Rescue Dr, Peterson on Conservation Steve Irwin on Conservation Prince Toby by Ernest Hemingway How I See My Life Now A Man and His Dog Introduction This book grew out of an abiding interest in what happens to our beloved pets when they die. What better way to find out than to communicate with those who are actually on the other side of the veil with the animals. I have been deeply privileged as a trance medium to be the “telephone” to receive much enlightenment directly from the heaven world—from spirit teachers, former animal trainers, caretakers, and friends of companion animals. To share their many heart-warming stories in a book was the inspiration of my spirit teacher, Dr. Cranston. Great effort has been made to gather authentic information on the nature of life on the animal plane, and this is presented to the reader in the first section of the book. The second part contains actual unedited transcripts of trance sessions with those in Spirit who have a deep interest in animals. Some are stories about animals famous for their heroic acts or service; some for their movie roles; some for belonging to famous people; some for being popular with zoo visitors; and some for just being special in their own way. All spirit communicants were enthusiastic about relating their special tales (tails) of interest. Part Three highlights the work going on in the world’s largest care for life sanctuary. Dedication & Everlasting Love To Animals (D.E.L.T.A. Rescue) rescues dogs, cats and horses primarily and has an out-reach program to instruct others on rescue techniques. In Part Four we are treated to two entries by spirit conservationists, one of whom is the well-known Steve Irwin, dubbed the “Crocodile Hunter.” The last part of the book contains several literary contributions. Ernest Hemingway wrote a story about Toby, the cat. On earth he never wrote children’s stories or anything on cats, though he had some thirty cats over the years. Hopefully, by giving an understanding of the continuity of life of all God’s creatures, this will ease a broken heart when separation from the beloved one inevitably takes place. Truly, there is only a thin veil between us, and one day this veil will be drawn aside, and there will be a happy reunion with our beloved friends in coats of fur, leather, fins, scales, and feathers. Miriam Bostwick . Preface I am so pleased to have been invited to write a preface to this wonderful book. I sort of picked up that something was in the wind for a little time and that I possibly would be asked. I am very happy to be able to come in and talk to you about the animals. If you can use what I have to say I will be very, very honored. Yes, as a child, I was very, very interested in the welfare of the animals. We had pets and we took good care of them, and we loved them dearly. And so the story goes that I was walking along the streets of New York when I saw a man severely beating his horse, and the poor animal was very emaciated. You could tell that it was sick and trying to do its best. And so I talked to the man and I explained to him that that was not the way to treat an animal— especially an animal upon which his livelihood depended. He was not caring for it properly. He was not feeding it well. He certainly was beating it which was an awful thing—the poor helpless soul. It is a wonder that the animal just didn’t run away from him. It was probably so used to being beaten that it didn’t realize it had any other choice. And you know, I have met that man over on this side, and I have worked with him to help him see how wrong he was in hurting that poor soul. I went to spirit before the man came over, and that animal was waiting for him. Those who take care of animals made sure that this particular horse was kept alive for the man to see what he had done. There are people here who felt that this horse marked a milestone because it was that incident that really motivated me to do something about animal welfare by getting laws passed to protect poor, innocent animals. And so, it was important to give love to this animal who never received it on earth. And, oh, he responded so to kindness! He is still in form. It was interesting when the abuser came over. We got him to the point where it did get to his conscience and he had remorse for his ill treatment. So we took him down to the animal realms to see his horse whom we had renamed Bellstone because it was a family name. And the horse remembered him very clearly and shied away, but we were there and we talked to Bellstone and assured him there would be no more beatings, and Bellstone reluctantly allowed this man to get close to him. We were present on many subsequent visits, or at least someone was, until the two could be comfortable. You know, in time Bellstone looked forward to his owner’s visits, and they have become great pals. If only those on earth could understand the importance of being kind to animals, of not mistreating them in any way, it would bring such joy to both person and animal. We are here to give love to each other, and when that love is shown an animal, the animal stays in form and is here in the spirit realms waiting to resume the relationship.

