4 things to know about Trump's diagnosis of chronic venous insufficiency
Health Jul 23, 2025 6:00 AM EDT
Following recent reports that President Donald Trump's ankles appeared swollen, the White House has confirmed that Trump has been diagnosed with chronic venous insufficiency.
In the president's annual physical exam released in April, Navy Capt. Sean Barbabella said Trump's "blood flow to his extremities is unimpaired."
"President Trump exhibits excellent cognitive and physical health and is fully fit to execute the duties of the Commander-in-Chief and Head of State," Barbabella wrote.
Weeks later, photographs began to emerge that showed bruises on Trump's hands and swelling around his ankles, leading to questions about the accuracy of the president's health prognosis.

Seychelles vs Newfoundland
Seychelles[c] (/seɪˈʃɛl(z)/ ⓘ, /ˈseɪʃɛl(z)/;[12][13] French: [sɛʃɛl][14][15][16] or [seʃɛl][17]), officially the Republic of Seychelles (French: République des Seychelles; Seychellois Creole: Repiblik Sesel),[18] is an archipelagic country consisting of 115 islands[19] in the Indian Ocean. Its capital and largest city, Victoria, is 1,500 kilometres (800 nautical miles) east of mainland Africa. Nearby island countries and territories include the Maldives, Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius, and the French overseas departments of Mayotte and Réunion to the south; and the Chagos Archipelago to the east. Seychelles is the smallest country in Africa as well as the least populated sovereign African country, with an estimated population of 100,600 in 2022.[20]
The Seychelles archipelago was uninhabited prior to sustained external contact. Although Arab and Swahili sailors likely knew of the islands earlier through Indian Ocean trade routes, there is no evidence of permanent settlement before European involvement. The islands were first recorded by Europeans in the 16th century, but were not settled until the 18th century, when France formally claimed them. During the period of French colonization, enslaved Africans—many of whom had already been captured through existing African, Arab slave trade, and Indian Ocean slave trade networks—were brought to the islands for plantation labor.
It faced competing French and British interests until it came under full British control in the early 19th century. After Britain assumed control in the early 19th century, slavery was abolished and later replaced in part by indentured laborers from India. Since proclaiming independence from the United Kingdom in 1976, it has developed from a largely agricultural society to a market-based diversified economy, characterized by service, public sector, and tourism activities. From 1976 to 2015, nominal GDP grew nearly 700%, and purchasing power parity nearly 1600%. Since the late 2010s, the government has taken steps to encourage foreign investment.
As of the early 21st century, Seychelles has the highest nominal per capita GDP and the highest Human Development Index ranking of any African country.[21] According to the 2024 V-Dem Democracy indices, Seychelles is the 43rd-ranked electoral democracy worldwide, the 1st-ranked liberal democracy in Africa, and the 2nd-ranked electoral democracy on the continent.[22] Seychellois culture and society is an eclectic mix of French, British, Indian and African influences, with infusions of Chinese elements. The country is a member of the United Nations, the African Union, the Southern African Development Community, and the Commonwealth of Nations.

Condos vs Apartments
The main difference between a condo and an apartment is ownership: condos are individually owned, while apartments are typically owned by a single entity and rented out.
Ownership and Renting
A condo (condominium) is an individual unit owned by a private person within a larger building or complex. Owners can live in the unit or rent it out, and if you buy a condo, you build equity over time. In contrast, an apartment is usually owned by a corporation or property management company, and all units are rented to tenants. Renters sign a lease with the management company, and they do not gain ownership or equity
Maintenance and Management
In an apartment, a professional management team handles maintenance, repairs, and common area upkeep, providing convenience and predictable costs for tenants
For condos, individual owners are responsible for maintaining their own units, while a homeowners association (HOA) manages shared spaces like lobbies, pools, and gyms. HOA fees are collected to cover these services, and renters may indirectly pay these costs through rent
Costs and Fees
Apartments generally have standardized rent and may include utilities or amenities in the monthly payment. Condos can have additional costs such as HOA fees, property taxes, and insurance, which vary by unit and owner. Buying a condo requires a down payment and mortgage, while renting an apartment only requires a security deposit and monthly rent.
Lifestyle and Flexibility
Apartments offer more flexibility for short-term living and less responsibility for maintenance, making them ideal for renters who move frequently. Condos provide more freedom to customize interiors and can be a long-term investment, but ownership comes with responsibilities and less flexibility
Amenities and Customization
Both condos and apartments may offer amenities like pools, gyms, and parking. However, condos often feature upgraded finishes or personalized touches depending on the owner, while apartments maintain uniform standards across all units
In summary, condos are individually owned units with potential for equity and customization, while apartments are rental units managed collectively, offering convenience and flexibility without ownership benefits. The choice depends on your priorities regarding ownership, maintenance responsibility, cost, and lifestyle.

Trump Cognitive Decline
The cognitive decline is real
Former Trump administration official Ty Cobb spoke at length Saturday about what he described as President Donald Trump’s “frontal lobe illness,” the “signals” of which were evident when comparing his behavior between administrations.
“He’s always been a malignant narcissist, but that narcissism now has no frontal lobe restraints,” Cobb said, speaking to former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan in a video published Saturday by Zeteo.
Cobb served as an attorney for the first Trump administration, representing the White House during the Mueller investigation into Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding interference in the 2016 election. As someone who reported directly to Trump, Cobb was asked by Hasan whether he believed Trump was legitimately in “cognitive mental decline.”
“The cognitive decline is real,” Cobb said bluntly.
“Certainly the country can see that as these despicable memes that he posts of [former President Barack] Obama being arrested in the Oval Office, him in a fighter plane pouring excrement over the No Kings protestors, his phrase yesterday in criticizing [Abdul] El-Sayed. The kind of things that basically have drained the dignity of the office of the president and demeaned our country around the world, those are signals of serious cognitive decline.”

