NEW YORK — Selena Gomez took to Instagram after paparazzi photos of her in Australia showed a scar from her kidney transplant for the first time. Social media users also commented on Gomez’s body and slight weight gain.  The singer wrote that the beauty myth was “an obsession with physical perfection that traps modern woman in an endless cycle of hopelessness, self consciousness and self-hatred.” Gomez says she “chose to take care of myself” because she wants to and “not to prove anything to anyone.” The post included a video of Gomez with friends on a boat in Sydney Harbor. The beauty myth- an obsession with physical perfection that traps modern woman in an endless cycle of hopelessness, self consciousness, and self-hatred as she tries to fulfill society’s impossible definition of flawless beauty. I chose to take care of myself because I want to, not to prove anything to anyone. Wind in her sails. 🌈💜 A post shared by Selena Gomez (@selenagomez) on Mar 19, 2018 at 9:56pm PDT The scar was the result of a complication from the kidney transplant she had last summer due to her struggle with lupus. Her best friend Francia Raisa, who donated the kidney, told W that their recoveries were hard and that Gomez suffered a frightening complication.  “A few hours after our surgery, I woke up and had a text from her that said,...

No group has claimed responsibility for the killings, but al-Shabab has beheaded individuals in the past that it accused of spying for the U.S.- and U.N.-backed Somali government. Hardline militants in Somalia give out harsh punishments such as stonings and 강원 랜드 vip 조건 amputations to people it accuses of crimes. Militants have also banned movies and modern music, saying that those types of entertainment are un-Islamic. Islamic insurgents control much of Mogadishu and have been trying to topple the fragile government for three years. Somalia has not had an effective government for 18 years. Relatives and friends say the men have been missing for the last five days. “We suspect they were executed by al-Shabab militants because they had in the past received phone threats accusing them of helping to construct the former Somali parliament premise,” said a resident who spoke on condition of anonymity because of fears for his safety. The al Qaeda-linked militants consider any Somali who works for the fragile government or with the African Union as apostates. “To slaughter a human being as an animal is a flagrant and brutal violation against international law,” said Ahmed Mohamed Ali, the head of a Somali human rights group. “Those behind such remorseless and shocking attacks will be brought to justice one day.” Elsewhere, clashes in central Somalia killed 12 people, mostly combatants, residents said. The fighting...

(AP) MUMBAI, India – For the last week, the laughter around Sheetal Talao pond in suburban Mumbai has taken on a muzzled quality. On June 18, Mumbai’s high court told police to do something about the laughter that erupted beneath Vinayak Shirsat’s windows each morning, causing his family “mental agony, pain and public nuisance,” according to the Press Trust of India. Since then, members of the Sheetal Jogging Association — who have been coming to the pond for three years for laughter yoga, devotional singing and light exercise — have been trying to contain their mirth. “Nobody’s laughing now,” said member Badruddin Khan. Watch: Laughter Yoga Sheetal Talao is, in truth, not a nice pond. The water is low and scuzzy with trash. But it’s the only open space in a neighborhood of winding lanes in the northern suburbs of India’s densely packed financial capital. The single spot of constant shade — a small gazebo — is right in front of Shirsat’s apartment, a three-story pink building with black bars on all the windows. Nearby are two curved benches, rising from a small plot of red mud and weeds, that the club uses for meditation and laughter. “Only this much space we’ve got. Where can we go?” said Prabhakar Naidu, 45, who said that since he started laughing he’s been able to walk up stairs without getting winded. Before...
