In recent years, the cannabis market has seen an explosion of new products designed to cater to a variety of preferences and needs. Among these innovations are THCA vape carts, which offer a unique way to experience cannabis. If you are new to THCA vape carts, understanding what they are and how they work can help you make an informed decision about incorporating them into your cannabis routine.
What is THCA?
THCA, or tetrahydrocannabinolic acid, is the precursor to THC tetrahydrocannabinol, the well-known psychoactive compound in cannabis. THCA is found in raw cannabis and does not produce a high when consumed in its natural form. It is only after the process of decarboxylation, typically through heating, that THCA is converted into THC, which has psychoactive effects.
What Are THCA Vape Carts?
THCA vape carts are vape cartridges filled with THCA concentrate. These cartridges are designed to be used with a compatible vape pen or battery, making them a convenient and discreet option for cannabis consumption. The vaping process involves heating the concentrate to a temperature where it vaporizes, allowing you to inhale the cannabinoids without combustion.
Benefits of THCA Vape Carts
Purity and Potency: THCA vape carts often contain high concentrations of best thca vape, providing a potent and pure product. This means you can experience the effects of THCA without the psychoactive properties of THC.
Convenience: Vape carts are portable and easy to use. They offer a discreet way to consume cannabis without the strong smell associated with smoking.
Precision: Vaping allows for more precise dosage control compared to other methods of consumption. This is particularly useful for those who want to manage their intake of cannabinoids more carefully.
Health Considerations: Vaping is generally considered less harsh on the lungs than smoking. The absence of combustion means fewer harmful byproducts are produced.
How to Use THCA Vape Carts
Select Your Vape Pen: Ensure you have a vape pen or battery that is compatible with your THCA vape cart. Most vape carts are designed to fit standard 510-threaded batteries.
Attach the Cart: Screw the vape cart onto the battery until it is securely in place.
Power On: Turn on your vape pen according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Some pens require pressing a button while inhaling, while others are draw-activated.
Inhale: Gently inhale the vapor. Start with small puffs to gauge the effects and adjust your dosage as needed.
Store Properly: Keep your vape carts in a cool, dark place to preserve their potency and freshness.
THCA vape carts offer a unique way to experience the benefits of cannabis without the psychoactive effects typically associated with THC. They provide a convenient, discreet, and potentially healthier alternative to traditional smoking. If you are new to vaping, start slowly and find what works best for you. With the right approach, THCA vape carts can be a valuable addition to your cannabis toolkit.

I would use a laptop monitor, but not that often, simply because it can be very harsh on your eyes. (my eyes are very light sensitive anyway).It's the same train of thought that looking too long into a bright sky, can change how you view the colours your trying to observe - so generally when looking into a bright light source, only glance for a few seconds..
Macpherson ( american plein air artist) ,writes that he uses a slide projector, that has the capability to project onto a t.v like screen or a wall. He sets the projector in from of him and responds as if on location.
Ideally I try to get the most information down outdoors as possible, as a photograph, particularly for landscapes, can flatten an image, the depth of field and nuances of colour can be lost.But for reference material,or a bit of tweaking they're extremely helpful..
Since so many high resolution TVs now have usb ports for loading dig. photos and these can be very large suitable for mounting on the wall and be viewable from some distance thereby reducing the potential eye strain ( Karen ), I wondered if anybody had used these in the studio. Say 30-34 inches. So maybe better than a PC?
I'm thinking of moving in the direction you are suggesting William. I have used the slide projector and think this is the nearest thing to being on location. The drawback is that you need to have low light conditions in the studio and because you have the projector on the same slide for long periods of time the light/heat from the bulb begins to affect the slide.
Just use your memory! its more creative that way
I always take a photo of the scene, but usually only use it to post on my blog along with any paintings. I used to use them to check things afterwards, such as the shape of distant mountains, but the more I realised the inadequacies of the camera, the less I did this. If you think about it,
photos don't capture anything like the colours the human eye sees, so they are useless for that,
they can only differentiate between mid-scale values, overstaing most lights and darks (shadows have little or no value variation and are usually too dark, while bright areas such as skies and water come out looking white), so they are no good for that either,
and they don't even capture the shape of things accurately (unless you ave a few grand to spare for a high end one) - most cameras tend to stretch things horizontally, understating things such as the height of distant mountains.
I'm totally in agreement with Paddy on this. Forget the camera and you will inevitably produce more creative work, which will increasingly be more about you than the scene.
I have never used back up in this manner. It is tempting especially when one is dealing with the winter landscape. However I think one would have to be careful of "edges"
I agree with Paddy & Michael more creative to work from memory .. I do however take photos to refresh my memory but try not to slavishly work from them. Have used PC & Laptop just to skim through photos but never the TV (mine's quite old compared to the laptop/PC monitors).

The Kiowa National Grasslands consists of 137,000 acres of public land in Northeast New Mexico set aside to protect and restore the shortgrass prairie habitat. The National Grasslands are managed by the Cibola National Forest, of the United States Department of Agriculture’s US Forest Service. The grasslands are open to public access and are suitable for camping, hiking, hunting, bicycling, and wildlife watching.
The Kiowa National Grasslands are located in two separate areas, one being the Mills Canyon and Roy area and the other being near Clayton. The grassland areas are organized into small properties, called Units, which are often irregular-shaped, surrounded by private property, and sometimes unmarked. Access into some Units may require crossing private property, which should only be done with the landowner’s permission.
Either the Roy area or the Clayton grassland area is close enough to Raton for an easy day trip, but since the highlight of the open prairie is the sunrise and sunset, an overnight stay is warranted. All of the photos on this page are from the Clayton area, and more specifically, most are from Units 66 and 67 where the Santa Fe Trail crosses the National Grasslands.
The Santa Fe Trail is marked by upright stone columns with embedded trail emblems. If you miss a column, can’t determine the historic trail location, and end up wandering the prairie… you might find a cow skull, historic ruins, or prehistoric artifacts out in the shortgrass prairie.
Easier to spot at a distance than the stone markers, windmills appear on the maps and are an easy navigation aid.
For general navigation and locating Units, the USDA Forest Service map, Kiowa and Rita Blanca National Grasslands, is invaluable. For more critical navigation such as determining hunting boundaries, there are more detailed topo quadrangle maps available. There is also a staffed Forest Service ranger office in Clayton.

Arsenal and Liverpool would need a ‘highly immoral offer’ if they were to convince Eintracht Frankfurt to sell Hugo Larsson in the January transfer window.
That’s according to SportBILD, who report that the German club have absolutely no intention to let Larsson depart midway through this season.
The newspaper reports that Larsson has become a key player for Frankfurt since arriving last summer, making himself an integral part of the team and earning plenty of admirers.
Big European clubs have him on their list and a report recently named Arsenal and Liverpool as being among them. According to SportBILD’s information, the pair have been watching the national player for a long time.
Frankfurt are aware of this and have made it clear that they don’t want to sell the midfielder in January. Only a ‘high immoral offer’ could tempt those in charge to think twice about that.
There’s also doubt about whether Larsson would want to leave anyway as he feels at home at the club and only extended his deal of 4 October.
Arsenal, Liverpool and others could test that resolve if they wish but it will take a big bid for them to do so.

Palmeiras are convinced that they will bring Arsenal’s Gabriel Jesus back to the club at some point in future, but a move in the coming months is unlikely.
That’s according to UOL, who say those in charge at the Brazilian club believe Jesus still has a market in Europe and so will be sold there if Arsenal move him on.
Reports over the last few months have linked Palmeiras with a move for their former star, with big signings expected ahead of their participation in the expanded Club World Cup next summer.
Jesus was seen as ‘gettable’, with it believed he’s now on the fringes of Mikel Arteta’s plans moving forwards.
There’s also been continued links to other forwards around Europe, with Sporting Club de Portugal’s Viktor Gyökeres the hot name.
But UOL say even if Arsenal were to sign Gyökeres or someone else, Palmeiras are ‘not so sure’ that they would be able to bring Jesus back.
The Alviverde board believe the 27-year-old ‘still has a lot of market’ in Europe and his current income is incompatible with the economic reality of Brazilian football. In plain English, clubs in Europe still want him and his wages are far too high for them to consider.
Palmeiras are sure that Jesus will return to the club at some point in the future and know that is the striker’s ‘personal desire’ but for now, the time for ‘repatriation’ has not yet come.
They’re still planning a signing to replace Endrick and President Leila Pereira has promised the squad will be reinforced for the summer, but those signings will be ‘in line with the markets’ of recent years and not include the Arsenal striker.

Rafa Benitez could soon be far away from his Liverpool home, the Reds, Everton and all the other clubs he’s managed in Europe by taking a job in Brazil, according to claimsfrom the country.
Journalist Gabrie Sá writes on Twitter that São Paulo have opened talks to sign the Spaniard.
It’s said the negotiations kicked off on Sunday, right after consulting agent Giuliano Bertolucci.
The talks with Benitez seem to be going well, with the report claiming the coach ‘likes the project’ and there’s ‘optimism’ about a happy ending.
A new meeting for the former Liverpool and Everton boss is now set to take place in the ‘coming hours’.
São Paulo had been doing great last year, when they won the Brazilian Cup, and ended up losing manager Dorival Junior to the national team. His substitute, Thiago Carpini, is having a disastrous start to the season, and even though he hasn’t been officially sacked yet, it isn’t exactly a shock that they’re already looking for a new manager.
Benitez, who managed Liverpool between 2004 and 2019 and Everton between 2021 and 2022, had his last job at Celta Vigo, leaving the Spanish club last month.
A move to South American football would certainly be interesting.

