Tulisa is most definitely one of the most down to earth celebs we know, and last night proved that more than ever when she accidentally gave us a flash of her Spanx!
Yep, even the rich and famous need a bit of supportive help sometimes.
The X Factor judge was on her way to the NTAs when the snaps were taken and we reckon rather than cringe, T should embrace her wardrobe malfunction.
After all, we have all been there... Granted, normally at the end of the night rather than the beginning.

But we definitely find it a comfort to know that even Tulisa feels she needs to squeeze in her wobbly bits.
Even though she almost definitely has no wobbly bits to speak of.
However, Tulisa soon managed to sort herself out and was looking hot, no Spanx in sight, by the time she was ready to hit the red carpet:

Tulisa was out representing The X Factor along with fellow judge Nicole Scherzinger however, ended up losing out to Strictly Come Dancing.
So what with the Bridget Jones pants flash, not a great night for the N Dubz star...
Still at least she got to chat to us!
We caught up with the star on the red carpet and keep checking back today for all of our exclusive videos from the awards.


Cisco has patched a serious vulnerability in all versions of its Adaptive Security Appliance software that could allow a remote attacker to bypass the authentication mechanism by spoofing the Kerberos Key Distribution Center and gain control of the affected appliance.
The bug (CVE-2020-3125) lies in the way that the ASA software handles the authentication process among the client, server, and KDC. Researchers at Silverfort discovered that an attacker who could hijack network traffic between the client and the KDC could spoof the KDC’s responses to the client and eventually bypass the authentication mechanism altogether. The vulnerability is only exploitable if the device is configured to use Kerberos for authentication, and Cisco has published fixed versions of the ASA software for all of the affected releases.
“Cisco uses the Kerberos authentication protocol in many ASA interfaces – for example, VPN, opening firewall sessions, and administrative access, either through the web management console or through SSH. Therefore, bypassing Kerberos authentication allows an attacker to take over the Cisco appliance, bypass its security, and gain access to other networks,” Silverfort said in its advisory.
“Apparently, KDC authentication to the server is often overlooked. Perhaps because requiring it complicates the configuration requirements. However, if the KDC does not authenticate to the server, the security of the protocol is entirely compromised, allowing an attacker that hijacked the network traffic to authenticate to Cisco ASA with any password, even a wrong one.”
Kerberos is a decades-old authentication system that was developed as one of the early methods of single sign-on and it is still used widely today in a variety of products. The system relies on a three-way authentication scheme involving the client, the server, and the KDC. If the Kerberos scheme is implemented incorrectly, an attacker with a privileged network position can perform a KDC spoofing attack, create his own KDC, and grant himself access to the target service.
The problem of an attacker potentially impersonating the KDC has been discussed for a long time and KDC spoofing attacks against specific implementations are by no means new. In 2000, Dug Song, cofounder of Duo Security, published an advisory detailing the attack against then-current versions of Kerberos.
“The protocol consists of three exchanges to provide mutual authentication for the user and the server accessed. When users log in, they enter their credentials and the Authentication Service (AS) exchange takes place. The user gets a Ticket Granting Ticket (TGT), which is later used to obtain tickets to specific services during the Ticket Granting Service (TGS) Exchange. The ticket is then used during the Client/Server Exchange to complete the authentication,” Silverfort said in its advisory.
The ASA software is the operating system for Cisco’s line of ASA network security devices, which includes several firewalls. The Kerboros vulnerability affects all of the supported versions of the ASA software. Cisco said in its security advisory that there are no known workarounds for the vulnerability, so customers running affected ASA versions should update to the fixed release.
“A vulnerability in the Kerberos authentication feature of Cisco Adaptive Security Appliance (ASA) Software could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to impersonate the Kerberos key distribution center (KDC) and bypass authentication on an affected device that is configured to perform Kerberos authentication for VPN or local device access,” the Cisco advisory says.
“The vulnerability is due to insufficient identity verification of the KDC when a successful authentication response is received. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by spoofing the KDC server response to the ASA device. This malicious response would not have been authenticated by the KDC. A successful attack could allow an attacker to bypass Kerberos authentication.”

This past election cycle was made more interesting, not so much for the main event between Pres. Barack Obama and presidential wannabe Mitt Romney but, by the ballot initiatives in Washington and Colorado that legalized the recreational use of marijuana in those states. There are eighteen states and the District of Columbia that have legalized its use for medical purposes and several others in the process of doing the same. Now with the possibility of recreational marijuana growing in popularity among the American population, cannabis companies similar to montana marijuana are looking at how federal law will affect them and the marijuana industry. With there being so much to this particular industry, by reading about CBD News, hopefully you can stay up to date with what goes on. Just like with anything, the more you know, the better. For example, did you know that new strains of marijuana are being discovered and developed on a regular basis? Cannabis growers often experiment using skywalker fem seeds as well as other seed types to produce brand new strains. This is an incredibly exciting time for the marijuana industry.
Currently under federal law, marijuana is classified under the Controlled Substances Act as a Schedule I narcotic whose cultivation, distribution, possession and use are criminal acts. Besides the legal ramifications there are the social and economic impacts. Both states are looking into controlling marijuana sales and use the same as they do alcohol, which makes a great deal of sense. In a recent national poll taking by Quinnipaic found that across the entire country 51 percent of American voters think marijuana should be legal and 44 think it should be illegal.
In an interview with ABC News’ Barbara Walters, President Obama said that at this time he does not support legalization of marijuana but needed to find a middle ground on punishing use of the drug. He then punted to congress for the solution:
“This is a tough problem, because Congress has not yet changed the law,” Obama said. “I head up the executive branch; we’re supposed to be carrying out laws. And so what we’re going to need to have is a conversation about, How do you reconcile a federal law that still says marijuana, and related products like micron bags, are a federal offense and state laws that say that it’s legal?”
Either the president is unaware or just trying to avoid the responsibility but blaming congress for not changing the law is false, as FDL‘s Jon Walker at its Just Say Now blog points out, the president has does not need congress to change marijuana status:
With 99 percent of federal laws this would be the case, but the Controlled Substance Act is fairly unique. The law explicitly gives the executive branch the right to change the legal status of any drug without Congressional involvement. If the administration, after examining the latest scientific research, determines that cannabis shouldn’t be Schedule I it has the power to move it to a lower schedule, which would make medical marijuana legal under federal law, or even unschedule it all together, which would effectively legalize it.
Several sitting governors in states with medical marijuana have petitioned Obama asking him to reschedule marijuana, and currently the Obama administration is actually fighting an effort in federal court to get the executive branch to provide a legitimate review of marijuana. There is no reason Obama can’t simply stop fighting the case and reschedule marijuana without needing to involve Congress.
MSNBC host Chris Hayes and his panel guests on his December 2 Up with Chris Hayes talked about how Washington and Colorado are dealing with the result of the ballot measures that legalized marijuana in those states:

