Wanda Ritter lived on the streets for 16 years and each day during that period of time she hoped that someone would take their time to listen to her life story and help her justice to be served.
As she stood on the street, she carried a suitcase filled with a bunch of documents and checks she never cashed. This woman claimed that the government owed her a huge sum of money, $100,000 to be exact, but no one believed her. What’s most, people considered her a lunatic and no one believed her story.
One day, a woman named Julie Turner, a 56-year-old social worker, heard Wanda’s plea and decided to take a closer look at all those papers she carried with her every single day. To her surprise, Wanda was telling the truth. She wasn’t mentally ill as most passersby believed.
It turned out that Wanda was receiving checks raging from $300 to $900 each months but she never cashed them because she suspected something was amiss. Instead, she returned them, fearing that cashing them would only lead to more complications.
Julie was determined to make things right for Wanda and help her stand on her feet again. Armed with determination, the two managed to navigate the complexities of bureaucracy and correct the oversight.
Eventually, Wanda received her first paycheck for $1,644 from Social Security and it was the first step towards correction of the injustice she suffered over the years.
This story serves as a reminder that we should never lose faith in humanity because among all those people who don’t care, there always be someone as Julie who would take their time to listen and lend a helping hand and make our world better.

Omaha Police Department arrested daycare employee after a 1-year-old child died Monday after being left in a van which belonged to the daycare.
No details of the exact circumstances that led to the child’s death have been revealed. What is known is that the child was left inside the hot van, but not exactly for how long.
According to the National Weather Service, the high temperature in Omaha Monday was 98 degrees Fahrenheit, which is 9 degrees higher than normal. The temperature inside a vehicle reaches even higher. In just a matter of an hour, car temperatures can rise more than 40 degrees even if the weather outside isn’t extremely hot.
The arrested employee is the 62-year-old owner and driver Ryan Williams. He is scheduled to be in court on Wednesday morning to face charges of child abuse by neglect resulting in death.
On the day she passed away, 1-year-old Ra’Miyah Worthington was picked up – along with two of her siblings – by Williams. The children were supposed to be transported to the Kidz of the Future Child Development Center II, where they were expected to spend the day.

When they arrived to the center, Williams took two of the kids out of the van but was allegedly distracted by a crying child and failed to return back to get Ra’miyah out. When he realized she was missing, he went to her, but it was already too late.
The little one was taken to Nebraska Medical Center but was declared dead shortly after.
The daycare was immediately shut down while Omaha police continued the investigation.

“The protection and well-being of children is of the highest priority by the Department of Health and Human Services, and we are working with law enforcement as they investigate this tragic death. In addition, an emergency order has been put in place temporarily closing the facility until further investigations can take place,” a DHHS spokesperson informed 6 News.
“The daycare picks them up in the morning, early in the morning,” the girl’s father, Rianna Worthington, said. “My thing is how can you forget a kid that you yourself put into the vehicle, but you took the other two off? How do you forget one when you take two off the van? How did you forget my baby?”
“The daycare has an app,” Worthington continued in an interview with 6 News WWOT. “They’ll tell you stuff with their kids throughout the day. She was never checked in. Only one of the three we sent was checked in, so put two and two together. You had to have my baby left in this car since this morning.”
Omaha Police Department
Friends of the family of the child started a GoFundMe page to help the parents with the funeral expenses.
In three days, the page has received more than 1,100 donations totaling nearly $35,000.
“Due to the negligence of her daycare provider, her family is forever scarred. To help out with funeral arrangements, household expenses & the care of Ra’Miyah’s 5 other siblings, I am asking anyone who has the means to donate to please do so, even if it’s just $1,” the page says.
The child’s mother protested in front of the daycare facility and was joined by a dozen of people. “My baby did not come home. Her siblings did. She didn’t. How did y’all forget her? Y’all picked all of ’em up, took ’em off the van. How did y’all forget my baby?” she said during the protest.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the grieving family.

We love to treat you with funny jokes every now and then. Today, we stumbled upon one about an elderly couple and we could’t help but share it with you.
This one’s old but gold.
An elderly couple were lying in bed one night.
The husband was falling asleep but the wife was in a romantic mood and wanted to talk.
She said: “You use to hold my hand when we were courting.”
Wearily he reached across, held her hand for a second andtried to get back to sleep.
A few moments later she said: “Then you use to kiss me.”
Mildly irritated, he reached across, gave her a peck on the cheek and settled down to sleep.
Thirty seconds later she said: “Then you use to bite my neck”
Angrily, he threw back the bed clothes and got out of bed.
“Where are you going?” she asked.
“To get my teeth.”

Gavin Best, a professional photographer, was walking with friends on Cavehill in Belfast one New Year’s Eve when he decided to stop and take a photo of the landscape which resembled picture perfect. Although he didn’t have his professional gear with him, the sight was too good to miss, so he still managed to take a breathtaking photo which featured impressive lighting, framing, and composition.
When he got home and took a closer look at the photos, Best noticed something unusual.
Took this photo a few days ago. Just spotted something in the distance and zoomed in. How's that for coincidental timing? pic.twitter.com/tvaIePCErz
Speaking to The Mirror, Best explained that the tiny dot which appeared far away on the cliff he took a photo of was in fact a man who in a total coincidence was jumping into the air, presumably for another photo.
“When I looked at the photos afterwards on my mobile I didn’t spot anything; it was only a few days later when I was looking through the photos on my laptop that I noticed something over there, so I zoomed in,” he said.
Of course, there were those who said how they believed the photo wasn’t a coincidence but some sort of a set-up, which Best denied.
In fact, he “couldn’t even see anyone over there” at the time the picture was clicked.
Twitter | Gav Best
The mysterious character appears close to the edge of the hill, quite some distance from the camera, which made a user ask ask whether the person may have been attempting to ‘jump off the cliff.’
Best, however, assured them that couldn’t be the case because there were other people there as well who could be seen on his other photos from that day.
Besides loving the photo he took, Best also commented on the nature in a separate Tweet and wrote: “That’s on top of Cavehill in Belfast, by the way. It’s quite a yomp up there, but amazing to get a walk like that so close to the city centre.”

