Engineering students from Brigham Young University designed a ventilator that will cost less than $500 USD to produce. A normal ventilator cost about $40,000 USD and third-world countries do not have the money for them. This new under $500 ventilator is a tremendous achievement that will help reduce the cost of getting these devices available to premature newborns in third-world countries. They currently have to use hand-pumped ventilator 24-hours-a-day in order to keep their baby alive. And in many cases it just do not work. About about 1 million newborns die in the hand-pumped ventilators each year. Hurray for bright students. They are our future.
 
A man leaves a $1,000 tip for a dog's surgery.

While tending bar at the Holiday Inn in Clinton, New Jersey, Christina Summitt got to chatting with a friendly couple before the place got busy. The man asked her if she had dogs of her own. She confided that she have a Great Dane-black Labrador mix named Tucker at the veterinary hospital after having emergency surgery hours earlier for having swallowed a hard plastic ball. She was worried about him.

The man said something about surgery being expensive. She confided the estimate was around $2,700, but she would do whatever she had to do for the dog, whom she adopted in 2011. Summitt, 37, works three jobs: full-time as a chef at the hotel, Saturdays as a bartender, and as a food prep worker two days a week at a deli in her town. Her husband works full-time and Summitt has three stepchildren.

The couple ordered drinks and dinner at the bar. When it was time to close out their $80 tab, the man filled out the receipt with a tip for $1,000. Summitt could not believe what she saw and when she ask the man "why would you do this?". He told her to put it toward Tucker's medical costs and they will be praying for Tucker.
