Abortion Bans Failed in the 19th Century. They'll Also Fail in the 21st.
History provides a window into how abortion bans will play out if re-instituted.
Alexis Garcia | 9.16.2019 12:15 PM
Over the last year, nine states have passed aggressive anti-abortion measures that aim to restrict access to early abortion procedures. The new bans, which have yet to take effect, are a direct challenge to the 1973 Supreme Court ruling in Roe v. Wade, which established a woman's right to obtain an abortion without excessive government restriction.
The wave of new state laws criminalizing the procedure has generated protests from pro-choice advocates and has inflamed an already complicated debate that centers on how to best protect life while also maintaining women's liberty in making reproductive choices.
Before Roe v. Wade, government prohibition wasn't particularly effective in eliminating the practice. Even after the first state laws criminalizing abortion were passed in the late-nineteenth century, women found ways to obtain the procedure, all while faced with the threat of arrest and prosecution. Upper-class white women were more likely to find relatively safe ways to break the law, while minorities and the poor turned to shady operators, risking infertility and death.
Abortion Before 1850: Commonly Practiced and Perfectly Legal
Before the 1850s, local papers from Kansas to New York had ads for "female pills" promising "relief for ladies." Female physicians like Madame Restell solicited clients looking "to be treated for obstruction of the monthly period." But the use of coded language merely reflected the Victorian-era's sensibilities. Up until the 19th-century, abortion of early pregnancy was legal and common.
These abortion ads stirred little controversy. Bearing children was risky and women were about 40 times more likely to die giving in childbirth than today.
Abortive tonics and potions were generally ineffective and potentially dangerous, but determined women could turn to midwives or physicians for procedures that roughly mirrored modern techniques. When Abortion Was a Crime by University of Illinois historian Leslie Reagan documents how terminating pregnancies was both common practice and an open secret. An estimated one in five women had an abortion during this period, and they tended to be married and upper-class.
Prevalent cultural attitudes of the time only viewed abortion after the first trimester as immoral. Before the 1850s, the turning point from legal to illegal was known as the "quickening," or when a woman could feel the fetus move, which generally happens in the second trimester. Quickening was an important distinction under common law and Catholic doctrine.
Abortion After the 1850s: The Medical Establishment vs. Expert Midwives
Public sentiment shifted in the second half of the nineteenth century. The criminalization of abortion began mainly as a business tactic to bring women's reproductive health under control of the emerging physician class.
Accredited male doctors campaigned to pass abortion bans at the state and federal level as a way to shut down unlicensed, and mostly female, practitioners with the end goal to establish state control over the medical profession.
It was the newly formed American Medical Association, under the direction of Dr. Horatio Storer, that led the effort in criminalizing abortion. Storer made a passionate moral argument against the procedure, which had the effect of delegitimizing expert female practitioners.
Again, media coverage skewed the reality of abortion procedures. The death rate from abortions performed by midwives and physicians were nearly identical, yet news reports blamed non-accredited female practitioners with sensationalized stories of women bleeding to death from botched procedures.
Storer also capitalized on fears of falling birth rates among white, native-born women, arguing that if they were allowed to abort it would hasten the takeover of the country by foreigners and people of color. He envisioned the "spread of civilization" west and south to be done by native-born white Americans, not by people of color. In 1894, then New York City Police Commissioner Teddy Roosevelt called white women who sought abortions "race criminals."
The American Medical Association's efforts were a resounding success in driving the practice underground. By 1880, most states had passed laws that prohibited abortion except when a woman's life was in danger—and generally male doctors got to make the decision when it came to a woman's personal health. The American Medical Association also scored a victory at the federal level with the passage of the 1873 Comstock Law, an anti-obscenity bill that prohibited sending abortion and birth control information through the U.S. Postal Service.
Abortion from 1900 to 1941: The Failure of Criminalization
While abortions were illegal, most women were still able to obtain one from sympathetic physicians and midwives who tended to disregard the law and comply with their patient's requests. Over more than a century of criminalization—from after the Civil War to the passage of Roe v. Wade—scholars, including Regan, estimate that a quarter of all pregnancies ended in abortion.
Another consequence of abortion bans was law enforcement interfering in private lives. Cops fought back against illegal abortions with arrests, interrogations, and prosecution. Police officers and prosecutors threatened doctors with jail time to get them to collaborate with local law enforcement in punishing women who sought their services.
In 1902, the Journal of the American Medical Association advised physicians to demand bedside statements of exoneration before treating women who had undergone botched abortions. Men whose lovers had died while having a pregnancy terminated were sometimes arrested and charged with failing to fulfill their paternal obligations.
By the Great Depression, abortion was illegal in every state and yet the practice had become more common. Medical studies and sex surveys indicated that women of every social class turned to abortion in greater numbers as the economy deteriorated.
But only the wealthy and well-connected could safely obtain the procedure through the loophole of medical necessity. This generally involved paying out of pocket to be examined by three doctors including a psychiatrist, who would make a recommendation to a hospital board.
Women who couldn't afford this option turned to illegal providers, whose methods brought the risk of permanent infertility or death.
Abortion from 1941 to 1973: The Crackdown Intensifies—And Still Fails
The crackdown on abortion intensified with World War II. Physicians joined hospitals and clinics en masse, which brought institutional scrutiny of their decisions. States tried to close the loophole exploited by wealthy women by mandating approval from a hospital-appointed committee. Police raided abortion facilities and then physically examined the arrestees while in custody.
Getting a safe abortion became harder, so the practice went further underground. Organizations like The Clergy Consultation Service, founded by a group of Protestant ministers and Jewish rabbis, ferried women to states where abortion was legal. By 1970 the group was helping an estimated 150,000 women a year terminate their pregnancies. Other groups helped women travel to Mexico or Puerto Rico to have the procedure done safely.
Women who could not access reliable services turned to nefarious, untrained practitioners. The result was a spike in death rates from abortions in the 1960s. Researchers at UCLA predicted that criminalization would result in the deaths of five thousand women each year during this time period.
Abortion from 1973 to the Present: The Roe v. Wade Era
Hospitalizations from botched abortions became a national epidemic. Treating women who had abortion complications helped convince a segment of the medical community that once called for restrictive bans to push for decriminalization.
The profession's about-face set the stage for the Supreme Court's 1973 decision in Roe v. Wade, which struck down state laws criminalizing abortion as unconstitutional.
Today, that decision could be overturned by the high court's conservative majority. If that happens, it will not only once again drive the practice underground, but also result in a whole new realm of state surveillance and misapplication of laws to monitor women's bodies.
As with the prohibition of drugs, alcohol, and sex work, a legal ban on abortion wouldn't be effective because a majority of Americans don't believe that the practice should be illegal.
But they also have an easier time than ever before of not getting pregnant in the first place. One of the biggest changes since the days when abortion first became a crime in the nineteenth century is better birth control. Today wider access to contraception has driven the U.S. abortion rate down to its lowest levels since the passage of Roe v. Wade, and that number could be brought down even further by making the pill available over-the-counter.
The major lesson of history is that activists should focus on changing individual minds because outlawing a widely accepted practice always leads to more human suffering.

