Bear cub gets high on trippy honey and has a long, hard think about things

Image

Hallucinogens have the potential to expand the mind, open new dimensions and reveal the deepest secrets of an infinite cosmos – or they can turn you into an absolute mess.

This young bear cub learned the hard way that the road to spiritual enlightenment may not lie in psyche-bending substances after all.

The cub was found high as a kite in Turkey after gorging itself on a type of honey that can make animals trip balls.

She appears to have snaffled up a heavy dose of ‘mad honey’, known as ‘deli bal’ in Turkish.

The wavy substance, which is produced by rhododendrons, transformed the honey hungry bear from Winnie the Pooh into a classic Glastonbury casualty (if a little furrier).

Rescuers found her staggering around a rural part of Duzce province earlier today looking like she’d just wandered bleary-eyed out of a 1960s squat.

The bear was loaded onto the back of a truck, where she managed to get sat upright and looked like she might be having a good think about the universe and God and stuff.

That, or she was wondering how she ended up propped up next to a diesel generator and was wishing everything would just go back to normal.

Footage of the bear was shared by a Turkish government ministry, with people invited to suggest a name for the adorable space cadet.

In lieu of a chillout tent, the bear was taken to a vets and given the once over.

Officials say she’s coming down and will soon be sober enough to be released back into the wild, maybe with a new perspective on life and time and whatever.

Hero Labrador Working with North Carolina Sheriff's Office Helps Find Missing Child

"Maverick ran right up to him," Joshua Dye of the Union County Sheriff's Office in North Carolina says of the K-9's search and rescue skills

Maverick deserves all the dog treats he can eat!

The English Labrador, a K-9 with the Union County Sheriff's Office in North Carolina, used his search and rescue skills to help officers find a child reported missing by his parents, according to WBTV.

A scent was all Maverick needed to get the job done and find the boy.

"Being that there was a risk for the juvenile to be in a bad situation, we put Maverick on a scent article, the kid's blanket, and he was able to track based off that smell," Deputy Sheriff Joshua Dye told the outlet.

Dye, Maverick's handler, added, "We tracked down to a pretty busy highway, made one turn, went down another road. When the juvenile saw us coming down the road, he actually came out of the woods and came to us, and Maverick ran right up to him, and that's how we found him."

Dye said that without Maverick's keen nose and can-do attitude, the sheriff's office would've had a much harder time finding the missing boy.

"In that situation, we were out on, we tried to ping the juvenile's cell phone, and the cell phone was actually off, and we wouldn't have anywhere to start if we didn't have the dog with us," Dye shared.

He added successful rescues like this show why K-9s like Maverick are "very important" to law enforcement.

"We do a lot of training with him —every week with him — to make sure he stays sharp on what he's doing," Dye said, adding that Maverick is trained in narcotics detection, tracking, article searches, and basic obedience.

The Most Scrumptious Waffle Toppings for National Waffle Day
August 10, 2022*

• There's a waffle for everyone on this list, especially if you like sweet waffles.

National Waffle day is on August 24th, it’s coming up! Here are all the most delicious, most scrumptious waffle toppings you may never have thought of.

Butter and Peanut Butter

Image

Not only is this combination savory and delicious on toast, but on waffles? It’s even more scrumptious. The butter makes this waffle combo rich and adding peanut butter only adds to the rich, savory combination. If you like cinnamon, sprinkle some of that on as well, or liberally! Powdered sugar is also a delicious addition.

Vanilla Ice Cream and Chocolate Jimmies Image

Waffles is a breakfast food, technically, but the best part is you can make it sweet, sweet, sweet! This waffle dish is more of a dessert, but why not celebrate? Adding vanilla ice cream to the top of your waffle along with some jimmies is a sweet treat, and a fun warm waffle and cold ice cream kind of two-in-one. Want sprinkles instead? Do it. Prefer sugar crystals, those work, too. What a scrumptious and sweet waffle treat.

