At 98, I wouldnt be so sharp without puzzles: do crosswords and quizzes really boost your brain power? Were told that they give us a mental workout, but the evidence suggests its a bit more complicated Miriam Raphael, 98, is a veteran puzzler. As a child, she pored over clues with her father and, later, as a teacher and mother of three daughters, it became her small daily luxury. When she learned of the first annual American Crossword Puzzle Tournament, her competitive streak kicked in and she entered, winning the second tournament in 1979. More than 40 years on, she is the tournaments most decorated competitor.When she speaks to me on Zoom from her New York home (at a time compatible with her water aerobics and yoga classes) she has the astute air you might expect of a woman who has spent nearly a century successfully returning the names of French monarchs, obscure musical instruments and meteorological phenomena.

Children executed and women raped in front of their families as M23 militia unleashes fresh terror on DRC First-hand accounts from victims of unthinkable violence paint a gruesome picture of the brutality sweeping the central African country.

Paul McCartney review a dizzying, bittersweet, life-encompassing journey through time O2 Arena, LondonAn eras tour of a different kind finds the 82-year-old former Beatle on tremendous form, packing a three-hour show with hits, flashbacks and real emotionTowards the end of Come on to Me a song about sexual chemistry from the near-end of the Paul McCartney solo catalogue the 82-year-young musician whips off his blue jacket, displaying its elegant patterned lining. The reaction is wildly appreciative, if not quite the one that once met this former teenybopper idol at the screaming height of Beatlemania. That is the biggest wardrobe change of the evening, he quips. (Swapping his H?fner bass for an electric guitar several times doesnt count.)Welcome, then, to the eras tour no, not that one, another one; one where costume changes are in inverse proportion to the number of lifetimes and cultural disruptions it spans. The McCartney timeline goes deep; inextricable from world events. The mood tonight is one of witnessing history, with clots of multigenerational fans luxuriating in the songs that moved tectonic plates and carved glaciers, shaping everything that came after.

Dr Chris van Tulleken: Its strange to have a clone of yourself in the world The broadcaster talks being a proud twin, a unwilling pilot, and a keen advocate for a better food systemBeing a twin is weird. As a medical doctor with a public profile and a PhD involving genetics, it is strange to have a clone of yourself wandering through the world. We embrace the confusion when people mistake us for each other. The state of twinness is an oddity, but its one of the most wonderful things in my life.Our baby brother Jonathan is the glue that binds us. Hes in his early 40s and more easygoing than we are. Hes the carbon rod in the nuclear reactor, soaking up neutrons, stopping it from melting down. When Xand, my twin brother, and I get into a huge, pathetic row he defuses the bomb in his funny, charming way. Continue reading... ...
