G9454, New October 2001
Two species of skunks are found in Missouri. The eastern spotted skunk, Spilogale putorius, has white splotches on its back and sides. It is now rarely found in the state and is fully protected as a threatened species under state regulations. Also known as the civit cat, adult spotted skunks are typically 14 to 22 inches long and weigh from 3/4 to 2-3/4 pounds.
The striped skunk, Mephitis mephitis, is more common. Its color pattern is typically characterized by two prominent white stripes down the back in a coat of jet-black fur. The amount of white on the back varies tremendously, from just a patch on the head to stripes covering the entire back.
New research findings in the fossil record obtained from evolutionary biologists suggests that skunks are evolutionarily distinct enough from other mustelids (as they were historically classified) to warrant a separate family, the Mephitidae. Because many of the habits of the eastern spotted skunk and the striped skunk are similar, the following discussion of biology and natural history applies to both species.
Spotted skunk. Striped skunk.
Skunks can be found in a variety of habitats throughout Missouri. Favorite areas include rolling hayfields, fencerows, brushland, woodland edges, weedy fields, rocky outcrops, wooded ravines and drainage ditches. Skunks live in underground dens that may be found in vacant buildings, under house porches, culverts, brush piles, tree stumps, lumber piles or in abandoned fox or woodchuck burrows.
Dens are lined with leaves, hay or grasses. Skunks use a variety of dens for loafing during the day, for giving birth and raising young and for periods of inactivity during the winter. Skunks are nocturnal, becoming active from sunset to slightly after sunrise. During the day, they usually sleep in the den. During the winter months, skunks may remain inactive in the den for a period of days or weeks. Skunks do not hibernate but become inactive during cold weather, relying on stored body fat to get them through the winter. Several skunks may share the same den during the winter to conserve body heat.
Female skunks typically do not travel great distances, whereas males may travel up to four to five miles a night during the breeding season. Skunk home ranges normally vary from 1 to 1-1/2 miles in diameter.
During the breeding season, males move slowly, become active during the day and are reluctant to flee when endangered. This is the time when skunks are often struck by cars.
In Missouri the breeding season for skunks begins in late January when males begin searching for females near winter dens. Skunks mate in February, and the young are born in May or June. Usually five to nine kits are born in a litter, but there can be as many as 18 or as few as two. Young are weaned when they are about two months old. Families break up in August and September when the young leave to find their own homes.
Skunks are opportunistic feeders, feeding on both plant and animal material. Favorite skunk foods include grasshoppers, crickets, beetles, wasps, cutworms and other insect larvae. When insects are not available, skunks will eat mice, rats, shrews, moles, chipmunks and other small mammals. They will also eat amphibians, reptiles, fish, fruits and garbage. They will occasionally feed on poultry and the eggs of ground-nesting birds.
Skunks become a problem when they dig under foundations; take up residence under a house, porch or building; dig in lawns, golf courses and gardens for insect larvae or roots; disturb refuse and garbage cans or kill and eat poultry eggs or fowl. Skunk diggings appear as 3- to 4-inch cone-shaped holes or patches of upturned earth. Be cautious, as many other animals, including domestic dogs, also dig in lawns. Skunks can also damage beehives as they feed on adult and larval bees.
Most skunk problems are related to the animal's ability to discharge an obnoxious odor when provoked. The scent, produced by two internal glands located at the base of the tail, is usually released for self-defense. Before spraying the thick, volatile, oily, sulfur-containing compound, skunks usually stamp their front feed rapidly, and growl or hiss.
Skunks generally walk a short distance on their front feet and raise their tail as a warning before releasing any scent. The fluid is released in a fine spray directed accurately up to 10 feet and less accurately to 20 feet. Skunks can discharge the spray several times within a short period. The fluid is painful if it gets in a person's eyes and may cause temporary blindness for up to 15 minutes.
Skunks are highly susceptible to rabies. Because they can become locally abundant and transmit rabies to other mammals, skunks cause concern for human health and livestock safety. Rabies is a serious viral disease that infects many types of warm-blooded animals. It is generally spread by direct contact with an infected animal, usually by biting.
When a skunk becomes infected with the rabies virus, it may go unnoticed for a period of time. Symptoms may not appear for weeks or months. During this time, the infected animal may transmit the virus to other animals it contacts. In the final stages of the disease, skunks may lose their fear of humans, seem tame or listless, show signs of excessive salivation, become unusually aggressive or nervous, or wander about during the daytime.
Skunks are usually docile, slow-moving animals, and their main period of activity is from sunset to sunrise. If you notice a skunk acting strangely (aggressive or nervous, wandering in the daytime, or tame and listless), do not approach it. Parents should warn children never to approach or pet a skunk or any other wild animal. If you live in an area where there is a large skunk population, all pet dogs and cats and important livestock should be vaccinated for rabies.
Do not keep skunks or other wild animals for pets because they cannot be effectively immunized against the disease. Furthermore, they may have contacted the disease at an early age and be infected, yet fail to exhibit symptoms for some time.
If you are bitten by a skunk or other wild animal, capture and cage the animal if at all possible. Do not shoot the skunk in the head, because the health department will require the head to determine if the animal was rabid. After you have been bitten, scrub the wound with warm soapy water and seek medical attention immediately.
Submit the head of the animal to the state public health department for testing. Your local public health authorities, physician or veterinarian can provide additional information on rabies. Animals suspected of being rabid should be submitted for diagnosis to your public health officials.
