Dad Loses Part Of His Skull After Drinking Too Many Energy Drinks

In a post (now deleted) shared on the Facebook page for Endres Photography, located in Sacramento, California, a woman who chooses to be known only as Brianna explained how excessive energy drink consumption led to her husband’s nearly fatal brain hemorrhage.

Brianna wrote that her husband, Austin, began to consume energy drinks “when he started working longer hours and commuting.” And, eventually, this proved life-threatening.

“I still remember my mother in law waking me up that morning,” Brianna wrote. “‘Austin had an accident’ she said. All I knew was that my husband was in the hospital. The worst part? I didn’t know why.”

She quickly learned that Austin had had a brain hemorrhage and that he was in a coma. After conducting a toxicology screening and ruling out drugs, doctors suggested, Brianna writes, that excessive energy drink consumption was the source of the problems.

Austin then endured a number of brain surgeries, as well as unexpected strokes, seizures, and swelling of the brain. It was presumably during these surgeries that doctors remove the frontal portion of Austin’s skull.

Meanwhile, at this point, Brianna was already nine months pregnant with her and Austin’s first child.

“I’m not going to lie to anyone, it was so hard. I had planned on Austin being a part of this huge moment,” Brianna recalled in her post. “Being by my side. Holding my hand. Being there to cut the cord. Being there to welcome our son into the world. It didn’t feel right…But a beautiful miracle happened as I delivered our son. Austin woke up.”

Though he had emerged from his coma, Austin still had a long recovery ahead of him.

“I prepare the meals, do physical therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy. I help him with personal hygiene. I help him walk. I help him with every aspect of his life,” Brianna says.

Despite these obstacles, the couple is still persevering. Brianna ended her Facebook post saying, “We are fighting to help him recover. To make his life better. One day we will get there. Until then, I will never give up on him. Because love is selfless, and I love him more than life itself.”

These 6 Dangerous Phone Apps Need To Be Deleted Immediately

SharkBot is a relatively new, and dangerous, bit of malware. It’s a banking trojan, first spotted towards the end of October 2021 by researchers from Cleafy. It exists to make money transfers from any compromised user, stealing credentials and banking information and having the capacity to bypass multi-factor authentication. New research reveals a total of six Android security apps, all of which had been available within the official Google Play store, were being used to distribute this nasty malware.

SharkBot takes a bite at Android antivirus app users

As reported by Bleeping Computer in March, NCC Group security researchers were the first to uncover a supposed antivirus app in the official Google Play store that was spreading the SharkBot trojan. The ‘Antivirus, Super Cleaner’ was permanently removed by Google soon after the NCC Group report was published. Now Check Point researchers have revealed that they found no less than six such infected apps, all posing as legitimate antivirus solutions for Android users.

Unmasking the Android antivirus app imposters

As well as the previously mentioned app, the list included: ‘Atom Clean-Booster, Antivirus,’ ‘Alpha Antivirus, Cleaner,’ ‘Powerful Cleaner, Antivirus,’ and two called ‘Center Security – Antivirus.’ After responsibly disclosing details of these to Google, all of them were permanently removed between March 3 and March 27. If you are among the thousands who downloaded any of these apps, and still have them installed on your Android devices, then you are advised to delete them immediately and check your bank statements for any unusual activity. Changing your banking passwords is also highly recommended.

“It is obviously very dangerous”

“This malware steals credentials and banking information. It is obviously very dangerous. Looking at the install count we can assume that the threat actor hit the bullseye for their method of malware spread. The threat actor strategically chose a location of applications on Google Play that have users’ trust.” Alexander Chailytko, the cybersecurity, research and innovation manager at Check Point Software, said.

Chailytko also pointed out that the fact the threat actors were using ‘push messages’ to victims that contained malicious links was both unusual and ensured widespread adoption.

“The use of push-messages by the threat actors requesting an answer from users is an unusual spreading technique,” Chailytko continued, “I think it’s important for all Android users to know that they should think twice before downloading any anti-virus solution from the Play Store. It could be SharkBot.”

Check Point Research has published a full and detailed technical analysis of the SharkBot campaign.

What does Google have to say about the SharkBot apps?

I reached out and asked how these apps were able to evade detection and make it into the Google Play store, to which a Google spokesperson provided the following statement: “We appreciate the work of the research community, and when we find apps that violate our policies, we take action.” Google did confirm that all of the apps in question have been removed.

Church Leader Attacked By Lions After Trying to Prove God Would Intervene

After running straight toward a pride of lions in order to prove the “Lord’s power over animals,” a church leader allegedly had “his buttocks mauled” by a lion.

A Zion Christian Church prophet, Alec Ndiwane was on a safari when he was allegedly attacked by lions. He reportedly provoked them to inspire faith in the members of his church.

