October 19, 2012 — xanthippaRaw milk symposium coming up in British Columbia:
‘Cowshare Canada presents the Fourth Annual International Raw Milk Symposium: Milk and our Children’s Future. The event will be held on Saturday, October 20, 2012, 8:30 am – 5:45 pm at the Delta Hotel near the Vancouver, International Airport. It is open to the public.
The Weston A. Price Foundation (WAPF), a U.S. based nutrition education non-profit is co-sponsoring the event. Sally Fallon Morell, WAPF founder and president, will speak on the superior body building and immune building properties of raw milk baby formula. Morell is widely credited for bringing about a resurgence of interest in farm-fresh milk with her science-based approach to educating parents about good nutrition.
Dr. Robert W. Buckingham, executive director of the School of Public Health, University of Saskatchewan will give the keynote address, Bridging Government Policy and Freedom of Choice, and in another session will explore ways to find common ground on the issue.’

Ok, OK, I know I am jumping the shark here a little bit, but I just cannot resist…..
Since we are on the topic of Quantum Mechanics, just a bit more brain-candy: here is Richard Feynman on QM part 1: corpuscles of light!
An excellent video on evolution
