The reason for the daytime moon is that it is now in a waning gibbous phase, meaning that it will rise later and later over the next few nights. And the later rise also means a later setting for the moon, which gives us all the chance to see the moon in the sky during the day. Technically, the moon is up in the morning sky all of the time but we cannot see it because of the brightness of the sun and the pale blue sky....
In Larkin’s opinion, not equipping your daughter with self-defense skills is “like knowing she’s going to be around bodies of water and not teaching her to swim.” But he knows plenty of parents need convincing, which is why he has the story of a former student in his back pocket at all times: a 105-pound girl he describes as “like the Reese Witherspoon character in Legally Blonde,” who hated the class and complained throughout....
“In a very busy city like New York, it’s pretty challenging to be a good father, do good work, and still have quality of life,” Oliveira said. “Combining these three things together isn’t an easy task.” Oliveira has a front row seat for how the fast-pace and stress of modern urban life makes our already frenetic brains squeal in frantic, perpetual motion “Our mind is a very noisy instrument,” he said....
This is bullshit. There could be answers. In fact, John Cornyn and his GOP colleagues could have decided to get more answers every single time the fiscal budget is debated and passed. Since 1996, the Dickey Amendment, an amendment that barred the Center for Disease Control from studying the effects of gun ownership and its relationship to gun death, injury, and violence, has been the rule of law. The Dickey Amendment was largely interpreted to be a wholesale ban on gun injury and death research by the CDC, and shut down any studies by the CDC that looked into it....
My son asked me, “What happens when people die, daddy?’” I had prepared for this question a long time ago. I knew he’d ask me about it at some point, and I wanted to be ready. I told him, like I knew I’d tell him, that no one knew for sure. I said that his grandpa thought you just slept, and that grandpa, who was still very healthy, thought that was nice....
You don’t think this lightly. And, like most people, you have no idea how to talk about it. University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine Professor and Penn Memory Center co-director Jason Karlawish says that because there’s “high-octane stigma” surrounding Alzheimer’s disease, it’s difficult for families to address dementia when they suspect it. “Once there’s stigma surrounding the disease, it limits people’s desire to find out if there’s a problem and if they might have it or even just talk about it,” Karlawish, one of the world’s foremost authorities on dementia, said....
The photo clearly shows the young girl’s leg bending as Clare is smiling, completely oblivious to what is happening. Once she realized what had happened, she quickly took her daughter to the ER, where a doctor lectured her for her accidental poor parenting decision before letting her know just how common this injury is. “I had no idea. I thought everyone took their kids down the slide,” Clare wrote in her Facebook post....
If you’re not a diehard Trekkie, I get that there’s a perception that watching Star Trek can sometimes feel like being forced to eat your vegetables. With the notable exceptions of the J.J. Abrams films, the vast majority of Star Trek is more thoughtful and ruminative than your average sci-fi action flick. People have long-debated (including me and Rainn Wilson in one interview) the differences between Star Trek and Star Wars, but I think for exhausted parents at the end of the day, historically, Star Trek is more like reading The New Yorker, and Star Wars is more like watching sports....
The new study published in the World Bank Economic Review is actually a study of studies, a review of 267 different educational interventions in 54 countries. It shows that the two most effective kinds of programs in improving girls’ educational outcomes either “relax household-level constraints” (i.e. scholarships to lower the cost of attending school) or improve teachers’ pedagogy. In other words, they make school cheaper or better, and they make it easier to access for families....
Why It Works Waititi’s look goes heavy on texture, taking the rich, multifaceted look of his salt and pepper hair all the way down his face. The overall style just looks good on his individual face–the scruff traces the natural angles and contours of his cheeks and jawline while the tidy mustache that’s a few shades darker ties the look together.It makes him look younger. It’s a known fact that a few days’ worth of scruff tends to look youthful, and Waititi’s take is no exception....
“I have no idea whether the gun was loaded,” says the kindergartner from the story, now a grown man with three children of his own. “But that’s the risk you have with having firearms around and not in a secure location.” Today, that former kindergartener keeps firearms in his home, as do roughly one in three American homes with kids. It will not shock you to learn that having a gun in your house increases your kids’ likelihood of being shot in an accident — people who die from unintentional shooting are roughly three times more likely to have a gun in the home than those who are not....
While tear gas is rarely lethal, experts say that it has the potential to cause serious damage — especially during a pandemic, and especially to children who get caught in the crossfire. Here’s what you need to know about how this chemical weapon impacts kids. What is Tear Gas? Tear gas is a broad term for chemicals that specifically activate pain receptors in the eyes, respiratory system, and skin, said Satya Achanta, an anesthesiologist at Duke University....
The album will be released on October 15 and will include 10 digital-first music videos. But you don’t have to wait that long to check out the gang’s newest material, as the first two music videos will be available on the official Teletubbies’ YouTube channel on September 25. This reunion should come as a massive relief to their fanbase, as the Teletubbies are known as the Fleetwood Mac of kid’s music (rumor has it that Tinky Winky and Boobadie Woobadie have not gotten along since their tumultuous breakup)....
Reactionary activists have taken up a successful effort to create a new culture war issue to rile up the MAGA base. But while state legislatures around the country have passed similar bills, only the Volunteer State is backing up its censorious law with the threat of multimillion-dollar fines. The Tennessee Department of Education just issued its guidance on how the new law will be enforced, and it’s a doozy. The state will levy fines starting at $1 million and rising to $5 million on school districts every time one of their teachers is found to have “knowingly violated” the new law....
From a developmental psychology perspective, what we’re witnessing in the video is a baby who is actively developing a capacity for speech and language. A child’s ability to talk doesn’t just happen. Children acquire a capacity for language by listening and interacting with parents. The acquisition of language often begins when parents and babies are experiencing the world side by side. As parents share their child’s gaze, by looking at the same object, picture, or event, and name what they see, children begin to associate the word with the image....
Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld’s show about nothing debuted inauspiciously in July 1989 with a single episode that hardly anyone watched; actually, 15 million people tuned in, a massive number by today’s standards, but paltry at the time. NBC didn’t elect to go to series with the show. An NBC exec supported a pickup, and NBC ordered a four-episode first season. Though we’re used to limited-run seasons now (Loki) It’s hard to imagine such a short TV season back in the day, but by 1991, Seinfeld became must-see TV, with fans dissecting every episode, every joke....
RELATED: The Best Baby and Toddler Car Seats Before the 4moms can do its thing, though, you do have to download the smartphone app (note: it can be installed manually if somehow you bought a smart seat but still use a flip phone) and follow a few simple steps. First, scan the car’s VIN number with your phone camera so it can tell you the safest place to position the base (it has info on all cars)....
As adorable and hilarious as toddlers are, the harsh truth is that the toddler years, between age 2 and 4, can be even more difficult than infancy. Because, while kids are learning to do more for themselves, their desire for independence clashes with their world. The upshot is a kid at odds with their own limitations, the rules of social decorum they’ve yet to learn and an environment that wasn’t necessarily built for them....
