At a time when America is wrestling with declining church attendance, a surprising reversal has pastors and researchers talking about the possibility of a new revival.Gen Z has been known as the "least religious generation," but new numbers show young men are bucking the trend.A recent Barna Group study suggests that church attendance has increased among Gen Z and Millennial men, showing signs of a return to church that surpasses older generations.Gen Z men are attending slightly more often than Millennial men, marking a generational reversal.GEN Z EMBRACES THE BIBLE IN UNEXPECTED GLOBAL SPIRITUAL AWAKENINGBarna Groups vice president of research, Daniel Copeland, said that most adults attend church around two out of every five weekends, but Gen Z is reversing the flow."This data represents good news for church leaders and adds to the picture that spiritual renewal is shaping Gen Z and Millennials today," Copeland said."Gen Z males are becoming fed up with a virtual world run by algorithms and dating apps and are seeking something real," said Dr. Cory Marsh, professor of New Testament at Southern California Seminary. "Churches should respond to the current trend by modeling grace and truth, without elevating one above the other."GEN Z'ERS IDENTIFYING AS LIBERAL DROPS 12 POINTS SINCE 2016, ACCORDING TO MORNING CONSULT JUNE REPORTThere is a gender split. A 2024 report shows that young women are leaving church at significantly higher rates. The data show that 61% of women identify as feminist and are suspicious of any institution that upholds traditional social norms, according to the Survey Center on American Life.Corey Miller, PhD, president and CEO of Ratio Christi, said the contrast is largely tied to radicalized ideologies taught at universities."As go the universities, so goes the culture," Miller explained.Dr. Douglas Groothuis, a professor of apologetics and Christian worldview at Cornerstone University, said churches must preach the message of the Bible in a loving manner as part of its core mission.BLUE-CITY PASTOR SEES SIGNS OF REVIVAL AFTER TENS OF THOUSANDS ATTEND CHRISTIAN CRUSADE"The answer for the church is not to adopt its message to the times, but to preach and teach and defend the truth of the Bible in a strong, but loving way," Groothuis said.Bible sales jumped 22% in 2024, compared to less than 1% growth for print books overall, according to Circana BookScan.CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD THE FOX NEWS APPData from the State of the Bible USA 2024 report show that more than 20% of Gen Z say they increased their Bible reading last year, another sign a new revival may already be underway.

The Trump administration is now offering teen migrants a $2,500 stipend to leave the United States voluntarily, according to several reports citing a letter sent Friday by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Refugee Resettlement to shelters housing migrant children.According to the letter seen by Reuters and other outlets, the department will provide a "one-time resettlement support stipend of $2,500" to unaccompanied children 14 or older.Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) did not confirm the monetary amount to Fox News Digital but said Unaccompanied Alien Children (UAC) could access financial support when returning home, should they choose that option.TRUMP ADMIN REPORTS 2 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS 'REMOVED OR SELF-DEPORTED' FROM US IN FIRST 8 MONTHS"Any payment to support a return home would be provided after an immigration judge grants the request and the individual arrives in their country of origin," Emily Covington, assistant director of ICEs Office of Public Affairs, said in a statement. She said the offer was first being made to 17-year-olds.Covington said that cartels had trafficked countless unaccompanied children into the United States during the Biden Administration, and that Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and HHS have been working diligently to ensure the safety and wellbeing of those children."Many of these UACs had no choice when they were dangerously smuggled into this country," she said. "ICE and the Office of Refugee and Resettlement at HHS are offering a strictly voluntary option to return home to their families."Minors from Mexico are not eligible for the program, but children who had already volunteered to leave the U.S. as of Friday would be covered, the letter reportedly says.The Associated Press reported that some immigration advocates had warned of a broader removal campaign they called "Freaky Friday."ICE rejected that claim, with Covington calling it "categorically false" and saying the phrase was fabricated to "instill fear and spread misinformation that drives the increased violence occurring against federal law enforcement."The move