An animal sanctuary took in a blind rescue cow named Helen after she’d been living on a dairy farm for 19 years. Uncle Neil’s Home‚ a refuge for former farm animals‚ was committed to seeing her live out the rest of her days in safety and comfort. However‚ they realized there was one thing missing from Helen’s new home. She needed a friend! That’s where Margaret‚ another rescue cow‚ came in. Like Helen‚ this animal had also spent many years on a dairy farm. As soon as Margaret met the blind cow‚ the two became best buddies! Uncle Neil’s Home shared an adorable post on TikTok chronicling the pair’s friendship‚ which has over 1 million views so far. @uncleneilshome When Helen met Margaret It went as perfectly as you could have ever imagined. A match made in heaven‚ an instantaneous connection. Between them both‚ there are 36 years of dairy and at least 26 children who are‚ no doubt‚ dece@sed by now. Helen and Margaret survived because their bodies were able to continue and produce enough milk to be considered profitable and worthy‚ well into their teens. In a twisted way‚ it ultimately saved their lives‚ and how absolutely lucky are we all to have the privilege of knowing such beautiful‚ gentle souls. May their every day be filled with nothing but joy‚ fulfillment‚ and each other. We are so emotionally overwhelmed in the best way possible to be able to witness their love‚ and continue sharing their friendship with you. They are so incredibly special‚ and as we guessed from the moment we saw Margaret’s photo and began the process to take her in‚ they were meant to be… “We could tell that they were gonna be friends” #cow #cows #friendship #love ♬ original sound – Uncle Neil’s Home “They had an instantaneous connection and love each other deeply‚” wrote the sanctuary in their video. “There are 36 years of dairy between them… They are finally free‚ and will only know love from here on out.” Screengrab from TikTok Footage of the blind cow and her new BFF shows the two grazing and snuggling together outdoors. Could anything be cuter than two animal best friends who love spending time with each other? You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

It’s so cold in some places right now‚ even a bowl of ramen can become frozen solid in a matter of seconds! One TikToker known as Blonde Okie showed off the extreme temperatures outside his home by taking his lunch out to the porch. Setting it down on the snowy railing‚ he picked up a forkful and held it in mid-air. It wasn’t long before he could let go of the utensil‚ letting the frozen ramen hold it in place! “Yup it’s cold out here‚” the man joked in his caption. @blondeokie Yup it’s cold out here #blondeokie #coldweather #snowday #ramennoodles #Oklahoma ♬ original sound – Blonde Okie This experiment has actually become quite a trend on TikTok‚ what with temperatures dipping below zero lately. In many of the other videos‚ it takes well over an hour for the forkful of ramen to freeze in mid-air. Of course‚ these users didn’t actually stand outside the entire time. Instead‚ they came up with other creative ways to hold the fork in place while they stayed warm indoors! @laneyroux76 Our ramen noodle experiment in the cold today! The day started as -42C and we are rather bored so we made a frozen noodle art piece. Ignore my annoying repeat voice‚ its for science lol @Nolan LeRoux #ramen #ramennoodles #frozenramen #itchiban #ramenart #frozenart #scienceathome #polarvortex #alberta #canada_life ♬ original sound – LaneyRoux76 It’s unclear whether the ramen in Blonde Okie’s footage froze faster because they weren’t as hot to begin with‚ or because the temperatures outside were more extreme. He also never specified exactly how long it took for his noodles to freeze. Either way‚ this challenge looks like a lot of fun! Plus‚ it’s definitely safer to try at home than this one.

