Hilarious Dentist Puts New Spin On Dance Challenge

When most of us think about the dentist, frightening images of sharp tools, screeching machines, and grisly older men come into mind. But this dentist is here to change our perception of dentists – and he’s doing so with a fun rendition of Drake’s “In My Feelings” dance challenge.

While the song plays in the background, Dr. Rich Constantine of Constantine Dental in Greenville, South Carolina boogies like the best of ’em. He had no idea his video would gain so much attention online, but we understand why it did…

Dr. Constantine performed all of the moves to the “In My Feelings” challenge – but this time, he called it the “In My Fillings” challenge!

The “In My Feelings” or “Shiggy” dance challenge began shortly after (the hip-hop artist) Drake’s song “In My Feelings” went viral. Fans began posting videos of themselves dancing to his words and the best renditions started to gain attention online. That’s when Dr. Constantine got the good idea to record his own version!

People from all over the world were blown away by the dentist’s fun moves. He even got a little special attention from women. One viewer wrote:

“I found myself looking for his wedding ring, then I remembered that I’m married.”

Since his video has totally blown up online, Dr. Constantine had to go back on his practice’s official Facebook page to share an update.

“Until the other day, I was just known for some wedding dancing and some dance battles with my wife Trish at home in the living room. This is all to make people realize that going to the dentist can be fun and that we’re just here to make you smile.”

While all of the women pining over Dr. Constantine are probably disappointed to learn he is, in fact, married, we can all use the reminder that dentists have a tough job! They just want to help us show off our best smile – yet, they get such a bad reputation!

Be sure to show your dentist a little extra appreciation during your next appointment!

Watch Dr. Constantine’s awesome version of the “In My Feelings” challenge below. What a fun dentist!

65 years of math in American public schools. This is frighteningly accurate

Last week I purchased a burger at Burger King for $1.58. The counter girl took my $2 and I was digging for my change when I pulled 8 cents from my pocket and gave it to her. She stood there, holding the nickel and 3 pennies, while looking at the screen on her register. I sensed her discomfort and tried to tell her to just give me two quarters, but she hailed the manager for help. While he tried to explain the transaction to her, she stood there and cried.

Why do I tell you this? Because of the evolution in teaching math since the 1950’s:

Teaching Math In 1950’s:

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price. What is his profit ?

Teaching Math In 1960’s:

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is 4/5 of the price, or $80. What is his profit?

Teaching Math In 1970’s:

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80. Did he make a profit?

Teaching Math In 1980’s:

A logger sells a truckload of lumber for $100. His cost of production is $80 and his profit is $20.
Your assignment: Underline the number 20.

Teaching Math In 1990’s:

A logger cuts down a beautiful forest because he is selfish and inconsiderate and cares nothing for the habitat of animals or the preservation of our woodlands. He does this so he can make a profit of $20. What do you think of this way of making a living? Topic for class participation after answering the question: How did the birds and squirrels feel as the logger cut down their homes?

(There are no wrong answers, and if you feel like crying, it’s ok. )

Teaching Math in 2000’s:

If you have special needs or just feel you need assistance because of race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, age, childhood memories, criminal background, then don’t answer and the correct answer will be provided for you. There are no wrong answers.

Teaching Math In 2015:

Un ha chero vende una carretada de maderapara $100. El costo de la Producciones es $80. Cuanto dinero ha hecho?

Terri Irwins Latest Confession About Husband Can’t Be Ignored

There are some people that leave their mark on the world in a way no one else can compare. And in 2006 the world mourned the loss of one of the world’s finest, Steve Irwin.

It’s been 12 years since the loss of the remarkable zookeeper everyone around the world loved for his fun, spunky personality. And although his passing came as a shock to the world at just the young age of 44, his wife Terri Irwin is speaking up to tell fans it wouldn’t have shocked him at all.

Recently, Terri sat with an Australian television series called “Anh’s Brush With Fame” and the interview took a turn when Terri emotionally revealed,

He never thought he’d have a long life. He always kind of had this sense his life would be cut short.

Unfortunately, Steve was right, when a sting ray approached him and pierced him in the chest with its barb in between takes while filming “Ocean’s Deadliest” in Queensland, Australia. Following the incident Terri was notified to call her zoo manager. Recalling the moment when she found out Terri states,

I just remember this incredible sense of responsibility, this feeling of overwhelming grief but ‘what do I do next? I kind of collected my thoughts and then had to go out to the car and tell Bindi and Robert … which was really hard.

Terri then tearfully recalls the last time she saw Steve. She, Bindi and Robert were flying to Tasmania while Steve stayed behind to film the documentary.

I remember him at the airstrip waving goodbye. That was the last time we saw him.

Once the news of his passing got out to the press Terri admits Steve himself would have been shocked by the amount of support he was shown.

No one would’ve been more surprised than Steve at the outpouring of grief and love.

Sadly he left behind his wife and two young children, who to this day are big wildlife enthusiasts just like their father. Despite the fame that Steve had over the years Terri says she always admired the fact that the fame never got to his head stating,

Famous wasn’t a word that occurred to Steve. I loved that about him, he was never pretentious, never big-noted himself, and we did put everything we made for wildlife and still do back into conservation, I’m really proud of that.

