Meet the Adventurers Who Brave Glacial Caves in the Name of Science
By Megan Hill
Eddy Cartaya and Brent McGregor have unearthed what might as well be another planet. It exists in the backyard of 6 million people, in areas frequented by scores of national park tourists each year.
In 2011, the two men founded Glacier Cave Explorers, a Pacific Northwest–based group of scientists and adventurers, all of whom probe, map and study the extensive cave networks that lie beneath the glaciers on Mount Rainier and Mount St. Helens in Washington and Mount Hood in Oregon. These caves, formed by meltwater and volcanic steam, can answer questions about climate change, volcanology and alpine rescue—and even about what life might look like on other planets. And expeditions to their ethereal, dangerous depths make for one hell of a thrill.
Before they learned of these glacier caves, Cartaya and McGregor had spent years exploring limestone caves and lava tubes. "There's something especially alluring about a cave," said Cartaya, who is a search-and-rescue volunteer, avid climber, law enforcement officer and cave manager for the U.S. Forest Service. "When you see a hole and you can't see the extent of what it harbors, there's a draw to go in, as opposed to a mountain, where you can see the top."

McGregor, a professional wood sculptor, was simply seeking a break from work when he started climbing mountains. "I was in my mid-40s, around the time most people are retiring from climbing," said McGregor, now 65. "I just started summiting peaks—one after the other, more than once, different routes, different seasons, whatever. Once I had done that, I started looking underground." In 2011, he happened upon a YouTube video that showed hikers at the entrance of a cave on Mount Hood's Sandy Glacier and knew he (and his friend Cartaya) had to check it out. While McGregor is quick to note that he didn't discover the cave he named Snow Dragon, he and the Glacier Cave Explorers have since 2011 mapped its more than 7,000 feet of passages.
That first trip into Snow Dragon ignited a new chapter in the two men's caving careers. The multidisciplinary group they founded afterward—Glacier Cave Explorers is part of the National Speleological Society—has since undertaken expeditions to the ice-encrusted upper reaches of Mount Rainier, Mount St. Helens and Mount Hood.
Brent McGregor
Every spring and summer, Glacier Cave Explorers dispatches teams of eight to 12 people up these mountains; some team members are researchers and others are mountaineers who help transport gear, mark routes and ensure safety. Each mountain's approach is different: On Mount St. Helens, equipment can be flown in via helicopter; Rainier requires a multiday climb with packs weighing 80 to 90 pounds. Mount Hood's cave entrances can be reached via a half-day hike. Expeditions last from a few days to two weeks.
Though the researchers have visited each cave many times, they're never sure what to expect.
"With limestone caves, you'll see them grow a little bit if you wait around a thousand years," Cartaya said. "But glacier caves change daily as the whole glacier moves down the mountain. Every time we go back it's like going to a new cave. Waterfalls change positions. Different rooms have formed while others have gone away."
The team approaches a cave's entrance carefully. "Rocks are coming down from the surface and landing in piles at the entrance of the cave," Cartaya said. "Sometimes getting in the cave is the most dangerous part, because you're playing Russian roulette with these things raining down."
Once inside, headlamps illuminate surreal surroundings: wind-scalloped walls glowing blue and green and sparkling like diamonds, meltwater lakes, waterfalls, ceiling holes called moulins, rooms hundreds of feet in diameter, ice stalagmites and other bizarre formations. "It's a magical place," McGregor said.
Tom Wood
It's also a noisy one. "You'll hear big rocks melting out of the walls or the ceilings and hitting the floor, or hundred-pound blocks of ice falling off the ceiling, hitting the floor and ricocheting down the tube with a thunderous roar—kabaam!" McGregor said. "Almost every trip, I come out and have lost my voice because you have to yell so loudly."
The Glacier Cave Explorers can't spend too much time admiring the sights, though—they have to concentrate on the host of things trying to kill them: collapsing ceilings, unexpected floods, ice falls, crevasses, boulders the size of houses careening down passages, avalanches. That's to say nothing of the gases—these are, after all, active volcanoes. The team carries rebreathers and gas monitors to track deadly levels of carbon dioxide, which can pool in invisible lakes below lighter, safer stores of oxygen. A simple fall can send someone into a lethal pool of carbon dioxide (the symptoms of this happenstance closely resemble those of altitude sickness). Meanwhile, volcanic fumaroles can exhale sulfurous gases unpredictably. "It's a constantly changing environment," Cartaya said. "Not just structurally but chemically."