Life's Purpose
For Friedrich Nietzsche, life purpose is not found or given; it is actively created through self-overcoming (Selbstüberwindung). He believed humans must rise above herd mentality, master their inner chaos, and channel their will to power into forging personal meaning. As noted in A-Z Quotes, Nietzsche wrote, "[h]e who has a why to live can bear almost any how". Most users on Reddit agree that his core drive centers on pushing human limits rather than seeking passive comfort.
Core Concepts of Overcoming
Self-Overcoming: Constantly transforming and rising above your past self, habits, and weaknesses.
The "Why" of Existence: Using a self-created purpose to endure and give value to inevitable suffering.
Amor Fati: Loving your fate, meaning you embrace every hardship and struggle as necessary fuel for growth.The Übermensch (Overman):

How long can $500,000 last in Canada?
In Canada, $500,000 saved at age 65 can last 25 to 30 years or even indefinitely, depending heavily on your annual withdrawal amounts, investment returns, and whether you collect government benefits like the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Old Age Security (OAS).How Withdrawal Rates Affect the TimelineConservative Drawdown ($20,000/year): Drawing $20,000 annually from the principal alone (ignoring growth) gives you 25 years. Combined with government benefits, this stretches much further.The 4% Rule ($20,000 first year, adjusted for inflation): If invested in a balanced portfolio yielding a modest net return, a 4% initial withdrawal rate ($20,000/year) historically has a high probability of lasting 30 years or more without depleting the principal.Aggressive Drawdown ($40,000+/year): If you withdraw $40,000 a year from your savings without matching lifestyle reductions or heavy investment growth, the $500,000 will be exhausted in roughly 12 to 15 years.Key Factors That Change the MathGovernment Benefits: At age 65, you gain access to full OAS and baseline CPP. Max or average government benefits can inject an extra $15,000 to $30,000+ per year, meaning your $500,000 only has to function as a "top-up" fund rather than your sole source of survival.Housing Costs: If you own your home outright with no mortgage, $500,000 easily lasts through retirement. If you rent or carry heavy debt, it may deplete much faster.Investment Growth: Keeping the money in cash or high-interest savings yields low real returns after inflation, whereas a balanced mix of equities and fixed income allows the principal to compound and replenish itself partially.To narrow this down, please share:Your expected annual spending in retirementWhether you have a paid-off homeYour anticipated CPP and OAS monthly amountsI can help estimate a personalized timeline for your funds.
Former Corner Brook RNC officer will be retried on charges of assaulting former intimate partner
Former Corner Brook RNC officer will be retried on charges of assaulting former intimate partner Noelle Laite was originally convicted in January 2023
A Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador judge has ordered that former Corner Brook RNC officer be retried on charges that she assaulted her former intimate partner. Justice George Murphy rendered his decision on an appeal filed by Laite on April 30, 2026. A former RNC officer who had been suspended from the force following her conviction for assaulting her former intimate partner will be getting a new trial.
Noelle Laite, who had been stationed at the RNC headquarters in Corner Brook, was found guilty of one count of common assault and one count of assault causing bodily harm in provincial court in Corner Brook on Jan. 1, 2023.
She was sentenced to four months in jail, followed by 12 months of probation, on March 27, 2023.
Laite, 37, spent three nights in jail before she was released on bail after her lawyer, Robby Ash, filed an appeal of both her conviction and sentence.
Her appeal was heard by Justice George Murphy in the Supreme Court of Newfoundland and Labrador in Corner Brook on Sept. 24, 2024.
Murphy rendered his decision on the appeal on April 30.
Laite was charged with assault, assault with a weapon, assault causing bodily harm and choking in March 2022 following an investigation by the province’s Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT-NL).
The alleged victim was her former intimate partner, and the assaults were said to have taken place between Sept. 1, 2020, and Jan. 31, 2022. They all occurred in Pasadena, where the two women shared a home, while Laite was off duty.

TRIAL DECISION
In his decision, Murphy said the assault conviction was based on the trial judge’s finding that the Crown had proven to the required standard that Laite had, on or before Dec. 27, 2021, grabbed her former partner and pushed her against a wall on several occasions.
He said the assault causing bodily harm conviction was also based on the trial judge’s finding that the required standard of proof for that charge had been met.

In this case, Laite was alleged to have pushed her former partner on Dec. 31, 2021, causing her to fall against the bed. The woman suffered several injuries that were shown in photographs that were presented during her trial.
Laite was acquitted of the assault with a weapon and choking charges.
During her trial, the court heard that Laite and her former partner had been living in the same residence in Pasadena, but they were in the process of ending their relationship when the offences were alleged to have occurred.
Laite had maintained that she never assaulted the woman and that she had never seen the bruises that were depicted in the photographs submitted as evidence.
Article content
The trial judge found it was impossible for her not to have seen the bruises and concluded that Laite was being dishonest and this impacted all her evidence.

