Where to Find Inspiration for Your Daughter’s Birthday Gifts

Leave a reply

Why is buying gifts for the people we love (and know the best) so difficult? Perhaps it’s the pressure or maybe we’re worried about buying something that they won’t like? Finding the right present for your daughter is one of those times where we seem to lose focus of what they like and dislike and wonder how we’re going to find the right gift in time.

In reality, the perfect gift for your little one is easy to determine, once you know where to get your inspiration. Whether you need toys for 8 year old girls, or something cool and quirky for your tween, in this post we’ll explore where you can find inspiration for your daughter’s birthday gifts. Read on to find out more.

Take a Look at Their Hobbies

You don’t have to look far to find the perfect gift when you consider the topics that they’re passionate about. Whether they’re into horses and visit a pony club at the weekends, or they’re an avid dancer, wannabe actress, bookworm or gamer ask yourself if there is something you can treat them with that will enhance their skills and make their hobbies much more interesting, such as singing lessons, a dance event or a short story writing class. Or maybe you could spoil them with new equipment or attire for their hobbies? A new bag, shoes or boots, sports equipment, or a new gaming platform? The possibilities are endless!

Take A Look At Their Personal Style

If your child is a little older and already making their own fashion choices and choosing what to wear by themselves, then it might be time to use this as inspiration for their next birthday gift. Maybe they’re into hair accessories and bags right now, or they’re into jewellery and want to get their ears pierced? Skating apparel, sports logos, or something bright and colourful – take a look at their personal wardrobe favourites and use it as gift inspiration!

Remember Their Dislikes!

While it’s important to recognise your child’s favourite hobbies, interests and the things that they love, it’s just as important to focus on their dislikes! Maybe they hate a specific colour or material or perhaps they’re not particularly interested in technology, or they prefer graphic novels over traditional printed books. This information can help you steer clear of any gifts that won’t be well received and save you from making some expensive mistakes!

Do They Need Something?

A gift doesn’t have to be something novel or something they’ll find interesting for a short period. It could be something that they actually need! Ask yourself if they have enough dolls and soft toys and maybe something different might be better. Perhaps they’re having sleepovers with friends and they need a new sleeping bag, or maybe they’re heading up to secondary school and a laptop or tablet would help them with their school work?

Final Thoughts…

You’ll find the inspiration you need for gifts everywhere – if you know where to look! Consider these points above to get it right for your daughter.

Top Freelance Tech Jobs

Leave a reply

Ever since 2019, a series of unexpected turn-of-events has swept across the world. The most influential one being the Coronavirus pandemic, which resulted in a worldwide quarantine. After months and years of trying to get used to this new norm, people have started making this lifestyle as comfortable as they can. Some people are looking for new, more flexible, remote job opportunities, others are creating a business of their own. And one of the top self-employed businesses of the year is the tech industry. It’s not only something you can do remotely, but it’s also indispensable in our present lives and will continue to grow and take over all industries. This article will go over all trending freelance businesses in the tech industries you can start today!

Tech Consultant

Just as employees need help navigating the world of online audio or video communication, CEOs, company owners, managers, and even other freelancers are often looking for tech consultants to help them take charge of this new norm. These freelance consultants are usually hired on a one-time basis, and after the consultation is complete, the freelancers receive their payment and look for new clients. This is a great opportunity for those who already have a few contacts they can rely on. This is also a job that requires flexibility in financial areas. Some months you may have new clients every day, while others could be more quiet. But at the end of the day, a good tech consultant is highly sought-after, generously compensated, and it’s a fun, diverse job that never gets boring. It’s great for gathering new contacts, and broadening your horizon, and/or portfolio.

