Q: My dog has a really, really bad case of dog breath. We’ve tried mint-flavored treats, but his breath is still barking pretty loud. Do you know of any natural remedies? A: One thing I hate more than bad breath is bad breath punctuated by a bottom note of peppermint. Yuck. My sister’s sweet pooch is a delightful mess of cute, gray curls. But recently she, too, developed an acute case of doggie halitosis....

Turgor pressure, also called turgidity when occurring in trees and most plants are the pressure of cell contents exerted against the plant cell wall including tree leaf and stem cells. A turgid plant cell contains more water and minerals in solution than flaccid (deflated) plant cells and exerts a greater osmotic pressure on its cell membrane and walls. So, turgor is a force exerted outward on a plant cell by the water contained within the sturdy cell wall....

Coming into the finale, many were worried that there was no chance Moon Knight could pull off a satisfying conclusion in the short runtime the episode presented. Yet, somehow, it seems the story pulled it off, for the most part. Despite being the shortest finale of any MCU Disney+ project to date, its breakneck pacing allowed for the story to hit nearly all the beats it needed to. Warning - the rest of this article contains spoilers for Episode 6 of Moon Knight....

One ironic critique of veganism is the argument that “since animals die or are harmed in the production of products human beings can not fully avoid, there’s no such thing as a true vegan, and whether directly or indirectly, vegans kill animals.” In fact, there’s a popular but misleading infographic that points out the many ways—obvious and not so obvious—that animal products are used in common consumer goods. However, the creator of that infographic misinterprets what veganism is, as well as how easy it is to avoid most animal products....

It’s cold outside. Really cold. So it’s no surprise that interest in cheaper, more sustainable ways to warm your home tends to, ahem, heat up this time of year.

Heat the person, not the house Some time back, I wrote about permaculture blogger Paul Wheaton’s video, explaining how he has slashed heating bills by focusing on heating the person, not the house....

After I asked Can we get rid of plastic foam in our buildings?, the tweet came through in response: “YES! We’re growing high-performance insulation materials that are renewable and far safer than EPS or XPS!” It was from the gang at Ecovative, known to TreeHuggers as the inventors of myco-foam technology, where they use fungi to bind agricultural waste into a substitute for stryofoam. Up until now they have been mainly selling packaging materials, but the green building material world is a much bigger market that is screaming for this kind of thing....

Tea played an important part in the early history of the United States. The Boston Tea Party of 1773 — when 342 chests of tea were destroyed to protest a tax on tea, among other things — was one of the events that helped instigate the Revolutionary War. Though coffee culture is more dominant in the U.S., tea is still widely consumed, but almost all the leaves that make their way into American teapots are imported....

Marvel Studios’ Fantastic Four is arguably one of the MCU’s most anticipated new entries after Disney regained the rights to the characters from 20th Century Fox. This comes more than a decade after the team got their first true live-action adaptations in their 2005 and 2007 solo movies, which heavily featured future MCU icon Chris Evans as Johnny Storm. Four years after Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer came to theaters, Evans began his unforgettable run as Captain America for Marvel Studios, finishing his run with 2019’s Avengers: Endgame....

Thor: Love and Thunder is expected to dive into the comedic side of the franchise, especially considering that Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi is involved.

Even as more actors began discussing their own roles in No Way Home, Molina became the poster boy for spoilers that Marvel and Sony Pictures tried to keep under wraps....

The anticipation is high for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, mainly because it will feature the first official meeting between Elizabeth Olsen’s Wanda Maximoff and Benedict Cumberbatch’s Doctor Strange. Directed by Sam Raimi, the sequel to 2016’s Doctor Strange will showcase an in-depth look at the MCU’s multiverse, but the madness part of the title spells trouble for the whole ordeal.

The Infinity Stones were once the foundation upon which the Marvel Cinematic Universe was built on. After Avengers: Endgame, and all the ramifications that came after, the MCU has a new narrative tool: the Multiverse. It’s one of near-limitless potential—anything can happen.
