African- American Photographer/Cinematographer John Simmons: is currently available for interview. b. 1950, Simmons grew up in Chicago, USA. The now LA based Simmons’s passion for photography began when he was about 7 years old. All thanks to one day, when a man came over to his home to shoot a family portrait, and as he would finish with one roll of film, he would it hand over to the young impressionable Simmons to put in the canister.
The way the photographer went about his business appeared like magic to the 7-year-old Simmons. As he kept putting each roll of film into the canister, Simmons was intrigued by the story behind it, how a photograph could capture and immortalize life’s single moment. He impatiently waited to see the developed images.
It was not until 1965 that Simmons got really into snapping life’s moments. John had a friend called Louie Sengstacke; his older brother was Robert "Bobby" Sengstacke an incredible photographer who took pictures for The Chicago Defender which the Sengstacke family owned. Historically, it is considered the
"most important" paper of what was then known as the colored or Negro press, the most prominent and historically significant African American newspaper in the U.S.A.
Established in 1906, The Chicago Defender newspaper is the oldest black-owned publication in the country. Simmons’s interest in photography meant naturally he would befriend Bobby, who became his mentor and in time took him to the darkroom where the photos were being developed.
Simmons would watch as Bobby printed the pictures, while Jazz music was playing in the background, one day he borrowed a camera from Bobby and went out taking snaps just for the thrill.
Later, when Bobby developed what Simmons took at the convention, they were both impressed by the mastery of the work. At that point in time, Bobby gave him a copy of The Sweet Flypaper of Life by Langston Hughes containing pictures taken by Roy DeCarava. John fast proved his ability as a capable and talented photographer, joining the Defender as a very young staff photographer with Bobby’s approval.
When Bobby showed Simmons work by Gordon Parks, Henri Cartier-Bresson, Roy Lewis, Bill Abernathy, and James Van der Zee, among others. It was at that moment when Simmons realized he loved candid street photography. All the photographers he looked up to were taking shots in black and white, and he borrowed that tradition. As time went by, with Simmons’s eyes behind the camera, he fell deeper in love with black and white photography and perfected his craft.
To Simmons, a black and white shot “complimented the narrative” of what he was seeing, and that was his passion — taking photos with a story behind it. Each time he would take a picture, he would apply all his life experiences into capturing a perfect picture of the moment. He said: “As time went by, I began feel that black and white was more direct. ...I always strive to make images that tell a story. Every time
I take a picture, I bring my entire life experience to that moment. Every click of the shutter is a totality of the music I’ve heard the, the love and pain I’ve seen and lived and has shaped the way I see”.
Each click of the camera’s shutter was like new “music” he had never heard before, singing the love and pain he has seen, lived through, and shaped how he viewed the world. Decades later as a working cinematographer, and two Emmys behind him Simmons has started exhibiting the photographs he has taken over the last 40 years. His most recent exhibition is on at the Museum of African American Art “No Crystal Stair: The Photography of John Simmons.” 2019 Los Angeles.

For Nicky, Ricky, Dicky & Dawn, Simmons earned an Emmy for Outstanding Cinematography for a Multi Camera Series in 2016. He earned another two Emmy nominations for his work on Pair of Kings in 2011 and 2012. In 2019, he was a key part of the Los Angeles Area Emmy-winning creative team behind the PBS SoCal documentary project Finding Home: A Foster Youth Story, which chronicles the lives of teens preparing to begin new lives outside the foster care system.

When Marion Garver arrives at the Thorne mansion, her presence sets into motion a downward spiral of one of the most prominent families in Virginia.
While her dear father lay dying, Marion's mother informs her that their desperate situation calls for an even more desperate measure. Her mother tells her she must assume a fake last name and accept a governess position with the Thorne’s, a mysterious family whose patriarch, Gabriel, is known around town for his taste in fine tobacco and his ferocious temper. Everyone suspects Gabriel may be responsible for his young wife’s death years before. After delving further into the dark history of the family, Marion not only believes the suspicions but begins to unearth secrets of her own: why her mother made her assume a fake last name, what happened between her family and the Thorne’s years before, and even the true identity of Thorne’s eldest son, Loren.
Armed with these disturbing truths, Marion must decide where to turn. Should she stay with the Thorne’s and risk her own life in order to save her family? Or should she escape the twisting trap that binds her at the Thorne estate and return home, leaving behind the promise of a new love and guaranteeing her family’s destruction?
Her final decision is one that echoes with tragedy; a decision that will haunt them all forever.

Some ways you can attract more and better submissions include:
1) Attach an extra payment (say $10) to the best poem and/or story in each issue. You can pick it yourself, but letting your readership vote on it will get them more involved.
2) Attach a somewhat bigger payment (say $20) to the best poem and/or story of the year. That one you want to let people vote on for sure.
3) Put a PayPal donation button after each poem or story. Split the proceeds with the author. (If you notice certain authors consistently drawing higher donations, buy more stuff from them: they're pleasing your audience.) This encourages audience participation, generates money for your magazine, and effectively raises pay rates without it coming out of your budget. The Lorelei Signal has gotten great results from this.
4) Join some organizations and talk about them in the magazine. Good choices include the Science Fiction Poetry Association, Broad Universe, Carl Brandon Society, and Horror Writers Association. It'll catch the eye of fellow members and encourage them to submit to your magazine.
5) Look up a bunch of awards that have entry requirements your magazine could meet. Frex, the Rhysling Award for speculative poetry accepts nominations from all SFPA members. You can't nominate your own poem, but you can nominate one you bought as an editor! The James Tiptree, Jr. Award for gender issues in speculative fiction is one that explicitly encourages editors to submit noteworthy stories they've published. Follow the guidelines and nominate poems and stories from your magazine. Also do occasional features about an award whose nomination period is approaching, and encourage your audience to participate. This doesn't cost you a dime but helps attract attention -- especially if one of the items actually wins. Always make a big deal of announcing award-related news.
6) If you sell advertising, offer free ad space to contributors. Keep ads together and relevant to your magazine's topic, so they're not in readers' way, and they're actually useful to your readers as well as an asset to your budget.
7) Mention in your submission guidelines that you do all these things. The chance of making extra money, earning "best of" recognition, or getting an award nomination may hike your magazine above others in the "token payment" category.
8) Keep an eye on your budget. Most magazines don't make money, especially at first. If/when you start turning a profit, roll some of it back into the magazine by boosting your pay rates. Higher pay helps attract better, more experienced contributors.
9) Network with enthusiasm. Encourage contributors to link back to your magazine if they announce elsewhere that their work has been published. Set up an email list which is open only to your magazine's staff and contributors, where you can post calls for submissions and where contributors can talk about upcoming projects. Strange Horizons has an especially good contributors' list. This encourages authors to keep sending you new stuff. Offer a simple flyer that people can print out to put on freebie tables at conventions or other events -- and include a space where authors can write in the title of their item that you published.
10) Treat all authors as potential professionals. If you expect great things of them, most will live up to your expectations. Be polite, respectful, and encouraging. If you have time to give feedback, even a few words can make a big difference. (This is an absurdly easy way to rack up huge amounts of brownie points, because many editors are rude or dismissive to writers.) Especially watch for "almost good enough" submissions and encourage the author to try again. An author who makes their first sale to you will almost always keep submitting to your magazine ... and will gain experience and quality over time.

