    The MP representing B.C.'s Sea-to-Sky region wants to see passenger rail introduced in the booming region north of Vancouver, just weeks after CN Rail said it intends to discontinue its operations in the area. “And it’s having a major impact on the communities — not just in the Sea-to-Sky, but actually all the way down to creating congestion into Metro Vancouver. So … there is a major need for alternative transportation options.” Weiler said the Sea-to-Sky region, which has been seeing an influx of residents ever since Highway 99 was expanded for the 2010 Olympics, has had its population grow by 60 per cent since then.

    You sure jump to conclusions. I didnt move neighborhoods. I lost a property in another country with two houses on it with ZERO insurance payout because the loss was due to a lava eruption. Total loss of property and my vehicles. I dont need empathy for a “disaster” thats going to take 100 years to take place. Thats ridiculous. I had no warning, they have 100 years to make a move.

    Really glad that BC’s warped version of the NDP is pressing towards keeping their promise of sustainability.

    I had fun with different JW’s there was one that tried to straighten me out but I do not think he survived 2020 because I have not had a JW come visit me since. I have a PRIDE flag in the window to keep others away! I am a nihilist who has studied religion to get my BA. I have always wanted to see a street preacher to start asking the hard questions like: “why is your sky Daddy such an ass hole.”

    [image: 4db2b5ff-d0bb-4db8-ab77-85cbfbeaca16.jpeg] Conventionally, and treatylyly, you can travel through US waters as long as you don’t intend to stop. Canadian ferries do this all the time. Someday soon, hundreds of Canadians are going to be arrested because US national security depends on a crisis to distract you from Trump’s latest embarrassment.

    Copying the At a glance section from CIHR site: Issue Neonatal sepsis is the third major cause of death for babies 28 days or younger. It is difficult to diagnose sepsis in newborns and if not treated quickly it can cause developmental delays, learning disabilities and death. Research Dr. Bob Hancock and his team, including MD/PhD student Andy An at UBC and collaborator Dr. Amy Lee from Simon Fraser University, developed a software program that can predict sepsis in newborns, even in babies that do not have any symptoms of the condition. The article isn’t that long, and worth a read if you’re curious. Here are some excerpts: Two babies are born minutes apart. One is lethargic, has a fever and is breathing rapidly. The other is alert, has a normal temperature, and is breathing regularly. Both have sepsis. Both could die if the sepsis is left untreated. That’s the challenge with neonatal sepsis. It is hard to detect, hard to diagnose and the longer you wait to treat it, the more life threatening it becomes. Sepsis is an overwhelming response to an infection that spreads throughout the bloodstream. Normally the body uses its immune system to fight infection, but in sepsis, the immune response is impaired causing serious damage to tissues and organs. Sepsis is one of the leading causes of death in newborns in The Gambia. Microbiologist Dr. Bob Hancock and his lab at the University of British Columbia extracted RNA from blood cells collected from 700 babies in the West African country to find out why neonatal sepsis rates were so elevated. They sequenced the RNA to look for changes in gene expression linked to sepsis. Out of the 700 babies, they detected that 15 had sepsis in the first week of life. “The Eureka was when we went back and looked at the babies, we saw big changes occurring at the time of birth in babies that were going to go on to acquire sepsis compared to babies who just had a local infection, or babies who didn’t have any infection at all,” said Dr. Hancock. “In other words, sepsis was already starting, even though those babies looked healthy.” The team used their findings to apply bioinformatics tools—software programs that analyze gene expression patterns in the blood of newborns—to identify specific molecular markers associated with sepsis. “So, we can predict sepsis before it occurs,” Dr. Hancock explained, “and that is astonishingly important because those babies can now be carefully monitored and treated as early as possible, rather than waiting until they’re really getting sick.” A relatively small number of babies born in Canada have sepsis—1 to 5 cases per 1,000 live births—but those that do can be born in rural or remote areas where getting rapid lab results is challenging. A predictive tool like the one Dr. Hancock’s lab developed could help physicians detect sepsis in newborns more quickly, averting long term health issues and even death. CIHR recently awarded Dr. Hancock’s collaborators a grant to conduct clinical studies on a predictive tool for sepsis in the general population. The tool is integrated into a point-of-care device that enables physicians to predict sepsis at the patient’s bedside, accelerating treatment and improving chances of recovery.
