Liverpool have kicked off at 8pm on a Boxing Day twice in their history. The first time was in 2019, when Jürgen Klopp’s team demolished Leicester en route to winning the Premier League title with ease. The second time ended with another convincing defeat of the Foxes. That may not be the only repeat. Arne Slot’s soaring leaders moved seven points clear of their closest challengers for the title, with a game in hand, courtesy of a controlled comeback against Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side. Leicester took a shock early lead through Jordan Ayew and, while Liverpool never hit the heights of their 2019 performance at the King Power Stadium, goals from Cody Gakpo, Curtis Jones and Mohamed Salah’s 19th of the season ensured the outcome remained the same. Anfield was shrouded in fog for the night-time kick-off but for Liverpool there was an opportunity to put daylight between themselves and Chelsea after a perfect set of results elsewhere on Boxing Day. The league leaders’ prospects appeared healthy against a Leicester team that had been soundly beaten in their previous two fixtures and had a Premier League debutant in goal. Jakub Stolarczyk replaced Danny Ward as a result of the merciless barracking the Wales goalkeeper received from his own supporters in Leicester’s 3-0 defeat by Wolves on Sunday. “It’s not ideal,” admitted Van Nistelrooy beforehand. “But the circumstances with Wardy were intense, we all felt it, and it puts you in a position where you have to make decisions.” The Leicester manager’s decision paid early dividends as Stolarczyk and his struggling visitors tormented Liverpool until first-half stoppage time. The Polish keeper produced a fine double save to deny Mohamed Salah and Curtis Jones from Liverpool’s first meaningful attack. Trent Alexander-Arnold switched play superbly to Gakpo on the left, and his driven cross found Salah arriving unmarked at the back post. Stolarczyk denied Liverpool’s leading goalscorer from close range before flicking the ball away from Jones’ toes when the midfielder attempted to pounce on the rebound. A temporary let-off assumed more significance two minutes later when Leicester took the lead via a clinical counterattack. The impressive Bilal El Khannouss, a tireless and creative force, released Stephy Mavididi in space down the left. Mavididi’s low cross somehow found its way across the Liverpool penalty area to the feet of Jordan Ayew, who turned Andy Robertson with ease before finding the bottom corner of Alisson’s net. Ayew’s shot took a slight deflection off the heel of Virgil van Dijk en route. Leicester’s sizeable and delirious travelling contingent could not have cared less. Cue the inevitable Liverpool response, albeit one disrupted by too many errant passes, careless touches and overhit deliveries. Mavididi could have had a second assist after Victor Kristiansen intercepted a loose cross-field ball from Darwin Núñez. Patson Daka sprinted into a gaping hole in the centre of Liverpool’s defence but this time Mavididi misplaced his pass and Liverpool escaped. Robertson almost teed up Gakpo with a magnificent ball over the Leicester rearguard but the Netherlands international was flagged offside. Salah saw a shot loop off Kristiansen and just over the crossbar after a poor clearance by Stolarczyk gifted possession to Robertson. From the resulting corner, Alexander-Arnold crossed at the second attempt and the Scotland captain’s header struck a post. The ball rebounded against the Leicester keeper and rolled out. Salah, having volleyed another inviting Gakpo delivery across goal, also struck the woodwork when Harry Winks lost possession deep in the Liverpool half and the hosts countered incisively. The Egypt international cut inside on to his trusty left foot and curled a shot against the bar. Sign up to Football Daily Kick off your evenings with the Guardian's take on the world of football after newsletter promotion Frustration was mounting, not least when only two minutes were added to the end of the first half. It proved long enough. Receiving an Alexis Mac Allister pass on the corner of the penalty area, Gakpo swept across James Justin and curled an unstoppable shot inside Stolarczyk’s left post. It was the forward’s 10th goal of the season and lifted the tension, though not the fog. Liverpool were immediately in control after the restart. Núñez fired over when Ryan Gravenberch pulled the ball back from the byline. Mac Allister found himself in a similar position to his midfield partner after a flowing one-touch move involving Jones and Salah. The Argentina midfielder fired low across the six-yard box and Jones was perfectly placed to convert. A lengthy wait ensued as the video assistant referee checked for a possible offside against Salah earlier in the buildup. There was a second tedious break in play when VAR took an age to determine that Núñez was offside before Gakpo rifled home what would have been Liverpool’s third. Núñez could have made it three himself before Gakpo’s disallowed effort but Stolarczyk made a fine reaction save from the striker’s first-time shot. Daka should have at least tested Alisson when Mavididi broke and delivered another pinpoint cross from the left. The Leicester forward got in front of his marker but swiped at thin air.

