How to Place 7 Horses in Your Home for Prosperity
Seven running horses aren't just a Vastu-approved power move—they're a powerful, sprinting metaphor for speed, success, and unstoppable growth. When positioned correctly, they don't just gallop into a room; they actively bring in wealth, fame, and strong forward momentum. But... like all things ancient and aesthetically pleasing, placement is absolutely everything. Otherwise, you might just end up with a decorative stampede instead of a boost in fortune. Here's how to ensure you get the placement right, without accidentally summoning chaos instead of consistent cash flow: 1. Direction is Key: Face East or North For these horses, their running direction truly matters. Having them face towards the East or North symbolizes rising energy and an acceleration in your career. East is associated with the Sun and growth, while the North is ruled by Kuber, the revered God of wealth. So, horses facing these directions? That's like sending a clear message to the Universe: "Dear Universe, please accelerate this hustle!" Avoid: Placing horses so they face South. That energy suggests more "running away from wealth" rather than "charging directly into abundance." 2. All Horses Must Be Running, Together When choosing your artwork or statue, make sure all seven horses are running in perfect unison—you don't want any scattered, sleepy, or lagging ones. The overall vibe should clearly scream "Teamwork makes the dream work," not "Oops, one guy didn't get the memo!" Bonus Tip: If the artwork includes a rising sun in the background, that's even better. Consider it like cosmic Red Bull for your prosperity. 3. Avoid Water or Sad Colors Steer clear of any blue, grey, or black tones in the artwork or background. Incorporating water elements with the horses can actually interfere with their energetic momentum. And definitely avoid any gloomy or depressing backgrounds. Remember, this isn't a scene from The Revenant —you're going for The Wolf of Wall Street kind of energetic vibe. 4. Material Matters: Wood or Canvas Over Metal Opt for sculptures made of wood or paintings on canvas for your seven horses. These materials tend to create a warm, stable, and welcoming energy in your space. Metal can sometimes feel too cold or aggressive, unless the aesthetic is exceptionally soft and carefully done. Choose textures that feel nurturing but also dynamic. 5. Keep It at Eye Level Make sure to hang or place the seven horses where they can be easily seen at eye level—neither too close to the floor nor too high, like above doorframes. If the artwork is treated like mere background noise, its powerful energy might just do the same—fading into wallpaper status rather than actively contributing to your prosperity.

Akshaya Tritiya: Why do people buy gold on this day?
Akshaya Tritiya is an auspicious day which is celebrated each year by buying gold jewellery, silver, properties and vehicles. On this day, people worship Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Kuber to seek their blessings. Buying gold jewellery is particularly seen as a symbol of wealth and stability. According to Drik Panchang, the timings to observe this occasion will be from 5.41 am to 12.18 pm. During this, the best times to purchase gold will be from 5.31 pm to 2.12 pm when the tritiya tithi ends. Since the word Akshaya means something that can never be destroyed, people buy gold, silver and other precious metals on this day as they believe that their value will never reduce. Some people also buy properties, new vehicles or start new businesses on this auspicious day. The popular belief states that during this time, the cosmic energies of the universe align to attract positive results in any new venture. Thus, any new investments or purchases are likely to give positive results. Also read: Gold watches to buy on Akshaya Tritiya: Top 10 picks for men and women from Nebula watches The significance of gold on Akshaya Tritiya also stems from the mythological belief that on this day, Kuber (god of wealth) was entrusted with the responsibility of guarding the wealth of heaven through the blessings of Lord Shiva and Lord Brahma. Meanwhile, another legend suggests that once Lord Krishna visited Pandavas during their exile, but since Draupadi had not prepared a feast for him, she asked for forgiveness. In response, Lord Krishna picked a single strand of herb, pardoning her and giving her the Akshaya Patra, a magical bowl that never runs out of food. Other than buying gold, people also visit temples and take part in spiritual activities. Some people also donate food, clothes to the poor in order to gain good karma on this day. It is also advised in Hindu practices to abstain from consuming non-vegetarian food and stick to a satvik diet.

How is the former Clearwater paper mill property being used? Here's what to know.
