This Is One Of The Most Powerful Videos You Will Ever See Just Make Sure You Watch It To The End
This powerful short film about adoption and abandonment is so hard-hitting that it really deserves a warning about what irresponsibility and cruelty can do to living beings. It is set to music, and is able to tell a story without any dialogue, that will stay with you forever. It tells the story of a very normal looking family who adopt an adorable little red-haired girl.
Over time she does “little girl” things like fighting with her older (not adopted) sister, spilling a drink, making messes, interrupting when parents are busy. We watch the parents get angry and less inclusive of this little girl. She grows more remote and sad, and acts out more. She has a stuffed doll whose insides she keeps pulling out. The symbolism is evident.
What happens next is the father takes her for a ride, and just when you think he is about to give her the attention she so sorely needs, the “Gift” (as the film is named) takes a very dark turn. It needs to be watched to the bitter end. I must say that I was shocked and really moved by this beautiful little film that manages, without words, to say everything there needs to be said about the responsibility of adopting both children and animals.
We live in a society that has a throw-away mentality. We have short attention spans, and often don’t have the patience nor the commitment to deal with life when it becomes difficult. This short film is truly a Gift that should be watched and watched again.

They Were In A Tiny Boat Surrounded By Hungry Great White Sharks. The Result Is Terrifying!
Some ideas are better left untested. That is the lesson a film crew received when they attempted to attach a GoPro camera to a massive six meter (about 19.5 feet) great white shark. The Discovery Channel film crew were shooting footage for a documentary called Lair of the Megashark off the coast of New Zealand’s Stewart Island. Wanting to get unique shots and a shark’s eye view, they decided to strap the hi-tech camera onto the dorsal fin of the deadly ocean predator.
Two shark experts, Jeff Kurr and Andy Casagrande, had bravely gone out in a small dinghy that was tethered by a single flimsy rope to the larger main boat. Once out on the open water things went quickly downhill. After trying unsuccessfully to attach the gadget to the shark, who was having none of it, the great white turned on them and attacked their dangerously inadequate boat.
He charges and destabilizes the small craft with his tail, causing it to lurch unsteadily in the water. Then, he breaches the surface jaws first to bite at the thin rope connecting the two boats. For a few brief seconds he is gone but he reappears to go after the bait that sits between the two boats.
During the drama one man can be heard saying “I don’t think this is such a brilliant f*****g idea you know.” Video shows the two men in the dinghy trying to stay calm and safely inside as the huge shark thrashes about dangerously upsetting it.
Soon after, the crew decided it was way too unsafe for them to be on the water, in such a small boat, while massive hungry sharks were behaving so aggressively. Thankfully, no person or shark was injured in the filming and the crew abandoned attempts to attach the GoPro. What a crazy, heart pounding, panic inducing moment that must have been!

WATCH: This Guy Reveals A Gas Station Scam That May Have Already Cost You Money
When pulling up to the gas station to fill up on fuel no one looks forward to seeing the seemingly ever increasing high prices. However, the absolute last thing that anyone wants to see is the fuel pump charging for gas when the nozzle is not yet even in the tank! That is what one man captured on video when he recently went to a Citgo station located outside of Wheeling, Illinois. Even though Kaloyan Pechevski was not pumping, or even touching the nozzle, the readout on the machine was slowly charging him a few cents that certainly add up in the long run.
Pechevski said he had prepaid cash for $25 worth and noticed that he’d been charged before he even started to fill up. To document the proof he pulled out his camera and recoded the incident and also gathered witnesses who were present. When he went to get his money back the man working explained the false charging pump, saying “sometimes it gets loose.” While we cannot be sure what he means by that statement, it does indicate that this is not the first time a pump at that Citgo station went rogue.
It is also not the first such incident to have been reported. Others have recorded videos of gas pumps continuing to charge them after they had completed, or before they started, filling up. While many times the pump charges a few cents, spread out over time and over customers, those cents add up to hundreds of dollars at just one single gas pump. News coverage and people self-reporting on the internet have led to hundreds of gas stations being investigated.
Some were found to be purposefully scamming drivers while others truly did have malfunctioning pumps. Either way, if you see this happening when you stop for gas tell the attendant, complain to the station’s corporate overseers, and call your state’s Department of Weights and Measures. They are responsible for inspecting and regulating all fuel pumps. Also, make sure to document the incident, print a receipt, and get any refund you may be owed. Gas is costly enough and no one should be scammed into paying for more than they actually received.

