However, I can now tell you that it is possible to make a great bagel at home, even in San Diego, because these babies rivaled anything I’ve eaten before. I’ve had decent bagels in San Diego, but nothing to get overly excited about. It’s certainly seems to be true that the real deal can’t be found just anywhere. īagels are one of those things that I always assumed you had to buy from a bagel shop if you wanted the ‘real thing.’ I’m certainly not a connoisseur, but I’ve had wonderful, chewy bagels in both New York and Los Angeles that put every other bagel I’ve tasted to shame. Week three of The Bread Baker’s Apprentice Challenge has ended and I have to say that I am sad to say goodbye to these bagels! I would happily make these once a week for the next year if there weren’t so many other tempting breads coming up. Perfectly aligned to the KS2 curriculum, for those studying the Romans in school. It is great in explaining the daily life of Romans from a child's point of view. Although this book handles the sensitive subject of a tragic natural disaster, this book perfectly pitched for years 2 and 3. Heading for the harbor, Tranio and his friend Livia hide on a boat and witness one of the most terrifying moments in recorded history-the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and the destruction of their beloved city, Pompeii. As the children escape by sea they watch Pompeii disappear beneath a blanket of ash and stone. Taking in many sights, her readers follow Tranio, an actor’s son, around the city to the bakery, where he meets his friend Lucia. The ground begins to shake, the sky to darken. Christine Balit’s Escape from Pompeii transports the class back to AD 79. But one hot August day a very different scene unfolds. The resource pack includes the extract and all of the activities for the session, which the class are guided through via a comprehensive PowerPoint presentation. Tranio, like most Roman boys, likes to watch whatever is going on: tradesmen selling their goods, ships unloading their exotic cargoes, politicians making speeches in the forum. pdf, 5.21 MB This whole class reading session aims to develop children’s comprehension skills through a reading of Christina Balit’s Escape from Pompeii. Join Tranio, the son of an actor, and his friend Livia, the baker's daughter, in witnessing the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD79. Travel back in time to view the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in the Roman Empire. Independent Bookshop Editions and Autographed Books Her only solace is her nights out with Ted, a sweet, guitar-playing boys’ counselor. Being surrounded by nosy, giggling, joke-telling girls (and one nightmare camper in particular) is enough to make her want to jump in a lake. Marcy’s sure everything will be perfect-until the campers arrive. Finally, she’s on her own for the first time, away from family and school. Finney asks her to be a junior counselor at a creative arts camp. Marcy Lewis is thrilled when her former teacher Ms. "The issues of teacher independence and student protest are topical, and Marcy, an intelligent and enjoyable adolescent, is an appealing heroine." -Library Journal Read more Danziger has an attractive style her prose sparkles with wit and originality." -Publishers Weekly "Funny and alive." -The New York Times Book Review But is this new independence worth the price she'll pay at school and at home? Finney is suspended, Marcy knows she's got to take a stand. Now that she's found a teacher who sees Marcy as more than a name on an attendance sheet, Marcy realizes her life could mean something. Finney, an English teacher who'll try anything in the classroom and actually treats kids like human beings. Life at home isn't great either, since her father bosses her and her mother around. Marcy Lewis is bored by school, she knows she's never going to be thin, and she is dead sure she'll never have a date. A modern classic with issues that will be relevant always. All the similes and metaphors! So many similes and metaphors! But really, they’re fun, not obnoxious. On the other hand, Henry’s descriptiveness is awesome. Henry has created some super messy protagonists, so one really needs to go into this reading with the ability to understand and accept that some people are the most illogical creatures on earth and let themselves be ruled by all these messy feelings instead of doing the one (ONE!) thing that will solve their problem. Overall: I am seriously not on board with January assuring Gus that she’ll stick through the messiness when Gus is scared to try a relationship and then immediately bailing in a meltdown when things get messy. They’re both writers and neighbors on the lake in Michigan. Plot: She’s having a quarter life crisis. When they’re struggling, I wanted to SCREAM. Heat Factor: I was expecting chick-lit level steam (so not much), and I was wrongĬharacter Chemistry: When it’s good, it’s good. Based on the work of 14 spiritual development theorists, including the postmodern philosopher Ken Wilber, Johnston's book shows how moving through