"There's no winner," he said of his scratch-off customers. "One guy bought $50 in tickets, and finally won $10."
For decades many of us have protested, marched, and written innumerable papers (killing our fair share of trees) to say that the actions governments are taking to protect the environment are not enough. As politicians and the powerful keep watering down what is necessary to protect the environment and trying to placate opposition with weak accords, we are seeing the impacts of climate change become increasingly devasting. Young people around the world are absolutely right to ask why go to school if we may well have destroyed the planet by the time they are finished being "educated," and what good is education if no one is listening to the educated anyway.
This is where the global student strikes for climate come in. Greta Thunberg started the actions in 2018 by striking in front of the Swedish parliament, eventually protesting every Friday to demand that the Swedish government reduce carbon emissions in accordance with the Paris Agreement. The movement has grown and now, on March 15, there will be sister strikes around the world as students around the world strike for the climate.
In Canada from Inuvik to St. John's, in cities and towns in every province, students are joining the global student strike for the climate on March 15. Click here to find a map which lays out many of the March 15 actions. Find out about the action near you and get involved.
In Canada, the first climate strike action was in Sudbury in November 2018, when 11-year-old Sophia Mathur joined #FridaysfortheFuture and went on a climate strike. Then for the second strike, on December 7, 2018, youth in nine Canadian cities joined Greta Thunberg and went on strike from school. The strikes continued to grow and the Canadian Fridays for the Future group has announced that May 3, 2019 will be the national Canadian student strike for the climate. In the lead up to the Canadian student strike, the Activist Toolkit has contacted student organizers across the country and will be amplifying what they are doing.

The two firms have submitted plans for a new £30 million engineering innovation centre at the Preston-based university.
The scheme will be the first building in the campus’ Allies and Morrison-designed masterplan.
Arranged in two blocks, the plans feature a single-sided atrium which opens out onto a new civic square.
The building, which provides a space for undergraduate students, includes social areas, break-out space, ‘lightweight’ teaching such as computer rooms and specialist teaching spaces.
A covered loggia runs along the length of the elevation and has been designed to draw the public to the front of the building.
The EIC is conceived diagrammatically as two blocks, each running north – south.
Facing New Square (east) the Atrium provides the principal social space and circulation route through the building, along with break-out, social learning space and ‘lightweight’ teaching space, such as computing rooms. Workshops and specialist teaching spaces face west towards Foster Square.
Accessed directly from the entrance lobby are the Atrium and Technology Showcase & Demonstration Workshops. By elevating these spaces above street level, the activities taking place within become highly visible across New Square creating a showcase for the Engineering Innovation Centre’s work.
A key concept from early inception was the expression of the building structure, ‘the engineering of the building’, becomes the architecture. Placing the structural frame on the outside of the building projects the structure in front of the veil of the glazed external envelope. Revealing the structure in this way promotes the building itself as an educational tool.
As of January 1, 2018, you can legally buy cannabis at any dispensary in California — just for the sheer pleasure of it. All you need is 21 years under your belt, a valid ID from any state, cash-money (dispensaries don’t take credit or debit cards), and a sense of adventure. Marijuana lounges — along the lines of what you’d see in Amsterdam — are taking root. Local chefs are experimenting with high-end, cannabis-laced meals. And the word “cannabis”? It’s the preferred term of choice by the people leading the way, so save “pot,” “weed,” “dope,” and other synonyms for the privacy of your own bake-space. Here, the industry’s vanguard share their favorite places to get stoned on San Francisco.
It looked like Revenge might be cancelled due to mediocre ratings last May. ABC gave the TV series a renewal instead, likely in part because the network’s other new dramas didn’t perform as well. Will Revenge’s ratings fall lower this season or will this nighttime soap’s numbers rise instead?

What do you think? Do you still like the Revenge TV series? Do you think it should be cancelled or renewed for a third season?
Revenge: Is It Time for the ABC Show to End?
Please don’t cancel Revenge. I never fail to watch Revenge episode after episode. I was so shocked by the news it will be canceled. Are you sure the reported rating is accurate?
It is unbelievable. The show is intelligent and the actors are great. Revenge is well produced and first class. Please do not cancel! I would like to see it continue to the 5th season and beyond.
I love Revenge. I hope it doesn’t get cancelled. Wasn’t aware of the show until recently. I bought the season pass on utube. I will very disappointed if it gets cancelled. I have been binge watching seasons 1 thru four so I will be up to date when it comes back in March.
Used to be one of my top shows but it’s slipped. I still watch but am disappointed with the story line. The French woman adds nothing in her relationship with Jack and I find it annoying. Emily is now being betrayed as a shrew and hard to warm up to. I’m sure WRITERS that it was false that Emily could not have children. Warm up the characters or you’ll lose me.
My husband and I enjoy the show but it seems to be dragging on too long. Waiting for the final season to be announced.
The man also called 911, and when officers got to where the man had said he spotted the thieves in the parking lot of a shopping center at 4900 N.C. 55, they found him and found his car hung up on a fire hydrant, Michael said.
When the man found the pair, he told police, he confronted them. One drove off in a car, but the other pointed the gun at him. Police later charged Burgess with being that man.
The victim floored his car after seeing the gun aimed his way, he told police, and it slammed into the hydrant.
The gunman was startled and fell, dropping the gun, the victim said. The two struggled, then the gunman recovered his weapon and ran.
The victim chased him, the gunman tripped and fell, and the victim snatched the gun and began hitting the robber, he told officers.
The robber got loose and ran again, north on N.C. 55, the story went.
Police began searching and arrested Burgess at an Extended Stay America hotel not far away, Michael said.
Burgess was taken for treatment of his injuries and then before a magistrate.

Losing the game after an impressive performance was frustrating for the City boss to witness, but he took a lot of positives from the way his players performed against a side at the top of the division.
The Lilywhites created few chances themselves but did an excellent job of restricting Slough to limited opportunities.
Charlie Woolfe started for City up front and delivered one of his best displays of the season.
He had both of City's best chances to get something out of the game, one in the first half and another just after the start of the second half.
In both cases, the chances came after good work by the impressive Cemal Ramadan.
But for all of their good play, City found themselves on the end of a 1-0 defeat when Mark Nisbet finally broke the deadlock for the hosts in the 74th minute when he scored following a corner.
"We were very unfortunate," said Gleeson.
"We played really well and had two of the best chances of the game before they scored.
"They had a lot of possession but didn't really hurt us. They had a number of corners and unfortunately one of them came off for them.
"I was gutted for the lads. They put a really good shift in and played really well and played some reat football.
"We always knew it was going to be a tough game but we can take a lot from it."
City are at home to Banbury United at Pro-Edge Westwood Road tonight, and Gleeson believes his player should be able to build on Saturday's performance and return to winning ways this evening.
"It will be difficult on Monday but if we perform anything like we did against Slough we should win the game," he said. "
There's a lot for us to be positive about after Saturday's game as we moved the ball well, and without the ball we defended very well."
This year, Americans will spend more than US$18 billion (S$25 billion) on Valentine's Day, which falls today. That is according to the National Retail Federation.
Americans and many others around the world will show their love and affection by buying heart- shaped chocolate boxes, sparkling wine, flowers, cards and jewellery. Nowhere on the list is hair.
Imagine getting a keepsake made of hair from someone's head! It would seem morbid. But through the 1800s, Americans showed their feelings with hair.
Hair was sewn into notebooks, put under glass in lockets and sent through the mail to loved ones. A large industry for hair products produced earrings, bracelets, necklaces and wall decorations. While the Valentine's Day industry seems recent, Americans have always mixed retail and sincerity; shopping and emotional relationships.
