El Gattopardo, o El Guepard (títol original, en italià, Il Gattopardo) és l'única novel·la de l'escriptor i aristòcrata italià Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa, apareguda l'any 1958 a títol pòstum i premiada amb el premi Strega l'any següent.

Tomasi di Lampedusa hi descriu alguns episodis de la vida de Fabrizio Salina, un príncep sicilià, en el context de les turbulències revolucionàries italianes del Risorgimento, que el porten a descriure el caràcter sicilià i les peculiaritats de Sicília al llarg de la història, i la seva interpretació de la transició entre un ordre antic i un nou ordre.

L'autor s'inspirà en Giulio Fabrizio di Lampedusa, el seu besavi, per crear el personatge de don Fabrizio. Les armes d'aquest patriarca eren un lleó lleopardat (és a dir, el lleó de perfil, lleó passant, com un lleopard, a diferència del lleó rampant), que l'autor va transformar en guepard «dansant» a la seva obra.

L'autor va declarar que les reflexions del príncep Salina sobre la societat eren en realitat les seves. En apropar-se les celebracions del centenari de la unificació italiana, l'autor volia parlar de l'oportunisme que segons ell havia caracteritzat l'època, ben lluny de l'entusiasme que presentava la historiografia oficial italiana. De vegades presentada com una novel·la «reaccionària», aquesta obra és en realitat molt crítica sobre les elits tradicionals.

Context històric
La novel·la s'inicia el 12 de maig de 1860, al mig del curt regnat de Francesc II de les Dues Sicílies, que acabava de succeir el seu pare Ferran II, mort un any abans (a 49 anys). Aquell mes de maig marca també el començament de l'Expedició dels Mil, comandada per Garibaldi, que va desembarcar l'11 de maig a Marsala (Sicília) i en tres setmanes va aconseguir el domini de l'illa.

Resum

Primera part: 12 i 13 de maig de 1860
Entre dos resos del rosari, la primera part ressegueix 24 hores de la vida del príncep Salina; la revolució garibaldina irromp en la quotidianitat d'aquesta família aristocràtica. S'anuncia el desembarcament dels piemontesos el dia abans. Tancredi, nebot i pupil molt estimat del príncep, s'uneix a les tropes revolucionàries després d'haver revelat el seu propòsit al seu oncle; ell i el príncep parlen dels esdeveniments polítics. Tancredi pronuncia la famosa frase « perquè tot quedi com abans, cal que tot canvïi », i argumenta que sumar-se a la revolució és la manera d'evitar que vingui la república, cosa que seria pitjor per a la seva classe social. Després d'uns dubtes inicials, i de parlar amb el seu administrador i el seu capellà, el príncep es convenç de la idea, i pensa que no hi haurà res més que un simple intercanvi de dinasties reials (dels Borbons als Savoia) i potser el traspàs del veritable poder econòmic a la puixant burgesia.

Segona part: agost 1860
Com tots els estius, la família Salina abandona el seu palau principal de Palerm per anar a la seva residència de Donnafugata. És l'ocasió d'una descripció de Sicília i de l'aridesa del seu clima en aquest final d'estiu. Les autoritats locals acullen la família principesca amb la cerimònia de costum, cosa que conforta el príncep en la idea que res no ha canviat malgrat que, al primer rang de les autoritats, don Calogero Sedara exhibeix la flamant banda tricolor d'alcalde. En el curs del sopar ofert pel príncep, la filla de l'alcalde, Angelica, altera tots els convidats per la seva bellesa, i Tancredi comença a festejar-la, trencant les esperances de Concetta, una de les filles del príncep i cosina seva, que n'està enamorada.

Tercera part: octubre 1860
La ruralia de Donnafugata permet al príncep Salina de consagrar-se a partides de caça en la tardor naixent. Durant una d'elles, el príncep conversa amb Don Ciccio Tumeo sobre les convulsions polítiques d'Itàlia i l'interroga sobre don Calogero Sedara, ja que Tancredi ha demanat al príncep que demani a Sedàra la mà d'Angelica. Aquesta partida de caça barreja amb talent la Història i la història. A la tarda, a la petició de mà, Sedàra anuncia la dot que donarà a la seva filla i el príncep es convenç que Tancredi farà un bon matrimoni, ja que no té patrimoni personal. Com la primera part, aquesta es desenrotlla en 24 hores però amb un parell de flash-backs.

Quarta part: novembre 1860
El major tracte continuat entre el príncep i Sedàra els dóna ocasió per apreciar millor les diferències de classe, i els avantatges d'una i altra manera de fer les coses. Tancredi arriba com a oficial del nou exèrcit reial, junt amb un company d'armes que està enamorat de Concetta, però aquesta no li fa cas. Angelica acut regularment al palau dels Salina. El desig de la jove parella es tradueix en carreres interminables pels racons més misteriosos del palau. La nova Itàlia envia el cavaller Aimone Chevalley de Monterzuolo, un funcionari piemontès, per convèncer el príncep Salina que accepti el nomenament de senador. Aquest el rebutja, però aconsella el nomenament de don Calogero. Aquestes converses mostren el desencís del príncep per la impossibilitat de canviar Sicília i el caràcter sicilià. La vinguda de Chevalley permet també de mostrar Sicília a un estranger, procés que du a terme Tancredi.

Cinquena part: febrer 1861
El pare Pirrone torna al seu poble natal de San Cono. Esdevé el protagonista d'aquesta part. S'exposa la seva opinió política sobre la nova Itàlia, i fa una anàlisi de les classes socials. Abans de marxar, el pare Pirrone arregla el matrimoni de la seva neboda Angelina, embarassada, amb el seu nebot Santino Pirrone, arreglant de pas uns antics litigis per herències. Aquest matrimoni estableix un paral·lelisme amb el de la intriga principal (Angelica/Tancredi).

Sisena part: novembre 1862
La família Salina acut al ball dels Ponteleone. És l'ocasió de presentar Angelica a la societat palermitana. El príncep, molest per les distraccions fútils dels convidats, s'aïlla a la biblioteca del palau, on reflexiona sobre el seu declivi personal i el de la seva classe aristocràtica, i fins sobre la seva mort. Però Angelica entra per demanar-li que li concedeixi un vals i el príncep oblida temporalment els seus pensaments funestos. És en aquest moment en què es suggereix perquè el príncep ha no només acceptat sinó facilitat el matrimoni del seu nebot amb Angelica, l'extracció plebea de la qual ha estat àmpliament exposada anteriorment: ell experimenta un sentiment no manifestat per Angelica que reprimeix tot fent-lo real per mitjà d'altri i justificant aquest matrimoni pels alts i baixos polítics. En el moment del retorn cap a la casa, que el príncep escull de fer a peu, les estrelles són l'ocasió de trobar el seu sentiment de solitud.

