"The basic premise of the event is that hunters hunt rattlesnakes from the surrounding environment all across West Texas, and bring them into the roundup for the weekend. And during the roundup, these snakes are kept in a pit and then, one by one, beheaded and skinned in front of in front of audiences." - Elizabeth MeLampy Elizabeth MeLampy is a lawyer dedicated to animal rights and protection, and her passion for this work shines through in her latest book, Forget the Camel, the Madcap World of Animal Festivals and What They Say About Being Human . To research the book, Elizabeth traveled across the country, immersing herself in a wide range of animal festivals — from the Iditarod dog sled race to the rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater, Texas. Elizabeth examines these festivals as revealing microcosms of our broader relationship with animals. Whether it's rattlesnake hunts, frog-jumping contests, ostrich races, or groundhog celebrations, these events reflect the ways humans use animals to express cultural identity, community pride, and historical traditions. Yet beneath the pageantry and excitement lies a deeper question: Is our fascination with these spectacles worth the toll it takes on the animals involved? With compassion and insight, Elizabeth invites readers to consider whether there’s a more ethical and empathetic way to honor our stories — one that respects both animals and the traditions they inspire. Please listen, share and read, Forget the Camel. It will be released on April 8th, 2025. https://apollopublishers.com/index.php/forget-the-camel/…

A new study suggests sugary fruit juices and fizzy drinks may be linked to a higher likelihood of strokes. The findings, from global research studies by University of Galway and McMaster University Canada, found that both fizzy ‘soda pop’ beverages, either with sugar or artificially sweetened, increase stroke risk by 22%, and fruit juices by 37%. And bad news for coffee lovers, too: It was also found that drinking more than 4 cups of per day also appears to increase stroke risk. The good news is that those who enjoy sparkling water can sip easy, since this study refers specifically to sugary drinks. According to a survey, using an Android phone could be impacting your dating life.

GUYS ARE MORE AFRAID OF THE DENTIST _ In a survey, 49 percent of dentists said males are more anxious when it comes to dental appointments, while only 15 percent thought females were the scaredy-cats. FOOD WASTE TOTALING 1.3 BILLION TONS ENDS UP IN LANDFILLS _ How much food are we wasting? Are you sitting down? According to a report (from the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations) every year nearly 1.3 billion tons of food ends up in landfills. That’s close to $1 trillion worth of food. The U.S. wastes close to $190 billion in food each year. MATH – BY THE NUMBERS: A new poll says that one-third of adults experience anxiety when they’re forced to – do math. The study of 3,000 adults in the UK found that almost a third (29%) actively try to avoid anything to do with numbers and data. And with recent inflationary pressures, and the increasing cost of living putting greater pressure on people’s math skills in order to make ends meet, 29% also said this affects their mental wellness. And why do some of us find working with numbers so difficult? More than half said they stopped studying math in school as soon as they were allowed to. And 66% said they have to agree that you don’t realize how important math skills are until you need them to navigate your daily life.

DO YOU WASH YOUR FEET IN THE SHOWER? _ Someone asked on social media: “Do you wash your feet in the shower? I mean, like, directly lather them up with soap and rinse them off while you’re taking a shower? If so, how do you do it?” TOPIC: Are the feet something you need to wash? Soapy water flows down your body into the shower basin. I (YOU) think you should wash your feet but to each his own. If you don’t are you also the type of person who doesn’t feel the need to wash the naval? Or behind the ears? HOW LONG THE AVERAGE PERSON WILL STICK WITH A HOBBY _ The shelf-life of a hobby is just 16 months. Researchers who polled 2,000 adults identified work commitments, busy family life and lack of motivation as the reasons we don’t stick with interests for longer. 25 percent of adults have quit a hobby having never used any of the items or accessories they purchased especially for it. For those with a hobby, the average person will dedicate 245 hours a year to it — more than 10 days over a 12-month period. 21 day no sugar video doing really well!

It contains lots of amenities, including campgrounds, disc golf course, equestrian facilities, archery range, off-leash dog park, bicycle/jogging roadway, nature trails, exercise trails, ball fields, an event pavilion , picnic pavilions, playground, and swimming lakes 1. We were surprised at how many trails were actually within the park. 2. The park had an RV/Camping area, that we remembered we almost stayed there when we first came out to live in Florida but there were no vacancies. Lessons Learned Quality was bad. Have both cameras in the same mode or when downloading it would only allow the majority of filming in the lessor quality. So Jason had his phone set on 1080p and therefore our final video had to be in 1080p which made playback on a tv screen really blurry. It was a lesson learned to have both cameras set the same. I had bought a camera holder for my bike, however the arm was too short. Every time I would try and get on and off the bike, it would hit the camera. It also had to be tilted in a way that I really couldn’t see what I was filming. It was our first time videoing while riding bikes. I was overly concerned about the camera falling off. I felt like I couldn’t ride the bike, how I would normally ride.The shots look like I can’t ride a bike lol. When in fact Jason and I have done serious bike trials in the past. 4. This adventure takes a lot of time to set up because you have to pack more things before you can go, similar to the kayak adventures. Fun Facts-Turkey Creek Kayak Adventure Here are some fun facts about Turkey Creek Sanctuary in Palm Bay, Florida: Wildlife: The sanctuary is home to many species of native Florida wildlife, including manatees, alligators, gopher tortoises, and bobcats. Birds: The sanctuary is part of the Great Florida Birding Trail, and is a major stopover for migratory birds like ospreys, owls, woodpeckers, and purple martins. Creek: Turkey Creek is a major tributary of the Indian River Lagoon. The creek is brackish, with a natural brown color from tannins in oak leaves. Sand dunes: The sanctuary is built on a small section of an ancient Atlantic Ocean dune that may be over 2,000 years old. Boardwalk: The sanctuary has a 1.85-mile boardwalk that winds through the sanctuary's wet and moist hammocks, and sand pine scrub communities. Kayaking Turkey Creek We were surprised at how beautiful it was but also how creepy it made us feel. The further you went down the more dense foliage and canopy coverage the more isolated we felt. There was a lot of big fish popping out of the water. Jason later found out that is was bass fish. There was one point where the kayak rolled over onto something very large underwater that popped up around us in the footage. Lessons Learned Learning the area a little better before we Kayak down the river lol, we got lost a couple times. Also read more reviews looking for issues with kayaking in general. Some of the areas had lots of fallen trees in the water causing issues of getting the kayak stuck. I think people take for granted when you are watching video and what it takes for people to work together to make the video. Working together requires, listening and problem solving all while you are filming. I didn’t realize how much comes into play. Having a really good idea of what you are filming, who, what, when and where. We are learning how to tell a story. Close Call on the Trail: A Biking Adventure Nearly Gone Wrong…
