READ AT YOUR OWN RISK THIS MONTH’S ISSUE of Hemispheres is all about adventure and the great outdoors.

First, we talk to legendary scientist Jane Goodall, who became famous for her work with chimpanzees in Africa and at age 80 is still a staunch advocate for the environment (page 64). If you’re looking for a more high-energy form of entertainment, on page 68 we’ve got a roundup of the newest, craziest extreme sports, from wingsuit flying (as you can see in the picture at le , the sport basically consists of jumping off a cliff wearing a Superman cape) to volcano surfing (which is exactly what it sounds like).

Finally, there’s “Three Perfect Days: Portland” (page 74). With its proximity to the Cascade range and the Columbia Gorge, Portland is smack in the middle of some of the world’s pre iest landscapes, and July is the perfect time to get out and enjoy them. —The Editors

CEO LETTER

Supporting Our Troops and Veterans

W

elcome aboard, and thanks for choosing United.

At United, we have many employees who are in the active military or retired from service, and I’m proud to have these courageous men and women on our team. We support our employees who serve our country, and as a global airline we are in a position to use our reach and resources to help other members of the U.S. military and veterans.

In addition to the small things we’re able to do, like thank our uniformed military at the airport by inviting them to board early, we also provide travel assistance for events important to our servicemen and women and veterans.

We offer charter flights from Guam to Iwo Jima under a special arrangement with the government of Japan for the annual Iwo Jima memorial services. In March, we partnered with Military Historical Tours for the 19th time to send two Iwo Jima

10

p010_HEM0514_CEO.indd 10

veterans to the island. They were able to take part in the special memorials to honor those who served during one of World War II’s longest and fiercest Pacific battles.

Also in March, employees from various departments teamed up to help more than 600 veterans, coaches, sponsors and volunteers travel through our stations for the annual Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic in Aspen. We are a proud sponsor of this event, which enables injured veterans to travel to Aspen for a weeklong rehabilitation clinic, where they enjoy a variety of winter mountain activities.

In addition to assisting with air transportation, we partnered with the Chicago Department of Aviation to host a 5K/10K “Run on the Runway” at Chicago’s O’Hare Airport. Proceeds from the unique event benefited the Wounded Warrior Project serving military veterans.

We also recently formed United for Veterans—a business resource group made

up of volunteer employees, both veterans and non-veterans. The members come together to promote veteran priorities like career development and talent acquisition while helping to provide resources to support those priorities.

I want to thank all of you who are in the active military or who are veterans, with special thanks to our own United employees for your service, patriotism and dedication to the good of our country.

Code Whisperer Erik Stogo follows his passion to offer new adventures for United customers

BY A. AVERYL RE

“WE WANT OUR customers to be able to explore travel, not just book travel,” says Erik Stogo.

When the software engineer starts talking about his work—especially the new united.com he and co-workers from various departments have spent many months developing—you almost expect him to don a fedora, take up a whip and go exploring new worlds. “I want them to be excited to use it, because our travel tools are fun and engaging. Aesthetically, it’s beautiful—radically different from anything out there and radically different from the existing website.”

United has one of the largest retail websites in the world. The new website, coming this year, represents a light-year’s leap forward from 1994, when the airline mailed purchasing software for its highest-paying customers to install on their computers. Stogo has been with the

12

R1_p012_HEM0514_Voices.indd 12

company since 1998. He brought a huge bag of tricks picked up from spending six months at a time working a wide range of businesses as a contractor. ”I never wanted to be permanent,” he says. “Programmers get bored very easily. You can see how exciting this place is that I stayed here for more than 16 years.”

For a guy who doesn’t like to sit still in life or in his career, an airline proved an ideal match. “The problems and complexities are way more interesting than anything I’ve ever worked on,” he says. “We have so much more to consider and take into account from a programming point of view than they do in other businesses, whether it’s looking at the global network as a whole or at each individual flight.

We’re also in an intensely competitive environment.”

For most of his life, coding has provided a challenge for Stogo. “When I was 15, I got

a Commodore 64,” he says. “I started programming and never looked back.”

He first took computer science in school, but got bored because, he says, “I wanted to write code. I didn’t want to just learn about it. The thing about programming is you will never learn everything. You just find one area and you start on that and you follow whatever you find interesting and engaging. It’s a creative outlet. There’s a million different ways to make code do something.

It’s a combination of science and art.”

For Stogo and the team, applying science and art toward building a new website meant learning a new technology altogether. “We’re two technologies removed from when I first started here.

It’s like a spaceship versus a tricycle. It’s that much of a distinction.”

There is such a distinction, in fact, that the team could not move directly from current technology to building a website using Model View Controller technology. “We had to take training, and then we built prototypes,” Stogo says. “The business team and designers are brilliant business minds. They created the new design and flow. We execute it and share with them any limitations, or we negotiate changes that need to be made to make sure it works. I handle availability and booking—flight search results, gathering information about your travel and booking it. We have 100 guys or so working on different pieces. Farming it out to all these different guys makes it tricky to integrate and make sure all the pieces plug in and work great.”

One of the biggest challenges in building the new website was making it more complex and versatile while simultaneously simplifying things for the customer.

“Every click, every page, every obstacle is one more opportunity for him to say, ‘Forget it. I’m going someplace where it’s easier,’” Stogo says.

When Stogo isn’t seeking out new worlds in cyberspace, he likes to seek out new adventures with his 19-year old daughter, Elizabeth. “She’s my favorite,” he says. “You can say that because I just have one.” Father and daughter love going to the beach, on Maui in particular, where they can sink their toes in the sand.

And, of course, he still studies programming, because he always wants something new to discover.

CONNECTIONS ASK THE PILOT

With Captain Mike Bowers

Q: On the ground, there are days when winds are still, but are there always winds at flying altitude? And are they more consistent at altitude?

Social Connections MORE THAN 1 MILLION customers have discovered the electrifying experience of ge ing social with United. Options to connect include Twi er, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, among others, or through United’s own “The Hub” (unitedhub.com).

Director of Social Media Karin Moan says those connections provide several benefits.

“Our social media fans and followers include many of our most active MileagePlus Premier members,” Moan says. “Social media helps us build relationships with our most engaged customers.”

Some take advantage of the nearly continuously available team to smooth out travel bumps. Social media staff and a dozen reservations agents respond to 25,000 or more incoming messages a week, usually within 30 minutes of a customer’s tweet or post.

But ensuring a seamless trip is only a small part of the social-media advantage. Regular

14

p014_HEM0514_Connex.indd 14

social-media followers gain insights into the company and o en learn about changes and announcements. They also get in on special promotions, such as sponsorships or special offers. Recent promotions gave customers a shot at Major League Baseball tickets and other giveaways.

One customer even got his own personal high five when a team member arranged for a United employee to give him props at the airport a er he tweeted a request! Just one more reason customers love to interact with us, as evidenced by the 380 percent uptick in followers on Twi er and the 200 percent increase on Facebook between 2013 and 2014.

“We’re continuing to grow and focus on having more personal connections with our customers. It’s an important part of our business,” Moan says. “We’re invested in making it a meaningful experience.”

—A. AVERYL RE

A: While each region has its own wind patterns, generally speaking, winds average 80–100 mph at flying altitude.

The location and intensity vary, much as they do on the surface. At altitude, I have seen winds above 200 mph, and I have also seen calm winds.

The strongest winds are closest to the core of the Jet Stream. In the Caribbean, it is not uncommon to have calm winds at altitude.

DISPATCHES NEWS AND NOTES FROM AROUND THE WORLD

July 4, 1777 Fireworks make an appearance at the first celebration of American Independence Day in Philadelphia.

1400s–1500s In England, “firemasters” perform the dangerous job of setting off fireworks. Their assistants are called “green men” for the caps made of leaves they wear to protect their heads.

1295 Merchant ships, including those of Venetian explorer Marco Polo, transport fireworks to Europe from the Orient, along with spices, paper currency and other riches.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF BOOM!

A.D. 600–900 Chinese alchemists invent a rudimentary gunpowder—including saltpeter, charcoal and sulphur—and stuff it into bamboo shoots or paper tubes before placing them on fires. The bangs get bigger.

PHOTO CREDIT TK - REMOVE IF EMPTY

1830s Fireworks gain colors for the first time when Italian pyrotechnicians introduce trace amounts of metals like strontium, copper and sodium.

Over the past 30 years, fireworks have become more colorful, timing tighter and pa erns more complex. At this rate, it won’t be long before we can spell out entire words in the sparks. However, the historical record of making flowers out of fire is not quite as fast and furious. It took the world more than 2,000 years to arrive at the humble smiley-face mortar, with a lot of (ahem) bursts of creativity along the way.

Here, a few highlights.

SCOTLAND

PILLAGE LIFE

A small island community celebrates the carnage of yesteryear

BY TOM ROWLEY

THE SCALLOWAY Boating Club has seen better days. Ruddy-faced regulars sit on rickety wooden stools, trading insults with the barman.

When the Viking hordes arrive, the regulars glance up momentarily and then, without comment, return to their drinks.

Scalloway is the second largest settlement in Scotland’s remote Shetland Islands, but the population is small enough that everyone in this bar has, at some time, played a part in the town’s annual Fire Festival, which commemorates the first Viking invasion of the Shetlands, in the 8th century. No one here is impressed by horned helmets anymore.

The chief of the Vikings at this year’s event is oil rig worker Kenny

Grant, who will later lead a rabble of 45 men through the town, hollering Nordic oaths and thrusting flaming torches aloft. Now, he hitches up his cloak to perch on a stool, propping his ax and shield against the bar as he orders a pint of local lager.

Grant and his fellow Vikings work hard to maintain historical accuracy—though it’s unlikely that their forebears were as fussy about their battle garb. “It is quite hard to alter the costume,” says Grant, picking at his tunic. “But every year the public expects a new and glamorous design.”

Accordingly, each of the event’s Vikings has spent around $1,300 updating his kit, interlocking the chain mail by hand and fashioning

wristbands from salmon skin.

Rehearsals have taken place throughout the year, and every man has grown a beard for the occasion.

Many islanders can trace their ancestry back to the Scandinavian warriors who wreaked havoc here 13 centuries ago, and the annual parade that marks the invasion dates back to the Victorian era.

There is a sense of history and ceremony to Scalloway’s Fire Festivals, but there are also vast amounts of beer consumed.

“The Vikings did a lot of sacking and pillaging, but we can’t get away with that these days,” Grant says before ordering another pint. “The most we can hope for now is a kiss from the girl at the back of the hall.”

They have been summoned here, without much explanation, by the Wellendorff family, which, for four generations, has made luxe jewelry in Pforzheim, a two-hour drive away. One invitee likens the situation to the opening of an Agatha Christie novel.

(Sort of) At the foot of a steel staircase, a stream of crisply dressed Chicagoans breezes past Liza Minnelli and Lady Gaga, who get the occasional double-take but not much more. The entrance to Sub 51, a swank subterranean nightclub in the city’s River North district, is neither guarded by beefy watchmen nor cordoned off by velvet rope. Gaga and Minnelli, milling about at the door, look as though they’d be open to a chat or a celebrity selfie.

reveals the point of the evening: the unveiling of some one-of-a-kind pieces that family patriarch Hanspeter has been working on for the past five years.

The guests are duly ushered into a series of candlelit rooms, each containing a table bearing a lone blue box. Inside one is a half-million-dollar gold goblet, with a flawless 1-carat diamond set in a rosette. Another cradles a $200,000 letter opener, its handle wound with gold rope and crowned with a ruby. There’s a gold bottle stopper bristling with diamonds ($150,000) and a lapis, gold and diamond desk organizer ($400,000).

“This was purely a labor of love,” says Hanspeter.

With this, he reveals his masterpiece: a 14-inch golden water lily set with 400 precious stones. The piece is priced at $700,000, but Hanspeter seems to have little interest in this kind of value. “There is only one reason someone would want to own this,” he says. “Joy.” —BOYD FARROW

Still, there’s a reasonable amount of enthusiasm as faux Liza shimmies onstage in a red sequined dress, belting out “Cabaret.” Later, in black spandex and crazy shoulder pads, the mock Gaga vamps her way through “Bad Romance” with plenty of vigor but li le in the way of verisimilitude.

As the event winds down, the remaining guests busy themselves with pla ers of pork tacos, mini-burgers and roast chicken. “Hey,” says one guy through a mouthful of food, “at least the chicken legs are real.” —ROD O’CONNOR

DON’T MIME ME A RAIL FAN FINDS CONTENTMENT WHILE APING THE MOTIONS OF A TRAIN DRIVER JAPAN • As commuters on the Nagoya-

The man is middle-aged and portly, and he is holding a plastic bag in one hand while mimicking the driver’s movements with the other.

