Karl Lagerfeld, the most outspoken man in fashion, has launched a verbal attack on anyone and everyone who's had plastic surgery in an attempt to stop the clock and slow down the ageing process.
The 80-year-old creative director of French fashion house Chanel claimed people who have gone under the knife, "look like they've been in a car crash". Ouch!
"Nothing makes you look older than attempting to look young," Karl - who's previously dubbed Pippa Middleton "ugly", called Adele fat and Lana del Ray "fake" - told German news website Zeit Online.
And in case you were wondering what Karl's least favourite cosmetic procedure is, it's the ol' lip fillers.
"The worst are the lip operations," he said. "They look like they flew through the windscreen during a car accident and were patched up badly afterwards."
Not only does he possess a particular distaste for those attempting to look younger than they actually are, he doesn't really like the "older" generation much at all and he'd rather hang out with those at least 50 years his junior.
"I don't know anyone from my generation. I find those people terrible," he said. And you just have to take a quick glance at Instagram to see this fashion guru is totally true to his word. Rather than kicking back with his fellow over 80s' he's regularly seen chillin' with 29-year-old singer Lily Allen, 24-year-old actress Kristen Stewart - who stars in his latest campaign for Chanel - and 21-year-old model of the moment Cara Delevingne.
But even Cara - who lead the way in his latest runway show in Paris - isn't free from Karl's criticism.
In an interview with The Guardian last month, he revealed that he did not consider the bushy-browed Brit to be "a standout beauty", but just a model with "strange" proportions.
Thankfully, we doubt we'll ever be on the receiving end of Karl's sharp tongue, although these celebs could take note from Karl's words...

Cocaine found stuffed in pumpkins at Montreal airport
As Halloween approached, border officials found pumpkins in a passenger’s luggage at Montreal airport stuffed with what is believed to be cocaine.
Share via Email
MONTREAL—Border officials have stumbled upon a different kind of Halloween surprise inside some pumpkins this year.
The pumpkins were in a passenger’s luggage at the Montreal airport. And they were stuffed with approximately two kilograms of what is believed to be cocaine.
The Canada Border Services Agency says a woman was arrested today with three pumpkins in her luggage at Montreal’s Trudeau International Airport.
Scanning equipment had detected masses inside the pumpkins. Those masses turned out to be bags filled with the chalky substance.
The RCMP have taken over the investigation.
A CBSA spokeswoman wasn’t able to say where the passenger was coming from or whether she was a Canadian citizen.
The CBSA says that since the beginning of 2013, Montreal’s airport has had 173 drug seizures. Ten of those involved cocaine — with roughly 44 kilos seized.

About the Instructors
Karla Brestle, DVM
Instructor — Veterinary Student Extern Program
Dr. Karla Brestle received a Bachelor of Science degree in Emergency Medical Care from Western Carolina University in 1987 and graduated from North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine in 1993. Following graduation, she spent 3 years in a mixed animal practice in rural NC and developed an interest in shelter medicine which led her to a position as shelter veterinarian for 2 years in central NC.
Dr. Brestle joined Humane Alliance in Asheville, NC in 1998. The mission of Humane Alliance is to provide high quality, high volume, targeted, affordable spay/neuter services as the non-lethal solution for homeless, abandoned, and feral companion animals. Dr. Brestle works for the day that euthanasia is no longer a method of animal control, and believes that pursuing that through the mission of Humane Alliance is, in some small way, her contribution to that end.
While with Humane Alliance she has been the clinic medical director, the medical director of the NSNRT (National Spay/Neuter Response Team), a program developed to teach others to duplicate the HA model and currently is an instructor for the veterinary student extern program. She initiated the spay-neuter summit of 22 veterinarians culminating in the veterinary medical care guidelines for spay-neuter program published in JAVMA in 2008 and is on the steering committee to complete an update of those guidelines.

Having written a research paper on pet overpopulation and spay-neuter in 8th grade, she was destined to work for increased access to spay-neuter. In 1997, Dr. Wilford cofounded a free feline spay-neuter clinic, The Feral Cat Spay/Neuter Project, in the Seattle area. Focusing on feral cats at the beginning, she quickly realized that all free-roaming cats whether feral, tame or in-between must be part of any effort to address feral cat populations. The clinic started as a MASH style clinic admitting 100-150 cats on one day per month. Due to the huge void of accessible spay-neuter for free-roaming cats, the clinic moved to a freestanding clinic in 2003, and a larger clinic in 2007. The organization now provides almost 10,000 spay-neuter surgeries per year, surpassing 75,000 total surgeries in 2013. The FCSNP launched a Clinic Model website in 2007 to mentor organizations worldwide to increase access to spay-neuter.
Amidst all the volunteer work, Dr. Wilford practiced in a six-doctor, feline-exclusive, high acuity hospital in the Seattle area for 17 years. Her current passion is to align with like-minded people focusing on solutions so that all cats and dogs will enjoy better lives.

