A Promising Step Toward Round-the-Clock Solar Power
September 29, 2014 By Richard C. Young
A simple, cheap device turns sunlight into hydrogen fuel.
If solar power is to become a primary source of electricity around the world, we'll need cheap ways to store energy from the sun when it isn't shining. A paper published in the journal Science this week reports a major step toward such a system. Researchers have developed a device that cheaply and efficiently converts the energy in sunlight into hydrogen, which can be used as a fuel and is easily stored.
Michael Graetzel, who directs the Laboratory of Photonics and Interfaces at the Ecole Polytechnique in Lausanne, Switzerland, along with colleagues in Korea and Singapore, built a device that uses electricity and catalyst materials to make hydrogen and oxygen from water. This new "water splitter," as such devices are known, is highly efficient, uses cheap and abundant materials, and is easy to make.
Researchers have been pursuing solar-powered water splitting for decades, and while they've shown great performance in one or two parts of such a device, no one has built a complete system that's practical.

Press Release COVID Operations
SOLANO SUPERIOR COURT – COVID-19 OPERATIONS
Fairfield, California – In response to the spike in COVID-19 cases and the recent stay-at-home order for the Bay Area Region, the Superior Court of Solano County further limits court operations in an effort to limit the risk of exposure and transmission of COVID-19.
Presiding Judge Donna L. Stashyn, pursuant to authority granted to her by the Chief Justice of California, has issued an order extending the last day for jury trials in criminal matters until February 26, 2021, and suspending all other non-mandatory trials until the current COVID-19 health crises improves and the State imposed regional stay-at-home order is lifted.
The present rate of infection in Solano County and in the Bay Area Region is at an all-time high. The resulting ICU capacity has decreased to 4.7% in the Bay Area Region. Summoning groups of public members to the courthouses poses unnecessary high risk. The Court finds that risk of COVID-19 exposure to all who enter the courthouses merits the extension of criminal jury trials and the suspension of non-mandated trials.
All clerk's offices remain closed to the public. Clerk's Office services are conducted by telephone, e-mail or by appointment only. Drop boxes are available at the Hall of Justice, Old Solano Courthouse and Solano Justice Building in Vallejo.
Only those with essential business are permitted at the courthouses. Members of the public, who wish to attend a court proceeding may do so upon advance request and at the discretion of the judicial officer presiding over the matter. Instructions on how to make such a request are available on the Court's website at the COVID-19 page at "Access to Remote Hearings."
"We continue to strive to adapt court operations as circumstances change in order to promote the health and safety of all who enter the courthouses while balancing access to justice, freedom of the press and public access to court proceedings." Judge Stashyn said.
For additional information on courthouse operations under COVID-19 protocols and contact information, please refer to the Court's website at www.solano.courts.ca.gov.

Davidson Film Club Presents "The Lunchbox"
by Press Release | Nov 11, 2021
The Davidson Film Club is pleased to invite you to a discussion of The Lunchbox, a multiple award-winning Indian film, including a Director's Prize at the Cannes Film Festival, on Saturday, November 20, at 7:00 p.m. on Zoom.
"A gentle, understated romantic drama that finds a delicious level of anxiety in the wait for a final answer." Leigh Paatsch, Herald Sun (Australia)
Directed by Ritesh Batra
India (2013, 1h44)
In Arabic with English subtitles
*The Davidson Film Club will remain virtual in November owing to the continuing high level of COVID cases brought on by the Delta variant. We hope to return to the Armour Street Theatre in January for the beginning of our next series.
We will discuss The Lunchbox on Zoom on Saturday, Nov. 20, at 7:00 p.m. Here is the link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84536946768?pwd=WStlY1BLVVNISVlPSGdHNkF3U3l1UT09
Discussion will be led by Dr. Job Thomas, a native of India and a highly distinguished Professor Emeritus at Davidson College specializing in East Asian history and art.
There is no membership fee for this program, only, at most, the modest cost of the on-line film rental that yields no revenue to the Davidson Film Club.
The Lunchbox may be obtained by mail from Netflix for subscribers, or rented on Vudu for $2.99 at: https://www.vudu.com/content/movies/details/The-Lunchbox/513203?cmp=rt_where_to_watch
OR on Prime Video for the same price at:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KGQ8VO0/ref=pv_ag_gcf?cmp=rt_where_to_watch&tag=rottetomao-20
Film Summary:
Middle class housewife Ila, in Mumbai, is trying once again to add some spice to her marriage, this time through her cooking. She desperately hopes that this new recipe will finally arouse some kind of reaction from her neglectful husband. She prepares a special lunchbox to be delivered to him at work, but, unbeknownst to her, it is mistakenly delivered to another office worker, Saajan, a lonely man on the verge of retirement. Curious about the lack of reaction from her husband, Ila puts a little note in the following day's lunchbox, in the hopes of getting to the bottom of the mystery. . .
Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer 97%!
Nominated for Best Film Not in the English Language at the BAFTA (British Oscars) Awards. 28 wins and 38 nominations in all including multiple Best Director, Best Film, Best First Feature, Best Screenplay, Best Actress, Best Actor, and Best Actor in a Supporting Role.
"The way to a stranger's heart is through his stomach. Part romance, part wise comedy, all true to its Mumbai setting, the debut feature from Ritesh Batra is a mouth-watering treat." Paul Byrnes, Sydney Morning Herald
"Batra's characters are a delight. They may be of Mumbai, infused with intense desi flavours, but can inhabit any part of the world." Shubhra Gupta, The Indian Express
"The Lunchbox has a wonderful sense of place and real life going on–the city, the trains, the tedious offices, the suburban flat. It's full of humor and humanity." Alexa Dalby, Dog and Wolf
"Subtle is also the best way to describe Batra's treatment of the characters' emotions in the film, and this is brought onscreen by the astonishing performances of the lead actors." Antonio Sison, National Catholic Reporter
"The Lunchbox is a moving drama with a gentle touch. The story and characters feel simple and real, pensive but not melancholy. The film is about two people trying to make a connection in a world of tension and contradiction. Indian metropolitan culture is presented as bustling and quiet, crowded with great distance, its people being wistful yet responsible. The Lunchbox is a film with universal appeal." Spectator Review
Our updated website at www.davidsonfilmclub.com features the whole up-coming series (August-November 2021) and film descriptions. Have you Bookmarked it?
We are a non-profit, tax-exempt organization run by volunteers that only exists to bring you fine international fiction films and engage in stimulating discussion about them.
Hope to see many of you on Zoom on Saturday, Nov. 20, for the discussion of this poignant, deeply touching drama! Please share the Zoom link with your friends! There is no charge by the Film Club, and there is room for everyone!

