HIV Is Not a Crime is a documentary about HIV criminalization, told through the voices and stories of people who have been subject to discriminatory prosecutions or heightened punishments because of their HIV+ status.
HIV Is Not a Crime addresses the human rights abuses inherent in creating a "viral underclass" in the law as well as how these statutes constitute a serious threat to public health.
When the government enshrines discrimination in the law–as it does with creation of different laws for people who have HIV than for those who do not–it is a most extreme manifestation of stigma. Stigma discourages people from getting tested, accessing treatment or disclosing their HIV status to partners. But because one cannot be prosecuted for failing to disclose one's HIV status if one has not been tested, HIV criminalization has become a significant disincentive for those at risk to get tested for HIV. The word on the street is "Take the Test and Risk Arrest!" – a dangerous method when more than 20% of those with HIV in the U.S. have not been tested.
People with HIV who have been subjected to criminalization prosecutions have only rarely been heard from and are typically portrayed in the media as, at best, reckless and, at worst, monstrous. Most hold jobs, raise children, go to church, and are otherwise unremarkably different from others in society, except that they have HIV and were caught up in a profound injustice that often ruins their lives.
HIV Is Not a Crime brings their stories to light, raise awareness of the public health threats and human rights abuses created by HIV criminalization and help mobilize the advocacy necessary for reform.


text: hi to all, I am keuninkske, a belgian carmechanic. I am born in 1988 and just finished my professional bachelor cartechnologies studies. Unfortunatly i didn't find a job in the R&D sector because ofthe financial crisis (i gues) but my hobby stays to engineer things. As I like to work with reliable tools I also want to design reliable tools. So I am not afraid to make some calculations and think about it before I act. Already a lot of basic, hobbyist designs past trough my hands, a succes story of my projects you can find on our team site. http://www.freewebs.com/henkiteam until now everything worked out well with basic calculations and the basic knowledge I have as a young engineer. The main problem I have while engineering as a hobbyist is that I don't have acces to any databases of references or facts/digits that I need to make the calculations. Try and error (as one of my teachers told me once) is a too common thing in my designs. I hope to find some answers on this forum when I have my next problem, in the mean while I try to help the people as much as I can on this forum. I didn't mentioned yet about the electronic and microcontroller (programming) knowledge i have learned already on the net. About 2 years ago I was searching for some electronics knowledge for one of my projects and since then i stayed following a dutch electronics forum circuitsonline.net. Due to this forum my interests for the electronic side of engineering were also growing and already several projects are finished now. most of the time with microchips PIC microcontroller. As I see in my newest Ideas I want to combinate more and more the mechanic with the electronic part of my interests and I was hoping to find some help about the mechanics on this forum.

Lost Portland
At the turn of the 19th century, Portland was still the metropolis of the Pacific Northwest, and its buildings reflected a sense of urban grandeur rivaling the great cities of North America. As the twentieth century progressed, many of these buildings fell victim to changing needs, economic imperatives, and a growing decentralization of urban life.
While the Oregon Historical Society's Davies Family Research Library holds thousands of images of lost Portland, few are so evocative of the city's past grandeur as these postcards, created from re-touched and hand-colored photographs.
Exhibit curated by former OHS Library Director Geoff Wexler, with postcards from Org. Lot 146, OHS Research Library. Many thanks to Donald R. Nelson for valuable information.
The Oregonian Building
As the headquarters of the region's most important newspaper, the red sandstone Oregonian building loomed over the corner of SW 6th Avenue and Alder Street for over half a century. It was designed by the firm of Reid and Reid.
Hotel Perkins
Located on the corner of SW 5th Ave. and Washington St., the Perkins hotel was built by cattle rancher Richard Perkins and featured a golden steer in its tower. The site is now occupied by a branch of Key Bank.

Public Auditorium
Located on the block bounded by SW Clay, Market, 2nd and 3rd Avenues, the Auditorium was the largest venue in Portland for many decades. It hosted numerous conventions, lectures, concerts, and banquets, and served as the quarantine barracks during the 1917 influenza epidemic. It was also the home of the Oregon Historical Society from 1917 to 1965. In 1966 the auditorium was completely reconstructed and is now the Keller Auditorium.
Portland Hotel
Located in the block that is now Pioneer Courthouse Square (bounded by SW Broadway, 6th Ave., Yamhill, and Morrison Streets) the Portland Hotel was the center of the city's social life in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It hosted kings and presidents and an array of important events. Begun in 1883 by railroad magnate Henry Villard, the construction was halted shortly thereafter due to financial difficulties. But the project was resuscitated with local capital and the hotel opened finally in 1890. Then, after decades of prominence, the once-elegant Portland was eclipsed by newer and more pretentious hostelries. In 1951 it was demolished and replaced by a parking structure.

Chamber of Commerce Building
The ill-fated Chamber of Commerce Building was located on SW Stark Street between SW 3rd and 4th Avenues. It was built in 1892 with high hopes for financial return. But the panic of 1893 resulted in a defaulted mortgage, and a fire in 1906 seriously damaged the structure. It was eventually purchased by the Spokane, Portland, and Seattle Railway Company, which decided to demolish it in 1933 rather than expend funds for costly renovations. The site was used as a parking lot for the next 70 years.
Y.M.C.A. Building
The Y.M.C.A. Building was a long-time Portland fixture at SW 6th Avenue and Taylor Street. When finished in 1909, it featured classrooms, laboratories, workshops, 2 gymnasiums, handball courts, a swimming pool, and residence rooms for 200 men. In 1978, despite protests led by city commissioner Mildred Schwab, the building was demolished to make way for offices of Pacific First Federal Savings and Loan Association.
Y.W.C.A Building
After fifty years in this building at SW Taylor and Broadway, the YWCA moved to a new home at SW 10th Avenue and Main Street. The old building was demolished the following year and replaced with a parking lot.
Samaritan Hospital
Designed by the local firm of Whidden and Lewis, this massive red brick edifice formed the core of an ever-expanding hospital complex on NW 23rd Avenue between Lovejoy and Marshall Streets. It was razed in 1976 to make way for a new wing of the hospital.
Multnomah Athletic Club
Located near what is now the southwest corner of SW 18th Ave. and Morrison Street, the Multnomah Amateur Athletic Club included a large playing field to the west, which later evolved into Multnomah Stadium and is now (2015) Providence Park. The building in this picture was destroyed by fire in 1910, and the following year the club opened an elegant new edifice around the corner on SW Salmon, designed by noted architect Morris Whitehouse. That structure was replaced beginning in the late 1960s with the present MAC Club building.
Temple Beth Israel
The second home of the region's largest Jewish congregation, the Beth Israel Synagogue commanded the southwest corner of SW 12th Avenue and Main Street, across the street from the present-day First Unitarian Church. It was designed by Warren H. Williams and combined Moorish and Byzantine motifs in a complex wooden structure. After the temple burned in a dramatic arson fire in 1923, the congregation relocated to its present home on NW Flanders and 19th, a magnificent building designed by the Morris Whitehouse firm.
Elks Club Building
The local Elks Club had operated out of rented quarters before its members constructed this expensive and elegant building on the northeast corner of SW Broadway and Stark. It included a ballroom, billiard room, grill room, and one of the largest elevators in the city at the time. It lasted only 17 years and was razed to make way for the expansion of the U.S. National Bank next door. The Club then moved to an even larger and more elaborate building at SW 11th and Alder.

