If you are looking for something to do in Charleston that you are unlikely to have done before, explore this quiet path developed in 1930 by The Garden Club of Charleston. Start by exploring gardens, architecture, and cemeteries at the St.

John’s Lutheran Church and the Unitarian Church. Walk from the back right corner of the Unitarian garden and across King Street to the Charleston Library Society.

After exploring their grounds, take the path to the right of the building through the Governor Aiken gates to The Gibbes Museum of Art. A side trip to the ornate fountains at the adjacent American Garden is highly encouraged.

Belgium is known mainly for its waffles, fries and praline chocolate. While it is hard to pinpoint an exact origin for the first two, one can in fact still buy the original pralines at the shop where they were first sold in 1912.

The Neuhaus chocolate shop started its life in 1857 when Jean Neuhaus moved from Switzerland to Brussels. He initially stared an apothecary where he was selling medicine wrapped in chocolate to make it more palatable to take.

While this was a lucrative business, he soon found that people were keen on eating his chocolate shells even without the medicine, and thus under the guidance of his son they also started selling chocolates and licorice for general consumption. When Jean's son Frédéric took over the shop it completely slipped selling medicine and focussed on sweets, slowly innovating the products.

Naya Connect , by Dutch startup Naya, is a modular input system targeted at creatives. The idea is to provide CAD jockeys, video editors, sound producers etc.

with an easy way to configure the inputs they need for their preferred workflow. The heart of the system is the 75%-size keyboard, which features mechanical keys.

Users can opt to add a 24-key Multipad, which can be mapped to keyboard shortcuts or macros. There's also an additional 6-key strip, if 24 shortcuts were not enough (or too much).

A Chinese robotics company called Yarbo makes something like a Roomba for outdoor work. Their name is a portmanteau for "yard robot," and their Yarbo Core, a tracked robot, accepts different seasonal attachments: An aerator, a mower, a leafblower and a snowblower.

Given recent weather, it's the snowblower attachment that most caught our eye. So how well can it tackle a large, sprawling driveway?

According to this news report, surprisingly well: The homeowner in the video, by the way, is EV content creator Tom Moloughney. The tech-savvy Moloughney points out that it took him 30 hours to set the robot up to perform the task, and stresses this is not a straight-out-of-the-box solution.
