83 – Cincinnati Ghosts: The Official Paranormal Team of Bobby Mackey's Music World
March 14, 2016 Mike Huberty	1 Comment
http://traffic.libsyn.com/othersidepodcast/SYOTOS-83.mp3
This week, Wendy and I are traveling through the country stopping at haunted sites and playing music and on Saturday we stopped in Cincinnati. It was a lot of fun and we're doing it all this week, so check out the dates right here at http://www.othersidepodcast.com/tour!
And speaking of Cincinnati, our guests this week are the fine ladies of Gatekeeper Paranormal, who are the official paranormal team of Bobby Mackey's Music World (keep reading to hear about one ofd its most famous ghost stories). I talk with lead investigator Kim Short and co-founder Laura Roland and you'll hear all about their adventure's at Bobby Mackey's.
If you don't have time to listen to the whole podcast, here's 4 quick haunted stories of Cincinnati ghosts to tide you over!
Mike and Wendy in front of Cincinnati Music Hall
1. Cincinnati Music Hall
Cincinnati Music Hall is a place where you can see some really messed up stuff. from flying Norse gods to Italian lovers being dragged to Hell, opera loves to turn up the crazy.
Originally this was the site of a Potter's Field which is a graveyard for the poor or people without families, like those who died at the nearby Cincinnati Commercial Hospital and Lunatic Asylum, or the place on 12th and Elm that was a home for orphans before it became known as the "pest house" because it's where they kept patients with infectious diseases.
Because you don't use coffins in a potter's field, bones will often churn out of the ground whenever renovations are done here, like they did in 1960 and 1988.
Since then, some patrons of the hall have seen strange figures waving at them from the other side of the hall only to disappear when they look away for a second. People have also heard a music box play a song called "Let Me Call You Sweetheart" when there are no music boxes around.
Roger Krebs, who worked on the maintenance crew for almost two decades has said that he has heard piano playing when there's no one else in the hall, closed doors open on their own, and a floor buffer that mysteriously turns on and off for no reason. Cincinnati paranormal groups have also reported a freight elevator that has stopped at the wrong floors for no reason and the doors behaving erratically during investigations.
2. Union Terminal
Union Terminal is now a museum and a mall, but in the twilight years of the railroad it was one of the busiest places in the city. Train stations are usually rife with paranormal stories, whether it's lovers saying their last goodbye as a soldier goes off to war or a family coming back together after a long separation, it's a place of strong emotion. And sometimes those emotions stick around after the physical bodies have gone.
In September of 1989, a criminal named Thomas Haynes killed a security guard, Shirley Baker, while robbing the Union Terminal and it's her ghost that some people have seen still patrolling the halls. People have heard her rattling the doorknobs and checking the locks when there is no one else present and some members of the cleaning crew won't go into certain areas of the mall alone.
And that's the weirdest thing. after all, what's to be afraid of? Shirley is just dedicated to her job, still protecting the mall decades after her final shift has ended!
3. Bobby Mackey's Music World
This music venue and bar in Wilder, Kentucky, bills itself as the "Most Haunted Nightclub in America". is it the most haunted? I don't know that anyone is keeping score, but it got Bobby Mackey a slot on not only Jerry Springer but also Geraldo, and when you can do that without making love to a family member, that means something.
So, the romantic legend of Bobby Mackey's comes from the 1950s, when the club was mob-affiliated and known as "The Latin Quarter", a dancer by the name of johanna had fallen in love with a singer at the club by the name of Robert Randall. According to the legend, Robert got her pregnant and her mobster father ended up hanging Robert in the dressing room. Johanna, so distraught by her lover's murder at the hands of her father, took her own life at the club by poisoning herself.
Patrons of Bobby Mackey's will sometimes see a woman dressed in a 1950s outfit or they'll hear a woman's voice in the club when there's no one around. that's the ghost that they think is Johanna.
Bobby Mackey himself wrote a song about Johanna and here's some of the lyrics:
Now today it's a different place
Or the same with a new face
With strange mysteries hangin' in the air
People in their sane minds swear they see you today
4. The Tale of Tiny Town
Here's a great urban legend about a town right north of Cincinnati by Mount Rumpke. It was said that there was a village of tiny houses around there at a place called the handlebar ranch. in those tiny houses was said to live a large population of retired circus dwarves. seriously.
Having been laughed at and made fun of all of their lives in the circus, they shun the rest of society, so that when you visited Tiny Town, they would throw rocks at you and yell at you to leave. And the kicker of course, is that you knew you were in the right place when you could hear the circus music!(?)
Of course, this story is ridiculous, but not completely crazy. Anna and Percy Ritter Who owned the Handlebar Ranch, had a hayride business there and did have a collection of small buildings on the property that the hayrides could look at. There were also some old school bells that Percy salvaged and sometimes kids would sneak onto the property and ring the bells in the middle of the night.
As to the collection of circus dwarves? well, Anna Ritter was only 5'3 but no one knows exactly where that story came from, so people think that the small houses in the village are what contributed to that story, no matter that there were actually no little people there.
This week's song is an old Sunspot chestnut that fits well into an episode about Bobby Mackey's. Our track, "Meat Market" was recorded in 1998 and it's originally a track about hook-up culture in college bars. But since Bobby Mackey's is reputedly a former slaughterhouse and Johanna was a dancer who hooked up at the club, well we thought it might be the perfect song for this episode.
Here's an ancient video of us in the studio recording it and here's another Queen City connection, I'm wearing a Hustler shirt (given to me by my college buddy from Cincinnati whose uncle was one of Larry Flynt's lawyers!)
Going down to the Meat Market,
I'm looking for the first one,
that looks my way.
Take me to the Meat Market,
When it's two o'clock in the morning,
I'm not picky.
It's all the same to me.
We're not looking for an answer.
We don't care what we find,
We'll say anything that we can,
to get what we want tonight.
This hunting ground is a sleazy dive,
where deperate people lead desperate lives.
All we do is live to survive,
I said to her as she looked in my eyes.
Is she staring at my face?
Is she looking at my ass?
Can she find her knight in shining armor,
through the bottom of a glass?
We'll say anything that we want,
One more trip to the Meat Market.
You're looking for Prince Charming,
to break your heart.
Take me to the Meat Market.
The All-American Girl is a porno star.
A porno star,
if it's all the same to you,
then it's all the same to me.
We're not looking for forever,
we don't care what you think.
We're just a bunch of primates,
that know how to mix a drink.
They say true love waits,
at least until last call.
We're all porno stars in a meat market,
Hearts pumping alcohol.

