In this 39-second video, we meet 9-week-old Peanut, an adorable golden retriever puppy that just wants a treat. Peanut's devious loving owners have decided to put her to the test: Can she resist the delicious, delicious kibbles placed on her paw, or will she succumb to temptation?

I'm not a dog, but I can totally identify with this Sophie's Choice moment Peanut is having. (Replace kibbles with sea salt dark chocolate, and you have my typical Friday night.) Should Peanut eat the tantalizing treats within mouth's reach and risk punishment, or should she trust that her owners will reward her for her obedience? Spoiler alert: Peanut makes the right decision and goes with door number two. Based on the cute factor alone, this patient puppy deserves an extra treat.

The Hunger Games star took Kylie Jenner to task on Instagram when Jenner posted a photo of her new hairstyle: cornrows.

"I woke up like disss," Jenner captioned the pic, and Stenberg, who has a history of speaking out about race issues, especially racial appropriation, was quick to respond in a pretty harsh way.

"@novemberskyys when u appropriate black features and culture but fail to use ur position of power to help black Americans by directing attention towards ur wigs instead of police brutality or racism #whitegirlsdoitbetter," Stenberg commented on the photo, which has received more than 1 million likes on the photo sharing network.

Jenner wasn't having any of it, though, and replied to the comment, "@amandlastenberg Mad if I don't, Mad if I do…. Go hang w Jaden or something," referencing Jaden Smith, who was Stenberg's prom date.

Neither star has addressed the fight any further, but fans have stepped in to join a racially charged debate in the photo's comments.

"When people act like racism doesn't exist is the same as walking past a person laying on the floor in agony. You see that person in pain you just chose to ignore it. Culture appropriations is a form of racism when done in a negative light," one user commented. Another added, "This is why I do not support the Kardashians."

Still others spoke in support of Jenner, many saying they didn't see what all the fuss was about.

"honestly I have never heard of or seen any black person be oppressed because of wearing a braid or anything closely related to that. But I don't know I guess everyone thinks differently so," another fan commented.

The "Before He Cheats" singer revealed in a tweet Saturday that her dogs locked themselves in her car while her 4-month-old son, Isaiah, was also inside, a potentially dangerous situation on a hot summer day.

"When your dogs manage to lock themselves, all your stuff & the baby in the car & you have to break a window to get in," she tweeted to her fans, along with the hashtag #WhatAreTheChances.

Fans and other stars were quick to share their concern, including Lady Antebellum singer Hillary Scott, who replied to Underwood's tweet, "Oh. My. Word. I know your heart stopped! Glad all your babies are okay!"

And for concerned fans, Underwood followed up later in the day with another tweet explaining that her brother-in-law was the one who got to smash the window the free the pooches and baby.

"I should clarify," she wrote. "My bro-in-law was actually the window breaker in the 'dogs-locked-the-car-door' incident today! But all is good now!"

She added a few moments later, "Minus the broken window, of course!"

Underwood and her husband, Mark Fisher, welcomed little Isaiah back in February of this year. Before that, they treated their two dogs like their children, even announcing their pregnancy by dressing the pooches in "big brother" and "big sister" T-shirts.

"Sophia lost her 2 front teeth! Busy #ToothFairy," Abraham captioned the shot. But if you look a little closer, past the kid's big, toothless smile, you'll see the bounty the Tooth Fairy left for Sophia, and let's just say Farrah Abraham is using a better Tooth Fairy than I ever got.

Amid an assortment of Claire's jewelry is a stack of hundred-dollar bills. It's hard to tell for sure, but it looks like six of them. Sophia's doing just a little better than the 50 cents my Tooth Fairy used to leave me.

But hey, to each mom her own, as far as I'm concerned. Many people on Twitter don't seem to agree.

One user tweeted, "did you really give her $600 for two teeth? You really are delusional." Another chimed in, "it's bad enough a kid gets $600 for doing nothing but growing up, but what announce it to the world?!"