Crossing Guard: Whitney Durfee
Being a crossing guard means helping your community and keeping kids safe, but sometimes it includes close calls and danger. The last thing anyone wants is for a crossing guard or a child to be in harm’s way. That’s why we are talking to Whitney, a crossing guard from Vineyard, Utah, who can give us a little more insight and share tips to make school zones safer.
Three Ways To Focus On Safety
Being a kid right now is not the same as it was 10 years ago or more. Kids are inundated with so many distractions and it’s hard for them to know what to focus on. If we’re being honest, the same goes for adults most of the time too. Being able to focus as a driver or a pedestrian is crucial to safety. Because we’ve seen an uptick in pedestrian crashes, we think it’s a good time to talk about three ways to focus while walking or biking.
How To Talk With Your Kids About Pedestrian Safety
How often do you talk to your kids about pedestrian safety? It’s one of those topics that needs addressing but doesn’t always have a natural introduction. But when it comes to your child’s safety, it’s worth having the conversation and having it often.
There is growing concern in Utah and across the nation about the safety of children who walk or bike to school. With increased traffic congestion around schools, students who choose to walk or bike have limited safe routes, which discourages this healthy activity.
The main goal of the Safe Routes Grants program is to encourage and assist students living within 1.5-2 miles to safely walk or bike to school. Available grant funding can be used for projects that include non-infrastructure; e.g. education and encouragement, and infrastructure physical improvements; new sidewalks, school pavement markings, signage, bicycle parking, etc.
For questions, please email Travis Evans, Active Transportation Safety Program Manager or call 801-965-4486.

The island appeared in the playa –
a thick family of vegetation in sand
as if risen from the undulation of blued snow over
grasses, purple. Huddling
through time, as bodies green and dark
in me knew better, yet compelled me
to run from the tall thick house
where I lay resting
and take refuge from the wind
where wind blew.
In a whistle, I heard a thin animal sound air on water
shoving me from solace,
all solace temporary, all shoves precipitated
Was this the pattern of chasing again? The ancestors driving me, wanting me to know
all places are home? –
or was safety truly in question again?
a hawk flew down or through me to wipe the nearness of the sky
I wondered if, where you were, the fog made mention of me,
the wind elated itself upon your thinning windows,
a screen door blew open to announce unsettled daughters,
alive with the earth, making their way home.
The coyote paused deer-like on the playa,
then disappeared into the vegetation.
it was not unwanted vegetation, being
what it was.
I was undone, or made of
the fenceposts leaning without their agenda,
the animals turning into one another
without notice or permission,
the sky bending what a sky is
when it touches earth.
Some places, the day wants only to melt
you, to sink teeth into unbitten thoughts of horizon. To shadow
you didn’t know you had
in your body, the old ancestral encampments that had been
voided, now covered
in fruiting vines. You will not work now,
your ambitions are a compost heap.
Some places, the sky has other agendas than looking
like a sky—
like who of you could tell me
what was human, let alone
woman, let alone me.
I suppose the coyote, when it moved behind
the green, went somewhere else
entirely, just as I did
when I left this place before me.
Rare Anchor in A Landscape
after John Cage
Weight lifted from the field,
then dove. Darkened tawny stalks
slept in answer, spots on the horizon
of a sky I thought I remembered,
though night was new. Small
mechanizations of flight
perceived my road. Mice, unseen,
lived there, in habitats
I could not find
a home. Sun in pools and divots
skyscrapers. A train of capture or of carry.
When interruption took me
from the fluid image,
I remembered Cage loving sound
Incident met incident
at intersections of color
and time, expansions or deletions.
In every mundane glare, I found divinity
or war. As I looked up
into the rotation,
a plane thought of me, too; a resident
of shadow. I too
wanted to cast shadow. I, skyscrapering
bright sorry attempts at thought,
none of which
I knew, none of which
were really mine, born as they were
of light or blue ringlets of noise
where I was, was I
I was, was I
where I was
was I, I thought
we wore our shadows.
the water milking herself beyond
distances we wanted to know.
we walked, but place had a way
of extending herself.
i drooped in the evening
with no one outside of me. there were others,
but the compartments of our living
spaced out by grass
and dust. I rubbed dust all over me
and kissed the bottom of the hours
where she lived, put her in my hat
and pockets for safe keeping.
that is how I came to be known, when I left,
or emerged from here, as
I snow on trouble from above. or I weight
without form upon a life born
means a whiteness, an unmarked or unmarkable
concern, a picket fence. don’t startle lovers
by building structures in this place.
dust carries too much meaning—
don’t weep on Epoch’s side, or carry spleens
of snaffled tears, other states
of living. extinction was inevitable—
as chosen as life itself, as chosen as
the correct hat, as chosen as breath
between two bodies who act out
as chosen as: I napped instead of walking up the mountain;
as chosen as: I wore the proper
subtlety when arriving on the hillside, finally,
greeting who was there;
as chosen as who was there, as chosen as who I decided to be
in the mirror; as the moment I slammed
the window on the now-dead fly, as chosen
as life itself.

