Traits you have your mom to blame for (and some your dad)

You've probably been told that certain traits are inherited from either your mother or your father. But is this really so? Well, there might be some truth behind these claims. We inherit DNA from both our parents, and any traits passed on to offspring differ, depending on the parent. The fact of the matter is we obtain some of these traits from our moms, as we do others from our dads. But which is which? Click through this gallery to find out.

What kind of future do our children face?

A child's life journey begins the minute said child is born. And the development of a youngster—physically, mentally, and psychologically—before the age of eight is absolutely crucial to their well-being. But millions of kids around the world are denied even the most basic of care during this critical stage of their lives. The consequences of such indifference are dire. Lack of support, encouragement, and love can derail a child's future before it's even begun. It's therefore essential for parents or guardians to spend time nurturing and cultivating the joys and treasures of childhood. But it's also the responsibility of society in general to ensure a child grows up in a safe and happy environment. Worryingly, however, little progress is being made in some quarters to eradicate major causes of child neglect, things like poverty and even climate change. So, what kind of future do our children face, and how can we make it better, brighter, and more beneficial? Click through and become aware of the next generation's hopes and fears.

Meet the dogs that are banned around the world

When you're thinking about what kind of dog to get, most people go for the more obvious breeds, but some go for the ones with the reputation as "violent," and they often find out that it's actually restricted or banned in their home country. In fact, 52 countries have some form of breed-specific legislation, which is a type of law that prohibits or restricts particular breeds or types of dog. They range from outright banning the possession of these dogs (with threat of putting them down), to restrictions and conditions on ownership, including things like what age a person can be to own one, and the requirement of a short leash, a muzzle, registration, insurance, sterilization, microchip implants, or even tattoo. These laws were born out of a number of fatalities or maulings, and so they presume specific breeds to be dangerous or vicious. Naturally, there has been some backlash, but nonetheless the restrictions remain in place. Click through to see the most commonly banned or restricted dogs around the world.
