Trucker slams the brakes when he spots it on the roadside. Now the police are begging for help

Truck drivers spend a great deal of time behind the wheel and stumble upon many eye-catching sights along the way. Unfortunately, they aren’t always pleasant ones. Recently, a trucker was heading towards Cortland, New York, when he spotted something unusual. A person driving dark blue Dodge Durango threw two dogs out of the vehicle before leaving the spot.

It was the most horrendous act of cruelty this truck driver has ever seen. Neither he, nor us can ever understand how someone can be so cold hearted. Luckily, this kind man pulled his truck over and called the police. One of the canines didn’t suffer any serious injuries, while the other one, unfortunately, had to have one of his legs amputated.

“These animals have been through a lot, and people need to understand that this is not OK,” said Amberly Ondria, a shelter manager at the Broome County Humane Society. “This is not something that should be done.” Adam, the truck driver, feels the same way.

The first responders came at the scene and tried to track the dogs’ owner down, but he or she was already gone and obviously didn’t plan on getting the poor creatures back home. The dogs were later named Trooper and Adam, after the men who first came to their help.

Trooper, the dog who lost a leg and is believed to be between 6 and 8 years old, already feels better. He manages to get around using his three legs.

“Although a bit unsteady, and only moving a short distance, it is very obvious that he is determined,” The Humane Society posted on Facebook. The other dog is thought to be around 1 year old.

“Thank you to EVERYONE for your prayers, kind words, generous donations and sharing this story!” The Humane Society continued. “It is because of all of you that we can get Trooper and Adam the level and quality of care that they need and deserve. Words cannot describe how tremendous people are and how everyone is rallying for these dogs!”

“And Adam [the trucker] has expressed his wishes of adopting both of them. He has already proven he has a big heart and these pups would have an amazing life with him. Please let that happen too.”

The organization is sharing Adam and Trooper’s story in hopes it would reach someone who has information on the neglectful owner. One person wrote, “I sincerely hope the dash cam of Adam’s truck can bring justice for these poor babies.”

The best thing is that Adam, the truck driver, is willing to adopt both the dogs. If that happens, we can rest assured they will have an amazing life ahead of them.

School stumbles upon chalkboards from 1917 during renovation, perfectly preserved lessons provide rare look into past.

Emerson High School in Oklahoma City is in the focus of the news with their interesting and fascinating discovery. The regular renovation and modernisation of the classrooms of this high school uncovered an amazing well-preserved objects. These object give us a chance to see how people in the past have been teaching and studying.

The school purchased modern smart  boards in order to replace the old chalkboards in the classrooms. While the workers were removing the old chalkboard, they uncovered old well-preserved chalkboards. The old ones would have been thrown away if the workers didn’t see the drawings and the writing on the board.  The words and drawing were done nearly a hundred years ago, in 1917. This fascinated everyone.  

The condition of the writing and the drawings are almost perfect. One part shows the calendar, specifically December 1917.

Another part of the boards is featuring a scene of Thanksgiving Day.

The English teacher Cinthea Comer says:

“It was so eerie because the colors were so vibrant, it looked like it was drawn the same day. To know that it was drawn 100 years ago… it’s like you’re going into a looking glass into the past.”

Sherry Kishore, the Principal, says that she likes the discovery, not only because of the colours and the well-preserved writing, but also because it shows some very old teaching techniques.

One example of the outdated teaching technique is this wheel of multiplication, which is not used for decades.

Besides that, there is a modification of the Pledge of Allegiance as well.

It says:

“I give my head, my heart, and my life to my God and One nation indivisible with justice for all.”

Interestingly, one corner of the board is dedicated to hygiene. Among the things it says “My Rules To Keep Clean” with tips like “Take my bath often” and “Wash my teeth.”

All of these old techniques were seen by the Principal’s mother. This 85-year-old lady recognized some of the techniques and that brought good memories from her childhood. Her daughter says:

“She just stood there and cried. She said it was exactly like her classroom was when she was going to school.”

Even though these techniques and writings were done in 1917, Kishore’s mother might have still been using the same, some 10 years later.

The school and the city are negotiating and planning to preserve the boards for the future generations.

Pastor Urges Families to Make Surprise Visits to Nursing Homes After 80-Year-Old Mom Is Found Alone Slumped Over a Pillow

People turn to nursing homes when they have no other options left. These places are designed to help and provide the elderly people enough comfort, easy life, and constant health care. One won’t expect mistreating or negligence of the residents by the staff.

The story of Esther Brown, an 80-year old lady from Ohio gives a different picture about the nursing homes.

Esther was a patient in Altercare Nobles Pond in Canton. Her family’s pastor and her son James decided to visit her unannounced one day. What they saw was a total shock for the whole family.

When they got in the private rooms, they found Esther totally alone. This wouldn’t be strange if it wasn’t for her position. Her head was resting on a pillow on the desk and she was starting to choke on her own saliva. This unbelievable scene disturbed the family.

Julia Wiggins, the pastor, made two photos of Esther. She used these photos to convince the other families to check on their loved ones and see if they are in good hands. She also used the photos to show the world what’s really going on in the Altercare Nobles Pond.

Her Facebook post also explains that after the unexpected visit, Esther’s clothes were changed and she was moved into a private room.

Julia goes into details. The unannounced visit was intended to be a surprise for Esther, but the surprise was the other way around. According to Julia, when they entered the facility, they saw something weird in the nurses’ station. Believing that it was a cat, they ignored it for a moment.

However, when they got nearer, they saw Esther choking on her saliva. They started yelling and shouting, but for 10 minutes no one appeared in the station.

Esther recognized her son’s voice and that gave her strength to move a bit. They immediately started helping the lady.

This shocking event made these people call the other families to check on their beloved ones. And they did, as many families that night came to Altercare Nobles Pond.

Her post and photos ended up in the Ohio Department of Health and Ohio Department of Aging. Some of the workers tried to justify the situation by claiming that many dementia patients have enough strength, so ending up in a situation like that may not be surprising.