Remote Customer Service

Depending on your expertise, you can land great customer service opportunities. Because most companies are now operating completely remotely, at least one person is hired as a part of the IT team to help with technological difficulties. This isn’t something that’s difficult for most people familiar with tech. But a position like this presents a lot of different obstacles to the employee, meaning you need to be flexible as well as have fairly deep knowledge in all problems that may come your way. Some days you’ll be helping with network issues, while other days you’ll be searching for viruses. While this may seem mundane for some people, it’s an up-and-coming area of the tech industry, and for those starting out, this could be the perfect stepping stone.

Live Streaming Technician

Everyone is getting used to meetings, talks, and basically any form of communication migrating to online platforms. This is understandably overwhelming and comes with its own flaws. This is why most companies are now hiring “streaming technicians” to help ease the experience of employees. These technicians commonly specialize in sound and camera, OBS, live streaming, ZOOM, and the basic workings of online communication. While this position requires flexibility and patience, companies of all industries and sizes are looking for specialists in this area.

Technical Sales Consultant

Technical sales specialists, or sales engineers, focus on complex technical products aimed at businesses. They usually work in professional and scientific services and manufacturers of computers and electronic products. Some areas of employment within this industry don’t require full-time availability or in-person working. One of these areas is becoming a consultant. This not only means having flexible hours, and a project-based salary, but this is also a gateway towards a wide industry with a lot of potential!

Network & Communications Specialist

People who work in network and communications management are a part of the IT team, and help a company or organization achieve its goals for profitability, by implementing specific computer systems. Today, a specialist like this doesn’t need to be employed full-time, and most of the time doesn’t even have to be on-site to get the job done. Therefore, this is an excellent opportunity for the foundation of a freelance self-employed business.

Overall, there is a lot of potential in the tech industry, and new positions emerge on a daily basis. New software and tech solutions are being introduced every hour. And with more and more people relying on their safety and reliability, there’s an ever-growing need for specialists in the industry who could ease this migration to the tech world.

From consultation to customer service, there are thousands of opportunities people should take advantage of. Even if your interests in tech are only on a hobby level, a beginner’s knowledge is appreciated by many. Positions vary from full-time employment to project-based employment, but overall, a freelance career built on technical knowledge is definitely a path worth taking in this day and age. Additionally, it’s one of the best investments young adults can make for the foundation of their futures.

Digital Transformation | How has technology changed your business?

Leave a reply

The use of technology is providing businesses a myriad of opportunities to connect with customers, educate their client base, promote products and services, track trends using analytics, and extend visibility beyond traditional company websites. This is especially important given the increase in remote working environments as well as the increase in electronic shopping. Customers and clients are reaping the benefits of this digital world and these business leaders are sharing the unique ways technology has changed their businesses.

1. Zero Carbon Footprint

Brittany Kaiser, Chair of the Board of Directors Gryphon Digital Mining

Technology has made our business possible. At Gryphon Digital Mining, we create the world’s largest fully integrated pure-play Bitcoin miner with zero carbon footprint. Bitcoin mining is the process of creating a new bitcoin by solving a computational puzzle.

Bitcoin mining is necessary to maintain the ledger of transactions upon which Bitcoin is based. We are grateful that technology offers a world of possibilities.

2. Customer Education and Connection

Micheal Fischer, Founder Elite HRT

Our business has been able to connect physicians with patients much more effectively and easily with online access. On top of that, patient education has been much easier for our Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) treatment plans, in order to ensure patients of their informed decisions. It’s been great to connect people to get them started leading healthier and happier lives.

3. Refreshing Remote Work Structure

Samantha Charleston, VP Human Resources Newell Brands

For the time being, Newell Brands is continuing our remote work structure for the majority of the office population. A benefit of the new situation is it has given employees an outlet to try new things, think differently, share ideas and find solutions.

4. Business through Webapps

Amber Theurer, Chief Marketing Officer ivee

The ability for us to generate business through a webapp has been very beneficial for us, since apps are usually very user-friendly and virtually everyone is on their phones often enough as it is. By just tapping a few buttons on your phone, we can have a Registered Nurse provide IV treatment and other health and wellness services to you at your home or work in as soon as an hour. Without our platform, the process of being able to set up these appointments, and the subsequent efficiencies gained would not be nearly as impactful.

