← Would You Want Your Grandchild Working Like This?
I've just released a new reader's theater play script. I put it together early in the summer but have waited until now to release it because, like nearly all my plays, I wanted to try it out with my own students before offering it to you. By doing so, not only do I catch (nearly) all my typos, I'm also able to figure out which lines work and which lines need a bit more pep. It amazes me how adding an innocuous word such as "always" bolsters an otherwise flat one-liner (in this case, spoken by an elephant to a hippo).
"How the Elephant Got Its Trunk" is my new play. It's based on Rudyard Kipling's oft-adapted "Elephant's Child" from his 1902 work, Just So Stories. Yes, there are a lot of adaptions of this one out there, but I think you'll find mine to be unique. First of all, Kipling's original story is about an elephant that get's spanked by all his relatives. I'm not intending to make any political statements, but there's little question these days that spanking isn't considered school-appropriate. Consequently, I've come up with a clever way to re-work the story without altering its mojo. It's a Just So adaption just right for class!
My script also encourages students to experiment with dialect. I've found that any time I can get kids talking like a southern belle, a Bronx street urchin, or a Russian cowpoke (see my Talk Like A Russian Day post), the stories come to life in profound ways. We also have a lot more laughs. "Elephant's Child" sets the tone with Swahili storytellers, then tosses in a baboon with a British accent, a snake with a lisp, a hip-hop jivin' giraffe, and others. If your kids like it as much as my students do, I think you'll be pleased.
I've also included two versions in one package: my original, which is geared toward 5th through 8th graders, and a simplified "Youngers Version" for 3rd through 5th. My fifth graders are using the upper version and doing fine with it. It includes leveled comprehension activities based on Common Core standards. Older students can pair the play with the original short story–available all over the Web. You can also enact it alongside another of my Kipling plays, "Rikki Tikki Tavi," which is available through Scholastic.

When you're marking movements, don't forget about your arms*.
On Saturday, in class, I failed to mark the jetes effectively. In particular, I forgot that I had an upper body, never mind that my upper body had been doing brilliantly a moment before. Thus, whenever we did a pass, my upper body was like, "WTF?!" And then my legs were all, "ZOMG, upper body, get with the program!" And then everything fell apart more or less literally.
When you mark movements, you're wiring your brain to do them (why didn't I think of this in class? I should know this stuff!). Thus, you need to make sure to incorporate all the limbs and so forth.
Even though you're not going all out, you are enchaining the circuits that should be firing together and, if you use visualization, harnessing them to a kind of mental 3D movie of David Hallberg executing whatever movement you're marking**.
Research has demonstrated that good visualization activates the nerves in both the brain and the muscles, so when you mark and visualize, you're practicing. What you mark and what you picture will influence what you do at the barre and on the dance floor.
For what it's worth, I'm realizing that it might take a little while to remember how to be a dancer when you've taken a sizeable break and concentrated deeply on a very different athletic discipline. It's cool, though, because I now have an opportunity to develop an intellectual understanding of something I only grasped by instinct earlier in my life.
In other news, I lost about a pound over the last few days. Hecks to the yeah!
That's all for now. Leather side down!

Deputy Sheriff Brian Sleuter stops a suspicious vehicle for a routine traffic stop. Before he is able to complete his paperwork life comes to an end for Sleuter. Joe Gunther is called in to investigate. Joe is head of the Vermont Bureau of Investigation. Sleuter's vehicle was equipped so that he would be taped while making the stop and his killer was caught on tape.
Gunter has officers checking Sleuter's background just to be sure that there was nothing underhanded in his history that could have been the cause of the execution. He doesn't really believe that Sleuter was crooked but Joe wants to be very sure so that he isn't faced with surprises in the investigation.
While local officers are investigating Sleuter, Joe is chasing the man suspected of the murder. This chase leads him to believe that the suspect is heavily involved in trafficking drugs along the New England coast. Joe is working with more than one department in trying to uncover every lead in the case.
Joe's girl friend Lyn Silva even lends a hand in trying to track down the killer. Her brother Steve was previously involved with drugs and Steve and Lyn step up to aid Joe.
The chase is exciting and Gunther finds himself in a position many times where he is in great danger. The characters introduced in The Catch, both the good guys and the bad, make for a very interesting story.
This is the 19th Joe Gunther novel and the books just get better and better.


The Reflex Space invites curator and artist Marlon de Azambuja to rethink the exhibition 'Habitar la frontera' (Inhabiting the border) in the framework of the I Basque Country International Architecture Biennial.
The exhibition 'Habitar la frontera' (Inhabiting the border), originally created for the OTR space in Madrid, brings together a collection of works and artists from different origins and tries to open up a possible dialogue on the idea of borders, approaching it from different shores. During the curation process, the artists were invited to think about how their work relates to this reflection on borders, thus creating a compound of very diverse first-hand perspectives from their creators.
For this first edition of the Architecture Biennial, we propose an exhibition that is based on the same principle and maintains most of the artists and works from the original exhibition, but with some modifications to the collaborators in order to better adapt it to the new space and context.
Artists: Irene de Andrés, Primoz Bizjak, Katherine Fiedler, Donna Colón & Jonathan Harker, Bostjan Pucelj, Maya Saravia, Mauro Vallejo, Gabriela Bettini, Roberto Cardenas, and Maria Cerdá.

CAMPBELL'S NEW ANIMAL
Donald Campbell, C.B.E., the dashing Englishman who has traveled quite a bit faster on water than anyone else, made a leisurely pit stop at a New York hotel last week en route from Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats to his home, Roundwood, in Horsehills, Surrey and said that he intended to go quite a bit faster, on land as well as water, before he packed it up.
"I'm getting a bit too old for the game, old boy," said Campbell, who is 37. "Not getting frightened, you know, but older. As you get older, the fear that you require gets greater; the fear that stops you from doing something rash. Of course, you're not at all frightened once you're under way; your mind's much too concentrated on handling the animals."
Campbell's animals are a boat and a car, both called Bluebird, as were the boats and cars of his celebrated father, Sir Malcolm, who was greatly affected by Count Maeterlinck's play. Bluebird the boat is the same animal in which Campbell, a Teddy bear in the cockpit with him, set his water speed record of 248.62 mph on Lake Coniston in Lancashire last November; Bluebird the car, which prompted his trip to Utah, will not be completed until February or March of next year, but a [1/16]th model, painted a disarming blue, travels with Campbell.
First on Campbell's schedule, however, is an attempt to exceed 250 mph on water. "No one else has crossed 200 and lived, God bless them," said Campbell. "We're going to try in May what eluded us last year, because the incidence of the prevailing winds on Coniston is lower then. Oh, the misery of the winds! There's none of the color of the race or the prizefight when you're running in the cold of the north of England, frozen to the marrow, fighting your way through darkness, through scientific darkness.
"This boat," said Campbell, indicating a photograph in his album, "was designed for 250 but has proved faster. But at those high-speed ranges so much is unknown and the primary consideration is safety. No goal is worth achieving on the edge of a knife; you have accomplished nothing and proved even less. At those high speeds you approach the point where the animal has control of you rather than you of it. Stability. Stability, old boy, is a closed book to mankind and only now are we slowly, laboriously turning the pages.
"Not a very pretty thing when she's static, is she?" asked Campbell and turned the page. "Look at her under way, though. I always say, if it doesn't look good, tear it up. Anything that doesn't look good, isn't.
"But this year is only a stepping-stone for next. I hope in 1960 to break two records in one year—it's never been done before, old boy—300 on water, which I rather doubt I'll get, and 400 on land [the present land record is 394.2 mph, set by the late John Cobb at Bonneville in 1947]. Then I can retire. I've got my sweet wife, you know." Sweet wife (No. 3 for Campbell) is Tonia Bern, a café singer, whom Campbell (No. 2 for Tonia), with his customary speed, proposed to 18 days after he met her at a cocktail party.
Campbell is much more confident of breaking 400 in his first try at cars, and regaining a record once held by his father. In fact, he has already set a date for his first record run at Bonneville: Sept. 4, 1960. The animal which he hopes will do it is 30 feet long, eight feet wide, 4 feet 9 inches high and weighs four tons. It has a wheelbase of 13 feet 6 inches; a track of 5 feet 6 inches; is powered by a Bristol Proteus 705 turbojet engine which develops 4,100 bhp (brake, or actual, horsepower); has four-wheel drive and fully independent suspension; enormous 4 x 52 x 8.25 tires; disc, air and parachute brakes which dissipate 75 million foot-pounds of energy; is covered with an aluminum skin; and has a potential speed of more than 500 mph.
"This is a $3 million project," said Campbell; "$300,000 has been spent on developing the tires alone. To think it all started years ago as a lighthearted sporting endeavor. It's far from being that now; it's scientific. Engineering's the fascination, old boy; pitting your wits, yourself, against the unknown to succeed, or to fail. It's either richly rewarding or bitterly depressing. But when it's rewarding and it's over, you get a hell of a kick, an association of factors which make a most wonderful pie.
"But what is the animated spirit that drives man on? If we only knew that. There is, you know, no limit to anything but the lack of man's knowledge. The most inspiring thing is the sight of a Boeing 707 going over New York. Don't tell me you haven't seen it—it looks like it's standing still."
CAMPBELL REVEALS THE MODEL OF HIS NEW CAR IN WHICH HE HOPES TO BREAK 400

