Toys in the Attic
When Charlotte and Oscar fell asleep in the attic, they were covered in cobwebs and dust, seemingly forgotten, forever.
Toys in the Attic
by Jules de Jongh
Season 2 Episode 46
[opening theme music and strapline]
Nanny Bea: Tea for two thousand and two thousand for tea, it’s that time again, my neighbour Jules will be here with a story any…
Nanny Bea: minute now.
Nanny Bea: Oh, it seems someone is knocking at my door. Who could that be? Hello, who is it?
Jules: Hello Nanny Bea, it’s your neighbour Jules with a story.
Nanny Bea: Yes it is you and you’ve come in the nic of time, our listening friends have just arrived and the tea is ready..
Jules: Well that’s good news because I’ve always got a tale for you and today it’s all about some toys that were forgotten. Are you ready for a story?
Nanny Bea: Oh, yes please.
Jules: Okay then, Toys in the Attic, adapted for radio
Under the layers of dust laced with cobwebs there was a box, a plain cardboard box with top flaps folded over each other, one over, one under and so on until it buckled shut. It was tucked neatly away into the eaves where the roof meets the wall easily forgotten in the full time shadows.
Being forgotten wouldn’t be so bad if it were full of last decades bills or moth eaten clothes but this box was filled with irreplaceable memories, laughter and cuddles. It said so in not so many words along the longest sides, ‘Treasured Toys’ written in blue ink that had faded to grey.
One nearly winter’s day, when the Peterson family was moving it’s life from California to Tennessee, Mother Peterson offered to be in charge of packing. That made sense as whenever an item was lost, even though not by her, she was the one to find it, as if the missing item sent out a secret distress signal only mother could somehow hear over the echoing ‘Mom, where’s my (insert object here)’ down the halls. This super power combined with her desire to have a place for everything and everything in its place, made her the perfect packing chief. Although none of the other Petersons were converts to her passion, one by one the children grew up and grew out of their California home, to start their futures in the big wide world. With each relocation the Peterson home grew tidier and tidier and packing became easier and easier.
Mother saved every delivery box over the next few months and made a habit of picking up sturdy subjects each time she did the weekly shop. ‘No point buying what’s freely available,’ she would say when father teased her about her box hoarding habit. But really he was pleased she was so resourceful.
Mother Peterson wrapped every breakable in newspaper and stuffed stuff between the fragile items. She was fully aware of the attic and it’s box collection already packed up and ready to be moved on moving day. The movers were instructed to ‘Clear the attic,’ which they thought they did but clearly didn’t as the box marked ‘treasured toys’ in faded ink remained.
The old Peterson house remained empty for a few months until finally the Othersons moved in. Mr Otherson had plans for the attic. He would convert it into a studio for his photography hobby that he wanted to grow into his work. He personally inspected every nook and cranny in the attic and of course came across the ‘treasured toys’ box. He wiped away the cobwebs and dusted off the dust, then unbuckled the top flaps to reveal the memories, laughter and cuddles left inside, but all he saw was a round golden bear and a solid plastic dinosaur with a collection of trinkets, he considered rubbish. He was about to throw it all away when he thought he heard a small voice begging, ‘Please play with us.’ He looked back inside the box but this time he lifted out that round golden bear and really saw her, she had fur that curled on the ends and beautiful button brown eyes. Her smile was full of mischief and her arms extended outwards ready for a hug or a cartwheel, he couldn’t be sure of which. Around her neck she had a necklace with a charm engraved with the name ‘Charlotte’. And around her leg was the tail of a dinosaur, solid and full of colour. He was roaring and never seemed to tire of it. From the look of him, he’d played long and hard. His paint was worn off in places but on the underside of this foot you could just make out the name Oscar etched across it. Mr Otherson could no longer bring himself to dispose of Charlotte and Oscar, instead he gently placed them back inside and left the box where he’d found it.
Charlotte and Oscar waited in that box, wide awake after theory dust covered sleep. ‘Look what I can do!’ Charlotte said to the dinosaur as she tried to entertain him. She was a musical theatre bear so she could sing, she could dance and as a bonus she could do the splits without splitting. Oscar got so excited he’d run to her for a cuddle and nearly knock her to the ground. He had a lot to say, even if you couldn’t quite make out what, it’s not always easy to speak clearly when you’re a little dinosaur.
With all that running around Oscar became very hungry. He dreamed of heart shaped cheerios and otter pops. They had neither but Charlotte had wisely stuffed a few carmel filled chocolates in her pockets which she kindly shared with Oscar.
After what felt like forever and a day, Mr Otherson opened the box again, this time with stuff to start stuffing all around them, like he was tucking them safely into bed. They hadn’t had a sleepy time snuggle in so long they couldn’t help but drift quickly off to…(snore).
When Charlotte and Oscar woke up, it was obvious they weren’t in California any more, the mountains knelt down to hills, the babbling brooks sprawled out into rambling rivers. Their box had been opened again but this time by a familiar face, Mother Peterson who was overjoyed when she saw Charlotte and Oscar, ‘I thought you were lost forever!’ Mother cried and she literally cried. Tears like raindrops rolled down her cheeks but they fell off a happy face not a sad one. Charlotte and Oscar were confused.
Just then Mother’s eldest son entered the room holding what Charlotte and Oscar discovered was his eldest son, Benjamin. Now Benjamin was confused. He looked at Charlotte the bear ready to do a cartwheel, he looked at Oscar the dinosaur and his mighty roar. He couldn’t choose between them.
‘They’re both yours,’ said Grandmother Peterson or Oma as her grandchild called her. Benjamin scooped Charlotte and Oscar up in one sweep and hung onto them until he went to sleep for this night and the next and the next, all through his little years. Together they gathered more memories, more laughter and more cuddles until Charlotte and Oscar were overflowing.
Nanny Bea: Why thank you Jules. I must look into my attic again, once upon a time there was an entire bear village up there. They were very private though so I left them to it.
Jules: Bears can make a lot of noise.
Nanny Bea: Oh not nearly as much as the dinosaurs living in my cellar.
Jules: You have dinosaurs in your cellar!
Nanny Bea: Shhhh, only little ones but they are very shy, we don’t want to scare them off.
Jules: Of course not. Well I will be back next week for more Tales and Tea.
Thomas: Go to NannyBea.com
Jules: Go there to find out about all our stories and how to be on the show with a story seed or a wonder word. And do tell your friends about us. See you next week for more Tales and Tea.

