REPORTAGE - Zum grossen Problem gewachsen: Heroinsucht in Ohio
Heroin In The Heartland
As heroin addiction rises across the U.S., Ohio has become an epicenter of the crisis, with the corridor between Cincinnati and Dayton hit especially hard. According to there CDC, nearly 1,000 people in Ohio alone died from overdosing on heroin in 2013, it was a 41 percent increase from the prior year, and there are few signs the crisis is slowing. People of all races and classes are turning to the highly addictive drug, which has replaced painkillers as the drug of choice. It is cheaper and easier to buy; in some areas, residents say their neighbors deal it out of their windows. Addicts are all races and classes but the most visible are young white women, partly because they often become street prostitutes to support their illness. But incredibly sad and dark stories are found across Hamilton and Butler counties, the district of former House Speaker John Boehner: couples giving up their babies to stay high, young women and grandmothers who prostitute themselves dozens of times a day to make money to buy hits. Seeing the devastation, some local churches have jumped in to offer a haven for desperate addicts in some of the most violent neighborhoods of America.
CANDACE GREENE, 33, a prostitute and heroin addict, needs to have at least 10 customers every day to pay for her heroin addiction. Greene, a former nurse, began using and selling oxycontin after she broke her ankle in her 20s, then moved to heroin, which she found to be cheaper and easier to acquire.

The men of Storrs Street, the heart of Lower Price Hill neighborhood in Cincinnati, an epicenter of a growing heroin crisis across the U.S. Considered one of the most violent three blocks in the country, the street comes to life at dusk, when hundreds of heroin dealers-known as 'dope boys'-come out for business. Most are independent dealers and armed, and they compete for the stream of customers who drive and walk by all night long.

She says she has overdosed five times, and tried rehab at least five times, but it has never worked. She was raised by her grandmother in the Upper Price Hill neighborhood of Cincinnati, an epicenter of a growing heroin crisis across the U.S.

Wilmington, Ohio, U.S. - NICK VAMOS, 20, who said he was a heroin addict for two years before becoming sober 22 days ago with the help of Jesus Christ, worships at the final 'Hope Over Heroin' concert. With Ohio at the epicenter of a national heroin crisis, two musician-preachers, Billy Price and Lawrence Bishop II, began the concert series to minister to addicts and their families with music, clinical and spiritual resources - what the preachers call the 'power of Jesus' to break addiction.

A baby gorilla that captured the world's heart has turned one
Gladys the baby Western-Lowland gorilla who captured the world's heart last year, after keepers at Cincinnati Zoo stepped in and hand-raised her, turns one today.
To celebrate, keepers created a gorilla birthday cake and Gladys responded the way most one-year-olds do - face first.
Because gorilla diets do not consist of sugary frosting, commissary keepers at the Cincinnati Zoo got creative and baked a cake using two layers of rice, raisin, banana, sweet potato, and biscuits, topped with pureed banana and sweet potato and decorated with a variety of fruit, including pomegranates, lemons and grapes.
Gladys was born in January last year at the Gladys Porter Zoo in Texas; however, her mother didn't respond well after the birth and rejected the infant.
Gladys Porter Zoo had to quickly find a surrogate mother and the Cincinnati Zoo was determined to be the best home for the baby.
Primate Curator at the Cincinnati Zoo, Ron Evans said: "People often ask me what it was like to go through this experience with Gladys and I can honestly tell them that it was unlike anything I have experienced in my 30 years here. It was the best experience of my life and something I hope we never have to do again."
Since June, Gladys has been slowly introduced to four adult female gorillas. The first, "M'Linzi", quickly stepped up and became Gladys' surrogate mum. Since then, "Mara", "Samantha", and "Chewie", have joined the growing group. Eventually, staff plan to introduce a silverback gorilla to this group.

Primate Curator at the Cincinnati Zoo, Ron Evans said: "People often ask me what it was like to go through this experience with Gladys and I can honestly tell them that it was unlike anything I have experienced in my 30 years here. It was the best experience of my life and something I hope we never have to do again."
Since June, Gladys has been slowly introduced to four adult female gorillas. The first, "M'Linzi", quickly stepped up and became Gladys' surrogate mum. Since then, "Mara", "Samantha", and "Chewie", have joined the growing group. Eventually, staff plan to introduce a silverback gorilla to this group.

A baby gorilla that captured the world's heart has turned one
Gladys the baby Western-Lowland gorilla who captured the world's heart last year, after keepers at Cincinnati Zoo stepped in and hand-raised her, turns one today.
To celebrate, keepers created a gorilla birthday cake and Gladys responded the way most one-year-olds do - face first.
Because gorilla diets do not consist of sugary frosting, commissary keepers at the Cincinnati Zoo got creative and baked a cake using two layers of rice, raisin, banana, sweet potato, and biscuits, topped with pureed banana and sweet potato and decorated with a variety of fruit, including pomegranates, lemons and grapes.

Top Guns: The Best U.S. Air Force Pictures of 2013
These stunning images show a year in the life of the largest air force in the world.
The United States Air Force has operations all over the world and enlisted photographers are there to capture the action.
The service's specialist Airman magazine has curated the most impactful imagery from 2013 for a special issue entitled 'Year in Visuals'.
As would be expected, the gallery features awesome images of aircraft, but there are also personal military stories including a striking image of Capt. Candice Adams Ismirle preparing for cancer radiation treatment, while Staff Sgt. Ron Blodgett is shown in tears as he embraces his son after returning from a deployment in Southwest Asia.
Managing editor Tech. Sgt. Chris Powell explains: "We pride ourselves on publishing the powerful imagery and videos Air Force photographers and broadcasters produce every day. These professionals travel the world, sometimes putting themselves in harm's way, to bring you the visual story from an Airman's perspective.
"Our goal is to make you feel as close to the story as possible, being right there with Airmen providing security in Afghanistan, a team of Airmen hiking the highest mountains on Earth or showcasing the Air Force's many aircraft co...

