TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

This is a fantastic day to entertain at home. People might help with home repairs. Real-estate deals might be promising. Invite family over because everyone will be up for good times. You’re pumped and enthusiastic. Unexpected gifts might come your way.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

The day is full of surprise opportunities, including new faces, places, ideas and opportunities. New romance is possible. In fact, this evening is one of the best date nights of the year. A platonic relationship could turn romantic.

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

Be open to moneymaking ideas, especially those related to home and family, or real-estate speculation. You’ll definitely impress bosses and authority figures. A surprise suggestion from an unexpected source might catch you off-guard. Stay light on your feet.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

This is an amazing day for you because the sun, the moon, Mercury and Jupiter are all in your sign, and the moon is dancing beautifully with several other planets. The result is you’re empowered. Go after what you want. Demand the advantage. Unexpected help from friends and groups might surprise you.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Stay on your toes because there are lots of opportunities available to you, especially on behind the scenes. They might help you financially in terms of income, earnings, your job or perhaps a major purchase. A parent, boss or someone in power might surprise you as well.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

This is a fantastic day to schmooze with others. Interactions with clubs, groups and friends will be successful and friendly. You’ll enjoy talking to younger people, who in turn, will listen to you because you’re ambitious and charming. Go after what you want. Romance is blessed.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

This is a powerhouse of a day for you because four planets are dazzling at the top of your chart promoting co-operation from work colleagues, financial institutions and behind-the-scenes efforts. People are willing to help you get what you want. Romance is promising.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

Grab every opportunity to travel or explore avenues in publishing, the media, medicine and the law because you will benefit in these areas. Something fantastic might drop into your lap. A romance with someone “different” might begin.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

Financial discussions will go well because doors will open for you. In fact, something might surprise you or catch you off-guard. Be ready for this. Act quickly, because this window of opportunity will be brief. Romance is affectionate and passionate.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

People want to talk to you. Be aware and be prepared to co-operate and go more than halfway. Because you’re willing to work hard, you’ll attract eager, clever people to you. Look for ways to expand your world through travel or insight.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

A number of amazing things might occur related to your job, health or even a pet. Whatever happens will please you — but it might be surprising and catch you off-guard. Among these possibilities includes a work-related romance — perhaps something new and unusual.

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Actress Viola Davis (1965) shares your birthday. You are a truth-seeker. You’re tenacious and bold, and have an academic mind. This is a slower-paced year. Rest and rejuvenate your energy. Focus on business and personal relationships, especially with people who are kind, helpful and have your back. Concentrate on your needs and what brings you happiness.

Gridlock by design: no excuses for bed backlog

Jason M. Sutherland 5 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

Imagine waking up in a hospital bed and being told by a doctor that you are well enough to leave, only to discover you cannot. Not because you want to stay, but because there is nowhere safe for you to go. No home-care support, no rehabilitation space, no long-term care bed.

This is unfortunately the daily reality for thousands of Canadians.

Being stuck in a hospital bed is a crisis from coast to coast. Our acute care hospitals are functioning as wildly expensive beds for vulnerable citizens awaiting a more suitable place to take them in.

A decade ago, policymakers fretted over this exact issue. Today, despite an aging population with increasingly complex needs and higher demand for hospital beds, the crisis has only deepened.

AI bio-weapons loom

Gwynne Dyer 4 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

‘Artificial intelligence’ based on large language models is shaping up to be the most efficient destroyer of value since the South Sea Bubble. After “the Crash”, which is inevitably coming, some specific functions of AI will eventually turn out to be genuinely revenue-generating, and a lot of jobs will duly disappear. But the biggest winner (and potentially biggest loser) is medical science.

Dr. Brian Hie, a chemical engineer at Stanford University in California, has just revealed that his team has made the first viruses designed by artificial intelligence. They are ‘bacteriophages’, viruses that only infect bacteria and are widely used to treat people with infections that resist other treatments.

However, natural bacteriophages sometimes fail, so Dr. Hie used generative AI to design new ones that might do the job. The AI generated thousands of designs for new genomes that more or less fit the bill, and he chose around 300 of them to build in the lab. It’s hard work, not magic, but he ended up with 16 ‘novel’ bacteriophages that might work.

He applied them to petri dishes containing two harmful strains of E. coli, a common bacteria that lives in the human gut, and they killed the bacteria off. It’s still early days, but if it is truly becoming possible to tailor-make bacteriophages that target specific bacteria, then we may be getting a major new weapon in the struggle against antibiotic resistance.

Comfort, creativity battle COVID stress in art class

Maggie Macintosh 4 minute read Monday, Dec. 21, 2020

It was only fitting the panels on which students were tasked with painting comforting messages in Brody McQueen’s Grade 12 art class this term were customized to be six-feet tall.

“Be the reason someone feels heard,” states the board made by McQueen and his project partner, Shakira Rampersad.

Among phrases on the other panels, which will all be hung up in Winnipeg’s Maples Collegiate in the new year, were “Take a break” and “Good things are coming.”

One of visual arts teacher Stacey Abramson’s many therapeutic projects, the 1970s-style panels provided high school seniors an opportunity to brainstorm validating phrases that do not perpetuate toxic positivity — otherwise known as pretending everything is OK when it is not.

Judge rejected bid from Balaquit killer’s lawyer to take case away from jury

Judge rejected bid from Balaquit killer’s lawyer to take case away from jury

Dean Pritchard 5 minute read Thursday, May. 5, 2022

A week before a jury convicted him of manslaughter in the death of Eduardo Balaquit, lawyers for Kyle Pietz were urging a judge to rule there was no evidence to support a finding of guilt and take the case out of the jury’s hands.

Jurors deliberated less than one full day before reaching the guilty verdict early Wednesday evening in a case distinguished by the fact Balaquit’s body hasn’t been found.

In a directed-verdict motion heard in the absence of the jury on April 28, defence lawyer Amanda Sansregret argued “a properly instructed jury” did not have enough evidence before it to reach a guilty verdict in the case.

Balaquit, 59, disappeared on June 4, 2018, after leaving home for Westcon Equipment and Rentals on Keewatin Street, where he had a contract as a cleaner.

WHO team in Wuhan departs quarantine for COVID origins study

Emily Wang Fujiyama, The Associated Press 5 minute read Thursday, Jan. 28, 2021

WUHAN, China - A World Health Organization team emerged from quarantine in the Chinese city of Wuhan on Thursday to start field work in a fact-finding mission on the origins of the virus that caused the COVID-19 pandemic.

The researchers, who were required to isolate for 14 days after arriving in China, left their quarantine hotel with their luggage — including at least four yoga mats — in the midafternoon and headed to another hotel.

The mission has become politically charged, as China seeks to avoid blame for alleged missteps in its early response to the outbreak. A major question is where the Chinese side will allow the researchers to go and whom they will be able to talk to.

Yellow barriers blocked the entrance to the hotel, keeping the media at a distance. Before the researchers boarded their bus, workers wearing protective outfits and face shields could be seen loading their luggage, including two musical instruments and a dumbbell.

Fish ‘punch back’ to crush Canaries

Mike McIntyre 5 minute read Yesterday at 10:31 PM CDT

The number sticks out like a sore thumb: 41.

That’s how many wins the Winnipeg Goldeyes recorded during the 2025 season, tying an all-time low for the storied, 32-year-old franchise.

What a difference a year can make. Let the record show the Fish have already matched that total — with 26 games left to play in the 2026 campaign.

And they are showing no signs of slowing down.
