So to fans of Karen Cushman’s Newbery Honor-winning historical novel Catherine Called Birdy, it may seem strange that writer-director Lena Dunham changed the book’s ending for the screen in favor of something more modern. It might be even more surprising to say that this time, the changed ending actually improves the plot. Sometimes, books aren’t cinematic enough to play well on screen, and Dunham and her team understand that, so they updated Cushman’s story to make it more cohesive and compelling as a movie....

A Chatham neurologist has had his medical license suspended after pleading guilty to assaulting his wife and making threats against his family. Dr. Awad Mortada had his license suspended for eight months at a disciplinary hearing by the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario in Toronto on Friday after the College’s lawyers and Dr. Mortada presented agreed statements of facts. The Court found that Dr. Mortada committed an act of professional misconduct that panel members found to be disgraceful, dishonorable or unprofessional, adding that the offenses are “relevant to his fitness to practice [medicine]....

Kurz vor dem einjährigen Jubiläum von Windows 11 rollt Microsoft das erste große Update für sein neuestes Betriebssystem aus. Statt der Build-Nummer 22H2, wobei 22 für das Jahr und H2 für die zweite Jahreshälfte steht, verwendet Microsoft im Release-Blogbeitrag einfach die Bezeichnung „2022 Update“.

Nach Gerichtsangaben war der Insasse in Vorbereitung auf seine geplante Entlassung am 13. September in die offenen Justizvollzugsanstalten verlegt worden. Etwa fünf Wochen später wäre er normalerweise entlassen worden. Der 41-Jährige verbüßte eine Freiheitsstrafe von zwei Jahren und neun Monaten wegen Drogenhandels, Erpressung und Waffenbesitzes. Er soll auch Verbindungen zur organisierten Kriminalität gehabt haben, wie Krek am Mittwoch einräumte. Das Fehlen des Flüchtlings wurde zunächst nicht bemerkt Während der Untersuchungshaft des 41-Jährigen gab es nach Angaben des Senators Hinweise darauf, dass der Mann auch Verbindungen zum Salafismus oder zum radikalen Islam haben könnte....

Sergei Markov made several unsubstantiated claims – including that Western countries are using Ukrainian soldiers “as slaves” – before hanging up on the hotline during his interview. He threatened the West with nuclear war before being asked questions on the BBC’s Today show on Wednesday morning. “Good morning,” said the presenter, to which the former Putin adviser replied: “Good morning. Well, it’s not a good morning… for everyone.” He continued: “For Western countries, for you British listeners, I would say that Vladimir Putin has told us that he would be prepared to use nuclear weapons against Western countries, including nuclear weapons against Great Britain....

He blamed people posting videos and comments on social media for distorting the facts and stoking tensions. Sir Peter said: “I’ve seen a wide variety of social media that is very, very, very distorting now and some of it is just outright lying about what had happened between different communities.” He continued: “I have spoken to many community leaders and they are doing everything they can to bring Leicester back to normality because in Leicester, very good relations between people of different faiths are normal....

Now, officials are beginning to account for the damage caused to the area. Nova Scotia, where Fiona first made landfall in the early hours of Saturday, was hit hard by the storm. Strong winds toppled trees and power lines, washed out roads, littered neighborhoods with debris and in several cases snapped entire power poles in half, officials said. Officials are prioritizing power restoration after Fiona destroyed power lines and communications networks across the province, Premier Tim Houston said Sunday morning....

The Foreign Office said Britain’s policy on those held in Syria remained unchanged and that it considered requests for help “on a case-by-case basis”, but campaigners said it was an important first step. Reprieve, a human rights group that has been following the case, said the woman was “trafficked, taken to Syria by a male relative when she was a young woman” and that “she and her child have suffered extreme trauma”....

M. Legault a invité M. Dubé à le rencontrer après l’élection pour en discuter. Cependant, il n’a pas voulu s’engager dans la cérémonie prévue le 28 septembre pour marquer le deuxième anniversaire de la mort de Mme Echaquan, affirmant qu’il ne voulait pas être une distraction. Mais comment expliquer que M. Lego se soit à nouveau impliqué dans une telle situation ? C’est une affaire délicate, moi, je suis un gars plutôt direct et parfois ça peut être mal interprété, a-t-il expliqué aux journalistes....