Marketing is a way to inform current or potential customers about a companys existence, products and/or services, by means of marketing a company can maintain their current customer base. Most companies have a target market and therefore they need to run campaigns focused on their clientele to maintain and capture new business. One of the best ways to do this for a company to presence itself in front of its clients and potential clients as much as possible, the campaign should be subtle and effective.
Marketing with promotional insulated travel mugs is a great way to achieve everything in the last paragraph. Everyone has to drink and most people use a cup or mug, knowing this, companies can take advantage of this opportunity and offer their logo travel mugs to customers and therefore remaining in the customers presence every day multiple times throughout the day. Personalized insulated mugs usually go from the customers kitchen to their car and into their work place where all of their co-workers and colleagues are exposed to the mug with a company logo.
Two factors are crucial in marketing with travel mugs; one is that the mug itself must be of high quality and attractive yet functional (to get daily use), two is that the logo on these mugs must have impact to draw attention yet not overwhelming. When applying a logo to a travel mug one may use a logo one side or two sides, typically two-sided logos call more attention because the logo is always visible. Mug color combination along with the logo design and its colors are crucial to the marketing impact and the daily use which puts the company in front of an audience every day.
A nice option to the travel mugs are custom stainless steel tumblers which have the same impact and utility of the mugs although the design is slightly different, as they are slightly taller and dont have a handle. Both mugs and tumblers are insulated and serve to hold hot and cold beverages thus maintaining their temperatures for long periods of time. As a marketing tool the mugs and tumbles are a great tool for any company because they are a practical item as a promotional gift or a product for sale. If a company wants to stay in front of an audience all day long every day promotional stainless steel tumblers and insulated travel mugs are the best option available.

Each time I watch this movie, two things come to mind. First of all, I was dumbfounded when I learned that this movie was made in 1983. Movies such as Amityville 3-D, Jaws 3-D, Psycho 2 and The House on Sorority Row represent this year better, in my opinion. Christine is a visionary film. It is in advance for its time and its special effects are astonishing. The scenes where Christine rebuilds herself after being beaten are pure genius. It is easy to notice that they are demolition scenes filmed backwards but the camera angles used confuse us.
Other films such as Jeepers Creepers, Joy Ride and The Hitcher have used a vehicle as method of terror. They are succeeded but each time it was because the producer knew what challenges he had to overcome. Other than the themes usually exploited, it is hard to find anything scary about cars. Christine is one of those films who succeeds amazingly well.
The only music emitted by the AM radio of the vehicle comes straight from the fifties. The atmosphere only becomes more psychotic. The rock and roll songs used almost give the impression that Christine is trying to fool herself into thinking that the murders she is currently committing are normal: she tries to avoid feeling remorseful. Then, as soon as a murder has been committed, the radio shuts off.
The actors give life to such an interesting story in which we are constantly projected into the skin of a different character. At a certain point, we don’t know to take for. We sympathized with Arnie at the beginning when gang members menaced him at knifepoint. However, when he starts mistreating his girlfriend, she becomes our protégée. Then, his girlfriend mounts a ridicule jealousy fit against Christine, making Christine the victim. Christine gets revenge and becomes evil, once again. Then, she is demolished by gang members, forcing us to feel sorry for Arnie once more.
Finally, Arnie pursues those who attacked his car and gives them what they deserve and brags to his best friend. His best friend tries to bring Arnie back to reality but he doesn’t want to understand anything and laughs at him: once again, Arnie is despised. It is an interesting concept that is rarely used. Here, it works perfectly.

6 Ways Social Wellness Connects to Mental Health in Your Community
In today’s fast-paced and digitally-focused world, it is more important than ever to prioritize social wellness within our communities. Social wellness refers to the quality of relationships and connections we have with others, and it plays a significant role in our mental health. Building strong social connections and promoting social wellness can lead to a happier, more fulfilling life for individuals and communities alike. In this article, we will explore six ways social wellness connects to mental health in your community, highlighting the importance of fostering positive social environments.
1. Reducing Isolation and Loneliness
Isolation and loneliness can have a profoundly negative impact on mental health, especially among vulnerable populations such as the elderly or individuals dealing with mental illnesses. By promoting social wellness, communities can work to reduce these feelings of isolation and loneliness, leading to improved mental health outcomes. Social activities, support groups, and community events can all be powerful tools in combating isolation and fostering a sense of connection among community members.
2. Enhancing Emotional Wellbeing
Strong social connections and a sense of belonging are essential components of emotional wellbeing. When individuals feel connected and supported within their community, they are better equipped to handle stress, manage emotions, and navigate challenging life circumstances. Research has shown that individuals with strong social ties tend to have lower rates of depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders. By prioritizing social wellness and creating opportunities for individuals to build and maintain meaningful relationships, communities can significantly enhance the emotional wellbeing of their residents.
3. Improving Self-Esteem and Self-Worth
Positive social interactions can contribute to a sense of self-esteem and self-worth. When individuals feel accepted and valued by others in their community, they are more likely to have a positive self-image and higher levels of self-confidence. Conversely, a lack of social support or negative social experiences can impact self-esteem negatively and lead to feelings of inadequacy or self-doubt. By nurturing an inclusive and supportive social environment, communities can help boost residents’ self-esteem and foster a healthier sense of self-worth.
4. Building Resilience
Resilience refers to the ability to bounce back from adversity or stress and adapt well to challenging circumstances. Social support is a significant factor in building resilience, as it provides individuals with a network of trusted individuals who can offer support, guidance, and encouragement during difficult times. By encouraging social connections and fostering a sense of community, residents can develop resilience and better cope with life’s ups and downs. Community-based support groups, mentoring programs, or volunteer opportunities are excellent ways to promote resilience and social wellness within your community.
5. Encouraging Healthy Coping Mechanisms
Maintaining good mental health often involves adopting healthy coping mechanisms to manage stress and negative emotions. Unfortunately, some individuals turn to unhealthy coping strategies such as substance abuse or self-isolation when faced with difficulties. By promoting social wellness and providing resources for healthy coping mechanisms, communities can help individuals develop effective stress-management techniques and improve their overall mental health. Encouraging activities like exercise, art therapy, mindfulness, or group therapy can all contribute to healthier coping strategies and social connection.
6. Creating a Sense of Belonging
A sense of belonging is a fundamental human need that plays a crucial role in mental health. When individuals feel that they belong to a community and are accepted by their peers, they experience a greater level of overall well-being. In contrast, feeling excluded or disconnected can lead to feelings of alienation, depression, and anxiety. Building social connections and fostering a sense of belonging is essential for creating a supportive and inclusive community environment. Community events, local clubs or organizations, and efforts to increase community involvement can all contribute to a greater sense of belonging among residents.
In conclusion, social wellness and mental health are intricately connected in our communities. By prioritizing social connections, fostering a sense of belonging, and supporting one another, we can create a more mentally healthy and resilient community. By understanding the profound impact social wellness has on mental health, we can work towards building communities that promote positive relationships, reduce isolation, and enhance emotional wellbeing. So, let’s join hands and strive towards a society where social connections thrive, and mental health flourishes.

