This ‘Flex House’ is the sustainable home for people who think tiny houses are too small

Many people just love small houses. Those of us who find these types of houses very convenient pinpoint a lot of advantages of such houses. The possibility of relocating these houses is a huge advantage. Moreover, the idea of living a simple lifestyle is also present.

Small houses are really amazing. These tiny roofed spaces can provide a comfort equal to the comfort of the huge houses. It’s unbelievable that with a careful planning, these houses can have all elements of the big mansions. You can have a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen and even storage room.

However, small houses are more convenient for small families, or couples. Having children and living in such houses may be a real challenge.

Usually families with children are into search of a bigger house with enough space for all family members. The notion of a family living into 400 sq foot house is usually unreal.

No matter how much we like to live green, all of us want to have enough space for comfortable and relaxing life.

Fortunately, there is a solution for such kind of people. Having a small house and enough space. Meet the Flex House! A tiny house with lot of space!

Flex House was introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show. The Green Builder Media and Shelter Dynamics presented this 760 sq foot house as a mansion in a small shelter terms. The Green Builder Media CEO, Sara Gutterman says:

“We live big here in America, but at the same time there’s a growing awareness about resource conservation. What I like about the Flex House is we’re not asking people to sacrifice; we’re just asking people to not use any more room than they need.”

It turned out that the house provides a lot of space. The Flex House has got a fully equipped kitchen, including washer and dryer. Moreover, it has got a dining room, two bedrooms and an office. Of course, there is the bathroom and the living space. Everything planned within the 760 sq feet.

Since we are living in the period of smart technology, this house has got smart gadgets as well. The Flex House has got smart doorbell, smart lock and a smart thermostat. Very useful indeed!

The low-flow plumbing system and the electric vehicle charging station are one of the best features of the house. The future owners of these type of house will find the Jinko solar system particularly useful and economical.

Flex House basic model is $85,000. Once you purchase the house, it can be delivered to you in period of 8 to 12 weeks.

Great idea, right?

Salon client’s shoes humble stylist

Nicole

To be able to talk about someone, give an advice or recommend a solution, you have to put yourself in his or her position. You have to understand the person’s problems or struggle so you can help the person as much as you can. Judging people without any clue of his issues is the worst thing someone can do.

Ashley Bolling, the owner of Captivate Salon and Spa from Kentucky, knows this. She posted a photo and very powerful message on her Facebook regarding one small event that happened in her salon. A woman fell asleep while she was sitting on her chair and waiting for the hairstylist.

Ashley took a picture of the woman’s ‘sleeping position’. She posted the message and the photo, not to mock the woman, but to send a very meaningful message to all of us. It turned out that the woman, the client, was a nurse. The hard-working lady has just finished the night shift and therefore she couldn’t stay awake any longer. With no energy nor strength, she fell asleep. This made Ashley think very hard.

“I wondered how many miles those shoes have walked. I wondered what they’d walked through. Blood? Tears? In & out of the countless rooms of the patients she’s cared for? I wondered how many hours they’ve carried her, and all those like her, while they literally save the lives of those we love and hold the hands of the ones who can no longer fight that fight.
But with those shoes propped up in that chair, phone in her lap, I got the chance to take care of her (even if it was just for a few hours) and I felt extremely honored to take care of such a hardworking, inspiring woman I’m so lucky to call my friend.”

Ashley used this photo in order to express her gratitude to all of those people who give everything just to help the others. These are the ‘unseen heroes’ of our societies that keep us safe and sound, healthy and protected. Moreover, she points out that even though she was exhausted because of the night shift, she didn’t have a choice but to go straight to the salon immediately. She even remembered to bring Ashley a breakfast. What a thoughtful person!

This was an instant hit. Ashley’s post went viral and the photo and the message were shared by thousands of people. People who identified with this started commenting and giving support and posting kind words to the nurse and Ashley. Nurses, doctors, officers and many others who have similar working conditions unconditionally supported the idea of the post itself.

These heroes, nurses and doctors, even though cannot be seen on regular basis by the ordinary people, they are still there. Their skills and knowledge saved millions of people and their hard work cured millions of kids and adults.

At the end of the visit to the salon, the nurse did something very kind and unforgettable. Her husband got into the salon. When he entered the salon, he told her that their daughter forgot the shoes for track. The nurse gave her shoes to her own daughter. As a result of that, this hero went home in socks. A real human rarity!

Share if you understand these types of people! Let people know what kind of people help us when we are in need. These people deserve more respect by the society, which means, by all of us.

