There is nothing you need more than the warm, reassuring voice of one who has traveled this path before... and survived after suffering the death of a spouse. In Finding Your Way After Your Spouse Dies, Marta Felber offers just such a voice-caring, hopeful, always pointing ahead to a tomorrow that will be a little easier than today. Having experienced her own spouse's death, Felber is never glib or simplistic. She knows the grief her readers are feeling and she encourages them to give it full expression. At the same time, she offers sound, practical suggestions on how to navigate difficult days. This book shies away from none of the difficult issues of bereavement. Felber gently urges her readers toward careful, honest examination of the issues they face
"This book presents a guide for coping with the practical issues that face the recently widowed as they struggle through the grieving process. It is written by one who has experienced personal grief and loss and understands what needs to be faced when a spouse dies." --Mauryeen O'Brien, O.P., Author Praying Through Grief

Well written, By Linda

though book, By empteenest
Very helpful after losing my husband. walked me through the steps of grief and if I was progressing as I should be

By Lowella Frazee,
I loved this book, it helped me move forward gently in my grief it is easy to read the two pages a day. I first found it when my spouse passed away, the messages seemed always constructive and helpful through my grief. I first read it every day and now that it has been several months I read it as needed. The Bible passages given to read always are appropriate and very helpful.
I have been buying copies for other people going through similar grief and everyone has found it helpful also. I suspect because it is only the two pages to read and not overwhelming and a way to help us to move forward gently.

Wish I had it sooner, By Linnymsw "Linda Stultz" (Magalia, CA USA)
Got this 3 months after my husband died. It would have helped me more then than it did 3 months later. I recommend this book highly. Lots of good ideas and the chapters are short, so you can get through them while you are under the brain fog of grief. Practical and loving in spirit. Wonderful book.

Great book for many!, By Anne A
This book was recommended by a friend and what a find! This book is simple straight forward and provides uplifting and guiding messages during times of loss. My friend who lost her husband 4 months ago received the book and then ordered one for all her grown children. Very helpful and God based. It provides us with a compass in the hardest of times.

I AM NOT ALONE, By Karen Cutlip
So many thoughts go through your mind when you lose a spouse. Not knowing what lies in your future is the scariest because you are alone now. You are waking up alone to an empty house every day and going to bed alone at night. You wonder what lies ahead for you one minute then you just maintain while continuing your day to day living; going to work, come home. There is very good advice in this book and not only that but you can relate with everything you read and you know you will pull through.Your Way After Your Spouse Dies Paperback by Marta Felber

Most behavior is goal directed. The process of how to reach goals is a skill that children can use throughout their lives. This book evolved out of my persistence in finding a way for helping children learn to help themselves. A child’s personal engagement and investment in the whole process creates higher motivation, inspiration, and energy to achieve a goal. What better way for children to become more responsible to build character or successful management of behavior, aspire to reach greater scholastic achievement, or help draw out personal passion and interests than learning the process of goal setting?
It’s message is clear. It breaks down the process of goal setting so that it makes common sense to the reader. Children are much more apt to be enthused and encouraged when they can comprehend the “Why” behind the “How”. Learning to be in touch with inner feelings does create awareness and gives one power to make better choices and decisions. This is the gift I want children to open as they read this book.


Ah, the magic of summer reading. 🌞 Whether you're soaking up the sun on the beach, relaxing in the park, or simply enjoying a lazy day indoors, summer is the perfect time to dive into some captivating English books.
With longer days and a more relaxed schedule, you have the chance to immerse yourself in diverse stories, broaden your vocabulary, and improve your comprehension—all in a laid-back and enjoyable way.
Let's explore how summer reading can enhance your English language skills and add a splash of fun to your learning journey...
1. Choose Your Adventure
Summer reading is all about exploring different genres and discovering stories that resonate with you. Whether you're into thrilling mysteries, heartwarming romance, thought-provoking sci-fi, or fascinating non-fiction, there's a book out there just waiting for you to pick it up. Choose a book that matches your interests and let the adventure begin!
2. Set Realistic Goals
As a non-native speaker, it's important to set realistic goals that challenge you without overwhelming you. Start with a book that's slightly above your comfort level—this way, you'll expand your vocabulary and language skills while still enjoying the process. Aim to finish a certain number of pages or chapters each week, and celebrate your progress along the way.
TOP TIP: Try adding a 'graded English reader' to your reading list! These are specially designed books for learners at each level of English. There are some brilliant 'readers' available from Penguin, Macmillan, Pearson, Cambridge University Press, and more.
3. Expand Your Vocabulary
Did you know that reading is one of the most effective ways to expand your vocabulary? As you immerse yourself in the pages of a book, underline any new words and phrases you find in context.
Later on, go back and check their meanings, and then practice using them in sentences. This hands-on approach to learning will help you remember and integrate new vocabulary into your everyday conversations.
4. Enhance Comprehension Skills
Improving your comprehension skills is like sharpening your detective instincts. 🕵🏻♀ As you read, pay attention to the plot, characters, and emotions expressed in the story. Try summarising each chapter or section in your own words to make sure you've understood the main ideas of the narrative.
5. Stay Curious and Engaged
Reading in English shouldn't feel like a chore—it should be a joyful experience that keeps you curious and engaged. If you find a challenging passage, don't be discouraged. Instead, think of it as a puzzle to solve. Break down the sentence, identify key words, and piece together the meaning. Remember, every challenge you overcome is a step toward mastery!
6. Connect and Share
Summer reading becomes even more enjoyable when shared with others. Discussing the book with other learners or participating in online discussions about the book you're reading can open up new avenues for learning. Expressing your thoughts and opinions in English will boost your confidence and provide opportunities to practice writing skills as well.
BONUS TIP: We discuss books, reading, and a wide range of other interesting topics in the Brighter English Conversation Club! Join our fun and friendly group for an hour of live online English discussions every week - and give your speaking skills a real boost. Book your trial lesson here. 👇🏼
So, are you ready to embark on your summer reading adventure? The world of English literature awaits you with open pages and countless stories to tell.
As you relax in the summer sun, let the words transport you to new places, challenge your mind, and bring joy to your language learning journey. Happy reading! 📚🌴


