Obelisk Ridge is the meeting place of the whole pack, in which the leaders and the pack stays on the ridge for the whole full moon. They say that the moon gives them wisdom, because from up on the ridge, they say they are so close to it, they could almost touch the moon.
Location : In the shadows >:3 <---That's EVIL <---Truly, dearest...o.o... <--- Uh, yes, truly, m'dear!!
The brute's muttering touched Fiacre's auds but she thought nothing of the sound until it rose up like a sleeping beast and roared toward her. Rising to her paws, the demoness turned her frame to face the brute. Upon sturdy pillars she stood, staring into the brute's mismatched eyes. Three times within a night the blame had been directed toward her, both of the wolves were prepared to strike her over her mere presence upon the land. Fiacre failed to grasp what she had done or what the wolves were provoked over. It almost seemed like their anger sparked from thin air surrounding her.
Why do you dwell in their lands, with such lesser beings, a voice growled, her voice a coaxing song of a lethal siren. Life would have suited you better elsewhere, these lands are yours for the hiding.
Fiacre's golden pools remained bleak like frozen metal arcs. The voice, her guidance, wished her to leave. Would it be for the better to stay away and lure wolves to their inevitable fates.
"The duration of my flight through these lands seems to have ended," she spoke evenly not looking away from the brute. "I bid thee luck with your snow white companion and your tormented soul. With that the wind's call carry me elsewhere, farewell Ross."
Oh but we shall meet again m'dear, perhaps then you shall see you are like me, shadowed and alive. Perhaps you shall let go of what remains and join the fates.
Standing frozen for a moment longer, the demoness spun away, slinking off into snow. She dared not look back upon her opponent in the woodlands, she wished not to be dragged back to the conflict. If only she had stuck to her solitude, no wonder wolves were violent to one another when their anger is projected out into the world like a poisonous mist.
Ross was rigid as Fiacre padded away from him. Was everyone he cared about going to walk out of his life like Zanna and Fiacre? As if he was nothing more than a play toy? The large brute sighed, his ears flat and his eyes staring at the ground. He let out a loud, mournful howl. It sliced through the silence around him, the rustling leaves joining in his tune. His pupils shrunk as he shook his head. Trying not to let that voice take over. That voice he had pushed away long ago and locked away. But Fiacre, she seemed to be the key to that element. His red and green eyes flooded with fear. He could not let that voice control him again. Mot ever again. It what wa sled him to have a horrible past. So many secrets. Dark secrets.
The woodlands around her did not feel the same as they had before. With the knowledge of other wolves upon them it felt tainted, set the deomoness on edge. Beneath her frozen pads the barren land secreted beneath the snow was torn by her talons. She enjoyed the feeling of the stubborn Earth's skin being clawed apart. The onyx hued wolf may have left the sights of the wolves but she was not going to leave their lives, there was some business she sought to settle. A brute's life she was ordered to take and she planned to do just that, to spill the blood of a foe, but it required not to be the blood of Ross, any victim would suffice her craving.
Parting her ivory jaws, the demoness inhaled the frigid air, feeling it roll onto her tongue and swirl around her in a fine mist. In the near distance she heard a howl, dense with interwoven sorrow fill the air. What was the meaning of the howl bypassed the dark as night femme. She now had victims to find and survival to battle.
Ross plopped down on the ground. He needed to be by himself. That, and he didn't know who to follow him. Ross began thinking. Zanna seemed pretty upset at the sight of Fiacre together, and the fear in her eyes scared him. Was there something about Fiacre that Zanna knew and he didn't? He shivered, unsure of the endless possibilities.
Tell me please, why can't I?
"Ach!" she screamed out loud at herself, outraged at her own thoughts. Suicide?
'A perfectly probable approach, very smart, Zanna!' she growled angrily in her mind.
Slowing down from her high speeds, she sat back on her haunches with a snowy crunch, panting hard from her run. What was she doing?! Proud scot. Why think of such infuriating thoughts? She should live, not die. She should show Ross and Fiacre that she wasn't scared. She was a noble wolf!
But...Would that be a lie? Of course. It was a lie. Couldn't she lie? No. No lying. That was even worse than the thought of suicide! Lying, blatantly, to people she cared for?
Did she even care for Fiacre? 'This must be considered.' she thought, wrinkling her nose in contemplation. She cared for Ross. Oh yes, she would agree heartily to anyone who asked. He was true kindred spirit. He felt like her own kin. And kin cared about kin. But did enemy care for enemy?
'Of course not!' Now she was just being ridiculous. Why would an enemy care for an enemy? That made no sense to her mind. Caring, for someone who cared nothing for you? Of course not. That would be just dumb.
She turned, looking with her large eyes toward the spot the cry came from.
A realm of silence, solitude had been returned, laced into the onyx coat of a wolf. The creature slipped through the darkness as if she tread upon this path before, her paws unconsciously guiding her through the vast forest. A restless energy coursed through her, causing her banner to lash against the thickets of snow but the demoness cared less for the land around her. Stealthily she stalked around the ridge guided by the wide arc of its base. The winds that brushed by her whispered into her lobes, taunting her. She required a kill, to feel nothing but the lust for prey within her. A chuckle escaped the demoness's parted incisors.
A hunt is what I seek, nothing more than survival nothing less than vengeance.
Leaping forth, Fiacre took off through the snow, seeking for her prey. The snow that resembled the fae's white coat prickled Fiacre with annoyance. Would the wrench have returned back to the emotional fool called Ross or was continuing to take out pointless anger upon herself? A violent quiver ran through the demoness's frame, she did not care for their fates.
Let the brute turn, let him be taunted by his own shadows. Fiacre snarled inwardly. He shall suffer without my aid, he shall suffer with the snow white beauty that ought to be knocked out cold than to breathe another day.
Oh her corpse would make a lovely gift, tangled in decaying vines with crimson paint splattering her. A fine canvas, a statue, a warning to all those who dared threaten the demoness. It would be so simple to seek revenge, to bring down talons and fangs upon her but what damage would that inflict. It would only satisfy Fiacre's desires.
No, I need a higher stakes to play a devilish game.
Ross plopped down, yawning. His breath stirred aleaf by his nose. He scrambled to.his paws, staring down at the cliff in front of him. He considered he didn't have much to live for, but he couldn't do that to Zanna. Sighing the male paced back and forth.
Creeping across the lands, the shadows seemed to move, revealing the onyx hues of a creature lurking within the lands. The figure's cranium moved slowly, shifting as if to stretch. She was bored, yearning to sink her claws into the flesh of a living being. When had she last seen the delightful crimson hues, she missed the tones, the rustic taste. A sigh escaped her frame as she recalled the rivers of red, each was magnificent to witness, but to be the creator of the disaster was a tale of it's own. The desire to be close with her victim, to feel the heartbeat against her skin became a memory she was fond of. No, she needed something now, less intimate, a swift kill to merely set the craving back. Circling back the femmora paused, catching her mid pace, how long had she been performing the tedious acts?
You are losing your edge, becoming one of them. A voice hissed, it's tone laced with what sounded like laughter.
"No," Fiacre spat turning around as if facing the voice. "I shall never lower myself to those fools, my own ideas are spun away from their knowledge. As for my 'edge', speak for yourself, reciting your words like a broken record, deeming yourself fit to rule me."
