at the moment I don't like the meaning of child prodigy, you don't have to be disabled to be different everyone is different welcome to the world of genius some genius is an arbitrary label the strict definition is an outstanding artistic or intellectual ability in short, extreme talent the thirteen year old girl is kianak Romaric fits perfectly and has a claim behind her gift One day I started having these amazing and mysterious visions, that voice kept guiding me through these galaxies and he asked him, do you know who you are? and I started calling him God, Keanu, he's an art prodigy from Idaho who says God told him to paint and for nine years he hasn't stopped.

I'm just saying that God and I are in control of everything, so he tells me an idea and I could take that idea and improve it and polish it. better and I just put it in paintings so that he is like my personal teacher. I Teeter, she was 4 years old when I knew there was something special about her because she was describing many new things about spiritual matters and also started to draw exceptionally well. Oh. Kiana developed an intense interest in drawing when she was 5 years old, she was already drawing at a level far beyond her age.

I thought she was dreaming. I thought there was something made from her imagination, but as she started describing more and more, it became clear that actually, this was something that happened in her 80s. Kiana was painting portraits on giant canvases. She took me a little by surprise because we never read the Bible or had any kind of spiritual connection with any artists in her family. She was completely independent. I was taught that this is actually one of my favorite and most memorable paintings. Her name is Prince of Peace when she was paying for this when she was 8 years old with oil paints.

Many artists from all over the world always asked me how you did this. and how did you do that? I said oh no, I just did it. It is very difficult for a child to explain what he did. The only way they can encompass him is through painting or his creativity, described by art critics as phenomenal. talented, she has now produced over 100 paintings ranging from

real

istic portraits to fantastical landscapes and the natural world. Each of them can take between 15 and 300 hours to complete. Kiana's genius could be explained by her hard work. Homeschooled. She gets up at 4. a.m. 6 days a week and she paints up to 5 hours a day, sometimes there are days there, sometimes when she is finishing a painting she can paint for 1214 hours and I would ask her to take breaks and have something to eat or drink and sometimes she she refused Oh Kiana only studies the subjects she likes she loves to print publish her books and poetry and art and that's what she loves to do them - all day long I don't ask her to do math if the critics say no wonder If you are a genius because you dedicate all your time to art, then it would be a better place in the world where there would be more people interested in focusing their energy on the fields they are interested in, while some

geniuses

use their talents to create. a feast for the eyes others may find his unique skills not so useful I have printed more An unemployed accountant Darby is perhaps an unlikely genius but on today's shopping trip he set himself a challenge Ben will try to remember the 13 digit barcode of each item in your basket this means memorizing the order of 130 digits in just 5 minutes most of us can only remember up to 7 new numbers time for Ben to see how far he can go bacon 5 0 0 0 1 9 2 0 1 4 1 8 7 big cake that's five zero zero zero one nine two two six four three six zero Ben is the UK memory champion and a world record holder I have a record for memorizing the most decks of cards in one hour 27 packs and also four binary digits which are ones and zeros I have the record of memorizing the most of them in 30 minutes 4140 digits garlic bread which is five zero zero zero one nine two zero four three seven seven four yeah, actually, just since I discovered this hobby of mine I signed myself well, Excel did anything has the Bears sweet five seven zero three one seven zero four zero five two six I turned the numbers into pictures we should have in the lemons there was a lemon being fed to a sasquatch carrying a Plastic Mac consumed the package of sausages and a leg in practice, people are either completely baffled or think it's extremely cool, it's kind of a 50/50 split.

I think that's weird, that's amazing, yeah, I can't, I just don't even remember Mary buying this. some days I won't if the few people who find this kind of stuff really funny you told your birthday Oh 706 1980 is Sunday and this year it's Sunday you retire in 2045 on a Thursday you will be 65 in 24 in Salt Lake City, Utah, all the The world knows the 56-year-old genius Kim, who peaked on April 12, 2006, so he turns two on Saturday and when can he retire? Good girl, when will you let her retire. Many know that he is the real Rain Man Kim.

He was the inspiration for Dustin Hoffman's character in the Oscar-winning film of the same name. With brain damage since birth and a rare condition known as savant syndrome, Kim has somehow been given an unparalleled ability to memorize facts and information. Savant syndrome is a rare but spectacular condition and with someone with a developmental disability like autism having a spectacular island of genius that contrasts sharply with the general disability for years doctors have tried to fathom Kim's spectacular brain. I'll just ask you some general questions. I can do that? yeah, okay, today it's the turn of the world's leading expert on savant syndrome, dr.

