Well, as a concerned husband, the most obvious answer is the correct one: talk to her. What’s important, however, is how you approach the situation. What you say has to dig deeper than the standard line of interrogation, which involves a little delicacy and diplomacy on your part. Asking the right questions and saying the right things. So if you want to take the pulse of your marriage — which you should do frequently anyway, right?...

According to the Texas Tribune, the plaintiff in the lawsuit includes seven students, six boys, and a nonbinary student. Their ages range from 7 to 17 years old, and all attend the Magnolia Independent School District (ISD). The rule reportedly breaks the 14th Amendment and violates Title IX, which states discrimination on the basis of sex is prohibited — in this case, a rule based on gender and hair would be breaking Title IX....

The research, published in the journal Experimental Physiology, found that wake/sleep cycles have major connections to metabolism. Specifically, a person’s chronotype (whether they’re an early bird or night owl) is linked to how their body burns fats and carbohydrates. The researchers found that early risers were more adept at burning fat for fuel during exercise and while at rest. Early birds were also more insulin-sensitive, meaning that the cells in their body were better at using blood glucose, keeping down their blood sugar levels....

“I feel like we’re just doing the same thing over and over again,” she says. “Every day.” Hurst is hardly alone. Parents across the world say their emotional stores have never been lower. The adjectives used in describing their lives tell the story: “Exhausted.” “Drained.” Gutted.” “Zapped.” “Last week I picked up the phone to four parents in tears on a single day,” says parenting coach Elaine Taylor-Klaus. No one thought life under a pandemic would be cheerful....

The documentary charts the entire history of the music of Bond, starting with Monty Norman’s theme, to John Barry’s propulsive scores, as well as amazing stories behind several James Bond theme songs, from Shirley Bassey singing “Goldfinger,” to Tom Jones passing out while singing the high note in “Thunderball,” to Duran Duran getting into fights with Barry about the recording of “A View to a Kill.” Make no mistake, this isn’t a puff piece, The Sound of 007 gets into the not-so-great Bond songs, and behind-the-scenes conflicts, too....

Most parents haul their children to zoos so they can see or pet animals, but Jack Gilbert had a different goal in mind when he recently took his son Dylan to the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago. When one of the dolphins there pressed up against him, Dylan, then 8, stuck a swab in its mouth to obtain bacteria samples. “He’s been doing microbiotic research for years,” Gilbert jokes. “He’s gone through the house wiping swabs of bacteria off various places....

This story was submitted by a Fatherly reader. Opinions expressed in the story do not reflect the opinions of Fatherly as a publication. The fact that we’re printing the story does, however, reflect a belief that it is an interesting and worthwhile read....

Either way won’t cost you anything — all U.S. airlines and most international ones allow them on board free of charge. But other than being the victim of kiddie projectile vomiting, nothing can wreck your trip more effectively than finding your car seat shredded from its time in the hold. The key to avoiding that fate is to invest in a durable, solid car seat travel bag that keeps it safe from scratches, dents, water damage, and other nastiness....

“Wow,” Ribisi says, pausing to think during a recent, exclusive Zoom call with Fatherly. “It depends on what city I’m in. In New York, it’s Boiler Room. In Italy or Europe, it’s Friends. For the most part, it depends, usually, on what you’ve got coming out at that moment, I guess. That’s an interesting question.”Ribisi’s latest project is the Paramount+ 10-episode limited series, The Offer, which begins streaming on April 28....

Previous climate research has found that methane, one of the most formidable greenhouse gasses, is responsible for 30% to 50% of the global temperature increase. Most methane comes from the oil and gas industry, livestock production, landfills, and coal mining operations. The global mapping project, run by an international research team working under Laboratoire des Sciences du Climat et de l’Environnement (CNRS / CEA / UVSQ) and the data analysis firm Kayrros, has found methane leaks from major gas and oil sites around the world....

Pointing to British rock bands like Led Zeppelin, the Rolling Stones, and the Beatles, who clearly count among the best British and probably rock bands in the world, Hank asked what rockers across the pond deserve a space among the greats. Twitter spouted off with answers. Azaria came into the debate with bias already, stating that he already knew who he thought earned the spot, but still, the debate was fierce....

There are warnings every year that instruct parents to take a closer look at their children’s Halloween candy and what to look out, which can be anxiety-inducing. The laundry list of things that could harm your children seems to get longer every year. They could be getting marijuana edibles instead of candy (though this warning was ruthlessly mocked on the Internet). They could trip while running and hurt themselves. They could run out of your sight as it’s getting dark out....

But here’s the problem: While the popularity around STEM toys is skyrocketing, the research around their efficacy is lagging behind sales. So while toy companies are happy to promote a toy linked to Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, there’s little evidence to suggest the toy is good at teaching a child anything about those subjects. But that’s not the only harsh truth about STEM toys, requiring parents to be both more vigilant and thoughtful....

On the most basic level, havening means hugging or caressing yourself, sometimes while voicing positive affirmations. On a more technical level, it’s using self-soothing to induce “amygdala depotentiation,” which essentially means reining in and retraining the emotional part of the brain that kicks us into fight-or-flight mode and causes anxiety. There’s no denying it’s touchy-feely stuff. But it’s got the backing of real science and enthusiastic experts. Here’s why....

However, companies and workers have had to jump headfirst into this new reality and make it work. Companies and their workers have shifted their every day to accommodate working from home, there has been extended flexibility given to parents who now have to dual duty their work and home life, losing all balance and doing the best they can. There have been some amazing stories of companies doing just that, but unfortunately, not everyone has the support from work—including Dris Wallace, a blogger from San Diego, who worked full-time in the financial industry....

Here’s how you can still watch the missing Looney Tunes episodes on streaming, but also why you should seriously consider physical media as the longterm solution to the attrition caused by the streaming wars. A decade or so ago, the seductive promise of streaming was that it would seemingly make pretty much everything available at the press of a button. Streaming would liberate audiences from the tyranny of physical media and having to buy and/or rent breakable, expensive, limited DVDs and Blu-Rays....

Based on data from the United States Census, this list shows the median household income in each state, as well as calculating the minimum amount a household needs to earn each year to be in the top 5%. For the most part, there was a clear correlation between the median income and the wealthy income. Most of the states with the highest threshold for wealth are fairly predictable, as it shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that you need to be making over $250,000 annually to be in the top 5 percent in places like California, Hawaii, and New York....

And, it appears that Netflix is on the joke! Starting on October 1, 2021, Seinfeld will air all 180 episodes of the series on the platform. Previously, Seinfeld has been on Hulu, which means you probably had to watch it with commercials. But, now, on Netflix, you don’t! If you somehow have never watched Seinfeld or you’re only vaguely aware of it, it’s the show that was created by Larry David from Curb Your Enthusiasm and Jerry Seinfeld, who now drives around with Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee....

After the Congressional Budget Office released its analysis of the bill, estimating that it would actually decrease the deficit over the next decade, enough conservative House Democrats signaled that they would vote yes to bring the bill to a vote on Thursday night. House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy interrupted those plans with a record-breaking eight-and-a-half hour airing of grievances that lasted through the night, delaying the vote until Friday morning when it passed 220-213....

According to a working paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research, the increase in remote work drove the increase in prices for larger homes that came with more comfortable workspaces. The paper found specifically that regions that had the highest rates of remote work had a much larger home price growth between December 2019 and November 2021. The paper also found that the impact of demand due to remote work had an “almost identical” effect on the rise in rent prices....
