Conditions » Cartilage Defects
What is a Cartilage Defects?
You might have hit your knee or elbow while playing or exercising and ignored the joint injury assuming it would heal itself. The good thing is it might heal on its own, but in some cases, you may hit your cartilage and damaged it. Ignored arthritis also causes cartilage defects. Cartilage defect usually occurs due to some trauma and may also occur due to arthritis. Cartilage damage is a common condition that can occur in patients with osteoarthritis. It often involves the knees, although joints such as the hips, ankles, and elbows can also be affected by cartilage defects.
Cartilage is a firm tissue but softer and flexible than bone. Cartilage is a connective tissue found in different areas of the body including
- Joints between bones, e.g., the elbows, knees, and ankles
- Ends of the ribs
- Between the vertebrae in the spine
- Ears and nose
- Bronchial tubes or airways
Symptoms of Cartilage defects
The diagnosis and treatment of cartilage defects are challenging. Articular cartilage injuries are common and have the potential to progress to osteoarthritis if left untreated. Symptoms of cartilage defects include:
- joint pain
- the joint locking, catching or giving way
- swelling
- stiffness
- a clicking or grinding sensation
Causes of Cartilage defects
Cartilage defects occur due to several reasons like age, pregnancy, obesity, diabetes, and birth abnormalities. These can also occur from an acute injury to the knee or an underlying disorder of the bone. Cartilage defects are different than arthritis, and treatments are significantly different as well. An isolated cartilage defect like present in ears, without any underlying bone attached to the fragment, is not commonly repairable. The cartilage is often unable to survive when detached from the bone and, therefore, must be removed, which can be done with an arthroscopic procedure. However, the exposed bone should be treated to stimulate the growth of new cartilage. If you injure your joint go to your orthopedic early before you damage your cartilage or bone.
Cartilage defects explained
The cartilage defect is quite different than muscle or bone defects because it has no nerves. You do not feel pain in any defective cartilage unless it affects the underlying bone. There are mainly three different types of cartilage present in the human body.
- Elastic cartilage is flexible cartilage and found in ears and nose
- Hyaline cartilage is smooth yet tough, with minimal flexibility that allows the joint smoothly.
- Fibrocartilage, this cartilage is robust and flexible but not smooth
Cartilage is made up of cells known as chondrocytes. When other tissues are damaged, the tissue cells can multiply themselves and heal the damaged tissue. Still, the cartilage is unable to repair itself because the chondrocytes are found in a thick, complex matrix with no supply of blood to the cells.
After losing the most of your cartilage, your underlying bones get exposed and begin to rub against each other. You start feeling the pain now after most of the damage is done. Doctors can only medicate the pain when most of the cartilage is gone. Also, some procedures are done to re-grow the cartilage, one of which is known as microfracture.
The procedure is quite delicate and needs optimum conditions to be successful. Therefore certain precautions will need to be followed after surgery to protect this area. The problem with microfracture is the growth is slow, and the developed cartilage is not as smooth as the hyaline cartilage. It is more like the fibrocartilage, just like a scared tissue. The grown cartilage is not soft, thus limiting the joint activity.
Another repair technique followed by doctors is grafting a plug of bone and cartilage and implanting it into the damaged cartilage. The problem with this procedure is your body may reject another person's tissue.
Stem cell therapy for cartilage defects
In recent years, there has been increasing interest in the utilization of biologically active cells as an alternative to surgical treatment. The new technique of regenerative medicine can heal the patient's cartilage with the stem cells.
Biological advancement has come up with stem cell therapy that can help to repair the damaged cartilage. The mesenchymal cells (MSCs) from the fat cells can develop and rebuild into cartilage and bones. Cartilage cells are taken from one part of the body and can be injected into the damaged cartilage area. It is a procedure that can decrease inflammation, slow and repair all these forms of damage from arthritis, and delay or prevent knee replacement surgery. The treatment is safe with a more substantial probability of cartilage regrowth. The adult stem cells are injected to maintain and heal tissues by replenishing damaged and dying cells.
Shifa rejuvenation for regenerative cartilage repair
Shifa rejuvenation has touched another milestone in regenerative medication by providing one of the rarely treated ailments with patients of osteoarthritis in Pakistan. Many clinical trials have shown the improvement in damaged knee cartilages within a period of 6 to 8 weeks. MSCs have been found to improve clinical symptoms such as pain, disability, and physical function in patients with cartilage defects.

French Antilles and Guiana: on the international cocaine trafficking routes
Drugs, International Challenges n° 9, OFDT, 7 p.
July 2016
2015 was marked by record cocaine seizures – close on 11 tonnes – on French territory. The scale of these seizures is largely due to the operations performed in the Caribbean zone with a high degree of French activity due to the presence of two French overseas departments, Martinique and Guadeloupe, and the collectivity of Saint-Martin. At the same time, the rise in cocaine seizures in Guiana, or originating from this territory, suggests that this French department in South America is in the process of becoming a major cocaine transit zone targeting not only France, but the Northern European market.

