As the summer season kicks off, many may find themselves increasingly exposed to the sun. Dr. Renee Beach, a dermatologist, told CTV’s Your Morning on Monday that without skin protection, this exposure can cause DNA damage, which could develop into skin cancer.
Beach says although many may only wear sunscreen in the summer, protecting the skin should be a “year-round thing.”
“Even when we can’t see the sun…we still have UVA (Ultraviolet A),” she said. “So that’s the rays that come through windows (and) windshields, it’s the ones that we see coming off sometimes the reflection of snow, for example.”…

Will smashing plates and TVs at Saint John’s first ‘rage room’ help your mental health?
Destroying a computer with a blunt object is a lot of work.
The aluminum bat connects with the steel case with a soft, metallic crunch. The first swing barely dents the tower. It takes a good half-dozen more hard strikes to pop the side panel off, sending the fan, power cables, and plastic bits spinning out onto the floor.
For many people, it might feel odd — even slightly wrong — to unleash their inner Hulk on defenseless office gear.

Quinoa Beet Salad – JennifersKitchen
Let me be very clear. I do not like beets. I’ve spent over fifty years disliking beets.
I’ve tried them boiled (gag-inducing), roasted (almost tolerable, but no), raw (the additional chewing required just prolongs the misery), and picked (where’s the bathroom?).
To me, beets taste like garden dirt laced with a little bit of sugar. Interestingly, there is validity to that perception. Beets contain a naturally-occurring compound called geosmin, and geosmin gives beets their dirt-like . . . er. . . earthy flavour.
Some people like this earthy flavor.
I’m not one of them.
Just as interesting – at least…

Mucho protein, amigo
I found a review article at Animal Frontiers that makes the argument in favor of meat consumption. The authors admit little focus on the downsides of eating meat. I’ve been cutting back on my meat consumption out of sympathy for the animals. Here are some of the key points verbatim:
Aspects of human anatomy, digestion, and metabolism diverged from other primates, indicating evolutionary reliability on, and compatibility with, substantial meat intake. Implications of a disconnect from evolutionary dietary patterns may contribute to today’s burden of disease, increasing the risk for both…

Tentative deal halts strike action by thousands of Manitoba health-care workers, days before deadline
Strike action by about 6,500 rural paramedics and emergency dispatch, respiratory therapists, lab and diagnostic technologists, and other allied health professionals throughout Manitoba will not go as planned this week, after Shared Health reached a tentative agreement in principle with their union, the provincial organization announced on Monday.
On June 1, the Manitoba Association of Health Care Professionals (MAHCP) threatened strike action if it did not accept a new collective agreement by 8 am on Thursday.
Members had voted 99 per cent in favor of a strike mandate in April. Their union said earlier this month that members had gone…
