There has been a lot of talk about gender equality in the entertainment industry for many years now and, while the issue has been addressed and there have been some changes and improvements being made, it seems that it is still not enough. There are still a number of stars in the entertainment industry who feel very strongly about the issue and have voiced their concerns.
We have had a lot of Hollywood actresses talking about the gender equality issues in the entertainment industry and now we have some music stars getting in on the debate. Little Mix became the first ever group to win the television series The X Factor and the girls have now given their views on gender equality in the business.
Perrie Edwards told Wonderland magazine, "I just don't understand it. Why should we be paid less because we have boobs and a vajayjay?" while Leigh-Anne Pinnock added, "If things don't change, women in the film industry should just go on strike. Could you imagine if all women in the film industry just stopped working or turned down parts until they got equal pay."
Meanwhile, Jesy Nelson said, "We've had mums come up to us and literally thank us for making the music that we do, saying that since listening to Little Mix their daughters have been happier and more confident in themselves. If a girl is being bullied, or heartbroken, or just feeling like utter s**te, if our music can make them feel better, then we're doing our jobs right."
Fans of Little Mix will also be delighted to know that the girls are currently working on some new music for their new album, which we hope will drop before the end of the year.

But with the growing popularity of open-plan kitchens, customers still demand them in kitchens where a range hood would obstruct a clear view. On the manufacturer side, the advent of new filtration technology means users can expect better performance from a downdraft vent. In the first kind, a vent is built into the middle of an induction or radiant electric cooktop. This especially makes sense for indoor grills and teppanyaki burners, which are in demand for high-end kitchens.This setup has a teppanyaki grill, a wok burner, and a traditional induction burner with two vents. Over the years, downdraft ranges gained a reputation for being difficult to install and not very effective. Modern versions can even be set up for recirculation, so an external vent is no longer necessary. Steam and smells get pulled straight from pots and pans and into a vent—which either exhausts or filters and recirculates the air. You can install it in between two different kinds of burners, or put one on either side of a single burner for more airflow.
Ask The Experts: Are Downdraft Ranges All Hot Air? by reviewed.com
Is Downdraft Ventilation A Worthy Upgrade? | Duration 1 Minutes 35 Seconds This week’s questions are all about downdraft ranges, which vent cooking odors and smoke through a fan built into a cooktop’s surface, rather than up above in a range hood. Why do downdraft ranges have such a bad reputation? For one thing, they can’t move much air without extinguishing gas burners. More importantly, the downdraft fans are constantly fighting basic physics. That’s why most kitchen ventilation is installed above the cooking surface. Your only real alternative would be to install a standalone pop-up ventilation system, which sits behind a cooktop and rises up only when needed. This is a good solution if you live in a home where it’s impossible to vent your kitchen to the outside due to cramped quarters or building codes. Still, you should know that recirculation has its drawbacks. Any other installation will require some compromises—but those are the tradeoffs of turning a dream kitchen into reality. An earlier version of this article said that pop-up ventilation systems can fit behind ranges. In general, downdraft ranges get a lot of complaints because it’s impossible for a downdraft’s airflow to be as effective as traditional ventilation. As it stands, customers often complain of flickering flames when the fan is on. In contrast, a downdraft range must pull air against its natural tendency, and it tends to do a poor job. These can be pretty expensive, and require some remodeling—but they come in many styles, are made by multiple manufacturers, and can be compatible with different kinds of cooktops. Indeed, the newest downdraft ranges all come with recirculation kits, which don’t require an external vent. Recirculation also doesn’t pull conditioned air out of a kitchen, which can save on heating and cooling bills. The best choice for kitchen ventilation will always be a vented range hood, which is why commercial kitchens have such strict building code requirements.

The deal brings the number of milk suppliers down from four to three. The merged company, Arla Foods UK, is now the UK’s biggest fresh milk supplier, with 38% of the market to the multiples.
Competition Commission minister Gerry Sutcliffe said that without the merger “Express’ competitive position would weaken”.
He noted that with continued over-capacity in the industry, the move would give the multiples flexibility to switch their supplies between processors.
Sutcliffe said the deal would not operate against the public interest or lead to a lessening in competition in the supply of fresh processed milk, nor affect the doorstep market.
Chairman of Express Dairies, Sir David Naish, was delighted with the decision. He said: “We have long said that the UK dairy industry requires rationalisation and the merger of Express and Arla UK will go a long way to achieving this.”

