Growing is our passion and we like to experiment ever year with new techniques and fun ways of training plants.
When it comes time to plant outdoors or indoors it is all about building a solid foundation for the plant and the main goal is to get as many buds as possible on one plant and through topping, super cropping and main lining you will be able to create the perfect canopy. We have all seen un-topped plants that grow straight up and form more of a Christmas-tree shape, and it’s not that this is a bad thing but through years of experience growing we have found that when you top your plants and spread them open you increase your yield. “Topping” a plant is when you cut off the tip of a branch.
Every time you top a branch you are creating twice the bud sites and increasing your canopy size. Through super cropping you are able to slow the growth on the top of the plant and allow lower branches to become tops. “Super cropping” is when you bend a top branch sideways without actually cutting it off. By pinching the branch you can soften the outer stem and then bend it sideways allowing more secondary branches to stretch up.
As well as slowing down the very top of the plant’s growth – super cropping actually strengthens the plant and can improve yields as well. “Main lining” is when you top your plant from the very beginning and instantly tie it down, thereby creating more of a Bonsai tree formation. Never letting the plant grow straight up and continually forcing the plant to expand wider instead of tall is main lining.
This style leaves you with a perfect flat top of nothing but buds, leaving no secondary branches (or what some like to call ‘suckers’). Plant training requires daily maintenance; the goal is to grow the widest plant possible. If you have ever grown a large scale plant you know how much work it takes to keep it clean. Once a plant reaches a certain size it is nearly impossible to reach the middle or try to spot a problem that is over 12ft off the ground. Not only does it become very hard to manage those sky high buds, but once the weather turns and rain falls you are in for a hell of a time. This is when caging and use of a trellis really comes in handy.
Throughout the season we are constantly training each plant to do exactly what we want it to. From the very first day of planting we start with a small inner cage that sets the base of our foundation. Something we have learned over time is that creating pressure on the plant not only strengthens the overall structure but actually makes the plant grow faster. Through the inner cage main branches are instantly tied out and locked in to place.
When plants reach a certain size every branch starts to become very heavy and can easily break from the main stalk. With this inner cage in place you can prevent branches from peeling off the main stalk and increase its ability to hold more weight. Once this plant has overgrown the first cage it is time for the second layer.
This is when we start to use green tape and pull every branch into its own area. Every time you pull out a branch you are letting more light penetrate into the inner section of the plant. With more light comes more branches and at the end of the season this means more buds.
Sometimes when trying to pull a branch through the cage it won’t quite be long enough and will bend right back in, so we figured out an easy technique.
Using one of the fan leafs you can wrap the long steam around the cage and actually lock the branch in place. With the fan leaf twisted around the cage it will no longer bend back in and will continue to grow and reach out. The next step is to set your first trellis layer over the top of the plant. This trellis will allow you to pull each top branch into its own square and prevent the inner section of the plant from breaking or falling sideways.
Some people think that caging and trellis is overkill but when it comes time to harvest and plants are at their max weight you can see how well this system works. It is amazing how fast plants can grow under the full sun and sometimes they get so big we need to lock in the triple cage. Now it is time for the next roll of green tape and the final training process to finish off the season.
Measuring a whopping 40ft long, this triple cage will hold up all of the outer branches and prevent buds from falling down into the dirt. As harvest time comes to an end and rain falls this plant will be ready for any weather. When branches start to lean and fall sideways they will no longer continue to produce weight because they think they have reached their limit. With the help of caging and trellis you can keep these branches and buds standing up straight, thereby enabling them to continue producing more weight.
Growing is our passion and we like to experiment ever year with new techniques and fun ways of training plants. In 2015 we grew the world’s first “ganja microphone stand” by training a plant to grow straight up and cutting off all the side branches. This technique is completely backwards to how we usually train our plants, as instead of training it to be a bush we trained it to grow sky high.
Maxing out at 14 1/2ft tall this plant had a perfect smooth stalk that we could then let cure and begin to sand and lacquer for a clean finish. After dialing in our technique the following year we grew another ganja mic stand but this time we topped it at the height we needed instead of letting it go untopped.
By doing this we were able to grow a much larger stalk and experiment with some insane main lining. Instead of the traditional tall cage we tossed on a section over the top laying it side ways to create a “T” shape so we could then train the tops to grow straight out.
Weaving branches in and out of the cage holes we trained these tops to grow in a complete circle around the “T” cage. Some strains are very flexible and can bend any way you want, while others can easily break and snap where you try bending. It takes experience to know the limits of plant training, and it always depends on the genetics you are growing.
Some strains benefit from training more than others do. When working with Sativa-dominant genetics top and train often, when working with Indica-dominant genetics you want to let them get established before topping.
Sometimes you can slow down the growth of a plant if it is not a vigorous growing strain. Training plants is all about manipulating the way they grow, so have fun and try something new next time you go out to your garden.

Discovering what brings us contentment and joy in life is a deeply personal journey. In a world where material possessions often hold sway, it becomes vital to reflect on the concept of “copacetic living” – a state of well-being aligned with our needs and desires. This article delves into the diverse perspectives on copacetic living, drawing insights from a visit to Haiti and reflecting on the current state of affairs in America.
The Value of Perspective: From a Modest Car to a Cadillac
In recounting personal experiences, the author emphasizes the relative nature of what brings us joy. Their delight in a modest VW Beetle stands in contrast to an affluent businessman’s lack of excitement over annual trades for a new Cadillac. This highlights how our individual values and circumstances shape our perception of what is valuable and truly copacetic.
A Glimpse of Haiti: Finding Copacetic Amidst Desperate Poverty
The author’s visit to Haiti exposes them to a people living in extreme poverty yet finding contentment through faith and hope. Despite lacking material amenities, the Haitians’ devotion and elongated Sunday worship demonstrate their belief in a promised joyful Kingdom. This poignant example challenges the complacency of those who possess abundant resources but may not truly feel copacetic.
Divine Judgment and Self-Evaluation: Striving for a Copacetic Life
The thought of facing divine judgment prompts introspection and self-evaluation. Recognizing our deficiencies in loving God and our neighbors should motivate us to improve and lead a more copacetic life. Despite the challenges faced by Americans today, reminiscent of historical periods like the Revolutionary War and the Civil War, this reflection serves as a reminder to examine our values and work towards a sense of well-being.
Seeking Comfort in a Tumultuous World: The Search for Copacetic Living
The current state of affairs in America prompts introspection on the level of comfort and contentment individuals experience. From the tensions and stresses of historical conflicts to the complexities of modern society, the quest for copacetic living is ongoing. By examining the resilience of the Haitian people, who find solace in their faith and hope for a better future, we can learn valuable lessons about what truly brings contentment amidst adversity.
In conclusion, copacetic living transcends material possessions and is deeply influenced by our values, circumstances, and perspectives. It requires self-reflection, a reassessment of priorities, and a focus on fostering genuine connections with God and others. By examining the experiences of others, such as the Haitians, we can gain insight into finding contentment in the simplest of circumstances. As we navigate the challenges of our time, let us strive for a copacetic life that prioritizes faith, compassion, and a genuine sense of well-being.

