FIFA’s Vancouver contract could shut out businesses near BC Place

While the FIFA 2026 World Cup is being touted as an economic boon for the City of Vancouver, it may not work out that way for some businesses close to the marquee venue. That’s according to a clause in the Host City Agreement, recently obtained and published by independent journalist Bob Mackin of The Breaker News after a three-year battle.The contract requires the city to establish a “controlled area” located “directly adjacent to the outer stadium perimeter and in which certain commercial and other activities are prohibited on match days and the days prior to match days.”The contract requires signage in the controlled area to be removed or covered, and restricts the public sale of food and beverages along with souvenirs, in order to protect the rights of FIFA’s corporate partners.That’s ...

Here’s a Sneak Peak at the Next Batch of Emoji Coming to Your Device

What's up, besties? It's World Emoji Day, which means it's time to look at some new emoji (or is that emojis?). In a post on its blog today, the Unicode Consortium, the nonprofit behind the standardized set of emoji across you see across all your various devices and apps, previewed its next set of icons and expressions. The group says there's still "a lot of paperwork" to do on these, so they might not hit your phones and tablets until sometime around 2026, according to an email Unicode's Erik Thompson sent to The Verge.But what a batch it is: We've got a musical instrument. We've got treasure. We've got one of those old-school cartoon fight clouds. And of course, we've got a cryptid. While new emoji have proven surprisingly political in the past, this update seems more focused on crowd-pl...

Kolkata doctors give woman new lease of life after 10-hr ovarian cancer surgery

In a remarkable feat of advanced surgical care, the hospital in Kolkata has successfully performed a 10-hour-long, high-risk surgery on a 60-year-old patient diagnosed with severely advanced ovarian cancer. The patient, Rina Ganguly (name changed), had cancer that not only spread extensively in the abdominal cavity but had also reached the chest lymph nodes, making the case highly complex. Ovarian cancer is the third most common cancer among women in India and is often referred to as a "silent killer" due to its lack of symptoms in the early stages, which frequently leads to diagnosis at an advanced stage. In such cases, performing an ultra-radical surgery to remove all visible disease is the most crucial prognostic factor in improving survival outcomes. The operation was led by Dr Arun...

U.K. may lower voting age to 16. What to know – National

The British government said on Thursday it planned to give 16 and 17-year-olds the right to vote in all UK elections in a major overhaul of the country’s democratic system. The government said the proposed changes were part of an effort to boost public trust in democracy and would align voting rights across Britain, where younger voters already participate in devolved elections in Scotland and Wales.“They’re old enough to go out to work, they’re old enough to pay taxes … and I think if you pay in, you should have the opportunity to say what you want your money spent on, which way the government should go,” Prime Minister Keir Starmer told ITV News.Globally, most countries have a voting age of 18, however in last year’s European Parliament elections European Union members were given the opt...

Experiencing insomnia? Yoga, tai chi, walking may help you sleep better: Study

The findings, published in the online journal BMJ Evidence Based Medicine, back the use of exercise as a primary treatment strategy for poor sleep patterns.

It is associated with heightened risks of various mental and physical health conditions, including dementia and cardiovascular disease. Drug treatments for insomnia come with side effects, and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), while effective, isn’t always available due to the shortage of trained therapists, explained the researchers from Beijing University of Chinese Me...
