Monument‘s beauty is in its simplicity — a single thing designed to do a single thing, all in a clean little 6-inch-by-6-inch square. Take photos on your phone or camera, and Monument instantly imports them via WiFi sync (or less instantly through a built-in SD card reader). Once stored, Monument goes ahead and organizes everything, loging faces, places, dates, times, and familiar objects or settings. Don’t ask how, it just knows....
“There could be potential situations where fertility cycles or conception cycles would be more likely to occur during sex in the morning, in a very small subset of patients,” says Daniel Kort, M.D., an OB/GYN and reproductive endocrinologist at Neway Fertility. There are a number of less tangible reasons why morning sex might help some couples conceive and why it may be the best time to get pregnant. On a basic level, mixing up what time you have sex can increase the novelty and make them more likely to try again and again....
Nandi, from Ipswich, England, has been practicing her drumming skills since she was 6 years old. And in those three years, she’s become quite successful – she’s performed with Lenny Kravitz, has hung out with Questlove, and she’s been featured in an ad for a British retailer. She’s not your average run-of-the-mill 9-year-old, and her latest video proves this further. The tiny but mighty drummer recently uploaded a video of herself doing a cover of the 1991 Nirvana song “In Bloom,” and she is not playing around....
Earlier this year, the NASA Exoplanet Archive reported the number of exoplanets — which are planets found outside of our solar system — surpassed 5,000. It’s a notable number because the rate of discovery has been happening at record speeds. But, like the whole concept of space itself, trying to conceptualize how fast these amazing discoveries are being made isn’t easy. So, NASA decided to turn its data into sounds that accompany a map so we can hear and see how fast these new exoplanets are being discovered, starting with the first one in 1992....
For some 66,000 borrowers in most of the states across the country, the settlement signals a welcome reprieve from student loan debt payment that has dug many Millennials into a hole they may never be able to financially climb out of. But unfortunately, there are strict stipulations as to who qualifies for the forgiveness program. Here’s what to know. Who Qualifies for Forgiveness? The deal requires Navient to cancel debt for 66,000 borrowers and totals around $1....
Andy’s story might be familiar, but what goes on with new dads is profound. When a man becomes a dad, testosterone drops, oxytocin rises, sleep shifts. But that’s just the beginning. All these changes can lead to personality shifts — a rise in patience and empathy, vulnerability, and sadness. Postpartum depression for dads is a common experience. So is emotional maturity, the mellowing out of a man. Becoming a dad is a metamorphosis....
How To Use the Nose Frida The Nose Frida looks like a flexible straw and is used to slurp out your kid’s boogers. Yes, the concept is disgusting. It’s made of two parts: the body and the hose. The body is a tapered clear plastic tube that is inserted into the baby’s nose. The other end is attached to a thinner hose with a mouthpiece — yes, mouthpiece — through which the disgusted parent sucks out the snot....
Cities Are Cancelling Their Massive Celebrations Back in November NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that the legendary Times Square New Year’s Eve celebration would go on, a heavily advertised event that he walked back last week. The event will still take place, but instead of “Crowds will be kept to 15,000 people who must be fully vaccinated and masked. DeBlasio said the new ground rules would “keep the fully vaccinated crowd safe and healthy as we ring in the New Year....
At an event at George Washington University, Dr. Leana Wen said that “Cloth masks are little more than face decorations. There’s no place for them in light of Omicron,” per PEOPLE Magazine. She added that, at minimum, we should all be wearing “at least a three-ply surgical mask,” and that cloth masks on top of surgical masks can add extra protection. Other health experts have echoed Dr. Wen’s findings and suggested that, though cloth masks are better than being bare-faced, they are certainly not adequate protection against Omicron....
“I miss our boys,” I sighed. My wife looked at me, bemused. It took a moment for me to register what had just happened. Then it hit me: Before we left for our trip, I’d challenged us to not talk about our kids for the duration of the romantic four-day getaway. With my wistful admission to missing our children, I had fallen 12 hours short of the goal. It might seem callous of me to suggest that my wife and I, two engaged and caring parents, avoid speaking about our children....
