Beauty and the Beast was released in China mid March and after watching the wonderful retelling of the classic tale I decided I should read the original story. Gabrielle-Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve is a French author best known for her original story La Belle et la Bête. (Presumably it was written to help prepare young women for arranged marriages, but that puts a whole different level of spin on things.)
The story, most famously adapted to film by Disney in 1991, and now again in 2017, follows a similar plot, though is altered in many significant ways.
The story's main character is introduced only as Beauty, the name she is called through the entire book. She has five sisters and six brothers, and while we don't really hear about her mother, we know her father is a successful merchant and the family is wealthy.
One day, everything goes wrong and the family, who is no longer wealthy, is forced to move to the countryside. When the father gets lost on an unsuccessful business trip he finds himself at the enchanted castle. He picks a rose for Beauty, but is caught in the act by the Beast who tells him he must die unless he brings him one of his daughters.
The Merchant returns to the castle in a month with Beauty who has accepted to take her father's punishment in his stead.
When the Beauty and the Beast get their first after dinner conversation together Beast promptly asks Beauty to marry him and she naturally declines. After drifting off to sleep, Beauty dreams of a handsome prince, the Unknown, who she immediately falls in love with. The next day she finds paintings of the Unknown around the castle.
Beauty's every wish is attended for, yet she continues to decline the daily marriage proposal. Eventually she is allowed to return home for two months to see her family. When she returns she finds Beast starved nearly to death and resolves to accept his marriage proposal when he next asks.
The morning after accepting the proposal Beauty awakes in … Continue Reading →


Congratulations to author and literary agent Sera Rivers, who just signed with Katie Shea Boutillier of Donald Maass Literary for her YA contemporary, JEZEBEL.
1. Can you tell us a little bit about the book for which you’ve found representation? What inspired you to write it?
Fifteen-year-old Sarai Brooks must learn how to break free from the cult’s indoctrination, find faith in herself, and become fierce and brave—like Queen Jezebel—if she is to become the loving parent she never had. JEZEBEL (YA) is based on my experience growing up in the 90s in a patriarchal, fundamentalist cult that represses women, shuns those who leave, and instills the fear that everyone outside the cult will be killed by God’s army. This book was originally conceived as a memoir, THE WICKED ONES, which won the 2016 PEN New England Susan P. Bloom Children’s Book Discovery Award for unpublished work.
JEZEBEL touches upon themes of spiritual abuse, domestic abuse, drug addiction, teen pregnancy, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Like my main character Sarai, I suffer from panic disorder and PTSD from the spiritual and domestic abuse I endured. I was also a teen mom, and like Sarai’s son, my child almost died in childbirth. My hope is to empower young adults in the knowledge that sexuality is a part of being human, that making mistakes does not make you wicked, and that you can choose your own path in life and be successful, despite odds against you.
2. Did you query books before the one you signed with your agent? How many books/how many years? Give us a peek at what your own personal timeline to being agented has looked like.
This is a tricky answer because I first wrote this book as memoir in 2006 for NANOWRIMO. I then revised it on and off for the next ten years. I queried for about two-and-a-half years before I got my first agent in 2016. She has since left agenting.
I then looked to rewrite this as a novel. This fictionalized version took me one year to figure out the plot and then four years to write and revise. I started querying the novel version in early March and signed with my agent at the end of August.
I’ve written professional development books for educational publishers. I’ve written two other novels as well. But this is the first book that got me my agents.
3. You’re an agent yourself, with Speilburg Literary. Do you think you approached querying any differently because of your experience on the other side of the desk? Is there anything about being an agent that changed your perspective on querying?
I would say the only difference about querying now versus querying before I became an agent is my perspective on wait times. It’s easy for me to spiral into negative thinking about my writing: it totally sucks; who would ever want to read my stories, etc. But being an agent really helped me realize that not hearing back from an agent for a long period of time only means one thing: they have not made a decision yet. This could be for many reasons, such as they haven’t had a chance to read the query yet, they’re on vacation or are sick, they’re swamped with client work, or they have read the query and are still considering it. Waiting is so hard, but it’s the nature of publishing. Every step of the way is a waiting game. I still get anxious, but I remind myself how much I love writing, and I would rather wait than not pursue publication.
4. Was there anything you’d point to as a turning point or turning points where you really leveled up your writing?
When I got laid off from my job in 2009 due to the recession, I knew it was time to go back to college to hone my writing craft and transition into a career in the publishing industry. I started volunteering for my regional chapter of SCBWI and spent several years learning everything about writing for children and the business side of publishing.
5. How did you find the agent who eventually offered? (Cold query, contest, introduction from a writing friend, conference, etc.)
When I read Katie Shea Boutillier’s MSWL, I knew we’d be a great match! But she was closed to public queries! Fortunately, another agent forwarded my query to her because they thought the same, and she requested the manuscript.
6. Tell me about the call. How did you know this agent was the right fit for you?
The call was pure magic! Katie got my story, like truly GOT IT! Which was a big deal for me because of how close to my heart this story is. I knew she was the right agent because she checked off all the boxes of what I’m looking for in an agent: communication style, submission and career strategies, editorial feedback, to name a few things. Plus, it was very clear that she would be a fierce advocate for this book.
7. Do you have any favorite resources you’d share to help other writers learn to query successfully?
Writer’s Digest has some great information on querying. Publishers Marketplace is also a valuable resource, though it is subscription based. I have learned so many helpful querying tips over the years! I’ve put everything I’ve learned into a webinar presentation called SEEKING REPRESENTATION: NEXT LEVEL QUERYING. The workshop focuses on how to find the right agent, what to include in a query letter, and what to do when offered representation. I’m teaching this webinar live on September 13 at 7PM EST.
People can sign up here: https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Qo70ITy7QuSJ5wfDrVU5xQ
The recording will be available on demand for registrants who cannot attend the live event.
8. What is your top tip for other querying writers?
Never give up. Be open to—learning, adapting your strategy, revising your manuscript if you receive similar feedback. And also, turn to your writing community for support when you need it.
Sera Rivers is a Literary Agent at Speilburg Literary, an AALA member, and a writer. She holds an MFA in writing for children from Simmons University. Prior to agenting, Sera worked as an editor in educational publishing for seven years. Sera lives in Western Massachusetts with her partner. When she’s not reading, writing, or story slamming, she can be found running all over New England training for her next ultramarathon.
“Working with Michelle was a fantastic experience! She was professional, communicative, and met deadlines. Most of all, she gave an in-depth, detailed review of my novel with specific feedback on how to strengthen weaknesses, such as pacing, consistency issues, and character arc/growth. She also did a stellar job pointing out specific places where trauma was presented in a way that could potentially give the wrong message. Her critique allowed me to move forward with a clear vision for revision. She left no question unanswered. I highly recommend working with Michelle!
I highly recommend Michelle for whole novel critique, feedback on synopsis, and feedback on trauma representation in fiction.”
-Sera Rivers, literary agent and author (YA Contemporary)

