We know Earth’s exact spot in the universe thanks to a mix of astronomy and technology. First, we figured out we’re the third planet orbiting the Sun, which is part of the Milky Way galaxy—a giant spiral of stars. Then, astronomers mapped out the Milky Way itself, realizing it’s in a smaller arm of the galaxy called the Orion Arm. Beyond that, we know the Milky Way is part of a group of galaxies called the Local Group, which is in an even bigger structure called the Virgo Supercluster. Using telescopes and satellites, scientists also track Earth’s position relative to other stars, galaxies, and cosmic landmarks like quasars. But can we be sure we're right about the position of our Earth? #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Listen to Bright Side on: Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD...

Building a bridge between Europe and Africa sounds amazing, but it’s way trickier than it seems. The Strait of Gibraltar, where the two continents are closest, is about 8 miles wide, but the water there is super deep—up to 3,000 feet in some places! On top of that, the area is really windy and has strong currents, which makes construction extra challenging. Engineers have proposed ideas, like floating tunnels or super-long suspension bridges, but they’d cost a fortune and would still face massive technical hurdles. Political and economic challenges also come into play, as such a bridge would require cooperation between multiple countries. For now, ferries do the job, and most people find them convenient enough.

If you ever find yourself face-to-face with an alligator, there’s a surprising two-finger trick that could save your life. Alligators have super strong jaws for biting down, but the muscles to open their mouths are much weaker. If an alligator grabs you, try to stay calm (as hard as that sounds!) and aim for their eyes or the sensitive tip of their snout. Using two fingers, poke their eyes as hard as you can—this often makes them let go and retreat. Another option is to jab your fingers into their nostrils or ears; these spots are super sensitive and can make them release you. Remember, though, the best strategy is to avoid alligators in the first place by staying far from their habitats!

A trip to Jupiter isn’t your average road trip—it’s a journey across millions of miles of space! If you hopped on a spacecraft like NASA’s Juno, which launched in 2011, it would take about 5 years to reach the gas giant. But the timing depends on the spacecraft's speed and the route it takes, often using slingshots around other planets to save fuel. Jupiter is about 365 million miles away from Earth at its closest, but distances change because both planets are always moving. While we can’t visit Jupiter’s surface (it doesn’t have one—it’s mostly gas!), exploring its moons and atmosphere is still super exciting. So, pack your patience, because getting to Jupiter is a marathon, not a sprint!

