Tennis Player Serena Williams Weds Reddit Founder, Alexis Ohanian

American Professional tennis player, Serena Williams has finally wedded in a grand, fairytale ceremony on Thursday, November 16, at the Contemporary Arts Center of New Orleans.

The white wedding ceremony was inspired by the Beauty and the Beast, with the yellow motif and roses. Serena's dress drew on classic Disney styles, with a princess gown, topped off with a lace cape.

It's been 11 weeks since the new couple gave birth to their first child, Alexis Olympia Ohanian Jr. (two-month-old)

Quests include close family members and of course, celebrities; Beyonce, Kim Kardashian, Kelly Rowland, LaLa Anthony and Ciara were all in attendance at the wedding.

The Proposal

Serena Williams and husband, Alexis Ohanian met 18 months ago by chance at a cafe in Rome and just as expected, their love story has to be sealed up with a marriage proposal. 

Speaking in an interview with Vogue, the new bride shared the story:

'I came home one day to find my bags already packed for me, and I had absolutely no idea where I was going until I got on the flight,

Alexis flew me out to Rome, back to the exact table where we'd met. We were both really nervous but also excited to take this huge step. It was such a beautiful moment.' 

A post shared by Serena Williams (@serenawilliams) on Nov 17, 2017 at 5:27pm PST

The couple wrote their own vows for the ceremony and Alexis called Serena his queen with promises of a lifetime together as a family.

''You are the greatest of all time, not just in sport,' he said. 'I'm talking about as a mother and as a wife. I am so excited to write so many more chapters of our fairy tale together," he said.
"And my whole life I didn't even realize it, but I was waiting for this moment. And everything that I have done, everything that I am so proud of in my career, and in my life, for the last 34 years, pales in comparison to what we're doing today.

'And I am so grateful, and I am so in love.'

The museum was decorated with flowers, plus Chandeliers encased in gold birdcages, trophy-style place cards, and the 'black lamé' table linens achieved this goal.

The band played 'Be Our Guest' from Beauty and the Beast as the guests were led into the dining area. But before the guests ate, Serena changed into a second dress; one made by Versace, and afterwards Mr and Mrs Ohanian danced to Tale As Old As Time.

Ostrich Egg: 9 Amazing Facts About The World's Largest Cell

Ostrich is known as the largest, flightless bird with long legs and a long neck that protrudes from a round massive body.

According to the African Wildlife Foundation, the Ostrich can grow up to 9 feet (2.7 meters) tall and can weigh up to 320 lbs. (145 kilograms), thus it's not surprising for a bird that large to lay the world's largest egg. 

9 Facts about the world's Largest Egg

1. One egg of an Ostrich is equivalent to 20-24 chicken eggs, thus one person is unlikely to finish one Ostrich egg.

2. Ostrich eggs are 6 inches (15 cm) in diameter and can weigh up to 3 lbs. (1.3 kg)

3. The eggs are laid in a communal nest called a dump nest, which can hold about 60 eggs at a time.

4. After laying the eggs, both males and the females Ostriches sit on the eggs until they hatch, which can take 42 to 46 days.

5. The colour of an Ostrich egg ranges from pearl white to cream with a thickness of 0.06 inches - quite strong. In other words, the shell of the Ostrich egg is strong enough to bear the weight of an adult man. Although the size is small compared to the size or weight of the bird itself.

Ostrich egg as food

6. In a popular London restaurants like that of bar Florentine in Lambeth, Ostrich egg is served as part of a huge full English breakfast for £65 – feeding four to six people.

7. Unfortunately for those of you on diet, one Ostrich egg contains up to 2,000 calories and 144g of protein, which adds up to almost three times the daily adult protein intake recommended by the NHS.

8. It takes the largest set of frying pan to fry one Ostrich egg and it also takes 2 hours took thoroughly boil one of it.

