* The first staplers were invented in the 18th century for King Louis XV of France, though the word “stapler” wasn’t commonly used until 1901. These early devices were cumbersome and often required force to operate, with some even needing a hammer or mallet.
* Animals with smaller bodies and faster metabolism see in slow motion.
* Occupational therapy techniques date to 100 B.C., when a Greek physician named Asclepiades used them to treat mental illness.
* The tradition of playing loud music at an Irish wake originated with the belief that it would ward off evil spirits. Wakes also provided the opportunity to watch over the deceased to see if they would awaken.

* In 2019, a British woman married her dog. Her motive? After four failed engagements, 220 dates and a general range of unsatisfying experiences in the search for Mr. Right, she had given up on men but felt she and her dog had saved each other.
* “Crab mentality” refers to the “If I can’t have it, neither can you” line of thinking, due to the fact that when a crab in a bucket attempts to escape, its fellow crabs pull it down.

Lots of PUN
Keanu Reeves was offered the lead role in Wild Wild West, but turned it down to do The Matrix. He really dodged a bullet there.
The manual says that we should not turn the stereo up to full volume. That’s sound advice.
A computer engineer attempted flirting with a waitress, but failed miserably. You might say there was an error connecting to the server.
A lady approached me and said, “Every time you smile, I want to give you my number!” At first I thought she was flirting, but it turns out she’s a dentist.
On my walk yesterday, I fell into a hole full of water. In my defense, I couldn’t see that well.
Plateaus are the highest form of flattery.
All day I drill holes in metal and bolt them together. At first it’s boring, then it’s riveting.
My sister got fired from the hot dog stand. She wasn’t supposed to put her hair in a bun.
You can’t trust deli sandwiches. They’re full of bologna.
Yesterday, I was washing the car with my son. He must have been a little annoyed, I guess, because he kept asking, “can’t you just use a sponge?”
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You’re finally seeing some progress with your new venture, but be prepared for it to continue at a slower pace than you’re used to. Meanwhile, a loved one could be preparing a surprise.
ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Your honesty is, as always, admirable. But you might want to be more tactful when discussing a sensitive issue with a family member. Remember, you can give advice without giving offense.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) An unexpected workplace snag should be handled quickly and efficiently so that it leaves you time for family get-togethers. Also, you might soon get a long-sought apology.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Aspects favor family matters, especially where children might be involved. Spending time with loved ones helps restore some much-needed balance to your typically busy schedule.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A seemingly clear-cut agreement might not be quite so straightforward after all. Recheck for language that could make you liable for hidden costs and other unpleasant surprises.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Careful, Kitty! It’s better to deal with someone with proven reliability than a big talker who promises much but can’t confirm that they will deliver. Meanwhile, your social life really zings this weekend.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your matchmaking skills are at peak performance levels — both in helping to staff workplace teams for upcoming projects and for bringing people together on a more personal basis.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A family member’s success pulls you into the spotlight as well. Enjoy it, but don’t let it overshadow or otherwise obstruct what you’re doing with your own creative projects.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Using what you already know might not be quite enough to get a proposed project off the ground. Look for any new information that might help tilt the scales in your favor.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Good news! While a changing workplace environment can be daunting for some, it could be the challenge you’ve been hoping for. If so, confront it with confidence and move on.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) It’s a good time to recheck travel arrangements for any changes that could work to your advantage. Aspects also favor strengthening and restoring old, fraying relationships.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Using your intuitive reasoning helps you cut right through the double talk and straight to what’s really going on around you. Stay the course until all your questions are answered.
BORN THIS WEEK: You radiate light and warmth, and others love being close to you. You also might be quite nurturing with children.
Don’t Mess with Nature
~ Well, it’s that time of year again, when people with less sense than animals head into the wild and carelessly approach large, dangerous wildlife. So it was in Yellowstone National Park this month, when 1) a 30-year-old New Jersey man was gored by a bison on June 10 after getting too close, and 2) bystanders caught a video of a woman walking a toddler right up to a grazing bison at the same park on June 2, according to KDVR-TV. The New Jersey man was treated at the scene for minor injuries. The bison, thankfully, ignored the adult and toddler. “Bison will defend their space when threatened and have injured more people in Yellowstone than any other animal,” wildlife officials said.

