An undergraduate student was startled after a finely carved ancient head rolled out during a recent excavation and seemed to smile back at her.The discovery, made at Skaill Farm on the Scottish island of Rousay, was announced by the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) Archaeology Institute on July 24. The site is part of a long-term research project of the institute.Student Katie Joss was working along a trench wall when the head "stared back" at her, according to the university.MUSEUM UNVEILS 1,300-YEAR-OLD MONK DOODLES REVEALING SURPRISING COMPLAINTS ABOUT HANGOVERS AND WEATHERPictures from the dig show the head with curly hair and a slight smile, unfazed by its missing nose.In a statement, UHI archaeology lecturer Sarah Jane Gibbon called the discovery "such an exciting find.""The carved head is of rich, red sandstone, with yellow inclusions, that was likely quarried from the island of Eday and is the same as the molded fragments from the nearby St. Marys old parish church," the expert noted.The exact age and use of the head remains a mystery, though Gibbon said that its presence suggests that there was once a "building of some splendor" in the area.Dan Lee, an archaeologist and researcher at UHI Orkney, told Fox News Digital the find was "very unusual."MYSTERIOUS 'DUMPED' BODIES OF WOMAN AND CHILD FOUND BY ARCHAEOLOGISTS IN PICTURESQUE TOWN"We dont know of any other examples in Orkney," he said. "Its something you would expect to find at an ecclesiastical site, not a farm."Lee believes the head came from St. Marys Kirk and is medieval in nature.If true, the artifact shows that the church was likely "very finely built and of high status.""You wouldnt expect this kind of high-quality carving on a farm, and we havent found any red sandstone built into the main walls of the farm buildings," said Lee.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERThe head is also very well-preserved, suggesting that it had been sheltered indoors."It doesnt appear to have been damaged, apart from the broken nose tip, but this may have occurred before it was deposited in a later rubble layer," the archaeologist observed."Stone preserves well in the ground, so its not surprising it has survived well. You can see the individual chisel marks where it was carved."Lee added that the head is one of many finely carved red sandstone artifacts at Skaill, such as a column capital but it's still a first of its kind.For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyle"But we havent had anything resembling the human form, so this is unique!" he emphasized.Scotland has a long history of human settlement, and the Skaill discovery is just one of many new finds.On Sanday, another one of the Orkney Islands, a warship connected to the American Revolution was uncovered on a beach by a schoolboy.A prehistoric village was also recently discovered near Inverness, Scotland, at the site of a future golf course.

The weapons that Minneapolis church shooter Robin Westman used to kill two Catholic school studentsand injure 17 otherswere "lawfully purchased," the citys police chief revealed.Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O'Hara identified the 23-year-old as the "coward" who opened fire Wednesday during a mass welcoming students to the first week of classes at the Annunciation Catholic School."As to the weapons used to perpetrate this horrific attack, there was a rifle, a shotgun and a pistol. All three had been lawfully purchased by the shooter," OHara said. "At this stage, we believe that the shooter had acted alone. There is no indication of other suspects directly involved in carrying out this attack."When asked by a reporter about where Westman obtained the weapons, OHara only said "I can tell you they were purchased recently."WHO IS ROBIN WESTMAN, SUSPECT IN ANNUNCIATION CATHOLIC SCHOOL SHOOTING IN MINNEAPOLIS?"Our investigators are working with other agencies in the process of executing four search warrants," OHara added Wednesday afternoon. "One is for the church itself where this crime occurred. The other three are residences nearby in the metro that are related to this shooter. Additional firearms are being recovered from those three residential locations as we speak.Earlier in the day, OHara said "During the Mass, a gunman approached on the outside on the side of the building and began firing a rifle through the church windows towards the children sitting in the pews at the Mass. MAN NAMED IN MINNEAPOLIS MASS SHOOTERS DISTURBING VIDEO SPEAKS OUT"Shooting through the windows, he struck children and worshipers that were inside the building," OHara also said, describing the mass shooting as a "deliberate act of violence against innocent children and other people worshiping."The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said Wednesday it completed a tracing of firearms found at the shooting scene."ATF completed the urgent traces of the recovered firearms and has provided that information to all investigative partners involved in the shooting at Annunciation Church this morning," the agencys St. Paul office wrote on X. "This information is for investigative partners only and will not be released to the public."

