Cops are often portrayed as unkind, and mean-spirited in the news, and it’s refreshing to see their softer, more generous side.
On a cold night in Times Square, Officer Lawrence Deprimo was working when he noticed a homeless man with bare feet sitting on the sidewalk. He asked the man what his shoes size was, and then disappeared. When he returned, he had a new pair of boots for the homeless.
A tourist named Jennifer was so touched by the officer’s kindness that she snapped a photo of the interaction, and posted it to the NYPD’s Facebook.
After asking the homeless man what his shoe size was, Officer DePrimo ran into a store and bought him a new pair of boots.

Officer DePrimo says he keeps the receipt with him “to remind me that sometimes people have it worse.”

Getting quality sleep is essential for your mental and physical wellbeing, but there’s more to getting a quality night of sleep than getting the recommended eight hours of shut-eye. While the amount of sleep you get is important, there are many other aspects that are to blame for constantly waking up exhausted.
If you’re having trouble falling asleep at night, or are constantly waking up groggy, take a look at these 7 sleep hacks that will have you sleeping like a baby.
7. Change your sheets at least once a week.
Your sheets might still look clean after a week, but they’re full of your sweat, drool, dead skin, oil from your body, and dust mites. While those things alone should convince you to change your sheets once a week, the build up of dust mites can disrupt your sleep, which may be why you wake up feeling groggy, and tired.
6. Drink your last cup of coffee no later than 2 p.m.
The caffeine in your coffee is sticking around in your body way longer than you thought. It takes the body about five to seven hours to get rid of half of the caffeine you consumed, and eight to ten hours to process 75 percent of it. Assuming you’re going to bed between 10-12 p.m., your last coffee of the day should be at 2 p.m.
Any later, and that caffeine will still be sticking around and interfering with your sleep.
5. Warm up your feet.
The body’s temperature needs to lower in order to fall asleep, which is why the optimal sleeping temperature is between 65 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit, but the hands and feet need to stay warm. If the feet and hands get too cold, the blood vessels constrict to retain heat, and makes it harder to fall asleep.
Try slipping on a pair of socks when you go to bed, so that the feet stay warm enough while the rest of the body cools down.
4. Control the noise.
If you live in an urban area, it might be difficult to control all the noise that’s disrupting your sleep, so invest in ear plugs to block out the noise. If ear plugs are too uncomfortable, another great way to help control the noise that’s keeping you up is to buy a fan or an air purifier that will create consistent white noise.
3. Lose the electronics – even alarm clocks.
Electronics like TVs, phones, and tablets emit blue light that makes falling asleep and staying asleep difficult. The blue light disrupts the body’s natural melatonin production, which may be to blame for your poor sleep. You may even consider getting rid of your alarm clock, or at least putting it across the room, as the light from the alarm has been proven to disrupt sleep if it’s within eyesight.
2. Make your bed every morning.
It turns out your mother was right, making your bed is actually pretty important. Not only does making your bed in the morning make your bedroom a more relaxing space, but a made bed will keep the dust off of your bed and sheets, which can cause irritation.
1. Pick calming colors and peaceful patterns for your bedding and décor.
If you want to make your bedroom as conducive to sleep as possible, you might want to rethink your décor. For your bedding, avoid chaotic or busy patterns and make sure your sheets and blankets are soft, muted tones. The same goes for the rest of the bedroom. When in doubt, remember sages, blues, whites, and grays are all great colors for creating a calming environment.