The Boy Devoy - The Rise And Rise Of Dawson Devoy
Have we discovered a new star of Irish football?
For those walking out of the Aviva Stadium after Bohemians' 3-0 victory over Stjarnan, it was difficult to come away with any other impression.
On an evening where a number of players put in strong performances, there was one that stood above the rest. What's more, he is only 19-years old.
It is rare enough that footballers emerge with star quality, but Dawson Devoy has that in abundance, and perhaps even more.
Involved in the last two Ireland Under 21 squads, has already established himself as one of the most impressive players of his generation, and his star is rising in each game he plays, none more so than Thursday night's Europa Conference League game.
It has not always been easy for Devoy, however, with the teenager having to deal with some early disappointment after a short spell with Watford. But that has not deterred him from pushing on.
His performances in the 2021 League of Ireland season have been exceptional as Bohemians find themselves pushing for a European position once more.
The former St Kevin's Boys youngster has played in each of Bohs' 17 league games this term, with 13 starts and four coming off the bench.
And his contribution this season has been telling, with their manager Keith Long hailing him at every possible opportunity he is given.
Likened to a 'silent leader' by his manager, Devoy is no doubt turning heads away from home, and has probably reached the stage of his League of Ireland career where he's off to bigger and better things sooner rather than later.
But let's be honest, it is no real surprise that he has has reached that level already. It's just a crying shame that he has not been able to strut his stuff in front of a packed Dalymount Park more often than he has.
One of the biggest tragedies for Bohs fans over the last year is that they have only been able to watch Devoy in the flesh at a rammed Dalymount Park on no more than 10 occasions.
But to those who knew him growing him, it is no surprise that he has reached his current level already.

"I'm not surprised at all with the level he's at," Stephen Costello, who worked with the player at St Kevin's, explains.
There's been a number of players like that before with plenty of potential. But that's all it is at the moment, potential.
He's not the finished article by any means, but the potential is there. He seems to be doing everything right on and off the pitch to give himself the best chance.
The experienced players around him will always help, because it will allow him to express himself, and in turn help him to fulfil his potential.
His deft passes, his eye for openings and his underrated eye for goal were there for all to see as Bohemians gave Icelandic side Stjarnan a heavy beating at the Aviva.
Incredibly, that was the first time Devoy had played in front of a crowd that big, and he looked more than at home in his new surroundings.
He assisted Bohemians opener against Stjarnan, dancing around the Icelandic's bemused full-back before passing across the face of goal to find Georgie Kelly who tapped home.
While it was Kelly with the finishing the touch, that goal was all about Devoy. Rather than shooting on sight as many his age would have, he opted to take the selfless approach, and it paid off in spades.

— SSE Airtricity League (@SSEAirtricityLg) July 15, 2021
At 19 years of age, the Bohs man has impressed so much he has already been named in an Ireland U21 squad.
And without trying to tempt fate too much, you would like to think that the diminutive midfielder can go a little further than the level he is at now.
Costello explained how Devoy's current trajectory points towards a potentially exciting future:
It's all about having a bit of luck along the way. His current form is conducive to getting the attention of other clubs whether it's in England or further afield.
It's up to him wherever he wants to go. Some lads are comfortable where they are at the minute.
If he wants to go and experience England again, I'm sure that could be an option for him.
It's still early days in his career, and I don't want to put too much pressure on the young lad. He's only a kid even though I'm sure he came off the pitch against Stjarnan like he was an experienced player.
That's how quickly it can happen. One minute you're one of the young lads in the dressing room and then you're a player where the next generation look up to you.
Football is a very fickle game so it's important that he keeps doing the right things and control the controllables. Everything else will look after itself after that.
And for the boy who came to Bohemians via St Kevin's, the world is his oyster.
That decision to stay at home after being over in England for a short spell has certainly proven to be the right one.
He has now received first-team football minutes rather than being sucked into life in academy football, like many his age often do.
It's so important to have that link up with Bohs and St Kevin's, and that there is a safety net with a good environment for players like [Dawson] to come back into.
Fair play to Alan Caffrey and Keith Long for getting him back in at the time. When lads come back from England sometimes, they can be a little bit disillusioned with the game.
Their confidence can suffer a bit with the result, and some of them may want to go away from the game. It happens so many times.
With the Bohs and Kevin's link up you can see the proven success over the last couple of years. We're quite lucky that we have a first-team manger that is willing to give young players [like Devoy] a shout.
It's a testament to what is going on behind the scenes and long may it last.
Who knows what comes next for Devoy? To be honest, none of us really do. There is a sense that there is an awful lot more to come from the Ashbourne teenage sensation. Let's hope that is the case.
Stephen Kenny was at the Aviva on Thursday night, and who knows, perhaps he has more than a close eye on the youngster now. Not that he will be the only one...

Ivory Coast Strike Call Goes Unheeded
By Anne Look
Most workers in Ivory Coast's main city Abidjan have ignored a call to strike to force incumbent President Laurent Gbagbo from power.
The president's political rival, Alassane Ouattara, had called for a national shut-down Monday to increase pressure on Gbagbo to accept election results and step down. Opposition leader Alphonse Djedje-Mady says they cannot allow Gbagbo to steal their victory.
However, shops were open in Abidjan and street markets were bustling as normal. Some workers said they could not afford to skip a day of work.
Ouattara remains holed up in an Abidjan hotel protected by U.N. peacekeepers and former rebel fighters.
Both Gbagbo and Ouattara claim they won last month's presidential election. The international community is recognizing Ouattara as the winner, and the West African regional bloc ECOWAS is threatening to use force to get Gbagbo to leave.
Gbagbo told France's Le Figaro newspaper Sunday that any attempt to use force to remove him from power could start a war in West Africa.
He said he takes the ECOWAS threat seriously, but will not back down. Gbagbo contends France and the United States are plotting to drive him out of power.
Three West African presidents are traveling to Abidjan Tuesday to try to persuade Gbagbo to step down. The presidents of Benin, Sierra Leone and Cape Verde are expected to offer Gbagbo political asylum in exchange for his resignation. If Gbagbo refuses, the West African regional bloc says it will take other measures, including the use of "legitimate force," to enforce U.N.-endorsed election results.
The United Nations says more than 170 people have been killed in post-election violence in Ivory Coast.
Gbabgo's camp denies allegations of human rights violations and use of excessive force against its opponents.
Interior Minister, Emile Guirieoulou, says the Ivorian government has noted that the United Nations agency in Geneva, like the U.N. operation in Ivory Coast, has taken a partisan position in the way they communicate information to member countries. He says they chose to give privilege to allegations and accusations made by one side without any verification or investigation, ignoring the figures given to them by the Ivorian government.
The November presidential election was meant to stabilize Ivory Coast, eight years after a civil war split the country into rebel- and government-controlled areas.
Following the poll, Ivory Coast's electoral commission said Ouattara won with 54 percent of the vote. But Ivory Coast's constitutional court, which is led by an ally of Gbagbo, annulled 10 percent of the ballots saying they were fraudulent and announced Gbagbo the winner of the election.