is part of President Donald Trumps campaign promise of carrying out the largest domestic deportation operation in American history.ICE DETAINERS IN TOP SANCTUARY CITY HAVE SKYROCKETED UNDER TRUMP COMPARED TO BIDEN'S 4-YEAR TERM: DHSLast month, DHS said that two million illegal immigrants "have beenremoved or have self-deported"from the United States since Jan. 20, putting the Trump administration on pace to break records.In less than 250 days, an estimated 1.6 million illegal immigrants voluntarily self-deported, while 400,000 were removed by federal law enforcement, the DHS said, describing the situation as a "new milestone."In May, Trump signed an executive order establishing the first-everself-deportation programthat incentivizes illegal migrants to voluntarily leave the country on a free flight and with a cash bonus.Homeland Security said that migrants were being offered a $1,000 stipend each to leave. The department said it is 70%cheaper for American taxpayers, as it currently costs DHS, on average, over $17,000 to arrest, detain and deport someone.In June, the State Department moved $250 million to DHS for voluntary deportations.Shaina Aber, the executive director of the Acacia Center for Justice, a nonprofit that provides legal defense to immigrants, said in a statement that the $2,500 stipend undermines due process and may expose children to renewed trafficking cycles.She said some of these children were trafficked into the U.S., often by cartels or smugglers, and if they are sent back without safeguards, they could fall back into the hands of the same traffickers."DHSs message is confusing and seems to fly in the face of established laws and protocols that Congress passed to protect children from cyclical trafficking risks," Aber said.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin said state Democratic attorney general candidate Jay Jones should abandon his campaign "in disgrace" after he once remarked on shooting a former Virginia House speaker in texts with another lawmaker.Texts obtained by Fox News Digital on Friday showed an August 2022 conversation involvingJones then a recently departed delegate from Norfolk andDelegate Carrie Coyner, R-Chester. At one point, Jones, referencing then-House Speaker Todd Gilbert, R-Shenandoah, wrote: "Three people, two bullets. Gilbert, Hitler and Pol Pot. Gilbert gets two bullets to the head.""This violent, disgusting rhetoric targeted at an elected official and his children is beyond disqualifying," Youngkin wrote in an X post Saturday. "Jay Jones said that Gilbert gets two bullets to the head and then hoped his children would die. Read those words again.""There is no gosh, Im sorry here. Jones doesnt have the morality or character to drop out of this race, and his running mates, Abigail Spanberger, Ghazala Hashmi, and every elected Democrat in Virginia dont have the courage to call on him to step away from this campaign in disgrace," he added.VIRGINIA AG FLAMES OPPONENT FOR SUPPORTING SEX-CHANGE ID LAW HE BLAMES FOR LATEST PEDOPHILE CASESA spokesperson for Coyner's campaign confirmed the veracity of the texts first reported by National Review, saying they were "disturbing and disqualifying for anyone who wants to seek public office.""Jay Jones wished violence on the children of a colleague and joked about shooting Todd Gilbert. It's disgusting and unbecoming of any public official," the spokesperson said.Jones is running against incumbent Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares, a Republican.The Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA) also called on Jones to "immediately withdraw" from the race following "his abhorrent text messages."AFTER DEATH THREAT, VIRGINIA LAWMAKER SAYS ABIGAIL SPANBERGER CANT ESCAPE RAGE REMARKS"There is no place for political violence, including joking about it especially from an elected official. Jay Jones should drop out of the Attorney Generals race. His comments are not acceptable from someone who wants to represent law enforcement," RAGA Chairman Kris Kobach said.In a statement released to the media, Jones said, "I take full responsibility for my actions, and I want to issue my deepest apology to Speaker Gilbert and his family." "Reading back those words made me sick to my stomach. I am embarrassed, ashamed, and sorry. I have reached out to Speaker Gilbert to apologize directly to him, his wife Jennifer, and their children. I cannot take back what I said; I can only take full accountability and offer my sincere apology," Jones continued."Virginians deserve honest leaders who admit when they are wrong and own up to their mistakes. This was a grave mistake, and I will work every day to prove to the people of Virginia that I will fight for them as Attorney General," he added.Fox News Digitals Danielle Wallace and Charles Creitz contributed to this report.