At her sentencing hearing, both Laite and the Crown suggested she should receive a non-custodial sentence.
However, the trial judge expressed concern whether such a sentence would be appropriate and gave both counsel the opportunity to make further submissions.
Ash made further submissions on Laite’s behalf, but the Crown declined the opportunity.
Murphy said the trial judge found that the submissions did not reflect the approach to sentencing that had been generally adopted in the province for the type of offences allegedly committed by Laite.
The trial judge also found that the sentencing precedents submitted by the Crown did not support its sentencing position.
While the sentencing precedents submitted by Ash did support the submission for a suspended or conditional sentence, the trial judge said he disagreed with the conclusions reached in some of the decisions.
His conclusion was that the gravity of the offences was too great, and the degree of responsibility too high for a conditional sentence to be appropriate. He also found that a stronger sentence was necessary to satisfy the principles of denunciation and deterrence.
Laite appealed her conviction on the basis that the trial judge erred in:
The assessment of her credibility
In making a finding of fact with respect to what caused the bruising depicted in the photographs and in failing to consider alternative explanations for the bruising
In applying a different degree of scrutiny to Laite’s evidence than to the evidence of the complainant.
Murphy found that the trial judge did err in his impossibility finding that Laite had to have seen the bruises and the credibility assessment that resulted.
He said the error justifies allowing the appeal from conviction and overturned the convictions on both charges.
He ordered that the charges be remitted back to the provincial court for a new trial before a different trial judge.
No date has been set for that to occur.
Noelle Laite, a former constable with the RNC in Corner Brook, was described as having had an exemplary work record by Justice George Murphy in his decision ordering that she be retried on charges of assaulting her former intimate partner. While he allowed the conviction appeal, Murphy still considered the sentence appeal separately.
Article content
He noted that the Supreme Court of Canada has made it clear that a trial judge’s decision on sentence is entitled to deference and appeal courts should not interfere unless it’s shown that the trial judge made a legal error, failed to consider a relevant factor, or put an overemphasis on appropriate factors or imposed a sentence that was demonstrably unfit.
Laite argued that the trial judge erred in law by finding that the fact that the offences took place in their residence was an aggravating factor, in addition to the aggravating factor arising from the fact that the offences involved the abuse of an intimate partner.
Murphy said comments by the trial judge that indicated he did find that to be the case constituted an error.

Murphy also said he had problems with the trial judge’s referral to and use of sentencing precedents from a foreign jurisdiction in his decision. He said relying on case law from foreign jurisdictions should be avoided, adding that such authorities arise out of the constitutional and legislative framework of the jurisdictions they come from and are undoubtedly different than ours. Even if it could be argued they were somehow relevant, Murphy added, a person being sentence is entitled to expect and rely on the fact that they will be sentenced according to Canadian laws.
Article content
Murphy concluded that the effect of the trial judge’s errors on the sentence was more than incidental.
Article content
In performing his own sentencing analysis, Murphy said the trial judge’s comments and conclusions regarding the sentencing submissions are irrelevant.
Article content
He said consideration of the submissions is helpful for him to determine a fit sentence.
His analysis of the submissions did not lead him to the same conclusion as the trial judge, and he said his view is that the precedents submitted by Ash support his submission on sentencing.
He said precedents put forward by Ash reflected the seriousness of the crimes, and there was ample case law to support the imposition of a conditional sentence.
“While there is no doubt that any assault committed in the context of an intimate partner relationship is serious, I would characterize the circumstances of these offences as being towards the lower end of the range of severity for such offences,” he said.
He described Laite as a relatively young woman with no prior record and an exemplary work record who had already suffered significant consequences because of the conviction, including the loss of her career.
“It is my view that the circumstances of this case are not such that the sentencing principles of denunciation and deterrence cannot be sufficiently addressed through a conditional sentence.”
Murphy said he would set aside the four-month jail sentence and substitute it with a 60-day conditional sentence: 15 days for the assault, and 45 days for the assault causing bodily harm.

Towards The Nation of NEWFOUNDLABRADORLAND
We should default on our crippling $20 Billion Provincial debt and $1 Billion annual interest rates and create the Country of NewfoundLabLand or other such name;
Given the massive oil, gas and natural resources NFLD // NL possess that are untapped and unrealized due to an aging and naturally lazy unentrepreneurial population Newfoudland and Labrador should leave CANADA and become THE NATON STATE pr COUNTRY OF NEWFOUNDLABRADORLAND (or some other such name ... ) The natural facts of the geograhy, location and resources make this evident and logical;
For exampple regarding Geographical Size - the size of Newfoundland and Labrador: The entire province of Newfoundland and Labrador is roughly 405,720 sq km, making it slightly larger than Norway. The size of the standalone island of Newfoundland (108,878 sq km) is significantly smaller than Norway (385,207 sq km) so about 22.5% or 1/4 the size of Norway.
Oil & Gas
Newfoundland and Labrador's discovered reserves total over 4.3 billion barrels of oil and 12.6 trillion cubic feet of natural gas.

