Whistler Children’s Festival
Posted by: Feet Banks
“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.”
– Pablo Picasso
Whistler has often been compared to Peter Pan’s Neverland, a place people go when they don’t want to grow up. So it’s kind of fitting that our longest-running festival is solely dedicated to children and arts and play. The Whistler Children’s Festival runs this weekend, July 13-14, 2013 in Whistler Olympic Plaza and features two days of live entertainment, art workshops, and all sorts of family fun.
“It was always the best day of the summer as far as I remember,” says Grace Mcleod, a born-and-raised Whistler kid who attended the first Children’s fest in 1983, back when it was called the Whistler Children’s ARTS Festival and was based out of the still-brand-new Whistler Village Square. Now, three decades later the festival is returning to Whistler Village after a great 8 year stint in Whistler Creekside. It’s a move organizers expect will make for the biggest and best festival ever.
“The move to Whistler Olympic Plaza means many more visitors to Whistler will have the opportunity to enjoy the entertainment and mingle with local families,” says longtime resident/mother/librarian/Arts Council member Joan Richoz. Arts still play a major role however, “This is probably the only children’s festival in the province with such a large focus on art workshops as well as entertainment. Watching the kids create their works of art and proudly display it is my favourite part.”

Despite the Whistler Children’s Festival name dropping the word “Arts” this year, the “hands-on” art workshops still steal the show, allowing kids to participate, learn and create rather than simply sit and watch a performance. From soap stone carving to backyard birdhouses to top hats, garden art and a Circus School the Whistler Children’s Festival offers 19 different arts workshops multiple times over the two-day event.
At the same time there will be plenty of great entertainment: from 10 AM to 5 PM both days, the main stage at Whistler Olympic Plaza will come alive with gleeful performances from the likes of The Kerplunk’s, Fresh Groove and the always bankable Major Conrad Flapps. Ache Brasil closes the show on Saturday and Alex Cuba the Lost Fingers finish things off Sunday evening.
The 2012 Whistler Children’s Festival. The “Checkerboard Guy” has been performing here since I was a kid. He is incredible.
Cool art, fresh air, free music and lots of fun : the Whistler Children’s Festival might be one of the best reasons Whistler has to never grow up. (On the other hand, there’s also something to be said for the comforts of adulthood and more than few parents will be swapping off this weekend—one takes the kids to the Festival while the other hits the spa or patio or bike park or jetboat tour. Whistler is just as much fun for the children-grown-old).
Get a full list of events, performances and workshops at the Whistler Arts Council site and if you see a workshop your kid will love it’s best to sign up in advance. The workshops cost but general entrance to the Festival is by donation.

Something will have to give at Verizon Center in Washington, D.C., tonight when the team with the league’s best road points percentage — the Boston Bruins — visits the team with the league’s second-best (and the East’s top) points percentage — the Washington Capitals.
The last time these opposing forces clashed, the home-standing Capitals prevailed. That’s the last time the Bruins lost a road game. The Bruins have since won seven straight on foreign ice. They’ve also won four in a row overall, while the Caps just snapped a three-game losing streak with an emotional win over Pittsburgh Wednesday.
It stands to reason the Caps would be tough to beat at home, as they have the second change and it becomes difficult for opponents to match up their best defensemen or defensive forwards against superstar Alexander Ovechkin. That will be the tough task tonight for Bruins head coach Claude Julien, who will try to get Zdeno Chara on the ice as often as possible against Alexander the Great. (more…)

Climb out of your underground comic bunker and break out your Wolverine pen with genuine berzerker action - you'll want to write this down. Marvel has released the updated premiere dates for the following movies:
Iron Man 2 - May 7, 2010
Spider-Man 4 - May 6, 2011
Thor - June 17, 2011
The First Avenger: Captain America - July 22, 2011

The pistol, or single-leg squat, is a unique exercise that combines strength, flexibility, and coordination.
The pistol squat puts all your weight on one leg, making this exercise much harder to perform. It is a great bodyweight exercise if regular squats or lunges became too easy, and it allows you to build massive leg strength without putting a heavy barbell on your back which compresses your spine. But it is not only a progression of the squat, in fact, it works your body in whole different way. You will require much more stabilizing muscles to keep yourself balanced on one leg and require a lot of hip, knee and ankle mobility. The pistols will also help you to correct strength imbalances between the legs, because one leg cannot compensate for the other.
This is an Intermediate exercise, most people won't be able to do even one full range pistol squat at first, and even people who can squat heavy weight cannot perform them sometimes, because it requires a different set of abilities. You should be able to do at least 40 bodyweight squats before considering the pistol squat.
Although the pistol squat will strengthen your legs, it is not a bodybuilding exercise, but its a movement exercise. The main purpose of the pistol squat is to move all the major muscle groups together, rather than targeting a specific muscle for hypertrophy. The pistol squat will improve your ankle and hip mobility, improve flexibility and increase your balance tremendously.
To build your strength up if you can't perform a full pistol yet. Start by doing regular bodyweight squats, you should be able to do at least 40 reps. After you'll get better, it is recommended to practice the squats with very narrow stance, when the feet are close together. Then do a pistol squat holding a pole, gradually decreasing the amount of assistance the pole provides. Then progress to a single leg box squat where you lower yourself on a box or chair instead of the floor. Gradually decrease the height of the box.
Watch your knees. One legged squat requires a lot of mobility and stability from your knees. If you feel pain or bad balance in the knees, work on their mobility first and do assisted pistols.
Don't let the knee to pass your toes. This will put too much stress on the knees, your knee should be directly over the toes at the bottom position.
Keep your heels on the ground. Ankle mobility tends to be one of the most common problems preventing people from doing the pistol. To avoid overloading the knee joint, keep the feet flat on the ground. If the heels begin to raise, work on your ankle flexibility.
Its ok to round your back at the bottom of the movement. Since your back doesn't have to carry any weight, it is ok to round it at the bottom, trying to keep a neutral spine at the bottom position might be too difficult to achieve.
You can use a counterweight to help you with balance. Hold a dumbbell, kettlebell or a plate in front of you as you squat, the counter weight will help you to keep your balance. Gradually reduce the weight until you can do the pistol squat without it.