People often find the smell of skunk musk nauseating. Skunk odor can be effectively reduced by using a variety of commercial and home remedies. Neutroleum alpha is a commercial deodorant that effectively masks skunk musk. Ecosorb, a plant-based odor neutralizer is also available.You can purchase either product by contacting the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Wildlife Services at 573-449-3033.
These compounds can also be used to bathe pets or humans or to scrub basements, floors, garages, walls, etc. They can also be sprayed in a room or onto contaminated soil from an aerosol sprayer. Other commercial-strength deodorants available from janitorial supply houses may also be effective.
Home remedies that may help to reduce the intensity of the smell include tomato juice, vinegar and diluted chlorine bleach or ammonia. Be careful when using any of these materials because they may cause color changes on certain materials, and they may be caustic to humans and pets. Note cautions on product labels before using them.
The best long-term solution to managing skunk problems is to prevent them from happening. Homeowners should take preventive measures to keep skunks from becoming abundant in urban areas. Lawns and farmsteads that are kept clean are less attractive to skunks. Remove all debris from the yard where skunks could find shelter or food (insects or small rodents). These include old boards lying on the ground, rocks, junk and stacked lumber or trash piles.
Clean up and destroy dens and remove food sources by taking away exposed pet food, putting strewn garbage in sealed containers and carrying off woodpiles harboring mice and rats. Many farmsteads have grain storage areas that attract mice and rats and possibly skunks in search of an easy meal. Unless the rodent problem is solved, this source of food will create a continual skunk problem. A good integrated rodent control program will eliminate this attraction. To summarize, modify the environment by removing sources of shelter and situations that create rodent or insect problems.
Most skunks can be prevented from digging and denning under foundations, porches or buildings by sealing all openings. Use sturdy wire mesh hardware cloth (1/4- or 1/2-inch mesh) to tightly seal holes in foundations, under porches, vents near ground level or other areas where a skunk could enter. The wire mesh should be buried 12 to 18 inches underground if the skunk could gain access by digging. The bottom six inches should be bent outward in an "L" shape to prevent skunks from digging under it.
Aboveground fences can be constructed of three-foot wide, 1-inch poultry netting with the bottom 12 inches buried underground. Fencing will also keep skunks out of landscaped areas and gardens.
If you know skunks are living under a house, porch, barn or other structure, you can exclude them from reentering. Wait until after dark when the skunk has left to seek food. Examine the dirt at the den entrance. Fresh tracks indicate the skunk has left for the evening. If you do not see tracks easily, sprinkle fine sand or flour at the entrance as a visual aid.
If you think more than one skunk is living under the building, attach a piece of 1/2-inch hardware cloth to the opening. This wire should be larger than the entire entrance and should be hinged at the top but loose on the other three sides. This simple device will allow skunks to push open the gate and leave, but not reenter. Once the skunks are gone, seal the entrance and any other opening completely. Be sure to follow the instructions on exclusion mentioned previously.
There are no chemical repellents or toxicants (poisons) registered for controlling skunks in Missouri. Other than habitat modification and exclusion mentioned above, the only methods available for controlling skunks are trapping and shooting.
Skunks are considered furbearing animals and receive protection under Missouri law. However, if a skunk is damaging your property, you can legally take action to prevent further damage.
Trapping is the preferred and most often recommended way of removing and disposing of problem skunks. A variety of live traps are available from hardware, agricultural supply and feed stores for catching skunks Live traps should be about 12 x 12 x 36 inches in size.
Live traps are the preferred way of capturing and disposing of problem skunks.
Bait the trap with canned or fresh fish, fish-flavored cat food, sardines, chicken entrails or peanut butter. If you know the location of the entrance to the den, place the trap directly in front of it so that the skunk will enter the trap as it leaves the den. Other locations to set traps are along foundations and near trails or fence openings. In urban areas, it is not unusual to catch house cats instead of skunks. Mayonnaise, peanut butter, dried fruit, honey, or molasses on bread attract skunks and not house cats.
Skunks are easy to catch and can be transported without releasing their scent if they are moved carefully. Before setting the trap, cover it with heavy burlap or a canvas tarp. This creates a dark, secure environment in which the skunk will be less likely to release its scent. Be sure to leave each end open.Gently pick up the covered trap and place it in the back of a pickup truck for transportation. You must work quietly and slowly and avoid sudden, jarring movements or loud noises.
Because of the potential for spreading rabies, skunks should not be released back into the environment but should be humanely dsposed of. When a skunk is infected with rabies, the disease may not be apparent and symptoms may not appear for weeks or months. A healthy-looking skunk may actually be diseased and may infect other wild animals it contacts. In this case, you will not be helping other animals by transporting the skunk to a "new home."
Remember, skunks are an important part of the natural world. They are highly beneficial to farmers, gardeners and landowners because they eat agricultural and garden pests. The best approach in managing skunk problems, where possible, is to leave the animals alone.

Director's Corner
5 March 2009
ILC R&D plan updated
We characterise the present period of the Global Design Effort activities as a four-year programme to prepare ourselves to be ready to propose a well conceived ILC construction project to collaborating governments by around 2012. The technical description of our R&D programme to achieve this goal is summarised in the document "ILC Research and Development Plan for the Technical Design Phase." This is a 'living' document, in the sense that we are updating it every six months to maintain a current description of our programme, goals and resources. We have just published the third release of this document in February. It is both an update and contains more complete descriptions of some of our work.
