Preparation For decades, the golden standard for how many steps a person should walk each day has been set at 10,000—but this goal wasn’t borne out of a scientific study or consensus. Instead, Dr. Rathna Nuti, MD, a sports medicine physician at DFW Sports Medicine, notes that this number was created in 1965 by a Japanese company to market its pedometer called Manpo-kei, which translates to “10,000 steps meter.” Since then, scientists have spent ample time and resources trying to develop an answer for how many steps both women and men should get in daily....

Here, she suggested a few ideas to make this part of wedding planning a little bit easier....

Preparation When it comes to packing for a move, the kitchen is a notoriously difficult room. Not only are there fragile items to be mindful of, but unlike the guest room, most people use their kitchens daily. “The kitchen is always the last room that we pack up and the first room that we unpack,” says Janet Bernstein, owner of The Organizing Professionals, a Philadelphia-area company that offers moving services. “The kitchen will always take the longest....
Preparation Screen doors are summer’s unsung heroes: They keep bugs out, let fresh air in, and open our homes to the natural sunlight. Here are some things to consider about the screens themselves: Aluminum screening, an American favorite, offers good visibility but mars readily—it can dent or crease easily—and deteriorates in marine areas. Vinyl-coated fiberglass screening is more opaque, so it blocks more sun and glare, and it doesn’t oxidize or crease....
Preparation Want to shake a better cocktail? Stocking a stellar home bar is only half the equation. Storing spirits the right way is important to provide the best taste and experience. Most liquor has a high-enough alcohol content to be kept at room temperature, either in a cabinet or on a bar cart but as Julie Reiner, co-owner of the Clover Club and author of The Craft Cocktail Party: Delicious Drinks For Every Occasion ($15....
As we observed the damages to the Kumamoto Castle, we pray for a speedy recovery so visitors to Kumamoto can continue to enjoy this grand beauty. Kumamoto Castle was built by Kiyomasa Kato in 1601 and took 7 years to complete. The main keep was burned down in 1877 during Satsuma Rebellion (samurai vs. imperial government) and a concrete replica was constructed in 1960. In 2008, the replica of the castle palace (Honmaru Goten) was built....
