Canadians have been engaging less with news on Facebook since Meta’s decision to block journalistic content on some of its platforms. However, this trend was already underway before this measure was taken, and can also be observed internationally. This is one of the highlights of the latest Canadian edition of the Digital News Report. This annual survey is carried out by an international team of researchers and involves data from more than 95,000 news consumers in 47 countries. Overall decline Despite Meta’s actions, nearly three out of four Canadians (73 per cent) said they check the news every day. This…
There has never been an opening ceremony quite like it. For the first time in Olympic Games history, the ceremony took place outside a stadium arena. Despite a rainy and miserable Paris evening, enormous crowds – most who paid no fee to attend – lined the banks of the Seine to witness this outdoor promenade of history, art and sport as 100 boats carrying 10,500 athletes sailed down the river. Designed to showcase the depth of French culture and celebrate the Olympics as a source of human greatness and unity, the ceremony combined the traditional and the irreverent. Paris featured…
The Corkman had just clocked off from an unrelenting shift in Ireland’s 2-0 loss to the defending Olympic champions Belgium in their pool opener in Colombes in the north-west of Paris. With An Taoiseach Simon Harris watching in the stand, the scoreline could have been harsher for Ireland, save for Harte and the defensive effort of his team-mates.Overall, Belgium had 17 shots at goal and were awarded eight penalty corners so to concede only two goals tells a story of the Irish work-rate. And the goals came from players who’re among the best in the world. In the second quarter,…
One-in-five U.S. adults ages 50 and older have never had children, according to Pew Research Center analysis of government data. Not having children is more common among adults in their 50s and 60s than those in their 70s. Today, 23% of adults in their 50s and 22% of those in their 60s have never had children, compared with 15% of those in their 70s. (The data doesn’t go back far enough to allow us to analyze how these figures have changed over time). This chapter looks at how adults ages 50 and older who haven’t had children compare with parents…
Investigation found CSC Holdings Inc. based hiring on gender NEW YORK – The U.S. Department of Labor announced its Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs has entered into a conciliation agreement with a federal provider of cable and telecommunications services to resolve allegations of gender-based hiring discrimination at the company’s Hauppauge facilities.The agreement follows a routine OFCCP compliance evaluation that preliminarily found that, from Jan. 1, 2017, to Dec. 31, 2017, CSC Holdings Inc. discriminated against female job applicants applying for account executive residential positions. OFCCP determined the company’s actions at this location violated Executive Order 11246, which prohibits federal contractors from discriminating in employment…
The Slovak government office told Reuters in a statement on Friday that Prime Minister Robert Fico had discussed the issue with Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal and Fico had proposed “a technical solution in which several states including Slovakia would have to participate.” Slovak and Hungarian officials have criticized Ukraine for halting Lukoil’s supplies, saying the ensuing cutoffs threaten their own energy security. Both countries have called on the European Commission to begin formal talks with Ukraine. Commission spokesperson Olof Gill said on Thursday that the EU executive was still “looking at the facts” and would “make a decision when…
On any clear night, if you gaze skywards long enough, chances are you’ll see a meteor streaking through the sky. Some nights, however, are better than others. At certain times of year, Earth passes through particularly dirty parts of its orbit, ploughing through debris left behind by comets and asteroids. During those times, we see that debris crashing into our atmosphere, and a meteor shower is born. Some meteor showers are better than others. The faster the debris is travelling, or the more debris there is, the more meteors you will see. But generally, these showers are annual events –…
Robert Deacon, 63, of High Eldwick, Bingley, appeared at Bradford Crown Court on July 9 2024 where he was sentenced to a 12-month Community Order with 200 hours of unpaid work.

The offences happened between 30 January 2018 and 8 June 2021, and between 25 June 2023 and 9 April 2024 whilst…
Using radar, a Nasa spacecraft, Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO), has confirmed the existence of caves beneath the lunar surface. Here’s why such geological features will be key for establishing a base on the Moon, and what they can tell us about Earth and our Moon’s shared cosmological origins. Lunar orbiting satellites first spotted pits on the Moon’s surface decades ago. Many of these were thought to be openings that connected to substantial underground tunnels that form through volcanic processes, but only now has this been confirmed through the analysis of radar data. Some of the tunnels thought to exist on…
