Woman Goes for Pedicure—Forgets One Small Detail That Ruins It: 'Help'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. During a pedicure, some technicians go the extra mile by exfoliating not just the feet, but the legs too. However, one pedicurist was recently caught on camera removing more than just dead skin. The footage quickly went viral, amassing 1.4 million views. It shows Megan Shumate (@megshum)'s legs and a male nail technician rubbing her calves—which are notably a different shade than above her knee—with a scrub. "When I noticed my legs were getting lighter, I was so confused but then remembered I had fake tan on," she told Newsweek. "I just moved to Florida and forgot how pale I was under the fake tan, so that was my sign to hit the beach as soon as possible." The 26-year-old, who works as a senior analyst, added text explaining what happened to the video, followed by "help." She notes that the man didn't acknowledge it, despite many users commenting on how they believe he is feeling. One user wrote: "He's probably freaking out inside," and another chimed in: "I KNOW he's panicking." Shumate, who lives in Tampa, added that she was getting pampered ahead of a party. "Luckily it was themed, and I was wearing cowgirl boots so it covered my extremely pale calves!" she said. She jokes in the caption: "My legs are literally reflecting against the Florida sun," earning 63,000 likes. "You live in Florida and couldn't tan regularly?" asked one user. But using tanning products isn't unusual, in fact, many people opt against sunbathing to prevent their skin cancer risk. In 2015, a study conducted by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) found that 17.7 percent of women aged 18–49 reported using sunless tanning products. Specifically, 15.3 percent used lotion tanning, 6.8 percent used spray tanning, and 23.7 percent of sunless tanners also engaged in indoor tanning. Newsweek previously spoke to Dr. Beth Goldstein, a board-certified dermatologist at the Central Dermatology Center in North Carolina, about sunless tanning. Fake tan lotions typically contain an ingredient called dihydroxyacetone (DHA), a color additive that darkens the skin by reacting with amino acids in the skin's surface. It is FDA-approved and typically deemed "safer," Goldstein told Newsweek. She said: "There are some safety considerations around DHA, particularly in people with an altered skin barrier, such as the creation of oxidative damage." But given that there is little to no penetration beyond the top layer of the skin with these lotions, "this is likely not to cause any serious concerns with normal skin," she added.

Mullens Elementary School recognized as Exemplary Practice School
MULLENS, WV (WVNS) – Students, faculty, and staff at Mullens Elementary School are being acknowledged by the state for their efforts to improve student outcomes. In a day of celebration at Mullens Elementary School, the school was recognized by the West Virginia Department of Education as an Exemplary Practice School. It is one of only three schools in the Mountain State to earn the distinction this year. Since the Spring of 2024, the Department of Education's Exemplary Practice School program has been showcasing schools that have shown notable progress in one or more areas of the West Virginia Standards for Effective Schools. The standards serve as a reference for educators and administrators to assess and improve learning, and include areas of emphasis such as 'clear and focused mission,' 'instructional leadership,' and 'high expectations for success,' just to name a few. The data-driven approach of Mullens Elementary has resulted in notable improvements in grades, test scores, and attendance for students over the past two years. As a Mullens native herself, the Coordinator for the West Virginia Department of Education Office for District & Leadership Support, Jordan McBride was beaming with pride at the recognition of the community members behind this notable achievement. 'It's huge! I am honored to be from Mullens. This was my middle school. I went to middle school here,' said McBride. 'My parents' house is behind this school. Two tiny pieces of my heart are behind me, and my nephews go here. So, I've had these teachers. I've grown up with these people. It makes me emotional because it is such a big deal for them to be recognized for the hard work they do every day in such a small town.' During the ceremony, Mullens Elementary students were addressed by staff and faculty members, including another Wyoming County native, Kara Shumate, who is in her third year serving as Principal for Mullens Elementary. Shumate told 59News that a renewed focus on the school's math department, along with an emphasis on attendance, collaboration, and teamwork have been essential to the school's recent success, the effects of which she says can be felt throughout the community.'Being from Wyoming County, we say it all the time, it's very close-knit,' Shumate told 59News. 'We're a small community. We've got a lot of community involvement, and just being recognized on this stage for the whole state is such an honor for our school and our community.' Mullens Elementary is the latest West Virginia School to be recognized for its exemplary practices, following Mylan Park Elementary and White Hall Elementary, which were recognized in April. Administrators who feel their schools may fit the bill for the Exemplary Practice program are encouraged to submit an application to the West Virginia Department of Education detailing the unique ways they are making a difference for their students.

