Nous savons depuis longtemps (c’est-à-dire Galileo) qu’1 kg de plomb tombe aussi vite qu’1 kg de plume – si aucune force autre que la gravité n’est appliquée, par exemple le frottement de l’air, ce que vous obtenez dans le vide. Cependant, entre 2016 et 2018, un satellite, Microscope, en orbite à 710 kilomètres d’altitude, a testé cette certitude de quatre cents ans en répétant des expériences de chute de corps....
A total of seven banks have been frozen since Wednesday in Lebanon, where commercial banks have locked most depositors out of their savings since a financial crisis hit three years ago, leaving much of the population unable to pay for the basics. On Friday morning, an armed man identified as Abed Soubra entered BLOM Bank in the capital’s Tariq Jdideh district and demanded his deposit, the bank told Reuters. He was still locked in the branch hours later, telling Reuters by phone that he had handed over his gun to security forces and just wanted his money....

La grève sera en vigueur du lundi au vendredi à partir de 18h30. à 7 h, a indiqué mercredi le Syndicat de professionnelles et professionnels du gouvernement du Québec (SPGQ), dont les membres sont sans convention collective depuis le 1er avril 2020. Malgré la grève, les réunions de conciliation se poursuivront, selon le syndicat, qui regrette le refus de l’employeur d’améliorer son offre salariale, une augmentation annuelle de 2 % pendant trois ans, 2020, 2021 et 2022....
Deux événements sont annoncés, le 22 septembre pour la défense du système de santé, le 29 septembre pour les salaires. Est-ce le début d’un automne tumultueux ? Quand Emmanuel Macron dit vouloir allonger le temps de travail en réformant le système des retraites, quand Élisabeth Borne annonce une hausse des prix du gaz et de l’électricité, je me demande s’ils ne jouent pas à enflammer le climat social. Ils se promènent avec un bidon d’essence et un briquet....
The Ipsos poll, conducted exclusively for Global News just days after Queen Elizabeth II’s death, found that support for a referendum on the future of the monarchy has increased since last year, from 53 percent in 2021 to 58 percent today. “(Canadians) want to have their say,” said Darrell Bricker, CEO of Ipsos Public Affairs. Whether support for a vote on the issue continues to grow will likely depend on “the performance of King Charles III and how people feel about him after we come out of this period of mourning” for the Queen, he added Bricker....
Conservatives blasted D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser after she complained Thursday that her city doesn’t have the infrastructure to accommodate the illegal immigrants who descended on Vice President Kamala Harris’ residence Wednesday. Bowser claimed that D.C. “is not a border city” and is not equipped to handle an influx of immigrants like “Texas” should be able to, she speculated. Critics on social media blasted her for implying that it was the border cities’ job to handle the border crisis, not hers....
The children died by drowning early Monday and their deaths are considered homicides, the New York City Office of the Chief Medical Examiner said. Relatives called police after Merdy allegedly told them “the babies are gone” and “the kids are gone.” When questioned by detectives, Merdy told them she had been “dreaming of walking the kids in the water,” according to the law enforcement official. Merdy was processed Wednesday and remains in a hospital for further psychological evaluation, the official said....
The American space agency NASA shared on Sunday an impressive image of the largest planet of our solar system, Jupiter. Via Instagram, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration announced that the Juno spacecraft took the photo when it completed its 43rd flyby of Jupiter over the planet’s North Pole in July 2022. “The JunoCam instrument captured the spectacular view of vortices — hurricane-like spiral wind patterns — near Jupiter’s north pole,” the space agency said....
The force of the water blew some houses off their foundations and a house in Nome floated down a river until it was caught on a bridge. The storm is what remains of Hurricane Merbok, a storm that is also affecting weather patterns as far away as California, where strong winds and a rare late-summer storm were expected. In Alaska, there were no reports of injuries or deaths from the storm, said Jeremy Zidek, a spokesman for the Alaska Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management....
« Nous sommes entrés en jeu très tard, comme si nous étions impressionnés par ce match de Ligue des champions à domicile. a déploré l’entraîneur marseillais Igor Tudor en conférence de presse d’après-match. Nous avons été trop lents à construire et n’avons pas fait de différence en amont. En termes de jeu, ce n’est pas notre meilleur match.” Pour la première fois cette saison, l’entraîneur croate avait décidé de faire confiance au duo Gerson-Payet pour ravitailler Alexis Sanchez, mais ce choix s’est avéré complètement faux....

“Last week, Canada lost the only sovereign most of us have ever known,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told the House of Commons. “It is important that we take these moments, here in Parliament and across the country, to recognize the service and leadership that he provided.” “When someone lives to be 96, that shouldn’t be a surprise. And yet, this sudden absence has hit us all tangibly and deeply. “Her majesty was everywhere — on coins, her portrait hanging in Parliament and post offices, her televised Christmas address, a comfortable ritual in homes from coast to coast....
In February 2002, Hopkins was 36 years old and already had a long criminal record fueled by addiction to heroin and cocaine. He pleaded with the judge to sentence him to three years in prison. Hopkins said he knew the system, he knew the law and he knew an “unfortunate, stinking 27 months” wasn’t enough to get him the programs he needed to deal with the fact that he was “very angry at the world....

Sept 18 (Reuters) – The Russian military, seeking contract soldiers for what it calls a “special military operation” in Ukraine, is using mobile recruitment trucks to attract volunteers, offering nearly $3,000 a month as an incentive. A special unit placed one such truck in a central park in the southern Russian city of Rostov on Saturday and removed the sides to reveal a mobile office. Soldiers in camouflage and black masks pointed their weapons at interested passers-by and handed out color leaflets entitled ‘Contractual service – a real man’s choice’....
Only about 30 people remain, living in underground and dilapidated buildings in this small village southeast of Ukraine’s second-largest city, Kharkiv, according to resident Anatolii Klyzhen. About 1,000 lived here when Russian troops crossed the border in February, capturing the village shortly after. These forces left Krakow around 9 September as Ukrainian troops launched a lightning counterattack. This blitz could be a turning point, setting the stage for further gains in the east and elsewhere – but it could also trigger a violent response from Moscow, leading to a new and dangerous escalation of the war....
Photo: The Canadian Press/HO-Canadian Medical Association Dr. Katharine Smart, former president of the Canadian Medical Association, calls for a national licensing pathway for doctors. As Canadian health care systems buckle under the weight of physician shortages, the past president of the Canadian Medical Association is calling for a national licensing pathway for doctors — and some provinces are on board. The current system, in which each province has its own licensing system, is confusing and bureaucratically cumbersome, particularly for doctors trained outside Canada, said Dr....