Nevertheless, the family filed a complaint against Altercare Nobles Pond. The investigation is ongoing. 

3 Boys Say Goodbye To Marine Dad Diagnosed With Brain Tumor Weeks After Learning Of Wife’s Pregnancy

The journey we call life is a never ending mixture of beautiful moments worth cherishing, as well as challenges and obstacles that stand on our way to happiness. We do our best to overcome the difficulties. Sometimes, we end up winners, but other times, the ordeals we have to go through and the battles we have to fight are simply too challenging to handle.

The life of U.S Marine Jason Shipmon and his wife Amanda resembled a fairy tale. The lovebirds met back in 2004, and it only took six weeks for them to be certain how they should spend their eternity together. During the ten years of marriage, the couple had to part several times because of Jason’s deployment, but that was the only time they were separated.

However, their ideal life was cut short after they learned the devastating news that Jason had cancer. This happened while Amanda was pregnant with their third child. The doctor’s prognosis were that he had only a few years left to live. However, neither Jason, nor Amanda ever lost hope. Thanks to all the love and encouragement, as well as the treatments involving radiation and chemotherapy, Jason could live past the prognosis.

WE KIND OF HAD PASSED THAT FIVE-YEAR MARK AND WERE JUST VERY HOPEFUL THAT MAYBE HE WAS THAT SMALL PERCENTAGE THAT IT WOULDN’T COME BACK,” AMANDA TOLD THE CASPER STAR TRIBUNE. “BUT WE ALWAYS KNEW THAT THE ODDS OF IT COMING BACK WERE VERY HIGH.

Sadly, the cancer returned, and the family was devastated.

Amanda Shipton said on Facebook:

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”
‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭4:7‬ ‭

Last night my sweet husband, the love of my life left this earth to go home. He fought so hard for so long for me and our precious boys.

My heart is broken, I feel lost. I look in the faces of our boys and my heart breaks even more, but I feel a little less lost. They are my why. They will give me a strength to carry on.

“A true love story never ends.” Truer words could not be spoken. We wrote a beautiful love story. He made me happier than I even knew I could be and the gift of his love is the greatest gift I have ever known. It will continue to comfort me and carry me on.

My boys will always have the gift of waking each morning having called this man “daddy” and knowing their dad was a hero in so many ways but especially to us.

His fight was good and he has finished his race.

Now we must continue on ours. One day at a time. One step at a time.

Jason was a brave man who did so much for his country. He fought many wars and battles, but he couldn’t win the one with the cancer. He will always be remembered as a loving father and a hero. Rest in peace.

Teacher forces 8-year-old to pee in class, makes him wear soiled clothes

People from all over the country are left outraged because of the shocking incident that took place at the Manhattan Place Elementary school. According to the Mongol family, their 8-year-old son was forced to urinate into the trash can, in the middle of the classroom, while his classmates were watching. This left the boy traumatized and an easy target for bullies.

We all agree how teachers don’t have it easy, and dealing with so many students and their wishes may be draining, but it can never be an excuse for such horrendous behavior towards this poor boy. At the end of the day, it’s teachers’ responsibility to find a way on how to deal with the students wanting to use the bathroom too often.

In the process, the boy soiled his pants and was made to cover himself in a plastic garbage bag. His family believes they are dealing with the teacher from Hell, and we agree how what this boy had to go through is unspeakable.

“My child did not deserve this — no child deserves to be treated this way,” mother Sonia Mongol said in tears.

The mother further explains how the incident took place after her son asked his teacher numerous times to be allowed to use the bathroom, to which he got no as an answer. After this, the teacher told him to pee into the garbage can.

“Why would you make a child expose himself in front of the classroom, and then put a garbage bag over him when he comes to you for help? Why would you treat a child that way?” mother Sonia said.

To make things worse, no one alerted the parents of their son’s ordeal and the boy had to stay covered in the garbage bag until the end of the school day.

Latricia Mitchell, a retired teacher, explains how sometimes students ask for a permission to use the bathroom without really feeling the need to do so. Instead, they see it as a way to get out of the classroom and take a short walk around the school’s halls. However, she says how she supports the parents and can’t believe how a teacher could treat a student that way. She fully supports the Mongol family.

“Sometimes we don’t allow the children to go to the bathroom because they go all the time,” she said. “But after they ask you twice, you should realize that something is going on.”

Sonia is worried that her son won’t easily forget this incident that is very likely to hunt him in the years to come.

We really hope that the boy’s family would be able to make this cruel teacher pay for what they did. At the time being, the incident is under investigation by the school authorities.


Texas teen complains of stomach ache at school, dies two hours later

Parents want nothing less than happiness and health for their kids. Even small kids’ problems make them worried and uneasy. When something really bad and serious happens to their kids, the pain is just too great.
Josh Gray’s parents experienced that. Their lives turned into nightmare in just few hours. The unexpected ruined their lives and visions for bright future.

Josh was 17 years old and a student at Dawson High School in Pearland, Texas. One day he felt a sharp pain in his stomach and he immediately went to see the doctor.

However, what was supposed to be a regular stomach ache, turned out to be something very serious with deadly outcome.

Josh didn’t win the battle.

In a period of just two hours since the moment he got into the doctor’s office, this healthy and young man suffered a deadly artery rapture. The artery was running to his pancreas and it was too late to stop the bleeding. Josh’s life ended very fast and too young.

“He went from going to school yesterday morning — normal day, happy — to having a stomach ache, to within two hours not being with us anymore.”

This tragedy hit his friends and schoolmates. The sudden and premature death touched almost everyone who knew Josh. Even though he and his friends were planning a trip, everyone participated in his memory.

His friends’ shock was evident. Some of their comments are:

“Josh loved everyone for who they were.” says his friend Austin, and he goes on:

“I’m loud and obnoxious; he loved that about me. I mean, he loved all of us for exactly who we were. And that was the best part about being with Josh; you could be you.”

