'Placas: The Most Dangerous Tattoo' by Paul S. Flores at the...
Paul S. Flores' new play, "Placas: The Most Dangerous Tattoo," is riveting. I was sitting on the edge of my seat all through intermission; the drama was that intense and unsettling. Fausto, Edgar's father, spends nine years in prison and upon release decides to have his tattoos removed for his son, whom he doesn't want to follow in his footsteps.

It's been true for a while now, but I'm making it official: Girldrive, as an ongoing presence in the blogosphere, is dead. I will no longer be posting updates, takes on the news, or Your 2 Cents. As much as I have loved maintaining this site for the last four years, I need to concentrate on my new-ish job as associate editor of GOOD (yay!) and other projects and pieces that I have in the wings.
But this doesn't mean that Girldrive the project, or the concept or the spirit or the voice, is dead. The comforting (and scary) thing about the Internet is that it lasts forever. There are hundreds of women in these archives who embody the curiosity and motivation that drove Emma and me to go on Girldrive in the first place. There are important projects, declarations, and stories. These will always be here for all to search.
Thanks to every single person who spoke to us around the country and through the computer, who spread the word, who bought our book, and who decided to get off their asses and hit the road.
Enjoy the ride!

I don't have any wisdom to impart. Personally, a film production is not in my immediate future, although I still cling to the hope that I can make the dream a reality in, say five years time. This topic interests me though. I know a lot of you have made quality shorts and even features at different levels, can some of you share your stories about how you got funding?
[EDIT: I guess changing the subject of my reply doesn't change the actual thread title. You'd think I'd have paid attention at some point within the past 10 years, wouldn't you? JB or someone, little help?][/i]
Last summer, the simultaneous release of Short Term 12, Drinking Buddies and Youre Next on August 23 led Aint Them Bodies Saints director David Lowery to fashion the Indie Film Challenge. Anyone who (virtually) provided Lowery with ticket stubs to all four movies, seen over the course of one weekend, was rewarded with a specialty prize package that included set props and mix tapes. The filmmakers behind Ping Pong Summer, Obvious Child, Lucky Them and Hellion are now expanding on that concept, offering rewards to anyone who sees all four films theatrically or digitally before July 31. If their version feels a bit more free-wheeling than Lowerys, its still a thoughtful gesture in support of independent film.
(though Lowery's coming up with this is fantastic, he deserves props for it)

Spring is taking its time to arrive this year.
— Spring is taking its time to arrive this year.
Backyard bird feeders are still visited by juncos and cardinals, although blackbirds and starlings have shown up as well, and robins hop desolately over frozen lawns.
Nevertheless, spring is finally beginning to show up, and once again Florence Shelly Wetlands Preserve in Thompson will host its two annual bird walks. Dedicated birders and curious amateurs alike will enjoy exploring the woods, fields, and wetlands of the 400-acre preserve as they identify birds by sight and song.
On Saturday, May 11 at 6 a.m., Ron Milliken will present his 26th annual walk in the preserve. Especially popular among birders, this walk focuses on migratory birds. The excursion often lasts the entire morning and covers a wide area of the preserve, so participants can expect to locate between 60 and 65 species. Of course, you are welcome to join even if you are a newcomer to bird-watching, and you may stay as long as you wish.
The following Saturday, May 18 at 7:30 a.m. Evan Mann, a local birder and amateur naturalist, will conduct a leisurely walk around a smaller area of the preserve. Besides identifying birds that are nesting in the preserve's diverse ecological niches, Mann will discuss the habits of the various species spotted.
Diversity is the key to the Shelly Preserve's beauty and value and also the reason it hosts so many species. The brushy meadows are home to tree swallows, wrens and sparrows, while the deep boreal bog attracts eastern bluebirds nesting in dead snags, swamp sparrows and belted kingfishers.
Hawks can be spied hunting in open areas, while the preserve's pristine brook and dense woodlands provide habitats for the northern waterthrush, Baltimore orioles, scarlet tanagers and least flycatchers.
Plews Swamp is the preferred habitat for families of wood ducks, mallards and red-winged blackbirds. Participants can expect to see both familiar species and some surprises.
The two bird walks launch a season of monthly guided walks with local naturalists. Join us on Sunday afternoons at 2 p.m. during the rest of the summer to discover wildflowers (June–date to be announced), butterflies (July 14), a general nature walk (Aug. 11) and trees (Sept. 8).
The two bird walks, like all the walks, begin at the preserve parking lot one mile north of Thompson on Route 171, where Stack Road intersects. The trails may be wet, so wear warm, protective footwear. Don't forget your binoculars, and come prepared to spend a morning — or mornings —exploring the fascinating world of birds. For further information, contact Andy Gardner at 727-3362.

Born during the hardest of times and in one of the poorest areas of Liverpool, Maggie Clarke's life was never destined to be a bed of roses…
But the resilient little girl who spent her childhood in a disease-ridden slum tenement within earshot of the rumbling railways, busy canal routes and clanking dockyards was a true survivor and the story of her rollercoaster life proves as heartwarming as the meaty scouse stew that became her favourite dish.
Still sprightly at the grand age of 96 and always ready with her Scouse humour, Maggie is keen to keep the memories of Liverpool alive through her storytelling and aims to both inform and educate today's younger generations.
And this gritty memoir, co-authored by award-winning journalist Cathryn Kemp and set against the backdrop of Liverpool's docklands community – an area notorious for having the worst slums in Britain and yet the closest community spirit – is both an inspiration and an eye-opener.
In 1931 and at the age of just 11, Maggie found herself the matriarch of the family when her Irish mother walked out on her 'da' and ran off with another man. Maggie, who lived in an overcrowded tenement block where vermin outnumbered the residents, was left to care for her eight-year-old brother Tommy and three-year-old sister Nellie.
Leaving school at 14 to work at Pendleton's Ices, a local factory putting sticks into lollies, Maggie knew she was still needed at her home in Athol Street near the city's teeming docks and was determined to make a better life for herself and her family.
But before long, she was starting her own family with her childhood sweetheart Thomas who she married at 19 after 'falling in the family way.'
As the dark days of the Second World War descended, Maggie had just one night of married life with her husband before he was sent to India with the Navy. What was even more devastating was that Maggie, now the mother of little Rita, never heard from Thomas again and presumed that he was a casualty of the war that was now raging both at home and abroad.
And tragedy struck again when Maggie's brother Tommy was also claimed by the war, leaving her father inconsolable, but for Maggie life went on and she fell in love with Joseph, an Irish settler with whom she had eight children.
But her happiness was short-lived as her first husband Thomas appeared out of the blue demanding a divorce, and her new husband Joseph was drinking away what little money they had, returning in fits of rage that left Maggie and her children hungry and afraid.
Money was tight and on many occasions she was only able to feed her brood by the kindness of neighbours like Cissie in the wash house and Mrs Jones across the corridor who put a 'pan of scouse' on the range for her, or fed her kids jam butties to help out.
And it was the support of these fellow Scousers, who constantly came to her aid and raised her spirits when the going was tough, that gave Maggie the strength to survive against the odds…
Maggie's nostalgic memoir sweeps across the changing face of Liverpool, from its squalid dock streets, tenement blocks and cobbled roads to the decline of the docklands, new council housing and the rise of the Mersey beat and the Beatles.
But it is the energy and passion of the city's poorest people, and their resilience to withstand the heartbreak and hardships, that take centre stage in this moving account of 20th century life.
Maggie moved to London in 1981 to live near her daughter Eileen but it took her a long time to settle and many times she made herself a jam butty 'just for the memory of them' and if she was feeling really homesick for Liverpool, she would 'get a pan of scouse on the cooker.'