Together Trial showing significantly lower hospitalization/extended ER visits with fluvoxamine treatment. Adherence was only 73.2%. Symptom onset was unspecified or >= 4 days for 57% of patients. The schedule of study activities specifies treatment administration only one day after randomization, adding an additional day delay. Overall mortality is high for the patient population. Results may be impacted by late treatment, poor SOC, and may be specific to local variants [science.sciencemag.org, thelancet.com]
. Per-protocol analysis shows significantly improved results in this trial, however this may be subject to bias - the probability of adherence may be related to the probability of the outcome.
Regarding the combined hospitalization/extended ER observation outcome, authors have noted that at the study sites, extended medical observation was essentially equivalent to being hospitalized. “These were not standard emergency rooms but instead were COVID-19 emergency centers that were set up due to hospitals being overloaded,” Reiersen noted in an email to The Scientist. “A stay in these centers >6 hours was an indication that the patient was receiving care equivalent to hospitalization.”
Authors state "this study is only the second study to show an important treatment benefit for a repurposed drug in the early treatment population", however the actual number is at least 66 based on our database at the time of publication, using a conservative definition of at least 10% benefit (with statistical significance).
The total dose used is less than half of that in Lenze et al. There is an unusual amount of missing data - age is unknown for 6.5% of patients according to the sub-group analysis. Both age <=50 and >50 show better results on the primary outcome than the overall result. The number of placebo patients changed significantly between the preprint and journal version. The number of treatment patients with viral clearance results reduced significantly between the preprint and journal version. Also see

Authors do not specify if the placebo looks identical to the film-coated Luvox tablets. Reportedly there is no registration of manufacturing for matching tablets by Abbott in Brazil, and no import license for identical placebo tablets abroad. This would be an additional reason for blinding failure if the placebo tablets are not identical in appearance.

Russia is home to the fastest-growing HIV epidemic in the world, with an estimated 1 in 100 Russians living with HIV. Russia's epidemic is unique as it is largely driven by injecting drug use, although it is now spreading into the general population. An estimated eight in 10 people living with HIV became infected through sharing needles. Injecting drug users are one of the most marginalised groups in our society.
I know, from being a former addict myself, that when caught in the cycle of drug addiction, people do not care about contracting HIV. I remember very well that there could be 10 people in a room and they would all share the same needle. Even if they did have money to buy clean syringes, they didn't because they were too lazy. So that's how a lot of people became infected.
That's why successfully treating drug addiction is critical to tackling the spread of HIV. But here in Russia, drug addiction is treated as a crime, not a disease.
The biggest challenge I see is the huge intolerance, stigma and discrimination against people with HIV. Things are slowly improving, as awareness of the drug problem and HIV is higher than five years ago. But from my experience from the rehab centres, ex-addicts living with HIV face huge stigma and discrimination – from society at large, as well as from much of the public health system. Sometimes it even comes from their own family. In most cases this is simply because of ignorance. So most people living with HIV feel they have no option but to lead a double life, hiding their status.
It is very hard for me to know if Russia will achieve MDG6, as the picture in the whole of the country is hard to see from here. But from my experience I see that access to treatment and awareness of HIV has improved since 2005. We refer patients to regional Aids centres where they can access testing, counselling and treatment. But in comparison with our European neighbours or the US, it is very poor.
Funding is a significant issue, particularly for non-government work and non-commercial operations, as they seek to stem the spread of HIV among the most vulnerable groups. A sad reality is that funding for palliative care, such as hospices, is increasingly necessary. Russia needs more training and better expertise in preventing the spread of HIV, particularly among drug users.

Australia's engineering deans have raised concerns that proposed increases to university tuition fees could lead to a skills shortage in the near future.
In a letter addressed to Education Minister Christopher Pyne, the Australian Council of Engineering Deans warn of the possible implications of the Coalition government’s proposed increases to tuition fees for tertiary education.
According to Daryoush Habibi, council president and head of engineering at Edith Cowan University, increases to engineering education fees could lead to translate into a skills shortage in decades to come as students shy away from more costly university courses.
“We foresee a decline in the pipeline of students from school into engineering careers that Australia needs to ensure our long term economic prosperity and health,” said Habibi.
According to Universities Australia, the cuts to funding outlined by the government would result in an increase in tuition fees for STEM students of a staggering 58 per cent, raising annual costs to $14,215 following the launch of fee deregulation in 2016. This compares to an average increase in tuition fees across disciplines of around 26 per cent.
Habibi pointed out that the resulting decline in the engineering talent pool could have severe ramifications for the Australian economy as a whole, and may necessitate the introduction of potentially costly compensating measures as a consequence.
“We would then expect that within a few years time, more critical measures would have to be taken to reverse the trends away from engineering and sciences,” he said.
Data from the council indicates that Australia already suffers from a shortage of domestically trained engineers and has become dependent upon migrant workers to compensate the shortfall. According to its figures first generation migrants comprised 58 per cent of the 207,379 engineers working in Australia in 2011.
In its letter to Pyne, the council requested that it be allowed to participate in the government’s working groups responsible further development of its higher education policies.
The sending of the letter follows closely on the release of a statement by Engineers Australia criticising the proposed education changes contained in the Federal Budget as posing a “triple threat” to students.
Engineers Australia projects that the 20 per cent cutback in government contributions to courses from 2016 will results in a reduction in the average annual government contribution for engineering courses from $17,104 to $12,045, or an increase in overall student contributions towards a four-year course from $34,584 to $54,820.

Dahlias are easily the stars of the summer flower garden; covered with enormous and flashy blossoms from midsummer into the fall. But these natives of Mexico grow from tubers that can’t tolerate freezing temperatures. The tubers must not stay in the ground over the winter in any but the warmest growing regions. But that doesn’t mean you have to say good-bye to your dahlias at summer’s end. It is easy to dig up the tubers and store them for the winter so they’ll be ready to plant come spring. Here’s how:
Digging up the Tubers
1. You want to make sure to get the dahlia tubers out of the ground before the first frost. A good time to think about digging is when the plants start to die back at summer’s end.
2. Cut the dahlia plant back until only two to three inches (5 to 8 centimeters) remain above ground.
3. Dig with a shovel or pitchfork around the base of the plant being careful not to nick the tuber or cut the roots.
4. Lift the tuber with attached roots from the ground and gently shake the dirt from it.
5. Rinse the tubers with water from a garden hose, careful not to pierce the tuber’s skin. Use a sharp knife to cut away rotted sections.
Drying and Storing the Tubers
Dry the tubers for several weeks, if possible, by setting them out in a place, inside or out, that won’t freeze, gets some indirect sun, and has good air circulation. When done drying, cut away the remains of the base of the plant.
Store the tubers until spring in a cool, dark place that doesn’t freeze. You will continue to want to make sure there’s good air circulation, and that the tubers stay dry. Paper bags, cardboard boxes, milk crates, and wooden crates make good storage containers, just make sure air can move in them. These can be stored in a cool basement, attic, or garage until spring.
With a little help from you, your dahlias can bloom and re-bloom year after year. This fall, simply follow these steps for digging up and storing dahlia bulbs. When spring rolls around, you’ll be ready to replant them for another season of stellar beauty.