Telling stories is in our DNA, when men and women sat around the fire, inside the cave, to relate the experiences of the day. To speak of a story is to speak of the history of humanity, for it has been present in all ages, in all cultures, in all classes and human groups. For this reason, many theorists place narrative and language as the quality that most differentiates us from other animals.
Consequently, telling stories or tales to the little ones is also a very long-standing tradition, even older than the writing itself. The essential thing in a story is in the air, in the atmosphere that is being created, in the way and style of narrating, in the tension and suspense, in the emotion that is achieved, but above all, in the values that they manage to transmit.
Never before has the story had so many possibilities of expansion and scope as today, with the Internet age . Today’s tales can always be enriched, or even reinvented, thanks to the power of networks and new technologies. This is what the creators of creAPPcounts wanted to do .
CreAPPCuentos is an interactive application for tablets designed to create new stories from the elements and characters of life stories.
What is creAPPcounts?
CreAPPcounts, developed by a startup from Pontevedra and already awarded in its two years of life, goes one step further in what the new narratives in tactile supports mean, as it allows children to create their own stories, to tell the story that they want or move the characters as they please.
Designed for children from 6 to 8 years old, the application can be downloaded for free for both Android and iOS . It includes an initial pack with which to start inventing all the stories we want, without any limitation, but there is also the option of buying up to 12 extra packages for a small price of € 0.89 each.
How to make an illustrated digital story with this application is very simple. The first of all will be to choose a thematic pack . We can choose between tales of pirates, princesses, monsters, aliens, superheroes, robots, dinosaurs … and much more. The second step will be to select the background of the first sheet, and then begin to incorporate the characters and objects that we want, which we can scale, move, rotate or delete.
Once the stage is created, you can add audio and text in any language, in addition to adding background music. When we finish making the first page, we can add more elements by repeating the previous steps and, finally, we will only be left to enjoy it and share it with other users .
In the current version you can export the story in PDF format and even generate a video, with the possibility of being uploaded to the app’s own YouTube channel . In addition, in the virtual library, we can access the stories created by other users. Being able to save and share stories are very interesting features, since one of the purposes of the creators is that the application can collect the stories of boys and girls from different parts of the world and, thus, enrich themselves culturally.
Those responsible for the Galician app focused a good part of their efforts on obtaining a template of prestigious graphic collaborators, who are responsible for creating the characters and their objects, the fundamental ingredients of a story. Among them are Alberto García Ariza, Abraham Carreiro, Raquel López or Pirusca.
One of creAPPcounts strong points is the quality of its illustrations .
CreAPPcounts, also at school
The application is also a very interesting resource for teachers , since it can be used as a tool to promote creativity in children. The goal of its creators is that creAPPcounts stimulate the imagination, improving skills such as reading, writing, socializing or speaking, among others.

Lawren Harris likes Van Gogh.
He spoke of Van Gogh during his time in Berlin. If I hadn’t known otherwise, it seemed like Lawren had actually met Vincent himself. If it were case, I’m sure that he would have given Vincent a few dollars and a bottle of whisky to make it to month’s end. Truthfully, I am also fascinated by Van Gogh. I learned what I could from the books at the library, but Lawren gave me the real tips he learned in Europe.


Pertaining its legacy as a unique cultural landmark, the award-winning palace, Qasr Al Watan, is hosting the ‘Pearls of Wisdom’ exhibition in collaboration with Abu Dhabi’s Department of Culture and Tourism (DCT) and Culture Planning & Development Department. Recently launched with an opening ceremony, the exhibition will be open to the public until January 06.
Split into seven zones and showcasing valuable manuscripts in the fields of literature, heritage, religion, music, philosophy, and science, the exhibition will take visitors on a historical journey that deliberates the influence of Arab culture on Europe, highlighting the role of Arab civilisation in generating religious dialogue and contributing knowledge that paved the way for the European Renaissance.
At the heart of House of Knowledge, visitors will find themselves in an immersive gallery panel covering the Golden Age of Islamic Civilization and Two regions that are at the heart of medieval Europe -Al-Andalus in the Iberian Peninsula and Sicily in southern Italy. As visitors get through the different zones they will be exposed to ‘The Evolution of Vernacular Arabic in Europe, Andalusian Calligraphy, Arabic Calligraphy in Sicilian Art, Bridge between Greek Knowledge and the Islamic World’ and many more monumental topics.
Before visitors conclude their visit, they can head to the Palace’s Library to explore a collection of more than 50,000 books about the UAE’s history and politics along with topics such as history, architecture, biology and ethnography.