Actor and comedian Kevin Hart is telling fans that he’s “sitting [his] ass down” after being involved in a serious accident.
In a witty way, he informed his followers that he now knows what ageing really looks like after he turned 44 recently but tried do some stuff youngsters do and well, failed.
“Ladies and gentleman, the age 40 is real. To all my men, women out there that are 40 years old and above, it’s not a game,” Hart shared in his post. “Respect that age, or that age will make you respect it. It just made me respect it.”
“I’m in a wheelchair. Why? Well, because I tried to jump out there and do some young stuff… and I was told to sit my ass down,” the comedian went on to explain.

The Philadelphia native said how the unfortunate incident resulted after he and Stevan Ridley, a retired NFL running back who won a Super Bowl with the New England Patriots, debated who’s faster and decided to put their running skills to the test.
“This debate was based off who’s faster. Those that know me know, I’m pretty fast,” Hart recalled with some humor. “Stevan said, ‘Kevin, there ain’t no way you’re gonna beat me.’ Stevan is an ex-NFL running back, played for the New England Patriots. Very good guy… [So] we get out there, we go run the 40-yard dash.
“Guys, I blew all my s**t,” Hart revealed, before he went on to give details about his injuries. “I tore my lower abdomen, my abductors are torn, I don’t know what that is but I tore them, I tore those, too. I can’t walk.

“What are we competing for at this age? What am I doing? Why did I even race? Stupidest s**t ever, now I can’t walk,” Hart said. “What was I thinking, son? I’ve got to be the stupidest man alive.”
Hart captioned the video: “44 and sitting my ass down!!!!! I got to be the dumbest man alive!!!!! What the f**k am I doing???? I blew my s**t….I’m done. FML.”
Fellow actors and friends were quick to wish Hart a speedy recovery.
“I tore my adductor off my pelvis during a wrestling match,” Dwayne Johnson commented. “You’ll be fine. You’ll grow a 3rd ball but you’ll be fine.”
Will Smith added, “Getting older is REAL!! Heal Up, Kev!!”
Stevan Ridley commented, “I saw @TomBrady do it at your age so I figured you had the juice too big bro!” alongside an apology which read, “My bad @KevinHart4Real! Heal up and keep making us all laugh!”
Back in 2019, Hart was involved in a car accident which left him with three spinal fractures and severe pain. He was forced to undergo an emergency surgery and spent months in rehabilitation.
We are sending Kevin Hart our love and support.

It should be a common knowledge that sleeping with contact lenses on can cause damage to the eyes.
Sadly, deceived by the “Night and Day” contacts, a man named Chad Groeschen, made a fatal mistake which lead to losing his vision.
Namely, this Cincinnati man decided to sleep with the lenses on for a couple of nights straight. All of a sudden, he started experiencing excruciating pain.
“Halfway through the day my eyes started itching, and I thought it was probably allergies, so I popped them out. The next morning the vision in my left eye started to turn cloudy,” he started his story.
“The kind of contacts I have are called Night and Day’ contacts, and it was my impression you could leave them in for 30 days straight,” Groeschen told USA Today, explaining that he took his lenses out about once a week. “I figured the less I was messing with my eyes, the better.”
What this man wasn’t aware of was that despite he was told he could wear the lenses marketed for “continuous wear” for a week or so straight, there was still a huge risk of contracting infection, which he did.
Upon visiting a specialist, Chad was told he developed a corneal ulcer infected with Pseudomonas bacteria, which doctors believed was caused by his contact lenses. Further, they explained that the contact lens acted like a petri dish, holding the bacteria that then attacked his eye.
In order to restore his sight at his left eye, Chad needed to undergo a corneal transplant.
“Good vision contributes to overall well-being and independence for people of all ages, so it’s important not to cut corners on healthy contact lens wear and care,” says CDC Medical Epidemiologist Jennifer Cope, M.D., M.P.H. “We are finding that many wearers are unclear about how to properly wear and care for contact lenses,” she said.
Reports are that improper handling and wearing of contact lenses puts many in risk of developing eye infections, with one in 500 people being affected by serious eye infections that easily lead to vision loss and complete blindness every year.
Chad isn’t the only person who shares his story in order to raise awareness.
Another young person, 22-year-old Mike Krumholz, could easily go permanently blind because he took a 40 minute nap with daily disposable contacts still in his eyes. After the nap, he took a shower and removed the lenses before going to sleep. The following morning, he woke with an itchy, “gunky” eye that was light sensitive.
Sadly, he was infected by a rare parasite called Acanthamoeba keratitis, which can cause blindness.
“There is no pain out there that I could ever imagine worse than this. Even the strongest medicines do nothing. And the worst part is, I do not know if I will ever get vision back in my eye at only 21 years old,” Krumholz wrote in a post. “I have not been able to step outside for 30+ days and I have my hurricane shutters up to protect me from light.”
Following the parasite treatment, which he was told would last for months, Krumholz could be ready for corneal transplant to remove the part of his eye that was infected.
“I know that I’m never gonna see fully again, but I don’t know how much of my vision I’m gonna get back,” he said.
Some of the tips that can help prevent catching eye infection are as follows:
Wash hands with soap and water and dry them well before touching contact lenses
Take contacts out before sleeping, showering or swimming
Rub and rinse contacts in disinfecting solution each time they remove them
Rub and rinse the case with contact lens solution, dry with a clean tissue and store it upside down with the caps off after each use
Replace contact lens cases at least once every three months
Avoid “topping off” solution in lens case (adding fresh solution to old solution)
Carry a backup pair of glasses in case contact lenses have to be taken out.
Always avoid sleeping with contact lenses on.