Roundabouts may be coming to Route 159 near Red Rock, Route 160 in Pahrump
The Nevada Department of Transportation kicked off a virtual public meeting Tuesday regarding the long-term outlook of Routes 159 and 160.
Roundabouts could soon be coming to state Route 159 near Red Rock and at state Route 160 in Pahrump.
The Nevada Department of Transportation kicked off a virtual public meeting Tuesday regarding the long-term outlook of Routes 159 and 160, with four in-person meetings also scheduled this month.
The ongoing study takes into account crash data, land use, multimodal opportunities and traffic congestion on Route 160 from Las Vegas Boulevard in Las Vegas to Road Runner Road in Pahrump and on Route 159 from Route 160 to the 215 Beltway in Summerlin.
The preliminary recommended work is broken up into different sections depending on the highway and the area the work will take place. All plans are subject to change following the round of public meetings and further analysis.
Plans for Route 159 include upgrades for the Red Rock area, which serves as a popular destination for residents and visitors.
Initial plans include adding four roundabouts at side streets that experience high use. Those include the entrance to Calico Basin, the Red Rock visitor center entrance, Red Rock Canyon overlook and the Red Rock scenic loop exit.
NDOT spokesman Justin Hopkins said roundabouts “can be used to help control corridor speeds and crash severity. … Their use is allowed in situations when traffic signals may not be warranted as required by federal guidelines.”
Increasing safety for those who use the scenic stretch of highway for cycling is also addressed by adding a buffer lane between the bike lane and the general purpose travel lane to keep vehicular traffic at a distance from cyclists. This would be in addition to the planned $100 million, 20-mile Red Rock Legacy Trail, set to be constructed in five phases.
“Initial public feedback has indicated there will still be desire for a subset of cyclists to still want to use S.R. 159 shoulders for biking,” Hopkins said.
A new traffic signal is set to be added on Route 159 at the Sky Vista Drive intersection in Summerlin. That is expected to be included in Phase 1 work of the Red Rock Legacy Trail set to begin next year.
Parking and trailhead upgrades are also in the plans for Middle Oak Creek trailhead, South Oak Creek trailhead and First Oak Creek trailhead.
Route 160 in Pahrump
Route 160 is set be widened from one travel lane in each direction to two travel lanes both ways from Road Runner to just past Hafen Ranch Road.
Widening the two-lane road to four lanes with a center turn lane or raised median island would provide a consistent roadway throughout the developed area.
In addition, roundabouts are slated to be added at Hafen Ranch, the entrance to the Mountain Falls community and at Calvada Boulevard. Improvements to the the busy intersection of Route 160 and State Route 372 are also in the tentative plans.
Plans also call for flattening the median slopes on a rural stretch of the highway from Mountain Springs to Pahrump.
Route 160 in Southwest Las Vegas
Initial plans call for widening Route 160 to four lanes in each direction from Fort Apache Road to Buffalo. It would be similar to the four-lane stretch in place between Rainbow Boulevard and Decatur.
An operational analysis of the stretch of Route 160 between Decatur and Interstate 15 is also part of the project. Potential upgrades for the stretch include roadway widening, frontage road systems, grade-separated intersections or a combination of the alternatives.
The public is asked to provide their comments, recommendations and concerns on the planned two highway upgrades online at www.ndotsr160.com through Oct. 7.
Contact Mick Akers at email@example.com or 702-387-2920. Follow @mickakers on Twitter.
In person public meetings
All will be from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. with a formal presentation at 5:30 p.m.
Sept. 19 — Nye Communities Coalition: 1020 E. Wilson Road, Pahrump
Sept. 20 — Windmill Library: 7060 W. Windmill Lane, Las Vegas

The Russian Federation Government Commission on Power Industry Development approves modernization of three generation units at Krasnodar power plant
Russia -based energy firm Lukoil’s wholly owned subsidiary Lukoil-Kubanenergo has secured approval from the Russian Government to upgrade three generation units of the Krasnodar heat and power plant located in Krasnodar Region.
The Russian Federation Government Commission on Power Industry Development has approved the modernization of three generation units, each with 150MW capacity. The units are scheduled to be commissioned in 2022 – 2024.
The facilities will be equipped to produce electricity required to power the wholesale market, and will be supplied under contracts with a 14% base rate of return.
According to Lukoil, the generation units’ running time exceeds 400 thousand hours, which is twice the standard.
The firm said in a statement: “In the past five years, the average rate of utilization of installed capacity of the Krasnodar heat and power plant was 74%, quite high for this kind of equipment.”
Krasnodar power plant upgrade project involves replacement of all steam turbines
The modernization project will feature Russian-made steam power equipment with higher cost-performance ratio and advanced environmental properties.
Intended to significantly improving performance and operational life of the plant, the upgrade project will replace all steam turbines and key units of boiler equipment.
Lukoil, further said: “The main source of heat for consumers in the city of Krasnodar, including households and public facilities, the generation units are also a key element of sustainable reliability of power supplies in Russia’s south.”
Commissioned in 1963-1966, the Krasnodar heat and power generation plant serves as the main facility for combined generation of electric and thermal power in Krasnodar region.
Lukoil commissioned a 410MW combined-cycle gas turbine at the plant in 2012, increasing installed capacity of the plant by half. This also resulted in reduced fuel consumption by a quarter.
Recently, Lukoil said it has commissioned a 24MW hydroelectric power-generation unit at the Belorechensk Hydroelectric Power Plant located in the Krasnodar Region.
As part of Reconstruction Phase I, Lukoil is also installing another similar hydroelectric power-generation unit to replace outdated equipment at the facility. It is also upgrading all the auxiliary systems of the power plant.

Fresh and colourful white bean salad bursting with Mediterranean flavours. Easy to make, ready in 10 minutes and perfect as a side dish or healthy lunch.
This quick and easy bean salad is a real staple in my kitchen. Made from basic pantry ingredients, it can be served on its own or as a side dish.
Perfect for make ahead lunches, bean salad holds up well in the fridge. I think it actually tastes better after about 24 hours as the flavours have time to meld and infuse. It transports well and is really easy to switch up and enhance to make a healthy and nutritious meal.
- Tinned White Beans
- Cherry Tomatoes
- Bell Pepper
- Red Onion
- Olive Oil
- Lemon Juice
Tinned Bean Salad
Canned white beans are a staple in my kitchen – nutritious and convenient, they can make so many meals. For this easy Mediterranean style salad I like to use haricot or navy beans as they are small with a nice nutty bite yet still have a creamy texture.
But you really can use any white bean you like – butter beans or lima beans, cannellini beans and chickpeas or garbanzo beans all work perfectly. You could even use multiple types of beans if you want to make a big batch.
White beans are nutritional powerhouses and are a great source of protein, fiber and multiple essential nutrients like folate, magnesium and vitamin B6.
I love beans for a healthy, filling lunch.
The beauty of this salad is how versatile it is. You can easily omit any of the salad ingredients that you don’t like or have, and switch up with whatever is in the fridge.
- Swap the cucumber for some peppery sliced radish
- Add green olives in place of the tomatoes
- Use shallot or spring onion in place of the red onion
- Instead of lemon juice use lime juice or red wine or sherry vinegar
- Add additional herbs like basil or dill.
- Stir in a couple of teaspoons of extra seasoning like za’atar, sumac or Aleppo pepper
The below recipe for Mediterranean White Bean Salad makes 2 generous portions for a main meal, or can feed 4 as a side dish. You can easily double or triple the ingredients to make a larger batch.
You can serve it as is, or add some extra ingredients to enhance.
- Add some extra protein – hard boiled eggs, flaked tuna, cooked prawns or grilled chicken are all tasty additions. Bean salad goes so well with these Turkey Meatballs too.
- Combine with some grains like rice, bulgur or couscous.
- Crumbled feta cheese, mini mozzarella balls or grilled halloumi are all winners when added to white bean salad. One of my go-to lunches is bean salad with a couple of slices of grilled halloumi and a dollop of hummus.
- Serve as a side for BBQs, Picnics or casual meals. This salad makes a great side for any grilled protein – I especially love it with grilled fish.
I hope you like this recipe as much as I do! Please leave a comment or tag me on Instagram @carrieskitchen_ if you make it!