The Thrill Of The Hunt By Jillian Lopiccolo
Well, this was my second time Turkey hunting, and my first successful kill. I had gone out one time before last year, but never had a shot at anything. My brother Sam is the one who got me interested in hunting. He is my hunting partner and best friend. Without him I would’ve never become so interested in hunting, fishing, and the outdoors. I have been hunting since I was 14 years old, and since then I have shot 4 bucks with my bow, 1 with my rifle, a 4-horn Jacobs Ram, and now my very first Tom Turkey.
My brother and I woke up around 4 am on May 15th, 2004. It was a chilly morning, but calm, and no rain in the forecast. I was very excited and couldn’t wait to head out into the woods. We had about an hour drive to his friend Gary’s house where we would be hunting. The whole drive there I was picturing a big Tom, all fanned out, strutting towards some Hens. His beard dragging on the ground and a beautiful fan of feathers shining in the sun behind him. When we finally arrived at Gary’s, we gathered all our gear and headed into the woods. We set up our pop-up blind, decoys, and did some calling, but no luck. We stayed there for a while and then decided to try another spot since we hadn’t seen anything or heard any gobbles.
After finding a new spot, we began unloading our gear and putting our vests and back-packs on, when out of the silence, we heard a Gobble…and it sounded close! The three of us just looked at each other and smiled. We all knew what to do. We grabbed our stuff as fast as we could and headed into the woods again to set up before this Turkey made it to the gas line where we believed it was heading. We ran through the woods and once we arrived at the gas line, set up as quickly as possible. The pop-up blind, chairs, camera, and decoys were set up in minutes. Once we were all situated in the blind and the camera was rolling, we started doing some calls. Every time we did a call, a gobble followed. The gobbles were getting closer and closer until finally he popped out at the edge of the gas- line about 250 yards away. My heart began to race. Gary did the calling while my brother video-taped. This Tom was fanned out and strutting down the gas line trying to impress the decoys we had set up. I couldn’t believe it, it was like a dream!!! Every few steps he took, he puffed out his feathers. Step by step he got closer and closer.
My heart began to beat even faster. He finally stepped into shooting range, and I slowly raised my shotgun to my shoulder and waited for the right moment. I waited patiently for him to bring his head up and put his beautiful fan of feathers down. Finally, with a few quick strikes on the slate call, his head quickly popped up, and I pulled the trigger. I made a perfect shot!! We quickly jumped out of the blind to make sure he was down for good, which he was. We flipped him over, checked out his beard which was 8 1/2 inches long and then fanned out his feathers. He was just beautiful. I sat there for a minute and just thought about how amazing and beautiful the outdoors and nature truly are. My brother and Gary both congratulated me on my first Turkey and we took some pictures on the scene.
This was my first successful Turkey hunt, and I hope it is not my last because it was an unbelievable experience. I was so happy that my brother was there to see me shoot my first turkey, and video tape it so that the rest of my family and friends can see it and appreciate the outdoors as much as we do.
I hope you liked the story of my hunt. Many women don’t get much recognition as hunters, and this means a lot to me and it is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I always try to serve a vegetable with dinner, be it in the dish or on the side. Lately I’ve been in a rut with my go-to’s roasted vegetables or salad. Last week at the grocery store I picked up a package of broccolini with the goal of not shoving in the oven and roasting it with olive oil, salt and pepper. I also picked up a bag of Meyer lemons.
Meyer lemons are the royalty lemons. Not only do they have more juice than a normal lemon the skin is editable. I was really tempted to roast the brocclini with lemon slices because I think that would be amazing. But instead a pan sautéed it with butter and dressed it with an amazing honey lemon sauce.
This dish has the trifecta of awesomeness: sweet + salt+ acid. It also tastes great cold and would make a lovely cold side dish in the summer.
Meyer Lemon Honey Butter Broccolini
- 1 lb broccolini
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 Meyer lemons juiced
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 3 teaspoons salt.
In a large skillet add 1/2 cup of water, 1 teaspoon salt and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice and bring to a boil. Add broccolini and blanch for 1 minute. Drain and reserve broccolini.
In small bowl combine lemon juice, honey and salt.
On medium heat melt butter. Add broccolini and cook unit tender turning frequently, about 4 minutes.
Plate broccolini and drizzle lemon honey mixture over the top.

Alf Barbagallo’s taste for speed and performance saw him irresistibility drawn to the world of racing.
Alf Barbagallo is the most successful sprintcar driver at Claremont Speedway, winning 79.5 feature races after dead heating with Ray Geneve on November 27, 1970.
Alf’s love for racing started in the early 1960’s, when as a 20-year-old he went to Wattle Grove Speedway and was challenged by his then girlfriend to ‘have a go’ – where in a borrowed hot-rod he was forced off the track, over a dirt embankment and into a small pond.
He quickly became a well-known-name on the track, and by the age of 25 he was the idol of Claremont Speedway fans. His racing career was very much a family affair, with son Troy and daughter Mia his biggest fans. In 1983, other drivers ate the dust of the man they called ‘Mr Sprintcar’. In 1986 Alf won his sixth state sprintcar championship. At age of 45, in 1987, he won the inaugural round of World Series Sprintcars at Claremont Speedway.
These wins lead him to become the 6-time Western Australian champion and in the 1999-2000 he was proudly inducted into the Claremont Speedway Hall of Fame. His years in dominating the WA sprintcar scene has mean that he has well and truly made his mark on WA’s racetracks.
We look forward to honouring Alf on Saturday the 19th of February at the Perth Motorplex at the Mr Sprintcar Alf Barbagallo 77 evening. We wish all the drivers on the evening, all the best.

Malagamba Restaurant! Now you know where to find great food in the Old City.
mmmMalagamba! Enjoy life. Taste it the Malagamba way.
THE GOOD TASTE OF LIFE
In the Historical Centre of Bucharest is a place where there has been a merging of cultures both in terms of time and place. This place is a restaurant called Malagamba. It combines Romanian history with Italian cuisine, Oriental spices, wine and drink from as far away as Chile and
Spain. The policy of the Irish owner John, is to only use the best of ingredients in an effort to offer only a top quality experience.
Everything is done in the Malagambist spirit. For those of you who don’t know the origin of this great sounding name, Sergiu Malagamba was a great Romanian trendsetter, a percussion genius who brought western fashion and music to Romania. In the late ’30s and early ’40s he started what became known as Malagambism. He was imprisoned at various times by regimes that feared his influence over the youth through his music, fashion and style.
Malagamba restaurant was not named by accident: the location is in a prewar building not far from the Rhapsody Theatre where Malagamba performed a series of historical concerts. The place takes from the Malagamba sprit in it’s design and outlook. The walls are used to offer new and upcoming artists a place to exhibit their works, the clientele come from all over, the food and drinks are specially prepared to offer something different, something special, something… malagambist!

Maybe you didn't realise, maybe you did; There are laws governing the use of ice cream van music. So next time Tarquin fancies a five quid Magnum Classic from the back of a pikeys van, think about how difficult it is for the vendor. No wonder they have to sell cocaine to make ends meet. And yes.

Physician's Global Assessment of obvious to minimal was accomplished at week 12 by 14.9% placebo (13/87) and 80.5% adalimumab (272/338; < 0.001). For individuals who received adalimumab at any time during the study (All‐adalimumab Populace) treatment‐emergent adverse events (AEs) were reported by 63.4%; the most common was upper respiratory illness (16.1%). Severe AEs were reported by 3.5% of the All‐adalimumab Population and serious infectious AEs by 1.2% which include lung illness pneumonia and tuberculosis [2 (0.5%) individuals each]. There was one death (chronic heart failure). Summary In these Chinese patients with moderate‐to‐severe psoriasis a significantly higher percentage treated with adalimumab compared with placebo achieved effectiveness endpoints at week 12 and effectiveness was sustained to week 24. Security results were consistent with the Vatalanib known adalimumab security profile; no fresh security signals were recognized in the 24 weeks of treatment. Intro Psoriasis is definitely a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterized by scaly erythematous well‐defined papules and plaques and is associated with comorbidities1 2 3 4 including psoriatic arthritis depression cardiovascular disease obesity diabetes and Crohn's disease. Psoriasis together with its attendant comorbidities markedly impairs quality‐of‐existence for these individuals. The most common type of psoriasis is definitely plaque psoriasis.5 A major role in plaque formation is played by cytokines released from cutaneous antigen‐showing cells T cells and keratinocytes.6 A key pro‐inflammatory cytokine involved with the pathogenesis of psoriasis is tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF‐α). The prevalence of psoriasis in China is definitely approximately 0.12-0.47% and offers increased fourfold over the past 25 years.7 Treatment options in China for chronic plaque psoriasis include topical agents phototherapy traditional Chinese medicine and systemic agents such as methotrexate cyclosporine corticosteroids 8 9 10 as well as etanercept and infliximab which are the only biologic Rabbit Polyclonal to GFP tag. agents authorized by the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) for treatment of psoriasis in China. Adalimumab a fully human being IgG1 monoclonal antibody specific for TNF‐α is definitely a systemic biologic agent currently authorized in the United States Europe and Japan for the treatment of a wide range of inflammatory diseases including plaque psoriasis and has been authorized in China for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. We statement results from a phase 3 randomized placebo‐controlled double‐blind trial that is the 1st to evaluate the effectiveness and security of adalimumab treatment for Chinese individuals with moderate‐to‐severe plaque psoriasis (clinicaltrials.gov “type”:”clinical-trial” attrs :”text”:”NCT01646073″ term_id :”NCT01646073″NCT01646073). Methods An independent ethics committee or institutional review table in compliance with Good Clinical Practice examined and authorized the study protocol and other study‐related documents and the honest medical and medical appropriateness of Vatalanib the study prior to its conduct. The study was conducted according to the protocol International Conference on Harmonisation recommendations applicable regulations and guidelines governing clinical study conduct and the honest principles originating in the Declaration of Helsinki. Prior to any study‐related events individuals reviewed and authorized an informed consent. Individuals Adult men and women (18 years of age or older) were included in the study if they experienced a analysis of psoriasis for at least 6 months and stable plaque psoriasis for at least 2 weeks before the screening and baseline appointments. At baseline individuals experienced moderate‐to‐severe disease and experienced failed to respond to or were intolerant to earlier systemic therapy. Prior to enrolment patients were evaluated for latent tuberculosis by means of a purified protein derivative or a T‐spot test. Individuals were excluded from the study if they experienced earlier exposure to a biologic treatment or received additional systemic.

Freedom of Information Act Under Fire
Victoria, BC – Failure to comply with its own access to information rules is undermining the BC’s Governments claims of transparency and accountability according to a report by Dogwood Initiative and the University of Victoria’s Environmental Law Clinic.
In a presentation Wednesday to the Special Committee reviewing the Freedom to Information and Protection of Privacy Act the groups cited excessive delays, high fee estimates, and over zealous censoring of released documents, as among the many issues that have rendered the Act ineffective.
“It’s a nightmare,” says Dogwood Initiative’s Eric Swanson, referring to the process of obtaining information via the Act. “This essential component of our democracy has been systematically neglected and now stands withered.”
In 2008, 47% of requests made by public interest groups, the media, and political parties, the groups most responsible for holding government accountable in our democratic system, were not met in the legal time frame. It took five years for the Freedom of information and Privacy Association to gain access to some of the 600-plus page contract between the government and IBM. In contrast other public bodies had their requests responded to in a legal time frame 94% of the time.
The submission also cited the problem of excessive fees. In one case, the Sierra Legal Defence fund received a fee estimate of $24,600. After disputing the fee, the fee estimate increased to $172,947.50.
High fees and delays are also being blamed for 57% decline in Freedom of Information requests in the last 12 years. In 1995 there were 3263 requests and only 1403 in 2007.
“The Act promises not only an open and accountable government, but a government that in good faith desires to be open and accountable. These promises have not been honoured,” says Morgan Blakley author of the report and a member of the University of Victoria’s Environmental Law Clinic.
The Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) requires that the Act be reviewed by a special committee of the Legislative Assembly every six years, and the Third Special Committee will report to the House by May 31, 2010. The deadline for submissions to the Committee has been extended to February 28, 2010.

