Building sustainable peer review processes to foster research integrity
Peer Review Week 2022 (Sep 19-23), powered by Editage and Researcher.Life, was bigger than ever with exciting discussions with KOLs in academia and the scholarly publishing community. This year’s Peer Review Week theme, Research Integrity: Creating and Supporting Trust in Research, was chosen from a global open poll. The popularity of the issue underscores the need for the scholarly community to address it in depth. CACTUS has been involved with Peer Review Week since the beginning. However, Peer Review Week 2022 was more special as CACTUS co-chaired the event, shedding light on the crucial role of peer review in upholding research integrity.
To celebrate Peer Review Week 2022, a special episode of the All Things SciComm podcast hosted Jigisha Patel, an independent research integrity consultant and a former journal editor. Co-hosts Nikesh Gosalia, Senior Vice President, Global Academic and Publisher Relations at CACTUS, and Jayashree Rajagopalan, Author Community Lead at CACTUS and co-chair of the Peer Review Week committee, delved into the persisting “publish or perish” culture in academia, the importance of peer review in upholding research integrity, and how those in the research community can play a role in ensuring publication of credible research.
Jigisha Patel discusses her views on research integrity problems encountered in scholarly publishing, and viable solutions and collective efforts taken by the academic community to prevent them. Tune in here as the speakers share their insights and more.

During the Sixties and Seventies of the last century, the word 'utopia' acquired a positive connotation spurred on by the sudden emergence of the third world, the Marxist liberation movements and the decolonization of Africa and Asia, in so far as these processes were interpreted in Marxist terms and as a moment of the historical class struggle that would lead humanity to the final achievement of communism and the entirely planned society, whose rationality would represent the attainment of paradise in this world.
After the fall of the Soviet Union and the collapse of most of the totalitarian regimes, the employment of the term 'utopia' as an ideological weapon by the Marxist movement could not maintain its intensity, and as a consequence there was a relative decline of interest in the subject.
Utopia continues to survive in the current ideology of democracy, which postulates a final universal homogenous state as the goal of the evolution of human society and of conflicts and history.
However, the significance of utopianism for the contemporary political thought could not be wholly understood without the consideration of its permanence in the history of western political thought, and especially of its Greek origins in Plato.
The papers included in this volume are devoted to the analysis of his political works, especially the Republic and the Laws and its reception in the Hellenistic age and in the Renaissance.

The climber treks up mountains formed by planetary forces, while a writer builds his own mountain using stones of language. At times, the exertion feels the same.
The character Hawkeye Pierce of M*A*S*H said his favorite book is the dictionary because it has all the other books in it. Your book is there, too. You've just got to pick the words that appeal to you and place them in an order of your choosing. 80,000 times.
It all starts with an idea, something you yearn to express, whether it's a personal experience, a political, religious, or philosophical perspective, a clever story, or a commentary on our life and times. Many manuscripts are the book the author would have liked to read but couldn't find.
Prompts are a few words to entire scenarios meant to stimulate the imagination. They provide practice, or may be fodder for a complete novel, and are a useful resource for beginners.
There are many books and on-line sources, but here's one I like for no other reason than it's sheer volume:
5,000 WRITING PROMPTS by Bryn Donovan
(link opens in a new tab)
Perhaps the best place to find inspiration and material with which to work is in other books. Fiction and non-fiction. Enjoying a novel in something other than your primary go-to genre, could get you thinking in new ways.
It's been said many times: There are no new stories. Every tale is derivative of something, with a twist. There are a dozen movies and numerous novels that are Cinderella. Cinderella itself is a retelling of a 17th century French tale, Cendrillon.
You make it your own by introducing a tangent... or right angle turn. What would have happened to Cinderella if the prince had never found her with the glass slipper? Who might she have become?

