Kind waiter in Georgia is pictured helping customer with no hands in heartwarming pic
The actions of 22-year-old Alex Ruiz surely must have restored someone's faith in humanity. An unidentified, disabled, customer with no hands walked into the Cinco De Mayo Mexican grill restaurant in Douglasville, Georgia where he is a waiter and asked him for help. Alex sat down with the man for 30mins and fed him his entire meal.
Reginald Widener, a regular customer who was touched by the act of kindness took pictures and posted it to Facebook. He wrote:
'So I'm at Cinco de Mayo and Alex, the server, had a man come in with no hands. So Alex is now helping the man eat his lunch. This seriously hit me right in the soul. Still good people in the world,' he wrote.
Reginald said he shared the picture to remind people that 'there's people who have a worse situation dealing with more [stuff] than you do day-to-day'.
'The world needs more people to be positive. Alex had a smile on his face the entire time. He didn't complain about it; it looked like he really cared,' he said
Crystal Figueroa, 24, whose father is the manager of the restaurant and is Alex's co-worker at Cinco de Mayo, said she's not surprised by the 22-year-old's actions.
While Alex has been praised by his coworkers and other people, he says he only did what was right and he's happy he did it.'He sat with him until he was finished eating. He patiently waited for him to finish his meal,' she said. 'He's a great person. He's always so nice, and the fact that he just came out of nowhere and helped a man he doesn't even know have a meal says everything. 'That just shows the person that he is,' Crystal said.

According to MTO, Rihanna is pregnant...again! Lol.
MediaTakeOut.com just got its hands on a very extremely juicy piece of gossip. Rihanna might be pregnant. Here's what we know. MTO spoke with a snitch in Rihanna's camp who tells us that in the past two weeks Rihanna has stopped smoking cigarettes, stopped drinking champagne and no longer allows marijuana to be smoked around her.And here's the shocker. According to one of Rihanna's CLOSE FRIENDS - Rih did NOT smoke weed on 420. You know HOW MUCH of a weed smoker Rihanna is . . . to not smoke weed on 420 MUST MEAN something serious is going down.
Obviously we can't confirm Rihanna's pregnant 100% without seeing her medical records. But there is MORE evidence. Look at her new BODY SHAPE - as seen at her Saturday night concert in Vancouver. Rih appears to have a slight belly bulge.
All evidence points to the fact that Rihanna is pregnant. It's not at ALL clear who the father is though. In recent weeks, Rihanna has been linked to Drake and superstar actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
Heavyweight champion Tyson Fury throws shade at Anthony Joshua
Joshua, 26, became the IBF heavyweight champion with a second-round knockout of Charles Martin at London's O2 Arena this month and could face Tyson Fury soon as Fury wants to take the IBF title from Joshua.
Fury, known for his social media outbursts towards rivals posted a photo-shopped image of Joshua on Twitter, carrying an 'F' sign while wearing a T-shirt with a picture of Fury following his win against Wladimir Klitschko.
The 27-year-old WBA, WBO, IBO and The Ring magazine heavyweight champion captioned the snap: 'Who I think I found myself a cheerleader, she is always right there when I need her,' misquoting the lyrics to hit-song 'Cheerleader' by OMI.Fury feels Joshua's decision to defend his IBF crown against American Dominic Breazeale is because he is scared of losing, hence his choice of a 'soft' target.
It's not the first time the two fighters have had a go at each other. Joshua recently called Fury 'a fat boy' to which Fury replied 'We all do weights obviously because we are heavyweights, but I am never going to be Mr Universe and I don't need to be. I am a fighting man. That's what I am. I am a natural fighter. I am the Gipsy King. I don't need muscles - and you can't put muscles on your chin. I've beaten plenty of six packs, don't worry about that.'
A possible World title fight between the pair could occur later on this year if their social media goading continues and promoters feel fans will like to see a fight between the pair.