Henley residents are to be given a warm welcome back to its library on Monday 12 April.
Oxfordshire County Council have announced the opening of their libraries. Lesli Good, Interim Assistant Director for Cultural Services, said: “Our libraries and registration staff have missed serving the Oxfordshire public in person and being the heartbeat of their communities. It’s a moment we have been anticipating hugely for many weeks and now it is very close.
“Our excitement is being blended with a safety-first approach. Each building is different and they are all being fully assessed to make sure they are as safe as they can be.
“We will keep everyone up to date on our website and through social media whenever a new re-opening is due and also on the safety arrangements that have been put in place.”
As a result of the safety precautions required, library opening hours are also temporarily limited. Visitors are advised to check times on the library pages of the county council’s website.
Since the November lockdown, all loans have been extended on a rolling basis. This will end on 10 May, at which point all loans will be due for return or renewal. You can safely return items by dropping them off in the returns boxes at the doors of any library during opening hours.
No library customers will be penalised as a result of having to self-isolate or being unable to travel to return library loans. If there are exceptional circumstances that prevent you from returning or renewing your loans, please contact your nearest open library.

[cnn-photo-caption image= http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2008/images/10/10/art.palin03.gi.jpg caption="Report: Palin ‘abused her power’"] ANCHORAGE, Alaska (CNN) - Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin abused her power as Alaska's governor and a violated state ethics law by trying to get her ex-brother-in-law fired from the state police, a state investigator's report concluded Friday.
"Governor Palin knowingly permitted a situation to continue where impermissible pressure was placed on several subordinates in order to advance a personal agenda," the report states.
Public Safety Commissioner Walt Monegan's refusal to fire State Trooper Mike Wooten from the state police force was "likely a contributing factor" to Monegan's July dismissal, but Palin had the authority as governor to sack him, the report by former Anchorage prosecutor Stephen Branchflower states. However, it states that her efforts to get Wooten fired broke a state ethics law that bars public officials from pursuing personal interest through official action.
Monegan has said he was fired in July after refusing pressure to sack Wooten, who had gone through an acrimonious divorce and custody battle with Palin's sister. Palin and her husband, Todd, have consistently denied any wrongdoing, describing Wooten as a "rogue trooper" who had threatened their family - allegations Branchflower discounted.
"I conclude that such claims of fear were not bona fide and were offered to provide cover for the Palins' real motivation: to get Trooper Wooten fired for personal family reasons," Branchflower wrote.
So she successfully graduated from the Dick Cheney school of power abuse. Wake up America, doesn't this abuse ring a bell? Can't wait to see the Republican spin on this one!
so, she's unethical, glad we cleared that up, but i'm curious what the other investigation will say. You know the investigation done by members who were hand picked under gov palin.
Remember everyone she is closely linked to- and sleeps with(Todd)- the Secessionist group ~ Alaska Independence Party.
How can you tell a pitbull's lying?
You can see her lipstick move!
I am an independent voter, and anybody who is an independent voter needs to look at this very seriously. This is not something to take lightly. This is very scary. Speaking about Obama, his ties to people who he has a limited relationship with is not that important, is it? All week long we have been hearing about "We don't know Obama" or "he is untrustworthy", kinda makes you think real hard on which campaign is really trustworthy.
The GOP will try to make is seem the Democrats are somehow responsible for this. Which of course is not true due to to he fact that the board was a mixture of Dems and GOPs with the majority of the board being GOP's whom Gov Palin appointed herself.
McCain supporters, think long and hard about this. You have your reasons for supporting McCain and Palin, and I respect that but look at what has happened this week as well as the report that was just completed on Gov. Palin. This is not about you being a Republican, this is about you being an American, an American that will put its country first. The Democrats are not perfect either, but this is not Dems vs GOP, this is about what is best for our country.
Iirrelevant! A leftist controlled panel comes up with a nonsensical conclusion!
The Democrats clearly support the Tasering of 10 year old children!
I'm sure they will find a way to spin this, but it was a group with a Republican majority that read through the report and came out with this finding. A group that refused to be strong-armed by the current administration of Bush and Cheney to suppress it. Cindy McCain claimed that Senator Obama's campaign was the dirtiest ever–no, it's the McCain campaign that has been flinging the dirt. We have had eight years of suppression and bungling. Enough is enough. We need a fresh change and that will only come from Senator Obama. Senator McCain is actually getting pretty scary these days and his campaign seems to be bent on stirring up hatred. ENOUGH!
SO SHE IS JUST LIKE MCGREEDY.
PERHAPS THAT IS WHY HE PICKED HER.
THEY CAN KEEP VIOLATING TOGETHER,
BUT NOT NOW & NOT HERE.
WE HAVE BEEN VIOLATED ENOUGH BY BUSH & MCBUSH.
The think Maverick just got her little finger pulled – SHE STINKS!!!!!
Final Nail, the American people are done.
Enough is in fact, enough.
She is such a DOPE!
I can't wait to see how Fox News spins this!!!
The real story is that her husband was the locus of power during her governorship.
This only tells us what the majority of us have already concluded about the shallowness and hypocricy of this woman.
But the bigger lesson in this is what it confirms about McCain. How can he possibly defend his choice of Palin as having been fully and intelligently vetted and focused on putting the country first? If one could not do it before, one can see right through him now!
Just WHO is Sarah Palin?
This headline is a lie.. Palin did violate an ethics statute – she broke the law!
Palin is worse than a pig with lipstick..she's a Bush and a Cheney rolled into one with lipstick.
Oh Alaska came to their senses and determined that she violated an ethics code, hopefully now they will do something about it.
Wow... how funny for this to be spilled right before the elections. I hope the GOP has an offensive to this, because this certainly defeats their purpose of smashing Obama in their rallies.
Guess that Pastor Muthee missed a couple key points in his prayers for Sara....what a crappy witch doctor!
Abuse of power, without breaking any real laws. Sounds an awful lot like Darth Cheney. No wonder she spends all her time dogging Obama instead of talking about the issues. I wonder how McCain is feeling about his trigger pick of a VP tonight. ;-(
Abuse of Power; Inciting Crowds; Promoting Hatred; Spewing Lies!
PLEASE Wake-Up America, before this great wonderful land of ours is taken backwards 70+ years.
Impeachement must procced immediately.
ACORN: Weez wants Frobama to win.
This is no surprise. I hope that this wakes up the McCain-Palin supporters. We cannot go through having a leader who abuses their power again. Please vote for change.

