Donald Trump SO MAD Colorado Fire Marshal Refused To Let Him Die In A Fire

Donald Trump is just on a ROLL here this week. He’s been going around insulting the Khans and god knows who else and generally tantrumming all over the internets because no one else on the entire planet seems to think that is a normal thing to do. Also, on Saturday, he got stuck in an elevator for 30 minutes with 10 other people in Colorado Springs, right before he had to go to one of his rallies! 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQk258BLW9WEjxQ9FxiDbk17otf8_BMuOIPQoigycWsk0xzcptj" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="457" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQk258BLW9WEjxQ9FxiDbk17otf8_BMuOIPQoigycWsk0xzcptj" width="640" /></a></div>
 
I know what you are thinking, and NO, he did not get stuck in an elevator with a pregnant woman going into labor and then had to deliver a baby. Which is probably a good thing, since unlike Zach Morris or Brendan Walsh or Cherie from Punky Brewster or Vinnie Barbarino, it’s unlikely he would be able to step up in such a scenario, given his intense phobia of female bodily functions. Probably, as in most other situations, he would have reacted pretty much just like Archie Bunker did. 
 
He just got regular stuck in an elevator! And then the Colorado Springs firefighters came in and rescued him and got him out of the elevator and then he got to go to the big rally after all and give his big speech! 
 
And what did he do in that speech? Did he thank the firefighters who rescued him? Did he express gratitude for not having had to deliver a baby while stuck in there? 
 
HAHAHAHAHAHA. No, he did not. Don’t be silly. He instead took that time to talk about how Fire Marshal Brett Lacey — who had recently been honored by the city as “Civilian of the Year” for having helped with the wounded during the 2015 Planned Parenthood shooting — just didn’t know what he was doing, because he didn’t let more people into the building than allowed by the fire code after the organizers sold more tickets to the rally than there were people allowed in that building! Probably he didn’t want to let more people in because he was a Democrat, Trump said, and not because he was concerned for their safety! NICE! 
 
Lacey responded to this by saying: 
 
“There’s an old adage that when a fire marshal walks into a room, milk curdles. So because we’re always looking out for public safety and trying to make certain venues go off successfully and safely sometimes there are people that aren’t very happy with some of the rules and regulations we’re required to enforce. But it doesn’t bother me at all.” 
 
Really? Is that an old adage? Really? That is a terrible old adage. Because I, for one, am SUPER OK with all those rules and regulations and can think of much better reasons for milk to curdle around Donald Trump! I love those rules and regulations! Those rules and regulations are the best! As are the Fire Marshals who enforce them! Love those guys and gals! You know, because DYING IN A FIRE does not seem like a good time. In fact, it seems like the worst time possible. Also, being that I am not Donald Trump, as much as I don’t like him, I do not want him to die in a fire. Not literally anyway. Just with votes! 
 
Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper criticized Trump for going after Lacey in a tweet, and demanded an apology:

Syrian Rebels Launch Offensive In Aleppo To Break Assad’s Siege

The opposition groups called on people trapped inside the city to create their own no-fly zone by burning tires to throw off Syrian regime fighter jets

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Syrian rebel groups are calling the launch of a major offensive against pro-regime forces in Aleppo the largest in the “history of the Syrian revolution.”</div>
 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On Sunday the campaign began to break the siege imposed by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s army and its allies of opposition-held parts of the northern city, and according to statements made by rebels, to try to liberate the entire city.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
With the failure by the international community to impose a no-fly zone over Syria to date, prominent social media accounts of the Syrian opposition are calling on people inside Aleppo to make their own no-fly zone by burning tires to put off Syrian fighter jets bombing the city. Facebook and Twitter pages affiliated with the Syrian opposition called for a “no-fly zone uprising” across the country, but especially in Aleppo, Vocativ found. Other accounts uploaded images and video showing children burning tires and clouds of smoke covering the city. “After the Muslim community failed to support the Syrian revolution with an anti-aircraft weapon, the cubs of Syria announce a no-fly zone over Aleppo by making a smoke screen,” tweeted one user who uploaded an image allegedly showing a young Syrian man carrying tires.</div>

Father Of Muslim War Hero: Trump’s Ignorance Is Dangerous

Khizr Khan's Muslim son was killed fighting in Iraq—and he has a message for Trump and his supporters when he speaks at the DNC on Thursday 
 
