Husky Spent His Whole Life Neglected and Chained. Now Watch When He Runs Free For The First Time.
image via – rumble.com
Being ENSLAVED and unable to move by being CHAINED is anyone’s worst nightmare. The freedom to move and enjoy nature and choice, is no different for animals than it is for human beings. It is beyond my comprehension that human beings have the capacity to perpetrate unspeakable cruelty to each other and to the animal kingdom.
This is the story of Biscuit, a beautiful Husky, who was found chained next to his dead brother who froze to death due to neglect. Thankfully, Biscuit was found before his life came to such a tragic ending. Dogs who have been chained their whole lives can have tremendous difficulty adjusting to freedom. Building trust with humans comes slowly, and must be done gradually.
Biscuit was rescued from a piece of property owned by the professional football player Michael Vick, who would fight the dogs to make money. Thankfully, his horrendous actions were discovered and stopped, and this open natural space is now being put to good use. Rehabilitation by “Good Newz Rehab for Chained and Penned Dogs”, is helping dogs like Biscuit to learn to trust again, be socialized, and live out their lives in freedom. The VIDEO you are about to watch below shows the moment that Biscuit was unchained and able to run free, experiencing the earth and grass under his feet for the first time. Watching him romp around experiencing liberation is breathtaking and beautiful to behold.

Have You Noticed A Guy Walking Around With Only 1 Finger Nail Polished?
image via – youtube.com
If you see a man with one of his nails polished, it isn’t some trendy new style. Rather, it has deep significance that is raising awareness and money, to battle sexual violence committed against children. The one out of five polished nails which men are encouraged to do for a week at a time, is symbolic of the 1 in 5 children who will be victimized by sex crimes in the course of their lives.
This idea came to YGAP’S Elliot Costello, who came to Cambodia from his native Australia with Hagar International. It was there, that his life was changed forever, after he met a little girl named Thea. She trusted him enough to confide her dark and disturbing secret of the sexual abuse she had endured by a man, from age 8 to 10. As they spoke she asked if she could polish his nails; after doing so he swore to her that he would always keep one of his nails polished to honor and remember her.
Elliot learned that 96% of sexual violence against children are perpetrated by men, which gave birth to a movement he established, called Polished Man. His goal was to get men to not only spread the word and become activists against childhood sexual violence, but to raise awareness and begin the conversation with the one polished nail. His hope was to counteract male sexual violence with positive male role models who would fight for children’s rights, raise money to help survivors, and create a community led by men to change and challenge “violent behavior and language, both locally and globally.”
In the VIDEO you are about to watch below, Costello describes his moving experience with Thea, who inspired him to start this campaign through which he is determined to help to protect children worldwide. Let us know your thoughts about what it means to be a “Polished Man”.

Adorable Puppy Thinks His Human Is Crying, So To Make Him Feel Better He Throws a Hysterical Fit
image via – youtube.com
Dogs seem to understand humans and connect with us on a deeper, more complex level than all other animals are able to. They can sense our feelings or whatever emotions we may be going through and often respond to them in some sort of adorable way.
Oftentimes when you cry around a dog they’ll wag their tails, lick your hand sheepishly, nuzzle you, or cry along with you in order to try and cheer you up. Dogs are simply always there for you no matter what, and just like how we want the best for them, they want the best for us. That’s what seems to be the case with this adorable black lab/pit bull puppy in the accompanying video.
Redditor dEdzilla shared a short and totally sweet clip of his puppy dog crying and you can’t help but fall in love with the little guy! The pair were relaxing at home and appeared to be quite cozy and all snuggled up together in bed. While his puppy was napping, dEdzilla was surfing the web and watching videos on his iPad.
When he came across a short clip titled “Best Cry Ever,” which features a man crying out in anguish on the A&E show Intervention, his puppy suddenly woke up. Alerted to the poor man’s pain, the sweet little guy starting howling and crying along with him!! It’s like the dog was commiserating with the man or trying to ease his pain and suffering, and it all goes to show that dogs really are man’s best friend.

