While the Tour du Mont Blanc is demanding, it’s not a particularly difficult hike. It’s just long, with lots of altitude gain and loss, and always scenic. On my recent trek around the mountain with three friends, it seemed each of us had a weak spot: knees, toes, or lungs. For some, the challenge was the uphill part, and for others (with weak knees), it was going downhill. We just took it easy, with lots of little breaks. David, Sue, Shelley, and I shared the entire hike on Mont Blanc. But to be free to go our own pace, we…

An innovative biotech startup is using nature’s own signals to fight crop-killing insects—without toxic chemicals. TUCUMÁN, Argentina — When dozens of desperate farmers flocked to Victoria Coll’s laboratory in Tucumán, Argentina, she knew her research had finally met its moment. It was September 2023, and the visitors were on edge about the corn leaf­ hopper—a four-­millimeter-­long bug already decimating the grain crops nationwide. Traditional insecticides had failed, leaving farmers facing billions in losses. Coll, a botanist with a doctorate in analytical chemistry, was certain the answer lay in cracking the code plants use to communicate with insects: their scent. “Smell…

Upon driving onto the properly and seeing the Shelter, you’ll be amazed at the way it fits into its lakeside environment, almost floating on the land. Sitting on stilts four feet above the forest floor, the undergrowth adapts to the structure with flora sprouting from beneath. The surrounding wilderness is…

Homemade baked beans are super easy to make, use real ingredients, and taste so much better than store-bought. This recipe was developed to be made ahead of time, so you can enjoy it on your next camping trip, BBQ, or as a quick weeknight side. We love baked beans! Sweet, tangy, and smoky, they’re a versatile side dish for any time of day. For breakfast, they’re delightful on toast with a fried egg; for lunch, they’re great nestled in a grilled cheese sandwich; and for dinner, they’re the perfect pairing for anything coming off the grill. Of course, the simplest…

Whether it’s casino games or sports betting, players have always looked at ways of giving themselves a perceived advantage.  For many players, this includes adhering to acts which align with their superstitions. Certain superstitions may just be individual traits, but others are more universally ingrained within the culture of a country itself.  With research from Dream Jackpot, we explore the superstitious beliefs of gamblers from around the world, including a very strange Italian ritual. Red Is Favoured But 4 Is Feared In China In Chinese culture, red is considered a lucky colour, symbolising prosperity and good fortune. Many gamblers wear…

Travel has become really expensive. Post-COVID, the entire world seems to be traveling again and prices just keep rising. I am astonished at how high they have gotten. But it’s a product of rising costs and out-of-control demand. Everyone just wants to travel. We’re all looking for an escape. Fortunately, it’s not all bad. Airfare has started to go down again, there are more deal-finding websites online, free walking tours in more cities, and more opportunities to bypass the traditional travel infrastructure and connect directly into the local way of life via the sharing economy. As we navigate the post-COVID…