Peanut Butter and Chocolate

Who doesn’t like peanut butter and chocolate? It get’s all melty and warm, too, because of the waffle. Creamy peanut butter would make a drippy, delicious topping. If you wanted a little texture, chunky peanut butter would be great as well. For more texture, sprinkle large chocolate chips on top, or small ones which would melt right away, and right along with the peanut butter. Shaking some powdered sugar on top would add a little sugar and another flavor to this sweet waffle dish.

Chocolate, Coconut and Pecans

Image

Sprinkle with large chocolate chips or chunks, broken pecans and shredded coconut. It’s like an Almond Joy bar but melty and topping a warm waffle. Cream it up with some fluffy whipped cream.

Cookies and Cream Image

This has got to be one of the most scrumptious ways to eat waffles ever. beyond delicious. Take your favorite cookies, break them up, and shake some all over the top of your waffle. From there, add whip cream. Enjoy as is, or, drizzle a chocolate sauce over the top as well. It will make it pretty, if you like eating pretty food, and add a bit of chocolate to your new favorite cookies and cream waffle.

Marshmallows, Graham Crackers, and Chocolate

S’mores waffles? Let’s do it. Break up graham crackers and add mini chocolate chips, and mini marshmallows to top your waffle. If you want to have this waffle dish and celebrate National S’more’s Day, then today is the day to indulge and try it out. August 10th is National S’more’s day so why not try it on a waffle?

Marshmallows, Graham Crackers, and Fruit Topping Image

Image

Either way you make these waffles, they will taste great. If you add jelly or jam, it will add another texture and taste to go with the marshmallows and broken up graham crackers. Real fruit, such as strawberry slices or blueberries would add freshness and bright colors to the dish.

Lemon Curd and Raspberry Puree

Adding (basically) lemonade flavor with raspberries and all on top of a waffle, how heavenly? The lemon curd has a tartness, along with raspberries for additional tart and some sweetness. Together they are the perfect toppings for a waffle.

Apples, Peanuts, and Caramel Image

Caramel apples anyone? It’s almost Fall, after all. This waffle topping combo is too good. Start with a waffle, add the diced apple and cut up peanuts, and drizzle caramel to your heart’s content. This Fall take on waffles has crunchy textures along with a velvety, smooth caramel sauce.

Cinnamon Roll Waffles

Image

To be extra indulgent, first top your waffle with butter. Then add a vanilla glaze, or make an easy one with water, powdered sugar and a small splash of vanilla. Sprinkle a delicious dusting of cinnamon for flavor and looks. If you love cinnamon, and you’re making your waffles homemade, add it to the batter, too.

Which scrumptious waffles do you have to try for your next waffle breakfast, or dessert? Enjoy August 24th if you’re going to celebrate with waffles!

ARCHAEOLOGISTS UNCOVER PEARLS AND DECORATED BEADS IN NORSE SETTLEMENT

Image

Archaeologists from Antikva have uncovered pearls and decorated beads in a Norse settlement on the northern side of Seyðisfjörður, Iceland.
The early settlement of Iceland is generally believed to have begun in the second half of the 9th century AD. The reasons for the migration are uncertain, but later in the Middle Ages Icelanders themselves tended to cite civil strife or a shortage of arable land as the cause.

Antikva archaeologists found a farmstead that dates from the 10th century AD, with structures ranging from AD 940 to 1100, and later additions in AD 1160 to 1300.

Landslides deposited material on parts of the site during the 11th century AD, preserving much of the underlying archaeology and organic material. The site was further buried in ashfall from an eruption of the Öræfajökull volcano in AD 1362, an ice-covered volcano that the Norse settlers called Knappafellsjǫkull.

The area has been part of an ongoing study by the Norwegian Institute for Cultural Heritage Research (NIKU), where previous excavations have found four burial mounds.

The latest archaeological research is focused on an area where the Landnåmsboka, a 12th century text, describes Bjólfur from Voss in Norway establishing one of the first settlements in the region.

The team have uncovered pearls and jewellery, with a 10th or 11th century pearl being decorated with what appears to be the colours of the Icelandic flag, first adopted in 1915 to represent Iceland.

Archaeologists also excavated a burial mound containing human remains that was buried with a horse and deposited grave goods such as a spear, a boat seam, iron artefacts and a silver ring.

