Memorial Day weekend is generally considered the unofficial kickoff of the summer season, which means backyard barbecues, baseball games, beach trips and road trips to capture the patriotism of our great nation — as well as time to honor and remember those who gave their lives for our country. 

Summer offers a unique opportunity to travel with children or grandchildren and introduce them to important history lessons across the U.S. 

If you’re a history buff or want to share significant adventures with your family or friends, three American cities offer a blend of historic sites, museums and American tributes and national treasures.

JOHN WAYNE’S LIFELONG LEADING ROLE AS AMERICAN PATRIOT CELEBRATED AT FORT WORTH MUSEUM 

Leslie Carbone, a travel blogger at Sancerres at Sunset and based in Virginia, said that Colonial Williamsburg — the first location listed below — “is the world’s largest living history museum. It’s a place everyone who loves America should visit at least once,” she told Fox News Digital.

These three locations can foster learning opportunities and leisurely history lessons — and create memories for a lifetime. Read on for more details. 

1. Williamsburg, Virginia 

When you plan a visit to Williamsburg, you learn about the history of America, plus you’re surrounded by it.

Spring is a wonderful time to visit, said Carbone. “The weather is pleasant, the gardens are blooming, and the crowds are still manageable,” the travel blogger said. 

Williamsburg was the first planned city in America, founded in 1699 as the capital of the Virginia Colony. Today, you can explore the streets of a living history museum portrayed by Colonial Williamsburg.

While there, you can discover historic reenactments, archeological digs, historical taverns and enriching museums. 

Also, carve out time to stroll through the iconic shops of the noteworthy Merchants Square — and venture beyond Colonial Williamsburg to the enjoyable Williamsburg Tasting Trail, where you can enjoy standout craft beers, local wines and meads, plus distilled spirits.

CONSTRUCTION PROJECT IN VIRGINIA LEADS TO SURPRISING REVOLUTIONARY WAR-ERA DISCOVERY 

After a day of history lessons, settle in at the Williamsburg Lodge, Autograph Collection — which offers southern elegance and the furnishings of colonial times. 

While you step back in time during your travels, some culinary spots to try include Traditions in the Williamsburg Lodge or the city’s famous Cheese Shop. 

The Secrets and Untold Stories of Williamsburg Tour tells the true story of Americans that helped found our country.

For a history-centric dinner experience, consider Kings Arm Tavern, a “refined chophouse experience,” as its website notes. 

Also, take a tour of the historic First Baptist Church of Williamsburg, organized by Baptists in 1781 under Rev. Gowan Pamphlet, an enslaved man in Williamsburg.  

Another can’t miss is the Secrets and Untold Stories of Williamsburg Tour, the true story of Americans that helped found our country.

2. St. Augustine, Florida 

As the oldest city in the United States, this coastal location in northeastern Florida is a history lover’s pick.

The city boasts attractions such as military forts, castles, charming lighthouses, scenic nature trails and more. Be sure to visit museums, embark on scary ghost tours or participate in historical reenactments.

For history buffs, stop by Castillo de San Marcos, a fortress constructed by the Spanish between 1672 and 1695. 

It’s the oldest masonry fort in the continental United States, according to Visit Florida.

Then, meander through St. Augustine Lighthouse & Maritime Museum, an iconic lighthouse built in 1874 overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. 

You’ll learn about maritime heritage and the lives of the region’s lighthouse keepers.

ST. AUGUSTINE: EXPLORING FLORIDA’S LITTLE-KNOWN PARADISE 

Tim Schmidt, a Florida-based travel expert and author, told Fox News Digital that St. Augustine is a hidden destination for history lovers. 

“I live in South Florida, so I’m lucky enough to have visited this incredible city many times. There’s nowhere else in the U.S. that makes you feel like you’ve stepped right into the past quite like St. Augustine,” said Schmidt, who runs AllWorld.com

“There’s nowhere else in the U.S. that makes you feel like you’ve stepped right into the past quite like St. Augustine.”

Schmidt said he discovers new things each time he visits. 

