Brayden and Laura Recreate ”The Vow” in Real Life

One of our favorite romantic movies of all times is ‘‘The Vow.” The heartwarming story of a woman suffering a car accident, which results in a partial memory loss condition. The movie tells the story of how she was unable to recognize her husband, and how the two managed to fall back in love again.

Brayden and Laura lived the same exact story, but in real life. This time, it wasn’t scripted, and there were no behind the scenes. This is the story of how Brayden and Laura recreated ”The Vow” in real life.

Laura Lost her Memory Following an Accident

Laura Faganello was helping a friend move out, when a support poll fell on her head. Although at first the injury seemed minor, Laura’s life changed completely due to that accident. Her spine was damaged, leaving her in constant pain. However, the worst art wasn’t the pain, as the 23 years-old confessed. She suffered memory loss, and wasn’t able to remember anything. She woke up thinking she was 17, and asked her husband ”who are you?”

Brayden Was Devastated his Own Wife couldn’t Remember Him

On the other hand, Laura was not the only one who suffered from this accident. Although Channing Tatum’s portrayal of the tragedy left us crying, Brayden wasn’t acting nor in a movie. He had to experience the pain and sadness first-hand. He was absolutely crushed that his wife for the past 9 months, and girlfriend of 2 years, had no idea who he was.

“My next clear memory is of waking up thinking I was 17 years old, and not knowing who Brayden was. My memory of meeting, falling in love with, and marrying Brayden was gone,”

Laura wrote on her Facebook.

Brayden and Laura Fall in love with Each other…Again

Thankfully, true love is forever. Brayden decided to remind his wife of everything they shared, and make her fall in love with him again if he had to. He started writing her letters, which was how they initially met. Laura eventually fell in love with him because of his support and kindness.

Brayden and Laura decided to give their relationship another shot. Laura confessed that he has been patient, understanding and sweet to her, so she started dating him again. Eventually, they both managed to fall back in love again.

Brayden and Laura Decide to Remarry

Few months later, Brayden proposed to Laura, and she said yes. The couple then later remarried and had their second wedding coincide with their anniversary. They started a Photography website together, being their dream for a while. This is just living proof that true love is patient, and permanent.

Scientists Have Developed a Gel that Can Regrow Teeth

We all have had to suffer tooth ache at least once in our lives. Being able to regrow teeth naturally have crossed our minds, at least when waiting at the dentist. Finally, scientists have been able to regenerate tooth enamel, thanks to experiments and research, which allowed them to create this gel.

Scientists who may have just found a solution, that will eliminate the need of tooth filling as a method to repair cavities.

What Are Our Teeth Made Of ?

Teeth are the hardest bone in the human body. However, due to sugary substances in food and beverages, they are object to decay. The mineralized substance protecting their surface is called enamel. When generated, the cells that produce enamel die instantly, and it erodes, breaks, or chips, and can never regenerate itself again.

What Happens When We Get Cavities?

Cavities form when the hard part of the tooth decays. This means that the residuals of food mixed with saliva, form plaque when teeth are not brushed well. This sticky film slowly eats the enamel of the teeth away, and causes holes that are known as cavities.

It is important to note that cavities are permanent damage to teeth. The hole they create does not generate itself, and can not be regrown. What dentists do is that they clean the damaged area, then fill it with a composite resin.

How Will This Gel Regrow Tooth Enamel?

Chinese scientists have been developing a gel that could regrow teeth enamel. Although on paper this sounds highly unlikely, according to the experiments they have conducted, we may actually be in front of a genius discovery.

Supposedly, this gel gets the enamel to repair itself. It is made to replicate the biomineralization process whereby cells known as ameloblasts release proteins that eventually become enamel.

What Could Be the Result of This Discovery?

Although this gel has only been tested on human teeth donated by patients, researchers from Zhejiang University School of Medicine in China did operate on simulated mouth-like environment. The results have shown the creation of a hard, thick repaired layer where the gel was placed on the damaged tooth, within 48 hours.

The medical and dental community say they are very excited about this gel. Although regular adult teeth will never be put back to its original state, this gel may just be the discovery of the century.

Say Goodbye To Stalking on Instagram With The New Update

Stalking time on Instagram is officially over with their new update! One of the most used social media outlets of modern times, has removed its ”people you follow” feature. Although the users feedback rage from sad to happy, many people have admitted that this ”creepy” feature has caused more damage than anything else.

The new update of removing the tab came as Instagram’s second revolutionary change. Few months back, they announced that they will be taking out the like count of pictures. This news came off as scary to a lot of people, especially influencers on Instagram.

What Did the Following Tab Activity do?

Mainly, the follow tab allowed us to see what our ‘‘friends” are doing on Instagram. you could see who liked what, who commented on what, and sometimes, even who tagged who in what.

Many people admit to having had relationship problems because of this feature. Partners were able to stalk their significant other, keeping an eye on who they follow, and which people’s pictures they like.

Is This New Update Good or Bad for Instagram?

Instagram eventually decided to remove this feature amid claims that users were getting depressed and paranoid, according to the Mail Online. However, several Instagram users are not happy with the change, wondering how could they now stalk their ex/crush.

Regardless of wether this update is accepted by the world or not, Instagram is still winning according to the app directors. Now, all users will resort to Facebook to do ”some stalking”. Both Social media platforms are owned by the same person, therefore, this move could be benefiting the owners more than the actual users.

Does The Moon Really Have An Effect On Our Behavior?

While the likelihood of someone transforming into a werewolf Jacob Black style is slim to none, there are many stories about people going “loony” during the full moon. There are reports of increased crime and emergency room visits during this lunar phase, yet is this just all a coincidental nightmare?

The Moon’s Effect On The Tides… And The Water In Our Body

It is well-known knowledge that the moon has an effect on the tides. Just as Earth has a gravitational pull, so does the moon. While it’s not strong enough to lift us off the planet entirely (thank goodness for that) it does have the effect of pulling the water, making it “bulge.” As a result, we get high tide on the side of Earth that’s nearest the moon.

That said, as humans we also have a large amount of water in our bodies. In fact, men’s bodies are composed of approximately 60% water (55% for women). This leads many to believe that the moon’s gravitational pull of water then also means it’s pulling humans, and likely having an effect on our behavior.

Enough With Beliefs, What About The Facts?

Many people have their hunches, but science is the only way to truly prove if this lunar behavioral phenomena is real. A group of researchers in Canada decided to research if the moon had any behavioral effect on patients. The researchers composed their investigation by recording all of the patients who complained of chest pain with no medical reason behind it. A majority of the patients also suffered from some psychological issues, such as mood disorders or anxiety.

The results found that there was zero correlation between the chest issues, which they determined to be a psychological issue, and lunar phases. According to Dr. Geneviève Belleville who led the study, “One thing is certain: we observed no full-moon or new-moon effect on psychological problems.”

Full Moon Or Something else…

Given the solid conclusion from the research study, the full moon is officially off the hook as scapegoat for one’s crazy behavior. Turns out, if one is acting a little loony, they might just be that way… always.
