SAD! Father who 'surprised' his wife with news she was pregnant now announces she has 'suffered a miscarriage'

Sam Rader, 29, found out that his wife Nia, 26, was pregnant before she did because the mother-of-two doesn't flush in the middle of the night

He broke the news to her on camera, Nia was both shocked and thrilled

But four days later they have told viewers they suffered a miscarriage 

 
The childhood sweethearts from Wills Point, Texas, have two children

The husband who surprised his wife with the news that she was pregnant has recorded another video claiming that she has suffered a miscarriage.

Sam Rader, 29, and his wife Nia, 26, became an internet sensation on Wednesday with a video on their YouTube channel.

Sam surreptitiously dropped a pregnancy test in the toilet after Nia failed to flush, and filmed the moment he told her it was positive.

Just four days later, however, the Texas childhood sweethearts have tearfully revealed they lost the baby.

Their latest video, which had already amassed more than 380,000 views in just a couple of hours, comes as miscarriage is a headline topic across the world, following Mark Zuckerberg's announcement that he and his wife Priscilla had endured three previous miscarriages.


Emotion: Sam and Nia Rader, whose pregnancy announcement was an internet sensation, have miscarried, they say

Miscarriage news: The Texas childhood sweethearts recorded the vlog four days after their first video

'We were just so overjoyed… it was like a huge celebration and then it just - bam - it just hit us like a bomb,' Nia said, weeping, as Sam held his head in his hands.

'Those of you who have experienced miscarriage before, I can relate now.'

She adds: 'I just want to say, too, that maybe there's someone out there that's going through this with us.

'The Bible says to weep with those who weep and mourn with those who mourn, and I am mourning with those of you who are feeling this.'

The couple, who have two children, were already popular vloggers when their pregnancy test video became a sensation.

And while many of their fans have spoken out to offer their support to the couple, there are some who have raised concerns over their decision to share the pregnancy news so quickly, while others have suggested the pregnancy test, which was done with a diluted urine sample, may not have been accurate in the first place.

Vloggers Sam and Nia share their heartbreak over miscarriage


'Watery [wee] out of a toilet bowl isn't an appropriate pregnancy test sample,' YouTube user warwoods commented on the couple's latest video, before going on to accuse the pair of using the opportunity to garner more attention for their channel.

'Sam and Nia are viral posters.... this is staged for income gain (posts with big viewing numbers are paid to them)..... chemical pregnancy, early pregnancy loss, miscarriage can occur at any stage during 'pregnancy'.....even in late pregnancy there is stillbirth. Just seems this all lacks a sense of 'genuine'.... [sic]'

The same user added in a second comment: 'It is just a shame a watery evening [wee] is not the best sample for a urine pregnancy test and a fetal heartbeat cannot usually be detected before 6 weeks - fetal pole yes but heartbeat doesn't usually show until well after 6 weeks.

'Sure - if they believe they lost a child I feel for them but if they have faked a loss and involved their other children in the staged show words cannot share how messed up that is.'

A second person posting under the name Somatta Pokharel, also said: 'They should have waited, but they got fame and money for telling the whole world after 2 weeks.'


What a surprise! Sam Rader (left) announced to his wife Nia (right) that she was pregnant



Specimen found: The 29-year-old from Wills Point, Texas, said his wife doesn't flush the toilet when she pees in the middle of the night because she doesn't want to wake their young son


My turn! Sam was excited to get to be the one who found out about the pregnancy first this time

The couple's original pregnancy announcement took the world by storm when it was shared on their channel last week. The clip started out with Sam explaining his plan to the viewers, before attempting to take a pregnancy test for his wife.

'I've got some big plans this morning,' Sam whispers to the camera at the beginning of the video, which earned over half a million views within a matter of hours.

He's standing in the couple's bathroom, carefully keeping his voice low so his wife won't hear what he is doing.

'So I had this dream about announcing Nia's pregnancy to her,' he says. 'I wanted to find out before she does. And last night, at 1:30am while I was at work, she randomly texts me and says that she's two weeks late.

'All night long, Nia goes pee throughout the night. She has a bladder the size of a golf ball. And she doesn't flush the toilet at night because she's afraid she'll wake up the baby,' he explains.