On March 18, 2020, President Trump signed the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (the Act) into law. The Act requires employers to provide paid leave for some employees related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, among other measures. The leave provisions of the Act take effect no later than 15 days after it is signed by the president.
Emergency Paid Sick Leave
The Act requires two weeks of paid sick leave for government workers and employees of companies with fewer than 500 employees. Leave must be made available to workers who are symptomatic or are under an order or advice to quarantine or self-isolate, who have to care for a family member under such an order or advice, or who have a child whose school or child care provider or facility has closed or is unavailable due to the coronavirus.
The Act provides that future regulations issued by the Dept. of Labor may exempt healthcare providers and small businesses with fewer than 50 employees from the paid sick leave requirement.
Emergency Family and Medical Leave Act
The Act provides FMLA rights for some employees of companies with fewer than 500 employees, requiring partially paid leave after 10 days when an employee is unable to work or telework due to school or child care closures related to the coronavirus.
The Act provides funding for economic assistance and requires health plans to cover COVID-19 testing at no charge. A refundable tax credit for employers that provide paid leave benefits as required by the Act is also included. The U.S. Treasury is expected to use its regulatory authority to advance funds to some small businesses to cover the cost of providing paid sick leave.
Published Tuesday, March 17, 2020:
On Monday, March 16, the U.S. House of Representatives unanimously approved unspecified technical corrections to the Families First Coronavirus Response Act.
The “Act” would be the second, emergency coronavirus response measure to be passed. After declaring a national emergency on March 13, President Trump signed a bill to provide funding to federal public health agencies for vaccines, tests and potential treatments.
Due to the impact of the novel coronavirus outbreak, the “Act” aims to support workers during this difficult and uncertain time through the following provisions:
- 14 days of partially paid sick leave for government workers and employees of companies with fewer than 500 employees. Leave would be available to workers who are sick, must care for a sick family member, or have a child whose school or childcare facility has closed due to the virus.
- Expansion of the FMLA for employees of companies with fewer than 500 employees, requiring partially paid leave after 14 days.
- A tax credit for employers that provide paid sick leave benefits required by the “Act.”
- Additional funding for state unemployment programs.
The U.S. Senate intends to make a decision on the bill mid-week with the exception of possible alterations to the bill.

