ANSWERS TO YESTERDAY'S TRIVIA - - - -
--------------
Isn't buying and selling ivory illegal?
Yes and no. Trade in ivory has been illegal around the world
for several decades, thanks to CITES, the Convention on
International Trade in Endangered Species, a treaty signed
by more than 120 nations. The treaty covers Asian elephants,
among other animals. Importing ivory from African elephants
is also illegal in the US, thanks to a 1989 ban. That means
killing elephants for their ivory tusks is not only morally
wrong, it's a crime. But it's not necessarily a crime to
purchase or sell a product made of ivory. Some ivory, such
as that from extinct animals like mastodon and mammoth,
isn't restricted at all. Ivory from certain other animals,
like warthogs and hippopotamus, is likewise unrestricted.
Ivory from African elephants CANNOT be imported into the US,
but antique elephant ivory already in the US can be legally
bought and sold. But remember, if you're buying illegal
ivory, you're contributing to the endangerment of a species.
How can you tell the difference between ivory from different
species?
Most people can't. Ivory from one animal species is
difficult to distinguish from that of another. Even experts
can have difficulty.

Here's To Think On ...
with Ken Darby
------------------------------------
Your Actions Speak!
Rodney wakes up at home with a huge hangover. He forces
himself to open his eyes, and the first thing he sees is a
couple of aspirins and a glass of water on the side table.
He sits down and sees his clothing in front of him, all
clean and pressed. Rodney looks around the room and sees
that it is in a perfect order, spotless, clean. So's the
rest of the house. He takes the aspirins and notices a note
on the table "Honey, breakfast is on the stove, I left early
to go shopping. Love you."
So he goes to the kitchen and sure enough there is a hot
breakfast and the morning newspaper. His son is also at
the table, eating.
Rodney asks, "Son, what happened last night?"
His son says, "Well, you came home after 3 A.M., drunk and
delirious. Broke some furniture, puked in the hallway, and
gave yourself a black eye when you stumbled into the door."
Confused, Rodney asks, "So, why is everything in order and
so clean, and breakfast is on the table waiting for me?"
His son replies, "Oh that! Mom dragged you to the bedroom,
and when she tried to take your pants off you said, "Lady
leave me alone, I'm married!" (Courtesy of Amusing Humor)
Is your basic philosophy intact?
As you can see who you are comes through, even when you are
not in control.
That is what brings people and business to you or what
drives business away. People "perceive" who you are and make
a decision whether or not they will deal with you, all on an
involuntary basis, deep down in their psyche.
Who you are is worn on your sleeve. It is perceived and
those who are aware will either come into or leave your
company based on that unseen "perception".
How you act, talk, and perform will precede you wherever you
go. Without you saying a word people will "instinctively"
like you, trust you, want to be with you, respect you, or -
the opposite of each of these.
Does your basic character need a re-make? Most of us do not.
Yet most of us also could spend time convincing ourselves we
love people, like people, want to help people. When that is
buried deep into your own psyche that is what is "perceived"
by your audience. So I ask you, would you like to deal with
someone whom you perceive genuinely wants to help, or would
you rather deal with someone you feel you can't trust.
Ask yourself, "What characteristics do I 'project'?" It is
not something you say. It is the way you "believe". That is
what is projected to your audience. That is what they "see".
Most of us would do well if we didn't try so hard. We would
do much better in most situations if we would only relax and
be ourselves. When that condition exists the real you shows
through and like most of your Maker's work you attract to
you what you need and want.
To do this you must first trust your Maker. Your Maker is
the one who feeds the little bird in the field and will much
more feed you. Trust. Relax. Let go and let your Maker shine
through. Then you will prosper.