- 2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp salt
- Drain the tin of beans and rinse well.
- Combine the olive oil and lemon juice in a large bowl and sprinkle in the salt.
- Add the diced onion, pepper, cucumber, tomatoes and beans to the bowl along with the chopped parsley and mix well. Add additional salt to taste if required.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 days. Stir well before serving. (For best results, I do like to allow the salad to sit for at least 20 minutes before serving.)

This is an excellent book of courage, determination, faith, hope, forgiveness, selflessness, perseverance and dedication to a cause no matter what the cost It goes so much farther than racism or segregation I highly recommend this book to anyone It is very well written and has much to teach us about the beauty of the human spirit and how to fight a true fight and win well so that real change can occur.
The book was very interesting I love reading books that involve segregation Reading the struggles that the African American went through and how they handled it A girl went to a white school and was harassed daily They didnt want blacks in their school They ended up kicking her out of the school and she pursued her dreams behind the white people without angrying the whites She went to college and became a journalist.
I m reading Warriors Don t Cry by Ian Campbell and I find it very moving how this young teenager fought to have her education that she deserved and how she stood strong even when light dynomite was thrusted at her She stood up to the bullies of the world and I hope people of the world learn from her braveness, because in my eyes, she is a true Warrior.
Considering adding this to my 9th grade curriculum Non fiction account of the Little Rock Nine and their year of integration in the 1950 s Very interesting to see how life has changed in such a short time The story is compelling and well told, with some disturbing images and language I think this could inspire some outstanding discussion in the right forum.
Warriors Don t Cry is a fasinating novel about the 9 teenagers that integrated Little Rock High School The book consists of the events they all experianced in such emotional detail I never knew how intense and serious the situation actually was until I read it I highly recomend it to anyone interested in learning about civil rights.
Wow I ll be using this with students in the fall and cannot wait to experience it alongside them it demands discussion Will pair with nonfiction, images from the time, and possibly the YAL text that just came out this past year Mentor recommended that we also consider the recent adult title exploring Elizabeth Eckford and Hazel Byran s meeting as adults.
So far, I have to say that this book is the greatest History Memoir writteen in history It was a very rough time period for the Little Rock Nine It talks from Melba s one of the nine points of view as in what happenec to her eveyrday at Cental High It s a great book for anybody who s into history GREAT BOOK
It was a very emotional and nice book I think that the part when Link talks about her marrying a white person, since she said she couldn t date a white I was kinda sad when Grandma India died Honestly, she was my favorite person in the book.
It was very good
I like it so far
A good book about the human issues in the US All US citizens need to read a book like this to understand our history and treatment of the blacks in the twentieth century.
This Book Is Gettin Very Interesting Seems Very Eye Opening.
This is the story of the 9 black children who first integrated into Central High in Little Rock It is written by one of the 9 I gained such an appreciation of their sacrifice.
This is a very eye opening book Its all I have to say
This book makes it so unbeliveably hard to believe this really happened, quite an eye opener.
Not bad but I think it was scary.
It s the biggest and awesome book of all I really like this book.
Thanks for the book, mom.If we ever do achieve real racial unity in this country, I don t think it ll happen for a very long time.
This book is so boring, and makes me want to kill myself I have to read it for stupid summer reading uggghhhhhhh
I really liked this book as well It was a tear jerker.
Very interesting how adamant many people were in there determination to keep going to central even after they had suffered so much there.
An excellent, eye opening account of the Little Rock nine and the battle they faced each day to attend an integrated school.

The relationship periods of males need you to begin with having friends. Friendships develop the rapport between men and his better half. In this level a man is normally willing to settle down with his better half. It is far better to add a new person to a romance rather than to make a romantic relationship in which the guy is too associated with the woman. You will find actually four periods of marriages: friendliness, ambiance, infatuation, and commitment/settlement.
The first relationship stages are incredibly easy to recognize. As talked about, it is always better to include a fresh person in a relationship rather than to develop a new relationship where the person is too involved with the woman. The challenge with some lovers, however , is that there can be conflicts above the issue of intimacy. This often causes the next stage of these associations: conflict.
The second relationship levels are the ones that result in a relationship to attain a finish. At this point, both party may be ready to end the relationship. Any time both partners agree on the terms, after that couples move on to stage three: online dating. When dating, men make an effort to win your ex affections by simply trying to become more attractive than her.
However , this is one way to maintain a woman enthusiastic about a man. In fact , there are different ways to attract a girl to guys. To summarize, your fourth stage of relationships is a stage wherever all the stages come together and form the firm base for long-term human relationships. Here, lovers continue considering the previous relationship stages to further improve their romance.
The fifth stage of long-term romances may lead to a breakup. Sometimes, when a couple decides that their romantic relationship has come to a finish, they determine that they will be not compatible anymore. Each goes back to their particular previous stage latin mail order wives and decide to marry or at least to get a fling. Although it has been proven that long term relationships embark on longer because they are not having a lot conflict, you can still find instances when a few cannot live together any longer. In this case, they could want to finish their romance and start once again.
The decision if to continue while using the relationship is dependent upon each couple. Each marriage is unique therefore, will solution in another way what is the very best solution on their behalf. Furthermore, lovers tend to differ on what stage they think their relationship has got reached. There is not any set answer for this, as every romance evolves after a while.

We learned from Podnews that Libsyn, one f the largest and most established podcast hosting companies is undergoing tumult. One of its “beneficial owners,” the 6% shareholder group Camac, is calling for a special stockholder meeting to revise or replace the board of directors.
The dissatisfaction appears to center around executive compensation. In an SEC filing from Camac, the salaries and bonuses of CEO Christopher J. Spencer and CFO John Busshaus are disclosed. Spencer “is slated to receive” $400,000 in salary and $800,000 in bonus. For Busshauss the numbers are $350,000 and $700,000. The Camac filing states that the totals add up to over 59% of Libsyn’s 2018 income.
That’s an interesting revelation, putting Libsyn’s (presumably topline) revenue at
$2.25-million $3.8-million. (We apologize for the earlier computation error.)
“Camac is soliciting proxies to call a special meeting because it believes that Libsyn is desperately in need of improved governance,” the filing says. “Camac believes that the operating team at Libsyn has built a wonderful business with tremendous potential. With the right board of directors, Camac is confident that the best is yet to come.”
Camac is a private investment firm founded in 2011.