There will always be things in this world that you never imagined even existed. That’s why we at Bright Side would like to share the following curious and fascinating facts about seemingly ordinary things. What would happen if... Do you ever get lost in thought with “What if…” questions? “What if I change my job?” “What if I won the lottery?” But what if we start asking more global, perhaps less realistic, questions? What if the Earth was a cube? What if it was flat or two times bigger? Watch the answers to the most googled questions about our planet! What if you drilled a hole through the Earth? You would also really cut down your travel time. It would only take you 42 minutes to end up on the other side of the planet. But if you’re in the US, you better be careful and grab and inflatable raft before you jump through that Earth-piercing hole. In a little under half an hour, you’d wind up smack dab in the middle of the Indian Ocean! And if you happen to be hanging out in Chile when this bright idea comes to mind, hurray! You could be chowing down on some authentic Chinese cuisine for lunch. First off, depending on where you start drilling, expect anywhere from 20 to 40 miles of continental crust. After that, you’ll have to get through almost two miles of the solid rock of Earth’s mantle. Then, you’ll be seeing the outer core of liquid iron burning at around 10,000°F! FYI, that’s as hot as the surface of the sun! Not to mention this outer core is the size of Mars! Okay, so you’ve gotten through the outer core, now you’re looking at the solid Moon-sized inner core. TIMESTAMPS What if I drilled a hole through the Earth and jumped in? 0:21 What if the Earth wasn't tilted? 4:01 What if the Earth was flat? 5:47 What if the Earth started spinning faster? 6:51 What if the Earth was a cube? 9:31 What if the Earth had rings? 10:08 What if the Earth didn't have the Moon? 10:53 What if the Earth was two times bigger? 11:39 SUMMARY You might not know this or maybe you just forgot since it’s just been way too many years since your school days, but our Earth sits on its axis at a 23.5° angle. And it’s a good thing too; this is why we have all our seasons. Sorry to the Flat Earth Society, but your theory just doesn’t hold up! If this was the case, we would have some serious problems with gravity. It would work as it should, pulling straight down, but only in the center of the disk. If you were moving away from the center, it would begin to tug more horizontally, and this would be totally insane. Let's imagine that the Earth starts to rotate just 1 mile per hour faster. The sea level would rise by just a few inches around the equator because if the planet spins faster around its waistline, some water will migrate there from the poles. However, it would take you a couple of years to notice it. A cubic Earth would be a very different planet from the one we live on today. First off, at the center of each face, gravity would be at its strongest. That's where all water would collect. As for the edges of the planet, they would look like barren lifeless rocks. What if our planet had rings? Well, they would look different depending on where you were. These rings would most likely go parallel with the equator. So, near the equator, you'd see them as thin columns of light disappearing somewhere far in the sky. If there were no Moon, Earth's day would shorter. It would happen because, without the moon, our planet would spin faster. So, instead of complaining about never having enough time in the day, you’d be wishing to have at least 24 hours! If our planet was twice its current size, its gravitational force would be two times stronger. So, trees would be thick and tall, and plants stiff and tough. Animals would also be noticeably bigger, more massive, and with thick legs to support their increased weight due to the gravity. What other "what ifs" have you ever considered?

Find out how you can save yourself and protect your family in case of an earthquake. These survival hacks are important for all of us, even if you don't live in an area with a lot of seismic activity. No one is 100% safe from this disaster because you never know where you might be traveling or living in the future. So pay close attention to these safety recommendations that could save your life one day. Fortifying your house is a good place to start. Make sure you have enough supplies, including food, medications, fire extinguishers, batteries, and flashlights. Have an expert test your house’s foundation so it won’t slip during an earthquake. Depending on where the earthquake finds you, you should follow different survival rules. The most important thing in all cases is not to panic and to memorize the Drop, Cover, and Hold on technique. Drop right where you are onto your hands and knees. This is a safe position that allows you to slowly move towards shelter. Use one arm to cover your head and neck. A massive desk or table makes a good shelter. If there’s nothing in the room to hide under, at least stay away from the windows. Remain in this position and bend over as much as you can to protect your vital organs. Hold on like this until the shaking stops. If you were able to find some shelter, hold onto it using one hand and be prepared to move with it as it might shift. Music: Versace Beat https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... TIMESTAMPS Make your house your fortress 0:34 If you’re in a building 1:51 If you’re outside 2:58 If you’re in a car 3:24 If you’re on the beach or near the shore 3:50 If you’re in a wheelchair 4:10 If you’re in a stadium 5:00 If you’re in an elevator 5:25 If you’re in bed 5:59 If you’re trapped under rubble 6:25 Overall evacuation rules 7:15 SUMMARY -Be prepared for disaster: move all beds away from windows, strengthen shelves, cover all glass surfaces, keep extra fire extinguishers, batteries, flashlights, emergency food supplies and medications in your home. -Drop right where you are onto your hands and knees, use one arm to cover your head and neck. Hold on like this until the shaking stops. -Move away from power lines, tall buildings, and roads, try to find some shelter, drop, cover, and hold on. -Slow down and find a safe place to stop the car, stay in it until the earthquake stops. -Collect your things immediately and move to higher ground to avoid tsunami. -Lock your wheels, cover, and hold on. -Get on the floor in the space in front of your seat, bend over and cover your head and neck with your hands. Stay calm and reassure others. -Lie down on the floor, cover your head, wait until the elevator starts working again and get out of it ASAP. -Stay in bed, protect your head with a pillow and lie face down, move away from shelves. -Don’t move, cover your mouth with a cloth or piece of clothing. If you have a whistle, use it so that rescuers can find you. -Close all windows and shut off the gas, water, and electricity in your home. After leaving the building with only the most necessary things with you, find a safe place. Whatever happens, don’t panic.

