One of the newest trends on the video-sharing app involved people freezing honey for up to eight hours then chewing on it once it has become a gel. The trend has gained a massive amount of popularity in recent weeks on TikTok, and the hashtag Frozenhoney currently already has a whopping 824 million views. However, while the snack may suit those who have a sweet tooth, many have warned against doing the food hack as it could also not be particularly healthy....

Canada did everything by the book at the Sochi Olympics, winning all six games with a ferocious commitment to defense and discipline. When Canada's captain finally got his first goal of the games Sunday, it had none of the dramatics of Crosby's last Olympic goal four years ago in Vancouver. But it was every bit as golden. Jonathan Toews scored in the first period, Carey Price made 24 saves in his second consecutive shutout, and Canada defended its Olympic men's hockey title with a 3-0 victory over Sweden....

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office announced a $4 billion plan to raise the salaries of essential workers who make less than $2,500 per month. Included in the agreement will be health care workers on the front line, the elderly and food industry employees. Canada’s government is expected to contribute $3 billion to the plan with the remainder covered by Canada’s provincial governments. Trudeau said Thursday that he recognized the need to take care of Canada’s essential workers, “people who are tremendously economically vulnerable, and vulnerable in other ways in our society, who extremely important to the functioning of our society....

The image, which has been shared on social media, shows a naked female from the back being pulled by her braided pigtails with the name “Greta” written across her lower back, an apparent reference to the 17-year-old. Underneath the drawing is the logo of Alberta oilfield company X-Site Energy Services. Michelle Narang of Rocky Mountain House said a friend who works in the oil and gas industry told her that an X-Site employee was seen handing out a sticker featuring the image....

Dee Gallant, 45, and her husky Murphy were out for their usual evening walk just outside of Duncan, BC in the Cowichan Valley. Gallant was only a few miles into the woods when she said she felt “like something was watching” them according to KelownaNow — a local news outlet. They were being stalked by a cougar. At first, she was intrigued because she’d never seen one that close before, according to CNN....

Deciding on a spot was easy. It had to go above my ankle. The aging process has set in everywhere else. But what would it look like? What tattoo could I place on my body that would be with me for the rest of my hopefully long life? I was 44 years old, a wife and mother of two children, and while I was committed to the idea of taking what felt like a bold step, I also wanted to hang on to some shred of dignity....

The move is in response to the company’s opposition to Florida’s new “Don’t Say Gay” law. Supporters of the legislation say it prevents children from learning about topics regarding sexuality, however lawmakers received backlash from many who said the law will prevent any discussion of LGBTQ people in schools. After Disney announced its opposition of the bill, many conservatives began denouncing the company. On Thursday, Owens—whose weekly talk show is hosted on The Daily Wire, which is a conservative news outlet, slammed Disney in a tweet calling for a boycott in response to its statement condemning the law....

On Wednesday, both Owens and Styles contributed to the conversation again—a disagreement on masculinity that was sparked by Styles’s Vogue cover. In it, the alternative pop singer was pictured in a gown, which some found endearing and others slammed as signifying the death of so-called “rugged masculinity.” So when Styles uploaded an Instagram photo Wednesday, himself in a lilac suit and frilly sweater captioned “Bring back manly men,” Owens knew it was about her....

At least eight people died inside the Mayfield Consumer Products factory, and another eight are missing, the company said on Sunday. Initially, the death toll was feared to be as high as 70 after the tornado destroyed the building, leaving nothing but rubble.

Despite being boxing’s biggest star, the 28-year-old has constantly had to fend off naysayers who have attempted to discredit him over the years. From his perceived avoidance of Gennady Golovkin for nearly two years to his in-ring style that some have suggested isn’t “Mexican” enough, Canelo has listened as those criticisms grew from whispers to an inaudible roar. When he attempted to silence his detractors by facing Golovkin last September, those disparagements came to a head....

But now that we truly have an understanding about the bad blood between the two, has it made you change your prediction? Sporting News asked esteemed members of boxing media, some fighters and industry execs who they expect to win Saturday night. Will Canelo clear all doubts and cement his fighting legacy, or will GGG convincingly score that emphatic victory — something he failed to do last year? Here’s what everyone had to say:...

Alex Edler was a part of that team that came painfully close to lifting the Stanley Cup. With the hockey world still shut down because of the coronavirus, the veteran defenseman has been reliving some of the happier moments from the team’s 2011 postseason — including the Canucks’ first-round series against the Blackhawks. “Actually, this was a couple of weeks ago, I watched Game 7 of that series,” he told reporters in a video call Wednesday....

The star wide receiver’s summer was filled with drama after he inked a three-year, $50 million deal with the Raiders earlier in the offseason. First, he held out after not being allowed to wear his preferred helmet.

Ronaldo haircut fulfils CL promise Out of work since leaving the Russia job in 2015, the Italian has had a storied coaching career, which started at AC Milan and saw him lead clubs of the stature of Real Madrid, Roma and Juventus, as well as England. It was at the Bernabeu, however, where he faced his greatest challenge in the form of Ronaldo. “The most difficult to handle was the best I Coached: Ronaldo, ‘il Fenomeno’,” he told the Football Leader conference, distinguishing him from Cristiano Ronaldo....

Chichvarkin belongs to a select but growing club of mega-moguls from emerging-market economies whose capitalist triumphs are winning them celebrity status. Unlike their predecessors who often kept a low profile for safety or to avoid suspicion their gains may have been ill-gotten, the new CEOs aren’t afraid to flaunt what they’ve got, or leverage their own PR for further gain in the manner of Donald Trump or Richard Branson. Consider Indian liquor titan Vijay Mallya, a billionaire who isn’t bashful about his 25 houses, three private jets and two helicopters, or the gold chains he displays by wearing his sports shirts unbuttoned to the middle of his 51-year-old chest....

Yet the issue that has gotten NOW more publicity than it’s had in some time-the case of Andrea Yates, the Houston woman who murdered her five children-makes Gandy and others nervous. Is she a sympathetic figure or not? Should opponents of the death penalty adopt her case and make her a cause celebre? The NOW chapter in Houston forced the issue when it spoke out in defense of Yates, blaming postpartum depression for her heinous act and urging donations to her defense fund....
