PHILADELPHIA—The Liberty Bell, on permanent display here at Philadelphia's Independence Mall, is known for its famous fracture. The bell was cast in London in 1751, and cracked on its first test ring. The bell was molten down and recast in Philadelphia, and rang from the Pennsylvania State House, now known as Independence Hall, for close to 100 years. A second crack formed years later, and the bell eventually was decommissioned, taking on the symbolic significance it has today, inspiring movements to abolish slavery, for women's suffrage and others.
The Democratic National Convention here this week also is inspiring many, in movements for LGBTQ rights, gun control, and racial and economic justice and beyond. But as the first woman in U.S. history is nominated to be the presidential candidate of a major party, a deep split in the Democratic Party has emerged. Sen. Bernie Sanders conceded to Hillary Clinton and endorsed her candidacy, but many of his supporters have not. Hundreds of them walked out of the convention as Clinton's nomination was formalized Tuesday night.
Cheers and applause filled the Wells Fargo Center. While thousands went wild, several hundred, well, just went. Chanting "Walk out, walk out" and "This is what democracy looks like," 300 Sanders delegates, including many from Vermont who were standing with Sanders moments before, marched out of the arena and proceeded to the media tent to demonstrate their disagreement with the process and announce the "No Voice, No Unity" campaign.
Many Sanders delegates cited issues on which they strongly differ with Hillary Clinton, from her earlier support for the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and not knowing where she stands on it today, to her coziness with Wall Street, to her consistent support for ever-widening wars in the Middle East.
The walkout also was fueled by leaked Democratic National Committee emails that were posted online by WikiLeaks just days before the convention. Some of the emails proved that the DNC, and its chairperson, Congressmember Debbie Wasserman Schultz, actively worked to disparage Sanders and his campaign. The emails led the headlines all weekend; by Monday, Wasserman Schultz had announced her resignation as DNC chairperson. Bernie Sanders had for months accused the Democratic National Committee of bias in favor of Clinton throughout the campaign. Now his supporters had proof, and many carried signs that read "Rigged" as they walked out.
The Liberty Bell was decommissioned because of a barely visible hairline fracture. The famous crack in the bell was actually made on purpose, in an attempt to repair it. The Democratic Party has an enormous challenge now, to unify its members to defeat one of the most bigoted and divisive, some say fascistic, presidential candidates in modern U.S. history, Donald Trump. The party has a very deep and visible fracture. The question remains whether they can repair the crack in time to defeat Trump.

'Unrealistic' UK Causing Post-Brexit Trade Impasse, Says France
September 1, 2020 September 1, 2020 EurActiv 0 Comments
By EurActiv
By Benjamin Fox
(EurActiv) — Talks on a post-Brexit trade deal between the EU and the UK have stalled "because of the UK's uncompromising and, to be frank, unrealistic attitude" France's Foreign minister Jean-Yves Le Drian warned on Monday (31 August).
Le Drian was speaking at a meeting of French ambassadors based in Europe, alongside his German counterpart Heiko Maas, whose country holds the EU's rotating presidency.
Although UK officials had hoped that the German presidency would increase pressure on the European Commission's team led by Michel Barnier to make further compromises, the trade talks appear to have hit a stalemate.
Instead, the rhetoric from both sides has become much tougher in recent weeks.
The UK says it wants to reach agreement on a draft trade pact by the end of September, while a mid-October European Council summit has been earmarked by EU officials as the last opportunity to get sign-off at heads of state level and allow a deal to be ratified in national parliaments and the European Parliament before the end of 2020.
The UK will leave the EU's Single Market at the end of 2020 and trade between the two will be conducted under World Trade Organisation terms unless a new trade agreement can be finalised in time.
But, in a further sign of the impasse between Brussels and London, a debate on the state of the negotiations was reported to have been shelved from the agenda of a meeting of EU ambassadors this week, with German officials blaming the lack of progress.
Last week, German Chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters that "the crucial weeks are now approaching in which we have to clarify the future relationship between Great Britain and the EU,"
Following the seventh negotiating round on 21 August, Barnier again expressed disappointment and surprise at the UK's stance, complaining that London had not offered compromise proposals on state aid and fisheries, two of the issues where the sides remain most divided.
He also repeated that finalising a deal this year remained "unlikely".
Meanwhile, Barnier's UK counterpart David Frost has hinted that he would recommend a 'no deal' outcome if the EU continues to insist that the UK remain aligned to EU rules on state aid and on a new fishing arrangement that gives EU trawlers access to UK waters comparable to that offered by the Common Fisheries Policy.

Q: unable to change git credentials I recently signed up with github to gitlab account.I was pushing the projects earlier with some other user's credentials but now I want to use my own github account.
I changed the user name and email with
 git config --global user.name <myusername>
 git config --global user.email <myemail>

Well I can push as myusername now but the activities i do don't reflect in my profile.Infact they are reflected in the previous user account mentioning Authored by <myname> while contributions are shown under his name.
When I open my account my contributions are none.
I checked out on the other posts about removing windows credentials but my device hasn't stored any git credentials.I am not able to get what is the problem and how to solve this.

A: First, set your remote URL with the right user account in it:
cd /path/to/my/local/repo
git remote set-url origin https://myGitLabAccount@gitlab.com/myGitLabAccount/myrepo.git

Second, check your git credential helper:
git config credential.helper

If set, that helper should prompt you for your GitHub password, and cache it.

I decided today to bake. A clementine and pomegranate cake which is gluten-free. But before that, I thought a salad would be in order to balance things out. As well as the baking I have fallen passionately in love with these Buddha Bowl type eats. Shallow round bowls of goodness with veg, protein and carbs. So much fun to make and photograph and then of course eat! Try doing one for yourself; you can either follow the recipe as per below OR just create your own with your favourite foods. If you do make one, be sure to put the #eatlivebalance so I can admire it and for a chance of a repost on my Instagram account. The sun is trying so hard to give us Spring today in London. I would welcome that with open arms right now! I try to buy organic as much as possible. I realise that sometimes the price of organic food is prohibitive, but even if it is only one item, my goal is to try and eat something organic at every meal.
Get some water boiling in a pan. Add the black bean noodles/pasta and cook according to the packets instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside and keep warm.
Put a little oil a frying pan. Meanwhile, season the fish with pepper. Then once the oil is nice and hot, fry the salmon for 2 minutes per side or until the fish is cooked to your liking or set it aside (keep warm).
Add the peas to the pan which you cooked the fish in. Pan fry them for 2-3 minutes or until cooked. Pop them in a small bowl with a plate on top to keep them warm and then set them aside.
In the same pan add the Pak Choy and the mushrooms and cook over a high heat for about 2 minutes. Add the ginger and the garlic cook for another minute and then add them to your buddha bowl. Add the chopped coriander and chopped red chilli to the peas, season if required, toss together and then add them to your bowl along with the mushrooms and the Pak Choy mixture.
Lay the fish in the serving bowl, sprinkle over some chilli flakes. Using a fork twist the noodles into the bowl ( I find it makes it look better for presentation) and then sprinkle over the black sesame seeds. Add the cucumber to your serving bowl along with the roasted white sesame seed.
Mix the roasted sesame seed oil together in a mug with the rice wine vinegar and a good amount of cracked black pepper. Whisk together and then drizzle over everything.

