When dancing is your thing, you don’t even need a dance floor to rock. Moving to the rhythm flawlessly, without missing a single beat isn’t something many people can brag about, but not this baby. He’s a real performer in the making.
For the incredible show, he chose a song with a vibrant melody, “Boom Chicka Boom” by The Learning Station. We guess lullabies aren’t really fit for such a bubbly baby.
Wearing a crazy outfit of a diaper and a paper Krispy Kreme hat, he gives a performance to remember. We are so glad his mother, Elizabeth Burns, was able to put everything on tape and share it with the world.
The sweet toddler is moving his tiny butt back and forth like no one is watching, or as he really doesn’t care who’s around, and it’s adorable. And if you take a closer look at the facial expressions he makes, it’s certain he’s ready to win any lip-sync challenge.
Just take a look at him. It doesn’t get any cuter than this, don’t you think so?
Take a look at the video below and enjoy one of the sweetest dancing routines you’ve ever seen.
The Center for Disease Control and Prevention reports that 1 in 13 Americans suffer from asthma, which leads to the staggering number of 26 million. Although this disease is not completely curable, it’s eminently controllable. It’s a condition in which the airways narrow and swell, and that results in coughing, wheezing, and shortness of breath.
The number of children affected is pretty much the same as that of the older population. Those who experience asthma attacks must have their inhalers at hand any time, because without them, the consequences could be fatal. Unfortunately, 12-year-old Ryan Gibbons didn’t have his medicine when he experienced the symptoms and suffered a tragic death as a result.
The tragedy struck during a soccer game at school. At the moment of the attack, Ryan’s medication was locked at the principal’s office and getting to it on time was simply impossible.
That absurd policy of keeping the inhalers away from the children during school time resulted in a young life being lost. Poor Ryan would always carry a spare inhaler, but once someone would notice it, they would confiscate it from him.
If he had reached his medication, he could have been alive.
Ryan’s mother, Sandra Gibbons says how they made numerous pleas to the Elgin County School in Ontario, Canada, asking for Ryan to be allowed to have his puffer next to him at all time. They even had a doctor’s note that said he shouldn’t be left without his medication. But it was all in vain.
The boy was dead, and his family and the whole nation were left heartbroken. Ryan’s death could have been easily avoided, but it wasn’t only because the school decided to follow some stupid rules.
Sandra recalls how the school had contacted her on several occasions, asking from her to get to school and pick her son’s extra inhaler. This mother would always make sure her son had one in his hands, just in case of emergency, because no one really knows when an attack may take place or what exactly triggers one to happen.
”You would give him an inhaler but then he would get caught with the inhaler and then it would be taken away,” Sandra Gibbons said, speaking to CBC.
”Then I’d get a phone call. So it was actually very frustrating. I didn’t understand why. I didn’t realize that the policy actually stated that the prescribed medication needed to be in the office.”
After she lost her son, Sandra was determined to make schools adopt standardized asthma management plans. She knew no other parent should ever experience the pain of losing a child in such a manner.
This brave mother succeeded in making all three parties to pass a private member’s bill from Progressive Conservative Jeff Yurek.
“When Ryan passed away, it was like losing everything that I lived for,” Gibbons told Allergic Living. “After burying my son, I knew that this was a preventable attack. To me, if people had appropriate training and knew what to look for when a child was in distress, he would be here today.”
Her determination to help other children suffering from asthma attacks keep themselves safe while at school resulted with the Ryan’s Law. Bill 135 has been passed and all the parties stand behind the legislature.
The law allows students to carry their life-saving devices in their backpacks or pockets, along with a doctor’s note.
“I’m definitely overwhelmed, very emotional, very happy it’s going to be implemented,” said Sandra Gibbons.
Dr. Rob Oliphant, the president of The Asthma Society says “it is essential that children with asthma have ready access to potentially life-saving asthma medications while at school.”
Contrary to Canada’s laws, American children are allowed to carry their inhalers with them during school time. However, some schools ban them and base this decision on their anti-drug policies.
The number of deaths as a result of asthma attacks declined in recent years, but that’s not a reason for students to be denied access to their medicine whenever they need it.
We hope Ryan’s tragic death would make all countries reconsider their decision of forbidding anyone full access to something that can save their life.
Rest in piece sweet Ryan. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

In 2015 the gay marriage was legalized by the U.S. Supreme Court. However, in 2018 the Court also added that the people have the right to oppose it. Since then, people were encouraged, or empowered, to oppose that given right.
One such example was the baker’s case in Colorado. A gay couple wanted to order a wedding cake from the Baker, but he actually turned them down. The case ended up in court. During the proceeding, the baker cited his Christian beliefs and pointed them out as a reason for the opposition. Therefore, the court ruled 7-2 in favour of the baker.
“The laws and the Constitution can, and in some instances must, protect gay persons and gay couples in the exercise of their civil rights,” the court found, “but religious and philosophical objections to gay marriage are protected views and in some instances protected forms of expression.”
Since then, bigots have been encouraged to refuse providing services to gay couples by relying on the ‘religious freedom’ right. Another such case, besides the baker’s one, is the Jeff Amyx, owner of Amyx Hardware and Roofing Supplies in Washburn, Tennessee.
In 2018, Amyx decided to put some anti-gay signs in his shop. He has put these: “No gays allowed,” “Choose god or gays,” and “We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone who would violate our rights of freedom of speech and freedom of religion.” This was quickly spread virally and Amyx became a target of the Internet community who found these signs inappropriate.
The most important question regarding such cases is why people are losing potential profit and customers just to push their point of view?
Everyone who was angry by Amyx’s actions slammed his business on Yelp.
Google users when they review his business even categories his store as a gay bar.
However, after some time, Yelp decided to clean up the negative reviews.