Darrell Trafford, when did President Truman remove the MacArthur Knights from his command? April 19 April 11 I am 51 years old when in Hong Kong I returned from British colonial rule to July 1, 1997 when Saigon fell to North Vietnam April 29, 1975 when Kim was 9 months old The medical world said he would never speak or be able to learn, proving the experts wrong. He is now believed to have the greatest factual memory in the world. He memorizes 98% of everything he reads. I still think that the sign of complete memory will have to appear very soon. as if it weren't a computer, but it doesn't, it continues to absorb and not only absorb but also remember what day Easter was this year what day it was March 23rd we won't see another one this early again until the 21st 60 then we won't when will be the last time 1913 you should remember then how many years before the next one hundred and fifty-two years what year will that be 2160 it is believed that Kim's talent may be due in part to the fact that his brain is wired in a completely different way from the rest of us since birth.

Kim's corpus callosum, the white matter that carries vital connections between the left and right halves of the brain, has completely disappeared, but somehow Kim's brain has managed to rewire itself. In a unique way, this could explain his

extraordinary

genius. What is the earliest date that Easter has fallen? 1761 1818 2274 How do you find out those things Kim? How do you do it by looking at my own heart my own mind? Kim, like most wise men, I don't explain how they do it Kim Kim, how do you remember all those things? I just know how you remember all those things.

I just know a lot about it and they don't really explain the methodology of it and I think in the reality classrooms. I'm not aware of what that process is every time I look at it and when I see it it is and it blows my mind. Your music means everything to ten-year-old Ariel Lonnie, a child prodigy from Israel. Arielle is more than just a the pianist is also a composer oh this could be an introduction and then it could be there before no that's what I want now first of all I want to write down the introduction okay before we start anything you have a topic, you have a topic now I'm going to do my opposite to post 9 and it puts 10, so I'm going to work on a 6 or 7, I don't have to do it, then I work on the procedure, none of them, there are no custom achievements. beyond, far beyond any gifted child I have ever known, the question was why do you accept criticism from your teachers, hell, from your parents, not from your mother, I am not from your father either, welcome, my teachers are parents a lot smarter, Gabi and Olga have raised their son in a home dominated by music Ariel was destined to be a pianist from the beginning we were negotiating for a piano and when all that was pregnant it was a yes and she said well why why are you So anxious about that, what is the big problem is not to come home from the hospital and start taking piano lessons, that's what I said no, but I don't want to bring a child from the hospital to a house that neither Gaby nor Olga has a piano.

He could play the piano. It was for only one person. When his newborn son was born, he started listening to music from the beginning because there was a tape that his father prepared for the occasion and from then on he was listening to music almost 24 hours a day. One day the theory exists. that young children can be taught anything, they don't have to be born that way, but the earlier education begins, the more they can achieve. It soon became clear that the theory was working. There were less than three, just a little lesson 3 and then we were in the car and he was sitting in the back listening to the radio and it was Beethoven's second piano concerto, which I recognize but I don't know. key and I didn't have the CD so I told him this is a Beethoven piano concerto and he said Ian and I didn't have the answer because I didn't have the city to look at right now and he said I can't say.

He says in B flat major and I looked at myself in the mirror and said: Are you sure? and he said yes, so needless to say, as soon as we got home I pulled out the city and looked at it, man, it's in B flat major. At five o'clock he had already decided to play the piano and started taking lessons at 7:00 he was playing classical concerts with an adult orchestra in a way that we created it to a certain extent by exposing it from the beginning and a baby doesn't do it. . he has many options or he just lies on his back and you touch the bar when you touch Barto he listens.

