24 August . Browning, Elizabeth Barrett to Mitford, Mary Russell.
Ever dearest Miss Mitford, it's great comfort to have your letter,—for as it came more lingeringly than usual I had time to be a little anxious, .. & even my husband has confessed since that he thought what he would not say aloud for fear of paining me, as to the probability of your being less well than usual. Your letters come so regularly to the hour, you see, that when it strikes without them, we ask why. Thank God, you are better after all, and reviving in spirits, as I saw at the first glance before the words said it clearly. I do thank God—and I thank you too for telling me the delightful news in your own delightful way, dearest Miss Mitford. What a lovely nest you must have found on the river-bank, & how you must have enjoyed the scenery & the freshness, the new drives & new impressions—(I am quite pleased & satisfied .. you could not have chosen better, certainly ..) the old friends & old resources being carried with you in a manner, so that you combined all things.
How I sympathize with you in the vexation of visitors. You know I used to wonder how you bore it. Mere visitors—not friends & sympathizers.
Title 24 August . Browning, Elizabeth Barrett to Mitford, Mary Russell.
Letter Text Florence. August 24–  Ever dearest Miss Mitford, it's great comfort to have your letter,—for as it came more lingeringly than usual I had time to be a little anxious, .. & even my husband has confessed since that he thought what he would not say aloud for fear of paining me, as to the probability of your being less well than usual. Your letters come so regularly to the hour, you see, that when it strikes without them, we ask why. Thank God, you are better after all, and reviving in spirits, as I saw at the first glance before the words said it clearly. I do thank God—and I thank you too for telling me the delightful news in your own delightful way, dearest Miss Mitford. What a lovely nest you must have found on the river-bank, & how you must have enjoyed the scenery & the freshness, the new drives & new impressions—(I am quite pleased & satisfied .. you could not have chosen better, certainly ..) the old friends & old resources being carried with you in a manner, so that you combined all things. As for ourselves, we have scarcely done so well—yet well,—having enjoyed a great deal in spite of drawbacks. Murray, the traitor, sent us to Fano as a "delightful summer residence for an English family," & we found it uninhabitable from the heat .. vegetation scorched into paleness, the very air swooning in the sun, and the gloomy looks of the inhabitants sufficiently corroborative of their words, that no drop of rain or dew ever falls there during the summer. A "circulating library" which "does'nt give out books", and "a refined & intellectual Italian society" (I quote Murray for that phrase) which "never reads a book through" (I quote Mrs Wiseman, Dr Wiseman's mother who has lived in Fano seven years) complete the advantages of the place—yet the churches are beautiful, and a divine picture of Guercino's is worth going all that way to see. By a happy accident we fell in with Mrs Wiseman, who having married her daughter to Count Gabrielli with ancestral possessions in Fano, has lived on there from year to year, in a state of permanent moaning as far as I could apprehend. She is a very intelligent & vivacious person, & having been used to the best French society, bears but ill this exile from the common civilities of life. I wish Dr Wiseman, of whose childhood & manhood, she spoke with touching pride, would ask her to minister to the domestic rites of his bishop's palace in Westminster—there wd be no hesitation I fancy, in her acceptance of the invitation. Agreeable as she & her daughter were however, we fled from Fano, after three days,—& finding ourselves cheated out of our dream of summer coolness, resolved on substituting for it what the Italians call 'un bel giro'. So we went to Ancona .. a striking sea-city, holding up against the brown rocks & elbowing out the purple tides—beautiful to look upon. An exfoliation of the rock itself, you would call the houses that seem to grow there—so identical is the colour & character. I shd -------------- How I sympathize with you in the vexation of visitors. You know I used to wonder how you bore it. Mere visitors—not friends & sympathizers.

