Air out a memory-foam mattress to reduce its odor. Some new memory foam, also known as visco-elastic polyurethane foam, emits odors that may be bothersome at night when your face is so near the mattress, pillow or mattress topper made from the foam. Some memory foam products, such as mattresses and mattress toppers, are treated with flame-retardants to comply with federal standards regarding mattress flammability. These chemicals, also known as volatile organic compounds, "off gas" or escape from the foam, causing odor that dissipates over time. Employ a few tactics to help the odor disappear more quickly. Air It Out Remove new memory foam from the outer plastic packaging surrounding it. If possible, place the foam outdoors for at least a few hours on a dry, non-humid day. A porch will suffice if you'd rather not leave it out in the open. If you're unable to take the foam mattress, pillow or topper outdoors, prop it up in a room against a chair or wall so it ventilates from all sides. Open the windows and turn on a window fan drawing air out of the room.
The longer the foam product airs out, the less noticeable the odor will be. Baking Soda Solution Baking soda -- the same type used to deodorize a refrigerator -- also helps de-fume memory foam. After airing out the memory foam, sprinkle baking soda all over the mattress, topper or pillow and allow it to sit for an hour or so. Vacuum away the baking soda with an upholstery brush attachment. Apply the baking soda directly on the foam object, rather than on a sheet or pillowcase, for best results. Room Refresher A brand new memory foam mattress may make the entire room smell for a few days. Place a bowl of white vinegar in the room to help remove the odor from the air; as the mattress off-gases, airborne odors will be absorbed. If you don't care for the smell of vinegar, place the vinegar in the room and leave it out all day while you're away, then dump the vinegar down the drain before bedtime. Vinegar also helps deodorize drains. Keep It Fresh Mattresses, pillows and bedding absorb sweat simply from sleeping on them;
memory foam is no different. Keep the mattress smelling its best by letting it air out for a few hours when it is time to wash the bedding. Remove all bed linens and let the mattress breathe; if the room has a ceiling fan, run it on "high" speed to help dry any moisture in the foam. Sprinkle baking soda over the mattress as it airs out, then vacuum away the powder with an upholstery brush attachment.

#mattress, #sleep, #cozypure, #organic, #healthy Cette fameuse question turlupine bien des épargnants alors que la saison des REER se termine le 29 février. Pourtant, il y a une façon d'épargner encore plus payante pour les familles... et j'ai nommé le régime enregistré d'épargne-études (REEE). Malheureusement, peu de Québécois ont réellement conscience des avantages du REEE, si je me fie à un sondage diffusé lundi par Universitas, chef de file de l'épargne-études. En effet, à peine 9 % des familles ayant des enfants priorisent le REEE, contre 52 % pour le REER et 33 % pour le CELI. Il faut croire que les alléchantes subventions associées au REEE restent encore méconnues, même si le programme créé il y a 18 ans a atteint sa maturité. C'est peut-être parce que les règles du REEE sont relativement complexes et que les institutions financières ne font pas de battage publicitaire comme pour le REER. En cotisant 2500 $ par année, les parents peuvent toucher la subvention annuelle maximale de 750 $ par enfant.

One day, when my brother was 18, he waltzed into the living room and proudly announced to my mother and me that one day he was going to be a senator. My mom probably gave him the “That’s nice, dear,” treatment while I’m sure I was distracted by a bowl of Cheerios or something.
But for fifteen years, this purpose informed all of my brother’s life decisions: what he studied in school, where he chose to live, who he connected with and even what he did with many of his vacations and weekends. And now, after almost half a lifetime of work later, he’s the chairman of a major political party in his city and the youngest judge in the state. In the next few years, he hopes to run for office for the first time. Don’t get me wrong. Most of us have no clue what we want to do with our lives.

So when people say, “What should I do with my life?” What's Wrong with Cultural Appropriation? These 9 Answers Reveal Its Harm. New Species Of Human Discovered In South Africa. Brace yourself: this discovery is huge. So huge that its profound implications will shake up our very own family tree. The University of Witwatersrand, in collaboration with National Geographic, is proud to announce a remarkable story of human heritage.
The discovery of an early human ancestor that sits beautifully within our own genus of Homo. I ecstatically present to you, Homo naledi. This incredible fossil find comes from the richest single hominin assemblage so far discovered in Africa. A textbook-worthy accident, H. naledi was first stumbled upon two years ago by amateur cavers during an exploration of a cave system known as Rising Star, located within South Africa’s famous Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site. That something different turned out to be not several, but 15 individuals from a single hominin species, represented by more than 1,500 fossil elements found within a single chamber in total darkness some 90 meters (295 feet) from the entrance.Text to Navajo code — Cryptii.
