    Tinker's Dam is a book that will be of great interest to all persons who are struggling, or have struggled, to properly integrate their human desires with their moral values. Indeed, this is a personal struggle that all people must face and reconcile, beginning in their early childhood throughout the remainder of their life. However, considering Tinker's Dam's protagonist, Ted Wilson, the book will especially appeal to males in the age range of adolescence through young adulthood, particularly males who are striving to maintain high moral and spiritual standards.

    If your insight serves to incite, will anyone want to see it in sight? If you place a pen on a sill, will it turn into a pencil? If you have little left to write, should you write it from left to right? Such are the probing questions that lurk between the covers of this delightful, irreverent collection. Teeming with puns, idioms, homonyms, and their ilk, the hundreds of entries in Son of a Pun will take you on a whirlwind tour of English as it could be spoken. This tenacious strand of wordplay is an unapologetic embrace of the ridiculous-and might leave you wondering whether the author's way with words implies waywardness...

    "Jochen 'Jack' Wurfl lived two lives. Jack was born in 1932 in Germany to his Jewish mother and Catholic father, and lived in Austria until 1936. Anticipating Hitler's invasion of Austria, his parents sent Jack and his brother, Peter, back to Germany to live with their Jewish grandparents in Berlin. As Hitler's persecution of the Jews intensified, Jack's grandfather sneaked the boys into hiding at a children's summer camp in the resort village of Dangast, 200 miles northwest of Berlin on the North Sea. The camp was operated by a brave and sympathetic German woman named Irma Franzen-Heinrichsdorff. Jack and Peter lived with 'Tante Irma' for twelve years, where they survived bombing raids, SS police surveillance, and food shortages. Their mother died in Auschwitz. Their father, a political prisoner in the Mauthausen concetration camp, died shortly after his liberation after World War II ended. At age seventeen, Jack began his second life when the U.S. Committee for the Care of European Children relocated him and Peter to the United States. Driven to 'build something that will last' with his newfound freedom in Baltimore, Jack took night classes to learn English and found a job at a small insurance company. After serving two years in the U.S. Army, where he was selected for the color guard at the ten-year commemoration of the D-Day invasion in Normandy, Jack married Zonia, a former Miss El Salvador. They raised three daughters, Odette, Dana, and Lisa. In 1969, Jack founded Diversified Insurance Industries, an agency that he built into one of the top 200 in the country. Jack also played hard as a skier, pilot, thoroughbred racehorse owner, deep-sea fisherman, and world traveler. He golfed with astronaut Alan Shepard and volleyed with tennis star Maria Sharapova. These days, when Jack is not in the office, he enjoys spending time with his daughters and four grandchildren, Elle, Thomas, Gillian, and Aidan. My Two Lives is a story about the heart, courage, determination, and love that empowered Jack to overcome adversity and achieve his remarkable success"--

    A caring and ethical education and community is possible! Dr. Tedla has worked in the community, and in student affairs and academic affairs providing student development programs - ultimately creating outreach programs that brought together students, parents, teachers, and professors from diverse cultural, racial, religious, and national backgrounds.

This developmental program is flexible enough to tailor to the needs of different community places and work settings.Unique to Tedla's work is a conceptual framework for student development and community development that includes programmatic elements. The work is founded on The Principle, TruthLovePeace as an important way to actualize our benevolent potentials and respect the Community of All (i.e., Nature). To this end, 11 Community Fostering Qualities have been introduced to serve as practical expressions of The Principle, TruthLovePeace.Here is an opportunity to place integrity and character at the center of learning so that all learners can actualize more of their benevolent potential and abilities.

    It seems that the number of students that can't meet grade level is increasing every day. This is caused by the people running our education system and not by the parents. If you use the actions discussed in this book, your children will not be a part of the disgraceful situation. Your children will most likely excel in their classes. More important is that your children will grow up to be exceptional adults. Best of luck to you.

    Любителям поэзииМой дорогой читатель, мы живём в тревожное и непредсказуемое время. События которые мы пережили и переживаем, такие как пандемия Ковид -19, резкие изменения климатических условий, война России против Украины по надуманным причинам и многое другое, происходящее в мире каждый день, нас убеждают в том как уязвима наша с вами жизнь.Мне хотелось многое из того что окружает нас в повседневной жизни выразить в стихотворной форме, включая опыт и события моей личной жизни, а также моих родных, друзей и близких мне людей.Несмотря на скромный объём, моя поэзия многообразна по тематике, и отражает мысли, которые всегда волновали меня и на которые я зачастую не находил ответа,а также является плодом моего творческого воображения. Часть из них посвящена моим этюдам о природе, а часть о смысле жизни и смерти.., как самых загадочных явлений природы.Эта небольшая по формату книга является плодом долгих и трудных раздумий, Она писалась в течении нескольких лет и я очень надеюсь что она найдёт своего читателя, разделяющего мои взгляды и мысли на жизнь.

    Bucks County Adventures for Kids - Volume III Authors Dashiell Cosdon and his grandfather Carl LaVO take kids, parents and grandparents on 25 unforgettable adventures the entire family can enjoy in historic and beautiful Bucks County, Pennsylvania. The two authors have chosen top attractions for day trips after many years exploring every corner of the county since Dashiell and sister Margaux were toddlers. Bucks is a rarity as a cradle of democracy. We visit where George Washington and the Continental Army made their famous crossing of the Delaware River in 1776. We explore two castles - one where a horse-drawn carriage and whaling boat hang from the ceiling, and another with 44 rooms, 32 stairwells and a rooftop "Room of Winds." We'll experience musical tones of Ringing Rocks, sit inside the cockpit of a jet, walk old Indian trails, hold butterflies, explore a river cavern, stand on a lookout over a grand canyon, pass through 14 covered "kissing" bridges, and enjoy the state's one-of-a-kind wildflower sanctuary. This third volume in the family's Bucks County Adventures series offers maps, directions, sources for more information and dazzling photography to embroider your own memorable adventures.