But as well as a first-rate musical line-up, it also offers an enchanting experience. The gardens – praised by no less an authority than Vita Sackville-West – demand to be explored. The South Downs, those most quintessentially English of hills, roll majestically in the distance. A trip to Glyndebourne is very much a complete day out. Performances tend to begin just before 5, and include a ninety-minute interval during which one can dine at a leisurely pace.
For first time visitors, it can be bewildering. This is our complete guide to enjoying one of the classical year's greatest highlights.
What to wear: Glyndebourne Style
Tired of Covent Garden's heterogeneous get-up, where dinner jackets mingle with jeans? Long to look like you're in an interwar period drama? Then Glyndebourne is the place for you. John Christie, the festival's founder, prescribed formal dress as a way to show respect to the musicians. Although you won't be thrown out for forsaking formal attire, it's still the norm.
It goes without saying, then, that black tie is de rigueur for male attendees. As to women, they have more choice – cocktail dresses are popular with younger visitors, while those slightly older often choose to wear their glitziest couture. The fashion parade, akin to that before a ball but often more eccentric, is part of the festival's joy.
The English summer is a fickle beast, and even warm days often cool down at night, so it's worth bringing a coat, wrap or other warm layer to defend against showers and gusts. For those unable to dress before arrival, changing facilities are available near the car park.
Dining at Glyndebourne: Picnics and Parties
Glyndebourne boasts three restaurants, all of which must be booked in advance. Each offers a luxurious menu, ordered as a set number of courses; in terms of price and quality, there is little difference between them. The festival also provides similarly sumptuous picnics, for which you can book furniture and a personal waiter.
But the real Glyndebourne tradition is to sit on the lawn with your own picnic basket, stuffed to the brim with the most delectable delicacies the capital can furnish. There will likely be more Fortnum's hampers on display than in the estimable shop itself. If there's no room for wine, such refreshments can be purchased at the Long Bar throughout the day.
What's on at Glyndebourne: Programme 2015
This year's programme encompasses six productions, running from late May to the end of August. Although Glyndebourne skews traditional – when asked about Philip Glass by an interviewer, former director George Christie memorably exclaimed 'over my dead body' – it does include an admirable variety, this year ranging from Handel to Britten. Two world-class orchestras – the London Philharmonic and the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment – provide the music, often supported by the superb Glyndebourne Chorus.
The festival commences on May 21st with Donizetti's rarely produced Poliuto, in what is incredibly the opera's UK premiere. A vast, heroic tale based on a play by Corneille, it centres around a tragic love triangle. Michael Fabiano and Ana Maria Martinez play the main roles. A few days later, on May 23rd, Bizet's Carmen opens, in a revival of the festival's acclaimed 2002 production. This promises to be the crowd-pleaser of the bunch, with Stephanie d'Oustrac, Carmen extraordinaire, in the main part.
Mozart has traditionally been the festival's mainstay, and recent years have seen the festival delve into some of his less performed masterworks. Die Entführung aus dem Serail (opens June 13th), written when Mozart was just 26, is a boisterous oriental comedy. Sally Matthews stars as Konstanze, a role that can claim some of the composer's most stunning songs.
On July 5th, Britten's The Rape of Lucretia arrives. Revived from a spectacularly reviewed 2013 touring production and directed by actress Fiona Shaw, this intimate and harrowing work boasts a mainly British cast, including mezzo Christine Rice as the title character. If you missed this production's first airing, this is surely one to catch.
Another highlight promises to be Handel's oratorio Saul (opens July 23rd), a nightmarish depiction of murder and madness considered by one baroque scholar to be 'one of the supreme masterpieces of dramatic art.' With one of the largest orchestras of the eighteenth century and an array of gigantic choruses, this could be revelatory. The cast – which includes bass Christopher Purves, tenor Iestyn Davies and soprano Lucy Crowe – might be the strongest in the entire festival.
Finally, from August 8th, there will be a double-bill revival of Ravel's only two operas, L'heure espagnole
and L'enfant et les sortileges, seen in the 2012 festival.
Between them, they span the whole reach of comedy, from lusty farce to whimsical fantasy. Glyndebourne favourite Danielle de Niese takes a central role in both.
Art at Glyndebourne
Contemporary art lovers will also want to catch Georg Baselitz's exhibition for the White Cube in collaboration with Glyndebourne Festival. The controversial German painter, who has made some pretty damning remarks about the failings of female artists, presents a series of new paintings of spinning turntable legs and feet that make an innovative nod to traditional self-portraiture and of course their musical surroundings. Catch Baselitz this summer in a new exhibition space designed by architectural studio Carmody Groarke.

Article Title
Review of MENC Handbook of Research on Music Learning (vols. 1 & 2), Oxford University Press, 2011, edited by Richard Colwell and Peter Webster.
Music educators and researchers regularly seek new ideas and current information about effective teaching and learning at all levels of instruction. The vast quantity of completed studies, and the time required to review, edit, and publish them, often puts readers at a disadvantage when trying to collect and organize current, relevant literature on a given topic. The MENC Handbook of Research on Music Learning provides excellent syntheses of the most recent research on multiple topics with "a laserlike focus on what is at present known about learning [italics added for emphasis] in music" (p. v).
This handbook provides a thorough, critical examination of the literature surrounding key topics in music education, suggests potential applications to music classes and rehearsals, and offers thoughtful suggestions for further studies along each line of research discussed. Researchers, professors, teachers, and graduate students will appreciate the depth of content, carefully and thoughtfully placed in current social, cultural, and educational contexts.
The book is split into two volumes: Volume 1, Strategies; and Volume 2, Applications. The first volume focuses on factors affecting readiness to learn and the learning process in general, while the second volume highlights particular applications of research in typical music learning situations. Each chapter in both volumes represents the expert work of a particular contributing author or authors on that topic. Overall, the writing style of all authors is excellent; they provide depth and breadth of information in an accessible style, and include any background information necessary to assure understanding of their work.

The uses of Nuelin SR include:Theophylline is used to prevent and treat wheezing, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing caused by asthma, chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and other lung diseases. It relaxes and opens air passages in the lungs, making it easier to breathe.
Theophylline comes as a tablet, capsule, solution, and syrup to take by mouth. It usually is taken every 6, 8, 12, or 24 hours. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take theophylline exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
Take this medication with a full glass of water on an empty stomach, at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. Do not chew or crush the extended-release (long-acting) tablets; swallow them whole. Extended-release capsules (e.g., Theo-Dur Sprinkles) may be swallowed whole or opened and the contents mixed with soft food and swallowed without chewing.
Theophylline controls symptoms of asthma and other lung diseases but does not cure them. Continue to take theophylline even if you feel well. Do not stop taking theophylline without talking to your doctor.
Theophylline is sometimes used to treat breathing problems in premature infants.

