ON THE VERGENOEGD LÖW WINE Estate, just outside Cape Town in South Africa, the daily commute of the workforce is slightly different than in New York or London. Here, the workers quack all along the way. And, you might have guessed, they are ducks. Ten-plus sub-species of Indian Runner Ducks, to be precise. (And, incidentally, it is only the females that quack.)

The Senate passes a $2 trillion economic relief package to respond to the coronavirus pandemic. It now heads to the House, which hopes to approve it by Friday. The legislation, approved as waves of layoffs hit workers and hospitals look for resources, may not be the last action Congress takes to help a reeling economy and health-care system.

| Greek civilization dates back to ancient times, but the country of Greece has existed less than two centuries. It won its liberty from the Ottoman Empire in a 12-year war that lifted a nearly 400-year occupation. Greeks celebrate their Independence Day on March 25 in remembrance of an 1821 event that is traditionally believed to have set off the revolution. The story goes that on this date, a bishop named Georgios Yermanos raised the revolutionary flag at a gathering of 5,000 at the Ayian Lavra monastery near Kalavryta. Yermanos blessed the crowd and proclaimed they would conquer or die. However, historians dispute aspects of this event, including whether it happened at all. Clashes did begin in March of 1821, as Greek militias in four towns wrested their own patch of sovereignty from the Sultan. Atrocities ensued on both sides, with towns besieged, island populations slaughtered, scattered or enslaved, and fire ships ravaging vessels full of sailors. In 1827, when the Turks had retaken Athens and the Greek cause appeared lost, a surge in military help from Russian, British and French powers turned the tide. Greece was the first nation to carve itself out of the Ottoman Empire – but not the last. – Joy Yokoyama |

A new report, from researchers at McMaster University and Ryerson University, has surveyed over 200 participants from a prematurely cancelled basic income experiment that took place in Southern Ontario between 2017 and 2019. The report suggests participants saw improvements in mental health, housing stability and social relationships, along with less frequent visits to hospitals and doctors that lowered the impact on general health services.

Caroline Gleich moved to Salt Lake City from her native Minnesota when she was 15 and has been skiing Utah’s Wasatch Range ever since. She began making a name for herself as a professional skier when she was just 18, and in 2017, she became the first woman to climb and ski all 90 lines in Andrew McLean’s iconic 1998 guidebook The Chuting Gallery. Last year she climbed Mount Everest in an effort to promote gender equality in sports. Now 34, Gleich uses her influence as an athlete to promote issues like climate change, cyberharassment, and clean air quality. We asked her to share her favorite places to ski in her home state.
