In 1974, a young woman’s mutilated body was found in the dunes in Provincetown. It was a terrible, grisly crime; her hands were missing and her head was nearly severed.

The mysterious case baffled investigators for nearly 50 years. trib.al/hAekAVN
It was one of the oldest cold cases in Mass. She was nicknamed “The Lady of the Dunes” because no one knew her real name— until today. She is Ruth Marie Terry. And here is a photo that the FBI released of her. trib.al/OL9zEdH An undated photo shows a portrait photograph of Ruth Marie T
For decades, investigators attempted to solve the mystery of who this woman was. Her body, buried in St. Peter’s Cemetery in Provincetown, was exhumed in both 1980 and 2000 in an attempt to ID her. trib.al/mbTdeK7

Of the 51 million tons of plastic waste US households produced in 2021, just 2.4 million tons (5 percent) were recycled, new research shows.

The findings show that plastic recycling is a “myth,” says the analysis by environmental nonprofit @greenpeaceusa. trib.al/hLhzaC5
Plastic, which is made from fossil fuels, is notoriously difficult to recycle.

A major reason: There are thousands of varieties of the material, each with its own chemical makeup, that require meticulous sorting to be processed. trib.al/hLhzaC5
Hundreds of millions of tons of plastic are produced each year, which is a major problem for the climate:

“If plastics were a country, they would be the fifth largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the world,” said Lisa Ramsden, senior plastics campaigner for @greenpeaceusa. Four empty, crushed plastic bottles against a white backgrou

There are 14 luxury “survival” condos in an undisclosed location in Kansas, and they are available now to cash buyers only.

The price? $2.4 million for a full-floor unit; $1.3 million for a half floor, plus condo fees from $2,625 to $5,250 monthly. trib.al/64GeXN0
Built between 2010 and 2013, the condos generated interest from the start. By 2020, it finally got a test run, when families showed up from across the country and hunkered down, most for several weeks, when the pandemic struck. trib.al/64GeXN0
Some of the underground community’s amenities include:
- Saltwater swimming pool
- Rock climbing wall
- Movie theater
- Dog park
- Volcanic ash scrubber (to clean the air in case of a catastrophic eruption 900 miles away at the Yellowstone calderas) trib.al/64GeXN0

Can’t poop while traveling? Advice columnist Meredith Goldstein gets it.

She reached out to Alain Veilleux, a researcher at Université Laval who specializes in metabolism and intestinal microbiota, to explain what’s happening — and not happening. trib.al/EPwtjd6
🧻 We’re dehydrated.

“When we take a plane, the air is very dry ... and sometimes we drink less,” Veilleux said. trib.al/EPwtjd6
Veilleux said that unless we prepare, we might avoid water because it would mean going into a place to buy it.

But water is a big part of pooping. trib.al/EPwtjd6
