During an Aug. 2020 interview with political pundit Frank Luntz, King was asked if there was any question he regretted asking throughout his career. “That’s easy,” he replied, calling to mind an occasion quickly. “I had just started doing interviews—you know, I was a kid,” explained King. “I had the priest on from the local seminary, and I asked him, is he married and how many children does he have?...

“Bringing your own dining utensils may help prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus and other germs,” says Jenna Liphart Rhoads, PhD, a nurse and medical education advisor for Nurse Together. Of course, this advice may seem confusing, as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) previously reported that contracting the coronavirus from surfaces was less likely than airborne transmission from close contact. But while this remains true, utensils make the virus easier to spread from surface contact because they are touched and then directly placed in your mouth....

The event marked the first time William and Harry had been seen together since Prince Philip’s funeral in April. In the months since, the brothers’ relationship has gone from bad to worse with the Duke of Sussex continuing his war of words with the Palace. The latest chapter involved a very public disagreement over whether or not Harry and Duchess Meghan told Queen Elizabeth that they were using her private childhood nickname for the first name of their newborn daughter, Lilibet Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, before the official birth announcement....

In a new Nov. 24 interview with local Washington, D.C. affiliate FOX 5, Fauci touched upon his stance when asked about how he would advise the incoming presidential administration on a national COVID strategy. “I’m not so sure there will be a national mandate, but surely a strong encouragement to utilize masks,” he explained. “If President-Elect [Joe] Biden decides to make a national mandate, I would encourage people to abide by that mandate....

“We drank the night away,” Hathaway said on The Ellen Degeneres Show in 2019, talking about the festive evening she and husband Adam Schulman spent on the East African island Mauritius with her Serenity co-star Matthew McConaughey and his wife Camila Alves. The next day, “I was just kinda stumbling… with one eye open,” she remembered. And in the June 2019 issue of Tatler magazine, she recalled an epic hangover that “lasted for five days” after “a day drinking session with friends that went into an evening birthday party with one of my drinking buddies....

At the time, she didn’t reveal why she’d given up alcohol, and many people wondered what was behind the peppy talk show host’s decision.

Read on to find out why Ripa put down her wine glass for good—and the one thing that surprised her about sober living....

Trebek announced in March of 2019 that he had been diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, and millions of people reacted as if the news were about a close friend or family member. The public outpouring of support found the good-natured game show host overwhelmed with gratitude. “People all over America and abroad have decided they want to let me know now, while I’m alive, about the impact that I’ve been having on their existence,” Trebek told ABC’s Good Morning America in December....

Their ability to organize information, pay close attention to little clues and tells, and compartmentalize information makes a duel-reality a possibility,” says Lauren DeGolia, an astrologer at Fresh Starts Registry. These earth signs are introverts at heart and therefore keep to themselves a lot....

In a July 11 Twitter thread, Ashish Jha, MD, director of the Harvard Global Health Institute, explained his own color-coded system for determining the risk levels of every state based on new cases, hospitalizations, and deaths. He identified four states that are in the “yellow” category, but that are inching closer to “orange.” These states should “ratchet back activity,” he cautioned, and “all of them should try to suppress virus—they still can....

For appliances, you’d be better off shopping in a place that specializes in them rather than this jack-of-all-trades retailer. “Walmart doesn’t have a large selection of large appliances, and even if they did, you’d be more likely to find a better price at stores like Best Buy, Home Depot, or Lowe’s,” says Julie Ramhold with DealNews. “Not only do those stores regularly offer up to 35 percent off a variety of large appliances—they tend to also have decent delivery services, so you don’t have to haul that new fridge home by yourself....

Read the original article on Best Life. There’s a major misunderstanding when it comes to the Lost finale, which revealed that the characters were in purgatory during the show’s final season—but not throughout the entire series. Nevertheless, enough people were sure the twist was that the characters had been dead all along, and that confusion caused serious outrage. And for more contentious series, these are The Most Hated Popular TV Shows....

“EPA is committed to identifying new tools and providing accurate and up-to-date information to help the American public protect themselves and their families from the novel coronavirus,” EPA administrator Andrew Wheeler said in a public statement. “EPA’s review of products tested against this virus marks an important milestone in President Trump’s all of government approach to fighting the spread of COVID-19.” The EPA initially released List N in early March, which has now grown into a compilation of more than 420 disinfectants that meet the agency’s criteria for use against SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes COVID-19....

On Aug. 17, CNN reported that coronavirus positivity rates are on the rise in the U.S., despite fewer tests being conducted overall. That’s concerning, because an increase in a state’s positive test rate is a major warning sign that a COVID surge is coming, according to Anthony Fauci, MD, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID). “Prior to the surging, you could detect an early increase in the percent positive for any given state,” he said in an Aug....

To be clear, astrology is not a science, and if you don’t believe in this sort of thing, we understand. But here’s how they arrived at this ranking. In the 2021 study, Insurify collected data from over 1.6 million drivers who were applying for car insurance. Applications showed drivers’ history, vehicle type, location, and some personal information, in order to provide real-time insurance quotes. The company then analyzed drivers’ behaviors across four key points: speeding tickets, accidents, DUIs, and suspended licenses, all of which were recorded within the last seven years....

The 24-year-old actor is best known for playing Arya Stark on Game of Thrones for all eight seasons.

Widely acknowledged to be one of the most beautiful and historic cities in the U....

The average person takes between 17,280 and 23,040 breaths per day. However, it’s the quality of these breaths that matter, especially when in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic. According to The Washington Post, nasal breathing is better than mouth breathing because it releases nitric oxide, which increases the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in your blood and releases more oxygen to your tissues and cells. Mouth breathing, meanwhile, does not release nitric oxide, and therefore leads to feelings of fatigue and anxiety....
