I'm thinking about running away but I don't know if I have a reason to. My mom and dad call me names and emotionally abuse me and sometimes physical but they blame it on me. All I do is clean and babysit for them. I hurt my self all the time and cry myself to sleep bc I feel like they don't care and I feel like I don't belong where I am. Is that a good enough reason to run away?Last edited by ccsmod4; 02-12-2020, 07:44 AM.
Thanks for contacting the National Runaway Safeline.
We appreciate you sharing with us what's going on.
Some situations can be disappointing and even upsetting thus making things uncertain about what to do or where to turn. It can be tough trying to sort out your own feelings let alone trying to carry the burden of others. You don't deserve to be abused by anyone. It's not your fault that they are doing this and causing you to feel so bad emotionally. Hurting yourself does not have to be an option. There are other ways of coping that you might try. Sometimes talking with someone that is supportive can be gratifying. You have a right to be upset. This sounds like it has been very frustrating for you. Running away could present another set of problems and it does not help if you are leaving one bad situation for another.
We understand your reasoning for wanting to go and it's good that you are reaching out. We want you to know that we are here as support to help you through this difficult time.
NRS is here to listen and here to help.
If you would like to talk more about your situation and explore some options, work on a plan for help, please call or chat soon.
We can best help by phone or chat as NRS is unable to respond more than twice by email or bulletin for assistance.

Hi there,
Thank you for writing to us here at National Runaway Safeline (NRS). We understand it takes great courage to reach out, and we appreciate you sharing a little bit about what's going on. It seems there is a lot that you are faced with right now and you're feeling like leaving is one of your only options. It seems you want to know some information on runaway laws.
While we are not experts on the law, 18 is generally the age that an individual may leave home without parent permission. If you are under 18 and leave home, your parent/guardian may file you as a runaway and you may be returned home. Also, those you stay with may run the risk of being charged with harboring a runaway. For more specifics on the law, the local non-emergency police or legal aid may better answer legal questions.
We are here as support to help through this challenging time. We can best help by phone or chat. If you would like to talk more in detail please call or chat soon.

hi i want to run away because i am always doing the wrong thing and am always getting in trouble for it I think it would be best for my faimly and me if i run away
Hey there,
Thank you for reaching out to the National Runaway Safeline. We know it is hard to seek help and you are really brave in reaching out. I'm sorry to hear that things are tough at home and it has been making you feel like running away. It must be frustrating getting in trouble for doing the wrong things when you do not intend to do the wrong thing.
Now we are not legal experts but if you were to run away, there could be consequences to doing so. It is not illegal to runaway but rather it is seen as a status offense. What that means is that it is only something youth cannot do because they are a minor; for youth over 18, it is no longer called running away. Your parents or legal guardian do have every right to file a runaway report to the police, if you are a minor. What that would look like would be that the state would be notified that there is a report for a youth, and may or may not actively search for you, but if they find you, there is a possibility they may detain you until your parents/legal guardian is able to pick you up or they would take you straight home. If you ran away to a friend or relative, it could be seen as harboring a runaway. Most states have laws against harboring runaways and so there can be a possibility that any person who lets a runaway stay in their home, could face legal charges/charged with a misdemeanour.
If you want to talk more in depth about what is going on, do not hesitate to reach out and give us a call at 1-800-786-2929 or send us a live chat at www.1800runaway.org. We are 24/7 and completely confidential. We are here for you and we are here to listen.
Best of Luck,
Hi am 15 I will be 16 in April, I want to run away
It has been on my mind for a couple of months I have run away a couple of times before and all they do is take me back to my mom's house. she verbally abuses me, anything we take about we fight over who right or want really happens. she thinks she knows how my life at school and other place goes when she not even around she thing she knows what I think, she always calls me a bad names and I think the only thing she sees in me is bad she never sees the good, she makes me feel like sh**, it hurts a lot to see that u can take your time to think about how bad u can verbal hurt your son. my dad work as a police officer he never home and when he is home we get into a fight over everything, he hates my guts I don't have money but I can get food I have clothes I can pack. I just want to get as far as I can because I don't want to be living in my mom's house anymore. there been a lot of time I have taken off and they just blow all of it over and take me back home I had a family member help me and they are in trouble for help run. there someone that could help me but I don't want to get anyone in trouble and I don't want to hurt anyone so I'm really on my own. when there a problem she thinks she fixing it but she just going around the problem and when we fix and don't fight a little bit she gives me stuff then stop and then I get mad and ask questions and we fight again and then I lose everything I don't like getting thing because then she can use it as an excuse to yell at me for her getting for me. I plan on leave tonight
my mom is taking me out of the highschool I finally felt happy in and she's taking me out against my will and the only reason shes doing this is because i had a boyfriend and she has emotionally abused me almost my whole life and beat me anytime i talked to a boy, i just wanna leave this place and never come back
Thanks for contacting NRS and we appreciate you sharing a little bit about what's going on. We want you to know that we are here as support to help you with figuring out your next steps in this difficult situation. Asking for help was really responsible and smart of you. We are sorry to hear things are so unstable at home. You deserve to live somewhere that makes you feel safe and supported.
From what you shared, it sounds like your mom has a pattern of isolating you from your support systems and this must be incredibly frustrating. It is understandable you would want to leave to get away from her negative impact. Emotional abuse does get overwhelming and it can be tough to cope with on your own. Abuse of any kind is never okay and not your fault.
If you do decide to leave home, we want you to be aware of what might take place. Generally speaking, your parents are your legal guardians until you turn 18, so they can decide where you live. If you do choose to leave without permission, your parents can report you as a runaway to the police. Running away is not illegal, but it is a status offense. This means that if your parents know where you are staying then they can have the police return you home.
Child Help is an organization that advocates for young people in abusive and unhealthy situations. You can contact them at 1-800-422-4453 or go to childhelphotline.org to talk more about strategies for coping with the emotional abuse at home and options for having a trusted adult intervene to help. They can also be another resource to add to your support system while you navigate this challenging time.
We truly want to be a support for you as you decide on your next steps. We are available 24/7 to listen and help as much as possible. Please do not hesitate to reach out again by phone or chat if you would like to talk more in-depth about your situation and explore your options. You can contact us by phone at 1-800-786-2929 or use our live chat services at www.1800runaway.org.
We wish you the best,
Hi I'm 13 my reason is pretty different from all of yours. It's really pathetic but I really just want to find a new life. I've never had a great relationship with my dad and my mom just doesn't listen to me. Also she just had my baby brother, I mean I love him but it just makes her not listen to me even more and my dad has been forcing me to spend time with him more but when i do he just watches tv or just doesn't want to do it. He's also had a short temper since I was a kid which makes me pretty scared of him.
I already have a plan and everything but it would still be nice to have some guidance.

