After a six-year absence, Nike will soon begin selling products directly on Amazon, having previously stopped in 2019 to go it alone. At the same time, the company is reportedly set to increase prices across most of its sneakers and other clothes in the wake of recent US tariffs. Nike stopped selling through Amazon after just two years on the platform, blaming the decision to end sales on Amazon’s inability to crack down on counterfeiters and unlicensed sellers.

No one likes the feeling of insect repellent. I have vivid memories of being sprayed down with the stuff as a kid before venturing into the woods in northern Minnesota on family vacations and feeling like chemical warfare was being waged on all of my senses. I was willing to endure it because being covered in mosquito bites is even worse. Wearing repellent can save your life, protecting you against West Nile virus and Lyme disease, just to name a few of the pathogens mosquitos and ticks can pass

In 79 CE, Mount Vesuvius erupted with tremendous force, burying the nearby Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum—and possibly around 16,000 people—under ash and pumice. Almost 2000 years later, archaeological investigations continue to reveal the victims’ final moments, immortalized in the solidified volcanic debris. Recent excavations at the house of Elle and Frisso—a Pompeii home named after a mythological fresco in one of its rooms—have unearthed the building’s main interior spaces. Archae

Recteq makes pellet grills, but those can’t do it all when it comes to backyard cooking.
