It’s well-known that women have and will be artist’s deepest inspiration. So, the reason this Italian Photographer Alessio Albi creates thoughtful portraits of young women which have colorful, expressive and deep signature by only using natural light sources and outdoor settings for majestic effect.
Does this look like a nice piece of heaven, or what?
“Some of you, particularly those who think they have recently lost a dog to ‘death’, don’t really understand this. I’ve had no desire to explain, but won’t be around forever and must.
Dogs never die. They don’t know how to. They get tired, and very old, and their bones hurt. Of course they don’t die. If they did they would not want to always go for a walk, even long after their old bones say: ‘No, no, not a good idea. Let’s not go for a walk.’ Nope, dogs always want to go for a walk. They might get one step before their aging tendons collapse them into a heap on the floor, but that’s what dogs are. They walk.
It’s not that they dislike your company. On the contrary, a walk with you is all there is. Their boss, and the cacaphonic symphony of odor that the world is. Cat poop, another dog’s mark, a rotting chicken bone (exultation), and you. That’s what makes their world perfect, and in a perfect world death has no place.
However, dogs get very very sleepy. That’s the thing, you see. They don’t teach you that at the fancy university where they explain about quarks, gluons, and Keynesian economics. They know so much they forget that dogs never die. It’s a shame, really. Dogs have so much to offer and people just talk a lot.
When you think your dog has died, it has just fallen asleep in your heart. And by the way, it is wagging its tail madly, you see, and that’s why your chest hurts so much and you cry all the time. Who would not cry with a happy dog wagging its tail in their chest. Ouch! Wap wap wap wap wap, that hurts. But they only wag when they wake up. That’s when they say: ‘Thanks Boss! Thanks for a warm place to sleep and always next to your heart, the best place.’
When they first fall asleep, they wake up all the time, and that’s why, of course, you cry all the time. Wap, wap, wap. After a while they sleep more. (remember, a dog while is not a human while. You take your dog for walk, it’s a day full of adventure in an hour. Then you come home and it’s a week, well one of your days, but a week, really, before the dog gets another walk. No WONDER they love walks.)
Anyway, like I was saying, they fall asleep in your heart, and when they wake up, they wag their tail. After a few dog years, they sleep for longer naps, and you would too. They were a GOOD DOG all their life, and you both know it. It gets tiring being a good dog all the time, particularly when you get old and your bones hurt and you fall on your face and don’t want to go outside to pee when it is raining but do anyway, because you are a good dog. So understand, after they have been sleeping in your heart, they will sleep longer and longer.
But don’t get fooled. They are not ‘dead.’ There’s no such thing, really. They are sleeping in your heart, and they will wake up, usually when you’re not expecting it. It’s just who they are.
I feel sorry for people who don’t have dogs sleeping in their heart. You’ve missed so much. Excuse me, I have to go cry now.”

There is a interesting spot on the internet which holds few galleries to explore and one of them starts with this…
“Like a sentry standing proudly on the Black Sea, the Constanta Casino calmly contemplate the horizon, recalling the most glorious hours. More important port city in Romania, Constanta is located at the crossroads between East and West.”
It’s unique heritage now is concentrated on Constanta casino, built between 1904 and 1910 by architect Petre Antonescu Romanian which has become the symbol of the city. Many people who wanted to float their money in very (un)usual way have given this place its full shine, but as the two world war happened – the very same place has spontaneously reversed its purpose into a restaurant. The easily noticeable and impressive décor inspired by the marine world and decorations recall the almost rococo nowadays are waiting for renovation and a third chance for life.
Check how it looks like through the Romain Veillon’s eyes, which claims that this place will be the Black Sea’s pearl once again.

