Residents living in a senior living community in Round Rock, Texas had a special online guest last April 3 to host their virtual bingo night, and it was definitely alright, alright, alright.
A Texas native himself, Matthew McConaughey, along with this wife, mother and children weren’t able to go visit the seniors in their facility, so they did the next best thing. He hosted the game via Zoom for all the residents living at the Enclave at Round Rock Senior Living.
According to KEYE-TV, these seniors had already requested the Oscar-winning actor to guest last September. The team members, along with the residents at the senior living facility uploaded a video on their social media page in order to get in touch with McConaughey, and finally he was able to attend!
“The generosity and kindness Matthew McConaughey and his family showed our residents was beautiful, but more importantly we were gifted with a humble message from his heart,” said William Swearingen, marketing spokesperson for Spectrum Retirement Communities, owner and operator of The Enclave at Round Rock Senior Living.
When someone called out “bingo,” the winner was able to ask McConaughey a question, which was the prize. A video was posted on the Facebook page of the living facility showing McConaughey with his family behind him cheering the players on. It also showed the seniors genuinely thanking him and his family for taking the time to join them. The post wrote:
“During a time when we are all working to make lemonade out of lemons, we are so humbled that Matthew took the time to play our favorite game with us,” employees at the living facility wrote. “As Matthew would say, let’s turn this red light into a green light!”
McConaughey replied to the message saying: “[Show] fairness, kindness, accountability, resilience, respect, courage” and “make some lemonade out of this lemon that we’re in the middle of … so we can “turn this red light into a green light.”
Sales director of The Enclave at Round Rock Senior Living, Molly Davis Nedley told KEYE-TV that nowadays, neither the staff can interact as they normally would with the residents, “so we have been doing everything possible to uplift them virtually.

After 30 Years, The Himalayan Mountain Range Is Visible 300 Kms. Away Again, Thanks To Coronavirus Lockdown

For the first time since it was last witnessed 30 years ago , the snow-covered mountain range of Dhauladhar in India is visible to the locals because of the huge decrease in pollution levels because of the strict measures of self-quarantine to avoid the coronavirus spread within the country .
SBS reported that for many of the citizens , the clear view of the Dhauladhar Range – which means “ White Range , ” and other parts of the Himalayas is something that they have never experienced in their whole lives .
Of course , many shared this amazing view @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , including the former Indian cricket player Harbhajan Singh ( @ harbhajan_singh ) , who tweeted : “ Never seen Dhauladar range from my home rooftop in Jalandhar .
Never could imagine that ’ s possible .
A clear indication of the impact the pollution has done by us to mother earth.
” “ We can see the snow-covered mountains clearly from our roofs .
And not just that , stars are visible at night .
I have never seen anything like this in recent times .
Not just normal traffic is off @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also shut down .
This has helped bring the pollution level to unbelievably low levels.
” In a country with a total population of 1.3 billion people , India has been on a strict nationwide lockdown that started last March 22 and will probably lifted on April 14 , depending on the circumstances .
This draconian decision has ceased a huge movement of the entire population that has been criticized the human rights groups , as well as the private industry claiming it will cause damages to the country and its economy .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ piece authored by auto company executive Rajiv Bajaj who argues that “ virtually no country has imposed such a sweeping lockdown as India has ; I continue to believe this makes India weak rather than stronger in combating the epidemic.
” The lockdown includes shutting down of factories , places of worship , markets and small shops , most public transportation and on-going construction projects .
With all these not functioning in the past few weeks , it has given the country a temporary respite from the high pollution levels India usually has @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cities in the world , at least 21 of these cities are in India .
As per CNN reports , India ’ s government data shows that the New Delhi capital has had a plunge of 71 percent from a harmful microscopic particulate matter known as PM 2.5 .
This matter enters the lungs and goes into the bloodstream and vital organs which has caused serious risks to people ’ s health .
At the same time , the nitrogen dioxide coming from motor traffic and power plants has also fallen at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ drops in air pollutants in other cities around the country like Mumbai , Bangalore , Kolkata and Chennai .
India is not the only country these days to experience an incredible improvement of air quality because of national lockdowns in order to curb the pandemic .

