Billionaire tapped to lead NASA looks beyond SpaceXWhen I first started making presentations at City Hall to oppose or criticize what was being proposed, I was the youngest person doing so. Forty years later, I found I was the only person doing so. And it isn’t because what was being proposed this week was perfect or uncontroversial. It was because the administration suppresses public participation. And if you do show up, you feel like you aren’t welcome. Last weekend I learned that only three delegations were registered to speak at the “Malls and Corridors” bylaw amendment hearing on Tuesday that would open up zoning rules for residential housing at shopping centres and along some main transit and commercial drags. All three were developers. To some extent this is another version of infill housing, but on a larger and taller scale, spurred on by the conditions to qualify for Justin Trudeau’s Housing Accelerator Fund (HAF). I have no issue with major development companies, who take big financial risks and more often than not are professionals who take pride in their community, having a say about the rule changes. But having recently seen and heard the disastrous effects that infill construction projects have had on Windermere Avenue in Fort Garry and in St. Vital’s Glenwood neighborhood, I was concerned that councillors would dive headlong into the changes in the name of “affordable housing” without being asked to include protections for existing homeowners and renters. Mature neighborhoods have learned the hard way the City doesn’t care about the noise, garbage, mud, pollution and heavy truck traffic that ensues. Not to mention damage to their foundations and walls. I am no newcomer to speaking at Council committees and council meetings. Since the 1980’s I have appeared to speak about Equal Employment Hiring programs, the creation of a Race Relations Committee, election rules, the aborted Marion Freeway, taxi regulation, and of course bike lanes. In many of those cases I protested bungled or outright slanted public consultations and the City creating obstacles to ensuring that the general public, and not just favoured “stakeholders” were properly informed of the ramifications of proposals, and had their chance to have a say. But when I tried to have a say this time, guess what I found? Obstacles. I phoned 311 to register as a delegation in opposition to the bylaw. The operator told me I could only appear via a Zoom link. When I explained a councillor told me delegations could appear in person, I was told that was wrong. I asked to be put through to the City Clerk’s office to clarify the procedure. The operator told me I could not be put through and they didn’t have a phone number for the clerk to give me. I asked to speak to a supervisor, was put on hold for about 6 minutes, and they returned saying they found a supervisor and would transfer the call. The next thing I heard was a recording saying, “There has been an error” and the call was disconnected. I spent 15 minutes trying to participate in our democracy and got hung up on. So I googled ‘Winnipeg Malls and Corridors’ and found the city webpage about registering for the hearing. And right there, was a phone number for the Clerk’s office. An official answered the phone and confirmed it was not a Zoom-only hearing. I got on the list but when I asked if they would be informing someone up the ladder that 311 was giving false information about the hearing and refusing to give the clerk’s number despite it being listed on the webpage, the response was 311 would be told to update their information and that was all. So there was no interest in accountability, only in concealing the blunders. And there was another blunder right on the webpage with the clerk’s number, as it claimed people had to register by noon on Monday. In fact for a public hearing, the public can ask to speak to the agenda the same day. In summary, the City provided three pieces of false information or guidance to someone trying to take part in the special meeting. Early in Tuesday’s hearing, Transcona Councillor Russ Wyatt noted that the gallery was empty, aside from about 5 of us waiting to appear. He grilled Planning Director Hazel Borys, the proponent of the amendments, what efforts were made to engage the public and where the budget was spent. What he was told was typical of the excuses and ‘do the bare minimum’ approach of Winnipeg bureaucrats. The “team” decided to advertise in only one newspaper- not the Winnipeg Sun mind you- and bought no Facebook ads. No leaflets were dropped on streets like St. Anne’s or McPhillips that are directly targeted for new builds. And of course, a supposedly sparse budget and rushed process was also cited as an excuse for the gallery being empty. While Borys cited that the October open houses drew 123 people, an average of 10 people an hour for 12 hours over 4 days in a city of 850,000 is nothing to brag about. Delegations were limited to 5 minutes to present their case. I waited from 9.30 am until exactly 6.30 pm- 9 hours- to make my presentation. Others waited even longer. I stuck it out to tell Mayor Scott Gillingham and councillors that their obsession with Tru-dough will shift harsh burdens onto the neighbouring streets and that existing homeowners and residents should have some rights too, starting with notice of when construction will commence. There’s no food available inside the Council building, no drink machine, one washroom, and it cost me $20 in parking fees. The hearing dragged on until almost 1 am when it was adjourned to be continued on Thursday. No one I asked can recall a council meeting going on for 15 hours like that. It was their longest day ever, but by the end, there was no media or voters there to watch over it. In 40 years, I’ve seen the ability of the public to find out what’s proposed for their neighbourhoods, look their elected representatives in the eye, and challenge those proposals diminish, despite fancy new technology and the invention of a ‘public engagement’ office. You couldn’t invent a more discouraging environment for the public if you tried. — Marty Gold is a Winnipeg journalist. You can find more of his work at The Great Canadian Talk Show .

