In a statement that was both expected, yet still somewhat surprising, world No. 3 and five-time Grand Slam champion Maria Sharapova withdrew from the U.S. Open on Sunday, about 18 hours before the tournament was set to begin. It’s the second time in three years that Sharapova has had to pull out of the Open due to injury, but only the fourth since making her major debut in 2003. As with everything that happens in the women’s bracket over the next fortnight, the immediate question after the Sharapova withdrawal was about the woman all eyes are upon in New York: How does this affect Serena Williams? And surprisingly, I think the answer is poorly. Sharapova was drawn into Serena’s half of the draw, meaning the two would have faced off in a potential semifinal. There would have been five potential stumbling blocks for each woman before getting to that potential match — small ones for Serena and bigger ones for Sharapova, as she was fighting this injury that had kept her from playing any hard-court this summer. Still, that was the showdown everybody wanted, and expected, to see. And all of that people eager to see it, Serena was at the head of the list.
Serena’s total and utter dominance over Sharapova has been well documented. The American lost to a then 17-year-old Sharapova in the 2004 Wimbledon final and then again in that season’s year-end WTA championships. Since then, however, the two have played 17 times and Serena has won them all.

Oooh When you nod your head yes But you wanna say no What do you mean? Heeey When you don’t want me to move But you tell me to go What do you mean? What do you mean? Said we’re running out of time What do you mean? Oh oh oh What do you mean? Better make up your mind What do you mean? You’re so indecisive of what I’m saying Trying to catch the beat, make up your heart. Don't know if you're happy, or complaining. Don’t want for us to end where do I start First you wanna go to the left and you want to turn right Wanna argue all day, making love all night. First you up and you’re down and then between Ohh I really want to know… What do you mean? When you nod your head yes But you wanna say no What do you mean? When you don't want me to move But you tell me to go What do you mean? What do you mean? Said we’re running out of time What do you mean? Better make up your mind What do you mean? You’re overprotective when I’m leaving Trying to compromise but I can’t win You wanna make a point but you keep preaching You had me from the start won’t let this end First you wanna go to the left then you want to turn right Wanna argue all day make love all night First you up and you’re down then you're between Ohh I really want to know… What do you mean?

Source:http://www.directlyrics.com/justin-bieber-what-do-you-mean-lyrics.html Kanye is known for his lengthy speeches – but he had not one, but TWO bombshells last night.The rapper is known for his lengthy speeches – but he had not one, but TWO bombshells tonight. Kanye West carried on his tradition of lengthy, informative and explosive speeches tonight at the MTV VMAs – with two massive bombshells. Firstly – he could be the future President. Second – he was apparently high as he took to the stage. Seriously The rapper gave a long, rambling apology for his stage intrusions in the past as he accepted the prestigious Video Vanguard Award, before gushing about his “art”, and finally admitting he’s running for President in 2020. We just don’t know how to deal with this information. It all began as the star slammed awards shows, ironically, while accepting an award – at an awards show. “I still don’t understand award shows,” he said on stage. “I don’t understand how they get five people who work their entire life to come, stand on a carpet, and for the first time in their life, stand up on a chopping block and be considered a loser. I don’t understand it, bro! I’ve been conflicted, bro! I just wanted people to like me more!” But it was followed with a much bigger bombshell, as Kanye openly admitted he had smoked a roll-up before he got up there – making the entire crowd burst into laughter. “I will die for the art, for what I believe in,” he added. “And the art ain’t always going to be polite! Ya’ll might be thinking, I wonder, ‘Did he smoke something before he came out?’ The answer is yes, I rolled up something. I knocked the edge off.”
Just to cement it in our minds exactly what he was hinting at, host Miley Cyrus then stepped back up and joked: “We all know what Kanye West can do when he smokes weed”. He ended by announcing: “I have decided to run for President”. Really. The rapper had only good things to say as he was presented with his award by former rival Taylor Swift – who couldn’t gush enough about her “friend”. Thanking her for the kind words, and after briefly kissing stunning wife Kim Kardashian, they swapped places and Taylor watched on from the crowd as Kanye spoke his mind. There was crying and a nip slip, so overall this years MTV Video Music Awards was sufficiently weird. Of course with Miley Cyrus hosting, we were expecting the show to be a bit odd, but after Kanye West's 13-minute-longVideo Vanguard Award acceptance speech that ended with the announcement that he wants to run for president in 2020, we're pretty certain that this was the weirdest yet. Lionel Messi added yet another trophy to his massive collection on Thursday as he was voted UEFA’s Best Player in Europe for a second time in his career. The Argentine had a sensational campaign last season, winning the treble with FC Barcelona and scoring 58 goals in 57 official matches. Those titles, along with the UEFA Super Cup win over Sevilla in August puts Messi on a par with Xavi Hernández and Andrés Iniesta for the most titles won at Barça. Each have won 25 trophies. The recent honour in Monaco adds to Messi’s ever-growing personal collection. Barça’s no.10 has won four Ballon d’Or titles, three European Golden Shoes, three Pichichis and on five occasions finished Champions League top scorer, among many other awards. On the international stage, Messi won the Under-20 World Cup in 2005, a gold medal in the 2008 Beijing Olympics as well as being runner-up in the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2015 Copa América.

