Blogwarming Party: More Than One Category

Posted on February 9, 2012 by Kyle McManamy

You people are so generous and thoughtful! When you brought us the sort of gifts you thought we'd like to have "more than one of" you made sure we'd have plenty to eat. In that spirit, we'd like to thank Homeschooling Unscripted for the Chick-Fil-A calendar which won our contest! (Because it would feed us year-round!). We will be contacting you about collecting your prize of The Ultimate Homeschool Planner so that you can have year-round blessings, too! See what else we were given. MMMmmmmm. (thanks for the money and flag, too!)

Blogwarming Gift: Blog Pet Category

Posted on February 7, 2012 by Kyle McManamy

Thank you to everyone who sent in housewarming gifts as we move into our new blog (or, "Blogwarming" gifts). These entries were a part of a contest to find gifts that were either The Cutest, The Funniest, The Gift We'd Love to Have More than One of, The Most Likely Pet, The Most Likely to be Regifted; this week we'll show you which ones won!

We are happy to announce that Peaty, the brown Vizsla featured to the right, is our first winner and the Most Likely Pet for us to have around the blog (read his story to find out why). We will email Peaty directly for him to collect our elementary science curriculum, Zoology 3: Land Animals of the Sixth Day.

About Peaty
Peaty, our one year old Vizsla, is such a blessing!  We got him in Washington State, three months after our 7 year old son passed away.  Peaty has blessed our hearts so much and he has given us such peace and comfort and happiness on many days.  We thank the Lord for this precious creation of God! Peaty has somewhat filled the void (though never will replace) of our son Evan not having a brother on earth.
 
This past Sunday afternoon, Peaty saved our 6 year old son, Evan, from being attacked by a rattlesnake.  Peaty was bit by the snake and, praise the Lord, he survived and is doing well!  I just had to share with you how precious this dog is to us.  He is like a child, and we are ever so grateful we adopted him into our family.  spacer
 
More contest winners to be announced this week!
 
Have a look at our other great entries!

Dr. James Wanliss Joins the Apologia Team

Posted on January 30, 2012 by Apologia

spacer Apologia Educational Ministries is pleased to announce that Dr. James Wanliss has joined the Apologia team as a conference speaker and representative. Originally from South Africa, James now resides in South Carolina with his wife, Esther, and their two homeschooled girls.

In addition to undergraduate degrees in applied mathematics and physics and a master’s in geophysics, Dr. Wanliss holds a PhD in plasma physics. He conducted postdoctoral studies in space weather at the Canadian Space Agency, and has been a visiting researcher at the Japanese Space Agency, UCLA, and the University of Washington. He has also done research as a visiting associate professor at Kyung-Hee University in South Korea, the Solar-Terrestrial Environment Laboratory at Nagoya University in Japan, and at Clemson University in South Carolina.

His scientific work has focused mainly on the causes and consequences of space weather, for which Dr. Wanliss is the recipient of numerous awards and honors, notably the prestigious CAREER grant awarded to outstanding scholar-teachers by the National Science Foundation.

Dr. Wanliss has published more than fifty peer-reviewed papers and is the author of the book Resisting the Green Dragon, an in-depth expose of the environmentalist movement. The title Resisting the Green Dragon takes its cue from James 4:7, “Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” The book shows how the Bible powerfully confronts environmental fears and how, in God's wise design, people and nature can thrive together.

Dr. Wanliss has lectured on topics as diverse as space weather, radiation and neurophysics, science pedagogy, global warming, Christian apologetics, and homeschooling. He will represent Apologia as a speaker in the homeschool community.

Please join us in welcoming Dr. Wanliss to the Apologia family. You can visit him via his blog at www.wanliss.com.
