Christmas Countdown Book Day 18: Sermon on the Mount
1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:
2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,
3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.
10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.
12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
13 ¶ Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

She goes to two different therapists, visits psychics and even follows a griot, a storyteller who travels the city sharing stories about famous New York City dwellers, to try and find her way to a new life. Then she meets Jack Huxley, the notoriously heterosexual movie star whom every woman wants, and has some sort of relationship with him. Throughout the novel, Claire shares the rules she is learning about sex and dating for widows, like.

Upon his death, he left Claire with some, shall we say, sensitive issues. There’s the affair he was having, the book he was writing, and the life apart from Claire that he was actively living.

When Charlie is killed one day, in an absurd sidewalk collision with a falling sculpture a Giacometti, no less! She misses Charlie. She needs to reinvent herself. As unseemly as it may be to admit it, she longs to lose her “widow’s virginity. Over the course of a year, Claire eats too little and drinks too much. She sees first-and second-opinion shrinks, the Village griot, a psychic, and a “botanomanist.
And, as Claire moves on from Charlie and searches for herself, she comes to realize she’s been given a second chance to live the meaningful and passionate life that passed her by once before. Listeners of Carole Radziwill’s debut memoir, the lauded and New York Times bestselling What Remains , know well that she has a particular talent for writing about friendship, loss, and love. And listeners of The Widow’s Guide to Sex and Dating will discover that those gifts extend delightfully and tenderly to the literary screwball comedy.
In spinning Claire’s story, Radziwill limns a world where glamorous movie stars fall for brainy working girls and where true friends must be leaned on until true love arrives, and she reports back with a novel that is as romantic as it is funny and wise.
This book explains a great deal about how special writing is to her and how she reveres writers and the product. Although I agreed with her basic position regarding this whole dating on the show, this book just reinforced for me, how she feels. Reading this book is a completely different experience than reading “What Remains”, as it should be. I recommend it. I like the way Carole remains and I enjoyed her first attempt at fiction.
It is my show that she continues to write dating because I’m really looking forward to reading her next book.

Die Schwarzen Berge Der Rhön
Im sonnigen Franken auf Bergeshöhn,
wo Eichen und Buchen still rauschend stehn,
da kannst du, wenn leise die winde wehn,
manch prächtiges Märchen erlauschen so schön.
Einst zogst du hinaus, dir die Welt zu besehn,
nun hast du empfunden: Heimat ist schön.
Du findest nicht Rast und du findest nicht Ruh,
die Schwarzen Berge, die rufen dir zu.
Die "Kuppe von Platz" und auch der "Tote Mann",
die "Feuerbergmatten" sagen dir dann:
Kehr heim aus der Fremde, du Rhöner Sohn,
die "Schwarzen Berge" erwarten dich schon.
Und was du erträumst hier als echt Rhöner Kind,
bei Sonne und Regen, stürmischer Wind.
Das geht dir zu Herzen, das prägt sich dir ein:
Es ist doch so schön hier zu Hause zu sein!
- The Black Hills of the Rhön, by Ewald Voll, a gift from the Edelmanns of Stangenroth to John and Ute Edelmann, on the occasion of their wedding, November 20, 1993.
The Edelmanns of Bavaria
World-wide, Edelmann is a relatively common name. In German, the word means "nobleman", though the degree of nobility conveyed is not as great as in the name Adelmann, and its derivatives. Given the many levels of nobility in feudal Europe, the term Edelmann would have been positioned somewhere near the bottom.
We begin with a discussion of the ancestors of Paul Frederick Edelmann .
Pauls ancestors have been in the United States since 1889. In December of that year, Bruno Edelmann, Pauls grandfather, emigrated with an unknown friend from the area of Stangenroth, Germany. Port of entry is unknown.
Stangenroth of the Röhn
Stangenroth is a small village in the south of the Rhön, an area of northern Bavaria known as Franconia, and settled in 1242 AD. The area is primarily Catholic. In 1992, the village celebrated its 750th Jubilee. Stangenroth is situated in a cluster of villages which include Zahlbach, Burkadroth, Wollbach, and Gefäll, all approximately 5 km north of Bad Kissingen. Bad Kissingen is near Würzburg. Anton Reinhard, author of a history of the area, indicates the presence of Edelmanns in Zahlbach in the 1700s.
The following excerpt details the arrival of the first Christians in the area.
In the north of Bavaria, the country now known as Franconia, the Gospel was first preaced by St. Kilian. With two companions, Coloman, a priest, and Totnan, a deacon, Kilian left Ireland, his native country, in 686, and, with sanction of Pope Conon, established a mission at Würzburg. Duke Gozbert received him kindly and was converted, and his example was followed by a great number of his subjects. But St. Kilian fell a victim to the hatred of Geilana, whose marriage with Gozbert, brother of her former husband, he declared to be contrary to the law of God. He and his companions, in the absence of the duke, were cruelly murdered, A.D. 689.
