Four-day workweek may help improve employee well-being: Study

A four-day workweek might help with an employee`s well-being, according to a study that trialled the intervention in organisations across the US, UK, Canada, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand. Researchers from Boston College in the US and University College Dublin in Ireland found that workers reported an improved well-being with lower levels of burnout, a better job satisfaction and physical and mental health -- this was not seen among employees of 12 organisations where a reduced workweek was not trialled. For the study, published in the journal Nature Human Behaviour, nearly 2,900 employees across 141 organisations in the six high-income countries worked four days a week for six months without a pay reduction. To maintain productivity, workplaces were re-organised with efficiency an...

Trump thinks Canadians are ‘mean and nasty’ for boycotting U.S. travel, booze: Ambassador

Are Canadians “mean and nasty” for refusing to travel to the U.S. and pulling American booze from liquor store shelves amid tariff and annexation threats? That’s the view of U.S. President Donald Trump, his ambassador to Canada told a Washington state audience on Monday morning — comments that drew a rebuke from B.C. Premier David Eby. 2:12 Trump’s tariffs on Canada might be here to stay, U.S. Secretary of Commerce says Pete Hoesktra was speaking at the PNWER summit in Bellevue, Wash., when an audience member asked him about Canadians eschewing travel south of the border in the context of the upcoming FIFA 2026 World Cup.

Doctors remove massive 3-kg football-sized tumour from woman`s uterus

In a rare and surprising case, a 51-year-old woman, who is a homemaker and mother of two children, has been successfully treated by doctors in Pune, after they found that she had a large tumour (fibroid) growing in her uterus almost the size of a football, and she was completely unaware of it, considering it as an asymptomatic fibroid.  The fibroid, weighing around 3 kilograms, was safely removed by the doctors at Motherhood Hospital in Kharadi giving her a new lease of life. It all started just two months ago when the woman noticed a small bulge in her stomach. Since she didn’t have any pain or discomfort, she ignored it. But during a regular check-up, a general physician felt a lump and advised her to get a sonography done. That’s when the big shock came, the scan showed a massive 20 cm...

The hype train for Christopher Nolan's movie The Odyssey is already screaming down the tracks. Despite a release date of July 17, 2026, some movie theaters are already selling tickets to the first IMAX screenings of the film. The pre-sales are for select showings of the 70mm IMAX version of the movie in a handful of cities in the U.S. and Canada.

As of this writing, 13 of the 16 U.S. theaters offering pre-sale tickets are fully booked.
