Donkey Picture Movie

[Margarita Lovvorn]

Backwhen my son was a toddler, we read THE GREAT FUZZ FRENZY, a story about a golden retriever who drops a ball down a prairie dog hole. Oh my, that was a favorite in our house for years. And now, another book by the Stevens sisters has landed on my desk.

AND the reader gets a lesson in time equivalencies, including how many seconds make a minute, minutes make hours, hours make days, and days make weeks. We learn time-based facts anywhere from the amount of time it takes to sneeze, to how long it takes an ice cream cone to melt in hot weather, to the time it takes a spider to spin a web, to the time it takes the human body to shed 7 million skin cells.

Now, while bear is busy with that egg, his buddy hare keeps racing by (in his bid to beat the tortoise), checking in to see how things are going. So when the egg finally rolls away from the exhausted, caretaking bear, hare plays a major role in the surprise at the end of that egg roll.

Using the timer on a cell phone or a watch, test how long it takes a scoop of ice cream to melt in the sun versus the shade. OR eat both before they melt. How long did that take? Repeat this experiment many times.

I would love to have a sibling to share the joy of making picture books, like these two do, but alas, I must go it alone. Clearly, the Stevens authors/illustrators have a terrific (and successful) relationship!

Leatherworker recently moved to Canada here. Make a range of things including hand stitched gloves. I'm trying to hunt down a particular tool that would make my life easier, otherwise I'll have to DIY it.

This is called a glover's donkey, some of you know the stitching pony or horse. It's a bit like it. The difference is the foot operated metal jaws, and small teeth for stitch placement. It is a uniquely glover's tool, as for most leathers the teeth would leave a dent or mark. They show up every now and then on antique websites, I would love to know if any of you (or your grandmothers) have one in your attic. Would be willing to pay for it and delivery to Canada.

Otherwise, if any of your have had something fabricated at a metal workshop, would you be able to point me in the direction of something who could make such a thing... even the top half. I'm woodworking-savvy but my metal-working skills don't extend past bending bulldog clips.

Yes, the idea is that the jaws hold the two components together and you zig zag the needle in and out of the holes (hand-stitched gloves are done with a running stitch), so they dictate the stitch lengths and actually help with the speed of the stitching. Quite ingenious.

I would just 3d model it up and use modern tools/materials. The base "U" part of that could be fabbed (welded) with plate steel. Maybe some steel flat bar. Spring steel is still available and that could be used as shown to enable the clamping mechanism. IT looks like that through bolt may provide tension adjustment? If thats the case, spring steel may not be needed. You could also put various springs ( K factors) on it to provide various clamping forces.

fwiw, when i was board, i made some elkskin gloves. IIRC, elk skin is great for repelling or keeping your hands intact from friction?. I did it on my sewing machine. But seeing how they did it by hand, made me realize its better by hand. But mine were a real B to get done. I was able to make 1 to fit my 1 hand -like a glove - LOL. but the other one is tighter. sewing it near the web of the fingers was the biggest hurdle.

I actually just purchased the exact glovers donkey you posted this spring! I am using it to complete a couple of pairs of gloves that I started making a year ago! (A Christmas present never completed )

The photo used in the meme is not from World War II. We rate this claim as FALSE. It is from the French Foreign Legion during the Algerian War in the summer of 1958. The man carrying the donkey is a Muslim harki, a member of the French Foreign Legion, not an Allied soldier. He is carrying the donkey out of compassion, not to prevent the animal from detonating a land mine.

The sole purpose of this page is to show off my dear mini-donkeys. They were both born in the fall of 2012. Chester, the brown one, is 36 inches tall at the withers and is a true miniature donkey. Meadow, the gray one, is about 38 inches tall at the withers and is technically classified as a small standard. These two are my dear friends and companions. They love attention, are curious, smart, and just so much fun to live with. I love sharing their antics. We also keep other people's donkeys here from time to time, so as you work through these photos, you will see pictures of them, too. The pictures are in chronological order with the most recent at the top. The captions are beneath the photos.

