THROW SOME SHADE: “The sun can damage your lens and retina, just like it can damage your skin,” explains the American Academy of Ophthalmology. To protect your peepers outdoors, wear a wide-brimmed hat and sunglasses. Look for a pair that block out 99 to 100 percent of both UVA and UVB radiation. GIVE IT A REST: According to the NIH’s National Eye Institute, “If you spend a lot of time at the computer or focusing on any one thing, you sometimes forget to blink and your eyes can get fatigued. Try the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look away about 20 feet in front of you for 20 seconds.” EAT RIGHT: It’s no old wives’ tale. “Carrots, which contain vitamin A, are indeed good for the eyes,” explain the folks at Harvard…

THIS YEAR’S energy shock is the most serious since the Middle Eastern oil crises of 1973 and 1979. Like those calamities, it promises to inflict short-term pain and in the longer term to transform the energy industry. The pain is all but guaranteed: owing to high fuel and power prices, most countries are facing soggy growth, inflation, squeezed living standards and a savage political backlash. But the long-run consequences are far from preordained. If governments respond ineptly, they could trigger a relapse towards fossil fuels that makes it even harder to stabilise the climate. Instead they must follow a perilous path that combines security of energy supply with climate security. In Europe what was long imagined as a nightmare of freezing midwinter nights has instead erupted as a midsummer fever dream.…

Of all the things I’ve done in my career, getting my first rock’n’roll group together was right up there amongst the most difficult. Even without a full-time band behind me, I was still performing my spots at the Red Lion pub in Brentford, and on Sunday lunchtimes playing at The Adam & Eve in Hayes, Middlesex. Most of the Fuller’s chain of pubs in the late 60s were only interested in putting on country and western bands – they were very popular back then – and I caught a number of them, too, but never performed with any of them. Some of my friends were into both country and rock’n’roll and eventually I was introduced to piano player Trevor Hawkins, who excelled at R&B and rock’n’roll. He was interested in putting a…

Even in the dark theater, Pam Hambach felt the eyes of everyone in attendance as she shifted back and forth, trying to shoehorn her body into the too-tight seat. As the tension built, she wondered, How did I let myself get to this point? “Diets did not work for me,” reveals Pam, thinking of the list that rolled as long as movie credits. Each fad left her starving and reaching for salty snacks. She shares, “The more I deprived myself, the more cravings I had.” But everything changed when Pam started eating protein-rich breakfasts. “I was never hungry. I just never had an issue with feeling starved.” Pam lost 13 pounds the first month, thanks to those fruit smoothies with 33 grams of protein, made with either pea protein or whey protein…

Politics Battling the fallout from parties held at Downing Street during covid-19 lockdowns, Boris Johnson, Britain’s prime minister, won a snap no-confidence vote among Conservative MPs. But more than 40% of his own MPs voted against him, severely denting his authority. The party’s rules prevent another formal challenge to Mr Johnson’s leadership for a year. But Mr Johnson’s opponents note that his support was weaker than that accorded Theresa May in a similar vote in 2018, as her premiership floundered. Six months later, she quit. Sweden’s governing Social Democrats won what was in effect a no-confidence vote, but only by securing the co-operation of an independent MP of Kurdish descent by reaffirming their support for a Kurdish group in Syria. That further complicates relations with Turkey, which has said it will block…

When Jennifer Pastiloff was eight years old, she got into an argument with her dad over smoking. He’d promised to quit his four-packs-a-day habit but wasn’t following through. She flushed a load of his menthol cigarettes down the toilet. ‘I told him he always broke promises, and I said, “I hate you!” the way young kids do in those situations,’ says Jennifer. ‘It wouldn’t have been that big a deal, but it ended up being the last thing I said to him.’ He died from a widow-maker heart attack shortly after, aged just 38. ‘I thought I had caused the stress that killed him,’ she says. ‘I was so ashamed that I wouldn’t allow myself to grieve; I thought I didn’t deserve to be a person. I developed anorexia as I…

Gravel grinders are popping up faster than many cyclists can keep track of. With so many options out there, how do you choose the right one for you? Before signing up, here are a few things to keep in mind. LOCATION // Choosing an event closer to home is a great way to start, as you may be able to preride the course if it’s open to the public. Preriding can help you determine what type of gear will be best for the terrain, how much fuel and hydration you may need, and how to navigate tricky sections. “The day of the event can be overwhelming, but you’ll find a little peace knowing what the start and finish are like,” says Cynthia Frazier, race promoter for Gravista in Buena Vista, Virginia. SEASON…

Under a popular marketing strategy, managers use prices just below a round number—like $9.99, $79.95, and $399,990—because consumers tend to perceive items to be less expensive than if they were a few cents or dollars higher. New research finds an important exception: If you’re seeking to upsell customers, setting the price of the basic option at or just above a round number gets better results. The researchers set up a coffee stand on a college campus and varied the prices of a small and a large coffee over the course of two days. Some passersby saw a base price of $.95 and $1.20 for the upgrade, while others saw prices of $1.00 and $1.25. Just 29% of purchasers who saw the first set of prices bought the large coffee, versus 56%…

Indeed, everything has changed over the decades. From how we stay in touch with family and friends, purchasing patterns of goods and services, to information search on health problems. As the world moves ahead with advanced technology, we are experiencing various challenges health-wise. One must be glad to know that modern life challenges are compromised with innovative solutions that are available in every possible way. When the outbreak of the SARS-Cov-2 Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) struck, public health became a high level international concern. In the midst of a global pandemic, technological advances provided new options such as telehealth. There are a variety of telehealth tools available to help us manage our health and receive the services we need. The question here is, do we know enough about telehealth and are…