Man kills 2-year-old daughter after she interrupted his video game
Sanders killed his daughter, Ellie Sanders while her mom was out of the house at an art show.
According to an arrest warrant, Sanders had been caring for his two children all day beginning about 10 a.m. while his wife was out.When his wife returned, about 8:30 p.m., Sanders was in the living room with their 5 year old son and he told his wife that their daughter was sleeping.
30 minutes after the mum arrived, their son tried to wake the toddler up but she wouldn't wake up so he ran to tell his parents that his sister wouldn't wake up, Sgt. Jason Babcock, a police spokesman. told the Star-Telegram.
Thinking that her daughter was just sleeping, the mother told him to let her rest. At 10pm, the father went to check on their daughter to make sure she was fine. That was when he found out she was not breathing and started shouting for his wife to call 911. Emergency services arrived almost immediately and rushed her to the hospital
Unfortunately, Ellie was pronounced dead at the hospital at 10:10pm, but doctors suspected foul play when they found bruising on her body, around the eyes, blood behind one ear and bite marks that could have come from an adult human.
In an interview with the police, Sanders provided no explanation for the injuries, Babcock said.
“He has no idea what happened,” Babcock said Sanders told police. “He just went back there and she wasn’t breathing.”
Sanders told police several times that he had checked on Ellie and even changed her diaper about 30 minutes before his wife arrived home. He told police the girl “appeared fine and was up watching television in the bedroom laughing,” the affidavit states.
Police charged Sanders with capital murder after the Tarrant County medical examiner’s office ruled that the girl’s death was a homicide caused by asphyxiation. He was jailed on Friday with bail set at $1 million.
“Anthony, by his own admission, was the only adult that was in the residence during the time the injuries were inflicted upon his daughter which caused her death,” Detective B. McComis wrote in the affidavit.
She was ultimately killed, police say, when Sanders put his hand over her mouth and asphyxiated her.
'Just a fit of rage-type deal, anger,' Babcock told the Star-Telegram.
'He’s very involved in computer gaming,' he continued. 'That’s something he did constantly. She may have interrupted him somehow. His day may have been interrupted.'Court records show Sanders was charged in July 2011 with choking the girl’s mother, whom he later married. The case, however, was 'no-billed' in August 2011, records show.
After Ellie’s death, Child Protective Services took custody of her brother, now 6. He has been placed in the care of a relative, CPS spokeswoman Marissa Gonzales said Friday

I prefer the old Beyonce who didn’t play the race card so deliberately and to my mind, unnecessarily - pierce Morgan
I never like it when entertainers go all political.
The cynic in me believes it’s rarely done for genuine reasons but for strictly commercial ones.
Whether it’s Oscar-winners preaching from the Academy Awards pulpit or Madonna seizing the best-looking babies from African orphanages, it always looks and sounds like they’re using a ‘good cause’ as a fashion accessory.
Which brings me to Beyoncé and her new ‘visual-album’, Lemonade.
Now, I bow to no man nor woman when it comes to my admiration for this lady.
I once spent a delightful day with her in London for CNN and she was bright, warm, funny, sharp and incredibly impressive.
We chatted, had tea and scones, and finally went to the famous department store Harrods to buy a copy of her new album.
There, word quickly spread and several thousand people raced down to to form a frenzied throng desperate to get close to their idol.
Things grew steadily more intense, physical and scary until eventually I witnessed her chief bodyguard – a giant of a man – actually punch a paparazzi straight on the head, knocking him to the floor.
That was real superstar fame, on a scale few well-known people will ever experience.
Beyoncé’s over-excited audience that day pretty much typified what I suspect her normal audience looks like: black, white, asian, hispanic, young, old, male, female, Jewish, Muslim, Christian.
In other words, a multi-cultural, age, gender and religion irrelevant demographic.
She’s a global brand, one of the best in the business, and has generally steered studiously clear of saying or doing anything too contentious which might polarise that audience – preferring to entertain for the sake of entertaining.
