You always want your garments to still be wet when applying a waterproof or DWR treatment, after washing your garment with a technical wash, you would then put it back in the washing machine with a wash-in waterproofing treatment and run a cycle with that, or you can use a spray-on treatment and let it air dry. – Haley Huggins	Found on CNN 1 year ago
I always say to wash your gear based on how often you’re using it, if you’re camping every weekend in the summer, I would recommend washing your sleeping bag at least once in the middle of the season and then definitely at the end of the season before you store it for the winter. – Nikwax McLean	Found on CNN 1 year ago

And then, if you’re taking care of the fabric the right way too, theoretically, down jackets can be generational products. – Geoffrey Allred	Found on CNN 1 year ago
You can test the water repellency of your jacket at home with a simple test: Spray a little bit of water on your jacket using a spray bottle, if it starts to soak in or spread on the front of your coat, it’s time to re-waterproof. If the water beads on the surface of your jacket, then the waterproofing on your jacket is fine for a while longer. – Nikwax McLean	Found on CNN 1 year ago

It has been a tough year, but at the same time, I feel lucky and blessed, i am thankful she is still with us when other families may not have been so lucky. That she even had a chance at recovery when the first week in the hospital seemed so dim. – Jessica Pegula	Found on CNN 1 year ago

Even though she doesn’t like to take credit for this terrible situation, she absolutely saved her life, followed by the critical job performed by the paramedics who arrived and were able to restore a heartbeat. – Jessica Pegula	Found on CNN 1 year ago
The rhetoric in so many of my comments about childhood trauma and healing and whatever you want to say about my family, my life, my parents, whatever is not your business, as is the case wit every other person in the entire world it is not anybody else’s business what they are dealing with behind closed doors if they don’t want it to be your business. – Mady Gosselin	Found on CNN 1 year ago
Regardless of whatever narrative you have created in your head from what you’ve seen, my siblings are doing so well, they are all amazing people. They are all smart, they are all kind, they’re driven students, they’re working hard, they’re funny, they’re stylish. – Mady Gosselin	Found on CNN 1 year ago

There’s one hypothesis from a prominent mycologist who suggests that the reason the body’s temperature is 98.6 is because that is the temperature where fungi can’t grow that well. And so, now we’re seeing Candida auris and some of the other new microbes that have come up that really grow quite well – even at temperatures of 98.6 in the human body. And so I think climate change, really selecting for these organisms to adapt to a warmer climate, is going to increase the odds that there’s infection in humans. – Scott Roberts	Found on CNN 1 year ago