Every time our Women’s Writing Circle meets, it takes me a couple days to process highlights of our time together and blog what went on without betraying the confidentiality of the group. I think it’s safe to say that as the ten of us gathered in the lovely community room of the Chester Springs Library, here in Chester County, Pennsylvania, the desire to devote time to ourselves and capture our stories before it’s too late emerged.
Those stories often revolve around family, spirituality and the quest almost all writers I know pursue, which is answering the question … Who am I? Who are the people who most impacted my life? What was their role in my own journey? Whether interviewing family members or reminiscing about a long-ago time as a young girl, we share through fiction and memoir. This takes work and dedication, of course. But the women who have come to the Circle month after month during the 12 years I’ve facilitated the group, are testament to that dedication.
For my own part, I am happy to report that my novel, And the Memory Returns, is now in final production stages with Word-2-Kindle. To pique your interest in buying the book, which continues the story of Ava and Jay and is the sequel to my first novel, A Portrait of Love and Honor, the synopsis is this:
For some time, Ava felt the best years of her life ended when Jay died. They seemed the most promising, brimming with excitement and expectation, where anything was possible. In the years after his death, friends, family and a good dog sustain her. A writer and single mother, she looks back on her life and her memories. What did it all mean? Where does she go from here? Can she put the past behind her? Her best friend’s diagnosis of Alzheimer’s and the transformational power of international travel leads to surprising revelations and a path forward.
Many of you might remember that I recently wrote about publishing my novel. The post, “The Author’s Publishing Jungle”, details my reasons for choosing independent publishing and BookBaby.
Further research on my part, however, turned up Word-2-Kindle. I bought the Deluxe Package, which is $399. It includes everything from interior design and formatting to cover design and upload to Amazon, which then assigns my trade paperback an ISBN at no additional cost. Word-2-Kindle was a marked savings over virtually the same service with BookBaby, which cost around $2,200. In addition, Word-2-Kindle offers unlimited revision for a month, which works for those of us who might have missed a typo or need to rework a sentence. My project manager, Jen, has responded to my questions in a timely manner and I am pleased with how well things are going.
The point is to get my book out without breaking the bank. I should have no trouble recouping the $399. That, in itself, was a motivator to work with my chosen publisher.
As we write our stories, we—or, at least, I—contemplate a desire to see them published. Not everyone feels they want to publish and that’s fine. Sharing with you, my readers, has been one of the great honors of my life, personally and professionally.
I wish the best of luck for everyone planning a creative endeavor. As we discussed in the Women’s Writing Circle, there has never been a writer who didn’t question whether what she writes is any good or not. That said, the risk of using our voices to help make this world a little better, even for just one reader who might glean something useful from our work, is a risk worth taking.
One thought on “From Writing to Publishing”
All the best with the next novel. Well done.


In 1968, a book called “Whole Earth Catalog” was published, written by Stewart Brand. This book, which later became known simply as “Whole Earth,” was a guide to tools, resources, and ideas that could help people live a self-sufficient and sustainable lifestyle. It became a cultural touchstone, influencing the environmental movement and the counterculture of the time.
The book’s main point is the importance of a holistic approach to life, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all things. In this view, everything is interconnected and interdependent, and we must take a systemic approach to solving problems. We cannot just look at individual issues, such as pollution or overconsumption, but must address the underlying systems that create these problems.
The book encourages readers to live simply, be self-sufficient, and reduce their impact on the environment. It provides a list of tools and resources for self-sufficiency, such as farming equipment, building materials, and books on various topics. It emphasizes the importance of knowledge and education in achieving self-sufficiency and sustainability. In this view, we cannot simply rely on technology or government to solve our problems; we must take responsibility for our own lives and learn how to live in a sustainable way.
The book also promotes the idea of community and collaboration. It suggests that people work together to achieve common goals, such as creating local food systems or developing renewable energy sources. It encourages readers to question authority and think for themselves, to challenge the status quo and create new ways of living.
One of the key points in the book is the importance of renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind power. The book promotes the use of natural and organic products, warning against the dangers of synthetic chemicals. It encourages readers to be mindful of their consumption and waste, and to reuse and recycle whenever possible. This message is as relevant today as it was in 1968, as we continue to face environmental challenges such as climate change and plastic pollution.
The book also emphasizes the importance of taking care of one’s physical and mental health. It encourages readers to explore and appreciate the natural world, to spend time outdoors and connect with nature. It advocates for the use of alternative forms of transportation, such as bicycles and public transportation, to reduce our dependence on cars and fossil fuels.
The book promotes the use of alternative forms of currency, such as bartering and time-based systems. It emphasizes the importance of art and creativity in life, and encourages readers to be politically active and engaged. It advocates for the use of technology to improve the human condition, while also recognizing the potential dangers of technology and the need for caution and responsibility.
One of the key messages in the book is the importance of diversity and cultural exchange. It promotes the idea of lifelong learning and personal growth, encouraging readers to challenge their assumptions and biases. It advocates for a decentralized, non-hierarchical approach to social organization, recognizing the potential of small-scale, local solutions to global problems.
In many ways, “Whole Earth” was ahead of its time. It anticipated many of the environmental and social challenges we face today, and offered practical solutions and a hopeful vision of the future. The book’s influence can be seen in the environmental movement, the organic food and farming movement, and the wider cultural shift towards sustainability and self-sufficiency.
“Whole Earth” is a timeless guide to sustainable living and a holistic approach to life. Its message is as relevant today as it was in 1968, and its practical advice and inspiring vision offer a roadmap for a more sustainable and fulfilling future. As we face the challenges of the 21st century, we can learn much from this pioneering book, and from the values and ideas that it represents.

