I was there: Rory McIlroy’s Masters triumph was the ultimate moment
It felt like nothing would top Tiger Woods's Masters win, but then the Northern Irishman completed his career grand slam on an extraordinary final day at AugustaAt 7am on 14 April in an Augusta rental home, Rory McIlroy awoke and immediately spotted a Green Jacket draped over a chair. You think: Yeah, that did happen yesterday,'" he says. That." McIlroy was now the sixth man to win all four of golf's majors.The detail of what lay around in the bedroom of my own Augusta billet is of no interest to anybody.

Scores of messages from friends, colleagues, family members - umpteen of whom have no interest whatsoever in golf - had landed. Broadcast outlets across the world wanted my assessment of what had played out on Masters Sunday. Yeah, that did happen yesterday. Continue reading...

Fresh ‘manty’ and cheap figs: a post-Soviet supermarket becomes a must-visit spot in NYC
Tashkent Supermarket's new West Village location offers staples like plov and samsas hot and fresh - a taste of Central Asia for everyoneWhen I first stepped into the Tashkent Supermarket in Brighton Beach, I could barely get around. The store was bustling, packed with the familiar unsmiling faces of post-Soviet people eager to get their hands on foods like manty - intricately shaped dumplings filled with minced beef, onion and, depending on where you're from, pumpkin for the subtle sweetness. Or chak-chak, a dessert made of small pieces of fried golden dough held together by honey syrup. Kompot, too, a drink made by simmering seasonal or dried fruits.Growing up in Kazakhstan, these were staples in school cafeterias and at home. Manty was one of the first dishes my mom taught me to make - I thought she was a magician, the way she rolled the stretchy dough out so wide and thin, yet thick enough to hold the filling without tearing. I was rarely allowed to have soda or sugary drinks, but homemade kompot with fruits and berries from our garden was an exception. And though I never mastered chak-chak, the store-bought version was always a treat. As I got older and traveled across other former Soviet republics, I found comfort in knowing I would always find plov and samsas at eateries in Moscow, Baku and Tbilisi. Continue reading...

I'm very careful, you know, when I walk downstairs for - like I'm on stairs, like these stairs, I'm very - I walk very slowly.

Need to walk nice and easy. You not have - you don't have to set any record. Be cool, be cool when you walk down, but don't, don't bop down the stairs. That's the one thing with Obama, I had zero respect for him as a president, but he would bop down those stairs, I've never seen - da da da da da da, bop, bop, bop, he'd go down the stairs, wouldn't hold on. I said, it's great, I don't want to do it. I guess I could do it, but eventually bad things are going to happen and it only takes once, but he did a lousy job as president." Continue reading...

Why are drug prices so high in America? Trump doesn’t have the right answer | Susi Geiger and Théo Bourgeron
Americans are not paying high prices because of other western countries. Pharmaceutical companies are to blameWhen Donald Trump spoke about drug prices on 19 December, he struck a familiar note.
