Wow, When Friends See This Photo Of Newborn Son, They Get Shocked !!

Amazing Family

All parents are definitely thrilled with the birth of a baby between them. Babies are usually born bald, or with just a few strands of hair on their head. But it’s not unusual for some of them to come into this world with a full head of hair — and when they do, it usually comes as a shock to the unsuspecting parents.

Scottish mom Louise Hutchison and her partner Satty Patel welcomed their son, Ash, in 2016, and were stunned when he came with a full head of hair. A photo the parents took of him at just 2-hours-old shows the newborn’s surprising feature. At 20-weeks-old, at Christmas, Ash got his first haircut, too! His hair is continuing to grow at a surprising speed and can get so long that the parents often hear strangers comment on how adorable their little girl is.

Do you know of any babies who were born is long locks like Ash? Let us know in the comments!

You Would Not Believe If It Is Nursing Home And See Who Makes It !

You Would Not Believe If It Is Nursing Home And See Who Makes It !

Amazing

92-year-old Norma, always doing things that make loom every day. Every night around 5:30 p.m., she stood up and told the staff at her Ohio nursing home that she needed to leave. When they asked why, she said she needed to go home to take care of her mother. Her mom, of course, had long since passed away.

Behavior like Norma's is quite common for older folks suffering from Alzheimer's or other forms of dementia. Walter, another man in the same assisted living facility, demanded breakfast from the staff every night around 7:30.

Jean Makesh, CEO of Lantern assisted living facilities, says he meets folks with stories like these every day. It's their stories that inspired him to make some changes at Lantern.

"I thought I knew a lot about elderly care. The more and more time I was spending with my clients, that's when I realized, 'Oh my god, I have no clue.'"

Confusion is common in Alzheimer's patients, but Makesh knew there had to be some way to minimize these conflicts.

A big believer in the idea that our environment has an enormous effect on us, he started thinking big — and way outside the box.

"What if we design an environment that looks like outside?" he said. "What if I can have a sunrise and sunset inside the building? What if I'm able to have the moon and stars come out? What if I build a unit that takes residents back to the '30s and '40s?"

And that was just the beginning. He also researched sound therapy. And aromatherapy. And carpet that looked like grass. No idea was off-limits.

What he came up with was a truly unique memory-care facility. And after testing the concept in Lantern's Madison, Ohio, facility, Makesh is opening two new locations this year.

Instead of rooms or units, each resident gets a "home" on a quiet little indoor street reminiscent of the neighborhoods many of them grew up in.

Instead of a boring panel ceiling, residents look up and see a digital sky, which grows dimmer late in the day to help keep their biological clocks in tune.

Throughout the day, nature sounds and fresh aromas like peppermint or citrus are piped in.

Some studies have shown that this kind of aromatherapy may indeed have some merits for improving cognitive functioning in Alzheimer's patients.

For Makesh, this isn't just about making patients comfortable, though. He wants to change how we think about the endgame of severe dementia.

Makesh said one of the frustrating shortcomings of most nursing facilities is that they create conflicts with unnatural environments and schedules, and they try to solve them by throwing antipsychotic and anti-anxiety medications at patients. In other words, when someone has severe dementia, we often give up on them. From there, they stop getting the engagement their brain needs to thrive.

Of course, we're a long way from a cure for Alzheimer's.

But Makesh's project shows that when we think strategically about altering the environment and focus on helping people relearn essential self-care and hygiene skills, the near-impossible becomes possible.

"In five years, we're going to [be able to] rehabilitate our clients where they can live independently in our environment," he said. "In 10 years, we're going to be able to send them back home."

He knows it's a lofty goal. And whether he'll meet it remains to be seen. But in the meantime, he's proud to own one of the few places that offers something pretty rare in cases of severe dementia: hope.

The U.S. Has Blocked Immigrants From Coming In Before -- This Is What Happened

The U.S. Has Blocked Immigrants From Coming In Before -- This Is What Happened

Every year on January 27, the world commemorates the 11 million victims of the Holocaust with an International Day of Remembrance. Although 72 years have passed since the deadliest genocide in history, there is much people still don't know about the tragic events.

The Holocaust is, without a doubt, one of the most shameful events in human history. As a result, many people do not like to speak about it. However, as the saying goes, "Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it." With the racism and xenophobia that exists worldwide today, it's more important than ever to reflect on the devastation of the Holocaust and the lives that were lost or irrevocably changed.

Here you'll find 10 facts about the Holocaust that you probably didn't learn in school. While many are heartbreaking, others speak to the courage, perseverance, and dignity of those who lived through it or died fighting.

1. Hitler offered to let the United States, Great Britain, and 30 other countries to take in Jewish refugees, but they refused.

In 1938, President Franklin D. Roosevelt initiated the Évian Conference, bringing 32 countries together in France to discuss Hitler's increasing persecution of the Jewish people. When Hitler heard of the conference he said, "We, on our part, are ready to put all these criminals [Jews] at the disposal of these countries, for all I care, they can leave on luxury ships." Sadly, the conference failed to come to agreement. The only countries to accept an influx of immigrants were Costa Rica and the Dominican Republic.

2. A high number of both Christians and Jews were killed during the Holocaust.

Approximately three to six million Jewish people lost their lives, which equated about one-third of the total Jewish population (or more based on certain estimates). Beyond that, three million Christians who denounced the Third Reich and five million other individuals were killed as well. Many that fell into the "other" category were deemed undesirable by the Third Reich due to mental or physical illness, homosexuality, or religious beliefs.

3. Hitler planned to open a "Museum of an Extinct Race" after the war.

It's a well-known fact that Nazis seized Jewish art, literature, and more, but what they planned to do with it is beyond heinous. Sickeningly, Hitler had planned to open a "Museum of an Extinct Race," believing that Jewish culture would still be interesting to study after their eradication was complete.