A firm which has a factory in Scunthorpe has set up an apprenticeship scheme aimed at recruiting the next generation of food entrepreneurs.
The 2 Sisters group, which employs 1,200 people at its site on the Foxhills Industrial Estate, has launched the programme as it looks to find, develop and retain workers in the food industry.
Nationally, the company expects to take on 300 apprentices through the scheme by the end of its first year.
The apprenticeship programme has been acclaimed by the National Skills Academy for Food and Drink (NSAFD) as a trail-blazer for setting up standards for the industry.

The apprenticeship courses are aimed at a mix of new starters and existing colleagues at sites across the UK, including in Scunthorpe.
Graham Green, the chief engineer at 2 Sisters, said: "As an innovative food producer we are constantly looking to find, develop and retain talent within 2 Sisters.
"The engineering apprenticeships have been the best way to draw the best candidates and we are committed to working with the Humberside Engineering Training Association (HETA) to develop leaders of tomorrow.

"We are one of the bigger employers in our local area and are proud to say we have a large number of apprentices, both new and existing colleagues, currently undertaking training."
The NSAFD's chief executive Justine Fosh said the company had played a pivotal role in setting industry standards and developing new apprenticeships for critical areas of skill needs such as food technology and operations.

Janette Graham, the spokeswoman for 2 Sisters, said: "This is an exciting time and the apprenticeships will enable us to showcase the food industry as a top career destination for young people and promote the roles within our business that have become difficult to recruit.
"The next generation of food entrepreneurs will have a fantastic opportunity to carve out a pathway and develop a stimulating and impressive career in the food industry."

Heart Failure Deaths Climb in Younger Adults, Study Says
African American men and women face a greater risk compared with white population, researchers find.
Heart failure–related deaths are increasing for those under 65, according to a new study, and African American men and women are at greater risk.Sean Locke/Stocksy
Heart failure is a major public health problem that mostly affects the elderly. While heart failure–related deaths were dropping two decades ago, the numbers have started creeping up since 2012, with a noticeable increase among those under 65, according to new findings.
Research published in May 2019 in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology points out that the rise has been most dramatic among African Americans.
Scientists calculated that the heart failure–related death rate among Americans ages 35 to 64 in 2017 was 2.6 times greater for African American men compared with white men and about 3 times more for African American women compared with white women.
"More than one-half of black adults have hypertension and high rates of obesity and diabetes, which may explain a portion of the disparities in heart failure mortality," says study author Sadiya Khan, MD, assistant professor of medicine at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and a Northwestern Medicine cardiologist in Chicago. "Beyond differences in risk factor prevalence, disparities in access to care unfortunately contribute to both inadequate prevention and diagnosis. We need to do better in terms of access to care for all Americans."
A Leading Cause of Death and Disability
About 5.7 million Americans are living with heart failure today, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and about one-half of those people are expected to die within five years of diagnosis. With this condition, your heart has not stopped working but it isn't working well enough to supply healthy amounts of blood and oxygen to other parts of the body.
Results from this analysis were based on death-certificate data collected by the CDC on 47,728,569 individuals who died between 1999 and 2017. The overall number of U.S. adults ages 35 to 84 who died from heart failure initially declined from 79 deaths per 100,000 people in 1999 to 54 deaths per 100,000 people in 2012. After that point, however, the rate began inching higher, hitting 59 deaths per 100,000 in 2017.
For this study, investigators focused on the differences between whites and African Americans, and excluded other ethnic groups. Among adults through age 84, they noted that in 1999 heart failure–related deaths were 1.16-fold higher for African American men compared with white men, but that risk disparity escalated to 1.43-fold higher for African American men in 2017.
Similarly, African American women began with a 1.35-fold higher risk of heart failure death compared with white women in 1999, but that rose to a 1.54-fold higher risk by 2017.
Why the Trend Is Greater Among African Americans
"These statistics don't surprise me," says Sarah Samaan, MD, a cardiologist with Baylor Scott & White Legacy Heart Center in Plano, Texas. "Heart failure is often a consequence of untreated hypertension or cardiovascular disease. Obesity, poor diet, and sedentary lifestyles are very likely the drivers of this unfortunate trend."
The CDC notes about 40 percent of all American adults are obese, but African American women have the highest rates of being overweight or obese compared with other groups in the United States, according to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health. About 4 out of 5 African American women are overweight or obese.
In addition, many African Americans live in communities where access to healthcare is limited, according to Dr. Samaan.
"So diagnosis of hypertension and other predisposing conditions may not happen until they present with the more severe health consequences, including heart failure, heart attacks, and strokes," she says. "Mistrust of the healthcare system, often based on historical inequities in treatment, may also cause some people to avoid doctors and medication until it is too late."
RELATED: Common Symptoms of Heart Failure and How It's Diagnosed
Learn to Lower Your Risk for Heart Failure
Although more research is needed to better understand the disparities in heart failure mortality and the factors that may be contributing to these differences in outcomes, Dr. Khan stresses that heart failure is preventable.
"While we don't know all of the drivers of changing mortality rates, we do know that aggressive risk factor management is critical," she says. "Talk to your doctor, check your blood pressure, and know your risk for heart failure."
Khan advises that this is especially critical for black men and women, who have the highest mortality rates from heart failure.
With heart failure–related deaths only expected to rise in the years to come, the country appears to be backsliding in terms of health, according to study authors. They highlight how policy measures that focused on blood pressure and cholesterol control, and smoking cessation helped lower heart disease–related deaths between the 1970s and 2010.
"Given the substantial mortality burden of heart failure [today], population-wide policy measures are urgently needed to eliminate racial disparities and target individuals earlier in life for heart failure prevention," they conclude.

Police investigate after a woman was found shot to death early Saturday morning in the Nicetown section of Philadelphia. Photo by Joe Kaczmarek.
Philly remains behind the curve as more and more US cities experiment with combining innovative violence prevention with more traditional law enforcement. GunStat (targeting hotspots with crime data) reduces gun crimes through mass arrest and incarceration. It avoids prosecuting addicts, but it remains a Drug War tactic, as most gun users targeted are caught up in hustling. Wouldn't an alternative to incarceration that empowers communities to control their own violence through evidence-based training in street outreach and conflict mediation be a worthy piece of city social programming to complement law enforcement efforts? It's worth serious consideration, as the gun issue remains impossible to solve through incarceration and impossible to address through the legislative process.


