With this in mind, the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority (CATSA) is giving travellers some valuable suggestions to increase the speed of screening: • Liquids, aerosols, creams, gels or other personal toiletries packed in carry-on baggage must be in contain- ers of 100 ml or less and placed in a the tray at security checkpoints, while electronic items such as cellphones, MP3 devices and portable DVD players can remain in your carry-on bag- gage. • Prescription medication in liquid form is exempt from 100- ml carry-on restrictions, provided the container is clearly labelled and displays the name matching the pas- senger's boarding pass. • Passengers with Nexus cards, fami- lies and travellers with special needs can use dedicated security lines. Additional information rules and restrictions can be found online at www.catsa.gc.ca, or on the mobile site at m.catsa.gc.ca. — www.newscanada.com Omega what? For the past 20 years, DHA omega-3 has been associated with supporting heart health, and the good news is increasing. Jane Dummer, a registered dietitian, explains: "Research suggests that con- suming DHA omega-3 might be beneficial for cognitive health in our later years." DHA omega-3 is a type of essential fat found naturally in the body, and we need to get enough of it through our diet to maintain and support proper brain, eye and heart health. It is important for adults to obtain adequate amounts of DHA in their diets. Sources include fatty fish such as salmon, sardines and tuna. — www.newscanada.com Warm up in style They're baa-aack! For the third year in a row, Winnipeg's Assiniboine Credit Union River Trail has been adorned with a series of warming huts (like the one shown at right) that combine func- tionality with innovative design. Created as part of an international competi- tion, the temporary structures dot the frozen, 3.2-kilometre skating trail which runs along the Red River from The Forks to Churchill Drive. In addi- tion to a local offering from students at the University of Manitoba and a hut designed by renowned architect Frank Gehry, who was invited to participate, this year's cho- sen entries come from New York, Norway and Czech Republic. The 2012 huts will join several huts created in previous years. Open until March (weath- er permitting), access to the trail is free, while skate rentals are available at The Forks. Looking for some- thing to do in the waning weeks of winter? Why not strap on a pair of skates and check out these win- ners for yourself? — Staff 6 February 2012 Winnipeg Boomer Photograph by Dan Harper