Hotel Carlton
Designed by the firm of Mcnaughton and Raymond, the Hotel Carleton was located on SW 14th Ave. between SW Washington and West Burnside streets. It featured expensive furniture from the local Gevurtz firm (some covered in imported Spanish leather), mahogany woodwork and a sophisticated ventilation system. Considered one of the finest hostelries in the city, it was demolished in 1965 to make way for the I-405 freeway.
In this postcard of the hotel's exterior, the publisher has exaggerated the building's size by adding three additional bays on each side.

Meier and Frank Department Store
The Meier and Frank Company evolved from a shop opened on Front Street by Aaron Meier in 1857. After expansion to larger quarters on SW 1st and Taylor, the firm moved uptown to a more fashionable address at SW 5th and Morrison. There they built their new headquarters in 1898, designed by the local firm of Whidden and Lewis. But the success of Meier and Frank meant more expansion, and after building an annex in 1907 they demolished the 1898 structure in 1913 and replaced it with a new 16-story store designed by A. E. Doyle and completed in 1915. Further additions were made in the early 1930s, which filled the entire block.
This postcard also depicts the nearby Portland hotel, demolished in 1951 and replaced by a Meier & Frank's parking structure.
Heilig Theatre
As the city's premier venue for the performing arts, the Heilig was located on the northwest corner of SW Broadway and Taylor Street. It hosted internationally-acclaimed celebrities such as violinist Jascha Heifitz, actress Ethel Barrymore, dancer Vaslav Nijinsky, and birth control advocate Margaret Sanger. It was designed by architect E.W. Houghton and could seat up to 1500 people. Eclipsed by other venues, the Heilig evolved into a movie theater in the 1920's, when it became the Hippodrome, and later the Rialto, the Music Box, and the Mayfair. It was completely renovated in the early 1950s and re-opened as the Fox Theatre in 1954. The building lasted until 1997, when it was demolished to make way for the present Fox Tower.
Portland High School
This magnificent confection sat prominently on the corner of SW 14th Avenue and Morrison Street. Originally called simply "The High School," it became Lincoln High School in 1909. In 1911 the school moved to new quarters on the South Park Blocks (now present-day Lincoln Hall of PSU) and the older building became Girl's Polytechnic. It was demolished in 1928, and the site served primarily as a parking lot until 1957, when the First National Bank built the stark international-style building that is now called the Morrison Plaza.
Public Library
Operated by the Library Association of Portland, this vaguely Romanesque building was located on the southwest corner of SW Stark and Broadway. The Library Association, founded in 1864, was a private membership organization, but when it merged with the Portland Public Library in 1902 its collections were open to the public free of charge. In 1913 the library moved to larger and more palatial quarters in the present Multnomah County Central Library on SW 10th Avenue, between Yamhill and Taylor. That year the old library was demolished and replaced with a movie theater, the Orpheum (later the Liberty), completed in 1914 and itself demolished in 1959.
Marquam Building
Now the site of the American Bank Building on SW Morrison Street, across from Pioneer Courthouse Square, the imposing Romanesque Marquam Building contained offices, stores, and an ornate opera house. Despite its solid appearance it was poorly built with defective materials, and when renovations were attempted in 1912 the entire east wall of the building collapsed.
Multnomah County
A magnificent building for a small frontier city, the Multnomah County Courthouse was completed in 1866 and located in the block bounded by SW 4th and 5th Avenues, and Main and Salmon Streets. It boasted a 106-foot dome and a bas-relief of Abraham Lincoln carved over the front door. But the burgeoning county soon outgrew its courthouse, and beginning in 1911 it was demolished to make way for the present building, completed in 1914.
East Side High School
Representative of the growing importance of Portland's east side at the turn of the 20th century, east side high school (renamed Washington High school in 1909) rivaled Portland High School (later Lincoln High) as one of the city's largest secondary schools. Opened in 1907 and located between SE 13th and 14th Avenues and Stark Street, the construction was delayed by cost overruns and shortages of materials. It was destroyed by fire in 1922 and replaced with the present building. The school produced many notable alumni, including Kathryn Hall Bogle, her son Richard "Dick" Bogle, James Beard, Otto Frohnmayer, and Linus Pauling. The school was closed in 1981 and lay mostly vacant until it was purchased in 2013 and renovated to include offices, bars, restaurants, and the historic auditorium, now known as Revolution Hall.
Portland Academy
The most prestigious private boys' school in the city, Portland Academy was located at SW 13th Avenue and Montgomery Street on land donated by local magnates William S. Ladd and Henry W. Corbett. The school closed in 1916, but remnants of its programs were later absorbed into Catlin Gabel School. After serving as the home of St. Helens Hall, the building was demolished in 1965 to make way for the I-405 freeway.

Communications technology has shrunk the world. You might be forgiven for thinking there was nothing on the planet still to be discovered.
What a joyful surprise, then, to learn only last year that a previously unknown coral reef, amost 700 miles long, had been found off the coast of South America.
Joyful, and in a curious way something of a relief too. As if the discovery of a reef in one part of the world could compensate for the death of another, 10,000 miles away.
Australia's Great Barrier Reef has been called "the canary in the coal mine" for global warming. Its reported death may be both symptom and further cause of ecological catastrophe on a massive scale.
Meanwhile, the newly discovered Amazon Reef appears to be thriving.
Corals live mostly in clear salt water with plenty of sunlight. This one has astonished marine biologists because the outflow from the Amazon makes its waters among the muddiest and least salty sea areas in the world.
Yet they have found there 73 species of fish, 60 types of sponge and a rich variety of other life. There are dolphins, turtles, manatees and species that haven't yet been named.
The reef may have been unknown until recently, but its importance to the global ecosystem – and our knowledge of it – may be considerable. That Amazon outflow amounts to a fifth of all the water flowing into the world's oceans.
Here then, is an amazing place. An environment and a habitat to cherish.
The last thing it needs is multinational oil companies diving in with their drills and rigs to rip it up, spoil and pollute it. One spill like BP's 2010 Gulf of Mexico disaster could do untold damage.
So who's prospecting for oil on the Amazon Reef right now? BP and Total. They need to be stopped.
The horrifying bonfire of regulations
You don't have to compare it with the £369million handed over to refurbish Buckingham Palace to see that £5m to rehouse the former residents of Grenfell Tower was an insult. Like chucking a 5p coin at a beggar.
But no cash handout could assuage the grief and anger following that most avoidable of horrors.
Grief and anger that have stoked an almost revolutionary mood in this most unrevolutionary of countries.
The blackened ruin of that former high-rise slum casts a shadow far beyond the neighbouring well-heeled streets of Kensington.
The word "murder" may be tabloid hyperbole. "Manslaughter" may technically be a more accurate term. There may be doubt over exactly who is guilty, and of what, but there will be political as well as human and legal costs to pay.
A lot has been said and written about it already and a lot more will be. But I feel moved to share the words of my friend and former colleague Chris Storey:
"This is a third world fire, here, in Britain. Had this happened in a sweatshop in Calcutta, we'd have been shaking our heads and saying, 'Isn't life cheap in these corrupt and backward countries?'
"You announce a bonfire of regulations. And you get a bonfire."
To put it another way, this is lack of health and safety gone mad. More dangerously – fatally – mad than any terrorist atrocity on these shores.
While the nation obsesses over terror attacks, it's hard to imagine anything much more terrifying than to be trapped in a 27-storey inferno.
If it is a government's duty to protect its citizens, it raises the question of what or who it must protect us from. And how.

