Uma das mais talentosas e diversificadas enólogas da sua geração, Joana Pinhão ascendeu a um nível técnico impressionante num curto período de tempo, absorvendo e replicando todo o conhecimento adquirido na vasta experiência que já acumula. Com efeito, esta ribatejana de origem, que cursou agronomia no ISA, com posterior especialização em viticultura e enologia, já contabiliza passagens pelo Douro, Tejo e, mais recentemente, Trásos-Montes e Alentejo. Sem, claro, esquecer a preciosa colaboração para os vinhos Vale dos Ares, em Monção, propriedade da família do marido, Miguel Queimado. Em todo este percurso, Joana foi chamando a atenção pela consistência do trabalho desenvolvido, quer nos diversos locais por onde passou, seja nos projetos em nome próprio: no Douro, o Somnium, com o colega de curso e amigo Rui Lopes, focado na expressão…

Measure everything I’ve been a subscriber long enough (30+ years) to notice from the letters submitted that I’m now observing the comments from a younger generation of readers, despite the comments therein often being repeats of old themes. The price of seniority, I suppose. I’ve also been around this hobby long enough to recall some of the many hi-fi magazines that are no longer with us: Audio, Stereo Review, High Fidelity, Listener—and to have a notion as to why some of these failed. Some I sorely miss; others not. Now that we’re largely down to the “big two,” I think it’s time for Stereophile to focus on the core of its merits: measurements. The other guys appear to use only one technical tool, a thesaurus, as they pen their reviews and recommendations. Stereophile, in…

¿TU PISO ES PEQUEÑO O GRANDE? • Estancias pequeñas Si lo que quieres es conseguir amplitud, el blanco es un gran aliado. También los colores fríos y claros, como el gris o el azul, que 'retroceden' las paredes. • Estancias grandes Invitan a pintar con colores intensos, como un verde oscuro. Para aligerar el ambiente, pinta una o dos paredes, el resto de un tono más claro. LA CLAVE. Para ganar amplitud, elige el mismo blanco o gris suave para el sofá y las paredes. Añade calidez con detalles en tonos tierra. ¿ENTRA MUCHA O POCA LUZ? • Habitaciones oscuras Necesitan colores luminosos que refuercen la luz. Los colores fríos y suaves, como un azul claro o un turquesa, dan mucha frescura. También puedes elegir un gris relajado o un beige. • Habitaciones luminosas El blanco…

I grew up in Charleston and Miami and Tampa. My idea of beauty was a giant orange and yellow grass-hopper with pastel wings that I saw when I was a little girl. I chased my cousin Artie around with it! When I moved to New York and became a model, I didn’t know anything about the industry. I got a job modeling for Christian Dior for $50 a week. Once I started working, I made myself an athlete. I uncrossed my eyes. (Dick Avedon used to look up at me from behind his camera and ask, “Are they straight yet?”) I jumped around. I worked hard. But by 1972, there weren’t many of us models left. All the big girls like Veruschka, Twiggy, and Jean Shrimpton had basically split. I wish…

Where was the last place you travelled to? “I went to Ortigia in Sicily over the summer, which was really beautiful. It was my first time there. I’m food obsessed, so I did a lot of research on where to eat, and found some gorgeous places, but I also think there’s a real romanticism in just stumbling across a really nice local restaurant. Ortigia was brilliant for that – you could walk out of the hotel and immediately find delicious arancini. And I discovered an amazing fish restaurant right on the water; one evening, there were a couple of locals just playing the most beautiful music while we ate. I loved exploring the churches and cathedrals too, seeing the art inside and appreciating the architecture.” Where in the world are you happiest? “Every year…

WHEN YOU HIT THE SACK only to find yourself awake again just a few hours later, pondering the meaning of it all, you may feel alone in the universe. But the truth is you have plenty of company. Occasional, short-term insomnia was estimated to affect an eye-opening 30 to 50 percent of the world before 2020, aka the Year That Stole Everyone’s Sleep. By July, according to a report in NeurologyToday, experts around the country were talking about “Covid-somnia,” a dramatic increase in sleep disorders spurred by the upheaval of the pandemic. Fortunately, there are simple ways to reduce that deficit and get some shut-eye. 1 WARM UP, THEN COOL DOWN Those lucky people who nod off effortlessly have something in common: “Their body temperature naturally drops a tiny bit just before…