Rating: 5/5 stars
Wing Jones is easily already one of my favorite contemporaries ever. Honestly, it deserves to be applauded just for how inclusive and diverse it is. The story itself, is one of those that broke my heart at times but honestly just left me feeling so full. Also, I cried for the first time reading a book in years, so that’s saying something.
Now for those of you who don’t know, Wing Jones is a magical realism/contemporary novel that follows a fifteen year old girl named Wing who is Chinese-African American and she’s sort of always sort of been in the shadow of her ‘perfect’ athletic brother, Marcus. She never really complains, but she’s always felt like she doesn’t have that special thing that he does or even the life that he does and it just sort of seems very out of reach for her. And then, a tragedy strikes her life and she turns to running.
It does have a lot to do with her figuring herself out but at the same time it’s one of those books where family plays a major role. Not to mention, the writing is absolutely breathtaking. I love how the author has written about such heavy topics in a way that doesn’t drag you down. You don’t trudge through the book, instead you fly.
I’d already heard so many great things about this book even before I started it. But I was just expecting a heartwarming contemporary novel that would probably make me smile but also make me a little sad. I was not expecting to connect with the character of Wing as much as I did and I think that really added to how much I enjoyed the book.
Another thing I really enjoyed was the back and forth chatter between Granny Dee and LauLau. There was just something so oddly comforting in it – I mean I know that they’re almost always arguing but it’s very clear that they care immensely about each other.
One of my favorite things about the entire book had to be Wing’s relationship with Eliza. I also just generally love the character of Eliza, she just always seemed so incredibly genuine and not to the point that it was unrealistic. It felt so natural and not like an instant friendship, and getting to see how running became more than just a way for Wing to escape all the chaos that was happening in her life and it gave her a feeling of belonging among the team and with Eliza. It was just so comforting because Wing was finding her place in the world and it wasn’t a place as Marcus’ little sister.
On the romantic aspect of this book – I was really worried that the story would shift to focus on Wing and Aaron as a whole but that didn’t happen. I mean, I loved them together and I was rooting for it since the beginning and when they finally kissed I actually squealed. But I’m so glad that it didn’t all happen at once.
But honestly, the writing. Oh gosh the writing in this book is beautiful, and of course it’s very heavy on metaphors and imagery because it is after all magical realism. It’s nice to see how Wing sees the world: a world where her lioness and her dragon show up when she needs them, and the boy she likes has a laugh like a dozen bumblebees and where when she runs she feels like she’s flying.
All I can really say is just go and pick up this book, because it will make you feel full and you will hurt and you will heal with Wing and her family.
“The clouds have risen, out of my reach, but now I can see the stars and they wink down at me like they’re saying “You go, girl” and I tilt my head back and smile up at them, and I hope that from way up there my smile looks like a bright shiny star winking back at them.”


Personally autographed by request only.
Ages 4-12; 36 page full-cover, character-building children’s paperback book (self-esteem, individuality, courage to be oneself).
Maggie the Magnificent has decided to throw her very first Halloween party. She is very excited to spend an evening with her close friends while meeting those from other planets as well. She is especially curious to meet the residents of Planet Pumpkin. Maggie used to have a pen-pal from Planet Pumpkin who never signed her letters and would never answer any of Maggie’s questions. Eventually she stopped writing to Maggie altogether.
When talking to her best friend Ryan, Maggie begins wo wonder how she is going to get to know the residents from other planets if everyone is wearing a mask. She will have no idea whom she is talking to.
Maggie decides to tell everyone during the party that it is time to take their masks off and get to know each other. Little does she know the surprise that is about to ensue— especially when she is forced to confront the guests from Planet Pumpkin.
Erin Ley’s 36-page character-building children’s book, Maggie Unmasks Planet Pumpkin, is the second book of the Maggie the Magnificent series and has been created to illustrate the importance of self-esteem, individuality, and courage.


Comedians are often some of the most multi-talented people in the entertainment field. With the goal of making us laugh, comedians find themselves not only telling jokes, but singing, dancing, playing the straight man, performing dramatically, miming, and impersonating.
With all of these talents, it’s no surprise that many have found success writing books. If you’re looking for your next favourite book, to keep you entertained, and inspired, do not worry I got you covered.
Below you’ll find 5 books written by professional funny people that will leave you laughing out loud and inspired.