Mac Jones found himself in a spooky situation Thursday before helping the San Francisco 49ers to an overtime win.Jones got the start as Brock Purdy continues to deal with an injury, and the Niners earned a 26-23 win over the Los Angeles Rams on the road.But before heading to the stadium, Jones reportedly witnessed a dead body floating in the water outside the team's hotel in Marina del Rey, California.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"That morning at the team hotel in Marina del Rey, Jones told teammates he was on his balcony when he looked out at the water and saw a floating dead body," The Athletic reported. "Someone called the police. As the 49ers loaded buses for the stadium, players watched investigators and even a coroners van pull into the marina,"The Athletic added that the Los Angeles County Sheriffs Department said the incident was still under investigation Friday afternoon.Despite the scary sight, Jones clearly was unfazed. He finished 33-of-49 with 342 passing yards and two touchdown passes as his resurgence continued. He started the game with a touchdown pass to Jake Tonges and followed it up with a touchdown pass to Christian McCaffrey.ROBERT GRIFFIN III 'THANKFUL TO GOD' AFTER FAMILY GETS INTO 'WORST CAR ACCIDENT OF OUR LIVES'The 49ers moved up the field in the overtime period and got close enough for Eddy Pineiro to attempt a field goal. He hit the 41-yarder off the post and through the uprights with 5:51 to go in overtime.The Rams moved down the field, but they stuffed Kyren Williams on fourth-and-1 to preserve the victory.The Niners are now 4-1 and 3-0 in their division that again figures to go down to the wire after missing the playoffs last year.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

EXCLUSIVE The FBI says two men have been indicted in connection with an alleged money-laundering scheme tied to Venezuelan dictator Nicols Maduros children.The indictments come after a years-long investigation that dates back to 2019 when the FBIs Miami Field Office launched the probe based on indications that Arick Komarczyk opened U.S. bank accounts for Maduros children and their U.S.-based associates. Suspicious Activity Reports allegedly showed that Komarczyk received wire transfers from individuals and businesses in Venezuela, according to the FBI.An undercover operation in 2022 revealed that Komarczyk and his associate, Irazmar Carbajal, agreed to move $100,000 of what the FBI believed to be sanctioned money belonging to members of Venezuelas government. The FBI said the men moved about $25,000 into the U.S.The bureau noted that when confronted about the situation, Kormarczyk was not alarmed, rather he called it "sexy business."DOJ: TWO U.S. CITIZENS USED MINNESOTA AS BASE FOR OVERSEAS KIDNAPPINGS AND BOMBINGSFBI Director Kash Patel said money-laundering schemes linked to Maduro were "criminal lifelines" for his regime."Nicols Maduro is not just another corrupt strongman, he is an indicted narcoterrorist dictator with a $50 million bounty on his head from the United States Department of Justice," Patel said in an exclusive statement to Fox News Digital. "His regimes laundering schemes are nothing more than criminal lifelines for a failing dictatorship, and under my leadership, this FBI will continue to choke off every dollar, every account, and every enabler. America will never be a safe haven for Maduros blood money."On Sept. 25, both Kormarczyk and Carbajal were indicted in Florida. Kormarczyk was indicted on charges of money laundering and conspiracy to commit unlicensed money transmitting, while Carbajal was indicted for conspiracy to commit unlicensed money transmitting.Carbajal traveled from his home country of Uruguay to the Dominican Republic, but he was deported on Oct. 2. The deportation flight made a layover in the U.S., where Carbajal was arrested, the FBI said. Meanwhile, Komarczyk is believed to be living in Venezuela, according to the bureau.VENEZUELAN MILITARY JETS BUZZ US NAVY SHIP IN 'HIGHLY PROVOCATIVE' MOVE, PENTAGON SAYS"The Maduro regimes alleged efforts to attempt evasion and conduct money laundering in the United States through third-party individuals will not go unchecked," FBI Miami Special Agent in Charge Brett Skiles said in an exclusive statement to Fox News Digital."Komarczyk