But she says that when she arrived at Halifax’s IWK Health Center early one morning in July after her water broke, what was supposed to be an exciting experience turned into a traumatic one. MacDonald claims that from the start of her birth experience, she faced neglect and a lack of compassion – at one point she was left in a room for 13 hours as she suffered excruciating pain....

In any case, the protesters were arrested for their actions, and the Last Generation activists who threw mashed potatoes at Monet at a museum in Potsdam, Germany, are reportedly being investigated for property damage and trespassing. On the Last Generation website, the group says it accepts “criminal charges and deprivation of liberty undaunted” for its protests. While some of the historic frames were damaged, the paintings themselves were protected by glass....

A Nigerian social media influencer who called himself Ray Hushpuppi and flaunted a lavish lifestyle backed by laundering millions of dollars was sentenced Monday in Los Angeles to more than 11 years in federal prison. Ramon Abbas, 40, was also ordered by a federal judge to pay $1.7 million in restitution to two fraud victims, according to a statement from the United States Department of Justice. Abbas was “one of the most prolific money launderers in the world,” Don Alway, assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Los Angeles office, said in the statement....

The denial follows dozens of weapons tests by North Korea, including short-range missiles that are potentially nuclear-capable and an intercontinental ballistic missile that could target the US mainland. Pyongyang has said it is testing missiles and artillery so it can “mercilessly” hit key South Korean and US targets if it chooses. North Korea has hosted traditional ally Russia in recent years and even hinted it would send workers to help rebuild Russian-held territory in Ukraine....

Comment Americans have cast more ballots ahead of Election Day than in early voting before the last midterm election, continuing a trend of increasingly relying on early voting despite strong objections from some Republicans. As of Saturday, voters had cast more than 39 million ballots, surpassing the number of early ballots cast in 2018, according to data kept by the US Elections Project. This year’s total will rise because election officials are still accepting mail-in ballots and some states allow in-person early voting on the weekend....

Doug Ford’s government is considering handing over parts of the Greenbelt Conservation Area to developers after repeatedly promising not to. Steve Clark, Ontario’s minister of municipal affairs and housing, announced Friday a 30-day consultation on the idea, which would see development in some Greenbelt areas in exchange for conservation zone development elsewhere. He said this could lead to 50,000 new homes. The Greenbelt is approximately 2 million acres of protected land, established in 2005, in the Greater Toronto and Niagara Regions....

This comes as the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), which represents these workers, said their strike will continue Monday and beyond until an agreement is reached with the Ford government. Up to 55,000 education workers began picketing MPP offices and other government offices and locations across the province today. Education Minister Stephen Lecce told CP24 on Friday that the government made the submission to the labor council a day earlier after the Keeping Students in Class Act was passed....

Percival Mabasa, 63, who went by the name Percy Lapid on his show, was gunned down in a Manila suburb on October 3 as he drove to his studio. Police claimed Monday that Bureau of Corrections Director General Gerald Bantag, who is currently suspended from his duties, was behind the killing along with his deputy security officer Ricardo Zulueta. Officials previously said the alleged gunman, Joel Escorial, surrendered to authorities last month out of fear for his safety after police released images of his face captured on security footage....

Interior Health says it’s trying to support, not undermine, lab assistants with a new program that provides on-the-job training for new health care workers who draw blood. The health authority’s launch of a new ‘laboratory venipuncture’ post came under fire this week from a local trained medical laboratory assistant, who raised concerns that IH was quietly lowering recruitment standards for her profession. While a medical lab assistant requires post-secondary education, the phlebotomist role will only involve on-the-job training....

Malgré l’intervention rapide de 60 sapeurs-pompiers envoyés par le Service départemental d’incendie et de secours des Alpes-Maritimes (Sdis 06), le feu s’est rapidement propagé à une zone escarpée, en pente ascendante, inaccessible. Les secours, à midi, portent à une centaine le nombre de sapeurs-pompiers qui se mobilisent et sont bientôt appuyés par d’importants moyens aériens.

At shallow depths, minerals with similar crystal structures often merge to become individual minerals, usually in a high-temperature environment. Despite the structural similarity, however, existing studies have shown that calcium-rich davemaoite and magnesium-rich bridgmaonite remain distinct throughout the lower mantle. “Why don’t davemaoite and bridgmanite merge into one, despite having very similar atomic-scale structures?” Sang-Heon Dan Shim, co-author of the Nature paper, said in a media statement. “Many attempts have been made to find conditions where these two minerals merge, but the answer from experiments has consistently been two separate minerals....

Microsoft hat an vielen Details gearbeitet und die Touch-Steuerung deutlich verbessert. Foto: Matthias Schüssler Als Windows 11 vor einem Jahr veröffentlicht wurde, tat Microsoft-Experte Paul Thurrott die Windows-Verbesserungen als oberflächlich ab. Die Kritik ist nicht ganz falsch, aber auch nicht ganz richtig: Microsoft adressiert Problembereiche in Windows 10 und 11, die das Team teilweise seit den 1990er Jahren erfolgreich ignoriert hat.