Hi, thank you for your response. I'm actually a cutter, for almost 2 years now and my mom found out. She's found out before and she thought I stopped but I couldn't. Everything I have said previously is true but I do love my mom and I really do feel like a burden to everyone. I'm not very smart or pretty and I have no idea what I want to do with my life. My moms actually went back to school and pulse my brother that cost a lot of money. She saves college money for me and I keep telling her to use it because it's a wast to spend it on me but whenever I say that she just gets mad.
We unfortunately cannot respond more than twice on our forum. We are glad that you reached out again though! Your situation sounds very difficult. You make mention of cutting and we take that very seriously. You can reach out to NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness). They can provide support for you and provide resources for you as well!

CAn i run away where do i go my parents would call the police in anger.
Hi there, thanks for reaching out today. Sounds like you are needing somewhere to go if you run away. Here at NRS, we can look to see if there are any youth shelters in your area if you call or chat us. If you haven't already, you might ask your extended family and support system if there is anywhere you can safely stay.
Since you are are wanting to run, we want you know about what that could look like for you legally. We are not legal experts here but we can speak in general terms. If you are under 18 and leave home without permission, your parent/guardian may file a runaway report with the police. What actions the police take once you are filed as a runaway can vary a lot from state to state and even city to city so we cannot predict exactly what would happen in your case. Generally speaking, if you encounter a police officer while reported as a runaway, you will likely be returned home. However, in that case there may be services (family counseling, etc.) available to you as a youth in crisis/runaway but again, police procedures related to offering those services can be different based on your location or the details of your situation. Another thing to consider is that while running away is not a crime, a legal adult who allows you to stay with them may be putting themselves at risk for being charged with harboring a runaway. One way to find out the laws in your area is to call your local police and ask what their policies are regarding runaway youth.
Please do not hesitate to call or chat if you have questions, need resources, or need to talk. We can explore your situation, go over all your options, and come up with a plan and resources to deal with your situation over the phone or on live chat. We are looking forward to hearing from you soon, and wish you the best of luck. 1-800-RUNAWAY; www.1800runaway.org.
I'm George and I'm 12 years old. I don't know if my life is as hard as I say it to be but I think it is. Every day is a constant battle with my family. I have an annoying little brother that hits me constantly, and I'm not even joking when I say, he's bitten me so hard that I bleed out. Then there's my sister, she's the most two-faced ********** that I've ever seen. Like, she will be there for me and then she gets me to tell her all my ********, and then when shes mad at me, she uses it as blackmail. And the worst of all, my mom. She mentally abuses me like crazy, last night I was practicing for a performance for my choir and she said that I will never make it and I should just stop. and that's not even the worst, one time I was really upset because of my weight and instead of cheering me up like a good mom, she told me that I'm fat and should just deal with it. and some times it even gets physical, like there was this one time where my sister pushed me to the floor to get into the bathroom just to brush her teeth and locked me out(my mom doesn't let us lock doors)and so I'm standing outside telling her to unlock the door and my mom pulls my hair and throughs me on my bed. Then when I go into the living room, My mom is telling my grandma that everyone would be happier if I left with her to Florida, and I say whatever under my breath and she gets mad and tries to slap me but I block it. I don't know, I just think I would be better off on my own or with someone else. I have packed a bag before but was too scared to leave. I just don't want to leave and not have anywhere to go. please help
Hello There,
Thank you for reaching out to The National Runaway Safeline, we are here to help and here to listen. It sounds like you are going through a really difficult time right now.
You do not deserve to be abused by any one and we are sorry you are dealing with all of this right now. You have every right to make an abuse report and there are a few ways you can go about making an abuse report. One option to consider is calling Child Help at: 1800-422-4453. Another option to consider is talking with your school counselor about what has been going on at home. They will be able to help make a report and also provide resources. Another option to consider is calling us and we can help you in making an abuse report.
We know you mentioned running away, we are not legal experts but we do have some information on the laws. If you were to run away your legal guardian does have the right to file a runaway report. If the police were to find you they most likely would bring you back home. You could see about staying with a friend or family member.
We hope that this information will be helpful to you in your situation. If you have any more questions or would like to explore your options please give us a call. We are here 24/7 to listen and to provide support. Best of luck!
Hi, I'm 16 and I don't have a 100% idea of whether to run away or not. I've wanted to leave since I was 10, but I never found a solid reason as to why I want to leave. My mom and dad are always arguing with me, they favorite my brothers, they always find an excuse to yell at me, and they usually think that buying me things will make me happy, but instead it makes me feel angry. If my grades drop to a B, they yell at me and tell me to go study because "I'm a failure" and they always compare me to my cousins who always have straight As. A lot of people I've always reached out for help passed away, and I believe that is where my anger began. My best friend from all of elementary died of a stroke at 11 years old, and I could no longer depend on him. I went to my grandmother who soon passed away, and so did a lot of the following people I have depended on. My grades are slipping lower to Bs and Cs and it's because school is getting more frustrating, and I'm sure you can imagine how my parents reacted to that. I've had several overdose attempts in the past and the time gap in between each one is getting smaller and smaller. I have no valuable excuse as to why I want to run away since I'm not sure whether I'm happy where I am or not. My friends at school have even said that I look worse from how I was in the past. They said I look pale/yellowish, sleep-deprived, I'm always sleeping instead of hanging out with them during our breaks, and they asked why I lost so much weight (December 2019: 142 lbs; February 2020: 124 lbs). I honestly have no idea as to why this is occurring, and I wanted to ask for advice on this before I fully decide on what to di, whether it be to run away from home, or try better at school, to talk to someone, etc.
Hey there, thank you so much for reaching out to us here at NRS. We appreciate your openness with the situations in your life and how vulnerable you have been. Reaching out is a first good step as you have some questions about running away. We are going to talk about a few things here but don't hesitate to reach back out to us here. Our phone lines at 1-800-RUNAWAY and our chat lines at 1800runaway.org are here 24/7 for you.
First we want to give our condolences for the losses of your best friend and your grandmother. We understand that must have been difficult to lose someone close to you as well as a support system. From what you shared it seems a lot of difficulties at home have been centered around your parents and how they treat you. Having grades shift throughout the school year can be frustrating and being yelled at for those changes doesn't seem to be the most uplifting action from your parents. Have you thought about talking to someone within the school about your grades and how to involve your parents in a more positive discussion? That can be an option to think about bringing up with someone you trust like a teacher or school counselor. They may be able to talk with you and your parents in a collaboration about how to best address school grades and bring up how your parents have been yelling at you if you are comfortable. You can also think about this option with other people like a friend, family member, or trusted adult. This can help bring a mediator to the topic of grades, but also help bring in a different perspective about how they have been treating you and how that has been affecting you, not only about grades too.
We are also here as an option too. We do have a conference call service where if you feel comfortable and are able to call us, we can help facilitate a call between you, your parents, and ourselves to talk about what you want to help bring compromise and listening to all sides. We know this may be uncomfortable but we are always here to discuss the option if you want, even if you and your parents are in the same house this is always an option too.
If you are feeling your health is something that is declining, you can also think about reaching out to a health professional like a school nurse or your primary care doctor to talk. This could a step to talk about the concerns you have about your health and maybe a school nurse could connect you to other resources if you feel your primary care doctor isn't an option. If you are feeling the stress and thoughts about overdosing are becoming overwhelming, you can speak with a trained crisis counselor through the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 or go to suicidepreventionlifeline.org. Additionally the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration can connect you with local resources as well, 1-800-662-4357; samhsa.gov.
We appreciate your honesty and bravery with reaching out to us today. We are always here for you to listen and brainstorm what you may think works best in your situation. Don't hesitate to reach back out if you want to talk further. Best of luck and stay safe!
Feelings I'm an eleven year old right now. Unlike the other stories of their experiences I have mostly been emotionally abused by my mother. My mom would yell at me for my tone in voice. For example one time I was having a rough day at school. When I came back home, my mom asked questions in which I answered. In her response she raised her voice saying I shouldn't have a bad tone. I tried explaining but she wouldn't listen and talk over me. This has occurred many times making me fragile in feelings. I have tried telling my experience but I let off. I didn't have the urge to. One of my friends has been physically abused by his dad in which I don't know. Just last week I have thought of my next occurrence. I have had many breakdowns either at school or in bed. I once had an urge to run away from home. I feel like I should stay until it's at my last string. I would like some information on helping my situation. Thanks to whoever is willing to.