By Matt Howarth.
Matt Howarth is best known for his The Annoying Post Bros series. The protagonists there run around different universes killing people and having fun. I never quite warmed up to that concept, although I’ve probably read most of the issues by now.
These comics, on the other hand, center mostly around a government agent, Keif Llama, who goes around various planets fixing problems with the locals. (Or rather, in most of the stories it turns out that the problem is An Evil Corporation, and she fixes the problem on behalf of the locals.)
But there’s a lot to enjoy here.
Howarth’s artwork can be uneven, but there’s something about the way he piles up all these textures next to each other that’s really attractive. Cross-hatching every which way… It’s pretty neat.
Back in the mid 80s, Fantagraphics was publishing quite a lot of genre books in addition to their more serious ones. A few years ago, somebody wrote an article about how this “ground level” kind of work had just disappeared: On the one hand, there was super-heroes, horror and porn (and porno super-hero horror), and on the other hand, you had serious literary stuff.
The fun, non-insulting genre stuff had gone away. But the past few years has seen a revival of sorts — mostly over at Saga Comics. I mean Image Comics, as they probably formally call themselves. (Prophet, Saga, Descender, Saga, Southern Cross, Saga, Saga.) But it’s all a bit more soap opera like and a bit more serious than this:
Fight scene! That’s the way to do it.
I’m quite taken with his way of (sometimes) just describing what the words would have been. And last but not least: All the aliens. The aliens are really great.
How can you not love these stampeding aliens?
And from the moebius strip strip, where everybody’s waiting in an infinite line:
However, the stories are problematic. More than a few of them end with a sense of “Huh? That’s the end? Did I miss something?” And most of them feature a genocide of some sort or another. After a while, it starts grating on you, just like it does in the more thoroughly violent Post Bros book.
After six magazine-sized issues, the title changed, and the format was reduced, and refocused entirely on Keif Llama. (The name is apparently a pun on “Keith Laumer”, who also wrote sci-fi short stories about bureaucrats who travels around various planets fixing problems.)
Howarth’s colouring technique is pretty special:
Instead of first colouring, and then separating the colours before printing, he consistently does the colouring directly on separate layers. This means that he’s really drawing each cover four times over, once in each colour. (I mean, he’s really drawing in black and white and imagining how it’ll all look when it’s printed in the four colour press.) It’s a pretty unique look.
Like I said earlier, the artwork is frustratingly uneven. Some pages are great, an on other pages he just drops the backgrounds:
And the plots… Oh, dear. Here’s a pretty bad one:
They go into a null field (used to shield the craft from radiation) to enjoy the darkness, and then it turns out that the button to open the door doesn’t work, because it’s a null field and nothing much can exit or enter the field. The engineers who built it didn’t think of that.
Anyway, the Keif Llama book lasted for six issues.
Matt Howarths is still publishing comics, but mostly self-publishing in digital form. I have not read any of the digital publications, but looking at the catalogue, I see several things that look attractive. And I’ve got a tablet to read them on, so I think I’ll give them a whirl.
[Edit: I just did, and it’s a kinda wonky interface. These are DRM-free PDFs, which is good, but the one I bought is formatted as five-page PDFs inside a ZIP file. And they can’t be concatenated, because they’re “encrypted”. I can read them fine on the laptop, but I don’t want to be futzing around on the tablet with all these small files… Disappointing.]
He does make enjoyable comics, even if they are a bit annoying at times.
This post is part of the Fantagraphics Floppies series.

Home on the range(land): ranches, parks, and biodiversity
Rancher Tim Koopmann began the meeting by emphasizing the importance of working partnerships between ranchers and resource managers. “We [ranchers] graze for optimum resource enhancement” Koopmann reminded participants.
Dr. Grey Hayes, coordinator of Elkhorn Slough Coastal Training program, kicked off the day’s presentation with the provocative question: Why do we care about California’s coastal prairie? Hayes argued that California’s coastal grasslands are economically, socially and environmentally important ecosystems for reasons that all participants and community members could rally behind. Grasslands provide, among other services: erosion control, agricultural production, tourism, conservation, and habitat.
Researchers shared results illustrating the impacts of grassland conversion to shrubland on rare plant, bird, and butterfly populations and habitat succession. In many cases, removing grazing led to decreased, shifted, or altogether missing populations. For example, PRNS staff described how exclusion of grazing from a population of the federally endangered Sonoma shortawn foxtail (Alopecurus aequalis var. sonomensis) led to the demise of that population, and researchers’ presentations explained how grazing benefits grassland birds and rare butterflies by maintaining the grassland habitat and preventing buildup of too much biomass. Every study presented suggested that a “one-size-fits-all” management plan won’t work, and that ranchers and land managers will benefit from one-on-one, site-specific recommendations.
Speakers explained that PRNS is part of California’s Mediterranean coastal climate, which is one of the most biodiverse places on the planet with acres of working agricultural landscapes. Devii Rao, Rangeland Management Specialist for Point Reyes National Seashore, described the inspiring knowledge and history of the land present in the ranching community in Point Reyes. Rao’s goals for the meeting were to find win-win outcomes for the park service and ranchers that preserve the physical attributes and features, contribute to historic districts, support historic dairy and beef ranching, and enhance traditional cultural associations with land and the ranching community. She also hoped all participants would gain a better understanding of what creates a good balance between grassland and shrubland.
John Taylor of Bivalve Dairy also shared his experience with brush control and emphasized that “If you take away something from the pasture, something will come back in its place.” He urges ranchers and land managers to replace the shrubs with something they would like to be there. Taylor has ripped out, chipped and burned the coyote brush on his dairy. Taylor concluded that “It all comes down to having a plan” based on your forage needs.
Burning was discussed as a potential strategy for managing shrubs where grazing is not feasible or sufficient, but it must be done properly and with good control measures.
Participants walked away with a renewed sense of the importance of grassland and coastal prairie habitat and resources, as well as the challenges of shrub management for ranchers and other land managers. Participants emphasized the need for better community education and understanding of grazing as an important land and shrub management tool. The details of when, how and where grazing should be used are not always clear. It is clear, however, that the future for Marin County working landscapes including Point Reyes National Seashore will continue to be dotted with grazing animals munching away for “optimum resource enhancement.”

The Biden-Harris Administration has announced the launch of Freight Logistics Optimization Works (FLOW) to enhance information exchange throughout the US supply chain.
The initiative will see 18 initial participants work alongside the White House to develop a proof-of-concept information exchange to ease supply chain congestion, speed up the movement of goods, and cut costs for American consumers.
“The lack of digital infrastructure and transparency makes our supply chains brittle and unable to adapt when faced with a shock,” said the Biden-Harris Administration in a media briefing.
“The goods movement chain is almost entirely privately operated and spans shipping lines, ports, terminal operators, truckers, railroads, warehouses, and cargo owners such as retailers.
“These different actors have made great strides in digitising their own internal operations, but they do not always exchange information with each other.
“This lack of information exchange can cause delays as cargo moves from one part of the supply chain to another, driving up costs and increasing goods movement fragility.”
The US Department of Transport (DOT) will lead the initiative, bringing supply chain stakeholders together to problem solve and overcome coordination challenges.
In order to gauge additional interest as the initiative grows, DOT will also launch an official webpage.
The initial phase of FLOW aims to produce a proof-of-concept freight information exchange by the end of this summer.
The announcement seeks to build upon the previous achievements of the Biden-Harris Supply Chain Disruptions Task Force. This includes reducing dwell time in Los Angeles and Long Beach and alleviating congestion at the Port of Savannah.