This exceptional and rare antique George III sterling silver mug has a plain tapering cylindrical form onto a circular spreading foot.
The anterior surface of this quart* mug is embellished with a bright cut engraved coat of arms displaying on a chevron between three stag heads, three bugle-horns stringed beneath a crest depicting a dexter arm embowed grasping an arrow.
The lower portion of the body is encircled with a plain girdle.
The mug is fitted with an impressive S scroll handle with a plain thumbpiece; the handle is struck with the maker's mark as to be expected.
The handle is embellished to the upper portion with the contemporary bright cut engraved initials 'PSH'.
This impressive mug was crafted by the renowned Newcastle silversmiths Robert Pinkney and Robert Scott II; due to the limited number of items crafted by these makers in the first instance, fine examples such as this are becoming increasingly scarce.
This antique quart mug is an exceptional gauge of silver, excellent quality and is in excellent condition.
There are two minor dings to the handle; this does not detract from the aesthetic appearance of the piece.
The maker's mark to the handle is clear in keeping with age and location.

Commissioned by First Presbyterian Church of Jackson, CDFL was tasked with developing a master plan that would accommodate the church's growth. The church was expanding rapidly and the physical plant was unable to contain its growth without realignment. CDFL led First Presbyterian's planning effort, successfully setting up expectations and plans for the church's anticipated growth. The plan included an expansion of the school as well as a building strategy that would more fully carry out the church's missions.
Most recently CDFL was commissioned to provide long range planning services. Our team worked with church and school staff to review the existing strategic plans to verify current programs, services, and ministries as well as identify new programs, services, and ministries. One of the primary components of this facility planning process was the physical plant assessment.
With a CDFL produced digital model of the physical plant and plans field verified we then moved into inventorying spaces and identifying those spaces' size and use. Further studies were performed to assess space allocation for each of First Presbyterian's major programs, the Day School and Christian Education. With the space audits, assessments, and studies complete, the scope of work shifted to identifying additional space needs, developing benchmark comparisons for future growth, evaluating space needs guidelines, and projecting new and existing space requirements. The final component of this work will assist the church in identifying their facility use priorities based on projected needs.
CDFL has developed a method of best practices used to help clients in need of long range planning accomplish their organization's goals.

The Washington and Lee University's Department of Theatre, Dance and Film Studies presents the W&L Repertory Dance Company's winter concert in a program of multifaceted dance works created by nationally renowned choreographers.
Performances will be March 17-18 at 7:30 p.m. and March 19 at 2 p.m. in the Keller Theater, Lenfest Center for the Arts. Tickets are required.
This concert of seven works contains the work of four guest-artist residencies that occurred throughout the year. Choreographers Charlotte Boye-Christenson, Autumn Belk, Sarah Jacobs and Faith Levine each spent three days on campus offering master classes and then giving their work to W&L dance students to prepare for the winter concert.
Boye-Christensen's work, "Key," is a tribute to Glenn Gould, one of the most celebrated classical pianists of the 20th century.
Belk's dance, "Coiffure," was inspired by the 1923 book "Art and Fundamentals of Hairdressing," in which three women ponder the significance of hairstyles in the 1920s as they lounge on a luxurious settee and flip through the latest Vogue.
Levine's work, "Disjecta," provides a window to the internal politics of the contemporary art world.
Elliot Emadian '17, who will attend an M.F.A. dance program this fall, will perform a solo he created last summer at the American Dance Festival. Based on interviews conducted with dancers and personal experience, his work looks closely at gender stereotypes and uses comedy to teach broader lessons in acceptance.
The evening wraps up with a new work-in-progress by Artistic Director Jenefer Davies. "La fenêtre" focuses on café culture as a center of political, social and cultural life. It explores the dynamics of conversation and debate and the blurring of the distinctions of class and social status.

The IST-FET Integrated Project Sensoria aims at developing a novel comprehensive approach to the engineering of service-oriented software systems where foundational theories, techniques and methods are fully integrated in a pragmatic software engineering approach. Process calculi and logical methods serve as the main mathematical basis of the Sensoria approach. In this paper we give first a short overview of Sensoria and then focus on process calculi for service-oriented computing. The Service Centered Calculus SCC is a general purpose calculus which enriches traditional process calculi with an explicit notion of session; the Service Oriented Computing Kernel SOCK is inspired by the Web services protocol stack and consists of three layers for service description, service engines, and the service network; Performance Evaluation Process Algebra (PEPA) is an expressive formal language for modelling distributed systems which we use for quantitative analysis of services. The calculi and the analysis techniques are illustrated by a case study in the area of distributed e-learning systems.
This work has been partially sponsored by the project Sensoria, IST-2 005-016004 and by the DFG project MAEWA.


Three Torah scrolls this Shabbat: One for the regular weekly reading, Miketz; one for the 6th day of Chanukah; and one for Shabbat Rosh Hodesh, the beginning of the month of Tevet. Other additions: Hallel (Ps. 113-118), a special prayer for Chanukah, maybe another psalm or so…You get the idea. Long service.
Back to the Joseph story, part 2 of four. Pharaoh dreams of 7 emaciated cows swallowing fat ones, yet remaining thin. Then he dreams of 7 withered ears of grain swallowing 7 full ears yet remaining withered. The chief wine steward tells Pharaoh about Joseph. After getting a shave, bath, and decent clothes, Joseph accurately interprets the dreams as meaning 7 years of plenty and 7subsequent years of famine and outlines a plan for minimizing the effects of the famine. Pharaoh, impressed, puts Joseph in charge as Viceroy, second only to him. Joseph becomes Zaphenat-Paneah, dresses like an Egyptian, and marries an Egyptian woman, with whom he has two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh.
Back in Canaan, Jacob is still very much in charge and his sons seem, frankly pathetic in their dependence. They are also haunted by what they did to Joseph. Two years into the famine, the 10 oldest brothers come to Egypt to buy food. Recognizing them, Joseph decides to test them (this reads sort of like a cat "testing" a mouse) and holds Shimon hostage, while secretly returning their money, until they return with Benjamin. Jacob finally lets them return, with some diplomatic gifts, the money, and Benjamin. After a lovely visit, Joseph plants his silver divining chalice in Benjamin's sack. Cliffhanger: Will the brothers try to save Benjamin and prevent more paternal heartbreak? Or will they leave Benjamin in Egypt as Joseph's slave?
"Originally, Hanukkah was a nationalistic celebration of the Maccabees' military victory over the armies of King Antiochus IV of the Seleucid Empire. It celebrated Israel's return to sovereignty under the rule of the Hasmonean Dynasty.
"The rabbis of Talmud were the first to redefine Hanukkah. They downplayed the story of military victory and promoted Hanukkah as a celebration of God's power (not the power of the cruel Hasmoneans, whom they hated). They promoted a story about a miracle – one involving a cruse of oil – that occurred when the Temple was rededicated at the end of the Maccabees' war.
What occurred was a nasty civil war between assimilationist Jews who were happily adopting Greek practices and religiously zealous Jews who thought the assimilationists went way too far. Similarly, Joseph is faced with issues about assimilation. He is very visible in Egypt. He dresses and acts like an Egyptian, yet maintains his Hebrew identity and will later ask that his bones be carried back to Canaan. Over the next few weeks, we'll get to see how Jacob and his sons adapt to Egypt.
A: It kept on repeating OOOOMMM!
Q: Why doesn't Sweden import cattle?
A: They have a good Stockholm.
When archaeologists sift through the debris of a vanished culture, they should consider the ancient climate. It can shed light on the bygone habitat and give plausibility to old myths. It can also give a useful perspective on our own climatically uncertain times.
Take the biblical tale of Joseph. The famous seven-year cycle of feast and famine appears to be one of Egypt's regular routines, according to Dmitri Kondrashov, Yizhak Feliks, and Michael Ghil at the University of California at Los Angeles.
The ancient Mayans on the Yucatan Peninsula could have used such wisdom. Their once-flourishing civilization collapsed between AD 750 and 950. Many archaeologists suspect that prolonged drought was the precipitating cause.