Baby Gorilla moves from Texas to Cincinnati Zoo, Ohio, America - 25 Feb 2013

A four-week-old, female, baby gorilla born at the Gladys Porter Zoo (GPZ), in Texas was transported over the weekend to Cincinnati Zoo in Ohio.
Baby Gorilla Still Smiles After Being Rejected By Mother
Baby Gorilla Still Smiles After Being Rejected By Mother
A gorgeous four-week-old gorilla travelled to a new zoo over the weekend because her mother has been ignoring her.
Born at a South Texas zoo last month, the western lowland gorilla moved to Ohio at the weekend to be introduced to a troop at Cincinnati Zoo, where it is hoped she will bond with two adult female gorillas kept there.
The baby who is still unnamed, managed to crack a smile at Cincinnati Zoo's Primate Team Leader, Ron Evans and Nursery Head Keeper, Dawn Strasser despite the circumstances.
The pair accompanied the adorable gorilla on the flight and Strasser said: "The baby was great, she never left my arms."
The gorilla was born at the Gladys Porter Zoo (GPZ), in Brownsville, Texas, to parents 14-year old Kiazi and a 28-year-old silverback male named Moja.
Officials from the Texas Zoo who have been hand-rearing the gorilla since January 29, said: "The mother just ignored her and walked away; every once in a while there's a female that does that."
Initially, the baby will spend time behind the scenes in Cincinnati Zoo's Nursery to make sure she is healthy and doesn't bring any contagious illnesses into the Gorilla World exhibit.
Once the vets give the infant a clean bill of health, she will move to her more permanent home at the zoo.

Cheetah cub and puppy play together, Cincinnati Zoo, Ohio - 10 Sep 2012

Unlikely Friends: Cheetah and her Puppy Playmate
Cats and dogs are usually thought of as obvious enemies - but for one young cheetah and her canine companion, life as friends has never been better.
Max the 13-week Labrador mix is pictured giving his best friend Savannah the cheetah cub a wet kiss on her nose as they race back and forth, playfully pinning each down.
The pair live together at Cincinnati Zoo in America and are part of the zoo's Cat Ambassador Programme, which sees all their cheetahs have dog companions.
Spokesperson for Cincinnati Zoo, Tiffany Barnes explains the idea behind the programme: "In Africa, Anatolian Shepherd dogs are being given to farmers to live with their live stock. This breed of dog is unique in that it devotes itself fully to whatever it is raised with, so the pups are given to the farmers at a young age.
"Cheetahs, being skittish animals, will do as they typically do and hunt the farmers live stock. But, when they hear the dog barking they will run away, which saves the farmer from having to shoot the cheetah."
The zoo says Savannah and Max will always live together in the Cheetah Encounter; they are great friends and will help to spread the message of cheetah conservation and saving endangered animals.

Unlikely Friends: Cheetah and her Puppy Playmate
Cats and dogs are usually thought of as obvious enemies - but for one young cheetah and her canine companion, life as friends has never been better.
Max the 13-week Labrador mix is pictured giving his best friend Savannah the cheetah cub a wet kiss on her nose as they race back and forth, playfully pinning each down.
The pair live together at Cincinnati Zoo in America and are part of the zoo's Cat Ambassador Programme, which sees all their cheetahs have dog companions.
Spokesperson for Cincinnati Zoo, Tiffany Barnes explains the idea behind the programme: "In Africa, Anatolian Shepherd dogs are being given to farmers to live with their live stock. This breed of dog is unique in that it devotes itself fully to whatever it is raised with, so the pups are given to the farmers at a young age.
"Cheetahs, being skittish animals, will do as they typically do and hunt the farmers live stock. But, when they hear the dog barking they will run away, which saves the farmer from having to shoot the cheetah."

I'm in a rush so make it snappy! This turtle shows no fear as it hitches a ride on the back of a 5ft alligator. The red-eared slider turtle shares a zoo exhibit with the Chinese alligator at the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden in America. And despite the fearsome reputation of alligators the two reptiles have become firm friends.The alligator and its hitchhiking friend were snapped by photographer Connie Lemperle. According to staff who look after the animals it's quite normal to see the lazy turtle riding on his pal's back.

Nia the cheetah and Cali the puppy become friends, Cincinnati Zoo, Ohio - Nov 2009
It is not often you see cats and dogs in such close harmony, but Nia the cheetah and Cali the puppy are the best of friends.
The two youngsters were bought together in September by Cincinnati Zoo's Cat Ambassador Program.
The program, which educates people about wild animals and conservation, pairs a cheetah cub with a canine puppy for the cheetah's first year.
Nias two siblings did not survive so, as cheetahs usually have three to five cubs, it was decided to help socialise the lone cat by pairing her with Cali.
"We would love to raise baby cheetah's together, that is the best case scenario," explains Kathy Watkins, cat ambassador trainer with the Cincinnati Zoo. "Unfortunately Nia's other two siblings did not survive and that is the reason she is being hand raised. The reason we adopted a puppy was to help raise and socialise our new cheetah cub."