THE EQUINOX Vol. III No. 1
Heavenly Bridegrooms. By Theodore Schroeder and Ida Craddock. Reprinted from the Alienist and Neurologist.
This book has been left entirely unedited by Mr. Theodore Schroeder, with the exception of a very brief explanatory note. I may say that it is one of the most remarkable human documents ever produced, and it should certainly find a regular publisher in book form. The authoress of the MS. claims that she was the wife of an angel. She expounds at the greatest length the philosophy connected with this thesis. Her learning is enormous. She finds traces of similar beliefs in every country in the world, and (having a similar experience of her own) she can hardly be blamed for arguing that one thing confirms the other. Mr. Schroeder is quite logical in calling her paper An Unintentional Contribution to the Erotogenic Interpretation of Religion, but commits the errors of petitio principii and non distributio medii with the most exquisite nonchalance. Only a lawyer could be so shameless. He begs the question with regard to this particular case, assuming that her relation with the angel was pure hallucination, of which he has no evidence whatsoever. He argues that, since one person both loves and is religious, religion is nothing but a morbid manifestation of the sexual instinct. One does not have even to disagree with him to see how worthless is his reasoning. As a matter of fact, I do half agree with him in my calmer moments in a general way, but the conclusion can be carried a step further. When you have proved that God is merely a name for the sex instinct, it appears to me not far to the perception that the sex instinct is God.
This particular MS. is absolutely sane in every line. The fact that the woman committed suicide twelve or fifteen years afterwards is no more against the sanity of the MS. than the suicide of Socrates proves that the Republic is merely the lucubration of a lunatic. I am very far from agreeing with all that this most talented woman sets forth in her paper, but she certainly obtained initiated knowledge of extraordinary depth. She seems to have had access to certain most concealed sanctuaries. I should personally be inclined to attribute her suicide rather to the vengeance of the guardians of those palaces than to any more obvious cause. She has put down statements in plain English which are positively staggering. This book is of incalculable value to every student of occult matters. No Magick library is complete without it.

The picture above has an interesting story. You may have noticed that handsome young American soldier on the left. That is Gunther Sadel, my father's younger brother. He, like my father, had a Jewish father and a Christian mother. Hitler didn't like that so Gunther and my grandfather first went to Amsterdam. Grandpa then went to the USA while Gunther spent a year in England. When Uncle Gunther got to the US he wound up joining the US Army. After spending a little time in a unit in Alabama (or somewhere else in the deep South?) he wound up on the staff of the general responsile for the Nurenberg Trials where the Nazi's were brought up on charges.
Uncle Gunther's unit was the OSS, Office of Special Services, which later became the CIA. As a member of the OSS you did not wear any rank insignia, anyone and everyone had to follow the directives of an OSS member in the completion of their duties. Side note: When the general found out he was only a corporal, he got a "battlefield" promotion to second lieutenant!!
One of Uncle Gunther's duties was to find witnesses to appear in the trials. The general called Uncle Gunther into his office and handed him his orders to find a particular witness. It turned out to be his mother, my grandmother, who he had lost contact with. Well, my grandmoter told me the story of when Uncle Gunther showed up at her door. I'll save that one for my book!
Some of Uncle Gunther's exploits can be found in a book, Nurmberg - Infamy on Trial by Joseph E. Persico
A bunch of text


From Jim Grant's review of "Grand Pursuit: The Story of Economic Genius" by Sylvia Nasar:
There isn't room for every economist in this book or any other, but I myself missed the voice of Jacques Rueff, the 20th-century theorist who was able to demonstrate the superiority of the classical gold standard over the faux gold standard devised by Keynes (incorporated in the Bretton Woods system of 1944-71) or the paper-money regime advocated by Fisher and Friedman.
I missed, as well, Murray Rothbard, who blamed the Great Depression on the Hoover administration. It didn't intervene too little, Rothbard unconventionally sought to show in his 1963 book, "America's Great Depression," but rather too much. The economics profession just smiled at this contention, but the unsolved case of the depression of 1920-21 counts heavily for Rothbard's thesis. It was a deep and painful slump (a young Army veteran, Harry S. Truman, lost his Kansas City haberdashery to bankruptcy), with the wholesale price index dropping by 37% and the measured rate of unemployment tripling to 12%.

