          across Russia in a 24-hour period, including one more than 700 miles (over 1,100 kilometers) from the border, officials on both sides said yesterday, as Kyiv works to weaken Russia’s military and its energy industry.

          The strikes follow about 20 similar attacks since the beginning of the year.

          Everyone feels lonely from time to time. But for some people, loneliness becomes entrenched in a way that’s bad for their health.

          Chronic loneliness is associated neurologically with changes in areas important for social cognition, self-awareness and processing emotions. Scientists have long known about a connection between loneliness and Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia. Recent research has suggested an association with Parkinson’s disease. It is also linked to depression.