Tough Napa family gets help, enjoys freedom again
The story of Donald and Nancy Keen has many layers: It is a love story, a story of family and community and of perseverance.
The couple will celebrate their 50th anniversary in January. Life has been tough the past several years, but they have been tougher.
When things recently became difficult, a helping hand from The Chronicle's Season of Sharing Fund was all they needed to enjoy life at their Napa home again.
The couple met at a USO dance in Philadelphia where Donald, a California native, was serving in the Navy. They moved back and forth between the East Coast and California before eventually settling in Napa. Donald found work hauling supplies to bricklayers and masons, and then became an award-winning car salesman, a top seller of Chryslers, Cadillacs and Subarus in Vallejo.
He was diagnosed with asbestosis way back in 1987 after years in a Philadelphia shipyard, where he says he refurbished a battleship for the Vietnam War while asbestos was flying everywhere.
Breathing became increasingly difficult. Now 70, Donald is on oxygen around the clock. He suffers from diabetes, heart disease and end-stage renal failure, and he requires dialysis four times a week. He has been hospitalized repeatedly.
"I couldn't tell you how many times he's been taken to the hospital," said Nancy, 69, who works at an assisted-care facility near their home. "I couldn't tell you how many times I've been told he wasn't going to make it through the night."
Living in a single-wide mobile home, Donald had trouble walking and needed help getting down the stairs and into a van to get to dialysis. Once, one of his three sons, who lives across town, tried to carry him in a kitchen chair. It didn't go well. Other times, he tried to do it by himself or with his wife's help, and injured himself.
To keep that from happening again, they relied on a local ambulance service. But at $100 per trip, the bill for transportation mounted quickly. Napa firefighters met Donald several times when he was injured or needed help getting in and out of his home, and the Napa City Firefighters Association's community projects team decided to build him a wheelchair ramp. But his mobile home didn't have enough room.
Leg amputated
Then, in May, Donald had to have his right leg amputated. He moved to a larger, double-wide mobile home but needed a wheelchair to get around. The firefighters association began a campaign to get him a portable wheelchair lift. Community Action of Napa Valley contacted The Chronicle Season of Sharing Fund, which bought a top-notch portable ramp that fit the narrow space beside his mobile home. The firefighters association installed the electric lift.
It has made a huge difference. Donald uses it not only for his trips for dialysis but to sit in the yard to watch the squirrels play or make an occasional trip out for dinner. Before the lift, Nancy said, they couldn't afford to pay $200 to get him in and out of the van for an occasional dinner date. They like to dine out, often with their sons, at places such as the Red Hen Cantina and the Mini Garden Chinese Restaurant in Napa.
"Now he has freedom," Nancy said. "Before, he was a prisoner in the house."
Donald says the lift was a gift of mobility and self-assurance.
"Oh, geez, it's helped so much," he said. "It makes things very much easier. It makes it easier for my wife, too."
Eli Cronbach, a Napa firefighter, heads the projects team, which aims to help disabled people and seniors who have trouble getting around, especially in and out of their homes.
"Before that lift was installed, he could not get out of that house by himself," Cronbach said. "Not only was it a mobility issue, but it really was a safety issue, too."
Sister moves in
In addition to the wheelchair lift, the Keens got another boost when they took in his sister, Donna Greer, who was homeless and living in a car after her husband died and she fell victim to a refinancing scam. Donna helps to move Donald, using a manual hoist and cloth sling, between the wheelchair and a recliner, and keeps him company.
"She's my hero," Nancy said. "We're a family."
As appreciative as they are of the wheelchair lift, Nancy said, she and Donald have decided that it's something they should share.
"If anything happens to him and he no longer needs it," she said, "we have decided it goes back to the firefighters association and can go to someone else who needs it as desperately as we do."

Some preparatory demolition work began this week on the Nineteenth Century Club building on Union Avenue while local preservationists started a legal fund to help preserve the historic structure.
The property's current owner, Union Group LLC, acquired a demolition permit Tuesday, July 30, and felled a large tree on the back side of the property.
The demolition permit was issued to B&W Excavating and Trucking. B&W noted on the permit that it was planning for "demo w/excavation & haul debris to landfill."
The activity caused preservation group Memphis Heritage to post an urgent plea on Facebook for help.
"We are asking everyone to be on watch for the guys cutting down the trees at the 19th Century Club," reads a Tuesday Facebook post from the group. "They stopped this afternoon. We are asking them to stop cutting the 100 year old oaks until all avenues are exhausted. There are potential purchasers out there that will reconsider if this natural canopy is destroyed."
The fate of the property, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, has ignited a long-smoldering debate over the proper design and use of property in the city core, pitting everyone from preservationists to architects and community members against the Union Group, which has said it intends to raze the structure and build a commercial property in its place.
Earlier in July, a clearly disappointed General Sessions Div. 14 Judge Larry Potter said the Union Group could move forward with work on the property, after the company submitted a demolition plan and a possible Chancery Court suit challenging the legitimacy and legality of the sale of the property did not materialize.
Potter had previously prohibited the Union Group from taking any action at the property while attorney Webb Brewer explored allegations made by some Nineteenth Century Club members who protested the sale and believed club members, not just the executive committee, were required to vote on the sale for it to be legal.
Brewer said he and the leadership of the American Institute of Architects Memphis asked state Attorney General Robert E. Cooper Jr. to explore if the sale had somehow violated the Tennessee Nonprofit Corporation Act, which Brewer said requires nonprofits to get the approval of the attorney general before disposing of major assets such as the Nineteenth Century Club building.
Memphis Heritage was seeking donations for a legal fund on its website and Facebook page.
"We are collecting donations for legal expenses to prevent the demolition of the 19th Century Club property," Memphis Heritage said in a post.
The regal but decaying property on Union was built in 1907 by Rowland Jones, a Memphis lumber king.
In 1926, the 15,813-square-foot house was acquired by the Nineteenth Century Club, a philanthropic women's organization.
The Union Group acquired the property for $550,000 in January after winning a competitive bidding process, beating out a group that offered $350,000 and wanted to turn the property into a women's business center.
The Nineteenth Century Club is giving the Children's Museum of Memphis $550,000 from the sale to help fund new exhibits.

