Big families are a blessing, and the Radfords from Morecambe, Lancashire, know what it feels like to be part of one better than anyone else.
Believe it or not, over the 30 years that the two are together, Sue 44, and Noel 46, have 21 children, and baby 22 is on the way.
The number is overwhelming and most of you are probably wondering how they manage to raise and take care of so many kids, but the reality is that the family functions just perfectly.
The British Duggars have their own YouTube channel with more than 100k subscribers who follow their everyday life. It was there where they announced the news of baby 22 and many followers were truly surprised as the couple said how they were done having more children after baby 21 was born.
The family is running their famous pie company for 15 years and everyone is helping in the business.
When Sue was pregnant with their 9th child, they thought it was enough children and Noel even had a vasectomy, but shortly after, they changed their minds and next year the family is getting even bigger.
Three of their kids don’t live at home any longer as they have families of their own, so Sue and Noel are also grandparents to four grandchildren.
You already assume that the holidays in the house are busy and marry and involve a lot of presents under the tree.
The family lives in a 10-bedroom house and there’s plenty of space for everyone. There’s also a huge garden where the kids get to run around and have fun.
But, a huge family and a huge house means huge bills too. The family said how the average amount of money they spend on food and meals out each week is around $650.
But no matter the expenses, the Radfords always manage to save up for a nice family holiday. Mom Sue says that getting ready for such trips resembles a “military operation” but she still gets to fit everything in only seven suitcases. Just imagine that the laundry they produce every week is 39 pounds. A lot, don’t you think so?
As everyone loves this family, some people can’t get over the fact that when Sue and Noel had their first baby, she was just 13 years old, and he was 18.
Maybe it wasn’t such an issue back then, but thinking about it makes many of us feel awkward and a bit grossed to be honest.
The video of the pregnancy announcement is reaching one million views. You can take a look at it below.
Kindergartens and daycare centers should be the safest places for the little children, but sadly that’s not always the case. Stories of babies and toddlers left unattended is something we hear of way more often that we should.
The heartbreaking story of 6-month-old Zuri Rose Camara spread around like a wildfire after the owner of the daycare where she got injured refused to take responsibility of the incident.
That day seemed to be like any other as Zuri’s mom Anari Ormond dropped the baby at the J&A Nursery in Newark, New York. However, a couple of hours later Ormond got a call from the daycare center’s owner asking from her to come as soon as she could.
Ormond panicked as she had no idea what to expect. When she arrived at the center, the owner told her how Zuri was hurt because she was left “unattended around a 2-year-old boy.”
“She said in that time period of being unattended the boy ‘bit Zuri 3 times in the stomach,’” Ormond said.
Ormond didn’t want to listen to the bunch of excuses given by the owner and rushed inside to take Zuri.
“[The owner] began a story saying she went upstairs to get Neosporin and fell down the steps while holding my daughter and she was severely bruised,” the frustrated mother reported.
The sight of the little girl who was all covered in bruises and scratches was a horrifying one. Her face and body were swollen and it was obvious she was in pain.
“I was shocked and heartbroken,” Ormond told PEOPLE. “She was just sitting there. She wasn’t laughing or smiling.”
Ormond rushed Zuri to the St. Barnabas Hospital where she was told how the girl suffered a “mild concussion.”
“We went straight to the hospital. They did a CT scan of her head immediately just to make sure there was no head trauma. There was no internal bleeding,” she said.
Zuri was prescribed antibiotics but her bones were still very tiny for an X-ray to show whether she suffered any internal injuries.
“I felt so weak knowing that my baby is so helpless and couldn’t defend herself nor tell me what even happened. I’ve been feeling so defeated. I thought I was doing the best thing for her.”
The worried mother went to the police station to report the incident but the daycare owners didn’t cooperate. They offered many different stories that were away from the real truth.
Being aware of the impacts of the social media, Ormond took to Instagram to spread awareness of the neglect that takes place at centers where children should be taken care of.
Once the story took the attention of the wide public, the New Jersey Department of Children and Families released a statement to ABC7NY, saying:
“Our records do not show an operating license or registration for J&A Nursery in Newark. Please note that Family Child Care Homes are permitted to operate in New Jersey, without a license, if they are caring for five or fewer unrelated children. However, if programs wish to receive federal subsidies they’re required to voluntarily register with DCF and comply with applicable regulations. Providing care for more than five unrelated children requires a childcare center license, and operating without such a license may subject the operator to prosecution.”
Thankfully, Ormond’s efforts to clear the incident paid off as she got a message saying the place was closed and the owner was to appear at court.
The operator of the J&A Nursery, Lisa Muhammad, received citations for nuisances, failure to obtain a certificate of occupancy, failure to obtain a license, and failure to provide adequate doors for an exit. Her “nursery” which consisted of cribs and a playing area in her basement was closed in November.
At the moment, Ormond is doing her best to make criminal charges be filed against Muhammad.