What do people regret the most once they go past 50 in life?
In six months I'll be 50 but I already know what I'll regret.
This is the cliche answer. "If anything had been different I wouldn't be who I am today." Like what I am today is so great I'd never want to change it. But... I wish I could've done some things differently in the past and still be the person I am today. Life is pretty hard and complex. And our brains aren't smart enough to figure it all out.
KIDS. I wish I had spent more time with my kids. Sure, I spend quality time with them now. But I worked really hard and, I admit, I probably avoided them when they were really young and difficult to wake up and get ready for school when they were younger.
MONEY. I wish for 15 years or so I wasn't so focused on money.
CREATIVITY. I began my career in my 20s doing things that were really creative that I loved. I was trying to write a novel. I was trying to do a TV show. I was always around people I loved so much. And I spent time with them because I loved them and not because I wanted anything else. I wish I had stuck with that. Now, in my 40s, I'm trying to catch up. It's never too late, of course.
HUMILITY. When I first made some money I became a bit arrogant. I started investing in all of these horrible companies and having horrible friends. It's the double-horrible that finally kills you. If I were humble and just went back to what I loved, I bet I'd be happier.
CONFRONTATIONAL. I couldn't say "no" to people. I still have a hard time with that. I wish when someone does something that I don't like or agree with that I would say "no" a bit more often. I've gotten into a lot of bad situations because I didn't say "no".
-- When someone treats me bad.
-- When I don't want to do something but I feel bad about hurting someone.
Anyway. If I had a time machine would I go back in time? I'm not sure. It's ok to feel regret sometimes.
I thumb through it like I would a deck of cards with pretty pictures. I would have held my daughter's hand when she came home from school. And I would have taken her for a walk around town. And she would've told me about her day. And I would ask her lots of questions. I'd listen while she talked and talked. She would tell me everything. And we'd walk for a really long time, until the sun went down and I'd try to tell her the names of all the stars above us. Even if I had to make it up.

Normal services interrupted as chapel members take a walk
Posted byRobin 29th Jan 2022 Posted injournalism, My blog, My lifeTags:autumn, company, debate, journalists, labour movement, Newspaper Society, NUJ, pickets, provincial, socialism, stoppage, union
Despite my search for real socialism and my fascination with the story of the labour movement, as opposed to the Labour Party, I did not find myself involved in any serious union activity until I moved down South.
As I have said I joined the National Union of Journalists while working in North Wales. Other than paying my subs on a monthly basis, the branch treasurer was the sports editor (he might have been called assistant editor but mainly I remember him doing sport) Bill Prandle and he always made sure we were up to date.
I don't think I remember even attending any meetings and we certainly didn't take any action as far as I can remember.
When I did move South my membership was transferred to the Southend branch, which covered Basildon. The branch included people from other news media as well as freelancers but the journalists on the Standard Recorder, not including the editor, Tony Blandford, and the journalists at the Evening Echo, also part of Westminster Press, were in another level of the union called a chapel.
From the time the NUJ was formed, 1907, the union meetings or groups used the same references as the print workers for their workplace groups which were traditionally referred to as chapels. The main officials of the chapel were the FoC (chairman), deputy FoC (deputy chairman) and the Clerk of the Chapel (secretary and often treasurer as well).
Before I get accused of sexism I would point out that at this time there were fewer women in journalism and the printing works in general as compared to men and most chapels would have an FoC, but when a woman was elected they did become known as Mother of the Chapel or MoC.
Our chapel was rather quiet in my early days in Basildon, or it might be I didn't always get the notices of meeting as they would be held at the head office and works which was out on one of the industrial sites.
Late in 1973, however, as the NUJ got stuck into pay and conditions talks with the newspaper owners, in the form of the Newspaper Society, chapel meetings were called to keep us up to date with negotiations.
By the autumn negotiations were not going well and eventually we were informed that there would be a 24-hour stoppage to remind the NS of our major weapon in such fights, the right to withdraw our labour.
Work would stop mid-morning, which would mainly disrupt work on the Evening Echo, and return exactly 24 hours later, which would still cause disruption on the evening paper.
The stoppage began as planned and when we left the weekly office it was on friendly relations with the editor. We met up at a local social club where a room had been made available. Pickets were dispatched to the head office and other offices with official placards from the NUJ. Other teams were set up to relieve them every two hours and once pickets were relieved they could go home. All picketing ended at 5pm and everyone would gather at the meeting room at 8am, in preparation for a return to work at the end of the 24 hours.
Just after 8am a courier arrived from head office with an envelope addressed to the FoC. The message was from the board of directors and, although couched in business-like language what it amounted to was:
"You have made your point but we see no reason for you to continue the stoppage and we expect to see everyone back at their desks by 9am."
There was a 10-minute debate on what should be done and, despite two or three who thought management had a point, it was agreed stoppage would continue for the full 24 hours and the return to work would be at 11am as agreed. A member of head office editorial, who had a motorbike, volunteered to take the reply.
He had only been back 10 minutes when the head office courier arrived with a further message. This one simply stated that all editorial staff should be at their desks by 9am and after that the doors would be locked to prevent anyone else entering the building.
A short debate ended with the same decision: a return to work at the end of the 24 hours. The courier had been asked to wait to take our reply.
We then all set off at staggered times to ensure each group arrived at the appropriate office to return to work at 11am.
When we arrived at the Recorder office we went to the front entrance as that was where we had departed for our 24-hour stoppage. Tony was at the door and told us he had been instructed not to allow us in if we arrived after 9am.
We returned to the meeting room at the social club and before long we were all together again.
The trouble with most provincial journalists at that time was that they were more at ease with reporting on other people on strike (even though we were not on strike we had been locked out) than actually participating.
It took some time to come up with a plan of action on the basis we did not know if this would last a few hours, a few days or even longer. The first item on the action list was to inform NUJ head office and ask for advice on what to do next.
The second item was to set up a roster for pickets. At that time of the year nobody wanted to be out in the cold for too long.
I was scheduled for a late shift.
While we waited to hear back from the NUJ head office those of us not on picket duty were at a bit of a loose end.
The big change came mid-afternoon when one of the pickets came back early and announced: "We've got company."
NEXT TIME: Settling in for the long haul and saying sorry to a princess.