How someone looks like and what they eat shouldn’t be anybody’s business. However, many times, people believe they have the right to judge others only because they consider themselves smarter and better looking. This type of behavior is inappropriate and rude, and affects person’s privacy.
Brittany Jacques is a young woman with curves, and she loves the way she looks. Sadly, not everybody feels the same about her appearance thus she’s a victim of fat-shaming.
In the past, she dated boyfriends who eventually dumped her because of her weight, which made her wonder whether she would ever find true love with someone who would love her the way she is.
Brittany even considered losing weight, but that wouldn’t make her love herself more. “I realized that if I did that, I wouldn’t love myself anymore. I would be changing myself for someone else’s perception of beauty,” she explained.
Back in 2020, Brittany met someone special, a man named Matt. “When I met Britt, she was so confident in her own body, I loved that about her. She doesn’t want to change anything, and I would never ask her to.” he says of her.
However, although their love flourished and they even tied the knot and welcomed a baby together, they couldn’t easily get rid of all the mean comments they have been constantly getting from complete strangers.
“I wasn’t sure if I was ever going to find someone who really loved me for who I am but after meeting Matt I couldn’t be happier,” Brittany said.
“I do notice people staring when we walk down the street but most of the comments we have had, have been online,” Matt explained. “People comment on Instagram and suggest that I’m not big enough or man enough for her,” he added.
Sadly, fat-shaming is a form of bullying which has negative effect on those who receive hurtful comments.
The victims of bullying are affected to the extent that it leaves mark in their life years after the attacks take place. It undermines their self-confidence and they may starts seeing themselves as less worth than the rest of the peers.
Some of the consequences of bullying that the person affected experiences are the following: social isolation, sleeping problems, depression, anxiety, psychosomatic symptoms such as headaches and stomachaches, and in a worst case scenario, even suicide.
As published in a 2021 CNN article, fat-shaming is a global concern affecting a huge number of people.
Luckily, people are becoming more and more aware of its negative impacts. There are now many organizations that spread awareness of the importance of acceptance and loving yourself the way you are. One such organization is the Fat Acceptance Movement, so impactful that it has begun addressing these issues in work and healthcare settings.

The Atlas moth isn’t an average-looking moth. What makes this moth special isn’t just its wingspan, which reaches 9.4 inches, but its ability to disguise as one of the greatest predators out there, the snakes.
These moths are endemic to the forests of Asia and were first described by Carl Linnaeus in his 1758 10th edition of Systema Naturae.
Their wing pattern make them unique. The upper side of the wings are reddish brown with a patch of black, white, pink, and purple lines while the tips of both forewings have prominent extensions that resemble the head of a snake.

“It is impossible not to be fascinated by the atlas moth. This is due to its beauty, the detail on its wings, and its sheer size at every stage of its life cycle,” says Luke Brown, manager of the Museum’s butterfly house, and as much as we learn about this unique species the more we agree with this statement.
Even as a caterpillar, the atlas moth is quite impressive. The larvae feed constantly, storing up for the pupal and adult stages. At the same time, it produces silk similar to the product created by domesticated silkworms.
The atlas moth caterpillar feeds eats a lot if left. First, they eat their eggshell and then feed on their favorite leaves from citrus, guava, cinnamon, and Jamaican cherry trees.
Image source: @thegallowboob | Twitter
A number of these moths live in captivity, such as butterfly conservatories, where they are kept at separate feeding areas. “We don’t let them roam free in the exhibition because they eat so much. This allows them to build up fat reserves for the adult to live off. If we didn’t monitor their eating, we would have no plants left in the butterfly house, so we keep them in their own feeding area while they are growing,” Brown said, as per the Natural History Museum.
By resembling a snake, the Atlas moth is widely feared by other animals and insects. It is a disguise which prevents them from being attacked and eaten. While predators realize the moth isn’t actually a snake, they are given the chance to simply fly away.
The reason for their distinctive pattern is the incredible nature of evolution and natural selection. Over the years, moths with snake-like patterns had a higher chance of survival, so they passed those genes to the next generations.
Not only predators, but humans as well can be easily fooled by these moths’ appearance.

Habitat loss and deforestation pose threat to these insects’ existence but there are plenty of conservation efforts which are essential to their survival and their unique adaptation.
What do you think of these moths? Aren’t they stunning?

NFL star Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany spoke of the scary trip to the emergency room with their 8-month-old son Patrick ‘Bronze’ Mahomes III.
According to Brittany, the Kansas City Current co-owner, “Bronze’s” visit of the ER was a traumatizing way of learning that he’s highly allergic to peanuts.
In an update last week, Brittany shared with her followers on social media that those were the “scariest 30min of life.”
Her Instagram story featured a photo of baby “Bronze” drinking from a bottle, along with the text: “We took a very scary and frantic trip to the ER yesterday after finding out this guy is highly highly allergic to peanuts.”
Baby “Bronze,” who was born on November 28, 2022, is the second child of Brittany and the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback. They also share a daughter together, Sterling Sky, who is two and a half years old.

In a follow up post, Brittany shared yet another adorable photo of her son showing him sleeping cuddled up against her with a finger in his mouth.
“Another tooth coming in so he needed some extra snuggles tonight,” the mom captioned the photo.
The couple have been together since their high-school days but only tied the knot last year in Hawaii.
“Bronze” isn’t the first Mahomes in the family who is allergic to peanuts. Speaking to Men’s Health in 2021, Patrick revealed that he’s allergic to most nuts as well as grass but he can play on the natural turf at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.

According to the Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE), more than 33 million Americans live with a food allergy of some kind, while over six million are allergic to peanuts to varying degrees, and this includes one in 13 children.
Peanuts are a common cause of severe allergy attacks. The worst can lead to anaphylaxis, a life-threatening emergency that requires treatment with epinephrine and a trip to the ER.
Common symptoms include itchy mouth, rash, difficulty breathing, swelling, wheezing, and dizziness, a weak pulse, pale or blueish skin and significant swelling of the lips or tongue.
We are glad sweet “Bronze” is safe and sound.

