We know that losing a pet can be very unsettling and we want to be as helpful as we can in providing you with the resources you need to find your lost pet. We love to hear stories about pets that have found their owners after being lost.
"We picked Lucy up Saturday morning from Suncoast [Humane Society]! Thank you all so very much. The 1st picture- (her eating) was taken as soon as we got home. The 2nd picture was taken 2 days ago.
If you've lost or found an animal, the resources on our Lost and Found page can help you reunite the critter in question with its owner!
Just like people, cats need exercise too! It is recommended that you spend about 20 minutes a day engaging your cat in some form of activity. Some cats are very active by nature while others (older and overweight cats) are a little tougher to engage.
A great way to get your cat up and moving is to play "Catch that Laser" with them. Cats love laser pointers because the small beam of light appears to be a little bug and we all know how much cats love to chase bugs. When you're pointing the laser it is best to keep the light low and always avoid flashing the beam directly into your cat's eyes.
One thing you might want to add to laser time is a cat toy. It is possible that your cat might feel a little over whelmed due to the fact that they weren't able to actually catch the light, so it's best if you find a way to relieve this stress. By giving them a toy they will feel like they accomplished something after all the hard work they just put in.
This is not only a good exercise tool for your cat but it also provides great entertainment for you as well as your cat. So go ahead and get your fur babies moving and remember to have fun with it!

SciFi Book Review: Star Wars: The Force Awakens
January 18, 2016 SciFiChick
Star Wars: The Force Awakens by Alan Dean Foster
More than thirty years ago, Star Wars burst onto the big screen and became a cultural phenomenon. Now the next adventures in this blockbuster saga are poised to captivate old and new fans alike—beginning with the highly anticipated Star Wars: The Force Awakens. And alongside the cinematic debut comes the thrilling novel adaptation by New York Times bestselling science fiction master Alan Dean Foster.
Set years after Return of the Jedi, this stunning new action-packed adventure rockets us back into the world of Princess Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, C-3PO, R2-D2,and Luke Skywalker, while introducing a host of exciting new characters. Darth Vader may have been redeemed and the Emperor vanquished, but peace can be fleeting, and evil does not easily relent. Yet the simple belief in good can still empower ordinary individuals to rise and meet the greatest challenges.
So return to that galaxy far, far away, and prepare yourself for what happens when the Force awakens. . . .
If you've seen the movie, then you know the story here. But if you loved The Force Awakens as much as I did, you'll want to read the novel and experience this fantastic story in a different medium. I was hoping for a bit more behind the characters and maybe some extras – and I wasn't disappointed. Granted there aren't a lot of dialog changes here. Most were noticeable since I've seen the film three times so far.
Foster is a master at movie novelizations. His characters are vivid and true to the film. The pacing transferred well, and good choices were made on what to edit. This book was just as riveting and exciting as the film. And 8 pages of movie stills were a nice addition that all fans will love. I thoroughly enjoyed this novelization of one my favorite new movies.

While Wayne Taylor Racing celebrates another victory in the Rolex 24, and as the fans dry out from a soggy weekend at Daytona, the mood in Sebring is somber.
A dreary Sunday on which churches seem fuller and the half-staff flags mean so much more locally, cars slow down on U.S. 27 as they pass the SunTrust bank branch with the flowers laid near the entrance and the law enforcement vehicles standing watch in the parking lot.
All of us at Sebring International Raceway appreciate all the notes, the emails, phone calls from all over the country, all over the globe, that have come to the track this week in the wake of yet another devastating mass shooting, this time impacting family and friends of five women slaughtered in a bank on Highway 27 just a few miles from the track.
Sebring is a small, close-knit community, and for those who do not know a victim or victims, they know people who know the victims. Some of our employees and their families know the victims well.
The outreach from around the country and the world lets us all know that we mean so much to each other. Race fans always have been a kindred bunch. And Sebring fans seem to me to be even more so.
Like many of you who have reached out to us, we ask what we can do for those so greatly impacted by another young man's senseless act that no logical person can comprehend.
No amount of money, nor flowers, nor decals on cars, nor billboards can erase the pain that the husbands, co-workers, mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, boyfriends, aunts, uncles, cousins, classmates, teammates, church families, colleagues and friends must endure these days, weeks, months and years to come.
With each mass shooting the phrase "thoughts and prayers" seems to be just a little more trivial, and yet, these families and friends need our prayers and support. Not just now, but for years to come.
And the law enforcement personnel and other first responders need our prayers and support, too. And not just those on the scene Wednesday.
Just a few months ago, a Highlands County Deputy was shot and killed in the line of duty, a first in the history of the department.
Saturday, just days after the bank shooting, a deputy took his own life.
Amidst these tragedies, people's lives move on. The scars remain, but people move on. But they should not forget to support those most closely impacted by these tragedies.
The SuperSebring weekend features the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring and the 1000 Miles of Sebring, the next two events on the IMSA WeatherTech and WEC calendars.
All of us in Sebring – employees and volunteers alike – will be working hard these next few weeks to make this historic weekend everything you want it to be, and more.
It is what we do. We mourn. We move on. And if we are truly sincere about our thoughts for the victims, as we move on, we continue to support their families and friends.
Respect the law enforcement officials. They risk their lives to keep all of us safe, and they are here to keep order and ensure your security.
Be kind to one another and respect everyone you meet. If all human beings would live by the Golden Rule, just imagine how much better this world would be.
Offer a kind word to a deputy, police officer, medic, ambulance driver, or firefighter. They choose to put themselves in areas where the bullets still may fly to tend to those who have fallen.
And if you are a praying person, pray for the families and friends, and pray for them for a long time to come.
And remember to love one another, including those who may not vote the same way you do. Or look like you do. Or worship the same way. Or come from a different culture.
The pain in Las Vegas, Tallahassee, Fort Lauderdale, Columbine, Blacksburg, Jacksonville, Charleston, Orlando, Parkland, Baltimore, and regrettably so many more communities … the pain for the families and friends lingers for years.
Please do not forget the myriad victims of these tragedies… not just the dead, but those who must live long after the media coverage ends.

