Everyone's interested, but it can be taboo to discuss the most intimate details of your bedroom in social situations. So how do we learn about sex?

The answer is science.

Sex researchers get wide berth to ask people the down-and-dirty details of their sex lives.

The Supreme Court is gearing up to make decisions on three major cases involving abortion, affirmative action, and immigration before its term ends in late June or early July.

The court is currently hampered by its lack of a ninth justice — Justice Antonin Scalia died in February, and Congress Republicans have declined to consider Obama's proposed replacement, Merrick Garland. 

This has led a number of ties and compromises, leaving broader legal questions largely unanswered. Читать дальше...

CLEVELAND (AP) — A man who fled the United States after pleading guilty in 1994 in a $3.2 million food stamp fraud case has been arrested in Israel and returned to northeast Ohio, according to federal authorities.

Cevian

Cevian Capital is a multibillion dollar activist hedge fund that you've probably never heard of.

That's deliberate.

The firm, the biggest of its kind in Europe with 12 billion euros, or about $13.6 billion in assets, eschews the aggressive activist tactics popular in the US.

It doesn't write sharp-tongued letters to CEOs à la Dan Loeb, a more stereotypical American activist hedge manager.

Instead, Cevian takes a more cool-headed approach to activist investing, the firm says. Читать дальше...

California Republicans face an interesting ballot this November. The first office they'll see is the presidency, and their presumed nominee is greatly unpopular and possibly facing a convention insurrection. The second office, US Senate, features only two candidates, both of whom are Democrats. How will the typical Republican vote in that election? Chances are a good many of them won't.

We’re all commitment phobes. We scan, we skim, we browse, but rarely do we read.

Our eyes pingpong back and forth from Facebook posts to open chat boxes, unclicked emails to GIFs of dancing cats, scanning for keywords but barely digesting what we see. Average time spent on an online article is 15 seconds.

In 2014, the Pew Research Center revealed that one-quarter of American adults hadn’t read a single book in the previous year.
