Those 18-34 losing jobs at a greater rate than boomers Kevin Maimann
Metro | Edmonton Boomers aren’t feeling the bust in Alberta the way younger generations are. The Alberta Treasury Branch Investor Beat Survey found that, in the last quarter, of those who said the economic downturn had an impact on them, 39 per cent of millennials (age 18-34) and 30 per cent of Gen Xers (35-54) lost their jobs — compared to 19 per cent of boomers (age 54 and up) — in the last quarter.
“From a job-loss standpoint, millennials have been more impacted by the decline in the price of oil than boomers,” said ATB Investor Services president Chris Turchansky. Overall, job losses rose one per cent over the last survey. Turchansky expects the losses to keep rising for another quarter before they level off. He said while boomers have not been hit as hard by layoffs, they have been feeling salary freezes and the decreasing value of real-estate investments. “They’re definitely feeling it; they’re just feeling it in a different way,” Turchansky said. Many Albertans are abandoning long-term savings strategies, and an increasing number of people appear to be cutting back on personal spending. The survey polled 1,007 Albertans from April 11-18.

Judge to apologize for remarks A Federal Court judge who asked a sexual assault complainant why she couldn’t keep her knees together plans to apologize for his remarks at a public hearing. A Canadian Judicial Council inquiry scheduled for September is to determine whether Justice Robin Camp, who made the comments in 2014 as a provincial court judge in Calgary, should be removed from his job. A notice of response outlines Camp’s position: “Justice Camp wants to continue serving as a judge,” it says. THE CANADIAN PRESS investigation
Woman charged with manslaughter Edmonton police have charged a woman with manslaughter in relation to a March 18, 2015 assault. That day, officers found 47-year-old Warren Todd McLeod unconscious in an apartment near 100 Avenue and 114 Street. Police say Joelle Marie Reich, 47, assaulted him two days before they were called. He was taken to hospital and succumbed to his injuries almost a year later. The medical examiner determined he died from complications of blunt force head injuries. On Wednesday, Reich was charged with manslaughter, causing death by criminal negligence, and failing to provide necessaries of life. THE CANADIAN PRESS

Ratzlaff largely relies on weather-tracking apps and information made available through Environment Canada.
He operates in connection with Prairie Storm Chasers, founded by Braydon Morrisseau and Nevin Demilliano. The team members post their photos to Twitter. The team also works to educate and caution people on storm chasing. They try to ensure recklessness is not a stereotype lived out in the storm-chasing community here in Alberta. “We promote chasing in a way that is reasonable without being reckless,” says Ratzlaff.

Cats at Humane Society part of pilot program Alex Boyd
Metro | Edmonton The Edmonton Humane Society is rolling out some big changes to the way they house and adopt out their feline charges. “It’s a fundamental shift in how shelter medicine and operations are performed and it’ll save cat lives, we’ve seen the data,” said shelter CEO Miranda Jordan-Smith. Both Edmonton and Calgary have been chosen as the first pilot projects in western Canada for Capacity for Care, a new program gaining steam out east that rethinks how to house cats in shelters. A big part of it is giving them each a bigger space, and separating their eating and litter spaces. The program also recommends switching to scheduled intake hours, fast-tracking the adoption process, and creat-

ing special feral cat procedures. The central theme, JordanSmith said, is cutting down on cat overpopulation. “I think historically in shelters, cats were afforded a certain amount of space, but we still have this perpetual issue where from May to October we’re inundated with cats.” According to numbers from the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies, the handful of shelters in eastern Canada that have implemented the proto-
col have had success, seeing between a 40 and 87 per cent decrease in sickness. The length of stay went down 29 per cent in PEI and 51 per cent Kitchener-Waterloo, and euthanasia also dropped in a couple of shelters. “It has to be a multi-pronged approach, we have to educate the public on spay and neutering, it does require a cultural shift, but it also requires a change in the way we do things,” Jordan-Smith said.

For Metro | Edmonton Marshall McLuhan preached that the “medium was the message” and for the next week anyone will be able to take their own impressions from his historic family home.