Fastening your seatbelt while in a car is something you learn even without knowing the rest of the road traffic regulations. But have you ever wondered why buses don’t have seatbelts at all? It seems only natural that a vehicle that carries so much more people than a car should have seatbelts, but buses have none — not even school buses. And how can they be safer than cars then? Speaking about safety, have you ever thought why buses stop and open their doors at railroad tracks? It’s actually a must for any vehicle to stop at a designated point before railroad tracks and check if there’s a train coming. For a bus driver, it’s also important to open the doors. But why? Well, let’s find out the answers to these questions and more! Other videos you might like: Why Airplanes Are White • Why Airplanes Are White How to Choose a Safe Seat in 7 Types of Transport • How to Choose a Safe Seat in 7 Types ... Why Planes Don't Fly Over the Pacific Ocean • Why Planes Don't Fly Over the Pacific... TIMESTAMPS: Why don’t buses have seatbelts? 0:21 Why are there dedicated bus lanes? 1:08 Why won’t buses stop and open the doors when someone’s late? 1:45 Why is there a “do not speak to the driver” sign? 2:15 How do bus doors open and close when the driver isn’t inside? 2:54 Why are buses considered safer than cars? 3:31 Why do buses stop and open their doors at railroad tracks? 4:29 Why are bus depots often located in rough neighborhoods? 5:00 How do displays in buses know when to show the next stop? 5:40 How do you see through a bus window from inside when there’s an ad on the outside? 6:24 Why are bus steering wheels almost parallel to the ground? 7:26 Why don’t buses have a more aerodynamic shape? 8:11 #buses #safety #brightside SUMMARY: In case of emergency, passengers need to get off a bus as fast as possible. With seatbelts on, they’ll waste precious time on unbuckling them. Like any other public transport, buses have a schedule to meet, and in big cities, traffic jams aren’t rare. So to reduce delays caused by heavy traffic, dedicated bus lanes were introduced. When a bus has already closed its doors and moved a few feet away from the stop, halting it again creates difficulties for the rest of the vehicles on the road. There’s a mechanism that opens and closes the driver’s door from the outside. The button that activates it is usually hidden and located under the door. Buses are heavy, and it takes a really serious impact to stop them in their tracks. They’re also long, so even if a bus crashes into a brick wall, passengers will fall, but no one will probably get seriously hurt. Public transport depots need a lot of land, and land in big cities is costly. So when a transport company buys a turf to park its vehicles, it normally chooses a piece of land that’s relatively cheap. When a bus approaches its next stop, the GPS sends a signal to the display, and it changes the name of the stop. The steering wheel is connected directly to the wheels of the vehicle with a rod. In a car, the front wheels are further ahead of the driver, so the rod goes smoothly back and up to the steering wheel. Aerodynamics allows vehicles to move faster with less opposing force of the air. It’s fine with transport that’s made to be fast, but buses aren’t about speed; they’re more about safety.

