Who doesn’t love watching and practicing some good dancing? Moving your body in the rhythm of the music can feel liberating. But guess what? This isn’t only true for humans, but animals as well. And now, if you think you’ve seen some great animal dancers before, wait until you see these two horses joining in a salsa dance class.

Posted by Fiek Vdh on Thursday, 28 May 2020

The video that is making people from all over the world laugh was taken in The Hague, The Netherlands while dance instructor Fiek Vanderharst was having a demo lesson at the Zuiderpark park with the students.

Among the rest of the onlookers who found the dancing fun and enjoyable to watch were two officers on horseback who were patrolling the area at the time.

“Last night I did a salsa lesson in the Zuiderpark The Hague,” Vanderharst wrote on Facebook. “Two police officers on horse came by and decided to join a dance! Great and what an enthusiasm.”

Believe it or not, the officers, but especially the horses, loved the music and soon danced together with the group.

The cute video was taken by one of the bystanders, Bob Bogaard, and turned into a huge Internet hit. Of course, this doesn’t really come as a surprise because we don’t get to see horses practicing salsa every day, or ever.

The video was later shared on Vanderharst’s page and on the Dutch journalist Martijn Mastenbroek’s Twitter account and ended up on Reddit.

Some of the people who have seen it weren’t really fond of the officers having fun around, especially with all the protest against police brutality taking place all over the States and other countries, but not all officers are the same, right?

One user explained how the horses got into the rhythm so well writing, “These horses are dressage horses! They’re trained to do this, and probably think this is a blast….my old trainer helped start Dutch police horses, and they start them (according to her) in dressage. The basics, like leg yields, backing up, etc.” So it looks like not any random horse can pull such moves after all.

Vanderharst enjoyed the attention and was glad millions of people have seen and loved her video. She took to Facebook to thank everyone, writing, “One week ago I posted a video of me and my friends to which we danced salsa, with company of two police officers on horseback. A special and unique situation, which especially gave and radiated lots of fun. A positive vibe, in this (still) weird time. I asked y’all to share the video and this was done massively. Now we are one week further and the video has continued all of Europe and even out there like America. Multiple media platforms were interested in this video. Bizarre and incredibly amazing. I want to thank you for sharing, because of you this video went viral. Without you, this wouldn’t be possible!”

Meghan Markle and Harry claim they married three days before the Royal Wedding millions witnessed

By

Some support them, other call them attention seekers, but no matter how you feel about them, chances are you do have an opinion about everything that is going on with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

During their bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, the Sussex Royals revealed many shocking details that preceded and followed their stepping down from the royal duties. Initially, their plan was to split their time between U.K. and U.S. but shortly after, they announced they wanted to be financially independent.

U.K. media, as well as many influential international magazines, have slammed their decision to split from the royal family, but both Harry and Meghan believed it was the best thing to do when it came to their family. During the recent interview that caused a stir on the social media, Harry once again defended their decision to move from Britain because he didn’t want “history repeating itself,” referring to his late mother.

At the time of making and announcing their decision to leave the royal life behind, the Queen released a statement which read: “Today my family had very constructive discussions on the future of my grandson and his family.”

“My family and I are entirely supportive of Harry and Meghan’s desire to create a new life as a young family,” she continued. “Although we would have preferred them to remain full-time working Members of the Royal Family, we respect and understand their wish to live a more independent life as a family while remaining a valued part of my family.”

During the past period, Harry and Meghan didn’t speak of their private life much, neither they tried justifying any of their decisions, but once they confirmed in February of this year that they are not getting back to their royal duties, they felt free to give an interview.

Among the rest, Meghan said how she and Harry married three days prior to their royal wedding which was broadcasted and watched by millions of people.

“You know, three days before our wedding, we got married,” Markle told Oprah. “No one knows that. But we called the archbishop, and we just said, ‘Look, this spectacle is for the world, but we want our union between us.’”

“The vows that we have framed in our room are just the two of us in our backyard with the archbishop of Canterbury.”

Harry commented on his wife’s revelation, saying: “Just the three of us.”

Many accused the couple of lying, as according to the law, there have to be witnesses for the marriage to take place. But as it turns out, they didn’t really get married prior to the ceremony the world witnessed, they only exchanged their vows. That is the best explanation the public came to after the interview.

Among the rest, the couple revealed how there were conversations at the Palace about how dark the skin of their baby would be, thus “bringing out” the question about racism in the Royal family.

Marine veteran who lost a leg and an eye receives new adapted home from Gary Sinise Foundation

They say actions speak louder than words, so judging from the huge number of deeds of kindness he is doing for people in need, especially injured veterans, actor Gary Sinise is definitely on the top of the list of people who are making a change and help move this world forward.