Congressman Danny K. Davis and Anthony Clark, his challenger in the 7th District Democratic Primary, faced each other during a formal campaign event for the first time on Feb. 3. The short exchange was a study in contrasts, as Davis presented himself as the experienced statesman while Clark presented himself as the face of change.
During the opening salvos of the roughly 15-minute exchange, which was sponsored by the Proviso Township Democratic Organization and hosted in Melrose Park, Clark echoed a critique of Davis that he first lodged earlier that week after Davis announced he was boycotting President Donald Trump's first State of the Union address on Jan. 30.
"The issues we face are systemic," said Clark, 35, who explained last week that he would have attended the address as a show of strength. "So many people are anti-Trump, but if you're not anti-system that has led to Trump, you're not doing anything. We have to change things systemically."
Davis, who has served in Congress since 1997, touted his experience in office while pointing out the Republican Party's stronghold at the federal level.
"Our country is facing one of the most difficult and challenging periods that any of us have ever known," Davis said.
"We've never experienced a time where one political party had control of the entire apparatus of federal government," he added. "In order to challenge and block some of the draconian notions and ideas they have, you really need people who are serious and who understand the process."
Clark, a first-time candidate who teaches at Oak Park and River Forest High School and is founder of the nonprofit Suburban Unity Alliance, said that, if elected, he would extend the grassroots nature of his campaign to his governing style.
"It's extremely important to send the message to constituents about the importance of empowering ourselves," Clark said.
"It's going to take 100 percent grassroots effort and boots on the ground to build bridges that haven't existed throughout the 7th District between communities," he added. "We need to do for ourselves. Nothing changes systemically on a national level until it changes on a local level."
Davis, after pointing out the pieces of legislation that he introduced, said he is more equipped to work with a GOP-dominated Congress to pass policies that might benefit his constituents.
"If you read [the Almanac of American Politics], it says I'm able to convince colleagues across the aisle because of my consistent efforts to deal with the needs of the poor," Davis said.
Clark, after thanking Davis for his service, said, "What we've learned today is that [Davis] would do the same thing. Isn't the same thing what got us to this point?" School closures and gun violence in the district, he added, have "continued to increase and current political leaders [are still trying] to address symptoms instead of treating root causes. I'm not the same thing."
Davis, who spoke last, shot back, "Marcus Garvey says that any group that does not know anything about its history is like a tree with no roots.
"I ain't had nothing to do with people being impoverished except try to change it," Davis said. "I ain't had nothing to do with what 300 years of slavery and disadvantages have done, so to talk about Danny Davis as part of these problems is kind of ludicrous. It's also an indication that one obviously does not know much about their history."
Thank you Danny Davis for your years of service to Oak Park. You continue to have my vote and support.
Not to be a Supreme Court Nazi but I don't think that you can argue that the Supreme Court was "Democratic" 1993 in light of the fact that all of the members of that court except for Byron White were appointed by Nixon, Reagan and Bush. Admittedly, Blackmun, Stevens and Souter did not often agree with the conservative majority of the court, but they were certainly not screaming progressives.
Danny Davis must be losing some of his memory if he does not remember the last time one political party controlled all aspects of government. Under Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton the Democratic Party had the Presidency, both houses of congress and the Supreme Court. Since the middle of Clinton's presidency, there have been some division. Obama had both houses of Congress for two years and a split Supreme Court. It was split for six years of Clinton, for both Bush presidencies and for the final six years of Obama.

Man bolts from court sentencing GOSHEN -- Elkhart County authorities are searching for a northern Indiana man who fled from a courtroom during his sentencing on a drug charge. Frank Jesse Castro bolted from an Elkhart County courtroom, up some stairs and out of the courthouse in Goshen on Monday afternoon. The 31-year-old Elkhart man had pleaded guilty to a felony charge of possession of a controlled substance in Elkhart Superior Court. The charge carries a maximum sentence of three years. Police: Teen likely shooting suspect SOUTH BEND -- Police say the arrest of a 14-year-old during a burglary attempt Monday is likely to lead to the solving of a shooting last week. Police Sgt. Ian McQueen said investigators believe the 14-year-old to be a suspect in the Sept. 29 shooting on Olive Street, where a 16-year-old boy was shot in the head while riding a bike. Last week, it was reported the 16-year-old was expected to make a full recovery from the shooting. McQueen said the 14-year-old was arrested along with a 16-year-old on Monday, when police responded to a burglary call. Both the 14-year-old and the 16-year-old have been detained at the Juvenile Justice Center. McQueen said the 14-year-old has not been charged with the shooting, but that investigators have sent the case to the prosecutor's office for a charging decision.

The north-east's most populous city, Newcastle, rose from a settlement alongside Hadrian's Wall at the time of the Roman occupation of Britain, after which it became an important Anglo-Saxon town. The town was virtually destroyed in the 11th century when a local uprising against invading Normans was brutally crushed - it was only the strategic significance of it's location that kept the area settled - later William the Conqueror's son built a castle of wood there and Newcastle got it's name.
Over the following centuries the town grew into England's northern outpost in it's wars with the Scots, but when the Industrial Revolution hit, it was the region's plentiful coal seams and the city's docks that encouraged a boom in trade with the rest of the world, and shipbuilding also took off at this time.
Nowadays Newcastle is a vibrant city and although much of it's heavy industry has now gone, it has been massively redeveloped in recent years, and can boast the Norman Foster designed Sage music hall, the elegant Millennium Bridge which tilts to allow passing ships through, and it's older but by no means less iconic neighbour, the Tyne Bridge. The city is also famed for it's nightlife, with the bustling Quayside district at the heart of Newcastle's draw for the prospective reveler.
The city's best known sporting export would have to be it's Premiership team, Newcastle United, for whom some of English football's great names have played. Chris Waddle, Peter Beardsley and Alan Shearer have all donned the black and white stripes of Newcastle, but this season has not started well and fans of 'The Magpies' are hoping another England hero, Michael Owen, will help to turn the tide.
Apart from sportsmen the city has also been home to such renowned musicians as Sting and Dire Straits.