Mercedes-AMG One Hypercar Enters Series Production
Customer deliveries will start before the end of this year.
Andrew KrokReviews Editor / Cars
Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.
It feels like it's been ages since we first heard about the Mercedes-AMG One, a hypercar for public consumption that relies on Formula 1 powertrain tech. But the long wait for this car to enter production has finally reached its endpoint.
Mercedes-Benz this week announced that the AMG One has finally entered series production. 275 vehicles will be built, with initial deliveries expected to take place before the year ends, with each model costing its lucky owner nearly $3 million. The vehicles will be assembled at a small facility in the United Kingdom, with the help of its manufacturing partner Multimatic.
Watch the Mercedes-AMG One Hypercar Get Hand-Built
The AMG One is entirely hand-built. Each vehicle will go through 16 individual assembly and testing stations. It's quite the arduous process, with some parts of the car being assembled and then disassembled again for various reasons. The outer skin of the vehicle, for example, gets put together to ensure that every panel fits to perfection, before being taken apart so each piece can be painted by hand.
The first four stations in the assembly process are devoted to installing mechanical and low-voltage components, including the car's electrical system. After that, the high-voltage parts (including the battery) are installed, while the 1.6-liter turbocharged V6 and its four electric motors are tested, and then the interior is installed. Following the interior, the exterior is reassembled. Then, the wheels and headlights are installed and adjusted, and the whole thing is sent to the dyno to ensure the vehicle functions properly in all modes.
The final steps ensure the AMG One stands up to Mercedes' snuff for noise, vibration and harshness, in addition to "monsoon" testing that makes sure the vehicle is nice and waterproof. Finally, a light booth lets technicians inspect all vehicle surfaces, while basic function tests ensure that every last component is functioning perfectly. More than 50 individuals will be involved in the car's assembly from start to finish.
To cap everything off, the automaker's test driver takes each car for a spin on a nearby proving ground before it's wrapped in protective materials and shipped to Mercedes-AMG's headquarters in Affalterbach, Germany, where customers will take delivery of the 1,049-horsepower F1-based hypercar.

T for tardy - The Boston Globe
THERE WILL always be unhappy customers in any business that measures its own performance based on "mean distance between failures." But that's reality at the MBTA, where state transit officials are trying to prepare riders for sharp fare increases in January.
...Also on the plus side, riders who use both subway trains and buses in their daily commute are in store for free transfers, which could actually lower the cost of their ride. But it is not so clear how fare increases from $1.25 to $1.70 for subway rides and from 90 cents to $1.25 for buses translate into better service for commuters. And occasional riders without CharlieCards could be looking at subway fares as high as $2.25 and bus fares reaching $1.60.
Fare increases might be bearable if they coincided with clear improvements to the T's public address systems, which evoke distress calls from distant ships breaking up at sea, and upgrades of LED message boards to include reliable arrival times for the next train. Grabauskas says that many such communication improvements will be in place by the end of 2007. Major upgrades to security systems, including radio interoperability for first responders, are also coming on line, he says.
Transit riders don't care that the T strains under debt service that consumes about a third of the authority's annual operating budget. They want reliability, safety, and cleanliness. That's what the T must provide before it can justify hiking fares

The theoretical prediction of x-ray absorption spectra (XAS) has become commonplace in electronic structure theory. The ability to better model and understand L-edge spectra is of great interest in the study of transition metal complexes and a wide variety of solid state materials. However, until recently few first-principles works have modeled L-edge XAS due to the presence of strong spin–orbit coupling in the 2p orbitals, which splits the observed peaks into multiple groups of features. Therefore, a proper description of spin–orbit coupling is vital for the successful prediction of L-edge spectra. A number of new approaches that incorporate spin–orbit coupling have recently made advances in the computation of L-edge spectra. In this review, we describe recent work in computational L-edge XAS and how these methods may continue to improve in the future. Comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of the various approaches are considered, with special attention to not only the computational cost of the level of theory but also the various approaches that can be used to compute the absorption spectra with a large number of high energy excited states.

“Thankyou Lord, for this little one you have blessed me with
So late in life.
I thought I had finished with four-hourly feeds,
Immunisation, teething problems …
All those ‘fringe-benefits’ that come with babies.
But here I am,
Up to my eyes in them.
After eight years, we’re starting all over again …
I feel young again, Lord.
What nicer thing could happen to a woman almost forty?
Knowing this is my last child makes me exquisitely aware of every moment.
Thankyou once more for letting me be a mother.
I would not have missed it for the world.”
– Charmaine Solomon
“Putting all the odd bits and bobs of me out on a shelf, an eye, an ear, a favored toe.”
Indeed, Leper’s love is rare
I love like a leper.
Putting all the odd bits and bobs of me
out on a shelf,
an eye, an ear, a favored toe.
Hobbling about on twinned islands, made for lamed people like us.
Painting other’s faces with mercury,
gazing with one longing good eye across the strait,
from our baths of virgins blood.
Begging bees to sting us, bring our nerves back to life.
You were never safe,
and now you’re dangerous.
It just hurts more to be disappointed, than to be physically hurt
This time I know, it would never be the same,
So many things have changed.
This time I know, we would never be the same.
When I’m giving up everything for you.
I still have many doubts. There are a lot of things on my mind.
Something’s telling me to leave but I won’t.
I’ve been waiting for so long but you’ll never know.
Tell me what am I supposed to do?
since you’re only happy when I’m wasted.
One of mine goes;
O little, little, tiny ant;
Do you wonder who I am,
Standing big moving plant,
Always about to do you harm.
Made me smile breathlessly
Rapunzel, Rapunzel! Let down your hair
She sits with a tilted hip
In the posture of romance
Practiced down to fingertips
Through literature and dance
She thumbs pages in her head
Adopting Sleeping Beauty
Or lips imagined to be red
In a Snow White fantasy
And by turns she will believe
Her hair brushes the floor
Rapunzel in her tower keep

