Medwhump May- Day 10

(Hi there, I'm sorry guys, I'm a little behind. Life's just having a blast on my account and additionally my head won't grant me the release through writing, I could really use right now, so duh.)

Emergency surgery

Part 10 (all others here)

"Lets roll!" The doc barked and with a more soothing, but still loud tone, he added. "You're not dying today, hunny!"

Electricty jumped through the lifeless body and made her jolt on the table. Hands reached up like a ghost was making them, but fell back a brief moment later. Nothing. She was still dead, even though her heart was fibrillating.

"Again!" The doctor yelled. "Clear." Her body flipped again. Still nothing.

"Come on hunny, fight for us!" His jaw was clenched, when he pressed out the words in a tight mubble. "AGAIN!"

Her body jolted, her arms kept laying a bit awkwardly bend, where they fell. Her legs the same, feet fallen to the sides.

"We got a hearbeart!" The grey haired nurse informed the room a moment later.

The little blond came running back, her footsteps getting loud. "OR 3 is ready. Dr. Watson is just scrubbing in." She exhaled out of breath.

The doctor looked from the little blond nurse back at his team, one hand as if steadying his patient on the young woman's shoulder, the other was moving the chest piece of his stethoscope. "Push amiodarone and then get her on the way to OR 3, please." His tone wasn't as loud as before, but still commanding.

Doc Watson greeted his colluege with a tight nod. "Young female, routine surgery, but she coded on the table. Not sure why till now. Just woke up and we almost lost her again. She's got a pneumothorax left, but decreasing lungfunction on the right side, too. Wouldn't wanna place a chest tube then, but we need to hurry. I suspect a broken rib pierced her left lung due to resus."

"Alrighty. X-ray tech is on her way."

The doctor from the icu left after their short briefing. The young female patient was prepared, preped up under fluorenze lights, equipment attached, being manually ventilated through the et tube down her pipe. O2 stats critically low, but still holding.

In a calm tone the surgeon was instructing his team, what to do and what he needed. An assisting nurse wipped the woman's left side of her ribcage with desinfection. The scalpel was handed over and the man in charge made a vertical cut between 2 lower ribs. Blood welded up and started to flow down her flank. The nurse was back with wipes to garantee a clear view for the surgeon.

The room was calm and professional, when the surgeon pushed his gloved index finger inside the woman's chest through the fresh incision. Her oxygen level dropped and her fast heartbeat sped up more. "You're alright, hunny. We got ya!" The man whispered, pulling his finger out and inserting a flexible tube, one of the assisting nurse had already unpacked from its steril wrapper.

Everything was covered in the woman's blood. The surgeon left fresh red prints on the end of the tube, when he uncapped it.

Blood boobled out instantly. Numbers and monitors were hectically blinking, her heartbeat a fast jumble. An audible hissing tone as air escaped her chest cavity, that had preventing her lungs from expanding.

Tense seconds and her chest literally inflated all by itself. The nurse ventilating her manually exhaled loudly and with every second passing, the patients vitals were climbing again.

They gave her a minute, having a close eyes on her stats. "Looking good." The surgoen annouced.

The x-ray tech was just rolling her cart into the OR. The doctor's suspicion was right. Due to her resuscitation a bunch of ribs were broken or cracked. One had shifted, not traceable when, and pierced her left lobe.

The surgeon called for another assistent and they expanded the already inflicted incision to repair the damage. It was tough and go, her vitals made a ride on a rollercoaster look like a slow walk through the park.

But they got her and made sure, to give her a fighting chance to survive this days, that started out as merely a routine surgery. After another hour, the surgeons had added a new line of black sutures to her belly, closing the entry wound to fixate that rib and seweing the chest tube in place.

Hippie Gazelle

“UGGHHHH!!”

“And that is the mating call, of the wild Pop-star. Her frustration is clear in the tone of her call, unfortunately relief is nowhere in sight.”

Gazelle scowled and tossed a crumpled piece of paper at the head of the tiger who had just spoken.

“That was the worst impression of David Anteater I have ever heard.”

Grumbling under her breath the pop star stood up and wandered over to the fridge for a drink. Popping the top off her beer she smiled as she took a sip…if only the public knew what a day in the life of the Number One Pop-Star was like.

One gazelle dressed in an overly large t-shirt and short-shorts and four tigers lounging and sprawled on a couch playing video games. Free weights scattered around the area, junk food wrappers discarded next to protein shakes and leaning towers of fast-food cartons. Clothes in various stages of cleanliness scattered across all surfaces, even vertical ones…

“How is that shirt staying stuck to the wall?”

Four sets of eyes turned to look at where she was gesturing with her bottle. Turning back to the ungulate four sets of tiger shoulders shrugged.

“No idea, that’s one of yours though isn’t it?”

Looking closer Gazelle nodded, it was in fact one of her shirts…

“What’s the matter babe? You sound more frustrated than usual.” Leon asked as he stood up and stretched with a low growl as his character died in the video game.

Gazelle watched as one of her long-time friends walked over clad in nothing but a loose pair of basketball shorts. Smiling she held her arms out for hug, Leon always gave the best hugs. Feeling the large and smoothly muscled form of the feline impact her and sweep her off her feet Gazelle laughed as she was swung from side to side. Nuzzling into the warm fur and hard muscles for a bit Gazelle sighed as she was placed back on her feet, though she didn’t let go of the big hug bug.

“I’m frustrated Leo, every song I come up with sounds like my last three. Every new show I think of feels like a re-make of the one before the last and our fans deserve better than that.”

The purr she felt rumble through her made her smile, it was like hugging a big furry rumbling pillow…

“Oh mi amore, I never get tired of you calling them our fans and not your fans. They come to enjoy your music, your voice…my brothers and I just dance to your music.”

So saying the large tiger began to drag and swing the smaller ungulate around into an exaggerated ballroom dance as his high-school friend giggled and laughed. Feeling herself be set down she began to move along with the large feline, closing her eyes Gazelle let her mind begin to wander as she moved with the old and familiar movements. Memories of the old days began to flow through her mind…

Memories of celebrating with her boys as they made the top of the charts, memories of popping cheap champagne as they made the charts in the first place, memories of taking every venue they could book and sleeping in a large pile in their van since they couldn’t afford a permanent residence…memories of singing in her parent’s garage and her bedroom or in the choir at school.

“I…think…” She started slowly as she tried to work through her thoughts.

“I think I need to take a break…” Slowing to a stop she looked up at the amused and slightly confused expression on Leon’s face.

“Take a break?”

“Yeah…I think I need a vacation, I need to get back to where I came from and remember why and how I got where I am.”

Leon smiled as he threw the pop star into a ballroom spin with a laugh before pulling her back and tossing her at his brothers as they turned to see what the commotion was.

“AACKK!”