Yes, I know the current term for the special nine-branched candelabrum used for Chanukah is chanukiah, חַנֻכִּיָּה , as opposed to the 7-branched menorah used in the Temple; but it is also called מנורת חנוכה menorat chanukah, i.e., Chanukah menorah. The Chanukah menorahs below have been posted at several websites.

Final Fantasy XIV Online: Endwalker
Final Fantasy XIV Online: Endwalker - Review
So far, the latest expansion seems to prove that Shadowbringers wasn't a fluke.
byLeif Johnson
Posted Dec. 10, 2021, 4 p.m.
In the early hours of Final Fantasy XIV's latest expansion, Endwalker, a character listens to a tale of the many ordeals her friends had gone through while she was away. Trembling with emotion, she says through tears, "It was worth it. It was all worth it." I'm maybe halfway through Endwalker's story and at level 88 out of the new level cap of 90 so far, but that's about how I'm feeling right now, too.
Somehow, Final Fantasy XIV only continues to get better after its 2013 reboot, and the stories I've witnessed over the last two days do much to justify the eight years I've spent with Eorzea's merry band of adventurers. Having gasped, cried, and laughed my way through much of the main quest, I'm ready to believe I'll still be saying all those hours were worth it when I reach Endwalker's conclusion sometime this weekend. (But let's not jump to that conclusion just yet: I'm still burned by Season 8 of Game of Thrones.) I do wish I were a little farther along, but Square Enix's decision to delay the official launch of Endwalker, combined with conflicts in my own holiday schedule, means I still have a lot of walking to do before I reach the end of my leveling journey.
By some measures I certainly could have been further behind, but luckily I've dodged most of the stunningly long queue times that have been shared recently on social media. I log on early and play late, so the worst I've seen for my home server of Ultros is around 1,500, save for one incident when the whole server briefly went down at prime time. Afterward, I managed to log on while the queue was still at a relatively agreeable 2,000, but some members of my free company (or "guild," if you prefer) had to wade through an 8,500-person queue for hours. I thought about logging off then just so I could get video footage of that number for the final review but decided against it. No regrets.
At least it's easy to see why so many people are scrambling to log on. 2019's Shadowbringers expansion definitively proved that FFXIV deserves to be taken as seriously as any mainline Final Fantasy game, and from what I've seen of Endwalker's story so far, it's well on track to be Shadowbringers' equal. (I currently hesitate to say it surpasses it just yet, although several members of my free company have no qualms about making such claims.)
Frankly, I've spent most of the last two days sitting through cutscenes.
Square Enix seems to have interpreted Shadowbringers' success as proof that its players are interested in a good story above all else, and it shows in Endwalker. Frankly, I've spent most of the last two days sitting through cutscenes – I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say I probably only went into combat around 15 times from levels 80 to 83 aside from my daily dungeon roulettes, and even then I was usually only tasked with dispatching a handful of popup enemies on my way to somewhere else. The total running time of these cutscenes already outpaces entire seasons of some popular TV shows, and now, at level 88, I get the feeling that I'm not even halfway done with the story.
While this might sound excessive on paper, it actually largely works in practice. It's such a flex because no other MMORPG could pull this off so successfully. The best storylines of its competitors often earn damning praise along the lines of "It's good for an MMO," but Final Fantasy XIV – especially in its latest expansions – manages to deliver an ongoing story that even outclasses many stellar single-player games. And although you have the option to skip over some of Endwalker's cutscenes, I have to wonder why you're really playing FFXIV in the first place if you do.
What We Thought About Final Fantasy XIV: Shadowbringers
Shadowbringers weaves such a beautiful tale that it's tough not to gush about each and every strand of it individually. There might be some awkward job balancing changes here and there, but the fumbles are never enough to take away from how magnificent this expansion is as a whole. I arrived a stranger in Norvrandt, but I left as one of their own as even the simplest quests drew me in and made me truly care about the story being told there. Shadowbringers has only further solidified XIV's status as one of the greatest Final Fantasy games ever made. - Kyle Campbell, July 12, 2019
Read the full FFXIV: Shadowbringers review
As a reminder, unless you've paid for a booster from the cash shop, you can only progress through FFXIV's story if you've played through the entire main storyline that came before it. Square Enix knows that if you've made it this far – literally hundreds of hours later – you're invested in these characters. And with the phenomenal writing of Natsuko Ishikawa back on board after Shadowbringers, Square Enix is making sure that journey has been worth it.
In Endwalker, I'm seeing plotlines that have been in motion for the better part of a decade resolved and extended and in ways that leave me craving more. As but one example, Endwalker features an annoyingly one-note antagonist known from other expansions who tends to leave me rolling my eyes whenever he appears. Here, for the span of an hour or two, I was truly terrified of him in a quest that turned FFXIV's usual dynamic on its head.
I was truly terrified of Endwalker's antagonist in a quest that turned FFXIV's usual dynamic on its head.
At the most basic, Endwalker's tale centers on FFXIV's main characters as they continue to investigate forboding towers popping up across the planet while trying to thwart the Ascians in their goal to destroy the world. The story follows Shadowbringers' so organically that I sometimes feel it's better described as a massive patch expanding that story and answers many of the questions it raised – perhaps too well, at that. In fact, I'm a little worried, as the story so far implies that all the constants that have defined FFXIV story until now are rolling to a halt, which raises the question: Where does FFXIV go from here? World of Warcraft faced a similar ordeal in the aftermath of its otherwise excellent Legion expansion, and at this point I think it's safe to say that it's still struggling to recover.
Part of Endwalker's narrative strength lies in the fact that there are simply some great moments between key characters here. The story so far emphasizes the timely importance of working together for the common good, but it's also mature enough to step back from rah-rah optimism and show the darker sides of that approach. Without spilling spoilers, though, I'll say that I'm currently questioning if certain characters are being used to best effect, but I'll wait until I've reached the story's end before making that judgment.
Endwalker's cutscene-heavy approach works so well because it avoids some of the ridiculous scenarios of WoW.
But more importantly, Endwalker's cutscene-heavy approach works so well because it avoids some of the ridiculous scenarios MMORPGs like World of Warcraft often come up with to justify slaughtering everything in sight. It succeeds in part because it lets us see these characters as real people who have believable spats with their parents or who refuse to believe there's no ulterior motive for some acts of kindness. Mindless fetch quests are almost entirely absent; Endwalker instead is (perhaps overly) fond of quests in which you follow NPCs without being noticed. When you fight, there's usually a good reason for it. When it does ask you to search for something, it feels necessary.
And to my shock, Endwalker consistently comes up with new ways to keep all this interesting. Just when I think everything's going to be okay for our little band of heroes for a bit, Endwalker drops a twist that sometimes leaves me saying, "Oh, damn!" It's like Square Enix is daring you to skip out of some of its 20-minute-plus cutscenes without seeing what happens at the end. If you do, there's a good chance you'll leave while seeing happy, smiling faces and reenter the world to find yourself smack in the middle of a calamity with no idea of how you got there.
So much happens in Endwalker, in fact, that mentioning any of the new zones aside from widely known locales like Sharlayan and Thavnair feels like a spoiler. (I'm honestly a little stressed thinking about how I'm going to make a good video review without ruining too many surprises.) It's almost as though Square Enix looked at a list of places that had been mentioned in the story but never visited and decided to tick all those boxes. As always, FFXIV managed to make good use of its aging graphical foundations to make these new zones impressive, but as befits an MMORPG that's heavier on the RPG side than MMO side, it paints the best understanding of these locales through interactions with their inhabitants.
I'm excited to get back to them and continue enjoying the unforgettable world Square Enix has created here. I'm especially fond of all the quality of life changes, including a less annoying rotation for my Samurai's AOE abilities and the inclusion of minimaps for city aethernet networks. I still need to finish the story, and I haven't had a chance to try out the new Reaper and Sage combat jobs yet aside from grouping with people who play them in dungeons.
But for now, I'm happy to see that Endwalker's heavy emphasis on spinning a good yarn hasn't come at the expense of making dungeons and trials too easy. I'll be back with my full thoughts about Endwalker in the next week or two once I earn the right to fly through the new zones, level crafting skills, and try to figure out just what the heck is going on with the ability rotation for the new Sage job. Judging from the threads I've read, you have to be a real sage to play it.
Packed with hours of meaningful cutscenes and unforgettable new zones, Endwalker marks a satisfying conclusion to Final Fantasy XIV's story as it has existed to date. While it doesn't introduce many new gameplay elements, it does deliver two new excellent DPS and healing jobs that should appeal to both new and experienced players and includes some of the best boss battles we've seen in this decade-old game. If this is how Final Fantasy XIV's showrunners end a story, then I'm more than ready to walk with them from the beginning to the end of the next one.

