One week after the triplets’ birth, Sarah began to feel sick. The lengthy adoption process and preparing for the arrival of triplets took its toll on the Justices, so it wasn’t out of the ordinary that Sarah thought she should visit the doctor. After all, she wanted to make sure she was healthy by the time the babies came home to ensure that she would be well enough to take care of three newborns. Sarah went through an extensive evaluation with her doctor to find out if she was well. When her doctor came back with the results, Sarah could hardly believe it! The doctor conducted many tests to find out why Sarah was feeling sick. Eventually he discovered the reason. He told Sarah that she wasn’t necessarily sick, but in fact, she was experiencing the symptoms of pregnancy. That’s right, Sarah was pregnant! This was certainly a shock to the Justices, especially since they had just adopted triplets. Of course, it was incredible news. As stressful as it was going to be to raise three newborn triplets during a pregnancy, Sarah was prepared for the challenge! Little did they know at that point that their blessings weren’t going to end there. After years of trying to conceive and unsuccessful fertility treatments, Sarah Justice was convinced that she was barren. She and Andy had forgotten about trying to conceive naturally when they decided to go down the adoption route. But the news of Sarah’s pregnancy was a welcome surprise and it didn’t end there. A few months into the pregnancy, the Justices discovered that Sarah was pregnant with twins! News that they were giving birth to more multiples was astounding, especially since they now had to grapple with the fact that they were about to raise five babies at once. Instead of getting stressed out over it, Sarah and Andy Justice saw the humor in the situation and decided to roll with the punches. After all, this was an incredible blessing after years and years of trying. When they finally took their triplets home, they did the only thing they could and continued to move forward. Sarah and Andy had the unique experience of raising three newborns and experiencing a pregnancy for the first time all at once. It was as if the universe was paying them back for holding out on making the Justices’ dream come true. A few months before the triplets turned one year old, Sarah went into labor. After a long delivery, Sarah and Andy welcomed their twins, Andrew and Abigail. Now, they were a happy family of seven with five beautiful babies to raise. Life for the Justices was finally looking up and they were excited for what was in store with their growing family. Adjusting their family to accommodate two newborns was probably a smooth process since they had months of practice with their triplets. Of course, it was definitely a lifestyle adjustment for Sarah and Andy, who lived with just each other for so long. Many new parents experience a lack of sleep with just one newborn, so imagine how sleep deprived the Justices might have been with five of them! Thankfully, they had the loving support of their family and friends to back them up. Even the community chipped in to help the Justices adjust to life as new parents. Tulsa’s Eastland Baptist Church helped donate food to the growing family by cooking them meals and providing baby formula. Sarah and Andy were blessed to have their community come to their rescue, and food wasn’t the only thing that they helped out with. It wouldn’t be out of line to describe the Justice’s situation a miracle. When word of their growing family spread, people who were complete strangers even felt compelled to help these new parents. While friends and family offered to babysit while Sarah and Andy went back to work, there was also an incredible outpouring of support from all over Oklahoma. Strangers sent the Justices diapers, bottles, clothes, and blankets. With five newborns on hand, the Justices expected to go through more than 200 diapers and at least 84 bottles a week! There were some definite changes that had to be made in order for the Justices to adjust to life with five newborns. Sarah and Andy had to shift their personal schedules to center around their babies and they also had to invest in a bigger van. One of the biggest challenges for the Justices, however, was being able to tell their babies apart. Sarah and Andy’s trick for this was to paint each baby’s toe nails a different color. They used this system for quite some time until the babies began developing distinct personal features and personalities. Sarah and Andy Justice’s story is certainly one for the books. Like most things this remarkable that happens in the digital age, the Justices’ story went viral. It first gained attention on Facebook, but after their story was shared enough times, more and more people grew obsessed with this miraculous story. The Justices gained a huge following as people from all over the world wanted to see pictures of the children as they grew up. Their followers also looked forward to updates about the babies’ lives. Just as things were about to settle down, however, something else happened to the Justices. By the time the Justices’ story went viral, the triplets and the twins were already toddlers. But it was at this point that the family got another bit of huge news that would change their lives yet again. Sarah discovered she was pregnant again! As overwhelming as it seemed, the Justices were thrilled and took the new challenge in stride. After all, a new newborn would be easy after already having raised one five times over. Sarah welcomed their sixth child, a boy, in 2016. She told Today: “We just really love having these children.” The triplets and the twins were already about two years old by the time the Justices received news that their sixth was on the way. One more baby was a piece of cake, considering that they had just spent a couple years raising five of them. If anything, some people might consider that it was easier, given the fact that it was just one baby as opposed to multiples! Of course, parenting is a journey no matter how many children you have. With a total of six children in their household, the Justices were met with some unique challenges. Having eight people under one roof can get pretty crazy at times. Unfortunately for Sarah and Andy, they don’t have the luxury of some of their kids being old enough to take on some of the responsibility. But this was seemingly no issue for the new parents who had wished and prayed for so long for just one miracle. With triplets Hannah, Joel, and Elizabeth, and twins Abigail and Andrew, they were quite happy to welcome their sixth baby. The parents often take their children on outings despite how difficult it might be to keep track of everyone.