Research Europe Perspectives on the Future of the EU
Perspectives on the Future of the EU
What are the prospects for legitimacy and democracy in the EU? What is the status of common values inside the Union and how does that affect the EU's global role?
The Swedish Institute of International Affairs (UI) and the Swedish Institute for European Policy Studies (SIEPS) have published a joint anthology to stimulate further discussion about the future of European integration.
In this volume, five leading European scholars go beyond policy issues to focus on the future of the EU as a political system. At the heart of their contributions are the prospects for legitimacy and democracy in the union:
Christopher J. Bickerton sees the main challenge in balancing European integration and national democracy, while Ulrike Guérot envisions a legitimacy where one person equals one vote for the whole of the union. Ivan Krastev sees the main challenge in the East no longer wanting to imitate the West and warns against fatalism, whereas Almut Möller finds an opportunity for diplomatic relationships across EU capitals, especially where there is conflict. If differentiated integration might hold the key to the future is finally discussed by Frank Schimmelfennig.
With these different and sometimes opposing perspectives, the aim is to shed light on where the European Union might – or should – be heading.
The authors originally presented their contributions in the winter of 2018/2019, in a series of lectures:
Almut Möller: January Who leads the EU?
Ivan Krastev: Order in and beyond Europe
Chris J. Bickerton and Ulrike Guérot:
Democracy and legitimacy in the EU - National or European?
Frank Schimmelfennig: Is differentiated integration driving the EU apart?

Beautiful graphics but not really made for a gamepad. Too fast!
I'm sad this game didn't catch on the way I think it should have... everyone was on the Gears bandwagon at the time, but honestly I had more fun with this Epic title.
this game is great...Even after all this years it's never gets old...i'll keep this one in my collection for a long time.
I picked it up just recently for under $9 used. The split screen helps for coop deathmatch, which isn't that common this generation. I did have it prior on the PS3.
Now that the online community is pretty much dead this version is useless. Wish I had a better PC for this game.
How's the split-screen working out? I wish they'd add it to the ps3 version. It boggles my mind why no one plays this game online but people will play GTA4 - the worst online experience possible.

Willows are primarily found grown in moist soils in cold and temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. The ease with which willow grows and its flexibility makes it an ideal material to create simple structures that are easy to construct.
During this workshop, a dome shaped structure was constructed using solely willow and a few simple tools. Initially a primary structure was formed using thicker freshly cut willow rods that were interwoven into the desired shape. The overlapping willows were secured using thinner willow, interlaced using basket making techniques. The structure was gradually built up by interweaving further willows around the circumference of the dome, tied together using similar techniques with the thinner willow.
Willow sculptures are unique as they 'living' structures; they continue to change size (by growing), change colour and texture (leaf growth/fall, bare winter skeleton/leafy summer mass) and encourage wildlife.

Developing a more useful surface quality metric for laser optics (Photonics West, Jan., 2011)REO Inc.
This paper reviews the limitations of traditional surface quality inspection techniques, and explores the use of a quantitative inspection method based on a microscope, calibrated lighting, a CCD detector and image processing software.
Light scatter due to surface defects on laser resonator optics produces losses which lower system efficiency and output power. The traditional methodology for surface quality inspection involves visual comparison of a component to scratch and dig (SAD) standards under controlled lighting and viewing conditions. Unfortunately, this process is subjective and operator dependent. Also, there is no clear correlation between inspection results and the actual performance impact of the optic in a laser resonator. As a result, laser manufacturers often overspecify surface quality in order to ensure that optics will not degrade laser performance due to scatter. This can drive up component costs and lengthen lead times. Alternatively, an objective test system for measuring optical scatter from defects can be constructed with a microscope, calibrated lighting, a CCD detector and image processing software. This approach is quantitative, highly repeatable and totally operator independent. Furthermore, it is flexible, allowing the user to set threshold levels as to what will or will not constitute a defect. This paper details how this automated, quantitative type of surface quality measurement can be constructed, and shows how its results correlate against conventional loss measurement techniques such as cavity ringdown times.