Marine Top Predators As Climate And Ecosystem Sentinels
Author(s): Hazen, EL, et al
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1002/fee.2125
The rapid pace of environmental change in the Anthropocene necessitates the development of a new suite of tools for measuring ecosystem dynamics. Sentinel species can provide insight into ecosystem function, identify hidden risks to human health, and predict future change. As sentinels, marine apex (top) predators offer a unique perspective into ocean processes, given that they can move across ocean basins and amplify trophic information across multiple spatiotemporal scales. Because use of the terms "ecosystem sentinel" and "climate sentinel" has proliferated in the scientific literature, there is a need to identify the properties that make marine predators effective sentinels. We provide a clear definition of the term "sentinel", review the attributes of species identified as sentinels, and describe how a suite of such sentinels could strengthen our understanding and management of marine ecosystems. We contend that the use of marine predators as ecosystem sentinels will enable rapid response and adaptation to ecosystem variability and change.
Using A Climate-To-Fishery Model To Simulate The Influence Of The 1976-1977 Regime Shift On Anchovy And Sardine In The California Current Ecosystem
Author(s): Nishikawa, H, EN Curchitser, J Fiechter, KA Rose, K Hedstrom
The influence of the well-known 1976–1977 regime shift on the Northern anchovy (Engraulis mordax) and the Pacific sardine (Sardinops caeruleus) populations in the California Current System (CCS) is investigated using a climate-to-fishery model. This model consists of four coupled submodels (regional ocean circulation model; Eulerian nutrient-phytoplankton-zooplankton-detritus model; individual-based full life cycle anchovy and sardine model; agent-based fishery model). Analysis of a historical simulation (1958–1990) showed that survival fraction of age-0 anchovy was lower just after 1977, while survival fraction of age-0 sardine was relatively unaffected by the regime shift. The age-0 survival of both species was influenced by the growth in the larval stage. Simulated zooplankton densities in the historical simulation shifted from high to low in 1976–1977 in the CCS, with the shift being most drastic in winter in the coastal area. The model also shows that anchovy larvae feed extensively from winter to early spring in the coastal area, while sardine larvae were mainly distributed in the offshore area. The differential seasonal and spatial responses of zooplankton in the simulation caused anchovy survival to be more sensitive than sardine to the 1976–1977 regime shift. The model-generated zooplankton shift was a result of reduced phytoplankton production due to lowered nutrient concentrations after 1977 due to the weakening of both the coastal upwelling and mixed layer shoaling, which reduced the vertical nutrient flux from the bottom layer to the surface layer.
Lost Opportunity: Quantifying The Dynamic Economic Impact Of Time-Area Fishery Closures

Time-area closures are an important tool for reducing fisheries bycatch, but their effectiveness and economic impact can be influenced by the changes in species distributions. For fisheries targeting highly mobile species, the economic impact of a closure may by highly dynamic, depending on the current suitability of the closed area for the target species.We present an analysis to quantify the fine-scale economic impact of time-area closures: the 'lost economic opportunity', which is the percentage of total potential profit for an entire fishing season that occurs within and during a time-area closure. Our analysis integrates a spatially explicit and environment-informed catch model with a utility model that quantifies fishing revenues and costs, and thus incorporates a dynamic target species distribution in the estimated economic impact of a closure. We demonstrate this approach by evaluating the economic impact of the Loggerhead Conservation Area (LCA) on California's drift gillnet swordfish Xiphias gladius fishery.The lost economic opportunity due to the LCA time-area closure ranged from 0% to 6% per season, with variation due to port location and trip duration, as well as inter-annual changes in swordfish distribution. This increased by 40%–90% when a seasonally varying swordfish price was considered. There was a clear signal in economic impact associated with a shift from warm to cool conditions in the California Current following the 1998 El Niño, with increased lost economic opportunity from 1999. This signal was due to higher swordfish catch inside the LCA during the cool phase, associated with increased water column mixing, and due to higher catches outside the LCA in the warmer phase, associated with increased sea-surface temperature.Synthesis and applications. We found small economic impact from a fishery closure, but with meaningful inter-annual variation due to environmental change and the dynamic distribution of a target species. Our approach could be used to help determine the timing of closures, simulate impacts of proposed closures and, more generally, assess some economic consequences of climate-induced shifts in species' ranges.
Decision-Support Tools For Dynamic Management

Spatial management is a valuable strategy to advance regional goals for nature conservation, economic development, and human health. One challenge of spatial management is navigating the prioritization of multiple features. This challenge becomes more pronounced in dynamic management scenarios, in which boundaries are flexible in space and time in response to changing biological, environmental, or socioeconomic conditions. To implement dynamic management, decision-support tools are needed to guide spatial prioritization as feature distributions shift under changing conditions. Marxan is a widely applied decision-support tool designed for static management scenarios, but its utility in dynamic management has not been evaluated. EcoCast is a new decision-support tool developed explicitly for the dynamic management of multiple features, but it lacks some of Marxan's functionality. We used a hindcast analysis to compare the capacity of these 2 tools to prioritize 4 marine species in a dynamic management scenario for fisheries sustainability. We successfully configured Marxan to operate dynamically on a daily time scale to resemble EcoCast. The relationship between EcoCast solutions and the underlying species distributions was more linear and less noisy, whereas Marxan solutions had more contrast between waters that were good and poor to fish. Neither decision-support tool clearly outperformed the other; the appropriateness of each depends on management purpose, resource-manager preference, and technological capacity of tool developers.
Views From The Dock: Warming Waters, Adaptation, And The Future Of Maine'S Lobster Fishery
Project: Predicting social impacts of climate change in fisheries
Author(s): McClenachan L, SB Scyphers, JH Grabowski
Project PI: Scyphers
The ability of resource-dependent communities to adapt to climate change depends in part on their perceptions and prioritization of specific climate-related threats. In the Maine lobster fishery, which is highly vulnerable to warming water associated with climate change, we found a strong majority (84%) of fishers viewed warming water as a threat, but rank its impacts lower than other drivers of change (e.g., pollution). Two-thirds believed they will be personally affected by warming waters, but only half had plans to adapt. Those with adaptation plans demonstrated fundamentally different views of human agency in this system, observing greater anthropogenic threats, but also a greater ability to control the fishery through their own actions on the water and fisheries management processes. Lack of adaptation planning was linked to the view that warming waters result from natural cycles, and the expectation that technological advancements will help buffer the industry from warming waters.
The Effect Of Ocean Warming On Black Sea Bass (Centropristis Striata) Physiology.
Project: Indicators of habitat change affecting three key commercial species of the U.S. Northeast Shelf: A design to facilitate proactive management in the face of climate change