In addition to that, his closest ones set up a fund rising page. So far they have collected more than $35.000. Part of the sum will be used to cover Josh funeral expenses, and the rest will be used to fund finding and curing rare underlying illnesses. The fund rising page says:

It is with a heavy heart and in complete shock that the friends and family of Josh try and process his passing. The Gray family is always the first to intercede and offer support the second someone they love is in need. Well, now it’s our turn. While there is nothing that anyone can say or do to make this hurt any less, we would like to open this account for people to give anything they can so that this family has one less thing to think about during this time.”

This sudden death affected his family and friends greatly. To lose a perfectly normal healthy young man is a tragedy of enormous proportions. We can only imagine the pain and sorrow that his mother and father feel. Our prayers are with the family!

200 Amish men lift barn with bare hands and move it to new location

Utterly devoted to their technology-free lifestyle and their religious beliefs, the Amish community is really fascinating. These people do life the old-fashioned way and would avoid modern appliances at any cost. They travel by horses and carriages and mainly eat the food they grow themselves.

The Amish families are large and they live by the notion of being there for their relatives and their community. They are raised in the spirit of stepping in for their neighbor in need, even if it means moving his barn from one place to another bare hands.

If you think you read that wrong, well, you didn’t. A group of around 200 men gathered together to lift a whole barn from the ground to its new location. This is fascinating indeed. One may say how this could be easily done using huge trucks and rails and dollies, but the Amish would never rely on technology because they know how to solve any problem without it.

The amazing footage was taken at the Joseph Hochstetler’s Farm in Ohio.

Resembling a hardworking colony of ants, they lifted the object and relocated it around 150 feet away. These amazing men showed the world how nothing is impossible when a group of people joins forces.

The most impressive part of all is that this only took them a couple of minutes to finish.

Some may say how the Amish’s way of living could be facilitated if they are more open-minded towards the new inventions and the recent technologies. However, that goes against their religious beliefs, and to be honest, it looks like they don’t even need mobile phones, computers, or even electricity, because the way they live allows them to be more focused on one another and on the well-being of the whole community.

Take a look at the fascinating act of moving the barn in the video below.

Mom mocked for “spoiling” baby with Down’s syndrome – writes amazing letter

Judging people without even knowing them is very often rude and annoying. Even if we know the people with all their bad and good sides, we do not have the right to tell them how to live their live and what thing to do.

Giving advice is the thing we can do instead of judging their actions, no matter we agree with them or not. However, in order to give a piece of advice you have to know, or experience, the problems they are facing with.

Nevertheless, people do the opposite thing. They judge and give advice even when they don’t know the actual problem. This is happening to Kelly Dirkes on regular basis.

Kelly and her husband decided to adopt two kids with Down’s Syndrome. They try to provide to these two kids as much comfortable life as they can. However, people often put them in strange situations.

One situation like this was when Kelly was shopping in the store while carrying the kids in baby carrier. While she was looking for the products she needed, a woman stopped her  and tried to give her a ‘free piece of advice’.

The  woman told her that she should stop carrying them around in baby carrier because that will not make the kids independent. This shocked Kelly and left her speechless. With no words and frustrated, Kelly took her time and decided not to respond to the woman immediately.

Kelly answered the woman, and all other people who judge her, by writing a letter. Kelly wrote the letter when she got home. This powerful letter is fantastic.

“Dear Woman in Target-“it starts.

“I’ve heard it before, you know. That I “spoil that baby”. You were convinced that she’d never learn to be “independent”. I smiled at you, kissed her head, and continued my shopping.

If you only knew what I know.

If you only knew how she spent the first ten months of her life utterly alone inside a sterile metal crib, with nothing to comfort her other than sucking her fingers.

If you only knew what her face looked like the moment her orphanage caregiver handed her to me to cradle for the very first time–fleeting moments of serenity commingled with sheer terror. No one had ever held her that way before, and she had no idea what she was supposed to do.

If you only knew that she would lay in her crib after waking and never cry–because up until now, no one would respond.

If you only knew that anxiety was a standard part of her day, along with banging her head on her crib rails and rocking herself for sensory input and comfort.

If you only knew that that baby in the carrier is heartbreakingly “independent” –and how we will spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years trying to override the part of her brain that screams “trauma” and “not safe”.

If you only knew what I know.

If you only knew that that baby now whimpers when she’s put down instead of when she is picked up.

If you only knew that that baby “sings” at the top of her lungs in the mornings and after her nap, because she knows that her chatter will bring someone to lift her out of her crib and change her diaper.

If you only knew that that baby rocks to sleep in her Mama’s or her Papa’s arms instead of rocking herself.

If you only knew that that baby made everyone cry the day she reached out for comfort, totally unprompted.

If you only knew what I know.

“Spoiling that baby” is the most important job I will ever have, and it is a privilege. I will carry her for a little while longer–or as long as she’ll let me–because she is learning that she is safe. That she belongs. That she is loved.

If you only knew…”

You cannot judge people and tell them what to do if you have no idea what’s going on in their lives. You have to feel or experience the problems they are facing with, and even then, a simple piece of advice would be more than enough.

Judging people hurts, it makes them less self-confident. We do not want to do that, since everyone deserves to make decisions according to their believes of what’re the best actions to be taken.

What’s you opinion on this? Would you do the same thing? 

Couple lives in oldest log cabin in America

In 1968, Harry and Doris Rink were in a search of a house for their family. Their mission was completed when they bought a log cabin in Greenwich Township in New Jersey. However, instead of buying just a regular house, the couple actually purchased a significant historical landmark. They got the oldest log cabin in the USA.

The cabin, named Nothnagle Log House, was built in 1640. The structure was expanded in 1730, and another reconstruction was done in 1900. This log house is mainly made of oak logs. What’s even more significant, the house is nearby Fort Billings, the famous Revolutionary War landmark. The records now show that the house is the oldest log cabin in the country and it’s older than the county itself.

Today the Rinks enjoy their lives in this unique place. They do not hesitate to organize visiting tours around the property and show to the people the value of this fascinating place. Nevertheless, since they are old, Harry being 88 and Doris 75 years old, the owners of the log started thinking about the future of the cabin after their death.