Since he has started the Gary Sinise Foundation, the Forrest Gump star helped build over 70 small adapted homes for veterans.

The description of his foundation says: “At the Gary Sinise Foundation, we serve our nation by honoring our defenders, veterans, first responders, their families, and those in need.We do this by creating and supporting unique programs designed to entertain, educate, inspire, strengthen, and build communities.”

Josue Barron is one of the Marines who received an adapted home. Barron, who is now a father of three, joined the Marine Corps when he was only 17 years old.

Speaking to ABC7 News, this brave young man said: “I didn’t have a dad, so the Marine Corps became my father. There was discipline, so I feel like it became that role model that I needed to become who I wanted to become.”

He was passionate about his job and was proud of serving his country and his people, but then, a tragedy took place. During his deployment in Afghanistan, an IED exploded and Barron lost his left leg and his left eye.

“I knew exactly what I was getting myself into. I knew what I wanted. One thing I didn’t know was, I didn’t expect to lose a limb,” he told ABC 7.

Walking with a prosthetic leg is causing Barron pain. He is always looking forward to sit in his wheelchair and relax after a day out.

He says that his wife and his mother, two strong women he can always count on, help him every step of the way. And now, Sinise is stepping in by giving Barron a home.

The veteran got a call from the actor himself when he was delivered the news.

Elizabeth Fields, CEO of the Gary Sinise Foundation said: “Living in a house that is not accessible to you, you’re challenged every single day to do the daily activities that normal people do.

“Just being able to roll into the shower without jumping any obstacles, to be able to come home and have the whole house accessible to my wheelchair and me, it’s definitely going to change my life.”

“They’re a lovely family, so deserving, he protected our freedom, and this is our way to say thank you.” 

We can never thank Gary Sinise enough for everything he is doing for our veterans. As for Barron and his family, we are very glad they were chosen to get the new adapted home they needed so much. 

Take a look at the video below to learn more of Barron and the Gary Sinise Foundation. 

Dancing couple’s smooth as silk performance dazzles judges

They say dancing is the closest thing to magic, and seeing this couple practicing their shag dance routine makes us even more certain this saying is true. 

This particular style is vibrant and requires the highest level of coordination between the partners. It does take a lot of hours of practice and commitment, but the final results are always beyond mesmerizing. 

The shag dance originated in South Carolina during the 1940’s and its popularity has only been growing with the years. What is interesting about it is that the dancers seem to be doing it with such ease that it’s hard to look away. Dancing or floating above the dance floor? Well, it’s sometimes hard to say. 

In the past, shag dance was mainly practiced in clubs, but nowadays, there are plenty of competitions involving this unique style. One of the most popular is the Grand National Pro Am Division Competition.

The names of Myers Varn Floyd and Caleb Brown are very popular among the lovers of shag dance. It’s safe to say that this dancing couple is one of the best out there and their routines take audiences’ breath away.  

In order to be in perfect shape when dancing, Myers Varn Floyd is a part of a cheer-leading group as well. 

She can be seen on the field when the Carolina Panthers play. It’s obvious she enjoys this role as much as she enjoys hitting the dance floor. 

Myers and Celeb have what it takes to win both national competitions and the hearts of everyone who sees them going a bundle on shag dancing. 

Their chemistry is undeniable and their lightning fast moves make the experience of watching them perform one of a kind. 

Shag dancing is versatile, and these two make sure they include each of the movements that add a signature touch to it, slides, swings, twirls, and some fancy footwork. 

One partner twirling the other seem to be the most exiting move of all. And although in the past this style only let men do it, in the time of equality, women do it too. Their double twirl during which they spin in opposite directions while holding hands is the cherry on top of the incredible routine. 

The video of this couple’s shag dance performed at the national competition has been seen by more than 2 million people who couldn’t help but share their thoughts on this routine with one of them saying, “Great stuff and makes you feel so good and happy as you tap your feet to the beat.”

Make sure you don’t miss this ‘smooth as silk’ performance. We couldn’t take our eyes off of these two.

High school talent shows are a perfect way for many kids to show off their skills. Although they may feel a bit shy performing in front of the whole school, it’s still one of the best ways to become famous among the peers. 

Brett Nichols is a young boy who stunned his classmates, his teachers, and the rest of the people who got to see him rock the stage by dancing to late Michael Jackson’s song “Billy Jean.” It’s crazy how a teenager can recreate the iconic moves so true. Brett, as “The King of Pop” himself, defies gravity. 

YouTube

The impressive choreography makes the crowd go frenzy over the incredible dance moves. They can’t stop cheering as young Brett takes the stage. The way he is dressed, the black suit, a black hat, white shirt and white socks, makes the whole performance even stronger. This young man dances to the beat of the music and embodies Michael Jackson.  