That smoking affects humans’ health a great deal is something every smoker is very well aware of but they still continue to do so.
Despite the anti-smoking campaigns that they see on TV and in newspapers every day, smokers don’t have it easy to break off their addiction.
But a video that emerged recently and was labeled by many as “the best anti-smoking ad ever” left viewers in shock and horror. It shows the lungs of a life-long smoker and they are far away of what healthy and pink lungs look like. Instead, these lungs are completely black and all covered in tar.
The man whose lungs were harvested during the procedure had signed up to be a donor and now that he passed away at the age of 52 someone else was about to receive his lungs.
Unfortunately, they were damaged to the extent that they couldn’t be transplanted.
Doctor Chen Jingyu from the Wuxi People’s Hospital in Juangsu, China, posted the video with the hashtag “jieyan” which means quit smoking.
He also explained that after the donor was declared brain death tests were done which showed the lungs were in good shape. No one expected to see such damaged and inflamed organ whatsoever.
The donor was a heavy smoker who smoked a pack of cigarettes each day for 30 years.
UNILAND shared the doctor’s post which he initially uploaded to AsiaWire with the following caption:
“Many smokers in this country have lungs which look like this. Our team decided to reject these lungs for transplant. If you’re a heavy smoker, your lungs may not be accepted even if you choose to donate them after death. Look at these lungs – do you still have the courage to smoke?”
The number of Chinese people who smoke is roughly one quarter of the population over 15 years old.
However, because the number of people who are in need of lungs is huge, doctors are not in a position to turn down each smoker’s organs.
“We Chinese love smoking. It would be impractical to say that we wouldn’t accept the lungs of all smokers, but there are strict standards,” said Dr. Chen.
“…minor infections in the lungs and relatively clean chest X-rays are also acceptable. If the above conditions are met, we would consider transplanting the lungs,” he claimed.
Below is the shocking video of the blackened lungs. Watch with caution because it involves scenes of surgery.
Lyonswood Investigations & Forensics uploaded a video on their Facebook page recently and it caught the attention of many. Along with it, they asked whether someone could spot the crime caught on the camera at a convenience store.
Many were left in confusion by the skillful thief who tricked the cashier into believing that she gave him less money as a change.
The man, who was in his 50s, went inside the store to buy a pack of cigarette. But his initial plan, however, was to steal from the employee.
As he was waiting for the change, he was pretty anxious and wouldn’t stop fidgeting with his fingers because he was obviously concerned whether his trick will work or not.
After the cashier gave him the bills, he counted them in front of her telling her she made a mistake. She then gave him one more bill and he left the place.
Little did she know that he fooled her. Maybe it will take you a second look to realize what had really happened so in case you didn’t see what this man did look at the video again and see how he turns to the left a bit and puts one of the bills in his pants. But he does that so quickly that it’s unbelievable.
Apparently, this scam is called a short-change scam and it takes a lot of skill to be pulled through. So in case you are working at the register, always pay attention, because you may end up tricked this way.
Take a look at the act in the video below and make sure you share it with your friends.
Birthdays have to be the best part of every child’s life. These special dates mean lots of fun with the friends, birthday cakes, and lots of presents.
Gerald is a young boy who was eager to celebrate his 9th birthday with his classmates. His mom helped him with the invitations and they were soon handed in to every single student from his class, 30 in total.
This sweet boy didn’t have it easy in life as he had to undergo various surgeries to expand his skull when he was younger. Sadly, that had an effect on him and he’s now developmentally challenged, which doesn’t make him less excited to have a birthday party to remember.
However, his classmates don’t understand the challenges he’s dealing with and they are not as accepting as Gerald’s mom hopes them to be. They tend to ignore him and that includes not showing up at his party.
As the family was waiting for the friends to arrive and wish him all the best, none of them came. When Gerald’s mom called some of the parents, they had a bunch of excuses and one mom even said how she wouldn’t let her son be friends with Gerald because he’s too different. Needless to say, this broke the family’s hearts.
The poor boy was hoping to see his friends until the end, but that didn’t happen. Many of his family members came instead, trying to lessen the feeling of disappointment, but that didn’t really help a lot.
Amelia, Gerald’s grandma, was so furious that she wouldn’t just let this incident pass without notice. She thought she should share her grandson’s story on Facebook and raise awareness of how poorly children with certain disabilities are treated by the society.
She asked people to send her grandson best wishes because she didn’t want him to feel less valuable.
When asked how he felt when he realized his friends won’t show up, Gerald only gasped “sad.”
Thankfully, kind people from all over the world answered Amelia’s plea and soon Gerald was showered with so many gift that he couldn’t even count them.
But the best gift of all turned to be the one from the City Counsel. They learned how sweet Gerald loved dogs so they invited him to spend a whole day playing with their K-9.
Gerald was over the moon, he finally had a smile on his sweet face and all these people who stepped in wiped the sadness off his heart.