's Narrative of Conch, admittedly written
much later in life, his level of general education is evidently good. Some
historians have questioned whether he could have related the story to someone
else to write down, but I don't subscribe to that view. Bell
|Bell's signature on a Port Office document, Natal 1861
As a merchant master having dealings with crew and cargo, he had responsibilities: he would have had some commercial grasp of proceedings.
became Port Captain at
he had to write and sign passenger lists and other port documents; he made
written reports on harbour matters, shipwrecks and survey expeditions along the
coast. His handwriting on original documents dating to the 1850s and 60s is
well-formed and there are many examples of his vigorous signature. Natal
He was certainly literate and more than merely that. This isn't quite what one might expect of the son of a labourer. Could he have attended school while he was working his indenture at Maryport? There's no way of knowing whether Ritson was sufficiently motivated to nurture young mariners and craftsmen but he may well have been forward-looking and encouraged them to pursue their studies during apprenticeship. William had an enterprising nature and no doubt took opportunities for self-education.
There's the possibility that he went to a nautical school. Such establishments provided training in aspects of seamanship and could be state-aided, or private charitable institutions often endowed by wealthy philanthropists. Whitehaven, not a million miles from Maryport, offers an example in this regard.
|Whitehaven ca 1854
Matthew Piper, a Quaker, lived frugally and was thus able when he died at the age of 91 to leave a generous bequest for the founding of a school 'for the education of sixty poor boys resident in the town of
or the neighbourhood, in reading, writing, arithmetic, gauging, navigation and
book-keeping.' The school, in the High Street, was built in 1818 and opened in
1822. Before being admitted every boy had to be able to read the New Testament
and be above eight years of age, none being allowed to remain more than five
years. Whitehaven
'Although this school is intended to convey such nautical instruction as shall qualify its pupils to act as mates and masters of vessels, they are not placed under any obligation to go to sea, as the name of the institution may be supposed to imply.'
However, many did become mariners on completion of their time at Piper's
. As well as the school Piper
also left a £1000 bequest, from which the £50 interest created a fund used to provide
soup twice per week (from the soup kitchen in Mill Street) to many families in
dire need of such nourishment; this continued for over 150 years. Marine School
|Pipers Court, Whitehaven, on the site of Matthew Piper's Marine School
There were probably similar nautical schools in other Cumbrian ports such as Workington and Maryport. William Bell may have been the beneficiary of a Charitable Trust like Piper's.
With the large-scale opening up of the seas for imperial trade, merchant mariners required a higher level of education in navigation, nautical astronomy and associated subjects. A coastal mariner could scrape by with slightly less formal training. It wasn't until 1845 that a system of examination for Competency and Service was introduced for all mariners.
By then Ritson, Bell's mentor, was dead: '…1844, John Ritson Esq., late ship builder, after several years' affliction of paralysis, which he bore with great resignation, aged 67 years.'*

Coeval editors, seniors Jud Nelson and Phoebe Netterland meet extracurricularly to discuss the woes

Literary Value
Patterns in Expression. The idea
that all arts share the same ele-ments

of the elements differ.
This suggested "patterns in ex-pression"

Coeval serves the student body
in two basic areas of experi-ence:
individual and social. Be-cause
of the very published
nature of COEVAL it is an out-let
for creativity that gives per-sonal
satisfaction to the contri-butor.
A work in print means a certain
level of achievement; achievement
is incentive. The social experience
of a student is a sharing of inspir-ation
and ideas. On a campus
basis COEVAL a vehicle of com-munication.
The patterns are as many and
varied as the moods and ideas
expressed. In literature an essay
on artistic theory or criticism, a
satire on current problems or con-ditions,
etc., can be as creative
as a poem or short story.
In music a folk song is as valid
a contribution as a full length
symphony. And in art again the
field is wide open: paintings,
sculpture, and photography all
fit under the idea of expression.
The form of the book is defined
by student contribution and its
scope and quality depends on stu-dent

