TikTok video shared by user Luz Elena gathered thousands of views and as many comments for the sweetest reason ever.

Namely, she caught a glimpse of a father walking down the street holding his young son’s arm and carrying a gray Pit Bull in his arms. She captured the video “When your priority is your dog, not the child,” initiating a discussion of whether he was right or wrong for carrying the dog instead of the child.

The boy’s mom could be seen walking behind them and pulling a child’s three-wheeled stroller or bike that was carrying a large boxed item. Some of the users joked that the boy was ‘forced’ to walk because his mom ‘has stolen’ his bike.

“No one noted the mother pushing the tricycle in the rear. Mom put something in the trike, so the child is now walking. Perhaps the dog is ill?” one person wrote. Others gave other possible explanations of why the man was carrying his large dog in his arms. “This is actually super sweet. The pavement is probably way too hot for the dogs paws so he is carrying him.”

However, most, if not all, of the comments praised the father. Many wrote that he was very devoted, responsible, and caring.

“He is (showing) a lot of empathy and responsibility for his pet and his son because he takes him by the hand. a thousand blessings,” someone wrote while another person added: “Super dad. I would have done the same. Kid has shoes on and the doggy doesn’t. It looks hot too. Plus his mom was there maybe he wanted to walk.”

So far, the cute video has been seen nearly 5 million times.

It is refreshing to see how compassionate some people are when it comes to animals and their well-being.

In certain pseudoscientific theories, particularly those related to palmistry or hand analysis, it is believed that one’s personality traits are ‘defined’ by the length of their fingers.

Personality is influenced by a complex blend of genetic, environmental, and psychological factors, and can’t be precisely determined by physical characteristics like finger length. Yet, there are those who think otherwise.

Based on a pseudoscientific concept called the “digit ratio,” particularly focusing on the ratio between the index finger (2D) and the ring finger (4D), certain aspects of person’s personality can be easily determined.

Some of the interpretations are as follows:

• Longer Ring Finger (Low 2D:4D Ratio): Having longer ring finger is often associated with people who are believed to be risk-takers, assertive, and have high self-esteem. Further, these people are believed to be competitive, ambitious, and outgoing.
• Longer Index Finger (High 2D:4D Ratio): Having longer index finger is associated with people who are compassionate, emphatic, communicative, and nurturing. These individuals tend to avoid conflicts.
• Equal Length: These individuals might display a combination of assertiveness and empathy, showing both competitive and cooperative behavior depending on the circumstances.

According to Science, the idea that finger lengths reveal significant personality characteristics comes from evolutionary biologist John Manning, now at Swansea University. His work has inspired over 1,400 studies in just over 20 years, linking finger ratios to personality, cognitive abilities, and disease risks. Some researchers have even used these ratios to speculate on the gender of ancient cave painters.

Further, the magazine writes that finger ratios emerged as a solution in the late 1950s when researchers linked prenatal testosterone to brain development and behavior. With fetal hormone sampling being risky, scientists use finger ratios as a non-invasive way to study traits influenced by prenatal hormones, like aggression and sexual orientation.

Simon Cowell has to be one of the most famous names in the music industry. Thanks to his talent and sense for business, he made millions over the years.

Had it not been for this man and his reality shows involving discovering music talents, we would have probably never heard of One Direction or Kelly Clarkson.

Simon started his career as a music producer, consultant, and scout during the 80’s, but came to public prominence in 2001 as a judge on Pop Idol. The show was a huge success, so Simon went a step further and created The X Factor and Got Talent franchises which are extremely popular in a huge number of countries throughout the world.

He was named one of the 100 most influential people in the entire world two times, in 2004 and 2010.

Over the few couple of years, the business mogul went through so much. He suffered two accidents. First, he fell off the stairs and then he injured his back severely following an electric scooter accident.

Following the scare which left him injured and forced him to undergo back surgery, the musician and producer tried to warn others of the dangers of electric bikes. “The one I had was basically a motorcycle with an electric engine when you have to wear a proper crash helmet, leathers. This thing was nuts,” he said. “I didn’t know how powerful it was before I got on it. And I fly 6-8 feet in the air and landed on my spine.”

When it comes to his personal life, what we know of this incredible man of many talents is that he is a great supporter of different charities and is a huge animal lover. Since 2013, Simon has been together with long-time girlfriend and the mother to his son, Lauren Silverman. When the world learned the two were dating, the news caused a stir because they allegedly started an affair while Lauren was still married to former husband Andrew Silverman who happened to be one of Simon’s closest friends.

In 2014, the couple welcomed son Eric.

“Meeting Lauren and becoming a dad was the most fantastic thing to happen in my life,” Cowell told Hello Magazine.

“It’s hard when you have kids at my age but it’s amazing. When you work as hard as I do, you think, ‘What’s it all going to be for at the end?’ Then somebody like him comes along and it’s all worthwhile.”

Thanks to his shows and his sense for business, Simon has made $600 million, as per Celebrity Net Worth. However, it looks like Eric won’t inherit his father’s fortune. Why, you may wonder. Well, that’s because Simon believes his son should create fortune on his own.

“I’m going to leave my money to somebody. A charity, probably — kids and dogs. I don’t believe in passing on from one generation to another,” Simon told The Mirror and added, “Your legacy has to be that hopefully you gave enough people an opportunity, so that they could do well, and you gave them your time, taught them what you know.”

Simon and Eric have a lot in common and they enjoy spending plenty of time together. According to the proud father, they both love Scooby Doo and enjoy watching Disney movies together.

