When the World Health Organization declared an Ebola outbreak in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) a Public Health Emergency of International Concern in May, scientists around the world mobilized to help. Among them were researchers at Dalhousie University.

This month, San Francisco welcomed what may be the most icon-filled walking and biking trail in the entire American national park system.The Golden Gate Dozen, which stretches 13 waterfront miles from Crissy Field to Fort Funston, connects some of the city’s most remarkable landscapes and vistas with stops at historical sites and money shots of the Golden Gate Bridge from every angle.A partnership between the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy, the Public Lands Program, and hiking app AllTrails helped to define the route, which is broken down into bite-sized sections between 12 major stops (hence its name, the Golden Gate Dozen). A cheerful mascot, a pink-frosted donut (it’s the Golden Gate Dozen, remember?), marks the route at a few of the stops IRL (collect all four stickers!). The doughy guide to the Golden Gate Dozen Trail(Courtesy of Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy)In general, though, there is not yet any new, official signage; the AllTrails map will keep you on track. "The Golden Gate Dozen is the kind of trail that shows why urban access to public lands matters,” says Pitt Grewe, head of social and environmental impact at AllTrails. “A route that connects San Francisco’s rich history and unique ecology to its diverse community is a powerful reminder of what we're working to protect and make accessible for everyone." Below, we’ve broken down each section of the trail. Tackle the full 13 miles in a single day, conquer it piece by piece, or pick out just the spots you most want to see.Crissy Field to Presidio Tunnel Tops: 0.5 milesFrom the East Beach Parking Lot at Crissy Field, you’ll walk west along the promenade, then cut through the East Bluff Picnic Area to the bridge over the marsh. Watch for great blue herons and belted kingfishers, then head west down Mason Street to the Presidio Tunnel Tops.Presidio Tunnel Tops to Fort Point: 1.5 milesTake in the views (and maybe brunch at Dalida in the Presidio’s adjacent Main Post; 101 Montgomery Street, Suite 100), then cross back over Mason Street to Crissy Field. Stop at the Warming Hut on the promenade for a Crissy Mocha and a donut sticker before continuing on to Fort Point National Historic Site. Crissy Field(Courtesy of @415urbanadventures)Fort Point to the Golden Gate Bridge: 0.7 milesCheck out the fort’s exhibits on the history of the “guardian of the Golden Gate,” then return back toward the Warming Hut, popping into the Presidio Visitor Center for another sticker along the way. Look for the sign pointing to Battery East and the Golden Gate Bridge. Head up the steps, then follow the trail to the Golden Gate Bridge Welcome Plaza.Golden Gate Bridge to Baker Beach: 1.5 to around 3 milesReturn to the Battery East Trail, take a left under the bridge, and continue up the California Coastal Trail. Snap a photo of the bridge from the overlook, then either continue on this easier, shorter trail (about 20 minutes) or the longer and more challenging Batteries to Bluffs Trail (about an hour). Take the Sand Ladder down to the beach to beachcomb the next section, or stay on the more solid Coastal Trail as it passes alongside Baker Beach.Baker Beach to the Presidio: 0.1 miles to around 0.9 milesExplore Battery Chamberlin, then continue past two parking lots and around the fence through the sand. Take the staircase at the end of Baker Beach up to the tony Sea Cliff neighborhood. If you want a little more time in the Presidio, zag over to the Lobos Creek Valley Trail before you do, taking Gibson Road toward Bowley Street and crossing over Lincoln to the trailhead at the native dunes; the trail adds a little less than a mile to your route. When you’re done, head back out to Lincoln Street and toward Sea Cliff Avenue.The Presidio to China Beach: 0.7 milesFollow Sea Cliff Avenue down to China Beach, a hidden cove where Gold Rush-era Chinese immigrants camped and fished. Return the way you came until you reach 29th Avenue and El Camino del Mar. The stairs to the Sutro Baths(Courtesy of Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy)China Beach to Lands End: 1.2 milesTake El Camino Del Mar into Lincoln Park and turn right to pick up the California Coastal Trail again. Follow the path through Lands End, the same route down which a train once carried San Franciscans to the Sutro Baths, and don’t miss the views at Eagle’s Point and the Lands End Lookout, where sticker number three awaits.Lands End to Sutro Baths: 0.6 milesNerd out on the history of the Sutro Baths at the Lookout before crossing busy Point Lobos Avenue to the Sutro Heights parking lot.Sutro Baths to Sutro Heights: 0.3 milesCheck out the remains of Adolph Sutro’s legacy, including what was once the world’s largest indoor swimming pool, then follow the main trail to the southern end of Sutro Heights Park. Continue downhill to Balboa Street.Sutro Heights to Ocean Beach: 3 milesCarefully cross the Great Highway to Ocean Beach. Walk along the beach, take the Esplanade Trail, or pass through Sunset Dunes. If this is your ending point, consider bringing a picnic or lighting a bonfire on the beach. Otherwise, continue all the way to the end of the Great Highway and take a left on Sloat Boulevard. Fort Funston(Courtesy of Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy)Ocean Beach to Fort Funston: 5.7 milesThis last section is the longest by far, but since it’s mostly on pavement, at least it’s easy going. Follow Sloat past the SF Zoo and take a right on Skyline Boulevard. Cross Skyline, then continue south along the road to John Muir Drive and Fort Funston, where there is another battery to explore (Battery Davis), hang gliders to see, and dogs to watch running through the surf.// Learn more at parksconservancy.org and find the route at AllTrails