It’s very stunning how he does the routine with such ease, and looks as though he’s not touching the floor, but flies. People will assume he’s done this a million times before. That’s how great he is. 

YouTube

The video of Brett’s crazy dancing skills has been viewed by millions of people who agree that the moonwalk he breaks out into is not something we see every day. It doesn’t only take talent to nail those moves, but courage as well. 

Needless to say, Brett won the first place and got himself a bunch of followers and fans. He’s definitely going to be the most famous guy at school.  

YouTube

This initial performance at Pitman High School in Turlock, California, allowed Brett to continue sharing his talent when he made an appearance on NBC, CNN and ABC News’ The View. He has also traveled with Michael Jackson cover bands.

It’s really touching how Michael Jackson’s presence could be felt because of his songs and people like Brett who find inspiration in his work even though he is not physically present among us. 

YouTube

This young boy will definitely leave you in awe as you see his mind-boggling performance in the video below. Pulling off such moves requires out-of-this-world dancing talent. 

Owner pretends to be crying just to see how her horse would react – And it is incredibly beautiful

Those who are convinced that animals are emotionless creatures whose behavior is only driven by the desire to find food are very much mistaken. Every dog owner will tell you how their four-legged pals get overly excited when the humans get home and offer support when their owners feel down.

However, canines aren’t the only creatures who possess the ability to feel happiness, sadness, or show empathy. Among the animals known to be very emotional are the magnificent horses. They are not often kept as pets, except by farmers, but those who have ever had the chance to be around horses know just how special they are.

One horse owner decided to see what will happen if her horse see her crying. She turned her camera on and then sat down with her legs crossed and made a noise as though she was crying. At first, her horse didn’t notice her, but once he heard the whimpering, he picked a piece of hay with his mouth and gave it to her.

Well, hay makes horses happy, so this elegant stallion believed that treating his sad owner with some will make her happy too.

The video is too cute to handle. Check it out below and don’t forget to share it with your friends.

“Pilot Pete’s Coffee & Treats” owner delivers over 6,000 coats with warm cups of coffee to the homeless of Chicago

What we do for those who are less fortunate speaks a lot of us as human beings. In times of need, we should always stick for one another because that’s the only way of making this world a better place for everyone.

Meet Peter Thomas, a young man who is doing a huge change in the lives of the homeless people living in Chicago. Pete owns a coffee shop, Pilot Pete’s Coffee & Treats, located at the suburban Chicago train station. His shop is welcoming and everyone around loves this man not only for his hardworking nature, but also for all he does for the community.

He started his business back in 2011, and despite the difficulties he has been experiencing because of the pandemic, he’s still going strong. For seven years now, Peter is the man behind the Coffee with a Purpose initiative, which offers free coffee, treats, coats, warm clothes, as well as personal hygiene items for the homeless. For that purpose, Peter, who brewed up 40 gallons of coffee, together with Rough Edges Confectionery, who provided the baked goods, Good Move Movers, who provided the 26-foot moving truck and a driver, and Angel Fancy Design Studio, who made the custom truck signage, made six stops throughout greater Chicago.

According to Peter, the number of people in need of the items Annual Coat Drive was offering this year was greater than before mainly because of the effect the pandemic had on the society. As we all know, a lot of people lost their jobs and are struggling to make ends meet. From November 1st to February 1st, the period when the Annual Coat Drive takes place, with the help of the community, over 6,000 coats were distributed around Chicago.

“[When]we made this effort, all the shelters were on lockdown,” Peter said in an interview with the Elmhurst Independent. “No one was allowed in or out, that is, once you’re out, you can’t get back in, so there are more and more homeless people… This is a good year to be extra giving.”

“You never know where someone has been or what someone’s been through before meeting them,” he added. “With the homeless, we treat everyone the same or equal.”

According to Peter’s mom and everyone who knows him, he’s one of the most considerate and helping people there are.

“I love working with coffee as a tool of motivation to fuel and ignite people to soar beyond their expectations and to soar beyond society’s expectations,” he said. “I’m fueling them and caffeinating them to do something better… something that will make them feel good about themselves so we can all grow together as one coffee family and fly beyond greatness.”

As he has done a lot for the community, now the community wants to give Peter back by signing the petition for his coffee to remain inside the new Elmhurst Metra Station that is being under construction. If you want to help Peter, you can sign here.

My punishes daughter for offending a homeless man by making her sleep outside in the cold for a night

Doing parenting right is always easier said than done. In hopes of teaching their children how to become respected individuals who would respect others in return, parents are sometimes opting for some unconventional methods.