Celine Dion gives surprising update of new lease on life

Nicole

The loss of her husband left a huge gap in the private life of Celine Dion. The death of René Angélil was the loss of the singer’s husband, friend and companion. However, after three years of René’s death, the famous Canadian singer is ready to share some of her experience with us. For a recent interview she added that she also lost the love of her life. In addition, she explains that it was difficult to adapt to the new situation since every decision in her life was made in agreement with the husband. Now, she is alone and everything has to be done by her. Nevertheless, in the interview with Deborah Roberts, she says that she is getting back on track and feels perfect. She says:

“I feel so powerful, and in charge, and grounded and happy. I can’t say more.”

She also says that now she is the only one that is responsible for the children. Celine explains that René is the one who gave her power and strength to raise her children into healthy and responsible human beings. His positive attitude affected Celine’s ability to take over the parenting alone. Since the tragic loss is behind and she managed to deal with the pain, Celine gives her advice to everyone who has lost someone in their lives. She says:

You cannot stop living. Go forward.

She also adds:

Today is the first day of the beginning of my life because I know that I don’t have to worry.

Additionally, Celine Dion tells us what’s her secret in staying healthy and happy. She says:

I don’t need to prove myself to the industry, to my family, my friends because I think I’ve done it for many years. I do it because my passion has grown through the years. And now I do it because I have so much fun.

Now in the 50s, Celine Dion says that she is very happy, fit and healthy. The age did not stop her feeling strong, beautiful and grounded. She also points out that being thin is not a bad thing and that does not mean that something is wrong with you.

Celine Dion thinks that maturity comes with power and strength, and she says “that vintage thing- that is priceless.”

Take a look at the interview with Celine Dion. Pay attention to her new ‘love’ and the events that shaped her personality. Dion shares pieces of advice that may be useful to anyone out there.

Twin soldiers surprise little brother at school

Monica Pop

Being deployed means being away from your family and many times missing lots of important events such as birthdays, weddings, and gatherings. Military members love their job so much that they simply learn how to come to terms with these types of drawbacks their profession imposes on them. What gives them strength to endure those long months of deployment is the joy that the reunions bring. Yes, every member of the army awaits those encounters with their family and friends with anticipation.

An eight-year old boy from Stewartville, Minnesota knows what is feels like to be away from someone you love. His two twin brothers are in the army and this young gentleman misses them really badly. There is no one he can have fun with while at home, no one to prank him and tell him jokes. He would spend every minute of every day around his big heroes, and now he feels lonely and is looking forward to their next meeting. But what he doesn’t know is that the reunion will take place sooner than he expected.

The brothers got a permission to get home for the holidays and both of them though it would be great if they keep it a secret from their little brother and give him the surprise of his life. They did tell their parents about the arrival, and got some help from the school staff too.

The boy was at school and never in his wildest dreams could he imagine the day would turn into one he would never forget. As the brothers and their mother arrived at the school, they headed towards the boy’s classroom. The mother made sure she got everything on tape as she was certain this reunion would be something the siblings would cherish forever. One of the brothers opened the door and the teacher said, “Look, who’s here!” That’s when all the students turned their heads around, including the boy. His soldier brother greeted him with the words, “Hi buddy.” The boy couldn’t contain his excitement and rushed towards his big brother and gave him a big hug. He couldn’t get off his arms when the other soldier entered and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll just wait my turn.”

People are taking their time to comment how these brothers’ reunion is the best and sweetest thing they’ve seen. It’s touching and emotional, and reminds us about the importance of the family.

The boy’s classmates were also surprised and a bit shocked, but they say how they loved the surprise and are happy for their friend who got to see his brothers after so long.

You can take a look at the emotional moment in the video below. You may have to grab some tissues, just in case you start crying as we did.

Mom responds to rude note after parking in handicap spot

Nicole

Justine Van Den Borne is a wife and a mother from Melbourne, Australia. At the age of 35 she has been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, in short MS, and since then her life has changed drastically. She has to struggle with this illness on daily basis.

The illness has several different symptoms. Some days she feels just fine, like every other healthy person. However, most of the days are real struggle. Sometimes she feels numb and extreme fatigue. In addition, she has problems with vision and slurred speech.

All of these things made the Australian authorities to issue her a handicap parking pass, among the other things. The idea was to make her life easier, but sometimes people make sure she has not easy functioning.

One day, she took her daughter, started the car and drove to the local shopping centre. Since she got the parking pass from the authorities, she pared in the handicap spot and they were ready to have some fun and quality time together. But, someone shocked her by leaving her a rude message.

That day she was feeling well and the expected good day turned out to be a very unpleasant one. Someone left a message on her car saying:

“Did you forget your wheelchair???”