Newcastle United goalkeeper Freddie Woodman is likely to depart on loan this summer after helping England's Under-21s side win the Toulon Tournament, according to a report.
The Chronicle claims that the 21-year-old is the fourth-choice option in goal at St James' Park moving into next year, which is why his departure seems likely.
It is understood that the Magpies are prepared to sanction his temporary exit and the in-demand shot-stopper has a wealth of interest in him.
The report details that three League One teams, one Championship side and two Scottish Premiership teams are willing to offer him the role of number one next season with them.
Woodman is now set to go on holiday and will discuss his future plans with manager Rafael Benitez when he returns in July.
It makes perfect sense to send Woodman out on loan for another spell and they should prioritise sending him to the Championship, where he would be put to a real stiff test. The English shot-stopper is being tipped to become a future starter at St James' Park and aged 21 he still has his future ahead of him. He has previously impressed on loan with Scottish duo Kilmarnock and Aberdeen, but turning in consistent displays at Championship level should be a better springboard for him to the Newcastle first team. He is a 6ft 2in (source: Transfermarkt) colossus that will benefit more from a season in England's second-tier and will hope to be representing the senior Three Lions teams in the future. Newcastle are well stocked in goal ahead of next campaign, where Rob Elliot and Karl Darlow look set to battle it out for number two behind Martin Dubravka.

Tim Hortons rolling up the rim to win over China
By Atlantic Institute for Market Studies on July 13, 2018 No Comment
The decision to export the Canadian corporate icon is a very aggressive global extension strategy that could pay off
Tim Hortons is going where the growth is: China.
The Canadian institution announced it will expand its portfolio of 4,700 restaurants by signing a joint venture partnership with a Chinese-based equity firm.
Tim Hortons has locations in the United States, the Arab Emirates, the Philippines and the United Kingdom. And it intends to open 1,500 new restaurants in China in the next decade. By 2028, almost a quarter of Tim Hortons restaurants will be in China.
Cartesian Capital, the equity firm partnering with Tim Hortons, worked with Timmy's parent company, Restaurant Brands International (RBI), in an expansion of the Burger King franchise into China more than a decade ago. Burger King now has more than 1,000 restaurants in China.
Over the years, the Chinese-Canadian community has embraced Timmy's menu, which is a result of their familiarity with its place in the country's culture.
In China, the majority of the population may only vaguely understand the appeal of hockey, never mind the allure of Timbits and Salted Caramel Iced Capps. Burger King has been successful thanks to the directness of its name. It will be interesting to see what kind of brand and menu adjustments RBI will make as it works to adapt the namesake of a legendary National Hockey League defenceman to the Chinese market, without betraying Timmy's deep Canadian roots.
Starbucks has already infiltrated the Chinese market, boasting more than 2,800 locations. Thanks to the Starbucks effect, the demand for coffee in China is up more than 15 per cent.
In Canada, growth is minimal, even though more than 71 per cent of Canadians over the age of 18 drink café daily, compared to 67 per cent who regularly drink water.
Coffee is much trendier in China, as the country prospers from rapid urbanization, a growing middle class and rising incomes. Once the republic's favourite drink, tea is slowly giving way to its roasted rival. While coffee is increasingly consumed outside the home, tea remains a traditional, domestic favourite.
Tim Hortons' legacy in Canada lies in convincing Canadians to consume coffee somewhere other than at home. However, in these past few years an increasing number of Caucasian Canadians are preparing coffee themselves. The trend for Asian Canadians is the opposite. For marketers, this shift represents the golden goose. RBI understands that once a certain level of wealth is achieved and disposable income increases, coffee-related behaviours will change.
To grow the chain in China, RBI must accept that the benchmark for success is Starbucks. After 50 years of business and community building, Tim Hortons became the benchmark in Canada. The advantage Tim Hortons has over Starbucks in China is its middle-of-the-road approach to coffee. To convince someone who traditionally drinks simple tea to switch to a decadent Starbucks Frappuccino presents a significant challenge. Tim Hortons can slip in between current Chinese habits and the representation of an idealistic western way of life. Its menu will need be tweaked, of course – potatoes wedges and steak wraps will likely not be crowd pleasers, at least initially.
Tim Hortons' move to China is clearly a natural for a chain searching for a new identity in new territories. With deep roots in Canada and an American flair to its management, Timmy's could emerge as a global coffee player in the next decade.
Its status as a cultural icon in the Canadian market was well established before RBI's purchase of the chain in 2014.
While Canada is mainly known for its homegrown commodities such as canola and maple syrup, Tim Hortons' entrée into China could bring Canadian culture into an entirely new and bourgeoning market. Success could reap dividends for many other sectors as well, especially in China. It also gives international exposure to our cultural values, beliefs and way of life.
Timmy's may have to create promotions other than Roll Up the Rim to Win. Mandarin- or Cantonese-speaking customers may find such a tongue-twisting slogan difficult. But perhaps the taste of a double-double will ease the transition.

What should runners do when a dog attacks?
On behalf of Simon & Gilman, LLP posted in Personal Injury on Friday, September 28, 2018.
When dogs are not properly restrained, they can be a serious threat to runners and joggers all over New York. Many dogs see people running and want to give chase, either because they feel threatened or because the quick movement naturally makes them feel like the person is prey. Either way, they do chase and they do bite. This happens to thousands of people every year.
What are the leading types of construction site accidents?
On behalf of Simon & Gilman, LLP posted in Personal Injury on Friday, September 21, 2018.
The 2,100 inspectors that work for the federal Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) keep a watchful eye over more than eight million work sites across the United States. These locations employ as many as 130 million workers. This means that the inspector-to-worker ratio is just shy of 60,000. The federal government maintains 85 local and 10 regional OSHA offices across the country.

