Underweight dolphin rescued by local authorities in Jersey City, but later dies

Falyn Stempler - July 17, 2019

The dolphin appeared to be in distress when it was initially spotted by a woman walking her dog near the Colgate Clock. The effort to save the dolphin began when an animal control officer from Liberty Humane Society responded to the Morris Canal shoreline at around 3:45 p.m. and, with the help of Jersey City Police Department Emergency Service Unit officers, held the animal upright with a bed sheet and towel to make sure the animal could breathe properly and keep it from crashing against the rocky shoreline, Irene Borngraeber, executive director of Liberty Humane Society, said.

The Marine Mammal Stranding Center in Brigantine was notified of the animal’s condition and staff from the facility made their way to Jersey City by 7:10 p.m. to assist in the rescue, Jersey City spokeswoman Kimberly Wallace-Scalcione said.

Members of the Jersey City Police Department and Liberty State Park police helped in removing the dolphin from the water and loading into a tank for its trip to the MMSC, Borngraeber said.

“I was worried the dolphin would roll over in the waves and wouldn’t be able to breathe,” said Mike Smith, the animal control officer who initially responded. “So I made sure to keep him up and the area around his blowhole clear. I’ve never been that close to a dolphin before. It was amazing to be able to help him.”

Bob Schoelkopf, director of the Marine Mammal Stranding Center, said the animal was young and underweight, and despite their best efforts, it died at the facility in South Jersey. A necropsy is currently underway to determine the cause of death, he added.

Whale and dolphin sightings in the waters surrounding New York City are rare, but not unprecedented.

In July 2016, a dead whale surfaced in the Hudson River just off Caven Point. In November that year, two whales were spotted in the Hudson River — one near the George Washington Bridge, and another near the Statue of Liberty.

Borngraeber urges anyone who spots a marine animal that is beached or possibly injured to notify Liberty Humane Society.

JCPD Emergency Service Unit officers Casey McKenna, Ameer Alateek and Eric Tavarez, all of whom aided in the rescue, held a press conference at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday at Colgate Clock where the rescue occurred.

McKenna said this unique case was challenging because the rocky shores were slippery which made it more difficult to hold the approximately 100 lb. animal during the over two hour rescue. Despite the adversities, he said he and his fellow officers kept calm in hopes of soothing the distressed animal. He also noted that the animal seemed small to him.

Tavarez said this was the first time he received a call about a dolphin in the 13 years since he has worked at JCPD.

“How many cops can say they helped a dolphin,” he said.

In the past, he and the other officers noted cases with mammals including seals, whales and turtles and land animals such as cats, but never dolphins.

Scientists 'teleport' a quantum gate

Yale University researchers have demonstrated one of the key steps in building the architecture for modular quantum computers: the "teleportation" of a quantum gate between two qubits, on demand.

The findings appear online Sept. 5 in the journal Nature.

The key principle behind this new work is quantum teleportation, a unique feature of quantum mechanics that has previously been used to transmit unknown quantum states between two parties without physically sending the state itself. Using a theoretical protocol developed in the 1990s, Yale researchers experimentally demonstrated a quantum operation, or "gate," without relying on any direct interaction. Such gates are necessary for quantum computation that relies on networks of separate quantum systems -- an architecture that many researchers say can offset the errors that are inherent in quantum computing processors.

Through the Yale Quantum Institute, a Yale research team led by principal investigator Robert Schoelkopf and former graduate student Kevin Chou is investigating a modular approach to quantum computing. Modularity, which is found in everything from the organization of a biological cell to the network of engines in the latest SpaceX rocket, has proved to be a powerful strategy for building large, complex systems, the researchers say. A quantum modular architecture consists of a collection of modules that function as small quantum processors connected into a larger network.

Modules in this architecture have a natural isolation from each other, which reduces unwanted interactions through the larger system. Yet this isolation also makes performing operations between modules a distinct challenge, according to the researchers. Teleported gates are a way to implement inter-module operations.

"Our work is the first time that this protocol has been demonstrated where the classical communication occurs in real-time, allowing us to implement a 'deterministic' operation that performs the desired operation every time," Chou said.

Fully useful quantum computers have the potential to reach computation speeds that are orders of magnitude faster than today's supercomputers. Yale researchers are at the forefront of efforts to develop the first fully useful quantum computers and have done pioneering work in quantum computing with superconducting circuits.