Gazelle couldn’t help but laugh with nerves and excitement as she was caught by a net of large paws and strong arms before being lowered into a pile of purring and laughing stripped forms. Squirming and laughing as she was tickled and tossed around Gazelle soon enough found herself laying on top of a pile of tigers. Reaching down she absently stroked her hoof over Sean’s ears and smiled as his purring grew deeper. Jerking slightly at a notification from her phone she tapped Antonio who flicked Robert’s ear who then reached over to the table with Gazelle’s phone and began to pass it back to her, the tiger’s moving with the fluidity and ease of long practice. Smiling as her phone was passed from one tiger to the next until it was passed to her Gazelle smiled even wider as she saw who the notification was from.

“I got a text from Giselle!”

Happy Preservation Week! (Part 4 :)

Hello again, and Happy Preservation Week, everyone!

This is Part 4 of our Preservation Week 2021 blog series. If you missed Part 1, Part 2 or Part 3, feel free to check them out first!

In Parts 2 & 3 I described two treatments that illustrate the ways in which conservation and preservation can be applied to old / extremely old library books. Today, I’ll focus mainly on preservation, and why we sometimes choose not to conserve an object.

Last November, I had the opportunity to preserve an unusual piece of photographic history: a small, mid-19th century wooden box containing 24 unexposed Daguerreotype plates (Photos 1-2). The Daguerreotype was invented by Louis Daguerre around 1839, and it was one of the first commercially viable processes that made photography and portraiture more accessible to the general public. Daguerreotypes were commonly produced until about 1860, when they were replaced with less expensive photographic processes, like the Ambrotype and the tintype.

Each Daguerreotype plate is made from a very thin sheet of copper, which is covered with an even thinner layer of highly polished silver (Photo 1). The wooden box that the plates were issued in originally contained 72 plates. The box’s longer walls have 36 vertical channels cut into them, allowing two plates to be inserted into each slot. After a Daguerreotype plate was sensitized, exposed, and developed with mercury fumes, the photograph was immediately packaged inside a small glass-fronted case. An example of a Daguerreotype in its original case (from the Metropolitan Museum of Art) is shown below, in Photo 3. These cases were meant to protect the delicate beads of mercury-silver amalgam that form the image, and, if a relatively tight seal was achieved around the plate, the glass could prevent air pollution from tarnishing the silver.

The unexposed Daguerreotype plates in Photo 1 are exhibiting varying levels of silver tarnish and copper corrosion, because they were stored in their original wooden box for a very long time. The center of each plate is less tarnished than the edges, probably because the center was less exposed to the air. The manufacturer’s box has also seen better days, unfortunately: its lid is missing, and its green paper label is water damaged, suggesting that the box fell victim to a leaking roof or a burst pipe. Worst of all, one of the longer walls is cracked down the middle, and one half of this wall is nearly detached from the floor of the box. Under the supervision of Laura McCann, Conservation Librarian, I designed a preservation enclosure for the Daguerreotype plates and their wooden box. Again, we decided to preserve these 25 objects in their current states, rather than trying to repair their damage.

Our decision to not perform conservation treatments on these objects was motivated by several factors: the tarnish on the silver plates tells an interesting story, and polishing the silver would not only change that story, it would necessitate the removal of some original material. And what would be accomplished by removing the tarnish, other than obscuring historical evidence? It's unreasonable to expect 150 years old plates to look "new!" Similarly, the wooden box has a broken wall, but what would be accomplished by gluing it back together? The box still wouldn't be strong enough to protect the Daguerreotype plates on its own, and, of course, its lid is still missing. Lastly, there are always more projects flowing into the lab, so why waste time by over-treating a stable object? Better to protect what already exists.

I began by enclosing each of the Daguerreotype plates in a 4-flap paper wrapper to protect the metal surfaces from abrasion and from further exposure to pollutants (Photos 4-5). The paper that I chose is unbuffered, and it passes the “PAT,” or Photographic Activity Test. This is important, because materials that are not PAT-passed might chemically interact with photographs and accelerate their degradation. I selected an archival storage container that was large enough to house both the plates and the wooden box, and I had to consider how everything would be stored inside it. Laura decided that it was safer to store the plates vertically (the same way they had been stored in their wooden box), so I created two small trays to hold them upright. I thought it would be best to divide the metal plates into two groups, which would balance their considerable weight inside the new enclosure... if one side of a box is much heavier than the other, an unsuspecting person might drop it!

The two trays (Photo 6) have a hollow, removable insert which keeps the plates upright in storage, but which can be removed for easier access to the plates. I wrapped the exterior of the wooden box in a piece of Mylar (thin, clear polyester film) and I inserted a piece of flexible foam (Volara) in the back compartment, to hold the broken wall upright (Photo 7). The Mylar will protect the delicate paper label from abrasion, and it supports the broken wall from the outside. Finally, I created a carrying tray with cotton straps, so that the wooden box can easily be lifted out of its archival box. The final enclosure (Photo 8) Looks a little intimidating when you first remove the lid, but its primary purpose is to protect the object from further damage in transit or storage:

This treatment was pure “preservation”; unlike the 19th century publisher’s bindings that I treated, no amount of repair would allow this object to safely return to the stacks all by itself. An enclosure was necessary because of the sheer number of loose components in this object, and because the lidless wooden box is no longer capable of protecting its 24 plates. This enclosure will keep everything together and will keep the objects safe and dust-free in storage, while still leaving the door open for future conservation work!

Thanks for reading, and stay tuned for tomorrow’s final Preservation Week 2021 blog post, where I’ll discuss the preservation of a Riot Grrrl’s skateboard (see photo below!)

Since When Has Our Relationship Ever Been Easy?

At long last, we’ve come to the true beginning of our story! This is the chapter where our lovely couple finally meets! It’s a pretty long chapter too! Much longer than the first two were! I hope you all enjoy it! Thank you to everyone who’s been reading and liking this story! It means a lot to me!

Ages

Globgor: 8 Eclipsa: 7

Prologue /CH1/CH2

CH2-Found You

___

Found You

Now there was no reason for anyone to come up to Eclipsa and accuse her of being lost. No, no, being lost was when you had no idea where you were. She knew very well she was in the Forest of Unlikely Spiderbites. She just wasn’t sure where in the forest she was. In her defense, she had every intention of playing where the adults were, but as it turned out a strange insect that she had never seen before crossed her path. It looked like a dragonfly with two heads. She had to follow it, of course. If she didn’t, there was a good chance she would spend the rest of her life wondering if she had been seeing things. She just needed to get one quick peak and then she would return where it was safe.

Well, the little scamp had forced quite a chase out of her before shifting from a horizontal flight to a vertical one. That was quite unfair. How was she supposed to get a good look now? As much as the princess didn’t like to give up, she couldn’t figure out a way to continue her pursuit. She supposed the only choice she had left was to return where she came from.

This is how she came to the unfortunate realization she wasn’t sure which direction she had come from.

Eclipsa wasn’t scared though. Her mother had taught her what to do should she ever lose her way. All she needed to do was find a river and follow it to the nearest village. All rivers lead to civilization. So she took a moment to listen keenly for the sound of running water and then went on her way.