Thanks for reaching out to the National Runaway Safeline.
It sounds like you are in a tough situation and may be looking for some options to help cope with everything. You do not deserve to be abused by your mother. It's not your fault that she behaves this way towards you.
We understand how difficult it must be to deal with this situation and cope with the feelings that come from it.
You are very brave for doing so. Good for you.

Take care,
I want to run away but I just cant
I feel so worthless even though I have a family that loves me but I don't feel like it. I can't sleep every night and ever since I moved into my new house things have been going so bad at home. I always feel sad and school is the only place I'm happy. I really want to run away but I'm afraid for my future since I really want to become a successful woman I'm only in 6th grade too! I feel like I'd be happy running away but I always think of the cons and can't bring myself to it. I'm afraid if I get found and my family leaves me. I always feel so left out at home ever since my nephew was born. My dad is mostly the whole reason I want to run away and I just can't take it anymore. This all might feel like such a stupid reason to run away and that there are so many other people that go through way more then me but please tell me what to do.
Hello There,
Thank you for reaching out to The National Runaway Safeline, we are here to help and here to listen. It sounds like you are going through a difficult time right now and we hope we can help.
Moving into a new home can be a huge life transition and it can be scary and frustrating and overwhelming at first. It seems like you may be going through depression, but only a mental health professional can diagnose that. One option to consider would be to speak with your school counselor or a therapist about how you are feeling. Sometimes speaking to a professional can help offer you support and resources to how you are feeling. Another option is you could contact NAMI (national alliance for mental illnesses), they can be reached at 1800-950-NAMI.
We are not legal experts but we do have some information on what could happen if you were to run away. If you were to leave home without permission your legal guardian could file a runaway report. If the police were to find you they most likely would bring you back home.
We hope that this information will be helpful to you in your situation. If you have any more questions or would like to explore more options please give us a call. We are here 24/7 to help and to provide support. Best of luck to you!

All too often, ordering and organizing office lunch catering lands on an administrative professional's plate without warning or a simple thank you. But ordering office lunch catering can be a stressfully huge job (that often grows as a business scales). We're talking daily lunches for upwards of 500 employees—that's a lot of work!
Thankfully, Foodee's in the business of lunch catering—and we have a few simple and easy-to-follow tips on how to organize office lunch catering.
11 tips: How to organize office lunch catering
1. Decide who's in charge of ordering
How much or little control do you want when it comes to ordering and organizing office lunch catering? If you're swamped and want to pass the reigns, be sure to partner with a corporate catering company like Foodee that has customizable and flexible meal plans.
For example, we can order everything for you based on your meal requirements, budget and preference, you can do all of the ordering yourself, or you can choose the team ordering option. That means that your business lunch catering attendees select a meal for themselves based on some options you (or we) provide.
2. Consider the occasion
How formal are your business lunches? How healthy should they be? Are attendees close enough that they would like to order family style and try a bit of several dishes? Should everything be laid out in the classic corporate catering fashion on a separate table with serving dishes and serving spoons? Or is this a small, tight-knit business lunch that is very casual and happens to be on a Friday? Always consider the occasion and how messy, clean, fun or formal the catering should be.
3. Consider the season
Business lunch catering in the middle of a hot summer day might look different than on a wet fall day in the office. Consider the season and what kind of food your eaters will likely be craving. Also, because Foodee only partners with local restaurants, consider what kind of local produce may be in season to elevate your lunch.
4. Establish a per person budget
Know your budget before looking into catering options. If your budget is minimal, consider going for economical meals such as boxed lunches, DIY bagel and cream cheese fixings, or sandwich platters. If you're organizing a lunch and have decided to go for the Foodee team order option, you have to set a per-person budget before they can order.
5. Choose your style of eating
Do your eaters want their own individual meals in boxes or wrapping with their names on it? Or are they open to sharing among the team? Get a feel for the occasion and vibe first and then choose individually wrapped, individually or cuisine-type labeled (ie. veggie, meat, etc.), or family style.
6. Check for allergies and preferences
If your entire group of eaters is gluten-free, vegetarian, or vegan, this will affect what you order. Try to find a restaurant and menu that has a little something for everyone. Our local food experts can help you get this information and find great restaurants that suit your team too.
7. Choose your cuisine
Get a feel for the cuisine that your team loves. If it's a Monday business lunch, you may want to go with something healthy and fresh. Perhaps something from a fresh cafe, juice bar, salad bar, poke spot, sushi restaurant, or Mediterranean restaurant might do the trick? Or, if it's a Friday afternoon business lunch catering, maybe go for something more fun and Happy Hour-related catering, such a pizza, burgers, tacos, wings, and so on.
8. Decide on a restaurant
Based on all of this information, it's time to pick your restaurant. In Foodee's online ordering system, you can easily select your cuisine, time of day, the date for ordering, and then see which local restaurants fit your bill. Pick your restaurant, budget, and send a link to a team order for your team to choose their individual meal by a certain date. Or, Foodee's experts can pick the restaurant for you based on past favourites, budget, allergies, and preferences and you just say yay or nay.
9. Place your order ahead of time
Many local, owner-operated restaurants have small kitchens and need a heads up before preparing a large business lunch catering. Always plan ahead-of-time to ensure you (and your team) gets exactly what they want when they want it.
10. Organize your space for the occasion
Get your space ready for the business lunch. If you need to set up the boardroom with pens and paper for the meeting, for example, make sure to plan that ahead-of-time. If you want a table with a tablecloth, flowers, water jug, glasses and so on set up, make sure that's all organized to save you last-minute stress and headache.
11. Choose a caterer who will set up your lunch
At Foodee, our driver-partners pick up the meals as scheduled, ensure the order is correct and has all of the necessary sauces, labels, cutlery, napkins and so on, drive them to your office, and set it all up for you. For us, excellent service—from the simplicity of ordering to the expert delivery and catering setup—is what sets us apart.