It feels like everyday there’s a new report on the latest fad food we should be eating. Let’s face it, if we tried to eat all the food that magazines, talk shows, books, news programs, and “experts” tell us we need, we would be eating sun up to sun down. May sound fun in theory, but to practice it’s pretty darn hard. So what should we eat? Fruits, veggies, whole grains, protein, and if you’re looking for specifics, here’s a list of the foods we here at Skinny Mom try to eat every day.
Why: Berries are a great source of fiber, which most Americas do not get enough of. Most berries are a good source of vitamin C and antioxidants, which protect your body against inflammation and free radical damage.
Why: No offense to carrots, but we should be eating eggs to protect our eyes. The lutein and zeaxanthin found in egg yolks have been shown to reduce the risk of age related macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in people over 50. Studies show eggs also reduce the risk of cancers, heart disease, and stroke. They’re a great source of high quality protein and, contrary to popular belief, they don’t make your cholesterol shoot through the roof.
How: Traditional egg breakfasts such as scrambles and omelettes are great, but eggs can also be added to oatmeal to amp up the protein. Check out these other egg recipe remixes and our favorite ways to eat hardboiled eggs.
Why: Nuts are the best plant based source of protein, although they do have quite a bit of calories. They’re rich in fiber, phytonutrients, antioxidants, plant sterols, and healthy fats. Studies suggest adding nuts to your diet can reduce the risk of heart disease, and nuts are a great snack to hold you over till your next meal.
How: The easiest way to incorporate nuts into your day is to eat them by the handful, but they’re also a great addition to salads, stir frys, and yogurt. If you feel like giving your food processor a workout, try some DIY Chunky Cinnamon Raisin Nut Butter.
Why: Vitamins A, C, D, B vitamins, potassium, manganese, fiber, iron, antioxidants, and a low glycemic index starch, so why not eat them daily? Studies have suggested that sweet potatoes protect against arthritis, ulcers, heart disease, and emphysema. Sweet potatoes really live up to their superfood label.
How: Mashed (with coconut oil and cinnamon), roasted, baked, steamed or grilled, sweet potatoes are as versatile as they are healthy. Itching to try something a little more exotic? How about some Thai Jambalaya?
Why: Popeye was no dope. In addition to being antioxidant rich, spinach is loaded with vitamins, K, A, C, B2, B6, E, magnesium, folate, manganese, iron, calcium, potassium, protein, phosphorus, zinc, fiber, copper, selenium, niacin, and omega 3 fatty acids. Studies have shown that eating spinach can reduce the risk of cancers, heart disease, decline in brain function, and eye disease.
Why: We know broccoli isn’t for everyone, but those who do like broccoli are a nutritional step ahead of the pack. Broccoli is high in fiber, potassium, magnesium, calcium, and vitamin C. Broccoli also contains glucoraphanin, which the body processes into the anti-cancer compound sulforaphane, and indole-3-carbinol, a powerful antioxidant compound and anti-carcinogen found to hinder the growth of breast, cervical, and prostate cancers and boosts liver function.
How: Obviously smothered in melted cheese is the most yummy way to eat broccoli (no, we are not promoting this), but did you know you can eat broccoli raw, steamed, roasted, or in a stir fry? If you like spicy food give some Sriracha Broccoli a try.
Why: There’s a reason people have been saying “an apple a day keeps the doctor away”. Apples have been shown to protect against osteoporosis, help with asthma symptoms, lower cholesterol, aid in diabetes management, and protect our brains from free radical damage. Studies also show that apples can reduce the risk of lung, breast, colon, and liver cancer.
How: Apples cut up with nut butter or chopped up in yogurt or oatmeal are great snacks, but to take them into dinner try Roasted Brussels Sprouts and Apples.
Why: Lycopene, lycopene, lycopene! Lycopene has been shown to flush out free radicals, fighting against cancer cells forming. Tomato has the highest concentrate of lycopene of any fruit or vegetable. Tomatoes also help keep blood sugar levels stable, lower blood pressure and cholesterol, strengthen hair, and reduce the risk of gallstones and kidney stones.
How: Fresh ripe tomatoes can make a salad or a BLT, but tomatoes are also great roasted and sautéed. And now that it’s getting warmer, these Grilled Pesto Chicken and Tomato Kebabs are the perfect spring and summer main dish.
Honorable mention goes to water. Yes, we don’t eat it, but we still need lots and lots of it everyday. So pour yourself a big glass of water and get to meal planning! Be sure to let us know your favorite everyday food and/or recipe in the comments.