People, obviously, started judging due to the parking spot. The woman on first glance looks very normal to all of us, but we have no idea what kind of pain and problems she is facing with. These kinds of things make her feel even more depressed.

Upon arriving home, she opened her Facebook page and wrote:

“To person that left this on my car last week at Mitcham Shopping Centre – I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis when I was 35.
Not just MS but the worst one that never goes away and is slowly crippling my life.
My kids have had to deal with things that kids shouldn’t ever have to deal with and all of our futures are forever changed. On the day you saw me I was having a good day, I was walking with my daughter, unaided, having a nice day.
Thank you for ruining that.”

“You made me feel like people were looking at me, the exact way I feel when I can’t walk properly. I am sick of people like yourself abusing me on my good days for using a facility I am entitled to.
A disability doesn’t always mean a person has to be wheelchair bound but lucky for you I one day will be.
Right now my focus is to walk into my best friends wedding next September and not have to be pushed. I will be 42. Before you ruin another person’s day remember you don’t know everything and just because you can’t see it it doesn’t mean a person isn’t struggling to put one foot in front of the other.”

This message reached a lot of people in the world. Her post was spread throughout the world. Hopefully, this will help us understand what these people are struggling with and instead of hurting them, we may help them and support them.

Why her controversial parenting technique is raising eyebrows

Nicole

Nowadays, breastfeeding is one of those topics that results with countless of debates. Depending on the people involved in the debates, the opinions regarding the breastfeeding differ. Some support it, some prefer bottles, and some are totally indifferent on people’s opinions regarding it.

The story that comes from the UK is about breastfeeding and the debate that resulted from the story itself. However, this is in no way a normal breastfeeding story, but a very controversial interview that was published in the British newspapers.

Miira Dawson is a mother of two kids. She loves them a lot, she is very protective towards them and she is parenting them in a very unusual way.

Miira’s interview was published in The Daily Mail. The mother, at the age of 36, has got a 5-year old daughter and 2-year old son. What is strange about the way she is parenting them is the breastfeeding. She plans to breastfeed them until they reach the age of 10. She says:

“I think it is a lovely thing for a baby to grow up and remember being breastfed, as not many people would be able to say this,” Miira says. “Plus, there are all of the health and IQ benefits.”

She also explains that the their bonding, i.e. the relationship between the older child and the mother, is going to be even stronger. The mother goes on by explaining that the relationship between them is healthy and normal.

“She’s never had a blanket or dummy (pacifier) so that is her equivalent,” Miira says. “I’m sure if I could detach my boob and just give it to her, she would be extremely happy.”

However, breastfeeding is not the only thing that’s unusual. The mother and the two kids sleep together in one bed. The son and the daughter are sleeping with their mother, while their father Jim is comfortable in another bed in another bedroom.

“Naturally I feel left out when it comes to the sleeping situation,” Jim laments. “I feel like it restricts mine and the children’s time together and it doesn’t give me the chance to do things that I would like to, such as reading bedtime stories.”

Experts’ opinion on extended breastfeeding

This story resulted with different opinions. Many are against that unusual parenting style, while some support the mother. Nevertheless, the scientific community has not found anything wrong regarding the extended breastfeeding.

Tightly connected to this issue is the publication of the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP). These experts say that the natural weaning age for humans is from 2 to 7 years-old.

They even go further. The experts say that the long breastfeeding process decrease the chances of breast cancer. What’s more, the experts say that the child who has been breastfed for longer period has better immunity against contracting illnesses.

Interesting! The majority of the people find Miira’s parenting style very strange and not ‘normal’. However, after reading the experts’ opinions, maybe that’s not that strange after all. What’s you opinion?

Mom bans mother who smokes from touching baby

Monica Pop

Passive smoking and its negative lasting effects on non-smokers is something many people are already aware of. No matter if you don’t smoke yourself, being around people who do and inhaling the smoke may affect one’s health. This is the reason why people should avoid places where smoking is allowed and forbid friends or family members to smoke inside their home.

Recently, however, one mother-to-be raised the question of the health consequences of third-hand smoking. This is something not many are aware of, but it’s there, and it’s real.

Third-hand smoking are the chemical residuals of tobacco smoke that remain on clothes, fabric, furniture, and even walls. The smoke can also be found in any place where someone lights a cigarette. You are probably familiar with that unpleasant scent when entering a place where smoking is allowed. Unfortunately, it sticks with your skin and hair even after you leave.

“Thirdhand smoke clings to clothes, furniture, drapes, walls, bedding, carpets, dust, vehicles and other surfaces long after smoking has stopped. The residue from thirdhand smoke builds up on surfaces over time,” M.D. J Taylor Hays wrote on MayoClinic.