Over the last decade, ocean temperature on the U.S. Northeast Continental Shelf (U.S. NES) has warmed faster than the global average and is associated with observed distribution changes of the northern stock of black sea bass (Centropristis striata). Mechanistic models based on physiological responses to environmental conditions can improve future habitat suitability projections. We measured maximum, standard metabolic rate, and hypoxia tolerance (Scrit) of the northern adult black sea bass stock to assess performance across the known temperature range of the species. Two methods, chase and swim-flume, were employed to obtain maximum metabolic rate to examine whether the methods varied, and if so, the impact on absolute aerobic scope. A subset of individuals was held at 30˚C for one month (30chronic˚C) prior to experiments to test acclimation potential. Absolute aerobic scope (maximum–standard metabolic rate) reached a maximum of 367.21 mgO2 kg-1 hr-1 at 24.4˚C while Scrit continued to increase in proportion to standard metabolic rate up to 30˚C. The 30chronic˚C group exhibited a significantly lower maximum metabolic rate and absolute aerobic scope in relation to the short-term acclimated group, but standard metabolic rate or Scrit were not affected. This suggests a decline in performance of oxygen demand processes (e.g. muscle contraction) beyond 24˚C despite maintenance of oxygen supply. The Metabolic Index, calculated from Scrit as an estimate of potential aerobic scope, closely matched the measured factorial aerobic scope (maximum / standard metabolic rate) and declined with increasing temperature to a minimum below 3. This may represent a critical threshold value for the species. With temperatures on the U.S. NES projected to increase above 24˚C in the next 80-years in the southern portion of the northern stock's range, it is likely black sea bass range will continue to shift poleward as the ocean continues to warm.
Comparing And Synthesizing Quantitative Distribution Models And Qualitative Vulnerability Assessments To Project Marine Species Distributions Under Climate Change
Author(s): Allyn, A. J., M. A. Alexander, B. S. Franklin, F. Massiot-Granier, A. J. Pershing, J. D. Scott, and K. E. Mills.
Species distribution shifts are a widely reported biological consequence of climate-driven warming across marine ecosystems, creating ecological and social challenges. To meet these challenges and inform management decisions, we need accurate projections of species distributions. Quantitative species distribution models (SDMs) are routinely used to make these projections, while qualitative climate change vulnerability assessments are becoming more common. We constructed SDMs, compared SDM projections to expectations from a qualitative expert climate change vulnerability assessment, and developed a novel approach for combining the two methods to project the distribution and relative biomass of 49 marine species in the Northeast Shelf Large Marine Ecosystem under a "business as usual" climate change scenario. A forecasting experiment using SDMs highlighted their ability to capture relative biomass patterns fairly well (mean Pearson's correlation coefficient between predicted and observed biomass = 0.24, range = 0–0.6) and pointed to areas needing improvement, including reducing prediction error and better capturing fine-scale spatial variability. SDM projections suggest the region will undergo considerable biological changes, especially in the Gulf of Maine, where commercially-important groundfish and traditional forage species are expected to decline as coastal fish species and warmer-water forage species historically found in the southern New England/Mid-Atlantic Bight area increase. The SDM projections only occasionally aligned with vulnerability assessment expectations, with agreement more common for species with adult mobility and population growth rates that showed low sensitivity to climate change. Although our blended approach tried to build from the strengths of each method, it had no noticeable improvement in predictive ability over SDMs. This work rigorously evaluates the predictive ability of SDMs, quantifies expected species distribution shifts under future climate conditions, and tests a new approach for integrating SDMs and vulnerability assessments to help address the complex challenges arising from climate-driven species distribution shifts.
Thermal Displacement By Marine Heatwaves
Author(s): Jacox, M.G., Alexander, M.A., Bograd, S.J. et al
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-020-2534-z
Marine heatwaves (MHWs)—discrete but prolonged periods of anomalously warm ocean temperatures—can drastically alter ocean ecosystems, with profound ecological and socioeconomic impacts1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8. Considerable effort has been directed at understanding the patterns, drivers and trends of MHWs globally9,10,11. Typically, MHWs are characterized on the basis of their intensity and persistence at a given location—an approach that is particularly relevant for corals and other sessile organisms that must endure increased temperatures. However, many ecologically and commercially important marine species respond to environmental disruptions by relocating to favourable habitats, and dramatic range shifts of mobile marine species are among the conspicuous impacts of MHWs1,4,12,13. Whereas spatial temperature shifts have been studied extensively in the context of long-term warming trends14,15,16,17,18, they are unaccounted for in existing global MHW analyses. Here we introduce thermal displacement as a metric that characterizes MHWs by the spatial shifts of surface temperature contours, instead of by local temperature anomalies, and use an observation-based global sea surface temperature dataset to calculate thermal displacements for all MHWs from 1982 to 2019. We show that thermal displacements during MHWs vary from tens to thousands of kilometres across the world's oceans and do not correlate spatially with MHW intensity. Furthermore, short-term thermal displacements during MHWs are of comparable magnitude to century-scale shifts inferred from warming trends18, although their global spatial patterns are very different. These results expand our understanding of MHWs and their potential impacts on marine species, revealing which regions are most susceptible to thermal displacement, and how such shifts may change under projected ocean warming. The findings also highlight the need for marine resource management to account for MHW-driven spatial shifts, which are of comparable scale to those associated with long-term climate change and are already happening.
The Response Of The Northwest Atlantic Ocean To Climate Change
Project: From physics to fisheries: A social-ecological management strategy evaluationfor the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem
Author(s): Alexander, M. A., S. Shin, J. D. Scott, E. Curchitser, C. Stock
DOI: https://doi.org/10.1175/JCLI-D-19-0117.1
ROMS, a high-resolution regional ocean model, was used to study how climate change may affect the northwestern Atlantic Ocean. A control (CTRL) simulation was conducted for the recent past (1976–2005), and simulations with additional forcing at the surface and lateral boundaries, obtained from three different global climate models (GCMs) using the RCP8.5 scenario, were conducted to represent the future (2070–99). The climate change response was obtained from the difference between the CTRL and each of the three future simulations. All three ROMS simulations indicated large increases in sea surface temperatures (SSTs) over most of the domain except off the eastern U.S. seaboard resulting from weakening of the Gulf Stream. There are also substantial intermodel differences in the response, including a southward shift of the Gulf Stream in one simulation and a slight northward shift in the other two, with corresponding changes in eddy activity. The depth of maximum warming varied among the three simulations, resulting in differences in the bottom temperature response in coastal regions, including the Gulf of Maine and the West Florida Shelf. The surface salinity decreased in the northern part of the domain and increased in the south in all three experiments, although the freshening extended much farther south in one ROMS simulation relative to the other two, and also relative to the GCM that provided the large-scale forcing. Thus, while high resolution allows for a better representation of currents and bathymetry, the response to climate change can vary considerably depending on the large-scale forcing.

We present a survey of the bee fauna of Gardiners Island, Suffolk County, NY. The study focuses on more than 10,000 bee specimens collected by net during 1976, 1977, and 2005–2011. These surveys recorded 154 bee species and morphospecies in 30 genera. Bee species associated with fields, beaches, and woody plants were well represented in the sample, whereas those requiring herbaceous understory flowers were relatively few. Notable finds include several species with southern affinities that are otherwise scarce in New York State and paratypes of the social parasite Lasioglossum (Dialictus) rozeni. The newly discovered male of Sphecodes johnsonii is diagnosed and imaged. Two Nomada morphospecies may be undescribed. A single worker of the northern species Bombus (Cullumanobombus) rufocinctus provides the first coastal record for New York State. New records of Dianthidium (D.) simile from nearby Long Island and of Pseudoanthidium (P.) nanum from New York City (and nearby New Jersey) increase the number of bee genera and described species recorded from New York State to 45 and 447, respectively. Phenological data may provide new evidence for host-parasite associations. The bee diversity of Gardiners Island is discussed in relation to the bee fauna of the northeastern US, especially records available for other Atlantic coastal islands in the region.

