(Peer),
FORENSIC SPECIALIST KAREN LEE ALCALA,
SERGEANT HOLMES,

(I count 14. Preserve the crime scene?)
"I THINK WE'VE PUT HALF THE COUNTRY TO SLEEP THIS MORNING."
Q. ALL RIGHT. WHEN YOU RETURNED TO THE SCENE AT APPROXIMATELY 1140 HOURS, STARTING AT APPROXIMATELY 1245 HOURS YOU COLLECTED SOME EVIDENCE; ISN'T THAT CORRECT?
A. THAT'S CORRECT.
Q. SPECIFICALLY ON ITEM NO. 7 WAS COLLECTED FROM DANIELLE VAN DAM'S BEDROOM; ISN'T THAT CORRECT?
(Objection, irrelevant!! What does this piece of evidence have to do with Danielle's disappearance? Was the original crime scene tampered with between searches? Was the "set" changed between takes?)
Q. THAT SPECIFIC ITEM WAS A CARTRIDGE CASE HEAD STAMPED "SUPER X," ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
A. IT WAS A CARTRIDGE CASE AND THE HEAD STAMP WAS "SUPER X."
Q. AND THIS CARTRIDGE CASE WAS SCRATCHED, INDENTED, RIGHT?
Q. THE CARTRIDGE CASE NOT THERE IN THAT ROOM DURING YOUR INITIAL EXAMINATION OF THE BEDROOM FLOOR ON FEBRUARY THE 2ND, 2002, ISN'T THAT CORRECT?
A. IT WAS NOT IN THE AREA THAT I EXAMINED ON THE FLOOR. I DON'T KNOW WHETHER IT WAS IN THE ROOM ALREADY OR NOT.
Dorie:
Q. When were you there earlier?
A. On february 4th at approximately 10:07. Those two paragraphs above --
q. I see it. And what you were doing in the -- about hour and a half between 10:07 and 11:35 is what?
A. Well, when i initially arrived we just sort of stood by, by the vans on the sidewalk waiting for everybody to get there that was supposed to get there.
A. And then i think i changed some evidence over to somebody. And then we went in and we did a walk-through of the van dam residence. That's when i initially met brenda and damon van dam.
q. Who is "we" and did the walk through?
A. The people, i recall, and there might have been more, with detective howie, gosh, ruben inzunza, myself, and i just don't recall who else was there.
highcard
I wonder if there is a George Stahlman, jr.
Denise took a call from George, but I always that was from George "Woody" Clark.

Danielle Van Dam was first discovered missing from her home Saturday morning, 1-FEB-2002. Her father had put her to bed sometime after 10 p.m. Friday, as her mother celebrated a co-worker's going-away party at a nearby Poway nightspot
Initially police reported that Mr. Van Dam told investigators he woke up around 1:30 a.m. Saturday to let out the family dog and noticed a burglar alarm light was blinking. He discovered a sliding glass door was open and he closed it
Mrs. Van Dam arrived home around 2:30 a.m. and stayed up for another hour with her husband and friends. She went to bed without looking in on their daughter, despite finding a side door into the yard ajar.
David Westerfield, a neighbor, has been arrested for the Kidnapping.

Tracking in or contaminating evidence. That does relate to what weight the court gives to the prosecution's physical evidence that's been produced at this hearing.
MR. DUSEK: Well, no evidence has been produced at this hearing as to any hair, fiber, blood, fingerprint evidence coming from Mr. Westerfield's house.
(And there's no hair, fiber, blood or fingerprint evidence coming from the van Dam house that ties Westerfield to the crime or crime scene.
What's more important, bugs or DNA?
What's more important, DNA found at the crime scene or suspicious behavior by the parents, SDPD and the dude a coupla doors down?)
Q: DID YOU EVER GO TO NORTHEASTERN IN CONNECTION WITH THE CASE, MA'AM?
A: MAYBE IN CONNECTION WITH THE CASE BUT NOT WITH THE EVIDENCE. I KNOW WE DROVE OUTSIDE OF NORTHEASTERN. I DON'T THINK WE EVER WENT IN.
(Hey Dorie, what's up? You're called to investigate a child reported missing and all evidence is being handled by homicide? What's up with that? Not all of us are that ignorant. Some of us do get it!! Just not as often as we would like.)
Robbery Jim:
Q OKAY. I'M SORRY. YOU JUST SAID LIEUTENANT DUNCAN WAS IN CHARGE OF THE PROCESSING ON THE WESTERFIELD INVESTIGATION PART. WHO WAS IN CHARGE OF THE INVESTIGATION AND PROCESSING OF THE VAN DAM ASPECT OF THE CASE?
A THE HOMICIDE TOOK OVER RESPONSIBILITY FOR ALL PHYSICAL EVIDENCE.
(It really doesn't get more obvious, does it?)
Q WHEN DANIELLE SLEEPS, WHAT DOES SHE WEAR?
A HER PAJAMAS.
Q DESCRIBE THOSE FOR US.
A THEY WERE BLUE, LIGHT-BABY-BLUE. THE PANTS ONLY WENT DOWN TO HER MID-CALF. THEY HAD FLOWERS ON THE BOTTOM, CASCADING LIGHTLY UP. AND THE TOP WAS KIND OF LIKE A TANKTOP. AND IT ALSO HAD FLOWERS ON THE BOTTOM AND IT HAD SOME BUTTERFLIES CASCADING UP.
(Oops, you forgot to mention the bloodstains on the pajamas, didn't ya?)
Q: IN PARTICULAR WERE YOU ASKED TO EXAMINE A PAIR OF BLUE/WHITE, BLUE-AND-WHITE PAJAMAS IDENTIFIED AS ITEM NUMBER 2?
A: YES, I WAS.
Q: IN THE COURSE OF THAT EXAMINATION, DID YOU LOOK FOR THE PRESENCE OF ANY BLOODSTAINS?
A: YES, I DID.
Q: WHAT DID YOU FIND?
A: I FOUND A -- WHAT I WOULD DESCRIBE AS A BLOOD-LIKE STAIN ON THE CUFF OF THE LEFT SLEEVE OF THE PAJAMA TOP.
Q: DID YOU TAKE ANY ACTIONS WITH REGARD TO THAT STAIN?
A: YES. I RAN A CHEMICAL PRESUMPTIVE TEST FOR BLOOD.
Q: WITH WHAT RESULTS?
A: I GOT A POSITIVE RESULT ON THAT TEST.
...A THEY WERE BLUE, LIGHT-BABY-BLUE. THE PANTS ONLY WENT DOWN TO HER MID-CALF. THEY HAD FLOWERS ON THE BOTTOM, CASCADING LIGHTLY UP. AND THE TOP WAS KIND OF LIKE A TANKTOP. AND IT ALSO HAD FLOWERS ON THE BOTTOM AND IT HAD SOME BUTTERFLIES CASCADING UP.
(By tanktop do you mean a top without sleeves? If Danielle's pajamas were never recovered to whom do the pajamas in Danielle's bedroom belong to and how did they get Danielle's blood on them?
Did the pajamas belong to the same person the separate item, a pair of jeans belonged to?)
...Q: SO YOU UNDERSTOOD THEM TO BE A PAIR OF DANIELLE VAN DAM'S PAJAMAS, ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
A: I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY CAME FROM THE FLOOR OF HER BEDROOM.
(Again, If Danielle's pajamas were never recovered to whom do the pajamas in Danielle's bedroom belong to and how did they get Danielle's blood on them?)
...Q: DID YOU ALSO COLLECT ANY OTHER CLOTHING INSIDE DANIELLE'S BEDROOM?
Q: WHAT DID THAT INCLUDE?
A: ALONG WITH THE UNDERPANTS, THERE WERE SOME SOCKS AND A SHIRT AND THEN A SEPARATE ITEM. THERE WAS A PAIR OF JEANS.
Q: DID THIS CLOTHING INCLUDE A PURPLE-COLORED LONG-SLEEVE SHIRT?
A: THE SHIRT WAS INSIDE OUT, AND IT WAS DEFINITELY LONG-SLEEVED. I DON'T RECALL IF IT WAS PURPLE.
(Inside out like it had been worn that day or perhaps taken off to try on the new shirt that had just been purchased?)