A study about the effects of third-hand smoking had been done on mice and the results are likely to be more or less the same for us humans. It was reported how the group of rodents affected showed increased level of stress, molecular damage, and inflammatory diseases. Some even showed signs of hyperinsulinemia.

The studies that are expected to give clearer image of the consequences this has on humans are still ongoing, but people are still advised third-hand smoke should be avoided as much as possible.

“People are exposed to these chemicals by touching contaminated surfaces or breathing in the off-gassing from these surfaces,” Hays added. “This residue is thought to react with common indoor pollutants to create a toxic mix including cancer-causing compounds, posing a potential health hazard to nonsmokers — especially children.”

Learning about the damage this is likely to cause, the mother-to-be was determined to keep her child out of the hands of the heavy smokers, including her mother-in-law, unless they shower and change clothes after smoking. This may sound as a ridiculous request, but she says she does it for her bundle’s of joy well-being.

She wrote a letter to Slate’s Care asking for advice on how to tell her mother-in-law about their decision. She said she was aware her husband’s mother may be offended by her request, but her child’s health is what she is most concerned for.

“I am expecting my first baby soon,” she wrote. “When the baby is born, my in-laws will be coming for a visit. My mother-in-law is a heavy smoker. I’m not worried about her smoking in front of my child, but after researching thirdhand smoke, I am very concerned about her holding the baby after she has had a cigarette. My husband and I have decided that after she smokes, she needs to shower and change her clothes before she can pick up the baby.”

The columnist’s initial though was that this mother was simply overreacting, but after doing a research, he changed his opinion and wrote how he believes the future mother has all the right to ask from smokers to stay away from the little one, unless as she states above, they change clothes and take a shower first.

At the end of the day, this woman is just a mother concerned for her offspring, and no one should get offended for her trying to keep the baby safe.

While children are in the process of growing, their immune system is still weak and they are likely to suffer the consequences of passive, as well as third-hand smoking more than the adults. When a baby comes close to a smoker, they get contaminated by that person’s skin and clothes themselves.

Researchers and doctors are urging people, especially parents, to learn more about the damage third-hand smoking causes and do their best to keep their children as little exposed as possible.

Airline employee serenades mother of fallen soldier on flight

Nicole

Travelling, especially for more than 10 hours, can be tiring and annoying. However, sometimes people do things that may make us laugh or mark the day as a quite memorable one. The passengers of a flight to Louisville were pleasantly surprised by what had happened on the plane.

Thanks to Sean Warren and his camera, we can all see what really happened on the place. He was travelling to Louisville and since he wanted to spend the rest of the flight in peace, he was listening to music. However, a message announced by the cabin interrupted his comfort.

The person who made the announcement was Scott Wirt. He is an operations agents at the Southwest Airlines. His message was very emotional as a matter of fact. He told the passengers that among them there is a mother of a son who died on duty on 25 July 2018.

The mother, Debbie was on her way to attend a ceremony in her son’s honour. He graduated from Jeffersontown High School in Louisville, Kentucky. Debbie’s son was called Tylor Edenhofer.

In Tyler’s honour Scott did something very touching. He started singing You ‘Raise Me Up’. This song, especially the performance, deeply touched the passengers and brought everyone to tears.

Sean Warren was among ‘the Scott’s audience’. He saw the performance and heard the singing. He immediately started recording the event and the video ended on-line. This was not the first on-line video of Scott, though.

Sean posted the video on his Facebook page. The video was an instant hit and reached more than 110,000 views. The comments are wonderful. Many expressed their gratitude of sharing the video, but also honoured Tyler’s dedication to serve the country.

Scott’s contribution to Tyler’s honouring is great, especially to Tyler’s mother. Since her son meant the world to her, these kinds of gestures remind her that people may not forget her son and his work.

Undoubtedly all people on the plane were deeply touched. We are sure they will remember this day for the rest of their lives.

Child complains about babysitter, so husband installs a hidden camera and discovers shocking footage

Monica Pop

When Desiree LeBlanc who is a child welfare officer had to get back to work after she gave birth to a baby girl, she tried hard to find the best person she could trust her daughter to.

After carefully considering all the options, she decided she would feel most comfortable with leaving her baby in the care of 28-year-old Christina Williamson. LeBlanc recalls her first meeting with this babysitter, and says how the place was very neat and there were a bunch of toys around. Christina’s home also had a big garden where the kids could have fun when the weather would be nice.

