Yes, he made it. Read about his return to the sea on http://www.skegnessnatureland.co.uk/news.htm Back From The Brink Happy news for us all! Every time I hear of this kind of success I am reminded of all the people who were involved in this story. Their efforts, their planning, their strong commitment to a cause makes humans what they are: time-binders. Time-binders bind time. They anticipate, they plan, using the past as a reference, they look into the future. This is the most valuable gift to have and nurture, especially now that we are becoming more aware of our impact on Earth. We must plan carefully, anticipate the effects on the environment from our carbon emissions, and look into the future when we can live without the threat of global warming. If we can bring the otter back from the brink of extinction, can't we also bring our own species back from the brink of extinction? It will take cooperative anticipation, cooperative planning, cooperative speculation with many nations. Are we up to this level of co-operation? Habit? Addiction?

Penguin Shoes Ensure "Happy" Feet This little penguin is a spacebinder just like your favorite kitty, puppy or pig. Here, little Elvis gets around by walking and swimming. Unfortunately, he walks too much on land and doesn't swim enough in the water at the International Antarctic Centre in Christchurch, New Zealand where he is staying. So his feet get sore. One thing spacebinders must take care of is their appendages they use for moving in space. In this little penguin's case it is feet. But what about a dolphin? And a bird? What do they have to take care of in order to move around? Ask your child these kinds of questions. Get them thinking in terms of spacebinding then they will understand the seriousness of this young penguin's condition.
