Diabetes is a disease that affects your body’s ability to produce or respond to insulin, resulting in high blood sugar. The first symptoms can be so subtle that some people might brush them off as insignificant. If left untreated, diabetes can not only decrease the quality of life but also reduce life expectancy, which is why it is so crucial to diagnose the disease early. Bright Side compiled a list of the most common early signs of diabetes that will help you spot the disease in time. 1. Increased thirst and urination © Wanwisspaul / shutterstock.com Increased thirst (polydipsia) and frequent urination (polyuria) are the most common symptoms of diabetes. When you have diabetes, your kidneys can’t absorb all the excess sugar. Instead, it ends up in your urine, taking along fluids from your tissues. This makes you pee more and leaves you feeling dehydrated. To quench your thirst, you start drinking more, which leads to even more frequent urination. The average person urinates 6–7 times a day. Anywhere between 4 and 10 times a day is also normal if the person is healthy and the number of bathroom breaks hasn’t changed. 2. Increased hunger © Wanwisspaul / shutterstock.com Excessive hunger (polyphagia), together with the increased thirst and urination mentioned above, make up the 3 major signs of diabetes. If your body doesn’t produce enough (or any) insulin or if it doesn’t respond to it the normal way, it can’t convert food into the glucose that your cells use for energy. And that causes increased hunger that doesn’t go away after eating. In fact, eating only makes the blood sugar even higher. If you keep eating but your hunger persists, you may need to consult your physician, even if you seemingly don’t have any other symptoms of diabetes. 3. Fatigue © Wanwisspaul / shutterstock.com Another common sign of diabetes is constant fatigue. When you have diabetes, you feel tired and sleepy all the time for the same reason that you always feel hungry: your cells don’t have enough glucose to use for energy. Dehydration caused by frequent urination also contributes to feeling exhausted. Fatigue can be a symptom of many other conditions, some not even medical (carb-heavy diet, too much caffeine, aging). But when combined with other symptoms from this list, it can be a sign of diabetes. 4. Blurred vision © Wanwisspaul / shutterstock.com When blurred vision is not a sign of a more serious eye problem, it can be an early sign of diabetes. It happens due to shifting fluids, which makes the lens of your eye swell and change shape. This affects your ability to focus, and things start to look blurry or fuzzy. These changes in the eye are usually reversible, and your sight should go back to normal as your blood sugar levels stabilize with treatment. However, if diabetes is left untreated, these changes can progress and lead to blindness. 5. Unexplained weight loss © Wanwisspaul / shutterstock.com Unexplained weight loss means losing a lot of weight without the help of dieting or exercising. Since your body can’t use glucose as a source of energy when you have diabetes, it starts burning fat and muscle for energy instead, causing your weight to drop. Dehydration also contributes to sudden weight loss since your body uses all available fluids to produce urine. Unexpected weight loss is a common early sign of type 1 diabetes, but it can affect people suffering from type 2 diabetes as well. 6. Itchy skin © Wanwisspaul / shutterstock.com As mentioned above, when excess sugar is excreted into your urine, it takes along fluids from your other tissues, including your skin (your largest organ!). Dry skin can make you itchy, and scratching those dry patches can lead to your skin getting broken and even infected. Another reason for itchy skin is yeast infections, which are fairly common in people with diabetes. If you have diabetes, learn some basic skin care tips to keep your skin healthy. Advertisement 7. Slow healing © Wanwisspaul / shutterstock.com Cuts and wounds that heal very slowly can often be a symptom of diabetes. High blood sugar not only increases inflammation in cuts and sores but also leads to poor blood circulation, making it hard for blood to reach and repair damaged areas of skin. This especially concerns feet, and it is not uncommon for patients with diabetes to develop foot sores that might lead to more serious problems. If you’ve noticed that your cuts and wounds take longer to heal than before, be sure to mention it to your physician. 8. Dark patches of skin © Wanwisspaul / shutterstock.com Acanthosis nigricans is a skin condition that presents itself in dark patches of skin with a velvety texture. These patches usually appear in areas where skin creases or folds: on the neck, in the armpits, in the groin, inside the elbows, behind the knees, and on the knuckles of fingers. While this condition can affect otherwise healthy people, it is a common sign of prediabetes or diabetes and should be examined by your physician. 9. Numb or tingling hands or feet © Wanwisspaul / shutterstock.com Numbness, tingling, or pain in the hands or feet (or fingers or toes) is another common sign of diabetes. As mentioned above, high blood sugar leads to poor blood circulation, and that, in turn, leads to nerve damage. Hands and feet, being the body parts farthest from the heart, suffer first. As with many other symptoms on this list, keeping your blood sugar in check will help you greatly, and your circulation should improve. Diabetes is a chronic disease that can lead to many serious complications if left untreated. The earlier it is diagnosed, the easier it will be to manage it and the longer your life will be. If you notice any of these symptoms, especially several of them combined, make an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible.

