In this photo illustration, the Roblox app seen displayed on a smartphone screen and a Roblox logo in the background. The platform also serves as a digital social hub where users can connect with their friends online and attend virtual events. Roblox has 79.5 million average daily active users as of the second quarter of 2024, according to the company's fiscal Q2 2024 earnings report released on Aug. 1. In fiscal year 2023, Roblox counted 68.4 million daily active users, a majority of them younger than 25.

Related storiesHowever, I feel the impact and reward of my job as a stay-at-home dad more than I did as an engineer. It also underscores the demands of being a stay-at-home parent — there are no breaks, no sick days, and no PTO. This always prompts a pause before I reveal I'm a stay-at-home dad.

Her first birthday party became a family reunion and an event to mark what felt like the toughest part of the pandemic. It seems like there's another birthday party every weekThat first birthday party was more than three years ago. It's also hard to remember to buy a gift for such-and-so's birthday party this weekend, with everything else we have going on during the week. I decided to ask parents not to buy gifts for my daughtersThat's when my idea was born: I would directly ask parents NOT to buy new gifts for our daughters' birthday parties. Additionally, I would encourage parents to reuse old gift bags, wrapping paper, and ribbon to wrap them.

It seemed like I had just about reached everything I had wished for when my life took a turn. I have accidentally baffled many American parents by raising my children like kids are raised in the Nordics, embracing all types of weather and encouraging them to be independent. AdvertisementAt elementary age, I have them schedule their playdates so they call their friends' parents to organize them. And, after school, I suggest they skip homework to get that essential playtime outside after school instead (the American school day is two to three hours longer than the Finnish one, with less recess). I also don't spend much time entertaining my kids, allowing them to take the lead in creating their own fun.

Case in point: the PowerPoint party, where people get together to show each other presentations on various topics in the name of having fun. It's a chance to be creative and turn something you do at work into something silly and social. The rise of the PowerPoint party also speaks to the workification of our day-to-day lives. Perhaps it's no surprise that young adults who had their childhood activities scheduled down to the minute are embracing the PowerPoint party. If you absolutely insist on having a PowerPoint party, God bless.

Sidestep injury with the lateral lunge
  + stars: | 2024-04-25 | by ( Dana Santas | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
The side or lateral lunge is one of the best exercises for building lateral stability and mobility in the often neglected frontal plane. The side lunge also improves the mobility and stability of your hips, knees and ankles to avoid related strains and sprains. By strengthening the muscles involved in lateral movement with side lunges, you can accomplish these chores more efficiently while reducing your risk of muscle strain or injury. Training with side lunges can increase your lateral movement strength, enhance your mobility and boost your confidence to be more adventurous outdoors. The side or lateral lunge strengthens the quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, adductors and core to help you ward off injuries.

But at least they don’t urinate on them. The same cannot be said for the competitors in the Puppy Bowl, Animal Planet’s canine football game that takes place in October but does not air until the afternoon of Super Bowl Sunday. The event’s referee, Dan Schachner, stays ready for all eventualities by keeping five identical uniforms in his dressing room so he can change when accidents occur. Mr. Schachner, 49, admitted he had gotten lax about handing out penalties for “premature watering of the lawn” since he began calling the game in 2011. “We have a game to play.”This year’s Puppy Bowl, which will be televised at 2 p.m. Eastern time on Sunday, is the 20th edition of the event, a milestone for a program that began as a tongue-in-cheek feed of puppy playtime before evolving into a counterprogramming juggernaut.

For some, the seasonal shift can lead to a clinically depressive state aptly called seasonal affective disorder, or SAD. Even better, it takes less effort than you might think to realize the mental benefits. Below, I’ve outlined four science-backed ways you can become more active to boost your mental health and ease the winter blues. Meeting the World Health Organization’s guidelines of 2.5 hours of moderate exercise weekly provides maximum overall physical and mental health benefits, but studies have shown that even relatively small doses of activity offer significant mental health benefits. Whatever form of exercise you choose, adding just a little more physical activity into your life will provide noticeable mood-boosting benefits to help you get past the seasonal slump.

CNN —Newly freed hostages and detainees may experience a range of layered psychological impacts including anxiety, depression, disorientation, grief, post-traumatic stress and survivor’s guilt as they return home and beyond the Israel-Hamas truce, experts say. Over the first four days, Hamas released 69 hostages and Israel freed 150 Palestinians from prison, many of whom were detained but never charged. Eth has not been involved in the hostages’ care, but he said that those who have been released may undergo medical evaluations that might include “very careful” psychological and psychiatric evaluations. Those evaluations could involve looking for signs of traumatic brain injury, post-traumatic stress disorder or other psychological conditions. “Some might look like they’re doing very well, like they’re resilient early on, and then develop serious symptoms later.

What to say right after schoolBe patient and wait until your child is ready to talk, Deiros Collado said. Only when kids are calm and their basic needs are met can they hold a meaningful conversation," Deiros Collado said. "What" is a much better way to begin, Deiros Collado said. "What did [a teacher or friend] say today?" It's also important to talk about emotions, as they can "show you a different side of your child's day," Deiros Collado said.

After two years of receiving federal subsidies, 220,000 child care programs across the country were cut off from funding Saturday. The largest investment in child care in U.S. history, the monthly payments ranged from hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars, and stabilized the industry during the COVID-19 pandemic. She said taxpayers will end up paying more in the long run to welfare programs if the government doesn't make investments now in child care. There are just two child care centers in the entire county, and the community can't afford to lose either one, she said. If West Virginia wants to grow its economy, child care is part the infrastructure necessary for that to happen, Tiffany Gale said.

Walkr is a Taiwanese gamification app that incentivizes users to walk by rewarding them with planets. In my experience though, the app motivates you to walk more through peer pressure than gamification. Much as I loved my experience of using it, I'm torn about recommending this app for three reasons. Basically, I'm driven by "extrinsic motivation," or motivation that is driven by external rewards — like planets, points, or game achievements. Fourdesire CEO Wei-Fan Chen told Insider they're still working on making the Walkr app more user-friendly and enjoyable to use, and are taking inspiration from user stories.
