Transgender Women Can Breastfeed , First Case Study Shows.

The first scientific case study has been published describing how a US transgender woman was able to breastfeed her adopted infant by taking hormones that induce lactation. But experts say more research is needed to determine if the milk is nutritious and safe for babies. The report in the journal Transgender Health describes a 30-year-old transgender woman who was born male and had been taking feminizing hormone therapy for six years. She had not undergone any genital or breast surgeries. She sought medical advice because her partner was pregnant but was not interested in breastfeeding “and she hoped to take on the role of being the primary food source for her infant,” said the report, led by researchers at Mount Sinai Icahn School of Medicine in New York. The patient followed a regimen previously shown to induce lactation in women, including increased estradiol and progesterone, and was told to use a breast pump for five minutes per breast three times a day. She also obtai...

Federer ‘never imagined’ having chance to become oldest number one.

Roger Federer can become the oldest world number one on Friday, a remarkable achievement for the 20-time Grand Slam title winner who admitted he “never imagined” he’d get the opportunity. The 36-year-old faces Dutchman Robin Haase in the quarter-finals of the Rotterdam Open where victory will allow him to replace old rival and close friend Rafael Nadal at the top of the rankings. The Swiss would surpass Andre Agassi, who held the top spot in 2003 aged 33 years and 131 days. It would be Federer’s first time back at the summit since October 2012 having first claimed the top spot in February 2004. “This is an exciting challenge, I’ve struggled to try and get there. I had to win a lot of matches last year,” said Federer who was as low as 17 in the world in January last year before he returned to form with the Australian Open title. “I never imagined this after my (February 2016) knee surgery. Number one is a tough place to get to. “The most important thing is to be he...

10 Attitudes Guys Display Online When They Have No Girlfriends .

Nigerian comic writer, Tosyne2much has come again drawing the attention of people to the attitudes SOME guys display online when they have no babes 1. They "ass-lick" ladies to develop friendship The act of ass-licking is very common to some guys who have no babes. You see them loitering around a lady's social page just to crave attention. They do this by showering praises, liking both relevant and irrelevant pictures, thanking a lady for accepting their requests and doing other degrading things. This absurdity is very common on facebook 2. Sending unsolicited messages They never give up even if their mails are ignored (lai lai). They keep on trying their best and before you know it, they have already sent 100 unsolicited mails a day and will still be sending more. Sometimes they are forced to quote the lady reminding her replying their private messages. This is a very common trait with single guys that are battling with inferiority complex 3. They lash out to the lady ...

South Africa new president to stamp his mark in key speech.

South Africa's newly-minted president, Cyril Ramaphosa, will deliver his first major policy speech Friday, seizing the chance to offer the country a fresh start after nine bruising years under Jacob Zuma. The State of the Nation address is an annual mix of political pageantry and policy announcements, but the flagship event was postponed last week as Zuma battled to stay in office. He was forced to resign on Wednesday after the ruling African National Congress (ANC) party turned against him, and pro-business reformist Ramaphosa was sworn in as president on Thursday. The fight against corruption, allegations of which dogged Zuma and badly dented investor confidence, are expected to feature prominently in the speech, due to be delivered to parliament in Cape Town at 1700 GMT. "Issues to do with corruption... are on our radar," Ramaphosa said after being elected by parliament on Thursday. He vowed to use his address "to outline some of the steps we ar...

Pogba no longer seen as untouchable, and Mourinho's Man Utd reign could be defined by the fall-out.

The midfielder has struggled of late, and with his manager making no bones about his dissatisfaction the two could be on a calamitous collision course When Florian Lejeune won the header that led to Newcastle United’s winner last Sunday, it was Manchester United’s recent issues in microcosm form. Nemanja Matic barely moved as the centre-back beat him to the ball while Paul Pogba seemed lost in no-man’s land, back-pedaling and then halting as he realised his moment to challenge had gone. The two midfielders have both lost form to a desperate extent of late, and Jose Mourinho pulled no punches in blaming the pair after the game. “It’s really far from the goal, the players know the positions they have to be in but we miss the challenge in the air,” he said in his post-match press conference. “I remember clearly the Newcastle player jumping and two of my players looking at him and staying on the floor so the guy won the ball in the air. I won’t analyse players individually......

9 Things To Do After You Quit Your Job From Someone Who Just Did It.

Quitting your job, especially when you don't have anything else lined up, is scary. Getting everything ready, building up the courage to have the conversation with your boss, actually having the conversation with your boss — the whole process is anguish inducing. But once that is all over, what do you do after you quit your job ? There are typical answers to that question, like "stay on good terms with everyone" and "make sure your finances are in order," but what can you do during your time off for you? This past May, I quit the job I'd had for two years after college. I was planning on going back to school in the fall, and wanted to take a little time off to reevaluate and find myself before fully making the transition. Even though I knew it was only temporary, and that I had a new adventure waiting for me after a few short months of unemployment, it was scary as hell. Finding ways to fill the days, and to make myself feel like I was productive,...

4 Kinda Crazy Promises You Should Make With Yourself Every Morning

You have a routine. It involves thinking largely the same thoughts and processing the same worries every morning. Many things seem daunting. Many fears appear overpowering. But one way of getting through the day and actually making it more productive is to think apparently crazy thoughts that just might make sense. Here are a few to get you started. 1. I Will Cancel One of My Meetings Today, Just Because How long does the average meeting last? How often do you wish that you weren’t in it? How often have you walked out of that hour and thought: “That was a ritual. And nothing was achieved, except the ejection of blowhardy wind and bottom-covering negativity?” So pick the one most likely to achieve nothing and don’t go. Amuse yourself by deciding which one it’ll be. Then, amuse yourself by what you will do with that hour. Use it to free your mind, instead of having it held hostage. The next morning, think about how much difference your cancellation made. Here starts the road t...

6 Things to Do Before Leaving Your Job.

Of course, your last few weeks and months can be anything but amazing—it feels like there’s not enough time to get everything done, and I was sure that I would forget to do something really important before I had to turn in my work laptop.

I’ve put together a list of six things to do that will help you wrap things up efficiently so that you can spend less time worrying about work and more time getting excited for school in the fall. 1. Write a Transition Plan I know that planning doesn’t always sound that exciting, but putting together a transition plan is crucial for making sure that you’re able to get everything done before you leave. It doesn’...
