In this sparsely populated village east of Moscow, Mikhail Korshunov’s house is visible from far away.
Portraits of Russian rulers — from the 13th-century Novgorod prince, Alexander Nevsky, to President Vladimir
Putin — adorn its facade.
Korshunov, a self-taught artist, painted them along with many other things. He uses different styles and
techniques. His portraits of Russian leaders are painted in a realistic manner, but he also made a few icons
imitating the old traditional style.
His status of a local celebrity earned him an order from one local restaurant, whose facade and interiors he
decorated, but his art is mostly non-commercial.
Korshunov, a former firefighter who now works as a forest ranger, also writes poetry.
Villagers in Severnaya Griva, 140 kilometers (nearly 90 miles) east of Moscow, like him for his talents and
generosity: He once built a wooden chute for children.
Like other residents of his half-abandoned village, he relies on his land plot to feed himself. But his tractor
also looks peculiar: an image of deer is painted on its side.

The Superhuman Sports
Society, a Tokyo-based group of
researchers and game
designers, has certified 12 new
sports since its launch in 2015,
including "HADO", or "wave
motion" in English.
In "HADO", players in head-
mounted augmented-reality
displays and armband sensors
dodge waves of light as they
fire energy balls at each other
in a virtual arena. The game is
similar to the action seen in the
"Dragon Ball" manga-animation
franchise and "Street Fighter"
video games.
May 15, 2017

Some games are low tech such as
"Rock Hand Battle", in which each
player wears an oversized arm and
tries to knock off small rocks
attached to an opponent's "rock
hand".
Noriya Kazami, 25, a cartoonist
and an inventor of "Rock Hand
Battle" said she took inspiration
from the legend of Mitsuishi
(Three Rocks) and the Demon's
Handprint.
May 15, 2017

Ryoichi Ando, 27, a virtual-
reality researcher and an
inventor of "Bubble Jumper",
said he felt as if he were
wearing the kind of augmented
body suit found in science-
fiction movies that boosts the
wearer's strength.
May 15, 2017

Tomohiro Hamamura, 25, who
works in IT sales and is a "HADO
Kart" player, said: "When I play this
sport, I don't need to think
seriously. I just feel the existence of
another world which is different
from my real world."

attached to an opponent's "rock hand". Kazami
said she took inspiration from the legend of
Mitsuishi (Three Rocks) and the Demon's
Handprint. She also created a comic book series
based on the legend, in which a devil was tied to
rocks and made to stop harassing the local people.
The devil left a handprint on one of the rocks,
making a "rock hand". REUTERS/Kim Kyung-Hoon

Piyohina, an Internet idol
and singer of animation
songs, said: "When I play
HADO, I always simulate in

an energy ball."

Junpei Sasaki, a singer and "HADO"
player, said: "Sometimes I can feel
the sensation of the energy ball
leaving my hand when I play HADO.
It makes playing the sport really
exciting."

"Technology can improve
and supplement human
ability," said Isao
Uebayashi, 38, a sports
science researcher and an
inventor of "Slide Lift".
"Anyone can do 'drift
racing' with this

Equipped with special
wheels, the motor-assisted
wheelchair can be moved
by "Slide Lift" racers in any
direction, including in
racing car-like drifts.

Hirohiko Hayakawa, 26, a Ph.D.
student in media design and an
inventor of "ToriTori", said:
"The drone in the air is a part
of the player's body and this
sport integrating human and
machine makes me experience
the feeling of flying."
Hayakawa said he was inspired
by the bird catchers ("tori tori"
in Japanese) in Kenji
Miyazawa's classic 1934
fantasy novel "Night on the
Galactic Railroad".
May 15, 2017

Kosuke Sato, 25, a Ph.D. student in
human informatics and an inventor
of "Carry Otto", said he wanted to
create a sport anyone could enjoy
regardless of age, gender or
disability. Carry Otto is a motorized
wheel device with reins that pull a
rider seated on a dolly. Riders race
each other.