Every year on April 22nd we celebrate Earth Day. What began as a political movement in 1970 where Americans took to the streets all across the country to demonstrate for a healthy, sustainable environment has now turned into the largest secular observance in the world, celebrated by over a billion people in over 192 countries.
2016 marks the 46th anniversary of Earth Day and when the movement for a better, cleaner environment began. Earth Day today is a special day all about enjoying our beautiful planet and how we can take good care of it for future generations to come. To celebrate Earth Day, you can take some small steps to better our planet simply by learning more about the area in which you live and start making some commitments to address any environmental issues.
Take a walk outside and pick up litter.
Start a recycling station in your home or office.
Carpool or use public transportation.
Install energy efficient light bulbs throughout your home.
Create a garden, indoors or outdoors.
Recycle any e-waste: old computers, cell phones, appliances, etc.
Invest in a solar-powered charger for your phone or laptop.
Enjoy the great outdoors- go for a hike, nature walk, bike ride, picnic, etc.
Along with the personal ways you can celebrate Earth Day outlined above, Earth Day in Indianapolis is also celebrated in a pretty big way! Earth Day Indiana hosts a festival with over 100 exhibitors who all promote environmental protection, sustainability and resource conservation.
This year, the Earth Day Indiana Festival will be held on Saturday, April 23rd at Military Park in Indianapolis. It starts all 11 o'clock in the morning and will feature lots of great music, amazing locally raised and produced foods from some of the area's best restaurants and food trucks, and a children's tent with tons of hands-on activities and performances.
You can also take part in the 5K run or one mile walk that day. The 5K run starts at noon from the west side of Military Park along Blackford, with the casual one mile walk starting shortly after.
If you're looking for other ways to celebrate Earth Day in Indianapolis, consider taking a walk in one of our beautiful national parks or visit one of the many nature centers in the area. Most of these places will have specific events and Earth Day activities planned, too.
Earth Day's importance continues today. In addition to enjoying the various events and activities throughout the area, it's also important that we commit to promoting a better environment year-round for future generations.

Sintropia, também designada entropia negativa ou negentropia, é o contrário de entropia (que é a medida do grau de desorganização do sistema), ou seja, mede a organização das partículas do sistema. Um elemento negentrópico é aquele que contribui para o equilíbrio e para o desenvolvimento organizacional. A sintropia é um princípio simétrico e oposto ao de entropia física.

Enquanto a entropia é a medida da desordem ou da imprevisibilidade da informação, a sintropia é a função que representa o grau de ordem e de previsibilidade existente num sistema.

O processo de formação da palavra negentropia é semelhante ao da palavra negócio, que contém a ideia de negação de ócio. Quem tem um negócio é aquele que não quer ficar no ócio.

A teoria da entropia é medir a degradação de energia que ocorre em um sistema de acordo com a segunda lei da termodinâmica e o fato de que em qualquer mudança física nem toda a energia que está no sistema inicial e que constitui o corpo é encontrado no sistema e na constituição do corpo final. De fato, alguma energia é absorvida no trabalho necessário para o processamento, e grande parte desta é dissipada na forma de calor.

Um exemplo de entropia é a iluminação fornecida por lâmpadas incandescentes, em que nem toda a eletricidade (energia) usada é convertida na forma de luz (energia útil), mas uma parte se perde na forma de calor (energia inútil para a iluminação). O princípio da entropia, inicialmente previsto pelo físico alemão Rudolf Clausius, leva à conclusão de que, em última análise, devido ao fato de haver mais geração de energia inútil (na forma de calor) nos trabalhos necessários para os processos físicos de transformação, o universo acabará dissipando toda sua energia na forma de calor.

O princípio da Sintropia (ao qual a entropia está intimamente ligada, dentro de cada sistema do universo, até mesmo os cibernéticos, vivos ou não) faz com que sua existência seja preservada apesar da entropia nesse mesmo sistema. É um processo que opõe-se à perda de energia, e desorganização através de uma injeção de novas energias geradas a partir deste mesmo processo ou de outros, de fora do sistema, e muitas vezes energia inútil nestes.

Um exemplo de sintropia é o metabolismo de organismos vivos em que, para enfrentar o catabolismo que leva ao consumo e destruição do tecido do organismo para viver, exerce o anabolismo, que reconstitui os tecidos através da ingestão de alimentos ou seja, substâncias retiradas do mundo exterior ao organismo/sistema.

Um sistema é cibernético quando processa informações e é capaz de ajustar seu próprio funcionamento automaticamente ao processar as informações (feedbacks) vindas de dentro e de fora do próprio sistema. Alguns exemplos de sistemas cibernéticos são organismos vivos, máquinas automáticas, instituições, etc. A sintropia é um princípio cibernético de organização, de unificação, ao contrário do da entropia, que é o da desorganização, da desintegração. Existe a entropia (perda, desorganização) e a sintropia (ganho, organização) no âmbito da termodinâmica (energia) e da cibernética (informação).