Frequently Asked Questions
All of our consultations are complimentary. We believe in our treatments and our treatment outcomes, and we want you to believe in us. To do that, we believe that we need to build relationships, which builds trust and enables a balanced and productive Client-Doctor relationship.
Dr de Maio created these techniques after noticing an alarming trend of facial distortion and imbalance in patients having injectable aesthetic treatments.
Dr de Maio developed a more natural approach to facial augmentation based on “emotional attributes” which we recognize by way of sadness, tired angry and saggy appearances.
This methodology, practised by Dr Kennea who has studied under Dr de Maio and other industry leaders, leads the physician to a different starting point. Historically, unnatural results have arisen out of “chasing” the lines and folds that typically concern patients. These are referred to as ‘Distractors’. They distract the patient from the cause of these lines and folds.
First we undertake a full comprehensive facial analysis during a complimentary consultation, aimed at educating our patients and ensuring a clear aesthetic plan to achieve a natural and positive outcome.
It’s like building a house. We first build the “FOUNDATION” which supports the house, we then begin to frame the house by providing symmetry, balance and “CONTOUR”, next we address the distractions which are the wallpaper and paint (lips, lines and eyes). “REFINEMENT”
There’s no stage, and we always fully assess every patient’s needs and wants for treatment, but there is a growing theme of medical aesthetics as preventing aging, using techniques and technology, such as Broadband Light (BBL), which ensures the youth genes within the skin remain switched on perpetually.
The classic example of this is the nasolabial (the fold between the nose and the mouth). This feature is a symptom of volume loss and descent in the face and a lack of support laterally and to the muscles which elevate the face.
Simply treating this by filling the line does not correct the descent of the face, whilst the patient thinks that filling the line will make them happy; they are in fact happiest if we work to enhance the muscles in the mid-face, which lift the tissue back to its previous position. This results in a much more natural, age-appropriate outcome — similar to reversing aging by five to 10 years.
Whist I will never over-treat a younger patient, as many of them can manage with lower Botox doses, there is significant scientific evidence from the literature that higher doses result in better longevity and more satisfied patient outcomes.
The most satisfactory use of Botox I see is when people start to use Botox at the first sign of static lines. A static line is a line you can see when the face is at rest. Because young people will rapidly heal those lines over the three-to-four-month window that the Botox is active, we can prevent those lines from ever developing. This is why Botox is described as preventative.
Patients need to trust their injector. Would someone go to a dentist and tell them how much amalgam to use in a filling? Patients need to understand that everyone’s facial anatomy, rate of volume loss, muscle strength, static lines, etc., are different; therefore, patients can’t predict or determine how much Botox they need based on anecdotal evidence from the internet or ‘what a friend had done.’
Lip correction, under-eye correction, jawline, forehead, and frown lines. A structure we like to use is to look at the emotional messages of the face. Negative emotional messages can happen either through the genetic predisposition of the face or through reasons of facial aging.
If the muscles that lift the face become unsupported i.e., through volume loss from aging, then the muscles which drag down the lower face can act more strongly, leading to the appearance of sadness or anger. This can have subsequent effects on how a patient is perceived by family, friends, and colleagues.
When this is corrected, patients report an increased sense of emotional well-being. This is backed up by scientific studies which demonstrated a change in the autonomic nervous system input to the face, which could help explain this renewed sense of emotional well-being.
Myth: If you start using Botox, you will always need to use it: not true.
Truth: The fact is patients come to prefer their face with Botox! I often say to patients, even if they did Botox once or twice per year, you will still delay the progression of your static lines.
Myth: Botox leads to an emotionless, frozen face.
Truth: The frozen look likely results from excessive use of Botox in the lower face for issues that really should have been tackled with a dermal filler approach. I have many patients whose partners are completely unaware they have Botox regularly, as the results are so natural. We only use Botox in specific muscles to achieve a specific objective, e.g., in the forehead to treat forehead lines or in the frown to prevent frowning.
Myth: A full syringe of filler leads to an ‘overfilled’ look.
Truth: It takes five full syringes of hyaluronic acid to fill one teaspoon. From the age of 35, the average person loses the equivalent of six syringes of filler per year. This is where education and time are essential for patients to understand their unique needs and trust the physician’s expertise and experience.
CoolSculpting is a branded, FDA-approved form of fat reduction called cryolipolysis.
CoolSculpting and other forms of cryolipolysis use freezing temperatures to break down fat cells.
Cold does not damage other cells in the way it does fat cells, and so there should be no damage to the skin or underlying tissue.
During the procedure, the practitioner vacuums the skin above the area of fatty tissue into an applicator that cools the fat cells. The cold temperatures numb the area, and some people report feeling a cooling sensation.
Most CoolSculpting procedures take around an hour. There is no recovery time because there is no damage to the skin or tissue. Some people report soreness at the site of CoolSculpting, similar to that they might have after an intense workout or minor muscle injury.
CoolSculpting is a form of cryolipolysis, which is a scientifically proven process of removing fat with a high success rate. CoolSculpting is effective for removing areas of fat from the body, and have fewer side effects than other procedures, such as liposuction, as it is completely non-invasive.
Though this procedure can remove areas of fat, it is not a miracle cure, and people should not expect to see a complete removal of fat. The procedure will not work for everybody, and as experienced providers we will always tell you if the procedure is not suitable for you.
Lifestyle and other factors may also play a role. A person who continues to eat an unhealthful diet and remains sedentary while undergoing CoolSculpting can expect less fat reduction.
Likewise, CoolSculpting cannot tighten loose skin. If the skin has stretched around fatty buildups, a person may have excess skin after the procedure to remove the fat. (See the treatment protocol SkinTyte II)
The price for CoolSculpting procedures varies hugely depending on your areas of concern, your height, weight, size. We are all so different as unique individuals, that there is a huge combination of factors that go into determining a price.
Every consultation ends with the creation of a customized treatment plan, in person, that’s tailored to your body, your goals, and your budget. We even offer flexible payment plans to help patients achieve their goals.
Most patients opt to receive treatments in multiple body areas in order to achieve their goals. The cost typically ranges between $2,000-$4,000 for their personalized treatment plan depending on the number of areas treated.
Once the treated fat cells are crystallized (frozen), they die and are naturally processed and eliminated from the body.
The CoolSculpting procedure safely delivers precisely controlled cooling to gently and effectively target the fat cells underneath the skin. Treated fat cells are crystalized (frozen), then die. Over time, your body naturally processes the fat and eliminates these dead cells, leaving a more sculpted you.
You may start to see changes as quickly as 3 weeks after your treatment and will experience the most dramatic results after 2 months. Your body will still continue to flush out fat cells for up to 4 to 6 months after treatment.
In January 2019 we introduced ZWave Pro; A shockwave therapy treatment that uses sound waves at a precise and focused frequency to break down fat cells. Science has proven that application after Coolsculpting can significantly enhance and speed up the results.
That’s really simple! You don’t! We do.
Unlike many practices that charge extra for this procedure, we have decided that the application of ZWave Pro in our personal Z-Plus treatment Protocol is so significant that we wanted to use it in all of our treatments. It as so many positive influences from the end of treatment massage to the actual acceleration in results that we can’t NOT include it. And we offer it at no extra charge to you.
How cool is that?
Yes and No!
We use BBL – Broadband Light which is part of our Sciton Joule Hybrid Fractional Laser system. BBL is part of the Forever Bare protocol. Patients describe it as being far more comfortable than laser, and we find that because the handset is much larger (its light not a laser) the treatment is also quicker. There is little to no downtime, and results are outstanding.

Halloween is almost here, and with this spooky holiday comes some environmental horrors, starting with some of our costume choices. Not only are store-bought costumes made to be worn once or twice and then tossed into your local landfill, but some of them are also made with some scary materials. The terrifying plastic masks, preternatural princess fabrics and face paints are even more horrifying because of the toxic chemicals they may contain. Here are some harmful chemicals to be on the lookout for this week: Polyvinyl chloride, or PVC, contains harmful chemicals. The Center for Health, Environment and Justice, a nonprofit organization based in New York, calls polyvinyl chloride “one of the most hazardous consumer products ever created.” The CHEJ has launched a campaign against the production of PVC called “PVC: Poison Plastic,” and produced a 2004 study, “Bad News Comes in Threes.” The “Threes” refers to the recycling symbol with a “3” in the middle, which identifies products made of PVC. According to CHEJ, “Some store-bought costumes can contain polyvinyl chloride (PVC). PVC products can leach toxic additives, like phthalates, throughout their use. Phthalates are added to PVC products to make them softer and more flexible, but these chemicals are known to disrupt hormones. While shopping for a costume, check the label to make sure it’s PVC-free.” Phthalates have been banned in children’s toys, but many costumes unfortunately still contain them. Lead and cadmium are heavy metals that are known neurotoxins and can be very dangerous for children, even limited exposure to small amounts. These heavy metals can stay in children’s systems for a long period of time. Cheap costume jewelry, like the kind that comes with Halloween costumes, may contain lead and cadmium. Avoid using face paints marketed for Halloween. The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics conducted a report that sent 10 children’s face paints to an independent lab to have them tested for heavy metals. They found that 10 out of 10 face paints contained lead. According to the report, “Experts say there is no safe level of lead exposure for children and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend that parents avoid using cosmetics on their children that could be contaminated with lead.” Young people exposed to lead can experience hyperactivity, impulsive behavior, IQ deficits, reduced academic performance, aggression and delinquent behavior. Lead can also impact fertility, including increasing risk for miscarriage and reducing sperm quality. Lead has even been associated with an increased risk for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. One of the scariest parts of this report, for me, was that the paints did not list lead on the labels. To find out more and to read the full report, visit safecosmetics.org. Here are some tips on how to make your Halloween a little safer for your family and the environment:
- Host a costume swap. Get a group together and swap gently used Halloween costumes. According to Real Simple magazine, Halloween costumes add up to about 12,500 tons of landfill waste a year. This figure does not even factor in all the throwaway decorations and candy wrappers.
- Choose costumes that do not require face paint or plastic masks. Avoid the toxic plastics and heavy metals altogether.
- Make your own costumes. Even if you are not that crafty, you can shop at your local thrift store and use pieces from your closet to create costumes. Decorated cardboard boxes can become dice, robot bodies or Minecraft heads. I made an Olaf costume with some white T-shirts, black felt and a crocheted carrot nose. Involve your children in a brainstorming session — it will be fun, and you may be surprised with the great ideas you come up with. My daughters have come up with some terrific ideas like the aforementioned Olaf, an apple fairy, a cloud with raindrops and a word-search costume (requiring only a white T-shirt, trim and a black fabric marker).
- Choose cloth. If you are buying a costume this year, look for costumes that are made from cloth — preferably 100% cotton, not synthetic materials.


