As a parent, you’d probably just settle for ubiquitous, but that piece of the puzzle has already tripped up efforts by one massive banking consortium and the geniuses at Google. All the slick hardware and UI in the world won’t help Apple navigate the minefield of stakeholders necessary to get their systems everywhere you currently use plastic....

“Are logical structures and abilities something we learn at school or with the language of our parents? Or is rather something more deeply nested in our nature?” asked coauthor on the study Nicolò Cesana Arlotti of the Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona. “Our results indicate the presence of a precursor of the process of elimination in infants as young as 12 months.” There aren’t very many scientific studies that examine how infants and toddlers experience logic....

But you don’t know Robert Kelly because he’s an expert; you know Robert Kelly because he’s a meme. Outside of foreign policy circles (and probably within them too), Kelly is known as either as “BBC Dad” or his less formal moniker, “guy whose kids wandered into the background of his television appearance whom he struggled to ignore until his wife snatched them away.” See? Now you know who he is....

Be Direct “I struggle with this one, but it has to do with the clarity of your instructions when dealing with a toddler. I have a friend who is an elementary school teacher, and she says that it’s important – especially in cases of discipline – to avoid saying stuff like, ‘Cut it out.’ Or, ‘Knock it off.’ To a toddler. That may as well be Pig Latin. Instead, be simple and direct....

“The important thing to understand is what’s driving weight loss,” adds Adam Rosante, a certified personal trainer in New York City. “And that’s putting yourself into a caloric deficit.” While cardio can help increase that deficit, Rosante says, strength training trumps a treadmill session when it comes to long-term weight loss. “Muscle is metabolically active, meaning it requires more energy to maintain it,” he explains. “Just by putting more muscle on your body, your resting metabolic rate, or how many calories you burn at rest, increases....

Best Buy confirmed that its stores would not be open on Thanksgiving, joining Walmart and Target in unofficially putting an end to the dramatic lead up to Black Friday. This decision seems to have been influenced by the pandemic, as the usual Black Friday shenanigans were obviously put on pause in the wake of the spread of COVID-19. While the pandemic may slowly be coming to an end thanks to the vaccine rollout, stores like Best Buy and Walmart realized that the entire ordeal of the pre-Black Friday Thanksgiving shopping crush was increasingly unnecessary due to the prominence of online shopping....

And now, the administration has announced the first round of funding for the initiative — and they’ve released $900 million in funds to get the plan going. “I’m pleased to announce that we’re approving funding for the first 35 states, including Michigan, to build their charging infrastructure throughout their state,” Biden said while attending the Detroit Auto Show, per CNBC News....

Even if politicians have various motives in making themselves look good, the incoming Biden administration is doing a good job signaling to the working families of America that this administration represents them, not to the interest of self-entitled rich people. When Joe Biden named Antony Bliken to be his nominee for the new Secretary of State, many experts praised his diplomatic chops and cited that he was Deputy Secretary of State in the Obama administration....

How Deep Breaths Work We tend to think of feelings as abstract, but getting upset has tangible, measurable effects on our body. When we’re stressed, adrenaline and cortisol flood through the body. The heart starts beating faster, fat and sugar are sent to the bloodstream to provide accessible energy, and our senses become sharper. When anxious, we tend to take more frequent breaths, which increases the amount of carbon dioxide in the body....

The trend toward a four-day, thirty-two-hour work week has been gaining steam across the globe. A trial in Iceland was a resounding success, and companies in Belgium, the U.K., Ireland, New Zealand, and Australia were quick to hop on the bandwagon and start trials of their own. Though the U.S. has yet to make a widespread shift to the 32-hour week, several U.S.-based companies have given the four-day workweek a go and have had promising results....

How Do Ear Tubes Work? Ear tubes (also called tympanovstomy tubes) allow the fluid accumulated inside the middle ear to drain out. “When that fluid can’t accumulate in the middle ear, that often creates a less hospitable environment for bacteria to accumulate,” explains Dr. Christina Johns, Medical Director at PM Pediatrics. “And that usually means kids get fewer ear infections.” More fully developed eustachian tubes (the canals that link the middle ear with the back of the nose) allow fluid to drain better from the ears naturally....