“This business recently made waves in the news, which often means that people come to this page to post their views on the news,” Yelp said in a statement. “While we don’t take a stand one way or the other when it comes to these news events, we do work to remove both positive and negative posts that appear to be motivated more by the news coverage itself than the reviewer’s personal consumer experience with the business.”
On the other hand, Google did not do that. They are still listing his shop as a gay bar. In addition, the negative comments have not been removed.
People should understand that we are equal and we have equal rights. Since religious groups have the right to practice their religions freely, why shouldn’t homosexual people enjoy their rights and feel the benefits of the country they live in? It turns out that the country has yet to empower its laws and protect people’s rights.
Back pain is definitely the most common among the people. People of different age suffer from back pain. The researchers say 8 out of 10 Americans have some problems with the back.
Tightly connected to the back pain is the sciatica. It is caused by problems with the sciatic nerve. This nerve starts from the lower part of the back and goes into both legs.
Lower level of physical activity and obesity are the major causes for the back pain, the experts say.
The pain is really bad. When the problems with the back do occur, we usually take some pills or some stronger drugs. However, the doctors and people who deal with healthy living style suggest other possibilities.
Sometimes a simple tool or exercise can be quite useful in dealing with such problems.
Another proven method of easing the pain is cooling the affected part of the body. In addition to that, acupuncture and chiropractic treatments are also useful.
Moreover, expert say that yoga exercises are also very beneficial for back pain sufferers.
The video below shows some common exercises that may help you in such situations.
As we all know, unless the pain goes away by itself, it is there to make us uncomfortable. Luckily, there is this exercise with a tennis ball that can make you feel better.
The exercise starts with putting the tennis ball in the affected area. Then, start putting pressure on the tennis ball. Therefore, the muscle tension is relieved.
According to the Healthy.Shared, in case of sciatica, the ball targets the piriformis muscle which is near the sciatic nerve itself.
At the beginning, the pain is intense, so you shouldn’t worry too much. That’s a good sign to continue with the exercise. Apply pressure and endure the exercise.
Pressure on the spot should be applied for 30 or 60 seconds. Then move to another spot. The whole exercise is from 5 to 10 minutes.
The expert in this video demonstrates this exercise for you.
Experts also advise to be aware of your posture and don’t sit for longer than an hour.
Please share this very important advice with your friends and family, they’ll thank you for it.
A minor incident, which actually may happen to all of us, resulted with the death of an innocent man in Connecticut.
Antonio Muralles, age 52, bought his coffee in the local McDonald’s and he was on his way out. As soon as he started walking along the street, he bumped into two teenage kids, Marquest Hall and James McLamb.
As he bumped in the teenagers, unintentionally he spilled his coffee on them. As we all do in such circumstances, he apologized both of them for the unwanted situation. However, the teenagers did not think like that.
According to Daily Mail, the teenagers did not accept the apology and started threatening the man.
The 15-year old Marquest Hall stabbed the innocent man several times. Ironically and cruelly, he was repeatedly asking the man if he wanted to die.
The tragedy, however, happened.
The attack started with James punching the man. In just a few seconds after the punch, Hall started stubbing the man.
Muralles fell on the ground. However, this was not a reason for the boys to stop. They continued attacking him. The last stab was in his heart, which turned out to be fatal.
However, the investigation proved that this was not the only incident that Hall tried to create. Prior that attack, Hall was trying to come up with a reason for attacking a man with a walking stick.
Unfortunately, very soon, he saw Muralles and he found a chance to release his frustrations. That was tragic and fatal for the poor man.
‘Brutal, senseless and totally unnecessary’
Marquest Hall was charged with intentional manslaughter. He was going to get the maximum punishment. He also pleaded guilty, hoping that he will get less years in prison. News 12 Connecticut reported he will get 20 years behind bars for such charges.
Upon pleading guilty, the judge said there is a possibility for accepting it on base on his age and learning disabilities.
James McLamb also got what he deserved. He was charged with second-degree assault and he got five years behind bars.
In addition, McLamb apologized to the Muralles family.
Stamford Police Department adds that McLamb had also weapon charges with a $2 million bond. These two incidents are not related, though.
Please share to pay tribute to Anthony Muralles.
A simple visit to the local McDonald’s turned out deadly for the innocent man.
Different people love living in different types of houses. Some prefer large villas, some apartments and some houses. There are people who simply like living surrounded by the nature, avoiding the crowded residential areas. Driven by the same idea, some people choose to live on the open road. Interestingly, these last types of people can now enjoy the comfort by simply purchasing the Rustic River Park Home.
The Rustic River Park Home is not a house as we commonly understand the word. It’s a small RV, which is ready, any time, to be relocated. These are perfect for living deep in the woods, camp-sites or other non-residential and residential areas.
These types of houses give you a different living experience and an adventure that may give a new vibe to the family life.
These houses, however, are no like any other RVs. All materials are carefully selected, designed and installed. The manufacturer pays a special attention to the details and the quality of performance. These well-designed rustic houses satisfy everyone’s tastes.
The interior of the house is even more beautiful than the exterior. Wood is dominant building material and as it can be see from the images, they did a great job. The wooden walls and the furniture are marvellously crafted in order to give a warmth to the home. The stairs and the kitchen itself and all details in the living room give you a warmly comfort and enough space.
The bedroom is upstairs and since it’s in the loft space, it gives the owner enough privacy. There are also bunk beds which are useful in case visitirs drop by. The home gives you enough space and it can provide a comfort for up to six people!
Most of the models are 43 feet long and 11 feet wide and they are excellent for small families. This particular model, shown in the photos, is called ‘ Chattahoochee’, but, it’s not the only one. There are several models which the buyer can choose from, depending on the taste and needs. What’s even more important, they are not too expensive. The price of these homes is from $32,265 to $$42,940, fully furnished.
Believe us, space is not an issue with these homes. We do know people who decided to live down-town by renting or owning even smaller apartments than these houses. The real interesting thing about this home is the mobility. You can simply take your home with you!