 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://media.vocativ.com/photos/2016/07/CaptHumayunKhanUS-Army_rev23416176068.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="424" src="http://media.vocativ.com/photos/2016/07/CaptHumayunKhanUS-Army_rev23416176068.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The father of a Muslim U.S. military veteran who was killed fighting in Iraq spoke Thursday at the Democratic National Convention, where he delivered one of the most scathing critiques of Donald Trump at the DNC so far.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Khizr Khann took the stage directly before Chelsea Clinton introduced her mother. “Donald Trump, you are asking Americans to trust you with our future. Let me ask you: Have you even read the US Constitution? I will gladly lend you my copy,” Khan said, pulling out a pocket-sized edition of the document and holding it up. “In this document, look for the words liberty and equal protection of law.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Khan first shared his son’s story with Vocativ in December, when a Trump presidency looked more like the pipe-dream of a billionaire reality TV star than a looming reality. We first spoke shortly after the now-GOP nominee for president made some of his endless disparaging comments about Muslims. (Read our initial story about Captain Humayun S. M. Khan here.) Vocativ spoke with Khan again this week about what he planned to tell the convention hall and the millions of Americans who watched his speech.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
“I wish to share with the rest of the world the value of equal dignity and liberty, a hallmark of American democracy,” he said. “[And] how unaware Trump remains of these exceptional values when he insults others. We are direct beneficiaries of these values.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Khan’s son, Humayun S. M. Khan, was a University of Virginia graduate with plans to go to law school when he decided to enlist in the U.S. Army. He was a model student, citizen, and soldier. He rose to the rank of captain and bravely died defending his unit from a suicide bombing attack.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On June 8, 2004, a car approached the gates of the base Khan and his unit were tasked with defending. Soldiers under Khan’s command approached the vehicle prepared to inspect it. Khan, however, noticed something about the vehicle, his father previously told Vocativ, and ordered his men to “hit the dirt.” Captain Khan approached the vehicle himself and demanded the driver to stop. Inside the car were two suicide bombers and a large amount of explosives. As the car reached the gate, the bomb was detonated, killing Khan and wounding 10 U.S. soldiers. His father believes many more men might have died without Khan’s warning. Khan was posthumously awarded the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart, two of the military’s highest honors.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
“We still wonder what made him take those 10 steps [towards the car],” Khan’s father said. “Maybe that’s the point where all the values, all the service to country, all the things he learned in this country kicked in. It was those values that made him take those 10 steps. Those 10 steps told us we did not make [a] mistake in moving to this country. These were the values we wanted to adopt. Not religious values, human values.”</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Trump has repeatedly called for a ban on Muslim families like Khan’s from entering the U.S. The Khan family, his father said, and Muslim’s across America contribute immensely to this country, and want to work together to “rat out any traitor who walks amongst us. This is high time for Muslims to stand firm” against the extremists whose radical ideology Trump exploits to drum up fear of an entire religion.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
 </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
According to Khan, the GOP nominee doesn’t understand the contributions of Muslim Americans. “How dangerous such ignorance is for a candidate for the highest office,” he said Thursday.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Meneja wa Diamond kudaiwa Mil. 250

BAADA ya hivi karibuni Mahakama Kuu Kanda ya Dar es Salaam kutoa hati ya kukamatwa kwa Meneja wa ‘Diamond Platnumz’, Hamis Taletale ‘Babu Tale’ kwa kutotii amri ya kumlipa Shehe Hamis Mbonde Sh. Milioni 250, kisha yeye kuibuka na kukanusha madai hayo, kiongozi huyo wa dini naye amefunguka kwa kirefu undani wa suala hilo, Risasi Jumamosi lina mchongo kamili.BABU TALE ALIMFUATA KWAKE 
 
Gazeti hili lilifunga safari hadi kwa shehe huyo, Chamazi jijini Dar na ambako alielezea kwa kirefu sakata hilo lilivyokuwa mwanzo mwisho. 
 
“Ishu nzima ilikuwa mwaka 2013 ambapo nikiwa hapa nyumbani kwangu (Chamazi) walikuja watu waliojitambulisha kuwa ni viongozi wa Kampuni ya Tip Top Connection, wakajitambulisha kulikuwa na Mwarabu, Abdu Bonge (marehemu), Iddi Tale, Babu Tale na Adam Mwakuhama ‘Madenge’ aliyejitambulisha kama Meneja,” alisema Mbonde. 
 
 Shehe Hamis Mbonde 
 
WAMPA AHADI KIBAO 
 
Baada ya kujitambulisha walimwambia kilichowapeleka kuwa walikuwa wakimuomba aingie makubaliano ya kufanya naye kazi pamoja ambapo watakuwa wakifanya biashara ya kurekodi mawaidha na kutengeneza nakala za DVD kwa ajili ya kuzisambaza nchi nzima (kwenye misikiti) na kuziuza. 
 
“Niliwakubalia kwa kuwa waliniambia kuwa wataninunulia nyumba, gari na kunipa Sh. Milioni 50 kama kianzio. Nilikubali mbele ya mashahidi wangu wawili waliokuwepo siku hiyo,” aliongeza Shehe Mbonde. 
 
WAMGEUKA 
 
Shehe Mbonde anaendelea kutiririka kuwa baada ya kukubaliana bila kulipana chochote huku akipewa miadi ya kwenda kufanyiwa ‘process’, baada ya wiki kadhaa aliitwa ofisini kwao. 
 