The Risks started looking for the perfect buyer of the log cabin. Having in mind the important historic value of the house, they have some additional conditions for the future purchaser. The couple hopes that the future owner of the log cabin should take care of the whole property and keep the authenticity of the log cabin.

In the meantime, the couple keeps organizing visiting tours. Every year thousands of people come and see the house. They can see how was people’s life 300 years ago. They see rare everyday objects and living areas equipped with unique furniture.

The house is estimated at a price of $2.9 million. However, the future purchaser might give more than 2.9 million because this price does not include the artefacts of the house. As Christina Huang, a local realtor, says:

“Because of all the artefacts and antiques that come with the house, it is probably worth well over $2.9 million.”

That’s quite true. The artefacts of the house are mostly from 17th and 18th century. These pieces of furniture, like chairs, tables or chests,  are very rare and provide excellent opportunity to see old way of living.

Additionally, the house contains some valuable and rare household items. There are some rare and old dishware, plates, hats and bottles. The couple finds artefacts on the property on regular basis. Regarding this, Doris explains:

“A lot of things that were buried many years ago have wound up turning up in the yard. Every single item in the cabin is an artefact or antique. There is nothing else out there like this place.”

The Rinks want to preserve the unique architecture and the true historic layout of the log cabin. They maintain the house for years in order to keep the original look of the cabin.

In order to keep the authenticity of the house, they use authentic building techniques. They use clay and mud as building materials. They also fix the cracks in the log. The house has given them a rare opportunity to feel the
18th century lifestyle.

Doris explains:

“Knowing the history of their day-to-day survival really makes me grateful that we have the life that we have now. I think our visitors take a step back in time when they enter our house. When they take a step in here, it’s like they’re in a different world. They block out everything else that’s going on in their lives.”

The visit of the house is free of charge. Do not miss this opportunity to experience centuries old lifestyle. If you can’t visit the place, enjoy the video below.

Proud dad receives amazing surprise from stranger

Being a parent means sacrificing a lot for the well-being of your children. But once you see how they turn into noble and successful people, you realize that it’s all worth it. Their accomplishments, such as graduating from high school or college, make you proud.

Rob Edwards was over the moon because of his son’s graduation. This event made him so happy that he felt the urge to share the good news with those around him, and that included one perfect stranger who made an impact in his life.

Only a couple of days before Cole’s graduation ceremony took place, Rob headed to the local bank to get some money, and that’s when he saw this lady who was about to enter the place. Rob offered her his spot at the queue saying, “By all means go in front of me. Today my son graduates. I’m slowing down and want to savor every minute.”

As they were both waiting in line, they started talking about their children and how challenging it was to have a teenager under the roof. Their conversation was interrupted by the bank’s clerk who asked the lady to take her turn. Once she left the place, Rob got near the counter and reached for his wallet when he noticed an envelope inside his pocket. This was a bit strange because he knew that piece of paper wasn’t there before.

Once he got his business at the bank done, he was eager to see what that tiny envelope held inside. After he opened it, he felt completely shocked and puzzled. There was a $50 bill inside. Rob knew it was the lady he spoke to who put the money in his pocket. But what he didn’t know was why she did it. He decided to get to her and ask her why would she be so generous to someone she just met.

When he got out of the bank, the lady was still in her car so he rushed to her and told her how he couldn’t accept the money, to which she replied:

“When you talk about your boy, YOU GLOW. You’re a blessing to him, I want to bless him, too!”

Her words touched Rob to the core. He realized how his son was the best thing that had happened to him. He was very proud of him and was happy others could see it.

“I don’t know her name; I’ve never seen her before. But I will never forget her love,” the dad declared. “I asked to take a picture with her. And hugged her neck.”

“We need more of this in the world today. Not the money. But kindness. I hugged a complete stranger today. My son who I love with all my heart was shown love. Many of you who know me know what I believe in. Sounds kinda familiar don’t it. It warms the father’s heart to love the son. I am blessed.”

Cole is very lucky to be having a loving father like Rob who appreciates the kindness other people show to him. By sharing the story about that lady from the bank he sends a message that an act of kindness really goes a long way and even makes huge impact in people’s lives.

Share the kindness and spread the love, because that’s the only possible way to make this world a happier place.

Five boys perform impressive cover from The Greatest Showman

You may either love it or hate it, but no one who’s ever seen it or heard of it is indifferent towards what we believe is a real masterpiece in the world of music and film. Wonder what we are talking about? The musical that teaches us that no dream is too big to be fulfilled. If your first thought is The Greatest Showman, than you are guessing right. Hugh Jackman portrays the role of P.T. Barnum, a visionary who started from scratch and ended up on the top, presenting to the world The Greatest Show. This man put no effort in wiping out the line that stands between reality and fantasy. Thirsty for innovation and willing to give people a bit of the magic he had in himself, he made his Barnum & Bailey Circus a synonym for fun and unforgettable spectacles.

Despite the casts’ incredible acting that added to the uniqueness of this piece of musical, the numerous names from the music industry who filled the role of the music performers captivated the audience’s attention. Soon after the movie was released, the songs of the soundtrack were sang by many other musicians and amateurs, and were performed during talent shows, and many school performances. One of them, however, stole our hearts. Five young boys took the stage and let their stunning vocals loose while the melody of “A Million Dreams” filled the air.

It takes a lot of self-confidence in order to performed this song the way these boys do it. It’s amazing how they resemble the original so much and it’s apparent they’ve spent numerous hours practicing, but the final result is definitely worth it. Their age didn’t stop them from delivering a breathtaking show while doing justice to the grace and awe of the melody.

No stage fright, just a group of young kids with out-of-this-world musical talent.

The sweet voices blend in a perfect harmony. Looking at them and listening to what they had to offer is simply inspiring. Their parents have to be really proud of their boys’ skills and achievement. Following P.T. Barnum’s example, they showed everyone around how no task is too challenging if you put your heart in its execution.