Nice one BB, can I just add that the .243 ruling for deer isn`t totally correct as here in Scotland we can and do use .22 CENTREFIRE calibres for Roe and I believe CWD & Munties can be shot with similar calibres but as yet the police are playing catch up with the terms for these deer and hopefully they will be sorted soon.
As BB has stated previously it's worth visiting the BASC site (http://www.basc.org.uk/) if you are doing any field shooting.
I highly recommend becoming a member as not only to do get access to a mine of information and advice but also you receive insurance cover. BASC also lobby legislators and help protect our sport and environment.
In Lauren and Cathryn's case, it would probably, if you definitely want a rifle as well, be better to apply for what is called 'co-terminous' certificates, when you can save ten or twenty quid by getting the firearms and shotgun certs at the same time. As you have land, that isn't an issue, so I suggest that you both apply at the same time for co-terminous shotgun/firearms. Get a cabinet with a lockable top that is large enough to accommodate one rifle and several shotguns (I can get them for you at a reduced price from my wholesaler).
It might also be a good idea to get a bit of training - the chap who runs my rifle club does shooting training for the Forestry Commission and issues certificates of training which the police accept. You could also put me down as a 'mentor' who will advise you on such matters.
If you're really serious about having a rifle, I'd suggest you both popped down for a day or so, and I could arrange some professional coaching and certification, and then take you shooting on some land I control bunnies on.
Thank you (sorry I feel I am hijacking the thread a bit). I need to think about this some more but I know Loren definitely wants to do more and I want to encourage this so will learn at the same time. (She always enjoyed pistol shooting even in the depths of winter at the freezing cold gun club that we used.) We will definitely get a lot more local training.

I have this: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/23/6a3t.jpg/
And i would like this: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/809/kesm.jpg/

A: If you put the FrameLayout with match_parent width and height inside a LinearLayout all the content will hide out of the screen.
There are 2 forms to add that footer:
First, set the framelayout with this sizes:
<FrameLayout
        android:id="@android:id/tabcontent"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="0dp"
        android:layout_weight="1">

Two, use a RelativeLayout and set all content bellow others and add the footer with layout_alignParentBottom = true if you want to add the footer above the content or bellow the last view if you want that the footer be with the content.

A: How about ListView.addFooterView?
From documentation:

Add a fixed view to appear at the bottom of the list. If addFooterView
  is called more than once, the views will appear in the order they were
  added. Views added using this call can take focus if they want.
NOTE: Call this before calling setAdapter. This is so ListView can
  wrap the supplied cursor with one that will also account for header
  and footer views.

A: maybe this can help you.
create a file called footer.xml
and add this code to it
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="40dp"

        />

    <View

        />

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/opencam"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight=".14"
        android:background="@drawable/action_bar_left_button"
        android:src="@drawable/camera_9"
        android:scaleType="fitXY"
        android:hapticFeedbackEnabled="true"
        android:soundEffectsEnabled="true"
        />
    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/color"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_weight=".14"
        android:background="@drawable/action_bar_left_button"
        android:src="@drawable/stylish_9"
        android:scaleType="fitXY" />
        <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/rborder"
        android:layout_width="0dp"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:background="@drawable/action_bar_left_button"
        android:src="@drawable/frame_9"
        android:layout_weight=".14"
        android:scaleType="fitXY"/>

</LinearLayout>

and then in your main layout
add this code
 <LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="40dp"
    android:id="@+id/down"
    android:layout_alignParentBottom="true" >

    <include
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent"
        layout="@layout/footer" >

    </include>
</LinearLayout>

this will give you a footer. and you can change the gravity to make it as header as well.
i know you are asking for tabs, but thought i should share it with you maybe it benefit you in anyway.