text: Pecial concentrate on their biosynthesis in heterologous hosts.INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS OF ISOFLAVONOIDSIsoflavonoids are usually present in low amounts in seeds and roots on the Leguminosae/Fabaceae family members which includes a number of typically consumed plants like barley, broccoli, cauliflower, fava beans, lupine, kudzu, and soy (Prasad et al., 2010; Table 1). Traces of isoflavonoids are also present in red wine and in other plants like alfalfa, red clover and linseed (Pilsakova et al., 2010). Really interestingly, isoflavonoids have also been identified from at the least 59 non-leguminous plant households (i.e., Iridaceae, Rosaceae, and Liliaceae), since it is normally believed that isoflavonoids’ biosynthetic machinery is not extensively distributed in plant families except legumes (Lap , 2007). cRole in PlantsWith increasing climate and environmental pressures, the possible utilization of isoflavonoids in planta to boost plant resistance against herbivore insects and to improve the interactions on the plant with all the rhizobiome has resulted in increased interest and research (Dillon et al., 2017). Isoflavonoids generate a spectrum of added benefits for the host plant (Figure two). Isoflavonoids play an essential part in plant defense, as they possess a range of antimicrobial activities (generally analyzed in vitro) (Dixon, 1999). They may be well-known as plant defensive chemical compounds and are active against vertebrates, molluscs, herbivorous insects, and microorganisms (Dakora and Phillips, 1996; Nwachukwu et al., 2013). As an example, the wellknown isoflavonoid pterocarpans, maackiain, and pisatin play a crucial role as phytoalexins within the interaction involving Nectria haematococca along with the host plant Pisum sativum (garden pea) (Wasmann and VanEtten, 1996; Enkerli et al., 1998). Both of these pterocarpans are targets of fungal virulence aspects and detoxification enzymes, which indicates their value for the host plant. Lately, Dillon and colleagues have shown that BRaf Inhibitor Synonyms UV-B-induced accumulation of genistein enhances resistance of field-grown soybean plants against Anticarsia gemmatalis neonates (Dillon et al., 2017). A 30 reduction in survival and 45 reduction in mass gain of larvae was documented, and the authors have concluded that UV-B-induced accumulation of isoflavonoids increases the resistance of plants against A. gemmatalis (Dillon et al., 2017). An overview of UV-B-based induction of isoflavonoids is HIV-2 Inhibitor Formulation described in section “Regulation of Isoflavonoid Biosynthesis in Plants.” Isoflavonoids usually are not only active inside the cell but in addition play a effective function in the rhizosphere. The role of isoflavonoids inside the induction of nodulation genes and as allelopathic agents has also been documented (Dixon, 1999). Daidzein, secreted by soybean roots, acts as a signaling molecule for nodulation and alters the structure and functioning of rhizosphere communities (Okutani et al., 2020). Along with this, isoflavonoids play a role in theFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology | www.frontiersin.orgJuly 2021 | Volume 9 | ArticleSajid et al.Recent Advances in Isoflavonoid BiosynthesisFIGURE 1 | Standard skeleton of isoflavonoids: isoflavonoids are structurally various to flavonoids, using the B-ring migration from position two to 3, which in turn results in the structural similarities to estrogen, e.g., 17-estradiol. Isoflavonoid diversity is regulated by simple functional additions such as hydroxyl, which in turn can generate additional rings in to the backbone, e.g., pterocarpan and coum.

Thank you for your e-mail in which you requested the following information under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 (FOISA):
"1. How many criminal cases concerning environmental wildlife crime have been concluded since 2008?
2. How many debriefs following the conclusion of those cases in Q1 have been held between COPFS and Police Scotland?"
Firstly, I should explain that the Crown Office and Procurator Fiscal Service’s case management database is a live, operating database. It is designed to meet our business needs in relation to the processing of cases and the information within it is structured accordingly. We do not have a separate statistical database, and hold only operational data needed for business purposes.
Tackling wildlife and environmental crime is a high priority for COPFS. A unit of dedicated specialist prosecutors – the Wildlife and Environmental Crime Unit (WECU) - has been in operation since 15 August 2011. WECU handles all reports of wildlife and environmental crime and initially considers all cases of animal cruelty and neglect.
Your request relates to "environmental wildlife crime". It is unclear from this description whether your request is in relation to wildlife crime or if you also seek information about environmental crime. For the purposes of this response we have interpreted that the data you seek relates to wildlife crime.
I can advise that wildlife crime data is already accessible in Wildlife Annual Reports published by the Scottish Government. I attach a link to the reports which are presently accessible which include the periods 2012 to 2015. The reports contain details of the number of cases reported to COPFS and associated case outcomes http://www.gov.scot/Topics/Environment/Wildlife-Habitats/paw-scotland/Resources/Reports/annual-report
Unfortunately there are no annual reports published for the earlier periods of your request from 2008 to 2011. Under section 12 of FOISA public authorities are not required to comply with a request for information if the authority estimates that the cost of complying would exceed the upper cost limit, which is currently set at £600 by Regulations made under section 12. It would be a significant exercise for COPFS to replicate the level of data in the reports for the periods 2008 to 2011.

