 Not a single South Atlantic hurricane had ever been documented - that is, before march 2004. Indeed, when a strange swirl of clouds began to form off the Brazilian coast on 20 march 2004, local meteorologists couldn't quite believe their eyes. So unheard of was a South Atlantic hurricane that many of them were still refusing to employ the term 'hurricane' when Catarina - complete with 95 mph winds and torrential rain - swept ashore near the town of Torres, damaging 30,000 houses and killing several people. |

 We all relate to some aspect of depression in its broad iteration, particularly when it's a dull late afternoon in march, the snow is falling again, and a headache is coming on. Many aspects of life are undeniably tedious, annoying, vaguely painful—traffic jams, news headlines, bank errors. As Americans have become more aware of their feelings in the last three therapy-oriented decades, it has become acceptable and eminently appropriate to say, when someone asks how you are feeling (particularly if it's late march), "a little depressed. |

Despite years of public health campaigns telling women of child-bearing age to take enough folic acid every day to prevent birth defects, the message doesn't seem to be getting through.
NUMBERS ARE DROPPING
The number of women in the US taking folic acid supplements dropped from 40% in 2004 to 33% in 2005, according to a report from the march of Dimes. |

 Slaves began to be a burden to their masters. On march 24,1827, the Niles Register complained about the situation. "Most of our intelligent planters regard the cultivation of tobacco in Maryland as no longer profitable and would almost universally abandon it if they knew what to do with their slaves."20
Emigrant planters continued their destructive ways in the new western lands to which their old habits had driven them. Writing to Farmers Register'in August 1833, one Alabama resident expressed dismay at continuing the cycle. |

 Materials and Methods
Plant Collections
The majority of plants were collected during field visits in August-September 1995, May 1996, August-November 1996, march 1997, and June-July 1997. The specimens were registered under the collection series "Bejar" and "CORD."
Vouchers of all specimens were deposited at the Herbario Estacion Cientifica San Francisco (ECSF), Herbario Loja (LOJA), Herbario Nacional de Ecuador (QCNE), and Herbario de la Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Ecuador (QCA). The identification of the plant material was conducted entirely in Ecuador. |

 But she increased her antioxidant intake, and within two weeks the symptoms were no longer a problem.
In march of 1996 she slept her first eight-hour night. She was delighted to notice her sleep pattern was once again one of normal, deep sleep. Her nerves were no longer frayed, and she felt a pervasive sense of wellness returning. Confusion cleared, and her thinking process began to improve. Six years later, she is still doing well. |

On march 12, 1901, the United States Industrial Commission invited Bureau of Soils chief Milton Whitney to testify about abandoned farmland in New England and the South. Whitney attributed New England's abandoned farms to the falling price of crops pouring out of the Midwest on the nation's new railroads. In his opinion, New England's farmers just could not compete with cheap wheat and cattle from out West. |

The average length of a pregnancy in the United States is getting shorter, with the most common duration now 39 weeks, rather than the full term 40 weeks, according to a recent report.
Babies born close to full term—five to six weeks early, called late preterm—now account for most of the premature births in the US. |
| Approximately 15% of recognized pregnancies end in miscarriage, according to the march of Dimes. But Stephenson says that statistic usually includes the pregnancies that survive for six weeks. "When you count the ones that occur before six weeks, up to half of the pregnancies end in miscarriage," she notes.
ADVICE: DE-STRESS
The best advice for women trying to get pregnant is to de-stress your life before you conceive, Stephenson suggests. "I talk about this a lot with my patients," she says. "I recommend that before they get pregnant, they take a serious look at their lifestyle. |

 In a recent experiment, psychologist Shlomo Breznitz at Hebrew University, Jerusalem, had several groups of Israeli soldiers march forty kilometers (about twenty-five miles), but gave each group different information. He had some groups march thirty kilometers, and then told them they had another ten to go. He told others they were going to march sixty kilometers, but in reality only marched them forty. He allowed some to see distance markers, and provided no clues to others as to how far they had walked. |

Since there is no effective treatment that prolongs life, just how could the American Cancer Society have come to the conclusion that the PSA test prolongs survival? Experts agree there has been no significant drop in prostate cancer mortality rates for decades. What cancer statisticians are doing is taking the date when prostate cancer is detected, which because of more widespread screening is many years earlier, and adding it to expand survival time. |

 The T-shirts created for the march for Women's Lives became contraband; the lawyers warned us never to wear them in public.
And off went a new letter to L'Oreal: "Prior to adopting the campaign name Because We're Worth It! The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, we conducted a thorough internet search and found hundreds of uses of that slogan in diverse sources, including British Broadcasting Corp., a television series exploring globalization, a children's book on self esteem, a Star Wars website, a British firefighters' union and a Nurse & Midwives fair pay campaign. |
| The campaign requested an in-person meeting, and in march 2006, Felicia, Charlotte Brody, Bryony Schwan and Janet Nudelman flew down to LA to meet with Schwartz.11 Charlotte gave a presentation about the science of DBP. The OPI executives stood firm. |
| Globally harmonize regulations and take "unified industry positions around the world on ingredients."
By march 2006, CTFA had already made good progress. Though they were unable to prevent the California Safe Cosmetics Act, the industry "mobilized unprecedented communications, grassroots and policy efforts," according to Pamela Bailey, and "together we achieved a bill in California that was much improved from the original proposal. |
| Lisa Archer, the new grassroots organizer for the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics, thought the women's march was the perfect place to debut the campaign's message of toxic-free products and toxic-free bodies. The work was closer to her heart than most people knew. Though raised in rural Wyoming, Lisa had long worried about the environmental problems of the world. The issues really hit home when, at age 12, she learned her mother had breast cancer. "How could this be happening?" Lisa wondered. "There's no breast cancer in the family. |