There’s only one thing you need for flawless skin, outstanding memory, and no more stress. No, not sorcery, a pomegranate! A research team at the UK’s Queen Margaret University discovered that pomegranate juice works wonders for lowering the stress hormone cortisol. The research also proved that pomegranate has a great effect on heart health too since a lot of cardiovascular problems are connected to cortisol one way or another. This colorful fruit will totally transform your mind and body. TIMESTAMPS: You'll have no more joint pain 0:38 Your hair will grow faster 1:25 Your blood pressure will stabilize 2:14 Your stress levels will decrease 2:52 Your system will be protected from cancer 3:30 Your teeth will be healthier 4:15 Your exercise performance will be top-notch 4:54 Your skin’s condition will improve 5:39 You'll lose weight 6:53 Your memory will improve 7:28 How to pick your fruit 8:12 #pomegranatediet #loseweight #growtaller Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY: This fruit is a source of crucial antioxidants called flavonols that act as anti-inflammatory agents to reduce the swelling that causes joint pain in the first place. Pomegranates contain a very important element called punicic acid. The best of its effects is its ability to enhance circulation and, consequently, improve blood flow to the scalp. A daily intake of about 5 oz of pomegranate juice can reduce blood pressure levels in just 2 weeks! Pomegranate extract slows down the reproduction of prostate cancer cells. Pomegranate fruit has impressive anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties that can really benefit your teeth in the best way possible. If you go to the gym regularly, you know that good and stable exercise performance takes time, patience, and dedication. However, if you want to get to your desired result quicker, pomegranate can help you with that. By eating pomegranate every day, you’ll see fewer bumps and skin irritation. What’s great about this is that it works from both the inside and the outside. Among all the other things, pomegranates are also a great diet food that should be on your menu if you wanna lose a couple pounds.

Things happen, and sometime your favorite smartphone might find itself in water. What should you do if you dropped your phone in a sink, a bowl, or forgot to take it out of your pocket and jumped into water? Water is your phone’s worst enemy, capable of wiping out all your pictures and stored data. Fortunately, there are simple things and easy tips that’ll cost you no money you can do to try to save your phone. #phonewater #dropphone TIMESTAMPS Take it out of the liquid immediately. 0:48 Turn it off. 1:42 Remove the battery. 2:10 Remove the SIM card, memory card, and all peripherals. 3:01 Dry the phone with a cloth or microfiber towel. 4:02 Don’t use an oven, microwave, or hair dryer. 4:26 Gently shake your phone dry. 5:06 Put the phone in a vacuum bag. 5:32 Put it in a bowl of rice or another absorbent material. 5:59 Clean the phone with rubbing alcohol. 7:07 Store your phone in a safe, dry place. 7:48 Wait. 8:14 While you’re waiting, check your warranty. 9:00 Turn it on, and cross your fingers. 9:30 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY -The more exposure your phone has to the water, the more water will get inside the case and damage the internal components. -If the power stays on, the phone runs the risk of short-circuiting, which will cause more damage to the mechanisms inside. -If you can take the battery out, do it immediately. Removing the energy supply will help prevent the phone from being fried. -Remove all the covers and plugs that cover the charging port, headphone port, or any gap or slot in the phone. These can trap moisture inside the phone or be damaged themselves. -Avoid using paper as particles can come loose and clog up the ports of the phone. -The heat produced by a hair dryer can cause significant damage to the internal components of your phone, and vaporizing the moisture inside the phone can just spread it further. -Shaking your phone can get rid of a lot of those pesky droplets of moisture stuck inside the phone. -Put the phone in a plastic bag, and suck out the air with a vacuum cleaner or shop vac. -Uncooked rice is naturally absorbent, and water can flow right out of a phone and into the rice. Put the phone and all its parts in a bowl or jar of rice, and leave it there for at least 48 hours. -Try submerging your phone in circuit-safe cleaner or pure grain alcohol, which will absorb the moisture, clean any impurities, and ultimately evaporate without leaving a conductive residue. -Don’t keep the phone in a jar of rice next to the sink or washing machine, for instance, where accidents can happen. -It is very, very important to give your phone at least 2 days to dry. -It’s possible that you have your warranty through a third party vendor, such as Asurion or SquareTrade. They might cover accidental spills or submersion. -Once you’re sure your phone is dry, you can plug it back in and try to turn it on. If it powers up, you’re in business.

