A toddler with Down syndrome is shown in an ad for Banana Republic’s new baby line

Lastly, businesses are doing what they need to do to show that they are welcoming.

In order to better serve their customers, fashion companies have recently moved away from the standard model of a thin white woman and toward models with more different body types. Although we are aware of this, there are still some groups that aren’t well represented, such as disabled people.

Just as Victoria’s Secret introduced their first model with Down syndrome, another company is marking an important event with the launch of their baby line.

A baby boy with Down syndrome is in the latest ads for Banana Republic.

Banana Republic, thank you for #changingthefaceofbeauty.The post was made by Changing the Face of Beauty on March 5, 2022.

The company said in a statement that the BR Baby line it just released was made with the promise of being more eco-friendly, welcoming, and open to everyone.

“We want to honor all kinds of diversity, and we thought the casting for BR Baby was a great time to do this.” We were thrilled to give this kind, lovely person his first modeling job.

 

Such a cutie!

Katie Driscoll, founder and president of Changing the Face of Beauty, an organization that works to make sure that disabled people are equally shown in the media, said that she was “thrilled” that companies were using their ads to talk to disabled people.

“Our community is often forgotten when diversity is talked about. The disability community is the world’s largest minority, and one in five families knows or loves someone with a disability.” It’s important for our future to be seen in the world we live in.

 

 

When a brand incorporates a person with a disability, I hope one day that it becomes the norm rather than something to be celebrated.

A 7-year-old boy peddling lemonade is surprised by a police officer

Traditional lemonade stands are fun for everyone. A kid eager to sell you some refreshing lemonade on a hot day is one of life’s little pleasures.

The local police officer recently contacted a little boy called Landen who was operating a lemonade stand and selling cookies near his house.

The boy’s grandmother filmed their chat and shared it on her Facebook page.

 

As the poster put it, “Just saying we are so quick to put down how BAD we get treated sometimes, but I have to say i was blessed by officer J Perez Ansonia PD.”

Police Officer Perez from the Ansonia, Connecticut, department stopped to visit with Landen and inquire about his plans for the proceeds from his lemonade stand.

Landen mentioned that he required blue sneakers for class.

 

After wrapping up their discussion, Officer Perez left.

A short time later, Officer Perez came back to the lemonade stand, this time with a pair of blue sneakers for Landen, who was then seven years old.

To put it mildly, Landen was overjoyed.

 

 

“He made my baby’s day yesterday and not only that, he made him feel like a king,” Wendelyn Narvaez said of Officer Perez.

Days later Narvaez shared a photo of Landen happily sporting his new sneakers.

Ansonia Police Chief Wayne Williams responded to Perez’s act of kindness by saying officers like Perez “are the types of officers that we are all looking to hire.”

 

 

It is so true. We often hear the bad things that police officers do, but not the good things. This was such a kind gesture.

Please share if you want to hear more stories of police officers doing good in their community.

Mom causes heated debate by putting young daughter on leash at grocery store

We all have different ideas on how children should be raised, just as we all use various techniques to do it.

Online arguments between parents can and will happen over a wide range of issues, but certain of them have shown to be particularly contentious. You are aware of the topics I’m talking about; they are those on which almost every parent has an opinion, to some extent or another.

Now, the idea of “leashing” your child—tying a lead to a harness or their wrist to keep them from escaping, running into danger, or, god forbid, being kidnapped—has in the past resulted in countless fights between parents.

Some believe it to be the same as abusing children. Others don’t think there’s anything wrong with it as long as the kids involved are eventually protected.

The topic has now come up once more after a stay-at-home mother from Los Banos, California, received online criticism for using a leash on her toddler while going to the grocery shop.

Alexis Solis, a former behavioral analysis therapist, reportedly released a video of herself and her kid after going shopping. It soon acquired popularity online, garnering over 12 million views and igniting a heated discussion in the comments section.

The mother of two girls, Solis, claims she utilizes her online presence to spread awareness of child endangerment.

She can be seen in one particular video she posted to her TikTok asking her small kid to extend her hand so she may attach a leash on it.

“I’m tired of the world being this way but I’m never tired of protecting my girls,” she captioned the clip.

“I’m okay looking like a crazy mom. As long as my babies are safe and thanks to everyone I freaking love this thing.”

As a result of the nearly 13 million views the video received, Alexis was attacked and her parenting was called into question by many.