vetted by a hardline body. Nevertheless, elections are fiercely contested and can bring about

plans to resettle millions of citizens

Follow a free-spirited, energetic, and eccentric 83-year-
old Californian through her aerobic daily routine—a
true inspiration to anyone who fears that age will slow
them down.
Photographs and text by Jessica Rattner
Carol Schuldt is a dynamic, strong, and fiercely independent
83-year-old woman.
As she goes about her unusual daily routines—clad in thrift
store mini-skirts, colorful moth-eaten sweaters, and bright
silk—some might say that Carol embodies the quirky,
creative and iconoclastic spirit of her native San Francisco.
Carol’s brightly painted home and distinctive clothes stand
out in the foggy, beachside Outer Sunset neighborhood
where she has lived for more than 50 years. Known by many
as the “Queen of the Beach,” she has long been a familiar
and inspiring sight in her fast-changing city.
Carol’s weathered body (which has been through hip
replacement surgery and several bouts with cancer) houses
a youthful spirit that is energized and sustained by her
intense connection to the sun and the ocean. Most days she
rides her bicycle to the beach, where she bodysurfs naked
in the frigid Pacific. When the beach is shrouded in “F-O-G”
(a word she will not utter, but only spell), Carol jumps in her
trinket-festooned pickup and races across the Golden Gate
Bridge to skinny dip in a sun-dappled mountain spring.
For several years I have been photographing Carol, both at
her home and on her daily adventures in nature. She is a
fascinating character and, I believe, a potential inspiration
to many—especially older adults who fear that age will slow
them down.

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei denounced the
heated rhetoric of Iran's presidential election campaign on
Wednesday as "unworthy", a thinly-veiled rebuke of
pragmatist President Hassan Rouhani's attacks on his main
conservative challenger. Khamenei's intervention two days
before Iranians go to the polls could help sway the vote by
signalling the supreme leader's dissatisfaction with Rouhani's
conduct. "In the election debates, some remarks were made
that were unworthy of the Iranian nation. But the (wide)
participation of the people will erase all of that," Khamenei
told an audience on Wednesday, according to his own

Protesters use a giant sling shot to throw a
"poopootov", a bottle filled with feces,
during a rally against Maduro on May 10.
Maduro's government has equated the use
of feces-filled bombs to biochemical
weapons that could spread illnesses.
Protesters write messages like "For the
political prisoners!" and "Sent with love"
on the containers.
"The use of a biochemical weapon is a
crime," said Marielys Valdez, general
inspector for the courts. "And it carries a
high penalty."

Greece crisis : one family’s struggle
Seven years into Greece's
deepening economic crisis,
those living on the
breadline have been hit
hard.
The Argyros family are
emblematic of the poverty
in Greece after years of
austerity demanded by the
country's international
creditors.
PHOTO STORY

Five years since
abandoning their barren
Aegean island of Leros for
Athens, they are trapped
in a vicious cycle of
unemployment and debt.
Kostas Argyros, 35, picks
up only occasional work as
an odd-job man and his
30-year-old wife Olga, a
nurse, has been
unemployed for a nearly
decade.
PHOTO STORY

They live in a tiny, 49-square-
metre apartment with their four
small children and burn wood to
heat their home in winter. Food
is cooked on a small gas stove,
and hot water is scarce.
PHOTO STORY

The only evening light is the blue
glare of a TV screen, for fear of
racking up more debt. Five-watt
lightbulbs provide a dim glow. The
life they had hoped for appears as
far away as ever.
"We came here for a better future,"
Olga said. "But things went from
bad to worse."
PHOTO STORY

Greece is on its third international
bailout since 2010, struggling to contain
a huge debt mountain that has brought
it to the brink of being thrown out of the
euro zone.

In exchange for the money, European
Union and International Monetary Fund
creditors have demanded budget
austerity, such as more than a dozen cuts