Bridget Morla faces two counts of sexual assault. Morla was off-duty at the time of the alleged assaults, according to the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT). ASIRT announced the charges Monday following a two-year investigation. Morla, 39, has been a police officer for 13 years. She has been suspended with pay since the investigation commenced in late 2022, according to RCMP spokesperson Fraser Logan. Court records show the two alleged victims are males. The alleged assaults took place on Dec. 3, 2022, "while a group of people were socializing," according to ASIRT. The civilian oversight agency was directed to investigate the matter on Dec. 13, 2022. ASIRT sent its investigative findings to the Alberta Crown Prosecution Service, which determined that the case met its standard for prosecution. Morla was released from custody and is set to make her first court appearance in Airdrie next week. ASIRT investigates incidents involving police that result in serious injury or death, as well as allegations of police misconduct.
In the days following the killing of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson , people online have discussed the state of American health care, particularly its high costs. In a handwritten document expressing his views, the suspected shooter, 26-year-old Luigi Mangione, claimed that the U.S. has the most expensive health care system in the world, but ranks number 42 in life expectancy, multiple media outlets reported. Some on social media repeated the claim or made posts comparing the high costs of the U.S. healthcare system to the nation’s lower life expectancy. THE QUESTION Does the U.S. have the most expensive health care system in the world? THE SOURCES World Health Organization (WHO) Global Health Expenditure data Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) Peterson-KFF Health System Tracker THE ANSWER Yes, the U.S. has the most expensive health care system in the world. WHAT WE FOUND A country’s health care costs are typically measured by adding up all health care spending for people, governments, organizations and businesses, and dividing that by the total number of people in the country. The figure includes spending on personal health care, such as drugs and hospital visits, as well as collective care, such as public health services and health administration. The U.S. health care system is more expensive per person than any other country’s health care system, both in raw dollar amounts and when spending is adjusted to account for the cost of living in each country. This finding is consistent across data from multiple international organizations. In 2021, the most recent year for which the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Health Expenditure database published numbers for all countries, the U.S. spent just over $12,000 on health care per person. The only other country that spent more than $10,000 was Switzerland, which spent nearly $10,900 per person. However, when adjusted for the cost of goods in each country, the spending gap is even larger. Switzerland, which still spent the second most, spent about $9,000 on health care per person in 2021. The U.S., on the other hand, spent about $12,000 per person. Looking at another dataset, in 2022, the U.S. spent nearly $12,600 on health care per person, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) , an international organization made up of about 40 wealthy member countries. The OECD collects data on its member countries. The OECD country that spent the next most on health care per person, when adjusted for the cost of goods in that country, was still Switzerland. It spent just over $8,000 per person, according to the OECD’s data. Wealthy countries do tend to spend more money on health care per person than lower income countries, according to the Peterson-KFF Health System Tracker , a partnership between two public health non-profit organizations. But Denmark, Switzerland, Ireland, Luxembourg and Norway are all wealthier per person than the U.S. is and spend significantly less on health care per person, according to the Health System Tracker. Ireland spends less than half of what the U.S. does on health care per person. Life expectancy and health outcomes When it comes to how the U.S. ranks for life expectancy and health outcomes, it’s true that the U.S. is behind dozens of other countries, although several international organizations don’t place the U.S. exactly at number 42. A CIA World Factbook estimate for 2024 ranked the U.S. 35th in life expectancy once territories are excluded. The WHO ranked the U.S. 45th in the world, excluding territories, in life expectancy in 2021, the most recent year for which the WHO has data for all countries. WHO data from 2019 shows that the U.S. was 40th in life expectancy prior to the pandemic. The U.S. experienced a bigger drop in life expectancy than other similarly wealthy countries during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to the Health System Tracker , which is run by the nonprofits The Peterson Center on Healthcare and KFF. The Health System Tracker explains this is because the pandemic increased mortality and premature death rates in the U.S. by more than it did in most peer countries, making the U.S. fall further behind in life expectancy.