Mount St. Helens, which erupted in 1980 and 2004, is its own beast. "It's not that high, but it's basically like a nuclear bomb went off up there," Cartaya said. "Everything is fractured, falling apart. There are boulders constantly falling down the crater and it's a very stressful environment to be in. The ground is literally moving beneath you." St. Helens is also home to the lower 48's only growing glacier, making it a particularly interesting destination for scientific study.
Brent McGregor
Safety management and planning play a significant role, and so far, Glacier Cave Explorers have experienced no serious incidents. Cartaya emphasizes that theirs are not endeavors for amateurs or thrill-seekers—each team brings it own rescue and medical supplies and installs a field hospital outside the caves.
The research collected on these expeditions serves multiple purposes. The maps—which need to be updated annually as the caves change—can be used in rescue missions. Some scientists who join trips study rare microbial life, looking for so-called extremophiles that thrive in unlikely conditions. Their findings could provide context into what life might look like on Mars and Europa.
Expeditioning glaciologists look for changes beneath the ice that can lend new information about climate change (typical climate studies look at glaciers only from above). This data, especially from the dying glaciers on Mount Hood, can be helpful in predicting impacts on watersheds and other natural resources. "Glaciers are also paleoclimate archives," Cartaya notes. The layers in a glacier—stripes that indicate seasons—are climatic snapshots dating to a glacier's birth. The caves make those layers visible.
Of immediate concern is the question of whether these volcanoes are going to erupt. While the volcanoes are studied extensively for seismic activity, Cartaya said there are other, more silent indicators of potential disaster—and that they're not all thoroughly understood or tracked.
"The ice on these volcanoes can react to changes in geothermal or hydrothermal activity in the mountain," Cartaya said. "It can register changes that are not noticed by surface observations, changes that could signal a destructive event that's not going to be advertised seismically." These changes can point to structural instabilities in the volcano and may portend cataclysmic mudflows, called lahars, which can threaten nearby communities. "Like a wet sand castle, the mountain can blob over under its own weight and collapse," Cartaya said.
Following each expedition, the teams—made up entirely of volunteers—donate their data to the federal agencies that protect and monitor these places, passing along vital information that could help save lives or assist scientific breakthroughs.
"A glacier cave isn't just a hole in the ice," Cartaya said. "It's a whole ecosystem—just an extreme one."

Deforestation in Brazil's Amazon rainforest last month jumped to the highest level since records began in 2015, according to government data.
A total of 563 square kilometers (217.38 square miles) of the world's largest rainforest was destroyed in November, 103% more than in the same month last year, according to Brazil's space research agency.
From January to November this year an area almost the size of the Caribbean island of Puerto Rico was destroyed — an 83% overall increase in destruction when compared with the same period last year.
The figures were released on Friday by the National Institute for Space Research (INPE), and collected through the DETER database, which uses satellite images to monitor forest fires, forest destruction and other developments affecting the rainforest.
What's Behind the Rise?
Overall, deforestation in 2019 has jumped 30% compared to last year — 9,762 square kilometers (approximately 3769 square miles) have been destroyed, despite deforestation usually slowing during November and December.
Environmental groups, researchers and activists blamed the policies of Brazil's president Jair Bolsonaro for the increase.
They say that Bolosonaro's calls for the Amazon to be developed and his weakening support for Ibama, the government's environmental agency, have led to loggers and ranchers feeling safer and braver in destroying the expansive rainforest.
His government hit back at these claims, pointing out that previous governments also cut budgets to environment agencies such as Ibama.
The report comes as Brazil came to loggerheads with the Association of Small Island States (AOSIS) over climate goals during the UN climate conference in Madrid.
AOSIS blasted Brazil, among other nations, for "a lack of ambition that also undermines ours."
Last month, a group of Brazilian lawyers called for Bolsonaro to be investigated by the International Criminal Court over his environmental policies.

Chapter 14. Asher
I can see Shae perfectly from here. I'm hidden by the shadows of trees so no one can see me but yet I can see the little human woman through the window of the Shifter's cabin. Cole is his name, I think. Cole? Cody?Colt! His name is Colt. Yes, the shifter who thinks he can hide this human from me. I quietly laugh to myself at the thought. She has been mine for a while now. Little does he know I've been watching her for a little over a month. When she slept at night, I would climb into the bedroom window she always left open and would watch her. I was on my way to do just that the night I ran into Colt in her yard.