The Hague, 7 April 2015 – The campaign group Naame Shaam (1) today called for peaceful demonstrations in front of Iranian embassies all over the world on April 17, Syria's Independence Day, to protest against what the group describes as the "Iranian occupation of Syria."
As part of its callout, Naame Shaam has warned protesters and activists against carrying out any form of protest in front of Iranian embassies in Beirut and Damascus for obvious security reasons. Peaceful protests should only be held in countries where the rule of law prevails and where the authorities can guarantee the safety of people exercising their right to peaceful protest.
The head of the Research and Advocacy unit at Naame Shaam, Shiar Youssef, said: "It is no longer a secret that the Iranian interference in Syria amounts to a military occupation, as defined by international law. Sepah Qods (the foreign arm of Iran's Revolutionary Guards) is in control of all major military operations attributed to the Syrian regime forces. Iranian commanders are in total control of the Syrian military and other Syrian paramilitary forces.
"Regime-held areas in Syria are effectively occupied by the Iranian regime and its militias. General Soleimani, the head of Sepah Qods, is the de facto ruler of Iranian-occupied Syria, and Syrian President Bashar Assad is no more than his puppet."
Youssef added: "Time has come for the international community to treat the war in Syria as an international armed conflict that involves a foreign occupation by the Iranian regime and its militias and a liberation struggle by the Syrian people against this foreign occupation, as defined by the 1907 Hague Regulations and the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949."(2)
To visualize the Iranian occupation of Syria, Naame Shaam today released a photomontage of a Syrian bank note with the counterfeit of General Soleimani, together with former Syrian President Hafez al-Assad.(3)
Naame Shaam's Campaign Director Fouad Hamdan said: "While calling for peaceful protests, we also have to think about solutions. The only realistic way to end the Iranian occupation of Syria is by pressuring the US and its allies to take concrete steps in line with the international 'responsibility to protect' norm. These will inevitably include imposing no-fly zones to protect civilians from all forms of daily bombardment.
"They should also include giving the Iranian regime a serious ultimatum to pull all its forces and militias out of Syria and end all its financial and military support to the Syrian regime, or face serious consequences."(4)
"So, while protesting in front of Iranian embassies," Hamdan added, "we should also demand that the US and its allies hold those responsible for the bloodshed in Syria to account. This should include referring the situation in Syria to the International Criminal Court. Syrian, Lebanese and Iranian political leaders and military commanders like Syrian president Bashar al-Assad, Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah and the head of Sepah Qods, General Qassem Soleimani, should be held responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Syria."(5)
Notes for editors:
1. Naame Shaam is a group of Iranian, Syrian and Lebanese activists and citizen-journalists that focuses on uncovering the role of the Iranian regime in Syria. Naame Shaam (نامه شام) means "Letter from Syria" in Persian. For more details about the group and its activities, see www.naameshaam.org.
Naame Shaam is supported by the Netherlands-based Rule of Law Foundation, www.lawrules.org.
2. In November 2014, Naame Shaam published an in-depth report on the role of the Iranian regime in the ongoing war in Syria, "Iran in Syria: From an Ally of the Regime to an Occupying Force". See the full report here.
For a detailed legal discussion of whether the Iranian presence in Syria constitutes a military occupation, see Chapter II of the report.
3. You can find the mock bank note here.
4. Naame Shaam has been calling on the US and its allies to implement "five concrete steps" to stop the bloodbath in Syria and end the no-longer-secret Iranian occupation of the country. See here.
5. Naame Shaam has been demanding that the US and its allies refer the situation in Syria to the International Criminal Court (ICC). See here.
6. In June 2014, in the run-up to the sham presidential 'election' in Syria, Naame Shaam organised a mock 'election campaign' urging Syrians to vote for Qassem Soleimani as the president of Syria and for Bashar al-Assad as his deputy. As part of the campaign, Naame Shaam activists staged a mock 'election rally' in front of the Iranian embassy in London to highlight the role of the Iranian regime in Syria and who is really in control there. For more details about this campaign, see here.

Running wish list
So, I'm just taking it easy before the Dirty Dash on Saturday (packet pickup tonight! yay!) and then diving into half-marathon training next week. While I should be getting stuff done here at the office…
This is a list of things I would love to have while training this fall/winter:
First, a pair of Vibram Five Fingers. Either the KSO or the KSO Trek (since they are now available in women's sizes). I'd like to give barefoot running a try, both for the physical aspects, and because I think learning to run barefoot would be a good mental break for easy days.
Since it's definitely fall outside, and colder temps with wet weather are coming fast, I really would like a new running jacket. I'm not really picky about what kind. Zip off sleeves would be cool, but not necessary. Oh, and pockets. The Outdoor Research Women's Synapse would be a good choice according to an old Runner's World article. I'm not really looking for warmth so much as wind/rain/snow protection. The most important part is that any zippers don't rub my neck or chin…
I saw this Marmot Firefly jacket in the Marmot store when I bought my PreCip for hiking this summer. This jacket is awesome. It's super soft, has wind-stopper technology, is really warm, and venting. Awesome, but obviously expensive. Way out of my league. (I only got the PreCip because I had a gift card!)
A Garmin 405. Okay, truthfully, I'd be okay with the 205, the 305, or the 405. I wouldn't be that picky. My basic requirements are that it has a GPS and can connect to a computer. I do like my Nike+, but I yearn for elevation and altitude info, and would like the capability to program in workouts.
A pair of Yaktrax so I don't have to abandon plans when it snows or ices over. My favorite 5-mile loop goes under a couple of tunnels that become absolute ice if it gets even the slightest bit warmer…or colder..or someone looks at them wrong. Plus they pack the rail trail in the area so runners, walkers, and bikers can use it, and it'd be nice to be able to use it between packings.
My own personal masseuse. Yep, just like this:
What's on your fall/winter wish list?

