We have been telling people for five years through our work and our organization Mobility WOD that if you want to take yourself seriously as a human being, you can’t sit all the time. RELATED: Stretches To Undo the Damage of Sitting All Day For years, we’ve been recommending standing desks to adults. This is part of our practice and it’s a part of what we recommend to our clients....
Since the early 2000s, University of Texas at Austin Professor Lisa Neff has explored how factors outside of relationships determine the long-term success of relationships over time. While previous relationship research focused on couples’ personality traits and behavior within the marriage, Neff pulled the camera back for a broader view of how couples relate to the world. In two longitudinal studies, she tracked more than 250 couples during their first four years of marriage to understand how factors underlie successful relationships and to learn how outside stress, from work, financial difficulties, and family problems, affects relationships....
For Dustin Artz, a dad of one from Virginia and small business owner, losing what little free-time he had to himself before becoming a father was particularly tough. A natural introvert, Dustin realized he needed a few moments to decompress during those first years of raising his son. So he started going to one place every parent knows as the quiet place: the bathroom. Yes, the bathroom. Here’s why it helped him be a better dad....
It may seem strange, and even misguided, to praise an actor worth around $150 million bucks to take time off. But, it’s also uncommon for men to take time off at all. And it’s uniquely uncommon to hear about men taking huge chunks of time off to spend time with kids. Yes, Reynolds’ decision to step back from work is “insanely privileged” (his words), but it’s also laudable — a part of the self-awareness that continues to make him one of the most likable rich guys on the planet....
With all of our spider-senses tingling around the release of No Way Home, we wanted to delve a bit into just why your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man–and his widening family of spider-folk–has maintained his appeal among both younger kids and teenagers for nearly sixty years. Spider-Man is a Kid… First and foremost, Peter Parker is a kid when he becomes Spider-Man. In Stan Lee and Steve Ditko’s classic origin story in Amazing Fantasy #15, fifteen-year-old Peter Parker gets bitten by a radioactive spider....
The outburst reveals that Kendall is a monster. But the impetus of his rage reveals a known truth: Many adults hate when their spouse picks stuff of them, wipes their face, smoothes down their collar, or futzes with their appearance in any way — especially in public. But why does such an seemingly intimate, protective moment provoke such rage in so many people? And why are some of us so compelled to do it anyway?...
In mid-August, the Biden administration announced that they, alongside government medical officials, recommended booster shots for people who were already fully vaccinated against COVID-19 The recommendation of a booster was targeted in order of people who had been vaccinated first. The Biden administration suggested that Americans get another dose around 8 months after their second dose. But since the recommendation, the FDA has yet to weigh in on whether or not they will recommend the boosters for Americans....
“This is an embroidered fleece sweater for your favorite elf,” writes the shop owner in the item description. “It will keep him/her warm on those cold nights before Santa comes.” Each of the sets, which come in four different colors, costs $12 and includes a homemade fleece sweater and scarf. To be clear, these are sweaters and scarves for existing Elf on the Shelf elves, not entirely new elves that look like Harry Potter characters....
Axios on Wednesday, May 20th, Dr. Anthony Fauci, who has been a public-facing leader on the United States’ response to COVID-19, stated that kids as young as four could be approved to get the COVID-19 vaccine by the end of 2021 or by early 2022 at the latest. At the event, he said that kids that young “would likely be able to get vaccinated by the time we reach the end of calendar year 2021 and at the latest, into the first quarter of 2022,” per NPR....
If you are looking to get a physical copy of Endgame to add to your extensive Blu-ray collection, you’ll have to wait a bit, as it won’t be available to purchase until August 13.
Let’s set this up, just in case you’ve not seen Deadly Illusions yet. Bestselling author Mary Morrison (Kristin Davis) feels pressured by everyone around her, including her publisher and her husband (Dermot Mulroney as Tom), to write a new entry in an ongoing book series. Everyone needs the major money her novels generate, but terrible things seem to happen each time she’s done so, thus her reluctance to put pen to paper....