Our August essay on pulse oximetryâour most read piece of the yearâprompted an pressing new medical research that was just lately printed in the New England Journal of Medicine and lined final week in the New York Times. Our collection on COVID-19, Thinking in a Pandemic, received so much consideration that we published an essential choice of essays in a fifth, supplemental book on high of our usual 4. And so lots of our necessary essays on race and history made it into influential newsletters, including New York Times columnist Jamelle Bouieâs. This is the second of these collections that I’ve learn. This one felt a bit tutorial, as many of the essays included analysis and/or had been reportage type.
We observe along on the journey, from occasion to occasion in Ohio and West Virginia, with Laymonâs observations and ideas interspersed with day by day COVID-19 dying counts and the newest words or orders from Donald Trump and Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves. Itâs a powerful meditation, one that can stop you in your tracks. As 2020 attracts to an in depth, weâve been trying again on the unbelievable vary and volume of recent pieces we revealed. From the pandemic to the protests and from politics to philosophy, these essaysâour prime twenty-one most readâbrought clarity and ethical urgency to a chaotic time.
But what did that truly appear to be over time, especially when his father became sick? What does unconditional love and devotion seem like in our own lives? Solomon writes an trustworthy and heartbreaking essay on love, aging, and marriage â in sickness and in well being. âBirth of Coolâ is a braided essay about 9-11, love, coolness, and the demise of her grandfather, her first icon of âcool.â In âBirth of Cool,â Rita Banerjee examines her rising infatuation with everything styled and aestheticized. She investigates how September 11 signaled the death of irony, but not of cool, which she imparts from her idols, from Miles Davis and Jimi Hendrix to MTV and Jon Stewart. In âBirth of Cool,â Banerjee explains why she chose a lifetime of aesthetics, style, and emotional distance over that of politics, righteousness, and specific social engagement.
As I shortlisted tales, I realized there might be many alternative variations of this record, but, in the long run, these eight reads really spoke to me. But this doesnât imply the video ought to essentially purpose for pure objectivity; private video essays are, in fact, a thing. I wondered a lot about who is responsible when an essay kindles no spark of interest. I take a few of the blame, since many topics haven’t any relevance to my present life. I assign some blame to the editors and writers, too, when essays appear pointless or too shrill.
A assortment of https://www.albuquerquebaroqueplayers.com/prog3.htm the yr’s finest essays chosen by AndrÃ© Aciman, writer of the worldwide bestseller Call Me by Your Name. “An essay is the kid of uncertainty,” AndreÌ Aciman contends in his introduction to The Best American Essays 2020. âAn essay is the child of uncertainty,â AndrÃ© Aciman contends in his introduction toThe Best American Essays 2020. âAn essay is the kid of uncertainty,â AndreÌ Aciman contends in his introduction toThe Best American Essays 2020.

Rancher Dave Daley presents a devastating account of the destruction of his familyâs cattle range in Plumas National Forest, and a passionate plea to legislators and regulators to finally hearken to the land and the locals in relation to forest management. Daley initially posted this account on Facebook; his followers really helpful that the Chico Enterprise-Recordreprint it for a wider audience. A small sampling of standout essays revealed this yr. Contributions from readers allow us to supply a public house, free and open, for the discussion of ideas.
But the works they chose for this e-book just don’t display the qualities celebrated in both of their essays. ROBERT ATWAN has been the collection editor of The Best American Essays since its inception in 1986. He has edited quite a few literary anthologies and written essays and critiques for periodicals nationwide. The Best American Essays is a yearly anthology of magazine articles published in the United States. It was started in 1986 and is now part of The Best American Series printed by Houghton Mifflin. The collection is edited by Robert Atwan, and Joyce Carol Oates assisted in the editing process till 2000 with the publication of The Best American Essays of the Century.
As a California poet, I was thinking about winters elsewhere, the ones I first noticed in childrenâs books and skilled after I lived in New York City in my twenties. The bossy but intimate fashion of her greatest meals writing taught a long time of house cooks to trust the energy of their convictions. Revered among better-known New Narrative writers, Dodie Bellamy has made uncompromising extra her inventive credo. I tried a lot of stuff when I first obtained began, however understanding what I know now, Iâd suggest different practices. âThe prosecutorâs job, not like the defense attorneyâs or judgeâs, is to do justice.
Aciman acquired his Ph.D. in Comparative Literature from Harvard University, has taught at Princeton and Bard and is Distinguished Professor of Comparative Literature at The CUNY Graduate Center. He is presently chair of the Ph. D. Program in Comparative Literature and founder and director of The Writers’ Institute on the Graduate Center. But for the most part, the e-book is forgettable private essays. It’s a disgrace as a result of each the intro essays — by collection editor Robert Atwan and visitor editor Andre Aciman — are fairly good.

This is a true story written by the mommy of a little boy. Mommy is very fond of gardening, so when spring was round the corner, she decided to make a trip to the nursery to get a few plants to make the home look pretty. Now, the little boy also wanted a plant to call his own. No, he didn't need help from mommy to decide which one. He went looking around patiently, cause he wanted it to be the perfect little baby. Atlast he spotted one and said "This one's for me". A strawberry plant it turned out to be. Once home, he trusted mommy to be the caregiver and asked her oh so gently to plant it for him.
Now that sonny had entrusted the plant to mommy, she had to see that the plant would not wither. Everyday the little boy would go and see if the plant was okay. If it was too cold he would be worried, what if the plant didn't make it? Mommy assured him, that his baby was growing pretty. In no time, she grew to be a lush green beauty.
The time came for her to flower and what a delicate one it turned out to be. Little boy's joy knew no bounds. "A strawberry for me, A strawberry for me" he screamed. In a short while it dawned on him, that there were four in the family and only one flower. You see the little boy's heart is never selfish. He wanted a strawberry so badly for each one in the family. He prayed for more flowers and slowly more buds were to be seen.
Now comes little boys daddy.."Sonny" he says. "Do not count your chickens before they hatch. You see the flowers may not bear fruit. Remember mommy's tomato plants. They flowered in plenty, but there were only two tomatoes to see". Little boy is puzzled. He now prays fervently for the strawberries. You see he wanted to see them grow so badly. Everyday with a peek now and then, he finally spotted one for all of to see.
A beautiful berry with a petal still clinging on to her dearly.
The little boy's heart was content, for there were not one, not two, but eight berries for
the family. Now he waits patiently for them to grow and ripen, so that he can enjoy them with mommy, daddy and his little sister. The story does not end here. It will continue in a month's time with the pictures of the proud little boy with his strawberries!!

