When it comes to taking care of one's child, a parent would want to make sure that their child is in good hands. Nowadays, there are a lot of households with both parents working or single working parents which means they won't always be at home to watch and take care of their children.

Some parents opt to hire a caregiver or nanny but that doesn't always give one assurance that things are all well in good with their child. That's where nanny cams come in which allow parents to monitor their children and their nannies just to check that things are going well.

However, there are some points to consider when one installs nanny cams, especially with regard to privacy, security, and trust. The question now is: should you tell your nanny? Pure Wow enlisted Sheri Reed, a child care editor for Care.com, to share her opinions on the matter and some etiquette about these nanny cams.

Driving on the road can be just as stressful as commuting, if not more so. Many accidents happen on the street because people become impatient and irritable, not wanting to give way to others. Sometimes, this could also lead to road rage.

But in the case of this cyclist, there weren't any other cars on the road to block his way. In fact, the road was bereft of cars. However, there were pedestrians crossing. And the cyclist brushed past one pedestrian, nearly hitting him.

And instead of just moving on and getting to his destination, the cyclist stopped his bike, got off and confronted the man. It got violent real quick as the cyclist proceeded to headbutt the man, immediately got on his bike and sped off.

Livers on ice, which are destined for transplant, usually last for nine hours, and, if lucky, 12 hours. During this time, a lot of things should happen. First, the liver must be delivered from one hospital to another, while a surgical team is assembled. The operating room should also be prepped as a recipient is rushed into surgery, and the diseased liver should be removed with haste. It is a race against time as the liver deteriorates each hour on ice, and, if left on ice for too long, it won’t function in a human body again.

For this reason—along with the sobering statistic that 20 people die every day waiting for a transplant—doctors and scientists have long sought ways to preserve organs. Biologists now report a new strategy tested on five human livers: supercooling the organ to 4 degrees Celsius below zero, or just under 25 degrees Fahrenheit. This is below the freezing point of water, but the liver, perfused with a special solution, is never actually frozen. “When you touch it, it’s soft and there’s no ice,” says Shannon Tessier, a bioengineer now at Massachusetts General Hospital and co-author of the new study.

Preserved this way, the human livers appear viable, based on lab tests, for at least 27 hours. “That is impressive,” Ina Jochmans, a researcher and transplant surgeon at KU Leuven who was not involved in the study, wrote in an email.

This guy stood up the whole 6 hours so his wife could sleep. Now THAT is love. pic.twitter.com/Vk9clS9cCj

— Courtney Lee Johnson (@courtneylj_) September 6, 2019

An entrepreneur named Courtney Lee Johnson shared on Twitter this photo of a man standing up on a plane with a woman lying down across a row of 3 seats. According to the caption, the guy apparently “stood up the whole six hours so his wife could sleep. Now that is love.”

As of this writing, the photo has already garnered almost 16,000 likes and almost 3,500 retweets. However, not everyone agrees with Johnson that this is a gesture of love.

Some thought it was romantic, with one Twitter user writing: “I’ve never been THAT in love...can’t wait to be so in love that I even consider that an option lol.”

However, many considered the woman’s actions “selfish”.

“If that is love then I’d rather be lonely,” commented one person, while another said: “Not love but exploitation. She could have just rested her head on his lap. Very inconsiderate.”

How about you? What do you think about this?

Now this is something that will make your heart go “awww.”

This pair of toddler “besties” immediately rushed to hug each other when they spotted each on the streets of New York City. Their cute little moment was captured on video by the father of one of the kids.

The 2-year-old boys, named Maxwell and Finnegan, can be seen running on a tree lined block, their arms flailing, and embracing, in the now-viral footage posted on Facebook Sunday by dad Michael Cisneros.

Cisneros, who is Maxwell’s father, told ABC News the boys have known each other for about a year and are inseparable.

“When they are away from each other, they are always asking about one another,” he said. “They go to music class together, Dana Banana (a weekly music event) and they love to dance — both are excellent dancers.”

Adorable!

A hundred shortlisted entries in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition are being prepared for exhibit at the Natural History Museum in London. The museum gives us a preview of some of the more stunning images they selected. The image above is titled "Lucky Break," taken by Jason Bantle.

A raccoon pokes her face out of a 1970s Ford Pinto on a deserted farm in Saskatchewan, Canada. In the back seat, her five playful kits trill with excitement. It was a sentiment shared by Jason, waiting silently in a nearby hide, who had been hoping for this chance every summer for several years.

The only access into the car was through the small hole in the cracked safety glass of the windscreen. The gap was blunt‑edged but too narrow a fit for a coyote (the primary predator of raccoons in the area), making this an ideal place for a mother raccoon to raise a family.

Another of the "Highly Commended 2019" images is this battle between a cheetah and a pack of dogs by Peter Haygarth.

Peter had been following the dogs by vehicle as they hunted in Zimanga Private Game Reserve, KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. A warthog had just escaped the pack when the leading dogs came across the big cat. At first, the dogs were wary, but as the rest of the 12-strong pack arrived, their confidence grew, and they began to encircle the cat, chirping with excitement.

The elderly cheetah hissed and lunged back at the mob, his left ear tattered, the right one pinned back in the ruckus. As dust flew in the morning light, Peter kept his focus on the cat's face. In a few minutes the spat was over as the cheetah fled.

