Summer In Style Guide: The Rooted Collection
A list of the best summer items deeply tied to Texas' culture, style, and people. The only style guide you'll need this season.
By TM Promotions
Brought to you by Wrangler
Words by Arielle Avila
This summer, you might be traveling far and wide or making trips to the Hill Country or enjoying backyard cookouts with friends. But no matter where you go, be sure to keep Texas close with you. We've rounded up the best of the state's products rooted in what it means to be Texan. From a hat that beckons Gulf Coastal vibes and modern cowboy denim to dinnerware handmade by Texan artisans and a cookbook by one of the greatest pitmasters, this curated collection shows the vast reasons why Texas is great. Wear Texas proudly.
Grown, cut and sewn in the Texas, the Wrangler Rooted Collection™ represents a triumph in sustainability. Featuring custom shanks, rivets, patches and pocket prints, the details of these premium jeans are a nod to the tireless work ethic and responsible land stewardship of America's cotton farmers. These jeans include features that tie back to healthy soils of a Big Spring, Texas farm. From start to finish, Wrangler's approach to this collection reflects the attitude of local farmers toward the earth: Responsible. Respectful. Rooted.
On their Texas ties:
"For fifth-generation farmers, Vance and Maddie Smith, the heritage of their Big Spring, Texas farm is a point of pride: "I've got ground that I still farm that my great-great-grandfather broke out in the 1880's." To ensure their cotton is grown sustainably, the Smiths use sub-surface drip irrigation, reduced tillage, cover crops, and crop rotation. Healthy soils management is an absolute necessity for their farm, Vance says. "We're trying to grow the best fiber that we possibly can. I hope that's passed down the line, and we know that Wrangler will have a good product."
TEXAS T-SHIRT
A timeless staple to any wardrobe, Wrangler's Texas T-Shirt simply expresses exactly what makes the state unique, "Like a whole other country." Trust us when we say this rings true. Made with 100% sustainable Texas cotton, it's the perfect warm-weather tee that'll keep you feeling and looking cool.

BEXAR GOODS CO.
Named after the county that they're based out of, Bexar Goods traces its roots and influences back to Texas. The company specializes in creating leather goods that the founders themselves would use, utilizing only great quality leather and applying tedious craftsmanship. Take a look for yourself–their products are top-notch.
"We're proud to be from San Antonio and have enjoyed building our company where we grew up. While we're rooted in Texas, we're also inspired by the various places we've lived and traveled. We always try to have a good time while making quality products."
Keeper Brass Belt
Made with only the best American-sourced bridle leather, Bexar's Keeper Brass Belt is top of the line. Their belt in tan is the perfect accessory for any summer outfit, bringing a pop of lighter hues into the mix. Designed to last years of wear, the belt is made with leather that won't stretch out and will age beautifully developing a rich color and patina. Like all of Bexar's other leather goods, this is made with influences from the Texas Hill Country's ruggedness, simplicity, and timelessness.
Based in Dallas, the flip-flop company Hari Mari got its start in search of the perfect comfortable and colorful sandal. Driven by that and their mission to support kids and families battling cancer, the company has grown and expanded to sell boots, sneakers, apparel, and more. Feel good about purchasing your next pair of shoes in more ways than one.
"Our shared goal from day one was to build a best-in-class footwear brand in Hari Mari, to do so from our home state of Texas, and help a lot of brave kids along the way. Coming up short in any of these areas wasn't an option."
Retro Runner Sneakers
Start your summer on the right foot with a new pair of sneakers. Hari Mari recently released these vintage-inspired kicks that are made with versatility and comfort in mind. Designed in classic colors, these can easily pair well with jeans or shorts and a simple graphic tee. They're built with lightweight durability and dual-density memory foam inserts, so you won't want to take them off.
NOONDAY COLLECTION
Founded in 2010 by Jessica Honegger, a third-generation Texan, Noonday Collection serves as a marketplace for artisans from all across the globe. Started as an adoption fundraiser to bring her son Jack home from Rwanda, Noonday quickly gained popularity and traction and is now the world's largest fair trade accessories brand. The Austin-based company is a testament to honest and hard work paying off.
"My love for artisan-made goods can be traced back to the Fiesta weeks in my hometown of San Antonio. Some of my earliest memories are of dressing up in hand-embroidered Mexican dresses and homemade, brightly colored flower crowns. Thanks to growing up in that colorful city, I learned from a young age that handmade goods infuse style with a story. My "take the bull by the horns" entrepreneurial nature, however, comes directly from my third-generation Texan father. Like any Texan entrepreneur I have met, I am proud to have grown a brand that reaches 14 different countries around the world, but that is firmly rooted in the Lone Star State." –Jessica Honegger, Founder
Rustic Leather Wallet/Crossbody
Great for summer activities and on-the-go trips, the Rustic Leather Wallet/Crossbody can easily be transformed from a clutch to a purse or even a fanny pack. It's the perfect shade of buttery camel that matches nearly any outfit and can be worn day or night. Trade in other wallets and purses; with three pockets and four card slots, this is your go-to bag for the summer.
Grown, cut, and sewn in the USA, the Wrangler Rooted Collection represents a triumph in sustainability. From start to finish, Wrangler's approach to this collection reflects the attitude of local farmers toward the earth: Responsible. Respectful. Rooted.
"I've got ground that I still farm that my great-great-grandfather broke out in the 1880s."
Texas Slim Fit Jean
There's nothing more Texan than a classic pair of Wranglers, except, maybe a pair of Wranglers made with 100% sustainable cotton from Texas. These slim fit jeans represent Texas pride in every way; they're durable, they feature a Texas patch, and the farmer's story on the inner pocket. Great for barbecues, cookouts, and more. Sustainability, and Texas, have never looked so good.
A majority of Howler's products are designed with inspiration from coastal sports such as surfing and fly fishing, meaning they're made with attention to detail and functionality at the forefront.

