Can anyone please tell me about traveling by bus from Nelspruit to Maputo and back? Or about traveling by air from Johannesburg to Maputo? I know about schedules and fares for both bus lines and airlines (this info is available online), however, I would be interested in hearing from someone who has actually made this trip, if the bus or plane was on time, if the luggage was secure, or what the airport/bus station was like in Maputo. I would also be interested in hearing about transit from Maputo to Inhaca Island. Thanks much.
Maputo, Mozambique

I flew Joburg - Maputo last year without incident on SAA, then Maputo - Vilanculos on LAM also without incident. These are smaller African airports with their own idiosyncracies, but they were efficient and safe (and on time in all cases). Compared to the headaches in London and US airports, these airports are a joy, if a bit chaotic to outsiders.
Wherever you're staying in Maputo should be able to organize transport for you to/from the airport, and if not there is a taxi rank there. The taxis tend to be run-down metered sedan taxis, but they work. I have heard scary things about the Maputo city buses, but haven't tried them myself. Inter-city buses as supposedly much better.
Getting to Inhaca from Maputo is simple and there are many operators who will take you. Working through your accommodation is again the simplest way to go.
Where are you planning to stay? I've stayed at Fatima's, which was a tired and dingy place. The Base was much better located and had a better vibe. There are some swank high-end hotels too, but from the sounds of it, you aren't on a high-end itinerary...
Enjoy Maputo -- it's a pleasure to walk during the day to get the Afro-Latin feeling. Completely un-touristy and friendly, if a bit run down.
Enjoy it!

Thank you, Kurt, for the response. Your experiences are extremely reassuring, as I have read other accounts of baggage handlers at the airport pilfering small bags. Don't know where we will be staying. My husband wants to stay at the Polana. I vote for the Cardosa. We only have 5 days for Mozambique. (We will mainly be in South Africa: Kruger, Eastern and Western Capes.) Yet my husband wants to see Maputo--if only for a day--and then scuba dive somewhere in Mozambique. The Bazaruto/Vilanculos area sounds like an incredible place to dive, but flying to Vilanculos seems extravagant for just a couple of days, so Inhaca seemed the best choice. I tried to convince him that we should instead go to Durban, where he could surf, and then to Sodwana Bay, where we could both dive, but I wasn't successful. So to Mozambique we go! It is distressing about the floods, though, so many people displaced.
Thanks again for your response. -

I looked over your post and suspect that you might be able to accommodate your travel plans by rethinking the flight plan.
If I read you correctly you are looking at:
1) Mozambique, for the diving and to see Maputo.
2) Kruger.
3) Western - Eastern Cape.
I would motivate as follows.
Arrive Port Elzabeth, travel up to Cape Town.
Obviously you'll stay where you please, but that is the routing. To minimise cost I'd suggest hiring an inexpensive car and carry a mobile phone. If you were to work with an operator the phone could be provided FOC, while you'd pay for outgoing calls.
Another thought: If you have an unlocked phone pick up a SIM card in PE and pay as you go. SIM is about $1.50.
From CTN head up to MQP, for your kruger experience then head out early & hop on a Pelican Air flight to Vilanculos, connect to Indigo Bay and dive your hearts out.
Flight from Indigo to Vilanculos, then down to Maputo with LAM. Spend your afternoon shopping the market, evening hitting the street side cafes.
Next morning head for JNB & home.
What you need to plan around is the flights out of MQP to Vilanculos as these only travel on Tuesdays and THursdays, I gather that the return leg has been discontinued with all Pelican Air flights out of Vilanculos going directly to JNB.
Happy to help further, hust shout. -

I second mkhonzo's itinerary thoughts. That's exactly how to do it if you can swing the timing of the flights.
And I vote for the Polana, if that's your budget. Old-school colonial era 5-star with perfect service in a location to die for. Walk, shop and dine in the Polana District. It's a fun, fantasy escape for a day or two -- just don't mistake it for 'ordinary' Maputo!
You will likely never, ever, ever have better diving in your life than in Moz, so if that's your thing, don't skimp! (Inhaca can be crowded at times.)

Thanks so much again for your responses. I will share your suggestions with my husband. The waters of Vilanculos sound irresistible! (Though I have read that the currents are quite strong, which is fine for my husband but dreadful for me--I might have to stick to snorkeling.)

Bicycling the Best of Provence
Itinerary Summary
Explore the best Provence has to offer. Culinary highlights include a splendid Mediterranean feast of Côtes-de-Rhône wines, exquisite olive oil from a local olive press and more Roman ruins than you will find even in Italy. France's small country roads will lead through the secrets behind the local artisans savoir-faire.

Day 2: Bicycle to St Rémy
Highlights: Market in Arles, charming St Rémy
This morning Arles puts on one of the largest outdoor markets in France. You'll have plenty of time to check it all out before taking a short but scenic ride to St Rémy. This afternoon you can start visiting St Rémy or take an optional loop ride that goes through quaint medieval Provençal towns including Maillane, home to writer Frédéric Mistral, a proponent of Provençal culture and winner of the 1904 Nobel Prize for Literature.

Bicycling on the quiet lanes through the olive groves and vineyards and then when we bicycled in the areas where we came around a bend to see a beautiful castle a top a hill.

