Your skin is your body’s largest organ so it’s not surprising that it plays a pivotal role in your overall health and well-being. Not only does it play a critical role in your health, but your skin can also play a big role in your self-esteem and your personal confidence.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced the establishment of a Pentagon-run barracks initiative on Tuesday, giving a new Barracks Task Force 30 days to come up with an “investment plan” to improve troop housing.
Substandard barracks have long been a top concern for junior troops who live in them. Complaints about mold, rodents, squatters, exposed wiring, faulty appliances, clunky ventilation and dilapidated structures have been common among service members in barracks and other military housing for years.

The Pentagon’s recent decision to terminate Microsoft’s use of China-based engineers to support its cloud systems should shock no one. ProPublica’s investigation simply confirmed what many of us have known for years: foreign engineers had indirect access to some of our most sensitive networks, and the Department of Defense let it happen. Open source software (OSS) powers most of the world’s technology and is an incredible engine for innovation, but it cannot be deployed blindly without vetting and accountability.
The Department of Veterans Affairs now has an enormous amount of paperwork to correct after a staffer “blindly” approved thousands of disability claims without properly reviewing them for close to two years. Experts said that some veterans whose claims were caught up in the employee’s approval blitz actually missed out on benefits, and its unclear if — or how — the staffer’s rubber-stamping might impact other vets’ wallets.
Two years ago, Hamas led an attack on Israel. During the brutal assault, Palestinian militants killed more than 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and abducted 251 hostages. Today, around 20 hostages remain in Gaza who might still be alive, while the remains of around another 28 have not been returned. Israel’s response to the attack has devastated Gaza over the last two years, with intensive airstrikes, extensive ground operations, and severely restricted humanitarian aid.
Hung Cao, the new undersecretary of the Navy, has been tasked with spearheading digital modernization across the department.
Cao was confirmed by the Senate last week as the Navy’s No. 2 civilian official and sworn in by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
Secretary of the Navy John Phelan has already given the new undersecretary what a press release described as a “wide-ranging cross departmental portfolio” that “unifies the Department’s most consequential levers for rebuilding warrior ethos and quality of service.
Unmanned technologies have changed the character of high-intensity warfare in the three years since Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, and unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) have been an overlooked force driving this change.
Germany will conduct an assessment over the next several weeks to determine whether it will train Swiss troops to operate Patriot.
The Cold War must have been an amazing time to be a weapons manufacturer for the U.S. government. Like some kind of early Tony Stark (I guess that would be Howard Stark), if you could dream it, you could build it, and chances were very good the CIA would fund it.
From funding LSD tests using prostitutes and their johns (called—no joke—Operation Midnight Climax) to a secret underground ice base in Greenland to trying to build an actual flying saucer, there was literally no end to what the CIA would try.