Take a look at the pleasant performance and enjoy!

Man stands with sign for hours to find lost dog’s owner

Even though there are a lot of people who would just turn their head on the other side when they see an animal out on the street all alone and scared, there are those individuals like Jason Gasparik who’d do anything in their power to help the confused creature.

On March 1, as this guy was walking by the post office in Charlotte, he took a notice of a chocolate Labrador who was obviously frightened and needed a helping hand. Without having any second thoughts, Gasparik took it home and was determined to track the dog’s owner down. The Lab was in a good shape so he assumed whoever owned her was probably losing their mind over where their pet could be.

Gasparik took it to social media to ask whether someone could recognize this sweet chocolate Lab, but to no avail. He then got this idea of taking her to a vet’s and see whether she was micro-chipped. When the vet told Gasparik she was, he immediately called the number. But as it turned out, he got to speak to a breeder from Pennsylvania who sold the dog to someone in Charlotte years ago. That meant the search wasn’t owner yet.

The guy then decided to do things the old-fashioned way. He printed a bunch of flyers with Roxy’s picture asking whether someone knew her. As he didn’t get any calls, he and Roxy waited at the busiest street corner hoping her owner would just pop out and take her home.

It turned out Gasparik’s flyers were the right thing to do as they helped reach Roxy’s owner Sam. The man was driving around asking people whether they have seen a chocolate Lab when a woman told him how she has noticed a flyer of a dog matching the description.

Roxy’s real name was Indy and she was finally reunited with her family. As for Gasparik, he grew so fond of the dog that he offered to take her on regular walks. He also updated her microchip information.

Gasparik is indeed the best fellow ever. This world definitely needs more people like him.

Morgan Freeman has converted his 124 acre ranch into a giant sanctuary to help save the bee population

Apparently, science stands behind the love and affection we all have for our favorite Hollywood man, magnificent Morgan Freeman. Despite his unbeatable acting skills, this filmmaker’s voice is what makes us fall for him any time he appears on the screen. According to some scientists, the deepness of his vocal gives people impression of integrity, competence and physical power.

This time, he’s stealing our hearts and attention with his new hobby. As it turns out, Freeman became a beekeeper and we can’t be more glad. This speaks a lot about him as a person concerned for the well-being of our planet who is willing to turn his pretty huge ranch into a bee sanctuary. He believes how this decision would contribute to the process of reviving the bee population.

The importance of the bees for us as humans and for the planet is immense. They help provide large portions of the food we consume on a daily basis and have a great role in the balance of the ecosystem.
Bees are responsible for pollinating about one-sixth of the flowering plant species worldwide and approximately 400 different agricultural types of plant. This means that without them, at least one-third of the food we eat will no longer be available and our plates would look totally different.

The sad and pretty much concerning reality is that the number of bees is decreasing steadily.

Jodi Monelle, the founder and the CEO of LIVEKINDLY says how “The National Resources Defense Council (NRDC) states that “Researchers are calling the mass disappearance ‘Colony Collapse Disorder’” and that “The number of hives in the United States is now at its lowest point in the past 50 years. Whilst researchers are still theorizing the main cause of colony collapses, it is widely recognized that environmental damage is having a hugely negative impact on their (very delicate) ecosystem.”

Besides the highly nutritious honey they provide us with, bees are extremely important factor when it comes to feeding other living organisms, which means that without them, the planet will lose birds, mice, squirrels, and other animals.

It is why projects as that of Morgan Freeman are essential for helping keep the bees alive. He first spoke of this new hobby of his during Jimmy Fallon’s show back in 2014. He talked what it feels like to be around these precious pollinators and how skillful he’s become around them. His Mississippi ranch of 124-acre is now a bee paradise full of fruit trees, clover, magnolia trees, and lavender.

He started all this by importing 26 hives full of bees from Arkansas that he fed sugar water.

This is what he had to say:

“There is a concerted effort for bringing bees back onto the planet…We do not realize that they are the foundation, I think, of the growth of the planet, the vegetation…I have a lot of flowering things, and I have a gardener too.

“As she takes care of the bees too, all she does is figure out, ‘OK, what would they like to have?’, so we have got acres and acres of clover, and we have some planting stuff like lavender, I have got like, maybe 140 magnolia trees, big blossoms.”

“I have not ever used the beekeeping hat with my bees. They haven’t stung me yet, as right now I am not trying to harvest honey or anything, but I just feed them…I also think that they understand, ‘Hey, don’t bother this guy, he’s got sugar water here.”

Although what individuals like Morgan Freeman do for the sake of preserving as much bees as possible is extraordinary, it’s up to each and every one of us to finally start appreciating the hard work of these tiny insects and do our best to provide them with conditions for completing their mission, and that’s keeping the environment and people alive.

Drag queen performs ‘Baby Shark’ for toddler at drag brunch

Undoubtedly, ‘Baby Shark’ is one of the most popular kid’s song of all times. The song has been played and sang by many, including adults and kids. The catchy rhythm and the simple lyrics make the song addictive.

The song’s popularity is enormous. ‘Baby Shark’ can be found on all children’s TV programmes, YouTube channels and it was even on the Billboard Hot 100.

However, you have never witnessed the song being performed during a brunch! What’s even more unusual, the song is performed by a drag queen!

Admit it, a combination that cannot be seen every day!

The restaurant Talde in Jersey City is the location where this performance happened. Parents took their toddlers for brunch in order to spend some quality time together. And, they did!

The restaurant Talde is the working place of the drag queen Marti Gould Cummings. He prepared quite a show for the kids. He explains:

“We decided to do a ‘drag roulette,’ where the audience picks a bunch of songs for us to perform at random,” Cummings explained. “I asked the little boy what he wanted to see performed and he asked for ‘Baby Shark.’ The DJ quickly found the song online, and we added it to the playlist for him.”

Everyone had a great time. Almost all of the guests clasped and the kids were more than happy to hear their favourite song in live. The ordinary day turned out to be a show to remember.