Si es considera l'hora del retorn del príncep (6 hores del matí), l'hora d'arribada al ball (22 h 30) i el temps des preparar-hi, aquesta part dura aproximadament una mitja jornada, com la següent.

Setena part;: juliol 1883
21 anys després del ball, el príncep torna d'un viatge a Nàpols on s'és retut per una visita mèdica. Un malestar l'impedeix de tornar a casa i ha d'aturar-se a l'hotel Trinacria, on mor, enmig de reflexions de conjunt sobre la seva vida.

Aquesta part dura una mitja jornada.

Vuitena part: maig 1910
Retorn al palau dels Salina força anys després de la mort del príncep, i tres anys després de la mort de Tancredi. Es constata que Angelica, ja vídua, segueix essent una persona influent. En canvi, les tres filles, Concetta, Caterina i Carolina, no s'han arribat a casar mai, i s'han convertit en unes beates. Una d'elles (Carolina) col·lecciona unes relíquies que el cardenal de Palerm fa analitzar. L'ensorrament és total: aquestes relíquies són gairebé totes falses, i per una carta d'Angelica, Concetta descobreix que ha odiat Tancredi tota la vida per una ximpleria i un malentès. Com a símbol de la fi de l'últim dels Salina, Concetta llença per la finestra el gos dissecat, que tan estimà el seu pare; el gos queda reduït a pols.

Personatges

Personatges principals
 Don Fabrizio Corbera, príncep Salina (el Guepard). Veu l'aristocràcia enfonsar-se però no fa res per oposar-s'hi. Un personatge lúcid i clarivident, esquinçat entra la despreocupació siciliana del seu pare i l'orgull fred de la seva mare alemanya. A part del pes del seu nom i la seva casa, només es pot distingir per la seva superioritat intel·lectual: ha rebut nombroses distincions pels seus descobriments en astronomia i en matemàtiques, que li donen la impressió il·lusòria de dominar encara el món - ha descobert dos petits planetes, inalterables a l'imaginari poètic, que bateja amb els noms de Salina i de Svelto, un dels seus gossos de caça.

 Tancredi Falconeri, nebot de don Fabrizio, que esdevingué el seu tutor en quedar-se orfe. Noble arruïnat pels malbarataments del seu pare, participa en la revolució garibaldina però a continuació s'enrola en l'exèrcit regular. D'un caràcter alegre i ple d'encant, es beneficia del suport del seu oncle. Segons Tancredi, « perquè tot quedi com abans, cal que tot canvïi », idea que el portarà a seguir els esdeveniments amb la finalitat de conservar els avantatges de la seva classe. No té doncs res d'un noble romàntic, fidel a una causa perduda (la dels Borbó) i a una tradició aristocràtica: ell es suma a la causa liberal per ambició. Voluntariós i seductor, fa un matrimoni avantatjós amb Angelica, la bellíssima filla de l'alcalde rural. Encarna l'ardor de viure sense deixar-se entorpir pel passat.

 Don Calogero Sedàra. És l'alcalde del poble de Donnafugata, situat sobre les terres del príncep i on la família Salina estiueja cada any. Sedàra representa l'ascens de les forces noves. Avar, arribista i nou ric, intel·ligent però sense cultura ni distinció, aparta tot el que li fa nosa en el camí de la seva ascensió política i social. Casat amb donna Bastiana, una criatura superba, però « animal », hom sospita que va fer assassinar el pare d'aquesta, Peppe Giunta, un mitger del príncep, sobrenomenat, en raó de la seva extrema brutor, « Peppe 'Mmerda ». Jutja ingenus els aristòcrates, que considera com ovelles a tondre, però descobreix els avantatges de la bona educació en tractar més assíduament el príncep Salina. S'alegra de l'ascensió social que permetrà l'aliança de la seva família amb la dels Falconeri, que veu com un bon negoci. Busca integrar-se a l'aristocràcia fins al punt d'intentar fer creure que és baró del Biscotto.

 Angelica Sedàra. És la filla de don Calogero Sedàra i de donna Bastiana. Angelica és d'una bellesa esclatant però d'una « gràcia vulgar ». Arribada d'una estada de quatre anys a un col·legi de Florència, té pretensions de distinció, però els seus orígens rústics la traeixen, per exemple quan menja la seva sopa amb la cullera « sòlidament agafada a mig mànec » en el moment del sopar al palau dels Salina. Es casa amb Tancredi per interès, segons el príncep Salina (« És una jove noieta com les altres, que vol fer un bonic matrimoni ; potser fins i tot és un poc enamorada de el nostre Tancredi… » diu). La sensualitat i la bellesa animal del personatge es posen en evidència en alguns moments, per exemple quan es fa esment de « la seva gropa magnífica ». Malgrat la diferència d'edat i de condició entre ella i el príncep, Angelica té prou intuïció per comprendre les autèntiques motivacions del príncep i sent per ell alguna cosa més que el simple reconeixement.

 Concetta Salina, filla del príncep i cosina de Tancredi, és l'antítesi d'Angelica. Apareix en principi com ingènua i plàcida però també secretament apassionada. Està enamorada de Tancredi, que es casarà amb Angelica. Aquesta unió l'entristeix però s'esforça per fer un bon paper. Aquesta actitud contrasta amb les reflexions oportunistes d'Angelica, que es demana perquè les filles Salina no proven de atrapar l'amic de Tancredi, Cavriaghi, quan veu que Concetta no correspon a l'amor que aquest li professa. Manifesta força ànim cara a les proves i es revela més realista que els seus germans i germanes. Romandrà tota la vida empresonada en la seva reserva. Als 70 anys s'adonarà que de jove va passar d'estimar Tancredi a odiar-lo per un malentès, i que això ha estat una pèrdua de temps.

 Pare Pirrone, jesuïta. Capellà de la família Salina, a la que és molt fidel, però dèbil, no sap dir no al príncep. Manifesta una visió clara de la situació política el maig 1860, quan comença el relat, i posa en guarda el príncep contra el fet de seguir els liberals, preveient que si la distribució dels béns de l'Església no és suficent, es desposseirà la noblesa.

 Don Ciccio Tumeo, company de caça del príncep en el moment de les seves estades a Donnafugata, és d'origen modest, però molt lligat als Borbó de Nàpols, gràcies a la generositat dels quals va poder estudiar i dels quals la seva mare rebia suport econòmic en moments de dificultat. Organista de l'església de Donnafugata, informa francament el príncep sobre els antecedents de la família Sedàra, quan Salina a petició de Tancredi ha de demanar a Sedàra la mà d'Angelica. Aquest projecte de matrimoni l'indigna, ja que segons ell representa una traïció i una rendició. Ciccio Tumeo profetitza « Això serà la fi dels Falconeri, i dels Salina ! » Vota no en el moment del plebiscit que decideix la unió de Sicília al Regne de Sardenya, en definitiva la unificació italiana. Sentint els resultats anunciats per don Calogero Sedàra, l'alcalde de Donnafugata (« inscrits: 515 ; votants: 512 ; sí: 512 ; no: zero »), comprèn que s'ha fet trampa i resta encara més enfadat amb el nou règim.

