If you've ever been on a flight that landed before you could check-in at your hotel, you know the struggle of staying awake amid jet lag. If you were traveling to attend an important event, you surely know the struggle of looking fresh, awake, and presentable after a long flight.

Fortunately, a new app has set out to help out travelers with these dilemmas. Recharge will tell you which hotels are near you and let you book a room to nap, shower, or just get yourself together. You can book a room through the app and just head to the front desk.

You can use Recharge for pretty much anything that requires a moment in private. One user said in a testimonial that they used it to make a phone call. "Spend half an hour relaxing and get your whole self back. It's magical," another wrote.

It's currently available in San Francisco, with hotels including the Hyatt Regency and the Stanford Court Hotel on board. So if you're headed to the City by the Bay for the holidays, this might be a good time to download it.

For more details, click ahead.

If you're in need of a quiet spot, Recharge will help you figure out what your options are and how to get there.

You're charged by the minute, so you don't pay for any more time than you actually spend in the room.

The app also calculates how much time you'll need to get there, so you don't waste money paying for any time before you arrive.

You don't need to hurry out — you can decide to leave whenever you're ready.

Update: Mark Zuckerberg Details Facebook's Plan To End Fake News

Update: Mark Zuckerberg shared another post updating users on what Facebook will do to combat fake news on the social network. After assuring readers that the site's bottom line is to take misinformation seriously, Zuckerberg reiterates Facebook's long-standing position of letting the community police false information with reports and that such links are penalized in the News Feed.

"The problems here are complex, both technically and philosophically," Zuckerberg writes. "We believe in giving people a voice, which means erring on the side of letting people share what they want whenever possible. We need to be careful not to discourage sharing of opinions or to mistakenly restrict accurate content. We do not want to be arbiters of truth ourselves, but instead rely on our community and trusted third parties."

He then outlines that Facebook intends to improve its detection and flag false media, make reporting of false stories easier, reach out to more third-party fact-checking sites to identify misinformation, explore warning labels that would label stories as false, raise the bar for stories that appear as Related Links in the News Feed, disrupt the economics of fake-news sites, and listen to feedback from journalists and others in the news industry.

This story was originally posted on November 13.

In a post on his Facebook profile late on Saturday, Mark Zuckerberg said Facebook is planning to deal with those endless fake stories “soon."

"Our goal is to show people the content they will find most meaningful, and people want accurate news," the CEO wrote. "We have already launched work enabling our community to flag hoaxes and fake news, and there is more we can do here. We have made progress, and we will continue to work on this to improve further."

Recently, fake news on Facebook included a widely shared false report just days before the election: The post claimed that an FBI agent investigating Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server had killed himself. The story seemed designed to derail the campaign. Your newsfeed is tailored to show you stories similar to what you and your friends have liked and shared in the past, and a fake story aimed at supporters of either candidate during the contentious election could easily spread — thus helping its creators earn major money from ad revenue.

President Barack Obama even called out the platform — which Facebook insists is not a media outlet — in the days leading up to the election.

However, Zuckerberg is adamant that fake news posts on Facebook did not alter the election, explaining in his post that only a small amount of posts are fake.

"Of all the content on Facebook, more than 99% of what people see is authentic," he writes. "Only a very small amount is fake news and hoaxes. The hoaxes that do exist are not limited to one partisan view, or even to politics. Overall, this makes it extremely unlikely hoaxes changed the outcome of this election in one direction or the other."

A recent BuzzFeed investigation found that Zuckerberg's 99% figure might not be accurate. According to the report, 38% of posts shared from three large right-wing politics pages on Facebook included "false or misleading information" and three large left-wing pages did the same nearly 20% of the time.

We also learned something amazing reading Zuckerberg's note. Facebook helped more people register to vote than ever.

"Overall, I am proud of our role giving people a voice in this election," he writes. "We helped more than 2 million people register to vote, and based on our estimates we got a similar number of people to vote who might have stayed home otherwise."

