I wouldn't have minded a wait if I'd been provided proof the card had been made and tracked postage. I will also be contacting trading standards and providing all the details, found the directors on social media and the warehouse/storage place that is registered for both Pika pets and print a memory in Liverpool. I have also reported them to my bank and have the charge under investigation. If your still having issues, just request an immediate refund. Or was it even a real business to start with. So I'm not sure what deal has been done, but whomever ran Pika Pets before (perhaps the illustrators) have sold out the business as they couldn't cope. Seems you can't make any more orders on Pika Pets as it has they are not accepting any orders anymore. They are also directors of Print a Memory. I did a little digging and found that Pika Pets had new directors as of 16th December 2022, 3 weeks after my order? A Joshua Loveday and Mr Dusan Kloc. They responded with please wait 14 working days! I immediately told them to refund me as I would bot wait a further 3 weeks and that they had not answered my question on tracking details (I thought they had changed from royal mail or would use a tracked service after all the other issues). They eventually advised they would send a 3rd one and mentioned about tracking and I agreed for a 3rd one if tracking details would be provided. I was then reading these reviews and thought, damn this could be a scam!! I continued to email them and another few weeks went by and nothing. Many emails sent in January with no response and eventually mid Jan I was told it may have got lost and they would send another. So now the royal mail strikes were in full swing, so I doubted I'd have it before Christmas and resigned myself to wait until the new year. So it's 6 to 12 working days supposedly, so around the 14th December I emailed to enquire if it had been sent and I did receive a reply saying it had in fact been picked up by the courier (I wouldn't call royal mail a courier imo). I let them know I liked the art and approved, to which they replied thanks and they would send it off to be made. After receiving the art approval email a little later than there normal times after I emailed them enquiring if I had it right and that i expected it not to be normal as it was close to christmas. I ordered my Pika pet card on the 22nd November 2022.

It exists in the West Fork of the Black River and a few small impoundments, such as Lee Valley Lake, and the largest population is on the Fort Apache Indian Reservation.Īpache trout inhabit clear, cool mountain headwaters of streams and creeks above 7,500 feet and mountain lakes. The Apache trout occurs in the upper Salt River and the Little Colorado River systems (the Colorado River drainage) in Arizona. Females lay between 100 and 4,000 eggs in nests (called redds) at the downstream ends of pools the lower egg counts occur in wild stream populations and the higher counts in hatcheries.Īs with other trout that live in flowing water, Apache trout eat both aquatic and terrestrial insects such as mayflies, caddisflies, and grasshoppers. The all-tackle world record is a 5-pound, 3-ounce fish taken in Arizona in 1991.ĭepending on the geographic elevation, spawning occurs between March and mid-June the higher the elevation, the later spawning occurs, beginning when water temperatures reach 46☏. The underside of the head is orange to yellowish-orange, with a complete lateral line of 112 to 124 scales.Īdult fish usually range from 8 to 15 inches in length, although they can reach 18 inches. The head, the back, the sides, and the fins have evenly spaced dark spots, and the dorsal, the pelvic, and the anal fins are white tipped. The Apache trout is a striking fish, with yellow to golden sides, an adipose fin, and a large dark spot behind each eye. The Apache trout was among the first fish species protected when the Endangered Species Act of 1973 was enacted, and it is currently listed as “threatened” or “likely to become endangered in the near future.” Since those times, a 95-percent reduction in range has resulted from hybridization with rainbow trout, brook trout, and other trout. Rainbow Trout ( Oncorhynchus mykiss) and