En primer lugar, el atuendo de Kravitz: una camiseta sin mangas color ciruela, pantalones de cuero, botas negras y sus característicos lentes de sol.Luego, el ejercicio en sí, que se llevó a cabo en un banco declinado e involucró una barra con pesas a cada lado.En la posición inicial, Kravitz está boca arriba, con la barra extendida hacia abajo de su cabeza. Luego, mientras la levanta con un movimiento furioso, parece hacer una combinación de un pullover y una abdominal. En la posición vertical, hace un press de hombros, llevando la barra por encima de la cabeza.En el video, Kravitz,…

The markets assume that former President Donald J. Trump has an even chance of winning the November election.So far, it appears they don’t care either way.The political prediction markets — which allow traders to place bets on the outcome of the November election — show that the presidential race is tight.After trailing for months, President Biden has moved slightly ahead of Mr. Trump in the betting on Predictit, the longest-running commercial prediction market in the United States. On Betfair, a robust British prediction market that is officially closed to U.S. residents, Mr. Biden has moved within one percentage point of…

Well, he was an idol of cinema. Idols, though, can crumble and fall, and I keep thinking about how, early in his career, Delon was repeatedly likened to James Dean, a comparison that was probably dreamed up by a flack looking for an easy way to publicize a client. Delon and Dean are very different, of course, including in their performance styles and screen presence, but there are moments — when the lighting and angle are just so and the camera lingers on their faces — when each man’s looks create a strange disturbance in the air. They don’t simply…

The writer Deborah Feldman has been rattling expectations ever since she published “Unorthodox,” a 2012 memoir of her departure from her Hasidic community in New York, which was later made into an acclaimed Netflix series. Feldman, whose first language is Yiddish, emigrated to Berlin a decade ago. She has published books in English and German. And since the start of the Israel-Hamas war last October, her writings and interviews have touched a nerve in Germany, where she is now a citizen.She became a rare voice in German media: a Jewish writer critical of Germany’s unquestioning support of Israel, and the…

Reality is coming.In the words of Diana Taurasi during her interview with Scott Van Pelt on SportsCenter, when Caitlin Clark enters the WNBA, she will be liquidation. After four years of dominating the college game, Clark begins the next chapter of her career as one of the youngest players in the most talented league in the world. Regardless of the overall trajectory of Clark’s career, she’s unlikely to be the best player on the court every night like she was at Iowa. Diana Taurasi on Caitlin Clark heading to WNBA, ‘Reality is setting in… You look superhuman playing against 18-year-olds,…

Theda Hammel is under no delusion that Covid is box-office gold.“I don’t think it’s going to draw people in, the idea of dwelling on that time,” she said last week at the Soho Grand Hotel in Manhattan, sipping an herbal tea on a leather couch. “But I think it has value as a little bit of a time capsule.”Later this month, her debut film, “Stress Positions,” an ensemble comedy that showed at Sundance, will ask audiences to return to the early days of the pandemic, a time that many people would rather forget.And what about the no-straight-people-in-her-entire-movie thing? Was that…

Frank A. Olson, who as a top executive of Hertz cast the running back O.J. Simpson as the star of the company’s commercials — a corporate marriage that shined up both parties and that lasted two decades, until Mr. Simpson was charged in a double homicide in 1994 — died at his home in Palm Beach, Fla., on Wednesday, the same day Mr. Simpson died. Mr. Olson was 91.The cause was complications of Covid, his sons, Christopher and Blake, said.The coincidental timing of the deaths of Mr. Olson, who had steered Hertz through years of corporate turbulence, and Mr. Simpson,…

“I may hold the world’s record for the person who has made the most documentaries about their family directing films,” she said. Her career, she wrote in “Notes on a Life,” a 2008 book, reflected that “I am an observer at heart, who has the impulse to record what I see around me.”Late in life, Ms. Coppola tried her hand at directing cinematic fiction, with decidedly mixed results. Her “Paris Can Wait,” released in 2017 when she was 81, was dismissed by Jeannette Catsoulis in The New York Times as “little more than an indulgent wallow in gustatory privilege.” While…

Iran is expected to mount an attack soon on Israel, but not on the United States or its military forces, when Tehran retaliates for an Israeli bombing in Damascus, Syria, that killed several senior Iranian commanders, U.S. and Iranian officials said on Friday.American intelligence analysts and officials think Iran will strike multiple targets inside Israel within the next few days, three U.S. officials said, speaking on anonymity to talk about sensitive matters they were not authorized to discuss publicly. Officials did not indicate what form the attack would take, what kinds of targets would be involved and the precise timing…

A high court in Argentina ruled on Thursday that Iran was the mastermind of the 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires that killed 85 people, potentially paving the way for relatives of victims to make claims against the country in international tribunals.While Argentine investigators have long believed that Iranian operatives and high-ranking officials played key roles in the attacks, the decision this week by Argentina’s second-highest tribunal goes further by holding the Iranian state itself responsible.The ruling also characterized Iran as a terrorist state at a moment when tensions are running particularly high between Iran and…