"He was my go-to trial lawyer," said former District Attorney Paul Pfingst, who ran the office during the Westerfield trial. "Jeff brings with him a dashing figure and a personal credibility that is very persuasive with jurors."
(I challenge his credibility concerning the Westerfield investigation and trial!!! Just goes to show what happens when the evidence gets overshadowed by the cast.)
Your honor, I don't think there's anything to view at the van Dam home. We simply have the layout of the floor. There was no evidence seized. It's been repainted. But I think if the court deems that that's necessary, that can happen. I do not see how that is -- even comes close to the same importance of the motor home.
-Prosecuting attorney Jeff Dusek
Q WHAT WAS THE CONDITION OF HER MOUTH?
A THE MOUTH WAS FULL OF THE SOFT MATERIAL, MORE APPEARANCE OF MUD, YOU KNOW. I DON'T BELIEVE IT WAS MUD. JUST THE TISSUE HAD DETERIORATED TO THAT DEGREE. BUT WE DID SWAB IT.
(The mouth was full of mud, which explains why Sperber missed the two teeth hidden in Danielle's mouth, in the mud. Somebody probably cleaned the mud and well, what do you know, the TWO missing teeth. The other two teeth were missing BEFORE Danielle went missing.)
...A. The inside of the mouth was pretty well decomposed. There was not much tonicity or tone to the tissue, which is normal in decomposition. There was I believe three teeth missing. One known as a baby canine, and two permanent teeth, two permanent incisors. Two of the front teeth were missing.
...Q NOW, YOU DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING IN THE HEAD, CORRECT?
A NOT IN THE HEAD. THERE WERE ONE OR TWO MAGGOTS THAT WERE COMING UP THROUGH THE THROAT INTO THE MOUTH.
Q. Did you ever locate those teeth, the missing teeth?
A. One I did locate. We had a lateral X-ray, and there was one that I did not notice the very first time the examination occurred, but there was a lateral plate taken, that's an X-ray, the side of the victim's head, and I could see in the back there was a tooth there which appeared to be a human tooth. I recovered that, placed it back in the mouth, and then took X-rays of that and photographs of that tooth in place.
(It only took TWO sets of x-rays to discover a missing tooth in the mouth of the victim. A missing tooth in the mouth of the victim. Sounds like the missing pajamas on the floor of the victim. That's OK, it took Soriano three days and three visual examinations before he found any blood on the jacket. Blood that had been apparently missed by 7 or 8 people before being turned over to him. Complete incompetence or a cover-up. (E.) All of the above.)
...AS IT ORDINARILY WOULD WHEN SOMEONE IS ALIVE. AND THAT SOME OF THE TEETH WERE MISSING. I THINK HE'LL TALK ABOUT THREE OR FOUR TEETH WERE MISSING. AND HIS STATEMENT I BELIEVE WOULD BE THAT HE THOUGHT THEY FELL OUT FROM DECOMPOSITION.
...Q: IN THAT EXAMINATION DID YOU FIND ANY TEETH OUTSIDE THE BODY; THAT IS, I'M SORRY, TEETH THAT WERE NOT INSIDE THE MOUTH OF THAT PARTICULAR BODY?
A: NO, I DIDN'T.
...A. I DETERMINED THERE WERE FOUR MISSING TEETH. THE TWO INCISORS, THE LEFT, THE LATERAL INCISOR ON THE RIGHT AND NEXT IS A CANINE. THOSE FOUR TEETH WERE ABSENT.
(Two of everything, even missing teeth counts.)
...DOCTOR SPERBER LOCATED ONE OF THEM INSIDE THE BACK OF THE MOUTH, I BELIEVE BETWEEN THE GUM AND THE TEETH. THAT WAS THE LATERAL INCISOR ON THE LEFT. SO THERE'S STILL THREE MISSING TEETH.
...Norman Donald Sperber.
...MR. BOYCE: WELL, YOUR HONOR, THEY PRESENTED EVIDENCE THROUGH DR. BLACKBOURNE THAT THE -- HE COULD NOT RULE OUT THE CAUSE OF DEATH BEING SUFFOCATION. THEY ALSO ATTEMPTED TO PRESENT EVIDENCE THAT THE TEETH WERE MISSING FROM THE VICTIM IN THIS CASE. THAT'S CERTAINLY EVIDENCE OF PREMEDITATION AND DELIBERATION, THE MANNER IN WHICH THE HOMICIDE OCCURRED.
...Q. DID YOU FIND ANY TEETH OUTSIDE HER MOUTH?
A. NO, I DID NOT.
...DID YOU OBSERVE AT ANY TIME ANY TEETH OUTSIDE THE BODY OF DANIELLE VAN DAM?
A. OUTSIDE THE BODY, NO.
...Q: DID YOU SEE ANY TEETH OTHER THAN INSIDE THE MOUTH OF DANIELLE VAN DAM?
...A. YES. WE EXAMINED ALL THE X-RAYS. AND ACTUALLY, WE TOOK THE BAG WHERE WE WERE REMOVING ALL THE ORGANS, PUT THEM BACK IN THE BODY. WE HAVE A BIG PLASTIC BAG AND WE X-RAYED THE CONTENTS OF THAT AND THERE WERE NO TEETH IN THERE.
...Q: COULD YOU SEE ANY TEETH?
A: I DON'T RECALL AT THIS POINT IF I COULD SPECIFICALLY SEE TEETH OR NOT.
(Was she wearing any clothes? Can't see teeth, can's see clothing?)
Q: WAS ONE OF YOUR PURPOSES, WERE YOU ASSIGNED A SPECIFIC TASK OF LOCATING TEETH AT THE SCENE?
A: YES. FOLLOWING ACTUALLY THE REMOVAL OF THE BODY IT WAS INDICATED TO ME THAT THERE WAS AN IMPORTANCE PLACED ON SEEING IF WE COULD LOCATE ANY OTHER TEETH.
Q: I'M SORRY. ANY OTHER TEETH? YOU MEAN SOME TEETH HAD APPARENTLY BEEN RECOVERED?
A: NO. I DIDN'T MEAN TO IMPLY THAT. ANY TEETH.
Q: AND THAT WORD CAME TO YOU AFTER THE BODY WAS REMOVED, IS THAT CORRECT?
A: THAT IS CORRECT.
...Q: AND IS THAT -- DO THE PHOTOS IN D AND C ACCURATELY DEPICT THE CONDITION OF THE TEETH OR TOOTH AT OR NEAR THE TIME OF YOUR FIRST OBSERVATION?
A: YES. I MAY HAVE JUST CLEANED THEM UP A LITTLE BIT WITH A CLOTH, BUT THAT IS THE CONDITION THEY WERE IN.
Q: BUT YOU DID NOT REMOVE ANY OF THE TEETH AND THEN PUT THEM BACK IN, DID YOU?
A: NO, I DID NOT.
...Q: IT WAS NOT ONE OF THE MISSING TEETH, WAS IT?
A: IT WAS NOT.
Q: BECAUSE YOU FOUND IT WHERE?
A: I THINK IT WAS RIGHT IN THE FRONT, SORT OF ON THE TONGUE, THE TIP OF THE TONGUE.
(Only one word comes to mind, IMPOSSIBLE!!!)
Q did you ask dr. Blackbourne regarding brain, any observations of bugs or maggots or flies in the brain?
A yes, i did.
Q what did you learn?
A i was surprised. There were not any in the brain area in the skull.
And so i asked him if that was typical because he's seen a lot more autopsies than i have. And he didn't think it was unusual to have the brain at that part -- at that point at least intact and in a membrane.
Q but at least there were no bugs or flies or insects that had made their way into the head cavity.
A not that i saw.
Entomology and maximum PMI
http://justicedenied.org/wordpress/archives/1826
The experts include three forensic entomologists with new evidence establishing to a scientific certainty Bailey died after sunset, which was at 8:01 p.m. on July 8, 2001.
(But what if the "old" evidence was ignored???)
Dr. Gail S. Anderson explains in her report dated December 17, 2009 that flies begin laying eggs within minutes after death on an exposed body and they stop laying eggs after sunset. There were no fly eggs in any of Bailey's many open wounds or his orifices, so the three experts independently determined he died after sunset.
The forensic entomologists are Dr. Anderson, Dr. M. Lee Goff, and Dr. Linda-Lou O'Connor. Dr. Anderson is a professor at the School of Criminology at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia and was recognized by Time magazine as one of the top five global innovators in the Criminal Justice Field this century.
Dr. Goff is the director of the Chaminade University Forensic Sciences program in Honolulu, Hawaii, and the entomology advisor for the CSI and CSI: Miami television shows. Dr. O'Connor was formerly with the Department of Entomology at the University of Kentucky and is an independent consultant at forensic entomology.
Forensic pathologist Dr. Glen Larkin's new medical evidence that Bailey died within the two hours between 8 p.m. and his body's discovery at 10 p.m. corroborates the new entomology evidence about Bailey's time of death.
(Yeah, it's what the insects have been trying to tell you for 12+ years. Why aren't we smart enough to listen?)
snipped
The change.org petition in support of Kirstin Blaise Lobato can be signed at, http://www.change.org/petitions/just...-blaise-lobato.
So another case in which entomology established a maximum PMI. No arguments, not even by Goff, that something might have delayed infestation. Such as a body covering that another homeless person might have taken.

