Pics of Royal Weddings of Zara Phillips


Three months after the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge exchanged vows, Zara Phillips, Queen Elizabeth II’s eldest granddaughter will be married in Edingburgh, Scotland on Saturday.Phillips, a former world championship winning equestrian, will marry Mike Tindall, a professional rugby player for Gloucester rugby team in England. Although Phillips was born to the Queen’s only daughter, Princess Anne, her royal status has often been underplayed.

Hugo Vickers, a royal historian, said the upcoming nuptials will not be like the royal wedding that countless viewers worldwide tuned in to watch her cousin Prince William take part in.
Royal historian Hugo Vickers says it will be more "sporting celebrity occasion" than a royal wedding.
"The whole set-up is much more informal, it's very much a family thing," Vickers told BBC News.
"I wouldn't say [Tindall] is marrying into the royal family, rather she is marrying out of the royal family."

Air Crash in USA


The 157 passengers and six crew members aboard a Caribbean Airlines plane were safe after it crashed at the airport in Georgetown, Guyana, Saturday morning, the government said.
The incident happened at about 1:30 a.m. at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport.
For reasons under investigation, the plane was unable to come to a stop on the runway and crashed into a grassy patch, government spokesman Roger Bhulai told CNN.
Several people suffered broken hands, ankles or light head injuries, but there were no fatalities, he said. Several passengers were transported the hospital, though the exact number wasn't immediately known.
The plane's fuselage split in front of the wings, but did not separate from the plane.
"The plane ran off the whole runway," Bhulai said.
The back wheels of the plane touched the runway, but it became unstable when the front wheel touched down, he said.
"It started to wobble when it landed," Bhulai said.
The Boeing 737 was arriving from Port of Spain, Trinidad, Caribbean Airlines said in a statement. The flight originated in New York.
"The airline's primary concern at this time is for those on board the aircraft and their families," the airline said.
Once the plane had come to a stop, the passengers exited from the rear door of the plane, which was lower to the ground than the middle door, Bhulai said. People had to jump out the back door because for some reason the emergency shoot was not deployed, he said.
The crash landing was shocking news in Guyana, a former Dutch colony and British territory that gained its independence in 1966. It has a population of nearly 750,000.
The country's president, Bharrat Jagdeo, went to the scene, along with several of his Cabinet ministers. Jagdeo walked around the plane and talked to passengers for a while at the scene, Bhulai said.
The airline said it was dispatching several officials to Guyana as well.
The airport was closed Saturday morning and at least one flight was canceled. It was expected to resume operations as normal by noo

Birth Control pills for men..



In an article in the New York Times, reporter Pam Belluck explores all of the male-based methods of contraception currently in development that promise to be more long-term than a condom and require less commitment than a vasectomy. What's remarkable about that story is how similarly it reads to the development of female contraceptives.
The original female birth control pill was developed as a fertility treatment, but when it failed, researchers realized they had a potentially effective contraceptive on their hands. Similarly, most of the male contraceptives that have been developed began as treatments for unrelated illnesses. For example, one drug called gamendazole was first developed as an anticancer drug, but interrupts the maturation cycle of the sperm, rendering it nonfunctional. Two other “accidental discovery” drugs are in early stage development as well: a blood pressure drug and an antipsychotic medication, both of which prevent ejaculation during orgasm.
And it turns out that when it comes to grappling with hormonally-based contraceptive medication, female hormones may be critical in interfering with sperm's ability to start a pregnancy. Belluck reports that a cocktail of the female hormone progestin and the male hormone testosterone may be among the first methods approved. The progestin tricks the brain into signaling the testes to stop producing testosterone, which in turn stops the production of sperm. Testosterone is added in the pill to avoid diminished libido and muscle loss, which can result when the hormone's levels drop too low. So far, in early tests, the agent worked on 95% of the men who tried it, but there are lingering questions about the long-term effects of suppressing testosterone in men.
Such combinations of hormones are already widely used in several female contraceptives, however, such as patches and rings, which package progestin with another female hormone, estrogen. While the two methods work in different ways to inhibit fertilization, their side effects are surprisingly similar.

Psoriasis infects Kim Kardashian



TV personality and model Kim Kardashian has been diagnosed with psoriasis, say media reports. In a recent episode of her hit US reality show, 'Keeping up with the Kardashian,' Kim was seen with big, blotchy red marks on her skin. Evidently symptoms of a skin condition called psoriasis.

According to the report, Kim's mother Kris Jenner also suffers from the condition, which is characterized by dry skin
Stress is also said to be a large factor in causing the skin condition to flare up and with her wedding around the corner, it would be interesting to see if she can lower her stress levels and deal with the diagnosis.
The disease has a largely genetic component involved in it. The condition, luckily, is treatable, but it can be triggered by all sorts of things, including alcohol, stress, upper respiratory infections, dry air, and skin injuries.
The self-proclaimed vain star has admitted to having hair from all over her body removed via laser; Botox treatments and she's rarely seen without makeup, suffice to say she can't be too happy with the visible sin condition.
Unsurprisingly, Kim Kardashianhas decided to go the same route as LeAnn Rimes by openly talking about her psoriasis, stating:
''I'd heard of it before because my mom has always had it, but she didn't have red flaky dots all over her. People don't understand the pressure on me to look perfect. When I gain a pound, it's in the headlines, so imagine what the tabloids will do to me when they see all these spots.''
See Kim's shocked reaction when discovering the psoriasis condition, which will be featured in the upcoming episode of her reality show, 'Keeping up with the Kardashians'.
