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…

¿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…

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…

“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.

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…

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,…

THERE’S A MONUMENTAL beauty to the Faeroes, a necklace of 18 volcanic isles in the North Atlantic between Norway, Scotland, and Iceland. Jagged cliffs drop into fjords, waterfalls spray toward the sky on gusty winds, and thick fog envelops stark moorlands (the Faeroese language has 40 words for the meteorological phenomenon). It’s tempting to get lost amid these landscapes while imagining yourself a shepherd or a Viking settler. But with the recent debuts of smart hotels, gourmet restaurants, and charming cafés—plus a maze of roads, bridges, and tunnels connecting the islands—it’s worth seeing what modernity has to offer, too. This road-trip itinerary winds around three of the archipelago’s largest islands, combining sights that are new, ancient, and otherworldly. DAY 1 Home to the main airport, Vágar Island has six villages, the smallest…

In November 2022, Swiss scientists opened an eagerly awaited package from rural Ethiopia. It was full of shit. For two months, public health researcher Abdifatah Muhummed had been collecting stool samples from children in a remote, pastoralist community in Ethiopia’s Somali Region, as part of a global effort to catalog and preserve the diversity of human gut bacteria. He split each sample into four tubes, froze them at -80°C, and shipped two of them to Europe. Trillions of bacteria, fungi and other microbes live in the digestive tract. Many of them are beneficial to human health—influencing our metabolism and immune system, for example. But their diversity is under threat from industrialization, urbanization and environmental changes. When Muhummed analyzed some of the samples he’d collected—culturing them in petri dishes and adding a dye…

4. CON UN VESTIDOR EN EL CENTRO Sin zonas de paso Para optimizar al máximo el espacio de este dormitorio, la decoradora Laura Ehlis habilitó en la zona intermedia entre la cama y el baño un completo vestidor. "Como el paso que quedaba era amplio, completé el frente de armarios con un módulo bajo que destiné a pantalonero. Además, resulta muy cómodo como repisa para dejar la ropa mientras te cambias, da más intimidad al vestidor y delimita el acceso al baño". Baño en suite La decoradora lo integró en el dormitorio para ganar amplitud y confort, y lo separó con una corredera empotrada: "Ayuda a flexibilizar el espacio y cuando está abierta, regala más profundidad al dormitorio, ya que ves el espacio de punta a punta".

Si el dormitorio es oscuro... PINTA Y DUPLICA LA LUZ ELIGE COLORES CLAROS ¿Un secreto de interiorista? Nos gusta combinar neutros, como el beige, con el blanco. Así, las paredes y los techos nos ayudan a que la poca luz natural que entra se refleje y dé más sensación de claridad. Los tonos piedra, verdes y azules claros, combinados siempre con el techo y las carpinterías en blanco, son imprescindibles. Te quedará elegante y agradable. CAMUFLA LOS MUEBLES ¿De qué color son tus muebles? Lo mejor es que sean del mismo tono que la pared. Nuestro consejo: pinta el mobiliario que sea la base de la habitación, como estanterías, cabeceros de obra y muebles empotrados. Así crearás un ambiente de calma y luz. PON LUCES INDIRECTAS Un error habitual en un dormitorio oscuro es…

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…

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.

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,…

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. His net worth also reached…

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…

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…

YOU HEAR Fallingwater long before you see it. This should come as little surprise, given the house’s name and its position over the cascade of a rushing stream, but it surprised me nonetheless. I had traveled to the Pennsylvania home designed by Frank Lloyd Wright with my architect brother Ben. As Wright followers, we’d dreamed of making this pilgrimage since we were kids. When the two of us approached the house, the sound of the brook bubbled up the curving, tree-shrouded driveway that preceded our first glimpse of the building—just as Wright intended. This slow reveal is exactly what his client, the retail tycoon Edgar J. Kaufmann, would have seen when the home was completed in 1937. When the building eventually came into view, at the end of the long path, it…

Desde que era niña siempre me han encantado las casitas de muñecas y mi sueño era vivir en una de ellas. Cuando vi esta casa, me pareció un cuento de hadas, con la hiedra que trepaba por esta fachada de madera azulada y que yo veía como un porche de cine americano. Después supe que el azul era el color original de la casa y descubrí que los anteriores propietarios la habían hecho con materiales que llegaron desde Canadá en 1988. Era como una película y me cautivó la idea de dar vida a mi casita en un sitio tan especial. Hacía ya algún tiempo que parte de mi sueño se había cumplido junto a Javi, mi marido. Tenemos dos niños preciosos, un perrito y ahora llegaba una casa de…