There are many different reasons why someone in New York might want to change their name. Perhaps you received a family name, and you find it both unoriginal and embarrassing. Maybe your parents chose something so unique that no one can spell it or pronounce it.
On behalf of Simon & Gilman, LLP on Monday, September 10, 2018.
There is no doubt that construction workers in New York face many on-the-job dangers every day. From scaffolding accidents to power tool injuries, there is always some hazard lurking in and around a job site.

Should I hand register domain names today as an investor?
The simple answer is yes, you CAN hand register domain names today! More detailed answer is that 99.99% of today's domain name registrations are horrible and terrible.
Majority of domain name investors are losing money with hand registered domain names in the hope of making that one jackpot of domain name sale in order to recover most of their investment. However, we also have certain section of domain name investors AKA domainers with a more streamlined and proven strategies who are minting money with hand registered domain names in a certain niche.
If I am hand-registering or acquiring (from aftermarket) a domain name today, It will normally be GEO+ComercialKeyword or an Emerging Future Technology related keywords in .COM extension (TLD).
I'll also perform the following few steps in order to figure out whether the domain name in question has any worth, and stands a chance to be sold for profit at later date.
English formation and commercial viability (market acceptability) should make sense for, in the keywords.
Perform Google Search to figure out your general audience for the keywords in the domain name.
Google search again with inverted commas ("keyword") to know and compile a list of your endusers for the keywords or niche of your domain name.
Perform LinkedIN search to figure out how many companies or professional entities are using your keywords as their company name. This action helps substantiate your domain name registration or acquisition.
These are just some basic and initial steps which help in deciding whether I should hand register or acquire a domain name. If I'm still not sure, I'll enhance my research with other social media and commercial platforms to be double sure of the possibilities.
Helpful Tip: Stay up to date on latest news, especially on emerging technology and products. There are endless opportunities to hand-register domains that will become valuable in the future (Example: Crypto.com, CryptoGames.com, PodTaxi.com, Vapes.com, MagicVapes.com etc). Try to combine popular or trending keywords, for example: MagicVapes.com. (The Vape industry is a booming market, and brand names starting with "Magic" could get popular or use some other popular keyword).
Statutory Warning: Don't expect to sell a hand-registered domain name after few days or months. If it was available for registration, there is a reason behind it! (hint: nobody else wanted it). You have to be patient and probably identify endusers for your hand registered domain name.


The Universal is a small bar focusing on craft beers, cocktails and an imaginative food menu. Located in the Westend district of Galway City it compliments the alternative nature of the area with its beautifully crafted interior and unique drinks menu.
It opened in 2016 in a premises that was previously called the Old Forge and could scarcely have been more different. The interior has clearly benefited from some well thought out design with every bit of space being utilised. The result is a comfortable stylish bar with its very own distinctive style.
The food menu is varied but definitely adventurous with something in most prices brackets. The beers are as you would expect but those who prefer the staples such as Heineken and Carlsberg will not find them here.
The Cocktails seem to be a passion with an ever changing lineup of new drinks to try.


It's the weekend and you are relaxing after a long tiresome week, then as you drive by you see the number 177. You then remember you encountered it at the grocery store when you went to buy some veggies, at the cafeteria when you were on your lunch break. You wonder what has crossed your path to make you come across this particular angel number. The universe is communicating to you through your angel and this is what you are being told.
The message from angel number 177 is for you to be self reliant, scrutinize yourself more before embarking on any decisions. Have a better understanding of the people around you. Your arch angel is guiding you in your life's endeavors.
In angel number 177, the message from number one is telling you to depend on yourself more. Being self reliant is the best thing ever. Because it reduces the chances of you being disappointed by other people because they let you down. Being self sufficient means you do your own things at your own time in your own speed. Once you achieve success the satisfaction that you get inside is immeasurable. Not being disappointed by other people because they didn't meet your expectations means you are more happy and satisfied with the achievements you have accomplished.
The message from the first number 7 is deep reflection. Think things through before you embark on any action. If you rush into something you will not be satisfied with the end results. Be insistent when you want to get things done this will show the seriousness and the commitment you have towards accomplishing your goal. Be accommodating of the views of others this will bring forth your understanding nature.
The other message from number 7 is that you must know how to overcome challenges to be able to reap good fruits.
Angel number 177 meaning shows that nothing comes easy because if it would have been easy to achieve your goals then you would not appreciate the sacrifices and the input you had to put in for you to succeed. Be able to make the right decisions for you to be able to withstand the consequences.
!!! what does this all mean?? Not the numbers I keep noticing and the meaning of them , but why me? For what reason? why am I picked? why am I get these messages? 222, 444, then 77 and now 177.. It will go on for a week or two and ill look into these numbers and they have been about my thoughts and my feelings, my doubts and my fears, my disappointments, my inner struggles, 100%-=spot on=.. Why am I getting these? What am I, to receive them?
These numbers are your guide to prepare you for something better. Trust the messages and meanings! All worked for me in the past and still working for me now.

3M to phase out production and sale of 'forever chemicals' by 20205
Manufacturing giant 3M has pledged to stop producing and selling poly fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly known as 'forever chemicals', within the next three years.

