I used to think love was a math equation. If I just added enough kindness, subtracted neediness, and multiplied my efforts, I’d get the right answer: a happy, lasting relationship. So when things fell apart, I’d sit there with my heart in my hands, desperately scanning my memory for where I’d gone wrong. Which variable did I mess up? What more could I have done? It’s a special kind of pain — the quiet, gnawing belief that if you’d just been smarter, prettier, calmer, or more patient, they would have stayed. If you’ve ever replayed a breakup on a loop, searching for the moment you ruined everything, you’re not alone. We’re wired for it. There’s something strangely comfor…

— Home improvement has become one of the most rewarding ways for homeowners to express creativity, add value to their property, and make daily living more comfortable. Power tools are often the unsung heroes, whether it’s assembling new furniture, installing lighting, fixing shelves, or tackling bigger renovation projects. They save time, provide precision, and enable even novice DIY enthusiasts to confidently tackle tasks. But a commonly overlooked component that drives all cordless drills, laser levels, stud finders, and portable sanders is the battery. Without reliable power, even the best tools lose their usefulness. This is where the rechargeable AA lithium-ion b…

By Faye Matthews August 29, 2005 is a day that lives in infamy in the Gulf South. On that day, Hurricane Katrina slammed onto shore at the Mississippi/Louisiana state line as a powerful and massive hurricane. Twenty years later, it remains the costliest hurricane in U.S. history. For both of us, August 29 was the day that changed everything. The storm forced us to make the heart-wrenching decision to leave our homes, businesses, and families, uncertain if we would return again. Today, that experience shapes the way that we look at and participate in conversations around immigration and the artificiality of borders. We saw in real time what it meant to have the right to …

By Sarah Watts-Rynard The newly elected federal Liberal government has no shortage of ambition, outlining the ingredients for a robust economic transformation, with investments in artificial intelligence (AI), national defence and housing. In this vision, Canada will become an energy superpower and, by removing internal trade barriers, a robust single economy less reliant on trade with a fickle southern neighbour. The prospect is compelling. But it relies, first and foremost on a skilled and ready workforce. The kind of workforce that Canada’s post-secondary institutions develop in spades. So, why are governments across the country standing on the sidelines as higher e…

At first glance your relationship might seem smooth sailing with just the occasional bump. If you’re with a narcissist those bumps might actually be subtle red flags that are easy to miss. Over time these signs can become more apparent and help you see the true nature of the relationship.

By Ethan DeWitt In March: a 25% tariff imposed by the U.S on Canadian steel and aluminum. Soon after: a host of retaliatory tariffs passed by Canada against American goods. And then, in late August, a new pledge by Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney to remove most — but not all — of those counter-tariffs by Sept. 1. The trade policies between the U.S. and its northern neighbor have careened in recent months, sending businesses into uncertainty as President Donald Trump pushes through aggressive and evolving negotiating tactics. In New Hampshire, they appear to be having an impact. By June 2025, exports to Canada for the year were 42.6% lower than at the same point in …

— The pandemic struck only a few years ago, yet many of us already see it as a distant memory, forgetting that, for a time, society lived under strict limitations and restrictions. This uneasy period accelerated consumer interest in shopping online, making it quite common to compare, search, and order all types of products ‘blindly’, without testing them in real life. Many people saw this shift in shopping habits as a sort of liberation – you do not waste half of the day driving around different stores and make a purchase in a matter of minutes. Nevertheless, despite the rise in the popularity of digital shopping, the offline market still retains its importance, and man…

By Hilary Lustick, UMass Lowell It’s been about six months since the U.S. Department of Education sent a “Dear Colleague” letter to all schools that receive federal funding, warning them that they could risk losing this money if they promote what the department calls “pervasive and repugnant” racial preferences. The letter, among other things, reversed previous presidents’ positions on how diversity, equity and inclusion influences schools’ disciplinary measures. It advised schools to, within two weeks, begin to eliminate all discipline protocols rooted in DEI, on the grounds that this work is discriminatory against white students. Trump also issued an executive order…

Your five-star review of a park may have more weight than you think. Scientists just turned it into data, thanks to artificial intelligence (AI). Researchers at the University of Florida based in Fort Lauderdale used machine learning to analyze more than 30,000 Google Maps and TripAdvisor reviews for parks, gardens and greenways throughout Broward County. Their analysis identified 11 types of “cultural ecosystem services” or nonmaterial benefits provided by nature, such as beauty, recreation, relaxation and inspiration. By using this type of AI, they pinpointed which parks offer the richest mix of these services. Their findings, published in the journal Ecosystem Servic…

A viral post on X by Lila Rose claiming that “Men don’t need sex” has sent the internet into a frenzy. The tweet racked up over 9 million views and thousands of comments, many of them furious. One man shot back, “If men don’t need sex, women don’t need emotional validation or cuddling. You’re not going to die without them, right?” Well — yes. We won’t die without cuddling. And no, men won’t die without sex either. But the real problem is how quickly people dismissed the deeper message. The outrage itself proves just how blind we’ve become. Because here’s the truth; men today are facing a crisis. We’re seeing an epidemic of loneliness, disconnection, and a loss of purpo…

You know the feeling. That dizzying, all-consuming infatuation that feels like destiny. The magnetic pull toward someone who is clearly wrong to everyone but you is all wrong. You see the red flags, but they look like flags of passion. You hear the warnings, but they sound like background noise to the symphony of chemistry playing in your mind. We’ve all been there. We mistake anxiety for excitement, intensity for intimacy, and trauma bonds for soulmate connections. It’s easy to blame ourselves, to think we’re just “bad at love.” But the truth is far more fascinating — and far more compassionate. Our attraction to the wrong people is rarely random; it’s a psychological p…

The survival of Ernest Shackleton’s crew is the greatest survival saga in human history. AUGUST 8, 1914—28 men depart for Antarctica. JANUARY 18, 1915—Their ship, the Endurance, is caught in pack ice. NOVEMBER 21, 1915—The ship sinks. AUGUST 30, 1916—The crew is rescued. The survival of all 28 men is a tribute to the human spirit and Ernest Shackleton leading through crisis. Leading Through Crisis #1 Eliminate Happy Talk Optimism isn’t pretending.

By Irshad Ahmad Mughal Water is governed by a fundamental and unyielding principle: it flows downward. From its origins in the melting ice of glaciers, it follows the relentless pull of gravity, carving its way through continents until it merges with the sea. This journey is an immutable force of nature that cannot be halted—only misguidedly altered, often with severe and unintended consequences. This dynamic is acutely visible in regions like the Himalayas, the vital source of the great river systems that sustain Pakistan and India. Here, extensive human intervention has profoundly disrupted the natural hydrological cycle. A proliferation of infrastructure—including da…

An edited version of the article is published on Global Voices under a media partnership agreement. The vast Ustyurt Plateau, a transboundary clay desert spanning Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and western Kazakhstan, is home to the Central Asian tortoise, known as Tasbaqa in Kazakh.

There exists a curious kind of self-doubt that slinks in at the weirdest hours. It can be often in line at the grocery store, or on a park bench, watching a stranger with nice hair tie their shoelace in what is, somehow, the most sensuous motion you’ve seen all week. That little voice creeps in, clutching its pearls and gasping, “Oh no. Am I creepy?” It’s not just any insecurity. This one is marinated in moral panic and topped with a generous dollop of shame. Suddenly, your inner monologue turns into a courtroom, and the charges start rolling in. Letch. Degenerate. Weirdo. Sleaze. Scumbag. Freak. Horndog. Skank. Predator. Peeping Tom. Voyeur. Pervert. Hound. Masher…
