The Junior League of Atlanta celebrated its Centennial Monday by giving away three grants worth a total of $1 million to local nonprofits in Atlanta.
“Today’s event was 100 years in the making and 10 years in planning,” said Deanna Anderson, this year’s JLA president, at the luncheon Monday held at the Piedmont Driving Club. “The million dollars represents 10 years of fundraising. We have finally arrived.”
Without disclosing the winners, Anderson also teased the audience by saying: “Today’s recipients will wow you.”
It was WSB-TV’s Linda Stouffer, the emcee of the luncheon, who did the honors of announcing the winners:
- The Atlanta Community Food Bank;
- A collaboration of the Atlanta Legal Aid Society, Georgia Heirs Property Law Center and Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta; and
- Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.
The million dollar in grants were targeted to assist residents struggling through food insecurity, generational poverty and the effects of sexual exploitation and human trafficking. The Centennial Grants will enable and encourage growth for the next three years in organizations aimed at helping some of the city’s hardest hit communities.
Anderson said these initiatives “represent the opportunity for transformational change in our city that will lead to a lasting and positive impact on the lives of women and children.”
The Atlanta Community Food Bank received a $380,000 grant from JLA. It will use the money to expand its Child Nutrition Programs, which focus on elementary, middle and high school students in Clayton, Cobb, DeKalb, Fulton and Gwinnett counties.
The grant will help the Food Bank implement a new School Breakfast Program, add new Summer Meal sites and expand its current School Mobile Food Pantry program, providing an additional 800,000 meals per year to students through these school focused programs.
“The Food Bank has been a proud partner of the Junior League of Atlanta since 1985 and together, we’ve been able to make an incredible impact on the lives of our neighbors in need,” said Kyle Waide, president and CEO of the Atlanta Community Food Bank. “Today, we take an even bigger step in this powerful partnership with an investment from the JLA that will help change the future of local children who face hunger.”
The Generational Poverty Law Project is a collaboration of three nonprofits: the Atlanta Legal Aid Society, Georgia Heirs Property Law Center and Pro Bono Partnership of Atlanta.
The Generational Poverty Law Project, a three-year joint venture of the three nonprofit organizations, received a $380,000 grant from JLA.
With the JLA grant, the partners plan to expand outreach to metro-Atlanta non-profits and collaborate to protect homes and families in the Atlanta area. In establishing the Generational Poverty Law Project, the collective hopes to use its work in Atlanta to create a national model for providing holistic legal services to multi-generational families.
This collaborative approach will help ensure that metro-Atlanta clients of all three organizations receive the legal help and social services support that make a significant difference.
“Legal Aid is excited and honored to renew its relationship with Junior League of Atlanta,” said Steven Gottlieb, executive director of the Atlanta Legal Aid Society. “Throughout our 93-year history, Junior League of Atlanta provided great support through volunteers and grants. This grant renews our partnership in an incredible, substantial way, and we hope to grow and strengthen that partnership through this work.”
The third grant – for $240,000 – went to the Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta’s Institute for Healthcare and Human Trafficking.
Children’s, through the Institute, will follow a public health approach to address the crisis of human trafficking. The grant will be used to provide training and education to healthcare providers and promote evidence-based research on trafficking. The Institute will:
- Establish a comprehensive online database of evidence-based research on child sex trafficking;
- Train more healthcare providers how to recognize trafficking victims and effectively intervene on their behalf; and
- Evaluate the effectiveness of interventions for child sex trafficking.
“The Institute for Healthcare and Human Trafficking will transform the ability of trafficking victims to access help by providing medical and mental health professionals the means to recognize and respond to suspected exploitation,” said Dr. Jordan Greenbaum, a physician in the Stephanie V. Blank Center for Safe and Health Children at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta.
“Healthcare professionals can be powerful advocates for those who have been trafficked or sexually exploited, but only if they are equipped with appropriate knowledge and skills,” Greenbaum added. “By offering high-quality training, resources, technical assistance and leading-edge research, the Institute will help transform Atlanta’s healthcare facilities into effective gateways to victim identification and intervention.”
The gifts continue JLA’s long tradition of serving the community’s social needs. The organization of women is committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and improving the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers.
The luncheon was held at the Piedmont Driving Club, an private club that didn’t even accept women members until the 1990s, for historic reasons.
More than 100 years ago, 45 women met at the Piedmont Driving Club (women could use the club if their husbands or fathers were members) to discuss starting the Junior League of Atlanta.
The JLA was then founded on Oct. 2, 1916, according to Ursala Reynolds, the Centennial Committee Chair. “Fast forward 90 years later, and the Centennial Fund was formed,” Reynolds said.
Over the years, JLA has been instrumental in launching a myriad of nonprofits, including the Atlanta Speech School and the Atlanta Children’s Shelter.
But the organization has changed as women’s roles in society have changed. It used to be that most of the members did not have a paying job outside the home, and they were able to devote their time to the Junior League and other organizations.
It wasn’t until 1980 when JLA elected its first president who worked outside the home – Ann Cramer, citizen volunteer extraordinaire who then worked for IBM.
“Today we have 17 members on the board, and only one who doesn’t work,” said Rebekah Henry Murphy, JLA’s president elect who will take office on June 1, who just so happens that one person. “Over 90 percent of our active membership works outside the home.”

Coveney welcomes proposed ban on fishing for sea bass in waters around Ireland
The new regime will extend Ireland’s ban on seabass fishing to all EU vessels
Minister Simon Coveney TD, today strongly welcomed an EU Commission proposal for a comprehensive prohibition on commercial fishing for seabass in the Irish & Celtic Seas which underpins the conservation actions already taken by Ireland with regard to this vulnerable stock.
The Minister said “Ireland has had stringent measures in place for the protection of seabass, a very important angling species, for a long number of years. However, those measures only applied to Irish vessels. I have been very active over the past six months, lobbying the EU Commission and relevant Member States, on this issue. I am delighted that the EU finally recognises the lead taken by Ireland by extending our ban on commercial fishing to all EU vessels operating in the waters around Ireland.”
Minister Coveney added “The scientific advice for seabass is very worrying and we must all do our utmost to protect this stock. Ireland has been to the forefront in being the only EU Member State to afford maximum protection to this stock and today’s proposal will enhance that protection by making the Irish model obligatory for all EU vessels in the Irish & Celtic Seas.”
Once the measures are approved by the Council of Ministers, all commercial fishing for seabass will be prohibited in the waters around Ireland.
Second amendment of the Fishing Opportunities Regulation fixing for 2015 the fishing opportunities in the North Sea and in the Atlantic
(20/05/2015) The European Commission has today announced a further proposal aimed at halting the decline of sea bass in the Celtic Sea, Irish Sea, Channel and North Sea.
The Commission’s proposal is the third of a series of proposals in relation to this stock this year. This proposal is addressed to the Council of Fisheries Ministers and will enable the ministers to decide about catch limits for particular fishing gears in order to protect sea bass. The Commission's proposal would also allow extending a prohibition, currently applied to Irish fishing vessels, to all Member State vessels in waters adjacent to Ireland.
Sea bass is a high value, iconic species for recreational and commercial fishermen; we need to act to address the declining state of the stock, to protect jobs and livelihoods. If the EU does not act decisively now, the risk for greater and long term losses to this valuable fish stock and to coastal communities will be increasing.
Scientific advice has clearly identified the need to drastically reduce catches of this species, following an increase in the fishing pressure and a reduction in reproduction.
Previously the Commission has implemented a short term ban on pelagic trawling until 30th April, preventing the targeting of this species during spawning aggregations. A previous amendment of the fishing opportunities regulation has already introduced a 3 fish bag limit for recreational fishermen.
This latest proposal envisages a maximum catch per month by gear type, limiting the targeting of the vulnerable stock but allowing for incidental catches.
Ireland in the 1990’s introduced a ban on commercial fishing for its flag vessels. This prohibition is proposed to be extended to other Member States in the Waters adjacent to Ireland outside of the UK 12 nm limit by the latest.
It is now up to the Council of Ministers to decide on the Commission's proposal.

