- PHOTO OF THE DAY
A Keen Eye
A monocled matron reads her newspaper on a bench in St. Petersburg, Russia, in this image from our photography archives. The image was published in a May 1971 story about life in the city, which was originally founded as St. Petersburg, but changed to Petrograd and later Leningrad, before returning to its original name in 1991 after the collapse of the Soviet Union. St. Petersburg spills across the banks and islets of the Neva River delta on the Gulf of Finland and is laced together by nearly 600 bridges.Limitless with Chris Hemsworth
Chris Hemsworth takes on three epic challenges to explore science-backed ways to improve our health. He learns to drum for a brain-boosting, surprise stadium gig, climbs a frozen 600-foot wall to explore the benefits of breaking out of our comfort zones, and embraces brutal Special Forces pain training in South Korea—all to discover how we can live longer, better lives.