Spider-Man: Homecoming portrays a better rendition of the character than previous film adaptations have. Holland is an interesting choice, but it's nice to have a younger and somewhat innocent portrayal of Peter Parker. The choice to cast a young actor clearly bleeds into the rest of the film. Rather than focusing on heavy action, Jon Watts (Cop Car) focuses on the actual character. Quirky and constantly joking (like every other high schooler), Peter Parker is fun to watch. The genre for the film is not straight-action, but includes coming-of-age and comedy.
The one interesting aspect in terms of this adaptation is Iron Man's involvement. I had a few issues with Parker being mentored at times by Iron Man, but Robert Downey Jr. is always a pleasure in the role. Luckily even with the Iron Man inspired Spider-Man suit, Peter Parker proves that he is a hero even without it. Furthermore, Holland proves that he can rake in the Marvel money even without RDJ. I would not have complained if we did not have RDJ on the screen at all. At least with RDJ, we get to skip over Spider-Man's origin story (which we already got to see too many times in previous films).
The rest of the cast carries it's weight throughout the story to support Parker's journey. Michael Keaton (Birdman, Batman, Spotlight) is a fantastic Vulture. He literally acts like a Vulture even when he isn't in costume, constantly preying on things and scraping up whatever he can. Keaton has somehow managed to be the main actor to portray flying characters ranging from Batman to Birdman to Vulture. The supporting cast is also hand picked to perfection. Marisa Tomei (The Wrestler, The Lincoln Lawyer), Zendaya (Shake It Up!), Donald Glover (The Martian), Jon Favreau (Chef), Jacob Batalon (North Woods), and Laura Harrier (The Last Five Years) add great performances to the mix. There are quite a few reveals at the end for each of the characters. Some are good and some are a bit over-the-top, but I will leave those spoilers up to the audience's discretion.
If you want to talk about any of the spoilers, I have some strong opinions that we can discuss over Facebook!
The Bottom Line: This is undoubtedly the best big screen adaptation of our friendly neighborhood superhero!

The Humane Society of Forsyth County provides a service by taking in needy animals across North Georgia and provides for them while finding them a new home.
Current HSFC Intake Policy
As a “No-Kill” shelter, the Humane Society of Forsyth County will NEVER euthanize an animal to control the number of animals at our facility. Therefore, we can only accept the intake of animals as our capacity and resources allow. We accomplish this via a selective admission process that determines the physical and mental health of the animal. This type of testing includes, but is not limited to:
– General health screening for all animals.
– Leukemia and FIV test for all felines. A feline intake will be declined due to a positive test. In the event of a positive test result, we will provide contact information for other rescues that may be able to help.
– Temperament testing. All animals must be friendly and socialized and cannot exhibit any aggressive or extreme fearful behaviors toward other animals or humans. Please keep in mind that an animal can behave VERY differently in a stressful shelter environment than how they behave in a home setting with people they know and trust.
Adhering to this policy ensures that the animals in our care are as mentally and physically healthy as possible so they can find a life-long home quickly. If your animal is accepted into our facility, we will require a $40 pet surrender fee which will help to offset the enormous cost of feeding, housing, and veterinary services.
If you need to make the difficult decision to surrender your pet, please contact the shelter at email@example.com to discuss the process. Animals considered for intake are determined by space and resources, and cannot be guaranteed.
The Humane Society of Forsyth County cannot legally admit stray/lost pets directly into our facility. Per Georgia State Law, stray/lost pets must be taken to the animal control facility that provides for such service in the jurisdiction in which the animal was found. There are legally mandated stray hold times.
Some animal control agencies may allow the finder to hold the animal for the mandated time, but the finder must file a found pet report and make a good faith effort to reunite the pet that they have found with its legal owner. Owners who have lost a pet need a central location to find them, and the best location is their local municipal animal control facility.
Please contact your local Animal Control Agency for information on their acceptance policies for stray animals. Below is a list of the animal control agencies for the surrounding counties of Forsyth County Georgia:
– Barrow County Animal Control (770) 307-3012
– Dawson County Humane Society (706) 265-9160
– Forsyth County Animal Shelter (678) 965-7185
– Fulton County Animal Services (404) 613-0358
– Gwinnett County Animal Control (770) 339-3200
– Hall County Animal Services (678) 450-1587
– Jackson County Animal Services (706) 367-5480
– Lumpkin County Animal Control (706) 867-7297
– Stephens County Animal Control (706) 282-3275
– White County Animal Control (706) 219-2689

- Why did Jane Austen never marry?
- Who shows pride and who shows prejudice?
- How and why does Austen create comedy in the novel?
This is an up-to-date study guide to Jane Austen’s novel Pride and Prejudice, aimed at 15-19 year olds and the general reader. The guide is modern in its approach and provides all the necessary information to get a top grade in an exam and/or coursework. It is particularly useful because it not only provides the key details about Austen’s life and the social and literary influences upon the text, but also offers a detailed textual analysis of key passages in the book.
If students read the last section of the book carefully, they will not only learn about the vital sections of the text quickly, but also see how top-grade analysis can be conducted. Discussion points are provided so that students can think about the key issues related to the text. The second section of the guide would make a great classroom resource for a teacher wanting to cover the text quickly and thoroughly because students could read the key passages highlighted in the guide and answer the discussion points in their exercise books or in group discussions. This would give them invaluable practice for an exam or coursework.
The study guide is essential reading because:
- It’s a great resource for students aiming for top grades;
- It encourages students to develop personal responses to the text, which is vital if they are going to achieve at a high level;
- It’s a great classroom resource for teachers too: the important sections of the novel are quoted in full here, together with useful discussion points/comprehension questions.
You can buy the book here on Amazon.

High-resolution color imaging presents high demands on lenses. One measure of the quality of a lens for a given application is its modulation transfer function. In color imaging, this will be different for different wavelengths of light. In a very basic sense, this is a measure of the sharpness of an image as affected by the lens.
On a recent project, I needed a simple way to compare the performance of three different lenses in an application that was to use a 3-CCD color linescan camera (JAI CV-L107CL). I devised a method by which a pattern, printed on a large piece of paper, was attached to a rotating drum. The drum was rotated in front of the camera and the sharpness of the image was determined by viewing a plot of the intensities of the red, green and blue channel signals, when imaging a fine set of black lines in the image. The set up is shown here.
The first lens that I tested was a 35 mm Nikon achromat. This is a lens that is designed to bring two wavelength of light (generally red and blue) simultaneously into focus. Furthermore, this lens is not really intended to be used in a 3-CCD linescan camera. The 3-CCD linescan camera has additional prism elements in its optical path for separating the incoming light into three separate paths (red, green, blue), each directed to a separate CCD. The resulting image of the black line target is shown here.
The next lens to be tested was a 35 mm Kowa apochromat. This lens is designed to bring three wavelengths of light (red, green and blue, in this case) simultaneously into focus. This lens also is designed to work with the prism used in the 3-CCD camera. The results were considerably better.
The third lens to be tested was a 35 mm BlueVision superachromat, which is designed to bring four wavelengths of light (near IR, red, green and blue in this case) simultaneously into focus. This lens, also, was designed for use in conjunction with a wavelength-separating prism. The results for visible light, in the current application, were essentially the same as for the apochromatic Kowa device and are shown here.
Since the additional capability of imaging infrared was not needed in this case, the considerably higher cost of the superachromat was not justified.

On a recent camping trip to the New-Wes-Valley area, I visited the Lumsden United Church Cemetery and came across the headstone of William Tuff, son of William and Susanah Tuff, who died 9th of October 1847 aged 28 years. What caught my attention with this headstone was that it's made of cast iron. I have seen one other cast iron marker, at Bethany United in Carbonear, and a small sheet metal marker in St. James Cemetery, also in Carbonear.
In a 2012 ICH Newsletter article, Patrick Carroll wrote about the tin monuments in Bonavista Bay, which you can read about here. There are also a few interesting zinc (or white bronze) grave markers in St. John's. The hollow zinc markers have an distinctive blue-gray colour that is easily recognized once you know what to look for.
The zinc or White Bronze grave marker of Isabell and S.H. Parsons at the General Protestant Cemetery in St. John's |
Do you know of any others metal grave markers around the province? Do you have a relative whose grave is marked with one? Do you know anything about the makers of these headstones, particularly the cast iron ones?