”He’s the most amazing thing that ever happened to me. I adore him,” America’s Got Talent judge said.

Eric was named after Simon’s father, Eric Selig Phillip Cowell, who passed away in 1999.

Simon Cowell created an empire.

The good night sleep is crucial for proper body function. According to the School of Public Health, “sleep is essential to every process in the body, affecting our physical and mental functioning the next day, our ability to fight disease and develop immunity, and our metabolism and chronic disease risk. Sleep is truly interdisciplinary because it touches every aspect of health.”

Sleep deprivation, however, occurs more often than we think. A number of people experience problems falling asleep, a condition known as a sleep disorder or insomnia.

So what interrupts our sleep?

For one, it is definitely the stress that comes with our daily life.

We spend around 33% of our life sleeping and we should do all in our power not to throw our sleep out of its cycle.

The sleep is triggered by the hormone melatonin, the main sleep hormone which is produced by the body internally. Now since the body produces melatonin internally it is important to support the body in doing this, naturally.

What we should have in mind, is that melatonin is usually produced at around 9 p.m. because the brain gives the body signals that it is night and time for a good night sleep.

Sometimes, we disturb this process by getting exposed to bright lights during the night, such as spending time on our phones right before sleep.

Receiving these lights, we trick the brain into thinking that it is still daytime. By turning down the lights, and avoiding bright white (or blue, or green) lights at night we remind our body that it’s time to wind down.

Taking melatonin supplements gives the brain information that our body has already produced the hormone, and as a result, it won’t produce more.

In a long term, this becomes an issue because as much supplements we take, the less the body will produce it and would eventually find it hard to produce enough melatonin for us to have a quality sleep. In other words, overusing melatonin supplements can make us dependent on them.

Instead of turning to supplements when experiencing issues with our sleeping, we should use natural ingredients like herbs, flowers or other calming aids such as magnesium. This, however, doesn’t mean that we should avoid the supplements at all cause. On the contrary, they can be useful if used with caution.

For example, melatonin supplements can come in handy while travelling and changing time zones.

Certain foods have in them naturally occurring melatonin and their consumption can enhance our sleeping. Among them are pistachios, tart cherries, fatty fish, rice, goji berries, oats and mushrooms.

Waking up several times throughout the night to use the bathroom is yet another reason for sleep disturbance.

In order to completely prevent this, or at least reduce it, limit the liquids intake before going to bed.

Caffeine and alcohol intake, especially in large amounts, can affect sleep.

Having coffee after 2 pm should be avoided because the caffeine stays in our system long and keeps us awake. Alcohol on the other hand is believed to make people fall asleep faster, but it hugely impacts your REM sleep, which leads to multiple wake-ups during the night.

Lavona Solomon, a South African woman, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for kidnapping a three-day-old baby from the Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town in 1997.

The girl, who grew up believing Lavona and her husband Michael were her biological parents, was devastated over the fact that the woman who raised her was now behind bars. Not only she didn’t hold any grudges against her, but she said she loved her even more knowing that she raised her even though she wasn’t her real daughter.

This crushed the girl’s biological parents, Celeste and Morne Nurse, who longed to be with their first-born daughter whom they found 17 years after she was taken away from them.

The truth about the girl’s, Zephany Nurse, whom Lavona named Miché, true identity was only discovered after the Nurses second daughter, Cassidy, started attending the same school as Miché.

Plenty of the teachers, as well as their classmates, noticed the uncanny resemblance between the two girls.

When Cassidy first noticed Miché at the school corridor, she was stunned. Soon after, the two girls became very good friends and even joked about being sisters in another life.

It wasn’t until they took a selfie and showed it to their parents that the Nurses started questioning if Miché could be their long-lost daughter.

As soon as they learned that Miché was born on April 30, 1997, they alerted the authorities.

One day, Miché was called to the Principle’s Office. There were two social workers who told her about the case of the abducted girl some 17 years ago. As the story unfolded, they told Miché they believed she was that girl and asked for a DNA test to be done. In the meantime, she wasn’t allowed to return home to Lavorna and Michael, but was placed at a safe house until she turned 18 and could choose who to stay with.

When the DNA test results came in the following day, they revealed that Zephany and Miché were the same person. Lavorna was immediately arrested, and Michael was set free upon questioning. He was made to believe that Miché was indeed his biological daughter by his wife who faked her pregnancy after failing to conceive for years.

The reunion between Miché and her biological parents wasn’t a straightforward process. Sadly, Miché didn’t have any feelings for them but was sorry for the woman who kidnapped her.

Eventually, she accepted Celeste and Morne but never forgot the people who raised her. She still saw Michael as her father, and was heartbroken Lavorna was sentenced to prison.

In the documentary Girl, Taken, the Nurses and Miché speak of their feelings and how the truth changed their lives.

Recalling the moment he met his first-born daughter after 17 years, Morne said, “It was like ‘wow.’ I had goosebumps and even when I speak about it today now, it feels like it happened yesterday.

“And that same feeling when we did the documentary arose from down deep inside of me, it felt like that day I first met her.”

It was in the documentary that Miché confessed discovering the truth made her love Solomon even more, which surprised the Nurses.

Today, Miché is a mother herself. Morne says that his and his wife’s relationship with Miché and his granddaughter is “good.”

“I don’t think we’ll ever be where we need to be and I think it’s going to take a lot of years for us to have our daughter where we need to have her. Finding a daughter at the age of 17, it’s not an easy thing.”

The good thing is that they are working on their relationship and can picture a future together.
