It’s definitely important to learn from our mistakes. But according to a new “study of failure”, even the most dedicated surgeons, at some point, stop benefiting from the knowledge that comes from their own mistakes. Awkward — especially when you are a surgeon! Researchers Sunkee Lee and Jisoo Park studied 307 surgeons performing coronary artery surgeries over a 16-year period. Initially, as expected, surgeons’ performance improved as they experienced and learned from failures. Each time a patient was lost, it provided valuable information that could be applied to future surgeries. The problem? There was a tipping point where the learning effect tapered off — and eventually reversed. That means surgeons who had experienced a high number of failures actually performed worse than those with fewer failures under their belt. The researchers think this may be because repeated failures take an emotional and psychological toll, and as failures accumulate, these negative emotions can start to drown out the motivation to learn.

Britney Spears says she was robbed at home. In an Instagram video, she alleged that “all” her jewelry was stolen. The clip shows her opening and closing a jewelry box that was mostly empty. She explains: “There’s nothing. Well, there’s a Mother Mary. … I’m scared. It’s all gone. All my jewelry is gone.” A spokesperson for the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office said on Monday that they hadn’t “received any calls for service regarding any reports of theft from Spears’ residence.” Despite the alleged burglary, Spears posted a video shortly afterward in which she appeared in good spirits, claiming in one that she “dropped 12 sizes” and wrote in another that she wants a tongue piercing.

Those who claim to know, say that one of the growing wedding trends these days is to ban the use of cell phones. Many couples are said to be enforcing a ‘no-phone’ mandate at their wedding as a way of focusing “the entire energy of the whole ceremony onto what’s actually happening and that sacred moment of the actual wedding,” according to Toronto-based photographer Jennifer van Son. That way, the couple can look out at their guests and see their actual faces, and maybe a few tears of joy, rather than a bunch of phone cameras staring back at them. But oddly, it isn’t the screen-obsessed Zoomers ruining the fun by holding their phones up. It’s the “boomers” who have become notorious for snapping grainy pics that they’ll probably post on Facebook after the reception — even at the risk of ruining the professional photographs — which cost a pretty penny. Younger generations are said to “get” phone etiquette in a way that older generations just don’t, sometimes.

In Calgary, Alberta, Canada, a guy had a little start-up drug business outside a casino in Calgary and sales weren’t as good as he had hoped. So, he did what any bozo would do, he decided to advertise by handing out business cards…with a small baggie of cocaine attached to the back of the card. It didn’t take long before the cops got wind of his little operation and, since his phone number and contact information were right there on the card, he was pretty easy to track down. They found him in possession of 50 baggies of cocaine, a digital scale with drug residue, and $1280 in cash. Cops also seized a box of business cards with the name “Alex Lee.” Busted! Charged with possession of drugs with intent to distribute.

Dear John

I've been secretly dating my boyfriend for a few months. In the beginning, we both agreed to keep this relationship a secret until we knew it was going to work out.

Do we just pretend to start dating now? Please help. I think I might marry him, but neither one of us want to hurt my brother. What do we do?

A new study published in Classical and Quantum Gravity reveals that a group of scientists have discovered a loophole in Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, which seems to make faster-than-light travel achievable. It’s a long, technical explanation, but the researchers, from various institutions, say that it’s possible to create a “warp bubble” that compresses spacetime in front of a spaceship, and expands it behind, just like the warp drive on shows like “Star Trek”. The researchers showed mathematically that this “physical warp drive” obeys all the known energy conditions of general relativity.

Sean Baker’s romantic dramedy “Anora” scooped the Cannes Film Festival’s top prize, the Palme d’Or. It was Baker’s second time in the competition after 2021’s “Red Rocket”, and he said the accolade has been his “singular goal as a filmmaker for the past 30 years.” Anora stars Mikey Madison as a stripper from Brooklyn who transforms into a modern Cinderella when she meets the son of a Russian oligarch. Complications arise when his parents find out and try to get the marriage annulled.

