The best posture correctors to help with hunching and slouching, according to experts

Dr. Kompal Parmar, a board-certified physician in Lubbock, Texas, claims that because so many of us spend so much time bent over screens, bad posture has become something of an epidemic that is leading to a number of chronic health issues.

Trump files suit against Iowa pollster Ann Selzer and Des Moines Register newspaper

Washington According to a copy of the complaint seen by NBC News, Donald Trump is suing Ann Selzer, her polling company, The Des Moines Register, and the parent company of the newspaper, Gannett, alleging consumer fraud. According to the lawsuit, which was filed Monday night in Polk County, Iowa, it aims to hold people accountable for blatantly interfering with an election that showed Kamala Harris leading by three percentage points in Iowa on November 2.

Girl accused in Wisconsin school deaths joins short list of female mass shooting suspects

Even in a country that has grown numb to the horror of school massacres, Monday's shooting death of a student and a teacher at a private Christian school in Wisconsin was shocking. Surprisingly, Natalie Rupnow, the culprit who allegedly committed suicide during the outburst, was a girl and only 15 years old. The number of mass shootings committed by women is quite low. Only 4.3% of the 441 mass shootings that occurred in the US between 1966 and 2022 were committed by women, according to statistics from the think tank Rockefeller Institute of Government. There have only been four since 1982, and two of those cases included women acting in tandem with a man, according to an open-source database kept up to date by Mother Jones. Jennifer Sanmarco, a 44-year-old postal worker, killed seven peop...

Players are buying in, but the NBA Cup is still a work in progress

LAS VEGAS The Oklahoma City Thunder and Houston Rockets, two rising Western Conference rivals, got into a little altercation on the court near the end of the second NBA Cup semifinal game. Two defenses who enjoy mauling one another had been playing a hard game, and at last the rivalry between the sides erupted into some light shoving, jawing, and posturing. Following the game, Thunder forward Jalen Williams stated, "[The NBA Cup] does have a certain energy to it that makes it very competitive." The money is most likely the reason. However, it has a highly competitive element. Everyone wants free money, of course. NBA executives were likely pleased to see the animosity between the teams and Williams' remarks, even though the league would never fully acknowledge that it was okay for playe...