Find the Right Vacuum
If your pet leaves more hair around your house than they seem to have on their entire body, we feel you. Invest in a vacuum designed specifically to handle pet hair. Look for one that has extra attachments for removing fur from upholstery and for making it easier to get to hard-to-reach areas.
READ MORE: Best Vacuums for Pet Owners
Baking Soda to the Rescue
When you need to eliminate pet odors from your carpets and rugs, turn to our trusty cleaning pal: baking soda. It is an all-natural (and inexpensive!) odor absorber. Sprinkle the baking soda liberally on your carpet and rugs. Wait a few hours or even overnight so it has a chance to absorb the odors. Then, simply vacuum it up.
READ MORE: Clean Your Entire Home With These 12 All-Natural Baking Soda Solutions
Tend to Where They Sleep
Opt for beds that are machine washable to cut back on odors. Throw the covers or entire bed in the wash once a week or every other week so that your fur babies have a sweet-smelling bed to curl up on for naps and bedtime.

Clean ASAP
Your best bet for handling accidents is to tackle them as soon as they happen. Blot as much as possible with paper towels or a cloth and then apply a cleaning solution. For a homemade concoction, try one part vinegar to one part warm water. For store-bought, we're partial to Nature's Miracle, which uses an enzymatic formula to break down the tough stains and odors.

Playtime, Laundered
Anyone that's picked up a drool-laden ball knows cleaning toys is a must. Check your toys' tags to see if they have specific cleaning instructions, but in general:
Hard Toys: Throw them in the dishwasher or hand wash with warm water and antibacterial soap. If they're particularly grimy, pre-soak them in an equal parts vinegar/water solution.
Soft Toys: Toss whatever you can in the washing machine with baking soda. If they can't go in the washing machine, use your same vinegar/water mixture to handwash the toys. A lot of toys are tough enough to handle the dryer, but those with squeakers or other plastic pieces are better hung to dry or set out in the sun.
Set Up Your Entry for Success
Stop messes before they even enter your house. Bringing pets in from the outdoors can be a messy business — muddy paws, wet fur, oh my! This mudroom is a pet owner's dream with a complete shower for giving your pup a thorough cleaning when needed. However, most of us don't have room for a dedicated pet space. Have grooming wipes and a basket of towels by the door to wipe your furry friends down before they track anything on your floors.
An Extra Layer
Lay blankets on your sofas and chairs to help protect your upholstery and keep most of the fur under control. When guests stop by, set the blanket aside for a quick de-furring. Of course, your pup might give them the evil eye for sitting in her spot, but at least your guest walks away with fur-less pants.
Savvy Camouflage
We all find a fairly out-of-the-way space to store litter boxes. This clever solution adds an extra level of concealment when you really need to keep it out of sight. Make sure to empty the litter box every day or two to eliminate odors.
In Their Own Little Corner
Give your pets a place of their own, complete with all their essentials: bed, food and water bowls, and playthings. Not only does it provide them with a sense of comfort and security (which is really the most important aspect!), but it also helps you contain most of the mess to one area, making it easier for you to maintain a clean home.
Access Granted (or Denied)
Keep pups at bay with gates. Whether you need specific rooms to be dog-free all the time, such as the kids' playroom full of very yummy and chewable toys, or you need to be able to block certain spaces from time to time, gates keep your furry friends from making messes in every room of your home. With so many options available now, you don't have to settle for the cheap plastic versions. Find one that matches the style of your home or, as pictured, one that's installed as a pocket door to be pulled out when needed.
All the Things
Create a pet catchall where you can keep all their essentials organized. We love this cabinet that is outfitted to house food, toys, treats and even cleaning supplies. You don't have to have an entire cabinet though — clear off a shelf or designate a spot in a closet or pantry to handle all your kitty's and pup's necessities.

"The OVF package is invalid and cannot be deployed" error when deploying the OVA (2151537)
This issue occurs because the vSphere Client does not support the SHA256 hashing algorithm, which the latest VIC OVA was made of (from 1.1.1).
It also affects any OVA deployments via PowerCLI when using the Get-Ovf Configuration cmdlet.
To resolve this issue, deploy vIC via the vSphere Web Client or ESXi Embedded Host Client because both support SHA256.
However, if you still want to automate your deployments, you must convert the OVA from the Cryptographic Hash Algorithm SHA256 to SHA1.
To do this, you can use OVFTool which is available on all OS at:ô https://www.vmware.com/support/developer/ovf/
To do the conversion, run this command:
ovftool.exe –shaAlgorithm=SHA1 /path/to/the/original/ova_file.ova /path/to/the/new/ova/file-SHA1.ova
You can now use the new ova generated with SHA1 for your future deployments without experiencing any format error.

This book was originally published in 1970. Writing from the viewpoint of a geologist rather than a chemist, the author outlines the geologically important organic compounds and their reactions, as well as the fundamental analytical methods used in organic chemistry. He discusses the occurrence of organic residues in freshwater sediments and sedimentary rocks and evaluates both the importance of these residues in palaeoenvironmental and related problems and their role as biochemical fossils. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in non-marine organic geochemistry, together with anyone involved in the related areas of organic oceanography, limnology, petroleum geochemistry, coal and oil shale research and the space programme.

