Trucker sees a distraught girl gazing out of RV window, rushes to save her

You never know what life prepares for you. An ordinary day may turn into a very memorable one. This is particularly true for Kevin Kimmel, a truck driver, who is always facing some up with strange happenings. One incident made him follow his suspicions and ended up in many news reports.

One day in January 2015, Kevin was on the road doing his duties. However, since the road is long, he needed to stop in New Kent in Virginia. While drinking his cup of coffee, he noticed something very strange.

He saw an RV parked near him. Through the window, he saw a woman. He couldn’t see details since there was a curtain in dark colours. Regarding this suspicion, he tells WTVR:

“An older RV, black curtains — in my world, that’s not natural.”

However, he couldn’t miss the worried face of the woman. The woman’s facial expressions signalled danger nearby.

Since he was strongly convinced that something is wrong with the woman, he called the police. It turned out that the man saved the woman’s life. The police took over the lady and they initiated the procedure.

“I’m just happy I helped her,” he said. “I’ve got daughters.”

Kevin and his co-workers are always on the road and they stay at places where victims might be staying for a while. Therefore, many times he or his co-workers have been in similar situation. Based on their experience, he tours the country and talks about his encounters, reports FOX8.

Just one phone call saved the lady. Imagine what can be done if we engage more in the community’s safety. We can drastically decrease the violence among the people. We need to be aware of the dangers that surround us.

Pilot calls out over the intercom and the guy in the back of the plane give a hilarious response

Nicole

Being on a plane always makes people uncomfortable. Even some minor disturbance can cause a panic for some people. We all know that flying is one of the safest means of transport, according to the statistics, yet we cannot be fully relaxed.

There is not a flight that’s smooth and perfect. Whether is the weather or some technical minor issues, people’s tension may echo throughout the plane. This is exactly what happened when a British Airways plane departed from the airport. However, one man on the plane saved the day.

The British plane took off and as soon as the plane reached the altitude, the captain announced:

“Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your captain. Welcome to Flight 293, non-stop from London Heathrow to New York .

The weather ahead is good, so we should have a smooth uneventful flight. So, sit back, relax, and… OH… MY GOD!”

People froze!

After several minuted, the captain again made another announcement:

“Ladies and Gentlemen, I’m sorry if I scared you. While I was talking to you, a flight attendant accidentally spilled coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my trousers!”

To this, an Irish passenger shouted:

“For the luvva Jaysus… you should see the back of mine!”

Doctor intentionally diagnosed healthy people with cancer to make money

Nicole

Cancer is a serious health problem that all people fight against. The disease is one of the leading causes of death for millions of people around the globe. Currently, millions of people are affected by the disease in its various forms.

According to the The World Health Organization (WHO), the cancer “ arises from the rapid creation of abnormal cells that grow beyond their usual boundaries. The change may be started by external agents and inherited genetic factors.”

They also add that,

“More than 60% of world’s total new annual cases occur in Africa, Asia, and Central and South America. These regions account for 70% of the world’s cancer deaths.”

This painful and fatal disease affects people of different age and different background. The treatment for cancer is also contributing to the person’s suffering and his/ her treatment is often agonizing and expensive.

According to the Cleveland Clinic:

“Chemotherapy and radiation destroy cancer cells. They also destroy normal cells in the process. These include cells of the protective lining of the mouth and the gastrointestinal tract. This can cause sores in the mouth and/or throat that are painful. The pain can be mild to severe.

The gastrointestinal tract can become irritated, which causes nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. These conditions are not permanent, and you might receive medicines to help relieve your symptoms. As your blood counts begin to recover after your infusion of stem cells, your mouth and throat will begin to heal, and nausea and vomiting will also improve.

Certain side effects can happen months or years after your transplant. They can be caused by radiation or chemotherapy, and some can be permanent, such as sterility. Secondary malignancies have been reported in some patients receiving radiation and certain types of chemotherapy. Ask your doctor for your specific risk. The risk varies depending on your age, menopausal status for women, previous history of radiation, type and doses of chemotherapy, type of transplant, and disease.”

We can’t imagine the pain these people go through. The cancer destroys the body, but the chemotherapy weakens the body even more. The loss of hair and weight also affect the person emotionally. Now, just imagine, as an addition to the pain and suffering, there is also the doctors’ mistakes!. Their bad decisions make the things even worse.

Dr. Farid Fata was a case just like that. He was an oncologist in Michigan, working in Detroit. This doctor made people suffer quite a lot.

He was arrested and accused of giving cancer medicine and treatment to people who did not even need them. He also did these treatments to people who didn’t have any signs of cancer.

According to U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade:

“Dr. Fata did not care for patients; he exploited them as commodities. He over-treated, under-treated and outright lied to patients about whether they had cancer so that he could maximize his own profits.”

He was intentionally doing that, even though he knew chemotherapy is toxic. He “gave poison to these people not to keep them alive but to make money. “

Patients who spent money on treatments given by him managed to get some of the funds back. Chris Sneary was a patient fof his for 3 years and he says:

“I gave full and total trust to this man to get me and my family through this journey I was about to begin. Dr. Fata took full advantage of my trust in him, my fear of dying and, most of all, my top of the line health insurance.”

Another victim of cancer, Donald Crabtree, left a statement regarding his experience. By the time Fata was on a trial, Donald’s died and his wife read the statement in court:

“None of the tumors were helped – they increased in number, they increased in size… I believe Dr. Fata knowingly and purposely treated me for the wrong cancer and gave me the wrong chemotherapy.”

He was charged in 2015 and ordered to forfeit $17,600,000 by the U.S. District Court Judge Paul Borman.

He admitted it all. He said that he was giving cancer treatments and chemotherapy. Some 553 patients were victims of his ill-doing.

He also added:

“I have violated the Hippocratic oath and violated the trust of my patients. I do not know how I can heal the wound. I do not know how to express the sorrow and the shame. They came to me seeking compassion and care. I failed them. My sins are many.”

The federal prosecutors described him as “most egregious fraudster in the history of this country.”.

“This is the most egregious case of fraud and deception that I have seen in my career. Dr. Fata not only defrauded the government out of millions of dollars, but he lied to his patients about their health and intentionally put their lives at risk.

The victims vengeance was very symbolic. All victims came to the court at the last day of the trial. All of them wore yellow outfit. Their message was that yellow symbolizes the sun, and today is the last day he will see sun again. He got 45 years behind bars.

Chief Weber said:

In fact, because of his lies, some of those patients who he was entrusted to care for likely died as a result of his actions. This defendant ‎greedily cared more about his own financial well-being than the lives of his patients. This disgusting and diabolical scheme has hurt hundreds of patients and their families and stolen from them something that no punishment from the court can do to make them whole.”

After plenty of heartache Sandra Bullock seems to have finally found her soulmate, and her kids love him too

Nicole

With millions of fans and extremely rich film career, Sandra Bullock is one of the most recognizable Hollywood stars. For a very long time period she has been starring in our favourite films. Her smile and charm are just amazing.