It’s always delightful when your significant other brings some extra perks to the table. Sure, their unwavering love and affection are more than sufficient. However, a playful discount at your favorite restaurant or a handful of complimentary goodies from their workplace can certainly sweeten the deal in your relationship. In the case of this American woman, Christine Kesteloo, she’s living a charmed life. Sailing aboard a cruise ship for free, all thanks to her husband. Her husband serves as the Staff Chief Engineer on the ship. And Christine enjoys a unique status as both a guest and a crew member. There are so many advantages to living on a cruise ship She relishes numerous advantages, permitting her to partake in almost every activity available to the ship’s crew and guests, with a few minor exceptions. Christine actively chronicles her life onboard the cruise ship on TikTok, openly discussing some restrictions she faces in her videos. With a dedicated following of over 680,000 users on the platform, she emphasizes her respect for the privacy and enjoyment of guests and crew members while aboard. She elaborates that it would be “disrespectful” to film them during their holiday. However, she notes that the situation changes when they appear in her videos off the ship. No gambling on the cruise ship for Christine, either Christine also reveals that she abstains from gambling on the ship. Explaining, “Because it would look a little weird if I, as the wife of the staff chief engineer, won a big jackpot.” She goes on to elaborate in her video that there are even more rules she needs to stick to. There’s a strict rule she adheres to, much like regular guests. She cannot afford to be tardy when it comes to reboarding the cruise ship. She states emphatically that they won’t wait for her. The same applies to her husband because someone else would assume his role if they missed the ship. Image Credit: @dutchworld_americangirl TikTok There is a level of respect that needs to be maintained at all times Furthermore, she shares that although it’s not strictly forbidden, she chooses not to display videos of medical evacuations during search and rescue missions out of respect for the individuals involved. Having served as a cruise director in the past, Christine willingly surrenders her space in guest areas, particularly around the crowded pool, as she believes it’s the right thing to do. Some followers were not as thrilled by the idea, but others were excited. “No shade here, but how do you keep yourself busy? I imagine it must get boring once the novelty has worn off” One said. Another excitedly piped in saying “Calling all cruise ship engineers… I’m single and ready to be a wife on board!” While Christine enjoys complimentary meals at various dining venues onboard, she does incur costs for soft drinks and alcohol, albeit with a generous 50 percent discount. Additionally, she benefits from discounts in the onboard shops, spa areas, and internet access. All in all, it seems like a pretty enviable life, wouldn’t you agree? So what would it cost to live on a cruise ship?