Salah banished any prospect of a Leicester fightback – a slim prospect admittedly – with a brilliant trademark finish. Gakpo’s lofted pass found the striker in space on the right. Only Salah spotted the possibility of sealing victory as he advanced on Kristiansen. Having surveyed the options, he swept a superb shot between the Leicester left-back and Jannik Vestergaard into the far, bottom corner. Salah, and Liverpool, look unstoppable.2 convicted in human smuggling case after Indian family froze to death on US-Canada border

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Saturday he had an “excellent conversation” with Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago club after the president-elect’s threat to impose significant tariffs on two of America’s leading trade partners raised alarms in Ottawa and Mexico City . It was unclear, as Trudeau headed back to Canada from Florida, whether the conversation had alleviated Trump’s concerns. A person familiar with the details of the leaders’ hastily arranged meeting Friday night said it was a “positive wide-ranging dinner that lasted three hours.” The official, who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity, said topics included trade, border security, fentanyl, defense, Ukraine , NATO, China, the Mideast and pipelines, as well as the Group of 7 meeting in Canada next year. The Republican president-elect has threatened to impose tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico if the countries don’t stop what he called the flow of drugs and migrants across their borders. He said he would impose a 25% tax on all products entering the U.S. from Canada and Mexico as one of his first executive orders when he takes office in January. As he was leaving his West Palm Beach hotel, Trudeau stopped briefly to answer a reporter’s question about the dinner meeting, saying it was “an excellent conversation.” Trump’s transition team did not respond to questions about what the leaders had discussed. Trump, during his first term as president, once called Trudeau “weak” and “dishonest,” but it was the prime minister who was the first G-7 leader to visit Trump since the Nov. 5 election. “Tariffs are a crucial issue for Canada and a bold move was in order. Perhaps it was a risk, but a risk worth taking,” Daniel Béland, a political science professor at McGill University in Montreal. Among those at the dinner were Howard Lutnick, Trump’s nominee for Commerce secretary; North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, tabbed to lead the Interior Department ; and Mike Waltz, Trump’s choice to be his national security advisor. Accompanying Trudeau were Canada’s public safety minister, Dominic LeBlanc, whose responsibilities include border security, and Katie Telford, Trudeau’s chief of staff. Trudeau had said earlier Friday that he would resolve the tariffs issue by talking to Trump. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said a day earlier after speaking with Trump that she is confident a tariff war with the United States will be averted . Trudeau said Trump got elected because he promised to bring down the cost of groceries but now he’s talking about adding 25% to the cost of all kinds of products including potatoes from Prince Edward Island in Atlantic Canada. “It is important to understand that Donald Trump, when he makes statements like that, he plans on carrying them out. There’s no question about it,” Trudeau said before his leaving for Florida. “Our responsibility is to point out that he would not just be harming Canadians, who work so well with the United States, but he would actually be raising prices for Americans citizens as well and hurting American industry and business,” he added. To Nelson Wiseman, professor emeritus at the University of Toronto, Trump “doesn’t need convincing that new tariffs on Canadian products would not be in U.S. interests. He knows that, but cannot say it because it would detract from what he has said publicly. His goal is to project the image that he gets action when he talks.” Those tariffs could essentially blow up the North American trade pact that Trump’s team negotiated during his first term. Trudeau noted they were able to successfully renegotiate the deal, which he calls a “win win” for both countries. Trump made the tariff threat Monday while citing an influx of migrants entering the country illegally, even though the numbers at the Canadian border pale in comparison to those at the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump also spoke about fentanyl from Mexico and Canada, even though seizures from the Canadian border are few in comparison to the Mexican border. Canadian officials say lumping Canada in with Mexico is unfair but say they are ready to make new investments in border security. When Trump imposed higher tariffs during his first term in office, other countries responded with retaliatory tariffs of their own. Canada, for instance, announced billions of new duties in 2018 against the U.S. in a response to new taxes on Canadian steel and aluminum. Canada was examining possible retaliatory tariffs on certain items from the U.S. should Trump follow through on his threats, a senior