Brooks had a lot of thoughts about the deficiencies of this system, and he shared them just a few months ago in an interview with Reconnect, a startup that seeks to use technology to make the probation system more efficient and humane. The video is difficult to watch now — his massive smile and optimism in spite of it all unbelievably sad — but his thoughts on the deficiencies of the system are spot on....

For the mother in the video, Sarah Saunders, sharing footage of the unusual delivery was vital: “I wanted to share this video to show that, if you are unable to give birth “naturally,” that having a natural cesarean is the next best thing,” Saunders said in the video’s description....
In the clip, Scratch (voiced by Dana Snyder) is trying to track down our former President to help him out after he gave Molly (Ashly Burch) some false information about Lincoln for her upcoming presentation in class.

How love and affection are expressed is as crucial as why they are expressed. And there are certain things that fathers specifically should be sure to say to — or within earshot of — their children. Specific declarations of love. Simple appreciations. Expressions of intentions that demonstrate appreciation without saying it outright. Vocalizing such things are important, as often they are assumed and therefore unmentioned or said in the same way over and over....

In a similar vein, recently I have become aware of a preponderance of studies that seek to answer the question, on a mass-scale, of “Who is happier: people with kids, or people without them?” For example, something like “Toddler Keeping You Awake? You’re Still Happier Than Non-Parents, Study Finds” might drift across my Facebook feed. And then I’ll hear the news that “Fatherhood Has a Huge Impact on Your Happiness, Studies Say....
“Most often dark circles are not due to lack of sleep or poor health,” says Alison Mitzner, M.D., a New York-based pediatrician. Mitzner notes that genetics and seasonal allergies are almost always to blame for bags under kids’ eyes. Nasal congestion from allergies restricts blood flow, making the veins under the eyes expand and darken. This results in dark circles under the eyes, which may be more visible in children with light skin....
What is Thrush? Thrush is a mouth infection that is caused by the type of common yeasts called candida. As Pediatrician Dr. Tracy Hall explains, “Thrush is most common in babies under four months of age because their immune systems have not yet gotten primed to recognize when oral yeast gets overgrown and needs to be fought off.” How Do Babies Get Thrush? When candida levels get too high, thrush infections can cause white or yellow patches to develop in the mouth....
“Visceral fat is fat found inside the abdomen — around and in the organs, like the liver, kidneys and so on,” Dr. Susan Besser of Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore told Fatherly. Visceral fat isn’t visible like subcutaneous fat, the kind of fat that can be seen. “However, a person with a larger belly probably also has visceral fat, and it is a risk factor for multiple health problems.” What Type of Parent Are You?...
But it is, and it’s one that can lead to more fulfillment and control over your schedule. No, switching jobs mid-career isn’t easy. It requires a lot of planning, resources, and a thick skin.

Especially if you feel stuck, there are paths to take....
And while promoting it, he learned that a certain kid, then 5, was obsessed with Deadpool but wasn’t allowed to see it due to such kid-friendly bon mots “crime-fighting shit swizzler” and “sandpaper dildo.” So the aforementioned Reynolds gifted the aforementioned child with a limited-edition (make that a zero edition, actually) Deadpool hoodie that you couldn’t buy in the real world, along with a matching backpack. To this day, they’re the kid’s most treasured possessions....
Meanwhile, men stay the same. We’re horny idiots looking for any excuse to interact with boobs before, during, and after pregnancy. But even the horniest and most stubborn dads quickly catch on to the fact that new mom boobs are off limits for them during the early days of motherhood. Your baby needs those breasts more than you. And, thanks to the radical hormonal changes they’ve undergone and the unpredictable nature of breastfeeding, breasts are often painful, achy, and sore for new moms....
NEISS numbers document just about every injury that makes it to the emergency room in the U.S. each year. NEISS sorts its data by demographic (age, sex, race) and also by injury type, with a complex series of item codes and body part codes. But within that dataset, there’s something far more valuable — or, at least, more entertaining — than broad public health trends. There’s information on precisely what items kids put into their bodies each year and where they put them....
Recently, Watts provided the grim details in a jailhouse interview; according to Watts, he murdered his family over a matter of hours, and the daughters understood what was happening, and what would befall them, as those hours passed.

As parents, it’s difficult to not copy and paste the faces of our own little ones into the grim, nauseating details and ask what would drive a man to kill his own family?...