New mural will create photo opportunity highlighting Kendallville
Experience the Heart of Kendallville (EHK), the city's Main Street organization, has been awarded a non-matching grant by the Indiana Destination Development Corporation (IDDC) for a new public art project.
Winners in 34 counties across the state were announced on May 9. The IDDC press release indicates the funded public art projects will "tell a community's unique story" to help engage first-time visitors and build local pride.
Kristen Johnson, Main Street Manager, confirms that Chris Lesley, the artist who produced the mural in the city's new downtown pocket park, will create another one on the side of the Atz Law building facing Williams Street. Early concepts discussed include spelling out "Kendallville" with letters filled in with graphics depicting notable Kendallville people, places, and things. Similar murals are seen in cities across the nation and are often the backdrop for traveler photos. Southbound traffic on Main Street will be able to enjoy good visibility of the new art piece when complete.
EHK was awarded $3,975, which will fully fund the art project. The IDDC awarded a total of $242,000 to projects across the state for similar efforts in other communities and believe the effort will further promote Indiana as a destination for travelers.

If you watched last’s American Music Awards you may have noticed some really weird commercials. We’re not talking about Miss Piggy performing Adele’s Hello. That one made total sense and reinvigorated our love for both Miss Piggy and Adele.
No, were talking about the ads with little kids in old bedrooms and long, dark hallways. Sound like every horror movie you’ve ever seen? We thought so too, until the final commercial included Rihanna walking towards the children. We still have no idea what was happening in the story line, but now Rihanna has announced a new world tour, so we’re considering this puzzle solved.
Rihanna’s Anti World Tour kicks off February 26, 2016 in San Diego and will be followed by more than 40 shows across North America and Europe, including seven Canadian stops. Rapper Travis Scott will act as Rihanna’s North American opener, while Big Sean and Toronto’s own The Weeknd will perform during her European dates.
Rihanna is continuing her partnership with TIDAL because she must really owe Jay Z some favours and early tickets will be available on the music streaming site starting November 30.
News of a world tour comes as a surprise from Rihanna, who hasn’t released an album since 2012’s Unapologetic, which included the singles Diamonds and Stay featuring Mikky Ekko. Rihanna has released a handful of singles since then, including American Oxygen, Bitch Better Have My Money and FourFiveSeconds with Kanye West and Paul McCartney in January.
Rumours have been circulating around Rihanna’s eighth studio album for the past two years, which initially was thought to be called R8 and then changed to Anti, but we’ve still yet to hear a concrete release date.
With today’s news of a world tour, the rumour mill is again churning, this time with whispers that Anti will also be released this week. Featuring songs written with Natalia Kills and Canadian electronic artist Kiesza, Anti will be the first album Rihanna has released not in back to back years. Consider us eagerly excited.

On April 21, 2015, Finance Minister Joe Oliver delivered his Federal budget in Ottawa.
While you’ve probably seen plenty of media coverage, we thought you would appreciate an overview of how some of the key budget items relate to investments and taxes.
Tax-Free Savings Account
Foremost is an increase in the Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) contribution limit from the current $5,500 to $10,000. The proposed change is retroactive to January 1, 2015, and anyone over age 18 who have not contributed since the TFSA’s creation in 2009 now have $41,000 in contribution room.
TFSA limit increases also have been decoupled from the inflation rate, meaning future increases aren’t automatic and instead will have to be legislated by the government.
Registered Retirement Income Fund
Proposed changes to Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF) rules will mean seniors won’t have to withdraw as much money from their retirement savings. The budget cuts the required withdrawal amount at age 71 to 5.28% from the current 7.38%. Required withdrawal rates still increase every year, but instead of topping out at 20% at age 94, the cap isn’t reached until age 95.
Lower required RRIF minimum withdrawals mean more savings remain tax deferred and could reduce the possible claw back of the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS), OAS and other income tested benefits and tax credits.
Home Accessibility Tax Credit
Another budget item aimed at seniors and others who qualify for the Disability Tax Credit is a new Home Accessibility Tax Credit. This proposed 15% non-refundable tax credit applies to up to $10,000 of eligible expenditures per year on renovations, such as wheelchair ramps, walk-in bathtubs and wheel-in showers. So a maximum benefit of $1,500 per year.
We hope you find these highlights useful. If you’d like to discuss how these and other Federal budget initiatives affect your financial goals, please don’t hesitate to contact us.


Construction is underway on a new transit maintenance facility in Regina.
The Government of Saskatchewan and Canada are each contributing up to $9,716,666 million to the building of the facility, with the city contributing about $10,666,668. In total, the $30.1 million in funding will be going towards this project.
Regina’s Mayor Michael Fougere said this project is all about providing efficient public service for Regina residents.
“They (the residents) won’t see anything change,” he noted. “But in terms of providing the background to this, the support for maintenance is really critical for us.”
Fougere also said the project will save city money.
Minister of Public Safety and Member of Parliament for Regina-Wascana Ralph Goodale was in attendance, on the behalf of Minister of Infrastructure and Communities, François-Philippe Champagne.
Goodale said this project will consolidate Regina’s transit maintenance.
“Part of this work has been done over on Albert Street, it’ll all now be here on Winnipeg Street,” noted the Minister.
The transit fleet maintenance facility will be repurposed for city roadway vehicles and equipment storage. The new building, which will be attached to the transit operations centre on Winnipeg, is expected to be completed in 2020.

