Retreats could be available for women going thru menopause
By Hicbd
"Their offerings vary wildly. Some retreats take a medical-wellness approach, with menopause-specialist physicians evaluating HRT (it’s not right for everyone) and non-hormonal medication for guests, conducting diagnostic testing, and providing a medical education into the changes that the retreat-goers are experiencing. Some retreats, such as those at Italian wellness resort Preidelhof, combine a medical-wellness approach with a major focus on creative (sometimes wild) emotional release therapies. Ayurvedic resorts, such as Ananda in the Himalayas, are using the ancient medicine’s focus on correcting imbalances of all kinds to tackle hormonal fluctuations. Retreats are bringing in nutritionists, psychologists and sex experts–and are using everything from breathwork and acupuncture and menopause-focused bodywork treatments–to provide some relief."

Dining / breathwork / sculpting could be in the nude
By Hicbd
"Ms. Max started experimenting with naked events in 2020. (She also hosts Füde Breath-work Experiences, breathing with naked strangers; and Füde Clay Experiences, naked sculpting.) The dinners were initially invite-only, but she opened them up to people who had heard about them through Instagram or word of mouth. Every dinner she hosted sold out, she said, and she was soon inundated with inquiries from aspiring nude diners from around the world."

Black boxes / flight recorders on planes could improve
By Hicbd
"The idea of capturing data from inside an aircraft dates back to the inception of air travel—but the developments haven’t kept pace with technology...Black boxes come equipped with automatically activated underwater locator beacons that emit a sound, once a second, that can be picked up by sonar—but only for 30 days. Then, the bigger question: In an age when your cellphone can track you anywhere in the world, why aren’t we streaming data from planes in real time?"

"Neuzeller Klosterbräueri, a brewery in Germany, has developed a powdered lager that lets you make a beer just like you would a protein shake: Just add water and stir. The result is a carbonated cold one that looks like it came from the tap."