Shirtless in Newfoundland
With the sweltering heat in the summer, it can be tempting to shed a few layers and go topless. In public spaces in Newfoundland and Labrador as in the rest of Canada, you have this right, no matter your sex or gender. But there are limits to respect. And if your rights aren’t respected, you can file a complaint.
What is a public space?
A public space is a place where anyone can go. For example: streets, sidewalks, and parks.
A right confirmed by courts
Simply being topless in public is legal. The Criminal Code doesn’t prohibit it.
Canadian courts have also confirmed this right in different decisions, notably in 1996 and 2000. You’re allowed to be topless in public, for example, when you are:
walking on the sidewalk,
riding a bike,
participating in a protest,
swimming at a beach, a pool or a water park,
sunbathing in the park, in your backyard or on your balcony.
You’re also allowed to breastfeed your child in any public space: at the park, in a store, at the movie theatre, in a hotel, at work, at the courthouse…
No one is allowed to stop you from taking your top off because of your sex or gender. For instance, municipalities and pools can’t adopt bylaws, dress codes, or policies that require only women to wear a top.

MUSLEMS IN NEWFOUNDLAND
Should Newfoundland and Labrador ban all Muslims and Muslim Immigration to the Province?
I think so. And we should do so ASAP.

Shirtless in Newfoundland
It has been in the 30's this past week and watching and/or playing soccer in Newfoundland is often doen shirtless. Now, with all the Muslims around it seems this is causing them and their supporters discomfort and consternation (which means they don't like shirtless men around them while they are in the nurqas and turbans and whatever else they wear on their eads...)
PG would like to advise everyone in Newfoundland, Labrador and across Canada it is LEGAL FOR A MAN AND A WOMAN to be topless outdoors in CANADA. Please be advised, LEGAL PRECEDENT HAS ESTABLISHED BEING SHIRTLESS IN PUBLIC IS LEGAL FOR ALL GENDERS:
Yes, being shirtless in public is generally legal for all genders across Canada, as court precedents have established "topfreedom" rights, though private businesses and certain public spaces can enforce their own dress codes.
Legal Rules and RightsGender equality: Canadian courts (such as the 1996 Ontario Court of Appeal and 2000 B.C. Supreme Court decisions) established that being bare-chested is not an inherently sexual or indecent act.Criminal Code: Section 174 prohibits public "nudity", but the law defines this as being clad in a way that violates public decency. Courts have repeatedly ruled that simply being shirtless does not cross that threshold.Local exceptions: While municipalities cannot enact blanket bans against women being topless that do not apply to men, individual venues can set rules.Where Restrictions ApplyPrivate property: Stores, restaurants, and private transit systems have the legal right to require shirts and shoes for entry.Specific public spaces: Certain public facilities, community centers, or parks may have localized rules or bylaws requiring shirts, outside of designated areas like specific beaches.
If you are planning to visit a specific place or venue, let me know the type of location (such as a park, municipal building, or store) so I can tell you if they typically require a shirt.

STUPID NEWFEES vs SMART NORWEGIANS
Why is Newfoundland and Labrador always struggling while Norway flourishes? Could it be beacuse Norwegians are smart while Newfees are stupid? hmmmmmmmmmmmm lol
Newfoundland and Norway share striking geographic, cultural, and historical parallels, featuring rugged coastal fjords, deep-rooted fishing traditions, and isolated outport communities.Geography and NatureFjords and Coastlines: Both regions feature dramatic glacial landscapes. Both have vast untapped oil reserves. So why is Norway flourishing while NL always struggles perpetually with crippling debt? Is it because Norwegians are SMART but Newfee and Labradorians are STUPID?Could it be that simple?
Newfoundland's Gros Morne National Park (such as Western Brook Pond) boasts towering cliff-walled fjords that directly rival the famous landscapes of Norway.
Size: The entire province of Newfoundland and Labrador is roughly 405,720 sq km, making it slightly larger than Norway. However, the standalone island of Newfoundland (108,878 sq km) is significantly smaller than Norway (385,207 sq km).
Flora and Fauna: Both share subarctic-to-temperate maritime ecosystems, famously producing cloudberries—known locally in Newfoundland as bakeapples.
Culture and HistoryFishing Heritage: Cod fishing historically drove the economy, settlement patterns, and resilient coastal identity in both places.
Isolated Communities: Both areas developed distinct local dialects, folk music, and tight-knit cultures due to generations of living in remote, sea-dependent villages.Viking Roots: Both share a direct Norse connection, most visibly preserved at Newfoundland's L'Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site, the only authenticated Norse settlement site in North America

Trump Calls Jewess Murkowski = Traitor!!!
President DJ Trump lashed out at Sen. Lisa Murkowski early Saturday, calling the Alaska Republican a “traitor” on social media after she joined Democrats in opposing the confirmation of acting Attorney General Todd Blanche.
Writing on Truth Social at 7:10 a.m., shortly after the Senate confirmed Blanche in a dead-of-night 50-49 vote, Trump posted that Murkowski had “no problem voting for Democratic President Joe Biden’s AG pick Merrick Garland” but claimed Blanche would “weaponize the DOJ and is too political.”
Trump added: “The same Garland that personally signed off on the raid of President Trump's home. Murkowski is owned. Traitor.”