This weekend, I picked up two awesome (and, I know I use that word a lot, but I really mean it this time) books that have made me super, super happy. Ecstatic even. The Traitor Legions book is fantastic and it’s given me a new lease of love for the Emperor’s Children and I’m very tempted to go overboard on my old favourite army again, but this isn’t the book I want to talk to you about. Everyone and their battle-brother has been pouring over this and discussing at length and anything I say here and now will be simple repetition. The book I want to talk to you about is Index Chaotica: Apocrypha, or, as I like to call it, All The Reasons I Became A Happy Heretic In One Book (Ok, their title is better).
So, what is this book? This is a huge slice of nostalgia, a history lesson, an art show, a miniatures showcase, a design guide and a fluff factory rolled into one. It will take you back in time to when Horus was just an ‘Imperial Commander’, to when the Iron Warriors were dedicated to Slaanesh (yup), to when there were more daemon engines than you could shake a power maul at, and to when artists had more freedom to really just let Chaos spew forth onto the page.
This book is a collection of Chaos-themed articles, images, illustrations, rules and stories from when 40k first began and its early years. With pages taken straight from Slaves To Darkness and The Lost And The Damned, we get to see the very origins of Chaos in the 41st millennium, and as the book moves on, we get to see how the stories, interpretations and illustrations of both the characters and the lore moved on. What’s more, they’ve pulled in some of the old fluff as well, and in the image above, is a real favourite of mine – the tale of Inquisitor Thrax. It’s a very short tale, but I remember reading it as a kid and getting goosebumps. And now I have it in this amazing book too!
It’s fantastic to see how much the GW team have dug around in the archives for some of this content and the book has been put together exceptionally well. It flows faultlessly through the ages, the armies and the illustrative history of Chaos in the early years of Warhammer 40,000. And I love that they found the images above. Remember earlier when I mentioned the Iron Warriors being sworn to Slaanesh? Well, as you can see above, so were the Alpha Legion (and the EC of course). And opposite them on these beautiful colour plates, we have the legions dedicated to Khorne. I’ll leave you to work those out and go ‘huh’ or ‘eh!?’ for yourself.
Another real treat here is the inclusion of many of Jes Goodwin’s original designs for the Chaos Space Marines. Shown above are the Emperor’s Children, and the early sonic weaponry, but there’s a huge amount more in these pages too. I recently picked up Jes’ Eldar book as well, and just as with that, there are some brilliant little notes across all of these that show you the logic and uniqueness of each design. In the above example, there’s a note talking about how, due to their raiding tendencies, the Emperor’s Children have access to even modern Space Marine armour marks, and another talks about how they customise their armour too. You can get lost in these little tidbits – well, I can anyway.
And then there are the model shots. That’s not really what this book is about, and there aren’t too many in here, but when they do appear, your nostalgia bone breaks in half with excitement. I haven’t seen the above pages since they first appeared in White Dwarf and it’s a joy to see the Subjugators stride forth again. If only Forge World could make some of these… (hint, hint if any of you at FW are reading this). And yes, all of the Khorne Daemon engines are in there too, along with the Banelord, for anyone who remembers that amazing mini. They’ve just ticked all of the boxes with this book, and even though I’ve been flicking through it endlessly since Saturday, I’m still finding things in there that make me smile. A wicked, terrible, teeth-baring smile.
And just to top it all off, there are rules too. Lots of them. You can see all the old profiles and stat lines, alongside some of those favourite illustrations and fluff-pieces. It’s just great. There really isn’t anything bad to say about this book, except that I wish it was twice as long. Not that 140 odd pages isn’t enough – it’s a good sized tome – but I’m just greedy like that and perpetually want more.
Who is this book for? Anyone with a love for the Dark Gods. They all get a lot of coverage here and there’s plenty to dive into. If you’re interested in the history, or even if you want to relive it, this book is a must. It’s so much fun to read through this. That’s the word. Fun. From the incredible illustrations that have been done by people like John Blanche and Adrain Smith, to the stories, secrets and special characters who all have their origin stories included in one way or another, this is just a wonderful read.
I’ll leave you with one of my favourite illustrations below (though it should also be mentioned, if you have a favourite old Chaos illustration, it’s almost certainly in here – there are so many!!), and just a final note to say that this is a great book. I can’t find anything to moan about. I can’t see a downside. Maybe Slaanesh has got to me, but this book gives me nothing but pleasure to read, and if you’re a fan of Chaos in Warhammer 40,000, you’re going to love it too. Onwards!
Excellent! The Index Astartes: Apocrypha book was really cool, and this one seems even better, since, y’know, Chaos is always better 😀 I’ll have to hunt up a copy.
I like the way GW is finally acknowledging their history. For some years each new release steadfastly looked away from the many fine models and books that kept us engaged for so long.
I know what you mean. It’s that thing where you have to try and be cool and forward facing until what you once were is then considered retro and cool in its own right. Then you can shine a spotlight on your history a bit more. Long may they continue to do so – some of the old stuff is just wonderful, and at least you can have a giggle at the rubbish stuff. 🙂


Passionate Pursuits is a feature length documentary that begins with Bowen’s accidental discovery of dance when her mother enrolled her in The Elma Lewis School of Fine Arts in 1952 to improve her posture. This chance encounter with classical dance, at 14, turned into her passion which she pursued relentlessly. “It was the first time I couldn’t do something. I was awkward and tall with stiff legs and a bad back, and totally self conscious,” says Angela
With Lewis as her mentor, Bowen began seeing steady improvements in the exercises necessary to dance. Within the first year, Lewis selected her to dance in the opera, Faust. Angela says, “It was the first place that I ever really heard classical music in its entirety and connected it to the costumes and the movement and began not to be so self conscious of my body and actually thought it was beautiful.”
Bowen emerged as Lewis’s prima ballerina, and danced some of classical dances most coveted roles including Swan Lake at Boston’s John Hancock Auditorium. “Dance turned my world from gray to technicolor,” says Bowen.
“She was a very exciting performer; ” says Lewis, “the audiences waited for her to appear. ” Lewis’s school grew from a living room in a rented house to a large studio. “When I saw that she could teach what she learned, I made her my assistant teacher,” says Lewis.
When Angela was in her early twenties she wanted to pursue a professional dance career. Lewis urged her to remain at her school and continue teaching, and her mother wanted her to finish college. Angela assured her mother that one day she would finish college but that she had to dance while she was young.
When Angela was only two years old, her father died and Mrs. Bowen was a young widow with seven children. She worked two jobs working as a domestic during the day and scrubbing hotel floors at night. “My mother told me that I had special gifts, but asked me what good are they unless you can share them. She also told me I had the right to live my own life.”, philosophies Angela has practiced all her life. Unfortunately Sarah Allen Bowen did not live to see the success of her daughter. Mrs. Bowen was 53 when she died.
After mourning the loss of her mother, Angela left Boston and made her way to New York to begin her life. She was 22. She met up with Kenneth Scott her long time dance partner from the Lewis school who had already left Boston with the hope of performing in New York. Bowen and Scott confronted the unwritten policy of No Blacks on Broadway and repeatedly auditioned for ballet companies or Broadway shows knowing they would be dismissed. “We knew they weren’t going to take us, but we auditioned over and over again just to be in their faces. It was our job,” Bowen says.
When Bowen found out about an opportunity to try out for a review touring Europe, she and Scott went to the audition and made the cut. “They wanted us to do all styles of dance, says Bowen.” They joined the Jazz Train tour, which offered them opportunities to travel and perform on stages in Europe including the La Scala Opera House, in Milan.
Angela loved performing, but once the show was over, she felt very alone and unfulfilled. After nine months, she decided that the touring life was not the life for her. When she returned to Boston, she knew she wanted to open her own dance school. She married the young drummer, Ken Peters, whom she had met at Lewis’s studio. Bowen researched New Haven, Connecticut, a small city between Boston and New York, and she and her husband set out for the city with their 2-year-old son and $360 dollars in their pockets.
The Bowen Peters School of Dance opened in a small storefront near the projects right behind Yale University. “We had 14 students when we began, and 7 of them were unable to pay. We just wanted to get them in there.”
The school held its first recital in 1963, and the community was awed by the quality of the dance and the music – both classical and contemporary. Shortly after their first recital, however, a drunk driver ran into their station wagon killing their three-year-old son. Bowen’s deep depression put everything into question. After several months, she pulled herself together because of a promise she had made to a very talented young man who had wanted to dance on Broadway. On that promise, the school re-opened and Bowen Peters went on to nurture the talents of children and parents in the community. Over the years, many of her students have opened up their own dance schools, or have gone on to teach dance themselves while others credit her for inspiring them to believe in themselves and for awakening their creativity.
The school grew in size and reputation throughout the state and beyond. After nearly two decades of teaching,however, and a serious illness, Bowen knew that she had to change her life.
She had discovered the writings of black and white feminists and determined that she had to find her way out of one life and into another – one that would allow her to discover her other talents and develop them. She continues to do this even now at the age of 76. At middle age, Bowen completed her Bachelor’s degree, keeping the promise she had made to her mother, and went on to become the first recipients of a Ph.D. in Women’s Studies and African American History at Clark University.
Bowen recently retired from teaching at CSULB in the department of Women’s Studies where she taught for 13 years. Bowen is an Audre Lorde Scholar and has written and spoken nationally and internationally about the connections between and across social justice movements. She is currently working on a book of short stories.
Angela Bowen has kept her passions alive across the decades, even in the face of poverty and the ugliness of racism, sexism, ageism and homophobia. She has nurtured and cultivated the next wave of young people assisting them to have faith in themselves, to discover their own talents, and to realize that each have something unique to share with the rest of the world.
The Passionate Pursuits of Angela Bowen illuminates Bowen’s experiences through her richly layered lens as a black lesbian feminist artist, activist, mother, and teacher while tracing the major influences, challenges, disappointments, tragedies, accomplishments, and critical transitions in her life.
Passionate Pursuits is Bowen’s living legacy. It will inspire audiences to pursue their dreams with tenacity and courage not only for themselves alone.
The film is dedicated to the artists and educators who nourish our communities and to students who hunger to fulfill the passions inside them.