With their headquarters in Austin, Howler Brothers is constantly pulling from Texan influences and collaborating with artists and craftsmen.

Founded by Holly Thaggard in 2007, Supergoop! has been dedicated to providing a range of skincare products with plenty of SPF. Headquartered in San Antonio, today, they offer a wide range of clean, highly innovative formulas that collectively meet the needs of every skin type and tone.
"I moved to Texas after college, and I ended up starting my family (and Supergoop!) in San Antonio. I founded the brand in 2007 after a close friend of mine got skin cancer, and we've been on a mission to change the way the world thinks about sunscreen ever since."
New ZincScreen
Zincscreen 100% Mineral Lotion SPF 40 is the newest addition to their lineup, and it's simply the best mineral face SPF out there. It caters to those with sensitive, oily or acne-prone skin, and it has sun, blue light, and pollution protection––plus an amazing texture, too. This is the perfect every day, every occasion sunscreen.
Dallas-based company Jack Black saw a scarcity of effective, quality skincare products for the modern man and did something about it. Nineteen years ago, they created a line committed to no-nonsense products using the best ingredients that works exactly as advertised. Now, they remain one of the best-selling men's skincare brands and have expanded to include face, shave, body, and hair product lines. Pamper yourself this summer with their products–you deserve it.

AARON FRANKLIN
Aaron Franklin's best known for his Austin-based restaurant, Franklin's Barbecue, where you can find a line out the door of people waiting for his mouth-watering brisket. He's also written a best-selling book, Franklin Barbecue: A Meat Manifesto in case you're interested in becoming a pitmaster yourself and his newest book all about steak.
"My love of steak goes back a long way. When I was a kid, it was a huge, really big deal if we ate steaks for dinner. My folks cooked and stuff, but not like we cook today. It was the 1970s and 1980s, you know, and Tuna Helper was standard pantry fare and pretty darn good. But steak night was an event. In Bryan, Texas, where I was born, my dad was actually a restaurant manager at a steak house. I'd guess my dad used a few tricks from that stint when he cooked for us."

"Growing up in Austin, summers meant Memorial Day on the ranch in Kerrville, road trips to Schlitterbahn and an annual trip with my best friend to Port Aransas. We now cool down at Buescher State Park or floating down the Colorado River near our new home and studio in Smithville."
Tide Pool Cena Plate
Up your table-setting game this season by swapping out your paper plates for an elegant dinnerware set. The Tide Pool Cena Plates are timeless dining statements that are simple enough to let any meal shine. Their slim design also makes for easier stacking (and washing), which is always a plus.

The duo expanded to selling textiles in 2011 from their beginnings of designing furniture for Texas establishments like Austin's Hotel San Jose and Marfa's Thunderbird Hotel.
"Jamey and I have been based in Marfa, Texas since 2003, where we started our furniture/textile design business, Garza Marfa. Jamey is originally from Austin and we met in San Francisco, my hometown. While we both hold onto our Texas and California backgrounds, our Garza Marfa designs have a quest for simplicity and depth that is uniquely informed by the land, sky, color, and light of the high plains desert of far west Texas."
Linen Cross Back Apron
Protect your fresh outfits from any sauces or spills all while looking and feeling cool. The Linen Cross Back Apron was created with comfort and style in mind with its ultra-soft cotton/linen weave and vintage design. This cross-back apron is the best way to bring out West Texas style while skipping the desert heat.

