Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport has a strong record for getting flights in and out on time, despite the region’s often-snowy weather. Photo: Shari L. Gross/Minneapolis Star Tribune/ZUMA PRESSFinding an airport that gets everything right is a fool’s errand. Orlando might have great food and shopping, but it is located in an area with lousy weather. Los Angeles International outperforms other airports on fast times through security, according to federal data, but the traffic on the way to the airport can be ghastly.

Q: It looks like I have fungus beneath my toenail, but how can I be sure? Does toenail fungus go away on its own? Experts say these infections don’t go away on their own and can easily spread from person to person without treatment. “Fungus tends to be greedy,” said Dr. Boni Elewski, chair of the department of dermatology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham. Toenail fungus affects an estimated one in 10 people worldwide, and becomes more common with age — afflicting more than half of those ages 70 and up.

CNN —Actor Mandy Moore’s son recently woke up to a startling rash covering his body, according to her Instagram posts. Gianotti-Crosti syndrome. What is Gianotti-Crosti syndrome? Experts say they don’t know why some children get Gianotti-Crosti syndrome and others don’t, but it is thought to be a hypersensitive response to an underlying infection, according to the National Institutes of Health. Usually, the Gianotti-Crosti syndrome resolves itself over time — anywhere from a couple weeks to a couple of months, Levoska said.

Maxon Wille, an 18-year-old in Surprise, Ariz., was driving toward Interstate 17 last year when he noticed a massive construction site: Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company at work on its new factory in Phoenix. “I can see this being the next big thing,” Mr. Wille said. Semiconductor manufacturers say they will need to attract more workers like Mr. Wille to staff the plants that are being built across the United States. America is on the cusp of a semiconductor manufacturing boom, strengthened by billions of dollars that the federal government is funneling into the sector. President Biden had said the funding will create thousands of well-paying jobs, but one question looms large: Will there be enough workers to fill them?

☆ UV light from gel manicures can cause cancer-causing mutations, study finds

In fact, the results reaffirm the reason why some dermatologists have changed the way they get their gel manicures or have stopped getting them altogether. “Tanning beds are listed as carcinogenic and UV nail lamps are mini tanning beds for your nails in order to cure the gel nail,” Curtis said. “I would recommend alternatives to gel nails, such as the new wraps that are available online.” (Gel nail wraps or strips are stick-on gel nail products that don’t always require being set by UV nail dryers.) Some salons use LED lights, which “are thought to emit either no UV light or much, much lower amounts,” Lipner said. Russak doesn’t get gel manicures very often but uses sunscreen and gloves when she does, she said.