5. Educate and Connect through Blog Posts

Brandon Monaghan, Co-Founder Miracle Brand

Providing customers with more information through our blog has been a game-changer. Through this online community of readers, we have been able to establish a personal connection with our customers and eventual customers. We feel educating people through the blog about our products and providing other helpful tips aids in new and recurring sales from previous customers.

6. Analytics Platforms for a Better Customer Experience

Benjamin Smith, Founder Disco

Using the vast amount of information available through analytics platforms like Google Analytics or SEMrush is pivotal to understanding how customers are finding and interacting with a website. Tracking behavior, identifying trends and roadblocks, analyzing search terms, and so on can help guide how to go about optimizing for a better customer experience.

7. Remote Business Connection and Productivity

Joe Parenteau, Co-founder Fable Home

Fable Home has almost always been a remote working business, with the option to come into the office as needed. Technology has allowed us to smoothly and effectively transition all of our employees to remote roles with success. We are able to communicate with video chatting and quick emails or Slack messages. Technology allows us to constantly stay connected and boost productivity levels!

8. Promote with Social Media using Analytics

Annabel Love, Co-founder & COO Nori Press

Technology has changed the way we promoted our business and got in front of the right customers. With social media, we wanted to target people who were actually interested in using our product, rather than just hoping the advertisements would do their job. Using analytics, we are able to target people who are more likely to be interested and use more optimization to increase sales.

9. Create an Office Atmosphere at Home with Video Communication

Brittney Dolin, CEO Pocketbook Agency

If it wasn’t for the quick and easy adaptation our company experienced with technology, we would be in a very different place right now. Technology contributed to basic day-to-day practices in addition to assisting us in the trend tracking process. We were able to implement video chatting and Slack communication to help employees create a resemblance of office atmosphere at home. As trends changed, so did our goals!

10. Track Customer Goals to Meet Needs

Jeff Goodwin, Sr. Director of Performance Marketing and e-Commerce Orgain

Technology has allowed the nutrition industry to skyrocket, as more information becomes publicly available and the interest for higher nutrition increased tenfold in the past decade. We are also able to track more accurately how health and fitness can help people reach their goals, and being able to formulate our products around those needs has become a lot easier.

11. Attract Prospects from Anywhere without Travel

Chris Bedi, CIO ServiceNow

Employers will quickly realize that they can start hiring anywhere and attract a whole new set of prospects. And even though there’s a level of Zoom fatigue that’s setting in from nonstop video calls, the travel market is forever changed, he predicts. The concept of getting on a plane for six hours for a two-hour meeting and being jet lagged, people are going to go — why?

The pandemic has changed the way we live life and do business. As Elon Musk says, “Some people don’t like change, but you need to embrace change if the alternative is disaster.” Technology allows you to grow, expand, and elevate your business. With the number of opportunities to incorporate technology into your practice, how can your organization use technology to its advantage today?

12. Increase the Confidence of Customers through Education of Products

Aidan Cole, CEO TatBrow

We have been able to inform and empower the public by adding a “How to Use” section to our website. This gives potential customers confidence in using our product and has been enhanced with the use of video to show TatBrow demos without customers even leaving our site! This makes it convenient for customers to purchase immediately following their exploration of these resources.

13. Stay on Top of Trends to Increase E-Commerce

Chris Vaughn, Co-founder Saucey

Before the pandemic e-commerce sales were already on the rise. When the pandemic hit and everyone was forced to purchase their essentials through the internet, naturally sales sky-rocketed. The convenience of purchasing products and services shifted from real-time purchases (in-stores) to finding the best product or service (researching and analyzing online), so our technologies also made that shift. We were able to stay on top of trends by effectively tracking them! Quickly, consumers began developing e-commerce habits that significantly helped these businesses track their sales and network.