and Carbajals indictments should demonstrate the FBIs commitment to investigating alleged international money laundering involving [Office of Foreign Assets Control] sanctioned governments and individuals," Skiles added. "The United States and our financial institutions will never be a safe haven for international corruption and money laundering, particularly for those countries which pose significant risks to our national interests."The U.S. does not recognize Maduro as a legitimate leader and the Department of Justice has an active reward for information leading to his arrest and/or conviction.Patels remarks echoed the Trump administrations condemnation of the Maduro regime.In July, on the one-year anniversary of an election in which Maduro declared himself the winner, Secretary of State Marco Rubio issued a statement expressing solidarity with the people of Venezuela. He vowed the United States would continue working with its partners "to hold accountable the corrupt, criminal and illegitimate Maduro regime."

Kyren Lacy's attorney provided potential evidence in an attempt to prove the innocence of the late LSU star over charges he was facing before committing suicide in April.Lacy was under investigation in Louisiana in connection with a crash in December that left 78-year-old Herman Hall, a passenger, dead, officials said in January. He was accused of driving recklessly speeding and passing in a no-passing zone when the motorist swerved to avoid Lacy and crashed into another vehicle.However, in an interview with HTV10, Lacys attorney, Matthew Ory, provided video that appears to show Lacy's vehicle well behind the crash and that he was more than 200 feet away from the cars upon impact.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM"We know from data that Kyren Lacy did in fact pass four cars. Theres no disputing that. Further north, Kyren Lacy passed four cars," Ory began."However, he was back in his lane of travel, 92.3 yards back in his lane behind Mr. Hall. At the time of impact, hes 72.6 yards behind the vehicles at the time of impact. Key word: behind the vehicles. That is not how this story was ever painted. Never."Ory also provided data that showed another vehicle, "vehicle 2," tailgating the truck that crashed into the vehicle Hall was in, going nearly 50 mph just 0.5 seconds behind it and 1.5 seconds before the crash. Ory also provided bodycam footage of an officer talking to a man in that truck who claimed that the driver of vehicle 2 "caused" the crash, despite police telling the man to write down specifics regarding Lacy in his statement, which was ultimately refused.ROBERT GRIFFIN III 'THANKFUL TO GOD' AFTER FAMILY GETS INTO 'WORST CAR ACCIDENT OF OUR LIVES'Louisiana State Police released the following statement to Fox News Digital in response to Ory's evidence."Following the crash, LSP conducted a detailed investigation with the assistance of crash reconstruction experts and with all available information at the time. Investigative findings revealed that Mr. Lacys reckless driving while approaching oncoming traffic led to the events of the crash. The findings were presented to the 17th Judicial District Court, which approved an arrest warrant based on the evidence collected. As with all investigations leading to arrest, the subjects of the investigation are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law."No one disputes that he was behind the crash scene. His swerving, passing cars, and reckless operation caused the series of crash events."Rocky Arceneaux, Lacys agent, said in January that his client was cooperating with authorities in the investigation.Lacy transferred to LSU in 2022. He had his best season in 2024, when he recorded 58 catches for 866 yards and nine touchdowns.Fox News' Ryan Gaydos contributed to this report.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

