(Photo Courtesy of Olaf Brewing) HELSINKI (AP) - A small brewery in Finland has launched a NATO-themed beer to mark the Nordic country's bid to join the Western military alliance.Olaf Brewing's OTAN lager features a blue label with a cartoon version of a beer-drinking medieval knight in metal armor emblazoned with NATO's compass symbol.The beer's name is a play on the Finnish expression "Otan olutta," which means "I'll have a beer," and the French abbreviation for NATO, which is "OTAN." The North Atlantic Treaty Organization has two official languages, English and French.CEO Petteri Vanttinen told The Associated Press on Thursday that the craft brewery's ad hoc decision last weekend to start producing the beer was motivated by "worries over the war in Ukraine" and its consequences for Finland.He described the new lager as having "a taste of security, with a hint of freedom."Finland and Sweden on Wednesday submitted an application to join NATO at the alliance's headquarters in Brussels.Olaf Brewing said its new beer also honors the eastern Finnish town of Savonlinna, the brewery's base located a few dozen kilometers from Finland's border with Russia.Savonlinna is known for St.

COVID-19 deaths rise as hospitalizations drop in Manitoba

COVID-19 admitted to hospital fell last week, while deaths linked to the virus rose.The latest numbers came Thursday in the province’s weekly epidemiology update covering May 8-14, a week that saw 728 new cases reported in Manitoba. Patients waiting more than a day to be admitted in Winnipeg hospitals: ‘It’s absolutely terrifying’ With an average of 766 lab-tests for COVID-19 done daily through the week covered by the report, the positivity rate of lab tests was 18.5 per cent, an increase from 17.6 per cent in the previous week.But provincial case counts no longer necessarily give an accurate picture of active infection rates because the government has significantly scaled back testing and doesn’t include the results of tests done at home.Health officials say 149 people were hospitalized as a result of COVID-19, including 16 who needed to be admitted to the ICU.That’s down from the 196 new COVID-19 patients including 13 needing critical care reported the week before.
