MOON ALERT: Caution! Avoid shopping or major decisions after noon today. The solar eclipse (new moon) in Leo peaks at 12:37 p.m.

ARIES (March 21-April 19)

This is the perfect time to hatch some new ideas and plans, perhaps related to vacations, your kids or an artistic project that appeals. Even though it’s a sudden decision, it might lead to more stability in the future.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20)

This year you can improve your home or move to a better one. Likewise, you can improve your family relations. Meanwhile the solar eclipse is exactly the energy you need to make a sudden decision that can ultimately solidify things in the way you want.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20)

The solar eclipse might prompt you to make a radical decision that will push you in a new direction to broadens your world. This could relate to your siblings, relatives and neighbours. Or you might secure a friendship or your relationship with a group?

CANCER (June 21-July 22)

The new moon is a dazzling solar eclipse that takes place in your money house, which could trigger a new way of thinking for you about how you want to handle your money, and how you want to earn it. The result will probably be more reliable. Ka-ching!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22)

A dazzling solar eclipse takes place in your sign. This will give you the impetus to make a sudden decision that ultimately brings more security or stability to your world. You might see a way to boost your future income?

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22)

Because a solar eclipse is taking place in a hidden part of your chart, it could make you excited and restless in a vague way. You might feel you want to begin something new. Or you might want to bounce ideas off someone? Get ready to act on your feelings.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)

You’re a social sign, and the solar eclipse is in your house of friendships making you entertain some radical ideas about your relationship with a friend or your relations with a group. You might even come up with some unusual goals for the future?

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)

It’s the classic day to explore ideas that affect your life path in the future. They might be radical. They might be different from anything you’ve ever done before. Nevertheless, go with what moves you because it will likely secure your future.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)

You are the traveller of the zodiac. The solar eclipse will encourage you to do something unusual — even radical. It might relate to publishing, higher education, medicine, the law or travel. Go for it! Decide to shape your future.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)

This is an interesting day because the solar eclipse might prompt you to think about a new approach to shared property, inheritances or whatever you own jointly with someone else. What you decide might ultimately be a more sensible decision?

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)

The solar eclipse is taking place directly opposite your sign, which will encourage you to think of a radically new approach to your closest relationships. Don’t hesitate to share these ideas with someone, because it could be a game changer.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)

This is the perfect day to entertain new ideas related to your job, your health or your pet. This is because you might make a sudden decision that somehow leads to greater future security for you. Ironically, it might be a radical decision. Are you up for it?

TODAY’S BIRTHDAY

Model, actor Cara Delevingne (1992) shares your birthday. You are sensible, well-meaning and responsible. You are also an independent thinker and seek to benefit humankind. Socialize and enjoy your world this year because your desire for life is at a pinnacle. Nurture the happiness and beauty you have within. Let your guard down and loosen up a bit!

Report reveals crude oil shipment amounts

Dylan Robertson 6 minute read Monday, Mar. 18, 2019

OTTAWA — Lord Roberts resident Bev Pike has tried for years to figure out how much oil is moving along the train tracks in her neighbourhood; it seems the number of oil tank cars has increased.

“It’s full trains that are just oil,” said Pike, who counts tank cars that bear the red 12-67 placard, which indicates crude oil. “It’s increasing dramatically; that’s what we see in this neighbourhood.”

Newly obtained data, which CN Rail fought against being publicly released, provides a rare look at just how much oil has been moving by rail in Manitoba.

CN Rail transported about 20 million barrels of crude oil from Winnipeg to northwestern Ontario over the course of 12 months five years ago, according to risk assessments the railway filed to Transport Canada.

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

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.

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.