This is The Easter Project movie, created a couple of years ago now, for Holy Week services at a local church, here in Walthamstow, London... My friend, Matt Perry, suggested in the January of that year that we do "a project". At the beginning of February, we came up with the idea. I wrote the narrative, painted all the original artwork, composed, performed and recorded the soundtrack, recorded the narrative and Matt put it all together into this movie over the space of five or six weeks. It was incredibly good fun, if rather insane!
Now, Matt and I are working - MUCH more sedately! - on the sequel to this: The Ouroboros Project. The Easter Project formed the basis of our 2012 Art Trail exhibition and The Ouroboros Project will form the basis of this year's installation at the beginning of June.
Meanwhile, Happy Easter to those who celebrate, Happy Ostara to those who celebrate that, and Happy Spring to absolutely everyone in the Northern Hemisphere! A time of rebirth, new birth and regeneration.
Please feel free to share this movie and use it in any Holy Week celebrations you might be holding.

- Description
Drying washing when its wet outside used to mean relying on the tumble dryer. But they're rough on delicate, hand-wash items and expensive to run. The Heated Tower Airer on the other hand ticks all the right boxes. Its heated aluminium rails dry clothes economically, gently and naturally.
It costs less than 6p an hour to run (about the same as 3x100w light bulbs) and handles a hefty 15kg of washing. In fact, it has 21m (69ft) of hanging space, yet stands on a small footprint of just 72x67cm, the same space as an armchair.
Very versatile, its three layers are ideal for flat-drying delicates and they swivel for hanging long items: dresses, trousers and towels. Mains-powered and measuring H143xW71xD69cm, it folds flat to 8cm for easy storage. 300W, 1.5m lead.

Mayor Martin to visit sister city Lima, Peru
STAMFORD — Mayor David Martin is planning a visit to Stamford's sister city of Lima, Peru next week.
It is the first time Martin has scheduled a visit to Stamford's sister city since the relationship was established in 2009 by then-Mayor Dannel P. Malloy. Since taking office, Martin has continued the city's relationship with its sister city, hosting world-renowned ceviche chef Javier Wong in January 2015 and Peruvian Congressman Carlos Bruce in July 2014, and participating in a number of local-organized cultural events.
"Stamford is proud to be home to a large and vibrant Peruvian community, which contributes so much to the diversity and vibrancy of our community," Martin said in a Tuesday news release. "The upcoming visit to Lima is an incredible opportunity to celebrate and build upon our sister city relationship and to discuss the issues and opportunities facing our cities. I am looking forward to what I know will be a wonderful visit."
City Rep. Willy Giraldo (D-4) and Martin's special assistants, Thomas Dec and Martin Levine, will also join the Stamford delegation on the trip. Dec said travel expenses will be paid personally, not with taxpayer dollars.
"This is a momentous and historic occasion for our city, that our mayor would not only be received, but invited to impart Stamford's success to one of the largest cities in South America," said Alex Martinez, president of the Peruvian American Community Center (PACC) in Stamford.
Students of a Stamford academy, Portal Norteño, performed a typical Peruvian dance after Tuesday's announcement at the Stamford Government Center.
During his visit, Martin will meet with Lima Mayor Luis Castañeda to discuss their administrations' policy initiatives. Mayor Castañeda is particularly interested in Stamford's recent public safety initiatives, according to a release from Martin's office.
Stamford's mayor will also meet with Castañeda's cabinet, President of the Peruvian Congress Ana María Solórzano, Peruvian Congressman Carlos Bruce, Mayor of San Borja Marco Antonio Alvarez Vargas, and other local dignitaries.
Martin's official trip will end next Monday. He will return to Stamford on June 30 after his vacation.

5 For Good: Needham mother starts a kindness movement
"Choose To Be Nice" is spreading in local elementary schools
"Choose To Be Nice" is spreading in local elementary schools
Needham mother Dina Creiger is the force behind what she calls a social movement to encourage kindness. Her program "Choose To Be Nice" has been embraced by dozens of elementary schools across the state.
Brockton triplets Samantha, Maxwell and Andrew Bassett said it's working at their school, Mary E. Baker elementary, where everyone has signed the "Choose To Be Nice" promise.
It reads, "I promise to help spread kindness wherever and whenever possible. And to the very best of my ability, I'll be nice to those with whom I come into contact on a daily basis."
The trio said little acts are making a difference in the overall atmosphere.
"If someone falls down I help them up," Maxwell said. Andrew added, "If someone's sitting alone at lunch, you can sit with them and have lunch and talk."
"Choose To Be Nice" was brought here by the principal, who found success with it at a previous school.
"We started to see a big change, people just being nicer to other people," said principal Valerie Brower.
That's the simple, but important goal said Creiger, who left her job in the corporate world to start a Kickstarter campaign to fund this passion.
"I worry a lot about the lack of civility in our country, it scares me to death," Creiger said.
"Choose to be Nice" starts with the promise, but also offers learning plans and activity guides tailored to kids. Age appropriate characters represent different values including kindness, acceptance, teamwork, courage and friendship.
Kimberly Gentile has incorporated the program into her classes at Baker. She explained it has extended well beyond the school's walls.
"We brainstormed ways that we could spread kindness in the hallway and at recess and in the cafeteria and at home and in the community," Gentile said.
The Bassett kids have certainly taken their pledge to be nice, to heart.
"You can't break a promise once you make it, it stays there and you won't forget about that promise you made," Samantha said.
Creiger hopes to get a million people around the world to sign the "Choose to be Nice" promise.

