How is power divided in the United States government? - Belinda Stutzman

How is power divided in the United States government? - Belinda Stutzman My husband and I have been wanting to learn about the questions in the 2020 version of the Civics Test  required to become a naturalized citizen in the USA. We had decided it would be a little more interesting to watch some videos on YouTube about the different topics covered on the Civics Test rather than trying to memorize the questions and answers by rote. This TED Ed video has interesting information that coincide with quite a few questions on the Civics test. We both find it helpful to learn the information required more naturally.  It is one of the TED Ed videos with subtitles in many languages to help immigrants from around the world understand the English words more fully. Using the tag below for 2020 civics test practice... you can find some more that we have found. We are in no way "professionals" in this realm. We're simply sharing videos from reliable sources such as TED Ed that have some

Jones' third video about how she's gone about self-publishing romance books.  This video talks about marketing mostly from an author's point of view.

Let Me Show You How Self-Publishing Works - #2 - You Need Imagery

Let Me Show You How Self-Publishing Works - #2 - You Need Imagery Author Christina C. Jones' second installment of six talking about how self-publishing works for her.  I found her channel because she has vlogged about how Kindle Unlimited works.  I really wish a fantastic author that I knows could find her channel.  My best friend from youth that is absolutely a fantastic science fiction author, and she's also a amazing editor.  But, she isn't living the creative life because she's afraid of the work that goes into becoming self-published. She's afraid of the time that goes into blogging and promoting herself as an author. She's afraid to pay someone to create covers. She's even afraid to hire out as an editor on a site like Fiverr (though I swear she is amazing). If I shared these videos with her, I'm not sure she'd even watch them. Every time I tell her about my experience working for myself, she says something like... we'll we can't all m

Let Me Show You How Self Publishing Works #1 - Finish The Book

Let Me Show You How Self Publishing Works  #1 - Finish The Book The first in a series of six videos in which author Christina C. Jones talks about self-publishing. Finishing the book! Yes! I have so many projects sitting unfinished.  I can see from her catalog at Amazon that she has over 60 books since her first book published in 2013. I found her channel because she's also talked about using the Kindle Unlimited program. (I'm a KU reader... I'll definitely try this indie author.)