Harry Potter fans have succeeded in moving a construction project that would have originally gone through the “grave” of the character Dobby. The 125-mile Greenlink power connector, which costs £430million, is intended to link power between the UK’s National Grid and Ireland, running between County Wexford and Freshwater West in Pembrokeshire. However, the latter site is known to Potter fans as the site of house elf Dobby’s grave in the film Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows, and contains a pile of stones with the words “here lies Dobby” that many flock to; fans have been asked not to lay stones by the National Trust, who own the site, due to the beach being an ecologically sensitive site. It has now been revealed that the cable has now been rerouted after a BBC interview alerted fans, according to project manager Simon Ludlam. “We did the shot, we finished I went back to London, and they then aired it a couple of weeks later,” he told the Energy Revolution podcast. “And we got hundreds of calls, I mean hundreds of calls.” He further recalled: “I said, ‘Dobby, who’s Dobby? I don’t know Dobby?’ I said: ‘He’s a fictitious character in a fictitious book, the whole thing is fictitious, what are you talking about?’ [The colleague] said: ‘No it’s very, very serious’.” They then discussed “exactly how to reroute the cable so we wouldn’t go anywhere close to Dobby’s grave” and that now, “a lot of people were very happy about that, and the project is now going [ahead] and Dobby’s happy”. However, they ended up going “quite close” to real Bronze Age remains, though and “avoided Dobby’s grave”. Harry Potter is due to return to the screen in a new HBO series, which will feature newcomers Dominic McLaughlin, Alastair Stout and Arabella Stanton as Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Also on board are John Lithgow as Albus Dumbledore, Nick Frost as Rubeus Hagrid, Paapa Essiedu as Severus Snape, and Janet McTeer as Minerva McGonagall. However, the cinematographer on the HBO series recently described filming conditions as “brutal” with young actors having strict working schedules. “You have to shoot really fast, and the faster you go, the more you compromise quality,” Adriano Goldman told André Pilli on YouTube. “There’s no way around it, right? Obviously, we have a lot of resources, but it’s brutal.” “The kids’ screen time is really brutal,” he added. “So the methodology is very specific. You practically have to pre-shoot all the scenes while they’re in class.” Ahead of its premiere on Christmas Day this year, a trailer for the series was recently released, which proved divisive among fans. The series has further attracted backlash due to author J.K. Rowling’s anti-trans views and hostility towards the trans community. Star Lithgow has admitted he considered quitting the series due to backlash over his involvement amid Rowling’s views, while Frost has criticised Rowling’s views. Elsewhere, the first film in the original series, Harry Potter And The Philosopher’s Stone, is set to return to cinemas for one week later this month to celebrate its 25th anniversary. The post ‘Harry Potter’ fans succeed in moving construction project to avoid Dobby’s grave appeared first on NME.

Microsoft Executive Says Windows 11 Isn’t Taking Liquid Glass’ Transparency Slider Route; Doesn’t Deny A Future Release Either, But Under Certain Conditions Wccftech

Glen Ellen is a largely undiscovered gem for many who visit Sonoma County. Located about ten miles north of Sonoma proper, the small town is just over two square miles, anchored by Jack London State Historic Park and the Sonoma Botanical Garden. But what Glen Ellen lacks in size it makes up for with plenty to do in close proximity. Our modern guide breaks down the hamlet’s best wineries, restaurants, and stays for a weekend that’s just slightly off the beaten path.What to Do in Glen EllenJack London State Historic ParkFamous author Jack London—who wrote books such as The Call of the Wild and White Fang—was born on Jan. 12th, 1876, and Jack London State Historic Park, the site of his former personal residence, is the host of several celebrations throughout 2026 marking the 150th anniversary of his birth. Still to come is a fundraising gala on September 19th, and a quarterly speaker series will explore the late author’s legacy through November. Of course, you can also visit the state park and explore its terrain. The property is filled with winding trails—including a section of the Bay Area Ridge Trail—across pristine hillsides bursting with redwoods, madrones, Douglas firs, and black oaks. There are many historic stop-offs including the ruins of his former residence, his gravesite, and the House of Happy Walls Museum. // 2400 London Ranch Rd., parks.ca.gov Sonoma Botanical GardenThe Sonoma Botanical Garden is the