1. I CAN’T MAKE THIS UP – KEVIN HART & NEIL STRAUSS
Superstar comedian and Hollywood box office star Kevin Hart turns his immense talent to the written word by writing some words. Some of those words include: the, a, for, above, and even even. Put them together and you have the funniest, most heartfelt, and most inspirational memoir on survival, success, and the importance of believing in yourself since Old Yeller.
The question you’re probably asking yourself right now is: What does Kevin Hart have that a book also has?
According to the three people who have seen Kevin Hart and a book in the same room, the answer is clear:
A book is compact. Kevin Hart is compact.
A book has a spine that holds it together. Kevin Hart has a spine that holds him together.
A book has a beginning. Kevin Hart’s life uniquely qualifies him to write this book by also having a beginning.
It begins in North Philadelphia. He was born an accident, unwanted by his parents. His father was a drug addict who was in and out of jail. His brother was a crack dealer and petty thief. And his mother was overwhelmingly strict, beating him with belts, frying pans, and his own toys.
The odds, in short, were stacked against our young hero, just like the odds that are stacked against the release of a new book in this era of social media (where Hart has a following of over 100 million, by the way).
But Kevin Hart, like Ernest Hemingway, JK Rowling, and Chocolate Droppa before him, was able to defy the odds and turn it around. In his literary debut, he takes the reader on a journey through what his life was, what it is today, and how he’s overcome each challenge to become the man he is today.
And that man happens to be the biggest comedian in the world, with tours that sell out football stadiums and films that have collectively grossed over $3.5 billion.
He achieved this not just through hard work, determination, and talent: It was through his unique way of looking at the world. Because just like a book has chapters, Hart sees life as a collection of chapters that each person gets to write for himself or herself.
“Not only do you get to choose how you interpret each chapter, but your interpretation writes the next chapter,” he says. “So why not choose the interpretation that serves your life the best?”
2. BOSSYPANTS – TINA FEY
You can’t be Tina Fey, but you can get close to understanding what it is like to be Tina Fey, whose rise seems both hard and easy, probably because she is Tina Fey and equipped with the life, managerial, and comedic skill to do so and make it look easy (or at least make hard work look fun).
Constantly interrupting herself with jokey but relevant life advice (“talent isn’t sexually transmitted”) and self-deprecating one-liners, Fey charts her rise from Pennsylvania nerd to Chicago improv comedian (and employee of the city’s creepiest YMCA), up through SNL, 30 Rock, and motherhood.
In this book Tina Fey takes us back when she eas just a young girl with a dream: a recurring stress dream that she was being chased through a local airport by her middle-school gym teacher.
She also narrates the story about her dream that one day she would be a comedian on TV. She has seen both these dreams come true. At last, Tina Fey’s story can be told. From her youthful days as a vicious nerd to her tour of duty on Saturday Night Live; from her passionately halfhearted pursuit of physical beauty to her life as a mother eating things off the floor; from her one-sided college romance to her nearly fatal honeymoon — from the beginning of this paragraph to this final sentence.
Tina Fey reveals all, and proves what we’ve all suspected: you’re no one until someone calls you bossy. (Includes Special, Never-Before-Solicited Opinions on Breastfeeding, Princesses, Photoshop, the Electoral Process, and Italian Rum Cake!)
3. BORN A CRIME – BY TREVOR NOAH
The compelling, inspiring, and comically sublime story of a young man’s coming-of-age, set during the twilight of apartheid and the tumultuous days of freedom that followed
Trevor Noah is one of the comedy world’s brightest new voices, a light-footed but sharp-minded observer of the absurdities of politics, race, and identity, sharing jokes and insights drawn from the wealth of experience acquired in his relatively young life. As host of The Daily Show with Trevor Noah, he provides viewers in America and around the globe with their nightly dose of biting satire, but here Noah turns his focus inward, giving readers a deeply personal, heartfelt, and humorous look at the world that shaped him.
Noah was born a crime, the son of a white Swiss father and a black Xhosa mother, at a time when such a union was punishable by five years in prison. Living proof of his parents’ indiscretion, Trevor was kept mostly indoors for the first years of his life, bound…
4. THE LAST BLACK UNICORN – TIFFANY HADDISH
From stand-up comedian, actress, and breakout star of Girls Trip, Tiffany Haddish, comes The Last Black Unicorn, a sidesplitting, hysterical, edgy, and unflinching collection of (extremely) personal essays, as fearless as the author herself.
Growing up in one of the poorest neighborhoods of South Central Los Angeles, Tiffany learned to survive by making people laugh. If she could do that, then her classmates would let her copy their homework, the other foster kids she lived with wouldn’t beat her up, and she might even get a boyfriend. Or at least she could make enough money as the paid school mascot and in-demand Bar Mitzvah hype woman to get her hair and nails done, so then she might get a boyfriend.
None of that worked (and she’s still single), but it allowed Tiffany to imagine a place for herself where she could do something she loved for a living: comedy.
Tiffany can’t avoid being funny it’s just who she is, whether she’s plotting shocking, jaw-dropping revenge on an ex-boyfriend or learning how to handle her newfound fame despite still having a broke person’s mind-set. Finally poised to become a household name, she recounts with heart and humor how she came from nothing and nowhere to achieve her dreams by owning, sharing, and using her pain to heal others.
By turns hilarious, filthy, and brutally honest, The Last Black Unicorn shows the world who Tiffany Haddish really is—humble, grateful, down-to-earth, and funny as hell. And now, she’s ready to inspire others through the power of laughter.
5. THE GIRL WITH THE LOWER BACK TATTOO – AMY SCHUMER
The Emmy Award-winning comedian, actress, writer, and star of Inside Amy Schumer and the acclaimed film Trainwreck has taken the entertainment world by storm with her winning blend of smart, satirical humor. Now, Amy Schumer has written a refreshingly candid and uproariously funny collection of (extremely) personal and observational essays.
In The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo, Amy mines her past for stories about her teenage years, her family, relationships, and sex and shares the experiences that have shaped who she is—a woman with the courage to bare her soul to stand up for what she believes in, all while making us laugh.
Ranging from the raucous to the romantic, the heartfelt to the harrowing, this highly entertaining and universally appealing collection is the literary equivalent of a night out with your best friend—an unforgettable and fun adventure that you wish could last forever. Whether she’s experiencing lust-at-first-sight while in the airport security line, sharing her own views on love and marriage, admitting to being an introvert, or discovering her cross-fit instructor’s secret bad habit, Amy Schumer proves to be a bighearted, brave, and thoughtful storyteller that will leave you nodding your head in recognition, laughing out loud, and sobbing uncontrollably—but only because it’s over.


