King Charles was forced to sit apart from Royal Family at Easter service for heartbreaking reason

To the delight of the people of Britain, King Charles made a public appearance at St. George’s Chapel this weekend for the traditional Easter service.

Before they entered the chapel, King Charles and Queen Camilla took their time to greet the gathered crowd and shake hands with some of them.

This was the monarch’s first public appearance since his cancer diagnosis some two months ago. So far, what is made known to the public is that King Charles is receiving weekly treatments in London, but not much is known of the form of cancer he’s battling or the stage the disease is in. However, seeing him in public and among his people is definitely a positive sign that gives many hope that everything would turn out for the best for him.

With the fuss surrounding Kate Middleton following her surgery and all the rumors and speculations that arouse regarding her health and her whereabouts which were finally put a stop to after her public video in which she revealed she was diagnosed with a form of cancer, Charles’ health what somewhat flown under the radar.

The Palace stated that he spends his time between treatments at the royal estate in Sandringham.

This past weekend, the King appeared alongside fellow Royal Family members and one of the biggest talking points was arguably the seating arrangement.

Namely, Charles was seated apart from the rest of the royals once within the chapel and it had nothing to do with any royal traditions.

But this wasn’t the only change people noticed. The Royal Family’s Easter service was a significantly scaled back affair this year with many of the members missing, including Kate, William, and their three children.

Charles and Camilla didn’t arrive in a joint walk with the rest of the royals as per tradition, but their arrived by car. Further, the traditional lunch hosted by the King after the service was not part of the schedule.

It has been reported that the sad reason the King was seated alone was to ensure safety for him amidst his battle with cancer. This was also the reason why the number of royals in attendance was limited as experts advised it as a form of avoiding the risk of infections.

People of Britain were quick to post comments of good wishes for the King under the Instagram post of his visit of St. George’s Chapel.

 “God save the King!” and “In my prayers,” some of the comments read.

There have also been those who raised their concerns for the King’s safety and health as he shook hands with the crowd.

“He should watch or be isolated away from the people so he doesn’t get sick,” one person wrote.

“So should he have gone and shaken hands with loads of strangers…” another pondered.

“Bet he was not meant to do this walkabout and shake hands. His doctors will not be pleased,” a third added.

Red dots on your skin: Causes and what they could mean

By
Monica Pop
-

The reason why red dots appear on the skin can be various, and while some of them go away on their own, some require a suitable treatment.

Some of the most common reasons which lead to the red spots are allergic reactions, acne residual mark, vascular birthmarks, skin spots due to angiomas, protein overproduction, heat rash, insect bites, leaking capillaries, as well as autoimmune conditions.

1. Petechiae and Purpura

These are tiny red dots that appear on the skin due to damaged blood vessels or capillaries. They can be caused by stress, coughing, or certain medications. Although they are usually harmless, they can sometimes indicate underlying platelet disorders.

2. Cherry Angiomas

These small, raised, bright red bumps are a result from an overgrowth of blood vessels and are generally harmless. They usually appear at old age.

3. Heat Rash

Heat rash occurs when sweat becomes trapped in sweat ducts and causes itchy, red dots to appear on the skin.

4. Allergic Reactions

Redness can also occur in case of an allergic reaction to food, substances, medications, or insect stings or bites.

5. Folliculitis

Folliculitis is an inflammation of the hair follicles, usually caused by bacterial or fungal infections resulting in red, pus-filled dots on the skin that can be uncomfortable.

6. Cellulitis

Cellulitis is a bacterial skin infection that causes redness and swelling of the skin. It usually requires medical attention and treatment with antibiotics.

7. Impetigo

Impetigo is a contagious bacterial infection that primarily affects children and is characterized by red sores that open, ooze fluid, and later form a crust.

8. Vasculitis

Vasculitis is a condition associated with autoimmune disorders or infections that involves inflammation of blood vessels.