Glaring coldly into the distance, Fiacre's breaths came in hisses and growls.
Ross listened as he heard growls coming from the direction Fiacre had disappeared off too. "Fiacre! Is she hurt?" He murmured quietly to himself, clumsily and not-so-quietly got to his paws. He hesitated, Fiacre would probably shoo him away with a snarl for wanting to help. But why did he want to help? Did it have to do with past encounters with his own troubles, or something else? Ross shook his head, puffing air through his lopsided jaw. He knew it didn't give him the most handsome appearance, but he had learned to live with it. Blinking his red and green eyes, Ross headed in Fia's direction, cautiously but quickly. "Fiacre, are you all right?" He asked gruffly, trying to seem like he didn't care to much about Fiacre. He thought he was doing a pretty good job of it.
Golden orbs blazing, alight with fury, the femmora glared toward the space before her. She could almost see that worthless fool that impersonated her voice, it was mere wisps, no real image but it was there. A mockery it was trying to make of her, taunting her with its own amusement. Parting her jaws, the femme was about to speak, lash out, retaliate but another voice drifted to her auds. Sharply spinning around, the demoness was ready to tear into the intruder. She desired the head of whoever intruded the confrontation but it was too late. The voice was gone, its absent presence leaving behind silence. Had it fled given the chance, did the fates desire for her to battle this being?
"Rossss," Fiacre spoke, slurring the 's' together as she noticed him emerging from the gloom.
Her optics lingered over his build, examining his stature. His flanks seemed to rise a little faster, as if he had hurried to find her, or perhaps the little Snow White was still gone? The rage she had towards her intruder extinguished, as if being smothered to a dull burning. As she openly examined the brute, the demoness' optics narrowed. How much of the conversation had he heard when he ran over, or had he heard it at all.
"My physique is well," Fiacre replied bluntly, unable to spin her regular web of indirect answers.
How sweet, he cares, she thought.
Drawing closer, a soft hum escaped her vocals. He drew her in like a magnet, she desired to know him, his secrets, what he stored away. Why did this brute come, did he care.
"Like a shadow in the sky, you found me with little effort despite your belief of my actions," she spoke softly, her voice starched as she lifted her muzzle to his ear. "Why do you come?"
Why find me dear, what draws you to this toxin?
Ross gulped as Fiacre's tongue slowly slipped out his name like a snake. "Like a shadow in the sky, you found me with little effort despite your belief in what I do. Why do you come?" Ross just stared at her, jaws slightly ajar. "I-I don't know..." That voice, that silky sweet voice Fiacre directed at him. It nagged him so much. It always seemed like she was trying to tap into his piece of mind, to find out everything to turn on him. 'Stop trying to manipulate me!' He wanted to snarl, or at least growl. But he instead collasped heavily, holding on paw over his head. The large brute had a massive headache from all the stress and holding back his true self. This happened every once in awhile. Only Zanna had managed to coax him out of a few things, but not much. She hadn't dug deep enough inside his mind. But Fiacre, it seemed a sif she was delibaretly trying to decieve him, and he knew it. And yet, he found himself worrying about her, falling for her tricks although he knew the consquence in the end. Did he need a friend other than Zanna that bad?
The demoness felt her onyx fur brush against the brute's dappled coating. He was so close to her, she could feel his heat, hear his heart but something was off. His smooth voice stuttered, curling in upon itself, he was struck by uncertainty, becoming a lost bird in a matter of seconds. This reaction was new to the femme, her presence never relaxed an individual, nor did it please one. From the moment her optics set upon the brute, she knew he was different, but how different she did not know until now. Then it was gone, the heat, the soft fur, vanished from her side. He had fallen to the ground, but why? Fiacre stood rooted, this reaction was new, was it another dramatic action like from before. No, this was true pain tormenting the brute.
Lowering her muzzle, the demoness pressed her nose into his cheek.
"Let go of the world, let it become something you stand upon," she whispered gently. The odd starch that leaked into her tone vanished to her surprise, leaving her tone genuine. "See the darkness unfold before you, let its cooling embrace calm you for a minute."
What is this treachery you dare commit against me? The voice spat.
"It is you, against it all," Fiacre spoke almost growling, her voice directed to two beings. "You cannot take over an individual but you cannot be ruled by the world around you. Find yourself, Ross, do not allow yourself to fall too far for the realm beyond is inescapable."
Ross stared up at Fiacre with narrowed multi-colored eyes. "You're going to kill me anyway, what do you want to know?" He asked, the growl leaving his throat as he sighed in defeat. "I don't know why I keep falling for your tricks. Or why I worry about you, but I know my choices will only lead to the consquence you have been dying to have laid out for me." He said, spitting out the words. "I'm done being manipulated by you. I don't know why I trust you so much, and why I have ever been concerned about you, but I do know it doesn't matter in the end." He said coldy, looking away from Fiacre. "So do with me what you will." He growled, still avoiding her gaze.
The demoness let out a short laugh and strode away from the brute only to return to her pacing. Fiacre's frame trembled as she continued to laugh inwardly at the brute's response. He thought she should kill him, perhaps for his words she should, the words he had morphed into his own truth.
"You truly see so little of me, your sight restricted to the first moments you saw me, from that point on you trimmed away memories to form an image that pleases you, that fits your vision." Fiacre spoke flatly, an occasional growl struck between words as she spoke. "I attempt to ease your suffering for a moment, turn my personality into that of another and yet your mirror only reflects the past. Tell me Ross, when you speak to me, when you see me, do you only see a murderer?"
Do you only see the being that claimed part of my mind, the one that guided many of my wrong doings.
"Why do I trust you so." His words rang within her head, why did she trust the being within her skull, why did she crave Ross' presence, to hear him speak, why did she want to help him. Was she going mad to believe herself average? The path the fates laid out was never easy but this was beyond their norm, a realm they hardly ever desired her to see, the lands of a pack. Perhaps they knew what her capabilities were, what restrictions bound her to a plain she sought.
If only you were stronger, you would had this over with, a voice chided as if making a point.
As she spoke the last sentence, Ross whipped his head around and looked her dead in the eye. "No. You're wrong. I didn't see you as what I wanted to see you as, I saw you for what you are." He responded coldly, his gaze locked with hers intently. "And someone who went through what I did, that I could actually help." He said, searching her gaze wity aflicker of sadness and desperation. 'And something else...' He finished in his head. He couldn't tell her that though. Not ever. He had never felt farther from Fiacre, and yet he was standing right next to her. "I do see you as a murderer, but not as a murderer that kills others." He growled, ears flat and green and red gaze blazing with emotions.
Fiacre took a step closer, her nose almost touching the brute's. "You claim to see me as a murderer, but who have you seen disappear from you without a trace, who have you seen die before your eyes. Have you felt the blood beneath your claws, striking back because you believe you should?" Fiacre's tone was rising, words flowing swifter as she spoke. Catching herself the demoness bowed her head, she had said too much, gone too far. "What murderer am I if I am not killing others?" She asked, her tone bleak. A hollowness arose within her, she felt as though the world had been stripped away, leaving her with nothing. What was this feeling, she despised it and yet could not feel hate.