When The Music Begins She Gets Into The Wheel. By The End I’m Hypnotized!
Gymnastics is a popular sport worldwide and audiences love tuning in to watch gymnasts perform at the summer Olympic Games. That event is where the sport gets the most focused coverage and attention. But did you know that there is an offshoot of gymnastics that is less well known and just as beautiful, technical, and inspiring? It is called wheel gymnastics and dancers perform on, in, and all around a large wheel.
The double hooped wheel is specially designed for the sport and is known as the Rhönrad, which was named after the German mountain region where it was invented in 1925. The sport has three main categories of exercise; straight line, spiral, and vault. Gymnasts balance and spin along the wheel while doing flips and other neat tricks. You have to see it to truly understand how beautiful it is.
The athlete featured in this video is Jenny Hoffman, a dancer from Augsberg, Germany. She is a first class wheel gymnast and is shown performing at the 2011 World Championship of Wheel Gymnastics. The video gives a clear look at how much concentration, dedication and practice it takes to master the large wheel. Jenny seems to float around the floor and looks as if she were a part of it. She is at the top of her game and delivers a beautiful, seemingly flawless, routine.
What stands out most, from the video and in general, is how fun the wheel looks. Just to be able to roll around and play with it would be a good time and a novel new way to exercise. Although, Jenny makes it look so easy, so I wonder if doing even basic things on it is. Check it out!

The Bus Driver Passed Out While He Was Driving So The Kids Reacted Fast By Doing THIS!
One substitute bus driver was very lucky when he got assigned to drive a school bus route in Milton, Washington. The man was at the wheel ferrying the children to their stops when he lost consciousness. When he passed out the bus was still moving forward in gear and in danger of crashing into a church. A video camera mounted above the driver seat captured the moment and the kids quick response to the scary situation.
One boy, Jeremy Wuitschick, immediately jumped into action when he noticed the bus was careening out of control. He can be seen grabbing the wheel and turning it safely back onto the road. Then he took the key out of the ignition and stopped the bus. Meanwhile, another child began CPR on the distressed driver who was having trouble breathing. He started doing chest compressions and saw that the bus driver’s eyes were rolling back in his head. At the same time, other children on the bus had called 911, help was on the way.
Thanks to all the children on the bus who took control of the situation no one was hurt and the driver received medical attention. Even though they were only middle-school aged kids, they all showed incredible bravery and acted rational in the face of a very dangerous situation. By paying close attention and not hesitating to act, Jeremy truly did save the day. He was not even old enough to drive at that point but he proved he was mature enough to handle the situation and stop the bus.

This Guy Pours Molten Aluminum Into His Watermelon. The Result Is An Awesome Surprise!
Sometimes the most unexpected scientific experiments can produce art?! Now that winter is finally over and we are getting close to watermelon season let’s watch an awesome science experiment! “The Backyard Scientist” of YouTube fame wanted to see what would happen if he heated up aluminum and poured it into a water-melon that had been partially hollowed out. What made him come out with the idea? He was expecting an explosion.
Well, that is not what happened. The molten aluminum found its way through the watermelon through tiny channels that “connected the seed chambers to each other, and this caused this awesome casting to happen”, said the experimenter. Unintentional art was the result! Mother Nature works in mysterious ways and this watermelon experiment is no exception.
The most intricate casting occurred, which resulted in sculptures that many modern art lovers would be pleased to own. I wonder how much this would go for at the right art auction? Anyway enjoy this awesome experiment, show the kids and remember, don’t try this at home!
