By Nikki Mehrpoo In workers’ compensation, notes are not just reminders. They are the official record of what professionals saw, considered, and decided.

Mindfulness is the practice of bringing yourself into the present moment in a nonjudgmental way, which is also what improvisation requires, making mindfulness and drama the perfect pairing. Mindfulness has so much to offer children and young adults: Studies link it to reduced anxiety and stress, better focus, and greater creativity.

Being kind is something we should all constantly strive for. Yet, people-pleasing takes this to a whole other level — one where you might end up feeling overly anxious, stressed, and emotionally spent.  People-pleasing isn’t just about being kind. Rather, it involves going out of your way to change what you say or how you behave to cater to other people’s reactions and feelings.  But: you don’t have any control over other people’s reactions or feelings.

Social Security is a critical source of income for seniors, which is why many current workers and retired Americans worry about its financial troubles. Specifically, the Social Security Trustees report released in June of 2026 confirmed long-held fears that the program’s trust fund is in danger of running dry. By the end of 2032, the Old-Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) trust fund is scheduled to be depleted, which means only the revenue being collected at that time can be used to pay benefits. This outcome leads to an automatic 22% cut in benefits, as there’s only enough incoming…

The revived otter – credit, supplied to CTV It takes a village to raise a child they say. Well a story comes to us now from Alert Bay in British Columbia, where it took a village to save one.