Because Sam has just gotten off working a night shift, he's been able to get to the toilet before Nia is able to flush it that morning, telling the camera: 'So here I am, I'm so excited - I have a specimen. I knew it would be there.'

Husband shocks wife with pregnancy announcement





It's a baby! The happy hubby brought home a pregnancy test and used a dropper to take urine out of the toilet; he was thrilled to see the test was positive

Totally pumped: It took the ecstatic father-of-two a few minutes to calm down before he could take the camera to the kitchen to find his wife

He then gestures to the toilet, which indeed has urine in it. Sam admits that he's not sure if any pregnancy hormones in the sample will register on the test because it's diluted by water, but he's brought one home and is ready to try it.

'This time around, I'm gonna be doing the announcement,' he says with clear excitement. 'I hope so bad she's pregnant.'

Sam takes out the test and drops a sample of urine from the bowl onto it. He watches as the indicator turns pink, quickly revealing that Nia is, in fact, going to have a baby.

Sam takes out the test and drops a sample of urine from the bowl onto it. He watches as the indicator turns pink, and shows two lines, quickly revealing that Nia is, in fact, going to have a baby.

After collecting his thoughts, Sam leaves the bathroom and walks down into the couple's colorful kitchen, where Nia is wearing a red polka-dot robe and serving breakfast to their two children, Symphony and Abram.

That crazy guy: Nia, 26, is used to Sam filming things for their YouTube channel - but was confused that he was recording this particular moment, with seemingly nothing going on

He's got a secret: Sam kept hinting that he knew something that Nia didn't, but the bemused mom just laughed

Very funny: Sam presented Nia with the positive pregnancy test, which she assumed was a gag

He procrastinates for a few seconds, seemingly giddy with excitement as he builds up to the moment. Nia asks him several times what he's doing as he walks around the kitchen filming her and their children.

Sam then starts to drop hints. Nia goes to the cabinet to get jelly, and Sam asks her if she's getting wine.

'Oh, that's right, you can't have wine,' he says, before telling her she could make a bologna sandwich. 'Oh, that's right, you can't have bologna.'

Nia seems increasingly confused and bewildered by her husband's behavior. She talks into the camera, addressing the couple's YouTube subscribers: 'He's full of bologna, you guys - he doesn't know what he's talking about.'

'Oh, I don't?' asks Sam, laughing. After Nia tells him that she hasn't even taken a test yet, so she can't be sure that they are expecting, Sam rushes out of the room to get the one that he just used. He hides it in his pocket and asks Nia to take it out.

It's true! When he insisted that it was the real deal - and he'd actually already tested her pee - Nia was incredulous

So exciting: Nia was totally shocked when she learned the truth, as the couple had been trying to get pregnant again for a while

Watch it all: The young parents have a popular YouTube channel, where they plan to update their subscribers on the progress of their pregnancy

'You brought a positive one home? You're such a dork!' she says. 'You're hilarious... you're pregnant?'

One of their children, though, was having none of it, saying: 'You're pregnant, daddy? Daddy, only mommies get pregnant!'

Finally, after Sam insists that the test is real, Nia asks him if he got a dropper of pee out of the toilet. When he confirms that he did, she freaks out, excitedly asking him several times if he's serious.

'This isn't fair!' she says, adding that she had plans for how she was going to tell her husband when she learned that she was pregnant.

Brother and sister: Their children heard the good news too; Abram (left) seemed unfazed, while Symphony (right) got excited

Already a good sis: Symphony explained to Abram that there was a baby in their mommy's tummy

Proud parents: Nia couldn't stop smiling

Nia says that she hasn't had any morning sickness yet - as the couple's daughter can be heard telling their son in the background that he is going to be a big brother.

'The baby will have eyes!' the little girl says. 'There's a baby in her tummy!'

'I was starting to get a little worried that we weren't going to have another one, because it's been a while since we haven't used protection,' Sam says. 'I just feel so incredibly blessed.'

The couple tells viewers to keep checking back for more videos with updates on the pregnancy's progress.

'This is gonna be awesome,' says Nia.

Dentist training mannequins are the most horrifying things that ever existed, FYI

So it turns out dental training mannequins are the most terrifying things that ever existed.