NEW ISSUE! - Vallum 12:1 "SURRENDER" is available now!
There are many ways in which surrender manifests: joy, despair, a willingness to give up one’s “totality” for someone or something other than ourselves. We surrender to vices, to glory, to the divine, or to the void. In this issue, poets such as Christopher Levenson, Tim Lilburn, Pamela Porter, Paul Vermeersch, and Leland James, along with artist Maya Flore ask: what does it mean to bend, to yield?Don’t miss out on this new installment of exciting international and Canadian poetry – order the issue, or renew your subscription HERE!

Vallum...an eclectic and colorful collection of original art,
poetry, and essays that unravel the world from bizarre and
fantastic perspectives ... a refreshing variety of style and
range of voice."
"What rewards and satisfies the most about the poems in
Vallum is their use of language. I don’t know how often I’ve
read a journal containing poems of the same style that might
have been written by the same poet. This is not true of Vallum
where language is witty, startling, sardonic, obscene, often
(and I can’t believe I’m using this word) - lovely."

magazines in the country. The layout and design are fantastic,
and the full-colour artwork is magnificent, both complementing
the fabulous writing...a fabulous magazine, with the quality of
a fine book."

I am listening to the book American Spinx by Joseph Ellis. It is about Jefferson.
In the book Ellis talks about a rule Jefferson had for dealing with the British and his mistrust of them toward the former colonies during this time. I believe he could have used this to describe most of WSB.
Excerpt from the book, in the chapter discussing Jeffersons’s time in Paris between 1784-89:
“Jefferson claimed he had an infallible rule for deciding what that nation, England, would do on every occasion. It was a simple rule namely, “To consider what they ought to do and to take the reverse of that as what they would assuredly do”. He claimed that by adopting this formula he was never deceived.”
In my opinion, Jefferson was Theta Gang
Good luck to all in 2022

Born in Quebec City, Ms. Lettre left her hometown to complete a bachelor’s degree in Marketing Administration at the Université du Québec à Montréal, where she took root. She was diagnosed with brain cancer in 2008 just after being appointed as Vice President in a major advertising agency. Disappointed by the literature available on the market, she decide to write the book herself, the kind of book she would have liked to have at hand at the time of her diagnosis: A humorous book on the hazards of everyday life, which continues despite the illness and treatments.
This is how was born «Plus fou que ca…. tumeur!», her very first novel, published by Stanké in 2010.
In 2016, she came up with a second book: «Jack and Joe’s Adventures» on her breast cancer, which started at the same time as she was celebrating the remission of her brain cancer.
It was at this time that she discovered medical cannabis in order to treat the symptoms of cancer and treatments. Impressed by what she discovered, she trained at THC University in Colorado as well as undertook a cooking class in Los Angeles with renowned chef Jeff Danzer.
In 2018, guided by the mission to make medical cannabis more accessible to people who need it, Ms. Lettre created her own medical cannabis clinic, Nature Médic, which has followed to date, more than 1500 patients, thanks to a dozen collaborating doctors and a team of qualified nurses.
Her third book, «Le cannabis médicinal, le connaître et l’utiliser» was published in 2018 by Éditions Trécarré. This is the first book written in French on that subject in Quebec.
She is also a public and health professional lecturer.