Ariel is now firmly on the path to a life of music, but although he displays talent far beyond his years, he is wary of being labeled. I do not do it. I like the meaning of child prodigy because child prodigy is basically someone who can play fast and no more than that, he doesn't understand the music, he just plays fast and how are you different because I understand the music that I analyze, are you a pianist or a musician, a doctor? No, genius? I won't be wonderful yet not while Ariel developed his gift from an early age others find greatness much later in life but it doesn't always reap rewards Ben Britt began more along Virginia's path in his early twenties when he began training himself for memorize decks of cards I held the record for memorizing a deck of cards in the shortest time possible 26.2 eight seconds with a single glance Ben is able to remember each number and each suit in the exact order in which he saw them six of spades Queen of hearts queen of diamonds eight of spades Ace of hearts not ace of diamonds it doesn't matter queen of clubs Ben is in treasure of clubs in just two days he will push himself to the limit and try to break his own world record nine of spades King of Hearts and three of diamonds Ben's genius lies not simply in remembering to play cards, but in the elaborate mental process he uses to do so.

I have an image in my head of a person or an object for every pair of two cards which comes to a total of 2700 for possible images, so for example, this pack of cards starts with the 7 of Spades King of Spades, which It's a packet of seeds that grow in m2 of Hearts 5 space that is multi hair out of wet, wet, wet and 5 of Hearts, king of clubs, which is Alma furred, okay, make a recovery time starts now, The key to Ben's memory genius is that he uses a different part of his brain to store new information compared to the rest of us to remember cards, most of us would use our working memory but this can only store up to seven new data, such as a phone number.

This information is only stored here for a few seconds before it is forgotten, but Ben can link any sequence of numbers and picture cards that he has permanently stored in his long-term memory. term memory this system means that in the UK memory world he reigns supreme it is a real community the memory championship people we get on well we all hang out outside of competitions we sit around talking in pubs about our systems we They sound like a terrible group of nerds, so be it.Aware of a terrible bunch of nerds, let's be honest about this, but being a memory giant hasn't translated into financial success.

Two years ago, Ben abandoned his career in accounting to focus on his talents. He now he is fighting. I'm completely broke. Right now I don't have any money. I have less than no money. I've got loans and stuff so I'm actually pretty desperate to get back to work at the moment and was struggling to find a permanent job in accounting. I tend to assume that I am a billionaire person by nature, which I strongly deny. I'm a bit of a fool in many ways. I just have an interesting hobby, possibly because I have too much free time. -The old prodigy of art is kianak.

Romaric absolutely believes that her God-given talent is behind her current extraordinary success at a local gallery that sells prints of her work. She has come to meet and greet some of her fans. Yes, in fact, for a couple of years, from when she was between 4 and 7 years old, she constantly had visions of heaven and she used those visions and painted them when she thought about it, you know? You are your age and you know, you are so established in this industry, you know, I admire you, thank you, a lot of inspiration for me, thank you, she has really been in touch with another dimension that is not common to our normal human experience. it is definitely projected she is like a projector of God on a canvas an artist since she was four years old this is not a simple hobby for our Kiana her prints alone sell for thousands of dollars at home she is the only breadwinner in the family with His parents and siblings carrying out specific tasks roles in his business being the main earner of the house is a big responsibility, but in reality he is my pain.

I just don't feel like he's making money. I'm doing business with them, but I just feel like I'm having fun with it. painting but Kiana's genius has made her family rich since now it is slow and the economy is a bit stagnant. I probably do what we do, I should say we do 50 prints a month, printing costs between $1,800 and 3,100 on top of the $100,000. more per month they make prints from time to time they sell a good original the most original are between 100,000 and 300,000 our highest once sold is 175 and that was a challenge there was the horse in the middle of the pines in the snow and it is sold to all the ranchers in Texas we try not to sell the originals, you know she has control because all this, you see it here, it's all hers, so when I'm 18, this will be hers, I go out of the picture and I do it. something more and the fruits Avakian will later be a new million dollar family home he should be painting in this area here we will probably have his easel here I know if an easel on this wall or an easel on that wall but we asked Lee he gave a little bit of a small kitchen where she could have her daily coffee or tea, but is this a normal childhood for a 13 year old girl if a normal childhood is sitting in front of the TV and being alone on set for 3 or 4 hours? one day I don't know if that's not a lot in childhood I consider a normal childhood and being able to serve other people to help other children enjoy what you are doing to be together with the family yes, I agree with that.

I have nothing to add to that. She's not missing anything. A self-taught genius is about to push himself to the limit. I'm going to try to break my world record. Those speed cards. I'm going to try to memorize just one package. of cards in a time faster than twenty-six point two eight seconds, but things don't quite go to plan for the UK memory champion, pushing him too hard halfway through. I lost count of all the images and I did it before I had much experience. The current record is around 26 seconds and we are very hopeful that he can lower it and give us a tremendous shock.