Travel influencer Christine Tran Ferguson shared with her Instagram followers on July 3rd that her 14-month-old son Asher was in the ICU fighting for his life. Prayers started pouring in, but sadly, the little one lost the battle for his life after two years of being hospitalized.
On August 16, Christine opened up about her feelings and the sadness that filled her heart following the tragic loss.
She shared a series of photos of herself, her baby boy, and her husband Ryan Ferguson, and spoke of the immense grief and the hope of being able to overcome the tragedy sometime in the future.
“We should be preparing our trip to Italy next week. Instead, I’m looking at these photos from our first family vacation almost exactly a year ago at 4 months old,” she wrote.
The heartbroken mom added that they were planning on visiting the place where she and her husband tied the knot and then explore Tuscany, a place they have never visited before.
Baby Asher was welcomed into the world on the 9th anniversary of the first ever meeting between his parents. When Christine told the world that her baby was born and announced his name, she explained that Asher meant ‘happy & blessed.’
“I miss these memories, I miss you, I wanted new memories with you. I wish you are here with us every second of every day. It hurts so much, this pain will never go away! I never knew such pain could even exist! Our lives were perfect, normal… until it wasn’t,” Christine continued in her lengthy post on August 16.
She then admitted that she simply couldn’t believe it’s been a month since she last held her baby boy, who was her world, and that it was that long since she smelled him, and kissed him, heard him laughing, and admired his little walk.
Those are the memories she would cherish forever, but she’s heartbroken that she can never make new memories with her sweet Asher ever again.
“I want it all back so badly! I’m forever heartbroken, forever changed. 14 months with you was not long enough. I thought I had forever, we had so many plans for the future and it’s just gone,” she continued – admitting how ‘so hard, incredibly hard’ it is. “I pray and pray we find the strength to carry you with us.”
A months before Asher’s passing, the family celebrated Father’s Day, a day Christine hadn’t celebrated in 15 years until then.
“Since losing my father at 22 I haven’t celebrated Father’s Day & isn’t the easiest day but since having Asher and seeing Ryan become a father it has brought me the biggest joy in life. I just love seeing [his] face light up when he hears you come home. Thank you for being the best daddy to Asher,” she wrote.
The heartbroken mom said that with Asher’s passing, a part of her died.
“I still feel like you’re going to reappear but our home is so quiet and empty without you,” she continued. “Part of me has died with you. I’m so heartbroken, with no idea how to live a life without you. I can’t even put into words how loved you are. I can’t stop seeing your big smile everywhere I go, I hear your laugh and babbles all day and it just breaks my heart you’re physically not here.”
“I prayed for the miracle, for YOU to be the miracle, for you to come back to us. My heart aches for you every second,” she wrote. “You will never be forgotten. We will take you everywhere we go. We love you so much my sweet boy, I pray I get to see you soon.”
Christine hasn’t specified a cause of death.
We are so very sorry for the loss of such a young soul. May he rest in peace.

The Sussexes’ decision to step down from their royal duties and leave Britain behind resulted in a rocky relationship between them and the rest of the royals.
Things turned for the worse following Harry and Meghan’s all-tell interview with Oprah Winfrey during which they made several accusations. Among the rest, they claimed that Kate made Meghan cry on the day of her wedding, something the Duke of Sussex confirmed in his memoir Spare.
What followed was the Netflix documentary in which Harry and Meghan revealed more information about his family and made plenty of accusations. However, while the members of the Firm didn’t respond to Harry’s words, it has been reported that they are not happy about him speaking of them during interviews, especially king Charles, who was said to be angry with his younger son for calling Camilla ‘dangerous’ and accusing her of leaking stories to the press.

When William and Harry met Camilla for the first time, William reportedly described the meeting as “awkward and tense.”
“I think the relationship between them all is warm now but if I’m honest, it wasn’t then. I think they found it hard,” a palace source told royal biographer Penny Junor, author of Prince William: Born to be King. “To be fair to Camilla, she never tried to be mummy but she was the ‘other woman’ and she was there and taking daddy’s time.”
Other experts claimed that initially, Harry wasn’t fond of Camilla either.

And now, Camilla wasn’t spared in Spare either.
Harry revealed in his memoir that he and his brother had pleaded with their father not to marry Camilla.
“Despite Willy and me urging him not to, Pa was going ahead. We pumped his hand, wished him well. No hard feelings,” Harry wrote in Spare. “We recognized that he was finally going to be with the woman he loved, the woman he’d always loved.”
He even wrote that he had asked himself if Camilla would be “just as cruel to him as all the wicked stepmothers in storybooks,” adding that William “long harbored suspicions about the Other Woman.”

In her book The Palace Papers, royal author Tina Brown wrote that Harry “unnerved” Camilla.
“When the younger boy was eventually prevailed upon to be in the presence of Mrs Parker Bowles, he unnerved her with long silences and smouldering, resentful stares,” she quoted a courtier saying.
Moreover – when it was announced that Camilla was to become Queen Consort – Tina Brown claimed that Harry wouldn’t accept it.
“William has accepted Camilla in terms of what she means to his father. He’s been grown-up about it. ‘My father loves this woman, I can’t fight it, so I won’t,’” she added.
“Harry, on the other hand, can’t stand Camilla, he doesn’t want Camilla to be Queen, he’s very angry that it’s happening. He has not made his peace with it, and he probably never will.
“If you are led to believe, as a member of the family, that being on the front page, having positive headlines, positive stories written about you, is going to improve your reputation or increase the chances of you being accepted as monarch by the British public, then that’s what you’re gonna do.”

However, although Charles is angry at his son, he’s still his father, and everyone still believes that the two could made amends.
During the visit of the University of East London’s Stratford campus for its 125th anniversary, the King unveiled a plaque to celebrate the opening of its new hospital and care take area. That’s when a person from the crowd shouted, “Bring back Harry please, can you please bring him back please, Sir,” as reported by Express.
King Charles asked who the man was talking about, to what the man said, “Harry, your son.”
Charles’ response caused emotions. The monarch was reported to have said, “It would be nice.”

Harry and Charles tried making things right several times in the past, but it seemed the attempts were to no avail.
As Harry will be in attendance for this year’s Invictus Games in Germany next month, on September 17, the OK! magazine’s source claims peace talks will reportedly be held there.
“King Charles is due to return to London from Balmoral in the middle of September, which ties with the end of Harry’s Invictus Games trip to Dusseldorf,” the source told OK!
“The King has a rescheduled official visit to France on September 20 so has a few days to spare in London to meet with his son. Staff are trying to fine-tune the details as we speak,” the source adds.
We truly hope that Harry and his dad would do all in their power to reconcile and reconnect.

Mark Wahlberg can brag with an impressive Hollywood career.
However, besides being a famous name in the world of film, and being married to a former Victoria Secret model, The Fighter star is also a devoted Catholic.
In fact, Wahlberg speaks of his faith often and says he starts every day with a prayer.
“I take two days a week off from the gym now,” he told MSN News. “I don’t take a day off from getting on my hands and my knees, from reading my prayer book and my daily devotionals.
“I pray for the patience,” Wahlberg added. “I want to be an example, with my work ethic, with my commitment to my faith, with my commitment to my family.
“I’ve been put in this position for a reason, it’s not to forget about where I came from. I have to utilize these talents and gifts that have been given to me to help others.”
Further, the actor said how he remains devoted to his religion despite the faith’s unpopularity in Hollywood.
On Ash Wednesday, Wahlberg appeared wearing ashes in the shape of a cross, symbolizing his participation in Lent.
The actor explained Lent’s fasting as detaching from hindering habits for spiritual growth, mentioning his plan to abstain from meat and have one meal from Ash Wednesday to Good Friday.

