No matter where they live in the world, no matter what their cultural or family influences: Women are better at empathizing with other people than men, according to a study from the University of Cambridge. Researchers used empathy test results from 306,000 people across 57 countries, and found that in 36 countries, women scored significantly higher in their cognitive empathy scores than men did. In 21 of the countries, women’s and men’s scores were similar. There wasn’t a single country in which men scored better, on average, than women. The results held across 8 languages and were consistent across all ages, between 16 and 70 years old.

equivalent of “75 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity
per week by walking in ‘Teabag style’ (demonstrated in the
sketch), rather than their usual style, for about 11 minutes per
day.” LINK: https://youtu.be/FhRLg0IDyhM

Prince Harry looks like he’s ready to reconcile with his family. But in a trailer for his upcoming interview with ITV 1, the Duke of Sussex says his efforts to mend his relationships with King Charles and Prince William seem fruitless. Harry says: “They’ve shown absolutely no willingness to reconcile. I would like to get my father back. I would like to have my brother back.” The royal indicates that he’s looking to have a “family” instead of an “institution,” though The Firm feels differently about him and his wife, Meghan Markle, preferring to keep them “as the villains”. The interview airs this Sunday.