Church of Timios Prodromos |
The geographical location, the political, cultural and intellectual tradition, the early national self-consciousness, as well as the rich ecclesiastical and other historical influences received from its foundation until the time of its heyday, shaped the ecclesiastical identity of Makrinitsa and its timeless unity with orthodox faith. Thus preserved undiluted its ecclesiastical self-consciousness, despite adverse historical conditions and recurring adventures, that marked the course of the local population during the eight centuries of its historical course.
Makrinitsa has a plenty of remarkable Churches, scattered throughout the traditional settlement and its region as a whole. All are decorated with folk stone relief, fine art hagiographies and lots of tributes.
Church of Assumption of the Virgin Mary |
This fact testifies both the material wealth of the settlement, as well as the close association of its inhabitants with the Church and the Orthodox Faith.
Each neighbourhood has its own Church, from which, as a rule, has taken its name: Panagia, Metamorphosis, Holy Trinity, etc.
As the visitor starts from the central Square, the first that faces to the northwest is the graceful church of Timios Prodromos, built in 1806. Elegant single-aisled basilica with a built arched outer narthex on its south and west side, with rich stone relief decoration and a multitude of representations and inscriptions, is unique elegant artwork of post-Byzantine architecture.
Church of Agioi Pantes |
The uphill cobbled road leads to the monastery complex of Panagia, which includes the "Despotiko", the unique in the entire Pelion, two-storey church of Agioi Pantes and Saint Nicholas, and the small church of Agioi Anargyroi, while the area is dominated by the famous bell tower, visible from every part of the settlement.
Church of Saint Nikolaos |
The church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, which is the central parish church of the village, was built in 1767. The earthquakes of 1955 destroyed a large part of it, which ten years later was restored with the financial contribution of the Greek-American Hadjikonstantinos Utskounis.
The sculptures that come from Demetrias are built-in with admirable unity. The Church has to offer some of the finest examples of Greek folk stone sculpture.
Church of Saint Ioannis Kakounas |
A little further north, in the square of Kakouna neighbourhood, the newly renovated Church of St. John the Theologian dominates, while at the village's highest point the Nunnery of Agios Gerasimos the Young.
Below the main square there are other churches, each with distinctive features.
The churches of Saint Athanasios and Saint George have a rich stone-sculpture decoration and are connected by a cobbled path and a double line of cypress - work by folk planner Philip Tsikrikitsis, who designed many bridges, squares and cobbled streets in Makrinitsa.
The Church of the Holy Trinity is known for the drawings and hagiographies of folk painter Giannis Pagonis, while the Church of Transfiguration, work by folk architect Dimos Zoupaniotis, is decorated with sculptures by sculptor Milios. Lesser known are the churches of Saint Nicolas and Saint Anthony to the side of Sarakinos.
Finally, one can also visit the Church of Saint Mary Magdalene in the neighbourhood of Koukourava, which during the great boom of tanning had experienced exceptional development. This precisely is imprinted on the rich tributes of the Church, many of which come from Odessa.
In Makrinitsa one meets masterpieces of ecclesiastical art of another era. These speak very eloquently for the great prosperity of the settlement and the firm commitment of its inhabitants to Orthodoxy. The multitude of the Holy Churches, along with the chapels and the monasteries, verify once again, for this pretty settlement as well, the description of Pelion as "Mount Athos of Thessaly".
Church of Holy Trinity |
Church of Metamorphosis of the Savior |
Church of Saint Maria Magdalini |

I was fortunate enough to be given a copy of my grandfather's diary for his time as a POW in the First World War. Grandfather Kennedy attested in Canada and served with the PPCLI (Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry). He was wounded at Ypres, after which he attended Officers' School in the UK and re-attested with the Royal Irish Rifles (the family was still in Belfast). J. A. C. Kennedy as a Guest of the Kaiser Name and first name(s): KENNEDY Josias Alexander Chancellor Date of birth: 03.03.1896 Place of birth: Belfast Rank: 2. Lieutenant Unit: 12.

Hi Richard, My great uncle Frank Vans Agnew was in Karlsruhe for a few months in early 1917; I have a few photos from then, if you are interested. (there's no mention of your grandfather in the diary, I'm afraid). Regards, Jamie. VETERAN VOLUNTEER Memoir of the Trenches, Tanks and Captivity 1914 – 1919 by Frank Vans Agnew (Ed. Jamie Vans) is to be published in about April 2014 by Pen & Sword Books.
Thanks for the notice about the book - are you the editor? I will watch for a notice - maybe we can pre-purchase? I noticed that the link to my grandfathers war diary is not correct - probably from when I started rebuilding the Laughton site.

Hi Richard, Wow, you've done loads of work! And yes, I'll let you know when I have a definite publication date. If you're logged in there is a little 'Edit' link at the bottom of your post, isn't there? Jamie.
Hi Richard, Veteran Volunteer is now available from Pen and Sword at pre-publication price of £15.99, see http://www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Veteran-Volunteer/p/6107/ and from Amazon (UK) as well. Do buy it! And enjoy it! Jamie.

In 1999 the red star Talos appeared in the sky the week after the horror of the Time of Nightmares ended. Scholars and talking heads appeared around the world to discuss how such a thing was the herald of cataclysm, with ancient peoples believing that it portrayed a coming cataclysm. Some even say that it burnished the sky a blood red the day Mount Vesuvius buried Pompeii. A Grand Convocation was call pulling 100 mages and their 900 custodes to hide inside the Horizon Realm of Unity. Over the years they built a life in the once sparse Horizon realm. Their population grew, the node was opened, and slowly it became a new world; their world. Just as everyone has started to settle in well, families were thriving and growing, a family of strangers appeared. Earth was till there, though they were told in some ways it was a shadow of the Earth they left. While the migration to the Horizon realm was kept very quiet, the Earth still felt the repercussions. Reality, unable to sink its claws into the departing mages, instead found others to pay the price, and hardened against the remaining mages on Earth. This led to the destruction of various government centers and building. The technocracy are but a shadow of their former numbers, and in their desperation to rebuild, have put more restraints on humanity. The Traditions have taken to hiding in various sanctuary cities; Freistatt, Minnesota being one of them. Humanity continues on, as it always has, ignorant to the supernatural world and how it moves and shapes them. Ascension Sojourns in a Mage 20th Anniversary game accepting beta testers ahead of a soft opening this fall, and grand opening this winter.

Mack: Geithner oversight lack illustrates need for smaller government
WASHINGTON – Congressman Connie Mack (FL-14) said today that Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner’s testimony on Capitol Hill – coupled with his recent actions and initiatives along with others in the Obama Administration – are not only reinforcing America’s lack of confidence in Secretary Geithner, but are sparking a true national debate over the size and scope of the federal government.
“The firestorm that has engulfed Secretary Geithner over the past two weeks is an appropriate discussion for Americans to have,” said Mack, who was the first Member of Congress to call for Geithner to resign. “The American people want leadership. They want to feel confident. Today on Capitol Hill, Secretary Geithner failed to deliver either.
“But just as importantly, the cumulative and ongoing actions and initiatives by Secretary Geithner and others in the Obama Administration raise serious and fundamental questions about the role of government in our lives.
“Many of the challenges we face today are a direct result of the ill-conceived economic recovery plans of the Bush Administration that began a massive expansion of government and an unprecedented erosion of freedom and free markets.
“Many of us opposed Washington’s bailouts and TARPs and other similar programs from the start.
“We have already seen how these policies are tearing apart America’s time-tested ideals and values. But instead of holding the line on, or even reversing these policies, the Obama Administration is expanding them at an alarming rate.
“From the problems Washington created with AIG and the House’s passage of a ‘Punishment Tax’ that is fit only for kings and tyrants, to the Administration’s proposed $3.6 trillion budget and planned expansions of government into new facets of the economy, our lives and our homes, America’s freedoms are being taken away from us at every turn.
“America can ill-afford to embrace this liberal economic and social agenda. We must not abandon the time-tested ideals that made our nation great. We deserve better than leaders who turn a blind eye to all the lessons of history and who are instead the modern architects of a policy of accommodation.”

40 years later, war hero gets his due
It was November 17, 1965, when then-Staff Sergeant Keith Maynard volunteered to jump on a helicopter to deliver medical supplies to besieged troops at the Landing Zone Albany in Vietnam.
Maynard, a helicopter maintenance sergeant, flew as chief gunner into the embattled area to evacuate the wounded, all while under enemy fire from the North Vietnamese. While his aircraft landed in the dark with only a flashlight to guide the way, he provided suppressive machine gun fire. Surrounded by North Vietnamese regular army troops and under heavy fire, Maynard left the helicopter to rescue wounded soldiers on the battlefield. After pulling the wounded soldiers aboard the helicopter and delivering them to safety, Maynard rejoined his crew and returned to the battlefield once again to evacuate more of the wounded.
Now, more than 40 years later, Maynard will finally get his due when he is awarded with the prestigious Silver Star for gallantry in action in connection with military operations against a hostile force. On Friday at 11:30 a.m. in Fort Myers, U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson will bestow Maynard with the nation’s third highest military honor designated solely for heroism in combat.
For Maynard’s part, he says he is receiving this award on behalf of his platoon.
“Mr. Maynard may not consider himself a hero, but he saved others when his own life was in dire jeopardy. In my book, that is the greatest kind of heroism,” said Nelson.

from Spirituality & Health Magazine
Reviewer: John Malkin
2014 November / December
Soulful music has probably always blossomed from an array of musical styles and sounds across planet Earth, carrying within it a diversity of mystical teachings. Incantations, the debut solo album from Sheela Bringi, brings together two rich musical and spiritual traditions of Black American Jazz/Blues and devotional Vedic chanting from India—and the result is dynamic and intoxicating.
Bringi is an Indian-American vocalist and multi-instrumentalist who combines Indian musicality with jazz sensibilities for a new sound where harmoniums, horn sections, harp, and Bansuri flute all share a home together. The album was produced and recorded by longtime friend and musical collaborator Clinton Patterson. The two met at California Institute of the Arts and recorded and toured their groundbreaking Indian-Jazz fusion sound with the band PremaSoul. The highest moments of Incantations are a result of the Bringi-Patterson connection, as heard in their combined vocals on “Peacock,” which also features smooth trumpet textures from Patterson, who was influenced by experimental Jazz trumpet player Jon Hassell.

We will probably not be covering hypertext in class at the next meeting on Monday but will continue with space and time in art issues. This past week we had some dynamite spatial analysis of Watchmen from Kluba and Timmons, examinations which are well worth staying on task in terms of our time limits.
In terms of hypertext, space and time, links and sources and destinations and their structures, it’s important to consider how all this plays into the hands of Watchman and its sequential superstructures, which cross the borders of text, graphics, and visual composition. There are associations between how we read Watchman and how we read writing on the screen. To refer back to Ted Nelson: it’s filmic/cinematic.
I’m pretty that our students who are working with Powerpoint have noticed the film editing features. I think this goes to the nature of digital space in general.

Montessori Inspired Dressing Boards are a wonderful way to teach toddlers and preschoolers how to work those buttons, snaps & zippers so they can learn to dress themselves! But store-bought versions can be expensive. With a couple of items you may already have you can make your own set for the home or classroom!
This post contains affiliate links.
How to Make Montessori Inspired Dressing Boards
These super easy DIY Montessori inspired dressing boards are a wonderful activity to include in a clothing or getting dressed tot school or preschool theme. It’s a great fine motor skills activity and a wonderful practical life activity for toddlers and preschoolers!
- sewing hoops (my plastic sewing hoops were bought at a craft store, but wooden hoops will work just as well and look beautiful too!)
- old or not-in-use clothes (baby or toddler clothes would work best)
Super Simple Instructions:
My dressing boards seriously couldn’t be any easier to put together! All you have to do is separate the two hoops (each hoop comes with two rings, one inner and one outer) place your article of clothing on the inner hoop with your buttons (or snaps or zippers) centered. Then place the outer hoop on top and tighten with the screws! Easy!
If you want to make the dressing boards more permanent you can cut the excess cloth around the hoop with pinking shears so the material doesn’t fray. You can also hem the edges for a really durable and completed finish. But I left my clothing whole so I can use them down the road.