I think it’s safe to say that’s part of the reason why the world loved him so much and continues to remember his name. Thankfully, his loving children and wife continue to build on his incredible legacy. Rest in peace, Steve.

Woman has the best comeback for her rude mother-in-law…

A woman who was married to her irresponsible husband had to raise a kid on her own because the so-called man of the house was always out at the bar with his friends, and when he wasn’t, he was always slacking off at home.

She called up her mother-in-law during a particularly hard day, whom she wasn’t always on the best of terms with because she tended to side with her son rather than offer the woman any sort of support.

The woman asked, “Could you tell me who changes the child if it poops itself? Is it the dad or the mom?”

“It is always the mother, honey,” said the mother-in-law condescendingly.

“OK then“ said the woman. “Could you come over please? Your son got drunk and sh*t himself.”

Cameron Lyle donated 2 liters of bone marrow to save a stranger’s life – the price he paid has me in tears

Cameron Lyle was a 21 year old track and field star at the University of New Hampshire when he received a call that would change his life.

He had registered to be a bone marrow donor two years previously, and was told that the chances that he would be a match were extremely small.

However, he was a match, for a 28 year old man who he’d never met, who had been given just months to live.

Cameron didn’t think twice about donating, and his decision changed both of their lives forever.

Cameron had joined the bone marrow registry during his sophomore year, but hadn’t thought much of it since then.

“I swabbed for ‘Be The Match’. I went with a couple of friends, took 10 minutes, filled some paperwork, swabbed a cheek,” he tells NCAA.

The chances of being a match for someone are extremely small, so Cameron was blown away when he received a call 2 years later saying that he was a match. All they could tell him about the potential recipient was that he was a 28 year old man with leukemia who had been given just months to live. Cameron didn’t think twice before agreeing to donate.

Life changing

Bone marrow donation is a long and complicated procedure, and is often tough on the donor. An average patient needs 5-10 cubic centimeters of marrow, however Cameron’s recipient needed 1800 cubic centimeters.

But luckily, both Cameron and his recipient recovered well following the procedure. Cameron even received a heartfelt letter from the man he had saved.

“I got a really powerful card from him. It was dated the day that he received the marrow, so he wrote it still not knowing if he was gonna’ live or not,” Cameron says.

End of his athletic career

Cameron’s actions didn’t just have a life-changing impact on his recipient, it also changed his own life forever. When Cameron agreed to donate, he was nearing the end of his athletic season and his final campionships. Donating bone marrow put a stop to his campionship ambitions.

“I went to tell my coach and then I realized slowly that my season was over,” cameron tells ABC News.

But of course, everybody around Cameron was extremely supportive of his selfless act. As his coach James Boulander puts it: “Throwing a 16lb metal object as far as you can – nice! Helping somebody live – totally different. Priceless.”

And Cameron’s decision had a bigger impact than he could have imagined. Not only did he save this recipient’s life, but he inspired others to go out and register as potential donors, too.

“So, many people went out and got swabbed when my story came out. The numbers doubled in a week,” Cameron explains.

“It really starts with you wanting to help someone. There’s not enough of that right now, people helping people. There’s a bigger picture out there than just you.”

A cop walks into a donut shop…sounds like the start of a joke but it was the start of an unforgettable moment for 9 year old Brooke.

Brooke was standing in line, waiting to buy some donut holes. But when she got to the cashier, she discovered that she didn’t have enough money.

As it turns out, there was a kind stranger waiting behind her – State Trooper Chad Savannah.

What happened next is what has the people’s heart melting all over the internet.

9 year old Brooke describes the scene in a way that we can all relate to.

Unexpected reaction

“I was standing in line and I didn’t have enough money and I’m like, frozen,” Brooke tells The Butler Eagle. “I didn’t know what to do.”

Afterwards:

But when Brooke got home, she was able to compose her thoughts, and decided to write a ‘Thank you‘ note to her local police department. She wanted to thank the unknown trooper for helping her. In the thank you not, she also enclosed a $10 bill to cover the cost of the donuts.

Trooper Savannah and his fellow officers were all impressed by the little girl’s thank you message.

“I think everybody here was very moved by the kindness of this 9 year old,” says the captain of the police department.

“The officers decided that Brooke deserved a reward, and gathered some money together to purchase a $50 Toys R Us gift card for Brooke. They mailed the card to the little girl and figured she would buy some toys for herself. But what she did instead took them by surprise. She purchased $50 worth of toys with the gift voucher and donated them to Toys for Tots.”

When the officer’s found out that Brooke donated all the toys she bought, they decided that she deserved some special treatment. Brook was invited to the police station, where she was given a full tour. Sitting in the police care was her favorite part of the day.

Brooke’s family says that her thoughtfulness was not out of character at all.

“We’re trying to teach our kids right. To take care of what they owe for,” says Brooke’s mom Beth Yost.

A pastor and a taxi driver both died and went to heaven.

St. Peter was at the Pearly gates waiting for them.

