A mother's decision can change her children's lives forever, and that's what one woman did: decide to finally get healthier in order to be there for her children.

Alena Shifrin was once a 310-pound mother who wasn't healthy at all. Her cholesterol levels were really soaring high, and her physician husband warned her that her weight could actually kill her. She was even denied to get life insurance because of her health status.

Alena became depressed about her situation and realized that she had to take action. She then decided to change her life and finally lose weight. She wanted to be healthier for her husband and for her daughters. She wanted to see them grow up and be there for them in the most important events of their lives.

One of the best feelings in the world is knowing that you are going to become a parent. We've seen many videos of wives surprising their husbands with the baby news. All of them are touching, especially because men rarely express their dramatic side. However, we think we've found the best yet in a video uploaded by soon-to-be mom Brittany Welch. You see, her husband David is deaf.

The concept is very simple. David was handed a paper bag of "gifts" by his wife. The said gifts were individually wrapped and each suggests clue toward the big reveal.

David uses American Sign Language to communicate with his wife throughout the clip.

Australian surfers Andrew Turton and Pete Ceglinski may just have saved the world from pollution. Ocean pollution, that is.

Called the Seabin, the device they invented works like a suction. First, it sucks in water and trash, then traps the garbage it collects together with the water. Once all the garbage has been removed, the water is transferred into a pump where oil particles are separated from the water. After the procedure - voila! Water comes back to the sea devoid of trash and oil particles.

Australian surfers Andrew Turton and Pete Ceglinski just developed a simple contraption that can trap garbage floating in the ocean.