Die Woord waarsku ons om gasvry te wees, want dit mag Engele wees wat voor jou deur staan, en werklik, die Here Jesus omring my met Engele... Engele in die vorm van my kinders en kleinkinders. Delia stuur vir my boodskappies soos.. "Ouma, ek en jy gaan môre koekbak, dit sal jou gelukkig maak". Ja Right!, sy meet en mors en ek keer en ruim op. My familie, my vriende en vriendinne. Hierdie Engele gee my kans om my holrug geryde storie oor en oor te vertel, soos byvoorbeeld: Ons het een aand na 'n dokumentere oorsig oor die10 dag oorlog wat Israel gevoer het gekyk, en soos gewoonlik maak ek weer so 'n simpel opmerking soos "Jy beter lank lewe, as jy doodgaan, trou ek 'n Joodse Generaal". Daai lyf van my het hom bloedig vir my vererg… Moshe Dajan was nog altyd my held gewees en ek het al daarvan vergeet. In die hospitaal het hy vir ons almal gebid en ons opdragte vir ons gegee, maar ek kan sien daar is nog iets op sy hart, en in my wese weet ek toe dadelik wat dit is... dit is die Joodse Generaal!!!!! Wel, ek kon toe darem vir hom gerusstel en uitwys dat dit nou volgens my vinnige statistieke 1 uit 'n miljoen kans is…'n Joodse Generaal in Walvisbaai ontmoet en trou… dis nie eers amper moontlik nie... My engele neem my vir ontbyt, vir middagetes vir kinderpartytjies.. dankie julle almal.. dankie vir elke drukkie wat ek kry... dankie vir elke woordjie van bemoediging... dankie vir elkeen wat so meer as bereid is om saam met my die "sunny mountain" stap vir stap te klim... Mag ek julle nooit in die steek laat nie… Geseende naweek vol sonskyn vir almal.. In 2016, Sarah and Andy welcomed their youngest son Caleb into the mix. By this time, the triplets and the twins were nearing four years old. You can bet that the Justice household was pretty busy at this point. While Caleb was a newborn, Sarah and Andy hardly had to worry about their first five kids, who were already about to complete the process of potty training. As the first five children were beginning to grow and gain some agency, it came as a welcome relief especially since Sarah and Andy were about to raise anoth er newborn. Being overwhelmed was perhaps the last thing on Sarah Justice’s mind at this point. After all, her heart and her home was now filled with more love than she had originally asked for. In an interview with Babyologyin 2016, Sarah said, “Having a number of children is a dream come true. When you wait for something you appreciate it that much more when you get it.” Sarah and Andy certainly waited for this moment for a long time. Imagine how happy they were when it finally happened for them! They were so grateful to finally have their dreams come true. Sarah and Andy may have had to adjust their sleep schedules, but eventually the time came for their children to do the same. In 2016, their kids were graduating from their cribs and beginning their transition into toddler beds. Sarah told Babyology, “Having five in toddle beds is an adventure. But we are getting there.” Just imagine having five young children adjusting to a bed without walls. Not only do you have to worry about them falling, but now they have the ability to get out of bed themselves. This can be frustrating, especially when you tell them to go to sleep. Raising six infants at once is no easy feat, especially when that is your life for 24 hours a day, seven days a week. How do the Justices do it? The most important thing for them was to get extremely organized. Everything about their day is planned out on a schedule. Schedules are crucial, especially when you’re raising a big family. It is also an easy way to keep track of everyone. Days start with a morning walk, followed by playdates with friends or relatives. In the evenings, the family takes on chores together. You can only be so organized, however, before a wrench is thrown into your plans. For Sarah, potty training was that wrench. “Potty breaks are a big part of our day when you have five children at the same life stage,” Sarah said. This can be pretty stressful, depending on how you handle it. Trying to potty train one kid is challenging enough, but when you’re doing it for five at once, you’re probably prone to an accident or two. It’s not like all the childrens’ toilet needs are in sync, but at least they have the bond of going through this together! One amazing benefit to having to so many children – especially if they’re relatively the same age – is not having to worry about any one child feeling left out or alone. All of the Justice children will have each other, in addition to all the friends they are bound to make when they start going to school. The Justice siblings will have a close bond like no other. “We never lack playmates and work to promote love and care between the siblings. Our children will always have a friend and will never need to feel lonely, Sarah told Babyology. By the time baby Caleb entered the mix, the Justices were more prepared than they were when their first five came home. It was definitely less stressful. They went from over 300 bottles a week to just a few, since they only had one newborn to feed. As for whether the siblings would take to their newborn baby brother kindly, Sarah says that they have so far. “All of the kids absolutely adore their ‘baby Caleb.’ He has the best fan club ever and we cannot imagine life without the sweetest, most loved little guy in the world,” Sarah said. After all has been said and done, Sarah and Andy Justice can rest easy knowing that their prayers have been answered. Knowing that they struggled for years, it’s incredible to learn how their story played out in the end. For their part, they are truly happy and blessed to have the big family that they always dreamed of. “They bring a great deal of joy to our lives and we enjoy watching them love life,” Sarah told Babyology. The story of how the Justice family came to be only goes to show that life rewards patience in the most incredible ways.

