“I don’t think people suffered from acne until relatively recently as industrial seed oils became a prominent component of modern diets,” Juliana Lung wrote on Twitter. “If you look at images from the 80’s and 90’s, no one had acne.” It’s hard to know where to even begin with this absolutely bonkers take, as it is so fundamentally wrong on every conceivable level. Obviously, plenty of teens had acne back in the ’80s and ’90s, and linking this baseless idea to promote some pseudoscientific claim is pure nonsense....

RELATED: These Rooftop Tents Are Basically Take-Anywhere Tree Houses Under the Weather Pods are single-person, transparent tents targeted to sports parents and those who presumably prefer to see but not feel the outdoors. They stand 58-inches tall by 36-inches wide, rock a durable steel wire frame, and are covered by three-sides of water- and wind-resistant clear PVC. The company claims that once the doors/windows are closed, a person’s body heat can raise the temperature in the pod by up 30 degrees (so that’s a tailgating win)....

The appropriately named Eugene Goodman, an officer in the United States Capitol Police, was captured in a video taken by Huffington Post reporter Igor Bobic and posted while the takeover was happening. Bobic was inside the Capitol when he came upon Goodman, by himself, confronting a large crowd of rioters. In the video, it quickly becomes clear that Goodman, despite his best efforts, can’t keep the crowd back. He begins to retreat up the stairs, and the rioters, both in awe that they’ve made it this far and clueless about the layout of the building, just kind of follow him....

“Oh, no way! Oh my goodness!” the announcer exclaims in shock, as the player sinks his shot with less than 10 seconds left in the exhibition match, put on by the Filipino Basketball Association. The clip ends with a man, who’s presumably the winning team’s coach, sprinting onto the court, clearly stunned as he jumps around excitedly. And they weren’t the only ones wowed by the boy’s crazy moves—the video, which was posted Monday evening by the Raptors and simply captioned “EXTRA SAUCE!...

According to a report from the New York Times, the Welsh Government’s official position is that corporal punishment “is outdated and ineffective, and can have negative long-term effects.” Despite this, opposition to the prospective ban has arisen in the form of the parent advocacy group “Be Reasonable,” which insists that the government’s focus should be on strictly enforcing already existing protections against child abuse rather than “turn good parents into criminals....

“Good morning, Mahlet,” says one student to another at McMicken Heights Elementary School. “Good morning, Liliana,” the second student responds. The exercise continues briskly until all 23 students seated in a circle have been recognized; then the children stand and greet three classmates each with handshakes and solid eye contact. Next, a handful of students are chosen to ask questions of their peers. While the query can be basic, such as “What kinds of movies do you like?...

The 20-year-old runner already won a national championship for Oregon earlier this year, finishing first in the 1,500-meter run at the 2021 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Now, the ponytailed wonder has established himself as a favorite to win gold at the upcoming Olympics in Tokyo after besting Matt Centrowitz, won the gold medal for the 1,500-meter run at the 2016 Olympics. Centrowitz was out front for the final turn on Sunday but Hocker was able to capture the lead with an intense final sprint and finished in 3:35....

If you and the kids love space things, here’s what you need to know about the new mission to the moon, including how you can watch in real time. On Sunday, December 11, just after 2:30 a.m. EST, NASA launched a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. Inside that rocket was a small briefcase-size SmallSat, NASA’s Lunar Flashlight, which dispensed from the satellite 53 minutes after launch and en route to a four-month journey to the Moon....

First, you’ll to have to decide which of the two models of the WebCaster (I or II) is for you. Both look like glue guns from the local arts and craft store, use the same ‘ammo’ cartridges, and are designed to produce professional “movie quality cobweb effects” in the comfort of your own living room. The only difference is that one attaches to an air compressor (minimum 90psi with air tank), the other to your vacuum cleaner....

So, What Causes Hiccups? Hiccups happen when something causes your parasympathetic nervous system — the part of the nervous system that controls breathing — to short circuit. Especially important in this system are two nerves: The vagus nerve, which runs down the neck and has branches throughout the digestive system, and the phrenic nerve, which connects directly to the diaphragm, a flat sheet of muscle just below the lungs. Both nerves collect information about what’s happening in the body, then pass it along to the brain, says Shaheen Lakhan, M....