Ariz Khan was present at Batla House, along with four others, and had managed to escape during the encounter with Delhi Police on September 19, 2008 in Delhi's Jamia Nagar
Ariz Khan had helped put together bombs for serial terror attacks. The serial bombings took place between 2007, 2008 in several cities. Ariz Khan was also trying to revive Indian Mujahideen, police said
Ariz Khan, the 32-year-old bomb maker of terror group Indian Mujahideen that carried out serial bombings in Delhi and elsewhere a decade back, has been arrested, a senior Delhi Police officer announced on Wednesday.
Khan had helped put together bombs that went off in between 2007 and 2008 in Delhi, Ahmedabad, Uttar Pradesh and Jaipur.
In all, the police said, these explosives had killed 165 people and injured 535.
"This is a big success," declared Pramod Singh Kushwah, a senior Delhi Police officer who oversaw the operation that led to Khan's arrest.
Apart from his involvement in the serial bombings, Mr Kushwah told NDTV that equally important was that Khan, along with another engineer, Abdul Subhan Qureshi also known as Tauqeer, were trying to revive the Indian Mujahideen. Qureshi was arrested last month by Delhi Police.
Khan was present at Batla House, along with four others, on 19 September 2008 in Delhi's Jamia Nagar, in which two Indian Mujahideen terrorists were killed and as many arrested.
He returned to Nepal from Saudi Arabia in March 2017 and would occasionally travel to India.
Khan was arrested from near the India-Nepal border when he came to meet an old contact.

KELVIN CHONGO, Lusaka & NKWETO MFULA, Chingola
THE Zambia Chamber of Mines (ZCM) says illegal copper dealers known as Jerabos are a risk to the normal operations of the mines and placing at risk the jobs of many lawfully employed citizens.
And the Patriotic Front (PF) in Chingola says it will spearhead the formation of cooperatives for the Jerabos to help legalise their mining activities on disused dumpsites.
ZCM president Nathan Chishimba said in an interview yesterday that he is hopeful the measures Government is putting in place will ensure the insecurity in the mines does not deteriorate.
Police shot dead a member of a 50-strong gang of Jerabos who raided the KCM operational area and attacked security personnel guarding the mining company’s assets.
“The chamber is also concerned that certain activities by these individuals seem to be posing a risk to the normal operations of our members, placing at risk the welfare of many lawfully employed citizens, not to mention our communities,” he said.
Mr Chishimba said the position of the chamber is that mining is a very serious business and that all mineral rights in Zambia are vested in the government.
Meanwhile, the PF in Chingola says it will spearhead the formation of cooperatives for the Jerabos to help legalise their mining activities on disused dumpsites.
Last week during a meeting with the leaders of the Jerabos, Minister of Mines and Minerals Development Christopher Yaluma advised the Jerabos to form cooperatives to be given mining licences.
PF Chingola district chairman Samuel Bwembya, in a statement in Chingola yesterday, supported Government’s commitment to giving small-scale or artisan mining licences.
Mr Bwembya commended Mr Yaluma and his counterpart in the Ministry of Home Affairs Stephen Kampyongo for their commitment to bringing sanity in the mining industry.
And Chingola mayor Titus Chanda has attributed the increase in illegal mining activities and petty theft in the district to the mushrooming of small smelters, most of which are allegedly not regulated, MONICA KAYOMBO reports from Ndola.
Briefing Minister of Home Affairs Stephen Kampyongo, who was in the company of a combined team of police, intelligence and immigration officers and other senior government officials, Mr Chanda said the town has seen increased criminal activities lately.

IELTS Speaking Part 2: IELTS Cue Card/ Candidate Task Card.
Describe a problem that affects the environment in the area where you live.
You should say:
- what the problem is
- what causes it
- what people feel about the problem
and explain what you think could be done to solve it.
There are so many problems that negatively affect the environment in our area and among these, the density of population, in my opinion, is the most severe one. While in many countries, less than 100 people live in one square kilometre, we have got around thousand of people living in one square kilometre. Because of this high population and population density in city areas, lots of problems are arising.
The expenditure to support living is quite high compared to the average earning of the people, a heavy traffic has become a common scenario in the roads and as a consequence, lots of time is killed every day. The lower economic people are not getting the proper education and hospital facility, crime has increased than ever, lots of unplanned and risky constructions have been established, the environment is getting polluted and seems like no one cares.
There are many reasons that caused this outburst of this mass population in our city and among those, the most influential reason is the centralization of industry in this city. Most of the factory, offices and organisations are located in this city and people from all area of the country are coming here to find a living. The unemployment in rural areas is another reason why people are trying to stay here. The political reason not to take strict decisions on making equal opportunity in the country is another reason. The businesses and job opportunity attract people to come and live here in this city.
People can feel the heat of this uncontrolled population and the problems are creating for that but they have little control over it. We all suffer from the problems and talk about it but I have not seen any big movement to solve this problem. On the other hand, the political leaders who can take initiatives to lessen the problem are sometimes corrupted to take appropriate and honest steps.
There are lots of theories to solve this problem and seems like we all know about it. First of all, decentralisation should be done and industries and factories that can be moved to other areas should be moved promptly. Proper education and job sectors should be ensured so that people can earn their living at their cities rather than coming here. Local government can be formed to support and improve each area of the country. Each local government should be able to invest and decide about the development projects in their area.
People naturally want to live in a better place where they can find the necessary infrastructure, daily needs and can earn a living. If that can be ensured throughout the country, this problem can be reduced.
Part 3 – Two-way discussion:
Q. What causes environmental problems?
Q. What should the government do to protect the environment?
Q. What should we do to protect the environment?
Q. What other measures can you think of to protect the environment?
Q. How should we educate children to protect the environment?
Q. What’s the difference between the old and the young as regards environmental protection?