DESTINATION / ALASKA / Ol' Blue Ice is unplugged / Glacier bays free of cruise ships perfect for silent, solitary kayaks
2003-02-02 04:00:00 PDT Petersburg, Alaska -- What's missing from this picture? We're paddling up a misty fjord toward a creaking blue glacier, weaving our way around icebergs the color of an Arctic wolf's eyes. Ribbony waterfalls streak the steep granite walls. Nobody is watching us but bald eagles and curious, doe-eyed seals.
Here's what's missing: cruise ships. If this were Glacier Bay, we'd be sharing this Pleistocene tableaux with -- and paddling hard to stay out of the path of -- the flotilla of 80,000-ton leviathans that sails up and down the bay all summer.
But this is LeConte Glacier Bay, a miniature Glacier Bay 150 miles to the south, and the only vessels here are half a dozen sea kayaks the color of jelly beans. Too narrow for the big ships to turn around in and usually choked by icebergs, the fjord remains pristine and untouched, virtually identical to the way it looked when naturalist John Muir paddled up it in 1880.
That's what brought me here. Years ago, when friends and I spent a week kayaking around Glacier Bay, we expended considerable effort dodging the big cruise liners and breathing their fumes. At one point, we paddled up to the Reid Glacier and, as we were contemplating the view, an impossibly enormous cruise ship parked itself between us and the glacier. It was like taking a seat in a movie theater and having a woman with an eight-story-high hairdo sit in front of you.
Current National Park Service regulations allow 139 ships into Glacier Bay during the short summer season, and the park service is studying the possibility of increasing the number to 184. That's great for cruisers, but awful news for paddlers. (Virtually all the traffic heads up the bay's West Arm. Kayakers fare much better in the East, or Muir, Arm, but the famous tidewater glaciers are fewer and farther between there.)
All this is by way of explaining how I came to be strolling down the docks in the friendly little salmon-fishing town of Petersburg, Alaska, last summer, duffel in hand. Bobbing at the end of the dock was my ride -- a 1959 DeHavilland Beaver float plane. We were off to a good start: Any trip that involves a float plane is by definition a romantic adventure.
The guided trip I'd signed up for was really two trips in one: the float plane would drop us off near the mouth of Big Creek on Kupreanof Island for a few days of paddling among humpback whales, then pick us up and fly us to the head of LeConte Glacier Bay to explore icebergs and glaciers.
Few places are better suited to sea kayaking than the sheltered waters of southeast Alaska. It's been this way for quite some time. In a museum in Juneau, I once saw an Aleut Indian kayak that was more than 300 years old and realized that, except for the materials and rudder, it was identical to the ones we paddle today.
Aleuts enslaved by Russian fur traders first brought sea kayaks to these waters. "They were ideal for hunting, because you rode silently and low down in the water," said our guide, Scott Roberge. "For that same reason, they're perfect for animal-watching."
It says something about the growing popularity of the sport that everyone on our trip, from a recent high school graduate to the retired commander of a U.S. Navy destroyer, had paddled before.
After hopping out of the float plane and wading ashore like Gen. Douglas MacArthur returning to the Philippines, we found Big Creek Camp in a dripping forest of hemlock and Sitka spruce. It was so well hidden from the beach that on later excursions the only way I could find it was by looking for the enormous bald eagles' nest atop a crag at water's edge. Big walk-in tents and the communal kitchen/campfire/dining area were covered by a vast canopy of tarps strung from trees -- a godsend in ever-drizzly southeast Alaska.
Kupreanof Island, named for a Russian naval officer, lies at the confluence of three sounds -- Frederick, Stephens and Chatham. Tides surging through these channels stir up the nutrient-rich bottom, attracting humpback whales who gorge on plankton and krill each summer before migrating south to Hawaii or Mexico.
We hadn't even put our paddles in the water before we saw our first whale. We watched from the gravel beach as a 45-foot humpback flung itself out of the water again and again, landing with a colossal splash. And then, apparently tiring of these cetaceous belly flops, it floated on its back and spent 15 minutes slapping the water over and over with its 20-foot-long pectoral fins. Researchers have theories about why whales do these things, but no one knows for sure.
For a closer look, we sealed ourselves into our fiberglass kayaks -- pretty much as the Aleut seal hunters once did -- and paddled out through gentle swells toward the center of the sound. On a big rock, three otter pups basked in the sunshine, looking Disney-cute. Four 800-pound Steller sea lions announced themselves with a chorus of raspy exhalations before diving under the surface. Farther out in the sound, a pod of Pacific white-sided dolphins swam by.
A hundred yards off our bow, a geyser spouted and the back of a humpback rolled slowly under before unfurling an enormous, dripping tail. We pulled our paddles out of the water and went silent. With any luck it would surface again nearby.
Humpbacks, Scott whispered, typically stay under for four to five minutes. I checked my watch: A minute passed, then two, then three. Bubbles floated to the surface. After four minutes it began to occur to me that the whale could easily and unwittingly surface directly beneath our stealthy kayaks. But there was no point in moving: The whale could pop up anywhere. Five minutes passed, then six. Maybe the humpback had moved on.
Then, with a suddenness that made us gasp out loud, it burst to the surface 30 feet from a kayak paddled by Anne Myong, a Silicon Valley marketing manager.
It blew a big spout into the air -- a cloud of mist colored by the whale's own oil -- before arching its barnacle-covered back and sliding under the water. And then, a moment later, the black tail opened like a huge Japanese fan. Half an hour later, Anne said, her heart was still pounding.
Two days later, we were droning up Frederick Sound in the float plane, flying just beneath the low cloud ceiling, 200 feet off the water. As we neared the mouth of LeConte Glacier Bay, tiny icebergs began to appear in the channel, then bergs large enough to sink a luxury liner -- not to mention a float plane. We banked and circled sharply. The water beneath us was now peppered with icebergs. "Where the hell is he going to put this thing down?" I shouted from the back seat to no one in particular. Finally, after circling a couple more times, the pilot spotted an ice-free corridor and bounced us to a watery landing.
Camp was nearly identical to the one at Big Creek. Before we settled in, though, Scott had a chore for us. We paddled out into the bay and spent an hour rounding up floating chunks of ice, from fist- to bowling ball-sized. These tiny icebergs, remnants of bergs the size of strip malls, had broken off the face of LeConte Glacier and floated out to the mouth of the bay. Geologists believe this glacial ice was formed up on the Stikine Ice Cap 800 years ago and spent the intervening years creeping down through the mountains before returning to the sea. As we lifted the berglets out of the water, they fizzed and popped, releasing tiny pockets of air trapped around the time of the Third Crusade. It would be a while before we learned why we were gathering the ice.
At 3:45 a.m. the next morning I awoke to the crackle-boom of thunder, a racket that continued until dawn.
"That was some storm last night," I said to Scott as I unzipped my tent.
He just smiled and nodded toward the mudflats. Overnight they had been transformed into an ice-sculpture garden. Icebergs -- some looking uncannily like the carved ice swans you see at wedding buffets, others the size of small apartment buildings -- had drifted out of the fjord and been grounded here by the outgoing tide. As I watched, one the size of a garage tottered over and broke in half, with the now-familiar crackle-boom. It wasn't a thunderstorm, I finally realized, that had kept me awake.
I wasn't the first to make this mistake. John Muir, who camped here only 13 years after Alaska had been bought from the Russians, wrote that the local Stikine Indians called the fjord Hutli, or Thunder Bay, "from the sound made by the bergs in falling and rising from the front of the inflowing glacier."
It was good we were up early. We had a long day of paddling to reach the spot where the snout of LeConte Glacier tumbles into the sea. It's the southernmost glacier in the world to do so.
It was a round trip of well over 17 miles -- an exceedingly long distance for neophytes to paddle -- but we had a crucial ally: the tides. Millions of gallons of sea water would be pouring into the fjord behind us, raising the water level an inch and half every minute for six hours. And then, when it was time to turn around and head home, the water would drain back out, carrying icebergs and kayaks along with it.
LeConte Glacier Bay is a narrow, Yosemite-like canyon of sheer walls dripping with wispy ribbon waterfalls -- "bold granite headlands with their feet in the channel," as Muir described it.
Half an hour out of camp, we encountered pack ice of what looked to be Shackletonian thickness, bunched together by the incoming tide. Just when it looked like our little adventure was finished almost before it began, we discovered a channel barely wide enough for us to scoot through.
We heard a droning and turned around to see a six-passenger sightseeing skiff approaching from Petersburg. It reached the pack ice, searched in vain for an opening and headed home. We'd have the fjord entirely to ourselves.
Seals seemed to be everywhere, poking their heads out of the water to watch us with big, curious, sad eyes. Entire families lounged on flat-topped icebergs. Other bergs were the domain of bald eagles.
A little to our surprise, we were never cold -- as long as we kept paddling.
Both the water and air temperatures were about half a degree above freezing, but sealed into the kayaks like modern, tech-savvy Eskimos, we generated enough heat to stay chill-free, if not exactly toasty.
Three hours after leaving camp, we rounded a point and felt the icy breath of the glacier before we could see it. We paddled closer. Then the clouds parted and the LeConte Glacier appeared before us as if emerging from the mists of creation. Big and eerily blue, it tumbled out of the mountains in a violent, chaotic jumble. Blocks of ice the size of office buildings teetered at the edge of the 200-foot-high face, ready to topple lemming-like into the sea.
We hung back a safe distance, munching on granola bars and soaking up the scene. There was no chance of an eight-story-high cruise ship blocking our view this time.
A chill started to creep in. The tide began to turn, and that was our cue to spin the bows of our kayaks around and catch our ride home. It would be late afternoon before we paddled back to camp, but there was a victory celebration of sorts awaiting us: bottles of 2-year-old Chardonnay chilled on 800-year-old ice.
Identical versions of this trip are offered by Tongass Kayak Adventures and by Sea Trek, based in Sausalito. The only difference is that Sea Trek usually sends one of its own guides on the trips it offers. The price is the same -- $1,790, including lodging in Petersburg before and after and the float-plane flights, but not the flight to Petersburg. Plan on an extra $550-$600 for that.
Tongass Kayak Adventures, P.O. Box 2169, Petersburg, Alaska; phone, (907) 772-4600; e-mail, firstname.lastname@example.com; Web, www.tongasskayak.com. Trips in 2003 run June 30-July 8; July 6-July 14; July 9-July 17; July 30-Aug. 7; Aug. 5-Aug. 13 and Aug. 14-Aug. 22.
Sea Trek, P.O. Box 1987, Sausalito, CA 94966; (415) 488-1000; email@example.com; www.seatrekkayak.com. Trips in 2003 run Aug. 2-10 and Aug. 11-19.
Teen trip: In addition, Sea Trek runs a slightly less expensive version of the trip designed for teenagers and their parents. Parents kayak among whales while their children explore the glaciers, and vice versa. Accommodation in Petersburg is camping instead of a motel. Children must be between 13 and 16 years old. Dates are June 27-July 5. Cost is $1,380 for teens, $1,690 for adults.