Just imagine, living in your house while travelling around the world? Great chance right? You won’t miss your personal things nor your comfy bed. You can relax and have fun.
How suitable is this type of home for you? Would you live in one of them?
Before you leave your mark in the real world, you leave your legacy printed in the yearbook. No matter if you were the coolest person in high school, or a real nerd who only cared for getting straight A’s, it eventually all fades away, but the quote you choose to stand there proudly under your graduation photo is there, well, pretty much forever. Some students choose words of wisdom, others try to be witty, and those like this person named Jordan opted for something pretty inappropriate. And now we can’t help but wonder, how the hell did this quote passed and got published.
Before the school even noticed what slipped through their fingers, a redditor that goes by the name Bwawo posted it online. The school then yanked out the yearbooks from the students, but we guess it was way too late as it’s already everywhere.
The redditors say how the yearbooks still on sale were recalled, and if it wasn’t for this guy who shared the quote with the whole world, Jordan would have probably gotten away with it.
There are a bunch of other students who really nailed it when choosing the photo and the quote to be remembered for. Check this guy’s from a few years back. Subtle, indeed.
Religion is a private thing. It’s up to the people themselves to choose what to believe in and what not to believe in.
It’s also perfectly fine if one person does not believe in anything. Such people exist and it’s their own right to be atheists.
Nevertheless, there are believers and non-believers who try to push their point of view and convince the others in order ‘to choose the right path’. This is very rude and unacceptable in the modern world.
Regarding this issue, there is a fantastic factious story that involves a teacher and her students. The teacher’s intention is to tell her students what to believe in, and Adam’s reaction shuts her up.
The teacher is non-believer and she tries to place her views in front of the students.
“Go out in the schoolyard”
To demonstrate that God did not exist, Ms. Smith asked Adam:
“Adam, can you see that tree outside the window?”
“Yes,” the boy replied.
“Adam, can you see the lawn around the tree?”
“Yes,” the boy replied once again.
“Now go out in the schoolyard and look up at the sky,” Ms. Smith told him.
Adam nodded, and walked out in the schoolyard. He looked up at the blue sky for a few moments, then walked back into the classroom.
“Did you see God out there?”
“I saw the sky,” Adam said, happy to have been out in the yard for a few seconds.
“But did you see God up there?” the teacher said in a mocking tone.
“Nope, I didn’t,” Adam answered truthfully.
“Exactly. We can’t see God, because he’s not there. He simply doesn’t exist,” the teacher said with a jeering smile.
“Can you see miss Smith?”
Suddenly, Adam’s classmate Felicia eagerly raised her hand, and the teacher nodded for her to speak.
“Adam, can you see that tree outside the window?” little Felicia asked.
“Yes,” he replied.
“And can you see the lawn around the tree?”
“Yes,” Adam said.
“And did you see the sky out there?”
“Yes!” Adam said, a bit frustrated at all the questions.
“And can you see miss Smith?”
“So according to what we’ve been taught…”
“Yes,” Adam replied, now getting a bit curious.
“And can you see her brain?” little Felicia asked.
“Uhm, no,” Adam replied.
Felicia smiled at miss Smith.
“Okay, so according to what we’ve been taught today, miss Smith doesn’t have a brain!”

Fruit and vegetable are definitely the nutritions we need. Diet based on healthy food includes variety of vegetable and fruit combinations, and quite often avocado is one of them.
The benefits of eating avocado are huge. The delicious fruit affects the body in a positive way, giving the vitamins and nutritions we need.
Here are 10 reasons that may convince you to eat avocado on a regular base.
1. Weight Loss
The creamy fruit gives you a feeling of full stomach of up to 5 hours. Therefore, it’s very useful if you try to lose some weight.
A recent study shows that only 1/2 of avocado will do the job. Avocado will prevent you from eating additional fast food.
2. Blood Pressure
The potassium in the avocado is excellent in regulating the blood pressure. What the potassium does is flushing out the excess sodium in the body. This results with lower blood pressure since the tension on the blood vessel walls is lower.
3. Eye Health
Additionally, avocado is rich with lutein and zeaxanthin. These two are quite healthy and good for the eyes and the vision quality.
Out of all plants, these two ingredients can be found only in avocado.
4. Cholesterol Levels
Avocados also help in regulating the level of cholesterol in the blood. The studies have proven that the avocado reduces the LDL, or known as bad cholesterol.
5. Diabetes Prevention
This fruit is very good for those people diagnosed with diabetes. The researches show that the avocado helps to even the glucose level.
6. Pregnancy
Avocados are rich in vitamin B6, folate, vitamin C and potassium. All of these are exceptionally useful for pregnant women. These are good and healthy for the baby as well. Additionally, they decrease the morning sickness.
7. Bone Health
\
We don’t forget the vitamin K as well. Avocados are great source of vitamin K. This vitamin, along with vitamin D and calcium, are extremely good for the bones. Vitamin K helps the absorption of the calcium.
8. Nutrient Rich
It is very hard knowing all the vitamins and their sources. Therefore, avocados are good in this term. The fruit has over 20 vitamins and minerals and it provides the daily recommended quantities. For example, one avocado has 25% of vitamin C, 39% vitamin K, 30% folate, and 21% potassium.
9. Absorption of Nutrients
Avocados also help in the absorption of the nutrients. The ingredients in this fruit help the body to absorb the nutrients efficiently. Otherwise, the nutrients may easily be discharged out of the digestive system.
10. Healthy Fats
Healthy fats are definitely useful and essential for our bodies. Therefore, avocados are indeed excellent source of these. These fats reduce the risks of stroke, heart attack and bad cholesterol.
Eat Green
The best thing about avocado is that it can be combined with many other ingredients. The results are varieties of salty or sweet meals. This fruit’s recipe possibilities are great.
Smoothies, cream, slices for toasts, salads… The possibilities are great, you just have to buy it and start eating healthy.