And, of course, there's the one fan who had the idea we all wish we'd come up with first.

10. Bulldog

The bulldog has a sturdy build that is perfect for kids who like to roughhouse. Only between 12 and 16 inches in height and weighing about 50 pounds, the bulldog is comfortable living in large houses as well as apartments. However, it won't win any awards for "most energetic dog." A docile, friendly and loyal dog, it gets along well with other pets and dogs, too.

But its temperament with kids is all but famous. As intimidating as it looks, they're friendly and gentle with kids and known for their guarding capabilities and courage.

9. Beagle

Originally kept as hunting dogs, beagles fit well in homes with active kids, as they are sturdily built and never too tired to play a game. Friendly, clever and cheerful, if properly socialized with non-canine animals, the beagle usually gets along with other pets, too (except for a bit of chasing here and there). They do shed and require frequent brushing and bathing, however.

About 15 inches tall and around 22 pounds, they are great little apartment dogs, but they do need lots of exercise, so plan to take them on a brisk daily walk to make sure they live out their full 12 to 15 years of life. Always keep them on a lead or in the confines of a well-fenced yard, though. They really do follow their noses and may wander off on adventures.

While your beagle most likely won't have a bird named Woodstock as his best friend, you can, by all means, name him (or her) Snoopy.

8. Bull terrier

The bull terrier can get quite rambunctious and requires plenty of playtime. Therefore, it is a perfect dog for a large family. The bull terrier will return your affection by being very protective of your children for its average decade-long life expectancy.

Often mistaken for the larger pit bull, the bull terrier was bred to be a companion dog — friendly and loving toward grownups and kids alike. This well-framed dog also has a high threshold for pain, making it perfect for rambunctious children who are learning how to properly treat dogs.

The bull terrier comes in two sizes which are standard (about 22 inches and anywhere between 40 and 85 pounds) and miniature (roughly half the size of the standard), so choose your size based on the size of your home. But note that even the little ones need plenty of exercise.

7. Collie

This is the dog breed Lassie made famous. Collies are a very gentle and predictable breed, rarely biting its human family and easily trainable, perfect for families that are unfamiliar with dogs.

While this breed is typically mild mannered (like Clark Kent!), it was originally bred as a herding dog, so it may try to herd your children. This might be amusing at first, but it's probably best to discourage the child-herding (no matter how handy you may think it could be). The collie's long hair means it requires regular grooming to keep its coat in tip-top shape. Collies get along great with children and love to please their owners and protect their family.

At about 25 inches tall and 60 pounds, you may think they're inappropriate for apartment living, but as long as they do get exercise, they're pretty docile indoors. For a larger dog, they live a very long life of about 14 to 16 years.

Nicknamed "nature's babysitter," the Newfoundland dog loves children and is very protective of them. Gentle, kind and patient, this breed is almost like the Mother Teresa of dogs. The Newfoundland is about 27 inches tall and weighs as much as 150 pounds, so it best suits a family with large open spaces at home.

And although it is known to drool and shed excessively, it is not considered a proper dog for the yard. This breed wants to be inside with its family. Wouldn't you? The Newfoundland is also a great swimmer and has been known to save lives in emergency situations. Both young and old will quickly fall in love with this wonderfully sweet, large dog.

5. Vizsla

This may be a breed you haven't heard of before, but it's actually one of the best dog breeds for kids. The vizsla has a gentle disposition and manner, and is loyal, affectionate and quiet, perfect for your little ones to play with.

Additionally, it is obedient, confident and smart, forming close bonds with its family and able to learn new tricks quickly. Best of all, the vizsla has very little "doggy" smell about it.

Only a little shorter than the Newfoundland (around 23 inches) and weighing around 50 pounds, you might be tempted to subject them to apartment life, but that's not a good idea. It might be too rambunctious indoors and needs at least an average-size backyard to play in. Make sure they're happy and healthy, and they can live up to 15 years.

