Life hack ... Put ‘do nothing’ time on your calendar
This is clean rest—it’s time that we intentionally set aside for relaxation without feeling guilty about it.
It’s something that many of us struggle with because we’ve been programmed to believe that we either have to:
1. earn our rest or 2. be productive all the time. Doing nothing feels like a waste, and it makes us feel lazy.
But honestly, this couldn’t be further from the truth. Doing nothing is the simplest productivity hack out there. You need to take care of yourself to get anything done, so get out your calendar and schedule some downtime.
I hate housework! You make the beds, you do the dishes and six months later you have to start all over again. — Joan Rivers
Composing a piece of music is very feminine. It is sensitive, emotional, contemplative. By comparison, doing housework is positively masculine. — Barbara Kolb

My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance.

Q:
Who is the tall blonde woman who is one of the hosts of “The Talk”? Also, what happened to Sara Gilbert? Are any of the current hosts part of the original group? — H.A.
A:“The Talk” is a live syndicated CBS talk show originally created by Sara Gilbert (“Roseanne,” “The Conners”) back in 2010. She was one of the original hosts, along with five other women: Julie Chen, Sharon Osbourne, Marissa Jaret Winokur, Holly Robinson Peete and Leah Remini. Gilbert left in 2019, but remains executive producer. None of the current hosts were part of the six who debuted, and the current roster includes two men, Jerry O’Connell and Akbar Gbaja-Biamila.
Former NBC “Today” show host Natalie Morales joined “The Talk” in 2021, along with Amanda Kloots. Kloots is a former Broadway star and dancer of the Rockettes. She’s listed as 5 feet 8 inches tall, but with heels, she appears taller. Sadly, before getting her big break with “The Talk,” she lost her husband, Tony-Award-nominated actor Nick Cordero, to COVID after a threemonth battle in the hospital. Sheryl Underwood, a former stand-up comedian, remains the veteran of the show, having joined in 2011. ***
Q:Whatever happened to Annette Bening? Is she still married to actor Warren Beatty? — K.H.
OUTREACH SERVICES

Celebrity Extra
A:Before George Clooney, Warren Beatty was considered Hollywood’s most sought-after bachelor. Both actors are still married to their wives, Beatty and Bening since 1992. A year before their wedding, Bening earned her first of four Oscar nominations in “The Grifters,” and she’s far from retiring. In 2022, she appeared in two films: “Death on the Nile,” with Kenneth Branagh, and “Jerry & Marge Go Large,” with Bryan Cranston.
Next up for Bening is “Poolman,” which is written, directed by and stars Chris Pine, followed by the upcoming TV miniseries “Apples Never Fall,” with Alison Brie.
She’ll also star alongside Jodie Foster in “Nyad,” based on the true story of a
64-year-old woman who, 10 years ago, aimed to be the first woman to swim from Cuba to Florida.

Q:I was surprised to see that Edge is back wrestling with the WWE. Didn’t he suffer a neck injury in real life? — L.H.
A:Adam Copeland, best known as his WWE professional wrestling character, Edge, returned to the ring in 2020 during the Royal Rumble. This was 11 years after leaving the sport to undergo surgery on his cervical spine.
According to the “Daily Star,” the 49-year-old Copeland states that he doesn’t want to overstay his welcome and wants this run to help. “I don’t want to hinder,” he expressed. He says his wife, WWE wrestler Beth Phoenix, will be sure to tell him when “it’s time” to retire permanently.