Cutthroat Trout ( Oncorhynchus clarkii) will also predate on Apache Trout and hybridize with them (Arizona Game and Fish Department 2009 Minckley and Marsh 2009).A member of the Salmonidae family, the Apache trout is Arizona’s state fish and was once so abundant that early pioneers caught and salted large numbers of them as a winter meat source. Brown Trout ( Salmo trutta) and Brook Trout ( Salvelinus fontinalis) devour eggs, fingerling, and parr and out-compete Apache Trout for food and space. Widely stocked non-native trout species have impacted the Apache Trout. Females lay between 70 -300 eggs based on body size (Behnke 2002). The Apache Trout Oncorhynchus apache is native to th. These trout are native to very cool and clean freshwater mountain streams but now have been introduced to other water bodies, since they have been declared endangered. Temperature seems to be the critical factor to the initiation of spawning. The Southwest has the hottest and driest climate in the United States, and projections show that it will only get hotter and drier into the 2100s. Apache trout became one of the first species to be federally listed as endangered in 1969. The Apache trout can grow up to 24 inches in length and weigh up to 6 lbs, although it rarely grows past 10 inches and can reach up to 16 inches in its native waters. Spawning occurs in the spring (May) when water temperatures are rising and snow runoff into streams is lower. Adults are typically small in size because of their diet and habitat limitations.Īpache Trout require clean coarse gravel substrates for spawning and prefer cover in the form of woody debris, pools, coarse substrate such as gravel, cobble, and boulders, undercut stream-banks or overhanging vegetation at stream edges (Arizona Game and Fish Department 2009). ![]() ![]() Their diet consists of aquatic and terrestrial invertebrates (Behnke 2002). This species typically lives four years, but the maximum known is six years. Lake populations have been stocked because there are no natural lakes occurring in the native range of the species (Behnke 2002). These creeks usually occur in mixed conifer and ponderosa pine forest (Arizona Game and Fish Department 2009). Ecology: Apache Trout's native habitat are small cool water (< 25º C) creeks that are relatively unstable and occur, at the lowest, from 1,800 to 2,100 meters in elevation (Rinne and Minckley 1985, Behnke 2002, Arizona Game and Fish Department 2009). ![]() ![]() Terms like roof, wall and eaves, gave way to expressions found in nature - fins, icing, river lines and feathers.

Virginia will be greatly missed and always adored by her husband, Donald, her daughters: Lisa Lawson (Curt), Rene Keiser (Dave), and grandchildren: Travis Paine and fiancée Alex Tyer, Kirby Keiser and Courtney Keiser. Following retirement she and Don became snow birds and wintered in South Padre, TX. The pieces she made for her children and grandchildren will always be treasured. She earned Best of Show and many blue ribbons with her artistic talents on her ceramic and porcelain pieces. She was an accomplished seamstress who could make anything even without a pattern. She loved to cook and bake always treating her family to wonderful meals and desserts. Her family plans to continue this tradition in loving memory of her. A special stop was at Pike's Peak in McGregor, IA. She loved getting Cortland apples and baking her famous apple pie. Virginia continued her parent’s family tradition of taking her children and grandchildren to Gays Mills, WI every fall for Apple Fest. The lake house was also a favorite at the 4th of July where there was boating, fishing, swimming, good food, family, campfires and of course a beautiful view of the fireworks. ![]() Another favorite was her macaroni and cheese. Her grandchildren spent many weekends there being spoiled by her wonderful cooking. It was there that she loved to entertain and decorate for all the holidays - especially Christmas. In 1989 they moved to Clear Lake and Don built her a dream house on the lake. She loved tooling along the river in their boat and enjoying life. Eventually, they purchased a mobile home and placed it over on the Mississippi River at Prairie Du Chien, WI.