What was your favorite experience on this trip? There were many memorable moments and experiences - pehaps my birthday picnic beside the river looking up at the Pont du Gard - and then cycling across it - was a favourite. I also enjoyed the many interactions with French folks along the way who were good humoured and patient with my fractured French.
Diane C., Gabriola, BC, Canada -
What was your favorite experience on this trip? The hilltop towns of the Luberon and the variety the routes provided day to day. At times it felt as if we were riding in a totally different country from day to day.

Quoting Pammi86:
Me too. I went to the Oktoberfest here in my city, but they lied. There was absolutely no German cuisine. There was an awesome band that came from a military post 70+ miles away and beer delivered by a local distrubtor, but that's the only German I saw was the beer. Needless to say, it was a major disappointment.

Elevated plasma citrulline and arginine due to consumption of Citrullus vulgaris (watermelon)

Get AccessSummary
A 19-month-old girl with developmental delay was found to have moderately elevated plasma citrulline and mildly elevated plasma arginine concentrations. Dietary history revealed that she consumed large quantities of watermelon (Citrullus vulgaris), a fruit containing high free citrulline and arginine concentrations. In order to determine whether the patient's high watermelon intake could account for her elevated plasma citrulline and arginine concentrations, we studied the response of plasma citrulline and arginine to ingestion of watermelon in six healthy adult volunteers. All developed markedly elevated plasma citrulline (mean maximum 593 μmol/L, range 386–1069) and moderately elevated plasma arginine (mean maximum 199 μmol/L, range 128–251). Physicians and laboratory personnel performing metabolic investigations should be aware of watermelon-induced citrullinaemia. Its hallmarks are elevated plasma citrulline, and to a lesser extent arginine, in the absence of orotic or arginosuccinic aciduria or hyperammonaemia. This phenomenon has implications for the management of patients with urea cycle and related disorders.

Big Effort Gets Airport One Million Dollars

Personal responsibility is the act of accepting the choices you have made in life, what you believe or think, and knowing you cannot blame other for the choices you have made. Accepting personal responsibility is sometimes the hardest thing we can during our short time on this planet. Everyone looks to put the blame on others or the situation when things go wrong. Then again, they are more than willing to accept the accolades when something goes positive for them. In life, you have to understand that you are ultimately responsible for your actions and decisions. There isn't a puppeteer out there controlling your every move, and there isn't a little boy sitting in his room playing out your every move like it was a video game. A wise man named Sir Isaac Newton once said, "For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." The 3rd law was thought up by Newton for the purpose of its practical uses in physics. However, this same famous quote can be used in life for every day decisions and behavior. If you make Decision A, it will likely lead to path and Result B. The moment you choose to accept responsibility for your own actions is the moment you can start moving forward in life. You have to let go of anger, fear, blame, mistrust and insecurity. Learn to take risks and to become vulnerable to change and growth in your life. Realize you are the party in charge of the direction your life takes. Personal responsibility is vital to maintaining a proper balance with school work and time off. The individual must realize it is their sole responsibility to ensure they take the proper time to study and prepare for exams. If you are out partying and carrying on with friends and not hitting the books like you should be. There is not one else to blame but yourself. Success in college is a lot different than success in high school. You are most likely no longer living with mom and dad, and are on your own. With that being said, there isn't someone to come and make sure your up and ready for class. There won't be someone checking in on your studying or school work to make sure your getting it done. You are all alone and therefore responsible for what happens with your education. In every successful venture in life there should always be a solid plan behind it. Since there is no one to help you but yourself, make sure you implement a good structured idea of how you will take advantage of the opportunity afforded you. Remember that not ev ... |

Nice campground, and we like it for a weekend trip, due to it being located within an hour of our house. I can remember my folks camping here many times. Nice little fishing lake, but they no longer have a bait shop, so plan accordingly. Sites are in nice shape, and the showers/restrooms are well kept and were clean and attended to. Paved roads in good shape, and gravel sights are the norm. All in all, a nice, quiet place for a relaxing weekend. We camped at Beaver Dam State Park in a Travel Trailer.

Nice campground. Great restaurant for any meal we didn't want to cook. Fishing boat rental was nice. Would go back. We camped at Beaver Dam State Park in a Campground Cabin.
Date of Stay: June, 2011 - $20.00
Very nice small state park half way between St Louis and Springfield close to the Route 66 right of way. We planned a one day stay and ended up there three nights. Friendly hosts, kid friendly, nice hiking trails, with 1.7 mile hike around the lake. Restaurant is nice, try their home made pies. Plenty to do 7 miles to the north in Carlinville. We camped at Beaver Dam State Park in a Motorhome.

Very nice park, even had a restaurant on the grounds. Excellent fishing access. Will return as often as possible to this park! We camped at Beaver Dam State Park in a Travel Trailer.

