“Revenge exists for a reason to keep people from taking advantage of you. If someone punches you, you’re going to punch them back,” says David Chester, Ph.D., a professor of psychology and Virginia Commonwealth University who studies revenge. “So it’s protective and serves as a deterrent to keep other people from harming you. But it can go awry. “ When a person is scorned by their cheating spouse, more ancient parts of the brain like the amygdala and ventral striatum are the first to react....

Michael Hebb, entrepreneur, writer, chef, and dinner table conversation auteur, recognizes the power of the table and taps into it. Hebb trained as an architect before becoming a restaurateur and chef. When his four Portland restaurants failed in quick succession in 2006,Hebb started thinking about the table separate from the restaurant. “I didn’t want to be in restaurants in the first place. I was always more interested in shifting culture and being a bit of an architect of culture, so I began hosting topic-based dinners with brilliant people....

A new analysis, from Bloomberg, reveals that millennials are doing worse financially than Boomers and Gen Xers “in almost every way measurable.” And that includes people who are 40 years old. But why? The primary culprit is student debt. A greater share of millennials have it—double that of Gen Xers at the same age—and they have more of it, an average of $19,000 instead of $12,800. These debts follow people around for years, of course, limiting how much they can save and delaying major, expensive life decisions like having a kid....

“There hadn’t been an outcry before and not since, that’s really the story here,” says Scott Behson, professor of management at Fairleigh Dickinson University and the author of “The Working Dad’s Survival Guide.” “Baseball as an employer and institution, as well as the fans see paternity leave and involved fatherhood as normal. As it should be.” What’s more, as it’s the only major sports league that offers paid paternity leave, the MLB could be doing a favor to millions of dads who can’t hit a fastball to save their lives — even if that was never the league’s intention: bring the paternity leave conversation into a widely watched masculine institution....

“Sophia is the dominant girls’ name of the decade, with no signs of slowing down,” notes Linda Murray, Senior Vice President of Consumer Experience and Global Editor in Chief at BabyCenter. “It has worldwide appeal, it’s pronounceable in multiple languages, and it’s feminine and sophisticated all at once. As for Jackson, it’s a modern twist on the old classic Jack.” One of the big influences on this year’s list was pop culture, primarily Fortnite and the Jenner-Kardashian family....

I don’t know if I was, in doing this, asking that she solve the problem, but clearly she interpreted my baleful puppy eyes as a plea for help because she came at me with a suggestion, a practical solution to a problem of the heart. “You should try playing with him 10 minutes a day,” she told me. “One on one.” It took me a beat to realize she wasn’t suggesting I challenge a kindergartener to a game of driveway basketball — though I maintain that I could win that contest by a considerable margin....

Cargo is actually a remake of a 2013 short film with the same name and a pretty similar plot. The 2017 version follows Andy, who has 48-hours to find a suitable guardian for his daughter before he turns and eats her himself. Andy finds hope in the form of an aboriginal tribe, who can take the baby, but harbor a deep fear of those who may be infected. Andy befriends a young aboriginal girl who is his only connection to a community that can save his daughter, but who simultaneously has no interest in returning to her tribe....

The plot of the movie is relatively straightforward. A down-on-his-luck MMA fighter named Cole Young learns he is part of a secret, ancient lineage and must fight in the titular tournament to defeat the villainous Sub-Zero and, obviously, save the world. We also get a glimpse of characters that fans of the video game franchise know and love, including Sonya Blade, Scorpion, and Lord Raiden. The trailer makes the smart choice to focus less on the story and more on the action, and since it’s a red-band trailer, we get to see some pretty gnarly moments, including Sub-Zero mercilessly slicing off Jax’s arms....

For everyone else, springing forward just gives us an extra hour of that sweet, sweet daylight, but can still be a rough adjustment on our bodies and minds. And if you’re one of the many people who will immediately start counting back the days to when we “fall back” again, a new bill might bring you joy. If a group of bipartisan Senators gets their way, this upcoming Daylight Savings could spark a permanent change, as they have proposed a bill that would keep Daylight Savings year-round, eliminating time “falling back” an hour in November....