Sometime in the three o'clock hour, he said, something woke him up and he noticed that an alarm panel indicated an open door or window somewhere in the house. When he went to investigate, he found the rear sliding door open. He concluded that one of his wife's friends had opened the door, a conclusion he said he made "quickly and mistakenly."
(I guess they must have opened the door AFTER they had left the house and after Damon & Brenda called it a night. Why do Damon and Brenda appear to be more than victims?)
"Did you check on the kids?" asked Dusek.
"I didn't check on the kids. I was tired and I didn't think that door being open was that important at the time," he said.


Pirates of the Caribbean returns in Kingdom Hearts 3 as one of the few familiar worlds that Sora, Donald, and Goofy visit in the game. This Disney world, known as The Caribbean in the game, sees you hang out and battle alongside the likes of Captain Jack Sparrow and the other pirates.
During Sony's E3 2018 Press Conference a new Kingdom Hearts III trailer debuted that confirmed players will be returning to the world based on Pirates of the Caribbean. Sora is seen interacting with Captain Jack Sparrow and his crew, as well as other major characters like Elizabeth Swann, Will Turner, Captain Barbosa, and Calypso. Sora and his friends are also seen sporting all new pirate themed outfits.
Based on the trailer it seems that players will get a chance to explore more of the Caribbean this time around. We see Sora captaining a full size pirate ship and getting into sea battles with other vessels. He is also shown swimming around in the sea and battling Heartless underwater.