Discovery 78 years later…two mistakenly replaced in the maternity hospital
Two men revealed that they were replaced at birth in a hospital in West Virginia, USA about 80 years ago, and they were sent home with their parents, a mistake that was only recently discovered thanks to a DNA test, according to the British newspaper Daily Mail.
John William Carr III and Jackie Lee Spencer are now suing the Parish of Welling Charleston, due to negligence by the hospital where they were born.
Carr and Spencer were born on August 29, 1942 at St. Joseph's Hospital in Canon. The Dominion Post initially reported that their joint case, filed at the Monongalia District Court, says that employees of the parish-run hospital sent them home with the two wrong families.
The case arose last year when DNA tests revealed that Carre and Spencer had no genetic identities with the two families they lived with, but that they matched with each other's families, as the two men assert in their complaint.
In the lawsuit, the two men say they and their families have suffered "lifelong consequences" as a result of the switch, and are looking for unspecified compensation.
The spokesperson, Tim Bishop, said that the diocese does not comment on the pending claims.
In a phone conversation with the "Daily Mail" on Tuesday, Attorney General Charles Crookes said that Spencer had spent decades searching for the man included in his birth certificate as his biological father, Shirley Spencer. He was told that the man abandoned his mother before he was born.
When Spencer was 11, his mother handed him an old photo of the man she believed to be his biological father and shared some details of his autobiography.
After the man's relatives were found on a website, Spencer performed a DNA test to see if it was linked to him and found that it was not. The additional DNA test also showed that he was unrelated to any of the people with whom he grew up and believed to be members of his family.
It turned out that the tests showed that he was really associated with the Carr family, and after much scrutiny he knew that Carr was born on the same day at St. Joseph's Hospital.
Spencer and his wife, Phyllis, called Baccar, who agreed to take a DNA test that, showed he was connected to people whom Spencer believed were his relatives.
Crocs say in the lawsuit that Spencer, who is now in his late seventies, did not meet many of his family members.
According to the lawsuit, many of the people Spencer should have known throughout his life were gone, and she continued, "He feels as though most of his family members have died at once. He is saddened by the loss of the life he was supposed to lead while balancing the feeling of love and gratitude he feels for the family he has known throughout his life.
Karr, who has blue eyes like most of the Spencer family, said he looked different from the family he grew up with, and he always felt he was not in the right place.
"Well, I never felt fit here because my mother and father had brown hair and brown eyes, as did my brother and sister," he explained in the lawsuit.
His lawyer explained that Carre's father "often commented that John did not look like his son, and he was not very kind about it.

Q: If $n \circ m$ is monic, can $n$ ever be NOT monic? My text book asks me to come up with an example when $n \circ m$ is monic, thoguht $n$ itself is not. Consider following proof:
Given: $(n \circ m) \circ f = (n \circ m) \circ g \implies f = g$ which is the same as $n \circ (m \circ f) = n \circ (m \circ g) \implies f = g$ (associativity, thank you!). Lemma: $\forall k: f = g \implies k \circ f = k \circ g$. By the given lemma $f = g \implies (m \circ f) = (m \circ g)$, which is
$$n \circ (m \circ f) = n \circ (m \circ g) \implies (m \circ f) = (m \circ g) \implies f = g$$
Clearly, both $n, m$ are monics, thus there exists no case when $m$ is monic and yet $n$ isn't.
Am I right or my proof is wrong?

A: In SET, we have that the includion $m\colon\{a\}\to\{a,b\}$ is monic, the constant map $n\colon \{a,b\}\to\{a\}$ is not monic, and yet $n\circ m$ is monic. For other categories it is often (e.g., when finite direct sums exist) just as easy to come up with similar counterexamples.

