The nose-tap is well-known to Apple Watch users. For me, it occurs when I have a bag full of food in one hand and am wheeling my supermarket cart in the other. On my way home, my Apple Watch asks if I want to go for a walk outside while I have both hands occupied. My response is always yes since I'm a total stats nerd. I attempt to press the start button with my nose while lifting the arm that holds my grocery bag. Yes, it requires several attempts. It is really embarrassing, indeed. Indeed, it's more challenging than simply stopping, releasing a hand, and hitting the button as usual. This hands-full issue is resolved by the Apple Watch Series 9, which is a significant improvement over its predecessors. It is my favorite smartwatch to date because of its unique hands-free gesture and a nu...

She described the second encounter in a deposition in a related civil lawsuit and in testimony to the House Ethics Committee.

A breach among Ohio Republicans, who are split between President-elect Donald Trump and establishment-friendly Governor Mike DeWine, is being exacerbated by the Senate hunt for Vice President-elect JD Vance's successor. For the last two years of the term Vance won in 2022, DeWine, who supported a candidate backed by Trump this year in the fight for Ohio's second Senate seat, will designate a candidate to replace Vance's seat at least until a special election in 2026. He is already being heavily lobbied by competitors. DeWine spokesperson Dan Tierney told NBC News that his phone has been ringing nonstop. According to DeWine, he would rather pick a candidate who can win a GOP primary within two years. Additionally, the individual he chooses will probably have to pass a rapid litany of loyalt...

Following his loss in the 2022 election, Brazil's federal police nominated 37 individuals for prosecution, including attempted coup d'tat, including former president Jair Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro and others are charged with violently overthrowing the Democratic state of law, coup d'tat, and constituting a criminal organization, according to a statement from Brazil's federal police. Nearly two years of conjecture regarding Bolsonaro's involvement in the election-denying campaign that resulted in rioting by his supporters that swept through the city of Brasilia in January 2023, just one week after his competitor and current president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva took office, have come to a head with the release of the final police report. Many demonstrators claimed they intended to cause mayhem in ...

A 30-day restriction issued by the Federal Aviation Administration last week after gunfire struck a Spirit Airlines plane as it attempted to land in Port-au-Prince continues to affect all travel between the U.S. and Haiti, including critical assistance missions. As the chief program officer for Hope for Haiti, a nonprofit that fights poverty, Linda Thelemaque frequently visits the southern city of Les Cayes. She claimed that the Caribbean country, where gang violence already makes ground transportation between cities all but impossible, is now experiencing a logistical nightmare due to the inability to fly in supplies. According to Thelemaque, gang violence has become a major problem for us, effectively cutting off ground transportation. We are also dealing with higher expenses and delive...

The National Book Award for fiction was given to Percival Everett on Wednesday for his new book James, which is a retelling of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from the viewpoint of Huck's enslaved friend. James turns the traditional Mark Twain work on its head by delving into Jim's inner experiences of the adventures, his ideas on racism, and his actions when white people weren't there. Everett discussed the significance of books and how they can unite people in trying times in his acceptance speech on Wednesday. In reference to the outcome of the presidential election, I was feeling quite depressed two weeks ago, and to be honest, I still feel that way. I must admit that I feel a glimmer of hope when I gaze out at all the enthusiasm for literature. Everett, who has written extensivel...

According to official records of a police investigation released Wednesday night, a woman told police that Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump's choice for defense secretary, took her phone, prevented her from leaving his hotel room, and then sexually assaulted her in 2017 following a Republican women's convention in California. The lady, identified only as Jane Doe, told an emergency department nurse days after the Oct. 7, 2017, event that she didn't remember much else about and thought a substance might have been inserted into her drink, according to documents made public by the Monterey Police Department. Hegseth denied any misconduct and was not charged. The report's description of surveillance footage at the Monterey hotel, where the woman met Hegseth, and police interviews wit...