Claudia Goldin’s Extensive Research Explores the Gender Pay Gap and the Transformative Journey of Women in the Labor Force.
Claudia Goldin, a 77-year-old Harvard professor, has been awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for her groundbreaking contributions to the understanding of women’s advancement in the labor force. She is the third woman to receive the economics Nobel, which was first established in 1969, and the first to be honored with the prize as a sole laureate, not as part of a shared award.
Dr. Goldin has been a pioneer in her field, achieving several significant milestones, including becoming the first woman to attain tenure in Harvard’s economics department in 1989. Her extensive body of work encompasses an exploration of the factors contributing to the gender wage gap, a comprehensive study of women’s workforce participation trends spanning two centuries, and insightful implications for the future of the labor market.
Why the Committee Chose to Award Her the Prize
The Nobel committee in Stockholm has announced the prestigious Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences, recognizing Dr. Claudia Goldin for her groundbreaking research into female employment trends and the gender wage gap. Dr. Goldin’s pioneering work sheds light on the transformative journey of women in the workforce over the centuries.
Her research has unveiled key insights, revealing that during the 1800s, a shift away from agriculture towards industry led to a decline in employment among married women. However, the 1900s witnessed a resurgence in women’s participation in the job market, coinciding with the growth of the service sector.
Dr. Goldin has singled out the 1970s as a pivotal era in the United States. During this time, women began marrying later, pursuing higher education, and achieving significant advancements in the labor market. The increased availability of birth control pills played a pivotal role in reshaping societal norms, providing women with greater flexibility and more time to establish themselves beyond traditional domestic roles.
Additionally, Dr. Goldin’s research has illuminated the uneven progress in closing the gender wage gap throughout history. While gender wage disparities were once attributed to differences in education and occupation, her findings underscore that today, the earnings gap predominantly exists within the same job roles. Notably, this disparity often becomes pronounced after the birth of a woman’s first child.
Dr. Goldin’s discoveries hold profound societal implications, signaling the need for continued efforts to address gender disparities in the workplace.
Dr. Claudia Goldin’s Response to Winning the Nobel Prize
Dr. Goldin expressed her hope that her research would emphasize the significance of long-term transformations in comprehending the labor market. She emphasized how historical legacies, societal structures, and family dynamics continue to influence people’s behavior and economic outcomes.
She stressed the importance of achieving not just gender equality but also “couple equity,” highlighting that despite significant progress, differences persist, often stemming from unequal domestic responsibilities.
With a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Chicago, Dr. Goldin frequently collaborates with her husband, Lawrence Katz, also an economist at Harvard University.
Dr. Goldin received the news of her Nobel Prize while she was asleep, having briefly risen to attend to her dog before returning to bed. She expressed her delight at the honor.
Regarding her historic achievement as the first woman to win the economics Nobel Prize as the sole laureate, Dr. Goldin saw it as a culmination of years of progress in promoting gender diversity within the field.
Colleagues’ Praise for Dr. Claudia Goldin
Claudia Olivetti of Dartmouth, a co-author of Dr. Goldin’s, emphasized that Dr. Goldin’s work has significantly influenced current research on women and labor markets, with her latest working paper addressing women’s progress in the 1970s and subsequent challenges.
Furthermore, Dr. Goldin has played a vital role as a mentor to aspiring female economists, inspiring and guiding them in a predominantly male-dominated field.
Leah Boustan, a Princeton professor and former student of Dr. Goldin, acknowledged the profound impact of her work on labor economics. She noted that Dr. Goldin’s research continues to inspire ongoing studies exploring the complex intersections of marriage, contraception, and labor market choices over time.
In summary, Dr. Claudia Goldin’s contributions to the field have left a lasting legacy and continue to shape contemporary research and mentorship in economics.

Brian Solis, award-winning author of "The End of Business as Usual," will speak about his most recent book titled "[What's the Future] of Business? Changing the Way Businesses Create Experiences." His latest book explores in a fun, visual, and insightful way how connected consumerism breaks down into Four Moments of Truth - the role of technology in decision-making, how businesses need to create experiences that mean something in each stage, as well as, spark engagement between consumers based on those experiences. WTFB takes readers on an uplifting journey to help them bring about change from the inside out. The end result demonstrates how experience-design amplifies customer relationships, drives word of mouth, and fosters organic advocacy. The point is that experiences can often trump your product or service.

He also works with executive management and social media leadership to develop new strategies and align teams around initiatives that enable business objectives and priorities. Over the years, Brian has also led new media business and marketing efforts for Web 2.0 startups and celebrities.
Brian Solis is globally recognized as one of the most prominent thought leaders and published authors in new media. His new book, What's the Future of Business (WTF), explores the landscape of connected consumerism and how business and customer relationships unfold and flourish in four distinct moments of truth. His previous book, The End of Business as Usual, explores the emergence of Generation-C, a new generation of customers and employees and how businesses must adapt to reach them. Prior to End of Business, Solis released Engage, which is regarded as the industry reference guide for businesses to market, sell and service in the social web.


I’m reading Jo Walton‘s Livejournal, and here’s the thing: I hardly read any more. I mean, I read things in the bookstore, but generally only from authors I already know I like; the last author I officially got into was Jim Butcher (and whoever they have ghost-writing the “Richard Castle” books, but that hardly counts; those are potato chip books par excellence, plus there are only two of them).
It’s weird, because I used to never go anywhere without a book. I’d smuggle them in my coat sleeves, if I had to. These days, not so much. It’s not just a matter of money, because I rarely even pick things up in the library. I’m not sure what’s up, except a vague feeling that I just don’t have time to read, which is fairly nonsensical.


