Por qué nunca deberías guardar tu pasaporte en tu equipaje de mano (ni siquiera en vuelos cortos)
Lazy_Bear / iStock Si hay algo que todo viajero frecuente teme, es tener que documentar su equipaje en la puerta de embarque. Documentar en puerta ocurre cuando los pasajeros se ven obligados a registrar su equipaje de mano, generalmente una maleta con ruedas, en la puerta antes de abordar el avión. Esta práctica se ha vuelto mucho más común recientemente, dado que muchos pasajeros ahora viajan solo con equipaje de mano para evitar pagar tarifas por documentar maletas.

¿Por qué las ventanas de los aviones tienen agujeros?
Conocidos como «agujeros de respiración» o «agujeros de sangrado», estos pequeños orificios ayudan con la presurización de la cabina y mantienen las ventanas despejadas. Wilbur y Orville Wright —los hermanos a quienes se les atribuye haber realizado el primer vuelo exitoso de la historia— necesitaban sentir el viento en la cara. Su modesto avión, un biplano de madera hecho de abeto y fresno cubierto con muselina de algodón, estaba abierto al aire libre.
Por qué nunca deberías guardar tu pasaporte en tu carry-on
Cada vez que vuelas, especialmente al extranjero, es fundamental tener tu pasaporte a la mano o guardado de forma segura en tu artículo personal (como una mochila pequeña o bolso de mano), nunca dentro del equipaje de mano que podría ir al compartimento superior. Aquí te explico por qué nunca deberías guardar tu pasaporte en tu equipaje de mano. ¿Qué pasa realmente si no activas el modo avión en tu teléfono durante un vuelo?
¿Cuándo se hace el check-in de un vuelo?
En la era pre-Internet, los pasajeros debían hacer su check-in directamente en el aeropuerto. Hoy, la mayoría de las aerolíneas permiten hacerlo en línea 24 horas antes del vuelo… pero no todos aprovechan esa ventaja. ¿Cuándo se hace el check-in de un vuelo? ¿Por qué es tan importante hacerlo tan pronto como se habilita? Hacer el check-in tan pronto como esté disponible (24 horas antes del vuelo) puede evitarte complicaciones.
Qué pasa si no activas el "modo avión" en tu celular en un vuelo
Aunque algunos países están flexibilizando las normas sobre el uso del modo avión durante los vuelos, lo mejor es seguir las instrucciones de la tripulación y activar el modo avión cuando se te indique. Si alguna vez te has preguntado por qué tu teléfono debe estar en modo avión durante un vuelo, no eres el único. De hecho, muchos pasajeros frecuentes no pueden explicar con certeza las razones de esta regla, y otros simplemente se olvidan de activarlo.
Perimenopause may start earlier than you think — here's what to know
It's safe to say that every woman knows what menopause is. It's the natural process that indicates the end of your menstrual cycle and brings with it quite a few hormonal changes. (Hello, hot flashes!) But what about the awkward stage that precedes it? If you didn't know, there's a transitional period called perimenopause that can occur when a woman's estrogen levels start to drop.

Shopping for a new mattress? Pair it with a new bed frame for as low as $92
Presidents Day is coming up, which means it's a great time to score deals on mattresses. However, after you find your perfect bed, you'll need something to put it on.

Regent Seven Seas Cruises Teams up with Fabergé on a Luxe Voyage Through Europe

It’s the first time in history a cruise line is partnering with the jeweler-to-the-royals, best known for hatching bedazzled eggs worth more than a Bentley. In fact, the anonymous owner of the $2.2 million dollar Game of Thrones dragon egg sailed on the first Fabergé Spotlight Voyage in June.

This portable $11 luggage scale can save you hundreds in overweight baggage fees
The portable scale helps to make packing as easy and stress-free as possible. The gadget's sensor can weigh up to 110 pounds, which is the perfect limit since many popular airlines won't accept baggage that exceeds 100 pounds. I also like that I can switch between pounds or kilograms with the push of a button, which is useful for when I'm traveling to countries that use the metric system.
How do I clean it?
One of the interesting things about being a pediatrician is getting questions that they don’t prepare you for in medical school. It turns out that there is not a randomized controlled trial on how to wash kids’ ears. Or when it is safe to pierce a baby’s ears if they have [insert rare condition] or which children’s TV show is least likely to cause parental nightmares. Doctors have to look at things that are tangentially related to the subject, or sometimes take an educated guess.
Jaundice-what's that?!
As I am opening a new pediatric practice, I am seeing lots of newborns and reviewing jaundice frequently. If your kids are older, feel free to skip this article, or think about that little baby you used to have and say, “Phew, glad I don’t have to worry about that anymore!” Jaundice is a condition where the skin turns yellow. There are many causes of jaundice in adults, but in newborns, it is usually simpler. Jaundice comes from the build-up of bilirubin in the blood.
Reading for joy
“There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate’s loot on Treasure Island and best of all, you can enjoy these riches every day of your life.” — Walt Disney Last night, my children were clamoring for another chapter of the book we have been reading (Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett). This surprised me a little. My older two are boys, and the book is about a little girl. And yet, my oldest was bringing me the book so that we could read in those few minutes before bedtime.
Tips to preventing ticks
After pulling six ticks off of myself while working outside last week, I figured it might be worthwhile to talk about ticks. Ticks are nasty little creatures. They are arachnids that require a blood meal to progress from larva to nymph to adult. When they feed on their host, they can become infected with microorganisms from an infected host – animal or human. Usually ticks have to be attached >24 to 48 hours to transmit infected contamination through saliva, regurgitation, feces, etc.
Importance of getting outside
I grew up on a “farm”. In retrospect, my childhood was atypical, although I didn’t know it then. I could run and play outside, read a book under a tree and ride my bike at leisure. Now that I have lived in multiple cities and suburban areas, I realize how blessed I was to have rich experiences in nature in my early years.
With new Covid strains on the rise, here's the safest way to grocery shop
Nearly a year into the coronavirus pandemic, most shoppers are familiar with public health recommendations like wearing a mask, social distancing, and staying home as much as possible. But as new, seemingly more contagious variants are discovered around the country, experts say it's important to maintain those protocols and try to limit trips to the grocery store when possible.
California Court of Appeal Finds Amazon Is Not Shielded from Liability for Defective Product Sold Through Its Website
Monday, November 16, 2020 In a decision that may impact future e-commerce, the California Court of Appeal held in Bolger v. Amazon.com, LLC that under California law, Amazon could be strictly liable for an allegedly defective battery manufactured by a third-party and sold on its website. The Court further found Amazon was not immune from liability under the Communications Decency Act. The Court reversed the trial court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of Amazon.
Skygazing in Alabama: The sky’s the limit – Alabama Living Magazine
By Katie Jackson Looking for something to do this summer? Look up. Whether viewing it from a blanket in the back yard or through a high-powered telescope, there’s as much to see in an Alabama sky as there are stars (and other celestial objects) in the heavens. Just be forewarned, looking up may keep you up at night. Stargazing is one of humankind’s oldest activities, and is the basis for our oldest science, astronomy.
This $12 argan oil made my hair softer, shinier and less frizzy in just 5 minutes
Sept. 9, 2019, 3:27 PM EDT / Updated Sept. 9, 2019, 3:32 PM EDT / Source: TODAY I'm no film critic, but I think one of the best movie character transformations is in "The Princess Diaries." The moment Anne Hathaway's character, Mia, reveals her new frizz-free hair is a major win for women everywhere. Like Mia, my confidence soars when I'm rocking sleek locks. Unfortunately for me, my naked hair usually looks dry, damaged and full of flyaways.