CUT BIAS STRIPS Strips for curved appliqué pieces and binding curved edges should be cut on the bias (diagonally across the grain of a woven fabric), which runs at a 45° angle to the selvage, because it has the most stretch. To cut bias strips, begin with a fabric square or rectangle; if necessary, square up the left edge with an acrylic ruler. Make a cut at a 45° angle to the left edge (Bias Strip Diagram). Handle the diagonal edges carefully to avoid distorting the bias. To cut a strip, measure the desired width from the 45° cut edge; cut parallel to the edge. Cut enough strips to total the length needed. MAKE AND USE TEMPLATES MAKE TEMPLATES A template is a pattern made from extra-sturdy material so you can trace around it many…

The other day, Johnny Knoxville came across a relic from his past buried in a drawer at home. “I found a packet of those things at the house,” he said. “What do you call it? I can’t remember what they were called.” He paused, searching for the word. ¶ Eventually, he found it. “Yeah, the catheter,” he said. “They’re pretty sizable—about the width of a No. 2 pencil.” ¶ This sort of thing now happens to Knoxville—run-ins with the random detritus of an extraordinary career. “You’ll find arm casts, things like that,” he said. “Bunch of gauze in this drawer. Arm cast over there.” A pair of extra-long prop testicles, from his film Bad Grandpa, are mounted like a work of art in his home office. The catheters are remnants of…

The resulting mural greets visitors to the Mazmanian Lab today. A vaguely psychedelic, 40-foot-long, tube-shaped colon that’s pink, purple and red snakes down the hallway. In a panel next to it, fluorescent yellow and green bacteria explode out of a deeply inflamed section of the intestinal tract, like radioactive lava from outer space. The mural is modest compared with what the scientist has been working on since. Over the last decade or so, Mazmanian has been a leading proponent of the idea that the flora of the human digestive tract has a far more powerful effect on the human body and mind than we thought — a scientific effort that earned him a $500,000 MacArthur Fellowship “Genius Grant” in 2012. Since then, Mazmanian and a small but growing cadre of fellow…

There’s a pernicious procedure called civil asset forfeiture that Congress should have banned years ago. Using it, the government can seize your house, your car and your cash, even when you’ve done nothing wrong—i.e., you haven’t been charged with, much less convicted of, a crime. And this happens more often than you think. Since Congress hasn’t taken care of this, the Supreme Court should unambiguously rule that the process is utterly unconstitutional. Officers can just declare that they suspect the property in question was used in the commission of a crime or was obtained illegally, and they don’t have to prove their suspicions before seizing it. That’s right—no charges have to be filed. Then, incredibly, you must prove your property is clean. Recovering the assets seized from you is a laborious and expensive…

The guide clicks his fingers. After three days of walking with Mpatinga Ole Nkuito, I know he is signaling a warning. We look up to see a bull elephant 50 feet away, striding through the spiny grass in search of a mate. “If he smells us, we’re in big trouble,” whispers Roelof Schutte, my other guide. It’s unmistakable, from the secretion that trickles down the side of the bull’s head, that he’s in musth—which means he’s aggressive and hormonal. We stop dead, shoulders pinched to our ears. I’ve seen animals in musth before, but on foot it’s infinitely more hair-raising. Schutte shakes his wind checker, a cylindrical brass container that releases baby powder, to establish which way the wind is blowing. The creature can’t see us, but one shift in…

Even now, thirty-odd years after they were lost, my family still talks about the rings. West Point, class of 1943. First the original and then a replacement slipped off my grandfather’s hand while he swam in Lake Michigan’s Grand Traverse Bay, a 32-mile-long incursion that separates the Leelanau Peninsula, the pinkie finger of Michigan’s mitten, from the mainland. Poppy might have learned his lesson after the first one, but absentmindedness is strong in our gene pool. I suppose it’s possible some stranger has found one by now, but they’re both probably still on the bottom, not far from the house, kept company by the ashes of a family dog and the billions of invasive zebra mussels that have carpeted the lake floor in recent decades, outcompeting native species and making…

Where have you just come back from? ‘South Queensferry, Scotland. I was there for about two and a half months filming A Castle for Christmas. I was living in an absolute fantasy: I’d wake up in the carriage house and look out at the castle tower, then on my days off, I’d go to collect sea glass from the shore. We did a lot of horse riding through the countryside and ate unbelievable fish and chips. The beauty of shooting a movie is that you’re forced to live as much like a local as possible. It’s not really about sightseeing: you end up being immersed in a community in a way that you wouldn’t experience as a tourist. I’ve always been almost addicted to travel, because of the depth of the…