Entropia é a tendência dos sistemas cibernéticos de se desorganizarem, perdendo energia e informação e rumar para a autodestruição. Sintropia é a programação dos sistemas cibernéticos para se organizarem e reorganizarem de modo a manter ou repor energia e informação visando a preservar sua configuração e existência, um programa de auto-preservação.

O princípio da Sintropia primeiro foi afirmada pelo matemático italiano Luigi Fantappiè e depois foi retomada e continuou com contribuições de vários outros especialistas independentes, inclusive Salvatore Arcidiacono, Leonardo Sinisgalli e Albert Szent-Györgyi.

Segundo Ilya Prigogine (Prémio Nobel da Química em 1977), flutuações ao acaso podem dar origem a formas mais complexas, a partir de grandes perturbações em um sistema, as quais podem dar início a mudanças importantes, tornando o sistema altamente frágil (aumento da desorganização – entropia). Pode surgir então uma súbita reorganização para uma forma mais complexa (aumento da ordem – sintropia). As perturbações em um sistema são a chave para o crescimento da ordem. Isso seria uma forma de explicar, por exemplo, o surgimento de vida nos planetas. As configurações da natureza interagem com o ambiente local, consumindo energia dele proveniente e fazendo retornar a ele os subprodutos dessa utilização de energia. Os sistemas aumentam a sua desordem para que possa haver mais organização – as desorganizações do sistemas resultam em maior ordem – maior sintropia.

A sintropia é considerada uma hipótese científica, não ainda uma teoria. Alguns a consideram uma hipótese que já foi descartada, enquanto outros a defendem como necessária para explicar a existência da vida e do próprio Universo.

Uso do conceito de Sintropia na Filosofia e na Religião

Na falta de conceitos científicos que comprovassem racionalmente deste fenômeno, os povos antigos atribuíam um significado místico e sobrenatural a fenômenos aparentemente sintrópicos, muitas vezes com uma qualidade divina e metafísica...

Isto ocorreu com o Princípio Aiki, que aliás foi o termo japonês para explicar a sinergia (maximização de resultados) gerada nos processos sintrópicos que ocorreram dentro de algumas artes marciais ao longo da história.

Normalmente nos períodos de guerra é que novos avanços tecnológicos e científicos ganham fôlego e evoluem a um ritmo espantoso. Pois é justamente nestes ambientes de caos, destruição e batalhas sangrentas que, desafiando todos os prognósticos, surgem as grandes descobertas que catapultam o desenvolvimento humano para novos níveis de conforto, segurança e conhecimento.

Este paradoxo também ocorreu, ocorre e continuará ocorrendo nas artes marciais aprimoradas no contexto militar e esportivo, bem como na natureza, nas relações em contínua evolução dos predadores X presas e dos parasitas X hospedeiros.

O princípio da Sintropia também é usado pela filosofia espiritualista para dizer que o ser humano (corpo + mente) não morre entrópica da deterioração de seu corpo, mas sobrevive à morte como um espírito para o rácio de energia espiritual.

If you are a vegan/ vegetarian/ animal lover, and have been getting on board with the 'no make-up selfie' craze, please take a minute to read this.
I love you, friends, and it upsets me greatly, really, to know so many of you, knowing the below, may think differently. This is not an attack on anyone of you, I just want to share some stuff, that when I found it out myself, I stopped donating to certain cancer charities.
There are noble cancer causes (list below) to which I would still contribute, that are in line with my ethics, and then there are pink KFC buckets type campaigns.
If 82% of people polled say they would not donate to research charities that fund animal experiments, do people really know what the causes they are donating to, do with the money?
We need to maintain our wisdom and our integrity when it comes to which cancer causes or campaigns we are supporting. They are not all equal.
Regarding, finding a cure for cancer: cancer is, I am sorry to break this if you didn't already know, big business. Conventional cancer treatments are manufactured and sold. Someone is profiting from this.
17-minute video on What the Cancer Industry doesn't want YOU to know.
I am not saying this to cause a stir or be controversial, or upset anyone. I have friends and family who have/ have had cancer. I think we may all have, it's such an emotive issue. Until now, I have quietly declined to sponsor my friends in 'Race for Life' campaigns, without being keen to voice my reasons why, and for not wanting to upset anyone.
If you read all this and still wish to donate, good for you! I just felt differently, and so want to make known what I discovered….
Animal research is a key part of Cancer Research UK's work. You can see images of the animal research in the below resource: 2. (Depending on your view of animals, this may be justifiable to you, but then, especially then, please see the images, just so you know what you are justifying).
What if, for example, medicated facial cleansing pads really DID get rid of spots? (Rather than just made skin tingle and the pads look like filthy residue had been effectively removed). Wouldn't we all buy one tub and be done? Isn't that a flawed business model?
Profit and business are the driving forces behind a lot of what we are marketed and 'sold'.
Some of the powers that be in society do not have our best interests at heart. Governments are influenced by big business, these businesses are driven by profit.
We know, there is big profit in keeping us sick, uninformed, segregated and disenfranchised.
The most effective solutions, are unlikely to be the most profitable, so we may all need to dig a little deeper when it comes to such serious issues as this. To help ourselves and our fellow beings with the best that we can offer. Unfortunately, it may not be as simply as going without make-up and posting a snap with no links.
I wasn't aware when I wrote this post, that the no make-up selfie trend was spreading globally, not specifically linked to Cancer Research UK, but for cancer awareness.
For me, it is even more pointless if no charity link is attached, sorry.
If you want to tell your friends about a charity you advocate, post links?
If you want to raise awareness of cancer prevention or cures, post what you know about them and why you believe in them?
If you want to remember a loved-one lost to cancer, post an image of them (with or without make-up) instead, talk about them.
I could go on, there is a business behind everything. The "business of being born" also springs to mind. I had no choice in the end but to enter into that same model when I was pregnant. It is very difficult when in a vulnerable situation, not to do what the doctor's tell you to.