4. Irish setter

Known for its red coat, the Irish setter is playful, energetic, loves being around people and plays well with children. This doggy needs lots of exercise and is a good match for energetic kids.

A smart and trainable companion, the Irish setter is perfect for people with lots of space, but isn't what one would call a good apartment dweller. At 26 inches high and about 65 pounds, it may seem small enough for a large apartment, but I'd avoid it unless you're an avid daily jogger.

3. Poodle

Often given rather curious haircuts by their owners, the poodle is a very smart and gentle dog. It's also great for kids with allergies, as it sheds very little; it does, however, require scheduled grooming.

This is a proud and elegant dog that is both caring and loyal. Seldom annoyed or bored, the poodle's friendly demeanor, good nature and patience make it an excellent playing partner for any child.

Generally, the larger breeds are best for kids, but if you're vigilant about obedience training, smaller versions won't develop small dog syndromes that often make them a danger to kids and adults alike. Sizes vary, but you can choose between toy, miniature and standard.

This is one of the most popular dog breeds, and for good reason — it is protective, playful, loving, patient and reliable. The Lab's beauty is only matched by its sweet personality and intelligence. What does this mean for you? It's your perfect family pet.

They live between 10 and 12 years, though they're prone to mass cell tumors, which can shorten life expectancy. They're also fairly large dogs — about 23 inches tall and 65 pounds, though some males can get as big as 100 pounds. They're not recommended for small apartments or houses with small yards, but with adequate exercise in a spacious apartment, they can adapt to apartment life.

Up next: Golden retriever

1. Golden retriever

At an average of only 22 inches and a typical max weight of only 80 pounds, it's not quite as big as the Lab, but the golden retriever is a kind, smart, confident and loyal dog. Neither aggressive nor timid, the golden retriever is extremely patient, which is perfect for kids. While it does need a lot of exercise, its love of play makes this an easy thing to achieve.

They have the same life expectancy of the Lab as well as similar health problems (mass cell tumors may limit their 10 to 12 years), and while they aren't considered large, smaller apartments probably aren't a great idea.

So now that you know a thing or two about kid-friendly dogs, choosing one for your home and your family should be a little bit simpler. Remember, highly-strung small dogs are usually not the best choice for children, though there are some to choose from if you have a small apartment. Also, keep in mind that mutts from the pound are a fantastic option, as they are often more docile and well-tempered.

Good luck finding the best dog for your family!

Loved ones have been working your last nerve for weeks and it all comes to a head on July 15 when you finally explode. There's no denying that they've had this coming, but given the Mars/Mercury conjunction it's likely you'll say some things you'll regret. Part of you will feel like it's important to be honest while another part will feel guilty. Listen to your conscience and take back some of what you said. The fact that you're being candid about going overboard will do a lot to heal hurt feelings and get loved ones to lighten up.

It's hard to believe that it's not about you, but try on July 13. Love relationships are always strained when Venus squares Saturn and this particular one will be especially stinging because Saturn is in Scorpio. This will bring out a lot of unspoken resentments and unflattering truths. Most of this has to do with your partner's feelings of inadequacy (and maybe even envy) so try to understand. He may stumble over his words and feelings as he struggles to make himself clear, but you need to know that he's trying to connect with you — not make an exit.

Go ahead and ask him why he's so cranky, but try to be good-humored about it.

You've rehearsed the conversation again and again in your mind. You know you should take the high road and that there's nothing to be gained by sinking to his level. Unfortunately, all of that mindfulness will be thrown out the window when Mercury conjoins Mars on July 15. This will bring up all of the anger and hurt that's been building up inside and the only way to exorcise it is to express it. Sometimes you just have to put decorum aside and speak from your gut. Rest assured that you'll feel a lot better because of it.

This was fine when you started dating but it's been a while now and it's not unreasonable for him to want something more substantial for the future.

