Five of My Favorite YouTube Channels With Free Spin Classes

In-person spin classes are the best kind of spin classes, in my opinion, but I know my perspective is very biased because I teach them multiple times per week. When I'm not teaching, I'm taking classes on my Peloton because that's a brand I trust to provide me with credentialed, experienced instructors and thoughtful, effective workout routines. I am, however, a woman of the people, so I recognize there is a demand for free options that are still well structured and helpful. If you're on a budget, traveling somewhere, or just in need of a quick hit of motivation to hop on a stationary bike, you can approximate the Peloton or in-person class experience on YouTube. Some of the channels and instructors are better than others and there are a few pros and cons. Based on what I know about what m...

Rising trend of women committing murders: Health experts blame coping skills

Increasing emotional dysfunctions and poor coping skills may be behind the rising trend in cases of women committing or fostering the murder of their husbands, said mental health experts. There is a rise in cases of intimate partner violence, especially those involving the female partner. From a planned honeymoon killing in Meghalaya to a dismembered body found sealed in a cement drum in Meerut, the wave of husband murders has sparked a fierce debate on the mental status of the women committing these ghastly murders. “These crimes are not to be viewed as aggressor being men or women rather these are to be viewed as human tragedies resulting from emotional dysfunctions, unhealthy coping skills and impaired cognitions and judgement,” Dr Shiv Prasad, professor, and head, Dept of Psychiatry...

Why many music fans are having more ‘remember when’ conversations – National

Episode 15 of Season 6 of The Sopranos features a scene where Tony and Paulie are out for dinner with some friends. After Paulie’s endless stories about the old days, Tony becomes irritated and declares that “’remember when’ is the lowest form of conversation.” He then gets up and leaves in a low-level huff. It’s understandable that some people find certain types of reminiscing annoying. They believe in living in the moment and looking forward to the future, not rehashing the past. Nostalgia was, in fact, a medical condition that described a particular kind of melancholy fused with sentimentality.Things got quite melancholic and nostalgic for me on Friday night when I attended a reunion of dozens of people who worked in Winnipeg radio over the decades. These were mentors, peers and followe...

How to Stop Your Questions in the Meta AI App From Being Posted Publicly

I never thought I'd download Meta AI on my iPhone. After all, people have been mad for over a year that you can't turn off Meta AI on Facebook and Instagram: Why would you want a dedicated app for this?Then, I saw the headlines from TechCrunch, Wired, and Business Insider, among many others, that sharply criticize the app's approach to privacy and security. That's because Meta AI isn't Meta's take on ChatGPT, Gemini, or Claude. Instead, it's half-chatbot, half-social media platform, where your requests and questions can be shared with the rest of the Meta AI community.To be clear, your Meta AI interactions aren't shared by default. You do need to choose to post your queries to the social aspect of the app. Should you choose to do so, your requests are posted to a public Discover feed for a...

Study shows alcohol-linked liver deaths rising in women, young adults

Alcohol-related liver disease deaths are increasing rapidly among women and young adults, according to new research. Researchers from the Universities Havard, Stanford, and Southern California (USC) attributed the rise to higher drinking during the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as to increasing health problems like obesity and high blood pressure. "The pandemic itself came under control, but the disparities that came with it continued and lingered," said Dr. Nasim Maleki, a psychiatry professor at Harvard Medical School. The findings, published in JAMA Network Open, based on death certificates from across the US showed that between 2018 and 2022, deaths from alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD) rose nearly 9 per cent a year. Between 2006 and 2018, ALD deaths stood at 3.5 per cent per ye...

Progress on lifting Trump’s tariffs on Canada ‘not fast enough’: LeBlanc – National

The cabinet official leading Canada’s negotiations with the Trump administration says talks on removing tariffs aren’t going fast enough, pouring cold water on the hope a deal will be announced at this week’s G7 summit. Dominic LeBlanc, the minister responsible for Canada-U.S. trade, says that while conversations on a new economic and security partnership are “frequent and constructive … we don’t have the outcome we want yet” — particularly the lifting of recently doubled tariffs on steel and aluminum, as well as duties imposed on the auto sector and other goods.“I’m hopeful we’ll get there, but it’s not fast enough,” he told Mercedes Stephenson in an interview that aired Sunday on The West Block.“Our hope was that we would have made more progress before the president arrives in Alberta fo...

Ex-military chief welcomes defence boost amid growing ‘chaos’ around world – National

Canada’s former chief of the defence staff says he’s glad to see a renewed urgency in Ottawa to boost defence spending given the ever-increasing global threat environment, which he describes as “unpredictable” and even “crazy.” Retired general Wayne Eyre, in his first interview since leaving the top military post last year, says the “sheer number of conflicts and wars around the world” has made the need for Canada to invest in its national defence ever more critical.“The rules-based international order that for so long provided the guardrails against large-scale international conflict — those have been eroded, and what’s emerging we don’t know yet, but it is much more dangerous and this transition period is rife for miscalculation,” he told Mercedes Stephenson in the interview, which aired...
