PHILADELPHIA, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Tun Tavern Legacy Foundation, Inc. (Foundation), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, today announced it acquired land to rebuild and reestablish an authentic reproduction of the original Tun Tavern building in Philadelphia. The Tun, constructed in 1693, is the birthplace of Freemasonry in Pennsylvania (1731) and the first documented lodge in North America, and the founding place of the St. Andrew's Society (1747), and the United States Marine Corps (1775). It is also the early first meeting place of the Friendly Sons & Daughters of St. Patrick (established 1771), the Society of St. George (founded in 1772, with earlier meetings at Tun Tavern), and is purportedly the place where John Adams and the Naval Committee met and drafted documents that outline the structure for what became the United States Navy (1775). A groundbreaking ceremony is planned for November 2024 in advance of the Navy and Marine Corps' 250th Homecoming Celebration in 2025.

Key Points: 
  • The Tun™ will be located at 19 S. 2nd Street in Philadelphia's Old City neighborhood, known as "America's most historic square mile."
  • The location is within 250 yards of the original Tun Tavern site at Water Street and Tun Alley on Philadelphia's waterfront, where the Tun stood until 1781.
  • With the land acquisition, we have a strong base to move forward with the fundraising necessary to rebuild the historic Tun Tavern," said Rob Brink, Foundation Board Chair and Deputy Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania Free and Accepted Masons.
  • "The Foundation will operate The Tun™ as a functioning mariner's tavern and restaurant reminiscent of colonial Philadelphia.

Supportive, Stable Caregiving in Childhood Protects Heart Health in Adulthood

New research, however, shows that receiving warmth from a caregiver during childhood protects cardiovascular health later in life, according to a study led by NYU Grossman School of Medicine and The Ohio State University Wexler Medical Center.

Key Points: 
  • New research, however, shows that receiving warmth from a caregiver during childhood protects cardiovascular health later in life, according to a study led by NYU Grossman School of Medicine and The Ohio State University Wexler Medical Center.
  • "At the same time, our findings show that adversity in early childhood does not equal destiny.
  • While adverse childhood family environments were associated with lower odds of cardiovascular health in adulthood, our findings suggest that supportive and, importantly, stable caregiving may have a stronger influence on later heart health than early adversity."
  • The hope, says Ortiz, is that this study offers insight into how supporting healthy, both supportive and stable, caregiving relationships in childhood can offer greater attainment of CVH at a population level.

Remembered by our pets: More animals are getting a mention in obituaries

From service dogs and emotional support animals to the pet waiting to greet us at the front door, animals can bring joy, comfort and companionship to our lives.

Key Points: 
  • From service dogs and emotional support animals to the pet waiting to greet us at the front door, animals can bring joy, comfort and companionship to our lives.
  • As that story highlighted, and as many others will note, burying, embalming or cremating animals is hardly a new practice.
  • As it turns out, animals are more frequently getting mentioned in the obituaries of their human companions.

How obituaries are changing

  • More importantly though, obituaries give the bereaved a chance to tell a story about someone they loved.
  • As recently as 1990, not a single one of the 53 obituaries published on a given Saturday in the Toronto Star mentioned any pets.
  • In a sample from 1980 to 2022 containing 3,241 obituaries, only 79 mention animals.
  • However, this minor uptick points to a transformation in how people compose obituaries.

Telling personal stories

  • The old standard was short notices stating the deceased’s name, age and where they died — all in the space of about four lines.
  • In recent years, the mean length has grown to around 40 lines, with some reaching over 100 lines.
  • Recent obituaries are also more likely to mention the deceased’s education, occupation or hobbies.

Our furry friends

  • It has become more common to mention someone’s pet, or love of animals.
  • Beyond the pet’s name, we learn whether they were a “hoity-toity poodle,” a “loyal companion” or “the best dog ever.” Occupation is another staple of obituaries.
  • Unsurprisingly, groups like the Humane Society, the Farley Foundation and various nature conservancy groups are growing in popularity.

The new ways we grieve

  • Namely, people are placing greater value on nature and non-human animals.
  • But the evidence — in obituaries and beyond — suggests people are finding meaningful connection through the natural world and with other-than-human creatures.
  • To commemorate the lasting memory of someone they loved, families want to share with the world what made that person special.