She definitely hadn’t been in this part of the forest before, but it was nothing to be concerned about. If she was going to be queen one day, she needed to get a thorough look at the homes of her allies anyway. In a way, she supposed this unexpected trail was a bit of a blessing.

Eventually she came cross the river she had been seeking, causing her to smile brightly. Honestly, if the result wouldn’t be her immediate grounding, Eclipsa wished her mother could know about this and see how she had utilized her mother’s survival skills in order to find her way. Now all she had to do was stick beside it and find a Mewman village.

At least, that’s what she had been planning to do.

Before we continue, let’s talk about theory ironically enough named the Butterfly Effect. This theory revolves around the belief that every miniscule decision or action you go through sets your fate in motion. Change even the slightest detail, and your fate will be altered. The most common used example for this theory is the idea that something as minimal as a butterfly beating its wings can have the surprising influence of the details of future tornado.

Why bring this up? Because as it just so happens, one little object—a pebble to be precise—just so happened to be resting in the princesses’ path without her knowing. Because of this, the girl found herself not walking along the bank of the river, but rather falling straight into it.  

And honestly, who knows how her life would’ve turned out if she hadn’t.

Eclipsa didn’t even have the chance to yell before she was suddenly underwater, staring into a few dozen pairs of fish eyes. She had come face-to-face with full fishing net. Pure survival instincts had her clawing on the net, wanting to catch herself before she was swept through the current. In a desperate attempt to regain her footing, she wound up accidentally tearing a hole through the net. This caused the captured fish to charge for their freedom, overwhelming Eclipsa and forcing her to lose her grip on the net. She frantically tried to reach for it again, but all she did was manage to get hit in the face with fleeing fish.

Now genuine fear was starting to rise in the usually unflinching child. She couldn’t get a hold of herself. She was going to run out of air. What was she going to do?!

Well apparently, she was going to be suddenly yanked out of the water and then, before she even had time to process what happened, she would be tossed aside like a broken sword. Because that’s exactly what wound up happening.

Eclipsa felt her mauve eyes roll in their sockets as she struggled to process what just happened. Well, at least she was above water. Her body shook as heavy coughs racked through her body. She hacked and sputtered a few times before she slowly managed to sit up from her discarded position. She was surprised to see a head of….light pink….hair leaning over the bank of the river.

“No! No, no, my fish! My fish! I can’t lose them! I need those!”

Eclipsa opened her mouth to speak when something suddenly caught her eye. A small gasp escaped her once she realized the kid had a long tail frantically moving back and forth behind him. It was too fluffy to be a Lucitor tail. So that meant that….

Another gasp escaped her as the boy suddenly turned, his four eyes flashing angrily. “What the heck? Do you have any idea what that-“

He paused once he reached the same realization she had. He was not talking to a fellow monster.

She hadn’t been rescued by a fellow Mewman.

They were two completely different species, meeting each other in person. Two species that were locked in a long, bloody war. Two members of the newest generation.

The monster was the first to break the trance. His eyes were livid as he quickly pulled a dagger out of his hilt. He took a fighting stance, getting ready to pounce at when the moment was right. “M-Mewman! You’re a Mewman! How dare you enter monster territory?!”

Eclipsa was so stunned by the fact that she was facing a monster face-to-face for the first time, she barely acknowledged the weapon the other was now wielding. She blinked a few times as she began to process what it was the boy was telling her. “Wait….huh? What are you talking about? This is the Forest of Unlikely Spiderbites. That’s Mewman territory last time I checked.”

The monster narrowed his eyes, his sneer growing in malice. “Of course. You Mewmans think you own everything. Spider Forest ends three miles to the east. You’re in monster territory, Mewman.”

Eclipsa gave him a confused look. She raised an eyebrow and looked in the direction of the river was flowing to. “…..Huh…..no, I don’t think so…”

“I’m not going to stand here arguing with you! Besides, if you want to get technical, all land is monster territory! Everything you Mewmans own was stolen from us!”

The princess was getting annoyed by the fact the boy seemed keen on reminding her that she was a Mewman every two seconds. He sounded like an annoying song put on loop. “Stop yelling at me already! Geez, why do you monsters always have to be so mean? Maybe we would like you guys better if you acted a little nicer.”

“…..” The monster’s eyes shifted from left to right, as if he was expecting something to come leaping out of the woods. Eclipsa couldn’t help but notice he looked much more like a kid when he wasn’t glaring at her. Now that she stopped to think about it, they did look like they were close in age. How weird. Why did he talk so much like the grown-ups?

The more innocent look of the monster didn’t last long, as he was soon once again glaring daggers at her.  

“Nice? The monster spat the word. He still hadn’t lowered his dagger. “You mean like you Mewmans? You just made me lose my fish. I was going to trade those for food! Now I’m not going to have breakfast today! Was that you being nice?”

Eclipsa’s eyes moved over the river she had been in moments before. An apologetic look appeared on her face. “It was an accident….”

“Oh, it was an accident? Well, too bad for me, huh? The Mewman made a mistake and now the monster goes hungry. Oopsie doopsie!”

Eclipsa felt bad. She didn’t want to cause any trouble, not even for a monster. She didn’t want this guy to have to lose his breakfast either. She supposed she’d be pretty cranky if someone spoiled her meal too. “….I’m sorry.”

The monster looked taken aback by this. He obviously hadn’t been expecting an apology from her. He opened and closed his mouth, allowing the princess to get a good look at his fangs while he tried to find a retort. He looked to the side, caught off guard enough to lower his knife slightly.

Eclipsa suddenly had an idea. She reached inside her dress pocket and pulled out the snooker bar she had been carrying. It was pretty wet now, but still edible. She smiled softly and held it out to the monster. “Here. You can have this.”

The monster jumped back into his defensive stance when he saw the girl had extended an arm to him. He eased up again though, once it was clear that it wasn’t a weapon pointing at him. His left eyebrows raised in confusion. “What is that thing?”

Eclipsa was surprised. “You’ve never seen one? It’s a snookers bar! My favorite kind of candy!”

“What’s a candy?”

She giggled lightly. “Just try it and find out!”

The monster frowned at her. “I’m not eating anything a Mewman gives me! It’s probably poisoned!”

The girl looked at the candy. “But I couldn’t have. It’s wrapped up! How could I have tampered with it, and then wrapped it back up so perfectly?”

The monster didn’t move.

“C’mon, don’t be scared!”

The monster’s eyes widened. Growling, he charged towards her and snatched the candy out of her hand. “I’m not scared of some Mewman!” He tore the wrapper off and inspected the candy closely.

“Eclipsa.”

The boy gave her a questioning look.

“You don’t have to keep calling me by my race. My name is Eclipsa.”

The look on the monster’s face showed he really didn’t care what her name was. The only response she got was the monster shoving the snookers bar straight into his mouth. A curious look appeared on his face. It must have really been the first time he had candy.