Canadian official told the Associated Press in the days before Trudeau’s visit. The person spoke on condition of anonymity, as they were not authorized to speak publicly. Canada is the top export destination for 36 U.S. states. Nearly $2.7 billion worth of goods and services cross the border each day. About 60% of U.S. crude oil imports are from Canada, as are 85% of U.S. electricity imports. Canada is also the largest foreign supplier of steel, aluminum and uranium to the U.S. and has 34 critical minerals and metals that the Pentagon is investing in for national security. Canada is one of the most trade-dependent countries in the world, and 77% of its exports go to the U.S. Associated Press writer Gillies reported from Toronto, Hussein from West Palm Beach, Fla.OWINGS MILLS , Md. — Asked if there was any special meaning to playing on Christmas for a second straight season, Lamar Jackson paused for several seconds before answering. That said it all. “I mean, it is,” he finally replied, trying to be diplomatic. “That means we're good, but at the same time, I do want to celebrate at home sometimes with my family now. I don't want to be playing on Christmas all the time — not all the time.” That sentiment seemed common among the Baltimore Ravens players this week as they prepared for their second consecutive Christmas road game. Jackson and his teammates will face the Houston Texans on Wednesday. Earlier in the day, the Kansas City Chiefs play at Pittsburgh. Games on Christmas aren't new to the NFL. The Miami Dolphins famously beat the Chiefs in a playoff game on Dec. 25, 1971 — a double-overtime classic that still holds the record for the NFL's longest game. In 2020, New Orleans running back Alvin Kamara tied an NFL record with six touchdowns in a game when the Saints beat Minnesota on Christmas. Lately, however, the league has been much more aggressive about scheduling games on Christmas. There were three last year on a Monday, and this week there are two. The four teams in action this Wednesday all played this past Saturday, giving them a little more time to prepare. But each is still wrapping up a stretch of three games in 11 days. And for Baltimore and Kansas City — the teams spending the holiday on the road — this means a bit of a scramble to find time to celebrate with loved ones. “Santa hasn’t come yet, but as far as my family, we traded gifts (over the weekend),” Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes said. “(His wife) Brittany’s a champ because I’m not there to help build the toys my family got, and the kids have opened up every single one of them.” The Chiefs are playing on Christmas for a second year in a row, although they were at home last season. Baltimore tackle Ronnie Stanley said there is an offensive line Christmas party planned for Friday at center Tyler Linderbaum's house. Jackson’s plan is to celebrate on Thursday. “I already celebrated Christmas with my family this past week," Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton said. "It’s more about the thought of calling people Christmas morning and just going out there and being able to go out in front of my whole family and do what I love. That’s how I’ll celebrate.” The Ravens also have celebrated a bit as a group already. “We actually had a team dinner last night here, which was really neat. And our chefs were incredible (with) what they put out there, so that was fun,” coach John Harbaugh said Monday. "And we are going to have the ability for family members from the Houston area to come over for the team snack after we do a walkthrough (Tuesday) night.” Don't expect Christmas games to go away any time soon. Netflix agreed to a three-year contract in May to carry Christmas Day games. Playing on the holiday certainly gives teams a chance to be in the spotlight, although the Chiefs and Ravens already get plenty of that. The Ravens-Texans game features a halftime performance by Beyoncé. “Wasn't there a time when somebody was out peeking outside the locker room door during the Super Bowl or something like that? Was there some story on that?” Harbaugh said. “He got in trouble for it? There will be big trouble. I like Beyoncé, though. I can't say I'm a huge Beyoncé fan, but I think I like her.” (Harbaugh was referring to Bengals kicker Evan McPherson during the Super Bowl in 2022 when he watched Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar perform at halftime in Los Angeles.) Jackson, seemingly unaware of Harbaugh's attempt to lay down the law about the halftime show, arrived at the microphone immediately after the coach. “I'm going to go out there and watch,” the star quarterback said. “First time seeing Beyoncé perform, and it's at our game — that's dope. I'm going to go out and watch. Sorry Harbaugh, sorry fellas.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl

A photograph circulating online claims to show Ghanaian investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas meeting with the newly constituted “Operation Recover All Loot” (ORAL) Team, which is tasked with investigating and recovering state resources misappropriated through corruption. The image shows Anas embracing Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the chairperson of the ORAL Team. However, the claim is false. The photo, originally shared by Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa in August 2023, was taken at a social event and has been misleadingly repurposed with captions attempting to link it to the ORAL Team. The photograph was posted by Ablakwa on his official X (formerly Twitter) account on August 13, 2023, with the caption “The Anas Principle,” following a private birthday celebration for journalist Kwesi Pratt Jr. There is no connection to any anti-corruption activities in the image’s original context. Despite the resurfacing of the photo coinciding with Ablakwa’s appointment as chairperson of the ORAL Team by President-elect John Dramani Mahama, there is no evidence to suggest Anas is affiliated with the ORAL initiative. The team, formed to investigate and recover stolen public resources, includes notable figures such as former Auditor-General Daniel Domelevo, retired Commissioner of Police Nathaniel Kofi Boakye, and investigative journalist Raymond Archer. The viral photo highlights the ease with which misinformation can spread, especially as public interest in Ghana’s fight against corruption intensifies. The attempt to link Anas to the ORAL Team undermines the credibility of the actual anti-corruption efforts and spreads baseless claims.

You use more than one device, so it makes sense to use a VPN to protect privacy on all your computers, laptops, tablets, and phones. If you’re like me, that’s a lot of devices, making Surfshark and Windscribe top candidates. While the best VPNs offer solid cybersecurity with excellent speed , some limit the number of simultaneous connections. That means you might need to disconnect your phone before using the VPN on your laptop. That can be frustrating if you’ve left your phone upstairs or in another room to charge, so I compared both Surfshark and Windscribe to see which is the better solution. Specs Tiers and pricing If you want to connect to a VPN on multiple devices, your cost per device could be incredibly low. Still, it’s important to stay aware of prices since subscription fatigue is an ongoing concern . Surfshark charges $15.45 per month, which is expensive. You can save over $100 annually with a longer-term plan. It’s $48 per year or $56 for two years, plus new subscribers get four bonus months. The cost increases to $60 annually to renew either long-term subscription. To get the best deal on a VPN , you need to subscribe for a year or more, but you can try Surfshark for free with a seven-day trial, and a 30-day money-back guarantee gives you an opportunity to get a refund if it didn’t suit your needs. Windscribe’s best option for unrestricted use is the $69 annual subscription with a 30-day money-back guarantee of satisfaction. Two monthly plans are available: a full-featured VPN for $9 and a unique Build-A-Plan subscription that starts at $3 per month. The least expensive option, Windscribe’s Build-A-Plan is restricted to 30GB of data and a selection of three server locations. You can add more server locations and 10GB of data for $1 each. For $1 more, you can unlock unlimited data. Windscribe also has a free app that starts with a 2GB data cap, but can be boosted to 15GB by providing your email address and posting about the service on social media. You can access free servers in 10 countries at no cost. If you don’t want to pay for a VPN, Proton Free is one of the best solutions . It includes an uncapped VPN, secure email, encrypted cloud storage, and more. Features Surfshark is easy to use and is one of the best and fastest streaming VPNs available . I was impressed with almost instantaneous connections and high-speed downloads at locations around the world. A U.S. server reached 728Mbps while routing traffic through a secure server that encrypts data. That’s 81% of my unprotected Ethernet speed, a small loss compared to competing VPNs that cut internet speeds in half to protect my privacy. Surfshark also performed well in worldwide speed tests , exceeding 579Mbps in European countries and reaching 306Mbps when I chose an Australian server. Windscribe has a user interface that will appeal to gamers. It’s sleek and small, but functional. The app is intelligent and alerted me to a software conflict that was causing a CPU slowdown. It offers stable connections and offers hundreds of servers in 69 countries. The list isn’t as large and widespread as Surfshark’s, but I was able to connect to all my favorites. In my Windscribe review, I found that the fastest speeds were with a U.S. server that measured 451Mbps. Overseas is always slower, and Windscribe averaged 190Mbps for Europe and 136Mbps for Australia. Both VPNs support obfuscation, so either is a good choice for a VPN to use in school . Administration firewalls often block VPNs, but obfuscation disguises usage. Support Surfshark customers get 24/7 live chat support. In my testing, an AI responded first and offered helpful suggestions. When I asked for a human, I was quickly connected to a live agent to help with account issues or provide more personal assistance with technical questions. Windscribe also has an informative chatbot, but live