When we asked you to vote in our 2021 Readers’ Choice Awards – the third year running that we’ve teamed up with our sister title in the USA – travel was more wishful thinking than a reality. So we didn’t expect your answers to be based on recent experiences so much as a browse through the virtual holiday album – you’re clearly raring to go. Which were the hotels, spas, cities and islands you’d return to in a shot, and who are the fixers and high-flyers that would get you there? The boom in staycations clearly had an impact on some British and American choices, but in the questionnaire that accompanied the survey, a majority said they wanted to take more trips than ever before, and to seek out new…

“La casa es de 1875 y, como no estaba muy bien conservada, decidimos empezar de cero y mezclar elementos tradicionales con otros más contemporáneos”.PERNILLE TEISBAEK”Cuando estás trabajando en un entorno creativo, el cerebro necesita descansar. Entrar en mi cuarto me produce una sensación muy agradable para mis ojos y mi alma”. Estrenar la casa de tus sueños no es algo que suceda con demasiada frecuencia, pero hay quien lo consigue al menos una vez en la vida. Este es el caso de la estilista y directora creativa danesa Pernille Teisbaek y su marido Philip Lotko, cofundador de Rains, la firma de prendas para la lluvia que ha debutado esta temporada en la Semana de la moda de París. Primero compraron la planta baja de la casa, ubicada en un barrio residencial…

THE ENIGMATIC SOVEREIGN By Chris Levine, artist In 2004, it had been 800 years since the island of Jersey broke away from France and pledged allegiance to the Crown, and they wanted to mark that relationship with a contemporary portrait. When I got the phone call about it, I thought: ‘Why me?’ It really was daunting because I wanted to create something worthy. If I was going to take on the commission, I wanted to instil into it something iconic. Creatively, I was given complete agency. I got to style the Queen, which I did with her PA Angela Kelly, and chose a single line of pearls, a selection of capes and the Diadem Crown, which is beautiful and understated, with a simple cross. The appointment had been in my diary for three years,…

A MANAGER WE’LL call Tom was a midlevel sales executive at a Fortune 500 company. After a dozen or so years there, he was thriving—he made his numbers, he was well liked, he got consistently positive reviews. He applied for a promotion that would put him in charge of a high-profile worldwide product-alignment initiative, confident that he was the top candidate and that this was the logical next move for him, a seemingly perfect fit for his skills and ambitions. His track record was solid. He’d made no stupid mistakes or career-limiting moves, and he’d had no run-ins with upper management. He was stunned, then, when a colleague with less experience got the job. What was the matter? As far as Tom could tell, nothing. Everyone was happy with his work,…

When I was a kid, we played a game: would you rather be given eternal happiness or told the secrets of the universe? I always chose secrets. In Eugene, Oregon, where I lived until age ten, you could see the Milky Way at night, a big glittering highway of stars. Now most people in the United States and Europe can’t see the Milky Way at all. Maybe kids today will form their celestial musings from the Webb telescope and its surreal imagery of early star life. Pondering the universe is part of childhood. It’s as if kids are on duty, wondering about UFOs and black holes and where the universe ends and what the hell is outside of it, while adults cease their shift on night watch. They leave it to…

Progressives have struggled to comprehend the foundations of the far right’s continuing support. Many assume that the populism unleashed by Donald Trump was a reaction to the decades of wage stagnation endured by the working class. But in fact, it is a movement of small-business owners, many of whom saw their assets depreciate as a result of the subprime mortgage crisis. The Trump diehards who cut their teeth in the Tea Party were not wage-workers but small-business owners concentrated in the blue-collar residential construction sector and its white-collar satellite professions of homeware retail, real estate services, mortgage brokerage, and accounting. It was the meteoric rise of this small-business sector—not deindustrialization—that gave birth to today’s far-right populism. This style of conservatism dates back almost a century. When the largest publicly listed corporations…

A photograph of me as a child. I am in the bath at my grandparents’ house in Sydney. Patches of bubbles cling to my skin like the strategic gauze brushed over nude figures in classical paintings. I’m kneeling, but the bubbles are thick and my body is visible only from the navel up. My shoulder-length hair is still blond—it would darken in later years to a reddish-brown—and it is flipped over my head to one side. I have recently lost one of my two front teeth. You can see because I’m holding out bath toys to the camera, one in each hand, and I’m grinning. I also have small breasts. Buds puffing out from my ribs, present enough to pinch but not to hold. The photograph was taken in 1996, when…

José João Santos, diretor de conteúdos da EV-Essência do Vinho, tem a paixão da escrita, da reportagem, da formação e da prova. É ainda autor do podcast "Vinho, Palavra a Palavra". Qual lanterna que vai à frente, desde os anos 80 do século passado que o Alentejo tem iluminado muitas outras regiões do país, com tudo o que de bom e de menos positivo isso possa ter implicado.

