So, if you were the kind of person that thought the Infinity Stones were a little silly, and that the magic and spell-casting of Doctor Strange was a bit too Harry Potter for Marvel, prepare to have the wizards and witches take over! Not only has WandaVision established that Agatha Harkness is a centuries-old witch, who was almost burned-at-the-stake by other witches, but it’s also now established that Wanda’s powers don’t actually come from any kind of experimentation that happened while she was with Hydra....

ADHD with predominantly inattentive presentation, as it is officially called, is marked by trouble focusing, forgetfulness, disorganization, and what may come across as disinterest. Inattentive presentation is much more common in females than males, even though ADHD as a whole is diagnosed at least three times more often in boys than girls. “It’s the girl who sits in the back of the classroom staring out the window and the teacher thinks she is not interested or not very bright,” says psychiatrist Ned Hallowell, M....

Once Twitter got wind of the events, Schulte was given a nom de guerre, one of a number of dismissive sobriquets for entitled white women who patrol people of color. BBQ Becky was followed by such figures as Permit Patty and Central Park Karen, each a riff on the theme of racist quasi-distress — the discomfort of the privileged mistaken for an emergency. While the Karen meme has come to make fun of a particular type of middle-aged white woman who demands to speak to the manager, she falls into this taxonomy as well....

That sounds scary, and it is, but it’s important to remember that the majority of those who do get Coronavirus will either not be symptomatic or will experience mild to moderate, flu-like symptoms that don’t require hospitalization. Still, given that many people will still get sick, it’s important to know what the recovery rate for the Coronavirus is. That means not just how many people across the world have recovered, or how many have gotten sick, but also how long it takes to recover from the illness and what the fatality rate of the disease is....

Over the past few years, life expectancy of men in the United States has only dipped further. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the life expectancy for men was 75.1 years in the first half of 2020, down 1.2 years from the year before. So why is being a man in the richest country on Earth so bad for your health, and is there anything we can do about it?...

We all know the scene. In the original Star Wars, super smooth smuggler Han Solo agrees to transport Luke Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi to Alderaan, so they can get Princess Leia’s stolen Death Star plans safely into the hands of the Rebel Alliance. But as Han is getting ready to head to the Millennium Falcon, he’s stopped in the Mos Eisley Cantina by Greedo, the green bounty hunter who plans to take Han back to Jabba the Hutt and collect the price on his head....

“Many, many kids are typically developing their first words at a year of age and start combining words at 18 months or earlier,” says Toby Stephan of the Hanen Centre, an international organization devoted to promoting language, literacy, and social skills. “They will pick the words they hear most frequently and the words spoken with the most animation. So if you don’t want your kids to use cuss words, which is a nice goal, you would want to stop cussing before they are even a year of age....

pandemic: A third COVID-19 vaccine could soon be heading into American’s arms in a very short period of time. The Johnson & Johnson vaccine is vying for governmental approval. Here’s what you need to know about when you might be able to get it. Here’s When The Johnson & Johnson Vaccine Could Be Available Johnson & Johnson submitted an emergency use authorization application earlier this month from the Food and Drug Administration, and in a few weeks, on February 26, the FDA is set to meet with advisors to discuss the application and potentially approve the vaccine....

Okay, this wasn’t actually a question anyone really had, but hey, the nice people at Marvel went ahead and answered it for you anyway. In WandaVision Episode 8, we learned that Wanda’s favorite old-school sitcom was The Dick Van Dyke Show, and the specific episode she liked was from Season 2, Episode 21, which is called “It May Look Like a Walnut.” In WandaVision, little-kid Wanda talks about how this episode resolves itself because everyone realizes it was just a dream....

After all, the original Creed primarily related to the Rocky franchise in terms of characters much more than plot. Rocky is, of course, in every movie in the franchise but he has gone from fighter to mentor in this new series. Adonis Creed was not in the original series at all but his father, Apollo, played a massive role in the series as he transitioned from opponent to trusted ally....

“Children who learn and play in nature are healthier, happier and smarter,” Jennifer Bristol of Texas Children in Nature, a program within Texas Parks and Wildlife, told Fatherly. Besides the numerous health benefits, studies suggest “they perform better in school, they have higher levels of self discipline, they are more cooperative with others, better problem solvers, more creative, feel more connected with nature, and become tomorrow’s conservation stewards.” So why is this the case?...

Today, there are significant gaps in fathering between Canadians and Americans. Canadian dads spend significantly more time taking care of their children than their American counterparts. For example, Canadian fathers spend an average of 14 hours on child care each week, while American fathers average about 8 hours a week. As a sociologist and Canadian studies scholar, I am interested in how social policies affect fatherhood in different countries. I collected data on more than 5,000 men in the two nations from 2016 to 2018 for my upcoming book on the similarities and differences between American and Canadian dads....

Our doctors and nurses were no better. Nobody declines an ultrasound, one nurse informed us as we sat, resolute, in a Westchester medical office. They’re simple and painless! You can frame the chalky images and show off your insectoid blob of a legacy! Second trimester ultrasounds, she added, can catch defects that modern medicine can sometimes fix. One well-timed ultrasound could save a life. She was right, of course. “But,” I asked....

Here’s what the science has to say about your freezing-cold wife: She Has Less Blood in Her Extremities When you get cold, the blood vessels in your hands and feet constrict to redirect blood flow (and heat) toward the center of your body, keeping your most vital organs toasty. Since women tend to have less blood to begin with, this redirection happens faster and leaves their fingers and toes particularly cold....

The original vote that was overturned last night was 9-0, in favor of returning to the pre-pandemic National School Lunch Program that provides free and reduced-price lunches to eligible students, ensuring they will not accrue school lunch debt this year. The NSLP requires an application completed by a parent, which isn’t always an easy or possible ask. It also has income requirements, and students whose families make just a bit too much can slip through the cracks....

Located 3 hours from London, the Longleat hedge maze is the world’s longest maze of it’s kind. The twisting, turning, meticulously kept, nearly 2-mile creation is made of 16,000 English yew bushes. The 8-foot hedges wind around a central observation tower that serves as your one focal point of the exit.

Shortly after Watson’s video, which showed him expressing horror at the phenomenon, climbed the Reddit rankings, media organizations and advertisers responded. The Verge reported that Epic Games, the company behind Fortnite, pulled their pre-roll ads from YouTube after Watson’s post went viral and Peloton, the indoor exercise bike company said they were working to figure out why their ads were being pushed against inappropriate content. YouTube also responded, updating its “channel strike system....

According to Business Insider, the Debt Collective—a debtor’s union pushing for the abolishment of all forms of debt—announced that its sister organization, the Rolling Jubilee Fund, wiped out student loans for over 7,000 students that previously attended Vista College. Vista was a for-profit school that was shut down and declared bankruptcy after it was included on a list from the Federal Trade Commission for reportedly making false claims to students....

Though ostensibly focused on the 6-year-old titular Bluey and little sister Bingo, goofball dad Bandit and resourceful mom Chilli are never far from the action. Said “action” generally focuses on everyday rather than elaborate fantasy. This is a show that can transform waiting for takeout or a frustrating IKEA assembly into a clinic in empathetic parenting. In its magic-in-the-mundane heart, Bluey has more in common with Seinfeld‘s “show about nothing” ethos than its animated contemporaries....