Reviewer Rakes Pseudo-Rationalism
Exercise of Involvement Evident in Anti-Evolutionary Treatise
Opens Creative Leaders
In lieu both of the present situation and function of the
Bethel College Student Senate as well as the pending student
government elections, it is important to examine the role the
student plays governing himself in the campus environment.
Basic to our discussion, we should recognize that offering
responsible functions to students should have the effect of
hastening their maturation and their sensitivity to civic par-ticipation.
This is good theory.
However, the facts reveal that all too often on the
Amercan scene college and university administrations, in
the midst of their declaration of eagerness to give youth
a proper sphere of campus activity, frequently interpret
this "proper sphere" as one far removed from serious and
vital campus decisions.
It is always easy to shepherd the leaders of the student
flock away into a far-removed, sheltered corner of the campus
pasture. If the leaders are there, like sheep, the student flock
will follow. Here they can carry on rather harmlessly, for
after all, anything they should decide that may be contrary
to administrative opinion can be squelched quite easily. Here,
as well, the student government becomes quite docile, and
with little power, insignificant.
Since there is little apparent conflict between student
interest and administrative policy, the educators, therefore,
applaud themselves on the smooth functioning of the school
and the great cooperation between student and administration,
when actually there is, in fact, little room for significant
student opinion.
Samuel B. Gould, Chancellor of the University of Cali-fornia,
Santa Barbara, quite pointedly states that "college
and universities with this approach can always be recognized:
they talk loudly and long about their superiority, boast of
the even and efficient tenor of the campus way, and carefully
eliminate the mavericks. They champion the "well adjusted"
and socially competent product whose major claim to recog-nition
is that he has not been troublesome."
Now, if we assume that the college is basically a labor-atory
for the training of the citizenry, it should be thought
of as a community-structured unit. Hence we call ourselves
the Bethel Community.
The problem, however, as pointed out by Paul Brouwer,
is the fact that often there is a double-cultured group within
the community, the students with their mores and traditions,
and the faculty and administration with their patterns and
customs. The problem of the community is to synthesize these
two standards into one, and this cannot be done without lower-ing
the barriers of faculty-student communication.
In his study, COLLEGE STUDENT GOVERNMENT, Dr.
Gordon Klopf suggests that the areas overlooked both by
administrations and students are the programs in which
they work closely together.
He states, "Committees which deal with student affairs
policies should have adequate student representation. Com-mittees
which are planning new curriculums or evaluating
present curriculums should at least consult students for their
opinions and ideas. College faculties and administrations should
be constantly on the lookout for possible opportunities to
expand the role of the student in administration."
Quite obviously involving students more deeply in ad-ministrative
capacities will be a burden to those faculty and
administration members involved. It may at times be annoying,
especially when it may take twice the time to accomplish a
task because of the student's trial and error method. Hours and
years of experience could have finished it sooner. But this
trial and error method is invaluable to the educative process.
Most important, however, is the fact that the administra-tion
cannot champion one of the salient ingredients of the
democratic process, namely, creative leadership, wtithou;t)

Interview With Madsen
Shows Political Outlook
by Dave Fredine
Q—What do you expect from the
coming elections?
A—As has been the case in the
last three or four years. I think
there will be a scarcity of candi-dates.
The percentage of voters
might increase a little; last year
forty-five percent of the student
body voted. I don't see any auto-matic
winners, so people may rea-lize
the value of each vote. There
are really very few people with
any experience so there's nothing
to keep out interested freshmen.
Q—What changes have you
seen in student government this
A—Senate relations with the
administration ha v e improved
greatly over the last couple of
years. We have had monthly lunch-eon
meetings with the administra-tors
which have broken down
many of the tensions and improved
This year's Senate is composed
of a wider cross-section of the
student body so communication
with students has improved also.
Student opinion of Senate has
waned. Unfortunately, a group
of upperclassmen who are close
friends, call it a clique if you
wish, have carried the ball in
Senate for several years.
Many of the students, freshmen
especially, have felt that they are
unapproachable. However, it was
the student body that elected this
Opinions about student govern-ment
are changing all over. All
of the private colleges in the
Twin Cities are considering con-stitutional
revisions or abolishing
student government all together.
Q—What are some areas that
you think next year's Senate
should be active in?
A—Interests are changing away
from big social functions toward
the academic and the considera-tion
of serious life issues. This is
becoming obvious at Bethel, so
next year's Senate shouldn't spend
much time maintaining the tra-ditional.
Having more evening forums
and more off-campus speakers
would be one way to go about it.
I recently appointed a committee
for freshmen Senators to check
into the possibilities of getting a
coffee house in the neighborhood.
Q—What do you think about
the motion to abolish Senate?
A—It grew out of the feeling,
if I interpret it right, that a large
legislative body doesn't represent
student opinions. Those who sup-port
it seem to think that Senate
ought to do more than plan ban-quets.
The specific proposal was
made to give students a concrete
alternative to a large Senate.
Since there is a reaction against
this proposal, it seems that the
students feel the need for keeping
this kind of representative body.
So, the problem isn't whether or
not to abolish Senate but how to
change it to meet student demands.
Q—What role do you think a
student government can have in
a small college.

students and the student govern-ment
are well-acquainted with the

Playing to a small but respon-sive
audience, the players in the
"Church Militant" showed with
pointed satire the possible out-come
of a world centered church.
The play opens in the chamb-ers
of the Celestial Council where
Saint Paul, John Wesley, and Mar-tin
Luther—Dick Fredrickson, T.H.
Bryant, and Vince Bloom, respec-tively,
are discussing the "desper-ate
condition" of the church. They
have heard reports of the over-organization
and secularization of
the Christian church and must
decide what action should be tak-en.
Paul is sent immediately to in-vestigate
the situation personally.
As Paul enters the church,
he meets the janitor who is
cleaning up after one of the
numerous parties held in the
church the night before. Some-what
alarmed, Paul inquires fur-ther
and is shocked to hear of
"at home" worship through ex-clusive
television coverage and
"take home communion" for the
convenience of the members.
Hearing of the enormous beacon
to be installed on the top of the
church to attract people, Paul re-calls
with irony the commandment
to let our lights so shine among
men. The entire foundation of the
church is based on popular appeal
to the sinning masses supported
by funds raised through all manner
of contests. The distortion is na-turally

The true "brotherly love" of
the members is seen in a heated
debate over a regulation con-cerning
the tours to be given
through the "plant." Thelma,
(Jill Graham) a guide in the
church, is furious that she is not
allowed to take their guest Paul
through the customary tour. The
battle that ensues reveals that
the super-organization and com-petition
of the church tends to
make hash of the whole "spirit-ual
goal" (which incidently, not
one of the members could define
for Paul.)

What should motivate a student
to run for a student government
office? What would be your an-swer
to such a question? Consid-ering
the nearness of Senate elec-tions,
it might be wise for voters
and candidates alike to start ask-ing
this question and other ques-tions
similar to it.
Here are the answers given by
a number of student government
leaders to the question "What
should motivate a student to run
for a student government office?"
Junior Class President Ron Har-ris
says: "The responsibility of
leadership which one encounters
proclaimed, "I thought the church
at Corinth had trouble!"
Because there is little in the
way of properties and only the
simplest costuming, one was able
to concentrate on the script. Also,
the spirited acting of the players
sparked the text into meaningful
conversation to show the point of
the play.
The play admittedly is an exag-geration.
Yet, through this means
it is able to highlight the tenden-cies
of the ever growing church
today. There is little given in the
way of solution, but Paul ended
the production prophetically plead-ing
to God to bring hope. There is
still time to curb the slide toward
the "Church Militant."