She looks so much like Amilia it is uncanny. But I know Shae will be better than Amilia. Sure Amilia was beautiful but, she knew how to test me. She thought I'd never lay a hand on her. So one night when we were having our daily argument, she thought she'd try to push me out of my own damn bedroom. She thought I'd never hurt her. She learned her lesson after I slashed her abdomen with my claws and left her to bleed out on the floor. She had begged for help but I left her there. I walked out of the house we shared and never looked back.
I had been on my own for about a month when I stumbled upon Shae. I was walking through the woods in my wolf form when I caught her scent. It was amazing. So sweet and delicate. Completely different than Amilia's floral scent. Her scent always made me scrunch my nose when near her. You see, Amilia and I were not true mates. I wanted to become the next beta of the Waya pack and she was the current Beta's daughter. Once he died the position would have fallen to me as he did not have a son. So I tricked Amilia into thinking we were true mates. It wasn't hard. Just had to play the part. She ate it up. She was so convinced we were mates she never even questioned why my scent didn't appeal to her.
None of that matters now though. Shae will be mine soon. I have a plan to get her. I could easily take her now but I never act without a plan. Things can get too messy without a plan. And I learned that after my encounter with Colt and Shae in the park. I was watching her, as I do most nights. When I saw her leave with Colt I wanted to attack him then and there but I waited. Soon though her scent became too much. I began to walk forward and when he tried to protect her form me I almost lost it. Then I saw the fear in her eyes and rage coursed through me. How dare she be scared of me! Can she not tell I am her true mate? Not Colt. I should have attacked him and then punished her for her reaction towards me. But that wasn't the place or time for that. So I left, although always stayed close enough to watch her but to not be scented by Colt.
The only time I let my anger loose was on the man from earlier tonight. Blaze, was is name. At least that is what I heard his pack memebers call him. I knew Colt had left Shae alone so I planned on going into the restaurant. I wasn't going to do anything but simply watch her. However when I got close enough I realized Colt had set up a man at both entrances to guard. It immediately angered me. If he thought two guards would scare me away he was damn wrong. I decided to send a message, if you will. I snuck up on the man guarding the back entrance and shifter my hand into my wolf's claws. I came up from behind him and reached around and tried to slash his throat. My goal was to end him however at the last second he realized he wasn't alone and he was in danger. He moved and his movement was just enough for me to not make the wound instantly fatal. He had fallen to the ground and I ran before he had a chance to see my face.
Soon, Colt will die too and Shae will be mine. Hopefully she doesn't try to test me the way Amilia did. It'd be a shame to make history repeat itself. I shake my head to rid the thought. No. Not Shae. She'll be good to me and in return I won't hurt her. Content with my train of thought I take one last look at my little Shae. Then take off through the woods again. I cross my paths over and over to keep throwing The Riverfall Pack memebers off. They won't catch me. I never get caught.

Every woman should have the opportunity to make an informed choice about the contraceptive method that's right for her. However, when it comes to family planning following an abortion, we know that not every woman has that choice.
To better support women following an abortion, at Marie Stopes International we have worked to understand: Which approaches enable quality post-abortion contraception counselling, and which don't?
In this article, we'll share three of the key lessons we've learned, in the hope that these learnings will help other implementers to roll out quality post-abortion contraception elsewhere too.
The challenge: how to support every woman with high-quality contraceptive counselling
To enable women to determine their own futures, it's essential that effective contraception and supportive counselling is available. It's been found that including this counselling within a safe abortion and post-abortion care service, also known as post-abortion contraception or post-abortion family planning, can help in reducing future unwanted pregnancies.
In recognition of this, we wanted to establish whether women served across MSI's country programmes are receiving supportive counselling in tandem with their services, or whether there was something holding them back from accessing effective contraception. These barriers can arise at a number of levels:
- At the facility level, for example, from a lack of family planning commodities or trained providers
- At the provider level, for example, if the provider delivers no counselling, or their counselling is biased
- At the client level, for example, if the woman is concerned about contraceptive side effects.
Since 2012, MSI evaluated several interventions to see how we can deconstruct these barriers and expand access to more women. Below we've shared what we found worked.