Date of Stay: August, 2008 - $20.00
We only live about 25 minutes from this park and love to go there on a whim. It fills up quickly on weekends in the summer and has great walking trails around the lake and through the woods. We enjoy riding bikes and walking the dogs. The lake is pretty. Very clean and nice campground. We camped at Beaver Dam State Park in a Travel Trailer.
Date of Stay: August, 2008 - $20.00
Nice state park with beautiful lake and good restaurant. A limited number of sites for bigger rigs and a limited number of 50 amp sites. Sites are well shaded with helpful host and workers. Entrance roads are paved and in good shape. Campground roads are narrow and tree lined. Because of this, you should drive you towed vehicle through the campground before you drive your rig in as there are some places you may not want to drive a larger motorhome. If more sites had 50 amp I'd have given the park a higher rating. We camped at Beaver Dam State Park in a Motorhome.

In the playfully diminutive form of a vintage tabletop radio, the Pawn Shop Special Greta model is quite possibly the most unusual Fender tube amp ever. In fact, nobody would blame you if you saw a Greta and, not yet realizing its true identity, tried to tune in the local weather on it. But an amp is exactly what it isa two-watt tabletop beauty with a 4 Special Design speaker, old-school VU meter with clean to overload indicator display and simple volume and tone controls. Its charmingly vintage-style enclosure has front and rear wood panels finished in bright red, gold-finished metal top and sides for increased shielding, Greta script badge on the front panel and tabletop feet. Under the hood and on the back panel, the Greta features a single 12AT7 output tube and 12AX7 preamp tube, with a 1/4 instrument jack and 1/4 line out jack (for preamp use with another amplifier). Greta produces a variety of low-volume clean and overdriven guitar tones, but even if you never plug a guitar into it, the 1/8 back-panel auxiliary input is perfect for iPod or other media player use, with great mono tube playback sound thatll have you rocking right there at your desk.

"Just as it seems more plausible to suppose that Moses existed than to believe that he did not, so, too, it is hard to believe that all the mass of religious institutions ascribed to Moses was really the work of other men, the anonymous product, that is to say, of natural, gradual growth over a period of centuries. After all, Zoroaster, Gautama Buddha and Jesus were historical figures, despite the legends attached to their names. And the Mosaic religion contained astonishing novelities, which look as though they reflect the thought of one single, decisive individual.

Penal Substitution vs. Christus Victor

5) "Phariseeism"
Just as it is unfair and inaccurate to portray all Christians as "hypocritical and legalistic"
as Hollywood often has, it is equally wrong to portray all Pharisees in this way. Rather we
should hold the mirror up to our own lives and be aware of the dangers of legalism there. It is easy
to find someone to point a finger at - blame the Pharisees, blame the Fundamentalists, blame it on the catholic church, but we need to
instead look at how these patterns of judmentalism and lovelessness, how this "yeast", is operating in our own
lives and break out of that game.

(MacMillan Publishing Company, 1969).
Now out of print, this is the classic book that defined the term "Christus Victor".
If you can find a copy, buy it
(Fortress Pr, 1992).
I cannot recommend Wink's book highly enough. It is absolutely brilliant.
He really opens up the depths of the New Testament writer's insights and worldview into
the nature of evil and the hope of the Gospel.
A good part of part 3 of this paper I owe to Wink's insights on the Powers.
Part 2: Legalism vs. Relationship
Want to be told you are going to hell by a comic book?
Then this is just the thing for you. You can see all of the infamous "chick tracks" here.
Don't say I didn't warn you though. :P
(Baker Book House, 1985).
Bilezikian bases his argument for biblical gender equality on a very sound
contextual approach to interpreting Scripture, rather than the "plain meaning"
approach common among many Christians, which inevitably results in the reader
unconsciously projecting their our own worldview and understanding onto
the text. For those who hold
a high view of Scripture, but wish to avoid the pitfalls of literalism it is a
great resource to understanding the Bible as a whole.
It is easy to scapegoat the Pharisees as the "hypocritical bad guys" of the Gospels. But
the Pharisees have much in common with Orthodox Evangelical Christianity: They believed in
the resurrection of the good, the immortality of the soul, and eternal punishment. They
focused on an internal reform within Judaism based on the Bible and oral traditions, very
much like our focus on the Bible and orthodoxy. They emphasized a pure moral lifestyle,
very much like our focus on personal morality and piety. Jesus never criticized their beliefs,
just their practice
(Mt 23:1-4),
because in their effort to live a righteous and biblical
faith - just as with us - there was a tendency to become legalistic, self-righteous, and
judgmental which kept people away from grace. When Jesus said "your righteousness must exceed
that of the Pharisees"
(Mt 5:20)
he meant that we should never focus so much on being orthodox and moral
that we loose sight of the heart of the matter - love, compassion, caring for people, justice
(Mt 23:22-23).
We should obey the letter and the spirit of the law.
(Navpress, 1998).
This is a modern paraphrase on the New Testament that captures the "feel" of the original language.
If you have a hard time understanding Paul's epistles then this is the ultimate book. He makes the whole thing come alive taking away the baggage of religious jargon and getting to the core message.
What's more, since it is so easy to read, rather that struggling through a few chapters, it is easy to read an entire book of the Bible
without even noticing, thus helping to see the entire context.
8) Gustaf Aulen, ibid.
9) New Birth
This concept of the New Birth - learning to enter into and open our lives to trusting God in
an intimate relationship - is a huge topic that goes beyond the
scope of the paper.
One possible additional resource is an article on this website
Intimacy with God.