The parents of a child who has experienced exactly what Gerald had is now throwing a joint party for the two boys. We hope this time a lot of kids will show up.
Every parent wants their kids to turn into good people who will respect others and will become valuable members of their community. Many times, however, no matter how much they try to educate the youngsters to be polite and distinguish right from wrong, parents fail sometimes.
Cierra Forney, mom of 13-year-old Anthony, believed her son would never make fun of his peers, but as it turned out she was wrong.
One day she overheard him how he was laughing at one of his friends only because he was shopping at Goodwill. As it turned out, he though that buying cheaper clothes was humiliating.
Cierra was shocked because she knew she taught him better than that and decided to teach him a lesson he would never forget.
Since he believed that going to Goodwill was a bad idea, Cierra made him do exactly that. So she gave him $20 and told him to buy his clothes for the week from that store.
The best part of the story is that the money was his. He earned them hard and he was now about to spend them at the place he detested.
Cierra then took a photo of Anthony and shared it on Facebook along with the story behind it. People loved the way she handled her son’s bullying and said how she deserved the parent of the year reward.
The photo went viral in the blink of an eye. More than 778k people liked it and 169k took the time to share their thoughts.
This is Cierra’s original post that made many parents praise her for her parenting skills.
“So lately, my 13-year-old son had been acting a little… entitled. Acting like he’s too good to shop at Wal-Mart or making snarky comments about kids at school who shop at the goodwill and quite a few other things. I don’t tolerate that. Today, he took his own 20.00 to the goodwill to buy clothes to wear the entire week to school. Whatever he found is what he would have to wear. He isn’t happy and shed a few tears but I firmly believe in 15 years he will look back and laugh at the day his Mom made him shop at goodwill. I want to teach my kids that money isn’t everything and if you have to degrade other people because of where they shop, then you too will shop there. Side note, I love the goodwill!!”
“Don’t be spoiled, I might just tell them to be thankful for what you have,” Anthony told Fox 5 News, about the lesson he’ll share with his friends.
If we are about to fight against bullying as a society, we have to stand together and keep a close eye on what our children do and how they treat others.

Will there come a time when we finally understand that we have no spare planet and that we are suffocating in our own trash every single day. The global warming is a real issue and things are about to get much worse if we don’t take care of the trash and the waste we are leaving behind that kills many living creatures and contaminates the soil.
We stumble upon photos of animals and fish that die because plastic bottles, straws, and lids end up inside their bodies, and that’s a reality too harsh to bear.
However, we tend to forget one item that litters the Earth more than the rest of the plastic items; the cigarettes butts.
The volunteers at the Ocean Conservancy, that make sure beaches around the country and the world get cleaned, say how during the 32 years of work, they have picked up more than 60 million cigarette butts which is more than the rest of the plastic items combined.
One of the reasons why people dispose cigarette butts on the beaches, the streets, and other public places is because they believe their filters are made out of paper and cotton, which is far from the truth.
These filters are in fact plastic, or cellulose acetate, which takes more than a decade to decompose.
The reality is that cigarette filters don’t really serve the purpose smokers are convinced they do, which is filtering tar and nicotine.
“It’s pretty clear there is no health benefit from filters. They are just a marketing tool. And they make it easier for people to smoke,” Thomas Novotny, a professor of public health at San Diego State University, told NBC News. “It’s also a major contaminant, with all that plastic waste. It seems like a no-brainer to me that we can’t continue to allow this.”
Sadly, not much can be done regarding this type of pollution as the number of smokers is enormous and the production of cigarettes can’t really be controlled.
In the past, there were some ideas that could help the reduction of cigarette butts dumped irresponsibly, including that of a New York legislator who presented the legislation that would allow smokers to return butts to redemption centers for a rebate, but they weren’t accepted.
Thankfully, there are a number of non-profit organizations such as the Cigarette Butt Pollution Project that have their contribution in reducing the pollution by offering assistance to the local governments.
One fact that may change smokers’ irresponsibility regarding flicking butts is that the fiber and the chemicals they contain have been found in 70% of seabirds and 30% of sea turtles.
We humans are greedy and behave like this planet belongs to us only and often forget that our trash is destroying the life of millions of other living creatures, many of which are on the list of endangered species only because we pollute and ruin their habitats.
As around 137,000 cigarette butts are flicked on the ground every second by smoker from all around the world, they are very likely to end up into our gardens or sewers that lead to the local water supply.
The planet is suffocating in cigarette butts and we seem not to care about it a great deal.
If you still don’t understand the severity of the situation just take a look at this fact. Last year, 203 volunteers collected 120,000 cigarette butts in just three hours in Brussels.
If we want to preserve our only home, our planet Earth, the first thing we should do is get rid of the cigarette filters altogether as they serve no purpose at all, they just pollute the planet.
Take a look at the video below and next time you have a cigarette think twice before you flick.