U.S. ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz said he believes President Donald Trumps new Gaza peace plan could represent a "once-in-a-generation opportunity for Middle East peace."On Monday, Trump released his Gaza peace plan, which Israel agreed to. Despite U.S. criticism of the U.N.s actions in Gaza, the plan relies on the international bodys assistance. When asked how this would work, Waltz said that the U.S., while working with the U.N. in Gaza, will "continue to call it out" and will "demand reforms."In an interview with Fox News Digital, Waltz highlighted a key issue with the U.N.: aid delivery in Gaza. The U.N.s numbers show that nearly 90% of its aid trucks were intercepted by armed groups or crowds of hungry people between May 19 and Aug. 5. The U.S. has pointed to Hamas as the main culprit, saying operatives of the terrorist organization steal the aid to make money by selling it."We cant have a situation where U.N. agencies the U.S. pays for about a quarter of their costs are actually delivering aid in a way that Hamas takes it over. Hamas uses it to make money reselling it on the black market," Waltz told Fox News Digital.The U.S.- and Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which has been heavily criticized by the U.N., said on Friday that it had delivered more than 178 million meals since starting its operation in May.WALTZ CALLS UN MISHAPS DURING TRUMP SPEECH UNACCEPTABLE, VOWS FUNDING FREEZE UNTIL REFORMSWaltz hit the ground running after his appointment to the role on Sept. 19, just days before the international body held its "High-level Week." During that week, leaders from around the world, including Trump, addressed fellow member states in New York City.Trump has made it clear that his goal is to be a peacemaker, something Waltz emphasized during his sit-down with Fox News Digital. However, that doesnt mean he isnt bringing his own experience to the role."Green Berets are called warrior diplomats. We often have a big stick behind us," Waltz, who was the first Green Beret elected to Congress, told Fox News Digital.He compared this ethos to Trumps handling of Iran over the summer."He gave them opportunity after opportunity to walk away from a weaponized nuclear program, to handover their enriched materials, to engage in diplomacy and when they didnt, our amazing B-2s went and took it out," he said.WALTZ TO ROOT OUT ANTISEMITISM, ELIMINATE 'WOKE' PROGRAMS, GET 'BACK TO BASICS' AT THE UNITED NATIONSWaltz said he was looking to follow Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubios visions to carry out America First policies and "make the U.N. great again." He said the institution had moved away from its roots and was not acting as a place where everyone from around the world could work out issues, but the U.S. is looking to bring that back.The other major priority for the U.S. at the U.N., according to Waltz, is to get rid of "the bloat.""Like any bureaucracy over 80 years, it has gotten too big, too bureaucratic, and therefore less effective. So I'm not going to say that we're going to pull the DOGE up here, but we definitely need to make some cuts," he told Fox News Digital.Waltz pointed to a recent vote on Haiti as an example of the U.S. working to achieve results at the U.N. As a former congressman from Florida, he noted that the lawlessness in Haiti has spilled onto U.S. shores. However, Waltz believes the U.N.-backed gang-suppression force will restore law and order, without making the U.S. foot the bill."In line with what the president has demanded, were going to share the burden," Waltz said. "Other countries are involved. Kenya has taken the lead, El Salvador is taking a key role. Other countries are paying for it. It's not just all on the United States' shoulders."Waltz acknowledged Americans skepticism about the U.N., but he argued that its essential for the worlds leaders to meet on U.S. soil, and for Washington to remain at the table. He also pointed to the growing influence of international bodies on the American economy through regulation."There's all these international bodies that can directly affect our economy and our way of life that touch aviation and how we fly around the world, space, telecommunications, radio, data," he said. "And just as we fight for deregulation in our own federal government, we certainly don't want global overregulation on many of our industries."Waltz stressed that staying engaged globally is critical to protecting U.S. interests and preventing bad actors from filling the void."We have to say engaged, I think, to fight for the values that we hold dear. And if anything, this president is a fighter. We're going to keep fighting for our way of life," Waltz said.