‘Come with me’, said St. Peter to the taxi driver.

The taxi driver did as he was told and followed St. Peter to a mansion.

It had anything you could imagine from a bowling alley to an Olympic size pool.

‘Wow, thank you’, said the taxi driver.

Next, St. Peter led the pastor to a rugged old shack with a bunk bed and a little old television set.

‘Wait, I think you are a little mixed up,’ said the pastor.

‘Shouldn’t I be the one who gets the mansion? After all I was a pastor, went to church every day, and preached God’s word.’

‘Yes, that’s true. But during your sermons people slept. When the taxi driver drove, everyone prayed.’

Cop’s Rant About Slow ‘Grandpa’ On Road Goes Viral

There’s no question that being on the road with speeding drivers can be dangerous. But the reality is slow motorists can pose a threat as well – on top of being frustrating! So when one officer noticed a very old ‘grandpa’ in front of him while driving, he kept his eyes peeled. After all, he was traveling well under the speed limit.

Florida deputy Brian Bowman got back in his car after confronting the slow ‘driver’ and felt the need to vent about his experience to the camera. He starts out by expressing his annoyance saying, “The nerve of this guy… He’s literally going 1 mile per hour in a 30 mile per hour zone.” Whoa, that sounds pretty bad! Officer Bowman then goes on to explain that the guy’s about 100-years-old, which seems to help things make more sense. But then he continues, “He shouldn’t be out on the roadways to begin with.”

From the sounds of it the officer was in a pretty interesting situation, especially since when he went to talk to him he was snapped at! But just as you’re feeling Officer Bowman’s frustration, the camera turns to reveal the elderly grandpa… And who’s in front of him is exactly as described – only it’s a tortoise walking slowly in the middle of the street! The video is so funny and spot-on that it’s gone viral. Press play below to see it for yourself. How the officer closes it up is hilarious!

Woman’s True Colors Shown After Visit To Elderly Veterans Home

As we age we find ourselves easily trusting other people. Whether it’s because we rely on them or just because we have nothing to lose, it can sometimes turn into a problem that leads to getting taken advantage of. When a frail 94-year-old veteran named Thomas Hendrix opened his doors to a family to walk them thru his Georgia home he didn’t think anything of it. Only later that day Neil Deloch, his caretaker, saw a shocking sight on Thomas’ security camera that immediately raised red flags.

In the footage Thomas escorts a family of four thru his house, two children and a man and wife. Thomas grabs his pet cockatoo and one of the curious kids asks “Does she bite” to which Thomas responds no. From there, he shuffles into the next room with the kids following behind. The man follows them into the other room when the woman stays behind in the room and asks if she can use his restroom. With everyone, including the homeowner in the other room, she then finds the veteran’s wallet and pry’s it open looking for cash. She takes some cash out then finds a second wallet that is empty. Realizing the second wallet is empty she goes back to the first wallet and removes more cash.

The woman then stuffs the cash into her bra and enters the bathroom but only flushes the toilet to make it seem as though she was in the bathroom the entire time. Neil was outraged upon seeing the surveillance video and decided to post the video online. The woman, named Heather, then came forward in his post to state that the entire thing was a big misunderstanding and she didn’t steal from the veteran. While there is no telling whether or not she is telling the truth it seems suspicious that she would enter bathroom just to flush the toilet and make it seem like she was in there the entire time. Watch the footage for yourself in the video below.

Man Follows Postman And Silently Records His Actions

Sometimes it is easy to fall behind on our work duties when we’re overwhelmed with too much work. In the case of U.S. Postal Service workers, when their jobs get to be too much, the stuff that’s piling up on their proverbial desk may actually be our undelivered mail!

Unscrupulous mail carriers may even go so far as to hide the evidence somewhere nearby. When cinematographer Douglas Thron saw a mailman hanging around an area of town that he had no business being in, he was confused by the mailman’s behavior.

So he pulled out his camera and pressed record. It didn’t take long for him to figure out the truth about the postman.

Mail carriers spend long hours on their feet every day, and they’re supposed to deliver our mail six days a week, rain or shine, through sleet and snow. Oh, and apparently they make sure you get your important Amazon packages in post-apocalyptic conditions, too!

When Douglas flew his drone above the wildfire-ravaged city of Santa Rosa, California, the only thing he expected to film was a scene of utter devastation. Instead, the drone captured a lone mailman in the act of bringing the neighborhood back to life, in his own special way.

In the video, a postal service worker can be seen driving his truck through a burned-out suburb, making regular stops to deliver the mail. Although many of the homes had been leveled by the flames, somehow the mailboxes were still standing.

The mail carrier’s name is Trevor Smith, and people are calling him the most dedicated mailman on the planet! Trevor was honoring the request of the homeowners in the area, who were being let back into the fire zone to retrieve personal items.

Trevor’s efforts were captured by the drone along Piner Street, which is where a senior mobile home park is located. Some of the seniors Trevor personally knew from his route had asked him to continue to deliver their mail while they were evacuated.

