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.

Grim outlook for airport authority

Grim outlook for airport authority

Temur Durrani 5 minute read Thursday, Apr. 29, 2021

The Winnipeg Airports Authority revealed a particularly grim outlook of their consolidated financial statements at their annual public meeting Thursday morning.

A year marred by COVID-19, executive members from the airports authority said urgent support is needed from the federal government to save them from their dire future beyond the pandemic, outlining the many ways in which Ottawa has failed regional airports like Winnipeg's so far.

Nicole Stefaniuk, vice-president of finance and administration, said 2020 was the worst year in the airport's history — mostly because passengers typically make up about 90 per cent of airport revenue and because almost 80 per cent of costs are fixed items the authority has to continue paying (such as utilities, personnel employment and taxes).

Passenger traffic fell from an average of 12,300 travellers per day to less than 250 people on a good day for Winnipeg's airport — a symptom of mandated lockdowns, border closures and travel restrictions across Canada.

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.

Gas, travel limits in parts of B.C. after storm

Camille Bains, The Canadian Press 5 minute read Friday, Nov. 19, 2021

VANCOUVER - The British Columbia government is rationing gasoline and restricting travel in southern parts of the province after an unprecedented storm severed highways and cut supply lines.

Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth said Friday a limit of 30 litres of fuel per visit to a gas station is an important step to maintaining the supply as the province works to bring in more gas by truck and barge from Alberta, Washington state, Oregon and California.

He said the order would apply for 10 to 11 days, and he trusts that people won't be greedy and will keep critical services in mind as they focus on residents whose communities have been devastated by flooding.

The orders apply to residents of Vancouver Island, the Gulf Islands, southwestern parts of the province and the Sunshine Coast.

Tabulating long-term impact of long COVID

Tabulating long-term impact of long COVID

Dan Lett 6 minute read Monday, Feb. 7, 2022

Throughout a career dedicated to health research, Dr. Alan Katz had never seen anything like it.

In fall 2021, it was announced the Manitoba Centre for Health Policy (which Katz leads) had been awarded a grant to study “long COVID-19,” the name given to the prolonged suffering experienced by people who contracted, and survived, the novel coronavirus.

Soon after the news broke, Katz said something extraordinary happened: he started getting direct calls from people who believed they were suffering from long COVID, and who wanted to participate in the study.

“I’ve done research for a long time and I’d never seen anything like it before,” he said.