Look at them. Just look.

But don’t look for too long lest they enter your nightmares for all eternity.

Many people are scared at the thought of going to the dentist – and is that any wonder when you see the creepy monstrosities that they trained on.

Reddit user ericherren posted a truly haunting snap of four horsemen of the apocalypse, oops, we mean dentist training mannequins.

Girl escapes death by seconds after being pulled from path of train

A girl was lucky to escape with her life when she was saved from being hit by a train with only moments to spare.

In the video, the girl is seen playing with a hula hoop alongside a friend at a train platform when the hoop falls onto the track.

But as the girl jumps down to retrieve the hoop, her life is put in increasing danger as a passenger train begins pulling into the station.

However, her saviour comes in the form of a woman who rushes to pull her off the tracks as she desperately attempts to clamber onto the platform.

The girl was only seconds from death

The footage of the incident has been released by Australian transport authorities in an attempt to warn of the dangers of trespassing on the railways – after 18 people were killed in New South Wales last year when they trespassed on the tracks.

And in footage of another incident, a man was seen taking a selfie on the train tracks.

Warning against the act, transport minister Andrew Constance said: ‘Stay off the tracks or face injury or death’.

Buhari queries Okonjo-Iweala over diversion of $1bn rail transport loan

By Levinus Nwabughiogu

ABUJA- President Muhammed Buhari on Monday asked the Ministry of Finance to provide explanations on the whereabouts of the foreign loans obtained for rail projects but diverted to other purposes under the watch of former Minister of Finance, Dr. Okonjo Iweala.

The president directive followed an instance of the diversion of a substantial part of the loan of USD1.005 billion from the Chinese Exim Bank, meant for the construction of a standard gauge rail line linking Lagos and Kano States to somewhere else.

Okonjo-Iweala and Buhari

This was even as the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Transport by the Permanent Secretary, Alhaji Mohammed Bashar informed the President that only $400 million id left of the loan.

Bashar made the revelation during a presentation of his ministry’s activities to president Buhari at the presidential villa.

He also briefed the President on some challenges facing the transport and maritime sectors such as encroachment on railway land, lack of security on inland waterways and some vague agreements between the Nigeria Ports Authority and ports concessionaires.

Reacting, President Buhari said that it was disappointing to find that foreign loans obtained in line with signed agreements were moved from one project to another.

“I hope that due process was followed before such diversions were carried out. Taking money from one project to another has to be done properly,” he warned.

The President regretted that government had, over the years, failed to meet its counterpart funding obligation on some projects, leading to such projects being left uncompleted or abandoned.

He added that there was a clear need to streamline, harmonize, and prioritize on-going projects in the transportation sector.

'I asked him why I couldn't do it and he said because you're black. They don't want you at the house'

Monday 10 August 2015

A Lowes delivery driver recently told reporters that his manager gave into a customer who requested no black workers be sent to her home.

Marcus Bradley, the delivery driver, told WVUE that he was first told his order was cancelled during a delivery and was shocked to learn why.

"I asked him why I couldn't do it, and he said because you're black, and they don't want you at the house," he said.

The man's co-worker Alex Brooks said he was in the car with Mr Bradley when he took the call.

"To me, it just ain't right for a business that we work at to go on with the woman's wishes," Brooks told reporters.

"It was one of those things like, 'These guys will get over it. They're tough guys. They're delivery guys,'" he added. "And that's kind of where I just had to put my foot down and say I couldn't do it with them."

The woman who requested no black drivers be sent to her home doubled down on her racist comments when WSET reportersarrived to her home.

"I got a right to have whatever I want and that's it," she said. "No, I don't feel bad about nothing."



Mr Bradley had planned on going to work, without any further complaints. However, Lowe's later fired the manager and said that workers should never honour a discriminatory request:

“Diversity and inclusion is a core value at Lowe’s. The situation brought to our attention was troubling and an investigation was immediately undertaken. Under no circumstances should a discriminatory delivery request should be honoured as it is inconsistent with our diversity and inclusion core values and the request should have been refused. The investigation has concluded and the individuals involved are no longer with the company.”

It was said that Alhaji went to harvest the vegetable without the consent of the owner which angered the daughter of the woman, Favour.