Mom Shares the Terrifying Way the Formula Shortage Is Affecting Her Baby
Babies have very limited options about what they can eat. For some mothers and babies, breastfeeding is all that is needed, but in many cases, mothers are either not able to breastfeed their babies or they need to do a combination of breastfeeding and formula feeding.
In case you don’t already know, right now in the United States there is a formula shortage. Remember the toilet paper shortage of 2020? That’s what parents of babies are experiencing right now with formula. The difference is that many babies need formula in order to survive. It’s not like toilet paper where there are other potential alternatives.
Next time you go to the grocery store or a big box store like Target or Walmart, take a peek down the aisle where formula is supposed to be. You will most likely see mainly empty shelves. If they are stocked, they probably won’t be that way for long. We’ve seen moms online sharing pictures of store shelves when formula gets restocked, and we’re pretty sure the moms who desperately need that formula are running to the store and buying it before it’s gone.
Kayzie Weedman is a mom of two. Her youngest is her daughter Palmer who desperately needs formula. This mom has friends and family in other states looking for the specific type of formula she needs every time they go to the store. Even still, she has traveled as far as two hours away just to buy formula for her daughter.
Weedman explained to BuzzFeed, “My daughter, Palmer, is on a hypoallergenic formula due to a slew of allergies that she has. She has a cow’s milk protein allergy, a gluten allergy, a soy allergy, and a goat’s milk allergy. She does not have the ability to switch to any formula that is left on the shelf because MOST formulas have all of her allergens and she breaks out in a horrible rash that turns into boils and scabs, she has trouble breathing and wheezing, and she constantly throws up.”
Weedman wanted others to understand the severity of the formula shortage and how it’s impacting her family, so she created a now viral TikTok where she shows what store shelves look like and how her daughter reacts when she has to make due with formula that she is allergic to.
@momofrory Excuse my makeup less crying face 🥺 this #formulashortage is so scary. #formulamilk #formulacrisis #formulafeeding #formulafed #fyp #fypシ ♬ original sound – Kayzie Weedman
Many moms who commented on Weedman’s TikTok sympathized with her and shared her stress about the formula shortage.
One mom wrote, “This really breaks my heart. I’m blessed enough to be able to breastfeed but the mommas that can’t I think about you all every single day.”
Another mom shared, “I so understand. Me and my daughter went to 10 different stores for my nephew and no luck.”
Then there were the moms who went above and beyond. They didn’t just want to help her, they actually did. Multiple people went to their local stores, found the exact formula Weedman needs for her daughter and mailed it to her.
One mom wrote, “I searched the comments for the formula you need! I can overnight 7 cans of up and up the orange one for target‼‼‼‼”
Another comment reads, “I live in Australia we have heaps of formula here, I can ship some to you don’t know how long it would take though.”
Another mom asked, “What do you need – I travel for work and happy to look a all the states and send it to you.”
Weedman shared on Facebook that she now has enough formula to last 3 months. She is beyond grateful, and she urges others to help out by looking for formula for moms who need it; however, she cautions against panic buying since that only makes the shortage worse for others.
Do you know anyone who is struggling to find formula for their baby right now? If so, reach out, ask what kind of formula they need, and look for it when you go shopping. If you see it in stock, buy a can. If you are searching for formula, reach out to family and friends to let them know what you are looking for. Stores in other areas and states might be stocked.

My long time friend, Amy, came to visit us. She arrived Sunday night and is leaving bright and early Thursday morning. It is her first trip to Switzerland.
Unfortunately, as she found out, we live in the Ogden of Switzerland. That's Jason's description of it anyway. You think you are coming to this fabulous country and find out that while it is fabulous, you're stuck in the less than fabulous region. (For my Pennsylvania readers, I think the comparison would be that Basel is the Allentown of Switzerland, if you get my drift.)
Not saying that I don't like Basel, because I do. And yesterday Amy and I walked to two castles, and then for dinner we walked to Germany and ate Turkish food at the grocery store. We crossed the Rhine and saw huge barges floating down it. We even toured an old church that is the final resting place for many 14th century knights. So, it's not a bad place.
But, it's not the Alps either. It's the industrial center of Switzerland. We have lots of business and lots of factories, but very few mountains. Which is why, this morning, Amy decided not to come with me to take Sarah to school, but rather she hopped a train to Gimmelwald. This village is only accessible by cable car. So, she'll take two different trains, a bus and then a cable car up to this little village in the alps.
I hope she has a good time.