The State of California is currently suing 3M, plus 17 other firms, for damages relating to PFAS contamination in the environment
The business announced on Tuesday (20 December) that it has set the commitment to exit all PFAS manufacturing by the end of 2025 ater a "thorough evaluation of the evolving external landscape, including… regulatory trends focused on reducing or eliminating the presence of PFAS in the environment". It claims it has already been reducing its PFAS use over the past three years.
PFAS are known as forever chemicals because they do not break down quickly. This makes them attractive to manufacturers seeking to make durable products, including materials and coatings that are water-resistant, adhesive, and/or stain-resistant. Concern has been growing in recent years about the impact of these chemicals when they contaminate drinking water, soils and food chains.
The world's first law setting out a ban on producing and selling any PFAS, or products containing these chemicals, was introduced in Maine, US, last year. It will be phased in through to 2030. Subsequently, an Act setting out a forthcoming ban on food containers containing PFAs across the entire US was introduced to the Senate in late 2021.
The EU has also been undertaking a series of steps to remove certain kinds of PFAS from certain products, with debates on removing them from fire extinguishing foams ongoing this year. Some EU member states, including Germany, Sweden, Denmark, Norway and the Netherlands, have signalled an intent to go further and faster and to advocate for an outright ban across the bloc.
3M has noted that, as well as changes to legislation and regulation, it has considered the environmental impacts of stakeholders including investors. Within the last few weeks, Aviva Investors and Storebrand Asset Management convened industry peers collectively managing $8trn to call on chemical businesses to disclose their PFAS volumes and set out plans for a phase-out.
3M's commitment will impact products that generate approximately $1.3bn in value annually for the company, which produces goods including paints and coatings, paper, adhesives and laminates, dental products, beverage filtration solutions. 3M has stated that it will facilitate existing contractual obligations as the phase-out continues, and provide customers with updated product use advice as part of an "orderly transition".
"While PFAS can be safely made and used, we also see an opportunity to lead in a rapidly evolving external regulatory and business landscape to make the greatest impact for those we serve," said 3M's chair and chief executive Mike Roman.
A statement from the business added that all products are, in their current form, "safe for their intended uses".
Nonetheless, the impacts of 3M's operations and supply chain on the environment, including PFAS Impacts, have been the subject of several major legal challenges over the years. Most recently, the state of California sued 3M and 17 other companies over PFAS contamination, seeking damages plus funds for environmental monitoring and chemical disposal infrastructure. Bloomberg Intelligence estimates that long-term legal liabilities relating to PFAS could exceed $30m.

But I want to do something like this:

        {{ row.status }}

        {{ row.date }}

        {{ row.user }}

        {{ row.rating }}

{% endfor %}

Also it would be great If I could order by values, so users can order results by date or by rating

A: In your view function do this.
...
csv_dict = {rows[0]:rows[1] for rows in pre_reader}
args['csv_dict'] = csv_dict
...

Then you will have a dict in your template that you can reorder using regroup tag. https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/templates/builtins/#regroup

A: You can use something like {{row.0}}, see Variables and lookups, just change your template to
template.html:

{% for row in list %}

        {{ row.0 }}

        {{ row.1 }}

        {{ row.2 }}

        {{ row.3 }}

Climate Science and Atmospheric Chemistry Traveling Trunk Undergoes Major Expansion
In early Spring, the Climate Science Alliance was excited to partner once again with the NSF Center for Aerosol Impacts on Chemistry of the Environment (CAICE) to expand the Climate Science and Atmospheric Chemistry Traveling Trunk to ten CAICE locations on campuses throughout the United States!
In early Spring, the Climate Science Alliance was excited to partner once again with the NSF Center for Aerosol Impacts on Chemistry of the Environment (CAICE) to expand the Climate Science and Atmospheric Chemistry Traveling Trunk program to ten CAICE locations on university campuses throughout the United States!
This trunk brings to life aerosols - one of the most poorly understood components of Earth's atmosphere - and their impact on our lives and the changing climate, while inspiring and encouraging students to do their part to help protect the earth. Through science, art, and storytelling activities, students will gain an understanding of the current science behind atmospheric chemistry, the impact of aerosols on climate and public health, and how scientists are working to better understand the issues that we face at the intersection of these topics.
Climate Kids Traveling Trunks provide resources educators need to teach climate science in the classroom. Each trunk includes background information, lesson plans, powerpoints, activities, and materials to increase climate literacy for K-12th grade youth. Climate Kids trunks feature interactive and hands on science, storytelling and art curriculum aligned to Next Generation Science Standards.
With the help of CAICE graduate students at UC San Diego in early March, the Climate Science Alliance was able to create ten new trunks, which will be sent to ten CAICE locations on university campuses throughout the United States.
Note: The Traveling Trunks were assembled in early March of 2020, before the COVID-19 pandemic. Both the CAICE and Climate Science Alliance teams are excited to send these Traveling Trunks to campuses when appropriate and safe to do so. Stay tuned for updates!
About CAICE: The NSF Center for Aerosol Impacts on Chemistry of the Environment (CAICE) focuses on improving our understanding of how aerosol particles impact the environment, air quality, and climate. Led by Dr. Kimberly Prather, UC San Diego Distinguished Chair in Atmospheric Chemistry, the Center's goal is to understand critical details regarding the chemistry of aerosols.
CAICE tackles the grand challenge of elucidating how the chemical complexity of atmospheric aerosol particles impacts our atmosphere and climate. One important type of aerosol, sea spray, has tremendous chemical variability depending on ocean chemistry, biology, and physical factors such as waves and wind. CAICE has established a unique ocean-atmosphere interaction facility that replicates natural sea spray aerosol in a controlled setting, allowing for detailed fundamental studies of aerosol reactions.
CAICE has assembled an interdisciplinary team of scientists to accomplish this task: atmospheric, physical, biochemistry, analytical, and organic chemists, along with oceanographers and marine biologists. In addition to conducting innovative research, the CAICE team is dedicated to improving science education and impacting the public through outreach.
The Climate Science Alliance is excited to continue to build our strong partnership with CAICE to support their education and outreach efforts and unite Climate Kids programming with the topic of Atmospheric Chemistry and Aerosols.