14. Promote through Social Media and Web Platforms

Ben Teicher, President/CEO Healthy Directions

Being able to promote our podcasts from our website and on our YouTube channel has been really helpful for our business. Without these digital forms of media, we probably wouldn’t be able to communicate our expertise with the public to the same degree, nor would we be able to allow our prospects and customers to get to know our brand as well.

15. SEO Marketing

Danielle Callabrese, COO De La Calle

An important component of technology is the work put into search engine optimization. Consumer behaviors have unmistakably changed. They are no longer casually shopping around in stores. Trends have indicated that consumers are researching products they are interested in purchasing before making the trip to their preferred retailer (whether that be in person or online). SEO marketing has been around for some time, but it wasn’t until the global pandemic that we saw this side of marketing truly take off.

Three Unlikely Peaky Blinders Fan Theories

Leave a reply

The anticipation is continuing to grow ahead of the sixth Peaky Blinders series, as the stars of the hit BBC drama have been caught filming the show throughout the summer.

However, conversations surrounding fan theories about what happens next have been rife since the dramatic ending of the previous season. Some are more unlikely than others, though. But, which scenarios look more unlikely than most when it comes to season six of Peaky Blinders?

Aberama Gold Is Alive

This is a theory that has been doing the rounds since the shocking ending to the fifth series. In that final episode, Aberama Gold was viciously killed by the Billy Boys, as Tommy Shelby’s plot to assassinate Oswald Mosley quickly fell apart.

Of course, the Blinders have a history of bringing characters back from the dead, with Arthur making his shocking return to bring down Luca Changretta. However, it is massively unlikely that Gold survived the attack on that night at the rally, despite many fans hoping for the happy ending that Aunt Polly deserves. Other fan theories have rumoured that John Shelby and Inspector Campbell could also return, but they also seem far-fetched.

Michael Gray Informed Mosley

The most pressing question that fans will have ahead of the final season is who exactly betrayed Tommy and gave Oswald the heads up that they were planning an attack. One name that has constantly been mentioned in that conversation is Michael Gray. Michael and Tommy’s relationship hit an all-time low in the fifth series, as Tommy was warned by the IRA that he wasn’t trustworthy. Michael constantly tried to seize control of the Blinders from Tommy, which led to a dramatic showdown between the two in the final episode.

Certainly, Michael wants to go higher in the gang and take control in the place of Tommy, but it looks almost impossible that he had anything to do with the plan going wrong. Most importantly, he wasn’t even in the loop when it came to the plan, which means that he wouldn’t have had the knowledge to tell Oswald what was going to happen. However, whether Tommy believes him is an entirely different question altogether.

Tommy Commits Suicide

The final scene before the credits was Tommy running into a field with the gun to his head screaming. Many fans feared that this would be the end of Tommy, as his mental health was deteriorating throughout the series, as he would constantly see Grace. However, it is massively unlikely that Tommy would have pulled the trigger, mainly through pride, as that would indicate that Oswald has come out on top in the battle between the two.

More likely, we will see Tommy come back stronger and more determined than ever to find out who the mole was. Arthur and Tommy will likely be at the front trying to find out who it was, while also taking on Oswald and the Billy Boys, and also keeping face for his political career.

Five Works of Art and Literature Inspired by Marijuana

Leave a reply

Art and literature can transform the world and help us to see things in a different way. There are so many different types that you can choose to work with and all of them add some beauty to the world. When it comes to marijuana and psychedelic drugs, there are some great works of art and literature that are inspired by this plant, allowing us to open up and learn more about it. Some of the best works of art and literature inspired by marijuana include:

Super Plant

This work of art can help open your eyes to this beautiful plant and see it under new eyes. While many people assume that marijuana is all bad, evil even, seeing such a beautiful work of art will be able to help you see more about it and all the delicate and natural beauty that comes with it.

