Instead Of Ignoring A Homeless Woman, A Kind Man Builds Her Shelter
(2) | 07/05/2015 | Translate: The Welcome Home: A Tiny House, Huge Purpose campaign and initial idea all began with a simple friendship. Elvis Summers lives in Los Angeles and had gotten to know a woman named Smokie. Irene “Smokie” McGhee has been on the streets for 10 years. She is not an addict. She was married to a wonderful man and when he passed away, she eventually lost her house and had nowhere to go. Smokie has a son, but he has six children of his own and, although he helps his mother as much as he can, she refuses to live with him because he has enough to worry about, she believes.
Summers, who found out the 60-year-old grandmother was sleeping in a patch of dirt at night, decided he was going to do something more. He took $500 of his own money and set out to Home Depot to get the materials needed to build McGhee a place to call her own. The home was built on wheels so that it could be easily moved. The local police have been very supportive, but ask that the home be relocated every 72 hours, according to ordinance.
Man built a swimming pool in the shape of a pirate ship for his children, but the neighbors forced it to be demolished It took Toronto resident John Konstantinidis eight weeks to build a swimming pool on the property of his suburban home. The man wanted his children to have more fun during the lockdown during the coronavirus pandemic. However, an unusual object in the form of a pirate ship had to be demolished after complaints from neighbors. Just a week after the completion of the work, Konstantinides was approached by representatives of local authorities with an order to dismantle the facility. As it turned out, they received an appeal from one of the man's neighbors, according to whom, the pool was built too close to the border of the site and the fence standing there. The municipality agreed with the complaint, pointing out to Konstantinidis that the construction of pools requires a special permit. In addition, for an object of this size, it is also necessary to draw up a special document regulating building codes and regulations. According to the father, the news of the demolition of the pirate ship was extremely upsetting for his two children. He was outraged by the attitude of the neighbors and claims that they could first express their grievances in a personal conversation. Nevertheless, the man dismantled the pool, received all the necessary documentation and built it again in accordance with all the requirements of the authorities. So in the end the story ended well.- Autistic Boy Finds Friend In Puppy A six-year-old autistic boy who has ‘never had a friend’ now has his first buddy – a cute Cockapoo pup who is finally bringing him out of his shell.
Cameron Costelloe, of Dunblane, Scotland, has been unable to make any friends as his autism created a barrier between him and other children, according to mum Shona Costelloe.
Even when the youngster first met pup Coco, his condition meant he would push her away when she tried to play and refused to let her sleep upstairs at night.
But patient and loving Coco has slowly won over Cameron’s heart and now the pair are inseparable – playing together, watching cartoons and cuddling up in bed every night.
- Family wraps home in greenhouse to warm up Stockholm weather The average temperature in Stockholm in January is -3°C (27°F). For Marie Granmar and Charles Sacilotto it can be much warmer thanks to the greenhouse that blankets their home. “For example at the end of January it can be -2°C outside and it can be 15 to 20°C upstairs,” explains Sacilotto. He was inspired to build a house-in-a-greenhouse through his relationship with architect Bengt Warne who began designing the first Naturhus (Nature House) in 1974*. Originally Sacilotto looked for an empty lot to build an entirely new Naturhus, but he eventually settled on an old summer house on the Stockholm archipelago. Using Warne’s design, he covered the small summer house, plus an addition, in 4 millimeter glass. The footprint of the greenhouse is nearly double that of the home, leaving plenty of room for a wrap-around garden, and since inside the bubble it’s a Mediterranean climate, the couple now grow produce atypical for Sweden (e.g. figs, tomatoes, cucumbers). The favorite spot is the glass-covered roof deck. Since there’s no longer need for a roof, the couple removed it and now have a large space for sunbathing, reading or playing with their son on swings and bikes. The greenhouse isn’t the only novel point to the Granmar-Sacilotto home. They are also completely independent from city sewage. Built by Sacilotto- an engineer by training-, the sewage system begins with a urine-separating toilet and uses centrifuges, cisterns, grow beds and garden ponds to filter the water and compost the remains.

- An autistic child neutralized and handcuffed by a security guard at his school #2 This is the 2nd video taken from the body cam of an SRO Officer with the Denton PD (first one is here: https://youtu.be/24L3x5qa0to). This 2 hour video shows the continued abuse of a 10yr old autistic boy where he has to beg to be released from handcuffs. This injustice was served by his SPED teacher that seems to have more interest in what is happening on her phone, the districts Behavioral Interventionist that obviously has no clue regarding autism since he forces this child to use his words, and a power driven officer that likes to threaten this child with handcuffs & take orders from the teacher. The district and police department continues to stand by there statement of 'no wrong doing'. This is flat out assault and civil rights violation of a disabled little boy. Next time, call mom first and tell her the truth.
- An autistic child neutralized and handcuffed by a security guard at his school This is the first 3 minutes of an unedited bodycam video that shows my 10yr old autistic son being mistreated at the hands of his SPED teacher and an SRO officer that works for Denton PD, Texas. The police report indicates that my son was a serious threat to others citing that he poked a kid with an eraser and was swinging a computer mouse around other children; however this is NOT shown on the video. Do you ever hear this officer try to talk to him or his teacher? He was not posing a serious imminent threat to himself or others at this time; therefore I believe this is excessive.
