Differentiating themselves in a heavily saturated market through unique technical innovations, Saucony developed the 3D G....

The CDC- recommended N95 respirator masks have been hard to find lately, but the federal government is unleashing 400 million from the federal Strategic National Stockpile. Every adult U.S. resident will be entitled to three N95s, and, surprisingly, getting them will be a pretty straightforward affair. Free N95 Respirators for Adults Since the CDC announced that cloth masks just aren’t cutting it for keeping Omicron numbers down, there has been a run on the more effective nonsurgical N95s, making them difficult to come by....

First, you need to understand your anatomy: Your core is made up of five major muscle groups, according to the American Council on Exercise. You’ve got your rectus abdominis (muscles that engage when you bend forward or sit back up); erector spinae (muscles you use to arch back and reach behind your head); internal and external obliques (muscles that twist you side to side); transverse abdominis (helps you suck in your gut); and multifidi (muscles that stabilize your spine)....
It’s a contradiction that shouldn’t work, and the fact that it does proves that It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is not only a bit transgressive in its introspection, but also the most brilliantly melancholy kids’ holiday special of all time. The true believer whose heart gets broken again is blanket-loving Linus, who is so invested in the idea that every Halloween a mythical creature known as The Great Pumpkin visits the most sincere pumpkin patch in the land and doles out goodies to deserving girls and boys that he’s willing to forego Trick or Treating and court public humiliation....
RELATED: The Dad 2.0 Summit Is Where Father Bloggers, Marketers, And Media Get Big Ideas Founders Doug French and John Pacini have seen their annual gathering of the daddy-Os grow by leaps and bounds over the past 6 years, with longtime title sponsor Dove Men+Care allowing all of these father figures to gather together and speak their minds.

If you’re a dad, your reaction to this disclosure is particularly important, said Dennis Flores, a researcher in the Department of Family and Community Health at the University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing. Fathers are a child’s primary model of masculinity. For gay, bi, and queer sons, who may grow up with the sense that something about their masculinity is different, your reassurance means the world. “It’s the words that you say that become the thoughts in their heads,” Flores says....
While the pullover hoodie certainly has its place, the zip-up hoodie is, dare we say it, the best version of the hooded sweatshirt. Why? The zipper is a game-changer for the simple fact that it removes the most annoying part of wearing a pull-over sweatshirt: pulling it off. If you’re overheating in a standard, zipper-less hoodie? There’s only one way to remove it, and, yeah, it’s most definitely going to expose your belly and mess up your hair....
Today, the barn coat remains an excellent cold-weather option and continues to resonate a rugged charm that looks as good on acres of pasture as it does on city avenues. The best barn coats retain the features that made early iterations shine but feature modern touches that add to their usefulness. They’re also handsome as hell. Now, no, a barn coat isn’t going to be quite as warm as a thick parka or a down-filled puffer jacket....
If you’ve come across the term “passive income” — that is, a form of income that requires relatively little effort to maintain in the long run — and found a giant lightbulb flashing in your head, you’re not alone. The idea of making some serious coin with very little effort is basically every adult’s dream come true.So is there something to it? As it turns out – yes. While there are plenty of side-hustlers whose extra income stream is more a trickle than a tidal wave, others have found a way to seriously augment their regular paycheck while barely breaking a sweat....
As I checked into my hotel, it hit me that this was the first time I had been at a predominantly male event where the unifying theme wasn’t related to being gay. I was worried about how I’d be received, but my anxiousness quickly subsided as I struck up conversations at panels, roundtables, and booths. Though I met just one other gay father, I felt completely welcome and understood. This story was submitted by a Fatherly reader....
Checking that box changed my life. Three days before the league draft, I got a call: One of the head coaches had a personal issue and suddenly dropped out. If I didn’t coach, my son would not have a team to play on. Despite my reluctance, my son’s prodding worked and I agreed to coach. My youth athletic experience consisted of being chosen last in pickup games and final player off the bench in organized sports....

I’m on day seven of isolation, halfway through the required 14-day coronavirus quarantine, and I’ve never been away from my son, who usually spends several nights a week with me, for so long. My ex lives on the 15th floor of a high-rise in the Fuli City neighborhood of Shuangjing, a populated residential area near the Central Business District. I live minutes away, in another building, on the 12th floor....

We are never ready. It is never the right time. By the time it comes, you will not have done all the things that we wanted to. The end always comes as a surprise, and it’s a tearful moment for widows and a bore for the children who don’t really understand what a funeral is (thank God)....