 Bendicò, el gran danès del príncep, que segons va manifestar l'autor (vegeu més avall), és un dels personatges principals, « gairebé la clau del llibre ». És allà des del començament fins al final, acabant-se la novel·la amb la destrucció del seu cadàver dissecat. Representa la caiguda de l'antiga casta aristocràtica, evidenciant que la decadència és total, arriba fins al gos.

Personatges històrics
 Giuseppe Garibaldi, mencionat nombroses vegades, però no intervé al llibre.
 Ferran II i Francesc II, el seu fill, reis de les Dues Sicílies: a la primera part el príncep Salina recorda l'última audiència que Ferran II li va concedir.
 El coronel Emilio Pallavicini, que va fer presoner Garibaldi a Aspromonte: apareix en el moment de l'escena del ball, a la sisena part.
 I també, pel que fa als esdeveniments històrics mencionats:
 Victor-Emmanuel II
 Napoleó III
 Giuseppe Mazzini

Fonts d'inspiració de l'autor
En una carta enviada el 30 de maig de 1957 al seu amic Enrico Merlo di Tagliavia, Tomasi diu, sobre els personatges i llocs de la novel·la, entre altres coses:És superflu dir-te que el Príncep de Salina és el príncep de Lampedusa, Giulio Fabrizio, el meu besavi; tot és real: l'estatura, la matemàtica, la falsa violència, l'escepticisme, la muller, la mare alemanya, el rebuig de ser senador. El Pare Pirrone també és autèntic, fins i tot el nom. Crec que els he fet a tots dos més intel·ligents del que realment van ser. Tancredi és físicament i de caràcter, Giò [el fill adoptiu de l'escriptor, Gioacchino Lanza Tomasi]; moralment és una barreja del senador Scalea i de Pietro, el seu fill. [...] Donnafugata en tant que poble és Palma [di Montechiaro]; en tant que palau, és Santa Margherita [di Belice]. [...] La qüestió de les relíquies que posa el final a tot és absolutament autèntica, vista per mi mateix. La Sicília és la que és: la del 1860, d'abans i de sempre. [...] Atenció: el gos Bendicò és un personatge importantíssim, és gairebé la clau de la novel·la. Posteriorment s'han identificat altres llocs de Sicília que han inspirat llocs, personatges o episodis concrets.

Adaptació
El Gattopardo fou adaptat al cinema ("Il gattopardo") l'any 1963 per Luchino Visconti i diversos guionistes, entre ells Suso Cecchi D'Amico, amb qui ja havia col·laborat en altres ocasions. El film els va permetre igualment de trobar Alain Delon i Claudia Cardinale, que apareixien ja a Rocco i els seus germans. Burt Lancaster era per contra un nouvingut a l'univers del realitzador. La tria de l'actor americà fou propiciada per Goffredo Lombardo, productor del film.

Aquesta reconstitució minuciosa de la Sicília de mitjans del  va mobilitzar un equip nombrós i un pressupost molt important. El film va obtenir un gran èxit de públic i critica a Europa, recompensat sobretot per una Palma d'or al festival de Canes l'any 1963. Alguns crítics van reprotxar tanmateix a Visconti, del qual les primeres realitzacions eren a l'origen del « nou realisme », un classicisme retrògrad.

Visconti mostra la solitud del príncep Salina i la percepció que té de l'ocàs del seu món, especialment a través de la llarga seqüència del ball (44 minuts) que gairebé tanca el film. Les parts setena i vuitena del llibre (mort del príncep i final de les seves filles) no apareixen en el film.

Sadek family appeals dismissal of wrongful death lawsuit
Kim Hyatt Forum News Service
FARGO — Attorneys for the family of Andrew Sadek, a college student who became a police informant, filed an appeal of a judge's dismissal of a wrongful death lawsuit Wednesday with the North Dakota Supreme Court.
It's the latest step in a three-year legal battle for the family. The lawsuit, first filed in 2016, was dismissed by Southeast District Judge Jay Schmitz in May. The appeal is requesting the higher court overturn Schmitz's decision.
The suit accuses Richland County and Sheriff's Deputy Jason Weber of negligence, fraud and deceit in their recruitment of Sadek, and alleges he was misled into becoming an informant.
Sadek, 20, was two weeks shy of graduating from North Dakota State College of Science in Wahpeton when he disappeared May 1, 2014. His body was found in the Red River two months later with a bullet lodged in his head and a backpack filled with rocks tied around him. An autopsy was inconclusive on whether his death was a homicide or suicide.
In his dismissal, Schmitz wrote: "One can only speculate, almost endlessly: Was Andrew's death a suicide or homicide? If it was homicide, who did it? What was the killer's, or killers', motivation? Was Andrew killed during a drug deal? If so, was it related to his role as a confidential informant?"
Parents Tammy and John Sadek believe their son's death was a homicide, possibly connected to his work as an informant. Investigators say the case remains open and active.
Tatum O'Brien, attorney for Sadek's parents, said there will be oral arguments presented to the Supreme Court at a later date after attorneys for both sides have submitted their positions on the appeal.
"I'm ready to do it," Sadek's mother said of the appeal. "It rejuvenated us."
Tammy Sadek said Wednesday that the family is receiving support from the communities of Wahpeton and Valley City, near the family's home in Rogers.
A recent Forum story marking the five-year anniversary of the case prompted a number of people to send letters and call the family, she said. The messages are reaffirming the family's decision to keep fighting for justice, she said.
"I just want them to admit they screwed up," she said of law enforcement recruiting her son to do undercover work.
Andrew Sadek was caught selling 3.3 grams of marijuana to confidential informants on the Wahpeton campus in April 2013. He met with Weber, who works for the Southeast Multi-County Agency Narcotics Task Force (SEMCA), in November to sign an informant contract.
Andrew Sadek disappeared the following spring. He had made some undercover drug buys but was expected to do more.
If the appeal is successful, the case will come back to Richland County District Court where it could go to trial.

Hailstone Shape Factor and Its Relation to Radar Interpretation of Hail
Nancy C. Knight
The shape factor of hailstones, defined as the ratio of their long and short axes (m′/m), has been measured for hailstones from three geographical areas: northeastern Colorado, central Oklahoma and central Alberta. The results show a general tendency toward decreasing sphericity with increasing size and are different for different areas. The results are relevant to remote hail sensing by radar techniques utilizing polarization.

The Climatology of Hailstone Embryos
Data on hailstone embryo types, using a broad classification as graupel or frozen drops, are presented from several geographical areas representing distinctly different storm "climatologies." The relative frequency of the two embryo types varies greatly from area to area, in a Way that correlates rather well with average cloud-base temperature. The warmer based clouds produce hail with more frozen drop embryos. The correlation may be explainable either in terms of the dominant precipitation growth process—liquid coalescence or the ice process—or in terms of recycling of embryos, or both. In light of these results, the transferability of any hail suppression technology from one area to another should not be considered to be automatic.