As the summer days wind down, travelers are still hitting the beaches to take dips in the ocean.Those in the Northeast may face a greater risk of shark attacks as new data shows an increase in great white sightings.The Oqunquit Fire Department (OFD) in Maine shared a shark advisory last week on its Facebook page.BEACHES WITH MOST SHARK ATTACKS AS AMERICANS PAY TRIBUTE TO 'JAWS' AND ACTIVIST WEIGHS IN"A credible sighting of a 68-foot great white shark was reported approximately 200 yards off Little Beach near the mouth of the river," OFD wrote.Officials put up a yellow flag on Aug. 19 to caution beachgoers and remind people to "follow posted advisories."A great white shark was recently spotted at the beginning of this month by a drone showing the shark swimming in water near Scarborough, Maine.About 93 great white sharks have been detected in Maine since late August 2020, according to the Maine Department of Marine Resources.In July, the largest great white shark in the Atlantic was recorded near Nantucket, Massachusetts, stretching nearly 14 feet in length, Fox News Digital previously reported.

When Philadelphia Eagles cornerback Cooper DeJean reflects on his rookie season, he can't help but smile.DeJean's journey through his rookie campaign wasn't immediately successful. Trials and tribulations come in all shapes and sizes in the NFL, and DeJean told Fox News Digital that the biggest lesson he learned that he will be taking into 2025 and beyond stems from the uncertainty of it all.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"Every weeks going to be different because its such a long season and theres so many injuries," DeJean explained, while also discussing his partnership with Casey's, his favorite convenience he grew up going to. "The offense might be down a couple guys one week, so the defense is going to have to step up."The defense might be down [some players], so the offense is going to have to step up. Just how different it can be from week to week and having to play with new guys on the defense. I think thats what Ive learned."DeJean's journey began with a second-round draft pick by the Eagles, but his start in training camp wasn't the best as he got hurt early on. Once healthy, DeJean played mainly special teams until Week 6 rolled around.He got his first start and showed the league what he was all about, tallying six combined tackles and one quarterback hit, while also providing some yards in the punt return game.DeJean quickly cemented himself as someone head coach Nick Sirianni and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio could rely on alongside fellow rookie cornerback Quinyon Mitchell. DeJean was locked in opposite Mitchell throughout the Eagles' Super-Bowl winning season and that game in New Orleans against the Kansas City Chiefs saw DeJean make a major impact.His first career interception was a 38-yard pick-six off Patrick Mahomes."I think the journey that was is crazy. It ended up in a Super Bowl win, and the play I had was even crazier. So, its been a whirlwind the past year, but Im excited for what this years going to bring."He may only be in his second year, but DeJean's confidence beams as he looks ahead to 2025. He wants to be a leader in his cornerbacks room alongside Mitchell, and given Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown and other veterans provide that locker room leadership, he knows he has the persona to be the same for his group."Me and Q had that experience last year being in there and its huge for us," he said. "A confidence booster for us to be leaders in our room and take that next step. Its been a fun growing and learning process to try and take that next step in being a leader."OFFICIAL PIZZA OF NOON KICKOFFSWhile DeJean is focused on Eagles football next week, as they kick off against the Dallas Cowboys to begin the 2025 NFL regular season, he's also excited to watch his Iowa Hawkeyes.And this year for college gamedays, DeJean couldn't think of a better jumpstart to the day then heading over to Casey's to grab his favorite breakfast pizza. For 25 years, breakfast pizza has been the ultimate cult favorite at Caseys, which DeJean indulged in a lot growing up in Iowa."Caseys is all over the Midwest," he said. "Its something I started my day off with when I was in high school, getting a slice of breakfast pizza before the school day to keep you energized and ready to go. Its the MVP of tailgates this season, especially when you have those noon kickoffs."Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