Caden Has Heart TROUBLES - Too Bad ...
Hilarious - this is the 16 year old brat who demanded PG put on his long sleeved sweatshirt while he was watching a mixed/co-ed soccer practice at Humber Elementary Soccer pitch SHIRTLESS... BTW it is LEGAL IN CANADA FOR MEN TO GO SHIRTLESS AT SPORTSFIELDS ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS 30+ C IN AUGUST SUMMER. Humber soccer should fire this scrawny ungainly punk who cannot even coach soccer properly let alnone run and teach skills... pathetic. I instinctively knew there was soeting off with this defecive-twat when I saw him bissong around little kids trying to learn soccer when he clearly didn't even possess the necessary physical attributes and soccer skillsto coach the sport let alone play it. BUT HE SURE HAD A BIG MOUTH.
BT after seeing a group of about 20+ Arab-MUslim Famillies in Burquas and whatever the hell they call their head scarfs across the filed in another set of bleachers PG now knows why this young so-called soccer coach is so confused because these ARAB-Muslim "Famillies" must be uncomfortable with shirtless men around in summer. Pathetic Newfoundlanders do not even have the balls and guts to protect our OWN WAY OF LIFE AND CULTURE...
Caden is a 16-year-old Grade 10 student at Corner Brook Regional High School. Before he was born, he was diagnosed with a heart condition called Tetralogy of Fallot – a congenital heart defect that affects the structure of the heart. He faced his first big battle at just a few months old when he and his parents flew to Toronto Sick Kids Hospital for open heart surgery. The surgery was a success, but they were told that he would need another surgery later in his teen years. Initially his family were told that this surgery would be a less invasive procedure, but they found out in the last few days that unfortunately, this second surgery also needs to be an open heart operation, meaning that his family will once again need to head to Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto for an undetermined amount of time.
As we all know, Caden is an enthusiastic, spirited, bright light to everyone he meets. He loves sports – especially volleyball and soccer and gives every game and practice all he’s got. He is a great team-mate and coach and, along with his mom, Todie Winter, he has volunteered many hours helping the many sports organizations he has been a part of.
It’s time for us to pull together, as part of the team, to help make this experience a little less stressful for Caden and his family. They can use all of the love and support they can get. Let’s show them we all have HEART!
This scrawny brat really sucks... die soon brat. Caden Has Heart TROUBLES - Too Bad ... RIP ASAP

Tequila Bottles On Air Force 1
Boeing is currently building a pair of customized Boeing 747-200Bs in Texas that are scheduled to become the next Air Force One jets in 2025. According to a news report by The Wall Street Journal, two empty mini tequila bottles were found on the fuselage of one of the future Air Force One jets. Alcohol bottles near the assembly area of an aircraft is a red flag, but we are talking about the Air Force One, which makes it extremely worrisome. It goes without saying that the Air Force One jet that flies the President of the US is one of the most sophisticated and secretive aircraft in the world. All the Boeing employees working on the pair of jets have security clearance from the secret service due to the sensitive nature of the project.
Big Number
$3.9 billion. That's how much Boeing is getting paid to construct the planes, as part of a contract agreed to with President Donald Trump's administration in 2018.
Key Background
Boeing told the Air Force earlier this year that delivery of the first plane may slip to 2025—a year later than planned. In April, Boeing terminated a contract with GDC, the company it had hired to design and build the planes' interiors, which it said had fallen a year behind schedule, and filed a lawsuit against it. In a countersuit, GDC blamed the delays on Boeing mismanagement of the project. The planes are 747s that are being heavily modified with military-grade avionics, defense systems and secure communications systems so that they can serve as aerial stand-ins for the White House. The planes were originally built for a Russian airline that went bankrupt and never accepted the planes.
Trump Graft-Jets
For months, speculation centered on the idea that the Boeing 747-8 gifted by Qatar would eventually find a permanent home at the proposed presidential library in Miami. Instead, the museum’s star attraction is now expected to be a far older aircraft with a much deeper presidential legacy. The planned centerpiece will be SAM 29000, one of the two Boeing VC-25A aircraft that have served as Air Force One since the early 1990s, bringing nearly four decades of history under one roof.
https://luxurylaunches.com/transport/air-force-one-to-be-centerpiece-of-miami-presidential-library-08062026.php
Isn't this Government Graft? Undue influence? Where is the Israeli Air Force One?
Look for Trump's kids and his Grandkids' kids to be flying this down the road.