In order to be ready for 2012, we must succeed at our technical R&D goals and produce a technical design that is reliably costed and is technically sound. We have organised the efforts to achieve those goals around our three project managers Marc Ross (Fermilab), Nick Walker (DESY) and Akira Yamamoto (KEK). In addition, we are also working on a project implementation plan that will address governance, collaboration, finances, industrialisation and other practical consideration necessary to form a collaboration between governments for the ILC. For the technical part, especially with the limited resources we have available, we have defined a prioritised R&D programme, as well as work toward a design optimised for cost, performance and risk. It is this programme that is addressed in the newly released R&D Plan.
|Akira Yamamoto, KEK, project manager for SCRF systems
|Marc Ross, Fermilab, project manager for conventional facilities
|Nick Walker, DESY, project manager for accelerator systems
One of the key R&D sections of the report describes the critical R&D goals, resources and schedule for superconducting radiofrequency (RF) technology, coordinated by Akira Yamamoto. The document lists the planned tests on cavity gradient and reviews the information that should be available for a decision on the operating gradient at the end of the Technical Design Phase-1 in 2010. It also describes the design strategies for cavity integration and the plans for systems tests building towards our eventual goal (called S2) of having a test setup with "a single klystron and modulator driving 26 cavities in three cryomodules in a 9-8-9 configuration with a suitable RF distribution system; quadrupole package at the centre of the 8-cavity cryomodule. Demonstration of an average accelerating gradient of 31.5 MV/m at Q0 = 1010 in the cryomodule operation with full beam-loading and handling." At present, this last set of tests would happen in the continuing R&D programme after 2012, but still before we begin the construction of the ILC.
Another key feature of the plan is to systematically address the machine design and cost reduction activities. The strategy is to "focus on a detailed review of the cost-drivers of the RDR collider design, with a view to a re-baseline at the end of TD Phase-1 (2010). We expect to see an increase in global engineering and technical resources in TD Phase-2 to enable further conceptual engineering design of the new baseline configuration, resulting in a robust and defendable update of the VALUE estimate by the end of TD Phase 2 and subsequent submission of the TDR (technical design report)." One branch of this activity will focus on conventional facilities and siting, where we expect significant potential for cost reduction. Questions involving two tunnels versus one tunnel, shallow sites, as well as examining system engineering questions like efficiency of the water system, distribution of RF and the sizes of halls, alcoves and accesses will be explored. Finally, the accelerator systems will also be studied, especially where more cost effective options will be considered (referred to as the minimum machine).
Although our programme is ambitious and resources limited, the updated plan remains mostly consistent with the original plan formulated last year. We believe the goals are realistic in terms of resources, but there are also uncertainties because our work is often at the will of our host laboratories, where other (non-ILC) projects can take priority over our work. We hope to improve on these uncertainties by developing more formal agreements through FALC and the major laboratory directors on the major elements of our programme. With such support, we believe we will accomplish our ultimate goal of being ready to propose the ILC when the eagerly anticipated LHC results validate the science case.

The final day dawns, and a new hero shows up...
Civilian Turn
Angered by the burnination of his wife, and more importantly, the destruction of his duck-truck, Indiana Jones leaves the secret compartment under his vehicle, and prepares to slaughter the car-wreckers.
He climbs on the Megian barricade, and levels his automatic at Captain Commandopants.
End Civilian Turn
Bony Turn
This assimilated trooper...
Attacks the Spacetrooper squad, and fails to penetrate the Officer's armor. In fact, he got a critical fail, resulting in a weapon burn-out.
"Giant Bony, SMASH!!!"
Meanwhile, Deddy fired his pistol at the Gamma Corps troops, rolled a 1, and...
killed the Black Paladin.
End Bony Turn
Megian Turn
The two Peach rifleman quickly took up sniper positions, and rolled such a ridiculous amount of bonus dice, they phrage'd Indy.
The Hyena Droid Bomber then turned its laser guns on the Jug's gunners, killing no one.
The Megian minigunner and bazookaman tried as well, and failed.
The highest-ranking Megian remaining, the Mutant Hybrid guarding the Medik, activated Two-Face's secret orders: Kill Sam Wolton!
Note to Massam: If you had been paying attention, you would have noticed that Two-Face was a Peach, and therefore a traitor, and sent him to kamikaze the Jug, or something.
Unfortunately, in a disaster explained in the Endgame thread, my pic of Two-Face the Peach resting the buisness end of his tommy gun at Sam's head was lost.
End Megian Turn
LWAR turn
The gunner who bailed from the kart to escape the Bonies manned the unoccupied turret, and seeing the Droid Bomber as the primary threat, fired at the it's legs.
It hit, resulting in a structural collapse, and the crushing of a minigunner.
The other turret fired on the bazookaman, with this result.
Meanwhile, at the back of the Jug, Jeff Gordone fired on Captain Nomouth.
Elsewhere, an LWAR skirmisher moved around to try and bakstab Codename: Saber.
Who used his heroic feat to wheel about, and stab the skirmisher with his Katana.
End LWAR turn.
Gamma Corps turn
The Gamma Corps fighter swooped into the action, gunning down the Peach riflemen.
Then, this guy launched his Kamikaze Droid...
@ the head of the EI RAT-AT
What was left of the Robotic-All-Terrain-Assault-Thingy fell on the back of the Jug, crushing the LWAR sniper there.