The Final Freezing of Spongy Ice: Hailstone Collection Techniques and Interpretations of Structures
Charles A. Knight and Nancy C. Knight
Small volumes of spongy ice were produced by nucleating supercooled water in balloons at temperatures from −3 to −10C. The original freezing structure is faithfully preserved by quenching the spongy ice in a dry ice-alcohol mixture, and this method is suggested as an important collection technique for freshly fallen hailstones. With slower final freezing rates, recrystallization takes place, consisting of either grain growth only, or of nucleation and growth of new grains. Free growth of ice in water at or above −10C is probably not accompanied by spontaneous nucleation of new crystals in these experiments; reports to the contrary may be a result of primary recrystallization, which does occur at normal rates of final freezing.

Results of a Randomized Hail Suppression Experiment in Northeast Colorado. Part V: Hailstone Embryo Types
Hailstones collected within or near the National Hail Research Experiment (NHRE) target area on 23 days of the randomized seeding experiment were sectioned and classified as to embryo type. No significant correlations were found between embryo type and hail size, hail amount or cloud base temperature, but a suggestive relation between seeding and embryo type does exist. The seeded storms had a substantially greater tendency to produce hail with "frozen drop" embryos than did non-seeded storms. Two simple tests give probabilities of obtaining the results by chance of 0.13 and 0.22. The result is suggestive enough to be worth investigating in a future experiment.

Magnitude of Error Factors in Estimates of Snow-Particle Masses from Images
Andrew G. Detwiler, Nancy C. Knight, and Andrew J. Heymsfield
Ice particles are captured, photographed, melted, and then photographed again. Mass is estimated from the size of the melted drop. Based on a sample of 640 particles, the standard error in estimating particle mass solely from the maximum dimension of the particle is found to be a factor of 4. The standard error in estimating mass concentration M in a cloud from a sample of n well-characterized particles recorded by an optical array probe is estimated to be approximately a factor of 100.6/n^1/2.

Distribution of Water in Hailstones
Petr Chýlek, B. R. D. Gupta, Nancy C. Knight, and Charles A. Knight
A large number of photographs of thin sections of quenched hailstones have been studied to determine the most common patterns of water distribution within hailstones. The way in which water is distributed throughout the hailstone determines which of the mixing rules should be used to calculate an effective refractive index of water-ice mixture. We have concluded that the Maxwell-Garnett mixing rule for ice grains embedded in a water matrix is suitable for most graupel soaked with water. Some of the large hailstones with spongy growth suggest that a proper generalization of the Bruggeman mixing rule should be used to determine their effective index of refraction at centimeter wavelengths.

Small businesses account for almost all job creation in America, and more entrepreneurs can mean better economic opportunities for everyone. The problem is, women are half as likely as men to start their own businesses, according to new research from the Kauffman Foundation. The study suggests that this is because of the cultural assumption that entrepreneurship is a males-only club.
But women actually make exceptional entrepreneurs. They identify as risk-takers more than men; they can be even more ambitious about becoming serial entrepreneurs. There's also a strong correlation between increasing business returns and increased women in business leadership.
This year, 50 ambitious and confident women CEOs continue to affirm that entrepreneurship is a task for both genders. We've compiled a list of the top 50 fastest-growing female-led companies in America, from IT to architectural services.

Q: How can I do more accurate calculation ln(1+x) in verliog I want to calculate ln(1+x)in verilog A.
I know that the code is

y = ln(1+x);

But if the x value becomes very small(ex x=3.52e-18), the y value becomes zero.
In MATLAB, I can calculate like

y=log1p(x);

and I want to calculate like that code.
How can I calculate more accurately?

A: The only way to add math functions that are not part of the IEEE standard are by using the C interface.
In SystemVerilog, you can add this line and not have to write any C code
import "DPI-C" function real log1p(real arg);

But in Verilog, you would have to call a VPI wrapper function that called log1p from code that you would have to write in C.

A: You can always write a polynomial or rational or table-driven approximation to log1p, or find a library where someone else already implemented it, of course.
But there's a cheap trick to compute log(1 + ) given  in a pinch if you already have a function to compute log()!

*

*If 1 + x = 1—that is, if fl(1 + ) = 1—then just return .

*Otherwise, evaluate x*log(1 + x)/((1 + x) − 1) (with exactly that parenthesization in the denominator).

Why does this work?

*

*For the easy case of || > 1/2, this works because fl(1 + ) only loses at worst a single bit of precision from , so the quotient /(fl(1 + ) − 1) essentially cancels (or exactly cancels, if  ≤ −1/2 or  ≥ 1) leaving essentially only log(fl(1 + )) ≈ log(1 + ).

*For the interesting case of ulp(1)/2 < || ≤ 1/2, this works because our approximation factors into ⋅() where () := log(1 + )/ is very well-conditioned near zero so that we still get a good approximation to () even if we actually evaluate (fl(1 + ) − 1).
So while log(1 + x) alone magnifies the rounding error in 1 + x,
x*log(1 + x)/((1 + x) - 1)
gives a good approximation to log(1 + ), within a handful of ulps (provided your log function has small error).
Details:

*

*The absolute error of fl(1 + ) − 1 from  is at most ulp(1)/2.

*() ≥ 1/2 for all || ≤ 1/2.

*|′()| ≤ 2 for all || ≤ 1/2.

Hence by the mean value theorem there is some  between  and fl(1 + ) − 1 such that
|() − (fl(1 + ) − 1)| = |′()⋅( − [fl(1 + ) − 1])| ≤ 2⋅|1 +  − fl(1 + )| ≤ 2⋅ulp(1)/2 = ulp(1),
so that the relative error of (fl(1 + ) − 1) from () is |() − (fl(1 + ) − 1)|/|()| ≤ 2⋅ulp(1).
And (fl(1 + ) − 1) is what log(1 + x)/((1 + x) - 1) approximates.
(For positive inputs, |′()| ≤ 1/2 so the bound improves to ulp(1)/2.)

*The edge case where 1 + x = 1 happens if and only if || ≤ ulp(1)/2.
When this holds, since log(1 + ) =  + O(²) the error of series truncation (specifically, at most ||/2 ≤ ulp(1)/4, if you look at the exact terms of the series) is no worse than a rounding error.
This case must be treated specially in order to avoid dividing by zero given by (1 + x) - 1.
(This technique appears as Theorem 4 in Goldberg's infamous note on What Every Computer Scientist Should Know about Floating-Point Arithmetic.)