A world made by fragile hands and an adventurous heart.
Welcome to my Open Window!
About the Wanderer
A Fairy Rare Adventure. Chapter 4; The Forgotten Ones
Aiden stood silent, people passed by like an a dream. He was waiting, quietly gripping to the hope that she got his message. He glanced up from his hood to the clock that stood erect form the fountain that he sat on. "3:00. 12 minutes." He spoke sharply like his piercing blue eyes that seemed to darken his other features.
Aiden shoved his pale hands under his clock and closed his eyes. His first mission was only half complete. He had revealed Adelina's true identity to her and now, he had to begin the second stage of the plan. She has to believe me. But she needs to understand, we don't have much time. If she gets tied to this world, there's no chance.
Aiden huffed and turned to look into the clear waters f the wishing fountain. "Foolish mortals, thinking this water will grant them wishes." He muttered with a bitter undertone as time continued to pass until a shadow crossed with his. "Did..I make it..on time?" Aiden almost smirked at her voice and turns to see her.
Her hands on her knees, hair windswept and a fawn nosing her legs. She was wearing a long forest green skirt with a pale yellow top. Upon that, was a brown hassled poncho and black foot done her feet. A purple headband brushed back her red braids and our exposed her two colored eyes. Adeline straightened and looked at him intently. "What did you want with me this time?"
Aiden was a bit taken aback by her demand, but keep his face clean of emotions. "We still have much to discuss, but not in the open. Shall we get something to drink at The Swift Helm?" He gestured towards the tavern to their left. Adelina glanced at it and sighed. "At this moment, I don't care as long as you get me the answer I need." She crossed her arms and walked with him to the doors.
"Hey Adi! What's up?" A solemn girl with a slight smile greeted the two as she laid down a tray of drinks at a table near the door. Adelina let out a sigh with a forced smile as Ae galad hid between her legs. "Just showing this newcomer 'round town Ophelia." Ophelia Souli, a server at the tavern, smiled from under her blonde bangs which hid her eyes. She brushed her hands on her apron and led them to a secluded corner in the tavern.
"I figured you would to stay away from the action." She explained while clutching her tray before glancing at Aiden. "Pray traveller, what is your name? I'm a friend of Adelina's and I could take you around town since Adelina has that exam this evening." Aiden blinked and glanced at his escort. "I was not aware of this, pray what is this said exam?" Adelina bit her lip and began to nervously pet her fawn's head.
Ophelia coughed. "It's the scholars exam. Adelina wishes to be one and this is the annual test for those aspiring to take on the respected profession. If she passes, she will be certified as one and could a traveling scholar or remain here and take residence in the lord's manor. I'm not sure what kind of scholar she wishes to be, but she always wanted to be one." The quiet girl gave him a nod.
"Call me when you ready to order." She called over her shoulder as she returned to her work. Aiden pondered Ophelia's explanation. It wouldn't hurt if Adelina passed, but then we would definitely have to leave. Her scholar skills and her abilities would be proof of who she is and belongs to. But what did she want to know from me? Aiden sighed, clasping his hands together on the table. "What did you want to ask me?"
Adelina, who was glad Ophelia had left, did not look at him right away. She kept her smooth hand on Ae galad's dainty head and her eyes began to wander in the midst of her memories. "What happened last night? Am I going mad?" Now her fierce orbs were fixed upon him, glaring and pleading for answers. Aiden gazed back, unfazed before he spoke again.
"It did happen, but I suppose the Moon dance, remembering who you are, how you came to this world and disbelief all collided inside you and thus you collapsed. You aren't going mad, but I can suppose you are confused." Adelina snorted. "That goes without saying, Aiden." Aiden managed a slight grin. That's the first time you've said my name actually. "So as I returned you to your house, the Moon gave you some of her dust as a reminder of what happened between you two."
Adelina listened with a meek expression, stroking the bottle in her pocket. A reminder? I don't really remember what happened to me last night anyway. Silence had fallen over them, Adelina trying to tie the loose pieces together and Aiden quietly waiting for her other possible questions. "Aiden, if you are a Fay like you say you are, do you know what these are?" Adelina whispered as she pulled out the light beating stone and the envelope and laid them on the table.
Aiden carefully looked at them before picking up the stone. It's light flickered in his hand before suddenly going dim. "Hmmm, seems like it only responds to your touch. May I ask why you haven't opened the envelope?" He asked, noting its seal with wary eyes. Adelina looked down, not ashamed just afraid he would see her fear in her fair face. "I can't read the words on it."
Aiden looked at her with no clear expression before carefully picking up the envelope and looking over. "Some lettering work they did here, whoever wrote this." He said with an undertone of respect. Adelina nodded, she agreed it was indeed beautiful handwriting what ever it was. "Can you read it?"
Aiden held the letter in front of him while stroking his cloak tassels. He then shook his head, handing her the envelope. "Sorry, I can't read it. Must be a higher dialect of our language." Adelina tucked her belongings away her in poncho, wishing he would stop referring to any mystical as 'theirs'. It gets kinda awkward for me now. Again, how can I be a Fay? I get that I was left behind by some strange woman but….
She turned to wave Ophelia over. "Ok, those were my first group of questions. Lets get something to drink." Aiden nodded. "Thank you. What is there to drink here in this realm anyway?" Adelina sighed, still remembering he said he was a fay since their ears were pointed. "I really still don't believe we are fay you know." Aiden gave a curt nod. "I know." But you will believe me after tonight or tomorrow.
Ophelia came over with a notepad and a faint smile. "What would you like?" Adelina cleared her throat and looked at Ophelia with a smile. "Two Mad Punches please. Can mine have a hint of sugar please?" Ophelia nodded as she wrote down their drinks. "Sure. Coming up." Ophelia quickly ran to the back to prepare their orders, leaving them alone again. Aiden raised an eyebrow. "Any other questions?"
Adelina nodded. "I have plenty of them, but I only have time for a few. One, how did you know to come here to find me?" Aidan leaned back, letting out a soft sigh. "Ahh, that is true. Let's say I followed your scent that floated by on the wind?" Adelina gave a shocked look before delivering a swift to his kneecap as her response.
Aidan hissed out air and griped his knee. "I see you don't take to Fay jokes too well." Adelina's answer was a sharp glare. "Fine, I tracked down the woman who left you here in this world and asked her for the directions here. I learned from asking around Newwich that you didn't live in town preset and you only came to the market on certain days. So I waited and then you ran into me." Aiden finished explaining and crossed his arms. Adelina remained silent while rubbing Ae galad's head.
Aiden glanced around the tavern. Most of the occupants were men with a some mingling women. None seemed to care they were there, but he couldn't shake a feeling of discomfort. "Adelina, when is this..scholar's test this evening?" Adelina gave him an inquiring look as Ophelia brought their drinks over and left them. "It's at 7 sharp. Why?"
Aiden nodded, secretly relived it was at early time. "Because we don't have much time. I need you to journey with me to our homeland." Adelina blinked. "As in…leave my home and family.." Aiden smacked the table, a look of annoyance and kindling anger in his deep blue eyes. "This realm isn't your home and your real family is not here!" The entire tavern seems to quiet and stare at the odd, hidden boy and the thoroughly surprised girl in the corner.
Adelina had backed herself against the wall at Aiden's sudden outburst. My home and family are not here? But then where are we going? Does he really expect me to believe him?! Adelina straightened herself and boldly looked at Aiden as the tavern returned to its normal bustle. "Ok, say what you say is true. I am a Fay and I do travel with you, where are we heading?" Aiden sighed, more in relief then anything. At least she's somewhat accepting the idea.
"We would leave Newwich and head to the nearest Mirror Gate which lies East of here. It would take a few days at least to reach it, not to mention there are other fabled creatures out to get you." Adelina blinked as Aiden continued. "If we leave tonight, we might beat them to the Mirror Gate in time to protect you and possible our home. It would also guide these creatures away from your precious orphan home." Aiden finished with a ghost of a smile dancing on the end of his lips.
Adelina bit her lip before sipping her drink along with Aiden. She thought hard on the recent events and contemplated her options. I could refuse, but then I risk the truth of those evil creatures attacking my only home. If I accept, I leave everything I now and travel with a boy I barely know or trust. If I'm honest, the second option seems better cause I still have the chance to return and see my family. My adopted one anyway….
Aiden tried the oddly scented drink slowly, taking his mind off the current matters for a moment. "This is a curious beverage the mortals have made. You often drink this?" "I will go with you." Adelina sipped her drink and looked on to the square out the window beyond Aiden. She swallowed back her fear, but refused to look at Aiden. "Can you explain everything to my family? Martha and I wanted to spend some time together in town before the exam. Since we rarely see each other that is."
Aiden nodded politely. "I can do that. After the exam, meet me at the East Gate of town. There we will start our journey and you may say your goodbyes then." He took other cut of the spicy drink as Adelina merely gazed at hers. "Thank you, I'll see you there." Adelina pulled out 2 coins from her hip purse and abruptly ran out with Ae galad. Aiden watched her leave and sighed. "Just a bit longer. Just a bit-" He hushed himself as he stood up.
Aiden glanced towards the back of the tavern to see someone leave quickly. His piercing blue eyes only caught the person's dress before he dropped his tip on the table. "I don't have time." He pulled up his hood and strode out The Swift Helm without looking back. He gazed up at the blue grey skies before turning west towards Adeline's home. He had much to do before her exam finished.