Marijuana: It’s Just a Plant

This is a work of literature that will help you to explore marijuana and other psychedelic plants in a new light. While this may not be the first thing that parents will reach for when reading a story to their kids at night, it will make it a point that millions of people use pot each day so it is not such a novel idea compared to what we think. This is a reliable source to introduce the idea of marijuana to your kids, where the parents can help them to learn something new, rather than hoping they get it from the news or other sources.

Bong Hit Station

This is an absurd video that was released in 2013 and can provide all the details that someone new to the world of marijuana would be able to use when they want to get stoned. Sometimes the steps will seem a bit complex and like they do not need to be so bad, but that is part of the humor that many will enjoy with this video.

California Artist

This simple stone sculpture is almost a type of self-portrait for Robert Arneson. He felt that, as an artist that worked in California, he had to deal with a lot of unfair characterizations that he was not that fond of. With that in mind, he created this sculpture, complete with a hippie look and a pot plant growing with it.

Bongolier

Created by Bentley Meeker, Bongolier is a light installation that is meant to mix the high and low culture all in one. It is basically a light display that has chandeliers made out of glass bongs that he repurposed for this sculpture. There are also other sculptures that are there to help juxtapose some of the different sources of light that are in there. Some are going to be kind of shady and others are there to show the full spectrum to give something unique.

The Shifting Perception of Marijuana and Other Psychedelics

The approval of marijuana and psychedelics has been a shifting change in many countries over the years. While there are still a lot of individuals and even governments that are not jumping on board, there is more acceptance for this than there was in the past. With more art and literature being inspired by marijuana each day, we are sure to see this become more widely seen in the future.

Seeing the Beauty of Marijuana

While there are still some people who worry that marijuana and other similar drugs are all bad and will ruin society, there is so much beauty and joy that comes with this plant and many different benefits that come with it. Thanks to the introduction of many different types of art and literature, more people throughout the world will be able to see some of this beauty too.

Three Things Movies Get Wrong About Marijuana

Leave a reply

Movies are a great way to escape reality and get lost in the lives of characters that we love, and the fact that so many people have been exposed to cannabis through movies has led to an increase in demand for cannabis products which means there are more options available than ever before. Some of your favorite movies portray cannabis consumption using various methods, with joints and water pipes being used most often. Both joints and water pipes are iconic symbols of cannabis culture. In movies, water pipes can be seen as a prop used for smoking, and there are plenty of examples that show how much Hollywood loves these devices. If you love a good water pipe too, you can go to Daily High Club’s website, where you’ll find a great selection of shapes and designs. Today there are a variety of different water pipes you can use and each has its own unique benefits.

But have you ever wondered how accurate movies are when it comes to their representation of marijuana? Do you feel like you have learned all you know about marijuana by watching movies?

Stoner movies can be classified as a separate genre. You can’t expect them to be artsy, but they’re always funny and entertaining. Whether it’s Pineapple Express or Up in Smoke, these films show cannabis consumption as a non-threatening activity.

Unfortunately, these films also manage to get some crucial facts about cannabis wrong. There are so many different myths about cannabis, and hardly any of them are true. If you want to know more about these myths, here are 3 things movies get wrong about marijuana.

Cannabis users are lazy and unemployed

One of the biggest stereotypes that cannabis users face is that they are lazy and unemployed. This is all down to how movies have portrayed stoners in film and how they come across to the audience. While this is what is seen in these movies, most of the time this actually isn’t the case.

The stoner stereotype makes it look like stoners are slow. However, marijuana is known as a depressant which means it slows down the nervous system and brain function. This does not mean that people are lazy or dumb. In fact, this kind of nervous system depressant can be really beneficial to people, especially those who are struggling with anxiety.

This kind of slow down brain function means that people can be more present and appreciate being in the moment. It aids in concentration and even allows for people to see another perspective on issues.