Halo Effect
Halo Effect started in the autumn of 2001, thanks to the union of different musical experiences. The atmosphere of their music ranges from Synthpop to EBM, through Darkwave, with some more experimental passages. The intense live activity, has led them to play in various parts of Italy and abroad, sharing the stage with artists like Melotron, Covenant, Cruxshadows, Steve Naghavi (And One), De / Vision, Bloody, Dead & Sexy, Ionic Vision, and Krisma Greenhaus, resulting in an increased response at an international level. After the first 2 cd-demos "Past Continuous" and "Days of Silence" and one EP "Schwarz EP", which have enjoyed great success with audiences and critics, Halo Effect has produced two full length CDs "New Romantic Industry" and "The Fourth Zone", which was followed by several important remixes by international bands (like Eternal Afflict, A Spell Inside, Spektralized, Etc..) who have become one of the best electro bands of the Italian and European scene. Halo Effect offer a live-act of great impact and energy. Halo Effect has also produced three video clips of the songs "Harder and Faster," "Hammer the gear" and "Life Goes On".
After three years the album "Recoding" was released on December 7, 2012. Androids, virtual reality and rebelling machines, those are the themes for the return of Halo Effect. Produced by Mika Rossi (Autodafeh / Endless Shame) who mixed the album giving an international flavor to the sound of the band.
Life Is Perfect – 2015 –
The new full-length is a real, efficient generator of energy and melody, concentrated in sixteen songs in which the vocalist spreads atmospheric, passionate intonations, while the propulsion of drum-programming draw geometric traces and synths adorn the structures by avant-garde modulations, all in a fantastic triumph of futurism, meaningful lyrics and highly seductive electronic musicality.

Woman Who Faked Kidnapping Jailed Six Years

By Eventlabgh , in Celebrity Entertainment News , at October 26, 2021
29-year-old Joana Krah who faked her abduction at Takoradi in the Western Region has been sentenced to six years imprisonment.
She was found guilty of causing fear and deceiving a public officer.
She was sentenced to two years on her first charge of the publication of false news and six years on the second charge of deceiving a public officer.
The court presided over by His Honor Micheal Kwodjoe Ampadu said she will serve a 6-year jail term instead.
Her sentencing comes after she pleaded guilty to the two charges proffered against her at her first appearance before the Court on Monday, October 25.
Before the Presiding Judge sentenced Joana to six years imprisonment, he temporarily adjourned proceedings and asked the police to take Joana to the Takoradi hospital for her to undergo a pregnancy test.
He, therefore, said the court looked at how Takoradi is being destroyed by kidnapping, hence needed to give maximum sentencing to deter others.
"In passing the judgement, the court looked at the degree of the prevalence of the crime, considered her age and her character, her three-year-old child as well as being a first time offender coupled with plea… The threat of kidnapping will destroy Takoradi if nothing is done to stop it. The four Takoradi kidnapped girls' case is fresh in the minds of the people and Takoradi is becoming synonymous with kidnapping, which is not good for the people of Takoradi and the image of Takoradi. It is clear that her action was to personally benefit from kidnapping and her joke of kidnapping was detrimental to Takoradi and the court thinks the deterrent sentencing must be given", he said.
The court further gave custody of her child to the godfather.
Madam Krah, was arrested over the weekend for faking her kidnapping on Friday, October 22, 2021, in a bid to extort GH¢5,000 from her godfather.
She was on Monday, October 25, 2021, put before the Takoradi Habour Circuit Court A, presided over by his honour Michael Kwodjoe Ampoadu where she was pleaded guilty to the charge.
Police had indicated that the suspect conspired with two others, Susan Awortwe and Francis Eshun to execute her plan.
Joana became aware that her godfather had reported to the Police and an extensive search had commenced to find her.
She subsequently showed up at the Takoradi Central Police Station on Saturday, October 23, to confess.
She claimed she was only joking with her godfather with claims that she had been kidnapped.

While all persons should be progressively covered by social protection systems, under human rights law, priority should be accorded to ensure the most disadvantaged and marginalised groups are protected by social security guarantees. As noted by the CESCR in General Comment 19, "all persons should be covered by the social security system, especially individuals belonging to the most disadvantaged and marginalised groups, without discrimination".
In the same vein, the national social protection floor is described as a system to guarantee income security and access to basic services throughout the life cycle with particular attention to the most vulnerable and disadvantaged. ILO Recommendation No. 202 calls on States to ensure that national social security strategies "support for disadvantaged groups and people with special needs" (para. 16).