Which fingers do you wear rings on? Rings aren't just beautiful jewelry. They can say a lot about your relationship status, level of education, and even your personality! Everything depends on the finger on which you're wearing a ring. So, if you wanna learn about the meanings of rings on different fingers, watch our new video! For example, according to Chinese philosophy, a ring on the right thumb means flexibility and the ability to adapt to the will of other people. A ring on the left index finger means that you long for power and want to be in charge. A ring on the right middle finger is associated with the ability to analyze situations correctly and make your own independent. A ring on the left index finger means that you long for power and want to be in charge.

Anyone who’s ever been on a diet knows how long it takes for the unwanted pounds to go away. Sound familiar? Then you should know that some of your nighttime habits might prevent you from losing weight and make you gain weight. TIMESTAMPS You’re not getting enough sleep 0:38 You overeat at dinner 2:24 You go to bed right after dinner 3:16 You have fried food for dinner 3:54 You eat spicy food at dinner 4:49 You have cereal or other carbohydrates for dinner 5:32 You love eating dessert at night 6:40 You snack after dinner 7:19 You tend to skip dinner 7:48 You consume alcohol or caffeine 8:46 You use a cell phone or computer before bed 9:27 You go to bed late every night 9:52 SUMMARY Chronic sleep deprivation is an enemy that slowly takes away your health, working capacity, and mental acuity. However, start fighting it, and in just a week you’ll be feeling much better. Try to dine in twilight. During a meal in a darker space, we don’t notice how much food is left on our plate and end up eating exactly as much as we need. Enjoying the atmosphere, we eat more slowly. You should have your last meal approximately 1.5-2 hours before bed. Also, try to relax before sleep. Breathing exercises, a bath, or meditation will all do the trick. You should opt for baked, grilled, or steamed recipes at night. Also, try to rethink your diet. Avoid special dietary products and low-fat foods. Instead, choose eggs, lean meat, and vegetables and healthy fats such as avocado, nuts, and high-fat fish. Actually, spicy food is good for speeding up your metabolism. Eat it, if you like it — maybe just not at night. For dinner, you can have smoothies or fresh fruit, all kinds of salads or high-protein foods. But in small portions, of course! Also, try another trick: choose a small plate. Another way to fight a craving is to brush your teeth instead of eating dessert. You’ll feel the menthol of the toothpaste in your mouth, and your brain will get a signal that the meal is over. You overeat and consume empty calories, so you get extra energy that keeps you awake. Also, skipping meals can cause anxiety. You lose muscle tissue, and your skin gets loose. Even if you don’t have time for a decent lunch or dinner, at least try to eat a piece of fruit. Simply drink less alcohol. Several glasses of wine drunk 3-4 times a week lead to a ‘wine waist’ with a potbelly and fat sides. Turn devices off at least one hour before bed, and read a book or listen to relaxing music instead. Go to sleep as soon as you feel sleepy. If you feel upbeat by the end of your day, try to include some physical exercises. And you don’t have to go to the gym — long walks will do along with lunges, squats, and push-ups at home.

Doesn’t it feel like 24 hours in a day seem to be getting shorter and shorter? No, our planet isn’t spinning any faster, we’re just getting busier! Keeping up with your school, work, and home responsibilities means there’s no time left for you to take care of yourself. Well, don’t sweat it! All you need is 1 minute a day to totally transform your physical and mental health! So, what does this “1 minute a day” involve? The answer is simple: just one easy-to-do exercise. No, it’s not your traditional jumping jacks, squats, or planking. All you have to do is put your legs up on a wall! TIMESTAMPS: Put on something comfortable 1:17 Choose the right place for the exercise 1:41 What changes in your body you can expect 2:19 Improvement in your mental health 4:51 Other benefits 7:01 Precautions 8:12 #legsupthewall #yogaposes #mentalhealth Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY: You’ll strengthen your leg and abdominal muscles as well as improve mobility and flexibility in your hips. Your blood circulation will improve. Elevating your legs like this increases the blood flow to your upper body, enriching it with oxygen. The 1-minute legs-up-the-wall exercise will prevent the development of varicose veins. This exercise will help you get rid of leg heaviness and fatigue that usually appear after an especially busy workday. For women who are menstruating, elevating your legs like this will help reduce the pain of menstrual cramps. You’ll see improvements in your digestion and gastrointestinal health. Again, this has to do with combatting fluid retention and getting things circulating in your body. You’ll feel more relaxed, both physically and emotionally. Putting your legs up the wall drastically improves breathing. It allows you to inhale more air, and, as a result, your breathing becomes calmer and more rhythmic. Do this exercise, and you’ll have no problems getting some sleep each night. You’ll feel a noticeable improvement in your mood. With all the physical and mental changes that come, you’re bound to just feel better overall. Please remember to consult your doctor first before trying this exercise, especially if you have back problems. It should also go without saying that one minute of elevating our legs per day doesn’t replace a full exercise regimen.

