The most famous America’s a cappella group Pentatonix are here with another out-of-this-world performance of a classic song. The group has been part of the music scene ever since they won the third season of the NBC’s The Sing-Off. During the show that took place in 2011, Pentatonix showed the country something the audience had never seen before. Amazingly talented and skilled young people whose music touched the hearts of many. 

This time, however, they are treating the world with a rendition of a song many tried singing before, but besides the original performance by Simon & Garfunkel, this group’s presentation of “The Sound of Silence” is the best so far. If you know how this exceptional piece of music sounds sang by two incredible voices, now imagine how powerful would it sound with five vocals that blend together just perfectly.

What makes this group so special are the members’ incredible skills of combining beatboxing, riffing, percussion, and basslines into the melody and still sound as they have real voices. 

Typical for this group are their renditions of Christmas classics. Every holiday season, a great number of people are eagerly waiting to hear which classic they are performing. Whatever they choose, they make it extraordinary and enchantingly beautiful to listen to. 

This time, we get to listen one of the greatest performances of “The Sound of Silence” and this definitely doesn’t compare to anything you’ve heard so far.

Get ready to experience different form of amazing music once you hear Scott’s deep baritone belt out “Hello darkness my old friend…” The rest of the group members join in and create magic. The powerful vocal of the youngest member, Mitch Grassi, really stands out and gives certain sweetness to the melancholy tune. 

The voice of the newest addition to the group, vocalist Matt Sallee, only adds to the powerful performance.

Kirstin’s mezzo-soprano gives balance to the masculine baritone, bass, and tenor.

Music is inseparable part of our lives. Whenever we feel down, we seek comfort in our favorite tune and lyrics that trigger lots of emotions. The same thing happens when we are pleased and happy. We often tend to celebrate our achievements rocking some crazy dance moves while our music is on.  

 

The following video is definitely going to cheer you up. Mama C, as the family calls their granny, is a cool elderly lady who just knows how to have fun while working around the house. No chore is ever hard for this loving woman to handle as long as she has her music on. While she’s at the kitchen, preparing some mouth-watering dish for her family, Vanilla Ice’s smash hit “Ice Ice Baby” is on, and she can’t help but dance along the rhythm. She breaks out some serious moves, sliding and boogieing around the place, without breaking a sweat. Mama C didn’t stop dancing even when she had to stir the pot. 

She doesn’t really care if they film her, because she’s confident in what she has to show. At one moment she invites her grandson to join her in, but he’s way too shy to get in front of the camera. Or, maybe he knows he can’t keep up with his granny’s dancing talent. Well, this lady wouldn’t mind if she gets a no from the boy because her little black dog is there to be her dancing partner. At least this cute pup is happy to be joining Mama C. 

This fierce lady knows how to make the most of life. It’s amazing how she finds beauty in everyday things, like cooking lunch. No grumpy faces, no bad mood. She does look like the most positive person I’ve ever seen. Take a look at Mama C’s dancing routine, you may even pick up some moves yourself.

Seattle woman dies from rare amoeba after using neti pot

Back in 2018, a woman from Seattle who was thought to have a brain tumor was admitted to hospital. The doctors believed it was for the best if she undergoes a surgery. However, during the operation, the medical staff realized they were actually removing dead brain tissue. 

What caused this condition, which later led to the 69-year-old woman’s passing, left doctors overwhelmed. They are now warning others to take extra precautions. 

They are convinced how the woman had been infected by a deadly amoeba that lives in warm soil and water and gradually kills brain cells. If you wonder how she contracted it, the answer is through her neti pot. It was later reported how she used it to help it with her sinuses for more than a year. The type of water she used to fill the neti pot, which was likely tap water, led to her contracting the dangerous amoeba.

Although this is something very rare, it does happens, like in this woman’s case. 

Take a look at the video below and be very cautious when using a  neti pot.

Rottweiler refuses to take his meds so he plays dead to get out of it

Little kids throwing tantrums for no apparent reason and refusing to take their medications when they are sick is something we stumble upon more often than we would like to. Now imagine having to cope with a pup when it comes to handling a similar situation. 

Brutus is a sweet dog who unfortunately has to take lots of meds because of his condition. He suffers from arthritis and without the pills the doctors prescribed him he would be in more pain. The thing is that he simply hates them and his owner has hard time making him swallow all those pills.

Brutus’ owner has tried everything he could think of to get the puppy take his medicines. The first thing that came to his mind was to reward him for being a good boy but most of the time it’s all in vain. 

“Bud, every time you take your meds we go outside and play,”

the owner would coax the dog into consuming the tiny discs.