REGINA, WINNIPEG, EDMONTON –
The dustup over provincial control of natural resources continued into April 11, with the federal Justice Minister and Attorney General David Lametti putting out a statement denying he said what he clearly said, and the three Prairie premiers issuing a statement in response.
ly shifted from coal to natural gas as a fuel source. In December, Boundary Dam Unit 4, a coal-fired generating unit, was retired, reducing the Boundary Dam Power Station to 672 megawatts capacity. On the natural gas side, Saskatchewan has seen the construction of several new natural gas-fired power plants. They include the baseload North Battleford Power Station (289 megawatts), Yellowhead Power Station peaking plant (also at North Battleford, 135 megawatts), the baseload Chinook Power Station at Swift Current (353 megawatts) and peaking plant Spy Hill Power Station (89 megawatts). Another 353 megawatt baseload
The evening of April 10, Lametti issued the following statement via Twitter, with emphasis added by Pipeline Online:
“I am the Minister responsible for the implementation of the United Nations Declaration Act (UNDA) into federal laws and policies. Last week I met with First Nations leaders to discuss its implementation as part of a session
bouring Alberta to fulfill roughly two-thirds of our natural gas needs.
When natural gas prices took a tumble roughly 14 years ago, Saskatchewan’s domestic gas production fell off a cliff. Targeted gas drilling went essentially extinct, with next to no gas-specific wells being drilled in this province for most of the past decade. Our domestic gas production is now largely based on associated gas production that comes with oil production. As a result, Saskatchewan went from being a net gas exporter for the period of 1988 to 2009 to a net importer that year.
of the AFN-SCA that was focused exclusively on the UNDA. Amongst the many questions I was asked, the Natural Resources Transfer Act was raised by First Nations Chiefs on a couple of occasions. It is part of my job to listen to those concerns. To be clear, at no point did I commit our government to reviewing areas of provincial jurisdiction, including that over natural resources. The focus of our Government’s work is to co-develop an action plan with Indigenous partners that will show the path we must take towards aligning federal laws and policies with UNDRIP.”
During a panel at the Assembly of First Nations Special Chiefs Assembly, in Ottawa on April 5, Justice Minister David Lametti was asked by
LR RANGER HOLDINGS LTD.
René & Laura Ranger
two people about provincial jurisdiction over natural resources. Grand Chief Brian Hardlotte from Prince Albert Grand Council asked Lametti to “rescind the act, The Natural Resource Transfer Act, that affect the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta. That’s what we’re asking you, minister as an action item with a statement. It affects our treaty rights, of course, under the Sask First Act, that we hear about. And it’s to do with natural resources. Indian natural resources.”
Chief Don Maracle of Mohawks of Bay of Quinte said, “Canada exporters natural resources to other countries. They earn trillions of dollars in revenues from those resources. Those resources were given to the provinces, without ever asking one Indian if it was okay to do that, or what benefits the First Nations expect to receive by Canada consenting to that arrangement.”
Premiers respond, call for retraction
In response, Lametti said, “I take from Chief Brian and Chief Don Maracle the point about the Natural Resources Transfer Agreement … You’re on the record for that. I obviously can’t pronounce on that right now. But I do commit to looking at that.
“It won’t be uncontroversial, is the only think I would say, with a bit of a smile,” Lametti said.
A little after noon on April 11, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe, Alberta Premier Danielle Smith, and Manitoba Premier Heather Stefanson put out the following statement:
“The Prime Minister needs to tell Canadians today that his Justice Minister was not speaking on behalf of the federal government when he said he would look at rescinding the 1930 Natural Resources Transfer Agreements with the prairie provinces and stripping away their constitutional authority and control over natural resources.
“These agreements recognized that the prairie provinces have the same rights over resources that all of the other provinces already had. Those rights have been fundamental to the people and the economic autonomy of Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba for nearly 100 years.
“The federal government cannot unilaterally change the constitution. They should not even be considering stripping resource rights away from the three prairie provinces.
“The Prime Minister needs to immediately retract these dangerous and divisive comments by his Justice Minister.”
Speaking to John Gormley on CJME/CKOM the morning of April 11, Moe said, “Where does that leave us? One, he either didn’t understand that, so he’s incompetent, or two, he’s actually being deceitful with the chiefs that asked the question by not providing them with the one and only answer he has available to him,” Moe said.
“I find this very disappointing. Any comments like that I find tremendously troubling.”
Natural resources revenue in Saskatchewan will account for $3.3 billion of this year’s $19.6 billion budget. Put in context, that’s equivalent of 82 per cent of all spending by the Ministry of Education.
Moe’s initial tweet about this issue had been viewed 1.6 million times in 24 hours, and 1.7 million within 26 hours. There are only 1.2 million people in Saskatchewan.

From Meatloaf to Burgers to Meatballs: One Recipe, Endless Possibilities
There are few foods more comforting than good old-fashioned meatloaf. I’m always surprised how much my family loves this humble dish, especially the kiddies. Who knew happiness could come in such an unassuming little package?
STRETCHY BEEF AND VEGGIE MEATLOAF
1 tablespoon butter or oil
2 carrots, shredded
2 stalks celery, finely minced
1 medium sweet onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
3/4 cup breadcrumbs
2 pounds 85% lean ground beef
2 eggs
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper
For the glaze:
1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup mustard
or shape into a loaf in the baking pan. In a small bowl, combine glaze ingredients. Brush meatloaf with half the glaze.
Bake for 55 minutes. Remove meatloaf from the oven and spread with remaining glaze (because it’s all about the glaze). Return to the oven for 15 more minutes. Test for doneness; your meat thermometer should read 160 F. Let meatloaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
For Burgers: Shape the meatloaf mixture into burger patties and barbecue, pan-fry or broil. Top with a slice of cheese and let that melt. Then pop it on a bun with the usual accompaniments. You’ve got yourself a scrumptious little burger.
• On April 27, 1992, Baroness Betty Boothroyd became the first woman to be elected Speaker of the British House of Commons in its 700-year history.