Joseph Kennedy, a football coach for the Bremerton School District in Washington state, was terminated from his coaching position back in 2015 after he reportedly refused to stop giving speeches containing religious references and for praying with the players.
Initially, Kennedy prayed by himself, but then students and players started joining him. That’s when the school board received complaints that some athletes actually felt pressured to join in.
Kennedy pursued a legal action against the district. The legal battle lasted eight years, after which the Supreme Court eventually ruled Kennedy to be rehired for the upcoming season and to be paid a $1.7 million settlement from the Bremerton School District in Washington State.
“Mr. Kennedy will be an assistant football coach for Bremerton High School for the 2023 season,” the district said on its official website.
The U.S. Supreme Court previously secured Kennedy’s right to pray with students as protected by the First Amendment.
School board president Alyson Rotter said: “We look forward to moving past the distraction of this nearly eight-year legal battle so that our school community can focus on what matters most: providing our children the best education possible.”
Speaking to the Daily Mail following the verdict, Kennedy said: “It is just incredible to know that I did nothing wrong. Everything I did was fine.
“I had a commitment with God that I’d give him thanks after every football game, win or lose.”
He added: “And that’s the way I started out.”

Over the course of our lives, it is our parents who we usually turn to whenever we face any difficulties because those are the people we trust the most. But what happens when we lose out trust in them because of various reasons.
One person faced a dilemma concerning his parents. Namely, he took to Reddit to ask fellow users for advice after he found out that his father was having an affair.
His parents’ marriage seemed picture perfect, so this discovery was a shocking one.
He knew if he spoke to his mother, it could mean the end of his parents’ marriage.
The user explained that he let things go for some time. He entered graduate school and turned to his studies and just hopes his dad would end the affair in the meantime, but that’s not what happened.
Whenever he would ask for his dad’s phone, the dad would turn the data off so that he won’t receive any messages, which was an obvious reason he was still seeing that other woman.
The user explained that he didn’t want his mom to be lied to, but he was also aware that the truth could crush her.
On the other hand, his dad was the perfect father who did all in his power to provide the family a beautiful life. He and his dad had a very close bond, so speaking to his mom about the affair before confronting his dad first could feel like a betrayal.
The user didn’t even speak to his brother about that, and asked the online community for some thoughts.
“At the end of the day, I know it’s on me to make the choice I think would possibly be the right one,” he wrote.
Users wrote that whatever he decides to do and whatever the outcome, he shouldn’t feel responsible for a potential breakup of the family and he shouldn’t feel responsible.
Others suggested that he speaks to his mother and relieve himself from the mental load and the pressure. Some added that he should speak to his father first.
In any case, most of the comments were that he needs to put an end to the misery of keeping such a secret for such a long time.

Al Roker, the longtime Today show anchor and our favorite weatherman, turned 69 years old on August 20.
Having in mind he has undergone several health scares over the course of the last 10 months, Al is happy to be celebrating another birthday surrounded by those he loves, his family and his many fans.
As always, he shared the joy of the day with his followers and thanked them for the support he received during the tough times he had faced. He also expressed his gratitude for the birthday wishes.
“Grateful for another trip around the sun,” he wrote in the caption.
“Good morning everybody, I hope you’re having a great Sunday. This is my 69th anniversary of orbiting the sun, and after everything I went through at the end of last year, I am more than grateful to be celebrating this birthday,” the weatherman started the video, referring to the health issues he experienced at the end of last year.
Back in November, 2022, Roker was admitted to hospital because of blood clots. Following concerns raised by his fans, Roker decided to share with them the reasons behind his absence from the show.
“So many of you have been thoughtfully asking where I’ve been,” he began his post. “Last week I was admitted to the hospital with a blood clot in my leg which sent some clots into my lungs.” He then added that he was in a process of recovery, but some time later, his condition worsened and he was forced to return to the hospital once again. For the first in years, he was forced to miss the Thanksgiving Parade.
Earlier this year, he came back to the show and spoke candidly of his health condition, admitting something his fans weren’t aware of up until that moment.
This wasn’t the first time for the TV personality to experience health issues. Two years ago, he revealed he’d been diagnosed with prostate cancer and had to have an organ removed. On top of it, he had undergone several surgeries to help him with his hip and knees issues.
His wife, Deborah Roberts, also spoke of Al’s hospitalization, saying, “This was terrifying at every minute.
“It was like the worst roller coaster ride you have ever been on.” Luckily, Al Roker lived to tell his story.
“To all of you who sent good wishes and well wishes over this past year, God bless you, thank you so much, I really appreciate it,” he continued in his birthday video.
The weatherman added just how grateful he is for his TODAY family and his own family.
Speaking of his health, Al says that it was his walking habit that helped him stay alive and encouraged his fans to get outside and spend time in the nature. That is why fans were thrilled to see him taking a walk while taking the video on his 69th birthday.
Happy birthday, Al Roker, and many more to come.

