New Year’s babies used to get showered with gifts and prizes, but today their fame is fleeting.

Getting laid off has long been associated with getting a fancy pink invitation to the unemployment line. Why?

UTL COMMENT:- Well this is the first piece of 'Cultural enrichment' that I actually feel enriched by!!! Good job police!!!! But guess what?? He will probably now try to sue them, some leftist lawyer will take up his cause and he will probably win a few million Euros as compensation :-(.... But it was worth it, just to hear him scream!!!! :-) SOURCE: https://old.bitchute.com/video/vUwLcUXEnqfn/

In every relationship we'll ever have, there's going to be a final conversation. Before the digital age, these interactions were usually face-to-face or over the telephone and could only be recorded in our memories. But now, just about every relationship leaves a paper trail of text messages, social media interactions, and voice messages. Sometimes the final communication is a heated breakup, and other times, it's a casual interaction shortly before a person's death.A few years ago, there was a Tumblr blog that collected these haunting final messages. The Last Message Received contains submissions of the last messages people received from ex-friends or ex-significant others as well as from deceased friends and relatives. The last post was in 2021. Here are some of the blog's most haunting posts."My good friend's dad died around Thanksgiving. Two weeks later he drank himself to death.""This is the last text I got from my mom before she died of Stage IV brain cancer at the age of 53. It left her completely paralyzed on the left side of her body, hence the typos in the texts. What she was saying was, 'You're missing music therapy.' Almost as good as Good Friday church giggles.' A few years prior to this, we went to the Good Friday service at our church. The choir was absolutely horrendous and couldn't sing whatsoever. She and I sat there, in the most serious, somber church service of all, laughing hysterically, unable to stop for the life of us. She sent me this text while she was in hospice and I was at school.""This happened a few months back. He was my best friend and my boyfriend of 7 years. He stuck with me when I fell pregnant at 16 after I was raped. He became an actual dad to my son. He was my everything. A few months before this message, things started to change, we drifted apart and he was telling my 5 year old son to lie to me about his whereabouts. One night he beat me, I ended up in hospital for a few days. He begged for forgiveness, I stayed. It happened again a few days later, he was at work when I text him. I took my son and left. This is the last text I received from him. I heard last week that he's just been sent to prison for crimes involving violence and drugs. I hope he gets the help he needs.""My dad died 6 weeks later flying the plane in this picture.""The last text he sent me. The next day I got a call from his daughter that he was still very much with his wife and I wasn't the only one he was cheating on her with.""She had sent me a message earlier asking me not to contact her anymore. I woke up to one last message. We'd dated for 3.5 years and when I came out as trans, the relationship fell apart. I still think about and miss her every day.""I sent this to my grandpa on thanksgiving. Two days later he unexpectedly had a heart attack and passed. He was my favorite person in the world and nothing has been the same since. I refuse to delete this message.""I would have fallen in love with her if distance and timing hadn't gotten in the way. I'm ignoring her because I need to let her move on."We don't always know when the last time is the last time. Moving forward, let's be sure to be honest, open, and communicative with the ones we love. This article originally appeared five years ago.

You've probably been there. You're out and about and you see something that just feels...off. "Should I step in? ... But it's not really any of my business. ... And I'm not even sure they need my help..." Our gut tells us to speak up, to ask questions, to tell someone. But often, we don't.This happened to Malyk Bonnet in 2015. The then 17-year-old from Montreal saw a strange situation, and instead of ignoring his instincts, he acted brilliantly. It may have saved a woman's life.Bonnet had been having a relatively normal day until he spotted something suspicious on his way home.He'd been waiting for the bus after a shift at the restaurant where he works when he saw a man and woman arguing. He sensed a red flag."The guy was screaming at her, the girl," Bonnet told CBC News. "He wasn't really gentle with her, and I started watching, because I thought he would hit her, so I approached them a little bit."The pair asked Bonnet if he could lend them bus fares to nearby Laval, a city about 25 miles away from downtown Montreal.Bonnet felt uneasy about what was happening. But instead of declining, he decided to get more involved. He helped the man and woman with their fares and told them he was also traveling to Laval (which was not the case)."My plan was to keep them in a public place where he wouldn't hurt her," Bonnet told Dateline NBC. "I decided to be friendly with the man and have him think I was his friend. I played my game and he seemed to trust me."After arriving in Laval, Bonnet suggested they grab a bite to eat. At the restaurant, he gave the pair $50 for food and excused himself to use the restroom. Finally having the opportunity, he called the police and told them "someone had been kidnapped." Officers arrived minutes later.What Bonnet hadn't known at the time was that police were already looking for the perpetrator and his victim.The abusive man Bonnet reported had abducted his ex-girlfriend just hours beforehand."We were looking for a 29-year-old woman who was kidnapped by her former boyfriend earlier that day," Laval police Lt. Daniel Guérin told CBC News. "We believed that man was very dangerous."Previously, the abuser spent time behind bars for assaulting his ex and sending her death threats.Bonnet told Dateline NBC that while he didn't speak with the woman after police arrived, he could see how relieved she was. "We made eye contact and she had tears in her eyes. She was really happy."Unfortunately, this type of tragic experience isn't all that rare.While this particular story unfolded in Canada—where roughly half of women have experienced at least one incident of sexual or physical violence since the age of 16—you'll find similarly alarming statistics in the U.S.1 out of 4 American women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime. What's more, female victims of homicide are far more likely than male victims to be killed by a current or former partner.Although it may seem easy to simply leave an abusive relationship in the dust, take it from some women who've been there—it's much more difficult than it seems from the outside looking in.Instead of passing judgment, you can learn more about how you can help friends and family members who may be experiencing domestic abuse.Watch Bonnet recount the story in his own words: - YouTubeBonnet has become a local hero for his selflessness."His quick actions may have saved this young woman's life," Guérin said. The officers made sure to collect money so Bonnet could be reimbursed for the bus fares and food he purchased while trying to save the victim. "He now has 500 new friends in our department."Thank you, Malyk, for reminding us that sometimes the bravest thing we can do is simply listen to our gut when it's trying to get our attention.This article originally appeared nine years ago.

At one point, the film was to be called 'The Death of Michael Corleone.'