“Our Courts, Our Fight” is a blog series documenting the harmful impact of President Trump’s judges on Americans’ rights and liberties and the need for the Senate to confirm President Biden’s federal court nominees to help counteract these effects . Supreme and appellate court cases in the series can be found by issue and by judge at this link.
Trump Eighth Circuit judge Ralph Erickson cast the deciding vote to dismiss the complaint of two black men who were detained and forced to the ground by police, even though they had not committed any previous offense. The December 2021 decision was in Irvin v Richardson.
Two African-American men, 16 year-old Larenzo Irvin and 33 year-old Derrick Bates, were walking along a sidewalk in Cedar Rapids, Iowa when they heard someone behind them shout at them to stop. They turned their heads, saw that it was a police officer, and stopped. Bates stated that they “didn’t do nothing,” but Richardson drew his gun, pointed it at Irvin and Bates, and “ordered them to get on the ground.” Officer Jared Jupin, who had just arrived, did the same. The two black men got down on their knees, but the police ordered that they lie face down on the ground and, when they did, handcuffed them and patted them down. The police found no weapons or anything else suspicious.
Richardson had come to the area in response to a 911 call that there was a disturbance involving three black men. One was described as wearing all blue and another, who was described as heavy set wearing a white t-shirt, allegedly had a gun. On the scene, the caller told Richardson that she saw two black men around the corner wearing white shirts and blue or black pants. Neither Irvin nor Bates matched that description or were heavy set; Irvin was wearing blue and Bates wore a red shirt.
Even though the police found nothing suspicious on either of them and their match to the descriptions by the caller was imperfect at best, the police continued to detain them. Irvin remained quietly seated on the ground with handcuffs on. Bates became upset and questioned why the officers had pulled guns on them and continued to detain them. The officers continued to interview bystanders for several minutes, and found a black man who matched the description of the person with a gun, but found no weapons on him and immediately released him. Finally, after a bystander said he had witnessed the original incident and that neither Irvin nor Bates were involved, and after the two had been handcuffed for almost fifteen minutes, the police uncuffed them and told them they were free to go. Fifteen minutes later, Richardson arrested Bates for “interference with official acts,” although charges were later dismissed.
Irvin and Bates sued for civil rights violations of their Fourth Amendment rights because of the officers’ conduct. A lower court dismissed the claims, as well as an additional claim by Bates for false arrest under federal and Iowa law, maintaining that the officers had reasonable suspicion and were protected by qualified immunity. On appeal, all three Eighth Circuit judges agreed that the decision on Bates’ false arrest claims was improper and should be reversed. As a result of the deciding vote by Trump judge Erickson, however, the court ruled 2-1 to affirm the remainder of the lower court decision dismissing the civil rights claims. According to the majority, the officers had “reasonable suspicion” to “stop and detain” the men under the circumstances and prior precedent.
Judge Jane Kelly strongly disagreed. She explained that based on the facts and the law, the police did not have “reasonable suspicion to stop and detain” Irvin and Bates, particularly given the absence of any ongoing “criminal activity” and the poor match between them and the previous descriptions. As Kelly stated, when Richardson “turned the corner,” the reported criminal activity “had ended, and neither Irvin nor Bates was behaving in a manner” that indicated they were armed or about to engage in criminal activity. The police added to their misconduct as they “continued to keep” the two men in handcuffs, “prolonging the seizure.” The two officers were not entitled to qualified immunity, Kelly concluded, and the decision below should have been reversed so that the two men could pursue their claims.
The case is yet another example of Trump judges like Erickson voting to grant qualified immunity to police and prevent people like Larenzo Irvin and Derrick Bates from seeking accountability for police misconduct. This decision further shows the importance, as part of our fight for our courts, of the Senate confirming fair-minded judges who will allow juries to hold police accountable for misconduct.