“Tastes good, doesn’t it?” Eclipsa asked with a giddy grin.

“….It’s decent. Where did you get it?”

“The vending machine.”

“The what?”

The monster frowned when the girl giggled at his question. “Hey! Don’t you laugh at me!”

“I’m sorry!” She struggled to suppress her laugh. “But you’re so funny!”

“How so?” The monster glared. He seemed to have forgotten his knife, which he had put aside when he had eaten the chocolate.

Eclipsa shrugged. “Well, you just act so grown-up. All the other Mewmans around my age talk about war, but not like you do. You almost sound like my mom! But you’re just a kid, like me! It’s just…so weird. Do all monsters act like this?”

The monster looked incredulous. “What? Why would you need to ask that? Are you seriously telling me you don’t see a lot of monsters?”

The princess snorted in a rather unladylike fashion. “I’m saying I’ve never seen a monster at all. Mother won’t let me anywhere near you guys. You’re the first one I’ve ever met.”

The monster seemed unsure on how to respond to that. “Well….I guess that explains why you’re so naïve…”

Eclipsa took no offense. Instead, she tilted her head in a pleading fashion. “Hey, do monsters have names? Do you have one? Please tell me what it is! I’ve never heard a monster name before!”

He gave her a long stare. “……..It’s Globgor.”

“Glob….gor?” What a strange name. It sounded like his parents tried to come up with the yuckiest name they could and gave it to their son. It wasn’t a bad name, it just sounded messy. “Wow…..and do all monsters talk like you do?”

The monster, apparently named Globgor, looked confused. “What are you talking about?”

“Your voice. It sounds…..different.”

“My voice is fine!” Unbeknownst to Eclipsa, Globgor knew very well what she was talking about. He had an accent that wasn’t very common among monster folk. Was a Size-Shifter thing? He wasn’t sure. Gooblah had a similar voice, but not to the same degree. There was never any point in asking that old man anything. Apparently he didn’t know where the others of their kind were either. “And what about you? Why is your voice so….posh sounding?”

“’Posh’?”

“Y’know, all snobby!”

Eclipsa huffed and crossed her arms. “Why can’t you say something nice? You’re being very rude to me, you know!”

Globgor rolled his eyes. “Well, duh! That’s because you’re my enemy!”

Eclipsa made a noise of disbelief. “What? But I gave you my candy!”

“That doesn’t matter! You’re a Mewman! I’m a monster! We have to be enemies!”

“How come?”

“Because we’re out there killing each other! Sheesh, don’t you know anything?”

“Yeah but,” Eclipsa gestured aimlessly to the area around them. “We’re not going to hurt each other! So what’s the big deal?”

Globgor paused. He then glared and stood in front of her so that their faces were inches away from each other. “And what makes you think I’m not going to hurt you? You’re a tasty Mewman after all, and I’m a Size-Shifter!”

Eclipsa blinked, unfazed by the proximity of the boy. “What’s a Size-Shifter?”

Globgor’s face became deadpan. “It’s a monster that can breathe fire. What do you think a Size-Shifter is, you dummy?”

….

The girl’s eyes seemed to light up. “Wait, are you seriously telling me you can change your size?” She reached forward and grabbed his hands eagerly. “Oooh! Show me! Show me! Please?”

Globgor snatched his hands back, giving the girl an alarmed look. “A-Are you out of your mind?! You just touched me-!”

“Get bigger!” Eclipsa giggled with excitement and clapped her hands. “Pleeeeease? That would be so cool!”

“……” Globgor puffed his cheeks out and crossed his arms. “I don’t want to show you! I’m not your little performer! My abilities aren’t meant to entertain your kind!”

“…..” Eclipsa deflated. “You can’t actually grow big, can you?”

“I can too!” Globgor’s voice was indignant. “I just…..can’t yet. Size-Shifters can’t grow big until they get older, like teenage years.”

Eclipsa groaned and surprised the monster by sitting down on the ground with defeat. “Aw, but that’s going to take forever! Think of all the cool stuff you could do if you could grow big right now!” She placed her face in her hand. “Trust me, I know what you’re going through. My mom is going to pass down some pretty cool magic to me, but I can’t have it until I ‘come of age’. She won’t even let me play with hers! I don’t want to wait so long! I want to use some magic now!”

Globgor’s face darkened considerably at the mention of the infamous magic. “Oh? And what would you do with that magic, huh?”

Eclipsa placed a digit under her chin in thought. “Well…..I’d want to do a lot of things! Maybe I’d make my hair change color every day! Or I’d make myself an endless supply of snookers! Or maybe I’d make myself really small, so I could sneak out of my home whenever I felt like it!”

….

Eclipsa heard a strange sound. She turned her head to look at the monster boy, only to find that he had vanished. She twisted her head around to see if he had run off. “Hey! Globgor, where did you go?”

“Down here.”

Eclipsa looked down to see that the boy was now as big as her shoe. He had an amused look on his face as he tapped his tiny foot at her expectedly.

Her eyes sparkled with wonder. “W-What? H-How did you-?”

“-I can’t grow big yet, but I can easily shrink to whatever size I want! It comes in handy when I need to crawl into small areas!” His voice was arrogant as he spoke. He was clearly pleased with being able to brag like this to someone. Much to the girl’s delight, she also noticed that his voice had raised noticeably in pitch, making him sound all squeaky while he bragged.

“Woah! That’s so cool!” Eclipsa didn’t seem to mind the haughtiness of the boy. It was a pretty impressive ability to have. Oh the fun she could have if she could shrink like this! Everything would be so much more exciting if it towered far above her! She could pretend she was an actual butterfly! Maybe make herself some wings!

She reached down to touch the boy, only for him to frown and move out of her reach. “What do you think you’re doing?”

“I want to pick you up!” she giggled.

“Are you crazy? Why would I let you pick me up?”  He glared as he balled his hands into fists.

“Well, aren’t you a little curious? I would never be able to pick you up if you were your regular size. Has anyone ever picked you up before?” She shrugged while giving him an endearing smile. “I’m not going to hurt you. If you get suspicious, you can just go back to normal.”

Globgor stared at her. He squinted his eyes and took a few steps back. “I don’t want to touch a Mewman. You people are filthy.”

“But we already touched when I grabbed your hands! Now you’re just grasping at straws. Come here!” The boy moved to get away, but he was quickly caught up in Eclipsa’s small hands. She brought him up to her face so that she could get a good look at him.

It was as if both of them fell under some sort of trance. Even Globgor ceased his protests once he realized how close he really was to this girl. A monster and Mewman had never been this close to each other without hostile intentions. Despite this, nothing felt out of sorts about this proximity. In fact, it felt natural. What did it mean when something so forbidden was so comfortable? Weren’t things denied because they were bad for you? Because you’d get hurt if you pursued it? So what was so wrong here? Why was this something no one had tried to do?

“Have you ever been this close to a Mewman before?”