Proper positioning of the patient during the operative period is important for optimal surgical exposure and outcome.
Understanding the pathophysiologic changes and special considerations associated with each position helps reduce positioning-related morbidity.
Improper positioning during surgery can lead to spinal cord ischemia, postoperative peripheral neuropathies, muscular sprain injuries, ischemic injury to skin and muscles, and visual loss.
Perioperative peripheral nerve injuries are the second most common cause of professional liability among anesthesiologists.
New and advanced surgical procedures (robotic) may involve unconventional and extreme positioning techniques, necessitating better understanding of the physiologic consequences of positioning and enhanced vigilance to prevent injury to the patient.
Male gender, extremes of body habitus, and prolonged hospitalization are risk factors for postoperative peripheral neuropathies.
A thorough assessment of risk factors for complications related to positioning should be an integral part of the preoperative evaluation.
As part of the informed consent, risks and benefits associated with positioning should be discussed with the patient.
Description of intraoperative positioning techniques and measures taken to prevent injury should be documented in the anesthetic record.
Familiarity and understanding of the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) Task Force on Prevention of Perioperative Peripheral Neuropathies may help with minimizing the problems associated with positioning during the perioperative period.
Special attention needs to be paid to minimize the potential for visual injuries in high-risk patients during the perioperative period.
A report by the ASA Task Force on perioperative blindness is an excellent source of current information and consensus expert opinion on this devastating problem.
The term surgical posture or positioning in the perioperative context denotes the body position in which a patient is placed for the surgical procedure. The main purpose of "positioning" is to maximize anatomic exposure for the surgical procedure. In Epidemics, Book I, Second Constitution, Hippocrates advised primum non nocere, "to first do no harm." Thus intraoperative positioning should make surgical exposure ideal while optimizing patient safety. In spite of anesthesia-related morbidity secondary to inadequate ventilation and oxygenation improving as a result of better physiologic monitoring and ASA standards on minimum monitoring, complications secondary to positioning are on the rise. Many problems arising from positioning such as peripheral nerve injuries fall under the legal doctrine of Res ipsa loquitur. This Latin phrase literally means "the thing speaks for itself" and implies that the injury sustained is so evident that it would not have occurred without negligence from someone else. Thus the plaintiff needs only to prove the injury. In cases of res ipsa loquitur, the burden of proof falls on health care providers to prove their innocence (ie, the care provided was not negligent). Therefore, safe intraoperative patient positioning is crucial, and a clear protocol must be in place and followed by all members of the perioperative team.

