John DeGarmo keeps busy as a father to six children.He's also been a foster parent to dozens of other children, which brought the impact of the opioid crisis right into his home. Several of his foster kids were born addicted, including three children he adopted."They suffer with challenges in focusing, with reading, with learning skills with mood swings," DeGarmo said. "You know, it really affects the whole child."Anita, who did not give her last name for privacy reasons, is another parent dealing with the aftereffects opioids have on children in the foster care system."My oldest came with a lot of issues," the foster parent said. "He slept of the floor for the longest time, would not sleep in a bed, no matter what I tried."According to the latest figures, one in three children now enter foster care because of their parents' drug abuse.The number of children in foster care has jumped for the fifth consecutive year, fueled by the opioid epidemic. And foster care advocates across the country say there's not enough foster parents.The problem is such an issue it got the attention of congress.Lawmakers 1127

In regions of the United States and Mexico that are prone to hurricanes, aggressive spiders are evolving to survive and ride out the storm.When hurricanes rage along the Gulf of Mexico or charge up the East Coast, they can reshape an entire habitat in a short time. The winds destroy trees and spread debris for miles, putting new pressure on the creatures living in these environments.But how do creatures adapt when their habitats are so disturbed? Researchers looked at Anelosimus studiosus spiders that live in storm-prone areas along the coast to see how they changed. Their study was published Monday in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution.These weather systems are called "black swan events": a surprising event with a major impact that is explained with the benefit of hindsight. They don't offer much lead time, so the researchers had to scramble to study the spider colonies before and after projected storms.The team monitored Subtropical Storm Alberto and Hurricanes Florence and Michael during the 2018 hurricane season. They tried to anticipate the systems' trajectories and study areas that included 240 female spider colonies, comparing them with areas where spider colonies were unaffected by such storms.The researchers returned to the sites hit by the storms 48 hours later. About 75% of the colonies survived the initial storm strikes."It is tremendously important to understand the environmental impacts of these 'black swan' weather events on evolution and natural selection," said Jonathan Pruitt, lead study author, evolutionary biologist and Canada 150 Chair in McMaster University's Department of Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour. "As sea levels rise, the incidence of tropical storms will only increase. Now more than ever we need to contend with what the ecological and evolutionary impacts of these storms will be for non-human animals."The A. studiosis spider species has two main personality traits that are inherited: docile and aggressive.Aggressiveness can be determined based on their speed, attackers pursuing prey, cannibalizing male spiders as well as eggs and their vulnerability to the invasion of predatory spiders.On the one hand, aggressive colonies are better at gathering resources in times of scarcity. But when deprived of food or subjected to overheating, aggressive colonies can also suffer from infighting."Tropical cyclones likely impact both of these stressors by altering the numbers of flying prey and increasing sun exposure from a more open canopy layer," Pruitt said. "Aggressiveness is passed down through generations in these colonies, from parent to daughter, and is a major factor in their survival and ability to reproduce."The researchers determined that after a storm passed, the colonies that aggressively pursued food and resources were able to produce more egg cases. The spiderlings also had a better chance of surviving into early winter.In areas that weren't hit by storms, docile colonies thrived.These findings were consistent even as the storms varied in duration, intensity and size. The researchers believe this shows that extreme events can shape animal behaviors. They would like to conduct more long-term studies to learn whether this is the case. 3250

John Legend made a surprise visit to Dayton, Ohio, Sunday, a week after a shooting there left nine people dead and at least 31 others injured.The Grammy Award-winning singer, a native of Springfield, Ohio, about 30 minutes northeast of Dayton, put on a concert for the families of the victims and staff from local businesses in the city's Oregon District where the shooting took place.Before the concert, Legend met with Mayor Nan Whaley and employees of Heart Mercantile. The gift store is across the street from the site where a man armed with a .223-caliber high-capacity rifle unleashed a barrage of bullets on revelers enjoying a night out in the early morning hours of August 4. He was killed by police officers soon after he began firing.Whaley thanked Legend in a tweet for coming to shop in the district and talk about gun reform laws."It is more important now than ever for us to come together to support our local communities," Legend tweeted Sunday following his visit.In another tweet, Legend called for people to take action by calling their senators and demanding they vote for stronger gun safety laws.People who work in the Oregon District told CNN that the visit was therapeutic following an emotional week.Andy Rowe, assistant general manager at Blind Bob's, the venue where Legend performed, told CNN that the entire district appreciated the singer's visit."I think I can say the Oregon Historic District was profoundly moved to have @johnlegend bear witness to our heartache, and help heal our community," Rowe said in a text.Employees of Heart Mercantile said they were touched by Legend's visit."It felt like the first positive beautiful moment we've felt all week," Alison Bohman told CNN by text. "We loved each other so hard. And John loved us." 1783

INDIANAPOLIS, Indiana — A new tool is emerging to battle the scour of overdose deaths that lead directly to the powerful synthetic drug, fentanyl.Drug users can now test to see whether the drug they are about to inject is in fact fentanyl.Lena Severance, 35, was battling a heroin addiction. She told her mother she could tell, if the illicit drugs she was taking, was fentanyl — by it's color. She was wrong.Dead wrong. That was April 28, 2018. Her death certificate provided the evidence that five different types of fentanyl was laced into the heroin she used.Lena's mother, Sherry McKay welcomes the availability of fentanyl test strips for users."If they can test it and see if that is in there or not, yeah, its gonna help. It's gonna give them the choice," McKay said. "Do I want to do this, and take the chance of dying? Or do I want to live and not do it?""It could save a lot of lives," she said.You can obtain Fentanyl strips through the Overdose Lifeline.A program that Justin Phillips founded in 2014, after her 20-year-old son Aaron, died from an opioid overdose."Individuals who do test their drugs are less likely to use the drugs. Or at the minimum, use less at that time would be considered harm reduction, at the least," said Phillips. "And don't use the same amount if you are gonna go ahead and use."A report from the Journal of the American Medical Association found that fentanyl was involved in nearly half of the opioid related deaths.The enormity of the problem drew this reaction from IUPUI professor Dr. Brad Ray who does research on substance abuse."The number one thing we need to focus on is medication assisted treatment" said Dr. Ray. "The number two thing is the distribution of nalaxone, and the number three thing is these drug testing devices."If you are interested in obtaining fentanyl testing strips, you can call Overdose Lifeline: 844-554-3354.The strips are free of charge. 1928
