The document summarizes Chapter 1 and 2 of Lemuel Gulliver's early life. It describes how he was born in England and became a surgeon before his ship was lost at sea in a storm. He awoke stranded on a beach in the land of Lilliput, where he discovered tiny people only 15 cm tall. The Lilliputians were frightened of Gulliver at first but provided him with food and transported him to their capital city. The king was curious about Gulliver and had him examined. In Chapter 2, Gulliver learned the Lilliputian language and was freed, though still not allowed to leave. He attended military parades and visited the capital city, offering to help

The document contains several short stories written by children about various animals in different environments. Some of the stories describe predators hunting and eating prey, while others describe animal interactions and adventures. The stories vary in terms of characters, plots, grammar, and detail.
Trophy hunting can be an effective conservation tool if certain conditions are met:
1) It provides sufficient economic incentives for local communities to support conservation;
2) The hunting process is regularly monitored and reviewed; and
3) It employs an inclusive approach that benefits local communities. Case studies in Pakistan and Africa found that trophy hunting programs that met these conditions helped increasing populations of endangered species like ibex and rhinos while providing revenue for conservation. However, banning hunting as in Kenya was found to reduce wildlife populations and conservation funding.

Discussion paper from researchers at Resources for the Future (RFF), a nonpartisan think tank devoted exclusively to natural resource and environmental issues, taking a look at how the "new way" of drilling multiple wells from a single pad, which is akin to a manufacturing process, is flattening out the supply curve. That, in turn, means far less price volatility for natgas.
The document is a collection of diary entries from a trip to the Grand Canyon. It describes experiences hiking trails, attending talks about the canyon's geology, wildlife like condors and owls, and other activities. Key points covered include the canyon's colorful rock layers dating back billions of years, the role of the Colorado River in carving the canyon, and conservation efforts that helped increase the condor population from just 22 birds.

The document summarizes James Hanna's 5-day fishing trip in King Salmon, Alaska after graduating high school. On the first day, James and his family troll-fished for king salmon and caught 8 smaller fish. The second day involved fly fishing in a river and catching over 40 fish, including large chum salmon. The third day was James' favorite as they fly fished for trout and char on a remote river while being followed by grizzly bears. They built a fire and cooked their catch for a memorable meal. The fourth day surprised them with good fishing and setting up their own camp. The last day yielded only one fish before departing.
The document introduces a children's educational program called Green Kids Media that teaches about endangered animals and their habitats across four continents - North America, Africa, South America, and Europe. In each episode, characters acquire magical powers that allow them to travel to different locations to search for and help endangered species, such as condors in California, white rhinos in Africa, golden lion tamarins in Brazil, and wolverines in Europe. The program aims to educate children about real endangered animals and environmental issues while entertaining them with an adventure story format.
This 11-day bird watching program in Manu, Peru offers guests the opportunity to see a diverse array of bird species across different ecosystems. Guests will travel through the Andes slopes and cloud forest, spotting over 60 species of hummingbirds, 70 species of antbirds, and more. The itinerary includes visits to macaw clay licks, canopy towers, and mammal salt licks to observe birds, monkeys, tapirs and other wildlife. Lodging is provided in biological stations and eco-lodges along the route. Guests can expect to see over 500 bird species by the end of the tour.
The hikers spent a week backpacking on the Appalachian Trail through the Smoky Mountains, encountering rain, difficult climbs and descents, wildlife like a bear in their shelter, and meeting other travelers along the way as they made their way from Winding Stair Gap in North Carolina to Fontana Dam Shelter over the course of 6 days. Highlights included scenic views when the clouds parted and enjoying a hot meal and shower after a long day on the trail, but challenges included heavy rain, running low on water, and tough mountain terrain.
Standing by the most powerful waterfall on earth (yes the sound and feeling on the top of the Falls is real powerful); after a game drive meeting towering Giraffes crossing one of the game drive tracks is what makes Murchison Falls National Park one of the popular destination equally for Foreign residents, nonresidents and Ugandans.