First-ever Ferry Services between Bulgaria and Turkey Launched
The first-ever sea bus transportation between Turkey and Bulgaria was started Tuesday, as a ferry carried passengers from the Bulgarian city of Burgas to the northwestern Turkish province of Kırklareli, reports Daily Sabah.
Istanbul's Sea Bus Operators (IDO) initiated the services with an aim to boost tourism along Turkey's Black Sea coastline.
The first ferry, named Sinan Pasha, reached a port in the Iğneada district after five hours. Bulgarian authorities and press members were the first passengers to make the international voyage.
IDO Chairman Hasan Üstündağ said that they have succeeded in establishing the first service between the two countries and they will increase those services if they reach the predicted passenger potential.
District Governor Cafer Ekinci said that they will initiate the necessary work in order to increase the number of ferry services.

It was her gospel foundation and upbringing that lead her to international fame.
When African Americans sing gospel music in the Black church, we are singing to a higher power, about life situations and how we are connected to that power. So when Whitney sang other genres of music you felt that connection and spiritual foundation. It was that spirituality that made such a strong connection to her fans and to the world.
Whitney Houston was the voice of my generation. Her voice was original and uncomparable, her artistry and approach was unique.
Let’s all remember and celebrate her voice. Whitney was a great talent, although she had mortal limitations. She left a rich legacy of style, and an anthology of music that has forever immortalized her. Although her only gospel project was the movie sound track for The Preachers Wife which became the top-selling movie sound track of all times. Her gift was always embraced by the church.
I trust and hope that we will all cherish and keep her memory and legacy alive for future generations.
Dawn Tallman “ Queen Of Gospel Energy” teams up with GospeLive Productions.

In all, snowfall and ice loss in East Antarctica have about equaled out over the past 10 years, leaving that part of the continent unchanged in terms of total ice. But in West Antarctica, the ice loss has increased by 59 percent over the past decade to about 132 billion metric tons a year, while the yearly loss along the peninsula has increased by 140 percent to 60 billion metric tons. Because the ice being lost is generally near the bottom of glaciers, the glacier moves faster into the water and thins further, as a result. Rignot said there has been evidence of ice loss going back as far as 40 years.|
Frank Hurley visited Antarctica six times, from his first visit with the Australasian Antarctic Expedition 1911 to the last in 1932 with the British, Australian, New Zealand, Antarctic Research Expedition (BANZARE). Hurley was an exceptional photographer and his Antarctic visits covered a substantial part of the heroic age of Antarctic exploration.|

More than 100 skaters, scooter and BMX riders and onlookers have turned up for the official opening of Murray Bridge’s much improved, $800,000 skate park.
Locals including Sam Waters had told the council the old park was too small and did not cater well to younger skaters who were still developing their skills.
In response, the council sought the advice of local skaters on a design and, after its applications for grant funding came up short, stumped up the cash itself.
The result, Mr Waters said, was unreal.
“It’s one of the best skate parks I’ve ridden in SA, and it’s in your home town – I don’t think it gets much better than that,” he said.
The reviews were similarly glowing from some of the other skaters present.
Shea Reddington said he was loving it, and it was great to see so many people coming out of the woodwork and getting their bikes out of their sheds; Harry Stone declared it “cool”; Ashley White said it was “sick”.
Mayor Brenton Lewis said the nearby “pump track”, a temporary facility set up while the renovations were being completed, would now be made available for use by schools and community organisations in other parts of the Murray Bridge district.
He encouraged anyone interested in hosting it for a while to contact the council.