Jamie Carragher has accused Fernando Torres of 'not giving his best' for Liverpool ahead of his transfer to Chelsea, and does not believe Luis Suarez would consider doing the same as the ex-Red.
Torres joined Chelsea for a British record £50 million in the January transfer window of 2011, having endured a difficult six months at Liverpool under Roy Hodgson after returning from World Cup glory.
The Spain international handed in a transfer request after learning of the interest from Chelsea and, having initially rejected his plea, Liverpool succumbed and allowed him to move to Stamford Bridge.
Liverpool may be forced to follow a similar path with Suarez, who has outlined his desire to leave Anfield have become disillusioned with his treatment from the English press and football authorities.
The Uruguay international has been linked with a transfer to Real Madrid before the deadline in September but Carragher, who retired at the end of last season, does not expect Suarez to cause Liverpool any unnecessary trouble.
"I do believe that Suarez is a slightly different character to Fernando Torres," said Carragher at a Sky TV event.
"The thing about keeping unhappy players is an issue because we had that experience with Torres and keeping him wasn't the right thing to do. Torres wasn't the same player for about 18 months and that's certainly what you don't want.
"There were times, I believe, when Torres wasn't giving his best on the pitch for Liverpool and that is why it was a mistake to keep him.
"I don't think that will happen with Suarez, simply because of the player he is, but it is something you must be aware of. Obviously, it is a difficult situation if a player has had his head turned, but someone at the club would have to deal with it."


I made it a whole year!
I've tried to explain my love for NYC, but somehow every single time it ends up sounding more like a giant complaint. It's loud, sweaty, uncomfortable, expensive, and filled with rats. I wouldn't have it any other way. I don't think it's possible to truly understand why this city is so unbelievably magical unless you spend some time here yourself.
I'm constantly wondering why I got to be this lucky, but at the end of the day I'd rather just be thankful.
The loving sounds of a Jack Hammer playing it's tunes for hours during the day… right outside my office window.
The exotic smells of the Subway during rush hour.
The dreary dreadful days of winter.
The refreshing breeze as it hits my sweaty skin. Summer or winter… refreshing, nonetheless.
The ability to have the tastiest, crunchiest, juiciest, yummyiest wings on earth brought to my doorstep with a click of a button. Whenever I want.
The joy of seeing $16 on my check… for 1 cosmo.
The inability to get anywhere within a reasonable amount of time on the weekends.
The distinguished smell of Chinatown as the summer air approaches. And stays.
The weekly relentless honking battle outside my window. At 7am.
The lost tourists stopping directly in front of me as I try to make up for the train delay.
The inevitable truth that I will never be comfortable.
The best people watching in soho.
The unbelievable luck I feel every single day I walk out of my front door.
A year ago today, I packed a bag and hopped a plane with very little idea of how I'm going to build a life for myself in nyc. All I knew was that this is where I was meant to go. I was scared and pessimistic… good thing I didn't give up on my dream just because it didn't seem realistic.
I'm living in my dream neighborhood in my dream apartment working in my dream job.
Every day I wake up feeling like like I won the freaking lottery.
Cheers to chasing what feels right.
In the last 5 days I have listened to a South African Princess make magic on a stage, indulged in the best lox and caviar cream cheese while enjoying classical music in the beautiful outdoors, drank beers in a tiny Staten Island dive bar with the 'locals', ate an authentic Italian dinner made by an Italian grandma (her name is Nonna), rode around Manhattan on a private boat exploring the canals of NJ & Brooklyn (Gowanus canal is GROSS), and spent an evening drinking cocktails with artists on a rooftop of a very old hotel in the middle of Chelsea as part of my job. The best part? This isn't vacation.. this is my life.
Dear NYC, I love you.
Happy anniversary and cheers to many many more years to come!


