Is there anyone who actually thinks parenting is easy? If they’ve ever had a kid, odds are, the answer is a resounding “no.” But as challenging as it is to raise little ones, there are lots of resources for support. This includes social media, where moms like Lauren McDonald get real when it comes to the ups and downs of parenting. In one viral video, she gives her viewers insight into what they do when their girls misbehave in public — this time in particular has dad taking action. As Lauren explains, the four of them were out for a meal at a restaurant. Unfortunately, their daughters were in quite a rambunctious mood. When it got to the point where it seemed they could be disturbing other guests, they decided to take action. But rather than losing their temper or punishing them physically, Dad steps outside with them for a chat. Watch for yourself in the video below. @lumcdonald They came back inside reset and well behaved. Apologies to anyone we may have disturbed during lunch today #gentleparenting #parenting #fyp #momsoftiktok #momtok #dadsoftiktok ♬ original sound – cj Getting on their level, he’s better able to have a difficult conversation about their behavior. While this can be challenging at times, too, Lauren is happy to report that this method works wonders for their little ones. In fact, once they came back inside, she says the kids were able to “reset” and be “well behaved.” How cool is that? Girl Dad Goes Viral for the Way He Calmly Talks to His Daughters About Their Behavior “THIS is gentle parenting,” someone points out in the comment section of the video. “So many people mistake it for permissive parenting and never actually correct behavior before starting fresh. Loving them through it without getting physical, Well done!” “This is the right way to parent!!!” another person shares. “Sometimes kids just need a little guidance versus being yelled at or ignored.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

Esther Boshoff lives in South Africa and is the Lodge Administrator at Lion Sands Game Reserve. She is no stranger to seeing wild animals in their natural habitat. The lodge offers accommodations for people visiting the area to participate in safari tours at the Sabi Sands Game Reserve. However, Esther was not on a safari when she recorded a leopard at her window stalking a nyala. @esther.boshoff A leopard stalking a nyala right outside my room window! #leopard #leopardcrawl #hunt #hunting #stalk #wildlife #wild #wildanimals #africa #southafrica #safari #safarilife #fyp #adventure #africanwildlife ♬ Funny – Gold-Tiger If you’ve ever seen a cat in “stalk” mode, it is pretty unmistakable. The cat is crouched and moving forward slowly. The movement is barely perceptible as it works to get closer to the prey. When she spots the leopard, it is crouched just inside a courtyard area. Image from TikTok. Esther continued recording as the leopard slowly crept along the wall. Image from TikTok. As the leopard reached the table, she panned across the courtyard to show the male nyala grazing. A member of the antelope family, nyalas are nomadic, with no defined territory. They often follow troops of baboons to feed off the leaves and fruits left behind and can thrive on weeds that grow in overgrazed pastures. Female nyalas do not have horns and have white, vertical stripes around the torso. A nyala bull has spiraling horns that can grow almost three feet long. They are not defenseless but may not fare well against the leopard. Image from TikTok. Esther stopped filming before the leopard outside her window completed the attack on the nyala. Although the encounter is perfectly normal, we’re content not having that imagery portrayed in full color. We can imagine that the nyala got in a good jab or two and escaped unscathed. Please share if you enjoyed this leopard outside of Esther’s window. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