The Welfare Myth Essay, Research Paper
The Chocolate Dream Machine
Tracey L. Baer
Northwood University
The Chocolate Dream Machine
Advertising is a form of selling. Since 1872 there have been individuals who have tried to persuade others to buy the food they have produced, but none of course like the Chocolate they make at the Hershey Factory. But the mass production of goods resulting from the Industrial revolution in the 19th century made person-to-person selling less efficient than it previously was for most products. The mass distribution of goods that followed the development of rail and highway systems made person-to-person selling too slow and expensive for almost all companies including Hershey. At the same time, however, a growth in mass communication occurred first newspapers and magazines then radio and television that made mass selling possible. Advertising, then, is merely selling or salesmanship functioning in the paid space or time of various mass communication media. The objective of any advertisement is to convince a person that is in their best interest to take an action the advertiser is recommending. This is the case with the Hershey chocolate bar. Advertising as a business developed first and most rapidly in the United States, the country that uses it to the greatest extent.
Those that use it most are companies that must create a demand for several products among many people residing in a large area. Such as, the Hershey Bar in high compulsion for people of all age groups. Advertising makes the product so available.
So let me begin by telling you a brief history of chocolate. Everyone thinks of chocolate as a flavoring or desert spice for food.
As a food and a flavoring, chocolate is widely popular. People everywhere enjoy chocolate candies, pastries and drinks. Chocolate is made from seeds, or ?beans,? of the tropical cacao tree. The beans grow inside leathery pods that are found both on the trunk and on the branches of the tree. Workers cut the pods from the tree trunks with large heavy knives called machetes and from the branches with long-handled knives. The purple or creamy-white beans are shelled from the pod, which is about the size of a small cucumber.
At this stage, the bean has a raw bitter taste. As the first step in the long process of making appetizing chocolate, the beans are piled in bins for several days. Bacterial action causes them to take on a rich brown color and the fragrance of chocolate. After several more days, they become dry enough to prevent spoilage, and they are bagged for shipment. When they arrive at the factory, the beans are roasted in large rotating machines. This improves the flavor still more and dries the shells of the bean so they can be easily removed in the next machine, the ?cracker and fanner.? Here the beans are cracked, and fans blow away the brittle shells, leaving the nibs, or meat. The nibs are the part used for making chocolate products. The shells are saved for use in fertilizer or as feed for cattle.
About 50 percent of the nibs are made up of a fatty substance known as cocoa butter. In the next stage large grinding stones or heavy steal disks crush the nibs, creating frictional heat that melts the butter. The hard parts of the nibs are

The AER was tasked with developing requirements to reduce methane emissions from upstream oil and gas operations by 45 per cent relative to 2014 levels by 2025 as part of the Government of Alberta's Climate Leadership Plan , and as a result have released new requirements within Directive 060 and Directive 017. Emissions from fugitive sources are considered a major contributor to the oil and gas industry's overall methane emissions, and this has been addressed in the updated Directive 060 with requirements for companies to develop a stringent Fugitive Emissions Management Plan (FEMP). Below is a summary of the main measures required within the FEMP:
- Manual 016: How to Develop a Fugitive Emissions Management Program has been released as a guide for industry in quantifying and reporting methane emissions and developing FEMP plans.
- Fugitive emissions surveys must be conducted at the frequency specified in table below, determined by facility subtype code:
- Individuals conducting fugitive emission surveys must be trained to use fugitive emissions survey equipment
- Equipment used to detect or quantify fugitive emissions must be operated, serviced, and calibrated to the manufacturer's recommendations
- Sources of fugitive emissions must be eliminated within 24 hours of identification if they are causing off-lease odours, the result of a failed pilot or ignitor on a flare stack, or have the potential to cause safety
- All other sources of fugitive emissions must be addressed within 30 days unless any of the following applies:
-A major shutdown is required to complete the repair and there are no safety issues.
-The fugitive emissions, measured using US EPA Method 21, have a hydrocarbon concentration less than 10 000 ppm.
-The fugitive emissions are from surface casing vent flow or gas migration.
- The integrity of any repair needs to be confirmed within seven days of the component being brought back into service.
- The volume of fugitive emissions (m3) ,and the corresponding mass of methane emitted (kg) by facility ID must include in the annual methane emissions report required by Directive 060.
- Records have to be kept of all fugitive survey data for 4 years.
Contact Target Emission Services to help your company develop FEMP plans aimed at minimizing costs, and maximizing value associated with these requirements – firstname.lastname@example.com
If you have not had a fugitive emission survey completed at all your facilities in the last 3 months, we may be able to get funding for a one-time baseline assessment through Energy Efficiency Alberta through their Methane Emissions reduction program. As an Energy Efficiency Alberta program ally, Target can apply on your behalf to complete a comprehensive fugitive emissions assessment and equipment inventory at all your facilities and wellsites. If approved, Energy Efficiency Alberta will fund the assessment 100%.

Work by the 55-year-old director, who served as a member of the 28th TIFF jury and was the Golden Lion winner at Venice with Cyclo, will be featured in the section called Crosscut Asia #4: What's Next from Southeast Asia, which aims to showcase Asian films with a focus on specific countries, directors or themes.
The event will also screen works by other Southeast Asia filmmakers recommended by maestros in the same region, including Brillante Ma Mendoza from the Philippines, who has won awards at the Berlin, Cannes and Venice film festivals and whose work was featured in Crosscut Asia in 2015; Apichatpong Weerasethakul from Thailand, Palme d'Or winner at Cannes with Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives, and as a visual artist, a participant in many exhibitions; and Garin Nugroho from Indonesia, who has shown 12 films at TIFF and served on the jury of the 19th TIFF.
Hùng is renowned for many of his cinematic works with contemporary artistic style that have received international fame and acclaim, including Oscar-nominated The Scent of Green Papaya (1993), I Come with the Rain (2009) and The Vertical Ray of the Sun (2000).
The TIFF is being held since 1985 as one of the 12 major film festivals of the world and also the largest film festival in Asia.