Fig. 17.2 Time series of net volume transport through Davis Strait in the 1/4° resolution version (blue) and in the 1/12° resolution version of NAOSIM (Fieg et al., manuscript in preparation). Northward transports are positive; axis labels are in Sv
2007). Considering the narrow channels that connect the Arctic Ocean with Baffin Bay, model resolution is an obvious candidate for the differences. Figure 17.2 shows volume transport time series of net volume transport through Davis Strait (which is identical to that through the Canadian Archipelago) in two versions of NAOSIM. In the lower resolution version (1/4° resolution in a rotated spherical grid) the volume transport almost vanishes whereas the higher resolution version (1/12°) has a more realistic southward transport of around 1 Sv. Results from the even lower resolution version of NAOSIM with 1° resolution suggest, however, that an exaggerated Channel width may at least help in getting a realistic net outflow of water though the Archipelago (Koberle and Gerdes 2007).
The resolution dependent representation of the Canadian Archipelago topography is a critical issue in modelling the Arctic freshwater balance. This is aggravated by the possible resolution dependence of the fresh water export distribution between the Archipelago and Fram Strait.
The magnitude of the liquid fresh water flux through the Canadian Archipelago is around 0.1 Sv or approximately 3,000 km3/year in the high-resolution NAOSIM version. This is of the same order of magnitude as the liquid Fram Strait export and about twice as large as the estimate of Aagard and Carmack (1989). Newer observational estimates put the total liquid fresh water transport through the Canadian Archipelago at around 3,000 km3/year (Prinsenberg and Hamilton 2004, 2005). These estimates rely on 3 years of mooring data in Lancaster Sound and assumptions about the additional flow through other channels, especially Nares Strait. The transport through the Canadian Archipelago is not solely determined by resolution. The passages in the model have to be well resolved. This might be achieved in coarse resolution models by overly wide channels through the Canadian Arctic. In a 1°-resolution model, Prange and Gerdes (2006) find an average southward fresh water transport of almost 1,400 km3/year while Koberle and Gerdes (2007) simulate a transport of more than 2,200 km3/year with different surface forcing and a somewhat different land-sea configuration. Another important factor is the representation of flow through Bering Strait. In a simple two-dimensional model, Proshutinsky et al. (2007) show that inflow through Bering Strait sets up a surface elevation pattern with highest amplitudes along the North American coast and indicating strong flows through the Canadian Archipelago and Fram Strait. Simulations with a comprehensive model (Karcher and Oberhuber 2002) that includes an artificial tracer for Pacific Water confirm this direct path from Bering Strait to the Canadian Archipelago. All these relatively coarse resolution models have a prescribed volume influx at Bering Strait while the higher resolution NAOSIM models have a closed boundary where only hydrographic properties are imposed.
Many Arctic Ocean models employ 'virtual salt fluxes' instead of fresh water fluxes to represent precipitation, melt water, and continental run-off. This is imposed by a rigid-lid condition that leads to volume conservation and cannot accommodate volume fluxes across the surface. In this case, a choice of reference salinity is necessary to convert fresh water fluxes into salt fluxes. Usually, a constant value or the local surface salinity is used. A constant value Sref with which the surface fresh water flux becomes FS = (-P + E - R)Sref, allows tracer conservation when the total surface fresh water fluxes (including evaporation) sum up to zero over the model surface. However, locally very large errors are possible. This includes the possible occurrence of negative salinities near strong fresh water sources like the Siberian river mouths during summer. Local surface salinity SSS, FS = (-P + E - R)SSS, avoids these errors but involves a spatially variable weighting of the fresh water fluxes which implies a deviation from the originally specified surface fresh water fluxes. Prange and Gerdes (2006) discuss these choices and their consequences for the Arctic Ocean fresh water balance. Depending on the chosen surface boundary condition, Fram Strait liquid fresh water transports differ by up to 1,000 km3/year. In the case of prescribed volume fluxes through the surface, the Arctic Ocean is becoming saltier while in case of 'virtual salt fluxes' with the local SSS for conversion from fresh water fluxes, the Arctic Ocean is getting fresher in Prange and Gerdes' calculation.
In equilibrium, the exchanges of volume and salt between the subpolar North Atlantic and the Arctic Ocean are strongly constrained by the mass and salt balances of the Arctic Ocean. On short time scales, inflow and outflow salinities do not change substantially and an increase in the run-off, precipitation minus evaporation, or Bering Strait inflow will result in increasing transports of both the Atlantic inflow and the outflow of Polar Water. Besides other processes, this exchange will eventually lead to a new equilibrium. Important questions are how long the adjustment processes will last (determined by the size of the involved fresh water reservoirs and the magnitude of the flux anomaly) and what changes in fresh water content in the Arctic Ocean will develop during the transition phase. Over decadal or longer time scales, the outflow with the EGC can be described by a simple formula derived from a 1.5-layer model of the Polar Water flow (Koberle and Gerdes 2007). The volume transport is proportional to the square of the upstream thickness of the Polar Water layer. An adjustment of the lateral fluxes thus likely involves changes in the thickness of the
Arctic halocline. In a model with prescribed fresh water input through precipitation, run-off and Bering Strait inflow (usually with prescribed salinity), the lateral fluxes will adjust accordingly to reach equilibrium. A bias in the prescribed fluxes will result in a bias in the lateral fluxes as well as in the Arctic hydrography. Even in a perfect model, the biases in fresh water fluxes prescribed as forcing will introduce biases in the distribution of salinity and the lateral fluxes in a model. The equilibrium response in the volume transports of in- and outflows to a change in run-off and precipitation is amplified by a factor Sref/AS where Sref is the salinity of the inflow or the outflow and AS is the salinity difference between inflow and outflow. Because of the large salinity contrast between inflow and outflow in the case of the Arctic, this factor is only O(10) for current conditions. However, the uncertainty in precipitation over the Arctic Ocean as expressed in the different integral numbers of fresh water flux from different data sets is almost 0.1 Sv. For the ocean area north of 65° N with the exception of the Nordic Seas and the Barents Sea south of 79° N and east of 50° E we calculate 5,600 km3/year in the Large and Yeager (2004) dataset, 2,900 km3/year in the ERA40 reanalysis data based Roske (2006) atlas, and 5,000 km3/year in the satellite-based NASA GPCP V1DD data set. An ocean model confronted with a precipitation data set that is perhaps 0.1 Sv off will react either with a bias in the exchanges between the Arctic and adjacent seas of around 1 Sv or a corresponding change in the outflow salinities, i.e. a massive bias in the Arctic Ocean hydrography.
Because of the above difficulties to satisfactorily combine prescribed fresh water fluxes, lateral exchange rates, and hydrograhy in the interior Arctic, many modellers have relied on additional artificial fresh water sources. Perhaps the most frequently used device is the restoring of modelled surface salinity to climatological values. Steele et al. (2001) discuss the effect of surface salinity restoring in different Arctic Ocean models. Koberle and Gerdes (2007) discuss the spatial and temporal distribution of the restoring flux in their model under NCAR/NCEP reanalysis forcing. Biases in the model that were compensated for include a lack of fresh water originating at the Siberian rivers and following the transpolar drift into the interior Arctic Ocean. Run-off in their model is around 1,000-2,000 km3/year less than more recent estimates (Shiklomanov et al. 2000). More important, however, was the failure of the model to disperse the fresh water away from the coasts. The insufficient communication between shallow shelf seas and the deep interior is a common problem in this class of ocean models. River water is accumulating near the river mouths, leading to unrealistically low salinities. This diminishes the efficiency of the fresh water flux that is transformed into a salt flux by multiplying with the local surface salinity. In other areas of the Arctic, the flux adjustment is typically less than 0.5 m/year in each direction. These values still are comparable to the annual mean precipitation in this area.
The flux adjustment partly compensates for a mismatch between the climato-logical surface salinities, based on observations mainly between 1950 and 1990, and the forcing period that extends to 2001. For instance, north of the strong fresh water input through the flux adjustment Koberle and Gerdes (2007) find an area where fresh water is extracted. This can be ascribed to the changed pathways of river water in times of the strongly positive North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO)
towards the end of the 20th century (Steele and Boyd 1998) that is not well represented in the climatological surface salinities. Similarly, the climatology might not reflect completely the supposed high ice export rates from the Arctic during positive NAO phases, thus featuring relatively low surface salinities in the sea ice formation regions and relatively high salinities in the melting regions of the EGC.
Restoring introduces a negative feedback that acts against surface salinity anomalies. With time-varying atmospheric forcing the restoring term represents a strongly varying component in the Arctic Ocean fresh water balance. To avoid the feedback that damps variability, surface fresh water fluxes are prescribed. A naive application of fresh water fluxes will lead to large biases in simulated hydrography and lateral exchanges as explained above. A flux-compensation can be introduced as described for instance in Koberle and Gerdes (2007). Basically, the restoring term is evaluated for an experiment run and averaged over a certain period. In a repetition of the run with otherwise identical forcing, this climatology of the restoring term is applied as a fixed salt flux to the surface box of the ocean model. This is an artificial fresh water flux that, however, compensates for biases in the forcing fields and deficiencies of the model. Since the flux is constant in time and there is no connection with the surface salinity, the former feedback is no longer present. This allows much larger variability in all components of the fresh water balance. As an example we show in Fig. 17.3 time series for Arctic fresh water content in a model run with restoring and a model run with flux adjustment.
While this procedure seems a feasible solution to the problem, potentially it has a grave drawback. Prescribing surface temperature through bulk formulae that tie the SST to fixed atmospheric temperatures and surface fresh water fluxes (mixed boundary conditions) is known to cause too high sensitivity in large-scale models of the oceanic circulation (Zhang et al. 1993; Rahmstorf and Willebrand 1995; Lohmann et al. 1996). Regional models are more constrained by lateral boundary conditions where large-scale transports are prescribed. In the example of Fig. 17.3, we see that the fresh water content is systematically higher in the flux-adjusted case but the value at the end of the integration is close to that of the restored case again. This indicates that no substantial shift in the circulation regime has occurred due to the change in the surface boundary conditions. We conclude that this model

