In the world of classical music, progress towards gender equality can seem incredibly slow.Recent big wins include allowing women in the New York Philharmonic to perform in pants and naming the second woman – ever – to the role of music director in one of the 25 largest orchestras in the United States. The Berlin Philharmonic, one of the world's largest ensembles, hired its first female concertmaster last year.Frustrated by the stubborn gender imbalances in classical music, the directors of the Wiener Festwochen, a prestigious arts festival in Vienna, formed the "Academy of Second Modernism" this year, an initiative that will present works by 50 female and non-binary composers in five year period.This season, fewer than 8% of the approximately 16,000 works performed by 111 orchestras ...

The news was featured on MSN.com: “Prominent Irish broadcaster faces trial over alleged sexual misconduct.” At the top of the story was a photo of Dave Fanning.But Mr. Fanning, an Irish D.J. and talk-show host famed for his discovery of the rock band U2, was not the broadcaster in question.“You wouldn’t believe the amount of people who got in touch,” said Mr. Fanning, who called the error “outrageous.”The falsehood, visible for hours on the default homepage for anyone in Ireland who used Microsoft Edge as a browser, was the result of an artificial intelligence snafu.A fly-by-night journalism outlet called BNN Breaking had used an A.I. chatbot to paraphrase an article from another news site, according to a BNN employee. BNN added Mr. Fanning to the mix by including a photo of a “prominent I...

“The smell of blood in the hospital emergency room this morning was unbearable,” Karin Huster, medical consultant for Doctors Without Borders in Gaza, said in a statement. “There are people lying everywhere, on the floor, outside.”The Israeli army said it was conducting military operations “above and below ground” against Hamas militants in Bureij and eastern Deir al-Balah, both in central Gaza, and that it had “eliminated” several of them.Hamas also reported clashes with Israeli forces in the area, and on Wednesday said it had fired missiles at Israeli troops east of Bureij.“There is nowhere to escape now,” said Hani Ahmed, a teacher and father of five who lives near the center of Bureij. He said two buildings in his area were hit.“Khan Younis is a pile of rubble. Rafah is under attack...

A panel of advisors to the Food and Drug Administration voted Wednesday to update the COVID-19 vaccine formula ahead of a planned fall immunization campaign, now an annual step to try to offer better protection against circulating versions of the virus.The unanimous vote of 16 advisers recommends a formula aimed at combating the JN.1 variant, which dominated infections in the United States in February, or a version of it. In recent weeks, JN.1 has been overtaken by descendants known as KP.2 and KP.3.In the coming weeks, the FDA is expected to formally recommend a target variant to vaccine makers for the next round of vaccinations in late summer or early fall. Any decision involves some educated guesswork, given that any new vaccine formula won't be available until months after a vari...

Bertien van Manen, a Dutch photographer who used point-and-shoot cameras to capture intimate images of daily life in the big cities and remote villages of China, the dingy apartments and alleys of post-Soviet Russia, and the coal miners of Kentucky, is died May 26. in Amsterdam. He was 89 years old.His practice director, Iris Bergman, said the cause of his death, which occurred in a rehabilitation facility, was pneumonia.Ms. van Manen was working as a fashion photographer in 1975 when a friend gave her a copy of "The Americans," the groundbreaking collection of photos that photographer Robert Frank took during a trip across the United States in the 1950s.“He wasn't at all interested in making beautiful photographs, and yet that's who I am,” Ms. van Manen told Aperture Magazine. ...

Electric cars are more expensive than petrol ones, mainly because the batteries cost a lot. But new technology could turn these expensive devices into an asset, offering owners benefits such as reduced utility bills, lower rents or free parking.Ford Motor, General Motors, BMW and other automakers are exploring how electric car batteries could be used to store excess renewable energy to help utilities manage fluctuations in energy supply and demand. Automakers would earn money by acting as intermediaries between car owners and energy suppliers.Millions of cars could be thought of as a huge energy system that, for the first time, will be connected to another huge energy system, the electric grid, said Matthias Preindl, associate professor of power electronic systems at Columbia University....

President Biden raised hopes last week when he approved a plan that he said could lead to a “permanent cessation of hostilities.” He said Israel has presented the plan, but neither Israel nor Hamas have said definitively whether they will accept or reject the proposal, and they appear to still be locked in disagreement on key issues.Here's a look at what is known about the ceasefire agreement, what key points still need to be negotiated, and the obstacles still to be addressed:What's in the plan?In November, Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire that lasted a week. But the proposal now on the table – as presented by Biden, a senior US administration official and Israeli officials – is more ambitious. Major questions remain unresolved, including whether Hamas will retain control...
