![]() In the course of my life there, I was being asked to do things that I couldn't do, I wouldn't do because I felt the desire and the conviction that I was responsible for what I did. I want choices for my children, for my grandchildren. That very empowering, really, to hear that. I hadn't heard that until now, what the judge had said. What did you want the court public to know about your life in Bountiful and the life of your children? She was impartial." That you gave you testimony in such a style that was so convincing it had a great effect on the judge and on her decision. Blackmore, she said that your testimony was so credible that, and this is a quote, "There was nothing contrived or rehearsed in her answers.

I was fortunate in the fact that my older daughters were not married into polygamous families, but they were young and, you know, their marriages were arranged. I have two older daughters and they were married when they were just barely, barely 17. ![]() I was just desperate to not feel responsible for what was going on for women and children in the community. I had a nine-year-old daughter. I felt like if I waited any longer it would be more difficult for me to protect her and provide a life for her that I felt I wanted, and for myself. I felt like I was doing it for them, and doing it for me, and doing it for my daughters, my sons. You did it for those women that you couldn't help for so many years - the other wives of your former partner - you did it for them. Jane Blackmore, former Bountiful resident I would definitely like for future generations to have a choice with what they believe, what they read, what they wear, who they marry, what kind of education they receive. And in the position I was in, with being the first wife of the leader of the community, and caregiver for many women in the community, I didn't feel like I could protect them. I could see many, many difficult situations women were in. That was among them, for sure.ĭuring my life, I've been in a position where I had the confidence and the responsibility of caring for women, and during my time in the community, I felt like my hands were tied. I've done many difficult things in my life. ![]() How difficult was that to you to testify, to speak truth to that? Winston Blackmore, left, and James Oler were each charged with one count of polygamy. Many people, especially women and children, were being hurt and I feel like it needs to be stopped. I was convinced many years ago that I didn't believe in what was going on and felt it was wrong. I was subpoenaed - but obviously I couldn't have been forced to talk about my former partner.īut I felt like it was important to speak my truth. Why did you agree to testify against Winston Blackmore? I'm 61 years old and the controversy regarding polygamy and the community of Bountiful has been my whole life. She left the fundamentalist Christian polygamist community in 2003 and fled to Cranbrook, B.C., where As It Happens host Carol Off reached her Friday.ĭid you think that you would see this day? She was also Bountiful's midwife. Oler is her half-brother. They have seven children together, and 46 grandchildren. Jane Blackmore was Winston Blackmore's first wife of more than two dozen - and the only one who testified against him court. She married him when she was 18. Supreme Court judge ruled Canada's polygamy laws are constitutional, rejecting the argument from Bountiful, B.C., polygamists Winston Blackmore and James Oler, who claimed the law violated their charter rights.

Others have longer, more complex lures, or even multiple glowing, dangling appendages. Some anglerfish species have very simple lures-which are also known as escas-with just one little dot of light at the tip. That level of variety extends to the glowing lure they use to attract mates and prey. “There’s a lot of different anglerfishes, and they all look pretty different and come in different sizes,” says Bill Ludt, a coauthor on the paper and the museum’s ichthyology curator. ![]() Researchers have known for some time that this dazzling, deadly display is a typical feeding tactic of all anglerfish species, but a study on the rare Pacific footballfish sheds new light on how they get their sparkle.Īccording to results published in the Journal of Fish Biology, this particular species doesn’t just emit a glow: it also converts its shining colors into “an amazing disco ball of light,” says study author Todd Clardy, the ichthyology collections manager at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County (NHM). The last thing they’ll see is a spiny, globe-shaped shadow emerging from behind the glowing orb-then they’ll be ensnared in the toothy maw of an anglerfish. Little do they know that they’re the ones about to become a meal. They likely think that they’ve stumbled upon a prized floating morsel in a relatively resource-deprived habitat. The glimmering shades of blue and green mesmerize curious fish and squid, tempting them closer. But a bobbing bright light sometimes breaks through the abyss.

Those animals’ feathers or scales have multiple layers of intricate micro- or nanostructures to absorb light ( SN: 1/9/18). The newfound mechanism is simpler than how birds or butterflies achieve ultrablackness. Other dark-colored fish tend to have unpigmented gaps between melanosomes, which leads to more light being reflected and a more visible fish. The melanosomes’ size, shape and arrangement may help direct light that isn’t absorbed by an individual melanosome to others in the layer, trapping even more light. The skin has a layer of closely packed, circular, melanin-containing structures called melanosomes that can absorb up to 99.95 percent of light with wavelengths similar to ambient sunlight in the ocean or light from bioluminescent animals. The researchers also examined skin from nine species using electron microscopy and calculated how structures in the skin might absorb light. The team then measured how much light reflected off of the fish. Osborn and her colleagues captured 18 species of ultrablack fish from up to 2,000 meters deep in Monterey Bay off California and in the Gulf of Mexico. Davis et al/ Current Biology 2020Įnter superblack skin. The melanosomes are found beneath a membrane (blue arrows) just under the skin’s surface. These clustered circular structures (shown in electron micrographs of the Pacific blackdragon) absorb nearly all light that hits them, including bioluminescence from other fish. “There’s nowhere to hide.” Unlike normal black fish, ultrablack deep-sea fish have a layer of tightly packed, pigment-containing structures, called melanosomes (red arrows), in the skin. For creatures trying to swim undetected, living in these depths is “like trying to play hide and seek on a football field,” says Karen Osborn, a marine biologist at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. The skin may hide the fish from predators, or prey, and might inspire new designs for ultrablack materials used in telescopes or fabric.Īlthough little light reaches the deep sea, bioluminescent organisms can brighten the inky darkness. That camouflage is the result of a layer of densely packed pigment-containing structures just below the skin’s surface, researchers report online July 16 in Current Biology. Some deep-sea fish have ultrablack skin capable of soaking up almost all light that hits it, making the fish nearly invisible. In the depths of the ocean, it might take more than a little light to illuminate some of the planet’s darkest fish. Add water according to desired consistency.