The Skirmishers and Spacetroopers fired at the Giant Bony, but the sum of their rolls was so lame, it doesn't even deserve a pic. Does anything special happen when you roll five 1s and a 2?
End Gamma Corps Turn

LONG BEACH, Calif. -
Scott Bradley drove in the go-ahead runs in the eighth inning and Vance Worley (4-7) picked up his second consecutive relief win of the week as Long Beach State (27-23, 10-5 Big West) moved to within two games of first place with a 3-1 win over UC Santa Barbara (23-24, 8-10 Big West).
Worley struck out a career-best seven and walked one, retiring six in a row with six innings of shutout relief. Worley scatted just two hits as he also beat LMU on Tuesday with five and two-third innings of one-run relief work.
The Gauchos used three pitchers in the eighth, as The Beach took a 3-1 lead on Justin Segal's first pitch to Bradley. Bradley laced a bases loaded, two-run single into center to break a 1-1 tie and hit Clayton Edwards (2-1) with his first loss of the season.
Shane Peterson added two hits for The Beach.
Donne Hume went the first three innings for the Dirtbags, balking in his only run in the first, giving up one run on five hits. LBSU tied the game in the with an unearned run off an error on the infield, after rightfielder Sean Boatright threw out a Gaucho runner at the plate to end the top of the inning.
Brian Tracy went the first four innings for UCSB, giving up one unearned run on three hits.
UCSB continues action this Wednesday when it hosts Pepperdine at 2 p.m. at Caesar Uyesaka Stadium. After the Wednesday match-up, UCSB hosts UC Davis for non-conference play over the weekend starting at 2 p.m. on Friday.

Pair arrested at Easton meeting
EASTON -- A former candidate for first selectman and his friend will have to appear in court Dec. 21 to answer disorderly conduct charges after they allegedly disrupted Thursday's Board of Selectmen meeting.
The action was unusual in a town better known for its Christmas tree farms and pumpkin patches.
Police issued summonses to Robert Webbe, 59, of Maple Road, and John Bromer, 67, of Silver Hill Road, after they were viewed as speaking out of turn and disrupting the meeting.
Their comments were made both during the public participation segment of the meeting and during the "agenda item" segment, in which comments from the gallery are generally not allowed.
The meeting began on a testy note when Bromer said that the town's website was "pathetic and uninformative," and went on to blame Herrmann and Town Clerk Derek Buckley for "acting like schoolboys."
Herrmann interrupted and told him that only constructive comments would be tolerated.
"We say nothing judgmental and accusatory," Herrmann said, a refrain that he repeated several times during the one-hour meeting.
Webbe, after being recognized by the chair, said that the selectmen "have violated Connecticut statutes," adding that "there will be legal repercussions."
Webbe brought up the long-simmering driveway bond issue, in which the town has been lax in returning performance bonds for driveway paving. Webbe noted that the situation has gotten so bad, the town is being hounded by bill collectors.
Webbe demanded to be recognised by the chair, after which Selectman Scott Centrella said: "This is not a Board of Selectmen meeting anymore."
Webbe continued voicing objections, saying that Herrmann "has either failed to investigate gross negligence, or if there's corruption ... ."
Herrmann cut off Webbe at that point, saying that his comments were "judgmental and accusatory." He then concluded the public comment part of the meeting and called for a short recess. When the meeting resumed, Bromer asked, then demanded, to make a public comment. He was declared out of order by Herrmann and was quietly removed from the meeting by Police Chief James Candee.
Webbe sat quietly for a time, but when a matter was discussed concerning the Greater Bridgeport Regional Council, Webbe spoke out, demanding that Herrmann recuse himself from the discussion because he's a member of the GBRC.
The GBRC is comprised of the chief elected officials from Bridgeport, Trumbull, Stratford, Monroe and Easton, Herrmann included.
At that point, Herrmann called a three minute recess, during which Webbe was taken downstairs to Police Headquarters.
After they were booked, Webbe and Bromer returned to the meeting, but sat quietly.
"We were told that if we caused any more trouble, we'd be tossed in the lockup," Webbe said later.
Bromer told the Post that since the Herrmann administration began in 2007, he's called in the cops six times to Board of Selectmen meetings.
"No Selectman before him has ever done that," Bromer said. "Mr. Herrmann is trying to frame the issue as out-of-order citizens, but suppression of speech, and abuse of both authority and police power are the real issues."
But Herrmann said that he had no other options.
"We do allow people a fair amount of latitude when they want to make comments at our meetings," he said. "But when they interrupt the workings of our meetings, they're over the line."
Webbe ran unsuccessfully for first selectman in 2011 as a write-candidate; he also ran unsuccessfully for treasurer in an October special election.
Chief Candee wasn't at the meeting to keep order, but rather to testify on an agenda item.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (May 4, 2010) - The ETSU baseball team is set to host Wofford in a non-conference match up Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Cardinal Park.
The Bucs (23-18, 11-7 A-Sun) have won six of their last seven games including an impressive series sweep over Stetson this past weekend. Sophomore Bo Reeder (Cookeville, Tenn.) is coming off of his second career Atlantic Sun Player of the Week award after hitting .522 (12-23) with a double, four home runs and 11 RBIs last week.
ETSU is 20-13 all-time against the Terriers, and will be looking for revenge after dropping a heartbreaker 8-7 to Wofford earlier this year.