CITY planners have given the go-ahead to a massive redevelopment of Dublin's Connolly Station.
Public transport body CIE has been granted approval for the landmark scheme, which will see the construction of more than a dozen buildings of up to seven storeys in height at the Amiens Street location.
However, it remains to be seen when building work will proceed, given the state of the property market.
Dublin City Council attached a series of conditions to its ruling, including a requirement that detailed drawings of the interface between the new buildings and existing structures be submitted for approval.
CIE has received permission to construct offices, 106 apartments and a hotel.
However, the company has said it would not go ahead unless the market improves.
It has been given a 10-year planning permission. CIE is expected to source private sector funding for the project.
It plans to demolish its central train control, maintenance shed and other office buildings.
These would be replaced by an 81,538sqm mixed-use commercial, community and residential development on a 3.2 hectare site.
In total, 13 new buildings, ranging in height from two to seven storeys, are to be built on an area currently occupied by offices and a car park.
Provision is also made for some 106 apartments, with three one-bedroom, 81 two-bedroom and 22 three-bedroom units, to be built in four blocks. A 110-bedroom hotel is planned for above Connolly Station. Seven blocks will take up over 50,000sqm of office space.
A new street through the site, linking Seville Place and Sheriff Street Lower, is also to be built. Provision for 550 underground car parking spaces, four coach spaces and 260 cycling bays are included in the plans.
CIE believes the site will be popular when there is an upturn in the property market. The National Transport Authority (NTA) supports the plan.
But the NTA stressed the need to provide a "high quality, safe and convenient pedestrian linkage" between the development site and the facilities offered by Connolly Station.
The Dublin Docklands Development Authority has also welcomed the plans.
But it said the proposal "does not have a readily identifiable civic open space, which could act as a focal point for the comprehensive redevelopment of the subject lands".

Objective Entertainment is a big agency that deals with lots of celebrities, so I really didn't expect much when I queried agent Ian Kleinert a few months back.
I was more ignorant then too.
I thought my journalism experience and my years as a stay-at-home mom were a strong enough platform for my nonfiction book.
My eyes are open now.
The proposal has changed and it's much stronger.
So is my query letter.
So I expected rejection this afternoon when I found a response from Objective Entertainment in my inbox. But Objective Entertainment surprised me. The e-mail was not from Ian and it was far more appalling than a rejection.
It was from a woman named Tracey Ravenelle.
This is what she said:
"Thanks so such for querying us, but we are unsure that this premise would work in this tight market. All said we would encourage you to do what many of our clients have done prior and self- publish with a reputable, and recommended, publisher. This is a new age in publishing, and as evidenced time and time again, neither The New York Times bestsellers list nor major booksellers discriminate against the self published. Oftentimes, authors choose to get proactive in order to build a sales record and boost their chances of being picked up.
I would like your permission to pass along your information to someone who can help you get started on your path towards getting published. If you are ready to become proactive about your career we will let them know more details about your manuscript and how to get into contact with you. There are a lot of publishers that seem to have gotten the better of new authors, the two that we refer you to are not of that ilk, they have had a number of successes."
Needless to say, I was floored.
This person has decided that she has the authority to speak for every agent and publishing house out there. Since she believes the market is too tight, apparently every agent will feel the same way. And I am supposed to accept that.
Now, I don't want to reveal too much about my agent search, but I will say that I have every reason to believe that I will get a contract sooner or later and that I will publish in the traditional way.
Fortunately, I am not so easily deterred.
But I worry that other writers might be.
A little searching on Absolute Write proved that I am not the only writer who recently received communications from Tracey after querying Ian. In fact, other writers received precisely the same note.
I can assume only one thing.
Tracey, Ian and maybe some other folks at Objective Entertainment, are making money off these referrals to self-publishing houses. They are making money and they are preying on the ignorance of writers who might be inexperienced with publishing, and on their potential lack of self confidence to do it.
There is nothing wrong with self-publishing if that is what a writer wants.
But this is not friendly guidance.
This smells fishy.
Very, very fishy.

If managing travel-related minutiae gets you down, you can take solace in the fact that even seasoned tour operators feel challenged juggling the details. When tour operator Lisa Schachter-Brooks decided to build a Jewish-centric tour that would depart from the norm, she knew she had her work cut out for her.
Studying with world-class teachers at the Israel-based Melitz Center for Jewish-Zionist Education sparked her interest in tour planning, she says.
"There, I worked with teens and young adults, and traveled quite a bit. What I felt was lacking from these tours was a way of being connected to the places and people we visited. These were essentially passive experiences, and I knew then that I wanted to design tours where youth could have a more authentic experience, engaging with a destination's history and culture," explains Schachter-Brooks.
A serendipitous trip by her brother Stephen to Costa Rica in 1995 set the stage for her eventual deep connection with Costa Rica and Belize. "He really fell in love with the people, their land and their interest in preserving the rainforest so threatened by increasing development," she explains. "He launched a tour company to raise awareness about all this beautiful country has to offer."
In 1997, Schachter-Brooks joined his company, Costa Rican Adventures, now based in Berkeley, Calif. By 1998, she embarked on the first of what would be many Costa Rican Adventures-led "Jewish singles" tours to Costa Rica.
"This was during a time when many singles, wanting to vacation in Israel, changed their plans when they felt it was too dangerous to go there. They surfed the 'Net for alternate tour destinations and found our company."
Schachter-Brooks says that she looked for opportunities during these tours where participants could hang out with each other, and still celebrate ancient Jewish wisdom and traditions, like saying traditional Hebrew blessings, organizing special Shabbat dinners, making kiddish over the wine and breaking challah together.
Accommodating Everyone
But working with teens is Schachter-Brooks' real passion, and in 2004 she got the opportunity to do just that, collaborating with former director Suzie Rose on what is now her specialty, Costa Rican trips that cater to Jewish teens from 14 to 17 from a wide range of backgrounds.
"Some of our teens are steeped in the Orthodox tradition, while others are not. Clearly, this presents a scheduling challenge: to honor the Orthodox tradition, we can't travel on Shabbat."
Teens interested in joining the tour get an information packet that covers the availability of kosher food during the trip (emphasizing "kosher-style" rather than strict kosher), and how Shabbat is observed.
Because Schacter-Brooks wants to be mindful and sensitive to everyone's needs, she says she puts lots of energy into making sure that everyone feels accommodated.
Teens traveling with Costa Rican Adventures this summer will take part in their EarthConnect program, a three-week immersion tour based in Costa Rica or its neighboring country, Belize. They will trek through the rainforest; ride class III and IV white-water rapids in the Pacuare River; stay at the homes of residents of the Monteverde region; contribute to ongoing tikkun olam projects at the Kekoldi Indigenous Reserve; and visit Punta Mona ("Monkey Point"), Costa Rican Adventures' private farm where the Schachter-Brooks family has created a Permaculture Center dedicated to developing sustainable gardening techniques.
There's a substantial Jewish community in Costa Rica's capital, San Jose, where Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe, Germany and Turkey migrated almost a century ago.
There, the EarthConnect teens will get the opportunity, says Schacter-Brooks, to meet families and share a Shabbat dinner with them in their homes.
When teens, having experienced Costa Rica, were casting about for other destinations, she added Belize to their itinerary.
Says Schachter-Brooks: "It's such a wonderful place, and has so much to offer in terms of incredible wildlife and indigenous culture. It's also the site of many Mayan ruins."
A visit to the Actun Tunichal Mucknal cave is one of the tour's highlights, which also include home stays in a Mayan village in the Toledo district and scuba-diving in South Water Caye.
Following in the footsteps of Costa Rica's former pensionado program, Belize attracts North American and British nationals with its attractive retirement incentives, adding more variety to its already diverse mix of Mestizo, Creole, Mayan and Garifuna people.