trueactivist--2020-01-05--A 5-Year-Old Sells Cookies And Hot Cocoa To Pay For Her 123 Classmates’ Lunch Debts

It ’ s not an everyday occurrence that a 5-year-old sells cookies and cocoa in order to help her 123 classmates pay for their lunch debts .
Yes , you read that right .
The 5-year-old San Diego student Katelynn Hardee just gave everyone older than her a lesson on how to be a compassionate human being .
This kindergarten student from Breeze Hill Elementary school has already got her ethics on point .
While the older generation complains that the younger generation doesn ’ t care about humanity , Katelynn just proved them wrong .
When she overheard a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to pay for her child ’ s school expenses , this little girl vowed to do something to solve this problem .
She confided in her mother , Karina Hardee about what she overheard , but explaining to a child how some people are just less fortunate than others and it is not an easy task .
Karina told KSWB that she explained this situation as best and simple as she could – some people have a lot going on in their lives , therefore some are more unfortunate than others .
Katelynn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ pay for her classmates ’ lunch debts .
As she knew how to make lemonade and manned a lemonade stall during the summers , she decided to expand her business and started selling cookies and hot cocoa as well .
All the money that she would earn in this business would be donated to the school .
Not only did she start making all the cookies and the hot cocoa , Katelynn would also work three hours everyday selling her products in her lemonade stall .
Good deeds don ’ t stay secret @ @ @ @ @ @ @ great news went viral just over a week after she started .
Since everyone wanted to help this little girl out , Katelynn ’ s business kept doubling overnight .
They were able to raise enough money to pay for 123 student ’ s lunch debts .
Lunch debts have turned into a major problem in American schools where the students are bullied because their parents can ’ t pay for lunch .
In various occasions , these students end up eating an alternative lunch that is far inferior to the regular menu @ @ @ @ @ @ @ within the year because the governor of California has passed a law stating that students can ’ t be devoid of lunch even if their parents haven ’ t paid .
All this has been set into place last Janiary 1 , 2020 .
Katelynn ’ s hard work and dedication is another positive step into overcoming this serious issue .

It’s not an everyday occurrence that a 5-year-old sells cookies and cocoa in order to help her 123 classmates pay for their lunch debts. Yes, you read that right. The 5-year-old San Diego student Katelynn Hardee just gave everyone older than her a lesson on how to be a compassionate human being.
This kindergarten student from Breeze Hill Elementary school has already got her ethics on point. While the older generation complains that the younger generation doesn’t care about humanity, Katelynn just proved them wrong. When she overheard a parent talking about how hard it was to pay for her child’s school expenses, this little girl vowed to do something to solve this problem.
She confided in her mother, Karina Hardee about what she overheard, but explaining to a child how some people are just less fortunate than others and it is not an easy task. Karina told KSWB that she explained this situation as best and simple as she could – some people have a lot going on in their lives, therefore some are more unfortunate than others.
Katelynn then starting thinking of a plan to pay for her classmates’ lunch debts. As she knew how to make lemonade and manned a lemonade stall during the summers, she decided to expand her business and started selling cookies and hot cocoa as well. All the money that she would earn in this business would be donated to the school.
Not only did she start making all the cookies and the hot cocoa, Katelynn would also work three hours everyday selling her products in her lemonade stall. Good deeds don’t stay secret, and that’s why this great news went viral just over a week after she started. Since everyone wanted to help this little girl out, Katelynn’s business kept doubling overnight. They were able to raise enough money to pay for 123 student’s lunch debts.
Lunch debts have turned into a major problem in American schools where the students are bullied because their parents can’t pay for lunch. In various occasions, these students end up eating an alternative lunch that is far inferior to the regular menu.
Thankfully, all this will change within the year because the governor of California has passed a law stating that students can’t be devoid of lunch even if their parents haven’t paid. All this has been set into place last Janiary 1, 2020.
Katelynn’s hard work and dedication is another positive step into overcoming this serious issue.