in political offices develops the
best qualities in an individual. It
certainly develops patience, which
in Christian circles, is supposed to
be an extremely golden virtue.
Historically speaking, the privilege
to be a part of a democratic
process, however slight, is one not
to be taken lightly."
"Personally, my interests cover
the total academic, social, and spir-itual
climate of our college. I
would like to see students more
actively involved in governing each
of these areas — and for that
reason look to student government
leadership as the logical place in
which to spark this type of total
concern." Jim Keim
"A student should run for a
student government office IF he
sees the necessity of the student's
concerns to be actively presented
to the powers that be (administra-tion)
and IF he feels he can help
see this accomplished." Steve Roe
"Christ's statements concerning
love should be followed on a social
level as well as an individual level.
Mature "agape" implies concern
and responsibility for others. Stu-dent
government provides an op-portunity
for the individual to
concretely express such concern
and responsibility." Kathy Harvie
"Why should one desire to serve
in a student government office?
Maybe for selfish reasons: 1. Cer-tainly
there is some prestige. 2.
One can learn a great deal in plan-ning
programs and in working with
people. 3. The office is noted on
one's permanent record."
However there is more than all
of this. There should be the desire
to serve and the desire to get in-volved
in the activities rather
than to sit in the backgrounds."
Dick Schultz.
"The primary reason for getting
involved in student government
should be based on the individual's
INTEREST for such an organiza-tion."
Roger Waldenstrom
"Student government presents
an opportunity to 1. serve others
and thus serve the Lord, 2. to ex-ercise
and develop any leader-ship
capabilities, 3. to help insti-tute
certain needed changes at
Bethel." Bill Ledbetter
"The ideal student has creative
ideas on how to construct solu-tions
to the everyday aspirations
and problems of his classmates.
He becomes an ideal candidate
when he is willing to sacrifice
personal goals in order to share
his ideas, time and ability to help
realize the goals of the communi-ty."

I wonder if my concept of the man Jesus is ' more than sligthly
distorted. Often I think we imagine Christ as piety personified and
little else. Being human he must have had a human personality —
tend to think it was a bit introverted.
Imagine Christ having to break away from the crowds so often.
They just saw what he did for them physically and missed the point
of why he was really with them. Can't you see him haggard at the
end of the day — disappointed, wondering how to get through to them?
When we read "Suffer the little children to come unto me . . ."
do we picture him kindly patting them on the head? It's my guess he
probably got down and played an early form of jacks with them.
How did Christ act toward his mother? I don't believe there was
any gooey sentiment between them, but he went to her for strength,
I'm sure. At least she understood his purpose and ministry.
Not wanting to bring Christ lower than he was, it's good to realize
that because of his humaness he was not somehow protected by an aura
of divine light surrounding him as he walked through the desert.
He probably got headaches after glaring in the sun all day, and
his feet probably hurt. Yet the fact that he experienced things
just like we do makes him all the more wonderful.
Who is Jesus? I'm going to start studying in light of his humanity
as well as his divinity. I don't think it will "bring him down to my
level" but will make him all the more dear for realizing the implica-tions
of his day to day existence.

Girls playing on the team were
present at the Sports Banquet
held Monday evening for partici-pants
in winter season sports. Six-teen
team members received let-ters,
almost doubling last year's
total of awards. This figure re-flected
an increased number of
participants in the sport this sea-son.
Barb Lindman, sophomore play-er
on the team, was far in the
lead for scorers, concluding the
year with 232 total points. She
was followed by Jan Markel!,
who recorded 111 counters, and
Bev Anderson with 98 points.
Bev also took honors for free
throws, shooting a percentage of
60% of her shots during the sea-son.
Girls on the team voted for Most
Valuable and Most Improved play-ers,
to whom awards were present-ed
at the Monday evening banquet.
Barb Lindman was rated Most Val-uable,
while Marge Rubow and
Sandy Spurgeon, two freshmen
team members, shared the prize
for Most Improved.
On the team scene, the girls
finished ahead of their oppo-nents
in scoring for the season,
tallying an average of 29 points
against 24 for the other teams.
Miss Jean Anderson, who in
her freshman year of coaching
led the way to the team's out-standing
record, was reluctant to
cite one game or tournament as
the highlight of the season. She
did hazard a guess, however.
"Probably the most exciting ex-perience
was on the last clay of
the season, when we played at the
University of Minnesota, defeating
River Falls and Macalester and
losing to the 'U' by one point in
overtime," she said.
Well-planned publicity by team
members resulted in some fair-ly
well-attended games this sea-son.

The student government can in-fluence

0—What do you think the fu-ture
of student government at
Bethel will be like?
A—I think that there will al-ways
be a desire for student gov-ernment
at Bethel. We have had
motions to abolish it in the past.
In '55-'56 a motion to abolish
Senate was put before the whole
student body and was defeated by
only five votes.
The future of student govern-ment
depends on student involve-ment
and the students' willingness
to contribute time and ideas. You
can see the influences of some
students' willingness to work
through the Senate in things like
the Sunday evening Vesper ser-vice,
the missionary project, the
pictured roster, changing dorm
hours, increasing lounge space,
continuing the publication of the
SPIRE and the food service corn-mittee.
The Senate does not lack for
finances, power or opportunity.
The only limitation I can see on
the potential of student govern-ment
at Bethel is lack of stu-dents
who are willing to contri-bute
effort, initiative, and ideas.
The value of next year's Senate
will be forecast by the willingness
of students to run for office and
assume the accompanying respon-sibility.

The significance of all this may be that the phenomena of sports
contributes more to what is termed "Johnny Spirit" than we realize.
True, much is said about the scholar-athlete but this is the case in any
school. What is uniquely present here is the almost total absence of
a sports clique. Our athletic successes belong not to scholarship fra-ternity
Adonises but to men we know, study and live with.
Sports here are more than a headline or a letter jacket; they are
as much a part of St. John's as the education and permeate Collegeville
existence. Sports serve as an adhesive and if and when St. John's
becomes a "weekend" school the apathy will strike first in athletics.
Not that we won't have our share of championship teams but the
seams of intra-athletics will come apart under the influence of mobility.
As a consequence, St. John's will witness, to a large extent, the break-up
of whatever else constitutes Johnny Spirit. Gone will be the factor
of healthy sports, the major deterrent to stale academic competition.
Thus, I think when one discusses or reflects upon what St. John's
is and will be, he should realize that pride in our athletic structure
is as justified and important as our church and our academic training.
The importance of sports here is a fact and a very valid one.
Without the laudable esprit de corps, the sense of physical as well as
mental accomplishment that exists, St. John's just wouldn't be what
it is. Consequently, the attempts to expand the academic aspects shouldn't
outstrip that of the athletic in either attitude or facilities. This respon-sibility
belongs to everyone. Too much will be lost in an apathetic