"Getting a Life" Previews
Thomas Saunders' book has life lessons for us all. His inspirational story shows what's possible when one follows a deep inner calling, no matter what we have to give up.
Ultimately his life is an adventure that many of us would like to aspire to but very few of us have the courage and drive to make it happen.
This autobiography takes the reader on a journey through the perceptions of Thomas Saunders which enlivens the senses with an enchanting exploration revealing many of life's hidden gems. He passes on his wisdom eloquently and accessibly as he explores his relationships with himself, with others, with nature and spirit.
Tom Saunders has been a close friend for more than half a lifetime and it has been my pleasure to discover fascinating, diverse and revealing aspects of his life, which were hitherto unknown to me.
Early in his career he founded his own practice which became a major and highly respected organisation, but his story is much more than the history of becoming a distinguished, internationally recognised architect.
This autobiography describes his lifetime study of the occult, his love of music, the adventures sailing the high seas and an epic voyage into the Amazon. A thoroughly readable book for all ages.
Thomas Saunders' Getting A life is more about getting several lives. From perhaps a less than auspicious start, relative to the achievements he made as an architect, he charts the course from his early years and the Second World War in London's East End through to his present happy years in the South of France.
Making sense of the twists and turns that his life has taken will inspire the reader that no matter the cards you were dealt when you were born, you can nevertheless create your own destiny - albeit with a little help from your friends. Others may be encouraged to read that however dire life seems at times, there may yet be surprises to lift you towards a better course, around the corner.
The Life Thomas describes has been a fascinating one. Rich with many unusual and enriching experiences, it could be described not as counting the moments, but in treasuring the moments that counted.
This book is entertaining, well-written and offers the reader Thomas' special brand of down-to-earth narrative and heartfelt observation.

The Brooklyn Public Library
“Where do the Books Go?” was developed to highlight the Brooklyn Public Library’s impact on the daily lives of hundreds of thousands of Brooklyn residents.
Intimate portraits made in the homes and communities of library users illustrate how individual experiences with this institution are woven into the fabric of Brooklyn life and culture. The subjects’ personal histories reflect contemporary issues such as immigration, unemployment, aging, the quest for a better education, and the desire to stay engaged with a rapidly changing world.
The work was presented at a solo multi-media exhibit at the Central Branch of the Brooklyn Public Library in 2011. “Where Do the Books Go?” was the subject of a Sunday feature in the New York Daily News.


Dickens was born on February
7th, 1812 in Portsmouth, England to John and Elizabeth Dickens. Early in his life, Charles was faced with great trials tribulations.
When Charles reached the age of twelve, his father was imprisoned for being unable to pay his debts. He was sent to Marshalsea
debtor’s prison and took along with him his wife and six youngest children. Therefore, Charles was forced to drop out
of school and work ten hours daily in a boot blackening factory to support himself and help pay off the debt. After a few
years his father was released, but his mother still made him work in the factory to continue to help support the family. A
little while later, he quit his boot blackening job and attended school until he was hired as a law clerk. He then quit that
job and became a court reporter, and after that job he became a journalist. This is when he first began his writing career.
These experiences early in his life became the inspiration for many of great novels especially David Copperfield which is
known as a veiled autobiography.
Dickens’s first works were simply sketches about English life at that time
period, and a collection of these sketches was made in 1836 entitled Sketches By Boz (Boz was his pseudonym at that time).
Shortly thereafter, he published his first novel The Pitwick Papers which began his fame. Dickens married a woman by the name
of Catherine Hogarth to whom he eventually had ten children with, but after several long years their marriage ended when Dickens
returned to an early love. During his marriage, his writing career did not provide Dickens with enough money to be able to
support his large family, so he went on a lecture tour of the United States in 1842. On his lecture tour he actively spoke
out against slavery and tried to establish international copyright laws to help him and other writers. Dickens always stood
up for the unfortunate people and in his novels spoke out against child labor, living and working conditions of the poor,
education denied to the poor, debtor’s prisons, and class discrimination. Dickens is often considered responsible for
the shutting down of the Marshalsea and Fleet Prisons through his novels. Although he tried to help people in these conditions
he was often criticized for portraying women in his novels as “innocents or “grotesques.” During his lecture
tours he also gave readings from his favorite works and was said to have great emotion and drama when he read. The stress
from his tours was said to be the cause of his slow decline in his health. Dickens eventually died at Gad’s Hill in
Kent, England on June 9, 1870. During his lifetime Dickens, wrote over fifteen novels, over twenty short stories, and was
in the process of writing a novel when he died. It was said that Dickens put a great deal of research into all of his works
and would spend days researching before writing scenes of his books. He was well renowned and liked throughout England and
the world ever since the early days of his career. In England, none of Dickens’s books have ever gone out of print since
their initial publication. He created a new style of writing that still has not been matched. Dickens novels will continue
to best selling for many years, for readers will always love to hear the classic adventures of the exciting characters developed
by Charles Dickens.


