The Incredible Adventures of Milo and Luna - Princess of Light

Daniele Sgrò

Summary

Luna and Milo are two children born and raised practically together, being neighbors. Both are 8 years old and live in a small village, not specifically located, Like every Friday, Luna and Milo go to the market to find some interesting objects at the stall of Mr. Ordius, a mysterious old man who says he wandered around the world in search of souvenirs and ancient objects, and which he now sells at the market to raise some money. The old man does not have a good reputation in the village, because he is said to be a scammer and that the items he sells are actually trinkets found somewhere. But Luna and Milo don't care: they love to listen to old Ordius as he talks about his wacky adventures and, at times, they even manage to get a small souvenir for a few pennies. One day Luna and Milo's attention is drawn to a strange golden toy, so they ask the old merchant for information. Oddly, Ordius says little or nothing about the toy and offers to give it to them, explaining that he will never be able to sell it. Milo and Luna then accept, delighted, although it seems that the trader is much happier having got rid of that object. The two children, returned to the driveway where their two houses overlook each other on the side of the road, play all day with the new toy and, arriving in the evening, decide to exchange the toy custody every other day. A brief game of paper-scissor-rock decrees that the first keeper of the toy is Milo, then the two children say goodbye and Milo returns home with the toy. That night, after placing the new toy on a shelf and going to sleep, Milo is woken with a start by a noise and a blinding light, discovers that the toy has come to life, and introduces himself to him and says he is from the future. , and to be there to give them a chance to save the Earth from destruction. Milo explains to the toy that he can't leave without Luna, so he decides to leave the house through the window and throw pebbles at Luna's bedroom window to wake her up. Milo explains to her what happened, the toy opens a portal to the future, where children are sucked in, to show them what the world will be like if they don't do something to save it. From here their adventures begin.

HowExpert Guide to Honey Bees &...

HowExpert, Emily Helton

HowExpert Guide to Honey Bees & Beekeeping is a great starter guide for those who are simply interested in honey bees or those who are interested in becoming beekeepers themselves. It describes the science of the honey bee itself, as well as the inner workings of each member and how they work together to survive.
The colony, as a whole, can be treated as its own organism because of how the honey bees work together to perform tasks as a social species. Beekeepers have been observing such behaviors for generations, and I would like to pass on the knowledge to others. The beekeeping portion of this guide provides a wealth of knowledge on how to start your own apiary.
Learn about all the equipment necessary for your operation, how to inspect your hives, what a beekeeper does throughout the year, a short guide to pests and diseases, bee-friendly plants, and how to extract honey and wax from your hives. All of this information can be found in this book. Just a warning, this hobby can cause one to become very passionate about one very small and fuzzy insect. It is not uncommon for a beekeeper to want to be constantly learning about honey bees.

From Within

Parabellum

In "From Within," Parabellum explores a future where humans transcend biological limitations through advanced medical technologies, nanobots, and brain implants. These enhancements allow people to live without illness, aging, or injury, and even communicate telepathically. Yet, these advancements divide society into factions with differing visions of humanity's future. Some pursue the creation of "perfect" humans, while others fear losing the essence of humanity. The power to alter DNA and design offspring with specific traits raises ethical dilemmas, challenging the natural order. As society splits into city-states, corporate territories, and virtual realms, governance becomes complex, with AI and collective decision-making shaping the world. "From Within" delves into the philosophical and ethical questions of identity, freedom, and responsibility in a world where scarcity and death are no longer constants. As humanity stands on the brink of even more incredible transformations, the struggle to define what it means to be "authentically human" continues, shaping the destiny of both enhanced and unchanged individuals. Amidst the tension and competition for resources, new philosophical and legal frameworks emerge, advocating for "morphological freedom"—the right to modify one's body. As traditional concepts like work, education, and family are redefined, humanity must navigate the challenges of this unprecedented era, seeking meaning and direction as they prepare for the next leap into the unknown.
