Sometimes, we need a little help and get back to a state of mindfulness when it comes to taking care of our physical and mental health. Wellness vacations are on the rise.
What: Sweat it out surrounded by the red rocks of Arizona’s desert. P. E. Club owner Nedra Lopez leads a mixture of high and low intensity workouts in the mornings and evenings. During breaks, guests will have plenty of time to explore the desert. After your last workout class, you can hit the town for dinner and drinks.
What: What better excuses to relax yourself in Hawaii than a retreat led by Barry’s Bootcamp star Rebecca Kennedy? During your week-long journey to Oahu, you’ll surf, climb waterfalls, and hike the Stairway to Heaven trail. In between all those workouts, Kennedy creates a special stretch and recovery class so you won’t skip a beat next day.
What: The Amanbagh hotel offers 4—21 day programs focusing on immersion courses that focus on relieving stress from people’s body. Activities include hikes overlooking beautiful gorges, yoga and meditation sessions, and meals made with organic, locally harvested produce.
What: After landing in Reykjavik, runners can work towards their best time in the annual marathon, half marathon, or 10K. After a race, you’ll relax your muscles in the geothermal Blue Lagoon spa and hit the ground running again with guided runs through Thorsmark National Park. Do we even have to mention Saltarello’s crazy glacier views?

Frane Selak, a music teacher in Croatia, was born in 1929. He is probably the unluckiest and luckiest man in the world, whose story is so incredible that it will leave you speechless.
The first time he was on the verge of death was on a cold January day in 1962, when he was traveling by train to Dubrovnik. The train suddenly derailed in a frozen river, killing 17 passengers. He managed to escape with only a broken arm, a few scratches, and bruises. A year later, he was flying from Zagreb to Rijeka, when suddenly a door came off and the teacher flew out of the plane. We don’t usually hear much about survivors when it comes to plane crashes, as evidenced by the 19 people who lost their lives in the crash. With one exception — Frane Selak, who was lucky enough to land on a haystack and woke up a few days later in hospital with minor injuries.
The series of unfortunate events did not stop here. Or are they fortunate? In 1966, Frane Selak was traveling in a bus that crashed and fell into a river. There were four casualties, but Selak cheated death again. In 1970, Selak was driving when suddenly his car caught fire. He was lucky to get out of the car just before it exploded. Three years later, another of Selak’ scars caught fire. He lived moments of horror, caught fire, and lost almost all his hair, but again he survived without major injuries.
In 1995 he was in Zagreb and one day he was hit by a bus, but miraculously survived and was left with only a few injuries. The following year, Frane Selak drove into a parapet to avoid a truck coming from the opposite direction. He was thrown out of the car and left hanging from a tree, only to see his car explode 100 meters below.
To make the picture complete and the character’s luck unquestionable, in 2003, Selak won 1 million dollars in the Croatian lottery. In 2010, the 81-year-old retiree decided that “money can’t buy happiness”, and decided to live a modest life with his fifth wife.
Frane Selak is now world-famous for escaping death.

Terracotta Warriors exhibition opens in Spain
The Archaeological Museum of Alicante opened on Tuesday
The exhibition
The exhibition is divided into three galleries

The exhibition is part of a series of activities intended
At the opening ceremony on Tuesday, Carlos Mazon, president of Alicante provincial council, called the exhibition “a
Once upon a time, we were all question-asking experts. We started asking our parents numerous questions as kids. By preschool, our inquiries even reached the depths of science, philosophy, and the social order. Where does the sun go at night? Why doesn’t that man have a home like we do? Why do rocks sink but ice floats?
Why does the child’s urge to ask questions grow inactive in so many adults? An important factor is how the social environments surrounding us change as we age. Schools transform from a place for asking questions to one funded by our ability to answer them.
When it comes to how we phrase questions, we are advised to open with less sensitive questions, favor follow-up questions, and keep questions open-ended. We can also practice asking questions of and for ourselves by keeping a running list of questions in a journal.
In the world that does not look much as it did years ago, we must ask questions.
| A．Then, at some point, our inquiring desires disappear. |
| B．It is a high-payoff behavior especially in times of change. |
| C．The questions we ask depend on our attitudes as well as the situations. |
| D．But as we grow up, asking questions fills us with worry and self-doubt. |
| E．As such, one way to renew our inquiring spirit is to change the atmosphere. |
| F．We learn to sell ourselves on the job market by what we know, not what we don’t. |
| G．It not only removes the publicity from question asking, but offers us a place to experiment. |
