Atlanta School Cheating
'Unindicted Co-Conspirators'
Not To Be Punished
By Rhonda Cook - The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Those who opted for trial are a small fraction of the original 178 educators and administrators named in the governor's investigative report of teachers changing answers on the Criterion-Referenced Competency Test.
Thirty-five were eventually indicted. Eighty-three were named unindicted co-conspirators. Sixty of those were given immunity. Ten of them testified.
Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard accepted pleas to lesser charges from 21 of the 35 indicted. Eleven of them finished their misdemeanor probation sentences, which included community service while their former colleagues were on trial. The rest either have time remaining on their probation or have not completed all their required community service.
Retired teacher Lavonia Ferrell changed answers on students' standardized tests but she didn't plead guilty to any charges in the Atlanta Public Schools cheating case. Investigators did not charge Ferrell, who is now retired.
They also didn't charge Sharon Pitts, who admitted in a court document that she destroyed copies of an internal investigative report about teachers and administrators changing answers on student tests, or Kathy Augustine, who investigators said lied about helping former Superintendent Beverly Hall cover up cheating by teachers.
Pitts now heads human resources for public schools in Grand Rapids, Mich. Augustine runs a consulting business out of her metro Atlanta home.
But for 10 lower-ranking former administrators and teachers, even getting to spend another night at home could be years away. They took their chances by going to trial rather than admitting guilt or turning on former colleagues, and they face the possibility of 20 years in prison when they're sentenced today.
Some in metro Atlanta are upset about teachers who cheated being treated the same as someone who robbed a bank or ran a drug enterprise.
The difference in possible outcomes between those who were tried and those who were not strike many as unfair, but it is the way the justice system works: Cut a deal and you might be offered a chance to plead guilty to a lesser charge and get a lighter sentence, maybe even a chance to walk away. Demand a trial, and be ready to deal with heavy consequences.
Fulton County Superior Court Judge Jerry Baxter warned them early in the process they could pay a price for their choice to go to trial.
The 11 who were convicted now have to pay with prison time. Scott Smith, attorney for former Benteen Elementary School testing coordinator Theresia Copeland called that a "trial tax" for insisting on going to trial to seek a jury verdict. Copeland will be sentenced for one count each of racketeering and false statements and writings.
Two of the educators indicted did not accept pleas but did not go to trial. Hall was excused from the trial for health reasons, and she died last month, before the jury had begun deliberating. D.H. Stanton Elementary School principal Willie Davenport died of cancer a few months after she was indicted.
It's all within the district attorney's discretion "as to whom they will charge and whom they will not," said Georgia State University law professor Russell Covey.
Sometimes evidence is lacking or prosecutors made a deal in exchange for information. Also, Covey said, prosecutors "might believe the interest of justice might not be served by prosecuting that individual."
Howard declined to discuss why anyone was or was not indicted early on. But the indictment of those charged refers to school employees who "admitted to cheating but have not been charged due to their confessions, cooperation and truthful testimony."
The only mark against those who cooperated is the label "unindicted co-conspirator" that will forever be theirs, said attorney George Lawson, who represented Michael Pitts, a former regional administrator who is scheduled to be sentenced Monday.
"If they were truly co-conspirators… they go unscathed," said attorney Akil Secret, who represented now-convicted former Deerwood Academy assistant principal Tabeeka Jordan.
The specific impact that 'unindicted co-conspirator' label had on many of them is hard to gauge. Almost all attempts to get comments from them were not successful. Messages weren't returned. Phones had been disconnected. And a few declined to talk, saying they had new careers or new lives and wanted that troubled time to remain in their past.
Stacey Smith, one of the unindicted co-conspirators, was a third-grade teacher at Usher/Collier Heights Elementary School when she cheated, she testified. Smith now teaches at an area Head Start program. She cried while she testified, explaining she had been new to education, scared, and wanted to fit in at Usher/Collier Heights.
Smith couldn't be reached for comment.
At least one unindicted co-conspirator continues to teach at an Atlanta elementary school, and others are in classrooms at schools throughout the metro area and the state, according to state and APS records.
Two are teaching in other countries. Former Finch Elementary School teacher Sharona Thomas-Wilson is in Dubai, and former Benteen Elementary School Diana Quisenberry is reported to be in Southeast Asia, according to their attorneys.
Those who did not face prison time are trying to move on.

So, most of these who cheated were not charged.
What message does this lack of having to face consequences send to children today?
Cheating by altering grade averages and test scores in today's education system is rampant? Even in private schools. At one private school at which I worked, the grades submitted by the teachers were "bumped up" by the school's directors. We teachers had no control over the averages on the report card.
Furthermore, we were forbidden to give any student below a B -- because a C or lower "would negatively impact the students' applications" to the local magnet school. For the 1996-1997 school term, I worked one year at that school because of the contract I had to sign to get the teaching job, then walked away. Best-paid job I ever had -- with full benefits, too!

Remember Truth or Consequences? So what happens to the former when you remove the latter? Oh well...
In America, and the World, its become all about kissing the gatekeepers ring!
ALL that matters, is that you keep on kissing it.