I had a wonderful folding double buggy. Sam
at four had little energy due to his heart trouble, so he still had to use it
unless we were prepared to stroll very slowly. The pavements were not as
wide as shown, I had to choose my route to school and church carefully or I
couldn't get through. On one part of the road we lived in I had to cross
over because the lamp posts were too close to the garden walls. I used to
get Sam out of the buggy and partially fold his side to get through the
bollards at the end of the lane near the school. It didn't fit in the
lifts in John Lewis either!
When children ask questions like this I think it is ok if your mind goes blank.
Mine always did anyway. Babies crying have the same effect on my intellect, so both at once is bound to do it.
Church was nice and close. Sam was very
friendly with the vicar's son Robert. They used to chase each other round
the pews after the service. Robert used to let Sam win by taking short
cuts. He was a kind child. Just before Sam had his second
operation, the vicar came to bless him and left the communion bread unattended
for a moment. Sam and Robert scoffed the lot! Blessed inside and
It was surreal having a blessing for Sam at home.
Everything was surreal at that time. We didn't know much about how
risky his condition was and just accepted things as they were. Looking
back that was probably just as well, but after his operation we went into shock
for at least 2 years.
We took Sam for walks and outings but he was easily
tired. He could whine for England but we tried not to give in more than
was good for him. It is so hard as a parent to always do the right thing
instead of the easy thing.
Luckily we lived close to some fantastic parks and
gardens. This one is Richmond park which is the largest royal park in
London and dates from the 1600s when Charles 1 created it as a deer park.
The deer are still there and being a Narnia fan, Sam looked out for a
white stag to wish on every time we went.
We often went to Kew Gardens as well especially if
it was cold because the glass houses were lovely - they always smelled of
summer and exotic flowers. They had orchid shows there which took your
breath away. Still do in fact.
Richmond Park also had a good cafe at Pembroke
Lodge so we could recover over a cup of tea and gaze out over the terrace at
the beautiful view from Richmond Hill. It is still one of my favourite
places to have tea.

APIs, or application programming interfaces, are the gateways to the digital world. They link a wide array of software applications and systems. APIs facilitate communication between different software systems, and so power everything from social media – think of the share buttons on webpages – to e-commerce transactions.
At a simple level, APIs are like electrical sockets. A software application that you’re using, say the playback controls for a video on a webpage, is like an appliance. The system that provides data or services that the application needs, say YouTube, is like the electrical grid. The API, in this example the YouTube Player API, is like the standard electrical outlet that lets any appliance plug in to the grid.
APIs are not really so simple, though. Another analogy is a restaurant. The customer is the software application, the chef is the data or service, and the waiter is the API. The waiter brings the customer the menu, which lists available dishes – i.e., options for accessing data or service – and then brings the customer’s request to the chef.
APIs rely on defined rules and protocols that ensure accurate data exchange and effective collaboration. There are APIs for specific uses and software developer preferences.
APIs power various applications and services across many diverse industries. Facebook, Instagram and Twitter, now rebranded as X, let users share their content across these social media platforms. By leveraging their social media credentials, users can log into websites, weather apps and games to simplify their online experiences. Amazon and PayPal depend on APIs for secure payment processing and efficient order fulfillment. Navigation services like Google Maps leverage APIs to provide real-time location data and accurate directions. Even voice-activated smart assistants like Amazon’s Alexa and Google Assistant use APIs to manage and control smart home devices.
Who has access to an API also matters. For example, in March 2023, X began charging a wider range of users for access to its data API, which lets users collect large numbers of tweets to see what people are tweeting about. Businesses use the API for market and competitive research. But many people with limited resources, like developers of some free apps and social science researchers, also rely on it.
APIs are also playing a role in making artificial intelligence widely available. For example, Google, Microsoft and OpenAI provide APIs for software developers to incorporate AI in their products.
As APIs continue to shape the digital landscape, developers face challenges. Ensuring the security and privacy of data exchanged through APIs is paramount, given their integration into critical systems. As APIs evolve, managing their complex ecosystems and making sure old programs can use new APIs will be a considerable task.

ONE takes you on a personal journey from escaping the politics of Iran, to making a home in France, shifting yet again to first English Canada then French Canada, and ultimately reconnecting with, and this time fully understanding, one’s homeland once again.
Wherever he goes, no matter how long he stays or how many languages he masters, he is always from somewhere else: an outsider, an immigrant.
Soleymanlou humanizes the reality of what it is like to be forever trapped in the stereotype of the immigrant. He blends universal content, references well renowned events, and puts a personal spin on this difficult experience, infusing it with humour resulting in an intimacy that catches you unawares.
Soleymanlou juxtaposes his personal life history and what shaped his childhood, with the history of youth living in Iran today and what it means to truly be Iranian.
His journey is one most Canadians can relate to on some level. ONE not only examines identity, but for Canada, a nation of immigrants, acceptance.
What makes us who we are? How do we define our nationality? How do we define ourselves? With ONE, the personal becomes the universal. How do we embrace those who came before us, and those who will follow us as our nations grow?

Ice fishing may be considered an off-season sport for many places, but in Alaska ice fishing is favored. Although Alaska’s winter daylight hours are shorter than in the summer, the conditions are still ideal.
Some might say that sitting in an ice box on a frozen body of water doesn’t seem like fun, but that is absolutely not true! Ice fishing is 100% thrilling, encompassing an exciting adventure with the art of fishing.
Winters in Alaska are exceptionally beautiful and one can truly take in the glorious sights around them on any given ice fishing trip. Because ice fishing requires you to be located on a wide open space, from any viewable spot you’ll witness stunning snow-capped mountain peaks, lush natural forestry and even an abundance of wildlife.
While there is a certain skill needed to master ice fishing, our experienced guides are with you the entire time to assist in the process. Ice fishing can be a challenge both from the technique aspect to luring nearby fish. We teach our guests the old native technique of ice fishing while being huddled in a warm and cozy hut. The environment is tranquil and peaceful, which gives you the opportunity to really focus on and enjoy the task at hand.
There are a variety of fish you can catch while ice fishing. Some of the most popular species include Salmon, Rainbow Trout, Lake Trout, and Northern Pike. What’s even more special about choosing us for your Alaska ice fishing experience is that we cook and feast on the fresh catch.
Worried about not bringing the right gear? Have no fear because we supply all of what you will need. Included in our tour price are hotel transfer accommodations, arctic gear, fishing license, tackle, hot beverages and a delicious meal.
For additional information on our winter program ice fishing tours, be sure to view our website or give us a call. We delight in the opportunity to share the passion of Alaska ice fishing with you.

The rapid rise in online casinos and sportsbooks has led to 80 million new players entering the digital gambling world in just the past four years. As the industry continues to expand, it’s vital that players understand how to gamble responsibly, recognize the warning signs of problem gambling, and access the support they need.
At 247casinos.bet, our commitment is to ensure that all users have a safe and enjoyable experience. Below, we provide resources and strategies to help you engage in responsible gambling online.
Why is Responsible Gambling Important?
Responsible gambling is a framework designed to allow individuals to enjoy online gambling without adverse effects on their life or health. Online platforms are mandated by gambling authorities to offer responsible gambling tools, such as spending limits, self-exclusion options, and welfare checks.
Responsible gambling means maintaining control over your betting activities. You should feel relaxed when placing a bet, accept it as a fun hobby, and acknowledge that you can stop whenever you choose.
How Can You Recognize Problem Gambling?
It’s not uncommon for individuals to rationalize or overlook harmful gambling behaviors. Be alert to these signs of problem gambling:
- Chasing Losses: Attempting to recover losses by betting more can lead to further financial strain.
- Obsessing Over Winnings: Focusing solely on potential wins may lead to risky and excessive bets.
- Financial Strain: Cutting back on essentials due to gambling losses is a red flag.
- Guilt and Anxiety: Feelings of guilt and depression about gambling indicate deeper issues.
- Anger and Stress: Gambling should be enjoyable, not a source of stress.
Identifying these warning signs early is crucial to prevent the escalation into serious addiction. If gambling begins to negatively impact your life, it’s wise to conduct a self-assessment.
How to Gamble Responsibly?
Most players can enjoy gambling safely by following these practices:
- Treat Gambling as a Hobby: Set realistic expectations from the start. View gambling as a leisure activity—not a source of income.
- Set a Budget: Decide beforehand how much you can afford to lose weekly or monthly, with no impact on your finances.
- Establish Deposit Limits: Implement limits at sportsbooks to prevent overspending.
- Communicate with Friends and Family: Share your gambling habits with loved ones who can offer support and advice.
- Avoid Gambling Under the Influence: Refrain from betting when impaired by substances that affect decision-making.
- Diversify Your Activities: Pursue other hobbies to balance gambling in your life.
- Implement Time Limits: Set daily limits to keep your gambling in check.
These strategies are effective for many; however, if you experience serious gambling issues, seek professional assistance immediately.
What If You Have a Gambling Problem?
If you think you might have a gambling problem, you’re likely correct. Consider self-excluding from betting accounts and consulting a mental health professional for a thorough evaluation and treatment.
Where Can You Find Support for Gambling Addiction?
There are numerous free, 24/7 support services available for gambling addiction:

