Golden retriever being introduced to new sibling melts hearts
A 3-year-old golden retriever being introduced to her new puppy sibling has melted hearts online this week. On TikTok, user kembaandbronny shared the video with more than 26,000 followers, and it has since been viewed more than 6 million times. In the video, Kemba, the resident pup, rushes into the room to meet new puppy Bronny, who is tucked away in a basket ready for his new sister to discover him. Dogs are social animals that enjoy the company of others, according to the American Kennel Club (AKC). Picking out a new puppy is a big step, and before bringing your new arrival home, it is important to prepare your resident dog for the change. "When they first enter their new home, puppies have a lot to learn, both from you and the established dog," the AKC said. Supervising interactions between the two dogs at first is very important to ensure that the elder dog isn't overwhelmed and gets a break from the puppy a few times a day. "Eventually, with an introduction that … [Read more...] about Golden retriever being introduced to new sibling melts hearts

New Hulu documentary reveals dark discoveries about Victoria’s Secret
Sign up for our Remote Control newsletter to receive the best of streaming in your inbox every week. For decades, mallgoers, slightly confused teenage girls and horny teenage boys have wondered what secret this mysterious Victoria is hiding. The new three-part Hulu docuseries “Victoria’s Secret: Angels and Demons” explores these secrets and, well, they are less “she only wears thongs (wink)” and more “wait, was this brand just a lot of pink thongs covering up the very real exploitation of underage girls?” The media has long covered the shift in our awareness of the retouching and beyond-unreal expectations of women’s bodies, but what was going on behind the scenes at Victoria’s Secret has somehow remained mostly under wraps. You will be stunned to know that a brand built under the guise of female empowerment was created by very powerful men, who hired mostly other powerful men, who were allegedly secretly exploiting young girls, and then sold that manufactured “brand” … [Read more...] about New Hulu documentary reveals dark discoveries about Victoria’s Secret
House prices on average £20,000 more expensive today than 12 months ago
House prices in the UK are on average £20,000 more expensive than they were this time last year, despite showing signs that this growth is starting to slow. Average house prices increased by 7.8% in the year from May 2021 to June, according to the Office for National Statistics. This was down from an increase of 12.8% in May 2022. Experts say that a perfect storm is heading for the UK’s property market, a combination of increasing mortgage costs, record inflation levels and the steep cost of living . These factors will all continue to undermine demand levels in the coming months. But over the past 12 months, the story has been one of growth, driven by low property numbers, lots of available capital, low interest rates and a desire to change homes during the pandemic. Average prices increased over the past year to £305,000 in England, £213,000 in Wales, £192,000 in Scotland and £169,000 in Northern Ireland.

The Kate Bush Resurgence Is a Reminder That We Can Have Nice Things
Much of the music that defined my early-2000s adolescence was written before I could walk. Listening to CD-Rs filled with songs that had been ripped from the internet, my friends and I warbled to the Pixies’ 1988 oddity “Where Is My Mind?,” moped to Tears for Fears’ 1982 dirge “Mad World” (and its 2001 cover by Gary Jules and Michael Andrews), and mewled to various versions of Leonard Cohen’s 1984 masterpiece “Hallelujah.” These songs had entered our teenage consciousness because they’d been featured in mind-blowing contemporary movies: Fight Club , Donnie Darko , and, of course, Shrek . Today, visual media remain a portal between young listeners and older artists. Thanks to its placement in the new season of the Netflix sci-fi series Stranger Things , Kate Bush’s 1985 hit “ Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) ” has again become a global sensation. Pop radio stations are slotting Bush’s operatic trills between Harry Styles’s mumbles and Lizzo’s flute tooting. … [Read more...] about The Kate Bush Resurgence Is a Reminder That We Can Have Nice Things
U.S. Retail Sales Indicate The Fed Has A Lot More Work To Do To Bring Down Inflation
The sharp decline in gasoline prices and a fall in sales of motor vehicle purchases left retail sales flat for July but consumer activity at other types of businesses picked up, a troubling sign for the Federal Reserve’s campaign to bring down inflation. Sales across the retail sector in July were flat with the prior month, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. Compared with a year ago, sales are up 10.1 percent. A big part of the flat-lining was due to falling sales as gas stations, similar to the way gas prices kept the headline inflation figure announced last week flat. Excluding gas stations, retail sales rose 0.4 percent in July. Sales of motor vehicles and parts were down 1.7 percent for the month, despite a big increase in the production of cars and trucks reported by the Federal Reserve Tuesday . Excluding autos and gasoline, sales were up 0.7 percent. Compared with year ago, retail sales minus gas and autos are up 9.3 percent. Retail sales excluding gas and … [Read more...] about U.S. Retail Sales Indicate The Fed Has A Lot More Work To Do To Bring Down Inflation
New Reports Talk About Whether Schools Are Doing Enough To Help With The Mental Health of Youths
For fourth-grader Leah Rainey, the school day now begins with what her teacher calls an “emotional check-in.” “It’s great to see you. How are you feeling?” chirps a cheery voice on her laptop screen. It asks her to click an emoji matching her state of mind: Happy. Sad. Worried. Angry. Frustrated. Calm. Silly. Tired. Depending on the answer, Leah, 9, gets advice from a cartoon avatar on managing her mood and a few more questions: Have you eaten breakfast? Are you hurt or sick? Is everything OK at home? Is someone at school being unkind? Today, Leah chooses “silly,” but says she struggled with sadness during online learning. At Lakewood Elementary School, all 420 students will start their days the same way this year. The rural Kentucky school is one of thousands across the country using the technology to screen students’ state of mind and alert teachers to anyone struggling. In some ways, this year’s back-to-school season will restore a degree of pre-pandemic normalcy: Most … [Read more...] about New Reports Talk About Whether Schools Are Doing Enough To Help With The Mental Health of Youths