Horseboxes, Trailers and Lorries filled with Connemara Ponies travelled to the centre of Ireland for the Midlands Show in Mullingar on the last Sunday in July. This Show is very much a community effort and with forty Connemara Classes listed to take place in the spacious acres of the Mullingar Equestrian Centre, which included various Championships and Clifden Qualifiers and also the Loose Jumping Qualifiers held in the Indoor Arena, all hands were needed on deck for a long day. Niamh’s Weblog got off to a good start when the Gate Steward kindly offered to move his own jeep elsewhere to allow us in! The layout of the 4 Rings was well-ordered with banks of chairs at vantage viewing points making it very spectator-friendly.
The In-Hand Classes in 2 adjoining Rings included the Midlands All-Ireland Broodmare Championship and the Ridden and Working Hunter Rings 3 and 4 which were thronged with competitors until late in the evening. Classes were missed out on but some photos were taken in each Ring, at different times.
The Junior In-Hand Champion and Reserve were chosen from the ranks of the Three yr. old Fillies (winner of the Ruth Rogers Cup) and the Three yr. old Colts. Clifden’s Michael O’Toole led the winning Three Year old Filly, Castle Cleo (Glencarrig Knight X Castle Gypsy) to win the Junior Championship Class, on only her second outing this year. At Corrandulla Show in June Castle Cleo had received her first Championship Sash. Bred and owned by Peter O’Toole, her breeding includes Marble, Carna Bobby, Ashfield Bobby Sparrow, Kimble, and Village Star. Reserve Junior Champion was Joe Burke’s Aniar Cashel (Banks Timber X Gowlane Star), shown by Joe’s brother Tommie to take the Red Rosette in the Three Year old Colt Class (Sean Dunne Trophy). Bred by Eamonn Burke, the bloodline includes Cloonisle Cashel, Rebel Wind, Marble and Abbeyleix Owen. Now back to the Yearling Colt Class:
Peter Keane was happy to take the Winner’s cup back to Galway with his dun Ben’s Lightening Star (Lightening Star X Derrynamacka Rose) with Westside Mirah and Abbeyleix Fionn in the back-breeding.
Seven Two Year old Fillies paraded before Judges John Varley and Cathy Wood but the one which caught the Judges eyes belonged to Sarah Phelan of Killashee in Longford with Manor Gentle Robyn (Frederiksminde Hazy Match X Lockinge Aconite). The breeding here goes back to Coosheen Finn, Village Boy and Rebel Wind.
The Two Year old Colt winner was the strong dun pony, Cleggan Gallop (Kippure Columbus X Poona Schueracher), with Errislannon, Connemara owner Bartley Conroy. The dam’s unusual name comes from a mix of breeding nationalities, Irish, English and French, going back to Island Earl, Carna Dun and Noble Star.
Murvey Rocco (last year’s Mullingar Junior Champion) was the sole entry on the day in the Four to Six Year old Stallion Class. His owners Jack and Bernard Keaney from Roundstone were awarded the Wilma Stud Cup for this prolific Stallion Class winner, Murvey Rocco (Glencarrig Knight X Murvey Rita), goes back to Janus, Abbeyleix Owen, Curachmore Cashel, Kimble.
The Seven Year and Over Stallion Class winner for the Abbeyleix Fionn Cup was Ballyconneely’s Terence Sweeney with his handsome stallion Dunloughan Troy (Currachmore Cashel X Bay Lass). Breeding taces back to Abbeyleix Fionn, Leam Bobby Finn and Bridge Boy)
In the Class for Mares 13.2 and under, the wee North got a look in when Co. Down man, Ian Donnan led in Uptoyou de l’Aulne (Clifden de L’Aulne X Bailen de Kergroas) to win the Durcan Cup. This 8yr old French bred mare carries breeding lines of Tulira Mairtin, Killyreagh Kim and Carna Dun.
The Young Handler winner was 12yr old Camilla Snow Coyne from Letterfrack with her Rockfield Lass (Laerkens Cascade Dawn X Newtown Grey)
One of the major Showing Classes in the Midlands Breeders Thirteenth Annual Show is the All-Ireland Broodmare Championship, with new Judges stepping in, namely Clare Oakes and Heather Wright. And Ring One is enlarged to accommodate Fifteen broodmares with foals and their handlers also, a fine sight for breeders and fans of these ponies. The winner was Pat Kearns with Loughmor Suzy (Linsfort Barney X Hazy Rebel). Her bloodlines come from Village Boy, Kingstown Molly and Murphy Rebel; and the Kearns family were happy to take the Lady de Vesci Cup back to Co. Laois.
Chosen in Reserve place was Cork’s Liam Cotter with Ardnore Silver Lady (Glencarrig Lexus X Ardnore Seabird). Called in to Third spot was Connemara’s Cathy Snow Coyne with Kilpatrick Snowdrop (Moorland Snowy River X Kilpatrick Holly). Both of these lovely mares are prolific Show prizewinners for their owners.(see Gallery)
The Four to Six Years old Mare Class with eleven mares, mainly led by girls, added another Red Rosette to the Midland winnings of Peter Keane, this time with the 4yr old Seafield Rose (Coolillaun Cushlaun X Kiltullagh Lass) Seafield Rose gained a championship at Galway Show earlier this season and seems to be following in her dam’s wake as a Show prizewinner. Forebears include, Currachmore Cashel, Abbeyleix Fionn, Boden Park Finnard and Gloves Misty. In the Class for Seven to Ten year old Mares, there were 8 ponies but only 3 foals were to be seen.(is breeding slowing down?)

Last week the Global Entrepreneurship Congress cavalcade descended on South Africa, making a two-city stop in Johannesburg and Cape Town. Billed as the biggest entrepreneurship get-together of its kind, it reportedly attracted 7 000 delegates from 160 countries. Judging by the variety of attires I brushed past in the Sandton Convention Centre over the two days I attended that was hardly an exaggeration.
GEC is one of several initiatives and programmes of the Global Entrepreneurship Network, including Global Entrepreneurship Week, the Global Entrepreneurship Index, the Global Business Angels Network and Start Up Nations, “aimed at creating one global entrepreneurial ecosystem”.
Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa gave the keynote address, while Mayor of Johannesburg Herman Mashaba welcomed us all to the host city, giving a taster of how he intends transforming Johannesburg into an entrepreneurial powerhouse.

Gone are the days where unbreakable rules governed wine drinking.
Of course, some age-old conventions are in place for a reason, but breaking rules can be a good thing if it enhances ones’ enjoyment of a wine.
Many are afraid making social faux pas when it comes to wine.
I recently served a tight and austere Champagne in a large glass to help it open and expand. Soon after I was pulled aside by a well-meaning relative, who whispered alarmingly,
“You have used the wrong glass! You should be using a flute!”
I reassured them that my choice of glass was deliberate and was done to benefit the wine.
If your decisions surrounding the serving of wine results in better tasting wine, then bucking convention should never be a problem.
Similarly with the refrigeration of red wine. I recently attended a dinner where the host was apologised for slightly chilling the pinot noir, reluctantly confessing that they preferred it this way. It was an excellent decision from my viewpoint, especially considering the extreme warmth of the day, but they were worried that they had done the wrong thing.
So don’t be afraid to experiment with wine.
Decanting is not the preserve of red wines. You can decant white wines and sparklings too.
Some red wines work beautifully with fish and conversely white wines with steak, as long as you choose the right wine.
You don’t necessarily need to change glasses between different wines, though rinsing the glass with a little of the new wine can be of benefit.
And Champagne and fino sherry, although perfect as aperitifs, can also work beautifully with food, so don’t shy away from serving them during a meal.

Marvel Studios has found its director for its upcoming Blade movie, tapping Bassam Tariq to helm the picture, according to a recent report from Deadline.Tariq, perhaps best known for his work on the film Mogul Mowgli, is officially in talks to direct the upcoming adaptation of the popular Marvel comic book. Stacy Osei-Kuffour is on board to write the script for the film starring the vampire hunter, with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige attached as producer, as per usual.
The search for a director for the highly anticipated film has been underway for months, with the search seeming to be an exhaustive one. According to the report, however, Tariq seems to be the final choice, and while a deal is not done just yet, it does seem like Marvel has zeroed in on Tariq to take charge of the film.
The Blade movie was first announced by Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige at the 2019 San Diego Comic-Con, with Oscar-winner Mahershala Ali making a surprise appearance at the panel. Ali, who previously starred in Netflix’s Luke Cage, confirmed that he was the one who first approached the studio about wanting to take on the titular heroic vampire. The daywalker was first famously portrayed by Wesley Snipes, who has already voiced out his support to Ali following the announcement.
Earlier this year, it was revealed that Stacy Osei-Kuffour has been tapped to pen the screenplay after six months of meeting with various writers, making her the first Black female writer to pen a Marvel movie. It’s still unclear which phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe will the upcoming film be debuting in because it currently has no release date attached to it yet.
The Blade Trilogy from New Line Cinema helped shepherd comic books and superheroes to the big screen. Combined, the three films brought in over $400 million at the global box office. Blade was created by writer Marv Wolfman and artist Gene Colan as a supporting character in the comic book “The Tomb of Dracula” #10 in July 1973.