Feeding baby toads
General Toad Care - Four Seasons Animal Hospital
Congratulations on welcoming a new toad to your family. We here at Four Seasons Animal Hospital want to help you with your new friend, starting with the basics…
Size & Life Span
Depending on the species of toad:
Average adult size: 2 to 6 inches
Average life span: up to 10+ years
A well-balanced toad diet includes recently fed crickets, waxworms, and mealworms. Your toad’s age will determine how often you feed him. If you have a young juvenile toad, you should feed him everyday. If you have an adult toad you should plan to feed him two to three times a week. You should give your toad four to six standard-sized food items (standard being the size of a cricket) when you feed him. Toads will recognize a routine. Try to feed your toad at the same time every feeding day. Only feed your toad store-bought crickets. Crickets caught in the wild could be carrying parasites that will make your toad sick. Food items should be sprinkled with a calcium supplement at every feeding and multi-vitamin supplement once or twice a week. Most toads will eat their food within 15 minutes. Wait at least 15 minutes and then remove any uneaten food to prevent food rot.
Cage Size & Design
You will need to purchase a ten gallon tank for one or two toads.
Substrate is ground covering that is specifically made for terrariums. Apply at least three inches of substrate down on the floor of your terrarium to allow your toad to burrow when he feels like hiding. The type of substrate will depend on your specific type of toad. In general ‘frog moss’, which is sold at pet stores, makes for good covering, as does additive-free potting or topsoil purchased at a garden store. Pulverized coconut fiber is also an excellent form of substrate. Never use artificial turf or gravel, as these ground coverings are too harsh for your toad’s delicate skin.
Keep your toad’s tank between 65-82°F
Humidity & Water
Your toad should always have a bathing pool. You can make one in a couple steps: (1) buy a shallow plastic bowl, (2) make a hole in the substrate so that the bowl’s mouth is level with the rest of the substrate on the floor of the terrarium (3) put a sturdy plank of some kind into the bowl so that your toad can get in and out of the water easily as toads a relatively poor swimmers. The pool should be roughly half the toad’s height and four times as long as your toad. It is very important that the water you use to fill the pool is dechlorinated– toads can die if given chlorinated water.
Potential dechlorinated water sources include:
● Aged water: Allow chlorinated water to sit in an open container for 24-48 hours so chlorine can dissipate.
● Bottled spring water
● Filtered tap water: run through a sediment and activated charcoal filter
Maintain humidity over 60% by misting the tank as needed every day.
Toads should have roughly 12 hours of ‘sunlight’ each day. Use a daylight lamp or a low UV level lamp, but only you have provided your toad with hiding places (so he can get away from the light if he wishes to). If you want to be able to see your toad at night, you can install a red lamp to light up his home at night. Toads are most active at night. Toads can’t see red light, so they will think they are moving around in the dark but you will still be able to see them.
You should generally not put more than three toads together in a tank, as many toads can become aggressive. Never house different kinds of toads together.
Amphibian skin is very sensitive so handle toads as little as possible. Always wear gloves when handling your frog as oils or residue on your skin can harm your toad.
Please do not take a toad from the wild. Wild animals should not be taken from their home in the wilderness and should be left alone in their natural habitat.
What do Baby Toads Eat in the Wild and as Pets?
For years, many people mistakenly believed that touching a toad would cause you to grow warts! We know that’s not true, but toads have never received the same love that frogs get. Have you ever heard of a princess kissing a toad? Didn’t think so. Still, their popularity is growing, and people are starting to keep these carnivorous amphibians as pets.
If you’re planning to get a baby toad, you’ll need to figure out how and what to feed it. There are some differences in a baby toad’s diet if they’re in captivity versus the wild. But there are also some notable similarities. Starting at tadpoles, we’re going to discuss the main foods that toads will eat in the wild and in captivity, so you can be sure to feed your toad the proper diet.
What do Tadpoles Eat?
Toads are hatched from eggs, but they don’t come out with legs. Rather, they’re born as tadpoles. They don’t even have air-breathing lungs yet, so they’re stuck in the water until they mature.
When a tadpole is first born, it will eat the remaining yolk in its egg. After that, the little tadpole will rely mostly on plant matter to sustain itself. This means eating algae and little floating plant particles. However, if there’s not enough plant matter for the tadpole, it might turn to cannibalism. While this is uncommon, it’s far from unheard of.
- Yolk in their egg sack
- Plant matter
- Other tadpoles
What do Baby Toads Eat in the Wild?
In the wild, a toad is going to eat a diverse array of food. They have varied diets and are open to eating pretty much anything that comes along that will fit in their mouth. Remember, toads are carnivorous, so they strictly eat living creatures. For baby toads, those creatures are very small.
Any type of crawling insect or bug is a great meal for a toad in the wild. They’ll munch on small crickets and grasshoppers, which will increase in size as the toad does. Even small mice are fair game for a toad, though they tend to eat these more once they reach maturity.
Worms of all kinds are delicacies. Mealworms and earthworms are common cuisine for these four-legged amphibians. As the toad gets larger, bigger meals also become available. Snails, slugs, and locusts will all be eaten if they stray too near to a large enough toad. Centipedes and flies aren’t safe either.
- Small mice
What do Baby Toad Pets Eat?
For toads in captivity, nutrition looks pretty similar to that of wild toads. However, there are some foods that pet toads are unlikely to eat. For example, centipedes and locusts might be common meals for a wild toad, but you’ll have a hard time purchasing feeder centipedes from the local pet store!
You never want to feed a pet toad something that you caught in the wild. Though these insects are on their meal list, wild-caught specimens are liable to have bacteria, diseases, and more that can negatively affect your toad’s health. Even if it’s a food your toad eats all the time, such as crickets, you’ll want to stick to store-bought crickets and never feed your pet toad crickets that you caught.
You might notice that some of the insects on this list are different from what wild toads eat. A lot of that comes down to what’s available. Since you have to get sterile insects that haven’t been out in the world, only insects that are grown as feeders are appropriate.Image Credit: pixel2013, Pixabay

