Black – Deep-Seated Fears and Emotional Burdens
Our subconscious mind has a way of communicating with us through the things we notice first. Colors, in particular, hold deep emotional and psychological significance, often linked to our inner struggles and suppressed feelings. The first three colors you see in this image could reveal what’s truly weighing on your heart and mind. Let’s explore what each color might signify and what it says about your hidden concerns.

Red – Intense Emotions and Unresolved Anger

If RED stood out to you first, it may indicate suppressed anger, frustration, or deep-seated resentment. You might be holding onto past conflicts or experiencing an internal battle between expressing your emotions and keeping them contained. It’s important to find healthy ways to release your tension and address the root of your stress.

Blue – Overwhelming Sadness and Loneliness

Seeing BLUE first suggests that you might be dealing with emotions of sadness, isolation, or a longing for peace. You could be feeling overwhelmed by responsibilities or struggling with personal relationships that leave you feeling disconnected. Consider seeking out meaningful connections and allowing yourself to express your feelings openly.

Yellow – Anxiety and Fear of Uncertainty

If YELLOW catches your eye, it might indicate underlying anxiety and concerns about the future. You could be feeling uncertain about a major decision or dealing with self-doubt that prevents you from moving forward. Acknowledge your fears and try to focus on embracing the unknown with optimism and confidence.

Green – Emotional Healing and Inner Conflict

GREEN is often associated with healing, balance, and personal growth. If this was one of the first colors you noticed, you might be struggling with inner conflicts related to relationships or self-acceptance. You are likely in a phase of healing and transformation, but you may need to give yourself more time to process past wounds.

In a surprising and significant shift in international trade dynamics, a key nation has made an unexpected offer to remove all tariffs on U.S. goods. This development, revealed by President Donald Trump, could reshape the economic relationship between the two countries, with potential long-term effects on the global trade landscape.

The offer came after the U.S. imposed substantial tariffs on this nation’s exports, creating an economic standoff that had the potential to escalate into a trade war. However, with a strong desire to avoid further punitive measures, the country’s leader proposed a bold and immediate solution that could have far-reaching implications for both nations involved.

In a social media post, President Trump described a recent phone call with the nation’s leader, who expressed a willingness to eliminate tariffs entirely if a trade agreement could be negotiated. This unexpected offer was seen as a major concession, signaling a significant shift in the nation’s approach to trade relations with the U.S.

Trump’s announcement sparked immediate reactions across the financial markets, particularly from companies that manufacture goods in the country. Shares in major corporations like Nike, which have substantial operations in the nation, rose significantly.

Anyone who’s had children has likely seen them suffer from eye infections now and then.

But when Michelle Saaiman took a closer look at her son’s eye, she made a horrifying discovery.

Thought it was a April Fool’s joke
A heart-wrenching story has emerged about a little boy who’s facing the terrifying reality of losing his eye after contracting herpes in his cornea from a kiss.

It’s every parent’s worst nightmare — watching their child suffer from something they never expected.

Michelle Saaiman, from Namibia, noticed something unusual in her 16-month-old son, Juwan’s eye last August, initially thinking it was just an eye infection. But when antibiotic drops didn’t work and the infection worsened, a specialist confirmed the unimaginable: Juwan had contracted herpes simplex virus (HSV), likely from someone with an active cold sore kissing him around his eye.

The diagnosis left Michelle and her husband in shock.

Michelle told Metro, “The doctor was telling me there’s a fever blister growing in my child’s cornea. I was literally looking at the doctor wondering whether it’s April 1, because I thought it was an April Fool’s joke.”

Why his eye ”melted away”
Sadly, the herpes caused so much damage to Juwan’s cornea that he became completely blind in that eye. Juwan’s eye began to “melt away” as the natural lubrication was lost, and a 4mm hole opened up. At one point, doctors feared he might lose his eye completely.

“By that time, the herpes just caused so much damage that he essentially lost all feeling in the eye, and he could not see anything,” Michelle shared. “It meant the brain did not recognize the eye anymore and stopped sending signals to the eye. The gel later protecting the eye evaporated, and the eye dried out.”