Gov. Bruce Rauner's campaign has a new commercial featuring a woman who says she is a "lifelong Democrat," but Cook County records show she voted in GOP primaries in 2000, 2012, 2014 and 2018.
Anne Wedner, who is shown in the 30-second ad with the words "Lifelong Democrat" appearing on the screen, also founded Kent Road Strategies, based in Winnetka, where she lives and is on the village council. The Rauner campaign last year paid the firm $50,000 for strategy consulting.
Rauner's main home, other than the Governor's Mansion, is in Winnetka.
According to a U.S. State Department website, Wedner is a commissioner of the United States Commission on Public Diplomacy, and a board member of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs.
She is a graduate of Harvard College and also the Fletcher School at Tufts University — a graduate school of international affairs — and early in her career she was in the Foreign Service in Paris and Caracas.
She was also a national finance committee member for Obama for America and played a key role in former Democratic President Barack Obama's U.S. Senate campaign, the biography says. It also says she has advised Democratic and Republican candidates on policies and campaigns.
In two of the years Wedner took Republican primary ballots — 2014 and 2018 — Rauner was running for governor. The Cook County records also show she voted in seven Democratic primaries since 1998, including in 2016.

Some of the most common problems for air conditioning units are related to fan motor problems. They ten to make noises, they don't circulate the air properly or maybe they just stop during the process of cooling. This is usually a sign that the air conditioner needs some maintenance and some parts replaced.
The main thing that you need to do is identify the source of the problem and the size of it. Maybe it's a DIY job and doesn't require any professional help.
When you hear strange noises coming from the air conditioner fan motor, it's a sign that something is obstructing the fan or maybe the blades are bent and this creating vibrations. Open the cover of the unit and check the fan. Do any necessary repairs.
If the air conditioner unit is a little older, then the fan maybe it's not working properly anymore. It doesn't circulate the air. This can be noticed as you will hear the fan working harder but the temperature will still be the same. This problem can usually be solved by replacing the fan.
If your problem is that the fan motor shuts off suddenly, then you should replace it. Electrical shorts may cause it to act like that and if the problem is left unresolved, it may cause a total malfunction and damage the circuits of the AC unit. The fan may be repaired but it will need some professional look.

Actor - Mike Farrell
Mike Farrell, worked a number of jobs - including a stint as private investigator - while pursuing a career as an actor, beginning with small parts in films like "The Graduate". Mike is best known for playing Captain B.J. Hunnicutt in the ever popular series M*A*S*H. Long before M*A*S*H, Mike Farrell was involved in issues that were of concern to him. This involvement stems from his belief that being a responsible citizen means being willing to see conditions improve for the ultimate benefit of all. Clearly his status as a recognized celebrity from his years with the well-loved show allow now for a larger audience, but it is as citizen rather than actor that he feels the need to be involved. The issues are largely those involving human rights and the death penalty.

Exoneree - Robert Dewey
In 1994, 19-year-old Jacie Taylor was murdered. Robert Dewey was identified as a suspect based on the changing stories of other meth users and on his suspicious and furtive behavior. Blood on the Texaco shirt he often wore at the time was identified as possibly being Taylor's based on early DNA tests. Dewey candidly admits that the blood on the shirt was his - a result of shooting up drugs. After much more sophisticated blood testing, it also showed DNA samples in Taylor's apartment that belonged to another man, Douglas Thames, who also lived near Taylor. Thames was currently serving life in prison without the possibility of parole for his conviction in the 1989 rape and murder of another woman in Fort Collins. Thames was arrested in August 1995 by Fort Collins Police Department and was convicted at trial and sentenced in June 1996. Dewey was exonerated in April 2012.

On August 25, 1981, a 27-year-old white woman was riding her bike near White Rock Lake in east Dallas, Texas when she was accosted by a shirtless African-American man. Her assailant said he had a knife and pulled her off the bicycle, threatened and raped her. The victim described the attacker to police as an African-American man in his 20s. A rape kit was collected from her at the hospital, including swabs from her body. Johnnie Lindsey was charged with aggravated rape and tried in 1983. Lindsey was convicted of aggravated sexual assault, sentenced to life in prison and fined $10,000. The 1983 conviction was overturned on appeal because Lindsey had been indicted under a statute that was not yet in effect at the time of the rape. In 1985, he was re-indicted for aggravated rape, retried, and again convicted and sentenced to life with a fine of $5,000. DNA tests were completed in September 2008 and it excluded Lindsey as the source of the male DNA profile in the rape kit.

