The formal clothing of the Roman Citizen was the Toga. During Roman elections, those running for political office would rub their Toga with a dazzling white chalk to stand out. Called Toga Candida (pure-white) this clothing was the origin of the word "candidate".

A married man called Shivarama killed his wife by flaying her to expose her veins and intestines. He then beheaded and dismembered her after she refused to serve him dinner. The body of 35-year-old Pushpalatha was discovered in the family kitchen. The married couple have an 8-year-old son. After finishing his shift at the sawmill, Shivarama returned home where an argument with his wife, Pushpalatha, erupted over his job, a recurring point of contention. When Pushpalatha refused to give him dinner, the dispute intensified, ultimately leading to Shivarama stabbing her in a fit of anger. He then proceeded to mutilate her body with a machete, continuing to skin her until the early hours of May 28, 2024, as their son slept inside the house. The next day, Shivarama confessed his actions to his landlord and employer, who promptly notified the police.

Have you ever seen an etheric being?

The story of the three border collies that were trained to run like the wind to bring new life to Chilean forest devastated by wildfires, wearing backpacks releasing native plant seeds. One of the worst wildfire season in Chile's history ravaged more than 1.4 million acres early in 2017, destroying nearly 1,500 homes and killing at least 11 people. More than a dozen countries sent fire-fighting specialists to help battle the dozens of destructive blazes. When the fires were finally extinguished, the landscape was a charred wasteland. A few months later, a unique team was brought in to help restore the damaged ecosystem. They have four legs and a penchant for careening at high speeds through the forest. Border collies Das, Summer and Olivia were outfitted with special backpacks brimming with seeds. Then they were sent on a mission, let loose to race through the ruined forests. As they bounded and darted, their packs streamed a trickle of seeds. The hope was that these seeds would take root and sprout, bringing the forest slowly back to life one tree at a time. Their owner, Francisca Torres started the project with the dogs in March 2017, returning regularly to the forest over the next six months. The border collies covered as many as 18 miles in a day and distributed more than 20 pounds of seeds. Their hard work paid off.

The worst thing in life is to end up with people that make you feel all alone. —Robin Williams (July 21, 1951 - August 11, 2014)
