Health In Tech, Inc. Announces Pricing of Initial Public OfferingZelensky Says Ukraine Will Continue Striking Russian Military Targets
The search and rescue organization for Metro Vancouver’s North Shore mountains is warning people to do their research after two international visitors became stranded while relying on hiking apps to plan their routes. Allan McMordie with North Shore Rescue managed the Sunday night rescue of a man from Goat Ridge, a backcountry area behind Grouse Mountain. He said the man told rescuers he had not been expecting snow, despite two of the local ski hills opening with fresh powder last month. “All you had to do was look at the top of the mountains from Vancouver and know there’s snow up there,” he said in an interview. “To be in running shoes and not even expecting any snow was pretty naive.” The man from France had set out on a marked route, then decided to make his way through very rough, steep terrain to a separate trail at significantly higher elevation. “This is rugged backcountry,” McMordie said. “It’s almost impassable.” McMordie could not confirm which apps the hikers in both recent rescues were using, but said a lack of any marked route or trail reports is a good indication not to use the application. In any case, he said trip planning should involve multiple sources for information. If the man from France had done any research, McMordie said he would have discovered the backcountry area where he was rescued is closed for the winter. In both recent cases, he said there are signs at each trailhead with maps showing trails and topography, along with reminders about key steps in trip planning, he said. Both men were lucky to have been able to make 911 calls, McMordie added, as service is patchy in the area and their phone batteries had nearly run out. Above all, he said hikers should tell someone else where they’re going and when they expect to return, so that person can alert local authorities if necessary. “Absolutely nobody knew where this person was and what he was doing that day,” McMordie said of the man from France. “If he had not been able to get that (911) call out, he would still be there.” Sunday’s rescue on Goat Ridge came three days after a similar call, when another man”seriously underestimated the difficulty” of a route marked in an online hiking app, North Shore Rescue said in a statement posted to social media. The group said there is “barely a trail” in the summer and “nothing whatsoever” in the winter, making for “full mountaineering conditions” at this time of year. The man called for help after hiking for eight hours that left him “tired, soaked (and) hypothermic” as the sun was setting,” it said. It’s doubtful the man would have survived the night in the Mount Seymour backcountry if he hadn’t been able to make the call, the rescue group added. The man had been staying in a short-term accommodation and had taken an Uber to the trailhead. Only his girlfriend in Norway knew where he was, and he was not wearing or carrying adequate gear for the conditions, McMordie said. Vancouver-based Stephen Hui, the author of several B.C. hiking guidebooks, said the rough, mountainous terrain steps away from urban Metro Vancouver and the extent of the snowpack in winter is a surprise for many visiting hikers. Hui said online apps can be helpful and often provide commentary about trail conditions from other hikers, but it’s crucial to look at additional sources of information, including complete maps and provincial and national park websites. He said local authorities and outdoor groups have some responsibility for people heading into the backcountry, and there is room for more signage and education. Ultimately, though, he said people must be responsible for themselves. “We can’t handhold everybody,” he said. “There’s always going to be dangers in hiking.”
