It's one thing to see a kid skateboarding. It's another thing to see a little girl skateboarding that breaks the stereotype. Seeing Peggy Tobin is another matter altogether.

Paige is a 6-year-old skateboarding miracle from Australia. A recent video of her falling into a 12-foot bowl went viral on the Internet, whether for the feat itself or for her style. She wore a pink evening dress, a leopard helmet and rainbow socks, and she didn't look like a skater fell into a 12-foot bowl. However, when she came, people's hearts were blown up.

For those who may not fully appreciate the impressive feat, here are some points. My brother, an adrenaline junkie, who has been skateboarding since he was a child, riding a bicycle on rugged hillsides, shared this video and commented: "If I fall into a bowl twice my age, then It will be my first and last time to do this...this fearless kid has a bright future!"

It is scarier than it looks, and it looks very scary.

Page doesn't always dress like a princess when skating, it doesn't matter. Her talents and skills on the board attracted people's attention. (However, rainbow socks are her trademark.)

Her Instagram feeds are full of photos and videos of her skateboarding and surfing, and the physical coordination skills she acquired at such a young age are really great.

Here, she is three years old:

She is four years old:

So, if she falls into a 6-foot bowl at the age of three, and a 12-foot bowl at the age of 6, does she have an 18-foot bowl to deal with at the age of nine?

Page obviously likes skating and has high ambitions for the skating world. "I want to participate in the Olympics, I want to be a professional skater," she told Power of Positivity when she was five years old. She seems to be already moving towards this goal.

How did she become so good? Well, Paige's mother gave her a skateboard before she was still in school, and she loved it. Her mother accepted her lesson and she has been skating almost every day for the past three years. She practiced at the local skate park and participated in local competitions.

She naturally has quite a few leaks, and you can see some of them on her Instagram channel. Falling is part of exercise-if you don't fall, you can't learn. Overcoming the fear of falling is the key and the most difficult thing for most people to overcome.

Perhaps Paige was too young to let fear overwhelm her desire for skating. Maybe she was taught to control her fear, or she was born less fearful than others. Or maybe there is something magical about rainbow socks. Whatever it is, it is obvious that this girl will not let fear prevent her from doing what she wants to do. Anyone has admirable qualities, but it is especially noticeable in such a young person.

Come on, Page. Your perseverance and courage are inspiring, and so is your unique sense of fashion. Can't wait to see what you are going to do next.

Two donkeys are better than one-"Teach the donkey repeatedly."

You may know what it means to hit hay, knot or buy lemons. Maybe you have killed two birds with a stone today, a piece of cake effortlessly. But for people who don’t speak English, using these phrases might make you sound crazy...or should I say lunatic?

This is the interesting thing about idioms. They change according to the time, place, and culture where they were created. In other words, they are generally ridiculous to anyone except the people who usually use them.

Seeing the alternation of phrases in different languages ​​can help us see the world through different eyes. Does the man look impressive at the party?

Imagine that next time you can add more Lithuanian, instead of saying "It's raining cats and dogs", you can say "It's raining". How metal is that?

It could also be rain, barrels, barrels, pipe stems, frogs, female trolls, fire and brimstone...it depends on where you are from.

Some of these idioms from all over the world are very meaningful. Others lost their way in the translation, and you couldn't help being pink.

"Nu ska du få dina fiskar värmda."

Literal translation: Now your fish will warm up.

This is another way to say that someone is in trouble, or their "goose is cooked".

There is absolutely no shortage of Swedish in the threat department. They also have a proverb, "nu har du satt din sista potatis", which means "now you have planted the last potato".

Imagine hearing Batman say "You planted the last potato, Joker." It did not achieve the desired effect.

"Avere gli occhi foderati di prosciutto."

Literal translation: The eyes are lined with ham.

Let Italians have phrases related to food. You can use it when someone cannot see what is in front of them. It can also be used when someone is blinded by love. Sadly, there is no such thing as "ham-colored glasses".

"Að leggja höfuðið í bleyti."

Literal translation: bury your head in the water.

You would say this when you "need to sleep" or "put on your thinking hat." This is interesting because I can’t understand that immersing my head in water will give me any mental clarity.

Literal translation: Repeat teaching the donkey.

Practice makes perfect, but this is especially true for donkeys. The best wisdom with animals as the theme.

Literal translation: I only know train stations.

This is another way of saying, "It's all Greek to me".

The history of this period is a bit mysterious. One theory is that it originated from the fact that there was only one thing after the soldiers were discharged from the hospital in World War I: going home. Meaning, they can only comprehend the train station leading there. Others say it refers to tourists who have just arrived in Germany, who really only learned the word "train station" in German. This shows that everything else is foreign to them.