Dying a little bit? The voice inquired almost gleefully.
"Why are you a murderer then?" He echoed, locking his gaze with hers. "Because you murdered..." He began, then saw the devasted look on her face. "I have gone through much worse then you..." He whispered, leaning down close to her ear. "But... nothing is more painful than watching you suffer." He said softly, stiffly pressing himself against her side in a sign of comfort. "And, I think I may know why I worry so much." He said nervously, shivering and giving a gulp as the realization struck him. He began shaking for a moment before the soft feel of Fiace's fur and her bitter sweet scent soothed him and he closed his eyes peacefully for a moment.
Had he gone through worse? The secrets he locked away, trapping them beneath a cold shell, were those the experiences that haunted him just as they haunted her. She could hear his soothing voice in her lobes, the echoes of his vocals brought warmth to her, she did not know why. Stepping closer, the demoness pressed herself lightly against him, feeling his warm fur once more return to her own onyx coating. Burying the side of her muzzle into his fur she inhaled his sweet scent, letting it override her other senses. Being so close made her feel different, not weak but a new strength alighted within her. She did not want the brute to suffer any longer, his worries, his pain, she desired to vanquish them from his mind.
"Why do you worry so when the consequences that attack you claw invisible wounds to your flesh?" Fiacre asked, her voice partially muffled by his fur.
She did not want him to draw away, the thought of her forever soothed by his presence was irrational but she wanted to cling to him.
Why do you worry about me, is it the same as I fear for you?
Ross relaxed deeply as Fiacre decided not to draw away, but to press closer to him. "Because I..." He groped for the right words. He foun dthem, but was afraid of damaging his closeness to Fiacre. What if she didn't feel the same way? "I, uh, because we're friends." He finished clumsily, hoping Fiacre wouldn't say they weren't. He knew this would hurt him majorly, but he'd fight his way through it again if it led to that. He cared for Fiacre as much as he did Zanna, but, in a different way. "You can fight whatever is controlling you. You can be better than it, Fiacre." He murmured, reluctantly steping away from the female. "You are better than it."
Friends, the singular word echoed throughout her thoughts. Is that what the emotions that prodded the demoness were, a mere form of friendship, or was it something else, another force that tugged her to be close with the brute. Sliding her eyelids down over her golden pools, Fiacre stood there silently, enjoying his warmth, his company. Once more his warmth vanished without a trace, he had stepped away from her, perhaps it was just friendships ties that bound the duo. Slowly opening her optics, she looked up into the mismatched eyes feeling as though she was searching for something within their depths but what she was looking for cleared the femmora's path. The only emotions, anger, sorrow, hate and emptiness was all she knew, there had never been a moment she saw more in an individual's eyes nor in her own. She could laugh but it was not joy that engulfed her, but a rather a twisted form of glee that only arose when she was hunting, playing, there was no chance of her being normal.
Did the brute know of the voice that taunted her? His words almost seemed as if he did but how did he look past her shell to see it mocking her, perhaps he had heard her snap at the invisible being that shadowed her every move.
"It has been with me for too long to remember when it approached," the demoness replied, "how do you fight a creature that is no element but the air itself, the wind that whispers and screams in the nights?"
Did he hold the key for her to retrace the steps and undo her darkness.
Or is it forever with me?
Ross watched her ebony movements as she spoke. "Ignore it, it's what I did." He replied, winding himself around Fiacre, trying not to seem nervous. "Please try, if not for me, for you." He urged, touching his nose to the top of his head for a moment. "I want to get to know he real you." The Johta told her, his gaze softened. "I see much more potential in you than that voice does. It's only something there, reminding you that you did something wrong and you can't controlled. Telling you, that, that you are a monster." He stared at the ground, pain and a flash of insanity flashing in there, his blunt claws in the ground as memories flashed passed.
Ignoring it, so simple, a method she never thought of. He had the voice, he had fought it off, but what was she without it? Solitude had ruined her, she knew so the moment the desire to kill set in but never seemed an issue after that until now. Beneath the voice, what was she, her personality was still there, would she still want to kill, would she finally understand the queer sense of joy? Questions buzzed through her head, each overlapping the first but then they all dropped.
You need me, it hissed in her lobes, I keep you sane.
Did she really need the voice, perhaps it was her security, without it would she be out of control. In the past is had restrained her from situations, kept her from becoming a corpse upon the ground. She had been alone then, but was she now? Something within Ross' tone when he spoke told her otherwise. Belonging, a thought she had long given up on arose.
"I fear I am just that," Fiacre spoke glancing over at the spot where she thought the being stood. "Stripped of the voice I am a walking ghost, causing destruction with no real reason to move on or stay. A wandering soul that has been left to decay for seasons, is what lies beneath the surface."
She could almost feel his pain as he looked down at the ground, the agony of a flashback, something she never would understand. Her memories that arose of the dead often made her laugh and hum with glee as she rewatched the suffering, would anything differ without the voice.
"You were not a monster," Fiacre spoke. Her muzzle slipped beneath his maw and gently nudged it upward. "It is overpowering, taking over your every desire, the moment you accept it and it you the true self that you once were dies, becoming buried with a new layer of demands. The actions that you took were not you," Fiacre paused exhaling a soft hissing sigh, "the moment you fight against it is when you awoke from the nightmare."
Ross looked at her as she began to speak again. "No, Fiacre. You are not a monster. You're just confused." He said, pressing himself into Fiacre once more, hoping she'd stay put. "Please, Fiacre. I-I need you..." He admitted quietly, closing his eyes and clenching his teeth. He may as well prepare for the worst, why would Fia feel the same way? He knew he didn't look appealing, nor was his personality. Besides, he knew all to well she could do better than him. He dug his face into his shoulder, trying to conceal his crooked jaw. "Who am I kidding?" He asked himself quietly, his breath slightly ruffling Fia's ebony fur.
Within her chest, the demoness felt her heart pound loudly, each beat pulsing in her lobes as she heard his words. It almost seemed her heart had quickened, breaking into a light jog. She felt him shift, as if trying to hide himself within her fur. Allowing herself to press closer to him, she closed her eyes enjoying the sound of his vocals.
"I need you," she whispered back, burrowing her muzzle into his fur once more. "Ross, please don't let me go."
I fear my heart would break without you, she added in her thoughts silently.
She never felt so dependant upon anyone, it almost seemed like her one reason of staying was him this entire time. Would he repel from her? Laugh and make a mockery, claiming he has tricked her. All she could do was hope.
Falling a little fast, a voice inquired.
Perhaps, she replied silently, but she did not care for the consequences, as long as he was there a little longer.
Ross sighed in relief at Fiacre's words. "I won't, I promise." He breathed, enjoying Fiacre's gentle touch against him. Should he really trust that what she said was true? Somehow, he knew he could. Ross would ask the question, eventually, he needed to be sure Fiacre really did need him. He sat dowb, but still kept himself close to Fia as he relaxed. "I'll always be there for you." He murmured.

