Giveaway: The Legend of Korra – The Complete Series Limited Edition Steelbook Collection

 

Nickelodeon’s critically acclaimed, Emmy® Award-winning The Legend of Korra animated series receives the SteelBook® treatment as The Legend of Korra – The Complete Series Limited Edition Steelbook Collection arrives on March 16, 2021. The 4-book collection features stunning new artwork by artist Caleb Thomas, with each book featuring a different element (Fire, WaterEarth, and Air). The front covers combine to showcase Korra’s physical journey to become the Avatar, while the back covers represent pivotal moments in her spiritual journey. Thomas also designed the covers of the Avatar: The Last Airbender SteelBook® and was handpicked to design both collections’ covers after series co-creator and executive producer Bryan Konietzko became a fan of Thomas’ art style on social media. The collection’s production run will be limited to 10,000 units.
 

 

Created by Konietzko and Michael Dante DiMartino, The Legend of Korra picks up seventy years after the end of the Avatar: The Last Airbender story arc with brand-new characters and settings. The series follows the new Avatar, Korra, as she faces the difficult challenges, duties, and responsibilities that come with being the Avatar. The series aired on Nickelodeon and Nick.com from April 2012 through December 2014, garnering both critical and audience acclaim while also winning Annie® and Primetime Emmy® awards. The series features the same iconic blend of anime and traditional animation as the original Avatar: The Last Airbender series, alongside a talented voice cast including Janet Varney (TV’s “Stan Against Evil”, “You’re the Worst”), David Faustino (TV’s “Married with Children”, “DreamWorks Dragons”, “Dragons: Race to the Edge”), P.J. Byrne (The Wolf of Wall Street, TV’s “Big Little Lies”), J.K. Simmons (WhiplashSpider-Man, TV’s “Gravity Falls”, “Ultimate Spider-Man”), Seychelle Gabriel (TV’s “Falling Skies”), Dee Bradley Baker (TV’s “Avatar: The Last Airbender”, “SpongeBob SquarePants”, “Gravity Falls”, “Star Wars: The Clone Wars”), and Mindy Sterling (Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery, TV’s “A.N.T. Farm”, “Chowder”).
 
The Legend of Korra – The Complete Series Limited Edition Steelbook Collection will be available on March 16, 2021 from Paramount Home Entertainment and Nickelodeon Home Entertainment for $97.99.

With these below Spring titles from Boys Town, young kids can feel supported during these challenging times and find ways to express their emotions—and themselves:

Freddie, our lovable fly, is tappin’ and flappin’ his way to trouble. He whirls around to and fro, buzzing from one distraction to another. Is it any wonder he forgets his lunch, fails his spelling test and leaves the house semi-undressed? Freddie is a go-go-go kind of guy who has no time to listen, focus or pay attention. His lack of concentration causes a real fright when he finds himself lost and alone at the zoo. Will that be the scare Freddie needs to finally take action and turn his BEE on and his BUZZ off?

Readers in pre-K through grade 5 will love finding the answers in this delightfully insightful tale. Using the Bee On, Buzz Off method that Freddie learns can provide kids with the tools they need to pay attention and remember important information. Written by Kimberly Delude, this is the third book in the Freddie the Fly series.

All kids like to move, but some kids just can’t seem to stop. These kids have a hard time sitting still at home and at school. They may seem inattentive. That’s why it is important to teach them strategies for controlling their bodies and strategies for focusing. Included at the end are tips for parents and educators. 31 pgs.

How Can You Help Kids to Care for New Pets and Ensure That Their Pet Has a Great Life?

Picture Credit

There comes a time throughout every single childhood where parents will hear the dreaded question ‘Can I have a pet?’. Although pet ownership can be filled with benefits for kids, such as giving them companionship and teaching them life skills, the day-to-day care that pets need can often be left to the parents. Then, to make sure that your kid’s new pet gets the best life possible and that your kid can look after them well, read on. 

Take Them to a Vet 

Before you bring your new pet home, you should make sure that you sign up for a nearby vet’s surgery, like those that are run by easyvet. This will enable you to smooth down any worries that you have about your new pet’s health. Not only will vets be able to give you advice on how to care for your new pet well, but they can also teach kids about their pet and the full responsibility that pet ownership entails. If your child is usually well behaved when out of the house, there is no reason why you should avoid taking them to routine check-ups and using the experience as a learning curve for your kids. 