Has anyone ever asked you that question? I'm not talking about getting rich online, or get rich quick schemes, I'm talking about simply explaining how you are able to earn some extra income online.
I've been thinking about this topic over the holidays for a couple of reasons. One was a twitter comment the other day suggestion that my site was about some get rich quick schemes online.
If I haven't been clear about that, this blog is not about getting rich quick. It takes time and effort to make money from a blog.
In my case, I would describe blogging as a profitable hobby, since I work full time and run this blog on the side. Nonetheless, I have found some ways to make this blog support itself and generate spending cash for myself.
Although, I'm not making tons of money, I am happy with the progress I've made in the few short months.
A Christmas Dinner Conversation
What really prompted this post is a conversation I had with a friend over the holidays.
Earlier this week, I was blogging on location with my family, visiting relatives and friends for the holidays.
So, it was that one evening, we ended up having dinner with a few friends. After dinner, I was chatting with one of our friends about our respective hobbies.
My son was having a blast running around with the other kids, and my wife was engrossed in conversation with her other friends around the dinner table. Desserts were being passed around and the conversation was lively.
At one point, my conversation turned technology: our respective gadgets, video games, televisions, and then to blogging.
Though my friend was more tech savvy than I, he found it interesting that I was running a blog. Questions turned towards how a blog can generate money.
So I told him a few of the methods that I had discovered.
This is a summary of our conversation:
Starting a Blog
One of the first things he asked was what platform I used to run my blog. And specifically, he asked if I used wordpress.
I find that almost everyone who has even considered running a website has heard of wordpress. It has really become a pillar for the blogging community.
I myself do run wordpress. There are big advantages to using a popular platform. There's a lot of support for the platform in the form of upgrades, bug fixes, and plugins. All of which help in running a blog smoothly.
Of course, the questions about wordpress naturally turned to how I host my blog. He mentioned that he had tried out blogspot a while back, and asked if I used that platform.
While, I started out on blogspot, I found that there are many more advantages to self hosting.
The two advantages that outweigh all others are that you have complete control over your website and that you can have your own domain.
These two features are invaluable and well worth the small expense of self hosting.
You can read more about some web hosting options here.
How do I make money?
Now came the big question. How do I make money with a blog?
Affiliate programs
I started by explaining that there are many services and products that have partnership type programs. These programs will pay out a portion of revenues that you generate for them when you promote their services.
Google adsense
Of course, he had heard about adsense and asked me about whether I use this program.
Actually, I don't use adsense on Riches Corner. My feeling on this is that adsense has the affect of taking visitors away from my blog for a few cents. I would rather people stay and read my content.
For the sake of diversity, I do use Chitika. My reasoning being that Chitika displays far fewer ads than adsense, since it only shows up to targeted visitors that arrive at my blog from a search engine.
My feeling is that this diversifies my income stream, while being minimalistic at the same time. Also, Chitika also provides tiered revenue from my sub-affiliates, which allows another passive income stream.
At this point, since I've set up Chitika to default to a collapsed mode, my revenue is very minimal.
My Job Board
One of my favorite incomes streams is my job board. My job board provides a valuable resource for my blob readers by providing a source of work at home projects.
At the same time, it serves as a consistent source of passive income for Riches Corner.
I am very happy with the features provided by Donanza for my job board. It aggregates a large backfill of projects from reliable sources, so the board is always populated. The search engine allows users to filter and search for jobs that meet their own criteria.
I can set my own prices for users to post projects on my board. In addition, I have full control over offering promotional deals.
Finally, this was one of the few services that pays out when someone posts a job, as well as paying me a small referral fee when users apply for jobs through my board.
The first month of this blogs existence, I did not see much income from the job board. However, this resource does bring in traffic to the blog. In November, I saw a jump in my revenue, and I can see a consistent rise in people using the job board.
This is my revenue so far in the couple of months of running the job board:
As you can see, this is revenue entirely from clickthroughs as I have not received any project postings as yet. This is to be expected as this is a new blog. As I get more traffic and more people applying, I anticipate the revenue to increase.
Overall, I'm very pleased with the progress of my job board, as it's only been implemented on this blog for just over 2 months.
This is where I signed up to get my Donanza Job Board.
My third source of income, I will put in the broad category of twitter and social networking in general.
Twitter is an invaluable resource for me, as I tweet out my new and old posts, bringing visitors to my blog.
In addition, I can route my job board's rss feed to my twitter stream, broadcasting all the work at home project opportunities to my followers. I would say at least half the clickthroughs for my project opportunities come from twitter.
Also, a little used resource for amazon associates, I can route amazon rss feeds tagged with my associates id to my twitter stream. This has vastly increased the amount of clickthroughs that I get on my amazon associates account.
Now, more directly, I've also joined some twitter advertising programs such as Sponsored Tweets and Mylikes. Both programs pay out whenever someone clicks on an ad that you tweet out.
At this point, Mylikes is my most consistent source of income. Mylikes pays out directly to my paypal account every Friday. At this point, I've been using Mylikes for exactly 1 month. I'm looking to earn about $35 in this first month. Averaging just under $10 per week.
While it's not a lot of money, it's consistent. So far, I'm very happy with my results from Mylikes as it's only been one month and I've made money with their program.
Am I going to get rich?
As you can see, these aren't mind numbing numbers.
The first month of blogging, I didn't make any money. However, I came into it expecting that it would be slow in the beginning.
The second month, I saw a few dollars trickle in and I began to see some search engine traffic.
However, by my third month, I'm seeing more of an upturn in traffic. This was due to more consistent traffic to my blog and my job board. Also this was the month I joined Mylikes, which helped a lot in terms of consistency. In this month, I've recouped my initial expense that I paid for a year of hosting and I've made some extra cash.
Based on the pattern, I anticipate that my passive income streams will increase in revenue over the coming months.
In addition, I have some product ideas in the works, and hope to see good results from them in the coming months.
Is that all? Then why Blog for income?
Some of you may ask, why blog for $50-100 a month? Well, the answer lies in the process.
As I mentioned, I'm basically doing this on hobby time. I spend a little time after work and on the weekends. In layman's terms, I'm basically doing this on a 4 hour work week. In addition, so far, I'm looking at consistent upturns in profit each month.
Look at other businesses. Statistically, 90% of businesses fail in the first year. Yet, look at the outlay of cash and the monthly expenses it takes to run a traditional business. If I decided to go out and open up a shop and pop in for a few hours a week, I would be bleeding thousands of dollars.
However, I'm can enjoy the time I spend on this blog and my expenses at this point is going to be $42 a year for web hosting. I can essentially cover a year's worth of expenses in a single month.
Finally, the answer is even more simple than simply earning money. I enjoy the process of blogging.
I'm learning a new skill and gaining knowledge. At the same time, I'm offering a resource that can help out others.
If you follow along with Riches Corner, you'll notice that the majority of the programs that I discuss are free to join.
I could earn more, pushing more paid products, but I enjoy providing value to the community much more.
So am I going to get Rich Online?
Maybe some day. But right now, I can say that I'm profitable. I'm earning income from this Riches Corner.
Along they way, I can pass on what I've learned, help my readers create a profitable blog, and help some find some good work at home freelance projects along the way.

