And starting on Friday in New York City’s financial district, you can. Art cognoscentes and lovers of aesthetics will have the opportunity to visit an immersive experience titled Monet’s Garden, a multimedia exhibit that allows guests to interact with Monet’s masterpieces in a way that has never been done before. Dr. Nepomuk Schessl, producer of Monet’s Garden, told Newsweek that the inspiration for this exhibition—which was created by Swiss creative lab Immersive Art AG in collaboration with Alegria Konzert GmbH—was the artist himself....

For DAHMER - Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, its full title, co-creator Ryan Murphy has teamed up with actor Evan Peters, with whom he has worked on the acclaimed series American Horror Story and Pose. Peters, 35, plays the serial killer of 17 men and boys between 1978 and 1991, and the actor looks almost unrecognizable in the role. Newsweek has everything you need to know about the highly anticipated series including release date, cast, trailer, plot, and more....

Though Monsters at Work is set in the same universe as those movies and features plenty of references to both, it does make some changes, including introducing some brand new characters alongside ones Pixar fans know and love. All the Links Between ‘Monsters at Work’ and ‘Monsters Inc.’ WARNING: The following contains spoilers for the first two episodes of Monsters at Work Though it is 20 years in real time since the November 2001 release of Monsters, Inc....

NetherRealm got the likeness of Arnold Schwarzenegger for MK 11, but it seems the studio didn’t get the actor and former politician to voice the T-800’s lines. The shortcoming is obvious from the first dialogue in the trailer, but the gameplay seems legit nonetheless. Check out the Terminator’s gameplay in Mortal Kombat 11 below. The T-800 has a varying moveset, but it looks like the Terminator will be a mix of a grappler and a brawler....

The SpaceX boss cut in after agency administrator Jim Bridenstine was asked if Musk’s headline-grabbing statements about the ongoing shelter-in-place restrictions had impacted NASA’s relationship with the rocket company. As Bridenstine was taking a cautious approach to the question asked by The Atlantic’s Marina Koren, noting he would continue to let SpaceX speak for itself, Musk interjected: “I think this is a different subject. Wrong press conference, move on.”...

We know a few who don’t own cats, such as the Jazz’s Rudy Gobert and the Knicks’ Carmelo Anthony. It seemed as if NBA players just didn’t like having feline friends, but then the Grizzlies’ Russ Smith showed up. MORE: Aussie Open players with adorable animals | Grizzlies looked ‘good’ in the 90s Not only does Smith own a cat named Mr. Quackers, but he even set up an Instagram account for his furry friend, too....

The iconic Portuguese forward is renowned for many things, with an unerring ability to find the back of the net perhaps the most impressive weapon in a remarkable arsenal. Having plundered 450 goals in just 437 appearances for Madrid, the 33-year-old has established his own unique way of acknowledging those achievements. His “Siiii” celebration is now replicated by youngsters around the world, with Ronaldo often choosing to accompany his spinning jump with the removal of his top – despite the obvious threat of receiving a yellow card....

We talked about eventually adopting but we spent about four years struggling with fertility. When we finally got pregnant, we lost my first baby in a miscarriage and then about six months later we found out we were pregnant with twins. We were ecstatic and everything was going great, then we had a routine appointment and the doctors realized I was dilated at 25 weeks. Eli and Joey were born in 2009 and we spent a gruelling five months in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU)....

One gentleman came along with his wife and son. When I scared them, he pushed them into a ditch opposite me, set off back down the path and left them. His wife was furious with him, but it was funny. I think I knew then it was the job for me, I was hooked after that scare. I’ve had thousands of scares since then; it’s just really good fun to spend a few weeks around Halloween scaring people and then making them laugh afterwards....

It is likely that my anxiety grew over the years, compounded by the hormonal shifts of childbearing. Still, for as long as I can remember, I have been someone who anticipates things and considers worst case scenarios. I have, on occasion, been called an obsessive planner. When I travel, I make a packing list weeks in advance, leave for the airport a minimum of three hours before departure time and check the terminal map to see what food will be available; in spite of the fact that I always pack snacks....

