Although chicken is delicious and nutritious, it is recommended to avoid eating the following 4 parts: 1. Chicken Skin Many people enjoy eating chicken skin because of its crispy texture and taste.

Seeing the presents, I was surprised – my sister had made a grave blunder in picking presents for Colin and Daniel on their sixth birthday celebration. Rather than the standard superb toys and games, she gave them indistinguishable sets of dress – dull, plain, and unacceptable for a birthday festivity. Befuddled, I hunkered down to comfort my wailing twins, holding the undesirable articles of clothing. Colin, with sorrowful eyes, figured out how to say, “Mother, Aunt gave us garments for our birthday. We needed toys!” Daniel repeated, “No doubt, Mother, it’s the most awful birthday of all time!” My heart…

The lanternfly, or Lycorma delicatula, is an insect you should get rid of immediately if you spot it. Originating in China, it was first seen in the U.S. in Pennsylvania in 2014. Since then, it has spread and caused significant agricultural and ecological damage.

Lanternflies are easy to identify. Adults are about an inch long, with gray wings featuring black spots and red and black underwings. Nymphs are…

Pores: We’ve all got these tiny openings in our skin for releasing sweat and oil, but for some people, they can be more temperamental than others. Or, rather, clogged pores happen more often to some of us than others.

Makeup, dirt, and/or comedogenic ingredients can also block the pore, and prevent that flow of…