It is a poignant example of God’s willingness to extend grace and mercy to us even when we feel like we don’t deserve it. War Room is a movie that serves as a powerful reminder of the impact that prayer can have on our everyday lives. However, while this new development slows the movie down considerably, it does lead to one of the most suspenseful moments in the movie. War Room snaps and crackles along at an enjoyable pace for about the first 50 minutes of the movie but suddenly bogs down as a new sub-plot emerges involving the owner (Alex Kendrick) of Tony’s company. Admittedly, it is a difficult task to find the proper balance between being purposefully evangelistic to general audiences and merely “preaching to the choir” of a highly committed base of believers. While people of faith will be delighted with the topics of strategic prayer and marriage restoration, the movie’s dialogue becomes highly preachy at times. It is hard to discount a message that exemplifies everything that is right about Christian cinema but War Room struggles at times to be inclusive of non-Christian audiences. rounds out the central cast as Tony’s best friend and wise-cracking foil. Playing a gang leader in 2011’s Courageous, the former pro football player brings a genuine feeling of authenticity as Elizabeth’s corporate climbing husband Tony. Stallings returns to appear in his second Kendrick Brothers movie. People will undoubtedly be inspired and challenged to live out what the feisty octogenarian is preaching through her words and deeds. If she so chooses, Shirer has a very bright future as an actress.Ĭonversely, Abercrombie powerfully communicates the Gospel message through her character, Miss Clara. What she may lack in experience is hard to detect as her charismatic presence carries the movie at times. In her acting debut, well-known Bible teacher Shirer absolutely lights up the screen in War Room. Stinky feet, lukewarm coffee, and a potentially poisonous meal are just a few of the comic devices used to bring levity to the big screen. War Room often soars as several laugh-out loud moments are interwoven into the fabric of the very serious topic of a failing marriage. They are quick to point out that ultimately War Room is not a black or white movie, but a compelling story whose message will relate to everybody on a variety of different levels.Ī hallmark of every Kendrick Brothers movie is their intentional use of humor. Unlike their past projects, the Kendrick Brothers have ventured into new territory by featuring a primarily African-American cast. THE GOOD AND BAD IN WAR ROOMĭirector Alex Kendrick and writer/producer Stephen Kendrick have once again crafted a thought-provoking movie that will speak to the hearts of many. Only Miss Clara’s wisdom and some divine providence can save their marriage from becoming just another statistic. Her newfound prayer life and his resistance to living life God’s way are on a collision course. As Elizabeth tries to fight for the soul of her household, Tony’s world begins to unravel. Their failing marriage experiences an unexpected twist when Elizabeth’s newest client, Miss Clara (Karen Abercrombie), challenges her to develop a battle plan of prayer to save her family. Realizing this, Elizabeth resigns herself to a life of harboring bitterness and resentment for the sake of their daughter. ![]() Tony only has eyes for his climb up the corporate ladder and the potential dalliances his success can bring. But beneath this shiny exterior of lives well lived are serious issues destined to boil over. They both have great jobs, a beautiful daughter, and a sparkling dream home in the country. Stallings) and Elizabeth Jordan (Priscilla Shirer) seem to be living the American dream. Smaller in scale than its cinematic predecessors, the Kendrick Brothers make sure War Room packs a powerful punch in its exploration of using prayer as weapon rather than a crutch. ![]() Instead, viewers are presented with a fierce battle between husband and wife. Following a series of recent controversial Supreme Court rulings, sexuality issues in the news, and more than two years of increasing racial tension across the United States a new movie offering a solution to these issues seems to be coming at just the right time.įrom the creators of highly-successful faith-based films Courageous, Fireproof, and Facing the Giants, comes War Room, a story that doesn’t feature intense police car chase scenes, perilous firefighting, or tenacious death crawls across the gridiron. ![]() Horimiya doesn’t do anything remarkable or groundbreaking It’s just really pleasant to watch. Overtime, we see the once lonely Miyamura develop a loving and supportive community around him. This pace allows the debut season of the show to quickly move away from showing just Hori and Miyamura’s relationship, and gives us space to learn about all the other people in their life. In Horimiya, we see them fall for each other in a matter of episodes. ![]() (We learn he has tattoos and piercings!) In other shojo, it’s not uncommon for a story to take entire seasons for the love interests to hold hands, and might not even show a kiss. The show follows Hori, a responsible big sister and confident student with friends, and her budding romance with Miyamura, a shy and quiet loner with a secret edgy look outside of highschool. Horimiya, a show whose namesake comes from combining the names of its two central love interests, Kyouko Hori and Izumi Miyamura, is about as darling as you’d expect a show named after its two lovers to be. Chris Planteīeastars season 1 and 2 are available to stream on Netflix. And like the works of Shakespeare, Beastars can be contorted into whatever else you want it to be. A sexy, violent, and often frustrating tale of star-crossed lovers kept apart by society. In that way, Beastars is like Romeo and Juliet. I enjoy the show best when I take its internal logic on its own terms. I know this is gauche amongst critics, but for me, Beastars works when I quit trying to make a one-to-one connection between our world and its city of horny teenage carnivores and herbivores. Frankly, I’ve stopped caring about what it’s about. Or perhaps it’s a coming of age story about a generation of young people disconnected from their parents by rapidly changing norms. Maybe it’s holding a magnifying glass to sexual violence on campus. Though it could be a cringey, misguided exploration of race. Beastars tells the story of a wolf who wants to have sex with a rabbit, but worries he will devour said rabbit. ![]() Subscribe to our website to get notification of latest post and don’t forget to follow us on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Youtube, Google and Tumblr.

