Familiarize yourself with the breaker box in your house or apartment (if you have access to it). Open the cover and look at the grid of breakers. One might now be switched to “OFF” or may display a red marker window that indicates it’s been tripped. Turn off all the lights and appliances connected to that breaker. Then, flip the tripped breaker to the “ON” position (some models will need to be switched fully off before turning them back on again)....

But long before #skinfluencers and #sponcon, there were dermatologists—you know, the medical doctors who devoted themselves to years of rigorous training and clinical practice so they could provide the absolute best dermatologic treatment.

And it makes sense, right?...

Olives are common—but commonly misunderstood. Though most often linked with a select few Mediterranean countries, olives are native to Europe, Africa, and Asia. Today, California has even become a major olive-growing region. Some three-quarters of the olives eaten in the U.S. are from the golden state. Olives are versatile. You’ve seen them on salads and pizzas, in breads and tagines, stuffed and wrapped, on boards and in drinks, cooked into mains and served plain as a starter....

Next, think about the previous year. Make note of any big life moments that might affect your taxes—like buying a house or losing your job....

Stair climbing can be done pretty much any time and anywhere, the researchers say, giving busy people one less excuse for skipping workouts altogether. Previous research has shown that longer, sustained step workouts can improve heart health, but this is the first time scientists have studied the effects of sprint intervals—shorter bursts of vigorous activity followed by short recovery periods—in the context of stair climbing. Researchers recruited 31 sedentary but otherwise healthy women for a series of experiments, and assigned them to different exercise routines involving either a stationary bike or a local stairwell....

Most cork flooring is made from the by-products of another manufacturing process: Leftover bits and pieces of cork are gathered up from the post production of bottle stoppers, ground into fine grains, pressed, and heated to create sheets of cork flooring....

History Ocean Spray says the first commercial cranberry sauce was canned in 1912 by Marcus L. Urann, a lawyer who also owned cranberry bogs. At that time, a cranberry grower in New Jersey named Elizabeth Lee was also boiling her berries to make a jelly-like sauce. Lee and Urann combined efforts to perfect the recipe, and the sauce became a holiday staple during the early 1940s. Ingredients Cranberries get their tartness from the high acid concentration....

Awaken entered the world on January 6, yet early reviewers can’t say enough good things about the power-packed formula. “No one will know that you’re burning the candle at both ends with this,” wrote one person. “Dark circles faded away.