Socialist thought: a documentary history
A groundbreaking study of the contemporary encounter between Catholic missionaries and Aymara Indians in highland Bolivia, this book is the first ethnography to focus both on the evangelizers and the evangelized. Elucidating the workings of that original global institution, the Catholic Church, Andrew Orta explores the pastoral shift away from liberation theology that dominated Latin American missionization up until the mid-1980s to the recent "theology of inculturation."

Hommage aan Leo Gestel III, II en I
Traveling is an inseparable part of Bierenbroodspot’s life, and she is following in the footsteps of her famous uncle Leo Gestel (1881-1941). Gestel traveled with Charley Toorop and Adriaan Lubbers several times through Spain and Italy, where he experimented in expressionist and cubist style. Gestel occupies a prominent place in Dutch art history; he was an important modernist and also the artistic and social director of the Dutch ‘Bergense School’. Horses also played a prominent role in his work. Bierenbroodspot spent much of her childhood in her uncle’s studio where she fell in love with the paint and the craft.


Bill Hansberry is a well known and respected educator from Australia in the field of restorative practices in schools. I have reviewed his recently-published book, titled Working Restoratively in Schools. Here is the review:
Working restoratively in schools: A guidebook for developing safe and connected learning communities, by Bill Hansberry, Quennscliff, Victoria, Australia, Inyahead Press, 2009, 1 + 128 pp., AU$29.50/US$27.00 (paperback), ISBN 978-0-9806942-0-8
Tom Cavanagh, PhD
The author of this book is a well-known practitioner of the application of restorative justice theory in schools, particularly in Australia. He is to be commended for providing a practical resource for educators to help them understand the theory of restorative justice as it is applied in educational settings and to help them apply that theory in practical ways.
My review of this book is influenced by my special interest in developing the theory of a Culture of Care in schools based on restorative justice principles, particularly related to the importance of building and maintaining healthy and caring relationships, in order that all students, particularly those students who do not belong to the dominant culture, may flourish in school and as adults.
This book offers a valuable contribution in the field regarding the application of restorative justice theory in schools, sometimes called restorative practices, by providing educators will a simple and clear explanation of restorative justice theory as applied in schools and a detailed guide about how to apply that theory. This theory is largely based on the work of respected scholars in the field like John Braithwaite and Brenda Morrison and draws from other theories, such as William Glasser’s Choice Theory, Donald Nathanson’s Compass of Shame, and Daniel Goleman’s theory about Social Intelligence.
The purpose of this book is to provide a whole-school approach to implementing restorative justice processes and a resource to assist in implementing change in these schools. The conversation currently in the field centers on how to introduce restorative practices in schools. This book contributes to the field of restorative justice in education by providing a easy to understand guide for educators to apply the theory of restorative justice in schools. However, I was left questioning how the ideas presented in this book would build the capacity of students to solve problems non-violently and how those ideas would lead to the profound change in the culture of schools that is required to transform from being punitive and rules based to healing and collaborative.
The first section of this book introduces readers to the theory underlying restorative practices in schools. The second section tells educators how to move from theory to practice. And the final section offers detailed ideas for applying restorative practices in educational settings. At the end of the book is a list of references for the reader who wants to explore the field further.
The author of this book contends that the book serves as a resource for micro and organizational change. While micro level change is obvious, particularly in the guidance the book gives for building the capacity of teachers to respond to wrongdoing and conflict in a restorative manner rather than punitively, organizational level change is not so obvious. My review of the book revealed the book does not offer ideas for systemic change, and without such change the practices mentioned in the book may well be viewed as another tool in the traditional disciplinary toolkit, rather than the basis for the profound change that is required to truly create whole school reform.
The critical element that is missing in this book is acknowledgement of the impact of disparities in education that affect restorative practices. Whether we are talking about Aboriginal people in Australia, Maori in New Zealand, First Nations people in Canada, or African-American, Latin/Hispanic, and Native American students in the United States, those of us working in the field of restorative practices in education are ethically obligated to acknowledge that our work is directly linked to the statistics of disparity that disproportionately affect students from these minority groups. We cannot ignore the cultural impact of our work and what we can learn from listening to the voices of these people from minority groups as we shape the discourses that are the foundation of our work.
While this book, upon review, was found lacking in some respects, I recommend that educators and those interested in education purchase and read this book. This book provides an excellent resource for teachers and administrators who want to understand restorative justice theory and how to apply that theory in schools using tried and practical tools.

