10 things that we should never do for our children. Sometimes parents help their children too much: take these things into account, and your children will thank you.

I know it’s hard to step back and let your children do things for themselves because your parental instinct just wants to coddle them as long as you can. But are you doing more harm than good?..

What are those scary metallic sounds from space? Do aliens send signals to us? Scientists may finally have been discovered the source of the strange sound from space.

We’ve learned a lot about the universe, but there’s still so much we don’t know. One mystery in particular has been tormenting the minds of scientists for years. In 2007, researchers caught some weird radio signals coming from a place billions of light-years away.These signals weren’t the first radio signals scientists ever heard coming from deep space. They’re something known as fast radio bursts (FRBs) and can be described as short pulses of radio flashes arriving from the galactic outskirts of the universe. These bursts, whose exact sources are completely unknown to us, last a tiny fraction of a second and usually appear alone.

Researchers at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics suppose that the source of these FRBs could be a gigantic transmitter twice the size of Earth powered by sunlight.

The second theory states that strong extragalactic beeps seem to be arriving from a massive black hole or an unprecedentedly powerful neutron star located more than 3 billion light-years from our planet in a potent interstellar nebula.

Jason Hessels, associate professor of the University of Amsterdam, and his team of researchers believe that the source of the bursts could be a rotating neutron star whose home is a place with a harsh magnetic environment, for example, a black hole that’s sucking in dust and gas and, therefore, still growing.

How to Survive Natural Disasters. Here’s a list of survival tips that can save your life in an emergency.

We live in a time when natural disasters occur more and more often and get more and more devastating. Many of us believe we should blame the human race for that. Whether it’s true or not, we all want to know how to survive when those disasters happen.

Some rules are universal for most natural disasters. A national campaign called Ready was started in the United States to inform the population about how to get ready for and survive in different emergency situations. It recommends having a basic survival kit to provide you with the most important things just in case. Remember you will need to have enough food, water, and other supplies for at least 72 hours after the disaster.

“Other supplies” include a battery powered weather radio, flashlight, first aid kit, a whistle, a dust mask, personal sanitation items (such as moist towelettes), pliers, can opener for food, maps of your area and an emergency cell phone with backup batteries.

The color you give more preference to in your wardrobe surprisingly reveals a lot about your personality. Emmy Award-winning stylist and author of the book “Color Your Style” David Zyla shares the secrets behind your outfit choices.

The color black is perceived by others as an indicator of prestige, power, seriousness, and intelligence. Brown’s earthy tone is the color of reliability, strength, and stability. Blue is the best choice for an interview because it speaks of confidence and dependability. Green is the color of nature, which gives us the same feeling of peace and tranquility. Any bright shades of red easily draw attention to the person wearing them. The color yellow boosts serotonin production in the brain, speeds up metabolism, and instantly lifts your mood. White is the symbol of freedom, purity, innocence, and simplicity. Soft pink is considered calm, loving, and womanly. As stylists like to say, gray is the color of balance.
