Mother's Day came first, and actually inspired Father's Day. According to History.com, the commercialized Mother's Day we know and celebrate in the U.S. today began in 1908, but its origins can be traced all the way back to the mid-1800s.
'The 'Mother's Day' we celebrate today has its origins in the peace-and-reconciliation campaigns of the post-Civil War era. During the 1860s, at the urging of activist Ann Reeves Jarvis, one divided West Virginia town celebrated 'Mother's Work Days' that brought together the mothers of Confederate and Union soldiers …' History.com says.
'In 1909, 45 states observed the day, and in 1914, President Woodrow Wilson approved a resolution that made the second Sunday in May a holiday in honor of 'that tender, gentle army, the mothers of America.''
But Father's Day took a little while longer to get off the ground, due to gender norms of the time. According to the Old Farmer's Almanac and Lawrence R. Samuel, author of 'American Fatherhood: A Cultural History," 'Men had a different role in the family during the first half of that century. It was patriarchal, so they felt that a special day to exalt fatherhood was a rather silly idea, when it was mothers who were underappreciated.'
It wasn't until 1972, under President Richard Nixon, that Congress passed an act officially making Father's Day a national holiday. But the first Father's Day celebration can be traced all the way back to 1908, around the same time Mother's Day kicked off in the U.S.
'The first known Father's Day service occurred in Fairmont, West Virginia, on July 5, 1908, after hundreds of men died in the worst mining accident in U.S. history,' the Old Farmer's Almanac says. But the observance didn't become an annual or nationally observed event.
A year later, Sonora Smart Dodd, a 27-year-old in Spokane, Washington, was inspired by Mother's Day and came up with the idea to set aside a day in June to celebrate dads.
'She proposed June 5, her father's birthday, but the ministers chose the third Sunday in June so that they would have more time after Mother's Day (the second Sunday in May) to prepare their sermons,' the almanac says.
'On June 19, 1910, the first Father's Day events commenced: Sonora delivered presents to handicapped fathers, boys from the YMCA decorated their lapels with fresh-cut roses (red for living fathers, white for the deceased), and the city's ministers devoted their homilies to fatherhood.'
The first bill to make Father's Day a holiday was presented to Congress just a few years later in 1913, but didn't pass.
Eight years later, President Calvin Coolidge signed a resolution in favor of establishing a Father's Day and in 1966, President Lyndon Johnson signed an executive order dictating that the holiday would be celebrated on the third Sunday of June. In 1972, Congress approved an act to make it a national holiday, under Nixon.

Want to beat the next big Coinbase listing? Here's how savvy traders do it
The New York Post may receive revenue from affiliate/advertising partnerships for sharing this content and/or if you click or make a purchase. Every time Coinbase adds a new coin to its platform, the crypto world pays attention — and so do the markets. For investors trying to identify the next breakout asset, a Coinbase listing can serve as both a credibility stamp and a catalyst for price movement. But if you're only watching the official announcement pages, you're probably already too late. That's where tools like Best Wallet come in. The non-custodial app has become a go-to for crypto users looking to track potential listings, monitor token momentum, and stay ahead of the news cycle. With features like real-time price alerts, scam filters, and an integrated token scanner, Best Wallet doesn't just react to trends — it helps you see them forming. Advertisement Coinbase is the largest U.S. crypto exchange and among the most widely used worldwide. REUTERS So how does Coinbase decide what to list, and how can everyday investors get ahead of the curve? Download Best Wallet from App Store or Google Play (no KYC needed). Open the Trending Tokens or Launchpad section to see coins gaining exchange momentum. Tap any token for in-depth research: whitepaper, team, tokenomics, hype metrics, recent exchange listings, and smart contract security. Set up custom notifications for listing announcements or sudden volume surges. Store and track the new coin in your secure, private portfolio. Advertisement Coinbase is the largest U.S.