July 21, 2019 April 20, 2020 | southamericaonthecheap_ht0kzt
I seek to stay in hostels everywhere I go, not just to save money and maintain on the cheap, but to meet other travelers in a more social setting than a hotel. The communal habitat promotes more interaction and communication, and the exchange of vital information, pointers and tips can be priceless. I've met some terrific folks on the road, and many of us prefer places such as these. Keep in mind, however, people move, places change and sell, get worse or improve, so nothing lasts forever. So this compilation will be dynamic, and always changing, and definitely not static. An example is a hostel I would include on this list, if only it hadn't gone out of business. RIP 41 Below in Bariloche, may you rise again like a Phoenix. So dig, if you will, and may the hall expand and extend……
The Buddha, Laureles, Medellin, Colombia
I was lucky enough to find and book this place before landing there, and even after I later moved to Medellin and got an apartment nearby, continued to frequent the place for a beer and meeting other wanderers. Spacious interior and stellar garden with a lot of places to relax, and a location that provides easy access to the dining and entertainment stretch of Carrera 70 towards the stadium. Super cool staff with lots of ideas and a collective feel to the big casa.
http://buddha-hostel.hotels-in-medellin.com/es/
La Terraza del Centro, Cordoba, Argentina
There are very few cities that have as vibrant a zone of restaurants and assorted entertainment as bodacious as Cordoba, and so proximity to that Guemes neighborhood is always a factor for me. The Terraza is located in a favorable part of the center, with everything close, and the vibe is friendly as all hell. Once again, it's the people who make the difference, and the staff here are about as good as it gets, in all categories. The digs are snug and clean. and the rooftop patio and parilla is a congenial spot to watch the sunset and toast your new friends. Everything worth seeing is within walking distance, and one of South America's best bar scenes is an easy15 minute stroll away. The only real negative is tied to its' 'close to everything good' location, so traffic noise outside makes earplugs almost compulsory. Never the less, I won't stay anywhere else in Cordoba, one of my favorite cities in Argentina. https://www.booking.com/hotel/ar/hostel-la-terraza-del-centro.es-ar.html
La Humahuacasa, Humahuasca, Argentina
I stayed two nights here exploring the vast quebrada and it is cozy, convenient, everything works, and the hosts, Paola and Juan, are ultra helpful and generous with their time and suggestions. Breakfast is tasty, the wifi solid, and the fully equipped kitchen and outdoor grill are ready to go. The casa feels like it grew out of the ground here, rustico, autentico, and truly relaxing. Two blocks from the plaza, and three from the bus station, it's a fine base for exploring the supernatural far north of the country. http://www.humahuacasa.com.ar/
La Casa del Viajero El Bolson, Argentina
The main commmunal cabin at El Viajero
Agustin Aporro built the first hostel in El Bolson, a couple of kilometers from the town center but much closer to great hiking trails, such as the stellar Catarata Escondida. His funky compound of private and communal cabins is on a big lot with a trout pond, organic garden, and greenhouse, a little slice of heaven on the other side of the river. He is likewise a wealth of vital info regarding the entire region not to mention El Bolson itself. It's a cheap taxi or a leisurely walk to town, and it's my base whenever I get to Patagonia, which isn't often enough. http://www.lacasadelviajero.com.ar/
Hostel del Gualicho Puerto Madryn, Argentina
Big lockers, comf beds, individual reading lights and all the intangibles
Four blocks from the beach, and five from the bus terminal, a prime location isn't the only thing Gualicho has going for it. Sparkling clean, organized and spacious common areas inside and out, along with an excellent breakfast buffet. But again it's the people that make the difference, and the staff here is a great example. Always friendly and ready to share the 'inside' information, the Gualicho gang puts guest service into the A+ category. Individual reading lights in each bunk bed is indicative of doing the little things that add up big. http://www.elgualicho.com.ar/
Secret Garden, Cotopaxi, Ecuador
The Secret Garden is one of those places that I found out about through the grapevine and it lived up to the hype 100%. A couple of hours outside of Quito, it's actually closest to the small town of Machachi, but the imposing legendary volcano is front and center, offering a sensational view. The Garden offers a bunch of different lodging options, from trippy Hobbit Homes, to birdhouses in the trees, to small cabins with wood stoves. The prices include 3 meals a day, free coffee and tea, a wood heated hot tub, free maps and picnic lunches, and a complimentary two hour hike to a beautiful waterfall right out the backdoor. There are lots of tours offered at very reasonable prices, including a hike to the snow line on Cotopaxi at 5000+ meters altitude, which is $ very well spent. The food on offer is healthful, nutritious, and delicious, and the international staff is super cool, always accommodating, and fun loving. The Secret Garden makes for a tremendous stop for travelers looking for the absolute best of Ecuador. http://secretgardencotopaxi.com/blog3/
Punto Verde Eco Hostel, Montanitas, Ecuador
One of the locals that hang around the Ponto Verde
This was another surprise that exceeded expectations after arriving on the Ecuador coast during the mayhem of New Years. This hilltop hacienda is the creation of Joos, a dynamo from Holland who traded her houseboat for this property sight unseen, an amazing leap of faith. She built several new additions to the original cabin, and completely created an astonishing oasis just a 15 minute walk into the heart of party central. She really learned by doing, using local materials and indeed constructed an outstanding lodge at the end of a dirt road just a short walk up off the highway. The beach is closer, and the distance from the nocturnal commotion is a blessing in terms of peace and quiet. Solid bunk beds, lockers and hammocks, a couple of sensational sunset patios and a setting that just puts you at ease. With a place this unique, the visitors likewise are uncommonly cool.
Good local breakfast, solid wifi, and Joos and the staff do everything to make you feel at home. I stayed almost a week here, more than I had planned, just because it was so chill. Tell Joos I sent you- https://www.booking.com/hotel/ec/punto-verde-casona.es.html
That's Joos' place up on the hill to the right