This Thursday, February 23rd, women and men of the Massachusetts solar industry will come together at District Hall in Boston to participate in the third annual #NationWISE event. NationWISE is a multi-city roundtable that was started by the Boston-based nonprofit Women in Solar Energy (WISE) to facilitate dialogue and collaboration towards a common goal of advancing women in all aspects of the solar energy industry. The event provides an exciting opportunity for women across the United States to unite and bring forth innovative ideas and strategies to strengthen the solar community and to set priorities for the upcoming year. Nexamp, a leading commercial solar developer headquartered in Boston, is honored to host the Northeast chapter this year.
WISE was founded in 2011 by industry veteran, Kristen Nicole and is dedicated to promoting diversity and inclusion within the solar sector. Over the past five years, the industry has undergone a revolution; according to a 2016 annual report from the Solar Foundation, a Washington D.C. based nonprofit, jobs in the U.S. solar industry have increased by at least 20% each year since 2012. Of the industry’s over 260,000 workers nationwide, only 28% are women.
As one of the fastest growing industries in the United States (one in every 50 new jobs in the U.S. were in the solar industry in 2016), the solar industry presents an exciting opportunity for women of all stages in their careers to join a vital industry that is paving the way towards a sustainable energy future. Now is a critical time for women to lead widespread industry change by welcoming newcomers, improving paths to leadership, and promoting a friendly work environment for all, regardless of race, gender, or ethnicity. Nexamp is proud to partner with WISE to continue to build an even stronger community for women in the solar industry.

There’s a reason for the inverted commas…
Jen Atkin’s haircare brand Ouai has just announced the launch of “blotting papers”. Why the inverted commas you ask? Well, the company is branding them as as blotting papers even though they’re technically more akin to rolling papers used for recreational smoking.
In a hilarious marketing activation, the papers (which sell for $9 for a packet of 40) feature the slogan, “I think you’re dope” with a revamped Ouai logo fitting the theme. On the website, the brand describes the papers saying, “To be perfectly blunt, you’re gonna lose your mind over these 100% natural hemp ‘blotting’ papers. Stash a pack in your pocket or purse and let the good times roll.”
The launch was announced a few hours ago and the post already has over 10,000 likes and over 200 comments. Many of the brand’s loyal customers are praising it for the excellent use of puns (we have to agree) and product development. There was some confusion as to whether or not the papers could actually be used for blotting, with the brand responding to one customer’s query saying, “We won’t stop you!”
This isn’t the first time Ouai has delved into cannabis-related products, having announced the launch of a CBD-infused version of its hair and body scrub last year. However a few weeks later Atkin announced the product was no longer going to be released. In an Instagram statement she wrote, “We researched CBD months ago and saw it naturally calms inflammation and irritation. We decided to add it to a small special batch of our Scalp + Body Scrub. We’ve recently been told that as of a few weeks ago the FDA has decided to change the rules and put a ban on CBD being used in ‘food’ products. Because body scrub is a topical product it apparently falls under the ‘food’ category.” She also told Reason, “The lines are very blurry right now,” in regards to regulations surrounding CBD products. “Blotting papers”, on the other hand, have no such issues. Roll on.

Neuroscientists discover how vertebrates end locomotion ;
neuroscientists from the universities of Cologne and Montreal have discovered the neural mechanisms that control the termination of locomotion. In a study published in the journal Cell Reports , which have identified the cells stop ” in the brainstem neurons and their cellular characteristics and patterns of specific activity it is characterized. The study is the result of an international long-term collaboration between the working groups of teachers and Ansgar Büschges Réjean Dubuc, who both research and neuronal activity.
In the case of vertebrates – including humans – the neurons activity in the midbrain watchdog, especially those required for locomotion. command neurons produced in this region of the brain and transferred directly to the brainstem. From there, they go through the marrow of local networks that control the activity of the muscles of the body. Although much has been known about the mechanisms of initiation and maintenance of the activity for some time in connection with the termination of the activity was only the assumption that the result of the termination of the activity of neurons in the brain stem was. Only recently it was revealed that specific neural mechanisms existed for this. Karolinska researchers discovered Stockholm Intistitutet a population of cells in mice brainstems, which makes the end of a motion sequence. The individual activities of these neurons could not, however, be described or analyzed.
In her study, Dr. Laurent Juvin and Swantje Gratsch in collaboration with Prof. Réjean Dubuc, Prof. Ansgar Büschges and colleagues were able to characterize neurons similar brain stem ( “prevent cells”) using a lamprey. To do this, MRIs, electrophysiological and kinematic methods were used to measure the activity of the cells of “stop” cells then compared with body activity. It could be shown that the “stop” cells could be activated quickly and forcefully just before the end of the movement. These patterns of activity of neurons in the brainstem were unknown until now. Interestingly, selective activation of these cells results in the termination of rapid movements, while the experimental inactivation significantly impairs this process.
These research results provide new insights into the neural control of movement termination in vertebrates, “Stop cells” are neurons in the brainstem affecting neural networks in the bone as neurons control and quickly end bodily activity.

For all the battle scenes bulging with 5,000 extras,Gettysburg will probably go down in history for its fake facial hair, the worst in movie memory. It’s difficult to take actors seriously when it looks like their beards might fall off and you can’t tell Tom Berenger from Stephen Lang under all that lush growth.
Verisimilitude is both the pride and the curse of this mammoth, four-hour-and-eight-minute Civil War saga. Based on Michael Shaara’s Pulitzer Prize-winning 1974 novel,The Killer Angels,the film devotes scrupulous attention to how soldiers looked, talked and moved during those three days in July of 1863, when the Union and the Confederacy fought for supremacy in the bloodiest battle of the war. Director Robert Maxwell was even permitted to film on Gettysburg’s hallowed ground. You appreciate the effort but feel mired by the plodding execution.
The film was intended as a miniseries for TNT, Ted Turner’s cable channel, and will air there next year in a six-hour version. TV seems the right venue for this earnest but surprisingly low-octane dramatization. It’s odd and then some for a film that allows for much stilted speechifying – especially from Martin Sheen’s florid Robert E. Lee – to find no time for Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address.
But there are performances that should not go unnoticed in the melee. Berenger is outstanding as Lee’s Lt. Gen. James Longstreet, as is the late Richard Jordan as Confederate Brig. Gen. Lewis A. Armistead. Best of all is Jeff Daniels, who finds the humanism and scrappy wit in the Union Col. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain. It’s only Daniels’ whiskers that go down in defeat.