For Gmail fans on the Mac—especially for those with multiple Gmail accounts—there is no better choice than Mailplane 3, to integrate the best features of Gmail with useful operating system integration that makes working on the Mac so productive. Typically, webmail services have two major shortcomings: you can only be logged into one of the same account type at a time (e.g., only one Gmail account at a time) and they are usually left out of interoperability with system-level functions such as using the OS X Contacts app, sending files from the Finder, mailing PDFs from the Print dialog box, true OS-level QuickLook functionality for previewing attachments, and accessibility to Apple Script functions. Because webmail accounts typically live inside a web page, loaded within a web browser more or less like any other page, they are isolated from the system and must be interacted with solely from within the web browser. Mailplane solves these problems and brings the power and ubiquity of Gmail to the integration with Mac OS X that non-webmail accounts, or webmail accounts loaded in to a typical Mail client (like OS X Mail, or Eudora of old, etc., or either of the other two modern mail apps I'll be shortly reviewing) have enjoyed.
If you're like many folks, you've quite possibly got a personal Gmail account or two and a work Gmail account with a custom domain. If you've been using only browser-based email, you've likely been logging into one, doing your email within that account, logging out, logging into another…lather, rinse, repeat. Wouldn't it be nice if you could fire up one app (especially an app with a snazzy icon!) and have a tabbed interface, just like a browser, but with each of your Gmail accounts and their respective calendars occupying a unique tab that you can easily switch between without any logging in or logging out, ever? That is, at the very minimum, what Mailplane can do for you. I've been using Mailplane with three Gmail accounts: one personal, one work, and one using the custom domain of my alma mater.
In my mind, one of the things (aside from massive free storage) that sets Gmail apart from the other webmail providers is a keyboard-centric user interface that really shines for power users. But the downside is not being able to keep two accounts active at once. With Mailplane, I can use keyboard shortcuts to advance between messages, apply labels to messages, archive them, and then zip over to the other accounts and do the same. The preferences also contain the ability to record your own keyboard shortcuts, providing an extra level of customization. And, because Mailplane is integrated into OS X instead of just being a browser, its icon in the dock as well as the application switcher (command-tab) shows the unread message count with a red badge, as the stock Mail app does in OS X. The unread message count also shows up as a badge on each account's tab.
Speaking of notifications, a menu bar notifier as well as integration with OS X's Notification Center are also available within the preferences of Mailplane, and those notifications can be turned on account by account, rather than universally. Use one account primarily for spam/subscriptions? Turn of the notifications and just see those messages when you choose to, not being bothered by badges and notifications.
One of Mailplane's cleverest features is the ability to edit attachments you've received (such as PDFs for signature) and then turn around and email the edited version back, with just a few mouse clicks. This can be a real workflow time saver, freeing you from first saving a file, opening it, editing it, saving it again, locating it on your hard drive, and sending it back. As with OS X's Mail.app, you can also drag and drop a file icon on the Mailplane app icon in your dock to attach a file to a new message, something that is impossible with the web client.
And if all that wasn't enough, if you never use GChat or Google Plus, you can suppress those functions, as well as block Gmail ads from showing up within the app window. It's the best of Gmail whilst cutting out the annoyances.
The same productivity tools that Mailplane providers for Gmail are also available to your Gmail calendar, which can reside in its own tab within Mailplane, again for multiple accounts if that is your need.
If you are a fan of Gmail and Google's approach to email, but wish for better integration with your Mac, Mailplane is the way to go. At only $24.95, it's a small price to pay for a huge productivity boost. I highly recommend Mailplane for power Gmail users on Mac OS X. A 15-day free trial period is offered.

