Brutal road rage video shows a woman and her stepmom beating a female driver unconscious in the middle of the road (9 Pics)

 Two Pasco County women face battery charges after a witness recorded them beating another woman during a road-rage encounter.

Investigators said at 3:45 p.m. on Tuesday, mother and daughter, Shelley Lyn Gemberling, 49, and Alicia Nicole Scarduzio, 20, got into an argument with Emily Bailey at the intersection of Little Road and Trouble Creek Road in New Port Richey.

Bailey was inside her vehicle, which was in the left lane of Little Road. Gemberling and Scarduzio’s vehicle was in the right lane.

“It was the longest red light of my life. They kept screaming at me, telling me they wanted to f—–g kill me. I just wanted the light to change,” Bailey said. “I never thought they would get out of their car and run toward me and pull me out of my vehicle.”

Investigators said Gemberling and Scarduzio got out of their vehicle and approached the open driver’s window, reached in and grabbed Bailey by her hair and neck and pulled her outside through the window.

Bailey, a veterinary technician, said she fell to the ground and then Gemberling and Scarduzio began punching her on her face and body. She says she thought she was going to die.

“They tried to drag me through my window. When I looked into the woman’s eyes, I saw pure rage. It looked like she wanted to kill me,” Bailey said.  “During those times, the daughter said, stop hitting my mom. Quit hitting my mom. And, then she hit me again. And, everything went black.”

Detectives say Bailey lost consciousness and suffered a broken nose and other injuries. Gemberling and Scarduzio did not stop beating her until a citizen intervened.

“Why are you attacking me when you were in the wrong?  You cut me off,” Bailey said.  “It could have been avoided. No one had to get hurt. No one had to go to jail. These were choices that they made.”

A witness reported seeing Gemberling pulling Bailey out of the vehicle through the window. The witness said she did not see Bailey strike the suspects at any time, but did see the suspects strike her.

Emily Bailey (pictured) told police she has been driving through north Tampa, Florida, when she was almost run off the road by Scarduzio and Gemberling, before the attack occurred 

“The mom grabbed me by my throat and started squeezing my neck. The daughter grabbed me by the back of my hair and started pulling,” Bailey recalled.

The witness also said that Scarduzio hit Bailey multiple times while she was on the ground.

“All I could think about was my son,” Bailey said.

Bailey said selfie-loving Scarduzio  had grabbed her hair, during the attack

Gemberling reportedly grabbed the victim by the throat during the beatdown

Video recorded by a witness showed Bailey on the ground –motionless- while Scarduzio hit her.

“It’s hard to watch.  It’s very traumatizing. I think I’ve cried the first four times I’ve seen it,” Bailey said.  “I question every time getting in the car now. Definitely, I don’t want to beat my horn at anyone.”

Bailey told deputies that Gemberling and Scarduzio approached her because of a traffic incident. As Bailey tried to raise her window, the pair reached into her vehicle and grabbed her by her hair and throat, then pulled her out of the vehicle and began beating her.

Deputies said Scarduzio denied punching Bailey in the face but did say she hit her with her open hand. Gemberling allegedly told deputies that Bailey got out of her vehicle and pushed her.

Alicia Nicole Scarduzio, 20, and Kelly Lyn Gamberling, 49, were arrested and charged with burglary and aggravated battery and were booked into the Land O’ Lakes Detention Center.

Horrifying video shows California cop shooting man SEVEN TIMES outside a 7-Eleven after suspect grabbed the officer's magazine (10 Pics)

 The spot outside a convenience store where a transient was shot and killed by a Huntington Beach police officer Friday morning became a hotbed of tension where where supporters of the officer and sympathizers with the victim yelled their versions of the viral story at each other.

“Cops are killing these kids because the look like they’re doing something, and they’re not doing anything,” one man said to another among the candles and flowers some people left for the deceased. “My son was killed by a police officer, so I know how dirty they are.”

The shooting was reported around 9:40 a.m. in the parking lot of a 7-Eleven at 6012 Edinger Avenue in Huntington Beach.

Video of the incident – which was also captured on cell phone video and posted to social media – showed an officer wrestling with the suspect.