Mad Men took viewers through the '60s with vibrant and, at times, maddeningly poetic storytelling. When Don Draper sat meditating, thinking up the most infamous ad of all time in the final shot of the series, it truly was the closing of one of TV's greatest chapters. It can feel like nothing will ever fill the void left behind — but there is another period drama firing on all emotional cylinders over on Showtime, and that drama is Masters of Sex.

More: Masters of Sex creator talks repressed '50s, how she fell for Masters and Johnson and more

Now entering its third season, Masters of Sex is leaving the repressed '50s behind and bringing sex researchers William Masters and Virginia Johnson into the thick of the sexual revolution. The first episode back brings this bold new world into sharp focus. Where once William and Virginia were viewed as deviants, they are now hailed as visionaries. While the public is busy embracing their work, their private lives have become infinitely more complicated.

Nowhere is this more evident than in the relationship between Virginia and William's wife, Libby. As Libby tells Virginia, "I think we understand each other more than either of us understands Bill." The two women in William's life have formed a kinship with each other. Their complex inner lives are just as rich as Peggy's, Joan's and Betty's ever were. They both love the same man, but it is not William who defines them.

If you need a specific scene to get you hooked, look no further than Virginia and Libby's intimate talk as they lie side by side in bed on a joint family vacation. William has exiled himself to the yard rather than sleep with his wife, but Libby crawls in with Virginia and bravely, unabashedly confesses that she is taking anxiety medication to cope with her strained marriage, the shifting world around her and because she is tired of everything. She only asks Virginia to allow William to stay married to her for the sake of the children and nothing more. Then she kisses Virginia just to know what it feels like.

More: It took seven seasons, but Mad Men finally did right by Betty

It is a breathtaking moment between two women who society dictates should hate each other, but they don't. They have found themselves in a strange situation, but first and foremost they are mothers, friends and women. Virginia is fighting for respect in her field, and it is Libby who supports her need to go back to school. The '60s bring a new culture for the series to explore, but the need for women to prove themselves in every aspect of their lives remains the same.

In some ways, Masters of Sex surpasses Mad Men in terms of its female characters. There is an intimacy to the way the series allows the viewer to see this era through the eyes of Libby and Virginia (and the wonderful secretary, Betty). Now that Masters of Sex has leaped ahead in time, Virginia's daughter is also on hand to illustrate what it was like to be 15 and on the forefront of not only the sexual revolution but the second-wave feminist movement.

Masters of Sex is about liberation even as the movement is spearheaded by William, one of the most remarkably emotionally repressed characters on TV. He is cold and distant, passionate about his work and little else. He is an absent father and husband, but he is present as a lover and a researcher. He's no Don Draper, but that's fine.

Masters of Sex doesn't need to bother replicating Mad Men. We have seen the '60s through the eyes of ad executives struggling to adapt to an ever-changing world.

Since her debut on the cover of Vanity Fair a few short weeks ago, she has become the new face of the LGBT community and just landed a column on a popular website. It is fair to say that Caitlyn Jenner is the hottest ticket in town right now — so much so that it appears her hat is being thrown into the political ring.

But not how you think.

Jenner's splash into the public eye — reaching 1 million Twitter followers in record time, becoming a pop culture icon, getting her own reality TV show — has caught the attention of the Grand Old Party.

During her interview with Diana Sawyer, Caitlyn (who at that time still identified as Bruce Jenner) declared she was a conservative Republican. Yes, the political party best known for opposing women's rights, same-sex marriage and a host of other LGBT issues. Jenner has even been hailed as a "solid Reagan Republican" by key GOP members.

Traditionally, most high-powered celebrities support the Democrats because of their stance on cultural and societal issues. So when a high-profile member of the Hollywood elite declares their conservatism, they get the royal treatment.

"Republicans are always looking for celebrities to promote their party. Famous people in the entertainment industry are generally liberal Democrats, so those who are not can win a special place in the GOP — Ronald Reagan being the most famous example," says Kyle Kondik, managing editor of Sabato's Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia's Center for Politics.

