With crampons on foot and ice axe in hand, get intimate with the ancient ice formations of Europe's largest glacier!
Mon 28.Sep'20 09:20
After exploring Iceland's glaciers for over a decade with visitors from around the world we quickly found that it´s just not the same to look at an ice fall cascading down from a 2000m high caldera from a distance. You need to be in it to fully appreciate the force and size. We created the Explorer trip to give our guests this experience.
Our world-renowned "Glacier Explorer" in-depth glacier adventure takes you to Falljökull, one of the most impressive outlet glaciers of the Vatnajökull ice cap. We will take an inspiring walk along a winding path through the dramatically changing landscape carved out by the glacier. Arriving at the tongue of the glacier, we will gear up on crampons. With your guide leading the way, you will soon be exploring an impressive terrain, walking through a wonderland of ice formations and brilliant blue colors.
You will enjoy vast, sweeping panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and the amazing crevasse system. Depending on the glacier conditions we will enter the rugged and chaotic icefall where it tumbles over the side of the underlying mountain and down towards the ocean. Imagine that, standing in an actual icefall, up close and personal with the ancient ice.
This trip will provide you with plenty of photo opportunities and the chance to gain a deep understanding of this magnificent glacier, how it is formed and how it continues to change shape every day.
What's included?
Guiding, all necessary glacier gear, and transportation to/from Skaftafell
What do I need to bring?
– Waterproof jacket and pants (We do have rental clothing available)
– Hiking boots (Available for rent, 1000 isk. We advise against runners or any type of shoe that comes up below the ankle bone as the straps on the crampons can get a bit painful during the walk)(Climbing boots are included on the ice climbing tour)
-Light sweater, wool or fleece
– Light synthetic or quick dry pants (Try and stay clear of jeans on the longer trips as they get wet & cold quick and dry slow)
– Thin Gloves
– Hat
– Small Backpack (Can be handy to carry camera, rain gear and all extras)
– Sunglasses and sun protection (It can get quite bright on the ice with the reflection)
– Food and drinks (Lunch is not provided on any of our trips. June – September there is plenty of fresh water on the glacier so bring a bottle)
– Camera (If you forget everything else don´t forget that)
Our Glacier Explorer (5.5 hours) trip spends approximately 3 hours on the ice, exploring the magnificent ice-fall where it falls down from the Öræfajökull caldera.
Duration: 5.5 hours
Minimum age of passengers is: 15
Meeting point: Skaftafell booking center (gray house with the turf roof), 30 minutes before tour starts.
Skaftafell is located 327km (203 miles) from Reykjavík. The nearest towns to Skaftafell are Kirkjubæjarklaustur, 69km to the west and Höfn, 130km to the east.

BeantownBillyGlaciers impressive
Glacier wonders experience was a really nice tour. We did think it was a bit expensive. It would've been enhanced has the weather been nicer. We did get to walk up on the glacier and see many interesting facets & features of the glacier but we were limited in how much we could see given the duration of the tour.
Raquel AAMAZING!!
The 3rd of April, my boyfriend and me took the "Into the Glacier" tour with Artic Adventures.
The best part of our trip to Iceland!
Unfourtunately I don't remember the name of our guide, he is spanish. We really enjoyed our journey. From the truck trip, to the moment of tasting the purest and cleanest water, direct from the glacier to our mouths. Walking on a glacier, under the sun was incredible. Bus stepping inside and ice cave… that was a must!
Thanks again, we'll be back!!
ifthenAmazing Glacier Tour
We took the Glacier Explorer tour and had an amazing time! The glacier had been unexplored for several days and our tour team had spent the entire day before preparing the tour and ensuring that we would travel safely. Dan was our tour guide and he was just as excited as the rest of the tour group to travel up the glacier and explore new routes while explaining to us in detail the history of the glacier and the geology of Iceland. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone coming to Iceland that wants to see nature up close!

There is good news for music lovers. Research has shown that music can be a powerful pain reliever. Specifically, studies point to the fact that listening to music can have a significant positive effect on a person's perception of their chronic pain.
A study published in the U.K-based Journal of Advanced Nursing found that music can reduce chronic pain by up to 21 percent. It can also make sufferers feel more in control of their condition and less disabled by their pain.
So, what is the connection between music and pain relief? Many of the brain pathways that process pain also process music, according to Prevention magazine. As a result, focusing on the music you hear engages and triggers emotional responses that compete with pain pathways, leaving with less resources to process the pain.
One study divided a group of 60 clinical trial participants into two music groups and one control group. Results showed that the groups who listened to music an hour per day over the course of a week showed improved physical and psychological symptoms compared to the control group.
In short, listening to music is a not a cure for chronic pain, but it can be a welcome source of temporary relief. Consider adding it to your arsenal of pain management techniques like deep breathing and meditation.

Hello. I have taught K-12 Art for LPS since 1998 and have been fortunate to be able to teach art here at Riley since 2017.
I believe all students can be creative and all students can create individual art projects within the art room independently. Students will explore age appropiate art mediums, genres, cultures and styles of art while exercising the traditional elements and principles of design. I believe all students can be successful within the art room by keeping an open mind, perservering through challenges, asking for help when needed, through practice, as well as, exhibiting patience within each process taught.