MEDICAL COLUMN - - - -
by Karin Henderson
Coping With A Crisis
It is really important to be prepared in case of a
medical emergency. Many of us can forget our
names or addresses when calling for help.
Babysitters and relatives won't know your street
address, let alone your phone number. So it's very
helpful to have a collection of all the important
information close to the phone(s). Any phone should
have access to this information. It's also handy to
plasticise these to keep sticky things off. One thing
that would be extremely helpful, is a small file box
of medical and general information. Think through
who would be the least likely person to know anything
about your family, and pretend they were helping out.
What would they need to know about your family
members if an emergency arose? Would they know
how to call everyone at work? Would they or you,
know who has had tetanus shots and when?
Vaccinations? Allergies? Age and approximate weight
of children. Doctors and dentists office numbers. For
elder relatives, their medical history is crucial.
Post: Your family name and address and telephone
number 911 (if it's in your area) The local POLICE,
FIRE, and AMBULANCE numbers if you don't have 911.
POISON CONTROL CENTER Local hospital emergency
room or clinic numbers Put a list of numbers you might
need in each home and vehicle first aid kit. That way
you have them when you get to the facility and need to
make calls. Keep some quarters for emergency calls
here, too. Incidentally, NEVER say "nine eleven". There
is no "eleven" on your dial pad and someone in a panic
might not think to press "1" twice. In an emergency,
people do strange things.

THE NET'S BEST KEPT SECRET

THE SAGA OF PINEHILL
by Ken Darby
--------------------------------------
Eloise Henry, age 18 when the story began
and David Wylie, age 20, were selected by a
stranger in town to take a dangerous trip,
together. The idea was that each was to take
only the clothes on their back and go
anywhere in the world where the stranger
took them. They were to be left there to find
their own way home. They had no money,
no identification, and no idea where they
were. If they arrived back home, there
would be a million dollars waiting in each
of their bank accounts
The story deals with their adventures along
and leads to the only way they could survive.
The story leads to many friends, many adventures
and many places.
The Saga Of Pinehill, The Adventure
is now in bookstores. A controversial and powerful story.
It will change your life. Go to
http://www.the-pebble.com OR order yours from
your favorite bookstore. ISBN # 1-4137-4723-X
As you read enjoy. It continues . . . . . . .