Record Store Day Chart Recap: Vinyl Album Sales Reach Historic High
By Keith Caulfield, Los Angeles
Record Store Day (RSD) shakes up Billboard's charts, as a bevy of albums and singles released for the indie retail event on April 19 overwhelm our lists.
On the 25-position Tastemakers chart -- which tracks the top-selling albums at independent and small chain stores -- only three albums weren't specifically tied to RSD festivities. The chart (excerpted below) is led by Green Day's 18-track "Demolicious" album, which was released exclusively to indie retailers on CD, vinyl and cassette. (Yes, cassette.)
It sold nearly 4,000 copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Of that sum, 42 percent were CD, 42 percent were vinyl LPs and 16 percent were cassettes. "Demolicious" will become available to digital retailers on May 19, but its physical configurations will remain exclusive to indie sellers for the time being.
INDIE RULES: Independent stores represented 19.4 percent of all physical albums sold in the week ending April 20 (605,000 of 5.3 million) -- likely the highest share of physical albums for the indie sector since SoundScan started tracking sales in 1991.
Billboard's Tastemakers Albums
(chart dated May 3, reflecting sales in the week ending April 20)
1. Green Day, "Demolicious" (Reprise/Warner Bros.)
2. Beck, "Morning Phase" (Fonograf Records/Capitol)
3. Childish Gambino, "Because the Internet" (Glassnote)
4. The Afghan Whigs, "Do To the Beast" (Sub Pop)
5. Notorious B.I.G., "Life After Death" (Bad Boy/Rhino)
6. Various Artists, "The Space Project" (Lefse/Fat Possum)
7. Bruce Springsteen, "American Beauty" (EP) (Columbia)
8. Grateful Dead, "Hampton Coliseum: Friday May 4, 1979" (Grateful
9. Nas, "Illmatic" (Columbia/Legacy)
10. Jake Bugg, "Live at Silver Platters: Seattle WA, January 20, 2014" (EP) (Virgin/EMI/Jake Bugg/Island)
(The week's top-selling albums based on an influential panel of stores comprised of independent retailer coalitions and smaller regional chains. Titles are ranked by sales data as compiled by Nielsen SoundScan. Full chart viewable at billboard.biz.)
VITAL VINYL: Overall vinyl album sales also hit a SoundScan-era high in the week ending April 20, as 369,000 LPs were sold. That easily beats the previous record, logged with 295,000 LPs in the week ending Dec. 22, 2013. (A year ago, RSD helped yield 244,000 vinyl LPs sold in the week ending April 20, 2013.)

3. Notorious B.I.G., "Life After Death" (Bad Boy/Rhino)
4. Bruce Springsteen, "American Beauty" (EP) (Columbia)
5. The Jimi Hendrix Experience, "Live At Monterey" (Experience
6. Grateful Dead, "Hampton Coliseum: Friday May 4, 1979" (Grateful
7. Tame Impala, "Live Versions" (Modular/Interscope/IGA)
8. Joy Division, "An Ideal For Living" (EP) (Warner UK/Rhino)
9. The Flaming Lips, "7 Skies H3" (Lovely Sorts Of Death/Warner Bros.)
10. The Ramones, "Meltdown With the Ramones EP" (Sire/Rhino)
(The week's top-selling vinyl albums, ranked by sales data as compiled by Nielsen SoundScan. Full chart viewable at billboard.biz.)
SINGLES ACTION: In terms of singles sales -- a normally dormant retail category -- there were 104,000 physical singles sold in the week ending April 20. That's up 68 percent compared with the haul a year ago (62,000) and up 1,200 percent from the week ending April 13 (8,000).
On the Hot Singles Sales chart, the tally is livened up by RSD, as all 25 titles are affiliated with RSD. (We have excerpted the top 10, below.) The chart is topped by Nirvana's 7-inch vinyl single "Pennyroyal Tea" (3,000 sold). The single was originally planned to be released in 1994, but was withheld in the wake of Kurt Cobain's death.
Billboard's Hot Singles Sales
(chart dated May 3, reflecting sales in the week ending April 20)
1. Nirvana, "Pennyroyal Tea" (Sub Pop/Geffen/Interscope)
2. Devo/The Flaming Lips, "Gates of Steel" (Live) (Warner Bros./Rhino)
3. The Cure/Dinosaur Jr., "Just Like Heaven" (Fiction/Elektra/Rhino)
4. David Bowie, "1984" (Parlophone/Rhino)
5. Love/Rush, "7 and 7 Is" (Elektra/Rhino)
6. Frank Zappa, "Don't Eat the Yellow Snow" (Zappa/UMe)

9. Fleetwood Mac, "Dragonfly" (Reprise/Warner Bros./Rhino)
10. Garbage With Brody Dalle, "Girls Talk" (Stun Volume)
(The week's top-selling physical singles -- and digital bundles -- ranked by sales data as compiled by Nielsen SoundScan. Full chart viewable at billboard.biz.)
The titles at Nos. 2, 3, 5 and 7 are part of Warner Music Group's Side By Side series, where the same song is performed by two artists (the original performer, plus a later cover). The Love/Rush title was sold as a "mystery artist" single, where the contents of the single were hidden from the customer's view until after purchase.
Some notable entries outside of the top 10 on Hot Singles Sales include: The Black Keys' CD single "Fever/Turn Blue" at No. 12 (both songs are from the band's forthcoming new studio set, "Turn Blue"), Ray Parker Jr.'s "Ghostbusters" (on glow-in-the-dark 10" vinyl) at No. 18 and One Direction's "Midnight Memories" (on 7" vinyl picture disc) at No. 21.