Author of How to Prep When You’re Broke and Bloom Where You’re Planted online course Lately‚ I’ve been hearing a lot about a device called a Lifevac. There are a few different options‚ but basically‚ it is a suction device you put over the mouth of a choking victim to remove obstructions from their airway. LifeVac kits are available for both home and travel. I was curious whether or not it was worth buying for my own medical kit‚ so I did a little research. I thought you might be interested in what I discovered. There are reports of its successful use. First things first‚ I wanted to know whether or not it works. I’m not going to drop $79 on a device that’s iffy. Obviously‚ with any medical device‚ being able to use it correctly is key‚ no matter how good it is. But‚ did people who knew how to use it find it actually useful? The report that really caught my eye was this one. Some folks were having dinner at a restaurant when a complete stranger’s baby began choking. The mother was doing everything right – she was performing the actions I have learned to do at First Aid classes (of which I have attended many‚ including some advanced courses.) As the child turned blue‚ back blows were administered‚ as well as the Heimlich Maneuver. But these efforts were to no avail. The child was unconscious as dinner guests looked on in horror. But then a stranger leapt into action. Nobody will ever convince me the guy with the LifeVac isn’t a prepper. The clip above was aired on Inside Edition‚ and it inspired another family to purchase the device. In a parallel situation‚ the father was able to save his own infant daughter from choking. According to LifeVac’s research‚ at the time of the video above‚ 31 people had been saved using the device after being motivated to buy it because of seeing it on Inside Edition. What do real-life medical personnel think of LifeVac? Of course‚ these are not “official” medical opinions – just real-life stories. I wanted to get the thoughts of medical folks on the device. Selco‚ who works as a nurse‚ said of the LifeVac: When it comes to choking on a foreign objects‚ from my experience‚ if you see a person choking‚ for example‚ while eating‚ your first step should be to let the person alone – IF the person has a cough reflex (still conscious-coughing) because the biggest percentage of choking will be solved by a person alone –with coughing‚ If the person stops coughing‚ and loses his breath (a foreign body clearly obstructing the airway completely)‚ it is time for the Heimlich maneuver. If Heimlich maneuver does not work (up to this moment person is already lost his concouisness) this device (LifeVac) could work. The most important thing with it is to keep a tight “seal” with the patient’s mouth. Otherwise‚ suction will not work‚ and the object can not be suctioned. It is one of the common mistakes with other devices‚ too (like bag valve masks‚ for example) –  losing the seal between the mask and the patient’s mouth. It is something that should be included in your car first aid kit. Pros of it are also simplicity of use‚ size‚ and lightweight. I think it seems like a good purchase based on this information. How does it work? Here’s a training video that shows how to use the LifeVac when a person is choking. My thoughts on this product I really like to test out my gear before using it. But I can’t exactly persuade my daughter to choke on something so I can LifeVac it out of her throat. So‚ much like other last-ditch techniques such as chest seals or needle decompressions‚ I have to learn all I can‚ have the gear on hand‚ and have multiple strategies to help others. I strongly‚ strongly advise you to take a course to learn the Heimlich maneuver – this is often paired with CPR training. The Heimlich is your first-line response for an adult choking victim. Back blows are your first choice for small children and babies. But if these techniques do not work‚ I think that a LifeVac is another tool in your medical arsenal. If you have small children or elderly people in your family‚ you are even more likely to have an incident of choking in which this could be lifesaving. I’ve added this to my own gear and sincerely hope I never need to use it. But if I do‚ I’ll be awfully thankful I bought it. You can get this product for use at home and also in a travel version for your car kit. If you’re just getting one unit‚ I’d likely suggest the travel version so that it can be in your go-bag as well and always on hand. What do you think? Are you familiar with the LifeVac device? Would you consider adding it to your travel kit or home medical kit? Do you know of anyone who has successfully used this? (Or unsuccessfully – we’re all about the whole story here.)

If you're tired of censorship and dystopian threats against civil liberties‚ subscribe to Reclaim The Net. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is in Davos these days for the annual World Economic Summit (WEF)‚ and his address at one of the panels has been in keeping with the meeting’s agenda(s) – but also‚ clearly‚ those recently forcefully pushed by the world organization. Among the schemes Guterres spoke about are the UN’s Global Digital Compact and the Sustainable Development Goals. The first consists of several proposals‚ including digital ID that is linked to people’s bank accounts‚ while the second‚ overarching one‚ that enjoys the support of some of the world’s most powerful countries‚ also involves digital ID‚ and UN’s “vision” of disinformation moderation (also known as censorship). Guterres said that Global Digital Compact would be a major contributor to what he called “the digital connectivity gap.” Referring to the overall project as multi-stakeholder‚ the UN chief noted that “AI” would play a role in building the public and private sector’s capability of a “networked governance model.” More data sharing seems to be at the heart of all this‚ while in order to keep control over the way “AI” is used in the future‚ Guterres and his team want to see governments and (private) tech companies work together. All these initiatives will feature at the “Summit for the Future” this coming September. One idea voiced by Guterres is to make globalist organizations – such as G20‚ international financial institutions‚ and the UN itself‚ even closer. A recent UN Policy Brief discusses the complex “pyramid” of initiatives‚ where until now something called “Our Common Agenda” (of which Global Digital Compact is one mechanism) was designed to accelerate Sustainable Development Goals. Now‚ there is also the move to bring G20 and others into this play – likened in some reports as an economy-oriented counterpart to UN’s Security Council. And the fear here becomes the effect it may have on the international banking system – and in the process‚ of people’s financial liberties. As for the Global Digital Compact‚ it looks like yet another dystopian iteration of an idea that is cropping up all over the world in different forms. With digital ID as an unavoidable component‚ it would create a centralized – therefore easily controlled – network of citizens.