Chemical Archaeology: Digging up our Chemical Past in Interstellar Space
In Search of a Better Leaf
As our tiny submarine sinks, the sunlight fades. Around 100 yards deep into the ocean, the darkness encompasses us—and we still have 3000 feet left to descend. A few points of light puncture the darkness as we pass through clouds of animals, most likely jellyfish or their relatives. Their ghostly shapes twinkle and shimmer in the dark, silent as stars—perhaps to communicate, attract prey, or for some other arcane reason altogether.
Illustration by Emma Sosa for Caltech Letters
Some say that we know more about the furthest reaches of our galaxy than our own oceans. While this statement is a bit exaggerated, it is true that we have better maps of the Moon, Venus, and Mars than the ocean floor. Only about 0.05% of the seafloor has been mapped with high-resolution sonar—about the same fraction as the area of Rhode Island compared with the continental United States. Even less has been observed by the human eye, so it is no surprise that we have little understanding of the complex interactions between oceanic lifeforms and their environment.
Work in the 1840s by the British naturalist Edward Forbes initially portrayed the ocean as a vast, lifeless desert. It took over a hundred years to correct that first impression, but we now understand that the ocean floor is far more complex than Forbes could have ever imagined. Even in the most nutrient-poor areas, ocean sediments are filled with microorganisms like bacteria, archaea, and other single-celled organisms. Without sunlight readily available as an energy source, these organisms eke out an existence in the cold depths by consuming marine snow, particles made of decaying surface organisms and other debris which gently sink down to the seafloor. Perhaps one "snowflake" is a globule of bacteria, while another is a crumb from a shark's lunch.
Forty-five minutes of slow sinking later, we arrive at our destination: the ocean floor. For the next eight hours, we will eagerly observe, sample, and document our surroundings, seeing parts of the earth no human eyes have witnessed before. Our submarine is the legendary Deep Submersible Vehicle (DSV) Alvin, operated out of the research ship Atlantis. Alvin has explored the Titanic, discovered the first underwater hydrothermal vents, and examined the impacts of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, but the purpose of our dive today in this fabled vehicle is to explore a methane seep west of Costa Rica and the many fantastic animals and microbes that inhabit it.
Alvin selfie in the deep: Alvin collecting experiments in an inactive region of the ocean floor. The camera was mounted on an "elevator," a sample platform with easily detachable weights. The elevator is sunk prior to Alvin, loaded with samples, and released to the surface to allow for early sample retrieval by the shipboard scientists.
Crew of AT37-13 and AT42-03
Typically found close to tectonic plate boundaries, methane seeps are the result of one plate sliding under another. As the lower plate heats up, a host of volatile chemicals are released from their rocky prisons and flee to the surface, including dissolved metals like gold and platinum as well as greenhouse gases like methane and carbon dioxide. The methane-rich fluids either escape explosively at dramatic vents—appearing as plumes of white or black "smoke"—or more gently at seeps, where they invisibly trickle into the seafloor sediment.
At both vents and seeps, the quantity and vibrancy of life is much greater than the rest of the deep ocean. The methane at these sites is the fundamental energy source for the food web at these communities—no sunlight necessary. In the darkness, bacteria and other tiny lifeforms have evolved to consume the methane and breathe sulfate (an abundant chemical in the oceans) the same way you would eat a sandwich and breathe oxygen. A host of fabulous animals like worms, snails, and sea pigs, a type of sea cucumber, act as herbivores, eating the methane consumers as their main food source. Other animals like tubeworms, mussels, clams, and yeti crabs farm their own species of microbes on their bodies using the waste of methane consumers like manure in fertilizer. Yeti crabs are particularly interesting. They grow their bacteria on special hairs on their arms, and to give their microbe farms a little extra food, they "dance," waving their arms to the beat of methane flux from the sediment. Thus, the collective noun for a group of yeti crabs is a "party".

A variety of other species that do not feed directly on the methane-consumers also reside close to the seeps, including beautiful octopi, worms, crabs, and shrimp. These organisms are connected to the food web in other ways. Some are predators, hunting the microbe-eating herbivores, and others are scavengers, living off the scraps of the predators.
If the ocean floor is a watery desert, methane seeps and vents are the oases, attracting a diverse collection of organisms from the surrounding area. Our research in Costa Rica is aimed at understanding the sphere of influence around a seep and exactly how the local microorganisms impact the broader seafloor community. This is a difficult question to thoroughly answer since new species are discovered virtually every time another seep is explored. Our team of scientists not only characterizes the new species, but also how it interacts with other organisms. To that end, we use the many cameras, containers, and sampling devices on the Alvin to collect sediment and rocks rich with animals and microbial communities so we can study them in our shipboard laboratory.
Mussels and clams are frequent inhabitants of methane seeps, but the mussels here are different from those you would find close to shore. Instead, these mussels host sulfide- or methane-eating microbes within their gills, which provide food for their host in exchange for protection via the mussel's shell. You can also see many other typical inhabitants of a methane seep here, including galatheid crabs and shrimp, serpulid worms (the little white tubes on the rocks), and even a couple of yeti crabs (center at the very top and just right of center). Serpulid worms and limpets (aquatic snails) also dot the shells of the mussels, but everything else sits atop a large carbonate rock, which is a byproduct of the methane-consuming microbes.
Although there are now a number of submarines and remote-controlled vehicles dedicated to oceanic exploration, the Alvin program was the first. In truth, this is the third version of Alvin to exist. The first, constructed back in 1964, had only a fraction of the capability of the newest, but the basic design has remained the same: interior chamber, thrusters, a handful of small viewports, and a sample collection arm. The most important feature is the 11,000 pound, 7-foot diameter titanium bubble that houses the three people diving: one pilot and two scientists. It is nearly a perfect sphere—the best shape for handling the tremendous pressure at the ocean floor—an engineering marvel in its own right. Alvin is designed to be fully functional 21,000 ft deep, where the pressure is 637 times higher than at the surface. In an attempt to ward off my nerves about descending to such depths, a pilot once told me, "There's really no reason to be worried. At that depth, if the sphere fails, you'll be crushed before your brain can even register that it's happening."
It didn't help.
But the greatest danger isn't pressure, it's fire. The sphere is chock-full of electronic equipment, from GPS and sonar to 4K cameras and the haptic feedback controls for the many-jointed arms that collect samples; in the tight quarters, a fire could be disastrous. Oxygen concentrations in the cabin are kept purposefully low to help smother any fire, about 10% lower than the atmosphere, despite the wicked headache this gives the occupants the next day. Thanks to the many precautions taken by the Alvin engineers, the program boasts an impressive safety record. In more than 5,000 dives, there has never been an instrument problem that prevented the recovery of the Alvin and all souls onboard.
Our lab will make good use of the hundreds of samples we obtain during the 21 Alvin dives we take on this particular expedition, but such progress comes at a significant cost. Diving in the Alvin costs about $45,000 per day, not including any scientific personnel or data processing costs. So why do yeti crabs and worms, cute as they may be, warrant such a huge investment for scientific study?
Because most people will never see these creatures in their natural habitat, the ocean floor may seem like it has little impact on the day-to-day lives of humans. In reality, the methane-consuming communities that occupy these seeps are vitally important for maintaining the global climate. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas; a molecule of methane added to the atmosphere traps about 20 times more heat than a molecule of carbon dioxide. Fortunately, 80–90% of the methane produced in the oceans is consumed by the organisms at these seep sites before it ever reaches the atmosphere. Without these organisms, the amount of methane entering our atmosphere every year could increase by almost 20%, with disastrous effects on the global climate and life on the surface.
Unfortunately, we aren't the only visitors to these seeps and vents, and today these fragile, vital environments are under threat. The hydrothermal fluids that carry the methane from the melting tectonic plate upward are also laden with gold, platinum, and rare-earth elements like lithium. In a world increasingly powered by lithium batteries, vents and seeps are attractive prospects for mining operations. According to the United Nations, the seafloor in international waters is the "common heritage of mankind" and is therefore protected. Many seeps, however, lie in waters directly controlled by particular nations, and vent mining operations have already started in a handful of locations. As we continue to gather more information on these deep-ocean communities through our adventures in the Alvin, we are beginning to understand how detrimental mining operations can be to ocean life. One of our recent discoveries, unfortunately, is that methane-consuming organisms do not exist at appreciable abundances anywhere beyond the region of methane seepage. If mining operations continue to seek out lithium and other metals in the main areas of methane seepage, they are likely to disrupt the microbes that are the bedrock for the entire seep community and responsible for preventing a catastrophic amount of methane from entering our atmosphere.
Characterizing these environments is a vital first step in preserving them, but we must also convince the general public that these sites are worth saving. The deep sea scientific community has recently made strides to share data and video of these locations and the amazing creatures that inhabit them to inspire people to want to preserve these sites. Our hope is that we can change hearts and minds, one dancing yeti crab video at a time.