Sharkie's Gone Back To The Vet
Hi All,
Sharkie finally got all the metalwork out of his leg last week after a dog bit him and appeared to be doing well. However I noticed over the last few days that the top of the femur (the bone which was broken) is protruding out of his leg more than I would have expected. Also when he goes down the stairs he tends to drag that leg behind him and can only jump, well hop up onto furniture which is quite low to the ground. So I took him back to the vet today to be examined by the ortho surgeon who did his op. He said he can't say for definate but it looks like he could have dislocated his hip or the top of the femur has come away from the rest of the bone. Either way doesn't sound good news for him. He can't x-ray him until tomorrow as Sharkie had already eaten. Has anybody had any experience of either of these situations? If so please could you offer me some advice, I'm really worried about my little boy. He's only 6 months old Thanks x |

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
I've spent hours (more than I'd care to count) trying to figure out what the original font is - I can't even begin to tell you how many fonts I've viewed, looking for something close (oh, yes I can - I have looked at 5856 fonts, PLUS several on-line resources!)
Now I'm compelled, to preserve my own sanity, to ask (make that BEG) for some guidance, assistance, help or even a "you're in deep doo-doo" message...
Anyone ever seen this?
Thanks in advance!

CHENNAI: Just as it is necessary for the spiritual aspirant to keep alive his thirst for knowing the ultimate purpose of life, it is equally important for him to receive instruction from a preceptor who is knowledgeable, clear in his ideas and is able to explain the esoteric and abstract ideas in tangible terms. The uniqueness of the Bhagavad Gita and the Uttara Gita is that they contain the wisdom of the scriptures that is propounded, elucidated and clarified by the very source and authority of the highest knowledge, the Supreme Being Himself, said Sri K. Srinivasan in a lecture.
The vastness and depth of knowledge present in the countless Sastras presents a challenge, since a chance to go through them during one's brief life span does not ensure understanding. Therefore the intelligent should try to grasp the essence, the real meaning, just as a swan is able to separate milk from a mixture of milk and water.
Knowledge of the Absolute lies beyond the reach of argument and logic, and is to be intuitively grasped since this comprises a sublime, magnificent entity, being both the unknowable and the unknown.
The enlightened soul perceives the omnipresent, omnipotent and omniscient Brahmam in his inward vision and is able to see the manifestation in all created beings including his inner self.
The different forms, names, colours and tendencies that characterise the various aspects of creation do not confuse him. He is neither elated nor sad, and is not attracted by the external world. There is no doubt nor imperfection, no fear of temptation and only compassion towards all created beings.
The Jivatma has a choice to either identify or distance itself from the sense of "I" and "mine".
Only when the dichotomy between the indestructible Self and the impermanent identities like the body, mind and the senses is recognised, can the individual choose to distance himself from the latter or any object of experience and identify with the immortal soul. This leads the soul out from the cycle of births.
Only when one is able to detach one's immortal Self from the perishable embodied form can one cultivate the sense of discrimantion (Viveka) that leads to dispassion (Vairagya).

