It’s often said that true heroes don’t wear capes—they’re just ordinary people doing good without expecting anything in return. A hero can be anyone: a neighbor, a boss, a cashier at the store, or even you.
Story 1:
A few years ago, my husband wakes me up early in the morning and asks me where my passport is. I say, “In my bag!” And he snidely says, “Where’s your bag?”
It turns out that yesterday I wandered around a construction hypermarket and left it there while I was looking at something. The bag was found, they took out my passport, started to check on the database, whether I have a loyalty card of their shop. There was no card. They started to look if my husband had a card (they found his name in the passport).
In general, the kind people didn’t just leave it, but found me, and I was totally unaware and was sleeping peacefully. I ran to the shop, they gave me the bag, and there were a lot of things I needed — documents, money…
The security guard, a good man with a sense of humor, laughed, saying that things happen. He didn’t take the money I offered to him. There are a lot of good people out there, they just don’t flaunt their kindness.
The skies above the U.S. turned an eerie red, unsettling residents nationwide. While strange phenomena had occurred before, this felt different—ominous, as if signaling something beyond comprehension.
Whispers spread, with many recalling ancient scriptures warning of celestial signs before great upheavals. The unnatural hue cast a sense of unease, leaving people to wonder if this was merely a rare atmospheric event or a deeper, foreboding message.
Brad Sigmon, a 67-year-old man who has spent over two decades on death row, is set to be executed by firing squad tonight (March 7), marking the first execution of its kind in South Carolina’s history. With only hours remaining, he has submitted a last-minute clemency plea, seeking intervention from Governor Henry McMaster.
Sigmon was sentenced to death in 2002 for murdering his ex-girlfriend’s parents, David and Gladys Larke, in Greenville County. He fatally beat them with a baseball bat before kidnapping his ex-girlfriend, Rebecca Barbre, at gunpoint. Barbre managed to escape his vehicle before further harm. Along with two death sentences, he received 30 years for first-degree burglary. His numerous appeals have all been denied.
His attorney, Bo King, argues the execution should not proceed due to concerns over South Carolina’s lethal injection protocol. Sigmon previously sought information on the drugs’ availability and condition, but officials allegedly failed to clarify whether they were expired or compromised. This uncertainty, King claims, left Sigmon uninformed about his legal rights when choosing an execution method.
Fox News host James, who joined the network in 2018, recently commented on a rare public display of affection between Donald and Melania Trump. Noting Melania’s unusually warm demeanor, James highlighted her radiant smile and confident posture, a stark contrast to her previously reserved persona.
Body language expert Judi James observed that Melania appeared more engaged and self-assured, aligning with her latest official portrait, which presents her as an active and influential partner.
At the event, Trump praised her dedication to causes like foster care, further enhancing her glowing presence. This shift suggests Melania is stepping into a more visible and engaged public role, moving beyond the detached image she once held. As the Trump family remains in the political spotlight, her evolving public persona signals a newfound confidence and purpose, shaping perceptions of her role in their partnership.
Before you start treatment, understand how your child could have gotten head lice. Head lice don’t jump, they don’t live on pets and they have nothing to do with personal hygiene. The most common way head lice spread is by head-to-head contact. This means your child must have been touching heads with someone who has head lice. This may happen during sports, slumber parties or play time in or outside of school.
A less likely way to get head lice is by sharing personal items that touch the head, such as hats, hair brushes and hair accessories. Head lice need to have a blood meal every 12 to 24 hours, so they can’t survive away from a human head for longer than a day.
Step 2: Contain the Problem
Once your child comes home with a confirmed case of head lice, take steps to prevent lice from spreading to other family members.
Avoid hugging or other close contact.
Check other kids and adults in your household for head lice.
Often, by the time you get a call from a school nurse, your child has had head lice for a while. Your whole family may need to be treated to prevent reinfestation.
Washing hats, pillow cases and similar items that touch the head in hot water may help contain head lice. However, disinfecting your house is not necessary because the transmission of head lice from inanimate objects is rare.