As a photojournalist for my entire adult life, I have covered everything from protests to presidential elections, from the lifestyles of billionaires to the plight of the homeless, from basketball games to Bono. But the photos most precious to me are those of my family, my wife and our two beautiful daughters. Those are the memories I truly treasure, and I know the importance of capturing moments in time, fleeting glimpses saved for posterity. I know the power of photography. That¹s why some of my most gratifying professional memories are sitting with a couple as they examine the photos of their wedding day. Their laughter and sentimental tears let me know I successfully captured the spirit of their special day, a time forever woven into the tapestry of their lives.
My passion for photography took me from my childhood home in Sumner, Washington to the University of Missouri, where I earned a degree in journalism, to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, where I spent 14 years as an award-winning photojournalist. That experience honed my ability to capture life as it happens, not a life that¹s posed and staged. This is your life. These are your memories. Handle them with care.

Q: Scientists observe the laws of the physics but, Where do they come from? Has anyone ever considered how the laws of physics that we study came into being.

A: Actually...
There is a branch of physics that attempts to answer that question. It's called Physical Cosmology. Among many other things, cosmologists want to know why the physical laws are as they are. The trouble is, there just are not that many other universes ready for us to compare. We also don't know what is going on with most of our universe, like with dark matter, and that takes up most of the scientific community's time.

A: Based on what we know, both from science and philosophy, these are both ill-phrased questions. You can get as many answers to them as you like, and they will all be equally meaningless, because none will bare any logical relationship to known facts about the universe we live in.
Now, there are much better question along these lines, which deal with the reason that we can find laws, at all. "How do we know that nature is reproducible?" and "Why do we assume that there is an objective physical reality?" would be some of these. Maybe you want to think about those for a while and rephrase your question?

Dustwallow Marsh (or Dustwallow Swamp) is a vast and ancient swamp in the eastern reaches of Central Kalimdor. Although there is little activity in the area, the Alliance and the Horde have recently expanded their influence in the region. The Alliance city-state of Theramore was located in a small island east off shore, but was eventually destroyed by a mana bomb ordered by the then-Warchief Garrosh Hellscream. The Horde major stronghold in the area is Brackenwall Village, the new home of the ogre Stonemaul clan.
Dustwallow Marsh had long been home only to wild beasts, but all this changed in the Third War, when Jaina Proudmoore led her people here to settle down after the battle with Archimonde at Mount Hyjal. Founding the city-state of Theramore, Jaina's people rapidly extended into the swamp, building fortified scout towers at important points along the road to the Barrens.
The area was home to the centaur and wildkin who raided orc members. Bloodbeak the Berserker destroyed an orc village here.
After Daelin Proudmoore attacked the Echo Isles, Vol'jin relocated his tribe to the marsh. His base served as a base of operations for Rexxar, Rokhan, and Chen Stormstout. The mok'nathal recruited the ogres of Stonemaul clan that lived here into the Horde when he killed their tyrannical leader Kor'gall. Dustwallow Marsh saw a great skirmish between the Horde and Kul Tirans led by Admiral Proudmoore, eventually leading to Daelin's death and the permanent breakup of the tentative peace between the Alliance and the Horde.
Perhaps it is because of extreme terrain conditions that neither the Horde nor the Alliance has succeeded in establishing an extensive presence in the area. Though it is shown that several orc families live here. Located on the rocky tip of the peninsula on the eastern shore, the citadel of Theramore is the home of Jaina Proudmoore and a great bastion of the Alliance. The gleaming walls of this bastion, however, often serve to contain the Alliance, and its presence does not extend far beyond them, despite a number of scattered checkpoints and towers that dot the road leading to the Barrens. Theramore's military has recently been dwindling, partly due to the ever-increasing number of desertions, though why so many people have chosen to forsake their place with the Theramore garrison remains a mystery.
Despite bordering on Horde-controlled territory, tauren and orcish presence in Dustwallow Marsh is equally marginal and is largely confined to Brackenwall Village to the northwest. Founded by the Stonemaul ogres and ruled by the iron fist of their leader, Overlord Mok'Morokk, Brackenwall Village is the only vestige of the Horde in the area. As the Stonemaul ogres do not generally seem to take much interest in the outside world, much of the area between the bastion of Theramore Isle and the Horde settlement remains wild and untamed, with even the road leading to the Barrens rapidly falling into disrepair.
Though neither faction controls a significant portion of Dustwallow Marsh, covert skirmishes between the Alliance and Horde became common, in spite of the official truce that was maintained in the region. There have been reports of Brackenwall Village taking military action against the covert Theramore infiltrators, who have been spotted to the east of the village. Other sources indicate that a number of Horde spies have been murdered or simply disappeared while attempting to infiltrate Theramore. Clandestine activities on both sides continue to this day and are more likely to escalate into a full-fledged covert conflict than cease completely.
In the south of the marsh, the black dragonflight has established a presence. Consequently, these regions of the swamp have come to be known as the Dragonmurk and the Wyrmbog. Until recently, the Stonemaul ogres lived in Stonemaul Village in this region in relative peace. The Mok'Nathal Rexxar assumed leadership of their tribe some time ago and forged an alliance between the Stonemaul and the Horde, although later it seems he stepped down as a leader. Not long after, the Black Dragonspawn attacked the village in a terrible rout and the surviving Stonemaul ogres were forced to retreat to Brackenwall but the ogres have sworn revenge on the usurpers. It is said that this wilderness is also home to Onyxia, a great black dragon and the daughter of Deathwing, and even some adventurers ventured into her lair and lived to tell the tale.
The goblins of the Steamwheedle Cartel created the town of Mudsprocket in the southwest of Duwtwallow Marsh. At the same time, the Grimtotem tribe expanded their influence in the region by settling in the northern reaches founding Blackhoof Village.
Dustwallow Marsh was almost entirely untouched by the Shattering. The only changes of note were a new road from Theramore directly to the Southern Barrens and a new mountain pass from Mudsprocket to Thousand Needles.
The relative quiet didn't last long though. After Deathwing's fall, Theramore was attacked and destroyed by a mana bomb detonated under the orders of Garrosh Hellscream, then-Warchief of the Horde.
Once Garrosh Hellscream was defeated and captured in the Siege of Orgrimmar, King Varian Wrynn stated that he wanted to set up a garrison close to Theramore.
Dustwallow Marsh is a vast and ancient swamp in Central Kalimdor that is home to many old and wonderful beasts. Navigation is often extremely difficult and many adventurers have lost their way in this great jungle, where trees obscure the sunlight and raptors, spiders and crocolisks lie in wait, hunting those brave enough to venture close to their lairs.
A hot, fetid swampland, Dustwallow Marsh is fed by underground springs that keep it eternally wet and muddy. Mosquitoes buzz in the air. Trees dip fronds into the waters. The climate is home to a variety of predators, including crocolisks and murlocs. Black dragons dwell in the southern end of the swamp in such profusion that the area garners the name "Wyrmbog". Dustwallow Marsh abuts the ocean on its east side, and the mixing of the waters makes a wide swath brackish. Off the coast there are some islands like Alcaz Island or a rocky island on which was perched the Alliance stronghold-city of Theramore until it was destroyed by Garrosh Hellscream.
Near the low hills that form the western edge of the Marsh separating it from the Barrens, the Stonemaul ogres have opened their Brackenwall Village to the races of the Horde. Brackenwall serves as an essential foothold for the Horde in the marshlands.