The man reportedly fell into a trance and began speaking in tongues before “charging at” a pride of lions in South Africa’s notable Kruger National Park. The man is lucky to have left the scene with his life, because sprinting toward a pride of lions who are busy eating a previous victim is obviously not a good idea.

Mr. Ndiwane reportedly began to flee the scene after he realized a miracle wouldn’t exactly save him, but one of the lions bit him straight in the ass first. He didn’t die, he was just literally bit in the ass.

He was saved from even more serious injury and certain death by the game ranger who fired a couple shots from a gun, not at the lions but to scare them off, as reported by GhanaWeb.

Ndiwane said:

“I do not know what came over me. I thought the Lord wanted to use me to show his power over animals.

‘Is it not we were given dominion over all creatures of the earth.”

The victim went through emergency surgery at the hospital, got some stitches and was discharged after what seems like not too much time.

However, this entire story may not be true because William Mabasa, a Kruger National Park spokesman reported that park officials are not even aware of such an incident taking place in the park. William Mabasa said: “It would have been reported to us if any of our rangers had taken part in this incident as reported.”

Vigilante Teen Kills Pedophile Who Sex Trafficked & Raped Her – Faces Life In Prison

A 19-year-old sex trafficking victim is currently facing life in prison for killing the man who sexually abused her since she was 16.

According to police, Chrystul Kizer was among at least a dozen underage victims who were abused and filmed by Randy Volar without their consent. In fact, these videos were discovered by police four months before Volar was shot and killed.

Volar was reportedly arrested in early 2018 on charges of child enticement, using a computer to facilitate a child sex crime, and second-degree sexual assault of a child. Police recovered photo and video evidence of him abusing multiple underage girls, including Kizer. However, for some unknown reason, Volar was released the very next day without bail, allowing him to continue his abuse.

Months later, on June 5, Kizer shot Volar twice in the head before setting his body on fire and leaving the scene in his BMW. She was later found by police in nearby Milwaukee and linked to the murder through the vehicle. She eventually confessed after giving officers multiple explanations of her innocence.

District Attorney Michael Graveley, who failed to bring Volar to justice for his crimes against children, decided to charge Kizer with first-degree murder, carrying a potential life sentence, arguing that the killing was premeditated. The district attorney’s office has even attempted to hide the evidence of abuse from the defense, arguing that it was not relevant to the case.

Kizer says that she was drugged by Volar on the night of the incident and that he was attempting to rape her when she shot him in self-defense. Earlier this month, a judge ruled that she would not be able to use an “affirmative defense” law which allows victims of sex trafficking to claim self-defense in situations like this.

According to a report from the Washington Post, Volar and Kizar met online through an escorting website and began a somewhat consensual relationship, despite the fact that Kizer was just 16. Volar was extremely generous at first, giving her expensive gifts as well as money to take home to her family. However, he quickly became more controlling of her and eventually began taking over her life and finances, positioning himself as her pimp.

When Kizer tried to distance herself from Volar, he became more aggressive.

“He had started to talk violent and stuff. I was going to stop talking to him, and he said if I did that he was going to kill me,” she told investigators.

A month before the shooting, another man that Kizer was involved with, Delane Nelson, gave her a handgun to protect herself in case Volar decided to follow through on his threats.

Then on the week of the shooting, Kizer became distrustful of Nelson, and with nowhere else to go, ended up back at Volar’s house. She says at some point during her visit she realized that she had been drugged, and Volar began touching her. She does not remember many details about what happened next, but vaguely remembers the gun going off. She says she does not remember starting the fire, which is what ended up bringing police to the scene.

A final search of Volar’s home and assets found computers with a large number of child exploitation videos and photos in which he can be seen having sex with girls who were as young as 12. Investigators also found a bank account with $1.5 million in transfers, which is likely tied to his trafficking and child pornography activities.

In early 2019, Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam granted clemency to Cyntoia Brown, a woman who spent the last fifteen years in prison for a murder she has consistently maintained was an act of self-defense, according to the Mind Unleashed.

These ‘before and after’ photos are proof that giving up alcohol can dramatically affect one’s health and appearance.

Drinking alcohol might seem like the normal or ‘hip’ thing to do, but consuming it in excess over time can take a toll on one’s health. Effects of excessive alcohol consumption include increased risk of heart problems and stroke, damage to the liver and inflammation in the body, and an increased risk for cancers. In addition, alcohol is more likely to adversely affect a person’s attitude and behavior compared to substances such as caffeine or even marijuana.

While alcohol in moderation can be healthy – such as a glass of wine once or twice a week, the issue is that many people have little to no self-control when it comes to the amount of liquor they drink. Additionally, overconsumption of alcohol can negatively affect a person’s appearance.

Just take a look at the before and after photos below! It’s incredible how different people look after they’ve given up alcohol and adopted healthier lifestyles. In fact, some of these individuals don’t even look like their former selves! If you or someone you know struggles with alcohol abuse, perhaps pass this article on to inspire them to kick the habit so they can live a happier, longer life.
