The world was quite shocked to learn that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez finally sealed the deal and got married on July 16 in Las Vegas. They had only been dating for a year and engaged for three months, after all. However, it also happens to be their second time on this particular rodeo, as the couple had previously been engaged in the early 2000s. With that failed attempt came some hard-won experience dealing with the paparazzi in their relationship, but their honeymoon seems exposed their different responses to the scrutiny nowadays.

After officially becoming Mr. and Mrs. Ben Affleck, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez jetted off on their family-inclusive honeymoon trip to Paris, France. (Their kids from previous relationships were there too, as well as their parents) According to some reports, the Deep Water star was overheard whispering sweet nothings to his new wife, and JLo’s mom in turn

Sometimes climbers and their achievements are so remarkable they make my job easy; they leave no doubt I will write about them. My last column about Madaleine Sorkin climbing the world’s hardest high-altitude free route, was one of these.

Now I’ve been gifted another, on the same vertical stage — the nearly 1,000-foot tall granite wall called the Diamond on Longs Peak — but on a different extreme route: The Honeymoon Is Over (5.13c). Of its 8 pitches, 3 are rated 5.13. Each of these boasts insecure movement on tiny holds, plus short, powerful sections that require poise as much as power.

This rarely climbed route had seen just one

Liz Truss, prime minister, arrives in Birmingham for her Conservative conference this weekend facing the task of rebuilding her party’s shattered morale after one of the shortest political honeymoons on record.

Truss made her first big move as prime minister on September 8, announcing a £150bn energy package to help households and business, but things have gone rapidly downhill since then.

Rather than reaping any political dividend from the huge energy intervention, Truss received a note in the House of Commons within minutes of sitting down, telling her the Queen was on her deathbed.

Truss had to put politics on hold for almost two weeks; the energy package, which takes effect on Saturday, was old news by the time Kwasi Kwarteng’s “plan for growth” was eviscerated by the markets last Friday.

Truss arrived in Birmingham not with the glow of a newly elected prime minister, but as the head of

(CNN) — When planning a honeymoon, many couples go for obvious destinations like Paris, the city of love, or the Maldives, with its stunning azure waters.

Few, unlike Croatian newlyweds Kristijan and Andrea Ilicic, opt for a freight train carrying wagons of dirty iron ore across the baking hot deserts of Mauritania in northwest Africa.

The couple hit upon their unusual post-wedding experience having already visited scores of destinations around the world as travel influencers — Kristijan has clocked up no less than 150.

“We really saw a lot,” Kristijan told CNN via email. “This time, it had to be something completely different. And we found it in… Mauritania!”

The climax of their trip was an online photoshoot on top of the iron ore-laden train as it rumbled across the desert on its 700-kilometer (435-mile) journey from the mining town of Zouérat to the Atlantic port of Nouadhibou.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — Miami is on a two-game losing streak, plus has some major injury problems, a disgruntled fan base and quite possibly a quarterback controversy.

The honeymoon for the Hurricanes is officially over.

Miami’s 45-31 loss to Middle Tennessee State on Saturday did more than knock the Hurricanes (2-2) out of the Top 25. It showed that the offense is continuing to sputter and the defense is suddenly susceptible to big plays. It also brought out more booing from those who showed up for the game — there weren’t many — and left everybody afterward reaching for answers.

“We’ve got a long ways to go,” Miami coach Mario Cristobal said. “I knew we had a long ways to go upon arrival, but the progress that we had made in some respects, I feel like certainly we’ve regressed. And we’ve got to do a better job.”