Man Walking In The Woods Captures Forest Floor “Breathing” In Incredible Footage

A Nova Scotia man out for a walk caught a strange phenomena in the forest near the ocean’s edge. Thankfully, he pulled out his camera to record it. In the video, Brian Nuttall captures the forest floor, rising and falling as if “breathing”. “As I entered a patch of trees spared from clear cutting, I noticed the ground moving,” he says of the incident, which has since gone viral.

After posting the video, many commented that what appears as “breathing” is actually the root systems under the trees is loose and shifting. The natural phenomenon is called soil liquefaction. The solidness of the soil is reduced because of water saturation (and possibly air), which causes the visual effect where it appears that the soil is moving.

The scientific explanation doesn’t make it any less dramatic to watch, as you’ll see for yourself in the video below!

Teacher Shares Powerful Lesson For Parents Buying School Supplies

Leland Michael, a public school teacher from Iowa, was in the Walmart school section when two sets of parents stopped him to complain about the number of supplies they had to purchase for their kids. After completing his shopping, he walked to the register where another man also had something to say to the teacher.

But this time things ‘took a very different turn’ – and what Leland observed has since gone viral for all of the right reasons…

As soon as Leland got home that day, he took to Facebook to share what happened inside that Walmart and how he was inspired by one person in particular.

He wrote:

“I was feeling pretty jaded this morning as two different sets of parents at Walmart stopped me in the school supplies aisle to complain about how much they had to get their kids this year.

‘This is just ridiculous. I don’t know how these teachers think we are supposed to get all this stuff.’

As they complained, they seemed to be oblivious to the fact that my cart was filled with a class set of all the supplies they were buying–which should have been a pretty clear indication that I was one of those greedy teachers they were complaining about.”

“While I was checking out, though, things took a very different turn. I noticed the man in front of me in the checkout lane was buying school supplies for his daughter.

As he went to leave, he said to me, ‘You are a teacher, right? I just want to thank you for everything you do. I see your cart is full with supplies, and I just wanted to help out as much as I can.’

Then he handed me a $25 Wal-Mart gift card, shook my hand, and walked away with his daughter smiling big at me.

While I was extremely moved by the man’s generosity, the part that stuck with me the most was the difference in his message to his daughter compared with the parents who had been complaining earlier.

The kids who heard their parents complaining heard this message: ‘School is not important enough to spend money on it, teachers are not to be trusted and have bad judgement, and learning does not require investment.’

The kid whose dad handed me the gift card heard: ‘School is important enough that we should give more than required to make sure it is successful, teachers should be respected and valued, and learning requires us giving it everything we have.’

If money is tight, and you struggle to buy your child school supplies, I understand. Don’t worry: more than likely your child will have a teacher and a school that makes sure they have the supplies they need to be successful this year. However, as a parent, do your best to send the right message to your child.

The man who gave me the gift card not only made my day, but I also know that his daughter will enter the classroom this year with a very different perspective about her teacher and her education, and that is extremely powerful!”

Since Leland posted his story on Facebook it’s gone viral, being shared more than 400,000 times. In addition, he’s received many heartfelt comments that agree with his powerful message.

People all over the country certainly have strong opinions when it comes to the topic of school supplies. But no matter how much you can afford to provide, we can all agree that education is of paramount importance, which is why we need to be good examples when it comes to it.

Tiny Dancer In Wheelchair Impresses With Ballet Moves

Milam Kiser, 3, from Shelbiana, Kentucky, has the soul of a star.

“The child is a diva,” her mother Amanda told Caters News.

“She loves to dance and absolutely adores music.”

But Milam isn’t your typical 3-year-old. She and her brother Noah were both born with a rare, genetic condition called osteogenesis imperfecta type III.

When a person has this condition, their bones are very fragile and vulnerable to breaks. It can often be diagnosed in the newborn period when a baby gets fractures just from being held and handled. Although this vulnerability to fractures is one of the main symptoms, according to Rare Diseases, other signs of the disorder include short stature, dental problems, macrocephaly (unusually large head), and hearing loss. Many of those afflicted are not able to walk without assistance.

“The change is caused by a gene mutation which affects bone formation and structure and can cause dwarfism,” Amanda explained.

“Both Noah and Milam are affected; they are tiny.”

“People always ask me if they’re twins even though there are three years between them.”

“She will get fractures very often. Since she was born, she’s had around 60, which have either required casting or splints.”

Despite Milam’s tiny stature, the little girl has big dreams: she is going to be a ballerina.

As a music lover, the toddler spends lots of time on YouTube. “Milam asked me to go to ballet classes because she watches the other girls on YouTube doing it and wants to be like them,” Amanda said.

As can be imagined, her mother was a bit apprehensive about the suggestion. The little girl was confined to a wheelchair and her condition made physical activity risky. Despite her worries, however, she couldn’t say no to her daughter’s dream.

“She said she wanted to be a ballerina, so I called the instructors, explained about her being in a wheelchair and they were all on board.”

In a video recorded by Amanda, you see Milam on the first day of ballet class.

In the opening scene, the little girl shows off her tutu for the camera, bouncing ecstatically on her bed. After about 10 seconds, the scene changes, and then you see Milam in the swing of her class.