In a sweeping rejection of Donald Trump’s legal arguments, a federal appeals court on Wednesday allowed the US Justice Department to resume using classified records seized from the former president’s Florida estate as part of his ongoing criminal investigation. The decision by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit amounts to a landslide victory for the Justice Department, clearing the way for investigators to continue examining the documents as they consider whether to pursue criminal charges over the storage of top-secret files in Mar -a-Lago after Trump left the White House....

The letter, dated February 25, just a day after Vladimir Putin’s forces launched their offensive in Ukraine, noted the “dangerous juncture” of the moment before launching into a list of demands: more drilling on US public lands. speeding up approval of proposed natural gas export terminals; and pressuring the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, an independent agency, to green-light pending natural gas pipelines. By the winter of 2022, there should be “virtual transatlantic natural gas pipelines” flowing from the US to Europe, the authors envisioned....

Born in Lancashire, she says her connection to the north-east of England, where she was also a police and crime commissioner (PCC) for Northumbria, was because she “fell in love with a guy who lived in the north-east” – her first husband David Taylor-Gooby. They divorced and she remarried, although her second husband, Robert Baird, died a year later from complications following open-heart surgery. As a young lawyer in the 1970s, she gained a reputation as an activist, even donating her fees to support the fight by locals in the Northumberland country park of Druridge Bay against nuclear waste disposal, as well as representing political protesters on Greenham Common....

As the sounds of the Scottish dirge, “Sleep, Dearie, Sleep,” faded into the silence of Westminster Abbey, it finally dawned on me that Queen Elizabeth II was truly gone. The Queen loved bagpipes so much that a bagpiper played under her window for 15 minutes every morning, so those notes fading into the ether had a sense of finality, in a grand, show-stopping way. Monday’s state funeral was full of such moments as Britain bid farewell to its longest-serving monarch with all the pomp for which the nation is known....

Bildungslandesrat Christoph Wiederkehr (NEOS) fordert von Bildungsminister Martin Polaschek (ÖVP) ein „Integrationspaket“ mit zusätzlichen Mitteln für Flüchtlingskinder. Vor einigen Wochen hatte der Minister weitere Mittel zugesagt. 21.09.2022 08.11 Ab heute, 8.11 Uhr online „Leider ist nichts passiert – im Gegenteil“, kritisierte der stellvertretende Bürgermeister in einer Mittwochssendung. Beispielsweise wurden die CoV-Supportzeiten reduziert. Von den rund 11.000 ukrainischen Kindern und Jugendlichen im österreichischen Schulwesen besuchen derzeit rund 3.650 die Schule in Wien....

Russlands Präsident Putin verstoße gegen UN- und Völkerrecht, sagt Außenminister Baerbock in Daily Matters. Dem muss sich die internationale Gemeinschaft entschieden entgegenstellen. Außenministerin Annalena Baerbock hat die „Volksabstimmungen“ über den Anschluss von vier ukrainischen Regionen an Russland erneut scharf kritisiert. Die Weltgemeinschaft werde deutlich machen, dass man eine sogenannte „gun-to-head“-Abstimmung niemals akzeptieren könne, sagte er gegenüber daily affairs. Es war eine Verhöhnung des ukrainischen Volkes und der Vereinten Nationen, dass der russische Präsident dieses Zeichen zur Eröffnung der Generalversammlung setzte....

Casinos based on faith finances that will bet the bank. The biggest tax giveaway – mostly to the rich – in 50 years, while increasing government borrowing to record levels. It was the time when Labor took it by the throat for uncosted public borrowing. This is now last month. All you have to do now is believe and everything will be fine. It’s the new economic data for Brexit in Britain....

The pound fell to a 37-year low after the chancellor unveiled the biggest batch of tax cuts in half a century in a mini-budget branded unsustainable by fiscal experts. In a scathing assessment, the Institute for Fiscal Studies said Kwasi Kwarteng was “betting the house” by putting public debt on an “unsustainable upward trajectory” and “without even a semblance of trying to add up the public finance numbers”. Critics attacked it as benefiting only the rich and big business, Mr Kwarteng’s plan, aimed at raising falling living standards by boosting growth, includes more than £70bn of extra borrowing....

A few hours ago tennis great Roger Federer set to play his final match at the 2022 Laver Cup, a match between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Diego Schwarzman was called off on Friday after a British protester stormed the pitch and set his hand on fire to protest the use of private jets. A man wearing a T-shirt that read ‘End UK Private Jets’ ran up Center Court at the O2 Arena in London where he proceeded to light his hand on fire....
