After missing for nearly 12 years, a couple from Russia, Ilya Zhirnov, 25, and his girlfriend Kira Cherkasova, 22, were found inside a car in the river Volga in central Russia in 2017.

The couple disappeared in December, 2005, after Ilya borrowed his father’s car to pick up Kira from work.

At the time, an extensive search had been conducted, but due to lack of evidence, the case was eventually closed and the families were left without answers. But they never lost hope that ilya and Kira would be found.

The car, along with the bodies of the couple, was accidentally found by a local diving enthusiast. He was exploring the waters near a local beach when he stumbled upon the car, Daily Mail reported at the time. The man immediately alerted the authorities.

The car was winched out of the river the following day.

Ilya and Kira were identified by their personal documents, such as IDs that were inside the vehicle.

Authorities believe that the accident occurred due to the icy road, but the investigation is ongoing. Their theory is that the couple lost control of the car which ended in the river.

We are so very sorry for the tragic loss of two young people. May they rest in peace.

For a number of people, preparing a meal is just a chore they do for the sake of keeping themselves and their family fed. For others, cooking represents a whole new world, one where they can play with various ingredients, elevate flavors, and prepare stunning meals, almost restaurant like.

If you belong to the latter, this article is for you.

Mashed potatoes have always served as a side dish that adds richness to the main meal. This dish, which is rather easy to make, can also be elevated to a level that would leave your family members and guests stunned, wanting for more.

Apparently, TikTok user Jourdyn, or @jeauxp, has shared a trick about preparing the most delicious mashed potatoes there are, and people love it so much that it has gone viral.

The trick is so simple that you may wonder how you never thought of it yourself; use chicken stock instead of water to boil your potatoes. Also, leave the skin on as it would add a rusting texture that is hard to resist.

What’s most, inspired by the TikTok video, other users tried more unconventional ways of preparing their mashed potatoes, such as adding a sour cream and chives.

Now if you are bold enough to try different preparations, here are some more suggestions.

When cooking, use oils infused with herbs, garlic, or chili peppers. Simply slightly heat the oil and add all of your favorite flavorings, then let it sit overnight. Before using, strain it and add it to your dishes. You can also infuse vinegar with citrus peels or berries fro richer flavor.

Before cooking meat, brine it in a solution of salt, sugar, and water. This will add additional flavor to the poultry or pork.

Just like with the mashed potatoes, you can also cook different grains, such as rice and quinoa, in chicken, beef, or vegetable stock.

If you are a fan of garlic, use it with various dishes, but roast it first in order to extract a nice caramelized flavor.

It’s truly stunning how a simple variation of ingredients can add a touch to the dishes as we know them.

Math question for kids sparks heated debate as people fail to agree on the right answer

By

We have to agree that mathematics isn’t most people’s favorite school subject. It’s hard, sometimes confusing, and rather challenging, especially concepts like algebra, trigonometry, and calculus.

However, one would assume that any grown-up should be able to provide the right answer to a question expected kids to solve.

Well, this seems to be far from the obvious as a seemingly simple math question posted by a Reddit user caused quite a stir on the social media as people fail to agree what the correct answer might be.

The user who posted the challenging question explained that it made him scratch his head trying to figure out which of the four time options given was closest to midnight.

The answers given were as follows:

  • A) 11.55am
  • B) 12.06am
  • C) 11.50am
  • D) 12.03am

“What do you think?” the poster wrote along with the math problem.

Reddit

As expected, this prompted various answers and interpretations.

Plenty of netizens were convinced that the correct answer is A, and there were those who believed choosing that answer didn’t make any sense, wondering how did they come to that conclusion, with a person writing, “Lmao how are y’all saying A that’s almost midday.”

Those opting for A, however, were quick to provide various explanations, with someone writing “IT SAYS CLOSEST [TO] MIDNIGHT…NOT AFTER MIDNIGHT. A.”

“The question structure is ‘to’ midnight not ‘from’ midnight. Wouldn’t A be correct since time doesn’t go backward?” a confused user asked.

Someone else agreed that the way the question was worded was what caused confusion. “The ‘trick’ intended by the thread starter seems to rely on deliberate ambiguity in language. If I tell four friends ‘get here as close to midnight as you can,’ the one arriving at 11:55am doesn’t win,” someone wrote.