Os vinhos de fruta evidente e prontidão de consumo, os vinhos com perceção de barrica mas preservação de fruta, os vinhos de apelo imediato e de conquista de novos públicos, os vinhos de combinação de castas portuguesas e internacionais foram dados a conhecer ao consumidor…

AP picture of the week Smailholm Light Show by James Elliot Sony A7, 50mm f/1.8 lens, 1/5sec at f/5.6, ISO 400 James, a 28-year-old from the Scottish Borders, took up photography two years ago. ‘I was lucky enough to be invited along to Smailholm Tower in Scotland to photograph the light show created by Andy McGregor to celebrate 250 years of Sir Walter Scott,’ he tells us. ‘It was amazing to witness and photograph in person.

Whenever there is a notable resurgence of shoulder pads in fashion—as we have seen in several instances these past few seasons, from the Balenciaga and Saint Laurent shows last March to the Givenchy and Balmain collections at Paris Fashion Week in October—tribute must be paid to the enduring legacy of Dynasty. The ’80s prime time soap opera, in the hands of its legendary costume designer, the late Nolan Miller, epitomized everything that era stood for: decadence, wealth, and glamour. It also gave us the style icon Alexis Carrington (the role that turned Joan Collins into a Golden Globe–winning star). As Dynasty’s resident villain, she gave rise to a new breed of woman: powerful, power-hungry, and armed with a fabulous wardrobe so she could dress the part. (Miller never repeated a look…

GIVEN THAT heart disease is the number-one cause of death of adults in the U.S., it’s surprising, even alarming, how little people know about it. The condition kills more women each year than all cancers, including breast cancer, combined—a fact 68 percent of Americans don’t know, according to a recent Cleveland Clinic survey. About one in 16 White, Black, and Hispanic women over age 20 has it. We’re also fuzzy on preventing it: In the same survey, only 20 percent of respondents thought you should start getting your cholesterol tested in your 20s (true), while 58 percent said that popping an aspirin every day can help protect you (false). There are things you can do to fend it off, though, and they don’t involve a pill. Most incidences of cardiovascular disease—which…

Liya Kebede Founder and creative director of Lemlem, model, and actress New York City and Paris In a Lemlem dress, you can’t help but float through summer. Whisper-light and awash in happy, sun-drenched colors, each one is hand-woven on wooden looms by African artisans, following centuries-old traditions. The brand’s founder is Ethiopian model and maternal-health advocate Liya Kebede, who rose to fame in the early aughts as the face of Tom Ford’s Gucci and the first Black spokesmodel for Estée Lauder. On a trip to her hometown of Addis Ababa around that time, she noticed a distressing drop in the demand for traditional garments, and got busy. “Weaving is a craft that has been passed through generations and holds deep cultural significance,” says Kebede, who set her mind to preserving the art,…

BRAD PITT TRIES to remember his dreams. He keeps pen and paper on his bedside table and records everything he can recall when he wakes up in the morning. “I’ve found that to be really helpful,” he says. “I’m curious what’s going on in there when I’m not at the helm.” He tells me this one recent afternoon in the brightness of his living room, at his Craftsman home in the Hollywood Hills. For a long while, his sleep had been haunted by a particularly persistent and violent dream—the particulars of which he later describes for me in an email exchange. He writes: For a solid four or five years there, the most predominant dream I would experience would be getting jumped and stabbed. It would always be at night, in…

“BACTERIA IN YOUR GUT PRODUCE ABOUT 90 PERCENT OF THE SEROTONIN IN YOUR BODY — THE SAME HAPPY HORMONE THAT REGULATES YOUR MOODS.” Fielding the volley of work messages became a Sisyphean task. “There’s always the overriding fear that I’m not going to come out of it, that I’m always going to feel this way,” Peters says. “That probably is the scariest thing.” Peters, 50, had read about mood probiotics, gut bacterial strains marketed to help with depression and anxiety, but never felt like they were for him. “I was very skeptical,” he says. When his wife, who was battling panic attacks, tried mood probiotics and saw her episodes diminish, he began to reconsider. After his depression symptoms returned last summer, and the Prozac he’d tried in the past had lost its…

It’s been a year like no other, and we aren’t talking about the pandemic. There were rapid-fire public offerings, surging cryptocurrencies and skyrocketing stock prices. The number of billionaires simply exploded. Forbes found an unprecedented 2,755 around the world—660 more than a year ago. A staggering 86% are richer than they were then. Altogether they’re worth $13.1 trillion, up from $8 trillion in 2020; their average net worth is $4.7 billion, $900 million more than last year. The U.S. still has the most billionaires, with 724, followed by Greater China with 698. We used stock prices and exchange rates from March 5, 2021, to calculate net worths.