Our children's education is too important to be left in the clumsy, corrupt hands of government bureaucrats.
Ado about nothing. Of all the problems our educators face with our poor kids today, this is about the least I can think of. They should have gotten a slap on the wrist.
Another government failure, wasting money, cheating society and letting our children down...
Nothing to see here folks, avert your eyes, move along
Jersey: YOU and people like you are what's wrong with America
LOL! What the f'n hell have any conservatives ever done, Silver? You stupid cons destroyed the middle class and then complained the schools weren't working anymore. You're cannibals. History will record today's American conservatives as cannibals of the American Dream. Useless.
A Republican New Yorker with a Brain April 14, 2015 at 7:14 AM
Jersey, you've avoided addressing the point of the article. Do you REALLY think it's "no big deal" that a huge number teachers and administrators COLLUDED to DECEIVE the pubic and their ostensible "bosses" into believing they were achieving worthwhile goals in education when in fact they were not?
If children and adolescents are permitted to FAKE their WAY to promotion and graduation, because teachers are unable or unwilling to TEACH them anything worth knowing, that means that taxpayer funded "education" in that particular district is a FARCE –– a SHAM –– a FRAUD.
I can't see anything that could be MORE of a "Big Deal" than THAT, frankly.
Why do YOU feel we should dismiss this very real concern so lightly?
Not to mention the impact on the students' themselves! They, no doubt, got pass on -- lacking the necessary skills for the next level. At some point, they must have reached a level and failed precisely because of the collusion to cheat, that collusion being on the part of the administration and teachers previously in charge.
I wonder if any of the students committed suicide? I actually know a student who did just that, and his suicide note excoriated the education system. He had been passed on a social basis through high school, thought that he could handle college, and failed miserably.
Silverfiddle April 14, 2015 at 8:31 AM
Jersey: What have conservatives done? Homeschooling and school vouchers. Two ideas that provide escape and hope for parents with children trapped in crummy, government-union schools.
Equality to leftists like you is that we all are equally miserable in a government shit-filled toilet swirling downward (except for the liberal elites, who send their kids to private schools)
You're all a bunch of red-assed hypocrites.
Les Carpenter April 14, 2015 at 8:39 AM
Jersey, while Ithere is validity in your remark about conservatives and the decline of the middle class the subject issue, cheating, faking it, unearned promotion, sub par teaching, really should be discussed and viewed as a ethical issue. It is wrong to cheat, it is unethical to promote a student when unearned, and it does send the wrong message to students; that it okay to fake it and to accept unearned recognition.
The quality of Our future as a nation competing in the global economic environment depends on the quality of the educarion and experiences our
youth are exposed to.
FreeThinke is right. it is abd should be a "Big Deal". Whether you're a liberal or a consevative.
BTW Jersey, anger alone will not solve this very real problem.
Finntann April 13, 2015 at 8:39 PM
We need more affirmative action, obviously white folk are being excluded.
§;-D=
The falsification of students' scores impacts the subsequent teachers and schools.
I've had something like that happen to me when the teacher of the previous grade sent to me some 30 students not equipped to handle the curriculum I was required to teach. An entire class of remedial students! I had to revamp entirely the plan for the year! I got the job done for reading and math, but had to toss aside the science and history courses.
Falsifying students' scores is malpractice of education, IMO.

For 18 years, we have had been privileged to work with over 650 organizations and agencies. Our Conservation Impact clients come to us in hopes of building stronger organizations in order to increase their conservation results. Through Nonprofit Impact, clients work with us to strengthen their programs, coalitions, and agencies so that they can better achieve population-level health outcomes.
While our Conservation Impact and Nonprofit Impact clients are focused on different types of goals, none of them do their work in isolation. For example, there is a long history of partnership between public agencies and nonprofit organizations working together for the protection, management, and enjoyment of public lands. And in public health at every level, partnership is embedded in just about every program and project as a primary strategy for creating healthier communities and people.
Partnerships like these have become even more important in recent years, especially for those working on complex public health, public lands, or environmental issues. Indeed, anyone who wants to create real, sustainable systems change – instilling an environmental ethic or creating a culture of healthy behaviors, for example – cannot achieve that level of change working alone.
Increasingly our clients are paying attention to the strength and productivity of their partnerships – not just of their organization or agency. And this is critically important. Strong organizations make strong partnerships; and strong partnerships make strong organizations.
Latching onto a partner because they can compensate for a weakness of yours doesn't work well in human relationships. And it doesn't work well in partnerships between organizations either.
Partnerships work best when each party comes to the table as strong, vibrant and focused; unequivocally clear about what value they bring and how their assets can be optimized through the partnership. What we call strategic partnerships – that is meaningful partnership based upon important shared goals – are relationships between equals. They are interdependent relationship based on two wholes working together to achieve goals that they cannot effectively achieve by acting alone.
Partnerships are meaningful when they are, well, meaningful. There is a world of difference between the multitude of stakeholders, publics, or markets an organization has and its few, significant strategic partnerships that it must have in order to achieve shared goals.
Strong strategic partnerships are about quality, not quantity, and they shouldn't be entered into lightly. Whether or not an organization enters into a strategic partnership should be a deliberate decision about if partnerships are the best way to build a stronger organization and achieve results.
Organizations and agencies that work with strategic partners, whether in conservation or in public health, will recognize that partnerships are integral, that they need to be integrated and that it is about innovation.
Partnerships take time, investment, commitment, understanding, compromise, and communication. Just ask anyone who is happily married! You only have the time and energy to invest in partner relationships, so only enter into strategic partnerships that are absolutely integral to your success.
If a partnership is integral, then you need to integrate it throughout your organization or agency. Not only is it impossible to maintain a strategic partnership long term when just a few individuals interact with the partner, but keeping the partnership separate from your core functions make it much less effective and productive.
Ultimately, strategic partnerships are about innovation – creating something new, and something bigger, than either party could on their own. Interestingly in both conservation and public health, the "something new" is fundamental systems change. And you can't achieve systems change incrementally. In requires a systems approach that is often only possible when working in partnership with others.
That is the beauty of partnerships.
Strong organizations produce strong partnerships, and strong partnerships produce strong organizations. In today's complex world, partnerships are no longer a "nice to have" but are integral to success and achieving systems change results.


Objective: To test the hypothesis that non-HLA single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with the risk of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) are risk factors for an unfavourable disease outcome at long-term follow-up. Methods: The Nordic JIA cohort is a prospective multicentre study cohort of patients from the Nordic countries. In all, 193 patients met the inclusion criteria of having an 8 year follow-up assessment and available DNA sample. Seventeen SNPs met the inclusion criteria of having significant associations with JIA in at least two previous independent study cohorts. Clinical endpoints were disease remission, actively inflamed joints and joints with limitation of motion (LOM), articular or extra-articular damage, and history of uveitis. Results: Evidence of associations between genotypes and endpoints were found for STAT4, ADAD1-IL2-IL21, PTPN2, and VTCN1 (p = 0.003–0.05). STAT4_rs7574865 TT was associated with the presence of actively inflamed joints [odds ratio (OR) 20.6, 95% confidence interval (CI) 2.2–> 100, p = 0.003] and extra-articular damage (OR 7.9, 95% CI 1–56.6, p = 0.057). ADAD1_rs17388568 AA was associated with a lower risk of having joints with LOM (OR 0.1, 95% CI 0–0.55, p = 0.016). PTPN2_rs1893217 CC was associated with a lower risk of having joints with LOM (OR 0.2, 95% CI 0–0.99, p = 0.026), while VTCN1_rs2358820 GA was associated with uveitis (OR 3.5, 95% CI 1–12.1, p = 0.029). Conclusion: This exploratory study, using a prospectively followed JIA cohort, found significant associations between long-term outcome and SNPs, all previously associated with development of JIA and involved in immune regulation and signal transduction in immune cells.