When you’re constantly over-stressed and over-exerted, you begin to lose sight of how unbalanced, and un-sustainable your lifestyle really is. Unfortunately, we are taught to ignore the warning signs until a major health crisis arises. However, by that point, the damage has already been done.
Don’t wait until you get some scary, life-altering diagnosis to realize that you need to slow down. Instead, start looking out for these five small signs, which will tell you if you need to reevaluate your fast-paced lifestyle.
5. You’re always sick.
When you’re overextending yourself physically, emotionally, and mentally, things start falling through the cracks. Your body’s ability to fight off infections plummets, and you’ll find yourself with a constant cough and cold. If you find you’re always feeling under the weather, it might be time to start listening to your body, and figuring out how you’re overexerting yourself.
4. You’re constantly on the phone.
If you’re compulsively checking your phone and scrolling through newsfeeds any chance you get, you’re creating a bad habit where you focus your attention and energy outwards, instead of using that time to process and deal with your emotions and the stress in your life. Despite the relief of an instant distraction, you’re problems and stress levels will only sore as you neglect to properly deal with unpleasantries.
3. You can’t sleep.
When you’re over-stressed for a prolonged period of time, the body’s nervous system is so overwhelmed that even falling asleep is a struggle. Instead of taking a sleep-aid, which will only mask the real issue, try paying more attention to what’s triggering your stress and remove them as best as possible.
2. You’ve developed a beer belly- even though you don’t drink that much.
If you feel like you’re eating all the right things, but can’t get rid of the gut that you’ve developed, chances are your body is trying to tell you to slow down and de-stress. Studies have found a link between an excess of the stress hormone, cortisol, and excess belly fat. Cortisol has been shown to stimulate the production of fat cells around the belly, which also increases your risk of stroke, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease.
1. You can barely find the time to eat, never-mind care about what you’re eating.
If you’re so busy that you can barely set aside enough time to pull through a drive-through, let alone make a home-cooked meal, you definitely need to slow down. However, when you don’t provide your body with all the nutrients it needs to function properly, you’ll be less able to cope with challenges, which will only increase stress.

This motorcyclist named Laney was out for a typical ride in her hometown in Oklahoma when she noticed something unusual in the middle of traffic.
Thanks to the GoPro attached to her helmet, we can watch the amazing moment Laney stops traffic in a busy intersection to save a terrified kitten. Luckily, the cat, which she later named Skidmark, was unharmed in the whole incident.
At first Laney thought she say a leaf on the ground, but soon realized it was a kitten in shock.

She hopped off her bike and ran into the intersection to catch the small kitten, and bring him to safety.

We’ve all been warned about the dangers of smoking cigarettes, but even if you don’t smoke, you might be putting your health at risk every single day. Turns out, all of those late nights, sides of bacon, and pairs of uncomfortable shoes are more harmful to your health than you think. In fact- they’re as dangerous as smoking.
Take a look at the five seemingly harmless things that are just as bad for your health as cigarettes.
5. Not Getting Enough Sleep
According to the National Sleep Foundation, adults should be getting between seven to nine hours of sleep each night, however most people fail to reach that recommendation. Going to sleep an hour past bedtime might seem harmless, but over time, sleep deprivation can cause high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, and obesity.
One study found that people who get less than six or seven hours of sleep had a similar mortality rate compared to cigarette smokers.
4. Texting
Many people spend just as much time sleeping as they do hunched over on their phones, computers, or tablets, so it’s no surprise that ‘text neck’ is becoming a huge problem for people of every age. The bad posture is caused by leaning the head over towards the phone or screen, and that strain on the neck creates muscle tension which will injure the spine, and cause herniated discs and pinched nerves.
3. Wearing Uncomfortable Shoes
We’ve all told ourselves ‘pain is beauty’ at one time or another in an attempt to justify a painful fashion or beauty trend, but it turns out you shouldn’t take that pain in stride.
In particular, wearing uncomfortable shoes, like high heels, put the wearer at a greater risk of falls, and has also been shown to have a huge effect on posture, and even cause spine and feet degeneration.
2. Sitting for Too Long
For many people, sitting at a desk all day is part of the job description, but sitting at a desk for prolonged periods of time has been shown to have an array of negative health effects, even for people who exercise regularly. Sitting for long periods of time increases your risk of heart disease, depression, diabetes, and types of cancer.
According to a study conducted at the Pennington Biomedical Research Centers, people who spend more time sitting have a shorter lifespan regardless of age, wights, or level of exercise.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), processed meats like bacon, hot dogs, and ham have been shown to cause cancer, and have likened the food to other known carcinogens like alcohol, cigarettes, asbestos, and arsenic.
The report said that eating just 50g of processed meat, which is less than two slices of meat, everyday increased the chance of developing colorectal cancer by 18 percent. The WHO also went on to link all red meat to cancer, although there was less definitive proof.
Are you shocked that these seemingly harmless everyday activities are as bad for your health as smoking cigarettes? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below.
Coloring is a hobby we normally associate with children, but why should kids get all the fun? Aside from just being a fun activity, coloring has been proven to improve creativity, improve the way we deal with emotions, and improves focus.
While most of us haven’t picked up a colored pencil or crayon since they disappeared from school supply lists, publishers all over the world have been producing adult coloring books as people started to recognize their ability to relieve stress.
Take a look at the top 3 reasons you should pick up an adult coloring book, and revisit your old childhood pastime.
3. Coloring is therapeutic.
Coloring won’t cure a disease, but the activity has long been used to help people cope with conditions like PTSD, Cancer, and depression. One study found that art therapy significantly reduced symptoms of emotional and physical distress of cancer patients while in treatment.
Using art as therapy is so effective because it provides a way for people to express themselves when it’s difficult to put emotions into words. And you don’t have to be sick to reap the rewards, anyone can use coloring as an outlet to express emotions that they normally aren’t able to.
2. Coloring relieves stress and anxiety.
By allowing yourself to focus on colors and design, instead of your constant worries, you’re giving your brain a chance to unwind and organize itself. Coloring gives the fear center of your brain a chance to take a rest, which reduces your overall stress levels overtime. Like meditation, coloring trains the brain to respond less dramatically to stress.
1. Coloring trains your brain to focus.
Coloring requires concentration and focus to stay inside the lines, and to pick colors according to how they interact in the picture, which forces you to stay in the moment instead of letting your mind wander off. One clinical counselor, Leslie Marshall, explains that coloring “opens up the frontal lobe of the brain — the home of organizing and problem solving — and focuses the mind.”
Simply put, coloring allows you to forget about your worries and to-do lists, and focus on what’s right in front of you. Over time, this carries over into other areas of your life, and allows you to focus on one issue at a time.
Turns out Samantha had it right all along.