Rowan Blanchard Calls On Fans To Get Girl Meets World Renewed

$

14-year-old actress Rowan Blanchard has never been shy about speaking up regarding things that are important to her. The Girl Meets World star, who came out as queer earlier this year in a tweet that supported her Disney Channel character potentially being bisexual, no less, has used her place in the public eye to draw attention to catcalling, LGBTQ representation in Hollywood, and female friendships, for a start. (She can also explain intersectional feminism better than most 30 year olds, but that's beside the point.)

Now, the inspirational actress is lending her voice to another cause she surely believes in: renewing Girl Meets World for a fourth season.

The popular Disney series finished filming its current season back in August, but as of yet, there has been no official word as to whether or not it will return. Earlier this week, Blanchard tweeted about how much she hoped the show would be able to continue and fans picked up her cause in droves.

Turns out, when Blanchard shared her hopeful message for the show's future, she sparked a Twitter campaign advocating for the series' survival.

Using the hashtags #SaveGirlMeetsWorld and #GirlMeetsWorldSeason4, fans have since been filling their Twitter feeds with declarations of love for the show and imploring the house that Mickey built to give it another go. Many are calling out how Girl Meets World delves into "real issues" that are often swept to the side by other Disney series, while some — see Topanga and Goonies reaction GIFs, below — focus on the funny.

Either way, fans have spoken: They want more Girl Meets World and they're not giving up without a fight. Did Cory and Topanga give up on each other back in the '90s? No. No, they did not. Life lessons, people.

If fan dedication can bring back Full House and Gilmore Girls, surely it can also save Riley and Maya — even if the show's writers have titled the season 3 finale "Girl Meets Goodbye."

Chanel Is Launching The Makeup Version Of Its Classic Tweed Jacket

Few things look more sophisticated than slipping on a tweed jacket, skirt, or dress before a fancy holiday dinner — especially if the tweed is of the iconic Chanel variety. The problem, of course, is cash flow. Luckily, we'll soon be able to scoop up the next best thing — from the legendary brand itself.

On November 28, Chanel is launching its annual holiday eyeshadow palette. And while that news is normally exciting in and of itself (after all, the shades and selection get better and better every year), this one takes it up a notch. The entire thing looks eerily similar to the house's iconic fabric: woven, knotted, and utterly chic.

It's everything we've ever wanted in a shadow kit, and then some: pretty to look at, with earthy, shimmery hues that look beautiful on the eyes. But what makes it better is that, at $105, it's only a fraction of the cost of a real Chanel tweed piece. (Okay, to be fair, it's still steep for an eyeshadow palette, but compared to a $3,500 jacket, we're calling it a steal. Or at least that's how we're presenting it on our wish list.)

"[The brand's] holiday palettes are already like small pieces of art, so the temptation is always to put it away and never use them because they are too beautiful," says Chanel's makeup artist Kate Lee. "However, this palette deserves to be used, and is perfect for creating a smoky eye with golden highlights."

Still not convinced? Lee used it just last week on Jessica Chastain and this is how it turned out. Yeah, that's what we thought.

In fact, these gilded colors are so damn wearable, you can even use them as highlighter. "You could do the center of the lid, the inner corners, or you could even use it under the brow bone," adds Lee.

Best part? No dry cleaning required.

Women's National Soccer Team Players Say They're Treated Like "Second-Class Citizens"

In a 60 Minutes interview airing on Sunday, November 20, U.S. Women's National Soccer Team captains Carli Lloyd and Becky Sauerbrunn, forward Christen Press, and midfielder Morgan Brian discuss the sexism they've faced as athletes.

"We feel like we’re treated like second-class citizens, because they don’t care as much about us as they do the men," Lloyd said in a segment on CBS This Morning. This is despite the fact that FIFA ranks the U.S. team the number one women's soccer team in the world (the men's team is number 24), and the women's team has received four Olympic gold medals and a silver.