Once you start eating avocado, you will feel the benefits immediately.
Simon and Garfunkel’s most iconic song, “Bridge over Troubled Water,” that was released back in 1970 as part of their fifth and final album, made it among the best-selling singles of all time, with over six-million copies sold worldwide. It won Grammy Award for Record of the Year and Song of the Year and was a number one hit on The Billboard Hot 100. This everlasting song topped the charts in countries from every corner of the world and is one of the most performed songs. Some of the famous names who did covers are Elvis Presley and Aretha Franklin, but we have to agree that the singer who did greatest justice to this song is Josh Groban.
Groban’s powerful vocal never ceases to amaze the crowds and each of his performances gives us goosebumps. Listening to him singing resembles pure magic. The fact that David Foster chose him to sing in place of Andrea Boceli speaks a lot about this singer and actor’s talent. His renditions are unique as he’s able to incorporate a bit of his personality in each and every one of them.
During one of his concerts held in Madison Square Garden, he surprised the cheering audience with “Bridge over Troubled Water.” The moment they heard the notes of this piece of music which carries the influence of gospel tunes, the hall was filled with loud applause.
He sat behind the piano and sang the first couple of lines all by himself. A few minutes later his enchanting voice was accompanied by backup singers whose vocals blended with the instruments in a perfect harmony, creating choir-esque feel.
Whether he performs his original music, or renditions of other authors’ songs, Josh is truly a one-of-a-kind performer who makes everything sound as it came straight from Heaven. Once you hear him singing, you’ll want more.
No matter if you are a fan or not, you are going to love this performance, because let’s get honest, what’s not to love about Josh Groban?
I just love these stunningly inspirational videos depicting women who are undergoing incredible transformations and turn into the person they’ve always wanted to be. And speaking of positive changes, it’s pretty obvious that Christopher Hopkins, aka the Makeover Guy has his share. This guy does magic and impacts people’s life so deeply that their self-confidence boosts and they feel like brand new individuals.
This time, Christopher brought some rays of sunshine in the life of Janet. This lovely lady had been through so much during her life, and after the passing of her husband whom she took care of, her life collapsed. But now she has a reason to smile again. Her son is getting married and she wants to look fabulous for this special day.
“I literally have never done anything like this by myself, or for myself…I just thought if I don’t do it now, I never will,”
Janet told Christopher’s team.
“And there’s no promise of tomorrow.”
Humble Janet didn’t want much, all she said she needed was “just to be me, but better.”
Her lifeless, gray hair was about to get a new color and a fancy style that would fit the shape of her face just perfectly. The best part of this transformation is that it didn’t only affect Janet’s physical appearance but it let her vibrant personality shine through her face. The quiet and confused woman turned into a happy lady, and everyone could see that.
When she saw herself in the mirror she was wowed by the way she looked. She said, “It looks like me, not somebody else. It’s not so overdone.” With a huge grin on her face, Janet confessed how she hasn’t laughed like this in years. We are so happy she could finally get rid of the depression that struck her after her dear husband left this world.
If her husband is looking at her from Heaven he’s probably thinking, “You did it, girl, I’m so proud of you.”
People are saying how she’s going to rock her new appearance at her son’s wedding, and we can’t agree more. One person commented, “Janet, you are a sweetheart! I love the new hair, it’s light and airy, perfect for a Spring wedding and a brand new life. All the best!!”
As for us, we say how this woman is perfect, both inside and out. Take a look at her journey in the video below.
The whole nation is standing by little Landen’s side. The five-year-old who suffered severe injuries after the 40 feet fall continues fighting for his life.
As we are all praying and donating for the sweet boy, a friend of the family has provided an update on his condition. As the public was previously informed how there has been no marked change, we are finally getting some news that bring a spark of hope.
The tragedy that struck the family and left Landen in a life-threatening condition and struggling for his life was caused by Emmanuel Deshawn Aranda. He has been jailed on suspicion of attempted premeditated first-degree murder and could be serving up to 20 years in prison. Aranda told the police how he was looking for someone to kill that day, and Landen ended up being the unfortunate victim. He suffered in an unprovoked incident, and his fate is still uncertain, although we all hope for the best.
$700K raised for boy thrown from third floor at Mall of America
A GoFundMe campaign created to help little Landen Hoffman has raised more than $700,000.https://t.co/FPp6EU8OC3
Noah Hanneman, a close friend of the Hoffmans, posted an update for the public saying: “We have good news to share with you all on this Good Friday! Our miracle child Landen is showing real signs or recovery. New test results have been positive, though he remains in intensive care with a long road ahead. Our faith in God, and our Savior Jesus, is strong and we are gaining more reason for optimism day by day. “
He adds how the little boy’s family appreciates people are respecting their privacy during these hard times and are thankful for all the prayers and the donations.
The incident shook America to the core and now people from all over the country, and even other places, are gathered together in their mission of helping little Landed survive.
The goal of the GoFundMe page that has been set to help Landed and his family with the medical costs is $1,000,000. So far more than $900,000 have been raised.
This world is a better place because of people like young Hanna Pignato who proved once again that not all heroes wear capes. This 19-year-old lady didn’t hesitate even a bit when she found herself in a situation where she could offer help and try save another person’s life.
While she was at work, on the rooftop deck of Joe’s Crab Shack in Daytona Beach on Saturday, she recalls she heard someone screaming and desperately asking for help. She could see a group of people gathered around a terrified mother whose son got stranded from his boogie board and was caught in a strong rip tide.
“I saw the mom screaming and crying. Just hearing her wail terrified me. Then I saw the little boy … his head just kept going down,” Hanna Pignato told Daytona Beach News-Journal.
None of the onlookers actually tried saving the drowning boy, but Hanna couldn’t just stay there and do nothing, so she threw off her shoes and jumped off the pier.
She was confident in her swimming skills and was brave enough to take things into her hands.