Depending on whom you ask, the prospects for horse racing at Idaho Downs (formerly Les Bois Park) are either slim to none or just a handshake away from becoming a reality.
But five months after Ada County awarded the rights to operate Boise's racetrack to Idaho Entertainment, the company remains stuck in negotiations with a local horsemen's group that must agree to a contract before the state can issue a license for live horse racing. The live-racing license is necessary to get a similar license for simulcast racing, so no racing events of any kind are figuring into the future of Idaho Downs any time soon.
In a November letter to the Idaho State Racing Commission, Idaho Entertainment president Eric Spector wrote that his company is "prudently seeking other forms of entertainment and uses of our facilities at Expo Idaho." Spector did not return phone calls from Boise Weekly, but according to Idaho Entertainment owner T. Pat Stubbs, the racetrack that has been home to horse racing since the 1970s could soon be used for concerts.
Horse owners are not happy with that plan.
"The lease does not provide for doing concerts. The county should consider Eric Spector to be in default of the lease. They should terminate the lease and invite others who are interested to step forward," said Tim Elison, a member of the board of directors for the Idaho Horsemen's Benevolent and Protective Association, the group that is negotiating with Idaho Entertainment.
If you talk to Elison, Idaho Entertainment and the Idaho HBPA remain far apart on reaching any agreement soon--23 contested issues away, to be exact. But for Stubbs, who says he remains committed to bringing live horse racing to Boise, the two parties "are far closer to an agreement than the HBPA wants to admit."
"These are not people who are operating in good faith," said Stubbs. "This is not an impasse. This is a flat out boycott."
Stubbs calls it a boycott because he questions whether the HBPA has always had aims to work with an operator other than Idaho Entertainment. He points to a Boise Weekly article from June in which a member of the HBPA spoke about the Greene Group, a Coeur d'Alene-based racetrack operator, as the best solution for horsemen.
"We made a major error in our research," said Stubbs. "We had no idea we'd be dealing with a boycott from day one."
Tom Dougherty, the HBPA member who made the comment about the Greene Group in the June Boise Weekly, is adamant that there is no boycott at play.
"Idaho Entertainment's assessment of that comment is completely false," said Dougherty. "I was commenting on if the Greene Group was being awarded the lease, but they did not get awarded the lease, and there is no ulterior motive going on here."
Elison said he is willing to wait, too, especially since he can race his horses in places like Prescott, Ariz., for more money than he would make under an Idaho Entertainment contract.
As far as the contract is concerned, Elison says a major sticking point is how the purse money gets divided between the Idaho HBPA and Idaho Entertainment. Essentially, out of every dollar bet, 80 cents goes back to winning bettors. The remaining 20 cents, called the take out, gets split between the horsemen and the operator. According to Elison, the specific percentages of the take out have been settled, but in the last contract put forth by Idaho Entertainment, there was a caveat no horseman could live with--the take out would be on net revenue as opposed to gross revenue. This means that the horsemen's share of the purse would be doled out to them minus a variety of Idaho Entertainment operating expenses.
"It's like writing them a blank check," Elison said, adding that across the country, horsemen can earn bottom purses of $2,300 to $2,400. But under an Idaho Entertainment contract, those purses would drop to about $1,000. "You can't afford to stay in Boise for $1,000 purses," he said.
The two parties also are at odds over the number of live racing days that would be held at Idaho Downs, as well as the number of training days the horsemen want--and insist they need--to prepare for live racing.
"The problem is Eric Spector is a businessman. His business is gaming. Our business is horses. He wants all the money and all the control," said Elison.
Stubbs makes no apologies for business acumen, especially in a downturned economy where wagering is lackluster. He points out that Capitol Racing, the former racetrack operator in Boise, lost roughly $1 million in 2008.
Elison estimates that the absence of horse racing in Boise forfeits a positive $40 million economic impact on the Treasure Valley. It's a figure that Ada County Commissioner Sharon Ullman wishes would bring more urgency to the negotiations. In her Nov. 13 blog post, Ullman offered to help mediate between the horsemen and the operator, but so far no one has taken her up on the offer, she said.
Ullman is critical of the state law, which she said requires the racetrack operator to negotiate a contract specifically with the Idaho HBPA and no other equine organization. She also expressed concern over the state requirement that there be 46 days of live racing at Idaho racetracks.
"To me, that's a problem. That's too much government regulation. These are business owners who need to operate their business," Ullman said. "Maybe it's time to look at the current code because I don't know if horse racing in Idaho can work the way things stand now."