“Idiot,” a teenage girl whispers to a friend in Japanese.

The rest of the passengers, however, couldn’t care less. Tetsu-ota, or “rail fans,” have become a familiar presence on Japan’s train system. This particular fan is clearly a student of the elaborate hand gestures used by train drivers to convey, say, an approaching crossing or

signal light. Eagerly a entive, he follows the driver’s chopping and finger-pointing motions, shimmying a li le as he moves.

As for the disapproving remarks from the teenage girls, the man either doesn’t hear or doesn’t care, and continues slicing the air happily as the train races through the trees. —JOHN HOPTON

DISPATCHES INDIA

CUPID’S CUDGEL DURING HOLI, A BASH ON THE HEAD CAN BE A DEMONSTRATION OF TRUE LOVE

In a sun-streaked courtyard in the western Indian village of Nandgaon, Anu Devi, a middle-aged mother of three, is bonking her husband on the head with a bamboo stick. The husband doesn’t seem too fazed by the assault, exchanging wry smiles with other men receiving the same treatment. “All the girls are hitting their husbands on their heads!”

Anu Devi says, squaring up for another whack.

The previous evening, these villagers were gathered around bonfires, singing and dancing,

celebrating the coming of spring and Holi, which is known as the Festival of Colors due to a raucously messy tradition in which people across India take to the streets to hurl colored powder or water at each other.

Lathmar (“Hit ’Em With a Stick”) is a regional addition to the festivities.

It recalls a tale in which the young Lord Krishna teased some girls in the neighboring village of Barsana, who chased him away with sticks. Today’s ritual is supposed to have the men of Nandgaon reprise

Krishna’s misadventure.

What the original myth doesn’t suggest, though, is that the men should receive another beating when they get home—this part seems to be a more recent improvisation.

There are political undertones to this tradition. In a male-dominated society, Lathmar represents a fleeting and symbolic

opportunity for women to settle the score. But, like everything to do with Holi, the ritual is essentially a celebration of love. The wives often pad the business end of their sticks with cloth, Anu Devi explains, adding that she has opted for an additional precaution. “I made him wear a thicker turban today,” she says. —ARUN BHATIA

You don’t have to look too hard to find a big-name designer in London. Trickier is discerning where the next wave of talent is coming from. For the last three decades, the city’s New Designers exhibition has a empted to do just this, highlighting the work of budding designers in disciplines ranging from fashion to furniture.

Among the 3,000 or so hopefuls showing their stuff at the Business Design Centre this year is Louise Jones, aka Sparklymouse, who creates quirky embroidered illustrations, such as “Jessica Stam” (pictured). While Jones hasn’t set the world alight yet, the same could once have been said of exhibition alum Thomas Heatherwick, who went on to design the cauldron for the London 2012 Olympics.

Oh, the Places You’ll Go

LEFT BEHIND Justin Theroux stars in “The Leftovers”

A professor of social geography at Newcastle University, Alastair Bonne trekked far off the beaten path to research his new book, Unruly Places: Lost Spaces, Secret Cities, and Other Inscrutable Geographies.

Here, he talks us through some of his favorite destinations. —ERIN BRADY 1. THE UNFINISHED: “Giarre is a Sicilian

village crowded with 25 unfinished mega-projects, sports stadiums and civic palaces that are now tumbling with weeds. I was reminded of how so many of our cities are layered with unfinished grand projects.”

2. THE NONEXISTENT: “Sandy Island

was a Pacific island, 15 miles long, found on many maps, including Google Maps.

But in 2012, scientists tried to visit it and found it didn’t exist. Google had to cut and paste some generic sea over the spot.”

3. THE INACCESSIBLE: “In the center of Newcastle is a deserted triangle of land surrounded by freeways. I hopped over the barriers and made it across.

Sometimes, the remotest places are just around the corner.”

4. THE EERIE: “The English village of Arne was evacuated in 1942, and a decoy munitions factory was then built there, designed to fool German bombers.

Today it’s a bird sanctuary, but the tranquillity is unnerving: The ponds are bomb craters and wildflowers cascade from rusting artillery.” (July 8)

Apocalypse and Soccer Moms Tom Perro a swaps the suburbs for weirder territory Anyone familiar with the work of Tom Perro a—author of Election and Li le Children—would have been taken aback by his 2011 novel, The Le overs.

Once called “the Steinbeck of suburbia,” Perro a is known for his astute, off-kilter satires. The Leftovers— which he co-adapted for the new HBO series of the same name—is something else entirely.

The story centers on a suburban New York town, three years after 2 percent of the world’s population suddenly and inexplicably vanished. In this sense, it seems to have more in common with “The Walking Dead” than Election.

“It is a departure, but I figured I’d write an apocalyptic story that feels

like suburban realism,” Perro a says.

“It’s not about people fighting for survival in an obliterated world. It’s about how they cope with something like this, how they explain it to themselves and move on.” How people cope amounts to this: They don’t.

For all its thematic complexity, “The Leftovers” is not lacking in tension, menace or—this being Perrotta—sly wit. “One thing I’ve noticed watching the show is how much I laugh,” he says. “It’s a slightly bewildered laugh, the way I used to watch ‘Twin Peaks.’ The weirdness is done in a matter-of-fact way, and there’s an uncomfortable comedy in that, which is something I enjoy.”

“Schoolboy Q’s known for mixing gri y street tales and songs of reflection with unrestrained party jams, and his latest finds him striking the perfect balance. With songs like ‘What They Want’ and ‘Blind Threats’ beside each other, Oxymoron is a convincing demonstration of this L.A. rapper’s range.”

RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES

Making a movie about childhood involves wading through a minefield of potential problems: Your actor ages too fast, or doesn’t age at all; his voice changes at the wrong time; or you end up using so many actors to represent the different time periods that you run smack into “the other Darrin problem.” This is what makes Boyhood, the latest from director Richard Linklater (Dazed and Confused, Before Sunrise), such an accomplishment. A coming-of-age story in which the main character (and actor) actually comes of age, his parents become old, and the world twists dizzyingly around him is so close to the actual experience of growing up that it spreads your own heart all over the screen.

Shot over the course of 12 years as the protagonist—Mason, played by Ellar Coltrane (pictured above)—ages from seven to 18, the movie is as much a history of life in the United States as it is a portrait of Coltrane’s particular childhood.

Bring tissues. —JD (July 14)

The Last Ha-Ha

The Monty Python team prepare to play their final gig. Probably.

THE MONTY PYTHON GANG have said goodbye before—their first-ever tour, back in the early 1970s, was titled “The First Farewell Tour,” and there have been a few more since. This month, though, the Pythons are performing a series of shows at London’s 02 Arena that probably will be their last.

Not surprisingly, nostalgia will be running high at the shows. “The bulk of it will be old material,” says Terry Gilliam, speaking in a London hotel room along with fellow Pythons John Cleese, Eric Idle, Michael Palin and Terry Jones (Graham Chapman died in 1989). “It’s going to be interesting to see how much more we can add to brighten it up.”

FISH OUT OF WATER Crispy whole triggerfish with charred leeks at Underbelly in Houston

THE OTHER FISH IN THE SEA More and more chefs are pu ing bycatch on the menu

JULIE SOEFER PHOTOGRAPHY

BY GERALDINE CAMPBELL

ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO, Chris Shepherd— then the chef of the now-shuttered Catalan in Houston—found a business card on his desk for fishmonger PJ Stoops, along with an order sheet for several fish he had never heard of: triggerfish, scorpion fish, almaco jack and longtail sea bass.

Curious, he picked up the phone. “I called the guy and he said, ‘This is all the stuff in the gulf,’” says Shepherd, who is now executive chef at Underbelly. “And then he just started bringing me fish. Groupers and snappers, of course, but then a lot of other li le things I’d just never seen.”

Called “bycatch” or “trash fish,” these species are usually pulled up when commercial fishermen are looking for something else.

HEMISPHERESMAGAZINE.COM • JULY 2014

p031-035_HEM0714_F&D.indd 31

The average shrimp trawler’s haul, for instance, is only 16 percent shrimp. The rest, made of some 50 common species including squid, snails and sea pansies, is typically dumped back in the ocean, dead or alive.

Stoops didn’t start selling trash fish to be trendy, although in the five years since he started his business out of the back of his truck, bycatch has become something of a foodie catchphrase, along the lines of “farm-to-table” and “nose-to-tail.” Instead, he claims to have gotten into the business on a whim. In the Gulf of Mexico, in addition to o -sought fish like grouper and snapper, you’ll find roughly 1,445 species of finfish—almost all of which are

edible. “I went into bycatch not knowing that much about it other than that I could make more money,” he says.

Stoops’ gamble worked: Shepherd, who earlier this year brought home Houston’s first James Beard Award in 22 years, most days has some form of bycatch on his menu, served whole and fried. Mesquitesmoked bycaught mackerel with cane syrup, cabbage, mustards and pickles was on a recent menu at Justin Yu’s Oxheart in Houston. Brian Landry, the chef at Borgne in New Orleans, serves freshwater drum with brown bu er, pecans and jumbo lump crab.

THE BIG STEEP Tea cocktails branch out Adding a li le black or Earl Grey tea to a cocktail has been popular for a few years now, but only recently have bartenders explored the full range of possibilities: infusing the stuff directly into spirits, brewing and stirring it in or freezing it into cubes. “Tea opens up so many doors to different flavor profiles,” says Nick Kosevich, co-owner of Bi ercube, a mixology consulting company that also makes bi ers. “You can make the same cocktail a hundred different ways by using different teas.”

Here, Kosevich and his business partner Ira Koplowitz tell us how to make the Tea ’n’ T, a play on the gin and tonic they developed for Eat Street Social in Minneapolis. Recently, they’ve taken to altering the cocktail with the seasons, switching in chai, smoked Earl Grey and even a sugarplum tea for the holidays. Kosevich and Koplowitz use Bingley’s teas, but you can use any brand. —JEANETTE HURT

garlic and parsley butter on the menu since the restaurant opened in 2010.

In theory, less popular fish becoming trendy is a good thing. Eating bycatch, like eating offal, is about avoiding waste. But in fact, most of the fish that Stoops sells are eaten regularly in other parts of the world. Almaco jack, a cousin to amberjack, is known as kanpachi in Japan, where it is standard on sushi menus. Triggerfish, a light, flaky fish that tastes like crab meat, is a staple in Florida fish shacks. But, says Stoops, a potential danger is that the majority of these fish are not regulated by government agencies—and that not all chefs (or fishermen) are focused on sustainability. “Monkfish went from being abundant to endangered. And in Mexico, they fished out a species of whelk because they targeted them during spawning,” he says.

Still, by serving bycatch, restaurants can make an important contribution to conservation—even though there is progress yet to be made. “In an ideal world, fishermen would not be able to throw things back,” says Stoops. “That’s when bycatch would really mean something.”

PATRON OF THE TARTS A wine drinker cozies up to the new sour beer trend

By Jolyon Helterman SOUR POWER A cherry sour beer from the Coors Hidden Barrel Collection

PICTURE TK I WAS RECENTLY four-deep in the crowd at Row 34, Boston’s new seafood haven, nearly spraining an eyebrow in an effort to engage the world-weary barman. Finally: “A ZURE VAN TILDONK, PLEASE!” I megaphoned above the din, indicating a Belgian sour ale I’d heard raves about. It was, apparently, the right request.

“I just love this one,” the bartender said, beaming and suddenly energized. “Such beautiful apricot notes! Man, I love it when sourheads come in!” For the rest of the evening, my new sour-ale buddy carefully monitored my every penultimate sip, eager to resume leading me through the menu of sour beers. I didn’t have the heart to tell him I’m usually a wine guy.

This is the beauty of sour beer, a category that’s hundreds of years old but has only recently bubbled up to rival IPAs and Saisons as reigning king of cra suds.

The four major styles—lambics, gueuzes, goses and Flanders reds—are a racting a new fan base among my fellow wine drinkers, who are discovering that the tart fruit flavors pair with food with the same subtlety and thirst-quenching brightness as a high-toned vouvray.

For beer geeks, sours’ unique brewing process—inoculating the mash with wild yeast and bacteria and leaving it to ferment in open barrels—adds an appealing wildcard factor, as does the final step, in which beermasters combine other batches and sometimes fruit juices to get the flavor profile just so.

“That blending aspect is such an important part of the final product,” says Megan Parker-Gray, Row 34’s beverage director. “It’s a real art form.”

Cream of the Crop For the septuagenarian owner of a gelato shop, the best desserts come straight from the farm PHOTO BY OSCAR DURAND

FOR 52 YEARS, Carlos Casassa, the owner of La Fiorentina

Gelateria in Lima, Peru, tended grape vines and produced pisco and table wine at his father’s 90-acre farm and vineyard.