“Waliniita na kuniambia kuwa tuanze kazi ya kurekodi wakati nikisubiri vile walivyoniahidi, walinipa shilingi milioni mbili na kuniambia hazipo kwenye ahadi ile kubwa, bali ni kama kifuta jasho pindi watakapokuwa wakinitumia katika kusambaza DVD. 
 
Kasha la DVD hiyo. 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i0.wp.com/globalpublishers.co.tz/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/shehe-6.jpg?resize=512%2C713" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://i0.wp.com/globalpublishers.co.tz/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/shehe-6.jpg?resize=512%2C713" width="458" /></a></div>
 
 
“Nilichukua kiasi kile cha pesa na baada ya mwezi nilishangaa kusikia DVD zangu (mojawapo Uzito wa Kifo) zikiuzwa kila kona pasipo kunishirikisha kwa lolote. Nikawapigia simu, walinijibu kwamba siwadai kitu, niende popote na nifanye niwezavyo. Basi nikachukua mawakili wangu watatu (Mwesigwa Muhingo, Gwamaka Mwaikugile na Clement Kihoko) wakasimamia kesi hiyo,” alisema shehe huyo. 
 
KESI YAANZA KUNGURUMA 
 
Mawakili hao walifungua kesi ya madai namba 185/2013 wakiomba mahakama iamuru wadaiwa wamlipe Shehe Mbonde Sh.Milioni 700 kama fidia ya kukiuka makubaliano na Sh. Milioni 50 kama fidia ya hasara aliyoipata kutokana na kuvunjwa kwa makubaliano. 
 
Baada ya kesi hiyo kuanza kuunguruma, watuhumiwa hao waliitwa mahakamani na Madenge alithibitisha kumjua mdai na kwamba vyote vilivyokuwa vikilalamikiwa ni kweli. 
 
“Kesi iliendelea kuanzia 2013, Februari mwaka huu nilishinda kesi na mahakama ikamuamuru Babu Tale alipe kiasi hicho cha fedha, tukakaa kimya kuanzia mwezi huo lakini hadi Juni hakuwa ameripoti hivyo mahakama ikaamuru atafutwe. 
 
Hivi ni baadhi ya vielelezo vya madai hayo. 
 
 
 
BABU TALE ASAKWA 
 
“Tulienda kwa Mkuu wa Polisi Kanda ya Ilala kupata usaidizi wa kukamatwa kwa Babu Tale lakini kutokana na kuwa amehama makazi aliyokuwa amepanga (Tabata, Ilala) na kuishi Mbezi Marambamawili, Kinondoni hivyo tulisaidiwa na polisi wa Mbezi kwa Yusuf na kwenda hadi nyumbani kwake. 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://globalpublishers.co.tz/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/babu-tale-768x512.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="http://globalpublishers.co.tz/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/babu-tale-768x512.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
 
 
“Tulipofika na kujitambulisha hali ilibadilika, Babu Tale alitufungulia mbwa wapatao nane kutufukuza,” alisema shehe huyo na kusisitiza kwa kuonesha nyaraka za uthibitisho kuwa  anayemdai ni Babu Tale na si Abdu kama anavyosema meneja huyo katika mitandao mbalimbali ya kijamii. 
 
Hata hivyo, shehe huyo alisisitiza kuwa lazima Babu Tale atakamatwa kwa sababu mahakama kuu imeshatoa kibali kwenda kwa Kamanda Mkuu wa Polisi Ilala na kwa kuwa amehama katika wilaya hiyo taratibu za kufuatilia kibali kingine mahakamani kwenda kwa Mkuu wa Polisi wa Wilaya Kinondoni anakoishi kwa sasa Babu Tale zinaendelea. 
 
MANENO YA BABU TALE 
 
Kwa mujibu wa Babu Tale, anasema alifungua Kampuni ya Tip Top Connection pamoja na kaka yake (Abdu Bonge) na kwamba Abdu alijikita kwenye filamu na yeye muziki, hivyo hajawahi kufanya makubaliano kama hayo, labda alifanya marehemu Abdu na shehe

Akizungumza na Wikienda, Lungi alisema anakerwa na tabia ya mastaa wa kike kuchukuliana wanaume kwani tabia hiyo itawakosti kwa sababu magonjwa mengi ya kuambukiza hutokana na kujamiiana hivyo likiibuka gonjwa kwa mmoja, litasambaa kwa wengi.

“Unakuta staa anakuwa na mwanaume asubuhi, mwenzake anamchukua jioni bila kujali hili ni tatizo kubwa kwani ni rahisi sana kuambukizana magonjwa. Mbaya zaidi mastaa hao wanadiriki kushindana kwa kuwazalia wanaume hao hivyo ni janga la baadaye wao hawalioni,” alisema Lungi.