Once LeBlanc’s daughter started attending Christina’s home daycare, this mother was even more convinced she made the right choice as the babysitter seemed to be taking great care of the kids. Whenever there was an incident of any kind, the parents would be given details. LeBlanc says how there were times when she was told how her daughter accidentally scratched herself and she would also receive pictures to see how serious it was. This spoke of Christina as a caring person.

One day, however, this all changed, and what LeBlanc learned left her outraged.

Her supervisor told her to go and pick her daughter from daycare and advised her not to speak to Christina while doing so. LeBlanc didn’t know what was going on, but she did as she was told.

Later, she learned the dreadful truth about what was going on behind closed doors. The way this babysitter treated the kids she was supposed to take care of is cruel and unacceptable.

Cristina’s mi*treatment of the children was discovered by her own husband who set up cameras around the house after one of the kids, an 8-year-old boy, told him how there was “unusual treatment of the kids by Christina.” After he checked the footage, he immediately reported his soon to be ex-wife to the police.

KCCI News reported how the kids were aggressively pushed and screamed at. This babysitter from hell could be seen forcefully holding them face-down and stuffing their mouths with clothes to prevent them from crying.

The footage also showed how she would leave a 5-month-old baby at home all alone during several occasions.

Thankfully, Christina was sentenced to 5 years in prison and she won’t be able to hurt any other child ever again. News Channel KCCI Des Moines 8 reported how none of the kids have shown lasting effect from the way they were treated.

This story just shows how cautious parents should be when choosing a babysitter.

Granddaughter dances with grandfather with Alzheimer’s

Monica Pop

According to the Alzheimer Association, around 5.8 million Americans of all ages are living with Alzheimer’s dementia in 2019. This condition is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States. The sad reality is that there is no cure and the treatment options are limited.

This cruel disease affects person’s memory and changes the way they act and think, eventually causing difficulties doing even the simplest of tasks. The family members and those around the person diagnosed with Alzheimer’s are also affected. They are forced to see how their loved ones forget of all the beautiful memories they shared together and have a hard time remembering who the people they spent their life with are.

A woman named Rachel knows the struggle and the pain of looking after someone with Alzheimer’s all too well.

Her loving grandpa was diagnosed with the illness a few years ago, and she’s the one who provides him with round the clock care. Watching him getting even worse over time, this caring granddaughter does everything in her power to make the 93-year-old man’s days more fun and more enjoyable. She even says how she loves being there for him, as he’s the person she loves the most. Rachel doesn’t find it difficult to prepare her grandpa’s meals, clean his house, or take him out for a walk. She’s indeed the best granddaughter this man could ever ask for.

This time, Rachel did something different for him. She made his eyes shine by inviting him to dance with her.

She didn’t really know whether he remembers any of the moves or his favorite music, but she was willing to make him smile, and he was willing to try. The outcome is an amazing and unique experience Rachel would always keep close to her heart. To her surprise, her grandpa could keep up with the beat and it looked like he was having the best time of his life.

The video of these two dancing together was shared on YouTube and many people agree how it’s the sweetest thing they’ve seen all day.

The relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is unlike any other. Everyone knows how the grandmas and grandpas would do anything for their children’s children, but this video proves that many times grandkids would do the same.

Rachel can’t contain her smile as she knows how moments like this are really special. And as the elderly man’s condition is getting worse every day, they don’t really have a lot of time ahead in order to enjoy this much many times. Luckily, the video will be there to remind Rachel of the fun time once her grandpa is no longer able to dance again.

Many of the people who are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s end up at nursing homes, as there is no one who can take care of them at home. Those who are lucky enough, however, to have someone like Rachel by their side spend their final days in the comfort of their place.

Rachel will never stop taking care of her grandpa. She knows she is the one who can ease his days and the occasional smiles she gets from him are enough thank you for all the hard work she does.

We hope they will have many more opportunities to dance together.

Take a look at the lovely video below.

Toddler paralyzed, left with permanent brain damage after eating a slice of raw apple at daycare

Monica Pop

The life of the Renata family from New Zealand turned upside down and changed forever after they got a call from the daycare on that fatal day. Marama was alerted how one of her twins, 22-month-old Neihana was given CPR after he chocked on a slice of raw, peeled apple. All this mother prayed for while driving to the hospital was for her little boy to be alright.

Unfortunately, the news were bad. Neihana was diagnosed with permanent brain damage. He was left without oxygen for certain amount of time which led to cardiac arrest. The boy was placed in intensive care and was unresponsive for days. He survived, but was left with hypoxic brain injury and cerebral palsy, which prevented him from walking or talking ever again.

Neihana needed round the clock care and his mother quit her job in order to be able to take care of him. This was all very devastating and sad.