There are several delicious reasons to make this recipe. It’s moist and tender, packed with flavor and sneaks in a serving of veggies. (Shhh, don’t tell the kiddies!) It really stretches a buck, and this same recipe makes burgers and meatballs, too. Leftovers make the most amazing grilled meatloaf sandwiches, ever. Oh! Stretchy Beef and Veggie Meatloaf, where have you been all my life?
www.JasonCoblentz.com
Here are some tips for meatloaf lovers. Substitute Parmesan cheese for breadcrumbs for gluten free meatloaf. Don’t overmix, because that makes meatloaf dense, dry and tough. Since shapes of meatloaf vary widely, cooking times will vary as well, but a rule of thumb is 35 minutes per pound of meatloaf. Mini meatloaves made in a muffin tin take 20 to 30 minutes total. This recipe makes six generous portions, but I always make a double batch. There’s never a crumb gone to waste. Serve with mashed potatoes, peas and carrots to make your own Blue Plate Special.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Lightly grease a 5-x-9-inch loaf pan or 9-x-13-inch baking pan.
In a skillet on medium-high heat, saute the onion, carrot and celery in butter or oil until the onion is soft. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Add the garlic and stir it all around until it’s softened and smells divine. Place the veggies in a large mixing bowl and let them cool for a minute.
To the veggies, add breadcrumbs, beef, eggs, Worcestershire, salt and pepper. Use your (very clean) hands to gently mush it all together. Place the mixture into the loaf pan
For Meatballs: Roll heaping tablespoons of the meatloaf mix into meatballs. Place on a baking sheet and bake at 350 F for 30 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 155 F. Serve with pasta or make meatball subs. These also make a great snack or appetizer. Want to know why I always make a double batch? Because I need leftovers to make irresistible grilled cheesy meatloaf sandwiches. Put a schmear of ketchup on the bottom slice of bread, top with meatloaf and cheese slices and the second slice of bread. Spread butter on the outside of both pieces of bread. Heat a skillet and cook the sandwich on both sides until golden brown and delicious. Bon appetit! ***
This delicious meatloaf recipe also makes burgers and meatballs.
Ice Age is not a quick event. It is actually a very long term phenomenon which lasts for several million years.
During the Ice Age, there is a gradual temperature drop. Both atmospheric as well as surface temperatures drop gradually.
During Ice Age, the gradual temperature drop leads to gradual expansion of the alpine glaciers. At the same time, ice sheets that cover the polar regions as well as several areas of different continents also gradually expand.

A single Ice Age can last for hundreds of millions of years. However, within a single Ice Age are two different phases that can happen alternately multiple times. These two phases are known as ‘glacials’ and ‘interglacials’.

Glacials are often referred to as by the names glaciations or glacial periods. These are actually times when climate becomes very cold.
Interestingly, we prefer calling glacials or glaciations or glacial periods as Ice Age but that’s not true. Glacials are not Ice Ages. They are rather phases of Ice Ages.
Interglacials on the other hand are intermediate periods in an Ice Age in when climate remains warm.
If at all, Ice Age is to be defined, glaciology says that as long as the southern hemisphere and the northern hemisphere remains blanketed by extensive ice sheets, it is an Ice Age.
In the times we are living in, the glaciological definitions holds true and hence, we are actually experiencing an Ice Age. Though we are in an Ice Age, we are not experiencing cold climate because we are in an interglacial phase.
The interglacial period that we are living in has a name. Well, we humans gave this name just for the sake of record keeping. This interglacial phase in which we are living is known as Holocene.
The Holocene is a part of the Ice Age that started some 2.6 million years ago (mya). That’s the time of late Pleistocene Epoch.

Australian company Vow has wowed the science world with a meatball made of meat cultivated from the genetic sequence of an extinct mammoth, the Associated Press reported on March 29. “This is not an April Fools’ joke,” said Tim Noakesmith, founder of the company. Using publicly available genetic information from the mammoth, along with data from the African elephant, Vow grew the cells in a lab. The large meatball -- somewhere between the size of a softball and a volleyball -- was displayed at the Nemo science museum in Amsterdam. “We wanted to get people excited about the future of food,” Noakesmith said. “We thought the mammoth would be a conversation starter.” People who were there as it was being cooked said it smelled good.
News That Sounds Like a Joke
Here’s an item you can share at this weekend’s cocktail party: The animatronics at your local Chuck E. Cheese may be powered by a 3.5-inch floppy disk. Of 600 restaurants around the world, about 50 still use the floppies, BuzzFeed News reported. In related news, a robust subculture of Chuck E. fans builds and restores the iconic animatronics at home, and vintage memorabilia has a strong market online. Here’s the less cheery news: Subway trains in San Francisco run on floppies, and Boeing 747s and 737s get their updates on the ‘80s-era medium, too.