However, her private life has not been that perfect as her professional career. In several interviews in the past she has been talking about her privacy and love life.

Nevertheless, Bullock is not like those people who like to share details of her private life. She has never talked about details and she keeps her profile low. In her life, she has been in several love relationships, and all of them have not ended happily.

In 1996, she said:

“For a year I was by myself trying to date and I’m telling you dating was the worst experience I ever had,” she said. “I seem to have attracted everyone whose intentions were not the best. Just people who’s intentions were so not in tune morally with mine. They were nice people but they just weren’t suited for me and that’s hard because I seriously thought I’m never ever going to find anybody that will love me and just enjoy life.”

In 1992, Sandra Bullock has filmed Love Potion No. 9. Tate Donovan was starring in the film as well. This professional collaboration resulted with a love romance between these two Hollywood stars. However, this romance lasted only two years and they separated.

She never told us why they separated. Instead, she says:

“I adored Tate so much. It’s like they say, there’s one person in your life, and Tate and I are closer than any two people I’ve ever experienced in my life. There’s nobody that means more to me, and I know for a fact that I mean the most to him, in that certain way. I can’t explain why things worked out the way they did. We both know why it happened.”

One year after the separation with Donovan, Sandra Bullock met her first husband – Jesse James. Prior this marriage she was dating Matthew McConaughey and Ryan Gossling.

Sandra and Jesse were announced as ‘odd couple’. People said that they do not match, but she was always saying:

“No one knows what someone is like based on appearance.”

The love romance between Bullock and James lasted five years. Bullock has been devastated upon finding out that James has been cheating on her. That even shadowed her Oscar win that year.

As soon as she found out that James was cheating on her, she started the process of adopting her son Louis and filed for a divorce.

In 2010 the couple divorced. Sandra adopted Louis in April that year and she said “he’s just perfect, I can’t even describe him any other way.”

It took her five years to adopt her second child. She adopted her daughter Laila in 2015.

“When you adopt a child, there’s a placement period, and if something goes sideways, they have the right to take the child away. It’s a tenuous, strenuous six months,” she said.

With two kids and happy family, Bullock enjoyed the life. However, one photography session led Bullock into another romance. She met the photographer Bryan Randall in 2015.

Since then, Randall and Bullock have been in a happy relationship. They are very happy together. Bullock with the two kids and Randall with his daughter function perfectly.

Both of them say they are soulmates. Besides the love, what keeps them together is the perfect harmony in the family, especially the importance of the kids.

Sandra’s kids accepted the Randall’s son and they love him. Regarding this she says:

“He’s super kind. For the kids he’s sort of No. 1 and I’m No. 2,” she told InStyle.
“But I get it because he’s more fun and has better treats.”

We are all glad she finally found her love. Bullock deserves all the best in her life!

Desperate dad has gut feeling about missing teen son, hires helicopter for $800 and sees a car wreck

Nicole

Parents are very protective when their children’s safety is concerned. The safety and well-being of the kids is priority number one for many parents.

Tony and Lee Lethbridge from Australia are like all other parents out there. Their worries about the safety of their son Samuel shook them like never before. One night Samuel did not show up home.

The 17-year old teenager did not come home one Saturday night. To make the things worse, he did not answer to any of his parents messages and phone calls.

This led to panic. The parents were frustrated by this situation and very worried about their son’s life. Many things came across their mind.

Very soon the parents reported Samuel missing. However, since the period from his disappearance was very short, the police told them to wait. But, parents can’t wait in such situations.

Therefore, the father began the search for his son. The first thing he did was calling Samuel’s friends. He was looking for any kind of information that may result with finding the son.

One of Samuel’s friends told Tony that Samuel was planning a trip to the nearby city in order to meet his girlfriend. He also added that Samuel was too tired that period.

This rang the bell. The panic and worries increased. Unpleasant thoughts took over Tony’s mind.

The story reached The Sydney Morning Herald. Tony told the papers:

”Everybody was saying he’s probably run away … but that’s just not Samuel.”

Tony’s hunch was that his son was involved into a car accident. The moment he learnt that Samuel was driving that local road, he remembered the car accident that happened in the past. The terrible accident that happened some years ago resulted with a death of the driver. He was found five days after the accident itself. This story even further panicked the father.

“That was in my head, so I just thought, ‘Bugger this, I’m not going to sit around and wait,’” he explained.
“With the way the bush is there, if a car goes in you’re not going to see it. The only way you’ll see it is from the air. And that’s what we did.”

Australia’s extremely hot weather and its wildlife made the search a race against the time. Tony said:

“I said to my wife, ‘I’m not going to wait any longer. I’m going to hire a helicopter and go looking for him.’”

The fastest means of transport that Tony could find in the search of Samuel was a helicopter. He rented a helicopter for $800.

The helicopter was rented from Skyline Aviation Group and paid directly by the desperate father.

Since Tony could not handle flying with the helicopter, Samuel’s uncle went along for the ride.

As soon as the helicopter took off, the pilot was instructed to fly around the area Tony has pointed out. It was the place where the past tragedy occurred.

It took them only 10 minutes to locate a wrecked car. The white car was in the exact location Tony has talked about. The location was close to Newcastle, Australia.

The car could not be seen from the highway because of the thick vegetation. However, from the sky, you could easily spot the wrecked white car.

The family recognized the car and they started climbing down to their son.

They found Samuel stuck in the car. He wasn’t able to move.

He was trapped in the car for some 30 hours, without water and food. He also had some serious injuries.

The authorities cut Samuel free and they pulled him out of the vehicle. Tony recalls:

“He spoke to me when I got down to the car. I grabbed him and I said: ‘Mate, dad’s got you’.”

As soon as he saw his father, Samuel said: “I’d love a drink”.

Samuel was transferred to the local hospital. He had broken arm and leg in addition to the back and leg injuries.

The family started a fund-rising website in order to cover Samuel’s recovery.

Really great job Tony! You saved Samuel’s life.

Indeed a great story! Tony showed to a all of us that we can make a change. With clear mind and dedication we can put our resources in helping not just our dearest, but all people out there.

Father is arrested for ‘throwing daughter, six, down flight of steps because she argued with brother, three, over who should get to push shopping trolley’ at Ukrainian mall

Monica Pop

The staff from a supermarket in Ukraine were shocked after they checked the CCTV footage and saw one man throwing his young daughter down the steps. This made them frustrated and mad, so they decided to share the video on Facebook hoping someone would recognize this cruel father. And that’s exactly what happened. Someone was able to identify the man as the 46-year old Artem, a father of four.

Police have been alerted of this incident that took place in Ukraine’s northern Rivne area and are taking matters into their hands.

It’s obvious from the footage how the man is angry at his six-year-old daughter, Anzhelika, and the reason he does the gruesome act is because she and her little brother got into a fight over the trolley. The father, however, denies pushing his daughter and claims how she fell all by herself, after she tried to release her arm from his grip.

