There are numerous skin care products available to keep our faces, hands, and feet looking their best, ranging from sunscreen to lotions. However, our nails, which are made of the same protein as our epidermis, are frequently left untreated after the occasional manicure, which causes them to break and split frequently. We asked nail professionals for their advice on the best nail strengtheners for repairing damaged nails, as well as everything else you need to know to properly care for your natural nails. In actuality, brittle nails that peel or fracture are not unusual; according to Harvard Medical School, more than one in four women suffer with onychoschizia, or nail fragility. There are a number of potential causes, including dehydration, nail-biting, and even routine, everyday activiti...

Numerous well-known names can be found at the top of the college football rankings. Oregon. Ohio University. Texas. Penn State. They attract five-star recruits and are established powerhouses that regularly contend for conference and national titles. But you might give a double take at the following name on the list. Indiana. With five national titles, including three under the renowned coach Bob Knight, this team is arguably more well-known for its accomplishments on the basketball court than the football field. Indiana is in the running for the College Football Playoffs and is having its finest season ever. Perhaps the most important game in the Hoosiers' history will take place on Saturday at noon ET when they play No. 2-ranked Ohio State. You would be right if it seemed unlikely that...

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...

On Thursday, former Representative Matt Gaetz, a Republican from Florida, declared that he will not be running for president-elect Donald Trump's attorney general position. Numerous claims of sexual misconduct, including having sex with a teenager at a party in 2017, clouded Gaetz's future.The House Ethics Committee, which had been looking into Gaetz, was informed that a 17-year-old girl had two sex encounters with the then-congressman during the party, according to a source who spoke to NBC News on Thursday. 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...
