You’ve probably encountered a pulse oximeter at some point, like at your doctor’s office, but it’s understandable that you might be fuzzy on the details of what, exactly, this little device is. A pulse oximeter is an electronic device that measures your heart rate and the amount of oxygen in your red blood cells, per the American Lung Association (ALA). To use it, you simply clamp the pulse oximeter onto your finger (kind of like a clothes pin) and wait to get your results....

What happens if you can’t find milk at the grocery stores—or can’t leave your house to find it?

The young boy’s adorable demeanor and polite reaction to the slice of tart citrus quickly went viral, garnering 6.7 million views since it was shared earlier this week. He stood next to the stove in the kitchen, a younger girl toddling up next to him, as his mother asked, “You want lemon?” He eyed the fruit in her hand curiously, smiling as she handed it over and thanking her before taking a tiny bite....

—Kayla R., Lima, Ohio I think you should focus on fit, for safe riding. Aside from the top tube, women’s and men’s bikes differ in ways that tend to suit each sex’s body type. Women usually have shorter torsos and longer legs than men of the same height, so their bikes are a bit shorter, and they adjust the seat higher. (And the seats themselves differ for comfort.) Their bikes also have shorter handlebar stems and narrower handlebars....

In the video, Shields, 57, was sitting in the car with her daughter, Rowan Henchy, 19, who was trying to replicate the viral trend where one person reaches into the backseat for a bag, which they use to lightly hit the other person in the head while pretending they didn’t realize it.

“The Delta variant is a highly contagious strain of the SARS-CoV-2 virus,” Dr. Stephen Parodi, MD, infectious disease leader, Kaiser Permanente, tells Parade. “It was first identified in India in December and spread rapidly through that country and Great Britain before reaching the U.S., where it is now the dominant variant." The CDC has described Delta as more transmissible than the common cold and influenza, he adds, as well as the viruses that cause ebola, smallpox, MERS and SARS....

“We at HarperCollins also feel extremely lucky to have worked with Beverly Cleary and to have enjoyed her sparkling wit,” wrote her publisher in a statement. “Her timeless books are an affirmation of her everlasting connection to the pleasures, challenges, and triumphs that are part of every childhood.” Born in McMinnville, Oregon, Cleary grew up Yamhill, a small town that didn’t have a library. However, her mother was able to get the state library to send books to the community....

Carson Kressley has a very different tone when he sat down with me last night compared to almost a week prior. Back then, he was remorseful and a little crushed. Though he had enjoyed his time in the Celebrity Big Brother house, when he found out about Todrick Hall and Miesha Tate deceiving him to backdoor Shanna Moakler, he felt incredibly guilt about turning on a friend. But in the days since, he’s been able to reconnect with her and apologize on multiple accounts....

Around the middle of every month, it seems, I glance at the calendar on my office wall and realize I haven’t turned the page. Which might be a metaphor for my life. I’m change-averse, you might say. Maybe it’s because I’m a “woman of a certain age,” which is a polite way to say I’m old and set in my ways. And yes, I still have an AOL account, please stop calling me a dinosaur....

“Oh man! When I heard there was a horror night, I was like, ‘Oh, my God, we have to do this!’” Mike “The Miz” Mizanin told Parade.com, referring to his Paso Doble to “Wicked Games” inspired by Hellraiser. “Witney [Carson] said, ‘Oh no, I don’t want to do it.’ I was like ‘Oh, we’re doing it 100 percent.’ Think of like the worst and that’s who we’re going to be....

He must not’ve fixed that gap, it’s his signature,’” he said in the video. “I was surprised, to be honest with you at how many people were like, ‘No! Don’t get rid of the gap, it’s your signature!’ And I’ve always kind of looked at it that way, but I didn’t know so many people really cared....

A new study published in Current Biology suggests that your pup may get so excited to see you after periods of separation that their eyes literally well with tears of joy. Takefumi Kikusui, a researcher at Azabu University in Japan, first hypothesized that oxytocin might increase tear production when one of his standard poodles was nursing her puppies and he noticed that her eyes looked teary. Oxytocin is known as a maternal or love hormone, and researchers knew from previous observations that oxytocin is released in dogs (as well as their humans) when they interact, leading Kikusui and his team to run a reunification experiment....