The news that Johnny D's would be shutting its doors in February had not fully sunk in for several of its bartenders Tuesday night.
While sitting on a bar stool and with blues music blaring in the background, Sarah Kelleher became teary-eyed when asked what the famed Davis Square music club meant to her.
The news that Johnny D's would be shutting its doors in February had not fully sunk in for several of its bartenders Tuesday night.
Kelleher said she landed a job at Johnny D's immediately after moving to Somerville 18 months ago.
The bartender behind the bar then started wiping away tears as she served a customer.
"Everyone who works here, its become our home," said their colleague Brittany Roy.
Owner Carla DeLellis announced the decision to close the 47-year-old music venue in a letter posted on Facebook and the Johnny D's website Monday. She told the Journal the decision was due to a combination of a changing live music landscape, a hot Davis Square real estate market, the strain of owning a business, and other personal factors.
Over the years, Johnny D's Uptown Restaurant and Music Club has featured big names like Neil Young, Booker T. Jones, the Dixie Chicks, and Alison Krauss and little-known local bands like the cover disco band Booty Vortex, DeLellis said. It has also helped launch the careers of popular bands like Guster, she said.
The announcement comes just days before another famed area music club, Central Square's T.T. the Bear's Place, closes its doors as well. DeLellis said independently owned music venues once dominated the live music landscape in Boston. But that landscape is changing with many artists favoring venues owned by multinational organizations over independently owned venues like Johnny D's, she said.
And the housing demand in Davis Square has grown significantly over the past 47 years. City assessors valued the 17 to 27 Holland St. property at about $1.1 million. She said she has plans to next year turn the one-story building into a four-story building, with at least two stories devoted to residential units and the first floor, possibly second floor, devoted to commercial space of some kind. She said the commercial space won't be another music venue since residents would be living upstairs but is considering the possibly of bringing in a grocery store.
"It's time for a change in my life and the timing is everything as they say, so I thought it was an important state in my life with my family and personal goals. It was a good market to develop the property," DeLellis said.
She said she has no idea what she will be doing after Johnny D's closes. She said she will continue her work with local organizations like the Somerville Homeless Coalition and the local business advocacy non-profit Somerville Local First. She also plans on moving into one of her new housing units.
Last month, supermarket giant Roche Brothers backed out of plans to bring a store to 240 Elm St. in Davis Square after the wall of the building it was going to move into was found unsound and in danger of falling onto the street.
"I'm not going anywhere, just Johnny D's is going to pass the torch to some of the other music clubs that are giving it a great go," DeLellis said.
But she knows there are a lot of people who have memories of Johnny D's, not just for the music but for the food, especially brunch. DeLellis said there are some regular patrons who have been getting brunch there for more than 20 years.
On Tuesday night, Moscow resident Sardar Shokatayev sat at Johnny D's bar next to his old roommate David Howard. Shokatayev was visiting Somerville for the first time in eight years and got a sense of nostalgia after seeing the Johnny D's sign when he first stepped out of the Redline station.
"The place was so familiar. It was still here. It felt like home," he said.
So until Johnny D's closes for good sometime in February, the next six-plus months will be devoted to celebrating the club's past. DeLellis said she plans on inviting back bands and artists that have performed at the club over the years.
In her letter on Facebook, DeLellis urged residents to support local businesses and to help her send the club off right.

Our Global Projects >
Armed conflict and a weak government allow slavery to flourish in eastern Congo. Forced labor and sex slavery are widespread in mining regions—as is forced marriage. Our teams work within communities to uncover the extent of slavery and to find ways to end it.

