Tom Jones, 78, recently postponed his second gig in a row before the performance was due. He was rushed to the hospital to get treatment on a bacterial infection. Jones was still well enough to inform his fans on social media of what was going on. He said that he is ‘sorry and disappointed’, but is hopeful for a speedy recovery.
The show that he canceled will be postponed to Sunday, August 12th. The first show that he had to postpone was supposed to be on July 18th, but he was reported feeling unwell at the time. Medical professionals advised Jones to not perform both nights.

The singer had a string of UK dates following the shows he was supposed to perform. Similarly to last September, Jones canceled an entire U.S. tour due to having a hip replacement. Doctors had advised the performer to rest and cancel the string of Stateside shows.

However, shortly after those couple shows were canceled, he later announced that all remaining dates of the U.S. tour last year would be rescheduled to sometime in 2018. The announcement read, “Following medical advice, Sir Tom Jones has announced that he will unfortunately be postponing his US tour, which was due to commence in Bethlehem, PA on Wednesday 6th September.”

We are where nostalgia lives
Back in 2016, an unlikely performer absolutely killed the National Anthem prior to a training baseball game. Police officer Tanya Keplinger has a passion for singing as well as a passion for serving her community. She merged the two together and performed the National Anthem seemingly effortlessly in full uniform.
She performed to a crowd of thousands and stood proudly as she sang. The video of the performance was posted by the Surprise Police Department to honor her performance and dedication to her city and community.
Everyone in the crowd, including the surrounding fellow police officers, gave total attention and respect to the singer. Hand over heart, hats off, and standing tall, everyone seemed to be captivated by the police officer with a secret talent. Even despite the faulty microphone technicalities at the beginning, she performed one heck of a show.
People all over the Internet are praising this young officer not only for serving fearlessly in her line of duty, but also for her impeccable vocal talent. Additionally, many commented on how they loved that the song was kept to a traditional rendition.
This was implying that many pop stars who are chosen to sing the National Anthem put their own twist on the song and ruin it.
The National Anthem, or The Star-Spangled Banner, originated back in 1773 as an instrumental. The lyrics were finally produced in 1814 from a man by the name of Francis Scott Key. The lyrics were produced after he witnessed the attack on Fort McHenry by the British ships of the Royal Navy in Baltimore Harbor. This was otherwise known as the ‘War of 1812’. Key was inspired by the American flag waving with 15 stars and 15 stripes at the time upon U.S. victory. Thus, the National Anthem was born.
The Star-Spangled Banner was first used by the United States Navy in 1889, which has alleged continuous use since then. Several years later, the National Anthem is a nationally recognized song that is used traditionally before most sports games or other patriotic events.

The exhibit in general, as mentioned previously by senior curator Remington, was made in honor of the Prince’s 70th birthday to proclaim his love and appreciation for art.

The piece was completed by Hannah Rose Thomas and was spotted at the Prince’s Foundation School of Traditional Arts.

6 Weird Crime Scene Professions You Have Never Heard Of
This article is from Do You Remember. Click the title to hop over there.
We are where nostalgia lives
When you think of a crime scene, you probably think about police officers, forensic scientists, and maybe even a Sherlock Holmes type of character. But, there are a lot more ways to catch a criminal.
Here are some of the most interesting professions that have helped catch some famous criminals. Have you ever heard of any of them?
1. Forensic Botanist
In 1932, a wood technologist discovered evidence that linked Bruno Hauptmann to the kidnapping of famous aviator Charles Lindbergh’s child. These days forensic botanists can link pollen to suspects and crime scenes, they can use the soil to see where unmarked graves were dug and solve other things involving nature around a crime scene.
2. Forensic Linguist
A forensic linguist in the 1990s helped to catch the Unabomber. He decided to publish the Unabomber’s “manifesto” and several people who knew him recognized his handwriting and turned him in. Forensic linguists can help find language patterns or figure out who a criminal is by their handwriting.
3. Forensic Accountant
When the FBI was founded, almost half of the investigators were actually bank examiners. Now, about 15 percent of the FBI are actually accountants. Most crimes involve money so it is crucial to have people who know how to deal with money and find fraud. Forensic accountants found out that O.J. Simpson was hiding money in 1997.
4. Forensic Optometrist
A forensic optometrist can help catch murderers if glasses are involved. Sometimes glasses are found at a crime scene and forensic optometrists can help find someone by their prescription or find them wearing similar glasses in an old mug shot. They are skilled at measuring the glasses and knowing a prescription easily even if just a shard of glass is left.
5. Forensic Odontologist
You may have never heard of an odontologist, but it is someone who deals with teeth and gums. One such odontologist tracked down the “Vampire Rapist” in the early 1960s. He would bite down on the breasts of women he killed. They were able to find him by his bite marks.
6. Forensic Microscopist
Microscopes can help to reveal small clues that link people to crimes. Microscopists can analyze things like food, hair, dust and other items that are too small to see with the naked eye.

Study Shows That Babysitting Your Grandkids Could Lower Risk For Alzheimer’s

We are where nostalgia lives
We reported awhile back about a study that confirmed grandparents who cared for their grandkids lived longer. Now, a study shows that babysitting grandchildren could additionally lower the risk for Alzheimer’s.
Alzheimer’s is a progressive disease that destroys the memory and other important mental functions and capabilities. Treatment can help an individual with Alzheimer’s, but it cannot be cured. Researchers from the Women’s Health Aging Project in Australia conducted the study to observe over 180 women who cared for their grandchildren.
The results from the study concluded the postmenopausal women who took care of their grandchildren once a week showed a lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s. However, what’s interesting is that those who spend more than 5 days per week caring for their grandchildren may develop neurodegenerative disorders.
It is thought that regular social interaction can have positive effects on the mental health of seniors and lower their overall risk for Alzheimer’s. Thus, caring for grandchildren can help to prevent any social isolation that can cause a slew of mental disorders and even a premature death.
Other research suggests that a strong grandchild and grandparent relationship has anti-depressive benefits. The Institute on Aging at Boston College observed 376 grandparents and 340 children for 19 years. They found that the closer the relationship, the less likely both sides were to develop depression or any other mental illness.
Alzheimer’s Net provides a list of fun things that grandparents and grandchildren to do together, including camping in your own backyard, playing a card game, or teaching your grandkid one of your favorite hobbies.
In conclusion, the study shows that spending an appropriate amount of time with your grandkids may prevent Alzheimer’s by increasing overall brain function and memory. While it can be mentally exhausting to care for your grandchildren too often, it’s important to find a happy medium that is beneficial for you.
