The Wolves and Humans Foundation (formerly The Wolf Society of Great Britain) is a UK based charity (Registered Charity No. 1111289) dedicated to helping conservation of wolves, as well as bears and lynx, by finding solutions to the problems of living alongside people, through practical measures, education and research. The Foundation’s work mainly focuses on Europe.
The Wolf Society of Britain was formed in 1985 and was one of the first pro-wolf conservation organisations in Europe. In 2005 the Society became a registered charity and changed its name to The Wolves and Humans Foundation, or Wolves and Humans. The idea for the change in name arose from the World Wolf Congress held in Banff, Canada in 2003; many of the presentations concluded that after centuries of persecution, wolf recovery is now a reality, and that the new conservation challenge is to find ways to co-exist with them in a human-dominated landscape.
The aims of the Foundation are;
a) to advance for the benefit of the public, research, education and training in the methods of managing conflict between wolves (and other large carnivores) and agriculture and other human interests.
b) to provide and advance education about wolves (and other large carnivores) to the general public, and to promote, support and advance the scientific study of wolves and other large carnivores.
Working in partnership with local biologists and conservationists in their home countries, provides resources, education and training with the aim of restoring traditional methods of protecting livestock and preventing attacks by predators, and carries out research to establish new methods of preventing conflicts arising.
Wolves and Humans also carries out research to establish true numbers of large carnivores and assess their impact on wild prey species and domestic livestock, helping to dispel misconceptions and provide a sound basis for future conservation and management decisions.
Past and current projects include: provision of livestock guarding dogs to sheep owners in Slovakia; provision of guarding dogs and ‘fladry’ barriers, educational activities and research into wolf population dynamics in Poland; wolf research in the Tver region of central European Russia; and an initiative to improve knowledge about wolves and other carnivores in Belarus.

The Bigger The God, sometimes known as TBTG was a British alternative rock band in the 1990s.
Formed in 1990, and based in Oxford, the band was identified with the local music scene that spawned Radiohead, Supergrass and Ride. However, their music, with its wry vignettes of sexual shenanigans, was more comparable to the songs of Pulp. Singer David Cowles-Hamar, who often performed barefoot, in a sarong, was a charismatic frontman, although the bulk of the songwriting fell to guitarist Ellis James.
Their first album, Variety, won positive reviews in 1996, but the collapse of the Britpop movement, and the band's drift into more experimental sounds meant that they were unable to achieve the success of their better known contemporaries. Their follow-up, ...and the Ugly (1999) was much less successful, and TBTG split in 2003.

J-Dawg (born Jonny Shephard) and B-Rizzle (born Brad Prosser) were a West Coast rap duo existing in the United States during the early 1990s. Both were born in the San Francisco Bay Area on 15th December 1967 and 12th March 1969. The style of music they were involved in, Mobb Music, was compared to the ever-growing and popular G-Funk. Although never making it mainstream and remaining relatively unknown, they contributed greatly to the growth of Mobb Music particularly helped by their relatively large cult underground following.
The duo produced two albums whilst working together, the first being released in February 1991, Let's Ride Let's Ride. However, the album sold poorly selling an estimated 1,000 copies, some of which where sold from the trunks of their cars. The group was dropped from their label Lynx Recordings and soon found themselves involved once again in the street life that they had been trying to get out of with their music. In December 1993 the group surprisingly re-emerged, releasing Back From Tha Streetz in January of 1994. However, once again the album failed to perform selling little more than the 1,000 copies their first album had, resulting in the group's dismissal from their label at the time.
The duo were rumoured to be creating a third LP in November of 1994. However, no results came from this as J-Dawg and B-Rizzle were both killed in a gang shootout later that month. J-Dawg was shot 3 times in the chest and B-Rizzle 9 times in the chest and arms. Both artists were pronounced dead at the scene, and no copies of their music have emerged to this current day due to the poor record sales of both albums.
It is unfortunately particularly hard to cite any references to J-Dawg and B-Rizzle either collecitvely or singularly due to their underwhelming lack of success and predominantly 'underground' status.