As the Ebola outbreak simmers on in West Africa, researchers have shown the utility of a rapid test for the virus that could help contain another epidemic. The ReEBOV test, which needs only a fingerprick of blood and gives results in about 15 minutes, was granted Emergency Use Authorization by the World Health Organization (WHO) in February, based on laboratory assessments. Now, data collected from ReEBOV’s use on the ground in Africa have added further evidence of its accuracy.
“This is an important proof-of-principle that the test can really be used in a field setting,” says infectious disease doctor Charles Chiu of the University of California, San Francisco, who was not involved in the study.
Throughout the recent Ebola outbreak, clinicians have relied on PCR-based tests to diagnose cases of the viral disease. The tests require a full vial of blood to be drawn from a patient’s arm and transported to the nearest laboratory facility—which can take hours or days. In the lab, over the course of several hours, a PCR machine amplifies the genetic material in the blood until there is a sufficient amount to detect. In all, the process can take a few days—during which time a patient suspected of carrying Ebola must be quarantined or housed in holding units where they are at risk of infection—and costs about $100, according to WHO.
The newer ReEBOV test, currently manufactured by Colorado-based Corgenix, is like the fingerprick tests used by diabetics to test their blood sugar. Within a few minutes after a drop of blood is placed on a paper strip, a line appears signaling a positive or negative result. Unlike PCR-based tests, which look for the presence of the virus’s genetic material, the ReEBOV test detects antigens: proteins made by the body in response to an Ebola infection. It’s estimated to cost about $15 per test and can easily be performed under tough field conditions.
Over a 2-week span in February, researchers used both the ReEBOV test and a classic PCR-based test on 106 patients who showed up at two clinics in Sierra Leone with suspected Ebola symptoms. In addition, the scientists compared the tests’ performances on 284 previously collected blood samples. The ReEBOV antigen test detected every case of Ebola that was diagnosed using the slower PCR-based test, giving it what the researchers believed was a sensitivity of 100%, they report online today in The Lancet. The test also had a handful of false positives, however, making its specificity 92%.
“We were surprised by the performance,” says Nira Pollock, an infectious disease doctor at Boston Children’s Hospital and an author of the new study. “It was more sensitive than I expected for a rapid antigen diagnostic test.”
But Pollock admits the numbers may be misleading. After the collection of the initial data, the scientists used a second PCR-based test to look at some of the samples. The PCR test they’d been using as a “gold standard,” it turned out, wasn’t itself 100% sensitive, not only highlighting the discrepancy between different PCR-based tests but also casting doubts on their new results. In retrospect, “we think we probably overestimated the sensitivity and underestimated the specificity,” Pollock says. More data are needed to illuminate these numbers, she adds.
A fast, cheap, transportable Ebola test can’t come too soon, researchers say. “This test can be done in very austere environments, even off the back of a truck; it doesn’t require electricity or a sophisticated lab or an experienced technician,” points out Robert Garry, a virologist at Tulane University in New Orleans, Louisiana, who helped develop the technology the test is based on but was not involved in the new trial. “We need to be better prepared for the next Ebola outbreak and I think with this test we will be.”
“Having a rapid diagnostic test in the field would enable earlier identification of an Ebola outbreak,” Chiu adds. “And that could prevent further spread, especially in areas which really don’t have the resources to contain an outbreak.”
*The Ebola Files: Science and Science Translational Medicine have made a collection of research and news articles on the Ebola virus and the current outbreak freely available to researchers and the general public.

In some extra dimension theories with a TeV fundamental Planck scale, black holes could be produced in future collider experiments. Although cross sections can be large, measuring the model parameters is difficult due to the many theoretical uncertainties. Here we discuss those uncertainties and then we study the experimental characteristics of black hole production and decay at a typical detector using the ATLAS detector as a guide. We present a new technique for measuring the temperature of black holes that applies to many models. We apply this technique to a test case with four extra dimensions and, using an estimate of the parton-level production cross section error of 20%, determine the Planck mass to 15% and the number of extra dimensions to ±0.75.

One of the cleverest IF you'll ever play, Nick Montfort's Ad Verbum is a masterpice of wordplay puzzles that has more puns than you can shake a stick at. The game's puzzles are so clever, so well executed, that the storyline becomes a secondary concern.
The game basically is a a treasure hunt: your goal is to collect various objects from different rooms. All puzzles involve numerous variations of clever wordplay, which means you'll need a strong grasp of the English language to win without peeking at the hints. Those whose native language isn't English will still tremendously enjoy the game, though. English is my second language, and I found myself just marvelling at how clever the game is. There are, for example, entire room descriptions that begin with the same letter. To interact with anything in those rooms require that you type commands that begin with the same letter. In an "E" room, for example, you'll have to type EXAMINE instead of LOOK, and ENTER instead of GO THROUGH. Imagine typing a 200-word paragraph in which *every* word begins with an "E," then multiple that by the number of puzzles you'll have to come up with, and the response to player's commands, and you'll appreciate the amount of work and ingenuity that went into the game.
Overall, Ad Verbum is to puzzle-oriented IF as Rameses is to story-oriented IF: great games that excel in what they are, and never pretend to be otherwise. If you love puzzles, especially English-related puzzles, Ad Verbum will keep you occupied for hours, and you will be sad to see it end. Infocom's excellent punnish game Nord and Bert pales besides the mighty pen of Nick Montfort. Beware of the difficult difficult difficult door ;) Two thumbs up!Reviewed by: Underdogs