Apparently, that’s not what the footage shows.

The poor girl is totally shocked from what happened to her and is left laying on the floor as her father casually walks back inside the store.

The sad thing is that many people witnessed the incident, by no one approached Anzhelika who picked herself up and headed to the store, unsure whether she should enter or just stay and wait outside. Luckily, authorities reported that she didn’t suffer any serious injuries from the fall, except for some bruises.

‘The video drew the attention of the police after being posted on Facebook. Thanks to the local residents the man was quickly identified.

‘The police visited the man’s family and his wife recognised him and their daughter in the video,’ the police spokeswoman Zoriana Melnyk reported.

During questioning, Artem told the police the same story once again. He said how he got angry because the children were fighting inside the store, and he only tried to calm them down, but the girl accidentally fell down the stairs. ‘I just wanted to take her aside but when we were on the porch she pulled her arm out and fell.’

Currently, social services are closely monitoring the children and the family. As for Artem, he’s been charged with parental neglect.

Alla Ilyina, the head of Child Protective Service, said: ‘The girl will be registered as a child who experienced abuse from her parent and her living conditions are going to be monitored by social service workers.

‘We will also work with the parents to correct their attitude to their duties.’

Anzhelika’s mother claims how her husband is a great father who experiences short breakdowns every now and then.

She said: ‘His [Artem’s] wife was in hospital for a week and he had to deal with four little children on his own.

‘I do not say that he was right but I think he did it because of tiredness and exhaustion.

‘He is a good father but everybody can have a little nervous breakdown.’

Galyna Babik, a woman next door, said: ‘I have often seen him playing with his children. I could not believe he had done such a thing until I saw the video.’

Oleksy Dvoretsky, a local resident, said: ‘Nobody here could believe that a father is capable to do something like that to his own child. Everybody is shocked.’

The investigation is still on and we don’t know whether Artem would be found guilty for what he did, but the police says in case he is, his punishment would be a year of penal labor.

Take a look at the chilling incident in the video below.

UPS driver of 43 years retires after 6 million miles, says God is why he never had single accident

Nicole

When you are young and dedicated to building a successful career you never think about the retirement. The common opinion is that it’s far away and we never give a second thought about it. But when we do retire, we know we have accomplished something useful and good in our lives.

This is how Jimmy Christopher Howard feels like. This resident of Atlanta has been recently retired. He ended his career with excellent score and he is proud to say that he was a good worker.

He has been driving for UPS 43 years. His fascinated career was marked by something that many of the other drivers can’t claim.

He has been driving the busy city streets since 1975. Imagine the stress and frustration of being stuck in the traffic jam. Bad feeling, right?

However, no matter the stress and the traffic jam, Jimmy ended his career with a perfect record. He has been driving the streets safely. He wasn’t involved in any accidents nor he endangered the safety of the other people.
Nevertheless, Jimmy is a modest man and doesn’t acknowledge his capabilities. For FOX 5 he says:

“A lot of luck, but I think God’s been with me most of the way. And great training from our management staff.”

This man drove some 6 million miles during his career. He started driving at the age of 22.

His usual rout was from Atlanta to Mississippi, which means he had to cover some 525 miles each day.

His retirement was saluted and congratulated by his co-workers as well. When he walked off the job, the truckers blasted the horns of the trucks. This salute was very touching for Jimmy. He was acknowledged for his career by the company and the staff.

On Jimmy’s Facebook post many people and co-workers congratulated Jimmy. Rokeia Gravely posted:

“The salute you get after 43 years of service and a perfect driving record at UPS!”

Another person wrote:

“Congratulations!! Enjoy your retirement!!”

One friend of his added:

“Congratulations may God bless you on your next journey and enjoy your retirement well deserved.”

His wife was very proud and happy for her husband. Her sincere post said:

“I am so very proud of you…” she wrote.
“I know it is a bitter sweet time… I know they are going to miss you…” she added. “There will never be another driver quite like you I am sure. Time to celebrate the next stage of your life. You have earned it!!! I love you with all my heart.”

Really incredible career. This an excellent example for all us. With drivers like Jimmy, the number of accidents will decrease significantly. Congrats Jimmy!

Energy drinks ‘eat away’ man’s tongue – now he’s warning everyone

Nicole

Thousands of times you have heard about the side effects of excessive drinking of fizzy drinks, particularly energy drinks. The chemicals and the sugar they contain, according to the doctors, are in no way healthy for our bodies.

Even though we are aware of all of these warnings, we still drink them and enjoy them. The taste and the freshness they provide lure people to consume them on regular basis.

Dan Royals, a teacher, is just like all of us. He was aware of the possible side effects of the usage of such drinks, but he was drinking these energy drinks no matter what. However, the warnings turned out to be true. His tongue was heavily damaged by the drinks. The doctors point out that the energy drinks are the cause of such damage.

He posted his problem on Facebook. He uploaded a photo of the damaged tongue and wrote:

“Who drinks energy drinks? Addicted to them? May wanna think again.
Have a look at the 2nd pic ….. That’s what that shit does to your tongue, imagine what’s it like on your internals?

Up until recently when this started to occur I was drinking at least 5-6 a day (lack of energy teaching kids usually) and I brush daily, went to the doctor and boom! Found out it’s the chemicals in these drinks that are causing it… It literally eats away at your tongue.”

He also tells us that he is a smoker but smoking is not the reason for such damage. He adds:

“So be wary guys. Just to make it clear, I actually do care for my oral health but this is purely from these drinks… I do smoke but has nothing to do with the eating away of my tongue.”

Official warning

Dan is just of many who points out that too much consumption of energy drinks leads to some serious health issues. The World Health Organization is also talking about this issue. They told a British newspaper:

“A study in the US showed that dental cavities can result from the acidic pH and high-sugar content of products such as energy drinks.”

They also add:

“Another study showed that consumption of energy drinks can cause erosion and smear layer removal in the teeth, leading to cervical dentin hypersensitivity.”

These things should not be ignored. People should consider such warnings very seriously. Maybe momentarily we are not aware of the terrible side effects, but these cases like Dan’s give us clear picture of the possible outcome.

There are always substitutes for energy drinks or fizzy drinks, use the alternatives!

Little girl waves to passing train every day, 3 years later conductor sees sign in window

Monica Pop

When was the last time you did something nice for a complete stranger? Now, if you think this question is silly and you believe you shouldn’t bother being there for someone you don’t even know, remember that doing good always repays. Being nice to people, including those random individuals you get to meet every day, may influence their life more than you can ever imagine. Plus, you never know who of those strangers is there to stay and become an important part of your life.

The story Briana Hefley Shepard posted on the Facebook page of Love What Matters speaks of the unusual friendship between a little girl named Rio and the train conductors who were eagerly waiting for this young lady to wave at them from her big window.

This is going to melt your heart. Make sure you read the story till the end.