Marlins 8, Mets 4(10)
Half the innings, twice the fun.
As far as the Miami Marlins are concerned, the headline can be ''Extra! Extra! Read all about it.'' A day after beating the New York Mets in 20 innings, they needed only 10.
Derek Dietrich hit a tying home run in the eighth and second baseman Daniel Murphy's 10th-inning error allowed Logan Morrison to score the go-ahead run in his first game in 11 months, boosting the Marlins to an 8-4 victory and a two-game sweep.
''I'd rather win in nine, but I guess anything less than 20 is good,'' Miami manager Mike Redmond said.
Morrison singled off Bobby Parnell (4-3) leading off the 10th and went to second on Justin Ruggiano's single. Adeiny Hechavarria, whose 20th-inning single was the difference Saturday, failed in two bunt attempts, then hit a potential-double play grounder to Murphy.
Preparing for a quick throw to second, Murphy allowed the ball to skip off his glove and into right field.
''I missed it,'' Murphy said. ''Tough for me to speak about the whole team. I can speak for myself: Frustrated.''
Recovered from right knee surgery, Morrison played his first big league game since July 28.
''Got goose bumps during the national anthem. Felt like my first day in the big leagues again,'' he said.
Morrison also contributed in the eighth, when he was running from second to third and got hit on the right ankle by Hechavarria's grounder, preventing a potential double play. Hechavarria was awarded a single, and Morrison was out.
''Dumbest smart guy in the world,'' Morrison said.
Greg Dobbs widened the 10th-inning lead with sacrifice fly off Rob Carson, and Miguel Olivo followed with a two-run homer.
No need to repeat Saturday's 6-hour, 25-minute marathon, won by the Marlins 2-1. This one lasted ''just'' 3:35 and there were 333 pitches, bringing the two-game total to 894.
The last-place Marlins had a season-high 17 hits to six for the Mets. They rallied from a 4-1 deficit and improved their record against New York this year to 8-3. Miami is 10-41 against other teams.
''I can tell we like playing the Mets,'' said Dietrich, whose five home runs this year have all either tied the score or put the Marlins ahead.
It was the first time in 24 years that teams played a game of 20 innings or more, then went extras again the next day, according to STATS. The Houston Astros beat the Dodgers 5-4 in 22 innings at the Astrodome on June 3, 1989, a game that ended with Fernando Valenzuela playing first base for Los Angeles, then won 7-6 in 13 innings the following day.
And it was the first time since the Angels beat Seattle on April 13-14, 1982, that a team won consecutive games that went exactly 20 innings and then 10.
Chad Qualls (1-0) got his first win since July 13 last year, striking out Justin Turner and Anthony Recker with the potential winning run on base in the ninth.
After the game, New York demoted first baseman Ike Davis, Carson and outfielder Mike Baxter to Triple-A Las Vegas. The team will call up infielder Josh Satin, outfielder Collin Cowgill and left-handed reliever Josh Edgin before Tuesday night's series opener against St. Louis.
''It's tough to sit through 30 innings and score not even a handful of runs,'' general manager Sandy Alderson said. ''So it's been frustrating for everybody. I'm sure it was frustrating for our fans, too.''
Jonathon Niese, pitching for the first time since May 27 after skipping a turn due to a sore left shoulder, allowed three runs - two earned - and eight hits in 6 2-3 innings. Dietrich tied the score 4-all when he homered off Scott Rice leading off the eighth.
Tom Koehler remained winless in seven career starts and 20 appearances, giving up four runs and six hits in seven innings for Miami. The 26-year-old right-hander was born in the Bronx and went to nearby New Rochelle High School and then Stony Brook University.
He was 0 for 10 at the plate before singling down the left-field line in the seventh for his first big league hit. He had about 100 family members and friends at Citi Field.
''All of a sudden, you look up and you could see them cheering you on when you're walking off the field or walking out there to stretch,'' Koehler said.
He leaked runs early but didn't break.
Hechavarria put Miami ahead with a run-scoring single in the second, but Murphy homered leading off the bottom half and David Wright hit a two-run double in the third, which also included Murphy's RBI grounder.
Marcell Ozuna had an RBI double off the center-field wall with two on in the sixth, and another run scored when Juan Lagares dropped the ball while transferring it from his glove to his throwing hand for an error.
While the Marlins have the worst record in the majors, they're champions against the Mets.
''We don't have a lot of wins, but we've earned every single one of them,'' Redmond said. ''Hopefully we can build off this momentum.''
NOTES: Koehler has two walks in 84 at-bats against right-handed hitters. ... Miami was without OF Chris Coughlan, put on the disabled list with nerve irritation in his right calf. RF Giancarlo Stanton, who hasn't played since April 29 because of a strained right hamstring, could be activated Monday. ... Marlins 1B Casey Kotchman missed the game because of a tight oblique muscle. ... RHP Ricky Nolasco starts Miami's series opener against Milwaukee on Monday. RHP Kevin Slowey will be pushed back to Wednesday following his seven-inning relief effort Saturday, and RHP Jacob Turner will start Tuesday.

After several attempts at making art in more established media (installation, conceptual, site-specific, and video) proved unsatisfactory, the notion of establishing an institutional lens as a perspectival art medium resolved itself in my mind. Forming, growing, and evolving the Center for Land Use Interpretation, the entity that arose as a result, has been my work since 1994. Now a "real" institution, with a (small) staff, offices, and projects that have been completed with museums and other cultural venues across the United States and Europe, the Center continues to operate according to its mission - to increase and diffuse information about how the nation's lands are apportioned, utilized, and perceived - and to expand its reach further into the cultural realm.