A video recording was uploaded on the Internet of this unexpected show. With more than 650,000 views, the show is obviously very amusing even for the people who weren’t  present in the restaurant.

“So many people have responded to the video with so much love,” said Cummings. “The internet can be such a toilet for negative, toxic behavior and misinformation, so it feels incredible to be part of this one moment that is using the internet to spread so much love and joy.”

As it is expected, some people do not agree with bringing kids to a show of that type. To this, Cummings says:

“Anyone who thinks drag isn’t for children is wrong,” Cummings said. “Drag is expression, and children are such judgment-free beings; they don’t really care what you’re wearing, just what you’re performing.”

He also adds:

“It would be nice if us adults could let the child inside of us out for a little bit, so maybe we could all be a little more accepting of others ourselves.”

Play the video and see what kind the fun they had together.


Video: Heartwarming moment little girl sings sweet song to her great-grandmother

It has been scientifically proven how spending more time around the grandchildren results in increased life span of the grandmas and grandpas. This is something the parents of little Sophie know all too well and they make sure their little one spends some quality time with the elderly family members.

Sweet Sophie first met her great-grandma back in 2015 and the two became practically inseparable ever since. Her mom and dad weren’t really sure how both their daughter and the great-granny would react when they see each other for the first time because the old lady suffered from dementia. But it turned out, introducing them to one another was the best thing they could do.

Since then, Sophie visited her great-grandma who lived in Lowestoft, United Kingdom, numerous time and they had so much fun together that the videos of their unique encounters were shared with the whole world.

The moment Sophie saw the sweet lady, she got closer and started singing to her while the two snuggled into each other. The air in the room was filled with the lovely voice and the lyrics of the song “You Are My Sunshine.” This really was a moment to cherish and to remember.

“Sophie 1st visit to her great nana ( who has suffered dementia) and grandad,” Miller wrotein August 2015. “We were worried what her reaction would be but what happen next surprised us.”

Yvonne Miller, Sophie’s grandma, was the one taking the videos they later shared on the social media. People who got to see them agree how this is the right way of raising a child, by teaching them how to love and respect the elderly.

Unfortunately, the great-grandma passed in October, 2017, but the videos are there to remind little Sophie of the special place this lady had in her heart and in her life while growing up.

“Am sad to say that our Mam/nana and great-nana has passed away yesterday morning,” Yvonne Miller wrote in the caption on Oct. 11, 2017.

“My heart breaks that we only missed her passing by a few minutes but I think that’s what she wanted.”

“She suffered with dementia the last couple of years. She now can rest in peace. She taught me so much on how to be a good mother and now a good nana,” Miller wrote.

“She was a strong women in every way and I looked up to her so much. Her quirky personality will live through us all and she will be missed by all her family and everyone that knew and loved her ❤❤❤.”

We are certain that the last days of this great-grandma’s life were filled with happiness. At least she knew she was loved and cared for thanks to the girl with a big heart and her family who taught her to respect her grandparents.

Ellen Surprises Teacher With a Generous Gift

Brantley School District is located in one of the poorest counties of Georgia. This means the school and the students struggle with the shortage of finances and resources for proper functioning. The school motto  ‘Reach every student, every day’ is tightly connected to the school’s difficult situation.

The message of the school reached Ashlyn and Brent, a married local couple. They live near the school and that allows them to do something for the kids and the school itself. She travels to the school on regular basis and tries to make a difference for the children.

The poor living condition of the kids is a major problem and it motivated Ashlyn’s actions. Furthermore, the insufficient funding of the school is a major problem for proper functioning of the institution and achieving the desirable results. Luckily, besides Ashlyn and her husband, Ellen’s done something that may help the school to widespread their message across the nation.

Materialism is not the only thing that the students need. The goal or the plan is to make every student feel special. Furthermore, promoting the students’ values and their capabilities and skills is another thing this couple is fighting for. They need to know that someone does care for them. The teachers of the school add that they want to follow Angel Scwindt’s  quote:

“While we try to teach our children all about life, our children teach us what life is all about.”

Husbands are a bigger source of stress for wives than their children, scientists say

Parenthood means lots of responsibilities, duties and busy schedule. It is not easy to be a parent. The family problems, in addition to the jobs we do and the pressure we feel from third parties, may result with having a very stressful and frustrating life.

A recent study has shown that large number of married women find their husbands as bigger source of stress than the kids themselves.

The main reason for such opinion is the husbands’ behaviour. In other words, the wives believe that their husbands act like children even though they are grown up men. Jokingly, some of the participants of the study say that there is not even a difference between the husband and the kids. There may be some truth in it, according to other similar studies conducted in the recent period.

One British study that has been published recently shows that men mature emotionally later than women. The study also shows that men reach their ’emotional maturity’ in their 40s, while women reach it in their 30s. There are some participants’ claims that state men actually never stop being immature.

Every person understands emotional maturity differently. Usually this immaturity includes playing video games, eating a lot of fast food, burping and showing off. Some researchers call this type of behaviour as ‘Peter Pan syndrome’.

Different study – similar results. The source of wives’ stress is pinpointed once again.

Similar to the other studies of this type, half of the women stated that their husbands are the main source of stress. These results may surprise many, since the general opinion is that children are the source of parents’ stress.

One participant said:

“A 7-year-old is going to be a 7-year-old. But a 35-year-old acting like a 7-year-old is more stressful, because they should know better.”

Another participant added:

“Often times it seems like I am the only adult in my house. My husband and daughter compete with me for my attention.”

Besides the sources of stress, the study also focuses on the relationship between the parents and the kids. The results have shown that the fathers usually have a ‘friendly relationship’ with their kids. The fathers usually do not hesitate playing with their kids and engaging in various leisure activities.

On the other hand, the mothers are concerned with more serious activities. The health, education and behaviour are usually the mother’s duties. It is up to her to deal with these crucial aspects of the child’s life. Having this in mind, it is expected women to be more stressed than the men.

Regarding this, one woman says:

“My husband is a really great dad, but I do find marriage to be stressful. I’ve had to put so much energy into my marriage,” one of the responders said.