Bill and Ben
The names Bill and Ben, when used together, may refer to:
- Bill and Ben, the Flower Pot Men, children's television show
- Bill and Ben, locomotive characters from The Railway Series children's books by Rev. W. Awdry, and the associated TV series Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends
- "Bill and Ben", a song by the band Catherine Wheel
- Bill and Ben, Bill Valentine and Ben Emerson, heroes in the western fiction book series by Leonard Frank Meares
- Jamie "Bill" Linehan and Ben "Ben" Boyce, host of New Zealand television show Pulp Sport and leaders of the Bill and Ben Party, a joke political party.
- Bill and Ben Porter, main characters in the British sitcom 2point4 Children.
Template:Other uses Template:For Template:Italic title Template:Refimprove Template:Infobox television Flower Pot Men is a British children's programme, produced by BBC television, first transmitted in 1952, and repeated regularly for more than twenty years. A reboot of the show called Bill and Ben was produced in 2001.
Originally, the programme was part of a BBC children's television series titled Watch with Mother, with a different programme each weekday, most of them involving string puppets. The Flower Pot Men was the story of Bill and Ben, two little men made of flower pots who lived at the bottom of an English suburban garden. The characters were devised by Hilda Brabban. She wrote three original stories of the three characters (Bill, Ben and Little Weed) which she sold to the BBC for one guinea each. The stories were originally broadcast on the radio programme Listen with Mother in 1951.
The rights to the stories were later sold to Ben Productions which turned the radio programme into the hugely popular television show. The puppeteers were Audrey Atterbury and Molly Gibson. The voices and other noises were produced by Peter Hawkins, Gladys Whitred and Julia Williams. The narration for all episodes was done by Maria Bird.
The plot changed little in each episode. The programme always took place in a garden, behind a potting shed. The third character was Little Weed, of indeterminate species, somewhat resembling a sunflower or dandelion with a smiling face, growing between two large flowerpots. The three were also sometimes visited by a tortoise called Slowcoach, and in one particular episode, the trio meet a slightly mysterious character made out of potatoes called Dan the potato man. While the "man who worked in the garden" was away having his dinner the two Flower Pot Men, Bill and Ben, emerged from the two flowerpots. After a minor adventure a minor mishap occurs; someone is guilty. "Which of those two flower pot men, was it Bill or was it Ben?" the narrator trills, in a quavering soprano; the villain confesses; the gardener's footsteps are heard coming up the garden path; the Flower Pot Men vanish into their pots and the closing credits roll. The final punch-line was, "and I think the little house knew something about it! Don't you?"
The Flower Pot Men spoke their own, highly inflected version of English, called Oddle Poddle, which was invented by Peter Hawkins (who also voiced the Daleks and Captain Pugwash). An icicle was an "ickle-kickle", and Ben would say "flobabdob". At the end of each adventure, they would say bye-bye to each other and to the Little Weed – "Babap ickle Weed" – to which the Weed would inevitably reply with tremulous cadence "Weeeeeeeeeeed". This language, like that of the Teletubbies in the 1990s, was criticised for hindering children from learning proper English.
On 4 January 2001, a reboot named Bill and Ben began on CBBC on BBC Two, this time involving stop-motion animation, 35mm film style and full colour, and made by Cosgrove Hall Films with a team of ten animators. This reboot features the voices of John Thomson (who also serves as the narrator), Jimmy Hibbert and Eve Karpf. The series aired in Ireland on RTEjr and formerly aired on CBeebies in 2002-2008.
Many additions were implemented:
- A mean female rosebush with two talking buds in the neighbour's garden named Rose.
- A mischievous female prickly plant named Thistle.
- A female magpie named Pry, obsessed by shiny treasures, often just bottle caps.
- A male hedgehog named Boo.
- Slowcoach remains in the series, with few changes to his characteristics. He gets angry at Bill & Ben for ruining his things.
- A male frog named Tad.
- A female squirrel named Scamper.
- A male baby squirrel named Scuff. He is Scamper's baby nephew.
- A female spider named Whimsy.
- A male worm named Whoops.
- A male talking tomato named Ketchup.
- A male turtle named Tortuga.
- Another male tortoise called Lightning. He is Slowcoach's brother.
- Weed is no longer a weed, but an enormous sunflower. Rather than just saying "Weed!", she speaks normal English, playing an "earth mother" role to Bill and Ben and often assisting them. However, she does mutter that word in her sleep sometimes.

What do psychologists recommend as an alternative to scolding, spanking and other forms of punishment? How do we modify teenage behaviour and re-motivate them toward higher levels of success? These are common problems faced today by several parents.
Dubai-based psychologist Dr George Kaliaden’s book ‘Moulding your Child: Psychological Techniques for Effective Parenting’, was released at the Sharjah International Book Fair (SIBF) on Thursday.
The book provides practical solutions to parents and helps them keep their hopes alive in the face of many challenges of the post-modern children’s world of gaming and cyber-communities, especially those living in the UAE. The know-how that the author shares with parents is based on his training in Behavioural Psychology and on his 25 years’ training experience with teenagers, children and families.
“Today’s children live in two communities at the same time: Real community like family and virtual communities of the cyber-world, inter-linked by instant messaging and social media interactions,” said Dr Kaliaden.
He added: “Most parents are not even aware of this ‘global space’, where their parenting and formation takes place, nor do they have the preparedness or adequate skills to deal with such a complex parenting environment, especially of teenagers.”
According to the psychologist, only when the child’s behaviour gets worse despite best efforts, many parents might feel like giving up, and parents are always under pressure to explore and find new ways of managing child behaviour. “This is where the book becomes valuable for discerning parents. The relevance of this practical handbook comes mainly from the structured, solution-focused approach. It leads parents step-by-step in the difficult task of behaviour management,” he added.
The book’s three sections Identifying Behavioral Problems, The Science of Human Behavior and, Solution-focused Parenting provide step-by-step instruction on modifying child behaviour.
Topics like freedom and control, legal implications of performance modification and ‘Empathic Discipline in Schools,’ gives new insights on behavioural issues faced by families and institutions as well. The new approach to disciplining is recommended for teachers and school administrators to reduce detention, suspension and other punitive methods.