How Many Mg Of Edibles Should I Eat?
My girls and I are heading to Vegas for our friend Megan's bachelorette party in a few weeks. Most of us will be consuming marijuana in one form or another, how many mg of edibles should I eat?
There's been a lot of chatter regarding edibles in our email chain. I've been smoking weed since high school and consume pretty regularly now as an adult, but I've always been hesitant to try edibles for the simple reason that I'm highly uneducated on the topic. I'm sure that anything we purchase at a dispensary will be very good, but how many mg of edibles should I eat?
As a veteran pothead, I feel silly not knowing how many mg of edibles to eat and not only that, but most of the other girls are depending on me for this information.
I've heard plenty of stories of cannabis consumers dabbling in edibles for the first time gone wrong. Well not wrong, just not right? You know what I mean! I don't want to put myself into a weed-induced coma on this trip. While that would definitely be welcome on a trip to the cottage, I just think it would be a waste in Las Vegas. I want everyone who's looking to try edibles to take a dose that will hit them with the effects without turning the bachelorette party into a 3 day nap. Again, a 3 day nap sounds awesome, but not for this trip. Think you can help me out with this minor dilemma? How many mg of edibles should I eat? And do you have any recommendations for the actual type of edible we want to be consuming?
I'm glad you asked this question. The dosage of edibles you consume is important but there is no right answer that is uniform across the wide range of individuals who ingest them.
Are you going to Vegas? Yaaaaaa! Vegas! I hate Vegas more than I hate the Ellen Show. Forcing me into attending a special live taping of her show in Las Vegas would be cruel and I'd never forgive you for it. I'm just kidding – she does great things, like dancing and also dancing. Why, as a society, do we insist on pretending that she's even a good dancer? What's this charade all about anyway? If you like Ellen, I apologize. Not a real apology or anything, just something I typed for the sake of typing.
The last time I visited Sin City, I consumed so many edibles that I did, in fact, slip into one of these comes you speak of. I was awake for most of the 36 hour high, but I got up only to use the washroom and my eyes were rolled into the back of my head for more than half the time. Learn from Marley. Don't eat a bag of gummies and 3 chocolate bars with large quantities of THC. Your bachelorette party will be less of a party and more of an episode of The Walking Dead. So that's my first advice – consume less than I did. Like, way, way less.
In terms of the number of edibles you should eat, consider the following.
Everyone is different. Some of us are bigger than others and some of us are smaller than others. Some of us are smaller than others and some of us are bigger than others. What?
One person can eat 50 mg worth of gummies and wonder why they aren't high, while another can consume 10 mg of a brownie and end up on a flight to Mars. Something else to consider is how sensitive one's endocannabinoid system is.
When you get to the dispensary in Vegas, here's something to ask before purchasing anything you're going to eat.
It's not all about how many mg of edibles you should eat. Ratios are important. If the ratio is relatively even, you're in good shape. The more the ratio tips in the THC direction, the more likely it'll be you end up wanting to take long naps. That's not to say you should go wild on edibles with an even ratio, it just means that the high will be more even-keeled.
Just like strains, all edibles contain different amounts of both THC and CBD and in turn produce varying results. If the ratio is even close to the 4:1 range, you're not leaving the hotel room. Again, it's not all about the milligrams, the ratios are key.
Give it an hour or so before stuffing your face with more edibles. This is the most common reason why people overdo it.
Drink water. Drink lots and lots of water. Become one with H20. Monitoring the mg's of edibles you eat is essential to having a positive high.
Have fun in Vegas. Don't let Megan do anything Ellen wouldn't do.


Keep your family safe this summer by following these tips from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
The main recommendations from the AAP to protect you and prevent from harsh sunburn are to avoid sun exposure, dress infants in lightweight long pants, and long-sleeved shirts, and cover with brimmed hats that shade the neck and prevent sunburn. However, when sufficient clothing and shade are not available, make sure that a minimal amount f sun protection cream is applied with at least SPF 15(sun protection factor) to small areas, such as infant's face, neck, and the back of the hands. When babies get a sunburn, then immediately apply cool compresses to the affected areas; and look for more information on Baby sunburn Prevention tips.
To protect from the sun and its harmful rays, covering up is one thing that is suggested for every age, this not only helps you against harmful ultraviolet radiation but also protects you from the hot sun. Always stay in the shade whenever it is possible and limit your sun exposure during the peak hours between 10 a.m. to 4. p.m.
Wear a hat which is of the 3-inch brim or a bill facing forward, sunglasses that provide 97% -100% protections against both UVA and UVB rays, and clothing which comforts you from the sun.
Use sunscreen with an SPF 15 or more on both sunny and cloudy days as it protects against UVA and UVB rays. Make sure to apply enough sunscreen – about one ounce per sitting for a young adult.
Be sure to re-apply sunscreen for every two hours, before and after swimming.
Be extra conscious near water, sand and even snow; as they reflect UV rays very easily and it may result to sunburn more quickly.
A little more care is needed for Infants and small kids under three; as they will not be able to regulate their body temperature in the same way the adults do. If we see every year, children die from heat strokes and for being left in a hot car, often unintentionally, though, the majority of these deaths occurring in children three and under.
The intensity of the activities that last 15 or more than that should be reduced whenever you feel high heat or humidity reach critical levels.
Before you do outdoor physical activities; drink freely and do not feel thirsty. For activities less than one hour, water alone is fine; however, always drink water or sports drink; before you start your physical exercise as this will help you to beat the heat and makes you active.
Wear light-colored and lightweight clothing that is limited to one layer and easily absorbent material to facilitate evaporation of sweat. Be sure you replace the sweat-saturated shirts by dry clothing.
If you have to go out for practices and games in the heat; then it be should be shortened and make sure that you take there more frequent water/hydration breaks. Children should be moved on time to cooler environments if they feel dizzy, lightheaded or nauseated.
Be sure to check the back seat and always check all children are out of the car when you arrive your destination.
Keep away from distractions while driving; especially do not use a cell phone.
Be aware of kids in the car when you have any surprise change from the routine, i.e; especially when someone else is driving them in the morning, and you take a different route to work or child care.
Ensure that your childcare provider calls if your child has not arrived within 10 minutes of the expected arrival time, or in any emergencies.
As we are aware that the inside of a car can reach unsafe temperatures quickly, even when the outside temperature is not that hot. Never leave your child alone in a car, even if you expect to come back soon. Make sure you lock your car when it is parked so that the children cannot get in without supervision.
Make sure that someone is there when your children are playing with water, and never leave them alone in or near the pool or a spa even for a moment without close supervision as this is the best way to prevent drowning in children.
Whenever children under age 3 are in or around water, an adult; preferably one who knows how to swim and perform CPR – should be within arm's length providing touch supervision.
Fit a fence at least 4 feet high around all the four sides of your pool. Be sure that there are no openings or protrusions that a young child could use to get over the fence.
The safest fence is one that covers all four sides of your pool and separates the pool from the house and yard. If your house serves as the fourth side of the fence, then make sure that you install an alarm on the exit door connecting the yard and the pool. For extra protection, install window guards on windows facing the pool.
Be sure that you prevent drowning; as drowning victims more frequently have to use the pet doors to gain access to pools. Keep all of your barriers and alarms in good condition and with fresh batteries.
Keep rescue equipment; such as a shepherd's hook, life preserver, and a portable telephone near the pool. So that it would be easy for you to save the victims. Make sure that the shepherd's hook and other rescue equipment are made of fiberglass or other materials that do not carry out electricity.
Make sure you wear life jackets all the time when on boats, docks or near bodies of water.
The life jacket you are wearing should fit you right, and its jacket should not be loose and should always be worn as instructed with all straps belted.
Adults should be warned of the dangers of boating; when under the influence of alcohol, drugs, and even some prescription medications.
Have a Safe Summer Time!!!!

