U.S. escorts a record number of ships through Hormuz, but remains far from controlling the strait

The United States and Iran have resumed hostilities, the price of Brent crude has risen again to $95 per barrel, and six months later, the interrupted diplomacy does not allow for a glimpse of an early end to the war.

Welcome to ‘sexalescence’, the wonderful age of Cindy Crawford and Salma Hayek

They call it sexalescence, an expression that aims to redefine the life of active sixty-year-olds eager to seize every purpose.