What small town people see as their biggest challenges, and what topic rural people most want help with. Top conclusions from the survey
Rural people were twice as likely to say they were optimistic about their communities’ future as negative.
Continuing lack of housing, inactive downtowns and population losses ranked the highest as rural community challenges, joined by lack of child care.
The ongoing lack of workers, support services and usable buildings, stiff competition from online businesses, and marketing ranked the highest as challenges to rural small businesses. Other preconception-changing results
Defying stereotyped media profiles of poverty, crime and drug abuse as the primary rural challenges, rural people continually ranked these near the bottom as community challenges.
Rural businesses innovate. Far from stuck in their ways and out of date, the most common business assets listed in 2023 were innovative ideas and up-to-date marketing techniques.
Although rural economic development often centers around jobs, it was one of the least-mentioned challenges in this survey. Rural people mentioned available jobs or good jobs as often as mentioning a lack of jobs or low paying jobs.
For all the reports of a lack of small business lending, rural people said usable buildings are harder to find than loans, a continuing trend from previous surveys.
Rural small business owners showed little or no interest in business plan assistance and pitch competitions, yet these types of assistance continue to be commonly offered to rural businesses.
Rural business people were more likely to mention that they needed help with marketing, starting a business, or receiving economic development incentives on par with those offered to recruit out-of-town firms.
Lack of housing, inactive downtowns and population losses continue to rank the highest as rural community challenges. Lack of childcare also ranks in the top 5.
The lack of workers and difficulties with marketing continue to challenge rural small businesses. Lack of support from government or agencies ranked second. Lack of usable buildings continues to climb in importance, breaking into the top five.

What do small town businesses know that makes them successful? How has the whole business world become more like a small town? We'll answer those questions together, and we'll explore the future of small towns.
Social Media & Tourism: Market YOUR Main StreetBecky McCray
You can't do it all alone. You need an entire army of social media champions online to carry your message. These are the people who already love your Main Street. Now it's a matter of finding them and helping them.
Manage multiple businesses without going crazyBecky McCray
Like many small town business people, I have more than one business: liquor store, cattle ranch, speaking and writing about small town business, and Tourism Currents. So how do I do it all? It‘s one of the most common questions that I get asked, so I’m sharing my answers.
Cory Miller of Entrepreneurship Lab set up a webinar with me, “Managing Multiple Businesses without Going Crazy.”
I shared not just the big picture business strategy, but also the day-to-day level productivity skills that keep it all from falling apart.
The document outlines 7 rules for small towns to survive and thrive in a changing economy and society. The rules are: 1) Plan for zero and take a long term perspective, 2) Spend brainpower before dollars and be frugal, 3) Multiply lines of income to reduce risk, 4) Work anywhere anytime using technology, 5) Learn customer-driven communication, 6) Be proud of being small while building big, 7) Be local and strengthen the local community. The document argues that locally-owned small businesses are the future if rural areas want to survive.
Charge premium prices and visitors will thank youBecky McCray
Visitors are more willing than ever to pay a premium for good works. Social media gives you the room to stretch out and share the story of your good works, so you can earn those premium prices. Now that the online world makes everything like a small town, your small town survival skills become extra valuable online.
Getting down to business with social media for flooring dealersBecky McCray
This document provides recommendations for small business owners to use social media effectively. It recommends (1) speaking naturally and providing valuable local information, (2) using tools like blogs, video, Facebook and Yelp to engage customers and promote the business, and (3) setting daily goals and checklists to find time for regular social media engagement.
Growing Local Companies and Supporting EntrepreneursBecky McCray

Euro 2024 Belgium's Rebirth the New Generation Match the Golden Era.docxEticketing.co
The Golden Group is over. Can a new group step up? Two years ago, Kevin De Bruyne plunged Belgium’s Euro 2024 plans into disorder when he claimed the team was “too old” to win in an interview with The Protector. That Belgian squad had 10 players over 30 and the maximum average age of any Euro Cup 2024 team at the competition. A group-stage exit and just one goal at the World Cup put Belgium on course for a restructure.

Coach Domenico Tedesco has managed a tactical shakeup and a regular exit for some of the oldest players. Experienced bests remain, not least the 37-year-old Jan Vertonghen in defense, the 32-year-old De Bruyne himself in midfield, and 31-year-old Romelu Lukaku up visible.
Still, younger actors like De Bruyne’s Manchester City partner Jeremy Doku bring fresh vitality to the team. Euro Cup Germany Qualifying unbeaten with just four goals allowed from eight games was a welcome sign of accomplishment back on track under Tedesco.
The only other squad in Group E besides Belgium to UEFA Euro 2024 qualify unbeaten, Romania was awestruck by winning a group that also checked Switzerland and Israel. Still, Euro 2024 will test a squad sorely lacking in top-level skill.