So it makes perfect sense that Jenner is being given the red carpet treatment by a lot of high-profile Republicans — like South Carolina presidential hopeful Lindsey Graham, who said recently on CNN's State of the Nation, "I haven't walked in [Jenner’s] shoes, I don't have all the answers to the mysteries of life. I can only imagine the torment that Bruce Jenner went through. I hope he — I hope she has found peace… If Caitlyn Jenner wants to be Republican, she is welcome in my party."

Another Republican presidental candiate, Rick Santorum, said, "My responsibility as a human being is to love and accept."

Do top Republicans really think that Jenner is the new face of their party? Well, none have come right out and said so, and Kondik points out a very good reason why. He said, "It's hard to imagine a party so reliant on conservative Christians would really embrace a transgender woman as a surrogate. Having Caitlyn Jenner speak, for instance, in a prime-time slot at the 2016 GOP Convention would certainly represent outreach to the LGBT community. It's just hard to image that happening, even if Jenner wanted to do something like that."

It seems whether she wants to or not, Jenner is going to be part of this presidential race as it seems inevitable that questions about her will arise.

One thing's for sure: The attention Jenner is getting is doing wonders for education about the transgender and LGBT community, especially for more conservative groups who might not otherwise hear or listen, traditionally.

If you use Facebook, you better open an account with your real name. Just ask Jemma Rogers who took drastic measures to keep her social media account. The Telegraph reports the 30-year-old went as far as changing her legal name in efforts to keep her account.

In 2008, Jemma opened an account under the pseudonym Jemmaroid Von Laalaa. She didn't want to receive friend requests from people she didn't know or past acquaintances. "So many people set up accounts in fake names so random people can't add them, or so they don't have to awkwardly decline requests from people they know, but don't want to be 'friends' with," said Rogers.

For years things appeared to be OK until recently, when the social media giant suspended her account — prompting Rogers to file a legal document that would change her name to her pseudonym. Ironically, her legal name change and new documents proving her identity weren't enough to re-open her account. So she's stuck with the name, but she can't access her account!

Facebook's rules on users changing their name have come under fire as some, like Rogers, feel it's unfair. Their policy states the following:

"Facebook is a community where people use their authentic identities. We require people to provide the name they use in real life; that way, you always know who you're connecting with. This helps keep our community safe."

This has prompted members of the LGBT community to gather at Facebook headquarters in hopes to change policies on using real names. Many believe their strict rules that prohibit the use of names other than legal ones pose a safety issue to those who feel certain anonymity is necessary. Unless users can provide proof of their identity, their accounts will be suspended or even deleted.

"I want to apologize to the affected community of drag queens, drag kings, transgender, and extensive community of our friends, neighbors and members of the LGBT community for the hardship that we've put you through in dealing with your Facebook accounts over the past few weeks," Chris Cox, Facebook chief product officer wrote in a statement last year. "The stories of mass impersonation, trolling, domestic abuse and higher rates of bullying and intolerance are oftentimes the result of people hiding behind fake names, and it's both terrifying and sad. Our ability to successfully protect against them with this policy has borne out the reality that this policy, on balance, and when applied carefully, is a very powerful force for good."

Changing your name for the sake of keeping a Facebook account active seems a bit much. Aside from safety issues or promoting a business, why go through so much effort — especially when it impacts the rest of your life? If you don't want people to find you, change your privacy settings. Then again, it does seem like a one-size-fits-all approach to name changes can hurt those in a particular community.

Should Facebook make amendments to their policy, or is having a social media account not worth the hassle?

13 Things to keep in your purse at all times

Thankfully, fighting back-to-school germs is really just a matter of practicing a few basic healthy habits. In case you need a refresher, here are the Center for Disease Control's (CDC) top pointers for parents and teachers to help control the spread of illness at school and home.

1. Start the year right

Get a jump on the school year by taking your child to the doctor for his or her annual physical. And while you're at it, request information about when you should return for an annual flu vaccine, since the CDC says that a flu shot is "the single best way to prevent the flu."

