I cannot even begin to imagine cold THAT cold! Those ‘slupry’ waves are amazing! Loved all these pictures. I have never seen frozen waves before or waves with ice. It is amazing what nature produces and the beauty it brings. 🙂
The pictures of the frozen sea look absolutely amazing. Wow! Wonderful the surprises nature has for us. But it’s also frightening how quickly the weather changes.
I notice they don’t really go in depth with these kids and their often tragic endings. Many of them lived their lives in mental institutions or committed suicide. None of those kids could be considered normal, though a notable few like Oxana go on to live mostly normal lives, most still are mentally impaired. I read that quite a few of the “monkey” children were not actually raised by the monkeys but followed them around and ate the food they dropped.
I’m completely stunned after seeing the arfticle about the children who were raised by wild animals. Makes you think when you read Mthiyane lived with monkeys and was able to survive, then humans come along and take him away, he dies 10 years later in a orphanage fire…
He says “Thank you for serving me when I didn’t vote for you” A lesson for all. 🙂 Any president or government is supposed to work 100% for ALL it’s citizens, instead of the farce we see in the US and the UK I guess where opposition parties spend all their time trying to obstruct any work the elected government are doing to help the people. The result is poor legislation, poor services yet the children who occupy congress and the senate still get their fat cat salaries and pensions.
Most of the civilized world has affordable healthcare. Big whoop, That is just the candy coating for the socialist’s poison pill.
Big wow at those frozen waves! I’m gonna go ahead and say it: Global Climate change. ‘Global’ is the key word here, of course – it refers to average temperatures all over the world; which are, in fact rising and have been for quite some time. That doesn’t mean though, that local weather events, such as these powerful images present, will all follow exactly the same course – more extreme situations, such as warmer summers and colder winters are becoing more common. All in all, these local patterns make up a global scenario, which is not encouraging.
I hope they asked Mr Brown before they published his letter. The local reps around him could make life more uncomfortable than an autoimmune disease! I am sure people will now want to interview ‘Brent Nathan Brown’ etc, so I hope he is real. But here you have the crux of it – someone with a ‘pre-existing’ condition could not get any health coverage and would simply be left to die as he was unable to afford the drugs, until the ACA allowed him to get the treatment he needed.
Thank you for sharing , the 50 ways happier,healthier article is very useful for me. For me numbers 13,15,17 and 43 works! I always go to bed early, rise early and make my bed every morning. I think that inspiration and motivation go hand-in-hand & are both essential components for the success of anyone. I will try some of the other tips. That is so true! Maya’s quote.
This is very inspirational in and of itself. I checked out some of the articles and absolutely loved it. This is a great set. It’s informative and interesting. Thank you so much!