The Terriers (14-29, 7-14 SoCon) come into the contest having won three of their last seven games including two from UNC Greensboro and one from Elon. Catcher Mac Doyle leads Wofford offensively hitting .390 with 21 doubles, five triples, 15 home runs and 64 RBI.

This is also a way to attract more attention from the KDE community, a sensible move especially if the Trolltech acquisition gets completed.

Tickets for A Day in Pompeii Available August 24, the
Anniversary of the AD 79 Mount Vesuvius Eruption and Following 24
Hours of Tweets
Denver Museum of Nature & Science will release tickets
on Friday following 24 hours of tweets recounting the final 24
hours before Vesuvius' eruption
Denver-August 22, 2012-On August 24, AD 79,
Mount Vesuvius erupted, burying the vibrant Roman city of Pompeii
under volcanic ash for hundreds of years. On August 24, 2012 the
Colorado community can purchase tickets to experience A Day in
Pompeii and explore the daily life-and tragic end-of this thriving
metropolis. The exhibition opens on Friday, September 14 at the
Denver Museum of Nature & Science.
Pompeii's rediscovery in the early 1700s-building by building,
street by street, and block by block-became one of the greatest
archaeological sites ever unearthed. A Day in Pompeii showcases
more than 250 exceptional artifacts that lay buried in the
ruins-including room-size frescoes, marble and bronze sculptures,
jewelry, gold coins, and everyday household items. The
13,000-square-foot exhibition evokes the richness, culture, and
bustle of daily life in Pompeii.
In addition to seeing rare artifacts, visitors will experience
what it was like to live in ancient Pompeii as they enjoy digital
re-creations, activity carts, and conversation with the Museum's
historical enactors.
24 Hours of Tweets from Pliny the Elder
In an effort to create awareness and excitement about the ticket
release, the Museum is launching a social media campaign that will
allow Twitter users to follow Pliny the Elder (https://twitter.com/Elder_Pliny)
and get a first person account of the final 24 hours in Pompeii
before Mount Vesuvius' eruption. Pliny the Elder was a Roman
author, naturalist, and naval commander of the early Roman Empire.
He died on August 25, AD 79 while attempting by ship to rescue a
friend and his family from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. Follow
@Elder_Pliny or @DenverMuseumNS.
Ticket Information
General visitors pay $24 adult, $15 junior/student (ages 3-18 or
with a student ID), and $17 senior (age 65+). Ticket includes
admission to both A Day in Pompeii and the Museum. Timed tickets
will be required and advance reservations are strongly encouraged.
The Museum anticipates that popular times will sell out. For
additional information on pricing, including group rates and dates
for extended hours, visit www.dmns.org/pompeii.
Exhibition Information
A Day in Pompeii is based on the design and presentation
developed by the Gulf Coast Exploreum, the Science Museum of
Minnesota, the San Diego Natural History Museum, and Discovery
Place. Organized by Soprintendenza Speciale per i Beni Archeologici
di Napoli e Pompei (SANP).

Nixon Tonkin inquest: 'I was in labour for two days and they hand me my dead son'
On the bedroom wall of a Gold Coast home there's a special spot reserved for the most painful of memories.
At a glance, he could be peacefully sleeping, but little Nixon Tonkin never breathed on his own.
Instead, his framed image, posed just hours after his traumatic birth and death, hangs opposite Simone and Martin Tonkin's bed, along with casts of Nixon's hands and feet.
Knox Tonkin will never know his big brother. The two-year-old can say Nixon's name. He knows the photos but he's still too young to understand why he's not there.
It's June 3, 2014, when Simone is taken to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, at 38 weeks' pregnant and suffering hypertension
The first-time parents are excited, nervous, looking forward to having their baby home.
The former financial planner won't give birth for another two days after falling into what she describes as a "black hole" of others making decisions for her.
Her qualms stem back to when she was 22 weeks' pregnant and first brought up the topic of an elective caesarean, going on to raise it multiple times.
Martin was a 10-pound baby and now stands "six-foot something". She's 5'1" and weighed only eight. It's genetics, she feels, and a mother's intuition.
"I thought, 'I'm going to have a pretty big baby'," she says.
It's the morning of June 6 and almost two hours after Simone starts pushing, doctors opt for an emergency caesarean after realising Nixon's head is stuck in the birthing canal.
At 1.40pm, Nixon is declared dead, his skull likely crushed by the two fingers of a midwife, a woman who should never have been put in that situation and who Simone doesn't blame.
"I was in labour for two days and then they hand me my dead son," the 36-year-old says, emotion tugging at the edges of her words.
"You can't even fathom what you're supposed to do in that situation, how you're supposed to act. It was horrible.
"I guess you want to hold onto anything tangible you can so you're holding onto that baby and you don't want to let it go."
Three years after the death, Deputy State Coroner John Lock will find no individual staff member responsible, instead criticising some of the hospital's practices and communication.
Many of those will have since been updated in response.
By the time it got to the birth, hospital staff assumed Simone had been properly consulted and opted for a vaginal birth. She had not.
"It was horrible," she says. "To be a human being and feel like you have no decisions in what happens to you or that your voice is taken away, I started to second-guess myself.
"Do I know what I'm talking about? Should I just do what everyone is telling me is happening?"
