Christmas cheer without the tears: keeping pets safe through the festive season
The holiday period is a time of joy, indulgence and togetherness. For many of us that includes our four-legged family members. Pets often find themselves at the centre of the celebrations - relaxing under the tree, fronting family photos or eagerly waiting for scraps from the Christmas table.

[TIFF 2019]: Not Even Natalie Portman Can Save LUCY IN THE SKY From Disaster
Lucy in the Sky, the feature film directorial debut from writer/producer of Fargo and Legion Noah Hawley, was a film that topped many most anticipated lists for TIFF (mine included), but it unfortunately, it quickly found its way to the top of a different list: the worst of TIFF (joining the ranks of films such as Life Itself from last year’s lineup).
TIFF 2019: HONEY BOY Shines
It is difficult to truly talk about this film in that it is one of the most deeply personal and vulnerable films I have ever seen. It is also difficult to see this as anything other than a powerful and impactful masterpiece. Plainly put, this film is truth, it is pain, and it is raw emotion.

Sb@Ni12@Sb20-/+ and Sb@Pd12@Sb20n Cluster Anions, Where n = +1, −1, −3, −4: Multi-Oxidation-State Clusters of Interpenetrating Platonic Solids
K Sb and K Sb Zintl ion precursors react with Pd(PPh ) in ethylenediamine/toluene/PBu + solutions to give crystals of Sb@Pd @Sb n–/PBu + salts, where n = 3, 4. The clusters are structurally identical in the two charge states, with nearly perfect I point symmetry, and can be viewed as an Sb@Pd icosahedron centered inside of an Sb dodecahedron. The metric parameters suggest very weak Sb–Sb and Pd–Pd interactions with strong radial Sb–Pd bonds between the Sb and Pd shells.
