## Reviews

The United States Department of Education's Institute of Education Sciences in What Works Clearinghouse, in June 2016, found Accelerated Reader to have mixed effects on comprehension for beginning readers.
Accelerated Readers critics say it limits a student's recreational reading to a list of books that fall in their book level, in order to accrue "points", and that the system trivializes books and undermines reading by reducing it to a competitive game. Susan Straight in The New York Times says, "the passion and serendipity of choosing a book at the library based on the subject or the cover of the first page is nearly gone, as well as the excitement of reading a book simply for pleasure. This is not all the fault of Renaissance, which I believe is trying to help schools encourage students to read."

# Charles Duncan Griffith

Colonel Charles Duncan Griffith CMG (5 September 1830 – 17 October 1906) was a British colonial administrator and army officer.
The career of Griffith has been a varied and interesting one, having fought for, and served his country with distinction in a variety of capacities. His father, a captain of the Royal Marines, landed on the shores of the Cape in 1818. Twelve years later Griffith was born at Grahamstown. He was educated there and at Cape Town; his father introduced merino sheep into the Cape Colony.
Colonel Griffith next featured as a fighter in the 1840s; he fought in all the Kaffir Wars of the period. He was a lieutenant in the Hottentot Levy, also in the Kaffir Police; and was a captain commanding the former in the Kaffir War of 1851–52. For his services he was awarded the medal, and repeatedly commended in General Orders. He was appointed Civil Commissioner and Resident Magistrate of Albert in 1858, and was subsequently promoted to the districts of Queenstown, Grahamstown, and Albany. By special request of Sir Philip Wodehouse, he was transferred in 1869 to the important division of King William’s Town.
In 1871 he was Governor’s Agent and Chief Magistrate of British Basutoland. Six years later he was again in the “tented field” commanding the Frontier Armed Mounted Police Force. He quelled, in that year, the outbreak of the Galeka and Gaika tribes, at which period he ranked in the Transkei Command as a colonel in His Majesty’s Army, and was commander-in-chief of the Imperial and Colonial Troops on the eastern side of the Kei River.
Later he was made Commandant-General of the whole of the Colonial Forces of the colony, and soon afterwards received the cordial thanks of both Houses of Parliament for the great services he had rendered the country.
In the field of politics he has not been less successful, as was evidenced in 1888 when he contested the Tembuland and defeated a strong opponent. At the general election of the same year he was returned unopposed for the same seat.
Griffith returned to England after his service in the Cape and resided at 30, St. James’ Road, Southernwood, East London, he married Dorothea Mounsey Gilfillan, the daughter of 1820 Settler, Lieutenant William Frederick Anderson Gilfillan, C.C., of the Cradock District.
Sir Henry Barkly was appointed High Commissioner of the Cape Colony on 31 December 1871. He annexed Basutoland and Charles Griffith was appointed Chief Magistrate and Governor's Agent.
# Minarapa Rangihatuake

Minarapa Rangihatuake (?–1893) was a New Zealand Methodist missionary responsible for the first Wellington church. Of Māori descent, he identified with the Ngā Māhanga (Taranaki) iwi. He was active from about 1839 in Taranaki.

## Early life

Also known as Minarapa Te Atua-kē, was born in the early nineteenth century in Taranaki. He was of the Ngā Māhanga. In an attack against the Taranaki tribes, he was taken captive by Waikato. Then, while in the Waikato, he was captured by Ngāpuhi.

## Missionary influence

The rise of missionary influence led the captives to liberation and those who adopted Christianity went to reside in mission stations. Minarapa ended up in the Wesleyans' Māngungu Mission in the Hokianga. There he was appointed a lay preacher for which he received £1 and four white shirts as payment. In 1839 he went as a missionary to his Taranaki people then residing at Te Whanganui-a-Tara (Wellington Harbour). In 1842 he returned to Taranaki. Wiremu Te Kāhui Kararehe was a son of his.

# David Gottfried (politician)

David Gottfried is an American politician. A member of the Minnesota Democratic-Farmer-Labor Party, he was elected to the Minnesota House of Representatives in a special election on March 11, 2025, to represent district 40B in Ramsey County.

## Minnesota House of Representatives

After Representative Jamie Becker-Finn announced her retirement from Minnesota House of Representatives, two candidates emerged for the seat: Gottfried and Curtis Johnson. After the DFL endorsed Johnson, Gottfried withdrew from the race and did not appear on the primary ballot that August. Johnson was elected in November 2024 by over 7,000 votes, but after a judge ruled he did not meet residency requirements in the district, Johnson's election was invalidated and the seat remained vacant.
Governor Tim Walz called a special election for January 28, 2025, and amid a crowded field of candidates, Gottfried won the DFL endorsement. The other candidates then withdrew from the race. After the writ of election was ruled invalid, a new date was set for March 11, 2025, and Gottfried defeated Republican nominee Paul Wikstrom by a 40-point margin. His election returned the Minnesota House of Representatives to a tie between DFL and Republican control after the vacancy had given Republicans a one-seat majority.
Gottfried was sworn in on March 18, 2025. He sits on the Agriculture Finance and Policy, Education Policy, and Environment and Natural Resources Finance and Policy committees.

# Sceloporus uniformis

Sceloporus uniformis, also known as the yellow-backed spiny lizard, is a reptile of the family Phrynosomatidae. It is native to the Mojave, Great Basin, and San Joaquin deserts. Until recently, it was considered to be a subspecies of Sceloporus magister.

## Taxonomy

Sceloporus uniformis was originally described as a subspecies of Sceloporus magister in 1955. In 2006, genetic analysis revealed that S. uniformis is sufficiently distinct to merit classification as its own species.

## Description

S. uniformis is a large robust lizard, and adults can grow to 5.5 inches in body length (snout-to-vent), with a tail slightly longer than the body. Color is brown or tan with yellow and black dorsal stripes or mottling and a black collar on the sides of the neck.
Males are larger than females, and have a swollen tail base, enlarged postanal scales and femoral pores, and bluish markings on the throat and belly. Females have a pale throat and underbelly, with faint or no blue markings. The head of a female may be orange or reddish in the breeding season.

## Range, habitat, and diet

This lizard is native to the Mojave, Great Basin, and San Joaquin deserts. It is endemic to the United States, and can be found in California, Nevada, Utah, and Arizona. S. uniformis can be found living in desert flats, semiarid plains, low mountain slopes, and riparian woods.
Although S. uniformis is primarily an ambush predator, on occasion it will actively forage. This species will eat a variety of small invertebrates and their larvae including ants, beetles, grasshoppers, spiders, centipedes, and caterpillars. Occasionally, small lizards, nestling birds, leaves, flowers and berries are also consumed.

## Behavior

Like many desert species, S. uniformis basks in the morning on rocks or any hard surface that is in direct sunlight. It will seek shelter, usually underground in burrows, during the hottest part of the day in the summertime. It hibernates in late fall and during the cold months of winter before re-emerging in spring.
