The Steiger brothers, authors and researchers of paranormal activity, were filming several productions at the hotel. Sherry (one of them) was explaining the story of the most famous place mirror, and while they were standing there, a gentleman pulled back as if he had pushed and said, ‘Who do you think you are?`. Brad asked the man what happened; and he said that the blonde lady came running as if it were the owner of Hollywood and made him aside. PHOTOS BACHERLOR´S GROVE CEMETERY • It is rumoured that this is one of the favourite places for gangsters to dump the dead bodies. Bacherlor´s Grove is an old and decaying cemetery that has been the scene of countless stories of ghosts, spirits and devil worship. Several tombstones in the cemetery seem to move at will, and many claim that the spirits of the dead often materalize and walk at night. • A white lady is a ghost that has been seen in this cemetery. Her legends are found around the world too. pHOTOS Robert the doll The island art and historical museum is not haunted but contains shocking artifacts from the history of Key West in the form of a large doll that many claim is possessed. It was given to the painter Gene Otto in 1900, and he soon took a deadly fear of it, the young man said that the doll often threatened and woke him up at night, tossing the furniture.

    THE GENESIS OF THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM GEORGE BROWN GOODE, Assistaiil Secretary, Siiii/Iisoiiiaii /nsti/ii/ioii , in cliarge of the 17. S. A'utioiial iMuxeum. «3 ' IIIE GENESIS OF THE UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEl'M By George Brown Goode, Assistant Secretary, Sinithsonian Institution , in charge of the U. S. National Museum. When, in 1826, James Sniithson bequeathed his estate to the United ' States of America ' to found at Washington , under the name of the Smithsonian Institution, an estabhshment for the increase and diffusion of knowledge among men," he placed at the disposal of our nation two valuable collections—one of books and one of minerals. In the schedule of Sniithson' s personal effects, as brought to America in 1838, occurs the following entry : Two large boxes filled with specimens of minerals and manuscript treatises, apparently in the testator's handwriting, on various philosophical subjects, particu- larly chemistry and mineralogy. Eight cases and one trunk filled with the like. This collection and the books and pamphlets mentioned in the same schedule formed the beginnings, respecti\-ely, of the Smithsonian library and the Smithsonian museum. The minerals constituted, so far as the writer has l)een able to learn, the first scientific cabinet owned by the Government of the United States. Their destruction in the Smithsonian fire of 1865 was a serious loss. Our only knowledge of their character is derived from the report of a comniittee of the National Institution, which in 1841 reported upon it as follows : Among the effects of the late ]Mr. Sniithson, is a Cabinet which, so far as it has been examined, proves to consist of a choice and beautiful collection of Minerals, comprising, probably, eight or ten thousand specimens.

The sudden collapse of allegedly stable regimes across the Mediterranean, the rising appeal of extreme politics in Europe and the United States, and uncertainty about future engines of economic growth all create a need to look at the world with fresh eyes and develop a new understanding about the way forward. The Transatlantic Leadership Seminar of the German Marshall Fund of the United States is designed to address this need. It provides transatlantic leaders from business, government, and civil society direct exposure to key actors and trends driving change inside and around Europe and the United States. Briefings, meetings, and site visits led by subject area experts allow a professionally and geographically diverse cohort to develop new insights and strategies for effective leadership in the 21st century. The seminar relies on GMF’s extensive network of partners and 30-plus years of cutting edge leadership development to create an intellectually stimulating experience of the highest quality.

    I R E P O R T S U M M A R Y SUBJ ECTS Solid-waste studies / Solid by-product disposal/reuse I Water quality/aquatic resources / Water quality control TOPICS Dispersions Hydrodynamics Groundwater Solid-waste disposal Transport Leachate migration AUDIENCE Environmental scientists and engineers / R&D scientists and planners A Review of Field-Scale Physical Solute Transport Processes In Saturated and Unsaturated Porous Media Hydrodynamic dispersion is the key physical process that deter- mines how groundwater plumes of chemicals develop. This liter- ature review defines the status of data on field-scale ground- water transport mechanisms and represents a first step in developing and validating methods for predicting the fate of leached chemicals. BACKGROUND EPRI is conducting a multiphase effort to quantify migration patterns of chemicals released from solid wastes at utility disposal sites. Before researchers can develop accurate models for predicting the groundwater transport of solutes, reliable data on field-scale transport parameters are needed. OBJECTIVES To conduct a critical review of literature reporting field-scale dispersion data and to analyze selected data for interpreting and identifying data gaps. APPROACH Researchers manually searched the literature and identified numerous pub- lished and unpublished studies yielding field-scale values of dispersivity. The primary targets for this search were dispersion parameters because they control the degree of spreading and dilution of a solute plume. Both satu- rated and unsaturated subsurface environments were included. After com- piling the data, the researchers summarized information on the longitudinal. horizontal, and vertical dispersivities; aquifer material; average aquifer thick- ness; hydraulic conductivity; apparent heterogeneity; and effective porosity.

Williams School of Science, Food and Horticulture, University of Western Sydney, Locked Bag 1797, Penrith South DC NSW 1797, Australia Abstract: Numerous factors control the chemistry of metal ions in natural aqueous systems. These include the presence of a host of complexing agents, speciation among a variety of competing ligands, buffering due to precipitated solid phases, and the relative influences of kinetic versus thermodynamic phenomena. Natural aqueous systems are inevitably compli- cated, but simple, inorganic models can be constructed to characterize a variety of different environments. While available data sets for these models are large, it is clear that much fur- ther research is required in order to develop more sophisticated models. Some of the fields of research that need to be addressed are outlined, and some of the constraints on such re- search are briefly discussed. Keywords: aqueous solutions; geochemistry; minerals; modeling; equilibria. INTRODUCTION We live in a watery world. The “big laboratory”, the surface of the Earth, is a heterogeneous environ- ment in which aqueous systems play a major role in determining the chemistry of transport of inorganic and organic species. Among other things, the transport of metal ions and their interactions with living organisms is mediated by aqueous chemistries of varying complexity. Understanding such systems is of central importance in many fields ranging from biochemistry, toxicology, and nutrition to hydrometal- lurgy, mineral exploration, and pollution studies [1,2].
