23 Products For Sensitive Noses And Stinky Homes
A self-sealing trash can so you no longer have to hover over a full, stinky trash bag and struggle to tie it while holding your breath. Once you take the bag out, it'll automatically replace it with a new one — welcome to the future.
Promising review: "This Airdeer Smart Trash Can has been a game-changer for us. We were on the hunt for a solution to contain the odors from our cat's litter, as our kitchen can couldn't quite handle it. This can effectively seal in the air, leaving no trace of any unpleasant smells. Surprisingly, we've placed this chic little can in our living room, and there's no hint of any odors emanating from it. With two cats, we find ourselves replacing the bag about once a week, but that's in tandem with our daily or sometimes twice-daily litter cleanings. Additionally, we use it for other items with strong odors, and it handles those just as efficiently.Overall, the Airdeer Smart Trash Can has been a real lifesaver. Its one-touch self-sealing mechanism ensures we don't have to come into direct contact with the trash, and the automatic bag replacement feature is a time-saver. The initial set of six refill bag rings (a total of 120 bags) provided was a generous bonus. Operating it is a breeze, thanks to the user-friendly voice prompts. Plus, the battery life is impressive, lasting anywhere from 90 to 180 days on a full charge." —Connor PaparoneGet it from Amazon for $129.99+ (available in three colors).

‘Unfriendly and meddling': Cuba reprimands US diplomat amid rising tensions
Cuba's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a statement of protest against the head of the United States mission to the island, Michael Hammer. In a news release published on Friday, the Foreign Ministry accused Hammer, a career diplomat, of 'unfriendly and meddling behaviour' since his arrival in Cuba in late 2024. 'By inciting Cuban citizens to commit extremely serious criminal acts, attacking the constitutional order, or encouraging them to act against the authorities or demonstrate in support of the interests and objectives of a hostile foreign power, the diplomat is engaging in provocative and irresponsible conduct,' the Foreign Ministry wrote. 'The immunity he enjoys as a representative of his country cannot be used as cover for acts contrary to the sovereignty and internal order of the country to which he is assigned, in this case, Cuba.' The Foreign Ministry said the message was delivered by its director of bilateral affairs with the US, Alejandro Garcia del Toro. Friday's statement is the latest indication of increasingly rocky relations between Cuba and the US, particularly since President Donald Trump began his second term in January. Diplomatic ties between the two countries, however, have been icy for decades, stretching back to the Cold War in the 1960s. After the Cuban Revolution of 1959, the US government imposed strict trade restrictions on the island and backed efforts to topple the newly established Communist government. But there have been efforts to ease the tensions, notably during the administrations of Democratic presidents like Barack Obama and Joe Biden in the US. In 2016, for instance, Obama sought to normalise relations with Cuba, only to see those efforts rolled back during the first Trump administration, starting in 2017. Likewise, President Biden – who formerly served as Obama's vice president – removed Cuba from the US's list of 'state sponsors of terrorism' in the waning days of his term in January. But upon taking office for his second time on January 20, Trump reversed course once more, putting Cuba back on the list that very same day. Trump also included in his presidential cabinet several officials who have taken a hardline stance towards Cuba, most notably former Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Born to Cuban immigrants, Rubio is an outspoken supporter of continuing the trade embargo against the island. The Cuban government, meanwhile, has continued to accuse the US of attempting to destabilise its leadership. In Friday's statement, the Cuban Foreign Ministry accused Hammer of 'public and insulting manipulation' for his recent visit to the tomb of a 19th-century national hero, Jose Marti. The US Embassy to Cuba posted a video of the visit with a voiceover of Marti's words, 'Respect for the freedom and thoughts of others, even of the most unhappy kind, is my passion: If I die or am killed, it will be for that.' Critics have interpreted that citation as an implied endorsement of dissent on the island. In recent months, there have also been signs that Trump plans to once again tighten the screws on the Cuban government, in a return to the 'maximum pressure' campaigns that typified foreign policy during his first term. In February, for instance, the Trump administration announced it would yank visas from anyone who works with Cuba's medical system, which sends thousands of healthcare workers abroad each year, particularly in the Caribbean region. Critics have criticised the healthcare programme for its low pay and hefty restrictions on its employees. Trump and Rubio, meanwhile, have claimed the medical system amounts to a form of 'forced labour' that enriches the Cuban government. But leaders in Havana have denied that allegation. Then, in April, the US government condemned Cuba for re-arresting a group of dissidents, among them prominent figures like Jose Daniel Ferrer and Felix Navarro. Cuba had initially agreed to release Ferrer and Navarro as part of a bargain brokered by the Vatican earlier this year. Cuba was expected to release 553 prisoners, many of whom were swept up in antigovernment protests, and in exchange, the US was supposed to ease its sanctions against the island. The sanctions relief, however, never came. An additional measure was taken against Cuba just this month. The Department of State, under Rubio's direction, determined that 'Cuba did not fully cooperate with US counterterrorism efforts in 2024'. It accused Cuba of harbouring 11 fugitives, some of whom faced terrorism-related charges in the US. 'The Cuban regime made clear it was not willing to discuss their return to face justice in our nation,' the State Department wrote in a news release. 'The United States will continue to promote international cooperation on counterterrorism issues. We also continue to promote accountability for countries that do not stand against terrorism.' As punishment, Cuba was labelled as a 'not fully cooperating country' under the Arms Export Control Act, a designation that limits its ability to buy weaponry and other defence tools from the US. Furthermore, Hammer had recently signalled that new sanctions were on the way for the island. But in the face of Friday's reprimand, the State Department indicated it was undeterred and would continue to support dissidents against Cuba's 'malign influence'.