Quincy, IL to Nauvoo, IL (50 mi / 80 km)
Last night as I was walking back to our tent from my shower, the crescent moon, the fireflies, and the soft glow of Amy's headlamp filtering through the tent combined to make quite a picturesque image. This was contrasted by the ensuing dialogue at our neighbors' tent.
Apparently, one of the guys was on the phone with his wife, and they were arguing about money. Bad timing for this guy, who had been working outside all day in the heat and hadn't had a shower or dinner yet (it was about 10:30 at this point in time). This was the same f-bomb guy who had kept us up a bit the previous night, and boy did he drop them fast and hard in this conversation. As he reached a fever pitch, Amy predicted that he was going to throw his cell phone. A few minutes later… thwack!
Things quieted down not too long after that and we got to sleep.
We wake up early with the alarm, pack up, and get going, retracing out steps from yesterday for the first 8 miles. No more broken spokes so far! I often get a look from Amy if I say something like that on the road, but I usually reply that I'm not superstitious 🙂
The roads are getting a bit more hilly as we continue up the Illinois side of the Mississippi river bottoms. At one point we see a few deer bounding along the edge of a cornfield. A very cool sight, familiar to all who live here, but fresh to me; they always look like they're having a good time, seeing who can jump higher.
As the road leads us back to the edge of the river, we enter Warsaw, wondering if there really is a Main St ahead, as the road is narrowing and degrades in quality. I ask some ladies out for a morning walk, and they say keep on going, you can't miss it.
Indeed, they are correct, as the road basically dead ends into a factory of some kind by the river. We turn the corner and behold a huge hill, way too steep to pedal up. So, we walk our bikes up the hill… Not an easy task either.
Warsaw looks like a ghost town, although a postman on foot directs us toward the Gingerbread House Bakery for breakfast. In no way does this look like a bakery, although there are a few crusty old donuts, cookies, and sparse gingerbread decorations. It's a bakery only in name, but they serve breakfast and we eat there with a bunch of motorcyclists and a few locals. I order a tall stack of peach pancakes, and though there are only four, they are huge, served up on a styrofoam plate, and I can only get through half of them, and even that leaves me feeling like I overate. We wrap up the rest for later, refill our water, and head on out.
As we near Nauvoo, the road gets hillier. This part of the river doesn't have any bottoms, due to dams I think, so the road is up on the bluffs. It's a tiring but fun ride (for me at least), up and down, sandwiched between scenic overlooks on the left and steep bluffs on the right.
We make it to a sign for Camp Nauvoo, one potential location for spending the night, and after checking out the prices on the iPhone – $3 per person, wifi and showers included! – we walk our bikes up the steep hill that leads to the camp. At the top of the first hill, another hill, and no camp in sight yet. I bike the next hill as Amy walks it, and then she waits as I bike a third hill to finally make it to the entrance. Devastating! The entire camp has been reserved for a family reunion! Grumble grumble and back down the three hills I had just spent so much energy climbing.
The iphone lets us know that there's a state park not too much further ahead, so we take off again, a few more hills and then we're there. More hills to climb to get up to the camping area. Amy stops at the historical society building for a break and I go looking for someone to register with.
No one's at the booth, but they have instructions for leaving your money. Ten dollars for class B, no problem with that. Now I'm really in the deficit and head back down to Amy, taking a few minutes to wolf down most of the rest of the pancakes from breakfast.
I join Amy and the historical society lady, who is avidly showing her around. They have a lot of nineteenth century tools related to making wine, and they still produce some wine in Nauvoo. The lady is speaking a mile a minute, pausing only to apologize for being so enthusiastic. We enjoy our time with her in the cool of the wine cellar, and eventually leave to go pick a campsite and rest. We read and nap until 5, then I wake Amy up so we can go check out the farmer's market and winery that we were told about earlier.
It takes us some time, energy, and stopping to ask a couple with a bottle of wine to finally get to the farmer's market, which is one lady with a meager spread – she explains that there is usually another gentleman with a full table. We buy some cookies from her, then head into the winery, where we sample some local vintage, pick a bottle, and supplement it with cheese, crackers, and beef sticks. I say that we don't have anything to open the wine with, and the girl in the store implies that it's a screw top.
We take our spread back to an empty picnic table by our site, take off the foil, and… there's a cork! Without any bottle opener, we brainstorm for a minute. Amy suggests inviting our neighbors to join us, hoping they have one. They look pretty well equipped and approachable, so I walk up to their site and invite them to join us. They accept, bringing their corkscrew and supplementing our fare with triscuits and cheese from Wisconsin, where they live.
Hugh, a recently retired teacher, and his wife Carol, an RN, are great fun to hang out with, and we chat it up for an hour or so. Amy jokes about how she's responsible for the destruction of the world, based on certain voting choices she's made in past and present. We talk about politics, public schools, and the Midwest, and eventually they head back to their site.
While Amy takes a shower and I work on her bike trying to improve the operation of her friction shifters and derailleurs, Hugh comes back down and invites us to join them for dinner. Yes! We gladly accept and enjoy a fresh meal of spinach, tortellini, feta, and tomatoes with a nice Cabernet, swapping stories into dusk.
Among the discussions is the legacy of Brett Favre, and Hugh shows off a funny tshirt with a map of Wisconsin, Brett's face superimposed, and the text, "We'll never forget you, Brent." Yes, Brent 🙂 All Amy can do is smile and say, "I hope he goes to the Vikings."

The day airlines' Twitter accounts were hacked, and three steps to reverse the brand damage
Today, a number of airline accounts were hacked. First, NYC Aviation pointed out that United Airlines was sending out malicious tweets. Later, I received a Direct Message from Brussels Airlines, with exactly the same message, with the URL taking users to a sexual enhancement website.
Staying true to the real-time nature of social media, within minutes, the news of hacking was doing rounds all over the internet. Of course, it's only to be expected, when United Airlines sends an abnormal Tweet to it's 56,000 followers. Though United later removed the specific Tweet, the damage was done.
Reversing the brand damage to the airlines, in 3 steps
This is a situation that any airline jumping on the social media bandwagon can face. So, what's the best way to deal with it? Here are three simple steps.
- Be quick. Delete the malicious tweets from your updates (obvious!), but do it quickly. United Airlines took 1 hr 6 mins before their public tweet was deleted. It could have been quicker.
- Be candid. Send out a public Tweet apologizing and clarifying the matter. Brussels Airlines sent out a Tweet (below) but United has not reacted that way yet [Update, 9am EST: United just sent out a clarifying tweet]. It's important not to resort to traditional means like a press release. They are too formal, take too long to get to the public, and target the wrong audience. Most importantly, Twitter is personal. So, be candid, like Brussels Airlines.
- Be thankful. Identify the person who alerted you and thank him publicly. He's likely to re-tweet it and tell all his friends how nice you've been to him or her. And you have instantly cultivated a brand advocate! Cathay Pacific did this very well today (even they weren't hacked)
So, what do you think about the way these airlines reacted? How can they deal with such incidents better? Let's hear it in the comments, and over on Twitter (@simpliflying).
another way of handling or preventing such thing from happening is by having several corporate twitter accounts…
like for example, one could have one official company account and several twitter customer accounts, fan accounts, Q and A account…in other words accounts for a specific purpose…
and in the evnt an account is hacked you could keep on tweeting on the other ones, apologize to your customers and followers and keep your brad and image unharmed…