To give their son a fighting chance, Juwan’s parents flew him to Cape Town for specialized treatment.

The toddler underwent amnion graft surgery in hopes of saving his cornea. His eyelids were stitched together as a precaution, and the family is planning another major surgery in April to transfer nerves from his leg to his eye. If successful, this procedure will pave the way for a cornea transplant next year.

Despite all he’s been through, Michelle says Juwan has been incredibly brave. “Juwan is such a trooper, he’s really just always had a smile on his face. But he was in severe pain,” she said. “It is not fair for such a tiny human to go through all that.”

Uncertainty and challenges
At first, Michelle and her husband were understandably “really, really angry” at the person responsible for passing the herpes virus onto their son.

“Both my husband and myself, we were just angry with whoever was so selfish to kiss my child in his face with an active fever blister,” Michelle said. “Kisses come from a place of love. So whoever gave him this, I’m sure it wasn’t done intentionally or with any idea to do him harm.”

The family’s journey has been filled with uncertainty and challenges. Juwan’s parents had to navigate weeks of medical procedures, including contacting experts in New York for the right medication. They lived in constant fear that the herpes could spread to his brain or his other eye.

Although the virus has been somewhat contained, the damage to Juwan’s eye is irreversible, and his parents are still fighting to save his vision.

Raising awareness
Michelle is raising awareness about the serious risks of spreading the herpes virus and how something as seemingly harmless as a kiss can cause irreversible harm.

”A fever blister is supposed to be on your lips or in your mouth,” she said. ”I’ve never in my life heard of a fever blister growing on someone’s cornea.”

She wrote a lengthy post on Facebook about the incident, which has since gone viral. A fundraiser has also been set up to help with the astronomical costs of Juwan’s treatment, which include flights to South Africa and expensive medication.

If you feel compelled to help, Michelle says every contribution makes a difference. ”It’s been a long, hard road, and we’re doing everything we can to save our son’s eye.”

Many are likely aware that you should keep your distance from young children when you’re sick, something that became even more evident during the pandemic years.

However, it’s easy to forget, and sometimes people just want to show love to little ones or give them a light kiss. But in this case, things went horribly wrong, and it’s important to remind others of the risks.

This story serves as a powerful reminder to always be cautious about spreading viruses, especially around vulnerable children. We’re keeping our fingers crossed for brave and wonderful Juwan — he and his family need all the strength we can send their way!

Tensions between the U.S. and Canada are escalating, and newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney isn’t holding back. In a powerful victory speech, Carney directly criticized President Donald Trump, accusing him of trying to “break” Canada and take its land, resources, and sovereignty.

Carney, a former banker with no prior political experience, led the Liberal Party to a surprise comeback in the 2025 election, taking over after Justin Trudeau’s resignation. In his first address, Carney warned that Canada must prepare for global uncertainty and resist U.S. pressure.

His remarks followed Trump’s controversial statements, including calling Trudeau the “Governor of Canada,” suggesting Canada should become the 51st U.S. state, and claiming the U.S. spends $200 billion annually to support its neighbor. These comments, alongside trade tensions, have sparked outrage and a patriotic response across Canada, with millions voting early and many boycotting American products.

Carney emphasized unity and self-reliance, vowing to stand firm in any future talks with Trump. “We are over the shock of the American betrayal,” he said. “But we will never forget the lessons.”

We all do silly things as kids. After all, part of growing up is learning when to say no to something that sounds dangerous.

Unfortunately, children are susceptive to peer pressure and the like; even the most intelligent of youngsters can be coerced andfmconvinced to partake in stunts that promise dire consequences.

Just ask the parents of 11-year-old Tyler Broome, who suffered horrific injuries after trying a YouTube craze known as ‘the roundabout of death’.

Yes, the name alone pretty much tells you the salient facts of the matter, but for Tyler it wasn’t so much an incredibly dangerous stunt as a way to show his friends how fearless he was.

The 11-year-old thereafter sustained injuries consistent with those seen in fighter pilots, after bein subjected to extreme gravitational force (G-force).