I traveled to this region earlier in the year, spending my time in Tilcara, 45 kilometers to the south in this massive quebrada. I was focused on learning a new area, so I came to Humahuaca, a much larger village, and that much closer to my real objective of the otherworldly settlement of Iruya.
Iruya is something else altogether
Humahuaca is situated at 1100 feet altitude, much like Tilacara and Purmamarca, its closest neighbors. Tourism seems to be the economic driver here, and there are a few features that visitors can access, such as the giant salt flats to the west, Valle Grande and Calilegua National Park to the southeast, and the celebrated multicolored hills throughout this immense gorge. The town itself has a historic center with narrow cobblestone streets, a clean traditional plaza with lots of shade trees, and all sorts of monuments. Chief among these is the very prominent memorial to the 'Heroes of the Independence' two blocks west of the plaza, with a promenade of steps leading up to a towering statue of the heroes, sitting atop the municipal museum of archeology. The views from the top are splendid, and it's obvious a lot of work was devoted to this site. Colonial style street lamps lend a lovely light, and this is a worthy place to witness the dusk settle over the big valley.
The top of the monument offers an excellent view
As in many of these isolated towns, there are a number of renowned old cathedrals and cultural centers, along with open air markets, a clock tower, and souvenir shops galore.
Of course there's a central plaza
Several outfitters can transport travelers to other points of interest outside of town, and there are ample opportunities for biking, hiking, and long distance trekking. I stayed two nights en route to a planned circuit of southern Bolivia, but my main purpose here was to get to Iruya, a place I had been inspired to visit by many who already had.
The road to Iruya
The turnoff to Iruya is 19 km north of Humahuaca on Hwy. 9, and from then on it's 54 km of dusty, bumpy, serpentine and steep pitches into the valley where the village sits perched on a mountain shelf at 2800 meters. Even a mountain dweller is likely to feel the altitude here which is deceiving, as this is the bottom of a valley, but there are 5000 meter mountains both north and south of here. 150 Argentine pesos was the fare, and while the destination is quite the payoff, scenic splendor wise, the actual road there is an engineering marvel. The first part climbs steadily through a number of tiny settlements and grazing animals until it reaches the crest of a high ridge. The abundant cactus is in full bloom in early December, and several familiar Arizona cousins are blended with odd altiplano plants.
A window seat is cumpulsory
The landscape becomes more dramatic and steep with the distance until it falls off that pronounced ridge into a series of switchbacks where large white rocks mark the edges. Which is a good thing, as fog or rain could render visibility near zero here, and competent drivers in a solid 4wd could feel spooked and compelled to crawl along at 5 mph white knuckling this entire stretch. Our driver, piloting a creaky old 40 passenger bus, handled it all like a maestro, no doubt due to his prolific mileage on this king's camino.
From this shrine on top of the pass it's all downhill
There is a religious shrine tucked into the big rocks at the top of this pass, and a crowd of locals were congregated here to mark some holy moment. Here it was downhill all the way into the bottom of a broad valley bordered by vertical cliffs and sheer bluffs. Finally the fabled pueblo comes into view, a postcard perched on the bottom of a precipitous mountain. I've never seen a place quite like it, and although some of the desert on the way in is stark and daunting, the living beauty is something else altogether. As John Muir or Ed Abbey might say, life affirming, at the very least.
This is as far as the bus goes in Iruya, a bit below el centro
I complimented the driver on his road skill getting off, and he told me would be departing at 2:30, about 3 hours away. My foot ramble commenced with a search for something to eat, wandering narrow stone streets up through the mostly adobe buildings. It was Sunday, and there was a crowd of folks in and around the striking yellow church, with the sermon broadcast via loudspeakers outside. Built in 1690, this structure is the most prominent of all here and has held up quite well. Stopping into a store with a sign advertising empanadas and such, a crusty old guy answered my query with, 'No quedan nada, hippie', 'there's nothing left', which cracked me up, not so easy to do. I was sporting a daypack and no doubt looked like a vagrant of sorts, but this response surprised me. I do imagine that some of the locals get weary of the tourist day trippers, if only because this place is so isolated that everybody is an 'us or them' to some degree, and as many resist the changes as embrace them. And change used to be much slower here, for sure.
Not many skaters on these streets
Continuing my climb up to the limits of the center, I arrived at a locked up cemetery with million dollar views. Looping back down a lane which could be skied with enough snow brought me back down to the people's church, where I knocked out 3 small empanadas, carne and goat cheese at 15 pesos a piece.
A fine spot for some serious rest
This was enough fuel to do the trick and get me across the much newer, and solid as a rock pedestrian bridge which spans the broad and usually dry Iruya river, which must be a wild sight when it actually flows. I wandered through this other half of the village, mostly residential, with a jumbo dirt soccer field where first a boy's team, and then the girl's, each played a game.
The neighborhood on the other side of the river
It doesn't take much time to see most of what's here, and one more leisurely stroll delivered me to the most commercial block with a few hostels, cafes, and small stores surrounded a tiny covered plaza. The pace of life is slow in Iruya, sporadically interrupted by the tourist bus arrivals, and I killed the rest of my allotted time before returning to the idling bus at 2:15. Which was fortuitous, as after I paid my 150 for the return fare we took off at 2:19, with just a handful of riders and nobody I could recall from the ride in. So maybe all those visitors were staying the night, but if not they missed the 'boats' early launch.
Read them, know them, live them
The ride out was as pretty as the ride in, with a new appreciation for the pitch, curviness and route of the mighty road, and the worshippers were all still up around the shrine when we passed over the top. A couple of pick ups and drop offs later, and a quick pull in at the only real village on the way, San Isidro. The 73 kms between Humahuaca and Iruya takes almost 3 hours in good conditions, so a day trip definitely uses up a day. It is an amazing destination and worth the time, but plenty of peeps would enjoy an overnight stay to further absorb the glacial pace of the place. There are trails heading out in all directions, most going straight up, and mountain biking is likewise an option for fun. Don't miss it if the opportunity presents itself.
The road to Iruya is a serious piece of work
Vital Information
I stayed at the excellent La Humahuacasa hostel, 2 blocks from the central plaza at Buenos Aires 740. Paola and Juan are exceptional hosts, providing a tasty basic breakfast and super useful local knowledge on the area's delights. Shared and private rooms are very economical, the wifi is good, and a fully equipped kitchen and outdoor grill is ready to go. It makes for a fine base while exploring the area.
www.humahuacasa.com.ar info@humahuacasa.com.ar 0338 154 120868
There is no shortage of places to eat, ranging from swank tourist cafes to ultra local eateries offering everything from humitas to llama burgers. Just on the other side of Belgrano avenida is a sizable outdoor market where the locals buy everything from clothes and appliances to produce. This is the right place to stretch a peso to the limit.
There are a bunch of outfitters catering to vacationers looking to explore the countryside, trekking or biking, and excursions of all time frames and costs. The Bolivian border at La Quiaca is 160 km north, the appealing Tilcara 42 k to the south, with San Salvador de Jujuy, capitol city of the province and a major hub, another 84 k down Highway 9.
Four leg drive