Our bracket-style fishing where participants face off head to head are a huge hit with anglers. Run it with a stinger of 2 fish and the tournament is very easy to run while participants are always just one fish away from taking the lead.

Running a "kill" tournament or gathering all the biggest fish and transporting them to one end of the lake for a weigh-in is now a thing of the past. We will help you run a competitive fishing event, successfully benefit your brand, your charity or cause, and immediately return all fish to their natural environment.

This picture [is] from World War II, a soldier carrying a donkey. It is not that the soldier loves donkeys or has some sort of perversion. What's happening is that the field is mined and that if the donkey was free to wander as it pleased, it would likely detonate a charge and kill everyone. The moral of the story is that during difficult times the first ones you have to keep under control are the jackasses who don't understand the danger and do as they please.

However much truth that parable may hold, it isn't directly applicable to this picture, which has nothing to do with World War II, or landmines, or any danger the donkey might have posed had it been allowed to run free.

Nineteen fifty-eight proved a very successful year for the Legion in another respect -- it was awarded a Certificate of Merit for Distinguished Service by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and a similar recognition from the RSPCA in London, after a legionnaire of the 13e DBLE [13th Demi-Brigade of the Foreign Legion] rescued a starving donkey and returned it to his base where, renamed Bambi, it served the unit as a mascot. Interest was pricked among the "Anglo-Saxons" after London's Daily Mail carried a photo of the donkey being carried on the back of a legionnaire. Attempts to award the Certificate of Merit to the generous legionnaire foundered upon [his maintaining anonymity]. However, the Chief Secretary of the RSPCA was informed by the Legion that numerous mascots, "running from the bear to the lizard, passing through monkeys, sand foxes, storks and other birds, hedgehogs, without forgetting of course the multitude of dogs and cats [that] follow each unit in its movements. In certain [units], the number of animals is greater than the strength in manpower." Especially gratifying was the knowledge that Bambi "at the present time is enjoying an enviable destiny and that he is sharing the life of our legionnaires and even ... their beer."

No clear consensus has been reached on when the image was made. Dates ranging from the late 1st century AD to the late 3rd century AD have been suggested,[18] with the beginning of the 3rd century AD thought to be the most likely.[10][17]

The graffito was discovered in 1857 when a building called the domus Gelotiana was unearthed on the Palatine Hill. The emperor Caligula had acquired the house for the imperial palace, which, after Caligula died, became used as a Paedagogium (boarding school) for imperial page boys. Later, the street on which the house sat was walled off to give support to extensions to the buildings above, and it thus remained sealed for centuries.[19]

The inscription is usually taken to be a mocking depiction of a Christian in the act of worship. At the time, pagans derided Christians for worshipping a man who had been crucified.[20] The donkey's head and crucifixion would both have been considered insulting depictions by contemporary Roman society. Crucifixion continued to be used as an execution method for the worst criminals until its abolition by the emperor Constantine in the 4th century, and the impact of seeing a figure on a cross is comparable to the impact today of portraying a man with a hangman's noose around his neck or seated in an electric chair.[21]

In the image, Alexamenos is portrayed venerating an image of the crucifix, a detail that Peter Maser believed to represent actual Christian practice, the veneration of icons. This practice, however, was not known to be a part of Christian worship until the 4th or 5th century.[10]

Some scholars have argued the inscription is actually a depiction of the jackal-headed Egyptian god Anubis. For example, in his book on early Christian history published in 1876, Rev. John P. Lundy identifies the inscription as the "Gnostic Anubis."[26] He writes that the inscription depicts the "head of Anubis, or Thoth, the Egyptian Mercury and custodian of the dead".[27] 19th century scholar Charles William King says it is disputed whether it is a caricature of a Christian convert or an adoration of the jackal-headed god Anubis.[28]
