Today is Pink Shirt Day.

Plenty of schools and businesses in the area will be sporting pink shirts today to stand up to bullying and to raise awareness of the issues.

The Pink Shirt Day anti-bullying movement started in 2007 after a Grade 9 student from a small town in Nova Scotia was bullied for wearing a pink T-shirt to school.

As a show of support and acceptance, two older students purchased 50 pink tank tops and handed them out to male classmates the next day, and Pink Shirt Day was born.

The hashtags #PinkShirtDay, #BeKind and #PinkItForward are all being used.

In August, a woman in Tokyo had an emergency C-section at just 24 weeks and gave birth to a baby boy who was only 9.45 ounces.

That tiny baby has made a giant comeback. Over the course of the past several months, he’s managed to pack on 12 times his birth weight. He’s now up to seven pounds, two ounces.

Yesterday he was sent home from the hospital, totally healthy and that makes him the smallest baby boy ever to survive.

The smallest girl who’s ever survived was 8.89 ounces. She was born in Germany in 2015.  Only 23 babies worldwide who weighed under 10.58 ounces have ever survived and only four of them are male.

The littlest miracle! https://t.co/sj1ofe5nGg

Scientists have figured out how to harvest your hair follicle cells, ‘bank’ them in a lab as an insurance policy if you go bald, then clone them to create as many as you need.

Surgeons at HairClone said it could be available soon, but at a hefty price.

Hair follicles can be ‘banked’ and used later in life during balding https://t.co/1UdAKWbvmZ via @MailOnline