NoneTHE relentless speed of technology innovation is undeniable. When combined with a natural fear of missing out, ideas that may once have seemed like science fiction are rapidly converting into tangible reality. From generative AI to quantum computing, the potential benefits are huge, and so is the risk of making costly mistakes. A key theme from this year’s “KPMG Global Tech Report” research is the perception among tech executives that they are struggling to keep up with the pace of change. In response to this sense of falling behind, organizations may be tempted to make a hurried response. However, this can lead to misguided investments that may prove both risky and expensive, potentially increasing the burden of technical debt which many well-established organizations are already struggling with. “Balancing tech advancements with strategic, evidence-based decisions is essential to extracting genuine value. In the Philippines, where digital transformation is rapidly advancing across various sectors, this balance ensures solutions are not only resilient but also scaled safely and responsibly. With AI and other emerging technologies making waves, it’s critical for organizations to approach these tools thoughtfully to avoid costly missteps and drive sustainable growth,” R.G. Manabat & Co. Technology Consulting Head Jallain Marcel S. Manrique said. Identifying value amid the hype TO harness the full potential of the wave of new tech advancements, organizations must sustain a measured, strategic approach to investment. Rapid change is driving “fear of missing out” (Fomo). Our research shows that the rapidly accelerated technology innovation over the past year has amplified a strong sense of Fomo among organizations. The flood of AI-related news entering the mainstream has stirred a collective interest in AI that transcends seniority and technical expertise. This has only served to stoke the fires of ‘tech-envy’ and could encourage a ‘spend now, ask questions later’ attitude. Digital transformation can bring many exciting benefits, and ambition to progress is only healthy, but organizations must not let it distort their judgement. Progress paranoia could lead to misguided investments and disjointed implementation initiatives. Optimizing value through evidence-based decision ON balance, organizations are content with the outcomes of their digital transformation investments, mostly thanks to their ability to make sound decisions along the journey. With the pace of change pressuring tech execs, organizations must ensure haste does not compromise the quality of their judgment calls. Investing for the long term is still a good discipline to follow. With execs fearing that their organizations are struggling to keep up with the pace of change, planning for the long term can be difficult when balancing the needs of the latest technological advancements. To maximize progress, tech execs should channel digital transformation efforts towards what matters most strategically to their organizations. Delivering resilient solutions SECURING the most value from identified opportunities relies on robust data-driven processes, security and governance. As they troubleshoot the problems that threaten their resilience, organizations are placing cybersecurity and data proficiency at the top of their priority lists. Data both drives and sustains digital transformation. Data maturity, security, and governance enable the pace of innovation, and can help improve customer experiences. Insufficiently secure solutions create the risk of data breaches, inefficiencies, or missed opportunities, which can erode business value and customer trust. Data security and governance form a robust transformation delivery infrastructure that underpins an organization’s strategic ability to differentiate, maintain cost effectiveness and manage risk in the digital era. Scaling AI with confidence ALMOST three-quarters of organizations are already achieving business value from their AI investments, but only one in three has been able to achieve this at scale. Enthusiasm is being fueled by democratized experimentation approaches, but as use cases scale up many predict a tipping point marking a drive towards greater centralization. The AI ‘black-box’ is causing workforce anxiety. Managing employee anxiety around change will be critical to AI adoption at speed. Those who navigate the evolving tech landscape with a focus on employee empowerment, and bringing everyone on board, will flourish amid rapid change. Organizations believe their workforce has an appetite for cutting-edge tech. But there is also fear that some individuals feel left behind by the rapidly evolving tech landscape. Conclusion and key recommendations WHILE the pace of digital transformation can be daunting, our research shows that many organizations are taking considerable strides forward in their implementation journeys, especially with AI, XaaS and cybersecurity. The additional profitability that transformation has yielded so far is certainly encouraging and organizations are seeking value beyond profits. Execs are calibrating their digital transformation formulas to supercharge progress across a range of strategic objectives, including ESG responsibilities and customer experience elevation. To help guard against stakeholder skepticism associated with the safety and viability of new digital transformation opportunities, organizations should also bring structure, discipline and an enterprise mindset to the adoption of new technology, to mitigate risks and optimize value realization.