The video appears to show the suspect grab an item from the officer’s belt prior to the shooting, possibly an ammunition clip.

At one point, the officer backed away and fired seven shots at the suspect, who then fell to the ground. The officer can be heard telling the suspect to “get down.”

He was taken to a hospital where he later died, police confirmed to CBS2. No officers were hurt.

“Clearly, this person attacked our police officer,” Huntington Beach Police Chief Robert Handy told reporters Friday. “And I don’t think that there’s any way an officer’s expected not to defend themselves.”

The shooting took place outside this 7-Eleven in Huntington Beach, California, on Friday morning

The circumstances that led up to the shooting were unclear, along with why officers were initially called the convenience store.

Huntington Beach did, however, say that the officer involved was not a rookie, not near retirement, and had years of experience.

A man who shot the video and didn’t want to be identified told CBS2 News the victim “wasn’t listening. He turned around and tried to throw a punch at the cop.”

“When the cops tell you to do something, you’re supposed to follow orders,” nearby resident Danny Thomas told CBS2.

Plywood covered a shattered storefront window a bullet from the officer’s gun penetrated. An earlier unconfirmed report that someone inside the convenience store was grazed by the bullet turned out to be erroneous.

In for a nasty surprise! Angry homeowner wraps car in cling-film after driver parks outside his house (4 Pics)

 A homeowner fed up of people parking outside his home took matters into his own hands by wrapping a stranger's car in CLING FILM.

Neil Junglas decided to get revenge on the driver of a chrome Skoda that has now been outside his Liverpool home for two days.

The 36-year-old said he saw the car pull up on Tuesday while he was making dinner for his daughter, before a woman got out and hopped into a taxi.

A man then got out of the car with two suitcases of luggage and also got in the taxi which drove off, the Liverpool Echo reported .

 Neil said: “They were clearly leaving their car there and just getting a taxi to the airport .

“Obviously they just wanted some free parking.

“Next door have a couple of cars as well so there isn’t really room for other cars to park on the road.”

 Neil complained he can no longer park his own car outside of his house because of the Skoda.

He said: “I thought it was cheeky leaving the car there so thought I’d leave them a nice surprise for when they got back.

“I work at Costco so I went and bought a big roll of cling-film from there.”

Neil said he then wrapped the entire car using an industrial sized roll of cling-film.

He told The Echo that the car has attracted lots of attention and people have been stopping to take pictures.

Neil added that police even came to check the car but said they couldn’t do anything about it because it isn’t illegally parked.

Amazing air raid shelter in Germany (19 Pics)

The entrance to this amazing shelter looks like your typical shelter. It has a heavy steal door and for protection and this one even includes a platform to lower stuff down into the shelter.

If you're lucky enough to get past the heavy duty steel vault doors, you'll come into the security center. The whole facility is able to be monitored from this room. It has radio connections to the outside world as well.

For the possibility of extended stays inside the shelter, it even has a seed room where you can grow vegetables and other plants. High powered grow lights hung from the ceiling provide the source of heat and light for the plants.

This is the air filtration system that allows for stale air to be pumped out and for fresh air to be brought in to supply the whole shelter. If this thing goes out then you're pretty much screwed

This is a wall of air filters inside the bunker. This also help control the quality of the air throughout the air raid shelter.

13 Health Benefits of Coffee, Based on Science

Coffee is actually very healthy.

It is loaded with antioxidants and beneficial nutrients that can improve your health.

The studies show that coffee drinkers have a much lower risk of several serious diseases.

Here are the top 13 health benefits of coffee, that have been confirmed in actual human studies.

1. Coffee Can Improve Energy Levels and Make You Smarter

Coffee can help people feel less tired and increase energy levels (1, 2).

This is because it contains a stimulant called caffeine, which is actually the most commonly consumed psychoactive substance in the world (3).

After you drink coffee, the caffeine is absorbed into the bloodstream. From there, it travels into the brain (4).

In the brain, caffeine blocks an inhibitory neurotransmitter called Adenosine.