3 lessons on providing balanced post-abortion family planning counselling
Lesson 1: Make family planning counselling a central element of your safe abortion and post-abortion care training and quality monitoring
Although it's been found that counselling women on family planning following an abortion can reduce client-level barriers in low-income countries, we also know there's no silver bullet.
Every woman is different and contraceptive counselling should always be tailored to needs and preferences – including medical eligibility, fertility desires and lifestyle. Balanced contraceptive counselling takes time and skill, so providing post-abortion contraceptive counselling needs to be a key component of training and quality monitoring.
To ensure providers are delivering post-abortion counselling, MSI made it a priority across our channels, including our social franchise clinics where we upskill private providers to scale up access to safe services.
In 2015, we tested approaches to upskill and monitor independent private providers delivering safe abortion and post-abortion care. The interventions included:
- A one day training orientation for providers on post-abortion contraception, including balanced counselling, values clarification, method-specific counselling and data management
- A job aid to support a step-by-step provision process for post-abortion contraception with a focus on balanced family planning counselling
- Monthly structured supervision visits using a checklist to verify social franchise data quality, monitor post-abortion contraception uptake and ensure adequate stock.
By upskilling providers to deliver balanced, supportive counselling and providing them with the tools and support to track this provision on a regular basis, clinics involved in one intervention extended access to contraception considerably. The number of women choosing to take up contraceptive following a post-abortion care service increased from 19 to 31%.
Lesson 2: Expect high-quality counselling for 100% of women
In 2014, it was identified that the current method mix in Nepal was suboptimal, with 71% of post-abortion clients choosing to take-up either no contraception or a short-term method. Findings from Sunaulo Parivar Nepal, an implementing partner of Marie Stopes International, confirmed this too.
Sunaulo Parivar Nepal provide around 40,000 safe abortions every year. Half of the women served shared that they would like to delay their next pregnancy by at least two years. However, despite the clinics offering reliable long-acting reversible contraceptive methods (LARCs) at an affordable price, uptake of LARCs following an abortion remained low overall, with one in four women choosing to take one.
To understand how we could better serve the women who do not intend to get pregnant again soon, by increasing access to LARCs, we collaborated with Ideas42 to undertake a behavioural economics intervention. The aim was to ensure clinics offered tailored contraceptive counselling and a good method mix to all women visiting their clinics.
Following in-depth interviews with providers, we established that although providers are well-trained and well-motivated, they faced two key provider-level barriers:
- As no performance data was shared between clinics, they found it difficult to benchmark their service delivery against others
- In larger clinics, role sharing and diffusion of responsibility made it easier to assume that another colleague had provided the client with post-abortion family planning counselling.
The outcome was a lack of accountability and consistency in post-abortion contraceptive counselling. This meant women were not receiving the counselling they need to make an informed choice on onward contraception, leading to an imbalance in method mix.
To address this shortfall, we began sharing analytics between the clinics. We sent monthly posters to each clinic comparing contraceptive uptake in their clinic with other similar clinics in the network. This set the aim of providing client-centred contraceptive counselling to all safe abortion clients, to provide women with an informed choice over their onward contraceptive options.
The intervention presented a low-tech and cost-effective solution that was successful in extending access to women. Uptake of LARCs grew from 22.6% to 29.6% as providers shared that the posters helped them to shift their focus to providing consistent post-abortion contraceptive counselling to all clients and a good method mix, including both short-term methods and LARCs.
Lesson 3: Provide family planning counselling that fits your client's schedule
On our Cambodia programme, we identified that many women feel unprepared to decide on a family planning method on the same day as their safe abortion or post-abortion care services.
The 2010 DHS survey found that 81% of women of reproductive age either reported wanting to delay their next child or to have no more children, but that only 35% were using contraception. In many cases, women wished to complete the abortion process first or consult with their partners, friends and family before accessing contraception.
As our research also revealed that 90% of women owned a mobile phone, we spotted an opportunity. We decided that our post-abortion counselling should be more tailored, so began providing follow-up information regarding post-abortion contraception via voice messages, sent to the mobile phones of participants.
The mHealth phone messages provided information on contraceptive options, linking women to a Marie Stopes call centre for personalised counselling or to schedule an appointment. With 80% of the population living in rural areas, the messages enabled us to maintain contact and provide contraceptive counselling that better fitted our clients' schedules.