Ragnheiður Traustadóttir, an archaeologist and director of the team told RUV: “It will be interesting to put this in context with the four mounds we dug up last year. There is a unique opportunity to look at the history of Seyðisfjörður from the second half of the 10th century until the 11th century.”

Someone Thought It Was OK to Put a 60-Ton Pool on a Brooklyn Roof. NYC Says ‘NOPE'
The Department of Buildings said the pool had to come down
Image
The heat can make anyone a little crazy, especially the heat New York City had been dealing with for a number of days. But maybe don't take drastic — even dangerous — measures just to stay cool.

The New York City Department of Buildings tweeted a photo of an illegal pool that was found on the rooftop of a Williamsburg building. The department said that the 480-square-foot pool, which was not built up to code, had the capacity to hold 60 tons of water.

The building on Flushing Avenue where the pool was found is not equipped to support that kind of weight, the DOB said, hence why it was ordered to be torn down.

The department said the pool was installed without proper permits or professional construction.
Image
Footage from Wednesday afternoon showed the pool still up, but all the water had been drained.
-----------
It's almost as if, maybe, some of the laws and building codes could be based upon real world consequences and not random whim. 731 Flushing Ave near Thornton, if anyone would like to swing by - Gov

Couple's act of kindness saves disabled dogs from being put to sleep

Image

Caring for one disabled pet can be a challenge, so spare a thought for dedicated animal lovers Matthew Young and Christopher Young who have a house full of 15 sick and disabled dogs. The pair have given a home to the unwanted street dogs from all around the world, including 10 paraplegic dogs and one multiple amputee. All of the animals would otherwise have to be put down because of their complicated health problems.

It all started 10 years ago when Matthew was sent a video from Romania of a German shepherd called Leah, who was paraplegic after being hit by a car. "The minute I saw her, I wanted to help her. There was no doubt in my mind," he said.

Image

Matthew welcomed Leah into his home, and despite her being incontinent, he describes her as "the most beautiful dog in the world". "Leah taught me everything I need to know about what a disabled dog needs," he said "I had no plans to start a sanctuary but it went from there."

Since Leah’s arrival, Matthew and Christopher have cared for 30 unwanted dogs, saving them from euthanasia and giving them a loving forever home. They nicknamed their home in Slough, Berkshire, The Dogs Nobody Wants Sanctuary, and Matthew says: "Every dog in our sanctuary has a home for their entire life."

The 15 dogs currently in their care include Maffoo, who struggles with arthritis, paraplegic dogs Leah, Suzy, Temperance, Rory, Eye, DeeDee, Ash, Angel, Sam and Barnaby, Beine, who has a fear of people, and senior dog Ollie, 19, who is deaf and blind.

Christopher works as a NHS healthcare assistant, while Matthew stays home to look after their canine companions. He wakes up early to walk three or four dogs at a time, then comes back to bathe and feed them. Throughout the day, he will wash and dry their bedding and change incontinence pads around the house. "Contrary to what you’d think, it can be very peaceful here," he said. "It's organised but chaotic all at the same time."

Jaded New Yorkers: Buck naked stroller gets little attention

Image
Straphangers barely flinch as a naked man walks along the City Hall subway platform.

It’s just another day in the naked city.

New Yorkers barely flinched Thursday as a naked man wearing nothing but dress socks strolled through a Manhattan subway station and onto the street, according to new photos.

Jaded straphangers seemed unsurprised at seeing the apparently disturbed man, as he sauntered out of a No. 6 train car and onto the City Hall subway station platform at about 9 a.m.

Some didn’t even look up from their phones while others glanced at the NSFW scene and gave little reaction — either oblivious to what was happening or taking the old-fashioned New York approach by minding their own business.

The man walked out of the station and marched right up with his birthday suit toward 1 Police Plaza, where a uniformed officer was seen calling for help — and casting his eyes away.

