    Some dogs were born to lend a helping hand (or paw!) 
     
    Stella, a corgi puppy, is one of them. With her natural herding instincts and big attitude, Mateo thinks she'll be the perfect new addition to his family's ranch! 
     
    But Mateo's family isn't convinced. They wanted a big, tough livestock guardian dog, not this tiny creature! She's more likely to become lunch for the coyotes than to help run the ranch. And it doesn't matter anyway; Mateo's father, Werner, has decided to sell the ranch. 
     
    To save their home, Stella and Mateo must prove that even the smallest and youngest members of a family can make the biggest difference. Can they rise to the challenge?

    The villain’s a poet, the weapon is verse, and the whole world’s a stage. 
    The Ar’dath-Irr’s final act is nearly complete — and the applause will be apocalyptic. 
    Oscar Teabag-Dooven, once a Velvet Paw, is all that stands between a fractured universe and total obliteration. 
    But Oscar wanted to be a poet, not a hero, not a destroyer, and certainly not the most loathed animal on the planet. After his avant-garde recital triggers mass death, suspicious reincarnations and catastrophic misunderstandings involving curry, he’s the only one left to blame. 
    With his reputation in ruins and a war effort rising, Oscar and a huge cast must navigate a broken world filled with inverted corpses, bureaucratic panic and a vengeful poet-dog whose power defies life itself. Revenge seems like the only reasonable response. But in a world where hugs are abolished and poetry causes mass casualties, reason is a dangerous thing. 
    Joined by armies and navies orchestrated under Operation Fluffy Cloud, Oscar must confront his greatest fear: that this entire war might just be about him. 
    This is the climax of the Morigan Tetralogy: where poetry bends worlds and the end of everything smells faintly of cinnamon and petrol.

    Hope for the future lies with a new generation of regenerative farmers. 
     
     
     
    Within a decade, nearly half of all American farmland will change hands as an older generation of farmers steps aside. In their place, a groundswell of new growers will face numerous challenges, including soil degradation, insufficient income, and investors devouring farmland at a staggering pace. These new farmers are embracing regenerative agriculture—the holistic approach to growing food that restores the soil and biodiversity—in the movement to reclaim our health and the planet's. But can their efforts help reverse an epidemic of diet-related disease, food inequality, and even climate change? 
     
     
     
    To answer that question and more, award-winning journalist Jennifer Grayson embedded herself in a groundbreaking farmer training program, then embarked on this investigative journey. The diverse array of farmers, graziers, and food activists whom she profiles here are working toward better, more sustainable foodways for all. From a one-acre market garden in Oregon to activists reviving food sovereignty in South Carolina, A Call to Farms tells the captivating story of these new agrarians finding hope and purpose in reconnecting to the land and striving to improve the future of American food.

    THE WOLF OF WALL STREET 
    THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
      
    FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY MARTIN SCORSESE 
      
    CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
      
    ABOUT THE FILM 
    The Wolf of Wall Street is a biographical black comedy directed by Martin Scorsese, based on the memoir of stockbroker Jordan Belfort. The film follows Belfort’s rise in the world of finance, from working at a modest brokerage firm to founding his own company, Stratton Oakmont. The movie delves into his life of excess, corruption, and debauchery, highlighting themes of greed, moral decay, and the corrupting influence of wealth. With fast-paced storytelling, dark humor, and sharp social commentary, the film critiques the culture of greed and the lengths people will go to achieve success at any cost. 
      
    TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
      
    “The actors used crushed B vitamins as a stand-in for cocaine in scenes where the characters snort drugs. Jonah Hill later had to be hospitalized due to bronchitis after excessive inhalation during the filming.” 
      
    “Martin Scorsese’s films often feature improvisation, and The Wolf of Wall Street was no different. A large portion of the movie was improvised by the actors, as Scorsese encourages it during production.” 
      
    “Jonah Hill took a significant pay cut to be part of the film, earning only the minimum salary from the Screen Actors Guild, which was $60,000. This decision was driven by his desire to work with Martin Scorsese.”