Mr Lock finds an earlier shift to a caesarian could have saved Nixon's life. An even earlier elective caesarean, while carrying its own risks, would have seen "little to no likelihood" of the baby's head becoming lodged in a similar fashion.
"I knew that every time I saw a consultant, I told them that I wanted to have a caesarean," Simone says.
"I feel a lot of guilt now because I feel like maybe I should have been more aggressive, maybe I didn't advocate for myself well enough but then I sort of have to take a step back and (think) 'how aggressive do you need to be?' "
It's March 20, 2017, and Simone's midwife, whose name has been suppressed, is on the stand in the Coroners Court in Brisbane, being grilled about her role in the death.
An autopsy found the baby's skull most likely fractured when the woman used two fingers, instead of the recommended cupped hand, in an "understandable" attempt to free the baby's head.
Early reports on the inquest focus heavily on the midwife's role but Mr Lock finds no fault, saying she should never have been put in that position, and Simone agrees.
When the midwife is done with her evidence, the bereaved mother rushes outside to comfort her, give her a hug.
"That broke my heart because she was certainly not at fault and even before the findings came out, I never blamed her," Simone says.
"She was put in this situation where she did the best that she could with the skills and the knowledge that she had.
"To see her give evidence was heartbreaking."
The inquest hears evidence the RBWH had a culture of preferring vaginal births to c-sections.
Mr Lock ultimately rejects the notion but for Simone her autonomy as a pregnant mother, or lack of it, is at the heart of everything.
She feels like she wasn't listened to, something borne out to at least some extent by the evidence of independent specialist obstetrician Dr Robert Lyneham.
He tells the court patient autonomy is "extremely important" but almost everyone asks for a c-section in the second stage of labour, and his comments wouldn't apply to a woman at this stage.
Sarah Atkinson, medical negligence principal at Maurice Blackburn, the firm that represented Simone at the inquest, says patient autonomy is a much wider issue.
"So I think it used to be quite a paternalistic relationship where the doctor knew best and the doctor made the decisions for the patient and the patient just went along with them and probably quite often was not even consulted," she says.
"And I think there's been a gradual shift to greater patient autonomy but I think sometimes it's not got sort of far enough."
It's July 2015 and Simone is "terrified", 34 weeks pregnant with Knox but she's lost what she describes as the "innocence" of not having a first child.
The "traumatic" scenes of Nixon's birth come back to her - pushing and pulling, voices, the feel of her body.
It's PTSD, she says, the smell of a hospital immediately bringing her back.
The Tonkins go private this time, with an obstetrician, midwife and even psychologist on board to help them through.
"Once I saw Knox, it was obviously such a huge relief," she says.
He's almost two years old now but his big brother's death still leaves a shadow and Simone wants to change the medical community's approach to consulting with patients.
"You can't dismiss how someone feels just because they're in labour," she says. "We're not neurotic, pregnant mums. We know our bodies. We have intuition."
Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital Clinical Director of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Associate Professor Karin Lust said the hospital had overhauled its maternity services since 2014.
"In rare and unusual events such as these, it's important that we look at what could have been done differently," she said, in a statement.

ATLANTA -- There's been resounding response to the now-viral story of a local gym's "no cops" policy since 11Alive first posted it online, Tuesday.
Many expressed outrage after a sign, with profanity, appeared in the window of the EAV Barbell Club in Atlanta. But there was one response that was unexpected -- a local cop who's challenging the owner of the gym to a boxing match.
PREVIOUS | Atlanta gym owner makes no apologies for 'No Cops' sign
In an email sent into 11Alive's newsroom, Tommy Lefever said he'd like to challenge the gym's owner, Jim Chambers, to a match at an upcoming boxing event. So, we reached out to Lefever to talk to him about the offer.
"He seems like he might enjoy getting the opportunity to punch a cop in the face and I'd be happy to oblige him and give him that opportunity," the Fayetteville, Georgia resident said.
According to the Jim Chambers, who owns EAV Barbell Club, has had the "No Cops" or military personnel policy since it opened. Chambers, a lifelong political activist, told 11Alive he defends the controversial policy. He said groups who work out there are generally minorities who are uncomfortable with the presence of law enforcement agents.
"It was really just that the vulgarity in that sign, and that seems to bring it out for people," he said.
PHOTOS | Georgia gym posts controversial sign
The story sparked the idea with Lefever, who asked to keep the department he works for anonymous. He told 11Alive's Chris Hopper he understands the challenges police officers face in 2017. But, the seven-year police veteran said he hopes the boxing match will change Chambers' mind.
"I found, you sweat, you bleed with somebody, you exchange punches with somebody in a sport like boxing, it's hard not to respect the guy for getting in there with you afterwards," he said.
UPDATE | 'No cops' backlash spills onto 2nd Atlanta gym
While it may not be duked out as Ali versus Foreman's "Rumble in the Jungle," Lefever said it's not about breaking a nose, but about bridging a gap.
"Gaining mutual respect for one another in the boxing ring might be the start of something that can help overcome differences in world view, ideology, what have you," he said.
So, will it work?
Who knows. But Lefever said the challenge is on the table.
"There's more work to be done, and I'd love to, if there's anything I can do to help make that connection, then it's totally worth it to get in the ring with a guy and make it happen."
Chambers laughed when 11Alive told him about Lefever's offer. He said he wanted to know if it would be a fair fight before he accepted. Meanwhile, Lefever said he'd love to start a conversation and see where it goes.