Teach Them About Responsibility 

The most important step to take to make sure that your kid looks after their pet well is to teach them about their pet’s needs and the responsibility that is required from all pet owners. You can do this by printing out activity sheets online or even taking them to workshops at your local pet store or rescue center, where kids can experience the joy and difficulties of pet ownership hands-on. You can also do this by taking the lead and showing them through your own actions how to look after a pet well. 

When you are introducing a new pet into your home, you should always allow your kid to have some responsibility, even if this is as little as feeding them once a day or taking them for a walk. 

Always Supervise Them 

However well-behaved your kid is, overexcitement can lead to your child irritating your pet by failing to read body language and by giving them fuss when they do not want it. This can lead to bites and scratches and can even dampen your pet’s quality of life. To make sure that your pet can get on well with your kids, you should always make sure that you supervise their interactions, especially at first. You should also give your pet a kid-free zone that they can go to if they are feeling scared or if they want some alone time. 

Make Pet Ownership Fun 

Owning a pet should be a fun and rewarding experience for your kids, which can benefit your pet by allowing them to form a close bond with your child. To enable this, you should avoid nagging your child about performing chores, as this will make them reluctant to do them, and you should schedule playtime with your new pet every single day. 

The changing nature of universities

Picture Credit

Having a degree and completing higher education is a cornerstone for young people and shapes their future careers tremendously. Considering the importance of future employment and qualifications, the decision of higher education is pivotal to young people. A degree is a valuable product, and figuring out what kind and where to purchase it requires in depth research from each prospective applicant. This pushes universities to promote their brand while meeting the demand and providing a quality experience for generations to come. To complicate matters though, there are a wide variety of degrees and myriad universities to choose from. Consequently, picking an alma mater is characterized by an information overload for prospective students. Moreover, their decision will only be as good as the facts they base it on. It is therefore important for them to know about the right opportunities which exist out there. 

The question arises, how can universities ensure that they are noticed by students while standing out from their competitors?

New marketing strategies to the rescue 

As more people spend their lives online, a lot of processes have changed and have been integrated within this new digital framework. One such process is university hunting and consequent applications. To ensure that universities are seen by future students, it is therefore also important for educational institutions to transform their digital presence to reach out. 

Based on data-driven technology, an enrollment management agency allows higher educational institutions to get the attention of students that might make a great fit for the university or college. This can be efficient as only students interested in what the institution has to offer will get in touch and inquire about further details. This offers another opportunity for universities and colleges to emphasize their strong points in direct contact with the students. 

Rebranding

However, while utilizing marketing strategies can enhance visibility and accessibility, universities have to do their part too. While a few universities and colleges enjoy world recognition and a reputation that travels ahead of them, many others need to find their strength on less determined and secure paths. 

With changing enrollment numbers, strategies frequently revolve around adapting the business model, which is associated with diversification and moving away from offering only a few and specialized degrees but rather branching out to other fields. This does not come without its risks, as success is not guaranteed, and competition remains fierce. That means that while changing and adapting to the times is down to each university, rebranding is only worth as much if the message reaches the right people. Getting in touch with marketing experts is consequently an important aspect of achieving those rebranding goals. 

The College Experience

While a degree and ideally heightened employment chances are at the end of a university or college education, students often associate other benefits with the college experience – ranging from a place where you can learn from your mistakes and ease into adulthood to making friends for life. When considering why young people continue to choose to attend higher education, it is therefore important to think about the social aspects of that journey. This will allow universities to shape their student communities in ways that are accommodating to all their students while offering the experiences that will inspire others to join.

Adapting to the times

Universities and colleges nowadays are confronted with many challenges when it comes to their institutional survival. While focused marketing campaigns allow institutions to reach more prospective students, institutions themselves are also responsible for providing a quality education which their students pay for. Finding that balance while facing strong competition and potentially insecure resources is not an easy task. However, using the right strategy can help master it.

Each recipe comes with useful information—from preparation tricks that help reduce mess, to ideas for how to use leftovers, all the way to icebreakers for starting fun conversations around the table.

 

The no -nonsense, nutritious recipes in this cookbook are designed to get the whole family in the kitchen, enjoying comforting foods, and making memories. This book serves up tasty, budget-friendly dishes that home cooks and their kids can prepare with less stress.