The high-budget action epic was practically neck-and-neck for first place with the animated adaptation “The Garfield Movie” domestically. Latest projections have Garfield opening above $31 million over 4 days.

Sure, a voice assistant can be a handy thing to have, but would you play a subscription charge for one? It has been reported that Amazon plans to introduce a new AI-powered, “more conversational” version of Alexa – and will charge a monthly subscription fee. While there’s no word yet on what the monthly cost of the new services will be, a subscription to Alexa will not be included in its popular annual Prime offering, according to the report. Amazon introduced Alexa in 2014, but has not found a consistent means to make it profitable. The company said last year that it was working on a generative AI-powered version of Alexa, amid growing competition from chatbots made by OpenAI and Google.

News broke last week of the inaugural flight of BARK Air. The first airline catering to dogs – and their owners, departed from New York and touched down in Los Angeles. One ticket on the sold-out flight cost $6,000, and included fare for one dog and one human companion. The airline, 10 years in the making, claims that “Every single detail of this flight experience has been crafted with a ‘dogs-first’ mindset.” Such as? It starts with a waiting lounge filled with treats — and a speedy check-in. Doggos were also given noise-canceling ear muffs and “calming” jackets to ensure a stress-free and enjoyable flight. BARK Air also offers an onboard spa for the pups, and a menu featuring “doggie champagne” and “barkaccinos.” Each flight includes a maximum of 10 dogs plus their humans, “to ensure you and your dog have enough room to spread out comfortably.” The company currently flies between New York, LA and London, but is considering expanding, after receiving 15,000 requests for new destinations.

MYTHBUSTERS: SUNSCREEN EDITION…

These statements, contrary to what you have probably been told, are all myths. Each will be followed by the facts…

Dark skin doesn’t need sunscreen/can’t get melanoma: Darker skin tones are less prone to skin cancer, but this can also mean signs of trouble are too often ignored.

A base tan protects you: A base tan is nature’s way of producing sun protection because you’ve been irradiated. But that doesn’t lessen your risk of skin cancer, and constant tanning ages your skin.

You don’t need to use sunscreen inside: All contact with sunlight requires protection, even exposure through an office or car window — and walking from building to building.

The number on sunscreen is proportionate to the number of minutes of sun protection: Nope. Sun Protection Factor (SPF) is a measure of how much solar energy (UV radiation) is required to burn protected skin. SPF 15 allows 1/15 of harmful UVB rays to reach the skin. The remaining 14/15 means you’re protecting against 93% of UVB radiation. So, SPF 30 blocks 97% and SPF 50 prevents 98%.

The SPF in makeup is enough: It’s good enough to cover you when you’re walking from your car to work. But if you’re outside longer than 15 minutes, you need higher SPF and must reapply.

One application of sunscreen in the morning is good for the whole day: Reapplying is just as important as the first coat. Sunscreen gets consumed once the light hits it, which means you have to reapply regularly.

You don’t need sunscreen during off-peak hours: The sun’s rays can cause damage no matter what time it is. If you’re outside for longer than 15 minutes, use protection. You can get burned at 8am, as well as after 4 pm.

Sunscreen on your face, arms, back, and legs is enough: It’s a great start, but you should also apply it to the ears, nose, hands and the tops of your feet. And remember your scalp, especially if you have thinning or sparse hair.

Melanoma is only caused by sun exposure: It can strike without sun exposure, which makes regular skin checks important. Sun exposure does make the risk higher.

This is a “good news” story – especially if you’re a wine drinker. A new survey asked “How much joy do you experience every month?” And the results were surprisingly positive. The poll of 2,000 American wine drinkers found the average person has 10 “extraordinary” days each month. That adds up to 120 every year. And when asked what exactly defines a joyful life, the top answer, agreed upon by 77% of respondents, was ‘feeling happy’. That was followed by ‘being healthy’ (71%), having ‘positive personal and family relationships’ (69%), and ‘feeling comfortable’ (69%). The survey, commissioned…you guessed it…by a wine maker, also asked how often people like to treat themselves. It found people are most likely to treat themselves to something nice on their birthday (66%). Other believe they should treat themselves while on vacation (59%,) or if they’re simply having a good day (48%).

