By keeping their farms running and paying their taxes and mortgages, he ensured the families didn't lose everything. He was even shot at for supporting them.

The dolphin dived and Enzo followed. At a depth of twelve meters trapped in a net there was another dolphin. After managing with his daughter to release it, as the two dolphins emerged they emitted an almost human cry (this is how Maiorca described it).

Dolphins can be held under water for up to ten minutes then drowned. The trapped dolphin was a female who soon gave birth.

The male surrounded them and standing in front of Enzo touched his cheek (like a kiss), a gesture of gratitude. Enzo finished his speech by saying:

′′ Until man learns to respect and communicate with the animal world, he will never be able to know his true role on this Earth. ′′

He got shot 5 times, saved 20 classmates inside the room, and went on to make a full recovery.

The island was called Moyenne and, at the time of purchase, had been abandoned for 50 years.

Everyone thought the man was crazy. Brendon eventually moved to the island permanently as its sole inhabitant.

While most people tend to buy islands for luxury, Brendon had a broader vision. He wanted to restore the island to its raw beauty, creating a natural paradise completely uncontaminated by man and tourism.

For the next 40 years, Brendon lived alone on the island; he managed to plant 16,000 trees by hand, built 5 km of nature trails and attracted around 2,000 new birds to the island.

Brendon had transformed a desert land into an island of incredible beauty, Moyenne was so beautiful that Brendon was offered 50 million dollars by a Saudi prince, but he turned it down.

Since Brendon died in 2012, the island has been owned by the Moyenne Island Foundation and is now a national park available to all thanks to his efforts.

She was captured by the Gestapo and while being interrogated, she disarmed the N**i detective and shot him in the head. In her attempt to escape, she ex**uted 2 more N**is.

French was the first black swimmer to receive the Navy medal of heroism in 1943.

When she was a young woman and still a s***e herself, her master had forced Harriet Tubman to help tie up a runaway s***e who had been recaptured. She flat-out refused, at great personal risk.

When the man ran away once more, she stood in the doorway, holding on to the doorframe and refusing to move an inch… an overseer threw a heavy piece of metal at her head, which damaged her skull and brain. For her entire life, she suffered severe headaches and could barely sleep.

And there she sits. Every bit the Queen she was. Her body is broken, mangled, aged. Her head in pain, tortured by never ending migrained. But she survived slavery. Helped many others survive it, too. And made it to old age in spite of it all.

At three weeks old, one twin went into critical condition. Her heart rate was soaring.

Her oxygen level was dropping quickly, and she was turning blue. The nurses tried everything, but nothing worked. They were about to lose her.

Then one nurse, Gale Kasparian, decided to put the stronger twin next to her sister in the same incubator, a novel procedure that had never been done before at the time in the US.

The standard practice at that time was to place twin babies in separate incubators to reduce the risk of infection.

Once the baby twins were together, the baby snuggled up to Kyrie, the stronger twin.

As soon as Kyrie put her arm around her sister, the vital signs, including breathing and heart rate of the weaker twin, instantly stabilized.

They called this the rescuing hug.

Without this rescuing hug, the weaker twin baby wouldn’t have survived.

The hug that changed medicine in the US.

Before he died, a Chinese student Yang told his mother that he wanted to return home from his studies in Japan and plant an entire forest.

He was worried about the environmental problem of his country and wanted to change something there. Because they lived in a desert-dominated part of China that was not accessible by car, "Inner Mongolia" seemed to him the ideal ground for afforestation and the realization of his dream.

Unfortunately, he soon died in a car accident. His mother Yi Jiefang gave herself the task of fulfilling her son’s wish, so for 20 years she continuously planted trees in the desert in the autonomous region of Inner Mongolia.

Through planting trees, she wanted to plant the seeds of hope for those who have experienced the loss of a child. In order to afforest, she sold her house in Shanghai and some other material things, and her son's insurance policy also helped her buy a lot of seeds and accessories for work. She said that she could not take the money with her, but that the trees would still remain, and together with her husband, she founded an entire organization that aims to green China as much as possible.

As the family grew, the older children got more responsibilities and Parton the fourth of 12 children had to look after her younger siblings. Today, she spends her millions on those in need.