Mark Cuban Reading List
Mark Cuban didn't mince words. In a CNBC interview, he said: "Somebody 40 and over, even 30 and over, if you're not reading, you're f---ed… because you're not expanding your mind." Then he added something that really got me: "Somebody who doesn't read lives one life, somebody who reads an unlimited number of lives."
I read maybe one book last year — and I'm not sure I finished it. So that landed.
The thing is, Cuban reads more than 3 hours every day. Warren Buffett devotes roughly 80% of his working day to reading. Bill Gates gets through about 50 books a year. According to Time magazine, this is the single habit ultra-successful people share above all others. I believed it. I just couldn't see how it applied to me. Between work, a commute, and trying to cook something that isn't toast, I'm lucky to get through two pages before falling asleep with a book on my face.
But Cuban's words stuck. If not reading means living only one life — I wanted more than that. So I tried something different. I downloaded an app called Blinkist and committed to using it every day for 30 days. Here's what happened.
Even Apple recommends Blinkist for those who are lifelong learners, naming it one of the best apps in the world. And Apple CEO Tim Cook — himself a Blinkist user — even stopped by the Berlin office to see what the fuss was about.
Blinkist gathers the key insights from nonfiction books into 15-minute reads and listens. There are over 9,000 titles across 27 categories including entrepreneurship, management and leadership, and personal development.
More than 43 million people are now expanding their horizons with Blinkist. The app is loved by everyone from The New York Times to Forbes.
“Blinkist encourages you to read more nonfiction books. The app contains cleverly written digests — called blinks — where books are broken down into their main arguments.”
– The New York Times
So, what did I actually find after 30 days of using it?
1. A Book Explained in 15 Minutes — and I Mean Actually 15 Minutes
The first thing I noticed: it takes the average person 10 hours to read a book. I knew I didn't have that. What I did have was a 14-minute commute and a habit of staring at my phone during it.
With Blinkist, the most powerful ideas from a book are shared in short audio and text explainers. It only takes 15 minutes to read or listen to them — so I started doing one every morning on the way to work. Breakfast, commute, walking the dog. Suddenly I had slots I hadn't seen before.
Plus, there are 40 new titles added to the app every month, so even the most voracious reader will never run out of great content.
2. It’s Backed By Science — Which Is Why It Actually Sticks
I'll be honest: I was skeptical that a 15-minute summary could replace a full book. But by week two, I was retaining things. Ideas from what I'd listened to on Monday were showing up in conversations on Thursday.
That's not an accident. At Blinkist, there's a dedicated team of experts who sift through the millions of books published each year to find the best ones out there. Not just bestsellers — the hidden gems, the timeless classics, the books written for intellectuals, by intellectuals.
‘When we started most apps were for social media or gaming. We wanted to do something different and build an app that would add genuine value to someone’s life’ — Holger Seim, Blinkist co-founder.
Once the books are selected, our specialist editors identify the key insights in each book and turn them into bite-sized explainers. The best part? All of the content is created using neuroscientific principles making all the information easy to understand and remember.
Take a look — here's the explainer to international bestseller Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari.

3. It Killed My Doomscrolling — Without Me Even Trying
Around day 10, I noticed something I hadn't planned for. I'd stopped reaching for Instagram in the gaps. Not because I forced myself — but because Blinkist had quietly taken that slot.
You know those moments when you catch yourself endlessly swiping through social media? It's something an alarmingly high amount of people suffer from and it's called "doom-scrolling", a phenomenon that leaves people feeling tired and angry.
What happened to me is apparently common. 80% of Blinkist users say they are more likely to spend time on Blinkist than scroll through social media. The idle minutes that used to disappear into a feed were now going somewhere I actually felt good about. Here's what some of them are saying:
“This app should be in Essentials category: One of the best app purchased. I have been a member for 6+ years and I don’t think I will ever stop. This is a learning experience that truly enhances my life.”
–5 star review on the Apple Store
So, say goodbye to mindless scrolling and hello to a new habit that'll feed your curiosity, spark intellectual growth, and help you become a better you. No wonder Apple and many of its users recommend it:
“This has been the biggest boost to my productivity / lifelong learning ever. Honestly, I can’t think of a better habit to start than Blinkist.”
–5 star review on the Apple Store
4. The Audio Feature Changed Everything for Me
By week three, I'd shifted almost entirely to audio. I was listening while making coffee, during my commute, on a walk at lunch. That's when Cuban's quote came back to me — "somebody who reads an unlimited number of lives." I wasn't sitting down with a book for three hours. But I was living inside other people's ideas while doing the dishes. That counts.
The app became particularly popular when the audio feature was introduced. It made it possible for big thinkers to listen to every title in the app, which means learning never has to wait until you have time to sit down.
Today, listening is the most popular way to consume the packs of actionable insights, with around 70% of users opting to listen to Blinkist. This is no surprise — over 30% of people learn and retain information better when it's heard rather than read.
5. I'm Not the Only One Who Noticed a Difference
I thought my experience might be a fluke. Then I looked at the reviews. Blinkist has over 94K five-star ratings across iTunes and Google Play stores — and the pattern in what people write is remarkably consistent. It's not "great app." It's specific moments, specific habits, specific slots in the day that changed.
“Perfect for populating your mind with smart thoughts and the latest research. I use the audio format while in transportation.”

abundance mentality vs scarcity mindset
A mindset framework contrasts a scarcity and an abundance outlook, originally popularized by Stephen Covey, by defining how people view resources, opportunities, and success.Key DifferencesScarcity MindsetBelief that resources, time, and money are strictly limited.Views life as a zero-sum game where one person's win is another's loss.Focuses heavily on fear, anxiety, and protecting what you have.Drives heavy competition, envy, and short-term choices.Abundance MindsetBelief that there is plenty of success, opportunity, and potential for everyone.Views growth as unlimited and achievable through creativity and collaboration.Focuses on gratitude, sharing, and long-term thinking.Encourages openness to new ideas, trust, and mutual benefit.
Money and Finances
Scarcity: Hoarding cash out of fear, stressing over every purchase, and believing that spending money means you will never get it back.
Abundance: Viewing money as a renewable tool, investing in future growth, and spending comfortably on things that add value to life.
Workplace and Career
Scarcity: Seeing co-workers as direct rivals, hiding information, and fearing that a colleague's promotion blocks your own success.Abundance: Celebrating team wins, mentoring others, and believing that a rising tide lifts all boats because new career opportunities can always be created.
Time Management
Scarcity: Feeling like there is never enough hours, rushing through tasks anxiously, and refusing to help others because it wastes your schedule.
Abundance: Prioritizing deep work, setting healthy boundaries, and treating time as flexible enough to balance rest, work, and relationships.Relationships and Feedback
Scarcity: Feeling jealous or threatened when a friend or partner spends time with other people, or taking constructive feedback as a personal attack.Abundance: Welcoming outside connections with joy, viewing love and friendship as limitless, and using feedback as a helpful tool to improve.