Home Op-Ed What…Me Vote?
What…Me Vote?
Okay TTAGers. November 2nd is fast upon us. For those of you busy reading our site (and thank you for that, by the way) and not paying attention to politics and current events, November 2nd is Election Day around the Nation. If you haven't voted already, I'm here to nag you into doing your civic duty and do it. But it's not enough just to vote. It's who you vote for that will make a huge difference, more so this year than any other. Let me explain…
Let me hasten to state, unequivocally, I am NOT here to tell you to vote for Party X. In fact, I'm actually here to tell you NOT to vote for a party, but instead vote for a candidate.
Here's the straight dope, folks. It's not enough to care about the 2nd Amendment. And it's not enough to align yourself with whomever the NRA anoints as their candidate du jour. Political parties no longer mean ANYTHING. If they ever did.
I'm in marketing. And I can tell you that Political parties exist for one reason: to get, wield, and retain power. Neither party is interested in ideology – not really. If they were soft drinks, we wouldn't be talking about Coke versus 7-Up or Pepsi versus Dr Pepper. We're talking Coke versus Coke Zero or Pepsis versus Diet Pepsi. Same taste (more or less) – the only difference is in how long it takes before they screw up your body.
Political parties figured out something long, long ago. They realized that people are fundamentally lazy. People don't want to know how politics and governments work. They naturally gravitate towards that big "EASY" button. So political parties figured out that slogans and sound bites work much better at getting their guys elected than white papers and in-depth political analysis. They've taken great pains to dumb-down everything they do.
But the simple truth is that there isn't a dimes' worth of difference between the real positions of the two parties on any substantive issue. Doubt me? McCain supported the carbon tax nonsense, health care 'reform' and a ban on torture. His positions differ from Obama's not in where he wanted to take us, but only in how fast he wanted to get us there.
It's like that all over. At one time, we were told that most Democrats were in favor of government solutions to most problems, entitlements, and liberal causes. We were told that Republicans were in favor of smaller government, lower taxes, and self-sufficiency.
Truth is, none of that is really true. When Bush and the GOP controlled the White House and Congress, the Federal government grew exponentially. Programs like the Medicare drug plan lead to a skyrocketing deficit. But Bush was a Progressive piker when compared to Obama, a guy that has grown the national debt to levels that nobody – Republican or Democrat – could have imagined even just three years ago. You can think of them as Republicrats – six of one, half-a-dozen of another.
So what's a voter to do? Short answer: Do your homework. It's not rocket science, people. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and presume that most everybody reading this site is a huge fan of the 2nd Amendment. If you like the 2nd, you should give a read to the other nine in the Bill of Rights. Winners all. Then while you're in a reading mood, you might wanna give a look at the rest of the Constitution and the other amendments. Seriously.
Now for those of you who stayed asleep in Civics class, the Constitution is also known as the Supreme Law of the Land. When a law gets passed, it has to pass Constitutional muster. If it fails to conform to the Constitution, it can be thrown out by the Judicial branch. So you'd think that politicians would have an undying affection for the Constitution. After all, they all take an oath at their swearing in ceremony, to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.
But most politicians take a somewhat cavalier view towards adhering to the the limits set forth in the Constitution. And that's the root of our problems today.
Wanna know who to vote for. I'll tell you. Figure out which candidate actually believes in and supports the Constitution. It's that simple.
Now, of course, the Devil's in the details. At election time, everybody SAYS they support the Constitution. So how do you determine the best candidate? You have to look at their records. Spotted a trend here, bunkie? Yup. You gotta' do your homework. You've got to actually pay attention to not just what they say, but also what they do…or more importantly, what they've done in the past. Most politicians actions speak so loudly, you won't be able to hear what they're saying, anyway. But that means that it's up to you to make up your mind.
Sometimes (like in the last Presidential election) we didn't have much of a choice. In that case, I'd recommend you go for the Lesser of Two Weasels theory of pol picking. The word politics, by the way comes to us from the Latin – poly or "many" and tics, for small, blood-sucking insects.
But whatever you do – vote. Vote as if your life depends on it, because it does. So does your livelihood, and your country. Forget labels like "Democrat Party" "Republican Party" and "Tea Party" – vote for the person who you think will uphold the Constitution.
The Founding Fathers were some pretty sharp guys. They came up with a system of government that the world had never seen before. It was a system with built-in checks and balances that was designed to limit the size and growth of government. And it has worked, for over 200 years, despite the best attempts of those who do not undersand it or like it, to dismantle it. It may not be perfect. At times, in fact, it's pretty awful. But it's LESS awful than literally every other form of government that has ever existed.
So…let's put aside our petty differences for a day, and do something for the country. Let's forget about "D" or "R" or incumbents versus newbies. Let's set aside single issues like gun rights, abortion rights, or human rights. Instead, let's send people to work that actually believe in what they will swear to support.
Let's elect people that will actually support our Constitution. We get that job done, and maybe we won't have to constantly defend the 2nd Amendment along with every other part of our legal system, but turn our attentions to getting us out of the mess we find ourselves in.
Ignore the mud-slinging. Look for facts. Ignore the slogans. Look at the record. Ignore the parties. Look for character, integrity, and honor. And if you are a spiritual individual, pray that voters select the best people for the awesome responsibilities that come with wielding power.

Our constitution is so poorly written that nobody "knows" what it really means. Even sophisticated constitutional scholars, who spend their entire careers studying the Supreme Law of the Land, cannot agree, and get completely bogged down with issues like "original intent" and esoteric discussions about parsing antique language and anayzing punctuation marks.
A better guideline is for voters to know what they want, and then vote for candidates whose positions mirror their own. Since all politicians lie, vote them out if they don't deliver.
When the Romans were faced with a century of troops who did not do their duty in battle, they lined them up against a wall and put every tenth one to the sword. This got the attention of the other nine. The proceess was called "decimation." It was extreme but effective. The vote is our sword to make politicians do what we want, and not what they want. Use it!
William C Montgomery October 28, 2010 At 19:42
I don't think that I can agree that the "constitution is so poorly written that nobody 'knows' what it really means." For the most part it is crystal clear. I think where we get into trouble is 1) when modern "scholars" attempt to interpret the document through a 21st century frame of reference and 2) when modern activists try to gin up new "interpretations" to fit whatever agenda they are pushing. Both ends of the political spectrum are guilty of these errors.
William, I've been practicing law, including constitutional law, for over thirty years. The Constitution is many things, but crystal clear it is not. Privileges and immunities — what's that? Due process — how much process is due, and when? Provide for the general welfare — how? The commerce clause — what constitutes interstate commerce? The list goes on. Right now, the courts in Montana are deciding whether Montan or federal law controls guns and ammo made and sold exclusively within the state. Sounds like an easy call, right? But the last I checked, Montana doesn't make the steel nor the polymers nor the powder. Those come only through interstate commerce. And even if the Montana did make the finished goods, the raw materials come from somewhere else, including overseas. The situation is as clear as mud.
But you and I are on the same page when it comes to interpretation. People will read into that document whatever they want to read. That's my point. We all do it — even 2A supporters like us. So find a candidate who agrees with your interpretation, vote for him or her, campaign, rally, protest and do whatever you have to do.
First, I did qualify my remarks by stating that the constitution is clear "for the most part." Obviously, there are points of confusion.
Second, the US Constitution is a constitution, not a law book. Therefore, much of it is designed to set forth guiding principles, not legal code. It is clear to me that the framers intended that specific definition of [intentionally] vague notions such as "due" or "general" means should be set by the people through legislative actions, preferably at the local level. As such, I do not find those clauses "poorly written," as you characterized them to be.

Tips = be sure to check alignment of parts before drilling any holes. Make sure you have the wheels centered before starting installation and replace the nuts and bolts supplied with grade 8 hardware.
Benefits = Reduced bump steering and following of ruts on the highway. Off-road allow greater reduction of wheel deflection from rocks, ruts, potholes and obstacles.
1. Replace the 2 – 3/8" x 1" bolts with grade 8 ones that are 1 ½Â" in length. I stripped the treads on the grade 5 bolts provided in the kit when trying to torque down the bracket.
2. Place the cross member bracket behind the right side of the front cross member with the scribe line in the bracket horizontal. Line that up with the bottom edge of the cross member and clamp tight.
3. Using the hole in the bracket as a guide, drill a 3/8" hole through the cross member and bolt the bracket to the cross member with a 3/8" x 1 1/2" bolt, nyloc nut and 2 washers.
4. With a center punch, mark a spot on the face of the cross member in the approximate position shown (1 ¼Â" from the left side of the end of the bracket and ½Â" up from the bottom of the cross member.
5. Install the remaining 3/8" x 1 1/2" bolt, nut and 2 washers in the new hole. Remove the clamp.
6. Install the drag link bracket to the drag link. Leave it loose enough so it can be slid up and down the drag link. Remember the drag link is the bar that attaches to the steering box and the passenger side wheel.
7. Install the boot on the stabilizer.
8. Install the stabilizer on the bracket. Do not over tighten the bushings or they wonÂ't work properly. The bushing should be tight, but not to the point that the bushing is deformed.
11. To check for proper clearance, rotate the wheels from lock to lock. Recheck all bolts after 100 miles of use.
Notes: Some notes on the kit. The instruction provided have some good drawings to help assist you in your installation. I have not included these diagram notes here. A tip from installing a Rancho kit is to turn the wheels to the full right, then extend the stabilizer fully minus ½Â". Then tighten the drag link bracket at that point on the drag link.