They go from house to house on foot, skipping the ones with less-than-desirable candy offerings. Later in the evening, they might compare hauls or work together with their friends to avoid the bullies who will steal their candy or their witch’s hat or ghoul mask. My Halloweens as a child looked quite different. Even though 86 percent of the population in the U.S. lives in suburban or urban areas where this scene is logistically possible, or at the very least within a close driving distance, there are some of us who cannot see ourselves in these stories....

There is a lesson here that deserves attention: the concept of “security” must be redefined, or at least expanded. For a long time, it has been defined singularly in nationalistic terms, measured by military strength. Many trillions of dollars continue to be spent on weapons to defend nations against threats they pose to each other. Vast institutions have been created around these weapons, and outstanding intellects are dedicating their brilliance to strengthening these institutions and designing strategies for using these weapons—all in the name of national security....

On March 3, Bell posted a picture of her in this uniform, captioning the image, “Sneak Peak time! After 15 years I am putting the @marines uniform back on for another exciting episode of @ncisla !! Mac is back!!” Then, the following day, she posted another picture of her in character as Mac, alongside NCIS: LA co-stars Chris O’Donnell (who plays G Callen on the show), LL Cool J (Sam Hanna) and Barrett Foa (Eric Beale)....

One of the NBA’s great active centers, Howard took a bench role in joining the Lakers in hopes of chasing the 2020 NBA title. A championship is one of the few things Howard lacked in an accolade-filled NBA career. When the Lakers beat the Heat on Sunday night, Howard could officially add a ring to his resume. Howard took to Instagram Live after the game, where he delivered a slightly NSFW message about believing in yourself....

Neymar and Cavani argued over who would take a penalty during their team’s 2-0 win over Lyon in Ligue 1 on Sunday. Neymar 12/1 to be CL top scorer Cavani eventually won that battle, but saw his spot-kick saved by Lyon goalkeeper Anthony Lopes. Forlan, the former Uruguay and Atletico Madrid star, feels his countryman Cavani deserved better, saying Neymar would never have done similar to Messi at Barcelona....

January 27 was chosen as it’s the anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi regime’s deadliest camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau, 77 years ago. Now, a letter sent by a Holocaust survivor in 1945 has finally been reunited with her family more than seven decades after it was posted. Ilse Loewenberg, née Berghausen, later Ilse Grün, was born in Büren, Germany, in 1908 to shop-keeper parents, Simon (1870-1943) and Hannchen Berghausen, née Goldschmidt....

One of Colin Powell’s heroes is Gen. George Marshall, a white of Southern stock who served Franklin Roosevelt and Harry Truman. But Powell has never objected very hard to being called “the black Eisenhower,” after a very different sort of general who enlisted in the GOP. “You don’t know my polities,” he warned a colleague who made the mistake of labeling him a Democrat in print. “Nobody does.” Bob Woodward’s stories about Powell’s differences with President Bush over the gulf war have Washington scrambling to fill in this blank....

Adrian Lopez opened the scoring after 23 minutes for relegation-threatened Depor but doubles from the excellent Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo and Nacho sat alongside a fine Luka Modric strike in a comprehensive 7-1 triumph for Zidane’s under-fire side. Victory was particularly welcome following La Liga losses at the Santiago Bernabeu against Barcelona and Villarreal, not to mention Copa del Rey struggles versus Numancia and Leganes. Nevertheless, Zidane maintained similar routs might have been enjoyed with sharper finishing over the course of recent outings....

Pogba hails ‘brother’ Griezmann The Atletico Madrid star’s youngster sibling has shown his support for Jose Mourinho’s side in the past, most recently in a series of now-deleted tweets while watching United beat Feyenoord in the Europa League in November. Antoine has been long been linked with a move to Old Trafford, even revealing recently that he would like to play with France team-mate Paul Pogba on a more regular basis, with speculation mounting over a possible summer switch from Spain....