Canines bring many benefits to aging parents – including companionship, purpose and improved quality of life. Unfortunately, the changes that aging brings can also impact your parents’ ability to care for their pets.
Read on for tips on how to find a home for a pet when your aging parents can no longer care for them.
When George Honn knocked on his mother’s door to pick her up for a doctor’s appointment six years ago, she was startled. “That’s not today,” she told him.
Our advisors help 300,000 families each year find the right senior care for their loved ones.
Sadly, George wasn’t as surprised as his mom, Charlotte, who was 81 at the time and living in Kansas City, Missouri. Once a talented cook and seamstress, Charlotte had been slipping for a while, forgetting appointments and endangering herself and others when she got behind the wheel. Sometimes, Charlotte didn’t slow the car at all as she merged into the path of speeding vehicles on a busy highway. “I’m an old lady. They have to let me in,” Charlotte told George when he rode beside her. In 2014, a doctor diagnosed Charlotte with dementia and banned her from driving. George and his wife, Nancy, who lived nearly an hour away in Paola, Kansas, checked on Charlotte regularly and got her out of the house occasionally.
At least Charlotte had her dog, Chester, a young, 20-pound West Highland Terrier mix, to keep her company. However, as Charlotte’s dementia worsened, she frequently forgot to let Chester outside to relieve himself.
Charlotte’s apartment smelled of urine, and she fell and injured herself often.
In 2015, Charlotte moved to an assisted living community that allowed pets. However, she still forgot to let Chester outside. The Honns worried that the assisted living residence would insist that Charlotte couldn’t keep Chester.
Before they could find Chester a new home, an emergency made the issue even more pressing. Charlotte fell again, breaking her ankle, and was admitted to a skilled nursing facility permanently in late 2015. This time, Chester couldn’t go with her.
Westie Rescue of Missouri is contacted “all the time” by children of aging parents unable to keep their pets, says Cheryl Sanford Aston, a volunteer and board member with the rescue group.
“Typically, the family or a friend will contact us,” says Sanford Aston. “A lot of times, it’s a crisis situation where they might say, ‘I have to get rid of the dog tomorrow.'”
The Honns didn’t want to take in Chester, who was five by that time and still not properly housetrained. Charlotte’s grandson took Chester for a while but the dog, stressed by an unfamiliar environment, chewed up furniture and gnawed through a wire crate where he was kept when the man left the house.
The Honns boarded Chester temporarily at a kennel. Meanwhile, George’s mother Charlotte continued to decline mentally.
At times, Charlotte thought she was living on a boat. Other times, not understanding the facility’s pet restrictions, she pleaded for Chester’s return. “He doesn’t need to be rescued,” Charlotte told them. “He’s got a home here. Bring him back.”
Nancy called animal rescue groups but says all of them turned her down because they were full. “I was upset because it wasn’t fair to the dog,” says Nancy. “Something needed to be done but we had no idea what to do. I didn’t want to put him down.”
It’s a good idea to ask your parents to include in estate planning a guardian for their pet and/or enough money to fund veterinary care, boarding and expenses related to finding the animal a new home, says Sanford Aston.
Plan ahead so you’re not making decisions during a crisis.
Pet rehoming options could include:
Whatever you do, don’t advertise the pet on Craigslist or elsewhere as “free to a good home.” Unfortunately, people seeking free dogs sometimes have nefarious intentions such as selling the pet to dog fighting rings or reselling the animal to the first buyer with no screening or follow-up.
If you adopt out the pet out on your own, charge an adoption fee of at least $60 to $100 to weed out people with bad motives, follow up a few weeks later and let the person know they can return the pet if things don’t work out.
After finding no rescue group for Chester, Nancy reached out to an acquaintance who volunteered with animal rescue organizations. The woman contacted Sanford’s rescue group, Westie Rescue of Missouri, which accepted Chester into its program and adopted him to Fortune Campbell, who lives in Columbia, Missouri, about two hours away from Kansas City.
“He’s doing really well,” say Sanford Aston. Charlotte still asks about Chester, but the Honns say it would upset her too much to see him again when she can’t have him back. Things turned out well for Chester, though.
A few months after Campbell adopted Chester, her husband passed away. “I had the bed to myself and it was so sad and depressing,” says Campbell, who lets Chester snuggle under the covers with her every night. “He’s been a huge comfort to me,” she says.
Other rescues wouldn’t adopt to Campbell, 78, because she was “too old,” she says. So, Campbell made sure that before she adopted Chester, one of her children promised to take the dog if anything happened to her.
“He was an older dog who had been with an older lady and we just matched perfectly,” says Campbell. “He’s very affectionate. She must have loved him dearly.”