-based crypto exchange and one of the most widely used platforms globally. For many investors, it serves as a 'safe zone' — a vetted space in a market still largely unregulated. That kind of gatekeeping power has spawned what many call the 'Coinbase Effect.' Assets that land on the platform often see immediate price action. A 2021 report by crypto research firm Messari found that coins listed on Coinbase gained an average of 91% over the five days after announcement — although that number drops to 29% when you remove extreme outliers. Still, that kind of volatility cuts both ways. While some coins skyrocket, others drop. Best Wallet helps users navigate this by providing curated insights and customizable watchlists so you're not just blindly buying into the hype. Coinbase doesn't release long lists of upcoming listings — and for good reason. Most additions are kept under wraps until the company is ready to make them public. That said, there are breadcrumbs worth following. Advertisement Trading volume, trends, community demand and presale momentum can help determine contenders for upcoming listings. Zinsmute – 'The short answer is no. You can certainly base some clues in partnerships being pursued or marketing activity associated with certain tokens,' said Alex Beene, a financial literacy instructor at the University of Tennessee at Martin. 'For the most part, listings are kept confidential.' Julia Cartwright, senior fellow at the American Institute for Economic Research, echoed that warning. 'The official channels are the most accurate. Of course there is a lot of online speculation but that is not reliable.' Advertisement Coinbase advises investors to monitor its X accounts — @Coinbase and @CoinbaseAssets — along with its blog and Exchange Status page. But for those who don't want to bounce between browser tabs and Twitter threads, Best Wallet streamlines that process. The app's token discovery dashboard aggregates these signals — and more — into one place. Sites like Coinspeaker and 99Bitcoins have published lists of tokens they believe could be next in line for Coinbase. Some of the recent names include: Best Wallet Token Bitcoin Hyper TOKEN6900 Snorter Bot Kaspa Toncoin Bittensor Jupiter Exchange World Liberty Financial But again, headlines move fast. Best Wallet lets users add these tokens to custom watchlists and enables smart alerts for price movements, wallet-holder surges, and sentiment shifts — all in real time. Coinbase posts about new listings on its social media accounts. REUTERS Coinbase says it 'adheres to thorough processes and standards for all asset listings.' This includes evaluation by the Digital Asset Support Group (DASG), also known as the Digital Asset Listing Group, which reviews legal, compliance, and security metrics before approving a token. 'Exchanges generally are not in the business of deciding whether an investment is good or not…there needs to be some standards that it's not an outright fraud,' said Dave Weisberger, co-founder of CoinRoutes. Advertisement 'The reason they [Coinbase] seem more authoritative is because their chief legal officer…has always insisted that it be a defendable process and I think they've done a pretty good job with it.' 'Look at the whitepaper, the team involved, its use case, and its economics,' Cartwright said. 'The crypto market can be highly emotional, with prices swinging wildly. It's easy to get caught up in the hype, but making decisions based on fear or FOMO often leads to poor outcomes.' Best Wallet makes this easier by flagging potential scams, analyzing token metrics, and allowing users to scan for early wallet-holder growth — a metric often associated with momentum ahead of a listing. Coinbase said it 'adheres to thorough processes and standards for all asset listings.' Galeno – Advertisement Here's a surprise: It doesn't. Coinbase says it does not charge listing, application, or prerequisite marketing fees. The platform emphasizes a level playing field and prioritizes compliance over commercial advantage. For crypto teams looking to be considered, Coinbase offers a submission portal called Asset Hub. If an asset passes an initial screening, the DASG might request further due diligence. A Coinbase listing can boost a token's visibility and value — but by the time most people see the news, it's already old. Advertisement Best Wallet users aren't waiting around. They're tracking pre-listing chatter, monitoring whale wallets, and flagging sudden volume spikes — all within a single app. In a market where minutes matter, Best Wallet offers something no X thread or press release can: a head start.