Alcaz Island - This island lies off the coast of the marsh and is patrolled by dangerous monsters (level 57-62 elite). It is inhabited mostly by nagas, though hydras can be found in the water around the island. Under the surface of the island is a heavily guarded prison, where the missing king of Stormwind, Varian Wrynn was kept after his abduction by the Defias.
Southern Barrens 30 - 60 West By foot north or west, or by flight methods.
Thousand Needles 40 - 60 South By foot south up the hills near Mudsprocket, or by flight methods.
Wetlands 20 - 60 East (across the ocean) By boat from Theramore Isle only.
Dustwallow Marsh is home to several characters of note. At Brackenwall Village, Overlord Mok'Morokk seeks aid in the battle against the black dragonflight. In her cottage in the Quagmire, Tabetha recruits the arcanely inclined in an attempt to cleanse the taint that has affected a mystical orb. In his lair, Emberstrife unwittingly helps disguised agents of the Horde in entering his queen's lair, and at Theramore Isle, Lady Jaina Proudmoore sends bold adventurers into the swamp in search of a missing diplomat. Nat Pagle also resides at Nat's Landing, where adventurers from around the world come to hear of his fishing adventures and from where he offers guidance to those who have significantly advanced the patient art.
Adventures aid their respective factions by dealing with spies, investigating the Shady Rest Inn and dealing with the culprits, and striking out against the Black dragonflight.
In patch 2.3.0, the whole zone of Dustwallow Marsh was improved to make it more quest-friendly and a less lonely place to be in.
A new neutral town, Mudsprocket, led by Steamwheedle Cartel goblins. A quest hub with a flight master, an inn and a graveyard.
The area where Tabetha resides is now called Tabetha's Farm and has a pebble road leading to it (was in the middle of the marsh earlier). This area now also has a graveyard.
The Grimtotem tribe has expanded and set up a base in northern Dustwallow by the name of Blackhoof Village and one just north of Tabetha's Farm named Direhorn Post.

Dustwallow Marsh was made a 35 - 40 zone in Cataclysm. With the escalating warfare in the Southern Barrens, a highway was constructed through the marsh from Theramore Isle to the Barrens.
Mudsprocket – Two new quest givers added for the Horde and the Alliance; path leads from Mudsprocket through the Wyrmbog and into the Thousand Needles.
Theramore Isle – A new highway runs from Theramore across Dustwallow Bay and directly west to the Southern Barrens.

— Old Hatreds Dustwallow Marsh loading screen.
In Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne, Dustwallow Marsh was the main map of the Old Hatreds mission of the Founding of Durotar campaign. It is there that the Darkspear tribe trolls resettled after the Echo Isles were attacked by the Kul Tiran navy. Besides the Darkspear village, it featured some orcish and troll outposts, such as Mathogg's village. The zone had a human Coastal Base nearby, close to Theramore Isle and Tidefury Cove. Mulgore could also be accessed through a zeppelin ride, the Stonemaul clan ogres had a village and an arena south, and there was a dimensional gateway to the Outland Arena.
It also had the following dungeons: Tomb of the Ancients, Magistrates Temple, Den of the Lost, and some uninstanced monster areas such as a centaur fort, an hydromancer's island, a Kul Tiran outpost led by Captain Thornby, a kobold gold mine and a bronze dragon's lair.
The unnamed Stonemaul village was its own sub-map. The tribe's ogre magi and priests lived in the upper part of the settlement and maintained their own Magic Shop. The village was also home to a grand ogre arena and a Gauntlet valley filled with powerful monsters, including a large quilboar community led by a giant Razormane Chieftain, jungle stalkers and sasquatch living together, as well as giant thunder lizards and wildkin.
It is to be noted that, while the loading screen identified the main map of Old Hatreds as Dustwallow Marsh, the zeppelin coming back here from Mulgore identified the area as the Barrens while the zeppelin going to the Stonemaul village designated this new area as simply "Dustwallow".

Dustwallow Marsh was once a high plain filled with herd animals that thrived on the tall grasses. Then came the great Sundering, and the plain was smashed down into a sundered valley. The water table bled up into the ruined landscape, creating the great marsh that exists today.
Dustwallow is a temperate to hot watery swamp. Dustwallow Marsh is located southeast of the Barrens and north of Thousand Needles. The swamp curls to the east, forming a bay around the island of Theramore. Dustwallow is a flood plain fed by underground springs and surrounded by the dry savannas of the Barrens. The marsh is eternally wet, muddy, and hot, unfit for proper settlements and a haven for creatures that crave the wetness and humidity. Narrow banks of slippery mud separate endless stagnant pools and algae-choked channels, making Dustwallow a traveler's nightmare. The roads that cross the fen are muddy and treacherous, and the surrounding swamp is even more dangerous to traverse. Those who mistake the thick, wandering bogs of the marsh for solid land may fall through, only to have the floating plants close above and trap them in the brackish water. Dustwallow teems with predators that lurk just beneath the surface of every pool and skulk behind every bush. In the east, the turbid water of the marsh mixes with salt water from the sea. The rocky form of Theramore Isle lies just beyond in the bay.
The marsh is the best way to approach Theramore by land, as jagged rocks outside the bay make sailing directly from the goblin city of Ratchet difficult. The marsh's southern expanse grows rockier as it approaches Thousand Needles. The pools are larger and far deeper, with half-submerged rocky outcrops. Many of these rock clusters have openings that lead into cave systems. The caves are often surprisingly dry and serve as lairs for a variety of beasts. Some conjecture exists whether the caves are interconnected with the underground river that keeps the swamp submerged or if they might even extend out to the sea.
The hundreds of shallow pools that comprise the marsh hold creatures ranging from massive plant eating kodo beasts to ambushing packs of raptors to territorial water-loving murlocs. The saltwater swamp of east Dustwallow is a popular breeding area for the murloc packs. Indeed, the waters teem with aquatic creatures of all sorts. Humans and murlocs drag nets down the channels to harvest gigantic mudfish, but also pull in everything from alligators to eels. Poisonous snakes hang from the trees, and some of the larger specimens are known to drag the unwary up into the branches. Of course, these dangers are nothing compared to those of Dustwallow's southern region. The rocky outcroppings common to this area are ideal lairs for black dragons, and those creatures are so common in the area that it has earned the name "Wyrmbog".
It should also be noted that the zombies and spirits that haunt the areas of Witch Hill and Swamplight Manor do not appear linked to the Scourge or the Lich King but may be the sole work of the demon Zelfrax who is summoned and defeated at the end of the quest chain  Cleansing Witch Hill.
The raid dungeon Onyxia's Lair and the micro dungeon Alcaz Island can be found in this area. No other dungeons or battlegrounds are located here.
In The Frozen Throne, the distinctions between Dustwallow Marsh, the Barrens and Durotar are blurry. Even though the level Old Hatreds is said to take place in Dustwallow, it includes a land path to Orgrimmar (although Rexxar travels to Vol'jin's camp on a zeppelin from Orgrimmar to the Barrens at first). Regional borders and the locations of settlements were evidently changed around with the release of World of Warcraft. As such, many of Dustwallow's locations such as the Darkspear camp and its denizens may have been retconned to be somewhere else. Alternatively, the camp may have been abandoned and or destroyed.