This is my very favorite scene in Disney's Beauty and the Beast. It's where the Beast essentially gives Beauty his library ...
Why is it my favorite scene? Because it is an example of giving someone the perfect gift.
Am I saying the perfect gift is a library full of books? Well, for some of us that may actually be the case, but that is not what I'm getting at here.
What makes this the perfect gift? I mean, after all, the guy is really really rich. Can't he cough up a shiny little bobble or two?
No. Because that is not what will make Belle's heart sing--and Beast knows that. In fact, it's the KNOWING, that is the best gift of all. He presented her with a gift that demonstrated he KNEW who she was and what she loved. And the fact that he gave her the perfect gift FOR HER, demonstrates that he's been listening to her, knows who she is and is willing to fulfill her greatest wish. Not show off with something the rest of the world thinks he should get her. There is a special intimacy in this unique gift.
That's why it's my favorite scene.

#100womenwiki is a 12 hour ‘edit-a-thon’ taking place today (8 December) with the aim of adding more women to wikipedia. At present only around 17% of notable profiles on wikipedia are of women, and today is about encouraging people across the globe to consider whether there are women who should be included and are currently missing. I read about the initiative on the BBC website and decided to try submitting an article on Christina Keith, whose First World War memoir I edited and published as War Classics: the remarkable memoir of Scottish scholar Christina Keith on the Western Front. It was less complicated than I expected, and you can now read Christina’s wikipedia page here!
I was interested to come across the Reflections of Newcastle project, which seeks ‘to explore the intellectual, cultural and social life of Newcastle during the First World War, concentrating in and around the Lit & Phil.’ It has a lot of resonance with my researches into Christina Keith’s life immediately before she set off for France.
I visited the Lit & Phil building in Newcastle as part of my research for War Classics: the remarkable memoir of Scottish scholar Christina Keith on the Western Front. Christina’s first job was as Classics lecturer at Armstrong College, Newcastle, but as soon as she took up the post in 1914, war was declared. The College was requisitioned for use as a military hospital and the department decamped to the Lit & Phil building. Christina lived and worked in Newcastle all through the war years until 1918, when she set off for France to take part in the army’s education scheme under the direction of Sir Henry Hadow, who had been Principal of Armstrong College.
There’s more information about Reflections of Newcastle 1914-18 here.
The entrance stairway of the Lit & Phil, Newcastle
Yesterday I found this wonderful article about Christina from when she was 14 years old. It must have been published c1903, probably in the Caithness Courier or John o Groat Journal, although the clipping doesn’t give a source. I love the picture, from the days when it was too expensive to take a photograph for a short piece on schoolgirl prizes.
War Classics: the remarkable memoir of Scottish scholar Christina Keith on the Western Front is now available to purchase via The History Press, Amazon, Waterstones and other websites.
It tells the story of a young academic from Thurso who travelled to France towards the end of the First World War as a lecturer with the army’s education scheme. Christina was part of the generation which pioneered higher education for women, and which was most affected by the war. The two themes of education and war intertwine through the book.
Christina writes with warmth and affection of her encounters with the troops, while her account of travelling across devastated battlefields is both vivid and moving. The book also includes letters written by her brother, David Barrogill Keith, from the Front.


I wrote about my impressions of the fifth volume in this series here,
I enjoyed John Carnell's story selections enough that I was happy to expand my holdings. These volumes contain a number of authors I enjoyed in number five including R.W Mackelworth, John Baxter, and Joseph Green. They also contain two stories by Vincent King, an author I have been meaning to read.
Since a number of science fiction covers are based on the work of surrealist artists I thought I would mention a book we purchased today. Helen and I are interested in Surrealism and have a number of books on this topic. We love visiting museums and art galleries, and have visited the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice twice. This gallery has a wonder collection of Surrealist paintings and is one of my favourites. So we could not resist this book. It looks quite interesting and mentions some artists we are not familiar with. However women artists appear under represented. Leonora Carrington appears but seems to be mainly discussed due to her relationship with Max Ernst. Dorothea Tanning is briefly mentioned in the section on Surrealism in America. Kati Horna and Remedios Varo are not mentioned in the index. Given their significance in Surrealist art and their involvement in the Spanish Civil War this seemed to be a striking omission based on the stated topic of the book.

First things first: It's no secret that it is harder to sell novels than non-fiction self-help books. The author of a non-fiction work is more apt to have specific readers in mind along with a coherent message that will help them. The first-time novelist is more likely to be writing for the fun it, perhaps with the vague hope that readers to be identified later will find the book and send it shooting up the bestseller lists.
Here's the thing: You are more likely to be successful as a novelist if you start with someone—your core reader—in mind. At the very least, identify a genre and stay with it. Rookie authors have an unfortunate tendency to try to hit multiple genres, figuring I suppose that the more potential readers you can identify the more actual readers you will have. This does not work—not if the potential readers are confused about what you're doing—and they will be if you are trying to appeal to readers of thriller, romance, western, fantasy, and horror novels. Someday, when you are rich and famous from never-ending book royalties, you can try your hand at crossover fiction.
Two of my literary customers have had success, specifically by keeping their core readers in mind.
Cleon Ochsner, in the course of doing some family history work, obtained official Russian documents relating to the trial and execution of an ethnic German landowner in Ukraine during the Stalinist purges in 1938. His interest was piqued because the man had his own surname—he was probably the brother of one of Cleon's direct descendants. The documents became the basis for a novel called Kulak: Love and Death, a German-Russian Tragedy—Ukraine, 1938. The book has a natural audience: ethnic Germans with Ukrainian roots. It has has done well in English and is now in the process of being published in German.
Colette Holbrook Sheets, a descendant of a Mormon pioneer, had a similar story. She happened onto the detailed journal of Joseph Holbrook, including his trek from Nauvoo, Illinois, to the Mormon Zion in Utah. Sheets, a psychologist, used the medium of the novel to add flesh to the bones of the journal. Sheets died shortly after completing the draft of the manuscript, but her husband Robert saw the book through publication as Intrepid Faith: Joseph Holbrook's Trek to Zion. Robert Sheets is doing well selling the book to Joseph Holbrook's numerous descendants.
Both of these examples were what I would call "non-fiction novels," but the principle of identifying a narrow but coherent readership should work for fictional novels as well.—The Publishing Pro.


