The museum will also benefit from a high-profile partnership with New York’s Museum of Modern Art, paying an undisclosed sum for access to MoMA’s permanent collection, plus consultation on gallery design, exhibition planning and installation....

The museum paid him 25,000 kroner, or about $3,900 for the project, in addition to the money that was to be used in the pieces. As reported by The Washington Post, Haaning told a Danish radio show that he realized the project would cost him 25,000 kroner alone....
It caps a career that started in 1950, when the Mississippi-born son of a preacher played on recordings with everyone from B.B. King to Muddy Waters, served as an A&R man for Sun Records and wrote the first rock-and-roll song in history, “Rocket 88” (he was never credited for this 1951 work). With Tina, he formed The Ike and Tina Revue in 1960. They split in 1976, and his downward spiral began....
Let me take you back to one of the first meetings of our group, eight years ago this month—summer 2012. We were about 20 men and women, Israelis and Palestinians, sitting at the Everest Hotel on top of Ras-Beit-Jala near Bethlehem. On a clear day you can step out and see the Mediterranean shining to the west, and the Judea Desert and Mountains of Moab rising beyond the Jordan River, to the east....
Senate appropriators supported a 5 percent increase in defense spending for fiscal 2022 and unveiled plans for an additional $24 billion in military spending on Monday. In total, the defense appropriations bill is $725 billion—$10 billion more than requested by Biden. The announcement came as Biden and Democratic lawmakers worked to compromise on a $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill that would expand social safety programs and infrastructure spending. Congress is projected to spend more than $7 trillion on the Pentagon over the next 10 years, which is more than double the cost of the Build Back Better Act over the same timeframe....
The California Air Resources Board (CARB) voted Thursday to adopt the sweeping plan to shift the fuel source for the nation’s largest auto market. A carveout in the federal Clean Air Act has allowed California to enact increasingly aggressive measures to slash carbon emissions from transportation, which other states have the option of adopting. More than a dozen mostly Democratic-led states have already signaled they’ll follow California’s lead. These states and others have also launched their own plans to put more electric vehicles on the road....
Authored by California State Assembly member Eloise Reyes, the bill (AB-2147) stated: “After receiving valuable training and placing themselves in danger assisting firefighters to defend the life and property of Californians, incarcerated individual hand crew members face difficulty and obstacles in achieving employment due to their past criminal record.” Current law dictates a court can allow a defendant to “withdraw their plea of guilty or plea of nolo contendere and enter a plea of not guilty, after the lapse of one or two years following the defendant’s completion of the sentence,” the bill noted....
Taipei, unlike Beijing, has no official relations with Kyiv; trade and travel ties with Ukraine are technically conducted through Taiwan’s diplomatic office in Moscow, whose work covers Russia and 11 former Soviet republics. The democratic island—the subject of a decades-old territorial claim by China—was quick to side with Ukraine and the West against Russia’s attack in February. It appears to have seen an opportunity to expand its voice in Eastern Europe, with Joseph Wu, Taiwan’s foreign minister, leading the diplomatic charge....
The new poll by NPR, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the Harvard T.H. Chan School—which was published Wednesday—zeroes in on the economic repercussions of the economic fallout from the coronavirus on residents of New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston. In all of the cities, half or more of respondents reported that they were facing serious financial problems, while greater percentages of Black and Latino residents are facing economic hardships, compared with white residents....

They agreed that Laura Bush would be the most effective in getting out the message: condemning the Taliban’s treatment of women. She became the only First Lady to present a presidential radio address and, in doing so, she launched her international debut as a soft-spoken advocate for the administration’s foreign-policy goals. “She’s a natural communicator,” explains Hughes. On Tuesday, the First Lady presented Act II. In Prague, at the tail end of her first solo tour abroad, Mrs....
It is the latest in a spate of infections across the U.S. As of Friday, the USDA has recorded seven cases involving poultry meant for consumption in three states—Delaware, Kentucky and Indiana.

On Thursday, an Arkansas jury found Duggar guilty of downloading and keeping sexual images of children as young as seven years old. He now faces up to 20 years in prison but is still awaiting his sentencing. Duggar’s defense lawyers argued that someone else could have downloaded the images onto his computer. They promised to appeal the ruling. “The expansion of the Internet has led to an explosion in the market for child pornography,” the Department of Justice (DOJ) said in a 2016 report to Congress....
On Saturday, U.S. District Judge Lucy Koh in the Northern District of California issued a temporary restraining order, blocking the U.S. Census Bureau from shortening its previously extended deadline for data collection. ‘Irreparable harm’ Before the coronavirus outbreak, counting for the 2020 census had been expected to conclude by the end of July. In the midst of the pandemic, however, the bureau said it would need more time to gather and process data and pushed the deadline back to October 31, with the public support of President Donald Trump....
Miami or Cleveland? The same choice he faced four years ago is the one facing the four-time NBA MVP now. He became a champion in Miami. He still calls Ohio home. It’s obviously not an easy decision, and the ramifications of what he’s about to say — it’s still unclear when any announcement will be coming, but it’s more than likely sooner than later — will have a massive impact on the Heat and the Cavaliers....
