  • Der Schwarze Tag”
    CHAPTER XIV “DER SCHWARZE TAG” ’rHE Australian infantry winding along their numerous approach tracks, constantly passing black silent masses of waiting tanks and crowded guns, were excited with their own realisation of the facts to which Monash’s message referred- that at last all five divisions of their national army were attack- ing together, that the Canadian force was attacking beside them, and that this time they were not to be stopped short of the opposing guns-and also of the elating circumstance that, so far, the enemy showed no awareness of the blow about to fall. The infantry brigades started their approach at different hours, mostly between midnight and 1.30 a.m.; the troops of the two divisions that were to launch the first stages of attack (at 4.20) mostly passed through-and reached their jumping-off tapes before-those of the two divisions for the second objective. These then followed and assembled behind them.’ At 3 a.m. when most units of the leading divisions had thus assembled and lain down, but about half of the two rearward ones were still moving up the tracks close behind them,2 the air became dimmed by a morning mist which quickly thickened until at 3.30 it was difficult to see more than twenty yards on either side. “It was getting too foggy to be pleasant,” said Col. Sadler of the 17th Battalion afterwards describing the assembly. Men of Elliott’s 15th Brigade, then toiling up from Bois 1’AbbC to their starting lines by the brickfield in rear of the Australian right, have told how they were becoming anxious as to their direction when lights were suddenly seen in the mist ahead and there was the number of their battalion, 57, glowing above 1 In some places.

All along the Eastern Coast of the United States, people flock to their nearest pond for a day of relaxation and frolicking in perfect conditions. However, unknown to most of the adventurers, conditions are far from perfect. Just below the water, a menace preys. Large, hostile, and nearly reptilian, the monster lurks, eating native species, and gnawing on the heels of visitors.

  • Climate Change, Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area Patrick Gonzalez
    Climate Change, Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area Patrick Gonzalez Abstract Greenhouse gas emissions from human activities have caused global climate change and widespread impacts on physical systems, ecosystems, and biodiversity. To assist in the integration of climate change science into resource management in Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area (NRA), particularly the proposed restoration of wetlands at Watergate, this report presents: (1) results of original spatial analyses of historical and projected climate trends at 800 m spatial resolution, (2) results of a systematic scientific literature review of historical impacts, future vulnerabilities, and carbon, focusing on research conducted in the park, and (3) results of original spatial analyses of precipitation in the Vancampens Brook watershed, location of the Watergate wetlands. Average annual temperature from 1950 to 2010 increased at statistically significant rates of 1.1 ± 0.5ºC (2 ± 0.9ºF.) per century (mean ± standard error) for the area within park boundaries and 0.9 ± 0.4ºC (1.6 ± 0.7ºF.) per century for the Vancampens Brook watershed. The greatest temperature increase in the park was in spring. Total annual precipitation from 1950 to 2010 showed no statistically significant change. Few analyses of field data from within or near the park have detected historical changes that have been attributed to human climate change, although regional analyses of bird counts from across the United States (U.S.) show that climate change shifted winter bird ranges northward 0.5 ± 0.3 km (0.3 ± 0.2 mi.) per year from 1975 to 2004. With continued emissions of greenhouse gases, projections under the four emissions scenarios of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) indicate annual average temperature increases of up to 5.2 ± 1ºC (9 ± 2º F.) (mean ± standard deviation) from 2000 to 2100 for the park as a whole.