What is Palforzia? Palforzia is a powder made of peanuts approved for kids ages 4-17 who have been diagnosed with a peanut allergy. The idea is for the child to build up a tolerance to peanuts, not to the point of being able to purposely eat peanuts but to protect them in case of accidental ingestion or contact. “When used in conjunction with peanut avoidance, Palforzia provides an FDA-approved treatment option to help reduce the risk of these allergic reactions in children with peanut allergy,” Peter Marks, the director of the FDA’s Centre for Biologics Evaluation and Research, wrote in a statement....
Great Pumpkin was released on television in 1966 and has become one of the most beloved Peanuts specials. The short film features the gang going trick-or-treating, Snoopy flying his doghouse to battle the Red Baron, and, most famously, Linus waiting for the mythical Great Pumpkin to appear. Guaraldi’s score is as essential to the Peanuts legacy as Charlie Brown falling for Lucy’s football trick or Linus’ security blanket and his Great Pumpkin music is among his most iconic work in the franchise, including “Linus and Lucy,” “The Great Pumpkin Waltz,” and the spooktacular “Graveyard Theme....
Enter… Chad, who’s super-chill, monosyllabic, and just stupid enough to take on the suicide mission. The whole sketch is funny, making the night’s best use of Musk, delivering top-notch visual effects, and recruiting musical guest Miley Cyrus to play Chad’s girlfriend, who’s got some big news to share with him before he sacrifices himself for all mankind. Among the sterling nuggets of dialogue, delivered with deadpan perfection by Davidson: “OK,” “Bye,” “No, thank you,” “Balls are sweaty....
According to Business Insider, Pfizer and Moderna have clinical trials underway of the vaccine’s efficacy and safety in kids under 12. Since March, both companies have been studying and collecting information on how the vaccine impacts kids under 12 years old and how effective it is in warding off the most severe risks of catching COVID-19. The publication reports that one of the “biggest hurdles to getting the population vaccinated” is ensuring there’s a vaccine available for children under 12....
We may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article. The watch is a variation on Bamford London’s GMT. It features a cushion-shaped 40mm case, a rotating inner bezel controlled by a second crown at 10 O’clock, and a GMT hand that, in this case, is a rocket initially designed by the Japanese graphic designer SK8THING for BBC in 2003, over a moonscape dial....
New research published recently in the journal Appetite from the University of Michigan School of Public Health goes a long way toward proving what smart parents have long suspected: Food harassment does not encourage kids to eat better. Arguments can inspire kids to double down on resistance or to avoid the family table or to resent their parents. What arguments don’t do is push kids toward the following thought: “I’d never considered vegetables from that perspective....
Pimple Pete is a two-person pimple-popping game targeted toward families with children 5 and up. You can either play one-on-one, taking turns to pull pimples out of Pete’s face until someone sets off the Mega-Zit, or you can add more players and earn points for each pimple you “pop” without bursting the Mega-Zit. Turn the spinner to choose an area, then select a squishy pimple from that area and carefully twist and wiggle the pimple out....
Podo Labs’ Jack is a seriously small clip-on device that resembles an older model iPod Nano and wirelessly syncs your headphones to your phone, stereo, Alexa, or any other Bluetooth-enabled device. All you do is plug in the in-line remote and enjoy the sweet high-def sounds of something other than VeggieTales. It runs for 12 hours on a single Mirco-USB charge and works with any existing pair of headphones. Cooler still, it works with more than just headphones....
“It’s great that you decided to breastfeed. But now she’s able to eat regular food and has teeth…she’s too old to be breastfeeding,” one user wrote. Fortunately, Jameson had no problem shutting down this pointless criticism immediately and quickly told her critic, “Babies get teeth as early as 3 months. And start solids at 6 months. Please try to educate yourself about breastfeeding into toddlerhood and how beneficial it is....
We really tried very hard to raise our children, and especially our boys, as young feminists. We are real believers in the idea that a feminist is not just a bra-burning women that march on Parliament all the time. We believe everyone should be a feminist, really. It’s just pro-equality. So we really kind of batter our children over their heads with that a little bit. We try and teach them stuff like: “There is no such thing as ‘boy colors’ and ‘girl colors,’ there are just colors....