Mr. Yang had begun to feel a strange sensation in his stomach, so he sought medical help; he told doctors he had been too afraid to tell his parents at the time of the incident. He also thought the toothbrush would dis solve on its own. But 52 years later, the nearly 7-inch-long brush was lodged in his small intestine, and doctors worked for 80 minutes to remove it. Dr. Zhou said the brush was stuck in a crook of the intes tine and hadn’t moved for decades.

~ An unnamed Bristol, Connecticut, man was charged with burglary, trespassing and criminal mischief on June 22 after he tried to enter a public building through the chimney, the Associated Press reported. According to police, the man’s dog was trapped in the building’s restroom after the doors automatically locked, and rather than call for help, he tried to shimmy down the chimney but got stuck. Firefighters responded and had to remove parts of the chimney and building, causing $5,000 to $10,000 worth of damage. He was eventually freed and was unharmed. “If he had just contacted police in the first place, we might have been able to avoid the situation,” said Erica Benoit of the Bristol parks and rec service.

~ A mother, father and adult son in Havlickuv Brod, Czech Republic, have pleaded guilty to running a fake dental clinic in their home, the Associated Press reported on June 19. They all face up to eight years in prison for the ruse, during which the son would look up how to do procedures (including extractions) on the internet; the mother, a nurse, would assist, and the dad made prosthetic devices. They raked in about $185,000 before being caught after a patient consulted another dentist about complications following treatment.
BY BRIAN ZINCHUK
PERTH, AUSTRALIA – Arizona Lithium is selling its namesake property to go all-in on its Prairie Lithium project at Torquay, Saskatchewan.
If that sounds a little complicated, it’s because it is. Arizona Lithium is a Perth, Australia-based lithium developer. (Australia is a major lithium producer). Their initial project was the “Big Sandy Lithium Project,” in Arizona, hence the company name. It is in that state the company has been working to develop a sedimentary lithium mine. In December, 2022, the company purchased Emerald Park, Saskatchewan-based Prairie Lithium Corporation, who drilled the first targeted lithium well in Canada in the fall of 2021. That deal was for total consideration of approximately C$70.6 million, consisting of C$40.0 million in cash and 500.0 million common shares of AZL at a deemed price of C$0.0612 per share based on the 10-day VWAP of AZL’s shares.
The Prairie Lithium project is based on using a process known as “Direct Lithium Extraction” (DLE) to produce concentrated lithium from sedimentary brines. The concept relies on existing oil and gas technology and services for all of its subsurface and most of its surface facilities. The key distinctions are the DLE process, and the final product – saleable lithium vs crude oil, and dramatically less environmental impact with minimal surface disturbance compared to a sedimentary mine.
In addition to the Big Sandy mine project, Arizona Lithium had also built its “Lithium Re-
search Centre” at Tempe, Arizona. It, too is part of the deal.
Arizona Lithium has continued to advance its Saskatchewan project, drilling six wells on three pads near Torquay, Saskatchewan, in 2024. The company had previously said it is on a path to small-scale commercialization in the short term, if the funds could be raised to support it. But development at Big Sandy has been slow, to say the least, prompting the company to make the announcement on July 8 that it would be going all-in on the Prairie Lithium project.
“Arizona Lithium Limited (ASX: AZL, AZLO, OTC: AZLAF), a company focused on the sustainable development of the Prairie Lithium Project is pleased to announce that is has entered into agreements where on completion it will raise cash proceeds of US$5 million (approximately A$8 million) by selling the Big Sandy Lithium Project and the Lithium Research Center,” said the company’s press release.
It continued, “The strategic sale and non-dilutive fundraising effort, combined with a recently announced Share Purchase Plan that was oversubscribed and raised approximately A$4.25 million, will help to fund the development of the Prairie Lithium Project, that now becomes Arizona Lithium’s 100 per cent core focus.
“While the Big Sandy Project remains a competitive lithium sedimentary project by resource metrics, the development hurdles encountered over the past five years are in stark contrast to the expedited permitting and production opportunities of the Prairie Lithium Project in Saskatchewan, Canada. The company believes that
the lithium sedimentary resource at Big Sandy should continue to be developed for the economic benefit of the region and the betterment of battery material supply chains in the United States. Given the regulatory environment, the development of the project may take an unforeseen amount of time, and therefore, the company believes the team at Arizona Lithium can continue to focus its efforts and capital in the near-term producing asset on the Prairie Lithium Project. On 19 May 2025, Arizona Lithium announced it had received approval for Phase 1 production at the Prairie Lithium Project from the Ministry of Energy and Resources in Saskatchewan. The company looks forward to more positive news on the Prairie Lithium Project in the coming months.”
Arizona Lithium had previously said it had hoped to begin small-scale commercial production of lithium as early as late 2025, but depressed lithium prices since then have been a factor in that development. With slim prospects of seeing revenue coming from Big Sandy any time soon, the decision was made to focus on the most expedient path to revenue generation.
Arizona Lithium Managing Director Paul Lloyd said in the release, “This agreement is transformational for Arizona Lithium and the decision was not taken lightly by myself and the Board of Directors. As a company we had two world class assets – the Prairie Lithium Project and the Big Sandy Lithium Project. A company of our size is best placed focusing on and funding one key asset and the choice for us was a hard one but an obvious one given the Prairie Lithium Project is deep into its development and years closer to first production. We look forward to creating shareholder value and wealth as a fully focused lithium development company.”
As for the sale, AZL and Big Sandy Inc, are the seller parties and Big Sandy Lithium, LLC and Advanced Lithium Research Center, LLC (indirect subsidiaries of Navajo Transitional Energy Company, LLC) as the buyer parties, for the consideration of USD$5 million.
The Mining Services Agreement entered into between the Arizona Lithium and NTEC on 8 March 2024 will terminate on closing and the remaining AZL shares subject to escrow will be released as full and final reimbursement for expenditures incurred by NTEC towards unsatisfied milestones which exceed the value of the shares released from escrow, according to the release.
“NTEC will remain AZL’s largest shareholder and will benefit from the fast tracking of the Prairie Lithium Project,” the release said.
“AZL retains its main undertaking, being the Prairie Lithium Project, therefore the sale of Big Sandy is not required to be subject to shareholder approval,” the release added.
Prairie Lithium Corp. was founded and helmed by Zach Maurer, originally from Weyburn. He remains involved as executive director of Arizona Lithium, and has been heading up efforts in Saskatchewan. Maurer accompanied Premier Scott Moe in a recent trade mission to Washington this past spring which included a focus on critical minerals.
Upon closing of the deal, which is expected imminently, Arizona Lithium will no longer be operating in its namesake state. However, no mention was made of renaming the company, and doing so with a publicly listed company can be costly and time consuming. So as it stands now, the Australian company named for an American State will focus 100 per cent on its Saskatchewan project.