FAITH LUTHERAN CHURCH
Faith Lutheran Church had its humble beginnings in the meetings of the Board of Elders of Emmaus Lutheran Church in Denver, Colorado. The interest of Emmaus Lutheran Church in expanding God’s Kingdom led to a canvass of this neighborhood and a drive for funds at Emmaus Lutheran Church. About $10,000 was raised by Emmaus Lutheran Church members for this project.
Mr. Henry N. Johanns purchased the original property and put a great deal of time and effort into the newly forming congregation. Mr. Richard J. Fricke provided the house at 4760 Elm Court, which served as the first parsonage and Sunday School building.
The first church building was erected with money and labor provided by the members of Emmaus Lutheran Church; however, due to the war-time restrictions of World War II, problems were ample. On August 20, 1944, the church was dedicated with the Rev. E.J. Friedrich, Superintendent of Lutheran Sanatorium, Wheatridge, Colorado as the speaker. This service was attended by 538 people, and an offering of $1500 was received that day which enabled Faith Lutheran Church to start their ministry debt free. About thirty people of Emmaus transferred to the newly organized congregation. Emmaus also gave the new daughter congregation $1000 and loaned an additional $1000 which was repaid.
The first pastor of Faith Lutheran Church was the Rev. R.E. Schulz, who had been the Assistant Pastor at Emmaus Lutheran Church. When he accepted a Call to Salt Lake City in 1945, the Rev. Carl Mehl was called and installed. In 1952, Pastor Mehl accepted a position with our church’s radio station, KFUO in St. Louis, Missouri.
In the same year that Rev. Carl Mehl left our congregation, we were blessed by God to have the Rev. Warren H. Willie called and installed. During Pastor Willie’s time, the congregation saw great growth in membership, and due to this fact, additional buildings were needed. In 1950, the school wing consisting of two classrooms, library and basement were dedicated. In 1952, a parsonage on site was erected, and later burned to the ground. As time went on, the irrigation canal on the property was disbanded, and the land was deeded to the congregation by the United States government, since the canal had been previously designated as US property during the Civil War. With the deed now in place, the canal was tilled and covered.
In 1956, the present church building which sits adjacent to the old chapel was dedicated. The current sanctuary will seat 430 people, and with slight modification can be enlarged to seat an additional 100. When the building was erected in 1956, the cost of construction was $103,000 without furnishings. The furnishings, including a 4 rank Wicks pipe organ cost the congregation $11,000. In 1976, the organ saw an additional rank of pipes added bringing the total ranks to five.
Pastor Willie retired from the active ministry in 1974. Since then the Pastors of this congregation are as follows:
Rev. Wayne Brockman (1973-79), Rev. Gerald Werth (1979-1985), Rev. Thomas Kent (1985-1989), Rev. Bill Meyer (1990-1996), Kurt Van Fossan (1997-2005), Bruce Hein (2003-2005), Jeffrey Williams (2006-2008), Terry Neustel II (2009-current)
Through all the years God has blessed our congregation richly through its many members, teachers in our day school, and Pastors that He has sent us.


Dear Parents and Carers,
This evening your child has been sent home with a reading book to read and enjoy at home. The book has been chosen by the child’s class teacher and is appropriate for their current reading level.
We expect that as part of their homework children will read some of their book outside school at least three times per week. For younger children, or those who find reading challenging, a few pages at a time may be all they can manage without becoming bored, which is fine. However, confident readers may choose to read more. The most important thing is that they get into the habit of reading outside of school at whatever level is manageable for them.
We are also providing a reading record which will be used to track your child’s progress. We hope that this will make communication between home and school easier and better. When the child receives a new book the teacher will fill in the name of the book and the date it was issued. We would really appreciate it if you would fill in the comments box whenever you (or anyone else) listen to your child read. This will help us to monitor their progress and their reading habits and will allow you to tell us what your child is doing well and what they are struggling on.
Obviously older or more confident readers may have reached the stage where they no longer wish to read to an adult and want to read silently to themselves. This is fine, and at this stage we expect that the children themselves will complete their reading records, perhaps by simply recording a comment such as ‘read to page 9’. However, we would ask that if they do so, you initial the comment so that we can check that their comments are an accurate reflection of their progress and reading habits.
Children may also bring home a library book which they have chosen themselves, and will therefore not necessarily be matched to their current reading level but will play an important part in helping them to develop a love of books. As the reading of this book is voluntary, no records need to be kept, unless of course, they want to!
We really do value the partnership between parents and school and hope that you’ll see this as another way that you can help us to help your child.
If you have any questions about helping your child with their reading or anything else contained in this letter, please talk to your child’s class teacher and they will do their very best to accommodate you.
Miss Joyce, Deputy Head.

Nike is everywhere these days. The brand and the products are always within our line of sight. We see the “Swoosh” on basketball shoes, shirts, running shorts, college football uniforms, golf and tennis apparel, fashion apparel as well as athlete and team sponsorships. This list goes on and on. Nike has become one of the world’s most admired and recognizable brands while racking up over $30 billion in annual revenue. But Knight, the man behind the swoosh, has always been a mystery. In Shoe Dog, he tells his story at last.
Shoe Dog is story of Phil Knights journey into the creation of Nike, starting in the 1960’s with track shoes. Armed with an accounting degree and yearning for travel, he borrowed $50 from his dad and began developing his dream.
This is the story of a struggling entrepreneur. Undercapitalized, with bankers that did not buy into his dream, he builds a team of loyal, energetic believers who are constantly inching the company forward. In one chapter it details a long hard year where the company doubled its sales while struggling to set up an international supply chain and figure out how to finance the inventory. The company’s revenues had doubled to $5MM, a far cry from the $30B today. In the book, Phil recalls the relationships that formed the heart and soul of Nike, with his former track coach, the irascible and charismatic Bill Bowerman, and with his first employees, a ragtag group of misfits and savants who quickly became a band of swoosh-crazed brothers. Together, harnessing the electrifying power of a bold vision and a shared belief in the transformative power of sports, they created a brand—and a culture—that changed everything.
The book is a fast paced, fascinating and entertaining read, filled with stories of entrepreneurial dreams, risk, hard ship, failure and determination. In this story, I see the story of many of Texas Security Bank’s clients as they work so hard to build success out of their dreams.