agents weren’t available. Email support is relatively quick, but it could take up to 24 hours to get a reply. With either service, you can browse or search the support center to find your own solution. Privacy and security One of the primary jobs of a VPN is protecting your privacy. Surfshark and Windscribe take this issue seriously and only collect what’s needed to provide the service you pay for. Windscribe is an open source app so you can scan the code to check for privacy loopholes or activity logging routines. Both Surfshark and Windscribe have independent audits to verify their no-log claims are accurate and that security systems are sufficient to protect your data. Which unlimited device VPN is best? While some services restrict how many devices you can connect, the best multi-device VPNs let you protect them all. Surfshark and Windscribe are top picks that let you share your account with your family. That means you’ll get great value from either service. Windscribe has a lower monthly cost, but a more expensive $69 annual plan. The Build-A-Plan option is quite unique, but you’d probably want to pay the extra dollar to get unlimited data, raising your monthly cost to $4. By comparison, Surfshark’s annual plan starts at $48 and comes with a four-month bonus, an equivalent monthly cost of $3. You must pay in advance, but it’s worth the expense to get access to one of the best VPNs available . Our top pick for a VPN for a home with lots of devices is Surfshark. It’s faster that Windscribe, has plenty of features, costs less, and offers 24/7 support.

KyKy Tandy, FAU close out Oklahoma State in CharlestonBeauty and skincare trends may come and go, but there are a few that have proven themselves to be effective and stand the test of time. One of these trends? The use of light therapy, both in and out of doctors’ offices. Once considered a very niche skin treatment, light therapy’s popularity has grown exponentially over the last decade. As someone who loves to get skincare treatments, I have to admit that I was hesitant when LED (light emitting diode) light therapy devices became available for private home use outside that of dermatologist and aesthetician offices. Not only did I struggle to understand how a home device could be as efficacious as those used in professional office settings, but it seems counterintuitive that this kind of technology is both effective and accessible at a range of price points. But I was wrong! There are quite a few brands with either a light mask or wand in their repertoire but there’s one that caught my eye from the moment it became available. And, of course, it’s the most expensive option. I simply cannot help my taste level, it’s a blessing and a curse. After months of seeing rave reviews online, both from customers and beauty professionals alike, I made one of my very first big beauty splurges and bought the Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro light mask , which retails for a cool $455. Needless to say, I was eager to see if my purchase was made in vain — and dear readers, I am pleased to report that it was worth every hard-earned cent. As it turns out, there’s a reason the mask is used by celebrities and influencers like Salma Hayek , Charlotte McKinney , and Lucy Hale. It really, truly works — if you are willing to play the long game. So, what does this best-selling light mask actually do? It uses LED lights over your entire face to target the look of both wrinkles and breakouts. This is ideal if, like me, you are perpetually trying to deal with both. You’ve likely seen similar-looking masks and wands floating around, but Dr. Dennis Gross’ FDA-cleared technology uses a combination of 100 red lights and 62 blue lights that work together to target these common skin issues. Red light supports natural collagen production, which helps to smooth the look of fine lines and wrinkles and diminish visible discoloration, scars, and damage, while blue light targets acne-causing bacteria, helping shorten the length of breakouts, calm red skin, and prevent future breakouts. The mask has three settings: red light, blue light, and a third with purple light, a combination of the other two colors. I’ve found that aside from the price tag, something that often discourages people from making the leap is the fact that the brand recommends consistent use for up to 10 weeks to see optimal results. That said, you only need to use it for three minutes a session, so it doesn’t take up a huge chunk of time out of each individual day. But I get it. Ten weeks feels like a really long time! Let me assure you that if you’re using it primarily for acne and breakouts, you may see results almost immediately. I get awful acne along my cheeks when the seasons change. My tender skin doesn’t know how to deal with the onslaught of extreme temperature changes, summer humidity, or winter dryness. During this time, I use my light mask nearly daily, and it’s shocking how quickly my breakouts dry up, and the accompanying scars fade. During this time, I primarily use the blue light setting. During what I like to call my “acne off-season,” I use the purple light 2-3 times a week for regular upkeep. I find that it keeps