The 10 Best Sports Bras for Large Breasts

Posted on 25/08/2018 by vrapto25/08/2018

Unfortunately, the bounce factor for bustier women can be an exercise deterrent. Who wants to go for a run or knock out burpees when every hop, skip, and jump leads to pure pain? In fact, we're pretty sure we all have that friend who's had to double up on support. What’s more, a larger-breasted woman in the wrong bra can have serious health implications.

“If a sports bra has not been specifically designed and built to carry the weight of larger, heavier breasts, the bra straps may be too narrow and exert extra pressure on your shoulders,” explains LaJean Lawson, PhD, a sports bra researcher at Oregon State University and consultant to the sports bra industry. “If the amount and location of the pressure crosses over an area in the shoulders where nerves and blood vessels exit into the upper arms, a medical condition known as thoracic outlet syndrome can result.” Symptoms of TOS include numbness or tingling in the arms or hands, pain in the neck, shoulder, or hands, and even a weaker grip.)

So what do the well-endowed need to look for when shopping for a sports bra? Lawson says, there are three key things:

1. Look for minimal (controlled) stretch throughout the bra in areas like the cups, straps, and band.
2. Forgo the traditional sports bra, which has a single flat panel across the front, and opt for one with two separate cups that will control each breast instead.
3. Choose athletic supporters with more coverage such as a higher neckline, wider straps, and a substantial bottom band.

News24.com | Three killed in shootout after Mpumalanga business robbery

Posted on 25/08/2018 by vrapto25/08/2018

Police thwarted a business robbery and killed three suspects during a shootout and high speed chase near Middelburg, Mpumalanga in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Crime intelligence were following up on information about plans to break into and rob business premises in Mhluzi, when they encountered a group already in progress.

“On arrival at the place, the team discovered that a safe inside one of the premises had already been blown up,” said police spokesperson Colonel Brenda Muridili.

Read: Suspect killed, police officer wounded in Durban shootout

“The suspects then allegedly started shooting their way out of the situation. The police returned fire but the suspects fled the scene with undisclosed amounts of money in three vehicles.

“A high speed chase and exchange of fire with the suspects, while police were in pursuit of the vehicles, resulted in two of the suspects’ vehicles coming to a halt – one as a result of all three occupants being fatally wounded during the shootout and the driver of the other vehicle lost control.”

Muridili said four suspects then fled on foot but police chased after the suspects with the support of the SAPS K9 Unit and managed to arrest one.

A manhunt has been launched for the other three men while the arrested suspect is currently being linked to other serious and violent crimes.

Police recovered three unlicensed firearms as well as two vehicles.

News24.com | Tutu pays tribute to ‘outstanding’ late UN chief Annan

Posted on 25/08/2018 by vrapto25/08/2018

Former United Nations secretary general Kofi Annan will receive a state funeral and burial in Ghana on September 13, the Ghanaian president said on Friday, calling it “a major event for our country”.

The announcement was made by President Nana Akufo-Addo following a meeting with Annan’s family in the capital Accra.

Annan, a Ghanaian national and Nobel peace laureate, died on August 8 at the age of 80 after a short illness.

“Kofi Annan was one of the most illustrious people of this generation. He was like an elderly brother,” Akufo-Addo said.

“It’s going to be a major event for our country… I expect many leaders to be present,” he said, adding that Annan will be buried in Accra’s new military cemetery.

Born in Kumasi, the capital city of Ghana’s Ashanti region, Annan devoted four decades of his working life to the UN and was the first chief from sub-Saharan Africa.

A career diplomat, he projected quiet charisma and was widely credited for raising the world body’s profile in global politics during his two terms as head of the UN from 1997 to 2006.

Following Annan’s death in Switzerland, where he lived not far from the UN European headquarters in Geneva, Akufo-Addo announced a week of mourning for “one of our greatest compatriots”.

Annan was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2001, as the world was reeling from the September 11 attacks in the United States, jointly with the UN “for their work for a better organised and more peaceful world”.