In The Curse of the Golden Skull, Roy Thomas’ insane one hundred and fifty issue tenure on Conan the Barbarian continues. While the last volume of the Epic Collection dipped its toes into the cosmic unknown of Weird Horror fiction, volume 3 tends more to ride the line just adjacent to the sorts of horror books Marvel was putting out at the same time. While the run collected sometimes crosses into horror territory with some sexy skull-faced or tentacled women, sword-bearing shadows, and. . . sexy shadow women, more often we find our bumbling barbarian fight other big bros, animals, and climb yet more towers to fight yet more nameless wizards.
Most notable is the arrival of John Buscema on penciling duties. Buscema, Thomas’s first choice when pitching the series, had initially been priced out by publisher Martin Goodwin’s unwillingness to commit too heavily to an untested concept (sword and sorcery), with fresh-faced Barry Windsor Smith being slotted in on the cheap. Now, twenty-some issues into the series, Conan was getting some critical love. . . but so was Windor Smith, who Stan Lee wanted to put on to more profitable books.
Enter Buscema, who would go on to work on an also insane one hundred plus issues of the series. Buscema was a veritable workhorse of an artist, a cornerstone of Marvel Comics artwork in the sixties and seventies, even replacing Jack Kirby on the King’s titles when Kirby left the company. While Barry Smith grew to huge critical acclaim, Buscema just kept doing the work.
The magic in Conan is that Thomas and Buscema never seem to run out of steam. There seemed to be an endless well of ideas at their disposal, both original and adapted. In this volume, not only are Conan creator Robert E Howard’s stories loosely adapted but so, too, is a novel called Flame Winds by Norvell W. Page. That novel, released several years earlier, was heavily marketed to be “In the great Conan tradition”, which is to say a sword and sorcery book with a Conan-like hero doing Conan-like things. The story spans three issues (#32-34), which might be one of the longest ongoing arcs in the series so far.
With the whole of bottom-of-the-barrel pulps to guide and inspire, it’s no wonder that Conan has run, almost continuously, for half a century, but there is no doubt that these original Conan comics bolstered up the later work by Kurt Busiek and contemporary work by Jason Aaron and Jim Zub, whose contributions to the Conan canon may be more original (and, if we look at Savage Avengers, just plain zany) but nonetheless indebted.
One interesting thing of note is that these books — and, indeed, current Conan books — can’t be read on Marvel Unlimited, likely due to licensing limitations. This means that, while digital copies can be picked up through Comixology, these Marvel Epic Collections are probably the savviest way to experience the material (outside, of course, scouring the secondary market for pricy back issues or the Chronicles of Conan trades Dark Horse put out during their tenure as Conan Captains).
Golden Skull is a very solid span of books for any of the reasons enumerated above, but for my money, I still think Hawks From the Sea is the best entry in the Epic Collections so far; while both are available, that’s where I’d sink my first forty dollar investment. Like John Buscema, the 17 issues collected in Golden Skull are workhorses, intent on steadily doing the work well. They are not, however, the most brilliant work of Buscema or Thomas, which makes the anticipation for the next Epic Collection release all the stronger.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. – Thursday afternoon, President Biden issued a blanket pardon for federal simple marijuana possession charges.
The Biden administration says it will help thousands of people nationwide.
But what does it mean for those in Southwest Missouri?
One attorney says federal charges for simple possession are rare and primarily on the state level.
“I actually don’t think there’s a single person in (federal) prison right now on this charge.” Attorney Nancy Price said. “I’ve been practicing in federal court since 1993. I think I might have had one simple possession case, but they are very, very rare. It’s just doesn’t happen.”
President Biden has also called on state governors to issue similar pardons.
Defense attorney Adam woody says a statewide pardon would be more impactful.
“If you go and pay a fine for a marijuana charge from that point forward, you have to put on any job application that asks, have you ever been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor? The answer at that point would be yes.” Woody said. “(There’s) no doubt there are people there that this could have a big impact on. Again, if it comes down to the state level.”
Governor Parson issued a statement Thursday afternoon.
It reads, “President Biden’s action is limited to individuals who violated federal law and does not implicate state law in any way. In Missouri, those with criminal records can apply for expungement under state law. Governor Parson has used his state constitutional authority to grant pardons to individuals who demonstrate a changed lifestyle, commitment to rehabilitation, contrition, and contribution to their communities – rather than as a blanket approach to undermine existing law.”
Woody says this November, a pardon from the Governor may not be needed.
“The ballot measure in November would essentially eliminate this argument completely. If the ballot measure were to pass, there would be no need for a pardon. It would fully legalize marijuana recreationally in the state of Missouri,” Woody said. “In a portion of the ballot language, I believe also pardons anyone who is who has been convicted of marijuana in the past. So that would essentially do what President Biden did today at the state level.”


Washington State Legislature
The 2010 regular legislative session adjourned on March 11, 2010. However, the governor called for a special session which officially began on March 15th and adjourned on April 12, 2010. Focus during the special session was primarily on the state budget.
The last issue of the WHO’s News was the Advocacy Committee’s annual Legislative Update article. We reported on the following bills. Now to wrap up this session:
Senate Bill 2571 is titled AN ACT Relating to the definition of predatory. It was introduced by House Public Safety & Emergency Preparedness and originally sponsored by Representative Appleton. The word “predatory” in law deals with people who are “strangers to the child” and who abuse their positions of power where children are vulnerable, such as in a school environment.
Current state law exempts home-based instruction from the predatory law. HB 2751 would have reversed that exemption. The thinking was based more on the situation where a parent was not present, say at a support group function or co-op scenario. Rather than oppose the bill in its entirety, we supported a floor amendment that defines home-based instruction as delineated in the Compulsory Attendance Law rather than allowing home-based education to simply mean “school”. The amendment also clearly defined “predator” as “stranger to the victim” that way, protecting the homeschool parent.
While this bill made significant progress in the House of Representatives, the Senate and the Rules Committees, it did not pass out of session because it didn’t meet committee deadlines.
Second Substitute House Bill 2867 – Promoting Early Learning. This legislation was requested by Governor Gregoire. On March 29, 2010 it was signed by the governor and will go into effect on June 10, 2010. It establishes a “robust birth-to-three continuum of services for parents and caregivers of young children”. One of the stated purposes of this legislation is to provide a more cohesive and integrated voluntary early learning system that would result in greater efficiencies for the state, increased partnership between the state and the private sector, improved access to high quality early learning services, and better employment and early learning outcomes for families and all children.
This bill is not directly related to home-based instruction because participation in services is voluntary. However, we should be aware of the trend a bill like this can create with regard to its potential impact on Washington’s current compulsory attendance age of eight. If any or all of these voluntary services become mandatory, it could impact, for example, the point at which a parent must meet one of the qualifications to homeschool, the date we file our Home-Based Instruction Declaration of Intent, when we begin annual testing of our children, etc.
Be sure to stay informed on this and any other issues impacting homeschooling. Sign up to receive our announcements all year long, not just when the legislature is in session. Go to our homepage,

Many people who grow broccoli sprouts typically grow a variety of other sprouts as well. Having different varieties to choose from means you won’t get bored of the same flavor all the time. You can even combine broccoli, radish, clover and alfalfa to make a sprout salad mix.
More Sprouts Does Not Equal More Work
Once you learn how to grow them and develop an efficient growing system, you can double, triple or quadruple your plant production without really spending any more time or effort doing it.
It’s an easy way ensure that your family always has fresh, organic and nutritious greens available for salads, sandwiches, smoothies and other meals.
Saving Money with a Wheatgrass Grower…
Speaking of nutritious, you’ve probably heard of growing your own wheatgrass. Instead of going to your local Jamba Juice and paying around $5 for a shot of this superfood drink, you can grow your own supply at home, get a juicer (either a stainless steel hand crank model or a motorized juicer that can do other stuff too, like make nut butter, grind coffee and spices, whip milk, make baby food and more ) and have as much as you want for a lot less money.
The Problem… & Solution:
One big hassle, however, is that most wheatgrass growers require soil, which can be messy and attract bugs. That’s why I like the Tribest SM-350 Sproutman Wheatgrass Grower. You can grow your wheatgrass without using soil in convenient growing trays. It’s easy clean-up between growing sessions and less complicated.
Only 10 Days.
It doesn’t take long either. Similar to broccoli sprouts which can basically be harvested and eaten within 5 days, wheatgrass can take about 10 days.
The kit includes 3 growing trays with germinating lids, covers, shelf baskets and organic wheatgrass seed (Bonus!). If you want to increase production, though, the system can be expanded to 10 stacking trays, so you don’t have to have your sprout farms taking over your entire kitchen.
Another cool feature about the Sproutman is that you don’t need special lighting or a warming pad. The system is designed to work with the temperature and light in your home without you having to go out and buy special equipment that just add sup to more money and a complicated set-up.

