I’ve been to 17 countries and swear by checking a bag when I travel. It’s a little luxury that’s worth the price every single time.

I consider myself fairly frugal when it comes to travel. I've booked the 6 a.m. flight to save $50 and have flown basic economy more times than I'd care to admit.But after visiting 17 countries, there's one little luxury I can't go without when flying: checking a bag.

Women are less interested in AI than men, but using it would help them advance at work

Women are less interested in AI than men, but using it would help them advance at work

Women use generative artificial intelligence tools less than men do. The World Economic Forum recently published an article on the subject. It reported that 59 per cent of male workers aged between 18 and 65 use generative artificial intelligence at least once a week, compared with 51 per cent of women. Among young people aged 18 to 25, the percentage of men using AI is 71 per cent, compared with 59 per cent of women. It’s a difference of 12 percentage points, which is considerable.

When my son died from an overdose, my husband and I grieved differently. But we were determined to keep our marriage intact.

Our son, Alex, was born in 1989, and he quickly captivated us.We were a typical suburban family, but we were not immune to the hurricane forces of misery that addiction brings.The cracks formed early. The troubles slipped in quietly during the summer of 2002. When he was 12, Alex developed anorexia. I look at photos and see his smile fading with the pounds he lost.