Machangu: Tunahamia Dodoma

DAR ES SALAAM: ”Kama serikali yote inahamia Dodoma kwenye makao makuu ya nchi, ina maana hapa Dar hakutakuwa na maana tena! Wateja wote ni Dodoma sasa sisi tunasubiri nini? Na sisi tunahamia Dodoma,” ndivyo alivyosikika dadapoa mmoja aliyegoma kutaja jina lake, lakini kijiwe chake kikiwa maeneo ya Sinza Afrikasana, Dar. 
 
machangu (3)Wiki hii, Amani liliamua kufanya mahojiano na uchunguzi kwa machangudoa wa maeneo mbalimbali ya Wilaya ya Kinondoni kuwasikia wanasemaje kuhusu tamko la serikali kuwa, wizara zote zinahamia Dodoma ambako ndiko kwenye makao makuu ya serikali. 
 
Amani liliamua kuzungumza na akinadada poa hao baada ya kuwepo madai kwamba, mji wa Dodoma umeanza kupokea wageni kutoka nje ya mkoa huo ambao wamekwenda kusaka fursa mbalimbali kutokana na serikali kuhamia huko. 
 
 
Baadhi ya machungudoa wa eneo hilo la Afrikasana walisema kuwa, baada ya kuona wimbi la watu wanataja Dodoma na wao wamejipanga kuhamia huko kwa kuendeleza biashara hiyo. 
 
“Mimi mfano, natokea Tanga, nimekuja Dar kwa ajili ya kujiuza, sasa serikali inapohamia Dodoma maana yake ni kwamba, mambo mengi, yatahamia kule. “Nimesikia watu wakisema kuwa, hapa Dar patabaki peupe kwani hata foleni zitakwisha, msongamano utakuwa Dodoma. 
 
machangu (1)Sasa mimi Dar nabaki kufanya nini?” alisema mmoja wa machangu hao akisema anaitwa Mwajabu Idi, mkazi wa Mapinduzi, Tanga. Mwenzake aliyedai anaitwa Kidawa, mkazi wa Morogoro alisema: “Kwenda Dodoma si hiari yetu bali ni hali halisi. Kazi yetu (ya kuuza miili) haina tofauti na wafanyabiashara wengine, unaangalia soko liko wapi? Kwa hiyo kama soko litahamia Dodoma na sisi hukohuko.” 
 
HALI YA DODOMA KWA SASA 
 
Amani lilizungumza na baadhi ya wakazi wa Dodoma ambao walisema kuwa, tangu Rais Dk. 
 
John Pombe Magufuli ‘JPM’ atangaze kwenye Mkutano Mkuu wa Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) kwamba, ndani ya miaka minne na miezi minne iliyobaki ya utawala wake, serikali yote itahamia Dodoma, mji huo umebadilika ghafla. 
 
“Na si kwa tangazo la Magufuli tu. Hata Waziri Mkuu Kassim Majaliwa alipotangaza kwenye maadhimisho ya Siku ya Mashujaa, Julai 25 hapa mjini Dodoma kwamba yeye atakuwa wa kwanza kuhamia Dodoma Septemba mwaka huu, hali kwenye mji huu imebadilika. 
 
“Baadhi ya wenye nyumba wameanza kupandisha bei ya vyumba, nyumba. Wenye viwanja nao bei juu. Lakini matajiri wenye hoteli nao wameanza kukarabati wakijua wanaingia kwenye ushindani wa kibiashara,” alisema mkazi mmoja wa mji huo aliyejitambulisha kwa jina la Msokola.

WAFANYABIASHARA WA DAR 
 
Sambamba na hali hiyo, wafanyabiashara wengi wa jijini Dar es Salaam wameanza kujipanga kwa uwekezaji mkubwa utakaofanyika mjini Dodoma. 
 
“Unajua awamu zote zilisema zitahamia Dodoma. Alianza Baba wa Taifa (Julius Nyerere), akaja Mzee Ruksa (Ali Hassan Mwinyi), akaja mzee Mkapa (Benjamin) na hata JK (Jakaya Kikwete). 
 
“Lakini hakuna aliyefanikisha. 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i1.wp.com/globalpublishers.co.tz/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/machangu-1.jpg?resize=640%2C417" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="416" src="http://i1.wp.com/globalpublishers.co.tz/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/machangu-1.jpg?resize=640%2C417" width="640" /></a></div>
 
 
Sasa huyu JPM bwana hanaga utani wala kusubiri. Akisema amesema, najua kweli atahamia Dodoma, we utaona. Ndiyo maana hata sisi wafanyabiashara tunajipanga kwenda Dodoma,” alisema Alex Shayo, mfanyabiashara wa baa, Kimara.

Baada ya Koffi Olomide kukamatwa Jumanne July 26 2016 nyumbani kwake Kinshasa kwa tuhuma za kumshambulia dancer wake wa kike wakati wakiwa uwanja wa ndege wa kimataifa wa Jomo Kenyata Nairobi na baadaye ikawa imeripotiwa kuwa amehukumiwa kwenda jela miezi 18 na adhabu hiyo kutajwa kuwa haitakuwa na faini.