What Happens To Your Body When You Quit Alcohol For 30 Days? Whether it’s the holiday season, summer barbecue season, or anything in between, there always seems to be a reason to drink. Drinking alcohol, be it wine, beer, or spirits, has become a “must” on many occasions. Your best friend’s birthday? Drink. The game is on? Drink. Girl’s night? Drink. Celebrating literally anything at all? Drink. While drinking in moderation isn’t necessarily harmful, we know that alcohol is not good for us. The question is, how much better would you feel if you stopped drinking for a month, and when was the last time you went an extended period without drinking? Let’s see how much better off your body would actually be. What Happens To Your Body When You Quit Alcohol For 30 Days? Credit: Shutterstock Alcohol consumption has become a prevalent part of our culture, often serving as a means to unwind and relax. It’s played a role in various cultural practices, in fact, for hundreds of years. However, excessive alcohol use can lead to numerous health problems. “Alcohol’s two main breakdown products are acetaldehyde and ethanoic acid. Those byproducts are toxic to all tissues of the human body; however, we are able to metabolize a small amount of them,” explains Doctor Niall Campbell, an alcohol addiction expert. “So, while we can metabolize around a unit of alcohol an hour, if you drink a lot, everyday, your body has to rid your system of those toxins. If you overload the liver, you have more of those toxins inside your body, which can damage the liver itself, your brain, your stomach, your heart and your pancreas.”  The Journey Credit: Shutterstock It is no wonder that many individuals choose to embark on a journey of sobriety, hoping to experience a range of positive changes in their bodies and overall well-being. If you decide to quit alcohol for 30 days, here’s what you can expect to happen to your body Improved Liver Health Credit: Shutterstock Your liver is responsible for breaking down alcohol in your body. Continuous alcohol consumption can cause liver damage, leading to conditions like fatty liver disease, alcoholic hepatitis, and even liver cirrhosis. However, in just 30 days of sobriety, your liver can start to repair itself. This can result in improved liver function and decreased inflammation, significantly reducing the risk of liver damage and disease. Better Sleep Credit: Shutterstock Alcohol can interfere with the quality of your sleep. While it may help you fall asleep faster, it disrupts the REM (rapid eye movement) stage of sleep, leading to poor sleep quality overall. By quitting alcohol for 30 days, you give your body a chance to regulate its sleep patterns. Improved sleep can enhance your mood, cognitive function, and overall energy levels. Weight Loss Credit: Shutterstock Alcohol is high in calories and can contribute to weight gain. Each gram of alcohol contains 7 calories, while protein and carbohydrates are 4 calories per gram. By abstaining from alcohol for a month, you eliminate these excess calories from your diet. Additionally, alcohol can stimulate hunger and impair judgment, leading to poor food choices. During the 30 days, avoiding alcohol can help you make healthier dietary choices, leading to weight loss and improved overallmetabolic function. Enhanced Mental Health Credit: Shutterstock Alcohol is a depressant that can exacerbate symptoms of anxiety and depression. Quitting alcohol for a month can lead to significant improvements in mental health. Alcohol-free time allows your brain to rebalance its chemistry, leading to boosted mood and reduced anxiety levels. As a result, you may find yourself feeling more mentally stable and emotionally resilient. Increased Energy and Hydration Credit: Shutterstock Alcohol is a known diuretic, meaning it stimulates the production of urine and results in dehydration. When you stop drinking alcohol, your body can regain its natural hydration levels. This leads to benefits such as increased energy, improved concentration, and better physical performance. Reduced Risk of Chronic Diseases Credit: Shutterstock Excessive alcohol consumption is linked to an increased risk of several chronic diseases, including cardiovascular diseases, liver diseases, certain cancers, and pancreatitis. By quitting alcohol for 30 days, you significantly reduce your risk of developing these conditions. Moreover, you give your body a chance to heal and rejuvenate, promoting overall well-being. Improved Skin and Appearance Credit: Shutterstock Alcohol can dehydrate your skin and cause inflammation, leading to premature aging, acne, and other skin problems. When you quit alcohol for a month, your skin can regain its natural moisture, resulting in a healthier and more radiant complexion. Additionally, reducing alcohol consumption can also improve other aspects of physical appearance, such as reduced weight gain and improved hair quality. Overall Health and Well-being Credit: Shutterstock Quitting alcohol for 30 days can lead to a range of positive changes in your body and overall well-being. These improvements can positively influence various aspects of your life, including relationships, work productivity, and overall happiness. Additionally, it may catalyze adopting healthier habits and continuing the journey to a healthier lifestyle. Go Sober, Get Healthy? Credit: Shutterstock Embarking on a 30-day journey of sobriety can have significant positive effects on your body and overall health. From improved liver health to enhanced mental well-being, the benefits are far-reaching. By eliminating alcohol from your life for a month, you give your body a chance to heal, repair, and rejuvenate. While the journey may not always be easy, the rewards can be tremendous, paving the way for a healthier and more fulfilling life. That being said, perhaps even just as a start, attempt to cut back on your drinking. Learning how to unwind, enjoy life, and celebrate achievements without alcohol will do wonders for your long-term health.

