October’s #FullMoon peaks in the early hours of 26 October. It is known as the Hunter’s Moon. “The moon stays longest for the Hunter now: The trees cast down their fruitage, and the blithe And busy squirrel hoards his winter store;” – John Gardiner Calkins Brainard (1796–1828).

The flu season is predicted to be a harsh one. Xofluza (baloxavir marboxil) is approved and marketed in Canada. Does your Dr know about it? Do you (or they) have flu rapid tests? Will they prescribe it? Does your pharmacy (or any) carry it? We need all the tools.

You don’t acquire this level of coordination at the gym. This is generations of Baba training. 😂🍺🐓

Today is Persons Day. This day honours The Persons Case, which ended in a victory for The Famous Five on Oct. 18, 1929. The ruling declared women to be persons under the law and qualified to sit in the Senate. Cairine Wilson became the first female Senator in 1930 📸 Wikicommons

“Pride & Prejudice” is a novel by Jane Austen. Written when she was aged 20–21. It was published in 1813. It follows Elizabeth Bennet who learns about the repercussions of hasty judgments and comes to appreciate the difference between superficial goodness & actual goodness.

On behalf of the NATO Military Committee, we extend our deepest condolences to the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives in the tragedy at CFB Wainwright, and our wishes for a full recovery to all the injured. Wainwright is where Canadian soldiers, and so many Allies with them, train for the hardest tasks of our profession. Those who fell there served our common security, and the Military Committee will honour their memory. We are grateful to the first responders, medical staff and the people of Wainwright for their courage and solidarity. @CDS_Canada_CEMD, Canada does not carry this grief alone. All 32 Allied Chiefs of Defence stand with you and the Canadian Armed Forces. 🇨🇦 * * * * * Au nom du Comité militaire de l'OTAN, on adresse nos plus sincères condoléances aux familles et aux proches des disparus de la tragédie survenue à la BFC Wainwright, ainsi que nos vœux de prompt rétablissement à tous les blessés. C'est à Wainwright que les soldats canadiens, et tant d'Alliés à leurs côtés, se préparent aux missions les plus exigeantes de notre métier. Ceux qui y sont tombés ont servi notre sécurité commune ; le Comité militaire honorera leur mémoire. Notre gratitude va aux premiers intervenants, au personnel médical et à la population de Wainwright pour leur courage et leur solidarité. @CDS_Canada_CEMD, le Canada ne porte pas ce deuil seul.

A perfect 7-habit morning done once loses to one boring habit you do every day. - That's how circadian timing, stress load, and hormone exposure actually change - through repetition, not intensity. A large analysis of over 11,000 adults found that consistent morning light exposure was more strongly linked to better sleep timing and lower depression risk than total daily light alone. The vicious cycle most of us run: Wake up → grab the phone → skip light → skip breath → drink from plastic → skip movement → feel “off” → promise a bigger reset tomorrow. Break it with one thing you won’t skip: • 10–20 min outdoor light before noon • 3 rounds of 4-7-8 before breakfast • Delay the scroll 30–60 min • Glass or stainless instead of plastic • 5 min of movement + pumpkin seeds on breakfast (~150 mg magnesium per ounce) Consistency beats the perfect plan. Which single habit are you locking in for the next 7 days—no exceptions? #MorningHabits

The Vikings loved giving cats as wedding gifts. Not only were they thought to be invaluable to brides setting up their new homes, but they were also sacred to Freya, the #Norse goddess of love, whose chariot was pulled by two giant cats. #FolkloreSunday #FairyTaleTuesday

Thank you to @FDADrugs for making ANKTIVA accessible to all patients in non muscle invasive bladder cancer who failed BCG therapy. @ImmunityBio - The first treatment approved for this group of patients. An important step for cancer immunotherapy 2.0.
Big news for bladder cancer patients! FDA just expanded approval of Anktiva with BCG for adults with BCG-unresponsive, high-grade papillary-only NMIBC — the first treatment approved for this group. This is a first, and that matters. Evidence from a closely related form of bladder cancer supported the approval. fda.gov/drugs/resources-info…