Taarifa zilizoripotiwa ni kwamba Koffi Olomide kaachiwa huru baada ya kutumikia kifungo cha siku mbili kati ya miezi 18 aliyohukumiwa awali, BBC imeripoti kuwa kuachiwa kwa koffi Olomide kumekuja baada ya Mahakama ya Kinshasa kusema kuwa hawakuona sababu za kutosha za kuhukumiwa kwa Koffi Olomide kutokana na tukio alilofanya JKIA. 
 
Pamoja na baadhi ya vyombo vya habari Afrika kuripoti kwamba Koffi alihukumiwa kifungo cha miezi 18 jela , Promoter wake wa nchini  Kenya Jules Nsana amekanusha madai hayo  na kusema  kesi dhidi ya Koffi ilikuwa bado iko kwenye uchunguzi na kwamba baada ya uchunguzi wamebaini hakuna ushahidi wa kutosha wa kumtia hatiani Koffi Olomide. 
 
Promoter Jules amesema Olomide alimpigia simu akamtaka aombe msamaha kwa wakenya wote kwa niaba yake…..>>>’Koffi alinipigia mwenyewe baada tu ya kuachiwa na akaniomba niombe msamaha kwa wakenya kwa niaba yake, tumpe siku mbili, tatu atazungumza mwenyewe’

John Legend, 37, just made everyone’s day by gracing us with yet another insanely cute photo of baby Luna, three months. The singer posted a photo of he and <a href="http://hollywoodlife.com/tag/chrissy-teigen/" style="color: #ff0099; font-size: 14.0013999938965px; text-decoration: none;">Chrissy</a>‘s, 30, first child laying down on what looks like a white bed, dressed in the sweetest ruffled, pineapple outfit. AW!</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 19px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px;">
</div>
He captioned the post with a bunch of pineapple emojis to match her little ensemble. Baby Luna is looking away from the camera, but her cuteness is enough to make anyone melt. And we have to admit, we’re loving her get-up. We’re wondering who picked this one out? — John or Chrissy?<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 19px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px;">
Aside from being a fashionista, the couple’s little one is already a pro traveler too! Luna’s done a lot of traveling lately, and by a lot we mean, all across Europe! She’s been vacationing with her proud parents in Italy, France, and Switzerland, and Luna’s even been hanging out <a href="http://hollywoodlife.com/2016/07/26/luna-john-legend-chrissy-teigen-vacation-family-st-tropez-yacht-pictures/" style="color: #ff0099; font-size: 14.0013999938965px; text-decoration: none;">on a gorgeous yacht in Saint Tropez</a>! No big deal.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px; line-height: 18px; margin-bottom: 19px; margin-top: 20px; padding: 0px;">
We’re surprised her famous mom has the time to jet-set all over since she’s been busy hanging with her bestie, Kim Kardashian, 35. The two appear on an <a href="http://hollywoodlife.com/2016/07/28/north-west-spray-tan-kim-kardashian-explain-how-video-watch/" style="color: #ff0099; font-size: 14.0013999938965px; text-decoration: none;">“Inner Circle” segment</a> on Kim’s app where they talk about breastfeeding and spray tans, and Kim even admits the first time North West, 3, got a spray tan. You read that right guys, you have to hear what happened. LOL!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, here’s to hoping we will be getting more adorable vacation pictures from the family of three, and if we’re lucky, maybe even a playdate pic with little North!<a href="http://i2.wp.com/pmchollywoodlife.files.wordpress.com/2016/05/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-baby-luna-saint-tropez-2016-ffn-3.jpg?crop=0px%2C0px%2C600px%2C460px&resize=150%2C115&ssl=1" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="490" src="http://i2.wp.com/pmchollywoodlife.files.wordpress.com/2016/05/chrissy-teigen-john-legend-baby-luna-saint-tropez-2016-ffn-3.jpg?crop=0px%2C0px%2C600px%2C460px&resize=150%2C115&ssl=1" width="640" /></a></div>

Julian Edelman’s Pregnant Model Wants NFL Star To Be A Part Of Baby’s Life – Report

After Swedish model, Ella Rose, came forward claiming she was pregnant with Julian Edelman’s child, she’s speaking out again. The model is reportedly claiming she wants Julian to be a part of the child’s life. See what else she has planned for the baby! 
 
Julian Edelman, 30, has a lot more going on than just his wide receiver duties for the New England Patriots. After Swedish model Ella Rose came forward that she was pregnant with his child, now she’s “telling friends she’s on great terms with the NFL star … and hopes he’s a big part of their daughter’s life,” TMZ is reporting. The model even “plans to move from L.A. to Massachusetts before giving birth so she can be closer to some of her good friends and also to make things easier for Julian to see the kid.” 
 
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://pmchollywoodlife.files.wordpress.com/2016/07/julian-edelman-ella-rose-lead.jpg?w=600" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://pmchollywoodlife.files.wordpress.com/2016/07/julian-edelman-ella-rose-lead.jpg?w=600" width="640" /></a></div>
 
 
The site first broke the news that the blonde, who is due in November, filed paternity documents in an L.A. County Superior Court naming Julian as the father of her unborn child. The two apparently had “a casual relationship for about two years,” TMZ mentioned, “but nothing was ever official between the two of them.” 
 