Slavery in the Congo
Slavery in 'Conflict Minerals'
The Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC or Congo) is rich in resources that make modern life possible—minerals used by industrialized nations in manufacturing, jewelry, and many other industries. Gold and the "Three Ts" (tin, tungsten, tantalum) are used in everything from cars to medical devices, household goods to high-tech electronics.
Mineral resources have the potential to help the DRC's economy expand and diversify. But instead, much of the profit benefits groups engaged in armed conflict. Ore mined by slaves is smuggled into global supply chains for metals, tainting products we use every day.
Slave labor fuels the fighting and prevents residents from building better lives…
Militias round up villagers at gunpoint and force them to work.
False criminal charges are levied against people who are then sentenced in corrupt or phony trials to toil at mines.
People are enslaved to pay off household or business debts. Money, food, or tools are advanced to laborers, but phony accounting and abusive interest rates prevent them from repaying the debt. Miners are forced to keep digging.
Sex slavery is rampant. Militias abduct women and girls from villages. Others are lured to mining zones by false promises of financial support.
Slavery in Marriage
There are few things more fundamental in life than marriage. It is the foundation of family. But for many Congolese women and girls, marriage can be slavery.
The military conflict has created a climate in which armed combatants flout the law with impunity, routinely forcing women and girls into marriage against their will.
Forced marriages often begin by abduction and rape. Or they can be arranged by impoverished fathers to repay debts. Brides forced into marriage are completely trapped. They cannot pursue their own goals, live independently, or escape.
Girls are especially vulnerable because they are essentially powerless, being both children and female in a patriarchal society. Child marriages result in high-risk pregnancies with greater rates of both maternal and infant illness and death.
Our Solutions in the Congo
Slavery must end for a truly lasting peace.
We've worked with local groups to support education and access to schooling, good governance, citizen advocacy and government accountability, gender equality and and end to gender-based violence, law enforcement, workers' rights associations, increased transparency by companies that use Congo minerals, micro-credit, and the development of viable alternative livelihoods to mining—such as farming and animal husbandry.
Free the Slaves DRC projects (2009-2018) were based on five pillars.
Strengthening Community Resistance to Slavery. The establishment of village committees and clubs in schools is fostering community mobilization and advocacy to eliminate slavery and demand accountability from government officials. The launch of savings and loan associations is creating access to micro-credit so that vulnerable villagers can weather financial emergencies without falling into debt bondage slavery.
Building General Public Awareness. Guided community discussions with illustrated booklets, a community radio series, and a mobile cinema feature film that dramatizes ways to resist slavery are helping the Congolese visualize that freedom from slavery is possible.
Building the Capacity of Congolese Civil Society. A variety of community mobilizing, advocacy, media relations, and monitoring and evaluation skills are being strengthened at Free the Slaves front-line partner organizations and coalitions.
Improving the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practice of Key Government Officials. Elected officials, prosecutors, judges, customary chiefs, and administrative authorities are being educated about slavery and trafficking laws—and their duty to enforce them.
Adoption of Anti-slavery Practices by International NGOs. Training on how to recognize slavery and take action is being provided to a wide range organizations working in eastern Congo.
See our booklet, Catalyzing a Civil Society Movement Against Slavery, for details of the Free the Slaves Community Liberation Initiative strategy to create slavery-free and slavery-resistant communities worldwide. Read the independent evaluation of our Congo program's impact, which concludes that "the project has succeeded in its goal to increase community-led resistance to slavery." (One-page summary here.) See our 2018 DRC social mapping report (in French) here.

2018 TIP Report Upgrades Several African Countries
Posted by Terry FitzPatrick on June 28, 2018
The U.S. State Department says many African governments are doing a better job combating modern slavery. More than a dozen African nations received upgrades in the annual Trafficking in Persons Report (TIP).
The upgrades include Ghana, where Free the Slaves has helped lead a comprehensive program to strengthen communities and government agencies.
"We saw some positive movements across entire regions," said U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo while releasing the report in Washington Thursday. "Of the 48 African read more >
Teen Girls Rescued by Radio in Congo
Posted by Terry FitzPatrick on May 18, 2018
Advertising can be a powerful force – for good or bad. A recent FTS rescue in the Democratic Republic of the Congo proves the point.
Three teen girls from the village of Nobili thought they were being hired to be waitresses. Instead, they were quickly forced into prostitution. The restaurant owner advertised that the girls were on the menu. As a result, the restaurant was always crowded with men.
Fortunately, Free the Slaves was advertising, too. The girls heard community service read more >

Hiya guys. This week cannot seriously drag on any slower than it already has been. But I have been making due watching my newest obsession, Orange is the New Black. I feel like I have been under a rock or something. My plans this weekend include watching season three while swatching up a storm. So for today I'm sharing swatches from the fabulous Lollipop Posse Lacquer and her Dancing Girl Collection. I'll be covering the glitter duo and half of the neon shimmer combo.
The Dancing Girl Glitter Duo by Lollipop Posse Lacquer is available for $17.00. The Dancing Girl Neon Shimmers foursome is available for $32.00. Each of the polishes are also available for individual sale for $9.50.
Somebody Leave the Light On can be described as a sunshine-yellow crelly with prominent copper shimmer and pin-pricks of holo light shining through. It's not often yellow shades compliment my skin tone so I was pleased with how this one suited me. Formula was a little on the thick side, but manageable and self-leveled well on the second coat. If you use a white undie then you can get away with less coats and it will also let the neon undertones come to life. Swatched in three coats and sealed with Seche Vite topcoat.
Shock Me Sane can be described as a fluorescent magenta crelly with a mixture of blue and aqua flecks, and a fine dusting of micro holo shimmer. So much brighter in person and this is without the use of an undie! Very neon and is also black-light reactive. The formula has a similar consistency as Somebody Leave the Light On and applies a little thick. However, it's definitely manageable and doesn't interfere with the smooth finish. Swatched in two coats and sealed with Seche Vite topcoat.
Comatose State can be described as a turquoise crelly with pink glass flecks and matte, neon pink hex and square glitters. Definitely my favorite one among the four I am showing you guys today. Must have for the summer! The formula is fantastic, applies really easily, and doesn't have any need to fish for glitters. Swatched in two coats and sealed with Seche Vite topcoat.
Boys Can't Be Men can be described as a bright pink crelly with aqua shimmer and matte blue triangle, square, and hex glitters. I adore this crelly on so many different levels. I had seen it for months and had fallen in love from the moment I saw it. It totally reminds me of the 80s! Formula was really good with the consistency being not thick or too thin. The glitters in this are plentiful and apply fantastic without clumping. Swatched in two coats and sealed with Seche Vite topcoat.
Overall I am very impressed with the formulas and shades from Lollipop Posse Lacquer. This is a relatively new indie on the scene so I wasn't sure what to expect going in, but I am beyond blown away with the crelly duo. I love how unique the color combinations feel! The shimmers were also so lovely in application,, but I can see them being dupes in the summer of neons. After these polishes, I am personally really looking forward to what the future holds for this indie. Have you guys tried out Lollipop Posse Lacquer yet?
Great swatches! I love the color and the shimmer of Somebody Leave the Light On.
Beautiful swatches! The crellies colours are reversed so would probably look great together too!
Oh my gosh, Boy Can't Be Men is EVERYTHING.
Hahaha, I love it. Too funny that we both just blogged about this (well, one of them)! So far I own three LPL polishes and I love them!! I am very impressed with what she's released so far, and look forward for what's to come! Lovely swatches!
Beautiful swatches..these are some fun colors for the season.
I love the crelly duo!! Such awesome color combinations.
I love all the microflakes here!
I haven't tried out this brand yet but these polishes really make me want too!!
Haven't tried this brand yet, but these colors are so fun!!
Fun colors! I love comatose state!