Two groups of horses walked off Lamloch today. 16 horses walked off towards Kleinmond out one of the western gates. 10 horses left hesitantly on the eastern side towards the bird hide.
The well-known wild horses of Kleinmond [and or]Rooisand Feral Horses] have roamed the Lamloch swamps for many decades. They are heritage horses which belong to no one and yet belong to everyone.
The feral horses of Rooisand will be moved from a fenced-in private property to the adjacent Rooisand Nature Reserve.
Craig Saunders, owner of the Lamloch land in Kleinmond, indicated to Hermanus Times that he will assist in moving feral horses, referred to as the Rooisand group, to Cape Nature's grounds. A petition by the Rooisand Horse Watch to "free the horses" circulated on social media earlier this week, as several horses were on the Lamloch side of the fence when the gate was closed.
Saunders explained to Hermanus Times that his property consists of 450 ha and that the fencing was put up around his property to ensure the safety of the wildlife on his land which includes kudu, springbok and many other species of game. "The six gates around the fencing can't stay open at all times, it can result in the game running off," Saunders explained.
According to Saunders there are currently 21 horses on Lamloch land and seven horses on the other side of the fencing, which belongs to Cape Nature.
On Tuesday 13 November a meeting between Saunders, the Rooisand Horse Watch and Cape Nature took place. The meeting discussed how the horses can be moved to Rooisand. According to Ward Councillor Grant Cohen who chaired the meeting, a committee has been set up to manage the horses and their movement between the two properties.
Saunders says he invested a lot of money into clearing his property of alien vegetation, "therefore the horses prefer to graze on Lamloch land." He says it was never his intention to keep the horses on his property, adding that he believes the horses add value to the area and are free to move in and out of his property as they wish.
A representative of Rooisand Horse Watch said they are very happy with the outcome of various discussions about the fate of the horses.
"We and the Overstrand community are looking forward to seeing the horses back at Rooisand, free and unimpeded.
We are very grateful for the public's passionate support for the horses, and the decision of the landowner. The new management committee is a win for the horses and their future welfare. We look forward to participating with all the stakeholders," said the representative.
Cape Nature spokesperson Loren Pavitt says Cape Nature approved a management plan for the introduction of certain wild animal species to Lamloch Estate. These include species like bontebok, plains zebra, eland, and others. An application for keeping elephants is still under consideration.
Saunders is the owner of three tourism establishments situated in Hartbeespoortdam, Hazyview and Plettenberg Bay respectively and known by the brand Elephant Sanctuary, which offer elephant interactions.
He says that future plans for Lamloch land are still in the pipeline, but he would like to consider tourism opportunities for the property.
Professor Frans van der Merwe, who has studied the approximately two dozen horses for the past four decades, describes the Kleinmond herd as feral as opposed to wild. In other words, they are owned by no one and no one takes care of them. These are not like feral horses such as the Mustangs in the United States or the Brumbies in Australia, which are often seen as a nuisance. According to the professor, the horses roam the area from Rooisand to Kleinmond, seldom venturing out of the vlei. They have a happy existence and have no negative impact on the environment.
'They may, in fact, assist in keeping paths open through dense vegetation, especially through reed beds, which is beneficial to other wildlife,' he says. 'One may argue that the horses now fulfill the beneficial role that large wild herbivores once played in this habitat before being exterminated by early colonists and hunters.' Mostly they die of old age.