    To Die In Jerusalem is a novel that delves into the heart of the conflict between American diaspora Jews and the right-wing government of Israel. Morris Gruenwald is eight years old and living in the Kisvarda (Hungary) when the Jews of the town are sent to the death camp at Auschwitz. There, he watches his mother and younger sister marched off to the gas chamber. He survives and is smuggled to the shores of Palestine, evading the British blockade. He is sent to a kibbutz and fights in the 1948 war. Morris believes that his entire family is dead and that his future lies in Israel. He fights again in Israel's various wars against the Arabs - in Suez in 1956 and in Jerusalem in 1967. A random photograph of him praying at the newly-liberated Western Wall in 1967 is seen by his aunt, who left Kisvarda for the United States. His family brings him to America, where he becomes a pro-Israel Senator until an increasingly right-wing Israeli government and the feelings of his grandchildren bring him to the realization that he can no longer support an anti-democratic regime.

    In My Time was inspired by remote teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. Some of my students often asked, "Ms. Doreen, why you not going to school?" "Are you going tomorrow?" Others stated, "I want to come." Some of my students had very limited language skills and were unable to express themselves. Divine inspiration compelled me to write this historical children's book to help them share their experience for years to come.

    In the summer of 1955, a surge of anti-black violence included the kidnapping and brutal murder of fourteen-year-old Emmett Till. This crime provoked widespread and assertive protests from black and white Americans. By December 1955, the Montgomery, Alabama, bus boycott led by Martin Luther King, Jr. began a protracted campaign of nonviolent civil disobedience to protest segregation that attracted national and international attention.In 1956, a group of Southern senators and congressmen signed the "Southern Manifesto," vowing resistance to racial integration by all "lawful means." Opposition heightened in 1957-1958 during the crisis over integration at Little Rock's Central High School. At the same time, the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights led to a successful drive for passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1957 and continued to press for even stronger legislation. NAACP Youth Council chapters staged sit-ins at whites-only lunch counters, sparking a movement against segregation in public accommodations throughout the South in 1960. In this book, you get to sit with Clarence Henderson at the Woolworth food counter, where only white people had the privilege to have a meal.Nonviolent direct action increased during the presidency of John F. Kennedy, beginning with the 1961 Freedom Rides.Hundreds of demonstrations erupted in cities and towns across the nation.Dr. Paul Brintley, D.Min.

    Run for My Life is a compelling memoir that chronicles the life of Daniel Kolmann who was born in Communist-occupied Czechoslovakia in 1948. Blessed with athletic talent but victimized by antisemitism and a repressive, post-World War II regime, Daniel was taken away from his family at age twelve and forced to live in a Russian-controlled sports camp where he was trained six hours a day, seven days a week to be an internationally competitive athlete. During this time, there were months when he was only allowed to visit his parents once every thirty days. As Daniel's athletic prowess continued to develop, he became the top soccer player in the camp as well as the #1 player on the junior tennis team that traveled throughout Europe in various international competitions. Despite being under constant surveillance by armed guards, Daniel's craving for freedom became the focus of his life. Although understanding that a failed attempt to escape would result in a death sentence, Daniel nevertheless stages a daring, nail-biting escape from two armed guards whose sole mission is to capture or kill him. Teen readers will be on the edge of their seats as they read Run for My Life, an exciting, inspirational, page-turning book, skillfully written by accomplished novel and memoir author, Joseph P.

    Time has come today. JFK speaks to a nation stuck in Fifties' conformity, let's get America moving again. JFK's charisma sparks a youth movement in the image of his personal flair. For Claire it's a deeply Southern, religious fervor, for Harlan it's a new union of youth, for Jody it's black with black in Mississippi, and for Joshua it's a call to cease nuclear tests. Come together in Ann Arbor and Madison, Atlanta and Nashville, Berkeley and San Fran to protest their parent's world for whom prosperity was enough. Sit-in Woolworth's to take a stand against a hundred years of racial separation. Come together on a freedom ride to test the law of the land. Come together north and south to create a new culture of black and white, male and female, youth and JFK to rock the boundaries of an older generation. Time has come today. Let youth have their say. Write the Student Manifesto, as statement of what youth wants and what's inimical to their dreams. Say it loudly to all the world listening, we can change the world. If not churches, unions, community, and committed citizenry, then a student movement which ties its expansion to solving problems in this world. Come together on sit-ins and freedom rides. Come together to protest racism in Albany, Georgia. Come together to force the entry of James Meridith into U of Mississippi. Come together to protest George Wallace who stands in the schoolhouse door. Call a stop to police dogs, fire hoses, and Bull Connor in Birmingham, Alabama. Adults see racism on TV and they now know what's going on, not east of the Iron Curtain but in our own southern cities. Be young and idealistic again. Come a more committed citizenry to march on Washington DC for civil rights and jobs for one and all. See the many, they are us. The answer blows in the wind. Hear the oratory of Dr. King as he tells us his dream of black and white, north and south, old and young, all together as God's children. Yet even as hope soars with late summer dreams, the

    For years, author Pamela Walker thought she was alone. Alone in physical and emotional trauma. Alone in substance addiction. And then she realized the most powerful of understandings: that none of us are truly alone. We all know sadness, shame, guilt, and fear; we have probably experienced poor coping strategies, sometimes without even realizing it; and we all could use some true healing.Walker wrote Guilt, Shame and Fear: The Catalyst of Spirituality to release her own pain and give glory to her higher power-and to help others face and then see past their own weaknesses and pain.