Nutrition is one of those things we are all aware of and we all vaguely pay attention to. It is probably the single most important part of our day, yet we put very little emphasis on it. Part of the reason it is so difficult is no one seems to agree on what “good” nutrition is. You can find conflicting views on almost everything. It is sad to me that there is seemingly so much that is not understood about how food works in our bodies.
So how are we to know what we should and shouldn’t eat? First and foremost, you need a basic understanding of how food works in your body. I have tried to compile some information to give you that basic foundation. Included in that is understanding the health risks involved in eating processed and industrialized food products. On a very basic level, I believe we need to return to a more primal diet that the human body was designed for. Eating whole foods that have not been altered and are grown the way nature intended is a good start.
It’s also important to understand that without a well-balanced, healthy diet, many ailments can be the result of excesses and deficiencies. Many chronic diseases are the result of inflammation in general. Avoiding inflammatory foods is critical. Paying attention to your body and symptoms and recognizing the signs of deficiency or excess are the first line of defense against all illness. In order to help you and your doctor determine if your symptoms may be related to nutritional imbalance, I put these together:
There are so many people diagnosed with this syndrome, or that disorder, or any number of diseases with no known cause or cure. Our doctors are quick to test for signs of ailments that they can treat with a magic pill. But, how often do they test for vitamin and mineral deficiencies? How often do they test for amino acid deficiencies? How often do they even ask you what you eat? Sure, they tell you to eat right and exercise. But, do any of them really know what that entails? From one doctor to another you will get very differing views. Even nutritionists don’t always agree.
I have learned the most important thing is quality whole foods. Whole Foods doesn’t mean strictly raw foods. It means eating food that is provided in its natural state. Stop eating processed foods. Stop eating chemical laden and altered food. Your body, its cells, and all of its functions depend on what you put in your mouth.
Garbage in, garbage out.
Your highly processed and sweetened diet may taste good. But how do you feel after eating it? How about the next day? How about the next week? Ever wonder why you’re so tired all the time? Ever wished you could get rid of wrinkles or improve your memory? How many wrinkle creams and supplements have you wasted money on that didn’t work? We’re all searching for the fountain of youth, and it’s right in front of us.
Did you ever consider the food that you are eating? After all, that is what our bodies use to make new cells and to implement all of our bodily functions. Perhaps you believe you are eating “healthy.” But have you considered the quality of the food you buy, where it comes from, and how it is manufactured?
The food you eat can be either the safest and most powerful form of medicine, or the slowest form of poison.


FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP ATTENDANCES have fallen by an average of more than 7,000 per game over the last 10 years, new figures released by the GAA show.
A total of 788,746 fans attended the 60 games (not including replays) played in the provincial championships and All-Ireland series in 2016.
This average crowd of 13,146 per match represents a drop of almost 35% from the 2007 average of 20,172.
Crowd numbers have been steadily decreasing since then, although there was a slight increase in 2015.
The figures and the charts were released as part of a document to outline a new football championship format and address criticisms.
The major change would see the quarter-final stage of the championship scrapped and replaced by a round-robin with two groups of four teams (four provincial champions and four Round 4 qualifier winners), with each team playing each other once, and the top two teams in each group progressing to seeded semi-finals.
“The new structure will generate an increase in football championship attendances, which have been declining in recent years,” the GAA writes. “We recognise, of course, that the economic recession has been a factor here.”

With Cool Springs suddenly full, it's time to build or head downtown
Experts say Jackson National's move could give boost to downtown Nashville, lead to more building in Cool Springs
- Brian Reisinger
- Staff Writer
(Page 2 of 4)
Matt Largen, director of the Williamson County Office of Economic Development, said he’s aware of six potential deals involving companies wanting 100,000 square feet or more, and county officials don’t “see any reason” the Cool Springs area shouldn’t continue to be the site of future development.
At the same time, Emery of Spectrum and Dick Fleming, principal with property management company Nashville Commercial Real Estate Services, said attention could shift to downtown Nashville.
Fleming, for example, is looking for tenants for about 200,000 square feet available in the Pinnacle at Symphony Place.
“That’ll be the only game in town,” Fleming said of space in downtown Nashville, though he believes Cool Springs will remain a “dominant market” in the future.
Emery, who helped develop much of Cool Springs during his previous tenure with Crescent, said the area will remain strong because of available land, the proper amenities and a consistent ability to attract major companies. But projects such as the proposed Nashville Medical Trade Center also make downtown Nashville a strong draw going forward, he said.
On the other hand, businesses won’t necessarily switch from suburban space to downtown space, said Jeff Haynes, managing partner with development company Boyle Investment Co. He said his company usually isn’t competing with downtown spots while trying to lease its buildings, because companies decide what sort of setting they prefer on the front end.
He pointed to his company’s Berry Farms project as an example of Cool Springs-area development that’s been on hold but may move forward now, though he agreed that it remains a difficult time to immediately undertake new projects.

AOA Dx is proud to announce that they have closed both of their seed rounds totaling a $7 million funding round led by Avestria Ventures, AlleyCorp, The Helm, RH Capital, Olive Tree Capital, Tencent and other notable investors.
The funding will be used to further develop the next generation of AOA Dx’s ovarian cancer detection technology, AKRIVIS GD™ and expand their growing team. Currently, there are no reliable ovarian cancer biomarkers that detect early stage disease.
In a landmark reviewed study, AOA Dx’s technology AKRIVIS GD™ showed over 90% accuracy for detection of ovarian cancer, including early stage disease when 5 year survival rates are greater than 90%.
AKRIVIS GD™, a liquid biopsy assay for early detection of ovarian cancer, has shown high sensitivity and specificity, addressing an urgent market need.
Tumor Marker Gangliosides offer a new and unexploited potential for diagnosis, creating a new field of omics as the next frontier in diagnostics. Tumor glycolipids exploited for diagnosis additionally offer unique molecular targets for precision cancer immuno‑therapy. Preclinical studies utilizing these targets have shown promising results.
“It’s been an incredible journey to take AKRIVIS GD™ from academic research to the product development phase. The results from our study are extremely promising and knowing that we are on the path to create better outcomes for ovarian cancer patients is a huge milestone for the company.” said Oriana Papin-Zoghbi, CEO and co-founder of AOA Dx.
Data shows nearly 225,000 women globally are diagnosed with ovarian cancer annually, and up to 65% of which will not survive. Ovarian cancer’s high fatality rate is largely attributed to late detection. The average time to diagnose ovarian cancer is 9 months even though 94% of women experience symptoms early on.
Early detection of ovarian cancer has the possibility to reduce fatalities by half. There are currently no available tools or methods for early detection of ovarian cancer, AKRIVIS GD™ will be the first available tool to enable early detection.
About AOA Dx Inc.
AOA Dx Inc (AOA Inc) is a US company, with teams based in Boston, New York and London developing cancer diagnostics in the field of women’s health. AOA Dx Inc, a female led company, is committed to bringing the first accurate early stage liquid biopsy ovarian cancer diagnostic test to market that will improve clinical practice, help reduce patient mortality and deliver cost savings to payers.

