I get most of my news via my Globe and Mail subscription. It’s worth it for quality journalism. Today I tried watching a TV news show. Within five minutes I have switched to watch Dr. Oakley on the National Geographic channel give a cat an enema in the Yukon.

Thank you Dr Goldman, the McCarthy family, Dr Winemaker and all who took part in the exceptionally honest and educational talk about death, dying and palliative care.
I feel that Shelley would be very proud of her family. Her death is truly helping many other families.

While away over the holidays, we had our two voids stay in a “cat resort”. First time they left our home, other than for vet visits. They settled in well. They have never been apart. Host took photos. #cats #bondedpairs

For Maths fans, 2025 is a square.
45² = 45 x 45 = 2025
Also,
9² x 5² = 2025
40² + 20² + 5² = 2025
My favourite?
1³+2³+3³+4³+5³+6³+7³+8³+9³ = 2025

Scientists at RAND warn that H5N1 bird flu poses increasing risks in the U.S., with human cases of unknown origin and widespread animal transmission.
They stress the urgent need for nationwide measures to prevent a potential mutation enabling human-to-human transmission.

We miscalculated the reference dose for a 60 kg adult, initially estimating it at 42,000 ng/day instead of the correct value of 420,000 ng/day.
I’ve made similar mistakes myself.
This is good science.
