Being a shield volcano, still active, the island's landscape is arid and dry, caused by the myriad fissure and young lava flows present here. Nowadays, Pinta is home to a variety of wildlife species like Galapagos hawks, Swallow-tailed gulls, sparrow hawks, blue-tailed boobies, mockingbirds, fur seals and marine iguanas, among other amazing species. ![]() Their main purpose, however, is that of reintroducing, with the aid of modern technology, the original Pinta giant tortoise to the island. In 1999, goats were completely removed from the island, as they caused damage to the natural habitats. To counteract the deterioration of the ecosystem, Project Pinta was put into action by conservationists and scientists, working together to restore Pinta Island. His body is on display at the Charles Darwin Research Station on Santa Cruz. Lonesome George was the last tortoise found on the island and it was taken in 1972 to the Tortoise Center on Santa Cruz Island, where he died on 2012. Pinta tortoises went practically extinct in the 20th century, being removed by whalers who used them as a food resource, slaughtered by fishermen and because of the environment's degradation. The island was the initial home of the most famous tortoise in the archipelago, Lonesome George. Pirates used the island as a hiding spot in the 17th century, and the whalers used to frequently stop here in the 18th century. The name Pinta comes from one of the three ships that sailed with Christopher Columbus in the expedition to the New World. It is also known as Abingdon Island, its original name, given in honour of the Earl of Abingdon. ![]() ![]() Pinta Island is a rather large island, at 23 square miles, in the northern part of the Galapagos archipelago.

Now we come to the “balanced trainer” label. We don’t think we could comply with this definition because anyone who has ever put a leash and any type of collar or harness on a dog has used “physical force” (no matter how slight) to control the dog, and if we turn our dog’s head so we can look in her ear we are apparently using “physical molding”. "No Shock, No Pain, No Choke, No Fear, No Physical Force, No physical Molding, No Compulsion Based Methods are employed to train or care for a pet”. Some of the “force free” folks have defined their term – “Force free” is another label applied to trainers. A head collar can be used to negatively reinforce NOT pulling on the leash OR to positively punish pulling on the leash OR viewed as a response prevention tool. Many “positive trainers” we know also use head collars. Negative punishment is almost always the other side of that coin. If “all positive” is supposed to mean ONLY the use of positive reinforcement, that doesn’t seem likely. “All positive” could mean the person uses positive reinforcement and positive punishment. Without either observing the trainer, or asking her what she actually does, that label is open to interpretation, much like the label “stubborn”. Trainers may be labeled by themselves or others as an “all positive trainer”. ![]() Trainers, behaviorists, and behavior consultants also have labels assigned to them without first hand observations of what they do. In that case, it’s simply a case of the motivation to bark being much higher than the motivation to stop. That’s why “stubborn” requires a behavioral description – perhaps the dog continues to bark while his owner shouts “NO”. Dogs labeled as “stubborn” are often in reality confused about what is expected of them, and rather than risking a behavior response that could result in punishment, they instead choose not to respond at all. When we jump immediately to interpretations without first carefully describing what the dog is doing we are more likely to mis-understand why the dog is behaving as he is, or attribute motivations to behavior that aren’t accurate. ![]() For example, describing a dog as “stubborn” is an anthropomorphic interpretation of his behavior and doesn’t really give us any information about what the dog is doing.Įven more behaviorally useful terms such as “fearful” or “defensive” require descriptions of the context, the dog’s body postures and other behaviors to really be sure those interpretations are correct. ![]() Over the years we’ve written many articles about the importance of describing what dogs DO rather than – or at least BEFORE – assigning interpretive labels to their behavior. However, mines directed at other ships might remain. TSM sweeping thus clears mines directed at this ship without knowledge of the mines. If such intelligence is unavailable, the TSM sweeping instead reproduces the influence of the friendly ship that is about to transit the area. MSM sweeping is founded on intelligence on a given type of mine, and produces the output required for detonation of this mine. There are two modes of operating an influence sweep: MSM (mine setting mode) and TSM (target simulation mode or target setting mode). Oropesa Minesweeping Float(A view of the amidships section of the ocean minesweeper USS ENGAGE (MSO-433) showing a paravane in its storage rack)(Image: US Navy) The most common such sweeps are magnetic and acoustic generators. Influence sweeps are equipment, often towed, that emulate a particular ship signature, thereby causing a mine to detonate. They are towed behind the minesweeper, and use a towed body (e.g. oropesa) to maintain the sweep at the desired depth and position. ![]() Mechanical sweeps are devices designed to cut the anchoring cables of moored mines, and preferably attach a tag to help the subsequent localization and neutralization. The modern minesweeper is designed to reduce the chances of it detonating mines itself it is soundproofed to reduce its acoustic signature and often constructed using wood, fiberglass or non-ferrous metal, or is degaussed to reduce its magnetic signature. Minesweepers are equipped with mechanical or electrical devices, known as “sweeps”, for disabling mines. Using various mechanisms intended to counter the threat posed by naval mines, minesweepers keep waterways clear for safe shipping. French Tripartite class minehunter CéphéeĪ minesweeper is a small warship designed to remove or detonate naval mines. A number of modern vessels use catamaran hulls to provide a large, stable working platform with minimal underwater contact this reduces draught whilst lowering acoustic transmission and reducing the fluid pressure generated by the moving hull that may otherwise detonate mines with a hydraulic pressure trigger. As maneuverability in such areas is critical the Voith-Schneider cycloidal propulsor is commonly used, allowing the engine thrust to be transmitted in any direction. Minehunters are generally small, shallow-draught vessels, as they are often called upon to work in enclosed bodies of water such as shipping channels or harbors. ![]() ![]() For example, they are often soundproofed by mounting machinery on shock absorbers or by using the quiet electrical drive, low magnetic electric motors and usually have a wood, fiberglass, or non-ferrous metal hull, or are degaussed to reduce magnetic signature. MinehunterĪ minehunter uses an imaging sonar to detect and classify targets and then sends out divers or remotely operated vehicles to inspect and neutralize the threat, often using small charges that are detonated remotely.