9. Hemangiomas

Hemangiomas are birthmarks that result from abnormal growth of blood vessels. While they are generally harmless, occasional medical intervention may be necessary.

Home remedies which help the prevention of spreading and getting rid of the red dots include some of the most widely used herbs and plants.

Below are three remedies you can try in case you notice red dots on your skin. Of course, it is always highly recommended to consult with a professional.

  1. The Aloe Vera treatment consists of applying extract of fresh aloe vera gel on the skin twice a day. The gel should be left for 15 to 20 minutes.
  2. Another helpful home remedy is massaging the freshly cleaned skin with coconut oil. For it to give the best results, the oil should be left overnight. Repeat the process until you notice any results.
  3. Dandelion is another plant that helps with the red skin dots. The usage is as follows: Boil dandelion root powder in water and then strain and sip for detoxification.

In case you notice a change in the form of the red dots or patches consult a doctor and make sure to maintain a healthy lifestyle and a healthy diet which includes plenty of fruits, vegetables, juices, and healthy fats.

Woman refuses to meet with man she met on dating app after noticing one small detail in his photo

By
Monica Pop
-

In recent years, dating has been taken to a whole new level. The reason why is the advancement of technology and the emergence of plenty of dating sites most people heavily rely on in the pursuit of true love.

That old fashioned dating when you met someone through a mutual friend or at a bar is barely nonexistent any longer.

However, as much as dating sites offer easy matching with people we have never met in person before, they also hide the dangers of stumbling upon suspicious people that represent themselves in a completely different light than they actually are.

There have been times when people who started talking and bonded with the help of a dating app experience a total shock when they meet in person.

 jjustjocelyn TikTok

A woman named Jocelyn shared her experience with someone she met on the dating site Bumble.

According to Bumble’s description, “women always make the first move,” so when she was matched with a man named Myles whom she found attractive, she decided to message him through the app.

After some time, Jocelyn agreed to give Myles her phone number so that he could text her and arrange the two to meet up for dinner.

 jjustjocelyn TikTok

However, once she received some text messages from him, she knew something was off, and it didn’t have to do with anything he wrote. Namely, she noticed that Myles’ texts were in green, which happens when someone texts an iPhone user with a device that is an Android or such. If he was texting from an iPhone, the message bubbles would be blue. This wouldn’t seem odd at all if she didn’t notice Myles was wearing an Apple watch on the photos he had on the dating app.

According to Apple, “you need an iPhone 6s or later” in order to use an Apple watch, and since Myles had that watch but wasn’t using one, Jocelyn assumed the photos he posted could be of someone else, not Myles’.

In the video below that she posted on TikTok, Jocelyn explained what she found out when she ran an image search on Google.

@jjustjocelyn as if dating wasn’t hard enough already #greenscreenvideo #datingapp #datingfail #catfish #catfishstory #storytime #2022 #couplegoals #fyp #bumble ♬ She Share Story (for Vlog) – 山口夕依

In an update, she said that Myles never responded to her last text.

Some TikTok users suggested that she sends Myles a screenshot of Ron’s Instagram, but since he hadn’t replied to her text, she decided not to do that.

Anyway, she hadn’t heard of Myles again and his Bumble account was deleted.

“We’re so sorry to hear about this! We’ve found the member and permanently removed them,” Bumble replied under Jocelyn’s video.

Waitress finds $3,000 tip from stranger— Then reads his 3 ‘requirements’

By
Monica Pop

It was in October 2012 when the lives of the Specht family were profoundly affected by a tragedy.

Richard Specht, a middle school teacher, asked one of his friends to watch his 22-month-old son Reese. The friend agreed, but sadly, the little one somehow managed to get out of the house and head towards the backyard pond where he drowned. In the midst of grief and inability to accept the reality that their son lost his life, the family lost their house just 24 hours later when hurricane Sandy struck.

This family’s world was crushed into a million pieces, but their friends, family, and neighbors were there to offer help and support.