According to an eyewitness,

“Alhaji who is from Igbira came out with a cutlass and beheaded the girl. Mr Aliu saw what happened and started shouting, Alhaji ran after Isaac the little boy to kill him but Aliu pursued him in order to save the boy. But he succeeded in killing both the small boy and Mr Aliu.

HEALTH: ‘Religion affects wellbeing of cancer patients’

IllNESSES such as cancer can represent a test for the faith and spirituality of religious patients, but a new series of systematic reviews suggests that religion and spirituality could have a positive impact on the physical, mental and social wellbeing of these patients.

The researchers defined religion and spirituality as having emotional, behavioral and cognitive dimensions.

The three meta-analyses are published in Cancer – the peer-reviewed journal of the American Cancer Society.

“To date, this series of meta-analyses represents the most comprehensive summary and synthesis of a rapidly growing area of psychosocial oncology: the role of religion and spirituality for patients and survivors managing the experience of cancer,” says Dr. John Salsman, of Wake Forest School of Medicine in Winston-Salem.

Meanwhile, new figures reveal that cancer patients are three times more likely to survive if the illness is diagnosed early.

The news underlines how crucial it is that doctors and patients pick up on symptoms before tumours spread.

Analysis by Cancer Research United Kingdom (UK) found 80 per cent of patients with one of eight common cancers survive for at least ten years if the disease is detected in its early stages.

But this falls to just 25 per cent for patients diagnosed in the later stages, when tumours have spread to the bones, brain, lungs or other organs.

Only last week, figures revealed that cancer survival rates in Britain lag ten years behind those in other Western countries, mainly due to late diagnosis.

Experts say this is partly down to patients not seeking medical help early, as well as General Practitioners (GPs) missing certain ambiguous symptoms.

According to the authors of one of the three reviews, a recent poll found that around 59 per cent of people around the world describe themselves as religious, regardless of whether they regularly attend religious services or not.

Many cancer patients find solace in religion and spirituality, with one survey reporting that 69 per cent of cancer patients pray for their health, compared with only 45 per cent of the general population in the United States (US).

While great importance is placed on meeting the spiritual needs of patients with cancer, studies examining the effects of religion and spirituality on wellbeing have tended to report mixed results.

Father Rapes Daughter TWICE To Check Her Virginity Status In Lagos (PHOTOS)

Police officials of Zone 2, Onikan, Lagos State arrested and paraded a 48-year old man, Adeboye Waheed for defiling his 14-year-old daughter (names withheld) to check her virginity status at Adama Araro Street in Ikorodu area of the state.

The victim, an SS1 student of Araromi Isoju Grammar School in Ikorodu, who lived with her father, step mother and four siblings, revealed that she was defiled twice with a condom.

Narrating her ordeal, she said, “My father started checking my private part, to check if I have started mensuration in 2014. On a particular day in November of the same year, I was sleeping on the floor of our one room apartment in the night, he removed my wrapper. My step mother was not around that day.

“He used his fingers to touch my private part and asked if I was menstruating. He also asked me if anybody had ever had sex with me, I said no. He said he would use his penis to test me to confirm the truth. That was how he forced his ‘manhood’ on me and covered my mouth not to shout.

“From that time, I started bleeding till morning when I became weak and he did nothing. He warned me not to let anybody know.”

It was also learnt that the suspect repeated the act on The victim said her father repeated the act on Thursday, March 5, 2015.

She continued, “I was browsing with someone’s phone in the house when he asked me to remove my clothes. He put on condom and had sex with me. I felt very bad inside me but I could do nothing.

“The next day, I packed my belongings and ran away from the house to a near-by church.

“I really felt humiliated. Before I left, I threw away all the condoms he bought and dropped a note that he should not look for me. At the church, I narrated what happened to me to them and they took the matter to the police.”

While being paraded before journalists on Wednesday, June 10, 2015 the suspect blamed the act on strange influence which befell him.

The state police spokesperson who was represented by Mr Olorunfemi Shem, said all the investigations carried on the matter and the medical report from a government hospital showed that the suspect violated his daughter.

He said: “Our investigation and medical report from a government hospital proved that the girl was defiled by her father.”

