Renters in British Columbia have received notices from landlords warning them against installing air conditioning units in their suites, or risk jeopardizing their tenancies. Health Minister Adrian Dix said at least 50 per cent of the free air conditioning units were expected to be installed in apartments or multi-unit dwellings. But weeks later, tenants and tenant advocates are speaking out, saying their landlords have discouraged them from using air conditioning units. Ryan Le Neal purchased a standing air conditioning unit for his New Westminster apartment three years ago. His air conditioning unit also isn't mounted in his window, but rather feeds a tube outside.

Across Canada, as the Star’s Megan Ogilvie recently reported, COVID hospitalizations are at their lowest since early 2022 and Ontario’s waste-water signal — the best indicator of daily COVID cases — continues to decline.

The Biden administration and major consumer technology players on Tuesday launched an effort to put a nationwide cybersecurity certification and labeling program in place to help consumers choose smart devices that are less vulnerable to hacking. The Cyber Trust initiative was first announced in October following a meeting between White House and tech industry representatives. The proliferation of so-called smart devices has coincided with growing cybercrime in which one insecure device can often give a cyberintruder a dangerous foothold on a home network. An April report from the cybersecurity firm Bitdefender and networking equipment company NetGear, based on their monitoring of smart homes, found that the most vulnerable devices in 2022 were, far and away, smart TVs, followed by smart plugs, routers and digital video recorders. Providers of numerous smart home devices often don’t update and patch software fast enough to thwart newly emerging malware threats.

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose launched a bid for the U.S. Senate on Monday, describing himself as a “battle-tested” conservative who represents the Republican Party’s best chance to unseat third-term Democrat Sherrod Brown next year and win back the closely divided chamber. “To be blunt, we’ve got a country to save,” LaRose said in an interview with The Associated Press. “In the days ahead, the people of Ohio should ask themselves: What is Frank LaRose really doing for us?” Reeves Oyster, Brown’s campaign spokesperson, said in a statement. Voters first sent Brown to the U.S. Senate in 2007 after 14 years as a congressman, two terms as secretary of state and eight years as a state representative. Voters twice elected Trump by wide margins and, outside the state Supreme Court, Brown is the only Democrat to win election statewide since 2006.

FooteBahl said: This may very well be a dumb question, but he was the first coach AND GM? Darryl Sutter was both head coach and GM in Calgary from like 2002-2006. He stayed on as GM, but stepped down as head coach after a few years. Then he hired Mike Keenan to replace him as head coach and eventually his brother Brent after he left here.Jacques Martin was also both GM and head coach for the Panthers in the 2000's. He did let go of Hynes, but did not make himself head coach.I think the dual GM/head coach position was actually much more common in the 70's and 80's though.

In the classic economic model, the perfect outcome for the rapid growth of a platform is to try to create a network effect. Typically, the greater the number of buyers, sellers, or users, the greater the network effect. You and your company want to profit, and so you pay/contribute/donate something hoping to get something back of greater value. Software and the network effect. If this is so obvious, why is it so often difficult to convince the other guy of the value of cooperation?