Because I work in IT, I end up getting a lot of questions that deal with technical support, such as how do I unfreeze or reset my iPod device! I'm not sure why so many people have been asking me that lately, but since they are, I thought I would write up a quick post on how to go about resetting your iPod if it has frozen up!
Of course, telling you how to reset an iPod Nano may work for some, but not for those who have an iPod Touch, so I'll try to list out the instructions for as many as I can! Here we go! One other thing to note is that if the resetting procedure does not work, you can also try to connect the device to a power source and then try again.
Note that you might first see the "Slide to Turn Off" option appear on the screen, but that's ok. Keep holding the two buttons and then the iPod Touch will turn off completely. Then simply press the Sleep/Wake button again for a few seconds to turn it back on.
Another thing to note is that this is the same procedure for resetting an iPhone or an iPad also.
To reset the 6th generation iPod Nano, you have to hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume Down button at the same time for at least 8 seconds. For the iPod Nano 7th generation, shown below, you have to press Sleep/Wake button and the Home button until the screen goes black.
2. Now press and hold the Menu and Select buttons until the Apple logo appears, which could take from 6 to 10 seconds. You might have to perform this step several times.
You can also reset an iPod Mini in the same way as the above steps.
1. First , eject your iPod shuffle from iTunes, if you have it connected.
2. Then remove the iPod shuffle from the USB dock.
3. Move the switch that is on the top or side of the iPod shuffle to the off position. You know you are in the off position when you can't see the green stripe.
4. Wait 5 seconds. If you have the 3rd or 4th generation iPod Shuffle, wait 10 seconds.
5. Move the switch back to the on position so green stripe will be visible in either position.
And that's it! Hopefully, now that you know these steps, you don't have to keep taking out the battery to unfreeze your iPod! Any comments or questions, make sure to write below! Enjoy!

Norah Jones wonders if it's possible to hit the reset button on her brooding song, "Begin Again," the title-track from her new collection of singles, out today, April 12th.
The track finds Jones crafting a smokey, jazz-tinged vibe as she lets her piano rumble and settle over a constant shuffle of drums. Jones rarely pushes her vocals above a soft croon, but her lyrics are vivid and sharp with a political edge: "Can a nation built on blood," she sings, "Find its way out of the mud?/Will the people at the top/ Lose their way enough to stop?/Can we begin again?"
Begin Again comprises seven songs Jones recorded over the past year with various collaborators including Jeff Tweedy, Thomas Bartlett and Brian Blade. The record is out digitally, as well as on CD and vinyl.
Jones is set to embark on a North American tour this summer, starting June 18th at Heinz Hall in Pittsburgh, PA. The run includes a joint-date with Mavis Staples — July 16th at Red Rocks in Morrison, Colorado — and closes with Jones' first performances in Alaska, July 31st in Juneau and then a three-night stand in Anchorage, August 2nd through 4th.

Expedition Challenge Issues
Thread: Expedition Challenge Issues
25th Nov 2015, 00:58 by ProvDrummer #1
ProvDrummer
I'm at a total of 500 challenges completed at the moment. There seem to be a few broken ones I've discovered so far. Some may just be brain-farts on my end, I'm hoping they are.
'Moving Targets' Challenge in the 'Siberian Wilderness' Level ("Kill 5 rabbits in under 1:00")
The Rabbits are broken, they simply stop spawning. It seems the longer you wait before playing the level again the better chance you have. I just tried it and was one away, but there were only 4 that spawned. I've ran around for over an hour continuously and found about 2 total.
Somehow managed to get this one as well, also by pre-firing explosive arrows everywhere and waiting a while before attempting again. I still feel it needs to be addressed.
'Hare-Brained' Challenge in the 'Hunting Grounds' Level ("Kill 10 rabbits")
This challenge requires you to kill 10 Rabbits, and has the same problem as the one listed above: Rabbits simply not spawning and/or de-spawning.
Managed to get this one by pre-firing explosive arrows at bushes I know spawn Rabbits.
'Bookworm' Challenge in 'The Copper Mill' Level ("Collect 5 documents")
I've search here for about an hour and even went and looked at the map for my 100% file and can only find 4 documents, the challenge require you to find 5.
Found an OoB glitch to get a 5th document: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tV-dG1AtxB8
'Pickup Collector' Challenges in 'The Tower' Level ("Collect 35/40/48 score pickups or more")
The last time I ran this level I collected 33 pickups, which is 2 shy of the tier "I" challenge. I'm thinking the challenges are listed too high for the stage. Either that or there is a shooting range of lanterns that I'm missing.
Credit to GT: 'X TwiZtiD Jay X' A big portion of the score pickups are behind spawn. In-order to crawl under the gate you must trigger the helicopter scene halfway through the level, then travel back to the start.
'Collector' Challenge in the 'Research Base' Level ("Collect all Archivist Maps, Gift of Alms, Resource Chests, and Documents")
I've spent hours searching for these and have one shy each time, it has to be a Gift of Alm or Resource Chest. There is an area I can't get to that contains a Wisp I can see, thinking it's over there. It's on your left as you run from the helicopter fire.
Found an OoB for this one too. Get 14 then head back to start, you can find 5+ in the Soviet Installation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOqz_6RVudU
Thanks in-advance for any help and replies.

