8 Things To Know About A Government Shutdown
KaleenaUgh, one of the many reasons our bipartisan system is flawed.

KaleenaMy gut is slacking off.
A Texas man walked into the emergency room, complaining of dizziness after a meal. A Breathalyzer test indicated that he was definitely drunk. But there was one hitch: He hadn't touched alcohol all day. Could the microbes in his gut have be the culprit?

Rape Widespread Across Asia-Pacific, U.N. Survey Says
KaleenaI am surprised that as many as 1 in 4 REPORTED having raped a woman... the true figures are undoubtedly much higher than that.
The survey of 10,000 men in six Asian and Pacific countries found nearly 1 in 4 men reported raping a woman. The results of the survey were released the same day a court in New Delhi convicted four men of the rape and murder that shocked India last December.

Diverse Gut Microbes, A Trim Waistline And Health Go Together
KaleenaInteresting study on gut microbe diversity which suggests that increased usage of antibiotics and poor diets increase the likelihood for obesity and other illnesses.

Why Millennials Are Ditching Cars And Redefining Ownership
KaleenaAs a 29 year old that went carless by choice a year ago, I am surprised at how nice it is to not own one.
The Internet and file sharing have transformed how young people think about possessing music, art, books — even cars. As the millennial generation questions ownership of nearly any possession, they are opting instead to spend money on experiences. And car companies are left scratching their heads.

Hating On Fat People Just Makes Them Fatter

Student Loan Rates Set To Double On July 1
KaleenaDislike.
The interest rate on government-backed student loans is going to double on Monday. Policymakers in Washington could not agree on a plan to keep it from happening. If they don't agree on a plan soon, 7 million students expected to take out new Stafford loans could be stuck with a much bigger bill.

KaleenaI would love for the Republicans to get out of my vagina
The legislation is one of the most far-reaching abortion bills in decades and follows the May murder convictions of Philadelphia abortion doctor Kermit Gosnell. The bill, which would ban nearly all abortions starting 20 weeks after fertilization, is unlikely to ever become law.
