The Irish/Gaeilge word for 'solstice' is 'grianstad' which can be translated literally as 'sun stop'. Which is very nice. Directly reflecting the Latin 'Solstitium' - 'sun stopped'. (17thC sun image - BM)

Here in the south of Shetland today, the sun rose at 0907 and set at 1500 giving us 5 hours and 53 minutes of daylight. At the summer solstice we'll get nearly 19 hours of daylight. Here's 30 seconds of our #WinterSolstice day enjoying the sight and sounds of Atlantic swells at

Totally innocent sub-postmasters persecuted and prosecuted by the PO and Fujitsu on the basis of two colossal lies: Horizon computer system was reliable and it wasn't possible to centrally alter the accounts. Single, covered up document blows apart lies. @alextomo #c4news

A massive discovery in neuroscience: fMRI signals don't always match true neural activity. In ~40% of cases, signals increased where activity actually decreased. This challenges the core assumptions of tens of thousands of studies. #Neuroscience #fMRI #BrainResearch
