Regulator says internet companies and platforms have shown obvious inclination to abuse their dominance. More regulatory crackdowns are in store for China’s tech leviathans after the last-minute mothballing of Ant Group’s stock market flotation. Beijing is said to favor taking baby steps towards beefing up its scrutiny of the nation’s freewheeling e-commerce, online payment and credit and loan-issuing sectors. Alibaba founder Jack Ma’s of criticism of state watchdogs’ “overregulation” at a recent Shanghai forum on the eve of Ant’s IPO apparently galvanized Beijing into tougher action.
Medical experts say a fourth wave of coronavirus has probably begun with a strain imported from Nepal.

As the number of daily COVID-19 cases continues to rise in B.C., Island Health's chief medical health officer is urging residents to avoid travel to the Fraser Valley and the Lower Mainland until the new public health orders are lifted or the number of infections decreases. B.C.'s top health officials announced sweeping new COVID-19 restrictions for the Vancouver Coastal Health and Fraser Health regions for a two-week period starting Saturday, as cases in the province continued to surge. Dr. Richard Stanwick, chief medical health officer for Island Health, recommends people on the Island stay away from Vancouver unless it is essential, as contact tracing evidence shows that some people who have travelled to the Lower Mainland have come back exposed to COVID-19.

Nearly two years ago, friends purchased me a copy of Jordan Peterson’s best-selling book 12 Rules for Life. I started the book shortly after receiving it, but somewhere along the way I got sidetracked and didn’t finish. (This never used to happen to me, but raising three kids has altered my reading habits.) With Peterson’s recent return to the public scene, I decided to return to the work. I’m currently reading Rule #12 (“Pet a Cat When You Encounter One on the Street”), and plan to review the work eventually. But before tackling the entire book, it seemed appropriate to share the most important rule in Peterson’s seminal work, which has sold more than 3 million copies worldwide. Take responsibility for your life.

The general quarantine measures and the increase in infection numbers in Greece have forced the monastic republic to return to the security measures that were in place in March and April. The Sacred Community’s new measures stipulate that only permanent employees working in the monasteries and kellias (engineers, legal advisers, accountants, etc.), self-employed specialists working under contract on the Holy Mountain, and people who own shops on the Mountain are allowed to visit until the quarantine is lifted. The closure is currently in effect until November 30.
The Moscow Diocese of the Russian Orthodox Church has 20 specially trained priests who are available around the clock to go visit coronavirus patients in the hospital. This special ministry was recently discussed at the 14th Assembly of the Russian World, which generally discussed online religious social projects in the context of the coronavirus pandemic and self-isolation, reports the Russian Church’s Department for Church Charity and Social Work.