What if there was a megatsunami and nobody noticed? It almost happened last year, when a rockslide occurred halfway up Greenland’s east coast. The wave produced was initially 200 meters (650 feet) high, yet they got very little coverage – we must confess, IFLScience missed it as well. In our defense, no one was hurt and it is only now that scientists have reported the most interesting part of the event; the creation of a second type of wave that kept the waters of a fjord oscillating for a week.The tsunamis we are most familiar with are caused by volcanoes or undersea earthquakes. Tsunamis can also be caused by rocks falling into the ocean – most dramatically in the case of the impact that killed most dinosaurs, but usually caused by avalanches. This sort of tsunami is surprisingly common – one in 1958 triggered the highest waves ever recorded.We seldom hear about events like this because they most often happen where ice is abundant, such as near the poles. Consequently, six years after a megatsunami 100 meters (330 feet) high devastated a small community in West Greenland, another one struck on the opposite coast. But when Angela Carrillo-Ponce of GFZ German Research Centre for Geoscience and colleagues examined the seismic data, they noticed something unusual.A signal could be observed from the initial swift release of a great deal of energy, but it was accompanied by a second note, known as a very long-period (VLP) signal. This, the team found, was from a seiche – a standing wave that makes a body of water oscillate. You might be familiar with seiches from the astonishing discovery of a fossil bed created by one on the day the dinosaurs died or the home of the world’s rarest fish. You might also have made one in your bath as a child if you pushed the water around at a frequency that matched the resonance of the container, or produced one in physics class as your teacher demonstrated standing waves.The one these researchers found is on a different scale, timewise, however. “The fact that the signal of a rockslide-triggered sloshing wave in a remote area of Greenland can be observed worldwide and for over a week is exciting, and as seismologists this signal was what mostly caught our attention,” Carrillo-Ponce said in a statement. “The analysis of the seismic signal can give us some answers regarding the processes involved and may even lead to improved monitoring of similar events in the future. If we had not studied this event seismically, then we would not have known about the seiche produced in the fjord system.”Social media posts provided scientists with the first indication something big had happened on Greenland’s east coast, followed by reports of large waves from the (unoccupied at the time) Danish naval base on nearby Ella Island. The origins of the tsunami were traced to a side valley of Dickson Fjord, where satellite images revealed a here-yesterday-gone-today patch of rocks sitting 300-400 meters (984-1,312 feet) above the waterline. Researchers determined that a landslide swept a mix of glacier ice and rock into the water and around 1.6 kilometers (1 mile) along the valley until it reached the fjord proper.No one witnessed what happened to the waters within the fjord. Seismic data suggests the initial tsunami was still around 60 meters (200 feet) high as it traveled most of the inlet’s length, but it faded quickly once it reached the open sea.However, some of the energy bounced back and forth within the 20-kilometer (12-mile) long and 2-kilometer (1.2-mile) wide fjord, producing a seiche. The seiche was initially about 2.6 meters (9 feet) high, and bounced back and forth between the side walls with a period of a little less than two minutes, fading exceptionally slowly.Icefalls have created VLP signals we have detected previously, but this one’s length startled researchers, particularly given the distance to stations that could detect it. “It is quite impressive to see that we could use good-quality data from stations located as far as Germany, Alaska and North America, and that those records were strong enough for at least one week,” Carrillo Ponce said.The cause of the landslide is unknown. However, with ice holding many rocky but unstable parts of Greenland’s cliffs together, it is plausible that climate change is a contributor. Notably, most events like this have occurred in late summer.A tsunami can be considered "mega" if it is more than 100 meters (330 feet) high at the source, even if it quickly falls below that levelThe study is published open access in The Seismic Record. 

The level of public interest in supposedly alien mummies from Peru is growing and now Republican US Congress member Tim Burchett has become interested in studying them. Previously, Burchett, who is interested in ufology, was in the media because of his criticism of the US government regarding the strict secrecy imposed by the authorities on everything related to UFOs. Burchett said she intends to bring together “the most important people in the world” to study the Peruvian three-fingered mummies. The study will be conducted at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, to ensure the results are “independent of the federal government.” The famous Nazca Mummies have been shrouded in controversy since they were first presented to the world back in 2017. Alongside many scientists who specialize in forensics, Latin American journalists Jaime Maussan and Jois Mantilla have remained at the forefront of this case. They are doubling down on what they believe to be one of the most important discoveries in human history. Burchett does not directly call these mummies alien, but given his interest in UFOs, it is likely that he considers them so, and therefore wants to get much more convincing results than those that the team of Mexican ufologist Jaime Maussan is gradually laying out. Previously, the highest point in the case of the Peruvian three-fingered mummies was the exhibition of two of them in the Mexican Congress in September 2023. This was done through the efforts of Jaime Maussan. “I would be happy to help you… I would also be interested in getting some people to analyze these bodies that are independent of the federal government… We will be looking for the most important people in the world to do this,” Burchett told Maussan’s team. The University of Tennessee in Knoxville (Burchett’s hometown) is home to an internationally recognized center for the forensic examination of human remains: the so-called “Body Farm”. Last year, the University received two major grants to study the possibility of high-quality DNA recovery from old and long-decomposed remains. It is believed that the Peruvian mummies will be studied as part of the same program. The post US Congressman Assembles Team to Scrutinize ‘Alien’ Peruvian Mummies appeared first on Anomalien.com.

On paper, finding out that a new Age of Empires game is about to be released is always a good thing. AoE 2 is one of the set texts of the RTS genre, up there with Command and Conquer, StarCraft, and Total Annihilation. With Civilization 7 and Frostpunk 2 inbound, it’s heartening to see the return of the strategy series, the last full outing for which was back in 2021. But the upcoming Age of Empires might not be precisely what you hoped. It will be released very soon, and we’ll definitely give it a chance, but this isn’t the full return to PC of which you might have dreamed.

H2M, a Call of Duty mod intended to bring Modern Warfare 2s multiplayer content into Modern Warfare 1's 2017 remaster, was suddenly canceled a day before its intended release via a cease and desist letter from Activision.

FAT32 is limited to 32GB in existing versions of Windows. | Image: Tom Warren / The Verge Microsoft is planning to remove the 32GB size limit for FAT32 partitions in Windows 11. While FAT supports volumes up to 2TB, Windows has had a 32GB arbitrary limit in place for nearly 30 years. “When formatting disks from the command line using the format command, we’ve increased the FAT32 size limit from 32GB to 2TB,” revealed the Windows team in a blog post on Thursday detailing the latest Windows 11 canary test build. The limit is only being removed from the format command line right now, so the existing format dialog box will continue to have the FAT32 size limit unless Microsoft finally decides to update this Windows feature it has forgotten about for decades. The 32GB limit was originally put in place during the development of... Continue reading…