"We have been in some — some major — some major battles on the field, but this is — this could be the fight that we are a part of," says Sauerbrunn.

Lloyd and Sauerbrunn are among the five players who filed a wage discrimination complaint against U.S. Soccer in March. After winning the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup, the team made $2 million, while the men's team made $8 million after losing in 2014.

Just before the 2016 Rio Olympics, which the team considered boycotting, defender Julie Johnston told Refinery29 that she supports her teammates' fight for equality.

"I think it’s about knowing your worth and what you can give back," she said. "This team has, over and over again, pushed limits [in ways] that many people didn't think was possible, and I think that it’s a responsibility to be able to grow and continue that. The next generation is very important to us."

This story was originally published on November 18.

Tyga is turning 27 on Saturday and Kylie Jenner decided to throw him an early surprise birthday party with the help of his son, King Cairo. To celebrate, Jenner invited over a few of their friends, and ordered a lot of sweet treats. There was the regular ol' birthday cake which Tyga blew out with the help of King, and then were these oddly erotic cupcakes, specially chosen by Jenner herself.

The cupcakes were quite unique and on-brand for the couple. They featured butts and breasts made out of icing. Jenner shared videos of the impromptu party on Snapchat, and in one of them Tyga is suggestively touching one of the butt cupcakes. He says, "Gotta make it look real. Gotta flatten it a little bit." To which Jenner audibly gasps and says "Babeeeee." Because, we all know the Kardashians butts are all REAL! The nerve.

Jenner also shared a close-up picture of the rest of the cupcakes which featured all of Tyga's favorite things: money, bling, his son, and of course, her.

I can only imagine the type of cake Jenner has planned for Tyga's actual birthday day.

Knee-High-Boots Won't Die — Here's How To Actually Wear Them

Just when you thought you could escape it, over-the-knee-boot season is back again. That, of course, means you find yourself asking: "How the hell do I wear these?"

Well, allow Instagram to be your manual. We know over-the-knee boots can be one of the most difficult shoes to pull off, but this time around, the right styling can have you realizing that they're not as intimidating as they may seem.

Lately, it's all about offsetting the tight, high boot with oversized, laid-back silhouettes or impactful volume up top. That means trying an of-the-moment fashion hoodie or a cozy, intentionally oversized sweater to create a look that's bound to work every single time. If you're not interested in showing too much skin, you can always play it a little more conservative with tights and leggings. Miniskirts aren't off limits, either.

There truly is a way for everyone to wear these tricksters (we promise) — especially if you use the outfits ahead as your guiding light. We don't know if this is what was meant by that whole, "When they go low, we go high," statement, but these looks will have you convinced to go way, way high with your boots this fall.

Pumpkin pie is a Thanksgiving staple for a reason. The origin story of your favorite pumpkin spice latte and those weird KFC Pumpkin Chicken Wraps starts with the humble desert. But have you ever thought about the origin story of the pie itself?

The people at the Today show, along with their partners at How Does It Grow , have it covered. It turns out that the original pumpkin pie was much more pumpkin than pie.

According to the How Does It Grow video, the English settlers' version was a spiced custard baked in a pumpkin. Dating back to the original Harvest Festival dinners, pilgrims would scoop out the insides of what we now call a "pie pumpkin." Then, it would be roasted. After the pumpkin was cooked, it would be filled with a custard and cooked again until the custard was set.

Do you cry every week while watching This Is Us? Mandy Moore has bad news for you. Things are not going to get any easier anytime soon.

Moore shared a photo of herself and co-star Milo Ventimiglia along with a car full of their TV kids. In it, she thanks the fans for all their support, calling the outpouring of love "overwhelming and humbling." But then, she drops a bomb.

Trump's Attorney General Is NOT A Fan Of Legal Pot

$

At a rally last year, Donald Trump said that he generally supported medical marijuana and its legality should be a state decision, The Washington Post reports. But Jeff Sessions, whom Trump plans to appoint as attorney general, has a different attitude.

