Brie Larson to Star in FX Limited Series "Cry Wolf"
Yara Sameh Brie Larson is set to star alongside Olivia Colman in the limited series 'Cry Wolf,' which has officially been greenlit at FX. The show was first reported to be in the works in February with Colman attached in one of the lead roles. Sarah Treem serves as writer, executive producer and showrunner, with both Larson and Colman executive producing in addition to starring. The series is described as psychological family thriller following 'a social worker (Colman) and a mother (Larson) thrust into crisis when the mother's teenage daughter alleges abuse, pushing both women to their limits as they navigate an impossible situation.' 'Cry Wolf' is inspired by the Danish TV series 'Ulven Kommer' created by Maja Jul Larsen. Treem, Colman and Ed Sinclair of South of the River, and Melissa Bernstein of Special Interests brought the project to FX. All are executive producing along with Larsen, Christian Rank, and Claudia Saganario on behalf of DR Sales, the format arm of DR for which the original Danish series was produced. FX Productions is the studio. The role keeps Colman in business with FX, as the highly-celebrated actress has popped up in multiple episodes of the network's hit dramedy 'The Bear.' She also played Miss Havisham in FX's limited series adaptation of 'Great Expectations' in 2023. Her other TV credits include 'The Crown,' 'Fleabag,' 'Broadchurch,' 'The Night Manager,' and 'Heartstopper.' Larson broke out in 2015 with her starring role in the film 'Room,' for which she won an Academy Award, Golden Globe, BAFTA, and numerous other accolades. She has since gone on to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the role of Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel, having appeared in four films as the character to date. Her other credits include 'Short Term 12,' 'Trainwreck,' 'Scott Pilgrim vs. the World,' and 'The Glass Castle.' In television, Larson previously starred in the Showtime series 'United States of Tara' and earned an Emmy and Golden Globe nomination for her role in the Apple TV+ series 'Lessons in Chemistry.' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Israeli-Linked Hadassah Clinic in Moscow Treats Wounded Iranian IRGC Fighters News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Videos & Features Tragedy Overshadows MC Alger Championship Celebration: One Fan Dead, 11 Injured After Stadium Fall Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Arts & Culture South Korean Actress Kang Seo-ha Dies at 31 after Cancer Battle News "Tensions Escalate: Iran Probes Allegations of Indian Tech Collaboration with Israeli Intelligence" News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Arts & Culture Hawass Foundation Launches 1st Course to Teach Ancient Egyptian Language Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream

Melbourne Uni professor sacked over ‘mawkish' romantic messages wins his job back
In 'mawkish' text messages and emails sent between the two in 2017, Matthai discussed intimate details about his personal life. He moved communications from his professional email address to his private email to avoid being seen by 'UoM internet security people'. 'It is our very own private conversation ... and yes, we have the pleasure of getting a glimpse of this together and it is really beautiful reawakening. We share this on a deep intuitive level,' he wrote to the woman. He described their communication as an 'expedition into uncharted territory', saying it was exciting 'more than gambling is', and that a FaceTime with her was a 'moment of bliss'. Matthai sent her a photo of himself in his boxer shorts, saying it was to demonstrate he had an ectomorph body type, to which she responded: 'Can I love you German professor?' He replied: 'You do not need my permission, do you?' He later revealed to an external investigator he'd sent the photo because he had been feeling 'unworthy and abandoned' and needed some 'positive feedback'. Matthai added that the student had sought to strip during a FaceTime conversation, but he stopped her. Matthai wrote to the student, saying they'd both been missing so much in their lives. 'We are like the dry soil soaking up the autumn rain after a long hot summer. It is very beautiful and caresses our souls, but it should not give you pain. You know that I am barely coping with the separation from [omitted],' he said. 'We are like the dry soil soaking up the autumn rain after a long hot summer. It is very beautiful and caresses our souls, but it should not give you pain. You know that I am barely coping with the separation from [omitted],' he said. Colman said Matthai should have ensured all his interactions with the student remained work-related, 'scrupulously avoiding any word or gesture that could have been suggestive of intimacy'. Loading 'Matthai put his own emotional needs before those of [the student]. And he continued to use mawkish, romantic language and to discuss intimate topics. This was highly inappropriate.' Matthai argued that during this time, he was struggling with a difficult break-up, which impacted his judgment. He said he tried to manage the student's expectations after realising she had developed feelings for him. Colman said he did so 'ineptly', especially to a student with English as a second language. On July 3, 2017, Matthai was called into a meeting with the department head, who said the student had made a complaint about him and asked to change her supervisor. Matthai said he was not provided details of the complaint, but agreed to the swap. In 2018, the student told the university's HR department that Matthai did not have appropriate boundaries and that some of his comments made her feel uncomfortable, but she did not want to make a formal complaint as she was worried it could jeopardise her PhD. Years later, in January 2024, the student made a formal complaint about Matthai to HR. Among other things, she alleged Matthai had 'sexually and mentally abused her' for 14 months. The university hired an external investigator, who analysed 141 texts and emails, which included declarations of love by the student for Matthai. Sexual harassment was not part of the investigation, and Matthai denied any abuse. The investigator found Matthai breached the university's workplace behaviour policy by communicating in an intimate, unprofessional, personal and inappropriate way. Matthai told the university he had not been romantically interested in the student but did not want to hurt her feelings. Any suggestion he was pursuing a relationship with her was 'simply wrong', he said. He also argued that communication with the student was out of work hours, but Colman said that didn't matter. 'He agreed that he had acted unprofessionally and said his judgment had been adversely affected by his emotional state at the time,' Colman said. Loading In December 2024, Matthai lost his job without notice. The university's external investigator said his termination was constituted by the 'severity of the conduct, the significant power imbalance' and the fact that Matthai had 'engaged in wilful and deliberate contraventions of the AWB policy, which he had explicitly acknowledged'. But in a decision by the Fair Work Commission this month, Colman said Matthai should get his job back. Colman said Matthai's behaviour in 2017 would have been a valid reason for dismissal due to breach of his contract; however, the complaint was not made until 2024, and Matthai had been the one to provide the investigation with the messages between him and the student. Colman said Matthai was effectively given seven years to prove to the university that his misconduct was isolated. He also said he was confident the behaviour would not reoccur.

