May 20, 2015 by

A Father Secretly Films His Daughter’s Selfie Session, And It’s Hilarious.
May 20, 2015 by
Rob Beckham was out driving with his daughter in the back when he noticed quite a bit of movement in the rear mirror and realized it was his daughter having one heck of a selfie photo session.
After giggling at her for a while he realized he really needed to capture this moment for posterity’s sake. Good thing he did, since it’s absolutely hilarious!

Arapahoe High School senior Claire Davis remains hospitalized in critical condition with severe head trauma after being shot in school during Friday’s shooting.
A prayer vigil was held, and once word got out that Claire Davis was a fan of the group One Direction, the hashtag #get1DtoClaire got moving. Here’s a small sample of the support:

Something is rotten in the state of US education

Dementia is Stealing this Woman’s Mind. But What Her Husband Just Did Proves It Can’t Steal Love.
May 18, 2015 by
Matt and Julie Muircroft have been happily married for years, but recently, dementia has been stealing Julie’s mind from her. He needed to move back to Scotland, but feared the change in scenery would upset his wife who can get confused over the smallest things.
That’s why he decided to dedicate hours upon hours to recreating their old home in their new apartment.
This is one of the photographs Matt used to help recreate their former home.
He made sure that the new apartment looked exactly like their old one so his wife would feel comfortable.
When people with dementia change their surroundings, they can became even more confused and stressed.
So Matt painstakingly and lovingly created a happy home for Julie all over again.
The new apartment is a monument of his love for her… and we think it’s incredible.
If you felt moved by this husband’s compassion and dedication to his wife, share this article.

He Gave His 84 Year Old Grandma An iPad. When He Returned 30 Minutes Later, She Had Done THIS.
May 17, 2015 by
When a user on Reddit decided to surprise his grandma with a new iPad, this is probably the last thing he expected to happen. Here’s what he said:
Bought my Grandma an iPad. She’s 84 and never had a tablet, and wanted it for “art.” I bought ArtRage for her and left her alone with her new toy for 30 minutes. This is what I came back to.
Whoa.
Like one person said on the original post, “Admit it. You bought your Grandma a mirror.”

One thing is certain: Grandma has got some skills. Share this with others and make her day.

Read more: The Most Disgusting Part Of These Photos Is What’s Hidden by These Piles of Trash. OMG.
May 15, 2015 by
If you were to walk by a river and saw trash floating down it, you’d probably be disgusted. Pollution is a terrible, passive attack on the world around us. If it bothers you, though, then we suggest staying out of Indonesia. There is a body of water called the Citarum river in Indonesia that would make you gag on sight. It is so polluted and filled with trash, you can’t even see the water. I’m not joking.
Nearly 5 million people live at the basin of the river, but their activity is just a fraction of the reason why the river is so clogged with trash.
memolition.com
Nearby textile factories are heavy contributors of toxic waste to the water.
memolition.com
More than 2,000 industries contaminate 5,020 sq miles of the river with lead, mercury, arsenic and other toxins.
memolition.com
This disgusting river supports local agriculture, water supply, fishery, industry, sewerage, electricity and more.
memolition.com
The extremely dirty river flows downstream into rice paddies where families dangerously use it to clean, cook, wash and drink.
memolition.com
It is known as the most polluted river in the world, and we can see why.
memolition.com
But even on an individual level, humans constantly pollute the river with their trash and waste.
memolition.com
It’s hard to imagine what kind of bacteria and viruses are breeding within the dirty waters of the Citarum river. But, for the local people in Indonesia, it’s one of the water supplies they must rely on to stay alive. In December of 2008, the Asian Development Bank approved a $500 million loan for cleaning up the river. To this day, it’s still considered one of the world’s most polluted. I’ve never felt so happy to have clean drinking water.