Billions afin de to your bioplastics while the ping up
CLEVELAND (AP) – For the a world even more stressed of the chronic spoil that vinyl – produced in petrochemical flowers – has had to your ecosystem, companies are paying billions of bucks in order to crank up creation of plastics created from sheer, green material which are securely composted or normally biodegrade under the best requirements.
Bioplastics have traditionally become found in scientific software. The stitches you have got once cutting your hand slicing onions had been almost certainly produced from an effective bioplastic bond you to harmlessly demolished to your looks.
Nevertheless the nascent bioplastics community envisions a far big character to possess content produced from corn, sugar, vegetable oils and other green content in the hope off getting a larger show out of an around $600 million in the world synthetic sector.
The world should exchange oil synthetic which have plastics one to was in fact affirmed and you may official given that totally eco-friendly, he told you
Since high-measure design began about 1950s, fossil fuels plastics make restaurants safer to consume and you may vehicle preferable to drive, such as. Yet plastic materials are noticed as one of the world’s top environment risks featuring its creation accountable for giving off billion numerous greenhouse gases every year.
Of your own nine mil a great deal of fossil fuels plastic lead as the the brand new 1950s, simply 9% per cent has been recycled, research shows. The rest might have been tucked when you look at the landfills, burned otherwise keeps polluted land and waterways. The new agents design off fossil fuel plastic setting it will never ever totally disintegrate and as an alternative reduces towards shorter and you will smaller particles.
For now, bioplastic represents simply step one% out-of all over the world synthetic manufacturing. If plastic made out of fossil fuel ‘s the astounding Shopping center of The usa when you look at the Minnesota, bioplastics might possibly be a eight-Eleven.
Companies and you will investors come across possibilities. Studies out of i3 Link reveal funding in bioplastic production attained $five hundred billion in the first 90 days out of 2022, surpassing the previous a lot of $350 billion over the past quarter off 2021. The bucks is coming inside the away from each other companies and you may venture capitalists.
Danimer Medical is certainly one business while making an enormous bet on bioplastic that have a recently available extension of their bush inside the Winchester, Kentucky, New Georgia-based organization makes good bioplastic titled PHA playing with microorganisms one ferment with canola oils. The result is plastic pellets one suppliers may use in order to mold products in in the same way they normally use petrochemical vinyl, Danimer Ceo Stephen Croskrey said inside the a job interview.
Straws and you will vinyl take in stirrers made from Danimer’s PHA are increasingly being used in Starbucks and you may Dunkin’ Donuts and enormous spots such as for example Sofi Arena inside the Inglewood, Ca, Croskrey told you.
Comparison has revealed items created from Danimer’s PHA can biodegrade when you look at the half a year in the marine environment and two years from inside the soil, Croskrey told you.
The other top bioplastic sold today are PLA, polylactic acid, usually created by fermenting glucose away from corn and sugar-cane. You to definitely music producer try Minneapolis-created NatureWorks, a jv from the Cargill, one of several world’s premier individually-kept agencies, and you can Thailand-established PTT International Toxins. This is the largest PLA business global, able to produce 150,100 metric numerous bioplastic pellets a year during the a plant when you look at the Blair, Nebraska.
NatureWorks try building a beneficial $600 mil plant in the Thailand that may increase its production capabilities from the 50%, said Leah Ford, the business’s around the world marketing and sales communications manager, inside a job interview.
The company’s “greatest profile industry,” Ford told you, is compostable food provider situations such as plastic material silverware, clear glasses, wrappers and bins you to, plus cafe food spend, will likely be changed into a dark natural situation in order to improve surface within the home gardens as well as on farms. Which is important since restaurants waste blockages recycling machinery and you will contaminates recyclable petroleum plastics.
NatureWorks provides molded a partnership having PHA brand CJ Biography to produce a beneficial bioplastic which can easier biodegrade
NatureWorks has been one thing out-of a-game changer throughout the United Kingdom, in which PG Tips, a large title inside tea, has actually turned regarding polyester beverage bags so you’re able to bags made with cellulose and you may a thin covering out-of NatureWorks’ PLA which might be totally compostable, Ford told you.
Scientists on McGill School in Montreal released a survey for the 2019 that said oil-oriented polyester beverage bags leach billions of microplastic particles when rich inside hot-water. As much as 60 billion cups of teas is consumed annually regarding the United kingdom.
Among the many criticisms out-of bioplastic fashioned with corn and you may glucose is the fact they uses arable land for the an eager entire world. Ford called one concern unfounded. NatureWorks uses glucose extracted from corn because the remaining portion of the kernels are accustomed to establish sweeteners, ethanol, preparing oil and animals provide.
PLA, instead of PHA, cannot effortlessly biodegrade in general. It should be blended with restaurants spend inside industrial composters so you’re able to biodegrade. Whenever buried from inside the landfills, PLA will ultimately disintegrate, however, who would more than likely get ages.
The firm, headquartered inside Southern Korea, is actually expanding the plant from inside the Indonesia and that is probably build a massive plant regarding Americas, said Raj Kirsch, vp of research and you can development on CJ Bio.
Blending both sorts of bioplastic “provides enough value propositions towards last end device,” Kirsch said in the a job interview.
Ramani Narayan, a teacher away from chemicals systems at the Michigan County College, worked that have Cargill in the past to support PLA design.
Narayan said companies are using biodegradability claims to make their issues more desirable so you can people. Although label is “misused, abused and you may overused as the all things in the world is actually eco-friendly given suitable time and ecosystem.”
Narayan accepted one bioplastics are easier to biodegrade than simply petrochemical plastic that can just take years so you’re able to disintegrate, webpage dropping troubling microplastic along the way. The simple fact that PHA requires prolonged to-break down from inside the cooler oceans and ponds compared to temperate climes must not be sugarcoated.

