Researches in the United Kingdom have found a purr-fect way for you to communicate with your cat.A recent study published in the online journal Scientific Reports found that cats will appear friendlier and more approachable to humans who use slow-blinking, eye-narrowing facial expressions, which psychologists at the Universities of Portsmouth and Sussex referred to as a "cat smile."In their first experiment, 21 cats interacted with their owners. The psychologists' team found that the cats would slow-blink if their owners slow-blinked at them first, compared to a neutral expression.In its second experiment, 24 cats and a member of the research team interacted. The study found that if the experimenter slow-blinked at them first, they were more likely to approach their outstretched hand than if they had given the cat a neutral expression."Collectively, our results suggest that slow blink sequences may function as a form of positive emotional communication between cats and humans," the researchers said. 1022

RANCHO SANTA FE, Calif. (KGTV) - A Fairbanks Ranch home damaged in a fire was once listed on Airbnb as a ‘mega mansion’ for rent, multiple sources show. The home in the 6800 block of Spyglass Lane caught fire Sunday night and burned for two hours until the flames were knocked down. A cleaning crew was in the home but escaped without injury. A Zillow listing for the 20,000 square foot house indicated it was on sale for almost million. It was previously available for rent for ,500 per week.“Magnificent Venetian palace in chic guard-gated Del Rayo Estates in the exclusive enclave Rancho Santa Fe, minutes from the Golf Course, Del Mar Racetrack & Beach,” the listing on Zillow reads. “In the past, the property has generated 0,000 in income from short term rentals.” RELATED: Crews knock down Fairbanks Ranch mansion fireAlthough a previous Airbnb listing was removed by Monday, an article about the most expensive U.S. rentals on farandwide.com reported the home had been available for rent as of November 2018. There was no immediate word on whether the home had been rented Sunday. “This vast property in Rancho Santa Fe is 21,000 square feet, can accommodate up to 14 guests in seven bedrooms, and has an acceptable eight and a half bathrooms,” according to the article. Other amenities listed on Zillow included a bowling alley, yoga studio, wine cellar, elevator, guest house, 3,000 square foot kitchen, tennis court, and a pool with a waterfall. The cause of the fire remains under investigation. 1528

President Trump has signed the Music Modernization Act into law, a bill that will bring sweeping changes to the way music is licensed and songwriters are paid.Supporters say the Music Modernization Act, championed by Sen. Lamar Alexander (R-Tennessee), will ensure that songwriters get paid fairly for their work in the streaming age.  A key aspect of the legislation is the creation of a new independent entity that will license songs to companies that play music online. The group will then pay songwriters, while digital streaming services, like Spotify or Pandora, can ask for a blanket license. This is the first overhaul to music copyright law in decades. The law will also make sure artists who made music prior to 1972 are paid.Recording artists didn't have any copyright rights in their works until 1972. Kanye West, Kid Rock and John Rich are among artists expected to attend Thursday's ceremony at the White House.   965

Remember when we used to make plans? It was so long ago now you may not remember, but we actually used to start booking our holiday travel in the summer before prices rose to unaffordable levels. That’s right: We could predict what the world would be like months in advance back then.Times have certainly changed; now, some travelers are starting to wonder whether and how to plan for the holidays. Does it make sense to buy plane tickets? What about using points and miles? And what are the chances of a second (or is it third?) wave of the pandemic?I’ve spent the last few months wading through COVID-19 travel policies, spreadsheets full of airfare and hotel data and other boring industry effluvia so you don’t have to. And I’ve got a few nuggets of advice for anyone thinking about booking holiday travel.For starters: Why rush?Should I book now?Years of conditioning have taught us all the perils of waiting until the last minute. But if you haven’t noticed, this year is not like the others, and travel demand is unlikely to reach normal no matter what happens in the next few months.In other words: You shouldn’t feel any rush to book travel until you’re ready.In fact, you might end up paying more if you book in advance rather than closer to your travel dates. Recently, I analyzed a bunch of hotel price data and found that the cost of booking the same room dropped dramatically when booking 15 days in advance, compared to booking four months in advance.That is, the same rooms cost an average of 7 when booked within 15 days compared to 2 when booked four months in advance. And while this trend might not hold into the winter or through the holidays, it’s certainly a good indication that you’re unlikely to save money by booking hotel rooms now.The trend isn’t quite as dramatic for airfare, though it’s possibly more remarkable, since booking within 15 days has historically been a recipe for getting fleeced.Which airline should I fly?This one’s easier: Delta.We performed a big analysis of airline policies in response to COVID-19 and found that Delta had the best overall rating, with Southwest and Alaska hot on its heels.I won’t bore you with all the details here, but some of the factors we took into consideration include:Mask policy enforcement.Blocking seats and limiting capacity.Offering flexible change and cancellation policies.This last bit is especially important when booking holiday travel this year: Make sure the tickets you purchase can be changed or canceled without incurring a fee. This has gotten significantly easier with various COVID-19 waivers and four major airlines, including Delta, all announcing the elimination of most change fees. Be aware of restrictions that remain around basic economy fares.What about points and miles?Hotel points and airline miles can usually offer good workarounds for sky-high holiday prices. Notice that pesky “usually.” Since cash prices are so low, using points and miles is unlikely to offer better than average value this year.That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t use miles, just that you won’t get especially good bang for your buck from them right now.Will it be safe?That’s the trillion-dollar question, isn’t it? I’m no epidemiologist, so I’m reluctant to wade into these waters, but there is something important to keep in mind: Where are you planning to travel in December?The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation at the University of Washington offers public projections for the pandemic broken down by country and state. These reveal some pretty startlingly different scenarios for different parts of the country.For example, the daily per capita infection rate in California is projected to rise from 42.6 per 100,000 today to 155 per 100,000 by December. New York state in December is projected at 30 per 100,000, up from the current 4.4. Utah’s rate is expected to skyrocket to 179 per 100,000 from today’s 13.5.Of course, these are only projections, and nobody knows what will actually happen by December, but it’s good to keep in mind when planning travel. You don’t want to go from a relatively safe spot into a hot zone (or a hot zone into a safe spot, for that matter).In fact, for everyone’s sake, my personal take is that we should all err on the side of staying home.More From NerdWalletAnalysis: How Have Hotel Prices Changed in 2020 vs. 2019?How to Plan Holiday Travel for Maximum Flexibility in 2020Why Won’t the FAA Require Masks?Sam Kemmis is a writer at NerdWallet.
