A kind father lost about 57 kg in just six months after being shamed dieting when he became too fat to play with his young daughter. Chris Willis, 47, tipped the scales at 172 kg following a lifetime of fatty foods. But overweight Chris turned to dieting when he realized he was too fat to play with his ten-year-old daughter Sophie, who had a passion for running.
The determined dad cut out all the fatty foods he had enjoyed, and began exercising. He now weighs 105 kg after losing 10 kg every month since July. Chris, who lives in Shepreth, Cambridgeshire with his wife Jackie, 51, a coach driver, said, “The hardest thing was seeing my little girl in the garden and not being able to join in because I was so unhealthy. But now I am making up for lost time----we do so much together and it is just great.”
Chris used to consume an incredible 5,000 calories a day, before he switched to health y lifestyle. On average he would eat five slices of bread for breakfast as a midmorning meal before a full English breakfast. He would then eat a sandwich, a large pack of crisps and a pasty for lunch before chewing a whole packet of biscuits in the afternoon. For dinner Chris would demolish a curry（咖喱）and, ice cream, and also drink four pints of beer very quickly, before feeding on fatty snacks all evening.
Amazingly Chris claims he still eats the same amount----but has simply cut out the unhealthy fatty foods. Chris said, “My family and friends have been so supportive and my wife and daughter are so pleased for me. In fact it’s them that I did it for more than anyone else. The whole journey has been amazing and I am still shocked myself that I have managed to lose so much weight.” Chris is now aiming for a new target weight of 96 kg.

After being evacuated （疏散） from her Florida home following Hurricane Michael. Amber Ge was attempting to get an idea of the destruction left behind when she discovered a sign of trouble. As reported by ABC News, Gee was using NOAA's interactive aerial map（交互式航拍地图） to check the damage done to her and her family's homes when she spotted the word "H-E-L-P" spelled out in the yard.

Meanwhile, Gee says she is thankful that she was able to use the mapping tool to get her family to safety. "The hurricane has turned everything upside down everywhere.

Scott McKenzie and Jeremy Uhrich, two dads from Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, have transformed their passion for baking into a heartwarming community endeavor (努力). This journey began when McKenzie, 58, found himself laid off and decided to learn a new skill every week. Baking was one of these new skills, and he was pleasantly surprised by the quality of his first batch of cookies. Proudly, he shared his creation on social media, catching the attention of Uhrich, a longtime friend, who playfully challenged him to a bake-off (食品烘烤比赛).
Uhrich, 42, baked with his sons that same day and proposed a competition to McKenzie. The two agreed to let community workers in the community judge the treats as a thank-you for their help during the challenging times. The competition was a success, but McKenzie and Uhrich didn’t stop there. They decided to deliver the rest of the cookies to community workers, sparking an idea that would eventually become Cookies for Caregivers.
The timing couldn’t have been more crucial—the community had recently experienced a terrible earthquake, leaving many homes destroyed and families displaced. As part of the rebuilding efforts, Cookies for Caregivers was born. The Facebook group created by McKenzie and Uhrich allowed their neighbors to volunteer to make treats for first responders and business owners who were working tirelessly in the aftermath of the earthquake. Since the disaster struck, more than 100 people have joined the group, baking and delivering more than 15,000 cookies to workers at hospitals, grocery stores, fire departments, and more. Each week, bakers drop cookies off at Uhrich’s house, and he and McKenzie organize and deliver them to businesses in large containers.
The impact of Cookies for Caregivers has been profound. Uhrich says “they’ve seen a lot of smiles and tears during deliveries; people are so appreciative”. The project has brought together members of the community who may have never interacted otherwise, all with a common goal of showing gratitude to those on the front lines of the rebuilding efforts after the earthquake. McKenzie says “they plan on continuing the effort because they are immensely grateful for the selfless contributions and want to express their appreciation to as many people as possible”.
McKenzie and Uhrich’s message is clear: kindness doesn’t have an expiration date. In a time of uncertainty and rebuilding, they’ve shown that small acts of kindness can make a big difference. Their bake-off may have been just for fun, but the impact it’s had on their community is immeasurable.

Having established himself as one of the greatest magicians over the last three decades, David Copperfield remains hailed by audiences and critics because his magic still leaves most puzzles unsolved—not only for ordinary people but counterparts in the field of illusion（错觉）. He believes he’s remained at the top because of an undiminished passion for magic. “I’m among the few who are lucky enough to know what they want to do at early age,” he said.
Copperfield discovered an interest in magic at the age of 8 when he learnt some simple tricks from his parents who were both magicians. “When I showed those tricks to other kids, I found they all liked them very much, and they thought I was great. This made me very willing to learn new magic,” he recalled. “Such a feeling still supports me now. I like to see the audiences become amazed and go crazy for my performance.”
He began performing professionally at the age of 12 and became the youngest person to be admitted to the Society of American Magicians. By 16, he was teaching a course in magic at New York University. He was among the first magicians to pioneer the TV spectacular, helping boost the appeal for the craft（职业） worldwide,
His love for magic also turned him from a shy, timid boy to a risk-take r prepared to challenge limits. “Magic provides me a channel to express myself, just like singers through their songs and poets through poems,” he said, “And I think everyone needs to dream. Magic offers me the chance to make true my dreams and those of other people.”
Now 68, Copperfield has no thought of retiring from his beloved career. “I really enjoy what I’m doing. I enjoy the process of creating and sharing my creation with others. I dream that my career will last forever. Dreams aren’t a matter of chance, but a matter of choice.”
