In October 2017, the company increased paid parental leave for its 380,000 full-time employees from 14 to 20 weeks for birth mothers and doubled paid parental leave for dads, partners, and adoptive parents to 12 weeks....

“People thought I was kind of crazy,” he says. “But every time someone brought it up, I was like, ‘People do this all the time. Pro athletes pay people for their breast milk.’ ” Ritenour is 33 years old and lives in South Carolina. He started drinking breast milk after his girlfriend gave birth to each of their three kids. He would add any leftover into his protein shake — usually about 3 to 4 ounces at a time....

to Tom Brady and Joe Biden, when a man wants to stand out in a crowd, he does so by showcasing what’s around his wrist. But just like all other menswear items of quality, from leather shoes to selvedge denim, protecting that investment is key to lengthening its days and preventing damage. Whether you’ve been collecting chronographs for decades or are just now wading into the timepiece world, a quality watch storage box should be your next purchase....

In other words, between Internet and on-screen fame, he’s instantly recognizable. It doesn’t hurt that Van Der Beek, now 42 and, with second wife Kimberly Brook, a father of five, still looks remarkably like Dawson. It’s no wonder, then, that he’s very, very often, stopped on the street. “My kids seem to be cool about it,” he says about being recognized. “Right now, they’re young enough where everything that I do is cool....

A dune buggy-style kart for kids 5+, the Revolution is built rough and tumble (no doubt for future Wrangler owners) with 15-inch all-terrain tires, double ball-bearing steering, back-pedal brakes, and swing axle suspension to handle the roughest of road conditions. Since pedaling through mud and muck can be hard work for a 5-year-old, the BFR-3 Revolution boasts 3 gears to make it easier. Since kids don’t always follow directions and may make a wrong turn at that fallen tree down by the creek, there’s also a reverse gear....

And despite saying during the campaign that everyone deserved to have at least $10,000 in student debt forgiven, President Biden has failed so far to act decisively on the issue. As a result, the prospects of large-scale student debt forgiveness are murkier than ever. The latest discouraging sign for student borrowers is the release last Friday of the latest Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions. The dry but consequential biannual document “reports on the actions administrative agencies plan to issue in the near and long term,” basically the rules they are planning on setting using executive authority (i....

Bieber captioned his viral video with a simple pun, “Seal-o Green.” The clip has since racked up over 4 million views at the time of this article’s posting and has brought back some much-deserved attention onto the hit, which catapulted singer CeeLo Green to stardom and helped him land a gig as one of The Voice’s original judges. The video is brief, only about 30 seconds long, but inexplicably joyful....

With 63, 61, and 81 percent approval from voters, respectively, all three measures passed. The Key West Committee for Safer Cleaner Ships, a grassroots group, was the driving force behind the measures. It sought to “balance the limited economic benefits of cruise ships against the larger public health, environmental, and economic interests of Key West citizens.” Cruise ships are, somewhat surprisingly, a relatively minor part of Key West’s economy. Cruise passengers make up half of the visitors to the city, but they only contribute 8 percent of visitor spending, just $32 per person compared to the $550 spent by other tourists....

Usually, the old “If you could have any superpower …” debate comes down to flight versus invisibility. But when you put that hypothetical — and a trunk full of Avengers gear you couldn’t possibly argue was better in your day — in front of a half dozen kids, the discussion gets a lot more lively. Suddenly you’re shooting titanium-cutting lasers at your house because you’re a superhero and you’ll just “Get a new house,” or you’re super annoying and your only weakness is a wicked stomach ache because … whatever, it’s your world, kid....

As part of U.S. News and World Report data from 2021 used to compile its “Best States” list, the publication also looked at air and water pollution levels and ranked states on whether they had clean or dirty water and air. “Pollution was determined based on air and water emissions from industry and utilities,” The Hill explained in a write-up of the report. The data also investigated the “overall measures to long-term human health effects, using information from the Environmental Protection Agency....

Like any child of the 90’s. Rober grew up engaging in epic super soaker battles with his buddies. So it was only natural that he used his very specific set of skills to take his squirt gun game to the next level. Water? Mere child’s play, and Rober quickly made the necessary modifications so that he had 7 squirt guns that shot paint instead of water. It’s like if a super soaker and a paintball gun decided to settle down and have a baby....

And you know what? Listening to complaints is helpful. Really helpful. Because all of us have overlapping tendencies. That’s why we spoke to a variety of wives to find out what they really wished their husbands would stop doing. Most of their complaints boil down issues of emotional intimacy and self-awareness — and can help the rest of us understand what we can do to make life better for our partners....

The state governments of Delaware and Maryland state both passed family leave laws in April, guaranteeing workers the right to at least 12 weeks off after the birth of a child. How does the Delaware program work? The Delaware program allows six weeks of leave for every two years worked to care for a worker’s own health condition or that of a family member. Workers would not be allowed to claim more than 12 weeks per year, and the benefit would top out at either 80% of the worker’s salary or $900 per week, whichever is lower....

The game is pretty simple, each player has to write down a story that may or may not be true. They read their story out loud and then the other players have to guess if it’s a lie or not. Objectively, when McConaughey read his story, it seemed plausible that he saved his child from a mountain ram during a picnic at the Grand Canyon. What seemed less plausible though, was that he did so by throwing the six-month-old 15 feet up in the air and into his wife’s arms....

Meghan has navigated something most of us can’t begin to understand, with her husband, Prince Harry, by her side. In a new interview, Meghan opens up about the decision she and Harry made to leave the U.K., hinting at the best part about leaving her royal life: a life with her kids. Meghan sat down with Allison P. Davis from The Cut. The two chatted about several different things, including the “big adjustment” from an actress to a working member of “the Firm” and the decision to leave....

Not much seems to temper McCarthy’s optimism. Not even being unable to do the most mundane of chores: Going to the grocery store. “I don’t even get to randomly chit-chat with anyone. I’m a chatty gal that talks to everybody she passes,” says McCarthy. While McCarthy is indisputably funny (for reference, please stream Bridesmaids or The Heat or Identity Thief or Spy), there’s a big-hearted pathos to her comedy. Even at her most ridiculous, you never forget she’s a human, with feelings, with insecurities, with big dreams, and even bigger regrets....

After claiming that he owned the phone and labeling his ex-wife’s actions criminal, he filed a complaint with the local police department. May was eventually arrested and, while released on a $200 bond, faced up to 93 days in jail for a misdemeanor larceny charge. “I was just being a mom, a concerned parent and disciplining my daughter,” said May. To make matters worse, right before her bench trial, an Ottawa County District Judge hit May with another charge: larceny by conversion....

“Misophonia generally develops in the home to a specific family member and to a specific sound made by that person,” Dozier, who authored the book Understanding and Overcoming Misophonia, 2nd edition: A Conditioned Aversive Reflex Disorder, explains. “Misophonia can be and often is devastating to close relationships. It causes children to avoid parents. It causes divorce.” Misophonia affects up to 20 percent of the general population according to the data, but Dozier suspects that those numbers may be even higher because it’s underdiagnosed....

The original film, an utterly magical experience that was fantastical, heartfelt and a bit scary, too, was directed the legendary Hayao Miyazaki and released in 2001. It followed the adventures of a 10-year-old girl, Chihiro, and her parents, who come upon a seemingly abandoned amusement park. There, after her father and mother are transformed into giant pigs, Chihiro learns that the park is actually a resort for supernatural beings seeking a respite from their time on Earth....
