Girl survived beating with metal pole by 3 other girls , only to be thrown in a river to drown A teenage girl was vas viciously beaten with a metal pole by three other girls before she was thrown in a creek and left to drown after surviving the attack .
According to reports , 16-year-olds Ta ’ Niya Merriweather , Erin Taylor , and Tyeshia Whisenant were all charged with capital murder for taking the life of Lesley Luna Pantaleon , who was reported missing this summer .
Police were contacted about a body that had been seen in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Regional Airport in Alabama on July 4 , and eventually , they found Pantaleon ’ s remains .
According to detective Ashley Brown , Pantaleon ’ s mobile phone log helped police link the other girls to her murder .

She went to retrieve it on June 24 from an address she was given .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ “ put out a hit ” on the address where Whisenant resided , even though it was thought Taylor ’ s cousin was the one who took the weapon .
The detective talked about how Pantaleon and Whisenant started fighting at the house , before the victim and the attackers , in addition to a juvenile boy whose name has not been disclosed , stepped into a car and drove off .
While in the vehicle , Whisenant and the boy were involved in another altercation with Pantaleon , and Taylor , who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ woods .

Girl survived beating with metal pole by 3 other girls, only to be thrown in a river to drown
A teenage girl was vas viciously beaten with a metal pole by three other girls before she was thrown in a creek and left to drown after surviving the attack.
According to reports, 16-year-olds Ta’Niya Merriweather, Erin Taylor, and Tyeshia Whisenant were all charged with capital murder for taking the life of Lesley Luna Pantaleon, who was reported missing this summer.
Police were contacted about a body that had been seen in the Catoma Creek area near the Montgomery Regional Airport in Alabama on July 4, and eventually, they found Pantaleon’s remains.
According to detective Ashley Brown, Pantaleon’s mobile phone log helped police link the other girls to her murder.
The accused have reportedly admitted in interviews that the reason for the crime was a missing gun.
The Montgomery Advisor tells how the weapon was apparently taken from the victim in the days before her death. She went to retrieve it on June 24 from an address she was given.
One lawyer said recently that Pantaleon apparently “put out a hit” on the address where Whisenant resided, even though it was thought Taylor’s cousin was the one who took the weapon.
The detective talked about how Pantaleon and Whisenant started fighting at the house, before the victim and the attackers, in addition to a juvenile boy whose name has not been disclosed, stepped into a car and drove off.
"Just take me home, you can have my truck." Those are some of the last words Lesley Luna Pantaleon said to the three girls charged after her death, according to a Montgomery police detective. https://t.co/AOzlZ604vd — MontgomeryAdvertiser (@MGMAdvertiser) October 27, 2020
While in the vehicle, Whisenant and the boy were involved in another altercation with Pantaleon, and Taylor, who was driving, pulled over in the woods.
There, Pantaleon was beaten severely with a metal pole taken from a gate.
Affidavits of the arrests say that the victim was also stabbed, before being left to die. The four killers then allegedly went to Whisenant’s house and confessed their crimes to another girl, whom they also offered the chance to see Pantaleon’s body.
When they got to back to the woods, Whisenant allegedly said that Pantaleon “needed to be taken care of,” after seeing that her feet moved.
The victim was then brought to the back of the car.
“They take her on a long, bumpy road for a couple of minutes, get to a creek and river area, then they threw her in the river. The pole was also thrown in the river. According to Tyeshia, it appeared the victim was trying to swim,” Detective Brown said.
Shockingly, after the murder was committed, the group went to McDonald’s for smoothies at about 6 in the morning.
Police found the car, which belonged to the victim, at a parking lot.
Whisenant’s attorney, Ben Schoettker, has tried to convince the court that his client should not be charged with capital murder – a crime that applied when a murder occurs during the commission of another felony – because there was no robbery commited.
“If you look at the situation logically, it’s not a robbery and its not a capital murder,” he argued. “What happened is terrible. It’s not capital murder. There’s no evidence that they killed this person to get a car and a cellphone. They killed this person because of a dispute, and it got out of hand. No one wanted her car or her cellphone.”
Prosecutor Scott Green, however, said:
“I do think this was a heinous and cruel capital murder. What we have is a teenage girl literally beaten so badly that the medical examiner had to take a guess as to what caused her death. This is not because she made a phone call. That may have been what kicked it off, but once these four people became angry with her, she never stood a chance. They took her stuff and they took her and they beat her more and threw her in the creek to drown her or for her to die from her injuries. She would have been better off in a car with four monsters than with these people. They’re exactly where they belong.”
According to reports, Judge Monet Gaines declined to immediately make a decision on whether the cases would move ahead as capital murder cases.