Walt's Plane to Be Restored and Displayed for Special Exhibit
Posted by: Jamie Sylvester
Exciting news today as we're learning Walt Disney's plane is being brought back to life! While it doesn't sound like it'll be taking to the skies anytime soon, Disney has announced it will be restored and on display for a special exhibit.
RELATED: 2022 D23 Expo Event & Ticket Sale Dates Revealed!
The popular Disney fan D23 Expo is known as "the largest Disney fan event in the world" and "celebrates all the wonderful worlds of The Walt Disney Company under one roof, including the best of Disney, Pixar, Star Wars, and Marvel across film, television, streaming, theme parks, products, online, music, live entertainment, and more."
This year, Disney has announced the D23 Expo will be held September 9 -11 at Anaheim Convention Center in California. The event is especially exciting in 2022 as it will be the kick-off to the celebration of 100 years of The Walt Disney Company.

Now, we're learning of a special exhibit coming to D23 that we know Disney fans are going to be thrilled to see. That's right, Walt's plane will be on display!

It was no secret that the company plane was a pride and joy of Walt Disney's. D23 reports that throughout Walt's career, the Disney company used three planes. The first plane was a Beechcraft Queen Air (1963–1965) but was later traded in for a new tan and brown turboprop, the Beechcraft King Air (1965–1967). This second plane was chosen for its fast and quiet features and used the N234MM tail number.
Interestingly enough, Disney pilots would make their initial air traffic call-ups, "Two, three, four, metro metro," but would also try, "Two, three, four, Mickey Mouse," which is an improper FAA communication. Soon, FAA en-route controllers began calling the Disney plane the "Mickey Mouse." It was said that other corporate pilots became jealous of Disney's special "Mickey Mouse" treatment.

The third plane was a Grumman Gulfstream which was put into service in 1964. This was the plane used to survey the Walt Disney World property during the Florida land acquisition. When it was time to retire the plane, the Gulfstream made its final landing on World Drive at Walt Disney World Resort in 1992. It was put on display at the Studio Backlot Tour at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
Now, 30 years after the aircraft's final landing, Walt's pride and joy is going to be on display for Disney history fans to see.
Disney D23 took to Instagram on January 13 to share the brief video noting, "JUST ANNOUNCED: We are thrilled to share that, working with Amazon, we are bringing Walt Disney's plane to #D23Expo, where it will be restored and on display for Guests to see at an exhibit called Mickey Mouse One: Walt's Plane presented by Amazon."

The Maritim Hotel is a luxurious 5-star resort of a very high standard and one of the leading hotels of Mauritius. Renovated in the year 2000, this perfect blend of tropical and colonial architecture overlooks Turtle Bay and the historical "Balaclava".
The remnants of this 18th century estate provide an elegant background for a sophisticated and yet totally relaxing vacation.
The Maritim Hotel consists of 221 sea-facing rooms. Its 2 wings form the main building. Three restaurants, two bars and a pool lounge overlooking the twin pools provide a luxurious yet comfortable background. Combined with the genuine friendliness of the ever smiling Mauritian staff, at stay at the Maritim will certainly be a memorable one.
The Maritim Hotel Mauritius is well known for its capacity of hosting international conferences. It is therefore often booked by international organizations as well as the local government. This comes to reflect in the professional attitude of the staff, as they are used to provide high quality service, from which anyone who stays at the Maritim will benefit.


Conservatives are starting to worry about income inequality. For real.
Put simply, a severely skewed income distribution harms the pace and sustainability of growth over the longer term. It leads to an economy of exclusion, and a wasteland of discarded potential.
Why do so many ordinary folks vote to help the rich and hurt themselves?
Why do those on (or who will be on) Social Security and Medicare vote for Romney and Ryan? Ryan calls Social Security a Ponzi scheme, a collectivist system that we should end. Romney wants to turn Medicare into vouchers, which won't adequately cover costs. And if you're old and in the private market, who will insure you, anyway?
Romney complains about people who pay no income taxes – the lazy 47% — and says everybody should pay them. Unless you're an investor. Ryan wants to bring the capital gains rate down to 0. Then Mitt wouldn't pay income taxes, either.
One of my friends who's uninsured hates Obamacare, but now his daughter's in the hospital.
Another guy I know is blind but he's a Romney fan. Since Romney will cut all spending outside of defense, Social Security and Medicare, this guy will be out of luck.
Turns out, people tend to see through the eyes of the privileged because the privileged have more control over ideas. They own television and radio stations, newspapers and magazines. They run government — and get campaign contributions from wealthy donors, who expect something in return. They fund think-tanks to create an acceptable message. Billionaire-owned Fox News and friends then spread the word.
Example: A wealthy Wall Street businessman makes a big contribution to his local member of Congress. He has a conversation telling her that a low rate on capital gains will encourage investment (a message created in think tanks). There's no proof of this, but the excuse will do. Fox and friends then spread the word. Now repeat over and over so that people begin to believe it.
These folks just don't fund think tanks or have the campaign cash to change the tax rate.
For good measure think tanks message claims that minorities take money – in the form of welfare – away from hardworking whites. Welfare uses less than 1% of the federal budget. But it's a great distraction from the redistribution of wealth from the middle-class and the poor to the rich, via outsourcing, offshoring, union-busting, technology replacing workers and failing to raise the minimum wage, for instance. (Not to mention big tax cuts, loopholes and shelters for the wealthiest).
Do everything you can to exaggerate the disincentive effects of higher taxes, while trying to convince middle-income voters that the benefits of government programs go to other people. And at the same time, you'd do everything you can to disenfranchise lower-income citizens, so that the median voter has a higher income than the median citizen.
Ah, but what if the truth comes out?
Easy-breezy: Warn against academics, liberal media bias, and fact-checkers so that folks will continue voting in the interests of the rich and powerful, and against themselves.
Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain, Dorothy.