Reddit

A lot of people stick with D as the correct answer, though. Their reasoning? “Assuming it’s a trick question about semantics, Closest time ‘to’ midnight is 11:55 AM. At 12:03, it’s already past midnight. Closest time ‘from’ midnight would be 12:03 AM,” someone commented. “12:03 is only 3 minutes away from midnight, making it the closest of the given times. I’ve never heard anyone use the phrase “close to” to mean anything other than this interpretation,” another used added.

What about you? Is this question giving you a headache too?

Three members of the gospel group The Nelons, Kelly Nelon Clark, her husband, Jason Clark, and their daughter Amber Kistler were killed in a tragic airplane crash that claimed the lives of seven people.

The devastating news was confirmed by Kelly’s other daughter and fourth member of the Georgia-based family group, Autumn Nelon Streetman.

“As many of you have heard by now, my father and mother, Jason and Kelly Nelon Clark, along with my sister, Amber, and brother-in-law, Nathan, as well as our dear friends Melodi Hodges, Larry, and Melissa Haynie, were involved in a tragic plane crash on Friday,” Autumn wrote.

“Thank you for the prayers that have been extended already to me, my husband, Jamie, and our soon-to-be-born baby boy, as well as Jason’s parents, Dan and Linda Clark. We appreciate your continued prayers, love, and support as we navigate the coming days,” she concluded her post.

According to a statement by Gaither Music Group, as reported by AP News, the members of the group, along with Nelon Kistler’s husband, Nathan Kistler, family friend Melodi Hodges, and pilot Larry Haynie and his wife Melissa Haynie, were traveling to join the Gaither Homecoming Cruise to Alaska when the plane crashed. None of the passengers survived.

The Nelons were inducted into the Gospel Music Association (GMA) Hall of Fame in 2016 and were winners of 10 Gospel Music Association’s Dove Awards. They have also earned multiple song of the year and album of the year awards, as per their official website, including the 2021 GMA Dove Award for Bluegrass/Country/Roots Recorded Song of the Year for their song If God Pulled Back The Curtain.

Before they took what turned out to be a fatal flight, the The Nelons posted a video on Instagram. At the beginning of it, Jason announced, “Homecoming Alaskan Cruise, we just landed in Nebraska” and went on to introduce their fans to the pilot and the rest of the crew.

Tributes came pouring in, and their final video was filled with comments of people left in disbelief because of the tragic loss.  

“Little did they know none of them would survive this. Our plans are nothing compared to God’s,” one person commented. “This is like a final farewell,” another added. “Wow! No words…😢 praying for their families and friends. I am sure this video will be one their families keep close to their hearts,” a third person wrote.

As of now, the National Transportation Safety Board is investigating the accident, which involved a single engine turboprop Pilatus PC-12/47E, according to CNN. “The aircraft is in a remote location and once they gain access, they will begin documenting the scene, examining the aircraft,” NTSB spokesperson Keith Holloway said in a statement Saturday. “The aircraft will then be recovered and taken to a secure facility for further evaluation.”

We are so very sorry for this devastating loss. May they rest in peace.

Queen Camilla employs a shrewd tactic whenever Prince William and Kate Middleton ‘disrespect’ King Charles

By

Over the years, the British Royal Family has gone through a number of scandals. One of them, perhaps the biggest one, was then-prince Charles’ relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles while he was still married to late Princess Diana.

Their affair shocked the country, but not necessarily Lady Di who was aware that her husband had feelings for his former love. Speaking of the troubles in her marriage and the reasons for its failure, Diana told Martin Bashir during a televised interview, “Well, there were three of us in this marriage, so it was a bit crowded.”

As expected, Camilla became one of the most hated people in Britain and the public condemned her relationship with Charles, blaming her for wrecking the heir’s marriage.

But thing was certain, that the love between Charles and Camilla was genuine. In fact, Charles was in love with Camilla when he married Diana, but it was already too late for him to call off the wedding.

“Charles was not convinced he was doing the right thing in marrying Diana but there was no way out and, bolstered by the hope that things would be different once they were married, he put a brave face on it,” she wrote, as reported by the Mirror.