I often get asked: what are your hobbies? As a mom, I don’t love this question. I have four kids ages 3 to 10. My hobbies are making dinner, cleaning up toothpaste smears, and doing laundry.
However, there is one hobby I’ve tightly held on to: reading. Perhaps you read my blog about the magical Book Lover’s Weekend in Bishop Hill. I love to read and it’s desperately important to me that my kids also love reading.
Here are some things I’ve done to help my kids become readers.
Sign them up for a library card as soon as possible.
The Rock Island Library has an early reader card called the “My First Library Card” that doesn’t incur any fines and is for Rock Island locations only. It is connected to my email so I get all the notices and such. My kids have each gotten their own cards as early as age two and they use it to check out books. I bet your library has something similar.
When they turn six they get an official card. This is a big deal in our house.
Of course, as library patrons, we talk about how lucky we are to have access to all the books, movies and puzzles, but mostly I focus on books. We learn how to take care of them and we have a special spot at home for library books so they don’t get mixed in with #allthethings.
Now, Rock Island has a mobile library (a “Bookmobile!!!”) which I’m beyond excited about.
Show them I love reading.
This is especially hard because, frankly, my reading time is often after they are in bed.
I do these things:
- keep a book on my nightstand
- ask for books for Christmas and my birthday
- talk about books with my friends in front of my kids
- check out books from the library (even though sometimes I don’t get them read-even when I renew them).
- tell them when I’m listening to a book with audible
Make full bookshelves a priority.
Each kid’s bedroom has a bookshelf and so does the playroom.
?? Do the books seem to multiply overnight? Yes.
?? Some days, do I think we have WAY TOO MANY? Yes.
?? Could we easily cut back? Yes.
?? Should we? Maybe. I do periodically take some to the free library that’s hosted in conjunction with our church’s food pantry (Feel free to drop any unwanted books at Church of Peace in Rock Island; we will gladly offer them to the food pantry and ESL class patrons).
But here’s why I don’t weed out very many books: I want my kids to know that books are important and I want them to know variety matters. Subtly, we’ve shown that books are as important as toys. Books take pride of place in most of the rooms where we spend the majority of our time.
Read before bed as often as possible.
Personally, I won’t read “look and find” or books that don’t have a story at bedtime. The boys know they have to talk to Dad if that’s their choice for the night. I also won’t read the same one more than two days in a row. Unless it’s Three Ducks Went Wandering. That book is good enough to read every night!
Talk about favorite books.
I talk about them a lot. I show them that I wrote my name in the front of Millions of Cats when I was little where it says “this book belongs to.” As they’ve gotten older I’ve recommended books and, now, (this is THE BEST) I’m reading aloud some of my very favorites (Summer of the Monkeys, I Want to Go Home, Wonder).
Set up a personal librarian interview.
This might be one of my favorite things EVER. I asked an acquaintance (a friend of a friend that I connected with on Facebook and then became friends with) who is a fantastic children’s librarian to meet with our kids individually and then recommend some books.
I’m not sure I can adequately express how magical this was: 1. To have someone else talk books with my kids. 2. To have someone appreciate their particular personalities and then have the knowledge to match books with traits. 3. To have an amazing list of books to get my kids for Christmas and at the library that are just right.
Most of all she listened and provided great tips on how to nurture an even greater love for reading in our boys. So a special shout out to Erin Waldorf-Smith, children’s librarian at Mark Twain Elementary in Bettendorf. Thank you!
Everyone has a different relationship with books. For me, it’s really important to nurture and foster a strong love of reading in our children.