my skin soft, smooth and healthy and is a lovely supplement to my skincare routine. I can definitely attest that my skin feels smoother after regular use for at least 90 days, which makes it a perfect investment if you have a big event coming up. I loaned my mask to my now-sister-in-law in the months leading up to her wedding a few years back, and she was thrilled with the results. Another thing I love about this light mask is that it truly stands the test of time. I’ve had it for at least four years, and it’s never failed me or had any maintenance issues, and that’s with very regular use. So yes, it’s quite the investment up front, but you’ll be able to reap the benefits for many years to come. I like to use it right after washing my face on bare skin. The eye holes and lack of constraining wires make it easy to go about my business during the three short minutes that it takes to do its thing. Make a snack, take a selfie, drink some wine through a straw — the world is your robo-face oyster. Once it turns off automatically, I continue with my skincare routine as normal. It truly couldn’t be easier to add this step into your regime. A purchase of the Dr. Dennis Gross DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro light mask includes a USB charging cord, a detachable and adjustable head strap, a storage bag and user manual to get you started. Even if you aren’t a beauty or skincare fanatic, you won’t regret adding this device to your rotation. The reviews truly speak for themselves. Add it to your birthday wishlist or save up and treat yourself because you absolutely deserve it. I always like to round out a pricey recommendation with more affordable ones, so I’ve included a few other popular options below in case you want to try out light mask technology before you make the big leap. Keep reading to make them yours. 1. Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare DRx SpectraLite FaceWare Pro mask Treat yourself to this game-changing skincare device. Not only is it an easy, convenient way to stay on top of your appearance, but it's also a great gift if you really want to wow a beauty lover in your life. And while it's a big financial investment up front, think of how much you'll save in professional treatments. Promising reviews: "I’ve been consistent with using this for an entire year now. I use it every night before bed. No problems with the charging or strap or anything. I’m in my mid 30’s and my skin has been pretty good to me for the past year. My rosacea has reduced, I’ve had absolutely no acne at all, my wrinkles are barely noticeable, and overall my skin just looks and feels better. I started using a pricy moisturizer too, but I’m sure it’s everything combined. Good purchase!" — Corina Grace "I was hesitant to purchase because of the price. However I am in love with this mask. I have been using it for 2 weeks now and I can already see results. Worth every penny !!!!" — k. owen "It's pricey but it works. This product is expensive but worth the investment if can afford it and will commit to consistent, daily use. I’ve been using for three weeks and can already see improvement in my nasal folds and laugh lines (around my mouth) in photos as well as in the mirror. I typically look for bargains and saw there were similar products for much cheaper, but this mask only needs 3 minutes per cycle and most of the cheaper versions require 20. I’m a career woman and new mom (at 37) and don’t have 20 extra minutes daily. The time savings made it worth it to me and I’m very happy with the purchase." — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $455 (available in two colors). 2. TheraFace PRO handheld facial massage device While only marginally less expensive than the Dr. Dennis Gross light mask, the TheraFace offers the benefits of light therapy alongside that of percussive massage therapy. It's a versatile, multi-use product that is great for someone who wants a 6-in-1 device that can target multiple skincare issues. It comes with three percussive attachments that massage tired, sore muscles and can ease the pain of TMJ. A facial cleansing brush to ensure the deepest fresh clean. A microcurrent head that works to tighten skin and more. Like the aforementioned light mask, it uses three different light modes: one to target skincare, another to prevent and heal acne and a third that is the combination of both. Promising reviews: "I have always had decent skin. I am very prone to blackheads because I have larger pores, but overall I only suffered from very mild acne. For the most part, if I’m breaking out or having trouble spots of dry skin or any hyperpigmentation, it’s because I slacked on my skincare. As far as fine lines/wrinkles I have them on my forehead (main skin concern) and around my eyes a bit. If my skin is dryer then I’ll have slight smile lines but nothing that bothers me. This thing is a lazy persons best friend when it comes to at home treatments. With the exception of the microcurrent feature, all of the treatments require no rinsing after. (So I can literally use this sitting on the couch or laying in bed) I enjoy skincare and use at least 3-5 face masks per week. Sometimes more. Since getting this, I’ve used less masks but have seen incredible results. It’s almost too good to be true! My skin has a much healthier glow to it, that you can’t get from any cream or serum. It’s just healthy looking and clear. I cannot wait to see what my skin looks like after using this for the next few months. This plus a good spf is literally all I need. Therabody never misses!" — Jessie Marie "This all-in-one tool has made me happy. I definitely have fewer fine lines and my skin is tighter. Don’t expect the results you would receive with a facelift, but there is a noticeable difference after using this for several months." — K. Amin Get it from Amazon for $249 (available in two colors). 