How to Feed Your Pet Toad
You have to be aware that juvenile toads eat their food whole. If you provide prey that’s too large, they’re likely to choke. Ensure that the insects you choose are no larger than the width of your toad’s head.Gut Loading
Also, make sure to gut feed the insects you’re going to provide for your toad. Gut feeding is the process of loading the insects up with nutrients by allowing them to feed on fruits and vegetables before giving them to your toad. This ensures that your toad is getting as diverse of a nutrient intake as possible.Image Credit: CassidyMarshall, PixabayBuy from Reputable Sources
Though you want to make sure to purchase all of your feeder insects from reputable sources, you will have plenty of choices to pick from. And you should feed as many of these to your toad as possible. It’s a good idea to feed them different foods each day. For instance, you might feed your toad earthworms on Monday, crickets on Tuesday, Aphids on Wednesday, and so on.Establish a Routine
Another good habit is feeding your toad at the same time every evening. Keep in mind that toads are nocturnal, so feeding shouldn’t be done during the day. Captive toads do best on a feeding schedule since they recognize routine. Your toad will be healthiest if you feed it at the same time each night; around nine o’clock.
One more good rule of thumb is to only feed your toad for 15 minutes. Put the insects into your toad’s cage and let it go to town. But after 15 minutes, remove anything that hasn’t been eaten. This prevents overfeeding and ensures that dead insects don’t rot in your toad’s environment.

Things to Never Feed a Toad
While toads certainly need a diverse and varied diet, there are plenty of things that you should never feed a toad; wild or domestic. These foods can cause serious problems for any toad. Take salt or seasoning as an example. They can cause a toad to dry up and dehydrate, which could spell death.
You’ll also see that feeding meat to your toad is a terrible idea, even though toads are carnivorous. These animals only eat live meals though. They aren’t scavengers. You should take care to only feed your toad living insects, though you can also feed rodents when they’re large enough.
Make sure to never feed your toad any leftover human food. While this might be ok for dogs, it’s a terrible choice for toads and can lead to disastrous consequences.
- Expired Food
Toads have a pretty diverse palate. In the wild, they’ll eat pretty much anything of an edible size that comes along. Worms, bugs, centipedes, slugs, and more are all tempting choices for a wild toad. But toads in captivity need more structure and safer feeding. They haven’t been exposed to all the same bacteria and could get sick from eating wild-caught insects. As such, baby pet toads should only be fed feeder insects from reputable pet stores to ensure continuing health and longevity.

Keeping green toad (Bufo viridis)
The green toad is suitable for beginners due to its low maintenance requirements. But it should be remembered that she has very delicate skin, which is easily injured. To create all the conditions, you will need a horizontal type aquaterrarium (with a volume of 50 liters or more). A mixture of peat (sand), garden soil, sandstone and tree bark is used as a substrate...
Green Toad Aquaterrarium
Type: Horizontal Aquaterrarium.
Dimensions: 50 liter terrarium (for two adult animals).
Substrate: peat/sand mixture, garden soil, sandstone, tree bark. They like to dig, so the substrate layer should be thick.
Cleaning/cleaning: once every 2-3 weeks with light disinfectants.
Temperature: daytime - 23-26°C, nighttime - 21°C.
Heating: not required.
Lighting: daylight hours - 12 hours. Lighting with ultraviolet lamps.
Humidity: up to 50%.
Plants: Needed in large numbers. Plants should be tough and strong.
Reservoir: An additional reservoir is optional.
Decoration: You need to build some shelters from stones or tree bark.
Feeding the green toad
Can be given: any live crawling insects - earthworms, slugs, bloodworms, crickets, cockroaches, flies, moths, etc.
Feeding frequency: adults - 2-3 times a week with a mixture of insects, young (growing) - daily.
Water: a small saucer with fresh drinking water is required (the depth should not exceed the height of the toad). Water is changed daily.
Mineral supplements/vitamins: powdered vitamins and calcium. Young animals are fed 2-3 times a week, adults - 1 time.

Socialization / domestication
Psychology: green toads are awake until midnight, even until 2 or 3 in the morning.
Green Toad Breeding
Preparation: The breeding season comes after hibernation (6-8 weeks). During hibernation, the temperature in the terrarium is lowered to 10 ° C and below. After spawning, the animals are returned to the terrarium.
Adjustable terrarium / aquarium: volume 50-60 liters, aeration is required.
Male to female ratio: 1:1
Gestation/incubation period: after mating, the female lays two strands of eggs 3-4 meters long. At room temperature, tadpoles appear after 5-6 days.
Feeding young people: scalded nettle, hercules, small (cut) tubifex, "live dust", dry fish food.
Growth rate: fast. Landing in 55-58 days. Starter food - crickets.
Molting: after molting, toads eat the old skin.

What to feed a ferret - how a ferret eats at home, what they can eat and how to make a diet
What ferrets eat is the first question future owners ask veterinarians and pet store employees. Today we will tell you what the ferret's diet should be like, we will offer the optimal feeding scheme at home.
What do ferrets eat?
Ferrets are predators by nature. In their natural environment, they independently obtain food: they hunt rodents, small birds, frogs, lizards, and insects. Animals love to eat fish, but this product is not the main one.
The animal receives the microelements and substances necessary for life from animal food. There are practically no plants in his usual menu. This fact must be taken into account when planning a diet.
How to feed a ferret at home?
You can use natural food or buy ready-made foods that are sold in pet stores and veterinary clinics. The latter option is preferable, since ready-made mixtures contain the necessary set of minerals and trace elements.
Regardless of which food option you choose, the animal should receive per day:
- protein of animal origin - at least 30% of the total portion;
- fats - about 20%;
- complex carbohydrates - 10-15%;
- fiber - up to 3-5%.
Cute predators independently obtain food only in the wild. This is not possible in an apartment setting. Therefore, the main task of the owner is to provide his pet with all the conditions for a comfortable and healthy life.
What can be given to ferrets?
There is a list of allowed and prohibited products.
Let's start with those that can be given to small predators:
- meat - chicken, turkey, beef (lean), pork, rabbit, boiled lamb;
- seafood - sea fish, squid, peeled shrimp;
- multi-grain cereals;
- boiled eggs.
What should not be fed to a ferret?
In order not to harm your pet, protect it from vegetables and fruits. The digestive system of ferrets is not designed to digest large amounts of plant foods.
What else you need to give up:
- any nuts;
- desserts containing sugar;
- products containing salt, spicy spices;
- roasted, smoked meat;
- onion, garlic.
Do not feed your pet from the table and do not try to give your ferret dry or canned dog or cat food.
What do ferrets eat: treats
If you want to pamper the animal, remember that the treat should be not only tasty, but also healthy. You can give cottage cheese with a minimum fat content, dates, bananas, pieces of hard cheese.
The listed products cannot be used as the main diet. Veterinarians recommend giving them no more than 2 times a week.
Ferret diet based on natural products
If you decide to cook for your pet yourself, do not add salt and spices to his food.
The daily diet should consist of the following parts:
- two-thirds meat and offal;
- one third - cereals: buckwheat, oatmeal, millet.
Males should eat at least 300 grams per day, females - about 150-200 grams, cubs - 100 grams.
Live food for ferrets
Not every owner will go to ensure that the diet of the animal is fully consistent with its nutrition in the natural environment.
If you have such a desire, you can give small rodents, worms, insects to be eaten by a predator.
How do I feed my ferret dry food?
The most convenient and profitable feeding of a ferret at home is ready-made dry food. Their compositions are designed taking into account the daily needs of the animal's body. Manufacturers have provided the correct proportions of ingredients, calculated the energy value.