Step 3: Understand the Life Cycle of a Head Louse
To properly treat head lice, you need to understand your enemy. Head lice can be found in one or more of these forms:
Head lice eggs (nits) are firmly attached to the base of the hair. They may look like dandruff, but if you examine them with a magnifying glass, you can see that nits are oval-shaped and not flat.
The egg produces a nymph, which has a greyish-white color and goes through three stages before becoming an adult.
Adult head lice are tan-colored and can be seen moving quickly along the hair or across the scalp.
All three generations of head lice need to be nonviable, or dead, to get rid of head lice for good.
Step 4: Consider ‘Destruction of Habitat’
Head lice need a human host to survive. If the hair is gone, so are head lice. While cutting a child’s hair may seem like an extreme solution, it may be a viable course of action for some parents. If your child already gets short haircuts, it may make sense for you to deal with head lice by destroying their habitat.
Step 5: Learn How Over-the-Counter Head Lice Treatments Work
Your first line of defense against head lice is an over-the-counter (OTC) head lice treatment that typically comes in the form of shampoo. The main difference between various products is the active ingredient and which stages of head lice it kills. Most OTC head lice treatments don’t kill nits, so a second application may be necessary to kill the nymphs once they hatch.
Some OTC head lice treatments use pyrethrins as the active ingredient. Pyrethrins naturally occur in flowers of the Compositae (Asteraceae) family like chrysanthemums, also known as mums or chrysanths. If your child is allergic to these flowers, he or she may also be allergic to the head lice treatment that uses pyrethrins.
Step 6: Apply the Treatment as Directed
One of the reasons over-the-counter head lice treatments don’t work is because they are not used as directed. Parents may split one dose into several applications or otherwise deviate from the directions. You shouldn’t see any crawling head lice after the first treatment if you applied it correctly. If you are still seeing live crawlers, then you may have missed a step or the treatment is not effective against the type of lice your child has.
Additional Tips for Getting Rid of Head Lice
Seek Professional Help
Some parents turn to home remedies for head lice, such as tea tree oil, mayonnaise, neem oil, vinegar, saline spray and many others. These treatments are messy, time consuming and not supported by scientific evidence. If you tried an OTC head lice treatment that didn’t work and you are certain that your child didn’t get reinfested, seek professional help.
It’s possible that you are dealing with head lice that are resistant to the active ingredient in your treatment product. Consult with your pediatrician or contact a pediatric dermatologist for a prescription head lice treatment.
Don’t Obsess Over Nits
Generally, if no live crawling insects are seen three weeks after the treatment, it’s safe to assume that they are gone. Nits would have hatched by that time if they were alive. Nits and their shells may remain in the hair for some time but won’t be viable.
Many prescription head lice treatments target nits along with adult head lice. If you used a product like this, no combing is necessary unless you can’t wait to get rid of the dead shells.
Keep an Eye on Head Scratching
Unfortunately, there is no proven head lice deterrent that will prevent your child from getting head lice again. The best you can do is stay alert for suspicious head scratching. Itching is an allergic reaction to chemicals in a head louse’s saliva. Not all kids will experience itching right away, but if they have had head lice before, they are more likely to start itching sooner. Catching this behavior early and treating it will help you stop a head lice problem at its roots.
Donald and Melania Trump have been married for over two decades, enduring triumphs, challenges, and public scrutiny.
Their relationship began at a New York City event and has been a subject of fascination, with both navigating the pressures of Trump’s business empire and political life. Over time, rumors about their marriage’s stability have emerged, especially following Melania’s actions regarding her financial future and revised prenuptial agreement.
Melania, notably reserved during Trump’s presidency, has distanced herself from public life. In recent years, she renegotiated terms of her agreement, securing financial stability for herself and their son, Barron. Despite public appearances, Melania’s reluctance to engage in Trump’s campaigns fueled speculation about their relationship.
Author Michael Wolff’s book claims Melania has grown distant and even “hates” Trump, though the campaign team dismisses his claims as fiction.