Steven Novak, an East Dallas artist, decided to go gore for this year’s Halloween. Instead of carving pumpkins and putting a fake skeleton on his porch, Steven turned his lawn into an incredibly realistic murder scene, Newsner reports.
To achieve this jaw-dropping level of authenticity, Novak used blood-splattered floor and gruesome dummies. One of the dummies in his chilling yard is found with his head pulverized, another with a scale replacing his head, and another with a chainsaw drilling into his body. There are also some blood-covered trash bags appearing to contain dismembered bodies and a wheelbarrow filled with chopped arms and legs.
Talking about the inspiration behind his carnage-looking home, the creative decorator told Dallas Observer:
“I’ve always been up to hijinks like flying ghosts or 7-foot tall snow sculptures of myself, so if I was gonna do Halloween, it was obvious that it should be hyperreal. No lights, fog machine, or camp … something that would really freak people out walking by in the dark. So I whipped up some dummies and slung 20 gallons of blood all over.”
The talented artist finds himself comfortably at the “horrifying” end of the scale when it comes to festive fall decor.
While Steven’s way of garnishing his home for All Hallow’s Eve has stunned many of his neighbors, it has also brought cops around numerous times. He shares:

On one occasion, the police were all set as if it was a real crime scene. Novak says the officers gathered at his door in formation. He explains:

In her helpful Facebook post, which has been shared over 127,000 times, the crafty mom writes:
“I feel I need to pass on this Halloween pumpkin hack: once you have cut the top off get a hand mixer (with one or 2 whisks on it as both work) and use this to detach all the insides of the pumpkin…take the whisks right to the edge of the pumpkin so it scrapes the bits off then just scoop out the insides that are now all mush (it has just taken me 5 minutes to do the inside of a pumpkin 🎃“
As per Mirror, Nina added:
“Each year I would say to friends and family ‘Oh you should try this hack’. Yet no one else had ever heard of it, so this year I thought I would take pictures and share them on Facebook. I didn’t think it would be this popular and honestly thought more people would have known about it already. Anything to make the pumpkin carving easier is always a win in my books.”

iheartintelligence--2020-10-30--Arctic sea ice fails to refreeze by late October for the first time in recorded history

Arctic sea ice fails to refreeze by late October for the first time in recorded history Frightful record : The Arctic sea ice has failed to refreeze by late October .
• The Arctic sea ice has scored a fearful record by not fully refreezing by late October for the first time ever .

The Arctic sea ice is yet to start freezing, following a worrying standstill caused by a heatwave in Siberia. As IFL Science reports, this is the first time in recorded history that the Laptev Sea has failed to freeze this late in the year.

Although the heatwave has passed, there are still many consequences, including the fact that the Arctic’s premier ice nursery in the Laptev Sea has failed to freeze. This would continue to severely affect the polar region. Zachary Labe, a postdoctoral researcher at Colorado State University, told The Guardian:
“The lack of freeze-up so far this fall is unprecedented in the Siberian Arctic region.”
Scientists fear the late freeze would trigger the greenhouse effect.
Typically, in early winter, ice forms along the northern Siberian coastline and is then blown out across the Laptev Sea and beyond by strong winds. While traveling, the ice carries nutrients across the Arctic before finally melting in the Fram Strait passage in Spring.
Unfortunately, this year’s late freeze implies that the ice might melt before reaching the passage. Therefore, plankton throughout the Arctic will receive fewer nutrients. This event will significantly reduce the organisms’ capacity to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The whole process will potentially contribute to the greenhouse effect, resulting in higher global temperatures and even less ice.
The researcher explains:
“2020 is another year that is consistent with a rapidly changing Arctic. Without a systematic reduction in greenhouse gases, the likelihood of our first ‘ice-free’ summer will continue to increase by the mid-21st century.”
I'm waiting for the refreeze. [*Note that the basin is geographically constrained (same maximum sea ice cover = flat line). Map: https://t.co/QJzA0sLzfs] pic.twitter.com/b62GkSTxmZ — Zack Labe (@ZLabe) October 24, 2020
Previously this year, the Laptev Sea ice melted earlier than ever before, leaving vast areas of open water exposed.
When it comes to apocalyptic climate change, 2020 is amongst the years that have contributed the most. Not only we are now observing the late refreeze, but it was preceded by an early melting.
As the open water absorbed sunlight, it reportedly reached a temperature of 5°C above average. This increase is now affecting the delay of the winter freeze. Terrifyingly, this could mean that in 2021 there would be an even earlier melt, as well as later refreeze.