Tori Spelling and her children have been in and out of hospital for the past couple of months and as the Beverly Hills, 90210 alum said, they have all been feeling dizzy and then better, and then worse again.
“Here we are again at Urgent Care,” Spelling began alongside a photo of them in a hospital room. “We’ve all been on this continual spiral of sickness for months. Sick. Get better. To get sick again. Used to think… well that’s what happens when you have young kids in school. They just continually bring sicknesses home.”
“When it gets to the point where they are at home sick more than being in school we had to reassess what was going on. Kids will be kids but when you have your youngest (10 and 6) so sick they are sleeping all day and say they feel dizzy even standing I knew something bigger was going on,” Spelling continued.
With a photo of herself wearing a hospital bracelet and receiving IV, Spelling shared with her fans that she has been in the hospital for four days now.
She didn’t go into details but wrote that she misses her children, adding that she is “grateful and so proud of my strong, brave, resilient, and kind to the core children who remain positive no matter what comes our way.”
Months after being in and out of hospital, Spelling revealed the reason behind the dizziness and feeling unwell.
“Enter Mold inspection,” Spelling wrote. “Thanks to Sean at Pacific Scope Inspections who came out and discovered extreme mold in our home.”
“The pieces all started to fall into place. Has anyone ever been thru Mold Infections? You just keep getting sick, one infection after another. Respiratory infections. Extreme allergy like symptoms too and like my poor Finn skin rashes as well. As we sit here today in Urgent Care … watching everyone getting swabbed and first up Finn with Strep throat and high fever of 103. We now know that when the house was labeled a health hazard and not liveable that wording was FACT. We now GET IT!”
Recently, the actress has been posting photos of herself, her children, and her mom, saying those are the people who make her happy. What many notice is that her husband of 18 years, whom Spelling allegedly separated with, is nowhere to be seen.
In fact, her husband Dean, whom Spelling shares five children with, posted that the two were separating just to delete the post moments later.
“It’s with great sadness and a very very heavy heart that after 18 years together and 5 amazing children, that Tori Spelling and I have decided to go our separate ways and start a new journey of our own,” Dean wrote alongside photographs of himself and Spelling and their kids.
“We will continue to work together as loving parents and guide and love our children through this difficult time,” he continued. “We ask that you all respect our privacy as we take this time to surround our family with love and work our way through this. Thank you all for your support and kindness.”
There have been many reports that Kate Middleton wasn’t among the most popular students when she was a teenager. What’s most, she hated her first school, although her parents paid a bunch of money for her to study there.
Kate was sent to the all-girls boarding school Downe House for which her parents paid around £28,000 pounds in tuition. Sadly, that didn’t turn out to be the best decision as Kate experienced a very hard time there. According to her former classmates, she was often teased and bullied and she felt like she didn’t fit there.

A friend at a later school, Gemma Williamson, previously told the Daily Mail, “Apparently, she had been bullied very badly, and she certainly looked thin and pale. She had very little confidence.” Kate’s former classmate Emma Sayle said the princess hated that her school was “cliquey.”
“It is a very cliquey school, and there was a lot of pressure,” she told RSVP Live, as quoted by Express.
“The girls were all high achievers, and there were lots of girls with eating disorders. Everyone wanted to be the best, the fittest, the prettiest. I think Kate was miserable from the start.”
“Being especially slender and a head taller than her peers, she stood out for the wrong reasons and was teased for being gangly and lanky,” royal expert Katie Nicholl added.

At some point in her life, when she started dating William, Kate was mocked by his friends.
Before starting their multi-million dollar worth company Party Pieces, Kate’s parents worked ordinary jobs. Her mother was an air hostess for the British Airways and it seemed like a good ground for jokes at the future Princess’ expense.
Speaking on Vanity Fair’s DYNASTY podcast last year, royal expert Katie Nicholl – author of The New Royals – described how William’s “snooty” friends whispered “doors to manual” when Kate arrived at one of West London’s nightclubs.
The prince’s aristocratic friends who were referred to as the “Glosse Posse,” a reference to their Gloucestershire roots, didn’t feel like Kate was on their level. However, she never rose to the “derogatory” comments made towards her, but decided to ignore them.
“It was never water off a duck’s back, but she has extraordinary strength of character and resilience. I’ve never once seen or heard of her losing her temper,” a royal aide told the Sunday Times Magazine.

One time, people referred to Kate’s family as to “the en masse Middletons.” This was because the family would show up to an event in a “pristine” Land Rover, bringing with them all the things that come with an upper-class picnic.
On her first job, a deckhand at a yacht, the colleagues pranked Kate.
One of her duties was giving the passengers a safety demonstration before entering the yacht, including how the life jackets worked.
But one time that was about to go down, Kate’s colleagues played a prank on her. She, however, stayed professional.

“When she pulled the toggle, the thing inflated, and a load of condoms fell out,” Cal Tomlinson, who used to work with Kate, recalled in Katie Nicholls’ book Kate: The Future Queen, as reported by the Mirror.
“She was mortified and very embarrassed. She took it more seriously than the others might have, but she wasn’t thrown off her stride.”
Tomlinson added, “She was angry at first, but she settled down, and I don’t remember her ever getting them back.”
Well, we guess she did get them back by becoming a Princess and one of the most loved members of the Palace.

Among those who received their fair share of criticism by Harry have been his father King Charles and his stepmother Camilla.
When William and Harry met Camilla fro the first time, William reportedly described the meeting as “awkward and tense.”
“I think the relationship between them all is warm now but if I’m honest, it wasn’t then. I think they found it hard,” a palace source told royal biographer Penny Junor, author of Prince William: Born to be King. “To be fair to Camilla, she never tried to be mummy but she was the ‘other woman’ and she was there and taking daddy’s time.”
Other experts claimed that initially, Harry wasn’t fond of Camilla either.

In her book The Palace Papers, royal author Tina Brown wrote that Harry “unnerved” Camilla.
“When the younger boy was eventually prevailed upon to be in the presence of Mrs Parker Bowles, he unnerved her with long silences and smouldering, resentful stares,” she quoted a courtier saying.
And now, Camilla wasn’t spared in Spare either.
Harry revealed in his memoir that he and his brother had pleaded with their father not to marry Camilla.
“Despite Willy and me urging him not to, Pa was going ahead. We pumped his hand, wished him well. No hard feelings,” Harry wrote in Spare. “We recognized that he was finally going to be with the woman he loved, the woman he’d always loved.”
He even wrote that he had asked himself if Camilla would be “just as cruel to him as all the wicked stepmothers in storybooks,” adding that William “long harbored suspicions about the Other Woman.”

Previously, in the interviews he gave to the media, Harry accused his stepmother of leaking stories to the British media in an attempt to fix her own public image. Further, he said that the media portrayed her as a ‘villain’ because they believed she was to be blamed for Charles and Diana’s collapsed marriage.
“That made her dangerous because of the connections that she was forging within the British press. And there was open willingness on both sides to trade of information. And with a family built on hierarchy, and with her, on the way to being Queen Consort, there was gonna be people or bodies left in the street because of that,” Harry said.
“If you are led to believe, as a member of the family, that being on the front page, having positive headlines, positive stories written about you, is going to improve your reputation or increase the chances of you being accepted as monarch by the British public, then that’s what you’re gonna do.”