“Neihana needs constant care. He needs help with everything,” explains Marama.

“We got told that we basically have a boy that can breathe,” said the child’s father, Wi Renata. “He could open his eyes but there was nothing there. He could just breathe.”

Neihana Renata was 22-months old when a piece of apple became lodged in his throat. He has been left with brain damage and severe cerebral palsy. https://t.co/wKzC1OIovP
— Nine.com.au (@Ninecomau) April 4, 2019

This incident raised the question about the food served at daycare and kindergartens. The Little Lights Early Learning Centre in Rotorua serve little children solid food such as apple slices knowing kids are likely to choke from the pieces. And this is really concerning.

“THERE ARE CHILDREN THAT COULD CHOKE TOMORROW AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE TO PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING AGAIN,” SAID MARAMA.
“I FEEL FRUSTRATED, ABSOLUTELY FRUSTRATED. NOTHING IS BEING DONE WHEN SOMETHING CAN BE DONE,” SAID WI.

Sweet little Neihana has made progress, and despite his condition, he never lost the smile on his face. His sister makes him company every day and he enjoys seeing her around.

“It makes me feel good knowing that I can see him laughing,” says Wi.

“He has made a lot of progress since the accident and is a generally smiley boy but he is severely disabled and can’t walk, talk, roll,” Marama told Australian news.

“A lot of effort is put into maintaining normal body alignment and muscle length,” she explains.

The Ministry of Health in New Zealand took matters in their hands and issued warning for the daycare centers to cook foods such as apples, carrots, and celery. They expect every educational institution of this type to follow the guidelines regarding food they published. Wi Renata believes this recommendations are great but the government should enforce them, otherwise there won’t be any results.

After thorough investigation, Work Safe, a health and safety regulator determined how the daycare followed all legal guidelines, including having a person trained in first aid. The only thing they failed at was offering sliced food to such young children. A failure which resulted with a toddler being left permanently disabled.

However, another investigation done by the Child Forum questions the way the first aid was provided. Apparently, a staff member tried pulling the piece of apple using their fingers, which could easily resulted in pushing it even further, reports Sarah Alexander.

Alexander also speaks of the fact that daycare doesn’t provide parents with enough information on the type of food their kids are served. She also says how incidents such as the one that involved Neihana are rarely reported so many moms and dads are not aware that it ever took place.

“THERE IS NO RECORD THAT THIS INCIDENT EVER OCCURED. PARENTS MAY LEAVE THEIR CHILD AT A SERVICE NONE THE WISER AS TO WHAT ITS HISTORY HAS BEEN,” SAID ALEXANDER.

“Why isn’t the Ministry warning parents? There is potential for their child to be served food that is high risk of choking. To me, this is a serious breach of trust,” she continued.

The incident took place in May 2016, but it went public just recently. The daycare changed their food menu only a year after.

Marama says she doesn’t blame the daycare, but as a doctor, she would have approached a chocking child differently.

Below is the whole story and some of Marama’s advice.

We pray for Neihana to get better over time.

Dad arrested after rushing choking daughter to hospital, nurses bond him out

Nicole

When the child’s safety is concerned, parents are willing to do anything. No matter what danger is upon the child, there is no parent out there that will sacrifice anything just to make sure his kid is growing up in a safe and healthy environment.

This was particularly true for Darius Hinkle from Centreville, Illinois. He was put into situation between choosing the safety of his child or breaking the law. It was obvious that he chose his baby, even though he had to break the speed limit regulations. The incident happened on April 4.

The parents’ nightmare started with their 1-year old baby putting a penny in the mouth. The girl started chocking and could not breathe properly. The panic struck the parents. Darius and his wife Donecia Pittman started the car and headed to the hospital.

For KTVI, Hinkle says:

“First thing in my mind was, get her to the hospital. That’s my daughter. I won’t let nothing happen to her.”

The panic and the worries for the baby’s life made Darius drive way over 100 mph. This alarmed the police and they started chasing him. However, Darius did not want to slow down nor to stop the car. His plan was getting to the hospital as soon as possible.

The police followed Darius to the Touchette Regional Hospital. Upon arriving there, they told them to get out of the car and put their hands up. The parents had to do that and they told the police what the problem was.

Pitman explains:

“They told us to get out and put our hands up, and I got out and I put my hands up and I yelled and I told the police ‘my baby is choking.’”

She adds:

“And I told them multiple times that she was choking. They was just worried about the fact that we were speeding.”

To make the things worse, Darius did not have the drivers licence. That sent him to the jail because of that. Nevertheless, they managed to get to the hospital on time and save the baby.

