| Belarusian Family Take in Entire Family of Wolves, Raise Them as Pets Posted: 20 Aug 2014 03:49 AM PDT A Belarusian family from the village of Zacherevye, 250 kilometers north of Minsk, is raising an entire family of wolves as pets. It's been five years since the Selekhs took in a group of young wild wolves, and they've got the beasts completely domesticated now. In fact, the pet wolves' behavior is quite opposite to what people normally expect from them. Wolves are supposed to be instinctively wild, and follow a strict code of hierarchy within the pack – they are led by an alpha couple. But the Selekh wolves display none of these characteristics. They are quite a joyful lot instead, playing games and entertaining 10-year-old Alisa Selekh. They even take turns giving the girl piggyback rides through the Selekhs' front garden. |
| New York Stylist Does His Part by Giving Free Haircuts and Shaves to the Homeless Posted: 20 Aug 2014 02:13 AM PDT Mark Bustos is a New York hair stylist with a heart of gold. He spends his Sundays – his only day off from work at an upscale salon – giving free haircuts and shaves to the homeless. His heartwarming story has gone viral on Instagram, where he posts photographs of his unusual weekend escapades. Every Sunday, Mark sets out through the city in search of anyone who might need a trim or a shave. Once he spots someone who fits the description, he approaches them with a simple phrase: "I want to do something nice for you today." He then proceeds with the haircut and repeats the process for up to six different people. |
| Too Busy to Hit the Gym? This Fitness Buss Brings the Gym to You Posted: 20 Aug 2014 12:44 AM PDT If you want to stay in shape, but don't have the time to go to the gym, the Mobile Gym is the solution you’ve been looking for. It's basically a large bus filled with the latest fitness equipment, hardwood floors and air conditioners. You can find everything you need for a complete workout, and here's the best part – you don't need to go to the gym, the gym comes to you! The idea for the Mobile Gym was thought up by Adam Zickerman, founder of InForm Fitnes, a popular chain of gyms across the United States. When his customers requested a place to workout in the Hamptons, he realized that building a new gym over there wasn't feasible. But inspiration hit him and he was able to solve the problem when he ordered lunch from a food truck one afternoon. "I realized I could solve the problem by putting a gym on a truck!" said Zickerman, who is also the author of the New York Times bestseller ‘Power of 10′. "We know that people are busy and that is why we are offering this service." |