The dramatic heist took place at dawn on Monday, after a fire broke out at an electrical distribution point nearby, deactivating the museum's alarm and plunging the area into darkness.
The Guardian reports that law enforcement said the stolen artifacts were worth close to one billion euros, but Dresden's State Art Collections director Marion Ackermann told the newspaper that it is impossible to price the antiquities. "We cannot give a value because it is impossible to sell," Ackermann said. "The material value doesn't reflect the historic meaning."
Despite the power cut, a surveillance camera filmed two men breaking into the Grünes Gewölbe (Green Vault) at Dresden's Royal Palace.
Volker Lange, the head of Dresden police, said the thieves smashed a window and cut through a fence before approaching and breaking open a display cabinet in the Grünes Gewölbe's Jewel Room in "a targeted manner".
Officers were at the scene within minutes of being alerted to the robbery shortly before 5am local time, but the suspects had escaped. A burning car found in Dresden early on Monday may have been the getaway vehicle, police said. They have set up roadblocks on motorway approach roads around the city in an attempt to prevent the suspects from leaving. But the close proximity of the gallery to the autobahn is likely to have helped the thieves' speedy escape, police said.
Created by Augustus the Strong, the Elector of Saxony, in 1723, the Grünes Gewölbe is one of 12 museums which make up the famous Dresden state art collections. It got its name because some rooms were decorated with malachite-green paint.
One of the oldest museums in Europe, the Grünes Gewölbe holds treasures including a 63.8cm figure of a Moor studded with emeralds and a 547.71-carat sapphire gifted by Tsar Peter I of Russia.

"Beshte and the Hippo Lanes" is the twenty-fifth episode of Season 1 of The Lion Guard. It aired on March 17, 2017.
Official synopsis
"When Beshte's dad is injured while creating hippo lanes, Beshte must step in and take over the job."[1]
Plot summary
After a big rainstorm, Basi and his son Beshte forge across the Flood Plains, creating paths called "hippo lanes." Basi explains to his son how it is a tradition for hippos to clear the way after a storm, since it is easy for animals to get lost trying to cross the Flood Plains. He comments that a hippo lane should be "straight and true," and tells Beshte that it will one day be his job to make hippo lanes through the Flood Plains.
Just then, Basi and Beshte hear a young rhino crying for help. They arrive in time to rescue him from Makuu and his float, whom they chastise for not honoring the rule that no animal is to be attacked while trying to cross the Flood Plains after a rainstorm. Makuu relents, but insults hippos for always following the rules.
With Makuu gone, Basi and Beshte work to free the young rhino from the reeds. In the midst of the rescue, the young rhino is spooked by a flock of egrets, and he accidentally spears Basi with his horn. The two manage to free him from the reeds, and the young rhino promises to not cross the Flood Plains again until the hippo lanes are complete.
Shortly after the rescue, the rest of the Lion Guard arrives, and Kion explains that they had heard an animal shouting for help. Beshte reassures him that he and his father had saved the young rhino, and Basi comments that it is now time for him to return to the job. However, as he starts to walk away, he finds himself too injured to move. He tries to continue making hippo lanes, but Kion insists that he should not be putting weight on his injured leg, and Beshte adds that it is just not possible for Basi to be making hippo lanes in his condition.
Bunga comments that the Flood Plains will dry up soon, but no sooner has he spoken when thunder rumbles in the distance. With the impending storm, Basi tasks Beshte with creating more hippo lanes, since Basi himself is too injured to walk. Though Beshte is hesitant to step up to the task, Kion reminds him that he is the strongest in the Pride Lands and that the Lion Guard believes in him. Beshte accepts the responsibility and heads out to clear paths through the Flood Plains, while the Lion Guard leads Basi to solid ground.
After the Lion Guard delivers Basi to safety, Ono arrives with news that a herd of sable antelope are refusing to leave their grazing grounds, even though another storm is on the way. Basi suggests that they lead the antelope to the other side of the Flood Plains, but Ono wonders how they will be able to cross the reeds. Basi reminds him that by the time the antelope arrive at the Flood Plains, Beshte will be done creating hippo lanes. The Lion Guard thanks him for the idea and then leaves to save the herd.
In the meantime, Beshte works to create hippo lanes across the Flood Plains. In the midst of his work, he runs into Laini the galago, who asks to hitch a ride to Ndefu Grove. Beshte accepts the job cheerfully and comments that helping other animals is what the hippo lanes are all about.
Across the Pride Lands, Ono leads the Lion Guard to the sable antelope's grazing ground. Kion is quick to order the antelope out of their grazing ground, but their leader, Bupu, points out that they do not wish to leave. Fuli and Ono encourage the herd to leave before the rainstorm comes, but to no avail. In a last ditch effort, Kion informs the antelope that there will be more food away from their drowned grazing ground, and a female antelope named Boboka urges Bupu to reconsider the offer. He relents, and the herd follows after the Lion Guard.
On the way out of the grazing ground, Ono spots a rock slide, and Kion yells for the herd to stay back. Too late, the rocks fall, separating the Lion Guard from their charges. Kion worries over the herd's condition, but Ono reassures him that none of the antelope are injured. He then warns Kion that there is no other way around the rocks and that the storm is closing in fast.
In the face of this new setback, Fuli laments Beshte's absence, but Bunga points out that Kion can still use the Roar of the Elders to blow the rocks away. Kion agrees to the idea and climbs to the other side of the rocks in order to avoid harming the antelope.
Meanwhile, Beshte continues to make hippo lanes and carry passengers from one side of the Flood Plains to the other. Along the way, Chura the frog praises Beshte for his efforts and defends him in the face of critiques from another Pride Lander. Beshte happily concedes to his passengers' requests, then sings "Making Hippo Lanes", in which he explains the importance and process of creating trails through the Flood Plains.
On the other side of the Pride Lands, Kion urges the antelope to move, but Bupu and his herd refuse to cooperate. Kion uses the Roar of the Elders to clear the boulders, but even after the path is clear, the antelope continue to stay put. With some harsh insistence from Fuli, Bupu and his herd reluctantly follow after the Lion Guard until the group reaches the edge of the Flood Plains. There, Ono spots Beshte's hippo lanes and reacts with confusion and shock.
As Beshte approaches, Ono questions him on the completion of the hippo lanes, and Beshte explains that he has been crossing the Flood Plains all day, delivering animals from one side to the other. Ono then leads Beshte to a high vantage point where he can see the entire Flood Plains, and Beshte realizes that he has been cutting twisty paths throughout the area, not "straight and true" lanes like his father had instructed him to make.
A horrified Beshte realizes that his hippo lanes are not useful at all. His distress deepens when Ono notifies him that a herd of sable antelope is waiting to cross to the other side of the Flood Plains. Beshte hurriedly rushes back to the water and resolves to make a new hippo lane, one that will help the sable antelope reach the other side of the Flood Plains. However, as he starts to make a new lane, Ono warns him that he is making another windy trail, and Beshte begins to despair. He then realizes that he can ask his father for help, and he takes off to speak with Basi, while Ono leaves to warn Kion of the situation.
On the other side of the Flood Plains, the Lion Guard leads the antelope to the edge of the water, where Boboka and her son enter one of Beshte's hippo lanes. No sooner have they started to cross the Flood Plains when Ono arrives, forbidding the herd to enter the hippo lanes. Bunga tells Ono that Boboka and her son have already entered the Flood Plains, and Ono panics that they will get lost in the reeds. Kion quickly takes charge of the situation, entering the hippo lanes with Ono, while Bunga and Fuli stay behind with the rest of the herd.
As the coming storm begins to break over the savanna, Beshte admits his mistake to his father, who comforts him and confesses that he had been wrong to send Beshte into the Flood Plains alone. He then attempts to stand, and Beshte rushes to his aid. Together, the two enter the Flood Plains, with Basi asserting that they can make a straight and true hippo lane together.
At the same moment, Ono leads Kion to Boboka's son, who is struggling to stay afloat in the rising water. Kion pushes the calf to safety and questions him on the location of his mother. No sooner has he spoken when the three hear Boboka call for help, and Kion sets off to rescue her, leaving Ono to lead the calf to safety.
Meanwhile, Basi and Beshte work together to create a new hippo lane. As the two work their way across the Flood Plains, Basi struggles to keep up and tells Beshte to go on ahead of him. Beshte proudly exclaims that he will create a straight and true hippo lane and that he will make his father proud, to which Basi says that he has always been proud of his son. Unbeknownst to the two, Makuu and his float watch from the reeds, plotting a way to get rid of Basi.
Back at the edge of the water, Bupu laments not being in his home territory. Fuli attempts to quiet him, but Bupu simply sinks to his knees, prompting the rest of his herd to do the same. Furious, Fuli shoves Bupu from behind and orders him to stand up. As she does so, Ono arrives, incredulous at Fuli's actions, and she exclaims that she is simply trying to make the antelope stand.
At that moment, Beshte arrives, much to the excitement of his teammates. He starts to compliment his father on a job well-done when he notices that Basi is missing. Concerned, Beshte races back into the hippo lane in search of his father. Ono monitors Beshte's progress and marvels at the perfectly straight and true hippo lane that has been created. Bunga then announces to the herd that they can cross the Flood Plains safely.
At Bunga's announcement, Bupu complains that the herd will get wet if they cross the Flood Plains, to which Fuli shouts in exasperation that they are already wet. A stubborn Bupu dares her to continue yelling at them, and Fuli backs off, apologizing for her behavior and politely asking if the herd will follow the Lion Guard into the hippo lane. To her surprise, Bupu relents and tells her that they had only wanted the Lion Guard to be polite to them. He then rallies the herd to him, and they stampede into the Flood Plains.
At the same moment, Boboka arrives with Kion and has a delighted reunion with her son. Kion asks for a report from Fuli, and she informs him that Beshte has created a functioning hippo lane for the herd to use.
In the meantime, Makuu and his float corner Basi in the midst of the hippo lane. Just in time, Beshte arrives to defend his father, but Makuu gloats that he and his float have numbers on their side this time. Basi encourages his son to stand strong against the float, but Beshte reminds Basi that he is injured. He then tells his father to follow him through a new hippo lane.
With Beshte in the lead, the hippos begin to weave a winding trail through the Flood Plains, leading Makuu and his float on a wild chase. The two manage to cross over another hippo lane, but as the crocodiles move to follow them, they get trampled by Bupu's herd. The crocodiles pull back, winded, and Beshte chastises them for endangering the animals of the Pride Lands. In utter defeat, Makuu and his float swim off into the Flood Plains.
Later, Basi and Beshte overlook Bupu's herd grazing on the other side of the water. Kion arrives and compliments the hippos, with Bunga adding that everyone loves the new hippo lanes. Ono then tells Beshte that he is good at making hippo lanes after all, and Basi asserts that he had never had any doubt.