Luckily, the nurses got into action and decided to get Darius out of the situation. They knew he broke the law just to save the baby.

Pittman was very shocked to find out that her husband will be getting out of the jail very soon. She recalls:

“Somebody was up there and they said ‘I’m here to bond out Darius Hinkle, and I was looking like — I didn’t know who it was, and when I looked out the door to see who it was, she spoke and said I’m the nurse from Touchette Hospital. I couldn’t thank them enough like they was there for us ever since we had got there.”

Thanks to the staff of the hospital all three of them are safe and sound. They can enjoy the love they share in their lovely home with this adorable cute baby girl.

Dad who choked one boy and threw another down a half-pipe was ‘defending his son from bullies’

Nicole

A very disturbing video has been published on Facebook. The video features a shocking event involving a grown up man and several boys. The violence filmed with the camera is very unpleasant.

The incident happened in New South Wales in Australia. In the local skate park in Goonellabah, a group of boys were playing and having fun. However, one moment a grown up man came to the park and started chocking one boy and he threw another one down.

According to the reports, the man was defending his son from the bullies, and it is believed that he came to the park with his own son.

New South Wales Police had to react to this incident. They started the investigation against the man. They also confirmed the authenticity of the event.

“Police have been told a group of 12-year-old boys were at a skate park in Goonellabah when they started to verbally abuse and threaten another 12-year-old boy. The man allegedly assaulted one of the youths and threw his scooter. Officers from Richmond Police District were notified and commenced an investigation.“

North Coast Crime also came up with a statement regarding this event. They said:

“If the adult in the video or anyone who knows him reads this, can you please send me a private message?”

However, we still do not know what’s the reason for such a behaviour. The police officers yet have to determine the causes for the violence and the background of the event.

Wife of fallen officer writes open letter after her husband was fatally shot while on duty

Nicole

Deputy Jacob Keltner is the McHenry County local hero who lost his life on 7 March 2019 while serving an arrest warrant.

He has been on duty when the fatal wound took this man’s life. He was shot by the suspect while he was trying to escape. Keltner died while doing everything for the well-being and safety of the community.

This man’s accomplishments have not been in any case forgotten by the community. For 12 years Deputy Keltner was securing the people’s safety. His co-workers could not believe this tragic loss.

In Keltner’s honour the Texas Roadhouse showed an emotional tribute to the Deputy. In addition to that, there was also a ‘Fallen Hero Table’.

Everything that has been used for this ‘Fallen Hero Table’ had a special meaning. For instance, the tears that has been shed for the Deputy were represented by salt shaker.

Symbolism was not the only thing that the restaurant did. They posted a message on their Facebook page saying:

“We send many prayers to his family, friends, and colleagues.”

The restaurant’s staff was not the only that that showed respect to the Deputy. Upon learning that Keltner lost his life, the local car dealer also paid tribute to the late Deputy.

Gary Rosenburg, the owner of Crystal Lake Chrysler Jeep Dodge, was the dealer that did something very touching in Keltner’s honour. When he learnt that the Deputy lived nearby and that he bought a car from Crystal Lake, the owner paid off the rest of Keltner’s loan. What a great move!

Nevertheless, the most touching tribute came, as expected, from his wife. Becki Keltner, just after four days of her husband’s death, wrote a letter regarding the tragic loss of her husband. She wrote:

“I am writing this letter because my husband, Jacob Keltner, should be remembered not as another statistic but as a man, a great man, who sacrificed his life to protect others.”

Becki posted very private things. She informed the nation about how they met, their love and their wonderful family and two children. She adds:

“I was so lucky to have found a love so good and a man worth spending my life with.”

Beckie does not forget her husband’s hobbies and bravery. She especially emphasises Keltner’s love for Chicago Cubs.

She didn’t forget Keltner’s dedication to the community’s safety. She talks about his passion for the public safety and the job he was doing.

“He was a true patriot who wanted to protect the people of this country,” she wrote. “So I knew when he was selected for a position on the U.S. Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force, I couldn’t have stopped him from taking the job if I tried. I knew it was dangerous, but he was smart, strong, and great at what he did. I knew he would protect his fellow officers like he protected our family.”

The devastating phone call she got on March 7 ruined her life.

“Now I find myself a 33 year old widow; mother of two young boys who no longer have their daddy. It feels unreal. I have screamed. I have cried. Nothing can make this better,” she wrote.

What’s even more terrifying is the realization that her sons will never see their dad again.

Becki wrote that she is, and she was, very proud of her husband. No matter the difficulties they had due to his job, she was always besides him.