Meryanne Loum-Martin Owner, Jnane Tamsna hotel, Marrakech “Being a child of the African diaspora, I am in awe of the extraordinary creativity that comes from our community here in Marrakech,” says Loum-Martin, whose boutique hotel is a preferred hideaway for artists and writers in the Palmeraie, a sprawling oasis at the city’s northern edge. Though the Paris native, who is Morocco’s sole Black female hotelier, admits it can be hard to peel herself away from the property, she has spent the past 25 years getting to know the city. Here, she shares her ideal itinerary, including the art galleries—and nightcaps—worth scouting out. Mornings in the medina “After breakfast, which I always have under the sun in the hotel gardens, I’ll head down to the medina. Even now I experience it with the…

> For the complete 2022 Hot List, see cntraveler.com/hot-list ACCORD, NEW YORK INNESS Within minutes of arriving at this rustic but refined compound, you realize what a welcome shift it heralds for hospitality in the Catskills. The brainchild of Taavo Somer, who spent most of the last two decades developing restaurants in Manhattan and Brooklyn famous for their beards, taxidermy, and artichoke dip, Inness also specializes in atavistic pleasures elevated by smart curation. With its 28 cabins and 12-room farmhouse and social hub, it marries Scandinavian-style minimalism and throwback Americana, with echoes of the Borscht Belt summer resorts that used to be ubiquitous in this part of the state. There is an excellent restaurant, naturally, with a menu of comfort food with shades of Italian and Middle Eastern cooking. The surrounding area is…

Last year, we kicked off our annual Readers’ Choice Awards by acknowledging that, with voters stuck at home, the 2020 list was a unique testament to the most enduring things in travel. Last year’s winners were properties and places, airlines and cruise ships, that travelers yearned for when traveling wasn’t possible. Fast-forward 12 months, and our 34th annual RCA list reflects the ways the world of travel has begun to welcome back guests. For even while restrictions remain in place and uncertainty about the future persists, we are traveling again. Borders have reopened. Cruises are getting passengers safely back on certain seas. Flight routes have been reinstated. So the following pages are filled with what you, the greatest and most discerning travel critics out there, longed for when you couldn’t…

New years always feel like fresh starts. For travellers and hopeful destinations, this one might feel fresher than most. It’s the year that, with just a few exceptions, the post-pandemic shackles will fully be released – and long-haul travel will be back on the cards. Take Asia, which is now mostly open again, and where places like Kyoto, Canggu and Chiang Mai will feel changed after an enforced tourism pause – and perhaps more rooted and locally focused. When it comes to global travel, the main narrative is about sensitive re-engagement with the world and awareness of our impact on local environments and communities. None of that is to say there won’t be simple joy, whether visiting one of a thrilling new crop of Roman hotels, running barefoot on the…

“Desde un punto de vista creativo es estimulante revisitar conceptos que perduren en el tiempo”. ALEXANDRE DE BETAK“Lo que más me gusta es mezclar estilos e influencias de forma espontánea”.ALEXANDRE DE BETAK dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Jacquemus… Con más de 1.500 desfiles a sus espaldas, Alexandre de Betak es una figura clave en el mundo de la moda que, a través de Bureau Betak, fue capaz de reinventar el sector. En 2016 fundó una agencia de diseño digital, Bureau Future, y ahora se atreve con Takbe Studio, una nueva estructura dedicada a la arquitectura y el diseño de interiores. “Me he pasado la vida creando desfiles que duran diez minutos o menos, así que es súper interesante y muy estimulante a nivel creativo dedicar tiempo a revisitar conceptos más duraderos”, afirma.…

Desde lo alto del monte de Santa Lucía se vislumbra Viana do Castelo, una localidad llena de historia al norte de Portugal (a unos 50 kilómetros de la provincia de Pontevedra), rodeada por el océano Atlántico y por el río Limia. Es aquí donde la artista Iva Viana (1980) pasa largas horas navegando en su barco, demostrando que ella es una más en la naturaleza. Lo refleja en su taller, situado en la misma calle en la que nació, y donde ven la luz enormes paneles y murales esculpidos con estuco. Maneja el yeso como nadie. Es tanto el cariño que le pone que afirma sentirse ansiosa cuando acaba una obra porque “es como darle un adiós definitivo”. Su espacio se divide en dos: una pequeña vivienda de tan solo…