The Thursday Book Club meets on the first Thursday of each month, rotating between the home of members.
The selected book is discussed along with other issues arising and related to the theme of the book are explored.
Following the discussion a scrumptious afternoon tea is served.
The emphasis of the Book Club is on literary enjoyment along with social interaction.
The next Book Club will be held on Thursday 5th OCTOBER at the Bendigo Bank, East Ringwood at 2.00 p.m.
We will discuss the Joy Luck Club by Amy Tan, which explores the similarities and differences of four Chinese families adapting to a new society

The dark, forbidding alleys of our ruined cityscapes; the hopeless lives of brutalized whores, amoral hit-men, and vengeful victims of violence-these are the landscapes and characters that fill the stories, poems, and prose-poems of Joseph S. Pulver, Sr. in his first collection. And yet, there is a strange and intoxicating beauty to Pulver’s creations, for they transport the reader out of the mundane and into the unearthly by the effortless stroke of a dazzling metaphor. Many of Pulver’s stories are innovative riffs on the enigmatic mythology of The King in Yellow, pregnant with the demonic witchery of the original. With this collection, Pulver has placed himself in the forefront of contemporary fantasy and horror literature.
Excerpt from – Blood Will Have Its Season

Praise for Blood Will Have Its Season
“Some writers one admirers and others make one want to do as they do, or try. For me, Joe Pulver is of the latter type. His imagination is so vile so much of the time that it makes me giggle with amazement. And the prose so deadly visionary. I’m grateful that the pieces in this collection are those of a fellow horror writer who has raised the ante on what it means to be such a creature.”
– Thomas Ligotti, author of The Consipiracy Against The Human Race
“Joe Pulver’s BLOOD WILL HAVE IT’S SEASON. Is it Joe’s work or is it the characters within the work that are speaking out, using Joe’s pen as their voice? I’m inclined to believe the latter. To the point, I wasn’t reading someone else’s material as a detached casual outside observer seated in a chair with coffee or wine and pipe (alright, coffee or wine: I no longer smoke). I found myself a part of the narrative, ducking the knife wielding maniacs, chasing the old woman down the alleys, on the beat with the Chandler/Queen/Spillane investigators, albeit, with a coloring of the supernatural.
Yes, the characters contained in these pages have a life of their own. They have chosen Joe Pulver to tell THEIR story. He’s done them justice, and that’s a good thing for his sake. Else I wonder his fate should he NOT have told their story in a manner satisfactory to them. Perhaps a messenger of the King, if not the King himself, would have come calling.
So, an excellent voice given to a diverse collection of characters. Pull their masks off and read the stories etched on their faces. And should you feel the pain of a twisting knife blade, or a veil of madness begin to settle over you, then you too are a part of the narrative and perhaps in time you will be called home to far dim Carcosa. I know the inhabitants are awaiting Joe. And so is the King.”
– by Ran Cartwright
“Joe gave me this book in electric form at last year’s H. P. LOVECRAFT FILM FESTIVAL — and I read half of it, wanting to save the rest so as to read it in actual book form. Joe’s readings at the Lovecraft Film Festival have left people stunned by the beauty and power of his work — and this collection, long-overdo, is a firm and solid testimony of a writer with rare vision, dark visions laced with brutality and blood. S. T. Joshi, who is not easily pleased, has been stunned by this writer’s new work. I sat next to S. T. as we listened to Joe reading last year, and S. T. murmured, “Remarkable, remarkable.” I look forward to seeing Joe next month in Portland, Oregon at the next Lovecraft Film Festival, at which he and I will exchange new books of our weird fiction. If I seem to vanish during the H. P. Lovecraft Film Festival this year, you can pretty well assume that I am locked in my hotel room — reading BLOOD WILL HAVE ITS SEASON, or cowering from the visions it has provoked. A fantastic talent of outstanding grace and power!”
– Wilum Hopfrog Pugmire, author of The Tangled Muse
“I have been a fan or Mr. Pulver’s writing for many years, having had the treat of reading his novel Nightmare’s Disciple in manuscript, whereupon I immediately contacted my colleagues at Chaosium to insist they publish it. They did. It was a remarkable work, simultaneously destroying and exploiting many cliches one often encounters in Cthulhu Mythos (and/or Lovecraftian) fiction. I often paused to reflect that Pulver’s competitors would never dare try a certain trick again, since Pulver’s performance was an act impossible to follow, and/or since they’d wonder why it never occurred to them to do it this well. I can only ascribe the occasional bad reviews of Nightmare’s Disciple to a misguided distaste (almost theological in nature) for the genre which Pulver fulfilled and transformed. But even these critics seem to have caught up with me in my celebration of this author’s talents on display in his new short story collection, Blood Will Have Its Season.
From the earlier book I already recognized Pulver’s genius in his ability to shape-shift stylistically between Raymond Chandler and Thomas Ligotti–without your even noticing! Like the gospel demon, his name ought to be Legion, since he assumes a new voice and persona as every particular chapter or sequence requires. In the new book, Pulver’s polyphonic gifts mutate to a new and even more powerful pitch. The short scope of these many works allows him to write less leisurely, more rapid-fire. The author possesses another unique gift. The only way I know to describe it is to say that he combines the headlong, violent pace and savage sensibilities of Robert E. Howard with the refined and baleful mood of Robert W. Chambers and Tom Ligotti, and all this in an intricate, almost blank verse poetic diction. There is nothing like it! It sounds, indeed reads, like a living contradiction in terms! The result is a deep dark forest of wonders, containing both monsters and molesters, both angels and devils.
– Robert M. Price
“The prose of Joe Pulver can take its place with that of the masters of our genre-Poe, Lovecraft, Campbell, Ligotti-while his imaginative reach is something uniquely his own.”
– From S. T. Joshi’s Foreword
“Blood Will Have Its Season is an ambitious debut […] obviously influenced by H.P. Lovecraft and Robert W. Chambers, for the most part Pulver uses their influences to create potent tales of his own. A writer to keep an eye on.”
– Ellen Datlow, Multi award winning editor
“In this innovative, hypnotic collection, Joseph S. Pulver, Sr. has proven himself to be a perversely masterful sculptor of our dreams.”
– Jeffrey Thomas, author of Punktown
“Joe Pulver is a dark star is the merciless cosmos of weird fiction. His work is as brutal as it is beautiful.”
– Wilum H. Pugmire, author of The Tangled Muse
“In an earlier day I feel sure Joe Pulver would have been arrested for writing some of the stuff in this collection. Maybe he will be yet! How can he write, with such intricate delicacy, thunderous prose that fairly rips up the pages it is printed on? I wish I knew!”
– Robert M. Price, author of Blasphemies and Revelations, editor of “Crypt of Cthulhu”
“Whatever your expectations may be, check them at the door. Pulver has a truly unique style for the horror genre, and this collection of short stories is a perfect vehicle for this sort of style . . . Pulver is an original.”
– Rick Kleffel’s The Agony Column
“There’s a mighty storm coming to rip up the world you know and tear a hole in all you believe. That storm’s name is Joseph S. Pulver, Sr., and I pity anyone who dares stands in his way.”
– Simon Strantzas, author of Nightingale Songs and Beneath the Surface
“While some may find scholar S.T. Joshi’s claim in his introduction that Pulver “can take his place with that of the masters of our genre” (including Poe and Lovecraft) a trifle hyperbolic, all will agree that Pulver is a writer to watch. (Dec.)”
– Publisher’s Weekly
“A collection of stories ranging from the darkly poetical to the grittily gruesome. This is — along with the anthology Lovecraft Unbound and two Sesqua Valley books by W. H. Pugmire — the best horror book that I’ve read in 2009. In Blood Will Have Its Season, Joe Pulver fulfills the promise he gave a decade ago in his novel, Nightmare’s Disciple, displaying to the fullest his many facets as a writer. Highly recommended — and do watch out for future tales from this man.”
– Martin Anderson

