The California Gold Rush changed the country forever. 300,000 people came from across the US and every corner of the world to strike it rich. Dozens of towns sprang up overnight in what was once the backwaters of Mexico, sparsely populated with Native Americans. While the 1849 Gold Rush had terrible consequences for the indigenous people, a fact that can’t be overstated, The Rush is what gave California its foundation as the most diverse state in the country, its entrepreneurial spirit, and its love of adventure.To get back to California’s Wild West roots and many of my favorite places as…

One of my favorite holiday traditions hands DOWN is the annual dinner party we host for the same group of friends in the week leading up to Christmas. There’s something about that time that feels magical. Since I’m more interested in kicking back with my friends than standing around the stove all night, I’ve come to rely on a few standby recipes that feel special enough for the holidays but can be made entirely in advance. These are recipes that lend themselves to large-batch cooking for a crowd. Of the various dishes I’ve made through the years, it’s this sweet…
China said on Monday it has launched an investigation into Nvidia over suspected violations of the country’s anti-monopoly law, in a move widely seen as a retaliatory shot against Washington’s latest curbs on the Chinese chip sector. The statement from the State Administration for Market Regulation announcing the probe did not elaborate on how the U.S. company, known for its artificial intelligence and gaming chips, might have violated China’s anti-monopoly laws.It said the U.S. chipmaker was also suspected of violating commitments it made during its acquisition of Israeli chip designer Mellanox Technologies under terms outlined in the regulator’s 2020 conditional…
Joel Klatt Lead College Football Analyst Finally, the 12-team College Football Playoff is here.I love this for the sport and the introduction of the expanded postseason field led to a great regular season. It led to more meaningful games over the year as more teams were in the playoff hunt throughout the season. But that doesn’t mean I don’t have some issues with the field and the setup of the bracket, which I was reminded of after the reveal of the 12-team field on Sunday. While I don’t think it’s broken, there are a couple of issues I have with…

We may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article. I’m grateful for my AM self. It’s thanks to her morning discipline that I consistently make it to my pilates classes or my early work calls. Before decision fatigue sets in, she ensures I take my supplements and have a protein-packed breakfast. Bonus: her outfits haven’t been stained, crinkled, victim to the 2 p.m. slump. She makes the hard choices that set me up for considered, productive days. And even though my nighttime self can be exhausted and most often found wrapped…
Portugal’s picturesque capital is one of my favorite cities in the world. I always enjoy my time wandering its labyrinthine streets, enjoying the stunning ocean views, and sipping an endless flow of wine. Perched on the southern edge of the country’s west coast, Lisbon (or Lisboa, as the locals call it) offers an amazing blend of museums, historic landmarks, eclectic music scenes, vibrant nightlife, charming plazas, and cozy cafés. I fell in love with the city the moment I arrived. In recent years, Lisbon has become more popular, driven by its affordable cost of living and pleasant year-round weather. It’s…
There’s been a growing shift in the fitness, health, and wellness industry. The promise of “immediate results” will probably never lose its sparkle. But, as a good portion of our population (hi, Boomers!) moves into their “silver” years, conversations around optimizing lifespan (how long you live) and healthspan (how long you live with a high quality of life) are also on the rise. People are more interested than ever in longevity, which, these days, means the combination of a long lifespan and a long healthspan. (Historically, longevity and lifespan were synonymous.) Trending too is the concept of biological age—essentially, how…