With the prevalence of autism, a simulated flight event at Trudeau Airport will help these and other kids with special needs. It's called Enfants en Première, and it's free! But, only for one day.
In simulating a trip, the children, accompanied by an adult (parents or friends) will learn the different travel-related processes from the moment they arrive at the airport until they board a plane.
The entire simulation lasts about 3 hours.

Visual outcome after pituitary adenoma surgery
Correspondence Address: Source of Support: None, Conflict of Interest: None DOI: 10.4103/0028-3886.193770
Source of Support: None, Conflict of Interest: None
Pituitary adenomas are relatively common brain tumors with an estimated prevalence of 16.7%.[1] Treatment modalities are evolving with new technologies in surgery, such as fully endoscopic approaches, and increasing use of pharmacotherapy as most commonly used in prolactiomas. Vision loss has been one of the signature neurologic deficits caused by these lesions, and there have been many studies investigating the factors that that play a role in improving visual outcome after surgical decompression. Preoperative vision, the age and size of the patient, as well as the configuration of the tumor have been positively correlated to visual outcome in earlier studies.[2]
Dutta et al., in this new study, examine the visual outcome after resection of pituitary adenomas in patients having preoperative visual defects.[3] The study includes a large cohort and the authors were able to track visual outcome, visual acuity (VA), and visual fields (VFs) separately at three different time points including at discharge, at 3 months, and at 12 months. Data collection was done first retrospectively (2003–2010) and then prospectively (2011–2014) in the latter part of the study. The prospective data were available for 29.6% of the patients, and the retrospective data were obtained for 70.4% of the patients. They found that bitemporal hemianopia was the most common type of field defect (47.6%), and suprasellar extension of the tumor was present in 89.2% of the patients. A large majority of the operations were transsphenoidal (96.9%). In the initial years, a sublabial rhinoseptal approach was used, which was followed by a transnasal transseptal approach, and most recently, a direct endonasal approach.
The authors found that postoperative visual outcome was directly proportional to the preoperative VA, and that patients with better preoperative VA had better visual outcome. Eighty-two percent of the patients with less severe visual deficits had improvement in visual status, whereas only 10% of the patients with no perception of light improved.
They also noted that patients had earlier recovery of vision if the duration of symptoms was shorter. However, the ultimate outcome was good at the end of 1 year irrespective of the duration of symptoms.[3]
One of the strengths of this study is that the authors have collected VF and VA data separately. Macroadenomas typically start compressing the crossing fibers of the chiasm first, creating the typical bitemporal hemianopsia. VA changes are caused by compression of the macular fibers at a later stage of the disease.[2],[4]
Dutta et al., present their findings from this semi-prospective study of their large cohort, which makes it very valuable. It is important to note that these results are from a microscopic transsphenoidal approach, which is known to have worse visual outcomes compared with the endoscopic approach.[5]
Their finding that 93.2% of the patients had better vision at 1 year is similar to the previously reported outcomes.[6],[7] Surprisingly, the impact of advanced age as a predictor of worse visual outcome was not reproduced in this study.
During the last two decades, neurosurgical approach to pituitary tumors evolved from the microscopic approach to the endoscope assisted, and lastly to pure endonasal endocopic approaches. In the context of pituitary tumors, it has revolutionized the extent and quality of the visualization and increased the limits of surgical access to the sella and suprasellar area. The perceived limitations of the endoscopic approach such as the existence of a learning curve, and the two-dimensional vision of the endoscope can be easily overcome by working in a multidisciplinary team.[8] The endoscopic approach has been shown to be having a significantly higher gross total resection rate when compared with microscopy, particularly for pituitary tumors with cavernous sinus invasion,[9] and fewer recurrences as well as better visual outcomes.[5]
The authors rightfully emphasize the fact that early intervention on pituitary adenomas with visual deficits will not only improve visual outcome but also decrease the time to be needed to achieve improvement. The take home message here is that we as surgeons should encourage our patients to undergo surgery as soon as there is any evidence of visual loss. Observation in this situation can be harmful.