The Ministry of Health has expressed concern over the widespread use of e-cigarettes and their impact on overall well-being, a sentiment echoed by local authorities who note the role of online advertising in this growing trend.
Among those affected is a 17-year-old named Sum Ra, identifiable by his long blonde hair and extensive tattoos. A product of divorced parents, Ra is the fifth of six siblings.
Having not attended school, he lives with his father in Choeung Ek commune of Phnom Penh’s Dangkor district.
Ra recounted beginning to smoke at 15, initially hiding the habit from his father. Despite having no job or personal income, his addiction escalated to the point where he was buying up to four packets of cigarettes a month.
“Originally, I was smoking regular cigarettes. My friends and I never thought we would become addicted. But now, I am so addicted that I cannot stop. I can’t afford cigarettes right now so I switched to e-cigarettes, which have a sweet taste. Before, my smoking was a secret but now my father is aware of my addiction to vapes,” he says.
The ministry has recently raised alarms regarding the use of e-cigarettes, shisa pipes and other heated tobacco products (HTPs), citing significant health risks associated with them.
The National Authority for Combating Drugs (NACD) has prohibited the import, sale or use of the items.
A hazard to society
A ministry press release dated February 4 emphasised the addictive nature of the devices and their negative impact on public health. It also pointed out the dangers of e-cigarette vapor, highlighting that users inhale hazardous substances, including nicotine and diacetyl – a chemical used for flavouring in foods like buttered popcorn, which can cause severe lung disease.
“Nicotine can be hazardous to unborn children. The substances that enter the lungs can cause cancer and hinder brain development,” it stated.
Ly Sivmey, a clerk from the capital’s Tuol Sangke I commune, believes that both e- and traditional cigarettes are detrimental to human health.
She mentions hearing opinions that vaping might reduce the use of normal cigarettes. However, she advocates for a ban on imports, noting that she often sees youths, not in school uniforms, gathering to smoke them.
“E-cigarettes are not like traditional ones. If they were smoking regular ones, the cigarettes would be burning and it’s difficult to hide a burning cigarette in your hands,” she explains.
“But with vapes, they can be concealed in pockets and palms, making it difficult to notice. Yet, I often see young people using them, and when we do, we have our village security guards advise them not to,” she adds.
Ouk Chanthida, a third-year media and communications student, shares that the ‘vapers’ she spoke to used them as a substitute for rolled cigarettes.
She says they believe that e-cigarettes could help them wean off regular ones, considering them a better option due to the variety of flavours and their appealing taste.
“I have noticed that students frequently use vapes. I’ve even seen them bring vapes to the theatre, which made me uncomfortable.
“As youth, we don’t want to see such acts. When they use them, I know it’s not good and it disappoints me about our society,” she says.
Stance of local community
Sao Chantha, principal of Chea Sim Prek Anchanh High School in Kandal province’s Mok Kampoul district, notes that the adverse effects of e-cigarettes on health have been previously advertised on junior and high school campuses.
He says his school regularly educates students about the impacts of vapes as advised by the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport, and prohibits students from leaving the school during study hours.
“Our school doesn’t have students who use e-cigarettes or traditional cigarettes. I can’t speak for other schools, but I believe they are similar to mine in monitoring and educating students. However, we haven’t seen them using [either one],” he added.
Tuot Roeun, Slaket commune chief in the provincial capital of Battambang province, says the town has issued warnings to youths about the dangers of vape use, disseminating information on their health impacts.
He says local administrations have reached a consensus not to allow students to use e-cigarettes. If students are found using them, they will be told about the health implications.
“We don’t support the use of e-cigarettes, nor do we support regular cigarettes. In my commune, there were youths who used to smoke them, but not anymore, as we have taught them about their effects on health,” he says.
Efforts to curb sales
Meas Vyrith, secretary-general of the NACD, tells The Post that the committee has directed the police to enforce the ban on vapes. However, he says this does not imply that sellers will be arrested.
“We don’t detain them, but we have banned them from conducting this business. If they continue, we have to confiscate the products, including those that are imported,” he explains.
Mom Kong, executive director of the NGO Cambodia Movement for Health (CMH), says e-cigarettes are deliberately designed to attract young people.
He says that despite the government’s long-standing ban, there has been an increase in their use among youths due to aggressive online marketing on social media platforms.
He cites his organisation’s study that reveals most vapers are under the age of 29, with about 85 per cent being students.
Kong explains that although police are instructed to advise smokers, monitoring the large number of users is challenging.
He says the NGO has collaborated with the education ministry to spread awareness on several occasions.
“Even though smoking on school campuses has decreased significantly, students continue to smoke off-campus, such as at coffee shops, public gardens and streets, because it’s easy for them to order online. Therefore, if there are no sellers, I believe the number of buyers will decrease, and the enforcement against e-cigarette importation must be intensified,” he adds.

So I took footage from the film "Baraka" and advertisements I found on Youtube to create this music video for Faithless' song "In the End." I hope you enjoy!
My baby was born in a bed
With white sheets, machines and heat
Traveled home in a car to a three room nest, eats and sleeps
Laminate flooring to crawl on, TV,
Talks, starts to walk, amongst love and security.
Goes to school, learns to read and write
Probably follows a team with his friends
And gets to ride the train,
Fall in love, probably fly on a plane
Get to work all week and spend what he earns
On the high street
He's got doctors, nurses, fireman, churches,
Kindergarten, wedding bells and jet black hearses
Passport, bankcard, maybe his own yard
Locks and alarms, trinkets and charms,
Maybe a baby in his arms
My baby was born on his knees
One of poverty 's offspring
Came into the world coughing,
Already full of mother's disease
Went back to a flat, with no gas, no cash,
Rapped in a duvet full of cigarette ash,
Mama can't get no sleep,
Baby never quite get enough to eat.
Goes to school, learns to steal and fight,
Probably form a team with his friends,
Go steam those trains
Fall in love and never trust nobody again
Gets to work all week standing on the high street for Joe, Hustling blow, hustling blow.
Loading more stuff…
Hmm…it looks like things are taking a while to load. Try again?

Animal rights charities have criticised a controversial project to reduce the number of mink in the north-east and Highlands.
Hundreds of the animal are facing slaughter in a bid to save one of the country’s best-loved mammals – the water vole.
The latter species has suffered a severe decline since the arrival of the American mink, a predator which spread throughout the country in the 20th century.
In response, a project carried out by the Scottish Invasive Species Initiative (SISI) aims to establish and support a network of local organisations and volunteers to engage with their work to remove mink from Aberdeenshire, Moray and the Highland.
Volunteers in these areas will make use of mink monitoring rafts, which feature a clay pad on which the animal leaves its paw prints.
The clay pad on the raft is changed for a live capture trap if mink are found in the area, and the animal is subsequently killed.
However, the decision to cull the creatures has proved controversial.
PETA’s director Elisa Allen said: “Culling is a hideously cruel and ineffective way to manage animal populations.
“Humans introduced mink into the region when we farmed them for their fur, before that horrific industry was made illegal, so the least we can do is find a peaceful, humane solution to a perceived issue that we created in the first place.”
Scottish SPCA chief superintendent Mike Flynn said: “The Scottish SPCA is against the culling of species unless there is a risk to animal or human welfare.
“Mink are a non-native species and their impact can be devastating to wildlife and the environment, so we do understand the need to control the numbers of mink in the wild.
“The culling in this case must be conducted humanely by trained professionals.”
SISI has confirmed it will will carry out the killing of mink in a safe and humane way.
Experts from Scottish Natural Heritage and Aberdeen University are both partnering with the project, and have “extensive” experience in invasive species control work.
The project’s manager, Callum Sinclair, said; “Invasive non-native species, such as American mink are a big threat to the native wildlife of Scotland so it’s crucial we address the problem.
“We can’t deal with this threat on our own, so we are working with volunteers and local communities, asking people to adopt a raft and help us monitor for the invasive non-native American mink.”
Workers would need to visit the raft every couple weeks and check for the tell-tale sign of mink footprints in the clay.

You’ve heard the term and you’ve seen it around, but do you know how easy it is to get the look on your nails?
Ombré, or gradient nail art as it is also commonly known as, is a super easy way to transform an otherwise boring manicure into a “wow, how on earth did you do that” one. This is one of my favourite nail art techniques because I am all about mixing bright, fun colours when creating nail art. I mean, why have one colour when you can have them all? Or three at least.
There’s a fair bit of confusion around the terms and a lot of people argue they are very different. Technically ombré is the fading of a colour to a lighter/darker shade of that same colour (e.g light pink to dark pink) and gradient is the gradual fading of one colour to another (e.g yellow to green and then blue) But I don’t like to get too caught up in technicalities. I think both terms are suitable as I use the same technique to achieve both looks. so I’m not too fussed when people refer to these looks as either “ombre” or “gradient”.
So how do you achieve the look then? Lucky for you I recently created a video tutorial on my YouTube channel, showing you how it’s done. Check it out here:
So what do you think of this nail look? What are your favourite colour combinations for this?
Thanks for reading, chat soon xx


A Poinciana man suspected of operating a grow house made detectives wait while he smoked marijuana before surrendering, officials said.
David Scott Shultz, 32, was arrested Tuesday after deputies executed a search warrant at a home on Reindeer Drive in Poinciana, which they believed was being used to grow marijuana.
According to the Polk County Sheriff's Office, detectives knocked on the door and spoke with Shultz through the closed front door. They identified themselves and told him why he was there, and he refused to open the door, detectives said.
Detectives said they could smell a strong odor of marijuana coming from inside the house. Shultz then told detectives he wanted to smoke a joint before opening the door, officials said.
Shultz eventually opened the door and surrendered without incident.
Detectives said they found three rooms in the house that were being used to grow marijuana. One room contained a nursery with baby plants, a second room had slightly more mature plants and a third bedroom had mature plants with buds.
Detectives seized and destroyed 190 marijuana plants, as well as equipment used to grow marijuana, officials said.
Shultz was arrested on charges of maintaining a dwelling for drug manufacturing, cultivation of cannabis, possession of cannabis with intent to sell and possession of drug paraphernalia.
Detectives said Shultz also had an active warrant for his arrest out of Osceola County for violation of probation. He was booked into the Polk County Jail, where he remains on hold for Osceola County.