Participants received the first message within 1 week of using abortion services and every 2 weeks thereafter. An example message, recorded in the Khmer language, read:
Hello, this is a voice message from a Marie Stopes counsellor. I hope you are doing fine. Contraceptive methods are an effective and safe way to prevent an unplanned pregnancy. I am waiting to provide free and confidential contraceptive support to you. Press 1 if you would like me to call you back to discuss contraception. Press 2 if you are comfortable with using contraception and you do not need me to call you back this time. Press 3 if you would prefer not to receive any more messages.
The intention of the phone calls was to enable effective use of contraception by:
- Providing personalised advice from a trained counsellor at Marie Stopes International Cambodia on a range of contraceptive methods
- Increasing their opportunity to access contraception, for example, by sharing where she could access contraceptive methods near her
- Increasing motivation by reinforcing the benefits of contraception. At the participant's request, the counsellor could also discuss contraception with her husband or partner.
The impact of the trial was significant. By linking women with information and counselling through their mobile phone, Marie Stopes Cambodia increased access to women in both rural and urban areas. 4 months into the trial, 29% of women in the study reported using a LARC, versus only 9% in the control group.
In Summary
As with most family planning services, there is no silver bullet when it comes to contraceptive counselling following an abortion service. Every woman is different and it's only through knowledge of her medical eligibility, fertility plans, lifestyle choices and preferences that services can effectively advise on the most appropriate post-abortion contraceptive options.
There are, however, several approaches that can help along the way. From providing thorough training on family planning counselling, including useful job aids for safe abortion and post-abortion care providers, to delivering follow-up care and advice that fits around your client's schedule, we can work towards ensuring that every woman receiving safe abortion and post-abortion care services has access to an informed choice on her future contraceptive options.
In this article, we shared a few of the lessons we've learned through our safe abortion and post-abortion care programming at Marie Stopes International. However, it would be great to know if you've trialled any approaches to improving post-abortion contraception counselling too. If you have any questions or suggestions, please do share them in the comments below.

The consumer behaviors shaping the next generation of mobile experiences
Jun 02, 2017
Consumer expectations are higher than ever. We're no longer competing with the best experience in our respective categories. We're now competing with the best experience a consumer has ever had.
Every time a company designs a rich, useful, or new experience, it raises the bar for what consumers care about. On the flip side, if an experience is frustrating or annoying, a consumer may not give that company a second chance. Building a great user experience is a challenge, especially as we all grapple with how and when to experiment with new technologies. But rather than think about the technologies first, I find it helps to imagine the experience you'd want as a consumer, apply it to your brand, and build toward that. Here are three things consumers expect from brands: - Help me faster - Know me better - Wow me everywhere Get the full story at Think with Google

LYNN, Pa. (AP) — Pennsylvania state police say a hiker who went missing on the Appalachian Trail last weekend has been found dead at the bottom of an embankment.
Michael Kaiser's body was found around 12:30 p.m. Thursday at the bottom of a 30-foot embankment in an area known as "Bear Rocks."
Authorities say the 56-year-old Newportville man, was last heard from Oct. 12, when he used his cellphone to communicate with his brother. Kaiser was considered an expert hiker.
Authorities haven't determined if Kaiser fell or had a medical issue. But his death is not considered suspicious.

And then there was one for GoCardless.
The London-based direct debit startup recently lost one of its three founders, Matt Robinson, according to TechCrunch. Following the late 2013 departure of Tom Blomfield, this now leaves the company with only one of its original founders, CEO Hiroki Takeuchi.
In an email, Robinson told TechCrunch that he is "staying involved," claiming that he will still be on the startup's board, but he said he wants to start another company. Robinson further backed his decision by saying "the business is in great shape and blessed with deep pool of senior management, especially Hiroki."
Like Blomfield, Robinson remains a shareholder of GoCardless. TechCrunch notes that, despite the changes in leadership, the company remains in good shape financially. Since its founding in 2012, the startup has raised close to $12 million, with $7 million of that having come in a Series B round in January 2014.
Taking a look at Blomfield's movements since leaving GoCardless in 2013, TechCrunch reports that he first took a position with the dating app Grouper as its VP of Growth, only to shift again last year and become the CTO of the still-unlaunched Bank Possible (now called Starling).