The New York Public Library has released over 180,000 images in the public domain on their Digital Collections website. The images are digitized and available in high resolution to the public for free downloads and reuse without any restrictions.
The images include historic maps, botanical illustrations, unique manuscripts, photographs, ancient religious texts, and a lot more. These images are either out-of-copyright or have been previously available in the public domain in lower resolutions. Previously, it was required for users to pay for the administration fees and undergo other processes.
The collections include over 20,000 maps and atlases documenting the New York City, North America and the rest of the world. It also has more than 40,000 stereoscopic views documenting all regions of the United States. NYPL Labs also provides a visualization tool to explore images by century, genre, collection or color.
“These changes are intended to facilitate sharing, research and reuse by scholars, artists, educators, technologists, publishers, and Internet users of all kinds. All subsequently digitized public domain collections will be made available in the same way, joining a growing repository of open materials.” the library said in a statement.
NYPL Labs have also released a few more tools to explore the collections in a fun way. Firstly, a ‘mansion builder‘ game to explore floor plans of the 20th century New York City apartments. Secondly, a ‘then-and-now‘ comparison collection of the 1911 wide angle pictures of New York’s Fifth Avenue with Google Street View images taken in 2015. There is also a trip planner called ‘The Green Book‘ from the mid-20th century listing hotels, restaurant, bars and other destinations where Black travelers would be welcomed.
The digitized collections are also available on GitHub as machine-readable data in CSV and JSON formats.

Gagliano, a Florentine contemporary of Monteverdi and Gesualdo, published six books of madrigals in all. He is also known as one of the earliest opera composers along with Monteverdi. Gagliano has been largely neglected (there are very few recordings), and when he does get mentioned he tends to be labeled as conventional. We beg to differ. Please listen to our testimony and judge for yourselves. Complete madrigals in the First Book of Five Voice Madrigals are posted here.

The Miracles of Life:
The reproductive system is like nature’s masterpiece, responsible for the continuation of human life. Delving into its complexities unveils the remarkable processes that bring forth new generations.
Male Reproductive System: Life-Bearers:
The male reproductive system consists of testes, which produce sperm, and the penis, which delivers sperm to the female reproductive tract.
Sperm Production: The Story of Spermatogenesis:
Spermatogenesis, the process of sperm production, occurs within the seminiferous tubules of the testes. Sperm mature and gain motility in the epididymis.
Female Reproductive System: The Sanctuaries of Life:
The female reproductive system comprises ovaries, which produce eggs, and the uterus, where a fertilized egg implants and develops into a fetus.
Egg Production: The Journey of Oogenesis:
Oogenesis, the process of egg production, begins during fetal development and continues throughout a woman’s reproductive years.
Fertilization: The Fusion of Life:
Fertilization occurs when a sperm meets an egg in the fallopian tube. This union forms a zygote, which begins the process of embryonic development.
Menstrual Cycle: The Dance of Hormones:
The menstrual cycle involves the controlled release of hormones, leading to egg maturation, ovulation, and either pregnancy or menstruation.
Pregnancy and Childbirth: The Journey of Creation:
During pregnancy, a fertilized egg implants in the uterine lining and develops into a fetus. Childbirth involves labor, delivery, and the wondrous emergence of new life.
Hormones: The Conductors of Reproduction:
Hormones like testosterone and estrogen regulate reproductive processes, influencing puberty, fertility, and secondary sexual characteristics.
Contraception and Family Planning: Informed Choices:
Understanding the reproductive system empowers individuals to make informed decisions about contraception and family planning.
Reproductive Health and Well-Being: Nurturing Life:
A healthy lifestyle, regular medical check-ups, and responsible sexual practices contribute to reproductive well-being.
Reproductive Disorders and Care: Knowledge is Power:
Awareness of conditions like infertility, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and reproductive cancers enables early detection and appropriate treatment.
The reproductive system is a testament to the wonder of creation. By delving into the intricacies of male and female reproductive development and function, we gain profound insight into the processes that perpetuate life. As we explore the journey from sperm and egg production to pregnancy and childbirth, we recognize the transformative power of reproduction and its central role in shaping the human experience.


Russell Athletic Archive focuses on specific eras in the brands rich history between the 1930’s and 1960’s, specifically 1940’s car clubs and 1960’s college campus life. From the dry lake hot rod races of the 1940's there developed a proliferation of car clubs in southern californian during the late 40s and 50s. Clubs such as the dirtbags, the furys, the crank busters, the deadbeats and the falcons sprang up. Members of the clubs paid their dues and received a membership card and often a club t shirt and jacket. The club names and logos were printed onto blank t shirts supplied by Russell or one of the other main sportswear manufacturers. These iconic club names and graphics made the t shirt into an aspirational ‘cool’ garment to wear day to day, not just as underwear. You can now buy Russell Athletic Archive will be available soon at The Chimp Store.