The Sunnah of Childbirth
السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ
Dear Sister,
Inshaa'Allah you are in the best of health and emaan. This letter has been written to help us gain an understanding of what sisterhood in Islam really means. We as sisters, care deeply about each other, because we share something that is more special than the whole world and all that it contains; we share the belief in the Oneness of Allah the Most High
, and the religion that He has given to us. This is a gift that transcends any differences we may have in regard to race, colour, nationality, culture or language. Being a sister in Islam is one of the many blessings that comes from acceptance of the true path of
Allah the Most High
. It is also a responsibility that we each have as members of this Ummah. To fulfill our obligation, we first need to understand what is required of us.
This is what the bond of sisterhood should mean to all of us, based upon the wisdom of Allah and his Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)...
Allah the Most High
"The believers, men and women. are Auliya (helpers, supporters, friends, protectors) of one another, they enjoin (on people) Al-Ma'ruf, and forbids (people) from Al-Munkar; they offer their prayers perfectly; and give the Zakat and obey Allah and His Messenger. Allah will have His mercy upon them. Surely, Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise." (At-Tauba 9:71)
"...And lower your wing for the believers (be courteous to the fellow-believers)." (Al-Hijr 15:88)
The Messenger of Allah (p
eace and blessings be upon him)
"None of you has Iman (faith) until they desire for their brother or sister that which they desire for themself." (Bukhari and Muslim)
"The Muslims in their mutual love, kindness and compassion are like the human body where when one of its parts is in agony the entire body feels the pain, both in sleeplessness and fever." (Bukhari and Muslim)
"On the Day of Judgement, Allah, the Most High, will announce, 'Where are those who love each other for the sake of My pleasure? This day I am going to shelter them in the shade provided by Me. Today there is no shade except My shade." (Muslim)
"If a person loves his brother or sister, they should inform him or her of this fact." (Abu Dawud and Tirmidthi)
"Do not be envious of other Muslims; do not overbid at auctions against another Muslim; do not have malice against a Muslim; do not go against a Muslim and forsake him; do not make an offering during a pending transaction. O' servants of Allah, be like brothers and sisters with each other. A Muslim is the brother or sister of another Muslim; do not hurt them, or look down upon them or bring shame on them. Piety is a matter of heart (The Prophet, Sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, repeated this thrice). It is enough evil for a person to look down upon his Muslim brother or sister. The blood, property and honour of a Muslim is inviolable to a Muslim." (Muslim)
"A person is likely to follow the faith of his friend, so look whom you befriend." (Abu Dawud and Tirmidi)
"One who helps a fellow Muslim in removing his or her difficulty in this world, Allah will remove the former's distress on the Day of Judgement. He who helps to remove the hardship of another, will have his difficulties removed by Allah in this world and in the Hereafter. One who covers the shortcomings of another Muslim, will have his faults covered up in this world and the next by Allah. Allah continues to help a servant so long as he goes on helping his own brother or sister." (Muslim)
"A Muslim owes six obligations towards another Muslim: when you meet them, salute them saying 'Assalaamu Alaykum; when they invite you, accept their invitation; when they solicit your advice, advise them sincerely; when they sneeze and praise Allah, respond with the supplication Yarhamuk Allah (Allah have mercy on you); when they fall sick, visit them; on their death, attend their funeral." (Muslim)
"When a Muslim visits their Muslim brother or sister who is sick, they certainly gather the fruits of Paradise until they return from visiting." (Muslim)
"Help your brother or sister when they commit a wrong and when a wrong is committed against them, someone asked, "O Messenger of Allah, I understand how I can help them if a wrong is committed against them, but how can I help them if they are committing a wrong?" At that the Prophet (SAW) answered, "Stopping them from committing the wrong is helping them." (Bukhari)
So you see, as sisters we must strive to love one another for the sake of Allah...
Be merciful and compassionate toward one another...
Keep company with one another...
Assist and support one another when necessary and cover each others shortcomings...
Encourage each other to the right...
And fulfill our minimum duties toward one another and beyond...
This will not only enhance our bonds of sisterhood, but will also strengthen the fibers of this Ummah, as we acquire and utilise the wisdom of Islam, Insha'Allah. Our ultimate goal is to gain the pleasure of Allah the Most High, as well as His Mercy and Blessings. May we all find the true peace that comes with being a Muslim and attaining the highest of rewards: Paradise.
With true love,
Your Sisters in Islam

The 'Mistresses' Look Sweet, But It's All a Ruse
Television doesn't get anymore juicier or soapier than this. Last year's hit summer show Mistresses is back on ABC and pulling out all the stops to top Season 1 in drama. For those of you who missed it last summer, the show is based on a British series of the same name and follows four friends at different points in their lives both professionally and romantically. But since the show is called Mistresses, we all know it's mostly about their romantic conquests.
There's Savi, played by Alyssa Milano: She's the married lawyer who, while trying unsuccessfully to get pregnant with her husband, has an affair with a co-worker and — you guessed it — gets pregnant. Her younger sister is Joss, a free-spirited woman working in real estate and sleeping with her boss. Their two friends are Karen, a therapist who slept with a former patient and helped him kill himself which leads to an investigation into his death by his family, and April, a widowed mother of one adorable girl who finds out her husband is still alive and whose mistress is trying to blackmail her for money. And that's just in the first few episodes. Intrigued enough yet? But what can we expect from Monday's Season 2 premiere? Well let's look back at where we left these ladies last year:
Savi's Pregnancy Drama
After discovering her pregnancy, Savi tells her husband Harry that she had an affair with Dominic, her co-worker. Harry moves out of the house but Savi is determined to make the marriage work and tells Dom that even if the baby is his, she will stay with Harry. But that proves to be a difficult decision to stick to as Savi grows closer and closer to Dom now that Harry has moved out of the house. And things get even more complicated when Harry decides he wants Savi back no matter who the father is. At the end of Season 1, Joss takes Savi to Palm Springs for her birthday and Savi decides that whomever is the father of her baby, that's who she will choose. But on the way back to her house to get the paternity results, Savi gets in a car accident. Initially Savi and the baby survive but later goes unconscious and starts coding.
Joss' Trials and Tribulations
Joss' company gets bought out by a Frenchman named Olivier who is a real jerk to everyone, especially the always popular Joss. While showing a nice lesbian couple a few houses, Joss makes friends with one half of the couple, Alex. Joss convinces Alex that her girlfriend does not treat her well and that she needs to break up with her. Joss and Alex grow closer as friends and then one day start to become lovers and girlfriends. At first, things seem great but Joss begins to feel restless and has an affair with Olivier who warms to her throughout the season. Joss and Alex break up later and Joss goes to be with her sister.
Karen's Drama Explosion
Yunjim Kim, AKA Sun from Lost, goes through arguably the most drama in Season 1 of Mistresses. Her character Karen, helps her lover and patient commit suicide and then is a main witness and suspect in the subsequent investigation into his death. Then her former lover's son falls in love with her and the two of them have sex, creepily enough. Finally, her former lover's wife finds out her husband was having an affair with Karen and is hellbent on making Karen pay by trying to ruin Karen's career with the ethics investigation. After Karen's case is finally thrown out of court, the former lover's wife returns with a vengeance and a gun but her son — and Karen's new lover — steps in before the gun goes off. We still don't know who, if anyone, has been shot.
April's Tearful First Season
April has tried so hard to live without her husband for five years since his "death" and has succeeded for the most part. But as she slowly starts to find happiness in the form of a new boyfriend, Richard, her husband's mistress shows up demanding money from April. Then immediately after that, April finds out her husband is actually alive. After sending the mistress away, Paul decides to stay nearby to see his daughter and try to win April back. April decides it might be best to try and work things out with her husband, so she breaks up with Richard. However, after getting a phone call from Paul's old mistress begging Paul to call his son— that's right, the man faked his own death and started another family— April decides to break up with Paul as well. Thank goodness.