Police floats ban ‘stupid’: Union demands
Black Lives Matter held a sit-in during Pride Parade

Members of the Toronto police force say they’re offended that Pride organizers agreed to a list of demands set out by Black Lives Matter during Sunday’s parade. The list includes nine demands that range from banning police floats in future parades to increasing funding for spaces for racialized communities. Janaya Khan, co-founder of Black Lives Matter Toronto, said the group took the position they were given in the parade as an opportunity to open up a conversation about how to make Pride more inclusive for marginalized groups. Members of the group held a sit-in part way through the city’s 36th annual Pride Parade, stopping it from moving forward for about a half hour. It resumed when Pride’s executive director, Mathieu Chantelois, signed the list of demands. The president for the union
representing the city’s police officers said he’s outraged that Pride would accept the demands. Mike McCormack said that police officers have been supporters of Pride for years, and that it’s “stupid” to try and exclude them. “This is about the Pride parade, this is not about Black Lives Matter,” he said in an interview Monday. “We have been supporting this parade for years, long before politicians and other people. To suggest that police should be removed and not have a float or booths or be allowed in
Pride to begin with.” And Khan noted that this sort of political action isn’t unprecedented at Pride parades. “Change is uncomfortable. Twenty years ago, you had the first Dyke March. There was a lot of negative publicity, there was a lot of pushback.” But while Pride Toronto’s executive director signed the document during Sunday’s parade, organizers are now saying that they were really just committing to “having a conversation” about the list. “There’s a number of (the requests) that are quite reason-
We have been supporting this parade for years, long before politicians and other people. Mike McCormack the community space, that’s complete and utter nonsense.” He suggested that Black Lives Matter shouldn’t be allowed to co-opt another group’s event. Khan took issue with that stance. “I can’t co-opt what is mine,” said Khan, who is part of the LGBTQ community, adding: “It was never community consensus that police floats should be a part of
able, in terms of how we engage with the black, queer community,” said Alicia Hall, a co-chair of Pride’s board of directors. And the rest of them, she said, will be discussed — including the role of police. But Khan said that while some of the items on the list are negotiable, the ban on police floats is not.

Federal agency sorry for nixing kids’ lemonade stand Haley Ritchie
Metro | Ottawa After a sour online response, the National Capital Commission has apologized for shutting down a children’s lemonade stand over the weekend. Seven-year-old Eliza Andrews and her five-year-old sister Adela had a morning of sweet sales when they set up near their house along Colonel By Drive Sunday morning. The stretch of road is closed to motorists on Sundays and opened to pedestrians and cyclists. After about two hours of sales they were promptly shut down by an NCC officer because they

didn’t have a permit. “We understood that it was NCC property,” said father Kurtis Andrews, who built the lemon-
ade stand to teach his daughters some real world business skills. “But we figured a kids’ lemonade stand wouldn’t raise a bunch of fuss, and no one would probably make a big deal about it.” On Monday morning the girls and their dad were invited to NCC headquarters to talk about bringing the lemonade stand back – with the proper documentation. “They gave us the royal treatment,” said Andrews. “We put in an application for a permit, and it sounds like they’ll be expediting whatever process is required so we can set up next Sunday.” The NCC released a statement Monday morning, apologizing to the family and saying that it reviewed the situation with the conservation officer on duty.

Child exploitation an ‘epidemic’
Canadian police lack the resources to keep pace with the burgeoning threat to children from online sexual predators, federal officials have warned the public safety minister. An internal briefing note to Ralph Goodale says digital child pornography poses increasing
challenges for criminal justice agencies. The problem is fuelled by the growth of technology allowing online anonymity, new legal hurdles for police and easier travel to places where children can be abused and photographed, the note says.
The Canadian Press obtained a copy of the February memo under the Access to Information Act. It said although data is limited, some believe online child sexual exploitation has reached “a level of epidemic proportions.” THE CANADIAN PRESS

Bangladesh
Officials question hostages Some of the hostages rescued from the weekend attack on an upscale restaurant in Bangladesh’s capital were questioned Monday by investigators searching for clues about the possible masterminds behind the gruesome attack that left 28 dead, including many foreigners. Authorities were still holding five of the 13 hostages rescued when commandos stormed the restaurant in Dhaka’s diplomatic zone Saturday morning, killing six of the attackers and capturing one, according to officials. Bangladesh police chief A.K.M. Shahidul Haque said authorities would be interrogating two men, including a suspected militant, who were detained during Saturday’s operation. He would not say whether either had been among those counted as hostages, only that they were being treated in a hospital for unspecified injuries. A second official said the five former hostages still being held included a Canadian citizen of Bangladeshi origin and a Bangladesh-born British citizen. Global Affairs Canada, the government department which manages Canada’s diplomatic and consular relations, and consular officials at the High Commission of Canada in Dhaka said they had not received any reports of a Canadian citizen being detained. The brutality of the attack has stunned the traditionally moderate Muslim nation and raised global concerns about whether it can cope with increasingly strident Islamist militants.

