Collecting and Storing Breastmilk During the COVID Pandemic COLLECTING AND STORING BREASTMILK DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC Breastmilk is the BEST source of nutrition for infants. It is very unlikely that COVID-19 will be passed through your breastmilk. The COVID-19 infection does not mean you have to stop breastfeeding. Just include respiratory protection when you are near your baby. The benefits of skin to skin and breastfeeding of breastmilk feeds outweighs the risks of transmission of COVID-19.

  • Analysis of Milk Dispensers and Milk Cartons for Auburn School District
    1 Analysis of Milk Dispensers and Milk Cartons for Auburn School District Prepared by King County Green Schools Program with support from City of Auburn (January 2021) Table of Contents Executive Summary Key Terms Summary of Benefits, Savings, and Costs Recommendations Comparative Analysis of Single-Use Milk Cartons and the Bulk Milk System Frequently Asked Questions on Bulk Milk System Implementation Summary of Resources Executive Summary Milk cartons represent a significant contribution to the solid waste generated by schools. Milk carton disposal presents challenges for custodians when students discard milk cartons that are not empty in garbage containers or recycling bins. Liquids in garbage or recycling collection bags can cause spillage when the bags are removed from collection bins, can increase the weight of bags for custodians who must lift the bags, and can create strong odors in dumpsters. When milk cartons with excess liquids are placed in outdoor recycling dumpsters or containers, excess liquid may result in contamination notices or extra fees from recycling haulers. In the Pacific Northwest, we know of two school districts that have implemented bulk milk systems in which bags of milk (from 3 to 5 gallons each) are placed in multi-spigot dispensers. The milk is served in durable cups which are washed after each use in school dishwashers along with other durable serving- ware such as trays. Olympia School District in Thurston County, Washington and Canby School District in Clackamas County, Oregon are using milk dispensers to reduce wasted milk, collection costs, and energy use. This report analyzes existing data on ASD milk carton purchases and solid waste and finds there is the potential for ASD to reduce costs by using a bulk milk system instead of single-use milk cartons.

Here are some optical illusions you can have a look at yourself and with your family Are the horizontal lines sloping or straight? Are the circles moving in the image? Is the image spinning? https://www.optics4kids.org/illusions https://sciencebob.com/see-some-optical-illusions/ Bokeh effect photography Step 1 Set up your camera on a tripod or flat surface and set your camera's aperture to the widest setting, preferably f/1.8 or f/1.4 Step 2 Set up your fairy lights. Try to spread the lights evenly across the background you plan to use. Step 3 Set up your subject. Bokeh turns out better if you place the subject at least four to five feet in front of the lights. Step 4 If you are not using a fixed lens, zoom your lens in all the way. Step 5 Focus on your subject. Try to stay close to the subject, because if you are too away from it, your bokeh will suffer and appear smaller. Step 7 Release your camera's shutter, and voila! You have produced a photo with artificial bokeh obtained from simple fairy lights. https://photography.tutsplus.com/tutorials/quick-tip-creating-artificial-bokeh-in-your-own-home--photo-5773 Toffee Apples You will need:- •4 apples, Granny Smiths work well •200g caster sugar, golden if possible •½ tsp vinegar •2 tbsp golden syrup Place the apples in a large bowl, then carefully pour over some boiling water.