Cambodian Psychiatrists to Foreign Environmental Activists in Bali Win Asia's version of the 'Nobel Prize'

Four people were awarded the Ramon Magsaysay Prize this year, which is considered Asia's version of the Nobel Prize.
The annual award is named after the president of the Philippines who was killed in a plane crash in 1957. The award is given to honor "great zeal in selfless service to the people of Asia."
This year's laureates include Cambodian Sotheara Chhim, who has led the care of thousands of survivors of the Khmer Rouge rule and other patients in her country since becoming executive director of the Transcultural Psychosocial Organization in 2002, the award's foundation said.

As a child, he was forced to work in Khmer Rouge camps for more than three years until their rule ended in 1979.
He became one of Cambodia's first psychiatrists after years of war, according to the Ramon Magsaysay foundation.
Meanwhile, Japanese ophthalmologist Tadashi Hattori was awarded the prize for training local doctors who treat thousands of Vietnamese.
He decided to become a doctor when he was 15 years old, when he witnessed the harsh treatment his father, who had cancer, received at the hospital.

During a visit to Vietnam's capital, Hanoi, in 2002, he was "deeply moved" when he saw how villagers were being blinded due to a lack of eye specialists and medical facilities. He then raised funds, trained experts and donated equipment to local hospitals, the foundation said.
The next one is Gary Benchegib from France. He was awarded the award for his efforts to fight plastic pollution on the island of Bali, where his parents moved several years ago. He started his 'war' when he discovered that the clogging of waterways by plastic waste was such a cause for concern.
Since then, he has produced videos on plastic pollution and environmental protection, including a documentary on pollution in the Citarum River, West Java, in 2017.
"I hope that everyone here now will join me, in a modest way, in the journey of a lifetime to fight plastic pollution. I never thought I would be a scavenger. But here I am, proudly cleaning river after river in a mission to create a plastic-free world," he said.
He and his brother then led the installation of some 170 garbage traps in polluted rivers and plans to install hundreds more in Bali and Java.
Finally, a Filipino pediatrician, Bernadette Madrid, was also awarded the Ramon Magsaysay award for her efforts to lead the country's first child protection center at the Philippine General Hospital in Manila.
It attracts attention by providing treatment, raising awareness and engaging policy makers and community groups to tackle the problem.
Madrid won the award for its "leadership in executing multi-sectoral and multi-disciplinary efforts in child protection, efforts which are admired in Asia. Also for his competence and compassion in dedicating himself to ensuring that every child victim of abuse can live in an environment that is healing, safe and nurturing," the foundation said. [rd/ka]

We were lucky enough to visit the Keukenhof Gardens near Amsterdam this weekend – something I've wanted to do for quite a while. The pictures you see of magnificent gardens in bloom, surrounded by rows and rows of colourful tulips ….. I'd been looking forward to it for months.
Sadly, all the cold weather we've been experiencing meant the only tulips that were really in bloom were indoors.
But at least we found some garden sculpture to play with!

Making Money While Being A Full-Time Mom: Unique Ideas You Need To See!
It's a tough decision for moms when deciding whether they should return to work. As much as the income is essential to pay the bills, it can be more costly to have to pay for childcare for your kid! Also, your kid needs you when they are ill, and it's hard to keep taking time off work! Therefore, a lot of moms are staying at home and finding flexible work to earn some money. Here are some unique ideas you need to see to make money while being a full-time mom.
One unique idea you need to see to make money while being a full-time mom is you could become a mystery shopper. You get to go into various shops and restaurants and report back on your experience. You will be posing as a shopper and will have to check out products and review the service you receive. You can often go along with your kids, and there is no strict schedule. Remember to keep your composure and act normal, so they don't know you are a mystery shopper!
Another unique idea you need to see to make money while being a full-time mom is you could fill out surveys online. You will find many websites where you can join and give your opinion on different services. It allows sites to get vital market research from their target audience. You need to make sure they won't give out your personal information after, so you don't receive unwanted calls and letters! You need to go to well-known sites such as MySurvey and Swagbucks. You can check this out to find out which survey website is right for you to join.
An additional unique idea you need to see to make money while being a full-time mom is you could become a blog writer. You can set up your own online blog where you get to write about your thoughts. You can make money from your blog by having sponsored advertisers and affiliate commissions. As well as having your own blog, you could also write for other blogs. A lot of bloggers will pay out for you to write a blog for them to save them time thinking of ideas. It's a great way to earn some extra cash when you are a mom.
Another unique idea you need to see to make money while being a full-time mom is you could make crafts and sell them online. It's so easy to make an account on Ebay or Etsy and start selling items you have made. As they will be unique items, you are likely to get interest in your items. You could also ask bloggers to review your items. Send them a free sample, or you can pay them a small amount, to write about your product. They will build up interest in your items.
Hopefully, these unique ideas will help you to raise some cash while being a full-time mom!


So if you've been following my blog/work/etc for awhile then you know I have a little obsession for peach orchards and southern style. Last summer I styled and shot (along with some INCREDIBLE vendors) my ultimate dream shoot about this time last year in the middle of a peach orchard ...one of my favorite things about my town. Well, this weekend begins our towns Peach Festival and it's also the middle of peach season so I worked with my friend Samantha who owns this brand new super gorgeous all white barn Kindred Barn to put together a little mini-inspiration southern peach style shoot to pay homage to last year's shoot and to show off her beautiful venue. I have an obsession with pink wedding dresses (or really just any fun colored wedding dress...kind of been dreaming of an icy blue pretty one too lately) so I just had to do a shoot with a pink dress again. Along with Samantha being so kind to let me shoot in her new venue but she had her baker friend Wild Flour Sweet Shop create a gorgeous cake and macrons. Aly was our stunning model and looked like an actual princess her this Morelee gown from Danielle's Bridal. So in love. Of course last but not least...Clarksville Florist my number ones in River Valley creating stunning florals to compliment the pink wedding gown. Everything looked like the most perfect romantic southern style wedding dream I had hoped it would.

Biografia

Infanzia
Sin da piccolo iniziò a frequentare Villa Isnard, e fu avviato agli studio dai coniugi Bianchi-Isnard, i quali videro in lui il figlio che non avevano mai avuto.
Manifestò subito la sua predilezione per la meccanica, tanto che già alle scuole elementari costruì un perfetto modello di locomotiva che per tanti anni rimase esposto nel piccolo museo scolastico.

