Peace has now returned to Normandy. The blood-soaked beaches have been cleansed by the waves of the English Channel. The cows and Camembert cheese have returned. Screams and gunfire have been replaced by the sounds of wind in the bluffs above and the pounding of the surf below. The smell of apple blossoms and cider have replaced the stench of gunpowder and death. All is well in Normandy, but history will never let us forget the events that occurred here in June of 1944, the battle known as "Operation Overlord." *** For the past seven decades, the region of Normandy, France, has lived in the shadow of one of the most infamous times in history: the D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944. On this day seventy-five years ago, the Allied Forces clashed with Nazi soldiers on the beaches of Normandy. Now, where their gunfire once thundered, the beaches and hamlets have returned to their original serenity. In Normandy, 75 Years Later, Dennis P. Klein takes readers on a photographic journey through modern-day Normandy and the historical remnants left behind from the beginning of the end of World War II in the European theater. Poignant in its accurate retelling of the invasion of Normandy, Normandy, 75 Years Later offers readers invaluable insight into the history and beauty of Normandy, France, on the seventy-fifth anniversary of D-Day.

The Common Core State Standards in Mathematics (CCSS-M) were released in 2010 with a goal to improve critical thinking skills and prepare all students to thrive in college, careers, and as informed citizens. The Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) followed in 2013. Most states across the country adopted the standards, which brought ambitious new targets for both students and teachers, but there has been little evidence about whether instructional practices improved.This study provides a summary of what happened in one district-Chicago Public Schools (CPS)-as district staff and educators worked to promote change in instructional practices in math and science aligned with the new standards.

Most people spend their entire life trying to find the purpose that serves them best, but your purpose was always meant to serve others. So, it is in your serving of others that you discover your purpose!No matter who you are, if you are faced in front of children on a daily basis and commissioned to teach, this book is for you. Teaching is not for everyone, and unfortunately many are turning their backs on the classroom. I urge you to reconsider. The world is in need of educators more than ever before. It is from my experiences and understanding that children have become more difficult to teach, and the cost of living is increasing on a daily basis. So, this leads you to do what you can to help yourself: You buy books and take classes, trying to increase your chances of making more money. You make an attempt to create some sort of balance in your life, which begins to provoke your chances of burnout. You push and push and push until you have nothing left to give, and you become numb and powerless to make a difference. You were like a potted flower, meant to stand out and be beautiful, your color made to be vibrant, your purpose manifested in the most subtle way, and your harvest everlasting. The sun was always supposed to shine on you and water always made available to you. And because you never intended to be moved, you blossomed where you were planted. But somewhere along the way, someone closed the window and shielded the sunlight, and forgot you were still there. I am deeply sorry that it has taken me so long to bring this book to you, but I'm happy it's finally here.

Jimmy Blanco was one of the longest living survivors of the world's deadliest brain cancer and he defied the odds without traditional medicine. In 1995, he was diagnosed with a glioblastoma multiforme grade IV and given less than four months to live. From day one he rejected chemotherapy and radiation and the doctor's death sentence for him. He self-treated with natural medicine, radically altered his diet, practiced visualization and other mental focus techniques, and had a healthy faith in God. He fought eight incredible years against the tumor that doesn't quit. Jimmy began writing a book about his journey but sadly did not finish it. Fifteen years after his death, his widow, Elizabeth, found the unfinished book he'd been writing and gave it to their daughter, Jamie. Now as an adult and award-winning journalist, Jamie knew what she had to do-complete her father's work. She has investigated the biggest factors that contributed to her father's miraculous remission and done a deep dive into the latest brain cancer research, both the great and the lacking. This multigenerational memoir spans more than twenty years and tells the story of heartache, miracles, the power of nature and faith, and the bonds of love that disease and death cannot break.