Perfectly Hidden Depression
The SelfWork Podcast
You Don't Really Know Who I Am. Fighting The Stigma Of Depression
Mark is a tall, lanky, twenty-something guy.
He works hard. Occasionally, plays hard. Loves to fish. He's on the quiet side, well-liked by his friends. He has had several relationships, but not yet found "the one." He's very curious about learning, although he didn't make straight A's in school. He had to study. But when he gets something, he really gets it.
Now, his boss counts on him to get the job done, and done right.
He lost his best friend several years ago, who was hit by a drunk driver. That's how I first met him. He was trying to cope with the death of his buddy, and needed help.
He got through that, although it was tough.
Depression runs in his family. An uncle committed suicide. His family was traumatized by the near death of his sister, years ago. Everything changed in the family after that, very subtly. But it was never the same. His folks turned their attention to her, and were often critical of his efforts to please.
He downplays all this, questioning whether it's all that important to mention.
Mark has an ongoing struggle with depression. But you would never have known it. Then he took a risk, and came into therapy.
He's beginning to recognize depression for what it is, and when it's affecting his reasoning. He's catching himself, as he realizes the negative messages he has absorbed. He's connecting the dots between how he responds to authority, competition, women — and his early childhood experiences. He's even beginning to open up about it, meeting a guy friend for coffee before work.
"We met around 6:30 at the Stop And Go. We talked about how both of us can get really depressed."
I was floored. Happily. But floored.
Two guys. Meeting for an early cup of java. Talking about depression.
These men don't look depressed to anyone. They're out there, working their jobs. Getting things accomplished. But they are still searching for the reason why they drink too much, or rarely feel content.
Andrew Solomon, who writes eloquently about depression explains, "The opposite of depression is not happiness, but vitality."
Solomon is describing classic depression. This is when the smallest of tasks becomes intolerably and irrationally difficult to accomplish.
But there is a kind of depression that's different. People who are out there functioning in life, often extremely well. Like Mark. No one, not even him, sees him as depressed.
Perfectly Hidden Depression is what I call it.
If classic depression is an absence of vitality, Perfectly Hidden Depression is an absence of self-acceptance. It is unacceptable to a person that they could be depressed. They want to deny the way they truly feel or think — their inner fatigue, the thoughts that they're not good enough.
Sometimes, even, that death will be welcome.
He keeps secret the abuse that he suffered, or other traumas or loss he experienced. He knows it happened, but the impact of it isn't recognized. The feelings are rigidly stored away in an almost inaccessible place in his mind, left to gather dust and be discounted.
So he hides. He hides behind a job well done or a family that looks perfect. He hides from the stigma that still exists. He exerts tremendous amounts of energy to look great to everyone who knows him, to be outwardly the epitome of success.
Kevin Breel talks about it eloquently in this Ted Talk.
This is not only a male problem. Plenty of women do the same thing.
People with classic depression are overwhelmed by the loss or difficulty of their lives. They can't function, and are lost.
People with Perfectly Hidden Depression are overwhelmed by the idea that anyone might find out that they aren't all that they seem — that the back story of their lives might be discovered. They function far too well. They actively deny the importance of any pain. And carry on.
Therapy is different with these two problems. With classic depression, the goal is to help someone reconnect with their external world — to reengage with their families, their friends, and their purpose, to stop the withdrawal and the implosion of their very being, and to ease the misery of thinking that can be filled with self-loathing and hopelessness.
With Perfectly Hidden Depression, the goal is to help someone engage with their inner self — to acknowledge and work through their denial of pain — to aid in a reconnection with how their early experiences affected them, and to reassign their worth, not to what they accomplish, but to their own value. To help them find a way to accept that whatever pain they have doesn't have to be hidden, but can be explored.
[tweetthis hidden_hashtags="#maledepression"]Admitting pain doesn't make you less of a human being. It makes you human.[/tweetthis]
If this is you, please risk getting help. Or admitting it to yourself.
It's worth it. You are worth it.

As someone who has long been concerned with issues of justice and social redemption, this poem has struck a chord with me for quite some time. And time and again, when reading this bit of Auden's September 1, 1939, I imagine all of the social ills of the world continuing on uninterrupted until these "points of light" break in as justice-seekers and kingdom-builders busy themselves with the work laid out for them.
In our "behind the scenes" work of collaboration on behalf of Santa Barbara's survivors, I have recently tried to keep this image at the forefront of my mind. Jeff or I will rarely, if ever, spend time interacting with survivors of trafficking or exploitation, and because of this the work that we do will inevitably at times feel disconnected from those on whose behalf we are working. But rather than a flood light or a glaring beam as direct interaction might be akin to, the work that Jeff and I engage in—and that you as our supporters enable us to do—looks much more like these "ironic points of light" "dotted everywhere" as we collaborate and call community members to action on behalf of the marginalized in our community. Further, this image can be an encouragement to all in various sectors and positions; we can all benefit from the reminder to measure our effectiveness based not upon glaring and obvious successes but rather upon the conglomerate of small acts that advance the cause of justice in our communities.

Hospital Baby Nurseries May Become A Thing Of The Past
Why hundreds of hospitals are eliminating baby nurseries from their facilities.
Sarah Lewton 2016-07-11
Sarah Lewton · July 11, 2016
After what can be endless hours of labor, what a new mother often wants is some time to herself (to sleep, let's be real). While many new mothers prefer to keep a new baby in their rooms with them, others feel comfortable letting the baby spend some time in the hospital's nursery under the care of the nursing staff.
For new moms delivering at certain hospitals around the country, this will no longer be an option. According to PopSugar approximately 355 "baby-friendly" hospitals have eliminated the nursery room entirely, and the number will reach 530 by the end of 2017.
The idea behind this is to encourage mothers to keep their babies in the room after giving birth. If the baby is close by, the mother is more likely to be the one who will meet her child's needs. This initiates parent-child bonding at the earliest possible stage.