The Financial Times, furthermore, reported in February that Blomfield had left Starling after a falling out with its CEO and took three other members of the senior management team with him to start a competing venture. All this is to say that it remains difficult to predict Blomfield's next move, and perhaps Robinson's, too.

Jenna walked out of the office and down the hallway to the front door of the school. She stomped outside into the cold air. She didn't have her coat on, but she did not care. The clouds cast a blanket across the sky, a white and grey, moody, gloomy blanket. The sun was a dull white glimmer that tried its best to shine through the haze.
Jenna angrily shoved her hands in her pockets. She wasn't sure where she was going. She wished she could cry, but she had run out of tears for now. Maybe I'll run away and nobody will take care of me, she thought.
She turned a corner and didn't recognize the street. She looked around and saw the mountains. Somewhere up there Grandma Sandy lived. Thin wispy fingers of clouds snaked their way down some of the slopes.
Did she want to see Grandma Sandy again? Did she really want to run away from Miss Laurie and Mr. Dan?
She ran back down the street, past the houses and streetlamps and cars. She didn't know where she was. Her heart was rat-a-tat-ing fast. She just knew she wasn't going to find her way back to school. She would be lost forever.
She ran faster. Never going to find it. Lost forever! An old man hobbled down the street, using a steel walker to keep going. Out of the corner of her eye Jenna noticed he only had one leg. She ran around him, terrified.
Oh no! She was at the end of the road.
She stopped and caught her breath. She had to lean over and put her hands on her knees. She thought she might throw up.
She stood up and looked around. Her school was across the street.
Carefully she crept through the doors and tiptoed down the hallway. She walked past the office. Peeking through the big glass window, she saw Colton sitting on a bench, twitching and scowling. She walked faster and found her room. Jenna reached for the door and walked inside. Nobody looked up. Nobody knew she had left the school.
She sat down in her desk and saw a math worksheet. An easy one, thought Jenna, with a couple of tough problems at the end, just to keep people like me happy. Jenna scribbled down her answers and smiled to herself, a very small smile she hoped nobody would notice.
Elephant ears, she thought. Parents and teachers didn't always know when kids were listening. Grandma did, but she was kind of a big kid herself. Last Saturday Grandma Sandy and Miss Laurie were whispering about how scared Mr. Dan was the first time he asked her on a date. Jenna played with her toys and listened carefully, not even looking over, trying to stay "hidden in plain sight." Grandma Sandy slyly glanced over at her and said, "Elephant ears is listening."
Jenna heard Miss Laurie in her bedroom on the phone and knew she was talking about her. She stood near the bedroom door, trying not to make any noises as she breathed. Miss Laurie's voice was loud and a little raspy sounding, not like she wanted to cry but like she wanted to get mad.
"Jenna said we hit her?" snapped Miss Laurie.
Jenna's hands curled into fists. It wasn't fair. She didn't say anything.
"I see," said Miss Laurie. "Her father said…"
Jenna peeked around the corner and saw Miss Laurie nodding her head. One of Laurie's hands was balled up into a fist too.
Jenna hid back behind the door, glad Miss Laurie did not see her.
Jenna leaned up against the wall, still listening. Miss Laurie's voice grew quiet. Jenna could barely hear.
Laurie mumbled. Jenna could make out only a few words:
"…still using."
What was meth? Jenna wondered.
Laurie kept talking. She said, "I understand, Miss Ortiz."
So, that's who she was talking to, thought Jenna.
"Hello, elephant ears," said a female voice.
Jenna wheeled around. There stood Grandma Sandy. Jenna thought she was in trouble, but Grandma Sandy had a wicked smile on her face.
"I didn't know you were here," said Jenna.
"I can see that," she said. Sandy reached out for her. Jenna took her hand, and they walked out into the front room.
"Your mother has been getting some interesting phone calls today," said Grandma Sandy. "People said some nasty things about her."
Jenna looked down at the ground. Did Grandma Sandy think she made up some awful things about Miss Laurie?
Grandma Sandy smiled and put a hand on top of her head and moved it quick, back and forth, like she was going to mess up her hair. She didn't of course. Jenna grinned.
Grandma Sandy hollered, "Laurie, Jenna and I are taking a walk down to the park."
Jenna's heart leapt. She loved the park. She ran and grabbed her coat. They opened the front door. And walked outside into a bracing cold breeze.