Since the moment it was revealed that ‘Deadpool’ was joining the MCU, there’s been one question fans have had top of mind: Will he still be allowed to be “the merc with a mouth?” Well, as it turns out, even Ryan Reynolds was surprised at how much of a “hard R” rating Disney has allowed “Deadpool & Wolverine” to have. Reynolds told Fandango: “I hope it doesn’t sound condescending, I’m really proud of them for doing this. I think it’s a huge step for them.” While pleasantly surprised at the rating, Reynolds said that for his character, “there’s no other way to do it.” The film, set to be Marvel’s first R-rated movie, hits theaters on July 26.

Hugh Jackman committed to playing ‘Wolverine’ in a third “Deadpool” movie before even letting his agent know. Jackman told Fandango that his decision to play the character again after it was killed off in 2017’s “Logan”, was made while driving when, quote: “literally, just like a bolt of lightning, came this knowing deep in my gut that I wanted to do this film with Ryan (Reynolds)”. Jackman said that ever since he saw the first “Deadpool” film, he knew the 2 characters should be together. So, as soon as he could, he called Reynolds and said “Let’s do it.” Next: “I had to ring my agent and said, ‘Oh, by the way, I have just committed to a movie.’”

A football (soccer) referee has been suspended for life for celebrating with a club that he helped to victory. Dutch football clubs St. George and SV De Valken met in a final match of the country’s 4th division to decide which team would be promoted to the 3rd. During the game, ref Jan Smit showed 3 red cards to SV De Valken players and another to the coach, and let the game go an extra 15 minutes. Then, as soon as St. George scored the equalizer necessary to guarantee the club’s promotion, Smit whistled the end of the game. A clip circulated later of St. George players celebrating alongside Smit, who was seen laughing and singing with the winners — and even lifting the trophy. The Royal Dutch Football Association soon released a statement, indicating he had been banned, and saying “We expect a neutral attitude from a referee and that both teams are treated with respect. His attitude, of course, was not indicative of that.”

EXPERT TIPS TO SAVE MONEY ON GROCERIES:

As the price of your trip to the supermarket continues to rise, here are some ways to make your bill smaller — without cutting out your favorite foods…

Be aware of how much you spend on food: Go over old receipts and credit card info to figure out how much you currently spend on groceries. Then make small, incremental changes to reduce the amount. (Like peeling oranges in-store, so they’ll weigh less?)

Make a meal plan: Have an outline prepared of how you plan to eat everything you buy –especially produce, so it doesn’t go bad.

Check the fridge first: Actually, check the pantry too. This way, you don’t end up with duplicates – and are only buying what you truly need. Bonus: Challenge yourself to use only the groceries you already have at home. You’ll be surprised at what you have on hand – and you’ll save the cost of a trip to the supermarket.

Reduce meat consumption: Some cut back on meat for health reasons, but it can be beneficial for your wallet, too. Try reducing the amount of meat you use in a recipe. For example, use 3/4 of a pound of beef rather than 1 pound in a recipe. No one will notice a difference.

Buy frozen produce: As you know, it can spoil quickly. Instead, buy it frozen. Purchase it in its simplest frozen form, because produce in a microwaveable bag, or covered in sauce or purée will be more expensive.

Buy spices in bulk: Those tiny, costly jars are a waste of money if you cook with spices regularly. You refill an empty spice jar from the bulk bins. Buying in bulk can also apply to dried pasta, rolled oats, rice and other grain products. (And chocolate! Don’t forget chocolate!)

Don’t buy products at eye level: You’ve heard this before. Stores place the more expensive items right in front of your face. Reach up or down for better deals.