Last week, experts states that 2.1 million square miles (5.5 million sq km) of smoke has started to make its way towards New Zealand by drifting over the Pacific Ocean. BBC reported that Australia has been blanketed by smoke and haze in the last few days. The Guardian has also reported that vacationers in New Zealand have described the skies over there as “orange” and “apocalyptic.” This smoke and soot has even stained the neighbouring country’s iconic white glaciers, turning them black and “caramelizing” the snow which could further endanger these glaciers even more. Snow that gets blackened by ash and dust tend to melt at a faster rate than usual.

Last week we had 300 come in, and we’ve been flat out feeding since then.

Koala Crisis posted on their Facebook page:

trueactivist--2020-01-08--This Hostel In Jamaica Is Giving Away Free Joints In Exchange For Buckets Of Trash

This hostel is not only saving the world , but they ’ re also spreading the love at the same time by giving away joints .
This can also happen to you if you travel to Jamaica and stay in the German hostel Germaican .
For every bucket of trash their guests get to collect in the beach , the hostel will give you a fat joint in exchange for cleaning their shores .
International High Life reported that in July 2018 , one of the posts made by the hostel went viral .
They advertised that they are giving @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a bucket of garbage .
Of course , pot-lovers quickly took up that offer .
This cool exchange of goods was started by Marian Erbach , a 33-year-old from Germany but now living in Jamaica .
He was so upset with the massive amount of garbage in their area , mostly plastic waste – so he came up with a plan to trade joints for trash .
After advertising his idea , Erbach rolled 56 joints that totalled 56 grams of weed .
He didn ’ t roll more than this because under @ @ @ @ @ @ @ legally allowed to carry up to a maximum of 56 grams of marijuana without being arrested .
The most that could happen is him being fined .
Without big surprise , his idea worked like a charm .
More cannabis lovers and guests went to his hostel to pick up trash and trade it for free joints .
More importantly , the nearby beaches are way cleaner .
As reported by EcoWatch , over 80 % of trash that is initially thrown in landfills all end up floating in the ocean .
Most @ @ @ @ @ @ @ stays in giant garbage patches like the Great Pacific Garbage Patch .
If they are left there for a long time , they will eventually break apart into micro-particles and kill the animals who end up ingesting these particles , as well as spread toxins to the ocean .

Kiev’s Foreign Ministry listed the following victims from seven countries: 82 Iranians, 63 Canadians, 10 Swedes, 4 Afghans, 3 Germans, 3 British, 2 Ukrainians and 9 crew members.
The black box was recovered, and according to international law, the airplane crash investigation of Ukrainian flight PS752 should be carried out in and by Iran, the country where the catastrophic event happened.
Iran stated that they will not surrender the black box to Boeing and neither do they intend to invite the United States to take part in the investigation.
“We will not give the black box to the manufacturer [Boeing] or America. The cause of the accident will not be discovered or announced until the black box is analyzed,” Ali Abedzadeh, the head of Tehran’s civil aviation organization, informed Mehr News Agency.
Abedzadeh was further quoted telling Ukrainian investigators that they will be present during the investigation.
The head of Iran’s Civil Aviation Authority also said that the pilot did not contact Air Traffic Control to report any problems.
There were initial findings provided by Ukraine’s Tehran embassy that suggested engine failure as the reason behind the crash, but the consulate later retracted its statement and disclosed they were looking into other possibilities to determine the cause of the aviation accident.
Iranian state news likewise initially reported that the disaster was caused by mechanical trouble, and while some aviation experts wondered if the plane was brought down by a missile, terrorist attacks were quickly ruled out by Iranian officials.
Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, cautioned the public not to speculate or share unconfirmed theories about the plane crash in Tehran until official reports were released.
The Ukrainian leader wrote, “Tonight, our plane with a team of experts is going to Iran. All of them will be involved in the investigation, identification and repatriation of the bodies of Ukrainians killed in the plane crash.”
Even though Iran declined to give Boeing the black box, the American aerospace company readily offered its assistance in any way required.
Due to the tragedy, the management of the UIA announced the suspension of all scheduled Ukrainian flights, effective January 9, 2020.
