Health authorities in the United Kingdomconfirmed on December 8, 2025, that they had detected a so-called "recombinant" version of the mpox virus in a male patient.

Packing for an international trip often means triple-checking that you have your passport, wallet, and phone before you leave the house. But one essential item travelers often overlook-or mismanage-is their medication. Forgetting a travel pill case, packing it in checked luggage, or not following TSA rules can quickly turn a dream vacation into a stressful scramble.

Much has been written about building a southern border wall to stop immigration. But while the fight over black paint, bricks, and steel has dominated headlines, another wall-larger, quieter, and potentially far more damaging-is already rising. This one is invisible. It's made of visa denials, delays, and mounting barriers that keep students, workers, tourists, and families from reaching the U.S.

There are plenty of travel hacks for saving money out there. Book on a Wednesday, only travel on Tuesdays, spin around and touch your toes to get a 15 percent discount on your next booking.