Death toll climbs in Iraq
Terrorism
Officials aim to tighten security measures As the death toll from the weekend truck bombing in Baghdad climbed to 157, Iraq’s embattled prime minister ordered new security measures, including abandoning the use of bombdetection wands that U.S. experts pronounced worthless years ago. But security forces were
still using the devices Monday evening, as a string of smaller bombings in the capital killed 16 people and wounded dozens more. Sunday’s suicide attack by Daesh was the single deadliest bombing to hit Baghdad in more than a decade of war and insurgency. Also Monday, five convicted terrorists were executed in Baghdad, the Ministry of Justice said in an announcement that appeared aimed at restoring faith in Iraq’s security forces in the wake of the devastating attack. Firefighters and medical teams were still uncovering bodies from the city’s Karada neighbourhood Monday morning. Officials said a dozen people were missing and at least 60
of the dead were women and children. At least 190 people were wounded. The blast struck after midnight when the neighbourhood was bustling with people breaking their daylight fast during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The attack demonstrated Daesh’s ability to strike the capital despite a string of defeats on the battlefield, including the loss of Fallujah just over a week ago. With public anger mounting, Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi ordered new security measures Sunday evening, including increased aerial scanning and intelligence-gathering in the capital and the installation of X-ray systems at the entrances of provinces. He also ordered security
forces to stop using a handheld electronic device that was widely sold as a bomb detector but has been repeatedly branded bogus by technical experts. And he ordered the reopening of an investigation into the purchase of the ADE 651s, which cost the Iraqi government tens of thousands of dollars each. In 2010, British authorities arrested the director of the British manufacturer, ATSC Ltd., on fraud charges, prompting Iraqis to open their own investigation. Iraqi authorities made some arrests, but the device remained in use. On Monday evening, Associated Press reporters saw a number of the devices still being used at checkpoints around the capital as another round of blasts erupted. THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
More attacks Small-scale bombings occur on a near-daily basis in Baghdad. in May a string of largescale bombings, many of them claimed by Daesh, killed more than 200 people in a single week. In February, Amnesty International reported that the number of Iraqis sentenced to death in 2016 was close to 100. Later Monday, about 10 rockets struck a refugee camp for Iranian exiles next to Baghdad’s international airport, according to a Baghdad police official.

Swap app shakes up transfers Foreign exchange
TransferWise allows users to send money to 60 countries Kristo Käärman and Taavet Hinrikus built a billion-dollar business out of their common spendthrift’s conundrum. Käärman was paid in pounds at his job in London, but needed euros to pay off his student loans in Estonia. Countrymate Hinrikus was getting paid in euros through a bank account back home, but living in London and spending pounds. Both were frustrated with how much money they were losing to their banks when transferring money to and from their own accounts. So they decided to invent a new system.

Canada Post says talks with the union representing postal workers continue and it still hopes to negotiate a deal. Spokesman Jon Hamilton says the company has not given the required 72 hours notice of a lockout, nor has the union given notice of any job action. Both sides remain at the negotiating table and Hamilton says he hopes they can reach an agreement that is “affordable and reasonable.” Changes to employee pension plans have been a key
sticking point in negotiations. Canada Post made new contract proposals about a week ago, and the union presented a counter-offer on Friday. That offer includes wage hikes and rejects Canada Post’s plan that would have new employees get a pension plan that operates like an RRSP, called defined contribution, instead of the defined benefit plan for current employees that guarantees a set level of retirement benefits.