ARCHAEOLOGIST IDENTIFIES POSITION OF ROMAN SIEGE ENGINES USED DURING ATTACK ON JERUSALEM

Image

An archaeologist from the Israel Antiques Authority has identified the position of the Roman siege engines used in the attack on Jerusalem during the Jewish–Roman wars.
The Jewish–Roman wars was a series of uprisings against the Roman Empire that started in AD 66 during the reign of Emperor Nero.

The seeds of the revolt were in response to increasing religious tensions and high taxation, leading to reprisal attacks against Roman citizens. In retaliation, the Roman Governor of Judea plundered the Second Temple and launched raids to arrest senior political and religious figures within the Jewish community.

This led to a wide-scale rebellion, resulting in the Roman officials abandoning Jerusalem to the rebels.

Nero tasked Vespasian, a Roman general (who would succeed to the role of Emperor during the “Year of the Four Emperors”) to crush the rebellion with the support of his son Titus.

Within several months, the Roman forces had conquered several major Jewish strongholds, displaced large population groups and dealt a swift punishment on the inhabitants of Judea.

Titus and his legions reached Jerusalem in AD 70, placing the city under siege for four months using several types of siege engines. The primary siege weapon was the ballista, a missile firing weapon that launched either bolts or stones over large distances. Developed from earlier Greek weapons, it relied upon different mechanics, using two levers with torsion springs instead of a tension prod (the bow part of a modern crossbow). The springs consisted of several loops of twisted skeins.

After several battles, the entire city and the Second Temple was destroyed, with contemporary historian Titus Flavius Josephus stating: “Jerusalem … was so thoroughly razed to the ground by those that demolished it to its foundations, that nothing was left that could ever persuade visitors that it had once been a place of habitation.”

Using computerised ballistic calculations based on finds found adjacent to the Jerusalem Municipality building, Israel Antiquities Authority archaeologist, Kfir Arbiv, has been able to identify the locations of the Roman siege engines used during the attack.

This was done by considering the local topography and the location of the Second Temple period city walls, in combination with ballistic calculations and the launching angle for the ballista stones found today within the ancient city.

As for the location of the Roman siege weapons, it appears that a significant number were placed in Cat Square, located around the centre of modern Jerusalem.

Arbiv’s study also indicates where the Romans may have broken into the city, as a large concentration of ballista stones can be found in the Russian Compound where the remains of the outer wall has been identified.

Penn. Woman Who Almost Became Nun Celebrates Birth of 100th Great-Grandchild Before 100th Birthday

"I'm just thinking about how lucky I am," said Marguerite Koller, who also has 11 children and 56 grandchildren

Image

A Pennsylvania woman is marking two major milestones in just a matter of months.

Marguerite Koller, of Blue Bell, recently celebrated the birth of her 100th great-grandchild, Koller William, according to NBC Philadelphia. The 99-year-old got a chance to meet the baby boy shortly before her 100th birthday.

"I'm just thinking about how lucky I am," she said while holding her newest great-grandkid, who is named after her and her late husband, William.

Marguerite has credited William with convincing her to ditch plans to become a nun.

"I actually applied when I was a junior in high school but he talked me out of it," she told ABC station WPVI-TV in 2015.

Marguerite is the mother of 11 children and has 56 grandchildren, leading to her now-100 great-grandchildren, NBC Philadelphia reported.

Originally, the new baby was supposed to be her 99th great-grandchild, but the little one claimed the special title after being born more than a week after his predicted due date.

Image

Christine Balster, Marguerite's granddaughter and mother of the 100th great-grandchild, said she and her husband Patrick wanted to honor both of her grandparents with their son's name.

"My husband liked the name Kole, and it felt very natural to name him Koller and William as the middle name," she told NBC Philadelphia.

William died in 2008, according to the 2015 report from WPVI-TV.

Baby Koller now joins multiple generations descending from his great-grandmother Marguerite, whom Christine described as a "lovely, sweet [and] strong lady."

The new mom also praised the "amazing legacy" her grandmother has built.

In WPVI-TV's 2015 report, Marguerite's family described the matriarch as "an inspiration."

"And to be the age she is and still going about it every day," said Greg Stokes, Koller's grandson, "it's unbelievable."

