Spinach Pockets & mom's Peach Cobbler."" --Rita Maria Magdaleno - Marlene Dietrich, Rita Hayworth & My MotherWriting, melded with dedication and friendship, tied three women together for nearly twenty-five years. We three are not professional writers. We are women who love to craft words in a variety of ways. A writer is anyone who is compelled to sort out ideas, emotions, and facts of life through the act of writing stories, poems, essays, or journals. Writing expressed in these ways helps the writer examine their life and the universe in which they exist. The beauty of a writers' group is that you find a safe place to articulate your views, inspirations, and imaginations. Herein is the arc of our journey as a group with some of our compositions and commentary on the group. We ventured away from our desks, exploring outside our group, diverse avenues for inspiration, together and separately. We hope you enjoy our writing journey as much as we enjoyed putting our discoveries on the page. Our book is dedicated to those who want to have that safe place to practice the craft of writing with the comradery of other writers who support their efforts.

Suomi-ukraina sanastokirja on kirja ukrainan kielen sanaston oppimiseen. Yhteensä kirjassa on valmiiksi yli 3500 sanaa ja yli 700 lausetta. Pelkästään 3000 sanaa vastaa 95% useimpien kielten arjessa tarvittavasta sanastosta.Kirjassa on 160 (A4-kokoista) sivua ja sanasto on jaoteltu 71 eri aiheeseen. Jokaisen 71:n aiheen sanastolista löytyy aukeaman vasemmalta sivulta. Aukeaman oikea sivu on tyhjää ruutupaperia, johon voi lisätä uusia sanoja ja lauseita ukrainan kielen opintojen edetessä. Tällä tavoin voit jokaisesta aiheesta lisätä sanoja ja lauseita, jotka ovat juuri sinun elämässäsi oleellisia.Eli voit opetella eri aiheista tärkeimmät sanat ja lauseet aina aukeaman vasemmalta sivulta ja käyttää muita oppimateriaaleja, joista lisäät itsellesi tärkeät sanat ja lauseet sitten oikealla puolella sijaitsevalle tyhjälle sivulle.Kirjassa on 71 eri aihetta joten löydät varmasti sopivan aukeaman, johon uudet sanat ja lauseet sopivat kontekstinsa puolesta. Mikäli mikään olemassa oleva aukeama ei sovi uusille lisäyksillesi niin kirjan lopussa on 5 täysin tyhjää aukeamaa johon voit lisätä uusia aihepiirejä.Täytettyäsi tyhjätkin sivut omilla muistiinpanoillasi kirja tulee sisältämään enimmillään jopa 5000-7000 sanaa, jotka on kaikki lajiteltu 71:n aihepiirin alle.Tämän kirjan on tarkoitus olla paikka johon kokoat itsellesi tärkeimmän sanaston ukrainan kielestä, jotka löydät kompaktisti yhdestä kirjasta sen sijaan, että joutuisit selaamaan lukuisia oppikirjoja, muistiinpanovihkoja ja sanakirjoja. Kirja itsessään ei opeta miten lausutaan tai puhutaan ukrainaa eikä ukrainan kielioppia. Kirjaa on tarkoitus käyttää yhdessä muiden oppimateriaalien kanssa ja kerätä näistä muista lähteistä tärkeimmät tiedot ukrainan kielestä tämän kirjan kansien väliin.Eli tämä kirja ei korvaa tekstikirjoja, sovelluksia ja muita kielenopiskelun materiaaleja vaan se on parempi ja tehokkaampi vaihtoehto tyhjälle muistiinpanoviholle itselle tärkeän sanaston kokoamiseksi.

Zona Gale (August 26, 1874 - December 27, 1938) was an American author and playwright. She became the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for drama, in 1921. ... "In addition to her fiction writing, Gale was an active supporter of the La Follettes (both Robert M. La Follettes, and Philip La Follette) and progressive causes. She was an active member of the National Women's Party, and she lobbied extensively for the 1921 Wisconsin Equal Rights Law." In the same year, she attended the founding meeting (in New York) of the Lucy Stone League and became a member of its Executive Committee. Her activism on behalf of women was her way to help solve "a problem she returned to repeatedly in her novels: women's frustration at their lack of opportunities." (wikipedia.org)

The Aspern Papers is a novella by American writer Henry James, originally published in The Atlantic Monthly in 1888, with its first book publication later in the same year. One of James's best-known and most acclaimed longer tales, The Aspern Papers is based on the letters Percy Bysshe Shelley wrote to Mary Shelley's stepsister, Claire Clairmont, who saved them until she died. Set in Venice, The Aspern Papers demonstrates James's ability to generate suspense while never neglecting the development of his characters. James (a very private man) examines the conflicts involved when a biographer seeks to pry into the intimate life of his subject. James paints the nameless narrator of The Aspern Papers as, in Juliana's words, a "publishing scoundrel", but also generates sympathy for the narrator as he tries to work the papers loose from Juliana, who is presented as greedy, domineering and unappealing. The story unwinds into the double climax of Juliana's discovery of the narrator about to break into her desk, and Miss Tita's revelation that she has destroyed the papers. Miss Tita is ashamed of her marriage proposal to the narrator, but James implies that she does exactly the right thing by depriving him of the papers. In a way, she develops into the true heroine of the story. James thought so highly of this story that he put it first in volume 12 of The New York Edition, ahead of even The Turn of the Screw. Critics have almost unanimously agreed with him about the tale's superb quality. Leon Edel wrote, "The story moves with the rhythmic pace and tension of a mystery story; and the double climax ... gives this tale ... high drama". (wikipedia.org)

Robert Blair's Thinking into German offers a tried and tested method of enabling students to cope with the daunting task of expressing their thoughts in German. Thinking into German starts by acknowledging that thoughts will initially appear in English and provides a workable strategy for moving them into German without falling for the false allure of direct translation. With the aid of comprehensive exercises the skills acquired through thinking into German will increasingly transform into the reality of thinking in German.Thinking into German suggests that the student analyses thoughts in terms of nineteen categories. Within each category the author provides multiple German structures tailored both to particular shades of meaning and to the grammatical requirements of the vocabulary items the student wishes to use. The book also contains a wide range of exercises working from both English and German bases.
