  • Girl Hit With Shovel To The Head Video Goes Viral [VIDEO]

    Yesterday, “Shovel Girl” was the star of the world wide web. A video of a group of friends poking fun at each other was posted on YouTube. The 8-minute video started with the girls walking on a lawn. After a bit of conversation, the girls start slapping and pulling each other’s hair.

    What started out as a seemingly playful fight took a nasty turn by the second round. One of the girls starts punching the other in the face. The girl who was being punched seemed unfazed by the beating. “I got a hard-ass head,” she said.

    By the third round of the fight, things got even nastier, as one of the girls starts kicking and punching the other girl on the head. The end of the fight came when one girl grabs a shovel, chases the other girl for a short distance, and throws the shovel at her head.

    After the girl was hit, she fell to the ground grabbing her head saying that she couldn’t hear. “I can’t hear! I can’t hear! I beat her ass though, so it’s okay,” she said.

    According to Josh Officer, the 15-year-old who was filming the scene, everyone involved was fine after the incident happened. The two girls were apparently duking it out over a boy, and they asked him to film their fight.

    Watch the two girls duke it out.

    The 8-minute video was taken down from YouTube but later re-posted. A shorter version that consists of the shovel-hitting incident is available on Vine. As is often the case, videos of deplorable behavior tend to get a lot of attention online – this is one such video. It was posted on May 4 and has garnered more than 510,000 tweets, 73,000 likes, and 75,000 revines in just 48 hours.

    Reports say that nobody was charged with a crime.

    After the incident, the stars of the video posted another Vine, showing everyone that they are okay, and one of the girls saying that she “needs another shovel.”

  • Ralph Lauren’s Niece Fined For Wreaking Havoc On Delta Flight

    Jenny Lauren, niece of Polo fashion tycoon Ralph Lauren, was fined $ 2000 euros (approx. $2715) for “air rage” that forced the New York-bound flight she was on to divert to Ireland.

    The 41-year-old jewelry designer pleaded guilty on Wednesday to being drunk and wreaking havoc on a Delta Air Lines flight from Barcelona to New York. The crew had to divert the plane to Shannon, Ireland to boot her from the plane.

    The drama started when a flight attendant spotted Lauren crying in her couch and went to console her. In a surprise reaction, Lauren told the flight attendant to “get the f**k out” of her face.  She then chased the attendant Constance Topping throughout the main aisle of the plane. According to Inspector Tom Kennedy, the flight attendant was attacked both verbally and physically.

    The altercation caused concern among passengers who began standing out of their seats. She told Topping that she was going to go ballistic and pushed her hard against the wall of the plane, Kennedy said. She then called Topping a “f***ing ugly, blonde b***h.”

    Supervising flight attendant Jennifer Simpson and the plane’s pilot were not spared her wrath either when they tried to intervene. The tirade lasted close to an hour before the aircraft landed in Ireland to eject her from the flight.

    Her attorney Sharon Curley told the court that Lauren could not remember what had transpired in the incident and that she was “extremely embarrassed and extremely upset by her actions.”

    Curley also said Lauren, who fears flying, had taken three alcoholic drinks after taking prescription medication.

    Officials said the diversion cost the airline $43,158 and inconvenienced more than 100 people who were in the aircraft.

  • Regular Bedtime Likely to Produce Good Behavior in Kids

    LiveScience reports a new study published this week by British researchers in the journal Pediatrics has concluded that young children behave worse when they go to sleep at a different time each night.

    10,000 children were enrolled in the Millennium Cohort Study, which was a long-term research project examining babies who were born in the U.K. between 2001 and 2002. The babies’ moms filled out questionnaires when the children reached ages 3, 5, and 7 regarding their kids’ sleep cycles and whether their child went to sleep at a regular bedtime. At age 7, mothers were also asked to evaluate their kids’ behavior, conduct, social relationships, emotions, and hyperactivity level.

    Of the children who participated, 9 percent had irregular bedtimes, and their behavior got worse as the bedtime extended into the night, particularly after 9 p.m. Erratic bedtimes were also found to have the largest influence on how hyper the kids were, as judged by their moms and teachers.

    The Guardian noted that, regarding those kids who did go to bed late, they were more likely to come from a socially disadvantaged background, have a poor routine, skip breakfast, not be read to by parents/guardians, and to possess a television in their bedroom. Thankfully, the study found that the process is reversible, and that kids’ behaviors self-corrected when they got enough sleep.

    “Family routines can be difficult to maintain when parents are working long and potentially unsociable hours,” the research said. “Thus policy development is needed to better support families to provide conditions in which young children can flourish.”

    Dr. Carloyn D’Ambrosio, director of the sleep center at Tufts Medical Center, the Floating Hospital for Children in Boston and a non-participant in the research, said that “This is a very well-done study that in many ways reaffirms what we already know about a lack of sleep.”

    “When people are sleep-deprived, they are a little bit moodier, have a shorter temper and their normal physiological processes aren’t as finely tuned,” Dr. D’Ambrosio continued. “Kids don’t say they’re tired, they typically act it out — most commonly by being hyperactive.”

    As a recommendation for parents, Dr. D’Ambrosio would suggest “[picking] a bedtime that works for you and your family… It may not work every night, but just keep trying. Sleep is one of the most important things you can do for a child’s health and behavior.”