Edmonton craft culture is becoming self-made urban paradis
Danielle Paradis
Edmonton loves to DIY. We’re a city that boasts DIY food crawls, a re-use centre, bike shops, local theatres and art collectives. And let’s not forget The Royal Bison, a craft show at the Butterdome that many crafters organize their year around. Increasingly, Alberta women who are artists, crafters and entrepreneurs are starting up their own organizations to do what they love, and to make Edmonton an even craftier place. This weekend the Made Local Society opened its doors to Edmonton in the Oliver neighbourhood. The society was initiated by the Alberta Yarn Project, a
little organization that promotes locally grown and spun yarn, and On the Spot Pop-ups. And — maybe it’s because it’s summer — I think I am coming down with this DIY fever. I’m a longtime barely adequate knitter, and walking into clothing shops like Workhall that boast big loft spaces filled with raw fabric and machines has made me want to up my craft game. When I mused on Twitter about Edmonton’s strong DIY ethos, Edmonton writer Todd Babiuk chimed in to say, “For a long time, I think Edmontonians felt isolated. They had to make their own fun and solve their own problems.” Anna Davidson is on the (all female) board of directors for the Made Local Society. She thinks that
this DIY culture is new to the city. “I don’t know that I would have characterized Edmonton as a DIY place as a kid when I was growing up,” she says, “but definitely in the last five years I’ve noticed an upswing in people being like, ‘I’m going to do this thing’ and then they do it.” The Made Local Society came into existence very quickly after an announcement that the organization that previously held court at 10149-122 Street, the Creative Practices Institute, would be dissolving. Fabric arts may be typically female, but it’s no small business. While crafting springs from the cottage industry, entrepreneurs can earn big. Alicia Shaffer in the U.S. pulls in $80,000 a month on Etsy. With the rise of sites like Pintrest, women craft-
ers seem to have found the perfect space to mix passion with craft. Knitting and crocheting are wonderfully social hobbies. They have a connection to community built into the craft, so it’s not surprising to see places like the Made Local Society popping up with an almost ready-made client base. And it seems like a natural extension to offer artists spaces where people can come and go. Davidson says that the society wants to be a community to people. “We really want to be collaborative, not competitive. The more we work together the more we’re going to be building up together.”
EU is both symptom and potential cure Joel Blit
For Metro In the aftermath of the Brexit, it is tempting to paint the leavers as xenophobes or racists. And while there are some unsavoury elements within the Brexit movement, it would be simplistic to ascribe the movement’s success to widespread bigotry. Moreover, doing so would preclude us from understanding the discontent. The leavers are right to feel aggrieved. Economic integration has been sold as a rising tide that lifts all boats. In my undergraduate international trade course, one of the first lessons is that there are gains from trade for all countries. But what often gets overlooked is that within each country there are winners and losers. The reality is that while trade has brought many of the anticipated rewards, these have not been shared. The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development reports that between 1975 and 2012 much of the income growth generated has gone to the one per cent of earners. In the U.S., 47 per cent of the entire pre-tax income growth was captured by the one per cent. For Canada, this fraction was also large, at 37 per cent. The major cause that most economists would point to is technological change. Software and robots are taking over routine jobs. And as the $19-billion US acquisition of 55-employee WhatsApp showed us, technology has also allowed the creation of firms that generate massive value for the investors and entrepreneurs while creating precious few
jobs. What is certain is that immigration has played at most a minor role in increasing inequality. Blaming immigrants for the low wages and lack of jobs is misguided. Unless we are willing to halt technological progress, increasing income inequality may be a reality that we will have to cope with. This does not mean we have to accept that the rich will get richer while the poor will get poorer. The implicit bargain is that for us to collectively agree to trade liberalization, those who benefit must share some of their gains with those who get hurt. Governments can ensure a good quality of life for all by implementing redistributive policies and offering quality public services, such as education and health care. Doing so will require that governments tax corporations and the very rich. But this is difficult for any one country because these groups are the most internationally mobile. As the Panama papers showed us, it is all too easy for the rich to set up offshore investments and avoid paying taxes. Tackling inequality will require international co-operation and governance — just the sort of political integration that is best modelled by the EU, the very thing that the disenchanted voted to leave. The leavers are right to feel aggrieved. But their anger at the EU is misplaced. Exiting will only weaken the one institution that offers a model for fighting inequality.

