Prepare Now to Avoid the Effects of Seasonal Affective Disorder (source:here)

Winter is just beginning, and with it comes the winter blues, or worse, Seasonal Affective Disorder. 
The time to start prepping for those dark and gloomy cold-weather days is now.
For most of us, the fall and winter months may mean a little gloominess and a cold-weather funk that 
we'll just have to work a little harder to shake. For others though, that funk can balloon into 
Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), which is much more serious. 
Regardless of how you experience the cold weather months, here are a few tips to help you stay 
energized and in good spirits.
Blast from the past is a weekly feature at Lifehacker in which we revive old, but still relevant, 
posts for your reading and hacking pleasure. This week, with Winter starting to kick into high gear, 
we're preparing ourselves—not just for the cold, but for the gloom.

True Story: The Gimli Glider

The Gimli Glider is the nickname of an Air Canada aircraft that was involved in an unusual aviation 
incident. On July 23, 1983, Air Canada Flight 143, a Boeing 767-233 jet, ran out of fuel at an 
altitude of 41,000 feet (12,000 m) MSL, about halfway through its flight originating in Montreal to 
Edmonton. The crew were able to glide the aircraft safely to an emergency landing at Gimli 
Industrial Park Airport, a former Royal Canadian Air Force base in Gimli, Manitoba.
The subsequent investigation revealed a combination of company failures and a chain of human 
errors that defeated built-in safeguards. Fuel loading was miscalculated due to a misunderstanding 
of the recently adopted metric system which replaced the imperial system.