2. Hands off

Kids are always making interesting choices, like picking their noses or rubbing their eyes with grubby little hands. These habits are a huge no-no when it comes to disease prevention. Experts believe that disease is often spread by using dirty hands to rub or touch the eyes, nose and mouth. Teach your children to keep their hands away from their faces.

3. Wash hands frequently

Hands are basically as dirty as a toilet if they're not regularly washed. In fact, teaching your child to regularly wash his or her hands is one of the best ways to prevent her from getting sick. The CDC says that hand washing is only good if a person lathers soap for at least 20 seconds, so teach your kids to do the same when they're washing their hands at school.

4. Practice the basics

You can prevent the spread of germs by keeping immune function healthy. How, you ask? It's easy. Insist that your children sleep at least 8–10 hours per night, drink plenty of water and load up on fruits and veggies.

5. Disinfect germ hot spots

Even if you can't disinfect the hot spots at your child's school, you certainly have free reign over your home. Use an EPA-registered disinfecting product like Clorox Disinfecting Wipes or Clorox Regular-Bleach to disinfect nasty home surfaces like the remote control, doorknobs, light switches, faucets and plastic toys.

6. Keep the sickos home

If your kids get sick, we are genuinely sorry. But you can make another parent's life easier by keeping your sickos home to prevent the spread of illness through the school.

7. Coach the elbow cough

Yes, kids need to cover their coughs. But no, kids should not cover their coughs or sneezes with their hands (see tip No. 3). Teach your children to always cover their coughs to prevent the spread of droplet or airborne illness, but to do so with the crook of their elbow rather than their bare hand.

8. Know when sharing is a bad idea

Sharing is a great value to teach. Sharing food, however, is generally a bad idea in the school cafeteria. The potentially dirty hands of your child's peers can deposit germs on food, even if your kid's hands are clean. Moreover, a sandwich contaminated with a food-borne illness could give an entire table of children a bad case of diarrhea. Sharing, it turns out, is not always caring.

More: Breastfeeding mom shamed, writes perfect response

Originally shared on the Facebook page of Breastfeeding Mama Talk, a site for moms to talk lactation and more, the three-point plan for Target employees is pretty simple: If mama wants to nurse, let her nurse!

The post had already garnered nearly half a million likes within 24 hours of being shared and for good reason. Nursing in public is protected by law in 49 states plus the District of Columbia and the Virgin Islands. And yet many businesses find themselves in the middle of a public relations nightmare because they don't educate their employes — as Target has — on what to do when a mom is feeding her baby. All of a sudden their Yelp page is being bombarded with angry moms (and dads) or moms are staging a nurse in on their doorsteps. Worse, many a mom finds herself being discriminated against because those employees are clueless.

Is it any wonder nearly half of U.S. moms confess to being uncomfortable breastfeeding in public (to put that in context: Just 11 percent of moms in Turkey say the same)?

More: Mom says dental staff removed her nursing baby from her arms

That's why policies like these are important but also why it's good for every woman to know that the law is on a mom's side. If you've got a little one who you plan to feed somewhere outside the home, brush up before you grab your diaper bag and head out. Not only do you have the right to nurse in public, but some states also provide moms with recourse if they're harassed for doing it. So if an employee isn't as well-prepped as the khaki and red polo-shirted crews seem to be, you can tell them exactly what's in store for them!

Dutch "fashiontech" designer Anouk Wipprecht understands the innate power of spider legs. In a recent collaboration with tech company Intel Edison, Wipprecht designed a piece of smart wearable technology called the Spider Dress. Made entirely with a 3-D printer, the dress uses "wireless biometric signals" to detect the wearer's breath pattern, and from there infers the wearer's emotional state. Intel IQ's managing editor, Ken Kaplan, explains that the dress' system can "differentiate between 12 states of behavior" thanks to the microsensors.

