How to nurture your child’s creativity

We tend to assign creativity to certain people and not to others, as if it's something you're born with and can't be taught. The reality is, however, that we are all capable of fostering creativity in ourselves and others, particularly children. Kids can exercise their creativity and imagination in countless ways, from art to music and play. It helps them to develop socially, emotionally, and academically, so it's just as important to encourage them to play and create as it is to make sure they're doing their homework and finishing their chores. Click through the following gallery to learn more about the role creativity plays in your child's development and how you can nurture this aspect of them.

The greatest crooners of all time

We'll always have a place in our hearts for smooth-singing crooners. Decades ago, a number of charming men captivated audiences with their jazz-infused heartfelt singing. Crooning's popularity rose in the 1920s, when singers started to make the most of the new, dynamic range covered by microphones. Voices could be heard differently, and finer details picked up on. It's as if these singers were whispering sweet nothings in our ears. The style evolved over the years to incorporate more pop elements, as well as other music genres. And while many of the great ones are no longer among us, some contemporary singers are still carrying the flag for crooners. In this gallery, we travel to the bygone golden era when crooners dominated the charts and remember some of the greatest of all time. But we also show you there's still hope for the present and future! Ready? Click on!

The best and worst human foods to feed your dog

Our pets are part of the family, which means that every now and again we want to spoil them. It's common to give dogs a little bit of food off our plate as a treat, or maybe even a bit that's fallen to the floor. However, we want to make sure that the foods we're treating them to aren't going to cause more harm than good. Some human foods are actually incredibly healthy for dogs, and can be included in your dog's regular diet. Others, however, are extremely dangerous—and it's not just chocolate you need to be aware of. Click through this gallery to find out which human foods are healthy and which are hazardous for your pooch.

These books had to be rewritten

Most people assume that once a book is published, that's the permanent record, and it's too late for any do-overs. But the truth is that just because an author signs off on a book, it doesn't mean it can't be rewritten. Some writers are simply never completely satisfied with their work, and will go back after it's published to make changes. Other books had to be rewritten, with racist terms removed and passages of text amended. From Mary Shelley's 'Frankenstein' (1818) to Roald Dahl's 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' (1964), click on for books that were edited even after they'd been published.

The mysterious history of medieval magic, wizards, and sorcerers

We've all heard countless stories of wizards (who were born as mere mortals but learned magic) and sorcerers (who were born with magic but had to learn to master it). Both were figures shut away in dark towers conducting arcane experiments, bringing objects to life and hexing their enemies. Pointy hats, magical staffs, enchantment scrolls—all these things are hearty food for the imagination, and most believe it ends there.

Famous people who lied to get ahead in their careers

We’ve all gently elaborated on our skill sets once or twice to get a job—we’re looking at you, fake Excel users—and it’s not so different in Hollywood, though it is slightly more exciting. But in the entertainment industry, there’s a secret that most talent agents will tell their clients, which is to say that you can do any skill a producer or casting director might ask of you because if you land the job you can simply learn the skill later. You might be thinking that those lies could end disastrously, and indeed they have in many cases! But in others, those lies are why some of the celebrities we know and love found their way to fame. To see which beloved stars lied to get ahead in their careers, click through.

The obsession with single shaming

For centuries, society has taught us that being married is a life imperative. Historically, it was unthinkable that a person should achieve happiness without being in a committed, long-term relationship. This way of thinking is, of course, completely outdated, but it still runs deep in society and drives behavior today. As a result, many people who are not in a relationship find themselves pitied, or even mocked, for being single. This behavior is known as "single shaming." At the very best it's super annoying, while at the very worst it's damaging to a person's mental health. In this gallery, learn all about single shaming and some tips for how we can stop it.

The longest words in the world, and what they mean

If you think about it, words are perhaps the single greatest invention of mankind. Language has separated us from most other animals, and has allowed us to not only transmit information in an efficient way, but has also opened up an infinitely vast world of creative expression. We can all agree, however, that language isn't always a walk in the park. Sometimes we can't find the right words for what we want to say, and other times the words available to us are impossibly long and complex. We've all heard "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious," and we all know it's not exactly a 'real' word. So what are they longest words in the world, and how could we ever possibly use them?
