Advice On How To Raise Genius Kids Posted: 04 Sep 2020 10:19 PM PDT It's already difficult enough to raise a child. But there is something even more difficult than raising a child, and that is raising a genius one. They stand out from everybody else, as they are just more advanced than other kids. The education system also doesn't help them much, because the system is catered towards average kids. This article from Big Think gives us some advice on how to raise genius kids. But these tips are not only applicable to raising genius children, but also to children in general. Here are some few tips. Expose children to diverse experiences. When a child exhibits strong interests or talents, provide opportunities to develop them. Support both intellectual and emotional needs. Help children to develop a 'growth mindset' by praising effort, not ability. See the others over at the site. What are your thoughts about this one? (Image Credit: FelixMittermeier/ Pixabay)

Kudos to Kuno Posted: 04 Sep 2020 07:14 PM PDT Kuno is a Belgian Malinois who served in the British army. Last year, Kuno accompanied special forces on a night raid targeting al-Qaeda extremists in Afghanistan. Kuno saved the lives of his unit, but he was shot in both his back legs, leaving him severely injured. Vets had to amputate part of one of his rear paws to prevent a life-threatening infection taking hold. After returning to the UK on an RAF plane, he underwent extensive reconstructive surgery. Just like injured soldiers, Kuno began a lengthy rehabilitation programme to restore function to his nerves and muscles, and is said to have particularly enjoyed his sessions on the hydrotherapy treadmill. Within months, he was fitted with a custom-made prosthesis to replace his missing paw and an orthotic brace to help his injured limb. Kuno, who was on his second deployment when he was injured, is the first UK military dog to be fitted with such devices, which allow him to run and jump unencumbered - giving him many more happy years in retirement. The four-year-old dog will receive the Dickin Medal, the highest honor a military animal can receive, in a virtual ceremony in November. That's a good dog. Read how Kuno put his life on the line against al-Qaeda at BBC News.  -via Strange Company

Relatable Comics About Dogs and Humans Posted: 04 Sep 2020 07:14 PM PDT Dogs just might be the most wonderful creatures that have existed on our planet. They shower us with a lot of love and affection, and just through their presence they give us comfort and joy. Aside from that, they make us wonder about them. "What do they talk about with other dogs?" "How do they see us humans?" "What do they think about?" These are some questions that might be going inside our minds. In these comic strips, Denise Natali-Paine gives us what she thinks goes on the minds of dogs. If you have a dog, then you might be able to relate to these strips. See them at Bored Panda.

Check Out These Cute Candies Made By A Sweets Chef Posted: 04 Sep 2020 07:12 PM PDT Candy-making is already art in itself.

These candies are made by Kurokazu, a wagashi (traditional Japanese sweets) chef. See more of his creations over at his Instagram and Twitter accounts. Via 9GAG (Image Credit: kurokazu_45/ Twitter)

Flamingos Feeding Posted: 04 Sep 2020 11:02 AM PDT We know flamingos have upside-down beaks because they feed upside-down, but have you ever seen them do it? This underwater footage captures them in the act at the San Diego Zoo. These pretty in pink birds feed by sucking in water and mud at the front of their bills, then pumping it out at the sides. Briny plates called lamellae act like tiny filters, trapping shrimp and other small water creatures for the flamingos to eat. Everybirdy loves seafood! Read more about the flamingos at the zoo's website. -via Everlasting Blort

A Planet That Revolves Around Three Stars Posted: 04 Sep 2020 11:02 AM PDT When we first saw the binary stars of Tatooine, it was hard to wrap our heads around how that worked. Since then, astronomers have found plenty of binary star systems, in which two stars revolve around a common center of gravity. The system called GW Orionis (in the Orion constellation) is a young system with three stars, two that form the normal binary and another revolving around the two a few hundred million miles away. There are three rings of dust surrounding GW Orionis, one with an unusual tilt. Now, a closer analysis reveals that the rings may hold more than just dust; according to two recent studies, published today (Sept. 3) in the journal Science and May 21 in The Astrophysical Journal Letters, there could be a young planet, or the makings of one, bulging up inside the rings and throwing off the whole system's gravitational balance. The presence of such a planet would not only help explain why the system's inner ring appears to be wobbling around wildly like a broken gyroscope — but, if confirmed, the distant world would also become the first known example of a single planet orbiting three suns at once, the researchers said. "Our simulations show that the gravitational pull from the triple stars alone cannot explain the observed large misalignment [in the rings]," Nienke van der Marel, an astrophysicist at the University of Victoria in Canada and co-author of the May 21 study, said in a statement. "We think that the presence of a planet … has likely carved a dust gap and broken the disk [where the inner and outer rings meet]."

How the Phillips Screwdriver Took Over America Posted: 04 Sep 2020 08:44 AM PDT Pictured above is a Robertson screw, invented by the Canadian Peter Lymburner Robertson and patented in 1907. It was brilliantly designed to avoid cam out and was far superior to other screws available at the time. We Americans might still be using them widely if Robertson hadn't gotten into a dispute with Henry Ford. Road & Track magazine traces the history of the screw and the downfall of the Robertson: But unless you're Canadian, there's a good chance you've never heard of Robertson screws. That's because Henry Ford wanted to use Robertsons in all of his plants, and he wanted more control over how they were made. Robertson, by most accounts a stubborn man, wouldn't agree. No deal was struck, and the Canadian lost an important part of his business. Meanwhile, other engineers worked on their own types of screw heads. The eventual replacement for the Robertson was the now-ubiquitous Phillips: A Phillips screw offers many of the benefits of a Robertson and can be driven by a traditional slotted screwdriver in a pinch. Phillips licensed his design to the giant American Screw Company, which got General Motors to use the screw in the 1936 Cadillac. Within the decade, almost all automakers were using Phillips screws. A Phillips is, arguably, not a better screw than a Robertson. Consumer Reports once wrote that "compared with slotted and Phillips-head screwdrivers, the Robertson worked faster, with less cam-out." However, cam-out was good for automakers increasingly relying on automation, as it meant screws wouldn't be overtightened. Today the Phillips is the standard, except in Canada, where the Robertson remains popular, and in Japan, which has its own cruciform screw, the Japanese Industrial Standard. Next time you strip out a Phillips, shake your fist at Henry Ford. -via Instapundit | Photo: Safforest

Man Carves Terminator Pipe for Schwarzenegger, Who Then Smokes with It Posted: 04 Sep 2020 08:44 AM PDT Arnold Schwarzenegger (champion bodybuilder, actor, businessman, and politician) recently turned 73. To celebrate the occasion, Redditor /u/Radonlab carved this magnificent pipe showing the Governor in his most famous acting role: the Terminator. Schwarzenegger is an active redditor known for his jovial interactions on that forum. He asked Radonlab to sell the pipe. Radonlab gave it to him, and Schwarzenegger responded with a photo of him using it! -via Born in Space