“Every time I wander through the pedestrian-friendly historic district, with buildings dating back to the 1700s, I’m blown away by the sense that I’ve been transported back in time. You don’t just read about history here — you can reach out and touch it.”

Be sure to plan time for the Cathedral Basilica of St. Augustine, considered the oldest Catholic parish in the United States, per Visit Florida. 

To get your steps in, stroll down St. George Street, a pedestrian thoroughfare in the heart of St. Augustine’s historic district, featuring shops and restaurants. 

For folklore beyond history, visit the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park, which — according to legend — Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León discovered the Fountain of Youth in St. Augustine in 1513.

For an enjoyable dining experience, try the Raintree Restaurant, Salt Life Food Shack or St. Augustine Seafood Company. 

When making travel plans, Rodeway Stay Inn is conveniently located within walking distance of some of St. Augustine’s renowned historical landmarks.

3. Independence, Missouri  

This midwestern destination is best known for being the home of President Harry S. Truman

While in town, pay a visit to the Harry S. Truman Presidential Library and Museum, which takes an in-depth look at his life and legacy.

Recently renovated in 2020, the site is also on the U.S. Civil Rights Trail, as Truman desegregated the United States military, according to the Missouri Tourism Office.

In addition, the city of Independence curated a Truman Historic Walking Trail to showcase locations and landmarks significant to the president. 

Independence was a starting point for thousands of American pioneers as they headed west on the Oregon, California and Santa Fe trails. 

“Independence is a great vacation destination for history buffs,” said Katie Blake, spokesperson with Missouri’s Division of Tourism. “It was hugely important to American pioneers and President Harry S. Truman once considered it the ‘center of the world.’ Its rich history is still evident today in its fascinating museums and landmarks.”

MISSOURI MUSEUM ACHIEVES WORLD RECORD FOR LARGEST GATHERING OF PEOPLE WITH UNDERWEAR ON THEIR HEADS 

Another site worth visiting is the Vaile Mansion, built in 1881. It was once known as “the most princely house and the most comfortable home in the entire west,” according to the Kansas City Times in 1882.

Independence is also known as the “Queen City of the Trails” because it was a starting point for thousands of American pioneers as they headed west on the Oregon, California, and Santa Fe trails. 

Visitors to Independence can learn about this part of the city’s history at National Frontier Trails Museum and Pioneer Trails Adventures, a guided tour on a mule-drawn covered wagon.

Revolutionising Cardiac Care at Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur

Advanced TAVI Procedure on Patient with Severe Aortic Stenosis

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, May 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur (PHKL), a leader in medical excellence and patient care, has achieved another significant medical milestone with the successful launch of its Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) program. TAVI is a minimally invasive procedure designed to replace a narrowed aortic valve that does not open properly. It is typically performed through a small incision in the groin, using a catheter to implant a new valve under x-ray guidance. The complex procedure is performed by a TAVI team led by PHKL’s Senior Consultant Cardiologist Dr. Yee Kok Meng on patients suffering from severe aortic stenosis, a condition in which the aortic valve narrows and impedes blood flow from the heart to the body.

“Traditionally, these very sick heart patients were treated surgically by replacing the damaged heart valve with an artificial valve via open heart surgery. However such operations especially in the elderly population or those with multiple comorbidities may be very high risk. Now with TAVI, we are able to offer such patients an alternative approach which is both minimally invasive and much safer” said Dr Yee.

“At Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur, I am especially glad we are able to ramp up the TAVI program this year thanks to the support of the PHKL hospital management and all the staff involved. Due to the complexity of the procedure, TAVI requires a teamwork approach, and to this end PHKL has really provided all the support required to build up a dedicated TAVI team, which I think is crucial to ensure that the excellent results in terms of patient care and clinical outcomes are maintained,” added Dr Yee. Over the past month, two patients diagnosed with critical aortic stenosis, including an 83-year-old gentleman from Ipoh, and a 69 year-old Indonesian recovering from a recent stroke underwent TAVI successfully. Both patients were discharged home within 48 hours of the procedure.