On the Kreuzberg (a famous mountain in the region), there is a monument to the honor of St. Kilian. It is adjacent to a former monastery on the site, which today is renowned for its brewery and seasonal tourism.
Bruno was born on August 24, 1866, one of perhaps seven children of Johann Edelmann and Maria Anna Zehe, both from Stangenroth. Johann Edelmann was a son of Michael Edelmann (from Stangenroth) and Eva Kleinhenz (from nearby Zahlbach). This Michael was the son of another Michael Edelmann and his wife, Anna Marie Schlereth. Marriage records obtained from the Catholic church in Stangenroth, place the birth of Michael and Eva to be 1789 and 1792, respectively. The majority of these Edelmann families were farmers.
All knowledge of Stangenroth and the present day contacts in Germany surfaced as the result of a fortuitous effort on the part of Paul Fred Edelmann. During the summer of 1976, Fred contacted Martha Jane and Jene Glockner, two descendants of his aunt, Theresa (Edelmann) Nickel for information regarding Bruno. On July 22, they sent him a copy of a letter (reproduced in Appendix B - Edelmann Historical Records) which was sent from Benedikt Wehner to Theresa on May 26, 1926. Benedikt was a son of Barbara Edelmann and Josef Wehner of Burkadroth, Germany . He died in 1966. One of his children, Hermann, emigrated to the United States, and lives in Cleveland, Ohio.
Fred subsequently sent a letter on November 18, 1976, to both the town hall and the Catholic church of Burkadroth. A German speaking colleague translated his English letter into German. [The German memo is in Appendix B - Edelmann Historical Records.] Without much delay, several letters arrived from Edelmanns and Wehners all over the area. On November 24th, Rev. Anton Reinhard of the Catholic parish in Burkadroth, sent a letter in which was mentioned Brunos birth date, and the names of his parents. Also, on December 27, 1976, Fr. Grätz of Stangenroth sent a detailed (though partially inaccurate) letter of the ancestors of Bruno Edelmann.
While occasional correspondence continued throughout the ensuing years, in May, 1986, two sons of Fred Edelmann, Thomas Anthony and John Frederick, visited with the Edelmann families in Stangenroth. This marked the first time any of Brunos descendants returned to their country of origin.
In May, 1993, John Frederick and his soon-to-be wife, Ute Herfurth visited Stangenroth again. As a native of Germany, Ute provided invaluable assistance in translating details of the visit, and as a result considerably more genealogical research was completed. Many Edelmanns related in some fashion to Bruno were met and their family histories collected.
In April, 1994, John, Ute, and his parents, Paul Fred and Martha Edelmann traveled to Germany, and another generation returned to the "homeland".
Michael (the only known son of Michael and Anna Marie) and Eva Kleinhenz had at least 2 children, namely, Johann and Erhard. Erhard was the elder son, and he and his immediate descendants moved to Mitgenfeld, also near Stangenroth. One of his descendants, Horst Edelmann, resides near Wiesbaden, Germany, in the town of Naurod. (Note: for a complete descendant list, refer to Appendix A - Descendant Outlines.) The connection between Bruno and Erhard was made when Horst related his late father mentioning a cousin who emigrated to America. That cousin was Bruno.
The house in which Bruno was born was built in 1742. It was torn down and replaced by his oldest brother, Johann, in 1909. A granddaughter of Johann, Theresia Schmidt, presently lives in the house with her husband, Albin.
At the direction of the NAZI regime in Germany of the 1930s, it was required that all Germans verify Arian ancestry through three generations. These records included religious affiliations as well, and were prepared by official offices within the NAZI government. In two instances, such Ahnen-Tafel, as they were called, have provided very valuable information for the Edelmann line. Horsts father, Karl, had such a family tree prepared. Careful inspection of these records revealed that Horsts great-grandfather was a brother of Johann Edelmann , Brunos father. This connection resulted in our obtaining the birth and death information for Brunos great-grandparents, Michael and Anna Marie. An additional Ahnen-Tafel was found for Dr. Robert Wehner, grandson of Barbara Edelmann, sister of Bruno.
Bruno Edelmann the Emigrant
In the late 1800s, military conscription was a fact of life, and many citizens of European countries fled this fate. While it is likely that Bruno shared these sentiments, there is another tale surrounding his departure that is frequently told in Stangenroth.
It has been said that Bruno and a few of his friends were up late one evening, drinking and making merry. Apparently, Bruno and the others were responsible for cutting the tops of several trees in the out lying areas of Stangenroth, while thus intoxicated. Since the main industry in the area relied heavily on goods made of wood, the wayward boys decided to leave the village, seeking their fortune elsewhere.