Q:What ever happened to the new “Cape Fear” movie with Tom Hardy? Wasn’t it supposed to come out a couple years ago? —
D.E.
A:It was fake news. You probably saw an ad featuring a movie poster of Tom Hardy, Mark Ruffalo, and Emily Blunt starring in the remake of “Cape Fear.” It certainly looked like great casting with Hardy in the menacing role Robert De Niro played in 1991 (and Robert Mitchum played in the original 1962 version). However, as enticing as this remake looked with the amazing Hardy playing a cigar-chomping Max Cady, it never came to fruition. There is a remake in the works but in the form of a series with an entirely different cast. Javier Bardem, who won an Oscar for his portrayal of another conscienceless killer in the 2007 film “No Country for Old Men,” is taking on the De Niro role. The 10-episode series is currently in production in Atlanta with an eventual release on Apple TV+ in 2026. It will co-star Amy Adams (“Sharp Objects”) and Patrick Wilson (“Fargo”).
As for Hardy, his new Paramount+ series “MobLand” has already been renewed for season two, and he has two films in development: “Mad Max: The Wasteland” and a film about Navy SEALS called “War Party.”
Q:Why did they cancel “Grosse Pointe Garden Society”? Is there a chance it could wind up somewhere else? — K.D.
A:According to TVLine, the dramedy about four members of a suburban garden club mixed up in mischief and murder was canceled by NBC after one season. The first clue was probably the fact that it was moved from Sunday to Friday nights after just three episodes. Despite the fact that it came from the creative mind of Jenna Bans, who’s behind hits like “Desperate Housewives” and “Scandal,” it just didn’t catch on.
Melissa Fumero (“Brooklyn NineNine”), who played messy socialite Birdie in the series, calls her character “one for the books” and says she’ll
“miss the incredible group of humans” involved with the show. As for the chance that “Grosse Pointe Garden Society” could be rescued by a streamer like Netflix, it’s definitely not unheard of, but the cast and crew seem to have accepted the show’s fate. ***
Q:
Will “The Bear” be back for another season on Hulu after the current one? I keep reading that this might be the last one. — D.A.
A:Hulu hasn’t yet announced if its crown jewel “The Bear” with its 21 Emmy wins will be renewed for a fifth season, but they’d be crazy not to renew it. The decision surely rests in the hands of the show’s creator, Christopher Storer, and his busy cast.
The series’ main star, Jeremy Allen White, might soon be adding an Oscar next to his Emmy if his portrayal of the Boss in the upcoming film “Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere” is as impressive as expected. His “Bear” co-star Ebon Moss-Bacharach stars in “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” which will surely make a big splash at the box office.