Ben gets a second chance. Ben hopes to have memorized the package in less than 24.68 seconds, but to prove it. now he must lay out a separate deck of cards in exactly the same order, that's my best guess anyway to decide that. The two decks must be compared card by card. I did it, yeah, twenty-four point six eight, it was at the end, which is almost exactly. the kind of moment I was hoping for, it's broken, but you know, the four minute mile for the brain, we start with a puppy giving a loudmouth a lesson, he was holding a microphone over a collar owned by his hammered machine, he was wearing a pair . of tongs to hold a packet of sorbet and pour it into a strainer is an objective test of how quickly it can be done and in that sense it is an incredible influence from an auctioneer who was selling a tentacle that was growing from a superhero with a armor. that he was planting a flag in my dad's old garage, just like that, in twenty-four and a half seconds in Israel it's 9:00 p.m.

On a Thursday night and ten-year-old musician Ariel Lonnie has a concert at the tender age of seven he expanded into the jazz scene. This concert is supposed to start at 9:30, which you probably won't, so it's closer to 10:00 it'll probably last until 11:00 11:30 but Adam will get home it'll be midnight that's obviously not a good thing ready for kids please jazz and if you want seven audiences you can't get an audience it's 4 p.m. Thank you very much, don't go, Jones, that's all, but can a 10-year-old kid handle the stress of a concert as late-night as Dave Brubeck's?

It's very, very good, but a child is just a little child, it means crazy nights and strange lights. It's a tiebreaker between what is this, what am I going to give to the world as he grows, what is, let's make sacrifices in fear while the set continues the night begins to take its toll Ariel decides to persevere now it's 10:30 p.m. How did I play? I could do better. You know I was right. We are going to improve. We have a team. Not happy. In exactly six weeks. Our sick. He makes his European debut at a Jazz Festival in Italy.

Could it be too much, too soon? The balance between protecting and encouraging a gifted child is incredibly difficult, but in Singapore, Valentine Corley is determined to help his eight-year-old son Island reach his full potential. The key may be a relatively small molecule circulating in a body fluid, while the lock is usually a large molecule known as a biological receptor that is often embedded in a cell membrane. Eynon Cawley's love for science was discovered when he was six years old. We discovered that he was interested in chemistry. When he was at his aunt's house, he found a chemist. book and he was reading it and his aunt saw him eating this and said, you seem to understand that and he said yes.

She went and took a test. She gave it to him. Oh, level example and he answered the questions correctly. Aylin told himself chemistry. on the Internet and at the age of seven he passed the level exam Oh, now his father is struggling to accelerate his academic career, he hid that Menuhin without a violin is not a violinist, he could have been and the same applies to any of these children if they do not get the opportunities they need, then all you have done is wasted their lives and wasted their contribution, they could have created a society, tell me why I can't climb, wait under the pressure, dad can't climb because he is so heavy, if he steps here You will ruin your feet because your weight, except in a small area, will cause a lot of pressure.

Lemmon weighs 100 kg and the surface area is approximately how many square inch per square in a square inch? Can you imagine what? It would have happened if Leonardo da Vinci had never been apprenticed to an artist, none of his work could have happened, putting a child like that in a regular school, there is a kind of abuse from his perspective, the school is like this how he describes it to me. school. one day he told me that the only thing I like about school is my friends, so he does have that, but the real lessons don't give him anything at all, nothing, I can't, although Island must continue attending primary school Valentine.

She has arranged for him, just eight years old, to also study chemistry at degree level. He is the only third year student here who can do the experiments because they have gone through the first and second year training before Island he just walks in as if he has gone through the first and second year of training, although he basically knows what to do if I increase the concentration of nitrogen, what will happen, very good reaction, reduce the concentration of nitrogen according to the principle of Kshatriyas, if I increase the concentration of chlorine, what will happen, yes. great the room will move to the right there is an idiot mind but the intelligence is more or less the same as ours which is a bit stressful do you worry Finn later you need to wash it with sodium chlorite now tell me why we have to do this I will let it You figure it out, why do you need to wash with sodium chloride?

