The Key to Better aging: More NAD+
Most skincare works on the surface. Aramore goes where real aging begins: the basal layer of the skin, where new cells form. Backed by decades of research from Harvard and MIT scientists, Aramore is the first topical system designed to support skin’s NAD+ — the molecule your cells rely on for repair, energy, and resilience.
As NAD+ naturally declines with age, visible changes follow: dullness, uneven tone, fine lines, and loss of firmness. Aramore’s unique complex of NAD+ precursors, ketones, and fatty acids helps replenish cells at the source for skin that acts healthier and younger.
Clinically shown to improve tone, radiance, smoothness, and firmness as soon as 28 days.
Keep your finger on the Pulse!
GOOD MORNING

Mystery Surrounds Missing USF Doctoral Students Last Seen April 16
Two University of South Florida doctoral students are missing, prompting an active search by campus police and the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.
Authorities are looking for 27-year-old Zamil Limon and 27-year-old Nahida S. Bristy, both last seen on April 16. Limon, who studies geography and environmental science, was last spotted around 9 a.m. at his residence on Avalon Heights Boulevard. Bristy, a chemical engineering doctoral student, was last seen around 10 a.m. at the NES Building on USF’s Tampa campus.
A family friend reported both missing on April 17 after being unable to contact them, according to investigators.
Officials say the circumstances surrounding their disappearance remain unclear, and it is not known whether the two are connected or left together.
Anyone with information is urged to contact USF Police at (813) 974-2628.
Tampa Braces for Massive Crowds During Packed
K-Pop Weekend
Tampa officials are urging residents to plan ahead as tens of thousands of visitors are expected to flood the city during a packed weekend of events from April 24–26.
The biggest draw is BTS performing three nights at Raymond James Stadium, with crowds of more than 60,000 fans expected each night. In preparation, Tampa Bay Boulevard will be closed from April 22 through April 29, significantly impacting traffic near the stadium.
Additional events across the city include the K-Pop Asian Night Market, Black Heritage Music Festival, Varsity Spirit Cheerleading competition, and multiple performances at the Straz Center.
Officials warn that major entertainment hubs will see heavy congestion, especially downtown and near the stadium.
To ease travel, the city recommends using alternative transportation, including the free TECO Streetcar, DASH service, HART buses, and bike options.
Drivers are advised to expect delays and plan routes accordingly.
Pasco Schools Probe Wiregrass Elementary Principal After Complaints
The Pasco County School District has launched an investigation into complaints involving the principal of Wiregrass Elementary in Wesley Chapel, following concerns raised by parents and staff.
Nearly two dozen teachers and parents spoke at an April 14 school board meeting, calling for the removal of principal Bailey Morris, who began leading the school this year. Complaints cited student safety issues, lack of discipline enforcement, and an environment of fear and uncertainty.
Some staff members alleged incidents of physical aggression by students have gone unaddressed, while others claimed retaliation against those who raise concerns.
Superintendent John Legg said the district began reviewing the situation immediately after learning of the complaints and emphasized the need for a fair and thorough process.
District officials noted they had only been aware of the concerns for less than a week and are working to determine their validity.
After Near-Fatal Accident, Renner Backs Tech Aiding First Responders
Actor Jeremy Renner is partnering with and investing in emergency response platform RapidSOS to help advance the use of AI and real-time data for first responders.
The company provides emergency teams with critical health and location data from smartphones, wearables, vehicles, and nearby systems before they arrive on scene. Renner’s involvement is driven by his own near-fatal 2023 accident, when he suffered 38 broken bones and severe chest trauma.
The collaboration will also include a documentary titled “Behind the Emergency,” highlighting how technology can improve public safety outcomes.
Renner has emphasized the need for better data sharing across healthcare systems, noting that during his recovery, providers often lacked coordination and repeated tests unnecessarily.
He believes that delivering the right information at the right time can help first responders and medical teams work more effectively and ultimately save lives.
