A fresh-faced, healthy-looking Ben Cousins has made a public appearance in a Perth nightclub, taking photos and dancing with fans as he continues to put his drug addiction days behind him.
Cousins, 44, was a special guest at popular nightspot Bar1 in the north Perth suburb of Hillarys where he was all smiles as he was engaged with revellers.
The images and visions of Cousins at the nightclub were a grand departure from the disturbing images of him during his drug dependency days, with one clubber even asking him to share his skin care secrets.
Cousins’ remarkable progress comes after…

Yes, it’s fair to characterize the Toronto Blue Jays’ trade deadline as underwhelming. But when the horn sounded at 6 p.m. Tuesday, the entire day was a letdown.
Within the context of this specific trade season, where many clubs teetered on selling their big players but ultimately didn’t, the Blue Jays were clear winners.
No, they didn’t get Tommy Pham, Mark Canha, or Teoscar Hernández, but Toronto actually made moves, which is more than some contending clubs can say. And when Bo Bichette’s knee tendinitis heals up, the Blue Jays will be a deeper squad.

Exercise, in whatever form, and for however long, it just makes life feel better. I feel it myself after a walk up Arthur’s Seat here in Edinburgh, a jog around the Meadows, or a sweaty hot yoga session in Leith.

One of the most interesting health research projects of the past decade or so has looked at how exactly exercise makes us feel good. Research shows…

Saskatchewan Health Minister Paul Merriman defended against accusations that the province isn’t transparent about hospital capacity, by reading out the website address where users can see emergency room wait times — but the link didn’t work.
Merriman read out the website link at the Saskatchewan legislature Thursday monring, after the NDP health critic, Vicki Mowat, accused the government of giving people “as little information as possible” about the state of health care.
Mowat urged Merriman to put information about hospital capacity on the Saskatchewan Health Authority website. Merriman joked the information is hiding on the internet.
“This is hidden on…

Continuity Planning?
Thinking back to Monday 16th March 2020 I remember getting up early. I was due to visit one of our homes in Tewkesbury. I was just about to leave the house when an email landed from a senior Director telling us all to ‘Hold’ all visits and be ready for a conference call that morning. Yes, this was the start of the ‘Lock Down’. With the benefit of insight, how ready were we for what was about to happen next?
Our management team had already undertaken various strategic planning exercises. On the 16thth March, a ”strategic executive team”…

If the grass looks a little greener this year, there’s a reason: During the pandemic, more than 18 million Americans took up gardening, according to the results of a 2021 survey from the National Gardening Association, and many of them stuck with it. “Now that many of us are still in fully remote or hybrid roles, the interest in gardening is still there,” says Rebecca Sears, resident gardening expert at Ferry-Morse, a company that has been selling seeds and gardening gear since the 19th century . “Seasoned and new gardeners alike want to continue developing their skills.”
This has advantages…