WHAT GOOD CAN come of this? In times of stress, crisis, or trauma, people often ask that question. This year we’ve been hit by a pandemic that has caused hundreds of thousands of deaths, unprecedented unemployment, and a global economic downturn. In the face of such a tragedy—personal and collective—it might appear that the answer is “Nothing.” However, at some point we will be able to reflect on the long-term consequences of this terrible time and what it has wrought for each of us as individuals and for our organizations, communities, and nations. Almost certainly those outcomes will include some good along with the bad. Over the past 25 years psychologists like me have been studying this phenomenon. We refer to it as post traumatic growth. We’ve learned that negative experiences can…

A Herdade da Calada tem acompanhado a história recente dos vinhos do Alentejo com passo seguro. A propriedade remonta a 1854 e os primeiros proprietários foram os descendentes do Duque de Lencastre. Atravessa todo o séc. XX, passando por melhoramentos e diferentes donos. Mas é na viragem do último milénio que começa a produção de vinho como a conhecemos. É construída a adega e os vinhos são assinados por Paulo Laureano, referência na enologia nacional. Depois, em 2007, a herdade é comprada pelo casal Penauille, Jean-Claude e Maria - ele francês, ela portuguesa. É também nesse ano que a enologia passa para Eduardo Cardeal. Maria Penauille, ou simplesmente D. Maria, recebe-nos e acompanha-nos na visita. Gosta do campo e da sua herdade. “Não é o Chateau de Versailles, mas é uma…

Entre Viseu e Tondela, na aldeia do Farminhão, um jovem casal de ascendência gaulesa adquiriu e fixou-se na Quinta da Roda da Quintã, onde produz os vinhos recentemente lançados sob a designação Vizinho Vinhateiro. Quem diria que, por trás destes vinhos, há um conceito com séculos de história, que nos remete para a Alsácia? Charlotte Hugel, parte da 13ª geração da família que se fixou na Alsácia - onde produz os seus celebérrimos vinhos desde 1639 - veio para o Dão na companhia do marido, o enólogo Paul Chevreux, que conheceu em Portugal, quando ambos trabalhavam nas caves Graham’s. Na Quinta da Roda da Quintã, localizada na aldeia de Farminhão, próxima de Viseu, instalou-se recentemente um jovem e discreto casal de origem francesa, com vista a perseguir o seu sonho de produzir…

How do I grow beautiful hydrangeas year after year? —Michelle Cannon, Red Hook, N.Y. Adored for their fluffy pom-pom flowers, these plants are nature’s cheerleaders, typically thriving throughout Zones 4 to 9. But the various types require unique care for lasting impact. To ensure that yours explode with beauty every summer, heed the advice of Ryan McEnaney, communications manager at Bailey’s Nursery, in St. Paul, Minnesota, and a spokesperson for ‘Endless Summer’ hydrangeas, on snipping, soaking, and feeding them. 1. Know Your Variety Most hydrangeas fall into one of three categories: panicle (cone-shaped, like those shown), smooth (large and snowball-like), or bigleaf (bigger leaves—you guessed it—in tighter globes or more open, lacy petals). The first two bloom on new growth; the last erupts on both new and old (i.e., the prior year’s branches). 2. Prune…

Khao Yai, a two-and-a-half hour drive north-east of Bangkok, was once seen as little more than a gateway to Thailand’s oldest and third-largest national park; a quick rest stop to fuel up on spicy som tam before four-wheel-drive safaris and rainforest treks in an 800-square-mile Eden of rushing rivers and waterfalls, shared with roaming elephants, gibbons and Asian black bears. But now a clutch of resorts is offering a reason to linger. First among them is the InterContinental Khao Yai Resort, where superstar hotel designer Bill Bensley has helped to turn a former swathe of fallow farmland into a manicured jungle of baobabs and gnarled trees dripping with ferns and tillandsia. Railcar-like rooms, spread over a trio of gingerbread-trimmed lakeside guesthouses, nod to the late 19th-century Pak Chong railway station…

With a background in music and electronics, combined with a somewhat entrepreneurial tendency, Howard Alexander Dumble (who later asked to be known as Alexander) had a future in amplifier design that was almost preordained. Growing up in Bakersfield, California, Dumble sold homemade transistor radios to his school friends and built a 200-watt PA system for the local junior baseball team. As an epicentre of progressive rock and electric guitar development, California – particularly Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area – was driven by local bands including Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead, The Byrds, Little Feat and Santana. After leaving school, Dumble was introduced to the luthier Semie Moseley in Santa Cruz, who was looking for someone to design an amplifier to complement his Mosrite guitar range. Dumble built 10…

