Justice Secretary Leila de Lima and BIR Commissioner Kim Henares took the trending ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.

Perceived to be two of the toughest women in President Aquino's Cabinet, Justice Secretary Leila de Lima and BIR Commissioner Kim Henares took the trending ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.

BIR Commissioner Kim Henares

MANILA, Philippines—Internal Revenue Commissioner Kim Henares had shown in the past that ice runs through her veins when running after tax evaders, but on Tuesday, she had a bucket of ice and ice-cold water poured onto her in an effort to raise awareness on a disease that affects the nervous system.
Hernares accepted the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge posed to her by news anchor Anthony Taberna. The dare is for a fundraising effort to raise awareness on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or Lou Gehrig’s disease.

A sudden hail storm in Novosibirsk (Russia) 12.07.2014

It’s all fun and games at the beach until large balls of ice fall from the sky. That’s exactly what happens in this video, which shows cheerful, smiling Russians suddenly freak out and run for cover as debris starts flying and alarmingly forceful hail begins to pelt them (that shot of ice hitting the water looks down right apocalyptic). The original uploader says the hail brought with it a sudden 35-degree temperature drop (Fahrenheit), which would probably have been greatly appreciated in the supposedly 100+ degree temperatures had it not been for, you know, painful meteorological phenomena.