CLINTON — The Illinois Attorney General’s office has concluded the DeWitt County Board violated the Illinois Open Meetings Act during its July 22, 2021 meeting.
At issue was an item listed on the July 22 meeting agenda under “New and Old Business: For discussion and possible action,” referring to “Curtailment Agreement.”
No other details pertaining to the item were specified on the agenda, but ultimately, based on that item, the board voted 6-4 to deny further building permits for the Alta Farms II wind energy project until the company could confirm wind turbines would be automatically curtailed during severe weather. “Curtailing” is the practice of slowing the rotation of wind turbine blades. Opponents of the project have cited the potential of spinning turbine blades to interfere with weather radar.
The county later lost a lawsuit filed against it by Enel over the action.
In its determination, the Illinois Attorney General’s Office concluded “the DeWitt County Board violated the OMA (Open Meetings Act) by failing to provide adequate advance notice of action taken during its July 22, 2021, meeting,” Steve Silverman, AG Public Access Bureau Chief wrote in a response sent to DeWitt County Board chairman Terry Ferguson, and Terry Redman, of Wapella, who filed a Request for Review with the AG’s office.
County board member Megan Myers asked that the curtailment item be placed on the July 22 agenda. She told other board members during that meeting she had contacted the AG Public Access Counselor about the item.
In his determination, Silverman wrote, “The board member did discuss the agenda item with the Public Access Counselor after the meeting.”
During the July 22 meeting, board members David Newberg and Jay Wickenhauser warned the board they felt the agenda item was too vague and that a vote should wait for advice from the county state’s attorney.
Other board members felt it was not necessary.
“The agenda item did not indicate that the curtailment agreement related to the wind farm project or that the motion concerned restrictions on building permits or the operation of wind turbines,” Silverman wrote. “A person reviewing the agenda before the meeting would have been deprived of advance notice of the general subject matter of the board’s action to prohibit the issuance of building permits to Alta Farms …”
Silverman noted the judge in the Enel lawsuit found the county exceeded its authority by prohibiting the zoning administrator from issuing building permits.

This uncommon twin hemisphere celestial map is beautifully decorated with clouds in the background and a graceful banner-style title cartouche. The night sky in both the northern and southern Hemispheres is depicted with 1022 stars forming 48 constellations in their human, animal, and object forms. This map is most likely engraved after Sanson, as the majority of the maps in Pufendorf's "L'Histoire Generale et Political, de l'Universe" credit Sanson in the title.

Tortdeform posted an article entitled “The Digitek Recall Shows Us Once Again That the FDA Can’t Protect Us”, detailing the history of the Digitek diaster. A little history, drug maker Actavis produces a drug called Digitek, which is the trade name for the drug digoxin. Digoxin is used to treat various heart conditions, including heart failure. On April 25, 2008, Actavis recalled 160 lots of Digitek, because the company put a double dose of medication in the pills in that lot. This led to people getting double doses and having serious reactions, including reports of deaths related to the medication.
Justinian’s story at Tort Deform outlines the FDA’s reaction or non-action in the case. The FDA inspected the plant in 2006 and found “significant deficiencies” in the quality control unit of the plant, as well as in the manufacturing unit of the plant. The FDA sent a letter outlining its findings to Actavis in April of 2007. A full year before the recall. Justinian sums up the problem as follows:
One has to wonder just how bad the “significant deficiencies” that the FDA found in Actavis’ quality control unit when one considers what the defect was: Some Digitek tablets were twice as thick as they should be. What kind of quality control program can’t spot pills coming out twice as thick as they should? The FDA found that the quality control department was ignoring some defects. Surely they couldn’t have been so incompetent as to ignore a double-thick tablet, could they?

The Neighbourhood project, initiated by the Australian design collective Rinzen, brings artists and designers from all around the world together for an elaborate modern-day version of the game exquisite corpse. Twenty featureless hand-made toys were initially created and then sent out for progressive rounds of re-working, resulting in a sequence of characters which morphed as the toys were embellished and reconstructed by the designers who at times made strong sweeping changes and at other times gently evolved the characters' designs and shapes. The participants were free to use a myriad of techniques stitching, painting, drawing, limb removal/addition, accessorizing, etc. to create their version of the toy. Upon completion, the toys were returned for photographic documentation and then passed on to the next participant for an ensuing round. The end result is a triumph through the international postal service with 80 characters emerging complete with their own names and personalities.

I love this book Dec 24, 2007
Great concept, well executed. Watching the toys evolve from artist is interesting, funny, and sometimes plain weird.
Brilliant Feb 19, 2007
This is a wonderful, fun, creative book. It's about this collaborative art project wheere the organizers made a series of plain, blank stuffed animals and sent them all over the world to different artists. Each artist would modify it and send it on, like a round robin. The organizers took wonderful pictures and collected comments at every stage.
Everyone I show this book to follows in love. It's absolutely wonderful.

There was something very interesting about Friday night’s new episode of “Fringe” in that it took most of the grand themes and massive hype surrounding the whole idea of saving the future, and while it did not necessarily throw all of these out the window, it did opt instead to focus the story in on some smaller moments where the characters could shine … in particular a daughter of Peter and Olivia who is far from being the most innocent little girl in the world.
So what was young Etta really up to during this episode? To be frank, the best way to explain it is that she spent her time torturing a man using some crazy and horrifying piece of equipment that managed to age him in front of our very eyes. This was completely awesome to watch, and we were actually a little disappointed, strange as it may seem, to see her parents try and get her to ease up a little bit. This really felt like a similar problem we had with the final season of “Chuck” or “Weeds,” where the producers felt a little too desperate to wrap up a story knowing that they had to get on to the next thing. It would have been better to scale back on a few things down the road just so that we could have seen more of a gradual transformation here,
As for what some of these stories coming up will be, it looks like Fringe Division is going to be on a series of fetch quests in order to complete the videotapes left behind by Walter, who is now useless with much of his memory gone. We’re exciting for this story, but also skeptical. Really, it all depends on how the producers decide to execute this. It could come across as really cool, but it’s a risky proposition if the stories to find these tapes are not tied together closely enough.
What did you think about this episode? If you want to see what Anna Torv has to say about some possibilities for the show’s series finale, all you have to do is read the story that is up over at the link here.