The Quebrada Humahuaca is some rugged country
This dusty town is situated in the acclaimed multicolored valley that runs from north of the city of San Salvador de Jujuy towards the Bolivian border. Sitting between the 7 colored hills of Purmamarca to the south and the equally vivid hills of Humahuaca 42 kilometers to the north, it's a transportation hub serving this 100 mile long valley, and provides a plethora of accommodation options for visitors.
Tilcara is a dusty but charming little village
Tilcara lies at an altitude of 2400 meters, sandwiched by stark desert mountains on either side. The population of 10000 is employed primarily by the tourist industry, and most live in adobe houses that cover the level areas near the highway. It's a picturesque village with most traveler services available and is an ideal base for exploring the region.
The points of interest include the rebuilt ancient ruins of Pucara, where the original inhabitants lived until displaced by the Inca's in the 1500's.This settlement is located on a hill above the Rio Grande River immediately south of Tilcara and reached with an easy walk. The local indigenous community, Ayllu Mama Qolla, operates the site, along with a very impressive botanical garden full of local flora.The rock ruins are extensive, covering much of the hill which features hundreds of huge, wooly cactus which are shaggier cousins to the Saguaros of Arizona. An hour or two can easily be spent wandering the area, enjoying the views and taking pictures.
The ruins at Pucara
The other notable attraction is 6 kilometers up the Huasamayo River, which runs into the Rio Grande from the east. The Garganta del Diablo(the Devil's Throat), is a narrow chasm which was formed by an ancient earthquake. It now includes a hydroelectric plant that produces energy to the Pucara village but is an impressive geographical spectacle. A well maintained trail drops into the gulch from the entrance dwelling, with metal handrails to lend some comfort to folks prone to vertigo. A short walk further up the riverbed leads to a beautiful 10 meter waterfall surrounded by lush desert and some very lovely vegetation.
Like you might find at the bottom of the Grand Canyon
I was fortunate enough to start my hike in the morning when the sun was still low enough that the slopes of the canyon offered some shade, but by mid day, that relief was gone, and late comers going up while I was descending were all sweating profusely, with many inquiring, 'How much further'? I calculated most of these folks would give up before making it to the falls. But there's plenty of water to splash on your face, and each one of those might be good for a quarter mile.
Where there's water, there's green
Tilcara is a total dog town, with lots of hounds with a human to look after them, and even more doing it on their own in the streets. They all seem to behave pretty well, and I saw no fights or even major disagreements. People have a benevolent attitude towards most, and leave water and food out for the hungry. They are everywhere, sleeping in a dirt pile in the shade, wandering around in small packs like fired up pre teens, and quietly patrolling any outdoor patio where they might find some discarded food.
Siesta time for a couple of the Tilcara locals
The town has an abundance of lodging options, from bare bones hostels to sleek stone and glass B & B's. So many, in fact, that I have a difficult time believing that it ever fills up. The dining choices are likewise bountiful, elegant to way earthy, with many featuring local delicacies like Llama burgers and Humitas, a type of corn tamale. There are loads of free range chickens around, and cheap, filling street food , especially empanadas. My 180 peso hostel, the very chill Andino, served a decent breakfast with coffee included, and that seems to be the rule in Argentina's north.
A ditch at the bottom of the Garganta del Diablo, Tilcara
All this makes Tilcara an excellent base to explore the area from, with the fabled dead end village of Iruya two hours to the north, and the colorful trails around Purmamarca. less than 20 km to the south. Two days might not be enough, and maybe 3 too many, depending on how relaxed you want to be, but I know some who could spend a very leisurely week.

