On 24 April 1889 Dunedin Police issued a sinister description of suspected baby farmer Mary Cecilia Counsel. As Police tried to hunt her down they described Mary as having “withered features” with “heavy eyelids” and added that she habitually dressed in black. In a climate where so-called baby farmers sometimes murdered their unwanted charges instead of arranging care for them, this description would have done nothing to reassure the general public. Nineteenth century New Zealand offered few options for mothers unable to keep their babies, and many turned to unofficial caregivers commonly known as baby farmers, women who took in children for money. The most infamous of these was Minnie Dean, from Winton in Southland, who having been convicted of child murder in 1895 was the only woman ever hanged in New Zealand. Ethel and Edith Winchester, 7 month old twins, had been taken in by Mary Counsel, who had answered an advertisement from a woman from St Clair in Dunedin. Mary was paid 14 pounds for their support, and told the woman that she had a home for the twins in Wellington or Auckland. Instead she returned two months later with a terminally ill Edith who died a few days later. When asked to return Ethel she claimed that she was with a Mrs McGregor but refused to give this woman’s address. Told she had to produce the child within 10 days she instead absconded sparking a nationwide search. Police were sure Ethel must be dead but in July Mary was found in Dunedin with the child. It is not known what Mary’s intention was but at least Ethel was still alive. What became of Ethel after this was not reported but Mary escaped conviction in this instance at least. Shown here is the Police report into Mary Counsel’s disappearance with Ethel Winchester. It was thought at the time that Mary had been working as a baby farmer ever since immigrating to New Zealand from India two years before.

Section of the Oregon Trail Blue Mountain Crossing Segment — of the pioneer [[:en:Oregon Trail| Oregon Trail ]] in [[:en:Wyoming| Wyoming ]]. Protected within a Bureau of Land Management area in Wyoming . Oregon National Historic Trail — National historic trails can take us back, returning us literally and symbolically to a point of departure in geography and time. Who among us has not wondered what it was like for America's pioneers to lie on the open ground of the western high plains on a starlit night and to hear wolves howl in the distance? To walk in the footsteps of these men and women today is to glimpse their experience and to feel their purpose and courage. National historic trails help us recreate this unique chapter in American history when, starting more than 170 years ago, some 500,000 emigrants made their way overland to the far western edge of the continent. Their determination resulted in 12 new states joining the Republic between 1840 and 1890, all west of the Mississippi River . Congress designates national historic trails “to protect historic landscapes and inform our curiosity about the past.” Visitors to the Oregon National Historic Trail have more than 350 miles to explore on Wyoming public lands managed by the Bureau of Land Management . One pristine stretch extends a full 35 miles entirely on BLM lands—farther than most emigrant parties could walk in a single day. Thanks to the foresight and dedication of preservation-minded citizens and volunteers, the Oregon, Mormon Pioneer , California , and Pony Express routes are all managed as national historic trails. BLM-managed sections are part of the National Conservation Lands .

Satellite image of Japan in May 2003. The islands of Japan are shown clearly off the coast of North and South Korea, China, and Russia in this true-color image. Running down through the islands are a string of mountains that make up part of the Pacific "Ring of Fire." The Ring of Fire is a zone of frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions that stretches in a series of arcs from New Zealand, through Indonesia, up through the Philippines, Japan, the Kuril Islands and Kamchatka Peninsula (Russia), across the Pacific Ocean via the Aleutian Islands, and down the coast of the Americas. Seventy-five percent of the world's volcanoes are in this ring, making it the most volcanically-active region on the planet. Also shown in this image are a number of fires, which are marked with red dots. A few fires were detected in Japan, China, and North Korea, but the majority were detected in Russia's Primorskiy-Kray region. This true-color Aqua MODIS image was acquired on May 1, 2003.