Let us not forget "nicht mein bier, nicht meine sorgen", which means "not my beer, not my troubles".

(Fun fact: "Not my circus, not my monkey" is actually derived from a Polish proverb, not an English proverb at all.)

Literal translation: speak directly from the liver.

When you say something without icing, you speak directly from the liver. This can be traced back to the time when the liver was considered a magical organ for courage. So speaking from the liver is like speaking from the heart, just a little bit down and to the right.

Literal translation: horse and horse, tiger and tiger.

You can use it to express something just fine. Not bad, not bad, it's just... well.

It is said that a Chinese painter, his craftsmanship is not very good, he painted an animal that looks a bit like a tiger, a bit like, you guessed it, a horse. This story actually has a tragic ending, as a cautionary tale against carelessness. But now it has a more relaxed connotation.

Just like "comme ci, comme ca" in French, "so-so" is not as common as non-native speakers think.

Language is still an evolving and always interesting way not only to appreciate other cultures, but also to notice similarities. The language may change slightly, but in the end we are all expressing the same thing.

"I am assisting my brother in our community."

Tanya Whitaker's life motto is a large part of why she is so passionate about helping those in need in the Clinton, Maryland community. It boils down to a painting by Gilbert Young called "He is not heavy, he is my brother".

"I know I need to do something to help break down the systemic barriers and build bridges not only for the disadvantaged, but also for the underserved," Tanya told Upworthy. "I am assisting my brother in our community."

Tanya has been committed to promoting underserved communities in almost every aspect of her life. She works in the Vocational and Technical Education Department of the District of Columbia State Education Director, helping students achieve goals they don't even know are possible. She explained that this work provided information for the development of her non-profit organization "Skills Today for Tomorrow Development Center" (STAT DC), which aims to "promote economic mobility and social progress in low- and middle-income communities."

Even before launching STAT DC, Tanya felt that it was necessary to help people get what they needed, regardless of their situation. This became especially obvious to her during the pandemic, which made more people need food and/or shelter. She said: "My experience in this pandemic is that all economic boundaries have become blurred."

One thing that really stood out to her was how many children starved because of school closures during the pandemic.

"The United States faces the fact that most of the nutritional needs of most school-age children come from schools," Tanya explained. "Without this exit, parents are forced to enter the food line that they never thought would be part of their daily or weekly needs."

To meet the needs she saw, Tanya created a large network of volunteers to provide food for the homeless in her community. Just like in her daily work, she is the manager who makes this happen, from organizing donations, deliveries, and all other parts of the work required to perform such a huge task on a regular basis. "I have a group of very dedicated volunteers," Tanya said. "Without such a group, it would be impossible to be this big." Even her 78-year-old father was involved.

She often does not have enough funds to cover the cost of her food distribution program. Thanks to the donation from the TD Bank #TDThanksYou event, she should be able to continue working during the holidays-when food insecurity and homelessness were most common in the United States, "This directly affected the daily operations of food delivery. What the public did not see was Our daily expenses to achieve this goal," Tanya said.

TD Thank You is an annual event of TD Bank, which aims to support customers, colleagues and communities by giving back to them in a meaningful way. This year, the #TDThanksYou event in 2021 focused on the stories of people who spread positivity and optimism in the community without asking for anything in return. Tanya's work seems to meet the requirements.

Tanya's team distributes food every Thursday, but this means that the organization and packaging of food must begin on Tuesday. Food is assembled into parts, non-perishable, meat, dairy products, frozen food and agricultural products. Thursday is often the busiest day because they usually receive unexpected foods that need to be sorted. After all the food was sorted, they began to assemble them into bags and prepared the bags for distribution.

With the help of many companies, Tanya is able to maintain such a large-scale food distribution work. She made these connections by knocking on the door.

When she realized that a nearby shopping mall and its parking lot had been vacant, she had a relationship. "I drove around the parking lot until I found a door to a security office. I knocked on an empty room that seemed to be abandoned and met my good angel, Ms. Carolyn Martin, the Landmark of Howard Hughes. The property manager company in the shopping mall sector."

Tanya explained her mission to provide food for the homeless. The next day, Ms. Martin welcomed her to use a parking lot in the mall for free.

"As individuals with a sense of social responsibility, we must not wait for government plans or'knights in shiny armor' to come to the rescue," Tanya said.

People like Tanya use compassion and enthusiasm to fight food insecurity, homelessness and economic inequality every day. They were not waiting for the "knights" to come to rescue; they just picked up the well-known swords themselves.