>>>Legend of the Evolution Artifacts<<<
>>>Legend of the Evolution Items<<<
During a recent excavation in the Stygian Abyss, several diggers discovered these strange items that seemed to pulse with energy. Upon their return to Luna, several leaders of the Order Of Mages were called in to determine the properties of these unique items. It was discovered that each item had the ability to learn from every encounter it faced and that that knowledge allowed it to evolve into a more powerful artifact.
Some of the vendors in Luna heard about this discovery and smuggled the items from the Luna Vendor Vault and are now selling them, keep your eyes open, if the artifacts are being sold, there are sure to be limited quantities!
Every Evolution artifact gains experience from attacking and killing. You can keep track of how many experience points and the new attributes your weapon has by hovering your mouse over it in your paperdoll.

July 11, 2019| Media Briefing|
(2019-07-11) [This is a rush transcript. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated]
BismillahIrRehmanNir Rahim,
We start with a brief round-up of the activities on the foreign policy front.
The Indian occupation forces in their recent acts of state terrorism martyred Mr. Sameer Ahmad in Shopian district of the Indian occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IOK).
You have already seen our detailed press release on the second report of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) on Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan welcomes the follow up report, which calls for fully respecting the right to self-determination of the people of Jammu & Kashmir as protected under international law. We again welcome the OHCHR's recommendation for the establishment of a Commission of Inquiry (COI) to investigate the gross and systematic human rights violations in IOK.
The Report once again recognizes human rights violations in IOK. It documents in detail the excessive use of force by the Indian occupation forces, the continued use of pellet guns to kill and maim defenseless civilians, the extrajudicial killings in the garb of so-called cordon and search operations, use of various forms of arbitrary arrests and detentions to target protesters and political dissidents, the impunity from accountability enjoyed by the Indian occupation forces under the draconian Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) and Public Safety Act (PSA).
While we appreciate the Report's efforts to document the human rights violations in IOK, we would like to reiterate that there is simply no parallel between the horrendous human rights situation in IOK and the prevailing environment in Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan. Unlike IOK, which is the most militarized zone in the world, AJK and Gilgit-Baltistan remain open to foreign visitors.
As in its first report, the OHCHR's second Report has again called for respect of the Right to self-determination of the people of Jammu and Kashmir as protected under international law.
Moving forward, on the invitation of President Donald J. Trump, Prime Minister Imran Khan will visit the United States of America on 21-23 July 2019. This would be the first summit-level engagement between Pakistan and the United States since both leaders assumed their respective offices.
During the visit, Prime Minister Khan and President Trump would have wide-ranging interaction at the White House on 22 July 2019 covering bilateral and regional matters. The Prime Minister will also be meeting prominent members of the U.S. Congress, corporate leaders and opinion makers as well as members of the Pakistani diaspora.
During his various engagements in Washington, the Prime Minister will outline his vision of "Naya Pakistan" and underscore the importance Pakistan attaches to a broader and multi-faceted relationship with the United States. In the regional context, the Prime Minister will underscore Pakistan's commitment to peace and stability and the importance of constructive engagement to promote a political solution in Afghanistan. He will also highlight Pakistan's policy of 'peaceful neighbourhood' aimed at resolving disputes through dialogue and promoting the vision of peace, progress and prosperity in South Asia and beyond.
The Prime Minister's visit will help renew and reinvigorate long-standing ties between Pakistan and the United States. It will contribute towards building a broad-based, long-term and enduring partnership between the two countries on the basis of mutual interest and mutual benefit.
Also, the Foreign Minister Makhdoom Shah Mahmood Qureshi met with the United Nations Secretary General's Special Representative (SRSG) on Afghanistan Tadamichi Yamamoto at the Foreign Office and underscored Pakistan's sincere and consistent efforts towards promoting peace, stability and prosperity in Afghanistan. The reconstruction and humanitarian activities of the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) were also discussed. He stressed that while efforts of all stakeholders were important, the ultimate arbiters of the future of Afghanistan were only the Afghan themselves.
On 2 July 2019, the 4th round of Bilateral Political Consultations between Pakistan and Russia was held in Moscow. The two sides held a comprehensive review of the bilateral relations and identified areas for further cooperation in political, economic, trade, investment, defence, energy, agriculture, education, culture and tourism. It was agreed that the sixth session of Inter Governmental Commission would be held in Islamabad at mutually agreed dates. Both sides agreed to enhance parliamentary exchanges to deepen bilateral cooperation and develop understanding for each other's view.
From 3rd to 4th July 2019, the first Six Nations Regional Cooperation Meeting against terrorism, drug trafficking, illegal migration and organized crimes was held in Istanbul, Turkey. The countries represented at the Meeting included Turkey, Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Iran, Iraq and Pakistan. Pakistan delegation to the Meeting was led by Secretary for Interior, Mr. Azam Suleman Khan. The Meeting was aimed at establishing a new cooperation mechanism among the regional countries to deal with the issues of terrorism, irregular migration, drug trafficking and organized crimes.
Finally, I would also like to mention that some 512 artifacts dating back to second and third millennium BC, stolen and smuggled from Pakistan to France were seized by French Customs at Paris Airport during 2006-7. Taking notice of the issue of stolen and seized artifacts of Pakistan in foreign countries, Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi instructed the Ministry and its Missions in respective countries to engage with the host governments for their repatriation to Pakistan. After verification of their origin and completion of tedious and protracted legal and administrative formalities, four hundred and eighty six (486) archaeological artifacts were handed over by the French government to the Embassy of Pakistan, Paris on 2 July 2019.
Question: There has been controversy regarding Prime Minister Imran Khan's visit to Russia in the last few days. Will the Prime Minister go to Russia to attend Eastern Economic Forum? Is there any meeting of the Prime Minister with President Putin under consideration? (Ms. Rashida Sial – Aab Tak)
Answer: Media reports about the visit of the Prime Minister to the Russian Federation are speculative. The two sides remain engaged at the highest level. Details will be shared at the appropriate time.
Question: Why the State Department of USA was not aware of the visit of the Prime Minister to the US, which caused a lot of confusion. The White House had to issue a clarification in this regard? (Mr. Zahid Farooq Malik – Daily Metro Watch)
Supplementary Question: After the announcement in last briefing that the Prime Minister will be visiting the US on the invitation of President Trump, your tweet yesterday stating that confirmation of the visit will be shared "at an appropriate time", created a lot of confusion. Would you please clarify? (Mr. Adeel Warriach – Dunya TV)
Supplementary Question: Would you please comment that why such confusion regarding Prime Minister's visit to the US had emerged? Would you also share the official members of Prime Minister's entourage to the US? Lastly, whether the Prime Minister will stay in Pakistan Embassy in Washington D.C? (Mr. Mateen Haider – G-News)
Supplementary Question: It has been reported that the visit of the Prime Minister to US is a state visit. In case of state visit, the Prime Minister is supposed to stay at Blair House. However, in this case, the Prime Minister has stated that he would stay in Pakistan Embassy. Your comments please? (Mr. Naveed Siddiqui – Dawn News)
Supplementary Question: Will the issue of Dr. Shakeel Afridi be discussed during the upcoming visit of the Prime Minister to the United States? (Ms. Rabia Peer – VoA Dewa Radio)
Supplementary Question: Will the Prime Minister raise the issue of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui during his upcoming visit to the US? There are reports in the media hinting release of Dr. Aafia Siddiqui? (Khawaja Nayyar Iqbal – Media Today)
Answer: A detailed press release has already been issued. Both sides have issued curtain raisers about the forthcoming visit of Prime Minister Imran Khan to Washington. Further details are being worked out. The visit will have positive impact on Pak-US bilateral relations as well as regional peace, stability and prosperity.
Question: The International Court of Justice (ICJ) will deliver it's judgment in the case of Commander Jadhav on 17 July 2019. What are Pakistan's expectations and likely reaction to the verdict?' (Mr. Naveed Siddiqui – Dawn News)
Answer: As you are aware the ICJ will announce its verdict in the case of Commander Jadhav on 17 July 2019. Commander Jadhav is a serving Indian naval officer involved in espionage, subversive and terrorist activities against Pakistan. He is the overt face of Indian state terrorism against Pakistan. His terrorist activities have resulted in loss of many innocent lives and damage to property.
Pakistan is a responsible member of the international community and will not speculate or comment on a sub-judice case.
Question: Would you please share the agenda of upcoming Kartarpur Corridor meeting between Pakistan and India? (Khawaja Nayyar Iqbal – Media Today)
Supplementary Question: Reportedly, Pakistan has completed 80% of the work on Kartarpur Corridor. Has India shared any details of completed work on their side? (Mr. Adeel Warriach – Dunya TV)
Supplementary Question: During the last meeting on Kartarpur Corridor, the Indian side had raised some issues. Further to this, the Indian side is also claiming that Pakistan has not addressed their concerns. Your comments please? (Ms. Rashida Sial – Aab Tak)
Answer: A press release regarding the meeting between Pakistan and India scheduled to take place on 14 July has already been issued. Indian delegation will come to Pakistan for the meeting at Wagah. This is the second meeting to discuss the draft Agreement between Pakistan and India, on Kartarpur Corridor.
As announced by the Prime Minister, Pakistan is committed to operationalising the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor in time for the 550th celebrations in November this year. Work proceeds expeditiously on the Pakistan side with more than 70% of the Gurdwara complex, border terminal and the road being completed. Regarding the question on completion of work on Indian side, there are reports that work is ongoing.
As per practice, the details of the draft agreement cannot be shared with the media at negotiations stage. Therefore, Pakistan will uphold the sanctity of this practice. As and when the agreement concludes, we will share the details with you accordingly.
Question: Would you please update us on Doha talks? (Mr. Zargoon Shah – Geo TV)
Answer: We believe that "Doha talks" between the stakeholders are a positive development. Pakistan's role in facilitating talks and Afghan Peace process has been acknowledged and appreciated. Pakistan has been supporting the Afghan Peace process with all sincerity and in good faith. We believe in a politically negotiated Afghan led and Afghan owned solution to the Afghan conflict.
Pakistan will continue its policy to support international efforts that are meant to bring durable and sustainable peace in Afghanistan.
Question: Iran has announced that it will enrich uranium and violate the terms of the JCPOA. IAEA special meeting has been called to review the situation. How does Pakistan view this situation? (Ms. Shumaila Andleeb – APP)