other main attraction within Glen Ellen town limits. Sprawling over 67 acres, the garden features one of the largest collections of scientifically documented, wild-sourced Asian plants in North America and Europe. The wonderland of fresh florals and woodland favorites also boasts California native species. Stop by through September 16th to enjoy Acoustic Sunsets, featuring live music in the gardens until 8pm on Wednesdays. // 12841 Sonoma Hwy., sonomabg.org​Wine Tasting in Glen EllenGlen Ellen is, at its core, a part of Wine Country, and the local bounty doesn’t pale in comparison to its more famous neighbors. The region turns out cool-weather varietals like pinot noir and chardonnay, as well as hot-climate giants like cabernet sauvignon and zinfandel. The small hamlet is home to more than a dozen wineries, many of which are located along Arnold Drive near Jack London State Park—making it easy to go from one to the next. Benziger Family WineryBenziger Family Winery is a storied estate rooted in biodynamic farming techniques. Not only do they turn out a library of impressive and sippable vinos, but the property offers educational tours about their sustainable and organic farming practices. Roll through the hilly expanse on a tractor tram, learning all about the property’s practices before returning to the tasting room for a lineup of four wines. // 1883 London Ranch Rd., benziger.com Laurel Glen VineyardLaurel Glen Vineyard is a quaint tasting room with an impressive collection of wines dating back more than ten years. The ability to taste not just new vintages but to compare, side-by-side, notable wines that have been aging in the bottle longer than some of us have been legally able to drink is a special experience. The tasting room feels like a home, with multiple seating options to help you get comfortable, and it's ideally located in a small suite surrounded by some of Glen Ellen’s other best gems. // 13750 Arnold Dr., laurelglen.com Dane CellarsHave you ever had a tasting inside a wine tank before? Dane Cellars’ tasting room is built into one: an intimate setting with room for up to six. Reserve a spot there or on the patio or in the winemaker’s office. Its location is special enough, but private tastings with winemaker Bart Hansen—who also owns the winery and has a long history with vintners like Kenwood Vineyards—take it over the top. You’ll enjoy sipping through his portfolio of reds, whites, and rosés while being regaled with tales of how they came to be. // The Tank, 14300 Arnold Dr., danecellars.com Additional Winery PicksOther options include stop-offs at Mayo Family Winery (1301 Arnold Dr., #9446), which serves notable sparkling wines and offers food pairings; the rustic, barn-style tasting room at Eric Ross Winery (14300 Arnold Dr.); and Schermeister Winery (14301 Arnold Dr., Studio 28), which focuses on native fermentation. Talisman Wine’s (13652 Arnold Dr.) inviting tasting room is dedicated to single-vineyard pinot noirs sustainably made and organically farmed from properties across Sonoma, Napa, and Mendocino. Where to Eat in Glen EllenGlen Ellen’s location in the rolling Sonoma hills feels like you’re outside the hustle and bustle of Wine Country without losing the amenities that make these places special. The agricultural haven propels the farm-to-fork movement with standout, one-off restaurants.PoppyGirl and The Fig, which once occupied Glen Ellen, has moved to Sonoma. But the masterminds behind the French eatery put Poppy in its place. Opened in late 2025, the menu is another French masterpiece offering a full menu of favorites as well as weeknight family meals with entrees such as rack of lamb, steak frites, and cassoulet. On any given day, you can dive into French-style gnocchi, steak au poivre with wagyu beef, and escargot. One of the authentic experiences is the service de pain, which starts with a baguette with cultured butter before adding optional accoutrements like bone marrow, shaved Parisian ham, duck liver, and pâté. // 13690 Arnold Dr., poppyglenellen.comLes Pascals PatisserieLes Pascals Patisserie is another French gem in Glen Ellen. The café is just steps from the Laurel Glen tasting room and is owned by a husband-and-wife team, both named Pascal. Stop off for a coffee and pastry to start your day like the Parisians do, or dine on a croque-monsieur and quiche for lunch. There’s also an array of goodies to take home with you, but beware: items sell out so earlier visits are best. // 13758 Arnold Dr., lespascalspatisserie.comSongbird ParlourSongbird Parlour is Glen Ellen’s other newer restaurant, opened in late 2024 by Laura Kershner, who also runs the Goodness Gracious catering company. What started as an event space has since transformed into a destination fine-dining restaurant with a menu focused on seasonality, using ingredients grown just outside the restaurant’s doors in the expansive Sonoma Valley region. This dedication to farm-to-fork service means menu items may change on a whim but often include hand-rolled ricotta and lemon gnudi, pan-roasted salmon with forbidden rice, and hot honey fried chicken. The menu is eclectic and thoughtful, served for dinner from 5pm to 9pm, Wednesday through Sunday. // 14301 Arnold Dr., Ste. 3, songbirdparlour.comWhere to Stay in Glen EllenGaige HouseA stay at Gaige House is unlike any other, thanks to an interesting combination of Victorian-style architecture and Japanese ryokan elements.
