This week, Disney+ released a look at this pivotal point in Beatles history, and wow, maybe everyone was wrong? Set to be released theatrically sometime in 2021 (but announced much earlier) Peter Jackson’s new take on Let It Be is called Get Back. By diving into 56-hours of unreleased film footage, Jackson is presenting a fresh take on how this album was recorded. In a new “sneak peek” (don’t call it a trailer!...
“When you sit at a desk most people naturally curve their lower back forward, and that then causes their upper back to counteract that unnatural position by bending backward,” says Dr. Jeremy Rodgers the Director of Colorado Spine and Sport. “That puts a ton of stress on the facet joints that help with stability in your spine, this causes pain.” Rogers has treated a wide array of people for this, from Olympians to office workers....

Only a small proportion of people who get COVID-19 become seriously ill. Although a 45% increased risk for people with type A blood seems like a lot, it doesn’t have a large effect on any individual person with type A blood, says Parameswaran Hari, a professor of hematology at the Medical College of Wisconsin. “The vast majority of patients that get this are going to do well,” Hari says. In comparison to other risk factors for COVID-19, blood type isn’t a big deal....
According to HuffPost, fellow celebrity and voice of Olaf in Frozen, Josh Gad, took to social media to share a sweet story about Bob and the kind and generous person he was. Posting to Instagram on Monday, January 10, Josh explained in the caption that a year ago he had a conversation with Bob about how his daughters’ favorite show was Full House, and they found comfort in the show during the “darkness” of the coronavirus pandemic....
But not all kids’ brains progress at the same pace or in the same way. Brain development is driven by a mix of genetics, nutrition starting in utero, and a child’s early environments and interactions with people. Exposure to toxins, infections, or chronic stress — either in the womb or post-birth — can influence brain development too, and typically not in a good way. How the brain develops in those early years lays the foundation for future learning, behavior, and relationships with other people....
The proposal, Assembly Bill 2932, would require any employer with more than 500 workers to shorten required hours and mandate overtime pay for any hours worked over 32. Currently, the federally recognized workweek is 40 hours, with overtime earned for hours worked in excess of 40. Introduced by Los Angeles County Representative Cristina Garcia, the legislation also states that employers may not decrease workers’ pay rates in response to the shortened workweek....
The evidence is abundantly clear that the more alcohol imbibed, the greater the odds of endangering or even losing the baby. Still, these risks don’t stop many expecting parents from wondering: Is a glass of wine here and there really that bad? Drinking wine while pregnant might not seem that bad considering the generations of babies born before we knew about the harmful effects of drinking during pregnancy. After all, back before fetal alcohol syndrome (now called fetal alcohol spectrum disorder) was officially recognized in 1973, pregnant people consumed alcohol without worry....
The clip shows Sagan in the early ’80s giving an interview to a news reporter. The subject is his life’s work, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, and he speaks with a passion and clarity that’s truly impressive. “I think everyone wants to know how unique the human species are, how common this thing called intelligent life on the Earth is. Or, is it possible that in a galaxy of 400 billion stars and a universe of a billion, trillion stars that we are the only inhabited planet?...
This is a major change to school guidance. Previously, the CDC endorsed that unvaccinated kids who were exposed to COVID-19 had to quarantine at home for two weeks before being able to return to the physical classroom. The burden of quarantining at home fell squarely on the shoulders of working parents who had to figure out child care options and balance working from home with a potentially sick kid. So what changed?...
According to NBC News, 16 youth plaintiffs have sued Montana over its energy policy. The case, Held v. State of Montana, alleges the state’s “heavy dependence” on fossil fuel development speeds up climate change and “infringes on their constitutional right to a clean and healthful environment.” The complaint was first filed in March 2020, and it has moved through several phases since. In August 2021, the state filed to have the case dismissed, which was denied by the judge....
One thing parents can be sure of, though, is that Colorado has made a decisive decision for nearly 2.6 million workers in the state. What decision did they make? To enact a paid family leave program in the state of Colorado. Colorado will now become one of seven states, and D.C., that has paid leave, joining New York, Massachusetts, California, New Jersey, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Washington, D.C., have paid parental leave for all workers across the state....
The 2 biggest contributors to scared kids are vulnerability as they realize how dependent they are on their loved ones, and an inability to fully grasp cause and effect. The former often manifests as separation anxiety and a distinct fear of anyone unfamiliar to them. The latter shows up in unexpected, sometimes hilarious ways, like when your kid is legitimately terrified that they might get sucked down the bathtub drain....
That’s right. After months of the bill being stalled, Congress just passed a bill allowing those with consolidated spousal loans to essentially un-consolidate and refinance their loans, making them eligible for federal loan forgiveness. A popular program in the 1990s and early 2000s, spousal student loan consolidation allowed married couples to refinance and consolidate their loans, enjoying a lower interest rate and one monthly payment. The program had one glaring oversight, though — there was no way to un-consolidate the loans, not even in cases of divorce or abuse....
Sturgill Simpson Cool Dad Job: Musician. Latest Cool Dad Achievement: Releasing an unexpected anime. Before Sturgill Simpson made country music cool again, he became the first man in his family not to work in a mine by enlisting in the Navy. When he got out, he got a stable job as a manager of a railroad yard and made music his hobby. But fame had different ideas. His unique take on twang— a far cry from songs about trucks and girls and beer (although there’s some of that as well) — caught the ear of people ready for something new....
New data from the American Academy of Pediatrics has found that in the week from July 22-29, 72,000 children and teenagers tested positive for COVID-19. Of the over 600,000 deaths in the United States, children have amounted to just 1,000 of them, and are far, far less likely to be hospitalized or seriously ill than adults. Still, the jump in cases is a worrying trend, especially as the pandemic becomes a pandemic “of the unvaccinated,” as some experts have referred to it....
It seems like an odd tack for Grohl to take until you read the single-sentence second paragraph: “My mother was a public-school teacher.” Seeing the hard work she put in — both for her students and in second jobs needed to pay the bills — made an older, wiser Grohl into one of the most pro-teacher high school dropouts around. “She helped generations of children learn how to learn, and, like most other teachers, exhibited a selfless concern for others,” he wrote of his mom....
