Sponsor - Hon. adriana laGrange, Minister of Primary and Preventative Health Services.
Moving second reading, her own words -
This bill reflects a clear and practical vision for health care in Alberta, one that is focused on access, grounded in evidence, and responsive to the realities facing Alberta patients today."
I'm going to disagree with her.

Her three stated pillars, verbatim.
Expanding preventative health testing access,
Improving timely access to essential medications "particularly for those living with addictions,"
And completing -
"the legislative framework required to support Alberta's refocused health care system."

Wildberries, Russia's largest online retailer, hid military goods from war-related searches after Ukrainian drones hit seven warehouses since July 18.

A guy had carried the same Mastercard for 6 years.
He used it for everything groceries, gas, dining, online shopping, travel, subscriptions. He earned cashback. He paid the balance. That was his entire relationship with the card. Swipe, earn, pay, repeat.
His sister a financial planner who reviews client credit card portfolios for a living asked him one question during a family dinner: "Have you ever read your card's Guide to Benefits?"
He didn't know what that was.
She pulled out her phone, navigated to his card issuer's website, logged into his account, and found a 47-page PDF titled "Guide to Benefits." Every Mastercard from the basic tier to World Legend comes with this document. It lists every protection, insurance, and perk included with the card. Nobody reads it. The card issuer never emails it. The welcome packet buries it. The app doesn't surface it.
She opened the guide and started reading aloud. Purchase protection for damaged or stolen items. Extended warranty that doubles the manufacturer's coverage. Rental car insurance. Trip cancellation insurance. Trip delay reimbursement. Lost luggage coverage. ID theft protection. A concierge service. And a platform called Priceless Experiences with VIP event access most cardholders don't know exists.
He sat there for 10 seconds. Then he said what every cardholder says when they hear the list for the first time: "Why didn't they tell me any of this?"
She said: "Because every benefit you claim costs them money. The card makes them money whether you claim the benefits or not."
Here's every benefit hiding inside that 47-page PDF 🧵

Here's every benefit hiding inside that 47-page PDF 🧵
She started by explaining something most people fundamentally misunderstand about credit cards.
"You think you're paying for the privilege of borrowing money. You're not. You're paying for access to a financial product with 9–12 built-in protections that function like insurance policies you never purchased. The cashback is the part they advertise. The protections are the part they bury."
She told him Mastercard operates on a tiered benefit system. There are 4 tiers Mastercard (standard), World Mastercard, World Elite Mastercard, and World Legend Mastercard. Each tier unlocks progressively more benefits. The tier name is printed on the card itself usually on the front or back in small text most people never read.
She checked his card. World Elite Mastercard. The second-highest tier. He'd been carrying it for 6 years without knowing which tier he was on or what that tier included.
She told him World Elite is the tier most mid-to-premium credit cards fall into including many cards from major issuers like Citi, Capital One, and smaller banks. People choose these cards based on rewards rates and annual fees. Nobody chooses them based on the protections buried inside the 47-page Guide to Benefits because nobody knows the guide exists.
She opened the guide on her phone and started with the benefit she said saves the most money for people who don't know they have it.
Here are the 9 benefits she walked him through.

Here are the 9 benefits she walked him through.
Benefit 1: Purchase Protection the insurance policy for everything you buy.
She asked him a question. "In the last 6 years, have you ever broken, damaged, or had something stolen within a few months of buying it?"
He thought about it. A pair of sunglasses that fell off a boat 3 weeks after purchase $180. A tablet his kid cracked 6 weeks after Christmas $450. A jacket that was stolen from a restaurant coat rack 2 months after he bought it $220. He listed 3 incidents totaling $850. He'd absorbed the cost every time because he assumed broken means broken and stolen means gone.
She told him every one of those losses was covered.
World Elite Mastercard includes Purchase Protection that reimburses cardholders when items purchased with the card are damaged or stolen within 90 to 120 days of purchase depending on the specific card. Coverage ranges from $500 to $1,000 per claim with an annual cap of $50,000.
The sunglasses that fell off the boat covered. The cracked tablet covered. The stolen jacket covered. Three claims he never filed. $850 he never recovered. Because he didn't know the card in his wallet functioned as an insurance policy for virtually everything he bought with it.
She told him the claims process is straightforward. Call the number on the back of the card. Describe the incident. Submit the receipt, a photo of the damage or a police report for theft, and a brief written description. Most claims are processed within 2–4 weeks. The reimbursement is deposited or credited to the account.
He'd been carrying $50,000/year in purchase protection for 6 years. He'd used it zero times. Not because the incidents didn't happen. Because nobody told him the protection existed.