"We need grown-ups in charge in Washington to say marijuana is not the kind of thing that ought to be legalized, it ought not to be minimized, that it’s, in fact, a very real danger," he said in April during a Senate hearing, according to The Washington Post. "This drug is dangerous, you cannot play with it, it is not funny, it’s not something to laugh about...good people don’t smoke marijuana."

He also said he believed Obama failed the country by not cracking down on legalization.

According to The New York Times, a Black lawyer who had worked with Sessions testified to Congress in 1986 that he'd said he considered the Ku Klux Klan "okay until I found out they smoked pot."

The Drug Policy Alliance's Ethan Nadelmann told The Post that Sessions' stance has major implications for the Trump administration. "Those who counted on Donald Trump’s reassurance that marijuana reforms ‘should be a state issue’ will be sorely disappointed," he said in a statement.

On top of that, Mike Pence is opposed to legalization of marijuana for both recreation and medical purposes, according to International Business Times.

On the state level, the 2016 election was a victory for those in favor of legalization. Four states voted to legalize recreational marijuana and three more voted to legalize medical marijuana. But the presidential election's results may tell a different story.

Trump Explains Why He Settled The Trump University Lawsuit

Donald Trump shelled out $25 million on Saturday, November 19, to settle three lawsuits filed by more than 6,000 former Trump University students, NBC reports.

The suits claim Trump falsely advertised his school and left the students — who, according to The Guardian, paid as much as $35,000 for tuition — in debt. Plaintiffs say the instructors weren't selected by Trump, as promised, and that the classes did not, in fact, prepare students to become wealthy businesspeople. The students will split Trump's settlement fee and he'll also be paying up to $1 million to the state of New York.

On the same day, Trump tweeted that the motive behind the settlement was to "focus on our country." He added that if he'd devoted his time to the case, he would've won.

The settlement doesn't require Trump to admit guilt and he maintains that he didn't mislead his students. In fact, he said in a presidential debate that alumni actually made "a lot of money by taking the course."

His critics say otherwise. The Guardian reports that Mitt Romney said in a speech before the primaries that Trump's "promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University."

Lauren Jauregui Of Fifth Harmony Addresses Bisexuality In Letter To Trump Supporters

Lauren Jauregui of Fifth Harmony addressed her sexuality, as well as her ethnicity, in an open letter to Donald Trump supporters published on Billboard last night.

Identifying herself as a proud "bisexual Cuban-American woman," the singer praises the bravery of immigrants like her parents and grandparents, who were willing to leave their homes in order to find a better life for their families. Acknowledging what she calls her own privilege — the "lighter complexion and green eyes" that make her someone who “passes” for white — Jauregui poignantly outlines why she feels the politics of Trump are a threat to her and fellow women. She feels that, after this polarizing election, many women “have no idea what their potential is."

Calling out Trump supporters who don't consider themselves to be racist, homophobic, xenophobic, or any other phobic as hypocrites who ultimately validated a campaign of discrimination and hate, Jauregui angrily lamented the ignorance of those who do not consider the misogyny that ran rampant in Trump's campaign to be, quite simply, a deal-breaker.

"Your words are worthless," she says, “because your actions have led to the single-handed destruction of all the progress we’ve made socially as a nation.”

In closing, Jauregui implores Trump supporters to do two things: "travel and read a history book." Because, she argues, almost all Americans came from immigrant families at some point: "None of us belong here, but all of us deserve the right to feel safe and live our lives in peace."

Since her open letter was published, Jauregui has received an outpouring of support and has taken to Twitter to thank her followers for the love — something they also offered in droves earlier this week after a leaked photo of the singer kissing another woman make the internet rounds.

"We are making sure you hear us," Jauregui writes. "No matter how much it bothers you, we EXIST."

Art Fans Will Love This Watercolor Eye Look — & It's SO Easy To Copy!