After its premiere at the Athens Festival in 2015 and its participation in the official selection of ISPA's Pitch New Works, this is the European premiere of the documentary theatre performance We are the Persians! by the Station Athens Group, directed by Yolanda Markopoulou at Espoo City Theatre, Finland in the end of March.
Watch the trailer here
We are the Persians! - Six refugees after living in Greece for the past 7 years, get the chance to leave the country, travel and recite their experience in a discourse with the Persians of Aeschylus.
Hussein, Reza, Khalil, Aidim, Reza and Ramzan have arrived to Athens from far away. They are the Persians! Their new station is Athens. How was their journey? What are their everyday battles in a new ground? A documentary theatre performance using as a starting point their personal testimonies and recent events that changed their life, in a discourse with the Persians of Aeschylus. Images maintained in our collective memory come alive in this personal odyssey where 6 stories intertwine.
The Station Athens Group was created through a 7-year theatre workshop. It all started when the group, 6 refugees from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Bangladesh gathered and chose to play theatre and experience art as a way to integrate and get away from everyday hassles. The group couldn't travel outside of Greece as a whole until very recently, because of passport & paper issues. We are all very proud to say that their work in theatre was also a reason that granted them permits and legal papers to be able to travel and work freely.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska – The Alaska Department of Fish and Game released preseason emergency orders managing early-run king salmon in many of the waters of Cook Inlet and the Kenai Peninsula for the 2015 season.
The regulations take effect in April, and include closures, bait and hook restrictions, and bag limits, among others.
A release from the department cites ongoing low king salmon stocks throughout Cook Inlet. The stocks have been experiencing a period of low productivity and below-average strength since 2009. The state expects the trend to continue through the 2015 season.

Why do people wear poppies? How to explain to children the facts about Remembrance Day? Read Emma's blog to find the answers.
At this time of year, we are filled with the joys of different festivals and celebrations. There's Diwali, Halloween, and Bonfire Night all in a matter of weeks, but one of the most significant events is Remembrance Day. This is probably one of the most difficult areas to cover in schools, as it can stir up feelings and issues for children and adults that are emotional and complex. However, it is an important date in our calendar.
Regardless of the age of the children you are working with, sticking to the facts and relating them clearly and with compassion is probably the best approach. Remembrance Sunday takes place on the Sunday closest to Armistice Day, which is always the 11th November. On this day, we think about the men and women that have joined the armed forces to look after the people in this country and other people that needed our help. It is their job to defend and protect people, and we are grateful for what they do now and have done in the past. The focus is not on glorifying war or acts of aggression, and that Remembrance Day is not a day to celebrate; it is a day to show our respect for people in service. Their job is difficult and dangerous. They spend a longtime away from their families, but they are willing to take sacrifices, as they understand the importance of the job that they do.
When approaching Remembrance Day as a topic, always consider your audience – the children. I know that sounds obvious, but I have seen this handled badly in the past. Young children can be easily distressed and confused by the wrong level of information and imagery, and too often I have sat in assemblies which have left children feeling upset and puzzled. However, there are some useful resources out there for upper primary and secondary aged children. The British Legion and the BBC have some great online resources, including videos explaining key concepts, eyewitness testimonies from soldiers of the First World War and news from former service people about the work that British Legion and the supporting charities do now.
Sharing War Poetry can be a bit of a cliché, but it shouldn't be overlooked. Over the past few years, good collections of poetry with a range of voices from different conflicts have been published, as well as letters and postcards. Comparing, for example, jingoistic poems from the start of World War One with the grittier poetry of the latter stages of the war gives a lot of room for discussion. Also, the school community is a great source of letters, photographs and documentary evidence, so do ask parents, grandparents and staff to look out for what they have stored away. For older primary aged children and secondary school children, carefully selected examples can be useful in bringing the past alive, and making what can seem very remote for children much more accessible. Research local links to famous service people, such as war poet Wilfred Owen (who had strong ties to his home area), build that into lessons or assemblies for children and you have a good hook to catch their interest.
Depending on the age of the children, the history and significance of poppies can be brought into the discussion. With young children, I would start with an explanation that there was a terrible war a hundred years ago. In France, the places where the war took place got so muddy and churned up, no-one thought that anything would ever go back to normal again, but soon poppies grew again, which gave people hope that life would be better for everyone. People wore poppies to help them think about their beloved ones who had been hurt, and hoped there would never be another war.
Older children can be told the more detailed story behind Remembrance Day. Soldiers in the trenches during the First World War noticed that poppies grew amongst the devastation caused by battle and a Canadian serviceman called John McCrae wrote a poem called 'In Flander's Fields', which has become a central part of many services of commemoration. The First World War ended officially at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month of 1918, and that, for many, marked the end of the Great War. Three years later, the first Poppy Day took place on 11th November, when people started to wear poppies and raise money to help those affected by war through disability or bereavement.
Poppy wreaths and poppies can be made in the classroom, and special prayers can be written for assemblies.
As the 11th falls on a Saturday this year, the significance of the 11th hour, 11th day, 11th month will need to be covered in an assembly or lesson in the preceding week.