As to the exact nature of the departure, another tale is told. On a Sunday morning, when everyone was expected to be at church, Bruno instead left, and was never seen again. It was further alleged that Bruno acquired the money for passage to the United States by selling some livestock to the Jewish neighbors in a nearby town. Unfortunately, Bruno did not own the livestock he sold, and the Edelmann family remaining in Stangenroth had to make restitution to the Jewish farmers on Brunos behalf. Part of this story relates that the day of departure was December 8, 1889. This is somewhat more credible, since December 8th was indeed a Sunday.
Thus did Bruno leave, and while the validity of some of these tales is suspect, it was widely agreed that Brunos departure was very sudden, taking his family quite by surprise.
Bruno in Circleville, Ohio
Bruno probably arrived in the United States in 1890. His port of entry is unknown. Shortly after his arrival, he settled in Circleville, Ohio, where he found employment as a day laborer on an extensive farming operation in the area.
Cletus Kent was a half brother of Paul Anthony Edelmann (son of Bruno). He and his wife, Thelma spoke at length on various family issues in the late 1970s (during the last years of Paul who died in March of 1978). They stated the following relating to Bruno and his wife Elisabeth Helfenbein .
According to Thelma, Bruno worked on a farm owned by a man named Smith. A grandson of this individual married one of Thelmas W.W.II nursing friends, namely, Helen Hibbon. Contact was made with Helens son, Daniel Smith, who presently resides in the former residence of his mother, in Circleville. He confirmed that his family owned many farms in Circleville at the turn of the century, but that the last was sold in the late 1960s.
Cletus went on to mention that Bruno met Elisabeth (Lillian) Helfenbein , his future wife in a rather colorful way. As the story goes, Bruno was sitting on a fence one afternoon, smoking a pipe with some friends. Lilly came along during a trip to Circleville, and seeing Bruno, threw an apple which struck the pipe, and knocking it out of his mouth.
Bruno the Catholic
On August 3, 1996, copies of church records were received from St. Marys Church, in Chillicothe, Ohio, which finally shed light on the marriage of Bruno and Lillie. According to these records, they were married at Chillicothe on January 27, 1896. Since Lillie was not Catholic at the time, the notation indicates a dispensation was required for a mixed marriage.
On October 11, 1896, their first child, Theresa Elizabeth, was born. At this time, the family was living in Circleville.
As a Catholic, Bruno was a member of St. Josephs Catholic Church in Circleville, Ohio. Though his wife was Lutheran by birth, she was brought into the Catholic Church and baptized on November 8, 1896 (the same day as her daughter). Sponsors for both were Edward Kirchner and Ruth Kessler. This fact alienated her from her father, Adam Helfenbein , who was a staunch Lutheran himself (see Helfenbein). According to later records from St. Josephs, Lilly was confirmed as Maria Lillian Edelmann, on June 6, 1901. Copies of these and other church records are in the appendices as previously noted.
The second child, Agnes Marie, was born on July 7, 1898, in Waverly, Ohio. An 1898 record from St. Marys in Chillicothe supports this date; in fact, the record states that Agnetem Mariam was baptized on August 25, 1896. Sponsors were Edward Kirchner and Maria E. Flanigan. Bruno and Lilly had moved to the area of Waverly, and stayed there until Bruno began to suffer from what was suspected to be stomach cancer. By 1900, they had returned to Circleville, since the Twelfth Census of the United States, taken in 1900, lists the Edelmann family in Circleville Township, Circleville, Ohio. As of June 22, Bruno, Lilly, Theresa, and Agnes resided in the 5th ward of the city, at 224 Town Street. On July 14, 1900, the third and final child, Paul Anthony was born.
Bruno, however, died on June 30, 1902 at the age of 35. According to a newspaper article from the Circleville Watchman, Bruno died of cancer of the stomach. As the result of a recent inquiry, Betty Dawley, a library volunteer with the Pickaway County Historical and Genealogical Library, discovered the newspaper article which contained the first record of the actual date of death, as well as a confirmation of the cause. This information had alluded all efforts to discover it until she succeeded in July, 1996. Curiously, Bruno is listed in the 1900 Census records at an age of 31, born in August 1868. However, both German Church records and the newspaper article mentioned previously concur with 1866 as the year of his birth.
The Kent Family
Lilly returned with her family home to Waverly, Ohio. She lived with her young children in a log house, until she later met and married John Kent . From this marriage, came two additional children, Edmund and Cletus Kent. Since Lilly had joined the Catholic faith with Bruno, John Kent subsequently became Catholic as well. The five children were therefore raised in the Catholic faith.
The Thirteenth Census of the United States (1910) lists John T. Kent, with wife Elizabeth M., two sons, Cletus W. and Edmund L., Johns father, William D. Kent, Sr., and brother, William D. Kent, Jr. Also listed as Johns step-children, were Theresa, Agnes, and Paul A. Edelmann. The family resided in Pee Pee Township, Pike County, Ohio. The record notes that John Kent was a railroad laborer, and owned his home free of any mortgage.