Dir: Sam Raimi
After three Spider-Man movies in quick succession I began to get the impression, supported by the listless, lifeless, Spider-Man 3, that Sam Raimi was tired and bored, if not of movies altogether then certainly of Spider-Man movies, he clearly needed a break. This is that break, and its done Raimi the power of good.
Drag Me To Hell sees bank loan officer Christine (Alison Lohman) refuse an old woman (Lorna Raver) and extension on her mortgage, largely because she thinks it will help her get a promotion. Later the old woman attacks Christine, and puts the curse of the Lamia on her. For three days Christine will have visions, and on the fourth day the Lamia will come and take her to hell, unless Christine, her boyfriend (Justin Long) and a dimestore psychic (Dileep Rao) can do something about the curse.
This is a horror movie as a rollercoaster, it may not be groundbreaking or especially sophisticated, and its twists and turns may be familiar and even predictable, but once you strap yourself in you are off on a 99 minute thrill ride that will make you scream, jump and laugh in all the right places. The result is, perhaps, Raimi’s most purely fun and enjoyable film since The Evil Dead.
I’ve already had a bit of an argument about Drag Me To Hell, with someone who criticised the acting. First off Alison Lohman makes, as ever, for an appealing lead, making Christine real enough that there’s a character there to identify with and root for, and she throws herself gamely into Raimi’s often icky scare sequences. Justin Long doesn’t have quite enough to do, butt he’s possessed of a down to earth charm that works well enough for the film’s purposes. That’s the thing though, the film isn’t really about performance this isn’t an intense psychological study like Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer, or even a character driven thriller like Raimi's own A Simple Plan, it’s a rollercoaster called Drag Me To Hell and deep analytical character work would be as out of place in it as kung fu would in a Mike Leigh film. All the performances are broad, but they all fit the tone of the film perfectly.
There are different types of horror films, each of which places its emphasis on different types of scares, and there are a lot of ‘boo’ scares in Drag Me To Hell. I’ve been growing tired of boo movies of late because, be they critically lauded efforts like The Orphanage or lambasted pieces of detritus like The Haunting In Connecticut, they all share one essential problem - I can count the scares in. This, however, is not true of Drag Me To Hell. There are, of course, many sequences in which you know something is going to jump out and scare you, and yet Raimi always, even until the end of the film, manages to spring them just as you don’t expect them - a beat early, a beat late - it’s a very subtle difference, but one that both makes the film and demonstrates Raimi’s mastery of the genre. He clearly understands just exactly how to time his cuts to get the biggest jump out of his audience, me, for once, included. Drag Me To Hell isn’t exactly scary, at least not in the psychologically terrorising way that something like Martyrs is, but it’s the most effective horror film of its kind in an age.
This is very much the Sam Raimi show, the film is shot through with his sensibility, combining those expertly choreographed jumps with moments that provoke longer and louder laughter than most comedies I’ve seen in recent times (“Here kitty kitty”). This mix of tones can be jarring, or mean that the horror undercuts the comedy and vice versa (I’m looking at you, Lesbian Vampire Killers), but Raimi segues so deftly from one to the other, often combining the laugh and the scare, that it feels completely natural. Visually Raimi is firing on all cylinders, his trademark dynamic camerawork and the detail he puts into it (the subtle little CG flies in almost every scene) making this an exciting and involving film to watch. The basics may be well worn, but Drag Me To Hell is a fast, fun, fresh take on them, and watching Sam Raimi reinvigorate himself as a filmmaker is one of the most enjoyable experiences I’ve had in a cinema this year.

If you have never tried to earn money online before, you are in for the ride of your life. This article can give you a little advice on how to proceed in the right direction. It will put you on the right path so that you can begin to make money online.
Look out for online scams. Not every opportunity will be a good one. To prevent missteps, research any company you plan to do business with, beforehand.
If you can write well, it would be a great idea for you to join a site like InfoBarrel or Squidoo, which are both revenue sharing sites. These sites will allow you to write about whatever you want and you will get a cut of incoming revenue. These sites will also offer you additional opportunities with Amazon’s affiliate program.
Take a look at survey work. There are tons of surveys available to do and some of them pay decent money if you are the right demographic. They’re fun and easy. Depending on the site offering the survey, they may not pay much. But the great thing about them is that you can do them while watching TV or during other free time. Put the money in savings and you will see it grow over time.
Use your spare time wisely. Many online sources of income can be done without a lot of focus. You can find a lot of them on Mturk.com. You can work on these tasks as you watch some TV. Though you will not become rich, you can make some extra money in your free time.
Never spend money to make money. If a business is on the up and up, they won’t be asking for money up front. They will most likely take your cash and leave you with nothing. Make sure to steer clear of such enterprises.
Try using your writing skill in order to make e-books that you could sell online. If you know a good amount about a particular subject, then you can educate the world and earn a few bucks doing it. If you don’t know where to start with an E-book, consider recipes.
Be careful not to get sucked into online income scams. Research any site before you do business with them in any way. The BBB is great for checking out a company’s reputation.
Ask others if you can advertise for them. Putting ads on your website is a great way to make money online. If you have a widely trafficked blog, you may be able to attract lots of advertisers. The ad will send your visitors to a site that offers services or goods.
You can go into affiliate marketing if you want to make money online. Your site needs to have a fairly large audience first. Make your site about a topic you enjoy. Then locate a website with an affiliate payout program and apply to be a part of it. Every time someone purchases from your ads, you make a cut of the purchase.
If you lack direction, it can be hard to make money via the Internet. Your best bet is to follow the advice of people who, like you, see the promise of online work. These tips enable you to earn extra cash in a perfectly legit, lucrative way.

ATLANTA, GA -- A judge ruled Friday against Bobbi Kristina Brown's partner, Nick Gordon, in a wrongful death lawsuit filed by her estate, though the decision doesn't answer any of the questions surrounding her mysterious death.
Brown, the daughter of singers Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown, was found face-down and unresponsive in a bathtub in her suburban Atlanta townhome in January 2015. She died in hospice care about six months later.
Investigators with the medical examiner's office were not able to determine exactly how she died. An autopsy showed that she had morphine, cocaine, alcohol and prescription drugs in her body, but the medical examiner couldn't determine if she killed herself, if someone else killed her or if her death was accidental.
Her family blamed Gordon, accusing him in the lawsuit of giving her a "toxic cocktail" before putting her face-down in the water. But he has never been charged in the case. Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard said in an emailed statement that his office continues to investigate the case.
Gordon repeatedly failed to meet court deadlines in the civil case, Fulton County Superior Court Judge T. Jackson Bedford said in his order. A jury trial will be set to determine how much Gordon must pay in damages; if he cannot pay, he could face a lien on property he owns or have his wages garnished.
No lawyer was listed for Gordon in online court records. Two attorneys representing him against any criminal allegations that may be filed said they were not involved in the civil case.
Bobby Brown, who had joined the wrongful death suit filed by his daughter's estate, said in a statement released by his attorney that he is pleased with the judge's ruling.
"All I ever wanted was answers relating to who and what caused my daughter's death. Today's judgment tells me it was Nick Gordon," Brown said in the statement.
However, the ruling does not mean the judge made any determination about Bobbi Kristina Brown's death based on the facts of the case, said Page Pate, an Atlanta criminal defense attorney not involved in the case.
"There's been no finding of liability, no finding that he killed her or had any involvement in the killing," Pate said. "It's simply a sanction imposed by the court because he failed to participate in the litigation in any meaningful way."
People who face the possibility of criminal charges can find it tough to defend themselves in a civil case because, if they assert their right not to incriminate themselves, it can be interpreted as an admission of liability, Pate said. They may also not want to spend the money on a lawyer in a civil case where there's no right to a court-appointed defense attorney.
"If you don't have the money to begin with, then many defendants say, 'Why would I pay a lawyer to represent me in this case? Sure, let them get a hundred million dollars against me. Good luck finding a hundred million dollars,'" Pate said.
David Ware, an attorney for Brown estate conservator Bedelia Hargrove, said his client is satisfied with the judge's ruling and will aggressively pursue whatever damages are awarded.
The lawsuit seeks $50 million in compensatory damages, as well as punitive damages, and the return of Bobbi Kristina Brown's property, including a valuable ring, Ware said.
"You can't ignore the court process, especially when you are accused of having engaged in this sort of horrific conduct," Ware said in a phone interview, "You have to give account, and Mr. Gordon decided to thumb his nose at the court process and the court has finally said that he must pay."

BARRATT & David Wilson Homes North Scotland has announced plans to bring 194 new homes – including 48 affordable properties – to Potterton on the northern edge of Aberdeen.

Representing a proposed investment in the region of £50 million, construction at the development is set to support in the region of 291 direct jobs, providing in the region of £329,000 additional Council Tax revenue, while also boosting housing provision in the area, in line with the requirements of the adopted Aberdeenshire Local Development Plan.
The proposed Potterton development features a combination of one to five bedroomed homes, all thoughtfully designed in an attractive location and ideal for first-time buyers, families and downsizers, with easy connections to the AWPR and the wider area.
The development has been designed to give residents access to nature, with native planting species for biodiversity, access to foraging routes and open space, and footpath links to the surrounding village.
David Palmer, Managing Director at Barratt Homes North Scotland, said:“We are thrilled to have submitted our comprehensive proposals for new homes in Potterton. These proposals follow the approval by Aberdeenshire Council of our Masterplan framework for the land to the north-east of Potterton in June last year.
“Through close collaboration with the community, partners, our ecologists and the Barratt design teams, we’ve created a plan for an attractive and thoughtful development where residents can be proud to call home.
“The proposed new development will offer homes to residents in an area where we know there’s huge demand for new homes and will also indirectly support 532 jobs in the local community.
“Potterton lies just a few miles from our main office, and we have a lot of links with the village. We are excited about this opportunity to be involved in the sustainable growth of the community and to provide new high quality energy-efficient homes.”

The power sector remains an industry that is recovering at the latest due to the pandemic. Until the first half of 2020, domestic electricity sales have not yet recovered, which is burdening electric companies entering survival mode. Continued support from the government is being observed through electricity bill relief that is extended to the end of this year as well as recovery plans to enforce the continuity of the country’s energy master plan towards energy transition and security.
Knowing the pandemic has yet to end, most of the AMS agreed to extend power bills discount until the end of 2020. In the first half, it observed that domestic electricity demand remains dropped, causing financial issues in big power companies, both producers and distributors. In the power distributor, the problem is more obvious due to electricity sales declined. However, in power producers, the issues may be varied, including the side effect from losses or profit fell seen in the power distributor. Therefore, the stimulus recovery plan from the government should address hardships faced by power companies as well as build a more strategic pathway towards energy transition and resilience.
In our Q2 energy insight, we observed the struggle faced by power companies due to the halted projects, the soaring electricity demand, and a proper recovery incentives plan prepared by the government. However, since the pandemic still surrounding us, the issues in the electricity sector seemingly similar in this Q3.