Reviews for Blood Will Have Its Season
Blood Will Have Its Season is a collection of 41 short stories and poetry by acclaimed author Joseph S. Pulver. The book begins with a forward from editor and Lovecraft Scholar S.T. Joshi. He informs us that Joe has finally found his voice in short story form… and I agree. I was impressed with what I heard and read of Mr. Pulver’s work prior to BWHIS — but now I am simply in awe.
Some short story collections read a little like a portfolio of the author’s work. Each story is different in style and often genre as well. This collection was cohesive and although each story was very different, I didn’t feel like I ever stepped outside of the universe Mr. Pulver created.
Joe incorporates the mythos of other strange tale authors – like Lovecraft or Chambers – into his universe, but you never feel as if he is rehashing the same tales. These are new and wholly different. Currently my favorite stories in the collection are “PITCH nothing…” – a cautionary tale about the power of books and “Lovecraft’s Sentence” – a story about a hack and his meeting with a certain specter. Both are examples of everything I love about the strange tale genre.
Pulver has a way of immediately drawing you into his world – and holding you prisoner as you go (willingly) into the dark abyss of his imagination. I was captivated by the haunting poetry of his prose. There are few who can write horror in such a way that you become enamored with the beauty – Lovecraft, Chambers, Poe… I will now be adding Pulver to this list. Thank you for the beautiful nightmares sir.
This is the best short story collection I have read in a very long time. I recommend this book to anyone who likes Strange Tales, Horror, Short Stories or Dark Poetry – it is a wonderful, spellbinding trip (that I have taken twice already) through the darkest reaches. I give this book a 5 out of 5!
– She Never Slept – Thoughts on “Blood Will Have Its Season”, September 10, 2010
I have just finished rereading Blood Will Have Its Season by Joseph S. Pulver,Sr. and experienced ,again,what got to me the first time: the internal soundtrack that comes out when reading his prose.To compliment a writer in this way may seem strange, but for a rock and jazz fan such as myself this is the best vocabulary that I can come up with in describing this collection of scenarios. I can hear Alice Cooper, for example, when reading “A Night of Moon and Blood, then Holstenwall”. He named cats after Robert Fripp and Grace Jones in “Lovecraft’s Sentence”. He writes raw and blood rare, and I bet the next reader will also hear music of their own score come together the further in they go.