In other words, if the person's breath quickens, the legs react as if the person is afraid, and lash out instantly. The legs are also programmed to do this if someone approaches the wearer too quickly. Wipprecht describes this use of technology to Intel IQ's managing editor, Ken Kaplan, as such: "Spider Dress acts as the interface between the body and the external world. It uses technology and the garment as a medium of interaction."

As much as this dress captivates me, even seduces me, the fact that our society might need such a contraption is devastating. We live in a world where our words are often never enough; we have to prove that these are our feelings and desires. If a woman does not want sexual attention, she can't just say "no;" she has to verify her conviction until there is absolutely no doubt that she might mean otherwise. The problem is, with the prevalence of rape culture, our society puts more faith in that doubt than a woman's word.

Wipprecht knew what she was doing when she designed this dress. She uses the terrifying elegance of the design to mesmerize us, and then she uses the strength of her work to call attention to the words that we so easily dismiss. Anouk explains: "Fashion and tech are merging at the moment, beyond blinking dresses or cute skirts. I'm showing how fashion can be thought provoking, something that pushes people to think and share their feelings."

The true power of the Spider Dress, however, is not what it pushes the wearer to do, but what it pushes us as a society to reflect upon. If we respect robotic arms more than a woman's words, then we have some serious problems.

An initial recall was issued on July 2, affecting approximately 50,000 pounds of product produced on January 29, 2015, February 20, 2015 and April 23, 2015, after reports of illness in Minnesota and Wisconsin were received, but has been expanded today to include products produced between February 17, 2015 and May 20, 2015. The products were sold in stores nationwide and in Canada.

Products being recalled include the following raw stuffed chicken breasts: cordon bleu, chicken kiev, broccoli and cheese, asparagus and cheese and ham and cheese. Check the FSIS site for a full list of products and product labels.

According to the USDA, "FSIS and the company are concerned that some products may be in consumers' freezers. Although the products subject to recall may appear to be cooked, these products are in fact uncooked (raw) and should be handled carefully to avoid cross-contamination in the kitchen. Particular attention needs to be paid to safely prepare and cook these raw poultry products to a temperature of 165 degrees F checking at the center, the thickest part and the surface of the product."

In a recent study conducted by Miner & Co. Studio, 800 parents whose kids watch video content on devices other than televisions were asked about their family's screen time. The results weren't particularly surprising — in these households where a tablet was present, a majority of kids preferred those over traditional television. But at least one stat stood out that was a little unexpected.

Nearly one out of every two parents reported that if their child needs discipline, they take the tablets away — but let them watch TV instead. Watching TV is considered a punishment in these families.

The other data isn't quite as shocking, though it does tell the tale of modern parenting. In 58 percent of these families, kids had their own tablet. Fifty-six percent of these parents report that it's not unusual for kids to be watching content on more than one device at the same time. And 41 percent of these parents say their kids would choose their tablet over dessert.

Yes, I'm sure watching TV is less fun for a kid who has a tablet at his disposal. Playing games and being able to watch favorite shows over and over on a handheld device is pretty amazing, especially when you consider that even when my 12-year-old was a young child, it would have sounded pretty science fiction-y. It's definitely better than watching regular TV programming, especially since kids can often easily operate the tablets themselves.

But is replacing one screen for another really adequate discipline for a child? Eh, probably not. Making a kid switch from one media to another isn't really all that annoying for the kid, and really, it's a pretty lazy way to dole out discipline. It's as if you are really saying, "No, you can't play with your tablet, so plunk yourself down and watch this TV instead." And your kids know that if they misbehave, they'll still get to zone out in front of a screen.

I've been parenting for a long time (my eldest will be 20 this November, and my fourth child is getting ready to enter kindergarten), and I'm not a young mom by any means, but I still find it hard to believe that people really let their kids get away with watching TV when they're supposedly being disciplined for something.

Kids will probably always prefer mobile screens — the study shares that kids like them because they can take them anywhere and it gives them a sense of independence — but letting a kid veg out in front of a TV instead of poking a tablet screen should not be considered a form of actual discipline.