Carl DeMaio GOP Ad Featuring Same-Sex Partner Might Be Political First
Published February 13, 2014 at 2:25 PM PST
Nicholas McVicker
Carl DeMaio attends an election night party for Kevin Faulconer, Feb. 11, 2014.
Carl DeMaio: A New Generation Republican
A few seconds of a campaign video posted on YouTube turned the national spotlight Thursday on San Diego congressional candidate Carl DeMaio.
According to Republican Party officials and a political advertising expert, the 88-second video is the first they can remember of a candidate from either party that includes a same-sex partner, the Wall Street Journal reported.
The clip shows the former city councilman and onetime mayoral candidate holding hands with Johnathan Hale during a San Diego Pride Parade in 2012.
DeMaio is openly gay and has not hid his relationship with Hale, who publishes San Diego Gay & Lesbian News.
The clip -- which could be included in a future television commercial -- is followed by a couple seconds of DeMaio holding up a rainbow flag.
He's running as a GOP candidate to unseat Democratic Rep. Scott Peters, D-San Diego. Peters defeated incumbent Republican Brian Bilbray in a close election in 2012 and the seat is considered vulnerable this year.
The ad is titled, "Carl DeMaio: New Generation Republican." The tone of the video includes lines such as "the possibilities of a better day" and "a new approach for a new time." The female narrator describes DeMaio as a "problem solver who isn't afraid to be different."
Over the clips with Hale and the rainbow flag, she says DeMaio "believes in equality and diversity, and is a defender of our personal freedoms."
In a statement, Peters said he applauds DeMaio "for being public about his committed relationship with Jonathan."
"No one should be discriminated against for who they are or who they love, something I, alongside my close friends in the LGBT community, have worked hard to help achieve for more than a decade," Peters said. "I pledge to continue this fight in every way that I can until everyone feels safe taking this step."
DeMaio is one of three openly gay Republicans running for Congress. The others are in Vermont and Massachusetts.

If you are a non-vegetarian, a meat grinder must be there in your kitchen. We all know the potential presence of carcinogenic chemicals in the outside processed junk food items. Therefore, a meat grinder will not only save you a lot of money but also your health. Moreover, you can get the right coarseness of the meat as there are multiple blades available for different coarseness.
The following is the list of the different meat grinder uses you should be aware of.
The basic application of a meat grinder is to grind meat of any type. Therefore, you can have fresh, juicy, and tender meats for your dishes anytime you want. The availability of different sizes of blades produces meat of different coarseness. This enables you to prepare all the dishes that you generally buy for outlets. Therefore, a meat grinder gives you the power to prepare almost any dish at your home kitchen.
Sausages are a regular item for the meat lovers and there are so many different dishes that you can make with sausages. With a meat grinder, you can prepare customized sausages with different meats of different coarseness. Then you can season the sausages and serve them on the platter to get the compliments of your friends and guests. If your meat grinder does not come with a sausage attachment, you have to buy one separately.
Just like making sausages, you can make the patty of a burger with a meat grinder. You can put in the meat of your liking as well as the amount of fat you want. You can also add a few drops of oil and spices. You have full control of the coarseness of the grinding as per your preference in a patty of a burger. All you have to do is make the shape of the patty once it comes out of the machine and fries it before serving with buns.
If you have pets at your home, you can grind the raw bones of the meats of any type with the help of meat grinder. Whether it is chicken, duck, rabbit, cow, goat or sheep, a meat grinder is ready for grinding everything. Your pets will have more ease eating the ground bones than whole pieces.
Here is another unorthodox meat grinder use whereby you can properly grind cookie dough at home. Everyone loves to eat cookies and most of the time, we buy it from the bakeries knowing they are unhealthy. With a meat grinder, you can prepare delicious, healthy cookie as you can mix all the ingredients with the cookie dough inside the meat grinder. Therefore, a meat grinder can take up the role of a dough mixer.
A meat grinder can be useful for vegetarian dishes. You can grind different types of vegetables with ease with a heavy-duty meat grinder. It comes handy when you prepare pickles and relishes. As a matter of fact, some of the chefs prefer a meat grinder over a vegetable mixer grinder. You can also throw in some spices while grinding vegetables for extra flavor and seasoning.
There are numerous meat grinder uses and benefits as we listed. Therefore, it is one of the most profitable kitchen appliances to have. You can also discover other uses on different ingredients as you keep on using it to make the preparation of amazing dishes easier.


Hours of my life spent removing wheels, punching out bearings, adjusting stiffness of the ride. Time not dedicated on the mechanics was devoted to imagining new designs for the most exciting intersection of transportation and adventure! Do you remember the first hobby that allowed you to unleash your creativity, learn mechanical skills and prepare for speeds far exceeding those your unaided feed could provide? The effort, time and dedication – all for a hobby encumbered by the harsh New England weather several months out of the year.
My first skateboard was a very used Vision Gator. As with most used decks, most of the graphics had worn off due to an appropriate amount of rail-sliding. The tail had been ground down exposing all seven layers of the plywood surface at a 45 degree angle. Likely this resulted from tail stops and efforts from the previous owner to learn how to jump manhole covers. There was a one inch long by 1/4 inch wide chip missing from the nose of the deck – undoubtedly the carnage from failed curb conquests. Even the grip tape was worn – peeling from the top side providing little traction. Moreover, as the glue lost integrity, this left a trail of breadcrumbs marking my tracks as little pieces of black sandpaper tore off with any aggressive shift in footing. It was far from perfect but it was cheap and it was mine!
The winter of 1989 allowed months of work sanding the deck, removing grip tape and ultimately making efforts to reproduce Vision's Gator graphics in vivid black and neon green paint. My hand not as steady as the original artist but the spring's unveiling was an order of magnitude better than the late fall's last ride. Eventually I would sell this deck and upgrade to a newer, flashier, better engineered board. Such changes would allow me to continue capturing excitement and feeding my creative passions.
Is it a surprise that as a grown-up I've found motorcycles?
The similarities between skateboarding and motorcycles are endless. They both symbolize freedom – you can get just about anywhere without depending on the help of others to enable your journey. You ride alone but can do so socially – next to other riders if you choose. Creativity is limited only to the mind of the builder or rider. You become a part of the device as it becomes an inseparable part of you. You move, it reacts and the more time you spend together the more intertwined your action and its reaction become. Lastly, both hobbies have clearly identifiable subcultures, clothing, language and destinations that are frequented by members of the culture and often avoided by outsiders.
After selling that original Vision Gator I went on to ride a dozen other decks (see the Mike Valleley Deck below), ruined many sets of Powell Peralta wheels and split countless Swiss Bearings. It's hard to say if my skateboard promiscuity really allowed more enjoyment than a monogamous relationship with my first would have granted.
Similarly, over the past decades many different motorcycles have found refuge in my garage. Each machine has been special in it's own right. My mid-west bobber with a persistent oil leak marking it's territory is reminiscent of the shedding grip-tape on my Gator. Or the Springer Softail adorned in a painted rendition of a tattoo forever marking my body – such a representation makes the separation of man from his machine unimaginable.
As we journeyed through the years of our childhoods, we were all influenced by different experiences. Creativity was abundant and avenues to apply our vision were limitless. Adventure was confined only to our own imaginations and desire to feel speed was an invariable reality for almost all children. We all have a never-ending desire to build something functional, beautiful, freeing us to experience a life unshackled. No matter where we started or what compelled our first motorcycle ride, the one immutable fact is that we all ended up in the same place with an uncontrollable passion for motorcycles and all the creativity they inspire!