Finding Grace, my debut novel (published in 2012) is a story set in the town where my husband and I grew up--Plattsburgh, NY. And like me, its young heroine, Grace Kelly, turns 14 the summer of 1972 and gets ready to enter the local Catholic high school.
It is only fitting then that it was an old high school friend from Plattsburgh (who was a few years behind us--a classmate of one of my younger sisters and one of my husband's younger brothers) who was instrumental in giving me the opportunity to talk about that book with Ken Huck of Radio Maria. This wonderful gal--who lived right down the street from my husband, on the shore of Lake Champlain--belongs to the same parish as Ken these days, and she knew that he had a show called "Meet the Author," where he talks to writers of Catholic works of fiction and non-fiction. God bless her, she gave him a copy of Finding Grace; and God bless him, he liked it enough to want to bring me on his show (where I was able to chat about Erin's Ring as well).
When January 15 (the scheduled date for the interview) rolled around, I was a bundle of nerves before I went on--but just as with the Catholic Vitamins podcast interview back in December, it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. In fact, I enjoyed the experience more than I would have thought possible.


A Brief History of the Internet Sharing Resources. The Internet started in the 1960s as a way for government researchers to share information. Computers in the '60s were large and immobile and in order to make use of information stored in any one computer, one had to either travel to the site of the computer or have magnetic computer tapes sent.
History of the Internet According to history of the internet, around what time did the Internet come around and how did it all start? The first recorded description of the social interactions that could be enabled through networking was a series of memos written by J.C.R. Licklider of MIT in August 1962 discussing his “Galactic Network” concept.


Are you looking for a complete curriculum that will help you teach a creative problem solving course?
Then you need Create in a Flash! A Leader’s Recipe for Breakthrough Innovation.
I’m Dr. Roger Firestien, and I’ve spent the last 42 years teaching, researching, and consulting in the field of Creative Problem-Solving (CPS). I have written six books on the topic, and I’m excited to tell you about this one.
When my second book, Leading on the Creative Edge, was published in 1997, I sent a copy to my mom and dad in Colorado. It was hard-bound, with a book jacket, and was published by a great publisher. I was really proud of that book.
When I talked to my dad a few weeks after I had sent the book, I asked him how he liked it. He said,
“Well, I read the first twenty pages and it was pretty good. Then I fell asleep. Where are the pictures?”
You see, my Dad was a farmer, and he was a visual thinker. He could plant cornrows so straight that a good archer could shoot an arrow straight down a row and not nick a single blade of corn.
I filed his response. It would turn out to be a great piece of advice over 20 years later.
My colleagues and friends had been urging me to write a new book, to tell my story. They thought I should talk about what it had been like to be in the creativity business for over 40 years, and share what I had learned from working with hundreds of clients and teaching thousands of students.
In September of 2018, the time had come for me to write that book. I was ready.
I wanted this book to be different from many of the creativity books that were on the market. I didn’t want it to be heavy with text and difficult to get through. I wanted my next book to be fun, engaging, and inspiring, while still being research-based and practical. I didn’t want to overwhelm the reader with a grocery list of creativity techniques or cliche creativity examples, like the invention of post-its® or the light bulb. Books like that already existed. I’d even written them myself.
My goal with this book was to give the reader the essence of what I had learned from being in this field my entire professional life. I wanted to give them the creativity methods that have worked consistently for me with hundreds of groups. I wanted to share stories of people who I have worked with over the years who have found success using Creative Problem-Solving (CPS) in their businesses and in their lives.
I wanted this book to be one that my Dad would be eager to read all the way through. So of course I needed short chapters and lots of full-color pictures.
I wanted the reader to smile and be surprised when they turned the pages.
By the middle of September 2018, I had hired an art director and an editor. We went to work creating a beautiful, engaging, and fun book with the same research-based foundation in all my work. A year later, on September 19, 2019, we held the book launch party for Create in a Flash: A leader’s recipe for breakthrough innovation at the Buffalo, New York Museum of Science.
Half of Create in a Flash is text, while the other half is pictures. I didn’t want this book to be another training manual. I’d already done that, and this was supposed to be something different.
But there were some training aspects in Flash. So I produced 20 videos to accompany the book. They demonstrate applying the Creative Problem-Solving process to a real problem. The videos also feature interviews with people that are using Creative Problem-Solving in their lives.
The videos supplement the book, and I also produced downloadable PDFs that in turn supplement the videos. It all serves as a curriculum for a creativity course, and in fact, I’m using it in my own classes.
I teach at the International Center for Studies in Creativity at SUNY Buffalo State. I am amazed at how much time this book saves and how much easier it is for me to teach the course. I find myself spending much less time explaining specific CPS techniques because there are clear examples provided in the videos. Here is an example of how to do a warm-up.
In my introductory creativity course, I have the students watch videos demonstrating how I facilitate a specific technique, such as generating creative questions, using forced connections, or applying the Pluses, Potentials, and Concerns technique to an idea.
In my advanced Creative Problem-Solving facilitation courses, I have students watch the same videos, this time looking for the facilitation nuances that make for a great creativity session. Students have told me that they often review the videos while they are preparing to facilitate a CPS session.
The chapters in the book are short and provide inspirational examples of creativity in action. Create in a Flash contains everything you need to teach a course in creativity in a university or corporate setting.
Access to the videos and the PDFs are free, whether you buy the book or not.
I want you to be able to use this book in a few different ways. You can read it from cover to cover (and those pictures mean you won’t get bored), you can use it as a text for a class in combination with the videos and PDFs for a full curriculum, or if you just need some inspiration, you can open the book and read a few pages of “FYI” (For Your Innovation).