Unfortunately, just as she dove in, something awful happened. According to WESH, Hanna hit a sandbar and got fractures in her right foot and her back. But despite being in terrible pain, she didn’t stop swimming.
“I didn’t want the baby to die. He wasn’t a baby, he was 7 years old, 8 years old, but still I mean, that’s a human life — you just can’t look at that and walk away”, Hanna said.
She only headed towards the beach after she saw a man grabbing the drowning boy. It took her every ounce of strength she possessed to drag herself out of the water.
But this lady is fierce and says she doesn’t regret her decision of lending a helping hand to someone in need of help.
She’s currently staying at the hospital because of the injuries she suffered. Her mother Heather Pignato said how her daughter broke her right foot in three places when she leaped off the pier.
Her injuries aren’t minor, but she’s aware they could be much worse. But all she cares about is that the boy is now safe and sound.
“She had surgery on her foot this morning,” Heather told Palm Beach Post. “I’m just glad she won’t need surgery on her back.”
Hanna’s family set up a GoFundMe page to help this brave lady with the medical costs, because she doesn’t have health insurance. Her recovery may take a while, but her courageous act will be remembered forever.
People are praising Hanna for what she did, because not everyone is ready to risk their own life for the sake of saving another’s. Her family is very proud of her. And we have to say that her mother raised her right.
“She kept saying ‘I’m sorry, don’t be mad at me’ and I said ‘Hanna, you tried to save someone,’” Heather Pignato said.
We pray for Hanna’s quick recovery and we are so glad kind-hearted people like her still exist, because stories like this restore our faith in humanity and remind us that not everything is as bad as it seems.
Thank you young lady, you showed the world what life is all about, and that’s caring for the others and offering help when needed.
Seeing someone you love turning into a person unable to take care of themselves because of an illness they suffer is the saddest thing ever. When 71-year-old Joy Lewis was diagnosed with Alzheimer, her three daughters did their best to provide her with all the love and devotion and were there to satisfy every need she had. Sadly, her condition got worse over time, and the family decided it would be for the best if they place her at a residential home.
At first, Joy seemed to love the stay there. But with every visit, her daughters could feel something wasn’t right. In order to be sure their mother was in the right hands, they set up cameras in her room and waited in anticipation to see how the elderly lady got the bruises and why her skin was covered in sores.
The footage showed gruesome images. Their mother was treated with disrespect. She had been dragged out of bed, and forcefully grabbed by the arms. She was also refused her medications, any water, or proper food. Her pleas for going to the bathroom were completely ignored. Joy was experiencing real hell, and her daughters made sure the nurses pay for the pain they caused.
However, it looks like the authorities in this city of England weren’t strict to the wrongdoers, as they were given suspended prison sentences and ordered to carry out community service, although they confessed they committed the act.
Joy’s daughters believe every facility like the one where their mother was placed should have cameras installed.
The video below shows violent images that some viewers may find disturbing.
The saying ‘Never give up’ turned out to be completely true for the 92-year old Lyndel Rhodes. This lady became quite famous in the ninth decade of her life. Her love for the music brought her the happiness she was dreaming of.
As an amateur musician, she was playing instruments and writing songs for her own pleasure. Recently, she wrote a song named ‘Little House on the Hill’. However, what she did not know was that the song will bring her enormous happiness.
Lyndel’s son Buddy Canon is a record producer and upon hearing the song, he got in touch with Willie Nelson. Very soon, Buddy and Willie gave Lyndel the surprise of her lifetime. Upon hearing Willie’s voice singing her song, she was more than happy. She was also glad to find out that Nelson actually loved the song.
Lyndel and
her family are music lovers. They have been especially into country music. She
was introduced with this music genre since she was very little. She now recalls
her father playing the banjo.
However, Lyndel was especially fond of harmonica. She became very good harmonica player. In the past she has recorded even a CD with old time songs and tunes, performed by Lundel herself. She never thought that some day she will be in touch with an artist like Nelson. Now, she is proud to say that she is the author of a song adored by Willie Nelson.
Take a look at the video and see this wonderful old lady.
Do you want cheap and delicious food? The fast food restaurant are just the place you are looking for. These restaurants serve food which is usually not expensive and its affordable to almost anyone. We say almost, since there are people among us with low luck and no money to buy even the cheapest meal that is been offered.
One such man, with almost no money and home, wanted to buy a meal in one fast food restaurant. His luck this time did not bring him money, but something worthier.
This story is known to us thanks to Robert Gooch. He decided to take a bite at the Chick-fil-A in Jackson, Mississipi. While he was standing in the line and working on his phone, he witnessed something so interesting.
In front of Robert, there was a man. Judging by his backpack and his old clothes, he figured it out that he was a homeless man. The man wanted to have a meal in the restaurant, but he had only five dollars. This money was not enough for anything there.
The lady that served the homeless man was Karina. She turned out to be a very kind and generous lady. She asked the man to pick up what he wanted to eat. Moreover, she told him to take a drink and enjoy the meal. The man knew he didn’t have money for all of that, but Karina told him not to worry about it since she was paying for his lunch.
Robert witnessed all of that. His amazed face was evident. He wanted to share this event with his friends, so he posted all of it on his Facebook page. Among the other things, he wrote:
“It would have been so easy to turn around and ask the manager to step in or for help but she didn’t she just said hey it’s on me. She could have just gave him water and took his money and went on to the next customer and again she didn’t she just did it.”
Robert also adds that he has never seen anything like that before. He was in the customer service for a very long time and gestures like these are extremely rare. In addition he praised Karina’s goodness and kindness and noted that the success of the business is due to employees like Karina – honest and kind.
A real-life lesson! If there are more people like Karina with good and kind heart, this world would be a much better place to live in.
We are sure you have heard many different versions of the song ‘Hallelujah’. As one of the most popular compositions, the song is sang by various different singers and with various different quality. Since 1984, the year of its release, Leonard Cohen remains widely recognized by this very successful tune.