Okay, so we've covered the grocery mindset (go read it right now if you haven't yet!), so now we're here to talk about a better, more sane way to manage a traditional kitchen. It's the way of our grandmothers, the way of sustainability, the way of peace of mind.
Under the pantry mindset, you start out with the magnet. You determine, in advance, the likely amount of certain kinds of food that your family will need. Then you carefully, thoughtfully buy the best foods you can in bulk. You build up the pantry with all your staples and, for items that you can freeze or otherwise preserve, buy enough at one time to last until the next re-supply of that item.
It takes a bit of time to get up and rolling, but after you do, you will have your staples on hand at all times. This, on its own, is a great deal of comfort.
Then, once your staples are secure, you simply supplement with whatever delightful things you have access to throughout the year (fresh peaches! tomatoes! a gift of three pineapples!)—buying fresh foods, local if possible, as they come in season.
It's a shift in perspective, sure. But it changes everything. You will no longer be subject to flash sales and tempting promotions at the grocery store. You won't be at the whim of marketers and can laugh at the coupon circulars that come your way, because your food supply chain is secure and you are always well-stocked.
You can walk in the grocery store without fear. You will not be dependent on it. It will be a tool for you, but it will not run your life. You will be in control. And you will likely save a lot of money, because buying things in bulk is almost always cheaper than buying them one at a time.
An important note: the pantry mindset does not happen all at once. Like all good things, you must settle yourself in for the long haul. There will be many habits to unlearn, especially if you've had a grocery store mindset for a long time. And learning to plan for a household efficiently takes a lot of trial and error and, usually, a few treks down roads you wouldn't expect.
Where is it possible to buy the best beef? How will I store it? How much does my family need and can I stretch it by making more soups and fewer "just beef" dinners?
All of those questions will take time and experience to answer, and I'll take the suspense out of it and tell you right now: you'll never arrive. Laurie and I have been at this for decades and we are still fine-tuning our food supply chains and storage plans. I never stop looking for a way to make my kitchen better. But — and here's the key — if you can learn to see this process as a bit of fun and not drudgery, you'll have a better time of it.
So, how do you get started making your own pantry?
If you feel overwhelmed, start with one food that your family loves. Maybe it's ground beef. Maybe it's some kind of canned good. Maybe it's chicken. Whatever it is, take this opportunity over the next few days to find it from the best source you can. It may not be from a farmer right now, either. Perhaps a grocery store will give you a good deal on bulk, organic chicken (probably not objectively the best, but definitely better than the sale chicken in the Sunday brochure!). Figure out an amount for your family that you can reasonably store with the resource you have now (and maybe some creative rearranging of your current food stores).
Congratulations: you now have a supply of chicken.

Founded in 1920, Swansea University is now the third-largest university in Wales, serving nearly twenty thousand students This volume celebrates the centennial of the university, offering a portrait of postwar academic and social change in Britain and its universities, as well as an exploration of shifts in youth culture, and the ways higher education institutions have interacted with their areas and communities. The book covers a range of important themes and topics, including architectural developments, international scholars, the changing behaviors of students, protest and politics, and the multilayered relationships that are formed among academics, young people and their wider communities. Unlike most institutional histories, it takes a bottom-up approach, paying particular attention to the thoughts, feelings and behaviors of students and non-academic staff, members of the university community who are normally sidelined in such accounts. As it does so, it draws on a large collection of oral history testimonies collected specifically for this book, and, throughout, it explores how formative, paradoxical, and unexpected university life can be.