I have a very simple (possibly stupid) question.
I am wondering if there is a simple way to model a mass on a rope (or string) in MapleSim, and measure the tension in the rope. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Do You Have the Will to Shape Our Future?
By including a gift to Big Cat Rescue in your will you are demonstrating your concern for the ongoing care of our cats; in addition to protecting the future of our public education programs to prevent abuse of these lovely animals.
A bequest to Big Cat Rescue means you can make a planned gift, while ensuring your loved ones are provided for. Bequests come from all corners of our supporter groups and are not necessarily left by the very wealthy, but by people who want to support the cats and the causes of Big Cat Rescue. Some examples: Bequest an IRA retirement asset, an Insurance Policy, a gift of a percentage of your estate, and/or the gift of a specific dollar amount stated in your will.
Oftentimes supporters cannot afford to give as generously through their lifetime as they would like. Leaving a bequest is a great opportunity to support the vital work of Big Cat Rescue without hindering your finances during your lifetime. All bequests, regardless of the size, will be gratefully received.
People want to provide for family and loved ones in a way that reflects the relations they had during their lifetime. Similarly, they often want to help ensure that the charitable causes that were important to them continue to receive support after they are gone. It's comforting to know that even though we have passed on, the animals for whom we cared so much about, will still receive the benefits of our lifelong work and enduring compassion.
Questions to consider before speaking to a professional adviser:
What have I got to leave?
If you own your own home, how much is it worth? Have you any savings or investments? Valuables? Jewelry?
Who do I want to help?
Of course you must make provisions for your family and friends first. Make a list of their full names and addresses for your advisor.
Which causes are important to you?
If you know them, make a note of their official charity name, address, and registered charity number to give to your advisor. If you love the Big Cats this is the information your advisor will need: Big Cat Rescue Corp. a 501 c 3 Charity FEIN# 59-3330495 Address: 12802 Easy Street Tampa, FL 33625 813.920.4130 fax 866.571.4523 firstname.lastname@example.com
Your accountant or attorney can provide additional information on gift opportunities and which method would be the most beneficial for you and your family. This information is general in nature and does not constitute legal or financial advice, and should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional advice.
We are an organization fortunate enough to have an unusually loyal and committed group of members. These good people provide the financial, material, and volunteer services that allow us to care for the many animals in our care. These same members often talk to us about including Big Cat Rescue in their will as they plan for the time after they are gone.
Typically, the support you provide Big Cat Rescue comes out of your annual income. The disposition of your estate following your death is a much more thought provoking matter. People want to provide for family and loved ones in a way that reflects the relations they had when they were alive. Similarly, they often want to help ensure that those charitable causes that were important to them receive support after they are gone. It's a nice thing to imagine that even though we have passed on, the animals for whom we cared so much before will still receive the benefits of our lifelong work and enduring compassion. It is also humbling and very moving to us at Big Cat Rescue when these kinds of gifts arrive. They are a strong statement about the giver's values and aspirations as well as an affirmation of their commitment to animals and their confidence that we will reliably continue to carry out that commitment as we translate their posthumous support into hands-on animal care.
Thank you for remembering wildlife as you prepare your will and for thinking about Big Cat Rescue as the continuing vehicle for that memory. Let us know that you have made arrangements for the animals and we will add your name to our Legacy Society.
Your Will
One of the simplest ways to make a planned gift without even changing your will is through a codicil, which is a separate document that is like an addition or amendment to your will. The links below contain Sample Codicil Forms applicable in Florida, one worded for a male donor (Testator), one for a female donor (Testatrix). The forms are provided only as samples to acquaint you with them, they are not intended as legal or tax advice. It is highly advisable to consult with a qualified financial advisor and/or attorney to do your planned giving.
Codicil Form – Female Donor Codicil Form – Male Donor
Another is simply to name a charity as beneficiary on a brokerage account or insurance policy.
Contact email@example.com for Information about Wills and Bequests. We have some wonderful attorneys who donates their time to Big Cat Rescue who can help you plan your will for a very reasonable fee. Let us know if you want us to have one of them contact you.
Whether supported through an outright gift or planned gift, all Big Cat Rescue programs are made possible through the generosity and commitment of people like you. A planned gift to Big Cat Rescue helps to ensure the future of the services and programs we provide in your community and worldwide and may further your financial goals.
What are planned gifts… Planned gifts include gifts through your will, charitable gift annuities, gifts of life insurance, pooled income funds, and charitable trusts.
Many of our supporters make charitable gifts by naming Big Cat Rescue as a beneficiary in their wills.
Bequests in your Will
Many people who give to charity choose to leave something behind to their favorite cause when they pass away. Not only does this create a fitting legacy, it also passes on some excellent tax advantages to your estate.
Making a Will is the only way you can be sure that your wishes will be followed after you die. If you don't make one, part or all of your estate may go to people who you never intended to benefit. Not only that, Inheritance taxes and attorney fees could take a substantial part of what you leave behind. (Up to 60%)
Providing a stated bequest to Big Cat Rescue – listing us as a beneficiary in your will – is probably the simplest method and provides a charitable tax deduction.
Please consider the following opportunities of bequests…
Specific Bequest
A "specific bequest" is one whereby the Will provides Big Cat Rescue with a specific sum of money or specific percentage of money, a specific item of property (such as land or personal property), or a defined type of property such as stocks or collections.
Example Specific Bequest Will language:
"I hereby bequeath to Big Cat Rescue Corp., 12802 Easy Street, Tampa, FL 33625, the sum of $_____ (and/or the following described property_____)."
Residual or Remainder Bequest
Residual Bequest is the will providing all that remains after payment of debts of the estate (such as administrative and or funeral expenses) is provided to Big Cat Rescue.
Example Residual Bequest Will language:
"I hereby bequeath all (or ____ percent) of my residuary estate to Big Cat Rescue Corp., 12802 Easy Street, Tampa, FL 33625."
Contingent Bequest
A Contingent Bequest can ensure that if circumstances make it impossible to carry out your original Will requests – such as when you survive your spouse or other heirs – your assets will then be passed to Big Cat Rescue rather than to unintended beneficiaries. Childless couples often provide for the entire estate to go to the surviving spouse; if the spouse does not survive you, Big Cat Rescue becomes the primary beneficiary.
Example Contingent Bequest Will language:
"I bequeath to my brother John Doe the sum of $_____ and, in the event he shall predecease me, I direct this sum to be paid to Big Cat Rescue Corp., 12802 Easy Street, Tampa, FL 33625."

