Others might call it prescient. Several of those works now feature in the deeply intimate Cartier Foundation show “Land 250” (through June 22), Smith’s first Euro pean art exhibition. The show is dominat ed by some 200 black-and-white photo graphs that Smith took with the vintage Polaroid Land 250 camera that never leaves her side. But it also includes sketch es, artifacts, installations, video footage and documentaries chronicling her career as performer, painter, photographer and poet from 1967 to 2007, luring viewers into her fascinating inner universe....

The report, “Singled Out: Islamophobia in the Classroom and the Impact of Discrimination on Muslim Students,” published Wednesday, collects the results of an annual survey of Muslim students across California. Conducted by the state’s chapter of Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-CA), the survey asked approximately 1,500 Muslim students between the ages of 11 and 18 enrolled in both public and private schools about their experiences in the classroom and in interactions with their classmates and teachers....

Long leather gloves. “They look so chic, and they’re a great way to stretch out your autumn outerwear [into winter],” says Krentcil. Check out Marc Jacobs and Prada, which first popularized them. Wide-leg jeans. The reign of tight, low-rider jeans is finally over. Look for denim that rides higher and has more room in the leg. And wear them with a heel. “A little elevation goes a long way,” says Krentcil....

My eldest sibling also passed away recently, and although I heard about this funeral, I was unable to get there due to the distance and COVID-19. I viewed the video of the funeral and amazingly I was not mentioned…either as someone who was unable to attend, or even just another sibling. I feel they are deliberately isolating me. For example, one of my brothers comes to my town several times a month, but never texts or calls to say they will be in town....

A full moon hung in the sky this morning just before dawn when I got up. How long has it been since my father saw the moon? His bed faces a window, but with every year his eyes seem to withdraw more. I don’t really know what he sees. The skies in California have been flat and blue for so long now–these rainless months leaving the terrain he loved cracked and parched....

After pediatricians visits, hot baths and analgesics failed to erase the limp, we entered a limbo of diagnostic tests. It was the inspired hunch of the director of rheumatology at our local children’s hospital that ended our anxious uncertainty with a mystery we could name: Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva, FOP for short, a rare genetic disorder that replaces muscle and connective tissue with bone. One night after the diagnosis, my husband, Walt, and I sat on the living-room couch, reading chilling scientific studies that spared no detail....

Their skepticism is well founded. My drug addiction perverted every value I hold dear, and truthfulness was the first to be abandoned. But becoming a habitual liar was only the beginning. As a gay man I worked tirelessly through the 1980s directing AIDS agencies and advocating HIV education. Despair was a daily companion, and I witnessed the death of friends in manners too gruesome to be described. When I became HIV positive during those early years, every loss of a friend, every visit to intensive care, was like watching my own morbid future....

At issue, that mysterious slogan. BUAIDH NO BAS. I’m pretty sure the tattooer didn’t misspell it, nor is it something now deemed politically incorrect, like old Celtic for “chick magnet,” as one friend suggested. In truth, the words carry more of a “Braveheart” quality to them, the rough translation being “Victory or death.” But as a nonpracticing Scotsman, ethnic pride is new ground for me. Up until now I’ve been one of those “group hug” sorts of guys, softly reciting the words to “Imagine” while wondering, like Rodney King, why we all can’t just get along....

All these fears turned out to be unfounded. I discovered with great surprise—and even greater relief—that as a mature man, I could tap into my accumulated reservoir of life experiences and skills to help me be an effective father of two thriving children. For me, fatherhood is better late than younger. The best thing I did in my youth was to avoid having kids. I hitchhiked around the country for years, lived on a commune, worked in presidential politics and on Capitol Hill....

In a letter by Myanmar’s Foreign Minister Wunna Maung Lwin to U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, obtained by the AP, Lwin wrote that Tun “has been terminated on Feb. 27, 2021, due to abuses of his assigned duty and mandate.” In a separate letter, the foreign minister said he appointed former military member Aung Thurein as the country’s U.N. ambassador. The military previously failed in getting rid of Tun, who issued a speech to the General Assembly weeks after the military’s takeover to denounce the coup....

Fifteen years later, he is a member of a Burmese community in the U.S. that would welcome a similar cloak of protection for their homeland as it faces another onslaught from the armed forces. Deposed leader Aung San Suu Kyi appeared in court in the capital Naypyidaw this week—highlighting the grip the military still has on this land, just as it did when Thang left his village Aive in 2006....

The Pacers rookie met LeBron James at the rim Monday night and came out on top. James barreled down the lane looking to throw down one of his signature one-handed slams late in the fourth quarter, but Turner pinned the dunk attempt against the glass. MORE: Six D-League prospects who can help your team You don’t see that every day. Turner’s rejection is even more impressive in slow motion....

The group, commonly known as the Dumbo octopuses, are found around the world in deep-ocean habitats, thousands of feet below the surface, where they are rarely seen by humans. Michael Vecchione, a cephalopod expert with the NOAA National Systematics Laboratory at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C., told Newsweek here are different interpretations of what constitutes a dumbo octopus. Understanding exactly what they are is tricky....

The two Trump supporters made their comments during an interview on Bannon’s War Room, a show on Real America’s Voice, a right-leaning media network. “Watch Chris Hayes or Rachel Maddow,” Bannon told his audience. “They get better coverage every day,” “Way better than Fox,” Lindell laughed. “They’re blowing us off and they hate you in the audience, but they’re still doing real coverage,” Bannon said of MSNBC. Twitter commenters expressed surprise at the two right-wing commentators recommending a left-leaning news network....

His passing was announced on Twitter by fellow Poker Hall of Fame member Linda Johnson, who said Sexton had died of prostate cancer. “Mike Sexton passed away peacefully at home earlier today surrounded by family members,” Johnson wrote as she announced Sexton’s death. “He appreciated all the wonderful comments and farewells from poker players all over the world. Service details are forthcoming. For now, please keep his family in your thoughts as they grieve....

The Islanders are 80 percent of the way through a five-game, 10-day road trip. During intermission of their game against the Kings on Thursday, MSG+ asked the players what they need on a swing that long. Cal Clutterbuck’s underwear-related answer was funny, but Mikhail Grabovski is the winner. Your browser does not support iframes. “Your brain. I think it’s brain, is more important (than iPads, etc.),” Grabovski said. “Don’t forget — you have a lot of those things....

People with mild OSA have sleep apnea that isn’t as interrupted as moderate to severe OSA. But because the condition is mild, it might be hard to know if you have it or for your healthcare provider to diagnose you with the condition. Keep reading learn about mild obstructive sleep apnea, its signs, and symptoms, the risks associated with it, how it is different than more severe types, and how it is managed and treated....

While you may think of the Milky Way as a flat disk, it is actually shaped almost like an “S.” Its outer edges appear distorted compared to the inner flat disk, curving slightly upwards at one end, while the other end curves downwards. The warp is visible in the distribution of stars, dust and gas in the galaxy. The orientation of this warp—or its “precession” as astronomers call it—also changes over time....

Igor Redkin, a local assembly deputy in the remote Kamchatka region in the country’s far east, said that he had wanted to go after the bear because it had been wandering around a landfill. “I took the weapon and decided to scare him away,” he said, according to a statement on Tuesday to his lawyer, provided to the local news outlet Kam 24. He said he fired at what he believed to be the animal around dusk on August 2....