Operations manager has big job coordinating CSO productions
December 16, 2010 at 8:40 a.m. | Updated December 16, 2010 at 8:40 a.m.
by Barry Courter
Kathy Allison, operations manager for the Chattanooga Symphony and Opera, is photographed in the supply room at the CSO office in the Tivoli Center in downtown Chattanooga.
Kathy Allison has worn many hats over the years, and all of them helped prepare her for her job as operations manager of the Chattanooga Symphony & Opera.
Allison spent 30 years teaching music in the Hamilton County school system. During that time she was also costume mistress with the CSO. In the mid-1980s, she became the first female member of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees. In that role, she has been a part of the stage crew at most of the shows at the Tivoli Theatre and Memorial Auditorium.
Before taking the CSO job, she was dean of fine arts at the Center for Creative Arts.
Q: Describe what you do at the CSO.
A: It depends on what the production calls for, really. Operas require the most work because of the staging involved. I secure quotes, research staging, measure the chorus for costumes, pick costumes and, when they arrive, make necessary alterations.
Q: Are most costumes rented or made new?
A: Pretty much everything is rented. It's more economical to rent than to build. I was (however) involved in building the costumes for "Hansel & Gretel" and "Susannah."
Q: What are the main talents needed for being the operations manager at the CSO?
A: I think my job at the Center for Creative Arts was the job that best prepared me for this. As dean of fine arts, I was responsible for a successful production; and also budgeting, planning, scheduling. There are a lot of organizational skills. We were a school but also a production company.
With the symphony, it's everything from planning the production to packing it away. It is different because of the guest artists. You have to book their hotels, plan their schedules and their itinerary, hospitality, travel. It calls upon every communication skill there is.
Kathy Allison
Hometown: Chattanooga.
Education: Master's degree in music education from UTC.
Vocation: Operations manager for the Chattanooga Symphony & Opera; previously spent 30 years as a music educator with Hamilton County Schools, retiring as dean of fine arts from Center for Creative Arts.

In El Salvador, abortion is illegal underneath all circumstances, including rape. Gay marriage is forbidden and there's no authorized gender recognition for trans folks. Guatemalan lawmakers have passed a sweeping new invoice mandating as much as 10 years of jail time for girls who obtain abortions, explicitly banning same-sex marriage and preventing colleges from teaching about sexual range. Guatemala's civil code limits the sexual and reproductive rights of girls and girls with disabilities, including by forcing sterilization and different contraceptive treatments with out their consent.

Once after I was with my mom, I seen how I was, and I advised my sister and she or he told my mother. I went to a friend's, the one with the soft-drink stand and told her my problem, and I labored together with her for room and board. Sometimes, when we were selecting cotton, the airplane would fly over us, spraying insecticide, and nearly all of the workers would get poisoned. We needed to hide the water and food so that the poison wouldn't get to them.
Judges can require girls to reshape their experience to meet the provisions of the law and make rulings that deemphasize the expertise of violence. My specific research of Guatemalan women seeking asylum reveals how factual distortions, institutionalized prejudice, and misogyny impact the asylum course of. OHCHR-Guatemala has performed a leading role in gathering and providing reliable and credible data concerning allegations of human rights violations and tendencies to varied national and international human rights mechanisms.
One good day in the month of July, two compañeros and I went out destined for a place in one of many departments . At a determined spot, we left the automobile and commenced to stroll until we encountered another compañero who took us to a concientización (consciousness-raising) assembly with different peasants. I had severe difficulties; being from the city, it wasn't simple for me to walk, I slipped, fell, and bruised myself while my compañieros smiled and did every thing potential to assist me.

On a cold, clear, moonless night in the middle of winter, all is not quite what it seems in the remote, mythical town of Almost, Maine. As the northern lights hover in the star-filled sky above, Almost's residents find themselves falling in and out of love in unexpected and often hilarious ways. Knees are bruised. Hearts are broken. But the bruises heal, and the hearts mend in this delightful midwinter night's dream.
Almost, Maine is a play by John Cariani. It comprises nine short plays that explore love and loss in a remote, mythical almost-town called Almost, Maine. It premiered at the Portland Stage Company in Portland, Maine in 2004 where it broke box office records and garnered critical acclaim. OTG West's production of Almost, Maine is the first production of the expansion of Ophelia Theater Group back to Southern California.
This production features actors from the New York, off-Broadway cast from OTG, Astoria.


Heading out for a day walk is a great way to explore New Zealand's outdoors. From a simple boardwalk loop in the native forest just off the main highway to the challenging Tongariro Alpine Crossing, New Zealand is overflowing with great day walk options.
Tracks here can differ dramatically and will require different levels of fitness, equipment and planning. It's important to recognise that the perceived risk of a day walk can be very low, where as the potential risk can be surprisingly high. It doesn't take a big injury to slow you or your group down considerably and there are plenty of people who've got lost at a track junction. If you do have an 'incident' in the outdoors and you end up spending an unexpected night out, the temperature can drop dramatically and its often damp as well. You'll be thankful you planned accordingly.
A Walk in the Park? is the third insights publication to be released following 'There and Back, 2016' and 'A Hunter's Tale, 2017'. We now dive into incidents tramping incidents in New Zealand. A Walk in the Park? is the most comprehensive insights exploration that we have undertaken. We've found richer and deeper data than we had available for There and Back.
Where are you going? Find routes online, talk to experienced friends and experts to find a trip that suits your skills. Do you need permission for the area?
Who are you going with? How experienced are the group members? What previous experience and skills can they bring?
Where can you get local knowledge? Visit your local DOC centre, talk to locals or research online.
What are potential hazards? Think about the weather, the season, the local area and understand what hazards could occur along your trip.
How will help find you?
When you will be back?
Staying longer than expected, and therefore extra supplies.
Are you feeling up to it?
What you take with you will make all the difference if something were to go wrong such as getting lost, delayed or injured.
A communication device. Mobile phones have limited coverage in most outdoor locations. If you are going into a remote area consider hiring a personal locator beacon.

What are the Best Types of Telecommunication Towers?
Telecommunication towers combine different structures to ease the communication between areas. When you see mobile networking, wireless communication, television antennas, and radio broadcasting, they all intersect at the telecom towers.
By definition, telecommunication towers are a set of the electronic signal processing unit and mechanical structures that connect people via telecommunication. Mobile phone services and telephone lines are all connected via these towers.
They can be used for armed forces purposes and for the radar system. For different purposes and in different places, there are different heights of towers.
The most common heights are between 15 and 60 meters but may extend beyond that depending on the requirement. For instance, hill areas have shorter towers than land areas such as 30 to 60 meters high towers inland areas and 15 to 30 meters high towers in hill areas.
The types of telecommunication towers may vary based on the type of sections, structural action, placement of tower, and their cross-section.
Based on the structural action, there are three major groups under this category which are guyed towers, self-supporting towers, and monopole.
Guyed towers – When compared to self-supporting towers, these towers provide height at lower material costs because of the insufficient use of high-strength steel in guyed towers. The central mast in guyed towers has a triangular lattice section and is guyed in three directions over an anchor radius of about two-thirds of the tower height. Where icing is very heavy to ice up lattice sections, tubular masts are used.
Self-supporting towers – They are so-called because they are supported on buildings or on the ground. They are also suitable in many situations and require less base area although their weight is more. Examples of self-supporting towers are power transmission, TV, MW, and floodlight towers.
Monopole – Monopoles are placed over the roofs of a tall building when the required number of antennae is less. This is why they are called single self-supporting poles and may be placed on heights of a tower that is less than 9m.
Based on the cross-section of the tower, the cross-sections may be triangular, square, rectangular, hexagonal, delta, and polygonal. With open steel lattice towers, there is an efficient use of the material. More so, one can construct stiff and light-weight structures because of lesser exposure to wind loads. Examples of lattice towers are broadcasting towers and power transmission and telecommunication.