The first Saturday of the 2025 college football season kicks off with No. 1 Texas heading to No. 3 Ohio State in a matchup that will have all eyes watching, especially on the Longhorns sideline.Arch Manning, the nephew of Super Bowl champions Peyton and Eli Manning, has been highly publicized this offseason as Texas offense will now run through him. The redshirt sophomore carries lofty expectations, but one former Longhorn believes hes built for the moment.Bijan Robinson, the Atlanta Falcons star running back, knows what it takes to succeed at Texas, and hes confident that Manning understands exactly what must be done this Saturday and every week afterward to achieve the ultimate goal of a national title.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"His family, man, hes been around it his entire life," Robinson told Fox News Digital while promoting College Colors Day, which falls on Aug. 29. "So, this moment right here isnt too big for him."Manning grew up watching his uncles grind through the trials of the NFL seeing them fail in tough moments but also rise to win the Vince Lombardi Trophy.TEXAS' ARCH MANNING EXUDES CONFIDENCE AHEAD OF HIGHLY ANTICIPATED SHOWDOWN WITH OHIO STATEPeyton said earlier this offseason on "The Pat McAfee Show" that his father, Cooper Manning, prepared Arch to reach this stage in his football journey. As an uncle, Peyton said hes merely acted as a guide when needed."I feel like theres no moment thats too big when you play at Texas," Robinson said. "The outside world can make it huge, but when were there and on the field, God gave us all a gift to go out there and just produce and have fun doing it."So, with [Manning], Im excited to see what he can do because his confidence is huge and hes been around the game for so long. Hes been around Super Bowls with his uncles and stuff like that, man. This game wont affect him at all, and I think hes prepared for it and everyone around him is prepared for it."Playing in "The Horseshoe" in Columbus, Ohio, can be a daunting task, but Robinson is confident there will be plenty of Longhorns burnt orange in the stands."Lucky for us playing at Texas, theres going to be a lot of Texas fans at that game," Robinson said with a smile. "Youre going to see a lot of burnt orange. Its pretty incredible that we travel so well. Were the most hated team when we show up in the stadium. It doesnt matter who were playing, theyre going to find a way to hate us. But our fans travel extremely well. There are some games where well have more Texas fans than the home team, which is pretty special."These days, Robinson looks out to a sea of red and black when he takes the field in Atlanta. But this weekend, hell be repping his old college colors something hes encouraging all fans to do this Friday.Developed by collegiate brand licensing leader CLC, Aug. 29 marks College Colors Day, a nationwide call for fans to "Flip the Switch" and show support for their favorite college football team."For everybody thats a fan, I feel like its really important to wear your colors and represent your school," Robinson said.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X, and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

New York Mets pitcher Nolan McLean has been a bright spot in the teams resurgence over the last few weeks and made history on Wednesday night against the Philadelphia Phillies.McLean lasted eight innings and struck out six in the 6-0 win over the Phillies, inching New York to within four games of the National League East division lead. With the gem of an outing, he accomplished something neither Tom Seaver, Dwight Gooden, Jacob deGrom nor anyone else in the blue and orange had ever done win his first three MLB starts.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"Hes a stud, man," Mets infielder Mark Vientos said after the game. "Its so fun to be a part of what he does on day-to-day basis."He started the first game of his MLB career on Aug. 16 against the Seattle Mariners. He struck out eight and allowed only two hits in the Mets 3-1 win. Last week, he went seven innings against the Atlanta Braves, allowing two runs on four hits in the Mets 12-7 win.The start against Philadelphia on Wednesday was as impressive given the amped-up pressure the organization has on itself going into the final month of the season.PHILLIES' JESUS LUZARDO RECEIVES EJECTION AS HE CALLS OUT UMPIRE ON HIS WAY TO DUGOUT"All I can say is wow," Mets manager Carlos Mendoza said. "Its just everything about the kid not only what were seeing on the mound, just the way he carries himself. Hes got electric stuff, but