WACO, Texas (AP) Take a glance at the total offense leaders in the Bowl Subdivision and there is a Baylor quarterback at the top. Same for passing yards per game.
Without looking at names, it'd be easy to think those are leftover lists from last season, before Robert Griffin III won the Heisman Trophy and left early for the NFL.
Nope, those are the latest statistics.
While Nick Florence has never tried to be like RG3 - ``I'm not 6-3, 6-4, and I don't run a 4.3,'' the 6-foot-1 senior said - his numbers this season are very comparable to what Griffin did with the Bears.
``He's been masterful quite honestly, and not surprisingly to us because of his personality and his demeanor and his mindset,'' coach Art Briles said. ``We didn't ask him to be Robert, because nobody can be. What we asked him to do was just take his drive and his talents and fit it into our system.''
Through nine games, Florence has more yards passing (3,191 to 3,093), one more rushing touchdown (six to five) and has been sacked five times less than Griffin at the same point last season. The wins just haven't come as frequently for the Bears (4-5, 1-5 Big 12), who are still trying to get bowl eligible.
They play Saturday night at home game against second-ranked Kansas State (10-0, 7-0), the No. 1 team in the BCS standings. It is a matchup of the quarterback who replaced the Heisman Trophy winner against Wildcats quarterback Collin Klein, this year's Heisman front-runner.
Griffin, the Washington Redskins rookie starter, said he's proud that Florence is having his chance this season as Baylor's quarterback.
``He's put in a lot of hours. He was there just as long as I was, so it's good to see that,'' Griffin said. ``They've got K-State coming up, so it'll be interesting. I look forward to seeing him go and be successful.''
While Baylor has certainly made some changes in an offense that lost Griffin, along with the leading rusher and leading receiver from a 10-win team that sent five offensive players into the NFL draft, the basis of Briles' system stayed intact.
``It's little things here and there that we've changed and morphed,'' said Florence, who averages 395 total yards per game. ``It's not drastic, there's all these little things that make other things better now. ... We still do a lot of the same stuff, but it's just adding different wrinkles and shades to it.''
Florence started seven games as a true freshman in 2009 after Griffin sustained a season-ending knee injury.
The original plan was for Florence to redshirt last season and have two years of eligibility left. But when Griffin had concussion-like symptoms against Texas Tech, Florence threw for 151 yards and two touchdowns after halftime as the Bears won that game.
``Just knowing him as a person and knowing where his mind is, I think that he was probably one of the few candidates that could come in and have done what he was asked to do, which is replace the most prolific player ever in the history of this school,'' Briles said
Like Klein, Florence has accounted for 31 touchdowns this season. Florence has thrown 25, with at least two in every game until last week, and run for another six scores. Klein has 19 rushing TDs, including two last week at TCU, and 12 passing scores.
``He has experience, that's what gets overlooked. He has so much experience in that system and has been through it year in and year out, he understands the system, he manages the ballgame quite well,'' Kansas State coach Bill Snyder said. ``He's a very balanced quarterback. He can run it, he can throw it.''
Even after receiver Kendall Wright was a first-round draft pick, Baylor has the nation's leading receiver in Terrance Williams (159 yards per game).
``Nick has handled himself very, very well, because to me, I don't really see a big drop off from Robert from the passing standpoint,'' said Wright, who worked several days a week with Florence this summer after they had been on the second-team offense in practice in the past.
Florence, sporting a beard that he started growing in May and hasn't trimmed for two months, is working on a master's degree in business administration that he's scheduled to complete in December 2013.
As far as his Baylor football career, he has at least three games left. Hopefully four.
``The fans here have been great, I don't think they've compared me to (Griffin) once. I'm different,'' Florence said. ``If I try to compare and try to be like him, I'm going to fail completely. ... It just comes from my faith and my identity in Christ. For me, whatever I do on or off the field, I'm a winner in Christ, so I think that's the way I approach the game.''
AP Sports Writers Joseph White from Ashburn, Va., and Dave Skretta from Manhattan, Kan., contributed to this report.

Nestlé UK and Ireland
Today, Nestlé UK & Ireland is the first major confectioner to announce its entire Easter egg packaging is 100% recyclable by replacing rigid plastic with cardboard in its mug eggs.
With Easter eggs creating 3,000 tonnes of UK waste each year*, the manufacturer of SMARTIES®, KIT KAT® and AERO® Easter eggs, has become the first major confectioner to remove plastic packaging from all its eggs – the culmination of a six year process that has saved 726 tonnes of plastic waste going to landfill per year**.
The last products to become 100% recyclable were the YORKIE®, MUNCHIES® and KIT KAT® Easter eggs which include a branded mug. The 48 tonnes of plastic used to secure the mug and egg has been replaced with recyclable cardboard certified by the Forest Stewardship Council and a compostable film for the windows resulting in a 30% reduction in packaging in the mug eggs. In 2011, 100 tonnes of plastic was removed across the entire range.
David Rennie, Managing Director, Nestlé Confectionery UK & Ireland, said:
"Nestlé carefully considers the environmental impact of packaging as an integral part of its product design. Since the early 1990s, we have been reducing the amount of packaging we use through our global source reduction programme – eliminating unnecessary packaging and reducing weight while ensuring product quality."
The Easter egg packaging news comes only two weeks after Nestlé Confectionery UK became the first major confectioner to achieve no artificial colours, flavours and preservatives in any of its range.
Helen Bingham, campaign manager for Keep Britain Tidy said:
"Nestlé's achievement in becoming the first major confectioner to create 100% recyclable Easter egg packaging is a great step forward for the confectionery industry and we hope that other manufacturers follow their lead. The new packaging will prevent over 700 tonnes of waste going to landfill this Easter. This reinforces Keep Britain Tidy's 'Love Where You Live' campaign aims, which are to encourage communities and businesses to take responsibility for minimising their impact on the environment."
Richard Swannell, Director of Design and Waste Prevention, WRAP said:
"WRAP welcomes Nestlé's commitment to optimise Easter egg packaging while also increasing its recyclability. It is packaging innovation like this that helps consumers minimise and recycle their waste effectively."