Rare Black Moon Rising In Scorpio: Prepare For a Huge Energy Shift On September 30, 2016
image via – shutterstock.com
A special and rare lunar event will be taking place this weekend and right along with it a major shift will also be occurring. On Friday night, September 30th, a new moon will rise in the sky, the second one to fall in September as the last one occurred back on the first of the month. Whenever this happens, two new moons within one single month, the second one is called a Black Moon.
Lunar events like Black Moons are quite rare. In fact, saying that they happen “once in a blue moon” wouldn’t be wrong! They are very similar to Blue Moons, which is when two full moons occur within one month, and so they are polar opposites in terms of moon phases. Furthermore, both Black and Blue Moons occur about once every 32 months or so, meaning years may pass before the next one comes along.
Since new moons are essentially the first phase of the moon and are not visible, you won’t be able to see the Black Moon. Nevertheless it will be up there in the heavens exerting a powerful force upon our planet and our lives. The cosmic shift in energy that the Black Moon ushers in will end up affecting us all in one way or another. Astrologically speaking, new moons are times for new beginnings and starting over. They also offer us the perfect time to tap into our natural instincts and so during new moons you should always go with what your gut is telling you. However, Black Moons differ from regular new moons in that they magnify and intensify all of the energies, emotions, changes, and feelings that are swirling about in your life. This Black Moon’s burst of energy may affect you in any or all of the following ways:
In the days both preceding and following the new moon there will be opportunities made available to many of us which will be beneficial in nature. If you seize these open possibilities the impact from them will result in peacefulness and understanding. You will gain clarity and find a new sense of hope or meaning within your life that will drive you forward and, in a sense, re-awaken you to further opportunities.
Some people will see a spike in their creativity. They will be inspired by the changes in the energies all around them and will be able to tap into it unconsciously and use it to their advantage. Regardless of what you are involved in, whether you’re a writer, painter, designer, etc, this will be a time when things start to come together. New directions will be taken and ideas will flow together.
Some of us will finally be able to move on and forward in our lives. If you have been stuck in a rut lately or bogged down in some type of way, the Black Moon energy will help you conquer your fears or whatever it is that may be holding you back. This is the ideal time to work through your troubles and issues because the clarity that accompanies this new moon shift is focused on starting over and new beginnings.
For some people, the Black Moon will make them feel overwhelmed, but they need not feel this way. If you start to feel weak or insecure you can reverse this negativity by immediately switching gears. Readjust your thinking as soon as you notice those feelings creeping up on you and the accompanying confusion will clear out.
Overall, the vibrational shift in energy marked by the September Black Moon will be positive. If you go with the flow and connect with this energy it will be greatly beneficial in more ways than one, as it will help you to find balance and awareness in your life.