The tiny ballerina doesn’t let her wheelchair hold her back, as she points her toes and pirouettes in line with the other girls.

She watches the other students carefully, synchronizing her moves with theirs. “Some of the children were a bit older than her but she really enjoyed herself,” Amanda said. “Usually Milam gets really nervous around the other kids at first, and there may be a few tears, but she really got stuck in.”

“She absolutely loved it.”

Since her first ballet class, Milam has suffered a few falls which have lowered her confidence a bit. “She was so happy when she’d finished the class but she’s really nervous to go back now,” Amanda revealed. Still, this video shows the pure beauty and joy of a little girl finally getting her dream.

P.S. Milam, if you see this, sweetheart— don’t let a few falls keep you down.

Watch her adorable performance below!

America’s No. 1 inspirational fiction writer Karen Kingsbury can conjure up all sorts of stories about miracles and angels watching over us for her amazing novels. But it wasn’t until she personally experienced a breathtaking moment herself that she realized the full impact divine intervention can have on a person. Karen had trekked to New York City to meet with her publisher. Her daughter Kelsey and her hubby Kyle tagged along so they could soak up the sights of the Big Apple.

It was beautiful autumn afternoon and Karen was thrilled that Simon & Schuster would be publishing her latest book and signed on for more. The first thought she had was to call her dad. But her dad had been gone for a while now, having succumbed to a heart attack. Karen fondly remembered the moment when her dad shared how he always thought of his grown kids, his wife and other loved ones whenever he heard the legendary Rod Stewart’s song “Have I Told You Lately.”

Feeling a bit blue despite receiving awesome news about her book, the trio headed to the gorgeous High Line Park. The words to Rod’s song floated through her mind while they walked. This song had played at the strangest times in Karen’s life after her father passed away – that was no coincidence. They attempted to take a selfie when a stranger walking by offered to snap the photo for them. He looked at the picture and said, “That’s lovely.” He handed Karen her camera and said, “God bless you” before walking away. Mere moments later, it dawned on Karen and her daughter who the kind stranger was.

Diver impales a bull shark with a spear gun as it charges to attack him

Spear fisherman Danny Henricks is fortunate enough to have survived the type of underwater experience that proves just how dangerous sea creatures can be – and he even caught it all on video.

Henricks, 35, was fishing off the coast of Australia when a bull shark charged at him at full speed, only to impale himself on Danny’s spear gun.

The hair-raising clip has been video more than three million times (and counting) since Henricks uploaded it last month.

The diver was spending his holiday diving off the coast of north Queensland when he suddenly saw the fierce beast emerge from the depths.

“I was going to go for a deep dive, got halfway down… I seen him [the shark] on edge of the channel deep down,” Henricks told a news outlet.

“He didn’t worry me at all, he didn’t care about me, then he saw me, turned and came towards me half-pace… I sort of stopped in the middle of the water,” he said.

“I thought he was going to come towards me half-pace … I thought he was going to suss me out so I was just going to poke him away to show I wasn’t food. I just wanted him to keep me at a distance.”

Henricks says the underwater animal went full charge within the last five to six meters.

“I lunged forward with the gun a little bit just before he got there but most of it was his force,” he said.

Henricks, an experienced diver and fisherman, said he was shocked by the incident.

“I don’t think it’s really sunk in yet because I don’t really understand what’s happened,” he said in an interview last month. “Some people would say not being there in the first place, which I think I have a right to be there.”

Though the incident knocked his confidence slightly, Henricks says that he will continue to spearfish.

He plans to take a dive buddy from now on.

These tiny printed homes are world-changers

If society waits around for governments to solve the most important problems in the world, we’d probably be waiting forever in vain.

That’s why innovators are stepping up to find their own creative solutions.

One of those organizations is a San Francisco based non-profit called New Story. Their goal: “to create a world where no human being lives in survival mode.” They’re going to do that by ending homelessness.

So far, their organization has built 534 homes in Haiti in eight communities for 1,848 people; 190 homes in El Salvador in five of their communities for 790 people; and 59 homes in one Bolivian community for 177 people.

They are currently building in Mexico. But they are still a long ways away from manifesting their vision.

“There are over 100 million people living in slum conditions in what we call survival mode,” Alexandria Lafci, New Story’s cofounder and COO, told Wired. “How can we make a big dent in this instead of just solving incrementally?”

They figured that out while constantly coming up with ways to be more effective efficient. Their answer lied in 3-D printing.

They joined forces with construction technology company ICON print inexpensive 3-D homes.

“We feel it’s our responsibility to challenge traditional methods and work toward ending homelessness. Linear methods will never reach the billion+ people who need safe homes,” Brett Hagler, CEO of New Story, told Business Wire. “By working with ICON and leveraging their 3D printing innovations, we’re able to reach more families with the best possible shelter solutions, exponentially faster.”

Their collaboration produced a 650-square-foot house built in Austin, Texas that cost only $4,000 to make.

The house, which is a prototype, complies with the local housing code and can be built in one day.

It currently takes them eight months to build 100 homes at $6,000 a pop. If all goes right and New Story has its way, residents in the poorest communities of El Salvador, Bolivia, Haiti, and Mexico will have a safe place to call home.