When my wife decided not to dye her graying hair, I initially struggled to understand her choice. I had expected her to return from the salon with the silver strands masked, reflecting the “youthful” look I thought she wanted. But when she sent me a selfie with her natural gray still showing, I was taken aback. However, what started as confusion soon turned into a journey of understanding. I came to appreciate her decision and, through it, grew to see beauty and confidence in a new light. This story isn’t just about my wife’s choice. It’s about a larger movement, a growing trend of women embracing their gray hair as a symbol of authenticity, confidence, and resilience. For other husbands and partners, it’s a reminder that true beauty extends beyond traditional expectations and, sometimes, into the uncharted realm of silver strands. The Rise of the #GreyHairDontCare Movement For decades, societal norms suggested that women should cover their gray hair to maintain a youthful appearance. The beauty industry reinforced this idea, leading countless women to dye their hair for years. But recently, a movement has emerged to challenge these long-standing standards. Known as #GreyHairDontCare, this trend sees women worldwide proudly embracing their gray hair as a sign of self-acceptance and empowerment. Famous figures have played a role in this transformation. Actresses like Andie MacDowell, Helen Mirren, and Jodie Foster have showcased their gray locks on red carpets, from Hollywood events to the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. On social media, accounts like @agingwith_style_and_grays and @grey_so_what inspire thousands with their natural hair journeys, using the hashtag #GreyHairDontCare over half a million times on Instagram. On TikTok, #greyhair has gained more than 470 million views, reflecting a shifting mindset. These women are redefining beauty, showing the world that grace, confidence, and authenticity far outweigh society’s outdated standards. The Pandemic’s Role in Redefining Beauty Standards The COVID-19 pandemic unexpectedly fueled the gray hair movement. With salons closed, many women had no choice but to let their natural hair color grow out. For some, this was a temporary solution, but for others, it became a turning point. Free from the pressures of maintaining appearances for work or social events, they found themselves questioning the need to dye their hair at all. The lockdowns created an opportunity to break from societal norms and embrace natural aging. For many, allowing their gray hair to shine through was liberating, a chance to reclaim control over their appearance. Stylists have observed that the pandemic shifted perceptions of beauty, helping people to see aging as a natural, and even beautiful, process. Gray Hair: A Bold Statement Beyond Fashion Choosing to go gray is about much more than appearances. For many women, it’s a powerful act of self-affirmation and a rejection of the idea that their worth is tied to their youth. By embracing gray hair, they’re declaring that they won’t conform to the beauty industry’s pressure to look younger. When my wife decided to keep her gray hair, I initially saw it as a superficial decision. But now, I realize it was a reflection of her inner strength. She was making a statement about her values, about her desire to live authentically and on her own terms. By keeping her natural hair color, she was choosing to celebrate herself as she is, gray strands and all. This trend resonates on a broader cultural level, promoting self-esteem, confidence, and mental well-being. Accepting gray hair isn’t just a fashion choice—it’s a message that age is something to be embraced, not concealed. Social Media’s Role in Embracing Gray Hair Social media has played a significant role in normalizing and celebrating gray hair. Platforms like Instagram and TikTok are full of influencers who share their gray hair journeys, creating supportive online communities. These influencers showcase styling tips, share care routines, and celebrate each new milestone in their journey to embrace natural hair. This visibility has made it easier for others to make the same choice. By showing the beauty of gray hair through real-life stories and images, these influencers are breaking down outdated stereotypes and redefining gray hair as a symbol of strength and wisdom. For years, the beauty industry has equated youth with beauty, promoting hair dyes that promise to hide gray as a way to “fight” aging. But this outdated narrative is changing. Today, gray hair is celebrated as a marker of resilience and authenticity. Women with gray hair are no longer seen as frail or irrelevant. Instead, they’re recognized as dynamic, stylish, and professional. According to research from the Centre for Appearance Research, the perception of gray hair as a sign of decline is slowly disappearing. Now, women in their 40s, 50s, and beyond are seen as vibrant and confident, gray hair and all. This changing perspective reflects a broader trend of inclusivity, as society begins to embrace diversity in beauty. The Impact on the Hair Dye Industry The hair dye industry has thrived for decades by capitalizing on the fear of aging. But with the #GreyHairDontCare movement gaining momentum, one has to wonder: will the demand for hair dye change? While the hair dye market remains a billion-dollar industry, the popularity of gray hair may lead to a shift in marketing tactics. Brands are starting to take notice. For instance, Dove’s #KeepTheGrey campaign encourages women to embrace their natural hair color, regardless of age. As this trend grows, it’s likely that hair care companies will shift their focus from hiding gray to celebrating personal style, perhaps by developing products that enhance silver strands rather than covering them up. From Stigma to Style: Gray Hair as a Symbol of Empowerment Embracing gray hair has become a bold statement of self-love and empowerment. Not too long ago, few women would have dared to let their gray show, but today, public figures like Queen Letizia of Spain, Princess Caroline of Monaco, and news anchor Lisa LaFlamme are proudly showcasing their silver strands. Gray hair is no longer something to hide; it’s something to … Read more