"The research is abundant," Lori Pugsley, the newborn family units nursing director at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston—one of the hospital's that's done away with the communal nursery—told Today. "It shows the benefits of keeping a mom and baby together in a room really creates an environment that's the healthiest for the baby and the healthiest for the mothers."
Not Everyone Is Thrilled With This Change
As you could have guessed, not everyone agrees. Christiane Boezio told Today that she was in labor for 48 hours with her second child, and she had entered delivery already exhausted from the care of her toddler at home.
"I asked the nurse if she would take him to the nursery for a few hours so my husband and I could get some sleep and she said no," Boezio said. "That it was policy that the baby stay in the room."

The decision to eliminate the nurseries adds fuel the breastfeeding debate. Having the child in the room encourages mothers to breastfeed because nurses will not be caring for the child. On the other side, some women's rights activists are saying that the mother should have the right not only to choose whether to nurse but also whether to keep her baby in the room with her.

Cord Clamping Policies: Another Shift In Maternity Wards
Many doctors now support the practice of "delayed cord clamping," which leaves the umbilical cord attached for at least 30 to 60 seconds after birth before clamping and cutting it. This is because a growing body of research has shown that there are benefits to leaving the umbilical cord attached right after childbirth.
Until recently, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) hadn't endorsed this practice, citing insufficient evidence. However, in December 2016, ACOG officially changed its position and issued a new set of guidelines, recommending that doctors and midwives hold off on clamping the cords of all healthy newborns for at least 30-60 seconds. This update to their 2012 guideline is based on recent research that not only do preterm infants benefit from delayed cord clamping, but that full-term infants do as well.

For babies who don't require immediate cord-cutting for a health reason, delaying the cutting of the umbilical cord increases hemoglobin levels at birth and improves iron stores for several months, which helps prevent iron deficiency during the first year of life, according to ACOG. For preterm babies, delayed umbilical cord clamping improves transitional circulation, facilitates better establishment of red blood cell volume and decreases the need for blood transfusion.
"While there are various recommendations regarding optimal timing for delayed umbilical cord clamping, there has been increased evidence that shows that the practice in and of itself has clear health benefits for both preterm and term infants," said Maria A. Mascola, MD, the lead author of the Committee Opinion in a press release. "And, in most cases, this does not interfere with early care, including drying and stimulating for the first breath and immediate skin-to-skin contact."
ACOG did note in its findings that delayed cord clamping is associated with higher incidence of jaundice. Because of this, the organization recommends that doctors pay close attention to the need for this and to have phototherapy—the standard treatment for jaundice, where babies are placed under lights—at the ready.

I would just like to compliment you on the staff you employ. I recently had a holiday in Dubai and had arranged to personally meet Sarah. The hospitality was great from all including Jeffrey. Just thought I would give some feedback as nowadays we take too much for granted and generally only complain when things are bad and rarely give credit when things are good, you have a fantastic team.
Recently I rented an apartment from Exclusive Links in Dubai Marina. Barbara, their agent, is a very friendly and helpful person and after just one viewing she knew what I am looking for and found me this cosy one bedroom with a stunning view in Bay Central West tower. The viewings with her were uncomplicated and helpful - with her great support on paperwork, it made it very easy renting an apartment in Dubai.
I just wanted to thank you and Exclusive links for all the time you all put out to assist me and my wife. I would add further that I would have no hesitation in recommending your company to any colleagues or acquaintances who are seeking accommodation.
Thank you so much you have literally been great. It's nice to finally have someone do such a great job and be on the ball as you were.
Can i express the service and communication i have had from John has been nothing but first class.

Breaks Ground and Takes Form!
Dounji Ly SaVy, a Buddhist nun in Cambodia, is a natural leader with a mission. Her long-held vision to provide safe harbor for vulnerable children, allowing them to attend and complete school, passed important benchmarks in 2017 and 2018.
After years of preparatory work, which included raising the ground level to prevent flooding and constructing a perimeter wall, the project broke ground in January 2017 at the nuns' quarter of Wat Poveal, a well-known learning center wat in the northwestern part of the country. She participated with KEAP's board chair Peter Gyallay-Pap and a generous donor in a traditional ground-breaking ceremony for the Maha Ghosananda Children's Learning Center. The center includes a dorm facility, pictured above in an artist's drawing, that will house 40 primary school children (20 girls, 20 boys) who will attend the public school less than a 10-minutes' walk away and benefit from activities at the center when not in class. At the ceremony, the Wat's achar, or lay president, presided with a recitation of protective chants from the Khmer spirit world, guaranteeing in a stone-laying ritual that the ground was being consecrated for helping children in need. Monks then blessed the event with Pali chanting.
The second construction phase started the following 2017-18 dry season. Here is where things stood in April 2018.
fFor more details on this initiative in local socially-engaged Buddhism on behalf of the vulnerable young in Cambodia, please read The Maha Ghosananda Childre's Learning Center at Wat Poveal.
The paintings on this page - and the many others throughout this website - is by Svay Ken, who was an artistic visonary and pioneer of Cambodian contemporary art. Learn more about Svay Ken, our collection of his work, and how you may purchase this work to support KEAP.

Columbus, OH – The number and rate of shopping cart injuries among children have continued to rise even after a voluntary safety standard was adopted in 2004, according to a new study from Nationwide Children's Hospital.
Using data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System, researchers estimated that 530,494 children younger than 15 were injured by shopping carts between 1990 and 2011. Falling from a shopping cart caused the majority of injuries (70.4 percent), followed by running into/falling over the cart, cart tip-overs and entrapment of a limb, according to a press release.
Almost 80 percent of injuries were to the head, which usually were soft-tissue injuries. However, the rate of concussions and internal head injuries jumped to 12,333 in 2011 from 3,483 in 1990 – an increase of more than 200 percent.
Avoid placing your child in a shopping cart when possible.
Never use carts with broken or missing restraint systems.
Use the shopping cart safety straps and place your child's legs through the leg openings.
Stay with your child and the cart.
Do not put infant carriers on top of shopping carts.
The study was published in the January issue ofClinical Pediatrics.