Police chase hits 100mph; police seeking driver
By Dave Taylor
Police on both sides of the Ohio River are actively looking for a man who led authorities on a high-speed chase that began Wednesday afternoon in Tell City, Ind. and ended when the suspect lost police after hitting 100 mph on rural roads in the southern part of Hancock County and hiding his truck in the woods.
The chase began at around 4:30 p.m. in Tell City after TCPD detective Bryce Hammack and K9 officer Sgt. Jason Shadwick attempted to stop Roger Dale Burnett for outstanding felony warrants.

The Ford Ranger is a brand-new mid-sized pickup truck that's ready for rough roads ahead. It's engineered with toughness and durability in mind. Every model at Winslow Ford includes a high-quality suspension system that can dominate any terrain.
On the front wheels, you'll find an independent A-arm suspension system. It also has monotube shock absorbers. They can help to dissipate heat. The absorbers are pressurized with nitrogen gas. The design provides consistent performance over difficult terrain. Overall, the front suspension system makes the truck more agile, thus providing you with more control in a wide range of driving environments.
Winslow drivers will appreciate the rear leaf springs on the back wheels. The parabolic springs give the truck more flexibility as you drive. The reduced stiffness can help you maintain control while avoiding any jarring movements as you go over dips or rocks. The rear wheels also have shock absorbers that are mounted outside of the frame rails for better cornering.

Zika Outbreak Highlights Vulnerabilities Of The Public Health System
With diminished public health funding following budget cuts, state and local officials across the country say they've been lucky to have been able to handle outbreaks such as Zika at all. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama has officially asked Congress for $1.9 billion in emergency spending to combat the virus.
Zika Virus Exposes Weaknesses In Public Health
State health officials were heartened when President Barack Obama this month asked Congress for $1.8 billion to combat the spread of the Zika virus because they fear they don't have the resources to fight the potentially debilitating disease on their own. Budget cuts have left state and local health departments seriously understaffed and, officials say, in a precariously dangerous situation if the country has to face outbreaks of two or more infectious diseases — such as Zika, new strains of flu, or the West Nile and Ebola viruses — at the same time. (Ollove, 2/22)
Obama Urges Congress To Act Quickly To Approve Zika Funding
President Obama on Monday formally requested $1.9 billion in emergency funding for the US response to the Zika virus outbreak and urged Congress to take action "expeditiously." (Scott, 2/22)

Ford driver Scott McLaughlin's domination at Phillip Island has quashed claims that the ZB Commodore has an advantage, says Red Bull HRT manager Mark Dutton.
The ZB-model Holden's debut in Adelaide was met by grumbling from rivals that a widespread use of composite parts had given it a leg-up.
Ford and Nissan teams subsequently homologated lighter, composite panels for their own cars ahead of the second event, held at Albert Park.
Despite this, the new Holdens kept on winning, taking out seven of the first eight races, spread between three different teams.
Although some expected the high-speed nature of Phillip Island to provide more ZB victories, McLaughlin was dominant – taking two poles and two races wins.
McLaughlin was a full 0.5466 seconds clear of the nearest Holden – Jamie Whincup – in Saturday qualifying, and 0.4014s up on second-placed David Reynolds on Sunday.
While Dutton admitted his team struggled to fine-tune its cars at the Island, he said the results should also put the parity debate to rest.
All three manufacturers shared the podium in both races, with Nissan Motorsport returning to form through Rick Kelly, second on Saturday and third on Sunday.
"We knew the whole time that it [the ZB] didn't have an advantage. All the bodywork and all that, it was all smoke and mirrors, it was all rubbish," Dutton said.
"But other teams, that's their job to play on things and ride a bit of hype to get some things through for their cars. The Fords and Nissans played that game really well.
"Because we had the data on the old car and the new car, we knew there was no advantage, there were no parity issues, and this weekend reiterated that to everyone.
"The time difference from McLaughlin to these cars, you can't say 'I missed it by that much'. We've got some homework to do."
Parity was brought up during an at times light-hearted press conference on Sunday involving McLaughlin, Reynolds and Kelly.
McLaughlin had noted Whincup's impressive top-end speed on the main straight on Saturday, after the Ford had been unable to keep up, even in the slipstream.
Supercars' homologation testing, undertaken for the ZB last December, seeks to balance the cars for overall downforce and drag.
They can, however, be fine-tuned through set-up changes, with teams able to trade-off downforce and drag through a prescribed number of rear-wing settings.
Asked by Supercars.com whether he'd ever doubted the Falcon was up to the job this year against the ZB, McLaughlin chose his words carefully.
This season marks the fourth and last for the FG X, before the Mustang is introduced for 2019.
"There's obviously been tracks where it's very strong and where it's not," McLaughlin said of the Commodore.
"We knew that we were very strong this weekend, we knew we had to capitalise.
"There were still areas of the track where it was obvious on TV that the ZB is faster."
Reynolds mused in Sunday's press conference that the parity debate "is the same old story in motorsport.
"Everyone in front of me cheats and everyone behind me can't drive for shit."
While the comments drew laughs and banter between the drivers, Reynolds later told Supercars.com that his witty one-liner had a serious edge.
"No-one can admit that some people are just doing a better job," he said.
"Like I said up there, everyone in front of me cheats, that's just the easy box to tick; they're cheating, must be.
"It's just motorsport, it's how it is. It's been like that my whole life, our whole life. No-one can just admit, 'yeah, they're doing a good job'."