Rock Fjords
Western Brook Pond is a striking landlocked freshwater fjord located in Gros Morne National Park on the west coast of Newfoundland, Canada. Carved by glaciers and cut off from the sea over 9,000 years ago, it features sheer 600-metre (2,000-foot) cliffs and dramatic cascading waterfalls.Key FactsGeography: Located in the Long Range Mountains (northern Appalachian range).Water: Reaches depths of 165 metres (541 feet) and is filled with pure fresh water.Access: Reached via a flat, well-maintained 3 km (1.86-mile) walking trail from Route 430.Operations: Seasonal boat tours run from mid-May to mid-October via Bontours.Visitor OptionsEasy Walk: A 4.5 km round-trip flat trail through coastal forests and bogs to the dock.Boat Tour: A 2-hour guided catamaran cruise floating between the massive rock walls.Backcountry Hiking: Strenuous gorge and summit hikes (like the Long Range Traverse) for experienced hikers.
Corner Brook Pond sits on the scenic Bay of Islands rather than a true geological fjord, though travel guides and photography often use the term "Corner Brook fjord" to describe the dramatic, steep-cliffs and deep inlet coastal views surrounding the area and the nearby Humber Arm.Geographic ContextBay of Islands: Corner Brook opens onto this large, deep bay featuring islands like Tweed Island, Great Island, and middle arm inlets.True Fjords Nearby: The famous glaciated rock-walled landlocked fjord of Western Brook Pond is located north in Gros Morne National Park, about a 1.5 to 2-hour drive from Corner Brook.Scenic HighlightsCaptain Cook’s Lookout: Offers panoramic views of the water channel and surrounding hills.South Shore/Bay of Islands Coastal Road: Drives toward Lark Harbour and Bottle Cove feature steep, fjord-like coastal cliffs plunging into the ocean.

NooFinLAND & LabradorLAND The Next Iceland & Greenland
Is Newfoundland the next Iceland? Probably not. But it should be and more so ... Here's why:
NewfoundIsland and LabradorLand do not have to be either Iceland or Greenland for you to enjoy its isolated and alluring scenery, landscapes that time forgot and scenic sea encounters. For now, Newfoundland remains a well-kept and sleepy secret.
Best time to visit: May-June for icebergs; June-August for heavenly hiking weather; May-September for whales. Getting there: From the United States. one or two connecting flights are required to get to St. John’s.
Over the past decade, tourism to Iceland has reached meteoric heights, making it one of the fastest-growing destinations in the world. The number of foreign visitors to the Nordic nation topped 2 million in 2017, which is six times greater than its total population. The attention is well-deserved.
But 1,500 miles to the southwest, there exists a similarly sized, ruggedly good-looking and equally remote island that most travelers still overlook, aren’t sure who owns and can’t even pronounce: Newfoundland.
Spoken as “Noo-fn-land” (rhymes with “understand”), this wind-blown but colorful Virginia-sized island of Canada could easily pass as offspring of Norway and Scotland, in addition to parts of the aforementioned Iceland.
Coupled with mainland Labrador as a single province, Newfoundland is home to the most fantastic fjord in North America, the first Viking settlement on the continent (some 400 years before Columbus reached the New World), remarkable hiking trails, year-round sea encounters and sophisticated cuisine.
What’s more, you can comfortably travel the island by road trip on the Trans-Canada highway to get to the best coastal gems. Admittedly, it doesn’t have as much fire and ice as Iceland, but if you prefer sharing your next adventure with far fewer people and at a much slower pace, here’s why unspoiled Newfoundland is worth the extra flights required to get there.
A Canadian favorite
Of the half million annual tourists that visit the province, 80% are fellow Canadians from the mainland – only 100,000 visitors are foreign. So while the rest of world has yet to discover the province’s Ireland-like charm, Canadians have been coming here for decades and hold it with even higher regard than some of their more renowned provinces, including British Columbia and Alberta.
Newfoundland’s distinctive good looks are a big, if not primary, reason for that. That goes for the entire coastline as well as the bigger national parks in the western region.
Although the island is not as volcanic, mountainous or glacier-filled as the titular Iceland comparison, it’s just as colorful, enjoys significantly more wildlife and will cause nearly ever visitor to wonder in awe, “Where in the world am I?”
Stunning sights
For the few who venture to Newfoundland, most of them come for one (or all) of the following: the immortal views of Western Brook Fjord (which is ironically called a “pond” but looks like a slightly shorter Yosemite flooded by navy blue water), year-round whale sightings (both humpback and minke), and blue arctic icebergs that migrate every summer by the thousands down from Greenland to Newfoundland’s northern and eastern shores.
The fjord itself can be boated in three hours, hiked via the eastern gulch in a day to the picturesque top, or included as part of a multiday backpacking trip along the Long Range Traverse through greater Gros Morne National Park, the highest-rated attraction on the island.
Not far from there, travelers can watch the sun set over the Atlantic at the arch-filled and aptly named Arches Provincial Park. Is this the most European city in North America?
Wildlife encounters
In the popular town of Bonavista, visitors stand the greatest chance of whale sightings. An hour away, they can also hike the island’s second best hike – the jagged and emerald covered sedimentary rock of the Skerwink Trail, which overlooks the ocean.
In the town of Cape St. Mary’s, tourists can maximize their puffin and bird sightings. For two weeks every summer, officials lift the annual cod moratorium so visitors can freely fish without a permit (check with guides for exact dates).
But the most moving “animal” isn’t even an animal. When encountered, 10,000-year-old icebergs can hiss, crackle and pop while glowing a luminescent and lively blue.
Contrary to what you remember from grade school, the first-known European presence in North America happened on the appropriately named Newfoundland.
Located on the tip of the Great Northern Peninsula, L’Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site displays 1,000-year-old Norse or Viking archaeological settlements.
In the outpost communities of Fogo Island and Change Islands, visitors can wonder just how isolated and difficult life can sometimes be in the farthest corners of Earth.
But Newfoundland heritage also lives in the present. You can find it among the colorful coastal houses in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador’s capital and home to close to 200,000 people.
You can find it at relaxing Cape Spear, where an 1836 lighthouse marks the most easterly point of North America. You can find it along the East Coast Trail, which serves as the spiritual if unofficial “last section” of the Appalachian Trail. And you can certainly find it in the delectable and colloquial bakeapple (aka “cloudberry”) jam, the world-class seafood and the independent but welcoming residents.
Earth’s four corners
In a word, Newfoundland is otherworldly, even if it’s far less familiar than Iceland. Furthermore, Newfoundland has that “corner of the world” feeling.
Is Newfoundland the next Iceland? Probably not BUT it should and could be ICELAND AND GREENLAND COMBINED...
But it doesn’t have to be EITHER for you to enjoy its isolated and alluring scenery, landscapes that time forgot and scenic sea encounters. For now, Newfoundland remains a well-kept and sleepy secret.
Best time to visit: May-June for icebergs; June-August for heavenly hiking weather; May-September for whales. Getting there: From the United States. one or two connecting flights are required to get to St. John’s.