Canister Versus Stick Vacuums
Canister Vacuum Cleaner
A canister vacuum, as its name suggests, includes a canister that houses the engine as well as an attachment that you use to clean floors and other surfaces. This vacuum type is light, easy to carry, and usually has a retractable cord. To use it for cleaning, you just need to move the wand against the whole vacuum.
Canister vacuums are typically easy to carry and are light.
They are usually more powerful than stick vacuum cleaners and can clean a number of floor surfaces with strong suction
They can twist and bend easily, perfect for cleaning hard-to-reach areas
Most canister vacuums work fairly quietly, and run smoothly, suitable for late at night or early morning vacuuming.
This type of vacuum is normally low to the ground so you'd have to bend to pick them up or turn them on or off.
You would need to pull the canister component behind you while you clean it, which can be a challenge when you're cleaning cluttered surfaces with many obstacles.
Canister vacuums are larger and hard to store.
Stick Vacuum Cleaner
A lighter version of an upright vacuum, a stick vacuum is smaller in size, and simpler to use with a number of attachments. Since the suction head and the motor are in the same unit, you just need to push it in front of you when cleaning. Several models are cordless and can run on rechargeable batteries.
Most of the latest stick vacuums are incredibly lightweight and small, making them easy to push along with relatively little effort when cleaning.
Using a stick vacuum is quite simple. To clean, you just need to put it on the floor, press and hold a button down and push it in front of you.
Although stick vacuums are appropriate for all kinds of floors, they are especially good for removing dirt and dust from carpets
Their wide-body structure allows stick vacuums to be suitable for cleaning vast spaces, such as huge dining rooms and open-plan basement floors.
Stick vacuums are usually less noisy than bigger uprights.
Some stick vacuums are cordless and powered by a battery, which allows them to pass freely and without cords along the floors and other surfaces.
Being comparatively small and upright, vacuums of type are easy to store
They're also easy to empty. Usually, you could just open the compartment and throw away the contents straight into the trash without needing any bags or complicated disposal methods.
Stick vacuums are good for fast clean-ups but not as powerful as canister vacuums.
For corded stick vacuums, vacuuming certain areas like stairs might be difficult as you have to handle both the cord and the lengthy stick design of the unit.
The vacuum's wide-body place is great for vacuuming huge and open spaces, but it won't get into the small crevices and crooks. However, this would be possible for some models with attachments.
The cordless models frequently operate only for a limited period of time per charge. When visitors come over, you can do a quick clean of the main floor, but you won't manage to vacuum a whole home of average size on one charge.
Now you know the advantages and disadvantages of using the canister and the stick vacuum cleaners. It is now up to you to select which type you think is the right vacuum cleaner for your home.

The food and beverage industry has very specific standards that plastics must adhere to. Thankfully there we have plastic materials that meet FDA regulations and are manufactured to withstand demanding environments and chemical wash-downs:
Also known as high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a tough, wear resistant plastic with a low coefficient of friction and outstanding impact strength. It’s non toxic, and doesn’t absorb moisture which is critical in baking and cooking environments. Delrin sheets meet FDA and USDA guidelines and are 3-A Dairy-approved (natural). They’re also made for use at temperatures ranging from -250oC to 82oC.
HDPE is especially good for commercial kitchen cutting boards because it is NSF Approved and will not absorb bacteria, splinter, chip, swell, peel, rot, bend, or crack. HDPE is engineered for durability, has a matte surface to hold food in place, and won’t dull your knives. We recommend white for a traditional natural colour, red for red meats, blue for fish, yellow for poultry, beige for breads, and green for vegetables.
If you’re looking to use plastics in your next food and beverage industry application, contact ACI Plastics team to discuss the possibilities.

The MIT-Greater China Strategy Working Group has released a report setting forth guidelines and recommendations for the future of MIT's relationship with mainland China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. The Working Group was chaired by Victor Zue, Professor of EECS and Director of CSAIL.
MIT has raised funding for a new chair in study of Chinese culture, as well as provided the Global Seed Fund in conjunction with MIT International Science and Technology Initiatives to send students abroad. "We want this all to be a collaborative effort and to interact with as many top universities as we can, as well as working with people outside of academia," says Associate Provost Philip S. Khoury.
MIT's relationship with China dates back to 1876, when the Chinese government sent students to MIT. The relationship has continued for over a century as students and professors have spent time learning and working in both countries.

To inspire and to find new ways to train young people in the textile sector, in sustainability and digitalisation. That’s the aim of nine European institutions, working together in the project TRANSITIONS. A project that several partners from ACTE are involved in.
The European textile and fashion industry is currently facing major structural and systemic challenges. This requires a profound change in business models. And in how we skill, reskill and upskill the people involved.
The new European regulatory framework foresees a more efficient management of textile waste. A change in operations that also force the development of circularity in the textile and fashion industry in Europe. As well as the acceleration of the digitalisation of all the processes of the sector. The project is co-funded by the EU, through the Erasmus+. Coordinator for the project is the Fundacia Privada Elisava Escola Universitaria, Elisava.
Between December 2022 and March 2023, Transitions conducted a survey on the needs and demands of skilling within the industry: Mapping the market, exploring needs and the demands of skill. You can download the report here (click).
TRANSITIONS is a strategic alliance for innovation formed by research and technological centres, VET, HE institutions, public policy actors, SMEs, and other sectoral organisations from Spain, Italy, The Netherlands, and Sweden. Transitions aim to nurture the textile and fashion transition to an Industry 4.0 system and a circular economy by developing new learning methods, tools, and practices to help students, young designers, and professionals to face real challenges.
Fashion and textiles (F&T) is a priority sector for the European transition towards sustainability. The F&T sectors face structural and systemic challenges that require a profound model change. Stakeholders will work together to design and develop new training methods to face the digital and green transformation. The objective is to create collaborative and real work-based training where the different actors in the value chain work on how to take advantage of technology to generate new value proposals and new business models within a circular economy. A circular economy aims to maintain the value of products, materials, and resources for as long as possible by reintroducing them into the product cycle at the end of their use, minimising waste generation.
Transition proposes a multidisciplinary pedagogical approach based on Transition design theories and emerging disciplines and practices at the intersection of textile, biology, digital fabrication.
Transitions is an ERASMUS Project, co-funded by The European Union. The aim is to nurture the textile and fashion transition into an Industry 4.0 system and a circular economy. The idea is to develop new learning methods, tools, and practices to help students, young designers, and professionals to face real challenges.

This is to inform the citizens of Addu that as we prepare for the reclamation works at Addu, the reclamation pipes (floating lines) are currently being assembled and arranged at Hithadhoo. The floating lines will be initially parked in the location marked in the photo below. These lines will be later on used for reclamation at different locations.
This post is to share with all the location of the reclamation lines planned for the Project. The purple lines on the photo indicate approximate location of the floating line for each reclamation footprint. It is important to note that, there will be no more than two floating lines in place at any time. The first lines will be installed the second half of May.
Citizens, specifically fishermen, dive clubs and other mariners are advised not to come near the floating lines for safety reasons.

Green Industrial Cities Make Africa ‘renewable energy superpower’
Nairobi, Kenya, Oslo, Norway 7th September 2023 – “Africa has the potential to become a world leader in renewables and green growth”. ‘Kenya’s President Ruto’s´ message to the 2023 African Climate Summit (ACS), echoed by African Union Heads of State and UN Secretary-General Guterres’, calling for the immediate creation of Institutional Investor-Public Partnerships (IIPPs) to invest at scale and establish leading green industries, adding value to Africa’s mineral wealth and capturing an outsized share of the $10trn per annum and growing global green industrial economy.
Africa Investor CEO and Chairman of the Just Transition Investor Alliance (JTIA), Dr. Hubert Danso, offers a practical approach to implementing the ACS´ ambitions and objectives: A blueprint for ´Green Industrial Cities´(GIC).
“These carefully selected and interconnected special purpose, place based impact investment destinations, predominantly located in places dependent on mining and highly carbon intensive industries, will constitute an investable ´Green Energy Corridor´”, Dr. Danso shares in a comment.
The Corridor for investments and solutions will open a gateway for customers seeking to procure finished green goods and technologies. The data driven approach to developing GICs proposed by Dr. Danso, leveraging catalytic technologies such as AI enabled Digital Twins and advanced simulation, promises to speed up planning and procurement processes by as much as 15%, and ultimately de-risk the underwriting of industrial scale investments.
The methodology, which is currently being applied in both Europe and Africa, is co-developed with United Cities and the United Cities Sustainability Centre in Norway on the back of a partnership with JTIA announced earlier this year at the New Financial Pact Summit in Paris.
“African cities can use our methods to leapfrog their green transition. We are delighted to have found an approach that speaks to the needs of cities, as well as institutional investors”, says United Cities Director General, Ms. Kari Aina Eik.
The emerging Green Industrial Cities Alliance and the Green Energy Corridor is a powerful implementation platform for the Africa-EU Earthshot (AEE) launched at the ACS, drawing on the JTIA’s Just Transition Procurement Champions Community (JTPCC) of Large African companies and Global Corporations from across commercial and industrial sectors, SME’s, non-profit organizations, Aid organizations, as well as other buying agencies. operating globally and across the continent.
While recruitment of the first cohort of Green Industrial Cities is well underway, so are preparations for the next phase of the investment platform, to be announced during COP28 in Dubai in December and set to further bolster the Partnership for Renewables in Africa (APRA), accelerating the continent’s just energy transition and cementing Africa as the defacto renewable energy industrial superpower.

Strong connection between depression and social support for Australian men
Brendan Quinn, Jennifer Prattley, Bosco Rowland
The report, which forms part of AIFS' longitudinal study, Ten to Men, found that over time, lower levels of social support were associated with greater depressive symptoms while greater depressive symptoms were associated with lower self-perceived social support.
Lead researcher, Dr Brendan Quinn, said that social support, under any circumstances, is important.
'Social support can improve resilience to stress, enhance your quality of life and help you work through challenging life events. When someone is experiencing depression, this can be of particular importance,' Dr Quinn said.
'Some people with depression might withdraw from their family, friends and other support networks, which could possibly worsen the severity of their depressive symptoms. Conversely, when levels of social support were higher, depression tended to be lower in severity,' Dr Quinn said.
According to the report, 72% of men had 'someone to count on to listen when needing to talk' most or all of the time. Less available was 'having someone to share private worries and fears with', with only 61% of men saying this was available to them most or all of the time.
'For a variety of reasons, many men have smaller social networks than women. Having someone who you can trust to share your thoughts and feelings with can be incredibly important to improve and maintain quality of life and mental wellbeing,' Dr Quinn said.
The report found that certain sub-groups of males were more likely to experience depression, or low social support, or both.. For example, older males, men from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds and those living in more socioeconomically disadvantaged areas were more likely to experience lower self-perceived social support. Being unemployed or out of the labour force and lower levels of education were also associated with experiencing more severe depressive symptoms.
'There are certain socio-demographics that are susceptible to more severe depressive symptoms, lower levels of social support or both. While many men would benefit from interventions to create greater social connectedness, it's important that we pay particular attention to these groups to work to improve mental wellbeing,' Dr Quinn said.
Access the full report at: Social connectedness among Australian males.
Ten to Men is a national research initiative aimed at filling the gaps in knowledge about why males on average have poorer health outcomes than females, and why certain groups of males have poorer health than males in general. The knowledge gained in the study will be used to improve programs and policies for male health in Australia.
The study is longitudinal – meaning that we will return to participants every few years for an update so that we can understand how changing life stages and circumstances might affect health and wellbeing over time.