When Lily Evans started walking the dog, she didn't know that the story of that dog walking would go viral on the Internet.

When she recounted her experience on Twitter, she started with a simple question that many men have been wondering about for a long time-even though women already know the answer.

(Before you click into the thread itself, please note that Lily's Twitter account is for adults, which may be NSFW.)

All Twitter images from Lily Evans/Twitter, used with permission. Transcripts of excerpted tweets are available at the end of the story.

Walking started normally. Until she met a stranger who seemed friendly.

A man eating on a nearby bench gave her dog Echo a treat.

He eventually asked her if she lived in the area-which could be considered a bit intrusive-but all in all, it was just small talk.

But not long after, she ran into him again.

Evans said that his friendly joke-maybe innocent, but more likely not-made her very uncomfortable.

However, he continued to linger.

Then he invaded her physical space with a ubiquitous hug.

"I am scared," she wrote.

Evans hurried home, terrified that the man would follow her.

He didn't. But this experience shocked and disturbed her. Worst of all, she said, she has experienced it many, many times before.

Her story quickly became popular, with more than 44,000 reposts, 68,000 likes, and thousands of comments.

"The reaction of other women is heartbreaking," Evans wrote in a Twitter exchange with Upworthy. "Many, many women use this opportunity to share stories about their harassment, attacks, and even fears."

The replies to Evans’ tweets are filled with similar stories—people who appear to be “good” on the street or on public transportation, who take small talk far beyond acceptable limits.

Although she is happy that her story allows other women to express their experiences more comfortably, Evans hopes that it will also impress men who read it.

"I received a lot of replies from men, and they said,'Oh, I'm sorry that this happened, but we are not all like this! Some of us are good people,'" she said. "Although this is true, my opinion is that strangers cannot know your intentions until it is too late.

She pointed out an important point: It is not inherently wrong or creepy to talk to strangers, but women really never know when a simple "hi" will turn into being stalked and harassed.

"I have a few people asking me how I can make them less threatening, and this is my goal," she said. "I just want to make men more self-aware and understand that when a woman they don't know is timid, it has nothing to do with the individual. We just want to ensure safety."

Gynecologist’s trade tool.

When depicting a doctor’s office, you may not imagine the warm atmosphere. Those very cute fluorescent lights immediately came to my mind.

Imagine if the doctor told you, "I want to design our visit in a way that makes you most comfortable." Suddenly, the annual check-up doesn't sound that scary after all.

Dr. Ryan Stewart, a urologist at the Midwest Pelvic Health Center, recently asked women to participate in the redesign of his office.

We posted this question on Twitter and wrote: "I have the opportunity to design my office from scratch. I am asking women. How would you design/optimize the visit to the gynecologist’s office? No details are too small. "

His tweet starts with "If I ever had a tweet worth going viral, this is it."

The boy is right. His tweet received thousands of replies almost immediately. It turns out that there are many ways to improve visits to gynecologists.

Empathy for sexual trauma recognizes that the history of sexual trauma can make many people psychologically unbearable for exams. I would feel safer if it weren't rejected because "everyone needs these exams, it's no big deal". this is a big problem! Empathy will help increase our sense of security and reduce avoidance. -Kara K. (@karabear_1) December 5, 2021 This includes starting an exam, asking the patient if there is any trauma, rather than eliminating discomfort, according to the commenter. Improving privacy. No one should discuss any aspect of their care with anyone (I think it is a nurse or a receptionist) within the range that other patients can hear. In addition, the patient should not be able to listen to the phone or dictate. You won't believe what I heard when I was sitting. -Erin MacLean, MD OB/GYN (ret'd) (@macdoin) December 5, 2021 As part of improving privacy, many people advocate not to be asked when the intern is still in the room and the intern can observe. "It's hard to say no to them," one person wrote. Another added: "I was sitting on the table in a dress and [the gynecologist] brought this young man in and said,'Do you mind if he observes this?" I agreed, but I've been very angry ever since. Did not return to her. Someone mentioned that their current doctor recently replaced the thin exposed paper gown with a spa-style gown, which increases privacy and adds a bit of luxury.

Acknowledging a history of sexual trauma can make many people psychologically overwhelmed. I would feel safer if it weren't rejected because "everyone needs these exams, it's no big deal". this is a big problem! Empathy will help increase our sense of security and reduce avoidance.

According to reviewers, this includes asking the patient if there is any trauma at the beginning of the examination, rather than ignoring discomfort.

No one should discuss any aspect of their care with anyone (I think it is a nurse, a receptionist) within the range that other patients can hear. In addition, the patient should not be able to listen to the phone or dictate. You won't believe what I heard when I was sitting.