Among the most powerful performances of the song is the version sang by McKenna Breinholt and the Cinematic Pop Orhcestra and Choir. On June 9 2015 at the Mesa Arts Centre in Mesa, Arizona, the singer and the orchestra joined their forces and amazed the crowd. The singer is backed up by the choir and together they give a performance worth remembering for the rest of your life.
The beginning of the song is performed only by the musicians. Their smooth and well-harmonized tunes make you feel fantastic. However, as soon as the girl joins the orchestra, the atmosphere becomes marvellous.
McKenna showed what kind of vocal skills she possesses. Her singing is near perfection. The clear voice and the lyrics make this performance quite remarkable. However, the choir does its job wonderfully as well. The energy they transmit to the audience is just amazing.
Take a look at this performance. Since we are sure you have seen many different versions of the song, you don’t want to miss this one. Who knows, maybe this one will become your favorite performance of the well-known ‘Hallelujah’.
Callie is eighteen months old and she is already fighting for her life. This cute little girl has just started living her life when a devastating news was announced by the doctors. She has been diagnosed with neuroblastoma.
The disease has metastasized to her lymph nodes and bones. This kid’s fate is tragic and melts our hearts seeing her in a condition like that. Imagine her parents pain. They are always besides her, supporting Callie and providing the things she needs.
However, there are people on this planet who are just evil. The hate and cruelty in their words is just too much to bare. Believe it or not, these kinds of words have been addressed to the girl after her parents posted a link on their Facebook page. They posted their GoFundMe campaign.
The GoFundMe page was created by a family member. The idea was to collect donations that will help Callie fight the battle. The parent posted the link on their Facebook page in order to spread the news.
As it was
expected, the family got donations for this cute little angel. Moreover, they
received a lot of support by the community. However, one comment shocked them!
The comment posted on their Facebook page said:
“My prayers for Callie. I was going to donate $7600.00 to her fund, but I found out her parents are lesbian. I’ve chosen to donate to St. Jude due to that fact. Sorry. I’ll still pray for her though, but maybe it’s God’s way of getting your attention that she needs a mommy and a daddy, not two mommy’s.”
This was not welcomed by the majority of the people.
The parents replied:
“This is a very sick little girl, who’s life is on the line……for someone to actually send this and speak to my family in this way is utterly DISGUSTING……regardless of how you feel, don’t say a word. What Callie needs is love and support…..not hate and misery.”
Callie got all the support and attention from the people. The hopes were restored after the doctors’ new announcement. They explained:
“Callie will be starting round 5 of chemo on Monday! He also said that there will be no need for round 6 after that stem cell transplant. He said 98% of her tumor is dead!”
If you can, you are welcome to help Callie. This girl deserves to be happy and healthy again!
As we keep praying for five-year-old Landen to recover from the horrific injuries he suffered after he was thrown from the third floor balcony, the man who committed the gruesome act revealed the motives behind his action.
The boy’s family was left in complete shock and disbelief, never assuming what was supposed to be a fun day at the mall could turn into the worst nightmare.
According to the New York Post, when questioned by the police, 24-year-old Emmanuel Deshawn Aranda said he planned on killing an adult that day, but Landen got on his way and became the victim of this lunatic.
The tragic incident took place on Friday, April 12. The fall left little Landen with severe injuries, and currently, no improvement in his condition has been reported by the hospital where he has been admitted. The boy suffered fractured bones in his limbs, as well as massive head trauma and bleeding from the head.
A 5-year-old is being treated for "significant injuries" after witnesses say the child was thrown from a third-floor balcony at the Mall of America. A 24-year-old man is in custody. https://t.co/b3mj5TddEapic.twitter.com/gK3uvZg07j
The suspect has been charged with attempted premeditated first-degree murder. He confessed that at the time he visited the Minnesota’s Mall of America, his intentions were to find someone to kill. He believed it was going to be an adult as they are the ones who usually stay near the mall balconies. Unfortunately, Landen found himself at the scene and became the victim.
The New York Post reported that as Aranda got closer to Landen and his mom, she asked whether they should move so that he could pass by, and it was then that he “picked up the victim and threw him.”
After this, he simply started running. What a cold-hearted man.
$700K raised for boy thrown from third floor at Mall of America
A GoFundMe campaign created to help little Landen Hoffman has raised more than $700,000.https://t.co/FPp6EU8OC3
It was later revealed how Aranda’s aggressive behavior was a result of the rejections he was getting by all those women he tried to seduce at the Bloomington mall throughout the years.
As for sweet little Lendon, he found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time, and now the whole nation is standing by his side. The GoFundMe page that was set to raise the money needed for his medical treatments stand in excess of $730,000. If you want to donate funds, please visit the page.
All we hope for is for Lendon to recover and have a normal childhood. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.
With the living expenses getting higher with every year that passes, many people are desperately looking for cheaper alternatives that wouldn’t affect the quality of their living a great deal.
A single father from Brighton, UK named Adam Collier set up a goal of turning an old bus into the perfect living space for him and his teenage daughter, and the result has to be seen to be believed. Honestly, I don’t recall seeing something cooler in a very long time.
This 42-year-old carpenter was certain in his abilities and knew the bus could become a convenient home when they are on the run exploring the beauties of the country.
He starts the whole renovation process with a certain budget he had on mind, and was determined not to spend more than £10,000 for the whole project. He was aware, however, that it would be a real challenge to create the mobile living space of his dreams, but he was eager to try and he really did his best.
He faced some structural issues along the way, but managed to overcome them all thanks to his DIY skills and his enthusiasm.
It all started with the purchase of the double-decker and getting rid of the seats. He kept some, however, and used them later on during the process. It was a long way Adam had in front of him, but the thought of designing his own house on wheels kept him going.
The first issue he encountered was the lack of insulation that he had to install himself.
