The saga began with a tweet King sent last night in which he suggested that Pennywise the clown, the villain from It, do as plenty of other celebrities have done and tape a cameo appearance on Sesame Street. That’s right. King wants a murderous clown to come to the happiest street in America. And, when you consider how scary Oscar the Grouch is, or how terrified sane parents are of Elmo, this is might make some twisted sense....
According to a new study published in the American Heart Association journal Hypertension, people who take frequent naps were more likely to develop high blood pressure or have a stroke than their fully awake and well-rested counterparts. Researchers analyzed the records of 358,451 individuals between the ages of 40 and 69 who lived in the United Kingdom. Their information was collected in the UK Biobank, a database used for biomedical research that followed participants from 2006 to 2010....
For the study, researchers analyzed crash and hospital data collected in Illinois from 2016 through 2019. The researchers, funded by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Illinois Department of Public Health, compared the types of vehicles involved in pedestrian and cyclist strikes with injury and fatality records. They found that although SUVs aren’t the most common vehicle type involved in pedestrian and cyclist strikes, this type of car causes the most severe injuries and fatalities, especially when the victim is a child....
At Toy Fair 2020 Hot Wheels and Mattel released two R/C versions of Elon Musk’s truck —1:10 hobby-grade scale model for $400 and a 1:64 scale model for $20. The $400 version of the sometime-in-the-future-vehicle, made for collectors, has functioning tail- and headlights, all-wheel-drive, full suspension, and that same rocking body geometry. It has two driving modes, “Chill” and “Sport”; in the latter mode, the truck reaches a top speed of 25mph....
When the clock struck midnight last night, the Supreme Court had not responded to an emergency petition from abortion rights groups asking the Court to intervene before the anti-abortion law went into effect on September 1st. The Court’s inaction means that Senate Bill 8 is now the law in Texas and that abortion after six weeks, which makes up 85 to 90 percent of abortions performed in the state, are now criminal acts there....
People have gone to the hospital with carbon monoxide poisoning because they were so desperate to be warm they sat in their garages with their cars on, others have had pipes burst and ruin their homes, have had houses set on fire. In Southern Texas, water boil notices — which is when residents have to boil water before they drink it — have gone out in places where people don’t even have running water, or electricity, or gas to boil that water with....

Fortunately, parents don’t have to sign kids up for an all-day survival course, or even make a big deal out of teaching certain lessons. The trick is to turn day-hikes and camping trips into classrooms. That not only allows your kids to glean necessary survival wisdom from you, but also gives them the opportunity to try it all first hand and enjoy themselves. How to Get Clean Water So, next time you find yourself out in nature with the kids on a hike, make sure you go somewhere with natural water sources....
What’s Paw Patrol About? Paw Patrol is an animated kid’s show that airs on Nickelodeon. The show revolves around the titular Paw Patrol, a group of talking dogs who each serve an essential function in the mishap-prove town of Adventure Bay. Each episode follows the Paw Patrol crew as they have to rescue the town from an issue tailor-made for them to solve while also learning some vague lesson about friendship and teamwork....
A number of educators responded in kind to the suggestion that they should be carrying guns (most notably vocalized by President Donald Trump) via the hashtag #ArmMeWith on social media. While they all had different ways of saying it, the argument from teachers who voiced their opinions boiled down this they are teachers, not security guards; they need funding for such things as school supplies, books, nurses, and school psychologists, not instructions on how to properly discharge a weapon....

Twix Best with: A Hefeweizen like Funky Buddha’s Floridian Hefeweizen, Star Hill’s The Love Wheat Beer, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.’s Kellerweis Why? Matthew Stock, beer specialist for The Brass Tap, says that notes of banana and clove in wheat beers like Hefeweizens pair nicely with the caramel and shortbread flavors in Twix bars. Reese’s Best with: A peanut butter porter (which seems obvious in retrospect) like Horny Goat Brewing Co.’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter Why?...
“Dinosaurs are exciting and powerful but relatable,” says education professor Keith Sawyer, who studies and teaches about creativity at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. “In the case of dinosaurs, both boys and girls play with them. It’s not gendered. That’s a really good thing.” Of course, kids’ love for dinosaurs is ubiquitous, meaning that it can be hard to sort through the options and find the best dinosaur toys based on your kid’s interest....
The proper glove can make all the difference when it comes to scooping up a grounder or snagging a fly ball. Many T-ball or youth gloves are often designed to open and close more easily than a standard baseball glove, for instance. And many come 100 percent broken-in, so kids can play from day one rather than spend a week oiling/staring at a belt-wrapped glove on the shelf. Most use a soft leather or leather-like material with extra palm padding to protect little hands....
But what should you look for in a good sandal? Before you start shopping, there are a few things to keep in mind, courtesy of the American Podiatric Medical Association: Make sure the flip-flop bends at the ball of the foot, and also make sure that your heel doesn’t hang off of the edge. Buy new ones regularly because these babies wear out, fast. And this sounds obvious, but because of the risk of injury, don’t do yard work, play sports, or operate heavy machinery while wearing a pair....
“Music builds memories and connections, develops early literacy and math skills, and feeds creativity. In short, a musical household is a wonderful thing to provide. When you bounce your baby, sing and dance with your children, and play instruments together, it isn’t just fun– it’s fantastic for your child!” says Deanne Kells, Vice President of Product Development for Kindermusik. To find some of the best ones out there we turned to Kells and Kindermusik, one of the leading childhood music programs in the world....
Picking the best pull-up bar is a balance between the max weight limit you need and where you’ll be mounting it. The easiest to install are the doorway pull-up bars that pop on and off the jamb. Others bolt to the ceiling or upper part of the wall. And if you have the room, a dedicated piece of equipment or free-standing pull-up bar can help you integrate some other moves into your workout....
According to the pros at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital, skating makes for invigorating outdoor exercise, provided you follow some basic safety precautions. Make sure your little athlete wears a helmet specifically for skating; these come down lower in the back to protect the skull in case of a backwards fall. Make sure the helmet fits properly, with the chin strap snug under the chin. And kids should wear knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist guards because of those things called broken bones and sprains....
The Best: A Framed picture. The Worst: A Christmas Ornament. “One year a student got me a framed picture of a peony. The picture itself wasn’t anything special — it was probably just a Google Image search. But, from what I remember, the only time I ever mentioned loving peonies was during the first week-ish of school. The fact that the student remembered that was so thoughtful, and made me so happy....
