![]() ![]() P1, who already supply to the World Rally Championship and fuelled Sebastian Vettel's showruns in old F1 cars last year, make their fuel out of a blend of bio-ethanol and molecularly constructed synthetic fuel from captured carbon and green hydrogen.įrom a fuelling and emissions perspective, karting might seem like the least of anyone's worries. The first FIA karting events running on 100% sustainable fuel began in March, using a drop-in fuel from German supplier P1 racing fuels. With hardly any of motorsport's emissions coming directly from the race cars, though, that promise risks either greenwashing larger logistical problems or promoting fuel solutions that have little road relevance. The Federation Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA) has promised that every series it presides over, from karting to rallying to Formula One, will use 100% carbon-neutral fuel by 2026. ![]() You have reached a degraded version of because you're using an unsupported version of Internet Explorer.įor a complete experience, please upgrade or use a supported browserĬan synthetic fuels save racing as we know it?

We grabbed some materials and photos and started creating. and I think Michael Martchenko's illustrations are darling too.Īfter we read this simple princess story we decided to make a paper bag princess photo craft. I love the twist in the story that has the princess saving the prince. ![]() I love the strong princess that is depicted in the story. The Paper Bag Princess by Robert Munsch is one of my all time favorite princess books. This month our theme features princesses, knights, and castles! On the last Monday of each month we will feature a different book based on the same theme. I am excited to be joining several blogging friends to share some book related crafts and activities with you each month as part of a new little group called the Poppins Book Nook. ![]() ![]() ![]() Adler’s most important scholarly essays on the Shoah and connected themes. ![]() This collection gathers together, for the first time in English, some of H.G.

There is something stage-y about the various suits and dresses, as if they were borrowed from a particularly well-stocked community theater wardrobe.īut the settings are where this movie really lost me. The costumes are fine, I suppose, although they never quite wow. I kept expecting them to appear in scenes with podcast mics and beanies and poor lighting. ![]() But Armie Hammer? Russell Brand? I have no problem with either, but they have all the ineffable Hollywood glow of YouTube interview show hosts. The old-school appeal of a big-budget period murder mystery like Death on the Nil e-Directed by Kenneth Branagh! Based on an Agatha Christie novel! With movie stars you've heard of! Shot before the pandemic!-is supposed to rely on a surfeit of silver screen glamour: glamorous people, glamorous costumes, glamorous settings, and thus, in the end, a glamorous movie.Īs for the first, well, I suppose Gal Gadot, who plays a wealthy heiress, can claim a share. ![]() ![]() ![]() I liked the courage of Ragweed-how he was willing to go on a big adventure, how he assimilated himself so fully into the culture of the city, and how we quickly transformed from country mouse, to city mouse, to revolutionary mouse. The mice in the city have car names-such as Dip Stick, Lugnut, Clutch, while Ragweed comes from a country community where all of the mice are named after plants. There he meets a cast of mice who live in fear under an organization headed by two cats (Silversides, a spoiled housecat and Graybar, an alley cat), which is actually named F.E.A.R. This book is the story of Ragweed, a four-month old country mouse who seeks adventure and hops on a train to the city. It suffers a bit in comparison to the other Poppy books which are truly fabulous. It is a fine book (as in OK)-Lachlan actually really loved it. This prequel to the Poppy series was written after the the series was completed. The narrator is nothing short of fabulous! I feel great comfort and familiarity every time his voices comes on to read to us again! Lachlan and I listened to this book as an audio book. In fact, the whole class fell in love with the books (I work at the school library during their library time, so I check out their books and I placed many holds on the Avi Poppy books.) Lachlan fell in love with the books and wanted to share them with us. Lachlan's 3rd grade teacher started reading the Poppy series by Avi to the class. ![]() ![]() ![]() Then one winter night, as he stands stock-still in a trance, a strange woman freezes to death in the snow, and her child, Eppie, wanders into Marner’s home. ![]() There he works at his loom, his money accumulates, and gradually it becomes his sole reason for living.Īfter fifteen years Marner’s money is stolen, and this second blow threatens to destroy him altogether. He moves from Lantern Yard, the scene of the betrayal, to the village of Raveloe. In a part of the novel not reproduced here, the young Marner, then a religious man, suffers a shattering betrayal that destroys his faith. She beautifully represents, too, not just the duties parents and children bear toward one another, but also the blessings that flow to each from meeting these obligations. In telling his story, Eliot explores the part of parenthood that transcends a biological connection. ![]() In the course of the novel, Marner is “saved” from his dismal fate by the arrival of a child. George Eliot’s Silas Marner is the story of an isolated and suffering miser, a weaver named Marner. ![]() ![]() ![]() You can track your delivery by going to AusPost tracking and entering your tracking number - your Order Shipped email will contain this information for each parcel.
