Roughly three percent of America’s greenhouse gas emissions come from cattle farts, according to the EPA. Of course, the federal administration puts it a little more tactfully, stating “cattle produce methane as part of their normal digestive processes.” Still, that’s a rather large chunk of climate-change-inducing byproducts spewing from some gassy animals. This—along with general health—is one of the core arguments put forth by vegan evangelists. Stop consuming animal products, they say, and the environment will improve....

Now that the holidays are over, you’ve probably buried your Champagne flutes in the back of the cabinet, not expecting to need them until the holidays roll around again in 12 months. Would you mind if we tried to gently help you see the errors of your way? For one, you shouldn’t use Champagne flutes – they’re little better than decorative and a normal Bordeaux or Chardonnay glass does a better job of bringing out the aromatics....

At SUP Magazine, we sort through lots of different SUP videos to provide our audience with examples of our sport being performed at the highest levels. But the truth of the matter is, SUP isn’t as easy as these edited clips may lead you to believe. Learning how to clear a rapid, make a drop, or win a race takes lots of skill and plenty of trial and error. But it’s that error part of the equation that we want to focus on here....

E-bikes have been around for a while, but today’s bikes feature more advanced technology, smaller and lighter batteries with improved range, and lower costs than their predecessors. Yamaha has been crafting e-bikes in Japan for 25 years, but this is the first time they’ve launched a complete e-bike in the U.S. Of the four new models that Yamaha just launched, we decided to test their fitness-focused option, the Urban Rush. The Urban Rush is a Class 1, pedal-assist e-bike and goes up to 20mph....

When your back acts up, there’s been little to do about it except ice, heat, aspirin, and rest. But scientists at the University of North Carolina School of Medicine may have found a new way: zapping your brain. Using a novel form of electric brain stimulation, it is possible to synchronize and restore order to particular brain rhythms that help regulate pain signals, thereby easing feelings of discomfort in people with chronic back pain....

Coconuts Bali reported that a fire broke out in Uluwatu on Monday afternoon. The cause was unknown at first, but earlier on Tuesday, they reported that sparks from a welding project are believed to be the cause of the blaze. The fire was understood to have originated somewhere near Ulu Cliff and spread to Bluepoint in Labuansait in Bali’s Bukit Peninsula just up from the island’s famous Uluwatu surf break....

One of the best things about the fall is how it is very ok for people to just get comfortable. It’s an oddly relaxing time. The summer heat is gone and the winter is here, so extreme weather is nothing to worry about. The only thing people need to do is wear some good pieces of clothing that can keep an equilibrium. Not too hot, not too cold. Not every day is going to be filled from morning to night with work or social events where expensive clothing is necessary....

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson really knows how to entertain. Whether he’s asking if you “smell what The Rock is cooking” from the middle of a wrestling ring, saving swimmers on the big screen in Baywatch, helping athletes navigate their careers in Ballers, or crushing it in the gym and posting it to Instagram, Johnson knows how to get an audience to love him. You Need to See Matt Damon’s Hilarious Matthew McConaughey and Chris Hemsworth Impressions on ‘SNL’...

It’s a horrible feeling to get caught out and about when it’s raining or snowing, and your feet get drenched. Walking around with soggy feet is no fun at all. With fall here and the winter around the corner, it’s going to start getting moister and moister out there. And it’s going to be really cold too. Getting a good pair of shoes that will make it easier to go out in horrible weather situations is key....

Actor Holt McCallany is having a banner year in 2017. The former star of FX’s underappreciated boxing drama Lights Out is getting the best reviews of his career for his work in Netflix’s crime series Mindhunter, and he’s appeared in supporting roles in two very different films: the prison-thriller Shot Caller, and the superhero team-up Justice League. Feature: Holt McCallany Is Having a Career Moment With Netflix’s ‘Mindhunter.’ It’s About Damn Time....

Race officials from Alaska’s Iditarod sled dog race have accused four-time champion musher Dallas Seavey of administering an illegal substance to his dogs, according to NPR. Seavey placed second in the 2017 event behind his father, Mitch Seavey. The race committee announced last week that four dogs from the same sled dog team tested positive for the drug Tramadol (which for humans, is used to treat pain) at the finish in Nome last March....

From early experiments with big aluminum frames in the ’80s to more recent ventures in carbon fiber, Cannondale has worked to build a reputation as a bike innovator. That makes the company’s latest high-performance releases for 2019—the Topstone Carbon, CAAD13, and SuperSix EVO—both surprising and, well, not so surprising. Even a quick glance at these beasts proves that they represent a new evolution of Cannondale’s design philosophy. The general idea? Make bikes that are faster on the road and more capable off of it, thanks to some elegant technical tweaks....

In April, 79-year-old Yvon Chouinard, the founder of Patagonia Inc., stood up in front of 500 hardcore hunters in downtown Boise, Idaho, and told a story about his daughter accidentally hitting a deer with her car on prom night. As a lifelong hunter, Chouinard had repeatedly impressed upon her since a young age that wasting meat was a grave sin, so she took it upon herself to frantically drag the deer carcass into her car for butchering....

When getting kitted out for a ride, most cyclists focus on the clothes they’ll wear on the bike. But British cycling outfitter Rapha’s latest apparel release centers on a different aspect of cycling: what happens before and after the ride, whether that’s snoozing on the bus between stages or knocking back a beer after a long haul with friends. However you define “recovery,” the new Rapha Transfer Collection, designed in partnership with the Dutch textile studio Byborre, is built to help you rest and recharge....

A shark with no dorsal fin surprisingly appeared on the screen as crew from Paul Allen’s research vessel Petrel explored ship wreckage from World War II in Philippine waters using a remotely operated submersible. “Sixgills don’t have dorsal fins,” a researcher can be heard saying in the video. “Can you zoom in, Rick?” As he did, the shark turned toward the camera and revealed what they all thought. It was a rarely seen sixgill shark....

Compared with regular fries, sweet potato fries appear to be much healthier. But except for sweet potatoes’ extra vitamin C, A, and lower glycemic rating, the two are nutritionally very similar. So for the healthiest cooking option, always bake instead of fry—you’ll cut fat by at least 50% and reduce calories by a third.

Sweet potatoes are already decadently sweet and silky, so that popular topping of mini marshmallows and brown sugar? Serious overkill. We recommend going with bananas, to boost both the sweetness and the creaminess, and apples, whose natural acidity will brighten the sweet potatoes’ naturally deep flavor.