My client (and dear friend, I might add) had just sold her big, comforting home in New England. It was a place where she had been a happy wife and raised two beautiful daughters, now grown and adulting on their own. It was a home where, like so many of us, she had amassed an assortment of beautiful furnishings, china, books, fine art and incredible handmade rugs from the Middle East. A place where she had thrown countless birthday parties, dinners and celebrations; a home full of collections and memories and stories from a life well lived. Desiring to be more centrally located to both of her girls, she found herself downsizing and purchased a sparkling new, two story townhouse in Franklin, TN. She also found herself wondering how she would incorporate her cherished belongings from her previous home and life with the new furnishings, colors and interior aesthetic that she wanted to incorporate as a fresh new perspective on this new chapter of life. This is how we achieved just that and helped her fall in love with her surroundings all over again…
We situated a new formal dining table and chairs and an oak buffet console from her previous home at the forefront of the house for two reasons. They play double duty as reception/foyer space, as well as dining space, setting the tone for the home’s relaxed yet glamorous interiors. It’s a striking moment and highlights the homeowners love for beautiful art and objects. The sleek marble and metal table is the perfect transition between old and new, creating an updated classic style. The blue feature wall creates a stunning backdrop to the artwork and the soft brass metals add subtle sparkle to every vignette.
The living and kitchen areas are relaxed and warm and are accentuated by an unexpected trellis wallpaper in the kitchen, elevating the space to new heights! The gold leaf cage pendant lights are whimsical and elegant.
The library is the homeowner’s favorite room in the house, as it incorporates some of her late husband’s most cherished books, artifacts and memorabilia. It’s deep and luscious and the perfect balance of masculine and feminine, bright and moody, leather and velvet. It’s also home to her precious china and stemware collection housed in a stunning cabinet, something she really hoped she’d be able to keep! It works perfectly here between the dark bookcasing and creates a striking contrast and focal point. All furnishings were brought from her previous residence and were either reupholstered or refreshed with pillows. Win win and win some more!
The Peacock Powder Room…Vibrant, Alive and Happy!!!!
The Guest Room is one of three bedrooms in the home and this one is “stay in bed all day” swoon worthy…!!!
Let’s Venture Upstairs to the Primary Suite…
The home incorporates a variety of blue, green and grey shades throughout its interiors, allowing the homeowner to feel the energy and excitement from the use of color but also relaxed and calmed by their soothing, watery hues.
I’m so grateful that my friend enlisted my help in this beautiful place and that she has found a new sense of home in her fresh surroundings. Thank you, Allison, for allowing me to be a part of this wonderful process!!!! Thank you to her daughter, Ashley, for being our muse and design collaborator and speaking life, ideas, organization and sweat equity into this project.

Michael Stern has said that he would like to be remembered as a great storyteller. “I’ve been telling stories since childhood. I still love a good story, no matter the source.” Since he began writing as a career later in life, he has learned how difficult good writing can be, and strives to improve his grasp of the nuance of powerful storytelling. “Many good writers ply their trade, but few are great. Many good writers are financially successful because they write stories that captivate an audience at the right time. Great writers transcend time, at least in part because they speak to the human condition regardless of time or location. They create memorable characters, thrust them into conflicts internal and external, and take the reader to emotional attachment found only in a well-structured story.”Mr. Stern began his writing career at the confluence of tragedy and opportunity. The death of his father led to his first book, “Reflections on a Generous Generation.” Initially intended as an anecdotal remembrance for his family and friends, his research expanded his appreciation of the lives of not just his father, but of a generation that changed the world, and left a blueprint for future generations to follow. After his award-winning first book, his focus turned to learning how to write fiction. “I thought that meeting people from the past, and learning from them firsthand would be a fascinating experience. Alas, as they say, once you’re dead, you’re dead. I’ve been a history buff my entire life, and one figure stood out for me—Robert E. Lee.” His interest in the American Civil War has been life long, so a time travel story seemed a reasonable next step. His Quantum Touch series begins with “Storm Portal,” a best-selling and award-winning story of a high school history teacher whose classroom door opens a portal in space-time. Not only does it open to the past, but becomes a passageway through the present, a kind of “Beam me up, Scotty” moment.“As a student of history, I am a follower of current events, and being able to move from event to event by stepping across a threshold grabbed hold from the start. My protagonist, Fritz Russell, is the history teacher who accidentally meets the President of the United States by barging into the Oval Office through the portal. Thus begins the relationship that continues through the series. In addition to the president, the cast of characters represent everyday people who are thrust into roles requiring courage and thoughtfulness, as well as a willingness to step beyond personal safety and security in the betterment of the world.” Quantum Touch is an adventure, wrapped in political suspense and mystery, with a science fiction underpinning. Mr. Stern lives in New Jersey outside Philadelphia with his wife, Linda, who is also an author. A graduate of Cornell University, he has pursued writing as a “perfect ending to a successful career.”email@example.com