But a study is finally shedding light on the plight of our nation’s fathers. And the picture shows a public health emergency amongst dads who are paying little attention to their own health once a baby enters their life. Amongst 266 new Georgia-based fathers who completed a pilot survey two to six months after the birth of their child, 70 percent were either overweight or had obesity. Nineteen percent were smokers, and 13 percent had engaged in binge drinking in the past month, according to the study, published today in the journal PLOS One....

Springsteen and Obama appear together in a trailer for Renegades: Born in the USA in which they settle into a car that’s too small for either of them, especially the former president. Try not to laugh when the rock legend calls the ex-leader of the free world… “B.”“Over the years,” Obama notes in the opening pages, “what we’ve found is that we’ve got a shared sensibility. About work, about family, and about America....

The symbol of the arguments in favor of forced physical affection is the archetypical grandma who is devastated after being refused a hug from her little schmoopy-kins. She is so devastated, in fact, that maybe she dies, right there in the foyer. At least that seems like the presumed outcome based on the vitriol spewed by the forced-hug crowd. Nobody ever died from being denied a hug, of course. They may have felt sad, for a moment....

Every parent should expect a certain amount of irrational volatility from young children. But there are steps they can take to help kids develop flexibility and openness to change, which will help them adjust to bumps in the road and lay the foundation for other desirable character traits as they grow older. “Flexibility is a big category that’s hugely important for all of us, adults included,” says Stuart Ablon, Ph....

For better or worse, you’re part of a big club. Student loan debt, which in the U.S. now totals $1.5 trillion (yes, that’s trillion with a “t”), has become a massive weight on recent grads. So it makes sense that you’d want to consider your options. If you have multiple federal loans, consolidating them into one definitely helps simplify your life. But it doesn’t lower your interest rate. In fact, the way lenders calculate your new finance charges is by taking the weighted average of your existing loans and rounding it up the nearest 1/8 of a percent....

“Playdate with Destiny” is the name of the new short, and according to a post on the show’s official Instagram, it will focus on Maggie. The art shows her in sunglasses and a scarf, pacifier firmly in her mouth, sitting on a balcony overlooking what looks like a seaside Greek village alongside a large-headed baby in a fedora and bow tie. Alas, there’s not a lot more information available about this project, but we’re optimistic that “Playdate with Destiny” will be a winner given the success of a similar previous effort....

RELATED: How To Get Your Kid Into 3D Printing Without a 3D Printer Other than the thoroughly unappetizing tagline, “Taste the Internet” (gross), the idea behind Pixsweet is pretty cool. Although definitely outlandish in a first-world problems kind of way. It’s essentially a service for people discontent sucking on boring old, ho-hum popsicles from the grocery store. “Heat be damned, I need a popsicle with some character.” They want to lick a unicorn, the family dog, or a silhouette of Derek Jeter....

So if you’re looking for a new routine, it’s time to throw on a pair of trunks, grab some foam weights (trust us on this one), and cannonball into your nearest shallow end. Remember: There may be no running around the pool, but running in the pool is fair game — and shockingly effective. We tapped Erika Lee Sperl, an L.A.-based strength and mobility coach, and team manager for the Australian fitness company 2XU, for her thoughts on how to get fit while getting wet....

In fact, a large study was published in 2010 in the Journal of the American Medical Association that shed a bright light on the issue of male postpartum depression. It was a meta-analysis of 46 other studies, and it found that one in seven dads (14 percent) in the U.S. becomes depressed after his child is born. That’s 1,500 dads per day afflicted with depression. Not only that but between three and six months after birth, the risk for dads climbs to 1 in 4....

I got into jiu-jitsu around 2009 when I started watching UFC. I had gotten into it right around the glory days, the Chuck Liddell era and wanted to see if I could do anything like that. I walked by a jiu-jitsu gym called Mass BJJ in Arlington. I just walked in and asked: “How does this work?” From there, I got kind of obsessed with it, for four or five years, before I had kids....

WalletHub wanted to determine which states pay the most in property taxes. WalletHub compared the 50 states and the District of Columbia using U.S. Census Bureau data to determine the highest and lowest property taxes rates. “The average American household spends $2,471 on property taxes for their homes each year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, and residents of the 27 states with vehicle property taxes shell out another $445,” WalletHub writes....
