Church and Convent of St. Francis of...

November 18, 2024

In the heritage precinct of Old Goa, there are several buildings from the Portuguese Era. At its peak, Old Goa was called “Rome of the East.” Today, the monuments of Old Goa are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A short distance west of Se Cathedral stands a church and the Convent of St. Francis of Assisi. It is said that eight Portuguese Franciscan friars arrived in Goa in 1517 and secured a few houses from the then-governor. Eventually, they...

Universel Murad Hassil in Katwijk aan Zee,...

November 18, 2024

The Universel in Katwijk is a spiritual landmark situated in the dune-covered landscape near Katwijk. The building is connected to Sufism, a spiritual movement not connected to any one specific religious doctrine. This temple was built on the very spot where Sufi mystic Hazrat Inayat Khan had a profound spiritual experience in 1922. The building was designed by the Dutch architect S.J. van Embden in the late 1960s and opened in 1970. Van Embden was known for creating buildings...

Tumalo Falls in Bend, Oregon

November 18, 2024

The geology around Bend, Oregon, has been dominated by extensive volcanism over the last few million years. Repeated glacial advances and retreats have also extensively modified the terrain, and the interplay of these processes has led to spectacular scenery. Tumalo (pronounced “TUM-uh-loh”) Falls is an outstanding example. Located in a heavily forested area, this waterfall flows over an overhanging lip, made by a resistant lava flow, to drop freely almost 100 feet into a glacier-carved canyon. Scars from a...

November 18, 2024

This article is adapted from the November 18, 2024, edition of Gastro Obscura’s Favorite Things newsletter. You can sign up here. When I recently Googled “Thanksgiving salad,” the results were recipes for vibrant, fresh vegetable mixtures, thoughtfully tossed with seasonal nuts and savory dressings. This was not what I wanted to see. Googling “Thanksgiving salad with Cool Whip,” on the other hand, delivered the recipes I was looking for: the fanciful sweet salads that 20th-century Americans concocted out of...

Black and White House Museum in Hereford,...

November 18, 2024

This three-story black and white home, once called the Old House, was built in 1621. It almost appears striped, outfitted with dark wooden beams and white panels, typical of England’s Tudor and Stuart eras. Its upper floors jut out, making it a recognizable part of Hereford’s historic center. Originally it served as a home and shop for a butcher during the reign of James I, reflecting the wealth of local traders. The building features distinctive overhanging upper floors and...

The Vital Role of Revenue Management and...

November 16, 2024

It’s an antiquated idea that revenue management works independently from sales and marketing. Each department impacts the other and influences the hotel’s overall profitability. Every business goal contributes to the bottom line. When the revenue-generating departments work together on shared goals, they can contribute to a fatter bottom line. In today’s world, hotel bookings start The post The Vital Role of Revenue Management and Brand Reputation appeared first on Revfine.com.

Fat Bears and 5 Other Stories of...

November 15, 2024

As you prepare for the cold months to come, you can be glad you’re not a painted turtle—the species evolved to be freeze-tolerant and hatchlings spend winter just chillin’, literally, in sandy burrows—or a grotesquely engorged ant about to make the ultimate sacrifice to feed the colony. Instead, forage some of the last sweet berries, get your mind right for the dark winter, and enjoy these stories about preparing for the cold. All Winter, These Ants Make the Ultimate...

Grand Brasserie in New York, New York

November 13, 2024

It’s close to midnight. You’re stepping out of a Broadway theater and into the neon hellscape of Times Square. You’re hungry, and too dignified (and/or sober) to wait two hours for a slice of Joe’s Pizza. The Olive Garden, Hard Rock Cafe, and Margaritaville don’t enthrall you, despite their ability to seduce out-of-town masses. The Rum House, a perpetually mobbed piano bar, will require you to beg and bribe your way in. What’s a patron of the Midtown-based arts...

Edison Bamboo in Kawasaki, Japan

November 13, 2024

Thomas Edison is commonly credited as the inventor of the incandescent lightbulb, if somewhat controversially. Historians would agree that several scientists had invented working lightbulbs before Edison, and that the American inventor merely improved the functionality and reliability, getting his version patented. In school, Japanese children are often taught what a great figure he was, but they are seldom taught that the Japanese bamboo contributed greatly to the development of Edison’s electric lamp. In 1860, Joseph Swann invented an earlier...

Sunny the Sunfish in Onalaska, Wisconsin

November 13, 2024

As a state famous for its lakes, Wisconsin is often considered an angler’s paradise. It’s no surprise, then, that the state is also famous for its oversized fiberglass fish. Giant fish are found throughout the state, but one of the most picturesque, Sunny the Sunfish, can be found on a bluff overlooking Lake Onalaska. Lake Onalaska itself is not one of Wisconsin’s many glacial lakes. Instead, it’s a man-made lake, formed in April 1937 with the completion of Lock...

Racism and Sexism Claims Shake a Modern...

November 13, 2024

About two hours north of Montreal is a surprising village—one that’s quite different from the otherwise sleepy surroundings. Past the occasional Tim Hortons and just outside the town of Trois-Rivières, the road curves deep into the woods. Here, between the trees, visitors will find Tudor manors, Viking-style halls, and a jousting arena. This is Duché de Bicolline, or Duchy of Bicolline, the largest medieval-style settlement in North America—and one that’s still growing, both physically and philosophically. The Duchy, or...

'Myth (Sphinx)—Kate Moss' in Oslo, Norway

November 13, 2024

Oslo is a city teeming with public art, and one of its more unusual pieces can be found tucked away in a downtown passage. Since 2009, Myth (Sphinx)—Kate Moss, a 10-foot (three-meter) bronze sculpture of the British supermodel, painted in stark white and posed in a provocative yoga stance, has drawn considerable attention. In this sculpture, Moss—dressed only in a bikini—appears with her ankles contorted around her ears. Created by London-based artist Marc Quinn, the work is based on...