hes got pitchability. He knows what hes doing on the mound. He knows how to manipulate the baseball. He knows what hitters are trying to do. Hes not afraid to use all his pitches."The Mets have gone 8-3 since McLean won his first start. McLean lowered his ERA to 0.89 the lowest in team history for a rookie in his first three starts. Seaver held the mark previously with a 1.19 ERA over his first three starts in 1967."Ive always been a believer in my stuff. Im a confident guy," McLean said. "Obviously, the hitters here are the best in the world and I know that. But I also know I have good stuff. And if I go out there and execute, I can get a lot of guys out as well."The Associated Press contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

Zohran Mamdani, a 33-year-old democratic socialist, shocked the establishment when he trounced Andrew Cuomo in the primary. Mamdani didnt hide his ideology. He put rent freezes, free buses, free groceries and universal childcare front and center.He knocked on doors in multiple languages, energized young voters and leaned into a fiery brand of politics that spoke directlytoactivist communities. Letsbeclear. Hell crush the soul ofNewYork City if he wins, but hes got the right playbooktowin right now.Meanwhile, Cuomo is tryingtorun as the experienced, level-headed Democratic centrist. The result? Hes getting steamrolled. Mamdanis campaign has raised over $4.4 million, drawing grassroots and union support. Cuomo, stuck in the middle lane, can barely generate enthusiasm. Intodays environment, passion and clarity win. Neutrality gets you nowhere.Even Eric Adams, the current mayor and a self-styled moderate, is learning this the hard way. Hes triedtoposition himself as the sensible law-and-order candidate. But instead of breaking through, he finds himself lobbing desperate shots at Mamdani going so far astoquestion his religious values in public.I MADE MEMES FOR THE WHITE HOUSE.

GLP-1 weight loss and diabetes drugs, like Ozempic and Wegovy, have been shown to reduce the symptoms of a painful skin condition.Hidradenitis suppurativa, also known as acne inversa, is a condition that causes small, painful lumps to develop under the skin, according to Mayo Clinic.These lumps typically develop in areas of the body where the skin rubs together, and can be recurrent.POPULAR WEIGHT-LOSS MEDICATION COULD RELIEVE PAINFUL ARTHRITIS SYMPTOMS, DOCTORS REPORTHidradenitis suppurativa tends to start after puberty and before age 40, persisting for many years and potentially worsening over time, according to Mayo Clinic. Women are three times more likely to develop the condition.Medical and surgical therapy can help manage the condition and prevent complications.A new study, published in the journal JAMA Dermatology, analyzed how GLP-1 medication could impact this skin condition.The French researchers noted that hidradenitis suppurativa is typically associated with overweight and obesity, affecting 50% of those patients.WHO SHOULD BE TAKING WEIGHT-LOSS DRUGS? DOCTORS SHARE BEST CANDIDATESThe experts noted that weight loss, whether through diet or obesity surgery, has a "beneficial effect" on the skin condition for most patients.As GLP-1s have demonstrated "major efficacy" in weight loss, the researchers hypothesized that the medications could also have anti-inflammatory properties that may help with skin symptoms.The study evaluated 66 patients with hidradenitis suppurativa who were taking a GLP-1 drug, following up at an average of 18.5 months later.Nearly 90% of the study participants had diabetes, and their average BMI was 39.4. Treatment for the skin condition was initiated for 53% of the patients.IS OZEMPIC RUINING YOUR TEETH? WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT IMPACT ON DENTAL HEALTHAfter six months, 54% of patients had a reduction in symptoms.By the last consultation, 67% of the participants reported reductions and 60% had decreased pain.Dr. Brendan Camp, a dermatologist in New York, reacted to these study findings with "cautious optimism.""It is impressive that, over a median of 18.5 months of follow-up, GLP-1 receptor agonists led to significant reductions in HS severity, flares and pain in patients, most of whom were obese and had diabetes," he said in an interview with Fox News Digital.