Nel 1907 terminò gli studì presso l'Istituto tecnico "F. Carrara" di Lucca.
Il periodo della scuola fu anche quello in cui Cei si dedicò allo sport con passione ottenendo ottimi risultati.
Sotto la guida di Beppe Nadi di Livorno, Cei vinse il Concorso Internazionale di Scherma tenutosi a Milano nel 1908, nella disciplina della sciabola.

La passione per il volo
Negli ultimi mesi del 1909 Cei fu a Parigi, centro mondiale del volo, lo sport del momento. Durante la sua permanenza in Francia, Giuseppe Cei frequentò a Parigi la Scuola superiore di costruzione meccanica e di aeronautica del Comandante Roche, tanto che presto gli fu attribuito il titolo di ingegnere. Nello stesso periodo iniziò a volare soprattutto nel campo di aviazione di Issy les Moulineaux. Avrebbe potuto conseguire il brevetto già nei primi mesi del 1910 ma fu costretto a rinviare più volte la prova di conseguimento della licenza di pilota a causa dell'inagibilità del campo conseguente alle abbondanti piogge di quel periodo.

Nell'agosto 1910 fu iscritto alla prima scuola di aviazione italiana presso Pordenone, "La Comina".
Il 1º gennaio 1911 conseguì il brevetto dell'Aeroclub a Parigi, dove nel frattempo era tornato dopo l'esperienza friulana. La sua licenza di volo era la n° 35 Bis.

Volò nei cieli di Parigi ad un'altezza di circa 1800 metri, con il suo biplano "Farman". Riuscì a stupire i parigini volando a spirale intorno alla Torre Eiffel, atterrando con un "vol planè" a motore spento. Si racconta che il Presidente francese Armand Fallières lo abbia definito "Le roi de l'air", stupito dopo averlo visto passare con il suo Farman sotto i ponti della Senna.

La morte
Morì il 28 marzo 1911 durante un volo in condizioni meteorologiche sfavorevoli schiantandosi col suo biplano Caudron presso l'isola di Rothschild a Puteaux, ufficialmente per una rottura dei comandi di profondità, anche se alcuni sostennero teorie complottistiche finora mai validate.

Il Cei spiccò il volo da Issy-les-Moulineaux ed era diretto alle officine Ratmanoff a Suresnes, per procurarsi un'elica di ricambio.

Trasportato all'ospedale Beaujon a Clichy, spirò alle ore 21:10 dello stesso giorno. I francesi proclamarono lutto cittadino e il suo feretro sfilò con un lungo corteo per le strade di Parigi, prima di essere caricato su un treno che lo riportò in Italia.
Giuseppe Cei riposa nella cappella di famiglia nel cimitero della sua città natale, Cascina, cittadina in provincia di Pisa, che gli ha dedicato anche una via.

Q: TDengine Want to Use Multiple Path for Storing Data I am thinking about using different path when storing databases, and noticed the following config in TDengine's config file.
# data file's directory
# dataDir                   /var/lib/taos

Is it possible to set multiple dataDir and letting TDengine store files in several paths?

A: Actually, TDengine support multi-tier storage system, which you can store in different path(files) and set different tiers. However, it only support in the TDengine Enterprise Edition, which is a paid version.

BestCities Joins the Fight Against Diabetes
When the South African city of Cape Town hosted the 19th World Diabetes Congress in 2006, it became the first of three BestCities destinations to host this world-acclaimed medical meeting over a seven year period.
Dubai is next to host the Congress, as it goes biennial for the first time, from 4-8 December 2011, followed by Melbourne, Australia in 2013. As partners in the BestCities Global Alliance, all three cities are committed to deliver the highest levels of service; expertise and quality standards which comply with BestCities' internationally recognised Quality Management System.
This guarantee of best practices greatly benefited the International Diabetes Foundation (IDF) which has run the World Diabetes Congress since 1952. It is now one of the world's largest health-related congresses, attracting over 12,000 delegates, including international researchers, medical practitioners and government policy experts, from more than 160 countries.
The IDF, which represents more than 200 national diabetes associations around the world, selects a different congress location every two years. Its seven key regions are Africa, Europe, Middle East and North Africa, North America, Southeast Asia, South and Central America and Western Pacific.
The 21st World Diabetes Congress, which is being held in Dubai this year, is the first to be organised in the Middle East and North Africa Region and, in an interview posted on the Congress website, IDF President, Professor Jean Claude Mbanya, explains why the second largest city in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) was selected.
"Whilst the significance of diabetes to the UAE, the Gulf region and the Middle East and North African Region was the main reason Dubai was chosen to host the 2011 Congress, the city also had to accommodate the needs of more than 12,500 delegates," Professor Mbanya said.
"Dubai meets the IDF's requirements for a host city including safe, low-cost public transport and excellent international access, together with a range of accommodation facilities to suit all budgets."
"The World Diabetes Congress is an important event to any destination that has the honour of hosting it," said Jerad Bachar, Director of the Dubai Convention Bureau. "This Congress is a great example of how BestCities can continue to position all members for future bid success. By working together we can support each other to secure more business for our cities while enhancing our services and products for our customers."
For Melbourne, winning the 22nd World Diabetes Congress for 2013 was a major coup as it is one of the largest medical business events ever secured for the city and will contribute more than US66.4million dollars to their state's economy.
The Melbourne Convention + Visitors Bureau's CEO, Karen Bolinger, attributes Melbourne's successful bid to the city's reputation for, and expertise in, hosting major medical and science business events, the capabilities of the city's award-winning 5,000+ seat Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre and support from industry partners and the State Government in hosting the Congress.
"As members of the BestCities Global Alliance, we were also able to speak with fellow partners, Cape Town and Dubai, who had both successfully bid for this Congress previously," said Bolinger. "The knowledge they shared with us, including operational and staging information, greatly assisted us in preparing a creative, and ultimately, winning bid proposal."
When more than 12,600 people and 400 speakers attended the 19th World Diabetes Congress in Cape Town in 2006, it was the largest conference ever held in Africa, and the first diabetes meeting of this magnitude to be organised outside Europe. By raising awareness in Africa and uniting the diabetes community, it paved the way for the Congress to grow and move internationally to meet the demand of what has become one of the most challenging health problems of the 21st century.
BestCities Global Alliance Managing Director, Jane Vong Holmes said: "The IDF has successfully achieved continuity with the World Diabetes Congress by both managing the congress in-house and choosing three BestCities destinations to host their meeting."
"The requirements of a conference this size are complex, however in the sixty years the Congress has been running there has been a lot of history gathered by the IDF, the bureaux and the venues," said Vong Holmes. "The unique knowledge exchange programme undertaken by BestCities partners meant that Cape Town, Dubai and Melbourne could share information and event research to assist them in preparing their individual bid proposals.
"The recent addition to the Alliance of preliminary members, Berlin and Houston, will further enrich the BestCities geographical network and provide even more exciting and diverse options for large conferences, such as the World Diabetes Congress, to take advantage of BestCities' unique destinations and benefits."