I invite you to pray with me on the theme: “Second Chance Saints.” Holy One of Old, open our eyes that we may see. In the Name of the Author, the Word and the Translator. Amen.
This evening’s first lesson, Exodus 35:21-29, comes from the weekly readings of our Jewish sisters and brothers designated for the week that began on Friday evening. The Israelites are in the wilderness – a useful space for a Lenten sermon – and the text itself is put into its final form at a time when Exodus evoked not only Egypt but also Babylon and Persia, not only immigration to Canaan but the longed for return to the Holy Land: A second chance. Since a text without a context is a pretext, let me tell you what has happened and what is really going on here.

Saint Perpetua left us one of the earliest pieces of literature written by a Christian woman. She kept a journal of her conversion and imprisonment up to the moment of her death. One of her companions added the details of her death on 7 March 203 before his own death.
He isn't really Joseph's son is he? He doesn't sound like a carpenter's or masonry apprentice. He sounds like a Torah-teacher. But who taught him? Who is his Doktorvater, his doctor-father? (That's what we academics call our dissertation advisor. I have a doctor-mother, a Doktormutter.) At what Rabbi's feet did he sit? Who is his rabbinic teacher, master, father? Whose son is he?
In the beginning was the word, the logos, in the Gospel. In the beginning was the Aramaic Memra in the mystical tradition of Judaism on which Yochannan whom you know as John is drawing. In the beginning was the d'var, the Hebrew word for word. In the beginning was the word, the divine word, the holy word, the spoken but not yet written word, perhaps a word whispered in a still small voice.
Installation sermon for Pr. Becky Resch of Abiding Presence Lutheran Church, Ewing NJ: "She is a shepherd." "The women who proclaim the good news are a great force." "Raise your woman's voice with power - proclaiming good news." Are these words really in the bible?

Moving in: Prof Jimmy Volmink is the Faculty of Health Sciences' new GlaxoWellcome Chair of Primary Health Care.
PROFESSOR Jimmy Volmink – with a family of four in tow – has returned from a two-year residence in the United States to step in as UCT's new GlaxoWellcome Chair of Primary Health Care in the Faculty of Health Sciences, a move primarily inspired, he says, by the desire to have a tangible influence on health care in the province and country.
The 46-year old Volmink becomes only the second person to hold this chair. He succeeds the late Dr Dumo Baqwa, who passed away in August 2001.
A Capetonian by birth, Volmink grew up in Belgravia Estate in Athlone, matriculating from Alexander Sinton High School in 1974. Eager to do medical studies, he enrolled for a Bachelor of Science degree, majoring in biochemistry, at UCT in 1977, as part of a relatively small group of black students on Campus.
He joined an even smaller black minority immediately on completion of this degree, taking up studies at the UCT medical school in 1978. Five years later – a period punctuated by the occasional class boycotts – he graduated as a medical doctor, and would over the next few years work as medical officer in Swaziland, as senior house officer at Red Cross Children's Hospital, and as medical officer, district surgeon and family practitioner in Mitchells Plain, among other posts.
Volmink headed for the US for the first time in 1987, on a fellowship to Harvard University where he completed a masters degree in public health. Returning to South Africa, he continued his work in Mitchells Plain before joining the Medical Research Council (MRC) as a specialist epidemiologist. He was awarded the Nuffield Medical Fellowship in 1993 completing a doctorate in cardio-vascular medicine at the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom in 1996.
He found his way to the MRC again directly afterwards, this time as founding director of the South African Cochrane Centre, part of the Cochrane Collaboration, an international organisation that studies the efficacy of health care interventions.
The US beckoned once more, and in 2001 he took up office as Director of Research and Analysis at the Global Health Council in Washington DC. Here he would immerse himself in the provision of up-to-date research information to policy-makers and advocates working to improve global health.
Sometime last year, Volmink was approached to apply for the UCT post. â€œIt seemed to be the kind of job that would be potentially influential and help me to make a real contribution to health care,â€ he notes.
So, on a sleepy January 2 this year, he arrived at the Medical School to helm the University's primary health care efforts. For much of the past two months, he has busied himself producing – for both his own operational purposes and also to clear up any misconceptions among others – an outline of the extent and nature of primary health care, oft confused, he says, even in government, with primary care (â€œfirst contact careâ€).
To this end, he has drawn up an â€œoperational definitionâ€ of primary health care, one that he hopes will guide the work of the faculty's many departments over the next few years. Focussing on both individual and population health needs, Volmink describes primary health care as an approach that attempts to harness the efforts of a range of professional disciplines working alongside the community to promote health.
His rubric defines primary health care as evidence-based (â€œscientificâ€) essential care made available to everyone (â€œequityâ€) at the appropriate level of the health care system (â€œprimary or higher levelâ€) and delivered in a manner that is acceptable to both the individual and the community. â€œPrimary health care,â€ he adds, â€œis an approach to health care, a philosophy about how you deliver health care.â€
In keeping with this tenet, Volmink sees his responsibility as, among other things, providing support for other departments in the faculty, promoting inter-disciplinary research into major health issues, and serving as link between the health science faculty and policy makers in the province. He also plans to keep up his own research interests into interventions for the control of tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS.
In the meantime, he awaits a move to a new office – he's keeping his boxes unpacked until then – and the arrival of a new secretary. And occasionally he also bumps into familiar faces, such as daughter Lauren who is also settling in at the medical campus as a first-year medical student (she had given up a place in a US medical school and a part-time modelling career in her zeal to return to South Africa) and former Deputy Vice-Chancellor Professor Wieland Gevers.
Gevers, currently with the Institute of Infectious Diseases and Molecular Medicine (IIDMM), made an â€œindelible impressionâ€ on the young Volmink during his time as a medical student, both as teacher and mentor. â€œI can only describe him as one of my heroes – he was not only an inspiring teacher, but he also took a personal interest in me as a student,â€ recalls Volmink.
Marking their new association, mentor and former student earlier this year celebrated their return to the faculty over a cup of collegial tea at a special welcome-back function.