Prince William's relatable parenting nightmare after Prince George and Princess Charlotte's 'massive fight'
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Prince William gave hope to parents everywhere when he revealed even future kings have to deal with stroppy children. The Prince of Wales shared there's often a "massive fight" between Prince George and Charlotte "most mornings" - and judging by the hilarious mimicking from Prince Louis, it won't be long until he's squabbling with his siblings too. Over the years fans have been treated to many adorable insights into the bond between Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, including the indulgent dinner the kids like to make for mom, Kate Middleton. And even though they largely get on great, it's a fact that all siblings bicker every now and then, and according to Prince William there's often a reason for a 'massive fight' between George and Charlotte. Speaking in an episode of Apple Fitness + series Time to Walk in 2021, the Prince of Wales explained that music is a huge passion his children share, but they don't see eye-to-eye on songs. So much so, that their determination to have their own choice of music played apparently leads to frequent arguments. Gilded Youth: An Intimate History of Growing Up in the Royal Family by Tom Quinn, | Was $26.64, Now $18.17 at Amazon Tom Quinn utilizes testimonies from palace staff and historical sources to paint a fascinating picture of what it's like growing up in the Royal Family. This book delves into the traditions that surround royal parenting and reveals shocking and hilarious anecdotes about royal children Deal "What I've been amazed by is how much my children already have inherited my family's love of music. Most mornings there's a massive fight between Charlotte and George as to what song is played in the morning," the future King explained. He then went on to share the solution he implemented to minimize this, revealing that he has to "basically prioritize" that on one day someone gets to choose the music and then someone else takes a turn on another day. Prince William said, "So George gets his go, then Charlotte gets her go. Such is the, the clamour for the music." "One of the songs that the children are loving at the moment is Shakira, Waka Waka. There's a lot of hip movements going along with a lot of dressing up," Prince William continued. "Charlotte particularly is running around the kitchen, in her dresses and ballet stuff. She goes completely crazy with Louis following her around trying to do the same thing." Since Prince William revealed the reason there was often a "massive fight" between Prince George and Charlotte it's possible that the bickering has stopped, thanks to him deciding they should take turns. Although now Prince Louis is older they will perhaps be having to adjust their morning routine at Adelaide Cottage to ensure he gets a say too. During his time in Singapore at the Earthshot Prize Awards, the Prince of Wales reportedly told One Republic, who performed at the ceremony, that Prince Louis is a huge fan. "I can't thank you enough. You were amazing. What a way to start the show. That was incredible," he is understood to have said. "Louis, my youngest, loves your songs." Meanwhile, Prince George supposedly enjoys a slightly different genre of music. Per the Daily Mail, the Prince of Wales spoke with people during a walkabout over the coronation weekend including Caroline Mulvihill, a member of the Rock Choir. "We were talking about the kind of music we do in Rock Choir and Will was telling us in their household they have a very diverse music taste and George is very much into AC/DC and Led Zeppelin," she declared.

Recall alert: 2 faucet models sold on Amazon risk ‘dangerous lead exposure for young children'
Two types of faucets sold on Amazon were recalled Thursday due to the risk of lead contained in the products polluting drinking water, federal safety officials said. 'The recalled faucets were tested and found to contain lead that can leach into water at levels that can be particularly harmful to infants and young children. The faucets were also found to leach other contaminants, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission said in a statement. Lead ingestion can impact brain development among infants and young children, causing neurological effects such as attention-related behavioral problems, decreased cognitive performance and lower IQ, the agency said. The recalled faucets are branded as 'BASDEHEN Kitchen Faucets,' with a model number of CFDTTH-000-YGH, and 'VFAUOSIT Kitchen Faucets,' model number 06BNV. More than 20,000 units of each product were sold, authorities said. The BASDEHEN faucet has a single, matte black handle that rotates 360 degrees, with a springy, detachable sprout. It was sold on Amazon by Chenfeng Store from May 2024 until this month. The VFAUOSIT product was described as a 'brushed nickel, single-handle' faucet with a pull-down detachable spray. It was sold on Amazon from January last year through this month. In both cases, consumers should immediately stop using the faucets and contact their sellers about disposal and a refund. Amazon is also contacting known buyers directly, officials said. Until the faucets can be replaced, owners should only consume water from them after running the tap for 15 seconds, authorities said.