Stretch Out
Once I read about this place, in an excellent Uruguay guide written by Tim Burford, I was ready to go, as it sounded like a wild region in the middle of nowhere, always a personal favorite. Asking about it, even friends who grew up in the Rivera region had heard of it but knew nothing. […]
I had heard vague and mostly non informative reports about the 'blue holes' almost since moving to Uruguay. But though many locals had indeed heard of it, nobody had actually been there. And the scarce written information was uniformly negative, slamming the dried up, muddy pozos, the constant threat of poisonous snakes, and the insufferably […]
My second trip to this region was 11 months after my first, and my additional time on the bodacious Valdez peninsula greatly enhanced my grasp of the place. I spent just one night at the very cool Gualicho hostel in Madryn, after landing at Trelew airport and then getting a ride from a mighty friendly […]
My third trip to Patagonia was tremendous, great weather for all but one day and my best survey of the acclaimed mountain hostels that now number 15 in all. Once sleepy El Bolson, fabled hippie haven flanked by monumental mountain ranges, is growing at a stunning rate, and I counted a dozen new craft beer […]
This seductive village sits between mountain and lake, Tahoe style, an hour north of Bariloche but a world apart. It lies on the famed Seven Lakes route, which is actually more like seventeen, And this arm of mammoth lake #1, Nahuel huapi is among the prettiest rendezvous of land and water on the continent. Cerro […]
I seek to stay in hostels everywhere I go, not just to save money and maintain on the cheap, but to meet other travelers in a more social setting than a hotel.

This is done to preserve the anonymity of the people in that area, as some postcodes cover a very small area, sometimes a single building.

Binsey est un village de l'Oxfordshire, en Angleterre. Il est situé au cœur du comté, dans la vallée de la Tamise, à  au nord-ouest du centre-ville d'Oxford. Administrativement, il relève du borough non métropolitain de la Cité d'Oxford.

L'église paroissiale de Binsey, dédiée à sainte Marguerite, remonte au . Elle est monument classé de grade I depuis 1954. Près de l'église se trouve une fontaine miraculeuse, elle-même monument classé de grade II, qui est associée à la légende de sainte Frithuswith. Cette fontaine est appelée localement ,  étant employé dans son sens médiéval « baume, onguent guérisseur ». Lewis Carroll s'en serait inspiré pour le  (« puits à mélasse ») mentionné dans son roman Les Aventures d'Alice au pays des merveilles.

Le village de Binsey est également immortalisé dans le poème , « Les peupliers de Binsey », écrit en 1879 par le poète Gerard Manley Hopkins après l'abattage d'une rangée de peupliers plantés près de la Tamise.

Apprehensions not affecting five-gallon PC bottles - yet
Dan Hockensmith
Retailers were pulling polycarbonate baby bottles and water jugs off store shelves last week because of concern about bisphenol A safety. But signals were mixed about whether the news will impact sales of 5-gallon PC bottles for water coolers.
Canadian Health Minister Tony Clement has proposed a ban on PC baby bottles, and the U.S. National Toxicology Program issued a report April 14 on BPA's potential negative health effects on fetuses, infants and pregnant women - but neither raised PC water-cooler bottles as being a cause for concern.
``I would hope that science would dictate where we go on this,'' Joe Doss, spokesman for the Alexandria, Va.-based International Bottled Water Association, said in an April 22 telephone interview. Decades of testing by the Food and Drug Administration have affirmed that PC water-cooler bottles are safe, he said.
The Canadian Bottled Water Association in Richmond, Ontario, said the Canadian government reviewed 150 sets of data on food-contact plastics - including water-cooler bottles - before making its finding.
``As they have for years, Health Canada has again determined that PC water bottles used with water coolers are safe for use,'' CBWA Executive Director Elizabeth Griswold said in a news release. ``Health Canada should be commended for basing its decision on all evidence available, including by third-party researchers using widely accepted scientific methods.''
Several manufacturers of PC water-cooler bottles and closures, including Consolidated Container Corp. and Portola Packaging Inc., declined to comment.
Meanwhile, companies that provide bottled water in PET or glass containers are sensing an opportunity to increase sales.
``We're getting [new] orders and we've processed orders for customers,'' said Sylvia Lasko, spokeswoman for Winnipeg, Manitoba-based blow molder Dyna-Pro Environmental. ``We have a woman in sales who specializes in water-cooler bottles and she's just unbelievably busy.''
Dyna-Pro's clients include Canadian food retailers Federated Co-operatives Ltd. and Loblaw Cos. Ltd., as well as Alaska Commercial Co.'s AC Value Centers in Alaska and Piggly Wiggly LLC supermarkets in South Carolina. The company has been featured in recent reports on BPA by the Winnipeg Free Press and the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.
Breck Speed, chairman and chief executive officer of Mountain Valley Spring Co., said the Hot Springs, Ark., producer of glass and PET water bottles has received higher-than-normal call traffic inquiring about the safety of its products. Mountain Valley Springs' water-cooler bottles are glass - but that doesn't stop them from being misrepresented in the media, Speed said.
``On the evening news the other night, there was [a video] of a line of water bottles on a shelf and there was Mountain Valley Spring - in glass,'' he said.
IBWA's Doss acknowledged that the recent decision by Wal-Mart Stores Inc. to pull several products containing BPA off store shelves in Canada and the United States, as well as Nalgene Outdoor Products' announcement that it will phase out its Outdoor line of PC containers, might prompt more bottled-water distributors to think twice about PC water-cooler bottles.
Joel Tickner, a professor at the University of Massachusetts at Lowell and project director of the Lowell Center for Sustainable Production, said if there is evidence that 5-gallon coolers leach BPA into water, there should be a search for alternatives.
``I think the answer is somewhere in between the extremes on the issue. Are they deadly? Definitely no. Could they be leaching a potentially dangerous chemical into the water that could affect some people (children, pregnant women)? This is plausible,'' Tickner said in an e-mail.
``I haven't seen the data on leaching into such containers. I would also say there is enough scientific evidence on health risks from BPA to certain populations that it would make sense to seek alternatives (glass, tap) if there is evidence of leaching - even though a particular risk cannot be calculated.''