Facebook/ Cultivate Kindness: The ReesSpecht Life Foundation

Once they managed to stand on their feet again, they tried to pay their friends and relatives back, but they didn’t want the money so the Specht family decided to set up the ReesSpecht Life Foundation whose goal is to make the world a better place by emphasizing the importance of community, respect, and compassion.

The foundation issued hundreds of thousands of cards reading “Pay it Forward” and distributed them around the country in honor of little Reese who tragically lost his life.

The idea behind these cards was for the cardholder do an act of kindness and then pass the card forward creating an unbreakable chain of compassion passed forward.

Facebook/ Cultivate Kindness: The ReesSpecht Life Foundation

Years after the tragic incident, one man decided to show his kindness in a beautiful way and honor the passing of Reese, whom he never knew or met.

While at a restaurant in New York’s Times Square, he decided to leave a generous tip to the waitress. On his bill, which was just $43.50, he tipped $3,000 and wrote down three requests for the waitress.

When she saw the tip, she couldn’t believe her eyes.

The message the man left read:

Thank you for your kindness and humility. My teacher in middle school had such a difficult experience a few years ago, which has sparked me to do this. My only requirements are:

1.) Go to ReesSpechtLife.com and learn!

2.) Don’t let “Pay it forward” end with you.

3.) Since it’s about the idea and not about you, or me, if you decide to share this, don’t use either of our names!

Thank you for being around for all of my shows on and off Broadway. I hope that someday someone gives as much love and happiness into the world as you do.

He requested that he stayed anonymous.

Facebook/ Cultivate Kindness: The ReesSpecht Life Foundation

The waitress was eager to learn more of the foundation and that is how she got into touch with Richard Specht. She felt that he would like to know that even though many years have passed, there was still someone who did something touchingly beautiful in his late son’s honor.

She sent him an email and attached the man’s receipt and his message to her.

“My mouth sat agape as a pictured attached to her reply that showed a restaurant receipt with a $3,000 tip on it. I literally did a double, even triple take,” Richard wrote in a blog post. “In staring at that receipt I never noticed the name and it wasn’t until I read the note did I realize that it was a former student of mine. I immediately recalled who he was and realized that I had him at least ten years ago… To think that someone I had a decade ago would honor my little boy, or even remember his eighth-grade science teacher in such a way, blows me away.”

This story is a beautiful reminder that the kindness we offer is one of the most powerful things that makes this world go round.

Queen Camilla breaks silence on Kate Middleton after cancer diagnosis

By
Monica Pop
-

The cancer diagnosis of Catherine, Princess of Wales came as a huge shock for her and her family, as well as the people of Britain and everyone who adores the royal family.

During the hard times she has been going through and the diagnosis she needed to face, Kate and William tried to protect their three children as much as possible.

Experts believe that the timing Kate chose to post the video in which she opened up of her health state, Friday, 6 pm, wasn’t a coincidence. In fact, the reason was believed to be that their children’s school had closed by that time and they wouldn’t immediately face questions about it from their friends. 

“George is ten now and can’t be shielded from any of this now,” a palace source told the Times. “Once it’s at the school gate and in the school playground, he won’t be able to avoid it.”

According to King Charles’ former butler Grant Harrold, Kate and William chose a different approach for each of the children when they shared the news of her cancer with them. He believes that the couple most likely “sugarcoated” her health issues when they broke the news to Prince Louis.

“I’m sure it was a very difficult and very different conversation between children,” Grant Harrold told the NY Post. “For instance, for Louis, I’m sure the conversation was more sugarcoated than it was with George and Charlotte.”

The former butler continued, “The older children can understand more, so I’d imagine it was a little more frank but undoubtedly staying positive, which is so important.

“That’s why when you now look at the picture of Kate with her three children, it brings a tear to your eye. For any mother to have that conversation is huge and you can imagine Charlotte and George are going to be good supports for her.”

