The 15-stretch routine described here targets the major muscle groups and is pretty simple. A few ground rules: there’s no hard and fast time limit for each stretch, but 10 to 60 seconds is a good rule of thumb, erring on the longer side if you have the time. Stretch to your limit, but not to the point of pain. And start slow. The best time to do these static stretches is after a workout....
“You have rock-solid peer reviewed science which is then substantiated by 400 school districts around the country, and then we have independent economic analysis to show that there’s an economic benefit both to the school and to the overall economy,” says Senator Anthony Portantino, who sponsored the bill. “Local control, that was the main collective argument against it.” What precisely does that mean? It means that the California School Boards Association worked hard to make sure that California School Boards, not the legislators for the state of California, would get to determine schedules on a case-by-case basis....
The Voyager Station will be able to accommodate 280 guests and 112 staff members and will include the standard perks you’d expect from a high-end resort, including a gym, restaurant, concert hall, and a movie theater. Plus, you know, the fact that you are floating in space instead of spending a nice weekend in Scottsdale. “Be one of the first humans to vacation on a luxury space station,” OAC’s website reads....
Although the Tobey Maguire trilogy of Spidey flicks predated the explosion of Marvel studios (and what we think of as a “Marvel movie”) there’s no question that these films paved the way for what would become the cinematic superhero renaissance. Although most (correctly) have some issues with 2007’s Spider-Man 3 it’s tough to argue with the near-perfection of Spider-Man (2002) and Spider-Man 2 (2004). And, if you’re feeling nostalgic for these movies (and the moment in time when Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist Michael Chabon co-wrote a Spidey movie) there’s some good news!...
The IRS promised a few weeks ago that the payments would start coming in July, and that they would be periodical, but until this point, it wasn’t clear if they would be monthly, bi-monthly, and when, exactly, they’d start coming out. But now we finally know when parents can expect to receive their first payments. First, Make Sure You Check Your Mail The IRS said on Monday that it has begun sending letters to the 36 million families who are likely eligible for the credit, which one analysis suggested could cut child poverty in half....
To offer some perspective, we asked a handful of divorced men this exact question. Some answers were obvious; some were more surprising. All reflected honesty about the small and large things they wish they’d done more or less of. Here’s what they wish they would’ve done differently in their marriage. I Wish I’d Asked for More Help “When we were having problems, so many people reached out to help us....
In college and graduate school, I was the night owl who didn’t start his homework and projects until 10 o’clock at night, and stayed up until three in the morning. Even once I got out of school and residency, when I first opened my own practice, I used to watch The Tonight Show, and I’d stay up until 1 every night. I really only started to shift that schedule when I met my wife....
Recessions are a normal part of any economy, but, as Annie Lowrey argued in a recent article for The Atlantic, one generation in particular stands to get hit hard if another one were to come to pass: millennials. That’s right, the generation who graduated right into the depths of the Great Recession and saw a decade of essentially lost wages as a result is poised to get hit hard again....
He’s also got a new big-budget Netflix dramedy Red Notice, about an art thief (Gal Gadot), another art thief (Ryan Reynolds), and the FBI profiler hot on their trail. (Johnson). Next July, he plays vilified DC Comics antihero, Black Adam, out to clear his name. Johnson, a father of three, also found time to create Teremana tequila. It’s a great tequila (really!) It’s smooth, but with just enough of an edge....
“Yawning may have the dubious distinction of being the least understood common human behavior,” Robert Provine, professor of psychology and neuroscience, told NPR. Indeed, despite being a near-universal part of the human and animal experience, we’re still not even sure why we yawn in the first place. Physiological theories that yawns are a way of sucking oxygen into the bloodstream when we’re tired have been replaced in recent years with theories that yawns may function as cooling mechanisms for the brain....
How? With the help of Photoshop! Sharea said, “I’m a part of this group of incredibly talented photographers on Facebook. So, I decided to post the photo and asked people to photoshop some fun backgrounds into the photo. To make it look like he fell asleep while all these crazy things were going on,” according to CNN. You can see doctored images of Nate appearing to sleep while the Tiger King looms in the background, or pigs flying, even one infamous scene from Jaws....

These are 100 percent the same sunglasses that Daniel Craig wears in No Time to Die. These aren’t designed to look like the movie glasses, they’ve got a legit “007” engraved into the temple. Saks will ship the glasses, or if you’re near one of their stores, you can pick them up in person with contactless purchasing. There’s no word on any X-ray or laser functionality, but you never know, right?...
“If you’re in Michigan and 18+ pls for the love of god do not vote for my dad for state rep. Tell everyone,” she tweeted. After the tweet started to pick up on the platform, she added that she wanted everyone to google his beliefs and do their own research as to why she believed that he shouldn’t be supported as a candidate. Her dad, for his part, seemed unsurprised that her daughter had publicly come out against his beliefs, which include pro-life, anti-immigrant, pro-gun, pro-religion in public schools, making English an official language, and reinstating a “constitutional militia,” because they had always butted heads over his hyper-conservative beliefs....
The new photo looks like brightly speckled stars with thousands of bright spots with a few larger areas that shine brighter than the others. It almost looks like someone spilled a bowl of gliter onto a black floor and shined a light on it. But obviously, that’s not what we’re seeing. So what are we looking at? It’s not glitter, but a globular cluster called NGC 6355, an area of space approximately 50,000 light-years from Earth, according to European Space Agency (ESA)....
Pinworms are a distinct possibility — the intestinal parasite infects up to half of children between the ages of 5 and 10, and it is the most common parasitic infection in the U.S., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The white and narrow worms are incredibly contagious and can be passed through accidentally inhaling or ingesting the eggs. Once in a child’s body, the pinworm eggs stay in the intestines until they hatch and grow to full size (about half of an inch)....
Any reason to celebrate is a good enough reason – and we could all use more ways to find joy. With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, it’s time to start planning what to get for the person or people we cherish in our lives. While other holidays have big extravagant planning, this romantic one really just centers around two things: flowers and candy. While there’s not a lot of pressure on this day, not all candy is equal, and there’s one candy that’s favored most across the country....
The Miku starts with a wide 140-degree field of view, which means when mounted above the crib it sees your baby’s entire sleep area. An updated processor beams a lag-free view in real-time to your smartphone, and there is no cloud-based monitoring fee. But what sets the camera apart is the Live Breathing feature which shows an animation of the respirations — sort of like a bar graph. It also includes a motion sensor so you’ll get notifications when the baby wakes or falls asleep....
As with all toys from littleBits, the Electronic Music Inventor Kit centers around a number of “bits” — electronic components that kids assemble and write programs for. The ones in this kit include an accelerometer, micro sequencer, power module, speaker, wire, oscillator, proximity sensor, and keyboard (piano, not QWERTY). These components, plus a battery, mounting board, fasteners, and a sheet of stickers (because everyone loves stickers), can be assembled and reassembled into four different instruments....
That’s why we spoke with Trey Ryder, a prominent competitor and play-by-play commentator in the American Cornhole League (that’s right, there’s a American Cornhole League). Trey shared three cornhole strategies that will help anyone — from first time players, to bag-tossing pros — become the cornhole king of the neighborhood. Learn to Throw a “Flat Bag” To the casual player, cornhole seems easy. Set your feet and throw the bag underhand....
