Rupert Murdoch loses legal battle to wrestle control of his media empireArticle content It’s troubling news that the city of Montreal is preparing to put up the former Empress theatre for sale, warns an architecture and art historian who has studied the landmark and says she’s worried the city is signalling it has given up on its preservation and on its function as a gathering place in Notre-Dame-de-Grâce after years of neglecting it. “I was indeed surprised by the city’s decision to put the cinema up for sale,” said Camille Bédard, who began researching the theatre’s architectural and social relevance for her bachelor’s degree in art history in 2009 and continued her research for a master’s degree in architectural history. She was reacting to a Gazette report Friday revealing that the city, which has owned the Sherbrooke St. W. cinema since 1999, is preparing a call for proposals to sell it for “mixed-use development” that would be at least 20 per cent housing. It will be at least the third call for proposals for the forlorn property in just over a decade. “Following the 2021 call for projects, it seems to me that the city and the borough should have understood how central this building is to the community,” Bédard said, adding that the building shows the ravages of neglect by the city. “I would have hoped that political decision-makers would grasp their responsibility in saving the building. This, in my eyes, would be a political vision supporting projects that animate and mobilize citizens.” Bédard grew up in N.D.G. and recalls the awe of entering the theatre for the first time at the age of four in the early 1990s. By then, it was serving as a repertory cinema called Cinema V. The neo-Egyptian-style theatre, built in 1927, “is really very rare,” Bédard said, adding that the architecture was perhaps inspired by a wave of interest in all things Egyptian following the 1922 archeological discovery of Pharaoh Tutankhamun’s 3,300-year-old tomb. It’s the only historic neo-Egyptian theatre dating from the 1920s in Canada, she said. Moreover, her interviews with people who went to the Empress while it was a “palace” cinema, then a burlesque theatre and still later Cinema V revealed “there is a huge community attachment to this theatre,” Bédard said. The Empress is a fine example of an “atmospheric” theatre of the 1920s, she said, meaning that the ornamentation and architectural elements inside help create the illusion of an outdoor space. That includes the ceiling, which created the effect of a starry night sky. The 1,550-seat theatre was built by Montreal architect Alcide Chaussé, who was an expert on fire prevention. His expertise was valued at the time, given the tragic 1927 fire at the Laurier Palace theatre in which 77 children and adolescents perished. The interior design was handled by Emmanuel Briffa. Before the advent of television, neighbourhood theatres like the Empress “were gathering places,” Bédard said. “Cinemas were places where people met or socialized and spent a lot of time. It was like their second living room.” The community’s attachment to the Empress/Cinema V hasn’t waned since a minor fire in 1992, which served as a pretext for its owner to shut it down and eventually sell to the city, she contends. In fact, successive mayoral candidates since the 1990s have promised to restore the theatre, and every call from the city or the Côte-des-Neiges—N.D.G. borough for public input on its future use has elicited huge response. In the 1990s, a group of citizens spearheaded a project to turn the theatre building into the Empress Cultural Centre. However, nothing came of it. In 2010, another group, led by Élaine Éthier and Mario Fortin, the former CEO of the Beaubien and Parc cinemas, began mounting a project to turn the site into Cinéma N.D.G. The project won the city’s 2012 call for proposals for the Empress. But even that project sputtered out because of a lack of support from the city, says one of the two project leaders. “It was 10 years of my life,” Éthier told The Gazette, adding that her group was caught in a catch-22 with the city. The group assembled 75 per cent of its financing and was working with architects and engineers, she said. But the city wanted them to have 100 per cent of their financing before it would transfer the building to their non-profit. However, they needed to own the building to complete their financing, she said. Then, in the 2017 municipal election, a Projet Montréal team was elected in the borough and the new borough mayor, Sue Montgomery, announced a new call for projects for the Empress. With all the foot-dragging, the city and borough have allowed the Empress to fall into ruin, said Éthier, who has worked in the film industry all her life. For example, the borough and city stopped heating the building sometime after 2012, she contends. “It’s very sad,” Éthier said. “Every time I hear news of the Empress, it breaks my heart.” Politicians only seem to care about the Empress when there’s an election, she said. “We have municipal elections coming next year and suddenly they’re talking about the Empress again,” she said. “We haven’t heard the politicians talk about the Empress since the last election (in 2021). Why is it put back on the table at every election, but in-between we don’t hear anything?” lgyulai@postmedia.com(Photo by Kampus Production via Pexels) By Stephen Beech Employees are suffering "techno-strain" as a result of digital systems making it difficult to switch off from work, warns a new study. Staff are experiencing mental and physical issues due to being "hyperconnected" through digital technology, according to the findings. Researchers from the University of Nottingham’s Schools of Psychology and Medicine conducted detailed interviews with employees from a variety of professions. They found that the cognitive and affective effort associated with constant connectivity and high work pace driven by the digital workplace is detrimental to employee well-being. The study is the final part of a research project exploring the "dark side effects" of digital working which include stress, overload, anxiety and fear of missing out. The results, published in the journal Frontiers in Organisational Psychology , highlight an "overarching" theme of "digital workplace technology intensity" as a result of digital workplace job demands. The research team says their findings indicate a "sense of burden" associated with working digitally which surfaced for most participants in perceptions of overload and feelings of being "overwhelmed" by the proliferation of messages, apps and meetings in the digital workplace. They say "fear of missing out" - or FOMO- on important information and contact with colleagues also contributed to stress and strain for digital workers, as did hassles encountered when using digital technologies. (Photo by Tara