Darina Allen: Load up on these classics for your summer picnics
Hooray! July is officially National Picnic Month but why confine it to July? I'm a perennial picnicker, I virtually never leave home without a picnic. My tin box, full of goodies, comes with me on the train, on a plane, up the hills, onto the beach or the cliffs. I've got several picnic baskets, they are best for the beach and fit several small frying pans so I can cook sausages over a little fire. I make a circle of stones on the sand, send the kids off to collect driftwood, scrunch up the sports pages and sizzle the sausages. What could be better after a swim? Colman's mustard, made from the powder, is an obligatory accompaniment for me, and thick slices of fresh soda bread slathered with butter. You'll never be short of friends when you arrive with a picnic! I've got lots of hand-woven willow baskets. Some are relatively new, others are old and wonky but all much loved and full of memories: childhood memories of picnics by the sea on the cliffs near the Metal Man in Tramore. Mummy would always roast a fat cockerel just before we left and bake several loaves of brown soda bread and a spotted dog. Always a pot of raspberry jam. Good bread and jam tastes so nice outdoors. And a cake, an old-fashioned coffee cake, is my favourite. You could, of course, make or bake something exotic for your picnic; though gorgeous, it's definitely not essential. You'll probably have lots of delicious store cupboard staples ready for a spontaneous picnic. I love to have good sardines or mackerel, a tin or two of really good anchovies. The latter will be delicious on thick slices of crisp cucumber (a delicious bite that Rory O'Connell introduced me to), and big juicy red and yellow tomatoes… Make a batch of mayo and divide it in half, add some crushed garlic and chopped parsley to one lot and you've got a delicious aioli or garlic mayo. I usually bring a few hardish-boiled eggs too and a couple of ripe avocados. You'll need some flaky sea salt for the avocados, and I love a little dollop of mayo, a sprinkling of Aleppo pepper and flaky sea salt over the eggs - that simple treatment transforms them into a little gourmet picnic bite. Don't forget a hunk of cheese, or something soft and gooey, and some water biscuits, a bottle of rosé and/or fizz and some elderflower cordial. Depends where you're off to, but one could call to a local shop to pick up a bag or two of ice, bring an ice bucket with you, use it as a container to fill it with picnic goodies on the way and for garbage on the way home. Happy picnicking! Very Best Anchovies on Crisp Cucumber recipe by:Darina Allen Rory O'Connell introduced me to this delicious little bite and so simple to make. They are also great for canapés. Preparation Time 10 mins Total Time 10 mins Course Starter Ingredients 1 crisp Irish new season cucumber 1 tin of the very best anchovies a little lemon thyme, if available Method Slice the cucumber into 2cm thick slices, lay a piece of anchovy on top. A little sprinkling of lemon thyme enhances the magic. The contrast of the crisp texture of the cucumber and briny anchovy makes for a truly WOW bite. Glazed Streaky or Loin of Bacon recipe by:Darina Allen Note: We use loin of bacon off the bone in this recipe Preparation Time 30 mins Cooking Time 1 hours 35 mins Total Time 2 hours 5 mins Course Main Ingredients Cover the bacon in cold water and bring slowly to the boil, if the bacon is very salty there will be a white froth on top of the water, in this case it is preferable to discard this water. It may be necessary to change the water several times depending on how salty the bacon is, finally cover with hot water and simmer until almost cooked, allow 25-30 minutes approx. to the lb. Remove the rind, score the fat into a diamond pattern, and stud with cloves. Blend brown sugar to a thick paste with a little pineapple juice, 3-4 tablespoons approx., be careful not to make it too liquid. Spread this over the bacon. Choose a small low sided gratin dish or roasting pan that barely fits the joint, otherwise the glaze will just burn on the tin. Bake in a fully preheated hot oven 250°C/Gas Mark 9 until the top has caramelised – baste the bacon 3 or 4 times during this time. It will take 10 – 15 minutes approximately to caramelise. Remove to a carving dish. Carve in thin slices lengthwise so each slice includes some of the eye of the loin and streaky bacon. Method Cover the bacon in cold water and bring slowly to the boil, if the bacon is very salty there will be a white froth on top of the water, in this case it is preferable to discard this water.