Adam didn’t ask anyone for help as he wanted to finish his home all by himself. When speaking to Amazing Space he said:
“I’m a tradesman as well, so I knew how to do everything, and there was no point in asking anyone else to help. Also, it was my project. I couldn’t expect others to share my level of enthusiasm.”
After drilling some beams in order to reinforce the structure, Adam stuffed the bus with sheet insulation.
This carpenter made sure every single inch of his new home was used well. He opted for affordable, yet fancy materials that only added to the beauty of the final result.
Before placing some furniture inside, Adam very carefully considered the weight distribution, and decided to keep the bulk of weight on the lower deck. That’s where he placed the kitchen and the dining table. He chose a vibrant green color that gave the home life.
The benches he used are originally from the bus, he just used sponge foam and added some cushions.
What’s best about the dining area isn’t the fancy way it looks, but the fact the table could be folded when not in use.
For the floors and the walls, Adam used tongue-and-groove panels which gave the place sort of vintage appearance. However, many of the things that were there already remained untouched. Ok, maybe a bit improved, such as some handles, the old tickets dumping bin, some of the signs that once served the purpose of warning and reminding the passengers of how to behave while traveling, and the side mirrors.
The process was going slowly but smoothly. However, some unexpected expenses arose, such as broken generator, which led to going over the budget.
However, knowing Adam spent almost half the money he was willing to spend for the whole project on purchasing the bus which cost £4,500, he kept other things as low-cost as possible.
With the idea of sticking to his budget, he found a way to get a perfect looking kitchen that didn’t cost him an arm and a leg. Adam bought some inexpensive kitchenette he later perfected by creating a new facade and some nice handles.
The most expensive part of the kitchen was the wooden worktop, but he didn’t mind as it really adds to the perfection of that part of the place.
“The most expensive part of it [kitchen] was the worktop. The whole kitchen cost peanuts, really.”
The bus’ staircase leads to an interesting part of Adam’s home that he refers to as the resting nook.
That nook is Adam’s favorite place. It’s perfect for relaxing your mind and body. The details, including Britain’s flag themed cushions give the sense of being home, and the feeling is priceless.
The new home is spacious and Adam’s daughter can even invite her friends for a sleepover if she wishes so, there’s plenty of room for every visitor who wants to enjoy the stay in the double-decker.
The big windows allow plenty of natural light to enter the bus. But what Adam is most proud of is the sliding bedroom. It really takes a lot of creativity to come up with such a brilliant idea.
The upper deck fitted three bedroom, and that’s something people can’t afford having even in a real house. Adam achieved this by placing a bunk bed at the back.
This cool project took six months to finish, and the outcome is breathtaking. Both Adam and his daughter Devon are lovers of the sea and love surfing, so they could drive themselves to the beach whenever they want to have fun and play with the waves.
Although he didn’t stick to the budget and spent additional £5,000, Adam isn’t sorry because he got something truly unique. How many people could brag of having a home on wheels? Not many, I guess.
This double-decker is a picture perfect option for a second home for people like Adam and Devon, who have adventurous spirits.
Salons are the places where women feel happy and fabulous. They go there to get a new hair style or some other beauty treatment. Therefore, the expected outcome of visiting a salon is a happy smiling person.
However, this didn’t happen to Jeniffer Dreyer Brown. She had totally different experience with one salon.
Happy Nails in Laguna Niguel, California wasn’t ‘a happy place’ at all for this lady. She left the salon in tears. She was humiliated by the salon staff due to a disorder she was suffering from.
Jeniffer is suffering of lupus. This disease is autoimmune which causes the body to attack the healthy tissue. As a result of that, inflammation is very common. Nevertheless, this disease is not contagious. To make things worse, Jeniffer has got ‘discoid lupus’.
The ‘discoid lupus’ cases the person to be extremely sensitive to sunlight. The sun and the higher temperature make the skin look even worse.
Unfortunately, the day she went to the salon was a very hot one.
Jeniffer says:
“I was born and raised in Laguna Beach – there is no amount of sunblock or umbrellas [to prevent the flares]. The scars on my skin get red when I go outside.”
As it was a very warm day, Jeniffer was wearing a sundress. Therefore, the skin and the disorder were highly visible.
As a consequence to that, the salon denied to manicure the lady, even though they agreed to that in first place.
While they denied to manicure her, they agreed to give her a pedicure. As Jeniffer was sitting in the salon, she heard people talking. She guessed they talked about her.
As soon as they finished with the pedicure procedure, they agreed only to polish her finger nails. Their excuse for not giving her full manicure treatment was that there were no free workers.
However, what Jeniffer noticed shocked her. Staff was sitting around the salon. They were free. This confirmed her suspicion. They refused her due to her skin condition.
She says there were no scars on the hands and she adds:
“I showed her my hands and she still denied me.”
The workers did not improve their behaviour and made the things worse. They said that the hands are fine, but the rest of the body is affected. This brought tears in Jeniffer’s eyes.
“They made up so many excuses and lies. I have never been so publicly humiliated in my life!” she wrote.
Immediately she recorded herself and posted the video on her Facebook page.
She explains her situation and she tells people not to go there.
“The one time I choose to go out in a sundress because its 110 degrees people judge me because I have lupus and my skin is broken out,” she says tearfully in her video. “I never felt more like a leper and more judged in orange county. I just want you to know you need to be nice to people. You don’t know whats going on with someone on the inside or outside for that matter.”
The video reached a lot of people. They were angry and left negative reviews about the salon.
The official explanation of the salon and their attorney was that they were following the code of the California Board of Cosmetology. They said:
“No person … shall perform service upon a surface of the skin or scalp where such skin is inflamed, or broken … or where a skin infection or eruption is present.”
They refused the discrimination charges.
“We at Happy Nails feel bad for the customer that presented with Lupus disease. We do not discriminate at Happy Nails. The customer interpreted our inability to work on her nails as discrimination,” the attorney’s statement read. “The workers are very hard working immigrants that would want nothing more than to provide the service. However, they must follow the mandates of the law.”