There’s a big hole in a street that caused many accidents and several deaths. The mayor held a meeting with the most intelligent people of the neighbourhood to discuss solutions for this problem.
The first suggests putting an ambulance next to the hole, so whenever an accident happens the victims can be transported to the hospital and avoid fatalities.
The second points out that there may be a scenario where a big accident happens while the ambulance is busy transporting victims of another accident, and he suggests to put 10 ambulances instead of just one.
The third interrupts and raises concerns about the prices of gas and how building a hospital next to the hole would cost less in the long run.
That’s when the mayor interrupts them and tells them that such solution is very expensive, and instead he decides to fill the hole and dig it back in front of the town’s hospital.
Late one night a man is driving down the road, speeding quite a bit. A cop notices how fast he is going and pulls him over. The cop says to the man, “Are you aware of how fast you were going?”
The man replies, “Yes I am. I’m trying to escape a robbery I got involved in.”
The cop gives him a skeptical look and says, “Were you the one being robbed?”
The man casually replies, “No, I committed the robbery.”
The cop looks shocked that the man admitted this. “So you’re telling me you were speeding... AND committed a robbery?”
“Yes,” the man calmly says. “I have the loot in the back.”
The cop begins to get angry. “Sir, I’m afraid you have to come with me.” The cop reaches in the window to subdue the man.
“Don’t do that!” the man yells fearfully. “I’m scared you will find the gun in my glove compartment!” The cop pulls his hand out. “Wait here,” he says.
The cop calls for backup. Soon cops, cars, and helicopters are flooding the area. The man is cuffed quickly and taken towards a car. However, before he gets in, a cop walks up to him and says, while gesturing to the cop that pulled him over, “Sir, this officer informed us that you had committed a robbery, had stolen loot in the trunk of your car,
and had a loaded gun in your glove compartment. However, we found none of these things in your car.”
The man replies, “Yeah, and I bet that liar said I was speeding too!”
Two guys are at the store, one old and one young. They are pushing their carts around the grocery store when they collide.
The old guy says to the young guy, “Sorry about that. I’m looking for my wife, and I guess I wasn’t paying attention to where I was going.”
The young guy says, “That’s okay, it’s a coincidence. I’m looking for my wife, too!
I can’t find her and I’m getting a little desperate.”
The old guy says, “Well, maybe I can help you find her. What does she look like?”
The young guy says, “Well, she is 27 yrs. old, tall, with red hair, blue eyes, is buxom, wearing no bra, long legs, and is wearing short shorts.
What does your wife look like?”
The old guy replies, “Doesn’t matter ... let’s look for yours.”
Two men are walking their dogs (a doberman and a chihuahua) when they see a restaurant. They’re pretty hungry, so they decide to head in for a bite to eat. Unfortunately, they see a sign out front that says “NO DOGS ALLOWED”.
The man with the doberman says “I know what to do, just follow my lead.” He throws on a pair of sunglasses and walks in.
The waiter tells him “I’m sorry sir, we don’t allow dogs here.” The man says “Oh, you don’t understand. I’m blind and this is my guide dog.”
“A doberman for a guide dog?” The waiter asks, skeptical.
“Yes.” The man replies. “Dobermans are very loyal. They’re easy to train and protective too. They’re born for the job.”
The waiter sighs and leads the man to a table. The second man, excited by this idea, throws on his sunglasses and walks in.
The waiter tells him “I’m sorry sir, we don’t allow dogs here.” The man says “Oh, you don’t understand. I’m blind and this is my guide dog.”
“A chihuahua for a guide dog? Really?” The waiter asks.
“A chihuahua?” The man exclaims. “They gave me a chihuahua?!”
