Cape Cod restaurant closes for 'day of kindness' after customers' rude behavior

Owners of the Brewster, Mass., restaurant Apt Cape Cod closed their doors for the morning to treat their employees to a "day of kindness" after receiving verbal abuse from customers.

Owners Regina and Brandi Felt Castellano announced that they would be closed for the morning due to the "astronomical influx daily" of customers swearing, threatening to sue and making team members cry, the post said. They reminded customers that many of their employees — including the couple's two children — are young and working to pay off college.

The final straw for the owners came when a man scolded a young employee for telling him he could not order takeout because the restaurant was not open.

"This is an unacceptable way to treat any human. We decided to close for the morning because we wanted our staff to know that they have value to us, not just as employees but also as humans. Everyone should be treated with kindness and respect, no one deserves to berated."

Brandi Felt Castellano, left, and Regina Felt Castellano are the owners of Apt Cape Cod.

After the post, the restaurant received support from across the nation as other restaurant workers shared their own similar stories.

As restaurants continue to reopen and increase capacity after the devastating impact of the coronavirus pandemic, many are struggling to keep up with the rush of customers. However, the owners of Apt Cape Cod are hopeful that their actions will turn into a larger movement.

"The response not just from our own small community, but from all over the country has been humbling and overwhelmingly supportive," they said. "And now we hope that our act of kindness for our employees turns into a movement of kindness for everyone."

Scientists Capture Extremely Rare Footage Of Glass Octopus In Remote Pacific Ocean



Scientists have filmed extremely rare footage of an almost transparent deep sea creature.

On a 34-day expedition, marine bioligists found the animal in a remote corner of the Pacific Ocean.

The glass octopus is almost completely see through, and not only did the researchers see it, they managed to film it.

Before now, footage of the glass octopus has been limited, meaning scientists could only learn about the animal by studying specimens found in the guts of predators.

Falkor, a Schmidt Ocean Institute research vessel, took the scientists to the Phoenix Islands Archipelago, where they were doing a high-resolution map of the sea floor.

Expedition Chief Scientist Dr. Randi Rotjan, of Boston University, said: "It has been very inspiring to help document the biodiversity of unexplored seamounts on the high seas and in U.S. waters.

"We're at the beginning of the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, so now is the time to think about conservation broadly across all oceanscapes, and the maps, footage, and data we have collected will hopefully help to inform policy and management in decision making around new high seas protected areas."

Wendy Schmidt, co-founder of Schmidt Ocean Institute said: "The Ocean holds wonders and promises we haven't even imagined, much less discovered.

"Expeditions like these teach us why we need to increase our efforts to restore and better understand marine ecosystems everywhere-because the great chain of life that begins in the ocean is critical for human health and wellbeing."

The glass octopus is almost completely see through, except for its eye balls, optic nerve and digestive tract.

While down there, researchers also saw a whale shark - an ancient deep-water species that dates back millions of years and whose name comes from its length of more than 40 feet.

The press release continues: "During the expedition, scientists also noted unique marine behaviors, including crab stealing fish from one another.

"The science team completed the first comprehensive survey of coral and sponge predation in the world, to investigate how corals respond to grazing scars and wounding.

"The team conducted a series of novel experiments onboard the ship to determine how corals and sponge immune systems react to over 15 different microbial stimuli.

"Through this work, the team generated the largest deep-water microbial culture collection from the Central Pacific ocean."

Dr. Tim Shank, biologist at the Woods HoIe Oceanographic Institution said: "The coverage of this expedition was remarkable-we found changes in species across depth and geography around the Pacific equator and in the suite of organisms living on corals.

"Looking into these deep-sea communities has altered the way we think about how organisms live and interact on seamounts and how they maintain diversity of life in the deep ocean."

Texas Mom Gives Birth to Baby in Gas Station Bathroom: 'I Couldn't Believe It'

Kaitlyn Fullerton did not expect to welcome her second child when her husband pulled over so she could use the restroom at a Pilot Gas Station in Beasley



A road trip home took an unexpected turn for one mom when she gave birth to her second child in a gas station during a bathroom break.

Kaitlyn Fullerton and her husband Sergio Mancera were driving from Houston to their home in Victoria on Sunday when the unbelievable moment occurred, according to Fox affiliate KRIV.

At one point in their trip, Fullerton, 22, told her husband that she needed to use the restroom, so he pulled over into a Pilot Gas Station in Beasley.

"I started feeling a lot of pressure down there. Like, it was really uncomfortable," Fullerton, who was nine months pregnant at the time, recalled to KRIV.