Andy’s room in Toy Story was the room we all grew up dreaming to play in, and thanks to a group of die-hard fans, the legendary room has been brought to life.
Disney Pixar enthusiasts, Mason McGrew, Morgan McGrew, and friends, spent two years making a full scale version of Andy’s room. The two have recreated many scenes from the Toy Story 3, but knew that their work wouldn’t be complete until they finished Andy’s room.
“It’s the room that most of us grew up wishing we had. From the hardwood floor to the bright white woodwork, it’s all there.”
Photo by thepixarist
“A lot of time was spent on Andy’s desk. Before we renovated it, it was an old, broken brown desk. It was really awesome fixing it up for our remake though because it used to belong to my grandmother.”
Photo by thepixarist
“His posters were almost perfectly recreated for our room as well. I’ve got to thank my brother for those. The amount of detail he put into those things amazes me.”
Photo by thepixarist
“It may sound a bit obsessive, but we tried incredibly hard to make sure that every little detail was captured. For example, there is a white board next to Andy’s desk that we, for the most part, replicated perfectly.”
Photo by thepixaristPhoto by thepixarist
“One of my favorite aspects of Andy’s room in Toy Story 3 is his door. I just love the dart board, scattered stickers and posters on it. It really gives off the teenager-vibe.”
Photo by thepixarist
“With that said, I absolutely loved recreating it for our room. I still can’t believe we managed to find that dart board…and for only $5 at a thrift shop. Score!”
Photo by thepixarist
In the two years it took to complete the room, Mason and Morgan made sure to include every little detail.

Including the crescent moon on the headboard, the wagon toy box, and red electric guitar.

With the help of a special teddy bear, Kelly-Anne Kelleher, a zookeeper at the ZSL London Zoo, has become this 7-week-old sloth’s surrogate mom. When the baby’s mom stopped producing milk, she was unable to care for the baby, which still had a long way to go before being able to look after himself.
The zoo decided to use a teddy bear from the gift shop to help build up the muscles that the sloth would normally have developed from holding on to his mom.
Because of his impressive claws, the zoo’s keepers named the baby sloth Edward after Johnny Depp’s famous character, Edward Scissorhands.

Many high schoolers take their graduations for granted, and never realize how lucky they are for being allowed to receive an education.
For Margaret Bekema, graduating from Grand Rapids Catholic Central High was not possible since she was forced to leave so she could take care of her siblings, and her mother who was sick with cancer. 79 years later, however, she was finally presented with her honorary diploma. The 97-year-old burst into tears upon seeing her diploma, and thanked everyone from the bottom of her heart.
According to Greg Deja, Central Principal, “her life has been one of sacrifice and service. It has been so encouraging and inspiring for our community because her choices represent all the core values that we teach our students.”
When Margaret was 17, she was forced to leave school in order to take care of her siblings and sick mother.