iheartintelligence--2020-10-30--Daycares in Finland Built a ‘Forest Floor’, And It’s Changing The Immune Systems Of Kids

Researchers in Finland conducted an experiment and found that exposure to greenery changed children ’ s immune systems .
• Daycare centers created a ‘ forest floor ’ where children could play and care for plants .
• After 28 days , the children exposed to greenery showed increased T-cells among other vital immune markers .

The 10 daycares can be divided into three groups : • Daycares that take children out for daily nature time .

The study looked at 10 different urban daycares which looked after a total of 75 children.
It compared the environmental microbes which were found in the yards of the ten daycares. The 10 daycares can be divided into three groups:
Daycares with concrete and gravel yards. Daycares that take children out for daily nature time. Daycares (4) with grass and forest undergrowth in the yards.
The experiment took 28 days and looked at a total of 75 children, ages 3-5. Over the course of the experiment, the children in the last group were given time to play in their new green yard five times a week.
Researchers found improved results in the final group of children.
When they tested the microbiota of children’s skin and gut before and after the trial, researchers discovered improved results in the children from the third group compared to those in the first. Moreover, they found that microbes on the skin and guts of the children who played in greenery had increased in diversity. While the results of the third group differed greatly from the first group, they largely matched the second group which had daily nature outings. Environmental scientist Marja Roslund from the University of Helsinki commented on the study’s findings:
We also found that the intestinal microbiota of children who received greenery was similar to the intestinal microbiota of children visiting the forest every day.
This is the first study to explicitly manipulate a child’s urban environment and test for changes in their microbiome.
While prior research has found that early exposure to nature is linked to a stronger immune system, researchers are not certain if the relationship is causal. The ‘biodiversity hypothesis’ is the notion that living in a green environment that is rich in living things can impact our immunity. Based on the biodiversity hypothesis, it is believed that a loss of biodiversity in cities and urban areas can be – at least partially – responsible for the recent increase in immune-related illnesses. According to the study’s authors:
The results of this study support the biodiversity hypothesis and the concept that low biodiversity in the modern living environment may lead to an un-educated immune system and consequently increase the prevalence of immune-mediated diseases.
The research had a small sample size and only found a correlation.
As the study had a small sample size and cannot account for what children were doing outside of their time at the daycare, the findings are not conclusive. Nevertheless, they do support the leading idea that a change in environmental microbes has the power to easily affect a well-established microbiome in children.