Throughout those years, he dreamed of the day he’d be able to relive his childhood, when he helped his mom make small batches of ice cream in her bakery. “I wanted my own gelato shop,” he says. Finally, in 2009, when he was 72 years old, he got it.

He sold the family farm to provide the capital and opened his compact establishment across the street from Surquillo Market, a farmers market where the city’s top chefs source their produce.

Given the location, and Casassa’s lifetime of farming, it was

natural that the gelateria became what it is—quite possibly the best place in Peru to taste the bounty of the country’s horticulture and agriculture in ice cream form. The 55 curious flavors on offer include an earthy porcini mushroom; a grassy avocado; a bright, berry-flavored Amazonian fruit called camu-camu; lucuma, which tastes like a sweet potato topped with maple syrup; creamy tropical custard apple; and yellow pepper, which is as citrusy as it is spicy. “I like creating unusual flavors; it’s a challenge to get the perfect balance,” says Casassa. “We have a lot of delicious fruits here in Peru, and I prefer to give the local farmers work.” —JEANINE BARONE

THIS MONTH’S HOTTEST HOTELS

THE HORNED DORSET PRIMAVERA, RINCÓN PUERTO RICO

WHAT YOU’LL FIND JUST OUTSIDE: The hotel sits 10 minutes south of Rincón, one of the great surfing destinations of the Caribbean. A host of down-home tiki bars, surfing schools, yoga studios and sundry shacks along the shore offset the resort’s incessant pampering—not that you’ll be complaining, of course.

HOT DISH: At dawn, local lobstermen head out to catch your dinner. At night, chefs at the tile-and-terraco a Restaurant Aaron will grill lobster tails and smother them in bu er and herbs, then set them on a bed of home fries with sautéed pearl onions and asparagus.

The only way to feel closer to the sea is to be in it.

HEMISPHERESMAGAZINE.COM • JULY 2014

p037-040_HEM0714_Stay.indd 37

LOBBY RESEMBLES: The alfresco Spanish Colonial lobby has twin staircases in the style of old sugarcane plantations.

The lobby’s columns, tiling, fountain, sconces and wicker furniture are straight out of the 1800s (the seawall upon which the hotel stands, in fact, was built for a 19th-century sugarcane train).

BEST PLACE TO HANG OUT: You are never going to want to leave your room, what with the ocean view, five-star service and plunge pool. Peep-proof patio walls make the suite feel like a private palace. There really is no need to go anywhere else—or even wear clothes.

The hotel veranda, while dressier, is also nice.

culture || STAY MEXICO WHAT YOU’LL FIND JUST OUTSIDE: Located on Lee Circle in the artsy Warehouse District, the Modern is surrounded by galleries and restaurants.

Hop on the retro St. Charles streetcar and, for less than the cost of a cup of coffee, you’ll be trundled past some of the city’s lovelier sights.

Or, a 20-minute stroll will have you sallying down Bourbon Street, frozen daiquiri in hand.

Nizuc Resort & Spa, Cancún

DESIGN NOTES: When German hotelier Klaus Ortlieb opened the Modern (formerly Hotel Le Cirque) in 2011, he aimed for a style that reflected the quirky eclecticism of New Orleans.

Much of the artwork came from local junk shops, creating a look that ranges from elegant to garish, but never boring.

LOBBY RESEMBLES: Like the rest of the hotel, the lobby combines mock formality with a genuine commitment to comfort and hospitality: dim lighting, plush couches, a large painting of a man in a long blue wig (the Duc d’Orléans), a shelf of ta ered old books and a parrot named Miss Scarlet. (“Her nickname is Birdzilla,” says one of the strikingly dapper concierges.)

BEST PLACE TO HANG OUT: Named a er New Orleans photographer E.J. Bellocq, the hotel’s Bellocq lounge has a decadent air to it. Flop into a plump armchair, admire the blood-red decor and sip a faithful recreation of pre-Prohibition cocktails like the Sazerac, or an original creation like the Summer Is Coming, with mezcal, ruby grapefruit and Bi ermens Hellfire.

BACKSTORY: Nestled on the pristine shore of Punta Nizuc, this former Mexican presidential retreat was meticulously restored and reopened last year as an elegant, secluded 29-acre resort.

During construction, mangroves were carefully uprooted and sheltered in an on-site greenhouse, then painstakingly replanted around the resort, where they quickly returned to their original lush glory.

DESIGN NOTES: Guests are welcomed into a soaring open-air lobby overlooking a mangrove-do ed reflecting pond. Water flows throughout the resort, which employs dri wood and slate to heighten the Zen-meets-Mayan aesthetic. The architecture throughout ensures guests never miss a glimpse of the surrounding beauty.

ROOM WITH A VIEW: It’s hard to find a room without an ocean view at this 274-suite resort.

Those looking for absolute privacy can stay in one of the garden villas, enclosed hideaways with alfresco dining tables and private plunge pools.

Or withdraw to the opulent bathroom, where a butler will draw you a petal-strewn bubble bath in a double-occupancy soaking tub.

Hotel Modern, New Orleans

WHAT YOU’LL FIND RIGHT OUTSIDE: Just to the north of the resort, off the coast of Isla de Mujeres, you’ll find MUSA (Museo Subacuático de Arte), an underwater museum of contemporary art containing more than 500 startlingly lifelike figures affixed to the seafloor. One memorable piece depicts a man si ing before a television set while coral creeps across his face. Not to be missed.

culture || STAY SRI LANKA

Taprobane Island

DESIGN NOTES: This property, which opened in 2005, blew much of its $94 million building cost on its lineup of architects. Twelve of the biggest names in the game—Norman Foster and Zaha Hadid among them—were given a floor apiece to do their thing, with France’s Jean Nouvel designing floor 12, the facade and the penthouse. The result is an extraordinary theme park for design geeks: futuristic, overwhelmingly white suites; jagged hall-of-mirror walls; folksy-florid murals; 2001: A Space Odyssey hallways and “Jetsons” couches. Wow. HOT DISH: At Lágrimas Negras (“Black Tears”), chef Juan Carlos Delle Vedove prepares a red wine– stewed bull’s tail, “Rabo Guisado,” that’ll have you regressing a million years. The first hunks of meat fall away from the bone almost as soon as you look at it. By the time there’s more bone than meat, you’ll find yourself gnawing away as if you were si ing in a cave rather than designer Christian Liaigre’s elegantly imposing restaurant.

WHAT YOU’LL FIND JUST OUTSIDE: A two-anda-half-acre speck of foliage just off Sri Lanka’s south coast, Taprobane is close enough to the mainland that guests can wade ashore, although some opt to make the 200-yard journey by elephant. You’re only about 15 miles from the 16th-century Portuguese enclave (and UNESCO World Heritage Site) Galle Fort, and you don’t have to wander too far to find a Buddhist temple, rain forest or beach bar, either.

IDEAL GUEST: Superficially, Puerta América guests might seem a li le intimidating, with their rollneck sweaters and habit of using words like “cozy” as though it’s a terrible insult. Underneath that sharp exterior, though, they’re just endearingly passionate about architecture. Buy them a martini in Jean Nouvel’s red-tinged SkyNight Bar, which looks out over the Madrid skyline, and they’ll explain exactly why this is the coolest place in the world.

BACKSTORY: The property was originally built by an eccentric Frenchman in the 1920s, on what was then known as Cobra Island (locals used it as a dumping spot for venomous snakes). A favored destination for a string of artsy types a er World War II, Taprobane was sold to American writer Paul Bowles for 5,000 British pounds in 1951 a er its owner racked up gambling debts. Bowles wrote about the island, as did Arthur C. Clarke, who visited it during Bowles’ tenure.

DESIGN NOTES: Taprobane’s five-bedroom neo-palladian house, with its cool white terrazzo floors and high wooden ceilings, is surrounded by tropical gardens. Its abundance of flora-filled terraces blurs the line between interior and exterior, while its four-poster, mosquito-ne ed beds ensure that the illusion isn’t taken too far.

TRAVEL ESSAY || culture shadowy lumps, yellowish blurs, swaths of golden scrub. It was a vision of such glorious desolation, I felt obliged to write a poem—which, inexplicably, ended up being about nuclear war. As for the content of the piece, the opening verse should suffice: I hear you sing, but the thunderclap pushes your voice from my mind.

I see you dance, but the lightning flashes (flashes!) flashes for a second I’m blind.

TM

That parenthetical “flashes!” was intended to be whispered by a sort of backing poet, creating an overlapping vocal tapestry of existential futility. That’s how it was with me then— wherever I went, I took my journal with me, unflaggingly eager to compose an elegy to a fallen leaf or an ode to the beauty of a cornflake. And God forbid I should find myself in the presence of something genuinely inspiring—say, a painting—which would inevitably unleash a torrent of verse featuring insensate eyes that somehow see so much more than my own.

Travel was a problematic undertaking for me. Once, on a windy day in St. Petersburg, I followed a discarded plastic bag for about three miles, convinced it had something to tell the world about the illusion of free will. Another time, I spent an entire a ernoon staring at a statue of George Washington in the Boston Public Garden, an exercise that resulted in a stirring political piece titled “The Colonial Heart.” As for the weeping hillsides of England’s Lake District, the less said about those the be er.

But there is more. So bountiful were my insights into the true nature of things back then, they tended to overflow in the course of normal conversation. I remember being in a bar in San Francisco once and asking an a ractive young woman if she thought it ironic that we humans pride ourselves on our ability to reason, and yet there we were, dulling our intellect with alcohol and empty chatter. “I don’t know,” the woman replied, lining up a pool shot. “I’ve never thought about it that pretentiously before.”

Things are different now. I’m a middleaged man. When I travel these days, my mind is far more likely to be occupied by

44

R1_p043-044_HEM0714_TravelEssay.indd 44

the question of whether the person next to me is monopolizing the armrest than it is trying to find a suitable rhyme for “boarding pass.” It’s not so strange to me now that the rational animal blurs his mind with booze; it’s strange that he’s prepared to pay seven bucks a pop to do so. As for that wind-swept Baltic ferry— well, that’s a chest cold waiting to happen.

And this, of course, is how it should be.

People my age aren’t supposed to indulge in melodrama, egotism and brutally tortured metaphors. We’re supposed to buckle down, get on with it. Check the pocket for the passport before we leave, make sure we see all the important bits when we arrive. Step over the trash.

Photograph the statue. Call for a taxi. Fly home. We do not gyrate our increasingly bri le hips at all-night dance parties, and we do not search ticket stubs for clues about the human condition. If it were otherwise, the human race would have expired long ago, succumbing to a combination of embarrassment and boredom.

Which brings us back (old habits die hard) to me.

I still have that old journal somewhere.

I haven’t wri en in it for decades, but I did flick through it a while back, wincing at some parts, smiling at others. For all the buffoonery and bluster in its pages, there were passages that made me wonder what I might have lost in the process of growing up. It seems kind of wonderful now that a plastic bag “snagged by a passing breeze” should have stayed with me for all these years. And I like the idea that I built a story for that bag in a dank Russian backstreet while others stood frowning before classical porticos, wondering if the columns supporting them were Doric or Ionic or what.

Therein lies the trade-off. Where once a journey might have brought on a swirl of impressions and emotions, fantasies and false memories, today I am more like those frowning column-watchers, intent on knowing the world to the extent that I sometimes forget to be in it. Ask me about the places I have visited over the last decade, and I will provide you with a thorough inventory; ask me what I felt while I was there, and I’ll probably have to make something up.

AUTO-TATION FLORENCE/FERRARI FF

PRICE: $295,000

ITALIAN RED A family ride through Italian wine country in a Ferrari FF

BY JAMES WILLIAMS

EXTERIOR Italians love their Ferraris as much as they love their art and wine. We decided to sample all three on a drive from Bologna to the vineyards of Chianti, via Florence. The FF’s hunched “shooting-brake” body turned plenty of heads along the way—a er all, a four-seater hatchback Ferrari is a rare sight.

TRUNK FF stands for “Ferrari Four” (as in four wheel drive) but it could easily be “family friendly.” Racer dads won’t have to sell those hot wheels when the kids arrive, as you could easily squeeze a baby carriage in the trunk. In our case, it just meant we could easily stow some of Tuscany’s famous red wines.

ENGINE

HANDLING

The Autostrada is the perfect road for opening up the 660 bhp V12 engine. Top speed is 208 mph, and 0–60 takes just 3.7 seconds, so in a flash we were turning onto the S65, part of the old Mille Miglia rally route that crosses the Apennines. By lunchtime we were able to glimpse Florence’s domes through the treetops.

