Luke DePalatis, right, gets a cooling spritz of water from Michael Abel during a rally by striking writers and actors outside Warner Bros. studios Friday, July 14, 2023, in Burbank, Calif. This marks the first day actors formally joined the picket lines, more than two months after screenwriters began striking in their bid to get better pay and working conditions and have clear guidelines around the use of AI in film and television productions. On both coasts, though, there was a buoyant mood in the air as picket lines were reinvigorated by the support of some of the 65,000 actors who comprise SAG-AFTRA (98% of members voted to approve a strike back in June). Yet, look at this — our picket lines are more full than ever and now have another union on strike with us.”SAG and WGA last went on simultaneous strikes more than six decades ago. It’s the fact that Bob Chapek, Bob Iger, David Zaslav are making untold millions in bonuses while writers and actors are going to the Emmys with negative bank accounts.”

Some things were non-negotiable: the baby grand piano, her grandmother’s rocking chair, a pair of Aubusson rugs. These were among the cherished possessions Joan Healy just had to keep when she and her husband Tom moved into a condo half the size of their 5,000-square-foot house. Pieces with strong sentimental value should stay with their downsizing owners, to create a space that “still feels very much like home with things they love,” said Gillies. Here, her floor plans showed that the dining room table or an antique mahogany sideboard had to go. “Endlessly bored” with ubiquitous white decor, Healy was emphatic that the condo should come alive with colour.

The paper drew on satellite imagery of wildfire smoke, air quality records and labour market data in the U.S.One of the things that really surprised me about wildfire smoke is that in the United States, the geography of wildfire smoke is very different from the geography of fires, said Molitor. Shuai Pan, the lead author, had previously looked at the effects of pollution from the transportation sector, but became interested in the consequences of wildfire smoke while doing his doctoral work in the U.S.Epidemiological research suggests exposure to wildfire smoke is associated with increased mortality and certain common respiratory diseases, Pan said. Those numbers would be far higher if the research had drawn on this summer's smoky air, Pan said. In the midst of Canada's record wildfire season this year, Dave Sawyer, an environmental economist at the Climate Institute of Canada, tried to calculate (new window) the health cost of smoke in this country. Sawyer said the economic toll of wildfire smoke is yet another reason to act on climate change.

All for an unsanctioned, pop-up safe site for local drug users, specifically geared to people who inhale rather than inject. The nearest official safe consumption site is in Peterborough, almost 60 kilometres away.

What will happen if there is depressurization on the ISS? In fact, there has been a recent case of depressurization on the ISS in the Russian Soyuz capsule. Still, it did not lead to any catastrophic consequences (except for reputational issues for the Russian space industry). Let’s understand what will happen if another depressurization occurs and how the crew will deal with such an extreme situation. Such a breach in the ISS hull will result in an air leak at a rate of 0.009 kg/s or approximately 40 cubic meters of air per hour.

Hamiltonians looking to play their hand in Las Vegas will now have to look elsewhere for flights to Sin City. Swoop spokesperson Julia Brunet confirmed in an email the airline will be suspending its route between Steeltown and Las Vegas after July 26 and through to Oct. 28.

The Hamilton to Las Vegas route is the only local flight affected by the adjustments, according to the airline. Those affected can request a refund or rebook an alternate WestJet flight out of Toronto.

Theresa Kavanagh — an avid swimmer who frequents Britannia Beach — told CBC Radio's Ottawa Morning on Friday that there are "many, many signs and warnings" about the drop-off created in the sand under the water.

In Paris, CBC can prove that it’s more than just another channel in an overcrowded media landscape. The Games are never merely a sporting event, and the Paris Olympics represent an arena where CBC can champion its case for public funding, silencing critics who question its relevance and necessity. Further, Paris 2024 is poised to revolutionize the traditional Olympic experience—unless security concerns put a damper on the celebrations. Paris 2024 thus marks an inflection point for the CBC. While our athletes will be vying for gold in their respective sports, CBC will be competing to secure its place in the heart of Canadian public life.

Blair, federal minister of emergency preparedness, had earlier said he was expecting a “fairly substantive” request for help from B.C. “For the last 48 hours we’ve been working with Canadian Armed Forces, Parks Canada, Natural Resources Canada, and people from the Canadian Coast Guard,” said Blair. would welcome all additional firefighters and equipment as hot weather and afternoon lightning storms keep fire conditions extreme and strain resources, said BC Wildfire Service spokesman Cliff Chapman. firefighters are currently battling the flames, but many need rest and the arrival of international help will provide that opportunity.

In the absence of targeted de-radicalization programs for terrorism offenders in prisons, experts say Canada can’t ensure they won’t reoffend. “The nature of these offences suggests you have the potential to cause serious harm to many people should you return to your offence cycle and re-offend,” reads the Parole Board of Canada decision. Some other terrorism offenders have been released and reoffended before, in Canada and abroad. Upon entering federal custody, radicalized offenders and convicted terrorists, like all offenders, are assessed to determine risks and needs. The parole board assesses whether the offender should be released, and part of that is determining whether the person is likely to reoffend.