“My family’s business moved into their new location about three years ago. It’s located right along the train tracks, which means we get a front row seat to all of the locomotive action. Rio lives for it.

It didn’t take long for the conductors to notice Rio waving to them and for them to return those waves. As time progressed, it became their ritual. They’d blow their whistles, she’d run to the window, they’d open their windows, and everyone would wave and smile ear to ear. I teared up almost every single time.”

“Then a few weeks ago, Rio started school.

Her transition to daily school hit me a little harder than I was expecting, but it hit me the hardest the first day the train came when she wasn’t there.

They blew their whistles, they opened their windows, but I was the only one standing there just crying and weakly waving. The next day I made a sign. I simply wrote ‘She started school.’ I heard the whistle, ran to the window, and held up my sign. That was three weeks ago.”

“Oh, Did I Cry.”

“This morning almost minutes after I walked into the shop, someone knocked on the door. It was a man in a bright yellow shirt with ear plugs hanging down. I assumed he was a construction worker coming to talk construction, because that’s what we do here. I was wrong. He was there to ask about the little girl with the blonde hair that waved to the trains.

He was one of the conductors and they’d all been wondering what had happened to her. Today they’d had a short train, so they stopped down the tracks, walked to our building, and knocked on our door. Oh, did I cry. They had seen my sign, but couldn’t make out what it said. They had assumed she’d started school, but had to make sure. He said that her waves had made their days. For three years they’d shared these moments.”

“They want to do something for her; they miss her. He asked if they could send her something, to which I said of course! They are going to send her a birthday present in a few weeks.

Witnessing their unconventional friendship over the past several years has been nothing short of magical. To know it impacted them just as much as it impacted us, fills me with love and hope. The visit today and their ongoing kindness to Rio has reaffirmed my faith in goodness and humanity. These are moments we’ll always remember.”

Keanu Reeves goes on epic road trip with strangers after plane emergency lands

Monica Pop

Keanu Reeves is unlike any other Hollywood celebrity, that’s for sure. This genuine actor is known for his heart of gold and all those charity projects he funds. Where there is need of help, there is Keanu. This man is so humble that he opts for living a simple life, like that of the ordinary people. Traveling with private planes, driving fast cars, and dining at exclusive restaurants isn’t his thing.

Recently, he was among the passengers who were taking a flight to Burbank, L.A when the plane was forced to land in San Francisco. Although an emergency landing was in question, everything was fine, except for the fact that all those people were stuck in the wrong city. Bakersfield was around 100 miles from their destination and they were considering ways of getting there.

Keanu took the time to make sure everyone was perfectly fine and took some pictures with the fans, after which he did the most amazing thing. He arranged for a minibus to get all these people from the place and get them to the nearest city. Some were worried for having to leave their luggage behind, but Keanu convinced them it will arrive safely to L.A.

And as everyone expected for the actor to continue his journey in a private car, he surprised the passengers and got into the minibus himself. Someone reported how he even came up with a playlist of a local band of country music to make their traveling more fun. Isn’t this man one-of-a-kind?

Once they arrived in L.A, Keanu told his fellow passengers how it was his pleasure to meet them all. He then headed at Carl’s Jr burger joint. People were left overwhelmed by the experience. Well, it’s not everyday that you get to hang out with the Matrix guy.

Mom sparks outrage after insisting that parents should seek ‘consent’ from their kids before changing diapers

Nicole

Parents tend to teach their kids to be independent and autonomous. They teach them to decide what’s good and what’s bad, and what suits the best for them. Parents start doing that really early and the process of preparing the kids to face the reality of life is a long one. Lottie Daley, a friend of Russell Brand, gives a different perspective of this independence.

Lottie was a guest in ‘This Morning’ and the interview is about this – independence of the kids and their autonomous choices. Lottie talks about the our own choices, or more specifically the autonomy of our bodies. This process of learning about the autonomy starts from the birth of the child.

Lottie explains herself in details. According to her, we should always make sure we get the ‘approval’ of the child, whenever we want to do something to them. As one of the illustrations she provides is changing diapers. We should allow the kids to be aware of what’s going to happen to them.

Getting straightforward answers like ‘yes’ of ‘no’ at the early stages may not be possible, but that’s not a problem for letting the kid know what’s really going on. Lottie adds that children might be OK when they know what’s happening to them. Giving permission requires discussion and children should be trained to decide what’s good and what’s bad for them.

Additionally, Lottie exemplifies these statements with concrete personal situation. She talks about her daughters and simple acts like tickling. Lottie explains that her daughters are aware of this ‘giving a permission’ and they are completely fine if Mum tickles them. However, they are totally not fine with being tickled by someone else. Upon asking them if it is OK to be tickled by some else, they say ‘no’. The permission is granted to the mother only. They add that they are comfortable exclusively with their own mother.

Nevertheless, Lottie was not the only guest in ‘This Morning’. Vanessa Feltz does not share Lottie’s opinion. She argues that simple acts like tickling for example is showing love to someone, not a physical threat that requires permission.

She also adds that tickling is a very innocent act, an interaction with a child that means care and playfulness. It means that you like the child and he/ she is dear to you. Vanessa understands the autonomy of the child in totally different way than Lottie. Some minor interactions with the kids is not an invasion to the personal space.

Anyhow, Interesting opinions. What’s your opinion on this? Would you agree with Vanessa’s opinion or Lottie’s claims?

Luke Bryan hands American Idol contestant the boots off his feet

Monica Pop

Colby Swift is unlike most American teenagers. This 19-year-old cowboy and fence-painter from Midfield, Texas is likely to get far in one of the best talent shows on the planet, American Idol.

What is special about this boy is that he’s a God given talent. Believe it or not, before he got to take the big stage and stand in front of the audience and the panel of judges, he never sang in public. And yes, he’s never been to Hollywood either. But that was all about to change. As you already assume, he did both in one night. He performed “Cast No Stones” by Cody Jinks and got a ticket to the Hollywood round. This boy says of himself, “I’m just me, I’m Colby Swift. I ain’t gotta be nobody else,” and we love how confident he is.

The strict judges had a lot to say about his performance. Some loved it, some not that much, but they all agreed how Colby’s talent was on spot. What he lacked was practice. However, for someone singing live for the first time, he nailed it, and judge Luke didn’t want this boy to leave the show empty-handed. After everyone took their time to comment Colby’s singing, he got three yeses, which was more than enough for him to go to the next round.

During the Hollywood Week, Colby chose to perform “Before The Next Teardrop Falls” by Freddy Fender, while playing the guitar. But in the middle of the song, judge Luke asked Colby to continue singing without his guitar, as though he could feel the a capella performance this contestant was about to give would be something truly extraordinary. Colby’s voice touched everyone and enchanted the crowd. As for the judges, they all gave this cowboy standing ovations. Later, Colby described this once-in-a-lifetime experience as the best he’s ever had, saying: “To have Luke Bryan, Lionel Richie, and Katy Perry stand up for me – that’s a blessing, man…I’d never thought I’d do that.”