Espresso S'mores and Duck Confit: Bonfire DC Debuts Smokin' Hot Menu
Written by Lizzie Published on July 15, 2016 in Lizzie, Restaurant Review
In any other establishment, a man balancing on the edge of a bar sink wielding a blowtorch would be cause for alarm. At Bonfire, it just means Chad Spangler is about to make a cocktail.
If you've walked around Downtown DC in the last month or two, you may have noticed that Bonfire is the newest kid on the 19th Street block. On Monday, their team hosted an eager group of foodies to give them a taste of campfire-themed desserts, smoky libations and savory comfort food with an elaborate twist. Beverage Director Chad Spangler waved guests in and started the evening off with samples of the Snowbunny Cocktail.
Snowbunny | Absolut Elyx Vodka infused with pear & chamomile, lemon, sparkling wine and pomelo skin
Bonfire may be just a month old, but Chad has been molding the DC food scene for quite some time. While he was studying finance at George Washington University, he joined the Founding Farmers team behind the bar, getting a taste for craft cocktails and ultimately leading them to open their sister restaurants in Georgetown and Montgomery County. Fast forward a few years and he's also got the openings of Red Light, Prospect, and Provision No. 14 under his belt. Bonfire opened its doors two months ago in the location of the former Famous Luigi's, which closed its doors in 2013 after an astounding 70+ years.
The real estate is a true DC gem. The famous glass atrium still stands proudly at the front of the restaurant where diners can have both an intimate and airy experience. Inside the first floor bar, you'll find warm lighting, rustic hardwood and high ceilings that keep it feeling spacious.
Bonfire boasts another bar upstairs on the second floor. Upon arrival, we also spied a third staircase; Chad confirmed that plans are in place to eventually open up the rooftop. Yes, PLEASE.
Anyway, back to the food. As its name implies, Bonfire specializes in smokiness. Passed hors d'ouevres included piping hot bone marrow tater tots with Irish cheddar and pork belly sliders that melted in your mouth. Heads especially turned when the server brought out a smoking platter of truffle mac n' cheese. We were even given a sneak peek of the Duck Waffle entree, which I fully intend to devour on my next visit.
Duck Waffle | Crispy confit duck, Hong Kong waffle, duck fat butter, pomegranate-maple sauce
Truffle Skillet Mac n' Cheese
The "Sweet Selections" dessert menu offers an expansive list of delicacies, including six types of s'mores (such as strawberry shortcake and toasted coconut), campfire skillets, seasonal gelato and rice Krispies treats. As delicious as the s'mores were on Monday, I can only imagine how amazing they will taste during the chilly winter months!
S'mores Tower | Peanut Butter & Banana, Orange & Nutella, Classic S'Mores
Hazelnut Chocolate Campfire Skillet w/ Marshmallow & Homemade Graham Cracker
Aside from sneaking an inappropriate number of s'mores into my mouth, my favorite part of the evening was the cocktail-making demonstration. Chad previewed "You're Killin' Me Smalls," which is chocolate-infused mezcal and tequila, sugar cane, bitters, roasted marshmallows and maplewood smoke. You'll notice that Bonfire keeps actual logs lined up along the bar, precisely for the purpose of creating smoke for several of their cocktails. After torching the log, the glass is clamped down over the billowing smoke, which gives the drink a gentle smokiness and doesn't overtake the palate. In addition to "You're Killin' Me Smalls," the menu also offers whiskey-based and rum-based smoked cocktails.
Bonfire brings a refreshing and starkly unique vibe to the 19th Street family. I have a feeling I'll be spending many a' summer night here, and many more in the fall and winter months.
Bonfire is open Monday-Thursday 11:00a-2:00a, Friday 11:00a-3:00a and Saturday 5:00p-3:00a. Happy hour is 3:00-8:00pm daily. Follow them on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Lizzie is a digital forensic analyst by day and a devoted DC foodie by night. She has a fierce appetite for bourbon-based cocktails, slow cooker meals, and true crime podcasts.
