Those cuts are especially surprising given that President Donald Trump said he
McDonald suggested staying away from products that contain PFAS, parabens and other “forever chemicals.”She also said consumers can determine what’s in the products and their relative safety by looking at online databases, like the Breast Cancer Prevention Partners’ Campaign for Safe Cosmetics.

With public health services stretched thin in the U.K., there is no shortage of anecdotes about people suffering from true health emergencies who wait hours for medical care — whether from paramedics or a hospital doctor. But the ambulance service said 15% of its 426,000 calls last year — 175 a day — were not urgent. Some weren’t even health-related and were far from being matters of life and death.There was a call about a chipped tooth (“it’s starting to throb”), a bloody toe (“I’ve cut my little nail on the toe and I’ve nipped across the top of it.”) and a person who stuck their finger in an electrical socket who appeared to be fine (“I’m worried that I could be electrocuted”).
Then there was the call Emma Worrall took last year that she won’t soon forget.
“I remember saying ‘alligator?’ and my call-taker supervisor just looked at me and was like, ‘What is going on in your call?’” Worrall said.The idea of using small items like throw pillows to add pops of color to an interior is a direct legacy of Liebes’ influence, the curators say.
Some of Liebes’ early works include a Schiaparelli panel created for the 1937 Paris Exposition, and objects linked to the 1939 Golden Gate Exposition, where she began articulating her vision for the role of handcraft in modern design.The exhibit also showcases her contributions to creating dazzling public spaces on a budget by combining handwoven and power-loomed textiles. There are saturated brilliant colors and extensive use of metallics. Examples are the Persian Room of the Plaza Hotel (where textile panels were embedded with tiny lightbulbs); the Marco Polo Club at the Waldorf Astoria; and the Usonian Exhibition House, built on the site where the Guggenheim Museum now stands.
And Liebes helped create consumer goods, including tiles and wallpaper. She had a hand in industry’s development of synthetic materials, and worked to encourage their use by both top designers and consumers.Lurex woven fabrics, for example, in dazzling jewel tones designed to look handwoven, were favored for swimwear and raincoats, as well as washable clothing.