“There are no words to sum up a man who meant so much to me and to so many others. My only wish is to have a world where we stop hating each other,” she wrote.

She hopes that all people will be like her husband. People should pay attention to the good things in life and try to do everything that is possible to eliminate the bad evil things.

“He saw the worst of the worst every day but still had so much love in his heart,” she ended her letter. “He was true and loyal. We all need to show each other love. Lift each other up. It’s the only way to stop the unconscionable madness.”

Keltner’s funeral was on March 13 2019. The family said the last goodbye to their son, father, husband, cousin….

Our prayers go to the Keltner’s family. May he rest in peace!

Mom Gives a Chilling Warning After Her Child Was Nearly Abducted From a Highway Rest Stop

Nicole

Parents do worry about their kids. Since the safety and well-being of the kids is of highest priority for every parent, the constant watch over the kids is mandatory. Especially in cases of predators – humans who are willing to mistreat even young innocent child.

Regarding this issue, one mother posted on her Facebook page a warning that was addressed to all people out there. Her experience led her write this post and share the unpleasant incident that occurred while she and her daughter were travelling from Ohio to Indiana.

Small conversation with nothing of special importance are just fine. Small talks with strangers are not reason to be panicked. However, when the line is crossed, the alarm signals totally different feeling. The woman wrote:

“PSA: so we are driving home from Cincinnati and got off at a rest stop for a quick bathroom break. Just my daughter and I went inside (i didn’t have my phone or purse on me). As we were walking in some lady who appeared to be on something, was trying to talk to my daughter, I held her hand the entire way in and walked swiftly ahead. As the lady was trying to talk to us she was also lighting a cigarette which she immediately extinguished upon us entering building. We went to far end handicap stall and went in together. I heard the lady enter and she was talking to another lady about us heard her say “the little girl”, I told my daughter we weren’t washing hands and I was going to carry her out. As we leave I passed both women and the one that I originally saw had changed clothes and started to leave after us leaving her bag on the floor of the stall she was in. The other lady with her was probably 6’. I then made a dead sprint to the car, threw my daughter in and locked doors. Once we were safely in car I noticed 3 men standing in front of a gold minivan with all the doors open…We called 911 and reported it and I have this terrible feeling that had I not been aware of my surroundings my daughter may have been taken from me. It is a terrifying world we are living in I wanted to share to try to remind everyone to be aware of your surroundings, hold on to your children and stay off your phones so you are not distracted!!!
This was at a rest stop around mile marker 151 (Batesville) heading west on I -74”

Indeed it is something to be afraid of. Human trafficking is a serious crime business that criminal groups are practising for decades. It can be found in all US states, and in all countries around the world as a matter of fact, and women are the majority of the victims.

Stations, public areas, parks and parking areas are the hubs for human trafficking. Even though the victims are surrounded by people, they are still vulnerable. Especially when kids are concerned. Their innocence and inexperience can be easily tricked and they may easily end up on the other side of the story.

This post reached thousands of Facebook readers. This post was intended to raise people’s awareness of this danger. We should all keep an eye on our kids, whether they are our sons or daughters, or children of our friends. We should make sure all kids grow up in safe and sound environment.

Kelly Clarkson’s husband sneaks up behind her during concert

Monica Pop

Just because someone is famous, it doesn’t mean they never experience bad things. Ever since she won the first season of American idol, Kelly Clarkson became the America’s sweetheart who taught us that in life everything is possible. This celebrity’s life wasn’t an easy one, as her father abandoned her and her family, and that left a huge mark on Kelly who found it difficult to trust men ever again.

However, this strong woman and an amazing artist was lucky enough to find a loving husband who assured her not all men are the same.

When making her music and while performing, Kelly always gets emotional and pours her heart on stage. One song of hers that is really close to her heat is “Piece by Piece.” She wrote it for her soulmate and she barely manages to hold her tears back whenever she sings it.

During one of her performances of this piece of music on stage in Greenville, South Carolina, she got an amazing surprise. In the middle of the song, someone approached her from the back, holding a guitar. The man joined her singing and the crowd started cheering as loud as they could. As Kelly turned around, she saw her husband, Brandon Blackstock. This was one of those moments that are cherished and hard to forget. Looking at him with sparks in her eyes she said, “This is my husband.”

Kelly, who was pregnant at the time, continued singing directly to him and their love could be felt all around the place. At the end of the song, she leaned towards Brandon and gave him a kiss.

Take a look at the lovely surprise and the touching performance in the video below.

People took their time to comment how these two lovebirds are really lucky to have found each other, and we can’t agree more.

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

Nicole

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.

— FOX 32 News (@fox32news) March 30, 2019

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.”