$

Iconic French painter Claude Monet's Water Lilies series isn't just for the museum. With this ethereal eyeshadow look, we're evoking the radiant purples and blues of the legendary artist's watercolor brush strokes. Watch the video above to see the full look, then use the steps below to copy it at home. See, we always said you were a work of art.

Left Eye

One of the things that keeps this look arty — and makes it especially easy to copy — is the fact that the eyes are different. The left eye has more detail, so let's break that down first...

Step 1: Using a small, round shadow brush, lightly swipe a deep, earthy purple color in an arch shape. Start just above the inner corner of your eye, swipe it upwards, then diffuse the color into the crease.

Step 2. Dab a metallic neutral (like beige, silver, bronze, or gold) on the center of the eyelid. This brightens the eye.

Step 3. Use a clean smudging brush to soften the dark purple hue, extend the color at the beginning and end, then top it with a slightly brighter purple in the center. (By adding the deeper swipe first, you add dimension to the brighter purple.)

Step 4. Using a small shadow brush, apply a bright-blue shadow on the inner half of the eye lid and into the crease.

Step 5. Use a blending brush to soften the edges of your blue shadow.

Step 6. Using a small, angled brush, smudge your brighter purple into the bottom lash line. Buff any harsh edges with your blending brush.

Right Eye

This one is up to you — artist's choice!

Tip: Borrow whatever you like from the left eye and repeat it on the right. We opted for a bright purple swipe in the crease, a bit of the blue smudged under the eye, and a wash of the neutral over the lid.

Apple Says Touch Disease Is Real & This Is What You Can Do If You've Got It

Few things are more frustrating than an iPhone on the fritz. Case in point: the dreaded touch disease, which generally manifests as a flickering gray bar atop the screen and ultimately renders the device's touchscreen useless. The issue is widely reported by iPhone 6 Plus owners and often presents itself gradually, becoming worse over time until, eventually, the screen loses responsiveness altogether.

Despite widespread customer complaints and a class-action lawsuit, Apple has not acknowledged the problem — until now.

The company, which previously refused to help iPhone owners affected by "touch disease" unless the affected phone in question was still under warranty — a rarity for devices that are now two generations old — has launched a new repair program for the widely reported issue.

According to Apple, which will now fix your infected phone for a service price of $149 through its Multi-Touch Repair Program, "touch disease" is not a design flaw, but rather a result of "being dropped multiple times on a hard surface and then incurring further stress."

What The Bachelorette Left Out About Jordan Rodgers' Family

When JoJo Fletcher chose Jordan Rodgers on The Bachelorette, she knew that she was choosing a partner with a complicated family backstory. Rodgers' brother, Aaron, the quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, came up a lot during the show. Pittsburgh Steelers' quarterback Ben Roethlisberger mentioned him during the football challenge at Heinz Field. JoJo also asked Jordan directly about his famous brother. Jordan mentioned it more than once, nowhere more poignantly (if anything in The Bachelorette is poignant) than during the hometown dates.

When JoJo visited the Rodgers' home in California, she met Jordan's parents and his other brother, Luke. There was some awkward talk about Aaron, but the family didn't go into many details about the rift.

An article published Friday on Bleacher Report claims to have more insight into that relationship. More specifically, the article outlines some troubling details about the Packers' quarterback. Aaron Rodgers allegedly has done things such as return Christmas gifts from his parents and has forbidden his family from coming to his games in Green Bay, WI. According to the story, he didn't attend his grandfather's funeral. The unnamed source also claims that if Rodgers' father wants to attend a game, he has to buy tickets from StubHub, just like any stranger would have to do.

It is important to note that Friday's article was looking for off-the-field answers to Aaron Rodgers' disappointing on-field play and wasn't necessarily focused on family issues. Additionally, the source for the personal information is described as being someone "who was close to Rodgers for years, but is among the many who have since been cut off by Rodgers entirely."

