First of all, their main job was to get false information to Adolf Hitler — rather than to steal Nazi secrets. And, secondly, some of these spies didn’t actually exist — they were completely made-up creations of British intelligence. But World War II would see a dramatic expansion of the offensive use of counterspies — not simply to prevent the enemy from knowing things but to actively deceive the enemy by planting disinformation. I also met the man who came up with the D-Day deception, Roger Fleetwood Hesketh, who was a trained architect. He told me that for the D-Day deception, codenamed Fortitude South, he had drawn on different talents.

CNN —June 6, 2024 marks 80 years since D-Day, the first day of the Normandy landings that laid the foundations for the Allied defeat of Nazi Germany in World War II. The Allied troops’ invasion was coordinated across air, land and sea, in what can be described as amphibious landings. On D-Day alone, around 4,440 Allied troops were confirmed dead, according to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC), with more than 5,800 troops wounded or missing. Because Omaha Beach was the bloodiest landing beach, the US Army lost the most men in the amphibious landings. Within minutes of reaching Omaha Beach, 16 of these men were killed and four were wounded.

Two giant, shirtless men bow respectfully and then hurl themselves at each other in a violent pas de deux that ends with a victory in seconds. But the setting for this tussle on Saturday night was not Tokyo or Osaka, but the Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City. There, a boisterous, nearly full crowd got an in-person look at sumo wrestling, an ancient Japanese sport that is rarely seen stateside. Before the matches began, Melinda Wilkerson, who like most in the crowd was set to see sumo live for the first time, said she expected to see “some talented athletes.” Her husband, Brett, clarified: “Some big talented athletes.”

And on Thursday, Garland showed that he was getting some things right: Dance Theater, now in its 55th season, has a vintage kind of glow. The company, along with its dancers, seems to be more sure of itself: It’s growing into a sense of style. Honoring Mitchell was a reminder of why Dance Theater, born after the assassination of the Rev. Along with showcasing the transformative power of ballet, Garland writes in the program, Mitchell used Dance Theater as a means for social justice in part by way of its repertoire: George Balanchine ballets were performed alongside works by Black choreographers like Geoffrey Holder. 2,” which braids social dance with classical ballet.

Ashton Edwards rushed across the stage and straight into Taylor Stanley’s arms on a Sunday afternoon at New York City Ballet. In “The Times Are Racing,” a fervent ballet by Justin Peck, that hug is part of the choreography — a freeze-frame of raw emotion, like a stop sign dropped into a sea of hurtling, sweeping bodies. The embrace is a signal for a new beginning: an intimate pas de deux that unfolds like a dream within a dream. Their performance glowed, and not just because it was newsworthy: This was the first pairing of two nonbinary dancers in a major pas de deux at City Ballet. But what mattered more was the energy between their physical forms; the warmth they radiated even at a distance; and their phrasing, which was so fluid that at times they seemed less two bodies than one.

Where “The Dream,” a Ballet Theater staple in recent decades, is a reliable showcase for the company’s theatricality, George Balanchine’s “Ballet Imperial,” on the same program, is good for displaying the troupe’s classical chops across its ranks. Unlike New York City Ballet, which has called the work “Tschaikovsky Piano Concerto No. 2” since the 1970s, Ballet Theater doesn’t downplay the imperial Russian associations, using a backdrop of St. Petersburg. That’s a choice that might disturb some viewers, but Ballet Theater’s rendition also had aesthetic problems. De la Nuez goes for it, too.

He formerly was a foreign correspondent for The New York Times and Paris correspondent for CBS News. But conquering the city’s bedbug infestation, too, could prove to be an Olympian challenge. The deputy mayor of Paris has also asked Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne to take it on. A French government survey found that at least 11% of all French households reported having a bedbug infestation between 2017 and 2022. The tried-and-true solution to combating bedbugs is as old as Paris itself.

And if gestures of tribute speak louder than words, Degas made a powerful one. In his increasingly reclusive later years he set about assembling a personal collection of Manet’s work, a sampling of which, in a section called “Degas after Manet,” concludes the show. The painting was so polemically pointed that Manet had to keep it hidden in storage. Degas and Manet, at the start of their careers, first met in the galleries of a grand public museum. In the end, they kept company in a small private one, the shadowy rooms of Degas’s Paris apartment.

Fate convenes our two friendless protagonists one morning in the walled gardens there, where Henri has been sent to collect a £5,000 packet of cash for delivery. While he looks on unseen from a balcony, Louise simply scoops up the money and walks away. Henri can’t quite conjure a reason; his cousins aren’t the forgiving kind, and there is no question there will be consequences. There are endless glasses of cognac and solitary meals in cafes; even a scattering of faceless lovers who melt away in the morning, unmissed. The result is a collection of lovely, haunted images that never fully coalesces into compelling narrative.

Mr. Murdoch’s heir apparent, Lachlan, defended Fox and the Dominion settlement when speaking to investors on May 9. Contrast Mr. Murdoch with, say, Jamie Dimon, the chairman and chief executive of JPMorgan Chase, the nation’s largest bank. Does anyone at Fox or News Corp hold Mr. Murdoch accountable in the same way? One way to rein in Mr. Murdoch may lie with Smartmatic. Smartmatic, or even the recently filed shareholder lawsuit against Fox, could end up pressuring Fox, and indirectly News Corp, to scrap their dual-class stock structures.