There are good things and bad things about electronic references. The good thing about them is the fact that you can have a virtually limitless amount of information packed into a very small device. The problem with them tends to be that the more information you pack in, the more difficult they become to navigate. Informed Publishing has addressed this by integrating great information with a simple interactive interface!
When you open up the RN Pocket Guide you’ll see a small menu bar at the bottom of the screen with four buttons. The button on the left of this menu will bring up a list of all the topics that are covered within this app. There are all kinds of topics covered from Cardiac and Respiratory down to Mental Health and Gastrointestinal.
When you find the topic that you need information on, touching it will bring up a list of articles to read. What really makes this app great though is that the information itself is interactive. If the article you’re reading mentions a test that you might want to perform it will give you a link to that test within the app, or if it references a phone number it will give you a link to dial that phone number directly.
Besides the articles full of information, this app also offers a variety of different medical calculators. You can access the full list of them by touching the “Calculators” button at the bottom of the screen. Many of them are also available from within various information in the “Topics” section as well.
Another great feature of this app is the “Search/Bookmarks” feature. Anytime you find and are reading an article that you think you might need later, you can add a bookmark to it by touching the “+” button at the bottom of the screen. You can then access your list of bookmarks either from the main menu or by touching the bookmark button from within an article.
You can switch from bookmarks to the search feature by touching the icon in the upper right corner of the screen. As you type information into the search bar you’ll see live updates of information below. Touching any of the articles that pop up will take you straight to them. This makes it extremely easy to quickly find information on a particular topic. No hunting through topics and subtopics, just type one good key word and head there directly!
If you’re a nurse and you have or used to carry a pocket guide of some sort, this is an app that you should definitely check out. For just $9.99 you can have all kinds of great information literally at the tops of your fingers! So what are you waiting for? Head to the App Store and check it out today!

DPC Videos and Papers
We have selected a few of our favorite articles, papers, graphics, and videos about Direct Primary Care, as well as price transparency and the movement to introduce free market principles into the healthcare system to reduce costs, improve quality, as well as to make both doctors and patients happier.
DPC: A HEALTHCARE REVOLUTION
This short animation describes what Direct Primary Care is and why it is so beneficial for patients.
This video published by Reason, featuring DPC pioneers such as Douglas Farrago, M.D., Ryan Neuhofel, D.O., and Julie Gunther, M.D. discusses what DPC is and how it can be a part of the health care solution.
Why Direct Primary CAre?
This video is a presentation given by Dr. Josh Umbehr of Atlas MD. He is one of the pioneers of the DPC Movement. In this 11 minute video he gives a great introduction into the philosophy of Direct Primary Care and how it works in his office. Several hundred DPC offices have opened since his talk.
CAN DPC SAVE MONEY?
This video was filmed at the 2017 Docs4PatientCare DPC Nuts and Bolts Conference. It features Chad Savage, M.D. who expertly explains how DPC can save patients a significant amount of money.
RESTORING THE DOCTOR-PATIENT RELATIONSHIP
This report by Liam Siguad of the Maine Heritage Policy Center talks about how DPC can improve the doctor-patient relationship, save money, and improve quality and access to care. It takes a look at DPC in general, as well as in Maine specifically. Since its publication, several more DPC practices have opened in the Pine Tree State.
DIRECT PRIMARY CARE FOR LOCAL GOVERNMENTS
This paper by Katherine Restrepo of the John Locke Foundation demonstrates that DPC can not only save individual patients and businesses money, but also governments. She analyses how much savings was demonstrated in Union County, North Carolina when that county's government offered a DPC option for their employees.

Wars of Lithuania
A presentation of systematised factual information and statistical data on Lithuania's national war experience in the nineteenth centuries.
A presentation of systemized factual information and statistical data on Lithuania's national war experience in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
There are four wars in the centre of attention that were fought in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries under the Lithuanian flag: the 1830–1831 and 1863–1864 uprisings, the 1919–1920 Lithuanian War of Liberation and the 1944–1953 Lithuanian Partisan War against the Soviet Union.
The accumulation and generalization of factual information and statistical data was done by employing and correspondingly adapting the methodology and techniques of the Correlates of War project, quantitative study of the history of warfare that begun in the United States in 1963 and is still being carried out.


The 2018 Middle East Section Student Paper Award Winner:
Noha Fikry (American University in Cairo), “Spaces of Life, States of Death.”
Based on one year of fieldwork in a number of multispecies-inhabited rooftops across Cairo and Alexandria, Fikry‘s paper examines the interplay of life and death as twin forces that are complementary, co-constitutive, and co-productive rather than merely opposed. In doing so, Fikry uncovers an innovative understanding of life-and-death as simultaneous and co-occurring. Both anthropological and ecological, Fikry‘s work does not offer a treatise on what life and death are or might be, but rather follows life-and-death as they unfold through the cacophonous social lives of humans and other species (such as goats, chickens, rabbits, and pigeons). In short, the paper asks: What does life-and-death do, and how? Describing life-and-death as different instances of “enfleshment,” Fikry‘s ethnography provides nuanced understanding of worlds as a continual circulation of flesh.