The Diamondback Terrapin
Text by Tahera Attarwala
Introduction to Species
Turtles are very common animals that are found in habitats all over the world. There are hundreds of different species of turtles, from the common box turtle to more rare species such as the giant softshell turtle. One unique species of turtle that exists is the diamondback terrapin, Malaclemys terrapin. This turtle species gets its name from the pattern on the bony plates of their shell which resembles a diamond-shape. The diamond appearance on their shell is filled with concentric circles that appear like a bullseye which makes them easier to identify. Like most turtle species, the number of growth rings on the terrapin's shell can also give an estimate to their age. The underside of the terrapin is a yellowish or greenish color, and they can typically grow in length up to nine inches.
Origin and Habitat
Diamondback terrapins are native to the brackish coastal tidal marshes of the Eastern and Southern United States. The typical habitats of this species include estuaries, tidal creeks, coastal swamps, lagoons, mangrove forests and salt marshes. This species spends most of its time in brackish water but occasionally needs access to fresh water to avoid dehydration. Diamondback terrapins may be found along the Eastern Seaboard from New Jersey to Florida and along the Gulf Coast to Texas. This is also the official reptile of the state of Maryland.
Diet and Foraging
Terrapins are mainly carnivorous animals that have a wide variety of diets. They mostly feed on mollusks, including snails, clams and mussels. They also consume worms, insects, crustaceans and smaller fish. Terrapins have a horned beak, claws and a strong jaw which help them to break open the shells of the mollusks and tear their food into smaller, easier to consume pieces. The female terrapins have even larger and more powerful jaws than the males. The terrapins are essential for maintaining the salt marsh ecosystem because they control the snail population which prevents overgrazing of cordgrass.
Mating and Nesting
Diamondback terrapins mate around early spring. The female will float on top of the water and wait for a suitable mate to approach. Female terrapins often mate with multiple males. The females can lay up to ten or fifteen eggs, which they place in shallow nests in habitats above the high tide line adjacent to the marsh. The females can lay several clutches in one breeding season. The eggs typically take anywhere from sixty to one hundred days to hatch. Just like other turtle species, the terrapin eggs need to be hidden in a way that protects the eggs from predators. An interesting characteristic that determines the gender of hatchlings in most turtle species, including the terrapin, is temperature. The warmer the temperature, the greater likelihood for more females to develop, and the opposite for males. The hatchlings that do not hatch by the onset of the cold weather, may overwinter and then hatch the following spring.
Special adaptations
The diamondback terrapin is one of the only turtle species in the world that can live in mainly brackish water. Terrapins have developed certain adaptations that allow them to survive in waters with varying salinities. The skin of the terrapin is largely impermeable to salt. Terrapins also have salt glands around their eyes that allow them to secrete excess salt from their bloodstreams, which prevents dehydration. Terrapins are clever when it comes to obtaining fresh drinking water. They often drink from the surface layer where freshwater accumulates after rainfall. Terrapins also have an instinct to raise their heads above the water, with their mouths open, to catch the falling raindrops.
Conservation and Conclusion
Terrapins have a life span of up to forty years in the wild. This species, however, does have a lot of threats including predation, habitat loss, boat propellers, roads and entrapment in crab traps. Another threat that these species are beginning to overcome is the popularity of terrapin soup. During the 18th and 19th centuries, terrapin populations were decimated through over-hunting and consumption. What's interesting is that these populations were able to slowly recover, greatly due to the Prohibition since wine, specifically sherry, was a main ingredient in the terrapin soup. Currently, these species are still sold in the pet, food and medicinal trade within the United States and Asia. Although, some states still allow commercial harvest of terrapins, other states have placed certain regulations that protect terrapins from this trade. Another threat the terrapins face is urbanization. The increased sedimentation and pollution in waterways, dredging and developments have significantly decreased the population. Coastal developments and the rise in sea levels lead to the destruction of nesting sites. Many female terrapins are also killed by motor vehicles each year while attempting to reach their nesting sites. Predation upon terrapin eggs by raccoons and other scavengers have also increased due to the prominence of human populations. It is clearly evident that most of the threats to terrapins are through anthropogenic activities. The current status of the diamondback terrapin is classified as near threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN). More regulations need to be put into place to protect these species before they become endangered since they are vital to the saltwater ecosystem.