“….Never actually seen a Mewman before.”

Eclipsa wasn’t surprised there. He didn’t sound too experienced with her people. He put on a brave face, but she could see right through him. She’d made him nervous. He wasn’t as tough as he pretended to be.

“You’re funny, Globgor.” Eclipsa giggled and tilted her head to the side. “Want to be my friend?”

…..

Globgor jumped off her hand and made a run for it, returning back to his normal size.

“H-Hey!” Eclipsa jumped to her feet and ran after the monster. “Don’t leave! Globgor! Stay and play with me!”

She charged in pursuit, doing what she could to keep the fluff of the monster’s tail in sight. She stumbled several times due to being very inexperienced with this part of the forest. Much to her frustration, she wound up losing track of the boy. She continued following the trail she had been on, hoping to still have a chance to catch up with him. She kept this going for several minutes, taking many turns in the process. She didn’t even care that she had gotten herself more lost. She was too upset about the cool monster being gone.

WHAM!

Eclipsa squeaked as felt a body leap on top of her. She grunted as she looked up, realizing she had just been body slammed by the boy she had been pursuing. “There you are!”

“You need to quit following me!” Globgor glared down at his captive. “Look at how easily I captured you! If I was another monster, you’d be dead right now!”

A smile broke out on the girl’s face. “So you’re saying you’re not going to hurt me? You do want to be my friend, don’t you? You’re trying to look out for me! That means you like me!”

“…….” Globgor was unable to hold back a chuckle. “You’re so weird!” He opened his eyes as a gasp escaped from the girl underneath him. “What’s wrong?”

Eclipsa beamed with delight. “You have such a nice smile! Your fangs look so pretty! Oh, I wish I had a camera with me!”

“……” Globgor lightly fingered the fangs in his mouth. He looked very confused, but fascinated at the same time. At least he wasn’t insulting her anymore. “Listen-“

A mighty cry broke out in the area around them.

In a flash, Globgor had been forcibly removed from her and flung off with great force. Eclipsa only had time to sit up before she saw the horrific sight of her mother striking the monster down his leg with her wand.

“NO!” she cried out. Not that she could be heard over the sound of the poor boy screaming in pain. Her stomach twisted as she watched the confident monster curl up in a ball and start sobbing. He was so scared! She had to do something!

Eclipsa opted finally to ball her small fists up and started screaming at the top of her lungs.

This caught her mother’s attention, allowing Globgor to make his getaway. Her mom turned back to watch his retreat, but ultimately decided he wasn’t worth the chase. She instead got to her feet and rushed over to the crying princess.

“Sweetie, baby! Are you alright?! Let me see you!” She checked her daughter every which way and that before pulling her into an emotional hug. “Oh my darling, I was so worried! I never would have dreamed I’d find you….what in the name of Mewni are you doing out here?! You are way beyond the Spidebite borderline! You could’ve been killed!”

“M-Mommy….” Eclipsa sniffed as she looked in the direction the boy had run. “That monster-“

“-I know! I know honey, I saw! It was about to attack you! Or capture you or something!” She glared hatefully in the direction her daughter was looking. “I should’ve finished it off! I can’t believe I let that thing get away!”

….Finish off? Wait, that didn’t make any sense. Globgor wasn’t in any army. He wasn’t one of the bad adults. “Mommy, he was a kid like me!”

Solaria gave the child a solemn look. “That matters not. One day he will grow older, and then he’ll be just like the barbarians I face on the battlefield! I am ashamed to have been unable to snip this savage in the bud.” She lifted up her daughter and held her close to her chest. “Oh my sweet, don’t ever do something like this again! I don’t know what I’d do if I were to lose you! Now let’s go home.”

Eclipsa felt her tears return as she was carried off from the forest. No, this wasn’t fair! It wasn’t right! She and the monster were supposed to be friends! Why had her mother been so mean to someone who didn’t hurt her? She wanted to see Globgor again!

She gave a pitiful whine as she reached out for the monster’s escape route to no avail.

___

It was a long carriage ride home. Solaria was doing her best to soothe her daughter, who still had quiet tears falling from her eyes. “My poor darling…that monster really gave you a fright, didn’t he? See, this is why I didn’t want you leave the castle. You have no idea what’s out there, Eclipsa!”

Eclipsa couldn’t help but feel a little angered by her mother’s words. She wanted to explain to her that Globgor hadn’t been trying to hurt her. He’d even tried to warn her that things could go bad for her if she kept wandering around unsupervised. Every time she tried to explain though, her mother cut her off, assuming she was about mention how scared she had been. Why wasn’t her mother listening to her? This wasn’t about playing with her or begging to go along on a trip. She was trying to explain what really happened!

Her mother was still going on even then. “I really do need to have a stern word with the Spiderbites. I know they can’t help the fact that their kingdom is right next to a monster stronghold, but they should still send out scouts or something to make sure things like this don’t happen! I mean, any child can just go wandering off and-“

“-Mommy, I don’t think he wanted to hurt me!” There. She finally got a word in. She spoke her mind.

To her surprise, her mother wasn’t even shocked by her words. She just gave an endearing smile and patted her cheek. “Yes, of course you would think that. You’re such a sweet girl.”

“But it’s true!” Eclipsa declared, surprising them both by pulling away from her mother’s touch. “He smiled at me! He tried to warn me! He-“

“-Those were all just tactics to get you to lower you defense!” Solaria said in a chastising tone.

“But what if it wasn’t?”

“Eclipsa, where is this coming from?” Her face was stern as she spoke. “You meet one monster and now you think you know how to read them?”

“But….that’s still one more than you have!” Eclipsa said in realization. “I actually talked to him, Mommy! I think today is the only day you’ve ever actually sat down and spoken to a-“

Her words trailed off as she suddenly noticed the state her mother was in. She was covered head to toe in blood. Now, usually that would be a very common sight for the princess, but today…..today was supposed to be about making peace. They were just supposed to be talking. So why did….

Solaria’s expression darkened. She didn’t need for her daughter to ask the question. She looked down at the state her clothes were in and sighed.

“I did talk to them, Eclipsa. It didn’t go well.”

___

The girl had to have cast a spell on him. That was the only explanation he could think of.

Globgor couldn’t explain why he didn’t stab the girl as soon as he saw her. Maybe it was because he had never seen a Mewman in person before, but ultimately, he believed it was because the girl had been catching him off guard at every give and turn.

It was like, did she not know how things worked? If a Mewman and a monster ever crossed paths, it was second nature for them to at least spit in the other’s direction, at most try to kill the other. You weren’t supposed to compliment or give each other candy! Was she just stupid or something?

What on mewni had possessed him to let her hold him like that? She could’ve snapped his neck the way he had left himself so vulnerable! It must have been childish wonder that had entranced him once he had gotten so close to the girl’s face. He hadn’t even considered the fact that he was literally putting himself in his enemy’s hands.

Yet, she hadn’t hurt him. Better yet, she actually had the audacity to suggest they be friends.