Zinc oxide is an ingredient in many products, including certain creams and ointments used to prevent or treat minor skin burns and irritation. Zinc oxide
This is for information only and not for use in the treatment or management of an actual poison exposure. If you have an exposure, you should call your local emergency number (such as 911) or the National Poison Control Center at 1-800-222-1222.
See also:
Alternative Names
Desitin overdose; Calamine lotion overdose; Zinaderm overdose; Amalox overdose; Azo 22 overdose
Poisonous Ingredient
Zinc oxide
Where Found
Zinc oxide may be found in many different products, including:
- Zinc oxide ointment
Diaper rashmedications Hemorrhoidmedications
- Skin lotions
- Calamine lotion
- Caladryl lotion
- Sunscreen lotion
- Cosmetics
- Paint
- Rubber goods
- Paper coating
Note: This list may not be all-inclusive.
- Chills
- Yellow eyes andyellow skin
- Stomach pain
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Cough
- Fever
- Mouth and throatirritation
Home Treatment
If the person swallowed a lot of zinc oxide, immediately give the person water or milk. Do NOT give water or milk if the patient is vomiting or has a decreased level of alertness.
If the chemical is on the skin or in the eyes, flush with lots of water for at least 15 minutes.
If the chemical is breathed in (inhaled), move the person to fresh air.
Call your doctor or poison control.
Before Calling Emergency
Determine the following information:
- Patients age, weight, and condition
- Name of the product (as well as the ingredients and strength, if known)
- Time it was swallowed
- Amount swallowed
Poison Control, or a local emergency number
The National Poison Control Center (1-800-222-1222) can be called from anywhere in the United States. This national hotline number will let you talk to experts in poisoning. They will give you further instructions.
This is a free and confidential service. All local poison control centers in the United States use this national number. You should call if you have any questions about poisoning or poison prevention. It does NOT need to be an emergency. You can call for any reason, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Take the container with you to the hospital, if possible.
What to expect at the emergency room
The health care provider will measure and monitor the patients vital signs, including temperature, pulse, breathing rate, and blood pressure. Symptoms will be treated as appropriate.
Expectations (prognosis)
Zinc oxide is not very toxic (poisonous) when you mistakenly eat it. Most of the harmful effects come from breathing in the gas form of zinc oxide at industrial sites in the chemical industry. This leads to a condition known as "metal fume fever." Metal fume fever involves a metallic taste in the mouth, fever, headache, chest pain, shortness of breath, and other symptoms, which suddenly start about 4 to 12 hours after exposure.
Either way, long-term recovery is very likely.

A while back someone posted that Kam Man Market in Quincy, Massachusetts was a good source of bento boxes and gear and they were so right!
Kam Man has a market and separate Asian goods department store that has an entire section of bento. The boxes are inexpensive too: most are $1.99 or $2.99. There is also a good selection of tools and accessories. I found a wiener cutter, picks, oval food cups made from foil, packs of green plastic sushi dividers, bento size chopsticks, sauce bottles, bands and bento forks. In the cookware section a tamagoyaki pan can be had for $9.99. There is an entire floor-to-ceiling aisle of rice cookers. The house wares section has beautiful and inexpensive Asian dinnerware in every style. The only downside is that the store is a bit of a jumble and many of the bento boxes have been removed from their packaging so be sure you don't buy a box that has been pilfered. I wish I had gone to Kam Man before I spent $15 on a box shipped from Hong Kong! The same box at Kam Man would be $5.00.
The supermarket is pretty big and all of the major Asian cuisines are represented (they are a bit sparse on Indian though.) Their Japanese items include a good selection of basic pantry items like ponzu, Japanese brands of soy sauce, bonito flakes, nori, furikake, goma shio and togarashi. It's not as extensive as the late, great Kotobukiya but still much better (and cheaper) than what you'll find in a regular American supermarket. The Kam Man supermarket is also cleaner and better organized than Super 88 in Boston.
Both stores are in a mall that includes an Asian bank, travel agencies and fun boutiques. My daughters always want Bubble Tea when we go there. The parking lot is a mad house and Asian families from all over the Boston area shop there so it's a busy place.
It's a very fun place to shop.

Volume 17, Number 51 | May 13 - 19, 2005
Since 2002, Anne Aghion, center, an independent French filmmaker, has undertaken three documentaries on the mass murder of Hutus and Tutsis in the Rwandan genocide of the 1990s.
French filmmaker tackles genocide
Anne Aghion is completing her third film on the Rwandan killing fields
By JERRY TALLMER
There may have been 800,000 slaughtered in the Rwanda genocide of 1994; or there may have been 300,000, or any number in between.
Does it really make any difference? A slaughter is a slaughter, a genocide is a genocide, killing fields are killing fields; you might as well try to count bloody hoes and machetesfavorite Hutu murder weaponsas dead Tutsi sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, wives, husbands, aunts, uncles, grandparents, great-grandparents
statistics, not people.
And when 16,000 of some 100,000 accused killers are released from lockups across the land and trickle back homeback to the fields and hills and grasslands where Hutu and Tutsi lived and still must live side-by- sidewhat then?
I didnt want to do it, says Abraham Rwamfizi, a man who has admitted to killing a few of his Tutsi in-laws and may have killed dozens of other Tutsis. I didnt want to do it. I saved one of the two children.