INTERIOR

A er touring the Uffizi Gallery, we continued south into wine country. The unpredictable roads really put the FF through its paces, and Ferrari’s 4RM system outshone other 4WDs, delivering maximum torque to each individual wheel, which, in addition to sporty and agile cornering, offered a high level of safety.

STEERING WHEEL

Florence’s tailors would approve of the leather interior

by Poltrona Frau. But you can also get seats made of material similar to that worn by Enzo Ferrari himself. The large windows (rare for a sports car) helped us enjoy views of the Ponte Vecchio. For the kids, who could care less, there are tablets in the seatbacks.

The controls on the steering wheel include a switch for ice, wet, comfort and sport se ings. Most important, the paddle shi s mean you never have to take your hands off the wheel. Another fun touch: LEDs that illuminate when you accelerate, as we found when we overtook a rusty old Fiat on a country lane.

DASHBOARD When we stopped at Greve in Chianti, a pre y town with bars serving local wine, we were grateful for the rear-mounted camera display: When you’re parking a $295,000 automobile, you’ll take all the help you can get. Another nice touch: the slim LCD screen on the passenger side, displaying revs, speed and the trip log.

EXHAUST Before we headed home, a crowd gathered around the FF, and it was clear they were waiting for something. So we gave it to them, firing up the two pairs of pipes and sounding the note Ferrari’s engineers worked so hard to achieve. By the looks on their faces, it was as if Pavaro i himself had just sounded off.

Florence, the Tuscan wine country and Ferrari’s Maranello factory are easy road trips for visitors to Milan, Italy. United flies BOARDING PASS there nonstop from its hub in New York/Newark.

wear in ... Amsterdam

SVEN SIGNE DEN HARTOGH He may call himself a university dropout, but this 21-year-old Dutchman is well educated in denim. As founder of The Stranded Sailors, an online lifestyle destination and community for jean fanatics, den Hartogh has strong opinions about how to wear your favorite pair.

INTERVIEW BY SARA LIEBERMAN PHOTOGRAPHY BY KEVIN VAN DIEST

Tell us about Amsterdam style.

It’s a cool style, but very common. You can see the trends in a ma er of seconds, like Nike runners and Dr. Martens.

So where in Amsterdam do you shop?

A lot of secondhand stores, like Episode in the 9 Streets area.

Why denim?

Because it’s for everyone! It really is a global product. I also really love that it ages over time and starts to fade. You can create your own personal story in the jean.

How many pairs do you own?

I’ve got, like, 20! For two years, I worked in the oldest jean store in the Netherlands, De Rode Winkel. These days, the pair I’m wearing the most are my Levi’s 510s. I’ve been wearing them every day for 14 months.

You’ve got a lot of tattoos. How many are there?

I have no clue. I lost count! My first were Asian signs that symbolized my grandfather’s willpower. The most recent one is a small anchor beneath my le eye.

Ouch. Can you take us through the outfit you’re wearing right now?

I like the combination of light blue denim with indigo pants, so I’m wearing Levi’s 501 jeans with a Lee 101 denim shirt and Lee sleeveless denim jacket. I wear a lot of [mixed] denim, usually with bandannas and scarves and a waistcoat for a gentleman touch. These are Red Wing boots. I like to invest once in good shoes that I can wear for 10 years, and I can wear these 24/7. This style is called “Iron Ranger Amber Harness.”

The Knee Diaries: SJ is a 60-year-old male with bone on bone osteoarthritis of the left knee. An X-ray showed arthritis of the knee (X-ray on the left). Patient started receiving treatments at The Center For Regenerative Medicine. Today he is feeling better (X-ray on the right).

This is how it works: The physician introduces Cell Therapy into damaged, arthritic cells by means of a precise injection. This process is followed by infrared laser as well as several other modalities including Collateral Artery Flow Exercises (C.A.F.E.), in order to accelerate the process. Depending on tissue damage, severity of the condition and the size of the joint that needs to be injected, people usually need a series of 1 to 6 treatments to improve. There is usually no down time, and people can go back to their usual activities or work immediately. The treatments can help most musculoskeletal problems such as low back pain, neck pain, knee pain, shoulder pain, whiplash, sciatica, tendinitis, sprain, strains, torn ligaments and cartilage damage.

such as Edinburgh, Berlin and Florence fought for the prestige and tourist bucks that Le Grand Départ brings. So who won it? Was it Edinburgh, with its gothic spires, or Florence, with its Renaissance palazzos? It was neither. In fact, the place chosen to host the 2014 Grand Départ was … Yorkshire?

Yorkshire, a county in the northeast of England, is famous for many things— windswept moors, Def Leppard, Yorkshire pudding—but hosting prestigious international sporting events is not one of them.

As Gary Verity, chief executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, and a key player in bringing Le Tour to England, points out, “Nothing ever has happened in Yorkshire that’s as big as the Tour de France Grand Départ, and nothing in my lifetime will probably ever happen in Yorkshire to match it.”

Seeing as one of the annual highlights in the Yorkshire sporting calendar is the World Coal Carrying Championship, in which competitors lug a hundredweight of, yes, coal up the main street of the town of Osse , he may have a point.

Verity anticipates that 2 million spectators will line up in the usually sleepy Yorkshire Dales on Day One alone, and the excitement in the county is palpable.

p050-053_HEM0714_TheFan.indd 52

“Just cycle around the route now,” Verity says, “and you’ll see yellow bikes hanging up in shop windows. In town centers you’ll see banners. There’s a huge excitement and a passion for it.” Andrew Denton, head of media for the Grand Départ, adds, “The Cragg Vale Community Association have tasked themselves with breaking the world record for bunting.”

Yet it’s not all enthusiasm and local ladies knitting their way to Guinness World Record glory up Yorkshire way. A startling controversy has also emerged, one that’s rather different from Le Tour’s scandals of yesteryear, like its doping hysterias, race-fixing allegations or that time in 1904 when one of the entrants slightly cheated by using a car. This year, a small band of protesters has emerged with a target they consider even more dangerous than Lance Armstrong’s steroid habit: the need to keep the encroaching hordes, with their pelotons and porta-po ies, off Yorkshire’s open grasslands. It’s an issue that has bi erly divided the community and has even reached the upper echelons of the British government. When it comes to open grassland in Yorkshire, c’est la guerre!

The 200-acre grassland, or “Stray,” as the locals call it, in the town of Harrogate is at

“Let us hope that the suspension of [the Harrogate Stray Act] does not result in a Tour de Farce.” the heart of this ba le. As the center of operations for Le Tour’s Yorkshire finale, 48 acres of the Stray will be taken up with trucks, bikes, helicopters, temporary accommodations, grandstands, kiosks and 300 toilets. A ruling from 1985 called the Harrogate Stray Act, however, limits events on the Stray to no more than 8.5 acres, and some locals planned to invoke this law to keep the event at bay. In order to override such obstruction, however, the Conservative cabinet minister Eric Pickles passed emergency legislation to suspend the Stray Act—the first time such powers have ever been used. Some

THE FAN || culture locals are understandably up in arms at this tyranny, with even Verity admi ing, “Yes, some people say, ‘What do we want a crowd for?’”

Leading the protest is an organization called the Stray Defence Association, aka the SDA. With an acronym that sounds more like a paramilitary group than a band of respectable townsfolk, the SDA’s sole aim is to protect the Stray from “encroachment from all quarters and uphold the Act granting freedom of the Stray to all people for all time.” The arrival of Le Tour and its millions of fans is no doubt the biggest ba le these local activists have faced since their group’s formation, in 1933. And how have they waged this war, with the Harrogate Stray Act temporarily revoked? With a delightfully English and oh-so-polite le er-writing campaign.

As SDA spokeswoman Judy d’A rcy Thompson protested in a dispatch to the editor of local newspaper The Harrogate Advertiser, “The Stray belongs to the people of Harrogate and its importance to the town is immeasurable. Let us hope that the suspension of its legal protection does not result in a Tour de Farce.”

Unfortunately, a empts to contact the SDA were to no avail, emails and le ers

going unanswered, their phone disconnected. Perhaps, like a true revolutionary force, they’ve gone underground (or, more likely, they’ve been forced to retreat by equally passionate Tour supporters in Yorkshire).

Still, anti-Tour sentiment continues to spread across Yorkshire, and even if the SDA have retreated into the shadows, others in Yorkshire have taken up the cause.

Christopher Caine is another protester, from neighboring York, who is fighting the power with a disapproving le er-writing campaign of his own. As Caine points out, “Nobody in Yorkshire is against the Tour per se, and we understand the benefits it’s going to bring to our part of the world.

But the Stray is an important part of our heritage, and they are riding roughshod all over it. Literally!”

Of course, this is not the first time Le Tour has incurred protests. Even the first Tour, in 1903, raised the anger of disgruntled locals, who threw tacks in front of the invading riders. Since then, Le Tour has been disrupted for all manner of reasons: anti-globalizationists briefly stopped the race in 2003; Basque separatists a empted the same in 2007; anti-gay-marriage protesters flanked the

route in a bid for publicity in 2013; and proindependence Corsicans have been scaring Le Tour away from their island for years.

Now, the genteel protectors of Yorkshire grasslands can count themselves part of this rebellious history.

Harrogate Borough Council, meanwhile, has tried to extend an olive branch to opponents, stating, “The council is keen to stress that as custodians of the Stray … the land will be well looked a er and will be fully reinstated (if necessary) a er the Tour has taken place.”

Grand Départ spokesman Denton agrees, saying, “When the race comes I think [the protesters] will appreciate what it’s bringing to Harrogate, and we’ll leave the Stray as we found it.”

Some, however, remain unconvinced.

“We’ll see if it’s true when the Tour’s been and gone,” says Caine. “We’re talking about a massive impact on the local environment, and I honestly don’t see how the Stray is going to remain unaffected by it.

And if it is affected, I’m going to send the council another bloody le er.”

HOW IT’S DONE

HIDING FROM MOSQUITOES IN PLAIN SIGHT You could call mosquitoes the scourge of the earth: They transmit some of the nastiest diseases known to man, including malaria, which kills hundreds of thousands of people a year. To protect themselves in at-risk areas, travelers and locals alike coat themselves in toxic DEET-based sprays, or take pills and shots that can have side effects. Anandasankar Ray, an entomology professor at UC Riverside, worked with an innovation company called ieCrowd to develop a be er way. Mosquitoes normally sniff us out by detecting the plumes of carbon dioxide we exhale; Ray learned that some natural smells can shut down the bugs’ carbon dioxide receptors, effectively rendering humans invisible to the pests. So to keep potential targets (that would be you and me) surrounded at all times by an invisibility cloak so effective it would make Harry Po er jealous, they developed colorful stickers called Kite Patches that stick to T-shirts. Here’s how they did it. —BY LINA ZELDOVICH

1 In his research, Ray noticed that mosquitoes dislike diacetyl—a byproduct of yeast fermentation that’s present in beer and wine.

When airborne, diacetyl can block the bugs’ carbon dioxide detectors. Unfortunately, it smells like rancid butter, so Ray combed through thousands of FDA-approved food additives and odorants to find compounds that worked the same way but didn’t stink.

2 To test the compounds, Ray used a microscope to place tiny electrodes in the carbon dioxide receptors in mosquitoes’ “noses.”

Then he exposed them to the test smells. The electrical signals, which are similar to those in electrocardiograms, showed that the smells incapacitated the receptors. Ray sent his findings to ieCrowd, which would figure out how to add the compounds to stickers.

p055_HEM0714_BrightIdeas.indd 55

3 Next, ieCrowd tested the stickers in chambers the size of small buildings—big enough to accommodate mock huts where patch-wearers sat surrounded by hundreds of pests. The tests worked: When the mosquitoes approached people wearing patches, they became confused and zipped away. Now, ieCrowd is preparing to test the patches in Uganda, where malaria is a major problem.

more permutations (polo shirts come in 80 colors), the chain outsold Gap last year and is closing in on H&M and Zara. Going forward, its parent company, Fast Retailing, plans to open 20 to 30 stores a year in America, part of a bid to make Uniqlo the world’s No. 1 clothing retailer by 2020.

Also expanding in the U.S. is Muji, which embraces Japan’s obsession with pared-back style to the point that it makes the Amish look like the Village People. This lifestyle “anti-brand,” with its emphasis on “self-restraint,” has flourished by upholding the quality of its products while ditching superfluous features (its clothing doesn’t even have labels inside). Muji aims to swell its nine American stores to around 75 by 2016.

As for why Japan should suddenly find itself flexing its muscles in U.S. shopping malls, that may come down to a ma er of right place, right time. “Japanese sensibilities chime with American consumers at the moment,” says Jan Randolph, an economist at the counsultancy group IHS Global Insight. “Heritage, a ention to detail, a lessis-more approach and an accent on service are things people have come to appreciate more since the financial collapse.”

