My tastes often don't align with what's popular, and Kleypas is such a great writer, that it really is shocking for me when I read something of hers that I don't like because it's such a rare occurrence. ![]() I put off reading COLD-HEARTED RAKE for a while, but because I love Lisa Kleypas I wanted to give it a try. But then the reviews for the first book in her new Ravenels series started coming in.and they were less than stellar. When she started writing historical romance again, I was so excited.

We know that while self-care is important when dealing with the daily realities of trying environments, it is not, in and of itself, enough. Part of the solution is for teachers to honor the work they do and engage in self-care to fortify themselves against the choppy waters surrounding them. ![]() The good news is that there are ways in which we can address these complex issues. ![]() These are serious challenges, and it would be difficult to overstate their impact on teachers, no matter the grade or subject. ![]() Combine that with being at the center of tense political discourse while trying to provide the best learning environment for students, and you can see why many teachers are asking hard questions about what the future holds. Each day seems to bring a new story about stress, burnout, coping with limited resources, or feeling undervalued. Never has the teaching profession been more challenging. We have had the opportunity to speak to many audiences about the Lighthouse Effect principle, and for the two of us, there is no audience for whom this is more applicable than teachers. The Lighthouse Effect is the simple idea that each day-and each interaction within a day-presents an opportunity for us to be a lighthouse for another and to find one for ourselves.

PRAISE FOR AMBITIOUS BREW 'A fascinating and well-documented social history that sheds fresh light on the bubbly sociable beverage.

The phrase “girl power” was everywhere in late 1990s pop culture, when I was in 4th or 5th grade, and I associated it with loud, angry rock bands. Historical fiction also made me realize what I had in common with people from the past and which social issues still existed in my own time. Karen Cushman’s middle grade novels from the 1990s, The Midwife’s Apprentice and Catherine, Called Birdy, transported me. As a kid, it often made me feel like I’d time traveled. ![]() ![]() ![]() But as he starts to uncover the truth about Furnace’s deeper, darker purpose, Alex’s actions grow ever more dangerous, and he must risk everything to expose this nightmare that’s hidden from the eyes of the world.

Of course there is going to be the usual embellishment that you're going to find in any fictional novel but it is mixed so well with history that nothing is going to see really out of place (or time). He also includes, thankfully, a very helpful family tree which really comes in handy when you're trying to keep up with all the families and their entertwining story lines throughout the novel. ![]() ![]() He includes several different maps at the beginning which show London in different periods in its history and I found it fascinating to see how the city changed and expanded throughout the years.

His wounds are prominent and blood and tears drip down his face and neck (see Technical Notes). The Attribution: Particular attention is given to the gruesomeness of Christ’s torture. ![]() During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, such images served as objects of devotion that invited the viewer to empathize with Christ’s suffering and contemplate his salvation of humankind. Many diptych copies that follow the same prototype, with variations, are extant, and the versions represent a range in artistic quality (see also The Met 71.156–57). ![]() The Met's painting may have been an individual work, or perhaps was once joined with a Mourning Virgin to form a diptych (Sprinson de Jesús 1998). The composition is based on a presumed lost prototype, probably developed in the workshop of Dieric Bouts (active by 1457–died 1475). The Subject: This image depicts Christ as the Man of Sorrows, wearing the crown of thorns and revealing the nail wounds on his hands from the Crucifixion. ![]() |