National Film Registry: 25 movies including "Iron Man," "The Little Mermaid," "When Harry Met Sally" preserved by Library of Congress
Dec 14, 2022 film preservation, Library of Congress, National Film Registry
The comic book adventure "Iron Man," which helped spearhead the massively successful Marvel Cinematic Universe; "The Little Mermaid," which launched a renaissance of Disney animated musicals; and the Billy Crystal-Meg Ryan romantic comedy "When Harry Met Sally," whose fake sex scene offered a punchline for the ages, are among the films named today to the Library of Congress' National Film Registry, aimed at preserving classic motion pictures for future generations.
Twenty-five films are being inducted into the Registry this year, the Library announced Wednesday.
The latest additions also include John Waters' camp musical-comedy "Hairspray" (1988); "Carrie," Brian De Palma's 1976 adaptation of the Stephen King thriller, starring Sissy Spacek as a teenager gifted with telekinesis; and "Cyrano de Bergerac" (1950), for which José Ferrer became the first Hispanic actor to win a best actor Oscar.
Also: The Blaxploitation hit "Super Fly" (1972), starring Ron O'Neal; "Titicut Follies" (1976), Frederick Wiseman's searing indictment of conditions inside a Massachusetts prison for the criminally insane; "Union Maids" (1976), about labor organizers in the 1930s; and Kenneth Anger's seminal work of experimental cinema, "Scorpio Rising" (1963).
Each year since 1989, 25 films have been chosen by the Library of Congress for preservation, based on their cultural, historic and aesthetic importance to America's film heritage. The Registry includes dramas, comedies, musicals, documentaries, animation, experimental and student films, and music videos, originating from Hollywood studios, independent producers and amateur filmmakers.
"Iron Man," "The Little Mermaid," and "When Harry Met Sally" are new additions to the Library of Congress' National Film Registry, to be preserved for future generations.
Marvel Studios/Walt Disney Pictures/Alamy
This year's additions bring the total number of films in the Registry to 850. It also expands the recognition of diverse creators in cinema, with 15 titles added this year directed or co-directed by women, minority or LGBTQ+ filmmakers.
The oldest film to be added this year is newsreel footage from 1898 of the New Orleans Mardi Gras Carnival parade. The footage, long thought lost, was recently discovered in a museum in the Netherlands.
"Films have become absolutely central to American culture by helping tell our national story for more than 125 years," said Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden. "We're grateful to the entire film community for collaborating with the Library of Congress to ensure these films are preserved for the future."
On Tuesday, December 27, at 8 p.m. ET, Turner Classic Movies will screen a selection of this year's Registry additions. Select titles are also freely available online in the National Screening Room.

Here is the complete list of this year's additions:
"Charade" (1963) — Cary Grant and Audrey Hepburn teamed up in this sparkling Hitchcockian thriller directed by Stanley Donen, in which a woman discovers her now-dead husband was not the man she thought he was — and now she's being chased by a slew of sinister agents seeking a stolen fortune.
"Hairspray" (1988) — Baltimore's own John Waters made his bones by directing ludicrously low-budgeted, deviant comedies (like "Pink Flamingos" and "Multiple Maniacs") that brought bad taste to new heights. In the '80s he began to have fun with his own reputation, with the camp soap opera "Polyester" (filmed in "Odorama"), and then "Hairspray," a comedy about race relations and fat-shaming that was (most shockingly for a Waters film) rated PG!

Ricki Lake stars as Tracy Turnblad, a plus-size teen who becomes a star on a TV dance program, while protesting segregation forced upon Black dancers. The cast includes Waters regular Divine as Tracy's mom, Edna, along with Jerry Stiller, Deborah Harry, Sonny Bono and Mink Stole. "Hairspray" would go on to inspire a Tony-winning musical — which would itself be filmed in 2007, with John Travolta filling the housedress of Edna Turnblad.
"House Party" (1990) — Kid and Play (of the hip-hop duo Kid 'n Play) star in Reginald Hudlin's raucous comedy about what happens when parents head out of town, leaving the house just ripe for an epic party.
"When Harry Met Sally" (1989) — Written by Nora Ephron and directed by Rob Reiner, this classic romantic comedy perfectly captured the chemistry of stars Billy Crystal and Meg Ryan as friends who discover, after many tribulations, that they are in fact meant for each other.
Horror/Science Fiction
"Carrie" (1976) — Stephen King's first published novel, "Carrie," was also the first film adaptation of the horror writer's work — a visually-stunning tale of a teenage girl abused by her classmates who discovers the gift of telekinesis, which she employs to murderous effect. Director Brian De Palma's flair for suspense was perhaps never better displayed than it was here, bolstered by Sissy Spacek's mesmerizing, Oscar-nominated performance, and by fellow Oscar-nominee Piper Laurie as Carrie's insanely devout mother.

"Iron Man" (2008) — The first entry in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Jon Favreau's splendid comic book adventure is the origin story of Tony Stark, a cynical armaments tycoon who rededicates his life by deploying his technical wizardry against a terrorist group and its enablers. Robert Downey Jr.'s performance as the wisecracking, conflicted genius who reshapes himself as a superhero in a flying suit is terrific, one that elevated the comic book genre and set the stage for a slew of "Avengers" features in which Stark stood front-and-center.
"The Little Mermaid" (1989) — Composer Alan Menken and lyricist Howard Ashman had already teamed up on the stage musicals "God Bless You, Mr. Rosewater" and the Off-Broadway hit "Little Shop of Horrors," when they were picked to concoct the music for Disney's animated version of the Hans Christian Andersen tale about a mermaid who longs to be human — and sacrifices her stellar singing voice for legs. The film was an overwhelming critical and commercial success, and set the template for subsequent Disney animated musicals, including "Beauty and the Beast," which was Menken and Ashman's final collaboration before Ashman's death, in 1991. Songs include "Part of Your World," "Under the Sea." and "Kiss the Girl."