They can very well change the entire world. And the promise of 3-D printing technology to construct homes and buildings is, simply put, incredible.

It will create major advancements in affordability, building performance, sustainability, and customization.

“You could print a house in the shape of a Fibonacci spiral if you wanted to,” Jason Ballard, cofounder of ICON, explains. “It’s just as simple as printing a square.”

The printing machine is called the Vulcan. It’s designed to work in places where electricity and potable water might not be available.

“Conventional construction methods have many baked-in drawbacks and problems that we’ve taken for granted for so long that we forgot how to imagine any alternative,” Ballard explains. “With 3D printing, you not only have a continuous thermal envelope, high thermal mass, and near zero-waste, but you also have speed, a much broader design palette, next-level resiliency, and the possibility of a quantum leap in affordability. This isn’t 10% better, it’s 10 times better.”

New Story hopes to print up a community of homes in El Salvador within 18 months through partnerships with cutting-edge materials and the highest standards for safety, comfort, and resiliency.

The original model of the home was completely printed on a 3-D printer, except for its roof.

The home includes a living room, small office space, bedroom, porch, bathroom and is absolutely adorable. Human workers installed windows, doors, plumbing and electrical systems. It will be used as office space for ICON until the design is perfected, according to Business Insider.

You can take a tour of the home and see it being built in the video below.

Dad Teaches Stranger A Lesson After Making Rude Comment

Brent Gehring’s daughter Emma is only 6-years-old. And despite her young age, she will soon start her seventh round of chemotherapy.

Yes… her seventh round. The chemotherapy is needed to fight a brain tumor.

Most people can’t tell by looking at Emma that she’s sick. But right now her condition makes it difficult for her to get around without a walker. This is why Brent has to sometimes carry her.

Brent knew that carrying around a 6-year-old might not be easy. He knew that watching his little girl and his wife go through such a trying experience wouldn’t be easy either.

What he didn’t expect was for people on the streets to pass judgment on his family instead of minding their own business.

But it did happen when he and his family went out to dinner one night and he shared the story on Facebook which ended up going viral.

“My daughter and I were leaving dinner the other night at Union Oyster House in Boston, MA. A dinner donated to us by an amazing business and friend that has been in our ‘family’ for years,” he explained. “When I crossed the street carrying her, she can’t walk without the use of her walker. A man yelled at me from 30’ away: ‘What the F*+k?’ He yelled. ‘Make her walk. That’s what is wrong with kids today.’”

Ahh, the age-old “that’s what’s wrong with kids today” bit. We hear angry bitter adults making the same tired argument decade after decade.

The same adults who fail to accept that they are the generation responsible for the raising the very same kids they are complaining about.

Brent was pretty pissed. Not only is this guy cursing and him and his daughter, he is judging his parenting style which is none of his damn business. At this point, Brent had to decide whether to sink down to this guy’s level and beat the crap at him, scream in his face, or teach him a valuable lesson. He chose the latter.

“I had a choice to make at that time. Can I make myself feel better by screaming at him or can I teach him something about life? I won’t lie to you and tell you that it was an easy choice but I got inches from his face, with my daughter in my arms, and quietly asked him if he was referring to my daughter. ‘Hell yes’ he said,” Brent explains in his post.

Let’s just say this guy ended up getting his ass kicked. Not physically, but by the Universe teaching him a lesson he sorely needed to learn.

This is what Brent told the man:

“My daughter has been carrying my faith and my strength for the past 5 years since she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. She can’t walk but I am happy to carry her because of all the amazing things she has taught me through the years. So I would advise you not address my daughter in any way other than respectful,” he said.

The two ended up having a good talk that ended with them both crying. I bet that guy didn’t feel so tough hysterically crying in a public parking lot.

“This story is only important if it serves as a reminder that you don’t always know the whole story so don’t judge others,” Brent said.

But Brent says he learned a lesson that day too. He said the situation served as a reminder that “good can come from any situation.”

“This post doesn’t come looking for pity for Emma or my family. What I am asking is for a change in today’s world… a change in the way we think. The world is what we as people make it. We have the power to make days better or worse for others. I choose to attempt to make lives better,” he said.

We’ll bet that Emma learned a great lesson that day too from the wonderful example her father made for her.

Little Boy Shows Up At Man’s Door When His Dad’s Deployed With Request Man Can’t Refuse

No one can replace a parent. But what would you do if you couldn’t see one of your parents for a year or more?

This can be especially hard on young children. They look to their parents for guidance. They look to them as role models and teachers.

One little boy was missing his dad so much he found a way to fill the void.

Brian Kelly is just a little kid. His dad is in the Air Force, and he has been deployed to Syria. The boy and his mom stayed behind, but they both miss Brian’s Dad dearly.

“When Dan [Brian’s dad] gets back, Brian’s going to cry and run to him with open arms,”

He is fortunate to have warm, friendly neighbors, and he has turned to them for help in his hour of need.

Molly and Dean Cravens are the best neighbors a boy could ask for. One day Dean was outside working, he had come in to cool off when suddenly the doorbell rang, and the man saw Brian standing on the porch.