Recently, one mom’s Reddit post got the attention of many after she explained how she forced her daughter sleep outside during the cold weather after she offended a homeless man. As she explained it, it all started when she saw a video of her daughter Jessica telling the homeless man not to ask her for money, adding: “You’d earn it yourself if you weren’t so f***ing lazy and spending what you earned on substances.” After he could be heard complaining about sleeping outside during the cold weather, Jessica replies: “Yeah people camp for fun, even in December, you can’t complain, you’re living someone’s holiday.”

The mom was shocked. She couldn’t believe her daughter could be so inconsiderate. “I thought I had raised an empathetic daughter,” she wrote on Reddit.

After the incident, the mom made Jessica apologize to the homeless man and pay $20 for a room in a hotel so that he could spend the night there. Jessica did that, but her mother could tell her apology wasn’t sincere as the girl could be seen rolling her eyes. That is why she decided that it would be for the best if Jessica got a taste of her own medicine.

“I locked her bedroom door so she couldn’t go in, put a sign on it saying closed for the holidays, pitched a tent in the garden and filled it with blankets and the sleeping bag I used when I was camping in Norway on a family holiday as a teen (aka really bloody thermal),” the mom wrote.

She was sure she was doing the right thing until her sister called her and told her that her punishment was way too severe.

It was then that the mother decided to share the whole story with the fellow Redditors and ask for advice. Needless to say, most of them praised her for her creative way of teaching Jessica a lesson and called her an awesome mom.

The mom further explained that after she got home from work the following day, Jessica did complain for having to spend the night outside, but she was in the kitchen preparing meals for the homeless in the neighborhood, so it was all worth it.

As for the homeless man, the mom is now helping him find a job. He is 25 and had to go through a lot during his life. We hope everything will turn for the best for him. As for Jessica, we are glad she learned empathy and we know she would be a much better person in the future.

Cows go bonkers over a huge bristle brush installed just for them

Tom Pemberton is a young farmer from England who loves what he does for a living. He’s very active on the social media where he entered by chance and speaks of the life of farmers. He’s also embraced as a spokesperson for all the farmers out there.

“I got into social media by mistake. I was trying to promote a raw milk vending machine in a video, which my girlfriend helped me with at the time. We posted the video on Facebook and YouTube — Facebook went really well with around 11,000 views and YouTube only got 200-300 views. That’s how it started, completely by mistake!” Tom said.

However, we are very lucky he did because his farm resembles an animal heaven and watching videos of all the animals living there and enjoying their days is pure pleasure. Yes, Tom makes sure he keeps the livestock happy, and if you ask how one keeps a cow happy just take a look at what this young man is doing for his cattle.

During one of his latest videos, his followers noticed something resembling a huge brush in the middle of the farm and the cows gathered around it, scratching their heads and bodies.

What an incredible sight!

The huge scratching post for the cows was installed by Mayo Farm Systems, and Tom posted a video showing how it was placed. Some of the cows were closely monitoring the whole process as though they knew this unusual yellow thing is meant specially for them.

Thomas Duffy, the founder of Mayo Farm Systems and the inventor of this special brush which allows animals to rub their bodies on it, says he turned his idea into a real project firstly because he loves animals, and secondly because he wanted his brother’s cattle to be happy and not get hurt rubbing their bodies on the fences. He later offered to work with Tom and provide one for his cows as well.

The video is definitely a must watch. And as the caption says, this is how you can make 100 cows happy in the blink of an eye. Enjoy!

32-year-old mother brutally killed by two teenagers aged 14 and 18

By
Monica Pop

32-year-old Pamela Cabriales, who was a mother of a six-year-old boy, was brutally killed by two teenagers while she was sitting in her Land Rover.

After the horrific killing, the suspects, who were 14 and 18 years old fled the scene but were soon caught by the police during the chase after them.

Pamela was rushed to the hospital, but unfortunately, she was pronounced dead. Her family was devastated. They still can’t understand why someone would kill their sister and daughter and leave her little son without his mother.

Speaking to KDVR News, Pamela’s grieving brother, Alex, said: “It was inhumane what they did to my sister. It was terrible. I mean I don’t want to be graphic, but I was at the hospital with her. The whole top of her head was blown off, her brain was exposed. The community needs to know what these people did. My sister was beautiful.”

This, unfortunately, isn’t the first and only tragedy the family has suffered. Alex revealed that back in 1994, their brother died in a similar manner. He was shot and killed when he was just 14 years old.

Pamela was killed on February 20, and Alex is now asking from the community to come together. He told KDVR News: “This is a call to action. (Denver prosecutor) Beth McCann has the power to make sure these two individuals never walk free a day in their life and don’t kill anyone else. It’s not even for us. It’s for the community, for other families. We don’t want other families to go through.”

Alex added: “We didn’t speak up or say anything then. It got swept under the rug. I know the head of the DA’s office believes in rehabilitation, especially with minors. but there are just some individuals you cannot offer rehabilitation to. You need to look at severity of crime, their record.”