Sheer bloody-minded defiance has taken this Test into the fifth day, and England have much to thank Captain Alastair Cook and chief Lieutenant Matt Prior for.
As they did yesterday, England made it through the final session of the day without losing a wicket, proving that once you get in batting is not as hard as their top order made it appear in the first innings. Of course, you do still have to get in.
Nick Compton was the first to go, adding just three to his overnight score. He has shown enough strength of character in this match to keep his place for the series one would think, barring serious aberration, but he was uncertain this morning and never looked like repeating his efforts of last night. The middle order mustered just 41 runs between them. Jonathan Trott looked capable for a while before Pragyan Ojha got one to take the shoulder of his bat, while Kevin Pietersen mustered just two before being bowled around his legs. He has bowled more deliveries in this match than he has faced.
Ian Bell did what he could to make up his his hideous shot in the first innings, hitting a delightful cover drive to the boundary off his second ball - keeping it along hte ground this time. But a classy 22 does not win, or even save Test matches and a man playing his 82nd Test was expected to produce more. He departs India after this Test to attend the birth if his child, but it remains to be seen if he can win his place back.
For the second time in the match England lost their fourth and fifth wicket in consecutive deliveries, as Umesh Yadav pinned Samit Patel first ball. As in the first innings Patel will feel aggrieved, this time as the Umpire failed to spot an inside edge. His place in the side is also under threat - a man not good enough to be in the team as a specialist batsman or bowler is always going to be surrounded by questions marks. He should have a place in the limited over game, but Tests are an arena for specialists. Eoin Morgan might just get a game yet.
Cook and Prior have kept England alive in this match and they, plus Graeme Swann, are the only men who can feel remotely pleased with their efforts so far. For Cook it a third hundred in his third Test as captain after his two in Bangladesh as a stand-in for Andrew Strauss. An achievement that has never been done before. If yesterday evening he was positively attacking, scoring 74 in the one session, he reverted to type today, scoring just 96 in three sessions. In Prior he had the perfect foil, providing the support that nobody was able to give him during his first innings 48.
There was a host of quick singles to rotate the strike, an achievement in itself given the stifling heat, and bad balls were put away. The BCCI continue to refuse the use of the DRS system, which helped Cook last night and Prior today when on 61, both from the bowling of Ojha. These two will need to continue their efforts tomorrow for England to save the match. Batting two sessions is a must and stretching the lead to somewhere close to 150 should be enough.
The partnership is reminiscent of another great escape when captain and wicketkeeper batted heroically to save a Test away from home, that was 1995 and the players involved with Michael Atherton and Jack Russell. If they can repeat that feat, and silence the noisy Indian supporters, then this will rank right up there with the great escapes.

How do we compare to our neighbors? Depends on whom you ask
Oct 06, 2009 - 8:45am
You know the drill: Wisconsin's economic strategy just isn't measuring up compared to others.
A July 18th editorial claimed "Wisconsin is struggling." It said Iowa seems to have a better plan. An August 8th column by John Torinus argued, "We get outgunned by states with much larger budgets for economic development." He said Michigan seems to be doing better. On October 3rd, Torinus wrote that Wisconsin was falling behind Illinois and Minnesota. He quoted a UW-Madison expert as stating the state economy is in "very bad shape." Meanwhile, Marc Levine's recent editorial blasts local economic development efforts as being prey to "irrational exuberance."
While that's the tone we're used to, it appears others see our economy and business climate differently. A two-part series (here and here) in the Minneapolis Star Tribune by Thomas Lee details a competition for biotech firms in which Minnesota is clearly the underdog. "When it comes to innovation," Lee states, "Minnesota is quickly falling behind its neighbor."
The articles cite a number of Minnesota-grown biotech start-ups fleeing to Wisconsin, where businesses interviewed claimed they had access to more money, and where organizations like the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation, University Research Park and Accelerate Wisconsin, along with tax incentives and investor capital, create a friendly climate for new ventures. (The Milwaukee County Research Park's Technology Innovation Center uses similar strategies locally.)
Even with a $6.5 billion deficit, the budget passed by Wisconsin legislators increases angel investor tax credits from $5.5 million to $18.25 million and venture capital credits from $6 million to $18.75 million. Minnesota has no comparable tax credits and, while Minnesota does not appear to track angel investors, Wisconsin has 22 angel groups that made 53 deals in 2008.
In the Star Tribune, Wisconsin and its Madison university are compared to Silicon Valley, North Carolina's Research Triangle Park, MIT, and Stanford University and are said to feature "the most formidable university technology transfer program in the country" as well as "the country's most industrial workforce."
The director of business development at a Minneapolis health consulting group explains, "There is a real desire to succeed in Wisconsin. The state has no stodgy culture. It's a culture of newness, a desire to try new things." Another executive gushes, "Wisconsin is a very exciting place. You just get a sense of forward motion. Wisconsin is doing something right."
What are we to make of the contrast in tones between how we see ourselves and how others perceive us? Judging from the above-referenced inter-state economic comparisons, as well as the Public Policy Forum's own analysis of the Minnesota business community's involvement with early childhood education reforms, in some ways, the grass is always greener on the other side. However, that does not change the fact that comparison with other states is an important tool for seeing one's own state – its problem areas and its strengths – in sharper focus.

Delilah was born with movement issues and unable to feed, is tube fed and cannot to walk. After extensive tests she is still undiagnosed and is under the care of Great Ormond Street Hospital. Delilah is just like any other child, she is bright as a button and wants to take part in everything and not have to be carried around. She needed a self-propelled wheelchair to give her the freedom to play with friends and not be left behind. Our charity partner Urban Guild organised a fantastic fundraising evening, their staff worked for free, and their suppliers donated the food and drink and over 100 people attended. The evening raised over £3,600 and we decided to put it towards Delilah's wheelchair.

Oh man, my husband bought me a magnifying mirror! Now I can see all my flaws UP CLOSE!
We sure know how to overthink don't we?
Maybe what we need to look at closely is our heart. It is the condition of our heart that is most important.
Let me say prayer is good and listening to good music is good, but what is best is surrendering to God through His Word, and letting Him SPEAK to you there.
His love will change and inspire you. It will fulfill you and give you peace and love that cannot be natural but rather supernatural..
does that mean we will never be upset?
It means when the Spirit of God whispers to you, You know His voice and you follow.