La casa está rodeada por un frondoso jardín con rosales, viñedos y jazmines antiguos Vr ienes con nosotros a la Provenza francesa? Nos escapamos al Parque Nacional del Luberon a visitar esta romántica casa donde el tiempo parece haberse detenido. Es de película: una granja del s. XVIII que en los años 90 la interiorista France Loeb y el pintor Michel Loeb se ocuparon de recuperar. De hecho, la decoración que encontramos está casi como la dejaron ellos, aunque luego otra pareja francesa compró la casa. “France incorporó piedra de la Provenza, barandas y pilares antiguos y subrayó el espíritu romántico de la construción. Nosotros lo hemos continuado, añadiendo nuestro carácter”, nos explicaba su actual propietaria. Bautizada con un nombre muy literario –‘La Ferme du Bon Dieu’, la granja del buen Dios–,…

MUY LUMINOSO Este pasillo ha pasado de oscuro y estrecho a ser luminoso y más amplio gracias a una sencilla reforma: sustituir el tabique de la cocina por una pared acristalada. De este modo, el espacio se ensancha visualmente y tiene mucha más luz. También han ayudado la combinación de carpinterías y molduras en blanco con paredes en beige, así como prescindir de la puerta en el arco. SÚPER ELEGANTE Las molduras y el color blanco son los protagonistas en el pasillo de este piso centenario. Es un pasillo clásico, luminoso y cálido. Las molduras decoran las paredes y las puertas, y en el techo lo hacen las cornisas y los rosetones sobre las lámparas, de aire vintage. La calidez la pone el suelo de roble natural y el cerramiento de cristal deja…

¿Cómo diseñar la piscina ideal? 1 La ubicación Debes asegurarte de que la piscina disfrutará de sol todo el día. Si tienes árboles cerca, sitúa-la al sur de estos y no le harán sombra. La cercanía de los árboles tampoco es recomendable porque sus hojas ensucian mucho el agua y sus raíces pueden dañar el vaso de la piscina y, a la larga, derivar en grietas. Construir una piscina será más sencillo si dispones de un terreno bien nivelado y sin muchas rocas. 2 Las medidas El tamaño estándar es de entre 8-10 m de largo por 4-5 de ancho. Si tu objetivo es practicar natación entonces dale el mayor largo posible. Ten en cuenta que los diseños curvos cuestan un 15% más. 3 ¿Hay desnivel? Si la parcela es llana puedes situar…

NO RENUNCIES A ELLAS Porque te abrigan: "Un suelo sin alfombra es... ¡un suelo desnudo! Vístelo. Le darás textura y calidez, y además, lo aislarás del frío".

Porque son mágicas: "Delimitan espacios y los transforman sin obras. Un ejemplo: una alfombra clara agranda las estancias". EN EL RECIBIDOR La mejor alfombra para decir ¡hola! Abres la puerta de tu casa... y ahí está, dispuesta a que entres con buen pie. ¿Sabes qué debes pedirle a la alfombra del recibidor?

Yo recomiendo a todo el mundo que, si va a reformar, todo lo decida sobre plano… Y por supuesto, que llamen a Asun Antó”, opina simpática Carolina, la dueña de este piso en Sant Cugat.

La varita mágica de Asun, que maneja bien las ideas prácticas y una estética luminosa y serena, se aprecia nada más entrar el salón. “En esta zona bajamos los techos unos 30 centímetros para esconder bien las instalaciones, colocar los puntos de luz donde nos interesaba…

In 2018, Marci Wilhelm, after the $195 million sale of the health-care company she’d helped found, decided to celebrate by taking a trip from her Florida home to Nantucket. She and her husband chartered a plane through Air America Flight Services Inc. and planned to stop in South Carolina to pick up friends along the way. What Wilhelm didn’t know was that the plane, a Dassault Falcon 50 business jet, was overdue for dozens of routine maintenance tasks and had malfunctioning brakes, and it never should’ve been in service, according to investigators and court records. When the jet touched down on the runway in Greenville, South Carolina, the pilots realized something was terribly wrong. “Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Where are the brakes? Where are the brakes?” said lead pilot John…

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…

ESTRELAS MICHELIN 1/VILA JOYA O Vila Joya é uma das maiores jóias gastronómicas do Algarve. Vale a pena a experiência memorável que se vive neste restaurante com duas estrelas Michelin e que conta aos comandos com o mestre Dieter Koschina, de talento ilimitado. Diariamente, é criado um menu com produtos frescos da estação e um nível de execução técnica que deixa qualquer um sem palavras, saboreando cada minuto pela sapidez e criatividade em cada prato, pensado até ao mínimo detalhe.