In an interview with Good Morning America, Harry revealed that he hasn’t spoken with his father’s wife for a very long time.
“I love every member of my family, despite the differences, so when I see her, we’re perfectly pleasant with each other,” he said.
“She’s my stepmother. I don’t look at her as an evil stepmother. I see someone who married into this institution and has done everything that she can to improve her own reputation and her own image, for her own sake.”
According to royal expert Angela Levin, Camilla feels the same and she isn’t much interested in a relationship with Harry either.
“The Duchess always felt quite wary of Harry and used to see him out of the corner of her eye looking at her in a long and cold way. She found it rather unnerving. Otherwise, they got on quite well,” Levin writes in her new book Camilla: From Outcast to Queen Consort.

It has now been reported that at the legendary Royal Ascot at the Ascot Racecourse which includes a week of horse racing, there was a gossip about the Sussexes at the royal enclosure. Allegedly, many were happy because Harry and Meghan weren’t in attendance.
“The gossip in the royal enclosure was how happy everyone was that Meghan and Harry weren’t here. Camilla’s friends say she remains furious at Harry and Meghan,” the source, who attended Ascot, said.
“Camilla tells Charles they make her uncomfortable, and Charles loves her unconditionally — he made her queen and will choose her well-being over them every time.”
The source concluded, “Camilla knows not to go too far, as Charles still loves Harry. Everyone blames Meghan for the entire mess. Today at Ascot proved the people love her, and she won’t risk ruining it by engaging with Harry and Meghan.”

The British royals have stayed silent over most of the allegations made against them by Harry and Meghan, and that includes the number of interview they gave, their Netflix series, and Harry’s book Spare.
One of the most explosive claims revealed in Spare, whose title allegedly comes from Harry’s “spare” role as the second son of the King or the fact that he has been “spared” from his family, is the heated argument between the brothers over Meghan Markle.
According to Harry, his brother reportedly labeled Meghan “difficult,” “rude,” and “abrasive.”
Harry explained how William went to Nottingham Cottage, then Harry and Meghan’s home on Kensington Palace grounds in London, in order to discuss “‘the whole rolling catastrophe’ of their relationship and struggles with the press.”

However, the conversation turned into a heated argument.
In order to calm things down, Harry handed over a glass of water to his brother.
“He set down the water, called me another name, then came at me. It all happened so fast. So very fast. He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor. I landed on the dog’s bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me. I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out.”
Allegedly, William then urged Harry to strike back but Harry refused to do so.
“What was different here was the level of frustration, and I talk about the red mist that I had for so many years, and I saw this red mist in him,” Harry wrote.
“He wanted me to hit him back, but I chose not to.”

Earlier this year, Harry and Meghan decided to give their children, Archie and Lilibet, the royal titles of prince and princess, claiming it was their “birthright” after their grandfather was crowned king. Even though they had left royal life, the couple still had their UK home of Frogmore Cottage to return to, but that changed after Charles, who wants to slim down the monarchy, evicted them from the UK based property.
The news has been confirmed by Harry and Meghan’s spokesperson. “We can confirm the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been requested to vacate their residence at Frogmore Cottage,” the spokesperson told Vanity Fair.
Allegedly, the residence has been offered to Prince Andrew instead, who has been living in a 30-room Royal Lodge in Windsor Great Park since 2003.

As per The Sun, Andrew is “resisting” the King’s wish for him to move into Frogmore Cottage. “This surely spells the end of Harry and Meghan’s time in the UK,” a royal source told the newspaper.
Royal expert and author Omid Scobie wrote that King Charles was “spitting mad” with Harry’s book, which undoubtedly played a role in the decision to evict the prince. The relationship between Harry and his family had, at the time, also reached “an all-time low,” Scobie wrote.
“It all feels very final and like a cruel punishment,” a friend of Harry and Meghan’s added. “It’s like [the family] wants to cut them out of the picture for good.”

Now, many royal experts claim that king Charles didn’t do anything to make his son and daughter-in-law “less royal” when he took the reins last year. Further, he made a mistake when he didn’t act once the accusations were made against him.
“Harry and Meghan have undermined the monarchy and Charles has made a terrible mistake,” Bower, author of Revenge: Meghan, Harry, and the War Between the Windsors, told Express.
“He should have cut them off straight away. He should never have allowed their children to be made a prince and princess. And he shouldn’t have invited Harry to the coronation. He should have just cut them off.”
One of the actions Charles could do against his son and daughter-in-law was to strip them from their Duke and Duchess titles. That would serve as a strong disapproval of their accusations.

Robert Jobson, author of Our King Charles III: The Man and the Monarch Revealed, spoke to Express and cites a source close to the palace saying that even if Meghan Markle becomes the President of the United States, removing her title is “just not going to happen.”
“I was at Royal Ascot the other day, and I met a source, who is quite close to the Royal Family,” Jobson said. “I said, ‘Well, what about all this stuff about stripping titles?’”
“If you’re going to have a President Meghan, then surely, they’re not going to want to have their royal titles and they will be kicked out of the line succession?’ I asked. And he absolutely categorically said, that’s just not going to happen.”
Jobson continued, “It’s just going to rock everybody and create a story that will shake the Hornet’s Nest again. And as a result, it’s not going to achieve anything. It’s definitely very unlikely that Harry will ever be king, so why play a problem?”

Besides being an incredible addition to most dishes and a precious ingredient in the culinary world, bay leaf has a few unexpected health advantages too.
This doesn’t come as a surprise having in mind that bay leaf is known to humans for thousands of years. In addition to this, this plant has potential health advantages and a spiritual importance.
An Ancient Herb with Surprising Benefits
Ancient Greeks used bay leaf in a number of spiritual ceremonies, especially by oracles to predict the future.
They also used it for its therapeutic benefits and as emblems of valor and victory. According to Greek mythology, the god Apollo turned a nymph named Daphne into a bay laurel tree, which is how the relationship between divinity and bay leaves came about.
Burning bay leaf is said to produce smoke that offers a range of health benefits, one of which is reducing the level of anxiety. This is due to the smoke that contains linalool, a compound found in a number of other plants, including mint and lavender, which also help treat anxiety.
The good thing about inhaling bay leaf smoke is that it does not induce sleep. It only clears and calms the mind while maintaining mental alertness.
Based on the study of aromatherapy, inhaling certain fragrances, such as linalool, prompt smell receptors in the nose to communicate with the areas of the brain that help regulate the emotions.
Bay leaves contain essential oils, tannins, and various compounds with anti-inflammatory, antifungal, and antibacterial properties which help with various issues. Among the benefits are soothing digestive issues such as bloating, indigestion, and constipation, relieving respiratory conditions bronchitis and congestion, regulating blood sugar levels and more.
Bay leaves have also traditionally been used for infection, fewer, arthritis, and headaches.
To learn more of the benefits of bay leaves and how to properly burn them to achieve health benefits go to the video below.
To make sure burning bay leaf and inhaling the smoke is appropriate for your specific needs, always consult a healthcare practitioner before adding bay leaves to any health routine.