It was not an excitement the kids felt. It was more awe
than exhilaration. That there was so much life concentrated
in one spot was amazing to them. They saw wildebeest,
springbok, gazelle, zebra, lion, cheetah, hyena, dogs, small
antelope and all manner of beast.
The kids, each of them, were broadcasting love and
hesitated not one second to walk out amongst the animals.
Not one shied away but permitted the kids to walk among
them. These kids had not only higher law working for them
but they were also children of the wilderness. They were
quite used to wild animals and their habits.
The kids walked among the animals for nearly four hours.
It was close to two in the afternoon by the time they began
to congregate on one side of the plain, under a tall acacia
tree. Each spoke of something they saw and related it to the
rest.
Then a message came. "Hey, you guys! We're up here
having lunch. Anyone hungry?"
They knew the message was from Mazunta. They all looked
at each other and knew they would go for lunch. Without a
word they all vanished, only to appear at the fire circle in
front of Kenyata's and Mombudo's hut.
It must have been quite a sight for the village.
Suddenly here were nearly thirty kids of some foreign
heritage, all gathered in front of Kenyata's and Mombudo's.
The village was used to them having company, but they were
amused at the crowd.
Kenyata, as usual, prepared a "special" meal for the
kids, one that included some sweets. They had no sugar here,
but they used cow's milk to sweeten some baking and the kids
went for it as if it were candy.
They were all sitting campfire style around the fire
circle, all talking a mile a minute. Kenyata, Mombudo, Maz
and Sam all listened in. It was easy to see the trip here
was a worthy exercise. The kids had seen animals unlike they
could ever see at home. They were able to witness how game
behaved in countries other than their own.
Additionally, this was the first time they had seen
people so dark. They themselves were somewhat dark skinned,
but Sonora's people were nearly black.
The kids took all this in. In China they saw a different
group of people, now, here in Africa they saw a different
group again.
Sam had been watching their thoughts. "Yes, and if you
someday come to Pinehill in the United States to visit me
you will see many, many people all like I am. There are
different groups of people, such as you have seen, all over
the world. You will one day see them all."
"Mr. Sam, do we have animal herds moving through areas
like they do here?"
"No, not on your continent. The only other thing that
resembles this kind of movement of animals is in the
northern part of North America. In North America there are
two countries, the United States in the southern half of
the continent and Canada in the northern half. In northern
Canada there are great herds of Caribou that move distances
greater than 1500 miles from season to season. They are not
an assortment of animals but it is a migration similar to
the one you just witnessed. I believe they have the same
thing in northern Russia as well, caribou I mean."
"We have learned a lot on this journey."
"Yes." Sam confirmed. "The most important thing you
learned was the use of higher law. I notice that each of you
is much more comfortable and confident in using higher law
than you were the other day. When we arrive home you will
also use higher law to re-energize. When we get back to the
village they will just be getting out of bed to start their
day. You will not see bed for quite a little while, likely
after the fire that night. Yes, you have seen much and
learned more. I'm proud of each of you."
Each of the kids was pleased with the report card from
someone so distinguished as Mr. Sam.
"Sonora? What are you thinking up for the kids this
afternoon?"
"Mr. Sam, I was only thinking of going for a walk down
that hot dusty road north of here."
"That sounds like a great idea. Call out to me if you
find you need help with any of these ruffians." Sam was
moving his hand across the top of one of the young men's
head. He ducked and laughed. He knew what was up.
The kids went for a very long walk. They were still
moving away from the hut some four hours later when they
received another message about it being time to get back to
the hut. They realized it was time to leave.
Upon arriving back at the hut Mazunta looked at them.
"My, your Mothers will never let me take you with me again
if I bring you all home looking that dirty. Maybe you guys
should all see yourselves with clean bodies and clean
clothes. How's that?"
It took only seconds and the kids had each followed his
suggestion.
"Sonora, Hemno, why don't you come with us to visit our
village. You would be made most welcome." Mazunta realized
he had not seen Sonora, Hemno, Kenyata or Mombudo in the
village for many years.
Sonora looked at her parents, knowing it would be all
right, but seeking their permission nonetheless. Hemno did
likewise and each received a nod.
"Good. Miss Kenyata and Mr. Mombudo, we must take out
leave. Thank you for your hospitality and thank you for your
help with the kids."
With that Maz gathered all his charges and suggested it
was time they leave for home. They all turned to wave good
bye and were away. Sam, Sonora and Hemno said their good
byes and were soon to follow.

WHY DO WE SAY IT?
Kangaroo Court: Why is a mock trial held by convicts called
a "kangaroo court"?
The term originated in Australia at the time when it was a
penal colony and the use of "kangaroo" is an allusion to the
prisoner' belief that they had no more to say about what
happened to them than the kangaroos of that continent.

HA! HA! HA!
This lady is giving a party for her granddaughter, and has
gone all out. She had a caterer, band, and a hired clown.
Just before the party starts, two goobers show up looking
for a handout.
Feeling sorry for the goobers, the woman tells them that
they can get a meal if they will chop some wood out back.
Gratefully, they head to the rear of the house.
Guests arrive, and all is going well with the children
having a wonderful time. But the clown has not shown up, and
finally, the clown calls to report that he is stuck in
traffic, and will probably not make the party at all.
The woman is very disappointed and unsuccessfully tries to
entertain the children herself. She happens to look out the
window and sees one of the goobers doing cartwheels across
the lawn. She watches in awe as he swings from tree
branches, does midair flips, and leaps high in the air. She
speaks to the other goober and says, "What your friend is
doing is absolutely marvelous. I have never seen such a
thing. Do you think your friend would consider repeating
this performance for the children at the party? I would pay
him $50!"
The goober replies, "Well, I dunno. Let me ask him."
"HEY NEIL! FOR $50, WOULD YOU CHOP OFF ANOTHER TOE?"