Marian Berelowitz, interim director of trendspotting at the marketing communications brand JWT, agrees. Japanese culture, Berelowitz says, is “definitely in step with the rise in mindful living, the Zen-like

appeal of simple pleasures and the desire to filter out branding and distractions.”

On a less spiritual level, two Japanese convenience store giants have announced U.S. expansion plans. Famima!!, an upmarket food store owned by Tokyo’s Family Mart, already has operations in California, and Lawson has opened several outlets in Hawaii, selling onigiri and oden next to the piña colada mix.

Meanwhile, American cities will soon succumb to the charms of Aki-Home, which aims to lure Ikea-oriented urbanites by offering “tasteful minimalism with a nod to nature.” Part of Sapporo-based Nitori Holdings, Aki-Home has just opened two stores on the West Coast as a springboard to nationwide expansion over the next few years.

Christian Davies, executive creative director for the Americas at the branding and retail consultancy Fitch, believes Japan is set to present a significant challenge to design-led yet low-cost companies like Ikea.

“They make you question why good design is traditionally so expensive,” he says. “And they make you realize, with clever manufacturing techniques and simple, mass detailing, that it doesn’t have to be.”

As for the Japanese commitment to service, Davies says that such an approach could prove pivotal in the current existential struggle between actual and virtual retailers. “This is something we desperately need,” he says. “The

ny restaurant manager worth his reservation book knows Athan that Yelp reviews are more about the people who write them they are about the food. But recently, a few scientists

from Stanford and Carnegie Mellon endeavored to figure out exactly what that meant, using linguistic analysis on almost 888,000 Yelp reviews on 6,548 different onth’s restaurants. According to their recent paper in the m is h t NG I Z journal First Monday, positive reviews of inexpensive A AM CT restaurants contained a disproportionate amount of FA drug-related words, like “jonesing,” “binge” and “drug of choice.” Reviews of expensive restaurants, meanwhile, included more complex words, and more sensual and even sexual terms, like “lust,” “sultry” and “pornographic.” The researchers believe this can partly be explained by the fact that tasty inexpensive food tends to be sugary, fatty or otherwise bad for you, while consumers of expensive food like to portray themselves as sensual gourmands.

As Japanese retailers continue to blaze a trail across the U.S., there are signs that American companies are starting to take notice. Some fashion outlets, for example, are experimenting with â&#x20AC;&#x153;quiet zones,â&#x20AC;? while a few convenience store chains are considering the radical notion of intentionally employing friendly clerks.

The irony here is that many successful Japanese retailers owe a massive debt to their American counterpartsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;albeit sometimes ones from a bygone era. AkiHome, for instance, was modeled on the homeware stores that founder Akio Nitori encountered on a 1970s trip to California.

WHEN ELISA ALL launched iParenting Media back in 1996, she did so in almost total isolation, building her business at home with an infant.

TECH || BRIGHT IDEAS occurence. As dispiriting as such statistics may be, says All, who’s currently working on video-streaming apps and a website for moms on the go, they don’t even begin to describe the difficulty female tech entrepreneurs encounter in trying to build their businesses. The networking events she a ends usually resemble an old-boys club, she says, in which investors “throw money at the male tech superstars” and dismiss companies like hers as “fluffy women things.” But thanks to female-friendly incubators like the Chicago-based 1871, the 45-year-old All can talk to mentors, pitch investors and tap business resources in a way that was impossible before.

“You are plopped into a thriving community with other entrepreneurs,” she says. “I was accepted and welcomed here.”

Of the 240 startups at 1871, which investor and philanthropist J.B. Pritzker set up a couple of years ago, more than 25 percent include women among the founders, and this fall, the organization aims to boost those already impressive numbers with the launch of FEMtech, a program that will offer female entrepreneurs from around the world the financial and logistical support they’ll need to turn ideas into businesses.

A big part of the work FEMtech will do as it develops is help women with children balance work and family commitments.

Networking events, for example, will be scheduled at midday rather than the conventional late-a ernoon happy hour.

“The end of the day is a horrible time if you are a parent,” says Howard Tullman, 1871’s CEO. This family-friendly approach is a rarity in the “bro-gramming” world of Silicon Valley—where you are far more likely to encounter a foosball table than a nursery. In fact, even in this supposedly progressive milieu, caveman a itudes are rife. “This can be a very difficult place for women,” California-based employment a orney Kelly M. Dermody says of Silicon Valley. “They are o en not given credit on work, are excluded from networking, are sexually harassed. Many leave.”

Women may be at a disadvantage in the tech field long before they set foot in the workplace. Studies show girls’ propensity to shy away from math and science begins in elementary school and continues through college. In 2012, for example, women received 57 percent of all undergraduate degrees in the U.S., but only 12 percent of the computer science degrees awarded by major research universities.

The family-friendly approach is a rarity in the “bro-gramming” world of Silicon Valley, where you are far more likely to encounter a foosball table than a nursery.

And yet, as Tullman puts it, the “dirty li le secret of tech startups” is that you don’t necessarily need a computer science degree. “You don’t have to geek out,” he says. “No one is doing machine code. You need to devote resources to design and user interface. There is no reason why women cannot play a more significant role.” This is certainly true of All, who studied journalism in college and had a freelance writing and editing business before launching her startups.

For All, the beauty of FEMtech is that it will allow her to share her insights and experiences with women who face the same problems she has encountered since she entered the field 18 years ago.

And one of the first messages she wants to impart is that hers is not so much a story of female empowerment as it is one of good business sense.

CRISTINA ROUVALIS, a Pittsburgh-based writer, is considering learning how to code.

THE HEMI Q&A

Jane Goodall In 1960, the world’s foremost primatologist, ethologist and anthropologist got her start observing apes in Tanzania’s Gombe Stream National Park. Now 80, she’s Mother Nature’s greatest champion, and she still has a few lessons for the rest of us.

THE HEMI Q&A: JANE GOODALL

THERE WAS A TIME when the idea of the scientist-adventurer captivated the public imagination—when young men and women boarded ships with their binoculars and logbooks and risked everything for a chance to a ain a place in the scientific pantheon. Dame Jane Goodall is in a sense the last of these swashbucklers, who needed as much backbone as brains to trek to the undiscovered bits of the earth and uncover their mysteries ies for the rest of us.

Goodall’s life reads like Dr. Doli le by way of Pygmalion. In 1956, 956, at 23 years old and without so much as a college degree, she traveled led to Africa to work as a secretary for famed anthropologist Louis Leakey. akey.

Four years later, she was alone in the jungle in what is now Tanzania, ania, developing a strategy for interacting with the local chimps so that hat she could study and film them. When she observed that the chimps ps were hunting and using sticks as tools, the entire scientific commmunity was forced to reconsider the difference between man and d the great apes. Goodall has been a household name ever since, and d is among only a handful of scientists to have obtained the statuss of pop culture icon. She has been referenced in the comic “The Far ar Side” and even on an episode of “The Simpsons.”

Though at the age of 80 Goodall has reached the emeritus stage of her career, she is as busy as ever acting as a spokeswoman for Mother Nature. She still travels the world as a UN Messenger of Peace, and she encourages human beings to be be er stewards of the earth through the Jane Goodall Institute and Roots & Shoots, her international children’s program. Her latest book, Seeds of Hope, expresses both fears and wishes for the planet that has hosted her and her animal companions all these years.

Hemispheres recently reached Goodall by phone at her family home in Bournemouth, England, where she was relaxing before a quick trip to Belgium, Holland, Spain, France, e, Australia, New Zealand, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Burundi,i, Tanzania and Kenya.

HEMISPHERES: You’ve got quite a trip

coming up. What will you be doing?

JANE GOODALL: I’ll be doing events for Roots & Shoots, talking to children, helping them raise money to keep their own institutes going through 2018. And they’ll want to give me birthday parties.

HEMISPHERES: Oh yes, happy birthday!

AP (GOODALL AND VAN LAWICK); DAVID S. HOLLOWAY/GETTY IMAGES (ROOTS & SHOOTS); KENNAN WARD/CORBIS (GOODALL HOLDING CHIMP)

Eighty is quite a milestone. And you’re still so busy! How is Roots & Shoots doing?

GOODALL: The program began with 12 high school students in Tanzania in 1991, and it’s now in 136 countries with about 150,000 to 160,000 active groups. Now the kids are all ages. The main message is “Every individual makes a difference every day. And we have a choice.” So every group chooses, between them, three projects. One to help people, one to help other animals and one to help the environment that we all share. What they do depends on where they are, how old they are, what their passions are and what the problems are.

HEMISPHERES: It seems as though you’re

encouraging kids to have the same excitement about the environment that you do.

GOODALL: Yeah, about the environment and about social issues, too. It’s empowering young people, because they talk about what they care about, and then they work out what they can do about it, and then they roll up their sleeves and take action.

HEMISPHERES: So I have to ask the obvious question: After a lifetime spent working with great apes and other animals, why write Seeds of Hope, a book about plants?

GOODALL: It started because the last book I wrote before this was Hope for Animals and Their World, and it was about animals rescued from the brink of extinction. I had a section on plants rescued from the brink of extinction, because that’s equally exciting, but the

HEMISPHERESMAGAZINE.COM • JULY 2014

publishers thought the book was too long, and they chopped it. I felt very sad for all the botanists who had been so excited to be in a book by Jane. So I thought, Well, I’ll just pull together what I know about plants and boost it up a li le bit, and publish a very slim book, which maybe a botanical garden would publish. And then it was as though the plants put li le roots in my head and said, “Hey Jane, you spent all your life helping animals. It’s our turn now. You wouldn’t be here but for us.”

HEMISPHERES: Some of those plants that made it back from the precipice were pretty inspiring, like the ones that survived the atomic bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

It’s almost as if they have personalities.

GOODALL: They do, and with the knowledge that we now have that they can communicate through chemical signals in the breeze, or through their roots—who knows what their secret life really is like?

HEMISPHERES: Now I’m concerned that

Then if that man appeared again—not another man, but the same one—the plants who hadn’t been slashed put out all these strange electrical signals.

that one.

GOODALL: Well, there’s a growing awareness. More and more people are understanding that climate change is real. Mother Nature’s been telling us, hasn’t she?

ACK IN THE DAY, people had to create their own adventures. You’d tie a couple of wooden slats to your feet and go barreling down a snow-covered mountain, say, or grab a piece of vine, Tarzan-style, and swing yourself out over a lake. Today, extreme sports enthusiasts are using a combination of technological know-how and an apparently limitless appetite for near-death experiences to create faster, trickier, nuttier ways to get an adrenaline fix. Every week, it seems, some bright spark will introduce an imaginative gadget or technique that allows people to soar, plunge, twirl, whiz and boing around perilously. Here, we take a look at some of the more recent, and extreme, innovations.

WINGSUIT FLYING + Requirements: Wingsuit, parachute, helmet, high place from which to jump, faith. + Best place to do it: Because wingsuit flying requires, well, falling, many participants BASE jump first (BASE is an acronym for building, antenna, span and earth). One of the most popular spots is in the scenic Lauterbrunnen Valley in Switzerland. + Origins: Though wingsuiting may look futuristic, versions of it have been around since the early 1900s, when suits made of canvas or silk, wood and whalebone proved to be a li le bit spla y. Modern wingsuiting, with its durable, lightweight materials, was born in 1999, when Jari Kuosma of Finland and Robert Pečnik of Croatia developed the first commercially available suit. + The experience: “Wingsuit flying is one of those things that you have to experience in order to truly understand it,” says Jeb Corliss, an American skydiver and BASE jumper who has leaped from the Eiffel Tower, Sea le’s Space Needle and Rio's Christ the Redeemer statue. “Trying to explain this to people is hard. If a person hasn’t experienced love, it’s very difficult to explain what it is, you know? Wingsuit flying is similar.”

SUBWING + Requirements: Motorboat, water, hydrodynamic wings, goggles, reasonably taut swimsuit elastic.

MOTOCROSS + ICE SKATING + ROLLER DERBY = ICE CROSS DOWNHILL

ICE CROSS DOWNHILL + Requirements: Ice skates, helmet, hockey pads, ice chute, a reliable organ donor. + Best place to do it: Not surprisingly, one of the best competition tracks for this sport is in Minnesota, the “State of Hockey,” where 1,300 perilous feet of bumps, jumps and abrupt turns snake through downtown St. Paul. + Origins: While its history is murky, ice cross reportedly got its start in 2000, when two adventurous Austrians wore skates on an icy downhill rollerblading course. A year later, a sport was born when Red Bull held the first official competition—ominously dubbed “Crashed Ice”—on a course the company built through a fish market in Stockholm.