“Happy Thanksgiving!” by Joan Y. Edwards
Thank you for reading my blog and for commenting on my blog posts. It is a wonderful experience to share information with you. It makes me feel good to know that you and I enjoy learning about the same topics. My aim is to encourage and inspire you to continue on your journey in life.
I pray that God bless you with an abundance of everything you need, wisdom to make good choices, and courage to honor and respect yourself, your family, your country, and the whole world. May you reach your goals and feel great satisfaction for what you accomplish every day of your life.
Focus on solutions. Save our environment. Love being who we are. Put trust and integrity into our world. A good day that begins with one word of encouragement for one person can multiply if you pass it on to another person you meet that day. One word can be small for you but big in the heart of the receiver.
For instance, holding the door open for someone carrying boxes or pushing a wheelchair is a small thing for you, but a great relief and help for the person for whom you held the door.
When math is easy for you, helping someone with math is a little thing. When math is difficult for someone, when they receive help it is a big thing.
I love our world and am glad to be here with you. Thank you for sharing your world with me.
Believe in You
God blessed our world with you.
God blessed me when we met online or in person.

|Incident at a Glance|
|# of Suspects:||1||Shots Fired:||Unknown|
A homeowner in Florida confronted a burglar before shooting him around 2am in Orlando.
According to local media reports:
Orlando Police Department said the break-in occurred on Bolder Lane, just off Michigan Street and Conway Road.
The homeowner confronted the intruder before firing the shot, police said.
The suspect is being treated at an area hospital for a gunshot wound, but his current condition is unavailable.
This incident is the one of the most common types of defensive gun uses. That is, one in which no one was killed. Despite this being one of the most common types of defensive gun uses, these incidents are often not included in statistics about defensive gun uses. Many of these statistics and studies focus solely on justifiable homicides, which represent only a fraction of total defensive gun uses.
This is the 127th defensive gun use we’ve documented in the state of Florida and the 1,417th defensive gun use we’ve documented overall.

I always like to travel with my SUV and the roads are not always that good, so, I want to make sure that the tire that I bought was the best tire that I can have for my car. Also, are you just like me who are always looking and asking what is the best tire for SUV’s? It is not easy to find one I tell you, but you don’t have to worry because I am here to help. From all the famous tire companies and manufacturers, I’ve narrowed down and listed below the details of the best tires for SUV’s, available in the market right now. This will give you an idea that can help you choose before buying the tires.
1. Michelin PREMIER LTX. This tire is one of the most known tires at this time and one of my best pick so far. For its features, it has the Michelin EverGripMC Technology that gives you good traction even though the tires wear because of the Expanding Rain grooves and Emerging grooves that keep more traction on wet and wintry conditions. The cool thing with Premier LTX is that it even has a wet-braking technology and uses sunflower oil for EverGrip to make sure that it works well in low temperature. Honestly, it also has great handling because of the many amounts of silica in EverGrip and the mile warranty is 60,000. It’s an awesome tire and I fell in love with it when I used it on my SUV.
2. Cooper Discoverer SRX. Here is my second favorite and it is a great tire as well. If you’re looking for a tire that is easy to handle and quiet while you drive, then you can definitely pick this one. Plus, it’s good for dry and wet conditions, and you can use it off road but don’t always take it off the road since it’s not really created for off-road. Now for its features, it has silica compound that’s making the traction much better, wear square indicator that helps you to see if around how many tread life is left for your tire, stabledge that improves tire handling and increasing the stability of your dry traction, and lastly the 3D micro-gauge thin slits across the rubber that stabilizes the shape of your tire when adding speed, cornering and braking. Definitely, this is one awesome tire that you can use for your SUV.
Now that you know my top 2 tire brands that are best for my SUV’s then, you have an idea what kind of tire to look for. These 2 tires have differences but one thing is clear, it gives the results I want. That’s why it is important to know the features of the tires first, so we would know if we will be getting the results that we want. If you want more detailed reviews about tires you can go to tiredealersites.com for more information.

Raleigh Steinhauer, Franklin (Somerset)
NAME: Raleigh Steinhauer
TOWN: Franklin Township
PARTY AFFILIATION: Republican
OFFICE FOR WHICH YOU ARE A CANDIDATE: Council at Large
1. What makes you qualified to do the job better than your opponent?
As an attorney, I fight and advocate for people every single day. And as a lifetime resident of Franklin, I would love the opportunity to fight and advocate for the people of the Township that I grew up in and love. As such, I have both the skill set and the desire to see Franklin reach its full potential.
Further, unlike my opponents, I intend to listen to the people of Franklin and fight for their interests and not simply those of a few well connected individuals and special interests. And unlike my opponents, I am firmly committed to putting Franklin first, and not political party.
2. What would you consider to be the single most important issue you’ll face in office if victorious?
There are many issues plaguing Franklin Township at the moment including, but not limited to, crime, high taxes, traffic, lack of business generation, and overdevelopment. However, before we can address those issues we must first change the culture of our governing bodies, and establish high ethical standards.
Recently, on the Council we have witnessed a serious decline in ethics. This was particularly apparent in the well-publicized issue regarding Councilman Rajiv Prasad’s malicious attacks against a grassroots citizen’s movement opposed to construction of a multi-million dollar sports complex Prasad was spearheading. Prasad attempted to intimidate and silence these well-intended residents by calling for the township attorney to bring legal action against them and actively seeking the FBI to investigate them as a “neo-Nazi hate and crime” organization, without any evidence whatsoever. The fact that this was permitted to occur while others on Council and wielding political power in the Township knew and stayed silent, to the point of facilitating a cover up, is indicative of the serious lack of ethics and morals infesting our governing bodies. This kind of behavior can never, ever, be allowed to occur again, and to ensure that it does not we must change the culture that allowed it to occur in the first place.
3. Why should voters trust you to do what you say you’ll do?
I have lived in Franklin Township for over 25 years. I was born and raised there. Franklin gave me with a great foundation and allowed me to fulfill my ambition of becoming an attorney, getting the opportunity to help and advocate for people. I am and remain fully invested in the community. My wife and I recently had our first child, a son, and I am absolutely committed to making Franklin the best possible place for him to grow up in.