Quantum calculations are done via delicate bits of data called qubits, which are prone to errors. In experimental quantum systems, "logical" qubits are monitored by "ancillary" qubits in order to detect and correct errors immediately. "Our experiment is also the first demonstration of a two-qubit operation between logical qubits," Schoelkopf said. "It is a milestone toward quantum information processing using error-correctable qubits."

Macy*s Thanksgiving Parade Returns, With All The Trimmings

— Thursday November 25, 2021 | By Ted Shaffrey and Jennifer Peltz | Associated Press

NEW YORK (AP) — Giant balloons once again wafted through miles of Manhattan, wrangled by costumed handlers. High school and college marching bands from around the country were back, and so were the crowds at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.

After being crimped by the coronavirus pandemic last year, the holiday tradition returned in full Thursday, though with precautions.

“It really made Thanksgiving feel very festive and full of life,” Sierra Guardiola, a 23-year-old interior design firm assistant, said after watching the spectacle in a turkey-shaped hat.

Thousands of marchers, hundreds of clowns, dozens of balloons and floats — and, of course, Santa Claus — marked the latest U.S. holiday event to make a comeback as vaccines, familiarity and sheer frustration made officials and some of the public more comfortable with big gatherings amid the ongoing pandemic.

To President Joe Biden, the parade’s full-fledged return was a sign of renewal, and he called NBC broadcaster Al Roker on-air to say so.

“After two years, we’re back. America is back. There’s nothing we’re unable to overcome,” Biden said over the phone from Nantucket, Massachusetts, where he was watching the broadcast with his family.

Still, safety measures continued. Parade staffers and volunteers had to be vaccinated against COVID-19 and wear masks, though some singers and performers were allowed to shed them. There was no inoculation requirement for spectators, but Macy’s and the city encouraged them to cover their faces.

Asahi Pompey said she made a point of getting her vaccine booster shot Wednesday and wore a mask while in the crowd, but COVID-19 concerns couldn’t keep her away.

“It feels really phenomenal to be here. It feels like New York is on its way to recovery,” said Pompey, 49, a lawyer.

“It’s like the whole spirit of New York has come and gathered so we can be together,” added her school-age son, Sebastian Pompey-Schoelkopf.

Last Thanksgiving, with no vaccines available and the virus beginning a winter surge in the nation’s biggest city, the parade was confined to one block and sometimes pre-taped. Most performers were locally based, to cut down on travel, and the giant balloons were tethered to vehicles instead of being handled by volunteers. No spectators were allowed.

Getting to watch the nearly century-old parade this year on the street, instead of a screen, was “incredible” for Katie Koth. The 26-year-old teacher was at the event for the first time.

“The energy is crazy, and the crowd was amazing,” she said.

The event came days after an SUV driver plowed through a Christmas parade in suburban Milwaukee, killing six people and injuring over 60. Authorities said the driver, who has been charged with intentional homicide, was speeding away from police after a domestic dispute.

Mayor Bill de Blasio said Wednesday there was no credible, specific threat to the Thanksgiving parade, but security was extensive, as usual. It involved thousands of police officers, as well as sand-filled garbage trucks and concrete barriers blocking cars from the parade route, bomb-detecting dogs, heavy-weapons teams, radiation and chemical sensors and over 300 extra cameras.

Inside the barricades, new balloon giants joined the lineup, including the title character from the Netflix series “Ada Twist, Scientist”; the Pokémon characters Pikachu and Eevee on a sled (Pikachu has appeared before, in different form), and Grogu, aka “Baby Yoda,” from the television show “The Mandalorian.” New floats came from entities ranging from condiment maker Heinz to NBCUniversal’s Peacock streaming service to the Louisiana Office of Tourism.

Entertainers and celebrities included Carrie Underwood, Jon Batiste, Nelly, Kelly Rowland, Miss America Camille Schrier, the band Foreigner, and many others. Several Broadway musical casts and the Radio City Rockettes also performed.

Sloan Brown, 6, took it all in from a sidewalk and summed up the experience in a word: “Cool.”

Quote

Schoelkopf recalls finding a plastic balloon that drifted onto [Brigantine] island and was inscribed with the name and phone number of a bar — in Indiana. So Schoelkopf called. “The owner said he had released balloons for the grand opening of the bar,” Schoelkopf recalls. “He was embarrassed. Turns out, he was the chairman of the environmental committee in his town.”