"The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez" (1982) — This story of a poor Tejano farmer who becomes a folk hero while being pursued by Texas Rangers after being falsely accused of murder was acclaimed for its innovative storytelling, and stands as a leading example of Chicano feature filmmaking. Directed by Robert M. Young. Shot in Super 16mm, the film was recently restored by the Academy Film Archive.
"Bush Mama" (1979) — Ethiopian-born director Haile Gerima's UCLA thesis project tells the story of a young inner-city mother fighting the bureaucracies of the justice and welfare systems that seem programmed to lock her into a cycle of poverty. The film's sense of realism is underscored by an early scene in which Black men are captured on camera being stopped and harassed by the police; the men were the film's director and a crew member.
"Cyrano de Bergerac" (1950) — The first American film version of Edmond Rostand's 1897 French play was acclaimed for José Ferrer's performance, which earned him an Academy Award. Preserved at the UCLA Film & Television Archive.
"Pariah" (2011) — The award-winning debut of filmmaker Dee Rees (who later directed the Oscar-nominated "Mudbound") tells the coming-of-age story of a Brooklyn high school girl who has not yet come out as a lesbian.
"Super Fly" (1972) — A Harlem drug pusher (Ron O'Neal) wants to leave the business, but not until making one last, big score. Directed by Gordon Parks Jr. (son of "Shaft" director Gordon Parks), with music by Curtis Mayfield, and also starring a Cadillac Eldorado whose owner, K.C., ended up in the film himself playing a pimp, a character as fly as his ride.
"Attica" (1974) — Cinda Firestone investigates the September 1971 uprising at New York's Attica Correctional Facility, the deadliest prison riot in U.S. history.
"Betty Tells Her Story" (1972) — Liane Brandon's landmark short film explores the meaning of storytelling and beauty in the tale of a dress, told twice. In the first take, Betty relates her quest for finding just the right dress; she then retells the story, and in her more personal telling the underlying issues of body image and self-worth become manifest.
Cab Calloway Home Movies (1948-1951) — From the collection of the legendary singer-bandleader-actor, the black-and-white and color 16mm footage documents his home life and his family's travels around the world.
"Manzanar" (1971) — Robert Nakamura's recollections of a childhood spent at a Japanese American internment camp in central California during World War II, and how the experiences shaped the rest of his life.
"Mardi Gras Carnival" (1898) — The earliest footage known to exist of New Orleans' traditional Carnival parade was found among the collection of the Eye Filmmuseum in Amsterdam, and recently restored. [You can watch a clip here.]
"Mingus" (1968) — A portrait of composer and bassist Charles Mingus, with rare footage of the legendary jazz musician.
"Titicut Follies" (1967) — The first documentary by veteran filmmaker Frederick Wiseman was a characteristically dispassionate fly-on-the-wall view of life inside Bridgewater State Prison for the Criminally Insane in Massachusetts. The film played at festivals and had a limited release. But its depiction of the treatment of inmates would prove so searing that the state's Supreme Court ordered the film banned, its negatives and prints destroyed. The ban — the first for reasons other than obscenity or national security — was later amended, restricting screenings until 1991. It was aired on PBS the following year.
"Union Maids" (1976) — Julia Reichert, Jim Klein and Miles Mogulescu directed this Oscar-nominated oral history of labor organizers from the 1930s, which documented the role of women participating in the male-dominated unions.
"Word is Out: Stories of Some of Our Lives" (1977) — A mosaic composed by queer filmmakers (the Mariposa Film Group) about the emerging gay rights movement of the 1970s, a groundbreaking record of the courage of men and women coming out.
Experimental/Shorts
"Behind Every Good Man" (1967) — A pre-Stonewall short by UCLA student Nikolai Ursin is a flirtatious early portrait of Black gender fluidity and the quest for love and acceptance.
"Itam Hakim, Hopiit" (1984) — Hopi Native oral traditions are translated into video by Victor Masayesva Jr., using stories told by elder Hopi historian Ross Macaya, who died soon after the film's release.
"Scorpio Rising" (1963) — Kenneth Anger's experimental work is a collage of images of leather-clad bikers, cueing themes of violence, sadism and Nazism to a classic rock 'n' roll soundtrack.
"Tongues Untied" (1989) — Marlon Riggs' video essay is a meditation on the Black queer experience, blending poetry and rap with personal testimonies. It stirred protests when it was aired on the PBS series "POV" (a third of public stations refused to run it); fueled criticism of the National Endowment for the Arts (which had partially funded the film); and became fodder for attack ads by conservative politicians during the 1992 presidential campaign. The film is preserved at the Berkeley Art Museum/Pacific Film Archive.

This depends on the specific league(s) your team decides to join. Most games are played in Calgary, except for the GPLS league, where games will be held in various Alberta locations. Each team can also decide to attend tournaments throughout AB, BC, SK and the US.
Calgary Adrenaline is affiliated with the following leagues throughout Calgary and the Province. CMSA (Calgary Minor Softball Association), GPLS (Girls Prairie League of Softball) and CWFA (Calgary Women's Fastball Association).
When does the Season start, and when does the Season finish?

Typically, each team will have approximately from 10-14 players.
Does Adrenaline provide an equal play policy?

