THE HATEFUL EIGHT
Playing: February 12 - 13 & 16 - 18
7:00 pm (ends at 10:10pm / Includes Intermission)
Rated 18A
In Wyoming, shortly after the Civil War, bounty hunter John Ruth (Kurt Russell) is escorting a prisoner, Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh) to Red Rock by stage coach to be hanged. They're joined on the coach by another bounty hunter, Major Marquise Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), and a Confederate soldier, Mannix (Walton Goggins).
A blizzard forces the stagecoach to make a stop at Minnie's Haberdashery, where the passengers encounter four sketchy strangers: Mexican Bob (Demian Bichir), flamboyant Oswaldo Mobray (Tim Roth), cowboy Joe Gage (Michael Madsen), and Confederate General Sanford Smithers (Bruce Dern). What follows are squabbles, violence and gunplay.

“Vitamin D and musculoskeletal health: a growing body
of evidence from infancy to aging.”
Vitamin D has long been known for its functional role in the prevention of rickets, osteomalacia and osteoporosis. Early research demonstrated that rickets and osteomalacia associate with proximal muscle weakness. Today, most Canadian’s have good vitamin D status. However, a significant proportion of newborn infants, Aboriginal groups and the elderly in long-term care are at an elevated risk for low vitamin D stores. Is it possible that improving vitamin D status could enhance muscle mass, reduce adiposity and improve bone health outcomes? This presentation will highlight recent surveys and trials in infants, children and aging adults that further position vitamin D in the interrelationships among muscle, fat and bone tissue.
Please join us for this talk. All members of the Western Community are welcome.
Please also share this with your labs and colleagues.
