Officials Set Bizarre Speed Limit for Genius Reason

Drivers in Outagamie County are being told to slow down—with a number that’s hard to ignore. The county’s recycling and solid waste commission in Appleton, Wisconsin, unveiled a new road sign setting the speed limit at a bizarrely precise 17.3 mph, according to the department’s Facebook post. Officials say the hyper-specific number is designed to snap drivers out of autopilot. “Why 17.3? Because it makes you pause. It makes you look twice,” the county wrote, adding that the goal is to force drivers to pay attention on a road heavily used by haulers, contractors, and residents. “Staying alert is key to keeping everyone safe,” the post continued, pitching the sign as a nudge to “slow down, stay aware, and look out for one another.” The quirky tactic comes as traditional methods fall flat. A 2024 study by Minnesota state and local transportation agencies found that simply lowering speed limits does little to curb speeding—prompting officials to try more creative ways to grab drivers’ attention.

Country music singer Keith Urban’s 17-year-old daughter, Sunday Rose, has unfollowed him on Instagram amid fallout over her dad’s divorce from her mom, Nicole Kidman. Urban and Kidman, both 58, split last year after a 19-year marriage. They share two children, Faith Margaret, 15, and Sunday Rose, who has cut ties with Urban on social media. This comes after reporting that both teenagers were refusing to meet their father’s reported new girlfriend, Karley Scott Collins, who opened for the singer on his 2025 tour. A source told the Daily Mail that Sunday Rose’s decision to ice Urban out is rooted in loyalty to Kidman, the Australian actress known for starring roles in Big Little Lies and Moulin Rouge! Another source told the tabloid that Urban is “trying to balance his own life with his daughters’ needs.” He is reportedly in Nashville working on a new album. The announcement that Urban and Kidman were splitting came as a shock to many who had seen their relationship as particularly durable. Kidman was married to Tom Cruise from 1990 until 2001, with the couple adopting two children, Isabella, now 33, and Connor, 31.

A good pair of work boots is invaluable. However, most feel like they were designed by people who’ve never spent eight hours on a job site. Red Wing Shoes is aiming to change that with its new IronFlex boot line, built from the ground up based on the data of three million workers.

The new line wasn’t designed by a committee. Red Wing took a more proactive approach. First, it leveraged state-of-the-art scanning technology to study exactly how workers walked and where pressure points built up.

6-Inch Waterproof BOA® Safety Toe Boot

All styles are ASTM-rated and available with slip resistance and electrical hazard protection.

Next, Red Wing spoke to the workers themselves, asking how they prefer their boots to fit and feel. The result was a premium work boot with every feature informed by the people who wear them the most.

In fact, the worker-first philosophy shows up in every detail of the boots. The slip-resistant outsole keeps your feet sure-footed on ladders. A high-rebound EVA midsole delivers all-day comfort. The boot’s welted heel provides extra stability on uneven terrain. The roomy cemented forefoot is constructed to bend and flex with you. On rainy days, the IronFlex’s three layers of a moisture-deterrent lining, cushioning foam, and waterproof barrier keep feet dry.

The widow of two victims of the OceanGate Titan submersible implosion is revealing the grim reality of what came after. Christine Dawood told The Guardian she waited nine months to receive the remains of her husband, Shahzada Dawood, 48, and their 19-year-old son, Suleman Dawood. “When I say bodies, I mean the slush that was left,” she said. “They came in two small boxes, like shoeboxes.” The U.S. Coast Guard recovered what it could after the Titan submersible imploded in June 2023 during a dive to the Titanic wreck. Dawood said officials warned “there wasn’t much they could find,” with some remains too mixed to separate by DNA—prompting her to accept only what could be definitively identified as her husband and son. After learning the implosion likely killed all five passengers instantly, she said her first reaction was relief. “Thank God… Knowing they didn’t suffer has been so important.” Nearly three years after the tragedy, Dawood said she still struggles with panic attacks and has left her son’s bedroom and husbands study untouched. Looking forward, Dawood says she plans to open a grief and trauma center in their memory.

