Her latest book examines humanity’s 15,000-year relationship with Castor canadensis, and the beaver’s even older relationship with North American landscapes and ecosystems. This will be a fascinating presentation blending biology and history.

There will be a subtle eclipse of the moon this weekend . The event should be visible if there is no cloud cover at moon rise tonight here on the west coast.
A light shadow will be visible for two days as the penumbral event sees the moon pass through the earths shadow. There is comet activity as well this evening.
The temperature in Merritt ( 700 meters above sea level) is -7 Celsius. However there must be some warm upper level trough as freezing rain is spitting on the ground. A traveler at Starbucks said that the freeway to Hope is closed till at least 2PM this afternoon. Unconfirmed: he saw a half dozen vehicles in the ditch after having difficulty with freezing rain.
The freeways have video cams at the summit, and once again we recommend that you do not do unnecessary driving when winter conditions are in effect. The Coquihalla highway to the Okanagan was designated as a road way subject to quick on set of unfavorable conditions.
That said it is about an hour under best conditions from Hope to Merritt.

Seasonal Affective Disorder is a condition that is like what its anachronism implies SAD . A low feeling of mood contributed by less light in winter or more in summer. It is believed to be a treatable condition with full spectrum artificial lighting. The term full spectrum lighting is a marketing term and high spectrum lighting may refer to blue light boxes that filter out other colors.
“Full-spectrum” is not a technical term when applied to an electricallight bulb but rather a marketing term implying that the product emulates natural light.[1]
Products marketed as “full-spectrum” may produce light throughout the entire spectrum, but actually do not produce an even spectral distribution, and may not even differ substantially from lights not marketed as “full-spectrum”.[
Sleep time is a matter of biological clock and can be effected by less light in winter this can be addressed by numbers of disciplines including dark therapy, (sleep mask)and behaviour therapy ( don’t be in bed except for sleep and relations.)
If you feel better after spending money then there are many ways to do that but understanding that your bio-clock may be out from a differentschedule is a key to making adjustments.