What Does T3 Look for at Tryouts?
While we see many talented players with strong stick skills, the ones who stand out are the ones who demonstrate extra effort and show they have a coach-able attitude towards teamwork and good sportsmanship. Athleticism is a great attribute to have, but it is the girls who are determined to go after every ground ball and are hustling even off ball that grabs the attention of our coaches.
T3 Lacrosse is proud to have helped place over 500 athletes into collegiate lacrosse programs. With the personal support of T3's regional recruiting coordinators, our athletes are advised and guided through the challenging time of finding the right collegiate fit.
Powered by ConnectLax, T3 Elite team players utilize online player profiles and related software to help manage the recruiting process.
T3 Lacrosse is now able to offer Registration Saver, an AIG insurance product that offers you relief from our "No Refund Policy" (see bottom of page *). T3 sets player fees from a budgeted amount per team. We are not able to refund families even in cases of injury or job transfers.
In order to help protect your Elite team fees in the event your player suffers a partial or season ending illness or injury (on or off the field), T3 highly encourages you to purchase Registration Saver insurance. This insurance policy covers your registration investment. The premium cost is 7% of the Elite Team registration fee.
Please note: if you purchase insurance and submit a claim at the time of injury, all Elite team registration fees need to be paid in order to receive a refund as per AIG Insurance policies. If you are on an installment plan, all payments through May, 2018 need to be paid in full. You can still remain on your established T3 payment plan but a claim will not be paid until proof is provided that all Elite team payments have been paid in full.
You may choose to insure your entire Elite team fee or choose a lower total to insure if you prefer, for the corresponding 7% premium (ie $500 of insurance coverage for $35).
Registration Saver insurance WILL NOT cover pre-existing injuries that occurred prior to the purchase of an insurance policy.
Click on "Apply Now" and select the "Season" policy option. Additional application instructions are below. If something should happen to your player before the T3 team start date and you have purchased the policy, you can obtain a refund of your season fees as long as the policy was paid for prior to injury. (Your injury must be diagnosed by a certified physician and you must show proof of paying full registration fee). If something were to happen to your player during the season, you will receive a pro-rated amount, i.e. if you play 25% of the season and need to file a claim due to injury or illness, you would receive a 75% refund.
It is highly recommended that you purchase the 3rd party Registration Saver insurance policy. Please contact T3 Lacrosse if you need information regarding your specific team fees.

Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre
Our mission is to rescue and rehabilitate abused, neglected and abandoned horses, ponies and donkeys, while campaigning for the better treatment of animals across Spain. We are a no-kill foundation and provide each rescued animal with a safe and loving sanctuary – either here at our centre or via rehoming – for the rest of their lives.
Spanish equine sanctuary rescues yet another skeletal pony, confirming disturbing trend
A severely malnourished pony stallion showing signs of physical abuse is now in the care of Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre in Rojales, Spain.
Rescued from the streets of Algorfa in conjunction with Almoradí police on September 21, the pony known as Fudge is the sixth rescued by the sanctuary in five months, confirming an alarming trend of ponies being abandoned in public places.
"When we started the centre nine years ago, we were rescuing animals that had been locked away and left to starve," said Easy Horse Care co-founder Sue Weeding. "Now, they're literally being dumped in the streets."
The influx of ponies is putting the centre under increasing financial pressure as it looks to provide the medical attention and care each abused equine needs.
"They all come to us needing castration and with a whole host of health problems," said Sue. "We pride ourselves on caring for them properly. We don't just give them a bit of food to keep them alive."
The latest rescue, which has gained international attention, was found in a skeletal state, with a massive infection in one eye and showing signs of what could well be deliberate physical abuse. A visible scar on his neck suggests Fudge suffered a significant blow that left two of his vertebrae broken, causing him to walk with a wobbly gait.
Donations to help cover Fudge's rehabilitation costs are gratefully received and can be made online: easyhorsecare.net/donate/one-off-donation.
"This old boy is about 20 years old and it's absolutely heartbreaking to think what he's suffered through," said Sue. "It will be a time game for this fellow and we'll just take it one step at a time. Whatever the outcome, we will give him anything and everything he needs, and a whole lot of love on top."
Miniature ponies like Fudge can live well into their thirties, so once he's had time to grow in strength, Fudge's infected eye will be surgically removed and he'll also be castrated. But in the short time since he arrived at the centre, he's already shown remarkable improvement.
"When we arrived to rescue him, he wouldn't even lift his head," explained Sue. "Now he calls out to us and eats all day. I think he believes he's in paradise now."
Fudge's rescue takes the total number of equines at the sanctuary to 108. While Sue and her husband Rod Weeding continually work to re-home their rescues, they worry that without other options, the number of equines in their care will only continue to grow.
"The situation is dire, because if we don't take them, they'll stay where they are," said Sue. "And how can we, as caring people, say no when there's no one else?"
The Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre relies entirely on donations to fund its important animal welfare work, including the feeding and care of the centre's horses, ponies and donkeys rescued from abuse, neglect and abandonment.
Donations of cash or items for the centre's network of six charity shops across the Alicante province are gratefully welcomed. A pick-up service is available to collect large donated items such as furniture and each shop also offers a delivery service for large items purchased in-store.
The Easy Horse Care Rescue Centre, located just outside Rojales at Partido Lo Garriga, 59, opens to the public on the first Sunday of every month between 1pm and 4pm. Free horse tours run throughout the afternoon and refreshments are available in the café. For more details and directions, please visit www.easyhorsecare.net.

Industry Whitepaper
The 2019 AWRE Industry Whitepaper is an exclusive report, compiled directly with the industry, outlining the concerns and optimism facing the waste, recycling and resource recovery sector.
As a young, energy-rich country with plenty of space, Australia has never prioritised recycling household and industry waste very highly. For many years it was simply easier – and more cost-effective – to export reusable material such as plastics, paper and metals to other countries that had more efficient facilities.
But China's decision in 2018 to close its doors to low-grade waste from countries such as Australia forced the federal government, and others, to rethink how to handle the nation's waste and whether we could do more to divert recoverable material from our ever-expanding landfills and warehouse stockpiles.
In the lead-up to the Australasian Waste & Recycling Expo (AWRE) at Sydney's Darling Harbour in October 2019, Diversified Communications Australia, the organisers of AWRE conducted a wide-ranging survey of stakeholders to identify the key issues (and opportunities) the waste and recycling sector faces.
While the results are not definitive, the survey reveals the sheer diversity of Australia's waste and recycling sector – representing everything from retail to aged care – and an overarching sense of optimism about the future, despite the short-term challenges following the loss of export markets.
Respondents, who came from every state and territory, pinpointed several opportunities for the home-grown industry, especially in the areas of energy generation and smarter recycling practices to prevent so much valuable material ending up in council landfills.
Indeed, 54 per cent of those surveyed said they were confident that new recycling technology, especially in energy generation, would transform the sector over the next one-to-three years.
Asked to nominate the main drivers for bringing about radical changes to Australia's waste and recycling sector, respondents nominated government policy, technology and international trends with some also identifying climate change as a major influence on public policy and community attitudes.
Not surprisingly, there is still widespread concern about China's National Sword policy, which dramatically cut Australia's export of plastics, paper, metal and other waste materials to that market. A majority of respondents said neither federal nor state initiatives had helped their business navigate the challenging new recycling and waste-recovery landscape.
Looking ahead, most of those surveyed said they were only expecting moderate growth in demand for their products or services over the next 12 months. Very few expected substantial growth.
Despite this caution about 40 per cent of businesses and organisations surveyed said they expected to make a significant investment over the next few years in response to shifting waste and recycling demands; the same percentage were uncommitted.
Organisations cited research and development, technology and innovation, and product development as their major investment priorities over the next three years – and they also expect to hire extra staff during the same timeframe.
