Adventure enthusiast Edwin Hammond Meredith is skilled in several outdoor sports, including ice climbing, snowboarding, and surfing. Edwin Hammond Meredith also has a profound love of animals, especially horses, dogs, and ferrets.
Ferrets are sociable, domesticated animals that bond closely with their caretakers. However, before you adopt a ferret, you should consider the following information. - Laws: While owning a ferret is legal in 48 states (but not in California and Hawaii), some counties and municipalities prohibit ferrets as pets. Before you adopt a ferret, research the animal control codes that apply to your jurisdiction. - Behavior: While ferrets can have high energy, they also may spend up to 20 hours a day sleeping. Rather than being held, young ferrets prefer to explore on their own or play with other ferrets. Most ferrets slow down as they age, becoming lap pets in their later years. - Training: Ferrets are intelligent and curious creatures that require house-training. In addition, young ferrets, due to their poor eyesight, may nip if their space is invaded. However, this behavior can be adjusted through positive reinforcement.

Key Largo resident and professional chef Edwin Hammond Meredith has had a talent for cooking since childhood. While studying the culinary arts abroad, Edwin Hammond Meredith gained fluency in Japanese, a language ranked by the Foreign Service Institute (FSI) as one of the most difficult for native English speakers.
The FSI developed a five-category language difficulty ranking scale to estimate the number of study hours required for a native English speaker to achieve proficiency in a foreign language. The ranking is based on several factors, including grammar, similarities in script, and the frequency of cognates, which are words that have a similar meaning and pronunciation in both languages. Based on these areas, the easiest languages for native English speakers to learn include German, Norwegian, Dutch, and Latin-based languages such as French, Spanish, and Italian. On the other end of the spectrum are languages with character-based writing systems, such as Mandarin and Japanese, and languages from distinct language families, such as Finnish and Hungarian. |
