The prestigious Broadway at Orchard Place development is located in Westminster, on the former site of London's Metropolitan Police HQ. The luxury towers, which were built in 2022, have 258 apartments, including 16 penthouses, with prices ranging from £1.6 million to £26.5 million.

Since its completion in 1504, Michelangelo's David has been a central figure in Italian history. However, curators are concerned that the marble statue's cultural and political value is being harmed by the thousands of refrigerator magnets and other souvenirs sold around Florence, which are mainly focused on David's genitalia. Cecilie Hollberg, the Galleria dell'Accademia's director, has marketed herself as David's guard since her arrival at the museum in 2015, taking aim at those profiteering from his fame, often in ways she finds 'debasing.' In this way, she's a bit of a David herself against the Goliath of unfettered capitalism, with its army of street vendors and souvenir shop operators hawking aprons of the statue's nude figure, T-shirts of it's involvement in pornographic gestures, and ubiquitous figurines, many in Pop Art neon.

Whenever I meet someone new and they discover that, as a professor of psychology and neuroscience, I study memory for a living, the most common question I get is: 'Why am I so forgetful?' I ask myself the same thing all the time. I forget names, faces, conversations, and even what I'm supposed to be doing at any given moment. We all have our hands tied during those instances. Forrest remains one of the most puzzling and frustrating aspects of the human experience, and as we get older, it can be downright scary. Severe memory loss is unquestionably debilitating, but I've found that forgetting isn't really something to worry about. In fact, it's normal - and often helpful - to ignore the little stuff.

Brian Walshe, 47, was sentenced to 37 months in prison for selling two fake Andy Warhol paintings for $80,000. Walshe was sentenced to three years in prison and fined $475,000 in restitution in court on Tuesday. The allegations came after a purchaser discovered Walshe's advertisement for two paintings from Andy Warhol's renowned 'Shadows' series and purchased them from the crook in 2016. Nevertheless, the buyer discovered that there were no Warhol Foundation authentication stamps on the paintings, as the seller promised. The paintings were also very different from how they were advertised on eBay, causing the buyers to realize that the artwork was obviously fake.

Mulvaney, whose friendship with the beer-maker last year sparked a costly boycott among conservatives, was retaliating angrily against an online critic who had declared her "15 minutes almost over." Mulvaney rebuffed the troll, rolling around in bed, and repeating herself, saying, 'I think it's been a little longer than 15 minutes, darling.' Despite the Bud Light backlash, which has seen the beer lose its position as America's best-selling beer, Mulvaney maintained that her career is progressing.

'And rather than dealing with these real problems, it makes absurd laws' punishing climate activism,' he said. Following a string of climate protests, Italy's parliament passed a bill in January increasing fines for people who damage monuments and cultural sites.

The soup throwing marked the beginning of a civil resistance movement with a vocal demand for...the socioeconomic stability of sustainable food,' according to the organization later. Riposte Alimentaire's website states that the French government has been trying to ensure food safety in the region, which includes the selling of 'food cards' worth €150 a month per person to purchase approved food items.'

Warhol honed the spectacle as America's first 'Mod Wedding,' and it certainly lived up to its description as a non-traditional wedding, as the bride and some of her 4,500 guests have now testified in recent interviews.