FOX CROSSING — The former Clearwater Paper Mill property is now available for lease. The 1.2 million-square-foot property, on the east side of 249 N. Lake Street, is listed for lease, according to real estate broker Colliers. The former mill properties were purchased in November 2021 by KK Integrated Logistics, LLC. The Michigan-based warehousing and logistics company's purchase came after Clearwater Paper Corp. shut down the mill in July 2021, displacing 285 workers and leaving an economic void in Fox Crossing. KKIL has renovated the properties, updating infrastructure from its past as a century-old paper mill, said Cynthia Kuber, president of KKIL. Here's what to know. Kuber said the mill has undergone extensive renovations, including demolishing outbuildings near Little Lake Butte des Morts, cleaning up the interior of the mill, and auctioning off machines and other equipment. She declined to disclose the project's costs or the mill's purchase price. The village of Fox Crossing did not provide any public dollars to KKIL, according to George Dearborn, director of community development. Colliers lists the 1,124,241-square-foot buildings for lease, identifying it as the former mill and distribution center. The property consists of four parcels totaling 23.9 acres, located directly on Little Lake Butte des Morts. 'All the usable space is going to be within one building,' Kuber said. 'It will be separated internally — cold storage and not cold storage.' Tony Krueger, a former Clearwater paper industrial electrician who used to troubleshoot all the machines on-site, immediately recognized three major changes for the former paper mill site. Krueger said the demolition included the boiler house and the clarifier, which was previously used to remove suspended solids from wastewater before discharging it into Little Lake Butte des Morts. A metal building that once stored a Yankee dryer for the paper machines has also been removed. The interior space advertised by Colliers has been newly painted, with heating and sprinkler systems installed and LED lights. Several truck dock doors and shelters have also been added to the building. The standard warehouse, spanning over 600,000 square feet, will be utilized to accommodate a wide range of industrials and products, including paper or pulp products, equipment, industrial goods, and ambient food-grade items, according to Kuber. Kuber said the six-story south building is currently being converted into cold storage targeting the cheese industry. The first phase of the cold storage space will be completed by May 2025, with storage availability of 15,000 pallets. Previously, KKIL said it was possible to convert it into residential apartments, with indoor parking, an outdoor rooftop area, and other amenities. Dearborn said Fox Crossing offered some money to make up for the shortfall but the project didn't come to life. "We prefer to see it converted to some kind of mixed-use, but we couldn't make that work," he said. "But it's on the water. It would have been a nice amenity there." Kuber told The Post-Crescent the apartment redevelopment never became an official plan, citing extensive costs and the misalignment with the company's overall portfolio. The company also bought the former Shopko regional distribution center in De Pere in 2019, which has since been renovated and fully leased to five tenants. The six-story building near the lake was used for converting industrial towels, napkins, toilet paper, and kitchen towels, and Clearwater Paper utilized the fifth and sixth floor for storage, said Krueger. Upon completion, the building will feature storage space capable of accommodating approximately 35,000-40,000 pallets. However, the timeline for completion remains uncertain, and will depend on the market demand, Kuber added. The mill has a rich history of ownership and production. It started life in 1910 and began making specialty papers two years later in 1912, according to a July 10, 1920 story on Appleton Post-Crescent. Lakeview Paper Company purchased the mill in 1920 and a significant portion of the products manufactured at this mill will be sold to Sears, Roebuck & Co., a major retailer based in Chicago for making catalogs. The company announced on October 9, 1920, on Appleton Post-Crescent. In 1929, Kimberly Clark purchased the mill from Sears, Roebuck & Co., named it Kimberly Clark's Lakeview Mill, expanded its finishing and shipping building, and added a restaurant and medical service. The mill manufactured specialty paper and employed 225 people. "The entire plant was carefully rebuilt to meet the needs of the new owner," The Post Crescent wrote on Dec. 31, 1929. Over the decades, the mill made major Kimberly-Clark products, including Kotex and Kleenex. The paper manufacturer built its headquarters behind the Lakeview mill in 1956, though it's since relocated. Designed by architect Bruce Graham — best known for designing Willis Tower and the John Hancock Center in Chicago — the 43.32-acre property, at 401 N. Lake St., is presently for sale. Ownership shifted several times as the industry and market dynamics changed. Kimberly Clark sold the mill to the New York-based American Tissue, Inc. in November 1996 to comply with antitrust requirements imposed by the U.S. Justice Department, following its 1995 merger with Scott Paper Company, according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The mill was later sold to Georgia-based Cellu Tissue Holdings in August 2002, as American Tissue filed for bankruptcy in 2001. Less than a decade later, in 2010, Washington-based Clearwater Paper Corporation bought the mill, as part of its acquisition of Cellu Tissue Holdings, Inc. Under Clearwater ownership, the mill produced private brand tissue products for commercial and retail customers. In 2016, Clearwater laid off 85 employees by closing two tissue machines, signaling a gradual decline in operation. Its eventual closure came as Wisconsin paper manufacturing faced a slew of changes. On June 1, 2021, Clearwater Paper notified investors of the plan to permanently shut down the Fox Crossing facility, removing three tissue machines and ten converting lines. The decision led to 285 workers losing their jobs. Trilliant Food & Nutrition has resided in the 250,000-square-foot warehouse on the west side of 249 N. Lake St. since April 1, 2022. Headquartered in Little Chute, it's the company behind Victor Allen's coffee brand and Nurri Protein Shake. It also makes private-label and branded beverages, including coffee grounds, coffee pods, teas, and fruit drink mixes. Founded in 1979 by Victor Allen Mondry, it changed its name from Victor Allen's Coffee to Trilliant in 2013. Dearborn said the property is reused and is generating revenue for the community. But the warehouse doesn't provide more than a handful of employment opportunities, he said. "It's not the one we (hoped for), but it's certainly not a bad solution," Dearborn added.