If your iPhone has been hot and dying fast since late June, it's not your battery. It's update 26.5.2.
Here's how to fix it without waiting for Apple:👇

Why It's Draining
26.5.2 landed June 29 and people have reported fast drain and overheating ever since.
Every update makes your phone re-scan every file and photo to rebuild its index, spiking heat and drain for a few days.
For most people it never settles, because the settings below are draining it on top of that.

HAILEY BIEBER IS TAKING PEPTIDES
"I love peptides. That is the base of all of Rhode’s skincare. When we launched it, we launched everything with peptides in it, it’s like our biggest ingredient in most of our stuff. I think peptides are really amazing. I think there are certain peptides you can take that are really good for hair, skin, and nails, like GHK-Cu, which is the copper peptide, something I take. And then I take these really good hair gummies that are peptides. I’ve taken immunity peptides before, which I think really worked. Some of them you have to inject, some of them you can take orally—they don’t all work the same. There’s one called BPC-157 that you can take orally. It’s really good for the gut, muscle repair, and recovery. I can keep going on and on and on."

New thread for Part 2 of 28 July afternoon.
AM we accept that it has been possible to have more scrutiny at this 2 day hearing, but it is not remotely comparable of the detail and quality of evidence that the Cs could put forward in a full hearing. The summary ground for the Ds appeared 10 days ago.
And there is a tremendous amount of material produced by the Ds as well. And there is a great deal of material put forward, including a 2,600 page document put forward after the deadline. And the Ds say you're not coming to it cold, given the 7 previous hearings, but there are
In discussing whether excavations should be done at @tkemlups, the following exchange took place (part 1 of 3):
@AaronPete_: "Do you think they should excavate in Kamloops"?
@KarenRestoule: "I think it is on every family and nation to determine what is best for them".

Part 2/3:
@AaronPete_: "Even if it causes polarization across the country...?"
@KarenResoule: "I don't think it's anybody's business other than the family...what's driving Canadians' interest in this conversation is the millions of dollars that the government has extended..."

Part 3 of 3:
@AaronPete_: "then why apply for the money, if the goal isn't to excavate and to get some of those answers?"
@KarenRestoule: "the risk is that you could take some of those government funds...and it may turn out that it is not the spot where they're laid to rest".

~1.I've never seen someone with as low an IQ as you till today. You just keep making a fool of your own followers. You haven't refuted a single thing of us till now, it's just your same old cry-baby drama. Now you watch how I kick your ass right here.
2.All the sources clearly refer to the rulers of Vamansthali as Abhira/Ahir - Hemachandra's Dvyasraya Kavya, Merutunga's Prabandha-Chintamani, and Muhnot Nainsi's Nainsi ri Khyat - but this ignorant bastard lil boy just can't see it even when it's right in front of him.
~3. Even the early Chudasama rulers were referred to as Ābhīra Rāṇaka. Ābhīra denotes the tribe, while Rāṇaka is the title. So Ābhīra Rāṇaka means 'an Ābhīra holding the rank of Rāṇaka,' not 'a Rāṇa ruling the Ābhīras.'
So, my colleague @RickKahlenberg has been in a fight with the entire academic field of American Studies, which feels relevant to all the recent discussions about why academia has lost the public's trust. 🧵
It started with this report, in which he and Lief Lin looked at 3 years of articles at the field's top journal, American Quarterly. It found that 77 of them had a negative/critical view of the U.S., 19 were neutral, and 0 were positive.

As they argued at the WSJ, this lopsidedness seems like a problem. Obviously, its critical for academics to explore America's failings. But the complete disinterest in the country's good side or successes is a massive blindspot. wsj.com/opinion/americ…