After watching her go through all of the sessions, he knew he had to propose to her when it was all over. “I wanted it to be a symbol or closing the chapter of cancer in her life and opening a new chapter with our lives together,” Lucas said.
“I called the nurses to see if they could help me out and keep it a secret because I was going to propose to her. All the nurses LOVE Tamara so they were more than happy to help,” Lucas said.
“In those 20 minutes everyone in her room, about 30 of us, all frantically removed the Hollywood decorations and put in the balloons, set up the candles on the floor and put a pathway of red petals that led up to where I would be,” Lucas said.
Lucas planned for fireworks to go off outside the minute she said yes, and everything went as planned.
Sometimes, in the hustle and bustle of life, it’s easy to lose sight of yourself. When juggling work, family, housekeeping, and bills, it can be tough to make yourself a priority.
That’s why I love personality quizzes. Not only are they a fun way to relax, but they’re a great way to stop, breathe, and remember what makes you you! With just one simple question — like “What color are your eyes?” — a world of self-reflection is instantly opened to you.
So when I saw this quiz about your fingernail shape, I was really excited. Who knew that the look of your nails could say so much about your personality? I tested myself and my best friend (I’m a “1,” and she’s a “7″), and both hit it right on the nose…
What is your nail shape? Were your results as accurate as mine? Let us know in the comments below!
When it comes to work, “measure twice, cut once,” is your motto. You examine situations and problems from every angle, and you strive to always do the right thing. You’re meticulous and detailed, and you think everything through, right down to the nitty-gritty.
Because you’re such a studious person, you tend to enjoy building and crafting. You love creating new things and having your hard work pay off. You value usefulness over beauty, and you love thinking up clever solutions to tricky problems.
There are few things you love more than a new challenge. Adventurous, bold, and fearless, when you set your mind to something, you never back down. Some might say you’re a bit pig-headed, but you can’t help it if you know what you want!
If your life had a motto, it would be, “Still waters run deep.” Though you often look placid on the surface, there’s a storm of feeling and thought brewing beneath. Because of this, when you speak, others listen. Your friends know they can always turn to you for the truth — even if it sometimes hurts.
Never one to take shortcuts, you’re always willing to do whatever it takes to get a job done — but that doesn’t mean you don’t know how to relax and have a good time. You might seem like a work horse, but there’s a fun-loving soul inside who loves a good party.
Are your nails pointed and a bit triangular? This means you are a bold, decisive person who always knows what they want. You’re passionate and stubborn, so some might say you’re a firebrand — but you’ll take that as a compliment. You always know exactly what you want, and you’re not afraid to ask for it (or just get it yourself).
When it comes to a work, your motto is, “Work smart, not hard” — so you tend to really think things through before approaching a task. But when it’s time to get started, you blaze right through it. Your hard work always pays off and looks great.
Some might say you tend to take on too much, but really, staying elbow-deep in projects makes you very happy — especially when it benefits others. You love to love, and you give with all your heart. You put your whole self into what you do, and that shows.
It might seem backwards, but your motto should be “play hard, work harder.” When you’re having fun, your work ethic skyrockets, so you strive to make your tasks as enjoyable as possible. Because of this, nothing you do is boring.

Meet Christian McPhilamy, just a regular 8-year-old boy from Melbourne, Florida. Except that for the past few years he has been doing something incredible, and arguably out of the ordinary for a boy his age.
In all started during Christmas 2012, when he saw a TV commercial for St. Jude’s Children Research Hospital featuring young cancer patients without hair.
His curiosity sufficiently piqued, he and his mom looked up the hospital during one of their nightly Googling rituals. When an ad for a hair donation charity popped up, he asked his mom what it meant. She explained that people can donate their hair to cancer patients who have lost theirs from chemotherapy.
“And he said, ‘I want to do that,’” his 28-year-old mother Deeanna Thomas recalled. “I was blown away.”
“Even out and about or at a park, he would be playing with a bunch of boys and they’d be like, ‘you look like a girl.’ And he would just explain to them. He held his head high and he never once said that he wanted to cut it off ever,” Christian’s mom added.
When one man confronted Christian about his ‘too-long hair’ and told him he needed to do something about it, Christian kindly let the man know of his mission. He offered a heartfelt apology right away.
“It’s definitely inspiring to see kids starting so young with wanting to help and do good deeds,” said Christine Wong, COO of Children With Hair Loss, a charity that provides free wigs to kids who have lost their locks for various reasons such as cancer, alopecia, and burns. Wong estimates that only 1 in 50 donations to the organization come from boys.
“My hands were shaking. My heart felt like it was going to explode,” Thomas said about the haircut. “It was just incredible.”
For Christian, it was a simple act and nothing more: “I just wanted to give a wig away.”
Alexander and Jeanette Toczko, an elderly couple in California that had been married for 75 years, recently passed away in each others’ arms within less than a day of each other, professing their love for each other until the very end. Their last loving embrace was documented by their bereaved daughter Aimee Toczko-Cushman.
Alexander (95) and Jeanette (95) ‘dated’ since they were 8 and married in 1940. Several weeks ago, Alexander suffered a broken hip and became bedridden. Jeanette also fell ill, so a local hospice provided them with care beds where they could lie in each others’ arms.