Monday Morning Howl: Coyotes' Nightmare Season Continues
January 15, 2018 by Louis Pannone
Although they showed signs of improvement two weeks ago, the Arizona Coyotes took a few steps backward during their two games last week – let's dive right into what was a disastrous week of blown leads in the Valley of the Sun.
Two Blown Leads for Coyotes

After enjoying their bye week, the Coyotes got back to work on Friday night, when they hosted Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers at Gila River Arena. The well-rested 'Yotes jumped all over Edmonton early, as they chased starter Cam Talbot with two goals in the game's first 3:17. However, the Oilers came back to score two goals of their own later in the first period, and Darnell Nurse gave Edmonton their first lead early in the third period. Nurse's tally, his second of the night, was the eventual game-winner, as Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored a late empty-netter to give the Oilers a 4-2 victory – their first in regulation since Dec. 23.
The Coyotes then had a short turnaround before their next game, as they hopped on a flight to San Jose on Friday night for a matchup against the Sharks on Saturday. It was an interesting game in Silicon Valley, as both teams scored three goals in the first period. The Sharks took a 4-3 lead during the second period, but the 'Yotes scored twice in the third period to open up a 5-4 lead. They were just a single empty-net goal away from earning a victory, but San Jose defended their net and tied the game with just 15.8 seconds remaining before picking up a win in overtime on this goal from Marc-Edouard Vlasic:

Coyotes Looking to Get Back on Track
After Saturday's heartbreaking overtime loss in Northern California, the Coyotes will host the Sharks in Glendale on Tuesday night to complete the home-and-home between the teams. This will be San Jose's final visit of the season to Arizona – they picked up a 3-1 victory back on Nov. 22 in a game where Antti Raanta left with an injury in the first period. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:00 P.M. at Gila River Arena.
Arizona will then hit the road once again and will begin a short two-game road trip against the Nashville Predators on Thursday in the Music City. You'll remember that the Coyotes opened up the 2018 portion of their schedule against the Preds back on Jan. 4, and earned a come-from-behind 3-2 overtime victory in Glendale that night. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:00 P.M. local time (6:00 P.M. in Arizona) at Bridgestone Arena.

From there, the Coyotes will make the short trip westward to Missouri for a matchup against the St. Louis Blues. This has been a one-sided series in recent years – the Coyotes earned a point in their last meeting against St. Louis, but they're still 0-11-1 in their last 12 against the Blues. Puck drop is scheduled for 7:00 P.M. local time (6:00 P.M. in Arizona) in the Gateway to the West.
Pacific Division Roundup
Half of the Pacific Division had their bye weeks last week, and the Vegas Golden Knights still hold a seven-point lead in the standings despite having played just once since Jan. 7. Here's how Arizona's other division rivals fared last week:
Anaheim Ducks (20-15-9, 49 points)
Last week: 1-0-0 (4-2 W at LA)
Analysis: The Ducks picked up a big 4-2 victory over the rival Kings on Saturday night at the Staples Center, and earned their 20th win of the season in the process. Anaheim now has points in five of their last six (4-1-1) and is looking like a serious playoff contender in the West at this point, assuming they can stay healthy.
Player of the week: Ondrej Kase – 2 goals, assist, +1
This week: Mon at COL, Wed vs PIT, Fri vs LA, Sun vs SJ

Calgary Flames (25-16-4, 54 points)
Last week: 4-0-0 (3-2 OTW at MIN, 5-1 W at TB, 4-2 W at FLA, 4-1 W at CAR)
Analysis: Don't look now, but the Calgary Flames are on a roll – they've won seven straight games and have leapfrogged the Kings for second place in the Pacific. How far can goaltender Mike Smith take this team?
Player of the week: Mike Smith – 3-0-0 record, 104 saves on 108 shots (.963 SV%, 1.33 GAA)
This week: Sat vs WPG

Edmonton Oilers (20-23-3, 43 points)
Last week: 2-1-0 (2-1 L at NSH, 4-2 W at AZ, 3-2 OTW at VGK)
Analysis: Just when you write the Oilers off, they come back and re-insert themselves into the conversation in the Western Conference. They managed to keep themselves afloat with comeback victories over the Coyotes and Golden Knights last week, but will need to continue playing at a high level in order to leapfrog Dallas, San Jose, Chicago, Colorado, and Anaheim in the playoff race.
Player of the week: Darnell Nurse – 3 goals, assist, +3
This week: Sat vs VAN
Los Angeles Kings (24-14-5, 53 points)
Last week: 0-1-0 (4-2 L vs ANA)
Analysis: Los Angeles returned from their bye week on Saturday, but they came out flat, falling behind the Ducks 3-0 before losing 4-2 on Bob Miller Appreciation Night at the Staples Center. The Kings are just 4-6-2 since Dec. 9 and will need to get things going once again in a hurry – they've fallen behind Calgary for third place in the Pacific and have just a three-point cushion for a playoff spot.
Player of the week: Anze Kopitar – Goal, 2 shots, won 13 of 22 faceoffs
This week: Mon vs SJ, Thu vs PIT, Fri at ANA, Sun vs NYR
San Jose Sharks (22-13-6, 50 points)
Last week: 1-0-0 (6-5 OTW vs AZ)
Analysis: The Sharks allowed five goals to the Coyotes on Saturday night, but they scored six themselves and earned their 22nd win of the season in comeback fashion. San Jose is still in good shape in the playoff race, but they'll need Martin Jones to return to his early-season form, when he was a dominant force in net.
Player of the week: Joonas Donskoi – 2 goals, assist, +3
This week: Mon at LA, Tue at AZ, Thu at COL, Sat vs PIT, Sun at ANA
Joonas Donskoi, San Jose Sharks, Nov. 28, 2017 (Amy Irvin / The Hockey Writers)
Vancouver Canucks (18-21-6, 42 points)
Last week: 2-1-0 (3-1 L at WSH, 5-2 W at CBJ, 3-2 OTW at MIN)
Analysis: The Canucks will enter their bye week with a bit of momentum, as they picked up two big victories over the Blue Jackets and Wild to close out their week. They're still in second-to-last place in the Pacific, but Vancouver appears to have righted the ship after a rough stretch.
Player of the week: Henrik Sedin – 4 assists, +3
This week: Sat at EDM, Sun at WPG
Vegas Golden Knights (29-10-3, 61 points)
Last week: 0-0-1 (3-2 OTL vs EDM)
Analysis: The Golden Knights played just once due to their bye week, but they managed to maintain their seven-point lead in the Pacific by earning a 'loser point' against Edmonton. Vegas now will embark upon a stretch where 10 of their next 12 games are away from the friendly confines of T-Mobile Arena.
Player of the week: Reilly Smith – Goal, +2, 4 shots
This week: Tue at NSH, Thu at TB, Fri at FLA, Sun at CAR
With games against three of the Western Conference's better teams on tap this week, the Coyotes will have their work cut out for them.

