A Mohawk's journey to understanding what success truly isThe greatest lesson Waneek Horn-Miller ever learned was that ?anything is possible.? After being stabbed at the age of fourteen during the Oka Crisis, she could have given up. Instead, drawing on her mother's strength and the wisdom of her elders, Horn-Miller embraced life like never before, eventually winning a gold medal at the 1999 Pan Am Games and competing at the Olympic Games in Sydney. A model of perseverance, good-natured humour and wisdom, Horn-Miller inspires people to follow their own dreams, fight for their heritage, and achieve their full potential even in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. Drawing on Horn-Miller's own story, the wisdom of her elders and the community that helped her along the way, Seeking Peace is an incredible, moving and often counterintuitive guide to reaching new heights and truly embracing who we are.
This open access book uncovers the untold story of the making of Cosgrove Hall Productions' most successful works, bookended by the many others that, together, shaped an animation company which generated a ground-breaking and lasting impact like no other. Any British child of the 1980s will remember Danger Mouse - 'the world's greatest secret agent' - and The Wind in the Willows, a series produced using stop frame puppets that faithfully recreated the world of Kenneth Grahame's Edwardian story in remarkable detail. What they may not realise is that these acclaimed series, seemingly so different in style and approach, were made simultaneously under one roof: that of Cosgrove Hall Productions, in the modest suburb of Chorlton-cum-Hardy in Manchester. As the first substantial academic study on this company, this book explores the history of Cosgrove Hall Productions by delving into the pipelines behind its two most successful properties.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on www.bloomsburycollections.com.

Older horses are like part of the family. Many owners still take care of the horses and ponies they had when they were younger. And these horses don¿t ask for much¿just a place to live, food to eat, and a little love and attention. But owners can do more for their older equine friends.The aging process in horses, like in humans, affects all of the body¿s tissues, organs, and systems. But when kept in good health, many older horses are sound enough to be ridden well into their twenties, and for some, even into their thirties. However, practical information to help in caring for older horses has been difficult to find. Understanding the Older Horse provides owners with the guidelines necessary to give their equine senior citizens the best care possible.Written by Dr. Robert E. Holland, who drew upon his veterinary work as well as his childhood experiences caring for an older horse, Understanding the Older Horse emphasizes the importance of developing a complete and consistent wellness management program to fit each horse¿s needs. An appendix includes a sample wellness management care plan, a body condition scoring system, and blank charts to track your older horse's vaccinations, deworming, dental and foot care, and medical history.
Known as "The Gray Ghost" because of his color and his amazing ability on the racetrack, Native Dancer won all but one of his twenty-two starts. His lone loss came in the 1953 Kentucky Derby, when he was upset by Dark Star. Native Dancer went on to win the Preakness and Belmont Stakes. But his brilliance was evident even at age two, when he won all nine of his starts and was named co-Horse of the Year, an honor not bestowed on a two-year-old horse again until twenty years later, when Secretariat was named Horse of the Year in 1972. Boyd also examines the human connections in Native Dancer's story, including owner Alfred Vanderbilt, trainer William C. Winfrey, and jockeys Eddie Arcaro and Eric Guerin.