Classic Coffee Cake (Loaf) recipe by:Darina Allen This is a splendid recipe for an old-fashioned coffee cake – the sort Mummy made – and we still make it regularly. Everyone loves it. Servings 10 Preparation Time 1 hours 5 mins Cooking Time 45 mins Total Time 1 hours 50 mins Course Dessert Ingredients You will need 1 x 20cm square cake tin 225g soft butter 225g caster sugar 4 organic eggs 225g plain white flour, preferably unbleached 1 tsp baking powder scant 2 tbsp Irel or Camp coffee essence For the coffee buttercream: 150g butter 330g icing sugar, sieved 5-6 tsp Irel or Camp coffee essence For the coffee glacé icing: 450g icing sugar scant 2 tbsp Irel or Camp coffee essence about 4 tbsp boiling water To decorate: Caramelised walnuts or just use walnut halves For caramelised walnuts: 100g sugar 50ml cold water 20 walnut halves 225ml hot water Method Preheat the oven to 180°C/Gas Mark 4. Line the base and sides of the tin with greaseproof or silicone paper. Brush the bottom and sides with melted butter and dust lightly with flour. Beat the soft butter with a wooden spoon, add the caster sugar and beat until pale in colour and light in texture. Whisk the eggs. Add to the mixture, bit by bit, whisking well between each addition. Sieve the flour with the baking powder and stir gently into the cake mixture. Finally, add in the coffee essence and mix thoroughly. Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared tin and bake for 40-45 minutes. When the cake is cooked, the centre will be firm and springy, and the edges will have shrunk from the sides of the tins. Leave to rest in the tin for a few minutes before turning out onto a wire rack. Remove the greaseproof paper from the base, then flip over so the top of the cake doesn't get marked by the wire rack. Leave the cake to cool on the wire rack. To make the coffee buttercream: Whisk the butter with the sieved icing sugar and add the coffee essence. Continue to whisk until light and fluffy. When cold, cut the cake in half lengthwise, then cut each half horizontally creating rectangular layers, 4 in total. Sandwich each sponge layer together with half of the coffee butter cream, forming a loaf-shaped cake. Place half of the remaining buttercream into a piping bag, fitted with a medium star-shaped nozzle. Spread the sides and top of the cake thinly with the last of the butter cream and place into the fridge for 10-15 minutes to chill. This technique is called crumb coating. Next make the Coffee Glacé Icing: Sieve the icing sugar and put into a bowl. Add coffee essence and enough boiling water to make it the consistency of a thick cream. To decorate, remove the cake from the fridge. Pour the glacé icing evenly over the top of the cake, gently spreading it down the sides with a palette knife. Allow to set, 30 minutes approx. Decorate with piped rosettes of buttercream and garnish with the caramelized walnuts or walnut halves if preferred. For the carmelised walnuts: Dissolve the sugar in the cold water over a gentle heat. Stir until all the sugar has dissolved, then remove the spoon and continue to simmer until the syrup caramelises to a chestnut colour. Remove from the heat, dip the walnuts into the hot caramel, and coat each one completely using a fork. Remove to a silicone baking mat, or oiled cake tin, and allow to cool. Once all the walnuts have been coated, pour the hot water into the saucepan and continue to cook until the caramel dissolves and the sauce is quite smooth. Reduce until it starts to thicken slightly. Allow to get cold. This sauce can be used for serving with ice cream. Seasonal Journal Exciting News from Tipperary Cashel Blue Cheese, based in Co. Tipperary, have been making farmhouse cheese since 1984, and are now making a new cheese 'Cashel Blue Organic'; made to the same recipe as their flagship classic except for two differences; it is only made seasonally and is aged for longer. This results in a particularly rich and complex cheese. Made in partnership with organic milk producers, the Little Milk Company. They have added a new cheese to their repertoire 'Shepherd's Store' which is a traditional, European style, semi-hard sheep's milk cheese. It is only made between the months of February and September. Creamier in style than Manchego or Pecorino, this is a distinctly Irish traditional farmhouse cheese. The milk is sourced from two local flocks of ewes, which are free to roam and graze outdoors throughout the season.