As Mancera waited in the car with their 3-year-old son Nikolai, Fullerton made her way into the bathroom stall — and was shocked by the events that followed.

"I kept on feeling like a water pressure... because whenever I stood up, my water broke," she explained to ABC affiliate KTRK.

It was then that Fullerton started praying. "My God, please don't let me have this baby in this restroom," she recalled saying to KRIV.

But Fullerton's baby had other ideas, and it wasn't long before the newborn made his entrance into the world.

"I was standing up the whole time," Fullerton, who works as a licensed vocational nurse, told KRIV. "I felt the head and then he just came right out and I like grabbed him. I was holding him right here close to me and that's when somebody outside the restroom was like, 'Do you need help?'"

That person ultimately helped flag down Mancera in the parking lot and tell him what had occurred, according to the outlet. Upon hearing the news, the new father of two was completely shocked.

"I looked up, saw a woman saying, 'Hey, your wife just gave birth,' and I was like, 'What!?'" he recalled to KRIV.

"I couldn't believe it," he noted to KTRK.

Mancera and their son quickly made their way into the gas station, where he began recording his wife holding their new son, Callihan, in a towel. The video was later posted to TikTok, where it garnered millions of views, KTRK reported.

"It's crazy to think she gave birth in the restroom," Mancera told KRIV. "Once I got to the restroom, she was over there all happy, smiling at me, like nothing happened."

"She's a strong one right there. She did a great job," he continued.

Following their son's unexpected arrival, Fullerton and baby Callihan were transported to a hospital, where they stayed until Tuesday, according to KRIV.

"Afterwards I didn't feel any pain at all, except I still felt the contractions because I didn't deliver my placenta until I got to the hospital," Fullerton explain to the outlet. "That's when it started to hurt. Delivering the placenta hurt more than delivering the baby."

Today, the family of four is all home and healthy — and counting their blessings for their newest bundle of joy, who weighed 7 pounds and 3 ounces, KRIV reported.

"His middle name is Eliseo and it means God is my salvation," Fullerton told the outlet of her son.

"It's just really a miracle. Yeah, it was like a miracle," the couple added. "It's like God was right there really watching over us."

Cutting edge robot who can 'read emotions' keeps getting fired from jobs



People who are concerned that robots might soon take their jobs can rest easy for now.

Humanoid robot Pepper, made by Japanese company SoftBank Group Corp., has been sacked from at least half a dozen jobs.

Production of the artifically-intelligent robot, introduced in 2014, "paused for a while" last month due to low demand.

The company announced that it would only start making the robot again "when it is needed", it said. According to Reuters, only 27,000 units were ever made.

Scottish grocery chain Margiotta installed a Pepper in their flagship Edinburgh store, but it turned out to be not very helpful, advising customers to look "in the alcohol section" when they asked where things were.

"We thought a robot was a great addition to show the customers that we are always wanting to do something new and exciting," Elena Margiotta said, but it didn't work out that way. The robot lasted a few months before getting the sack.

Pepper wasn't without its fans though – one staff member reportedly cried when they had to pack the robot back in its box.

Funeral company Nissei Eco Co bought one of the £1,500 robots to read out appropriate scriptures during services. Unfortunately, Pepper repeatedly failed to perform during practice runs.

"What if it refused to operate in the middle of a ceremony?" manager Osamu Funaki said to the Washington Post.

"It would be such a disaster."



A Japanese nursing-home company also purchased three Pepper androids, hoping they would keep residents company and lead group sing-songs.

At first, the nursing home residents were delighted to meet their new robotic carer, but the novelty soon wore off. Masataka Iida, an executive at the homes’ parent company Ittokai, said that the robot also took "unplanned breaks" at work.

After three years, Pepper got the push.

The SoftBank Hawks, a professional baseball team belonging to Pepper’s manufacturers, took delivery of 100 robot cheerleaders to entertain crowds during their games.

But the sight of the massed androids wasn’t as much fun for supporters as expected.

"It reminded me of a military parade in North Korea or China," baseball fan Hirofumi Miyato said.

He added that "it felt creepy".

Softbank spokeswoman Ai Kitamura said Pepper is still doing good work in schools and hospitals

Robotics expert Prof Noel Sharkey told the BBC he would be happy to see the back of Pepper.

"Pepper did a lot to harm genuine robotics research by giving an often false impression of a bright cognitive being that could hold conversations," he said.

"It was mostly remote-controlled with a human conversing through its speakers.

"Deceiving the public in this way is dangerous and gives the wrong impression of the capabilities of AI in the real world."

