The Edinburgh Zoo launched a cuteness contest between Haggis, its newborn pygmy hippo, and Moo Deng, the adorable mini hippopotamus that became a viral sensation at a Thailand zoo this summer. Moo deng is a type of meatball that means “bouncy pork” in Thai. A two-month-old female pygmy hippo named "Moo Deng" at Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Chonburi, Thailand, on Sept. 16, 2024. “We were wrong to pit Haggis and Moo Deng against each other,” the zoo said in a later post. “There is space in this world for two beautiful pygmy hippo divas and we should celebrate them all.”

CNN —Her name is as Scottish as it gets, but little Haggis is a long way from her natural home. The first 30 days of Haggis' life are "critical for her development," according to the zoo. RZSSSo the arrival of one of these endangered creatures at Edinburgh Zoo last month has been met with understandable excitement. “Haggis is doing really well so far and it is amazing to see her personality beginning to shine already,” Jonny Appleyard, hoofstock team leader at Edinburgh Zoo, said in a media statement posted online. Appleyard added: “While Thailand’s Moo Deng has become a viral global icon, it is important to remember that pygmy hippos are incredibly rare.

Recently, after six years away, we returned to Glasgow to visit friends and family. AdvertisementNicole Findlay and her family were pleasantly surprised by how friendly people were in Scotland. In America, when asking about allergy specifics for my son, servers often make a note on their notepad to pass along to kitchen staff. In Scotland, servers asked us if we had allergies before I even had a chance to inquire. While the cigarette butts surprised my son, my husband and I noticed way more people vaping.

Los Angeles eateries will keep serving up combinations of bacon, chicken, egg and blue cheese that are essential to its signature Cobb salads. And Scots can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that Edinburgh has no plans to outlaw haggis. Yet officials from each of these cities want people to consume less dairy and meat. The treaty is not binding and its effect varies wildly, ranging from just messaging to concrete plans to reduce dairy and meat served in institutions and schools and cut down on food waste. But local leaders who championed the treaty said it helped solidify their efforts to encourage plant consumption for both climate and health reasons, while also sending a pressing message.

Wrestling With Identity at the Edinburgh Festival
  + stars: | 2023-08-11 | by ( Houman Barekat | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
Questions of nationhood, identity and belonging loom large in three politically themed productions at this year’s Edinburgh International Festival. The tagline for this year’s edition is “community over chaos,” and there was plenty of both in “Thrown,” a National Theater of Scotland production running at the Traverse Theater through Aug. 27. When Imogen encourages Jo to take a greater interest in racial politics, this puts a strain on Jo and Chantelle’s friendship. Chantelle resents Imogen for boiling everything down to race and vents her frustration at being seen as privileged, simply because she is white. Helen provides moral support to Pam when she reveals her struggles with her gender identity and delivers the play’s defining monologue: a positive message of unity through celebrating difference.

While accuser Haleigh Breest’s lawyers called the verdict just, Haggis insisted that he had been falsely accused and was financially ruined by fighting the civil case. Breest, a publicist, said Haggis raped her and forced her to perform oral sex in his New York apartment on Jan. 31, 2013. Jurors returned to court Monday to hear testimony about Haggis’ finances and decide how much more he’d have to pay. Breest’s lawyers questioned Haggis’ claims of being broke. After the verdict, he said the jury “did the right thing.” Jurors left court without commenting.
CNN —A jury found filmmaker Paul Haggis liable in a sexual assault case that was brought forward by a former publicist who alleged he raped her after a movie premiere in 2013. Attorney Ilann Maazel, who represents Breest, told CNN by phone, “We’re grateful. “They used this to distort the truth, assassinate Mr. Haggis’ character, paint him as a monster, and use a ‘where there’s smoke, there’s fire’ strategy. Breest told him she was willing to go to a public bar, but stated she did not want to go to his apartment. Maazel told CNN that the punitive damage trial will likely continue Monday where he expects Haggis to take the stand.
The jury also decided that additional punitive damages should be awarded, but the amount is to be decided later. Haggis, 69, said the publicist was flirtatious and, while sometimes seeming “conflicted,” initiated kisses and oral sex in an entirely consensual interaction. Jurors sided with Breest, who said she suffered psychological and professional consequences from her encounter with Haggis. Four other women also testified that they experienced forceful, unwelcome passes — and in one case, rape — by Haggis in separate encounters going back to 1996. No witnesses said they knew that Haggis’ accusers or Breest’s lawyers had Scientology ties, and his lawyers acknowledged that Breest herself does not.
Screenwriter and director Paul Haggis leaving civil court Thursday, after a jury ordered him to pay at least $7.5 million to a woman who accused him of rape. A jury in New York ordered Academy Award-winning filmmaker Paul Haggis to pay at least $7.5 million to a woman who accused him of rape, one of several #MeToo-era legal cases that have put Hollywood notables’ behavior on trial. Jurors plan to award additional punitive damages. The civil court trial pitted Mr. Haggis, known for writing best picture Oscar winners “Million Dollar Baby” and “Crash,” against Haleigh Breest , a publicist who met him while working at movie premieres in the early 2010s.
LOS ANGELES — One Hollywood star claimed he was arrested and charged on multiple counts of rape by police and prosecutors who are biased against his church. Another prominent Hollywood figure charged with rape contends he was set up by members of a church he has publicly renounced. In both cases, the church in question is the Church of Scientology. Haggis denied Breest’s rape allegation in a counter-complaint and accused her and her lawyer of trying to extort $9 million from him. “She decided she had to do something.”In the Masterson case, he and his accusers are all current or former members of the Church of Scientology.
LOS ANGELES — A prosecutor described rape allegations by three women Tuesday against “That ’70s Show” actor Danny Masterson from two decades ago that contained some of the same disturbing elements. One of them said he dragged her to his bed where she regained consciousness to find him having sex with her. Superior Court Judge Charlaine F. Olmedo sternly reminded the lawyers that Scientology would not dominate the trial. The Associated Press does not typically name people who say they were victims of sexual abuse unless they come forward publicly. Weinstein’s second rape and sexual assault trial — he’s already been convicted in New York — is happening simultaneously, just down the hall from Masterson’s.
Oscar-winning director Paul Haggis was arrested in Italy on Sunday on charges of sexual assault and aggravated personal injury, police said. Priya Chaudhry, an attorney for Haggis, said the Canadian filmmaker was "totally innocent" and was willing to cooperate with authorities. He is totally innocent, and willing to fully cooperate with the authorities so the truth comes out quickly." The woman who accused Haggis will also be questioned ahead of the trial, Negro said. Haggis denied the original allegation and sued the publicist, Haleigh Breest, accusing her of trying to bankrupt him.

Fiindcă este duminică și afară ninge, este cel mai oportun moment să priviți un film și nu unul oarecare, dar unul bun. Echipa #diez a făcut o selecție a filmelor premiate cu Oscar din anul 2000 încoace. „Gladiatorul” a luat Oscarurile pentru cel mai bun film și actor principal (Russell Crowe), dar „Tigru și dragon” al lui Ang Lee a fost consolat cu premiul pentru cel mai bun film străin. Patru Oscaruri a luat pelicula lui Ron Howard, pentru cel mai bun film, regie, scenariu adaptat și actriță secundară (Jennifer Connelly). Și totuși, Scorsese a pierdut în favoarea lui Eastwood și Oscarul pentru regie, și cel pentru cea mai bună peliculă.