Nutritional Value

9. The nutritional content of the Ostrich egg includes calcium, phosphorus and vitamins like Vitamin A, vitamin E, riboflavin and thiamine - as well as trace elements such as magnesium, manganese, selenium, zinc copper and iron.

Besides the eggs laid by extinct species like the elephant birds of Madagascar and the giant moa of New Zealand which were much larger, the ostrich egg is currently the world's largest.

Vitamin D And Its Potential Powers At Midlife

The most natural way of getting Vitamin D is via reduced exposure to sunlight, that is why it is regarded as the sunshine vitamin.

At midlife (from 40 and above) it is important to be aware of your intake of vitamin D - both natural and supplements since research has portrayed its potential roles in the prevention of diseases attached to old age.
Vitamin D is important since it's main function is to regulate the amount of calcium and phosphate in the body, which are vital for the growth and maintenance of healthy bones, teeth and muscles. 
Therefore here are potential powers of Vitamin D.

Vitamin D and certain Cancer 

Several studies have shown that vitamin D not only reducing the risk of 30 types of cancer - especially colon, prostate and chest cancers - but it also reduces malignant growth in cancers already present.

Vitamin D and Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a condition of fragile bone with an increased susceptibility to fracture and the risk is high in women over 40 years of age. Vitamin D is critical for your body to be able to use calcium and build bone properly, thus women who are over 40 or who have risk factors for osteoporosis should be sure to get adequate amounts of vitamin D.

 Vitamin D and Depression

Depression is a common health problem at midlife especially in the menopause years of a woman. Therefore, it is advised that you should be on guard over seasonal mood swings, thus you might want to boost your vitamin D intake during those darker months.
Even science has revealed that when people are exposed to sunlight, their mood automatically elevates and they become more cheerful due to the brain hormone serotonin.

Vitamin D and Diabetes

Studies have shown that a low level of vitamin D results in a decrease in the release of insulin in the body, insulin resistance, and type 2 diabetes.

Therefore, not only does vitamin D make your body’s use of insulin more effective, it seems to prevent or minimise both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Although studies are yet to show the relationship between low vitamin D levels and diabetes.

Other potential powers of Vitamin D 

• Prevents Cardiovascular disease
• Reduces risk of Obesity
• Irritable bowel syndrome, 
• Prevents muscle weakness, 
• Prevents multiple sclerosis, 
• Prevents Osteoarthritis,
• Celiac disease etc.

Studies have shown that adequate levels of vitamin D in the body inhibit inflammation

According to Dr Mercola, "you should strive to optimise your vitamin D levels via sun exposure, supplements and food, to maintain a healthy blood level of 40-60 ng/ml year round.

Food Sources of Vitamin D

• Beef liver
• Salmon
• Egg yolks
• Sardines
• Cheese
• Fortified milk, orange juice, cereal and yoghurt

Deficiency of Vitamin D

Extreme cases of a low level of vitamin D in children can lead to rickets - the bones become soft and weak and misshapen as they continue to grow.

In adults, vitamin D deficiency can lead to osteomalacia — causing severe bone pain and muscle aches. 

Symptoms of lack of Vitamin D

The symptoms in adults include:

• Tiredness aches and pains, and a general sense of not feeling well;
• Severe bone or muscle pain or weakness that may cause difficulty climbing stairs or getting up from the floor or a low chair, or cause you to walk with a waddling gait;
• Stress fractures, especially in your legs, pelvis, and hips.

How much Vitamin D is required

The amount needed in the body depends on few factors such as:

•  Body weight - People with higher body weight or muscle mass also require more vitamin D than people with slighter stature because vitamin D is fat soluble.
• Age - since older adults are more inclined to stay indoors, they get less sun exposure and people over the age of 50 don't produce vitamin D as easily by metabolising sunlight, and their kidneys don't convert vitamin D into a form their body can use quite as quickly.
• Skin colour - people with darker skin colour need 10 times more sun exposure to generate the same amount as in someone with pale skin. Thus the more pigment you have, the more sunlight you need to get adequate "D" levels.