They made you do it, says a big-eyed, rather clumsy looking Tutsi kid, listening in. Youre not a bad fellow. And others echo this nullity. Cant be helped. Must live with it. Life goes on.
Suddenly a movie-viewer thinks, The whole of Rwanda, all these bloody or bloodied people, are stoned. Benumbed. Post-traumatized.
The Rwandans, Hutu and Tutsi, are saying these things into the camera and microphones of a small crew headed by producer/director Anne Aghion. In New York for a while before another working trip in Rwanda, she turns out to be a buoyant, vital, dark-haired East Village resident who was born in Paris, and whose two unpretentious films about Rwanda cover ground not covered in, for instance, the somewhat bigger-budget Hotel Rwanda.
Youre right, Anne Aghion said over a cup of coffee. I think they very often are like a people stoned. I agree. Im not a trauma expert, but experts watching these films see signs of very basic trauma. I think these people in Rwanda are exhausted.
Whats interesting, she continued, is that a few weeks ago I went to show the films in Haiti, a poor, traumatized country. But the people there were incredibly full of energy, in total contrast with Rwanda.
You have to remember that Rwandas a very particular situation. Theres never going to be a Hutu land and a Tutsi land. Theres Rwanda, and thats very different. Other than that, the mechanism [of the Rwanda genocide] was very similar to what happened in the Holocaust.
Aghions films are Gacaca: Living Together Again in Rwanda (2002) and In Rwanda We Say: The Family That Does Not Speak Dies (2004). Gacaca (GaCHAcha) was and is the name of a system of investigative, pre-prosecution community hearings throughout the Ntongwe district of Gitarama prefecture.
A third Rwanda film by herconcentrating on the trials themselvesis just about to get under way. She estimates itll take four trips and 15 weeks to shoot. Then comes the editing. Fifty or 60 hours of footage had to be boiled down to 52 minutes for film number one. Seventy hours were cut to 55 minutes for number two.
Her crews consist of a sound person from New York, two camera people (one a Rwandan), an interpreter/driver and Aghion herself, who speaks no Kinyarwanda, one of the official languages.
For all that, she addedwith good humor and a touch of American slangIve become an important person in that little neck of the woods. I think the people there are happy to talk with me; are honored that were working on this. Of course some of them also get very angry.
She deliberatelyby a process of eliminationpicked an area in Rwanda that was farther away from the main roads or media exposure. How many people were killed right there?
Not very many, but I dont think I can answer that question with any accuracy. There are about a hundred districts in the country, and in Ntongwe, which is smaller than a U.S. state, the population today is 55,000. A good guess on the number killed throughout Ntongwe would, she said, be 25,000 to 30,000.
Of those, how many Hutu, how many Tutsi?
I dont have a clue. Before the genocide, ones ethnic group was printed on ones I.D. card, but that aided the genocide and has now been abolished. This Hutu/Tutsi business is a very interesting thing. Its nothow do I say this?even Rwandans make mistakes in trying to identify one another.
One remembers a long-ago film called King Solomons Mines in which the Tutsi were all as tall as basketball players, or taller.
Aghion has never seen that movie, but yes, the prototypical Tutsis are as tall as basketball playersexcept that, because of intermarriage, some Hutus are very tall as well.
There is of course a sociological and historical background here.
When the Germans were driven out in World War I, the Belgians, who came in and took over, found a very complex social situation, Aghion explained. The Tutsis were pretty much chiefs, but not always. The Belgians said: Lets simplify things. Lets have the Tutsis run the place. They beat the Tutsis into running the place, and the Tutsis beat the Hutus.
The Belgians had brought in the Catholic Church, and then in the 1950s the Belgians and the Catholic Church changed gears overnight. They decided you cant have a minority [the Tutsis] running a majority [the Hutus]. They started denigrating the Tutsis, and in all this the Catholic Church played a very ugly role, working with the [anti-Tutsi] militia.
The first pogromsthe first massacreswere in 1959, and 35 years later led to the genocidemainly in one direction [Hutus killing Tutsis].
During all her time in Rwanda, Aghion never felt physically threatened. Never
Her three films about Rwanda come bracketed between Se le Movio el Piso (The Earth Moved Under Him), a 1990s portrait of various layers of destruction in Managua, Nicaragua, 25 years after the 1972 earthquake, and the movie she will make after her third Rwandan filma documentary about Antarctica toward which shes just been awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship.
The name Aghion stems from the Sephardic. Her father, an engineer, was a French Jew who had started life as an Egyptian Jew. Her American mother died when Anne was still a child.
From a Paris lycée I came to Barnard, where I did four years in two and a half years, got a B.A. in Arabic, then lived in Cairo for a couple of years, then back to Paris for eight or 10 years, working for The New York Times and the Herald Tribune on the news side and the business side, Aghion said.
It was the esteemed filmmaker Richard Leacock who gave Aghion her first movie cameraand it got stolen. But she had decided to make a filmthe one on Guatemalaand I did. It was seen by about 500 people, but it got a prize at the Havana Film Festival, and Im very proud of it.
How do you jump from Rwanda to Antartica?
By taking a cheap berth on a cruise ship from southern Chile, around 10 years agoa ship on which five scientists heading back for Antarctica were hitching a ride. I spent 10 days listening to their stories, and helped them unload their two tons of gear and all that stuff. I want to make a film about what motivates a person to make that choiceand once they make that choice, how do they deal with it?
We know how Anne Aghion deals with it. She makes movies.
