"Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up."
Pablo Picasso

Just because children possess less knowledge of how the world works, that doesn't mean they can't have ideas for practical and useful inventions. In fact, many people believe that children are capable of being particularly creative for the simple reason that they don't yet know how difficult many things are, and are therefore able to imagine much more than adults. In fact, there are plenty of things we enjoy on an everyday basis that were invented by children or teenagers. And if their creativity doesn't deserve recognition, what does? Kid Inventors' Day is the day we celebrate all the kids who dared to defy the world and come up with better solutions than all of the adults before them.

History of Kid Inventors' Day

Kid Inventors' day was created several years ago by people who wanted to celebrate the achievements of the youngest inventors as well as encourage more children to be creative. The date chosen to celebrate this day, January 17th, was no accidentit is the anniversary of renowned polymath, politician and child inventor Benjamin Franklin's birthday. Due to his countless other achievements, many people don't know that when Franklin was just 12 years old, he invented the world's first swim flippers, making him a great role model for every child who dreams of making something nobody has ever seen before. Over the centuries, other children have invented many other things we continue to use today, such as popsicles (a very tasty accident!), the trampoline and ear muffs. Perhaps one of the most impressive things invented by a child is the language of the blind now used the world over, Braille. Louis Braille, its inventor, lost his vision in a tragic accident at age 3 and spent his early teen years developing his new language while studying at The National Institute for Blind Youth in Paris. Almost 200 years later, American teen Ryan Patterson also improved the lives of the disabled when he invented a glove with special sensors that translates the hand motions of American Sign Language into written words on a digital display.

How to Celebrate Kid Inventors' Day

If you have children, Kid Inventors' Day could easily turn out to be one of the most educational and at the same time fun days you've ever spent together. Children's minds are yet unlimited by the knowledge of what's possible and what's not, and as sometimes just believing that something is possible is enough to make it so, you may be truly astounded at the ideas your children come up with. Who knows, perhaps you are unwittingly living under the same roof as a potential Ben Franklin? The Kid Inventors' Day website also offers plenty of fun ideas on how to spend this day creatively and productively, such as taking part in a rubber band contest for young inventors. If you live nearby a museum, Kid Inventors' Day is also the perfect day to take your children there to look at all of the amazing things people have made over the ages that can serve as inspiration to them.

However you decide to spend this day, be sure to raise awareness about how much children can achieve and encourage them to reach for the stars!

History of Ditch New Year's Resolutions Day

The History of Ditch New Year's Resolutions Day is as old as New Year's Resolutions. In the inebriated, hopeful light of the dawn of the New Year, we all believe that the next year is going to be different, that we won't go back to our old habits, and we won't let things continue as they are. What a terrible shame that, year after year, New Year's Resolutions are shown to be about as effective as a hole-ridden umbrella is at keeping the rain out.

So don't keep yourself tied to them any longer, realize that you've got to make real strides, all year long to make any kind of change happen, and start looking at real lifestyle changes. Little bits at a time you can make whole life resolutions, and leave the bitter disappointment of not going down a few sizes in the dirt of changing a lifetime of bad habits.

How to Celebrate Ditch New Year's Resolutions Day

Well, this part is pretty obvious, don't you think? Ditch those New Year's Resolutions like a bad habit. They're not really going to see you through the year anyway! Instead, as mentioned above, the best way to celebrate is by reevaluating your life as a whole, and start finding real and meaningful reasons to change, not just because it's a New Year and that magically inspires you with Will and determination you didn't have the year before.

It's also important to realize that some of your New Year's Resolutions are just silly, limiting, or depressing. Some people swear to things like never falling in love again, and who needs that in their life? Get out there and start living your life and being satisfied with who you are, and if you aren't genuinely satisfied, change it for that reason, and not because a new calendar has flipped over!

In early 1871 British-born, US resident Andrew Smith Hallidie received the first patent in relation to the cable car, an occasion which is marked by Cable Car Day.

Hallidie's design for cable-propelled transit emerged when he witnessed horses falling, and even dying, while attempting to pull cars up San Fransisco's steep Jackson Street. Fortunately for San Fransiscan equines, Hallidie had the talent to turn his sympathy into action, having previously invented a type of aerial tramway and designed improvements to mining ropes which resulted in their economic life extending by more than 873%...

Two years after receiving his cable car patent, Hallidie set up the world's first cable car rail road on Clay Street. None of the original line survives but grip car 8 is preserved in Mason Street's Cable Car Museum (which, obviously, sits on two of San Fransisco's three cable car routes).

Those who find themselves outside San Francisco on Cable Car Day can still get in on the fun. Other cities operating cable car railways include Venice, Tampa, Las Vegas and Milan but, if you're nowhere near a rail road, you can still honour the origins of the cable car by patting a horse on the head!