How Warm Winters Make Plants Think It's Spring (and Why It Matters)
On Christmas Day, the daffodils in my mother's front garden were poking their green heads from the soil. This would be one thing if my parents didn't live in Connecticut—but they live in Connecticut, where there should have been a whole "White Christmas" thing happening. Instead, the ground was soft and wet, and the air felt and smelled a lot more like late March than December.
It's possible that El Niño is responsible for this—or climate change is, or maybe it's simply a "warm winter." But it's clear (to farmers and to laypeople like me) that this winter has been a lot warmer, a lot stranger in general than usual on the East Coast. New York City's first snow of the season came January 17; the day prior had been unseasonably warm, temperatures climbing to the low 50s.
"When I think about a changing climate," Jack Algiere, the farm director at Stone Barns told me, "it's not that this place is getting warmer—but we're getting harsher, stranger storms at moments in the year when we don't usually have harsh conditions."
The fear for some farmers is not that it's getting warmer here overall, but rather that the weather patterns are changing entirely. Farmers can plan for steady weather; they can even plan for steadily surprising weather. ("I grew up in New England, so I'm used to strange winters," Jack said—and besides, farmers are careful to plant seeds that are adapted to the specific region.) It's when a stretch of surprisingly warm weather comes in December, or it's cold and icy in April, that the farmers begin to get nervous. "I think this year in particular was warm, and is something of a sign of our future—and a sign of the things that are changing in our climate."
In the past few years, there have been more storms—both more unexpected and unexpectedly harsh. Last year, snow blanketed the Northeast well into March, and then the spring was long and slow. Ultimately, this was a good thing for a lot of crops: A long, late spring meant that trees were in blossom for a longer amount of time and therefore bore more fruit. But the amount of snow, and the severity of it, was surprising. And this year, shortly after Christmas, "It got super-cold really fast. That's a shock to the plants' systems, and some took a real hit," said Jack.
When I asked one farmer at the Union Square Greenmarket if the warm weather was affecting his season, he told me abruptly, "Yeah. We have more stuff." Warmer weather has meant that farmers can keep crops like kale and brussels sprouts in the ground, keep harvesting, keep bringing things to market—and that's a good thing, financially, for these farmers, for whom the summer is a boon and winter is slightly scrappier. In winter, produce farmers rely on selling through the produce they keep in cold storage (like apples, potatoes, cabbages, and beets) or other resources, like eggs, meat, or dairy products that rely less strictly on the seasons.
If it were a "typical" winter—one with average temperature and weather patterns, farms honestly wouldn't look that different to the eye (save, maybe, for a blanket of snow). "We plan for winter growing," Jack, who's been farming for 20 years and started the farm at Stone Barns in 2003, told me. "We still have about a half-dozen crops in the field," he said—spinach, broccoli, cabbage, artichokes, kale, brussels sprouts. "We'd be doing that even if it were really cold, though the snow would slow us down. The warm weather, in a way, makes it easier to do that."
But it also makes it easier for other things besides desirable crops to grow, like pathogens, weeds, and mildew. Jack and his team have had to be especially watchful for mildew, which can destroy plants, growing in the greenhouses. "It's so warm in there," he said. "The plants [in the greenhouses] are all adapted for cold weather, but we had 75-degree weather in the last week of December. The fact that there's low [winter] light helps, but the warm temperatures trick the plants. They don't have enough light or energy to do the work" of growing fully.
"Today it feels like winter... The ground is hard. We may still get a dormant period, which is really important," said Jack. Most plants need a certain dormancy period in order to grow and produce properly; this dormancy looks different for many plants, but in the Northeast, they tend to need a stretch of increased darkness and for the ground to be cold—or even to have a layer of snow over the ground. This coldness kills bacteria in the soil and allows the plants to "rest," and while the plants have the same amount of darkness as they would any other year at this time, the soil has been warm and soft, essentially tricking the plants into thinking it's springtime.
So how are farmers protecting themselves? How are they dealing? The weather has encouraged Jack to be thinking about the kinds of plants he grows, and specifically, to look for a wide, diverse range of adaptive plants that can handle major fluctuations in temperature. It also has him thinking about "fringe crops": "We usually don't grow apricots here, because the frosts come late and zap them," but he had great apricots this year. "It could very well be the same ways with almonds and figs," he ventured.
"Fringe crops" are ones that will occasionally bear fruit and sometimes won't. It's not usually practical to put all of your proverbial eggs in a basket like that, but having a few crops that do well at more extreme ends of the weather spectrum can save you in a tough period when nothing else is growing (or just not growing well). "When you have a lot of diversity on the farm, some years are good for some things and some years are good for other things," said Jack, citing the need for increased diversity on farms, at Stone Barns and everywhere. "Growing just one or a couple of similar things can be totally wiped out by a weather pattern. That can be really destructive for a farmer."
For this reason, specialty crops—and specialized farms—are more at risk in unpredictable weather. At the greenmarket, I talked to Clara, a woman bundled up behind the Roxbury Mountain Maple stand. She told me about how maple trees, like other plants, need a cold stretch; cold allows for sap to develop in the tree. Without a cold snap, the flavor of the syrup could change, or the sap could run dry too soon—bad news for maple syrup lovers, and farmers.
It's something Gary Scheft, a garlic farmer in Norfolk, Connecticut, has considered, too: Heirloom garlic is all he grows. Gary trusts his seeds to produce beautiful German white hardneck garlic, his preferred variety; and he trusts the manure, which his friend's cows produce, that he spreads on his fields.
"But by now, the ground should be frozen," he said; German white hardneck garlic loves cold weather, and benefits from having a layer of snow over it. But this year, things have sprouted. "Too much sprouting," he tells me, "would mean that the plant thinks it's springtime," only to literally be nipped in the bud were a cold snap to come.
For Jack, the director at Stone Barns, "The only way [the weather] affected my planning is that we could get just about anything." He saw plants and trees—dandelions, forsythia, cherry trees—flowering in December, and while a freeze probably won't kill the plants, it might "make the bloom in the spring not function," he said. That is, the plant may only have a few buds rather than a whole tree of them; fewer buds means fewer blooms, which means less pollination, which means less fruit.
Jack also reminded that weather isn't the only thing that influences a growing season: He does a lot of his planning and planting with consideration to moon cycles, and by watching what's happening elsewhere on the farm: which birds are migrating in and out, which plants are beginning to sprout, how warm the soil is. "We can't be married to a particular date," he said of planting. "We have to be reading the ecosystem. With vegetables, there's luckily a lot of room for flow. We can cooperate with what the weather gives us."