Council records radio camp spot for sponsorships
As numerous businesses lay off employees or close their doors, the Council's outreach continues to increase as local families and individuals seek assistance.
To help combat this challenge, the Council is trying to keep its name in front of the public's eyes to remind everyone that the Society is here to help improve the quality of life for the hurting, and that assistance is needed to help meet the needs.
One of the Council's current needs is for businesses, organizations and individuals to help sponsor children, ages 7-13, to summer camp, as some valuable sponsors are disappearing due to the economic downturn. This is a major concern for the Council's Camp Department and the children it serves.
To help offset this problem, yesterday three young campers and Ray Lopez, Circle V Ranch Camp Director, recorded a spot at 710AM ESPN Radio to encourage the public to help sponsor boys and girls to camp this year. The Council's goal is for the public to help offset the cost by donating $150 (tax-deductible) of the $300 total fee per child, per camp session. There are eight one-week sessions, and the Society hopes to host 1,200 children from throughout Southern California at Circle V Ranch, which is located near beautiful Santa Barbara, CA.
The radio spot should begin airing soon. If you can help sponsor a child to camp, please call the Council's Camp Department at 323-224-6213, or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.org.

Jennifer Yerke, MD ’12 a native of Hamburg, N.Y., has known since medical school that she wanted to stay and practice in Western New York. Now, as a first-year resident in family medicine, she is more sure than ever.
“Growing up in the area, I’ve always loved it. I’ve never really gone far away because my family and friends are here.”
When deciding where in the area she wants to practice, Yerke says she has received a lot of help from the UB Family Medicine Training Program, which gives residents exposure to different practice settings.
She also has been influenced by strong mentors, including a family medicine practitioner in rural Arcade, N.Y.
“I just loved working with him,” she says. “He embodied all that I hope to be when I am practicing. He knew all his patients: when he walked in the room, he didn’t have to look at their charts. He knew about their lives and their families, and when he went to the local supermarket, he would see them there.”
Yerke adds that her decision about where to practice also depends on her learning the business side of medicine. “A lot of people go into well-established practices to learn how things are run in the real world before feeling comfortable enough to go on their own or join a small clinic.”
In the years ahead, Yerke sees herself being in a rural or suburban practice
“I feel there’s such a need locally. I want to help people I see every day – the people who make a community a community.”