In 1961, she and a group of Freedom Riders were arrested in Mississippi for "disturbing the peace" and held at a maximum security prison. There, Mulholland sat on death row before she was ultimately released. But despite the harrowing experience, she refused to abandon the civil rights movement. Months later, she became the first white student to enroll in the historically Black Tougaloo College. While there, she met Martin Luther King Jr. and participated in sit-ins at segregated diners, where she endured abuse from countless white supremacists and segregationists.

Though Mulholland is now 79 years old, she has remained active in modern civil rights causes as much as she can. "I'm not marching anymore," she said. "My knees have been operated on too much. But I can make signs. I can offer to put people up in my house."

His band would also provide equal pay and treatment for black musicians. It was through his relentless and tireless efforts that Las Vegas quickly became integrated.

In an interview in 2016, Frank Sinatra, Jr. had this to say about his father: "In the days when Las Vegas began to become popular, the black performers could play in showrooms, but they couldn't stay in the hotel. And it was Frank Sinatra who went to the board of directors, who had rather shady pasts, and he said, 'Are you guys going to come into the twentieth century, or aren't you?'... Somebody said 'Well, we have white people, we have black people." Sinatra, the story goes, said to them, 'The money is green. How about that?' And they began to look at each other, and the wheels were turning, and because of Sammy (Davis), Las Vegas became integrated.

The 23-year-old immediately sprinted to the scene, stripped down, and dove into the sewage-strewn water to save as many people as possible.

Despite near-zero visibility, Karapetyan swam 15 feet down to reach the trolleybus only to discover there was no open window. So, he decided to kick the rear window out, lacerating his legs in the process. Over the next 20 minutes, Karapetyan managed to bring 37 people to the surface, 20 of whom survived. Another nine escaped on their own through the window he'd broken open.

Karapetyan's heroism left him with permanently-scarred lungs after he developed pneumonia, and he spent the next three weeks in a hospital bed before he could walk again. But the following year, he participated in two final competitions — where he won a gold medal and broke his 11th world record — before retiring for good.

Most of the babies died or were k****d, but the ones with blue eyes were taken away. Only about 30 of the newborns delivered by her survived Auschwitz.

"In the Auschwitz camp, I also acted as a midwife, because many women in the arriving transports of prisoners were pregnant. I worked there day and night without a replacement, in the most terrible conditions. The maternity ward was generally infected, full of vermin, dirt, and infectious diseases.

There was a lack of water, which I had to fetch myself, and bringing one bucket of water to wash the mother and the newborn took about twenty minutes."

She is a candidate for sainthood in the Catholic church.

His only condition was that he wanted his beloved dog next to him even after death. The museum honored his request.

These hairstyles became escape route codes that helped the enslaved to flee.

Cornrows were used during slavery to help slaves escape. Slaves used cornrows to transport and create maps to flee plantations. It is most documented in Colombia where Benkos Bioho, a king captured from Africa by the Portuguese who escaped slavery, built San Basillio de Palenque, a village in Northern Colombia around the 17th century.Bioho created his own language as well as an intelligence network and also came up with the idea to have women create maps and deliver messages through their cornrows.

Her life is an inspiring story that will give you the strength to carry on through all your difficult days. Qian Hongyan has no legs. She lost them when she was 4 years old in a tragic accident when a speeding truck hit her and both of her legs had to be amputated. Her poor family could not provide her with prosthetic legs and so Qian learned to live and get by relying only on her own strength and with virtually no means.

Qian was provided with a basketball cut in half to balance her weight. Her hands became her strength.

The locals knew her as a basketball girl. After her photos went viral on the Internet, China Rehabilitation in Beijing offered Qian free artificial limbs.

Qian joined a swimming club for the disabled. At first, everything was difficult for her, but she continued to train and learn and became a successful athlete.

Qian wishes to compete in the Paralympics one day. Her success has turned her into a celebrity and she is a great inspiration for everyone around the world.

Upon his return to the United States after his release, Bent recited the names of about 256 fellow POWs who were being searched for by the US military.
Remarkably, Bent had memorized the names by associating them with the tune of "Old MacDonald Had a Farm," which he had used previously to hum during his captivity.

Consisting of young women aged just 17 to 26, they overcame extraordinary misogyny to fly some 30,000 deadly missions.