The Heart Centre at Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur has been at the forefront of treating complex heart conditions with cutting-edge technologies. This successful procedure not only represents a personal victory for the patient and Dr. Yee but also sets a benchmark for cardiac care standards nationwide.

To ensure the health of your heart continues to play the right rhythms, PHKL emphasises the importance of early detection and preventive measures. PHKL’s Heart Screening Package offers various assessments tailored to meet individual needs and lifestyles. From stress tests and echocardiograms to cardiac CT heart scans, our cardiologists are equipped to detect potential heart issues early and to ensure your heart is performing at its best.

“The success of such advanced procedures at PHKL is a testament to the expertise and dedication of our medical teams and their relentless pursuit of excellence in healthcare,” said Erica Lam, Chief Executive Officer of Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur. “We are proud to provide our patients with access to some of the most sophisticated treatment options available in the world right here in Malaysia.”

Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur remains dedicated to enhancing patient care through innovation and expertise, contributing significantly to the advancements in the medical field, particularly in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases.

For more information about PHKL Heart Screening Package, please visit Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur’s website: www.pantai.com.my/kuala-lumpur or visit Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur for a consultation and find out more about how you can stay ahead of heart disease.

Dr. Yee Kok Meng, Consultant Cardiologist
MBChB (Edin), MD (Cardiology, UK), M C P (UK), FACC (USA)

Dr Yee is a Senior Consultant Cardiologist at Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur since 2005, and has over 20 years of clinical experience as an Interventional Cardiologist. He obtained his degree in Internal Medicine at the University of Edinburgh, UK in 1993. He subsequently completed his training and specialised in Cardiology at Cambridge University in 2001. He was then offered a fellowship in Interventional Cardiology by the University of Toronto, Canada. Based at the Toronto General Hospital, Dr Yee gained vast experience in all aspects of interventional cardiology procedures. He subsequently returned to Malaysia in August 2002 Dr Yee has contributed significantly to the field of cardiology and has published widely in respected scientific journals. In 2002, the University of Edinburgh awarded Dr Yee the postgraduate MD doctorate in Cardiology with distinction. He has vast experience in a wide range of interventional procedures and performs most of his cases via the transradial route. He is also experienced with the use of various adjunctive devices and therapies such as rotational atherectomy, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS), OCT and coronary doppler wire (Pressure Wire).

About Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur
For 5 decades now, Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur (PHKL) has remained the heartbeat of Kuala Lumpur, steadfastly dedicated to delivering exceptional care and accessible cutting-edge technology to patients from all walks of life. Our journey began in 1974, with just 68 beds and a team of 20 medical specialists. Fast forward to the present day, we stand as a healthcare icon, operating 380 beds and home to over 200 consultants, each specialising in diverse medical and surgical disciplines.

At Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur, we are unwavering in our commitment to provide quality healthcare services while fostering clinical research and trials. We take pride in championing clinical excellence, service quality, and operational efficiency. Our pursuit of excellence has earned us accreditations from the Malaysian Society for Quality in Health (MSQH) and the Joint Commission International (JCI). Additionally, we are honoured to hold certification as a Baby Friendly Hospital and a preferred hospital in Malaysia by the World Health Organization (WHO).

As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, Pantai Hospital Kuala Lumpur reaffirms its role as a pillar of the city, offering world-class healthcare services, innovative treatments, and a legacy of excellence.

‘No Botox, no peels, no fillers’: Salma Hayek’s go-to ingredient for ageless skin is in this cream, now just $9

0

Imagine being Salma Hayek — an award-winning actress and film producer, and a bonafide beauty icon. A red-carpet regular season after season, the 57-year-old never fails to blow us away, thanks to her seemingly ageless beauty. Wondering what the secret is behind her gorgeous complexion? The screen queen credits one buzzy ingredient in this cream for her glowing skin. You don’t have to have a movie star’s salary to bring home some for yourself: You can snag a jar now at Amazon while it’s on sale for just $9.

Amazon

This night cream contains Salma Hayek’s secret weapon skin-care ingredient for youthful-looking skin.

$9 at Amazon

While the Del Indio Papago Night Cream has gone on sale off and on over the last few months, this is the lowest price it’s been since Black Friday. Plus, $10 is a good price for a solid anti-aging regimen when you consider alternative methods.