+ Origins: Norwegian Simon Sivertsen came up with the idea for the subwing as an 18-year-old in 2011. As he tells it, he’d tied a piece of dri wood to a waterskiing rope and found that he could use it to change course while being towed underwater.

A year later he’d produced the Subwing, a pair of swiveling flaps that allow the user to “glide through the water like a dolphin.” + The experience: “This feeling of flying underwater is incredible,” says Mats Westgård, Sivertsen’s cousin and an enthusiastic proponent of the sport. “You feel free, like a fish. You can do tricks, 360-degree turns, spins. I

+ Best place to do it: Bonaire, a tiny island about 50 miles north of Venezuela, which is known for its abundance of coral species and embarrassment of sea life— including turtles, who will be grateful that you’re not grabbing hold of their shells in order to get around.

+ The experience: “Imagine going as fast as you can while being on the verge of falling,” says Minnesota native Cameron Naasz, winner of the Moscow leg of this year’s Ice Cross World Championship. “You just teeter-to er that line and also have to make a crazy straight or turn while there are 100,000 people watching you.”

sometimes hold the cable with my feet, or stand on my cousin’s back. And of course you get to see the world beneath the water. It’s hard to explain the feeling.”

CHRISTIAN HEEB/LAIF/REDUX (VOLCANO SURFING)

WATER SKIING + SNORKELING = SUBWING

VOLCANO SURFING + Requirements: Modified snowboard, jumpsuit, ash slope, faulty survival instincts. + Best place to do it: The Cerro Negro volcano, Nicaragua. + Origins: In 2004, Darryn Webb, the Australian founder of the Bigfoot Hostel in León, Nicaragua, started toying with the idea of hurtling down the side of the nearby Cerro Negro. He experimented with everything from ma resses to mini-fridges before se ling on a steel-reinforced snowboard.

Riders—who can avail themselves

of special Bigfoot packages— either sit or stand on the boards, and have been clocked at speeds in excess of 50 mph. + The experience: “It is an incredible thrill,” says Joshua Berman, co-author of the Moon Nicaragua travel guide and one of the first people to try the sport. “First, you hike up and see all these mountains. Then you point yourself downhill and get going.

You’re avoiding sulfur vents, rocks flying the whole way down. And, yes, this is the youngest and most active volcano in Nicaragua, so there’s that element to it, too.”

SKISHING + Also known as: Extreme surfcasting. + Requirements: Wetsuit, flippers, surfcasting rod, gills. + Best place to do it: Any shoreline with large fish and few sharks.

Skishing’s creator is fond of Montauk, New York. + Origins: Paul Melnyk, who is credited with inventing the sport, accidentally skished for the first time when he fell from a rock into the ocean while ba ling a 40-pound striped bass. At first he was alarmed, but then he saw the experience for what it was: an exhilarating water sport that had the added benefit of providing dinner. + The experience: “You have to balance, mostly by kicking with your feet,” says Melnyk.

“It’s you fighting the fish with your whole body, instead of standing on a boat and pulling.

I was gonna call it ‘swishing,’ but that didn’t sound right, so

I changed it to skishing—ski fishing—because a big fish will pull you around pre y well. It can drag you 10 feet at a time. That’s the most exciting part.”

SWIMMING + FISHING + WATER SKIING = SKISHING

FLYBOARDING + Requirements: $5,800 flyboard, obsession with Back to the Future Part II, spine made entirely out of rubber bands. + Best place to do it: A relatively flat body of water that’s at least eight feet deep. The Mediterranean near Marseilles is a popular destination, as is Doha, Qatar, where the Flyboard World Cup was held in 2012 and 2013.

POWERBOCKING + Requirements: A pair of springloaded stilts, knee pads, elbow pads, chin pads, bu ock pads, etc.

CHANDLER KAUFFMAN (SKISHING); PASCAL POCHARD-CASABIANCA/AFP/GETTY IMAGES (FLYBOARDING); JOERG MODROW/LAIF/REDUX (POWERBOCKING)

+ Best place to do it: Any space free of trees and other potentially painful obstacles (unless the tree happens to have a cat stuck in it). + Origins: Powerbocks were patented in 2004 by a German aerospace engineer named Alexander Böck, who’d been inspired to create his springloaded stilts, it is said, a er looking at a kangaroo. The devices, which allow users to run at speeds of over 20 mph and jump as high as eight feet, may have spawned more fist-bumping than any other product in history. In 2008, they featured in the closing ceremony of the Beijing Olympics. + The experience: “You can do pre y much anything on these things,” says Sco Loeser, a former gymnast who has been described as the Tiger Woods of powerbocking, and who gives exhibitions around the U.S. “You can jump over cars, do a flying Superman flip, grab someone’s hat as you go by. It’s exhausting but exhilarating. I’ll be running and my steps will be eight feet long. It’s like there’s no gravity.”

+ Origins: “Hey, McFly … those boards don’t work on water.

Unless you’ve got power”—or one of Franky Zapata’s flyboards.

A er the world champion Ski-Doo racer developed a design for a hoverboard but was too afraid to try it out, the Frenchman combined it with his favorite personal watercra to make it less dangerous. The result was a hit: The Flyboard became commercially available in 2011, and there was a world championship the next year.

PORTLAND || THREE PERFECT DAYS PORTLAND HAS MORE than its share of nicknames—Stumptown, Brewvana, Bridgetown, PDX, Rip City, the City of Roses—but odds are you haven’t heard many of them. Despite being home to iconic indie artists like Gus Van Sant and Ellio Smith, not to mention some of the best microbreweries in the world, to most people Portland is just a small Pacific Northwest city that gets a lot of rain.

Recently, though—due in part to “Portlandia,” the IFC comedy that lovingly lampoons hipster culture—Portland’s public profile has been on the rise. The city (mo o: “Keep Portland Weird”) has become a magnet for creative types, drawn to its bookstores, record shops, music venues, public artworks and ta oo parlors.

As Fred Armisen puts it on “Portlandia,” it’s “a city where young people go to retire.”

But you don’t have to be a clued-in 20-something to enjoy Portland. Thick with public parks and surrounded by pristine forests and mountains, it’s a dream locale for outdoors enthusiasts. The damp climate and proximity to first-rate farms also provide the thriving restaurant, winery and brewery scene with an abundance of fresh ingredients. Those seeking traditional cultural outlets, meanwhile, can avail themselves of Portland’s museums and art galleries, many of which have taken over industrial spaces across the city.

Today, the national media’s appreciation for the city has become so ardent that locals refer to the blitz of coverage as “stalking.” But Portlanders remain exceedingly friendly—you shouldn’t be surprised if one offers you a ride into town from the airport and regales you with recommendations the whole way. People are especially cheery in the summer, when the clouds part, brewpub patios hum, and cycling becomes the only acceptable form of transportation, be it to an art fair or an organic grocery.

DAY ONE | You wake up at the Ace Hotel, a boutique property in Portland’s revitalized West End neighborhood, and immediately rue your lack of skinny jeans. The Ace is quintessential Portland: Leonard Cohen lyrics painted on the walls, a photo booth in the lobby, a record player in your room. It sometimes feels a bit too cool for school—but you’d probably adopt this attitude too if Gus Van Sant had filmed Drugstore Cowboy in your house.

You’re feeling coffee and doughnuts this morning, in part because Portland does those two things better than anywhere else. On your way out the door, you grab a latte from Stumptown Coffee Roasters, then take a short walk down Burnside, the street that separates Portland’s north and south sides. Here you find Voodoo Doughnut, a legendary line-around-theblock fried-dough joint, where you pound down a bacon maple bar and the store’s eponymous confection, a chocolatecovered voodoo doll with raspberry jelly

innards and a pretzel stick protruding from its chest.

Somewhat overfed, you take a vigorous two-mile stroll over to Washington Park, in the West Hills, where you are instantly soothed by the sculpted flora of the Portland Japanese Garden. Transfixed, you half walk, half float past the koi pond and the stone garden and onto the back porch of the pavilion, where a resplendent view of Mount Fuji—er, Mount Hood—causes you to catch your breath.

From here, it’s a few flights of stone stairs down to the International Rose Test Garden. Founded in 1924, this is the oldest continually operating public rose garden in America, and quite possibly the pre iest.

You wander through a maze of multicolored hedgerows, admiring the apparently endless variety of Portland’s signature flower—Be y Boops, Scarborough Fairs, Blueberry Hills. You’d stop to smell them, but with more than 10,000 roses in the garden, that would take all summer.

You step up to Nong’s Khao Man Gai and order the signature dish, a Thai street creation comprising rice and poached chicken topped with a hot sauce that torches your taste buds. They die happy.

A er lunch, you make a pilgrimage to Powell’s City of Books. The world’s largest independent bookstore, Powell’s takes up an entire city block and is so cavernous that the information desks provide maps.

You head to the fourth-floor rare book room, where used book buyer Kirsten Berg shows you a copy of D-Day narrative The Longest Day that includes an inscription from the author to Eleanor Roosevelt.

“I love the things people stick in books,” she says. The volume’s price tag ($2,000) is prohibitive, so you pick up a copy of local author Katherine Dunn’s fantastically

PORTLAND || THREE PERFECT DAYS with fruit and a bite of coriander. “Trust me,” Johnson says of the odd-sounding flavors. You do, and are duly rewarded.

From Breakside it’s a short bus ride to your dinner spot, Lincoln Restaurant. The first eatery opened by “Top Chef Masters” alum Jenn Louis, Lincoln offers Pacific Northwest cuisine that emphasizes local ingredients. You start with one of the few exceptions to this rule—the slow-cooked, impossibly tender grilled octopus— followed by baked hen eggs and FortySeven Percent Chicken, wryly named, Louis explains, because, served minus the wing, “it’s not a half chicken.” Even a few percent shy, it’s an exceptionally good bit of bird.

It’s late, so you head back toward the Ace. On impulse, you decide on one more detour before bed: Pépé le Moko, a narrow subterranean bar that feels like the dining car of a train going through a tunnel. Your bartender, Talia Gordon, insists you try a Grasshopper. “It’s like an adult milkshake,”

THE ATTAINMENT OF BREWVANA Portland raises beer to a higher level Craft-brewed beer has become increasingly popular in America, with microbreweries popping up in San Diego, Brooklyn and everywhere in between.

But no city has quite the obsession with suds that Portland has had since the state legislature legalized brewpubs in 1985.

“Brewvana” is now home to 53 breweries and counting. So why is Portland such a great place for beer?

“We’ve got 25 percent of the world’s hops within three hours of Portland,” says Christian Ettinger, owner and brewmaster of Hopworks Urban Brewery (pictured) and Hopworks Bike Bar, which specialize in organic beer. “You’ve got the most amazing soft water coming off Mount Hood. You’ve got good access to barley. One of the best craft yeast laboratories is also on Mount Hood. So you’ve got all four ingredients being supplied in a local way.”

There are so many great breweries in and around Portland that there are tours devoted to them. Ashley Rose Salvitti started her company, Brewvana, in 2011. She now has three buses and runs about 10 tours a week. “The community in Portland supports beer,” Salvitti says. “You can go to your barbershop and drink beer. You don’t want to go see a movie unless you can be served beer. It’s in everything we do.”

If you’re looking for a crash course in local beer, the annual Oregon Brewers Festival, which features more than 80 craft breweries, takes place at Tom McCall Waterfront Park July 23–27. The festival draws 80,000 people, so if you’re planning to attend, Ettinger advises you develop a strategy. “Go in with a plan,” he says. “Go in early, so everything you want is available. Go there with friends, because that’s what beer is all about. And stay hydrated.”

she says, passing you a glass of mint green froth. The booze snob in you is skeptical, but you slurp it down and decide that all desserts should taste like this. Later, back in your room, you dri off to Ellio Smith whispering from the turntable: “I’ll show you around this alphabet town.”

DAY TWO | You shake yourself awake, relaxing for a few minutes in the boxing robe you find in the closet, before stumbling outside and around the corner, past a sculpture made of intertwined kids’ bicycles, to Tasty n Alder. You take a seat at the impressively stocked bar and order a couple of proven restoratives: a Kentucky Peach—basically a bellini with a splash of bourbon—and a Hangtown Fry, an oyster and bacon fri ata served with a huge bu ermilk biscuit.

Substantially recovered, you stroll over to the Portland Saturday Market, a sprawl of artists’ stalls, food carts and cra vendors stretching along the Willamette River waterfront and under the Burnside Bridge.

You skirt a large crowd circled around a semi-competent juggler and snake through booths selling handmade jewelry, Oregonthemed clothing and images of Mount Hood rendered in every possible medium.

It’s a bit too crowded to really stretch your legs here, though, so you wander along the South Park Blocks, a stretch of greenery where you find lush oak and maple trees, roses (naturally), statues of Teddy Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln, and a wedding party snapping photos.