A gift by bequest offers a practical way to provide substantial support to Big Cat Rescue is not subject to federal or state estate or inheritance taxes, and there is no limit on the allowable deduction.
When you are a planned gift donor, Big Cat Rescue will honor you with membership in the Legacy Society. We realize that with your special gift, you consider us to be part of your family, and we want to do our best to keep you informed as to how your gift will be used and to give you the opportunity to tell us of your wishes.
Your accountant or attorney can provide additional information on gift opportunities and which method would be the most beneficial for you and your family. This information is general in nature and does not constitute legal or financial advice, and should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional advice.
Life Income Gift
You irrevocably transfer some assets to Big Cat Rescue now, and in return, you (and a survivor, if you wish) receive income for life.
Perhaps you would like to make a substantial gift to Big Cat Rescue but feel unable to do so because you need the income for retirement or to provide for someone who depends on you.
A 'Life Income Gift' provides you the satisfaction of making a meaningful lifetime gift without sacrifice.
A life income gift allows you to transfer assets now, and yet continue to receive income from the cash, stock, or other properties contributed. Besides knowing the good work your gift will do, benefits of a life income gift provide you with:
- Increase your income for life;
- Receive a generous charitable contribution deduction; and
- If you contribute stock, avoid any capital gains tax on the appreciation.
A life income gift may be particularly attractive if you have low-yielding assets, yet the same are highly appreciated — for instance a stock paying little or no dividends, but is now worth much more than you paid for it. By using the stock to fund a life income gift to Big Cat Rescue instead of selling it yourself, you can avoid or greatly reduce capital gains taxes and increase your spendable income.
Examples of Life Income Plans
Charitable Remainder Trusts
A Charitable Remainder Trust is an irrevocable trust into which you move cash, securities or property, reserving all or a part of the income from the invested asset for life – your life and /or that of a loved one, or for a fixed term of years. When the trust ends, the assets remaining pass to Big Cat Rescue.
Income from the trust may either be paid in the form of a fixed dollar amount (annuity trust) or a fixed percentage of the asset held in the trust (unitrust).
Charitable Remainder Trusts may be set up for either a fixed term of years or for life. In addition, they may be set up for up to two beneficiaries.
For example:
Jane and John Doe want to make gifts to their two grandchildren to help pay for their college tuitions and contribute to their income during the first years of work. Since they are financially comfortable and willing to irrevocably set aside a sum to accomplish this purpose, their financial advisor suggested a fixed term annuity trust for eight years.
Jane and John created a charitable remainder annuity trust funded with $100,000 of appreciated stock (without incurring a capital gains tax). The trust was invested conservatively to earn 7% while paying the grandchildren a total of $8,000 per year. Their financial advisor prepared the following chart to demonstrate how the Trust will work.
Year End | Trust Value | Cumulative Pay Out |
Year 1 | $99,000 | $8,000 |
Year 2 | $97,930 | $16,000 |
Year 3 | $96,785 | $24,000 |
Year 4 | $95,560 | $32,000 |
Year 5 | $94,249 | $40,000 |
Year 6 | $92,846 | $48,000 |
Year 7 | $91,345 | $56,000 |
Year 8 | $89,739 | $64,000 |
At the end of eight years, the grandchildren will have received $64,000 in annuity payments, and the charity would receive the principle – more than $89,000.
The charitable remainder annuity trust pays you a fixed dollar amount annually for life. The fixed payments are determined by the payout percentage selected at the beginning of the trust. You can claim a charitable deduction on your income tax form the year that you create the trust. The payments you receive are taxed as ordinary income, and in some cases as capital gain or tax-free return of principal.
Charitable Remainder Unitrust
The charitable remainder unitrust pays you a fixed percentage of the fair market value of the trust assets, as revalued each year. Like the annuity trust, you can claim a charitable deduction on your income tax form the year that you create the trust. The payments you receive are taxed as ordinary income, and in some cases as capital gain or tax-free return of principal.
For example:
Mr. Edwards irrevocably transfers $100,000 to create a charitable remainder unitrust that will provide him with life income payments. The trust agreement provides that he will receive 6 percent of the fair market value of the assets each year. The first year he receives $6,000 (100,000 x 6%). One year later the trust assets are valued at $120,000, so he is paid $7,200 ($120,000 x 6%). If the trust assets are worth $110,000 at the beginning of the next year, he will receive $6,600 ($110,000 x 6%). And so on each year. If trust income exceeds the stated payout percentage, the excess is added to the unitrust assets and reinvested.
Life income gifts such as those described here can increase your rate of return considerably for the rest of your life and give you an abundant current income tax deduction as well. This type of gift is a solid way to increase your spendable income without going to risky or speculative investments, and will give you the benefit of a tax deduction not available through other types of transactions. At the same time you will be making a valuable donation that will support Big Cat Rescue's work into the future.
When you are a life income donor, Big Cat Rescue will honor you with membership in the Legacy Society. We realize that with your special gift, you consider us to be part of your family, and we want to do our best to keep you informed as to how your gift will be used and to give you the opportunity to tell us of your wishes.
Your accountant or attorney can provide additional information on gift opportunities and which method would be the most beneficial for you and your family. This information is general in nature and does not constitute legal or financial advice, and should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional advice.
You can start helping right now with a tax deductible donation!
Gift of Life Insurance
Making a gift of life insurance offers a number of important benefits; Big Cat Rescue receives the life insurance benefit; a gift of life insurance is fixed, and it's a simple way for you to provide us with a significant gift and establish your legacy. A gift of life insurance can also offer immediate tax savings and ensures that your entire estate passes directly to your heirs.
Some of our supporters no longer need their life insurance that was purchased years ago to provide for children or other family members. If that is your situation, please consider donating the policy to Big Cat Rescue. You may claim a charitable deduction for approximately the policy's cash surrender value, and the proceeds are completely removed from your estate.
Pooled Income Fund
Pooled Income Funds are one of the most efficient charitable planning tools available today. They deliver many benefits to the donor while greatly simplifying the charitable giving process. Your gift of money, marketable securities, or both to Big Cat Rescue's pooled income fund is invested together with similar gifts from other supporters. Each year, you receive your share, which is taxable as ordinary income, of the fund's earning.
For example, Mr. Simon's $10,000 life income gift is invested in our pooled income fund. The fund's net income is 6 percent this year, so he receives $600–his share of the annual earnings. Each year, Mr. Simon's payment will reflect any increase or decrease in the fund's net income.
Pooled Income Funds are one of the most efficient charitable planning tools available today. Pooled income funds are especially appropriate for individuals who have need for a good income but do not have substantial capital, and for those with substantial assets who cannot afford a reduction of income if the assets were depleted. Similar to mutual funds, pooled income funds are trust funds into which donors contributions are pooled and invested.
Pooled Income Funds allow you to make a charitable gift today, earn an income for life, avoid capital gains, support Big Cat Rescue and get an immediate tax deduction.
Charitable Lead Trust
Individuals with very large estates can use a charitable lead trust to benefit Big Cat Rescue and pass principal to family members with little or no tax penalty.
The Smiths decide to place $10 million in assets into a Charitable Lead Trust. They also decide that Big Cat Rescue is to receive 5 percent for 25 years. The results are as follows:
- Provide Big Cat Rescue with an annual gift of $500,000 or $12.5 million over 25 years.
- Minimize the estate tax.
- Minimize the generation skipping tax.
- Pass along the full $10 million gift to the grandchildren plus the growth on the assets in the trust over and above the 5 percent paid out to Big Cat Rescue.
Charitable Lead Trusts are complex, but they are also highly flexible and can be extremely effective. With a charitable lead trust, you are giving Big Cat Rescue the income from the asset and not the asset itself. By taking the time to plan your charitable gifts, you may be able to take advantage of some special tax benefits and make charitable giving a real win-win situation.
Gifts of Retirement Plans
Retirement funds can be among the best assets to use for a charitable gift. Many individuals today have large qualified retirement plans such as an IRA, 401(k), or Keogh plans. These assets have been growing tax-free for years. Once the owner begins to receive payments from the qualified plans, the distributions are taxed. The plans are also included in the owner's taxable estate. Retirement plans, including pension, 401k, IRA, Keogh, 403(B), are often subject to extremely high tax rates that result in an "involuntary gift" to the federal government.
Designation of your retirement plan to Big Cat Rescue allows the donor to save considerable tax consequences for their children or other retirement fund beneficiaries. Unfortunately, many retirement plan owners do not give much thought to what happens to the funds after they have passed away. In some cases, giving away retirement funds can actually increase the amount of funds available to beneficiaries.
One way to make a gift of your retirement plan is to create a charitable remainder trust through your will. It works like this: Your IRA assets will be transferred to a charitable remainder trust. There is no tax due because the charitable remainder trust is a tax-exempt entity. The trust will provide life income to the beneficiary (for example, your child) with an eventual gift to Big Cat Rescue. The beneficiary will pay income tax on the distributions from the trust. Your estate will receive an estate tax charitable deduction for the value of Big Cat Rescue's right to eventually receive the trust assets.
Your accountant or attorney can provide additional information on gift opportunities and which method would be the most beneficial for you and your family. This information is general in nature and does not constitute legal or financial advice, and should not be relied upon as a substitute for professional advice.
You can start making a difference today!