But, as it turned out, the judges weren’t done preparing surprises for this young man. When the time came for the contestants that go to the next round to be announced, Luke Bryan asked Colby to step forward. The cowboy’s heart was racing as he was impatiently waiting to hear whether he’d stay on the show or go home, when Luke asked him, “What size shoe are you, Colby?” This definitely wasn’t what Colby expected to hear.

The audience was also left puzzled and was waiting in anticipation to understand what was going on. Apparently, Luke spotted some holes in Colby’s boots and was willing to give him his, saying, “Those boots are made for walking to the next round.” Wow! Isn’t this the best way of announcing someone’s going to the next round? Amazing!

This is definitely something you should check out yourself. As for Colby, we do believe he’s a real star in the making.

Old man playing piano gets unlikely singing partner in train station

Monica Pop

The encounter between two complete strangers and music lovers that took place at the St. Pancras train station turned into a memorable experience that was quickly spread all over the social media.

This wasn’t the first time for 91-year-old Denis Robinson of London, England to visit this public place. He occasionally stops by and makes passersby’s day with the lovely music he produces on the big piano. This time, however, another person joined his performance and what they did is mesmerizing.

As Denis was casually playing, he caught the attention of Ceili O’Connor, an actress playing Gumbie/Jennyanydots in “Cats.” She and some of her fellow colleagues were taking the train as they tour the globe performing the musical. Ceili’s friend, Matthew Rowland, who plays Skimbleshanks in the show knew something very unique was about to take place once he saw Ceili approaching the elderly man, so he grabbed his phone and started recording.

Ceili’s vocal abilities are really powerful. Currently, she understudies for Grizabella, the character singing “Memories.” She once again showed her talent by letting her voice loose at the open space of the train station. She placed her arm on Denis’ shoulder and started singing “Somewhere Over The Rainbow.” The old man’s music, and this young girl’s singing complement each other just perfectly.

People stopped doing what they were doing and gathered around these two amazing performers. Everyone was having a great time and got to enjoy a great show.

Matthew shared the video on Twitter, writing: “We’re on our way to Brussels for the next leg of @CatsMusical tour. I saw this guy playing and called @CeiliOConnor as I knew he needed a singing partner. Captured a bit of the magic here. He was so sweet, saying Ceili ‘made his day’ and that she must be ‘in a show.’ Precious x”

He didn’t expect for it to go viral in such a short time. Tweeter users were praising Ceili and Denis for bringing so much joy to everyone that day.

Ceili was flattered so many people saw the video and took their time to comment. She took to Twitter to thank everyone, writing: “Thank you for all the kind responses but the real star is my lovely new friend on the piano who lifted us all up by sitting down and playing his heart out. I could have sang with him all day.”

“I wanted to share this wonderful man with you because he certainly loves later life and is proving you can still spread joy and do what you love later on in life,” she added.

This serendipitous encounter reminded us just how little it takes to be happy. Apparently, you only need a piano, and a great vocal, as well as some creative urge.

Ceili and the rest of the cast will be next performing in Brussels, Belgium, and we hope they’ll enjoy a great success.

Take a look at Ceili and Denis’ performance in the video below.

We’re on our way to Brussels for the next leg of @CatsMusical tour. I saw this guy playing and called @CeiliOConnor as I knew he needed a singing partner. Captured a bit of the magic here.

Mom loses it when teen brings home fake baby from school

Nicole

Lawren Cole Galloway, a mother of four children, got a very unpleasant surprise by her teen daughter. Olivia, the oldest child, was 14 years old and one night she brought home a crying baby. This shocked the mother. With all of her duties and responsibilities, she couldn’t handle raising another baby, even though she knew very well how to take care of a small baby. Olivia, on the other hand, had no clue.

However, as a good mother, she did help her daughter. Whenever Olivia was having a problem with the baby, whenever the baby started crying loudly, Lawren was there to take some pictures. She started giving her daughter a real-life lesson. Besides giving her daughter a good lesson, she was persistent to make her daughter give William back.

Fortunatelly for the teenager William is not a real baby. He is a baby doll, very real in appearance and needs. He was programmed to show all types of behaviour of a real baby. He was even programmed to cry for some natural ‘needs’.

Lawren posted the story on Facebook and she wrote:

“Meet William. He’s Olivia’s interactive baby assignment for her Early Childhood Education Class. Now, meet Olivia with William. She’s had him since Friday night. She is absolutely exhausted and ready to quit the class and give William back. (Maybe even throw him back).”

This was a very educational experience for both of them. While Lawren was having fun looking at her daughter’s struggle, Olivia was very annoyed.

“She was crying real tears while feeding him his bottle. She was begging me to help her because she just wanted to get some sleep. ?? Yeah, no.”

<– wp:image {“id”:38417} –>

Lawren further explains the Olivia’s struggle. She adds that William’s crying and ‘call for attention’ made Olivia’s dinners mess. She couldn’t properly eat or take care of herself. Lawren wrote:

“Long story short, Olivia had to warm her plate up 3 times. His feedings were taking nearly 20 minutes, he required a burp, diaper change and about 12 minutes of rocking. After a disastrous dinner, Olivia went to take a shower. She loaded William up in his car seat and took him in the bathroom with her. She finished up rather quickly and explained that she decided to take a bath instead.”

This experience was very frustrating for Olivia. The simple everyday routines, like showering or washing the hair, became unreal. The baby was always in a need of a ‘mother’.

Fortunately, Monday was the day when William was supposed to be given back. Olivia couldn’t wait for that moment. Since the baby doll is programmed to record the mother’s babysitting score, she turned out to be a terrible mother. She failed in almost every task. The baby’s record showed ‘rough handling’.

Her mother wrote:

“Olivia failed her assignment. Having siblings in NO way prepared her for what it might be like to have her own child. This assignment should be mandatory for both boys and girls in high school.”

11-month-old boy who was ‘clinging onto life’ after falling into boiling water has died

Nicole

Update:

Daniil Chernenko, the baby boy from Ukraine who was fighting for his life, has lost the battle. Daniil has fallen into a bucket of hot water, while his mother was preparing him for bath.

This accident did a terrible damage to the boy’s skin. Almost 80 per cent of his skin was burnt. The doctors were trying very hard to save the boy’s life, but the damage was too great.

Eleven days he has been in the hospital. The critical condition did not improve. Just two days after his first birthday Daniil lost the battle.

The family’s shock is obvious. Their sorrow and grief for the boy cannot be explained with any words. Tatyana, his mother, cannot forgive herself for the accident and the death of her boy.

A tragedy that brought tears to our eyes.

Original Story:

Tatyana knew what to do and how to take clean her baby. The 11-month old baby boy Daniiel was Tatyana’s son. His tragic fate devastated the whole family.

One day, while Tatyana was preparing the boy for bath, a mistake led to a terrible accident. This accident later proved to be deadly for Daniiel.