He added that Louis is too young to understand her mom’s condition.

“It’s a tricky one. I’m sure the children will be handling it as any kids would be expected to handle it, but I think their parents are very good at being calm and collected, and I think that will rub off on the children,” he told the NY Post.

During Easter break, the children will spend their time at Anmer Hall at the Sandringham Estate with their parents where they would have fun egg hunting.

As Sandringham is also one of King Charles’ favorite places, it is certain that he and Camilla have spent some time with Kate and William there.

While Charles receives treatments for his cancer in London, it is his dear wife that fulfills most of the royal duties, and it is safe to say that she’s been greatly praised for that.

Speaking of the current role Queen Camilla has taken upon herself, royal expert Angela Levin said Camilla is “holding the royal family up.”

“I mean, to wait till you’re 73 is a long time before you can take the crown. I think obviously, at his age, it’s very difficult, but he’s very determined, and he’s only really just started to be king,” Levin said while appearing on GB News. “Supporting him very much, absolutely by his side, is Queen Camilla, who is going to all the engagements that they would have gone to together on her own.”

“And so that way he will feel it’s still moving, it’s still running, and they can discuss it and talk about it. And I think that’s marvelous. I mean, she is holding the Royal Family up and being strong. If you imagine 30 years ago, people were saying the whole Royal Family would absolutely disintegrate, and she would be of no use.”

Although it is known that Camilla doesn’t want to be under the spotlight, she’s doing an excellent job while meeting with the public.

“To support her husband. She understands him very well because they’ve been together for over 50 years, before they even got married. it’s a long time and they make each other laugh,” Levin added.

Not only Camilla steps in for her husband, but she’s also very supportive of Kate Middleton, especially during the time she was away from the public following her planned abdominal surgery.

The Telegraph’s associate editor, Camilla Tominey, claimed that the queen “has been trying to help [Catherine] through the media storm aspect in all of this.”

Tominey said, “I think before [Catherine] made the announcement because she was having to cope with the fallout of everything that was said about the Mother’s Day photo and everything else, I think Camilla lent some support.”

“Because let’s be honest, [Camilla] knows what it’s like to have a difficult press. She knows what it’s like to shepherd children through a media storm,” she added.

So far, no member of the Firm has spoken about Kate or her cancer, but a few days ago, Queen Camilla “broke” her silence while visiting Shrewsbury, where she met many royal fans at a farmer’s market. While there, two young girls handed Camilla a sign decorated a flower and a heart which read, “Send our love to Kate.”

Camilla posed with the sign, and allegedly told the girls, “I know that Catherine is thrilled by all the kind wishes and support,” as per royal expert Rebecca English.

Woman shares a photo of chicken breast which was ‘spaghettified’

By
Monica Pop
-

Alesia Cooper, a mother from Irving, Texas, shared a photo of some chicken breasts she bought because the moment she started preparing dinner the chicken shred into strands, looking like spaghetti, and she hoped someone could tell her what was wrong.

“I been debating on posting this but since I had to see it so do yall,” she wrote under the photo she posted online on March 21.

“I was cooking my kids dinner a couple of weeks ago and was cleaning my meat like I normally do and when I went back to start cooking it turned into this (SIC).” Cooper explained.

Stating that the meat was bought from the budget supermarket Aldi, Cooper further wrote, “lol I think it’s that fake meat but I’m not sure anyways…I ain’t made chicken off the bone since.”

As expected, the photo was commented on by people who raised their concerns and shared their theories.

“That’s lab grown chicken, it’s a new way they make chicken because of the last few years with the bird flu and resource shortages they didn’t have produce so last year they announced that they found a way to make chicken in a lab and that’s what’s in stores now,” one person wrote.

“Fake i don’t buy it anymore,” another commented.

“It’s not lab-grown meat or 3D printed meat. It comes from real chickens. The problem is when greedy chicken producers force-feed their chickens growth hormones so they grow way too fast,” someone else added.

