Last week I posted a story about controversy on Manaslu involving climbers receiving summit certificates even though they hadn't reached the true summit of the mountain. That's because a number of climber – particularly on commercial teams – are unwilling to make the treacherous last push to the top along a very narrow and dangerous ridge. The video below, which was shot three years ago, gives you and indication of just how narrow that approach really is. As you'll see, there isn't much more than empty space surrounding the path to the summit. Читать дальше...

This just in from the Atlantic:

"Things change when the wife earns more than the husband. In that case, he does less than he otherwise would. In female-breadwinner households, the greater the income disparity, the less housework the husband does.

The Cassinos speculate that being out-earned by their wives threatens mens' masculinity, so they react by doing less cleaning, a stereotypically feminine task.

The only exception to ...

Is it really impossible to believe a good, hard-working and stubborn man in his late 50s, from the dark side of the Tyne-Wear divide, should be told by his doctor he cannot work after a heart attack and by benefits officers he cannot receive benefits because he is fit to work?

That is the nub of Ken Loach's I Daniel Blake, the film that won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, brought tears to my eyes in a London cinema and has attracted tribal attacks from right-wing commentators and... Читать дальше...

Every year the controversial reality show Bigg Boss gives a feast to the eyes by bringing in some hot models or actors from television and Bollywood. And this year the viewers have been blessed with a dusky beauty queen Lopamudra Raut. Since the first day of the show, she has been winning hearts with her performance, stands and expressing her views. We are totally in love with this beauty with brains and would want our readers to know more about her.

Whilst perusing Asda recently and looking for a "healthier" snacking option I came across some new products from a company called Great Food. They make "seriously tasty vegetarian food", a lot of which is vegan, dairy free and gluten free too. These Delicate Tuscan Vegetable Bites fall into the latter camp and are also soya free, nut free and even legume free. Woohoo, they've catered for pretty much every allergy!

When it comes to picking clothes to take with me on my travels, my favorite gear always have some similar traits. Typically, those garments perform at a high level, are versatile enough to wear in a number of different settings, and are of course comfortable to wear. It doesn't hurt if they look good too, and are highly packable so as to not take up too much room in my bags. Recently, I've discovered a new jacket ...

I took this photo last Saturday, Nov. 6, while walking it Liberty State Park in Jersey City. It is one of over 300 shots I took on that walk and is my current favorite, though I’ve not yet reviewed them all.
Why do I like it? Color, composition, textures, subject, all of it.
The southern end of the park has a small nature preserve that runs along the west bank of the Hudson River and includes a small salt marsh. I took this ...

In the last national election the US had the ninth-lowest voting rate among the 35 countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, most of whose members are highly developed, democratic states. Compared to our peers the United States historically hasn’t gotten as much voter engagement.

Now that I'm going into my 14th week of pregnancy this week, I wanted to share some favorites with you all on everything I'm loving during my first trimester with this little one. Most of them have been almost the same when I had Lily almost three years ago ( WHAT ! ) but some are different! It's so crazy with each pregnancy how things can be the same or not! Anyways, here are a few of my favorite things!

To crunch or not to crunch. That is your choice with this amazingly easy and tasty English banana bread! When I say crunch, I'm talking about the topping that is optional that you can put on top when baking. It's a simple step that uses a little more butter, brown sugar and chopped walnuts, all ingredients in the batter.

Hello everyone, I hope all is well with you. I’m back today with another Slice of Life Post. Today is Election Day for our country and I’m hoping everyone gets out to vote. I feel like this year is an important year, I’m not sure why I feel that way, but I do. It’s intuitive so I’m following my instincts.

Yesterday I shared this year’s Thanksgiving tablescape, have you gotten a chance to check it out? The more I share photos the more I love it. It’s easily become one of my favorite holiday stylings. The look is organic and soft with lots of light colors and touches of gold. Pretty cream roses, deeply hued leaves, and delicate sage – the makings of a beautiful Thanksgiving centerpiece…

High summer in Scotland. Days of rain, and days of grey, and weird, unseasonably chilly days, and then the occasional jewel comes along. A day of warm sunshine and breezes when, after work, we pick chard or courgettes from the garden, lament the woeful state of the tomatoes, and sit outside to eat with swallows [...]