When it comes to treating our cats, milk is the better option for most people. But cats have lactose intolerance which can cause tummy issues and diarrhea. Some cats may be able to digest milk while for others it can be a problem. The percentage of cats who can tolerate milk is very low, especially for grown cats. Therefore, you should be careful when feeding milk to your cat to avoid severe complications. To be sure of how your cat’s body reacts to milk, give two teaspoons of milk to your cat. Observe your cat for 12 hours to check for stomach problems or diarrhea. If your cat develops diarrhea or loses appetite, call the veterinary immediately. Diarrhea can dehydrate the cat and any other sort of illness can progress quickly.
What Makes Milk a Problem for cats?
During the nursing period, the body of a kitten produces a high level of an enzyme called lactase which breaks down the lactose sugar in their mother’s milk. As the cat grows older, its ability to digest any type of milk diminishes due to a decrease in the production of lactase.
So, when you feed your cat dairy milk, the lactose sugar remains in its system leading to fermentation of bacteria in its body. These fermented bacteria are what causes intestinal cramps and diarrhea. However, the amount of lactose varies from one dairy product to another. Regular milk has the highest amount of lactose while other dairy by-products have less.
Most Common Myth: Does Milk Cause Worms
There are so many myths regarding milk feeding your cat, but one of these myths keeps on popping on the internet every now and then. Cats owners constantly ask if their cats will have worms from drinking milk. Many vets have rebuked this claim saying that there is no truth to such claims. Kittens can get worms from drinking their mother’s milk if she is contaminated with worm larvae from lack of deworming prior to the pregnancy. If possible have the cat dewormed regularly.
Alternatives to Milk
While feeding milk to your cat is perceived to be a good thing, water is really the best alternative to milk. Cat’s diet doesn’t have enough water and rarely do they get thirsty. Water helps with cat’s digestive system thus preventing constipation. If you want your cat to take lots of water every day, you can bottle feed it which might turn out to be fun. Also, if your cat is lactose intolerant but enjoys milk, you can opt for low lactose drinks. Plain yogurt really works better because it contains less lactose and your cat may tolerate it. Lactose-free milk from the store also works well since the lactose in it has been removed and replaced with lactase enzyme that helps in breaking down the sugar.
Is Soy Milk Safe for Cats?
People often ask this question but the answer is no because of the following reasons:
- Just like cow’s milk, some cats are allergic to soy protein due to stomach problems and itching.
- Soy milk is loaded with sugar to improve the taste which is okay for human, but not ideal for your cat.
- There are some products in soy such as isoflavones and phytoestrogens that might disrupt your cat’s hormones if fed in large quantities.
- Soy isn’t a part of the cat’s carnivorous diet. Moreover, nut milk from almond can as well cause diarrhea and stomach upset in cats. But if you have been feeding your cat soy or almond milk and there are no negative side effects, then don’t panic. Some cats can have them in small amount although it’s better you consult your veterinary.
The question of whether milk is good for cats can vary depending on your cat. You can only be sure of this if you test your cat’s tolerance to milk. Remember cats don’t gain anything nutritionally from milk that isn’t present in a well-balanced commercial diet. If you’re feeding your cat human food or commercial treat, let it not exceed 20 to 30 calories a day. The issues of obesity in our cats have risen over the years due to overfeeding them with too many calories. Even though your cat can tolerate milk, feed it as a treat once in a while. Ultimately, some cats will tolerate milk just like a human without a problem. If this is the case, only and only then can you say that milk is good for your cat. Otherwise, don’t assume all cats are the same, and that includes their digestive system. “

Brooklyn quartet, The Teen Age, have always felt an affinity for Queens neighbors, the Ramones, and with the 40th anniversary of their debut album arriving this month, guitarist Micah Weisberg and bassist Bill Dvorak have created a near shot-by-shot homage of a scene from the 1979 film Roger Corman film, “Rock & Roll High School”, starring the Ramones, in the video for “Backwards”.
On their reasoning for creating the video, The Teen Age stated…
One of our main influences is the Ramones. Their hard, faster take on the ’60s girl group sound and tongue-in-cheek lyrics informed both our approach to songwriting and the way we’ve presented ourselves as a band. The 1979 film was supposed to be a fun teen comedy along the lines of “A Hard Day’s Night,” but after Corman’s original choice to play the band, Cheap Trick, had to drop out, the filmmakers opted for the Ramones. The band’s hilariously inept performances and (at the time) tough, leather jacket-clad look pushed the film in a weirder direction. We specifically chose a scene where a high school student and Ramones super-fan (actress P.J. Soles) gets high and hallucinates the Ramones performing in her room. While it’s pretty clear the filmmakers intended the scene to be romantic and sweet, Joey Ramone’s awkward moves and Johnny Ramone’s obvious disinterest in being there resulted in a clip so bizarre that it’s endearing. We found the scene strangely relatable, and decided it would be fun and in keeping with our band’s aesthetic to remake it as a music video for “Backwards”.
“Backwards” is featured on The Teen Age latest EP, Bad Seed, which arrived last month on PaperCup Music – purchase via iTunes. Recorded at Converse Rubber Tracks studio in Brooklyn, the four-song collection was produced by longtime collaborator Jason Finkel (Hundred Waters).
After two nights in Brooklyn, at Rough Trade, The Teen Age will be announcing multiple summer festival dates around the city.

IN VIVO, vol.29, no.2, pp.229-235, 2015 (SCI-Expanded)
Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the gene expression levels of elastin and fibulin-5 according to differences between carotid plaque regions and to correlate it with clinical features of plaque destabilization. Materials and Methods: The study included 44 endarterectomy specimens available from operated symptomatic carotid artery stenoses. The specimens were separated according to anatomic location: internal carotid artery (ICA), external carotid artery (ECA) and common carotid artery (CCA), and then stored in liquid nitrogen. The amounts of cDNA for elastin and fibulin-5 were determined by Quantitative real-time PCR (Q-RT-PCR). Target gene copy numbers were normalized using hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT1) gene. The delta-delta CT method was applied for relative quantification. Results: Q-RT-PCR data showed that relative fibulin-5 gene expression was increased in ICA plaque regions when compared to CCA regions but not reaching significance (p=0.061). At the same time, no differences were observed in elastin mRNA level between different anatomic plaque regions (p>0.05). Moreover, elastin and fibulin-5 mRNA expression and clinical parameters were compared in ICA plaques versus CCA and ECA regions, respectively. Up-regulation of elastin and fibulin-5 mRNA levels in ICA were strongly correlated with family history of cardiovascular disease when compared to CCA (p<0.05). Up-regulation of fibulin-5 in ICA was significantly associated with diabetes, and elevated triglycerides and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) when compared to ECA (p<0.05). Conclusion: The clinical significance is the differences between the proximal and distal regions of the lesion, associated with the ICA, CCA and ECA respectively, with increased fibulin-5 in the ICA region.