5. The van der Merwe Family Roy, my professional hunter, his wife Janet, daughters Rune’ and Kaylin, and Uncle Kobus Roy’s Ranch, Otjandaue, is over 40 square miles
6. More family pics Rune’ with housecleaner Marta (a Bushman) and Celia (a Herero) the cook. Kaylin with her babies.
10. Stalked a group of kudus, mostly females but one male. Had the male in crosshairs but didn’t shoot. Roy said it was a good, average kudu but it so early in the hunt I let it go. Maybe should have taken it.
14. Drove to water hole, on the way saw 3 good impala. Stalked them but they got away, very jumpy.
15. Climbed up in stand near the waterhole and watched oryx come to drink in late afternoon. Had 5 in front of me, not shooters (young males, pregnant females). Then a big male came in – Roy said he had massive horns. Had to wait almost 10 minutes for him to present a good shot. I shot him in the right shoulder….he only went 15 yards.
16.
17. Day 1 Day 1 – Oryx Bull –a gold medal trophy 75 yards – 4:00 p.m. near waterhole, horn length each 37.5 “, approx weight 500 lbs
18. More Day 1 Darwin’s Missing Link or baboon skull? You be the judge. The Bushmen go to work. Oryx get an afternoon drink.
19.
20. Drove for 4 hours, the hunting was slow as saw very little compared to yesterday. It was probably due to cloud cover early. When the clouds burned off, the wind picked up and that didn’t help. Add to that we’re in a full moon period and the animals can feed at night easily. The few animals we saw were standing or bedded down. It’s the dry season and they’re having a drought so probably the place to be especially in the afternoon is ambushing waterholes.
22. We drove 10 km to a high stand overlooking a water hole and watched 30 minutes. Saw a duiker and 3 oryx in that time but the wind switched and blew our scent toward the game so we gave up that stand.
23. We drove around the rest of the afternoon. Saw 4 impala that were pretty good but a little young so we didn’t stalk. Saw 2 giraffe up close.
24.
25.
26. The animals were a bit more active than yesterday. Saw a big kudu bull and Roy and I jumped off to stalk it but he was on to us. Females in the area alerted too. When we got to where they were, they were gone. Saw 2 bull hartebeest during the kudu stalk but they alerted on us as well and ran. The bush was just too thick to get close to either kudu or hartebeest.
27. Drove to a waterhole and found 3 black wildebeest in the area. It took a while to creep up to a get a clear shot. Shot the oldest at about 85 yards. He’ll make a good mount.
32. Drove for 1.5 hours this morning. Saw lots of animals and finally found a herd of zebra. Probably 20 in the herd. We tried to stalk them but the wind wasn’t ideal and they were long gone. Then ran into another herd. The stallion at the rear was in my crosshairs but he put a tree between us and I couldn’t shoot. The herd ran far into the bush.
33. Roy and I sat for a couple of hours over a waterhole. Saw many oryx and female kudu with young. Also a young male kudu came in. A female warthog and her two little ones came in too. Even though we saw a good amount of game, it was windy and Roy says when it’s calm and hot, that waterhole is even more busy.
35. Wind still blowing after lunch…..no too much by Texas standards, but anything over 10 mph and the animals don’t move. We drove the ranch and didn’t see much. Set out some game cameras to see what was moving at night.
38. Swakop is a nice resort town where Roy spent his early years. All the housing is Euro style to me with lots of German influence. We drove to Long Beach, another community on the coast and took some pictures, then on to Walvis Bay, another resort city but with a harbor for large ships.
39. Then, we drove back to Swakop to a snake zoo Saw many of Africa’s “famous” snakes: black mamba, python, zebra snake, puff adder, etc. After that we visited the museum and saw a lot of colonial and native artifacts and much of the history of Namibia - a German colony over a hundred years ago.
40. Lunch at a beachfront restaurant in overlooking swimmers in the cold water.
41. Then, onto the wood and curio market. At 3 in the afternoon and with customers all around, they love to tell tourists, “you’re my first customer”. I laughed in their face and the bargaining began. Bought some knickknacks and the vendors wore me out. Drove back to the ranch.
46. Back hunting today after sightseeing yesterday. We stalked some impala but they gave us the slip. The wind picked up so we sat by a waterhole. Was very windy though a few kudu females came in after 45 minutes, then after them, a group of 6 oryx – one nice bull but I had already shot my oryx. After another hour and more wind, the wind dropped and Roy spotted a warthog. Roy said he has a massive right tusk and the left one is good too, but slightly worn. (Note: when Roy says “massive” to describe an animal, it’s time to take the safety off). I checked him and he looked great to me so I shot and he dropped without a kick. He was a nice big male, probably 120 pounds.