Blayney and Rachel
Caneen each scored a goal as the Central Connecticut women's
soccer team improved to 3-1-3 on the season with a 2-0 shutout of
Holy Cross on Friday afternoon in New Britain. Senior goalkeeper
Herd made one save for her fourth straight shutout and fifth of
the season. CCSU outshot the Crusaders15-1 in shots on goal in the
victory. They play again on Sunday at #13 Boston College at 1
The game marked the fourth straight shutout for senior keeper Herd and the Blue Devil defense which played solid allowing only one shot on goal in the entire 90 minutes. The Crusaders had four total shots against 28 for the home team.
Holy Cross keeper Jessica Stone made 13 stops in net for the Crusaders (0-5-0).
The game was scoreless through the first 76 minutes before Blayney found the net at 76:01 to give the Blue Devils the 1-0 lead. Blayney took a pass in the box from freshman Jillian Cipriano, made a strong move to rid herself of the defender and chipped the ball over the head of Stone for her second goal of the season.
Caneen beat the clock to score her second goal of the year. Taking a pass from Brittany Emin she beat her defender down the left side and made a strong move on Stone to hit the back of the net. The ball crossed the goalline just as the horn sounded the end the game giving the Blue Devils the 2-0 victory.
The shutout was the fourth straight for Central Connecticut, the second-longest shutout streak in program history. Only a five-game streak at the end of the 1997 season is longer in the 14-year history of the program.
Herd and her defense have now allowed only one goal in her 600 minutes played on the season, good for a goals against average of 0.15 and a 3-0-3 record for the senior.
CCSU returns to action on Sunday at #13 Boston College at 1 p.m.

It's got delightful watercolor illustrations with whimsical details. You and your kids will love the silliness throughout, and the message is one that I think we all need to hear: that being good at something almost always takes practice, practice, practice.
Plus, isn't it nice to see a ninja girl?
Learn more about Sanae Ishida, a Seattle artist and author, at her page. I learned, for instance, that her name is pronounced Sun-eye, so now I know, and she has a new book out for grown-ups that also looks fabuloso called Sewing Happiness: A Year of Simple Projects for Living Well. (Doesn't that sound like fun?!) Visit Sasquatch Books, the publisher of Little Kunoichi, here.

Tape Application Guide - Adhesive Systems
It is very important that the surface the tape is being adhered to is free from all contamination such as dirt, dust, grease, and oil. A combination of 50/50 alcohol and water solution is usually adequate for removing most contamination. The wiper/cloth should be changed frequently (white cloth recommended). Heavy accumulation may require more aggressive cleaning techniques.
Temperature is a critical factor in adhesive bonding that is often over-looked. All Incom tape products are intended for application in temperatures of not less than 50 ̊F (10 ̊C) and not more than listed on their data sheets. In general the closer to room temperature the better the bonding.
Tape products should be smoothed down with 15 psi of pressure or more. This will aid in adhesive “wet out” and result in better bonding.
After application the tape bond will continue to grow with the surface. The ambient temperature will affect this bonding time (the colder the slower), but as a general rule good bonding will not be fully achieved for 24-48 hours after the application. Full bond strength will be reached at 72 hours (70 ̊F).
Some very difficult surfaces may require the use of adhesion promoters to aid in proper bonding. This would be true for low surface energy materials and very porous surfaces. Promoters should be applied per manufacturer’s instructions and must be allowed to fully dry prior to tape application. For porous concrete surfaces you may want to try a Dap® Weldwood® type product for aiding in bonding. Refer to manufacturer’s instructions and SDS sheet for proper handling.
As with most products it is highly recommended that you test a small sample of product in its intended use prior to complete installation. Some applications prove to be more difficult and require additional steps to achieve the desired results.
If you would like assistance or product recommendations, please feel free to contact Incom at email@example.com

dating beautiful asia singles - Dating the timing is not right
With that said, it can be pretty frustrating when you meet someone with potential but doesn’t have the maturity to handle the type of relationship you’re after. Another tick that makes your relationship clock tock is the timing of your life goals.If you’ve set goals for yourself that you want to achieve and reach before settling down, it’s important to be aware of that, and remember how important they are to you.For instance, you may be seeing a ton of your friends getting married and having kids, and since you want the same things, you think you’re ready for those things too. Are you emotionally ready to deal with the problems that might come up?
In fact, it's important to be motivated, passionate, and financially independent before you get into a committed relationship.
I ghosted the perfect guy for me who had done wrong. Now, four years later, as I'm sober and clean, this guy would be great for me. There's nothing wrong with your career being number one in your life.
So if you’ve never actually thought about dating because you’ve always had to work and provide for yourself, or maybe take care of your family, or had a lot more downs in life than ups, it’s okay to put relationships and dating on the back burner.
Only when you are finally ready to date and put yourself out there will you start figuring out what you want when it comes to relationships. Figuring out the difference between love and infatuation is extremely important when it comes to relationships, and it is also influenced by timing.
If you’ve never experienced the bad things when it comes to relationships, then how would you be able to know when the good things happen? We all have those moments when we look back at different people we’ve dated, and think about how one ex was actually a great choice for settling down…
Too bad you hadn’t had enough experience to know any better. Our circumstances define us in some way, but just because you might have a negative experience, doesn’t mean you should let that one event define you.
When good things happen, we say things like “it’s our time,” and when bad things happen, we write it off as not being our time.
But the one thing the good and bad have in common is timing. Our relationships operate on its own clock, with its own hours, and we all have to go through each hour at least once in our life for our relationship clock to set the right time.
This one’s a little pragmatic, but we must all admit that our careers also play a part in our dating life as well.Tags: Adult Dating, affair dating, sex dating