3. Newkey 7 light mask This popular and highly rated mask boasts seven different light settings that purport to solve myriad skin issues. Like the above, red and blue light targets skin and acne issues. The company also offers green light it says can help improve pigmentation, yellow light that can soothe skin and reduces redness, purple light to stimulate lymph nodes and relax you, light blue light to soothe allergy-reactive skin and white light to accelerate tissue metabolism. The suggested operating time is between 15 and 20 minutes, though you'll probably want to start slow just a few times a week as you try out the different settings and see what works for you. Promising review: "It works. I was skeptical about this and had my eye on it for a while. I thought it was too expensive. But then I added up how much I was spending on facials including LED, I realized it may pay for itself. I’ve used it a few times and can see a difference. My skin is more even toned and looks younger. Fine lines seem even finer. Worth every penny." — Poolmomof3 Get it from Amazon for $150.89 . 4. LightStim for acne This LightStim wand combines blue and red wavelengths of therapeutic light to help treat and control mild to moderate acne, and its small compact nature makes it easy to use while on the go. It comes with a power adaptor, goggles and guide, so you know you're doing it right. Promising review : "It works! It works for me, I love it. I alway get acne on my jawline and forehead. I like the warm light, IT works when you use it daily until all the acne disappears." — Carrie Get it from Dermstore for $169 . 5. Skin Gym WrinkLit LED mask Skin Gym's mask uses three lights — blue, red, and orange — to help eliminate pesky zits, diminish redness, and leave dull skin fresh and glowing. It's wireless, so you don't have to be tied to a plug while it works, and it's pretty cute, if you ask me. Promising review : "Useful! It’s definitely awesome and worth every penny. I have acne prone skin and I can definitely see that my blemishes and pores are minimizing and fading away. Love this Mask!" — Naomi Get it from Bloomingdale's for $99 . 6. Solawave advanced skincare wand with red light therapy If a mask feels too cumbersome, then you may want to check out Solawave's red light wand. It helps depuff the skin along with providing the benefits of red light therapy like reducing the look of wrinkles, fine lines and dark circles over time. It's super portable and can accompany you on your travels with a charge that lasts up to 12 uses. Promising review : "Love this thing! As a previous cosmetologist of 14 years, I know changes in my skin when I see them! I noticed changes after the first time using this one it helps with acne and wrinkles and overall brightening of the skin. It will always be something I use in my routine!" — Katherine B. Get it from Solawave for $169 (available in three colors). 7. Aphrona LED light treatment mask Aphrona's mask penetrates the skin to the cellular level to treat issues such as fine lines, wrinkles and acne. It uses red, blue and green light to accelerate healing and support skin rejuvenation. It does have to be plugged in during use, so be prepared to stay put. Promising review : "First, I love this LED mask. I don’t find the heaviness of the mask to be that bad. What I do is place my nose in the nose slot first, then resting the mask directly to my forehead meaning my forehead and nose are in direct contact with the plastic mask/shield. The mask isn’t made of rubber and therefore it won’t conform to your face on all parts. The application I use gets the biggest bang for your buck in terms of getting your skin/face as close to the mask as possible. The closer your face is to the mask the better the LED’s do their job. If you do research, every inch that your face is from the mask, it’s power declines by a certain percent. In terms of the quality of the mask, the wavelength amounts for each color are excellent, as they have to be in a certain and specific range for them to do what they say they will do." — Privy Liyy Get it from Amazon for $169.99+ (available in two colors). 8. A box of sterile alcohol pads Don't forget to clean your mask after use, or else all your hard work will be for naught. I like to keep a box of medical-grade alcohol swabs handy and wipe the inside of the mask down a couple of times a week to keep it clean. This Medpride box includes 100 pads you can use as needed. Get them from Amazon for $4.25 (also available in a 200-pack).

