Guys tend to be problem-solvers. When our kid’s toy breaks in two, we’re out there with the super glue in hand to undo the damage. Other times, though, springing into action can backfire. A temporary dip in the market is a case in point. Nobody likes to see their hard-earned nest egg take a hit. But the tendency is to dump your stocks when they’re at a low, which is the opposite of what you want to be doing....

To come to this conclusion, researchers tracked the sexual emotions and behaviors of 1,077 men. Subjects were asked about their libidos, general health, and exercise regimens using “pre-existing validated questionnaires” — that is, questions based on past behavioral studies like how often men think about sex. Then they were broken into groups according to both sex and exercise habits. Researchers didn’t count them as the same thing, even if you do....
But the drop-out rate wasn’t the only significant change that birth control access gave teen girls, per Wired. Additionally, the birth rate among teens fell by over half (54 percent) for teen girls between 15 and 19 and the abortion rate fell even more (63 percent) for girls in the same group. Graduation rates in Colorado increased from 88 percent to 92 percent; and gains among Hispanic women were the highest, with their rate of graduation jumping from 77 to 87 percent, amounting to about 5 percent of the total increase....

The organization’s annual “Stress in America” poll, released Thursday, found that the pandemic and record-high inflation already stressed Americans, and when the Ukraine invasion began, our collective stress levels spiked. The original survey of 3,012 adult Americans was conducted in February and found that 87% of respondents were troubled by the continually rising costs of necessities like food and gas, the highest “proportion of adults seen across all stressors asked about in the history of the Stress in America™ survey....
According to the Hollywood trade paper Variety, Warner Bros. is aiming for a March 17, 2023 release date… theatrically, by which point, hopefully, the pandemic will be well behind us. And the team behind the project sure hits the sweet spot for family fare, as producer David Heyman mounted the Harry Potter films and Paddington, while Paddington and Paddington 2 director Paul King is on board to helm Wonka, working from a script currently credited to Simon Rich, who contributed to the writing of Inside Out, and Simon Farnaby, who co-wrote Paddington 2....
The dual mission of the Take Our Sons and Daughters to Work Foundation is to help children “think imaginatively about their family, work and community lives” and to connect “what children learn at school with the actual working world.” This is a noble mission and one that, for the 35 percent of people in professional fields who do some or all of their work from home, are forced to consider on a daily basis....
Why are the Tesla cars being recalled? According to the recall notice posted by the NHTSA, the recall affecting Tesla is related to its window automatic reversal system, which may “not react correctly after detecting an obstruction.” The NHTSA notes that the vehicles “fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 118,” which covers the power-operated window systems. “A closing window may exert excessive force by pinching a driver or passenger before retracting, increasing the risk of injury,” the recall notice states....
It’s also pretty much exactly what it sounds like. The Brick Wall created a Mad Max-esque robovac made almost entirely out of Legos that sweeps up and collects bricks left lying around the house. The ingenious contraption can gather pieces of almost any size and even has a retractable robotic arm. The major difference between the Lego Roomba and real robot vacuum is that it’s not autonomous. Instead, it’s controlled by a manual remote....

If you were a ’90s kid, the reason why you loved this version of the X-Men is probably that the animation style looked like a comic-book come-to-life, but, not in a way that was annoying or confusing, or that took too many liberties. The Cyclops and Wolverine, Jean Grey, and Storm of the ’90s X-Men weren’t really trying to pay homage to the X-Men of the ’60s or the ’70s, they were, for the most part, the versions of those characters that made sense for ’90s kids....
RELATED: Saving on Family Essentials Doesn’t Mean Selling Out Your Family’s Lifestyle Since that conversation, I’ve turned that question into something of a party game when I’m around new parents ⏤ similar to asking “What would your death row meal be?” or “What song would you want to be playing when you arrived at work, as though you were a baseball player stepping up the plate?” (linguine with clam sauce and Ludacris’s “Stand Up,” naturally)....
“What we would look for in a crib sheet is something that fits the mattress snugly that won’t detach. We worry about the sheet detaching and becoming a suffocation risk,” says Dr. Benjamin D. Hoffman, the chair of the American Academy of Pediatrics’ Committee on Injury, Violence and Poison Prevention. “The right image of a baby sleeping is a baby on a flat firm mattress on their back with nothing else....
