[www.keralites.net] The Power of a Pink Tutu

 

The Power of a Pink Tutu

In 2003, photographer Bob Carey and his wife Linda moved to New York City after 42 years of living in Phoenix. Six months after the move, Linda was diagnosed with breast cancer. Linda beat it but it came back in 2006. As Bob recalls:

"During these past nine years, I've been in awe of her power, her beauty, and her spirit. Oddly enough, her cancer has taught us that life is good, dealing with it can be hard, and sometimes the very best thing—no, the only thing—we can do to face another day is to laugh at ourselves, and share a laugh with others."

"Ballerina" started in 2003 as a black and white self-portrait of Bob wearing a custom-made tutu as part of a fund-raiser. The New York photographer continued to take self-portraits by going out into the world wearing that pink tutu and nothing else.

In March of 2012, the overwhelmingly positive reaction to Bob's photographs inspired the couple to raise funds and self-publish a book of the images entitled Ballerina. Thus began The Tutu Project.

Funds were raised by selling limited edition prints and other products. A portion of net proceeds from book sales are donated to breast cancer organizations. Ongoing fund-raising supports The Carey Foundation for women with breast cancer. In October 2012, the NFL and Bloomingdales stores nationwide featured The Tutu Project as their leading symbol for breast cancer awareness.

The Tutu Project's mission is to support the fund raising efforts of The Carey Foundation for women with breast cancer. A portion of every sale is donated to the Foundation. Funds raised are provided directly to organizations that offer assistance with cancer-related costs like transportation to treatment, home care, childcare and medical supplies. Items for sale through The Tutu Project include: Postcards, the Ballerina Book, The Tutu Project Calendar, Triptych prints and Limited Edition Signed Prints.

In this beautiful shot by Hai Thinh, we see what looks to be two fisherman heading out to sea. The weather looks ominous and the water appears choppy but it's not enough to deter these two from their mission. The photo was taken on a beach somewhere in Vietnam.

[www.keralites.net] SUGAR - not just rotting teeth and obesity you're risking: From dementia to liver damage-London cardiologist believes it should be regulated like alcohol.

 

SUGAR :- It's not just rotting teeth and obesity you're risking: From dementia to liver damage, the real toll of too much sugar - London cardiologist believes it should be regulated like alcohol. And sugar does more than rot your teeth: in recent months many experts have argued that it's sugar, not fat, that's to blame for our obesity epidemic.

Yet sugar is not just full of calories. Some scientists are claiming that, calorific content aside, a sugary diet is harmful because it alters crucial processes and hormone levels in the body.

To make matters worse, some experts believe sugar may be addictive. In a 2007 French study, rats allowed to choose between sugar and cocaine overwhelmingly chose sugar. This was even true among rats already given so much cocaine they were showing signs of addiction.

Dr Aseem Malhotra, a London cardiologist and member of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges obesity group, believes sugar should be regulated like alcohol because it shares four key characteristics. 'It's toxic, unavoidable, capable of abuse and has a negative impact on society,' he says.

It can trigger heart attacks
Sugar is bad news for the heart, even in seemingly healthy individuals, says cardiologist Dr Aseem Malhotra.


'Studies suggest that sugar causes the liver to produce more uric acid, and this leads to high blood pressure - the leading cause of death globally because it raises the risk of heart disease and stroke. Sugar also seems to raise cholesterol.