BATMAN: REBIRTH #1
Writer: Scott Snyder & Tom King
Art: Mikel Janin & June Chung
James R: After what seems like an age of waiting, Tom King has arrived in Gotham! The breakout talent of 2016 takes over the reins from Scott Snyder in an issue co-written by the two men, and it's...okay. I think it is safe to say that King's influence will be felt more keenly when he's the sole writer as this is a by-the-numbers Batman tale. It's very much a 'state of play' issue, as Batman seeks to take down a rapidly-regenerating Calendar Man with the help of a new sidekick. It looks very nice, with Janin and Chung giving the book a very cinematic feel. I can't see that this book would entice any readers back to the Bat-books, but at the same time, there's certainly great promise in these pages for both King's Batman and Snyder's All-Star Batman. Not the most memorable rebirth of the year, but it does enough to keep me on board for the aforementioned titles. 7/10
Matt C: It's been a few years since I picked up a Bat-book but Tom King's name has lured me back in the hope that the Dark Knight can take a place on my pull-list again (as he did for many years). This is a prologue-of sorts for both King's Batman and Snyder's All-Star Batman and although it doesn't exactly set the world on fire it does a reasonable job of establishing the new status quo and puts enough elements in place to make both titles worth pursuing. The polished art from Janin and Chung is probably the most persuasive part of this issue and while a stronger opener would have been preferable, it'll do for now. 7/10
SUPERMAN: REBIRTH #1
Writers: Peter J. Tomasi & Patrick Gleason
Art: Doug Mahnke, Jaime Mendoza & Wil Quintana
Stewart R: So I've bought a Superman comic for the first time since Scott Snyder failed to hook me in with Superman Unchained back in 2013 and that was after the New 52 relaunch fizzled with me as far as the reinvented Last Son of Krypton was concerned. To be honest, without the change up that Rebirth promises, the creative duo of Tomasi and Gleason would have brought me here anyway. As it stands, this is an easily recognisable tale of two Supermen separated by dimensional differences and fates, conjuring one solid picture of the Man of Steel that we all know and love. Even having missed the recent Tomasi run on the Superman book it was easy enough to understand what had transpired here as we're given a loose overview and then revisit THE most famous Superman story as a reminder of what makes this alien individual so special, his fears when they surface and his capacity to make the ultimate sacrifice when lives are on the line. Where things will go from here is pretty clear to see and I'll say that this talented writing team have done such a good job with their depiction of the secretive 'displaced' Clark that I'm incredibly excited to see what they bring to the table when the new Superman series starts in twice-monthly earnest in a few weeks time. A recommended purchase. 8/10
PROVIDENCE #9
Writer: Alan Moore
Art: Jacen Burrows & Juan Rodriguez
Avatar $4.99
James R: This week I watched a YouTube video of the author John Higgs interviewing Alan Moore. Moore is always a terrific interview subject anyway, but I sat up and took notice when their discussion turned to Providence. Moore says of H. P. Lovecraft: "His stories represent the landscape of fear... for the 20th century as a whole." This idea has been evident throughout Providence, but it is front and centre in this chapter, 'Outsiders'. The American fear of the outsider - the other (how times change, eh?) - is the metaphor that runs through the latest leg of Robert Black's strange journey, and yet again, this is comics at their best. Moore's investigation into Lovecraft prior to this series has created a perfect vehicle to look at some of his favourite topics anew - the 'third world' of the imagination and magic - whilst also examining at first the twentieth century, and then the patterns and fears of humanity as a whole. It's always such a deeply satisfying read too - beyond the illustrated pages, Black's diary fleshes out and adds new layers to the tale and makes this a book that defies skim reading. As usual, Jacen Burrows work is precise and unsettling, and his work excels month after month. This series just grows in stature for me with each passing issue - disturbing, inventive, thought-provoking; truly a work of dark art. 10/10
4001AD #2
Writer: Matt Kindt
Art: Clayton Crain
Valiant $3.99
Stewart R: There's something of a strange clash of scopes and scales here in this event book that yes, provides an exciting, action-packed read, but also leaves this reader with something of a disconnect with the grander consequences in play. Rai, Gilad and Lemur find themselves battling Father for the very fate of New Japan's population in orbit above the Earth and it's a fine excuse for giant, mechanical behemoth mayhem which Crain does a great job of depicting in his usual, murky painted style. The problem lies in the constant culling of New Japan's population as sections of the floating city are jettisoned in order for Father to consolidate his energies in fighting his former protector of Japan. Numbers in the hundreds of thousands are bandied about as the bodies plummet to Earth, but this dwindling population count simply replaces the clichéd tick of a bomb's narrative clock and it feels that not enough time is spent amongst this terrified population, gaining a sense of their fear and confusion as the war is waged. When Kindt does dip into Lula Lee's perspective in the chaos, her view is skewed by hatred and vengeance initially and her high speed trip, whilst ending in an emotional beat, doesn't strike the chord perhaps it should as Crain delivers it in one of his lower-detailed and less impactful moments. The big, intriguing hook arrives surprisingly in the shape of Rai's companion, Lemur, who it seems may play a bigger role in the chapters to come and providing you can embrace the flashy, if slightly flawed battle of wills between Rai and Father then there's still fun to be had here. 6/10
THE GODDAMNED #4
Writer: Jason Aaron
Art: R.M. Guéra & Giulia Brusco
Matt C: This is a frequently jaw-dropping series, with the kind of take on Old Testament violence and destruction that you may perhaps have hoped Darren Aronofsky's Noah might have offered if he could have raised the necessary budget without any worries about what kind of pre-history squalor and decadence he could have put on the screen. But then again, Jason Aaron is perhaps the only writer out there at the moment with the skill and versatility to pull something like this off. It's often shocking, but in a way that's mischievously addictive, and Aaron clearly isn't holding anything back. That goes for Guéra too: his art here is magnificently textured and detailed, but regularly makes you feel like you need a bath after pondering it's grimy brilliance for any period of time. Simply put, there's nothing quite like The Goddamned on the stands at the moment, and that's worth being thankful to the Almighty for, be He vengeful or otherwise. 9/10
DEADLY CLASS #21
Art: Wes Craig & Jordan Boyd
Stewart R: We here at the PCG tend to wax lyrical on the works of Rick Remender on a fairly regular basis these days and that is for no other valid reason than this prolific scribe is on something of a golden run across multiple titles. This issue of Deadly Class is a pure example of what makes his writing so compulsive, so damn unmissable. He builds characters up at the forefront, the protagonists through whom we see these comic book worlds, and throws them through the wringer. Then, there in the periphery, he places the supporting cast members who strengthen the greater narrative as a whole; the arseholes, the snitches, the underdogs, the psychotic, gun-totting barrels of testosterone it'd take three SWAT teams to bring down, the scheming weasels you hope will get their comeuppance eventually, but not quite yet. It's that character work that he employs so masterfully through every page of this issue, harking back to the start of the series in some moments whilst delving into the darker pasts and motivations of newer players for the first time, delivering twists in the process that not only genuinely surprise, but also poke at your brain minutes, hours, days after you've read them and will continue to do so for weeks to come. When a story lingers with you, as this one continues to with me, you know you've been reading something truly special. 10/10
MOON KNIGHT #3
Art: Greg Smallwood & Jordie Bellaire
Marvel Comics $3.99
James R: Still one of the very pleasant surprises of 2016 for me, this month's issue of Moon Knight is all about the brilliant work of Greg Smallwood and Jordie Bellaire. This book has looked exceptional from the first issue, but Smallwood is on incredible form here, fluctuating between the two 'realities' of Marc Spector. Bellaire's colours add an extra dimension, genuinely providing a startling reading experience as Spector's world shifts from dark subterranean tones to almost-neon backgrounds. All the environments portrayed look great up against the stark white panel backgrounds, and I couldn't help but wonder how good Marvel's Karnak would look with an art team as talented as this. Lemire's script keeps us guessing again, pulling off a delicate balancing act between the suspension of disbelief and the awareness that everything we're seeing could be suspect. The book reminds me of Alan Moore's Promethea in places as it plays with the idea of reality and ancient gods, and from me, there can be no higher praise. 9/10
Matt C: Old Man Logan is real surprise for 2016 as I never figured I'd enjoy it quite as much as this – I've read a few Wolverine comics in my time and there is a point where you wonder if there are any new variations on the old slicing'n'dicing routine. Jeff Lemire has found a way to make the character as compelling as he's ever been though by showing him as a man out of step with his reality, trying to engage with it positively but finding death and horror continue to follow him wherever he goes. It's another strong entry for Lemire but what makes it soar is the frankly astonishing visuals from Sorrentino. His panel compositions and layouts are inventive and exciting, and the double-page splash he unleashes early on is flat-out amazing. Don't let the character's ubiquity over the years affect your judgement – if you like these creators you will certainly like what they're doing here. 8/10

18-year-old Jasmyn secretly resents her family's preference for her 8-year-old sister Katarina. Her jealousy grows when her grandmother, a dying witch, overlooks Jasmyn and chooses Katarina to inherit her magic powers. Although being second-place to her sister is something Jasmyn has grown accustomed to, this rejection wounds her like no other.
Little does Jasmyn know, she too has inherited some of her grandmother's powers. Resentment and envy are a dangerous pair, but when doused with magic, the chaos it creates is unimaginable.

Q: async-validator avoid validation before submitting form I use async-validator combined with element-ui.
I would like to execute validation only on submitting form (which actually I do in code).
When using trigger: 'change' in the rules definition, if I leave a filed with a value which does not comply with the rule, I get an error message:
name: [
  { required: true, message: 'Required field', trigger: 'blur' },
  { min: 5, message: 'Name should have at least 5 letters\n', trigger: 'change' }
],

When using trigger: 'blur', I get an error message even before I leave the field:
name: [
  { required: true, message: 'Required field', trigger: 'blur' },
  { min: 5, message: 'Name should have at least 5 letters\n', trigger: 'blur' }
],

I tried to use validate-on-rule-change, but it doesn't help:
<el-form ref="addressForm" :inline="true"
         :model="formData" :rules="addressRules" class="demo-form-inline"
         :validate-on-rule-change="false"
>

A: You could simply do
name: {
    required: true,
    message: "Please enter name ",
    trigger: 'submit' // Only triggers when $refs.form.validate() is called
},

A: maybe change your rule so you have a trigger inside :
required_blur: {
    required: true,
    message: "Donnée obligatoire",
    trigger: 'blur' // When focus changes in the input it triggers
},
required_change: {
    required: true,
    message: "Donnée obligatoire", // When input's value changes
    trigger: 'change'
},

good luck :)