Like all good Celts, the Irish take their ghosts seriously. W. B. Yeats, in his book Fairy and Folk Tales of the Irish Peasantry, relates how Irish women, before throwing their dirty water into the street, would yell out a warning that was the equivalent of “watch out for water!” This served as more than a curtesy to human passersby. The warning was given to protect the woman’s household from the wrath of any spirit who might accidentally get splashed. Irish folk tradition, medicine, and lore are jam-packed with stories and protections against the restless dead. Even today, it’s hard to walk about in Ireland without stumbling into a place with a haunted past. Tales from one county alone could fill books—and the Republic of Ireland has 32 counties (and the North has six more)! Here’s a small sampling of some Irish spirits.
The White Lady at Ardgillan Castle
Ardgillan Castle in Dublin is haunted by The White Lady, who is known also as The Lady of the Stairs. She is believed to be Louise August Connolly, Baroness of Langford, and her story is tragic. She and her husband, Clotworthy Rowley, Lord Langford, were visiting the castle in November of 1853. One morning, while her husband was out grouse shooting, Lady Langford decided to go for a swim. The day was gray and blustery and the sea was rough. Her servant, Charlotte, tried to dissuade her from going. Lady Langford was an excellent swimmer, though, and ignored the warning. During her swim, the waves became so high, that Louise could not navigate them. Finally, she drowned. She was only 34 and left behind not only her husband but four children. The eldest child was six and the youngest was only a year old.
Her ghost has been seen many times by castle guests. She appears, dressed in a white gown, on The Lady Stairs, a staircase which leads out to the beach. Guests report that she is going up the stairs, trying to return to the castle.
A year after Lady Langford's drowning, her husband died as well, leaving their children orphaned.
The Ghost of Queen’s County
A certain squire of Queen’s County not only led an immoral life, but he made the lives of those around him a misery. His death did not improve the situation. In fact, it made things worse! Every night, his ghost made horrible noises, threw dishes, turned over furniture, rattled keys, and made all kinds of mischief. In the morning, though, there would be no evidence of his nocturnal rampages.
After too many sleepless nights, the family had enough and moved to another manor. They left a few servants—the steward, the coachman, and some others--to tend the place. The master continued to trouble them, especially the coachman. The poor man couldn’t get any sleep, not even a daytime nap as the master would pull the chair out from under him. The malicious ghost even pinched the man black and blue.
In addition to making a ruckus at night, the squire sometimes would appear to an individual in the form of a viscous black dog, a boar, or a bull.
A while after the squire’s death, the neighboring families took it into their heads to throw a ball at the manor. They obtained permission from the family and assembled for the festivities. There was abundant music and refreshments. The guests were having a great time when, suddenly, the master's ghost appeared to Mrs. FitzPatrick's aunt. The poor woman screamed and fainted. This put an immediate stop to the party. When the aunt came to and told of the master's hideous appearance, the guests rapidly returned to their homes. Never again was a ball held at that manor.
The Ghost of Graigue
A woman renowned for her charity and good works died. So beloved was she that many masses and prayers were said for her and all agreed that her death was a great loss for the town.
One night, a servant girl, a favorite of her late mistress, was dozing by the fire when she felt her foot stamped on. Assuming the family dog to be the culprit, she muttered, “Ah! You’ve no manners!” But on opening her eyes, she found herself alone in the room. The dog was nowhere in sight.
Suddenly, her late mistress appeared and told the servant that all the talk of her kindness and good deeds was causing her soul great torment. She confessed that most of her supposedly charitable acts had been performed out of a selfish desire to be thought of highly. She had done only one small act out of genuine charity. People’s continued grief over her death and their talk of what a great woman she had been was prolonging her soul's agony in purgatory. She instructed the servant to tell her husband and children the truth and to stop praising her.
The next day, the servant suffered tremendous internal torment, conflicted about whether or not to tell the master. She decided to keep silent but the ghost returned again that night—and then again the next, promising to haunt the servant unless the girl told the family to cease their praise. Finally, the servant told the master and she never saw the mistress’ ghost again.
County Offaly is considered the most haunted county in Ireland. In fact, three castles in Offaly form the points of what’s called “The Haunted Triangle.” Of the three, Leap Castle is said to be Ireland’s most haunted place. The www.visitoffaly.ie website downplays the castle’s reputation, saying that there is one ghost, a woman, who does appear to people, but that she seems to calm rather than scare them. Other sources—websites and television shows about the paranormal—tell a different story and claim that Leap has a sinister reputation. Considering all the treachery and bloodshed in its history, that claim seems credible.
There is debate about whether the castle was built in the 12th or the 15th century. What's not in debate is that it was built on a site used by druids for sacred rituals. The O’Bannon clan built the place. Before construction was completed, however, their chieftain died without naming a successor. Two brothers battled to become the new chieftain. Ultimately, they decided to resolve the issue by both jumping from a high rock at the construction site. Whoever survived the jump would become the chieftain and oversee the castle’s completion.
Which brother won? It’s a moot point because the O’Bannons didn’t own Leap very long. Another, more powerful clan, the O’Carrolls, attacked and slaughtered the O’Bannons, then took possession of the castle.
Unfortunately, the O'Carroll chieftain also died without naming a successor. His two sons, like the O'Bannon brothers, feuded for the position. Teighe O'Carroll murdered his brother, Thaddeus, in what now is called "The Bloody Chapel." His ghost reportedly haunts the chapel and a nearby stairwell.
But the murder and treachery didn’t end there. Members of the McMahon family had helped the O'Carrolls defeat a rival clan. In an apparent display of gratitude, the O'Carrolls invited the McMahons to a feast. Then poisoned them. Their ghosts, too, are said to linger at the castle.
The castle's most infamous ghost is the Red Lady, so called because she appears in a red gown. She also appears with a dagger in her hands.
She is believed to be a young woman who was imprisoned by the O'Carrolls and repeatedly raped. She became pregnant and, after she gave birth, the O’Carrolls slaughtered her baby. The lady, overcome with grief, killed herself with a knife.
There are numerous other spirits reputed to haunt Leap Castle but perhaps none is as terrifying as the one known simply as "The Elemental."
Mildred Darby, an ancestor of one of Leap’s other spirits known as "The Wild Captain," used to hold séances in the castle. She claimed to have seen the Elemental and described it as gaunt, shadowy, and smelling of rotting corpse. Some people believe the druids put the Elemental in charge of guarding the place on which the castle is built.
Currently, Leap Castle is owned by Sean Ryan and his wife who have experienced strange noises, appearances, and freak accidents believed to be caused by the ghosts. Mr. Ryan, however, says he feels the spirits have as much right to inhabit the castles as he does.
Not all ghost stories are scary or tragic. A story from Dublin tells of a young woman who got lost and died while trying to make her way home in a snowstorm. According to the lore, she now appears at night in the form of lilac balls of light and guides the lost safely home.

Priorities in Research
The German Rectors' Conference (HRK) publishes a bilingual Research Map (Forschungslandkarte) that details the key research priorities of higher education institutions. The Research Map allows you to search for the research areas that are of strategic institutional importance for each institution. The research areas can be searched by subject area and by region.
The HRK's Research Map presents the key research priorities of German higher education institutions in layman's terms and in a standardised format. Although individually responsible for the information they provide, the various institutions jointly make use of the content based Research Map to present information about the research priorities that define their institutional profiles.
The key research priorities complement the broad range of research conducted in the respective higher education institution, in conjunction with teaching and learning. The key research priorities generally are of an interdisciplinary character and address major challenges facing society.
The institutions combine the Research Map with an invitation to contact them in order to make use of their expertise and to explore possibilities for collaboration.
The HRK employs the Research Map as an instrument to support the marketing and internationalisation strategies of its members. The Research Map is also a welcome addition to the information provided in the Funding Atlas (Förderatlas) published by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG).
The HRK's Research Map • covers all disciplines • does not imply any rankings or ratings • is neutral with regard to sources of funding • contains links to the institutions' websites • is based on information from the institutions themselves • is continually updated • is available in English and German (with the possibility of toggling between them).
For each research priority, the following information is entered: • name of research area• short description (300 characters max.) • content classification under 14 subject areas covering all disciplines • technical / academic key terms.
The map search offers four search options: by region, by any combination of the 14 subject areas, by thematic key term and by general keyword.
The advanced search is performed by entering a sequence of characters in the search dialogue.


Weiser is releasing a fairly neat little book on March 1st. The book gives a nice general overview of major figures and movements in the world’s religions and mystery traditions. The author clearly has a taste for Thelema. In his bio you sense a trace of it.
Daniel Pineda is a martial artist, practitioner of the Mystery Tradition, and a devotee of liberty. He holds Black Belts in and teaches various Eastern and Western martial disciplines, as well as Qigong. He lives in south Florida with his wife Julia. This is his first book.
The way he treats the OTO, AA, John Dee, Golden Dawn, and a few other segments also give this impression. I find this flavoring of Thelema tasty and have enjoyed decompressing and flipping through this book which was writing in the format of the other recent ‘field guide titles’.
This book would be a good gift to a person who is fresh to the occult world, and poking his head in various portals, or for the person who needs to have every book on the occult ever published. For me, only lacks citations, and depth in a few sections. I would not recommend this as a book to cite for your college or high school papers, but based on my research just about everything written about is historically accurate. I love the field guide series, and also suggest those as accessible fun books for kids and new comers.