Overall, pop and rock music are more favourable by more males, teens, and adults, meanwhile, adults over 45 years old prefer classical music rather than other genres. The charts were categorised based on music genres. The bar charts present the numbers of purchased albums based on purchasers' gender and age. People from this age group purchased 20% classic music albums while the rock music albums they purchased amount only 8-10 percentage.įeel free to correct me, I’m learning by myself so I need your help. But a completely different trend can be observed among the British over 45 years who prefer classical music over the rock and pop music. Rock music is also popular than classical music among the 35 to 44 years age group who bought 14% rock music albums compared to the only 3% classical music purchase. 16 to 24 years old British purchased 29% rock music while their percentage for buying classical music is significantly less, only 1%. These people bought only 17% classical music. ![]() This data depicts that more British men purchased music albums than women.Īccording to age group, rock music is more preferred by 25 to 34 years British who purchased around 31% rock music. Similarly 8% Britons female purchased rock music albums while 6% from this same category purchased classical music. It is worth noticing that rock music is more popular among the young people while classical music is preferred by the Britons over 45 years old.Īccording to bar graphs, more than a quarter British males purchased rock music albums while less than 10% preferred classical music. The charts present data on pop, rock and classical music album purchase by different age groups of British male and female. However, please note that this is just one example out of many possible approaches.) ( This model answer can be followed as an example of a very good answer. Opposite to the classic music graph, the interest in rock music keeps falling after people reach their mid-thirties and a sharp fall after the age 45 is visible. From the first graph, it is obvious that interest in pop music seems steady among the population who aged from 16 to 44 and after people turn to 45 years, they continue to buy pop type music albums, the ratio decreases nevertheless.Īmong the Britons of 16 to 34 years old, the rock music is most revered. The market of rock music albums is mainly dominated by men with a purchase record of over 30% compared to 16% purchase done by women. Rock and pop music are more popular among young British while classical among the people over 45 years. In all cases, men purchase more music albums than women did. As is observed, Rock is most popular music type among the three music categories and people purchasing classical music album are mostly over 45 years and male listeners purchased more album than that of females. The three provided graphs represent data on the type of music albums purchased by the different age groups in Britain. Interestingly, British people from 25-34 age group preferred classical music while British citizens from 35-44 did not. However, young Britons were quite less enthusiastic about classical music with their 1-2 percent purchase of the album of this genre. On the other, classical music was most preferred by the people who were over 45 years old and they purchased 20% music albums of this music type. Nevertheless, rock music was the most popular music genre for both male and female prefered pop music. With regards to rock music album purchase, a striking similarity between the purchasing trends of pop and rock music albums could be observed. People over 45 years old were less enthusiastic about pop and rock music while their main interest was classical music. Almost 28% pop albums were purchased by males while this was less than 20% by females. 16-25 years old pop album purchasers stood close to that of 25-34 years old and they combinedly purchased more than 60% pop albums sold in Britain. In pop music, buyers from 16-34 years old were well ahead than other age groups. As a general trend, men were dominant music album purchasers in every kind of music genre. The given charts enumerate the percentage of pop, rock and classical music album purchasers based on their sex and age group in Britain. |