Reform of public institutions cannot be postponed further: Yoon
Updated: 2022-06-22 12:21:05 KST
"Please keep in mind that the goal for all our policies should focus on people's livelihoods."
This is how President Yoon Suk-yeol emphasized the need to address economic difficulties during Tuesday's weekly Cabinet meeting, urging all public servants to work with a "sense of crisis."
And this week's meeting focused on reforming public institutions, where, the President said, there's a need for "intensive" adjustments to spending.
"Reforms of public institutions should no longer be put off. Despite soaring government debt, the number of public institutions and their employees have increased significantly in the last five years. There should be strict evaluations of public institutions and drastic improvements to their lax management."
Yoon added that debts owed by public institutions have shot up during the past five years to 583 trillion won, which is about 450 billion U.S. dollars.
Noting as an example the sharp interest rate hikes by the U.S. Federal Reserve, the President said countries around the world are doing all they can to tackle economic challenges and once again stressed the need for a "private-led" economy and the cutting of red tape.
"Regulatory reform and economic growth arise when we boldly do away with the bad practices of self-seeking cartels and the unfair rent-seeking that's got us by ankles."
On Tuesday, the Cabinet agreed to lower quota tariffs to zero percent on 13 import items where supplies and prices have been unstable, including cooking oil, flour and pork, and to extend the current tax incentives for carbuyers.
"Bracing for what lies ahead, the top office has already activated an emergency economy response system while it'll look into streamlining public institutions so that more money can be saved and used for people in need.
Yoon Jung-min, Arirang News."

As we are moving ahead in The 100 Season 7, things are getting more complicated than before. Although the last episode has left a massive door open for The 100 Season 7 Episode 15 titled “The Dying Of The Light.” It still left us on the verge where anything can happen. Well, you have been aware of deaths encountered throughout the series. But what if your beloved ones die? The same happened in the previous chapter, where Clarke Griffin heaved back in the Second Dawn bunker, where everyone was waiting for her.
Indeed, the team returned on Earth. However, the Shepherd doesn’t want to stay there. So he swallowed a nano tracker and said a final goodbye to Clarke. But, shortly, happiness came in their way when everyone reunited after waking up Octavia Blake. However, soon everyone discovered that Bellamy Blake is missing. Surprisingly, Clarke took responsibility this time and she finally said she killed him. Meanwhile, Octavia and Echo walk towards her when she started explaining everything. But, they seem that they understand her position. However, things would drastically change in the next chapter.
The 100 Season 7 Episode 15: What Will Happen Next?
The Last War changed everything, although Octavia told Clarke that she understands her and her decision. But, will it last for long, as we know Octavia could make people eat each other, and now she’s supporting Clarke. Is this her empathy towards Clarke or something else is going on in her mind? Perhaps it could be a new beginning in everyone’s life when no more conflicts could ruin everything.
Maybe it’s just a thought, but we can expect it would last at least for more time in the next episode. But, as we know, we don’t have plenty of episodes left to cater to our curiosity. Only two more episodes are left, and everything would be crystal clear after then.
What Will happen With Emori And Murphy?
We know that The 100 has a reputation for killing off everyone who comes in their way, and they aren’t afraid of that. It’s like a piece of cake for them. But, what makes us anxious now is how things would change in Emori or Murphy’s life. We haven’t seen them returning to their respective places. Even it hasn’t teased whether they are safe somewhere or not. So, it increases curiosity about what happened to them. One thing is sure that either Emori or Murphy or both would die in the next chapter.
Saving Friends Could Be A Dangerous Work
Clarke is trying to reach towards her friends in the trailer to save them from the upcoming threat. However, millions of obstacles are not letting her act smartly and wisely in her mission. Further, the forthcoming chapter would focus more on drama and war.
Clarke And Octavia On Rescue
Clarke and Octavia teamed up to rescue their friends and loved ones. However, despite their desperate rescue mission, things don’t seem in favor of them. There are plenty of obstacles that are blocking their path and eventually leading to surrender. Will they surrender?
The 100 Season 7 Episode 15: Release Date!
Well, you don’t have to wait long as The 100 Season 7 Episode 15 titled ‘The Dying Of The Light’ will air next week. It means it would air on September 23 at 8 pm.

US Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney was criticised by a British government minister Friday for suggesting that London was "not ready" to stage the Olympic Games.
Culture Secretary Jeremy Hunt, who is the cabinet minister in charge of the Games, said: "When we have the opening ceremony tonight and we tell the world that eight of the world's top 10 sports were either invented or codified in Britain - and only two in America - I hope Mr Romney is watching."
Romney told NBC News before arriving in London Thursday that there were a few "disconcerting" things with regards to security over the Olympics.
But later, after a meeting with Prime Minister David Cameron in Downing Street, he backtracked on his earlier comments.
"I am very delighted with the prospects of a highly successful Olympic Games," he said. "What I have seen shows imagination and forethought and a lot of organization. I expect the Games to be highly successful."
Cameron, who publicly ignored the American's ill-timed remarks, said he took what Romney told him as a "vote of confidence because I think he could see, as everyone can see, that this is going to be a fantastic Olympic Games here in London."
Romney, who is expected to attend the opening ceremony, made London the first stop of a tour that will also take him to Poland and Israel.

SIDNEY—Relay for Life of Shelby County raised $123,372.73 of their $140,000 goal.
The top 10 teams that raised the most money were Team Airstream, raising $27,390.37; Ferguson Construction, raising $12,191; A Team (American Trim), raising $11,941.26; Connection Point Church, raising $10,614.25; Sidney First United Methodist Church, raising $6,982; Team PECA, raising $4,687.50; Team Alex, raising $3,615.50; Cancer Crusaders, raising $3500.96; CureSeekers, raising $3,483.50; and A Family Affair, raising $3,183.62.
Although Relay for Life of Shelby County didn’t reach their goal at their relay on Aug. 2-3, teams and members of the community still have until Aug. 19 to raise money. For information on how to donate, contact Deb Kaufman at 937-726-3647 or any team captain.
“It was an awesome relay,” Kaufman said. “We celebrated with the survivors, remembered those lost or still fighting with the luminaria ceremony and vowed to fight back to raise even more money to fight cancer. Without the help of all the team captains, teams, survivors, committee, family, friends, co-workers and more, we couldn’t have raised what we raised.”
This years’ relay had 168 registered survivors participating, and countless members of the community coming out in support.

The authors of the following paper predict the market attraction for restaurants based on user reviews for different locations to select an ideal location. To do so they have split the city into a set of candidate locations and scored each candidate location.
They explain the methodology as follows:
"To obtain the candidate locations L, we use a density-based spatial clustering method (OPTICS) to segment a city into cells, each of which is treated as a candidate location. As a result, in our experiment, New York city is segmented into 995 cells"
I have read on the scikit-learn implementation of OPTICS and as far as I understand it is similar to DBSCAN, while it can cluster latitude and longitudes I'm lost on how they have used it to split a city (bounding box) into a set of candidate locations, and given a lat/long point map it into a cell? How would they have split New York city into 995 cells?

It is that time of year again when the itchy eyes, scratchy throat, runny nose and sinus headaches begin. The flowers look so beautiful when they bloom but when your immune system’s white blood cells release histamine in response to the allergens, it can create a massive overload of symptoms called “allergies”. I want to discuss some natural ways to get relief during allergy season.
Many people have seasonal allergies so they only have symptoms during fall, spring/summer or the winter. It depends what your body is reactive to, it can be pollen or molds or grasses and even dust mites. Others are even unluckier as they may have a combination of all of these allergies that last the whole year. The best way to find out what type of allergies you have is to have allergy testing, your doctor or a specialist can do this.
Most allergy treatments work by decreasing the circulating histamine in the body and thereby making symptoms more manageable. The majority of the anti-histamine medications have side effects such as drowsiness, fatigue or dryness of the nasal passages. Natural anti-histamines have the same benefits when taken regularly but without such side effects. For example, stinging nettle herbs are natural anti-histamine, this can be made into a tea or into capsules. Vitamin C and quercitin are also found in natural allergy supplements. Vitamin C can be increased in your daily diet through fruit, bright colored vegetables, or a daily vitamin. As a reminder, you should check with your doctor before taking anything new. Many people get great relief with using a ceramic neti-pot saline rinse daily in the morning. The nose is like a big filter, and the neti-pot works by rinsing out the pollens that are causing congestion.
The thing about all of these treatments is that they are suppressing the histamine versus getting rid of the allergies. There are multiple forms of allergy treatments such as allergy shots and sublingual immunotherapy drops. They work by actually desensitizing your body from the exact antigens that you are allergic to, so that your immune system cells stop producing the histamine. This is also something your doctor or an allergist can help with.
Another thing worth mentioning is that the more stressors on the immune system, the harder it has to work and the less efficient it is. For example, if you have undiagnosed food allergies in addition to seasonal allergies and on top of that fighting a cold, your body may not be able to handle any of those attacks very efficiently. It is important to do the right testing in order to get an effective treatment plan. This may include natural treatments or prescriptions, an elimination food allergy plan or an environmental desensitizing plan. Some of the most common food allergies that cause increased histamine are wheat, dairy, strawberries, nuts, shellfish, and soy.
While allergies may be a downer during the warmer weather, I encourage you to still spend time outdoors and don’t let them hold you back. It is worth looking into allergy testing and treatment so that you can live a better quality life doing the things you enjoy with the people you care about.

