For a man who called himself “a Theodore Roosevelt guy,” Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke seems to have remarkably little interest in championing the 26th president’s best idea—the National Park System (NPS). According to the Washington Post, nine of the twelve members of the National Park System Advisory Board handed in their resignations earlier this week, out of frustration for Zinke’s refusing to meet with them for the past year and for ignoring the mission of the park system....

The 65 Best Surf Spots in the World Read article Koxa made his incredible ride on November 8, 2017, but the WSL only officially confirmed the record on Saturday....

It is the perfect season for boots. No matter the style, a pair of boots is more fitting for this season than it was just a month ago. Boots are a little heavier and nobody wants anything more weighing them down in the summer heat. Even the styles of boots that are good for work can be ignored during the summer for this reason. There’s just no need. But now, the sky is the limit the styles of boots one can break out and rock in the fall weather....

Superstar actor Vin Diesel has built himself quite the career in Hollywood. He’s also built some of the biggest muscles.

Here’s another reason to back away from food born and raised in factories: Emulsifiers, the ingredients added to processed foods like ice cream and peanut butter to improve texture and extend their shelf life, dramatically increase gut inflammation, which then ups your risk for developing chronic conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease or metabolic syndrome, according to research from Georgia State University. In the study, researchers used lab equipment that simulates the human gut; it’s made of a series of pumps and containers, and bacteria comparable to our own....

James McAvoy has a great head of hair. And, as stellar as he is in any role, it’s heartbreaking to see him shave that thick, textured, ne’er receded mane all off. (He’s done it for X-Men: Apocalypse and Split, both 2016, and again for his reprisal of both roles in this year’s Dark Phoenix and Glass.) For our February 2019 cover shoot, however, McAvoy brought the volume, the texture, the waves, and the style....

To overcome the catastrophic coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic at hand, it’s important to recognize the positives. One beacon is selfless service. Countless acts by organizations and individuals alike are minimizing the lasting damage. This hard work isn’t only done by the ER doctors, nurses, and first responders constituting our last line of defense. It’s also the good Samaritans doing thankless work next door. We raise our glasses to all the local heroes on the front lines—from all the hospital workers to the grocery stockers, postal workers, small business owners, plus those delivering goods to the elderly and at-risk, #weoweyoudrink....

After less than two weeks of recreational sales of marijuana in Nevada, the state’s dispensaries are pretty much out of product. And ongoing legal problems with distribution mean they’re not sure how or when more will come.

Big Drop 3 in Cataract Canyon; Bego Gerhardt It was September, about a month into the expedition, when Mike and Jenny Fiebig encountered their first challenging whitewater. The rapid was Hells Half Mile in Lodore Canyon on the Green River. And their boat was a custom dory built by Hog Island Boat Works in Steamboat Springs, Colo., and Eddyline Welding in Moab, Utah. The dory had a roto-molded plastic hull, expertly fitted aluminum decking, and one missing feature the Fiebigs were about to experience first-hand: Unlike other boats Mike had rowed during 20 years of raft guiding, this one wasn’t self-bailing....

Considering it’s based around a big, indulgent meal, Thanksgiving doesn’t exactly have a reputation as a healthy holiday. Between that extra helping of stuffing and a slice (or three) of pumpkin pie, it usually turns into a major cheat day. But new data released by Strava tells a different story: The calorie-heavy holiday is actually a very popular time to run. In both 2016 and 2017, more people laced up and went for a run on Thanksgiving than any other day in the year....