Lester Williams
Lester William Senior was born and raised in Antwerp, Belgium. Music was always around at home because Lester's father, Dave, is a dedicated jazz musician. In 2004 Lester followed the family musical tradition in his own way. "I want to be a DJ/entertainer", he decided. While still at school he invested in his first DJ gear with money earned from a vacation job.
Being a professional DJ for many many years now, Lester Williams has built up some experience. He has played several times at Tomorrowland, Ostend Beach, Dance D-Vison, Laundry Day & did the support act for the queen of pop "BEYONCE" (Sportpaleis).
Besides being a DJ, Lester is A&R at CNR Records. Belgium's leading independent label, known from artists s.a. 'Lost Frequencies', 'Regi', 'Gers Pardoel', 'Jebroer' & compilations s.a. the Tommorowland CD.
Lester Williams is an official DJCity ambassador & is a proud resident in 3 of Belgium's leading clubs (all over the country). He spends most of his fridays at "The Villa Antwerp", by far the hottest club in Antwerp. "Carré" (Willebroek/Brussels), Belgium's most famous club for over decades, is Lester's playground on saturday nights since 2010. The weekend ain't over till sunday... Where you'll find him rocking club "Diedjies" (Kuurne/West Flanders).
With the slogan "NO RULES", Lester wants his audience to know that there are no limits. The message is very clear... 'Hold onto your seats' if you find yourself at any event where Lester Williams is performing!

Choosing the right document is critical to your success.
At Beyond Counsel, we believe that the "right" documents are concise, easy to read, and clear for your clients.
Having the right documents is just the first step in an efficient and effective practice. Drafting the right document with software that is easy to use, well-supported, and intuitive so that you can create your client's estate plans as quickly and accurately as possible keeps you on target.
Over the last fifteen years, our system has produced over one million (1,000,000) documents, for lawyers and law firms all over the country.
When you choose BeyondCounsel's estate-planning system for your practice, you join a army of attorneys who share your knowledge, and rest easy in the confidence that the documents produced by our system are practice tested, continuously evolved and Beyond your client's expectations.
Beyond Counsel puts clients first. Our client centric drafting approach uses Grammarly approved "first person" language that's relatable and understandable.
We believe that this approach allows your clients to better engage with the documents, and limits your time explaining them. Our software creates customized documents that are legally sufficient to accomplish your clients' goals, but uses language that is READABLE.
Other systems throw in the kitchen sink. We believe that concise documents are harder to draft then longer documents.
The result is that the final documents are effective in meeting your clients' estate planning needs, and that you gain a reputation among your clients for effective documents that the average person can understand.
The value of client-comprehensible documents can't be overstated. Not only do our documents reduce the time you spend explaining esoteric and/or boilerplate language to your clients, but a document your client understands is one they feel secure in, which results in greater trust in you and your work. You also get the security of knowing that your client is truly getting what they planned for and asked you to provide.
Beyond Counsel doesn't believe in re-inventing the wheel every day.
As any estate planner will tell you, many of your clients likely fit into a handful of estate-planning situations that you handle over and over again throughout your practice; while the names, dollar amounts, and specifics change, the general situations tend to fall into a few frequently-seen categories. Beyond Counsel's Scenario Builder allows you to create and save custom Scenarios for the types of estate plans you use the most. Scenario Builder allows you to create a set of default options for your most commonly used types of plans.
Scenario Builder allows you to set up and save pre-configured selections for the options that you normally use in that client situation. Then, when a new client comes in who fits the "simple will, married couple, no minor children" scenario you created, you only need enter the information that is specific to that particular client, such as names, and the rest of the options are already selected according to your customized settings. Beyond Counsel comes pre-configured with the Scenario's our users use the most, and allows you to take those to the next level. Using Scenario Builder for your most common estate plan types makes creating documents with our system even faster. Customizing the scenarios to your practice and your specific preferences allows you to create your most commonly used plans at a fraction of the normal time. Scenario Builder scenarios may be developed during your initial setup of the Beyond Counsel and we can also help you design one or two scenarios as a new member.
BeyondCounsel's documents were developed using Microsoft Styles. Navigation and editing are native to Microsoft Word, whether your using a PC or Mac based office. Easily make global changes to any document format within Word, using the BeyondCounsel toolbar. Our tool bar allows you to update your table of contents, adjust the margins, insert new paragraphs, copy paragraphs, capitalize and bold names, and change the font to Times Roman, Arial or Calibri, all with a single click.