Being in good physical and emotional health is associated with having a strong sex drive. Therefore, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that food could help you get back into the swing of things. If your sexual performance has declined, it may be time to take a closer look at your diet. These nine foods are packed with nutrients that may increase libido and possibly improve overall health. Any healthful food is appropriate for sex. But some things are better for you than others.
It should come as no surprise that the foods you eat play a role in enhancing your sex life, as having a good sex drive is related to feeling physically and emotionally healthy. There are so many people who are trying to search the ways to enhance their sexual experience, including researching the greatest meals for sex. You can look at the top 9 vegetables to increase sex stamina and improve your sex life.
Top 9 Vegetables For Good Sex Stamina:
Chilly & Other Spices
Not only will eating these spicy meals raise your metabolism, but they’ll also get you in the mood for the evening’s celebrations and lengthen the time you spend in bed. Don’t miss these effective strategies to increase your metabolism if you want to increase the speed at which calories are burned.
Because it is a wonderful source of chromium, onions are a great supply of minerals and help keep your heart healthy by increasing the creation of good cholesterol. They also aid in regulating the body’s blood sugar levels. The natural enhancement of sexual desire and sexual health is significantly aided by onions.
According to researchers, the ancient Egyptians used garlic to boost their stamina. A Journal of Nutrition study found that taking garlic extract helps prevent the development of new fatty deposits, known as plaque, inside arterial walls.
The link between higher sexual endurance and spinach? It’s a high level of arginine. When this amino acid enters your body, nitric oxide is formed, which helps to initiate and maintain erections.
Fenugreek seeds contain saponins, which play a part in boosting the production of testosterone, a male hormone that increases male desire.
The best meal for enhancing stamina is pumpkin seeds. They are abundant in potassium, fiber, protein, zinc, and iron. In addition to helping your immune system, eyes, and wound healing, zinc’s high content is particularly beneficial for men. Pumpkin seeds are one of the meals that increase male stamina if you’re looking for such things. On the other hand, decreased testosterone levels may come from a zinc deficit.
Sperm is of higher quality because of walnuts. It is well known to improve sperm motility, vitality, and morphology. You can use walnuts in your diet to improve fertility.
Research now indicates that its root can increase sexual desire. The phytonutrients in the plant may enhance sperm quality and quantity. One popular way to sell maca root is in powder form. It has an earthy, nutty flavor. It can be used in smoothies, yogurt, salads, soups, baked goods, and soups.
Ginkgo biloba is an additional herb to think about. The herb, which is derived from the Chinese Ginkgo tree’s leaves, is thought to be effective in treating sexual dysfunction brought on by antidepressants. You may buy ginkgo biloba online or at health food stores. Tea made from this herb is an option. Additionally, it comes in tablet, pill, and liquid extract forms.
Which Vegetable Is Good For Men’s Sex?
Popeye found spinach to be effective, and you might too. Known to improve blood flow, spinach is high in folate. Male sexual function is critically impacted by folic acid.
Indeed, corn is a starch food that is rich in fiber and provides a number of health advantages for people. Manganese is a mineral that is one of its many constituents. Manganese helps us maintain healthy blood sugar levels and breaks down fats and carbohydrates for more energy and endurance. Also, it supports the tissues of our sexual organs as well as the entire tissue network throughout our body.
Which Foods Help You Stay In Bed Longer?
The Peruvian superfood Maca, which is also known as “nature’s viagra,” is often used to make pumpkin, sunflower seeds, and other foods. It is known to increase sex drive and sexual performance.
Which Drink Is Good For Sex?
Experts claim that pomegranate juice helps enhance blood flow, boost testosterone levels, and improve mood. The bedroom’s temperature can be raised by any of those items.
How Can I Increase My Desire For Sex?
You can improve your body image, happiness, sex drive, and endurance by engaging in regular aerobic activity and strength training.
Regularly including these vegetables in your diet can result in an increase in libido. Not to mention that most of the meals that boost libido and sex drive are often good choices in the long run. The food choices you make every day build up over time, despite the fact that they might not seem like a big deal at the moment.


