Teen Stops To Shovel Snow For Man In Walker
As we slowly trudge through winter, with spring’s warmth still over a month away, it seems like cold, snowy days are only getting worse. Snow, while charming for the first few weeks, becomes a major hassle over time. People living in areas with heavy snowfall have to clear it off their sidewalks, roads and windshields before going about their days. In 2014, one Chicago resident discovered that he’d shoveled an impressive 25 tons of snow in a single winter – that’s a lot of snowmen. Shoveling snow is back-breaking work for someone in good shape and near-impossible for someone suffering from a physical ailment. Clarence Coleman, who’s 76 years old and relies on a walker to help him move around, knows just how difficult it can be to shovel snow. Coleman doesn’t have anyone living with him to help clear the snow that blocks his driveway. Despite the exhausting chores waiting for him outside, he remains pretty positive about his circumstances. “It takes me a while, but I’ll get it sometime,” Coleman told Virginia reporters. Thankfully, he didn’t go without help last winter. In February of 2015, 18-year-old Tommy Adams was driving with his mother when he noticed Coleman struggling to clear the snow in front of his house. Tommy urged his mother to stop the car without a second’s hesitation. Tommy works as a snow shoveler, which means it’s probably the last thing he wants to do on his day off, but his mom raised him to look out for those around him. Tommy and his mother are both thankful they stopped to help that day, bringing a little warmth to Clarence Coleman’s cold winter. Check out the video below to learn the full story behind this incredible act of kindness. Read more: http://www.wimp.com/teen-shovels-snow-tommy-adams/

Dublin Airport Gets Treated To A Riverdance Flash Mob
If there’s one name that’s come to represent Irish dancing on a national level, it’s “Riverdance.” Riverdance first debuted in 1994 as a part of the Eurovision international song competition. While most people think of it as one distinct style of dance, Riverdance is actually a huge theatrical production that incorporates multiple styles of Irish dance, weaving its rich history with modern production techniques. Riverdance primarily features step dancing, which can trace its roots all the way back to the 1700s. Incredibly, these forms of traditional Irish dance survived all that time and made their way into mainstream entertainment. Thanks to Riverdance, they are still touring the world today. Back in 2013, when the world was still sick with a case of “Flash Mob Fever,” a group of dancers surprised the Dublin airport with a rousing medley of traditional Irish dances. For those of you who don’t remember, or were living under a rock for all of 2013, flash mobs involve a group of people putting on a “spontaneous” performance in a public space. Here, the cast of “Take The Floor,” a production associated with Riverdance, wows spectators at the Dublin airport with dances choreographed to the lovely music of Beoga. I’m sure everyone in the airport immediately rushed to purchase tickets for one of Take The Floor’s upcoming shows. Take The Floor takes their name from the term used to describe dancers stepping onto the stage. Their performance in the Dublin airport proves that truly talented dancers don’t need a proper stage to do what they do. Even if it’s in the middle of a crowded airport, if there is a floor, they’ll take it. H/T: Take The Floor Read more: http://www.wimp.com/riverdance-dublin-airport-flash-mob/

Cat Gets Kisses From A Koi Fish
Who doesn’t love a good cat video? Well, mice, probably. But any humans? Didn’t think so. Even dog lovers can appreciate feline antics from the safe viewing distance YouTube offers. Speaking of YouTube, Timo the rag-doll cat’s antics have been enjoyed by YouTube viewers for years now, and for good reason. His attempts to keep his predatory instincts sharp always come off a little more adorable than Timo probably intends. Just take this video. Timo clearly wants to make a meal out of at least one of these goldfish. But all anyone can do is say “awwwww” as he bats at the water. The koi fish, for their part, aren’t helping matters much. Swimming right up to Timo, at least one of them gives him a fishy peck on the lips. That turns the cuteness factor up another notch. Poor Timo. If only he had the fishing skills of a bigger cat. Maybe, say, a fishing cat? Fishing cats are an actual species of cat, known by their scientific name, Prionailurus viverrinus. These formidable anglers are much more effective at this particular pasttime than housecats, and up to 70% of their diet is, you guessed it, fish. Koi on the other hand, are a pretty unusual fish. What most of us know as koi are actually a subspecies of regular old carp. Nishikigoi is the true name of these beautiful fish, which translates as “brocaded carp.” They might seem like some mysterious and ancient breed of fish due to their association with the very formal water gardens of Japan. Actually, they were only developed as a breed in the 1800s. Before that, carp was simply a dull, grey fish people used for food. Read more: http://www.wimp.com/timo-rag-doll-cat-koi-kisses/