WILMINGTON, Delaware :Qualcomm's central processors are properly licensed under an agreement with Arm Holdings, a jury found in a trial in U.S. federal court that removed some, but not all, uncertainty around the mobile chipmaker's expansion into the laptop market. A week of courtroom arguments and deliberations ended in a mistrial after the jury failed to resolve one of three questions put before it in the trial between the two chip giants. Qualcomm said the result affirmed its right to innovate, but Arm vowed to seek a new trial. Arm's shares were down 1.8 per cent in extended trading after the news, and Qualcomm's shares were up 1.8 per cent. The outcome means the case could be tried again in the future - something Arm vowed to pursue in a statement following the verdict. Judge Maryellen Noreika, who presided over the case in U.S. federal court in Delaware, encouraged Arm and Qualcomm to mediate their dispute. "I don't think either side had a clear victory or would have had a clear victory if this case is tried again," Noreika told the parties. After more than nine hours of deliberations over two days, the eight-person jury could not reach a unanimous verdict on the question of whether startup Nuvia breached the terms of its license with Arm. But the jury found that Qualcomm - which purchased Nuvia for $1.4 billion in 2021 - did not breach that license. The jury also found that Qualcomm's chips, created using Nuvia technology and central to Qualcomm's push into the personal computer market, are properly licensed under its own agreement with Arm, clearing the way for Qualcomm to continue selling them. "The jury has vindicated Qualcomm's right to innovate and affirmed that all the Qualcomm products at issue in the case are protected by Qualcomm's contract with Arm," Qualcomm said in a statement. An Arm spokesperson said the company was "disappointed" that the jury was unable to "reach consensus" about the company's claims and said from the outset the goal has been to protect the company's intellectual property. For now, the outcome paves the way for Qualcomm to continue to push what it calls the "AI PC" in laptop chips that are aimed at handling tasks such as chatbots and image generators. That is a market where Nvidia, Advanced Micro Devices and MediaTek are also planning to make Arm-based processors. "My biggest worry was what happens to the future roadmap if they (Qualcomm) no longer have access to Nuvia (computing) cores," Bernstein analyst Stacy Rasgon said. "At this point, that risk is a lot closer to being off the table." The dispute between Arm and Qualcomm centered on what royalty rate Qualcomm should pay for each chip. Nuvia was set to pay higher rates than Qualcomm before Qualcomm bought the startup firm and wove its technology into chips under its own license with Arm at lower royalty rates. Ben Bajarin, chief executive of tech consulting firm Creative Strategies, said that Arm's current growth projections have not depended on reaping higher rates from Qualcomm as Arm chips enter the PC market. "They haven't factored in, via their quarterly (earnings) calls, a win," Bajarin said. "So none of this changes their economic upside. It's really just a matter of contractual argument." However, the trial's outcome leaves open the question of where Arm's technology begins and ends. Arm licenses its computing architecture to firms but also sells designs for computing cores as off-the-shelf products. Some of Arm's more sophisticated customers, such as Apple, Qualcomm and Nuvia, license Arm's architectures but develop their own custom cores. During the trial this week, Arm's attorneys insisted its architecture license terms with Nuvia gave it rights to demand the destruction of Nuvia's custom core designs. "This does have ramifications for the entire industry," Jim McGregor of Tirias Research said in an interview. "Whether you're using a standard Arm core, or developing your own Arm core, it has been the rock of everything from electric toothbrushes to satellites."

It leaves last season's Champions League runner-up without any fit central defenders. Schlotterbeck headed narrowly over the bar in the last action of the game as Dortmund lost 3-2 to Barcelona. He landed heavily and appeared to be in severe pain. The referee blew for full time while Schlotterbeck was being treated and he was later carried off on a stretcher, covering his face with his hands. Coach Nuri Sahin said Schlotterbeck was “obviously in low spirits” after the injury. “I'm waiting for the diagnosis and then we'll see, but I've watched the footage, too, and it doesn't look so good,” he told broadcaster DAZN. Dortmund already had to partner Schlotterbeck with midfielder Emre Can in the center of defense for the game because of injuries to Niklas Süle, who is expected to be out for several months with an ankle injury, and Waldemar Anton, who has not played since Nov. 30 with a reported muscle tear. Dortmund is sixth in the Bundesliga and plays Hoffenheim on Sunday before facing Wolfsburg on Dec. 22 in its last game before the winter break. ___ AP soccer: https://apnews.com/hub/soccer The Associated Press