Hey ProvDrummer!
Don't know whether you or someone else trying to get the Expedition Challenges ist still reading this, but I'll try my luck, before opening a new thread.
I have the exact same problems with the exact same challenges... And some others you didn't mention too...
Would you be so kind and explain what you mean by pre-firing explosive arrows into the bushes? The best I could get in the Hunting Grounds was six rabbits killed that just appeared, but then, as you said, the whole level is void of animals. In the Siberian Wilderness there are none at all...
About the stuff you can only get when you backtrack to parts of the level that are not supposed to be entered in Score Attack... Thanks for your vids that show how to do that!
But I think it can't be that you're supposed to do that in order to get these challenges done... On the other hand: The levels are complete even with Pickup Points. What's the point of them existing in an area you're not supposed to reach?!
Maybe you or someone else reading this can enlighten me how to get the Speed Run Challenges in the first two levels. Espacially in the Prophet's Tomb. I rushed through and and got down to 5:23. I need to be around half a minute faster to get all three challenges, but I don't know where to get it.
In a video of a Speed Run on YouTube I saw, both timers, time and score combo stopped while destroying the four brick walls in the level. The one soon after the start and the three for raising the water level. In my game (and also some other vids i watched) the timer keeps happily counting during the wall destructions.
The last one that is bugging me ist the execution one on the Village. There are about ten enemies, more than enough, but every time I tried the game just stops accepting the kills after I enter the second house (where the majority of the enemies is coming...)
I'd be thankful for any idea or help!
Since nobody found answers so far worth mentioning...
I got most of the stuff I complained about and am now only missing nine challenges to complete in Score Attack/Chapter Replay. Four of which are the ones to solve the level without damage, what is a frustration on its own, but seem doable. And the others:
The OoB tricks from ProvDrummer work fine in all three instances: Copper Mill Documents, Research Base Collector and Tower Pickup Collector, although I had to reload a checkpoint in the last one mentioned to get it working... Tedious.. And surely still not meant to be that way...
I got it the execution ones in the Village as well after trying it over and over again. I guess it is kind of luck when the game desides to keep counting... Had the same situation in the Outskirts of Kitezh, but it worked eventually in both cases with a couple of tries.
The rabbits not spawning: It's really lame. I don't know what ProvDrummer meant with his method of shooting explosive arrows into bushes, but I tried both levels about twenty times each without getting enough rabbits to spawn. I don't know how I am supposed to do that other than sheer luck. Help is still welcome!
So it is with the Speed Run in The Prophet's Tomb. I was able to cut two seconds to 5:21 minutes what is still 26 seconds too much for the Speed Run III. If there isn't a way of cutting a part of the level, there is no way to get that for me. On the Top ~200 of the leaderboards I only found three people having times under 4:55. And then there is still the topic of the time that keeps running when destroying the walls with your pickaxe, when it stops in other peoples games. THAT'S surely not my fault.
And I ran into a new problem while trying to get Kill Streak in Upcoming Storm and - fun, fun - it's a spawning problem. At the only point in the level where there are eight enemies to kill, now everytime I play I get only four to six with some or all that should be in the house not being there... Maybe you can get animal kills at some other point but I didn't come across more than two animals in the whole level...
If I get some of these I'll update the thread.
20th May 2016, 12:45 by stefan251 #5
Sou, just an update before I start a couple of own threads about it, hoping this will bring up some help.
I now got the challenges I still miss down to five (Hare Brained in Hunting Grounds, Speed Runner II and II in The Prophet's Tomb, Kill Streak in Approaching Storm and Carnivore in Endurance). I already have 701. Seems I am the one with most challenges solved on the entire 360 leaderboards. Maybe I am the only completionist around there... At least I try to be. If it wasn't for those five challenges giving me headache.
Maybe it's only me not thinking of the easiest solutions, but I'm really at my wits' end.
But I actually did two that were also continuously bugging me:
Finally got the Moving Targets in Siberian Wilderness. I don't know how, I don't know why. I didn't do anything differently than all the other bazillon times I tried it. At the beginning there was only one exotic deer as usual, but after fighting with the bear and returning to the main area, somehow magically animals started to pop up at every end. I have NOT not played it for a long time, actually there were only two or there Cold Darkness rounds between two tries and yeah, I don't know. I think it is basically just pure stupid luck, sorry to be no more help with this one.
Another one that was a problem for some people on the Internet is Untouchable in the Flooded Archives. The solution for this one is actually so damn stupidly easy but I didn't think of it as didn't the others. The problem: At the very end of the level you do a last rope jump and land next to a couple of explosives. They are supposed to explode and set you on fire. And just before the last jump down into the cave where the level ends there is another explosive that ALWAYS deals damage to you. Now the fun fact: I always tried to avoid being set on fire by the first set of Greek Fires. Yeah, no, that miraculously doesn't deal any damage to you. Lara burns but who cares. You just need to avoid the second explosion and thanks to a thread on Steamcommunity about this the solution is: you need to run on the small ledge outside the pillars and this second Greek Fire won't bother you. I did it twice in a row and it worked both times. At first it is a littly bit tricky to stay on the ledge at full running speed but it's not too difficult to master.
So, after you run past the first explosives that set you on fire head straight out to the ledge, run there and jump down the hole at the end. Should work.

After getting tremendous help from two nice people at Stella's Tomb Raider Site, I was able to beat both of the Speed Runner challenges in The Prophet's Tomb still WITH the counter ticking while destroying the walls, but there is only a margin for one or two tiny errors and in the end it was exactly 4:55 minutes. For anyone who is also bugged by this, just for reference, when entering the narrow passageway after the bridge collapsed and your timer freezes you should have ~8560 time bonus left. After the swimming passage before entering the main tomb it should be ~7770 and after the last waterlevel puzzle when climbing up to the sarcophagus at least ~6000.
Also thanks to said help, I was finally able to beat the Kill Streak in Approaching Storm. Again, when you know, what you need to do, it is actually quite simple. I always tried to get the Streak within the third enemies encounter after the cutscene in which Lara hides in the bush, what might be possible in other versions of the game on PC or Xbox One, but seems not to work on the 360. Now I got the advice, to lure the enemies from the second encounter up the hill, what results in the cutscene in the bush not being triggered and having about ten enemies at once to kill. Easy, but it must come to one's mind, when you think you have to do it normally: kill all enemies from one place THEN move on and not luring the enemies from one place to another one, that is normally separated even by a cutscene.
But the other two that are still missing... Gonna open new threads about them. Maybe there are some responsible people seeing it.

Although I'm not necessarily a completionist, I do like to complete 1 more than everybody else
The missing animals is a bug, if you replay the mission in the same session all the "random" animals will disappear. As a work-around restart the game (exit to dashboard and restart) before playing the mission.
As long as you do that you can get the "moving target" challenge every time.
That also works for Hunting Grounds, except there's only 6 rabbits and they're finite, - no new ones spawn after you kill them. That goes for all animals on that level except birds (which appear infinite).
I've had no luck going out of bounds up to the Research Base, - so I'm pretty much out of ideas of how to get that one.
Also no luck on "carnivore", - I've just spent the evening looking for eagles, rats and chickens and finding none (and for good measure I did all that without eating plants).
So I'm stuck on 704 as well.
I'm pretty sure that timer running while breaking down walls is a X360 specific "feature", I have that too and I'm pretty sure the videos with timer stopping are from other platforms. It also doesn't add to the combo count when you break down a wall.
11th Jul 2016, 06:28 by stefan251 #8
Hey HiF1yer, you're the one exactly one spot above me in the leaderboards, right? xD
Seems you're missing the same two as I do. Yeah for OoB to Research Base you'd need that stupid climbing arrow and I don't think that works.
BUT I can say for sure (since I had that case only the day before yesterday) there can be more than six rabbits in the Hunting Ground, since I managed to get seven. What isn't enough as well, but it's a beginning. I'm still trying to find out what exactly ProvDrummer meant by "pre-firing explosive arrows into bushes he knows spawn rabbits".
Except the three spawning places I found after the rope slide, there really is the chance of getting animals to spawn right at the beginning of the level before the rope slide. The help I mentioned earlier told me that in the PC version there are birds and rabbits appeared there on a regular base. So I gave it a try and after around 15 min of jumping around up there doing different stuff a bird popped up out of nowhere! I killed myself by jumping down the chasm reappeared not at the level starting point but way back at the giant metal door where you would emerge from during normal story mode. And the bird was there again but now for the interesting part, I shot an explosive arrow into the bush nearest to the tower where you start the level on an suddenly I had one killed rabbit! I never saw it, didn't see its corpse or was able to loot it, since the button symbol was never appearing, BUT I killed one rabbit there. So there can be ones. But even if there would have been two like everywhere else, it would have racked up to eight - what is still two short of the ten we need... And I can't say what is it that triggers the rabbits to appear in the upper part of the level. For all i know, it is pure luck...
And Carnivore is just bugged for sure... I opened an own thread about that one already, where I wrote everything I now know about the problem and just hope someone responsible will look into it... And actually this animal spawning problem as well...

Yeah I'm HiF1yer on the expeditions leader board.
I gave it a try and got 2 rabbits in the area behind the first rope slide. They are completely predictable: 1 in the bush below the ladder and 1 in the bush in front of the silos. You can shoot them with explosive arrows without leaving the tower.
So I need to revise my previous statement to: There's only 6 visible rabbits.
I've bombarded every bush I could find and haven't found any more invisible rabbits, - so the maximum is now at 8.
Btw. You get all the tools if you select "Chapter Replay Elite", so you have broadhead and rope arrows and the grapple. But you still can't get up to the research base because you can't attach the arrows to the wall.

