Meliponicultura in Rancho Grande Valle Nacional in...

May 23, 2022

Of the eight recognized species of honeybee in the world, none are native to North America. The ubiquitous and indispensable western honey bee (Apis mellifera) is actually an immigrant from Eurasia, introduced to the Americas by European colonists in the 17th century. There are, however, honey-producing bee species native to Central and South America, and you can visit an apiary showcasing six of them at La Meliponicultura in Mexico‘s Rancho Grande Valle Nacional. Many of these native bee species...

Sonic Runway in San Jose, California

May 23, 2022

A series of 25 large metal circles that stand in front of San Jose’s City Hall look totally innocuous in the daytime, but turn into a skater and photographer’s magnet at night. Zooming through the tunnel at speed almost feels like zipping through a wormhole, and synchronized music timed to the rippling lights makes for a trippy experience. Said tunnel is called the Sonic Runway, which was developed and installed by a group of engineers, animators, and artists. The...

Okochi Sanso Gardens in Kyoto, Japan

May 23, 2022

The Okochi Sanso gardens are located right inside the Arashiyama bamboo forest in northwest Kyoto, accessible through a small gate.

The area is meticulously tended to...

Mt. Irish Petroglyphs in Alamo, Nevada

May 23, 2022

The petroglyphs, pottery shards, and other items found at the site are believed to date back to between 1-1500 CE. The petroglyphs are carved into the rocks, where the so-called desert varnish is removed from the stone to reveal brighter colored rock beneath. Most of the...

Strawberry Curry Is a Modern Twist on...

May 20, 2022

Every year, during the weekend of Wimbledon tennis finals, I make a curry from the two ingredients most strongly associated with the championships: strawberries and cream. It’s my way of celebrating a British summertime tradition with a contemporary Indian touch, but the curry is not my original idea. It’s based on a vague memory of a strawberry curry I ate around 15 years ago at The Painted Heron, a Modern Indian restaurant in Chelsea, in West London, that has...

Meet the Mettigel, Germany's Hedgehog Sculpted From...

May 20, 2022

Some people bake cakes for festive occasions; others put out chips and dip. Leonie Schreiber, a 33-year-old copywriter and designer from Cologne, takes about a pound of uncooked, lightly seasoned ground pork, forms the meat into an oblong shape and sticks it all over with onion slices until it’s covered in “spines.” A couple of olives, capers, or peppercorns for eyes and a nose, and the illusion is complete. That’s right: it wouldn’t be a German party without a...

6 Unexpected Treasures Found in Curious Places

May 20, 2022

In 2018, at a Goodwill store in Austin, Texas, a marble bust of a dour-looking man caught antique dealer Laura Young’s eye. She liked the look of him and bought the bust for $34.99, dubbing it “Dennis” after the self-obsessed character Dennis Reynolds in It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Young guessed the statue was old, but never imagined it was a 2,000-year-old original. A Greek sculpture expert at Sotheby’s deduced that Dennis was actually a Roman bust of Germanicus,...

Why Revenue Management Systems Will Never Replace...

May 13, 2022

When the desktop computer came along, it needed human input. It’s no different with an RMS (revenue management system.) Even an AI-enabled RMS can’t think independently (and that’s a good thing!)