You stop to stare up at the Portlandia statue, a trident-bearing woman that, at 36 feet tall, is the second largest hammeredcopper statue in America (after some French lady in New York). You’re surprised to find the sun starting to feel a li le too hot, so you head a couple blocks west for respite at the Portland Art Museum, where you while away an hour or so among the killer whale masks and intricately beaded bags in the Native American art gallery.

The feather-bedecked Raven to Sun Transformation Costume makes you want to go on a vision quest.

A er wolfing down a couple of carnitas tacos at another fine food cart, La Jarochita, it’s check-in time at your second hotel, the Sentinel. The 100-year-old building— a National Historical Landmark and a setting for Van Sant’s My Own Private Idaho—reopened this spring after a $6 million renovation, and its design

weird novel Geek Love and make for the cash register.

Your mini shopping spree isn’t over yet: You’re going to need some vinyl to spin on that hotel turntable. As it happens, there are two excellent record shops within three blocks of you: Everyday Music, where you pick up a copy of the late, great Ellio Smith’s self-titled album, and Jackpot Records, where you get the new record from local indie band Blind Pilot. Arturo Diaz, the store’s relaxed clerk, explains why Portland is a mecca for record shops. “It’s the pace of the town,” he says. “People slow down.”

“Brewvana,” as Portland is sometimes called, is also regarded as the cra -brewing capital of America. Commi ed to exploring another important aspect of local culture, you head to the east side, home to Breakside, one of the best brewpubs in town. Your fedora-wearing bartender, Jack Johnson, recommends the Salted Caramel Stout and a Kumquat Wit tinged

THREE PERFECT DAYS || PORTLAND offers a blend of past (the green leather armchairs and rugged wood tables in the lobby recall Oregon’s legacy as a timber capital) and future (robot sculptures on the facade). A nice touch is the typewriter in the lobby, where guests can tap out comments. You start to type “I PDX,” but there’s no heart symbol on the machine, so you head upstairs and sack out on your enormous bed for an a ernoon nap.

You wake feeling refreshed and hop a bus across the Morrison Bridge to sample the wares at Enso Urban Winery. You take a seat in the facility’s airy, industrial tasting room and order a flight of red wines. The Pacific Northwest has established itself as one of the best wine-growing regions in America, and the bold reds at Enso help explain why. “Oregon’s on the same parallel as Burgundy,” says bartender Henry Jinings. “The growing conditions are ideal.”

Whistle whetted, you take a cab to Southeast Division Street, Portland’s flourishing restaurant row. Your destination is Pok Pok, one of America’s most revered Thai restaurants. The hostess tells you there’s an hour wait for a table, so you put your name on the list and cross the street to its sister bar, Whiskey Soda Lounge, where you sit in the tented patio and order chili-flecked Ike’s Vietnamese Fish Sauce Wings (a highlight from the Pok Pok menu). Just as you finish washing them down with a tamarind whiskey

sour, a waitress informs you that your table is ready.

Pok Pok’s James Beard Award–winning chef, Andy Ricker, derives his menu from the cuisine of northern Thailand (no Pad Thai here). You sample a spicy, sour, wonderfully fresh papaya Pok Pok salad; the hoi thawt, a light crepe stuffed with eggs and fresh mussels; and kaeng hang leh, an outrageously rich pork curry with Burmese spices. Nothing tastes like anything else on the table, or anything else you’ve eaten anywhere. Forget sampling—you plow through it all like it’s the last meal you’ll ever eat.

A er dinner, the simple act of standing up poses a challenge, but you somehow manage to hail a cab and head to an eastside institution, the LaurelThirst Public House, one of the best places around to catch local folk and country acts. Tonight they’re hosting a Grateful Dead cover band, who’ve a racted an audience that consists of flailing college kids and old hippies, among them a white-bearded man in a tie-dyed shirt bearing a large wooden walking stick who looks like a HaightAshbury version of Gandalf.

You’re close to toast by the time you get back downtown, but you’ve got a reservation at the exclusive Multnomah Whiskey Library, where you sit in a leather-padded booth and take in the high-ceilinged brick barroom. On one side hang portraits of famed whiskey makers, including George

Washington, and on the other is the extensive “library”—the bar has old-fashioned ladders to reach the upper shelves—of whiskeys. You consider one of the cocktails, which are mixed tableside, but opt instead for an Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year bourbon, neat. Your server gives an approving nod, and you close your evening sipping one of the best spirits on the planet.

DAY THREE | You’ll be doing a bit of driving today. First you zip across the Fremont Bridge and up to Alberta Street, the main drag of the Alberta Arts District, which would be the Brooklyn of Portland if all of Portland weren’t the Brooklyn of Portland. Your destination is Beast. Here, chef Naomi Pomeroy, a 2014 James Beard Award winner, runs a bright, homey oneroom space with two large communal tables bracketing a prep station. Clearly, Beast’s reputation has traveled: All but two of the eight people at your table are out-of-towners.

“It’s always been this communal setup,” server Lisa Perry says. “You get to meet people you wouldn’t normally meet.” So it is you share a convivial four-course brunch of a rhubarb clafoutis (custard with whipped cream and bacon); a light hash made with pork shoulder, fresh vegetables and a poached duck egg; a cheese plate; and a thick cube of chocolate cake. It is possibly the best brunch you’ve ever eaten.

“Blue Star has really good doughnuts; Lardo does crazy sandwiches and bacon-dusted french fries; Ración does molecular gastronomy stuff. All three are boomboom-boom in the same building, so you can do a little food crawl.”

“People who grow up here or move here love it,” says Gin Hicks, an artist at Fortune Tattoo. “There’s an intense need to preserve it and nurture it and take care of it, and that rolls over into how people express themselves.” With this, she clicks off her tattoo gun, pulling away to admire her work.

“Dian Fossey was accepted by the gorillas, but she took it to the extreme.

I never did that.” people don’t change their behavior is that they feel they couldn’t make any difference. They feel helpless.

HEMISPHERES: I keep reading studies

about how much happier and healthier humans are if they have regular access to green spaces and plants. It would be such a shame to lose that. And it’s almost surprising that it needs to be said.

GOODALL: There are so many people that have no access to it—in the inner cities, where there are high crime rates and hopelessness and gangs.

HEMISPHERES: Speaking of that, there aren’t many modern scientists that resonate in popular culture the way you do. It’s pretty much you, Carl Sagan, Stephen Hawking and now Neil deGrasse Tyson that everyone knows—even if they don’t really follow science. Do you have a theory about why that is?

GOODALL: I think people were really fascinated by the chimpanzees, because they’re our closest living relatives. I was one of the first to actually write popular books about them. And we had all the documentaries. So I’m all tied up with this fascinating species.

HEMISPHERES: How much of your life would you say you’ve spent outside?

HEMISPHERES: And then there’s being

GOODALL: I couldn’t give a percentage, but an awful lot. [laughs]

one of the only people to be accepted into chimpanzee society. That’s pretty memorable. Were you ever afraid?

HEMISPHERES: And at 80, you seem pretty happy and healthy—do you credit your connection with nature for that?

GOODALL: I suppose I credit a lot of different things. The way I was brought up, the connection with nature. The inspirational people that I meet as I travel around the world. The fact that I feel that the message I’m giving is making a difference.

p064-067_84_HEM0714_Q&A_Jane_Goodall.indd 84

GOODALL: Eh. Sometimes. Dian Fossey was accepted by the gorillas, and she took it to the extreme. She would sit on the alpha male’s lap and she would make their sounds to them. I never did that. I didn’t want to. I wanted to be accepted in that they didn’t run away from me. I wanted to learn about them by watching them from my human perspective, to understand them. If you start being part of their group, then you’re influencing

GOODALL: Yes, they’re just about hanging in there. And now we’ve got this program with the nearby villagers so that they’ve become our partners.

We’ve been helping them to improve their own lives, so they’ve put land aside as a buffer between Gombe and the village. Some other villages that aren’t on Gombe’s border have put land aside to make a forest corridor [leading into the reserve]. We’ve had at least one chimp, possibly two, who’ve used that corridor and come into Gombe. There are fewer chimps than when I arrived in 1960, but they have more forest for their potential use than they had 10 years ago.

HEMISPHERES: You talk so much about

your garden in your new book. Do you do the gardening yourself, or are you too busy?

GOODALL: No, my sister Judy and her daughter do the gardening. I mean, I sit in it. But my rose is growing—the Jane Goodall rose. We have two of them growing here. Horticulturists in France named it for me. They said they wanted to develop a rose that had the most exquisite scent, and it climbed, because they see my spirit as climbing up. So it’s a climber. It took seven years to develop it.

HEMISPHERES: I really can’t think of a

better reward than having a rose named after you.

GOODALL: I have an orchid, too, in Singapore. It’s very beautiful. There’s a picture in the book. It’s yellow and sort of red. Lots of small flowers.

SOLVING THE AGING PROBLEM How w companies across America are working wor to provide rovide senior citizens with freedom, freed independence inde dependence ndence and the opportun opportunity o ortunity to age in their own home

WORDS BY DANIEL WELLBELOVE

SENIOR LIVING

A HEMISPHERES PROMOTION

Every day, close to 10,000 people across America are turning 65. An aging population is frequently cited as one of the biggest problems that the country has to address, not least because of the strain it puts on families and public services as seniors are forced to abandon much of their independence. In response, a number of companies have emerged with products and services that allow baby boomers to age healthily and happily, offering everything from a entive in-home care to assistance with breathing.

Some 2.5 million people in the U.S. alone are prescribed supplemental oxygen.

Historically, this meant using a large in-home system that made its own oxygen, and then switching to portable tanks when out and about. However, these tanks were restrictive and unwieldy, and the constant fear of running out meant many users soon stopped traveling and gave up much of their freedom.

“We saw a problem in the market and developed solutions for this,” says

Byron Myers, VP of marketing at Inogen, whose quiet and light portable concentrators offer unlimited oxygen as long as they can be plugged in and four-and-a-half hours on a single ba ery.

FAA-approved, they can be used through all stages of flight. “At only 4.8 pounds, the Inogen One G3 was designed to increase independence at home, away, or during travel for active oxygen therapy users.”

Myers was one of three students at University of California Santa Barbara to

form the company in 2001 a er seeing first-hand how one grandmother’s life changed when she began supplemental oxygen therapy. Since then, tens of thousands of patients across the country have benefi ed from the independence their invention provides. “So many people are still using traditional tanks and don’t know what is out there for them. This is a huge opportunity to help a lot of people,” says Myers.

Studies have found that close to 90% of seniors want to live in their own houses as long as possible, which has given birth to a thriving in-home care industry, with franchises growing in every corner of the country. And Always Best Care stands at the forefront, with more than 25,000 families helped since the company was founded in 1996. The company’s services span a wide range of personal and social considerations, and it also offers skilled clinical care in many of its locations. “We can combine the standards and stability of a national company with the close

The Senior Gems program takes a positive approach to the condition, with a focus on what a sufferer can do, rather than what they can’t. Caregivers are trained in a variety of techniques designed to foster communication and provide meaningful activities to do. “One of the biggest challenges with Alzheimer’s is environment changes, so if we can let that person stay home, then that really allows

for a much be er quality of life,” says Ross.

The company also differentiates itself in its work with veterans and their spouses, many of which are eligible for the Veterans Administration’s Aid and A endance Pension Benefit, which is a non-service connected pension benefit that reimburses them for their in-home care.

“A lot of veterans don’t even know that it exists,” says Ross. “We work with families to see if they qualify and, if so, they can receive the care they need to stay at home and fully enjoy their retirement.”

Another leader in the industry is Seniors Helping Seniors, which stands out with a unique approach to in-home care.

“We help less active seniors continue to live independently in their own homes with dignity and respect by matching them with more active seniors who provide them with all of the companionship and help they want,” says Kiran Yocom, who founded the company with her husband Philip in 1998.

In this set-up, not only does the less active senior receive all of the assistance required to live as comfortably as possible,

but both parties benefit from a strong friendship that arises out of the ability to relate to one another.

Born in India, Kiran worked with Mother Teresa for years before coming to America. This taught her the value of love and compassion—a quality the company seeks above anything else when se ing up new franchises. Seniors Helping Seniors is now established in over 100 locations across 30 states, all staffed by communities that help because they want to, not because they have to. “When our franchise partners put their heads on their pillows at night, they can feel very good about their day,” says Kiran.

Meanwhile, Home Care Assistance is commi ed to employing the best caregivers around, by offering the highest wages and top benefits in the industry, and training them in the company’s proprietary Balanced Care Method. This science-based approach is designed to promote healthy activity, stress reduction and social interaction; and was formulated based on studies of the elderly in Okinawa, Japan, where more people live longer and healthier than anywhere else on Earth and lifespans of over 100 years are not uncommon.