Controversial pop star Chris Brown, 37, has welcomed his fourth child, his first with influencer Jada Wallace. Wallace, 26, posted black and white photos of her baby bump along with an image of their newborn in a Sunday Instagram post captioned “Purest love💛.” “CONGRATULATIONS!!! HES JUST PERFECT! SENDING LOVE ALWAYS!!” Brown’s mother, Joyce Hawkins, commented below the announcement, revealing that the newest addition to the family is a boy. Brown commented, “❤️ Taurus ♉️ GANG❤️,” hinting that his son was born after April 20. Chris Brown has three other children with previous partners: an 11-year-old daughter with Nia Guzman, a six-year-old son with Ammika Harris, and a four-year-old daughter with Diamond Brown. “It’s actually great. It’s very humbling. It’s very calming. I think I was a lot rambunctious, very hyper as a kid,” the hot-headed singer has previously said about being a father in an interview with Ryan Seacrest.

When it comes to “anti-aging” skincare, retinoids (vitamin A derivatives like retinol and retinyl palmitate) and antioxidants such as vitamin C and niacinamide have long reigned as the gold standard, backed by decades of clinical research. But for concerns like laxity and sagging, growth factors are quickly emerging as the next frontier in firming and “lifting” skincare.

Of course, no topical can rival in-office treatments like radiofrequency, dermal fillers, and lasers (or surgical options like a facelift), but consider growth factors your next best line of defense. Enter PCA Skin’s Pro-Max Age Renewal Serum, a clinically backed formula designed to target loss of firmness (including jowling) and volume in as little as one week. In addition to softening fine lines, the serum helps reinforce the skin barrier and deliver lasting hydration.

According to the brand, the concentrated serum can lift sagging skin by up to 60 percent while reducing the appearance of coarse lines and wrinkles by up to 40 percent. One of the best parts of the serum is that it doesn’t cause irritation, dryness, or barrier disruption, often associated with other common anti-aging actives like retinoids, antioxidants, and exfoliants.

PCA Skin credits its patent-pending Micro Growth Factor Technology (MGF) for the serum’s impressive, fast-acting results. MGF is formulated to penetrate up to 10 times deeper than traditional growth factors, which tend to sit on the skin’s surface and therefore, don’t work their magic to the full potential. PCA Skin’s proprietary complex, on the other hand, works within the dermis to support collagen production and fibroblast activity. The formula is also bolstered by firming biopolymers and kangaroo paw extract, which helps smooth the look of lines—and fast. PCA Skin’s Pro-Max Age Renewal Serum is a high-tech shortcut to firmer, smoother, more resilient skin sans the downtime.

Shannon Elizabeth, the actress who appeared in the popular American Pie film franchise, reportedly made more than $1 million on OnlyFans in just a week. Elizabeth, 52, said joining the platform—which is most often used to share adult content behind a paywall—is about reclaiming ownership of her brand. “I’ve spent my entire career working in Hollywood, where other people controlled the narrative and the outcome of my career. This new chapter is about changing that, showing off a more sexy side no one has seen, and being closer to my fans‚” she said, adding that she joined OnlyFans because it allows her to connect with her followers and “just be free.” A source familiar with the matter told Page Six that Elizabeth had made more than half of her money on the content-sharing space from direct messages to OnlyFans users. A source also says the actress will put some of her profits towards her charity, the Shannon Elizabeth Foundation, which supports animal welfare and conservation efforts. In addition to the American Pie movies, Elizabeth also appeared in the 2000 hit Scary Movie as well as a host of other films and TV shows. Earlier this month, she quietly filed for divorce from her husband, Simon Borchert, after five years of marriage.

Channing Tatum posted a series of cryptic messages following reports of his ex, Zoe Kravitz’s, engagement to pop star Harry Styles. The Magic Mike star, who was engaged to Kravitz for a year before their split in 2024, shared a poem by John Roedel on his Instagram story about a past relationship while the song “Faith’s Hymn” played in the background. “My brain and / heart divorced / a decade ago / over who was / to blame about / how big of a mess / I have become,” the poem read. On Tuesday, his story posts continued with a repost of a video featuring a bruised female fighter who said, “Didn’t go the way I wanted. I enjoyed the whole process… I’m still happy that I went all five rounds. I’m feeling amazing. Just so happy to be here.” Styles and Kravitz are engaged after eight months of dating, according to reports by Page Six. Kravitz was previously engaged to Tatum and was married to actor Karl Glusman prior to their divorce in 2020. Tatum was married to Jenna Dewan for nine years before his relationship with Kravitz.

