Retired Sgt. John Peck, who lost all four limbs as the result of an explosion of a homemade bomb in Afghanistan in May 2010, underwent 14 hours of surgery at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in August. The procedure involved 60 doctors, nurses and other medical personnel. His arms are scarred and move awkwardly, but every day with the new limbs is better, he said at a news conference at the hospital. He is learning to dress himself, brush his teeth and feed himself all over again. The irst time he held iancée Jessica Paker’s hand after the surgery, he couldn’t even feel it, but it still meant the world. “That truly is a special gift,” he said, adding later that he can now feel pres- sure when she squeezes.

Peck, originally from Antioch, Illinois, now lives in Fredericksburg, Virginia. He said he’s wanted to be a chef since he was 12. “As a result of surgery, I’ll be able to pursue my dreams,” he said. He’s already started cooking but because he doesn’t have full feeling in the new limbs, he has to be careful he doesn’t cut or burn himself. He plans to visit France and Italy to hone his craft, he said. Peck also thanked the donor, whose family wishes to remain anonymous. “I will remember his sellessness and gift until the day I die,” he said. According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, hand and arm transplants have been performed on more than 85 people around the world.

Paris climate agreement to take effect Nov. 4 UNITED NATIONS (AP) — A landmark agree- ment on climate change will enter into force on Nov. 4, backed by a coalition of the world’s largest polluters and small island nations threat- ened by rising seas. U.N. Spokesman Farhan Haq said the EU, Canada and Nepal are all expected to deposit their instruments of ratiication over the course of the day Wednesday, edging the percentage of emissions by ratifying countries past the 55 percent threshold needed for the treaty to take effect. “I am delighted to announce that today the Paris Agreement will cross the second and inal threshold needed for entry into force, and will enter into force on 4 November 2016,” Secretary Ban Ki-moon said in a statement issued from Europe. The deal takes effect 30 days after 55 countries, accounting for at least 55 percent of global emissions, have adopted it. Sixty-two countries had done so as of Tuesday but they accounted only for about 52 percent of emissions. With the addition of Nepal, Canada and the seven EU countries that have so far ratiied the deal, the countries now account for an estimated 58.7 percent of emissions. A U.N. website said currently 72 of the 197 parties to the treaty, accounting for 56.75 of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, have oficially ratiied. It wasn’t clear if all the parties that had planned to deposit their ratiications Wednesday, which may account for the discrepancy. “It’s clearly a momentous moment in terms of global action on climate change,” said David Waskow, inter- national climate director at World Resources Institute. “This has been much more rapid than anticipated and demonstrates political support for the agreement.” The Paris agreement commits rich and poor countries to take action to curb the rise in global temperatures that is melting glaciers, raising sea levels and shifting rainfall patterns. It requires governments to present national plans to reduce emissions to limit global temperature rise to well below 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit. While the targets in the agreement are not legally binding, the treaty does require countries to report on emissions and their progress on reaching the goals in the national climate plans they submitted to the U.N. The countries are also required to maintain those plans, update them every ive years and pursue measures to implement their stated goals.