 
 
This timing couldn’t be more conflicting because the last we heard of Julian, he was dating Brazilian supermodel, Adriana Lima, 35. The two were spotted holding hands and getting cozy while walking around Straight Wharf in Nantucket July 23. The NFL player and the Victoria’s Secret alum met at the beginning of July 2016 at a party in Miami.

That black bodysuit, with the red, blue and yellow sequins, is to die for. We love how she compliments it with a grungy denim jacket. She also looks great in that shimmery black top and black leather pants ensemble. 
 
Selena’s hopped onto the bodysuit bandwagon while on her Revival tour. She’s been seen wearing a nude bodysuit and sheer cover-up. It’s sexy and chic! But our favorite has to be the glittery and gold bodysuit. Selena looks like a warrior princess! Somewhere out there, Justin Bieber is drooling.

HIV/AIDS & STDs Treatment

These guidelines for the treatment of persons who have or are at risk for sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) were updated by CDC after consultation with a group of professionals knowledgeable in the field of STDs who met in Atlanta on April 30–May 2, 2013. The information in this report updates the Sexually Transmitted Diseases Treatment Guidelines, 2010 (MMWR Recomm Rep 2010;59 [No. RR–12]). These updated guidelines discuss 1) alternative treatment regimens for Neisseria gonorrhoeae; 2) the use of nucleic acid amplification tests for the diagnosis of trichomoniasis; 3) alternative treatment options for genital warts; 4) the role of Mycoplasma genitalium in urethritis/cervicitis and treatment-related implications; 5) updated HPV vaccine recommendations and counseling messages; 6) the management of persons who are transgender; 7) annual testing for hepatitis C in persons with HIV infection; 8) updated recommendations for diagnostic evaluation of urethritis; and 9) retesting to detect repeat infection. Physicians and other health-care providers can use these guidelines to assist in the prevention and treatment of STDs.

Antibiotic-Resistant Gonorrhea Basic Information

Antibiotic resistance (AR) is the ability of bacteria to resist the effects of the drugs used to treat them. This means the germs are not killed and they will continue to reproduce. Neisseria (N.) gonorrhoeae, the bacteria that cause the STD gonorrhea, has developed resistance to nearly all of the antibiotics used for gonorrhea treatment:  sulfonilamides, penicillin, tetracycline, and fluoroquinolones, such as ciprofloxacin. We are currently down to one last effective class of antibiotics, cephalosporins, to treat this common infection. This is an urgent public health threat because gonorrhea control in the United States largely relies on effective antibiotic therapy. 
 
     Given the bacteria’s ability to adapt and survive antibiotics, it is critical to continuously monitor for antibiotic resistance and encourage research and development of new treatment regimens for gonorrhea. 
 
    Surveillance 
 
    Surveillance for antimicrobial resistance in N. gonorrhoeae in the United States is conducted through the Gonococcal Isolate Surveillance Project (GISP). Each year, 25–30 sites and 4–5 regional laboratories across the United States participate in GISP and collect thousands of N. gonorrhoeae samples from men with urethral gonorrhea at STD clinics. Isolates from these samples are then used by researchers to determine the bacteria’s susceptibility to a given set of antibiotics. Since 1989, data from this project have directly contributed to updating CDC's STD Treatment Guidelines for gonorrhea. 
 
     Clinicians are asked to report any N. gonorrhoeae specimen with decreased cephalosporin susceptibility and any gonorrhea cephalosporin treatment failure to CDC through their state or local public health authority. Bacteria have decreased susceptibility to a given antibiotic when laboratory results indicate that higher-than-expected antibiotic concentrations are needed to stop their growth. 
 
     In the United States, reports of apparent failures of infections to respond to treatment with CDC-recommended therapies should be reported to Robert D. Kirkcaldy, MD, MPH (rkirkcaldy@cdc.gov; 404-639-8659), Surveillance & Data Management Branch, Division of STD Prevention, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Rd. NE, Mailstop E02, Atlanta, GA 30333. 
 
     CDC also recommends that isolates from certain infections be submitted to the Neisseria Reference Laboratory at CDC for confirmation: John Papp, Ph.D. JPapp@cdc.gov; 404-639-3785, Neisseria Reference Laboratory, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1600 Clifton Rd. NE, Mailstop A12, Atlanta, GA 30333.  These infections comprise those that do not respond to CDC-recommended therapy. See pg. 6, Recommended Testing and Confirmatory Testing for a complete list. 
 
