A screaming goat in Ottawa\u2019s west-end got its head stuck in a fence, and raised concerns a child was in distress.<\/p>\n
Ottawa Police were called after a resident heard what he believed was a child calling for help. The caller said the sound was coming from a wooded area in the north end of his property.<\/p>\n
Officers searched but didn\u2019t find anything. After speaking with a woman at a neighbouring home, Police say the woman\u2019s husband came in and said his goat had been screaming earlier.<\/p>\n
It turned out the curious animal had its head stuck in a fence.<\/p>\n
______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n There’s a 55-year-old guy named Bruce McConville in Ottawa.\u00a0 And he’s been in a long court battle over paying spousal and child support to his ex-wife.<\/p>\n Well, he was in court recently and told a judge he’d sold some properties and businesses for around $1 million.\u00a0Then he withdrew that in cash . . . and set the money ON FIRE to keep it away from his ex-wife. And his kids, I guess.\u00a0The judge said quote, “How does destroying over a million dollars advance your child’s best interest?”\u00a0 But Bruce says he did it out of frustration with the divorce. Oh, by the way, Bruce said he didn’t take a video of the cash on fire, he didn’t have any witnesses, and he doesn’t really have any proof.<\/p>\n The judge told him, quote, “You understand that’s hard to believe” . . . and sentenced him to 30 days in jail to, quote, “rethink” what happened to the money.\u00a0 He also fined him $2,000-a-day to go to his ex-wife.<\/p>\n

because rumor has it they’re getting $3 million to $4 million EACH.\u00a0 Whatever the exact number is, it comes out to around $20 million for the bunch.<\/p>\n That sounds like a lot for one special . . . but not necessarily in today’s market.\u00a0 Netflix has been shelling out $20 million APIECE for specials by comedians like\u00a0Dave Chappelle<\/strong>,\u00a0Chris Rock<\/strong>,\u00a0Ellen

According to\u00a0FORBES“<\/strong><\/em>, this year’s “free” swag is valued at\u00a0$225,000<\/strong>, which is UP nearly $80,000 from last year’s haul.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The package includes:\u00a0 “Hydrogen-infused” water ($29.99 a pouch) . . . posh amethyst bath bombs ($75) . . . a $150 gold-plated cannabis vape pen . . . a “brainwave-sensing meditation headband” ($250) . . . and up to $25,000

helicopters, and a spa. \u00a0It’s valued at $78,190, with destinations that include Antarctica and the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Other gifts include:\u00a0 A romantic getaway in a Spanish lighthouse (not the one featuring\u00a0Robert Pattinson<\/strong>) . . . a year’s membership to a luxury dating service . . . and the Peezy Midstream, a “medical urine collection system that claims to improve the accuracy of testing for infections.”<\/p>\n <\/p>\n But not everything is weird and pricey.\u00a0 For example, there’s a two-pack of dark chocolate Milanos, which cost $4.89 for a set of 10.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n _____________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n RANDOM REPORT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Ever since

ground.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Luckily, he found them just in time though, and was able to free them by pouring lukewarm COFFEE on their tails.\u00a0 Now a video of it is going viral.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It’s not clear how long they’d been there, but they were fine otherwise.\u00a0 They even started lapping up the coffee before he picked them up and put them in his truck.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n He took them home and gave them some food and water.\u00a0 Then he brought them to a shelter.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n And here’s the best part:\u00a0 Someone immediately adopted ALL THREE of them.\u00a0 So they’re still together

<\/p>\n Australian researchers found participants who reported waking up to an alarm that went “beep beep beep” reported higher levels of grogginess than those who awoke to melodic alarms.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The theory is a beeping alarm might disrupt or confuse our brain activity as we wake up, and that a more melodic sound, or song, might actually help us wake up more effectively.<\/p>\n