The craze he participated in – known as the ’roundabout of death’ – sees participants sitting in the middle of a playground roundabout whilst it’s spun at high speed using the rear wheel of a motorcycle.

Shortly after the ordeal, Tyler was found unconscious near the roundabout, left with possible damage to his brain and vision.

Extreme force
It’s believed he was subjected to the sort of G-force usually only encountered by pilots and astronauts.

It’s reported that Tyler was at a local park with a friend when they were approached by a group of older teenagers who dared them into the game.

Terrifying ordeal at the playground
“I don’t recognise my child – he is on the verge of having a stroke. Tyler sat on the roundabout, and the boy who came over was about 17. Tyler doesn’t know him, they are not friends,” his mom Dawn said, per British newspaper The Independent.

“He puts his motorbike on the floor, gets the roundabout spinning at such a speed. When they all stopped, the group just cleared off – it is bullying.”

Dawn claimed that hospital staff had never seen such injuries and had to do research before they were able to begin treating her son.

“The injuries were so extreme, he just looked like the Elephant Man. They have never seen it before, they are going to make a medical report from it.

“His head has completely swelled up, his blood vessels have burst, his eyes look alien. His vision is blurry. You can manage a broken arm but this? He doesn’t remember it, he doesn’t remember the detail.”

Parents, please always bear in mind that children are susceptible to trying things we adults would stay well clear of, particularly on the playground.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to young Tyler and his family. Share this story to spread the warning over an incredibly dangerous game.

On April 26, Donald Trump attended Pope Francis’ funeral wearing a bright blue suit, standing out from other dignitaries dressed in black. His choice of attire sparked criticism online, with many calling it disrespectful.

The Vatican’s dress code for papal funerals requires men to wear a dark suit with a black tie, but Trump wore a white shirt, a blue suit, and a light blue tie, breaking the protocol.

Social media erupted, with some users accusing him of drawing attention to himself. Others, however, suggested his blue suit could symbolize “rebirth, sovereignty, authority,” reflecting his non-Catholic background, as did Prince William and India’s President Murmu, who also wore blue. While Trump’s choice raised eyebrows, it may have been a faith-based or personal preference rather than a deliberate act of disrespect.

Have you ever noticed a coin stuck in the door handle when you were walking toward your car? It’s a strange and confusing feeling. After questioning if this was just an unusual accident or if it had some kind of significance, many have reached this conclusion. It turns out that this is a sneaky way for robbers to get inside autos. Hold on tight, because I’m going to walk you through how to use this cunning strategy to stop those annoying car thieves. Hold on tight, because we are going to learn how to do our own auto security!

Smart auto thieves usually target the side of the vehicle where the passenger is situated when they jam tiny coins into the door handles. Having said that, why is there a button on the passenger side door? The issue is that the central locking system entirely breaks down when you try to use your key for it. Why? That seemingly harmless penny became stuck in the passenger door, preventing you from completely locking your car.

Now let’s introduce a little intrigue. Car thieves have more evil intentions than merely being careless kidnappers. Perhaps the thief is waiting for you to give up or get distracted as you’re fumbling with your key to open your car, lurking in the shadows.If a car owner who is proficient with do-it-yourself tasks thinks someone has tampered with their car door, what should they do? Don’t worry, here are some useful do-it-yourself tips to keep the car from being stolen:

A mom faced pregnancy challenges but chose love over fear. Discover her inspiring journey to a healthy baby and renewed happiness.

Pregnancy is often a time of joy and anticipation, and for Olesia, the announcement of her pregnancy was a dream come true. Like countless women worldwide, she was thrilled to embark on the beautiful journey of bringing her baby into the world.

Throughout her pregnancy, Olesia attended regular ultrasounds, and all appeared normal. But during one critical scan, her world shifted when doctors identified abnormalities in her baby.

The baby’s hands were not developing as expected, and some organs appeared swollen. The devastating news left Olesia and her husband, Eugen, heartbroken. However, despite their sorrow, the couple never considered giving up on their child. Their love for their unborn baby was unwavering.