Prince William and Prince Harry weren’t happy with their father’s relationship with the “other woman,” but over time, they got along with Camilla, who never really tried to take the role of their mother.

In his book Spare, Harry described meeting Camilla for the first time as “awkward and tense” and added that his brother had “long harbored suspicions about the Other Woman.”

However, Camilla’s first ever meeting with William was said to had gone nicely. At the time, he was attending Eton and was spending the weekend back home. Camilla was aware William was coming to York House in London and asked then-prince Charles to leave before his arrival, but Charles said it was “ridiculous.” Instead, he informed William of Camilla’s presence.

Camilla and William spent around 30 minutes together, and after the successful meeting, she described him as “friendly.”

Today, Camilla is a much loved member of the Firm. People’s affection towards her rose even further after King Charles’ cancer diagnosis when she, alongside William, stepped in and engaged in plenty of royal engagements, representing the Crown at the best of her abilities.

Her support for Charles is immense, and that’s something the public appreciates.

What’s most, she makes sure Charles is highly respected by each member of the Royal Family, including William and Kate, whom she’s very close with.

She’s not described as strict, but she does make sure everyone is well aware of the royal hierarchy. According to author Robert Jobson, Camilla sometimes applies tactics to remind William and Kate not to “disrespect” the King. In his book Catherine, The Princess of Wales: The Biography, he wrote that the Prince and Princess of Wales asked to join King Charles and Queen Camilla’s security convoy from Windsor Castle, but they were late and left Charles and Camilla waiting, which Camilla didn’t like.

“When Charles was kept waiting several minutes for the couple, Camilla insisted they go without them. As William and Catherine emerged, all they could see were the blue flashing lights of the motorbikes disappearing in the distance,” Jobson wrote in Catherine, The Princess of Wales: The Biography.

Despite situations like this, it is apparent that Camilla and William’s relationship is a quality one, reflecting mutual respect and shared commitment to the Crown.

Methods to relieve itching from mosquito bites

When the warm months are around the corner, most people feel relieved because they can finally get rid of the heavy clothing and the cold. However, with the warm weather come the mosquitoes that can make any experience out in the nature an unpleasant one.

When experiencing a mosquito bite, it leads to itching and redness and swelling around the area. This is a result of the mosquito saliva triggered by histamine. Sadly, at some people, the mosquito bites cause more severe reactions, such as swelling and itching that lasts for weeks. This is known as “skeeter syndrome.”

Luckily, there are certain cures and methods that help reduce the itching and swelling. One of them, probably the most famous one that has been around for many years, is the method knows as a “hot spoon.”

Pexels

This method consists of placing a spoon in hot water or hot coffee and then pressing the back of it directly on the bite.

This works because the bite is neutralized by the heat from the spoon. One needs to make sure the spoon is not extremely hot because it can cause slight skin burns.

Of course, this method has been passed down from generation to generation, and the most modern methods, including Therapik, Bite Away, and Bite Helper work on the same principle, by applying heat to the bite.

Pexels

Other tricks used to relieve mosquito bites are applying aloe vera to the affected area, dabbing a small amount of honey on it, or mixing baking soda with water and applying the paste on the bite.

Have you ever tried any of these methods?

No one came to assist the elderly man stranded by the highway, and it took me some time to grasp the reason

Sophia felt like her picture-perfect life burst like a bubble when her husband left her and their daughter Grace.

Although Grace pretended that everything was fine, she missed her dad dearly. All of a sudden, her vibrant personality was replaced with a subdued demeanor. She became quiet and rather sad, and there was not much Sophia could do about it because she was hurt herself and finding the strength to move on seemed to be harder that she has ever anticipated.

One day, Sophia suggested that she and Grace pay a visit to the girl’s grandmother who lived miles away. The trip was supposed to be a gateway from the reality both of them were forced to face.

Grace was hesitant and wasn’t willing to travel, but her mom insisted, and the girl finally agreed.

Pexels

The trip was a long one, and the car was filled with awkward silence. As Grace kept her face stuck to the glass of the car’s door, she complained about the ride which seemed longer than usual.

In an attempt to cheer her a bit, Sophia played Grace’s favorite song. The girl did smile, but she was too sad to sing.

As the two drove, Grace yelled. She spotted a man in the middle of the highway holding a sign. The sign had the word “Help” written on it. She asked her mother to stop and see what was wrong with the stranger who seemed desperate for aid.