The sex shop Come As You Are is once again facilitating the annual Masturbate-A-Thon to raise money for charity and celebrate the art of self-love.
The Masturbate-A-Thon, which takes place Saturday, May 26, aims to eradicate stigma around the healthy act of masturbation while also raising money for a community group. This year's recipient is Maggie's: The Toronto Sex Worker Action Project, which helps provide education, advocacy and support to sex workers.
Masturbate-A-Thon is celebrated as part of Masturbation Month (May) in six countries around the world. More than 1,500 people have participated officially since 1998, but it can be assumed that the other 7 billion people on the planet celebrated Masturbation Month in their own way.
Participants can sign up and get pledge forms at Come As You Are or from their website. They then collect pledges for every minute or hour that they spend masturbating on May 26. The whole event is conducted under the honour system, as there are no judges, and participants will perform their self-abuse in the privacy of their own homes, at roadside stops and in gym steamrooms.
But meat-beaters won't be completely alone during the event. Participants are encouraged to tweet their progress over the course of the day, while Come As You Are will be retweeting the best posts on its account (@caya_coop).
Sarah Forbes Roberts, a spokesperson for Come As You Are, says the event is open to people of all genders. Participants are encouraged to use whatever styles and techniques they enjoy best when self-loving, although it is an endurance event, so participants should be careful not to enjoy themselves too much too quickly.
So far, the record amount raised by a single participant is $1,000. The top five fundraisers this year will win a selection of exciting and gratifying prizes from Come As You Are, although clearly, they don't need the help.

1. Introduction
Innovation and research in future technologies can
have great possible benefits but can also raise social and ethical concerns.
The main focus of this report will be on the Internet-based photo-sharing
application Instagram. An app based service that lets registered users upload
photos or videos to a platform page. Since its launch in October 2010, it has
attracted more than 150 million active users, with an average of 55 million photos
uploaded by users per day, and more than 16 billion photos shared so far (Hu et
al, 2014), the app has undergone a transformation in it's history that has
provided both benefits and controversies with the user. In order to realistically
understand and address possible ethical and social issues, users need to have
an understanding of what such issues might be.
This report will begin by clarifying its concepts of emerging
technologies and principles of investigating the ethical consequences. Then will
explore the ethical issues related to the field of emerging information and
communication technologies (ICTs). Finally, in conclusion, this report will recommend
how Instagram could be made more privacy friendly for the future.
2. Ethics
Social networking websites such as Facebook, Twitter,
and LinkedIn have become the established normality for communication and
maintaining relationships. While these websites are useful tools for exchanging
information, Ethical implications still gnaw at the users of this ICT. People are
still concerned that their personal details are being circulated far more
widely than they would like to think. different issues can have different
meanings for different technologies or in different application scenarios.
However, there are many similarities and there is important overlap between the
technologies. This section therefore offers a brief outline of the main themes
and some of the key sub-themes of this report.

