Charm

Charm is the ability to attract or please others through one’s personality, charisma, or appeal. It can be used to establish rapport, win people over, and create positive social interactions. However, when used deceitfully or manipulatively, charm can be considered insincere or even manipulative. It’s important to use charm responsibly and authentically, ensuring that it is used to create genuine connections and positive influence.

Bees be bold

Dr Penilope

A bee’s life is a fascinating journey filled with purpose and cooperation. From the moment a bee emerges from its cell as an adult, it dedicates its life to the well-being of the hive. Worker bees tirelessly forage for nectar and pollen, contributing to both the sustenance of the colony and the pollination of countless plants. The intricate waggle dance allows them to communicate the location of food sources to their fellow workers. Meanwhile, the queen bee plays a crucial role as the matriarch of the hive, laying eggs and ensuring the continuity of the colony. Together, these small yet mighty insects exemplify the power of community and industriousness in the natural world.

Friends isn’t enough

The “Rite of Spring” is a ballet and orchestral concert work by the Russian composer Igor Stravinsky. It was written for the 1913 Paris season of Sergei Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes company, and its premiere provoked one of the most famous classical music riots in history. The work is noted for its innovative and unconventional composition, as well as its powerful and dynamic music. If you’re interested in learning more about this work or its impact on music and culture, feel free to let me know!

Presipitation

A lot of good old fashion moisture from above.

The weather guy says rain through Wednesday for parts of BC. As well the snow has not let up on us Canuks in the east.

In Canada, March typically marks the transition from winter to spring. The popular phrase “March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb” is often used to describe this transition, suggesting that the month starts with harsh, winter-like conditions and ends with milder, spring-like weather. This is not specific to Canada alone, but a common theme in many regions with distinct seasonal changes.

Relax

Taking a warm bath can be a great way to relax and unwind. The soothing warmth of the water can help to relieve muscle tension and promote relaxation. Adding calming essential oils like lavender or chamomile can enhance the experience. Remember to never leave a person unattended in a bath and always test the water temperature to ensure it’s comfortable and safe.

If you want to enhance your relaxation experience, consider adding some calming music or sounds. Here’s a relaxing short video you might enjoy:.

Wildlife suffering, leg hold traps…

There is suffering by many animals that are attractive to the fur industry. The loss of habitat is as cruel but usually with less drama look at the video in the below photo shared with us by former CBC writer Mark Rennie Forsyth. It is less drama then seeing the results when an animal ches his foot off to escape this crule bite.

Cruel fate averted

The use of leg-hold traps on fur-bearing animals has been a subject of significant controversy and ethical concern. These traps are designed to capture animals by gripping their legs, leading to injury, pain, and distress. The suffering caused by such traps has sparked debates around the world, leading to increased scrutiny and calls for more humane alternatives.

Many organizations and individuals advocate for the prohibition or strict regulation of leg-hold traps, emphasizing the need to prioritize animal welfare and minimize unnecessary suffering in the fur industry. Efforts to raise awareness about the impact of these traps and promote ethical treatment of animals continue to be essential in addressing this issue.

It is important to explore and support sustainable and ethical alternatives to fur production, ensuring the well-being of animals and the preservation of natural habitats. The ongoing dialogue about the use of leg-hold traps reflects the broader ethical considerations surrounding human interaction with wildlife and the environment.

Salmon

Salmon in the Nicola river, finished its natural life cycle.. Photo KDG

Thursday March 21st 2024, NVIT lecture theater, top of the Hill Belshaw avenue

A presentation from local ecologist at the Nicola Valley institute of technology, 7:00 p.m. in the lecture theater, free parking, no refreshments in the lecture theater. There is a raffle to support a college student bursary sponsored by NNS ( Nicola naturalist Society).

Salmon undergo an incredible life cycle, starting and ending in freshwater. After hatching from eggs in gravel river beds, young salmon spend several months to a few years in their natal streams before journeying to the ocean. In the ocean, they grow and mature over a period of one to several years, before returning to their original freshwater spawning grounds to reproduce and complete the cycle. This remarkable journey is not without challenges, as salmon must navigate through various predators and obstacles both in freshwater and the open ocean. Once they spawn and die, their bodies provide essential nutrients to the ecosystem. This cycle of life and death plays a crucial role in maintaining the balance of the natural world. Ai and Editor

Pests not pesticde

To prevent household pests without relying on pesticides, you can take several preventive measures:

  1. Seal Entry Points: Inspect your home for any cracks, gaps, or openings that pests could use to enter, then seal them with caulk or steel wool.
  2. Proper Food Storage: Store food in airtight containers and promptly clean up any spills or crumbs to avoid attracting pests.
  3. Remove Standing Water: Eliminate any sources of standing water in and around your home, as they can attract pests like mosquitoes.
  4. Regular Cleaning: Keep your home clean and clutter-free to reduce hiding spots for pests and minimize potential nesting areas.
  5. Maintain Outdoor Area: Trim vegetation and keep a clear space between the exterior of your home and any landscaping to reduce the likelihood of pests finding their way inside.
  6. Natural Repellents: Consider using natural repellents such as cedarwood, mint, or essential oils to deter pests.

By implementing these measures, you can help prevent household pests without resorting to pesticides.