The oldest daughter, Theresa, married Donald Nickel, of Portsmouth, Ohio. Donald and Theresa had four children, namely, John Robert, Martha Jane, Jean, and Joann (Jean and Joann are twins). John Robert married Shirley Grace Turner and they had three children, Joseph Andre, John Thomas (adopted), and Donald Turner. John Thomas Nickel is married to Victoria Nelson. Martha Jane and Jean, were responsible for forwarding Benedikt Wehners letter to Paul Fred Edelmann in 1976. Theresa was 30 at the time of Benedikts correspondence. She presumably had knowledge of her cousins from Lilly. Whether or not Bruno corresponded with his family in Stangenroth is not known. Theresa died on March 11, 1966, of intestinal cancer.
Agnes Marie married Charles Hoffman, and lived in Waverly, Ohio. She died of lung cancer on April 30, 1960, at the age of 61.
Paul Anthony was a painter, living and working in Waverly, Ohio. He was also a member of the Waverly Volunteer Fire Department, having served in the capacity of chief on more than one occasion. On November 2, 1927, he married Alma Meryl Holobaugh , also of Waverly.
On June 28, 1935, Paul and Alma gave birth to their one child, Paul Frederick Edelmann, whom they called Fred. In November, 1973, Paul suffered a stroke, and within a few years, was living in a nursing home in Waverly. On Good Friday, March 24, 1978, he died.
Thus it was that for three generations (Bruno, Paul Anthony, and Paul Frederick), there was but one single heir to the Edelmann name. As was the apparent custom at the time, John Kent made no effort to adopt Paul and his sisters, Theresa and Agnes. Therefore, they retained the surname of their father, Edelmann.
Paul Frederick Edelmann
In 1957, Paul Frederick met Martha Rose Seidell , of Newark, Ohio, (See Seidel) and on August 30, 1958, they were married. After a brief stay in Waverly, Ohio, the couple moved to Gage, Ohio, where, on July 24, 1959, their first child, Barbara Ellen, was born. In 1960, they moved to a small community near Gallipolis called Centenary, on Route 141. Here, the next two children, Thomas Anthony and John Frederick were born on November 11, 1960, and July 1, 1962, respectively.
In 1965, the family built a two-story house on the same route, and the remainder of the children were born there. Michael Gerard was born September 29, 1965, Theresa Rose Geralyn, was born December 5, 1967, and David Charles, born March 20, 1970. It is a curious fact indeed that Fred and Martha repeated the names of Brunos grandfather (Michael) and three brothers and sisters (Barbara, Theresa, and John) in naming their own, well in advance of having made contact with their cousins in Germany.
On March 2, 1974, the family moved to a newly built tri-level on a 28 acre hill top in Green Township, Gallia Co., Ohio. This residence is also on Rt. 141.
Fred joined the Gallipolis Volunteer Fire Department shortly after his arrival to the area. Later, he would be singularly instrumental in getting legislation passed in the State house for special license plates to recognize Ohio's volunteer firemen.
In time, some of the Edelmann siblings remained in Gallipolis, while others relocated throughout Ohio. Those who eventually moved did so largely due to the fact that they attended the University of Dayton, in Dayton, Ohio. The following summarizes the present whereabouts and children of the Edelmann siblings.
Barbara Ellen married Allen Lewis White on May 10, 1980, and have six children, namely Allen Matthew, Ryan Michael, Sarah Marie, Anna Michelle, Emily Magdelena, and Alexander Marcel. They reside in Gallipolis, Ohio.
Thomas Anthony met Doris Ann Waldrop in Dayton, Ohio, and they were married on January 17, 1987. They presently reside in Fairborn, Ohio, with their two children, Kristina Maria and Thomas James.
John Frederick married Ute Erika Gertrud Herfurth, a native of Germany, on November 20, 1993, and they reside near Springboro, Ohio, with one child, Erika Paula.
Michael Gerard married Jennifer Ann Oney on May 19, 1990, and they reside with their five children, Stephanie Michelle, Andrea Marie, Frederick Michael, and twins Mikayla Rose and Kimberly Ann, in Gallipolis, Ohio.
Theresa Rose Geralyn married Robert Lee Northup on May 23, 1987, and they reside in Gallipolis, Ohio, with their three children, James Harlan, Zachary Paul, and Jessica Rose.
David Charles married Cheryl Anne Prenger on September 16, 1995, and reside in Troy, Ohio with their sons, Anthony Luke and Nathan Andrew.
As mentioned earlier, Fred, Martha, their son, John, and his wife, Ute, visited Germany in 1994. The visit to Stangenroth was especially memorable, since Fred met his second cousins for the first time.
Perhaps one of the more striking features of the Edelmann line (passed down at least from Bruno) is the obvious outward lay of the ears. This was very apparent from a portrait of Bruno, and early pictures of Paul Fred.