If counting sheep isnt working, Americans may want to hit the fruit aisle next time they are at the grocery store.Certain fruits packed with natural hormones and minerals can help people fall asleep. Board certified and licensed dietitian nutritionist Kendall Mackintosh told Fox News Digital that there are fruits that are "rich in melatonin and antioxidants that help regulate circadian rhythms and repair cells overnight."TRENDING BEDTIME HACK SAID TO IMPROVE SLEEP, BUT EXPERTS ARENT SO SUREMackintosh, who also serves as a Global Wellness Forum council member, says she takes a broader view on USDA guidelines, adding she believes they should be updated."Nutrition isnt just about calories its about how food communicates with our body systems," said Mackintosh."This time of year, as we shift into fall with shorter days and less natural light, supporting melatonin naturally becomes even more important for sleep, mood, and metabolism," she added.About 14.5% of Americans have trouble falling asleep "most days or every day" in 2020, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).DEMENTIA RISK NEARLY DOUBLES AMONG THOSE WITH COMMON SLEEP DISORDER, STUDY FINDSTart cherries can help induce sleep by increasing the amount of melatonin, according to the Cleveland Clinic (CC). Melatonin is a natural hormone produced in the body by the brains pineal gland which partially controls the sleep-wake cycle.Cherries also have tryptophan, which is an amino acid used in the production of serotonin and melatonin, according to the CC.'SOCIAL SLEEP APNEA' COULD BE RUINING YOUR WEEKEND REST, STUDY SUGGESTSThe type of cherry is important when it comes to aiding sleep.Montmorency cherries are recommended as they are known for their tart and sour taste with high amounts of natural melatonin.KiwiMackintosh says Kiwi is also helpful for falling asleep.A study published in the National Library of Medicine found consuming kiwis "significantly improved" sleep quality and duration.The four-week study done in 2024 followed the sleep and recovery of elite athletes.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTERIt concluded there was an improvement of subjective sleep quality and daytime function.GrapesRegistered dietitian Anthony DiMarino told the CC that grapes are good for potentially aiding sleep."Grapes do have a degree of melatonin in them," says DiMarino."So theyre a great evening snack. They dont have a lot of calories, and they can potentially help you fall asleep," said DiMarino.For more Health articles, visitwww.foxnews.com/healthHe says how grapes are consumed is essential to receiving benefits."Whats most important is that you choose an option closest to its natural form," said DiMarino.He added that "instead of drinking grape juice or eating raisins, the original, unprocessed grape is where youll get the most nutrition."Mackintosh says beyond diet, lifestyle is also important.She suggests reducing evening blue light exposure from screens, keeping the bedroom cool and dark."Syncing your evening routine with the natural decrease in daylight are equally important lifestyle strategies. Together, these diet and lifestyle choices create the foundation for deeper rest, better resilience, and long-term vitality," said Mackintosh.

Following President Trump's announcement that he has ordered his administration to declassify and release all government records related to Amelia Earhart, an aviation expert is speaking out about the pilot's disappearance."I am ordering my Administration to declassify and release all Government Records related to Amelia Earhart, her final trip, and everything else about her," Trump wrote last week on Truth Social. "Thank you for your attention to this matter!"Earhart is widely known as anaviation trailblazer, becoming the first woman to fly solo across the U.S. nonstop on Aug. 24, 1932.RESEARCHERS ZERO IN ON AMELIA EARHART'S DISAPPEARANCE AFTER 88 YEARSEarhart flew The Electra, which disappeared on July 2, 1937, while flying from New Guinea to Howland Island."I have been asked by many people about the life and times of Amelia Earhart, such an interesting story, and would I consider declassifying and releasing everything about her, in particular, her last, fatal flight," Trump posted on Truth Social.Earheart was traveling with her navigator, Fred Noonan, on the last trip, when she communicated via radio that she was running low on fuel.President Trump added, "Amelia made it almost three quarters around the world before she suddenly, and without notice, vanished, never to be seen again. Her disappearance, almost 90 years ago, has captivated millions."It remains unclear whether there are any files sealed. Fox News Digital was unable to reach out to the National Archives due to the government shutdown.Dorothy