Hayek has been steaming up the silver screen for nearly 30 years, but take one look at her youthful complexion and you’d think she was still an ingénue. There’s no magic behind her flawless skin, just the bark of a tree, found in this cream.

“I use an ingredient called Tepezcohuite that’s used in Mexico for burn victims because it completely regenerates the skin,” Hayek told Elle. “Some of the ingredients, when I took them to the American labs, they were like, ‘Oh my God! How come nobody is using this?’ This is why I have no Botox, no peels, no fillers.”

The Tepezcohuite tree is often called the “Mexican skin tree” because its bark is known to help regenerate skin and hair. As a testament to that, it was used to treat hundreds of thousands of burn victims in an earthquake and a gas explosion in Mexico in the 1980s when no medical supplies were available.

Not many American companies have caught on. Yahoo’s senior beauty editor, Jennifer Romolini, tested out Del Indio Papago Night Cream and reported softer skin, though she found another product with an even higher concentration of Tepezcohuite that’s possibly more effective on wrinkles.

Could this Mexican cream make your skin look as timeless as Hayek’s? (Getty)

More than 4,000 Amazon shoppers give the Del Indio Papago Night Cream a perfect, five-star rating.

“I read the Salma Hayek article and decided to give it a go,” a reviewer said. “I have ridiculously picky skin (rosacea, sensitivities, etc.), and I don’t get my hopes up, as most things I try either irritate my skin or cause breakouts. I have sun damage, fine lines and menopausal acne. Basically, I never know what I’ll see when I look in the mirror. I’ve used this for three weeks, and so far, so good. No irritation, my skin is calm and hydrated, and best of all, no acne.”

“In all of my decades of trying skin care products, Tepezcohuite has been the most transformative product I have ever used,” declared an excited shopper. “In just a week’s worth of use, morning and night, I see a noticeable improvement in my skin’s tone, feel and texture. My 67-year-old skin glows again for the first time in decades.”

One five-star reviewer reported: “I get the hype. It is an excellent moisturizer. My skin feels smooth and hydrated. Small lines are less noticeable.”

“When I bought this cream, I didn’t know anything about it,” related an enthusiastic user. “I was pleasantly surprised at how it made my skin feel and the quality of the product. I will be 70 years old this month, and my skin looks 20 years younger.”

Some reviewers mention that the cream does have a natural scent, but say that it doesn’t bother them

“It’s super thick and feels great on my skin,” said one customer, adding: “It definitely smells like mimosa trees.”

“I’ve only been using it for a month, but I’m finally seeing a refinement of deep forehead deep lines,” said one four-star shopper. “My couple of complaints are the smell — unpleasant and medicinal. It’s also ‘gloppy’ to apply. However, the price is very nice. I have ultra sensitive skin and have had no issues with Del Indio.”

“The smell is a little intense but it doesn’t linger,” added another.

If you’re after the full 24-hour experience of this skin cream, Del Indio Papago makes a lighter-weight version for daytime use.

Amazon

This daytime cream contains Tepezcohuite powder, collagen and vitamin E.

$10 at Amazon

And if you’re interested in Tepezcohuite, we recommend trying out some other products containing the ingredient:

Amazon

“A higher concentration of [Tepezcohuite], plus a more natural formula at the same price point make this serum from Imagine Dermatology an obvious Del Indio Papago alternative,” wrote our Senior Beauty Editor, Jennifer Romolini. 

$16 at Amazon

If you’d like to go full Tepezcohuite with Del Indio Papago, you can wash up with their bar soap too!

Victorian father denies assault and says three-week-old baby died after he accidentally dropped him

0

A Victorian father claims his newborn son died after he accidentally dropped him and denies allegations that he violently assaulted the baby, a jury has been told.

The man, whose identity is suppressed, has been charged with child homicide and is facing trial in the Supreme Court.

Prosecutors have alleged he violently assaulted the baby in a moment of intolerance and frustration — shaking him, striking him, or both after he awoke crying and screaming about midnight.