Message from Steve:
"Going into the local elections in Liverpool, I think it is worth reminding ourselves about the Tories record on crime. They claim to be the party of law and order, and yet on their watch, crime is on the increase...
Tories Record on Crime
- The Tories are making 20 per cent cuts to policing that go too far too fast and will lead to the loss of over 16,000 police officers by 2015. These frontloaded Tory cuts mean there are already 323 fewer Merseyside Police officers today than in May 2010 and there will be 650 fewer by 2015.
- Personal crime, including theft, robbery and violence, has gone up by 11 per cent over the last year – the steepest rise for over a decade. The Tory-led Government is out of touch with communities, prioritising cutting police officers not cutting crime.
- The Tories are taking risks with the fight against crime and anti-social behaviour.
- We need strong tools to deal with antisocial behaviour, but the Tories are weakening action by removing crucial powers for the police to tackle anti-social behaviour and nuisance neighbours and making it harder for communities to install CCTV. They are turning their backs on communities when they need them the most.
- David Cameron’s huge 20 per cent cuts to the police will lead to the loss of over 16,000 officers by the next election, putting the safety of our communities at risk
- The Tories are making it harder to fight crime and weakening action on anti-social behaviour at a time when personal crime, including theft, robbery and violence, has gone up by 11 per cent over the last year - the steepest rise for over a decade
- The Tories are scrapping ASBOS, taking away police powers to deal with antisocial behaviour and tools to tackle nuisance neighbours and making it harder for communities to install CCTV
- The Tory-led Government is spending over £100 million on bringing in elected Police and Crime Commissioners, the equivalent of over 3,000 new police constables. Labour would spend this money on keeping police on the beat
Labour’s Crime Pledges
- Labour would protect frontline policing, because keeping police on the beat is the best way of keeping our communities safe
- We will back neighbourhood policing and strong action against crime and anti-social behaviour
- Many Labour councils are also working for safer streets and neighbourhoods by extending CCTV coverage – for example in Newcastle upon Tyne and Islington
- We believe in proactive community policing, with more powers and authority to deal with low-level antisocial behaviour there and then when it can be done and swifter recompense for victims
- Labour’s pledge to you on crime and policing Labour councils will tackle anti-social behaviour, including prioritising support for PCSOs and using all the powers they have to clamp down on troublemakers, in order to limit the damage of the Tory-led Government’s cuts to front-line policing.
- Labour will stand up for local communities. We would protect police numbers and take strong action against crime and anti- social behaviour to keep you and your family safe. We would have had to make tough choices, but with Labour’s plans for a 12 per cent cut to the police budget the number of police officers and frontline services could be protected.
- Labour would protect police numbers and take strong action against crime and anti-social behaviour to keep you and your family safe.
- Labour supports strong and swift police action to all complaints about anti-social behaviour. We believe in proactive community policing, with more powers and authority to deal with low-level antisocial behaviour there and then when it can be done and swifter recompense for victims.
- Faced with cuts to frontline police numbers as a result of the Tory- led Government’s cuts, Labour councils are taking action to help local policing teams keep streets safe, many by funding additional Police Community Support Officers.

At the end of Zynga's first day of public trading today, the company fell to just over $9 a share, in what could be the most disappointing stock market debut for a technology company this year.
In the biggest valuation since Google's initial public offering in 2004, the FarmVille and Mafia Wars game maker's shares dipped below IPO almost immediately.
Trading had initially opened at $11 a share, a dollar higher than its IPO price of $10. But the share price dipped below the crucial IPO benchmark by early afternoon.
Analysts expected at least a mild dip from market opening this morning, based on poor economic conditions, continuing Eurozone worries, and crucially a less-than steady business model.
Zynga sold 14 percent of its shares in its floatation, more than that of Groupon and almost en par with LinkedIn. But all three major companies tumbled within days of their initial flotation.
Zynga barely made it past the morning coffee-run.
Eyes will be on Zynga to see if it "does a Groupon". The coupon giant began its first day of trading at $28 a share, rose to just over $31 at its peak, and closed below its opening price of $26.
Groupon subsequently plummeted and shows little sign of recovery. It closed today nearly 3 percent below its initial offering price at $22.39 a share.
90 percent of Zynga's game-playing traffic is generated through Facebook. Zynga's business model has been scrutinised by analysts for being almost solely reliant on the 'internal Facebook market'.
Should Facebook's user growth slow, it is likely Zynga's will also.
While Facebook currently has over 850 million using the social network, Zynga has 54 million active users per day, reaching at least 5 percent of the social network's online population.