                         Trends and Treatment 
 
In 1993, ciprofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone, and cephalosporins ceftriaxone and cefixime were the recommended treatments for gonorrhea. However, in the late 1990s and early 2000s, ciprofloxacin resistance was detected in Hawaii and the West Coast, and by 2004 ciprofloxacin resistance was detected among men who have sex with men (MSM) with gonorrhea. By 2006, 13.8% of isolates exhibited resistance to ciprofloxacin, and ciprofloxacin resistance was present in all regions of the country, and in the heterosexual population. On April 13, 2007, CDC stopped recommending fluoroquinolones as empiric treatment for gonococcal infections for all people in the United States. The cephalosporins, either cefixime or ceftriaxone, were the only remaining recommended treatments. 
 
      Similar to trends observed elsewhere in the world, CDC has observed recent worrisome trends of decreasing cephalosporin susceptibility, especially to the oral cephalosporin cefixime. To preserve cephalosporins for as long as possible, CDC has since then made the following changes to its STD Treatment Guidelines: 
 
     In 2010, CDC changed its treatment recommendations to recommend dual therapy for the treatment of gonorrhea and increased the recommended dose of ceftriaxone to 250 mg. 
Following continued declines in cefixime susceptibility, CDC updated its recommendations in 2012 to recommend ceftriaxone plus either azithromycin or doxycycline as the only first-line treatment. 
CDC’s 2015 STD Treatment Guidelines now recommend only one regimen of dual therapy for the treatment of gonorrhea—the injectable cephalosporin ceftriaxone, plus oral azithromycin. Dual therapy is recommended to address the potential emergence of gonococcal cephalosporin resistance. 
In 2012 and 2013, there were dramatic decreases in resistance to cefixime. However, resistance levels increased in 2014. CDC has not received any reports of verified clinical treatment failures to any cephalosporin in the United States. 
 
                       Challenges 
       A major challenge to monitoring emerging antimicrobial resistance of N. gonorrhoeae is the substantial decline in the use of gonorrhea culture by many clinicians, as well as the reduced capability of many laboratories to perform gonorrhea culture techniques required for antibiotic susceptibility testing. Culture testing is when the bacteria is first grown on a nutrient plate and is then exposed to known amounts of an antibiotic to determine the bacteria’s susceptibility to the antibiotic. The decline in culture testing results from an increased use of newer nonculture-based laboratory technology, such as a diagnostic test called the Nucleic Acid Amplification Test (NAAT). Currently, there is no well-studied reliable technology that allows for antibiotic susceptibility testing from nonculture specimens. Increased laboratory culture capacity is needed. 
 
                      Laboratory Issues 
 
     CDC recommends that all state and local health department labs maintain or develop the capacity to perform gonorrhea culture, or form partnerships with experienced laboratories that can perform this type of testing.

Monkeypox is a rare disease that is caused by infection with monkeypox virus. Monkeypox virus belongs to the Orthopoxvirus genus in the family Poxviridae. The Orthopoxvirus genus also includes variola virus (the cause of smallpox), vaccinia virus (used in the smallpox vaccine), and cowpox virus. 
 
<img alt="Image of a child affected with monkeypox. " height="640" src="http://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/images/child-multiview-monkeypox-250h.jpg" width="417" /> 
(a child with monkeypox disease) 
      Monkeypox was first discovered in 1958 when two outbreaks of a pox-like disease occurred in colonies of monkeys kept for research, hence the name ‘monkeypox.’ The first human case of monkeypox was recorded in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of Congo during a period of intensified effort to eliminate smallpox. Since then monkeypox has been reported in humans in other central and western African countries (see table below). The 2003 outbreak in the United States is the only time monkeypox infections in humans were documented outside of Africa. 
 
The natural reservoir of monkeypox remains unknown. However, African rodent species are expected to play a role in transmission. 
 
There are two distinct genetic groups (clades) of monkeypox virus—Central African and West African. West African monkeypox is associated with milder disease, fewer deaths, and limited human-to-human transmission. 
In humans, the symptoms of monkeypox are similar to but milder than the symptoms of smallpox. Monkeypox begins with fever, headache, muscle aches, and exhaustion. The main difference between symptoms of smallpox and monkeypox is that monkeypox causes lymph nodes to swell (lymphadenopathy) while smallpox does not. The incubation period (time from infection to symptoms) for monkeypox is usually 7−14 days but can range from 5−21 days. 
 
The illness begins with: 
 
 
<ol>
<li>Fever</li>
<li>Headache</li>
<li>Muscle aches</li>
<li>Backache</li>
<li>Swollen lymph nodes</li>
<li>Chills</li>
<li>Exhaustion</li>
</ol>
 
Within 1 to 3 days (sometimes longer) after the appearance of fever, the patient develops a rash, often beginning on the face then spreading to other parts of the body. 
 