Novels by M.J. Brett Stories based on real-life incidents
I write stories based on real-life incidents
History Mystery Comedy Novels by M.J. Brett
M.J. Brett (a.k.a. Margaret J. Brettschneider) has written ten novels of ordinary people caught in extraordinary circumstances. All are based on true stories from real life. Each character must find a way to overcome their most difficult problems, just as we all must.
Hopefully, you will find something here that may enrich your understanding, make you laugh or cry at our human condition, or give you some enjoyment of the intricacies of all our lives.
Living with History
Somehow we all find history more interesting when we can identify with someone who lived through it. That‘s why I prefer to write historical fiction stories: of times we may have misunderstood, of things that made us curious, of events I felt “needed” to be told, or of the unending variety of emotion and error in all human relationships.
I like to camouflage identities to protect the guilty and the innocent. Journey with a mother trying to protect her children as they walk across Europe during World War II in Mutti’s War. Live on the notorious communist vs, free world border during the Cold War in Shadows on an Iron Curtain.
What do we need to understand about growing older in Dancing in the W ind, wrestling with prejudice in Stand Silent, Stand Free, or trying to kick a habit in Street Smart on a Dead End?
Help solve a real cold case crime in Truth Lies Six Foot Under, and face the difficult decisions of a military officer caught in the web of Between Duty and Devotion.
Laugh as you travel the world while “accident-pronezz” in Mama Told Me Not to Come, and learn to forgive with an abandoned child in IThink I Can, I Think I Can.
The tenth novel is about dealing with PTSD, or the newer term, PTS. With over 150 interviews and two years of research, The Voices Know My Name offers understanding and hope, maybe to friends you know.
I hope you will enjoy reading these novels and perhaps finding some understanding of our human condition through each character’s response to challenge.
I have found that it is not what life does to us that matters. It is how we respond to these episodes of life, both good and bad, that make us human and make life worth living.

1-11-1813 1st pineapples planted in Hawaii (or 1/21) The date pineapple (Ananas comosus var. comosus) was introduced to Hawaii is not known, but its presence was first recorded in 1813. When American missionaries first arrived in Hawaii in 1820, pineapple was found growing wild and in gardens and small plots. The pineapple canning industry began in Baltimore in the mid-1860s and used fruit imported from the Caribbean. The export-based Hawaii pineapple industry was developed by an entrepreneurial group of California migrants who arrived in Hawaii in 1898 and the well-connected James D. Dole who arrived in 1899.
1-11-1892 Hawaiian Historical Society founded
Late in December of 1891, a group of men, aware of living in historic times, met to organize a historical society. This they did after the new year and welcomed 21 or 22 new members. While principally haole in membership, as numbers grew, the Society attracted a broader group, including such notables as the Rev. Jiro Okubo, a Japanese Christian, and F. J. Testa, Hawaiian activist and newspaper man–and Queen Lili‘uokalani! Charles Reed Bishop served as its first president–financier, banker, and husband to Princess Bernice Pauahi, the founder of the Kamehameha Schools. By the end of January 1892, there were 106 new members. By 1897 there were 316 members, plus corresponding members from Japan, Samoa, New Zealand and elsewhere. The Society met at the Honolulu Library and Reading Room for quarterly programs and papers presented on wide-ranging subjects. The Society moved to its present location, at 560 Kawaiaha‘o St., across from Kawaiaha‘o Church in 1950. The Hawaiian Historical Society’s mission remains the same today–to study, collect, and preserve the history of Hawai‘i, Polynesia, and the Pacific area. Outstanding collections include original manuscripts, books, maps, and prints. The library holds early Hawaiian newspapers, accounts of Pacific voyages, and many other subjects. The reading room and library are open to the public five days a week. Quarterly public programs are on such topics as Kaho‘olawe, the railroads of Hawai‘i, and the history of Honolulu Harbor. The Society has achieved a record of outstanding publications, including the annual Hawaiian Journal of History.

About the Book
Title: Zoysana’s Choice
Author: Gordon A. Long
Discovered as a child living alone in the forest and growing up an orphan of mixed parentage, but under the protection of the king’s youngest son, Zoe is appreciated for her own merit by everyone, from the royal family to the lowest kitchen wench. But her secure nest is shattered by conflict in the king’s family, and soon she will have to decide where her loyalties lie.
She flees to her former home in the mountains, where she finds many answers, but not to the questions she is asking.
Then she is offered the chance to visit Kyabra, the home of her grandfather, to learn about that ancient culture.
But all of these travels come to naught when she hears of war at home, and she returns to Petrella to be faced with a decision that could stop a war and change the lives of thousands, but only at the greatest personal cost.
This is the first published work of a 7-book saga of standalone novels tied together by characters and setting. Books 4 to 7 are sequential, and Books 1 to 3 happen 400 years earlier.

It is March is reading month. I have just finished reading Fish in a Tree by Lynda Mullaly Hunt. WE LOVED IT. For the month of March we are trying to read 31 books in 31 days and I chose Thank You, Mr. Falker by Patricia Pollacco on Storyline Online.
For each story, we list it on our poster and then write the message next to it. After finishing this book, one of my most unlikely students raised his hand and said, ” That book is just like Fish in a Tree.” I was pleasantly surprised and asked him to go on and explain. ” They both had a teacher who saw what they needed and helped them. By the end, they could both read.” Wow! This is from a student who looks disconnected most of the time. Someone who complains and fusses over almost every assignment. He. Got. It.
Such joy comes to my heart. We do what we do because we love it. I will never back down on high-quality literature with my 5th graders. There is always a place for that. Without that type of understanding and elevation, who are we as people?