[One Career Please, 684 words, Genre: Mind Fudge]
* Image courtesy of Dirk de Bruyn
Christopher had just returned from a long journey, he had been all over the world. He had seen things that were a mix of shock and delight from every place you could think of. But in the end, as with all things, it came to an end. He was back home now. Back in Australia. He had no money or job lined up, he was just going with the flow of things. Though, Christopher's mind was adversely objectionable to the flow of things. He had worked jobs before, had hated them, but had performed well in the tasks each job had set out before him. He gained some satisfaction from the jobs, but nothing that could be described as a fulfilment of his personal ambition.
Christopher would look around to those that did find meaning in the workplace. They were forever stuck in an endless cycle of repeating the same task over and over again, until they had obtained a level of perfection with the task involved. They would then compete with their co-workers, stabbing each other in the back and pissing over each other's graves. The roles that people fought for, well, Christopher couldn't quite discern why they were fighting for them. It was Christopher's viewpoint that society had imposed a cultural standard of success onto the minds of the masses, making a crater of their personal ambitions, leaving a hollow shell that could only be filled once ingratiated into the cult of success. It was either that, or most people never had personal ambitions in the first place, they had started without any goals. These were the people that workplaces loved, people who had minds like putty, that could be moulded in whatever way their superiors desired. Unsurprisingly, the very same type of person would also kill on command if they were told it was the right thing to do. Historically speaking: they had allowed for evil dictators to seize control and wage wars; largely lacked any ethical consideration; and were currently involved in a cult-like mentality of positive thinking.
Positive thinking, that really was the first step one took to gain entrance into the inner sanctum of success. Christopher attempted to envision what it would be like to be successful. Lots of people high-fiving each other, caught up in some insatiable orgy of human lust and holding power over all the others who yearned to be admitted into the inner sanctum. Well, that was one side of the coin. The other side told a different story. People who had gained access to the inner sanctum were master manipulators. The back stabbing and grave pissing didn't end there. There was no prize of peace for the winner of the game because there is no winner, the game never ends. Once you enter that arena, there is only one objective and that's survival.
It made Christopher want to throw up just thinking about it. That's life. That's what it means to be career driven. All these career driven people. Christopher's thoughts could be summed up in one and a half words; 'fuck 'em.' Christopher was looking for a job, not a career. There is a point of difference there. A career implies that you have a destination, you have that drive for success that all employers are looking for, you want to climb up the ladder of power. A job implies a level of detachment of your personality from your work role. A career implies that you are your job, that is your personality.
Christopher had applied for hundreds of jobs since arriving back in Australia. Then the phone call came.
"Hello is this Christopher?"
"Hi Christopher, this is Anne from employment solutions." Chris couldn't remember which job it was in specific relation to. "So tell me Chris, why would you want a job in this industry?"
He knew what they wanted to hear, the answer that would allow Anne to tick that box on the piece of paper she was filling out on the other end of the phone, "Well Anne, I don't just want a job. I want a career…"

How The October 13th Full Moon Will Affect Your Sleep, Based On Your Zodiac Sign
Losing sleep during a Full Moon is nothing new, but this one might affect you a little differently.
According to many astrologers, a full moon can have some pretty intense effects on everyone. Full moons are typically known to mess with emotions, causing mood swings and making us act differently than we normally would. Full moons are even thought to be responsible for things like more car accidents and more animal attacks – basically, anything weird or out of the ordinary can be blamed on a full moon. So, that said, it makes sense that the full moon would also affect your sleep. And since the October full moon is coming up on Oct. 13, you might want to be aware of how the October full moon will affect your sleep based on your zodiac sign.
The idea that the full moon affects your sleep can actually sort of be backed up by science. According to BBC in 2013, a small study from Basel University in Switzerland found that a group of participants didn't sleep as long or as well during a full moon compared to other times during the lunar cycle. Scientists also found that the reason wasn't the extra light in the sky, but something else having to do with the moon, although they aren't sure exactly what that Is.
A full moon might indeed make sleep harder around Oct. 13. Bustle spoke with astrologer Lisa Stardust, who said, "The Aries full moon will elevate tensions, thereby causing us all to be in dire need of a nap due to the energy we have put out in the open. It's time for us all to make sure we are getting enough sleep and rest." That's the general idea, but each sign will feel things a little bit differently. Here's a breakdown of what you can expect:
Aries (March 21 – April 19)
Aries, the full moon isn't the only reason you're feeling a bit like an insomniac. Stardust says, "Your relationship woes may cause you to have restless nights. Try to create boundaries to get some shut eye."
Taurus (April 20 – May 20)
This full moon is going to make you feel extra emotional, which is definitely going to change the way you feel at night. Stardust says, "You're emotionally drained during this luminary, which is causing you to long for extra sleep 24/7." Try to nap as much as possible!
Gemini (May 21 – June 20)
"It's been a long time since you've connected with friends, which is causing you to overextend yourself," says Stardust. "Give yourself a moment to rest rather than going out hardcore." Don't feel like you have to be super social around this full moon, and let yourself relax a bit — you need it.
Cancer (June 21 – July 22)
Cancer, you're going to be feeling the effects of work during this full moon. Stardust says, "Work may stress you out, making you long for [quality time] nestled up in bed. Allow yourself to have five minute power naps to ignite your core energy."
Leo (July 23 – August 22)
Libra, you need a break from social media for your own good! Stardust recommends, "Turning off your electronics an hour before bed will help you to lessen your anxieties and get rest." Just say no to that final scroll through [social media] when you could be sleeping.
Virgo (August 23 – September 23)
Virgo, you've had a lot going on lately, and it shows. Stardust says, "You're worn out now — spend time focusing on regaining your strength and reviving your energy with 8 to 10 hours of sleep."
Libra (September 23 – October 22)
Libra, you've been feeling some pretty intense emotions lately. "Your energy is high, which may cause you to spend your evenings tossing in turning in bed," says Stardust. "Meditate and try breathing exercises for a few minutes to help you fall asleep faster."
Scorpio (October 23 – November 21)
If you've been working extra hard lately, you're probably noticing the effects of that when you're in bed. "Be careful not to push yourself too hard, as you can become over exhausted and sleepy due to stress," says Stardust.
Sagittarius (November 22 – December 21)
It's great that your social life has been awesome, but you need to catch up on some rest. "You've been hitting the party scene hard and now it's finally caught up with you," says Stardust. "Get your sleep in check before you spend time oversleeping at work."
Capricorn (December 22 – January 19)
Capricorn, your overactive brain is probably leading to some pretty sleepless nights. Stardust says, "You're more restless than ever; however, a warm bath may help alleviate your troublesome sleep."
Aquarius (January 20 – February 19)
Take advantage of this full moon energy to focus on your mental health. "Download a meditation app to zen out," recommends Stardust. "This will also allow you time to rest your energy and sleep peacefully."
Pisces (February 20 – March 20)
Pisces, get ready to feel exhausted. Stardust says, "This luminary is going to knock out your energy. Make sure you get enough rest in the days before to prepare yourself."