It had all been too much for boy. He had to get away before things got any crazier.

The girl proved to be stubborn though, as she began to chase after him, calling for him like a little idiot. What if another monster had found her? They would’ve killed her without a second thought. Ugh, why did he care?

Well, it had seemed like he was going to be punished for his stupidity. He had been attacked by the Queen herself. He had witnessed something only the soldiers in his village had. He had come face-to-face with the Monster Carver herself. He wasn’t ashamed to say he’d been terrified. Without his ability to grow, there was no way he could defeat her. He’d thought for sure he was going to die.

But then….the girl had saved him.

He hadn’t come to the realization that she had until he had seen be carried off by the queen, stretching a hand out to him. Before he had seen that, he had assumed it had all been a trap. He was the fool the entire time, taking pity on a moron like her. But….she really had saved him. She defended him. She didn’t want to leave him even then.

Despite the pain he was in as he limped home, Globgor couldn’t help but laugh to himself. Honestly, he didn’t know what else to do! This girl was unbelievable! She acted as if the war going on had nothing to do with her! It had everything to do with her! Because apparently, she was the daughter of the Monster Carver! The princess! How had he not realized that? How could he have forgotten about the warnings of the dreaded curse marks the Butterflys had on their cheeks?

He had been rescued by the princess of Mewmans.

What was he supposed to do with that information? Should he let his people know just how naive she was and what a strong hold she had on Monster Carver’s heart?

….

Sweet corn, he didn’t want this girl in danger. Was something wrong with his head?!

“Banana Hat, what’s happening to me?” Globgor moaned to the muscular whale that appeared behind him.

“I think you were on the money about her casting some sort of spell on you. I don’t believe that she’s actually as powerless as she let on! You were just a plaything for her!” Banana Hat drew his sword and pointed it to the sky. “Well, it doesn’t matter! You survived and now you never have to worry about seeing that sneaky brat ever again!”

“Yeah. Right.” Globgor’s eyes looked from left to right. “Um….now when you say ever again-“

“Globgor, snap out of it!” the whale exclaimed. “Can’t you see she’s mind-controlling you?!”

“I know, I know! Of course I know that! It’s just that…you know, in the off chance that she’s being sincere-“

“Globgor-“

“Hear me out! It’s just a thought! Thus could be a huge breakthrough for monsterkind! I mean, she’s going to be queen one day and-“

“Globgor!”

His friend vanished back into the recesses of his mind once he took notice of the commotion greeting him at the entrance of his village. Ignoring the pain in his leg, he hobbled over as he quickly as he could.

Everyone was gathered around, their voices mixing together with woe and despair. It was a struggle for the boy to push through to the front, but once he did, it was as if all the pain in his leg and had transferred over to his heart.

It was a lineup of wagons, each one carrying a different monster. All of them were dead. Cut through the chest by a slash that dragged in the shape of a lightning bolt. Seven wagons lined up with the dead. Families stood beside them and wept for their lost loved one.

The waves of mourning began to shift into a storm of rage.

“I knew that blasted queen couldn’t be trusted!”

“She did this, didn’t she?! That witch broke her word! She’s the lowest form of life!”

“Why did we ever think we could talk to those barbarians?! They need to be exterminated, plain and simple!”

Globgor barely heard the others as he walked among the deceased monsters. Everything around him became a low rumble until he finally landed on the last cart.

It was Gooblah.

Globgor wasn’t a stranger to death. He heard reports of monster-slaying on a daily basis. But this was the first time someone he’d known personally had come back dead. And it left a heavy ache in the center of his chest.

He was the last Size-Shifter in the village. Maybe in all of Mewni.

He began to pick up on the voices around him as felt warms tears spill down his face.

“And Gooblah? What are we supposed to do without him?”

“He hasn’t fought in years, right?”

“Yeah, but the fact that he was living here was all that was keeping those bloody Mewmans from messing with us! He was our best defense!”

“Without him, we’ll be sitting ducks! We’re gonna be crushed by that horrid queen!”

It was coming to the point where Globgor couldn’t think straight with all the noise. Yet somehow, a single, intense feeling of determination welled up inside him. He tightly clasped Gooblah‘s hand before turning to face everyone.

“Nobody is going to be crushed except for the Mewmans!”

Everyone turned to glance down at the young monster, who made his way over to a nearby tree stump and stood on top of it. He had a face that was both threatening and reassuring. “Did you guys forget? I’m a Size-Shifter too! I’m still here, so you guys have nothing to worry about!”

Murmurs broke out throughout the crowd before one monster finally spoke up. “Kid, you can’t grow yet! The Mewmans aren’t going to wait around until you get older!”

“Who says I need to be a giant in order to cause some damage?” A confident smile appeared on his face as he stood proudly before his people. “I’m going to enlist in the army effect of immediately!” More murmurs broke out, this time louder than before.“But you’re just a kid! You’re too young to fight!” a woman called out.

“I won’t be an anything if I let this carry on!” Globgor countered. “I’ll let those Mewmans know that there’s a new Size-Shifter protecting this community! They don’t need to know that I can’t increase my size yet.” His grin grew, showing off his sharp fangs. “And I don’t need to grow in order to make those ruthless barbarians my next meal!”

The monsters looked at him with confusion, while the boy just shrugged. “When we hunt, do we eat the game whole? No. We cook it. We cut it up. We eat it in pieces. Are we not low on food? Well, if the Mewmans won’t give us the land we need in order to grow the resources we need, then they’ll just have to provide it for us in a different way!” His smile disappeared as his face became more serious. “The Mewmans know what a threat Size-Shifters are. That means they’ll see me as a threat. Let me take care of you all! Let me fight for you! Let me make sure this,” he pointed towards the line of deceased monsters, “never happens again!”

Everyone talked excitedly among each other. Of course everyone had been expecting the child to enlist when he got older and was able to crush his foes with a giant fist. But the boy was still young and unable to grow in size. How could they put their faith in someone so unprepared?

“I believe in you, Globgor!”

The crowd looked to see a small, pink anthropomorphic cat monster with brown hair in a bun step up and look at the monster boy with earnest eyes. She had her paws clasped in front of her, almost like she was praying. A young red tiger-like feline with black hair stood behind her, looking like he wanted to pull her back. The girl didn’t seem to notice.

“You’re so brave! I’m going to follow you very hard, okay? I know you won’t let us down!”

“But he’s too small to do anything!” another monster called out. “Look kid, we admire your bravery, but what are you going to do when you’re facing a Mewman twice your size? I mean, I doubt they’ll be scared after they clobber you into the dirt!”

“And what makes you so sure they will?” Globgor shot back. He flipped his leg over so that he could show the crowd the injury he had just received not too long ago. “I’ll have you know I just met with the Monster Carver in person, and I walked away to tell the tale!”

A gasp broke out among the monsters. Many approached him, trying to get a better look at the wound. There was no doubt about it. It was completely identical to the ones on the deceased. It was a cut from the evil wand of Solaria.