The doctors were transparent, explaining that raising a child with these challenges would require life-altering adjustments. They even suggested adoption as a practical option, emphasizing the emotional and physical toll that caring for a special-needs child could bring.

Still, Olesia and Eugen stood firm. They assured the medical team that they were ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead. They signed papers acknowledging their understanding of the situation, but their resolve remained unshaken.

Instead of succumbing to despair, Eugen channeled his energy into preparing for their baby’s arrival. As Olesia focused on maintaining her health, Eugen set to work on creating a warm and loving nursery for their child.

Months later, the couple welcomed their daughter, Nadejda, into the world. To everyone’s surprise and relief, she was born in excellent health. It was later discovered that Olesia’s ultrasounds had been affected by a large uterine fibroid, which had caused the abnormal results.

A family in Thailand was astonished recently when a massive 12-foot python emerged from their toilet. The incident, which happened on March 17 in Samut Prakan, shocked everyone in the household. Housewife Suwi Paramas was horrified when the enormous snake materialized out of nowhere as she was cleaning her hands in the restroom.

A wildlife crew was called to the location, and emergency services were contacted as well. Even with their best efforts, they were unable to successfully remove the snake. In the end, they had to take apart the plumbing in order to remove the snake securely.

“I was incredibly afraid. I was unable to even observe the reason behind their snake-catching. I could have died from it, Suwi said.



Fortunately, no one was harmed during the procedure, and the snake was saved with plans to release it back into its native environment. Such instances have happened before in Thailand, where during the warmer seasons snakes seek cover in cool, wet places.

An eight-foot python bit a man in a bathroom in 2021, and a man’s genitalia were bit in a similar event in 2016.

In recent years, several studies have shown that the bacteria in our gut are linked to our overall health.

These gut bacteria can affect our mood, how we handle stress, and our chances of getting autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis and type 1 diabetes.

A new study in The Journal of Immunology gives new information about how gut bacteria might be connected to autism.

According to the World Health Organization, autism is a range of brain development conditions that affect how people interact and communicate with others.

Further, WHO states that people with autism “often have co-occurring conditions, including epilepsy, depression, anxiety and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder as well as challenging behaviours such as difficulty sleeping and self-injury.” The intellectual capacities of these people wary from one individual to another.

The research suggests that our mother’s microbiota has greater influence on us developing autism than our own.

“The microbiome can shape the developing brain in multiple ways,” John Lukens, lead researcher and PhD student from the University of Virginia School of Medicine, said in a statement.

“The microbiome is really important to the calibration of how the offspring’s immune system is going to respond to an infection or injury or stress.”

One important piece of this puzzle may be a molecule made by the immune system called interleukin-17a, or IL-17a. This molecule is known to play a role in diseases like psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis, and helps fight fungal infections. But it also seems to affect how the brain develops before birth.

To study this, scientists used mice with different types of gut bacteria. One group had bacteria that caused a strong immune response involving IL-17a, while the other group did not.

When scientists blocked IL-17a in the baby mice, both groups showed normal behavior. But once the treatment stopped and the mice grew naturally, those in the first group started to show signs linked to autism, like repeating certain actions.

Later, the researchers took poop from the first group and gave it to the second group through a fecal transplant, which passed the inflammation-causing gut bacteria to them. As expected, the second group of mice also began showing autism-like behavior.

While researchers have only conducted the study on mice, it does provide a foundation for further research that could determine the extent the mother’s gut health contributes to the development of neurodevelopmental disorders.
“In terms of translating our work to humans, I think the next big step would be to identify features of the microbiome in pregnant mothers that correlate with autism risk,” Lukens said. “I think the really important thing is to figure out what kind of things can be used to modulate the microbiome in the mother as effectively and safely as we can.”

While blocking IL-17a also might offer a way to prevent autism, Lukens said it comes with certain risks. “If you think about pregnancy, the body is basically accepting foreign tissue, which is a baby,” he said. “As a result, maintenance of embryonic health demands a complex balance of immune regulation, so people tend to shy away from manipulating the immune system during pregnancy.”

He suggested there are plenty of other molecules to explore, as IL-17a is just a tiny part of a much bigger picture.
