Science Names For Boys These guys rocked some serious science, peace and literature accomplishments. They had dope names, too. Werner For: Werner Heisenberg Why: Totally discovered the underlying principles of quantum mechanics and, if you’re feeling lowbrow (or talking to Bryan Cranston), you can claim a roundabout reference to Breaking Bad. Kofi For: Kofi Annan Why: Dude shared his peace prize with the entire United Nations, of which he was the Secretary General at the time....

Some of the best sports speeches seemingly apply to every situation: the thrill of victory, the agony of defeat, the importance of teamwork, and the discipline required to reach great heights. With this in mind, we gathered some of the best inspirational speeches available on YouTube, delivered by pro athletes, coaches, and even a little kid who dropped some knowledge after taking a tumble off his bike. Don’t be surprised to find yourself fired up and ready for another attempt, whether that’s in the boardroom or batting cages....

Turns out, there are a lot of similarities between the everyday trials of running a small upstate New York paper company and being the parent of real-life tiny humans. Like it or not, running after kids all day and keeping track of their schedules and snacks turns even the most organized parent into a bumbling Michael Scott by bedtime. With that in mind, please enjoy these The Office quotes that clearly parallel the everyday tortures (and insurmountable joys) of parenting....

Contact is, if you squint, a Matthew McConaughey movie, that doesn’t really feel like a Matthew McConaughey movie. Because McConaughey visited very similar material in the 2014 sci-fi epic Interstellar, it’s tempting to think of Contact as a trail run for that movie. But, as great as Interstellar is, of the two McConaughey sci-fi epics, Contact is the more timeless film, thanks in large part to Jodie Foster’s excellent performance combined with Zemeckis’s expert and heartfelt direction....

In December of 2012, I became a Stay-at-home dad (SAHD). While I expected certain difficulties in the transition between being a full time worker and a SAHD, there are issues I didn’t see coming. Most of those issues surround the relatively small number of dads who stay at home compared the the number of moms who do the same. What was once a shoddy premise for a lame 80s comedy is now reality for at least 1....

According to the Centers for Disease Control, the birth rate is lower now than it has been since the mid-1980s. That might make sense in perspective of the Great Recession, but the odd thing about the prolonged decade of declining birth rates is that those rates generally rebound with the economy. That hasn’t been the case this time around, despite an economy that appears to be on an indefatigable upward trend....

The following five books are the best of the best of children’s picture books about transgender identity.

The Blue Smart Mia The BlueSmart Mia Smart Baby Feeding System is a sleeve-and-app combo that slips onto most baby bottles to track the content’s temperature, your child’s feeding, and a host of other data, including alerts for milk expiration, meal times, and more. Once connected, the proprietary app monitors and records that data, which can be shared with your pediatrician on your next visit. For parents that are especially concerned with growth of undersized or premature infants — or anyone tired of logging feedings by hand — it’s an important tool....

So if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em. While your kid may not come up with the most clever of poop jokes, hilarious punchlines and comical puns about poop do exist. Here are a few genuinely funny ones guaranteed to delight your kids and even make you chuckle....

Why are the Kia cars being recalled? According to a release by the NHTSA, 70,000 additional Kia vehicles have been recalled, expanding on already known issues spanning back to February of this year. Like previous recalls, the latest are fire-related concerns as well, all linked to faulty circuit boards, the recall notes. “A fire may occur in the area of the tow hitch harness module while driving or while the vehicle is parked with the ignition off,” the notice reads....

They can make your family sick. Alison Osinski, an aquatic expert with a Ph.D. in aquatics and an aquatic consulting business who’s worked at water parks, hotels, municipal parks, private homes, and pretty much anywhere else you might find a swimming pool. She says that the above-ground pools you install yourself often come with inadequate sanitation and filtration systems or no systems at all. “The problem with these is the lack of circulation and water treatment, and the big problem with that is disease transmission....

It’s no wonder, then, that more women are trying acupuncture during pregnancy, when they’re often achy, nauseous, and stressed. A small but growing number of moms-to-be are also receiving it during childbirth, something the Chinese have done for millennia. Acupuncture, along with acupressure, which targets the same points but doesn’t use needles, has been shown to induce labor, reduce pain, and help push that baby out. RELATED: The Argument Against Using Homeopathic And Natural Medicine With Your Kid “So far, there is no evidence of any harms in using acupuncture for healthy, low-risk pregnant women,” says Rebecca Dekker, Ph....

“Our results have revealed the importance of developing different prevention methods for reactive and proactive aggression, specifically by offering support to families and providing interventions in schools,” study co-author Stéphane Paquin, a Ph.D. candidate in sociology at Université de Montréal, said in a statement. According to past research, there are two types of aggression based on their function — proactive and reactive. Proactive aggression refers to aggressive behavior for the purpose of personal gain (often at the expense of others), while reactive aggression is a defensive reaction to a perceived threat....

But while stimulus payments and expanded unemployment insurance certainly helped many among the working class survive, those at the top received a disproportionate share of the benefits. Most Americans, according to the Wall Street Journal, gained wealth during the pandemic. But 70 percent of that $13.5 trillion went to the top 20 percent and a third of it went to the top one percent. The benefits, in other words, were heavily distributed among the rich, another example of the reality that it’s much easier to accumulate wealth if you already have some....

Loathe to take anything stronger than over-the-counter meds, I initially toughed it out. But here’s the thing: When you’re a working parent, toughing it out hurts — a lot — because a job has to be done and kids need to be fed and groceries need to be carried. Lounging around with all the vigor of Homer Simpson wasn’t a viable alternative. I had to get this fixed. I am not a doctor....

According to CNN, the vessel was accidentally discovered at 1,350 feet below the surface while archeologists were on a government research mission to map the 140-square-mile lake bed. The shipwreck is near-pristine and dates back to somewhere after the 1300s, and is believed to have gone down due to bad weather, given its location in the middle of the lake. The sonar images show the unique look of the vessel, which is distinctive of a “clinker-built” ship, a traditional Norse boatbuilding method during that time, LiveScience explains....