In many industrial and commercial settings, the best way to protect a concrete floor is with a well-specified and professionally installed resinous coating system, which should always start out with an appropriate primer coat. Urethane (also referred to as polyurethane) and epoxy are two resin types frequently utilized in the manufacture of primers. Your flooring contractor is likely to recommend a flooring system that includes either an epoxy or urethane based primer. Knowing more about these two types of products can help inform your discussions.
Choosing an epoxy or urethane based primer will depend as much on the overall flooring system selected as on the type of facility, the room environment and the daily activities taking place in the space where the coatings are to be installed.
When today's resinous flooring professionals talk about "urethane primers", they are usually referring to cementitious urethane primers. Also called urethane mortars, these products are very different from what one may think of as thin film polyurethane clear coats and high performance urethane topcoats. Cementitious urethane primer, slurry and troweled materials are unique in that they contain a Portland cement component. As the first coat in a multi-layered, 3/16"-1/4" thick urethane mortar flooring system, cementitious urethane primers provide excellent surface penetration and bond to mechanically prepared concrete substrates.
Unlike many epoxy base coats, cementitious urethane primers are moisture tolerant and can be applied to concrete floors that are consistently damp, such as in food processing plants, or even over "green" concrete. Because the standard minimum cure time for a newly poured slab is twenty-eight days prior to application of most other floor coatings, construction managers greatly appreciate the time saving option of polyurethane mortar systems that allow installation of the cementitious urethane primer as early as five days after fresh concrete placement.
Thanks to their Portland cement content, like urethane mortar systems as a whole, these primers expand and contract at a rate very similar to concrete. When exposed to drastic swings in temperature, cementitious urethane primers can maintain their good bond.
Despite these many outstanding benefits, urethane mortar primers and their compatible cementitious flooring systems are not right for every application. Mixing and application techniques can be quite technical, with many manufacturers requiring contractors to undergo special training and certification prior to installing. In fact, the great majority of floor coating systems actually start out with epoxy primers.
With the exception of urethane mortar flooring systems with their cementitious urethane primers, most industrial, commercial and institutional floor coatings get installed over epoxy primers. As a rule, epoxy primers bond tenaciously to correctly prepared concrete and provide an excellent base for subsequent coats, whether a creatively decorative, high traffic flooring system or a heavy duty 1/4" thick epoxy-aggregate mortar floor. Low viscosity epoxy primers help fill the pores of the concrete and can begin the job of evening out small imperfections in the slab surface. They are an economical, tried-and-true solution on which many experienced flooring professionals rely.
Standard epoxy primers require a dry substrate and do not perform well over damp concrete. However, new moisture tolerant epoxy primers are available and offer a good option for certain environments. Current technology enables industrial grade epoxy primers to be manufactured completely solvent free, with zero V.O.C.'s. Many have lower odor installation and offer accelerated cure times to ensure faster turnaround.
Both cementitious urethane and epoxy primers offer superior benefits under certain conditions. Your regional floor coating representative and local factory-approved installer can help design the best system, including the optimal primer, for your facility's application. Whatever your unique flooring needs, at Florock, we're ready to help.