Rights defenders are in the most precarious condition now, Sultana Kamal said yesterday.
Whenever they talk about protecting people's rights, they are labelled "anti-state" or "anti-government" elements, she told the inauguration session of a conference.
Titled, "Indigenous Peoples Human Rights Defenders Conference-2018", the conference was organised by Kapaeng Foundation in the capital's Cirdap auditorium.
The rights workers, who cannot be threatened into silence, are often implicated in false cases and even arrested, she said.
If rights defenders are anti-state or anti-government then, logically, the state appears to be anti rights, she added.
Rights defenders should unite and strongly protest the criminalisation of their activities, she said.
The event, supported by the Australian Aid, was attended by some 100 activists representing indigenous communities of the plains and hills.
She also said an environment of fear was created through putting rights defenders in a precarious condition.
Sultana also commented on the findings of New York-based research firm Wealth-X that the number of ultra-wealthy people grew most rapidly in Bangladesh between 2012 and 2017.
It also shows that corruption and looting of people's wealth is continuing in different sectors.
Marginalised people are the worst victims, said Sultana.
Former chairman of National Human Rights Commission Prof Mizanur Rahman, Deputy Head of Mission at Australian High Commission Penny Morton, and General Secretary of Bangladesh Adivasi Forum Sanjeeb Drong also addressed the event.


We all enjoy seeing beautiful rooms, perfectly organized spaces, and impressive DIYs, but sometimes the most inspiring projects are those that are quick and easy!
While I am always working on big projects around our house, Five Minute Friday is dedicated to those little projects that I can accomplish while I'm waiting for dinner to finish cooking or while I'm talking on the phone.
Just like the rest of the blog, the Five Minute Friday topics range from decor to organizing, and from DIY to life with kids. But one thing all of the five minute projects have in common is that they are fun and fast!