Inside the 'swat team' -- how insects react to virtual reality gaming November 29, 2024 Flinders University Humans get a real buzz from the virtual world of gaming and augmented reality but now scientists have trialled the use of these new-age technologies on small animals, to test the reactions of tiny hoverflies and even crabs. In a bid to comprehend the aerodynamic powers of flying insects and other little-understood animal behaviors, the study is gaining new perspectives on how invertebrates respond to, interact with and navigate virtual 'worlds' created by advanced entertainment technology. Facebook Twitter Pinterest LinkedIN Email Humans get a real buzz from the virtual world of gaming and augmented reality but now scientists have trialled the use of these new-age technologies on small animals, to test the reactions of tiny hoverflies and even crabs. In a bid to comprehend the aerodynamic powers of flying insects and other little-understood animal behaviours, the Flinders University-led study is gaining new perspectives on how invertebrates respond to, interact with and navigate virtual 'worlds' created by advanced entertainment technology. Published in the journal of Methods of Ecology and Evolution , the new gaming software was developed by experts at Flinders University working with coauthor Professor Karin Nordström, who leads the Hoverfly Motion Vision Lab at Flinders University, and experts from Western Australia and Germany. The novel study aims to augment ongoing research into new technologies, including aviation and other precision devices, and provides researchers around the world with access to the specially designed software platform. The new research included biologists, neuroscientists and software experts, including Flinders University researchers Dr Yuri Ogawa, Dr Richard Leibbrandt and Raymond Aoukar, as well as Jake Manger and colleagues from The University of Western Australia. "We developed computer programs that create a virtual reality experience for the animals to move through," says Dr Ogawa, a Research Fellow in Neuroscience at the Flinders Health and Medical Research Institute. "Using machine learning and computer vision algorithms, we were able to observe the animals and work out what they are doing, whether that is a hoverfly attempting to turn to the left in its flight, or a fiddler crab avoiding a virtual bird flying overhead. "The software then adapts the visual scenery to match the movements that the animal has made." Study coauthor Dr Richard Leibbrandt, a lecturer at Flinders University's College of Science and Engineering, says the machine learning technologies used in the experiments are already revolutionising industries such as agriculture, for example in automatically monitoring crops and livestock, and in the development of agricultural robots. "Virtual and augmented reality is also instrumental in industries ranging from healthcare to architecture and the transport industry," says Dr Leibbrandt. This new virtual world for invertebrates is starting to unlock new ways to study animal behaviour in greater detail than ever before," adds Mr Aoukar, a Flinders University computer science graduate. "The last two decades have seen very rapid advances in algorithms and computer technology, such as virtual reality, gaming, artificial intelligence, and high-speed calculation using specialised computer hardware in graphics cards," says Mr Aoukar. "These technologies are now mature and accessible enough to run on consumer computer equipment, which opens up the chance to study animal behaviour in an environment that is systematically controlled, but still more natural than a typical lab experiment." As part of the behavioural observations and quantification, the new technique allows for identification of visual triggers of behaviour. Professor Nordström says other research groups are already taking an interest in using the new platform, which is described and can be downloaded from the new article. "This has truly been a team effort where every author on the paper has been instrumental in making the VR work. "We look forward to using the VR to investigate the mechanisms underlying decision-making in insects," says Professor Nordström. The user-friendly Unity Editor interface can simplify experimental design and data storage without the need for coding.
