While auditioning for America’s Got Talent, multimedia artists Oskar and Gaspar invited judge Heidi Klum to the stage, outfitted her in a white turtleneck catsuit and asked her to stand with her legs apart and her hands on her hips. Once Klum was in position, the team began their amazing body mapping projections, transforming Klum into a canvas of changing outfits, animals and beings.

We work as a team, we celebrate as a team! Thank you @AGT for this moment! Excited about the next step! #NBC #AGT https://t.co/jHHFLKNIYS

A Lively Tortoise Runs Freely Around a Pet Store With a Tethered Balloon Showing His Location

by Lori Dorn at 2:56 PM on June 28, 2017

While visiting Petland in Fort Walton Beach, Florida, Emerald Coast realtor Char Rohrer of Beachdeal Realty noticed the unusual sight of a little tortoise with a purple balloon tied around his shell running freely around the store.

“Petland” in Ft. Walton Beach, Florida, gives a turtle the run of the place – by tying a ballon around his shell 2 keep track of where he is at all times in the store!!! A store clerk told me, “he loves his balloon…” I followed this turtle around the entire store taking his photo – he turned out to be extremely energetic!!!

Wanting to know more about this curious situation, Rohrer spoke with an employee who told her that the tortoise was an African Spur Thigh named Sebastian who lives with another employee. Sebastian only comes to work on certain occasions, but has complete run of the place whenever he’s there, so they use a brightly colored balloon as a convenient way to keep track of wherever the lively little terrapin goes. Sebastian is very small right now, but he is expected to grow to a hefty size.

He is only 10-15 lbs right now. He can grow up to 150 lbs. He is a pet of an employee who works in the pet store and brings him into work sometimes. Which is why I have never seen him in the store before – as I go in that pet store at least a couple of times a month.

Newly Diagnosed Autistic Teenager With ADHD Launches a YouTube Series to Help Others Like Her

by Lori Dorn at 1:06 PM on June 28, 2017

After being newly diagnosed with a form of autism with ADHD, a rather brave British teenager named Lily Manning (Lil Blue Robin) has launched her own YouTube series that focuses on how she experiences the world, the challenges she faces and how she can offer information, advice and support to other teenagers who see the world in the same way she does.

Since being diagnosed with autism after a lifetime of confusion and a few hard years of mental illness, I have discovered how difficult it is to find help and information for girls with autism, particularly teenagers and young adults. As an autistic teenage girl working it out as I go along I have decided to start this channel to help others or families of others who might be going through a similar situation.