Medieval coin brooch found in Norfolk 'was not worn by peasant'



A medieval brooch made from a French coin and found in a Norfolk field "was not worn by a peasant", an expert said.

The gilded silver jewellery, made from a gros tournois from Louis IX's reign, was found in the Wymondham area.

Dr Adrian Marsden said the style of brooch was fashionable between the 11th and 14th Centuries.

As the coin was worth more than a day's wages, it showed "someone reasonably well off dropped it", he said.

The brooch, made from a coin struck between 1266 and1270, and measuring 25.6mm (one inch) in diameter, was found by a metal detectorist in September.

It was thought it was turned into jewellery not long after being struck, as the peak of the fashion for coin jewellery was between 1250 and 1300, and its popularity declined in the early 1400s.



Dr Marsden, a numismatist with the Norfolk Historic Environment Service, said the English penny was "rather small" and not as popular.

"To get a decent brooch, many silver coins were imported from the continent... many were the gros tournois from France - if you wanted it to be more eye-catching," he said.

"We find a few [in Norfolk] but not many," Dr Marsden said, and "they don't turn up as coin finds, so it looks like most were used as jewellery".

"It is significant more as an item which shows what people were wearing and how a foreign coin was pressed into function," he said.

"What it really shows is that someone reasonably well-off dropped it.

"This is [worth] a good couple of days' wages, which is a reasonable sum, so not something a peasant would have worn.

"But I regard everything that turns up as a jigsaw and every field in Norfolk is part of that jigsaw.

"Every object found is really telling us a story."

July 15 (UPI) -- Spice company McCormick will pay a taco lover $100,000 over four months to innovate new seasoning mixes and dig deep into all things taco.

"Do you eat tacos like it's your true calling?" McCormick questions in an overview of the job description. "Now it really can be. McCormick is on the lookout for its first ever director of taco relations and we're calling all taco fanatics to submit."

The director of taco relations will keep taps on social media, taste test and consult on recipes, and travel across the country to search for the latest trends over a four-month-period, according to McCormick's post.

Payment is $25,000 per month and requires availability to work up to 20 hours per week, remotely, from September to December.

Interested applicants can submit a creative video no longer than two minutes "showcasing their personality and passion for tacos," and why they're the best fit for the job, the post states.

The deadline to submit an application is Tuesday by 11:59 p.m. EDT.

Shocking photos show lightning striking near Florida beach

CLEARWATER, Fla. – A beautiful beach day in Florida can quickly go south when storms strike out of nowhere, which is exactly what happened Wednesday in Clearwater.

The Clearwater Police Department posted a set of pictures to its Facebook page showing lightning striking again and again near the sand and water. In one shot, the strike was so close it could be seen reflected in a puddle on the sand near chairs where beachgoers would normally be lounging.

Commenters were quick to criticize those who didn’t take the risk seriously.

“It’s not like the lightning is different at the beach, the tourist excuse is lame, you can get struck by lightning in the mountains or your backyard in Pennsylvania,” one man wrote.

Several others thanked officers for teaching the public not to mess with Mother Nature.

“Thank you Clearwater PD for yet again putting your life at risk to save others…. Even those lacking common sense,” a woman commented.

LEGO Unveils First Brick Prototype Made from Recycled Plastic –Watch Their ‘Clutch Strength’ and Smash Testing



LEGO recently announced they now have a prototype brick made from recycled plastic that lives up to company standards for the iconic building toy.

The new prototype uses PET plastic from discarded bottles, yet it meets all the company’s strict quality and safety requirements.

A team of more than 150 scientists and engineers are working to find sustainable solutions for LEGO products. Over the past three years, they’ve tested over 250 variations of PET materials and hundreds of other formulations. The result is a brick that meets several play requirements—including clutch power. (See video below showing their testing fun.)

“We are super excited about this breakthrough,” says the Vice President of Environmental Responsibility at LEGO, Tim Brooks. “The biggest challenge on our sustainability journey is rethinking and innovating new materials that are as durable, strong and high quality as our existing bricks—and fit with LEGO elements made over the past 60 years.”

However, it will be some time before bricks made from a recycled material appear in stores. The next phase of testing is expected to take at least a year, but they do have a patent pending on the material formulation which “increases the durability of PET to make it strong enough for LEGO bricks.”

“Even though it will be a while before they will be able to play with bricks made from recycled plastic, we want to let kids know we’re working on it and bring them along on the journey with us.” says Brooks. “Experimentation and failing is an important part of learning and innovation. Just as kids build, unbuild and rebuild with LEGO bricks at home, we’re doing the same in our lab.”