Fire Department Helps Celebrate 20-Year-Old's Birthday After Family Home Destroyed in 'Devastating' Blaze

Image

As a family of three in Utah prepared to celebrate a daughter's birthday, a house fire led to about $200,000 in damages. But after putting out the flames, a local fire department helped salvage the festivities.

Around 8:30 a.m. on Wednesday, the Layton City Fire Department responded to a call for the house fire, Layton Fire Marshal Douglas K. Bitton tells PEOPLE in a statement.

Upon their arrival, firefighters "could see a large column of smoke" and they "quickly knocked down flames coming out of the front door and porch." After putting out more flames at the back of the home, they then "encountered a dangerous problem when the overhead power service line for the home broke off and almost hit them."

Fortunately, for both the residents and the firefighters, no one was injured.

Image

In addition to the "devastating loss" of their home, the fire took place as the family was preparing to celebrate a daughter's special birthday.

CBS affiliate KUTV reported that the girl was turning 20.

Bitton tells PEOPLE that the girl's presents, which were in the living room, were all "consumed by fire."

After putting out the flames, fire crews remained at the scene with the family.

In addition to "retrieving a cake and bouquet of flowers from the mother's vehicle," which was not damaged in the fire, the crew then started "singing Happy Birthday."

Image

According to Bitton, the cause of the fire, which "was determined to be unintentional," was "due to an unattended cooking of a pain with oil on the stovetop."

Bitton said the mom was "preparing breakfast for the children" and then "asked the 11-year-old boy to watch while she left to a nearby store to get some items."

According to the Fire Marshal, the home suffered approximately $200,000 in damages and loss. The family of three, who have now been displaced, declined relocation services and are currently being supported by family.

"Fire Service reminds home owners to always attend your cooking processes," adds Bitton.

Man overcharged 21p by train firm in 1999 wins refund after 22-year court battle

Image

An Indian lawyer has won a 22-year court battle demanding a refund for the 21p he was overcharged on a ticket back in 1999.

Tungnath Chaturvedi, 66, was finally given the money back last week, along with two decades worth of interest – a grand total of £2.90.

He was also given the £154 fine imposed on the country’s national rail carrier.

Mr Chaturvedi said afterwards: ‘You can’t put a price on the energy and time I’ve lost fighting the case.’

He revealed he had attended more than 100 court hearings over the years and his family had repeatedly urged him to stop wasting his time.

But he added: ‘It’s not the money that matters. This was always about a fight for justice and a fight against corruption, so it was worth it.’

The incident occurred when Mr Chaturvedi, from Uttar Pradesh, was travelling from Mathura to Moradabad.

Two tickets should have cost 70 rupees, but when he handed over 100 for the pair the clerk only gave him 10 back, according to the BBC.

After his complaint fell on deaf ears, the lawyer decided to sue North East Railway (Gorakhpur) – a section of the Indian Railways – and the booking clerk in a consumer court in Mathura.

He said it took so long because of the slow pace of the Indian justice system.

Mr Chaturvedi said he hoped his example would inspire others by showing them that ‘one doesn’t need to give up even when the fight looks tough’.

Chicago students take aim at two world records with cereal box mosaic
Aug. 11, 2022 / 12:49 PM*



Aug. 11 (UPI) -- High school students in Chicago are attempting to break two Guinness World Records by creating a mosaic of the Ukrainian flag from nearly 5,000 cereal boxes.

The students, members of Chicago Children United for Ukraine, are attempting the record at the Wintrust Grand Banking Hall in Chicago.

The students began assembling the mosaic from blue and yellow cereal boxes Wednesday and the finished mosaic is scheduled to be unveiled Thursday evening.

Organizers said they are aiming to break the Guinness World Records for largest cardboard box mosaic (flag) and largest packaged product mosaic (flag). The first record currently stands at 1,499 square feet and 89.28 square inches, while the second stands at 787 square feet and 38 square inches.

The boxes of cereal used in the attempt will be donated to the Greater Chicago Food Depository. The attempt is also aiming to raise money for relief efforts in Ukraine.
