5 Basic Manners Every Parent Should Teach Their Child Saying 'please' and 'thank you' is one of the most basic yet essential manners that every child should learn. These two phrases show appreciation and respect for others, and their use can go a long way in making a good impression. 1. Saying Please and Thank You Teach your child to keep their elbows off the table, not to talk with their mouth full, and to chew slowly and quietly. Also, teach them to wait for everyone to be served before starting to eat and to say 'excuse me' if they need to leave the table. 2. Using Good Table Manners Respecting elders is an important aspect of good manners.

NBC Cuts ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon’ Back To Four Nights A Week NBC is cutting “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” down to four nights a week. The long-running program — which premiered in 1954 and has been helmed by Fallon for a decade — will nix its Friday night taping and air reruns, according to Variety. NBC has not given an official reason for the cut, but the network has recently been examining the costs associated with its late-night offerings amid shrinking ratings. It’s unclear whether Fallon’s purported $16 million per year paycheck will be affected by the change. NBC is cutting “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” down to four nights a week.

The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon: Scheduling Changes Lead To Reduced Episodes Per Week Starting September 2024, NBC's The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon will undergo some changes. It will air only four new episodes per week and it is part of a trend hitting late-night TV. Similar moves are being made by shows like The Late Show with Stephen Colbert and Late Night with Seth Meyers. This move is part of a greater trend where networks have started to scale back on live airings due to fewer viewers and increased competition from streamers such as YouTube and TikTok. NBC confirmed Fallon's show will air new episodes from Monday to Thursday and reruns will fill the Friday slot. This is a huge shift for a show that aired five nights a week for 60 years. Fallon's Tonight Show is staying put as he signed a new deal with NBC, so he's not going anywhere until at least 2028. These changes are mostly about the money but also reflect the hard times traditional TV face...

Lula's Controversial Road: Paving The Way To Deforestation Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has officially committed to the contentious task of finishing the BR-319 highway, which cuts through a pristine segment of the Amazon rainforest. This decision has drawn severe criticism from environmental scientists who warn of catastrophic deforestation. Facing intense pressure, Lula is advocating for the project's completion due to a record drought that has lowered river water levels, hindering transportation routes like the Madeira River. 'While the Madeira river was navigable, the highway did not have the importance it has now. We are going to finish it with the greatest responsibility,' Lula stated. The 900 km roadway has faced opposition from environmentalists and conflicting views within Lula's administration. Yet, Lula insists on pressing forward, arguing that economic and sustainable development in the Amazon is crucial for Brazil's future.

productivity without the dreaded caffeine crash. From Memory Foam to Hybrids: The Best Mattresses You Can Buy According to Our Experts See all photos Why we feel sleepy in the afternoon The natural dip in energy and focus that you feel after lunchtime is known as the "afternoon slump." This is part of your circadian rhythm, the biological clock inside your body that regulates your sleep cycle. It's caused by fluctuations in hormones and neurotransmitters, particularly cortisol and adenosine. Cortisol makes you feel awake and alert. Cortisol levels in the body are generally higher when you first wake up and decrease steadily throughout the day. However, your body produces more cortisol in response to certain stimuli, such as exercise, which is why an afternoon workout can make you feel more awake. Adenosine, on the other hand, makes you feel sleepy, and your body secretes more of it as the day goes on. (Fun fact: Caffeine blocks adenosine receptors on your cells,...