Īs minehunters will often be operating in close proximity to mines, they are designed so as to reduce their own acoustic and magnetic signatures, two common forms of trigger for mines. A vessel that combines both of these roles is known as a mine countermeasures vessel ( MCMV). A minehunter is a naval vessel that seeks, detects, and destroys individual naval mines. Minesweepers, on the other hand, clear mined areas as a whole, without prior detection of mines. The film has been called "a seminal modern noir work from the 1970s", which refers to its relationship with the film noir tradition of detective films. Hackman was nominated for a BAFTA Award for his portrayal of private investigator Harry Moseby. Its plot follows a Los Angeles private investigator who uncovers a series of sinister events while searching for the missing teenage daughter of a former movie actress. ![]() With a cast of solid leads and with a lovely visual feel, Night Moves has a groove all to its own and while never reaching grand heights, it’s certainly a sight bit better than many of its more explosive yet idiotic thriller counterparts and a breath of fresh air for those that like their movies tinged with a slower pacing.Night Moves is a 1975 American neo-noir film directed by Arthur Penn, and starring Gene Hackman, Jennifer Warren, Susan Clark, with supporting performances from Melanie Griffith and James Woods. Night Moves is a film too ponderous for the mass market of movie lovers yet it has a humble and effective feel to it that allows those that go along with it to be invested and on edge with what is taking place. The lead cast of three produce an uneasy and well played out chemistry that fits this tale well and along with Jeff Grace’s moody score and Christopher Blauvelt’s stoic cinematography, creates a real unique feel to this non-conventional thriller. Eisenberg is ably supported by another grown up turn by Dakota Fanning who can still deliver dialogue in a unique way and Peter Sarsgaard in another one of his somewhat creepy loner roles. Once the films central act becomes old news the film takes on a less effective yet in the end scenes, tension raddled aspect that sees Reichardt’s cast come to the forefront.Įveryone’s favourite bundle of nervous edginess Jesse Eisenberg is front and centre here in Moves and his natural persona fits perfectly for the characters of Josh, a young man clearly dedicated yet not overly ready for the repercussions of his actions, even if they are in theory, for good. Reichardt’s slow burn pacing and nearly non-existent background work actually works incredibly well in setting up Moves central plot devise, that of an act of eco-terrorism in the blowing up of an energy dam.įor the first hour or so here Reichardt ratchets up the tension to an incredible level and it’s not through scripting or clever edits, merely through a methodical pacing that almost feels as if it’s playing out in real time, making the audience feel a part of whatever is about to go down. This new direction we speak of is that of the eco/environmental thriller, a new sub-genre that has sprung up in recent years as the continued focus on the earth’s natural demise has been more prevalent. Reichardt specialises in a sort of pondering, slow paced narrative that has seen her reach some great heights ( Wendy and Lucy) and some real lowlights ( Meeks Cutoff) that now with Night Moves has seen her move into an interesting new direction without losing the style that has gained her a steady stream of critical praise over her years in the industry. ![]() They have to”įor anyone familiar with famed indie director Kelly Reichardt’s work you know what you’re in for with Night Moves. The fallout of this act however will test the three people more than they had planned. Plot – Environmentalist Josh (Eisenberg) teams up with kindred souls Dena (Fanning) and ex-army vet Harmon (Sarsgaard) to take down a hydroelectric dam that they see as part of a much bigger problem affecting the natural environment.

With the defeat of Roscoe, the next step is to move to a nearby objective marker, which trips a short cinematic showing the Leviathan regurgitating the remaining combatants onto a wide ledge in its lair. Once Roscoe is dead, Scarlett makes an announcement about discretion being the better part of "running away," and departs the scene with a personal fast travel device but drops her pistol, the Greed. As a large target, Roscoe is also vulnerable to weapons that trade accuracy for power. A barrage of explosive or incendiary damage directed at the head can still slip past the blinkers. ![]() Unlike wild rakk hives, Roscoe wears blinkers that help to protect his eyes, reducing the likelihood of critical hits. The floor is also covered in pools of corrosive sludge which deal damage over time but only when standing in them, leaving the pool will prevent further corrosive damage. Characters caught close behind Roscoe may find themselves drenched in a volatile corrosive green sludge as the rakk hive relieves itself in their direction. Characters in front may be struck by globs of corrosive spit that arc forward to coat small patches of the ground with a lingering corrosion effect. Another is a rearing ground stomp that inflicts damage in a small radius around the beast. The first attack is a flight of rakk that present only a minor nuisance. Roscoe has a number of attacks and might be a tough opponent if unprepared. Scarlett makes an appearance in the Leviathan's stomach, seated astride her rakk hive pet Roscoe, and they attack after Scarlett has completed another diatribe. A quick trip by sandskiff will bring adventurers to the indicated area, at which point the Leviathan bursts from the sand and swallows everyone whole. Both are shielded and much harder to kill than their men.Įxiting Magnys Lighthouse is expedited by a one-way Fast Travel terminal, with the nearest destination to the Treasure of the Sands being the now-deserted Buccaneer's Bacchanal in Wurmwater. Hoffman and White follow these attacks, Hoffman with an assault rifle of his own, and White with a shotgun. Scarlett Corsairs vanish from sight and reappear when they are in striking range for their cutlasses, while their crewman associates hang back and pepper the open ground with assault rifles. ![]() At this point, a band of pirates led by Lieutenant Hoffman and Lieutenant White will make their attack.
