The DART mission will help scientists learn not only about defending the planet from large rocks, but they’re also hoping it will give more insight into asteroids in general. In layman’s terms, the theory behind the mission is to use a rocket to smash into the asteroid, moving the rock out of its trajectory just enough to knock it away from becoming a real threat to Earth. Now marks the perfect time to test the theory and equipment using the non-threatening asteroid Didymos and the small moonlet Dimorphos, which is close enough for the test to occur but not close enough to actually be a problem for Earthlings....

So, that leads to a big non-spoiler question: Does Wonder Woman 1984 have a post-credits scene? In the past, we’d tell you whether or not you could bolt for the bathroom with the kids, but this time around, we’re basically telling you whether or not you’re going to hit the off. button on the TV once the credits start rolling. Without spoiling anything in WW84, here’s the deal. WW84 does indeed have a post-credits scene....

“Everybody has a growth spurt, when the growth rate more than doubles over a year or two,” Dr. Alan Rogol, a University of Virginia pediatrician who studies growth at puberty, told Fatherly. “It’s always the same. What’s problematic is when it occurs. A little girl of 9 may have her growth spurt early or a boy may not have it until he’s 15 or 16, and he’s left behind by his peers....

Meet the Dream House outdoor tent, a heavy-duty canvas palace that’s like adding a new half-indoor half-outdoor room to your house. It’s a circular tent that comes in four different sizes: diameters of three, four, five, and six meters, respectively. In customary units, a bit of elementary school geometry tells us that the five-meter model has about 211 square feet of space. That’s enough to fit a king-sized bed and two twins....

Simply wanting or being ready to have a baby isn’t a guarantee that you’ll have one. Like most important things in life, fertility is complicated and requires a bit of strategy — and freezing sperm is one way to ensure you’ll be able to conceive a child when you’re ready.

As of Tuesday, July 7, the FDA’s order has now been vacated, and the school can use the ESDs should they want. On Tuesday, a federal court of appeals ruled that the FDA can’t block the school from utilizing the ESDs. They ruled that the “FDA lacks the statutory authority to ban a medical device for a particular use.” The facility claims that, since the introduction of the devices in the 1980s, they have been “a victory for the Judge Rotenberg Educational Center and a group of parents and guardians of its students....

Justin, I wouldn’t the panic button just yet. Some of the headlines about these FICO changes have tried to whip the public into a frenzy, alerting them that millions of consumers will see their credit scores take a big dip. What’s sometimes missing is the fact that a roughly equal number of people will see their numbers go up. The good news for you is that most of the folks in the latter category are consumers who, like you, are making on-time payments and keeping their balances in check....

According to a recent Pew study, the median percentage of primary and secondary students in European countries enrolled in at least one foreign language class is 92. Seven European countries can boast that 100 percent of their schoolchildren are learning a foreign language. In the U.S. however, only 20 percent of K-12 students are enrolled in a foreign language class. The U.S. could triple enrollment tomorrow and it would still be the worst of any country in the survey....

With some guidance I let each daughter choose her own plants and purpose for her plot. Their choices, both easy to grow and hard to kill, represented the best of what any child’s garden should be — full of forgiving plants that provide ongoing opportunities for harvest and exploration. My youngest is a voracious eater of berries of all kinds. Her garden, she decided, would be a place to grow them along with some favorite herb flavors....

Jackson posted the video on Instagram of them together and said, “That’s right Gigi, Daddy changed the world.” He added: “George Floyd the name of change.” Jackson has been right by the Floyd’s side through this tragedy and spoke alongside the Floyd family at a press conference at Minneapolis City Hall. When Roxie Washington, Gianna’s mother, said “Gianna does not have a father. He will never see her grow up, graduate…walk her down the aisle,” Jackson responded that he would always look out for the family....

And because of the bloody decorations — there looks like there’s a near half-gallon of fake blood on the sidewalk leading up to the house — Novak says that the cops have come by a couple of times a day since he put up the spooky sight. Apparently, over-the-top holiday decorations are Novak’s thing, and Halloween was not going to be an exception, he told the Dallas Observer. “I’ve always been up to hijinks like flying ghosts or 7-foot-tall snow sculptures of myself, so if I was gonna do Halloween, it was obvious that it should be hyperreal,” he says, not realizing that it’s very not obvious at all....

The takeover began on November 10 with an Instagram post shoring Madelynn doing homework and covering her face in shame because she knows the embarrassment that’s coming her way. The caption ends by urging her followers to “be on the look out for some amazing instagram posts, snap chats and Tiktoks from her parents!!” It’s a threat that her parents definitely followed through on. The next post on Madelynn’s Instagram was a selfie of her dad, a hero to fathers of teenagers everywhere....

Emotional manipulation by parents can lead to devastating consequences for children, leading to low self-esteem, anger, resentment, and shame. Ironically, shame and guilt are primary tactics of emotionally manipulative parents, according to experts. They lean heavily on guilt as a means of getting their way and will imply that, if their son or daughter (or son-in-law or daughter-in-law) isn’t complying, then it must be a sign that they don’t care....

Marriage is “putting two people together under the same roof and dumping all the problems of the world on top of their heads,” says DeFrain, professor emeritus of family studies at the University of Nebraska and the author of more than 20 books, including a study of strength and resilience of more than 30 families around the world that he co-authored with Sylvia Asay, Ph.D. “Society is set up to satisfy business interests, not family interests,” DeFrain, now in his 70s, continues....