AMONG ROLEX’S 2022 releases, the uncontested headline grabber was the southpaw, crown-at-nine GMT-Master II with the black-and-green bezel—the Sprite or Riddler, if you’re into nicknames. Moving the crown to the opposite side of the dial, which makes it more comfortable for wearing on the left wrist, delivered the sort of stunt Rolex that geeks love, and offered a chance for obsessives to post pictures of other left-handed Rolexes of the past. As a seasonal trophy watch it’s a slam dunk, but my curiosity was instead piqued by a reissue that was defined by more subtle modifications. I’ve been thinking about the relaunch of a historic and perplexing Rolex—the Air-King. The latest Air-King is an homage to the golden age of aviation during the 1930s, according to Rolex, with large numbers and…

Look anywhere and you’ll find music. Without a single exception, every culture produces some form of it; like language, it’s a universal trait in our species, and over the millennia it has bloomed into a diverse and stunning global symphony. Yet music’s origin remains one of the great secrets of human history. The oldest known instruments are 42,000-year-old bone flutes discovered in caves in Germany. Vocal music surely predates these, but the problem, according to University of Amsterdam musicologist Henkjan Honing, “is that music doesn’t fossilize and our brains don’t fossilize.” With little hard evidence, scientists still debate what evolutionary purpose music serves. And because its purpose is obscure enough to warrant debate, some skeptics question whether it serves any purpose at all. Charles Darwin thought it did. In music, he found…

No group has benefited from the white-hot market more than the 20 richest Americans. Eight of them are now worth $100 billion or more, up from just two a year ago and none in 2017. One boasts a fortune of more than $200 billion. The combined net worth of this elite echelon is up an unprecedented $500 billion over the last year, to $1.8 trillion—a figure greater than the GDP of Canada. Admission to the top 20 now requires a fortune of $36 billion, the most ever, to qualify. 1. JEFF BEZOS $201 billion SELF-MADE SCORE: SOURCE: Amazon AGE: 57 RESIDENCE: Seattle, WA PHILANTHROPY SCORE: Bezos stepped down as CEO of Amazon in July—and promptly launched himself into space, spending ten minutes outside the atmosphere aboard his company Blue Origin’s first manned spaceflight.

there’s something almost religious about the start of the Bold and Beautiful swim, from the Manly Life Saving Club to Shelley Beach, about half a mile around the rocky coast, and back again. Every morning at seven o’clock, a hundred or so people of all ages wade into the water in bright pink swim caps and Speedos, like budgie-smuggler Baptists. At a distance they resemble the cast-iron figures of British sculptor Antony Gormley, barely distinguishable from one another, looking to the water for answers. My sister lives in Manly, a beachy suburb on a peninsula at the southern end of Sydney’s Northern Beaches. I’ve been coming for 20 years, doing the odd Bold and Beautiful swim since it started with five people on Boxing Day in 2008. Today, more than 17,000…

A few years ago, swishing through the monotone nothingness of the Arctic tundra in Norway’s frozen north, I realized I might have had the whole idea of adventure wrong. The predominant feeling from my five-day, 75-mile trek across the Finnmarksvidda plateau, dragging a sled on cross-country skis, was an acute sense of my own tininess. As our little herd quietly moved eastward through the unyielding white landscape, reliant on an almost-military set of routines, I felt mostly vulnerable and desperately dependent on my fellow travelers. One long lonely night, as the temperature dropped to minus 22 degrees, I found myself clammy and borderline feverish in an icy sleeping bag, my eyelashes frozen solid, wondering how long it would take for the remorselessly creeping chill to turn me into a well-preserved corpse. Until…

It’s tricky to pinpoint the exact moment a hotel first decided to flex its muscles, add another restaurant here and a catamaran there and become a resort. There were golf hotels at the turn of the 19th century, the safari camp made its debut in 1950 and Hotel Bora Bora pioneered the overwater bungalow in 1970. Right now, they look pretty appealing – all that space, a pool villa to yourself, enough social distance without missing out on people-watching… Understandable, then, that private-island resorts such as Fiji’s Kokomo and Naladhu in the Maldives performed well this year. As did safari lodges including Angama Mara and Singita Sabi Sand, American ranches, and hard-to-get-to places such as Brazil’s driftwoodluxe Uxua Casa, Six Senses Bhutan and the new Sensei Lanai in Hawaii. Elsewhere,…

