Heart of a Lion by Tommy C

Heart of a Lion by Tommy C

Singer Tommy C dropped the music video for his single “Heart of a Lion” off his C mixtape. He wrote this song as a tribute to victims of terror, disasters, and other obstacles in life. There is courage and strength in all of us if you dig deep enough to find it. Instead of giving up, keep fighting and battle through it. The track is for those that have been caught in a struggle and have battled back to become twice as strong. Have the heart of a lion.

Once it’s created, plastic (almost) never dies. While in 12th grade Miranda Wang and Jeanny Yao went in search of a new bacteria to biodegrade plastic — specifically by breaking down phthalates, a harmful plasticizer common to flexible plastics and linked to health problems. They found an answer surprisingly close to home. And they’re still teenagers. Their work earned a regional first place in British Columbia for the 2012 Sanofi BioGENEius Challenge Canada, as well as a special award for the most commercial potential at the contest’s finals.
