Could you take on a charity's ultimate challenge to be blindfolded for up to a day to help raise much-needed funds?
However, the #Blind4Day challenge is not the only way to support Royal Blind Week, which is from February 22 to 29.
You can go doughnut daft with a Krispy Kreme fundraiser, wear outrageous eye makeup to have #AllEyesOnYou or simply take in a collection box to work.
The week is the annual fundraising campaign of Royal Blind, the Edinburgh-based charity that provides a number of services for blind and partially sighted children and adults across the country, including the Royal Blind School in the capital.
It takes £1510 to provide just one hour of Royal Blind's services and donations help ensure they can continue.
Royal Blind Week is supported by Libby Clegg, 2014 Commonwealth Games Gold Medallist, Royal Blind Ambassador and former Royal Blind School pupil.
Libby said: "Having benefited from the incredible services that Royal Blind provide, I now have the honour of being an Ambassador and ask that you take part in Royal Blind Week and help raise much needed funds.
"Our fundraising pack outlines the different ways you can get involved. I would like to thank you for your help because, without your support and generosity, Royal Blind could not continue to help blind and partially sighted people achieve their potential. Please help us make a difference."
The #Blind4Day challenge involves getting sponsored to go a lunch hour, afternoon or even a whole day blindfolded.
Davina Shiell, marketing manager for Royal Blind, said: "There are many ways for people to get involved and help raise money. Ideas range from signing up to our Krispy Kreme fundraising scheme, being sponsored to wear outrageous eye make-up for the day, displaying our self-assembly collection box in your shop or workplace, to taking on our #Blind4Day challenge.
"It is thanks to the public's support and generosity that Royal Blind can work to help blind and partially sighted people achieve their potential."

Seyfert's Sextet
Dance of Destruction
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope is witnessing a grouping of galaxies engaging in a slow dance of destruction that will last for billions of years. The galaxies are so tightly packed together that gravitational forces are beginning to rip stars from them and distort their shapes. Those same gravitational forces eventually could bring the galaxies together to form one large galaxy.
The name of this grouping, Seyfert's Sextet, implies that six galaxies are participating in the action. But only four galaxies are on the dance card. The small face-on spiral with the prominent arms [center] of gas and stars is a background galaxy almost five times farther away than the other four. Only a chance alignment makes it appear as if it is part of the group. The sixth member of the sextet isn't a galaxy at all but a long "tidal tail" of stars
[below, right] torn from one of the galaxies. The group resides 190 million light-years away in the constellation Serpens. This densely packed grouping spans just 100,000 light-years, occupying less volume than the Milky Way galaxy. Each galaxy is about 35,000 light-years wide. Three of the galaxies [the elliptical galaxy, second from top, and the two spiral galaxies at the bottom] bear the telltale marks of close interactions with each other, or perhaps with an interloper galaxy not pictured here. Their distorted shapes suggest that gravitational forces have reshaped them. The halos around the galaxies indicate that stars have been ripped away. The galaxy at bottom, center, has a 35,000 light-year-long tail of stars flowing from it. The tail may have been pulled from the galaxy about 500 million years ago.
Although part of the group, the nearly edge-on spiral galaxy at top, center, remains relatively undisturbed, except for the slight warp in its disk. Most of its stars have remained within its galactic boundaries. Unlike most other galaxy interactions observed with the Hubble telescope, this group shows no evidence of the characteristic blue regions of young star clusters, which generally arise during galaxy interactions.
The lack of star-forming clusters suggests that there is something different about Seyfert's Sextet compared with similar systems. One example is Stephan's Quintet, another congregation of interacting galaxies observed with the Hubble telescope. The difference between the two systems could be a simple one: astronomers may be seeing the sextet at the beginning of its interaction, before much has happened. This will not be the case for long, though. The galaxies in Seyfert's Sextet will continue to interact, and eventually, billions of years from now, all four may merge and form a single galaxy. Astronomers have strong evidence that many, if not most, elliptical galaxies are the result of mergers.
Astronomers named the grouping Seyfert's Sextet for astronomer Carl Seyfert, who discovered the assemblage in the late 1940s. Seyfert already suspected that one apparent member of the sextet was not a galaxy but simply a tidal tail stripped off of one of the other members.

Hello everyone. I know that you've all been eagerly anticipating news of the PlayStation Vita Plus service so I am very happy to say that I can finally spill the beans.
We here at Sony PlayStation are very happy to announce that as of 21st November, the Plus service will be extended to the PS Vita. I can also confirm that if you already have a Plus subscription for your PlayStation 3 there is no additional charge whatsoever for the PS Vita service, meaning that you still get all the great PS3 content as well as the additional Vita offers, all for the same one-off price of £39.99 a year.
Fantastic! Gravity rush and Uncharted Golden Abyss and two other games (the Americans get 5 but I don't care to be honest) at NO extra cost to current PS+ subscribers. Discounts, online storage and other improvements when the firmware hits next week.
The launch for Plus for the Vita is better for the US than it is for EU. This might come bite SCEA is the butt, in the long run.
There are two games on the US list I don't have and one I am happy that it is finally coming to the Vita store.
Damn, already have both of those games, i feel as though PS+ for Vita isn't really going to work out for me, as I own most of the games for it already.
I already have Gravity Rush and Mutant Blobs but i dont have Uncharted or Chronosphere so im not entirely annoyed by this. Good to see that they didn´t cheap out with this because they could have given us a bunch of minis instead.
PSPlus: Only for PS3 and Vita :)

