Appearances aren't always what they seem. We're a species very much concerned about our outer physical appearance, doing all sorts of things to make ourselves more attractive. Having that pearly white, perfect smile explains the 39.09 million Americans who were using tooth whiteners in 2017. Another part of physical appearance on many minds is hair. One report suggests that 68% of women are unhappy with their hair. Similarly, with men, hair loss is something they generally don't want to experience. Still, it happens, so there are certain strategies men use to conceal their rapidly balding heads. One Colombian man sought to conceal a little more than baldness recently. Landing in Spain from Bogota, Colombia, authorities spotted the man with a very unusual looking toupee. With the FAA...

Contrary to what you might think, the workplace can be rather dangerous for many of us. You don't have to be employed in a hazardous field to get hurt on the job, of course. And if you do slip and fall at work, you could be among the 5% of people who fracture a bone as a result. But these kinds of accidents aren't the only ways we can experience negative physical effects as a result of our employment. In fact, your job could be the very thing that's infringing on your self-esteem and your long-term health. According to recent data, roughly 50% of Americans say they're unsuccessful at losing weight because they lack self-discipline. But as one study revealed, failing to reach our weight loss goals may not be entirely because we're not dedicated enough. In some cases, it could be because ...

Since most households in the U.S. have at least one pet, a significant number of Americans are familiar with the joys of being a cat parent. But, of course, it's not all sunshine and rainbows -- especially when it comes time to take your furry friend to the vet. It's estimated 80% of dogs and 70% cats show signs of dental disease by age three, leading to abscesses, loose teeth, and chronic pain. Not only do many felines have strong feelings about being locked in a carrier, but they also tend to hide their pain or discomfort, which makes it hard for owners to know whether there's reason for concern. But now, you might need only take a look in your kitty's litter box to assess whether it's time for a trip to the vet. Despite the fact that dumpsters are typically serviced at 60% or below f...

In today's digital world, we're constantly trying to make data more convenient to access. Edge computing and mobile data centers, for instance, allow for expanded location options and make it possible for companies to move these resources virtually anywhere in the world. Coupled with liquid immersion cooling -- which can also improve data center design, location, and rack density -- these improvements make it possible for users to obtain data at lightning-fast speeds. Unfortunately, that may also mean that this data is more vulnerable than ever. Whether mobile data centers are utilized or not, security breaches are becoming more common all the time. We're all too willing to connect to a public WiFi connection, enter our passwords and credit card information, and send emails containing s...

People may take medication for a variety of reasons -- from surgery recovery to a life-long illness to chronic sleep issues, which affect up to 18% of U.S. adults, medication can be beneficial for certain situations. But in recent years, the U.S. has seen an increase in opioid prescriptions, which has turned into a nationwide crisis. And a new study shows that opioid prescriptions for adolescents and young adults still remain high. In this study, researchers looked at data from two surveys that were conducted by the National Center for Health. The data was from 2005 to 2015 and looked at patients between the ages of 13 and 22 who had visits to emergency rooms and outpatient clinics during that time period. During this time period there were over 78,000 patients in that age group who took...

As people age, their reactions slow, they may experience more fatigue, and they can have difficulty completing everyday tasks. This is why about 52% of people who turn 65 will need some level of long-term care services. And a new AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety study has found that some of these factors, including increased fatigue and poor physical functioning, are factors leading older adults to limit their driving. Researchers at Columbia University were commissioned by the AAA Foundation to look into eight different factors that could help determine how changes in health could impact driving mobility in seniors. The factors included sleep disturbance, pain interference, depression, fatigue, anxiety, physical functioning, participation in social activities, and pain intensity. Among...

Few people rarely choose to deal with the legal system, and on most occasions, people look to avoid interacting with the law however they can. Unfortunately, sometimes things don't go according to plan, and you'll need to contact a legal professional. Not every situation will require a legal team to handle, however, so use this list as a starting point for when you should seek out a lawyer. DUIs And Arrests One of the most widely recognized times when you might need a lawyer is when you're arrested. However, not all crimes lead to an arrest, but you'll still want a strong legal team on your side. For one example, look at DUIs, sometimes called DWIs (driving while intoxicated) or OWIs (operating while intoxicated). In Michigan, a motorist less than 21 can be charged with a Zero Tolerance ...