Researchers have found the best way to express your gratitude to your partner .
• Study finds that praising your partner for their help is better than acknowledging their sacrifices .
• If done the right way , expressing gratitude can strengthen your relationship .
• It is important to note that how you express gratitude can depend on the type of relationship you have .
A new study investigated the best way to say “ Thank you ” in a romantic relationship .
Through an analysis of diary entries and conversation studies , researchers found that the best way @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how responsive your loved one was to your needs .
This means that when trying to thank your partner for something they have done , try elaborating on how their actions helped you instead of highlighting the sacrifices they made .
For example , saying “ If it wasn ’ t for you , I would not have been able to get to my doctor ’ s appointment on time ” is perceived better than “ I know you were busy and it must have been a hassle for you to take me @ @ @ @ @ @ @ words , if a thank you conveys that the benefactor was valued and that they contributed to your overall wellbeing , they will perceive the gratitude more positively .
The study authors commented on this as they wrote : These findings are consistent with the notion that romantic relationships are communal in nature and that giving and receiving of benefits between partners are based on responsiveness to each other ’ s needs [ … ] That is , benefactors are satisfied to learn that what they did met their partner ’ s needs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a concern for their partner ’ s welfare .
The research included 111 participants who had been in a relationship for an average of 4 and a half years .
Researchers wanted to compare two different expressions of gratitude : one which conveyed how responsive a partner was to their needs and another which conveyed how much the act of kindness cost the partner .
Participants first completed an online questionnaire and then had 3 filmed conversations in a lab .
In the final conversation , the participants were asked to talk about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
The recorded conversations were assessed by a team of five assistants who had to rank them based on ‘ how much their gratitude highlighted the cost to their partner and how much it highlighted their partner ’ s responsiveness.
’ Following this , the participants had to complete another questionnaire about how their partner ’ s gratitude makes them feel .
After that , they were told to complete a short survey every night for two weeks so that they could reflect on the sacrifices they made during the day .
These @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to those from the recorded conversations .
The authors further commented on the study : Of course , our results do not suggest that acknowledgment of the costs has no value to the benefactor in a communal relationship ; it may still be a better alternative to not expressing gratitude at all .
Yet , once feelings of gratitude have been conveyed , it may be the message of how much they have made an impact in the partner ’ s wellbeing that is more satisfying to the benefactor .
Acknowledging the costs @ @ @ @ @ @ @ new relationship .
It is important to note that the length of the relationship can also play a role ; that is , the authors note that if the relationship is relatively new or just starting out , then an acknowledgment of costs can be better .
The reason for this is that in the beginning of a relationship , one may question if they are being used .
The researchers discussed this , writing : “ Perhaps when relationship norms and expectations have not been established yet and concerns about being taken @ @ @ @ @ @ @ may be some benefits of receiving explicit acknowledgment of one ’ s efforts ” .
Either way , finding out the right way to express gratitude is key to strengthening your relationship .

Baby’s decapitated head falls to the floor during birthing, resulting in the team of doctors being investigated
Baby’s decapitated head falls to the floor during birthing, resulting in the team of doctors being investigated
WARNING: THE FOLLOWING STORY CONTAINS GRAPHIC DETAILS SOME PEOPLE MIGHT FING DISTRESSING
Para, Brazil: A nightmarish scene took place in a hospital room filled with people where a baby’s head was decapitated, leading to the doctors in the room to be investigated for mishandling the birth.
Medical experts at the Santa Casa de Misericordia hospital are facing accusations of forcing a 26-year-old pregnant mother to naturally give birth to her baby, even though a cesarean operation was necessary.
At first, the woman had tried another hospital in the city of Ourem, and her ambulance arrived there at around 6 am, according to The Sun.
However,
“the doctor from Ourem sent her to Belem with a paper saying the baby could only be born if she were operated on,” the woman’s husband reportedly told the media.
With the papers in hand given by a doctor that insisted the baby’s birth should be done through cesarean section, the 8-month-pregnant mother was brought to the second hospital where the horrific scene unfolded.
It took the woman three hours to be admitted into the delivery room, and eventually, the doctors went ahead and ignored the recommendation, deciding to opt for a natural birth.
Accompanying the young mother was a friend of her’s named Amanda Vieira, who later told her family, as well as the police, about repeatedly telling the team that the mother should not give birth naturally. However, the doctors decided to play deaf.
“They didn’t listen and kept telling her to push,” the husband said, according to Mirror. “They pushed so hard that the head came into the nurse’s hand and then fell to the floor. They only operated afterwards to remove the rest of the body.”
After everyone in the room saw the child’s head falling to the floor, the team decided to sedate the mother and opened her to take out the rest of the body.
And while one medical expert claimed that the child had already been dead before the delivery, Amanda told the police that the child’s heartbeat was detected two times in the second hospital. The first time, the nurses detected it when the woman first arrived at the hospital; the second time was during birth.
The husband told the media that his wife also has a 9-year-old boy from a previous relationship. The woman is currently in a state of deep distress due to having lost her baby and still does not know the exact circumstance of her child’s death.
A police investigation into the case is currently ongoing and the city’s governor, Helder Barbalho, recently said that the police should work twice as fast to get to the bottom of the case.
The doctors involved in the case should also be punished, the governor said.
A statement released by the hospital later said:
“Due to being premature and having multiple fatal deformations and presenting soft tissue, several manoeuvres were performed to remove the baby, yet there were complications in the fatal extraction.”