the stages of spiritual growth must, by its very nature, include a turning away from the dogmas and creeds of organized religion to something much more experiential, inclusive, and liberating. Margaret Placentra Johnston takes the stages of spiritual growth out of the realm of theory to a rubber-meets-the-road discussion of the very real difficulties, and the joys, experienced by former believers as they navigate critical turning points on the path to spiritual authenticity. "What brings people to leave their church, the traditions of their faith - and sometimes even their friends and family members - to embark on a personal journey of spiritual discovery? Can we be "good" without the rules of a church to guide us? And is it still possible to find a spiritual home within a church whose creeds and practices we may have outgrown? In Faith Beyond Belief, an ex-Mormon, a Muslim "apostate," and several former Catholics (including the author herself) are among those who tackle these issues, sharing stories to inform and comfort the ever-increasing numbers of Americans who are leaving their church behind. I know this might not work for everyone, but this story and the way it’s told really really worked for me! And it’s not until 70% of the way into the book that they’re both single. That being said, know that they both fall in love while they’re engaged/married to other people (there is no physical cheating). I’m not one to love romances with characters already in relationships, and in a way this story has two (Nathan is married during the past chapters), but damn if I didn’t get sucked into Katrina and Nathan’s love story. This was my first book from Emily Wibberley and Austin Siegemund-Broka and I’m honestly obsessed with their writing now. I was lucky enough to win an ARC on Goodreads and I’m so thankful I did! I really loved this one!

Antibodies specific for this protein have allowed its recognition in immunoblots of karyoskeleton-containing fractions of oocytes from different Xenopus species and have revealed its presence in all stages of oogenesis, followed by a specific and rapid degradation during egg formation. The amino acid sequence of this polypeptide with a SDS-PAGE mobility corresponding to M r 145,000 has been deduced from a cDNA clone isolated from a Xenopus laevis ovary expression library and defines a polypeptide of 977 amino acids with a calculated mass of 111 kDa, with partial sequence homology to a synaptonemal complex protein, SCP2. Here, we report the molecular characterization of a novel protein, NO145, which is a major and specific component of a nucleolar cortical skeleton resistant to high salt buffers. Although a number of nonribosomal proteins involved in ribosome formation have been identified, the elements responsible for the shape and internal architecture of nucleoli are still largely unknown. The nucleolus is a ubiquitous, mostly spheroidal nuclear structure of all protein-synthesizing cells, with a well-defined functional compartmentalization. Bathed in opalescent colors, the goddess Venus shyly looks to the viewer from beneath the crook of her elbow. A nude who could be asleep or awake is specially formidable for a male viewer." Background and description Īt the Salon of 1863, The Birth of Venus was one of a multitude of female nudes. Art historian and curator Robert Rosenblum wrote of Cabanel's The Birth of Venus that "This Venus hovers somewhere between an ancient deity and a modern dream" he described "the ambiguity of her eyes, that seem to be closed but that a close look reveals that she is awake. That same year Cabanel was made a professor of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts.Ĭabanel's combination of sensual and classical imagery appealed to the higher levels of society. Shown to great success at the Paris Salon of 1863, The Birth of Venus was immediately purchased by Napoleon III for his own personal collection. A third (106 x 182.6 cm) version dates from 1875 it is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. A second and smaller version (85 x 135.9 cm) from ca. It was painted in 1863, and is now in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris. The Birth of Venus (French: Naissance de Venus) is a painting by the French artist Alexandre Cabanel. Painting by Alexandre Cabanel The Birth of Venus Now he’s heading west to Los Angeles, the city of second chances, determined to put his past behind him. In the past ten years, this thirty-something has buried four of them, collateral damage in his quest for love. Joe Goldberg is no stranger to hiding bodies. Hidden Bodies marks the return of a voice that Stephen King described as original and hypnotic, and through the divisive and charmingly sociopathic character of Joe Goldberg, Kepnes satirizes and dissects our culture, blending suspense with scathing wit. In the compulsively readable follow-up to her widely acclaimed debut novel, You, Caroline Kepnes weaves a tale that Booklist calls “the love child of Holden Caulfield and Patrick Bateman.” Source: I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