Although this stereotype does ring true about a few people at times, it Is not the case across the board and should not be portrayed this way in movies, as it does give this misconception.

Cannabis users hallucinate

Moving on to the next point, another common misconception about marijuana that is portrayed in movies, is that it makes people hallucinate. Hallucinations are commonly associated with illegal drugs and the idea of stoners. However, marijuana is not one of those drugs that contribute to hallucinations. Movies tend to make it seem like when someone gets high, their whole world goes askew.

While some strains of marijuana are stronger than others, and some contain a higher percentage of THC than others, marijuana doesn’t affect what you see and you won’t get hallucinations from it. Hallucinations are typically caused by different illegal drugs such as magic mushrooms and LSD.

Filmmakers create this idea of how marijuana affects people because it’s what people typically associate with marijuana users. People who have never consumed marijuana will not know this.

Cannabis users can’t get addicted

One thing that a lot of stoner movies seem to get wrong is that they say cannabis users can’t be addicted to weed. This is so far from the truth in reality. Marijuana gives your brain a temporary state of relaxation and boosts its serotonin chemically. Over time if you have continually given your brain this boost, it will become used to it and begin to expect the THC so that you can function as per normal.

This means that marijuana is very addictive. It’s not addictive in the way that you might crave it, but it is addictive in the way that you might experience some withdrawal symptoms that will bring you right back to having a joint.

On the bright side, all of the marijuana withdrawal symptoms are uite manageable and easy to handle, so if you do find yourself addicted, it’s not the end of the world. These side effects include things like restlessness, nausea, irritability, insomnia, and more. You would have a much harder time if you were trying to quit smoking cigarettes or if you were addicted to a much harsher drug.

As one starts to learn more and more about marijuana, even if you don’t consume it yourself, it is very clear to see that movies are just portraying this stereotype to please the audience. There are so many facts that are left out which leave so many questions.

Trends within the cannabis industry

Leave a reply

There is so much happening in the cannabis industry and so many things that attract attention. Cannabis is starting to be legalized across many parts of the world after being an illegal substance for a very long time. The stigma that surrounded cannabis is slowly starting to fade as well and society, in general, is beginning to embrace this herb. Medical marijuana is also something that is starting to become very popular in society and this has contributed towards the growth of the cannabis industry and today about 158.8 million people use marijuana around the world. There are some trends within the cannabis industry that have resulted in the evolution of the industry, such as the sale of dry herb vaporizers at online stores like MagicVaporizers, and these trends, which will be discussed in this article, are fuelling the popularity of marijuana.

Rise of CBD

CBD, which is one of the main active ingredients in the cannabis plant, has become increasingly popular. Unlike THC, CBD does not produce any psychoactive effects, instead, it provides users with many health benefits. Researchers and medical professionals are intrigued by CBD and new information about the chemical is constantly being released. A few of the health benefits of CBD include:

Pain relief
Anti-inflammatory
Anxiety relief
Anti-depressant
Induces sleep
Increases appetite

It is legal to buy CBD products in the United States and many other places around the world making CBD legal. There are many benefits that you get from CBD including the many health benefits without the psychoactive high.

Cannabis tourism

Ask anyone 50 or even 20 years ago and they would tell you that they would never predict that cannabis tourism would become a trend in society. Cannabis tourism allows individuals to embark on tours while consuming cannabis. The tours provide people with the opportunity to enjoy leisure time while enjoying a nice high and they are very popular. An example of cannabis tourism is the Tweed Visitor Centre located in Smiths Falls where you can take a tour of real grow rooms and you can even watch them make chocolate edibles. You can attend a cannabis café, a tour, a festival, or even take a ride on a tour bus while smoking a lovely strain. The fact that this is even a thing shows just how much society is embracing cannabis and how popular it is. These tours are great for the cannabis industry as well as for the economy.

