Best friends Chris Salvatore, 31, and Norma Cook, 89, are showing the power of love and kindness. When Norma, who has leukemia, needed 24-hour care, Salvatore became her primary caretaker, moving her into his apartment and making her final months full of comfort, laughter, and companionship. Their bond proves that friendship knows no age and that human kindness can truly heal. 💛

🗣️ "That is so poor, you cannot do that. I am actually fuming with Martinelli. Honestly, I don’t know how the Liverpool players didn’t go over and absolutely whack him to be honest with you. That's disgraceful." Gary Neville absolutely ripped into Gabriel Martinelli for his awful sportsmanship during Arsenal vs Liverpool 🤬 Firstly, the Brazilian dropped the ball on Conor Bradley, who has just gone down injured. Then, he forcefully tried to shove him off the pitch, whilst the Liverpool star was lying on the floor in considerable pain, despite it being clear Bradley had suffered a really bad injury. Bradley was subsequently stretchered off in clear distress 🚑 Martinelli should be ashamed of himself 😡

🚨 U.S. Tightens Visa Rules for Nepali Citizens The U.S. Department of State has introduced stricter visa requirements for Nepali nationals by including Nepal in its “Visa Bond” pilot program. 🗓️ Effective January 21, 2026, applicants for B-1/B-2 (tourist or business) visas may be required to post a refundable security bond ranging from $5,000 to $15,000. The exact amount will be decided by U.S. consular officers during the visa interview, based on the applicant’s individual profile. 💳 The bond must be paid only through the official U.S. government platform, Pay.gov. Authorities have strongly warned applicants not to pay any third-party agents or middlemen for this requirement. ✈️ Strict Travel Restrictions Apply Under the pilot program, travelers will be allowed to enter and exit the United States only through three designated airports: John F. Kennedy International Airport (New York) Washington Dulles International Airport (Washington, D.C.) Boston Logan International Airport (Boston) ⚠️ Bond Forfeiture Rules The full bond amount will be forfeited if a traveler: Uses unauthorized ports of entry or exit Overstays their visa Violates visa conditions, including filing for asylum ✅ The bond will be fully refunded if the traveler complies with all visa terms and departs the U.S. within the authorized period via the approved airports. 🌍 This visa bond program currently applies to 38 countries, including Nepal, as part of a broader U.S. effort to address visa compliance concerns.

🚨🚨🎙️ Gary Neville on Gabriel Martinelli pushing Conor Bradley off the pitch while he was injured: "He's been stretchered off Conor Bradley and it's a sad sight because he's had injuries before.

On October 14, 1964, a powerful Olympic moment unfolded in Tokyo when a runner who finished last captured nationwide attention and a standing ovation that would echo for generations 🏟️✨ Ranatunge Karunananda of Ceylon, now Sri Lanka, lined up for the men’s 10,000 meters wearing uniform number 67. Ill, in visible pain, and running one full lap behind the leaders, he kept moving long after the race was decided. At first the crowd jeered, confused by why he would continue. But as he pushed through every agonizing step, something shifted in the stadium. What happened next became a significant milestone in Olympic history. The boos turned into silence, then applause, and finally a deafening standing ovation from 70,000 people. Karunananda crossed the finish line dead last, but he was celebrated like a champion. His perseverance represented meaningful change in how people understood victory, not as winning a medal, but as honoring effort, sacrifice, and human dignity. After the race, Karunananda explained why he refused to stop. He spoke of his young daughter back home and of a poor nation that had sacrificed to send him to the Olympics. Japan was so moved that his story, titled Uniform Number 67, was placed in elementary school textbooks and retold to millions of children, becoming a widely praised lesson in resilience and character. Decades later, his legacy sparked remarkable progress across generations. In 2016, his granddaughter arrived in Japan to study, discovering her grandfather was still remembered. Inspired by his words, she stayed, became a care worker, and committed herself to giving back, living proof that one powerful moment can create a positive impact that lasts far beyond a single race. #News #Olympics #fblifestyle

🚨Earth is being hit by a solar storm right now. NOAA has issued a Geomagnetic Storm Watch for this Friday, January 9, as Earth braces for a one-two punch of solar activity: a Coronal Hole High-Speed Stream (CH HSS) and a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). These solar events launch charged particles and magnetic fields toward our planet — and when they arrive, they can stir up brilliant auroras, disrupt satellite systems, and even cause power grid fluctuations. This storm is forecast to reach G1 on the 5-point space weather scale — considered minor, but still powerful enough to push the Northern Lights farther south than usual. If conditions hold, auroras could be visible as far south as Illinois and Oregon. CMEs are massive bursts of plasma and magnetic field ejected from the Sun’s corona. Some reach Earth in just 15–18 hours, expanding to nearly a quarter of the space between us and the Sun. When they interact with Earth’s magnetic field, they can cause stunning auroral displays — or serious technological issues. Even minor geomagnetic storms can disrupt satellite communications, interfere with GPS accuracy, and affect spacecraft electronics. In more extreme cases, they’ve been known to induce currents in power lines strong enough to damage transformers. The storm arriving this week is not expected to match the strength of the late 2025 event that lit up skies across the U.S. — but it’s another reminder that space weather isn’t science fiction. It’s happening, and it’s headed our way. 📸Credit: SDO

Will my parents come back to get me? I remember asking Officer Lewis this repeatedly. I was 5, scared and didn’t understand where my parents had gone. I just held on his sleeve like it was the only thing I trusted. No relatives came to pick me up I sat in a quiet room with a blanket, and Lewis would appear every day. He brought snacks, crayons, and a calm voice that made me feel safe. He applied to adopt me a few months later. I called him "dad" on my own before anyone else asked me to. He learned how to braid my hair, prepare my snacks, and attend every school event. At my graduation today, I looked for him the same way I did back then. I saw your smile and everything was okay again. He didnt just take me in He raised me up #family stories #graduation day #fblifestyle #AI
