If I was to uninvent something I would consider,DDT, and other abused chemicals used harshly on the environment.
DDT, or dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, is a synthetic insecticide that was widely used during the mid-20th century for controlling pests in agriculture and for combating disease vectors like mosquitoes. Initially praised for its effectiveness, DDT began to raise environmental and health concerns as its accumulation led to ecological damage and adverse effects on wildlife, particularly birds, contributing to population declines. The publication of Rachel Carson’s book Silent Spring in 1962 highlighted these issues, fostering public awareness and concern. Consequently, many countries imposed bans or restrictions on DDT in the 1970s and 1980s, leading to a significant reduction in its use. However, some regions still allow its use for malaria control, underscoring a complex debate between public health needs and environmental safety.
This historic building in downtown Marathon, the corner of Quilchena avenue and Vought Street, is iconic to the culture and presence of people of Nicola valley?.
A Cowgirl at a cultural event in Merritt, The Coldwater hotel going back to the beginning of the last century has had a dynamic effect on the culture.
One industry for many years was ranching and has also been passed down from generation to generation and from gender to gender.
Celebrated many times in era hotels such as the Coldwater and the Adelphia. With others joining The fray when a mixed economy bought more virtue to the city.

Archetypes
Betty White:
Betty White, often referred to as the “First Lady of Television,” enjoyed a trailblazing career that spanned over eight decades. Born on January 17, 1922, in Oak Park, Illinois, she was a pioneer who broke barriers as one of the first women to exert creative control both in front of and behind the camera, notably co-founding her own production company and producing the sitcom Life with Elizabeth in the early 1950s. While she was a fixture on game shows like Password—where she met her beloved third husband, Allen Ludden—she became a household name through her iconic television roles. These included the devious “Happy Homemaker” Sue Ann Nivens on The Mary Tyler Moore Show and the delightfully naive Rose Nylund on The Golden Girls.Even as she entered her later years, White’s career saw a massive resurgence, characterized by her role in Hot in Cleveland and a legendary 2010 hosting turn on Saturday Night Live following a viral fan campaign. Throughout her life, she earned eight Emmy Awards, a Grammy, and three Screen Actors Guild Awards, all while remaining a tireless advocate for animal welfare. Betty White passed away peacefully on December 31, 2021, at the age of 99, just seventeen days shy of her 100th birthday. Her death sparked a global outpouring of affection, cementing her legacy as a master of comedic timing and a symbol of kindness and resilience in the entertainment industry.

Al Capone
Alphonse Gabriel Capone, better known as “Scarface,” was born on January 17, 1899, in Brooklyn, New York, to Italian immigrant parents. A quintessential figure of the Prohibition era, Capone rose from a teenage street gang member in New York to become the boss of the Chicago Outfit by the age of 26. He is most famous for his immense “accomplishments” in the criminal underworld, where he built a multi-million dollar empire through bootlegging, gambling, and racketeering. Despite his reputation for extreme violence—most notably evidenced by the 1929 St. Valentine’s Day Massacre—Capone carefully cultivated a public image as a “modern-day Robin Hood,” famously opening some of the first soup kitchens in Chicago during the Great Depression.His reign as the king of Chicago crime effectively ended in 1931 when he was convicted of tax evasion and sentenced to 11 years in federal prison, eventually serving time in the notorious Alcatraz. During his incarceration, his health declined rapidly due to neurosyphilis, which caused significant mental and physical deterioration. After being released early on medical grounds in 1939, Capone spent his final years in seclusion at his mansion in Palm Island, Florida. He passed away on January 25, 1947, at the age of 48, following a stroke and a subsequent bout of bronchial pneumonia, leaving behind a legacy that continues to define the American gangster archetype in popular culture.
Would you like me to create a timeline of his most famous legal battles or compare his criminal empire to other mob bosses of that era? Ai
An archetype is a template and a pattern to describe a reoccurring personality.

BC mission to India
Trade can:
“improve relations” with countries”
So,The British Columbia government is having trade missions with India. The premier is expecting to improve conditions and to distance himself from supply lines and links that are tenuous at this point.
So,should the logic include existing trading partners.
Like most things in in national international relations, there is no magic bullet. This includes all the various interests that elect themselves representative government, sometimes it’s a dog’s breakfast when it comes to whose toes are stepping on whose toes.
Playing both ends against the middle is usually a fool’s game. Good relationships. Well established with eyes wide open and a view to continuity is as precious as gold.
Interest based trading a charm, greed and averist an alarm .
Good luck
In 2026, the landscape of international trade has shifted toward a high-stakes blend of digital fluency, geopolitical agility, and traditional logistics. Success in this field requires more than just knowing how to move goods; it requires navigating a world of “service-unbundling” and AI-integrated supply chains.The following are the top skills for international trade professionals today, categorized by their impact on the global value chain.1. Adaptive Thinking & Geopolitical AgilityGlobal trade in 2026 is defined by volatility—fluctuating tariffs, shifting trade blocs, and “de-risking” strategies.
* Risk Mitigation:
The ability to analyze situational risks (political, economic, and climate-related) and create
“Plan B” sourcing routes. *
Regulatory Intelligence: Staying ahead of fast-changing customs regulations, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) disclosure requirements, and new digital trade agreements.
* Scenario Planning:
Using data to forecast how potential trade disputes might affect profit margins.
2. Digital Fluency & AI Integration
Digital literacy is no longer an “extra”—it is the baseline. * Industrial AI Mastery: Moving beyond simple automation to using AI for predictive disruption—predicting port delays or optimizing inventory flows in real-time.
* Data Interpretation:
Being able to read and act on complex dashboards (ERP, PLM, and data visualization tools) to make split-second decisions.
* Digital Trade Documentation:
Proficiency with blockchain-based ledgers and digital “e-bills of lading” that are replacing paper-heavy traditional processes.
3. Cross-Cultural Intelligence
(CQ)With global teams and diverse supply chains, “soft” skills are often the hardest to master.
* Negotiation Nuance:
Understanding that a “yes” in one culture might mean “I hear you” while in another it means “I agree.” * Emotional Intelligence (EQ): The resilience to handle high-pressure setbacks (like a seized shipment or a failed deal) with composure. *
- Hyper-Localization:
Adapting marketing and product strategies to fit specific cultural norms rather than using a one-size-fits-all global approach.4. Technical Trade & Logistics ExpertiseThe “nuts and bolts” of trade remain essential, but they have become more technical.
* Incoterms® 2020 Mastery:
Deep knowledge of the “International Commercial Terms” that define who pays for what and who bears the risk during transit.
* Trade Finance & Currency Management: ????

The Merritt Centennials
There is High-Level Junior hockey in Merritt BC tonight. The Kootenay International Junior hockey League is playing at the Nicola valley memorial arena.
First period over
Spokane leading Merritt 2 to 1 after 1 period of of play..
Living up to international handle, Spokane.
Junior B League is called an international league because it plays with American team. Spokane has Long links to the Kootenays in South BC.
Update
345 fans watched Merritt win this game 3 to 2 in overtime final score. Thank you Spokane for all that you gave making it a good game.
Things always worked out in the cartoons. The way that we play was so simple. The way that we work was a little more complex. The way that the world goes is terrible. So why not take in a cartoon every once in a while even if you’re over 50 years?
