Keep the handle above the top strap so that the thicker portion of the pole catches on top of the loop. Unless you carry the backpack upside down, this will keep your trekking pole from falling out.

Look at the underside of your nails to see where your real nail meets the nail extension. Watch out for your cuticles when you’re filing so that you don’t damage them. Avoid going over the same spot on your nail with the file more than a few times—you don’t want to file straight through to your natural nail.

As is true with many multi-dose immunizations, the first dose of these vaccines will help prime the immune system to create a response against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. Subsequent shots will help boost that immune response. On Thursday, a panel of experts recommended that the FDA approve a vaccine developed by Pfizer/BioNTech....

Then, the video sees the child plant the sapling and watch it grow into a tree as she grows old.