It’s been a tough few months of trading for investors, but not many names have been worse than Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:TSLA). Investors have been willing to overlook Model 3 production concerns in hopes that management would sort out the issue. After all, Elon Musk & Co. always have, so why wouldn’t they now? But that hope seems to be fading, as Tesla stock continues to crash.
Shares may have ended last week with a slight jolt to $266, but they’re still down notably. TSLA stock has fallen 19% over the past five trading sessions and more than 26% over the last month. From its highs, Tesla stock is down almost 37%.
Tesla Stock Has Fallen Like This Before
It’s been a rough ride and unless the company can convince investors that things are looking better than they actually are, it’s going to be tough to get its stock to rebound.
So why then did we write a headline questioning whether a 93% rally is in the cards?
Simply because of the last time we saw this type of action, back in January and February of 2016. If TSLA were to post a similar rebound on a percent basis, it would take shares to almost $500. Back then there were all sorts of negative headlines hitting the wires: Analysts were cutting their targets and/or downgrading the stock as fears began to grow about Model X production and demand. Worries over low oil prices and competition were also at play.
Falling oil prices might not be in the cards right now, but many other concerns certainly are.
Trading Tesla Stock
On the chart below, we circled the height of 2016’s concerns in purple. It shows TSLA stock entering 2016 and essentially plummeting over the next six weeks. However, shares soon reversed higher and formed what we call a “V-bottom.” This occurs when a stock goes on a precipitous decline before quickly forming a bottom and violently rocketing higher.
Can Tesla stock do it again?
For bulls, that’s the hope, while bears hope this fall is just the beginning. Once support gave out (orange line), it plunged Tesla stock into “no man’s land.” Unless $250 is indeed the low for TSLA shares — so far, today’s trading indicates that it’s not — could be heading to $200 to $210. That level (blue line) was channel resistance for several years before Tesla broke out over this level in 2017.
So how do we play it? Aggressive bulls can take a shot on Tesla stock and use the recent low as their stop-loss. If that’s their play, I would target a rebound back toward previous support (orange line).
Bears have a play too. They can sell Tesla stock short now that the recent low near $250 has given way. Below that and TSLA stock can easily continue falling.
Unfortunately, we’ll need to keep a pulse on the broader market too. Tesla stock has not fared well while the PowerShares QQQ Trust, Series 1 (ETF) (NASDAQ:QQQ) has been under pressure. Obviously leading that decline has been Facebook, Inc. (NASDAQ:FB). So while social media and electric cars may have little to do with each other in the real world, they have plenty of connections — at least right now — in the stock market.
The Bottom Line on TSLA Stock
While the company did churn out impressive operating cash flow (OCF) last quarter — a huge plus! — it’s struggling to increase production of its Model 3 sedan it’s also struggling to reduce its free-cash flow deficit. Because the company is carrying more than $11 billion in debt, it needs better FCF. Why? So Tesla can fund production of the Model 3 as well as take on other initiatives without worrying about its cash balance or worsening its debt situation.
Reports suggests Tesla still isn’t producing the 2,500 Model 3 units per week management was aiming for by the end of Q1. It would be an “incredible goal” should Tesla hit that mark, according to a leaked email.
The pressure is on as shorts pile into the name and Tesla’s bond prices have begun to erode. If the automaker can’t scale its production fast enough, it will need more cash and it will likely have to tap the equity market rather than the bond market. That would put even more pressure on Tesla stock.

I know there are many people that would love to learn how to disinfect blankets without washing them, just like we have users asking how to wash dog blankets without a washing machine. If you are in this category, this Pawsitive Guide is for you.
Blankets, especially dog blankets are one of the most important household items that provide warmth and comfort. They come in various materials, including wool, cotton, fleece, and others. However, like any other item, blankets need to be cleaned and disinfected regularly to keep them free from germs, bacteria, and viruses.
Washing is the most common way to clean both human and dog blankets, but what if you don’t have access to a washing machine or don’t want to wash your blankets too often? In this article, we will discuss how to disinfect blankets without washing them.
Why is it important to disinfect dog blankets?
Blankets are used to provide warmth and comfort, but they can also harbor germs, bacteria, and viruses that can cause illness for our dogs. Sharing blankets with others, sleeping with pets, or simply being exposed to the environment can cause a buildup of bacteria and germs on the surface of blankets. So, regular cleaning and disinfection can help prevent the spread of illness and keep your blankets fresh and hygienic.
We also have an interesting guide on How to Replace a zipper on a dog bed that you might also find interesting.
How can you disinfect blankets without washing?
Now that you’ve understand why it is necessary to disinfect blankets, it’s time to learn how you can actually do it without washing.
Use a disinfectant spray
Disinfectant sprays are a great way to quickly clean and disinfect blankets without the need for washing. Choose a disinfectant spray that is safe for use on fabric and follow the instructions carefully.
To use, spray the disinfectant evenly over the surface of the blanket, paying extra attention to areas that come into contact with skin. Let the disinfectant sit for a few minutes before wiping off any excess with a clean cloth. You can also leave the disinfectant to dry naturally.
Steam cleaning is also an effective way to disinfect blankets without washing them. You can use a steam cleaner or a garment steamer to kill bacteria and germs on the surface of the blanket. Hold the steamer a few inches away from the blanket and run it over the surface, paying extra attention to areas that come into contact with skin. Make sure you cover the entire surface of the blanket, including the edges and corners. Once you have steamed the blanket, let it dry completely before using it again.
Baking soda is a natural disinfectant that can be used to clean and disinfect blankets without washing them. Sprinkle baking soda over the surface of the blanket and let it sit for a few hours. Baking soda will absorb any odors and kill bacteria and germs on the surface of the blanket. Once you have let it sit for a few hours, shake the blanket to remove any excess baking soda, and then vacuum it to remove any remaining residue.
UV-C light is a powerful disinfectant that can kill bacteria and germs on the surface of blankets. You can use a UV-C light wand or a UV-C light box to disinfect your blankets without washing them. Simply place the blanket inside the box or run the wand over the surface of the blanket, making sure you cover the entire surface. UV-C light is effective in killing bacteria and germs within a few minutes. However, be careful not to overexpose your skin or eyes to the UV-C light.
Freezing is a simple and effective way to kill bacteria and germs on the surface of blankets. Simply place the blanket in a sealed plastic bag and put it in the freezer for a few hours. The low temperature will kill any bacteria and germs on the surface of the blanket. Once you have taken it out of the freezer, let the blanket come back to room temperature before using it.

