Teaching is key when it comes to the safety of baby products, many of which have very specific uses. In the case of the Rock ‘n Play, the specific use was to help a baby “soothe and snooze in comfort while the inclined sleeper gently rocks on its own all night long!” according to a product description from January 2018. Unfortunately, it should never have been used for that purpose because that’s not how babies should sleep....
Pandas struggle to mate naturally so much that some zookeepers have shown giant pandas videos of other pandas having sex, as if that might help them figure it out. Add that to the fact that female giant pandas are only fertile for one to three days out of the year, and the mating problem is compounded. Many zookeepers also resort to artificial insemination of female pandas, which is not as successful as natural mating....
A few months later, there I was: camped out alone on a gravel-bar island in the Allegheny River, listening to a black bear sniff around my rowboat during a lull between thunderstorms in the middle of the night. (I’d rowed past a better campsite earlier in the day to avoid a trio of men drinking beer in the back seat of a sedan that had been sawed in half and towed to the riverbank....
Barbie has become infamous for her unrealistic and patriarchy-fueling beauty standards, but there is also a basic issue with Ken’s anatomy: he doesn’t have a penis. A new feature in Jezebel about Ken’s dicklessness tells the story about how what is (and isn’t) between Ken’s legs was decided. Corporate Squeamishness Ruth Handler, the inventor of the Barbie, fought her husband and the rest of the design team at Mattel to ensure the doll had breasts, and she had similar hopes that Ken would “at least have a bulge....
Meet The Linda Lindas, a punk group with 10-year-old Mila, 13-year-old Eloise, 14-year-old Lucia, and 16-year-old Bela. They’re not your average punk band. These are tween and teen girls who aren’t afraid to speak up. They’re the next big thing, the coolest kids in school, and their latest song has caught the attention of millions of people. Playing at the Los Angeles Public Library on May 4 to honor its Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, the group of half-Asian, half-Latinx musicians performed a new original track, “Racist Sexist Boy,” in the concert....
Christian was a rock for me. Because we lived right across from each other we would see each other almost everyday. While we only met in our late twenties Christian very quickly became one of my closest male confidants. I told Christian everything and vice versa. We both struggled with inner demons and many of them overlapped. I hindsight, I know this to be the reason why we became so close so quickly....
Because it’s hard to determine comfort when you’re shopping online, we asked 11 men to tell us the most comfortable shoe they’ve ever bought. Some recommended classics (converse; pumas). Others, with more than a few qualifiers, recommended pure-comfort footwear like Crocs, Tom’s Shoes, and, yes, those dad-classics, Tevas. Still others recommended yard shoes and golf shoes that keep their feet warm and comfortable all day when they’re doing what they love....
Players from both teams were given PB&Js during the extended halftime and according to NBC Sports’ Michelle Tafoya, a few Bills and Chiefs players complained to her during the delay that there was “too much peanut butter” on the sandwiches, with the reported amount being about 70 percent peanut butter and 30 percent jelly. From there, the team of Drew Brees, Tony Dungy, and Mike Tirico offered up their own PB&J takes....
There’s a plot, convoluted as always, with the psycho high-tech terrorist Cipher (Charlize Theron) causing trouble again for Dom (Vin Diesel) and his crew, which includes Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), Roman (Tyrese Gibson), Tej (Ludacris), Mia (Jordana Brewster) and Ramsey (Nathalie Emmanuel). Meanwhile, the plane belonging to Mr. Nobody (Kurt Russell), who has captured Cipher, goes missing, and Dom figures out who’s behind it: his long-estranged brother, Jakob (John Cena), who can drive, fight and glare just as well as his sibling....
The set comes with a tiny Owen figurine, a three-story base station and an ATV, all made out of plastic. But the obvious star of the show is the more than two-and-a-half-foot long T. Rex. The dinosaur is outfitted with headgear and a harness, and there’s a place on top of her skull for the Owen figurine (or any other Imaginext figurine) to stand. Twist him to see her eyes light up and hear her roar....
Say goodbye to that Oldsmobile of a baby stroller your parents gifted you; the Spring weighs in at a mere 22 pounds—the lightest stroller the company makes—which feels more akin to a leaned-out, track-ready Shelby Mustang. Also, with its three-wheeled design, it corners on a dime for precision maneuvering when needed. Another thing we loved was its one-handed fast-folding frame, which allows you to balance a baby in one arm and snap that sucker closed with your other....
In a surreal and shockingly unexpected sketch, Chalamet plays a young farmhand who has to bid goodbye to his “tiny horse.” Other than a joke which suggests that the Tiny Horse will get married to AOC, this sketch avoids the animal-fucking jokes you’re kind of bracing for. SNL, as a rule, is kind of hit or miss, and the “Tiny Horse” sketch could have easily been a miss had it just gone for the obvious route....
This thing, from Little Tikes — they famously make durable-as-hell toys for kids, including one indestructible outdoor baby swing — is pure brilliance. Nay, it goes beyond even pure brilliance. It takes the joys of getting wet and dirty, both integral parts of summer, and adds the element of foam. How does it work? It’s elementary, dear Watson. You build the table and stand, install the blower and adapter, connect the blower to the pump, and add the nontoxic foam solution....
\LendingTree insurance research site ValuePenguin commissioned Qualtrics Analysts to compile data from the National Electronic Injury Surveillance System (NEISS), which is available through the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, to find the number of people treated in emergency departments for toy injuries. According to the data, the good news is that there has been a sharp decline in the number of toy-related injuries. “There were nearly 165,000 toy injuries in 2020 that sent people to an emergency department, a 27 percent drop from 2019,” the analysis says....
Why It Works The jacket is well-tailored to fit Noah’s body. A jacket that fits looks good: There are few exceptions to this rule.He lets the jacket stand out as the statement piece it is — with no accessories to draw attention away from it.A double breasted blazer is more formal and has that extra fabric to stand out — when it pops in pink. How You Can Make It Work Take a queue from Noah and let the jacket make the boldest statement....
Our next pregnancy filled me with cautious optimism, rather than the head-over-heels joy I’d felt the first time. Everything was step-by-step. Heartbeat. Yes. Normal heartbeat. Even better. Eight weeks, 10 weeks, 12, 20. Then 22. That’s when things started to go wrong. There were signs our Sweet Marie was coming to meet us too soon — way too soon. And she was small. This story was submitted by a Fatherly reader....
Bruce Willis is a Hollywood staple. He’s one of the original action stars and he’s been around since the early ‘80s. His catalogue of movies is impressive, and many of the titles have become classics. The Die Hard franchise, there was Pulp Fiction and 12 Monkeys. Can’t forget The Fifth Element, Armageddon, or The Sixth Sense, too. He’s no stranger to accolades either. He’s won People’s Choice Awards, Primetime Emmy Awards, and a Golden Globe....
“Fungi like dermatophytes and yeast thrive in dark, humid, and warm environments,” New Jersey-based physician Dr. Mikhail Varshavski elaborated, in a recent discussion with Men’s Health. “They need the moisture to reproduce and feed themselves, as they are very simple organisms and are unable to adapt well to other environments.” Circumcision rates in the U.S. have declined from 83 percent in the 1960s to 77 percent in 2010, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suggesting a higher risk of penile yeast infections than ever before....
Pink eye is an inflammation of the membrane surrounding the eye that causes redness, soreness, and, well, goop. It can be the result of bacteria or blocked tear ducts, but it’s often caused by a virus that’s wicked infectious. It’s not clear exactly when breast milk was first proposed as a cure for pink eye, though it’s probably safe to rule out the “Mom With Exceptionally Poor Nipple Aim” theory....
