The brainchild of a Danish dad/inventor working out of his garage, Jabii is basically a full-size version of Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots designed to get kids off their butts while “making boxing harmless.” The kit features a physical boxing glove with a telescoping arm that syncs via Bluetooth to a smartphone app. Your pint-sized Stilt-Man simply holds the pistol grip — that’s secured with a Spandex wrist wrap so it doesn’t go flying — and throws their best right hook....

Does Ford look old in the photos? Yes but this really cannot be emphasized enough: Harrison Ford IS old. Raiders of the Lost Ark came out 40 years ago. So what were people expecting? Ford to look like he took a dip in the fountain of youth and looked like he was in his 30s again? Indiana Jones 5 director James Mangold (who, by the way, is most known for directing Logan, a critically-acclaimed final film in a franchise about a beloved character reckoning with their own mortality) took notice of people criticizing the movie after the photo leak and seemed to feel like people were taking cheap shots, as he began replying to snarky tweets with his own snarky replies....

What are you doing now? Right now I’m watching on kids on the trampoline. We try to steal these moments we normally don’t get on weekdays. One of the things that my wife and I were just talking about was the need for structure and routine. Your world gets thrown upside down and we’re all creatures of habit and now we have to get better at the routine for the children....

“We’re talking about an allegation of sexual assault,” Kavanaugh said. “I’ve never sexually assaulted anyone. I did not have sexual intercourse or anything close to sexual intercourse in high school or for many years thereafter.” This argument makes no sense and we all know where it ends — in a panic about teen sex. One does not need to have had sex to commit sexual assault (ask a Catholic priest about it) and virginity is not a marker of virtue any more than non-virginity is a marker of vice....

Yes, vaccines have become a politically and ideologically messy subject, but the harsh truth is that no matter what irresponsible celebrities like Jenny McCarthy or pseudoscientists says, they are largely safe, wholly necessary and always painful. But with a little research and adequate preparation, parents and kids can get protected from preventable diseases with just a couple of tears. And that’s a much better proposition than dying from measles....

In an interview with Yahoo Lifestyle, the couple talked about how their eight-year-old daughter Lincoln gave them “an earful” about how she didn’t want to have to be forced to go along with them on work trips. Bell said that while the couple felt some guilt, they were mainly proud that their daughter felt comfortable standing up for herself and expressing her needs. “We were secretly really proud of how she was able to communicate that,” Bell explained....

There has been a fair share of speculation regarding LeBron James’ parentage. While his mother, Gloria James, is a very visible force in his life, his father Anthony McClelland, remains a bit of a mystery. Though James spent years, being angry with his dad, as he explains, an empathetic nature has been central accepting what happened to him and using it to be a better dad himself. “The crazy thing is....

X-Wings get a lot of the love. But the ships named after the second-to-last letter of the alphabet deserve some respect, too. Lezt we forget, the Y-Wing flew in the first dangerous run down the Death Star trench. Lego’s new set preserves all of the clunky but formidable spaceship’s stunning detail from the film, including a Gold Leader minifigure and a R2-BHD droid for the cockpit. It’s made of 1,967 pieces, which, while it doesn’t even come close to beating out Lego’s massive 7,500-piece Millennium Falcon, is still impressive....

The authors of the report surveyed nearly 34,000 LGBTQ+ youth and found that the average teenage respondent (age 13 to 17) had come out at 13-years-old, compared to young adult respondents (age 18 to 24), who had come out at 16 years of age, on average. Essentially, that means the kids of today are coming out earlier on average. However, coming out earlier comes with risks, the study authors found....

The Fast and the Furious blockbusters, for all their gleaming cars, booming explosions, and outlandish stunts, are about family. Family of the blood variety and the family we choose. F9, the upcoming ninth entry in a $5 billion franchise, sticks with that winning formula. Expect everything from mega-magnets to vehicles zipping across rickety bridges to a car flying in space. Yes, you read that last one right. And then there’s Dom (Vin Diesel) and Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), and his young son, Marcos, as well as Dom’s sister, Mia (Jordana Brewster), plus their circle of friends/crew, which includes Tej (Chris “Ludacris” Bridges), Ramsey (Nathalie Emmanuel), Roman (Tyrese Gibson), and Han Seoul-Oh (Sung Kang)....

Unfortunately for Meghan Markle, that’s where she’s found herself. As soon as the British press got a sniff that all wasn’t rosy in her relationship with her dad, Thomas, they were never going to let the royal couple – or their butler – quietly sweep the issue under the carpet. The headlines came thick and fast. To recap: Thomas was a recluse who – clutch your pearls – drank beer....

On The Difference Between Comedy, Tragedy, And An ER Visit “Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you walk into an open sewer and die.” On Getting Through The Day “As long as the world is turning and spinning, we’re gonna be dizzy and we’re gonna make mistakes.” On “You Think This Quote Is About You” “A brushstroke of vanity is good to add into the mix, to balance your timidity....

But even more than the loss itself, Osorio seemed to take issue with Brazilian superstar Neymar’s antics during the game. In the second half, Neymar took flopping to its most absurd potential when he began flopping around and screaming hysterically after a light foul, only to be happily trotting around on the pitch a few moments later. Osorio felt this over-the-top display wasn’t just bad for the sport, it’s bad for kids who are watching as well, as they might be learning some bad lessons about fairness and sportsmanship....

1. Polish Up Your Credit Score. Extending a giant loan to a consumer doesn’t come without risk — especially during a recession. That’s why banks and other lenders are likely to reserve their best interest rates for individuals and couples with a strong income history and dazzling credit scores. Boosting that number even a little can often make a substantial dent in your financing costs. Step one: Get a copy of your FICO score, as well as a credit report from each of the three major bureaus at least a couple months before you start house-shopping (you can get a free copy of all three once a year at AnnualCreditReport....

Thanks to a survey of 2,000 men conducted by OnePoll on behalf of Sports Clips Haircuts, we learn that 20 percent of people polled said if they could bring one popular hairstyle back from decades past, it would be classic business-in-the-front party-in-the-back style. The respondents admitted that not everyone can pull off the mullet look and make it look cool. However, the other hair trends they’d like to see brought back may be more universally flattering....

“It’s a melody,” Timbaland says unapologetically. “Kids are always humming melodies. That’s why I say I’m a big kid.” There’s plenty of other stuff to talk about. Born Timothy Zachary Mosley, Timbaland has reshaped the music industry one catchy hook at a time. What does that mean? Essentially that Timbaland, along with his childhood friend Pharrell and Pusha-T, has been integral to an industry-wide effort to make pop music sexy, fun, and self-aware....

Thinking back on our life in India, I recall a modest house with three rooms, a kitchen, a bathroom, and a little room my dad used as a post office. He was a postmaster. I lived in that house with my parents, brother, and four sisters. We weren’t rich or poor. Just a nice, happy, loving family. But my dad always believed a real future for his family could not be found in India....

It’s therapeutic to run, but the truth is, we did it more to be social. Everyone is talking the whole time. We aren’t sitting there sprinting up the hills and being out of breath. We chat. We’re friends. Calling it a “running club” might make it sound way more formal than it is. Basically, we’re a set of dudes who all worked at a company together back in the ’90s....