  • The Heritage Fund 2020 Annual Drive
    The Heritage Fund 2020 Annual Drive AMERICA’S FIRST PET BURIAL GROUNDS LISTED ON THE NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES A NATIONAL WILDLIFE FEDERATION HABITAT dear friends, As companion to the wife of a traveling showman, Babe was famous in his own right. For one thing, he was the world’s smallest Black and Tan terrier. What’s more, he could do “everything but talk.” Talented and charismatic, Babe was received at thegreat theatrical houses of America and Europe with as much applause as his master’s performing troupe. So when he suddenly passed away at the break- fast table in 1901 his family was understandably heartbroken. News of Babe’s demise even made the front page of The New York Times. While he lay in state in a satin-lined casket the size of a shoe box, admirers left offerings and toys at his home “until the front yard looked like the premises of a coun- try clergyman on Donation Day.” Then, accompanied by a sizeable entourage, his mistress brought him to Hartsdale Pet Cemetery and “laid him to rest in a flower trimmed grave.” At that time we had just over one undredh burials, with many plots marked only by field rocks, wooden planks or simple plantings, but Babe’s monument changed all this. Crafted from flawles s marble, the little dog’s likeness was a catalyst for other exquisite tributes in stone, u ltimately leading to the transformation of the rustic hillside into a n acclaimed garden of beauty and grace. Here, plot-holders found creative inspiration as we ll as solace.

    TCHAIKOVSKY COMPETITION 1982 A DIARY BY PETER DONOHOE1 1 The footnotes in this diary are restrospective notes from 2012 – 30 years later... 08 June 1982 Recital at Charlotte Mason College in Ambleside in the British Lake District Program: Tchaikovsky Sonata 2 in G Major (1st Movement) Tchaikovsky November (from The Seasons) Tippett Sonata 2 Prokofiev Sonata 6 ---- Scriabin Etude Op65/3 Chopin Etude Op10/8 Rachmaninov Etude Tableau Op39/5 E flat Minor Bach Prelude and Fugue Book 2 No. 3 Flierkovsky – Prelude and Fugue in G minor Stravinsky Three Movements from Petrushka A very nice, but knowing guy came up to me after the concert, and said “That was a very unusual program. It is almost as if you are preparing to enter the Tchaikovsky Competition.” I asked him to keep it under his hat – it is never good for people to know in advance of your competition efforts, in case it doesn’t work out. Set off home at 11.00 p.m. The car –a Vauxhall Viva borrowed from my parents-in-law – broke down after about 10 miles of a 120 mile journey to my in-laws on the Wirral. Still in the Lake District countryside. The weather was appallingly wet. I had to get to the Wirral, and then the next morning to Manchester for an early flight to London to connect with the Aeroflot flight to Moscow. 09 June 1982 Thank God for the AA Relay service. They got me to the Wirral in the cab of one of their trucks, with the car on the back.

  • THE MUSICAL FEATURES of 2015'S TOP-RANKED COUNTRY SONGS
    THE MUSICAL FEATURES OF 2015’s TOP-RANKED COUNTRY SONGS By Mason Taylor Allen Senior Honors Thesis Department of Music University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill April 22, 2016 Approved: Dr. Jocelyn R. Neal, Thesis Advisor Dr. Allen Anderson, Reader Dr. Andrea Bohlman, Reader © 2016 Mason Taylor Allen ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Mason Taylor Allen: The Musical Features of 2015’s Top-Ranked Country Songs Under the direction of Dr. Jocelyn R. Neal The 2015 top-ten country songs analyzed in this study are characterized by the various formats of their song form, harmonies, and lyrics. This thesis presents a comprehensive study of the structure and narratives in sixty-seven songs that summarizes the distinctive features within those domains of contemporary commercial country music. A detailed description of the norm along with identifiable trends emerges. The song form that features most prominently in this repertory includes a verse-chorus-bridge form with three iterations of the chorus, an intro and outro section, and instrumental sections immediately following each chorus. The top-ten country songs have varying degrees of departure from this typical model. Primary features of the harmonies of these top songs include the frequent use of a double-tonic complex, the absence of a 5-1 authentic cadence, the same chord progression throughout the verse, chorus, and bridge, and the use of only two chords throughout the song. Lyrical analyses show that 2015 songs are continuing the traditional themes about romantic attraction, love, heartache, good times and partying, home, family, nostalgia, religion, and inspiration, within the context of small-town country life that this genre has used for years.