WHEN THEY vote in a presidential run-off election this weekend Colombians face a grim choice between two illqualified populists. On the left, Gustavo Petro has still not wholly shaken off his long-standing sympathy for Hugo Chávez, the caudillo who destroyed Venezuela’s economy and its democracy. On the right, Rodolfo Hernández is a bullying former mayor with no team and not much of a programme beyond expelling “the thieves”, as he calls the political class. This line-up reflects voters’ deep scorn for Colombia’s mainstream politicians, even though the country has done relatively well over the past 20 years. It is the kind of polarised choice that has become worryingly familiar in Latin American elections. In a region that was discontented even before the pandemic, there no longer seem to be many…

I VIVIDLY REMEMBER my first Miami Vice. The time was high summer, the place was Martell’s Tiki Bar, on the boardwalk in Point Pleasant, New Jersey. I had recently turned 21 and was just starting to explore the world of cocktails. The setting called for a frozen drink, but I couldn’t decide between the piña colada and the strawberry daiquiri. Seeing me stuck at a crossroads, the waiter recommended, “Why not have both?” Puzzled, I told him I didn’t want to order two drinks. He pointed me to the Miami Vice, a drink combining the piña colada and the strawberry daiquiri and topped with dark rum. I gave it a try. Bands of white and red swirled around each other in the icy cup, making the palms of my hands…

BLACK DOG & LEVENTHAL PUBLISHERS ★★★★★ In the six years since David Bowie’s death, there’s been no shortage of material celebrating his life, career and legacy. While most of the titles have tended to fall into one of two camps – the exhaustive biographies or the glossy, oversize photobooks, David Bowie: All The Songs shifts the focus solely onto the music, presenting itself as a meticulously researched encyclopedia of all of David Jones’ recorded output from his pre-Bowie recordings of the 60s to his death and beyond. All The Songs: The Story Behind Every Track fulfils the title’s promise – and then some. Every song – via singles, albums, soundtracks, collaborations – is included, with each entry including the date and location of recording, the musicians used, the producer and…

‘I think curiosity and stubbornness are what drive me,’ says Melanie Smith, the CEO of Ocado Retail and one of an elite group of women who have visited every country in the world. ‘I must have been about 30 when I came up with the idea, and I remember my boyfriend at the time saying, “You’re never going to be able to do that.” So I thought to myself, well, there’s a nice challenge!’ Fifteen years and 197 countries later, in 2019, Smith celebrated the completion of a journey of discovery that has left her with not only numerous stamps in her passport, but also a clearer sense of perspective, an open mind and a willingness to take chances. ‘I always return from a trip happy, with lots of energy,’ she…

Day By Day His son, Matteo, will celebrate his second birthday on July 31, but Artem Chigvintsev isn’t worried about the dreaded “terrible twos.” “You know, I’ve heard so many different stories.

Back in the o-l-d days of publishing (our Editorial Content Chief had just started at WOOD® magazine, sweeping the shop), printers sorted lead blocks of lettering for printing presses in trays such as this one, earning the drawers the moniker “printer’s trays.” As technology made this storage obsolete, the compartmentalized trays became prized by collectors to display miniatures and other small items. Finding an authentic antique printer’s tray in good condition can be difficult and costly. Luckily, with a few evenings of work, you can create a new one. Start With a Super-simple Box 1 Cut the sides (A) and top and bottom (B) to size [Materials List, Exploded View]. Rabbet one edge of all pieces, then rabbet the ends of the sides. Finish-sand the inside faces. 2 Glue the top and bottom between…

THE MOTIVATION to launch GQ’s first metaverse issue started back in December. I was in Miami, hosting a GQ party during Art Basel, and whether you were walking on the beach, browsing the fair, sitting in a meeting, or art-partying under the winter moon, all anybody seemed to be talking about was cryptocurrency, NFTs, and Web3. One afternoon at the fair, I overheard a gallerist implore friends who had stopped by her booth to ask her about anything on earth except goddamn NFTs. (She was selling paintings.) I sat in on a meeting where an executive at one of the big emergent metaverse platforms pitched his vision to a world-famous musician. Meanwhile, I ran into another guy who works in the music business – but was expanding. “Will,” he said, with…

Jim Rhon famously said, “We become the average of the five people we spend the most time around.” When you think about those who surround you in your life, who comes to mind? You might think about relationships with partners, family, co-workers, neighbours or even the person who serves you coffee in the morning. However, do you include the most important relationship – the relationship you have with yourself? Ultimately, the dynamic within the relationship to ourselves heavily influences all of these other connections. It is, after all, the longest relationship we will have, yet for many of us, we find ourselves putting it at the bottom of our list of priorities. In marriage or civil partnerships, we make a legal promise to care for the other person in all eventualities,…

If a heart attack isn’t documented, did it really happen? For an artificial intelligence program, the answer may very well be “no.” Every year, an estimated 170,000 people in the United States experience asymptomatic — or “silent” — heart attacks. During these events, patients likely have no idea that a blockage is keeping blood from flowing or that vital tissue is dying. They won’t experience any chest pain, dizziness or trouble breathing. They don’t turn beet red or collapse. Instead, they may just feel a bit tired, or have no symptoms at all. While the patient might not realize what happened, the underlying damage can be severe and long-lasting: People who suffer silent heart attacks are at higher risk for coronary heart disease and stroke, and are more likely to…