Answer: I do not have any such information.
Question: Anti-Pakistan activities and propaganda were seen during the world cup cricket match between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Has Pakistan taken up the matter with the British government formally? (Mr. Mateen Saeed)
Answer: We have condemned this incident. The issue has been raised with the Government of UK by our High Commission in London and also with the UK High Commissioner in Islamabad by the Foreign Minister. We believe that such sports events should not be used for political gimmicks.
Question: Why the news reports regarding the visit of the Prime Minister to Russia were refuted by the Russian Government first, whereas, the news reports regarding the visit of the Prime Minister of Pakistan were carried by the South Asian media. Later, the Foreign Office issued a clarification. Why there was such a delay in clarifying the situation? (Mr. Majid Jarral – News One TV)
Answer: I have already responded to this question.
Question: It is reported that embassies of various countries in Pakistan are allegedly involved in the smuggling of illegal liquor to Pakistan. Reportedly, during the last month containers of eight embassies were captured and seized by the Customs authorities in Karachi. Those containers were shipped to Pakistan in the name of food items.
Secondly, Express Tribune has carried a news report entitled "US concerned over North Koreans 'working' on CPEC projects" by Mr. Zafar stating that "the United States has expressed serious concerns over the possible employment of North Korean nationals in the China-Pak Economic Corridor (CPEC) projects in Pakistan. Sources told the Express Tribune that the US Embassy in Islamabad had approached the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to convey its serious concerns over the "rumors" that Chinese companies were likely involved in hiring services of North Korea to execute CPEC projects in Pakistan." (Mr. Anas Mallick – WION TV)
Answer: Regarding your first question, facts are being ascertained.
As for your second question, Pakistan has been fully implementing the UNSC sanctions relating to the DPRK and no work visas have been issued to any DPRK national.
Question: There was a story published in Economic Times that an understanding was reached between the US and China on the designation of Masood Azhar as a terrorist.

Reportedly, the British government is also investigating the utilization of aid given by it? (Mr. Shamim Masih – Online International News Network)
Answer: There is no connection between the two issues. As far as the protection of minorities is concerned, Pakistan is fully committed to protect rights of minorities and our policy in this regard is very clear.
As for your second part of question, I will check and let you know.
Question: Tensions in bilateral relations between Pakistan and Bangladesh have intensified once again. Has the government of Bangladesh issued Agrément to our High Commissioner-designate? Secondly, there was also ongoing problem regarding the issuance of visas to Bangladeshi diplomats based in Islamabad who cannot travel on account of expiry of their visas. Will you please update us in this regard. (Mr. Mateen Haider – G-News)
Answer: Earlier, the Government of Bangladesh had denied Agrément to our High Commissioner-designated to Bangladesh. We are in the process of designating a new envoy to Bangladesh.
Pakistan's visas are pending with Dhaka. We are working to resolve the issue and would update you accordingly.
Question: What is the total expenditure on Kartarpur Corridor and who is funding the project? (Ms. Rabia Peer – VoA Dewa Radio)
Answer: The Government of Pakistan is funding the project. At present, I do not have details of the expenditure.

