Take a moment to catch your breath. We know what it’s like when we turn to our kid’s favorite characters to entertain them while we make dinner. And when they want to watch new episodes, we look forward to them as well. Bluey Season 3 is officially coming. When BBC Studios confirmed earlier this year that a Season 3 of Bluey was on the way, parents rejoiced. “We are really excited that our brand-new season of Bluey, currently in production, will be coming to Disney,” Charlie Aspinwall, executive producer for Ludo Studio, the Emmy-Award-winning company behind Bluey, said in a statement according to Romper....

Following the horrifying riots in the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, watching the actual counting of the electoral college votes on C-SPAN was bizarrely comforting. Everywhere you look, parents, educators, news pundits, and President-elect Joe Biden, have correctly pointed out how horrifying it is that a sitting President basically incited a riot. But, if you watched the live-feed of Congress debating and counting the votes last night, you might have learned something else....

“We need to take every action we can to deliver on our commitments to protect public health from the adverse impacts of air pollution, and this strategy identifies how we can do just that,” CARB Chairperson Liane Randolph said in a statement. “While this strategy will clean the air for all Californians, it will also lead to reduced emissions in the many low-income and disadvantaged communities that experience greater levels of persistent air pollution....

“I often recommend sex and masturbation before and during childbirth. Sex is safe in pregnancy right up until your water breaks,” says Sarah Winward, a Toronto-based doula. (She notes that after the water breaks, sex or internal masturbation is not advisable due to an increased risk of infection. “Clitoral stimulation is safe throughout labor and birth as it does not involve inserting anything into the vagina.” Still, the science of orgasmic birth is murky at best....

Nadia, a four-year-old Malaysian tiger, received a test after she developed a dry cough. Her twin sister Azul, two Amur tigers, and three African lions displayed the same symptom and are assumed to also have the virus. Despite low appetites, all are “bright, alert, and interactive with their keepers” and expected to make a full recovery. The Wildlife Conservation Society, which runs the zoo, says that an asymptomatic zookeeper infected the animals....

This decision comes after last week’s FDA approval of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for this age group, and it promises to be a huge step toward keeping schools and communities well-protected against the coronavirus. In approving the vaccine, the CDC says that the benefits of children getting vaccinated far outweigh the risk of anything like myocarditis. “Getting COVID… is much riskier to the heart than this vaccine, no matter what age or sex,” a CDC scientist said at the meeting....

I’m aware there are men (and some women) who might cringe at the term of endearment I level at my boys. But the thing is, when all is said and done, I don’t care. I’m not sure when I started using sweetheart and sweetie. I don’t use it with women other than my wife, mostly because I’m not Humphrey Bogart or a misogynist. However, I did use it on my male cat, Fido, who also had a dog’s name....

Chrissy’s decision to be open about infertility, pregnancy complications, and perinatal grief early on opened her eyes to many things that often go undiscussed. “I’ve been open about so much throughout my life, and so [infertility] didn’t seem like a crazy thing to talk about. But the more I spoke about it, the more I realized how taboo it was,” Chrissy told Refinery29 in a new interview. Her experience in talking about the hard parts along with the good mirrors my own....

This is everything you need to know about colon cancer risk, symptoms, screening, and treatment. What Is Colon Cancer? Colon cancer begins in the large intestine, also known as the colon. The cancer develops out of a small clump of noncancerous cells on the inside of the colon called a polyp. It can take up to 10 or 15 years for the polyps to become cancers. Not all polyps develop into colon cancer, according to the Mayo Clinic....

Millions of Americans lost work, access to child care, struggled with food insecurity, and fought to make ends meet as entire industries shuttered. In response to the protracted economic crisis wrought on by COVID, the American government stepped in, in part, with a social safety net program expansion not seen in decades. And as a result, the number of poor Americans will likely fall by about 45 percent, from years previous, per The New York Times reporting of research from Columbia University....

Roughly the size of a beer can, the Nebula connects to devices via both Bluetooth and Wi-fi so it works pretty much anywhere. Its interface is simple to use, it can mirror screens of iOS or Android devices, and also runs Android 7.1 on its own. That means it can stream pretty much anything from a monthly service to a movie downloaded on your tablet. It lasts four hours per charge and, best of all, can cast picture up to 100 inches wide....

The e-PRIAM has a battery and a switch hidden in the rear axle. Simply deactivate the footbrake and tap the switch with your foot. A row of LEDs will light up to let you know the e-PRIAM is activated. Once activated, sensors in the handlebar can detect additional pushing pressure — when going uphill — and pulling pressure — when going downhill. Using what Cybex calls Smart Hill Support, an algorithm takes that data and activates the motors to either help you get to the top of the hill or prevent you from going too fast on the way down....

The biggest reason for Beat’s sound-quality issue is their artificially enhanced bass, which has a tendency to not only distort songs but also drown out the mids and highs. Sure, this is something you can ignore if you’re not that particular about sound and looking for a pair of knock-around workout headphones to blast bass-heavy running jams (although there are better workout headphones out there). It really causes a problem if you’re shelling out for one of their $300+ models....

In 2001, a paper was published in the International Journal of Medicinal Mushrooms — the journal loved by scientists with dreadlocks everywhere — reporting the effects of an unidentified mushroom they think is of the Dictyophora species thought to be a powerful female aphrodisiac that grows atop 600 to 1000-year-old Hawaiian lava flows. In all, 36 participants, 20 male and 16 female, were encouraged to smell the strange ‘shroom. Though all 20 men described the scent as “fetid” (a strangely specific word for 20 men to repeat), the women had a slightly improved reaction....

My father really enjoys waterfowl hunting. My brother and I went with him our whole lives. The trip was mainly about being with my dad, and being with each other in the outdoors. The time spent was tremendous. As I grew up, I began hunting with other people. I saw them involving labrador retrievers in the hunts. I was really amazed seeing the instincts of the dogs. I went to a kennel that is serious about dog training....