“That’s impossible! How are you still alive?!” someone called out.

“I wish I could tell you I locked arms with the queen and won, but that’s not what happened. I managed to get away and outrun her. I looked her right in the eye as she struck me with blazing red magic of hers. I won’t be a fool and say I could take her on right now at the age I am. I don’t even believe I could defeat a Mewman soldier. But with some training, I will take down her army, and eventually I will bring us the queen to feast on! THIS I SWEAR!”

This time, everyone cheered at the end of his speech. Some even began chanting his name. He had won them over with his determination and words. The pink feline actually ran up and hugged him around his neck.

“Hi! I’m Puma!” she said with a grin.

Globgor laughed nervously and gently pulled her away. “Um…nice to meet you. I thank you for believing in me.”

“Oh you’re welcome!” She looked over at the tiger monster. “Tigre, come say hi to this guy!”

While she talked, Globgor looked back in the direction of the forest. He had just declared Mewman kind as his prey, and he meant every word of it. He’d do anything for his people. They needed someone like him. He’d give his very life for not just them, but those who had tragically lost their lives to the enemy, one monster in particular.

…..Still……if there really was a glimmer of hope among these creatins…..

Globgor turned his head as Puma tapped his shoulder. “Hey, would you mind if my brother and I took a picture with your scar?”

___

Eclipsa had to wait until nightfall in order to sneak out again. She needed to see Globgor. She needed to apologize and let him know that she hadn’t planned on her mother showing up. She had to. She couldn’t sleep without knowing if he was okay or not. She liked the boy. He was the most exciting thing she had seen in she didn’t know how long! So, really, she had no choice but to sneak out and head back to the Forest of Unlikely Spiderbites.

What she would up doing was finding the nearest river and following it deep into the forest. She needed to be careful because she had made the mistake of not bringing a flashlight or something. She really could be impulsive at the worst of times. Oh well, she couldn’t exactly go back and fetch it. She kept going until she finally found the discarded net the boy had left. She looked around, hoping to find…..what exactly? Had she really expected him to be there? He hadn’t even come back for his net. She knew there was no way she’d be able to find him if she just kept walking. Although she was adventurous by nature, even she knew that wandering the forest without any source of light was a surefire way to get herself killed.

Deflated, the princess sat down by the river and started to cry. She had come all this way and her new friend was long gone! It just wasn’t fair! Why was it whenever she cared about someone, they couldn’t stay with her? As childish as it sounded, she really could never seem to get what she wanted!

As she wiped her eyes, a small piece of paper tacked on to the fishing net suddenly caught her attention. She hopped up and quickly removed it. It was a note! She began to read it.

If you want to meet again, go to the outskirts of the forest on the Spiderbite side on Tuesday at 8 at night. I’ll be there and wait for an hour. Bring more candy. Don’t let anyone see this note, especially not the queen! In fact, eat it. Eat it right now.

-Globgor

Eclipsa released a happy squeal. He wanted to see her again! She had a friend! A monster friend! She could all but hum to herself as she giddily stuffed the paper in her mouth. They were going to have the best time together!

Whew! 17 pages! I hope that made the wait worth it! So now the story of Globgor and Eclipsa really begins! Heads up, the next chapter is going to take place a year later. I mean, if sat here and wrote out every detail of every meeting they ever had, we would never reach the end! So there will be times when there will be time-skips so we can move the timeline along. Remember that this story isn’t really focused on plot as much as it is the development of Globgor and Eclipsa’s relationship over the years. Until next time!

Syntegon at PackEx India – Mumbai 14 to 16 September

Customers and suppliers can look forward to various vertical, horizontal and secondary packaging systems for candies, snacks and powders, as well as sustainable packaging solutions – in keeping with the company’s mission to deliver processing and packaging for a better life. Finally, after sales services will round out at the Syntegon stand H30 in Hall 1. “In the past few years, we have proven that Syntegon is a strong player with a global presence in the packaging industry. At the PackEx India, we will showcase our broad range of solutions and demonstrate how we enable customers to quickly respond to market and product changes,” says Nilesh Vedak, managing director of Syntegon Technology India.

Vertical machines for efficient and sustainable production

The vertical portfolio at the show will also include an SVI 4000 vertical bagger for packaging powdered food and non-food products in combination with an auger for precise dosing and PHS 2.0 sealing technology – achieving higher fill weights of up to ten kilograms. Additionally, both the SVI 4000 and PHS 2.0 sealing system can process recyclable mono-materials without compromising on production speed – a win-win for manufacturers looking to combine highly efficient processes with more sustainable packaging materials.

From gentle handling to pack style flexibility

In addition, Syntegon will also highlight its proven BVK 2000 A form, fill and seal machine for flow wrapping confectionery products like hard candy at high speeds. Manufacturers benefit from the flow wrapper’s efficiency and reliability, as well as fast changeovers that allow them to process a variety of products and pack styles.

Complementing Syntegon’s versatile portfolio, the company also offers secondary packaging solutions – for example, the Sigpack TTME cartoner is suitable for a variety of carton formats and sizes. At the booth the visitors can take a closer look at different packaging samples for a broad area of applications.

Service agreements for customized support

The PackEx stand will also feature Syntegon’s extended Service and Digital Solutions portfolio. The company now offers revised Service Agreements with a range of service levels, including maintenance, spare parts management, remote services, and training. The flexible packages provide customized support at a fixed price over predefined time periods. “With our large portfolio of machines and services, we can provide customers with optimal support throughout the entire lifecycle of their machine and offer solutions tailored to their individual needs,” says Nilesh Vedak.

The Advantages of Using a Chocolate Packing Machine

Chocolate packaging machine is a versatile machine that can be used to manufacture all sorts of different chocolates. There is no limit to the number of different shapes, flavors or types of chocolates you can make with this machine. This is the perfect machine for those who love to make their own chocolate bars, cakes and cookies. Chocolate packaging machine is a small kitchen gadget that can produce customized chocolates in a short time.

Basically, chocolate packaging machines are a type of machine that is used for the purpose of wrapping various kinds of confections. They are also known as wrapping machines. This type of machine makes use of a metal tube for the purpose of expanding foam or filling gel or dough with melted chocolate. In fact, it is often seen that baking bars and cakes are making faster using these machines rather than using conventional ovens or pans.

The way a packaging machine works is by utilizing an injection of melted chocolate and foam or gel into a cylindrical mold. The purpose of doing so is to create a cylindrical shape in the desired shape. In fact, you can optimize this machine by using variable-width channels that can be adjusted for various thicknesses. If you want to produce a thick chocolate bar or cake, then you can set the widths to the maximum that will ensure the thickest bar or cake. On the other hand, if you want to produce a very thin layer of chocolate, then you can just set the width to the minimum that is required for your particular application.