Lesions progress through the following stages before falling off: 
 
 
<ul>
<li>Macules</li>
<li>Papules</li>
<li>Vesicles</li>
<li>Pustules</li>
<li>Scabs</li>
</ul>
 
The illness typically lasts for 2−4 weeks. In Africa, monkeypox has been shown to cause death in as many as 1 in 10 persons who contract the disease. 
There are number of measures that can be taken to prevent infection with monkeypox virus: 
 
       Avoid contact with animals that could harbor the virus (including animals that are sick or that have been found dead in areas where monkeypox occurs). 
Avoid contact with any materials, such as bedding, that has been in contact with a sick animal. 
Isolate infected patients from others who could be at risk for infection. 
Practice good hand hygiene after contact with infected animals or humans. For example, washing your hands with soap and water or using an alcohol-based hand sanitizer. 
Use personal protective equipment (PPE) when caring for patients.

Orf Virus (Sore Mouth Infection)

What are the clinical signs of an orf virus infection in humans? 
Infection with orf virus is usually confined to the epidermis (top layer) of the skin. Lesions (one to a few) or nodules will often occur on the fingers, hands, or the forearms. Lesions begin as small papules that will become ulcerative in nature. Orf virus lesions typically progress through six stages each lasting approximately one week. Other symptoms may include a mild fever, malaise (fatigue), or local swelling of lymph nodes. Lesions generally range in size from 2-3 cm but can be as large as 5 cm. They can be painful but usually resolve on their own without scarring.

How do people become infected with orf virus? 
Orf virus infections in humans typically occur when broken skin comes into contact with the virus from infected animals or contaminated equipment. Activities that may put you at risk for infection include: 
 
 
<ul>
<li>Bottle feeding, tube feeding, or shearing sheep or goats</li>
<li>Petting or having casual contact with infected animals</li>
<li>Handling infected equipment such as a harness</li>
<li>Being bitten by an infected animal.</li>
<li>Orf virus is not transmitted from one infected person to another.</li>
</ul>
 
Orf virus infections do not generate enduring immunity, a person can be infected multiple times throughout his or her life, but subsequent infections may be less pronounced and may heal more quickly. 
 
What should I do if I think I've become infected? 
Currently there is no approved treatment for an orf virus infection. However, the lesion can become infected with bacteria if not properly managed. 
 
The lesion should be kept dry and covered to prevent a secondary infection with bacteria. While working with animals or during manual labor in which the lesion might get wet, use a watertight bandage. To promote healing, a non-weeping sore can be uncovered at bedtime or covered loosely if still weeping. 
 
If you are experiencing pain, fever, or notice that the lesion is becoming rapidly larger or spreading, you should see your doctor. 
 
A number of infectious agents can be transmitted from sheep and goats to humans. Some may even resemble orf in appearance but may be more serious. One such agent is anthrax, which can cause lethal disease in both goats and humans. You should seek medical attention if you notice a lesion that you cannot explain or the lesion is becoming rapidly larger. 
 
Are people with a compromised immune system at greater risk from an orf virus infection? 
Persons whose immune systems are compromised or suppressed due to infection with HIV, lupus, or cancer therapy, etc., can develop serious symptoms following orf virus infection, including large tumor-like lesions, progressive disease, development of multiple lesions, or erythema multiforme reactions involving rashes on the mucous membranes and skin. 
 
How can I keep from getting an orf virus infection? 
People can become infected with orf virus by having direct contact with infected animals or through equipment contaminated with the virus. Some animals may or may not have visible lesions (sores) but may still be able to spread the virus. 
 
Wear non-porous rubber or latex gloves when handling sheep or goats, especially when you have an open cut or sore and are handling the animals mouth/muzzle area. 
 
Practice good hand hygiene by washing with clean, warm water and soap for at least 20 seconds, or by using a waterless alcohol-based hand rub when soap is not available and hands are not visibly soiled. 
 
Are there any laboratory tests to diagnose orf virus infections in humans? 
A laboratory test for orf virus in people is available at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Specimens must be submitted for testing through a doctor or health department. 
 
For more information 
Please contact your doctor or your county or state health department.

The new of the album is Cruel Winter, but “Champions” is already poised to be the track of the summer after this performance. The crowd freaked out when Kanye popped up, and even more when they learned that he was going to stick around for a massive medley of hits. Ye made his grand entrance to roaring applause as the two sang “Mercy,” then transitioned into “Don’t Like (Remix)” Join Amazon Prime For Free — Thousands of Movies & Shows Anytime 
 
Pablo himself gave the crowd two songs of his new album, “Famous” and “Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1,” which were huge crowdpleasers. But hearing Kanye give his first live performance of “Champions” was something else. Sure, Kanye and Sean were missing most of the artists on the song (2 Chainz, Yo Gotti, Travis Scott, Desiigner, Quavo and Gucci Mane), but they made it work, and they made it work well. Just listen to how excited they were, rapping everyone else’s lines. 
 
“Champions” had just debuted earlier that day on Big Boy’s Neighborhood, so it made it an extra awesome touch that everyone got to hear it that quickly! The Cruel Winter collaboration had been in the works for four years, so it was about time! “Champions,” according to Kanye, is “the Avengers of Rap,” as he told The Fader. “We’re going to do a version of that song with 12 or 15 minutes, everybody.” And we’ll be the first in line to listen!