Anxiety as a Valerian Root: What Is It? Does It Work? -
Anxiety as a Valerian Root: What Is It? Does It Work?
Health Care News Uncategorized
by Rodrigo Ferdinand
IIf you're looking for a natural option to help with anxiety in addition to, or instead of, other treatments like prescription anxiety medication, then you may be curious to know more about valerian root.
Valerian is a plant originally from Asia and Europe, although it's now also grown in North America. Valerian root has been used throughout time for its calming properties, and has earned the nickname "nature's Valium," says Dr. Alex Dimitriu, who's double board-certified in psychiatry and sleep medicine and the founder of Menlo Park Psychiatry & Sleep Medicine in Menlo Park, California.
Because of its reputation as a source of calm, those who use valerian root say that it has helped with their anxiety. It's also touted as a sleep aid, with benefits including improvement in deep sleep and helping someone to fall asleep faster, says Dr. Jacob Teitelbaum, a board-certified internist based in Kailua Kona, Hawaii, and author of "From Fatigued to Fantastic!" It helps some people improve sleep without the "hungover" feeling that certain sleep medications can cause, like those in a class called sedative-hypnotics. This medication class includes benzodiazepines and barbiturates.
Valerian root also is used for headaches and premenstrual syndrome, according to the National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health, though there's less research done to prove its effectiveness in these areas.
How Does Valerian Root Work?
Valerian root is thought to be effective for anxiety because it has compounds that help calm the central nervous system, says Dr. Cindy Tsai, an integrative physician and life coach based in San Diego. It also is believed to increase levels of a calming neurotransmitter in the brain called gamma-aminobutyric acid, or GABA. This neurotransmitter can lower anxiety and stress.
Valerian root also has other compounds, such as lignans and valerenic acid, that can increase levels of serotonin and adenosine. These are chemicals that help control mood and sleep, Tsai says.
Valerian root is available in several forms:
Capsule.
Extract.
Pill.
Powder.
Tea.
Although some people enjoy the taste of valerian root tea, the smell isn't always pleasant, Teitelbaum says. He likens it to the smell of catnip. The University of Michigan Health website describes the smell like that of sweaty socks.
Is Valerian Root Effective for Anxiety?
For some people, valerian root can be an effective choice for lessening feelings of anxiety. "It can be helpful for patients with mild to moderate anxiety who are interested in trying an herbal option with fewer side effects," Tsai says.
Dimitriu has found it effective in some patients both for anxiety and sleep because of its mild sedating effect. It's especially worked well as a tea brewed in the evening and "steeped strong" – you can do this by covering the mug and allowing it to steep for a few minutes.
Dosing for valerian root will depend on the form you're using. Teitelbaum recommends 200 to 800 mg daily of valerian root extract spread over two to three times a day, or a full dose just at night before going to sleep. Doses that are higher than recommended may lead to a hungover feeling, he adds. Teitelbaum also recommends combining it with hops or lemon balm extract for better effectiveness.
Keep in mind that supplements such as valerian root aren't regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. That means that there's less research to show how effective they are. Plus, product quality may vary.
The federal government's National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health says there's not enough evidence yet to conclude whether or not valerian root is effective for anxiety.
Valerian Root for Anxiety: What You Need to Know
One advantage of valerian root for anxiety is that aside from the smell, its downsides are minimal, Dimitriu says. "At worst, it does nothing. At a minimum, it's part of a healthy winding-down ritual in the evening," he explains. Dimitriu is referring to a nightly routine that encourages your body to calmly get ready for bed. "At best, it lowers anxiety and improves sleep quality," he adds.
Abnormal heartbeats.
Mental fogginess.
Nausea.
Stomach cramps.
Feeling more stimulated instead of calmed by it, which happens in a small percentage of those who use it, Teitelbaum says.
There also are some people who should avoid the use of valerian root or use it with caution, including those who:
Are pregnant. That's because there's not much research about its safety for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Are using other sedative medications like sleep aids because the sedative effect from those meds along with the valerian root may be too strong. This is also why you shouldn't use it in combination with alcohol, which is sedating, Tsai says. You also don't want to combine it with melatonin, another type of natural supplement known to help with sleep. Check with your doctor before using valerian root if you're on an antidepressant.
Have liver disease. It may slow down the way that your body breaks down medications in your liver.
Always check with your healthcare provider to make sure valerian root won't interact with other medications that you use.
Valerian root is more effective when used consistently over time versus just for one day or night. It may take six weeks to notice a difference from valerian root, Tsai says. If you need a quick fix for anxiety or insomnia, you may want to choose something faster acting in addition to, or in place of, valerian root.
Other Treatments for Anxiety
If you're considering valerian root for anxiety, remember that other non-pharmacologic therapies also may help you. These include:
Changes to your diet. This includes avoiding foods and beverages linked to anxiety, like drinks high in caffeine or processed sugars.
Essential oils like lavender because its scent has been shown to calm the brain and body without having a sedating effect.
More physical activity.
Relaxation and mindfulness techniques.
Speaking with a therapist.