This is the first senior care solution in the U.S. to emphasize balance and longevity, with moderation and variety the key considerations when pu ing it together. Home Care Assistance caregivers receive continuous teaching on the importance of nutrition, exercise, social ties, and mental and spiritual health—and can now be found in close to 100 franchise locations across the country. The company has also published

A HEMISPHERES PROMOTION

TRANSPLANT Q&A

Dr. Rashid is a leading specialist in hair restoration with numerous national recognitions & awards, as well as dozens of medical research publications.

DR. RASHID, WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF THE SCAR IN THE IMAGE?

This scar can be seen with a traditional hair transplant involving a scalpel and stitches.

WHAT IF SOMEONE WANTS HAIR RESTORATION THAT IS PERMANENT AND NATURAL BUT WITHOUT THE ABOVE?

I recommend patients consider a Follicular Unit Extraction procedure.

AD

CAN YOU TELL US MORE ABOUT THIS?

This procedure can be done by hand, or using some of the more advanced technology such as Neograft or Artas.

WHAT EXPERIENCE DO YOU HAVE WITH DEVICES LIKE NEOGRAFT & THE ARTAS ROBOT?

We are one of the few centers with BOTH devices under one roof, and we often find that using a combination of both is most effective in some patients.

WHAT ADVANTAGES DO THESE DEVICES OFFER?

They are FDA approved, allow for NO linear scar, no stiches and no scalpel.

WHAT ABOUT LIFESTYLE BENEFITS?

Such a procedure allows faster recovery, and patients can wear their hair short without fear of revealing an unatural line on the back of their head.

seven books on senior wellness, offering practical advice and insight into the company’s approach to healthy aging.

Back at Always Best Care, the company offers a host of special programs, which it believes sets it apart from the field. These include its Always In Touch service, which provides a daily phone call to seniors and disabled adults who are living alone, and is the only free national reassurance program of its kind in the U.S. or Canada. “This gives a lifeline to seniors who may not have close personal contact, offering a voice that says, ‘Here’s someone that cares about you,’” says Parrish. In addition, its Always On Call service provides clients and their families with free 24/7 telephone access to physicians, who can offer medical assistance at times when their primary care doctor is unavailable.

Simply falling over can have catastrophic results for many older people, and rank as the number-one cause of nursing home admissions in the country. In response, the company has also introduced a program designed to bring peace of mind to families who are unable to look a er older relatives all around the clock. Always Safe begins with a home safety inspection and continues with a fall monitoring and detection system featuring Lifeline with AutoAlert, which immediately connects the senior with an always-open response center.

‘Aging in place’ is also a philosophy shared by the mobility industry, which is primed to grow as this demographic shi continues throughout the U.S. “People live longer if they stay in their home longer, and that’s what our company is all about,” says Mark Holat, accessibility sales manager at Bruno Independent Living Aids. One of the country’s oldest existing manufacturers of stairli s, chair li s and vertical platform li s, Bruno prides itself on its top-quality and innovative products, plus a high-level dealer network sca ered across the country.

can evaluate the exact needs of every person and match the right product to them, and then be on hand for any maintenance later on,” says Holat. This recognition of the customer as an individual continues into the company’s designs, such as its Valet rotating automotive seats, which are programmable to meet every person’s unique requirements.

Another company to promote senior independence is Canadabased Safety Bath, which is tackling the problem of bathtub accidents—one of the most common causes of household injuries among the elderly. It has grown from humble beginnings, when founder Ladimer Kowalchuk sawed a refrigerator in half to help bathe his aging father, and remains a leader in the sector. With an emphasis on safety and affordability, every tub is water-tested and manufactured or assembled in the company’s Alberta facility.

“We are the inventor of the walk-in tub and still have the largest selection of accessible bathing in the industry,” says Alan Klain, sales manager and co-owner responsible for dealer development. “We offer everything from a door-insert kit, where a hole is cut in the side of an existing tub, to models with showers built in. It’s one thing to have a soothing bath, but another to come out warm and clean.”

Taken all together, these services and products offer independence and freedom to seniors unlike anything that has gone before—making this a golden time for the golden generation.

Expedited Passport Control and Customs Clearance in the U.S.—Global Entry™ CBP offers the Global Entry™ program in order to expedite the processing of pre-approved, low-risk international travelers entering the U.S. Upon returning from travel abroad, Global Entry™–enrolled travelers may bypass the regular passport control line and proceed to the Global Entry™ kiosk. Global Entry™ program participants scan their machine-readable passport, U.S. permanent resident card or U.S. visa on the kiosk, place their fingertips on the scanner for fingerprint verification and make a customs declaration. The kiosk will issue the traveler a transaction receipt and direct the traveler to baggage claim and exit. Kiosks are located at major U.S. airports, as well as at several CBP Pre-Clearance locations.

The following travelers are eligible for enrollment in Global Entry™: • Citizens and residents of the U.S. • Citizens of Mexico who hold a U.S. visa • Citizens of the Netherlands who are enrolled in Privium • Citizens of South Korea who are enrolled in SES (Smart Entry Service) • Citizens of Panama who hold a U.S. visa • Members of NEXUS or SENTRI

Application for enrollment in Global Entry™ is available at the Global On-Line Enrollment System: goes-app.cbp.dhs.gov. It costs only $100, which covers enrollment for a five-year period. The government will review the applicant’s information while a background investigation is conducted. Applicants undergo an interview with CBP officers at an Enrollment Center in the U.S. before final approval is granted.

MileagePlus provides a payment code to eligible Global Services, Premier 1K and Premier Platinum members, to be used as a form of payment for new Global Entry applications. Eligible members may request the payment code on united.com prior to beginning the Global Entry application process. To verify your eligibility and request your payment code, please visit united.com/web/en-US/apps/mileage plus/globalentry/default.aspx or united.com/premier.

Global Entry members who are U.S. citizens or Canadian citizens who are members of NEXUS are also eligible to participate in the TSA Pre program. TSA Pre allows select passengers traveling within the U.S. to qualify for expedited screening through TSA checkpoints at several airports. For detailed information, go to the CBP site, globalentry.gov.

If the boarding pass contains the TSA Pre logo (which will be located on the boarding pass near the customer’s name), the passenger can go to TSA Pre lanes. It’s important to note that while the TSA Pre logo will appear on all qualifying boarding passes, not all airports currently offer a TSA Pre lane.

767-300ER 7-300ER UPDATE

United it d h has recently tl completed l a significant upgrade to its two-class 767-300ER fleet. With this $160 million flyerfriendly investment, the aircraft now feature 180-degree lie-flat seats in United BusinessFirst, personal on-demand entertainment in both cabins and newly refreshed lavatories and larger overhead bins throughout the aircraft.

As part of United’s Eco-Skies program, these 14 aircraft have also been outfitted with environmentally friendly winglets, reducing fuel burn by more than 5 percent and

saving more than 300,000 gallons of fuel per aircraft per year.

United has 21 additional three-class configured 767-300ER aircraft that it plans to retire in the next few years and replace with new highly efficient 787 Dreamliners. The replacement 787s will consume up to 20 percent less fuel per seat than the three-class 767-300ERs. Our 767-300ERs typically fly long-haul trans-Atlantic and South America routes. We look forward to welcoming you aboard one soon.

INFORMATION MAKING YOUR CONNECTING FLIGHT Whether your next flight is on United or one of its Star Alliance partners around the world, you can use the terminal diagrams on pages 126–128 to plan your connection. In addition to gate locations, these maps show ticket counters and interterminal transportation.

Safety & Travel Assistance SAFETY INFORMATION NEED TO KNOW Customer safety is our primary concern. Our flight attendants are trained thoroughly in all safety procedures. But as expert as they are, in the event of an emergency they need help from you, the customer. You should be aware of the following:

NEVER PERMITTED The Federal Aviation Administration and the Transportation Security Administration prohibit hazardous materials in either checked or carry-on baggage.

Substantial fines can be imposed for violations.

EXIT Location of the nearest emergency exit

The correct procedure for exiting the cabin in an emergency

Where your oxygen mask will appear, how to start the oxygen flow and how to use the mask

Please look carefully at the safety information card located in the seat pocket in front of you

Liquid and solid explosives

Flammable gases and compressed gas

Radioactive and magnetic materials, corrosive and oxidizing agents

Poisons

Smoking is not permitted. Federal law imposes fines of $1,000 for smoking and up to $2,200 for any attempt to disable an aircraft’s smoke detectors. We prohibit the use of electronic simulated smoking devices (cigarettes, pipes, cigars, etc.) on our flights.

It is a violation of federal regulations to drink alcoholic beverages during a flight unless they are served by our personnel.

Also, airlines are forbidden to serve alcoholic beverages to anyone who appears to be intoxicated.

Travel assistance for delayed or canceled flights At United, our priority is safety and keeping an on-time schedule. On occasion, canceling or delaying a flight is the only option to ensure we maintain the highest safety standards.

Flight interruption? We will confirm you on the next United flight with available seats. Kiosks located in the concourse will assist you with information and a boarding pass, and will also help you stand by for an earlier United flight if one is scheduled. If you want to travel standby and aren’t boarded, we will transfer your name to the next United flight to your destination until you are onboard.

What about my bag? Baggage is boarded on the next flight if space is available, which means your bags may arrive before you. If so, United will secure the bag until you claim it. See a baggage claim representative.

What if I have to stay overnight? If a flight is canceled to address a mechanical issue or a similar issue within our control, we will provide

you with a hotel and meal voucher. For uncontrollable events—such as weather—we may be able to help you locate a local hotel at a discounted rate; however, United does not cover hotel or meal expenses in this event.

If we cannot retrieve your checked bag, overnight kits containing toiletries are available. Please see an agent.

What if the reason for my travel no longer exists? If as a result of the delay or cancellation you opt not to travel, call United reservations (1-800-UNITED-1) to learn about your options.

Help us help you stay informed. Sign up for Trip Alert, our messaging service that informs you if your flight is canceled or delayed, at united.com.

At home? Go to united.com for information or to check in and print your boarding pass.

Your safety and satisfaction are important to us. We appreciate your business and apologize for any inconvenience you may have experienced.

Staying Fit IN-FLIGHT FLEXIBILITY Knee Flexion: Lift knee toward chest, decreasing the amount of joint space at the back of the knee. Repeat with other leg.

Dorsiflexion: With heel on floor, point toes upward, decreasing the angle between the foot and the front of the leg. Repeat with other foot.

CUSTOMER CARE We are committed to providing quality service, and we want to hear about your travel experience with us. In addition, if you think a certain employee or an action taken on your behalf deserves special recognition, please let us know.

Please give us your comments at united.com/feedback.

Use of personal electronic devices What is the new portable electronic device policy?

Small, lightweight devices may be used on Unitedoperated and United Express flights gate-to-gate, as long as the device is secured and has been switched to airplane mode and/or had the cellular data disabled.

This policy applies to flights operating within the 50 U.S. states and all U.S. territories.

How do devices need to be secured or stowed?

Devices may be held in hand (not left unsecured around the seat) or placed in a garment pocket or in the seatback pocket, as long as the device is less than 2 pounds. Devices weighing more than 2 pounds must be stowed in approved carry-on baggage in the overhead compartment or under the seat in front of you during take-off, taxi and landing. In an emergency situation, all devices must be turned off and stowed. For international destinations, your flight attendants will advise if it’s necessary to turn off and stow your device.

Are there any exceptions to using personal devices under this new policy?

The captain may request that all devices be fully turned off in certain circumstances, such as for poor visibility landings. Please always listen to and follow crewmember instructions.

Does the new policy allow me to use a small notebook laptop?

No. The new policy does not apply to laptops or DVD players, which may only be used when announced by your flight crew.

Will I be able to use Wi-Fi below 10,000 feet?

Our aircraft equipped with satellite Wi-Fi are currently configured to allow Wi-Fi above 10,000 feet. However, we are exploring options to provide gate-to-gate Wi-Fi in the future.

When can I use in-seat power?

Use of in-seat power is prohibited during taxi, takeoff and landing.

Can I make calls or send text messages?

The use of cellular network services during the flight is not permitted by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The use of any voice application, such as a Web-based Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) service, in connection with or in-flight Wi-Fi service is not permitted.

ELECTRONIC DEVICES PERMITTED

Fouassier Peres et Fils "Benoit Fouassier" Sancerre 2012 | While Sancerre traditionally offers an herbal style of Sauvignon Blanc, this 2012 is fruitier, delicious and nearly tropical in flavor. This wine would pair well against the rich flavors of this recipe.