That's a vid my helping contact made on the PC version of the game, doing Hare Brained. I find it hilarious how he jumps down from starting point and two rabbits were already there... -___-'
But in the end he also had a tough time finding the last rabbit... Running around for minutes and finding it in a spawing place he already had THREE rabbits (at once!). He said he also didn't find any more rabbits after getting ten. But I think it's quite safe to say it IS definitively a spawning problem...
I also tried some stuff. I think it's not possible to get back up the rope after you slid down. You can get up the roof of the house, but as soon as you jump on the rope, you automatically slide down again with no buttons pressable. So getting back up is a no-go. You can get into the Copper Mill, but I don't think that there are rabbits normally. I had the brave thought of working through aaaaaall the way into the Geothermal Valley but that was brought to a halt, since you can't fire a rope arrow at the end of the level - there is nothing to be shot at. Backtracking from there wasn't possible either so suicide was the only way out. I also managed to get back into the Hunting Grounds in hope that maybe there would be some kind of spawn reset after leaving the area and coming back. But no luck so far. Gotta try it again without dying, but I'm not really confident about that.
My other thought was that the remaining two rabbits might be also hiding ones in the other the bushes right at the beginning, since there are four of them. Also no luck with that as well. I'm gradually running out of ideas...
13th Jul 2016, 15:32 by HiF1yer #11
I have been watching some videos from XB1 and PC too. Here's one that shows a couple of spawn points: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeJwfZ1cmvk#t=295
I'm not sure they're the same as I get (I usually spot them further down the map), - but no luck from carpet bombing those bushes either.
I have tried the Copper Mill too. I can backtrack without problem, but all animals are gone when I get back to the hunting grounds.
There's another small area across the water (where you go to free those remnant prisoners), it has bushes but apparently no animals.
So best bet for an OoB solution is the Research Base, which seems unreachable.
I can get really close to that ledge with the cache, by scrambling up the rock. but just before reaching it Lara just sprawls mid-air and refuses to jump.
Edit: Sorry, I can't backtrack down the Copper Mill. I forgot that you get sent down to the forecourt when you die and from there you can get back out.
But I've managed to get down to the Copper Mill bridge (where you get the broadhead arrows in the game) from the top of the Copper Mill. It's not really helpful though, you can only get halfway cross the broken bridge before being blocked by an invisible wall, and the first part of the zip-line back down is missing so you're basicly stuck.
But it should work as an alternative solution to the Copper Mill documents challenge.
To avoid getting sent back down every death, I used a Copper Mill replay (without attaching the last rope). I'm assuming a Hunting Grounds replay will be the same.

Funny enough, I today died on my way up the Copper Mill, spawned back at the camp at the bottom of it, jumped back into the Hunting Grounds via OoB and there were still animals. I mean no new rabbits OF COURSE, but the animals I didn't kill earlier.
It seems you can get everywhere except that damn Research Base. Maybe there is some weird-ass way to get back into Siberian Wilderness. But that is even farther away. On the other hand there even is a really lenghty OoB vid about someone going from Hunting Grounds into the Gulag, what is essentially also quite useless concerning our problem...
Hell, I'd even take some stupid Moon Jump cheat when it gets me those damn two last rabbits. -_-'
Did you maybe have some luck with Carnivore...?
No, no luck with carnivore. I'm not even trying.
Without any sort of progress indicator I've got no idea what I'm supposed to do, - apart from the obvious which isn't working.
18th Mar 2018, 04:56 by stefan251 #14
Hey HiF1yer!
Gotta send you a message via Xbox to get you to read this if you're still interested.
But I must say I find it quite an achievement. Carnivore is done! Apparently there are two different types of birds (light and dark ones) that count as single animals to be hunted. I got into detail in its own thread.
I find it just stupid. Whoever programmed this must have thought it to be extremely funny. This is then the third challenge I mentioned in this thread that is actually easy to do, when you know WHAT to do - what you can only find out through sheer coincidence and luck - besides the ones that are only completable with some OoB magic - these challenges are seriously bugged or programmed in vicious ways to give players headaches.
So only Hare Brained is missing now. What as far as I can say is just not possible in the Xbox360 version of the game. Nice. One challenge of 706 that can't be done. Very OCD friendly there... -_-
Of course looking at all the other stuff you need to do and mess with the game mechanics and trick and cheat to get other challenges done there is still the possibility that I don't know you have to run around in circles for 12 minutes and 43 seconds straight and then the rabbit spawn magically resets or some other BS or you have to equip a specific set of cards who knows what. I would want to do it legally, but if there is no other way I'm gonna use some cheating devices that may be helping with it. Since there has never been any help or advice from some of the officials and I don't think there will ever be. Actually quite a pity...
5th Dec 2018, 23:45 by stefan251 #15
I'm quite sure nobody is reading this anymore, because everyone is busy pointing out bugs in Shadow of the Tomb Raider, but I'll post it anyway, because I'm quite proud of myself and it feels like a real gaming achievement.
I did it.
Hare Brained in Hunting Grounds is officially beaten on Xbox360!
My OCD has been relieved. I start strutting and braging now that I'm the only one who has done all 706 challenges in this game playing it on that console! HA!
I go into a little bit more detail in its own thread, although I actually don't know how I did it. But I also actually don't care a BIT.
Thanks to all the dedicated players who helped in finding out the obscure ways to do some of these challenges and NO thanks AT ALL to the people running this forum, who actually should be helping frustrated and desperate players but chose to do nothing, when many of our problems could have been solved by those responsible for the game in a matter of minutes and few sentences. I say it again: REALLY customer friendly there Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics! -_-

Ipomadi Toko (Miep) Pelenapin is een Surinaams inheems leider. Hij is hoofdkapitein van de Wayana aan de Lawarivier in Suriname. Hij wordt door hen ook wel aangeduid als granman.

Biografie
Pelenapin was enige jaren de levenspartner van antropoloog Karin Boven. Ze hebben samen een dochter. Hij is de achterkleinzoon van Toko Ipomadi die naar de Litanirvier kwam vanuit de Yari-regio. Hij werd in 2005 benoemd tot hoofdkapitein van de Wayana en wordt in de volksmond stamhoofd genoemd. Hoewel de Wayanadorpen allen als autonoom worden beschouwd, behoren voor hem als stamhoofd naast de inwoners in zijn woonplaats Kawemhakan (voorheen Anapaike) ook de inwoners van de volgende Surinaamse dorpen tot zijn volk: Abunasunga, Koemakapan en Paloemeu.

Pelenapin maakt zich sinds jaren bezorgd om de goudwinning in het gebied en de kwikverontreiniging die erbij gepaard gaat. In 2009 hield de Organisatie van Inheemsen in Suriname hierom een onderzoek in het Wayanagebied, waarbij ook de bevolking medisch werd onderzocht. Uit het onderzoek bleek dat de Wayana's in het gebied zware kwikvergiftiging hebben opgelopen.

In 2012 werd Pelenapin lid van het bestuur van de Vereniging Inheemse Dorpshoofden Suriname (VIDS); Lesley Artist was sinds die tijd voorzitter van de vereniging. Toen Artist in 2018 uit de VIDS stapte, waarna tien dorpshoofden zijn voorbeeld volgden, bleef Pelenapin met de andere dorpen wel lid van VIDS. Wel richtte hij in april 2018 samen met Jupta Itoewaki daarnaast de stichting Mulokot op, om specifiek het Wayana-volk te kunnen vertegenwoordigen.

Doordat er geen school in Kawemhakan aanwezig is, zijn de kinderen sinds jaren aangewezen op onderwijs aan de Franse zijde in het Wayanagebied. In 2019 pleitte Pelenapin er daarom bij de Surinaamse regering voor om het gebied opnieuw te voorzien van Nederlandstalig onderwijs. Door de afwezigheid van een school aan Surinaamse zijde zijn veel kinderen de Nederlandse taal niet meer machtig en spreken ze Wayana en Frans. De school was sinds de Binnenlandse Oorlog gesloten. Sinds circa 2020/2021 wordt er op eigen kosten weer Nederlandse les gegeven.

Tijdens de corona-uitbraak in Suriname liet Pelenapin de Lawa Anapaike Airstrip bij het dorp barricaderen, omdat een lokale vliegmaatschappij vijf personen naar het dorp had gevlogen. Hij wilde ermee voorkomen dat het coronavirus op die manier het dorp zou bereiken en dorpelingen zou besmetten. Aan het begin van de landelijke vaccinatiecampagne liet Pelenapin zich als eerste vaccineren om argwaan tegenover het vaccin onder de Wayanabevolking weg te nemen.