5 All Natural Ways To Get Rid Of Your Sciatica and Lower Back Pain Without Surgery Or Pain Pills
image via – shutterstock.com
Sciatica is a painful and debilitating nerve condition that can flare up at any moment. If you’ve ever had to suffer through episodes of it, you know how absolutely miserable the severe nerve pain can truly be. Everyday activities can become extremely hard and painful to do, and after experiencing it for awhile your quality of life quickly begins to suffer and diminish. It ends up affecting not only your body, but also your mind and spirit.
While there are several causes and variations of sciatica, the medical condition is commonly known as general back pain which originates in the lower spine or buttocks area. This pain then radiates outwards, traveling through the lower body area and down either one or both legs. Sciatica got its name because it stems directly from the pinching, pressure, and irritation of the nerves which link the spinal cord to the sciatic nerves. Whenever this area becomes aggravated or inflamed the intense, shooting pain that’s associated with sciatica is what results from it.
For many people the pain is moderate to severe, but for some it’s excruciating, to the point that it becomes intolerable. Common reactions and movements including sneezing, coughing, getting up, sitting down, rolling over in bed, and simply walking, are no longer simple to do. They result in additional pressure and strain on the lower back area which then stresses the nerves and causes that radiating pain to flare up. Many report that one of the worst parts about it is how unpredictable and out of the blue the onset of the pain can be, it’s almost like a knee-jerk reaction.
There are a number of ways to treat sciatica that range from medications to lifestyle adjustments, but the focus here is on the best all-natural ways to reduce and manage sciatic pain. One thing that helps is staying active and maintaining a strong core, which helps to prevent future episodes. Also, getting plenty of sleep helps greatly because it gives your body a chance to rebuild, rest, and heal. Other than these simple things mentioned here, you can also try out the following five ways to reduce sciatic nerve pain:
1. YOGA- Yoga is among the most gentle and effective ways to condition your body and get into overall shape. For sciatica pain doctors and physical therapists often advise their patients to do certain exercises which target the affected area and many people have found relief this way. At the same time however, activities that place a lot of stress on the lower back should be limited and avoided as much as possible, especially bending or folding forward.
At the very least, it’s highly recommended that you start stretching. The accompanying video shows you how to do a one minute stretch routine that helps relieve sciatica pain and speed up healing. It can be done in your spare time, whenever and wherever, and the comments under the video show how it has helped tons of people get back to feeling normal and healthy again. Hopefully it will work for you as well if you suffer from sciatica!
2. MASSAGE- When your back hurts due to sciatic nerve pain it causes your muscles to tense and tighten up. This often exacerbates the pain and inflammation further, which is why a nice, relaxing, deep massage can help to relieve your aching body. Besides loosening your muscles up, a massage also leads to the release of endorphins which make you feel better and help to fight the pain.
3. HOT & COLD COMPRESS- Alternating between hot and cold treatments for sciatica can greatly relieve the pain. Placing an ice pack on the area helps to reduce inflammation, while a heating pad or warm bath works to stimulate and increase blood flow.
4. STAND UP- For the majority of people, spending a lot of time sitting down is normal. We sit while we’re waiting, when we’re traveling or going places, and when we get to where we are going, we sit down again! Not to mention working at a desk and sitting for long stretches of time at work. All that sitting can aggravate an already inflamed lower back even more and make it feel stiff as heck.
You need to get up more often and get moving! This will get your blood flowing again and keep your back from becoming tight and stiff. If you can, work while standing up and look into getting a standing desk. At the very least, get up and move around every once in awhile to avoid sitting for prolonged periods of time.
5. ACCUPUNCTURE- This is a wonderful alternative type of treatment that has worked for many sciatic nerve pain sufferers. Acupuncture may not be for everyone, especially those who hate needles, but it’s known to be effective at targeting and eliminating inflammation which is the root cause of sciatica. Out of all the issues acupuncture is used to treat, sciatica is the the top-most complained of disorder.

Lion Stumbles Out Of The Grass, Sees The Camera and Tries To Scare It With The Funniest Sound.
image via – youtube.com
Coming face to face with a wild lion is a breathtaking and rare occurrence. The second largest big cat species in the world can be very elusive when they’re off in the wild. They usually choose to avoid human contact and stick close to other members of their own pride. At least that’s true of older, fully wild, and grown adult cats who roam large territories hunting in search for food.
For young little cubs, it’s a whole different story. Like all newborn babies, lion cubs are very inquisitive and less afraid of both people and other animals. They haven’t yet developed a healthy fear of the things that could potentially harm them and they like to check things out because everything is new to them.
That’s what the tiny little fella in this video appears to be doing. He pops out of the tall grass and waddles adorably right up the pathway while making faint meowing noises. He isn’t afraid of the camera in front of him as he raises his head to face it and opens his mouth wide to let a huge roar out! The only thing is, he’s still way too young to let a fierce, loud, ferocious sounding roar rip. Instead a tiny little pip-squeak comes out!!
Sounds like this little cutie has a lot of growing up to do. When he’s eventually full grown that roar will have developed into a tremendous vocal call that can travel and be heard up to five miles away. That’s pretty impressive, but definitely not nearly as adorable and sweet as the noises this cub makes. Check out the clip because he’s by far the cutest thing you’re likely see all day.