A further interesting anecdote was mentioned by Catherine Webb, daughter of Agnes and Charles Hoffman. She related how Lilly was an extremely strong-willed individual who was adamantly opposed to in-temperance of any sort. As such, she was a member of the Womens Christian Temperance Union (WCTU), and forbid smoking and the drinking of alcoholic beverages in her house.
Catherine also supports the belief that Bruno died of stomach cancer.
During our travels to Germany, we had often wondered how the merry attitudes of partying and drinking were distilled out of the family, since in Bavaria, such display of levity is quite ordinary. There is now good reason to believe that it was in fact the result of the severely temperate disposition of Lilly, who was largely responsible for raising Theresa, Agnes, and Paul.
In late 1994, Freds health declined due to what was originally thought to be a prostate problem. In February, 1995, he was diagnosed with colon cancer. After major surgery was performed in the same month, his condition worsened in spite of aggressive chemo-therapy. He was able to witness the marriage ceremony of David and Cheryl in September, 1995, but the following three weeks brought about a rapid decline. He died at his home on Columbus Day, October 9, 1995.
An English translation of the poem at the beginning of this section is provided below. Given Brunos hasty departure in 1889 from the land of his forefathers, the stanzas should have a special meaning to all of his descendants...
The Black Hills of the Röhn
High on the peaks of sunny Franconia,
Where the murmuring oak and beech stand,
There can be heard, when gentle winds blow,
Many fairy tales, beautiful and grand.
Though you left long ago, the wide world to
You now have remembered: your Homes true beauty.
You find no rest, and you find no peace,
While the Schwarzen Berge are calling.
The Kuppe von Platz and the Tote
The "Feuerbergmatten" all say to you then:
"Come back from afar, O son of the Röhn,
The Schwarzen Berge await your return."
And how you will dream, true child of the Röhn,
In sun and rain, and stormy wind.
What moves the heart, calls out to the soul:
Our Home is a great place to be!

Victim/Suspect chronicles journalist Rae de Leon’s investigation into a disturbing pattern: young women report sexual assault to the police and instead of the perpetrators being brought to justice, the women are arrested for filing a false report. Working for The Center for Investigative Reporting, de Leon’s exhaustive research uncovers a surprisingly larger number of these cases nationwide. In re-examining elements of the initial law enforcement investigations, de Leon unearths telling recordings of police interviews of victims reporting their sexual assault. Featuring firsthand accounts from numerous young women as well as interviews with police, investigators, and legal experts, Victim/Suspect raises crucial questions about how the criminal justice system views and treats sexual assault victims. Directed and produced by Nancy Schwartzman and Executive Produced by Motto Pictures and the Center for Investigative Reporting.

What is CDmax?
CDmax is an Audio CD player that runs on 32-bit Windows systems. With CDmax, you can listen to your favorite music while you work (or play) on your computer. It allows you to enter, edit, and display the Artist, Title, and Tracks of a CD. Also, CDmax allows you to tap into a growing library of CD information on the Internet called the freedb, for this data.
How does it work?
Audio CDs only contain the music itself and some numerical data about the number of tracks and their lengths. So information like Artist and Title have to be stored separately from the CD. CDmax gives you a place to store, edit and retrieve this data as needed.
CDmax saves the information about your collection in a directory on your hard drive and retrieves it when you load a CD in the player. CDmax stores Artist, CD title, Track titles and Notes about the CD and for each track.
Now you have a collection of CDs and you want the data to show up in your player, but you don't really like the idea of keying all that stuff in yourself. I know I didn't. The larger your collection, the larger the task. CDmax can help.
Using your connection to the Internet, CDmax can retrieve the data about your CD and store it in the CDmax library. You can do this yourself from the main panel with the press of one key or you can tell CDmax to retrieve the data automatically any time you put in a CD that has not previously been cataloged in the CDmax library.

What People Are Saying
“The book is aimed at readers just transitioning into more difficult books, while also teaching important social-emotional skills. Yee’s comic illustrations show exactly how characters are feeling and what is being described, and are perfectly in step with the text.”
—School Library Journal
“This banter-filled early reader describes the initial meeting between shy Tobin the pangolin, brash Bismark the sugar glider, and kindhearted Dawn the fox…the pared-down narration and dialogue quickly establish their personalities...Hecht successfully set the stage for more adventurous outings down the road.”
“Vivid illustrations pop off crisp white pages. Brief sentences in an oversize font, separated by plenty of white space, won’t overwhelm nascent readers. This successful endeavor manages to maintain the spirit of the original series while showing respect for new devotees."
“Especially and unreservedly recommended for family, elementary school, and community library collections.”
—Midwest Book Review
“The series addresses bullying and empathy in an easy, accessible way, and the books are meant to be read aloud.”
