Review brought to you by OBS Staff member Heidiĭates From Hell is an anthology, of four different stories filled with hellish dates, as the title implies. ![]() ![]() ![]() It is a great tool for getting kids to think about character traits and their own choices and behaviors. I have used this book with my own kids, as a counselor and in the school setting. Good tool for classroom, scouts, or counselors This is the kind of book kids should be reading to build their character for tough times ahead. Would be great for the elementary school teacher. I purchased this product to use with my high school students but I immediately sent it back when I looked inside to see it was far too elementary for my students. It was a good book and easy to understand. I used this as part of my daughter's homeschool social studies and health curricula. When youre a person of good character, people respect you more. These qualities are called positive character traits. This book can help you discover your own good qualities and make them stronger. Would you like to be that kind of person? Maybe you already are, and youre searching for more ways to be the best person you can be. ![]() They make friends easily, and they seem to know the right things to say and do. ![]() Their parents and teachers are proud of them. Other people look up to them and want to be like them. ![]() ![]() Something I didn't expect from this issue was a collective Bat-family appearance, and a different cast appears than you might expect. ![]() Though issue #1 only briefly touches on these connections, the series itself presents a fascinating scenario where Gotham City can ultimately live to be something of a character in and of itself manipulating its residents to tear their own lives apart. Issue #1 lays the foundation for a historical connection between the Waynes, Elliotts, and Cobblepotts before Bruce Wayne – or even his parents – were even around. The aforementioned case involves the destruction of some of Gotham's famous structures that can be traced back to some of the most notable families in Gotham's history. ![]() While the structure is fairly typical – Batman's on a case that requires interrogation of some famous rogues – the idea that fuels the fire is something new. ![]() ![]() “If you just found yourself there wondering that the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth amendments are, that alone might be a good sign that we don’t talk about this stuff in schools enough,” Oliver added. He played a segment from a CNN interview by scholar and law professor Kimberlé Crenshaw highlighting that supporters of critical race theory “believe in the Thirteenth and the Fourteenth and the Fifteenth amendment, we believe in the promises of equality, and we know we can’t get there if we can’t confront and talk honestly about inequality”. He cited an Education Week article explaining that “the core idea is that race is a social construct, and that racism is not merely the product of individual bias or prejudice, but also something embedded in legal systems and policies.” Oliver defined critical race theory as “a body of legal scholarship that began in the 1970s that attempted to understand why racism and inequality persisted after the civil rights movement”. ![]() ![]() “Multiple states have passed laws outlawing the teaching of it and Republicans are likely to make it a major focus of the midterms,” he noted. ![]() ![]() ![]() Told in an open, authentic voice, this nuanced story of hiding in plain sight may have listeners thinking about homelessness in a whole new way.

Front cover of The Dollar Kids by Maine Writer Jennifer Richard Jacobson. ![]() But all of this jumping around makes it hard for Ari to keep up with her schoolwork, never mind her friendships, and getting into Carter starts to seem impossible. He and Ari have been "couch surfing," staying with Gage's friend in his tiny apartment, crashing with Gage's girlfriend and two roommates, and if necessary, sneaking into a juvenile shelter to escape the cold Maine nights. What Ari didn't realize was that Gage didn't have an apartment yet.Īnd now, two months later, he still doesn't. So when eighteen-year-old Gage decided he could no longer live with their bossy guardian, Janna, Ari knew she had to go with him - even though she'd miss baking cookies with Janna and curling up to watch HGTV. When Ari's mother died four years ago, she had two final wishes: that Ari and her older brother, Gage, would stay together always, and that Ari would go to Carter, the middle school for gifted students. There's just one problem - Gage doesn't actually have a place to live. ![]() When forced to choose between staying with her guardian and being with her big brother, Ari chose her big brother. ![]() ![]() Please be aware that the delivery time frame may vary according to the area of delivery and due to various reasons, the delivery may take longer than the original estimated timeframe.

![]() ![]() The Proctor Silex had always gotten the job done for me. Some may use fancier toasters capable of holding four slices, and a real showboat might have one of those fancy bagel toasters. If you don’t know what you’re doing, it’s easy to burn the bread, or not have it toasted enough, but I had practiced with the Proctor Silex enough to have the settings memorized. When the capacitor reached a certain voltage, it cut the power to the electromagnet inside and allowed the spring to pop the toast up. 120 volts of power ran through the contacts to the nichrome wires at temperatures exceeding 300 degrees to toast the bread. I put the bread in the slots and pressed down the handle which activated the contacts and applied power to the circuit board. I was using a Proctor Silex 22605 Cool-Wall 2-Slice Toaster with white plastic sides and chrome top. ![]() ![]() Only a fool or an amateur would use white Wonder Bread. Other professional toast makers use whole grain or even raisin bread, but I like the taste and consistency of sourdough when toasted properly. You can use any type of bread to make toast, but I prefer sourdough. I went into the kitchen and put two pieces of sliced sourdough bread into the toaster.