Survivors: A World Away – news
The classic 1975-1977 post-apocalyptic BBC TV series Survivors

Category: Post-apocalyptic film
Network release 'Memoirs of a Survivor' on DVD
On 23 June 2014, Network released on DVD a brand new transfer of the 1981 post-apocalyptic film Memoirs of a Survivor. The movie directed by David Gladwell, and starring Julie Christie and Nigel Hawthorne, is an adaptation of a dystopian novel The Memoirs of a Survivor by Doris Lessing first published in 1974.
Julie Christie stars in an award-winning adaptation of Doris Lessing's famous dystopian novel. This complex, haunting science-fiction feature – screened in the Un Certain Regard section of the Cannes Film Festival in 1981 – is presented in a brand-new transfer from the original film elements in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.
Set in Britain at an unspecified point in the near-future, Memoirs of a Survivor tells the story of 'D', a housewife trying to carry on after a cataclysmic war that has left society in a state of collapse. Rubbish is piled high in the streets among near-derelict buildings covered with graffiti; the electricity supply is variable, and water is now collected from a van. 'D' spends her time examining her relations with authority, with the marauding gangs of brutalised children who roam the streets, and with Emily, the traumatised, orphaned teenager who is delivered into her care.

The Turtle Journal team, in partnership with Mass Audubon's Allens Pond Wildlife Sanctuary, hosted a release of 14 rare diamondback terrapin hatchlings on Thursday afternoon, 19 September. These perfect babies were rescued by TJ's Sue Wieber Nourse from a vulnerable nest dug by their momma in an Allens Pond overwash area on the night of 20 June (see Rare Turtle Babies Saved During Moonlight Rescue at Allens Pond Wildlife Sanctuary). After incubating in the Turtle Journal's rescue garden, eggs began to pip on September 10th and 14 hatchlings emerged on Lucky Friday the 13th (of September) 85 days later.
As folks gathered for the release, Sue Wieber Nourse was interviewed by EverythingWestport as she related the story of the hatchlings rescue and talked about the importance of conserving this threatened species of salt marsh turtles.
Before releasing these hatchlings into the nursery salt marsh immediately abutting their natal nesting site, Sue Wieber Nourse, staff of Mass Audubon and Allens Pond, and MAS friends and volunteers gathered for a group photograph, each holding a baby for release.
People turned around and tucked their hatchling under the dense marsh vegetation. Then quickly, before these babies disappeared for the next three years of their lives to hide from a vast host of predators, everyone snapped a parting snapshot of their special hatchling. It doesn't take too long to bond with these precious little cuties. Once again, diamondback terrapin hatchlings prove their vital role as ambassadors for wildlife and the conservation of coastal ecosystems.
Mass Audubon's Allens Pond Wildlife Sanctuary in Westport, Massachusetts offers good habitat for threatened diamondback terrapins, including abundant nesting areas within its expansive dunes and a rich salt marsh nursery. The Turtle Journal team in partnership with the Allens Pond staff has been monitoring this area for several years with the goal of locating and protecting terrapin nests to reverse the population decline in Buzzards Bay. The sprawling geography of Allens Pond, fragmented by private cottages and roadways, creates a significant challenge for researchers. In this exciting case, the quest to save baby terrapins was also handicapped by nighttime darkness.
As Allens Pond coastal waterbird monitor Pete Deichmann patrolled the dunes and shoreline on the evening of June 20th, he caught sight of a female terrapin scratching the sand around dusk. Pete immediately called the Turtle Journal team via cell phone. Sue Wieber Nourse responded to Pete's call and she sped to Westport from Marion as darkness enveloped the South Coast. Before venturing into the night to locate the nest in the deserted coastal dunes, Sue documented the female terrapin that Pete had hand-captured. A new capture, Terrapin #6 from Allens Pond was blind in her left eye. She weighed 969 grams after dropping her eggs, and her carapace (top shell) measured 7.25 inches long.
Now comes the challenging part of this night's adventure. A waxing gibbous moon had risen over Buzzards Bay offering an exquisite backdrop, but little illumination, to guide the night's rescue. Based on experience, Sue knew predators would be fast on the prowl, and the longer it took to recover these vulnerable eggs, the more likely hungry mammals would reach them first. Pete had found Terrapin #6 on a high tide nesting run in an isolated sandy overwash. Even knowing its general location, finding the exact spot of the disguised nest itself among acres of homogenous sandy dunes … at night, by flashlight alone … would be a needle-in-a-haystack trick. Yet, with Sue's turtle expertise and Pete's knowledge of the terrain, they discovered the undisturbed nest before predators reached the site.
Nightfall magnifies the magic of turtle rescues. The unseen surf thunders in the background. Stars shimmer in the darkness, and the glow of a gibbous moon transforms a once familiar landscape into haunting mystery with hints of wispy shadows. Under dim moonlight Sue probed the nest blindly with her fingertips; she gently located the egg chamber to confirm a clutch of freshly laid terrapin eggs. Sue assessed that these eggs were extremely vulnerable to both tidal overwash and depredation with a near zero probability of survival.
Sue harvested 14 pinkish eggs, gently packed them in moist sand for safe transportation and brought them to the Turtle Journal headquarters. Sue dug a nest in the TJ rescue garden similar to the one that Terrapin #6 had dug at Allens Pond. Sue gently filled the nest with the eggs and the natal sand she had retrieved from Allens Pond. She covered the nest with a predator excluder cage to ensure that these eggs could incubate in perfect safety, completing the nest relocation around midnight.
On September 10th, after 82 days of incubation, Don Lewis and Sue Wieber Nourse checked on the progress of these babies. They discovered that several of the eggs had "pipped;" that is, the hatchlings had scratched through the eggshell with their egg tooth, and had begun shredding the egg with their powerful tiny claws. Don and Sue reburied the nest because it usually takes three to five days after pipping for the hatchlings to emerge.
Sure enough, on the morning of Lucky Friday the 13th, three days later, the Allens Pond babies dug an emergence hole to the surface and scrambled for the sunshine. Of the 14 eggs, every one had successfully hatched. A 100% hatch rate!
On September 19th, these 14 beautiful, healthy babies will return to Allens Pond for release. They will have beaten most of the odds against survival. As many as 95% of terrapin nests are destroyed by predators. Of the few eggs that naturally hatch, perhaps 1-in-250 to 1-in-1000 survive to adulthood. Most babies are picked off by predators as they try to reach the safety of their nursery habitat where they must hide for their first three years of maximum vulnerability. So, these lucky Friday the Thirteenth babies have been given a huge boost to survival and the terrapin population of Buzzards Bay has been equally helped with a new generation of healthy recruits.