As reported by Wall Street, the chicken breast look like this, or take a spaghetti like look, when breeders feed chicken chemicals in order to make them grow bigger.

“There is proof that these abnormalities are associated with fast-growing birds,” said Dr. Massimiliano Petracci, an agriculture and food science professor at the University of Bologna in Italy.

Back in the day, it would take chicken to reach 2.5 pounds market weight in 112 days, and in recent years, chickens reach the market weight of 5.03 pounds in average in 47 days.

“If people keep eating more and more chicken, chickens will probably have to get even bigger…We’ll have to increase the proportion of breast meat in each bird, too.” said Dr. Michael Lilburn, a professor at Ohio State University’s Poultry Research Center.

“What people don’t realize is that it’s consumer demand that’s forcing the industry to adjust,” Lilburn said of the increased consumption of various chicken products such as chicken nuggets, wings, and sandwiches.

“It’s a deceivingly small but vocal minority that are raising a lot of legitimate questions. The bulk of the U.S. population still doesn’t care where their food comes from, as long as its cheap,” Liburn added.

We truly need to mind what we consume for the sake of our and our children’s health.

Father refused to walk his daughter down the aisle

By
Monica Pop
-

The complexity of family ties sometimes leads to issues that are hard to handle.

A man named Mark shared his life story on Reddit asking if he was in the wrong for refusing to walk his daughter down the aisle on her special day.

After years of believing that Alice was his daughter, Mark learned that his wife, Clare, cheated on him some 18 years ago and that her then lover, James, was the biological father of Alice. This shattered Mark’s life into a million pieces.

Unable to cope with the thought of his wife’s betrayal, he decided to divorce her. This revelation, however, never changed his feelings towards Alice. She was still his daughter and the person he loved the most. In fact, his entire life revolved around her happiness and her well-being.

Sadly, after learning the truth about her biological father, Alice started resenting Mark for no reason. She somehow blamed him for not revealing the truth to her earlier, although he himself wasn’t aware of it until then.

All of a sudden, Alice wanted to meet her biological father and wanted him to be part of her life, leaving Mark behind. She never took into account all the years of love and attention Mark gave her as a father when she made the decision to cut him off her life.

Mark was devastated. He tried contacting Alice multiple times, but she never cared to pick up the phone, and that one time she did, she told him to stay away from her because she was now living with her mother and her real father.

One day, Mark got a call from the college Alice attended. They were worried for her academic progress. Mark was determined to try to get into contact with his daughter again in order to learn why she was falling behind and offer her some help.

“Don’t call me again or I’ll report you to the cops!” she told him, ready to hung up on him.

“Alice, please wait. I swear I won’t call you again, but this time it’s not about me. It has to do with your academics,” Mark said.

“Oh my god! Are you sick of acting like a daddy? How long can you act like that, seriously?” she answered.

“But honey, I was actually worried about you,” Mark told her.

“Mark, that’s enough!” was Alice’s reply. “If you do this again, or even look for me, you know what the next step will be!”

Did she really call him by his name? When did he stop being her dad? Mark was devastated and decided not to call Alice ever again although his heart ached and he loved her more than anything.

Some years passed by, and out of the blue, Mark received a text message. It was from Alice. He started shaking and was short of breath. He dreamed of this moment for so many years. He honestly believed that she wrote him in order to apologize and he was ready to forget everything and welcome her in his life again. But sadly, that wasn’t was Alice wanted.

“Hi Dad, this is Alice,” she started her text. “I am about to get married soon and I want you to walk me down the aisle.

“I understand our relationship hasn’t always been smooth sailing, but I really need your help. Adam, my fiancé, has been my only support system since my father passed away two years ago.”

Alice explained that the reason why she needed Mark to be there on her wedding day was because her future mother-in-law told her so. In fact, the mother-in-law was coming from a family in which they were all very close with one another, and she wanted her son to marry someone like that, who respected tradition and family values, otherwise, she wouldn’t approve of the wedding.