The story of Burlesque in America….
Prior to reading this book, my only knowledge of Burlesque was the movie Gypsy Rose Lee. “Burlesqued” was the term used to describe this early form of entertainment … parodies of popular plays, operas, or current events. It was considered good fortune to be chosen.
In the first part of the book, which was more of an overview, things seem rosy. Times are hard for the performers, but they try to get along. As Burlesque evolves, however, life behind the curtain became harder, seedier, with backstabbing, fist-a-cuffs, and material-stealing … both men and women. But, as cutthroat as it is backstage, when it comes to the outside world, it’s us-against-them. They had to have each other’s back.
I deeply enjoyed the Burlesque perspective from the children’s point of view, like Alan Alda’s early childhood and about the relationship between Abbot and Costello as told by daughter Chris Costello. Mr. Alda’s father, Robert, was a straight man and singer. Behind-the-curtain drama and the comics’ stories were also fascinating.
Dancer Blaze Starr wrote the Foreword. After finishing the book, I was pleased that she and I came to the same conclusion. Though Ms. Zemeckis made close bonds to many, if not all, of her interviewees, she shows no favoritism towards any in her writing. She lets the art and the performers have center stage. It is a well-rounded story. Both the good and the bad times about being on the stage, on the road, and behind the curtain.
Behind the Burly Q puts all the rumors, innuendos, and guessing to rest. It truly gives a no-holds-barred account of that era. It is our American history, which shouldn’t be fluffed over or ignored.
Behind the Burly Q is available wherever books are sold. Leslie Zemeckis will participate in the West Hollywood Book Fair on Sunday, Sept. 29, at 5 p.m. For more information, visit westhollywoodbookfair.org/?page_id=11283.

The Examiner reports, “A Church of Ireland clergyman, who was driven from his Northern home, has said Orange zealots should be banned from taking part in Cork’s St Patrick’s Day parade.” Hat tip Maca!”Rev Armstrong, his wife June, and their children, Sarah and Mark, were forced to flee their home in Limavaddy, Co Derry, in the Eighties after extending the hand of friendship to Catholic neighbours.
They lived across the road from a Catholic Church which was bombed in 1985. Rev Armstrong publicly criticised the attack.
“Threats came along. The bible was quoted to me by men in bowler hats who said this was God’s work,” he said.”

Andy Dalton's first start in place of Dak Prescott did not go as well as planned in Week 6, with the Dallas Cowboys quarterback throwing two interceptions and absorbing three sacks behind an offensive line beset by injuries. Things might not be any prettier, at least up front, when the Cowboys visit Washington Football Team on Sunday. Coach Mike McCarthy told reporters Friday that starting right guard Zack Martin will likely miss Week 7's divisional game due to a concussion, leaving Dallas with just one of its original first-teamers on the O-line.
Martin, a six-time All-Pro and Pro Bowler, is widely considered one of the best guards in the NFL. More importantly, he was arguably the last reliable piece on a unit that's been decimated by injuries all year. Since Week 1, the Cowboys have lost left tackle Tyron Smith and right tackle La'El Collins for the season, center Joe Looney (who was already replacing the retired Travis Frederick) for at least three weeks, and second-string left tackle Brandon Knight, who's likely to miss at least two weeks following knee surgery, per CBS Sports' Patrik Walker.
With Martin sidelined, Dallas is expected to turn to 22-year-old Connor McGovern, a 2019 third-round pick, at right guard. McGovern sat out his entire rookie season with a pectoral injury and had seen just two offensive snaps prior to filling in for Martin against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 6. Third-year veteran Connor Williams, meanwhile, is the only remaining Week 1 starter still standing along the O-line, with the Cowboys set to go up against one of the NFL's most well-regarded defensive lines in Washington.