Going On Haunted Honeymoon
Things are getting spooky on the Video Scare-chives BOO-dcast! We're dusting off the cobwebs of the Video Vault for a discussion of Gene Wilder's Haunted Honeymoon: Quentin, Roger & Gala reminisce about classic radio serials, and explain how this film is and isn't like Ghostbusters. Today's episode also includes the next part of Gala's interview with Roger on the history of Video Archives. I've got film facts, posters and VHS covers in today's Counter Talk, so let's get into it…
Last week I promised to talk more about Julia star Sylvia Kristel's life and career, which was full and fascinating, but also a little sad. The Dutch star became a model at 17, and nearly landed Maria Schneider's role in Last Tango In Paris, but eventually broke out internationally in 1974 thanks to the French softcore film Emmanuelle (from a director with the too-good-to-be-true name Just Jaeckin). This led to many more films that cast her in the sexy seductress role, like Jaeckin's adaptation of Lady Chatterley's Lover.
The "porno chic" film trend that made Kristel a star eventually became a millstone for her, though, as she struggled to break out of her sexpot typecasting. The decade after Emannuelle was an endless series of near-miss opportunities for her; she turned down roles in Blade Runner, Dune, Body Double and Blue Velvet, narrowly missed out on becoming a Bond girl in Moonraker, almost got Margot Kidder's role in Superman, and despite her friendship with Sergio Leone, lost out on getting cast in Once Upon A Time In America (for the part that went to Tuesday Weld). When she did appear in a movie that hit, like 1981's Private Lessons, she received little of the profits.
Kristel passed away in 2012, after years of addiction and destructive relationships with older men. I hope we get a chance to do another Kristel film on Video Archives, and highlight more of her overlooked filmography. (Maybe Quentin will be up for finally watching The Fifth Musketeer!)
Before I start talking about Haunted Honeymoon, after seeing this post from Twitter's @_brickcritic, I can't not show off this exclamation point of a Japanese poster for Busting:
As Gala referenced on this week's episode, after Quentin and Roger watched Haunted Honeymoon for the podcast, they felt like there wasn't quite enough to the film to make a proper episode segment about it. I'm glad they spent a few minutes talking about it, though, because for this radio nerd, the movie is a blast, a proudly antiquated throwback from Gene Wilder that resurrects the giddy spirit of the early spook shows. (I can't believe Dom DeLuise got a Razzie award for his very funny performance, much less that they gave him "Worst Supporting Actress" - it's gross on multiple levels.)
The VHS cover design for Haunted Honeymoon could not be more perfect - from Gene Wilder and Gilda Radner's faces alone, you know exactly what kind of movie you're in for.
The back of the box includes the very rare HBO/Cannon Video logo; HBO's partnership with Cannon Films began in 1986 and ended in 1987, so that logo dates the release quite specifically!
Our Merch Spotlight this week comes from listener Darren Franz! He hosts a YouTube channel called Cinema Chat, and you can watch him talking about some Video Archives selections here. He also tells us, of the Demonoid one-sheet he's posing with, "This poster was done by artist Kim Passey. The only other movie poster I could find that she has done was from the same year as Demonoid…it's for Beatlemania."
And that wraps up Counter Talk for this week! Next week, we've got a mammoth episode with three new films to discuss (including one we teased on a recent episode). Until then, follow us on Twitter and Instagram (check out the fan groups on Facebook and Reddit while you're at it!), stop by our merch store, and keep listening to Video Archives!

Today, while grabbing a bit to eat during a study break, I looked confidently at Skjalg and said, "I'm stupid". He has a habit of batting away such comments with humor, but this one he took seriously. He asked me why I thought that, and I began to explain to him that I feel like I am doing everything wrong, that I don't know anything as well as I think I should, and that its takes me forever to learn something basic. "You are not stupid", he reassured me, "this is hard and you are learning, so you'll feel stupid at times, but you are by no means stupid".
Exam season is the worst. I fight off a mild panic attack every time I look at the topic list for whatever subject I am studying. I am constantly criticizing my study habits of the past semester and thinking of how I should have done it differently. I still get anxious when I come across anything anatomy related – even though I am done with my exam already. I try my best to console myself with mantras, motivational quotes and wise words of family members, but sometimes things are just too overwhelming for them to sink in. I just want to make it through to the other side! To start a new semester and prove to myself that I can be more organized, more efficient, more… everything.
We resumed our studying, Skjalg focusing on reviewing for his anatomy exam (which is tomorrow) and me purging the 70 organic structures I need to know for my dreaded chemistry exam on Friday. After about half an hour had gone by, Skjalg took a moment to show me a little technique for remembering the structures for citric acid, cis-acontic acid and isocitric acid.
"This one is only different by a molecule of water", he pointed out. "What is it called when two molecules are joined by the removal of the equivalent of a water molecule?" He was asking me something easy, to help boost my confidence.
"Hydrolysis….but they aren't exactly the opposite of each other because they are mediated by different enzymes," I added sheepishly, recalling on something I'd learned from a Khan Academy video back in May.
"See! You know stuff," he reassured me.
I then argued that it didn't matter because everything that I was proud of knowing was not deep enough any more. I complained that it didn't matter that I knew that there were two different enzymes – I needed to know their name and structure. Everything always goes one or two, if not more, degrees past what I know.
I realized in that moment that I have forgotten what it is like to be a student. It's been over three years since I was last in school and I've allowed the confidence I gained in my "real-world" years to work against me. I'm here to learn, learning is hard, and it's going to take me a long time to get to the point where I feel confident in what I know. So I better settle in and get used to not knowing anything – because that is why I am here!
I would love to close this post with some wise, witty ending, but I fear my creativity is on vacation and structures of organic acids reside in its place. Besides, Skjalg's musings of the day were wise enough 🙂 Today, we reminded ourselves that we are students and that we aren't supposed to know everything – at least not yet.
You are very lucky to have such a wise, supportive boyfriend! You 'll help each other through.

