South Carolina School Bus Crash Sends Children to Hospital
A school bus carrying around 35 students and two adults from Pine Ridge Middle School overturned on I-77 in South Carolina on Thursday after blowing a tire. The bus was returning from a field trip when it flipped onto its side amid heavy traffic, trapping several children in the wreckage.
Emergency responders, including five medical helicopters, quickly arrived at the scene. Multiple students were transported to nearby hospitals for treatment. Aerial footage captured the aftermath, showing the bus lying on its side as first responders worked to assist the injured.
It’s natural to feel concerned if you notice something odd in your child’s hair—whether it’s a strange texture, a bump, or something moving. Hair issues in children can be harmless or may require medical attention, so it’s important to stay calm and take a step-by-step approach.

1. What Did You Find?
Start by carefully inspecting your child’s hair and scalp. Is it a small insect, a cluster of tiny eggs, or simply a change in the texture or color? Look for other signs like redness or itching. Using a magnifying glass can help you see tiny pests more clearly. If you suspect lice or mites, you may spot tiny, sesame-seed-sized insects or their eggs attached close to the scalp. Note your observations—this can be helpful if you consult a doctor.
2. Common Hair Pests in Kids
Children often catch hair pests from close contact at school or play. The most common are:
Head lice: Small, wingless insects (2–3 mm long) that feed on the scalp. Lice eggs (nits) attach firmly to hair shafts.
Mites: Much smaller than lice (about 0.2–0.4 mm), scabies mites can cause itching and rash, especially in skin folds.
3. Symptoms to Watch For
Some key signs of hair pests include:
Persistent itching
Redness or rash on the scalp or neck
Small red bumps or sores
Tiny insects or eggs attached to hair
If your child has severe itching, trouble sleeping, or signs of infection (like swelling or pus), seek medical advice.
4. Home Remedies: What Works and What Doesn’t
Popular home remedies for lice include olive oil or mayonnaise applied to the hair, followed by combing with a fine-toothed nit comb. Essential oils like tea tree oil are sometimes used, but always do a patch test to check for skin reactions. If you’re unsure, ask a healthcare professional before trying a new remedy.
5. When to See a Doctor
If home treatments don’t help, symptoms get worse, or you notice infection, it’s time to see a doctor. Children with skin conditions or allergies should get professional advice early to avoid complications. Doctors can prescribe medicated shampoos or creams to safely treat lice or mites.
6. Preventing Hair Pests
Good habits can help keep hair pests at bay:
Teach kids not to share combs, hats, or hair accessories.
Wash bedding and clothing in hot water after an infestation.
Vacuum often and keep living areas clutter-free.
Encourage regular hair checks and prompt reporting of any itching or discomfort.
7. Understanding Mites and Their Risks
Scabies mites can cause intense itching and a pimple-like rash, and scratching can lead to secondary infections. Dust mites, though they don’t live on humans, can trigger allergies or worsen asthma. Know where mites thrive and take steps to reduce exposure.
8. Treatment and Aftercare
Over-the-counter lice treatments with permethrin or pyrethrin are usually effective. Prescription treatments may be needed for stubborn lice or scabies. Follow all instructions, and continue checking your child’s hair after treatment to make sure pests are gone.
9. Long-Term Monitoring
Continue to check your child’s scalp regularly, especially after treatment, and maintain good hygiene habits to prevent re-infestation. If symptoms return or don’t improve, consult a dermatologist for further guidance.
Finding something strange in your child’s hair can be stressful, but knowing what to look for—and what to do next—can make the process much easier and help you protect your child’s health.
Baba Vanga made chillingly accurate prediction about Donald Trump’s life

Blind since childhood, Baba Vanga, often called the “Balkan Nostradamus,” was a Bulgarian mystic known for her eerily accurate predictions. She foretold major global events, including the 9/11 attacks, Princess Diana’s death, and the Chernobyl disaster. Her prophecies reportedly extend until the year 5079, with 2025 predictions warning of turmoil in Europe and the emergence of human telepathy. She also spoke of Indira Gandhi’s assassination and correctly foresaw the election of a Black U.S. president. Some believe her prediction of Trump’s “mysterious illness” aligns with his 2024 assassination attempt, further fueling intrigue around her visions.
An intense day of emergency is underway in Asia following a violent 7.7 magnitude earthquake that shook vast regions of Myanmar, southern China and northern Thailand early Monday morning , leaving a preliminary toll of dozens dead, hundreds injured and numerous people trapped under the rubble

