She was declared dead January 5, 1939. Earhart was the first female aviator to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She set numerous other aviation records, wrote best-selling books about her flying experiences, and was instrumental in the formation of The Ninety-Nines, an organization for female pilots.

    We are told by writers of antiquity that elephants have written sentences in Greek, and that one of them was even known to speak. There is, therefore, nothing unreasonable in the supposition that the White Elephant of this history, the famous Iravata" so celebrated throughout Asia, should have written his own memoirs.The story of his long existence—at times so glorious, and at other times so full of misfortune—in the kingdom of Siam, and the India of the Maharajahs and the English, is full of most curious and interesting adventure.After being almost worshipped as an idol, Iravata becomes a warrior; he is made prisoner with his master, whose life he saves, and whom he assists to escape.Later he is deemed worthy to be the guardian and companion of the lovely little Princess Parvati, for whose amusement he invents wonderful games, and to whom he renders a loving service.We see how a wicked sentiment having crept into the heart of the faithful Elephant, usually so wise and good, he is separated for a long time from his beloved Princess, and meets with painful and trying experiences.But at last he once more finds his devoted friend the Princess, and her forgiveness restores him to happiness." - Summary by the author's foreword

    Central London, October 2022: Sue Parfitt, an 80-year-old Anglican priest, is arrested for sitting in the road. 
    It's not her first time, nor the last; and she isn't alone. Christians are waking up to the existential scale of the climate crisis. They are rediscovering the radical nature of Jesus's teaching. They are asking what God needs them to do, and putting their bodies on the line to do it. 
    Why are ordinary Christians breaking the law? For the incredulous and inspired alike, Sue Parfitt describes the experience, surveying our ecological, emotional, spiritual crisis with the blinkers off. You might want to be sitting down.

    In a serene Pacific Northwest woodland at dawn, the gentle murmur of a forest stream mingles with the vibrant chorus of birdsong. The rich, clear notes of an American Robin dominate, flitting among the branches, while the varied, flute-like calls of a hidden Varied Thrush add depth to the morning symphony. Delicate trills of Song Sparrows weave through the air, complementing the soothing ripple of water over stones. Occasionally, the soft croak of a Pacific Chorus Frog emerges from the stream’s edge, adding a subtle aquatic layer to this immersive natural ambiance. Captured in crystal clarity, this recording invites listeners into a tranquil world where the rhythms of flowing water and the lively voices of forest dwellers create a peaceful, grounding experience—perfect for relaxation, meditation, or escape into nature’s quiet wonders.