The boy fell into a bucket with hot water. The accident happened during the process of mixing hot and cold water. While Tatyana was taking the cold water, the bucket with hot water was next to the table. Daniiel was very near it.

“I TURNED AND SAW HOW HE FELL IN THE BOILING WATER,” THE DISTRAUGHT MUM TOLD THE SUN.
“I RUSHED TO THE BUCKET AND PULLED HIM OUT.
“I HUGGED HIM, THEN WRAPPED HIM IN A COTTON CLOTH.
“WHEN I UNWRAPPED HIM, I SAW HIS SKIN WAS PEELING OFF.”

As soon as the deadly accident occurred, the boy was sent to the hospital in Odessa. The boy’s condition was critical.

80 per cent of the boy’s skin was horrible burnt. This life-threatening condition was known to the doctors and they were trying to give everything they could just to save the boy.

The only body parts that weren’t burnt were his toes, fingers and his forehead.

Later reports say that the medical team did everything they could just to save Daniiel’s life. However, they knew that the injuries are terrible and this may lead to certain death.

The hospital representative said for the media said:

“HIS CONDITION IS VERY SERIOUS,” VADIM SHUKHTIN, THE HEAD OF ODESSA REGION CLINICAL HOSPITAL, SAID.
“HE IS RECEIVING ALL POSSIBLE TREATMENT AND MEDICATION.”

The accident devastated and crushed Tatyana. She refused to leave the boy’s bedside and she was always blaming herself for this accident.

Nevertheless, police said that this is an accident and they will treat it like that.

We can’t imagine the parents’ pain. The loss of a child is a nightmare for every parent out there. Our prayers and thoughts are with Daniil’s family. May he rest in peace.

Let’s applaud this young savior with Down’s syndrome, who jumped in sea to save drowning girls

Nicole

Acts of heroism and bravery are rarity nowadays. In the past years there are less and less cases where individuals have heroically saved lives or helped other people in great need.

Many people do not want to risk their own life in order to help an individual that is in a dangerous situation. Also, there are people who panic due to such events and their help is not provided.

Valerio Catoia from Italy is not like most of us. First, he showed the world that he is a real hero, and second, he is not afraid to risk his life in order to help the others.

Valerio has Down’s Syndrome, but that didn’t stop him to think rationally and build his body and skills like a professional swimmer.

He has been swimming since he was a kid. He trained a lot in order to achieve his goals. Led by that notion, he was even training for the Special Olympics, where he actually swam.

His bravery and skills were put in action while he was walking the beautiful Lazio shores. He and his father were having a wonderful time. However, something got Valerio’s attention – young girls were drowning near the shore.

The peaceful time Valerio and his father had was interrupted by loud shouts and calls for help. What was even more dangerous to the girls were the currents. They were being pulled back into the ocean. These girls, ten and fourteen years old, desperately needed help.

Fortunately, Valerio was near them. Both, Valerio and his father, immediately jumped into action. They got in the sea, started swimming towards the girls and to their luck, the father and the son took them out of the sea.

Valerio knew very well the saving procedure. While he was swimming with the girl towards the shore, he tried to keep her head above the water. The girls were now safe thanks to the bravery of these two people.

As soon as the girls were safe, the lifeguards took over them. However, the real heroes of this saving operation are Valerio and his father. Without their help the girls’ fate would have been totally different.

People and media immediately acknowledged Valerio’s bravery. They recognized him as a brave and very good-hearted man.

We definitely need more people like Valerio. We need people that care about the others, that will do everything they can just to provide help and support to the others. Helping and supporting each other make us humans, we don’t want to see evil and selfishness in this world of ours. Bravo Valerio!

An Indian walks into a cafe….

Nicole

It’s time for a good laugh. Here is the joke that will put a smile on your face:

An Indian walks into a cafe….

An Indian walks into a cafe with a shotgun in one hand and pulling a male buffalo with the other. He says to the waiter:

“Want coffee.”

The waiter says, “Sure, Chief. Coming right up.”

He gets the Indian a tall mug of coffee.

The Indian drinks the coffee down in one gulp, turns and blasts the buffalo with the shotgun, causing parts of the animal to splatter everywhere and then just walks out.

The next morning the Indian returns.

He has his shotgun in one hand, pulling another male buffalo with the other.

He walks up to the counter and says to the waiter:

“Want coffee.”

The waiter says, “Whoa, Tonto! We’re still cleaning up your mess from yesterday. What was all that about, anyway?”

The Indian smiles and proudly says,

“Training for a position in United States Senate. Come in, drink coffee, shoot the bull, leave mess for others to clean up, disappear for rest of day.”

The Best Irish Joke Ever. This Is Gold.

Monica Pop

Whether it’s true or not, Irish are believed to be drinking to excess, so it doesn’t come as a surprise that there are a bunch of jokes about them regarding the consumption of liquor. However, we believe the one below is one of the best out there.

This is gonna make you burst out laughing 🙂

Two men were sitting next to each other at Murphys Pub in London. After awhile, one bloke looks at the other and says, “I can’t help but think, from listening to you, that you’re from Ireland.”

The other bloke responds proudly, “Yes, that I am!”

The first one says, “So am I! And where about from Ireland might you be?”

The other bloke answers, “Im from Dublin, I am.”

The first one responds, “So am I!”

“Mother Mary and begora. And what street did you live on in Dublin?”

The other bloke says, “A lovely little area it was. I lived on McCleary Street in the old central part of town.”

The first one says, “Faith and it’s a small world. So did I! So did I! And to what school would you have been going?”

The other bloke answers, “Well now, I went to St. Marys, of course.”

The first one gets really excited and says, “And so did I. Tell me, what year did you graduate?”

The other bloke answers, “Well, now, lets see. I graduated in 1964.”

The first one exclaims, “The Good Lord must be smiling down upon us! I can hardly believe our good luck at winding up in the same place tonight. Can you believe it, I graduated from St. Marys in 1964 my own self!”

About this time, Vicky walks up to the bar, sits down and orders a drink.

Brian, the barman, walks over to Vicky, shaking his head and mutters, “I’ts going to be a long night tonight.”

Vicky asks, “Why do you say that, Brian?”

“The Murphy twins are drunk again.”

2Cellos stunning version of Hallelujah

Monica Pop

Music has the power to lift our spirit up whenever we feel down. The notes and the tones allow our brain to relax as they positively affect all our senses. Different people prefer different music styles, but many agree how the instrumental music is what really touches the soul. No need of words, as the music alone speaks of itself and enables us to create our own story as we listen to the melody.

And now if you are a fan of this kind of music, then you are definitely going to fall in love with this instrumental cover of the all time hit “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen.

This song seems to be many artists’ first choice when it comes to renditions. It was first released back in 1984 with little success. Later, it was recorded again by Jeff Buckely. But it looks like it really rose to popularity after being featured in the film Shrek in 2001.

Ever since, the song has been performed by numerous musicians. However, many agree how the rendition done by 2CELLOS is one of the best.