Cloves, the aromatic flower buds from the clove tree (Syzygium aromaticum), are a common spice used globally in various cuisines. However, their uses extend beyond just flavoring dishes. Cloves have been utilized in traditional medicine for centuries, and modern science is beginning to uncover the multitude of health benefits they offer. From boosting digestion to fighting cancer, the health potential is vast and impressive. Below, we explore eight surprising health benefits of incorporating cloves into your diet. 1. Packed with Nutrients Credit: Pixabay Cloves are not just a flavorful addition to your meals; they are also a rich source of essential nutrients. A single teaspoon of ground cloves contains fiber, vitamins, and minerals that can support overall health. For instance, cloves are particularly high in manganese, an essential mineral for brain function and bone health. Just one teaspoon provides 55% of your daily recommended intake of manganese.1 Although small in quantity, the regular inclusion of cloves in your diet can contribute to your daily nutrient intake. 2. High in Antioxidants Credit: Pixabay Antioxidants are crucial in combating oxidative stress, which is linked to chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer. Cloves are particularly rich in antioxidants, including a compound called eugenol, which acts as a potent natural antioxidant.2 Incorporating cloves into your diet can therefore help protect your cells from damage and reduce your risk of developing chronic diseases. 3. Improves Liver Health Credit: Pixabay Research indicates that the eugenol found in cloves may offer protective benefits to the liver. A 2022 animal study demonstrated that clove extract could improve liver damage caused by toxic substances. While more human studies are needed, these findings suggest that cloves may help maintain liver health when consumed in moderation. 4. Possesses Anti-Cancer Properties Credit: Unsplash Some studies have highlighted the potential anti-cancer properties of cloves. Eugenol, a compound abundant in cloves, has shown promising results in promoting cell death in certain types of cancer cells, including breast cancer. Although eugenol is toxic in large amounts, moderate consumption of cloves might help in cancer prevention, although more research is needed to confirm these effects in humans. 5. Destroys Bacteria Credit: Pixabay Cloves possess strong antimicrobial properties, making them effective in killing bacteria and stopping the growth of microorganisms. This benefit is particularly relevant for oral health. Studies have shown that clove extract can reduce harmful bacteria in the mouth, potentially improving gum health and reducing the risk of dental issues like plaque build-up. 6. Regulates Blood Sugar Levels Credit: Pixabay Cloves might also help in regulating blood sugar levels. Research suggests that certain compounds in the spice can improve insulin function and lower blood glucose levels. For instance, a 2019 study found that participants who took clove extract showed significant improvements in their post-meal blood sugar levels. This makes cloves a potentially beneficial addition to the diet of individuals managing diabetes or prediabetes. 7. Strengthens Bones Credit: Unsplash Bone health is a growing concern, especially with the prevalence of osteoporosis in aging populations. Cloves contain manganese, an essential mineral for bone formation, and studies have shown that eugenol may help preserve bone density. While further research is needed, adding cloves to your diet could support stronger bones and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. 8. Reduces Stomach Ulcers Credit: Pexels Stomach ulcers, painful sores in the stomach lining, can be debilitating. Cloves, with their eugenol content, may help in treating these ulcers. Some animal studies suggest they can increase the production of gastric mucus, which acts as a barrier against stomach acids, potentially reducing the risk of ulcers. This traditional use of cloves is supported by emerging scientific evidence, although more research on humans is needed. Conclusion Cloves are a versatile spice that offers more than just a burst of flavor to your dishes. With their rich nutrient content, antioxidant properties, and potential to improve various aspects of health, including liver function, blood sugar regulation, and bone strength, this is a spice worth incorporating into your daily routine. However, as with any potent natural remedy, moderation is key. Overconsumption, particularly of clove oil, can lead to adverse effects, so it’s important to use them thoughtfully. By integrating cloves into a balanced diet, you can enjoy their surprising health benefits while enhancing the flavor of your meals. <script type=”text/javascript”> atOptions = { ‘key’ : ‘c1bdbb1993d90a138414ca1b833f39ad’, ‘format’ : ‘iframe’, ‘height’ : 250, ‘width’ : 300, ‘params’ : {} }; </script> <script type=”text/javascript” src=”//filthyrankscuffle.com/c1bdbb1993d90a138414ca1b833f39ad/invoke.js”></script>