New Zealand ranks No. 1 in COVID-19 handling, US in bottom 5, survey says
Storm Gifford
New York Daily News (TNS)
When it comes to handling the COVID-19 crisis, the United States scores a big fat F.
That's the assessment of the Lowy Institute, an Australian think tank that on Thursday released a detailed ranking of 98 nations' responses to the pandemic.
America, with 431,000 confirmed coronavirus deaths, hit the chart at No. 94 — fifth from the bottom.
The only countries receiving lower COVID-19 grades are Iran, Colombia, Mexico and Brazil, which ranked dead last with 220,000 fatalities, according to health tracker Johns Hopkins University.
In the case of America and Brazil, its presidents, Donald Trump and Jair Bolsonaro, downplayed the severity of the disease before eventually contracting it themselves.
Among the testing metrics implemented by the institute are confirmed cases, COVID-19 deaths and tests per thousand people.
"Collectively, these indicators point to how well or poorly countries have managed the pandemic," noted the study.
Topping the list is New Zealand, which has limited the tally of victims to just 25 — in a nation of 5 million residents.
New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has been praised on a global scale for implementing strict border lockdowns and crucial coronavirus testing practices.
Vietnam is ranked No. 2 as the Asian nation of 96 million people has recorded a scant 35 COVID-19 deaths.
Also scoring in the top 10, in order from No. 3, are Taiwan, Thailand, Cyprus, Rwanda, Iceland, Australia, Latvia and Sri Lanka.
"Levels of economic development or differences in political systems between countries had less of an impact on outcomes than often assumed or publicized," Lowy Institute articulated in its analysis.
Worldwide, more than 101 million coronavirus cases have been confirmed and the death toll is nearing 2.2 million victims.
Nearly one in five of all COVID-19 fatalities on Earth has been an American.

Shreveport's Drew Merrow is a Renaissance man of sorts, a polymath if you will, and being homeschooled plays a critical part in creating a teenager to perhaps model your own teenager after.
One afternoon last week, Merrow was at the piano practicing Frederic Chopin's Etude in E Major Opus 10 No. 3 in preparation for the Louisiana piano rally in April. But before his fingers tickle the ivories in that competition, he'll use his hands in an attempt to lead the Shreveport Force, a basketball team comprised of northwest Louisiana homeschooled athletes, to a second consecutive Association of Christian Educators of Louisiana championship.
Shreveport Homeschool Sports has been competing in several ACEL sports for the past four years, but it's an organization that typically runs under the radar. The boys' basketball team has seen a lot of success under the direction of Josh Garrett, a pastor at the Lovewell Center through The Hub Urban Ministries.
"We play against some unbelievable talent in some of the tournaments we go to," Garrett said. "There are about 400 teams in Texas. Justin Jackson was a homeschooled teenager before playing at North Carolina and now in the NBA."
The Shreveport Force plays most of its games against small private schools like Bethel Christian School in Ruston, CHA Northeast in Monroe and Mt. Olive Christian School. There are three divisions within the state, each containing about six schools.
Shreveport is 15-2 overall, 10-0 in the North Division heading into the second round of the playoffs, scheduled for Friday. The Force will host Mount Olive Christian School at 7 p.m. Friday at Kingston Road Baptist Church. The ACEL's Final Four is slated for Feb. 16-17.
Merrow and Sam Wolfe are the only varsity seniors, while Andrew Dubriske, Skylar Goodman and Coleson Shaw make up the strong junior class. Sophomores Dawson Phillips and Cole Goodman are also added to the mix.
The Shreveport Force also has track and volleyball for the girls and has had a girls' basketball team in the past.
The team doesn't have a home basketball court, but has been allowed to practice and play games at Kingston Road in Shreveport.
"They are gracious to let us use it," Garrett said. "We used Springs of Grace for a while."
There are four freshman on the junior varsity team, and Garrett said the future appears bright.
"We've started a middle school team and we have about 20 on that team, playing schools like Evangel," he said.
Meanwhile, the 6-foot-5 Merrow is just glad to have his feet on the ground in one place long enough to finish school. He was born in Montana, lived in California, Nebraska and Wyoming before moving to Louisiana from Virginia. His father is a "missileer," working with nuclear weapons for the Air Force. Merrow has been homeschooled since the second grade, the same as his older and younger sister.
"I love it because it gives you control over your education," he said. "You can take whatever classes you'd like and you can work around your schedule. You just find the educational system that works for you."
Merrow is heavy on the numbers. He's averaging 22.9 points per game, the sixth-best mark in the state per MaxPreps, and 10.5 rebounds per contest. Off the court he carries a 3.95 GPA and has scored a 30 on the ACT. He plans to attend Louisiana Tech in the fall and major in cyber engineering.
The athletic highlights have been plenty for Merrow through his first three-plus seasons in the ACEL. He scored a Force record 47 points against Mt. Olive this season, while recording a trio of triple-doubles. He had 40 points, 18 rebounds and 12 blocks against Garrett, while replacing the blocks with double-digit assists in another contest.
"I was really excited about getting a triple-double because that's something I'd always wanted to attain," Merrow said.
When he isn't playing basketball or classical piano, Merrow said he enjoys playing video games or going to movies with friends he's met though Force athletics.
"We have a whole homeschooled community," he said.