Marissa Laliberte You might think your hiding spot is safe, but burglars know your tricks. If you’ve thought of the freezer as a sneaky hiding spot, chances are a robber has, too. A burglar won’t rummage through your entire stack of frozen peas and fish sticks, but if you leave your treasures in something out-of -place, such as a sock, the thief will be onto you. “If you’re going to put something in the freezer, you want to put it in with something that looks legit, like wrapping it in a bag that used to have blueberries in it,” says Siciliano. Use the same rule of thumb if hiding anything in a pantry. Just give a loved one a heads up so that if anything happens, your valuables won’t be trashed with the rest of your food.

VIDEO: https://youtu.be/n2nljsjeaNs Hand skating enthusiast Mirko HanĂ&#x;en (Germany) has rolled his way into the record books by achieving the record for the Fastest 50 m hand skating in just 8.55 seconds. Mirko's impressive feat was achieved in Bocholt, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, on 16 November 2017. Mirko used his trusty K2 Mach 100 skates to achieve the record. It was organised with the help of the city of Bocholt, and friends were invited to watch the attempt.

The time was measured with two light sensors at the start and finish line, as well as with an old fashioned-tape measure and stopwatch. The attempt was driven by Mirko's desire to appear in Guinness World Records 2019. "After I was part of some TV shows I want to make the next step and be part of the famous Guinness World Records book." Mirko's training for hand skating began four years ago, when he decided to take the next step in his skating and try it upside down. "With a lot of tough training I learned more and more, for example to skate on one hand and to jump over a ramp" Mirko explained. The sport requires a high level of physicality, and only with dedication and training can a person learn to maintain balance.

Andy Simmons

She glanced down at his phone and saw that he was texting, “Hey Babe, I’m sitting next to a smelly fatty.” Soon after Savannah Phillips got buckled into her window seat on a United Airlines flight from Oklahoma to Illinois this past May, she glanced over at her seatmate. He was in his 60s, wore bright yellow sunglasses, and was busy texting. The font was unusually large and the screen was bright, making it easy for Phillips to read what he was tapping out: “Hey Babe, I’m sitting next to a smelly fatty.” “It was like confirmation of the negative things I think about myself on a daily basis,” the 33-year-old mother wrote in a Facebook post after the flight. Soon tears streamed down her cheeks as she hugged the cabin wall, trying to make herself as small as possible. Sitting a row behind them and across the aisle was Chase Irwin, a 35-year-old bar manager from Nashville, Tennessee. He could see the man’s texts, too—and he could see Phillips. “I noticed her looking at his phone,” Irwin told wsmv.com. “I was sick to my stomach. I could not have this guy sit next to her this whole flight and her thinking he’s making fun of her,” he told Nashville’s NewsChannel 5. In an instant, Irwin had unbuckled his seat belt and was hovering over the texter. “Hey, I need to talk to you,” Irwin told him. “We are switching seats—now.” When the texter asked why, Irwin said, “You’re texting about her, and I’m not putting up with that.” The texter acceded quickly. Irwin took his place next to Phillips and was soon cheering up his new seatmate. “He encouraged me not to let that guy get to me and that everything was going to be fine,” Phillips wrote. And he was right. She and Irwin spent the rest of the flight chatting like old friends. With her faith in humanity restored, Phillips wrote on Facebook, “The flight attendant told him that he was her hero. He wasn’t her hero—he was mine.” 8

