Alberta Is Struggling to Keep Its Nurses and Teachers

2 weeks ago | thewalrus.ca | Kena Shah

Lower taxes, better income, more take-home pay, billions in health care, and education investment: these are the promises made in the recent Government of Alberta advertising campaign to encourage workers to move to the province. After the success of the 2022 Alberta Is Calling campaign, which attracted thousands of interprovincial migrants to Alberta, the province ran a new campaign, called Better Here, late last year.
｢配当株｣は、若者にも有益かもしれない。だが、それでも慎重な戦略は必要だ

Mar 13, 2024 | businessinsider.jp | Avril Ayers |Kena Shah

配当株は、分散投資ポートフォリオに有益かもしれない。どの投資にも言えることだが、自分の投資目標と期待値を考えることが重要だ。何十年も配当を支払っている企業であっても、まったく安全な株式はない。配当株や配当株ファンドにまつわる大きな誤解のひとつは、｢配当株がふさわしいのは退職者や退職間近の人だけ｣という認識だ。退職者は配当を所得の代替として位置付けることが多いため、配当株ファンドが向いているのは退職者だけと思われがちである。だが、これは真実とは程遠いかもしれない。仮に投資初心者であったとしても、恐らく配当株ファンドをポートフォリオに組み入れる余地があるだろう（実際に若い投資家がそれを行った場合、成長株への投資を進める助言が次々と押し寄せるかもしれないが……）。｢配当株ファンドは配当収入を得ることを目指す一方、成長株ファンドは投資し続けることで資産の拡大を目指す｣と、投資マネージャーのケイシー・ヘイデン氏は語る。｢両者の仕組みと方法は異なるが、目指すところは同じ——つまりお金を増やすことだ｣...

Alice in Wonderland syndrome mapped in the brain to improve treatments

Jan 30, 2024 | newscientist.com | Kena Shah

People with a form of the rare and somewhat mysterious Alice in Wonderland syndrome may one day have better diagnostic and treatment options after scientists mapped a circuit in the brain implemented in the condition. Named after Lewis Carroll’s eponymous character, Alice in Wonderland syndrome (AIWS) describes people seeing or perceiving their own body parts – as well as those of others, and objects – in distorted proportions, such as…

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. If you want to taste a slice of outer space, there's no better way than through freeze-dried fruit. The process behind freeze-drying helps fruit last for at least two decades (if not three) under the right conditions, making it ideal for astronauts in orbit. Of course, to reap the benefits of long-lasting freeze-dried fruit, proper storage is required whether you're in space or on earth.

Yams have a neutral taste like potatoes or cassava, unlike sweet potatoes, which are sweet. Just as versatile as potatoes, yams are a primary component of the diets of those in Africa and the Caribbean.

“It was just something to do…like getting your hair braided,” says Kayowe Mune, describing the mindset held by many communities about female genital mutilation/cutting (FGM/C). Mune, now 42, is a content creator based in Toronto and was cut when she was six years old, as part of what’s known as vacation cutting, which often happens during the summer when school is out. Mune was born in Somalia and was living in Saudi Arabia with her parents at the time.
What's The Best Fat To Use When Making Tadka?

Dec 18, 2023 | thedailymeal.com | Kena Shah

While Indian food is defined by its use of spices, the fat that is used as a base to temper these spices lends just as much flavor to the food. Northern Indian states love their mustard oil, which is often used when tempering spices for a curry called sarson ka saag, made of mustard greens — the oil's pungent taste complements the peppery greens well.