So, Alice wasn’t the one who wanted Mark there, she just wanted him to save her relationship and her big day.

She then demanded that Mark forgets everything that had happened between them years ago because he was the one to be blamed for their failed relationship.

Mark couldn’t believe that even after all those years, Alice was still unaware that what happened after he and her mother divorced was her fault only. She only cared about her wedding, and that was it.

After giving it some thought, Mark refused to walk Alice down the aisle.

Some of his friends believed he did the wrong thing, but he knew he wasn’t welcome to that wedding, it was just a way for Alice to present a happy family in front of her mother-in-law.

What are your thoughts on this? Do you believe Mark is in the wrong for not walking his daughter down the aisle?

The 2024 prophecies of Nostradamus are just as terrifying as you could expect

By
Monica Pop
-

Even half a millennium after his death, Nostradamus remains history’s most famous astrologer. This French apothecary, physician, and reputed seer, among the rest, is best known for his book Les Prophéties, a collection of 942 poetic quatrains allegedly predicting future events. 

His quatrains have been re-read and re-interpreted for many, many years, as many believe that most of his predictions did come true.

It is said that he predicted the Great Fire of London, Hitler’s rise to power, both World Wars, and the nuclear destruction of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Those interested in his work, which was written in a combination of Greek, Italian, Latin, and Provençal, believe he also predicted the September 11 terrorist attacks and even COVID-19.

Wikimedia

Over the years, it was determined that his predictions were real to a great extent, and sadly, what he wrote about the year 2024 is not bright.

Environmental Disaster

The Frenchman described the year 2024 as a catastrophic for the environment. He predicted a complete disarray and painted a photo of floods and the Earth drying out due to the disastrous ecological imbalances.

A “very great famine through pestiferous wave” could refer to devastating floods that wipe off crops, spread diseases, and cause mass starvation, rather than plain floods.

If these visions are accurate, we may be in for even more disastrous climate events this years than most of us fear.

Conflict between Chinese and Russian Navy

It has been written by many journalists, economists and geopolitical experts, that China’s position in the world would soon change as they would raise as a global power. According to many, if this happens, it may lead to a Cold War between China and the States.

In one of his quatrain which opens with a vision of ‘combat and naval battle’, Nostradamus writes that the ‘Red adversary will become pale with fear / Putting the great Ocean in dread.’

As per many experts, ‘red adversary‘ is a reference to communist China and the rest of the quatrain refers to a confrontation at sea, which might have far-reaching consequences for world peace.

The Nostradamus Royal Tumult

The French astrologer made plenty of predictions about the royals that turned out to be true. Among the rest, he predicted the death of Henry II. In a quatrain, Nostradamus wrote, “the young lion will overcome the older one,” and that he will “pierce his eyes through a golden cage,” and that “two wounds” will ensure a “cruel death.”

Andrew Milligan – WPA Pool/Getty Images

Henry II was pierced into his eye and skull during a joust with one of his young soldiers when the soldier’s lance shattered. He then died from a slow and painful death from sepsis.

The death of Queen Elizabeth II was also predicted by the famous prophet, and he was said to have guessed her exact age at the time of her death.

For the year 2024, Nostradamus refers to someone he calls the “King of the Isles,” who has had a controversial divorce and who is “driven out by force.” He wrote the King would be replaced by “one who will have no mark of a king.”

A new Pope 

“Through the death of the very old Pontiff / A Roman of good age will be elected,” Nostradamus wrote.

Many believe that there indeed could be a change happening considering Pope Francis’ advanced age and health issues in recent times. According to his writing, the incoming pope will ‘weaken his see’ and continue in office for a some time.

AP

One possible interpretation of “weakening” is that the church’s leadership, under the next pope, will lead to a reduction in its influence and integrity.

Living in the year of 2024,we are yet to witness if any of the prophecies of the great Nostradamus would come true.