—New York Post
“Young readers will enjoy this spectacular story that is perfect for reading aloud in the classroom, library, or at home. The adorable artwork is engaging with a touch of silliness that is sure to bring a smile to the reader's face… Children can gain the concept of teamwork, the virtue of courage, and the love of reading just by flipping through the pages of this exciting book.”
—Children’s Book and Media Review
“A quirky, humorous book great for beginner readers, with fun illustrations…a great bonus at the end of the book is the fun facts about nocturnal animals.”

New media and social movements in Europe and the Middle East
The paper draws on the role of social media in protest movements emerged in 2011 in the Middle East and Europe. Various theoretical analyses in both macro- and micro- level assess these movements in terms of the determinant role of either the ‘agents’ or the ‘structures’. Both lenses have enabled an overall account of the movements along optimistic as well as pessimistic perspectives in regard to a social, political, or media (internet) revolution. The paper gives priority to the dialectical relationship between agents (subjects) and structures (objects), evaluating thus the nexus of media, movements, and societ(ies) along its contradictions. In this context, the paper probes into the social and political dynamics of the relevant uprisings; it critically evaluates the relation between grassroots action and online interaction; and, it assess the development of any strong forms of political practice and the production of a social imaginary along these protest movements.

As a child I was a Matilda Wormwood, always snuggled up on a chair with a book in my hands. From Harry Potter to The Babysitters club, searching through my grandmother's bookshelf to snuggle up with T.S.Elliot. Literature is a great way of loosing yourself finding a hide away from the world in the pages of a good book. At some point last year I realised my love for literature had been put on a shelf for a while i'd been so wrapped up in socialising, spending and working that i'd forgotten to sit and really enjoy some alone time with a new book. If you know me you know how much I adore the Game Of Thrones series I'd heard of the books but never actually sat down with one so I challenged myself to read instead. Seven days ago I completed the series, that's right. With every page, the unique character's point of view's within the chapters of the story had me gripped. I'd recommend any Game of Thrones fan to pick them up, get reading and explore the seven kingdoms.


There’s a lot of books about the Science of Reading. But which ones are the best for comprehension? Getting started? Small group? Today, I want to answer those questions. I’m sharing my favorite books for specific reasons. I know I have a lot more reading to do around the Science of Reading, but these ones have helped me along my journey.
(Click on any book image to purchase!)
Best Book for Comprehension: The Knowledge Gap by Natalie Wexler
When I say this book changed my understanding of comprehension, I mean it. I love this book so much I own it on Kindle, a physical copy, and the audiobook. I’ve read it multiple times and each time I love it just as much as I did before.
If you were like me, you were taught that in order to teach comprehension, we needed to teach skills. I remember reading Strategies That Work from cover to cover, and then reading the updated version. I thought that the keys to comprehension lay in teaching main idea and supporting details this week, summarizing next week, inferencing the following, and so on.
Natalie Wexler is on a mission to change that notion. While there is some research to support some strategy instruction, there is nothing to support this prolonged lock-step kind of strategy work. Main idea cut and paste tables just aren’t going to cut it (I’m guilty of this one). Instead, we need to teach content. Our focus with comprehension should be building background knowledge and vocabulary. We should teach text structures so children know what they are looking at and provide vocabulary instruction that can be used in multiple contexts. Wexler discusses how we should stay with a topic so that children can expand their understanding. I’ve seen the benefits of this in my own intervention groups.
If you want to learn about comprehension, get this book. I promise it’ll make you think about the way we’ve taught comprehension!
Best Book for Planning Small Groups: How to Plan Differentiated Reading Instruction by Sharon Walpole and Michael McKenna
This is the best book I have read that can help teachers to move away from guided reading and towards more targeted small groups. What makes this text even better is that their groups are designed to be 15 minutes or less, and you are not given ivory tower ideas that cannot realistically be completed.
With this book, teachers put their children into 1 of 4 groups: phonological awareness and word recognition, word recognition and fluency, fluency and comprehension, or vocabulary and comprehension. Each group includes only a couple of different activities. For example, if you have students in a group for word recognition and fluency, the tasks are to practice high-frequency words, segmenting and blending, practicing words, and reading decodable texts. We know teaching reading is rocket science, but Walpole and McKenna make it feel like the stars are within reach.
If you buy this book for nothing else, buy it for the resources. Oh. My. Gosh. This book is so full of ready-to-copy resources! I knew that it was a good book before reading it because it had been mentioned time and time again in the Science of Reading community. But I had no idea that they had literally planned out almost all your small groups for you! They have dozens of decodable texts! I really like their decodables because they start with just words with that pattern before giving you sentences or a paragraph to read. It’s the perfect length for a small group. It’s not just decodables though. The resources are too many to count.