Lou Bryan was on the jury that convicted Michael Morton of the murder of his wife, Christine. Prosecutors failed to share critical information such as police reports of suspicious activity near the Morton home in the weeks prior to Christine Morton's murder. The jurors were never told that neighbors had noticed a man in a green van parking near the Morton home and walking into the field behind it. Most hauntingly, they failed to share the eyewitness account of Michael and Christine Morton's 3-year old son, Eric, who said that his daddy wasn't home when his mommy was killed and that it was a "monster" who killed Mommy. DNA proved that another man killed Christine Morton. That man's DNA was linked to a second murder, another woman, also bludgeoned to death in her bed. She was killed two years after Christine Morton's death, while Michael Morton sat in prison.
Lou stated "No one should be called to jury duty and be left with a lifetime of regret and guilt." Lou collected newspaper clippings of this case for the entire 25 years Michael was in prison.

In December 1981, two men disguised as telephone repairmen entered the home of an elderly couple in Rosemont, California and shot both occupants, killing one, and stole six suitcases full of silver. An anonymous phone call led to the arrest of one of the perpetrators, Gary Masse. Gloria Killian was initially arrested along with Masse, but charges against her were dropped after a preliminary hearing. Masse testified against Killian at her trial and, based solely on his testimony, a jury convicted Killian of first-degree murder, attempted murder, burglary, robbery, and conspiracy; she was sentenced to 32 years-to-life in prison. The prosecution failed to give the defense letters from Masse seeking a deal in exchange for his testimony that indicated that he may have been lying. Masse later admitted that much of the evidence he gave was false. Killian's conviction was overturned and she was released in August 2002.

16 Stops You Can't Miss on the Road to Milford Sound
Essential Pit Stops on the Milford Sound Road
The Road to Milford Sound is probably one of the most popular in the country, but too often is it rushed in a desperate attempt to get to a Milford Sound cruise on time… After reading this list of hikes, sights and worthy pit stops, you'll see that the road to Milford Sound deserves more of your time.
We recommend starting your day in Te Anau and even staying in Milford Sound or one of the Milford Road campsites for at least a night before returning on the Milford Road. There are so many hikes, lakes, waterfalls and photo opportunities that you will kick yourself if you have to miss most of them.
So starting with the stops from Te Anau and making our way down to Milford Sound, here are the 15 stops you can't miss on the Road to Milford Sound.
1. Te Anau
The start of State Highway 94 is a must-visit in itself! Go on a boat ride across Lake Te Anau to the waterfall and whirlpool-filled Te Anau Glowworm Caves, or take the lakeside walkway to the Te Anau Bird Sanctuary which is free for everybody. Make sure to fill up on gas and any other supplies that you may need for your Milford Sound trip as there is no fuel station along the Milford Road. See 5 Te Anau Must-Dos for more things to do there.
Location: The start of the Milford Road!
2. Lake Mistletoe
You've been driving for a good 10 minutes now, so Lake Mistletoe is a great place for your first rest break! Whether you need a rest or not (probably not), Lake Mistletoe offers a 45-minute return walk through the regenerating beech forest to this small glacial lake. Take your lunch! Its a great picnic spot.
Location: 28km (17 miles) along the Milford Sound Road from Te Anau
3. Te Anau Downs
This is the departure point for the famous Milford Track, one of New Zealand's Great Walks. The Te Anau Downs also offers great views of the Murchison Mountains so is well worth stopping for a Kodak moment.
4. Eglinton Valley
Just try not to stop along this huge stunning valley formed by a glacier. There are plenty of places to park on the side of the road, so park up and get snapping. The Eglinton Valley is between 0.5-2km (0.3-1.2 miles) wide with a shingle riverbed floor that is constantly changed by the Eglinton River.
5. Mirror Lakes
This is possibly the most popular stop on the Milford Road. On a calm day, almost perfect reflections can be seen in these appropriately named Mirror Lakes. The 5-minute walk (yes, that's 5 minutes, not the 15 minutes that the Department of Conservation sign says) takes you along a boardwalk and decking area overlooking the Mirror Lake with its reflection of the Earl Mountains.
6. Knobs Flat
Need a pee? Well, this will probably be a pit-stop whether you like it or not. Knobs Flat has visitor amenities like toilets and a telephone only accepting card. (Oh, by the way, there is no phone coverage on the Milford Road or Milford Sound). While you're waiting for everyone to do their business, have a look at the information boards about the effects of avalanches on the Milford Road and wildlife in the Eglinton Valley.