A GoFundMe page has been set up in order to help secure Pamela’s son’s financial security. So far, around $63.000 have been raised.

Rest in peace, Pamela.

Veterans waiting at airport start dancing to “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy”

When something unexpected comes along our way, it is on us to decide whether we will embrace it and try to turn in into our favor or not, just like these veterans who found themselves waiting long hours at the airport as their flight was delayed.

These World War II heroes were supposed to get back home to Kentucky from Washington D.C but got stuck at the Reagan National Airport. All of the veterans were gifted a free trip as part of a project by the non-profit organization Honor Flight Network.

Source: YouTube-Grace Gupton

Knowing that waiting can be frustrating, the Ladies of Liberty decided to make the veterans’ time at the airport fun so they started singing one of the most famous patriotic songs, the classic Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy by The Andrews Sisters.

However, they probably didn’t believe that two of the elderly gentlemen would start dancing. Marin Perryman took the “dance floor” first and his battle buddy, Paul Kopey, joined in.

Source: YouTube-Grace Gupton

The sight of the veterans moving to the rhythm was pretty incredible to witness. Onlookers were delighted, and one of them, a woman, joined in the heroes in having fun. As she danced with Paul, Martin approached and tapped him on the shoulder, asking for his turn to show off.

Source: YouTube-Grace Gupton

The ending was probably the best of all. It showed the veterans and the woman laughing and hugging each other.

Thankfully, it was all caught on tape by a woman named Grace Gupton who later shared the video on YouTube. Among the comments, there was one written by the woman dancing. It said: “Oh, my goodness! I loved dancing with these gents! It isn’t every day that a WWII vet can out dance you! After an early morning and a long day traipsing all over DC, these veterans still have amazing energy!”

Gentlemen, thank you for your service and thank you for making our day with your dancing.

Take a look at the video of the veterans dancing below. Wasn’t life much better before the pandemic?

There is no arguing that horses are one of the most gracious creatures there are. Elegant and friendly, they make perfect pets for those living in areas where they can take care of them and let them run as much and as long as they want.

On top of that, horses are also part of a number of police departments and are often used during demonstrations and riots as they allow officers to have better visibility of what is going on.

An officer and his horse from Louisiana stole the hearts of many after they stumbled upon a jazz band playing life on the street. The rhythm was catchy and the horse couldn’t help but start dancing to the surprise of everyone watching.

The good thing is that someone thought of capturing the amazing sight on a video which went viral and received thousands of likes and comments all for the right reasons.

Well, it’s not every day that we see a horse dancing.

The officer follows the rhythm as well. He and his horse not only make great work companions, but also awesome dance partners.

Many were amazed with this dance performance and took their time to comment. One person highlighted the fact that Louisiana is considered the luckiest state and wrote: “I can see now why people from Louisiana love their state so much. What a fantastic scene! The music, the dancing… I love the way the officer never loses composure during the whole thing, he really just lets his horse be the real performer.”

Another person added: “Only in New Orleans!!! Thank you so much for posting! The most unique city in our country!! Fabulous food, music, history and the friendliest people on earth!!”

Please note that this took place before the pandemic.

9-year-old girl shot by neighbor dies in her father’s arms – Her last words were “Dad, I’ve been killed”

By
Monica Pop
-

9-year-old girl named Felicia Kononchuk from Russia was shot in the head with a 12 caliber hunting rifle by her family’s neighbor, 33-year-old Vasily Dunets.

Before the shooting took place, Felicia posted a TikTok video explaining that she and her little brother were home alone as their father went to the shop to quickly grab something and the neighbor was knocking on their door without stopping.

“We have a neighbour here, drunk, knocking on our door, breaking it,” Felicia said in the video. “Shouting obscene words. I’m just scared… He is totally… I’m scared… My dad went to the shop. I don’t know what to do, he will just break our door now and that’s it. I’m very scared, my heart is beating… He’s been knocking for about an hour. It’s tough… My youngest brother just hid…”

Eventually, the banging on the door stopped, and Felicia’s father, Fyodor, returned home. Felicia felt relieved. Shortly after, however, someone knocked on the door and the girl thought it was her friend whom she was waiting to arrive. But just as she opened the door, drunk Vasily fired a a rain of bullets and shot Felicia in the head. The girl fell down and her last words were, “Dad, I’ve been killed.”

Speaking of the tragedy, Felicia’s father told The Sun: “I took her in my arms and shouted to my son and the repair workers to call an ambulance. My daughter died in my arms. When the ambulance arrived, I carried her to them but the doctors said that she had no chance to survive.”

Felicia was described as “so cheerful and bright” by her heartbroken mother Alena. Everyone who knew her said she was a vibrant girl loved by her family and her friends.