According to a new study in the Journal of Sex Research, having a lot of casual sex may mean you also suffer from anxiety and depression. While the scientists still aren't sure which came first — the depression or the sex — there is a definite link between them.

This came as a bit of a surprise to me, because there have also been several studies claiming more sex equals more happiness. There's even one Scandinavian study that claimed upping your sex frequency from once a month to once a week was the happiness equivalent to getting an extra $50,000. So how could it cause or be related to the opposite effect?

More: Fact or fiction? Casual sex is good for your well-being

The study came to the conclusion by surveying 3,907 heterosexual students between the ages of 18 and 25 from over 30 schools in the United States. This was the largest sample of participants ever collected for a singular study in this field. The survey went right to the point — it asked students if they had engaged in sex with someone they'd known less than a week recently. Of the surveyed group, 11 percent said they had done so in the last month, and the majority of that percentage was male. The study also inquired into the students' well-being and levels of stress.

Leader of the study, Dr. Melina M. Bersamin of California State University, Sacramento, had this to say on their results. "[The results] suggest that among heterosexual college students, casual sex was negatively associated with well-being and positively associated with psychological distress." While I'm not sure this would've been the case if they had surveyed a more varied group (aka, not all college students), it certainly sheds some light on how young adults of that age react to such a pressurized environment, and I'm not talking academically speaking.

College kids are pushed together in so many social situations throughout the college experience, it's no wonder they feel more inclined to have casual sex, especially if all their peers are engaging in it. When I was at college, so much of daily life was about fitting in — sometimes that meant joining a sorority, and sometimes it meant hooking up with that guy at a party because your friends were pushing you to do it.

The study also looked at the role gender plays on the link between mental health and casual sex. While several previous studies found more of a correlation between depression and casual sex in women than in men, this one found no difference between the sexes in their data. This makes perfect sense, because the gender playing fields have leveled off significantly in recent years.

While the study was inconclusive about whether the casual sex was causing the depression and anxiety or vice versa, my money's on the sex being a symptom of a deeper social disorder. There is so much pressure on so many different levels at that age, it's not surprising that millennials are turning up the sex to deal with it or feel obligated to do so, because that's what the world around them expects.

From other cast members walking off because of her to her constant Twitter rants lashing out against the other cast members, she seems to always have a need to be in the spotlight. Or so fans and critics seem to think.

We know that she is a big fan of plastic surgery. So much so that she wants to pursue a career in the field, but when she appeared on E!’s Botched for the problems she had with a recent lip injection, fans started throwing up red flags.

More: Farrah Abraham's daughter knows too much about her mom's sex life (VIDEO)

Regarding going to see the Botched doctors about the complications, Abraham said, "I was embarrassed to go in there. Admitting that I messed up on something that I love to do was a little harsh for me to confront at first, but I think it was good to share my story because it was on national headlines and news, so I wanted to show others so they don't have the same complications."

Abraham made her Botched appearance on Sunday night and now fans are claiming she may have done all of it as a publicity stunt to get more attention and appear on another reality TV show. One commenter said, "Yeah right! She got that ridiculous plastic surgery on her lips to have an excuse to be on 'botched (sic).' She, like many reality stars, is addicted to being on shows. They do ANYTHING for attention.” 

While that commenter thinks she did this for attention, others are quick to point out the fatal flaw in Abraham’s latest career plan. On the show she said, "I am starting licensing around January and then want to work up through cosmetics, aesthetics, everything up to plastic surgery and my Ph.D."

Fans would like her to know... that's the wrong kind of doctor.

One commenter said, "Dont worry. She doesn't know that you don't get a PhD to do plastic surgery. We are safe (sic)." Another said, "Last I checked you need an MD to be a plastic surgeon. Shows how little she knows."

While Abraham doesn't give the explicit impression she did this "on purpose" just to extend her 15 minutes of fame, fans of the show and critics sure aren't buying that she didn't.