The quake struck at 3:42 a.m. local time , with its epicenter in a mountainous area on the border between Myanmar and Yunnan Province, China , at a depth of approximately 10 kilometers, according to data from the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The quake was also strongly felt in the cities of Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai in Thailand, where mass evacuations were reported.
Myanmar , the worst-hit country so far, has declared a state of emergency in several regions after reporting at least 48 deaths and more than 300 injuries , with dozens more missing. In the city of Lashio , buildings have completely collapsed, and rescue teams are working against the clock to find survivors in the rubble.
“We heard a loud noise, and suddenly everything started shaking. The walls cracked, the ground moved like waves,” said Myo Thant , a resident of the affected area, who managed to escape with his family before their home collapsed.
In China , authorities in Yunnan province confirmed at least 12 deaths and more than 100 injuries , as well as the collapse of key infrastructure such as bridges, schools, and hospitals. Chinese authorities have deployed troops and search and rescue teams, activated their seismic alert system, and evacuated thousands of people from high-risk areas.
In
Thailand , although no fatalities have been reported so far, significant structural damage has occurred to ancient temples and historic buildings. Thai authorities have suspended classes in schools in Chiang Rai and are keeping hospitals on alert for possible aftershocks.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center initially issued a precautionary warning for nearby coasts, which was lifted hours later after no abnormalities in sea level were detected. However, experts do not rule out significant aftershocks in the coming hours.
International organizations such as the UN and the International Red Cross have already begun coordinating humanitarian aid efforts to assist the victims. The international community has expressed its solidarity with the affected countries, and the shipment of rescue teams, food, and medicine is expected.
Social media has begun to fill with dramatic images showing cracked streets, collapsed buildings, injured people, and families desperately searching for their loved ones among the wreckage. The hashtag #EarthquakeAsia has become a worldwide trend.
As search and rescue efforts continue, authorities are urging the public to remain calm, refrain from spreading false news, and follow only official information. An updated report is expected in the coming hours, as Asia wakes up amid chaos, fear, and the hope of finding survivors.
Summertime brings sunshine and warmth, but it also invites a variety of pests, including ticks, mosquitoes, and increasingly, kissing bugs. While these insects aren’t widely known, their bites can pose serious health risks. Understanding kissing bugs is crucial for taking the necessary precautions.
What Are Kissing Bugs?
Kissing bugs, or triatomines, are nocturnal insects that feed on the blood of humans and animals. They tend to hide during the day and become active at night, biting people while they sleep. Their saliva contains a numbing agent, making the bites painless and often unnoticed.
These bugs are attracted to the carbon dioxide humans exhale, which is why they tend to bite around the mouth and eyes, leaving clusters of bites on the face. While they typically live in wooded areas and the nests of rodents or birds, kissing bugs can enter homes through small openings like cracks or torn screens.
Kissing Bugs and Chagas Disease
Kissing bugs are particularly concerning in South and Central America and Mexico, where they are as
There’s been intense chaos and unrest in Los Angeles over the past few days.
Caught right in the middle of the turmoil was Australian journalist Lauren Tomasi — hit by a rubber bullet during the violent clashes.

Lauren Tomasi, Nine News’ U.S. correspondent, has been covering the protests that erupted in response to President Donald Trump’s controversial immigration crackdown.
On Sunday, June 8, demonstrators flooded downtown Los Angeles, with some setting vehicles on fire near the Metropolitan Detention Centre.
The day had began quietly, with relatively small groups protesting the immigration raids, but tensions quickly escalated as crowds swelled to thousands by the afternoon.
Reporting live from 257 E Temple Street, Tomasi described how the LAPD was “moving in on horseback, firing rubber bullets at protesters.” Just moments later, the chaos hit close to home — Tomasi was struck by a rubber bullet.
A bystander’s voice pierced the noise: “You just f**king shot the reporter.”
omasi remained calm, responding, “I’m good,” when someone checked if she was alright. Footage released by Nine News appears to show an officer deliberately aiming in her direction before opening fire. The network later confirmed in a statement:
“Lauren Tomasi was struck by a rubber bullet. Lauren and her camera operator are safe and will continue their essential work covering these events. This incident serves as a stark reminder of the inherent dangers journalists can face while reporting from the frontlines of protests, underscoring the importance of their role in providing vital informatio