This duo consists of Luka Sulic from Croatia and Stjepan Hauser from Slovenia. These incredibly talented cellists met when they were both just teenagers, and released their first video back in 2011; a rendition of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” that has staggering 830 million views on YouTube. Ever since, their instrumental music enchanted fans from all over the world. Other notable covers they performed are “Thunderstruck” and The Pirates of the Carribean theme.

This time, 2CELLOS did justice to “Hallelujah” and the result is too good to be put into words. It’s something you have to listen yourself. Enjoy!

Man spots odd silver jeep at Walmart for weeks, decides to approach driver

Nicole

Veterans who have been fighting for the nation deserve more financial and moral support. They gave everything just to serve the country. Therefore, they deserve to be socially and financially secured as our payback to their contribution.

Being a veteran and homeless is not just unfair, but even depressing. Imagine the pain those veterans feel. Their sacrifice for the nation’s well-being led them to the streets. This is exactly how Nick, a US veteran, felt.

Nick’s story is known to us due to Jake Holloway’s actions. This regular guy accidently found out what Nick was struggling with.

Jack is as a regular customer to Walmart and Target in Altoona. He has been shopping there regularly and one interesting thing caught his attention. Whenever he went to the stores, he couldn’t but notice a silver Jeep parked in the parking space.

One day he was curious enough to find out what’s really going on with this vehicle. As he approached the Jeep, he was shocked by what he saw.

There was a sticker on the window with ‘I served’ written on it. Jack immediately figured it out that the owner of the Jeep was a US veteran. He decided to talk to him.

Nick, the veteran’s name, was kind enough to explain Jack everything about himself. His story is very sad.

Nick has been serving in Iraq as a US soldier. He has been in Iraq four times and defended nation’s interests. However, Nick told Jack that his wife left him after the fourth tour. This led to losing everything he had, except his Jeep and his dog.

This situation ruined him. With all those existential problems and the emotional breakdown, Nick had nowhere to go. He has been sleeping in his Jeep for some time.

Even though he had a job at the Department of Transportation, he hasn’t been paid off yet. That even increased his problems.

This touched Jack very deeply. Aware of Nick’s problems and needs, he decided to help him out. As soon as Jack went back home, he posted this story on Facebook. The help of the community was needed.

Regarding his encounter with the veteran, Jack says:

“Told him I liked his Jeep. He liked my Toyota.”

He adds:

“And, I asked him if he was alright. He told me his name was Nick and after he had got back from overseas his wife left him and left him with his Jeep and his dog. He’s got no money and broke as a joke. Told me he just got a job at the DOT but hasn’t been paid yet. Said he had started selling things off the Jeep to have any money at all.”

Jake continued:

“It broke my heart. If you wanna do something for someone out of pure selflessness, please…,” Jake said, imploring others to help. “If you see him. Out of the kindness of your heart. Do something nice for him or his best friend (the boxer dog). Few bucks. A gift. Some dog food. That’s my request. Makes me sick to see a soldier on the street.”

The message that has been sent was successful. Many people learnt about Nick through Jack’s post. The help that was needed was about to be provided.

In just a short time since the posting of the story, many people donated money, cards and supplies to Nick. They even donated for Nick’s dog.

WHO-TV reports that one man was so deeply affected by the story that he went to Walmart and paid for Nick and his dog a week in a hotel.

Nick’s happiness and gratitude were enormous.

Thanks to Jack and his good heart, Nick’s story is now known to us. This man could have ignored the veteran, but he did something else. He did everything he could just to help the veteran.

People also showed that they do care about the veterans. Their support, financial and moral, encouraged Nick to fight for better life and improving his existential capacities.

This story is what we really need. People should help each other, provide support and encouragement even when the institutions have forgotten to do so. If we don’t help each other, who will?

Girl With Anxiety Gives Boyfriend a List of Tips on How to Deal With Her and People Should Read It

Nicole

Rare occasions of anxiety are a normal emotional condition. Isolated cases of anxiety can happen to anyone, depending on the emotional situation of the person. However, regular anxiety problems that lead to panic attack or extreme nervousness can be classified as medical conditions. People who suffer from anxiety disorder know how scary and painful it is. What’s even more discouraging is that people who are around us may not understand what’s really going on and they may not know what kind of help to provide to the person who has problems with anxiety, particularly when the panic attacks occur.

Led by this notion, and also by the idea of raising people’s awareness on anxiety disorder, Kelsey Darragh posted a very detailed personal reflections on the disorder. Her post was specifically published for enlightening the people how to help a person with anxiety disorder in case of a panic attack. The Buzzfeed writer posted a list of things that can help her overcome the panic attack and normalize her body. This list was made for her boyfriend. Since he did not have any idea how to help his girlfriend when these attacks occur, this list may be found quite useful.

I have panic & anxiety disorder. My boyfriend does not… but wants to understand it so he can help me. SO I made him this list! Feel free to share w ur loved ones that need guidance! pic.twitter.com/k8pcCfzMcj
— kelsey darragh (@kelseydarragh) May 11, 2018

Kelsey’s list starts with her emotional condition. She explains to her boyfriend that panic attacks make her feel scared and that it should not make him annoyed. She doesn’t know why she feels scared, but she knows what helps her to overcome that feeling.

She continues with the importance of breathing. Kelsey’s explaining her boyfriend about the breathing exercises and how that helps her calm down.
Furthermore, she emphasise the medicines. The boyfriend is required to give her medicines, which may be nearby.

What’s really helping Kelsey in such kind of attacks is showing her love and support. She notes that kind words do help. Reminding her that these kinds of attacks had happened in the past and she overcame them really helps her calm down.

Kelsey does not forget the feelings as well. She explains her boyfriend that these attacks make her embarrassed, particularly because these attacks makes him uncomfortable. Having such a feeling of guilt makes the attack even worse.

She reaches the end of the list by telling him that after sever hours everything will be normal again. When things settle down, they should discuss about the attack. These discussions provide an opportunity to change something, an act or a word, when the new one strikes again.

People’s response to Kelsey’s account was huge. More than 10,00 retweets have been noted and people left hundreds of comments.

If you’re somewhere inside then go outside and try stabilizing your breathing. Fresh air will always help.

Focus on something, preferably a bright color and continue to focus your breathing.

talking quiet and trying to keep space between me and strangers is really helpful. having a playlist with calming music is helpful for me so having quick access is really good but idk if that helps for you
— sage (@scrxfano) May 11, 2018

Usually after the worst is through I have some songs / tv shows / etc. that help me feel better and more like a person in my body.
Also quiet and a lot of space from people (not complete isolation) physically when it happens. Definitely no touching for me, grounding words help!

My anxiety attacks can be quite dissociative (with seizure like effects), a big thing I've found helpful is to firmly massage localized areas (like my shoulders). I concentrate on the pressure, its grounding without having to think & not too overstimulating. Your bf can do it too

Many learnt about anxiety through Kelsey’s post.