Communication may be the solution.

The crucial thing in overcoming these stress-related problems is communication. Wife-husband communication and mutual understanding may fix this unbalance and hopefully lower the stress level in the family.

Communication between both parents is very important in solving everyday problems. That way, the duties may be divided and the responsibilities will be taken equally by both of them. If only one parent takes the majority of the responsibilities then the stress in unavoidable.

In addition to that, an attention is paid to the cohesion of the family. In other words, the stress is higher in families where one parent usually forbids everything, while the other allows all of it. Acting in the same way reduces the stress that affects the parents.

Chores – another source of stress.

So far the immature behaviour of the husband has been pointed out as a major source of stress. However, the studies have shown that the unequal split of the chores may also result with some significant stress and frustration.

Unbalanced split of the chores and household tasks usually affects the harmony of the family, especially the husband-wife relationship. This is an additional source of stress, besides the already mentioned, and as such may have some serious consequences. Therefore, having an equal share of responsibilities, duties and chores is the crucial element of the family’s success.

The third factor – ‘time stress’!

Doing things on time, beating the clock and following schedule of duties very often make us stressed and desperate. The time pressure makes us feel frustrated and that may lead to blaming ourselves, or the people around us, for the possible failures. This is a very unpleasant situation for every person and unhealthy environment for the family.

One of the participants, regarding this, adds:

“I feel like I am figuring out a lot about parenting on my own without the input of my husband. This stresses me out because when something goes wrong, it is all my fault,” one of the moms in the research told.

Once again, communicating with your partner may be the key to the success. We all struggle to have the perfect marriage, and this may be the crucial thing in achieving that.

People share supposed racist photo on Twitter, then the “Victim’s” mom set the record straight

The tragedy in Santa Fe deeply touched the nation. 10 innocent people lost their lives and 13 were injured. That was a devastating news that shattered the nation.

The students, the employees of the High School and the first responders were invited to the Game 5 of the Rockets Western Conference Finals.

A group of nine girls were supposed to sing during this event. Prior to the singing, the girls observed a moment of silence, a situation that caused people react in totally different way.

Many pictures were taken of this moment, but one sparked a major controversy.

The photo that caused such a controversy features all girls holding hand, except one. The one who isn’t holding hands is the African-American girl. People immediately applied racism to this act and they started thinking the white girls are discriminating the black girl.

One comment said:

“Who the white girls?? Yeah, they did have one job and refused to hold the black chicks hand…their racisms showing BIG TIME.”

Another person wrote:

“Y’all see 2nd girl from the right smirking while not holding her hand.. yeah OK”

A third one said:

“But why is nobody holding the black girl’s hand?”

Such kind of comments were not acceptable by the girl’s mother.

The mother wanted to make the things clear, so she wrote:

“The ‘black girl’ is my daughter. It’s people like you that keep the race crap stirred up. You just look for ways to make things about race. These girls are her friends. You have no idea what you are talking about so you just need to shut up.”

Her idea was to point out that people tend to see negative things where there are none.

“My daughter didn’t want to cry before she had to sing and holding hands would have caused her to start crying that’s the story nothing about race”, she said.

However, the mother’s efforts gave no results. People even asked Lynda to provide evidence that she is the girl’s mother. Having in mind the fact that the girl’s parents are white, the situation got even worse. Lynda indeed had the birth certificate of the girl, but she didn’t want to share such a personal thing. Instead, Lynda posted some photos of the family. Nicole is between her father and her mother.

Lynda wrote:

“I have a birth certificate which you will not be seeing. This is us at senior parent night for the band.”

Because the situation developed into something unwanted, the Nicole and Lynda spoke together in an interview in order to settle the things out.

Nicole Janice told:

“It’s very disappointing that people are going to take a race issue out of a picture with nine grieving girls in it. I grieve in my own different way. I don’t like to be touched. When we had that moment of silence, I didn’t want to grab anyone’s hands because I didn’t want to break down before we sang [the National Anthem].”

Nicole was shocked and couldn’t believe her eyes when she read the comments. She adds that people invented a problem out of nothing.

“When Nicole came out of her room Saturday morning, she was upset that they had turned this into a race thing because she knew what was real. To make something so simple into a race issue was just absolutely ludicrous.” – says her mother.

Lynda and Nicole are happy to settle the things out. Racism is not the thing that people should play around with. The terrible outcome of such experimenting can be very serious.

Nevertheless, the family was criticized for nothing. Later, it was concluded that the photo was photoshopped and Nicole was not the only girl who wasn’t holding hands.

While discussing racism, one person asked Lynda :

“I wonder how you explain racism to her in all your privilege?”

Lynda replied:

“I let her read these posts. Y’all are doing a damn good job.”

Cab driver prevents elderly woman from losing $2,000 in new scam – Here’s what to be aware of

If you were lucky enough to grow up with your grandparents by your side, you know the meaning of the purest form of love. There is really nothing these people wouldn’t do for the well-being of their grandchildren. From spoiling them rotten while they are little kids, to taking them to the park, and being supportive all the way, grandmas and grandpas are simply the best.

Actually, this is something everyone is pretty much aware of, even fraudsters and conmen who would do anything to take advantage of the affection these loving people feel for their grandkids.

The so-called ‘grandparents scams’ are becoming popular among criminals who trick the vulnerable individuals into thinking how their granddaughter or grandson are done for and in need of urgent financial aid.

They do this scam by pretending to be lawyers, doctors, and even police officers. The grandparents fall for this easily believing they are getting their loved ones out of trouble.

The first thing the criminals do is come up with excuses of why would they need the money for. Sometimes it’s a sudden surgery, costs for lawyers, or paying for a driving ticket. After they present this well-planned stories, they ask the grandparents to send them the money, which most are willing to do.

This operation isn’t as simple as it sounds. The scammers spend certain amount of time learning about both the victim and their family members. They usually do this by going through the grandchildren’s social networking sites accounts trying to exploit the relationship they have with their grandparents.

