Polar Bear Plunges, where people take a dip in very cold bodies of water during the winter months when people aren't usually swimming outdoors, are often undertaken to benefit some type of charity, but they're also a way to ring in the new year.
This January 1 saw people diving into the Atlantic Ocean on a relatively mild day in New York, from the beaches of Coney Island in Brooklyn, and also in much colder temperatures around the US, including Minnesota and Massachusetts.
The Coney Island Polar Bear Club is a members only organization that's been taking frigid dips in the salt water since 1903.
Currently the club meets every Sunday between November and April at 1pm Eastern to frolic in the icy waves.
Although membership roles are closed at the moment, 'everyone is invited to the annual New Year's Day Coney Island Polar Bear Plunge!' according to the group's website.'
This year's event marks the 115th annual iteration of the frosty sea excursion.
Across the globe, others took icy plunges of their own everywhere from Northern Ireland, Scotland and France to the Netherlands and Germany.

Link hienalouca.com Interesting to note Looking for an investor or sponsor for a project to grow dinosaurs and relict plants. Requires the sum of investments from 400000$ to 900000$. The exact amount can not say because there are many nuances. It will be necessary to build a small laboratory with certain parameters. To all interested persons please write on an email angocman@gmail.com . It is the scientific project and I do not know whether it is possible to earn on it. The probability of success of the project is approximately 60%. That will be very interesting.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