1: Nomal 2: Rich 3: Poor 4: a lot of money   Lying on your back People who like to lie on their backs are straightforward, honest, sincere and always try their best. They are serious in all their work. They have a positive attitude, always love life and are full of energy. That is why they are not afraid to face challenges. Their efforts help them make great strides in their careers and achieve many successes in life.   Lying on their stomachs These are conservative people, like to do things their own way and rarely listen to others. When working, they pay little attention to the feelings of the other person, are competitive and aggressive. When facing these people, you need to be tactful and gentle, otherwise conflicts will easily arise.   With superiors, they are easily offended because they do not hesitate to show their attitude when they feel uncomfortable with the policies set forth by the leader. However, colleagues admire them. Sometimes they are too stereotyped, mechanical, and sometimes have a somewhat willful point of view. This makes life in the future somewhat unsatisfactory. People who lie in this position are usually quite calm, not afraid of anything. When faced with failure, they do not get discouraged but just smile to regain their enthusiasm and then find a way to change everything. This is also a position that shows that they can become a rich and powerful person. Life later is quite comfortable, not having to worry too much about money.     Fetal position This is a side-lying position, knees bent up. People who lie in this position often live a closed life, feeling the need to be protected and sympathized by others. When facing difficulties, they often do not dare to face them but choose to avoid them. They are talented in the arts such as writing, painting, dancing, and dancing.     Lying on the side, head on the arm People who lie on the side, head on the arm are often elegant, polite and especially honest and sincere. They tend to be romantic, sweet in love and always aim for beauty. If you live with them, you will be happy and comfortable because you are loved and cared for.     Lying on your side, one leg bent People with this sleeping position are often confused, scared and too sensitive. They often complain and blame this and that. Therefore, their mood is easily stressed, easily reacting harshly to small things.

In a scene with a few seemingly innocent faces, one person hides a secret: they’re a thief. Can you figure out who it is? This puzzle challenges you to look closely at every detail in the image and use your powers of observation to solve the mystery. Appearances can be deceiving, and the answer is hidden in the subtle clues each character reveals. Are you ready to test your detective skills? How to Identify the Thief In this observation puzzle, you’re tasked with uncovering which of the three people is the thief. At first glance, the answer may seem obvious, but take your time. This scene showcases three individuals, each one looking harmless in their way. Your challenge is to find the thief by analyzing their appearances, attire, and behavior closely. Let’s break down the clues to uncover what’s really happening. Common Missteps: Avoiding Assumptions in Observation Puzzles Many people tend to jump to conclusions in puzzles like these. They might immediately suspect the woman in the fur coat (#1) simply because her attire stands out, or perhaps they’ll suspect the only man (#2) in the group for being different. These assumptions are exactly what can trip you up in observation puzzles. Often, the most obvious detail isn’t the clue you’re looking for. Instead, it’s the subtler, less conspicuous elements that reveal the truth. Step-by-Step Guide to Solving the Puzzle Ready to break it down? Follow these steps to uncover who’s guilty and why. Step 1: Observe the Weather and Clothing The first clue lies in the clothing choices of each person. The scene appears to be set on a warm day, with most people dressed lightly. However, one person stands out: the woman labeled as #1 is wearing a large, heavy coat. In warmer weather, a coat is unusual and can indicate that she’s trying to hide something underneath it. Step 2: Examine Her Behavior Another clue is in her posture. Notice that she’s walking with her hands in her pockets. This can signal two things: she may be nervous or attempting to keep her coat closed. This behavior adds to the suspicion that she’s trying to conceal something, perhaps even stolen goods. Step 3: Analyze the Context Finally, take a step back and consider the context of each person. Everyone else is dressed casually and appropriately for the warm weather, which makes her heavy coat look even more out of place. Given the evidence, it’s reasonable to assume that this out-of-place attire signals she’s hiding something beneath it. The Answer: The Woman in the Coat is the Thief Did you guess it right? The woman wearing the heavy coat stands out as the most suspicious character in this scene. The combination of her odd clothing choice for the weather, her hidden hands, and the way she holds herself all point to her as the one concealing something. The answer is clear: the thief is person #1, the woman in the heavy coat.