Jeniffer concludes that even though she was a regular client there, she is not planning to go back again.
Take a look at the video and witness her experience.
School days are supposed to be the best days of one’s life because that’s when people get to meet new friends, some of which last even for a lifetime, gather knowledge on many subjects, and start understanding life.
For one girl named Delanie Marcotte, however, school is the place she hates. Instead of feeling secure, this lady fears stepping her foot in the school’s building every single day. The reason why is something many youngsters are affected by, and that’s the disrespectful treatment they get by their peers. Bullying isn’t absent at Pollard Elementary School in Plaistow New Hampshire where lovely Delanie studies.
What she had to endure was so severe that she was even getting death threats by her mean classmates. To hear of something like this is devastating, and speaks a lot of the inability of many parents to teach their children respect and kindness.
“They kick me and they say mean things, call me names – it is not nice,” Delanie told NECN.com.
The family tried everything in order to put an end to the girl’s suffering but they came across parents who stood behind their misbehaving kids and wouldn’t cooperate in order for the problem to be solved.
They recall how the mother of one of the kids even confronted Delanie and said how she was trying to put her son into trouble when she accused him of bullying.
As they couldn’t cope with what was going on any longer, and the school refused to take an action, they turned to the school board.
“It is very hard to watch your child get bullied, hear about it day in and day out, and you do get very aggravated,” Delanie’s father, Todd Marcotte, said. “It’s an issue, and it’s an issue that has to be addressed.”
The bullying she experienced didn’t turn this girl into an insecure victim, but on the contrary, it gave her strength to speak up of the issue of bullying and stand for herself. The plea she made at the Timberlane Regional School Board was so personal that it touched the hearts of many.
This is what she had to say:
“I am here to talk about a problem that means a lot to me — bullying,” Delanie told the school board with her voice trembling. “Bullying is a problem in our school. I am a victim of it. My parents have contacted the school about it, but it continues. It happened to me and my classmates. I have been asked by the mother of my bully during a school field trip why I tried to get her son in trouble.”
“I have been threatened to get shot in the head by an AK-47 and buried in my back yard and many other things. I ask you what are you going to do to protect me and my classmates against bullying. I am here to stand up for every kid that gets bullied.”
The video of the speech full of emotions spread on the Internet like a wildfire, and parents of other bullied kids are praising Delanie for her courage.
“Quite frankly, she is doing something that I would have never had the guts to do, being bullied myself in high school,” Delanie’s mother, Amy Marcotte, said in a statement to WMUR in Manchester, New Hampshire.“We stand by her 100 percent and will do whatever it takes to protect our child.”
The school district encouraged other students experiencing the same issue not to stay silent about it. The sad reality is that the number of students affected by peer bullying is very high and it looks like no one is willing to address it in a more serious manner. There are even cases of suicides reported as a result of bullying.
“We will continue to encourage all students to speak up when they see, hear or experience something that makes them uncomfortable,” said Earl F. Metzler, School District Superintendent. “The same holds true for parents and community members. There are many vehicles at Timberlane to share your concerns including, but not limited to, the public comment portion of our School Board agenda.”
Delanie is happy the school district is asking others to share their stories, but that’s not what she expected from them. What she really wants to know is what they are going to do once all those victims speak up. She wants to hear concrete proposals for real actions on protecting the bullied students.

A very interesting thing happened during the Bison girls game on the Siebel Soccer Park in Great Falls, Montana. This event got the attention of the Internet users due to its unusual nature.
The sports field is like every other in the country. There is nothing special about it. However, a unique tradition kept on the field makes this sports arena very peculiar.
About this tradition we could learn more thanks to the video that was uploaded on the Internet. This unique practice was recorded by one of the spectators.
On Thursday afternoon the Bison girls were playing against Brute. However, in the middle of the game the players suddenly froze.
All of the girls stopped playing, upon hearing a very familiar sound. The referee, obviously familiar with their traditional practice, stopped the game for a short period of time.
These girls knew what they were doing and they really amazed us.
The thing that made the girls stop playing was the national anthem. Upon hearing the national anthem, the girls froze and paid respect to the national song.
The anthem was not played on the field itself, but in the Malmstrom Air Force Base. The base is just across the Siebel Soccer Park and it can be heard very clearly.
As usual, 4:30 is the time when the national flag is lowered and the national anthem is played in the background. This is a well-known practice not just for the military staff, but for the residence as well.
Therefore, the girls knew what to do. They stopped running, placed their hands on their hearts and honoured the national flag.
This was very interesting for the spectators and therefore we do have the recording to witness this fascinating tradition.
This tradition was not practiced until the teams started playing at the Siebel Soccer Park.
This tradition started with Willie Pyette. He took over the coaching position in the team. As a new coach he decided that the girls will be playing in the Siebel Soccer Park.
The girls continued their practice and their official matches in the sports field. However, something interesting has been immediately noticed.
The daily tradition of playing the anthem in the military base could be heard in the park as well. Therefore, the coach decided to make it a tradition of the team as well.
As a result of that, the anthem and paying respect to it are part of the Bison and the Rustlers’ routine. Whenever they hear the anthem, they stop and continue playing after the anthem is done.
The teams’ tradition says that you are allowed to play after the anthem is over.
The coach and the players do not see this as a political statement, but a simple patriotic act. Pyette says:
”I have our team stop, stand at attention and honor the anthem. Then we go back to practice. We all stand and show respect.”
He adds that the tradition is unique and it will be kept as long as soccer is played at the Siebel Soccer Park.
These teams show some real love and respect for our country. Their tradition is an evidence that some things have utmost value in our lives, like the national symbols for example.
Neglecting, offending or even protesting against the national symbols is not just a protest or offending act towards the country, but towards its people as well.
These girls taught us a valuable lesson. Well done girls!