It has been reported that the family was in a good relationship with the killer neighbor until he started complaining of the noise caused by the workers who were doing some repairs in the house. Rumors are that Fyodor kicked Vasily during their scuffles a few days before. At the time, Fyodor was reported to have told the killer to go home and get some sleep as he was very drunk.

The killer has been arrested and is facing life in prison.

Rest in peace, Felicia. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family that is going through immense pain.

Body language experts claim that Meghan’s hand gestures during Oprah interview show change in her relationship with Harry

By
Monica Pop
-

From the very first moment the world learned of the relationship between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, the couple have been under the spotlight.

Starting from their glamorous wedding which was broadcasted and seen by more than 29.19 million viewers, to the birth of their son Archie Mountbatten-Windsor in 2019, to stepping down from their royal duties, the Sussex Royal’s every move has been closely followed by the media. That same media which “forced” them to leave the U.K. and move to the States.

When they announced their decision to step down from their royal duties, the spokesperson of Harry and Meghan said in a statement: “As evidenced by their work over the past year, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex remain committed to their duty and service to the U.K. and around the world, and have offered their continued support to the organisations they have represented regardless of official role.”

However, Queen Elizabeth herself had “written confirming that in stepping away from the work of the Royal Family, it is not possible to continue with the responsibilities and duties that come with a life of public service,” the announcement by the palace said. It added: “While all are saddened by their decision, the Duke and Duchess remain much loved members of the family.”

Last week, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex had their first big prime-time interview since splitting with the royal family when they sat opposite Oprah Winfrey. Many said the timing was not right as Harry’s grandfather, Prince Philip, is at the hospital for his longest stay so far.

Youtube/CBS

In the promo video of the interview released on Oprah’s YouTube channel, she asks Meghan: “Were you silent or were you silenced?” Harry is shown speaking of his late mother. And as we are all in anticipation of hearing what the couple had to say, a body language expert, Judi James, has a thing or two to say about Meghan’s hand gestures.

Speaking to The Mirror, James said: “I think when Meghan came to the UK, Harry very much saw himself in the role of overly protective husband that knew that all hell was going to break lose in terms of press and public interest, and was desperate to protect her – albeit that she presented herself as a very confident woman.” She also added how she believes that “the tide has completely changed” and it is now Meghan who has the role of a protector in the family.

“This hand gesture that you can see, he’s got his hand on the chair and she’s placed her hand on top,” she says. “That’s almost a maternal looking gesture, it’s though it’s being used for reassurance and to let him feed off her confidence.”

Youtube/CBS

Further, James says that Meghan seems more confident because she used to be an actress and is comfortable in front of the cameras, which clearly isn’t the case with Harry.

We can’t wait to watch the interview with one of the most famous couples in the entire world. I am sure you feel the same.

The news of the murder of a 6-year-old boy disturbed the country. Little James Robert Hutchinson was reported missing on Sunday and as millions of people who heard his mom’s pleas were praying for his safe return, investigators discovered that James was killed days before he went missing and it was his 29-year-old mother Brittany Gosney and her 42-year-old boyfriend Hamilton who did it.

James’ body was dumped in the Ohio River but it is believed that he was killed around 25 miles from the place.

“Upon further questioning of Brittany Gosney and her boyfriend James Hamilton, they now say that James was killed in Preble County a few days ago,” Middletown Police Chief David Birk said, according to WHIO7 News. “The child’s body was brought back to Middletown, where they live, and later put into the Ohio River.” 

The heavy rains and the snow melting made it difficult for investigators to determine the exact location of where James’ body was dumped. “The river is very high and treacherous, so we will not be disclosing the exact location in hopes of avoiding another tragic incident,” Birk said.

The mother and the boyfriend were both arrested. She is charged with murder, abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence. Her boyfriend is also charged with abuse of a corpse and tampering with evidence.

In the home where the couple lived there were two more children, but they have been taken away from them.

We are so sorry such a young and charming boy died in such a manner. Rest in peace little one.

“I stabbed my sister!” This is what the police at Manheim Township Police Department heard when ninth grader Claire E. Miller called 911 on February 22, 2021.

The officers arrived at the family home on Clayton Road in Manheim Township, Pennsylvania, to see 14-year-old Claire waiving at them as her hands were bloody. She then showed them where her sister was. The officers were shocked to see 19-year-old Helen Miller, who had cerebral palsy, lying on her back with a blood-stained pillow over her face. When they moved the pillow, they saw a knife stabbed in her neck, as reported by Lancaster Online.

According to the DA’s office, the murder took place in the night while the girls’ parents were sound asleep.

One of the neighbors, Sarah Delia, who didn’t know the family personally, described the incident as “shocking and tragic,” as per Fox 43. “It’s not the kind of thing we would expect in our neighborhood. It’s very quiet and peaceful,” she added.