The association between nurse staffing and hospital outcomes in injured patients
The enormous fiscal pressures facing trauma centers may lead trauma centers to reduce nurse staffing and to make increased use of less expensive and less skilled personnel. The impact of nurse staffing and skill mix on trauma outcomes has not been previously reported. The goal of this study was to examine whether nurse staffing levels and nursing skill mix are associated with trauma patient outcomes.
We used data from the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Nationwide Inpatient Sample to perform a cross-sectional study of 70,142 patients admitted to 77 Level I and Level II centers. Logistic regression models were used to examine the association between nurse staffing measures and (1) mortality, (2) healthcare associated infections (HAI), and (3) failure-to-rescue. We controlled for patient risk factors (age, gender, injury severity, mechanism of injury, comorbidities) and hospital structural characteristics (trauma center status – Level I versus Level II, hospital size, ownership, teaching status, technology level, and geographic region).

Culture Trip stands with
Black Lives Matter
Perched at the top of the Royal Mile on an extinct volcano sits Edinburgh Castle in all her glory. Prepare to be enraptured by Scotland's Crown Jewels and enthralled by the riveting history and tales of the castle. Cover your ears when Mons Meg, the one o'clock gun, bellows across the city.
Edinburgh Castle, Castlehill, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, +44 131 225 9846
For a different perspective on the city, try the weird and wonderful Camera Obscura and World of Illusions. The main highlight is the Camera Obscura itself, which is a cross between a giant pinhole camera and a periscope, giving you incredible 360-degree views of the city. With six floors of fun, you can get lost in the crafty and deceptive maze, explore the magic gallery and marvel at captivating holograms from around the world.
Camera Obscura, 549 Castlehill, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, +44 131 226 3709
While Edinburgh has many secrets, one gem that is thankfully not kept under lock and key is The Real Mary King's Close. Lying deep beneath the Old Town and the Royal Mile is a set of underground spaces and streets (known as closes), which are entangled with chilling stories that have haunted the locals since the 17th century. Ghosts and ghouls aside, this attraction gives a fascinating depiction of Edinburgh life between the 16th and 19th centuries.
Through the immersive and sensory act of narrative, the Scottish Storytelling Centre resurrects the historical happenings from a bygone Scotland – all from John Knox's house, the last surviving original medieval building on the Royal Mile. There is no better place to hear the riveting tales of times gone by than its location at the old city gate. Every October, the Scottish International Storytelling Festival is held here, too. Make sure to check out the many live events, music, family events, theatre performances, story wall and house tours.
Scottish Storytelling Centre, John Knox House, 43-45 High St, Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, +44 131 556 9579
From the ornate stained-glass windows to the intricate woodwork and high ceilings, St Giles' Cathedral is an impressive piece of 14th-century architecture. Set your eyes upon the famous crown steeple, which plays a supporting role in Edinburgh's breathtaking city skyline. This divine place of worship is dedicated to Saint Giles, the prominent medieval saint of cripples and lepers. This pious figure is the patron saint of Edinburgh, too.
It is only fitting for the Scottish Parliament building to be located at the end of the Royal Mile, next to the palace and majestic Arthur's Seat. The spikes, curves and interesting shapes of this building are comprised of oak, steel and granite. There is no questioning that the bold architecture and design from Enric Miralles certainly makes a statement. This prominent architect garnered inspiration from the works of famous Scottish artist Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the diverse landscape of the country.

In the high street section of the Royal Mile near St Giles' Kirk, keep your eyes peeled for The Heart of Midlothian, a heart-shaped mosaic camouflaged within the grey cobbled pavement. This stone is made from granite setts and is very precious to the Scots. It marks the location of the Old Tollbooth from the 15th century. From a menacing prison to an administration centre, and later an execution site, the tollbooth has a colourful past. Try to keep a poker face and don't be alarmed by the spectacle of locals spitting on this magical mosaic – it brings the best of luck.