Edibles and beverages

Edibles and beverages are consumables that are infused with cannabis. During the cooking or brewing process, cannabis is added and this allows it to infuse into the product so that when it is consumed, you feel the effects of the substance. This is one of the easiest ways to consume cannabis and people love it because the high is more potent and it lasts much longer than when you consume through other methods such as smoking for example. The benefit of consuming marijuana this way is the reduced health risk and you can infuse any edible or beverage with cannabis including ice cream, brownies, tea, and beer.

Topicals

Topicals are another popular cannabis trend and it is when lotions, creams, oils, or balms are infused with cannabis. To consume this way, you simply apply the topical onto your skin and wait for the effects. People consume cannabis this way because it does not produce a psychoactive high and when topicals are applied to your muscles or joints, it relieves pain and stiffness. This method of consumption is very popular amongst athletes. An example of a topical is CBD-infused coconut oil that you can apply to your skin.

Terp sauce

Terp sauce is not widely known however it is trending within the cannabis industry. It is a marijuana extract that consists of more than 50% terpenes which is a very fragrant oil that is found in different plants, including the cannabis plant and terpenes are responsible for the plant smell and unique taste. Terp sauce also contains cannabinoids as well as other compounds. You can consume terp sauce by dabbing it or simply adding it to your vaporizer, bong, pipe, or joint. People consume marijuana this way because it is very potent and the benefits are that it is good for relaxation and mood elevation.

FREE BILLY RALLY

Leave a reply

Free Billy Rally at the Los Angeles Zoo draws support from Activists, Musicians, Celebrities, and a BAFTA-Winning Filmmaker Demand to release the aging wild-captured elephant is growing.

A public rally will take place in the Los Angeles Zoo parking lot on Saturday, August 21 to add pressure to the City of Los Angeles as part of a years-long campaign to release Billy, the LA Zoo’s sole male elephant, to a wildlife sanctuary. A coalition of supporters are pushing to have the 36-year-old bull elephant flown to the Cambodia Wildlife Sanctuary (CWS) to join Kaavan, another bull elephant recently released from the Islamabad Zoo.

An amazing new version of the Diane Warren song, “Free” will be played at the event and will also be featured in the documentary. “Free” has music and lyrics by Diane Warren and was originally written for Disney’s film The One and Only Ivan. The new version of the song features singer Yolanda Adams with the Ebenezer Baptist Church Choir and percussion and drums by Mick Fleetwood (Fleewood Mac).

This extraordinary new version of “Free” was executive produced by Mick Fleetwood, Mickey Shapiro and 12-time Oscar nominated, Grammy, Emmy and two-time Golden Globe award-winning songwriter Diane Warren.

Diane’s songs have been featured in more than 100 films and been recorded by top artists including Lady Gaga, Common, Andra Day, Jennifer Hudson, Cher, Christina Aguilera, Reba McEntire, Beyoncé, Whitney Houston, Enrique Iglesias, Aerosmith, Celine Dion, Mary J. Blige and Zendaya, among many others.

WHAT: Free Billy The Elephant Rally

WHERE: THE LOS ANGELES ZOO

Parking Lot 5333 Zoo Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90027

WHEN: Saturday, August 21, 2021 10 A.M. to Noon

ABOUT THE MOVIE FREE BILLY

The filmmakers include Marshall Corwin (Fresh Start Media) and cameraman Peter von Puttkamer. This independently produced film began principal photography last month with Joyce Poole, a world-renowned elephant expert with a Ph.D. in elephant behavior from Cambridge University. She has studied the social behavior and communication of elephants for over 40 years, dedicating her life to their conservation and welfare.

ABOUT THE FREE BILLY CAMPAIGN

Former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa admitted that Billy the zoo elephant divided the city into two very strong centers of influence. One believes, like he does, that elephants belong in sanctuaries and not zoos. The other camp supports the LA zoo and cherishes having the elephants in the zoo. David Casselman sued the LA ZOO (owned by the City of Los Angeles), along with the late actor Robert Culp, activist Aaron Leider. Celebrity supporters Cher, Bill Maher, Bob Barker, Halle Berry and Lily Tomlin have all worked to liberate this wild-captured elephant.