Q: Python Tkinter after() does not work as expected I am implementing the Reversi/Othello board game at Python using Tkinter for the GUI. The issue is that when a player makes a move I want each piece to be drawn with a time interval. So if 3 discs are to be drawn, I want the first disc to be drawn, then the second one after x ms , and so forth.
def draw_game(self,delay=True):

    # indexes of pieces on the board
    idxs = np.where(self._gameImage >0);

    for (row,column) in zip(idxs[0],idxs[1]):
    # Convert row,column to canvas coordinates
        x1,y1,x2,y2 = self.convert_idx(col=column-1,row=row-1)
        if delay:
        #draw pieces with 500ms delay in between
            self.after(500,self.draw_piece,row,column)
        else:
            self.draw_piece(row,column)

# function that draws a single piece(disc) on the board

def draw_piece(self,row,column):
    x1,y1,x2,y2 = self.convert_idx(col=column-1,row=row-1)
    self.canvas.create_oval(x1,y1,x2,y2,fill=self.number_to_color(self._gameImage[row,column]))

So one would expect that each piece will be drawn with 500ms time interval between the current and the next piece. Instead, when I run the code, there is an initial time interval of 500ms and then all the pieces are drawn at once. I tried to run with -u but the behavior was the same. Any help? This should be fairly simple

A: I think your the placement of your:

        self.after(500,self.draw_piece,row,column)

Needs to be moved to the end of your draw_piece() function. Here's another question that demonstrates the placement. Tkinter understanding after()
It should call back to the function that its being used in.
    # function that draws a single piece(disc) on the board

def draw_piece(self,row,column):
    x1,y1,x2,y2 = self.convert_idx(col=column-1,row=row-1)
    self.canvas.create_oval(x1,y1,x2,y2,fill=self.number_to_color(self._gameImage[row,column]))
    self.after(500,self.draw_piece,row,column)

Q: Separator length on last page between columns in two-column document I am using
\documentclass[a4paper,twocolumn]{article}
\usepackage{flushend}

to balance columns on the last page of the document.  However, I also want a line between the columns:
\setlength{\columnseprule}{0.4pt}

The problem is that the column separator extends to the bottom of the page, and not the bottom of the text.  Like this:
text | text
text | text
     |

Can I set the length of the column separator?
(Note: the balance package can do this, but it has problems with line spacing.  So I'd like a solution with flushend, if possible.)

A: The problem seems to be caused by LaTeX itself. Even without the flushend package the rule goes all the way down, if the left column is only partially filled.
I suggest to use the multicol package, which does what you want by default. It is also far more flexible then the twocolumn option.
Here an example:
\documentclass[a4paper]{article}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{lipsum}

\setlength{\columnseprule}{0.4pt}

\begin{document}
\begin{multicols}{2}
\lipsum[1-4]
\end{multicols}
\end{document}

And next time: please make a minimal working example (starting with \documentclass and ending with \end{document}), which shows the problem. It makes it much easier for the people here to see your problem and answer your question.

(14-23) But when ye shall see.--See Notes on Matthew 24:15-28.
Standing where it ought not.--St. Mark substitutes this for "in the holy place" of St. Matthew. Of the two, the former seems, in its enigmatic form, more likely to have been the phrase actually used; the latter to have been an explanation. The words "spoken of by Daniel the prophet" are omitted in many of the best MSS.
Verse 14. - But when ye see the abomination of desolation standing where he ought not. In the Authorized Version, after the word "desolation," the words "spoken of by Daniel the prophet," are introduced, but without sufficient authority. They were probably interpolated from St. Matthew, where there is abundant authority for them; and thus their omission by St. Mark does not affect the argument drawn from them in favor of the genuineness of the Book of Daniel, against those, whether in earlier or in later times, who reject this book, or ascribe it to some mere recent authorship. The "abomination of desolation" is a Hebrew idiom, meaning "the abomination that maketh desolate." St. Luke (Luke 21:20) does not use the expression; it would have sounded strange to his Gentile readers. He says, "When ye see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that her desolation is at hand." This reference to the Roman armies by St. Luke has led some commentators to suppose that "the abomination of desolation" meant the Roman eagles. But this was a sign from without; whereas "the abomination of desolation" was a sign from within, connected with the ceasing of the daily sacrifice of the temple. It is alluded to by the Prophet Daniel in three places, namely, Daniel 9:27; Daniel 11:31; Daniel 12:11. We must seek for its explanation in something within the temple. "standing in the holy place" (Matthew 24:15) - some profanation of the temple, on account of which God's judgments would fall on Jerusalem. Now, Daniel's prophecy had already received one fulfillment ( B.C. 168), when we read (1 Macc. 1:54) that they set up "the abomination of desolation upon the altar." This was when Antiochus Epiphanes set up the statue of Jupiter on the great altar of burnt sacrifice. But that "abomination of desolation" was the forerunner of another and a worse profanation yet to come, which our Lord, no doubt, had in his mind when he called the attention of his disciples to these predictions by Daniel. There is a remarkable passage in Josephus ('Wars of the Jews,' 4:6), in which he refers to an ancient saying then current, that "Jerusalem would be taken, and the temple be destroyed, when it had been defiled by the hands of Jews themselves." Now, this literally took place. For while the Roman armies were investing Jerusalem, the Jews within the city were in fierce conflict amongst themselves. And it would seem most probable that our Lord had in his mind, in connection with Daniel's prophecy, more especially that at Daniel 9:27, the irruption of the army of Zealots and Assassins into the temple, filling the holy place with the dead bodies of their own fellow-citizens. The Jews had invited these marauders to defend them against the army of the Romans; and they, by their outrages against God, were the special cause of the desolation of Jerusalem. Thus, while St. Luke points to the sign from without, namely, the Roman forces surrounding the city, St. Matthew and St. Mark refer to the more terrible sign from within, the "abomination of desolation " - the abomination that would fill up the measure of their iniquities, and cause the avenging power of Rome to come down upon them and crush them. It was after these two signs - the sign from within and the sign from without - that Jerusalem was laid prostrate. Therefore our Lord proceeds to warn both Jews and Christians alike, that when they saw these signs they should flee unto the mountains - not to the mountains of Judaea, for these were already occupied by the Roman army (Josephus; lib. 3 cap. 12.), but those further off, beyond Judaea. We know from Eusebius (3:15) that the Christians fled to Pella, on the other side of the Jordan. The Jews, on the other hand, as they saw the Roman army approaching nearer, betook themselves to Jerusalem, as to an asylum, thinking that there they would be under the special protection of Jehovah; but there, alas, they were imprisoned and slain.
13:14-23 The Jews in rebelling against the Romans, and in persecuting the Christians, hastened their own ruin apace. Here we have a prediction of that ruin which came upon them within less than forty years after this. Such destruction and desolation, that the like cannot be found in any history. Promises of power to persevere, and cautions against falling away, well agree with each other. But the more we consider these things, the more we shall see abundant cause to flee without delay for refuge to Christ, and to renounce every earthly object, for the salvation of our souls.