Sir Chris Wormald introduces the 22nd edition of Civil Service Quarterly. The lead item is a new interview with Cabinet Secretary and Head of the Civil Service Sir Mark Sedwill, while other articles focus on subjects ranging from the National Security Council, a decade after its creation, to how UK Research and Innovation is changing the way research is funded.
Sir Chris Wormald introduces the 21st edition of Civil Service Quarterly. Articles range from how we safeguard public records in the digital age, to strengthening democracy in the world at a time when democracy is no longer an 'easy sell', and marking a decade of successes for behavioural insights in developing public policy.
Sir Chris Wormald introduces the 20th edition of Civil Service Quarterly, which features several articles focusing on the work of the Civil Service to prepare for the UK's withdrawal from the European Union.
Chris Wormald introduces the 19th edition of Civil Service Quarterly, and pays tribute to the late Lord Heywood, whose idea CSQ was.
The 18th edition of Civil Service Quarterly takes as its broad theme, public sector efficiency - from major infrastructure projects, to reform of the justice system, and government measures to counter fraud.
In this the 17th edition of Civil Service Quarterly, we consider the role of cross-government functions in supporting improvements in the delivery of policy and services. For example, we look at how the Commercial Function helped government tackle the collapse of Carillion; and how collaboration between multiple departments and agencies was critical to the clean-up after the Salisbury nerve agent attack.
Take our readership survey and help us improve your Civil Service Quarterly.

Welcome to this special Diversity & Inclusion edition of Civil Service Quarterly, introduced by Civil Service Diversity & Inclusion Champion Sue Owen.


Final Project | Research, Brainstorming, Concept Sketches
Research & Inspiration
In order to start the process of narrowing down what I wanted to explore in my final project, I needed to first get inspired by the flow of the readings we have digested this semester and other current “grey-literature” (hate that term) that has been published, reflecting some of the major breakthroughs, possibilities, and concerns at the intersection of design and technology today and moving forward into the 21st century.
That sounds like a huge statement, but honestly in order for me to feel inspired, I first have to get really excited, or really angry about something. Several times throughout the year I have felt this way, both for the good and the bad. I wanted to go back and remember what these things were, why they made me excited/pissed of, and how I thought I could expose them to provoke attention and/or redesign them or part of them.
To begin, I went back over several readings including “Leverage Points: How to Intervene in a System” by Donatella Meadows, Rainbow’s End by Vernor Vinge (a book I found particularly inspiring this semester in terms of extrapolating current trends toward techno-futures), and the most current readings assigned “Why Twitter is Dying(And What you can Learn from It” and
“A Feminism Where ‘Lean In’ Means Leaning On Others”
I also picked up two books from the library – yes library – when visiting my Mom on Long Island last week (miss my hometown library so much!!!) that have been inspirational in different ways. The first is called Reference Shelf: The Digital Age and is a selection of stories from news, media, magazines, websites, and somewhat academic (although definitely not peer-reviewed) pieces. It seeks to identify some of the biggest current technological trends shaping our culture today, examine the good and bad of the change, and pull in related current articles (all within last few years) that take various stances on the issue. I liked this book because it helped me to pull together some of the topics that interest me into mental frameworks/themes. The other book Press Start to Play, a collection of short stories based on video games, was somewhat for fun, but ended up also being very inspirational in a more thought-provoking “what if” kind of way.
One thing we have learned this semester is how to pull ourselves through brainstorming exercises. After reading all my books and articles, I was brimming with ideas and needed to get them organized. So I set to narrowing everything down.
- First I went through each of the readings and wrote down, by hand quotes and ideas that inspired me – it just works better on real paper, and I felt it an ironic but appropriate counterpoint to the topic at hand.
- Next I read through all of these ideas, set my kitchen timer for 5 minutes and proceeded to just write down whatever came to mind about these topics on post-its, adding them to my kitchen wall decor.
- After this, I took a couple of the best quotes from my readings, mostly just provocative statements, and added them to the mix.
- I then tried to get organized, rearranging the ideas under some common headings and issue areas
- Next I did another 2-minute short brainstorm, and from the topics and ideas on the wall, tried to come up with research questions I could explore for my final.
- Finally, I added the questions to the wall (I managed 3 that I liked) and rearranged the notes I needed around each to get some directions for further exploration
Check out the process in the below gallery.
Next I did a quick domain mapping exercise to see how I could frame my research question in terms of current academic domains and communities of practice.
At the end of the day, I could only pick one area to focus on, and I liked the idea of looking at how we construct our own digital identities in new technological ecosystems that are based on the sale of our data to corporate interests for targetted advertising. It was sort of a combination of how we construct our own digital identities, and how we are profiled through our online and increasingly in-person activities.
I am studying the intersection of Psychology, Sociology & Information Science because I want to explore how we understand virtual identities when our data is owned and controlled by competing corporate interests.
I want to better understand how we define our sense of “self” virtually versus how our virtual (and increasingly biological) data defines us to those that collect it, in order to make users think about what their data says about them, and which is the more accurate representation of who they really are.
As advised, I set out to see what the precedents were across mediums and domains, in exploring my research question and issue areas. I found several pieces which can be referenced in my presentation below, but I will pull out one talk here that I particularly liked.
“Fake It to Control Your Digital Identity” – TedxOxford – Pernille Tranberg
I was particularly struck by the part of this talk at 3:21 where she discusses how data brokers work and that they have 1500 data points per person for many of their records. I also liked her discussion of the difference between “transparency” and “openness” at 7:30.
- Idea 1: Through a Screen Darkly – Through a Screen Darkly is a digital technology that allows users to see themselves made up of the data points that comprise information collected about them.
- Idea 2: Guess Who Reimagined Guess What is a table-top game that recreates the classic “Guess Who” experience, but only uses characteristics that metadata can track: purchase history, location, preferences.
- Ideas 3:(DE)CODING US (DE)CODING “US” is a short web series designed to introduce young adults/teens to ways in which current digital technologies shape our human experience. It would cover topics such as information, algorithms and data-tracking, remix culture and creativity, cyberpsychology and gamification etc.