The flight termination system is essentially a self-destruct feature that SpaceX engaged to prevent the Starship from traveling off course. “The automated flight termination system on second stage appears to have triggered very late in the burn as we were headed down range out over the Gulf of Mexico,” aerospace engineer John Insprucker said. The SpaceX team awaited acquisition of signal from the spacecraft, but shared during the livestream that the “second stage was lost.” The rocket booster and then the spacecraft were lost shortly after liftoff. SpaceX's Starship launches on its second test flight from the Starbase facility in Boca Chica, Texas, on Saturday morning. Internationally, the Kármán line, located 62 miles (100 kilometers) above sea level, is often used to mark the boundary between our planet and space - but there’s a lot of gray area. The US government considers 50 miles (80 kilometers) above Earth’s surface the edge of outer space. Starship climbed to an altitude of about 93 miles (150 kilometers) above the Earth’s surface, reaching the edge of space. SpaceX aimed to send the spacecraft to near orbital velocities, typically around 17,500 miles per hour (28,000 kilometers per hour). The Starship spacecraft used its own six engines to continue propelling itself to faster speeds. About two and a half minutes after roaring to life and vaulting off the launchpad, the Super Heavy booster expended most of its fuel, and the Starship spacecraft fired its own engines and broke away. The Starship upper stage had begun its trip Saturday morning strapped to the top of the Super Heavy first stage, a 232-foot-tall (70.7-meter-tall) rocket. Even during ground tests, SpaceX has had a hard time getting all of those engines, clustered together at the base of the rocket, to power on consistently at the same time. ![]() ET, with the Super Heavy booster igniting all 33 of its Raptor engines. The rocket and spacecraft lifted off the launchpad at 8 a.m. The Starship system made it much farther into flight than the first attempt in April. But the Starship spacecraft was able to briefly continue its journey. That process ended up destroying the Super Heavy booster, which erupted into a ball of flames over the Gulf of Mexico. The Super Heavy booster and Starship spacecraft successfully separated after liftoff, as the Starship lit up its engines and pushed away. SpaceX’s gargantuan deep-space rocket system, Starship, safely lifted off Saturday morning but ended prematurely with an explosion and a loss of signal. ![]() The Gulf War in 1991: The DEFCON level was raised to 2 in response to Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait and the subsequent buildup of US forces in the region. Mahambah / Shutterstock Historical examples of when the DEFCON levels have been raised include: Ultimately, the purpose of the DEFCON system is to ensure that the military is prepared to respond to any potential threat to national security. The military will assess the threat environment and take appropriate action to defend against the threat. Later, on October 24, Strategic Air Command received orders to raise their readiness level to DEFCON 2, while the other branches of the US Armed Forces maintained DEFCON 3. For example, in response to the Cuban Missile Crisis that occurred from October 16 to 28, 1962, the US Armed Forces were directed to DEFCON 3. For example, the military may move from DEFCON 4 to DEFCON 3 in response to a specific threat, and then return to DEFCON 4 once the threat has passed.Īdditionally, the specific actions that are taken at each DEFCON level may vary depending on the situation. It’s important to note that the DEFCON system is a flexible system that can be adjusted as needed to reflect the current threat environment. Increase in surveillance and security measures to enhance protection and vigilance Increase in force readiness above normal levelsĪir Force is prepared to mobilize and be ready for action within a timeframe of 15 minutes The armed forces are prepared to deploy and engage in combat in less than six hours Require maximum readiness and an immediate response Nuclear war is inevitable or has already begun The DEFCON 1 exercise term is ‘Cocked Pistol’. To the best of all available knowledge, then, it has never happened. It has never publicly announced or confirmed that the United States has been at DEFCON 1. This may involve the deployment of nuclear weapons, and the military will take all necessary steps to defend against the threat. At DEFCON 1, the military is fully mobilized and prepared for combat operations. This is the highest level of readiness, which means that the United States is under imminent attack or is in the midst of a large-scale military conflict. The DEFCON 2 exercise term is ‘Fast Pace’. The DEFCON level was raised to 2 during the Cuban Missile Crisis and Persian Gulf War, reflecting the high state of alert and readiness of the US military at that time. This may involve deploying troops and equipment to defensive positions and increasing security measures at key installations. At DEFCON 2, the military is prepared for an imminent attack, and they may take action to defend against the threat. This level represents an extremely high level of military readiness, with only a single step remaining until the highest level of readiness, DEFCON 1. The DEFCON 3 exercise term is ‘Round House’. Rather, it signifies heightened readiness whereby vacations are canceled, troops are called back to their units, and arrangements are made for deployment if required. It’s important to mention that DEFCON 3 does not indicate an actual state of war.