Can anyone tell me now that he is close to breaking up, yes it is layers, it is very obvious that he is a prodigy and I think the people here are very welcoming. which I was worried that maybe they weren't, but no person is anywhere, he is tall, but it seems that Ninh might not be the only genius in the family, his father is now a freelance writer, he originally studied Natural Sciences at Cambridge when I was a kid. I had many different gifts, but I don't think they were given all the opportunities they needed to express themselves in their minds.

Any of the islands' abilities inherited from their parents. Yes, I would say that the curious thing is that his scientific interests are parallel to my age as an age. a child begins to express interest in chemistry at 6 years old it is the same age that I became interested in chemistry ok so it is the same pattern and yet we can guide him in this pattern we just let him be and he chose the same path it is easy For a child in that position to end up frustrated and knowing that situation, I myself don't want to see him frustrated.

I want to see him develop at his own pace in the areas of his interest and become the complete human being he is destined to be. you're from I'm from Davenport Iowa and what's here you go there if you're a three it's five six three if you're a seven his 309 prodigious sages can peak he's a walking encyclopedia having memorized over 12,000 books when he was able to Become England , has been this way since 827 under AG Burton and Ethel Stand defeated Brennan Byrne United's Danes in the country in 933, but has suffered brain damage since birth. Kim is a genius who needs 24 hour care and at 82 her father Fran has his own illnesses to deal with having recently had melanoma removed from his face I have to brush my teeth and it's all physical we shower together and I have to dressing him after he dressed himself I just have to repair everything we do together and We have to take measures for when Fran is no longer here.

The last place I would want to go is to a group home or an institution. My other son about six months ago came to me and told me that he would like to take his wife and move into our house where Kim's book entourage says that he would take care of Kim just like I do and that we are going to have four more fantastic days together, but for now Fran is constantly at the side of his genius salesman, the pathologist says that everything is great. I just can't use the bandage until next Monday. I have to go back and watch it again, but it's all good, no cancer, okay, yeah dad, before becoming the inspiration for Rain Man, Kim had been a recluse unable to even make eye contact with another person, but.

Dustin Hoffman told Fran to share it with the world since he did exactly that. We have flown one million nine hundred and ninety-two thousand air miles in 19 years. We spoke to over 4.4 million people in small groups. It has become something that never was. Kim and Fran are supposed to be on tour 20 days a month today. They have been invited to the University of Wisconsin to meet an audience of more than 300 people, all eager to witness Kim's genius. Peek, we'll start with an easy con, what day of the week was March 20, 1979, a Tuesday, okay, and I was born on March 12, 1933, what a Sunday, sometimes people look at the wise, whether it's a musician or an artist, or where the memory giant exhibits them for Speak and you know, can you stump the genius kind of thing?

And that's not what it's about, it helps them, it's a form of therapy, if you like, part of that is what we call talent training and that's really what The Savant Syndrome is a Statistics: Find the Talent is all about. and runs with it, although Kim can't hold a simple conversation, she now interacts with millions of people at events like this, all non-profit, What was the best movie of 1961? Westside, sorry. flies when Stein wrote the score in 1957 thanks to the wind Shakespeare wrote Rome in 1595 but Leonard Bernstein wrote the score in 1957 I am very familiar with the literature of the last one hundred and twenty-five years and there has never been a chemical peak and there is no I don't know if there will be another What are you thinking?

That song is called The Birch Tree Vicenza Italia and ten-year-old musician Errol Lonnie has been invited to make his European debut at a prestigious jazz festival, butfeel the pressure. What a great concert, okay, now what matters is putting a smile on your face and I'm not nervous. Smile, this is a real jazz festival with big names and he's playing alongside well-known people, so he's very, very nervous, we just hope he does it. revive before the concert later that night, an audience of jazz fans gathers to watch jazz and air Parnas jean-claude Jones you will know that it is better that we practice with the metronome we are more together we leave it together certain affinity the present re re l Jean-claude Jones, the father, Gabi, is behind the scenes throughout this time.

Ariel is a fantastic success. I never thought a little kid like him could do something like that. A genius more than a genius. I think he surprised me too much, how do you say it in English? but I got goosebumps in my garden, what is the professional like? When Chopra simply stops being a child, then the question becomes whether he has the means to be a genuine artist or not, and if he doesn't, then he can be one. A very happy fan did not go for music, he will probably have to follow a career and something else that he says will have to be his decision in the end it will not be ours.