Even if the dog’s owner somehow manages to make Brutus open his mouth, the hardest part is to make him swallow the pills he would otherwise just keep on his tongue trying to spit them.

Brutus, however, isn’t only sweet and adorable, but very smart too. He had found an incredible way of getting out of this tricky situation. How, you ask? Using his amazing acting skills, and playing dead. 

“He just puts them in his mouth and he won’t eat them,” Brutus’s owner explained into the camera. “If I put it in a piece of food, he’ll chew it up and spit it out – he knows. I’ve never seen him do this, though.”

This is yet another of his tactics. 

“He’ll stick them in between his teeth and then kind of tilt his head back,” the owner shared. “Most of the time he’ll just eventually swallow them on accident.”

His owner knows how much Brutus hates the pills, but he’s also aware how he has to take them if he doesn’t want his condition to worsen. When he was just a pup, Brutus was taken from the breeder where he suffered an injury. This left him unable to walk, but his life turned for the better after he met his current owner. 

According to USA Today, his new family did everything in their power to ease Brutus’ life. They even raised the money for a corrective surgery on his paws which enabled him to walk again. Besides his struggles and unwillingness to swallow all those pills, he is one really happy dog.

Brutus’ life and the ordeal he had to go through serve as an example and an inspiration that we should never ever quit trying. He went a long way. Way to go pup.

Nothing ever beats father-daughter relationship. Dads would always go an extra mile for their little princesses they love to the moon and back, and the girls would always look to their fathers for guidance. 

Drew is a part of the military and a loving father of adorable Pia. When he was told he was going to be deployed and away from home for long eight months, he knew his sweet daughter would miss him a lot, and that made him sad. So, this amazing father came up with an awesome idea. He made for Pia a teddy bear with a special voice recording inside. He knew the toy would come as comfort in the days to come. Drew asked his wife to give their daughter the gift one month after he leaves home. 

YouTube

When the time for the present to be handed to Pia came, her mom was overly excited and couldn’t wait for her daughter’s reaction. When she saw the bear, Pia felt really happy, but the real surprise was revealed once she got to press the bear’s paw. Out of the blue, this sweet little girl could hear her father’s voice saying, “Hi, P. I love you. I’ll see you soon.” She started screaming “Daddy! Daddy!” and we all agree that her reaction is the sweetest ever. 

YouTube

Drew and his wife Kelly are expecting another baby girl. She is due to give birth four months prior her husband’s arrival home. It’s sad he would miss the bundle of joy’s birth, but we are certain the baby girl would be lucky to have a loving father like Drew. However, until that moment comes, Pia is his most important girl in the whole world. 

Take a look at the moment Pia listens to her father saying “I love you” and her reaction to that.

Daddy confronts his daughter about the 4 missing cupcakes in the kitchen. Her defense is hysterical.

If you offer a toddler a healthy snack like broccoli, you will probably get a big no, no for an answer. But if you opt to treat them with some cupcakes, ice-cream, or candy, they are going to love you to the moon and back. Many times, telling your young child how sweets are not really the best choice, or how they are not allowed to have any before dinner, they will certainly not agree with what you are saying. 

 

This sweet girl’s father, Macario Aegeus, noticed how some of the cupcakes were missing. He wondered who could the “thief” be before he decided to confront his little girl. The “interrogation” soon turned into one of the sweetest father-daughter bonding activities we’ve ever seen. Oh, this is definitely too sweet to handle. 

 

The father asks his sweet daughter whether she is aware how there is a cupcake thief in the house. The sweet girl doesn’t even try to defend herself and readily admits taking four of them. What follows is both cute and hilarious. The father decides to “punish” the thief with some jail time, but she doesn’t like the idea and starts running. He starts chasing her and the two pretend to be a cop and a robber. A game we played a lot when we were young. One of the best things is when daddy speaks on the radio, giving a cute description of the suspect. 

 

These father and daughter really know how to have fun. Plus, they made our day too so we are glad he decided to put the whole thing on tape. It would be awesome when they watch this a couple of years later when she will be all grown up and “old” for any kid’s games. 

 

Take a look at the amazing time these two have. Isn’t he the best dad ever?

There is something in their physical stature and elegant movements that makes horses appealing to the human kind. For me personally, they stand for freedom and beauty, and I am certain many will agree how the relation between people and horses is pretty much like the one we have we dogs. Horses stood by man’s side since the beginning of time, and are one of God’s most beautiful creations. 

However, there are some horses that really stand out from the rest. Frederik the Great is a Friesian Stallion whose long, illustrious locks and his toned body make him one of the most handsome horses in the world. This beauty even has a Facebook page dedicated to him and around 26,000 followers who admire his looks every day.