Today (September 1st 2016) is the day that the Potters and the Weasley’s all go back to Hogwarts! My eleventh birthday has long ago passed and yet no owl showed up with my letter to Hogwarts meaning I’m stuck being a Muggle and going to high school with people moodier than Filtch (I’m just as moody as them so I cant really make fun though).
But anyways since the young witches and wizards are going to learn about spells and stuff, I thought I would do the Harry Potter Spells tag which I found online at Becoming Bookish but this tag was originally done by TurtleSympathy.
I wasn’t tagged by anyone but I’m going to do this anyways.
Basically in this tag there is a list of spells from the books and each spell has a question that comes with it.
1- EXPETO PATRONUM
A childhood book connected to good memories
I honestly couldn’t really remember any books that really got me interested in reading specifically so I thought I’d go with the books that taught me how to read. If you went to primary school in England like I did, (recently not 20 odd years ago), then there’s a chance that you know about the characters Biff, Chip and Kipper.(I always thought Chip was such a weird name to call your child)
The Magic Key is the only one I fully remember and when I went to find the image on Google it was so weird. I also got a lot more excited when we got to pick our own books and moving from Level 1 books up to level 12 throughout year 1 to year 6. I also distincticley remember being jealous of people in my year who were on a higher reading level then me.
A Book That Took You By Suprise
I’m going to have to go with The Red Pyramid by Rick Riordan. I love Ricks books. Except this trilogy! I don’t know why I didn’t like this book. I try to tell myself that it’s because I didn’t know much Egyptian mythology going into this, but I didn’t know any Norse mythology when I read Magnus Chase and yet I still enjoyed that. But yeah, I was expecting to love this trilogy but I just didn’t like this one. The second book is a lot better and I enjoyed that a lot more then the first and I’m half way through with the third but I haven’t read any of that in weeks.
3- Prior Incantanto
The last book you read.
Funnily enough the last book I read was Harry Potter and The Cursed Child. But I am currently reading Scarlett by Marissa Meyer and even though it’s taking me forever I am really enjoying it.
A book that introduced you to a genre you had not considered.
I have two: Twilight. Twilight was really what got me into fantasy and YA books even thoughI was only maybe 9 at the time when I read this, but I was obsessed and I loved it and I made my dad get me the rest of the series on my kindle and I re read them so much. And the second one is Hunger Games. Granted the only reason I read this was because I loved the first two movies and my mum got me the box set for my birthday, but even though I haven’t really read all that many more books in the Dystopian genre it has opened me up to it and I’m excited to read more, even if it isn’t my go to genre.
A funny book you’ve read
The Hidden Oracle. I love all of Rick Riordan’s books like I said, and the whole Percy Jackson series is hilarious and I was actually going to put that as my answer until I remembered this book. I think I appreciated the humour a lot more in this, Apollo is a hopelessly big headed and arrogant and stuck up character and yet it works for him, and there’s things included in this from the other series that make it funny to read.
A book you think everybody should read.
The Raven Boys!!! I loved this book I thought it was amazing and totally not what I expected. This is such a strange book with such a strange and unexpected plot that I really enjoyed and I recommend it to anyone who hasn’t read it yet.
A book or spoiler you would like to forget having read
THE WHOLE HARRY POTTER SERIES!!! I watched the movies for this series first so obviously I was spoiled for the whole thing and I think all the deaths would have hit so closer to home if I had read the books and not known anything about any of the plot twists.
A book you had to read for school.
I honestly don’t read books for school. We get given a reading book for lengua from the library. (Spanish school. Lengua is basically literacy, it’s a class where we learn about verbs and pronouns and all that boring stuff and we do a lot of dictations and I mostly want to fall asleep in that class, and because I’m English and my Spanish isn’t perfect it’s such a hard class, luckily for me, I have a Spanish class and the work I do in there helps with my grade). I spent all last year reading Matilda because I kept taking my own books to school and reading them I’m also a lot more into YA so Matilda bored me a lot.
A book that was painful to read
Do I even need to explain myself? This book was just sad plain and simple!!!!!
10- Avada Kedavra
A book you would kill (interpret as you will)
I’m interpreting this as a book I would literally kill. And for this question I am saying my textbooks I get given off school. They’re so boring and it means I have to do work and the questions in them are so annoying and the answers aren’t clear and obviously I don’t like my school textbooks!!!
Ok Everyone thanks for reading. I don’t know if the colour scheme matches but I just discovered the whole colour changing thing and I like it. If you are reading this on the day this is published (September 1st) and if you’re a wizard: Hope you have fun at Hogwarts, I wish I was there.
If you’re a regular old muggle there’s not much I can say other then:
Pinch punch first of the month! But even that doesn’t have much of an inpact since I cant actually pinch nor punch you.
Thanks for reading. Bye! -PURPLE PANCAKES 🙂

