When Russia's Vladimir Putin began a military invasion of Ukraine on February 24, 2022, it was widely assumed that Ukraine would surrender quickly. Instead, Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky—an actor-turned-politician famous for playing an actor-turned-politician in Servant of the People —refused to budge, withstood multiple assassination attempts and rallied his people to fight. He pleaded with the international community to implement sanctions on the Russians and to provide weapons and ammunition for the Ukrainians. How did Zelensky accomplish this transformation? Where did he first take Putin's measure? Read about it in this exclusive advance look from Ukrainian journalist and political commentator Serheii Rudenko's upcoming Zelensky: A Biography (Polity Books, July 18), in which he explores Zelensky's life and governing style, from his childhood through the beginnings of the war.

Dear Coleen I’m a 67-year-old man and my sex life with my wife is non-existent and has been for several years.

I sometimes spy on her showering and she caught me once, but didn’t say anything and pretended she hadn’t seen me. I sometimes pleasure myself when my wife’s asleep next to me – is that normal? Or sometimes I use porn when I’m alone. I’m at my wits’ end. Is there anything we can do to get the spark back in our 25-year marriage? My wife is 72. What advice would you give to this reader?

Rio Ferdinand has opened up on the "mind-boggling" decision that Manchester United made back in 2014 when they released him and a handful of other senior players - a move that the club are set to repeat this summer. Ferdinand enjoyed a trophy-laden 12-year spell at Old Trafford but was unexpectedly axed by the club in the twilight years of his career. Patrice Evra and Ryan Giggs also left the club that summer, meaning United lost a lot of experienced pros in one hit. United were in a period of transition in the 2013/14 campaign after Sir Alex Ferguson had stepped down the previous year. His successor, David Moyes , had been sacked just 10 months into a six-year contract, meaning United were set to begin the new domestic campaign under another new manager. The club are currently in a similar position, with incoming boss Erik ten Hag expected to significantly reshape a playing squad that limped to a sixth-placed finish last term; United's worst ever performance … [Read more...] about Man Utd risk repeating mistake Rio Ferdinand has slammed as “mind-boggling”

Scientists have discovered an entirely new class of super-reactive chemical compounds in the Earth ’s atmosphere that they say may affect both human health and global climate . The study, published in the journal Science , documented for the first time the formation of so-called trioxides – extremely oxidising chemical compounds with three oxygen atoms attached to each other. “This is what we have now accomplished. The type of compounds we discovered are unique in their structure. And, because they are extremely oxidising, they most likely bring a host of effects that we have yet to uncover,” study senior author Henrik Grum Kjærgaard from the University of Copenhagen said in a statement. In the new study, scientists have shown that hydrotrioxides, as they are known, are a completely new class of chemical compounds that form under atmospheric conditions. Hydrotrioxides are a kind of hydrogen polyoxide, with water – containing two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen … [Read more...] about Study finds ‘millions of tons’ of extremely reactive chemical in Earth’s atmosphere

Bostonians call it "Marathon Monday," the day the annual 26.2-mile Boston Marathon is held. It's also Patriots Day, when state residents simultaneously commemorate the anniversary of the American Revolutionary War battles of Lexington and Concord. Now, the latter is taking on another meaning, as the title of an upcoming Mark Wahlberg movie about the April 15, 2013 bombings that killed three people and injured 264 near the finish line of the Boston Marathon. Last June, a judge sentenced the surviving attacker , convicted bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev , to death. His brother, Tamerlan, died four days after the bombings. The siblings planted two homemade pressure-cooker bombs near the marathon's finish line, killing Martin Richard, Lingzi Lu and Krystle Campbell. They also were responsible for the murder of a Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer, Sean Collier. CBS Films released a two-minute trailer for the film this week. It shows Wahlberg as the fictional Police … [Read more...] about First look at Mark Wahlberg film about the Boston Marathon bombings, “Patriots Day”
