Andrew Carnegie’s 1902 mansion on Fifth Avenue, a Georgian homage on an immense, Gilded-Age scale, is currently the home of a more modest domestic scene: the bass-baritone Davóne Tines’s childhood living room. As part of the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum’s triennial exhibition, “Making Home,” Tines has worked with the director Zack Winokur and the artist Hugh Hayden to create “Living Room, Orlean, Virginia,” an uncanny, poignant replica of the house of Tines’s grandparents, who raised him.

Ash Xu once thought she'd grow up to be a software engineer just like her dad. Instead, the 22-year-old is fresh off directing her first TV commercial. Later that year, she landed her first paid gig to film a commercial for an online brand. She also started to realize "my dreams of becoming a commercial director aren't as far away as I thought." Her TV commercial directing debut taught her "I don't have to be the most knowledgeable or perfect person in the room," she says.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. — The former Illinois sheriff’s deputy charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of Sonya Massey could soon be set free, following an appellate court ruling that cleared the way for his pre-trial release. At a hearing Monday, a circuit court judge said he will on Friday determine the restrictions for Sean Grayson’s release. Courtesy Ruby Funeral ServicesCadagin said he would comply with the court order and determine “the least restrictive conditions” for Grayson’s release. In its unanimous decision issued Wednesday, the 4th District Appellate Court ruled Cadagin’s having denied Grayson pre-trial release was improper. “This appellate court ruling was a serious miscarriage of justice, as far as I’m concerned,” he said.

Trump to this day criticizes Pence for certifying the results of the 2020 election, falsely claiming it was stolen due to rampant voter fraud. In another interview in October of that year, Leavitt again denied that Joe Biden had won the 2020 election legitimately. Youngest White House press secretaryAt 27, Leavitt will be the youngest person ever to hold the position of White House press secretary. Trump praised Leavitt’s appointment, calling her “smart,” “tough” and “effective,” as he is expected to shake up the traditional White House press briefing in some way.

CNN —The White House has been spruced up and transformed into a gilded winter wonderland after more than 300 volunteers and residence staff spent the holiday weekend decking the halls for the final time under the Biden administration. The theme of this year’s decorations, the Office of the First Lady announced Monday, is a “season of peace and light,” drawing on the spirit of the holiday season – and the décor hewed closely to the theme, with thousands of twinkling lights and floating paper doves. May the promise of this ‘Season of Peace and Light’ guide your path forward.”The White House welcomes approximately 100,000 visitors each holiday season, touring the festive displays from the East Wing through the Library, the Vermeil Room, the China Room, the Diplomatic Reception Room and more. Last week, Jill Biden welcomed this year’s official tree from Cartner’s Christmas Tree Farm in North Carolina. Jill Biden will welcome National Guard families to be the first to tour the decorations later Monday.

CNN —Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Department of Defense, was pushed out as the head of two veterans’ advocacy organizations amid internal allegations of mismanagement and personal misconduct, The New Yorker reported Sunday. It also alleges that he sexually pursued female staffers, and that the organization ignored another staffer’s alleged sexual misconduct. It claims that his management team “sexually pursued” employees and divided the organization’s female staffers into two groups — “party girls” and “not party girls,” The New Yorker reported. The accuser told police that Hegseth physically blocked her from leaving a hotel room, took her phone and then sexually assaulted her. Years later, Hegseth paid the accuser in a settlement agreement that included a confidentiality clause, his attorney Timothy Parlatore told CNN in a statement last month.

The stewards regarded this as a “complicated” case as both drivers were on slow laps, rather than pushing on qualifying laps. But the incident was clearly still on his mind after he had crossed the finish line, telling the media that he had “lost all respect” for Russell. “I think that’s the first time that in a slow lap someone has been penalized,” Verstappen said in the postrace press conference. All the chaos let Zhou Guanyu score his and Sauber’s first points of the season, crossing the line in P8. F1 heads to Abu Dhabi for the final race of the season this weekend.

She decided to test the waters about having another kid in her 40s and brought our niece over. My mom ended up not having a third child, and I feel a little bit guilty about it. Or maybe she looked at my brother and me and thought, these two turned out great — why not try for a third? Either way, I'll never forget the day she decided to test the waters of motherhood again, using our young niece, Amber, as what can only be described as a trial run. Instead of cranky teenagers, we started to act like a family again — having family dinners together instead of hiding in our rooms and even hanging out with Mom in public.
