He was as likely to turn up in an indie film that hardly anyone saw, but that he loved making, as he was to appear in a Disney/Marvel blockbuster. Hurt was at the peak of his craft in the mid-1980s, when he earned three straight Oscar nominations in the Best Actor category, for Kiss of the Spider Woman, Children of a Lesser God, and Broadcast News. He won for Kiss of the Spider Woman, and earned a fourth nomination, in the Best Supporting Actor category, nearly two decades later, for A History of Violence....

Ryan was beaming after winning the silver medal for his incredible run at the super-G skiing event. One of the first people he called after hitting the milestone was his mom, Barbara Ann Cochran who knows the adrenaline that pumps after winning an Olympic medal. Fifty years earlier, she, too, took home a medal for the US – a gold – at the women’s slalom at the 1972 Winter Olympics in Sapporo, Japan....

Scarlett is a mom of two, a four-month-old boy named Cosmo, and seven-year-old daughter Rose Dorothy. While Cosmo is too young to understand what the holidays and Christmas traditions are, Rose isn’t. In fact, she’s at the age where it’s going to be a lot harder to keep that magic alive. And Scarjo might have ruined it already. While promoting her new movie Sing 2, Scarlett spoke with E! News’ Daily Pop on December 13 and explained what happened when her daughter found something on Santa’s little helper, the Elf on the Shelf....

That alone is one hell of a backstory for the country’s current Secretary Of Education, but it gets even more improbable: A good student, King was accepted into the prestigious Phillips Andover Academy, only to get kicked out for discipline issues during his Junior year. He moved in with his uncle, a former Tuskegee Airman, who administered a healthy dose of real on a young man teetering between 2 very different paths....

They also set up a joint account early on in order to pay for big household expenses, although another motivation came right before their October 2015 wedding. Mina’s account was hacked into and had to be frozen for two weeks as the situation was rectified. The incident made them realize the benefit of two things: spreading their money around and having some always be mutually accessible, she says. But the separate accounts have continued to show their worth....

“One of the motivations for sexting may be connected to an individual’s attachment style, the way in which we become attached to or interact with our relationship partners,” says Martin Graff, Ph.D., a professor of psychology at the University of South Wales. “The benefits of sexting are very much dependent upon gender and relationship status.” More than 80% of people admit to sexting in some form, according to the American Psychological Association....

In the 1985 movie, directed by Stephen Spielberg, the characters were taken aboard a pirate ship captained by One-Eyed Willie. While the story is obviously fiction, the story was inspired by a real-life ship that went missing. “According to a spokesperson at Spielberg’s company, Amblin Productions, the movie mogul used the story of the San Cristo de Burgos as inspiration for the film, which is set in Astoria, Ore.,” Washington Post reports....

I had to wrestle down a certain chagrin I felt watching my husband sit with the men while I worked to make and clean up supper (a lot of supper; our closest Amish friends have 13 kids). My struggle in the early days of our Amish visits was less about my passing judgment on the Amish than passing judgment on my husband, who could barely contain his finger-flapping glee at receiving a culture-specific housework pass....

WARNING: Obviously, there are some major plot spoilers for Glass coming your way so if you haven’t seen the film already, you’re probably going to want to stop reading. First off, we should make it clear that the ending to Glass does not appear to set up the possibility of a sequel in any way. While it’s become commonplace for blockbusters to have ambiguous endings that leave room for future adventures, Shyamalan seems to be wrapping up this superhero-adjacent trilogy, as (ONCE AGAIN SPOILERS!...

According to company executives at the 2018 investor conference in New York City, they will be expanding delivery to about one-quarter of their U.S. stores by the end of the second quarter (which would be March, since the Starbucks fiscal year starts October 1).

Any way you look at it, guaranteed additional income is a win-win for parents. But a recent study shows that it’s not just great for budgets or family time. It’s a boon for child development too. Babies Can Benefit From Guaranteed Income, Study Suggests A new study shows that babies can benefit from that income boost in a surprising way — through improved brain development. The study, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, followed a group of families, half who received $20 per month and half who received $333 per month for one year from the baby’s birth....

Led by the global fatherhood campaign MenCare, this meta-analysis of hundreds of studies across every data-logging country on earth reveals broad patterns — both positive and negative — of fatherhood across the globe. If you don’t have time to read the 288 page report, here are the top 7 takeaways: Moms Are Still The Primary Parent By A Long Shot – Mad Men-style sexism may seem anachronistic in the United States, but globally, women still spend 2-to-10 times longer on childcare than men....

The docket for the first three months of the term has been set, and there are three big cases that center on issues that directly impact American families. The right-wing slant of the Court and its demonstrated willingness in the Texas case to act with ideological ends means that the rights of women to access healthcare, families to live in safe communities, and taxpayers to not pay for proselytizing are all in danger....

By 2025, cannabis beverages are expected to exceed $1B in annual sales, according to Brightfield Group, a trade group for CBD, cannabis, and wellness products. The nexus of development for the new beverage category is California for now. But Massachusetts, Illinois, Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, Colorado, Washington, Rhode Island, and New York are all states where the sector is expected to take off in coming years. “People have no idea these products exist, but in five-to-ten years they’re going to be a massive part of the cannabis market,” says Aaron Silverstein, President of the Cannabis Beverage Association (CBA), and VP of Production & Business Development at the cannabis-infused wine producer, House of Saka....

“The shoulders are a ball and socket joint like the hip,” says Raphael Konforti, MS, CPT, Youfit Health Clubs’ National Director of Fitness. “Any move you make with your arms involves the shoulders — especially picking up your little ones.” Most people work out their shoulders with rigid presses and raises. But such motions don’t challenge stability very much and all the little muscles that form the rotator cuff go unchecked....

In the early 1970s to the late 199s, ABC released a series of movies, called The Afterschool Specials. These films were meant to instruct kids and teens about so-called modern dangers like drugs use. These specials were designed from network TV and if you remember them, you probably remember cracking jokes about them.