Manufacturers turn to AI to weather tariff storm
Manufacturers like US lawnmower maker The Toro Company are not panicking at the prospect of US President Donald Trump's global trade tariffs. Despite five years of dramatic supply disruptions, from the COVID pandemic to today's trade wars, Toro is resisting any temptation to stack its warehouses to the rafters. "We are at probably pre-pandemic inventory levels," says its chief supply-chain manager, Kevin Carpenter, looking relaxed in front of a whiteboard at his office in Minneapolis. "I mean 2019. I think everybody will be at a 2019 level." Among US manufacturers, inventories have roller-coasted this year as they rushed to beat Trump's deadlines for tariff hikes, only to see them repeatedly delayed. But since their post-pandemic expansion, inventories have mostly contracted, according to US Institute for Supply Management data. Instead, "just in time" inventory management - which aims to increase efficiency and reduce waste by ordering goods only as they are needed - is back. But how can firms run lean inventories even as tariffs fluctuate, export bans come out of the blue, and conflict rages? One of the answers, they say, is artificial intelligence. Carpenter says he uses AI to digest the daily stream of news that could impact Toro's business, from Trump's latest social media posts to steel prices, into a custom-made podcast that he listens to each morning. His team also uses generative AI to sieve an ocean of data and to suggest when and how many components to buy from whom. It is a boom industry. Spending on software that includes generative AI for supply chains, capable of learning and even performing tasks on its own, could hit $55 billion (R965 billion) by 2029, up from $2.7 billion now, according to US research firm Gartner, driven in part by global uncertainties. Hype "The tool just puts up in front of you: 'I think you can take 100 tonnes of this product from this plant to transfer it to that plant. And you just hit accept if that makes sense (to you)," McKinsey supply chain consultant Matt Jochim said. The biggest providers of overall supply chain software by revenue are Germany's SAP, US firms Oracle, Coupa and Microsoft and Blue Yonder, a unit of Panasonic, according to Gartner. Generative AI is in its infancy, with most firms still piloting it spending modest amounts, industry experts say. Those investments can climb to tens of millions of dollars when deployed at scale, including the use of tools known as AI agents, which make their own decisions and often need costly upgrades to data management and other IT systems, they said. In commenting for this article, SAP, Oracle, Coupa, Microsoft and Blue Yonder described strong growth for generative AI solutions for supply chains without giving numbers. At US supply chain consultancy GEP, which sells AI tools like this, Trump's tariffs are helping to drive demand. "The tariff volatility has been big," says GEP consultant Mukund Acharya, an expert in retail industry supply chains. SAP said the uncertainty was driving technology take-up. "That's how it was during the financial crisis, Brexit and COVID. And it's what we're seeing now," Richard Howells, SAP vice president and supply chain specialist, said in a statement. An AI agent can sift real-time news feeds on changing tariff scenarios, assess contract renewal dates and a myriad of other data points and come up with a suggested plan of action. But supply chain experts warn of AI hype, saying a lot of money will be wasted on a vain hope that AI can work miracles. "AI is really a powerful enabler for supply chain resilience, but it's not a silver bullet," says Minna Aila, communications chief at Finnish crane-maker Konecranes and member of a business board that advises the OECD on issues including supply chain resilience. "I'm still looking forward to the day when AI can predict terrorist attacks that are at sea, for instance." Konecranes' logistics partners are deploying AI on more mundane data, like weather forecasts. The company makes port cranes that are up to 106 metres (348 ft) high when assembled. When shipping them, AI marries weather forecasts with data like bridge heights to optimise the route. "To ship those across oceans, you do have to take into consideration weather," Aila says. Rising costs By keeping inventories low, firms can bolster profit margins that are under pressure from rising costs. Every component or finished product sitting on a shelf is capital tied up, incurring finance and storage costs and at risk of obsolescence. McKinsey has been surveying supply-chain executives since the pandemic. Its most recent survey showed that respondents relying on bigger inventory to cushion disruptions fell to 34% last year from 60% in 2022. Early responses from its upcoming 2025 survey suggest a similar picture, Jochim said. Gartner supply chain analyst Noha Tohamy says that without AI, companies would be slower to react and be more likely to be drawn into building up inventories. "When supply chain organisations don't have that visibility and don't really understand the uncertainty, we go for inventory buffering," Tohamy says. But AI agents won't put supply chain managers out of work, not yet, consultants say. Humans still need to make strategic and big tactical decisions, leaving AI agents to do more routine tasks like ordering and scheduling production maintenance. Toro supply chain chief Carpenter says that without AI, supply chain managers might need to run bigger teams as well. Is he worried that AI is coming for his job one day? "I hope it doesn't take it until my kids get through college!"