16 South Arkansas Museums to Visit this Fall
Author Keisha Pittman McKinney
So many towns in Arkansas have sacred stories to tell: tales of notoriety, perseverance, heroism, luck and charm. For my family, some of the greatest stories of the discovery of Arkansas history have come through visiting museums across south Arkansas. These stories have unfolded the development of small townships and tell the journey of building communities out of local opportunities and special locations.
This fall, can you take on the challenge to get out and discover local stories? Learn how your community was established. Who were the founders? What drew them to that region? What industry originally helped your town boom, and is that still driving your local economy?
Once you have your local stories covered, take time to do a little traveling and discover these 16 must-visit museums in south Arkansas.
1. Two Rivers Museum | Ashdown
Volunteers operate the museum on special days throughout the week and will personally escort you through the displays. They share stories of early settlers establishing community, a railroad era, famous physicians, teachers and athletes who gained notoriety. They tell about novelty home pieces. The mural on the side of the building is not only a landmark to the location but a hot spot for selfies and tourist photos.
Special feature: The lobby of the museum hosts a Civil War-era hearse used locally throughout the county. The hearse functions using a peg system, an early form of technology to hold the coffin in place on bumpy rural roads.
2. McCollum Chidester House | Camden
The McCollum Chidester House was the first planned lumber home in Ouachita County, and possibly south Arkansas. Made with materials sent from New Orleans, the house has remained a landmark of architecture and domestic building techniques. John Chidester, the second owner, was seeking to expand his stagecoach line and mail route and established the opulence of the home. During the Union Troop's stay in Camden, Chidester was accused of being a spy and sent to Texas until after the war.
Special feature: Visitors can view Mrs. Chidester's original china dishes and many of the first belongings she and her husband brought to the home in the 1860s.
3. Hoo-Hoo Headquarters | Gurdon
The official world headquarters of the timber industry is everything its name indicates: whimsical, authoritative and mysterious. The legend goes that due to weather, a handful of timbermen, gathered in Gurdon for an industry meeting, were delayed waiting on a train, had a little too much to drink and dreamed up an organization that could meet in this spot annually and commemorate the occasion in less "stuffy" and more "humorous" gatherings.
Special feature: The official mascot of the Concatenated Order of the Hoo-Hoo is a black cat with a specifically swirled tail. Several examples of the mascot are exhibited throughout the museum as well as memorabilia of their leader "the Grand Snark."
4. Arkansas Museum of Natural Resources | Smackover
This Arkansas State Park museum tells the story of the South Arkansas oil boom and the tent city that formed and established Smackover as more than a drive-through town on a map. At one point it was said that the greatest group of oil millionaires were doing business in Smackover: Arkansas's own Silicon Valley. The museum is a sensory experience in every way and tells the story of the discovery of oil and how the county continues to play a vital role in the petroleum industry today.
Special feature: Toward the end of the self-guided tour is an established Tinkering Studio that allows children (and their grown-ups) to play and create with products related to petroleum. A kid-sized interactive display teaches about the consumables in our everyday life.
5. World War II Japanese — American Internment Museum | McGhee
This museum, in the former Missouri Pacific Railroad Depot, shares the history of Japanese-American internment during World War II. It also includes access to tour the Rohwer War Relocation Center where more than 8,000 Japanese-Americans were detained. It is a hard history to unfold, but the Arkansas State Heritage Sites' team has molded together a depiction that tells the story many do not know.
Special feature: George Takei, famed "Star Trek" actor and former resident at Rohwer, was part of the dedication ceremonies in 2013. He recorded many of the audio stories shared through visual panels at the memorial site.
6. Mena Train Depot (Kansas City Southern Railroad Museum) | Mena
The train depot in Polk County is full of tour information for historical homes, a Lum and Abner exhibit, and stories of Queen Wilhemina and Janssen who founded Polk County. It is along the main Kansas City Southern Rail line, and if you hit it just right, you can experience the train while you are touring the station that was a cornerstone of establishing the railroad from St. Louis to south Texas.
Special Feature: In the back of the depot is a display of photographs of the rails in Polk County during different seasons and "A Ouachita Portrait," a Prismacolor collection of drawings by Monta Black Philpot.
7. Sevier County Historical Museum
Moving south from Mena, the train and its developer, Arthur Stillwell, set a route that reestablished the economic development of Sevier County to a more central location in De Queen, Arkansas. The museum, located not far from the original Fort Townsend line, makes this destination part of the third arm of the Trail of Tears.
Special feature: A miniature founders' village is accessible when the museum is open. The area also includes a conductor's train car and is a perfect tour for children or grown-ups who love trains.
8. Ashley County Museum and Watson House | Hamburg
The grand Greek Revival home of David E. Watson is the reason to visit. While it houses the Ashley County Historical Society, the 1918 Neo-Classical Revival style is highly reminiscent of architectural structures of the time period, and many of the original decorative features remain, including eight large columns on the front of the home. A 2010 renovation gutted the kitchen and made the venue, mostly used as a location for showers, weddings and philanthropic events more friendly for catering.
Special feature: The front parlor of the home hosts a grand piano made in the 1860s that arrived in Ashley County by wagon in 1890.
9. Nevada County Depot and Museum | Prescott
The arrival of the train established many smaller south Arkansas communities and proved a great success for connecting local farms with a greater audience for goods and disbursement.
Special feature: The display includes many military artifacts from both World Wars and the Arkansas National Guard. Also included: memorabilia from the Battle of Elkin's Ferry and Prairie D'Ane, both Civil War conflicts near Prescott.
10. Train Depot Museum | Hope
This train depot is a sacred space for many because it includes memorabilia from Bill Clinton and Mike Huckabee in their eras of growing up and political campaigns that launched from this small town.
Special feature: Most people come for the high school and childhood memorabilia pieces of Clinton and Huckabee. But still a well-known and active passenger stop for the Amtrak line, the depot showcases much about the ticketing and riding experience over the years and pays homage to the past passenger trains of this community.
11. Howard County Historical Society and 1912 EA Williams Chapel Museum | Nashville
Located inside the 1912 Presbyterian Church, the unique setting of the historical museum is not bordered along walls and displays in a backroom, rather it lines the walls of the wooden church building and celebrates the settlement of an important community.
Special feature: A new addition is a train house for the model set that can now be moved and relocated to community events and children's programs, bringing greater access to the story of the museum.
12. Dallas County Museum | Fordyce
Tells the story of the county and the famous Sparkman Sparklers. But the real gem is the information about Paul "Bear" Bryant who grew up in this area. The Dallas County Sports Museum recently hosted a traveling Smithsonian exhibit and tells the story of many famous Arkansans who first tied their sneakers in Dallas County.
Special feature: The telephone room exposes those interested in media with early communication tools and demonstrations.
13. Klipsch Museum of Audio History | Hope
This rare find is part of a pilgrimage tour that many people only get one chance to visit. The museum is a collection of early speaker and audio technology tools that honor the field of communication and the role that Paul W. Klipsch played in establishing early high fidelity and high definition resources.
Special feature: The museum's building is the "largest artifact." It was the site of the first Klipsch Manufacturing plant.

14. Lakeport Plantation | Lake Village
This plantation home, built on the Mississippi is a gem of the Arkansas Delta. The stories of the Johnson family's sharecropping, daily living, and family life are told throughout the museum and home tour. It is the only surviving Arkansas plantation home on the Mississippi River.
Special feature: The land has remained in continual cotton production since 1830 and provides live documentation of the south Arkansas agricultural environment.
15. Mid-America Science Museum | Hot Springs
This fully hands-on science museum is a hidden treasure on the western boundary of the Hot Springs National Park. It's hard to list one special feature, but exhibits include: a DinoTrek, the Skywalk and Light Bridge, a Tesla coil that emits 1.5 million volts of electricity and the Kye-Yac Clubhouse focused exclusively on early childhood learning and interaction.
16. Gangster Museum | Hot Springs
The Gangster Museum shares the stories of the 1940s. Long before Las Vegas was famous for shenanigans, Grand Avenue in Hot Springs kicked things off with rivalries greater than any SEC game weekend.
Special feature: An extra exhibit hall hosts roving collections, and the current exhibit shares the stories of a sacred baseball era in Hot Springs when Babe Ruth, Dizzy Dean, Daffy Dean and Hank Aaron spent more than just their summers stretching and preparing for the next season.