What is the most correct sentence to complete this cliché we remember with the most minor health problem affecting our normal lives? There must be several answers in your head, let us tell you the specialists’ comments: What is necessary for health is healthy nutrition. It is enough to think about that to explain that: Our concerns about weights we are obsessed with preventing serious diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, a clear skin, bright hair, slowing down the effects of ageing, not being stressful, being in a good state of mind, clever children… Realizing all of them, enjoying life, for all of them the key word is healthy nutrition. But is the path to eating healthy and balanced food passes from prescriptions which say “don’t eat this, don’t eat that, stay hungry?” Of course no! Although fast and busy life does not give us the opportunity to choose the right food, it is enough to learn a few simple strategies. How many calories do we need in a day? How should balanced and healthy nutrition be? Which food fight with illnesses? The tips to stop our hunger? What should people fighting cardiovascular diseases or vegetarian should eat? How can we protect children from obesity? What should we do to lose weight? Specialists will answer all of these questions in these article series… The food we chose is completely related to enjoying our lives. This rule counts for everyone not matter young, old, male, female. The basis of a healthy body and soul is our choice of food. To be in the desired weight, too be protected from osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases and diabetes we should radically change our nutrition routines and norms. Prof. Dr. Metin Özata, Gata HaydarPaşa Training Hospital Endocrinology and Metabolism Diseases Service Chief told us about rules of healthy diet.
Why is healthy diet important? Over consumption of food or malnutrition pave the way for some illnesses. For instance; as a result of malnutrition many problems such as a decrease in body resistance, predisposition to infections, bone loss, tooth decay and nervous system diseases may be encountered. As a result, over-nutrition results in diseases such as obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure, cardiovascular illnesses, skeleton, joint and lung diseases.
What is the basis of healthy diet? It is preferring natural nutrition, choosing rough nutriments, refraining from canned food as much as possible and consuming from food type in sufficient amounts. Fabricated food is harmful because they are rich in preservatives. To live in a healthy way, we should eat less and get physically more active.
Which nutrients are necessary for the body? Every day, we should consume food which contains carbohydrates, fat, protein, vitamins and minerals. Bread, potatoes, rice, dried beans, pasta, fructose and candy are nutriments which contain carbohydrates. Carbohydrates which are used as blood sugar should make the 40-45 % of the daily nutrients. The fat which regulate body temperature and which enable the absorption of vitamins A, D, E, K should make 25-30% of the dairy calories. The proteins which can be found in animal products such as meat, milk and egg and legumes, walnuts, and almonds should make 10-15& of the daily calories. Vitamin and mineral sources are vegetables and fruits.
What are the practical amounts? There are four main groups of nutrition: meat, dairy, vegetable-fruit, and bread-cereal. First group consists of meat, fish, chicken, egg, legumes and types of cheese. If we eat three middle size meatballs or the same amount of meat, fish, chicken, 4-5 spoons of legumes, we will meet our needs of this category. Milk, yoghurt, yoghurt drink, cucumber-yoghurt are in the second category. It is enough to consume 2-3 portions. We should consume 5-6 portions of the third category which consists of fruits and vegetables. Bread, paste, bulgur, rice, soups, food made of flour, biscuits and flour make the forth group. Consuming 5-10 portions of this category meets our daily needs.
Which food should be limited? Sweet food, cola drink, fried food, sausages, canned food and alcoholic beverage.
How should our fat choice be? The fat in butter, tail fat, cheese, milk, cream, ice-cream, clotted cream of milk, egg and read meat are the harmful ones. This kind of fat which is called saturated fat leads to coronary heart disease by leading to a rise in cholesterol. We call oils unsaturated fat. There are olive oil, cotton oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, sesame oil, fish oil, walnut oil and soy oil in this group which is healthier. However the most harmful of all are margarines which contain trans fatty acids.
Why? Margarines are obtained by changing the oils to solid fat under very high temperature with hydrogen. That changes the molecules of the oil and changes its effect on the body. The risk of heart attack increases 50% with people who consume margarines which are not natural oils. Unfortunately these fats are plenty refined food such as in cookies, wafers, cakes, chips. If a nutrient is said to contain hydrogenised vegetable oil, this nutrient contains trans oil
What can we do to reduce the fat? We should choose to cook the food on grill, oven or microwave; we should refrain from fried food. It is important to prefer light or zero fat milk instead of whole milk. Refraining from using fresh cream or mayonnaise the consumption of the egg yolk is among the precautions to be taken. Water in small swallows for hunger attacks Do you find yourself snacking candy, chocolate or something sweet? Or can’t you refrain from eating snacks in front of the television after the dinner? According to Prof. Dr. Metin Özata, snacking crisis which lead to obesity is common mostly among people who do not have a balanced die, who do not have breakfast and who do not eat regularly and properly. Here are Özata’s recommendations which prevent snacking:
converted into serotonin in the brain.
The amount of the food in a portion Group 3: fruits
Absence of food groups: Unbalanced One repast balanced diet examples:
Which bread should we eat?
What should our bread choice be? Breads made of whole wheat flour should be consumed because there are zinc, iodine, vitamin E, omega-3 and omega-6 oil acid, calcium, vitamin D, protein and zero carbohydrates in that bread. The people who consume that type of bread encounter diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular diseases and cancer less. It also prevents constipation because it is a nutriment rich in bagasse.
