KFC Comes Up With Vegan Fried Chicken It Tastes Just As Good

This is the day we’ve all been waiting for (and some of you probably feared) meaty fast foods are going vegan! Well, not entirely and just as a trial in one of the KFC restaurants, but still. Is this the next stage of the ‘meatless meat’ era that’s been unfolding for the last decade? I believe it is! And just imagine the positive impact on the environment as more and more fast food chains go vegan, using healthy substitutes for meat and dairy. It’s like a dream come true! McDonald’s and Burger King have already introduced vegan burgers in some of their outlets, boasting successful trials and great popularity of the new healthy meals. It was only a matter of time that KFC would launch its very own meatless meal to appeal to even more

customers, especially those who are interested in eating less meat.

Galifianakis regrets asking Obama ‘Between Two Ferns’

Thepowernews.com Reporter : “Between Two Ferns: The Movie” on Netflix (streaming now) presents a star-studded probable finale to the viral internet reign of the absurdist Funny or Die show of the same name, sending host Zach Galifianakis and his parody public-access series on a road trip. But before the series, which began more than 10 years and 20 episodes ago, takes its signature plants out of the spotlight, we asked for some dirt.  Galifianakis and the film’s director, Scott Aukerman, took USA TODAY behind the ferns for some insider tidbits about the series, from jokes that barely survived, stars that almost were on the show and a back story on the show’s problematic theme song.

Though Galifianakis plays a contemptuous interviewer unafraid to ask celebrities inappropriate questions in “Ferns,” in real life the comedian refused certain jokes. That is, until Aukerman convinced him otherwise.

For example, Galifianakis balked at asking Natalie Portman: “You shaved your head in ‘V for Vendetta,’ did you also shave your V for vagina?” 

“I thought that that question was too much. I actually asked them to edit that out,”  Galifianakis says.  After that interview, the “Ferns” co-creators developed a “good cop/bad cop” dynamic, as Aukerman puts it. “He reads the paper and goes, ‘Oh, I’m not going to say this,’ and then looks to me,” and Aukerman will adamantly insist Galifianakis ask the question.

Russians canceled 60% of hotel bookings in Georgia

According to the founder and head of the Georgian Hotel and Restaurant Federation Shalva Alaverdashvili, the ban on direct air communication between Russia and Georgia had a tangible effect on the republic’s Black Sea resorts, where 80% of hotel bookings were already cancelled by Russian tourists.

“Sea resorts received the hardest blow: the share of cancelled bookings by Russian tourists reached 80%, the Adjara tourism administration reported. It should be noted that the situation is unfavorable in the rest of Georgia as well. We may say that in total Russians canceled up to 60% of hotel bookings across the country,” Alaverdashvili said. Mostly premium-class Russian tourists did not abolish their trips to Georgia, he specified.

According to the Georgian National Tourism Administration, the probable loss for the country’s economy from reducing the tourism flow from Russia will stand at about $710 million. On June 21, Russian President Putin issued the order banning all Russian airlines from carrying out air flights (including commercial ones) from the territory of the Russian Federation to Georgia. This order came into force on July 8. On the same day the decision of the Russian Transport Ministry as of June 22 about the suspension of Georgian air companies’ flights to Russia also came into force.

Parents have an important message after ‘beautiful, vibrant

At 18, Sara Stelzer was in the prime of her life — a college freshman excited for her classes and being part of a sorority at San Diego State University — when she suddenly became very ill. She called her parents on a Sunday night in the fall of 2014 to tell them she had a headache. By Monday morning, it seemed like Sara had the flu. Her parents told her to pick up some Theraflu and get some rest.

But then things suddenly took a turn for the worse. Sara’s father Greg got a text from one of her friends, saying that his daughter was in the emergency room. Greg and Sara’s mom, Laurie, immediately drove to the hospital. “Every bit of information that we got along that ride was worse than the last piece of information,” Laurie tells Yahoo Lifestyle. The parents tried to reassure themselves by focusing on the fact that Sara was a healthy teenager who had never been seriously sick before. “They’ll save her and she’ll be fine,” Greg recalls thinking.

By the time Sara’s parents arrived at the hospital, their daughter was in a coma in the intensive care unit (ICU). The neurosurgeon told them that they weren’t seeing any brain activity and that they believed she had bacterial meningitis. “We just didn’t know anything about bacterial meningitis,” says Laurie. “We didn’t know to even ask about those symptoms.” Sara’s parents would soon learn that bacterial meningitis moves swiftly and can be life threatening if not treated immediately. In Sara’s case, it was too late to save her life. After losing their youngest child, whom Laurie describes as “tall, beautiful, vibrant — really a ray of sunshine,” she says: “It was a very hard hole to come out of.”

“ray of sunshine.”

Although Sara had previously received the meningitis vaccine, it was only for the “A, C, W and Y strain — not for the B strain,” notes Laurie. “They came out with the meningitis B vaccine shortly after she passed away.”

Laurie shares that because the meningitis B vaccine isn’t mandated, many teens and young adults are unknowingly unprotected against the dangerous disease.

According to the National Meningitis Association (NMA), teens should ideally ask for the meningitis B vaccine at their 16-year doctor’s visit. In fact, one of the most at-risk groups are teens and young adults ages 16 to 23, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and people who live in crowded settings such as college dorms. The NMA also suggests that teens get the second dose of the meningitis ACWY vaccine at the 16-year visit and get both shots at the same time in order to simplify the process.

There is also a second dose of the meningitis B vaccine. “The timing of the second dose varies slightly depending on which brand of B vaccine a patient’s healthcare provider uses, so patients should follow the direction of their healthcare provider,” according to the NMA.

To honor Sara’s memory and to spare other parents the pain of suddenly losing a child to the disease, Laurie and Greg have been dedicating themselves to raising awareness of meningitis B — including teaching the signs and symptoms to look out for — and the importance of getting teens vaccinated.

Meningitis B outbreaks occurred on 20 different U.S. college campuses from March 2013 to November 2017, according to the NMA. Some schools are starting to take action. Starting in the fall of 2019, San Diego State University will require that students 23 years old and younger be vaccinated against meningitis B before starting college. “We hope that eventually all schools require all incoming freshman to be vaccinated,” says Greg.

The father also has a message for teens and young adults: “For all the young students out there, our daughter was just like you…was healthy, was in the prime of her life,” Greg says. “And in a matter of a few days, she died from bacterial meningitis. I encourage all those students, for her sake, to get vaccinated.”
