YouTube Music Finally Added a Long-Missing Google Podcasts Feature

There are a lot of podcast apps out there, but the easiest one to use is the one that comes built into your phone. For Android users, that was Google Podcasts—that is, until last year, when Google killed off its flagship podcast app. Again, you have your choice among alternatives, but if you go with Google's choice, you might've found your way to YouTube Music. Like Spotify, Google's music app offers podcast support—though it's a bit more limited. If you're used to the polish and feature set of a dedicated podcast app (or, frankly, even Spotify), YouTube Music might be a tough adjustment. There are signs that things are changing, however. Google hasn't totally abandoned progress for the podcast side of YouTube Music. In fact, it's bringing a feature that was lost in the transition from Goo...

Doctors give new lease of life to man suffering from complex heart infection

Doctors at a hospital in Kolkata have successfully treated a 76-year-old male patient from Patna in Bihar, who had been battling a recurring pacemaker-related infection for nearly a decade, caused by incomplete lead removal. The complex case was treated at Manipal Hospital at EM Bypass by Dr Dilip Kumar, director - Cath Lab, senior interventional cardiologist, device and structural heart expert. The patient got a pacemaker first implanted on the right side of his chest in 2015 at a local hospital in Patna. In 2018, the pacemaker was taken out and re-implanted on the left side but the initial lead that remained from the right-side implantation was not entirely removed. Instead, it was severed and left within, which resulted in a subacute infection that gradually worsened. Though anoth...

Prime Minister Carney praises Trump as ministers jet to Sweden to talk defence deals – National

Prime Minister Mark Carney issued an unusual statement Saturday to praise U.S. President Donald Trump for trying to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine. Carney’s public endorsement of Trump’s leadership on the world stage came as the president and his Alaskan summit were widely derided by foreign policy and security experts. The get-together was of little value and gave Russian President Vladimir Putin, a former intelligence officer, an image boost, they said.In a brief statement Saturday, Carney said: “The leadership of President Trump and the United States is creating the opportunity to end Russia’s illegal war in Ukraine.”“Robust and credible security guarantees are essential to any just and lasting peace,” Carney continued. “I welcome the openness of the United States to pro...

Probiotics for preterm babies may lower antibiotic-resistant bacteria in gut

Preterm babies with very low birth weight who received a probiotic alongside antibiotics had fewer multidrug-resistant bacteria and a more typical gut microbiome, according to a study. The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, is based on a trial testing probiotics among a group of 34 preterm babies born with a very low birth weight, under 1,500g, representing around 1-1.5 per cent of babies born around the world. Researchers from the University of Birmingham in the UK sequenced gut bacteria from the babies during the first three weeks after birth. They found that among babies who received a probiotic treatment of a certain strain, including Bifidobacterium, alongside antibiotics -- the typical bacterial strains associated with early-life gut microbiota -- were at leve...

I Switched From Premiere Pro to DaVinci Resolve, and I’ll Never Look Back

From the moment I first launched Windows Movie Maker, I've been on the hunt for a good, free video editor. Not a perfect one, mind you. Not one that could replace a professional workflow, just one that's good enough. After giving up on "free" and learning Premiere Pro, I thought my dream would remain dead. Then I found DaVinci Resolve.For the uninitiated, DaVinci Resolve is a free video editor from camera and production gear manufacturer Blackmagic Design. While the software has an optional Studio version ($300 for a lifetime license, though many of Blackmagic's products come with free codes), the free version is so robust and powerful that most users probably won't need to upgrade until editing becomes a full-time job.At first, I was hesitant to jump ship from the Adobe suite. Sure, Premi...

Decades after a PM got pied, the threat landscape in Canadian politics has changed – National

When Prime Minister Jean Chrétien got hit in the face with a pie 25 years ago, the only thing hurt was his pride. A quarter-century later, Canada’s security landscape has changed radically. Threats of violence against politicians have become far more common. What seemed like a harmless prank then looks more like a warning now.“There is this view that you’re a politician, it’s all fair game,” said Catherine McKenna — who was herself the target of multiple threats of violence while she served as a federal minister.“We need people to go into politics and not feel threatened. It’s literally about the health of our democracy because if you want people to go into politics, you can’t expect that they’re going to put up with this and their families are going to put up with it.”Documents released b...

UK researchers discover eight new schizophrenia genes

UK researchers have discovered eight new genes associated with schizophrenia, an advance that will improve the understanding and future treatment development for the severe mental disorder. Schizophrenia significantly affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. It can cause a range of symptoms, including hallucinations, delusions, disorganised thinking, and changes in behaviour. In the breakthrough study, scientists at the Centre for Neuropsychiatric Genetics and Genomics (CNGG) at Cardiff University focused on detecting rare, high-impact mutations in protein-coding genes that are significantly more common in people with schizophrenia. The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, identified two genes -- STAG1 and ZNF136 -- that were linked to schizophrenia with stron...
