Born in Georgia in February, 1898, Dr. Leila D. Denmark worked as a practicing physician for over seventy years. Putting her stethoscope down for the last time in May 2001, she retired from the practice of paediatrics at the age of 103. Dr. Denmark held the 2001 Guinness World Record for the oldest practicing physician ever, and in 2013, she held the record for the oldest person to have held the title of “Doctor.” She was the recipient of numerous awards and accolades throughout the course of her career. Her nurturing approach to her work is summed up in the title of her book Every Child Should Have a Chance (1986). Dr. Denmark died in April 2012 at the age of 114.

The curve of plasma reached a distance from the surface of 300,000 kilometers, and blasted out at 1,400 kilometers per second.

This photo is so endearing as we see the two (beautiful) young ones fully content while keeping one another company. These two were hand-fed because their mom’s didn’t have enough milk to feed them. It was their similar circumstances that made them fast friends. Both babies, now approximately 2 years old, were born at the Guaipo Manchurian Tiger Park in Shenyang, China.

“The assumption that animals are without rights and the illusion that our treatment of them has no moral significance is a positively outrageous example of Western crudity and barbarity. Universal compassion is the only guarantee of morality.”
― Arthur Schopenhauer