Pexels

The man looked worn out, his clothes were torn and grimy. As he tried to approach them, Sophia’s heart started racing. Without giving it a second thought, she started the engine and continued driving.

Grace was mad. She insisted her mom stop again and help the hopeless man, but Sophia refused. Instead, she drove as fast as she could and then pulled over at a gas station because she was desperate for some break from the long drive. She asked Grace to get out of the vehicle, but she was too upset to move and insisted to wait for her mother inside.

Sophia got herself a cup of coffee and bought Grace a bar of chocolate, but when she returned to the car, Grace was nowhere to be seen.

As she started looking around, Sophia became more and more worried. She started yelling Grace’s name from the top of her lungs and asked some of the people there if they had seen a girl with dark hair, but no one had.

Pexels

Sophia then entered her car and drove back and forth. Her heart was racing and she prayed her girl wasn’t hurt.

At that moment, she spotted Grace walking down the highway. The girl was scared and apologized for worrying her mother, but she simply couldn’t let that strangely looking man with the sign all alone. She begged her mom to get to him and see what was wrong.

Sophia realized that helping that man meant a lot for Grace, so no matter how scared she felt, she decided to try and trace him down. Not surprisingly, he was standing at the same spot.

They stopped the car and approached him. Not only he was in need of some food and water, but he was also hurt.

Pexels

The man had only one demand, to be taken to the adjacent town.

It turned out that he ended up on the highway after a taxi driver robbed him and took his wallet and his phone, so he wasn’t able to ask for help as no one would stop and offer him a lift or a phone call.

When the man gave Sophia the address where he was supposed to go, she was puzzled. It was the address of a huge company.

The moment they finally arrived there, the security guard who was at the door of the massive building ran towards the man. With a smile on his face he said they had been searching for him for a couple of days and were very worried for his safety, but was glad he was finally there.

Pexels

Sophia didn’t know if that man was the owner of the company or simply an important employee, she only knew that if it wasn’t for her daughter’s king heart, he wouldn’t be able to get home, at least not in the days to come.

That day, Sophia learned a valuable lesson, that the kindness we offer to those in need is what makes this world go round. That incredible experience strengthened the bond between her and Grace and they started looking at life with brand new eyes.

Khyree Jackson, Minnesota Vikings draft pick, died in a tragic car crash at the age of 24. As reported by the Daily Mail, the young star was killed along with former high school teammates Anthony Lytton Jr., 24, and Isaiah Hazel, 23. 

As reported by the Maryland police, Jackson and Hazel were pronounced dead at the scene while Lytton was transported to a hospital where he succumbed to the injuries.

Hours before losing his life, Jackson posted a 10-slide Instagram display of photos from his life.

The Vikings organization paid their tributes in a statement that read: “We are devastated by the news of Khyree Jackson’s death following an overnight car accident. Our thoughts are with Khyree’s family, friends, teammates and coaches, as well as all the victims of this tragic accident.”

Head coach Kevin O’Connell took to the social media to share his heartbreak over the loss of Jackson. “I am absolutely crushed by this news,” he wrote. “Khyree brought a contagious energy to our facility and our team. His confidence and engaging personality immediately drew his teammates to him.

“In our short time together, it was evident Khyree was going to develop into a tremendous professional football player, but what was more impressive was his desire to become the best person he could be for his family and those around him.

“I am at a loss for words. My heart goes out to Khyree’s family, friends, teammates and coaches,” he ended the post.

As per TMZ, Jackson began his college career at the University of Alabama before transferring to the University of Oregon for his final season. During his last year, he accumulated 34 tackles, two sacks, and three interceptions.

The fatal accident that claimed the lives of Jackson and his friends happened after a female driver, Cori Clingman, who was driving a silver Infinity, tried to change lanes at Route 4 at a swift speed, Daily Mail reports. 

Her action led her vehicle to crash into the Dodge Charger operated by Jackson. At that moment, the Dodge collided with another vehicle and veered off the road, hitting multiple tree stops.

Clingman and the two passenger riding with her, as well as the person operating the Chevrolet Jackson hit, were unharmed.

We are so very sorry for the loss of the young lives. May they rest in peace.