The Wildlife Photographer of the Year exhibit will open at the Natural History Museum on October 18th, which we presume will also be the date the winners will be announced. It will run through next May. See ten preview images and read their stories here. -via Digg

Barrel of brazen monkeys besiege school near Mt. Fuji https://t.co/RmSGqmwkxH

— The Mainichi (Japan) (@themainichi) September 10, 2019

It was a normal morning in Yoshiwara Kita Junior High School when residents and teachers spotted a bunch of monkeys hanging about the school, scaling its walls, and playing around the area. After 45 minutes, police were able to coax them to go back to their home in the mountains.

The school is situated at the foot of Mount Fuji, and there are peanut and tea fields nearby. It's common for students to report seeing the monkeys when following the path to school, but its principal, who looked rather surprised by the morning's turn of events, said it was the first time such a large number of them had come to the school.

In the photo above, Twitter user Mike Glenn holds a 5-minute short story issued to him by the Free Library of Philadelphia's kiosk at the Philadelphia International Airport. That's how long a 5-minute story looks. There are options for other lengths of time, so you can customize your reading to your individual time-killing needs.

You can find this unique vending machine in the quiet room at the airport. The Philly Voice reported on its installation last year:

The dispensers are the creation of Short Édition, a French community publisher that accepts user-generated stories and places them in reading length categories of one, three and five minutes. A five-foot tall, screenless kiosk invites travelers to select a reading length and then prints out the story on eco-friendly paper.

Siobhan Reardon, the director of the Free Library of Philadelphia (a public library system), described the impact she hoped this outreach program will have:

“Our goals are to create excitement about reading in unexpected places throughout the city and to increase public awareness of the Free Library’s programs and services,” said Reardon. “Having a kiosk at Philadelphia International Airport in the Library space there continues our outreach to people who may not be Free Library regulars, but who would enjoy a quick, accessible read."

When you need to unload a piano on the second floor, you do what you gotta do. But seriously, folks, this image posted at reddit brought out speculation that the truck crashed down from an unseen overpass, or even fell from a plane. The accident occurred in Alban, Ontario, Monday evening. After you've decided how it happened, watch the video.

Patent lawyer Jeff Steck keeps an eye on new patents. This one he spotted, issued on September 3, is quite intriguing. It's a decoy keyboard, with warmth, light, sound, and vibrations that are activated by the pressure of a cat on top.

Pet owners, and owners of cats in particular, know that upon sitting down at a computer their pet frequently desires to lay directly on the computer keyboard. While pet owners frequently attribute this behavior to a desire for affection, or conversely to a desire to annoy the pet owner, more likely the draw of the keyboard has more to do with warmth and proximity to interesting activity.

Since people with pets sitting at a computer keyboard typically need to use the keyboard, there is a need for a device that simulates a keyboard but provides for greater warmth and for interesting sound, light and tactile effects to divert their pet. When positioned close to an actual computer keyboard, such a needed device would draw the pet away therefrom and would provide for many hours of warmth, comfort and entertainment of the pet away from the owner's actual computer activities. Such a device would be relatively simple to manufacture and use, and would be safe for use around both pets and children. The present invention accomplishes these objectives.

I know what you're thinking: why didn't I think of that? There's a second version that resembles a laptop included in the patent. -via Boing Boing

Atlanta is notorious for its aggravating traffic. As if that isn't enough, the Big A also has a number of mond-boggling intersections. Peter Gorman, a full-time map designer based in Hawaii, recently finished a work entitled "Intersections of Atlanta." It highlights some of the oddities and missteps of city planning, and shows that bizarre intersections have artistic potential.

If you haven’t watched the chaotic trailer of Jojo Rabbit, watch it now.

Jojo Rabbit tells a story of Jojo “Rabbit” Betzler, a lonely German boy who has Adolf Hitler as an imaginary friend (a character which Waititi included in the film, but is not in the original novel the film was based on). Jojo’s world turns upside down when he discovers that his mother is hiding a young Jewish girl.

Why did Taika Waititi takes aim at Nazis and Hitler? This is his reply:

“There had definitely been a lot of fantastic and amazing films that had approached this subject from a really dramatic, very serious and earnest way,” he said, joined by Rockwell at the L.A. Times studio at TIFF. “And in this day and age right now, we can’t forget what happened. And I think people kind of are.”

The New Zealander is himself of Polynesian and Jewish descent and hopes the Fox Searchlight title, which Disney will release Oct. 18, offers a new way to remember the lessons of the past. “My fear is that people are going to start getting numb to the story of what happened in World War II, and I think you’ve got to find new and inventive ways of telling that story again and again.”

Are you looking forward to the film?

The 1960 film Psycho is a classic, but nearly 60 years later, we've become so familiar with the movie that we've forgotten how surprised the original audience was with the twist: the identity of the murderer. The modern audience already knows, so we tend more to deconstruct the building of suspense, the artful shower scene, and trivia like the toilet flushing. Back in 1960, Alfred Hitchcock went to great lengths to hide not only the twist, but many other details from the theater audience. Hitch came up with some pretty imaginative tactics, as Simon Whistler explains.
