Remembering the Titanic Disaster 105 Years Ago Today | Titanic Disaster - Genuine Footage (1911-1912) (+ Sinking in Real Time)

105 years ago today, the 'unsinkable' did the unthinkable....

The sinking of the RMS Titanic occurred on the night of 14 April through to the morning of 15 April 1912 in the North Atlantic Ocean, four days into the ship's maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. The largest passenger liner in service at the time, Titanic had an estimated 2,224 people on board when she struck an iceberg at around 23:40 (ship's time) on Sunday, 14 April 1912. Her sinking two hours and forty minutes later at 02:20 (05:18 GMT) on Monday, 15 April resulted in the deaths of more than 1,500 people, which made it one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history.

Today is... International Day of Pink

The International Day of Pink is a Canadian anti-bullying event held annually during the second Wednesday of April. The event started when students David Shepherd and Travis Price saw another student, who was wearing a pink shirt, being bullied in their Central Kings Rural High School in Nova Scotia, and deciding to show support for the student by getting everyone at their school to wear pink the following day.

The initiative inspired youth at Jer's Vision (now known as CCGSD, Canadian Centre for Gender and Sexual Diversity), who founded The International Day of Pink, an effort to support their peers internationally with resources and ways to make their schools safer.

In 2012 over 8 million people participated.

SHAREABLE Tip #17 - Remove RUST RINGS with ASPIRIN!

We all get them - rust rings, on our tubs and sinks so what's the best way to remove them? With aspirins! After all, we always have a few aspirins kickin' around, don't we?...

REMOVE RUST RINGS WITH ASPIRIN!

If shaving cream cans or other metal-bottomed containers have left rust spots around your bathtub, use uncoated aspirins to get the stains out!

Apply a few crushed aspirins onto a dampened surface, let the aspirin sit for about 10 minutes. Wipe clean.