Why do escalators have vertical grooves in them? Haven't you ever noticed that escalator stairs are grooved? Well, they are! But why do these moving stairs look so unlike regular stairs? In fact, those grooves perform an essential role in the operation of the escalator. First of all, an escalator is a complex mechanism, and the stairs you’re standing on are an integral part of it.

Hey guys! Do you like airplanes? Have you ever thought what would happen if a plane window you're sitting next to suddenly broke? Because even though it's almost unheard of, it HAS happened before! So, would you get instantly sucked out of the airplane? And could you be arrested for “breaking and exiting”?

Hey guys! If you like to learn new things about ancient people, prehistoric times, and anything connected with Earth's climate in the past, check this out. In 2010, fossilized fish was uncovered 250 miles west of the Nile river, where the Sahara Desert was as arid as ever. This chance finding led scientists to believe there could’ve been sea where the Sahara is now, so they conducted a geological survey of the area. And it yielded unexpected results: they found evidence of something huge under the sands, and it wasn’t part of any sea at all. For several months, the research continued with GPS equipment on land, and later, when all the ground data was collected, scientists took a look at the area from a satellite. The view was astounding! Actually, in this area, ancient human settlements had been found previously, and now the researchers finally had the answer as to why exactly they had chosen those spots to live. By the way, did you know that whales had once been land animals that evolved into marine ones? We’ll talk about that too! #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook: / brightside Instagram: / brightgram 5-Minute Crafts Youtube: https://www.goo.gl/8JVmuC Stock materials (photos, footages and other): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me/

The Hubble Telescope orbits our planet, looking out at the big unknown universe. Since it’s out of our atmosphere, the Hubble can see way further than telescopes on land. No clouds up there. This guy helped us confirm the theory about supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies. It also discovered a whole bunch of new galaxies, including the world's oldest one, which is about 8 billion years older than our Milky Way! But let’s travel 25 light-years away to another special star. Fomalhaut. It's almost twice as big and heavy as the Sun. If you look at it from far away, you can see a bright yellow disk around it. It’s a debris disk, full of bits of space rock, and it’s huge. Scientists were curious about it, was all this space dust gonna get smooshed together and become a planet one day? But then they saw something else! Right there, through all that debris, was a massive mysterious object... #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook: / brightside Instagram: / brightgram 5-Minute Crafts Youtube: https://www.goo.gl/8JVmuC Stock materials (photos, footages and other): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me/

Its full name is Carcharocles Megalodon, but some shark enthusiasts just call it “the Meg.” Whatever name it goes by, this giant was the biggest baddie of the ocean when it terrorized the waters 2 million years ago. Megalodon was the biggest shark of the ocean 23 million years ago. It could grow up to 60 ft, and its jaw bite was stronger than a T. Rex’s. Just imagine, the largest Megalodon tooth ever found is almost 3 times larger than the teeth you’ll find in the great white sharks of today! And the question is, does Megalodon still exist? Сould these scary sharks still be alive in the deepest parts of the ocean? Theories out there argue that these bad boys of the ocean are still around. As for science, it tells us that Megalodon sharks are extinct. But what if they live in the deepest place on Earth: the Mariana Trench? In our today's live stream, we're talking about all we know of Megalodon. By the way, you might think there was nothing that could stop them. However, even this massive shark had enemies, and their fights could be lethal... #megalodon #sharks #prehistoricanimals Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook: / brightside Instagram: / brightgram 5-Minute Crafts Youtube: https://www.goo.gl/8JVmuC Photos: https://www.depositphotos.com East News ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me/