Since the fictional situations and problems the scammers present the victims with are sort of embarrassing and personal, the grandparents don’t share them with the rest of the family members or their friends. They believe they’ve been loyal, without being aware they are not actually helping anyone.

The latest victim of this sort of scam was an 87-year-old lady from Quincy.

The lady was already tricked into spending around $4,000 on gift cards that she sent to the criminals. They, however, realized she was an easy target and decided they wanted more money. She agreed on sending them Walmart gift cards that would cost additional $2,000. As she headed to the store, she shared this story with the taxi driver who suspected this elderly woman had been set up.

Richard Spencer, the yellow cab driver, didn’t fall for this strange story and knew the lady had been scammed.

“I said excuse me ma’am, but that is not your grandson,” the cab driver said. “It’s someone posing.”

She told Spencer how someone called her earlier that day saying how her grandson was involved in a car accident that he caused and now he needed gift cards he would use to pay in order to be spared jail time.

“I don’t think so lady,” Richard said to her. “I think you’re getting scammed. I heard this before, you know.”

The trip to Walmart turned into one to the nearest police station.

“I said, no, no we’re not going to Walmart. I’m calling the Quincy Police,” he later said to WBZ-TV. “I said I believe your being scammed and we’re going to try to save you some money.”

It turned out Spencer was right. This grandma was a victim of a scam.

The police, however, says catching these criminals is not easy since they usually operate out of the U.S.

If it wasn’t for this quick-thinking taxi driver, the lady would lose even more money.

“I think it’s one of the scummiest crimes you can do,” the cab driver concluded. “It just goes to show what scumbags they are, they’re too lazy to go out and steal like a real criminal, they go scam people on the phone.”

Everyone praises Spencer’s action. He knew something was wrong and trusted his intuition.

“Thank you Mr. Spencer for caring. You could have chosen to remain silent and ignore the signs. But you didn’t. And for that we say THANK YOU” the police department wrote on their Facebook page.

While Spencer was helping his passenger that day, he got a traffic ticket. But we hope the officers would let him out of the hook because of his kind deed.

Ireland’s Got Talent judges and audience stunned by medical student

February 2 marked  the beginning of the second season of Ireland’s Got a Talent. With the same format, Virgin Media One once again began entertaining the audience and the loyal fans. As expected, the judges remain the same. Louis Walsh, Michelle Visage, Denise van Outen and Jason Byrne will try to find out the future most talented Irish performer.

Ireland’s Got a Talent keeps the same format as last year. The first steps that are done are the open auditions held in the major cities across Ireland. If the contestants meet the criteria of the show, they move on to the Judge’s Auditions. This second part of the auditions includes singing in front of a big audience. The major part of the show are the live rounds. In order to move on and be part of the semi-finals, the contestants have to win the majority of the judges.

Tara Jamieson, born in Canada, was one of the contestants in the show. She stepped on the stage and in front of the crowd and the judges she started singing ‘One and Only’ by Adele. The amazed and pleasantly shocked faces of the judges say it all.

Tara is a medical student at the Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin. Her passion for the medicine, particularly paediatrics,  is not the only passion she has. Her love for the music is equally the same and because of that she is an alumnus of Berklee College of Music. These two totally different areas are reason for the jokes that are told during her performance. To this, Michelle Visage adds: “[she will] sing to kids while she gives them a shot”.


She gave us an impression of a very relaxed girl who loves being on stage. And she knows how to perform on stage very well. The Judges and Tara’s jokes about the herself prove that the girl is not that stressed, which is a good sign. These jokes were just the introduction to her performance, and man, she performed amazingly.

The semi-final rounds are what all contestant dream about. To be part  of that, one has to pass through a process of selection, done in two ways: phone votes and judges’ votes. Each semi-final round selects two winners, ready to face each other in the final round.

The public voting is the only factor that determines Ireland’s Got a Talent winner. Besides the nation-wide fame, the winner also gets € 50.000. The winner even gets her/ his own prime-time Christmas TV special. No wonder why so many contestants try to win the show.

Play the video and enjoy with this beautiful performance!

Man’s remark about woman’s family brings her to tears

The common understanding that the family is strong and compact only if the its members share the same genes and physical characteristics is slowly losing its popularity among people. We have witnessed that families that do have related DNA or genes fall apart and lives are being destroyed. There is, however, something totally different that keeps the families together.

Jessica Satterfiled and her husband proved just that. Families can be happy and they can enjoy the life no matter what’s the DNA code of its members. They are showing the world that being physically similar does not guarantee a stable and happy family.

 Jessica and her husband are parents of three healthy, happy and beautiful kids. They have adopted them when they were younger and now they try to raise them up into independent adults. They share everything and talk about various different topics. Like every family out there, they enjoy the life.

However, this family differs from the rest in one thing. The kids have different skin color than the parents. During the years, this skin color difference has caused many people to stare at them and wonder what’s going on. From time to time strangers will give them surprised looks and that sometimes puts the family in an awkward position. One such situation occurred while the family was out in a restaurant having their lunch.

All five members of the family decided to eat some burgers in a restaurant. While they were having a good time and enjoying each other’s company, Jessica noticed an old man staring at them. She began feeling even more uncomfortable when she saw the old man approaching them. To her surprise, the man said something very unexpected.

The old man shook her husband’s hand and said:

“I just wanted to tell you that you have such a beautiful family.”

This stunned them. They were left speechless when they saw the man, with tears in his eyes, saying such a good thing. Jessica nor her husband chased the old man, they didn’t  get his name, but this line of words shook their emotions. They will remember him for the rest of their lives.

The family is accustomed to hearing words of surprise and in all these years they have been stared at very often. This man’s compliment was something totally different. Unexpectedly, the man’s acknowledge of their success as a family made them very happy and proud.

Regarding her family, Jessica says:

“Families don’t have to match to be a family. What makes a family is their love.”

Jessica’s words are true. Love is the thing that bonds us and keeps us strong and united. The moment we lose it, is the moment when we realise that we are alone with no one besides us. That sucks!