Loved it! Our guide was amazing! This was my son's first time snorkeling and our guide helped him thru it! Highly recommend this!
Our group of 8 truly enjoyed this jam-packed, amazing excursion. Our only suggestion is to be sure to allow for the difference between cruise ship time and local Cozumel time when booking. We ended up racing to the ship at the end of the day with minutes to spare. Had we accounted for the difference in local vs. ship time, we would have selected the earlier offered excursion time slot to allow enough time to shop the local merchants before re-boarding....without the need to sprint to the ship. BTW: The beach lunch was exceptional!
Great tour! A beautiful drive to the park to see the lighthouse. We saw crocodiles, coati mundi and Mayan ruins. Lunch and snorkeling at a beautiful beach followed by stop to see how tequila is made, complete with plenty of samples. We got back to the docks in time for plenty of shopping before boarding our ship. We definitely recommend this one!
This is a great way to see the island! Absolutely loved the jeep tour - although our jeep kept have clutch problems, the guide was able to fix the issue quickly. The snorkeling was good but we didn't see a great deal. It was very tiring as the undercurrent was a little rough on the day we went. The tour finished with a tour of a tequila facility. What a fantastic way to end the day. Be prepared to have some of the best tequila you have ever tasted!
What a great day! We weren't able to snorkel due to sea conditions, but everything else was perfect and our guide was fantastic. Highly recommend!
This was an incredible way to see Cozumel. I have been many times over the past 25 years and this by far was the most memorable. Phillipe was our tour guide and he did a phenomenal job. We had four teenagers with us and they couldn't stop talking about what a great day we had had. Punta Sur was breathtaking. The snorkeling was perfect. Lunch at the end of the day was at a stunning beachside restaurant and was ready for us upon arrival as Phillipe called it in. The jeeps were a lot of fun and in great condition. 5 STARS!!!
Our tour guide, Felipe, on our adventure of snorkeling, he pointed out many exotic sea creatures. The jeep rides were very fun to drive around, and the Mexican lunch was delicious, we had a wonderful time.
The Guide was over the top and extremely attentive. It took a walk and a half but it was worth it. Hardest thing was to get out of the hammock
It was more than expected. Our guide Ernie was great. He let us move about freely and joined us when needed. He was very pleasant and personable. GREAT TIME!!!!
So much better and less expensive than any excursion the cruise ship offers. It was completely customized to us. Went out to a great reef for snorkeling and it was amazing. Had a great lunch. Stopped for a tequila tasting. This is the way to go. Only reservation is that you have to be able to drive a stick shift.
The snorkeling was great and we went on for a while. The clouds came in and it made it hard to see for a bit but once the sun returned you could see beautiful fish. The jeep did have some issues our hood popped up while we were driving, but I loved the ride. Punta Sur is a pretty park and is huge, there was a tequila tasting as well when you go to the lighthouse. The lunch we delicious and the guacamole was fresh.
Excellent tour! We party of 6 had a great time, we saw allot! enjoyed the water and had a good lunch!
Great Family Getaway!!! Our guide, Felipe, was awesome! He met us at the hotel, was cordial, polite, accommodating and very knowledgeable about the history of the island. Convenient access to the jeep. We saw most of the island, went all through the preserve, which is approximately half the island. Beautiful views of the ocean all along the way. We saw a wild crocodile. We toured the lighthouse. We went to a delightful beach destination with hammocks, drinks, etc. Felipe hooked us up with quality snorkeling gear, and took us out to a reef just off shore. Saw beautiful fish, crabs, sting rays, etc. Felipe pulled our 8 year-old on a tether so the parents got to enjoy the snorkeling too, rather than just corralling the little one. Showered up, changed clothes and drove down the way to another beautiful beach location for an authentic Mexican dinner next to the beach...very scenic with the clear water and gentle waves breaking near the beach. Several shopping opportunities along the way. We even had a little rain on the way back, but we were all just laughing. It made it more fun and memorable. The drive back through the island goes through the heart of the city so you see the non-touristy areas too. Was worth the money. Felipe was a great guide. Highly recommended. Price was much cheaper than the cruise ship version.
This experience was amazing. We were able to travel through most of the island and talk to our guide who was a local. The only thing I didn't like was the price for the tequila on the tequila tour. When I got back at home I noticed it was also on sale online. Other than that, everything was awesome.
It was better than I expected! I loved the keep toir and the snorkeling and the surprise stop to the lighthouse. Miguel was the best! The only downside was that we didnt know their were no automatic transmissions. Thankfully one of us in oir groip could drive a stick so we had to be in one jeep
We had a great time!!!!!!! Our tour guide Tino was terrific. Tino was informative, helpful, great company, and managed to keep me alive while we were snorkeling. We enjoyed every bit of the adventure...Thanks
This is a must if you are visiting Cozumel. Not only are the guides super friendly and make the trip fun, but u truly get a taste of what the island has to offer. On this tour, you drive a jeep while following your guide around the island. It's the best way to see the island w/o the sun roasting u
This tour is a great option to explore the Island, you get a little bit of everything, beach, view, food and adventure.
We had a great time! Maybe it could include some more Mayan ruins during our way, but unforgettable anyway!
All the other jeeps in the caravan had families or groups and after taking a look at my husband and myself, Moses decided to place us in the jeep with Phillipe, herding the others from the rear. It turned out perfectly for us, since I could drive the stick shift but didn't know how to put it into 4-wheel drive. I was worried about mud, as it had rained during the first part of the tour, but we never had to go into 4-wheel drive at all.
The national park was fantastically beautiful as the sun came out and everything had been washed clean. Phillipe was a terrific guide, showing us the wildlife and telling the history of the small building in the park used as a weather station. And the snorkeling was also amazing. Lots of fish, anemones, a huge lobster.
The food at the small restaurant afterward wasn't that great, but we were so hungry after the snorkeling, we would have eaten anything. There was a small group playing Mexican music when we arrived but they left while we were eating - I would have liked to have given them a tip.
We then drove along the coast, admiring the gorgeous vistas and then turned inland to stop at the tequila factory. I had no intention of buying tequila but when I tasted the "medicinal" tequila with almond oil, I knew I had to get it for my health. Amazing taste!
What a great day we had and this was the highlight of the entire cruise.
The excursion was great. It was a small group of 10. It was nice when we saw the other tours with many more people, we knew we made the right decision by choosing this tour. The guide was great he made sure we were all having a great time. Would definitely recommend it.
The tour was great and our guides Phillip and Alberto were even greater.
We would recommend them to everyone. We might go back just to see them.
What an amazing experience! From start to finish, they guide and company made the process smooth and very enjoyable. Jeeps were in great shape and fun to drive. Snorkeling was amazing! Very professional staff and a 5 star experience!
Awesome! Jose and Bobby were both great. We have already referred some friends to use them who are going to Cozumel in the coming months. We truly enjoyed ourselves.
Great tour guide! He was really knowledgable and caring. I personally don't know how to swim, he explained step by step about how to snorkel. He also swam and held onto me the entire time. The tour in cozumel was awesome with great information of maya culture!

