  • SKSP Required Clothing Equipment List
    SKI SOUTH POLE REQUIRED CLOTHING AND EQUIPMENT LIST Conditions in Antarctica change drastically throughout our season and vary depending on your location. Temperatures can reach as low as -40°F (-40°C) and as high as 23°F (-5°C) and can feel colder due to the prevailing headwind. To be prepared for all conditions, it is important to have a selection of items you can mix and match. Skiing while towing a sled generates heat and it is important to regulate your body temperature by selecting appropriate layers each day based on the conditions. Some days you will need more insulation than others, but in general a windproof outer layer and complete face protection are always necessary. On a typical day, most people will wear a thin and thick pair of leggings and a thin base layer top and a mid-layer top, and their windproof jacket and windproof pants. Some guides suggest wearing your sledging harness underneath your windproof jacket as it can make it easier to get into pockets and to vent. If it is cold, you will add the down vest on top of your windproof jacket. During breaks you will put on the down parka. It is crucial to prevent sweating, as your sweat will freeze and render your high tech clothing useless. The layering system described below will keep you safe and comfortable in all conditions - it is also the same system utilized by our Antarctic field staff. Face, hands, feet, and thighs are especially vulnerable to cold injury. Pay particular attention when choosing boots, gloves, mitts and face/head coverings.

Winge, Michigan State University ressing for the Covid 19 pandemic. The world has slowed down to a pace where we are being collectively and uniquely seen and seeing each other, which is blurring the boundaries between reality and fiction within the digital screen we are using to view the world. This is evident in the ways we peer into each other’s highly curated private spaces during video meetings, dressing for our D professional lives from the waist up; the variety of protest dress that has become symbolic uniform representations of political messaging; and the highly debated use of wearing or not wearing a mask. Still, there are respite during these turbulent times in the form of the takeover of Tik Tok with K-Pop performers donning digital filters, Cosplayers costuming for social media (rather than fan conventions); and many of us dressing in comfy knitwear for work (even if from just the waist down), which also highlight the important of dress. During this widespread social isolation and peering that the world through a digital screen, dress is the underlying story of the pandemic, from Handmaids and Black Lives Matter protesters in the streets, to Cosplayers holding costume competitions on social media, to pleas on national news programs for PPEs for health care professionals, to white pant suits paying homage to suffragettes, to the very recognizable MAGA hats versus the handknit pussyhats, to the sale of the first high-end digital garment.

Through a qualitative case study on the regulatory politics of face coverings in public space, we explore the repertoires of justification employed and mobilized by local actors to legitimate (or contest) the ban. Our aim is to go beyond an analysis anchored in the religious-secular divide and offer a more nuanced and complex understanding of the causes and implications of the controversy by discussing its relationship with secular affect, urban dynamics and historical trajectories. In particular, we discuss the notion that Islamic face-veils disturb the sense of tranquility of other urban residents and explore how the (perceived) Islamization of urban space is related to other kinds of urban disturbances such as nudity and prostitution.

By Tarek Fatah The Toronto Sun (24.10.2017) q– http://bit.ly/2iFaT9K - The slur of “racism” has been hurled at Muslims who support Quebec’s Bill 62 — the new law banning face coverings, for example the burka and niqab, when giving or receiving government services. From Ontario Liberal Premier Kathleen Wynne to Ontario Progressive Conservative Leader Patrick Brown, many white politicians and liberal media commentators have been quick to label any support of Bill 62 racist. Since I, a Muslim, support Bill 62, I guess that makes me a racist.