There is no age limit: babies can wear them, and so can seniors. Many eye care professionals begin to encourage contact lens wear at age 11 to 14.
The real issue for teens is not age, but whether they are responsible enough to wear and care for contact lenses properly. Parents, teens, and their eye care practitioner must make this decision together.
Why not just wear eyeglasses?
Teens are self-conscious, and they often feel more attractive and accepted if they don't have a pair of eyeglasses in front of their eyes. Contact lenses may help a teenager feel greater self-esteem and more at ease around others. Contacts also offer advantages for active teens who play sports.
How much care do contact lenses require?
Cleaning regimens are easier than ever. Most people use just one bottle of multi-purpose solution and a case. One type of contact lens — daily disposable lenses — doesn't need a cleaning regimen at all. You simply discard the lenses when you remove them at the end of each day. For this reason, daily disposable contacts such as clariti 1 day are a great choice for most teens.
For contacts that do require care, many eye care practitioners report that teens and children are more diligent about cleaning their contact lenses than are adults, who after years of wearing them often become more casual about lens care. And young people often are more careful about following directions from a medical professional.
Do you need a prescription to get contacts?
Yes. The Food and Drug Administration classifies contact lenses as a medical device. Contacts must fit properly on the eye — if they don't, serious eye health issues can result. That's why they must be fitted by an eye care practitioner, who will write a prescription for the proper size, shape, power, and brand of lenses.
By law, you need a prescription in order to purchase contact lenses. This is true even if your contacts have no vision correction in them, such as some color contacts or special-effect contacts.
A contact lens fitting is painless and can even be fun. It often can be done in conjunction with a regular eye exam.
Are contact lenses more or less expensive than glasses?
It's impossible to generalize about cost. As with eyeglasses, the cost of contact lenses varies widely, depending on the brand, the prescription, and how often the lenses are replaced. You can always call your eye care practitioner and ask for a price range. You should also take into account the cost of cleaning supplies and a storage case, plus the fact that a backup pair of eyeglasses is recommended.
Daily disposable contacts are a special case, because they don't require any cleaning supplies or containers. It depends on the brand and the supplier, but daily disposables can cost as little as $1 per day, making them affordable for most people.
What if a lens gets lost or torn?
Make sure you discuss with your eye doctor what you can do to replace a contact lens that has been torn, damaged or lost. If you wear disposable contacts, you don't have the expense or inconvenience of worrying about a replacement because you'll already have a supply of lenses on hand.
Modern contact lenses are designed to be very comfortable. Most are made of a soft material that is hardly noticeable, if at all, once the lenses are placed on the eyes. Eye care practitioners have very sophisticated tools for measuring the eyes and making sure the lenses fit well.
Contacts can become uncomfortable over time if they accumulate dirt or allergens that stick to the them. Proper care and cleaning normally prevents this. Another way to prevent debris accumulation on the lenses is to choose a daily disposable such as clariti 1 day. Since the lenses are discarded at the end of the day, not much debris will accumulate.
Is it difficult to put contact lenses on?
Some people wonder if it will hurt to apply contact lenses to their eyes for the first time. The fear is understandable, and it's related to the reluctance they may have to touch their eyes. But after learning how to insert and remove their lenses, most people find it's comfortable and easy to do.
For teens, contact lenses may be safer than eyeglasses in many situations. Unlike glasses, they are unlikely to be damaged during football, basketball, and other sports. Plus, if a sport requires safety goggles or a ski mask, it is more convenient and comfortable to wear them over contact lenses than over eyeglasses.
Generally, contact lenses are very safe if cared for properly. Your teen shouldn't swap lenses with friends or wear them longer than prescribed, and regular eye exams are important. Remember: if at any time your eyes don't look good, feel good or see well — see your doctor.
Can a contact lens get stuck behind the eye?
No need to worry. A thin, clear tissue called the conjunctiva lines the inner surface of the eyelids and folds back onto the front surface of the eye. So it's impossible for a contact lens (or anything else) to get stuck behind the eye.
What about color and special effect contact lenses?
These lenses are fun and safe as long as they are properly fitted and prescribed by an eye care practitioner. Never buy them online, at a beauty parlor, swap meet, convenience store or anywhere else without a prescription. Any retailer who tries to sell you contact lenses without a valid prescription from an eye doctor iis operating outside of the law and doesn't care about the safety of your eyes.
Remember that if cosmetic contacts are worn only occasionally, they need to be properly stored and disinfected between wearing.
Is it OK to try on a friend's contact lenses?
No, not even if the lenses have no vision correction in them. Dangerous microorganisms that cause serious eye infections can be passed along that way. Many eye doctors will provide a free trial pair of contact lenses so your teen can see how lenses look and feel before deciding whether or not to wear contacts.
Is it okay to sleep in contacts?
Not all contact lenses are designed for overnight wear. Further, not everyone's eyes can adapt to this, even when using the proper lenses. Only an eye care practitioner can judge whether someone is a good candidate to wear contacts overnight, and no one should try this unless their eye care practitioner says it's okay.
Even for ideal candidates, wearing contact lenses overnight increases the risk of eye problems to some degree. The healthiest way to wear contacts is to remove and discard them every night.

Tech Noir: The Art of James Cameron (Hardcover)
By James Cameron, Guillermo del Toro (Foreword by)
Not In Store / Available To Order (allow for shipping time to bookstore or direct-to-home)
Explore the creative evolution of James Cameron through this exclusive journey into his personal art archives, showcasing a range of rare and never-before-seen works from the acclaimed director's private collection.
James Cameron has blazed a trail through the cinematic landscape with a series of groundbreaking films that have each become deeply embedded in the popular imagination. But while Cameron has created and employed advanced filmmaking technologies to realize his unique vision, his process of creative ideation began with pen, pencil, and paints long before he picked up a camera.
Cameron displayed remarkable ability at an early age, filling sketchbooks with illustrations of alien creatures, faraway worlds, and technological wonders. As he grew older, his art became increasingly sophisticated, exploring major themes that would imbue his later work—from the threat of nuclear catastrophe to the dangers inherent in the development of artificial intelligence. Working in the film industry in his twenties, Cameron supported himself by illustrating theatrical posters and concept art for low-budget films before creating the visionary concept pieces that would help greenlight his first feature, The Terminator.
For the first time, Tech Noir brings together a dazzling and diverse array of personal and commercial art from Cameron's own collection, showcasing the trajectory of ideas that led to such modern classics as The Terminator, Aliens, Titanic, and Avatar. Including everything from his earliest sketches through to unrealized projects and his acclaimed later work, this book features the filmmaker's personal commentary on his creative and artistic evolution throughout the years.
A unique journey into the mind of a creative powerhouse, Tech Noir is the ultimate exploration of one of cinema's most imaginative innovators.
James Cameron is an acclaimed filmmaker and explorer. As a writer, director, and producer he is responsible for some of the most memorable films of the past three decades: The Terminator, Aliens, The Abyss, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, True Lies, Titanic, and Avatar. He is currently in production on the Avatar sequels.
Guillermo del Toro is the acclaimed director of The Shape of Water, Pan's Labyrinth, Pacific Rim, and Crimson Peak. His Strain novels are international best sellers. He lives in Los Angeles with his wife, kids, dog, cat, and rat.
