LAPD releases tense body cam footage in shooting of Weezer bassist’s wife – National

Descrease article font size Increase article font size Los Angeles police have released video from the shooting of author Jillian Lauren, the wife of a Weezer band member, during a chaotic backyard confrontation that culminated in a volley of gunfire. Lauren’s wounds were not life-threatening in the April 8 shooting in the northeast Los Angeles neighborhood of Eagle Rock, where the 51-year-old wife of Weezer base player Scott Shriner emerged from her home with a gun as city police and the California Highway Patrol searched the area for three people who fled a car wreck. In a separate segment of silent surveillance video from Jillian Lauren’s backyard, Lauren can be seen exiting the home barefoot and carrying a pistol in...

Reverse Searing a Steak Is Faster in the Air Fryer

After years of pan frying steaks to the charming tune of Brooklyn smoke detectors, I was delighted when I finally learned about reverse searing—a cooking method where you slowly bring the steak up to temperature in the conventional oven, and sear it briefly afterward. This method keeps the billowing smoke to a minimum, cooks the protein more evenly, and can prevent overcooking. The trade off: a comparatively long cooking time. Since I’m always interested in trying to make a good thing work better for me, I set out to try and speed up the reverse searing method. I just needed something to bake gently, but faster. Luckily, there is an appliance that does exactly that—the air fryer. Not only can you reverse sear with great success in your air fryer, but you’ll save time too. ...

Antibiotic exposure before age two linked to childhood obesity: Study

Administering antibiotics within the first two years of life can raise children`s risk of developing higher body mass index (BMI), according to a new study. Researchers from the University of Oulu in Finland found that children exposed to antibiotics in the first two years of life had a 9 per cent greater risk of being overweight; and a 20 per cent greater risk of becoming obese than children who were not exposed to the drugs. However, the study found no correlation between BMI and antibiotic use before pregnancy, during pregnancy, or at birth. "Antibiotic exposure in the first two years of life has a stronger association with childhood weight gain than exposure during pregnancy stages or other early ages," said Sofia Ainonen, a medical doctor at the University of Oulu. "Providers need...

Singh considered stepping down in 2023 after being told of threat to his life

NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said Saturday that he considered stepping down after being told about a credible threat to his life in December 2023. Singh made the revelation to reporters in a campaign stop in London, Ont. as he is fighting for his political life ahead of Monday’s final vote.Singh said the RCMP warned him about the threat and put him and his family under heavy police protection in late 2023 and early 2024. He said thinking about what that threat could mean for his family was unnerving.“When I got that threat, I was floored,” he said. “When I started thinking about what it meant for me and my family, that I was the target of a real threat to my life, I had the chills.”At the time his wife, Gurkiran Kaur Sidhu, was pregnant with their second daughter. His older daughter was then a...

DYK? David Harbour believed his Stranger Things character would die in season 1

Actor David Harbour reflects on his role as Jim Hooper in the popular Netflix show `Stranger Things`. The actor believed that his character arc in the show had a small run and was convinced that Hooper would`ve met his end in Season one before it became a global phenomenon, as reported by Variety. In a new interview with British GQ, as quoted by Variety, Harbour looked back at his role in Stranger Things and offered a surprising insight as to how he thought his arc should have ended much earlier. "Before it became a phenomenon for Netflix, and there was a high chance it would run for only one season like any other show, Harbour read the scripts and was convinced the first season should have ended with Hopper dying by suicide. To him, it was the only way Hopper could apologise to his dau...

Poilievre makes final push to fortify the West as eastern support in flux – National

In the final days of the federal campaign, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is trying to reassure his western base that the period he refers to as the “lost Liberal decade” is coming to an end. “This election comes down to one word, and that is change,” said Poilievre in Saskatoon, Sask., at his final scheduled news conference of the campaign.But many Westerners may not see the change they’re hoping for, if the polls are accurate and the Liberals dominate in the vote rich regions of Ontario and Quebec.“This late in the campaign I think stops in Alberta and Saskatchewan suggest a need to play some defence, but I wouldn’t overstate that,” said University of Saskatchewan professor Daniel Westlake. 1:58 ...

3 minutes of moderate activity daily can improve heart health in elderly: Study

Just three minutes a day of moderate activity may be enough to boost better heart health in older adults, according to a study. Previous studies have shown that as people age, many do not engage in physical activity, increasing their chances of experiencing a cardiovascular event. In the new study, researchers from the UK and Australia noted that doing household chores or shopping for groceries -- referred to as incidental activities -- may also be enough to boost health. Incidental physical activity (IPA) encompasses activities of daily living outside the leisure-time domain and includes preparing meals, keeping the house clean, mowing the lawn, or gardening. “Any daily IPA amount of vigorous or moderate-intensity was associated with lower cardiovascular disease risk in a dose-response...

Here’s How the Switch 2 Specs Compare to the Original

Nintendo Switch 2 preorders are currently underway (if you can manage to find a store with inventory, that is). As we approach the console's June 5 launch date, it's worth getting a bit reflective: The Switch as a product line is now more than eight years old, and Nintendo has made some significant changes with this latest device. If you have a Switch and are thinking about picking up a Switch 2, you might be wondering how these two generations of consoles compare.Now, Nintendo didn't just release one console during the Switch era: It released three. There's the original Switch, the Switch OLED, and the Switch Lite. I'm taking a look at all three and comparing their specs to the new Switch 2. While we'll need to wait for reviews to directly compare the overall experience of these different...