The Sharing Economy: How Does Airbnb Work
We dive into the current state of the sharing economy and how Airbnb works to stay in the lead for world wide innovation and sustainable travel.
Millions of guests book Airbnbs when travelling around the world or exploring their countries. Guests search for the accommodation type (apartment, shared room, villa etc.) they need with the number of days they need it. When the first day of travel arrives, guests meet their Host who welcomes them into their home. The booking, transaction, choice of accommodation and requests were all handled by the online platform, Airbnb.
Since the platform's inception back in 2008, the sharing economy has taken the world by storm. First seen on websites like Amazon, Craigslist and eBay during the mid-90s, more companies have built their business models on the principle of shared economy and continue to connect people and experiences.
How does Airbnb fit into the shared economy?
The shared economy principle can become the future of sustainable resources. It helps millions of people around the world earn money from their under-utilised products and resources. Do you have a car that you don't use often? — add it to Turo and earn an extra income per day. Looking to get rid of some old appliances, furniture or clothes? — consider selling it on Craigslist or Gumtree. If you have a vacation home or room in your house that's under-utilised — add it to Airbnb.
Airbnb is a platform that links homeowners and guests all over the world offering unique experiences and accommodation. Book a yurt in Greenland, a cave in Spain, a treehouse in the Australian Everglades, or an apartment in New York. Airbnb doesn't own the properties available for rent on their platform, they simply supply hosts and guests with the tools, guarantees and support they need to manage their homes and book accommodation. The platform has helped create millions of jobs in more than 220 countries where it operates. Cleaning services specialising in Airbnb cleaning, Airbnb management companies, tour operators, hosting services and maintenance services are just some of the many businesses benefiting from Airbnb.
How does Airbnb work for Hosts?
Airbnb connects its Hosts with guests looking for accommodation, whether they're travelling alone for work purposes or want to treat the whole family to a break away from the city. Hosts start their journey by creating a listing. Airbnb will suggest an average daily rate based on the size of your home/apartment/room, the amenities and highlights on offer, and the city or town your listing is located in. From there, Hosts can add photos, list amenities and safety features, verify the listing on a map, add a cleaning fee and descriptions of the home. View the detailed steps to create an Airbnb listing on their website.
Hosts generate an income for every night their Airbnb is booked determined by the daily rate they have set. One of the perks about Airbnb is that the guests also pay a cleaning fee as part of their accommodation rate. Hosts should work out how much it costs them to clean their homes or hire a cleaning company and work that into the rate charged to guests. Guests will see this fee upfront when making a booking so there are no hidden costs for them and Hosts are assured they won't be out of pocket.
Airbnb goes out of its way to create safe, accessible and lasting experiences with its platform. That's why it has Host Protection Insurance as part of its services to Hosts. The insurance covers damages, incidents and injuries rated to an Airbnb stay of up to US$ 1 million ensuring Hosts are confident and comfortable when adding their homes to the platform.
How does Airbnb work for Guests?
Early in 2021, Airbnb announced that it would release 100 platform updates during the year. We're written a blog post about it. One of the highlights is that guests now have more ways of booking and discovering accommodation all over the world. Guests can search different accommodation types — yurts, boathouses, caves, treehouses, igloos, tents and the likes. Users exploring the apps will discover more Hosts as they can now search without having specific dates or locations in mind. This ensures Hosts are promoted while guests stumble upon unforgettable experiences.
Guests looking to book accommodation on Airbnb can search the database of listings, view photos and amenities as well as ratings left by previous guests. Once the guest is ready to book, they simply add their details and pay via the platform. The rate will include access to the listing and the physical address (before paying guests will only see an approximate address), communication with the Host and cleaning once checked out. Should guests have any questions about their booking or want to have a chat with the host before check-in, they can reach the host on the Airbnb platform. Depending on the cancellation policies set up by the host, guests have an option to pay a 50% deposit and the remaining amount one week before arrival and can cancel bookings far in advance to receive 100% of the payment back.
How does Airbnb make money?
How has Airbnb grown into a US$ 100 billion valued business we hear you ask? Airbnb makes money by charging guests and hosts a service fee to use their platform when either booking or hosting accommodation and experiences.
The host service fee
On average, hosts will pay a 3% service fee calculated from the booking subtotal and is deducted from the booking payout the host receives. The host service fee can be calculated using this formula: (rate per night + cleaning fee + additional guest fee) x 0.03 Note that this formula is merely a guide as rates can differ if hosts are in Italy, have very strict cancellation policies or host Airbnb Plus accommodation.
The guest service fee
The majority of Airbnb guests pay under 14.2% of the booking subtotal and is indicated to guests before they book accommodation. The guest service fee, of 14% in this case, can be calculated using this formula: (rate per night + cleaning fee + additional guest fee) x 0.14 The Airbnb Experience host fee Hosts offering experiences through the Airbnb platform are charged a 20% service fee. This is deducted automatically from the hosts' payout. Should an experience be $100, Airbnb will deduct $20 and the Experience host will receive $80. This fee can be waived for certain types of social impact experiences.
The future of the sharing economy
Platforms like Airbnb, Uber, Vrbo, Turo, Rover, Etsy and more are booming in the Gen Z and millennial markets with an increase in popularity with Gen X markets. With more economies turning towards a sustainable future, the sharing economy isn't going away anytime soon. It's increasing with more apps, platforms and technologies launching daily making it easier for people to share instead of buying.
Sharing economy/gig economy/collaborative consumption/platform economy or access economy — whichever term you use to describe the trend, it's estimated to grow from US$14 billion in 2014 to US$335 billion by 2025. New Airbnb hosts who signed up to the platform during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 made more than US$1 billion collectively despite their country's restrictions.
Like it or not, the sharing economy is here to stay and will continue growing as younger generations look for sustainable and alternative ways of living, travelling, learning and experiencing the world.
Hometime is Airbnb's Official Co-Host partner in Australia and New Zealand. We believe small business owners and Airbnb hosts should have access to the tools and services needed to grow their Airbnb businesses.