Troup County School Board members retire
Published 4:21 pm Friday, December 14, 2018
The Troup County School Board said goodbye to two longtime board members on Thursday night.
Alfred McNair and Ted Alford participated in their last board meeting on Thursday evening. McNair, who represents district 7, has served on the board since 1988. Alford served as a teacher, coach and principal of Berta Weathersbee Elementary for 39 years and has served as the board member for district 4 for eight years.
Both men were honored with plaques recognizing their time serving on the school board.
“Since his time as a board member, we have seen the building of new schools, expansion of schools, improvement in the district’s culture and climate, and the One-to-One technology rollout,” said Interim Superintendent Dr. Roy Nichols of Alford. “He has been instrumental in those decisions and has guided the county in a positive direction.”
McNair began serving on the school board when West Point, Hogansville and LaGrange merged into the Troup County School System.
Nichols talked about some of the difficult times McNair helped lead the school system through, including budget cuts and furloughs.
“During his tenure, Mr. McNair saw the introduction of the first education SPLOST. The E-SPLOST has provided financial opportunities that have helped enhance the district’s operational goals such as the building of new schools and the introduction of advanced technology where now each student in grades 6-12 have their own Chromebook,” Nichols said.
Tanya Jones-Cameron is taking McNair’s spot on the board. Becky Grubbs is taking over Alford’s spot.
Together, the two men announced that Thursday’s meeting — their final one — was adjourned.

A Hixson woman did a triple-take upon scratching off a winning $2 million instant lottery game this week.
Frances Sharp, 69, claimed her winnings Tuesday at Tennessee Lottery headquarters in Nashville, according to spokeswoman Kym Gerlock.
This was the first top-prize winner for the "$2 Million Bonanza," a high-winnings scratch-off ticket game recently unveiled by the lottery.
"At first I thought I had won $2,000, then I thought it was $200,000," said Sharp.
She purchased her ticket at a Hixson gas station.
Her big winnings fall at the end of a record-breaking February for the Tennessee Lottery, which sold more than $112 million in tickets. Lottery officials say the spike in sales is due in large part to the game Sharp won this week as well as other new high-winning games.
"These games are great additions to our lineup of other popular games including Tennessee Cash, which has a record jackpot of $1.07 million for Wednesday night," said Lottery CEO Rebecca Hargrove.
The lottery announced the earnings figures Tuesday, just a few hours after Sharp claimed her big prize. The February sales figures beat the previous record, $110 million, set in March 2010.
As of Monday, "$2 Million Bonanza" players had won more than $11.8 million in prizes, while "Lady Jumbo Bucks" players had won more than $7.3 million.

Bulls comeback falls short against Celtics
(CHICAGO) –A frantic comeback fell short Saturday night for the Chicago Bulls, who saw their four-game win streak snapped by the Boston Celtics 106-101.
Playing without Derrick Rose for a second-straight game, the Bulls found themselves down by as many as 19 points in the second half to the Celtics. The Bulls cut the deficit to two in the final minute, but could not get any closer.
Aaron Brooks scored a game-high 26 points off the bench and was one of five Bulls in double-figures. Rebounding was once again an issue for the Bulls, as the Celtics out-rebounded them 45-38.
Chicago is home again Monday night against the Pistons.

Does auto insurance cover the car or the person – When you buy car insurance, it will be listed on your policy, and the coverage will follow the vehicle the vehicle for when you loan it to another person. The policy follows the driver’s license.
This is why it’s so important that people who drive your car know where your proof of insurance and registration is, if they are pulled over for a traffic violation. If you do not own a vehicle, you can have non-owners auto insurance in which case that insurance would cover you, but normally as secondary insurance on a vehicle. The insurance of the owner of the car, the one you borrowed since as a non-owner you would not have one of your own, would be the primary coverage provider.
Some get confused and believe that Uninsured Motorist coverage pays for other drivers. Should you pay for auto insurance that covers other drivers? That question is unrelated to UM coverage. UM coverage pays for you if the other driver is uninsured. It is good protection, especially in states that don’t strictly enforce their insurance requirement laws. You can check with your business policy insurance carrier but normally that business insurance auto policy is for company cars and would not extend to your personal vehicle unless your car is listed on the business policy.
Another factor is that most states require the owner of a motor vehicle to carry auto insurance, or another form of financial responsibility, on their vehicle in order to have the car registered. Therefore, unless your company’s policy is extended to cover your vehicle, you would need to purchase your own. It’s up to the other person if they are driving.


Tampa Bay Lightning owner Jeff Vinik appears to be making good on his pledge to settle in Tampa, listing his mansion in one of Boston's priciest suburbs for a staggering $17 million.
The seven-bedroom, 11-bathroom estate is nestled on more than 7 acres of groomed lawn in Weston, Mass., minutes from downtown Boston, according to a sales listing Wednesday.
The 19,000-square-foot home includes an in-home basketball court, a 16-seat theater, heated pool, art rotundas, billiards room, wine cellar, granite patio and "interactive space ship arcade."
The mansion dwarfs the $4 million island home he bulldozed last month off the Sarasota coast, though just what he and his wife, Mary Penny Vinik, intend to build there remains a mystery.
Vinik and his listing agent declined to comment.
Vinik, who regularly commuted from Boston after buying the Lightning in 2010, has said he wants to focus more on the Tampa franchise and developing 20 acres near Channelside Bay Plaza. Last year, the Vinik family moved into a mansion in the Palma Ceia neighborhood of South Tampa.
The 54-year-old hockey baron, who once managed one of the nation's largest hedge funds, will be leaving behind years of history in Weston.
Vinik moved to the Boston suburb in 1991, when at age 32 he was already an investment superstar. A New York Times story that year quoted mutual fund analysts calling him "Amazin' Jeff." His six-bedroom starter home there sat on nearly 2 secluded acres.
Six years later, he upgraded, buying the now-for-sale home for $2.3 million sight unseen, according to a 2000 profile in Money Magazine.
As in Sarasota, Vinik razed every part of the mansion except for a Japanese teahouse in the front yard. He hired an architect to "build him something more palatial."