When that happens, the amount of other neurotransmitters like norepinephrine and dopamine actually increases, leading to enhanced firing of neurons (5, 6).

Many controlled trials in humans show that coffee improves various aspects of brain function. This includes memory, mood, vigilance, energy levels, reaction times and general cognitive function (7, 8, 9).

BOTTOM LINE:Caffeine blocks an inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain, which leads to a stimulant effect. This improves energy levels, mood and various aspects of brain function.

2. Coffee Can Help You Burn Fat

Did you know that caffeine is found in almost every commercial fat burning supplement?

There's a good reason for that... caffeine is one of the very few natural substances that have actually been proven to aid fat burning.

Several studies show that caffeine can boost the metabolic rate by 3-11% (10, 11).

Other studies show that caffeine can specifically increase the burning of fat, by as much as 10% in obese individuals and 29% in lean people (12).

However, it is possible that these effects will diminish in long-term coffee drinkers.

BOTTOM LINE:Several studies show that caffeine can increase fat burning in the body and boost the metabolic rate.

3. The Caffeine Can Drastically Improve Physical Performance

Caffeine stimulates the nervous system, causing it to send signals to the fat cells to break down body fat (13, 14).

But caffeine also increases Epinephrine (Adrenaline) levels in the blood (15, 16).

This is the "fight or flight" hormone, designed to make our bodies ready for intense physical exertion.

Caffeine makes the fat cells break down body fat, releasing them into the blood as free fatty acids and making them available as fuel (17, 18).

Given these effects, it is not surprising to see that caffeine can improve physical performanceby 11-12%, on average (20, 29).

Because of this, it makes sense to have a strong cup of coffee about a half an hour before you head to the gym.

BOTTOM LINE:Caffeine can increase adrenaline levels and release fatty acids from the fat tissues. It also leads to significant improvements in physical performance.

4. There Are Essential Nutrients in Coffee

Coffee is more than just black water. Many of the nutrients in the coffee beans do make it into the final drink.

A single cup of coffee contains ( 21):

• Riboflavin (Vitamin B2): 11% of the RDA.
• Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5): 6% of the RDA.
• Manganese and Potassium: 3% of the RDA.
• Magnesium and Niacin (B3): 2% of the RDA.

Although this may not seem like a big deal, most people are drinking more than one cup per day. If you drink 3-4, then these amounts quickly add up.

BOTTOM LINE:Coffee contains several important nutrients, including Riboflavin, Pantothenic Acid, Manganese, Potassium, Magnesium and Niacin.

5. Coffee May Lower Your Risk of Type II Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is a gigantic health problem, currently afflicting about 300 million people worldwide.

It is characterized by elevated blood sugars in the context of insulin resistance or an inability to secrete insulin.

For some reason, coffee drinkers have a significantly reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

The studies show that people who drink the most coffee have a 23-50% lower risk of getting this disease, one study showing a reduction as high as 67% (22, 23, 24, 25, 26).

According to a massive review that looked at data from 18 studies with a total of 457,922 individuals, each daily cup of coffee was associated with a 7% reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes (27).

BOTTOM LINE:Several observational studies show that coffee drinkers have a much lower risk of getting type II diabetes, a serious disease that currently afflicts about 300 million people worldwide.

6. Coffee May Protect You From Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia

Alzheimer's disease is the most common neurodegenerative disease and the leading cause of dementia worldwide.

This disease usually affects people over 65 years of age.

Unfortunately, there is no known cure for Alzheimer's.

However, there are several things you can do to prevent the disease from showing up in the first place.

This includes the usual suspects like eating healthy and exercising, but drinking coffee may be incredibly effective as well.

Several studies show that coffee drinkers have up to a 65% lower risk of getting Alzheimer's disease (28, 29).

BOTTOM LINE:Coffee drinkers have a much lower risk of getting Alzheimer's disease, which is a leading cause of dementia worldwide.

7. Caffeine May Lower The Risk of Parkinson's

Parkinson's disease is the second most common neurodegenerative disease, right after Alzheimer's.

It is caused by death of dopamine-generating neurons in the brain.

Same as with Alzheimer's, there is no known cure, which makes it that much more important to focus on prevention.