"It's so cold," Jenna said. "Even the polar bears are wearing jackets."
"That's pretty cold," said Grandma Sandy as they hurried out to the sidewalk.
There was something about the cold that made you want to run. They both jogged down the sidewalk. If Grandma Sandy worried about what other people thought she never showed it. Jenna ran ahead.
"Not too fast," ordered Sandy. "I'm just an old lady. I can't keep up with you."
Jenna glanced backward and slowed down, letting her catch up.
"You don't look old," said Jenna.
"Well, thank you," said Grandma Sandy. "Mostly I don't want to think old."
They walked side by side. "How do you think old?" asked Jenna.
Grandma Sandy thought about that for a moment. She said, "Some people worry all the time. They never enjoy themselves or the people around them. They go through life like they're chewing on a lemon."
"I like chewing on lemons," said Jenna with a grin.
"Yeah, but I bet you smile when you do it. Some people eat ice-cream, and they look like they are sucking on a lemon."
Jenna chuckled and said, "You're funny, Grandma Sandy."
"You're my special girl," said Sandy.
"Special girl," whispered Jenna to herself.
In spite of the gray, almost black clouds, the sky lit up. Lightning flashed. Thunder shouted its presence, first as a low rumble, and then getting louder and louder until the earth seemed to shake. "Uh oh," said Jenna.
Uh oh was right. Rain started falling—not a few scattered droplets but thick, heavy rain. Right away, they were drenched from head to toe. Grandma Sandy took Jenna's hand and they turned around. "You like to run?" asked Grandma Sandy.
"You bet!" said Jenna, shouting to be heard over the crashing rain.
They sped down the sidewalk. "You don't run like an old woman," shouted Jenna, but the rain was so loud. How could anybody else hear?
They reached the porch, and got out of the rain, laughing and catching their breath.
"I love you, Grandma Sandy," Jenna whispered. She was too shy to say it out loud. She didn't think Sandy heard her. The rain kept pouring down.
Grandma Sandy leaned over, gave her a sideways hug and said, "I love you too, Jenna."

Francisco (Frank) Lorenzo was born in New York in 1940. Lorenzo worked his way through Columbia University and graduated with a BA in economics. He went on to earn an MBA from Harvard Business School in 1963. In 1972 Lorenzo took the reins of the faltering Texas International Airways which had been losing money since 1966. By 1974, under Lorenzo's management, the company was able to break even due to significant cost-cutting initiatives. The next five years TIA's character as a company made some drastic changes as Lorenzo updated the fleet, cut costs, dropped many losing routes and added flights on stronger routes. By 1977 the company was earning $8 million, and in 1978 TIA's reported net income reached $13.2 million.
In 1980 Lorenzo restructured TIA and formed a holding company called Texas Air Corp, which was under the control of Jet Capital, which had controlled TIA in the past. Later in 1980 Texas Air created a new airline, New York Air. In 1981 TIA offered to buy Continental Airlines, and by the end of 1982 Texas Air remained the parent company but the combined companies worked under the name Continental.
Lorenzo liquidated his holdings in the airline industry after 18 years. The main architect of airline deregulation, Alfred E. Kahn said this about Lorenzo in 1990: "I don't think there is any question that he saved Continental, but his tactics obviously didn't work when he took over Eastern."

Speaking at a public event in Agartala, Deb said that the blind king Dhritarashtra would get regular updates about the battles of Kurukshetra through Sanjay, who was also nowhere near the battlefield like him and this was possible only through "technology and satellite communication".
The former RSS pracharak has completed only a month in his office since the BJP swept this erstwhile Red bastion held by the Left Front for 25 long years.
Praising Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his initiatives of Digital India, Deb said that the Modi government has made digitization a reality in India as Internet has become a part of our daily lives.
He was attending an event aimed at the digitization of the Public Distribution System (PDS) in Tripura, where he said that for India, technology is nothing new as it existed in India even in the times of Mahabharata and Sanjay.
This is not the first time that a BJP leader has come up with such unique theories about ancient India and its ways.
Earlier, Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani had compared ISRO's missiles and rockets to Lord Ram's arrows and praised the mythical god's engineering skills for building a bridge between India and Sri Lanka.
More recently, Union minister Satyapal Singh claimed that Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution of humans was "scientifically wrong" and it needs to be changed in school and college curriculum.
