☆ Luxury chalet buyers in the Alps are now interested in a lot more than just skiing
  + stars: | 2024-12-01 | by ( Maria Noyen | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Property companies say the quality of the skiing is not the only criteria for some Alpine buyers. Instead of winter sports, wellness is taking priority for many seeking an Alpine chalet. AdvertisementYet, for some wealthy chalet buyers in upmarket towns such as Gstaad and Courchevel, it seems skiing is no longer the only draw. Pristine slopes are not the only draw for Alpine chalet buyers. Rollason added that if the uber-wealthy are buying a chalet, "then it's not just a chalet — it's an all-encompassing leisure object."

☆ Letter from Franz Kafka complaining of writer’s block up for auction
  + stars: | 2024-06-03 | by ( Amarachi Orie | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
London CNN —A letter giving a rare insight into Franz Kafka’s struggle with writer’s block is going up for auction. This means it would have been written while Kafka was undergoing treatment for tuberculosis, with which he was diagnosed three years earlier. Ehrenstein made the request after seeing a newly published work by Kafka – probably the 1919 short story collection “Ein Landarzt” (“A Country Doctor”). We can also all be thankful that Kafka would continue to pick up his pen despite his crippling writer’s block,” he added. At the time the letter was written, Kafka had also begun an intense love affair with Czech journalist and writer Milena Jesenská.

In 1916, the US began forcing Mexicans that crossed the border to bathe in a mix of kerosene and vinegar. A US immigration officer talks to Mexicans in El Paso, Texas, 1916. El Paso was considered to have the ideal dry, warm climate to combat tuberculosis, and so, multiple sanatoriums were built in the city. AdvertisementAdvertisementAs a result, Mexicans and Mexican Americans who lived along the border developed a deep fear of the baths, Levya said. In total, the government is thought to have bathed 127,123 Mexicans at the bridge between Juárez and El Paso.
