Fingal’s Cave, Scotland

In 1829, on 7th August, Felix Mendelssohn visited Fingal's Cave. With his friend Klingemann, Mendelssohn set out on the newly introduced paddle steamer service to sail round Mull calling at Iona and Staffa, returning down the Sound of Mull to Oban.
The question "how was Fingal's Cave formed?" is often posed. Eminent visitors have seriously asserted that it must, because of its regularity and because it points exactly at Iona, have been hollowed out of the island by hand. In fact, the answer is straightforward. Since the layer of rock made up of columns would all have been laid down at one time it follows that when the tilting occurred there would have been pressure above the present site of the cave, and a fissure would have been forced open directly below, where sea now surges in. The violent action of huge waves that would have struck the island during storms over thousands of years developed the fissure, undermining dozens of columns, to create the opening we marvel at today.

The Simple Trick Google Employees Use to Avoid Burnout That You Can Steal Right Now

DOIDAM 10/SHUTTERSTOCK Is work wearing you down? If you have trouble focusing, feel exhausted, or lack motivation in the office, it could be a  sign you’re headed for work burnout . Google engineer Chade-Meng Tan recognized the symptoms, too. Although he and his colleagues were eager to dive into their jobs, they struggled to disengage and unplug once they left the office—which threatened to cause significant health issues down the road. But these Googlers didn’t need more state-of-the-art technology to fix their problem. Instead, Tan turned to the ancient Eastern practice of mindfulness, or “the ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we’re doing, and not overly reactive or overwhelmed by what’s going on around us,” according to  Mindful.org . That’s why he launched an internal course for his fellow Googlers called Search Inside Yourself, a mindfulness program developed by leading experts in the field. After just seven weeks of meditati...

3 Ways to Put an End to Foot Pain

If your foot hurts every morning with your first steps of the day, or the first mile of your long run is crazy-painful, you might be dealing with a common (yet frustrating) condition that threatens to sideline millions of everyday walkers and athletes each year. Plantar fasciitis occurs when the band of tissue connecting your heel to your toes becomes inflamed. The pain is typically sharp and stabbing, and may decrease once you get moving throughout the day—but it comes back after periods of rest. The condition is the  most common cause  of chronic heel pain, and 11 to 15 percent of orthopedic foot complaints stem from plantar fasciitis. Robert Duggan, DPM, a foot and ankle surgeon at Orlando Health, says he can diagnose 10 patients a day suffering from the issue. “We see complaints among distance runners, athletes doing hill work, those who have been making intensity or stride changes like training on steps,” he says. You’ll typically know you’ve got plantar fasciitis, becaus...