Title: | Nonlinear optical characteristics of nanocomposites of ZnO–TiO2–SiO2 |
Author: | Litty, Irimpan; Bindu, Krishnan; Nampoori, V P N; Radhakrishnan, P |
Abstract: | In this article we present the nonlinear optical properties of ZnO–TiO2–SiO2 nanocomposites prepared by colloidal chemical synthesis. Nonlinear optical response of these samples is studied using nanosecond laser pulses at an off-resonance wavelength. The nonlinearity of the silica colloid is low and its nonlinear response can be improved by making composites with ZnO and TiO2. These nanocomposites show self-defocusing nonlinearity and good nonlinear absorption behaviour. The nonlinear refractive index and the nonlinear absorption increases with increasing ZnO volume fraction. The observed nonlinear absorption is explained by two photon absorption followed by weak free carrier absorption and nonlinear scattering. ZnO–TiO2–SiO2 is a potential nanocomposite material for the development of nonlinear optical devices with a relatively small limiting threshold. |

I always found the bulk bag phenomenon kind of funny, especially since it was always such a staple this summer. I always thought you'd want to match your bag to the season, like summer is lightweight and airy, winter is heavier. Are you talking about the Crocodile Satchel? I love the shape but I'm not feeling the color as much.
The thing I dislike most about huge bags is the excessive amount of hardware. As if carrying a big bag isn't burden enough, now you're also weighed down with 15 pounds of metal! Maybe it has something to do with the crazy prices of 'it' handbags, when they're costing well into the thousands you want a lot of material for that cash.
