This week we hear from Tim Dujardin, CPACC who see certification as part of the learning process: When studying for a certification, you learn new viewpoints and insights that you may not have considered before. #accessibility #certification #CPACC #IAAP https://t.co/ZLp5EAE0OU

🚀And here is part 3 of my CSS units roundup: This time about container query length units. These units are essential for modern CSS development. I’m still getting used to them myself. I had a lot of fun creating demos with these! 😍

🚀And here is part 2 of my CSS units roundup, this time about viewport units. Ever struggled with 100vw and scrollbars, then this blogpost might be for you.
Let's take a look at viewports, the ICB and the assumptions that scrollbars do not exist:

There are a lot of CSS units available at the moment - still - we mostly rely on pixels and (r)ems for our sizing and fonts. I will create a mini-series about units in CSS on the company blog. For the first part: relative length units based on font. https://t.co/UJz5BWxhJP

[Brecht @utilitybend]

Also present will be @timdujardin with some solid A11Y insight on why semantics matter! Let’s geek on an accessible web and the future of the web platform, which is brighter than ever with some food and drinks! #a11y #covenofwisdom #css #ui

[Brecht @utilitybend]

I will be talking at the Coven of Wisdom in Herentals on February 8th. I will be talking about the future of UI and the work that has been done in the @openuicg community group. A little glimpse in the future of the web. Sign up via Meetup: https://t.co/XbAF35lfBt

Let's kickoff 2024 with sharing my experiences in becoming a CPACC! 💪🎇 https://t.co/TnpvgR5Fze #IOAgency #Accessibility #IAAPCPACC

[Historic Vids @historyinmemes]

In 1922, a group of scientists went to the Toronto General Hospital where diabetic children were kept in wards, often 50 or more at a time. Most of them were comatose and dying from diabetic ketoacidosis.

These children were essentially in their death beds, awaiting what was at that time, certain death. The scientists moved swiftly and proceeded to inject the children with a new purified extract of insulin.

As they began to inject the last comatose child, the first one to be injected began to wake up. Then one by one, all the children awoke from their diabetic comas. A room that was full of death and gloom suddenly became a place of joy and hope.

In the early 1920s, Frederick Banting and Charles Best discovered insulin under John Macleod at the University of Toronto. With the help of James Collip, insulin was purified, making it available to successfully treat diabetes. Both Banting and Macleod earned Nobel Prizes for their work in 1923.

Banting was 32 when he received the Nobel Prize, and he chose to share half the prize money with Best, who was his assistant and just 24 years old at the time. Banting refused to put his name on the patent and instead sold it to the University of Toronto for $1. He thought it was unethical to profit from a discovery that would save millions of lives. "Insulin belongs to the world, not to me," he said.

Give your kids the nutrition they need, not this crap. Please be aware 🙏, focus on whole foods 💚 instead of these processed foods combined with added sugar ❌.

[Dan Go @CoachDanGo]

In one serving of Frosted Flakes, there are 12 grams of total sugar, including 12 grams of added sugar.

This is not something I'd want my kids to start their days off with.

[Dr. Spencer Nadolsky @DrNadolsky]

One reason many of my patients say they don’t exercise is because they think they need to beat themselves up for hours at a time in a gym.

Just 10-20 minutes twice a week is a great place to start that will get you results!

And you may not even need a gym!

[Tim Dujardin @timdujardin]

Also not a fan of cheat days 👎, your brain will associate junk food with your internal rewarding process. Reward yourself with more progress 😉💪

[High Performance Founder @hpfounder]

When you lose weight don't reward yourself by eating junk food.

Reward yourself with a workout to keep up the momentum.

What is sugar? https://t.co/wl9QLUGtjS

We often hear sugar is the cause of obesity and diabetes. Yet we also hear sugar is important for athletes. Is there some truth in both these messages? Here we discuss what sugar is and some of the misconceptions...

[Tim Dujardin @timdujardin]

There is no magic pill, you have to put in the work.
Invest in your body, it has so many benefits. Physical and mental health will improve along the way. ⏳💪🧠

[Asker Jeukendrup @Jeukendrup]

How would you build a pyramid? Many athletes' first sports nutrition question is about supplements, but is the base solid? Read the blog for more: https://t.co/TclhMfAXrk

[Dr. Spencer Nadolsky @DrNadolsky]

I love this which seems to be adapted from the Damian Barr quote. But it works well when talking about obesity.

NEW BLOG: Fat burners https://t.co/tpBiX5YdCp

Fat burners are generally believed to help people lose fat and they are certainly marketed as a quick and easy solution to weight loss. But can fat burners really help us lose weight?
