![]() ![]() Raymie Nightingale is a testimony to the formation of unlikely friendships and shows that love, light, and humor can exist in even the darkest times of our lives. While Raymie isn’t my favorite of the three girls, I enjoyed this charming introduction to the Three Rancheros. ![]() Plus, the audio for this one is excellent! Overall: Raymie Nightingale Raymie Clarke has come to realize that everything, absolutely everything, depends on her. You may hate the plot or even the characters, but DiCamillo sure can write. Two-time Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo returns to her roots with a moving, masterful story of an unforgettable summer friendship. The writing in this book is near-flawless. I enjoyed meeting all three girls and watching DiCamillo build their characters so effortlessly. But the wonderful thing about this book and the series so far is how much these girls have grown on me. The setting was very disorienting at first, because historical fiction isn’t my thing. And, poor Louisiana just wants some money and food for her grandmother and herself - two squatters subsisting on tuna.

Raymie hopes that winning the contest will cause her father who eloped with a dental hygienist to return to their family. All three girls - mostly the first two - hope to enter and win the Little Miss Central Florida Tire competition. Raymie Clarke, Louisiana Elefante, and Beverly Tapinski meet at their baton twirling lessons. In Raymie Nightingale, set in the 1970’s (as all three books are) we meet three very different girls. After scoring an ARC of Beverly (out in September), I thought it would only be right to read the books in order. Names, characters, places and incidents are either the product of the authors imagination or, if real, are used fictitiously. My interest in these books was officially piqued when the third book, Beverly, Right Here was announced earlier this year. For reference, Raymie Nightingale was published in 2016. Two-time Newbery Medalist Kate DiCamillo returns to her roots with a moving, masterful story of an unforgettable summer friendship. I didn’t even know about these books until Louisiana’s Way Home released last year (2018). This is the first book in Kate DiCamillo’s much revered set of companion novels and I understand the hype now. ![]() ![]() ![]() It also struggled to eliminate all background noise, though you can mitigate such problems by using an external microphone or headset. Like our Apple pick, Dragon Home had trouble with various American dialects and international accents it performed better for those testers with “neutral” American accents. Our panelist with language-processing disabilities said Dragon Home was one of the most accurate dictation options they tried, and the robust command features made it possible for them to quickly navigate their machine. As with all of the dictation software we tried, using Dragon Home involves a learning curve at first, but the Dragon tutorial does a great job of getting you started. Still, for those able to work within the technology’s constraints, our picks are the best options available for many people who need assistance using a word-processing tool.Īt $200, Nuance Dragon Home 15 is the most expensive speech-recognition tool we tested, but it’s the best option for people who own Windows PCs. ![]() These apps have difficult learning curves, and the inherent bias that humans program into them means that their accuracy can vary, especially for people with various accents, sociolects and dialects like African American Vernacular English, or speech impediments. Firing off a quick text or typing a memo can be difficult-or even totally infeasible-if you have limited hand dexterity or chronic pain, but this kind of software can make such tasks a relative breeze.Īfter considering 18 options, we’ve found that Apple Voice Control and Nuance Dragon Home 15 are more accurate, efficient, and usable than any other dictation tools we’ve tested.īut the technology behind dictation software (also called speech-to-text or voice-recognition software) has some faults. This flexibility is great if you simply need a break from your keyboard, but it’s especially important for people with language-processing disorders or physical disabilities. Dictation software makes it easy to navigate your computer and communicate without typing a single phrase. ![]() ![]() ![]() The first thing to consider when buying candles is the type of wax used.Ĭheaper candles usually burn faster, giving less light than similar but more expensive candles, such as beeswax. Value-conscious shoppers may gravitate towards the least expensive candles, usually made of paraffin wax, but the price of the candle is not always a clear indication if its actual value. While candles are available in many different shapes, colors and sizes, and can be scented or unscented, the first thing to consider when buying candles is the type of wax used. But with many candles, the pleasing effects come with unseen hazards which impact the health of individuals and bring unseen pollutants to the general room environment. Please visit the Candle Care and Safety Instruction page for more information on how to care for your candles.Nothing says ‘holidays’ like a glowing candle as a table centerpiece or set above the hearth, and scented candles can bring a seasonal fragrance of cinnamon or spice to the room. Because soy burns so clean, you’ll get a cleaner scent as well. Of course, it’s not the scent itself, but the additional chemicals the paraffin is putting off. It’s been noted by many that paraffin wax will give them headaches. Soy wax candles not only have a great scent throw, but also have a cleaner smell. When it’s said that a candle scent “throws well”, this means it fills the room with a strong, lasting scent. It is from this liquid wax pool and the wick itself that the fragrance oils evaporate into the atmosphere. Because of the lower melting point of soy wax, there is a larger amount of the liquid wax pool around the candle wick itself. The scent from soy candles is so much stronger and more pleasant than the scent from paraffin wax candles. Plus, they clean up easier (just use soap and water) when the wax is spilled. ![]() Soy candles are non-toxic because they are made of vegetable oil, have a lower melting point (so the wax itself doesn’t get as hot), produce negligible amounts of soot, and release no known carcinogens into the air. Compared to paraffin candles, soy wax candles are much healthier for humans, pets, and the environment. If you burn a lot of candles, over time it can discolor your walls & furniture. ![]() Candle soot is more of a nuisance than you might realize. As a result, they don’t produce much black soot like paraffin candles do. Soy candles burn cleaner than regular paraffin candles do. A soy candle can burn up to twice as long (sometimes even more!) than paraffin, giving you twice the candle. Soy not only burns cleaner, but slower too. Therefore, even though soy wax candles are sometimes more expensive than paraffin wax candles to buy, they are still more cost-effective overall. Soy candles burn up to 50% longer than regular candles. As a result, soy wax candles do not increase the CO2 level in the atmosphere like paraffin candles do. ![]() On the other hand, paraffin candles are made from petroleum oil. Soy candles are natural since they’re made from vegetable oil (soybeans). Here are some reasons why so many people switched to soy candles over regular candles which are made from paraffin. 5 top reasons to buy soy candles vs paraffin candles ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It kind of just blossomed, from an accident. From there, I started reviewing for The Herald on Sunday, when Nicky Pellegrino did the book pages, then Canvas. We got some nice feedback about those reviews so we decided to occasionally do fiction reviews alongside the legal textbooks and true crimes. Can I review those? Can I review crime novels?” So I did. And my boss said to me, “Craig, have you read any good books lately? Can you write a book review to fill pages?” And I told her “Well, I’ve actually just read these two really cool New Zealand crime novels, one called The Ringmaster by Vanda Symon, and one called Cemetery Lake by Paul Cleave. ![]() I was working for a legal magazine and one day when someone didn’t file their article we were stuck with a blank page, and we were going to the printer the next day. And I was like, oh, yeah, I read those when I was at Richmond primary school.īut I started reviewing in 2008 completely by accident. But after talking to Linwood Barclay, the great Canadian crime writer, he talked about The Hardy Boys as crime fiction. I used to say I started with Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes. I mean, I’ve been reading crime since I was a kid, starting with The Hardy Boys. I’d only done a few little events, but I’d been reviewing for a while. Had you done much in the way of bookish work before that? Crime is a huge part of the market: for readers, libraries and bookshops. When I was thinking of starting the Ngaios, I could see that the romance writers in New Zealand had their awards and sci-fi/fantasy had the Sir Julius Vogel Awards. And that’s OK, but we just didn’t have that other award to honour that kind of book. There have been some crime-esque novels that have won or been shortlisted, but they’re often thought of as novels that have a lot of crime. I think they model themselves on things like the Booker Prize, or the Miles Franklin in Australia. Why do you think those awards tend to overlook crime? In New Zealand, no matter how well written, no matter how experimental, no matter how genre-busting, or whatever, the chances are we’d get overlooked for the Montanas. Over in the UK, if a crime writer wrote a great book, but they were getting ignored by the Booker Prize, it was fine because there was the CWA Daggers and now other awards like the Theakston Old Peculiar Crime Novel of the Year, so they had their own way of honouring the best of the genre. All our contemporaries in the English-speaking Commonwealth had crime writing awards, except for us. I used to say, at the time, that New Zealand was the only English-speaking country other than Belize not to have a crime writing award: there were UK awards, multiple American crime writing awards, Australia had the Ned Kellys, Canada had the Arthur Ellis awards. Cheers! Let’s start with the awards: why did you start the Ngaio Marsh Awards?Ĭraig Sisterson: The basic answer is that I felt there was a significant gap, both in terms of New Zealand crime writing in a global sense, and New Zealand crime writing within the local scene. After ordering a pint (Craig) and a half (me) of Brixton IPA we spoke about his decade of supporting crime writers in Aotearoa.Ĭlaire Mabey: It’s so lovely to finally meet you Craig. Since we were finally in the same city, we decided to meet at his local: an olde worlde pub called Charles Holden. Probably because, although he manages to get home fairly regularly, Craig lives in London. I’ve heard a lot about Craig Sisterson over the years – as the “crime guy” from the Ngaio Marsh Awards and Twitter, and through word of mouth, too – but somehow we’d never met in person. Books editor Claire Mabey sits down with Craig Sisterson, mastermind of the Ngaio Marsh Awards, at the Charles Holden pub in Colliers Wood, London. ![]() ![]() If you have an android phone, check the app store to see if you can download the best apps for toddlers your kids will love and put them on your tablet.