Ao jantar, a opção é o Signature Menu, com pratos pelo preço de 215 euros. O segundo restaurante, mais recente, com propostas mais…

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. Generalizando, e todos sabemos que as generalizações são questionáveis, o Alentejo trouxe contemporaneidade aos vinhos portugueses sob diferentes prismas. 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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Hot Tots The marshmallow-topped mash that typically appears on the dinner table practically tastes like dessert, so why not go all the way? In this one-layer cake, sweet potatoes are gussied up with pumpkin-pie spice, that beloved blend of ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves. A frosting of Italian meringue mimics the usual pillows, minus the cloying sweetness; just pipe it on in chubby rows with tight switchbacks. Last but far from least, lightly toast the top with a wave of your kitchen torch or a quick blast in the broiler. Luxe Layers To make this knockout, clear some counter space for a springform pan (whose sides come away from the base), a food processor (to blitz the chocolate wafers for the crust), and a mixer (to beat the cheesecake ingredients). Do not…

A GLOBETROTTER’S GUIDE TO THE LATEST IN TRAVEL SOMETIMES, even the best vacations require a bit of work. To reach Virgin Gorda, most travelers fly first to Puerto Rico, then to Tortola and, finally, hop on a ferry. Or there’s a slightly easier route: a flight to St. Thomas followed by a seaplane to Virgin Gorda. Why would any rational mother of a rambunctious four-year-old bother with either option for a three-night getaway? When I heard that Rosewood Little Dix Bay had finally reopened after a four-year closure, I threw all caution to the wind. Little Dix isn’t just any cookie-cutter resort. It’s the kind of place where brilliant stars help light your way at night, pink honeysuckle grows in abundance, and staff members stay for decades. My last visit was a…

Data scattered everywhere. Internal voyeurs. Sabotaged accounts. Backdoor schemes. For years, the retail giant has been keeping something from you: It’s handled your information much less carefully than it handles your packages. A special report from Reveal and wired. On September 26, 2018, a row of tech executives filed into a marble- and wood-paneled hearing room and sat down behind a row of tabletop microphones and tiny water bottles. They had all been called to testify before the US Senate Commerce Committee on a dry subject—the safekeeping and privacy of customer data—that had recently been making large numbers of people mad as hell. Committee chair John Thune, of South Dakota, gaveled the hearing to order, then began listing events from the past year that had shown how an economy built on data can go luridly wrong.…

QUÉ CUIDADOS TENER ESTE MES • Plantas de interior. En primavera suben las temperaturas, por eso debes aumentar el riego, pero sin excesos para evitar hongos. • Pulveriza las hojas para mantener la humedad. • Plantas de exterior. Puedes plantar flores de verano como las zinnias o los jazmines y bulbosas como dalias y azucenas. • Elimina las ramas dañadas de los arbustos que hayan florecido. • También hay que podar árboles y trepadoras. Y no te olvides de abonar los rosales. ¿REGAR O PULVERIZAR? ¿QUÉ ES MEJOR? • Regar las plantas es básico. Siempre necesitan absorber el agua a través del sustrato. • Pulverizar las hojas es un complemento al riego para las especies que necesitan más hidratación. Los cactus y las suculentas no lo necesitan. • Para saber cuándo regar, toca la tierra y comprueba la humedad.…