In an NPR video series on Billy Collins, the poet laureate was asked how young poets could get started writing poetry. Billy Collins responded, “it’s such dull advice, there’s really no key to it, you just have to read, read poetry for 10,000 hours.”
Immersing young writers in models of fine writing was an idea echoed during a 2017 NCTE conference session on literary magazines. This session was a wonderful brain trust for individuals new to sponsoring a school’s literary magazine. In addition to bringing back copies of other schools’ literary magazines, I brought back the advice repeatedly heard: provide student writers with models of good writing and read, read, read.
In an earlier AISL blog, “Inspire Writing with Memorials,” I mentioned that our library and student LitMag editors are sponsoring a writing contest. Our LitMag editors were challenged to make promotional posters that not only advertised the contest, but also featured a poem example reflecting the contest theme of memorials or collections. As our LitMag editors searched for models of well-crafted poems, the library poetry book shelves became a cornucopia of inspirational ideas.
Below are two examples of poetry books that sparked imaginations, along with students’ poem reflections and poster design decisions.
Bravo! by Margarita Engle.
Margarita Engle, named in 2017 as the Young People’s Poet Laureate, celebrates the lives of Hispanic people from all walks of life in this collection of poems.
LitMag editor, Sebastian, chose the poem “Life on Horseback”and explained, “this poem is a memorial to a Mexican-American cowboy named Arnold Rojas (1898-1988). Due to lack of job opportunities for immigrants, he worked as a farmworker. He leaves that job for a more exciting life as a cowboy. This poem emphasizes that you must take pride in your work and if you don’t, you should search for a more meaningful job.”
Design principle for poster: Symmetry.
Silhouetted horse heads face each other on the poster and displayed below are flags of Mexico and the United States of America, indicating the duel heritage of cowboy Arnold Rojas.
Maya Angelou (Poetry for Young People).
This collection of poems by Maya Angelou display her emotional connection with struggles
and triumphs of African Americans, including the struggle from oppression to attaining
lives of dignity.
LitMag Editor, Alex, chose the poem “One More Round” and observed, “this poem shows a man who loves to work and believes his work is much more than slavery: ‘I was born to work but I ain’t no mule.’”
Design Principle for poster: Repetition.
An intricate assembly line shows miniature factory workers heaving, hoisting, and loading large flour bags onto automated belts. These bags of flour are being processed so another man, drawn above the assembly line, can enjoy a bowl of cereal. Alex reflected that his drawing shows “a man that’s just eating a bowl of cereal and is treating it like any other. Look further down on the poster and you can see the work that goes into making this bowl of cereal is worth a whole lot more than it looks.”
This process of selecting poems to model well-crafted writing was a creative stretch for our LitMag editors: an opportunity both for design thinking and personal reflection on how poems communicate to an audience. The finished posters are now displayed throughout the school, inspiring our young writers through reading poems by established poets.
For further exploration of how writers rely on models of good writing, see these books that celebrate famous poets:
Out of Wonder: Poems Celebrating Poets
by Kwame Alexander, Chris Colderley, and Margery Wentworth
Kwame and co-authors pay tribute to famous poets by imitating the poetic style or enkindling the emotional connection of these poets.
Boshblobberbosh: Runcible Poems for Edward Lear
by J. Patrick Lewis
Lewis, the 2011 Children’s Poet Laureate, writes poems in the style of Edward Lear to honor Lear’s whimsical language and playful use of the sounds of words.

Aldesa took part in marathon relay race Ekiden 2018
On this Saturday, May 12, our team ALDESpeed ran in the marathon relay race Ekiden 2018, which took place in Park Szczęśliwicki in Warsaw. There were many companies which took part in the event. What is also worth adding is the idea of the run, according to which each organizations assigned two teams what makes the emotions more intense and increases the competition. The weather was even too nice and sun a bit too strong but ALDESpeed in an excellent way took 155 and 210 place for 752 starting teams. Last of all we took a souvenir photo together.

Then Jesus said, ‘Did I not tell you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?’
– As we travel the journey of life our faith is often tested.
– We pass through situations that can feel so unwanted and even unnecessary.
– Sometimes all we can do is simply hold onto God and His Word.
– His promise is that if we believe we will see the glory of God.
Prayer: Lord, thank You that I can hold onto You and to Your promises regardless of the storms that come my way. You are the One Who works all things out for my good and I believe that I will see Your glory in my life. Amen.

Our client, an existing client of Bank A for over two decades, approached the bank seeking financial assistance to acquire a pharmacy premises that unexpectedly became available in a single-pharmacy suburb.
Allfin, known for its agility, assessed the transaction within 24 hours. Recognising the low Loan-to-Value Ratio (LVR) of the pharmacy, we anticipated an easy approval from the incumbent Bank A. Within the same timeframe, we promptly lodged the application with Bank A.
Despite the 20-year relationship and a seemingly straightforward application, Bank A did not support the pharmacy owner’s acquisition of their premises, despite it being cashflow neutral. Efforts to escalate the application within Bank A’s senior management proved futile.
Determined to find a solution, we tendered the client’s banking needs to three other major Australian banks. Bank B and C were supportive of the transaction, paving the way for a potential resolution.
During negotiations, our client discovered a unique opportunity – an extraordinary pharmacy acquisition in an outer suburb, where only one pharmacy was permitted. Valued at $4 million, Allfin swiftly assessed the application, believing the pharmacist had the security and cashflow for successful financing. A revised application was promptly lodged with Bank B and C.
While Bank B hesitated to provide a definitive commitment, Bank C wholeheartedly approved the entire transaction, refinancing from Bank A after 20 years, financing the property acquisition, and supporting the new pharmacy acquisition. Our client, armed with the peace of mind we provided, was able to secure the pharmacy at short notice, preventing it from going off the market.
Three years later, our client has exponentially increased sales and profitability in the acquired pharmacy. Our ability to deliver a rapid finance approval, backed by our in-depth industry knowledge and over 100 years of commercial pharmacy banking experience, played a pivotal role in this success.
Ready to make your move? Contact the Allfin team today to talk about your options.

The sucky new Tropicana orange juice cartons
What could Arnell, the agency that did the deed, have been thinking? It’s one thing to change the logo; it’s another to abandon the mnemonic orange with the straw in it. As package imagery goes, it was pretty smart, and decidedly memorable.
He goes on to call the redesign “a big tactical mistake”. I’m a Tropicana drinker and I think the new packaging sucks. It’s impossible to figure out at a glance which juice is which because all the packages look the same, aside from some thin lines at the very top. Horrible.

Vermont Business Magazine Senators Peter Welch (D-VT) and Debbie Stabenow (D-MI) and Representative Julia Brownley (D-CA) today introduced legislation to lower costs for veterans traveling to receive medical care through the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). By increasing the VA’s travel reimbursement rate, the Driver Reimbursement Increase for Veteran Equity (DRIVE) Act will make it easier for veterans to receive essential health care and ensure reimbursement rates keep pace with future inflation and fluctuations in gas prices. The bill is particularly important for veterans from small and rural communities, many of whom travel long distances to receive essential medical care through the VA.
“Our veterans have performed the ultimate public service. To honor that service, we must ensure the cost of the war includes the cost of caring for the warrior and provide the support our veterans need when their service comes to an end,” said Sen. Welch. “This bill strengthens veterans’ access to medical care and will help keep out of pocket costs low for vets and their families moving forward—it’s a long overdue change, and I’m grateful to work alongside Sen. Stabenow and Rep. Brownley to introduce this bill for America’s veterans.”

Finding ways to get kids off their screens and outside can feel like a challenge in today’s digital world. However, with a some creativity, you can inspire your children to embrace the outdoors and enjoy the benefits of fresh air and physical activity. Encouraging outdoor time not only supports their health but also nurtures their imagination and social skills.
Create an Inviting Outdoor Space
Transforming your backyard into a fun and engaging environment can make a significant difference in motivating your kids to head outdoors. Consider adding features like a sandbox, a trampoline, or a basketball hoop to give them activities they’ll look forward to. A basketball hoop, for instance, offers hours of entertainment and encourages friendly competition while improving coordination and fitness. Including comfortable seating, shade, and areas for creative play can also make your outdoor space more appealing.
Incorporate Outdoor Activities Into Family Time
Children are more likely to explore the outdoors if it’s part of regular family routines. Weekend picnics, evening walks, or backyard barbecues provide opportunities for kids to spend time outside while connecting with family. You can also plan nature hikes, bike rides, or trips to local parks to create lasting memories. When outdoor activities become family traditions, kids naturally develop a positive association with spending time outside.
Introduce Them to New Hobbies
Expose your kids to hobbies that encourage outdoor exploration. Gardening, birdwatching, and outdoor photography are great ways to spark curiosity about nature. Enrolling them in team sports or community programs can also foster a love for outdoor activities while helping them make friends. Learning to play basketball using the hoop in your backyard or at a nearby park can become a favorite pastime that keeps them active and engaged.
Limit Screen Time and Provide Alternatives
Reducing screen time can be a powerful motivator for outdoor play. Establish clear boundaries around device usage and offer exciting alternatives to fill the gap. Set up outdoor games, scavenger hunts, or water play to make going outside more appealing than staying indoors. Encouraging your kids to invite friends over for activities like shooting hoops on a basketball court can also make outdoor time more social and enjoyable.
Lead by Example
Kids often mirror their parents’ behavior, so showing enthusiasm for the outdoors can inspire them to follow suit. Make an effort to spend time outside yourself, whether it’s reading on the porch, gardening, or playing sports with your children. Joining them for a game of basketball or a nature walk demonstrates that outdoor activities are enjoyable for everyone, regardless of age.
Encouraging your kids to get outdoors doesn’t have to be a struggle. By creating inviting spaces, incorporating outdoor time into your family’s routine, introducing new hobbies, setting boundaries on screen use, and leading by example, you can help them develop a love for fresh air and active play. Simple steps like installing a basketball hoop or planning family adventures can make all the difference in cultivating healthy habits and joyful outdoor experiences.