The partnering grows increasingly steamy — an intimacy consultant was brought in to ensure that everyone felt comfortable. (On the Ballet Theater website, the production comes with a parental advisory, advising discretion for children under 13.) “People are sometimes afraid because they don’t know exactly what ballet is,” he said. “But maybe we can bring in new audiences because they think they’re going to get a theatrical and dynamic experience. Maybe they’ll be able to experience ballet through the art of storytelling, which is more accessible.”

Jerome Robbins wasn’t feeling well in winter 1995. He had created “West Side Story Suite” — a condensed adaptation of his 1957 hit Broadway musical — for New York City Ballet earlier that year and started work on a new pas de deux with two principal dancers, Lourdes Lopez and Nikolaj Hübbe. Nonetheless, he continued to work with City Ballet on a new dance over the next two years. The 40-minute dance offered a bucolic idyll — a playful, youthful group, sporting with charm and what looks like spontaneity. The reviews were enthusiastic — “Choreographically, he has outdone himself here,” Anna Kisselgoff wrote in The New York Times — as were audiences.
The result is the largest-ever database of one-on-one Zoom conversations. It may shed new light on what we talk about when we talk about talking today — the conversation of the future. And while the average loudness of speakers didn't change across bad or good conversations, the "good" talkers varied their decibel levels more than the "bad" talkers did. The machine found that women rated as better Zoom conversationalists tended to be more intense. Good conversationalists are those who appear more engaged in what their partners are saying.

Astfel Rusia, interesată să controleze procesul politic de la Chișinău, ar fi contrabalansat cu cei peste 200 de mii de alegători din Transnistria numărul de alegători din diasporă, consideră comentatorul politic Anatol Țăranu. Transnistria întotdeauna a fost o pârghie pentru a influența și a controla procesul politic din RM”, a spus Anatol Țăranu în cadrul emisiunii „Cabinetul din umbră” de la JurnalTV. „Încercarea de a organiza trei birouri de votare în Transnistria ar fi fost un proiect pilot pentru Moscova. Amintim că CEC a dispus organizarea a 41 de secții de votare distincte pentru alegătorii din stânga Nistrului. Propunerea PAS de a adopta o decizie care să interzică transportarea organizată a alegătorilor din această regiune la secțiile de vot pe 11 iulie a fost respinsă de CEC.

„Întrebați PAS de ce ieri nu au fost la dezbateri, că cel mai mare „neo-națist” declara că ei sunt prezenți la fiecare dezbatere. Dar la Moldova 1 a venit o doamnă, care a fost ministră a Justiției, deșteaptă că ea știe toate legile, a plecat că ei nu discută cu cei care au furat, după ce tot ei au furat miliardul. Cum să discuți tu cu tine, dacă tu ai furat miliardul? „PAS nu are ce discuta cu hoții”, a declarat aceasta. „Poate împărțim minutele rămase între noi?”, a întrebat, la rândul său, Platon.

Reprezentativa Angliei este la un pas de a reuşi o performanţă istorică. Fotbaliștii englezi sunt conștienți că toată țara va fi cu ochii pe ei în meciul de pe Wembley și speră să nu-i dezamăgească pe suporteri. În ultima perioadă, am fost în semifinalele Ligii Națiunilor și a Cupei Mondiale. "Îmi amintesc când am ajuns la stadionul Wembley și am văzut foarte mulți suporteri lângă arenă, care ne așteptau. Danemarca a ieșit cu greu din grupa ei, cu două înfrângeri și o victorie, dar a jucat formidabil în faza eliminatorie, unde a demolat Țara Galilor, scor 4-0, și a învins Cehia cu 2-1.

Italienii au bifat prima ocazie mare, când Immobile a șutat în bară, dintr-o poziție ce s-a dovedit a fi în afara jocului. Mikel Oyarzabal a primit o pasă excelentă în adâncime și a rămas singur cu Donnarumma, însă a făcut o preluare defectuasă și faza a rămas fără urmări. Dani Olmo a ratat și el prima lovitură a spaniolilor, cu un șut peste poartă, menținând egalitatea. Cel care a greșit a fost autorul golului egalizator, spaniolul Alvaro Morata, Donnarumma parând execuția slabă. Ultimul executant, brazilianul naturalizat Jorginho, l-a executat cu sânge rece pe Unai Simon și a trimis Italia în finală.

Râuri şi râuleţe au ieşit din albii şi au inundat drumurile din mai multe localităţi. Pe reţelele de socializare au apărut imagini în care puhoaiele au luat cu asalt podurile, iar maşinile s-au transformat în bărci. Râul Bâc a ieşit din albie şi s-a revărsat pe străzile adiacente unde a provocat un adevărat dezastru. Un pârâu, care până acum îşi făcea liniştit drum printr-o vale spre râul Ceaga a ieşit din matcă în urma ploilor torenţiale. Timp de câteva ore un pod care face legătura între sate a fost impracticabil.