History matters. And we’re losing too much of it. I was reminded of this last year when Linda and I visited the new library on Swan’s Island for one of my book talks. The Island librarian lamented that their old library burned and they’d lost a lot of valuable historical items and records.
I was reminded of this again when I recently spent an hour with Adam Fisher at the Maine State Library, where Adam is doing a superb job of collecting and digitizing old books, brochures, photos, and other records from long-gone Maine sporting camps. Adam had suggested I have a look at these items for the book on sporting camps I am writing for Down East Books.
Maine once had over 300 sporting camps but we’re down to about 3 dozen now of the traditional camps with a lodge serving food and separate cabins for sleeping. Too many sporting camps are not even distant memories, but Adam is doing all he can to collect and save brochures and other information about them. I was amazed by some of the items in his collection.
In Mount Vernon, Linda and I are surrounded by history, starting with our home that was constructed in 1796. At one time there was a dam on Hopkins Stream, beside our house, with a box factory on one side and a leather factory on the other. It’s been fun to dig up old pieces of leather there.
The Penobscot Indians once visited our stream every year, camping downstream from our house, to gather grasses and make baskets. Later, a commercial cranberry business was established along the stream where we still pick cranberries every fall.
An old gentleman who lived in Auburn used to visit us every year. He’d been born in the “borning room” that’s now at the end of our living room. He’d tell me stories about growing up here and I’d write them down. Adam Fisher has inspired me to get these digitized and safely stored. I’m also going to advocate for doing the same thing at our town library which has a lot of historical information and records.
I just finished a fascinating book, Reading Rural Landscapes, written by Robert Sanford and published by Tilbury House in Thomaston. Sanford is a professor at the Muskie School at USM and the book is billed as “A Field Guide to New England’s Past.” Essentially, Sanford tells us how to interpret the things we see all around us, from cemeteries to cellar holes.
I was particularly enthralled by his chapters on stone walls, posts, and other fences. I’ve found barbed wire embedded in trees on my woodlot and learned from Sanford that, “Wire fences were not used in northern New England until the advent of barbed wire and the demise of ready sources of wood for rail fencing. Barbed wire was patented in the early 1870s and quickly found its way into New England pastures soon after.” So, my woodlot used to be pasture. Also, thanks to Sanford, I now know that I’ve got to get out there and actively maintain the stone walls on our property.
He offers lots of ways to figure out the history of our rural landscapes by the types of trees and other vegetation growing there. But I was most interested in his chapter on bricks and brickyards. I learned so much about bricks, including how to tell when they might have been made.
Many of the bricks used in houses and other buildings in our area were made in the woods right beside our house. The forest floor is covered in rejected bits of bricks and even some that are whole. Apparently there is a good bit of clay there, at the outlet of Minnehonk Lake. Sanford reported that, “The very earliest brickyards were at the site of the clay deposits and used a covered outdoor firing process rather than a kiln. Even if there was a kiln, it seldom survived unless the brickyard continued into modern times.”
Now, I can stop looking for a kiln out there in the woods. I thought I had found it, but now I think that spot is really a dump pile of “klinkers,” rejected bricks that “may have settled over the years and have some hardy plants and trees growing on it, but it may still be a mound.” That’s exactly what I found.
You may be surrounded by history too. Are you doing enough to capture and preserve that history?


Lily’s happiness has never been so bright and her smile has never been so wide.
Yet, the truth of the matter is: Her illness is worsening and the stability of health is now at risk.
Lily has begun listening to the ticking of her maternal clock. But her health may not make having a baby a possibility.
Through adversity, they remain in love and as her frailty makes her need for his care a necessity, she falls victim to the reality that, though their love is stronger than anything else, her body is human.
Zeke and Lily: Resolutions (Part One) is the 7th book in the series and shows the power we possess when life deals us a hand we can’t possibly win.
But for Zeke and Lily, they remain strong through weakness:
Standing still together.
For the Long Haul.

The Power of Citizenship: Why John F. Kennedy Matters to a New Generation
By Scott D. Reich
The Power of Citizenship is a call to civic duty and leadership in the spirit of John F. Kennedy’s legacy. Fifty years after JFK’s death, we find ourselves enmeshed in an era of political division and cynicism, where politicians talk past one another and the spirit of “ask not what your country can do for you—ask what you can do for your country” is less visible than it should be. We seem to have forgotten that we’re all on the same team. Fortunately, Scott D. Reich has given us The Power of Citizenship, a timely book to bring us back on track.

Müller's Map of Bohemia
Jan Kryštof Müller began to create his map of Bohemia in 1712, again - like the map of Moravia - on the grounds of an imperial patent. The map was finished in 1722, almost a year after Müller's death
Müller's Map of Moravia
Müller's map of Moravia was created on the grounds of a Josef I. patent. Its purpose was to map roads and toll boundaries for the country government's use.
Along with the map of Bohemia this map is an important source of informations about the changes in moravian and bohemian countryside at the beginning of 18th century.

3rd Military Survey 1 : 25 000
3rd Military Survey was conducted as a result of lost war with Prussia. This conflict showed 2nd Military Survey maps as out of date and unable to supoprt modern military campaign. The resulting survey campaign started in 1869 and lasted until 1885. Its product - 3rd Military Survery maps - became the longest activelly used and one the most important map sets in czech lands.
The new maps abandonded the 1:28 800 scale of its predecessors and used scale 1:25 000. and changed the map layout - the surveyed area was divided according to geographical grid into so called topographic sections (displaying and areas of 15´ in longitude and 7´30´´ in latitude).
Originals of topographic sections were coloured, but they were reproduced only in shades of grey by photography or photolitography
Special maps of 3rd Military Survey 1 : 75 000
Special maps of 3rd Military Survey were maps derived from 3rd Military Survey 1:25 000. They were published shortly after their source maps - between years 1874 and 1880. These maps were continuously updated and published, sometimes in colour, until year 1920. As a result these maps exist in a large number of editions covering irregularly the area of contemporary Czech Republic.
These maps stayed in use as official maps of the Czech Republic until 1956.