ATHENS, Ala. – (THE NEWS COURIER) — If you’ve ever attended the Athens Grease Festival and thought a cold beer would complement your fried Oreos, you’ll want to make sure you’re at this year’s event.
At a public meeting for Athens Main Street stakeholders Thursday, Director Tere Richardson revealed this year’s Athens Grease Festival would indeed include beer sales on The Square. She hopes this year’s event, scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 19, will be the biggest yet.
“This will be our first time to sell beer. We want to take this fundraiser to the next level,” she said. “Truthfully, we want to do it safely, tastefully and the right way. That’s why we’re planning now.”
Richardson said great care will go into ensuring those who purchase beer are of legal age, which will include training staff and volunteers.
In addition to adding beer, Richardson hopes the decision to move the festival back to the fall will bring more people because it tends to be cooler and drier. She knows the event will be held the same weekend as the Alabama vs. Tennessee game, but she has a solution for that.
“WOW! is going to sponsor a Fan Zone, so we’ll have a big tent next to all this fried food and where we’ll sell the beer,” she said. “Aaron’s is going to donate the use of two big TVs, so we’ll have SEC football going all day.”
Athens State University’s Center for Lifelong Learning will also have a Kid’s Zone and there will be live music throughout the day.
In addition to Grease Festival planning, Richardson said Athens Main Street is busy with other efforts like increasing signage at downtown public parking lots. She explained there is a misconception that downtown will lose parking spaces because of the ongoing pedestrian access improvements, but she said four parking spaces will be gained.
At Monday’s Athens City Council meeting, Erin Tidwell and Micah Cochran with the city’s planning department plan to present plans on how to improve signage for the city’s four public parking lots, all of which are within a block to a block and a half of The Square.
“The current parking lot signage is not adequate because people don’t know they can park there,” Richardson said. “I’m downtown all the time and I see those spaces go unused.”
Richardson also wants to add way-finding parking signs on Jefferson and Hobbs streets to let people know where to park. She said the signs would look similar to the city’s existing way-finding signs in terms of color and style.
Athens Main Street is also looking at different types of signs to help its downtown businesses. Richardson said the group had created a grant program to help provide funds to businesses in need of larger or better signs. She explained it would be similar to a previous program that offered grants to business owners wanting to improve their facades.
Richardson said Athens Main Street’s other annual events are just as important as the Grease Festival in terms of attracting patrons. Those include the Chocolate Walk, Fridays After Five, Sippin’ Cider and the annual Christmas Open House, held in conjunction with the Greater Limestone County Chamber of Commerce.
There’s also the Saturday Market events, held each Saturday in June, July and August at the Limestone County Farmers Market on Green Street.
Efforts to add unique downtown features are also underway. Last year, a pop-up park opened in the alley next to the Athens Main Street office on North Jefferson Street. Richardson said she delights in watching people check it out.
“People have been sitting there and eating,” she said. “We’re trying to make more of those unique spaces.”
Pedestrians may also notice changes coming soon to the windows at Smith’s Men’s Wear on Washington Street. Richardson said the owners agreed to host a pop-up art gallery, which includes works from High Cotton Arts and student art work. She plans to have the artwork rotate every couple of months and also include wood and metal-based artwork.
Athens Main Street is at 107 N. Jefferson St., Athens. The organization can be reached at 256-232-9040.

text: An accelerometer, a wearable motion sensor on the hip or wrist, is becoming a popular tool in clinical and epidemiological studies for measuring the physical activity. Such data provide a series of activity counts at every minute or even more often and displays a person’s activity pattern throughout a day. Unfortunately, the collected data can include irregular missing intervals because of noncompliance of participants and therefore make the statistical analysis difficult. The purpose of this study is to develop a novel imputation method to handle the multivariate count data, motivated by the accelerometer data structure. We specify the predictive distribution of the missing data with a mixture of zero-inflated Poisson and Log-normal distribution, which is shown to be effective to deal with the minute-by-minute autocorrelation as well as under- and over-dispersion of count data. The imputation applies the principles of multiple imputation using a fully conditional specification with the chained algorithm. To facilitate the practical use of this method, we provide an R package accelmissing. Our method is demonstrated using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data.

Environmental scientists at Harvard have observed that the Arctic accumulation of mercury, a toxic element, is caused by both atmospheric forces and the flow of rivers-- the Lena, Yenisei and Ob that carry the element north into the Arctic Ocean.
"The Arctic is a unique environment because it's so remote from most human instigated sources of mercury, yet we know that the concentrations of mercury in Arctic marine mammals are among the highest in the world," says lead author Jenny A. Fisher, a postdoctoral fellow in Harvard's Atmospheric Chemistry Modeling Group and the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences (EPS). "This is dangerous to both marine life and humans. The question from a scientific standpoint is, where does that mercury come from?"
Lena, Yenisei and Ob are among ten largest rivers in the world, and together they account for 10% of all freshwater discharge to the world's oceans. The Arctic Ocean is shallow and stratified, which increases its sensitivity to input from rivers. The revelation implies that concentrations of the toxin may further increase as climate change continues to modify the region's hydrological cycle and release mercury from warming Arctic soils. The Arctic natives are more vulnerable to the effects of methyl-mercury exposure because they consume large amounts of fish and marine mammals as part of their traditional diet.
Mercury being a naturally occurring element that has been enriched in the environment by human activities such as coal combustion and mining. When converted to methyl-mercury by microbial processes in the ocean, it can accumulate in fish and wildlife at concentrations up to a million times higher than the levels found in the environment and become more dangerous.
"At this point we can only speculate as to how the mercury enters the river systems, but it appears that climate change may play a large role," says Jacob. "As global temperatures rise, we begin to see areas of permafrost thawing and releasing mercury that was locked in the soil; we also see the hydrological cycle changing, increasing the amount of runoff from precipitation that enters the rivers."
"Another contributing factor," he adds, "could be runoff from gold, silver, and mercury mines in Siberia, which may be polluting the water nearby. We know next to nothing about these pollution sources."
"Observing that telltale supersaturation, and wanting to explain it, is what initially motivated this study," says Fisher. "Relating it to Arctic rivers was detective work. The environmental implications of this finding are huge. It means, for example, that climate change could have a very large impact on Arctic mercury, larger than the impact of controlling emissions to the atmosphere. More work is needed now to measure the mercury discharged by rivers and to determine its origin."
The study was published in the journal Nature Geoscience.