This image is from a book with biblical history made around 1455. It contains a staggering 180 coloured drawings from the Old Testament, this one showing God creating Adam. As you can see, the decorator did not want us to see all parts Adam was given: he covered his private parts with a leaf. It was appropriate to do so, since the text itself (the Bible) mentions how a fig leaf was used for this very purpose. What is so great about this picture, however, is that the leaf is still attached to a plant. Moreover, it is almost as if God grabs Adam by the arm to pull him behind the concealing plant. And just in time too! It all makes for an amusing scene in a serious book.

Marina Abramovic’ | Balkan Baroqueperformance at the XLVII Biennale, Venice 1997
Reminiscent of Cleaning the Mirror #1 (1995), in which she sat on a stool for three hours washing a skeleton, Abramovic created Balkan Baroque in response to the innumerable deaths that had taken place in the former Yugoslavia. Sitting on top of 1,500 cow bones in a white dress, she spent four days, six hours a day, washing each of these bloody bones…
The comparison between the inability to scrub away all the blood and the inability to erase the shame of war is a concept she viewed as having universal reach.

Story Explorers is a lively, interactive book group especially for children. Over a number of weeks children will read through an exciting book for their age group – exploring the book’s themes and characters as they read!
This term, we are reading the fantastic 'Tilly and the Bookwanderers' by Anna James. Tilly is lucky enough to meet some wonderful fictional characters, like Anne of Green Gables and Alice in Wonderland. And we will be lucky enough to meet Anna James when she comes to Ilkley Literature Festival on 19th October.
As usual, some weeks we will be taking on the role of one or more Story Explorers (based on the 'Book Detectives' scheme devised by Aberdeenshire Council): Summariser, Illustrator, Opinion Spotter, Mind Mapper, Style Seeker and more! We will work alone, in pairs and in groups, on a variety of activities based around the book.
Story Explorers meet Mayfield View Care Home, Ilkley on Saturdays during termtime. Fees are just £6 per session!
Click the 'Story Explorers' button to visit the Ilkley Literature Festival website and find out more.
Most Story Explorers are also Story Wizards! You can come to one of these groups or just one of them.


this section will prove to be a valuable resource for a few locals and
out-of-state tourists alike. While my thoughts are relatively brief on
the areas I have chosen to describe, I have links to many other great
Web sites that go further in depth. Also, while the areas I cover are
limited to just a handful, I will add futer articles on when I have enough
material and information gathered. The following pages cover the both

There are five resources which I highly recommend for your Colorado explorations. The first is John Fielder's Best of Colorado. This is the best complete guide for Colorado which is also geared towards the photographer, or just one who wants to see some of the great sites this state has to offer. It also covers dining and lodging options and other attractions. The second book I would suggest is Laurent Martrès' Photographing the Southwest: Volume 3, which covers Colorado and New Mexico. It is one of the two available photographer's guide books for Colorado. The other photographer's guide book is Andy Cook's A Guide To Colorado's Best Photography Locations. I have his first addition, but can only suspect the second one is better. Both of these guide books are very well done, but the former is more formal. The final piece of literature, of sorts, I recommend is The Roads of Colorado road atlas. I find this to be far better than the more popular Colorado Atlas and Gazetteer in that it has far greater topo detail and is much easier to read in general. This is my most used resource in my Colorado library, and here is a picture to prove it! Similarly, Benchmark Maps Colorado Road and Recreation Atlas is just as good of an alternative to The Roads of Colorado. Instead of countour lines, it uses shaded relief that is probably the cleanest way to visualize the topography, and would be my first suggestion for most people. I was a late-comer to this resource, and truth be told, I generally look at it first. It also includes things like scenic byways and other recreational opportunities along with climates for given areas.

Most aptly described as a visual poet, I like to mix trinkets and treasures, words and images, into a powerfully evocative body of work. Each piece conveys a sense of time and place as seen through the mind’s eye of memory, combining reality and fantasy to create an amazingly cohesive vision. My deeply connected artistic expressions are accessible and immediate, while allowing interpretation to the imagination. My works are included in many notable collections both in the United States and internationally.
Think / Feel / Ruminate / Create
Collage on paper or in altering a book involves taking blank paper and adding it to change it in some way. One of the greatest things in the re-use of books is that nothing goes to waste. The book is a personal statement, and it’s compelling – almost addicting – to see how each one evolves. It’s a canvas for ideas, personal and individual, unique to the mood of the days/daze that I am working on it.
Relax, change direction, trust my intuition and then take an idea and run with it. Go away and do something else. Think more…scribble and draw and move the piece towards the unexpected. Add more collage elements, and amuse me.
Open up, let go, move the paint on the page, add wax, scratch back into the page. I am fully aware of what I had in mind but I have to be willing to let the process play out and see what happens. Curiosity is the most important art/life trait. I love to see what changes when I work this way. Every artist chooses the materials and creates the spirit she desires to share with her work. Creativity always requires something new – a different interpretation – a break from the twin opiates of habit and cliché. This way of thinking is why all of my artwork and books are different riffs on familiar themes, collage and mixed media is the perfect choice for exploration and art thinking.
‘Cause art is the verb-to do.
I am a teaching artist through Millersville University South Central partners, offering multidisciplinary teaching in Book Arts, creativity, and writing. I am also connected to the Lancaster Creative Factory – teaching is a passion.