Best Book for Understanding the Rules of English: Uncovering the Logic of English by Denise Eide
This is the book that had me screaming WHY DID NOBODY TEACH ME THIS again and again. I had always, like many others, laughed about the ludicrousness of the English language. I taught my kids they had to memorize things because “English made no sense.” I would give them trick words like “starve” that had an e on the end because I thought it was a good challenge. Now, thanks to Orton-Gillingham training and this book, I have a MUCH better understanding of how English does make sense and what I can do to support my students. And that we have an e on end of starve because words in English don’t end in i, u, j or v!
The majority of this book is devoted to helping educators understand the rules of English in a way that makes sense. She includes definitions of key terms such as vowels and consonants. There are chapters on spelling rules, consonant rules, vowel rules, the jobs of magic e, and so much more. If you find yourself wanting a book that can help you make sense of it all, this is the book to go to.
Book with the Best Voice that doesn’t back down: Reading for Life by Lyn Stone
The best thing about Reading for Life is undoubtedly the voice of the author. Lyn Stone does not back down from calling out ineffective practices. For example, when she discusses word shapes, she says “There is not one single study in the entire history of this planet which shows any benefit from doing this. It is mindless busy-work and it detracts from the real business of learning to read and write”(Stone, 2019, p.29). This kind of hilarious rhetoric is interspersed throughout the book, including in chapters that compare some of the huge balanced literacy programs to a cult. Yes, a cult. And honestly? By the end of the chapter you’ll see it too.
Lyn Stone isn’t just witty: she knows what she is talking about. In Reading for Life, she includes a timeline of the big players in the Reading Wars. I had never seen this kind of work done, and I found it fascinating to read. She starts with Richard Allington and ends with Maryann Wolf, with 14 pages of key players in-between.
I found Lyn Stone so refreshing because she doesn’t just rehash what we’ve seen a thousand times when it comes to structured literacy and the Science of Reading. Instead, she gives us things I’ve seen in no other book, like a review of legislation both in and outside of the United State. If you are fully invested in the Science of Reading, you need this book. If you are still on the fence, wait a while. She’s not making any friends within the balanced literacy community!
If you’re stuck on what books to read, you can’t go wrong with these 5. Each one of them has moved me forward as an educator. I think they can do the same for all of us. What about you? What has been your favorite Science of Reading book? (I’m currently reading The Writing Revolution, so that might have to make it on this list for writing!

ACADEMIC- Bodleian Library at Oxford University
Any serious academic knows the power of the name Oxford in the higher education community. Just the mere whisper of Oxford in association with a person or project elevates the research to a new level. It is no wonder then that the opportunity to tour the Bodleian Library at Oxford University is the ultimate reason some students decide to enter the British Studies program. To be able to study in the wake of some of the world’s greatest thinkers is not an opportunity that arises everyday.
The libraries did not disappoint. They look exactly as you hope they would. The tomes on the shelves date back centuries and are in languages as varied as the student body. The towers that store the books implement the best technology available in order to ensure that these precious manuscripts will be accessible to scholars for generations to come. Inside and out, the libraries appear as though they have not changed in centuries; but to the trained eye there is much going on behind the scenes in order to maintain the classic look of Oxford while doing the more important work of making sure that the information they house is ready when called upon.
The nature of our tour focused on the history of the area and the architecture of the buildings. Our tour guides were wonderful, and they certainly knew their history, but they were not librarians. As a library student, I felt I missed out on some of the wonderful fundamentals of academic librarianship that a world class university such as Oxford would be able to impart on an up-and-coming professional. After all, some of the most groundbreaking and important research in the world right now is happening within these very walls. And with that glory comes a very great responsibility. It is not enough to order something from another institution or to let a scholar know that something has gone out of print. I would have liked to know more about the process for obtaining information-especially when that information is not on the grounds. I also would have liked to know more about how the library staff supports their students and visiting scholars in their research. I imagine the everyday questions they receive are not like those of most librarians.
I left Oxford University with more questions than when I arrived. Then again, isn’t that the sign of a great university? A student should never leave feeling they have learned it all but with a greater thirst for knowledge than ever before.

There is no name more descriptive of terror and horror than that of Stephen King. The mere mention of his name is enough to send shivers down the spine of even the most brave. Born in Maine in 1947, Stephen is a second son raised in Indiana, Connecticut and Maine by a single mother who also cared for her aging parents.
Stephen attended and graduated from University of Maine, where he met his wife, Tabitha. He supported his wife and growing family by working as a laborer and later as a teacher. He was able to give up teaching with his first major paperback sale. The paperback? Carrie.
From that moment on, Stephen King became a household name. With about 50 novels, and countless comics, screenplays, poems, essays, short stories, novellas, and of course, the Bachman novels, Stephen clearly ranks with the greatest, and most prolific, writers of all time.
Stephen King has written about the things that lurk in the shadows of little children’s imaginations, and that tap incessantly at the back door of an adult’s. With everything from an insane clown in It , to a variety of aliens in books such as The Tommyknockers and Under The Dome , he thinks of those nightmares that are universally terrifying…and makes them even more horrifying.