There is now the so-called "new age of warfare" especially with the use of advanced technologies from each side's top developments, with turning their case into advancements for their AI training. The valuable data Ukraine has collected with its ongoing war with Russia is now being utilized for more than military advancements, but also for its artificial intelligence developments. Many AI-powered technologies have been deployed by both sides in this transcontinental war between Ukraine and Russia, and this includes the likes of target identification software, image scanners, and more. According to the latest report from , Ukraine is now moving towards using the data they gathered from their war against Russia as a valuable source of information for their AI training feats. Ukraine is on the verge of training its AI models with millions of hours of footage from drones, for a better performance on the battlefield, set to soon bolster its defenses and capabilities against Russia. The non-profit Ukrainian organization called OCHI has worked on centralizing and analyzing video feeds from as many as 15,000 drone crews on Ukraine's frontlines, with Oleksandr Dmitriev revealing that they have over 2 million hours of footage since 2022. According to Dmitriev, this valuable trove of drone footage is "food for AI," and they believe that feeding these data to the artificial intelligence could help it improve significantly and more than enemy detection and other usual feats. Apart from giving drones the capabilities to target enemies and detect humans when flying around, artificial intelligence may power them to bring new combat tactics, better detection capabilities, and improvements to their weapon systems. Both Russia and Ukraine have been known for deploying AI-powered drones on the battlefield since their conflict started, and while Moscow first dominated the scene, Kyiv was able to catch up and effectively rival their enemies in space. Advanced technology has shined throughout the ongoing war between Ukraine and Russia as both sides are known for deploying their tech to fight against the other, and it features a massive step above what was previously observed. Russia is best known for its massive advancements on artificial intelligence which was apparent from its previous attacks, including the against their adversaries. That being said, Ukraine had received massive help from various companies hailing from different corners of the globe, offering advanced technologies to bolster the company's defenses and power against the invaders. One of the top companies to offer their tech for Ukraine was the controversial ClearView AI which used its facial recognition tech to help the country during the early moments of their conflict. Russia has been crafty with its massive advancements in its war against Ukraine, but with the help of many allies worldwide, Kyiv was able to retaliate using technology to give Moscow a run for its money. Now, Ukraine is taking advantage of the massive data it collected from the war, and these are dedicated to expanding more of their artificial intelligence, with the valuable data helping improve their models significantly.WASHINGTON: US President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday mocked Canada’s Justin Trudeau as the “governor” of a state, rather than prime minister of the giant US neighbor. “It was a pleasure to have dinner the other night with Governor Justin Trudeau of the Great State of Canada,” posted Trump on his Truth Social platform shortly after midnight. “I look forward to seeing the Governor again soon so that we may continue our in depth talks on Tariffs and Trade, the results of which will be truly spectacular for all!” Trump’s jibe follows reports that he suggested making Canada the 51st US state during discussions with Trudeau in Florida, which followed threats to impose huge trade tariffs when he takes office in January. The report from Fox News said Trump told Trudeau that if Canada could not withstand his threatened 25 percent tariff on all Canadian imports, then it should be absorbed into the United States. Asked about Trump’s post, Canada’s Immigration Minister Marc Miller said “it sounds like we’re living in an episode of South Park.” The comment to journalists in Ottawa was a possible reference to a plotline in the satirical 1999 South Park movie, when the US and Canada go to war, with American characters rallying around a song entitled “Blame Canada.” Canadian Finance Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland was also asked by a reporter if she thought Trump seriously wanted Canada to become part of the US. “That is a question, really, for the president-elect,” she said. Don’t panic Trump has a habit of provocative statements, especially on social media, that can be read as jokes or bluster. During his first term, Trump repeatedly discussed buying Greenland from Denmark. “Why are we subsidizing these countries?” Trump said in a televised interview that aired Sunday, referring to Mexico and Canada. “If we’re going to subsidize them, let them become a state,” he told NBC. Publicly, Trump and Trudeau said their meeting at the president-elect’s Mar-a-Lago estate went well. Trump accuses top US trading partners Canada and Mexico of not doing enough to stop the flow of illegal migrants and drug trafficking. He has threatened tariffs against both neighbors, despite them being part of a trilateral free-trade agreement with the United States. After the Florida dinner, Trump said it was “a very productive meeting,” while Trudeau said he had an “excellent conversation.” In a speech Monday to the chamber of commerce in the eastern Canadian city Halifax, Trudeau said Canada would “respond to unfair tariffs,” as Ottawa did during Trump’s first term when Washington slapped tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum. “We’re still looking at the right ways to respond,” Trudeau told the audience. The premier acknowledged that Trump’s proposed tariffs would be “devastating” for Canada and the risks should be taken seriously, while also urging calm. “One of the most important things for us to do is not to freak out, not to panic,” Trudeau said. — AFP