Check out your partner’s moles RESEARCH
ABC’S OF SCREENING
Screening strategy helps identify new melanomas
Patients were given a simple A-B-C-D-E scorecard to help them remember how to screen their loved one’s skin. Assess moles and be aware of any that fall under the 3) description in each of the following categories:

Metro Canada Kathy Barnard’s husband gives her an unusual, but sexy, gift each Valentine’s Day. He checks all her skin, from head to toe — for abnormal moles, that is. As a survivor of melanoma, the most dangerous kind of skin cancer, Barnard is at high risk of a recurrence. And research shows her screening strategy works. In a new study, published last week in the Journal of the American Medical Association (Dermatology), high-risk patients who had melanoma before and their partners were assigned either no special treatment or, instead, training on how to identify new cancers. They were followed up for two years, with dermatologist visits every four months. The results were impressive. Patients and their partners who got the training correctly identified more than 60 per cent of new melanomas (the remainder were diagnosed by doctors). On the flip side, participants in the group who got no training were not able to spot new melanomas on

anoma are above 90 per cent. Most patients diagnosed with advanced melanoma, on the other hand, die of their disease within five years. The extra education didn’t seem to increase anxiety or encourage extra doctor visits, pointing to how programs like this, though the initial research is expensive, could save money in the long term. Barnard, who is president
of the Save Your Skin Foundation in Vancouver, which does public education and support, estimates about half the melanoma patients she works with had their cancer discovered by a loved one. “It’s not just your spouse, but everyone connected to you,” she said. “My niece found my (cancerous) mole on my back when I was in a bathing suit.”
The new research aimed to build on informal screenings people do at home, explained Dr. Jane Robinson, the lead author of the study. She got the idea years ago when she was getting ready to discharge a melanoma patient after he had surgery to remove a cancerous mole on his back. “I was explaining to this about-50-year-old man that he could develop another cancer, and telling him he had to check,” Robinson said. “I’ll never forget it. He looked at me and said, ‘Doc, my wife takes care of all that stuff !’ “I said ‘Where’s your wife? Go get her! So he runs out the door with his shirt hanging out and brings in his wife from the waiting room.” Robinson taught the man’s wife the warning signs to look for, especially in hard-to-see areas like his ears, back and the top of his head. “She is all over it. Poking him, and questioning me so she could get it right,” Robinson said. “It was out of love, to make sure he lived a long time.” In fact, Robinson added, partners who say they aren’t particularly well bonded and don’t spend much time together still succeed at identifying each other’s cancers. Some even told her the screening ritual brought them closer together. “People had a job to do,” Robinson said. “They knew it was, ‘Do this or the person could die.’”

Actresses say size shouldn’t matter red carpet
Some stars find it hard to get designer duds for events

Ghostbusters star Leslie Jones’ recent online lament about having trouble finding a designer to dress her for the film’s premiere points to the challenges actresses face when it comes to walking red carpets in style. While one nice tux might carry a male actor through many a premiere, it’s customary for female stars to show up in new attire for every photo opportunity, which makes finding fresh, fashion-forward outfits for such occasions a time-consuming task, especially for women larger than a size 2. “It’s so funny how there are no designers wanting to help me with a premiere dress for (a) movie,” wrote Jones, who is six feet tall. “Hmmm that will change and I remember everything.”

But for designers, it’s not just about their star clients fitting into smaller sizes, said celebrity stylist Nina Hallworth. It also has to do with creating a mutually beneficial partnership between the clothier and the star. “It is about how a designer wants to be represented as an artist,” Hallworth said in an interview. “We have worked with women who are sample sizes and incredibly well known and a designer will say no to that collaboration as creatively it is not a fit — even if we think it is.” As it turned out, designer Christian Siriano responded to Jones’ call on Twitter last week and agreed to make her gown. “I can’t wait to create something special for her to wear,” the statement said. “I support all women no matter age or size!” “It shouldn’t be exceptional to work with brilliant people just because they’re not sample size,” Siriano wrote on Twitter. “Congrats aren’t in order, a change is.” He followed up later in the week with photos of Jones vis-
iting his studio, where she said they are “making magic.” It’s not clear how long Jones had been seeking a dress for the premiere, but she hasn’t been alone. Other actresses outside the size-2 landscape have said it can be hard to find designers to work with, even for high-profile events. Melissa McCarthy said that when she was invited to the Oscars after the success of Bridesmaids, she couldn’t find anyone to make her a dress. “I asked five or six designers — very high-level ones who make lots of dresses for people — and they all said no,” she told Redbook magazine in 2014. “Collaboration between designers and actors is symbiotic,” Hallworth said. “A great image can last a lifetime; a bad one longer.”