Winstead via Pexels) Study leader Elizabeth Marsh said: “Digital workplaces benefit both organizations and employees, for example by enabling collaborative and flexible work. "However, what we have found in our research is that there is a potential dark side to digital working, where employees can feel fatigue and strain due to being overburdened by the demands and intensity of the digital work environment. "A sense of pressure to be constantly connected and keeping up with messages can make it hard to psychologically detach from work." More from this section Fourteen employees were interviewed in detail and asked about their perceptions and experiences of digital workplace job demands and impacts to their health. Comments from interviewees included: “[It’s] just more difficult to leave it behind when it's all online and you can kind of jump on and do work at any time of the day or night.” Another participant said: “You kind of feel like you have to be there all the time. You have to be a little green light,” while another commented: “It's that pressure to respond [...] I've received an e-mail, I've gotta do this quickly because if not, someone might think “What is she doing from home?” In their analysis, the researchers explored potential underlying psychological, technological and organizational factors that may influence ways in which employees experience digital workplace job demands. The findings showed that participants' dark side experiences were particularly shaped by a pervasive and constant state of connectivity in the digital workplace, termed "hyperconnectivity." Those experiences contributed to a sense of pressure to be available and the erosion of work-life boundaries, according to the research team. (Photo by Thirdman via Pexels) They said the evidence also indicates that "hyperconnectivity" has become the norm among workers post-pandemic. PhD student Marsh said: “The findings underline the need for both researchers and professionals to identify, understand and mitigate the digital workplace job demands to protect the well-being of digital workers.” The research also makes practical suggestions for employers including helping workers improve their digital skills and empowering them to manage boundaries in the digital workplace. The team says their findings could also be used by IT departments to consider how to improve the usability and accessibility of the digital workplace, as well as reining in the proliferation of applications. Dr. Alexa Spence, Professor of Psychology, said: “This research extends the Job Demands-Resources literature by clarifying digital workplace job demands including hyperconnectivity and overload." She added: "It also contributes a novel construct of digital workplace technology intensity which adds new insight on the causes of technostress in the digital workplace. "In doing so, it highlights the potential health impacts, both mental and physical, of digital work.”axiebet88 voucher code free 。

Sheltered Venezuelan government opponents decry police and intelligence agents outside embassyRico Carty, who won the 1970 National League batting title when he hit a major league-best .366 for the Atlanta Braves, has died. He was 85. Major League Baseball, the players’ association and the Braves paid tribute to Carty on social media on Sunday. A family friend told Listín Diario — a newspaper in Carty’s native Dominican Republic — that he died Saturday night in an Atlanta hospital. “Carty was one of the first groundbreaking Latino stars in the major leagues, and he established himself as a hero to millions in his native Dominican Republic, his hometown of San Pedro de Macoris, and the city of Atlanta, where he was a beloved fan favorite,” the players' association said in its statement. The Braves said Carty left an indelible mark on the organization. “While his on-field accomplishments will never be forgotten, his unforgettable smile and generous nature will be sorely missed,” the team said in its statement. Carty made his big league debut with the Braves in September 1963. He batted .330 with 22 homers and 88 RBIs in his first full season in 1964, finishing second to Dick Allen in voting for National League Rookie of the Year. The Braves moved from Milwaukee to Atlanta after the 1965 season, and Carty got the franchise's first hit in its new home on April 12, 1966, against Pittsburgh. Carty had his best year in 1970, batting .366 with 25 homers and a career-best 101 RBIs. He started the All-Star Game after he was elected as a write-in candidate, joining Willie Mays and Hank Aaron in the National League outfield. Carty batted .299 with 204 homers and 890 RBIs over 15 years in the majors, also playing for Cleveland, Toronto, Oakland, Texas and the Chicago Cubs. He retired after the 1979 season.Giants release quarterback Daniel Jones just days after benching him EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) — The Daniel Jones era in New York is over. The Giants quarterback was granted his release by the team just days after the franchise said it was benching him in favor of third-stringer Tommy DeVito. New York president John Mara said Jones approached the team about releasing him and the club obliged. Mara added he was “disappointed” at the quick dissolution of a once-promising relationship between Jones and the team. Giants coach Brian Daboll benched Jones in favor of DeVito following a loss to the Panthers in Germany that dropped New York's record to 2-8.

3D CAD Software Global Template Market To Reach $14.24 Billion By 2028 With A Growth Rate Of 6.4%Roy Keane was involved in an angry confrontation with a fan following Manchester United and Ipswich Town's 1-1 draw at Portman Road on Sunday. United legend Keane was on punditry duty with Sky Sports and received abuse from a section of the home fans during analysis of the game. Advertisement Keane is never afraid of an argument, and he made his way over to the fans to respond. Videos, widely circulated on social media, include a lot of unclear shouting but Keane can be heard telling the fan: "I'll wait for you in the car park." A steward then stepped in to diffuse the situation. Keane was Ipswich manager for almost two years before he was dismissed in Januray 2011. The game was Ruben Amorim's first game in charge of United, and it got off to a dream start as Marcus Rashford conberted an Amad Diallo cross after less than two minutes. However, United's play was disjointed as they adjusted to Amorim's playing style. Ipswich grew into the game, and scored a deserved equaliser through Omari Hutchinson just before half-time. In the end, a draw was the fair result and Amorim will have a lot of work to do to turn United's fortunes around. Roy Keane wanted it in the car park 👊🏻🤣 #ipswich #ManU #IPSMU #SuperSunday pic.twitter.com/F3Ua5uX9Bw — Aden Clarke (@adenLFC4life) November 24, 2024