In studies, coffee drinkers have a much lower risk of developing Parkinson's disease, with a reduction in risk ranging from 32-60% ( 30, 31, 32, 33).

In this case, it appears to be the caffeine itself that is causing the effect. People who drink decaf don't have a lower risk of Parkinson's (34).

BOTTOM LINE:Coffee drinkers have up to a 60% lower risk of getting Parkinson's disease, the second most common neurodegenerative disorder.

8. Coffee Appears to Have Protective Effects on The Liver

The liver is an amazing organ that carries out hundreds of important functions in the body.

Several common diseases primarily affect the liver, including hepatitis, fatty liver disease and others.

Many of these diseases can lead to a condition called cirrhosis, in which the liver has been largely replaced by scar tissue.

It turns out that coffee may protect against cirrhosis. People who drink 4 or more cups per day have up to an 80% lower risk (35, 36, 37).

BOTTOM LINE:Coffee drinkers have a much lower risk of developing cirrhosis, which can be caused by several diseases that affect the liver.

9. Coffee Can Fight Depression and Make You Happier

Depression is a serious mental disorder that causes a significantly reduced quality of life.

It is incredibly common and about 4.1% of people in the U.S. currently meet the criteria for clinical depression.

In a Harvard study published in 2011, women who drank 4 or more cups per day had a 20% lower risk of becoming depressed (38).

Another study with 208,424 individuals found that those who drank 4 or more cups per day were 53% less likely to commit suicide (39).

BOTTOM LINE:Coffee appears to lower the risk of developing depression and may dramatically reduce the risk of suicide.

10. Coffee Drinkers Have a Lower Risk of Some Types of Cancer

Cancer is one of the world's leading causes of death and is characterized by uncontrolled growth of cells in the body.

Coffee appears to be protective against two types of cancer... liver cancer and colorectal cancer.

Liver cancer is the third leading cause of cancer death in the world, while colorectal cancer ranks fourth (40).

Studies show that coffee drinkers have up to a 40% lower risk of liver cancer (41, 42).

One study of 489,706 individuals found that those who drank 4-5 cups of coffee per day had a 15% lower risk of colorectal cancer (43).

BOTTOM LINE:Liver and colorectal cancer are the 3rd and 4th leading causes of cancer death worldwide. Coffee drinkers have a lower risk of both.

11. Coffee Does Not Cause Heart Disease and May Lower The Risk of Stroke

It is often claimed that caffeine can increase blood pressure.

This is true, but the effect is small (3-4 mm/Hg) and usually goes away if you drink coffee regularly (44, 45).

However, the effect may persist in some people, so keep that in mind if you have elevated blood pressure (46, 47).

That being said, the studies do NOT support the myth that coffee raises the risk of heart disease (48, 49).

In fact, there is some evidence that women who drink coffee have a reduced risk of heart disease (50).

Some studies also show that coffee drinkers have a 20% lower risk of stroke (51, 52).

BOTTOM LINE:Coffee may cause mild increases in blood pressure, which usually diminish over time. Coffee drinkers do not have an increased risk of heart disease, but a slightly lower risk of stroke.

12. Coffee May Help You Live Longer

Given that coffee drinkers are less likely to get many diseases, it makes sense that coffee could help you live longer.

There are actually several observational studies showing that coffee drinkers have a lower risk of death.

In two very large studies, drinking coffee was associated with a 20% lower risk of death in men and a 26% lower risk of death in women, over a period of 18-24 years (53).

This effect appears to be particularly strong in type II diabetics. In one study, diabetics who drank coffee had a 30% lower risk of death during a 20 year study period (54).

BOTTOM LINE:Several studies show that coffee drinkers live longer and have a lower risk of premature death.

13. Coffee is The Biggest Source of Antioxidants in The Western Diet

For people who eat a standard Western diet, coffee may actually be the healthiest aspect of the diet.

That's because coffee contains a massive amount of antioxidants.

In fact, studies show that most people get more antioxidants from coffee than both fruits and vegetables... combined (55, 56, 57).

Coffee is one of the healthiest beverages on the planet. Period.
