As you undoubtedly know by now, you can’t spot-reduce fat on your body. In other words, skipping seconds and avoiding sugary desserts isn’t going to make love handles magically melt away from your waist. It will, however, help slim the whole of you down, and as your body becomes smaller, so will your side pouches. Once you’ve got your diet where you want it (full of whole grains, leafy greens, lean protein, and healthy fats like olive oil), it’s time to start thinking about which exercises will be most beneficial to your love handle-less physique....

So, there are some differences between the comics and the show: the bad-boyfriend Clint of the comics, for example, is replaced by the loving family man of the MCU. But these comics provide the heart and tone of the story and introduce us to the mentorship between Hawkeyes, the villainous “tracksuit draculas,” — who are just called the “tracksuits” in the show —, and Lucky, the one-eyed pizza dog. So, with the gifting holidays coming maybe you want to check out these three collections of Hawkeye comics....

The average size of the American family is relatively small — roughly 3.14 people, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. And the costs, pressures, and risks associated with raising a modern family can’t be denied. This has something to do with why two-child American families are ideal to half of the population, and the number of large families — while prevalent in certain areas — is decreasing. But when it comes to the question of when parents realized they didn’t want kids anymore, it all depends on the parents themselves....

“With the majority of the weight outside of the handles, they have an offset center of mass which produces effects you can’t get with dumbbells or barbell,” says Bruce Kelly, owner and personal trainer at Fitness Together. Plus, they’re great for carries. “If you’ve tried doing heavy loaded carries with dumbbells, then you’ve learned to appreciate kettlebells.” For this routine Kelly says you need access to several kettlebells of various weights — but you could do the workout with a single pair....

Sanfilippo’s research has demonstrated that kids pretending to play with guns, while not dangerous in itself, is an indication of how drawn they are to these symbols of power and control. And boys are especially vulnerable. “Evolutionary psychologists will argue that from the beginning of time boys were the hunters and gatherers, defenders and dominant,” Sanfilippo says. “To try and fight that is probably a losing battle.” Weapons are the tools of hunting and protection, and boys are drawn to them through an instinct as old as time....

Just look at this off-road beast. The body of the truck is clear polycarbonate that comes with an array of decals and lenses for lights in both the front and rear of the vehicle. The polycarbonate is designed to be painted, but we think it looks kind of cool as is because it leaves the internal components exposed. There’s an expedition rack that helps ruggedize the body. There are traction boards....

“The median monthly asking rent in the U.S. increased 17 percent year over year to a record high of $1,940 in March, the largest annual jump since at least February 2020,” reports Redfin. However, not all cities and states have seen that much of an increase. And in some cases, the increase has been more drastic. Redfin wanted to find out which of the large metropolitan cities across the country had rent prices increase or decrease, and by what amount....

Superhero movies are certainly not great at making anyone feel good about their bodies. Even though Avengers: Endgame gave us Dad-Bod Thor, everyone else seems to have gym habits that make us feel really bad about ourselves. So, how can we keep loving the Avengers and not feel like we’re getting fat-shamed at the same time? Pass me a craft beer, because here come the Dad Bod Avengers. On Thursday, a viral video posted by the Instagram account But It’s Low Budget, featured a bunch of regular looking dudes acting-out signature Avengers-moves by jumping out of a pool....

“Neuroscience has shown there are circuits that are activated for anger and aggression in response to different triggers,” says R. Douglas Fields, Ph.D., senior investigator at the National Institutes of Health and author of Why We Snap. “It’s part of the brain’s threat detection mechanism. The key concept is this anger and aggression exists to fight, and exists for violence because we need it.” So your kid’s anger is actually natural and necessary physiological response which stems from those early human, cave-dwelling days, when things with sharp teeth saw human beings as fleshy bite-sized snacks....

She’s spent the better part of her career steering individuals toward a healthier approach to sex and relationships.

But what if Selleck had been cast? A new “deepfake” video created by YouTube user Sham00K is answering that question and making the rounds on the internet. It digitally plasters Selleck’s ’80s face — including the famous mustache — over Harrison Ford’s. It’s basically a way to see (but not hear, Ford’s voice is still audible) an alternate dimension in which Selleck played Indy. You can also watch Selleck’s screen test for Raiders with actress Sean Young below....

As this news hit, a chorus of dings and buzzes also sounded across America, the headlines lighting up our phones as though they were ancient fire signals alerting citizens of word from afar. We all looked. We all read. Some of us swiped to read the full story; others went back to the tasks at hand. But for a few seconds, we all lost track of what we were previously doing in the same moment....

According to Dr. Daniel Belkin of the New York Dermatology Group, Beard dandruff is caused by seborrheic dermatitis. This is a type of mild rash thought to be caused by the overproduction of sebum (the skin’s natural oils) with an overgrowth of yeast. Dandruff typically shows up as redness and flaking on various parts of the body — especially oilier areas — such as the scalp, eyebrows, sides of the nose, ears, and the beard, causing a flurry of white flakes that seem to get stuck everywhere....

Back in July, the United States was in the top 20, landing at a respectable 18th place on the vaccination rate rankings of countries. But in the two months since, America has faced a massive drop as vaccination rates have slowed and now sits at 40th with 54.44 percent of the population vaccinated, just behind Czechia (54.74 percent) and Greece (54.54 percent) while barely managing to beat out Lichtenstein (54....

At the hospital, one of the nurses asked what procedure my wife was about to undergo. When the other nurse replied, “a D&C,” the nurse snapped her head toward us and glared. Let me explain: Pregnancy introduces you to a host of unfamiliar terms (blastocyst, quickening), as well as a lineup of potential threats, like placenta previa, gestational diabetes, and “missed” miscarriages, which are miscarriages that the woman doesn’t know has occurred....

Titled “Your Shot to Fly,” the airline is offering roundtrip flights to the winners, with five lucky people winning the grand prize of a year-long pass to travel anywhere United flies.

Posted late Tuesday night by user @gina_lolz, the video was captioned, “TWITTER please find this girl I have to know what that guy said to her.” Of course, Twitter had a lot of thoughts as to what the man said that was so deserving of the hand. “He said he liked pineapple on pizza,” one user posted. Another quipped, “The Star Wars prequels were actually pretty good … better than the Disney ones!...

This summer, many traditional camps (and other kid-focused organizations) are moving online, bringing children together via video chat to connect with one another, learn new things, and get some of that playtime they’re missing. Virtual camps give kids a chance to talk to new and old friends, learn from experienced educators, and engage in new, structured activities, whether it’s a dance class, an interactive storytime, or a game of imagination....

Craig Fugate was in charge of FEMA during the response to the 2011 tornado that devastated Joplin, Missouri. The two Waffle House locations in town remained open the entire time, and Fugate summed it up thusly: “If you get there and the Waffle House is closed? That’s really bad.” Well, folks, things are really bad. As of today, 418 Waffle House locations — about 20 percent of all locations across the country — are closed....