Ronan. May is officially here and I’m trying my best not to go into freak out mode. You know what is coming up and it never gets easier. May 9th will be 3 years without you and May 12th will be your 7th birthday. Not to mention Mother’s Day, the day we had your funeral, the day you were cremated, which also happens to be on your birthday. It’s all these fucked up dates that I wish didn’t exist, but they do and there is no escaping them. I will come up with some sort of plan to get through the days like I always do and luckily I know we will be with some of my most favorite people, so hopefully that will help ease the pain just a bit, but every part of me remembers the pain of these dates.
I don’t even know what has happened since the last time I have written. My days are filled with all things Poppy and that is about it. I have really taken a step back from everything in life because for the past year, I just really needed to get lost in her and that is exactly what I have been doing. She deserved that, Ronan and frankly, so did I. I needed to just take this time and soak up all of her innocence, sweetness, and truly get to know my baby girl. Poppy doesn’t have a lovie or a blanket that she is attached to when she sleeps like you did because you know what she uses instead? Me. I have not put her in her crib once to sleep, not even for a nap. I rock her, lay her down in bed with me and listen to her as she hums and plays with the necklace that sweet Mrs. Martin gave to me when Poppy was born. It’s just the letter, “P” and she falls asleep every day and every night by holding on to me and my necklace. That is how attached we have become and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I cannot imagine doing this life without you AND without her. I don’t know what I would have done had we had not had another baby. She brings about me a calmness that has been missing for so long.
It did happen the other day though. The thing I knew was going to happen sooner or later; I am just surprised it happened while she is so young. It was about a week after her first birthday and I was laying her down to change her on your bed. We have that huge picture of you hanging over your bed and as I was putting a new diaper on her she looked over at your picture, pointed and goes “Ro Ro.”
I almost fell over. I truly thought I was hearing things so I said, “What did you say?” She looked at me, pointed to the picture and goes, “Ro Ro. Brotha. Brotha Ro Ro Ro.” She motioned for me to pick her up and take her over to your picture so I did and she planted a big fat kiss on your little lips. The tears started pouring down my cheeks and I had such a mixed reaction of total euphoria and wanting to run kicking and screaming out of our house. It took me a few minutes to decide what it is that I was going to do. Was I going to run away or just take a deep breath and embrace this moment of pure fucking amazingness that can only be explained as Poppy knows things that are not from this world? She can’t even say Liam or Quinn’s name yet and the fact that she not only said your name, but knows who you are from a picture makes my heart go a million miles a minute. As soon as Quinn and Liam got home, I grabbed Poppy and took them into your room. I said, “Watch this. Poppy, who is that on the picture?” as I pointed to you. She goes, “Ro Ro.” Quinn started giggling uncontrollably and Liam didn’t quite know what to do. “She just said, Ro Ro! Mom! Did you hear that?!” Quinn was jumping around with such excitement.
It’s been non-stop since that started a few weeks ago. All day long all I hear, besides her barking like a dog is “Ro Ro Ro Ro. Brotha Ro Ro.” She is usually walking around carrying a picture of you, kisses it, and goes back to playing with something else. She also studies the picture frame you are in like crazy, trying her best to open it. It’s like she’s saying, “I know if I get this open, I can get him out and he can come and play with me.” I truly think that is what she thinks. Oh, how I wish this were true. I’m torn between loving all of this so much to sometimes it makes me sick. As I said to your Sparkly the other day, “I’m going to break Poppy’s heart one day when I have to explain to her where Ronan is and what happened to him. I don’t want to break her heart. How am I going to look my daughter in the eyes and have that conversation with her?” The thought of it makes me want to vomit all over the floor. Why the fuck can’t her first heartbreak be over some asshole guy she will date when she is 16? Not over her beautiful brother that would have loved her so much, taken such good care of her and beat up the fuckwad who broke her heart? I like that story much better than the one I’m going to have to tell her.
I think I have to go now, Ro. Much more to say as always but my eyes are burning and bed is calling my name. I’m forever sorry it is this way. I miss you. I love you. I hope you are safe.

The Southwestern Frontier 1865-1881. A History of the coming of the Settlers, Indian Depredations and Massacres, ranching Activities, Operations of White Desperadoes and Thieves, Government Protections, Building of Railways, and the disappearence of the F
Publisher: Arthur H Clark Company
336 pages with frontispiece foldout map, illustrations, maps, bibliography and index. Royal octavo (9 1/2" x 6 1/2") bound in original burgundy cloth with gilt lettering to spine. First edition.
When the Civil War came to a close in 1865, immigrants began to turn their thoughts toward the unoccupied lands of the West. Of the great stretches of rich plains subject to cultivation, no region was more inviting than that known as the Southwest, embracing the vast hills and plains of the Indian Territory, Texas and New Mexico. The traders of the Santa Fe Trail had long since told of the opportunities to be found in this region. Although the Southwest was pregnant with its possibilities, there were many problems to be solved, and much work to be done, before it could become the land of prosperous communities. the pioneers in their scattered settlements were promised only hardships and social isolation in paving the way for future development. the lack of good roads and means of communication made it difficult to keep in touch with the settlements father east. In this volume the author has attempted to described the frontier of the southwest before and after the Civil war. With the opportunities of development here after this great struggle, he has attempted to show how government sought to protect the frontier interest of the state when the attention of the federal authorities was direct to its needs. the policy put into operation was a defensive one, with the exception of Sheridan's winter campaign of 1868 against the Cheyenne, Comanche and Kiowa of the Washita country. It is shown how the federal military policy lacked cohesion. When summary punishment was inflicted on the Indians, and they were forced to give up their claims, the ranchers and farmers occupied the land. Paving the way to this new era came the destruction of the buffaloes, building of railways and the abandonment of frontier posts. This changing order is discussed in the closing chapters.

How to Avoid Getting Addicted to Painkillers – Painkillers are effective. When you have throbbing pain in your body, you need a pain killer, and it will go away. It’s the reason why many people turn to these drugs to feel better. The problem is that even when the problem already went away, some people continue using the drugs. It can be addictive, and you don’t want to face that problem. Here are some tips to avoid pain killer addiction.
Follow the prescription
If your doctor tells you to take the medication once a day, you should stick to it. Even if you feel bad later, you can’t go to your medicine cabinet and get one more. Doctors already know what your body needs, and you can’t go beyond the prescription.
Take painkillers earlier on
Another way to avoid getting addicted is by asking for help earlier on. Some people wait until the symptoms worsen before they go to the doctor and ask for a prescription. By then, the body needs more painkillers for the pain to go away. It also requires a longer time to medicate. It’s a reason why some people get addicted. If you start feeling pain in some areas of your body, you should see a doctor.
Notice the signs of addiction
Signs are telling you that you already start getting addicted. When you go to different doctors to get a prescription, it’s a bad thing. It shows that you don’t want to face reality and would instead go to another doctor to get the pill. When you lie about your medical condition, it’s also another sign. Being desperate to get what you need is the start of your addiction.
Notice the changes in your body
You started to take painkillers because of physical pain. Sometimes you continue taking painkillers even if the pain has already gone. If you keep going, it’s no longer physical pain that makes you want to take more. You might have mental health issues. Seek help from experts right away. Many people die of addiction since they decided against asking for help.
Some people feel embarrassed to admit that they got addicted to painkillers. There’s no shame if you ended up on that path. As long as you admit it and ask for help, you can still recover. Mental health experts will take you to the road to recovery. You might also undergo therapy to help you forget drug dependence.
Next time, you have to be more careful with what you take. Even simple drugs like tablets for fungal nail infection require caution. If possible, ask for a prescription for pills before taking them. Avoid self-medication. You can’t rely on everything you read online, including videos from people who pretend to be experts in medicine.
The opioid crisis remains a problem in various parts of the world. You might feel ashamed about your decisions, but it’s never too late to ask for help. You can still recover and not get addicted to the pill.