I had no idea panic attacks could last hours. I thought it was like 10-15 mins.
— mango (@GlassMyth) May 13, 2018

Yep! – it's also the aftermath of an attack affecting you for hours afterwards, causing confusion, dissociation, fragility, fatigue, poor concentration, etc. It's an intense experience that can take a lot out of you and leave you feeling off, even hours after it passes.
— C Y Δ N::: ꕥ (@cyanophytae) May 15, 2018

no probs! i mean, attacks range in intensity depending on the person and the situation… some attacks certainly might pass after a short amount of time and not every attack needs hours of processing afterwards, but it does happen✌️
— C Y Δ N::: ꕥ (@cyanophytae) May 16, 2018

Why is breathing here 3 times?
— Ghalta! (@Alex1Lime) May 22, 2018

because it's so important and it's easy to hyperventilate or hold your breath during an attack which can lead to collapsing
— Kristabelle (@KristabelleDyer) May 28, 2018

beautiful straight talk
— geerue (@geerue) May 24, 2018

Different people react differently to panic attack. However, what’s common to all of them is the help they need. Support and kind words may improve their condition. Whenever you deal with a person with anxiety disorder, talk to him/ her – it means a lot to them.

76 year old woman feels like movie star after makeover

Monica Pop

Some people defy their age and look absolutely stunning even in their 70s and 80s. And as many believe this is due to good genes, others say how the way we live defines the way we look. It’s a fact that stress and unsettling life experiences have a negative impact on person’s physical appearance. From deep wrinkles, to untreated skin, many people lose the will to take care of themselves and end up looking way older than they really are.

This was the case with the 76-year-old woman named Phoebe. Her life was full of challenges as she found herself moving places after she spent forty-nine years of her life living in Vermont. Coping with this drastic change wasn’t easy as she started feeling devastated and depressed. That didn’t only affect her looks, but her health too. And as soon as she started feeling a bit better, she experienced the greatest loss of her life; her son passed away.

After the ordeal this woman had to go through, she felt like she needed a change and decided it should start from the way she looked. And who can make a woman feel beautiful again if not the amazingly talented Christopher Hopkins. The Makeover Guy isn’t just an expert in hairstyles and make-up, but a true artist when it comes to helping boost people’s self-esteem.

Phoebe’s white hair got a different color and her new hairstyle and make -up shed a couple of years off her now fresher looking face. Her dark clothes were replaced with ones of vivid colors. The happiness is evident, as Phoebe herself admits feeling rejuvenated. This positive change affecting her appearance also affected the way she sees life. Positivity became part of her every day and she learns how to enjoy the present.

“I’m feeling pretty good at the moment. I’m living day by day really and coping with a new way of life.”

What Christopher is able to do for all these women who are in desperate need of change, among which Phoebe, is incredible. He managed to influence her to change her perception on life in general.

Take a look at the video below and see the Makeover Guy’s hands doing magic right in front of your eyes.

Blind little boy amazes everyone with his rendition of “Bohemian Rhapsody”

Nicole

Let us introduce you with Avett Ray. He is a cute six-year old boy that has one passion in his life – music. His interest for music is not a rarity. Many people love music, play musical instruments and sing with various different qualities. However, Avett is a special case. This little musician is legally blind.

Just imagine his life. This little boy is not able to see the faces of his loved ones, cannot see the beauty of the life with all of its advantages and disadvantages. This condition stops people from enjoying the life as we do. Their activities and scope of interests are limited and they cannot freely express themselves.

However, Avett is a fighter. This talented boy decided that the loss of sight will not stop him to do the thing he likes the most. His desire to become a musician is just too great to give up. Avett’s determination not to drop everything out is so strong that this desire is slowly becoming reality. He started playing the piano and he does is marvellously.

Avett showed to all of us that the impossible can become quite possible. His intention of mastering the piano and producing some lovely tones paid off. The video that has been shared on-line features his excellent performance of Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’. His singing and playing the song are just wonderful.

This inspiring boy teaches us a lesson. We cannot give up the dreams we have. No matter what kind of difficulties we face up with, we can always try and overcome them. The results of these efforts are just too satisfying. Avett’s case is an excellent example. Playing musical instrument with no visual representation of the world around you is not an easy thing to do. It required talent, dedication and strong will.

Avett knows that becoming a musician will not be an easy task. He will always struggle with the disability but the talents he possesses may make this road easier. The passion for music is too great to give up now, especially since he mastered the piano quite well.

All of us should learn a lesson from Avett’s accomplishments. Giving up on something, even in perfect physical and mental state, is a terrible thing to do. We all know that the road to success required lots of work and effort, but the final goal is too good to be left unachieved.

Avett’s story is the positive inspiration we all need. The little boy with great spirit is the motivation we need to take some actions and make our dreams come true.

Take a look at Avett’s performance and enjoy the music.

2-year-old boy left in vegetative state after being cruelly battered by mom’s boyfriend

Nicole

Evil does exist. People with their violent actions and their cruel nature prove that it does exist. Child abuse is one of the worst forms of domestic violence and mistreat. Thomas Sullivan from Texas felt on his own skin the consequences of such treatment.

This 2-year old innocent and cute little boy ended up in hospital after his mother’s partner has almost broken his body by beating him up. This abuse left the kid in vegetative state, according to the doctors and his family. The Texas Children’s Hospital in September 2018 announced that he had severe head trauma, lacerated liver and several fractures and burns.

The boy’s pain is great. When admitted to the hospital, the close family members said that the boy can feel nothing but pain.

He is not the only abused child by this monster. His sister, Amery Sullivan, is also a victim of this abuser. She has suffered stomach, pelvis and ribs injuries. At the age of three she had to undergo a surgery to repair the damage done by Adam.

Furthermore, reports say that there are other victims of this abuser. It is said that he had been burning other innocent children. However, he was denying these charges by telling that the injuries were as a result of several accidents.

The abuser, Adam Thomas, did not think about the safety and well-being of the boy. As a direct consequence of this abuser’s actions, the boy may have permanent mental and physical disabilities. He ruined this boy’s life in the period when he just started understanding it.

His aunt, Sarah Sullivan, crushed with pain, said:

She said: “[Thomas] breathes on his own, and then he stops. He’s not doing well. He’s going to live, but they said we need to prepare for him to be in this state for the rest of his life.”

Both Adam Thomas and the boy’s mother were found guilty of child abuse. In February Adam got two life sentences, while his partner got 20 years behind the bars. She admitted that she failed to protect and care for the kids.

Now, the family is fighting to the custody of the kids. They are in procedure of doing that at the Child Protective Services. They have even started a funding page for collecting the money they need.

This bad and extremely violent case is a terrible thing. In a normal state of mind no one will try to harm a child. Sending a child to the hospital and ruining his life requires a monster to do that. Unfortunately, monsters do live among us.

Share the story and raise people’s awareness of this kind of domestic violence. All of us can contribute in fighting these monstrous abusers.