With his head down and very little eye contact he asked if he could help with the yard work. This is what he used to do with his dad. The neighbor happily agreed.

Now Brian shows up to the neighbor’s house every day to do “dad stuff.”

Brian helps Dean clean up the yard and is always ready to help Dean. This bonding time with Mr Cravens has helped Brian immensely.

The two are a perfect fit, because Dean has 3 daughters but no sons. He loves getting the chance to do “dad activities” with a boy.

“This is our little neighbor,” she wrote. “His dad is deployed in Syria and every day he comes to the door asking to work with our dad. Appreciate today.” Molly recently posted on twitter.

What would you do if this happened to you? Would you step in for a soldier that is protecting and serving your country, or would you turn him away?

Photographer Pictures Father With Tears After Watching Newborn Only He Claims “That’s Not Why I Was Crying”

A standout amongst the most wonderful minutes in life is the point at which you respect your tyke into the world. A surge an of feelings hit – depletion from the birthing procedure, energy about having somewhat one to look after and freeze with regards to being accountable for another life for whatever remains of your own.

This extraordinary blend of feelings more often than not makes unseasoned parents shed a couple of tears as they hold their infant – however when this new dad started to cry in the healing facility room, nobody could’ve speculated the genuine explanation for his peaceful wails…

The couple’s birthing picture taker, Kristie Perez, caught the minute this new dad separated in tears and later addressed him about it. Notwithstanding, when Kristie’s customer uncovered the genuine reason he separated before her camera focal point, she knew she needed to impart it to the world.

Kristie posted the spouse’s story and a progression of staggering pictures from that mystical day with the Love What Matters page.

“He helplessly watched his wife vomit profusely for 285+ days. He witnessed her lose 30 pounds in pregnancy not being able to nourish herself due to Hyperemesis Gravidarum & preeclampsia.

She was hospitalized 4 times for dehydration throughout her pregnancy. Ate more dinners on the front steps of their home than he could count because any scent literally made her ill.

After months of simply being there for her as much as possible, he supported her during birth. I told him I captured him crying seeing his son and he said, ‘That’s not why I was crying.’

“Puzzled, I asked what he meant.

He teared up again and said, ‘This is the first time I have seen her smile in 10 months.’

Men, please understand how powerful your empathy can be.

To all of the mothers who have traumatic pregnancies and still find a way to smile… thank you for sacrificing yourself and enduring to bring your precious child into the world. That is no easy feat.”

Moms are extreme, imposing creatures and nothing flaunts this quality more than birth. This present spouse’s undeniable love and reverence for his better half is something all men can acknowledge.

Conceiving an offspring isn’t simple – and basically regarding the hardships that accompany pregnancy is unimaginably useful, from a lady’s point of view!

View more excellent photographs from their child’s introduction to the world underneath. What an enthusiastic minute, and a brilliant day!

Please SHARE this amazing moment with family and friends to show the true beauty of child birth!

Senior citizen gets a job at Walmart – two hours later he’s fired for a very unusual reason

This is quiet an unusual story of a senior citizen who had one of the shortest careers at Walmart.
It was just 2 hours into his first day when all of a sudden he got fired. What was the reason on would wonder? Well lets just say it will make you burst with laughter.

Many people who have read this story believe that his boss took the correct action, but others are convinced he should have backed up his employee.

I am pretty sure you all will have your own opinion, but let’s start at the very beginning of the events that took place.

The elderly man had served in the military and had only recently retired. His life now revolved around sitting at home alone with no one to talk to, he was having difficulty adjusting to this type of lifestyle as he was used to having contact with people. So he took it upon himself to go and find a part-time job.

After numerous days of job hunting he eventually landed a job as a greeter with the well known American discount store Walmart. Unfortunately his time there did not last long.

Below is the hilariously funny story of how it happened (in his own words):

“So after landing my new job as a Walmart greeter, a good find for many retirees, I lasted less than a day…

About two hours into my first day on the job, a very loud, mean-looking woman walked into the store with her two kids, yelling obscenities at them all the way through the entrance.

I said pleasantly, ‘Good morning and welcome to Walmart. Nice children you have there. Are they twins?’ Of course, her children were years apart, and while they shared common features, they certainly didn’t look like each other.

The woman stopped yelling long enough to say, ‘Hell no, they ain’t twins. The oldest one’s nine, and the other one’s seven. Why the hell would you think they’re twins? Are you blind or stupid?’

So I replied, ‘I’m neither blind nor stupid, Ma’am. I just can’t believe someone slept with you twice. Have a good day and thank you for shopping at Walmart.’

My supervisor said I probably wasn’t cut out for this line of work.”

Teacher asked 2nd graders what invention they wish didn’t exist. One girl’s answer broke her heart.

Second grade teacher Jen Beason asked her students to write about an invention they wished had never been invented.

Four of Beason’s students wrote that they wished their parent’s phones had never been invented. Why? Because their parents spend more time staring at their phones than they do talking to their kids.