Ryan Reynolds loves his three children more than anything. Now he reveals that he is happy to have three daughters. Or is he sometimes lacking a little male support at home?
Ryan Reynolds, 45, and Blake Lively, 34, are the dream couple. Their three daughters, Inez, James and Betty make the family perfect. But the "Deadpool" star is pretty outnumbered – he's the only man in the house. But he doesn't seem to have any problem with that. But on the contrary. He is happy to be the father of three girls.
Ryan Reynolds: He's happy with his three daughters
"I don't want it any other way. We love to have our girls," he says in an interview with Access. That probably has to do with his own childhood. "I grew up with boys and was regularly thrown against the walls," reveals the 45-year-old. "When we got our youngest, I was afraid it was going to be a boy because we didn't know what it was going to be," said Ryan, who seems quite happy with his family situation.

A little break in front of the camera
In order not to miss anything, Ryan Reynolds now wants to be more there for his children and has therefore announced a little break from acting. "My children are growing up faster than space and time would suggest, so I want to be there," reveals the Hollywood star. But his fans don't have to be disappointed: Tomorrow (November 12, 2021) the film "Red Notice" starts on Netflix, in which Ryan also plays a leading role.

Twitter prepares for huge cull of inactive users
Twitter will begin deleting accounts that have been inactive for more than six months, unless they log in before an 11 December deadline.
The cull will include users who stopped posting to the site because they died - unless someone with that person's account details is able to log-in.
It is the first time Twitter has removed inactive accounts on such a large scale.
The site said it was because users who do not log-in were unable to agree to its updated privacy policies.
A spokeswoman also said it would improve credibility by removing dormant accounts from people's follower counts, something which may give a user an undue sense of importance. The first batch of deleted accounts will involve those registered outside of the US.
The firm bases inactivity on whether or not a person has logged in at least once in the past six months. Twitter said the effort is not, as had been suggested by some users on the network, an attempt to free up usernames.
That said, previously unavailable usernames will start coming up for grabs after the 11 December cut-off - though Twitter said it would be a gradual process, beginning with users outside of the US.
In future, the firm said it would also look at accounts where people have logged in but don't "do anything" on the platform. A spokeswoman would not elaborate, other to say that the firm uses many signals to determine genuine human users - not just whether they interact with, or post, tweets.
Emailed warning
The site has sent out emails to users of accounts that will be affected by the deletions. The firm would not say how many current accounts fit the criteria, although it is expected to be in the many millions. It will send out more notice closures closer to the deadline.
The cull will not affect Twitter's reported user numbers, as the firm bases its usage level only on users who log-in at least once a day. According to its latest earnings report, from September, Twitter has 145m "monetisable" daily active users (users who come into contact with Twitter's advertising on a daily basis).
"As part of our commitment to serve the public conversation, we're working to clean up inactive accounts to present more accurate, credible information people can trust across Twitter," the firm said about the upcoming account removals.
"Part of this effort is encouraging people to actively log-in and use Twitter when they register an account, as stated in our inactive accounts policy."
It means users who have died will have their accounts removed unless a loved one or other person is already in possession of their log-in details, and is able to sign in and accept Twitter's latest privacy policy.
Twitter's current policy offers only deactivation of a dead person's account once a trusted third-party - a parent, for example - has proven their identity. However, the policy states that in no circumstances would Twitter grant access to the account, which would prevent deletion.
The firm does not, unlike Facebook, offer a "memorialisation" option that freezes the account in place and disallows new interactions - a measure to prevent abuse.
Since inactivity is based on logging in, not posting, bot accounts - such as those which automatically tweet news or alerts - would also come under the cull if the account owners do not log-in before the December deadline. So too would accounts set up specifically as an archive, such as @POTUS44, a collection of all the tweets made by President Barack Obama while in office.

Cultivating Equity in Linguistically Diverse Settings: the Promise of Response to Intervention by Nonie Lesaux (In honor of Janette Klingner)
Viewed by: 8632 people	 Comments (1) Category: Discussions, Nonie Lesaux
Nonie K. Lesaux is the Thompson Professor of Education and Society at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and leads a research program guided by the goal of increasing opportunities to learn for students from diverse linguistic, cultural, and economic backgrounds. Lesaux's research and teaching focus primarily on the cognitive and linguistic factors that enable children and adolescents to read effectively. Her research has included longitudinal studies investigating reading and language development among English language learners as well as experimental evaluations of academic vocabulary instruction. She is currently a Principal Investigator of a longitudinal study investigating the interrelated dimensions of linguistically diverse children's cognitive, socio-emotional, and literacy development. Her research on reading development and instruction, and her work focused on using data to prevent reading difficulties, informs setting-level interventions, as well as public policy at the national and state level. The practical applications of this work are featured in several publications written for education leaders and practitioners, including one book and one widely circulated state-level literacy report, the latter of which forms the basis for a Third Grade Reading Proficiency bill passed in the state's House of Representatives. Lesaux's scholarship has resulted in two prestigious early career awards—the William T. Grant Foundation Faculty Scholars Award and a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers from the U.S. Government.
It was inevitable that Janette and I would cross paths, as two scholars deeply committed to increasing opportunities-to-learn for children whose home language(s) include languages other than English–a population of children commonly referred to as English learners (ELs). But I was even luckier than that. I had the privilege of collaborating with Janette on some key projects. Most recently, our work together revolved around an instructional approach that holds great promise for improving outcomes for culturally and linguistically diverse students and reducing their disproportionate representation in special education: The Response to Intervention (RtI) model. Together, Janette and I designed guidance, resources, and professional development modules to support educators as they shifted their instruction and assessment practices to fit this approach, using RtI as a platform for increasing learning outcomes for ELs. We first tried this out with a large group of educator teams in the New York City schools and then wrote up some of this work for wider dissemination. I hold these memories dear, and am still engaged in initiatives to support the implementation of RtI in linguistically diverse settings, continuing to cultivate the progress toward equity that Janette championed.
Here, I describe the RtI model and how it holds promise as a way to provide ELs with high-quality, appropriate instruction. I draw on what I've learned from Janette, the work we engaged in together, and my continued reflections about the ways in which RtI can help us improve the match between school practices and the needs and strengths of today's large and growing population of linguistically diverse students. Many of the ideas featured here are described in more detail in a chapter Janette and I, along with our colleague Lucinda Soltero-González, wrote together for Lipson and Wixson's book, Successful Approaches to RTI.
What is Response to Intervention (RtI)?
The RtI model takes a systematic approach to determining whether ELs who are struggling and in need of special education services have difficulties well beyond those involved in second language learning and/or opportunities-to-learn. This is especially important in the context of a discussion about equity; to the dismay of many, myself included, too many of today's ELs are inappropriately referred for and placed in special education due to inadequate opportunities to learn.
The RtI model is a tiered system of instruction and assessment; within this system, students are provided with increasingly intensive, targeted instruction designed to match their learning needs, as demonstrated in ongoing, assessments—assessments designed for and validated with the student population served. Central components of the Rti Model include:
High quality, targeted learning opportunities
Daily classroom instruction (i.e., core instruction, or Tier 1), driven by patterns in students' learning profiles, to ensure a match between daily teaching, learning and the students in the classroom
Supplemental, intensive interventions driven by individual student needs (i.e., Tiers 2 and 3)
Data-based decision-making about students' needs and growth
Screening, progress monitoring, and formative assessment practices are central to its efficacy and implementation
Because this instructional model is organized around preventing learning difficulties and timely intervention, students are referred for special education assessment and services only when they demonstrate insufficient progress over time despite targeted, high-quality, classroom-level instruction and additional supplemental supports; such progress is measured against established, culturally and linguistically appropriate, outside benchmarks.
How can we use the RtI model as a platform for promoting equity, increasing learning outcomes for ELs?
The RtI model is a particularly culturally and linguistically responsive practice; after all, responsiveness is at its core. First and foremost, to be "high-quality," irrespective of the tier or location, when RtI is implemented as designed, all ELs' learning opportunities are:
provided by educators who are knowledgeable about the second language process and how learning to read in English as a second or additional language is similar to and different from learning to read in English as one's first language;
situated in positive and developmentally sensitive learning environments where cultural and linguistic diversity are upheld as assets;
characterized by instructional approaches known to be effective with similar students in similar contexts—they match the students' or student's learning strengths and challenges.
In turn, there are two important, positive consequences of RtI implementation:
Assessment is closely linked to instruction.
Assessment results steer practice, letting us know how we might better tighten the link between the learning profiles of students in our classroom or school and what we offer by way of learning opportunities. Specifically, data is used to:
inform decisions about daily instructional content and supports for all learners, based on trends and patterns in classrooms and grade levels (Tier 1);
identify those learners who are in need of supplemental supports (Tier 2);
determine which students need even more individualized and intensive supports to address their significant and persistent difficulties (Tier 3).
An emphasis is placed on school contexts and the quality of instruction. Within the RtI model:
we bear in mind that students' development, their learning environments, and daily opportunities to learn are inextricably linked, combating even implicit beliefs that disparities in outcomes can be explained by deficits present in an individual learner or a group of learners.
In summary, when fully and effectively implemented, the RTI model is designed to determine whether students are benefiting from an instructional program; build more effective instructional programs for students who are not benefiting; compare the efficacy of different forms of instruction; and design more effective, individualized instructional programs. My work with Janette, and my ongoing work with school and district leaders, push me to continually problem solve around the implementation of RtI in the linguistically diverse setting. It is through her example that I continue to facilitate and encourage action-oriented conversations about classroom- and school-level models of prevention to meet the needs of today's diverse populations of learners.

