Here's a little Japanese-style aid to meditation: a pagoda lantern surrounded by natural stones. It can also aid concentration in the practice of yoga. Whilst creating a mini relaxation garden, it is recommended to stay with neutral and earthy colors, such as like white, cream, grey and beige.

Get your flippers ready! This staple in Canadian homes is coming your way. A storm is brewing and we thought you could use one or two of these. We would have gift wrapped it for you but have you ever tried to wrap a shovel?

Oh boy! I am going for my first lasso lesson today. What is a lasso? It is a very long thin rope that may have a slight stiffness to keep the loop part open. Ranchers use it to catch cattle when they want to give them a good brushing and maybe some medicine. I thought it would be fun to be able to twirl the loop over my head and run around catching fence posts because you know how fence posts like to wander off.

Ok, I hold the rope like this, and then the loop like that and oh no…I have just caught my own foot. This rope twirling is hard to learn. Oh, now I have the rope all tangled around my body. I will keep practicing. I bet you would be good at this; give it a try.

Choo-choo! What? Oh, it's not that kind of railing?

In 1842 the number of known rare-earth elements was six: yttrium, cerium, lanthanum, didymium, erbium and terbium. Rare earth elements have become extremely important to our world of technology owing to their unique properties. These elements are critical to technologies ranging from mobile phones and televisions to LED light bulbs and wind turbines.

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.

Simple, classic and elegant, I work as a frame for artwork, a colour mask, or a mount within an outer frame.

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.

Easy, breezy short hair. Short hair can suit any pet and be cooler on those hot days.

Swinging locks. Perhaps you could use this to make a braid or ponytail.

One side can be longer and one side shorter, whatever fashion your pet likes best.

There are many hairstyles. Play around with all the choices and see what your pet likes best. It is so easy to change your hairstyle and colour.

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.

If you are going to have something in your birdcage, you need something under your birdcage to keep things like birds and plants from falling out. Have you ever tried to put something in a box that had no bottom—it is impossible, I tell you.

An ancient stone, diamond/flower pattern wall or flooring.

Autumn is in the air as leaves gather amongst stones on a beach in Bursa, a city in northwest Turkey.

Stone walls are found in many places in Turkey. In Istanbul, there are remnants of an ancient wall that ringed the old city of Constantinople. In Alanya, there is the Alanya Castle which is also ringed by stone walls.