The prototype is made from recycled PET sourced from suppliers in the United States that use US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and European Food Safety Authority approved processes to ensure quality. On average, a one-liter plastic PET bottle provides enough raw material for ten small LEGO bricks.

In 2020, the company announced it will begin removing single-use plastic from its boxes. And, the company said it will invest up to US $400 million over three years to 2022 to accelerate its sustainability ambitions.

A new jet ski tour company just opened up at Ontario Place and it is the first legal company operating in Toronto waters.

There are jet ski and many other boating rental options in the city but 416Navy Jet Ski Tours is the only one to offer a legal guided tour in Toronto, says Shawn Cooper, who goes by Cooper S. and operates the company with Ryan Nickel and Katrina Nickel.

About a year in the making, it took a while to secure permits from PortsToronto to operate legally in Toronto waters with proper insurance, Cooper says.

"You need a special licence to operate here outside of your boating licence," Cooper says.

Jessica Pellerin, a spokesperson for PortsToronto, confirmed that 416Navy has a Harbour Master's authorisation from PortsToronto to operate jet ski tours from Ontario Place.

She added that jet ski operators must also hold a Transport Canada Pleasure Craft Operator's Card and a PortsToronto Powered Vessel Operator's permit while operating within PortsToronto's jurisdiction — from the Humber River to the Eastern Beaches.

Another hurdle in starting the company was getting jet skis, which was difficult in the pandemic as the demand is high.

"We had to buy all our Sea-Doos in December, January and we barely got our inventory."

They were able to get four Sea-Doos and four more are coming. They also secured the permits and a space at Ontario Place, and are starting a waitlist for tours.

"For the first time you can legally try a jet ski in Toronto," he says.

The tours help people safely navigate Toronto waters, which can get difficult with ferries and ships, and respect other boaters. The tour leaders will also be there if someone falls off the jet ski.

"It is a lot safer environment in that we have qualified experts that are always with people just giving them the best experience," Cooper says.

Cooper has a background in concert and experience promotions. He launched and sold several tech companies including a web hosting provider for the music industry, an online concert ticketing company, and a tech company called Volu.me with Ryan.

He sees jet ski business as another challenge and a chance to offer people a chance to try a jet ski experience.

"It was obvious people wanted to do this."

The price is not cheap, at $199 plus tax, but that covers the safety briefing, permits, insurance and about 45-minute guided tour.

They installed their own dock on the West Island of Ontario Place near Bridge 6.

What's six figures amongst friends?

First unveiled in 2018 at CES, LG is finally bringing its futuristic, rollable LG Signature OLED R 65-inch 4K TV to the US for the hefty sum of $100,000.

According to LG's website, the television has an OLED screen, a Dolby Atmos and Sound Pro sound system and has both Google Assistant and Amazon's Alexa for built-in voice control.

The 65-inch screen, which is described as a 'revolutionary new experience,' gets tucked into aluminum housing unit when not in use, either for watching movies or playing video games.

The cabinet also has a Dolby Atmos sound system of its own.

Manufactured in LG's Gumi facility, each TV is painstakingly assembled 'with craftsman-like skill with attention to every detail', LG said last year.

By comparison, the average price of a 4K TV can be purchased for less than $1,000, depending upon retailer.

The TV's OLED (organic light remitting diode) screen features self-lit pixel technology, meaning each pixel in the TV works independently to emit its own light.

In addition to rolling down, the TV has a mode where it is partially rolled down, which can be used to show a clock, photos and other tasks.

It also comes with a 120Hz 4K gaming, a variable refresh rate and four HDMI ports to plug in other items, such as a gaming console.

The TV allows owners to 'curate their living environment without having to permanently set aside space for a large, black screen that is only useful when turned on,' LG said in a statement.

Viewers can choose from three modes – full view, line view and and zero view.

Those who plunk down the $100,000 for the TV also get four choices of covering – 'signature black', 'moon grey', 'topaz blue' or 'toffee brown,' if a TV that costs the same as a BMW Series 5 isn't ostentatious enough.

Initially available in South Korea, Park Hyoung-sei, president of LG Home Entertainment Company, said in 2020 that the television 'genuinely deserves to be called a work of art.'

'This is a true luxury product that reimagines what television can be, this unique TV delivers a differentiated user experience and a new way of thinking about space while once again confirming LG's leadership in the premium TV market,' Hyoung-sei added at the time.

An LG spokesman told DailyMail.com the OLED R TV set is now available for purchase.