But just lately, Beyonce’s been adding a far more serious, deeply political and race-fuelled tone to her work.
In February of this year, she dropped the song “Formation” which contained references to the activist movement Black Lives Matter.
A video accompanying it included Beyoncé strewn across a sinking police car in a withering throwback to police mistreatment of the black community in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.
Other scenes showed a wall bearing the graffiti “Stop Shooting Us” and a young black boy dancing in a hoodie in front of a line of policemen.
It was seen, understandably, as an attack on U.S. police.
The next day, Beyoncé sang Formation during the half-time Superbowl show and stepped up the police-hating theme with a tribute to the militant activist group, Black Panthers.
Her back-up dancers had Panthers-style afro hairstyles and black berets, formed an X on the pitch and punched the air in the style of the famous black power salute.
Beyoncé herself wore black leather and a bandolier of bullets.
To say this was a provocative statement is putting it mildly.
The Black Panthers, set up as a group who would protect black Americans from police brutality, became infamous for their own brutality, especially against police, and widespread criminal and murderous membership within their ranks.
Beyonce’s tribute to them was branded ‘disgraceful and outrageous’ by former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, incensed that she had ‘used the platform of the Superbowl to attack the police.’
Now, just two months later, she has released her full album Lemonade.
Many of the instant headlines attached to it focus on her apparent calling out of husband Jay-Z as a love cheat.
But I was far more drawn to the politically-charged content in much of the rest of it.
There’s a clip of Malcolm X, the radical and controversial black separatist who opposed Dr Martin Luther King’s creed of non-violence, saying: ‘The most disrespected person in America is the black woman.’
Another shows two grieving mothers appearing on camera.
The first is Lesley McSpadden, filmed crying as she holds a photo of her late son Mike Brown who was shot dead by a police officer in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014 – an incident which sparked huge protests.
The second is Sybrina Fulton, whose 17-year-old son Trayvon Martin was killed in Florida by a local vigilante George Zimmerman in a case that sparked national outrage in 2012.
I have huge personal sympathy for both women and there is no doubt that African-Americans have been treated appallingly by certain rogue elements within the country’s police forces.
But I felt very uneasy watching these women being used in this way to sell an album. It smacks of shameless exploitation.
My mind went back to my CNN interview with Beyoncé and the moment when we discussed her live performance at President Barack Obama’s first inauguration ball in 2008.
‘Did you experience racism as you grew up?’ I asked.
A bit, but I feel like with my career I’ve now broken barriers. I don’t think people think about my race. I think they look at me as an entertainer and a musician and I’m very happy about that because that’s how I look at people. It’s not about color and race, and I’m happy that’s changing.’
‘At the time of the inauguration,’ I said, ‘the most powerful man in the world was African-American, Oprah was the biggest TV star, you were the biggest singing star and Tiger Woods was No1 golfer. That would have been unthinkable 30 years ago.’
‘Exactly,’ she replied.
‘The sea change came through personal achievement as much as anything else.’
‘Absolutely. I’m proud of that and I’m just praying that we continue to grow and people continue to see the right things in people.’
That interview took place five years ago.
Beyoncé then was unrecognisable from the militant activist we see now. Then, she was at pains to be seen as an entertainer and musician and not as a black woman who sings.
Now, it seems to be the complete opposite.
The new Beyoncé wants to be seen as a black woman political activist first and foremost, entertainer and musician second.
I still think she’s a wonderful singer and performer, and some of the music on Lemonade is fantastic.
But I have to be honest, I preferred the old Beyoncé.
The less inflammatory, agitating one.
The one who didn’t use grieving mothers to shift records and further fill her already massively enriched purse.
The one who didn’t play the race card so deliberately and to my mind, unnecessarily.
The one who wanted to be judged on her stupendous talent not her skin color, and wanted us all to do the same.
