Was it your New Year’s resolution to quit smoking this year? Whether you are a first-time quitter or a chronic relapser, this is the year to kick this unhealthy habit for good.
Like with any bad habit you want to break, the first important step is to make an honest, specific list of why you want to quit this habit. In the case of smoking, your list of reasons can include better health, a decreased probability of getting cancer or another disease, whiter teeth, a lesser chance of getting wrinkles, and wanting to live a longer and healthier life.
Whether you choose to use a nicotine patch or… more

China’s Pearl River Delta has surpassed Tokyo in both size and population, making it the largest urban area in the world, according to the World Bank. The colossal megapolis – a conglomerate of several cities, including Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Foshan and Dongguan – is a central component to China’s manufacturing and trade industries.
It is now home to 42 million – more people than the countries of Canada, Argentina or Australia. And, considering nearly two-thirds of the East Asia region’s population (64%) is still “non-urban,” the area is expected to grow exponentially.
Warning of the potential consequences of unplanned growth, the report made a case for affordable housing and efficient public transport as a way to avoid the increase of inequality, stating: “While this transformation is going on, there is still an opportunity to set the course of urbanization on a more sustainable and equitable path… Within a few decades, this window of opportunity will close, and future generations will be left to deal with the consequences of how we urbanize today.”
Pearl River Delta is one of eight megacities in the region of more than 10 million people: the Pearl River Delta, Shanghai and Beijing in China; Tokyo and Osaka in Japan; and Jakarta, Seoul and Manila. Several hundred million will be relocating to cities within the region over the next 20 years.

There’s not too many places in the United States where you can head up to the mountains to ski, hike a mountain trail on your way back home, then take a few laps in an outdoor pool, all in a twelve-hour period. More than a few Denverites can claim that accomplishment, especially in April when all three activities are possible.
It started with U2’s seminal concert in 1983. Then other musical acts followed with their concerts from this incredible natural amphitheater. With its dramatic russet sedimentary formations and its panoramic view of the city 15 miles away, Red Rocks is an unforgettable experience. If you go to any other place in the world to see a concert, you know the very best one is waiting for you back at home.
Coors was once a small brewer that produced such a superior product people made the pilgrimage to Colorado just to get a six-pack. Now that beer gets passed over in favor of one of the twenty-two craft and artisan breweries in and around the metro area. Check out Great Divide or Breckenridge to know how we roll in Denver. Be jealous.
Kids raised in Denver learn this lesson early on. A simple t-shirt and pants, no matter how nice the weather currently looks, are often not sufficient. If you’re going to deal with the bone-chill of 22° in the morning and the balmy 60° just a few hours later, you need to be prepared. A fleece vest and a down jacket are staples for anyone from Denver.
Our Boy Scout preparedness applies to more than just clothes. Being at a mile high in elevation means we truly are closer to the sun, as well as a little more oxygen-depleted. That can’t stop us, though. We hydrate and protect, and get on our way.
Yes, Denver has other sports teams — the lowly Rockies, the even lowlier Nuggets, and the somewhere in-between Avalanche. There’s even a professional soccer team, the Rapids, as well as a semi-pro lacrosse team. But no organization captures the hearts and minds of the city’s people like the Broncos, whether they win or lose. Even in the offseason, Broncomania is everywhere. Get used to it.
Every January, the National Western Stock Show heralds its arrival with a cattle drive down 17th Street. It’s events like these that strengthen the city’s reputation of being stuck in the old frontier days of ranches and cowhands, even as it’s gone through many other identities through history. But as Denver natives will tell you, there’s a lot more here than one big rodeo.
Ann Demeulemeester Fall Winter 2015.16 collection was presented on the recently wrapped up Paris Fashion Week. Demeulemeester team took inspiration from classic men’s pieces giving them a rocky edge.