One Response to "Cultivating Equity in Linguistically Diverse Settings: the Promise of Response to Intervention by Nonie Lesaux (In honor of Janette Klingner)"
Debbie Zacarian on 12/4/14 5:53 PM US/Eastern
Thank you for this beautiful tribute to Janette Klingner and information about the promise of using RtI with English Learners. I had the honor of Janette reading and providing feedback on a book manuscript I wrote about how schools can be transformed when leaders take into account English learners. Janette was an amazing scholar and supporter. Your collaboration with Janette and scholarship brings much to us all. Many thanks!

There may be certain times when instead of wanting to know the word count of your own writing, you'd like to know a website's word count. That is, you'd like to know the word count for a website without having to actually count all the words on the page by hand. Website Word Count is a tool which will do exactly that for you. It's a website word counter created specifically so you can find out the number of words on any page on the Internet. All you need to know is the URL of a web page, place it into the tool, and you can find out exactly how many words are on that page by hitting the "count" button. The tool will count the words on the website's page and instantly provide that number to you.
Even better, this website word counter will also provide you with a list of the keywords used on the page you request. Not only will you know how many word are written on the page, you'll also know the most common words used on the page. The keyword density list is broken down into two parts. On the left, the tool displays a list of the most common words used on the page entered. The list on the right documents the keyword density of the page excluding all commonly used words (this gives a better indication of what the main topic of the page happens to be, and the keywords used for that topic).
There are a number of ways this information might be valuable. Translators often want to know the number of words on a web page because it's common for them to charge clients by the number of words on the page they are translating, and not necessarily the number of words they write in the translated language or by the time they spend on it. For this reason, being able to quickly determine the word count of a page is important.
A reader may simply be curious to know how many words are on the pages of certain writers or bloggers they follow. A writer may also covet this information if they want to style their writing after another blogger or writer they admire. This information may be able to help them better build a website or blog they desire.
This tool can also be used to check the pages of your own website or blog. When you know which pages are the most popular on your own site, you can enter their URLs to see what number of words seems to perform best with the topics you write about. This can help you write content in the future that also brings more readers to see your writing.
It can also be of great help for those who write articles for websites and bloggers. For example, for those interested in SEO, they will be able to see the word count and keyword density for popular pages on the Internet on any topic about which they may be writing. This information can give them hints on how to better rank their own writing on that particular topic.
No matter the reason you decide to use this counter, it should provide you with valuable information you can use to better your writing in addition to the overall content for the blogs and websites for which you write. We are always looking to improve the counters we provide. If you have suggestions you feel would make this tool better, please use the "contact us" link at the top of this page to give us your suggestions.

Q: Custom shared library cannot be found even when search path defined I have the following files:
.
├── combinatorics
│   ├── permutation.cpp
│   └── permutation.h
├── main.cpp
└── math
    ├── basic.cpp
    └── basic.h

and am trying to create a shared library by doing these steps:
g++ -c -Wall -std=c++14 -fpic combinatorics/permutation.cpp -o permutations.o
g++ -c -Wall -std=c++14 -fpic math/basic.cpp -o mathbasic.o
g++ -shared -o combmath.so permutations.o mathbasic.o
g++ -Wall -std=c++14 main.cpp  -L. -o output -lcombmath

but I am getting the following message:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcombmath
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

what am I doing wrong?

A: The linkage option -lfoo directs the linker to search for a file
libfoo.so (shared library) or libfoo.a (static library) in the specified
linker search directories (-L/x/y/z) and then in the linker's default
search directories, stopping when it finds either one of those files and
preferring libfoo.so if it finds both in the same directory.
For your linkage:
g++ -Wall -std=c++14 main.cpp  -L. -o output -lcombmath

to succeed, therefore, you need previously to have built libcombmath.so
in the same directory with the command:
g++ -shared -o libcombmath.so permutations.o mathbasic.o

and not built combmath.so, as you have done with the command:
g++ -shared -o combmath.so permutations.o mathbasic.o

In Acts 6, the first deacons were selected for the church. That first group of men had a very important responsibility – serving. The early church picked men, full of the Holy Spirit, to ensure that needs were being met within the church.
Northside uses deacons in the same regard. Though they may not distribute food as the first deacons did, they still serve. Every person who is a member of Northside participates in the "deacon family ministry." Simply put, this is a ministry that ensures that every member has someone to call on during a time of need, that every person has someone praying for them and with them, and that ensures that our ministry staff can fulfill their biblical responsibilities of preaching, leading, and praying.