If you believe in an afterlife, you probably realize that making lots of money is only an earthly concern, and not something that matters in heaven.
Religious believers make the distinction between earthly problems and things that are far more important in the long term. Usually, these earthly worries have to do with material things, like jobs, money, cars, and houses — rather than spiritual concerns like love, faith, and beauty. The word earth is at the root of earthly, and you can think of it as "things that only matter to humans on the Earth."

Check out a chart of the SPDR Gold Trust (GLD) exchange-traded fund since the financial crisis erupted in 2008 and you will see a sustained climb indicating that the popular way to bet on gold has seen a nearly unabated rise over the past three-plus years. The charts of ETFs tracking the companies that actually dig up the metal show a decidedly more choppy performance though, and a number of highly-regarded investors have been ringing the bell for the miners of late.
Back in September, at CNBC and Institutional Investor's Delivering Alpha conference, BlackRock chief Larry Fink made the case for gold miners, arguing that the stocks were priced where they should be if gold prices were around $800 an ounce. At the time gold was trading near $1,800 an ounce, a level it is approaching once again.
Fink is hardly the only big name that has weighed in on the metal vs. miners question facing those considering gold-linked investments. Hedge fund manager David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital disclosed in a third-quarter letter to investors that although his fund's largest position remains in physical gold – he steers clear of the GLD – some of those holdings were redirected into miners under the assumption that the price difference between the two has grown too wide. (See "Is GLD Really As Good As Gold?")
"It has reached the point where gold mining stocks should do well even in a stable gold market; we expect the price of gold to appreciate further, so gold miners should do even better," wrote Einhorn, who upped his stake in the Market Vector Gold Miners ETF (GDX) and established new positions in both Barrick Gold and the Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners ETF (GDXJ).
Like Einhorn, billionaire John Paulson's eponymous hedge fund has been playing the gold trade on both sides of the aisle. Paulson & Co. pared its GLD bet to 20.3 million shares from 31.5 million during the third quarter, but that still represents a position worth $3.5 billion. Meanwhile, Paulson upped holdings in certain miners, including Barrick Gold (added 7,900 shares), NovaGold Resources (added 26,200 shares) and Randgold Resources (added 223,000 shares).
One of the reasons physical gold -- and proxies for it like the GLD and other ETFs – has managed to stay strong is that the Federal Reserve's zero interest rate policy virtually eliminates the opportunity cost of holding an asset that produces no yield. Just a few years ago, when the Fed's benchmark federal funds rate stood at 5.5%, betting on the price appreciation of gold was a much riskier proposition. Now, with the fed funds rate pegged at a range between zero and 0.25% at least until mid-2013, Ben Bernanke and his colleagues on the Federal Open Market Committee have withdrawn one of the biggest arguments against gold and in favor of fixed-income or dividend-paying stocks.
A positive in the miners column is that some offer a modicum of dividend yield (Barrick and Randgold among them), but they also carry a number of risks that a straight bet on gold, or an ETF tracking it, does not. From political risk -- many of these companies operate in countries that are not as stable as the U.S. -- to the operational risks associated with acquiring and developing metal-producing mines, there are reasons why the big miners have not rallied as rapidly as gold.

From Richard Karran: "The Morgan Invasion held earlier in May was hosted by the St. Petersburg Yacht Club at their Pass-A-Grill location on the Gulf of Mexico. It is an annual gathering of Charlie Morgan's designs and builds. I think this was the 24th year of the event. It is primarily for fun and comraderie, with a Saturday race and banquet with Charlie Morgan as the guest of honor. Here is Charlie Morgan (right) below deck on the Ceol Na Mara a 1972 Morgan 35' yawl, with the owner, Jack Manwaring, following the banquet."

Are you searching for a hobby that will allow you to take advantage of all the wonders that nature provides? How about a hobby that incorporates sport, but allows you to relax and hang out as well? Many people, men and women alike, find exactly this when they go fishing. Continue to read this article to find out why this popular hobby has such a mass appeal.
When wading, use extreme caution. Standing still is ideal, as you won't make much noise, but if you need to move from one place to another, walk slowly so as to avoid splashing. If you make a lot of noise, you'll scare the fish because sound does travel under water. So move slowly and do your best not to disturb the river bed or the river's inhabitants.
When fishing at night, try using a lighted bobber. Lighted bobbers have a small lightbulb inside to help fishers see their line. The bobber will move up and down, alerting you to the catch.
Any seasoned professional will tell you that you cannot catch fish with a dull hook. A simple way to gauge the sharpness of a hook is to see if it leaves a scratch when you drag it along your fingernail. If that does not happen, replace it or sharpen it if you wish to catch additional fish.
When fishing in the winter months, it is best to use sinkers. A sinker carries your bait to the bottom where fish are during cold weather. You can choose how many and how large the sinkers should be based on how deep the water is.
Fly Fishing
Fly fishing is something to try. Fly fishing has several benefits, but it also differs greatly from other kinds of fishing. If you are interested in this type of fishing you will need a completely different set of equipment including: lures, rods, and even the types of clothing that you wear!
Understand a fish's migration pattern to fish downhill or uphill depending on the season. For instance, during the spring months, it is necessary to cast in an uphill direction if you want to stand a good chance of catching fish. Conversely, in the fall, when fish are swimming downstream, you should cast downhill.
Learn to fish responsibly. Do not disturb the environment while you are fishing. Fisherman who bring their lunches with them shouldn't litter once they are done. Learn the laws limiting how many fish you may catch at a time. Follow these laws. Any fish you catch that are too small should be released into the water.
It is important to know the fishing regulations in the particular area where you will be fishing. While some areas may not let you fish in a certain river or lake, others may prohibit certain bait. Contact the local government to find out the rules and regulations of the area.
You realize now that fishing is a relaxing and enjoyable sport that can appeal to anyone. With the most basic equipment or the latest electronic gear, fishing has something to offer everybody. Implement some of the tricks learned here and you could be the next fishing celebrity in your community.