Aaron Rodgers has never really commented publicly about the situation or his brother's appearance on The Bachelorette, other than to say, "As far as those kinds of things go, I've always found that it's a little inappropriate to talk publicly about some family matters," he explained when asked about it during training camp. "I'm not going to speak on those things, but I wish him well in the competition."

After The Bachelorette finale, Jordan Rodgers said he would love to have his whole family at his wedding to Fletcher. Time will tell if that comes to pass.

Prince William took a break from his efforts to build awareness about the illegal wildlife trade to take on a more personal issue. During a visit to a local talk show, he spoke about the challenges of being a husband and a parent, The Telegraph reports.

"As the other parents in the room will testify, there's wonderful highs and there's wonderful lows," he says with a laugh. He admits to struggling with the change from single "independent man" to husband and, now, father. He credits his wife, Catherine, saying that she's a wonderful wife and mother.

"I've learned a lot about myself and about family just from having my own children," he says.

The Duke of Cambridge notes that his son, George, is a "right little rascal sometimes," but a lovely boy.

As for Princess Charlotte, it seems that she might have thrown her father for a bit of a loop. Prince William admits that having a girl was a big change. "Bearing in mind, I haven't had a sister," he reminds the interviewer. "Having a daughter is a very different dynamic."

It isn't often that we see Prince William on a chat show, much less talking so openly about his young family. Such honesty and authenticity is always welcome.

Last night, the Gilmore Girls premiere in Los Angeles was the debut of more than just the new series. (If you didn't get to attend, you'll be able to watch the Netflix series on November 25.) Actress Mae Whitman showed up in an adorably retro-themed T-shirt that marked her as Team Lorelai. A natural choice, since Whitman played Lauran Graham's TV daughter on Parenthood.

The great news is you can get your own! Whitman tweeted that designer Rachel Antonoff created the shirt, which will be available soon. According to Whitman, they will come in "with Lorelai" or "with Rory" options. That's your Christmas shopping list sorted for fans of all things Gilmore.

Now if only Rory could get some underwear from a nice designer. Or if we could just spend a little time in the Gilmore Girls wardrobe closet!

Sabra Recalls Hummus After Possible Listeria Contamination

Update: Sabra have released a statement about the outbreak from Shali Shalit Shoval, the CEO of Sabra Dipping Co. After detailing the voluntary recall, Shoval writes, "We have invested heavily in technology and enhancing our processes and protocols, with guidance and input from external experts, to develop and put in place industry-leading food safety procedures, such as testing finished product from the production line every two minutes for pathogens including listeria. We want to reassure our consumers that our procedures include extensive finished product testing, and no products tested positive for contaminants. We are taking action because consumer safety is a top priority."

Read the statement in full on their website.

This article was originaally published at 3:00 p.m. ET on November 20, 2016.

On Saturday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced that Sabra Dipping Co. (the official name of Sabra) is voluntarily recalling dips and spreads nationwide due to a possible listeria contamination.

The hummus was manufactured before November 8 at a plant where Listeria monocytogenes have been found, but according to the FDA, the bacteria has not yet been found in products that have been tested.

The FDA and Sabra are asking you to discard any product with a "Best Before" date through January 23, 2017. That date can be found on the lid of each package. Sabra has all the products that are part of the recall on its website and the list includes classic hummus, red pepper hummus, garlic hummus, spinach and artichoke hummus, and many more of our favorites. You can see the full list, here.

This isn't Sabra's first brush with a Listeria-related recall. Back in April 2015, we reported that Sabra found contaminated product in a grocery store and worked with the FDA to address the contamination.

Listeria infection is caused by eating food tainted with the bacterium Listeria monocytogenes. According to the most recent annual estimates from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 1,600 people get sick and 260 people die due to listeria infection every year. Symptoms include headache, fever, stiff neck, nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. It can be deadly in children, the elderly, and those with weakened immune systems. It can also lead to miscarriages and stillbirths among pregnant women.
