China's Cruise Industry is Growing Fast - Quartz
 |
| Image name: cruise ship. Photographer: Jon Sullivan. |
"The growth is due not only to China’s rapidly growing travel market, but to the country’s location near small, attractive islands. The cruise industry is poised to take advantage of the nearby landscape much as it has taken over the Caribbean islands near the United States.
"There’s good weather here, lots of islands to visit and a lot of experiences. ..."

Richard Branson on Space Travel - WSJ.com
Richard Branson on Space Travel - WSJ.com:
"After nine years of fits and starts, Mr. Branson was in California showing off the spaceships that are now being built and tested. "This is the start of a new space era," he says. "This is not the endgame." But he admits there are skeptics of his grand plan to send tourists into space. "There are plenty of people who think I should be taken off by men in white jackets for saying it, but I really do actually believe it," he says."

Experts dismiss prediction of global wine shortage - SFGate
 |
| Image: mickstephenson.photoshelter.com |
"Confusion abounds over a prediction that a wine shortage could be looming.
A Morgan Stanley report released this week said worldwide wine demand exceeded supply by nearly 300 million cases in 2012. The study blamed the shortfall, the greatest in 40 years, on bad weather and fewer vineyards, and it added there may not be enough wine in future years.
But don't start hoarding your wine, because analysts are seeing it differently."

"Woods has finished in the top 10 in 11 of his 13 appearances at this tournament (including seven wins) and he looks to be on his way once again to a great showing with a first-round 66 on Thursday.
Here are Woods' average first rounds at Firestone separated by wins and non-wins:
When he wins: 66.4
When he doesn't win: 68.8
So that looks about right if you're rooting for Woods to get his fifth win of the 2013 season."

Does Cooking Strip Red Wine's Benefits? - NYTimes.com
Ask Well: Does Cooking Strip Red Wine's Benefits? - NYTimes.com:
"The short answer is probably yes: You can drink your wine and cook it too.
Red wine essentially has two properties that make it good for health when consumed in moderation. One is its alcohol content, which is known to increase “good” HDL cholesterol and reduce levels of fibrinogen, a precursor of blood clots. The other is its abundance of polyphenols, natural compounds like resveratrol that, according to some studies, can protect blood vessels and help reduce inflammation."

US Credit Cards With Smart Chip Technology | The Points Guy
Follow the link below for a list of vendors offering credit cards with smart chips. We recently visited France, and thankfully had one credit card with a chip. It came in handy many times.
US Credit Cards With Smart Chip Technology | The Points Guy:
"Most US cards don’t have chip technology because it is expensive and not required by US merchants, so issuers have been dragging their feet on issuing new cards with them. The good news, though, is that we’re seeing more and more issuers putting chips in more and more cards because of consumer demand, so if you’re in the market for a new credit card, chances are you can find one that suits your needs financially and has a chip in it."

"Mid-air. It’s the last place anyone wants to have a medical emergency, but a study published in the New England Journal of Medicine Thursday claims that’s exactly what happens on approximately one out of every 604 flights. More surprising still, in three out of four emergencies, a trained health professional aboard the plane will step forward to help out."