Beason posted about her students’ responses in a Facebook post, “I don’t like the phone because my [parents] are on their phone every day … I hate my mom’s phone and I wish she never had one,” said a student in a picture Beason’s posted.

Many others weighed in. A fellow teacher wrote, “We had a class discussion about Facebook and every single one of the students said their parents spend more time on FB then they do talking to their child. It was very eye opening for me,” Abbey Fauntleroy commented.

It’s a sobering reminder that our kids need our time and our attention. It’s time to put down our phones and plug in our children’s lives.

Set aside time each night to devote to your children. Put the phone away, out of reach, so you won’t be tempted to use it. Your children deserve your undivided attention and time.

60-year-old wife gets makeover as birthday gift – husband gasps when he sees her incredible transformation

Age is just a number, as they say. But we all know that isn’t strictly true. As we grow older, it isn’t just the number that changes. Wrinkles creep in, you start to find grey hairs and your skin begins to sag. There’s nothing wrong with any of that, of course – there are plenty of beautiful pensioners out there!

60 year old Cindy didn’t feel beautiful. As her birthday approached, she decided it was time for a makeover. She wanted the image she saw in the mirror to match how she felt on the inside. So she contacted makeover expert Christopher Hopkins, and asked him to make her beautiful.

The result left both Cindy and her husband in shock…

Cindy hadn’t visited a salon in a while, and her hair felt dull and lifeless. On top of that, she had no idea how to do her make up to compliment her age. She hoped that Christopher could help her with that.

Before Cindy sat in the stylist’s chair, she and her husband described their expectations on camera. Cindy had a lot of expectations, and her husband said that he didn’t want to influence what she decided to do with her look, only support her.

“I don’t want to give her my influences, this is her gift. She’s the canvas, she can paint the canvas the way she wants,” he explains.

Cindy wanted to be beautiful, but she still wanted to look natural. She also wanted to learn a simple make up routine that she could fix herself in the mornings.

Christopher cut and colored her hair. Then he showed her how to apply simple make up that compliments her skin type.

When everything was ready, Cindy’s husband got to see the final result. Do you think he was surprised?

She looks like a new person! Don’t you think?

In the video below you can see the full transformation as well as interviews with Cindy and her husband.

Everyone deserves to feel beautiful! Share this article if you agree!

He Was Mad When His Rich Boss Ignored Him, But Was Shocked To Learn This

Reader Marie K. sent us recently forwarded us this story. It’s worth taking a second of your day to read.

My boss drove a luxury car everyday, and it was my duty to greet him and to open the gates for him, as I worked as a watchman in his villa. But he never responded back to my greetings.

One day he saw me opening the garbage bags outside the villa in search of any leftover food. But as usual, he never even looked at me, it was like as if he never saw anything.

The very next day I saw a paper bag at the same place, but it was clean and the food inside was covered well. It was fresh, like someone had just brought it from the supermarket. I didn’t care where it came from, I just took the paper bag and I was so happy.

Every day I found this paper bag at the same place with fresh vegetables and all the food we needed at home. This became my daily routine. I was eating and sharing this food with my wife and kids. I was wondering who this fool could be. How could he forget his paper bag full of fresh food everyday?

One day there was a big problem in the villa, and I was told that my boss has died. There were too many guests coming to the villa that day and I didn’t find the bag of food, so I thought that one of the guests must have taken it. But the same thing happened the 2nd day, the 3rd day and the 4th day.

It went on like this for a few weeks and I found it difficult to provide food for my family, so I decided to ask the wife of my boss for a raise in my salary or else I would quit my job as a watchman.

After I told her, she was shocked, and asked me, how come you never complained about your salary for the last 2 years? And why is this salary not enough for you now? I gave her so many excuses but she was never convinced!

Finally in the end, I decided to tell her the truth, I told her the entire story of the bag of groceries, and as to how it was my daily provision. She then asked me when the mystery bags stopped appearing. I told her after the death of her husband. And then I realized that I stopped seeing the paper bag immediately after the death of my boss. Why didn’t I ever think of this before? It was my boss who was providing this for me, all along. I guess I never thought that a person who never even replied to my greetings could ever be so generous.

His wife started to cry, and I told her to please stop crying, and that I’m really sorry that I asked for a raise, I didn’t know that it was your husband who was providing me with the meals, I’ll remain as a watchman and be happy to provide my service.

His wife told me, “I’m crying because I’ve finally found the 7th person my husband was giving this bag full of food. I knew my husband was giving to 7 people everyday, I had already found the 6 people, and all these days I was searching for the 7th person. And today I found out.”

From that day onward, I started to receive the bag full of food again, but this time his son was bringing it to my house and giving it to my hand. But whenever I thanked him, he never replied. Just like his dad!

One day, I told him THANK YOU in a very loud voice! He replied back to me to please not be offended when he doesn’t reply, because he has a hearing problem, just like his dad.”

Unexpected reaction

Afterwards:

This nail polish is long overdue! Please be sure to share this with all the amazing woman in your life to keep them safe.

One little boy was missing his dad so much he found a way to fill the void.

What would you do if this happened to you? Would you step in for a soldier that is protecting and serving your country, or would you turn him away?