“I hope they leash her when she’s 50,” one person wrote.

“I hate those,” another added.

In a subsequent video, Alex clarified that the leash is ideal for kids who have a tendency to run away.

She said: “I used to work with children on the spectrum. I don’t share this about myself very often, but I was an ABA therapist.

“Something that’s common with children who have autism is they do tend to elope. If you’re not familiar with what elopement is, that’s when a child tends to wander off or run away from the parent or the environment.

“Now, this can be very traumatic for both the child and the parent. I know that if I had this device when I was working with families, this would have made life so much safer.”

What do you think about Alexis’ method? Do you agree that a leash is beneficial for the child? In the comment section, please share your opinions.

This mother’s reaction to her son throwing rocks at police has shocked the world.

This mother’s reaction to her son throwing rocks at police has shocked the world.

The internet is in disbelief over this mother’s response to her son hurling rocks at police officers.
Being a good mother, or even a great one, may not always involve showing physical affection for one’s offspring in the form of hugs and kisses. Discipline and the imparting of moral values are two ways in which parents show their love for their children.

A young, masked man was among those rioting against police and throwing rocks at them in the streets of Baltimore in 2015.

A woman who had been standing nearby saw all the excitement and zeroed in on the young man like a heat-seeking missile within a minute. Even with the disguise on, she could tell it was her son.

When she finally got to him, she attempted to rip off his mask. Then she began slapping his head and giving him a severe verbal thrashing. She felt ashamed by his behavior toward law enforcement since she knew he had been taught better.

“Baltimore doesn’t need the National Guard… they need more parents like this one!” exclaimed a bystander.

At 67 years old, Debra Winger remains lovely and will always be remembered for her performances in the 1980s.

Fans all across the world wished they were the stunning Debra Winger when Naval Officer Zack Mayo took factory worker Paula into his arms and whisked her from her job in a classic love story.

For daydreaming fans, the iconic moment from the romantic classic An Officer and a Gentleman—where Richard Gere portrayed Officer Zack Mayo, the dashing hero in navy whites—became the standard for love stories.

 

Debra Winger was the envy of many because she got to work with the sexiest men in Hollywood.

Winger, 67, is still stunning today. Winger has shared pictures of herself on Instagram throughout the past few years, first with brown hair and most recently with a natural wavy gray.

As Drusilla, the younger sister of Lynda Carter’s Diana Prince/Wonder Woman, Winger made her cinematic debut in 1976’s Slumber Party ’57. This led to a part in the popular TV series Wonder Woman (1979). Winger was invited to appear more frequently, but she rejected out of fear that her role would typecast her.

There were no regrets about that choice; the emerging star would have success in the early 1980s.

 

She garnered multiple Academy and Golden Globe nominations for her work in three influential 1980s films while her career was at its peak.

She co-starred in Urban Cowboy with John Travolta in 1980. At the time, he was thrilling audiences with his smooth dance moves in Grease (1988) and Saturday Night Fever (1977). She also appeared in Officer and a Gentleman (1982) as Paula, and Terms of Endearment (1983) as Emma, a dying young woman with an overbearing mother Aurora, played by Shirley MacLaine.

Despite her enormous success, Winger took a brief vacation from acting, and, more than 40 years after her ascent to fame, rumors about her reasons for leaving are still rife.

 

These rumors frequently center on the conflicts between Winger and her co-stars.

It’s been generally stated that Winger had had enough of the gorgeous Gere on the set, despite the fact that fans couldn’t get enough of him.

The co-star who played Sgt. Emil Foley, Louis Gossett Jr., wrote a book titled “An Actor and a Gentleman,” according to an excerpt that was shown on ABC News: “The onscreen chemistry between the two of them was tremendous, but it was a different story once the camera was turned off. They were kept at a minimum distance from one another.

Gossett further alleges that Winger thought nothing of Gere’s performance and that she once referred to him as “a brick wall” in her writing. She also referred to the director of the movie, Taylor Hackford, as an “animal.”

She wasn’t just offended by the characters in the movie.

In addition, the productive MacLaine, a glamorous, quirky, and seasoned veteran, clashed with Winger, a free spirit both in real life and in her character as Emma.

Their initial encounter created the foundation for their relationship.

In an interview with People, MacLaine stated, “I was wearing all my leftover movie-star fur coats to see how my character would feel.” “There was Debra, wearing a miniskirt and combat boots…I had a “Oh my goodness” moment.