The most magical place on Earth has begun rolling out facial recognition technology at its park entrances. Disneyland will now use biometric screening to verify tickets and reduce fraud. Under the system, guests’ faces are scanned and converted into numerical data that is matched against ticket or annual pass photos, allowing the system to confirm identity and validate entry. That means many visitors will be able to walk through without ever pulling out a phone or paper pass. Disney says participation is optional and that biometric data is deleted within 30 days unless needed for fraud prevention or legal purposes. Privacy advocates warn that the normalization of facial recognition in everyday spaces raises concerns about surveillance, data security, and potential misuse by companies or law enforcement. “If you collect this type of data, you have put a target on your back for people to steal it,” Adam Schwartz, privacy litigation director at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, said. Disneyland fan John LeSchofs, 73, was less worried. “Pretty much every other place is doing the same thing,” he told the L.A. Times.

A tourist in his 20s has died after being swept off rocks at a popular vacation spot in Western Australia. The man, who was visiting from Southeast Asia, was pulled into the ocean by strong tides at the Injidup Natural Spa, according to Australian Broadcasting Corporation. After emergency crews recovered his body via jet ski, WA Police Force Superintendent Andy Elliot told the outlet that responders attempted life-saving measures but found him unresponsive, noting he had “limited swimming abilities.” Police confirmed a report will be prepared by the coroner and that the death is not being treated as suspicious. Elliott also urged visitors to heed warning signs posted along the rocks, which are known for dangerous conditions and unpredictable swells. The site has a history of deadly incidents. In 2020, a 23-year-old woman died after being swept off the same rocks, while in 2016, a 25-year-old man—identified by 9News as Matthias Bache—disappeared after jumping into the ocean and was never found.

A murder conviction has been thrown out but only after the accused spent 25 years behind bars. Harry Ruiz’s conviction has been vacated after he served a quarter of a century for the Harlem shooting of Emmanuel Felix, as a judge said prosecutors may have withheld evidence. “I feel like I can finally breathe again,” Ruiz said on Monday, according to ABC News. The 58-year-old was just 25 when he was convicted of second-degree murder for the 1993 shooting and was paroled in 2019. An inquiry opened two years ago after New York City detective Carlos Vasquez became convinced of Ruiz’s innocence, and found payments and housing worth $17,000 to the mom of a 13-year-old girl, who was the only witness. No evidence was found that the payments were disclosed to the defense. Judge Robert Mandelbaum said it was “troubling” that the former assistant district attorney Helen Sturm refused to take part in the reinvestigation. “What do you want me to say? That I feel badly that he was convicted?” Sturm said to ABC. “You don’t get a long sentence like this without evidence,” she said, adding she was confident relevant laws were followed. “Harry Ruiz spent 25 years in prison for a crime he did not commit,” said NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch.

Emmy-nominated actor Sam Neill, 78, has given a dramatic update on his cancer battle. The Jurassic Park star told Australian network 7NEWS that he had been “living with a particular type of lymphoma for about five years” when his chemotherapy treatment stopped working. Now, thanks to an alternative treatment to chemo, he is “cancer-free.” “I was at a loss, and it looked like I was on the way out,” the New Zealander said, “Which wasn’t ideal, obviously.” Neill said he then received CAR T-cell therapy, which the CDC says is used “when standard cancer treatments have failed or cancer has relapsed,” and is currently undergoing clinical trials in Australia. “I’ve had a scan just now, and there is no cancer in my body. This is an extraordinary thing,” Neill, who plays Inspector Campbell in the Netflix and BBC hit Peaky Blinders, added. The CDC explains that in CAR T-cell therapy, “a type of immune system cell called a T-cell is taken from a patient’s blood and altered in the laboratory so it will attack cancer cells.”