¿QUÉ MATERIAL ELEGIR? 1. LAMINADOS SINTÉTICOS ¿Buscas una opción con variedad de colores y texturas, resistente, fácil de limpiar, y a ser posible económica? Los laminados de alta presión –conocidos como formica– son la respuesta. Si quieres muebles con molduras o brillantes, es mejor un laminado de PVC. ¿Nuestro consejo? Ponlo solo en puertas lisas y con juntas visibles, con cantos discretos y sello antihumedad. 2. SUPERFICIES LACADAS Con una variedad de colores enorme, los laca-dos ganan puntos por su estética. En mate o brillo, la laca se aplica en sucesivas capas por ambos lados del tablero y los cantos, lo que les otorga un acabado uniforme. El laborioso proceso encarece estos muebles, que generalmente están compuestos por un tablero aglomerado, resistente a la humedad. 3. MADERA NATURAL Bella y atemporal, la madera es un material vivo que crea…

En Toledo, pero entre Extremadura y Ávila y con unas vistas espectaculares a Gredos, esta casa rústica es de nueva construcción y pone el acento en la comodidad, en la vida familiar y la ecología. “Queríamos una casa respetuosa, que pasara inadvertida en el paisaje. Por eso se hizo de cubierta plana, tapada por enredaderas que dan frescura en verano y en invierno se deshojan para que el sol caliente el interior, y con fachadas del color de los alcornoques cuando se descorchan. Tenemos placas solares, la calefacción es con leña de la finca y se cría carne orgánica de la raza wagyu y angus”, nos cuenta Javier, el propietario de la casa, que se puede alquilar a través de Wishome.es. “No soy arquitecto ni paisajista, pero me encanta todo lo…

Al encontrar esta casa, se alinearon todos los astros. Y así lo explica María Lizarraga, interiorista de Ikea y propietaria, que nos demuestra cómo se puede conseguir una casa confortable y bien decorada a buen precio, si te fijas en algunas pocas claves. “Cuando llegué, la única propiedad que estaba en venta era esta. Tiene forma de granero americano y era el sueño de cualquier interiorista. La estructura de 190 m2 estaba reformada, sin embargo, había que rehabilitar el interior. Así que contacté con el constructor Jimmy Suárez de Puga y nos lanzamos”, explica. Su objetivo era una casa abierta con vistas al jardín y un porche que sirva de salón y comedor exterior. “Las casas de Cantabria suelen tener colores oscuros y ventanas pequeñas”, nos explica María. Pero la suya…

Reintroducing marsh grasshoppers to restored wetland sites across their historic range can bring huge benefits to ecosystems and food chains, says Citizen Zoo’s 30-year-old CEO Lucas Ruzo. “We came up with this citizen keeper concept, normal people being zookeepers in their homes, rearing grasshoppers,” he says. After a crash-course in grasshopper husbandry, a group of about a dozen zookeepers were given a kit that included between 30 and 50 eggs, a heat-emitting incandescent bulb and a glass enclosure. “It’s as simple as a light bulb and then a jar of fresh grass every morning,” says Ruzo. Each keeper can raise a brood every four weeks, which are then released at two secret locations. Since the first release in Norfolk in 2019, several hundred hand-reared grasshoppers have helped to build self-sustaining wild populations. This…

LA REFORMA ESTRELLA: DE BAÑERA A DUCHA POR QUÉ DUCHA Una ducha es más cómoda, accesible y fácil de limpiar que una bañera. Al eliminar las barreras arquitectónicas son también más seguras y fáciles de acceder. El baño resultará más espacioso y se gana en ligereza visual. Sin barreras Cuanto más fino sea el plato, mejor será su accesibilidad para personas mayores y de movilidad reducida. Encuentras variedad de diseños y tamaños que se adaptan a tu espacio y pueden encargarse a medida. CÓMO ES TU BAÑO Si es pequeño, lo más recomendable es un plato de ducha cuadrado o en ángulo –de forma curva–, para aprovechar mejor el espacio. Si lo eliges de un color que combine con el resto del baño, quedará más disimulado. En baños grandes Lo más habitual es colocar un plato…

Qatar’s bid to host this year’s FIFA World Cup was controversial from the start. Beyond objections to the country’s history of human-rights abuses, there were also the searing temperatures and the sheer logistical challenges to consider: one outdated stadium, few hotels and zero experience with mass tourism. Nothing, it turns out, that immense sums of money couldn’t address. Twelve years after winning the rights to host the tournament and $300 billion later, the tiny gas-rich nation is ready to host the best players in men’s soccer and about a million of their biggest fans. There are seven new stadiums, 20,000 new hotel rooms, a new metro and more than 1,100 miles of new roads, the culmination of a decade of nonstop construction and investment. Qatar’s spending on sports isn’t confined to the…