In fact, the scene turned into the wellspring of Hollywood’s most cherished rumors, according to People. Winger desired the spotlight. According to reports, one hit the other.

When they were both nominated for best actress at the Oscars, the women were then pitted against one another.

In her acceptance speech after receiving the prize, MacLaine stated, “I deserve this!”

Despite rumors, Winger maintains that she “pushed the pause button” on Hollywood for personal and not work-related reasons.

The Desert of Ghost Ships delves into the inexplicable disappearance of the Aral Sea

The Aral Sea, hidden between Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan in the heart of Central Asia, previously spread across a massive area of 26,000 square miles, proudly asserting its place as the world’s fourth-largest inland water body only three decades ago.It was a breathtaking sight that drew the attention of great conquerors like Alexander the Great, who marveled at the vastness of this ancient sea.

On the other hand, the Aral Sea is now a mere shadow of its former self, reduced to a bare fraction, a measly 10% of its original extent, and sadly divided into two lesser remains.

This extraordinary metamorphosis can be attributed to human actions, demonstrating humans’ enormous environmental impact.The Soviet government chose to reroute the waters of two rivers that initially fed the Aral Sea to irrigate enormous cotton and rice crops that prospered in the area throughout the 1960s.

They had no idea that their decision would set in motion a chain of events that would quickly unravel the magnificence of the sea. As the sea began to retreat at an alarming rate, the repercussions were quick and terrible.

By the 1980s, it had lost half of its former volume, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.Once-thriving villages that relied on plentiful fishing resources were on the verge of collapse.A depressing spectacle of rusted hulls and collapsing infrastructure replaced the vibrant ports that had once dotted the shoreline, their bustling activity quiet.

The Aral Sea, once a sign of energy, was now the site of a tragedy, garnering it the ominous moniker “Desert of Ghost Ships.”

The consequences of the Aral Sea’s disappearance extend far beyond human activity. The ecological ramifications have been profound and devastating. The seafloor exposure has resulted in the emission of harmful dust loaded with salt, insecticides, and other poisonous compounds into the atmosphere.

As a result, the region is currently dealing with several serious health challenges, including an alarming increase in cancer cases and respiratory diseases. The gradual decline of the Aral Sea has taken a terrible toll on both the population and the delicate natural balance.

Efforts to restore the Aral Sea have been made over the years, with varying degrees of success. Over the last decade, the construction of a dam on the Kazakh side of the sea has contributed to a minor increase in the water level in the northern half of the sea. On the other hand, the southern portion remains desolate, a barren wasteland with little possibility of rehabilitation.

 

The history of the Aral Sea serves as a heartbreaking reminder, a cautionary story, alerting us about the irrevocable environmental damage that human activities can cause. It serves as a reminder of our decisions’ far-reaching and long-lasting implications, pushing us to tread more wisely and responsibly on this fragile world we call home.

‘Crocodile Dundee’ star says he’s ‘held together by string’ after health issues

Paul Hogan was one of the most Hollywood’s most unexpected breakthrough stars in the 1980s: he became an overnight sensation thanks to Crocodile Dundee, the hit 1986 comedy in which he played the title role, in addition to writing its Oscar-nominated screenplay.

With many memorable scenes and quotes (“That’s not a knife. That’s a knife”) Hogan turned the character of Mick Dundee into a cultural icon, in both the US and his native Australia.

But sadly, Hogan, now 83, has been struggling with his health — and recently opened up about some medical concerns that have fans worried.

Paul Hogan: health concerns
In a new interview with the Australian TV program A Current Affair, Hogan said he had a condition called retro peritoneal fibrosis, in which a growth on his abdominal aorta pressed on his kidney.

While the problem has been treated with steroid medication, it has left his body deteriorated: he says he lost his body fat and his muscles got “thinner and thinner.”

“The treatment fixed it, but it shrunk me,” Hogan told host Tracy Grimshaw. “The muscles all shrank and the strength has come back, but it left me feeble.”

The actor said he has made some improvements, and is working to regain some of his body fat and muscle post-treatment. But he admits that, being in his 80s, he’s far past the famous physique of his younger years, saying that his son has to open jars for him and that he’s “held together by string.”

“Turning 80 is not for sissies because things start to fall apart,” he said.