Now that we’ve answered the question, “How to disinfect blankets without washing”, it is important to note that disinfecting blankets is not a substitute for washing them. Washing your blankets regularly is still the best way to remove dirt, sweat, and other contaminants that accumulate on the surface of the fabric. However, disinfecting blankets between washings can help keep them fresh and hygienic.


Climate change and human security are inextricably connected. The ever-increasing frequency and catastrophic nature of climate crises—including wildfires, rising temperatures, and floods—act as a "risk multiplier" for human conflict in the context of existing socioeconomic and political stressors. These compounded threats have serious population health consequences, necessitating resilient political, economic, and health-care systems.
The global surgery community should be at the head of this drive to address climate change and its associated implications for international human security.
Climate Change as a "Risk Multiplier"
As the climate crisis worsens, societies see greater numbers of displaced peoples, an exacerbation of existing socioeconomic inequalities, and increasing geopolitical instability. The UN Security Council formally recognized this link in a report published earlier this year, acknowledging that failure to address instability related to climate change would render the council "out of touch with fundamental threats to international peace and security."
It is easy to appreciate that a community already on the brink of conflict can be pushed over the edge if sea level rise results in flood-driven destruction of homes and infrastructure. However, conflict-affected regions also suffer disproportionately from other effects of climate change, particularly ecological disasters.
As far back as the early 2000s, scientific and political communities have recognized the association between human security and climate change
As far back as the early 2000s, scientific and political communities have recognized the association between human security and climate change. A 2014 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report on the mitigation of climate change brought this association to the forefront of discussions outlining both the direct and indirect effects of climate change on human security. A UN Framework Convention on Climate Change report published in fall 2021 elaborated on this interrelatedness, advocating for the tracking of human security parameters as a proxy for achieving goals in climate change adaptation measures.
These effects are being played out in real time in Ukraine. Radiation spikes experienced as Russian forces captured the Chernobyl power plant and a refugee crisis resulting from mass forced displacement have understandably caused international alarm. Yet with Ukraine being one of the biggest external agricultural exporters to the European Union, the effects on international food security have garnered significantly less attention. Add to this, the implication of disintegrating international collaboration, the divestment of funds from climate change efforts to military operations, and the opportunistic move by some leaders to renege on short-term emissions commitments, and it's clear that conflict spells climate disaster.
However, the impact of climate change on human security refers not only to conflict but also encompass food, energy, and economic security in addition to health threats from pandemic diseases and natural disasters. For example, rising warm season temperatures and changing precipitation patterns across the globe are reducing crop yields and threatening already tenuous food security. The newly published 2022 IPCC report further highlighted the multidimensional effects of climate change on health, food and water security, and migration patterns.
The consequences of these "multiplied threats" require a coordinated approach across all sectors of our society, including health care. For health-care providers, this effort requires a transition from a focus solely on the direct impacts of climate change on individual health, to a broader engagement with the impacts on population health and human security. This shift in focus is highly reminiscent of the challenges communitues continue to face in their responses to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Leveraging Lessons from the COVID-19 Pandemic
Addressing climate change will require a global, coordinated effort on par with the strategies required to address another "risk multiplier" - COVID-19. As a global surgery community, we should learn from the successes and failures in our response to COVID-19 as we tackle climate change.
The 2021 Lancet countdown identified how the COVID-19 pandemic exposed vast inequities in resilience between communities confronted with health emergencies, highlighting the need for national and international coordination and preparedness. Countries fighting hardest to cope with the catastrophic effects of climate change often lack the resources to respond to pandemics, and in the case of COVID-19, are still struggling to vaccinate their populations. The global surgery community is awakening to the time-critical need for improvements in health-care system disaster preparedness. Resilient surgical systems can significantly reduce the impacts of both sudden onset disasters or pandemics and the slower effects of climate change. To build such systems requires the prioritization of stable supply chains for surgical equipment, anaesthetic medications and oxygen; expansion of a multi-disciplinary surgical workforce through regionalized specialization training programs; and investment in and maintenance of climate-friendly and -ready health-care infrastructure.
Yet the regions most affected by climate change such as the Pacific Island nations, and many countries across sub-Saharan Africa and South East Asia tend to have the greatest surgical capacity shortfall, with frequent issues related to supply chain deficits, and bottlenecks in workforce capacity. This became unavoidably apparent to the world during the COVID-19 pandemic when, for example, critical oxygen shortages in India led to hundreds of excess deaths. The compounding effects of climate change will only serve to exacerbate these existing deficits in access to surgical care realized through impacts on surgical infrastructure and workforce.
The Pacific Island nations, and many countries across sub-Saharan Africa and South East Asia tend to have the greatest surgical capacity shortfall
Global Surgical Systems as a Response to Climate Change
Thirty percent of the global burden of disease is surgical; more than that of malaria, HIV/AIDS, and TB combined. Such surgically treatable conditions include traumatic injuries from road traffic accidents, obstructed labour or bleeding post-delivery, life threatening infections of the bones and soft tissues, and debilitating congenital abnormalities such as cleft lip and clubfoot. In 2015, the Lancet Commission on Global Surgery highlighted a significant shortfall in surgical provision worldwide with an estimated 5.3 billion people lacking access to safe, timely and affordable surgical care, and 143 million more operations needed annually. This shortfall is most concentrated in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs); the regions most negatively impacted by climate change. Increasingly, LMICs are formulating National Surgical, Obstetric, and Anesthesia Plans (NSOAPs), which entail structured policy initiatives intended to incorporate surgical health care into national health structures, in an attempt to address this need. As we strategize to massively scale-up surgical systems worldwide, it is imperative to incorporate climate change-related health security concerns into the agenda. Surgical, anesthesia, and obstetric leaders have not only an opportunity but also an obligation to do so.
Plans for the scale-up of surgical services must reflect the importance of the complex relationship between health, climate change, and human security. The World Health Organization (WHO), through its health and climate change toolkit and operational framework advocates embedding climate change adaptation strategies within national healthcare planning. Surgical care providers contribute significantly to greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions yet also have the ability to respond to trauma, emergency, and critical care needs associated with climate-related disasters. As global surgery advocates we have a vital role to play in both mitigation and adaptation, reducing health care related GHG emissions and coping with the effects respectively.
As a first step, surgical leaders must modify their frameworks. National Adaptation Processes (NAPs), established under the UNFCCC agenda, are a means by which LMICs can identify medium- to long-term strategies across policy sectors. The WHO advocates for the formulation of Vulnerability and Adaptation Assessments (V&As) and specific Health National Adaptation Processes (H-NAPs) within NAPs. These H-NAPs must be comprehensive and incorporate surgical system planning. In tandem, NSOAPs must integrate climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction. The Pacific Island Countries are implementing this approach and leading the way in innovative endeavors and advocacy using their collective voice as the "Blue Continent." Despite demonstrating the collective power of low- and middle-income countries in driving through the Paris Accord of COP21 in 2015, these same countries most affected by climate change largely rely on adaptation strategies given their limited ability to mitigate emissions compared to high-income countries.
High-income countries have a moral responsibility to protect the human security needs of the most climate-vulnerable communities. HICs, as the major contributors to GHG emissions and climate-destructive practices, should not be allowed to take a passive back seat. Integral to this effort, the global surgery community has an opportunity to break from its neo-colonial roots. Surgical, anesthesia, and obstetric providers have an obligation to advocate for climate responsible practices in their own operating rooms, and beyond. In doing so, we will promote justice for those who are most at risk of being devastated by climate change, a human security threat almost entirely out of our patients' control.

SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN (Rated PG-13)
The legend of Snow White has been revived this year in a TV series and two movies, the previous one in late March.
What accounts for this phenomenon is a mystery that defies explanation, at least from my vantage point.
As far as movies go, it is clear that Snow White has slipped from the grasp of the Walt Disney kingdom.
Earlier this year, “Mirror Mirror” proved an amiable, comedic take on the timeless fairytale.
“Snow White and the Huntsman,” elevating a warrior to co-equal status, is a darker, foreboding tale, where the cruel Queen is the ultimate incarnation of villainy. Again, no Disney magic found here.
But first, a prologue sets the stage. Snow White is a young child when her widower father, King Magnus, defeats an army and rescues the beautiful Ravenna (Charlize Theron) from supposed captivity.
Sad and lonely, the King is smitten by Ravenna’s beauty and quickly decides to marry her. On their wedding night, Queen Ravenna reveals her true colors, and it isn’t pretty.
On the marital bed, the King, for reasons to be left unexplained, demonstrates a lack of staying power. Thus, the evil Queen Ravenna promptly seizes the throne, tossing Snow White into a cold, damp cell in the palace tower.
To keep her status as the fairest beauty in the land, the Queen talks to her magic mirror, takes milk baths and in vampire-like fashion sucks the life out of every fair maiden she can find.
The Queen’s loyal sidekick is her wretched brother Finn (Sam Spruell), whose unfortunate blond page-boy haircut and pale skin apparently render him a pliable henchman serving her every twisted whim.
Foretelling the doom that awaits, the Queen’s fabled mirror, a shape-shifting device, warns that the kingdom is running out of fresh virgins and the sacrifice of Snow White is the Evil Queen’s only salvation.
Not surprisingly, Snow White breaks free of the castle and runs to the Dark Forest, a really grim place that is nicely realized by blackened trees, slithering snakes, and a monstrous troll. It’s dark enough that it should give nightmares to very young kids.
The Queen possesses numerous supernatural powers, including the ability to turn black ravens into an army of warriors, but she’s not keen on pursuing her stepchild into the forbidding forest.
Thus, the Huntsman (Chris Hemsworth), a fierce warrior reduced to a bitter drunkard as the result of the death of his wife, is enlisted to hunt down Snow White by a false promise given by the Queen.
Knowing the tricky terrain of the Dark Forest, the Huntsman takes little time in finding the princess and then precious little more time to be entranced by Snow’s plucky resolve.
Eluding the Queen’s brother and his gang, Snow White and the Huntsman end up seeking refuge in a camp where the only residents are women who have disfigured themselves as protection against the Queen’s ravenous appetite.
On the run once again, they end up being captured by the proverbial dwarves, this time all of them played by recognizable actors like Ian McShane, Nick Frost, Bob Hoskins and Ray Winstone.
A nice cinematic trick has miniaturized full-grown men into little people, the effect of which is so jarring that one ponders more how this was accomplished than to pay attention to the unfolding story.
As it should be, the dwarves add some much-needed humor into this bleak fairytale, but in the end they don’t provide as much comic relief as the story requires.
The dwarves serve a meaningful purpose of leading the Huntsman and Snow White into a magical fairyland, where cute animals and sprites frolic in a lush green forest.
After our duo hooks up with Prince William (Sam Claflin), the action then shifts abruptly to a medieval battle scene with a full-scale assault on the Evil Queen’s island fortress.
Snow White, dressed in a suit of armor like Joan of Arc, suddenly abandons her blank-eyed look and takes on the steely determination of a fierce warrior similar to that of her savior the Huntsman.
Of course, as to be expected, there is a showdown between Snow White and Queen Ravenna, where at first the princess is tossed around like a rag doll.
“Snow White and the Huntsman,” with elements of fantasy, romance, adventure and intense action, seems calculated to appeal to a wide-range of audiences. Indeed, it succeeds on several levels.
DVD RELEASE UPDATE
Long before he played the weary private eye James Rockford, James Garner was the wisecracking ladies’ man Bret Maverick in a Western TV series.
Now for the first time, “Maverick: The Complete First Season” is being released on DVD, containing all 27 episodes of Season One that average 50 minutes a clip.
Bret Maverick and his more serious brother Bart (Jack Kelly) are two handsome bachelors on the loose in the Wild West, traveling with a sense of humor and a knack for getting into trouble.
The two have more success at the game of poker than the game of love, yet their fondness for gambling invariably leads to some sort of frontier hassle.
“Maverick” is a classic and sometimes humorous Western series that was nominated for four Emmys and won one during its successful 5-year broadcast run.
For the right person, “Maverick: The Complete First Season” may prove a fitting Father’s Day gift.