Aside from providing a thicker layer of chocolate, you can also opt to have the machine create horizontal flow machine that can wrap different types of shapes such as square, round, rectangular, heart-shaped, and some others. Horizontal flow machine can also produce a smooth, flat surface when wrapped. In fact, some advantages of this machine are that it can work properly even with varying ingredients and temperature, it can create the needed level of pressure, and the operation is very fast.

Another advantage of Chocolate Packaging Machine is that it can be used to create a variety of products including candy bars, cookies, brownies, and mayonnaise bars. However, there is still another advantage that you can take advantage of especially if you want to have a more economical way of doing things such as wrapping pastries, cupcakes, pies, and desserts. This advantage is the fact that you will be able to save more money on food wrappers if you use a vertical or horizontal flow machine instead of both. Moreover, you can also maximize the space that is used inside your home because the vertical packaging line can allow you to store a lot of supplies while the horizontal packaging line can help you to save space for other things such as boxes and plastic bags.

Lastly, you can also get a chocolate wrapping machine to replace your own wrapping machine. If you have a single chocolate machine, you might notice that the end product always comes out a little dry. On the other hand, if you are going to buy a wrapping machine, you can already prepare a single chocolate bars or other kinds of confections. Instead of buying wrapping materials every time, you will only need to prepare one single chocolate bar and then allow the machine to do its job. It would definitely save you time and effort as well as money since the machine can do the work. Thus, you can use your own wrapping machine for preparing only one single chocolate bar.

Ifjúsági horgász viadal értékelése

2021.06.05-én került megrendezésre a Hajdú-Bihar Megyei Horgász Szervezetek Szövetsége szervezésében az Ifjúsági horgász viadal. A viadalra előzetesen 8 fő regisztrált, akik a felhívásban közzétett gyülekezési időpontban, mindannyian megjelentek a Látóképi Horgásztó nyugati partján felállított sátornál.

 A helyszíni regisztrációt követően, ismertetésre került a MOHOSZ Horgász Utánpótlás-Nevelési és Oktatási Program által támogatott viadal pontos menete, díjazása, a feladatok ütemezése és végrehajtásának szabályai. Az első forduló a tesztlap kérdéseinek megválaszolása volt, melyet együtt kezdtek kitölteni a résztvevők. Aki elkészült a válaszadásokkal, folytathatta a célbadobással, vagy a szerelékek, kötések elkészítésével.

Az ifjú versenyzőket külön meg kell dicsérni a feladatok rendkívül gördülékeny végrehajtása miatt. Hogy mennyire vették komolyan a tusát, mi sem mutatja jobban, mint az, hogy a kötések elkészítésekor, bizony komoly nehezítő tényező volt a kézremegés. A három próba után, következhetett a várva várt horgászat. A horgászat sajnos – a tavalyi évhez hasonlóan – nem hozott jó eredményeket. Jónéhány dévérkeszeg, vörösszárnyú keszeg, elvétve sügér, és küszök voltak a kifogott halfajok. A jövő évi horgász viadalt valószínűleg a horgászattal kezdünk reggel, talán jobban táplálkoznak az egyébként jó halállománnyal rendelkező tó lakói. Az esemény során végig bevontuk a verseny lebonyolításába a szülőket, kísérőket. Úgy gondoljuk, jó hangulatban zajlott a 2021-es viadal.

Ezek a versenyek középfokú iskolai képzésben résztvevő tanulók részére kerülnek kiírásra, nagyon komoly tárgynyereményekkel, valamint az első három helyezett számára egyhetes táborozási lehetőséggel. A tábor idén is Pécs közelében, Orfűn, a Pécsi tó partján lesz. Ennek ellenére alacsony volt az érdeklődés, Debrecenből csak ketten(!), a többiek pedig 1-1 fő, mind különböző megyei településekről jelentkeztek. Bízunk benne, hogy ez pozitív irányba fog változni a jövőben, és a regisztrálók száma növekedni fog. Kértük a résztvevő versenyzőket hogy – egyeztetve az egyesületekkel – egymást a saját vizükre is hívják meg különböző versenyekre, hátha kialakulna egy jó kis társaság, bővülő létszámmal. Az országos tábor után országon átívelő barátságok kötődnek, így a megyében is elindulhatna egy hasonló folyamat. Talán sikerülne még kiszabadítani néhány fogékony lelket a szobából, a számítógépek elől…

Ezúton is köszönjük az önzetlen munkájukat a bírálóként résztvevő kiváló megyei verseny horgászoknak, és mindenkinek, aki a munkánkat segítette!

How to Choose the Best Packaging Machine?

Labelling machines are automated systems used to package products, materials, and goods for storage, distribution, and sale. They help to improve the speed, accuracy, and efficiency of the packaging process, while reducing waste and manual labour. There are many different types of packaging machines, including horizontal flow wrappers, vertical form fill and seal machines, cartons, case packers, and shrink wrap machines. These machines can handle a wide range of products, from food and beverage products to pharmaceuticals and consumer goods. Let’s take a look at the elements for choosing packaging machines in Australia. 

Elements to Consider While Choosing a Good Packaging Machine

Choosing the best packaging machine depends on several factors, including the type of product being packaged, production volume, and budget. Here are some key considerations when choosing a packaging machine:

●      Product type and size: Determine the size and shape of the product being packaged and choose a machine that can accommodate it. For example, flow wrappers are often used for products that are small or flexible, while horizontal form fill and seal machines are often used for products with a regular shape.

●      Production volume: Consider the number of products that need to be packaged per hour and choose a machine with a production rate that meets your needs.

●      Package type: Consider the type of packaging material you will use and choose packaging machines in Australia that are compatible with it. For example, some machines are designed specifically for use with flow-wrap packaging material, while others are more versatile and can handle multiple types of packaging material.

●      Budget: Determine the budget for the packaging machine and choose one that offers the best value for money. Consider factors such as machine price, maintenance costs, and energy efficiency.

●      User-friendliness: Choose a machine that is easy to operate and maintain, with features such as a clear user interface, automatic error detection and correction, and easy maintenance access.

●      Brand reputation and after-sales support: Consider the reputation of the manufacturer and the level of after-sales support they offer. Choose a machine from a reputable brand with a proven track record and a commitment to customer service. 

By considering these factors, you can select the best packaging machine for your needs and ensure that you have a reliable and efficient production line. 

Where to Buy the Best Machines?

The packaging process typically involves several stages, including product feeding, packaging material dispensing, product filling, sealing, labelling, and packaging output. Packaging machines can be designed for specific applications, such as wrapping products in flexible film, filling and sealing containers, or forming and filling cartons. 

The use of labelling machines helps to improve the overall quality and consistency of the packaging process, while reducing manual labour, increasing productivity, and improving product safety and security. By automating the packaging process, manufacturers can reduce the risk of packaging errors, increase production efficiency, and improve product shelf life. Thus while buying the best packaging machine in Australia, we recommend checking out Optima Weightech. The company is one of the best ones out there and you can get a range of labelling machines from their extensive portfolio.
