best place for kids backpacks image

I've only read the Hunger Games and I haven't seen the Battle Royal, so of course my answer on which is better is the Hunger Games. (I'll probably read Battle Royal as soon as I can find the book.) I've heard that what Suzanne Collins wrote in the Hunger Games is just a rip off of Battle Royal. I'm just wondering how it's a rip off, besides the whole 'placing kids in an arena and making them kill each other' sort of thing. I'll probably
Answer
It's not a complete rip-off, but the two are VERY similar.
First, I'll point out the main thing that makes the two different.
In the Hunger Games (HG), Teenagers are being forced to compete in the Hunger Games for the entertainment of citizens of The Capitol. Also, the games are held annually as a lesson to the districts punishing them for an uprising that they attempted almost 75 years ago.
In Battle Royale (BR), Teenagers in (I think) one particular 7th grade class are sent on what they believe to be a school trip. During the bus ride, they're gassed and fall asleep. When they wake up, they're in an orientation room and told that they have to fight to the death. This is a program brought in by the Japanese goverment because they believe that the children have become too unruly and disrespectful. This is also an annual event.
Other differences:
- HG takes place in what used to be North America, likely hundreds of years into the future while BR is pretty much modern day Japan.
- HG usually has 24 tributes participating in their games. BR has about 46 (depending on the size of the class)
- HG is aired on television, BR is not.
- HG tributes have to run toward the cornucopia to obtain weapons. In BR, each student is given a random backpack with a random weapon or device.
- When a tribute is killed in HG, a cannon goes off and faces of the dead are displayed up in the sky. In BR, the class teacher simply announces who has died every 8 hours.
- The general public are aware of the HG, but students seem to be somewhat in the dark about the existence of BR.
- If you win the HG, your district is rewarded with extra food. There is no reward for winning BR (except keeping your life).
- There is no stated time limit for completing the HG, but in BR, there must be one person left remaining after a set amount of time otherwise EVERYONE has their head blown off by their neck-brace tracking device.
As for the similarities:
- both HG and BR have a sort of love-story element
- both involve teenagers fighting to the death
- both have arenas or battlefields that have environmental risks if you're in the wrong place at the wrong time. HG is more advanced on this point likely due to them being so futuristic.
- HG dresses up their tributes and puts them on parade and offers training and interviews, etc. BR does none of this, hence why it's not televised.
- Both have endings that you sort of expected.
Overall, HG is a much more complex story. A lot more layers than Battle Royale. Outside of the fact that there are teenagers fighting to the death, there is a whole lot more to Hunger Games.
Hope this helps.

I need to find a way to make laminated cards about the size of a credit card.?
Donna
I am trying to make tags (either plastic or laminated paper) for kids backpacks and their sports bags. I would really appreciate any information on how to do this without spending 1,000.00. Thanks

Also, there's a difference between "laminating sheets" or pouches (which are used with pressure and heat) and just the self-adhesive sheets of clear plastic sold by the small or larger box at office supply stores which can also be used in the general definition of "laminating" ---these would be the equivalent of having an 8 1/2 x 11" sheet of clear packing tape, with a removable backing sheet stuck to it.
I always have a box of these around because they come in so handy for many little laminating jobs.
Here are the self-adhesive laminating sheets I'm talking about, like these by Avery:
http://www.avery.com/us/Main?action=product.Details&catalogcode=WEB01&productcode=73602 (their photo shows laminating a larger certificate, and folding over from the *short side* though not the long side as I mention below)
or this one:
http://www.discountofficeitems.com/avery-dennison-selfadhesive-laminating-sheets-ave73603-office-products-1442.html?manufacturers_id=10318&cPath=200001_200087_200093_114183 )
To use one of these over a small cardstock/paper/plastic card while still leaving a border of clear lamination on all sides, one way to do it would be to:
...Cut a rectangle from the plastic sheet (still on its backing paper) that's a little wider than the width of the card (long edge), and twice as long as its short side plus a little more.
...Peel off the backing sheet and lay the adhesive plastic down sticky side facing up.
...Place the card on the plastic near the bottom but with a bit of a margin left.
...Then carefully fold the rest of the clear sheet down over the card *leaving a margin at the top where the sticky sheet will stick only to itself*... kind of roll it down so you won't get any wrinkles you can't smooth out with a fingernail.
...Now trim away with scissors any of the extra lamination you don't want on the 3 non-folded sides, and run a fingernail or butter knife around the margins next to the card to completely seal it in.
You can also do this *without leaving any excess lamination* around the edges by folding the lamination sheet tightly to the card in the foldover step, and trimming away *all* the excess clear sheet, but that may leave the very edges susceptible to water, etc.
You can then punch a hole in the lamination border only, or in the card-and-lamination area, with a hole punch then add a ball chain or some kind of cording, etc.
I've done this kind of thing before often, and it works well.
P.S. If actual packing tape is wide enough for what you want and you have some around, it can be handled and cut more easily if you lay a long piece of it onto waxed paper first (which substitutes for the backing paper of purchased laminating sheets).
