Ontario, a major production hub for studios and streamers, has set its sights on new climate control technologies to electrify, decarbonize and reduce waste on local film sets. And accelerating that industrywide push for real change to reduce Hollywood’s local carbon footprint as it shoots across the province is the job of Ontario Film Commissioner Justin Cutler. As part of Ontario Creates, he and his team market the province to American and other foreign producers as part of a growing global locations business. That’s no easy feat, since coming to grips with environmental destruction is overwhelming and anxiety-inducing for most…

EUGENE, Ore. — A week that began with coaches Mike Gundy and Dan Lanning trading barbs about each program’s budget ended with Oregon handing Oklahoma State a 69-3 loss — the worst of the Gundy era and the worst the program has seen since 1907.”It never requires extra motivation for an opportunity to go out and kick ass,” Lanning said postgame regarding the message he sent his team. “But it never hurts when somebody pours gasoline on the fire.”On Monday while speaking on his radio show, Gundy said Oregon is “paying a lot of money for their team,” citing $40…

Other unions have also raised concerns.The legislation would be a major shake-up of workers’ rights, which would include protection against unfair dismissal, and a ban on “exploitative” zero-hours contracts.The warnings come as a senior Labour…

Today, Porsche debuted a new 911 variant at the IAA Mobility show in Munich, Germany. It’s the most powerful 911 to date, excluding some limited-run models, and may well be the quickest to 60 mph from a standing start, dispatching that dash in just 2.4 seconds. And it’s all thanks to one of the most interesting hybrid powertrains on sale today. Rather than just bolting an electric motor to an existing 911, Porsche designed an entirely new 3.6 L flat-six engine, taking the opportunity to ditch the belt drive and move some of the ancillaries, which can instead be powered…

J Studios/Getty Images/Digital Vision By age 40, more than half of Americans have high blood pressure, but many are unaware of it. Hypertension has long been known as the silent killer. When it’s left untreated it can be deadly. And it’s considered a silent threat since most people have no symptoms. You can’t feel the pressure in your blood vessels increasing. New recommendations from the American Heart Association aim for early treatment, including lifestyle changes and medications, once systolic blood pressure rises above 130/80 mm Hg, (which stands for millimeters of mercury, a measure of pressure). Experts say it’s clear…

James Vanderbilt’s “Nuremberg” may be set nearly 80 years ago, but the filmmakers and cast believe its message resonates as much today as it did in the aftermath of World War II. The courtroom thriller dramatizes the first international tribunal against surviving Nazi leaders, probing not only their crimes but also the nature of evil itself. The ensemble features Oscar winner Rami Malek as Army psychiatrist Douglas Kelley, tasked with evaluating Nazi war criminals; Russell Crowe as Hermann Göring, Hitler’s second-in-command; John Slattery as a U.S. officer; Richard E. Grant as one of the tribunal judges; and Michael Shannon as…

For years, there was one golden rule for travelers heading to Japan: get the Japan Rail Pass. It was a no-brainer, a budget-savvy hack shared across travel blogs and guidebooks alike. After all, the price for unlimited, nationwide travel on JR trains was roughly the same as a roundtrip ticket between Tokyo and Osaka, so just about any tourist venturing beyond the capital could save money. But that once-reliable advice is now outdated. In 2023, JR raised the price of the pass by about 70 percent. While they added some perks, including discounts at shops and tourist attractions, the new…