Heather Adams, Lancaster County District Attorney, said via e-mail, “This certainly is an incredibly tragic and unusual case. Our sympathies are with this family as they try to cope with the impact of this crime. Investigators will continue to process and analyze evidence to determine the circumstances that led to the victim’s death.”

It has been reported that Claire was taken into custody and charged with first degree murder. She’s currently held without bail at the Lancaster County Prison.

The motive behind the killing remains unknown. “The investigators are going to be asking those types of questions,” Manheim Township Police Chief, Tom Rudzinski, told ABC 27 News. “Conducting those interviews of everybody that was involved, and trying to determine a timeline exactly what that would have lead to this awful event.”

Helen was receiving educational services from a school within the district. The spokesperson of the school offering those services said: “We were so saddened to learn of Helen’s tragic and unexpected passing. Our hearts go out to the family and friends of the Miller family. This is a devastating tragedy.”

Rest in peace, Helen.

When I stumble upon uplifting stories about young people who are doing all in their power to be the change they want to see in the world, my heart is full of respect. It is then that I realize that we shouldn’t worry about the future of this Earth.

Meet Aiden Knaus, a charming young man from Minnesota whom everyone loves. Besides spending time studying and hanging out with his friends, Aiden also cheers up the elderly at the local retirement home. The residents enjoy every second they spend around this loving boy. He makes their days a bit brighter, listens to their life stories, and charms them with his witty remarks. His mom says of him that he’s a “gift of gab,” and if you see the video below, you’ll learn why.

During his first year of volunteering, 13-year-old Aiden “spent more than 160 hours pushing veterans in their wheelchairs back and forth to therapy, the canteen and the chapel,” as reported by the Humankind. We have to say that’s pretty impressive.

Aiden’s mom, Tanya Hundeby, says, “I didn’t know that he could thrive in something like this. School’s been hard for him.”

Cute girl sings her boxer puppy a lullaby to sleep

Kids and dogs! Honestly, I can’t think of anything cuter than that. It’s a well known fact that dogs make great friends, but when it comes to kids, that relation is even more special.

Not only young children turn into better humans when they grow up with a furry pal by their side, but the dogs get to be spoiled too as they are surrounded by the most innocent and purest form of love. On top of that, they get to share a bunch of treats and lots of cuddles with their human siblings.

Four-year-old Marleigh and her four-legged companion Fiona love each other to the moon and back. Their days are filled with fun time and a very special activity that stole the hearts of many.

Namely, Fiona loves taking naps, and she does it in the most comfortable place possible, her sister’s arms. Little Marleigh rocks Fiona gently back and forth and even sings to her whenever she feels sleepy.

Luckily, the girl’s mom, Paige Jolley Bumgarner took a video of the two friends sharing a precious moment together and shared it for the rest of the world to see it.

The video starts with Marleigh singing the lyrics:

“Jesus loves me, this I know,
For the Bible tells me so
Little ones to him belong,
They are weak, but he is strong”

Fiona listens very carefully and enjoys Marleigh’s angelic voice.

The cutest thing is that the girl is aware she’s treating her dog the right way and could be heard saying: “I’m a good sister, mama.”

Her mom, who is obviously proud of her caring and loving daughter, answers: “You’re the best.”

Fiona isn’t just Marleigh’s pet, but she’s her bestie who gets all the love a young child can ever give to someone.

Fiona is now sound asleep, but Marleigh suddenly sneezes a couple of times and wakes her without wanting that. Sweet Fiona opens her eyes and pulls her head up, but once she realizes she’s still in her favorite person’s arms, she goes back to sleep.

Along with the cute video of these lovely friends, Paige wrote, “This is why this dog is so spoiled.”

It didn’t really come as a surprise that the video has been shared more than 600,000 times. People were quick to comment how the bond between the girl and the puppy triggered all of the right emotions in them. This is what one woman wrote: “This is so precious children can be taught to be good to fur babies although I think it came very natural with this little girl it definitely shows her parents have showered her with kindness and love❤️”

Another person added: “Oh how adorable is that just like a little mommy.”

Paige was touched by all the messages praising her daughter and her parenting, although she knows no one is perfect:

“While I am so grateful for these kind messages, the truth is I fail everyday. I fail the Lord and I fail Marleigh. I don’t feel worthy of all these sweet comments but I do know we have taught Marleigh we love everyone just like Jesus does. We hope she continues to show Jesus’ love the rest of her life. ❤️❤️ Thank you all again for all your sweet messages and comments!” Paige wrote.

