A 14-year-old kid from North Carolina was\u00a0flying\u00a0as an unaccompanied minor\u00a0to visit his grandparents in Sweden recently, but United mistakenly put him on a flight to Germany.\u00a0 He texted his parents while the plane was taxiing and about to take off, because everyone on the plane was speaking German.\u00a0 But his parents couldn’t reach the airline.\u00a0 Eventually the kid got a flight attendant to figure it out.<\/p>\n
______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n You never know where your message in a bottle might end up. A man relaxing in the water in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida, found a message in a bottle that was thrown into Lake Michigan 24 years earlier. Gary Henrickson says he saw the bottle bobbing in the water near him, and uncorked it to find a letter from a man written in 1995. It reads: \u201cHello, June 16, 1995, Frankfurt, Michigan. I\u2019ve tossed this bottle into the water to bring joy to anyone who finds it. This whiskey bottle was full a few short hours earlier. If you find this call me, and I\u2019ll buy you a drink.\u201d Henrickson says he tried to text the number on the note, and it actually reached the author of the note. He said the two talked and determined the bottle must have traveled to Florida via the Mississippi River.<\/p>\n ______________________________________________________________________________<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ENTERTAINMENT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n (Hugh Jackman, Zoe Saldana, Zach Galifianakis)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ___________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n Bravo is reviving \u201cCash Cab,\u201d with plans to bring it back on air after Discovery Channel\u2019s own revival of the series ended last year.

The job opening, for a Demi Chef de Partie, is currently posted on the royal family\u2019s official website, along with details including one major perk of the position.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For starters, the job pays the very specific annual salary of 22,076.04 pounds (or about $27,480) and offers a 15 percent employee contribution pension plan. All meals while on-duty are included as are 33 paid holidays, per the job listing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n One of the most intriguing aspects, perhaps, is that the Demi Chef de Partie will have the option of live-in accommodations, as well as access to a range of recreational facilities at Buckingham Palace.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n There will however be a salary adjustment made for those who choose this option. Once hired, the Demi Chef de Partie might also be able to sneak a peek at the royal families other lavish residences, too, as the role will involve traveling to other royal residences.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The royal family will be accepting applications through July 28<\/p>\n \u00a0___________________________________________________________________________________<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n CHILDREN IN ENGLAND WILL BE TAUGHT HOW TO BRUSH THEIR TEETH IN SCHOOL<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n There are certain skills most kids learn at home, and certain skills kids usually learn at school, but apparently who teaches what varies. In the UK, the Public Health England (PHE) reports that kids across the country miss at least 60,000 days of school each year due to dental health issues.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Health authorities blame this on lack of supervision at home or parents simply being unable to afford toothbrushes and paste. The UK\u2019s Health Secretary is reportedly going to suggest the country begin giving tooth brushing \u201clessons\u201d in public schools, and the idea has been met with mixed responses.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n One dental expert praised the idea, but critics questions whether oral hygiene is something a teacher should be responsible for. Similar lessons are already happening in parts of England for children ages three to five.<\/p>\n \u00a0_____________________________________________________________________________________<\/u><\/strong>\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n RANDOM REPORT<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00a0__________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n JAVA UPDATE:<\/u><\/strong> <\/p>\n Coffee is known to be rich in healthful antioxidants, which are beneficial in reducing the risk of several diseases. But for those of us who enjoy a cold coffee drink during the summer months \u2013 are we getting the same benefits?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Well, no. Cleveland Clinic doctors found that hot coffee has about 50 percent more antioxidants than cold brewed coffee. Why? When coffee is brewed cold, it is a totally different process, and you wind up with less acidity and about half the antioxidants.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Previous research has shown the major benefits of coffee come from both the antioxidants and the caffeine. Other studies have linked coffee consumption to a reduced risk for diseases such as type two diabetes, liver disease, and heart disease.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The problem? If we load our coffees full of cream, sugar, syrups or whipped cream \u2013 we can wipe out all of those health benefits in a hurry. For those who like their coffee cold, one expert suggests brewing it hot and then having it over ice.<\/p>\n _____________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/u><\/p>\n TUESDAY JULY 23RD<\/sup> \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n TODAY\u2019S BIRTHDAYS <\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n [58] Woody Harrelson, actor<\/p>\n [48] Alison Krauss, country\/bluegrass musician-singer-songwriter \/27 Grammys, more than any other female artist<\/p>\n [30] Daniel Radcliffe, actor (\u201cHarry Potter\u201d films)\/Broadway actor (\u201cEquus\u201d)<\/p>\n ——————————————————————————————————————————-<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Cleveland\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Toronto\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 3<\/p>\n Detroit was off<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n <\/p>\n ERIC CHURCH TOPS CHARTS WITH ‘SOME OF IT’<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n Eric Church<\/strong>‘s \u201cSome Of It\u201d tops both the\u00a0Billboard<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Mediabase\u00a0<\/strong>charts this week.