Tina Donvito Why do some people seem immune to colds and flu? They press elevator buttons with their elbow. Everyday mistakes can raise your risk of catching a cold—and that includes touching surfaces that many, many other people have touched. A University of Arizona study found that a virus spreads to over 50 percent of surfaces and other employees within hours when a single person in an office is infected. Partha Nandi, MD, a leading physician and author of Ask Dr. Nandi, advises avoiding touching common surfaces when possible. Even after you wash your hands, “use a paper towel to turn off the faucet,” he says.

Teresa Dumain You gotta look before you flush, ease up when you wipe, and, yes, there is a right way to hang toilet paper. You’re big on bleach On its own, it’s fine: add ¼ cup into the toilet bowl and let it sit for a few minutes to disinfect before you clean. But if bleach is mixed with ammonia, toxic gases called choloramine are created, which can cause coughing, wheezing, nausea, or watery eyes; or at higher concentrations lead to chest pain, wheezing, or pneumonia. Using it in tandem with certain toilet bowl cleaners, drain cleaners, and even plain old vinegar is no better: the combination of chlorine bleach and acid gives off a toxic chlorine gas that can cause burning eyes and breathing problems in small amounts, and be fatal at high levels.

YOU WILL NEED: • One small empty plastic soda or water bottle • 1/2 cup of vinegar • Small balloon • Baking soda • Funnel or piece of paper WHAT TO DO:  Carefully pour the vinegar into the bottle.  This is the tricky part: Loosen up the balloon by stretching it a few times and then use the funnel to fill it a bit more than half way with baking soda. If you don’t have a funnel you can make one using the paper and some tape.  Now carefully put the neck of the balloon all the way over the neck of the bottle without letting any baking soda into the bottle.  Ready? Lift the balloon up so that the baking soda falls from the balloon into the bottle and mixes with the vinegar.  Watch the fizz-inflator at work! HOW DOES IT WORK? The baking soda and the vinegar create an ACID-BASE reaction and the two chemicals work together to create a gas, (carbon dioxide) Gasses need a lot of room to spread out and the carbon dioxide starts to fill the bottle, and then moves into the balloon to inflate it. MAKE IT AN EXPERIMENT: The project above is a DEMONSTRATION. To make it a true experiment, you can try to answer these questions: Does water temperature affect how fast the balloon fills up? Does the size of the bottle affect how much the balloon fills? Can the amount the balloon fills-up be controlled by the amount of vinegar or baking soda?

PUTTING YOUR TEETH THROUGH A TEMPERATURE ROLLERCOASTER Lambeth Hochwald Are you chomping a pencil right now as you read this? Stop—right now. Or so say our experts who want you to protect your pearly whites. There’s something about pairing pizza and a cold drink—whether that’s a soda or beer—that seems like a great idea but can also set your teeth up for trouble as the hot temp expands your tooth enamel and the cold temp contracts it. “Eating hot and then cold foods won’t damage teeth per se but many people will notice exaggerated sensitivity with this combo,” says Leslie Renee Townsend, DDS, regional dental director for the Jefferson Dental Clinics in Dallas of tooth sensitivity that affects about 45 million people. “Keep in mind that a shooting or sharp pain while eating or drinking is a sign of a much greater problem such as a cracked tooth or advanced decay—this isn’t something you should ignore.” One solution: Consider eating your pizza with a knife and fork and blowing on it first to tone down the temperature.

THE “HAIRY HAND” Lauren Cahn Lawyers actually have a lot of fun doing what they do! You’ll never look at a court of law the same way again! A young man named George had surgery to correct an ugly scar on his hand. The surgeon grafted skin from George’s chest onto his hand… except George had a hairy chest…so now he had a hairy hand as well. George sued the surgeon and was awarded “the difference in value between a 100 percent good hand… and a hairy hand.”
