had two lanterns and a bell on a rod which tinkled. It was a child's coffin and in the soft glow of the lanterns he could see that there was an occupant. This was the first victim of the Messenger of Death.

The Blood Soaked Trail of Franco De Angelo

Another Case for Bland and Boyd

By: Lyn D Jackson

Franco de Angelo, a vicious gangland criminal, stood in the dock scowling at the jury as he was sentenced. He was pronounced guilty and the judge gave him the maximum sentence. He told Franco that he and the jury thought he was a thoroughly bad lot. Franco vowed to take revenge on every last one of the jurors. He was taken from court, but escaped on his way to jail, together with the police wagon, and disappeared. Two years later the eleven remaining jurors were killed in the space of twenty-four hours. Detectives Bland and Boyd were brought in to track him down, and prevent him from killing again. However Franco had gone back to his secret identity, and the killing had not stopped.

It Started With A Funeral

By: Lyn D. Jackson

Detective Chief Inspector Bland was on sick leave and today he was attending a funeral in the drizzling rain, together with his wife Jean, his sergeant Darren Boyd and sergeant's girlfriend Amanda. Listening to the vicar drone on he noticed someone watching them discretely from a distance. It was Lady Isabella Trent, the owner of Redbridge Hall. She followed them back to the house and asked Bland to investigate a ghost at the hall. He said that he did not believe in ghosts and declined, but the others persueded him to spend just a couple of days there as he was suffering from boredom, from being confined to the house, after all what harm could it do? The first morning a member of staff was found murdered in the woods, followed by two more deaths, a shooting and a kidnapping, but this was only the start of the mayhem. Bland and Boyd realised it was not the ghost that they need be afraid of, but someone very much alive and ruthless, and so their next case began...........and it all started with a funeral.

Kiss the Teddy

(Why Dont Yer?)

By: Lyn D Jackson

There had been six armed robberies in quick succession, carried out by two men in black wearing balaclavas, and they left no clues to their identity. They seemed to leave the bank and disappear into thin air: there was never a getaway car. Detective Chief Inspecto Bland and Sergeant Boyd were being pressured to do something, and do it now! Then one night they robbed the local Dog Stadium, where Bland and his family were having a night out, and things began to change. Hovering in the background was a weird mother and son, she was in a wheelchair and they spent a lot of time in the local charity shop. The mother spent most of her time staring out of the window, watching the bank opposite..............

Remaking the Concept of Aptitude

Extending the Legacy of Richard E. Snow

By: Lyn Corno,Lee J. Cronbach,Haggai Kupermintz,David F. Lohman,Ellen B. Mandinach,Ann W. Porteus,Joan E. Talbert

The unique perspective of Richard E. Snow, in recent years one of the most distinguished educational psychologists, integrates psychology of individual differences, cognitive psychology, and motivational psychology. This capstone book pulls together the findings of his own 35 years of research on aptitudes and those from (especially) European scholars, of which he had exceptional knowledge. A panel of experts and former associates completed this book after his death in 1997, expanding his notes on implications of the theory for instructional design and teaching practice. The panel developed Snow's ideas on where the field should go next, emphasizing promising research strategies. Viewing intelligence as education's most important product, as well as its most important raw material, Snow stressed the need to consider both cognitive skills and affective-motivational characteristics. In this book, previously unconnected research and scattered theoretical ideas are integrated into a dynamic model of aptitude. Understanding the transaction between person and situation was Snow's primary concern. This volume draws from diverse resources to construct a theoretical model of aptitude as a complex process of unfolding person-situation dynamics. Remaking the Concept of Aptitude: Extending the Legacy of Richard E. Snow: *presents historical and contemporary discussion of aptitude theory, illuminating recent ideas by pointing to their historic antecedents; *provides evidence of how sound research can have practical ramifications in classroom settings; *discusses the strengths and weaknesses of prominent research programs, including Gardner's "multiple intelligence," meta-analysis, ATI experiments, and information processing; *describes in detail specific research that has developed important concepts--for example, Czikszentmihalyi on "flow"; Lambrechts on success in stressful training; Sternberg on componential analysis; and Gibson on tailoring affordances to match motivations; and *keeps statistical complexities to a minimum, and includes a simply written Appendix that explains the interpretation of key technical concepts. By characterizing sound research in the field, this volume is useful for psychologists and educational researchers. It will also be instructive for teachers seeking to deepen their knowledge of the whole child and for parents of children facing standardized testing.

The Evil Magic of the Blue Dragon Tree

By: Lyn D. Jackson

The Blue Dragon was evil, and the other dragons cast a spell on him and turned him into a small blue tree, but with the help of a Goblin he began to grow and so did his evil magic. The tree has large heart shaped leaves covered with fine poisonous stinging hairs. Any small creature that ventured close to the tree was sucked down and devoured by the roots that sprang out of the earth when they felt the vibration of movement above. The tree's blue roses had an intoxicating perfume and birds that alighted on the branches were soon overcome and fell unconscious to the ground and suffering the same fate as the other creatures. His evilspread throughout the realms and a band of friends went on a dangerous journey to destroy the tree before it could find a way to break the spell, and change back into an immortal evil dragon that could not be killed.