David Hasselhoff has paid tribute to his former wife and fellow Baywatch star, Pamela Bach, after her passing at the age of 62. Bach was found dead at her Hollywood Hills home on March 5, with the Los Angeles Medical Examiner confirming that her death was a suicide. Bach, originally from Oklahoma, is survived by her two daughters, Hayley, 32, and Taylor, 34, whom she shared with Hasselhoff. The two were married for 17 years, from 1989 until their divorce in 2006, citing irreconcilable differences.
In his statement, Hasselhoff expressed deep sadness, thanking fans for their support and requesting privacy as the family grieves. He and Bach first met in 1985 on the set of Knight Rider and married four years later. Bach had a successful acting career, with roles in The Young and the Restless, Cheers, T.J. Hooker, and more. She had recently posted on social media about her excitement for the year ahead, expressing joy about watching her granddaughter, London, grow. Her daughter, Hayley, honored her mother with a tribute on Instagram. The family is navigating this difficult time with support from loved ones.
Sleeping through the night without interruptions is essential for feeling refreshed and productive. However, many people often wake up between 3:00 AM and 5:00 AM and struggle to fall back asleep. This pattern is not random but has both historical and physiological significance.
This period is sometimes referred to as the “hour of the wolf,” a term popularized by Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman. He described it as the time between night and dawn when sleep is deepest, nightmares feel most real, and many people pass away. Swedish folklore also associates this hour with an increased likelihood of births and deaths.
During these early morning hours, the body reaches its lowest physiological state—core temperature, blood pressure, and metabolism slow down as part of the circadian rhythm. For those prone to anxiety, this phase can intensify negative emotions, making it harder to stay asleep.
Many cultures link this timeframe to supernatural activity, often calling it the “witching hour.” Whether influenced by folklore or biological processes, waking up at this time can feel unsettling, especially for those who experience anxiety.
made history last week as she hosted the American Country Music Awards for a record-breaking 17th time, and it’s fair to say she stole her own slice of the attention.
The iconic singer was on hand to emcee the ceremony in Fresco, Texas, having performed the same duty on numerous occasions in the past, including in 2019 and as recently as last year.
Needless to say, the 69-year-old knows what she’s doing by this point, and her opening monologue more than made clear that she was going to be on top form yet again. Indeed, fans watching at home had plenty of positive things to say about Reba’s hosting skills, not to mention praise to offer as to her outfit for the event’s red carpet.
As per reports, McEntire walked the red carpet in a black sequined blazer accompanied by a pair of flared trousers by Roberto Cavalli, which featured a lace pattern. She completed her flashy look for the evening with turquoise jewelry, including a necklace and chandelier earrings.
Needless to say, Reba’s outfit drew all manner of comments online. The singer, who performed the “Star Spangled Banner” at this year’s Super Bowl, is a popular figure in the US beyond, and her fans were out in force after 2024’s ACM Awards.
“Absolutely stunning as usual Reba,” one person wrote.
Another said: “You are amazing at what you do. But it’s also important to mention how amazing you look.“
“She is one gorgeous woman,” opined a third.

And it wasn’t just her look people were left impressed by, but also her natural flair for hosting. As stated, this year’s event marked the 17th! time McEntire has hosted proceedings, while her affiliation with the ACM Awards goes back over 40 years to when she received her first gong.
It was a fact not left out by Reba, who jokingly remarked that Jelly Roll used to be the name of an after-school snack (referring to award-nominated country music artist Jelly Roll), and added that a stagecoach was how she used to get to school, as opposed to being a popular country music festival.
Fans watching the event wasted little time in expressing their opinions regarding Reba’s efforts.
“Having Reba host this year’s show is like having your favorite aunt come over for dinner,” one fan on X wrote. “She’s so sweet & you love to hear from her.”
Another added at the star “is just an absolutely incredible entertainer, country music is lucky to have her.”
“It’s always a good time and a party,” a fourth added.
A fifth labeled McEntire “the ultimate host”.
