PARIS—Japan's Palme d'Or winner Hirokazu Kore-eda unveiled his new movie 'Monster' at Cannes on Wednesday, May 17, a heartwarming tale despite its ominous title. Treating issues including bullying and domestic abuse, 'Monster' bears many hallmarks of Kore-eda's tender cinema about tough lives and unconventional families that already won him the top prize in Cannes in 2018 for 'Shoplifters.' 'Monster' begins as a disquieting tale of teacher-pupil harassment with a clear baddie, but judgments are swiftly revised as the film switches points of view.

Amid an escalating global cybercrime bill - now estimated at AUD $12 trillion a year - cybersecurity experts are calling for a new, more transparent, and collective approach to address cyberattacks. While 99% of attempted cyberattacks are thwarted, the 1% that manage to slip through the net are wreaking not only economic damage, but significant reputational, legal, and personal harms. Optus Chair of Cybersecurity and Data Science at the University of South Australia, Associate Professor Mamello Thinyane , says that individuals, companies, and governments must all share the responsibility.

Christopher Taylor's defense attorneys, Ken Ervin (l) and Doug O'Connell, at a press conference in February of 2022 (Photo by Jana Birchum / Design by Zeke Barbaro) Austin Police Department Officer Christopher Taylor 's attorneys signaled weeks ago that they'd ask for his murder trial to be moved out of progressive Travis County.

About The Study: The results of this study of 61,000 mother-child dyads suggest that postnatal selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) treatment was associated with a reduced risk of postnatal depression–associated maternal mental health problems and child externalizing behaviors across early childhood years. These findings suggest that postnatal SSRI treatment may bring benefits in the long term to women with postnatal depression and their offspring. Authors: Chaoyu Liu, M.D., Ph.D., of King's College in London, is the corresponding author.