EVERETT — Professional football is back in Everett in the form of the Raptors, a new addition to the Indoor Football League.
The Raptors kick off their season tonight in Kennewick against the Tri-Cities Fever, then play their home opener March 1 at Comcast Arena. But before the Raptors can bring indoor football back to town for the first time since the Hawks folded in 2007, there is one big question to answer:
Just who are these guys?
Well, if you're a big enough fan of the sport that you ventured to Kent last year to watch the Kent Predators (who were rebranded as the Seattle Timberwolves under new ownership midway through the season) then the Raptors won't be entirely unfamiliar. Head coach Sean Ponder was in Kent last year, as were several key players, including quarterback Charles McCullum, all-league receiver Andre-Piper Jordan and standout defensive end John Fields.
In all, Ponder estimates he'll have 10 to 12 players on his 25-man roster who played for him in Kent last year, as well as a handful of others he coached in his previous job with the Fairbanks Grizzles. That continuity and experience is especially valuable in a league with a high turnover rate and a very short preseason, which is why Ponder is confident the Raptors can be title contenders this season despite being technically considered an expansion team.
"A lot of teams look really good on paper, but the big thing is how well they play as a team," he said. "Is there team chemistry, are they picking up the new system? There is a lot of turnover in this league, there may be coaching changes or ownership changes, all of those things are a factor. … Our team chemistry is there. Guys respect each other and can look each other in the eye and know that they've got each other's backs. We've helped ourselves out a lot with that, now it's a matter of going out and producing."
On offense, that production will start with McCullum, who Ponder calls "probably the most mobile quarterback in the league." The Raptors will use a spread offense that gives McCullum the opportunity to run or spread the ball around to playmakers such as Piper-Jordan and 6-foot-5 receiver Lonnie Sanders, who was a standout in Ponder's offense in Fairbanks.
"Some teams are more physical running teams, some teams try to stay 50-50, we try to run a more wide-open spread offense and try to get the ball into athletes' hands," Ponder said. "… We game plan to use (McCullum's) speed and athleticism as well."
On defense — and make no mistake, defenses are at a sizeable disadvantage in this version of football — Fields is one of the league's top players according to Ponder. Another player to watch will be defensive back Cashmin Thomas, who was an all-league player with Amarillo last season.
For those who haven't watched the IFL in the past, the game looks quite different than the game played outdoors. Games are eight-on-eight, played on fields 50 yards long, and perhaps most intriguing, the field has padded boards rather than sidelines, which leads to some big hits.
"It's a lot faster," Piper-Jordan said. "The fans are right on the other side of the wall. It's fast-paced, big hits. It's real up close and personal."
Added defensive back Xavier Hicks, Jr., a former starting safety for Washington State: "It's more exciting. The fans are right there, the players go over the wall, (fans) get souvenirs because we lose a lot of balls during the game.
"It's a lot of fun."

De Montfort Students' Union (DSU) is encouraging De Montfort University (DMU) students to reduce food waste this summer – and it'll help feed Leicester's homeless population.
A food donation point has been installed in conjunction with the Midland Langar Seva Society (MLSS) and our Sikh Society on the ground floor of the Campus Centre for students to donate non-perishable food items like tinned food, pasta and soup that would otherwise go to waste.
MLSS is a non-profit organisation which provides regular food relief and clothing to the homeless and under-privileged.
After starting in Birmingham five years ago, the charity has spread across the world and provides approximately 11,000 meals a week, including upwards of 100 meals for Leicester's homeless and needy every Saturday evening at Leicester Market.
The Sikh Society have been working with MLSS since October and came to DSU with the idea of installing a food donation point in the Campus Centre.
Amandeep Dhaliwal is Shadow Officer for the Sikh Society. He said: "Homelessness is a real problem in Leicester and there are a lot of people who go hungry each night.
"This is all about helping them. Since joining up with [MLSS] we've been able to help take food around the city.
"It's great to see all of the good work that is happening, and those in need are always grateful for our help."
Amandeep (left) proposed the idea of a food donation point at DSU after talking to Rajdeep Johal from MLSS (right).
Jessica Okwuonu, VP Welfare and Community at DSU, has been working on a GoGreen campaign this year to make the students' union more sustainable, and encourage students to follow suit.
"We are trying to tackle food waste," she explained. "A lot of students have leftover food like tins and other non-perishable items that would otherwise get thrown away.
"By working with MLSS we're making sure that that food is put to good use. Will you really miss that extra tin of baked beans?!"
Food provided through the donation point will be used by MLSS to prepare warm meals which are distributed to people at Leicester Market each Saturday evening between 7pm and 8pm.
Rajdeep Johal has been a volunteer with MLSS for just over three years.
"Even the smallest donation can go a long way in regards to feeding somebody in need," he said.
"I would ask students to donate anything they can as some of the people who use our service don't know where their next meal is coming from; so any help is gratefully appreciated.
"Members of the DMU Sikh Society are very active volunteers and regularly give up their time to help serve the under-privileged.
"We actively encourage people who donate items to come to the front line and see where their donations are being used, to see the difference they are making to people's lives first hand."
You can donate non-perishable items of food on the ground floor of the Campus Centre.
You can also follow MLSS on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to find out more about the organisation's work and how you can get involved.
MLSS provide upwards of 100 meals for the city's homeless and needy every Saturday.