Football: Why Jose Mourinho was angry with Eva Carneiro and the rest of Chelsea's medical staff

It doesn't take a lot to make Jose Mourinho angry, from players not giving their all, to apparent campaigns by referees.

After yesterday's 2-2 draw with Swansea in the Premier League's opening day, the Chelsea boss decided to focus his ire not on referee Michael Oliver - who reduced the champions to ten men by sending off Thibaut Courtois and awarding a penalty - but the club's own medical staff.



Mourinho was incensed by first-team doctor Eva Carneiro running on to the pitch to treat Eden Hazard in the closing minutes of the game, but because a player receiving medical attention needs to leave the field for the next phase of play, Chelsea were effectively reduced to nine men at the end of the match.

Speaking to Sky Sports, Mourinho said:

I wasn't happy with my medical staff because you have to understand the game, even if you are a kit man, doctor or secretary on the bench, you have to understand the game. And you have to know you have one player less and when you go to the pitch to assist a player you must be sure that the player has a serious problem and I was sure that Eden didn't have a serious problem. He had a knock and was very, very tired. And my medical department, in impulse, naivety, they left me with eight outfield players in a counter attack after a set piece, and we were worried we were two players less.

Firefighter sentenced for raping 9-year-old girl after rescuing her from blaze

An investigation led to McGinn being convicted of a further six charges against the girl and others

Monday 10 August 2015

A retired firefighter raped a nine-year old girl after rescuing her from a fire at her home.

John McGinn, 56, saved the girl from a blaze at her house in Bellshill, North Lanarkshire in 1994 and was accused of later raping her at her grandmother’s house, according to STV News.

McGinn already knew the girl and her family from living in the same area and he reportedly threatened to kill the girl’s mother if she spoke out about the incident.

The child was taken to her grandmother's after her mother was rushed to hospital due to smoke inhalation.

McGinn later arrived at her grandmother's house and raped the child pretending at first to be playing a game with her.

The girl, who is now aged 30, later contacted police.

An investigation led to McGinn being convicted of a further six charges against the girl as well as other individuals.

At the High Court in Glasgow, McGinn denied the charges telling the court that the claims against him were a “downright lie”, according to BBC reports.

“I would rather put a bullet in my own head than be a paedophile,” he added.

McGinn reportedly accused the victim of blackmailing him for his fire brigade pension. He claimed that the rape allegation was revenge for not giving her any money.

Claims also surfaced in court that McGinn assaulted another young girl giving her sweets and juice to ensure that she kept quiet about the incident.

McGinn worked as a fire fighter for 30 years across the North Lanarkshire area.

His sentence has been adjourned until later this month.

Read What The Bangladeshi police Did to Six Tiger Hunters In Their Country

Police seize three tiger pelts which appeared to be from animals that had been recently killed

Six alleged tiger poachers have been shot dead by police in a gunfight in the largest stretch of mangrove forest in the world and home to the rare Bengal tiger.

Bangladeshi police seized three tiger pelts which appeared to be from animals that had been recently killed, according to reports.

Harendra Nath Sarkar, a local police official, told the BBC that the gunfight lasted between 15 and 20 minutes.

He said: “We recovered three tiger skins, and five guns and ammunition. From the look and smell of the skins, it seemed that the tigers were killed not more than a week ago”.

However, conflicting reports from local media have said that the poachers were initially arrested by police and later shot dead.

Bangladeshi authorities have bolstered their efforts to curb poaching following news that the local tiger population is in decline.

Last month the government’s wildlife conservationist estimated that current tiger populations in the Sundarbans were between 80 and 130, a huge decline from figures released in 2004 which projected that there were some 440 tigers in the Mangrove habitat.

Police chiefs said that the Sundarban’s network of rivers and canals was a major attraction for poacher gangs, ABC Australiareported.

They said that poachers "now sell tiger bones, meat and skin for a lot of money."

The sources also added that feeble law enforcement and a lack of monitoring inside the forest had contributed to the rise in poaching.

The 10,000 square kilometre Sundarbans cross Bangladesh and India and are a World Heritage-listed forest and one of the world’s last remaining big cat habitats.

Bengal tigers can be found mainly in India, where there are approximately 2,226 cats across the country. Smaller population inhabit Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, China and Myanmar.