STROLLING THROUGH ROWS OF DUSKY-BLUE ‘Jarrahdale’ pumpkins, ombré towers of mahogany-orange ‘Daybreaks’, and clusters of blotchy ‘Lunch Lady’ gourds on a crisp fall day at Gordon Skagit Farms, it’s easy to imagine one of the plump wares turning into Cinderella’s stagecoach and rolling off through the fields. Located in Mount Vernon, Washington, about an hour north of Seattle, the 300-acre family farm specializing in heirloom pumpkins, gourds, and squashes brims with magical potential this time of year. “I love fall—the colors, scents, landscape, and folklore,” says co-owner Eddie Gordon, whose grandparents bought the place in 1932 and whose parents grew a range of vegetables there. Today, he runs it with his older brother, Todd. One of his fondest childhood memories is of their mom, who still lives there at age…

i hubiera que jugársela a una sola carta, podríamos decir que el de la esquina de la calle Barquillo con Fernando VI es, a día de hoy, el local más cotizado de Madrid. Sobre lo que vendrá a esta antigua sucursal bancaria en pleno corazón de Salesas, hay conjeturas. Pero de lo que no hay duda es de que será algo grande. Ni de que hablamos del barrio más burbujeante de Madrid donde, día sí, día también, nacen proyectos contemporáneos y refrescantes con mucho diseño y un punto de sorpresa. Como Playback, el karaoke 'clandestino' que se esconde tras una conceptstore, o Jack's, la inesperada 'whiskería secreta' que surge de la floristería Bonsai. “AQUÍ HAY GENTE DE TODA PROCEDENCIA, ABIERTA A EXPERIENCIAS NUEVAS DE ALTA CALIDAD SIN FORMALISMOS”.

WHILE DOING MY USUAL LATE-NIGHT SOCIAL-media scroll, I came across a meme that stopped me in my tracks. ‘There are seven days in a week and “one day” isn’t one of them,’ it read. The words, in a galling loopy font, seemed irritatingly judgemental. But it also made me think. How do we decide what to do with the time we’re given? This seems to be the subject of the age as we juggle busy work schedules with wider questions around purpose and passion, trying to figure out how best to spend and optimise our hours on this Earth. It’s natural to kick off a new year by plotting out the future. But in this third year of a young decade that has kept us all on our toes, even the…

at the beginning of 2021, analysts predicted we’d be ending the year with a period of exuberance, glamour and frivolity akin to the last century’s Roaring Twenties. Those post-war years were defined by hedonism, pleasure and a keenness to celebrate life. Youth culture demanded new experiences, and the combination of women’s right to vote, the flourishing Jazz Age and technological advances certainly provided them. It marked the arrival of the independent, liberated flapper girls and the modern cosmetic industry as a new means of self-expression. Whether we’re on the verge of such a moment continues to be debated, but there is certainly optimism to be found in beauty’s current mood. Having pared back our make-up routines for the past year, this season’s collections are bright and bold, inspiring a painterly approach. Driven…

The effects of cyanide are so swift that there is but one historical account of its flavor, left behind in the early twenty-first century by an Indian goldsmith, thirty-two years old, who managed to write three lines after swallowing it: “Doctors, potassium cyanide. I have tasted it. It burns the tongue and tastes acrid.” The note was found in the hotel room he had rented for the purpose of taking his own life. The liquid form of the poison, known in Germany as Blausäure, or blue acid, is highly volatile: it boils at twenty-six degrees Celsius and gives off a slight aroma of almonds, which not everyone can distinguish, as doing so requires a gene absent in 40 percent of humans. This evolutionary caprice makes it likely that a significant…

Wise heads tell us we act first, or decide to act first, and reason afterward. What could be put down in black and white as to why we took up factory work is of minor value or concern. Yet everyone persists in asking why. Therefore, being curious, we decide to work in factories. So much of the technique of the world today we take as a matter of course. Clothes appear ready to put on our backs. As far as we know or care, angels left them on the hangers behind the mirrored sliding doors. Food is set on our tables ready to eat. It might as well have been created that way, for all our concern. Let’s poke behind the scenes a bit. Here is this enormous good-looking candy factory. On…

I lived at a state mental institution once. At, not in. My father—almost, it seemed, as if he were attempting to externalize a madness that had been flickering in his own brain for decades—lurched from family medicine into psychiatry in his forties. First there was private practice, soon aborted. Then a stint at a flatland hellhole for all the blasted addicts and harmless, homeless maunderers of north Texas, where time ticked and stopped and ticked like a hidden cricket, and even the slow, heat-warped air seemed sedated. Ever inclined to boredom, ever upping the ante, he began traveling one day a week to the State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, returning as becalmed and refreshed as if he’d been at a spa. He was at home there, my father, in…