Another Australian is making a name for themselves in the US, this time former Neighbours actress Sianoa Smit-McPhee (pictured, far left)
Smit-McPhee, who played ‘Bree Timmins’ now has a role as a twin sister in the HBO series, Hung. She plays the daughter of the lead character, the well-endowed Ray (Thomas Jane). The cast includes Anne Heche and Jane Adams.
Her character ‘Darby’ is in the throes of young love and experiencing heartbreak with her on-again, off-again boyfriend Hammer.
Darby’ and twin brother ‘Damon’ would ideally rather live with their father than their mother and her new husband.But the series is principally about Ray, a struggling suburban Detroit high school basketball coach who resorts to prostitution.
Smit-McPhee has also appeared in As the Bell Rings and Blue Heelers.
Last week the cast stepped out for the premiere of their cable drama.

Franz Liszt by Alan Walker
Book DescriptionThe third volume in Alan Walker's magisterial biography of Franz Liszt. "You can't help but keep turning the pages, wondering how it will all turn out: and Walker's accumulated readings of Liszt's music have to be taken seriously indeed."-D. Kern Holoman, New York Review of Books "A conscientious scholar passionate about his subject. Mr. Walker makes the man and his age come to life. These three volumes will be the definitive work to which all subsequent Liszt biographies will aspire."-Harold C. Schonberg, Wall Street Journal "What distinguishes Walker from Liszt's dozens of earlier biographers is that he is equally strong on the music and the life. A formidable musicologist with a lively polemical style, he discusses the composer's works with greater understanding and clarity than any previous biographer. And whereas many have recycled the same erroneous, often damaging information, Walker has relied on his own prodigious, globe-trotting research, a project spanning twenty-five years. The result is a textured portrait of Liszt and his times without rival."-Elliot Ravetz, Time "The prose is so lively that the reader is often swept along by the narrative...This three-part work ...is now the definitive work on Liszt in English and belongs in all music collections.

The Chicago Bears have added a name o their training camp roster. A day after they opened camp Chicago has traded a seventh round draft pick to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in exchange for defensive tackle Brian Price.
Price was a second round draft pick out of UCLA for the Bucs in 2010, a year in which they doubled up on defensive lineman (selecting Gerald McCoy third overall).
He's recorded just a total of 27 tackles but he's been hobbled by injuries in his two years with Tampa Bay and will join a Bears defensive line that needs pass rush.
Price recently went through great personal loss when his older sister Bridget Price was killed in a car crash back in May.
The injury woes shouldn't continue to be a problem and under Lovie Smith's defensive system, Price should flourish more so than he did in Tampa. He merely shoed potential in Tampa but was bogged down in Raheem Morris' garbled and confusing system.
It's not the first time the Bucs have dump...
BEST OF MAXIM
Former Rutgers player Eric LeGrand, who was paralyzed in 2010 but signed by the Bucs, retired so the team wouldn't be short a roster spot entering camp.
Eric LeGrand signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in early May knowing he could never play a down. Instead, his presence on the roster the past three months has signified the power of the human spirit.
His upbeat presence around One Buc Place has underscored LeGrands determination to achieve a dream following the 2010 football injury that left the then-defensive tackle for Rutgers...
Only one day into training camp and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have a man down. Not a good way to start things off.

For the 2007 No. 1 pick of the Houston Texans, the uncomfortable weather was nothing new.
It was hot, but I dont think its hotter than or more humid than Houston, Okoye said. Four years out there definitely...
Rookie Doug Martin has opened training camp with the Buccaneers as the No. 1 running back, according to Stephen Holder of the Tampa Bay Times.
Martin has always been expected to beat out the disappointing LeGarrette Blount for the starting job, and remains on the right path in doing so. His bruising running style will be a great fit for head coach Greg Schianos offense...
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have traded defensive tackle Brian Price to the Chicago Bears for a draft pick next year.
Price was a second-round pick (35th overall) out of UCLA by Tampa Bay in 2010. The 6-1, 303-pound Price has started 14 games over two seasons, with 27 tackles (23 solo) and three sacks.
The deal was announced Thursday, and details of the 2013 draft pick were not disclosed...
Trade for Buccaneers: Brian Price was a 2nd round pick in the 2010 NFL Draft, but I still love this trade for them. Price played horribly last season, ranking 83rd at his position out of 89 on ProFootballFocus.

He was also having discipline problems. He’s...

Closure rate among MSMEs rises to 32 pc from 24 pc in October: Report
Small and medium businesses in India and Pakistan reported higher rates of closure, according to a new Facebook global report revealed on Thursday.
The Global State of Small Business Report stated that the closure rates rose in February (when the survey was conducted) to 32 percent as compared to 24 percent in October. The closure rates peaked in May 2020, when the number reached 46 percent in India.
The year 2020 has been tumultuous for the Indian MSME sector, which took a massive beating during the COVID-19 pandemic, with numerous surveys showing that the disruptions impacted earnings by 20-50 percent.
Commenting on the launch of this report, Sheryl Sandberg, Chief Operating Officer of Facebook, said, "Small businesses around the world have struggled since the start of the pandemic more than a year ago. While the roll-out of vaccines gives a reason to be hopeful, our latest Global State of Small Business Report is a timely reminder that many are still vulnerable and need support."
Sheryl had said that COVID-19 is not just a public health emergency but also an economic crisis that is "hitting small and medium-sized businesses exceptionally hard" in a statement last year.
The report also highlighted that about 45 percent of the MSMEs in India reported a decrease in employment. Additionally, 42 percent of the Indian SMBs reported they had rehired former employees in the last three months.
More than 35,000 small business leaders across 27 countries and territories were surveyed as part of this project in February.
More than 200 million businesses across the world use Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, or WhatsApp every month to sell their products and directly connect with their customers. Moreover, Facebook also launched Facebook Shops, a platform to make selling easier online recently. Another initiative by the tech giant- Business Resource Hub- helps small business owners get information, training and advice on various aspects.