My daughter reacted with stone-faced outrage. It was pure, white-hot humorlessness. Like Margot Dumont clutching her pearls witnessing the Marx Brothers’ antics. Before I finished my sentence, she angrily asserted that the neighbors weren’t aliens, just regular people. Like many dads, humor is a big part of my parenting style. But I recognize that many jokes, like my tossed-off attempt above, entail risk. That joke could have felt like teasing....

The reason is simple: Home buying is complicated. There are a million questions to consider. It’s almost impossible to get everything right. So, it helps to hear advice from those who have already gone through the process. To offer a bit of assistance to anyone searching for a home right now, we spoke to a variety of parents and asked: What do you wish you knew about the home-buying process or did differently during your search?...

What Is Pitocin? Pitocin is a synthetic form of oxytocin, a hormone known for its role in bonding, cuddling, and sex that plays a significant role in childbirth and lactation. “The best-case scenario is natural labor, but that’s not always a reality,” says Daniel Roshan, M.D., a high-risk maternal-fetal medicine OBGYN and the founder of Rosh Maternal & Fetal Medicine. But about half of the time, natural labor doesn’t stay its course....

My daughter just turned eight months old. I thought having a kid would be a hell of a transition financially speaking. And, well, it is. But there were so many things my girlfriend and I did before having a kid that a kid doesn’t allow. So, we’re doing fine. We’re also just thinking about our finances in a bigger way. Kids force you to talk a big look at everything....

These one-page documents aren’t the kind of specific, comprehensive guidance the agency wanted to release. Those plans were scuttled by Trump administration officials concerned that they were too prescriptive and might impinge the recovery of the economy. That is very bad, as it essentially limits the advice that the federal experts can provide to the people on the front lines. The decision tree created for K-12 school administrators is typical of the six: useful as a starting point and not much else....

What Is Authoritative Parenting? One of the parenting styles commonly used in psychology today, authoritative parenting is based on work from the 1960s by University of California at Berkley psychologist Diana Baumrind. Her model categorizes parenting into three different styles: authoritarian, permissive, and authoritative. In the early 1980’s, social psychologists Maccoby and Martin expanded on Baumrind’s model by viewing styles through the lenses of demandingness and responsiveness. In this expanded model, a neglectful parent shows both low responsiveness to a child’s needs and demands very little — they may not enforce rules or give much consideration to a child’s needs....

Nearly instantly, business journalists around the world started publishing headlines that all said essentially the same thing: higher pay for workers is raising the cost of your burrito. CNBC declared, “Chipotle hikes prices to cover the cost of raising wages.” USA Today’s headline: “Chipotle raises prices after worker wage increase.” This is, in essence, true, but the cause and effect relation implied by many of these headlines is more than a little inaccurate....

As a general rule, you can expect your baby to purposefully wave “hi” or “bye” around 9 months of age, says Galena Rhoades, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at the University of Denver and director of the MotherWise program, a non-profit that provides support for pregnant people and new parents. “But there’s such a wide range,” Rhoades adds. It’s not uncommon to see a baby wave as early as 6 months or as late as 12 months....

“Adolescence begins with loss,” says Carl Pickhardt, psychologist and author of the book The Connected Father. “We lose that adoring and adorable child. And we’ll never have that little person that way again. What they lose is this perfectly idealized, wonderful parent.” The delta between perfection and reality is, as anyone who’s ever had a social interaction knows, where embarrassment breeds. Pickhardt explains that children’s exasperated sighs are squeezed from them by a natural shift in attitudes that occurs between the ages of 9 and 13....

According to Variety, now that COVID vaccines have been approved for children under 5 years old, Elmo — who is three-and-a-half — recently became eligible for his COVID shot. A new PSA featured the lovable red Muppet getting his shot to help reduce any fears kids may have about the needle. The segment was produced in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Academy of Pediatrics....
