Ava and her brother Reid were both in school the day that a gunman took four lives at Oxford High and, while still recovering from the tragic shooting, she showed up at America’s Got Talent in hopes that her singing will help people heal. “I chose the song ‘Remember’ by Lauren Daigle,” Ava told judge Simon Cowell. “I chose this song because back on November 30, my brother and I were part of the Oxford school shooting....

The original Wedding Crashers—about a pair of BFF bros (Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn) who hunt for easy hookups at strangers’ nuptials until they meet their respective romantic matches in two beautiful sisters (Rachel McAdams and Isla Fisher)—was a major blockbuster, earning more than $200 million at the U.S. box office (and more than $288 million worldwide) on a $40 million budget. It became one of the highest-grossing R-rated comedies ever and turned Wilson and Vaughn into one of the most beloved and hilarious onscreen duos in recent history—all of which makes it quite strange that a followup flick never happened… until, it seems, now!...

Tomorrow, the Rowan County School System will be closed due to weather. In my teenage years, those words on the school system’s automated phone line were music. Magic. In the kitchen at my parent’s house, friends gathered around. I would call that number on the landline with the twisty cord, wait a few minutes and then hit redial. Then another friend would take my place. When the message changed from “will operate on a normal school schedule” to “will be closed,” it was like Halley’s Comet—rare and wonderful, beautiful and ethereal, and the person who got to hear it first was the true champion....

While there are different causes for disordered eating, one of the most common is when the behavior is modeled or reinforced by a parent. In recent months, the term “almond mom” has gone viral after an older video resurfaced of Yolanda Hadid telling her model daughter Gigi—in response to her saying “I feel weak”—to eat a few almonds and chew them really well. After this video resurfaced, more people on social media have begun sharing their experiences and ideas about eating from parent to child....

Although on paper gentle parenting sounds like it would be easy, when emotions are high it’s actually a lot easier to react in anger. This in turn can lead to harsh punishment that is usually more severe than what the situation really requires. As parents, it’s important to remember that we are always teaching and our kids are always watching. Author of Raising Good Humans: A Mindful Guide to Breaking the Cycle of Reactive Parenting and Raising Kind, Confident Kids and “Mindful Mama Mentor” Hunter Clarke-Fields, MSAE, E-RYT, has many helpful tips in her book....

With symptoms that can include feelings of hopelessness, loss of interest or pleasure, irritability or anger, difficulty sleeping, decreased energy, and thoughts of death or suicide, it’s a condition that can benefit greatly from family and social support. In fact, some studies have suggested that support can decrease the risk of depression in the first place. But how do you properly support a loved one or friend who’s going through depression?...

If you’ve tested positive for COVID in the past three months, the odds are that you’ve been infected with Omicron. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, this subvariant accounts for essentially all COVID infections right now. Cases of the Delta variant, which struck several states particularly hard in the summer and fall of 2021, have now decreased and are essentially zero. But just because Delta infections have declined doesn’t mean many aren’t still experiencing the variant’s effects....

Lent is typically observed by various denominations of Christianity, such as Roman Catholics, Lutherans, Anglicans and more. The word “Lent” comes from the longer Old English word “lencten,” which means “spring.” Although the period of Lent begins in the winter on “Ash Wednesday” (we’ll also cover what this day signifies), it continues into the spring season, concluding on the weekend of Easter Sunday. Already, you might be thinking that “Ash Wednesday” and “giving things up” don’t necessarily sound like celebratory events, but while the observance of Lent has solemn components to it, it’s also filled with hope, faith, and striving to focus more on God and less on self....

Knight, Chyler Leigh and Eric Dane also left the show after their characters were killed), it’s the first time one of them has been taken off the board in an act of cold-blooded murder. How did Andrew DeLuca die on Grey’s Anatomy?...

However, the wording was a bit cagey, saying she will make her last appearance as a series regular, meaning she could appear as a guest star in next season’s episodes. Also, according to Deadline, the plan for Boone’s departure has been in place for quite some time in order to give the writers time to appropriately plot her exit. When The Blacklist premiered, Raymond “Red” Reddington (James Spader), who was on the FBI’s Most Wanted List, turned himself into the law enforcement agency in order to make a deal....