I have a deep appreciation for Berenstain Bear books. As a child, I would read and reread these books. I had them at my home and I always checked them out at our local library.
I found this Berenstain Bear School Time Blessings Book at Family Christian. If your kids are like mine, they enjoy reading books about school and school issues. This book is fun and makes school time fun.

eDream has open sourced a digital film we produced to commemorate the Morrill Act of 1862, which democratized higher education in the United States through establishing land grant universities. In just over three minutes the piece draws upon archival images and contemporary video to trace the evolution of the great University of Illinois land-grant tradition from its earliest days to its future promise.
eDream's Morrill Act video was designed to serve as an inspiration for a national conference on higher education, Lincoln and the Morrill Act: The Unfinished Work of Public Universities, held on the campus of the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana from October 23-24, 2009. The conference was a part of the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial celebration. It was organized by the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial Commission, and the Association of Land-Grant and Public Universities.
eDreamers Donna Cox, Jeff Carpeter, Madelin Woods, and Kelly Searsmith created the digital film in collaboration with Pradeep Khanna, Allison Kelly, and Megan Puzey of the Office of Public Engagement.

Robert Browning (1812-1889)Robert Browning was born in Camberwell, London, the son of a well-educated bank clerk. He was taught privately by his father but also studied for two terms at London University.
He wrote poetry from an early age and was strongly influenced by the Romantic poets, particularly Shelley, and by historical events. In 1846 he secretly married Elizabeth Barrett, with whom he had started an enthusiastic literary correspondence two years earlier and they eloped to Florence. Browning returned to England following her death in 1861.
Browning was much fêted in his latter years and would almost certainly have become Poet Laureate but for Tennyson's 42 year tenure. He was a clever lyricist with an insightful, lively style and many of his works such as The Pied Piper of Hamelin, Home Thoughts, from Abroad, and The Lost Leader are still highly popular today.

“When Alfred came to a rise in the path, he looked back for Thomas. He did not see him anywhere. But he did see Harold. The doll was on the roof of the hut again. As Alfred watched, Harold kneeled and stretched out a bloody skin to dry in the sun.” -Alvin Schwartz, “Harold”
Happy Halloween everyone! This week we’re going to have a cartoon theme. Because literature is important, but so is art! So sit back and enjoy the right. Anyway, I know Halloween was yesterday, but I thought you all would appreciate a spooky story for this week’s “Read This!” blog. Anyone remember this? This was my favorite book as a kid! The Scary Stories Treasury by the late, great Alvin Schwartz (illustrations by Stephen Gammell) scared the crap out of me when I was a youngster. And I loved it. It’s actually a collection of all of the Schwartz books, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, and Scary Stories 3: More Tales to Chill Your Bones.
Let’s be honest, the stories were creepy, but what really freaked us all out were the illustrations. That cover art alone is the stuff nightmares are made of.
Some of the stories in this anthology are more goofy than scary, and some are just downright horrifying. If you’re the type that scares easily, I would suggest that you start off with one of the more milder stories, like “The Viper” or “Sam’s New Pet.” There are even copies of sheet music for songs in here, like “The Hearse Song.” (If you check out the video, you can see more of those great illustrations.)
If you’re a little more hardcore and prefer something a little spookier, like me, may I suggest to you “The Wreck” or my personal favorite, “Harold.”
“Harold” is about a demonic scarecrow. I’ll let your imagination handle the rest. Below are my two favorite illustrations, from “Harold” (left) and “The Bride” (right).

The yearbook is a dedicated volume that captures the nostalgic memories of the graduating batch of our Institute.
The beautiful years spent in the Institute are engraved and expressed via photos and writeups which is given as a souvenir of departure from the Institute. Few years down the road when they will walk down the memory lane, the yearbook will be the light which will lit up the faded memories and show the path through the old forgotten ways. The visuals of those old fleeting memories, photographs of their batch-mates, stills from the events that took place, inspiring words from that professor they looked up to and the aroma of the Institute that assisted them to foster their real self lies hidden in the pages of the yearbook. It gives them an opportunity to relive the golden days of their life, a beautiful chapter that always made the preface of their biography.
The Students' Alumni Cell works throughout the year to publish three separate yearbooks, one for each
of the graduating batches of the Undergraduate, Post Graduate and Research Scholar programs.
The Director, the Dean of Alumni Affairs and International Relations, are among many professors
who wish the graduating batches for their lives beyond KGP in their own ways. Sections, dedicated to each of the
departments include a message from the Head of Departments other than mentioning the names and photographs of its graduating students.
The yearbook also showcase all the events that IIT Kharagpur had organized in the preceding year.
Each year, the Students' Alumni Cell strives to make the yearbook as wholesome and complete which could entail the different prospects of life of the alumni.