Bride wants to refuse $100,000 wedding gift because it comes with strings attached. Ramsey show gives advice
A newly-married woman from San Francisco called The Ramsey Show with a dilemma that pits her and her new husband against the cultural expectations of her extended family. Don't miss Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says this 7-step plan 'works every single time' to kill debt, get rich in America — and that 'anyone' can do it The caller states that she and her husband were recently married and although some of her extended family couldn't attend the ceremony, her grandmother and aunt wanted to send a generous monetary gift of around $100,000. But instead of being thrilled, the caller was conflicted. Why? Because in her experience, money from family (and especially her opinionated grandmother), tends to come with strings attached. She worried that accepting the funds would invite unwanted advice and interference in her new marriage. To further complicate matters, her mother disagreed with the couple's decision to decline the gift, calling it "disrespectful." She then offered to accept the money on the newlyweds' behalf and 'pass it along,' adding another layer of pressure. What advice did Ramsey and Kamel give the caller? Dave Ramsey and co-host George Kamel were quick to pick up on the real issue — this isn't about a generous gift; it's about control. Ramsey pointed out that while the gift might not come with explicit conditions, the callers' worry of future meddling was valid. "You understand, though, that when you say 'no thank you,'' there is no pleasant enough way to say that to people who think they have the right to walk into your life and tell you what to do … they're still not going to accept that," he said. Read more: Nervous about the stock market? Gain potential quarterly income through this $1B private real estate fund — even if you're not a millionaire. Their advice was firm: Do not accept the money if it compromises your independence or causes stress in your marriage. 'At the time [you] took that vow of 'for richer or poorer, in sickness and health,' that means the rest of you don't get a vote anymore,' Ramsey explained. "[The] ballot box is closed." The hosts emphasized that setting these boundaries is difficult, especially in families where guilt and manipulation are common. Ramsey recommended a book that would help the caller learn to set and keep boundaries. "Get Dr. Henry Cloud's book 'Boundaries,' because when you read it, one of the first chapters is going to tell you you're not crazy. You're not. And that's good. And that this is wrong. And it's not a cultural thing — it's an interference thing." Despite the challenges, Ramsey and Kamel say the discomfort in setting those boundaries will be worth the peace of mind. How to set financial boundaries with family Setting boundaries about money — especially with family — can be emotionally difficult. But it's crucial for maintaining a healthy marriage and protecting your financial well-being. In this situation, the caller is being given money, but in some families, it's about knowing when and how to say no to money requests, rather than offers. So, how do you do it? According to Headspace, the first step is identifying what you're comfortable with. In the caller's case, it meant declining a well-meaning but complicated gift. It's okay to say, 'Thank you, but we've decided not to accept monetary gifts right now.' For you, it might mean saying, "No, I cannot loan/give you money." When it comes to giving money, don't lend more than you're willing or able to part with comfortably. And be clear about expectations. Here are a few tips for drawing clear lines: Be direct but kind: A firm 'no thank you' can be more respectful than a reluctant 'yes.' Don't overly explain your reasoning: This can give family the idea that if they can overcome those reasons, you'll change your mind. 'No' is a complete sentence. Use 'we' language: If you're in a partnership, presenting a united front helps reduce outside influence. Acknowledge good intentions: Let family know you appreciate their generosity and/or trust in the offer or ask, even if you ultimately decline it. Set and repeat boundaries as needed: One conversation might not be enough, especially if your family is used to being involved in your decisions. Remember you're not responsible for others' feelings — or financial health: You can't control what other people do and you aren't responsible for how they feel. Setting boundaries isn't about being cold or ungrateful; it's about clearly defining what you will and won't accept in your life. When it comes to money and family, those lines can easily get blurred. However, by establishing firm, respectful limits, you can protect your peace, values and relationships.