Louis-Charles Gillet de La Jaqueminière (, Saint-Julien-du-Sault - , Paris), est un homme politique français.

Biographie
Il occupait en 1777 les fonctions de directeur des postes. Il devint en 1787 procureur-syndic de Joigny à l'assemblée provinciale de l'Ile-de-France, et fut, le , élu député du tiers aux États généraux pour le bailliage de Montargis.

Il prit plusieurs fois la parole dans l'Assemblée constituante, dont il fut secrétaire, fit une motion sur le paiement des impôts, parla sur le décret relatif à la conservation des forêts, donna lecture d'un rapport touchant les droits de minage, péage, etc. Il présenta encore diverses observations relatives à la suppression du privilège de la Compagnie des Indes, aux affaires des postes et des messageries, à l'exercice des droits de citoyen actif par les fonctionnaires publics, etc.

"Improving Science Communication in Wellington: An analysis of public k" by Alejandro Soler Gayoso, Alexander Asinas Michelson et al.
The goal of our project was to assess public perceptions of sea level rise in Wellington in order to provide recommendations to our sponsor, the Antarctic Research Center of Victoria University, for developing outreach initiatives to communicate their research to the public. Using convenience surveys administered to the pubic and expert interviews administered to science communication experts and local public officials, we found three areas to target for future outreach and five practices to communicate them effectively. Our recommendations for potential outreach strategies ranged from computer simulations to art installations.

This article will concentrate on the highlights and accomplishments of some famous fat individuals. I am not attempting to make enjoyable of anyone right here on this lens. I just thought it might be fascinating to check out those that have accomplished great things and are heavy or chubby. The folks listed right here haven't let their weight be a problem in being successful. Let's take a look and a few people I found which might be certainly well-known fats people.
Scandal broke in 2001-02. A university instructor accused the college of having systemic educational fraud in its football program, including plagiarized papers on bobsledding gamers were turning in and un-enrolled students displaying up to take notes for soccer gamers, who usually slept via class. A graduate assistant also spoke out concerning the plagiarism problem.
Meet KIM Waaaaaade on the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you an opportunity to win a deed to a crack home on Ridgeway Street stuffed within the Howard Industries pinata. Don't fear if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all unlawful immigrants, obtainable as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will likely be accessible in case Entergy literally takes every little thing you have got as a part of its Trollfest ticket worth adjustment charge.
LSU caught Clemson adjusting with a fast snap and pitch to Hill operating to the short side of the sphere. He sidestepped LB Spencer Shuey, who came through and had a transparent shot in the backfield. Then he sliced forward between blocks by Vadal Alexander, who shoved DE Malliciah Goodman to the skin, and Trai Turner, who sealed LB Jonathan Willard inside. Hill used his left arm to push off Turner's back and minimize upfield.
Emmert even met on LSU's behalf with the NCAA, which accepted LSU's findings. But after Emmert determined to depart LSU in 2004, a witness testified in a deposition that the trainer was telling the reality and that the issues have been much more systemic than the school admitted, even extending to grades being modified for football gamers, in accordance with courtroom information.

Local Pallister demanding freeze on cottage fee hikes
Pallister demanding freeze on cottage fee hikes

Opposition Leader Brian Pallister today called on the NDP government to freeze fee hikes for cottages in provincial parks for up to two years.
Pallister said this would give the government the appropriate amount of time to account for how the revenue from the 2013 fee increases is being spent.
Pallister said the government is required to provide such an accounting Under the Provincial Parks Act.
Tom Thomson / winnipeg free press files A weekend at the cottage could run as high as $1,000.
"This hasn't been done for the majority of the NDP's rule and cottage owners deserve a clear accounting of what they should be paying and what has been done," Pallister said, describing the increases as another form of government taxation.
Without that detail, he said cottagers will not have confidence that the increase in service fees and Crown-land rent is fair, he said.
He added he was not against the fee increases, but argued they must be implemented fairly.
"I think most cottage owners expect the fees to being going up, but the reality though is the government has just arbitrarily imposed fees hikes without any kind of statistical support to make their case," he said.
The government has said the average service fee increase for cottagers in provincial parks last year was $247, and that the increases were introduced to bring what cottagers pay in provincial parks in line to those who pay municipal property taxes outside parks.
Provincial park cottage fees has been frozen for about a decade, a situation the government said saw those cottagers subsidized by taxpayers for road maintenance and wastewater treatment.
The higher service fees do not cover costs for RCMP, conservation officers and forest fire fighting.
Conservation and Water Stewardship Minister Gord Mackintosh said the government has already done that accounting in bringing in the new fees.
He said that information has already been made public and was required by law when the increases were introduced.
"The point has to be made that if there is a two-year freeze that costs taxpayers $3.3 million," Mackintosh said. "They (the Tories) are factually wrong."
The debate over the increases began more than a year ago when many park cottagers got their invoices in the mail outlining what they owe. There are about 6,200 cottages in Manitoba's provincial parks.
Many cottagers have complained that the increases are unfair and held a protest rally at the legislative building.
They also say the government has been too slow to explain where the money is going.
Mackintosh said the the park-fee and land-rent increase is being cushioned by a 10-year phase-in and has a cap of $3,000, a bargain when compared to what's happening to cottagers in Ontario. The cap will be maintained for the 2016-17 bill.
Mackintosh said the province is still on track to begin in 2018-19 a new property value assessment model for cottagers inside provincial park districts.
