"I've always been drawn to characters who operate outside the system — mavericks, rebels, underdogs. Han Solo embodies that independent spirit," Leevongcharoen explained in an interview. "And the pun just landed: Hen Solo. It made sense. We're a chicken shop that's marching to the beat of its own drumstick," he added about the restaurant's alluring name.
“We measured chemicals in the air of 25 children's bedrooms between the ages of 6 months and 4 years and found,” said senior study author Miriam Diamond, a professor in the Earth Sciences Department at the University of Toronto.
With babies sleeping up to 16 hours a day, their crib mattress becomes one of the most important nursery items to scrutinize., which has previously highlighted, shares what parents need to know about crib mattresses and the chemicals they may be releasing.
If you’ve ever opened a new product and been hit with a strong chemical smell, you’ve experienced off-gassing. In simple terms, off-gassing is the release of, airborne chemicals emitted as vapors from synthetic materials. That “new” smell is often a sign that your baby’s mattress (or any number of household items) is emitting potentially harmful toxins into the air.
And it doesn’t stop once the smell fades. Many materials continue to off-gas for weeks, months or even longer, releasing odorless fumes that can still impact indoor air quality. According to the recent CNN report, body heat and pressure—like your baby’s weight during sleep—can actually accelerate the release of these toxic gases.
Some VOCs are relatively harmless. But others, like those found in common crib mattress additives like, this tiny creature is one of the world’s most intriguing — and elusive — animals.
The name “chevrotain” is actually quite descriptive. It comes from French and means “kid,” “fawn,” or “goat,” which hints at the animal’s unique appearance, even though it isn’t any of those animals. You might also hear it called a “mouse-deer,” but again, it’s neither a mouse nor a deer. So, what exactly are? They belong to a unique family called
, which sets them apart from other hoofed mammals. These animals represent an evolutionary link between animals with simple stomachs, such as pigs or dogs, and those with four-chambered stomachs, like cows and deer. While chevrotains do have four stomach chambers, one of them (the omasum) is smaller and less developed than in other modern ruminants, making their digestive system somewhat intermediate.Chevrotains are also classified as ungulates and ruminants. Ungulates are simply animals with hooves. This diverse group includes well-known animals like elk, giraffes, wild boars, rhinos, camels, and bison. Ruminants are a specific type of ungulate. They are even-toed hoofed animals that chew regurgitated food. Common examples of ruminants include sheep, cows, deer, and antelopes. Millions of years ago, chevrotains were more widespread and diverse, but today only 10 species remain. These surviving species still possess many ancient, primitive features that are rarely seen in more modern mammals.