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERCamp confirmed how GLP-1-aided weight loss can reduce "mechanical friction" and "adipose-driven inflammation in susceptible areas" where skin conditions can occur.GLP-1s also appear to have anti-inflammatory effects, which could potentially enhance skin healing and reduce the frequency of inflammatory skin disease flares, he said.Camp pointed out that while the study represents a "promising therapeutic signal," its retrospective design "limits causal conclusions.""Solid confirmation via randomized clinical trials is critically needed," he said.Additionally, most participants in the study were obese and diabetic, which means the results may not be applicable to all patients with hidradenitis suppurativa."Future randomized trials are required to determine who will benefit most and to establish safety and effectiveness in the wider HS population," Camp said.The dermatologist does not currently recommend GLP-1s solely for hidradenitis suppurativa or other skin conditions."Patients with HS should know that while these findings are hopeful showing improvements in severity, flare frequency, pain and quality of life over months of treatment GLP-1 therapies remain investigational for HS and are not an approved indication," he noted.For more Health articles, visitfoxnews.com/healthThose who qualify for GLP-1 treatment for diabetes or obesity, however, may find that these drugs offer the "added potential benefit of HS symptom improvement.""Off-label initiation without a clear indication should be approached with caution weighing cost, side effects and lack of definitive trial evidence and only under the guidance of both a dermatologist and prescribing provider," Camp added.

Washington, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser initially expressed fear of President Donald Trumps plan to crack down on crime in the nations capital, but its clear success made her change her mind.After Trump announced his plans to deploy National Guard troops and assume oversight of the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) to tackle rising crime in Washington, D.C., Bowser warned such a crackdown would be "unsettling and unprecedented."However, the mayor admitted at a press conference on Wednesday that the federal surge has made a noticeable impact on one of America's most famously dangerous cities.At the briefing, Bowser displayed a chart crediting the influx of FBI, DEA, ATF, U.S. Park Police and Capitol Police with bolstering MPDs efforts and declared, "We greatly appreciate the surge of officers that enhance what MPD has been able to do in this city."BLUE CITIES IN TRUMPS CROSSHAIRS AFTER DC POLICE TAKEOVERShe pointed to one dramatic example, saying, "For carjackings, the difference between this period, this 20-day period of this federal surge and last year represents an 87% reduction in carjackings in Washington, D.C. We know that when carjackings go down, when use of gun goes down, when homicide or robbery go down, neighborhoods feel safer and are safer. So, this surge has been important to us for that reason."Bowser offered further examples of Trumps new surge driving results."This is what we think in just a couple of weeks of experience has worked," she said. "Having more federal law enforcement officers on the street we think having more stops that got to illegal guns has helped. We think that there is more accountability in the system, or at least perceived accountability in the system, that is driving down illegal behavior. We know that we have had fewer gun crimes, fewer homicides, and we have experienced an extreme reduction in carjackings."CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREBowser also cautioned that not every tactic has been successful, citing "a break in trust between police and community, especially with new federal partners in our community."She criticized the use of masked ICE agents in neighborhoods and said relying on out-of-state National Guard troops was inefficient. The mayor added the city still needs more local police officers, prosecutors, judges and prevention programs while maintaining local control.When later prompted by a reporter, Bowser argued that Trump seizing greater control of Union Station would be a "good thing.""The Union Station is owned by the Department of Transportation and it will be a good thing because that station has suffered from needing, some say $12 billion, but lets call it at least $8 billion worth of investment in the renovation. And that is not something that the district will be able to support," she said. "It is an important regional asset, it is an important asset for the Eastern Seaboard. Its an important asset for the nation. So, it is appropriate, in my view, for the federal government to make the necessary investments in the transformation of Union Station."
