BOTOX Cosmetic may cause loss of strength or general muscle weakness, vision problems, or dizziness within hours to weeks of taking BOTOX Cosmetic. If this happens, do not drive a car, operate machinery, or do other dangerous activities.
Serious and/or immediate allergic reactions have been reported. They include: itching, rash, red itchy welts, wheezing, asthma symptoms, or dizziness or feeling faint. Get medical help right away if you are wheezing or have asthma symptoms, or if you become dizzy or faint.
Do not receive BOTOX Cosmetic if you : are allergic to any of the ingredients in BOTOX Cosmetic (see Medication Guide for ingredients); had an allergic reaction to any other botulinum toxin product such as Myobloc (rimabotulinumtoxinB), Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA), or Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA); have a skin infection at the planned injection site.
Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, including: plans to have surgery; had surgery on your face; have trouble raising your eyebrows; drooping eyelids; any other abnormal facial change; are pregnant or plan to become pregnant (it is not known if BOTOX Cosmetic can harm your unborn baby); are breast-feeding or plan to (it is not known if BOTOX Cosmetic passes into breast milk).
Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Using BOTOX Cosmetic with certain other medicines may cause serious side effects. Do not start any new medicines until you have told your doctor that you have received BOTOX Cosmetic in the past.
Tell your doctor if you have received any other botulinum toxin product in the last 4 months; have received injections of botulinum toxin such as Myobloc, Dysport, or Xeomin in the past (tell your doctor exactly which product you received); have recently received an antibiotic by injection; take muscle relaxants; take an allergy or cold medicine; take a sleep medicine; take aspirin-like products or blood thinners.

Linguine with Clams is is an Italian pasta that I probably crave more than any other (if I absolutely had to pick just one)! Serve it with a Lemon Parmesan Lettuce Salad, crispy, pillow piece of freshly baked focaccia and a crisp white wine.
There are several varieties of clams you can use for this dish. Opt for small clams, as they are the most tender and also tend to have the most flavor (cherrystones are too big).
My three favorite clams for spaghetti alle vongole are:
For short-term storage, place the clams in a large bowl and scatter a handful of ice cubes on them. Cover them with damp paper towels to retain moisture and put them in the refrigerator until you are ready to prepare them.
This pasta is definitely company-worthy, especially for a casual dinner party, where everyone can have fun digging in and twirling their spaghetti. Start things off with a salad course, like this refreshing radicchio salad to wake up your palate.
Spaghetti alle Vongole immediately transports me back to Italy. The simplest of ingredients come together to create the most wonderful, light, briny, herbaceous pasta dish. Notes of white wine, fresh parsley, tomato, fresh clams, garlic, shallots, and crushed red pepper marry together in this Neapolitan classic.
The wonderful clam liquor (a fancy way of saying the juices that are released in the process of steaming clams) with the white wine, butter, garlic, and shallots is SUCH an incredible combination. The clams do all the work for us!
Although these littlenecks sure are beautiful, the clams in Italy were absolutely stunning. They were a little smaller, and the inside of the shells were this bright, deep purple color. They were perfectly sweet and briny, and I will never forget the taste.

Heat a separate large pot or dutch oven over medium to medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the garlic, shallot, and crushed red pepper. Saut for 30 seconds - 1 minute or until fragrant. Add the chopped tomatoes and season with salt and pepper. Saut for another minute or so. Add the clams and stir gently. Add the white wine and increase heat to high. Cover and simmer for 5-8 minutes, reducing the heat as needed. You will know the clams are cooked once they open completely. Discard any clams that do not open.
Meanwhile, cook the pasta until al dente. Drain well, and return to the pot you cooked the pasta in. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons butter to the pasta and season with a pinch of salt. Pour the clam mixture over the pasta and toss gently to combine. Finish with the chopped parsley. Season with additional salt and pepper, if needed. Serve immediately.

The Little Auk Alle alle is a small planktivorous auk breeding colonially in the High Arctic. Owing to its large population size and bi-environmental lifestyle, resulting in the large-scale transport of matter from sea to land, the Little Auk is one of the most important components of the marine and terrestrial ecosystems in the Arctic. As a result of globalization, which facilitates access to remote areas of the Earth, a growing number of studies is being dedicated to this endemic Arctic seabird. Research has focussed primarily on the importance of the Little Auk as an ecological indicator reacting to the climatic and oceanological changes that are particularly evident in the Arctic as a result of Arctic amplification (warming is more rapid in the Arctic than in any other region on Earth). Importantly, the species is also used as a model to investigate matter and energy flow through the ecosystem, mate choice, parental care and biological rhythms. Here, we review the natural history of the Little Auk, highlighting studies with the potential to provide answers to universal questions regarding the response of seabirds to climate variability and avian reproductive behaviour, e.g. threshold of foraging flexibility in response to environmental variability, carry-over effects between the breeding and non-breeding periods, the reasons for the transition from bi- to uni-parental care, parental coordination mechanisms.
The Arctic is a unique region on Earth, characterized as it is by a lower biodiversity and less complex food webs compared to those encountered at lower latitudes (Gauthier et al. 2011; Legagneux et al. 2012). Such a system offers an excellent platform for various studies on behavioural and evolutionary ecology that would be hard to perform in more complex environments. It serves as a natural laboratory where one can carry out experiments under fairly controllable circumstances. The uniqueness of the Arctic is also highlighted in the context of ongoing climate changes, as this region is disproportionally affected by climate warming, a phenomenon known as Arctic amplification (Serreze and Barry 2011; Zonn et al. 2017; IPCC 2019). This is bringing about major changes to ecosystem productivity and species distributions (Holland et al. 2001; Steinacher et al. 2009; IPCC 2019), to which endemic species, adapted to harsh Arctic conditions, are particularly susceptible. Such species are therefore often excellent models for monitoring the condition and health of this polar environment.