Capricorn, Daily Horoscope Today, December 13, 2024: Keep a watchful eye on your expenditureTrump's pick to lead the DEA withdraws from considerationElon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy say they’re hunting for ways to make American government more efficient. One possible target: the semiannual changing of the clock that so many Americans dislike. “Looks like the people want to abolish the annoying time changes!” Musk wrote last week on his social platform, X, linking to another user’s online poll that found most respondents wanted to end daylight saving time. The practice of shifting clocks forward one hour in March and back one hour in November is intended to maximize Americans’ exposure to sunlight during working hours but has long been derided for causing groggy mornings, missed appointments and even some public health problems. “It’s inefficient & easy to change,” Ramaswamy wrote in a reply to Musk. It was not immediately clear whether the two men, whom President-elect Donald Trump has tapped to run a new effort dubbed the “Department of Government Efficiency” were seriously floating a new policy priority or just spitballing on social media. It was also unclear how a Trump White House would seek to end clock changes, given that Congress – not the executive branch – has controlled the nation’s time shifts, and lawmakers’ recent legislation has stalled. Ramaswamy did not respond to a request for comment. X and Tesla, which Musk also owns, did not immediately respond to requests sent to them asking for comment from Musk. In a follow-up post, Musk told Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) that he did indeed want to end the time changes. The simmering fight over how Americans set their clocks, and when they must do it, has drawn unusual coalitions in Washington based more on geography than on politics. Republicans and Democrats, mostly from the coasts, have called for year-round daylight saving time, saying that permanently advancing the clocks one hour and never “falling back” would allow more people to enjoy sunshine and avoid the frustrations involved with resetting clocks. “Switching the clocks just doesn’t make sense for a country on the move,” Sen. Edward J. Markey (D-Massachusetts) said in a statement to The Washington Post. “But we need permanent daylight saving time – more hours of daylight in the evening means more hours to get things done.” Politicians in the center of the country have often balked at the idea, warning that a year-round “spring forward” would mean winter sunrises that could creep past 9 a.m. in cities such as Indianapolis and Detroit. Meanwhile, public health groups have said that permanent standard time would be more natural for our circadian rhythms, citing research that the clock changes increase the risk of heart attacks, stroke and other health problems. “There is a significant stress on the body, and changes that occur, when we are not aligned to the right internal clock,” Lourdes DelRosso, a sleep medicine physician at the University of California at San Francisco-Fresno and co-chair of this year’s World Sleep Day awareness event, said in an interview earlier this year. A March 2023 YouGov poll found that 62% of Americans want to end the practice of changing the clocks, but there was little consensus over what to do next. Half of respondents said they wanted year-round daylight saving time, just under one-third wanted permanent standard time and the remainder said they were unsure or had no opinion. For more than a century, Americans have shifted their clocks forward every spring and back every fall, a tradition that was eventually enshrined in federal law. Voters’ complaints about those clock changes are not new. Lawmakers in the early 1970s moved to permanently adopt daylight saving time, but the decision almost immediately backfired with nationwide complaints, such as children waiting in the dark for school buses to arrive. Congress rolled back the change after 10 months. That defeat has not stopped Markey and other lawmakers who have steadily pushed to lengthen the number of days that Americans spend under daylight saving time, extending that period in 1985, and again in 2005. Most Americans now live with daylight saving time for 238 days a year – nearly eight months. (Two states, Hawaii and most of Arizona, have opted out of the semiannual time changes and remain on permanent standard time, which states are allowed to do.) But states cannot adopt permanent daylight saving time