ARIES (March 21-April 19)

Travel if possible or make plans to do so. (Admittedly, travel plans might also be interrupted.) This is also an excellent day to study, learn and make proposals related to higher education, the law or medicine. You have ideas.

Mad Men star Christina Hendricks turns 51 on Sunday.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

You are the financial wizard of the zodiac and this is an excellent day to make long-term, practical plans related to taxes, debt and shared property. It’s also an excellent time to fine-tune issues related to wills and inheritances. Check details because something might interrupt your work.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

Listen to the advice of someone older because it might be helpful to you. A discussion with someone “different” might be profound and may even change your views about something related to politics, religion or racial issues. Someone might surprise you.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Your work routine will be interrupted. Give yourself extra time so you have wiggle room to deal with the unexpected. Discussions about your property and inheritances might be intense. Fortunately, someone in authority will support your views.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

In some ways, this is a playful day; however, important issues might come up for discussion. A friend or a member of a group might surprise you. Controversial matters might come to a head. Fortunately, you make a great impression on everyone, which means people will listen to you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Your home routine might be interrupted. Small appliances might break down or a minor outage could occur. Someone unexpected might appear at your door. Issues are intense, especially financial discussions related to shared property and inheritances. Tread carefully.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

Pay attention to everything you say and do because this is a mildly accident-prone day for you. Discussions with others might be serious. You might have to explain yourself or demand an explanation from someone else. Keep things light.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

Keep an eye on your money and possessions because something unexpected could result in loss, theft or damage. On the upside, you might find money. This is a good day for financial planning. You might see new ways of earning. You might also see ways to introduce improvements either to your job or your health.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

The moon is in your sign dancing with many planets. It’s an electrifying day with a lot happening. Very likely, someone will surprise you by saying or doing something you least expect. Whatever happens, you will express yourself with purpose. (A mystery might be solved.)

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Hidden situations will intrigue you. In fact, something going on behind the scenes might yield some surprises. Nevertheless, this is a playful, social day. Look for ways to enjoy the company of others. Pet owners should be extra vigilant to avoid mishaps.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

A discussion with a friend or member of a group will be intense. Someone might pull a fast one or surprise you with a curveball. You’re in a sociable mood; however, your primary focus is on home and family right now, including residential repairs. Keep your eyes open.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

Tread carefully because parents, bosses and authority figures might do or say something that catches you off-guard. Furthermore, be aware you are high-viz. People notice you. (Some people even know personal details about your private life.) Respect your moneymaking ideas, because they might be worthwhile.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actress Christina Hendricks (1975) shares your birthday. You’re perceptive, intuitive and an astute judge of character. You’re also optimistic and sociable. This is the final year of a nine-year cycle for you which means it’s time to let go of the people, places and things that have held you back. Do some internal and external housecleaning.

The man who ran for president from his cell

Allan Levine 5 minute read Friday, Apr. 26, 2024

Should Donald Trump be found guilty of all 34 felony charges he is currently on trial for in a New York City courtroom, he could be sentenced to 20 years in prison, the maximum sentence the state allows for the type of offences he has allegedly committed.

The odds are that his prison term would be much less, if he is incarcerated at all.

Even if he is locked up, and assuming that he becomes the Republican party presidential nominee, a conviction would not disqualify him. True, millions of voters might (finally) turn against him, yet there is no U.S. constitutional law that individuals with a criminal record cannot run for a federal office.

Moreover, it has happened before. More than a century ago, Eugene Debs, the head of the Socialist Party of America (SPA), ran as a third-party candidate in the 1920 presidential election from his cell in the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary. In September 1918, he had been convicted on charges for violating the Espionage and Sedition Acts and was given a 10-year prison sentence.

Philippines reports world's 1st virus death outside China

The Associated Press 7 minute read Sunday, Feb. 2, 2020

BEIJING - The first death outside China from the new coronavirus was recorded Sunday in the Philippines, as countries around the world evacuated hundreds of their citizens from the infection zone and Chinese authorities completed a new, rapidly constructed 1,000-bed hospital for victims of the outbreak.

Chinese authorities also delayed the reopening of schools in the hardest-hit province and tightened the quarantine in one city by allowing only one family member to venture out to buy supplies.

The Philippine Health Department said a 44-year-old Chinese man from Wuhan, the city at the centre of the crisis, was hospitalized Jan. 25 with a fever, cough and sore throat and died after developing severe pneumonia. The man's 38-year-old female companion, also from Wuhan, tested positive for the virus as well and remained hospitalized in isolation in Manila.

Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte approved a ban on the entry of all non-citizens from China. The U.S., Japan, Singapore and Australia have imposed similar restrictions despite criticism from China and an assessment from the World Health Organization that such measures were unnecessarily hurting trade and travel.

Climate: what must be done now

Gwynne Dyer 5 minute read Yesterday at 2:01 AM CDT

I WAS reading an article about the current wildfires written in a reputable paper by a recognized ‘environmental journalist’, but I stumbled to a halt when I read the following sentence: “While the skies over North America and Europe will eventually clear, this climate change-driven era of wildfire will exact a lengthy toll.”

What? Does he expect the skies to “eventually clear” of their own accord? We already know with high confidence (85 to 92 per cent) that next year will be even hotter than this year. What natural event or human action is going to return us to the old ‘normal’? Here’s a market tip: invest in companies making water-bombers.

Some people seek solace in the belief that this is just another El Niño event, a nine-to-12-month weather phenomenon that starts in the tropical eastern Pacific but affects the entire global system. It repeats every two to seven years. This time it is coming back in three years so, technically, it could be just another El Niño — but there are strong reasons to doubt that.

A normal El Niño temporarily adds only about 0.2 C to average global temperature, whereas the 2023-24 El Niño added more than 0.3 C. Much more importantly, that extra heat never went away again. It acted like a ratchet, taking us up past some invisible of no return, and we seem to be stuck there.

By Zoe Pierce 3 minute read Yesterday at 4:10 PM CDT

Pimicikamak Cree First Nation, also known as Cross Lake, remains under lockdown as RCMP Major Crime Services investigate a shooting that left a 42-year-old man dead.

RCMP said officers were notified by local First Nation Safety Officers at about 9:30 p.m. Friday about a seriously injured person on Main Road in the community. Officers found two males at the scene, including one with a gunshot wound.

The 42-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene by EMS. The second male was not injured and did not require medical attention, police said.

Manitoba RCMP Major Crime Services, along with Cross Lake RCMP and Forensic Identification Services, are investigating. Police said the suspect is believed to be known to the person shot and may still be in the community.

Tory government betting on wrong numbers

Tory government betting on wrong numbers

Dan Lett 5 minute read Friday, Jul. 15, 2022

It is often said, in the heat of political battle, combatants have the right to their own opinions but they do not have the right to their own version of the facts.

When it comes to the debate over the future of Manitoba Hydro, that essential principal seems to have eluded the Progressive Conservative government.

For several years, the Tories have attempted to severely limit Public Utilities Board authority over Hydro rate applications. Former premier Brian Pallister and current Premier Heather Stefanson both introduced legislation that would essentially gut any hope of an independent review and give cabinet new authority to control rates.

When asked why, both Pallister and Stefanson and their ministers have repeatedly claimed the cost to Hydro for a PUB rate application hearing is $10 million annually, an expense that was, in and of itself, driving up electricity rates.