Cochrane, the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museums Earhart expert, told Fox News Digital that Earhart was an advocate for womens rights, which was unique in the early 20th century."When [Earhart] became a pilot and built this successful career, you know, she fulfilled her personal interests, but she also then promoted the interests of women, both in aviation and in society in general. Part of that, and then her successes, are why she's such an iconic figure," she said.Cochrane said "theres no real mystery" surrounding the Electras disappearance."Amelia and Fred were on the right path. They had the course to get to nearby Howland Island it was such a small island in the middle of nowhere, and there were radio communications issues; they could not find it before they ran out of fuel," she noted.Many theories have circulated about the disappearance, such as Earhart living as a castaway on the island of Nikumaroro, being captured by the Japanese, or serving as a "U.S. spy" observing Japanese activity in the Pacific.Cochrane said she doesnt buy into these theories, noting that "there are facts to be followed from the Coast Guard folks who were awaiting them at Howland, so it's pertinent to search in and around Howland."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR LIFESTYLE NEWSLETTERMindi Love Pendergraft, executive director of the Amelia Earhart Hangar Museum in Atchison, Kansas, told AP that Trump's order "is sure to pique the interest of those dedicated to uncovering the mystery of Earhart's disappearance."She added, "If these records shed any light on Earhart's fate, it is a welcome action for Earhart historians and enthusiasts."In July, the Purdue Research Foundation (based in Indiana) and Archaeological Legacy Institute (based in Oregon) announced an expedition to investigate satellite images that could be the remains of the famous aviator's plane.In November, researchers will head to theremote islandof Nikumaroro, which is halfway between Australia and Hawaii, according to a joint press release from the two agencies.While on the island, researchers will determine whether the "Taraia Object," a visual anomaly captured by satellite, is the remains of Earharts plane.For more Lifestyle articles, visit foxnews.com/lifestyleSteven Schultz, chief legal officer of the Purdue Research Foundation, spoke about Trump's order at a press conference on Wednesday."One of the aspects of that message was he ordered the release of any classified material related to Amelia and her final flight," he said.

With nearly a quarter of all adults experiencing chronic back pain, many Americans are now seeking alternatives to opioids for meaningful relief.A recent study, "BackInAction," shows that manual acupuncture treatments can be an effective pain treatment for adults. The National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded study compared usual medical care such as medications or physical therapy, to similar care plus acupuncture.POPULAR BACK PAIN MEDICATION LINKED TO BRAIN HEALTH RISKS IN SOME PATIENTSThe trial included 800 men and women aged 65 and older with a medical history of chronic low back pain lasting at least three months. Participants were divided into three different groups: usual care only, up to 15 acupuncture treatments over three months, and up to 21 acupuncture treatments 15 standard sessions plus 6 maintenance sessions over six months.Researchers found that both groups receiving acupuncture reported greater reductions in pain-related disability than the usual care group at the six- and 12-month assessments.Other benefits of acupuncture were pain intensity reduction, an improvement of physical functions, and fewer anxiety symptoms.Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine which was introduced to the United States in the 1970s.For more Health articles, visitfoxnews.com/healthThe technique consisted of inserting fine needles into the skin at specific anatomical grid points, according to the NIH.Lead study author Lynn DeBar, Ph.D. said, while the size of the effect was modest, it was positive and sustained."Our clinical results suggest that acupuncture is working as well as many things that are more familiar to people," DeBar said in a press release.Co-lead researcher Andrea Cook, Ph.D., said older adults are also often dealing with other medical problems in addition to back pain.CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR OUR HEALTH NEWSLETTER"Acupuncture offers a less invasive option that has a better safety profile than a lot of the common treatments for back pain in older adults," Cook said in the release.According to the NIH, the share of adults using acupuncture rose from 1% in 2002 to 2.2% in 2022 more than doubling over two decades.Over 72% of Americans who had the treatment used it for pain.