He initially told paramedics the 24-day-old just went limp in his arms after his partner went to fetch a bottle of milk, the jury was told on Tuesday.

His lawyer said the father repeated the claim at hospital, where the baby later died in November 2017, however police looked into the case and uncovered a different story.

Officers found out the man went to a doctor about his depression and confessed he actually dropped his son, defence barrister Rishi Nathwani SC told the jury on Wednesday.

“It is accepted by (my client) that he was not telling the whole truth,” Nathwani said.

“(But) are there reasons to say (the baby) went limp that are consistent with innocence?”

The man denied the charge of child homicide, he said.

He flagged the defence would question whether a forensic paediatric practitioner, who looked at the baby’s injuries, came into the case with a closed mind.

What was in dispute was whether she “went from an impartial expert to an investigator or an advocate,” Nathwani said.

The fairness and impartiality of the police investigation would also be questioned, the barrister said.

“There’s no dispute there are a number of injuries, but there is a dispute about what they mean,” Nathwani said.

The accused father had no criminal convictions and had worked as a chef, he said.

Prosecutor Mark Gibson KC on Tuesday told the jury the baby died in hospital after sustaining catastrophic injuries, with bruises to his scalp, blood on the brain, brain swelling and bleeding to his eyes.

The injuries raised concern they were non-accidental, and their extent was revealed in scans, he said.

“This case is about what happened in those few minutes in the master bedroom,” Gibson said.

The trial continues.

Equitable access to treatment must keep pace with latest advances in reproductive surgery

0

MANILA, Philippines, May 22, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Profound benefits of new developments in reproductive surgery that facilitate parenthood and enhance quality of life will only be fully realised by making them accessible to all people experiencing the distress of infertility.

The challenge lies in overcoming socio-economic and geographic influences and ethical dilemmas to ensure equitable and affordable access to these life changing procedures.

Renowned Swiss reproductive surgeon, Professor Anis Feki, will dissect this challenge at the 2024 Congress of the Asia Pacific Initiative on Reproduction (ASPIRE) in the Philippines this week.

Specialist scientists, clinicians, nurses and counsellors in fertility health from around the world are attending the Congress from 23 to 26 May to address new milestones in the diagnosis and treatment of one in every six couples living with infertility.

Professor Feki – Head of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Hospital Cantonal and Professor at the University of Fribourg, Switzerland – says it is vital that all segments of society benefit from exciting advances in reproductive surgery and supporting technologies.

In his opening lecture at the ASPIRE Congress in Manila, Professor Feki, will stress that “reproductive surgery extends beyond its medical and technical aspects to touch upon far reaching elements of human life and well-being.

He says: “There are multiple outcomes in the future of reproductive surgery. In helping to facilitate parenthood, this form of surgery also strives to address deep psychological impacts of failing to conceive leading to feelings of inadequacy, stress and depression.

“Additionally, it aims to overcome pain and discomfort from conditions such as endometriosis that impact on quality of life.

“However, there are significant disparities in access to reproductive health care services influenced by socio-economic status, ethnicity and geographic location.

“The role of health insurance and government policies in covering advanced reproductive care can greatly affect accessibility. There is a need for policy reforms to include comprehensive coverage for reproductive health issues.”

Professor Feki, who is Chair-elect of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology, said technological advances, particularly minimally invasive and robotic surgeries, have significantly improved patient outcomes with quicker recovery times.

“Emerging fields such as regenerative and precision medicine are revolutionising reproductive surgery by enabling more personalised and effective interventions,” he said.

“Innovations such as stem cell therapy and tissue engineering to restore fertility and hormone function are at the forefront offering new possibilities for treating infertility and other reproductive conditions.

“Artificial intelligence algorithms can analyse vast amounts of medical data to enable surgeons to make more informed decisions and tailor approaches to each patient enhancing surgical precision and safety.

“Machine learning algorithms can also sift through genetic information to identify mutations and genetic markers associated with infertility, guiding personalised treatment strategies.

“Robotic surgery has enhanced the precision, flexibility and control beyond the capabilities of conventional techniques, especially in complex procedures.

