In 2016, when I was seven months pregnant and my oldest son was 6, we moved to the Netherlands for my husband's work. During my time there, I noticed several differences between raising a family in the Netherlands and in the United States. Most parents would say "don't parent my child" or "don't tell me how to parent my child". Childcare is subsidizedSince childcare is subsidized in the Netherlands, I was able to start my own circular children's clothing company even while raising young children.

After a water leak damaged the flooring, my partner and I decided to remodel most of our house. We've also decided to do it ourselves while still living in it, which has caused some issues. We have had a blast learning new skills and teaching our kids that anything worth having is worth the hard work. It may have started as a leak, but we've always wanted to make the house our own. Together, we're making a home we can be proud to call our own and making memories the kids will never forget.

☆ Sidestep injury with the lateral lunge
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-25 | by ( Dana Santas | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +6 min

The side or lateral lunge is one of the best exercises for building lateral stability and mobility in the often neglected frontal plane. The side lunge also improves the mobility and stability of your hips, knees and ankles to avoid related strains and sprains. By strengthening the muscles involved in lateral movement with side lunges, you can accomplish these chores more efficiently while reducing your risk of muscle strain or injury. Training with side lunges can increase your lateral movement strength, enhance your mobility and boost your confidence to be more adventurous outdoors. The side or lateral lunge strengthens the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, adductors and core to help you ward off injuries.

☆ Common flame retardants linked to deaths from cancer in people, study finds
▼ + stars: | 2024-04-01 | by ( Sandee Lamotte | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +7 min

CNN —Flame retardants added for decades to thousands of consumer products in the United States may raise the risk of dying from cancer, according to new research. “The new study links PBDEs to deaths from cancer, building a case for the association between flame retardants and cancer mortality being real,” said Trasande, who researches the impact of plastics, flame retardants and other chemicals on children. Flame retardant chemicals also can pass to developing fetuses via the placenta and to newborns through breast milk, past research has found. In some cases, the industry has replaced these chemicals with newer phosphorus-based flame retardants, Trasande said, adding that researchers are now concerned these chemicals may be linked to cancer as well. When reupholstering older couches or chairs, be sure to replace the old foam with flame retardant-free foam.

Vacuuming carbon dioxide out of thin air. Adding iron to the ocean to draw greenhouse gases down to the sea floor. But, as I write in a new article, some of these technologies are being deployed. The effects of climate change are becoming worse. So investors and entrepreneurs are trying — sometimes unilaterally — to fix that.

In an open-air warehouse in California’s Central Valley, 40-foot-tall racks hold hundreds of trays filled with a white powder that turns crusty as it absorbs carbon dioxide from the sky. The start-up that built the facility, Heirloom Carbon Technologies, calls it the first commercial plant in the United States to use direct air capture, which involves vacuuming greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. Heirloom will take the carbon dioxide it pulls from the air and have the gas sealed permanently in concrete, where it can’t heat the planet. Microsoft has already signed a deal with Heirloom to remove 315,000 tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The plant can absorb a maximum of 1,000 tons of carbon dioxide per year, equal to the exhaust from about 200 cars.

☆ Yes, R. Crumb Made a Yoga Mat

During the summer of 2022, I was lucky enough to visit the home of the comics artist couple Aline Kominsky-Crumb and Robert Crumb in a remote town in the south of France. Kominsky-Crumb, in good health at the time of our meeting, died of pancreatic cancer less than six months later. She was, with apologies to Crumb, the more personable of the two. Which brings us to this, Crumb’s touching tribute to his wife in the form of a yoga mat, with art based on an old flier he’d made for one of Kominsky-Crumb’s classes. It’s not something Crumb himself would ever use, but it’s the contrast in their personalities that makes their work so captivating.

Aritzia's spokesperson said the company's success was a "direct result of its high-performance culture." (In a statement of defense filed with the court on July 5, the store manager and Aritzia denied all allegations.

☆ The Top Products to Deal With Poor Air Quality From Wildfire Smoke
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-23 | by ( Jon Bitner | ) www.wsj.com time to read: +7 min

From choosing the right air purifier to modifying your HVAC system, here’s some expert insight on how to handle excessive wildfire smoke. Wildfire smoke and your HVAC systemAir purifiers are one way to deal with wildfire smoke, but they’re not the only weapon in your smoke-fighting arsenal. Other ways to cope with wildfire smokeRunning your HVAC system and air purifier with the right filters is the key to coping with wildfire smoke. These work by surrounding a traditional box fan with air filters, turning it into a surprisingly great air purifier. Wildfire smoke can exacerbate seasonal allergies, though medications such as Claritin, Allegra, Zyrtec and Xyzal can help provide nearly immediate relief.

Many in those states are wondering what they need to know about a first-time wildfire smoke event. Are health risks lower during a first-time wildfire smoke event? People in the Northeast may like to think they are not at risk from the wildfire smoke drifting down from Canada because research on health effects comes largely from regions where people are exposed to wildfire smoke for weeks at a time, year after year. Particulates from wildfire smoke enter most buildings in high concentrations, experts say. Bein of UC Davis compared indoor wildfire smoke exposure to second-hand tobacco smoke exposure.

☆ JPMorgan agrees to purchase $200 million worth of carbon removal
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-23 | by ( Catherine Clifford | In Catclifford | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

JPMorgan Chase announced Tuesday that it has agreed to spend more than $200 million on a combination of carbon removal technologies. The investment in carbon removal and long-term contracts with carbon removal companies is both a move to support the still nascent carbon removal industry and will enable the bank to remove the equivalent of the carbon emissions that are otherwise hard to abate from its direct operations by 2030, JPMorgan said. Climeworks is one of the market leaders in direct air capture, a process akin to vacuuming carbon dioxide out of the air. The deal with Charm aims to remove and store the equivalent of approximately 28,500 metric tons of carbon dioxide over five years. The carbon removal and storage deliveries from Charm for JPMorgan have already started, the bank said.