A master of horror, certainly, but he also can write the most hauntingly beautiful love story, as evidenced by Lisey’s Story . His books are never shallow, short reads. With most books numbering 500 pages or more, they are always filled with plot, great characterization, and plenty to think about. Fully capable of giving you nightmares for months or even years, Stephen’s books also leave you feeling as though you’ve lived them when you close the book for the final time.
Possibly one of his greatest claims to fame is his epic Dark Tower series. Currently consisting of seven books, with an eighth in the works, this series is about to become a movie trilogy and a television series.
The Dark Tower is not his first movie and/or television series, however. Many of his books have been made into movies: Cujo, Carrie, Christine, Desperation, The Tommyknockers, It, The Stand, ‘Salem’s Lot, andThe Shining are just a few of the movies based on Stephen’s books.
My favorite novel by Stephen King would have to be Lisey’s Story. With the perfect combination of horror and romance, with love intertwined inseparably with evil, this book hits every emotion with the reader. He perfectly highlights that there is a light and dark side to every love and that if love is true, it can handle both.
I love Stephen King for many reasons. His amazing imagination, his unfathomable talent, and his continuous output of incredible fiction are all valid reasons. But one of the biggest reasons I love him is his humbleness: he refers to his fans as “Constant Reader” and is always thankful that they continue to read his works. How could you not love an author whose fame is well deserved but who still knows that without his fans, he’d be nothing? The answer: You can’t!


System Safety Engineering entails the application of engineering and management principles, criteria, and techniques to optimize safety within the constraints of operational effectiveness, time, and cost throughout all phases of the system or facility life cycle.
APT engineers have established a dependable process to conduct System Safety Engineering. This process includes the following seven steps:
Implementation of the seven-step process involves support activities which include:
Intended Audience: Engineers, designers, system safety analysts and reviewers of analyses.
The System Safety Scrapbook by Mr. Pat Clemens is available for purchase. This publication on the principles of the system safety practice is widely used both as a training aid and as a desktop reference. The Scrapbook is a compilation of 98, one-page, breezy style, problem-solving advisories on the practical aspects of the field -- such things as converting failure rate data to the probability of failure during a specified interval of exposure, and relating system safety practice to reliability engineering. Many watch-outs and potential analytical flaws are identified.
APT is offering this edition for $22 plus shipping.
Intended Audience: Designers, Reliability Engineers, and System Safety Analysts working with electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and similar systems.
Purpose: This handbook contains a large database of failure probability data for system components and human operators of systems. Sources are identified for all data entries. Also included: guidance documents useful to engineers in arriving at, adjusting, and applying failure probability estimates. The database and guidance are assembled in this single source to support ease of reference use by designers, engineers, and analysts. Included are guidance papers on adjusting failure probability estimates for light duty (i.e., derated) cases, for high stress cases, use of Bayes theorem, and making failure estimates for systems and devices with failure-free operating records.

The current platform is the result of an inter-institutional and inter-disciplinary collaboration project launched in 2016. Its central purpose is to announce through internet resources, on digital and paleographic form, the different versions of the Crónica Mexicana, manuscript attributed to Mr. Hernando de Alvarado Tezozómoc that has been considered one of the foremost sources on Mexica history.
Currently, there are several versions of the Chronicle, but for a lot of reasons they are scattered throughout different Mexican and foreign document repositories; therefore our interest is to put them all on this singular platform. Among these repositories, there is the located at the Archivo General de la Nación. Historia, GD 257, vol. 12, años 1598, 1792; one placed at the Archivo Histórico de la Biblioteca Nacional de Antropología e Historia, Colección Antigua, (A copy of the copy of The Collection of Memoires of the New Spain from 1792, sent to the Mexican General National Archive; which belongs to J. F. Ramírez, with abundant notes and appendix); Crónica Mexicana (one of three copies of the Collection of Memoires of the New Spain from 1792, made and kept at the San Francisco Convent; which belonged to García Icazbalceta, with abundant notes); and one kept at the University of Texas at Austin Library, Joaquín García Icazbalceta Collection.
The placement of these different versions of the Crónica Mexicana on this platform will allow this wonderful work to be showcased and will encourage the study, analysis and comparison of these emblematic manuscripts. These manuscripts constitute part of our collective memory and they belong to our documental heritage which has inestimable value; they must be preserved, but above all, they must be publicly available. It is worth mentioning that besides having different versions of these digital and paleographic images, the readers and users on this platform will find a series of articles written by Mexican and foreign specialists on the subject which analyse the Crónica Mexicana through different perspectives. An updated bibliography features these various works that have been examined and scrutinized through different scopes this chronicle and its author.
We hope that the different copies of the Crónica Mexicana that have been set on this platform will be used by international researchers and promote the study of this important document. Hopefully, this study will sensibly contribute to the availability, care and protection of the cultural property of Mexico.
