Gary Paulson's book's are good for that age range. Most of his work is more serious in tone and survivalist (stuck in nature survivalist not doomsday bunker survivalist). Harris and Me is more biographical comedy.
O. Henry was my favorite author at that age, and still something that I revisit. It is written in an older dialect which can be a put off for some people.
That's a good age for mythology. Greek mythology is the easiest to find kid appropriate translations of but Norse mythology is full of daring rogue stories.
The Dangerous Book for Boys is a fun reference book.
You may be thinking of charcoal. Coal is a mineral that is mined and is a fossil fuel.
Yes, my grandparents had a potbelly stove that they used for heat. A coal tripple was about a quarter of a mile from our house and we could walk down the railroad tracks and collect a bucket full.
From what I can find Apple and Google bowed to political pressure and removed all apps designed to do this. Unfortunately I can't find a working alternative right now. Thanks for pointing this out to me.
Not so far.
I couldn't decide what I wanted and wondered if Kbin would let me change it later.
ACLU's Mobile Justice app automatically uploads videos to ACLU servers.
I duel degreed in undergraduate earning a BA and a BS simultaneously. The classes in my BA major used MLA and the classes in my BS major used APA. It seems like it was the same in my gen eds, arts classes tended to use MLA and science classes APA. I liked MLA better, APA wants more concise writing and I tend to be somewhat wordy. In my professional career I mostly deal with spreadsheets and autogenerated reports.
Highschool has very limited specialization. You learn lots of stuff you'll never use because they are trying to give students a wide base of basic knowledge and skills that will be built upon wherever you go next. It is meant to prepare you for a job or a college major but not any specific job or college major. You specialize more in the next step and the further you advance the more specialized you get.
The no preservatives label needs better regulation. Every food that has it is loaded with either salt or sugar. The reason that they are loaded with salt and/or sugar is because salt and sugar are two of the oldest and most used preservatives. And that's my soapbox, thanks for listening.
I was so disappointed the first time I went to Trader Joe's. It had been so hyped up and people made it sound like a mini Jungle Jim's. Then it opened and it was just a more expensive Aldi.
