I have visited friends in our hospital over the past few weeks and am appalled at the abuse of the once pristine grass verges on the lawn edges, mainly in the area in front of the main entrance, but elsewhere on the grounds. People have been parking on the soft grass instead of using the parking area. The grass and ground is soft because of the amount of rain we have had. The hospital has been there for many years now, and I have never seen abuse like this of a public amenity. Some lazy sods are either scared of getting wet if it is raining, or are just plain too lazy to walk a little distance — be it a couple of hundred yards.

AFP A panel of AI-enabled humanoid robots told a United Nations summit on Friday that they could eventually run the world better than humans. But the social robots said they felt humans should proceed with caution when embracing the rapidly-developing potential of artificial intelligence. And they admitted that they cannot — yet — get a proper grip on human emotions. Some of the most advanced humanoid robots were at the UN's two-day AI for Good Global Summit in Geneva. They joined around 3,000 experts in the field to try to harness the power of AI — and channel it into being used to solve some of the world's most pressing problems, such as climate change, hunger and social care.

The blood-brain barrier, the body's way of shielding sensitive brain tissue from viruses, toxins and other harmful substances in the blood, can pose a problem for physicians caring for patients with suspected brain diseases such as cancer. Molecular and genetic information would be invaluable for confirming a diagnosis and guiding treatment decisions, but such molecules are normally confined to the brain by the barrier. Neurosurgeons routinely perform surgical brain biopsies to obtain this data on brain tumors, but such procedures carry risks and are not feasible for all tumors or for many other kinds of brain diseases.

MANILA, Philippines-Kaya-Iloilo moved within a victory of clinching the Philippines Football League (PFL) title following a 5-1 drubbing of tailender Maharlika-Manila on Saturday at PFF National Training Centre in Carmona, Cavite. A four-goal romp in the first half was all Kaya needed to secure the full three points with a game to spare in the league season. The club's best chance to finally lift its first-ever league crown is tentatively on May 27 against Stallion-Laguna. But the championship can also be handed to Kaya on Sunday if second-running Dynamic Herb Cebu suffers a slip-up against visiting Stallion-Laguna with a draw or a defeat at its home pitch in Talisay City.
