An Iowa couple didn't let bad service prevent an act of restaurant kindness
When Makenzie and and Steven Shultz went out to dinner for their anniversary last Saturday night, they were disappointed by the slow service at the understaffed restaurant.

Both terrestrial telescopes and their orbital counterparts have some pretty significant limitations—ground based observatories must deal with the obscuring effects of the Earth's atmosphere and space telescopes are incredibly expensive to launch. But NASA's newest telescope will deliver space-quality observations at a Earth-bound 'scope price.
Jon Negroni's theory about beloved Pixar characters swept the Internet last summer when he provided an in-depth analysis suggesting every Pixar movie, from Brave to Ratatouille to WALL-E, took place in the same universe
While Negroni's theory was spectacular, it was extensive and complex. So the animators at Bloop deconstructed the concepts into a detailed 8-minute video to help visualize Negroni's complicated timeline
Still mind-blowing.
In February, 5-year-old Hannah Higgins was diagnosed with Wilms' tumor, and since then, she has undergone six months of chemotherapy, including radiation therapy and four surgeries. Wilms' tumor is a rare kidney cancer that primarily affects children.
Despite carrying the stress of the illness at such a young age, Higgins has managed to stay level-headed and focused on her recovery. In what she calls her "commercial" for cancer, Higgins shares her experience with other struggling cancer patients and urges them to be brave in the same way she has
In the video's closing moment, she says sweetly: "If you have cancer, don't worry, 'cause I am brave and you can be brave also." Read more...