It was only then, upon cleaning the room out, that they discovered paintings. Drawings. Etchings. Writings, endless pages and papers… Darger literally created thousands of pieces of art.

A novel spanning nearly 15,000 pages. He had been incredibly productive, for well over sixty years. And most remarkable of all? He had never told a soul. He lived and died in Chicago, Illinois, and for his entire life, he kept his art a secret to the world.

Henry Darger lived for 81 years. Each day after he clocked out at work, he went home to create art at night. Hours upon hours of writing, revising, drawing, etching. He left no family and the landlord became a multi-millionaire selling the works. Darger is now one of the world’s most famous “outsider artists”. And died never knowing it.

The faithful dog had remained by her side for nine days, kept her warm, and ensured the hungry wildlife never got close to Karina.

Karina was reunited with her companion when she was released from the hospital.

Instead of warmly greeting Naida, Karina scolded the dog for leaving her alone, demanding to know why her companion would leave her in the wilderness all by herself.

However, as time went by, Karina was able to understand that the dog essentially saved her life.

In 1999, Anna Bagelholm was skiing in Sweden when she accidentally fell into a frozen river. She was stuck in the ice for over 80 minutes as rescuers struggled to free her. When they finally pulled her from the freezing cold water she was given CPR, and she was defibrillated, but the rescue team were sure she was dead.

It took two hours to get her to the hospital, by which point her body temperature was 56 degrees Fahrenheit. At the hospital she was connected to an EKG, which showed no signs of life, so doctors declared her clinically dead.

The doctors didn’t want to give up on her, so more than 100 medical staff worked in 9-hour shifts to try and revive her. Miraculously, they were able to warm up her blood and achieve a heartbeat. They then put her on a ventilator for the next 35 days.

Anna eventually woke from the coma but was paralysed from the neck down. She was angry with her friends at first for saving her life, but somehow managed to make a full recovery and now works as a radiologist.

The elite society event was known for showcasing the latest creations to the public, but no one had ever seen fashion like this before.

Dressed in blue, white and tan creations, according to the newspapers, spectators called the three women a "monstrosity", accused them of being half-naked and showing revolting cleavage. It was these three dresses, however, that forever changed fashion that day and launched the twentieth-century silhouette.

The creator was Jeanne Margaine-Lacroix, a young Parisian designer who had taken over her mother's historic fashion house and was starting to gain popularity in turn-of-the-century Paris for her corseted dresses featuring minimal boning and thicker material. elastic.

Long before Lycra or Spanx came along, she soon began making dresses made of stretch silk jersey, which outlined the hips and thighs and slimmed the figure. To present her creations to society, she hired three beautiful models and chose the Parisian runways of 1908 as her catwalk.

This 600-year-old painting is one of the most mysterious in history. That mirror at the back is just 3 inches wide — yet it reflects the entire room in immense detail.

Jan van Eyck's masterpiece is an ordinary portrait: Italian merchant Giovanni Arnolfini and his wife, Costanza.

Prince Randian was a Guyanese man who suffered from Tetra-Amelia Syndrome.

The syndrome is incredibly rare and is characterized by the absence of all four limbs. Because of this, Randian was "recruited" by American circus performer PT Barnum, and performed at many fairs across the country.

Despite his disability, Randian was able to shave, roll cigarettes, and use a pencil to write legible messages. Randian wore a one-piece woolen garment that fit snugly around his body, giving him the appearance of a caterpillar, and moved around the stage by moving his hips and shoulders.

He lived a long life in New Jersey and even fathered 3 children.

Christopher Thomas Knight, known as the North Pond Hermit, disappeared into the Maine woods in 1986 at age 20, seeking total isolation. He drove his car away from society until it ran out of gas on a dirt road, then hiked into the woods with no map or plan. For 27 years, he lived almost completely without human contact. Only once in the 1990's he encounted a hiker and simply said "hi". He survived by stealing food and supplies from nearby camps and cabins. His stealth and the sheer number of burglaries—over a thousand—turned him into a local legend, with many doubting his existence. Knight’s hidden life ended in 2013 when he was caught mid-burglary by a game warden that was determined to prove the hermit was real, revealing a story of solitude and survival that continues to captivate imaginations.