Although some think mothers play the most important role in a child’s life and upbringing, there are things that a father will certainly do better. Especially when it comes to a son. Just think: First, the boy comes under the supervision of kindergarten teachers, and then he goes to a school where women constitute 90% of teachers. He is always in the company of women, and he often lacks male education. You should know that there are eight things that only a father can give his child. The last lesson, number 8, is the most valuable on this list as it helps kids learn how to stay happy no matter what happens.

Dad, of course. This is good training for masculine qualities. Through these games, the child will feel the taste of victory and realize how much effort it takes to reach it. Go to the store together and talk politely to the cashier so that your child doesn’t hesitate to communicate with unfamiliar women. That’s it. For a teenager, it’ll be a valuable gift if his father tells him about his first love and first dates and that he shouldn’t hurry because it’s better to wait for the right girl who will create a spark in his soul. A father is the only one who can properly teach his son to be strong and firm, to stand up for himself and what is right. Unlike mothers with stroking and caresses, fathers prefer active games with a "masculine character," such as tossing or spinning. Even if your child is 100% "urban," there’s no doubt that the ability to start a fire will come in handy for him in the future — at least for lighting a grill. You don’t even need to do anything special. Just be there from time to time, and talk to him. Your child needs to understand that there’s not only the mom with her requirements and expectations but also another person with a different approach.

What do black holes do? What do black holes really look like? The existence of black holes was predicted over a century ago with nothing but math equations. Now we’ve taken the first photo of one. But black holes still hold plenty of secrets. Like their even more mysterious mirror twins: white holes! Imagine if we could record a black hole on video. Watch it pull in and consume any matter that gets too close, even light itself!

How to Stay Safe in the Ocean. Any experienced lifeguard will warn you about a deadly phenomenon that claims the lives of more than 100 American beachgoers every year. In fact, about 80% of all rescues that lifeguards make have a connection to this danger. No, it’s not sharks or poisonous jellyfish or anything like that. The most treacherous thing that can happen to you in the ocean is a totally natural phenomenon called a rip current. The main reason why people lose their lives when stuck in a rip current comes down to panic. When they find themselves suddenly being pulled away from the shore at a high speed, terror ensues, they start to panic, wear themselves out in the fight, and drown because of it. What you should do instead is stay calm, take control of the situation, keep afloat, weigh your options, and don’t exhaust yourself. TIMESTAMPS What is a rip current and how is it so deadly? 1:02 How to identify a rip current? 4:10 What to do if you’ve been caught in a rip current? 4:52 Rip current research 6:50 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY -A rip is basically a strong current on the surface of the ocean that flows away from the shore. The main danger of a rip is that it flows seaward away from the shore, so it can easily pull unaware swimmers with it. -It often looks like a calm patch of water between breaking waves, which at first glance seems like the best place to enter the water. But don't let the tranquility deceive you because you might inadvertently pick the most dangerous place to swim. -The first thing you absolutely must do is stay calm. Panicking does not help; in fact, it ends up costing people their lives when they’re overcome by it. Second, you need to conserve energy. DO NOT attempt to swim against the rip current toward the shore. -Dr. Jamie MacMahan, a professor of oceanography started his own research using GPS devices to track rip currents in France, England, and the U.S. Among the great number of currents he’s studied, only 10 to 20% did not return back to the shore. The rest of them moved in circles.
