☆ Kherson was liberated over a year ago. Now the residents who returned are battered by Russia’s advancing forces
  + stars: | 2024-02-22 | by ( Nick Paton Walsh | Anna-Maja Rappard | Kosta Gak | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
Two years ago, it became the first major Ukrainian city to fall, as Russians forces swept in from Crimea. Yet, as the war enters its third year, residents describe the shelling from Russian forces under a mile away across the Dnipro River as the worst yet. And despite the icy Dnipro lying between Ukrainian forces and a Russian assault, freshly dug trenches line parts of the riverside. Across the river, within line of sight, are Russian soldiers who launch near-constant shelling on to the city of Kherson. Near-constant Russian shelling has turned Kherson into a ghost city two years into the war.

☆ Opinion | The Unspeakably Sad Reminder of the ‘Other Paris’
  + stars: | 2023-09-24 | by ( Tim Kreider | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +4 min
Listening to his moans and wails, I realized that, excruciating as my previous night had been, I’d gotten off comparatively easy. Ava, in the waiting room, saw the man’s adult daughter helplessly listening to her father’s agonies, her head in her hands, her face gray. And it’s just around the time your senescent parents die, releasing you from your last grim filial duties, that you start noticing signs of your own incipient decline. The world is arranged to discreetly conceal this side of life from us — the messy, ragged back of the tapestry. Then I was released back into the “real” Paris — the public, lovely one.

☆ Review: In Berlin, Opera Scales Up to Fill an Airport Hangar

Benches come together to form the raft and are occasionally detached to use as platforms around the pool. As the shipwrecked passengers first scramble en masse toward the raft, splashing violently in the water, the sight is powerful. But near the end, the hangar’s tremendous door, near the side of the pool opposite the orchestra, slowly slides open. The survivors emerge from the pool and walk out toward the dark, vast expanse of Tempelhof Field, led by an emergency van.

☆ Ukrainian Children With Cancer Fight Their Own War Within a War

Mykola has spent the entirety of his short life in the hospital. His cancer was diagnosed at birth, just a month before Russian forces invaded Ukraine. “It’s like you have two wars to fight,” said his mother, Anna Kolesnikova. “Two wars in your life: one is to save your child’s life, and the other war is for your country.”Across Ukraine, families of children with cancer are facing the dual agonies of life-threatening illness and a country engulfed by war. For many, the Russian invasion has meant displacement from their homes, fear of airstrikes and separation from loved ones, including family members serving in the military.

☆ Minjee Lee Doesn’t Want Golf to Be Easy

Minjee Lee has spent these past few years feeling golf’s glories and agonies more than most. She won her first major tournament at the 2021 Evian Championship, a come-from-behind playoff victory, and followed it less than a year later with a record-setting win at the 2022 U.S. Women’s Open. Then came a tie for 43rd when she tried to defend her Evian title, worries about exhaustion and a pair of frustrating finishes in the first two majors of this year. 2 last summer, Lee, a 27-year-old Australian, will have to conquer Pebble Beach Golf Links — the renowned course on the California coast — if she is to defend her Open title. Harding Park in San Francisco, Lee discussed her masterful iron play, the hazards of Pebble Beach, the evolution of the women’s game and why winning a major once, never mind twice, is so difficult.

☆ I followed Nancy Pelosi's diet of breakfast ice cream and hot dogs for a week, and I ping-ponged between euphoria and the depths of despair
  + stars: | 2023-01-31 | by ( Sophie Kleeman | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +22 min
My research found that Pelosi eats ice cream for breakfast, hot dogs for lunch, pasta, and chocolate. Chocolate ice cream for breakfast, rich and creamy pasta, and lots of snacking chocolate. She claims she does not exercise; her daughter once arrived home to find her mother eating chocolate ice cream while using a stationary bike. I save the ice cream for later to avoid a massive sugar crash and start out with a cup of black tea instead. However, I don't want to slack off after the ice cream episode, so I slather it on.
☆ Breakingviews: FTX crash is old lesson for financial newcomers

LONDON, Nov 9 (Reuters Breakingviews) - FTX is a young company facing an ancient financial problem. While it may be of little consolation to Bankman-Fried, the industry could end up better off for FTX’s agonies. Any investors who used trades on FTX’s exchange to hedge positions held elsewhere may now have to liquidate those other holdings, creating a wave of selloffs. While crypto is a new industry, the de-facto run that FTX experienced is a phenomenon as old as finance.