In February I had the chance to attend a week-long retreat at Moniack Mhor, Scotland's creative writing centre near Inverness, and I've rarely been so nervous before anything. The Monday-to-Saturday retreat is a big part of the Scottish Book Trust New Writers Awards that I won in January, but I wasn't at all sure how I'd fare, or whether I could cope with so much untrammeled writing time.Continue reading "Highland cattle and other miracles of writing at Moniack Mhor"
How Scotland could save civilization
I'm an American living in Scotland, writing books for children – about alien worlds and parallel worlds and hidden worlds so tiny we overlook them. My stories have something in common: the characters come to find they were wrong about people they thought they understood, and everyone ends up a little wiser, and more respectful of each other. Continue reading "How Scotland could save civilization"
When children don't see themselves in books
I'm a white author in a largely white Scottish village, trying along with half the writing world to become published in children's books. The question of ethnic and cultural diversity in both authorship and storyline has been very much on my mind, because as a newcomer to this industry, it's impossible not to notice – and agree with — the groundswell of feeling that children's publishing is overly white and needs to change.
So it was with tremendous interest (and discomfort) that I saw this startling infographic, Diversity in Children's Books 2015: it illustrates with painful clarity that not enough children are seeing themselves in the books they read.
The disparity is immense. While white kids (and rabbits…lucky rabbits) see themselves in abundance in children's books, the news is grim for people of color. The data shows that, in an analysis of the percentages of books depicting characters from diverse backgrounds, more than 73% of those depictions are of white children.
Kids of black, Asian, Native American and other cultures are significantly underrepresented. No one ethnic group gets a higher percentage of depictions than the 12.5% of books devoted to animals, trucks "and other non-human objects."
Diversity in Children's Books 2015
This infographic is the brilliant work of Illustrator David Huyck, Assistant Professor Sarah Park Dahlen and author/teacher Molly Beth Griffin, and you can read a blog post here by Sarah about its genesis. The infographic has taken fresh 2015 data as its foundation (publishing statistics compiled by the Cooperative Children's Book Center, School of Education, University of Wisconsin-Madison), so what you see here is the latest, hardest information — and hard it is.
What happens when children don't see themselves in books? What happens when those children are grown-ups who are aspiring writers, but who have spent years feeling in their gut that their stories aren't "the kind of thing" people read or publishers publish?
And those questions don't cover what is perhaps the gravest issue of all, for communities like my overwhelmingly white village: what happens to white kids who lose the chance, in their childhood, to put themselves inside the heads and hearts of black, Asian, Latino, Native American and mixed-race main characters?
A chance for deep, real empathy is lost – that's what happens. That's what's happening.
Even the whitest communities are becoming more diverse, and fast. Scotland's defined ethnic minority population might be just 200,000 people, but that's doubled from 100,000 people in 2001. The Scottish Book Trust has recently introduced the Saltire Bursary 2016 to encourage more aspiring authors, poets and storytellers from diverse backgrounds. I am with YA author Elizabeth Wein, a fellow Scotland resident, when she says this truly is one of the best countries in the world to be an author, given the support of organizations like SBT.
The Saltire Bursary is fantastic, and change needs to start somewhere. But when we see things like this 1968 exchange between "Peanuts" creator Charles M Schultz and the Americans who urged him to incorporate a black character into his famous strip, the mind boggles that such a badly needed diversification has been so slow in coming.
Look at this infographic, share it. Tell David, Molly and Sarah what you think of it.
And ask yourself – what does happen when children don't see enough of the real world, and the real people it contains, in the books they read and love? What can you do — in your own teaching, writing, parenting, book-reading and book-buying — to help improve and champion diversity?
Give props to the creators of this amazing infographic, please. Cheers to Sarah for posting it earlier today. Please note, David created the infographic with a Creative Commons license; but please link to Sarah if you reproduce it.

It's fitting that the first blog post is on our 5th wedding anniversary.
Emily & I were married on this farm, under an ancient cedar tree surrounded by our friends and family. It had always been our dream to live here once her parents were ready to sell. Then in the summer of 2016, with Emily on mat leave, we heard that they were ready. We packed up our Roncesvalles apartment and moved our young family of four into a 19th century farmhouse to live with an older family of two. Our kids are now playing under that same cedar tree.
Without Em's parents, Tim & Frances, this definitely wouldn't be possible. Not only have they welcomed us into their home, where their two adorable grandchildren regularly disrupt the morning tranquility, they are showing us the ropes and connecting us to the community. Dave's learning curve has been steep...new town, new tools and a new trade. How do you change oil on a tractor? How do you drive a tractor? What do you do when you get the tractor stuck? How do you avoid losing a limb while using a chainsaw? What type of bird is that? How do you say Orono and sound like a local? Where can I buy this? Are there any fritters? Through it all, they've been supportive and kind...and never once grumbled about the family of critters who have taken over the upstairs.
Not to mention the childcare help that they give! And when they're not able, my parents are ready to help. My parents also helped to design and create the signs for our market stall so that anyone seeing us for the first time would have no idea that we're complete noobs
Then there are the neighbours, who are squeezing in time whenever they can to help me get the farm operation going. No small feat with one of the buildings being completely gutted and rebuilt so we can grow mushrooms year-round.
Lastly though, we couldn't have made this trust fall into farming without our friends. It's impossible to name everyone....but know that every 'like' and comment on a Facebook post, every introduction, every enthusiastic 'yes' response when asked for a favour, and every purchase is noticed and appreciated.
Incredibly grateful to have your support in making this dream a reality,
Dave & Emily