Nonlinear Wave Modeling
In this paper, we study theoretically the evolution of leading waves due to a sudden disturbance. We first revisit the asymptotic solutions of linear dispersive equations for the leading wave train caused by a surface disturbance in a constant depth. The applicability of these theoretical predictions is then examined. Finally, we attempt to explore the connection between the profiles of the asymptotic solutions and the familiar sinusoidal waves and solitary waves.

Bramble Hospitality, the team behind Willowdale Estate, officially announced that sister property Briar Barn Inn is now open in historic Rowley, Massachusetts. Briar Barn Inn offers guests a distinctive farmhouse experience in a custom post-and-beam barn that will debut in late February 2019.
Briar Barn Inn is a joint venture between artist Charlotte Forsythe and her husband, architect Gerald Fandetti, along with their daughter Briar Rose Forsythe. Briar established Willowdale Estate as one of the area's most sought-after wedding and events destinations and is also the owner and founder of Bramble Hospitality, the operator of Briar Barn Inn. The four-acre full-service property is the first of its kind in the area, bringing dining, weddings, overnight retreats, and a spa to one dynamic property.
"We were inspired by the classic architecture of New England, and the beautiful neighboring buildings and farmhouses in the historic district of Rowley provided the perfect location to bring Briar Barn Inn to life," says architect and developer Gerald Fandetti. "When you're at Briar Barn Inn, there's a feeling that you're a part of this small village, and we really wanted the design of the inn to capture that feeling."
"We are so thrilled to introduce Briar Barn Inn and welcome guests to this property that is truly a passion project for the entire Bramble Hospitality team," says owner Briar Forsythe. "The town of Rowley and this area of New England is such a beautiful and peaceful place, and we think guests are really going to enjoy visiting and exploring the area and all that this property has to offer. We look forward to debuting Grove in early 2019, with a sophisticated yet approachable menu that will reflect only the best ingredients and flavors of the region. There's something for everyone to enjoy at Briar Barn Inn."

Magic mushrooms are no longer just a psychedelic that you hear trippy stories about. New research shows that the substance that once seemed taboo (sound familiar?) could actually help treat severe cases of depression and is on the path toward legalization. So, yes, this means that sometime soon, doctors could literally prescribe patients with doses of shrooms.
According to a new study, these mushrooms are now designated as a "breakthrough therapy" for a slew of issues, starting with depression. This nomination effectively brings them one step closer toward becoming a legally consumable drug.
But how exactly did this revelation come about? The active ingredient in magic mushrooms is psilocybin, which is behind the "high" feeling of euphoria and the psychedelic visual distortions. Scientists are now researching the benefits of psilocybin on treating depression and a variety of other ailments — and so far, they're finding positive results.
The recent study spearheading these revelations was conducted by King's College London and COMPASS Pathways and found that volunteer participants who suffered from treatment-resistant depression were able to safely consume and tolerate psilocybin with no adverse effects. This is the largest study of its kind to date, and the results encourage more research. The course of this program analyzed the effects of a 10 mg dose and a 25 mg dose, tested against a placebo, on 89 volunteers that experience treatment-resistant depression.
If the research continues to bear positive results, then one day it might be possible to use psilocybin as a form of therapy. COMPASS Pathways is already studying how psilocybin can be used alongside a specially trained therapist to treat depression.
"We are focused on getting psilocybin therapy safely to as many patients who would benefit from it as possible," said Dr. Ekaterina Malievskaia, the co-founder of COMPASS Pathways. "We are grateful to the many pioneering research institutions whose work over the years has helped to demonstrate the potential of psilocybin in medicine."
In the 1970s, former President Ronald Reagan mounted the war on drugs, a national campaign that demonized drugs and filled-up prisons. During this time, LSD, psilocybin and mescaline were designated as 'Schedule 1' substances in the UN Conventions on Drugs, meaning they were not allowed to be prescribed by the medical community. Nearly 40 years later, these psychedelic drugs are finally being researched as possible treatments for addiction, Alzheimer's disease, anorexia, obsessive-compulsive disorder and migraines.
The gap between party drugs and medical drugs has always existed, but emerging research is working to narrow this divide. Cannabis has gone through a monumental cultural shift in recent years as attitudes toward drug have softened and evidence of its medical benefits have hardened. Recreational marijuana is now legal in 11 states for those over 21 years of age. A far cry from the days of Reefer Madness.

What to Look for When Buying a Tornado Shelter
If you live in the Midwest or any other area that experiences high fluctuations in weather patterns, you may have already experienced some form of storm or tornado; and if you are moving to the Midwest, you may be wondering how you can protect yourself from these occurrences. Luckily, many companies out there sell and install highly durable tornado shelters to keep you and your family safe and away from harm. When buying such a shelter, it is important to do your research and buy one that is convenient for you and suited to the setting. Therefore, the following is a good break down of what you should look for when buying a tornado shelter:
Is it Certified?
Certified shelters are tested multiple times and are proven to stay intact even after a direct hit from a storm or tornado. If you are going to buy a shelter, always make sure that FEMA (the federal Emergency Management Agency) has approved its usage, as these are much more reliable, cost effective, and have the proper structural integrity. These guys build tornado shelters that are rated to withstand an EF5 tornado. You want to look for shelters that meet that requirement for sure!
Do You Need an Above or Below Ground Shelter?
Both types of shelters, if built properly, are effective at protecting you from a tornado. However, deciding which one is better for you depends on your situation. An above shelter is normally easier for handicapped or elderly people to come in and out of, while underground shelters may be better for individuals who are easily able to move. Regardless, both are equally suited for any storm.
Are There Multiple Doors?
Make sure there are multiple ways to get in and out of the shelter in case there could be debris that blocks passage through one of the entrances. Also, make sure that all doors are sturdy and properly latched. It may be just a small part of your entire shelter, but the door insures that your structure is safe and storm proof.
Ensure Proper Ventilation
If disaster does strike and you are forced to reside in the shelter for an extended period of time, make sure there is enough ventilation without compromising the structural integrity of the structure. Since you may not know how long you would need to stay inside your shelter, it is best to have ventilation that makes it easy to take in oxygen.
Indoor Shelters vs. Outdoor Shelters
Both indoor shelters and outdoor shelters are efficient at protecting you. However, an indoor shelter may be better in terms of saving time for you and your family to get to safety in situations of quick emergencies.
Outdoor shelters, however, are better in terms of saving space inside your home, and giving better access for your neighbors to use if you do decide to share the same shelter.
Anything Else?
There are many different things that go into deciding which shelter is perfect for you. However, it all depends on your situation and your needs, but always make sure the shelter is manufactured from a respectable company and is FEMA certified.