7. Lake Gunn
Discover some of the rainforest you have been driving through on this nature walk which takes you through a stunning red beech forest to the shores of Lake Gunn. It's very likely that's you'll spot a few birds along the way. The easy walk is a 45-minute loop and is wheelchair accessible.
© Jocey K on Wikipedia
8. The Divide
Want to start an epic multi-day hike (like these featured in 5 Multi-Day hikes in Fiordland)? Then it's likely that you will start it from The Divide. This is the lowest east-west pass in the Southern Alps at 513m (1,683ft). The Divide has toilet and shelter facilities.
© Sarang on Wikipedia
9. Key Summit
This is a hike definitely worth doing if you have the time and the stamina for a steep trek uphill. The Key Summit hike (3 hours return) starts at The Divide car park and follows the Routeburn Track, a New Zealand Great Walk, for about one hour. It then branches off on a 20-minute climb through native forest before emerging onto open alpine shrubland with a lake and spectacular views of the Hollyford, Greenstone and Eglinton valleys.
10. Hollyford Valley Lookout (Pops View)
Park up at this roadside lookout and soak up the views of the Hollyford Valley! It doesn't take long, but it's another great photo opportunity.
11. Lower Hollyford Road
The only turn-off of the Milford Road leads to the Lake Marian walking track (see below), Humboldt Falls and the multi-day Hollyford Track. Turning down this road certainly leads to a whole new adventure.
© Krzysztof Golik on Wikipedia
12. Lake Marian
Cross a swingbridge over the beautiful Marian Valley and ascend through a beech forest to this alpine lake situated in a hanging valley. The Lake Marian Track is 3 hours return.
Location: 1km (0.6 miles) down the Hollyford Road, which is 87km (54 miles) along the Milford Sound Road from Te Anau
13. Monkey Creek
If you are one of those people that had to use the toilet stops at Knobs Flat and The Divide, then it's likely that you'll need to fill your water bottle up at Monkey Creek. The pristine water from the creek is safe to drink and is a likely spot to see kea and whio/blue duck.

14. Homer Tunnel
Driving through tunnels is always fun, right? The Homer Tunnel sits at 945 metres (3,100 feet) above sea level and stretches for 1.2km (0.7 miles). With a traffic light control system, be prepared to wait for up to 20 minutes. In the meantime, have a look at the wonderful landscape around you!
Location: 102km (63 miles) along the Milford Sound Road from Te Anau
15. The Chasm
Take this 20-minute loop walk into the rainforest and to an impressive chasm. Floodwater from the Cleddau River has brought the hard rock down the mountain to carve out this display of potholes and waterfalls. Check out more 10 Milford Sound Walks You Can't Miss.
16. Tutoko Valley Route
By now, you must be pretty exhausted exploring every stop on the Milford Road, but if you have a little bit of energy left then this is your last chance to lose it before hitting Milford Sound itself. Signposted next to the Tutoko River bridge seen from the Milford Road, the challenging hike goes through beech forest, alongside a river and open swampland. The end of the route reaches a valley with stunning views of Mt Tutoko, Milford Sound's highest mountain.