(TNS) — The Kalamazoo County Consolidated Dispatch Authority is now using an artificial intelligence (AI) system to respond to some calls that come in through a non-emergency line. The calls will now be processed by Ava, the dispatch center’s new virtual assistant. The tech is powered by Aurelian, a Seattle-based software company, the Kalamazoo County dispatch center said in a news release while announcing the AI on Thursday, Dec. 19. Ava is quick to react to requests and respond to questions. It speaks multiple languages, officials said. The AI is “very smart,” the agency said. The company advertises the technology as “ that doesn’t just route callers, but actually solves their needs.” The AI agent is designed specifically for emergency communications centers, including routing calls appropriately and collecting information for public safety resources to be dispatched, the the news release states. The dispatch center encourages callers to provide as much detail as possible to the AI to get the fastest response to non-emergency requests. “We’re trying to free up some of our staff to have more time to deal with emergencies,” Kalamazoo County Dispatch Authority Executive Director Jeffery Troyer said. All calls that require public safety assistance are reviewed and monitored by dispatchers to ensure complete and accurate information is passed on to the correct resource, Kalamazoo County Dispatch Authority said. Several “fail-safes” are in the system, Kalamazoo County Dispatch Authority said. If Ava can’t understand the caller’s needs or determines the call to be an emergency, the call is immediately transferred to a dispatcher to assist, officials said. There are times when the call center is handling a high volume of calls, , he said. The AI will be useful for those times, when dispatchers sometimes cannot get to the non-emergency calls. A call placed to the non-emergency number Thursday afternoon was answered by the AI. The call was promptly forwarded to Troyer after the caller asked for the director. Hear the AI’s voice in the video below as Ava transfers the call: In the past, the transfer would have been handled by a human. The facility handles an average of 260,000 non-emergency calls per year including police, fire and medical incidents. About half of the calls come through the main non-emergency number, 269-488-8911, and the AI will handle those calls, the agency said. ©

More info The unsolved murder of child beauty queen JonBenet Ramsey, which has left detectives stumped for nearly 30 years, could finally be seeing a breakthrough. For ages, suspicion has loomed over JonBenet's family, despite them being cleared by police in 2008 with an apology when DNA evidence indicated an "unknown male" at the crime scene. JonBenet was only six years old when she endured torture, sexual assault, and was murdered on Boxing Day in 1996. Her mother, Patsy Ramsey, discovered a ransom note demanding £94,000 ($118,000) for her daughter's safe return on their Boulder, Colorado mansion's staircase on the morning of December 26. But later that day, JonBenet's lifeless body was found by her father in a disused boiler room in the basement. The case went cold for decades, with the investigation reaching a standstill, but now a Netflix documentary series exploring the enigma has sparked renewed public interest. JonBenet's father, John Ramsey, now 81, is hopeful that the fresh focus from the series, Cold Case: Who Killed JonBenet Ramsey? will bring them closer to securing justice for his daughter, even if it means confronting the bizarre theories that often accompany such attention. John, whose wife Patsy tragically lost her battle with cancer in 2006, was recently left stunned after receiving an anonymous letter from a woman who sensationally alleged that her ex-husband was the person responsible for the death of their young daughter. The cryptic message, which included a phone number, read: "I've kept this inside for as long as I can - please, please call me," However, when John tried to call the number, it went unanswered. In an interview with the Daily Mail, John revealed that he did not feel negatively about the incident, nor did he harbour any anger towards the person who sent the letter, whom he suspected was likely a prankster. Instead, he viewed it as a positive development, as it helped shift the focus away from suspicions that a member of his family was responsible. He said: "You know, the police were doing nothing and had done nothing for 28 years, quite frankly, other than trying to explain away the evidence so they could prosecute Patsy or me." "And they couldn't do it so they thought "oh well, we know who did it, but we