“However, these approaches can be costly, making them inaccessible to some patients in different countries. The challenge lies in ensuring equitable access to these life-changing procedures so they are available to wider populations.”

The ASPIRE Congress is being held at the Philippine International Convention Centre in Manila from 23 to 26 May. For further information, go to the Congress website www.aspire2024.com

Want to fit in while in Japan? Follow these unusually specific ‘life rules’ issued by the government

0

Japan recently introduced a Digital Nomad Visa that allows foreigners from 49 countries to live in the country for six months.

But before they pack their bags, they may want to read Japan’s “Life and Work Guidebook,” which is aimed at helping foreigners fit in.

The guidebook, published by Japan’s Immigration Services Agency, provides advice on immigration, medical care and housing. But the chapter on “Daily Rules and Customs” is where foreigners will find specific guidance on “life rules” that illustrate Japan’s emphasis on collectivism and respect.

Here are some of the rules.

1. Making noise 

According to the guidelines, “Japanese people tend to think that loud sounds and voices bother others.”

Not only party and music levels should be kept to a minimum, but also “voices” and “TV” levels, the guidebook states.

Foreigners are also advised to avoid making noise when using “a washing machine, or a vacuum cleaner, or taking a shower early in the morning or late at night.”

Listening to music through earphones may not even be enough on buses and trains.

“Be sure that your music is not too loud and cannot be overheard outside of the earphones,” the guidebook states.

2. Coughing manners 

Section 2.2 of the rulebook deals solely with “coughing manners.”

There are even separate rules for “sudden” coughs and persistent coughs.

“If you suddenly cough or sneeze, do so in your elbow or inside your sleeves of jacket,” it states. “Do not use your hands.”

Others should wear a mask, it states.

Mask-wearing was a fixture in Japanese daily life even before the Covid-19 pandemic, according to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, thanks to the country’s focus on personal hygiene and cleanliness.

“Japan is home to a culture of being considerate of other people,” the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in an article about mask culture. “These defining characteristics of the Japanese people reinforced their awareness so as to avoid causing trouble to others around them, and this may have made it easier for masks to come into extensive use.”

Mask usage rose in prominence in Japan during the Spanish influenza, which began in 1918, and increased through the years, according to the ministry. Now, they’re considered “a stylish fashion item,” it added.

3. No phones on bikes

Many countries prohibit using mobile phones while driving cars. In Japan, this rule also applies to bikes.

Bicycles are a popular way for locals and tourists to get around the country, with many tourist destinations offering rental bicycles, according to Japan Guide.

Cyclists in Tokyo cannot hold, talk or text while riding a bike. Earphones are also prohibited by law.

4. How to act on public transport

Talking on the phone on buses and trains is frowned upon in Japan.

The guidebook highlighted that such a gesture is deemed highly impolite as it “bothers other people.”

Talking to seatmates can also offend in Japan —if it’s too loud.

“Speaking in a loud voice is considered to be manner violation,” the guidelines states, in reference to passengers on buses and trains.

“Talking on the phone on a bus or train is considered to be bad manners in Japan,” states a guidebook for foreigners published by Japan’s government.

Most Japanese passengers stand or sit in silence when riding public trains, according to Japan Rail Pass, a website for train travel in Japan.

Foreigners are expected to abide by such rules and are reminded to speak to the train driver only in “emergency situations,” it said.

Anyone who has ever been hit in the head by an errant backpack may appreciate the government’s final tip for public transport: “When a bus or train is crowded, take care so your backpack does not bother other people.”

Why Japan’s advice is so detailed

Japan is a ethnically homogeneous country with lower rates of immigration than other countries, said Henri Vlahović, the managing director of Meiji Academy, a Japanese language and culture school.

As such, it’s focused on retaining its culture by encouraging foreigners to conform, he said.

“Immigration is usually seen as something more sensitive,” said Vlahović. “The government is very concerned about reducing or omitting any type of trouble that could occur by foreigners not following certain rules.”

Vlahović explained that those rules govern how Japanese society functions, which is also expected from foreigners living and visiting Japan.