Hi All,
I am testing several options to account for the direct effect of aerosols (AER_OPT). I am using UEMS V15.99.5 and I am facing two problems :
1. First, setting AER_OPT = 2 (Ruiz-Arias method) using RRTMG radiation schemes and the defaults additional options (AER_TYPE=1, AER_AOD550_OPT=1, AER_AOD550_VAL=0.12, etc.) has a small impact on the SW radiation quantities (SWDOWN, SWDDNI, SWDDIF, etc.). However, setting AER_AOD550_VAL to higher or lower values leads to identical results. In fact, SWDOWN should decrease with an increase in AOD for example, and this is not what I see…
2. Second, I am wondering how to use time varying AOD values (AER_AOD550_OPT=2) instead of constant value (AER_AOD550_OPT=1). The WRF-Solar user's guide (https://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q= ... AwtJlUU5gw) only tells that the time varying AOD should be read via auxiliary file(s) in WRF I/O API-conforming netCDF format. I would like to have more information on that specific format and where to place the(se) file(s).
Can anybody familiar with aerosols activation in UEMS help me ?
Best regards,
Aerosol effects (AER_OPT)
Questions and other topics related to UEMS 15.

Bale is too young for Real, says Pleat
Former Tottenham manager David Pleat believes Gareth Bale is too young to join La Liga giants Real Madrid.
The Welshman has been strongly linked with a move to Carlo Ancelotti's side through the close-season, who want the 23-year-old to bolster their options in order to try and regain the Spanish title.
Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas and chairman Daniel Levy have thus far maintained that they will not sell their prized asset, who scored 26 goals in all competitions for the club last season.
And Pleat feels the winger would benefit from spending another season in the Premier League.
"I think he's a little bit young to go abroad and I doubt he'd find it easy," Pleat told BBC Sport.
"Many have failed when they have moved overseas. One or two have succeeded, but not many. Most have had a difficult time.
"I think he is young to go, but he might feel that with his partner and baby, it will be a new start for him. It might be better if he stayed, continued to work and maybe next summer leave if that is his wish."
Pleat also backed Levy's stance on Bale's future and believes only a huge offer will tempt him to consider selling.
"Regardless of whether the player wants to leave, the club are in the driving seat and Tottenham have always been very firm on this," the 68-year-old continued.
"If (a club) have strong and brave leadership, which they have at Tottenham, they have to resist any formal offer that comes in, which Tottenham are determined to do.
"If something shattering like £100million is put on the table, then I think even the resistance of Daniel Levy may have to give in, but I think even supporters would understand it for that money."

Wild Wings of Oneka Hunt Club in Hugo along with many great MN Outdoor organizations will host the MN Outdoor Youth Expo for kids and families on Saturday, May 22nd, 9am -6pm & Sunday, May 23rd, 9am – 4pm.
Hugo, Minn.
Wild Wings of Oneka Hunt Club in Hugo along with many great MN Outdoor organizations will host the MN Outdoor Youth Expo for kids and families on Saturday, May 22nd, 9am -6pm & Sunday, May 23rd, 9am – 4pm.
With mornings cool and shorter days, I look forward to the pending hunting season with great anticipation. This time of year finds me going through my pre-fall regimen. I started running my dogs 3 to 4 times a week about the first of June. I try and do a mile or two. This gets myself and the dogs in shape for hunting season. As September draws near, I start doing some bird work...even the old dogs need a refresher...shooting a few pigeons and then using some game birds. It is easy to get birds from a local shooting preserve that is open-to-public. In addition, they usually have a place you can run your dog. Contact the Department of Natural Resources to get a list of these types of preserves in our state.
Two years ago, we had a really warm opener and I'm sure you heard the reports about many dogs dying in the Dakotas from overheating. Take some time to get your dog in shape and you could avoid a tragedy like this. If you don't have time to work the dog yourself get a hold of a trainer or call a reputable dog handler or friend and get your hunting partner in shape. It's a worthy investment.
With the pre-season in mind I always do an equipment check; dog collars with the proper identification, non toxic shot (because you just never know where you will end up), dog food carrier, water dish and 5 gallon water container, dog first aid kit(which includes: E.M.P skin toughened and glue suture, suture kit, disinfectant, some horse bandages, flea, and tick spray, bute, or aspirin, etc). I get all my clothing gathered and ready for any kind of weather; blaze orange for bird hunting and camo for waterfowl. I keep my clothing for different types of hunting in plastic tubs with lids and labeled them. These makes it easy for the next season, as all I have to do is get the tub and check its contents. I am ready to go! You can only haul so much gear, but if you plan for the unexpected you shouldn't't have emergencies you can't handle. Also, make sure you coordinate with you hunting buddies. If one person is taking an extra gun, maybe you don't need to. If one of the party is taking a 5 gallon water jug, maybe you don't need two! A lot of the excitement and the build of anticipation of a hunt is in the planning and getting ready to go! Don't miss out on this part of the tradition! See you in the fields this fall!
Yours for better hunting and Shooting,
Wild Wings of Oneka, Hugo, MN
