Ukrainians gathered at a Kyiv church on Monday to mourn and honor two journalists who were killed by a Russian drone while reporting near the eastern frontlines. War correspondent Olena Hubanova, who worked under the pseudonym Alyona Gramova, and cameraman Yevhen Karmazin were killed Thursday when a Russian Lancet drone slammed into their car in Kramatorsk, about 12 miles from the front line. The duo are the latest journalists killed in the Ukraine war, with priest Viktor Zhyvchyk hailing them for their work during the side-by-side funeral service at St. Michael’s Golden-Domed Monastery.

“Do You Know What It Means to Be Loved by Death” begins with a stunning image of Louis and Claudia silhouetted atop the gilded winged equestrian statue called Renommee des Arts, the city unfurling behind them like a promise. This is their new home, their rebirth. But from the very first moments, we sense it: they’re being watched. In modern day Dubai, Armand describes Paris as “an awakening ” for Louis, saying so with a quiet kind of pride. The pair — still performing the strangest kind of domestic bliss for Daniel Molloy’s recorder — finish each other’s sentences like…

Since Congress passed President Donald Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill” this summer, strong real-GDP growth has combined with minimal inflation, boosting American prosperity. But one potential misstep could end this decisive, action-oriented administration’s hope of making the American economy great again — while losing the midterm elections and Republican control of the government. The Trump team is oddly frozen over what to do about the so-called “Basel Accords,” rules developed decades ago to introduce capital standards into the then rapidly developing international banking space — but which instead arguably led the global economy into repeated disaster. At issue is the…

In my 20 years as a college mental health counselor, I was surprised by the amount of pain that was caused by the lack of time management skills and the number of students who sought help to address it. In an earlier era, time management was thought of as the purview of the study center; however, more and more studies show the connection between time management and mental health. Time management for mental health is not different from traditional time management, but perhaps with the broader goal of benefitting both productivity and wellness. The process still boils down to planning.…

Hamas is now digging through the rubble in Israel-controlled sections of Gaza in search of the bodies of the 13 remaining hostages — as only hours remain to come up with results before President Trump’s deadline. The terror group is working in tandem with Egyptian excavation teams across the Gaza Strip to try and locate the slain hostages, which include Israeli-Americans Omer Neutra, 21, and Itay Chen, 19. The rush to find the bodies comes after Hamas failed to hand over any hostages in six days, endangering the US-brokered cease-fire deal and leading Trump to impose a 48-hour deadline on…

Maks Chmerkovskiy is calling out “Dancing With the Stars” for casting Jan Ravnik as a pro dancer on the hit dance competition series. “I’m sorry, Jan has absolutely no business being a pro on ‘Dancing with the Stars,’” the Season 18 mirrorball champion said on wife Peta Murgatroyd’s “The Penthouse With Peta” podcast last Friday. “There’s zero foundation technique, quality, understanding of the partnership.

As a kid, I always enjoyed Halloween. It was a fun time to meet with friends, dress up in a favorite costume, and gather treats from around the neighborhood. It is easy to remember my favorite costumes over the years. I was a rabbit one year, and a nurse another. My younger brother dressed up in a dog costume and a pirate costume. There was a year when we were both clowns. Sparky, our little dog, often got involved as we put a red handkerchief around his neck. Everyone wanted to play with him, and he was on his best…