In 1974, an investigation found Mattel guilty of issuing false and misleading financial reports, which led to the banishing of Elliot and Ruth Handler from the company they had founded. Mattel sold the circus corporation by December 1973, despite its profit contributions, as Mattel showed a $29.9 million loss in 1972. and Barnum & Bailey Circus from the Feld family for $40 million, whom Mattel kept as management.

In 1969, Mattel changed the Mattel Creations and the "Mattel, Inc. That year also saw another doll release, this time, Christie, Barbie's friend and the first black doll, which in the following years and decades would spawn an endless line of Barbie-themed and branded family and friends. Hot Wheels was invented by a team of Mattel inventors, which included a rocket scientist and a car designer. On May 18, 1968, Hot Wheels was released to the market. In 1967, Mattel released another toy astronaut, Major Matt Mason. Barbie traveled to the moon four years before Neil Armstrong. In 1965, the company built on its success with the Chatty Cathy doll to introduce the See 'n Say talking toy, spawning a line of products. The Barbie Dreamhouse made with cardboard and paper made its debut in 1962, when also the Astronaut Barbie, the first of many space-themed iterations of the doll, was introduced. Mattel also acquired a number of like-minded companies during the 1960s (see table to your right on a desktop and below for mobile computers). The company went public in 1960 and became listed on the New York Stock Exchange 3 years later. In 1960, Mattel introduced Chatty Cathy, a talking doll that was voiced by June Foray and revolutionized the toy industry, leading to pull-string talking dolls and toys flooding the market throughout the 1960s and 1970s.