48. We found a large group of impala but they were a breeding group so we passed them by. 5 minutes later, we found a small bachelor group of about 5 impala. We began the stalk and of course, they spotted us and moved away but weren’t too alarmed. Bullet frustrated Roy when he ran in front of us and Roy had to adjust his attitude. Bullet behaved from then on. After stalking for 10-15 min, we finally got in position and Roy told me to shoot one standing broadside. He went 20 yards.
49. For the last 1.5 hours, we sat in a blind overlooking a waterhole. Saw oryx and duiker then a HUGE herd of eland came in – the world’s largest antelope – approx 45 of them. The herd bull weighed a ton. We watched them for 30 min. Incredible and very fortunate. Approx 40,000 lbs of eland in front of us.
50.
51. Day 6 Huge Eland herd In dry waterhole – 30 yds Impala – 70 yards
52.
53. The weather forecast called for 15 kph winds which is right at the edge to hunt but we went out anyway. We drove a bit and saw a few animals but it kept getting windier, maybe up to 20-25 kph. So, we decided to not hunt this morning and go into town (Omaruru), get some lamb for the evening barbeque (a Saturday regular), and have some coffee.
55. We went out around 3:30 p.m. and drove to the back of the ranch looking for our final 3 and most difficult to hunt game: kudu, zebra, and hartebeest. The wind had calmed down as it does usually in the afternoon. We had hunted for about 45 minutes when Roy spotted a single male zebra which is the ideal zebra to shoot. It was running to the right and it took a minute to get into position but the zebra was still trotting. Roy whistled and the zebra stopped to listen. I shot from the shoulder and it fell in its tracks. It was a beautiful big male and will make a fine trophy. Glad to get this animal as it is probably the most difficult species to hunt on the ranch. Kobus to it back to the camp for the bushmen to skin and butcher and Roy and I hunted a waterhole until it got dark. Saw some oryx and duiker.
56.
57.
58. Drove and drove looking for kudu but all the ones we saw were females. There was a nice bull with some females at a waterhole but they bolted when they heard the car.
60. We had a short lunch and headed back out to the waterhole where we saw the male kudu earlier. Saw a lot of animals come in – oryx, impala, female kudu, steenbok, warthog, blue wildebeest – but not the ones we’re hunting – male kudu and hartebeest. With 1.5 hours left of sunlight, we drove looking for male kudu. Again, saw lots of animals, even a young male kudu, but no shooters. Shortly after sunset, Roy spotted 2 hartebeest running about 125 yards away. He hurried me to get my gun and I could barely see them. It was difficult to tell front from rear but I knew they wouldn’t stay still so I took a shot. Didn’t feel good about placement as I was rushed. We looked for blood but couldn’t find so we concluded it was a miss. Dinner
61.
62. Got out a little early to hunt the ranch for kudu and hartebeest. Was pretty windy so we weren’t expecting to see too much activity until after lunch. We drove quite a but and were headed back to the house for lunch. On the way back we passed a waterhole and Roy noticed some female kudu in the area so we drove closer. The group ran from the hole and I saw a lot of female kudu and a young male. Roy asked if I got a look at the lead male and I said the only male I saw was a young male trailing who had just started to grow horns. So, we drove the dry riverbed and found the group. A shooter male was in the group and he ran from them and stood behind some brush and a large tree. Roy said to shoot if I could get a shot. I waited and the bull finally made a run for it. I put a good shot on him and he went 50 yards before he fell.
64. We sat in a blind and hope the final species on my list would come in, the red hartebeest, but none did. Quite a few other animals were seen.
65.
66.
67. The last animal I wanted to get is a red hartebeest. Roy has hartebeest on his ranch but they have been very hard to find on his 40 square miles and when you do see them, they run away quickly. So, Roy and I went to another concession where he has access that has a higher concentration of hartebeest. We hunted the ranch and found a breeding group but couldn’t find any males outside of the group. It was impossible to shoot one of these because there are just too many eyes and the group was jumpy.
69. Roy made some calls and we went to a different ranch that also has hartebeest for the afternoon hunt. We drove the large ranch for 3 hours and didn’t see any hartebeest. At the end of the day, the ranch foreman said they had shot a number of them last month in order for the count to match the carrying capacity of the ranch since they’re in somewhat of a drought. Although they said they still had a good population, they were probably driven deeper into the bush because of the cull.