He Tells His Adorable Puppy He’s Handsome. The Puppy Proceeds To Throw a Hysterical Tantrum.
image via – youtube.com
Pet owners know how unbelievably sweet and adorable their little fur babies can be. The one thing that can possibly make them even cuter than they already naturally are is by dressing them up. I’m not talking about putting costumes on pets, which many people choose to do, but rather functional clothing and accessories instead. Lots of little animals need the extra warmth and protection that a sweater, scarf, coat, or booties can provide.
There’s definitely something magical about a sharply accessorized puppy, they can make anyone feel instantly happy. This short clip is proof of that, just watch it and you’ll feel awesome inside! It features a man and his dog and it does a wonderful job perfectly capturing the love that animals and people mutually share for each other.
The backstory to this video is that the tiny white French Bulldog puppy had just been gifted a brand-new, super cool, red bandanna from his daddy. The little fella was clearly happy about the present because when his dad tied it loosely around his neck and asked him how he liked it, the adorable Frenchie responded with a quick “Arrff!” Seconds later dad tells him how handsome he looks, but this time the puppy responds by gently biting and nipping the back of his owner’s neck and showering him with sloppy kisses. As dad continues on praising his dog’s new look, the puppy seems to be getting a bit taken aback by all the kind words!
These two are so relaxed and comfy in each others company, it’s just nice and uplifting to see. You can really feel the positive energy and love between them. It’s the special moments like these that make life so much more enjoyable and better, nothing beats them. After spending a few minutes with a soft, loving pet all of your worries and problems seem to just disappear!
Make sure to check out the Frenchie’s full reaction and please share it with all the fellow dog lovers in your life who will appreciate it!

The Equinox On The Cusp Of Virgo/Libra: Prepare For a Huge Energy Shift On September 22, 2016
image via – shutterstock.com
Mid-September always comes with a variety of different changes. As summer winds down the weather starts to get cool and crisp and the leaves begin to change color, leaving the feeling of fall hanging the air. This year all of the many September changes will be brought to a head on Thursday, September 22, when the autumnal equinox arrives and fall officially begins.
It is set to take place at precisely 10:21 AM (EDT) and will happen simultaneously all around the world. So no matter what time zone you are in, at that exact moment the autumnal equinox will occur as the sun crosses over the celestial equator, which is to say the equator you’re familiar with! For all the wordsmiths out there, the word equinox is derived from the Latin terms aequus (equal) and nox (night) and therefore means equal night. As the word itself implies, the equinox is when day and night are equal, and the hours of lightness and darkness will last for the same amount of time.
The autumnal equinox will bring about a number of changes and an energy shift will also be occurring right along with it. While many people will not even be aware that it has happened, they will definitely end up feeling the impact and effects of it in some type of way. That’s partly because the autumnal equinox falls right on the cusp of Virgo, as it’s about to end and change over into Libra the very next day. As such, this means the timing is ideal for us to center in on ourselves and do some serious soul searching. It’s a time to find balance and to free ourselves of all our fears, stress, worries, and anything else that may be holding us back. Once we’re able to do that, we will finally feel free and ready to take on whatever comes our way.
All in all, this time of year marks the annual beginning of a series of beautiful transformations that take place not only in nature, time, and space, but also within each of us. We will all experience the autumnal shift in both our conscious and subconscious levels of existence. For some it will prove eye-opening and monumental, whereas for others it will only be slightly noticeable. What follows are some of the more meaningful themes and significant changes that this equinox will usher in. Some of them may possibly end up affecting you, so examine them closely and be on the look out for these in the upcoming days:
Release:
Many of us will finally be able to let go of the fears or worries that have been causing us great anxiety. Or perhaps it’s anger that you’ve been holding onto for far too long. Whatever it may be, now is the time to forgive, forget, overcome, and free yourself of the pent up negativity in your life so that you can move forward.
Clarity:
If you’ve been walking around in a fog you can look forward to it lifting and being able to see things clearly once again. This is due in part to the release of our fears and anxieties, as mentioned above, and by ridding yourself of the toxic emotions they cause it will provide you with a renewed sense of yourself and the world around you.
Creativity:
Our creative sides will be in overdrive. Perhaps it’s the colorful autumn foliage or the right inspiration just happens to come along, but many people will experience a heightened sense of artistic energy and expressiveness. Channel this into writings, paintings, songs, or whatever type of art you love doing as an outlet for your emotions rather than holding them all in or venting them on others.
Balance:
The autumnal equinox is all about balance. Equal night and day, equal light and dark, equal moon and sun, all these things balance the other out. Finding the right balance in the areas of our lives where we need it most will be highlighted with the seasonal changeover. Since the solar energy is shifting over into that of Libra it means aesthetics, alignment, proportionality, duality, and balance are at the forefront of our thoughts and ideas. If you work with, rather than against, things as they come your way then you’ll have a much easier time achieving a balanced state awareness.
