[ad_1] Kids can be quite sensitive about what you say to them. Here are 10 things you should never tease your kids about. [ad_2] Source link https://worldnews2023.com/life-style/10-things-you-should-never-tease-your-child-about/?feed_id=331201&_unique_id=6786290b9345d

Chiseled Cheekbones and Comic Chops: Why We Don’t Like Our Stand-Ups Hunky

Image
[ad_1] My first thought upon seeing the stand-up comic Matt Rife, before knowing much of anything about him, was that I didn’t like him. This wasn’t a considered opinion, so much as a knee-jerk prejudice. Critics should be transparent about their biases, so let me confess one: I am skeptical of hot men in comedy. And I’m not the only one. To be clear, I’m not proud of this. Matt Rife can’t help the fact that he has high cheekbones, which have played a role in both his meteoric rise and the grumbling in some comedy circles. Rife, who makes his Netflix debut on Wednesday with “Natural Selection,” went viral on TikTok during the pandemic and then put out two specials on YouTube that together racked up nearly 30 million views, a staggering achievement. Of these three hours, he addresses his appearance most directly in the first, when he says it’s tough to be handsome in comedy. Sure, he gets plenty of attention from women, he explained, but that doesn’t help his confidence or anxiet...

The Frothy Saga of the Jacuzzi Family

Image
[ad_1] Candido Jacuzzi didn’t set out to turn his last name into a global brand. Nor did he intend to power a business which, though it created the family fortune, nearly tore them apart. He just wanted to ease the physical pain suffered by his son, any way he could. The Jacuzzi — that vessel of bubbling water known and loved the world over — may now be geared for backyard socializing, a must-have for yachts, hotels and chalets, spring break parties and cruise liners, but its technology was conceived with just one person in mind: Kenneth Jacuzzi, a boy under 2 years old, stricken with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis after a severe case of strep throat. This empire starts, and ends, with family — seven brothers, to be exact, Candido being the seventh. It begins long before his son’s diagnosis in 1943, although that was the catalyst. The Jacuzzis were, at the turn of the 20th century, a large clan in Casarsa, a farming commune in Northern Italy. Growing up on this hilltop surrounded b...

Type of underwear you should wear to bed - Times of India

Image
[ad_1] When it comes to beauty sleep, comfort is everything. After a long day, nothing beats slipping into cozy pajamas and settling in for a good night's rest. However, one aspect of sleepwear that often gets overlooked is the type of underwear we wear to bed. While many people may choose to forego underwear altogether, those who do wear it may be unwittingly harming their health by choosing uncomfortable styles. Wearing uncomfortable underwear to bed can cause a host of health problems. For one, constricting underwear can restrict blood flow to the area, which can lead to a variety of issues, including skin irritation, chafing, and even infections. In addition, underwear that is too tight or too loose can cause discomfort and lead to tossing and turning, which can disrupt sleep and leave you feeling groggy the next day. But what exactly makes underwear uncomfortable? For starters, the type of fabric used can play a significant role. Synthetic materials like nylon or polyest...

At Bard, a Festival Argues for the Music of Vaughan Williams

Image
[ad_1] If anything, Vaughan Williams got a little lost in the bravura breadth of the programming on the first weekend, though he is less likely to after the second, which will feature an exceedingly rare production of his Falstaff opera, “Sir John in Love,” the “Sinfonia Antartica” and the Symphony No. 8 , as well as a smattering of works for smaller ensembles. Of the six concerts I heard, one surveyed the popular music of Vaughan Williams’s time, with which he appeared to have barely a tenuous connection, while two were dedicated to his scores alone. Three other performances roamed the contexts in which he worked, and they were outstanding, an ideal fusion of intellectual insight and musical integrity. The first, introduced by the musicologist Eric Saylor, sketched out the dominance of Brahms in turn-of-the-century British composition, through Parry, Stanford, Bruch and the like; another, with winking commentary from Adams, looked at art songs. The third investigated the fraugh...

Usher Lives Out a Childhood Dream at the Apollo

Image
[ad_1] Usher, an eight-time Grammy winner, has won many awards in his 30-year career. But the one he received on Tuesday night at the Apollo Theater in Harlem was special, he said. “It’s the prestige,” said the R&B singer, who arrived in a black S.U.V. surrounded by phone-wielding fans to the red carpet outside the theater, which was celebrating its 90th birthday at its annual spring benefit. Along with Babyface, Usher was at the Apollo, which opened in 1934 and has played host to numerous venerated musicians including Billie Holiday, James Brown and Aretha Franklin, for a celebratory concert and an awards ceremony. He and Babyface, the singer-songwriter and producer who has won 12 Grammy Awards, received Icon and Legacy awards from the organization, respectively, for their contributions to music. Gov. Kathy Hochul; the Rev. Al Sharpton; Jordin Sparks, the singer and “American Idol” winner; Ava DuVernay; the filmmaker and screenwriter; and Big Daddy Kane, the rapper, were amon...

Martha Stewart says her ‘friendly’ pet peacocks ‘talk’ to her

Image
[ad_1] Stay ahead of the trend in fashion and beyond with our free weekly Lifestyle Edit newsletter Stay ahead of the trend in fashion and beyond with our free weekly Lifestyle Edit newsletter Martha Stewart has said that her pet peacocks , which live in an enclosure on her 153-acre farm in New York, respond only to her when she talks to them. The lifestyle icon, 82, has a special relationship with the more than 20 dramatically feathered birds that roam in a yard on her farm. She described them as “very friendly”, adding: “They talk to me. Whenever I go to their enclosure, I talk to them. I go, ‘Awk, awk’. “I make their noise and they talk right back to me. Everybody laughs when they see that because I’m the only one they respond to.” Stewart detailed how each peacock has a different personality and told People magazine: “Some are shyer than others.

Hair-dryer to Razor, Simple Steps to Get Rid of Lint From Woolen Clothes

Image
[ad_1] Last Updated: January 06, 2023, 18:49 IST Although lint does not damage clothes, it can make your winter fashion look bleak by giving the garments a worn-out and old texture. Running a razor through your lint-infused clothes is another amazing way to get rid of the hair and grime stuck to the outfits. Winter and woollen garments go hand-in-hand. When the freezing temperatures make us shiver to our bones, woollen sweaters, cardigans, pullovers, and caps become our best friends. However, regular use of woollen outfits results in the formation of lint in them. Although lint does not damage clothes, it can make your winter fashion look bleak by giving the garments a worn-out and old texture. Even after washing woollen clothes, the stubborn lint once again reappears on them. If you too are troubled with lint sticking out from your woollen outfits, here are five simple strategies that might help you out.

How Far Would You Go for Midcentury Furniture?

Image
[ad_1] The credenza in the back of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van groaned as Lars Balderskilde drove through the woodlands near Vejle, a city on a fjord about two and a half hours from Copenhagen. It was late January, and after passing a lake filled with swans, Mr. Balderskilde stopped at a house where he picked up an old bar cabinet that he paid for in cash. Then came stops at other homes to collect nesting tables and a mirror. The sun had set by the time he met Nina Toft and Grethe Kock, two sisters, at the home of their mother, whose funeral they had hosted earlier that day. “It’s always emotional, but you have to let go,” Ms. Toft said to Mr. Balderskilde, who had come to look at various pieces in the house. Ms. Kock showed him a tiny clay bird that she had made as a girl. “I’ll give you a good deal,” she said, jokingly. Mr. Balderskilde did not take the bird. But he did fill the van with a teak dresser and bookcase the sisters’ parents had owned since the 1950s, a desk, a blu...