Dance group performs mesmerizing human kaleidoscope routine to “Bohemian Rhapsody”

Simultaneous dance performances have always been my favorite. Watching a group of people moving with incredible precision and in a perfect harmony is pretty mesmerizing. On top of that, it takes a lot of time and effort to master such routines. 

Black Diamonds are a Drill Dance team whose latest performance has gone viral and took a lot of breaths away. At first glance, these team resembles that of cheerleaders, but they are far from that. Instead of jumping and performing different stunts, Drill Dancers move at the same time throughout most of the routine. 

Wearing matching outfits consisting of half black and half colored print and holding neon orange props with huge feathers, they opted for Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody” and stole many hearts. 

What Black Diamonds offered is so precise and unique that they did a great job and actually won the Australian National Championship. 

Their drill moves combined with Dance/Prop section brought Freddie’s lyrics to life. Honestly, we don’t believe they could have chosen a better piece of music than this one. 

At one moment, the group resembles a silhouette which forms a line and performs a sequence that reminds us of a mirror reflection. Next, they move further from one another and pretend their feathers to be their skirts. 

All the flawless dance sequences that Black Diamond pulled off in front of the staring eyes of the audience made them the stars of the competition. What’s most, they truly did justice to the everlasting piece of music that is still regarded one of the greatest rock hits of all time. 

These ladies showed talent, impeccable skills, and absolute confidence. It sure took them a lot of time and energy to excel the choreography, but the outcome was all worth it. They didn’t only end up winning the first prize, but people’s admiration as well.

As the melody comes to an end, the group forms what looks like a huge rotating flower, and the sight is just mesmerizing. This truly is a dance routine to remember, we are sure you don’t want to miss it. 

Police officer shot dead after argument over a face mask escalated during a high school basketball game

Tulane University police officer and a reserve deputy constable Martinus Mitchum was shot dead on Friday after an argument over a mask escalated during a basketball match in New Orleans.

Mitchum worked as a security during the high school basketball game when the shooter, later identified as John Shallerhorn, was trying to enter the place without a mask. After he was confronted by one of the school staff members, he started acting violently.

Our deepest condolences to the family, friends, and coworkers of Cpl. M. Mitchum. #tulaneu #tulaneemergency

Posted by Tulane University Police Department on Saturday, 27 February 2021

Officer Mitchum tried to intervene and brought Shallerhorn outside, but it was then that the suspect pulled out a gun and shot Mitchum in the chest. He was rushed to the hospital but nothing could be done. The officer was pronounced dead.

One of Officer Mitchum’s long time friends, Jason Bertrand, spoke to Khan saying, “I feel like Mitch saved lives last night because we don’t know what that gentleman really was coming in there to do. There was kids in there, families in there. What could you be going into a high basketball with a gun?”

Before shooting Officer Mitchum, Shallerhorn robbed a man outside the school and is now facing charges of armed robbery and first-degree murder of a police officer. If found guilty, he will likely serve a life in prison and even a death penalty.

Officer Mitchum died a hero. May he rest in peace.

Toddler dies in agony after her parents drench her in boiling water for soiled diaper

A two-year-old girl named Maddilyn-Rose Stokes was forced to suffer unbearable pain after her parents punished her for soiling her diaper by putting her in boiling water. The injuries the girl sustained were so severe that she died five days after she was cruelly hurt.

The incident took place on May 20, 2017, but the parents were only given prison time this year.

Maddilyn-Rose was reported to had died in agony as her untreated injuries were third degree burns which her parents, Shane David Stokes, 33, and Nicole Betty Moore, 26, tried to heal with aloe vera gel and bandages. When paramedics arrived in the family’s home, Maddilyn-Rose was unconscious. She was taken to the hospital but died shortly after.

Authorities who also arrived at the scene found bloody bandages and mattresses all over the place. “She would have been in misery and pain, unable to walk,” prosecutor Sarah Farnden told the court. “She would have been dehydrated and weak before becoming delirious and falling unconscious before going into cardiac arrest.”

According to the medical reports, the dad had given poor Maddilyn-Rose antidepressants so that she wouldn’t scream. The mother’s lawyers claimed she didn’t hurt her daughter and even considered calling an ambulance.

Eventually, both Moore and Stokes pleaded guilty and were sentenced to nine years and six months and eleven years respectively.

During their sentencing, Judge David Jackson said the toddler’s death was “dreadful and beyond tragic.” He also said, “Your concerns were for yourselves, at your daughter’s expense – it cost your daughter’s life. The greatest tragedy is that had you taken her promptly to hospital, called triple zero, her life would have been saved and she would have received proper pain relief. She would not have had to endure almost five days of excruciating pain suffered by the victim of untreated and serious burns – you both bear full responsibility.”

Many believe that these two, who don’t even deserve to be called a mother and a father, should have been sentenced to life in prison.

Rest in peace, Maddilyn-Rose.