Now, tracking divorce statistics is complicated for numerous reasons. And other studies suggest that March and August are when divorce filings peak. But, Google trends for “divorce” often spike around January and divorce lawyers note that there’s always a steep increase in interest about the divorce process during the first month of the year. “I always get a lot of questions about the so-called ‘New Year’s Resolution Divorce,’” says Eric Solotoff, co-chair of the Family Law Department at the law firm Fox Rothschild....
“An epic five-part series narrated by President Barack Obama that invites viewers to celebrate and discover the power of our planet’s greatest national parks and wild spaces,” the documentary description reads. “A fish that can walk. Surfing hippos that want to catch the waves. Species found nowhere else on earth,” Barack says in a voice-over on the trailer. “When humanity started to protect these wild places, we did not realize how important they would become: They’re a haven for endangered species and a hotbed for scientific research....
Why? Several reasons. Raya – which features the Star Wars actress Kelly Marie Tran as the voice of the titular heroine (Raya, not the dragon!) — is a Disney animated film, and Disney historically rules the animated roost. Early projections assumed a box office take north of $10 million, and Raya fell almost 15% shy of that. Also, Tom & Jerry, which opened last weekend, grossed $14.1 million, which brought joy to the industry, especially theater owners....
Paschal dressed up as Chuckie Finster, the beloved ginger best friend of Tommy Pickles on Rugrats, one of the seminal television programs of its generation. Every detail was spot on: red sneakers, yellow socks, green pants with some kind of abstract pattern, a blue shirt with a generic planet on it, and purple square glasses. And luckily, Paschal already has the curly red locks to complete the outfit. His mom Lainey told Romper that his hair “made it that much more of a reason to do” a Chucky costume, but his personality, what she calls “such a sweet disposition” also matched Chuckie’s and made the costume an even more obvious choice....
Not the case with two new Star Wars micro-series! On May 4th, 2021, Disney+ dropped Star Wars: Biomes and Star Wars: Vehicle Flythroughs. Of these two, I can strongly recommend watching Star Wars: Biomes with a child as young as 3-years-old. My almost-4-year-old and I watched all 18 minutes of Star Wars: Biomes and were utterly memorized. What is it? Well if you haven’t already clicked over to Disney+ to see for yourself, Biomes is like a calming bird’s-eye view of various Star Wars planets....
I watched Springer religiously in my early to mid-20’s during a period that might be considered the “golden age” of the show. This was back when chief security officer Steve Wilko was emerging as a reluctant celebrity for his role in breaking up the increasingly predictable fist fights. My job at the time allowed me to hole up with my housemates on lazy afternoons to smoke weed and watch afternoon TV....
Arriving as they have during the COVID-19 pandemic, it can feel like the Bibilical plagues keep coming — one massive, intractable problem after another. But it’s not the Bible that predicted mankind’s current predicament. It’s another holy text: The Simpsons. Improve comedian Eddie D’ohgrou tweeted out a brief clip from “Marge in Chains,” a 1993 episode in which the “Osaka flu” hits Springfield. A panicked crowd appears outside Dr. Hibbert’s office, demanding a cure....
Now that theatrical movie releases have become the norm again, many of us marked our calendars for July 6 when the sequel to Ragnarok, Love and Thunder, had its theater release with many of the same cast and characters returning for more adventures. Natalie Portman returns as Jane Foster, and of course, Chris Hemsworth as the God of Thunder and it’s a mix of comedy, romance, and twists, according to Fatherly’s review....
In WandaVision Episode 6, “All-New Halloween Spooktakular!” a moment that has been teased-out since the first trailers has finally arrived: Wanda is rocking her old-school Scarlet Witch costume from Silver Age of the Marvel comic book universe. This, doubtlessly, will make a lot of comic book fans happy, but in the context of the story of WandaVision what does it mean? The easy answer is: Nothing. This is just a Marvel Eater egg and a nod to WandaVision having fun with old-school comic book stuff....
