Oaklynn Schweder’s safe return brings cheers and a wave of relief to her BC community.
For three days, Gail Skin endured every parent's worst fear. Her six-year-old daughter, Oaklynn had gone missing from their small northern British Columbia of Southside. The young left her home on September 19th, and the search effort, spanning over 72 hours, drew widespread attention throughout the province.
On Sunday evening, just after 6 p.m., Oaklynn was discovered by a volunteer search team in a dense forested area near her home, much to the relief of everyone involved. Staff Sgt. Joshua Smith from the Burns Lake RCMP captured the moment's emotions, saying, "[This is] the outcome that we all hoped for."
You just put them in pockets?
How do hospitals transport newborns in an emergency evacuation?
It’s just one of those things you never think about, unless of course you’re a nurse.That’s why people are usually shocked to find out how it’s actually done.
Like this mom, for instance, whose TikTok handle is @momma1323. In a clip posted to her account, she admitted to being “freaked out” as she showed an oversized vest (aka an evacuation apron) with pockets large enough to fit…let’s say, a baby…inside.
This actually makes a lot of sense.
Typically our society views New Years as the time for carving out new beginnings. But a now-viral TikTok trend called the “October Theory” argues that this month is actually just as good for recommitting to our goals—which can be great news for folks who have lost a little steam as the year’s end approaches.
As the theory goes, October can elicit a lot of the same feelings of self-reflection that January does. But the key difference—and benefit—is that with October you can act on whatever insights you’ve gathered while you still have a substantial 90 days left with the current year.
Brandon is beloved in the community.
Service workers help our communities run more smoothly, but their contributions can often go unrecognized. In some instances, however, people in service jobs become household names and beloved fixtures in their community.
A UPS driver named Brandon is apparently one of those people in Red Wing, Minnesota.
