Oppenheimer: A visually stunning epic fuses genius and guilt

Natasha Perianayagam, an Indian-American student, was nominated to the Johns Hopkins Center For Talented Youth's list of the "world's brightest" students for the second year in a row based on the results of assessments taken by more than 15,000 students from 76 different countries that were above grade level. 13-year-old Perianayagam attends Florence M. Gaudineer Middle School in New Jersey.

As a Grade 5 student in the spring of 2021, she also took the Johns Hopkins Center For Talented Youth (CTY) test.

Her verbal and quantitative test scores were on par with the 90th percentile for advanced Grade 8 performance, driving her to the honours list for the year. She was recognised this year for her outstanding achievement on the SAT, ACT, School and College Ability Test, or other test she took as part of the CTY Talent Search, according to a press release from the university on Monday (February 6)

Perianayagam, whose parents are from Chennai, told PTI&nbsp;that in her free time, she enjoys drawing and reading JRR Tolkien's books.

In order to identify such prodegies&nbsp;from around the world and provide a thorough understanding of their academic ability, CTY uses above-grade-level testing.

Indian-origin Natasha Perianayagam named ‘world’s brightest’ student by Johns Hopkins for 2nd time in a row

Inflatable swimming pools are a source of immense enjoyment for little children, but for 8-year-old Vishalini, it has been a source of inspiration.

The 10-feet-long inflatable pool at her home led her to conceptualise an automatic inflatable flood shelter, which her parents helped design, prototype and patent.

Besides the patent that the trio hold, the little girl has also been awarded the Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar Award (PMRBP).

The coveted award is conferred by the Government of India to give recognition to children with exceptional abilities and outstanding achievements in the fields of innovation, scholastic achievements, social service, arts and culture and sports

“About two years ago, we were watching some TV news regarding flooding. Looking at the widespread damage caused, our daughter asked - 'Why can't people save themselves by using something like our inflatable pool?’ This sparked an idea in our minds and we deliberated upon it and improvised. That's how the concept came into being" Naresh, a PhD holder, engineering professor and Vishalini's father, told WION.

As per the design specifications, the shelter has provisions for seating up to 4 persons, it has seat belts, a first aid kit, storage for essential items etc.

It is powered by a solar panel, and also features like GPS and GSM connectivity for enabling communication and location tracking, besides a host of sensors.

Simply put, it's like an inflatable pool with a cover that automatically expands itself once the need arises. However, instead of holding water, it is meant to protect people from a deluge.&nbsp;

When asked how the floating structure could function in fast-flowing floodwaters, Naresh explained that it could be tethered to firm structures or anchored. When required, it is also meant for short distances in the floodwaters.&nbsp;

Patented as an ‘automatic multi-functional life rescue flood house’, the shelter currently exists only in a miniature prototype firm.

According to Naresh, the latest recognition for their daughter from the Indian government and the monetary reward of Rs1 lakh (US $ 1,330 approx.) has invigorated the family's efforts towards contributing to the nation and getting a working model ready.&nbsp;

Your dog may affectionately follow you everywhere and respond to variety of your commands to up the aww factor. But we don't take them to understand human language beyond a point. But a new study has revealed that dogs may be more intelligent than we think they are

The study involved six 'genius dogs' from across the world. Researchers from Hungary spent two years searching for dogs who could remember names of their toys.

If you are rubbishing this just because your dog remembers a few toys, hold your horses.

These genius dogs could remember names of at least 28 toys. Some of them could even remember 100!

They were then made part of Genius Dog Challenge, a live-streamed event in which the dogs took part in variety of experiments.

The dogs, Max (Hungary), Gaia (Brazil), Nalani (Netherlands), Squall (US), Whisky (Norway), and Rico (Spain) were part of the experiments.

A researcher who led the study has been quoted by The Guardian as saying that the dogs could sometimes remember name of a toy after hearing it just four times.

All the dogs who took part in the study were border collies, a breed that is known for its sheep herding skills. These dogs are known to be more attuned to cues from humans.
