Rather than one-time-use batteries, the SWII recharges continually by light. Sure, solar power is great when you’re out and about, but it also powers up by candlelight, fluorescent light, and just about any other light you’ll encounter. The benefit is two-fold: first, no more mall kiosks with a dead watch in hand, and second, a timepiece that truly allows you to set it and forget it. The nylon band also has its own eco-friendly story, as its base material is comprised of recycled plastic bottles....

“The reason why people shut down when they hear about ‘kids’ music’ or ‘children’s music’ is, I think, because a lot of kids’ music is geared toward preschool,” Taylor tells Fatherly. “The most popular children’s music that has ever emerged is geared toward preschool. So people immediately assume that it’s pandering. Like the Wiggles or Barney.” But Taylor’s music isn’t like that. In Gustafer Yellowgold, Taylor has created not only a musical alter-ego but a children’s character who exists in a fully realized sci-fi world, which, primarily happens through songs....

Congo doesn’t have lions to worry about. Born in South Africa, he lives in Canada with his owners Anthony and Marlene, and their four children. The family thinks of themselves as ambassadors for the unusual breed, which is fiercely protective but not aggressive, and record Congo’s growth and family adventures — including pony rides and lots of sleepovers — on Instagram. In fact, Anthony says, he’s even considering getting another Boerboel....

In the letter, which was addressed to U.S. Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, published on Paid Leave for All, Meghan opened up about her childhood, her role as a mother, and the importance of paid leave. “I’m not an elected official, and I’m not a politician. I am, like many, an engaged citizen and a parent,” Meghan’s letter began. “And because you and your congressional colleagues have a role in shaping family outcomes for generations to come, that’s why I’m writing to you at this deeply important time—as a mom—to advocate for paid leave....

“No one has asked me that, but I love that you’re thinking of Muscle Milk.” Swanson, a mother of two who has been a practicing pediatrician for more than a decade, was initially skeptical of getting involved with the supplement industry. But she says that she joined SpoonfulOne because she believes that it may legitimately address the recent spike in food allergies among children. Many experts now believe that food allergies are often due to a lack of early exposure to certain foods and, in theory, a protein supplement that contains the allergenic parts of these foods could help children develop their immune systems from the earliest ages....

“It’s not just a signal,” Pattinson says menacingly in reference to the Bat-Signal. “It’s a warning.” The teaser is only six seconds long and really only exists to let fans know that the real trailer will be dropping on Saturday, October 16. You don’t even get to see any characters, as it’s just Pattinson speaking over a shot of the Bat-Signal. However, that one line was enough to send fans into a frenzy about the newest Batman voice....

Peak Design also walks the sustainability walk. Most of its bags have a 100-percent-recycled nylon-and-polyester shell, which is a big deal, especially for the prices — which are even more accessible now, during the brand’s huge sale. Peak Design’s stuff is worth your money even at full price, so these are great values. Every product on Fatherly is independently selected by our editors, writers, and experts.

Similar to the 25-pound microwaved turkey prank back in November, the olive oil joke all began when popular parenting account The Dad tweeted the idea to his 74,000+ Twitter followers. “Text your dad this pic and ‘I put oil in my car and now it’s makin weird sounds?’ Post replies,” he wrote on February 11. And the reactions that The Dad has received online so far are priceless. Some straight up didn’t believe their kids....

Fortunately, that’s not true. Kids are more resilient than they get credit for and most parents are, when they need to be, remarkably capable teachers. Much of the parental preschool panic that occurs as a kid hits three-years-old is the unintended consequence of early childhood education advocates. Groups like the National Education Association, for instance, are pushing for the noble goal of publicly funded pre-K for every four-year-old in the country....

The context for this question, though unstated, was clearly the Brett Kavanaugh hearings, which feature a woman accusing a prominent political ally of the President of sexual assault, an accusation that the Republican Party has largely dismissed without evidence. It’s a complex situation politically and culturally, but it wasn’t a hard question. There are dozens of inspiring, measured, and challenging answers President Trump could have given. He could have told young men to be more respectful to women....

Starr, during a press conference last week to promote his latest EP, Zoom In, expressed his disappointment in the initial documentary and shared his hopes for Jackson’s iteration. “Just to put you in the picture, the first time the documentary came out, Michael Lindsay-Hoggs’, on the roof was about 7 minutes, 8 minutes long,” Starr said. “On the roof with Peter, it’s 43 minutes long (laughs). It’s about the music and a lot of joy....

No one could deliver a line like Macdonald, who was as dry as the Sahara and practically defined the term “droll.” Born in Canada, Macdonald started out as a writer (on Roseanne, etc.) and rose to fame on Saturday Night Live, amusing viewers with his impressions of Bob Dole, Burt Reynolds, Quentin Tarantino, and other familiar figures, and anchoring Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live from 1993-1998. He also toured relentlessly and turned up in films (Billy Madison, Dirty Work, Man on the Moon, and made cameos in several additional Adam Sandler movies), TV sitcoms, and other shows (Norm, The Norm Show, The Middle, The Orville), and toplined his own talk shows and podcast (Norm Macdonald Live, Norm Macdonald Has a Show)....

The clip shows the Riddler (played by Paul Dano) literally crashing a funeral that Wayne is attending in the form of a car barreling into the church. Wayne is able to save a little kid just in time but a bomb-strapped man emerges from the car to reveal that the Riddler has a message for Batman. Pattinson has basically no dialogue in the scene but he’s able to convey a lot about the character he’s playing....

“If people continue to ignore the urge to go to the bathroom, they can develop constipation,” gastroenterologist Sarina Pasricha, M.D., told Fatherly. “The nerves in the rectum can become damaged and respond inappropriately to stool in the rectum. In essence, your brain stops responding to the urge.” Constipation, which affects approximately four million people, can escalate beyond uncomfortable bloating and gas. Harder stools and less responsive muscles often cause people to push harder when they have to go....

According to New Scientist, a team of researchers from the University of Waterloo in Ontario, Canada, were determined to find a splatter-free urinal. To find the solution to the splash problem, the research team designed two uniquely shaped urinals and pitted them against a standard design urinal in a series of splash tests. But how did these researchers find their urine-soaked calling? “The idea originated exactly where you think it did,” fluid physicist and lead researcher Zhao Pan, Ph....

It isn’t entirely clear why these two were hanging out in the first place but the photo’s mere existence has caused some fans to speculate if the two might following it their dads’ footsteps and creating their own Lennon-McCartney partnership. At the moment, that’s nothing but internet speculation, which is bound to happen when the children of two members of the most famous band of all time are spotted together....

Don’t Be Over Eager If you are an adult individual and you are touching someone’s breasts, it’s likely that you are engaging in some form of foreplay, which means sex might be on the horizon. And that’s an exciting moment. But, please, try not to get overzealous. When we get too eager, we start to behave in foolish ways. Rushing into sex might mean we get too aggressive with our movements....

What is your brief definition of mindfulness as it relates to sexuality? To me, mindfulness is about having your mind and body in the same place, in space and time. When I talk about it in terms of sexuality, I talk about being fully immersed in the moment rather than thinking of other things, like ‘Do I smell ok?’ or ‘Am I taking too long to orgasm?’ or ‘What’s my partner thinking about me right now?...

How does the SNOO work, exactly? It’s magic, coupled with science, courtesy of Dr. Harvey Karp, of The Happiest Baby on the Block fame. It’s a responsive bassinet that combines gentle rocking with soothing white noise and swaddling. Basically, it seeks to imitate the feeling of being in the womb. It has five different levels of sound and motion, depending on your baby’s preference. The mesh walls increase air flow....