  • Environmental Impacts of a Pet Dog: an LCA Case Study
    sustainability Article Environmental Impacts of a Pet Dog: An LCA Case Study Kim Maya Yavor y, Annekatrin Lehmann and Matthias Finkbeiner * Institute of Environmental Technology, Technische Universität Berlin, 10623 Berlin, Germany; [email protected] (K.M.Y.); [email protected] (A.L.) * Correspondence: matthias.fi[email protected]; Tel.: +49-30-314-24341 first authors, equal contribution. y Received: 24 March 2020; Accepted: 16 April 2020; Published: 22 April 2020 Abstract: The number of pet animals in the European Union is increasing over the last decades. Few studies with a limited focus in terms of impacts and life cycle stages exist that assess the environmental impacts of dogs. This paper addresses the entire life cycle of a dog. An LCA study on an average dog was conducted considering the pet food and dog excrements, i.e., urine and feces. Fifteen impact categories were analyzed. An average dog has a climate change and freshwater eutrophication potential of around 8200 kg CO2eq and 5.0 kg Peq., respectively. The main contribution to most impact categories over the dog’s life is caused by pet food. Freshwater eutrophication is mainly determined by the dog´s urine and feces. Feces also have a significant contribution to the category of freshwater ecotoxicity. Impacts increase significantly with increasing weight and a longer lifetime of the dog as well as low collection rates of the feces. This LCA study reveals that pet dogs can have a significant environmental impact, e.g., around 7% of the annual climate change impact of an average EU citizen.

  • La Girafe De Charles X
    Compléments au dossier Zarafa, rédigé par Lolita Ruffino La girafe de Charles X Dès l’Antiquité, les Européens connaissaient l’existence des girafes. Certaines avaient été importées d’Afrique pour participer aux jeux du cirque à Rome. C’était cependant assez rare. Après la chute de l’Empire romain, pendant mille ans, au- cune girafe n’a été transportée en Europe. Il a fallu attendre le XVe siècle, pour que la famille Médicis de Florence reçoive une girafe du sultan d’Égypte et à nouveau plus de trois cent cinquante ans avant de voir une girafe en France. Un cadeau diplomatique pour le roi Méhémet-Ali, vice-roi et pacha d’Égypte, souhaitait renforcer ses liens avec les royaumes européens. Il décida d’envoyer un cadeau spectaculaire, deux jeunes gi- rafes, une au roi de France, Charles X (1824-1830), et une au roi d’Angleterre, George IV (1820-1830). Les deux animaux furent capturés sur les bords du Nil Bleu, très en amont de Khartoum au Soudan. Les mères furent immédiatement tuées car in- domptables et difficilement transportables. Après un premier voyage de plus de 3000 km, les girafons arrivèrent à Alexandrie. Un prétendu tirage au sort aurait dé- cidé du sort des deux animaux : Londres ou Paris. En fait, la décision avait déjà été prise et la plus vaillante et la plus âgée était destinée à la France. La plus chétive fut envoyée en Angleterre où elle mourut quelques mois plus tard. La girafe fran- çaise fit l’objet de préparatifs minutieux. Elle partit pour la France accompagnée de deux antilopes et trois vaches pour garantir le lait indispensable à sa survie.
