Rare earth elements have made significant contributions to the development of high-tech industries, particularly in the field of functional ceramics. The addition of rare earth elements to raw materials can significantly improve the unique functions of these ceramics. Functional ceramics is a new type of ceramic material for meeting the developing needs of computer science, automatic control, sensing technology, bioengineering, environmental science and other fields.

During the last 30 years there has been a surge in the applications of rare earth elements and their alloys in several technology devices such as computer memory, DVDs, rechargeable batteries, autocatalytic converters, super magnets, mobile phones, LED lighting, superconductors, glass additives, fluorescent materials, phosphate binding agents, solar panels and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) agents. The most abundant rare-earth element is cerium, which is actually the 25th most abundant element in Earth's crust, having 68 parts per million (about as common as copper).

Here's a fun, customisable fridge magnet for your pet!
On a slightly more serious note, all sorts of gadgets and devices are powered these days using magnets made from rare earth metals. These metals are being utilised increasingly in very high-tech systems and their success brings a boost to the economy. Rare earth magnets are made from the elements neodymium, iron and boron and so are known as NdFeB magnets. NdFeB magnets are the strongest magnets you can get (except for superconducting magnets). Rare earth metals are now utilised to improve the efficiency and performance of numerous technologies, including the magnetic technologies that power hybrid and electric vehicles, aircraft controls, loudspeakers, mobile phones, wind turbines, loudspeakers, factory automation equipment and robots! Rare earth metals have enabled the miniaturisation of all of these systems, making smaller, more compact components.

Are these cats saying "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil"? Dear me, no! I imagine our ginger friend on the left is saying, "Dude, where's my breakfast?" The innocent looking feline in the middle is thinking: "Why doesn't this human put the fire on?" And the grey cat is wishing you would stop whatever pointless activity you're engaged in and set his clockwork mouse going, or dragging a lure across the carpet for him to pounce on.

I am happy to join my shape friends. I am an oval, a slightly squashed version of a circle. I don’t roll well, but I make great cat eyes. You can use me to create eggs or holes in the ground, be careful you don’t fall in. I am also great as a plate; you can decorate me around the edges or the middle and place yummy treats on me. Play with me, and pair me with other shapes to make your art slides fun and unique.

I am jumping in to join my shape friends. Don’t I look terrific? I am a pentagon, and I have five sides and five corners. Your pets can have so much fun fitting me together to form unusual art. A single pentagon looks like the silhouette of a barn or house. Put a few of me together, and I make good paving stones or wall decorations. Play around with me and see what new animals or fun buildings you can create.

We have puzzle shapes, but I have come to join in the fun as they were a bit lonely with no connecting puzzle pieces to join up with. Now you can finish a whole puzzle. When you are done having fun joining me up with my pals, you and your pets can decide on what picture should be on me if you want a picture.

Wow! A bandana for your puppy. A bandana or kerchief is a small triangle of fabric you can wear on your head—it won’t cover the whole head—or around your neck as an accessory or to add a bit of warmth. The snowflake design on this soft cotton is perfect for the winter months and will add a dash of colour and fun.

Why, there's no "r-egret" when you meet an Egret!

EEK! OK, wait, that's a spider web, but I don't see the web owner, so I'll browse this web and enjoy the beauty of the dew on the gossamer threads, quickly, before the owner comes home!

Iridescent white feathers do not immediately come to mind when someone says "Peacock" but there's an intrinsic beauty to the absence of color.

Nothing sings to the heart of a young pet like the beauty of a horse, a pinto or paint, the true wild mustang of the wild west.

These clouds are so inviting, fluffy and soft. I wonder how it would feel to walk upon the clouds. Would the feet sink deep into the cloud or would your feet skim lightly across the top? Would you become tired like you do if you walk for a long time on the ground, or would you be able to walk and never tire, no matter how far you went?

Bolts of energy, radiating light—flung downward from unseen hands—pierce the land.

... what so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming.

This rural white church in New Hampshire might be small, but it makes a big impact in the community. The minister shares sermons encouraging its members to show God's love to everyone. It lives that out by having a weekly meal of sharing where anyone can join in bringing nearby residents together for a delicious meal and meaningful connections.

The Turkish flag consists of a red field with a white crescent moon and five-pointed star placed slightly off-centre. The design derives from the original Ottoman flag dating from the 1700s. When the Republic of Turkey was established in 1923, it took as its flag that which was used by the Ottoman Empire. During the dozen subsequent years, various refinements were made to the flag, for example, the specific shade of vivid red that was to be used. The present flag design was first approved in 1936.

Canada is a vast country with a huge amount to offer. Ontario is known for its forests, wildernesses and abundant wildlife, yet 40% of the population lives here. The capital, Ottawa, is modern and multicultural, as is Toronto, which is not far from Niagara Falls and the USA border. Quebec has a predominantly French-speaking community but a good proportion of inhabitants are of Irish descent. Quebec City, the capital of Quebec, has an old-world European charm, as does Montreal. Three-quarters of the world's maple syrup is produced in Quebec! British Columbia, Canada's westernmost province, has immense mountains, deep forests and dramatic coastlines, and Vancouver is a delight. Alberta: three words--Banff National Park! See the amazing Lake Louise in the Canadian Rockies. Then Saskatchewan, where you can enjoy unique landscapes with road trips, hiking, enjoying incredible sunsets and sunrises and abundant wildlife. Polar bear safaris can be undertaken in Manitoba, or how about a trip to the Royal Canadian Mint? Then there's Newfoundland and Labrador: "Anything but Ordinary"! How about a spot of whale-watching or iceberg-viewing? The Maritime provinces are the furthest east, consisting of New Brunswick (apple-picking, leaf-peeping, motorcycle routes); Nova Scotia (sailing trips, lighthouse-spotting) and Prince Edward Island (golfing, fishing, farming communities). Then to the north are the three Canadian territories. The Yukon offers experiences from the aurora borealis to beer festivals! The Northwest Territories is the dream place for anyone fond of the outdoors. Then Nunavut, where you can experience dog-sledding, snowmobiling and kayaking!

Is this pattern from the (faux) hide of a cow or is it an ink blot go awry? Only the designer truly knows.

I guess I must be bored. I'm sitting here staring at the ceiling, trying to see if there are any animal shapes in the plaster.

Just hear those sleigh bells jingling Ring-ting-tingling too Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

And friends are calling, "Yoo hoo"
Come on, it's lovely weather
For a sleigh ride together with you

Zero. Naught. Nada. Nothing. Zip.

One... they say it's a lonely number.

Two for the price of one!

Three... little pigs' favorite number.

Use all five of your senses.

Six of one... half dozen of another.

Seven days a week I spin the wheel.

Behind the eight-ball.

Cats have nine lives.

I'll be your BFF 4 ever!

Am I a hyphen? Or a dash? You decide! One well-known use of a hyphen is to join words with a combined meaning, but the fact that no spaces are used might not be as well known. Now a dash, on the other hand, has a space on either side - and you can see how lovely I look when used this way!