Tom Jones Tribute USA – Steve McCoy
Sir Thomas John Woodward OBE (born 7 June 1940), also known by his stage name Tom Jones, is a Welsh singer. His career has spanned six decades, from his emergence as a vocalist in the mid-1960s with a string of top hits, regular touring, appearances in Las Vegas (1967–2011) and career comebacks—to coaching on The Voice UK from 2012 (with the exception of 2016). Jones's powerful voice has been described as a "full-throated, robust baritone".
His performing range has included pop, rock, R&B, show tunes, country, dance, soul and gospel. In 2008, the New York Times called Jones a musical "shape shifter", who could "slide from soulful rasp to pop croon, with a voice as husky as it was pretty". Jones has sold over 100 million records with thirty-six Top 40 hits in the United Kingdom and nineteen in the United States, including "It's Not Unusual", "What's New Pussycat", "Delilah", "Green, Green Grass of Home", "She's a Lady", "Kiss" and "Sex Bomb".
Jones received a Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 1966, an MTV Video Music Award in 1989 and two Brit Awards: Best British Male in 2000 and the Outstanding Contribution to Music award in 2003. Jones was awarded an OBE in 1999 and in 2006 he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for services to music. (Wikipedia).

Marshall County woman's family still looking for justice 5 years after her murder
By Stephen McLamb | March 20, 2019 at 5:49 PM CDT - Updated March 20 at 6:04 PM
ALBERTVILLE, AL (WAFF) - It's been five years since the death of Jennifer Hinote.
Her body was found behind a car dealership in Albertville.
[ Body found behind car lot identified as missing woman ]
Now, her mother wants justice and sheriff's officials believe someone out there can help bring this cold case to an arrest.
The case was originally listed as a death investigation.
Now, Sheriff Phil Sims says it's murder and the goal is to make an arrest.
"It's been a long five years. We haven't learned a whole lot about what happened. We would just like to know more," said Hinote's mother, Mary Beth Parker.
Parker says her daughter would light up any room she walked into but that ended in January 2014 when her body was found behind the Nissan dealership in Albertville.
She went missing about a month earlier and family members say they've learned little since then.
"Sometimes in cases like this we get to a stopping point where there may be a piece of information out there that we need that we're not able, we don't know about, we haven't obtained yet," said Sims.
With a new sheriff there's a renewed effort to try to solve this cold case and Sims believes someone out there knows something that can help solve this case.
"Please come forward. I mean this could happen to anybody. It happened to me. It was horrible but it could happen to you. You would want someone to come forward. We want justice for Jennifer," said Parker.
If anyone has any information about this case you're asked to contact the Marshall County Sheriff's Office.

Stephen spent nearly five years at WVLT in Knoxville, Tennessee but before that spent nearly a decade of covering news for WAKA in Selma, near his hometown of Demopolis. Getting the call to come to the Huntsville area was welcome news, not only for a great career opportunity, but a chance to get closer to home.

WATCH: Georgia football coach Kirby Smart unravels defensive front seven 'committee'
Georgia linebacker Monty Rice (32) and Juwan Taylor (44) are first and third on the team in tackles, respectively.
Andy Harrison/UGA
ATHENS — Georgia football coach Kirby Smart means it when he says there's ongoing competition for playing time within his team, even three games into the season.
While many turn their attention to the ever-popular quarterback position, the linebacking corps is neck and neck and there's a revolving door on the defensive line.
The Bulldogs' talented secondary seems relatively set, but Smart has called his defensive front seven a "committee,' and he has yet to start the same combination in the first three games.
"Y'all keep trying to make it be more than it is, it's just four or five guys who are in the same area and if we can have fresh guys out there and they play well, we're going to do it," Smart said this week, asked if he was settling into a fixed rotation at linebacker. If one of them is not playing to the standard, they won't do it."
The No. 2-ranked Bulldogs (3-0) figure to get plenty of work at Missouri (3-0) in the teams' noon game (EDT) in Columbia (TV: ESPN, RADIO: WSB 95.5 FM, 750 AM).
The Tigers feature the SEC's top passer, Drew Lock, and a revamped pro-style offense operated by coordinator Derek Dooley.
Georgia's linebacking committee will see their share of runs and passes, with defensive coordinator Mel Tucker substituting accordingly.
RELATED: Georgia football defense looks to make Drew Lock 'uncomfortable'
"There's four guys who've played consistently' if there was a dominant player, he'd play more," Smart said, elaborating on the linebacking corps.
"Juwan [Taylor] is the guy who has probably been playing the most, Natrez [Patrick] is playing more and more, trying to bring Channing [Tindall] along. Monty [Rice] played good last game," he said. ".Tae [Crowder} has got to continue to improve and help us. Those guys are by-committee, that's what they are."
Talented freshman outside linebacker Brenton Cox remains a part of the discussion and could figure more heavily into the rotation as the season progresses.
"Brenton has grown and progressed, probably hasn't shown up in games as much as he has in practice," Smart said. "He hasn't had many opportunities to get out there and flash and do what I think he can do. He's played really hard. He's played physical. He's very contentious about his assignments and learning those.
"Brenton has just to continue to grow up and mature. I'm hoping a lot of these freshmen, we've played three games now, will start to have a little confidence where they get over the butterflies and anxiety so they can go play."
RELATED: Georgia football coach Kirby Smart addresses sack shortage
Smart said the defensive line rotation runs "seven, eight guys" deep, even though Jonathan Ledbetter, Tyler Clark and Julian Rochester have been the starting trio two of three games.
"David Marshall, Michael Barnett, Michail Carter, DaQuan [Hawkins-Muckle], Malik Herring, it's all of them," Smart said. "They all play. They all have a role. Again, I think playing a lot of players is good for morale.
"I think playing a lot of players keeps you fresh as long as they're playing good and one guy isn't outplaying the other guy."
Freshman defensive lineman Jordan Davis is a player Smart said he hopes can find a bigger role.
"He's one of those players we feel like is getting better and if he can continue to get better and grow and go against Lamont [Gaillard] every day, and work on the scout team and develop, that before this year's over, he can contribute," Smart said, "or if somebody gets hurt, he can play. We're certainly approaching it like he can help us."

Cubavera's signature look comes from the guayabera, the casual 4-pocket tropical linen shirt suitably elegant for formal occasions, while relaxed for everyday comfort and functionality. The guayabera is a sartorial symbol of Cuban ingenuity, a unique ability to resolve — to create wonderfully improvised solutions and make it look easy.
Cubavera guayabera's designed by Cuban artist Oscar Matienzo.