LOS ANGELES (REUTERS) - Bubbles, a female pilot whale at SeaWorld in San Diego that was believed to have been the oldest animal of its species in a zoological park, has died, the company said.
In an online posting, SeaWorld Entertainment said Bubbles was in its early- to mid-50s and had been at the park for nearly 30 years.
"SeaWorld San Diego is saddened to announce the passing of one of the world's most beloved animals, Bubbles the pilot whale," the company said on its website (www.seaworldcares.com).
A necropsy is planned to determine the cause of death.
The company, which operates marine parks in San Diego, San Antonio, Texas, and Orlando, Florida, did not say when she died.
Pilot whales, which have rounded heads and mouthlines that curve upward to resemble a smile, are in the dolphin family and are smaller than orcas, or killer whales.
Pilots, which live in pods of 20 or 90 animals, are about as intelligent as dolphins and easily trained, according to the American Cetacean Society.
Weighing over 1,300kg and measuring 5m long, Bubbles was considered the "grande dame"of SeaWorld. It was known for its ability to jump out of the water and spin at great velocity.
SeaWorld has faced intense public scrutiny over its public display of marine animals, especially killer whales.
In March, the company said it would stop breeding killer whales in captivity, but would still put on performances with orcas at its three parks.

East Leake's Health Centre has been accredited as veteran-friendly, with staff now able to identify and treat servicemen and women who have served their country at home or abroad more effectively.
The accreditation means that staff at the health centre can assess veterans' health needs more accurately and refer them to the appropriate services, such as the NHS veterans' trauma network or the NHS veterans' mental health transition, intervention and liaison service.
Councillor Debbie Mason visited the centre to join staff, members of the patient participation group and DMRC's colonel Gareth Thomas in signing the accreditation.
She said: "It is great that the health provision in East Leake is now able to offer further specialised support to those who have served in the Armed Forces.
"It is vital that veterans are able to access the support they may need and in Rushcliffe we are committed to ensure the different aspects of support are easily available."
The nationwide scheme has been adopted by NHS England and the Royal College of GPs to meet the needs of ex-military personnel who may face additional challenges when they return to civilian life.
Dr Neil Fraser, GP in East Leake and lead for long-term conditions in Rushcliffe signed the accreditation on behalf of the health centre.
He said: "Healthcare for veterans was already a priority here in East Leake, but being accredited means we can now consider and accommodate their often unique needs more effectively.
"Changes to our internal patient system will allow us to identify ex-service personnel and also to ensure they receive care and treatment that is considerate of their time in the Armed Forces."
For more information on the scheme, email Victoria Coomber, Armed Forces community covenant development officer for Rushcliffe, Charnwood and Melton at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Indie wine shop Wolseley Wine Loft, which lies between Rugeley and Stafford at Wolseley Bridge, has been named Off-Trade Winners of Wines from Rioja's 'Drink Rioja' campaign.
The Loft, as it's affectionately known to regulars, beat stiff competition from independent wine shops across the country in a competition run by Wines from Rioja – the UK marketing arm of The Rioja Regulatory Council or Consejo Regulador de Rioja DOCa.
Shops the length and breadth of the country were challenged to celebrate all things Rioja during the month of October. Wolseley Wine Loft impressed the judges through their sheer enthusiasm for all things Rioja and efforts to spread the word among their customers.
Events run as part of the campaign included a wine tasting and talk from Ruben Quintana of Bodegas Manzanos, with the audience treated to tapas dishes which paired beautifully with the wines. The loft's Dave Eglington gave a Talk & Tasting session at the 2019 Stone Food & Drink Festival on the topic of 'A flight through Rioja'; introducing the audience to the huge diversity of wine styles produced in the region – including white and rosé.
The shop's diverse range of Rioja wines – including organic and vegan wines as well as lesser-known grape varieties like a 100% Graciano grape Rioja – also impressed, with special offers available on Rioja wines sold throughout October 2019.
In addition to being named the winner of the competition, The Loft was invited to attend a 'Rioja Recognises' awards evening at the superb Eneko Basque Restaurant in London's Covent Garden, hosted by Master of Wine Tim Atkin, in recognition its work with Rioja in 2019.

When your customers are choosing the right windows for their property, they will have an array of options with regards to window styles and designs. At Sierra we offer tilt and turn windows, sash windows, fully reversible ones, and others. But one popular style of window is the casement window, as it can easily match the design of most homes and buildings.
Amongst all the different types of windows available, the casement window stands out due to its simplicity in design and the comfort level it brings. Unlike other window designs, the casement window is easy to operate – your customers can close or open it with convenience, and it offers good ventilation as well. This comes in particularly handy when homeowners want to let some air in during the warmer months. Nowadays, it is even possible for your customers to choose to have a casement window that is more energy efficient – with proper glass, glazing and enhanced security complete with a better, sturdier and more reliable locking system.
However, if the consumer has decided to opt for a casement window system for their property, it is important that they keep some factors in mind.
As an installer, for the window to be more easily fitted, your customers can choose gaskets that are pre-applied. With a pre-applied gasket system for a casement window series, the installation time can be cut down. This is particularly helpful if your customers have a business, as the shortened installation time would be very convenient, as their operations wouldn't be affected for a long period.
At Sierra our casement window systems come in a broad array of different finishes, so they will easily fit in with your customers existing building's design. We offer up to 19 colours and finishes, ranging from crisp white to wood grain finishes like oak and rosewood. Click here to find out more.
The window's security is another important consideration for anyone. At Sierra we have your customers best interest at heart, meaning that our casement windows are equipped with the highest quality hardware and security. The Yale lock system which makes them a lot more durable and harder to break into. Find out more here.
To improve casement window energy efficiency, your customers can also choose to have it double glazed, which allows them to keep the heat in and allow less cold draughts to come inside. We are proud to offer windows rated A, B and C, depending on your customers needs. Also when windows are double glazed, consumers are improving the noise levels and insulation inside their property, as less noise from the outside can come in. Find out more about energy ratings here.
The material of the window also makes a big difference. Although windows today come in a range of materials, uPVC is becoming more popular because it has various qualities that make it better than conventional wood. For one, uPVC does not rust, warp, peel, crack, or flake, and it is also easy to maintain. And unlike wood, uPVC does not need repainting every few years. In fact, all it needs is to be wiped regularly, and it's as good as new. The lifespan of well-made uPVC casement windows from Sierra can be as long as twenty years or more.Back to News