can't prove it so we'll just forget about it. I've kept this inside for as long as I can - please, please call me," "I think the documentary has brought a lot of renewed interest and it has kept pressure on the police to do their job." JonBenet's body was found with her mouth covered in duct tape, her hands bound, and a garotte made from cord and a paintbrush from Patsy's art supplies lodged in her neck. Initially, local police were unwilling to accept that an intruder was responsible, instead convincing themselves that JonBenet's parents were to blame. Their speculation was that Patsy may have unintentionally killed her daughter over a bed-wetting incident, or that Burke, then nine years old, could have been responsible due to a sibling dispute, and the couple then staged it as a murder scene. The public was captivated, especially when videos of JonBenet participating in beauty pageants, where she won titles such as Little Miss Colorado and National Miss Tiny Beauty, surfaced. Misinformation given to local and international media, who descended on the affluent suburb in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, only fueled the suspicion surrounding the Ramseys. However, there have now been two significant developments: one of the original detectives on the case, seen by the Ramseys as a "roadblock" in the investigation, has been disciplined and is now retired. A new police chief was brought in, with whom John claims to have a good relationship, and he is pleading with him to use the latest technology to conduct more testing on the unidentified male DNA. John says this method has been successful in cracking many cold cases. Secondly, the FBI is now involved, and they have a profile of the killer, which John says was someone in their 20s or 30s, who was obsessed with movies. He also says the agents believe that the murder wasn't about JonBenet, but possibly someone with a grievance against him.Ana de Armas and Manuel Anido Cuesta put on a united front amid backlash over controversial romance
Article content Alberta aims to cut costs for ratepayers and prioritize affordability with a planned series of changes to the electricity market. Under the changes announced on Tuesday, costs for new transmission infrastructure will be assigned on a cost-causation basis, where those who use the most power pay for any cost increases. Currently, ratepayers pay 100 per cent of the cost to build new transmission lines. The changes will also include moving to a day-ahead model. The new legislation is expected in the spring. In an interview with Postmedia, Affordability and Utilities Minister Nathan Neudorf said transmission costs are roughly equalized throughout the province and distribution is very regional. He added that northern rural Albertans pay three to five times as much as those in metropolitan centres. “It doesn’t matter what project we’re talking about, ratepayers will be the ones saving money,” Neudorf said. “In every scenario, this is an affordability measure for them.” Paying 100% or less Neudorf said while it’s difficult to pinpoint what the average Albertan pays for electricity, the changes mean ratepayers will now be paying “100 per cent or less.” Neudorf said when an area needs to be developed, ratepayers whose power usage increases would pay for the added cost. However, if the needs are already met in a certain area — where a resource like wind is available, for example — those advocating for that resource would bear the cost of upgrading the system. “It’s unfair for ratepayers to have to pay more for something they’re already getting,” Neudorf said. Neudorf said those building way off the grid will have to pay to build transmission lines. Some recently announced data centres will be self-sufficient, with no need to connect to the transmission grid. The proposed changes aim to encourage the building of new power plants in optimal locations and on existing infrastructure. Day-ahead market In the current market, power generators provide a real-time price. The province’s proposed market reforms will include moving to a day-ahead market, where power generators will commit their power 24 hours in advance rather than a couple of hours beforehand. Neudorf said this gives system operators clear information about how much power is available so that the system can respond to power fluctuations with increased reliability and stability, reducing the risk of potential grid alerts. “It also provides a lot more discipline and competition in the bidding behaviours of all of our generators because everybody will see their pricing 24 hours in advance and see their trends,” Neudorf said. “It is where most jurisdictions in North America are going to, so it really helps discipline the price spikes to a more stable pricing, competitive market.” Before the legislation is approved, Neudorf said there are several temporary measures in place, including the market power mitigation legislation passed last spring, which restricted generators from charging high prices. Neudorf said this measure has brought electricity prices down by 39 per cent from their last peak in 2024. ctran@postmedia.com @kccindytran Bookmark our website and support our journalism: Don’t miss the news you need to know — add EdmontonJournal.com and EdmontonSun.com to your bookmarks and sign up for our newsletters .