unless Congress passes a bill that allows them to do so. There is a growing political movement attempting to do just that; the Senate in 2022 passed a bill that died in the House. Twenty states have also approved measures that would allow them to adopt year-round daylight saving time if Congress passed a bill making it permanent nationwide, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Other countries have ended their own clock changes, including Mexico, which moved to abolish daylight saving time in 2022. Musk was born and spent his childhood in South Africa – which does not follow daylight saving time – and has previously mocked America’s semiannual time changes. “Finally, an explanation for daylight savings that makes sense ...” the billionaire entrepreneur wrote on social media in 2017, linking to a video by the Onion, a satirical news site, that lampooned the practice. President Biden’s views on time changes are unclear. The White House has not responded to questions in the past two years about whether Biden supported efforts in Congress to adopt year-round daylight saving time, which may have stifled lawmakers’ attempts to attract support for their bill. But the next president appears more receptive. “Making Daylight Saving Time permanent is O.K. with me!” Trump wrote on social media in March 2019, the Monday morning after the “spring forward” took effect that year. The Transportation Department oversees the implementation of daylight saving time, and agency officials have said DOT does not have the authority to change it without an act of Congress. It is not clear whether Musk and Ramaswamy, who have argued that recent Supreme Court decisions would allow the White House to make regulatory changes without going through Congress, see a path to doing so with daylight saving time. Their commission is supposed to make its recommendations to the president by July 4, 2026 – the date they’ve targeted to wind down their panel. Musk and Ramaswamy may have other allies in Trump’s emerging administration. Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Florida), Trump’s pick to serve as secretary of state, has spent years calling to end clock changes and make daylight saving time year-round. “My Sunshine Protection Act would end this stupid practice of changing our clocks back and forth,” Rubio said in a statement in March, referencing his legislation. His office did not respond to a request for comment about whether Rubio had spoken with Musk and Ramaswamy about ending the semiannual clock changes. “Can we just stop changing our clocks twice a year?” Jim O’Neill, Trump’s pick to be deputy secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services, wrote on X in 2022. “The one industry that doesn’t need disruption is daylight.” We invite you to add your comments.

( MENAFN - Jordan Times) AMMAN - Chairman of the Independent Election Commission (IEC) Musa Maaytah said on Monday that election Legitimacy depends on transparency, legal adherence, and public confidence in the results, which reinforce citizens' belief in the importance of their votes. Maaytah made these remarks during a meeting organised by the Arab Women Organisation (AWO), in cooperation with the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) and the Jordanian National Commission for Women (JNCW), the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. He stressed the importance of including all segments of society in the political process, underlining that empowering women is a crucial component of achieving democracy, development, and social justice. Maaytah also emphasised that Jordan continues to make significant strides in empowering women, with female representation in the 20th Parliament reaching 27 per cent, demonstrating the country's ongoing commitment to enhancing women's political participation. Secretary-General of the JNCW Maha Ali expressed pride in the increased representation of women in the Jordanian Parliament, which now stands at 19.6 per cent, the highest in the Kingdom's history. She also emphasised that this milestone reflects the Royal vision of supporting women's roles across various sectors. Ali also commended the IEC for its efforts to promote women's participation, particularly through the adoption of the definition of electoral violence against women and the establishment of mechanisms to address it. Director of the "WoMENA" programme at GIZ Annette Funke commended Jordan's progress in promoting gender equality within the electoral process.