Why Isn't Newfound-Island & Labrador-Land Successful Like Norway?
Size of Newfoundland and Labrador: The entire province of Newfoundland and Labrador is roughly 405,720 sq km, making it slightly larger than Norway.
Size of the standalone island of Newfoundland (108,878 sq km) is significantly smaller than Norway (385,207 sq km) so about 22.5% or 1/4 the size of Norway.
Oil & Gas Reserves Between Norway & NL LB Compared
Newfoundland and Labrador's discovered reserves total over 4.3 billion barrels of oil and 12.6 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Geoscience data indicates an even larger in-place potential of roughly 63 billion barrels of oil and 224 trillion cubic feet of natural gas across its vast offshore basins.

Exploration Scope: Less than 10% of the province's 1.8 million square kilometre offshore area is currently under license, leaving extensive frontier basins—such as the Labrador Shelf and the Orphan Basin—largely under-explored.

Newfoundland, Labrador and Iceland share striking North Atlantic ruggedness, dramatic coastlines, and Viking history, but differ sharply in scale and style. The island of Newfoundland alone is roughly the same physical size as all of Iceland (~103,000 km²), though the entire Canadian province—including Labrador—is nearly four times larger.Geography and NatureIceland: Features active volcanic terrain, geysers, black sand beaches, and dramatic glaciers shaped by subterranean heat ("fire and ice").Newfoundland and Labrador: Features ancient sculpted fjords like Gros Morne National Park, immense spring icebergs drifting down Iceberg Alley from Greenland, and massive boreal forests and tundra in Labrador.Culture and Travel ExperienceIceland: A bustling global tourism hotspot seeing millions of yearly visitors, featuring modern Nordic design alongside higher mid-range travel costs.Newfoundland and Labrador: Offers a quieter, deeply traditional pace with distinct Irish-English dialects, colorful outport fishing villages, and renowned local hospitality, often at a lower daily travel cost.HistoryIceland: Settled heavily by Norse and Viking explorers in the 9th century.Newfoundland and Labrador: Home to L'Anse aux Meadows, the earliest proven European settlement in North America, established by Vikings roughly 500 years before Columbus
Black Professor Discriminated Against
Cambridge University has confirmed it will press ahead with an investigation into a professor who resigned this week amid a plagiarism row, stating that its findings will inform a review of how senior academic roles are appointed.
Professor Jason Arday stepped down from his high-profile position on Wednesday after the prestigious institution launched a probe into his "academic qualifications and honorary appointments".
The resignation follows a series of media reports alleging that Prof Arday, who became Cambridge’s youngest black professor in 2023, plagiarised his PhD thesis, completed at Liverpool John Moores University, and other research. Further questions were raised in the press regarding the veracity of other claims made by the professor of sociology of education, including assertions that he ran 600 miles in six days and raised £5.5 million for charity.

In a statement released on Friday, Cambridge confirmed: "As has been widely reported, Jason Arday has resigned from his post at the university with immediate effect. Regardless of this, and for clarification, the university will continue to investigate the circumstances around Jason Arday’s appointment and tenure.
“The findings will feed into a review of the process for the appointment of senior academic roles. In addition, and as previously stated, the university’s Research Policy Committee will review the misconduct in research policy."