WATCH: Ohio State wrestling's Seth Shumate pulls off big upset with pin
WATCH: Ohio State wrestling's Seth Shumate pulls off big upset with pin There were very few major upsets in the first round of the NCAA Wrestling Tournament. In fact, only one wrestler seeded six or better lost (Johnson Paniro of Iowa State at 149 lbs). As we got lower in the top ten seeds, though, a few upsets were sprinkled in. And by far the most exciting upset of the first round came from Ohio State's Seth Shumate at 197 lbs, as he upset No. 10 seed, Isaiah Salazar of Minnesota. The first period was relatively uneventful, with both wrestlers jockeying for position consistently. No one came too close to a takedown, so the match entered the second period tied 0-0. Shumate began the second period in the bottom position and seemed to work the position to his advantage for half the period. He couldn't complete the reversal or escape before a stalemate was called. Still on bottom, he quickly flipped things to his advantage for one of the best pins of the first round. It was Ohio State's second pin of the day, as at 133 lbs Nic Bouzakis needed barely two minutes to lock a cradle on N.C. State's Kai Orine, earning himself a victory and some all-important bonus points for the Buckeyes squad. In the second round in Thursday's evening session (at about 8:30 PM Eastern), Shumate will face No. 26 seed Brock Zuwarski of Rider. Zuwarski himself pulled off the second-biggest upset of the entire tournament so far, taking down No. 7 seed Wyatt Voelker of Northern Iowa. Shumate will likely be favored in the match, meaning a quarterfinal berth and one win away from All-American status. As a team, Ohio State had six wrestlers reach the second round, earning 11.5 team points for fourth place overall. Penn State is out to a large early lead and is a prohibitive favorite for the team title.

Trump picks first-term loyalists for top Justice Department posts
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump intends to nominate advisers from his first term to top Justice Department posts, including John Eisenberg to lead the national security division and Brett Shumate for the civil division, the department said on Wednesday. Shumate is already acting head of the civil division and managing the department's defense of the administration against a slew of lawsuits over federal worker firings, the dismantling of federal agencies and the attempts by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency to access sensitive data. Shumate, who was a partner in the Jones Day law firm that has longstanding ties to Trump, unsuccessfully defended the Republican president's executive order curtailing the right to automatic birthright citizenship in the United States, which a federal judge last month ruled was "blatantly unconstitutional." See for yourself — The Yodel is the go-to source for daily news, entertainment and feel-good stories. By signing up, you agree to our Terms and Privacy Policy. He was a deputy assistant attorney general in the Civil Division's Federal Programs Branch during Trump's first term from 2017-2021. Eisenberg was legal adviser to the National Security Council during Trump's first White House term, as well as an assistant to the president and deputy counsel to the president for National Security Affairs. He also held senior positions in the Justice Department including a deputy assistant attorney general in the Office of Legal Counsel. Eisenberg clerked for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, a member of the high court's conservative majority. Patrick Davis will be nominated to lead the Office of Legislative Affairs, the department said in a statement, in what would be his third stint there. During Trump's first term, he served as deputy associate attorney general. All three posts require confirmation by the U.S. Senate. The announcement comes a day after Trump said he has instructed the Justice Department to terminate all remaining U.S. attorneys from the previous administration of Democrat Joe Biden, asserting without evidence that the department had been "politicized like never before."