The Institute of Medicine (IOM) recommends 20 nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml) of serum concentration of 25-hydroxy vitamin D as an adequate level, or 600 IUs a day for individuals up to age 70 and 800 IUs if for people over 70.

Experts recommend Vitamin D3 supplement for those who can't get enough sunshine.

NOTE: Certain people should not take calcium (vitamin D) supplements especially those with a history of kidney stones. Such people are advised to talk to their doctor before taking any supplements.

Women are regularly mentioned because history has shown that their bones degrade faster than their male counterparts.

The reason is, when a woman reaches menopause, the loss of bone density accelerates rapidly - up to 20% in just seven years.

There should be a balanced level of vitamin D in your because too much of it can lead to high levels of calcium in the blood which can cause heart and kidney problems.

Modern Day Slavery: From Sales Girl To A Housemaid

A young girl shared a story of how she suddenly became a housemaid beyond the work description she applied for just to make ends meet.

Though she escaped the bondage, but not without leaving a chaotic situation behind and she wants to know if she was wrong to do what she did.

Here's Her story:

"I remember vividly how I got into that house not as a housemaid but as a salesgirl in her shop.

"Some women! I was indeed desperate for a work because I was in a strange land staying with my best friend just to hustle for myself and family. She never told me I would go from shop to her house for any reason.

"Just in two weeks, she started sending me to the market, after, I will come and cook in her house, feed her four children, her first daughter was then14 years. It became a daily routine.

"I was eventually turned into a house girl, I would sweep and mop every two two days, cook and wash dishes and clothes. I never knew I would be that submissive anyways.

"What got me angry was when she started giving me her husband's boxers to wash as if that wasn't enough, she started keeping her panties and bras for me to wash...after the chores, I will go back to the shop.

"As a Sabbatarian she is, I don't come to work on Saturdays and Sundays. When I come on Monday, you can't believe it, all the clothes and undies they all wore the past days will be waiting for me.

"I tried telling her that women don't leave their undies like that, they wash it during bath immediately.. she hissed and left. It was the children that told me that it has been their father keeping the house neat all those while, she uses her shop to get housemaids.

"She even fought with her last housemaid because the girl refused washing her undies...

"One Monday I washed everything but I kept both her undies and her husband's boxers aside for her.. she got angry and started shouting, she took the bucket of water nearby and poured on me when I tried replying her, just then, her husband came back suddenly, I was surprised as he pounds on her.

"That was the first day he ever touched her, he threw her things away...I couldn't stand the whole drama and ran out of the house. No one was able to settle them as I heard.

Did I do wrong to have refused washing those things? I'm I really the cause of the divorce?

Modern day slavery is described as when someone doesn't have a choice, has no freedom, and doesn't get paid or paid very little. For instance:

• Bonded Labour
• Trafficking
• Forced child labour 

About 29.8 million people are in slavery in the world today. Stop modern day slavery!

Makeup Video: How To Prepare For Unwanted Date With A Guy

This makeup tutorial teaches girls what to do when they don't want to go out on a date with a guy who's been bothering them.

In the video, Fay Nelson says if you don't want anything - whatsoever, to do with him and he keeps bugging you, then you must give him the shock of his life with this outrageous haggard facial makeup. According to her, your facial makeup should be as scary as possible so as to make sure the guy doesn't ever come back again.

In the video themed 'What to do when you don't want to go on a date with a guy who keeps bothering you' Fay Nelson said:

"Girls this is what you'll do when you don't want a date with a guy who's been bothering you.

"When you don't want anything to do with him and he keeps bothering you, just tell him yes we will go on a date. But the preparation for the date is what you need to put more time into like the one am doing here. 

"Just make yourself some natural eyeglasses to make sure that when this guy sees you - this guy whom you want to stop bothering you - that when he sees you, he will run for his life."

"He will run until he probably falls over. Just make sure he doesn't want anything to do with you anymore (with your haggard looking facial makeup).
