Six days into the Brier and not a single emailed fan complaint about players screaming too loud. Truly wish I could say the same during the Scotties. But, of course, I can't. It's International Women's Day, and you should read this column about why that crap needs to stop.

I've been a twitter coward while on the market. But now that I'm safe it's time to get controversial.
My most deeply held commitment: you should only indent paragraphs if they immediately follow another paragraph. The 1st paragraph in a section needn't-and shouldn't-be indented.

10k steps per day is often quoted as as a physical activity goal. However for the most sedentary groups, this can seem like a daunting task. It is essential that we are very clear with people that benefits of being active happen well before 10k steps.

The deep concern around ChatGPT in higher education reveals how unwilling academia is to change. Most classes are using archaic educational practices that predate computers. The world is not the same anymore. Teaching the old way won't prepare our students for the future.
