Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre (RVH) is the first hospital in Canada to introduce the AngelEye CameraSystem, an innovative technology that allows parents and loved ones to securely view their newborn in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) from anywhere, at any time, using a phone, tablet or computer. The new system provides families with a secure livestream of their baby and enables care teams to share updates, helping parents stay connected during one of the most challenging times in their lives.

Europe’s top-flight clubs will share half of the $250m (£185m) solidarity pot from the Club World Cup last year, ending a saga that had caused widespread frustration among those who did not participate in the tournament. Fifa and European Football Clubs (EFC) are close to an agreement that would bring a 50-50 split between sides in Europe and the rest of the world. The fund, set aside to ensure the competition contributes to football’s wider ecosystem, will be distributed once the deal has been ratified. EFC had sought a share of just over 60% , but compromised after Fifa insisted on a more equal global distribution. A portion of the $125m will be given to all top-division European clubs not involved in the Club World Cup, with amounts varying depending on the number of seasons a side competed at that level between 2021 and 2024. An amount will also go to clubs with the best performance in Uefa club competitions during that period, again provided they did not play in the tournament in the US in 2025. It raises the likelihood of clubs receiving wildly varying payments. Liverpool, the Champions League runners-up in 2022, would be among those to benefit at the higher end of the scale.

, /CNW/ -- LNG Canada today announced that its Joint Venture Participants (JVPs) – Shell, PETRONAS, PetroChina, Mitsubishi Corporation and KOGAS – have taken a Final Investment Decision (FID) on the LNG Canada Phase 2 expansion project in Kitimat, British Columbia, in the traditional territory of the Haisla Nation. The decision marks the next step in LNG Canada's development as a British-Columbia-based Project of National Significance, representing one of the largest private sector investments in Canada, building on LNG Canada's Phase 1. This artist’s rendering illustrates the LNG Canada project at full build-out and may not be to scale. Colours, features, materials and the final location of certain elements are subject to change as ongoing evaluations and design work progress.

The genus-3 polyhedron is what's known as a toroidal polytope. It may be hard to believe, but mathematicians are still discovering shapes. The latest three-dimensional example is far stranger than your standard cube or pyramid. Dubbed the genus-3 polyhedron by Ruslan Mizhaev, the independent researcher’s newly identified shape features eight faces arranged so that every pair shares at least one edge. The end result is an oddity with 26 edges and 24 vertices, with 20 face pairs sharing a single edge while eight others share two faces. And as if the concept wasn’t headspinning enough, three faces meet at every vertex.

AI agents don’t go rogue. That’s something only humans do. Nevertheless, a New York Times article – representative of much news coverage of AI – described an OpenAI hacking as “A. I. bots going rogue and independently spearheading a cyberattack.”

Fruit is a friend to the heart, boosting its health by lowering some of the key risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Eating plenty of fruits may play a “major role” in preventing clogged arteries, which can lead to a heart attack, studies have found. The soluble fiber in fruit can improve cholesterol, for example, says Dr. Annapoorna Kini, a cardiologist at the Mount Sinai Fuster Heart Hospital in New York. “The American diet has very little fiber. The usual fiber recommendation is more than 20 grams, 25 to 30 is ideal, but nobody can get that,” Kini tells TODAY.com. Soluble fiber dissolves in water and forms a gel-like substance in the gut, which traps cholesterol and its precursors. It’s then excreted in a bowel movement, naturally lowering cholesterol levels in the body. Eating lots of whole fruits may also reduce the risk of developing high blood pressure, researchers reported in the journal Hypertension. Fruits contain potassium, which can help ease tension on blood vessel walls and reduce the effects of too much sodium, the American Heart Association notes.

Some computations are so hardcore that it takes a facility of extraordinary power to even think about running them. These are the supercomputers – massive facilities humming with the corpulence of their GPUs and CPUs, crunching applications that would take a desktop computer hundreds to thousands of years. A commercially accessible quantum computer has just accomplished a feat that suggests this newer technology could one day leave supercomputers in the dust. In just 19 seconds, IBM's Nighthawk r2 processor generated a million samples – a task estimated to take a supercomputer around 110 years. The results of the experiment have been described in a preprint currently available on arXiv. "To our knowledge," write researchers in a paper led by theoretical condensed matter physicist Tigran Sedrakyan of BlueQubit in the US, "this is the first demonstration of quantum advantage for a vanilla random-circuit sampling on a commercially and broadly accessible quantum processor that most non-expert quantum computer users can easily replicate. "Nighthawk r2, IBM's current-gen quantum processor.

Renting has become significantly more expensive in Canada in recent years. Asking rents—those advertised for vacant units—rose sharply as demand grew faster than supply. As tenants move and sign new leases, changes in asking rents gradually spread to the average rents captured in the consumer price index. About one‑third of Canadians are renters. But they are not all exposed to the same rental market conditions.

Going through menopause brings with it major shifts in biology for women, and experts have long wondered whether this could be part of the reason that Alzheimer's disease is notably more common in women than in men. Past studies have suggested that the significant drop in estrogen that menopause brings with it could be involved somewhere: a hormone involved in everything from how brain cells connect to how they produce energy. To take a closer look, researchers from the US tapped into health data on 2,603 women, cross-referencing menopause age against a number of markers for memory and brain function, as well as cases of Alzheimer's, for up to 18 years. The results of the study have now been published in JAMA Network Open. While the findings don't show a direct cause-and-effect link between earlier menopause and Alzheimer's disease, there were several associations worth highlighting that are worthy of future investigation.

Leader of the Catholic Church says AI safety issues should be taken seriously and acted on. Pope Leo has said that concerns about artificial intelligence going rogue are not “fake news” and should be taken seriously, insisting that safety issues raised by AI experts should be discussed and acted on. Leo, who dedicated his first encyclical to AI and protecting humanity in its wake, was asked during a news conference on Monday about what the United States and China especially should be doing to prevent AI from posing catastrophic risks to humanity.

As the rise of AI-powered hacking grabs the headlines, cybersecurity leaders are quietly starting to define best practices for deploying AI as a defensive tool. Leaders are initially strengthening their remediation operating model to handle the surge in vulnerability findings created by AI-powered threat scans.

For Beijing, managing AI requires walking a razor’s edge: seal off domestic internet users from foreign influence, but keep China’s top developers linked to the global cutting edge. When Chinese regulators blocked U. S.-based open-source hub Hugging Face in 2023, it opened a market for domestic alternatives —  even as the government quietly tolerates artificial intelligence labs bypassing the block to share Chinese models with the world.