The term softboy was coined by Alan Hanson in a Medium article last August. It’s a man who portrays himself as a complicated being with feelings but who is ultimately selfish. “He discusses his ex-girlfriend within the first 30 minutes of the date. He talks about her in a sad, wistful way rather than a snarky, resentful way ... He is artistic. He is aware. He is still a d---,” writes Hanson.

Benching, as described by Jason Chen in New York Magazine, is when the person you’re seeing continues to text you, Snapchat with you and send you memes on Instagram, but no longer commits to seeing you in person. Haunting is when someone

“David Eugene Chappelle... Start planning the next Player Haters Ball”: Andre Iguodala’s tweet after Kevin Durant’s free agency decision
If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em: Durant picks Dubs NBA
Ex-MVP makes Golden State’s star-studded cast brighter Kevin Durant decided his best chance for “growth” means leaving his beloved Oklahoma City behind for a big move out West to join the star-studded, record-setting Golden State Warriors and play alongside Splash Brothers Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. In the most anticipated move of the NBA off-season, Durant announced his decision Monday on The Players’ Tribune. His contract is for $54 million over two years and includes a player option, a person with knowledge of the deal said Monday, speaking on condition of anonymity because details weren’t made public. Durant’s move will become official as soon as Thursday, when free agents can sign their new contracts. Independence Day, indeed. “The primary mandate I had for myself in making this deci-
sion was to have it based on the potential for my growth as a player — as that has always steered me in the right direction,” Durant said in the article. “But I am also at a point in my life where it is of equal importance to find an opportunity that encourages my evolution as a man: moving out of my comfort zone to a new city and community which offers the greatest potential for my contribution and personal growth. With this in mind, I have decided that I am going to join the Golden State Warriors.” And the 2015 champion Warriors, who squandered a 3-1 NBA Finals lead to lose to LeBron James and the Cavaliers last month, know how tough Durant is in any lineup: they rallied from down 3-1 to beat Durant and the Thunder in a sevengame Western Conference final. Golden State applied a fullcourt press to land Durant. On Friday in the Hamptons, the Warriors sent owner Joe Lacob, general manager Bob Myers, coach of the year Steve Kerr, Curry and Thompson to meet with the six-foot-nine superstar.

Carter banned for bumping Campbell The CFL has suspended Montreal Alouettes receiver Duron Carter one game for his part in a wild melee in a game on Friday against the Ottawa Redblacks. Carter was hammered as he made a spectacular catch in the end zone in the third quarter. As he walked by the Ottawa bench, he bumped into head coach Rick Campbell, knocking him over. The Redblacks rushed to Campbell’s defence, throwing slaps and shots at Carter, who continued his celebration straight through the Ottawa bench area to his own bench.
Carter and Ottawa defensive back Jerrell Gavins were ejected from the game. The Alouettes fined Carter for the incident on Friday. “To tell the truth, I don’t even know what happened,” Carter said after the game. “I ran into the coach, apparently. “I didn’t even know I knocked him over. It’s an emotional game. I’m excited. I got hit. I got a cut on my face from that hit. You tell me.” The Redblacks won 28-13 to improve to 2-0 this season.

Stage 3 heats up with photo finish Wearing the yellow jersey, Peter Sagan considered stopping at a cafe. Hardly pedaling, the overall leaders in the Tour de France spent most of Monday’s third stage chatting to one another and riding at such a leisurely pace that they could have fit right in on a town bike path. “It was a very relaxed day for us. We went slow. It was nice,” said Sagan, who playfully bumped shoulders with some of the other riders just to keep things interesting. “I was thinking one moment we were going to take the coffee like old time.” The morning caffeine didn’t kick in until the very end of the lengthy and mostly flat 223.5-kilometre leg from Gran-

Scorpio Oct. 24 - Nov. 22 Mystical and spiritual subjects fascinate you today. This is a good day to explore religion, poetry, music and occult subjects, because your mind is open to the unusual. Sagittarius Nov. 23 - Dec. 21 If you divide or share something today, make sure you are fair to yourself as well as to others. You have an impulse today to be generous to those who are less fortunate.