Seven Steps to Antarctic Living
Sarah Zielinski
With another frigid winter, complete with a snowstorm dumping on D.C. this week, I'm trying to remind myself that there are far worse places for someone like me who can't stand the cold. Take the South Pole, where winter temperatures can reach more than 100 degrees Fahrenheit below zero. Even summer rarely sees temperatures in positive numbers. Strong winds blow across the plateau, and the night lasts for six months. Captain Robert Scott, who died in his attempt to reach the South Pole, wrote in 1912: "Great God! this is an awful place and terrible enough for us to have laboured to it without the reward of priority."
But a team of scientists and support personnel now lives at the South Pole around the year, weathering even the depths of the polar winter. What advice might they give about surviving life in such a cold and barren place?
1) Be prepared: Everyone who leaves the McMurdo Research Station and heads out to somewhere else on Antarctica, like the South Pole, must first complete the "Happy Camper" training course. Trainees spend two days and a night out on the ice learning about potential threats, such as frostbite and hypothermia, and how to protect themselves by building things like wind walls and survival trenches. Having the right gear helps, but it's no use without knowing what to do with it.
2) Dress warmly: Layers, layers and more layers. When writer Richard Panek visited scientists studying dark energy at the South Pole, he described them wearing "thermal underwear and outerwear, with fleece, flannel, double gloves, double socks, padded overalls and puffy red parkas, mummifying themselves until they look like twin Michelin Men."
3) Don't get wet: Water is a better conductor of heat than air is, so if a person falls into water, even relatively warm water, they are at risk of developing hypothermia—when the body's core temperature falls below 95 degrees—if they don't get out and get warm and dry quickly. At least the South Pole is far away from any liquid bodies of water.
4) Stay hydrated: Antarctica is a desert; low humidity and high winds sap the moisture out of a person. Chapped skin is common. But more importantly, dehydration can contribute to hypothermia and frostbite.
5) Eat well: Even with all those layers or just staying indoors, keeping warm requires more energy than normal. Residents at the South Pole Station eat the same kinds of food they eat at home (they even have a hydroponic garden for fresh veggies), but outdoor snacks have to be something that can be eaten frozen. One resident wrote:
When I first arrived in Antarctica, I was surprised that whenever any one went out for a trip—a few hours or all day—they only ever took chocolate bars to eat. I was most unimpressed with how unhealthy this was, so when I went on my first trip I made some wholesome and nutritious sandwiches (tuna and mayonnaise on wholemeal bread—I remember it well).
Come lunch time, my companion got out his chocolate bar and proceeded to eat it, I got out my sandwiches and after 5 minutes of sucking a frozen corner gave up and resorted to chocolate. Thankfully my companion didn't ROFL, but I didn't bother with my healthy option again!
6) Mark your path: In the dark and blinding winds, it's possible to lose your way, even if your way is relatively short. At the South Pole, paths from research facilities to the base station where everyone lives are marked with lines of flags on poles.
7) Have a warm place to stay: A tent or igloo will do in a pinch, but as of 2008, South Pole residents make their home in a modern base station complete with private rooms, computers and televisions, even a gym with a basketball court.

"Inside Out" is a song by British singer and songwriter Shara Nelson, released in November 1993 on Cooltempo Records as the third single from her first solo album, What Silence Knows (1993). In August 1994, it was re-released as part of a remix single with "Down That Road". A music video was produced to promote the single.

Critical reception
In his weekly UK chart commentary, James Masterton wrote, "Easily the most outstanding track from her album, "Inside Out" goes back to basics featuring just her voice accompanied by a pedal steel guitar, both swathed in echo as if playing in an empty hall. The result is the most heartbreakingly beautiful record you are likely to hear all year and tragically this may be as far as it gets." Upon the re-release of the single, a reviewer from Music & Media said, "A re-release, so here's a re-run of our view: upside down, inside out, backwards, whatever; as long as you play this "electricoustic" soul ballad you stay on the right side of programming." Andy Beevers from Music Week gave it four out of five and named it "one of the classiest tracks" on the album. He noted that it has been remixed for the single by Frankie Knuckles, "who has fleshed out the sparse production of the original to create a lush downtempo soul shuffler". Beevers concluded with that "it should make hit number three." Jonathan Bernstein from Spin felt that "all embellishments are jettisoned for the voice-and-guitar" track.

Now I ask you, who wouldn't adore this cute and cuddly little ball of fur Harp Seal? I simply love those small tuffs of fur that resemble eyebrows on this baby seal!
This is one of those creatures that just looks like they were made to love. However, we better love them while they are young. When Harp Seals are grown, they weight more than a baby elephant.
Of course, I love baby elephants too. I just don't envision myself picking one up and giving it a hug.
Because their coat color changes several times over the course of their lives, they have different names associated with them which describe their coat and reflects their age.
Something I did not choose to cover in great detail is the hunting of Harp Seals.

I've always loved the Harp Seal. The baby, beginning with all white fur at birth as a protection against predators) is SO adorable. Wonderful article about the Harp Seal.