ABOUT THE RALLY

This public rally is being produced by Kiersten Cluster and her group Elephant Guardians of Los Angeles, and will be filmed as part of a documentary film entitled Free Billy. The film crew includes the BAFTA-winning director Marshall Corwin from Fresh Start Media in London.

ABOUT LILY TOMLIN / ERIN BOYLE ELEPHANT SCULPTURE

Inspired by the Tomlin’s Ernestine character on her series Laugh In, this life-sized baby elephant sculpture, entitled “Is Anybody Listening” was designed by Lily Tomlin and artist Erin Boyle for the art show Elephant Parade in Dana Point in 2013. The Elephant Parade curator, Dana Yarger has loaned Tomlin’s engaging art piece to attend the Free Billy rally for zoo visitors to enjoy. “Now, more than ever, it is essential for the community to connect through art”, says Yarger. In 2009, about the 2009 Free Billy campaign, actress Lily Tomlin said: “I and many others in the community have watched the LA city council rely on, and be misled by, the zoo’s representation about the health and welfare of wild animals in their care.”

ABOUT KAAVAN THE ELEPHANT

As noted above, Kaavan was recently re-homed after being called the ‘world’s loneliest elephant’. He was freed from horrible conditions in a Pakistan zoo and shipped to the Cambodia Wildlife Sanctuary. This rescue will also be included in the documentary to demonstrate how a zoo elephant can live happily ever after when s/he is returned to a wild environment. Kaavan was gifted by the government of Sri Lanka to Pakistan in 1985. In 2021, Kaavan was freed to live in a jungle sanctuary.

Finding the Right Mentality to Get Out of a Financial Rut

Leave a reply

When you find yourself in a difficult financial situation, it can take a severe mental toll on you due to the stresses involved and how it impacts what you can do with your life. This, of course, makes the whole situation even worse as you’re now having to deal with your mental health on top of the financial issues you face.

Trying to resolve complex issues while in a troubled headspace isn’t ideal and makes it much harder than it already is. Therefore, your priority should be doing everything you can to get yourself in a healthier and more positive mindset, so that you can approach these challenges with as much chance for a successful result as possible.

Understand That There are Alternative Solutions

When things don’t go the way that you want them to, it’s easy to think that all paths forward are closed off to you. This is especially true when you’re talking about money, due to how much of a role that it seems to play in everything. However, it’s important to remember that you likely feel this way because you’re only familiar with the methods and options that you or people you know have used in the past. Instead, you might need to alter your lifestyle and consider as many different options as possible. Life is all about change and learning to adapt to oncoming challenges is something that could be very positive for you going forward in life, regardless of your financial situation.

For example, cutting back on things that you usually spend a lot of money on might mean that you no longer get to experience those things in the same way but they open up a bit of freedom where it’s more important, meaning you can relax that little bit more. Furthermore, this doesn’t even mean that you’re cut off from getting new things, it just means the way that you pay for them might be a little bit different. If you needed to get a car, for instance, but you find yourself with bad credit, car finance might be the route forward for you with companies who won’t hold your credit against you.

Take Care of Yourself

Whenever you’re faced with a situation that is having a negative impact on your mental health, it can be tempting to put all of your time towards trying to resolve that issue, without putting any time aside for your own care. It is important to put time towards yourself, not only for the sake of your health, but also, as mentioned previously, a clearer mind can often mean a stronger approach to life’s problems.

If you’re struggling for ways to do this, you have multiple options to try and see what helps you. Meditation has many benefits related to mental health, as does exercise. The latter can even take the form of activities as simple as a walk in a nice area, which can give your brain a much-needed rest from the confines of your home. Additionally, the area that you walk to itself can bring its own benefits if you decide to go to a greener, wider space.
