It has been obvious for several years that the rules around transgender participation in sport were unfair to biological females and promised to create the kind of mess that we have seen in the Atlanta pool.

The 60-year-old author - born in St Petersburg to Russian parents and assigned mandatory military service assisting the KGB - has been forced to flee his home in Kyiv with his English wife, Elizabeth, and their three children.

Car seat companies are constantly innovating and finding new ways to add versatility to something as seemingly basic as a seat. Most infant car seats are made up of a base and the seat itself, which can detach easily for use as a carrier or click into a compatible stroller. But the Maxi-Cosi Coral XP one-ups the competition with the ability to separate a third way for an even lighter wearable carrier. 

That's not even factoring in the strangeness of pandemic teaching, from Zoom lessons to ever-shifting health guidelines, which has taken a toll. "I don't know how much longer we will have teachers who will put up with the pressures coming from all different angles," a middle school teacher from Austin, Texas, told CNET's Antonio Ruiz-Camacho. In a feature story this week, Ruiz-Camacho digs into how the teaching profession can hold it together and maybe not get rocked by the Great Resignation that's swept through other fields.

Pseudoephedrine is a common decongestant, found in Mucinex products such as Mucinex D, that works by narrowing the blood vessels in the nasal passages. And it's also one ingredient the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecologists recommends against during the first trimester due to a small risk of birth defects in the abdominal wall.

Sadly, the IOC constantly shirk their responsibility to protect the integrity of sport, as they did with the 15-year-old Russian ice skater, Kamila Valieva, who failed a drug test at the Beijing Winter Games.

If you've ever considered taking medicine while pregnant -- or you've had the TV on long enough to hear the commercial line "tell your doctor if you're pregnant or breastfeeding" -- you'll know there's a giant disclaimer that comes with taking anything during pregnancy. Despite the big caveat and lack of medical research on pregnant people, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that nine in 10 women will take at least one medicine during pregnancy. 

The atmosphere when a trans swimmer controversially triumphed at the United States college championships last week was uncomfortable at best and I am amazed the sporting authorities did not act sooner to prevent it. 

They can be extremely abusive and have even threatened my children. Just as worrying is that this abuse is mostly coming from men, and is incredibly misogynistic. It's the worst I've ever known. Most hide behind social media.

What are the different types of car seats? There are four main categories of child car seats: infant, convertible, all-in-one and booster. An infant car seat is rear-facing only and is suitable for your baby until they reach the height or weight limit of the seat. Infant car seats have the advantage of being able to be removed from their base and transferred to a stroller. They offer more versatility than a typical convertible car seat and also tend to fit smaller babies better.

Fun fact: Safety 1st invented the "Baby On Board" sign in 1984. Since then, the brand has introduced a wide range of competitively priced baby products. One of those products is the Grow and Go All-in-One car seat.

Some cultural bodies have prompted accusations of McCarthyism - the anti-Russian hysteria whipped up during the 1950s - for rushing to cancel Russian culture in response to Vladimir Putin's (above) invasion order

A women's group last week filed a civil complaint against the University of Pennsylvania for allowing Thomas to compete on its team for breaking Title 9, which was introduced to stop sexual discrimination in sport.

For Dr. Gloria Bachmann, an OB-GYN and the director of the Women's Health Institute at Rutgers University, the rule to follow is the same one she advises all pregnant people stick to, no matter the health concern or question: check with your doctor (or midwife, practitioner or other care provider). This is important not only before you consume a new medication, according to Bachmann, but also to make sure you don't write off a more serious illness as a common cold, allergies or even a mild case of COVID-19. 

The Graco 4Ever DLX Four-in-One is an all-in-one convertible car seat that has four different use modes. Naturally, you have front- and rear-facing configurations. Then you have a high-back booster and backless booster for later in your kids' life. The DLX part of the name means this seat comes with more safety features over the regular 4Ever model. The 4Ever is designed to last up to 10 years, covering you from the day you bring them home from the hospital to the last day they ever ride in a booster seat (I'm not crying, you're crying!).