WHY ARE OLED SCREENS CONSIDERED TOP OF THE LINE?
OLED is an improvement on LED technology. LED TV uses backlights. But with OLED there’s no backlight. LG OLED screen technology uses self-lit pixels which work independently to emit their own light
+4

OLED, or organic light-emitting diodes, works by putting electricity through certain materials that glow red, green and blue.

It is the only TV technology to create color like this. LCDs, for instance, use color filters and liquid crystals that block light to create an image.

Meanwhile, plasmas use UV light by triggering pockets of gas that create red, green and blue phosphors.

This means that OLEDs can be thinner and more flexible than any other television technology currently on the market.

LG says: 'If you're watching a film with a typical LED TV, black is not dark enough and the details of the night scenes are not clear enough.

'This is because LED TVs cannot achieve perfect blacks, creating an imprecise level of darkening which results in a halo effect around brightly lit objects on dark background.

'LG OLED TVs create the richest, deepest shades of black. Night battle scenes are detailed and realistic. Flares blazing against a black sky. Dense woodland packed with detail.'

LED TV uses backlights. But with OLED there’s no backlight. LG OLED screen technology uses self-lit pixels which work independently to emit their own light.

Superintendent Caught Pooping On School Track

A New Jersey Superintendent was found to be the mystery pooper who was defecating on the track around the football field



On Monday, April 30th, 42-year-old Thomas Tramaglini, the superintendent of Kenilworth Public Schools in Holmdel, New Jersey, was found to be the mystery pooper who was caught by surveillance video as he was committing the crime at Holmdel High School’s football field.

Track coaches and staff at Holmdel High School’s complained that human feces was being discovered on the track and the football field on a daily basis. The school employees were shocked that their school grounds had been struck by a 'mystery pooper', to combat this wrongdoing, the school had set up surveillance cameras to catch the pooper in the act.

The surveillance cameras revealed the mystery pooper to be no other than the Superintendent of the school. Tramaglini was arrested at 5.50 am whilst he was running on the athletic fields.

Thomas Tramaglini was charged with lewdness, littering and defecating in public.

As he has not been indicted or faces tenure charges, Tramaglini was able to take a paid leave of absence from his $147,504 a year job.

LGBTQ Characters Got More Movie Screen Time In 2020, GLAAD Study Finds



LGBTQ characters took up a little more space in the movies in 2020. According to GLAAD's annual Studio Responsibility Index, there was an increase in the percentage of films with LBGTQ characters. A good portion of these were serious, substantial characters, too — 80% of these movies had LGBTQ characters with more than 10 minutes of screen time. The group found that the percentage of LGBTQ characters of color also rose.

These numbers show a positive trend when it comes to LGBTQ representation in film, but there is, of course, a huge grain of salt: The pandemic shook the movie industry, affecting theatrical distribution. So the 2020 study only looks at 44 films, compared with the previous year's 118. And as such, the group decided to do away with its usual 5-star grading scale this year.

Characters are marked as LGBTQ by the study based on what is presented on screen along, or through a "wide and commonly held cultural knowledge of a real-life figure." For instance, Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) clearly presented the character Renee Montoya as an out lesbian with an ex-girlfriend. On the other hand, the coffee-shop boss Gail in Promising Young Woman, played by transgender actress Laverne Cox, didn't count, as there was "no indication that the character of Gail is transgender, though she very well could be."

Overall the report noted that the audience is changing fast, citing a Gallup Poll showing 15.9% of Generation Z Americans identified as LGBT. If studios and production companies wish to remain relevant, "they need to be prepared for this group," Ellis said.

Australian Man Castrated Two Volunteers in Illegal Surgery
POSTED BY ILE KAUPPILA



How nice of him to freeze the results of his work so cops could use them as evidence.
What do you need to carry out a successful surgery? A sterile environment, a professional surgeon with years of experience, and a hospital for all the aftercare, right?

Nah, that’s just hoity-toity pointless luxury. At least if you ask the Australian man who performed two castrations in his backyard.


Ryan Andrew King, from Brisbane, was charged in September 2020 with two counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent to maim. He snipped off two men’s genitals during an illegal surgery in 2019 and 2020.

And he filmed the whole process and uploaded the footage to the internet. Because hey, why not?

But, in a surprise twist, Judge Richard Jones gave King a suspended sentence on July 16 and released him on probation. Judge Jones quoted both King’s guilty plea expressing “remorse” and positive impact statements from his…

Can we say “patients?” Or should we say “victims?”

What makes this case particularly weird is that King didn’t do anything that he wasn’t asked to do. Both of his… You know what, we’re going to stick with “victims.”

Anyway, both of his victims sought King’s operation out of their own free will.