Denver Looking To Hire PR Agency To Reduce Youth Marijuana Use
The City of Denver is looking to hire a Public Relations firm to work to ensure kids don’t start smoking marijuana too young. They want a team that can prepare a youth communications and engagement plan that will result in a media kit, pop-up informational booth and/or a “class- in-a-box” that will serve to deliver the youth educational messages to target audiences.
In November 2012, Colorado became one of the first two states in the nation to legalize marijuana for adults 21 and older, through voter passage of Amendment 64 to the Colorado Constitution. Based on surveys from 2015, 38% of Colorado high school students report ever using marijuana in their lifetime, and 21% report having used marijuana in the last 30 days. In November 2013, City and County of Denver (the City) voters approved a 3.5% special sales tax on retail marijuana to support the city’s marijuana regulation, enforcement and education efforts.
With this dedicated revenue source, the City has provided grant funding for youth education, prevention and diversion programming and is seeking to supplement the ongoing programming with a broader informational campaign.
The City seeks to educate its youth in a creative, effective and positive manner about marijuana with a multi-month campaign that reaches diverse audiences across the entire city and seeks to reach youth in a range of ages. The campaign shall not strive to scare youth, but rather to teach Denver’s youth about the city’s laws, about the potential harmful effects of youth marijuana use – both socially and physiologically – and to give youth a better overall understanding of marijuana as well as useful tools for avoiding it.
There is a need to establish a citywide message, brand and communications strategy that will convey information on this effort in a coordinated and understandable way, as well as elicit interest and participation on the part of Denver youth in both the planning and execution process.
The campaign must strive to resonate with young, diverse audiences including, African-American, White and Primary goals of the marijuana prevention and education campaigns are:
- Increase accurate knowledge of marijuana laws.
- Increase accurate knowledge of the health impacts of marijuana use.
- Increase accurate knowledge of the social impacts of marijuana use.
- Increase accurate knowledge of positive youth development principles.
- Increase accurate knowledge of the risks of:
- marijuana use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding
- underage use of marijuana
- overconsumption of marijuana-infused products (edibles)
- secondhand marijuana smoke exposure
- public use of marijuana products
This campaign will be grounded in positive youth development principles and will be directed at educating youth about the laws and health effects of marijuana use.
Proposal due by October 11, 2016 to:
Wellington Webb Municipal Office
West Colfax Ave, Dept 304

THURSDAY, Dec. 8, 2022 (HealthDay News) — The JYNNEOS vaccine, which is recommended for persons exposed to or at high risk for exposure to mpox virus, seems safe, with the most common adverse health events reported as nonserious, according to research published in the Dec. 9 issue of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.
Jonathan Duffy, M.D., from the CDC Mpox Emergency Response Team, and colleagues monitored JYNNEOS vaccine safety using the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System (VAERS) and the Vaccine Safety Datalink for vaccine recipients of all ages.
During May 22 to Oct. 21, 2022, 987,294 doses of JYNNEOS vaccine were administered in the United States. The researchers found that the most common adverse events reported to VAERS were nonserious and included injection site reactions; this was consistent with prelicensure studies. The rates of adverse health events were similar for doses received by intradermal and subcutaneous administration. In adults, serious adverse events were rare, and none were identified among persons aged younger than 18 years.
“JYNNEOS postlicensure and postauthorization vaccine safety surveillance findings to date are consistent with those observed in the clinical trials, and support JYNNEOS vaccine safety with no new or unexpected safety concerns identified,” the authors write. “CDC and FDA will continue to monitor the safety of JYNNEOS. Health care providers should continue to report adverse events after JYNNEOS to VAERS.”
One author disclosed financial ties to Janssen Vaccines & Prevention; a second author disclosed ties to health care companies.