The relationship between Johnny Depp and his now ex-wife Amber Heard was nothing less than tumultuous.
Following a bunch of allegations of abuse, the two were involved in a high-profile court battle. The trial was a nasty one and all manner of private affairs were aired for the world to see.
The two met on the set of The Rum Diary in 2011 and started dating shortly after Depp called it quits with his long-term partner, Vanessa Paradis.

Depp and Heard got engaged in 2014 and tied the knot a year later.
Mere months into their married life, Depp reportedly ended up with a hand injury following “smashing bottles and windows” during a heated argument with his wife.
It was Heard who filed for divorce and cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for it.
Getty Images
Heard defamed Depp in an op-ed she wrote for The Washington Post in which she spoke of domestic abuse. She didn’t mention his name, it was implied she spoke of her husband.
“Two years ago, I became a public figure representing domestic abuse, and I felt the full force of our culture’s wrath for women who speak out,” she wrote and received immense support from women from all around the country and the world.
Depp denied all the allegations against him, but Heard’s blow affected his career. Fewer and fewer directors were interested in giving him roles and his appearance in J.K Rowling’s Fantastic Beasts sequel, The Crimes of Grindelwald, was heavily criticized. He was even dropped from his iconic role as Captain Jack Sparrow in 2018.
Getty Images
Depp then filed a $50-million defamation case against Heard and claimed he was the one suffering domestic abuse all along.
“The op-ed [Heard’s article] depended on the central premise that Ms. Heard was a domestic abuse victim and that Mr. Depp perpetrated domestic violence against her,” his defamation lawsuit read.
“She hit, punched, and kicked me. She also repeatedly and frequently threw objects into my body and head, including heavy bottles, soda cans, burning candles, television remote controls, and paint thinner cans, which severely injured me.”
Getty Images
Depp won the case, and after losing millions of dollars and a lot of time out of work, he’s finally back, to the delight of his millions of fans.
Eventually, he returned to the big screen and was given a rousing seven-minute standing ovation at the opening night screening of Jeanne Du Barry at Cannes 2023. As he walked down the red carpet, fans screamed his name and a woman broke down in tears in order to gather his attention.
Getty Images
Jeanne Du Barry, in which he stars as the former King of France Louis XV, has been the actor’s first film project since the defamation trial.
Now, however, Depp worried fans when he shared an Instagram post in which he wrote: “My dear friends, I regret to inform you that I have suffered a fractured ankle, which is quite a disappointment. Initially, it started as a minor hairline break, but as we journeyed from Cannes to The Albert Hall, it worsened instead of healing.”
Getty Images
“Several medical professionals have strongly suggested I avoid any and all activity for the moment and so am sadly unable to travel at the time,” he continued.
Getty Images
Addressing the fans who were eagerly awaiting him in Boston, New Hampshire, and New York, he sent his apologies and said: “The guys and I are deeply sorry to miss you all, but fear not, I promise an extraordinary show in Europe later, and we’ll undoubtedly give our best performance on the East Coast later this summer, making it up to those who have already purchased tickets!”
“Again, sincerest and deepest apologies. All my love and respect, J.D,” he concluded.
Getty Images
Fans were worried, but at the same time, they sent their best wishes to the actor. “The pain he bore on his face during the concert was evident. So this news doesn’t come as a surprise. I genuinely hope he takes ample rest during the remainder of his travels and upcoming performances. Take care, Johnny, we love you…” one person wrote.

After everything he’s been through over the course of the last couple of years, Depp deserves to live his life to the fullest.

LOS ANGELES, CA - FEBRUARY 9, 2015: Kevin Costner at the world premiere of his movie "McFarland USA" at the El Capitan Theatre, Hollywood.
Yellowstone star Kevin Costner and his wife of nearly 19 years are divorcing. The news came as a shock to Costner who is currently busy working on his upcoming directorial project Horizon, a western movie.
However, people close to the couple say Christine Baumgartner, who was the one to file for divorce, allegedly warned her husband that she would leave him had he continued be absent from home because of work.
Apparently, Costner’s absence was ‘hard’ for Baumgartner who wanted him to spend more time at home with his family in Santa Barbara.
“During filming, Kevin is not around very much. His absence has been very hard for her,” a source reportedly said. Another insider reported that while Costner was aware that his wife was not happy in their marriage, her filing for divorce was nonetheless a shock to him.

“Christine doesn’t want him to throw himself into another project. He has been obsessed with filming Horizon since last year. She wasn’t happy about it,” a source reported.
“At times, his career has taken precedence over his home life,” another source added.
“All of this success and excitement over the new project probably took his attention away from his family more than he realized. Since it didn’t look like that would change and likely could get worse, it caused tension at home,” the source added.

The couple started dating back in 2000 and tied the knot some four years later, sharing three kids together, all under aged. This isn’t Costner’s first marriage. Previously, he was married to his college sweetheart Cindy Silva. During his beginnings as an actor, Silva supported his dream of becoming a star by working various jobs, including that of Snow White in Disneyland. However, as his career progressed, she wasn’t comfortable with him shooting steamy scenes with female co-workers. There were also rumors of alleged affairs, and the couple split eventually.
It was a nasty divorce which led for one of the most famous celebrities to experience loneliness for a long period of time.

Well, until he met Baumgartner. The couple first dated and split because Costner didn’t want to have more children, to which the former model said, “I’m going to wait for you, but not long. When you come to your senses, come back to me’” and he did.
Not that this marriage has also come to an end, a representative of the actor said, “It is with great sadness that circumstances beyond his control have transpired which have resulted in Mr. Costner having to participate in a dissolution of marriage action.
“We ask that his, Christine’s and their children’s privacy be respected as they navigate this difficult time,” the statement further read.

Reports are that Baumgartner has not filed for spousal support. Costner’s response has been filed by Laura Wasser. “Spousal support to be payable to petitioner pursuant to the terms of the parties’ Premarital Agreement,” Wasser added, indicating that there is a pre-nuptial agreement between both parties.