Another Nobel laureate, retired South African archbishop Desmond Tutu, described Annan as “an outstanding human being who represented our continent and the world with enormous graciousness, integrity and distinction”.

‘Humanity’s best example’

The first chief to rise from within the organisation’s ranks, Annan left the post as one of the most popular UN leaders ever, and was considered a “diplomatic rock star” in international diplomatic circles.

After ending his second term as chief, he kept up his diplomatic work, taking high-profile mediation roles in Kenya and in Syria, and more recently leading an advisory commission in Myanmar on the crisis in Rakhine state.

He enjoyed some success in ending post-election turmoil in Kenya in 2007, and the two main players in that crisis, former president Mwai Kibaki and his opposition rival Raila Odinga celebrated his efforts this week.

Annan’s death was met with an outpouring of tributes from world leaders.

Russian President Vladimir Putin hailed his “wisdom and courage”, while German Chancellor Angela Merkel celebrated the “exceptional statesman in the service of the global community”.

Former US president Barack Obama said Annan “embodied the mission of the United Nations like few others”.

Current UN chief Antonio Guterres described his predecessor as “a guiding force for good”. “In many ways, Kofi Annan was the United Nations,” he said.

The UN high commissioner for human rights Zeid Ra’ad Al Hussein described him as a “friend to thousands and a leader of millions”.

“Kofi was humanity’s best example, the epitome of human decency and grace. In a world now filled with leaders who are anything but that, our loss, the world’s loss becomes even more painful.”

Sport24.co.za | Springboks brace for Pumas backlash in Mendoza

Posted on 25/08/2018 by vrapto25/08/2018

Cape Town – The Springboks are bracing themselves for a fierce onslaught from Argentina when the two sides meet on Saturday in Mendoza in the second round of the Rugby Championship.

Siya Kolisi and his Springbok team delivered a powerful performance to defeat the Pumas last week in Durban and the Bok skipper has cautioned his side to expect a fierce backlash from the home side.

Kolisi said on Friday that he is happy with the week’s preparations in Argentina.

“We are in a good place, training has gone well and we are looking forward to the big battle tomorrow,” according to Kolisi.

“Last week was a good start for us but there are obviously a lot of things we can improve on. I must say that our preparations have gone really well here in Argentina.

“We travelled well after spending an extra day in South Africa, which helped with our recovery.”

Kolisi said that the Springboks will be looking to deliver another big physical performance against the home side’s powerful pack of forwards.

“We’ve always been known for our physicality (in the past) and it is something which we want to bring back. Last week was a good start and we want to be better this week in that regard,” explained Kolisi.

Last week several forwards in the South African pack played together for the first time this year, and with just one change in the starting line-up for the Pumas rematch, Kolisi is looking forward to the pack getting more playing time together.

“The more time we spend together, the better we will get and hopefully this weekend we will improve on what we started last week in Durban,” said Kolisi.

The Springbok skipper warned that the Pumas will be a different side on their home turf.

“I don’t know how they manage to do it, but they are just a completely other side when they play at home in front of their passionate supporters,” said the Boks skipper.

As an opponent you have to know how desperate they are to win at home, so that will be our challenge tomorrow.”

Kick-off is at 21:10 (SA time).

Teams:

15 Emiliano Boffelli, 14 Bautista Delguy, 13 Matias Moroni, 12 Bautista Ezcurra, 11 Ramiro Moyano, 10 Nicolas Sanchez, 9 Gonzalo Bertranou, 8 Javier Ortega Desio, 7 Marcos Kremer, 6 Pablo Matera, 5 Tomas Lavanini, 4 Guido Petti, 3 Juan Figallo, 2 Agustin Creevy (captain), 1 Nahuel Tetaz Chaparro.

Health24.com | A truly astonishing number of women never have morning sex

Posted on 25/08/2018 by vrapto25/08/2018

In my opinion there are two types of morning people: Those who are all “no talkie before coffee” and those who are ready to go at the crack of dawn. I fall into the former and, therefore, getting hot and heavy in the am isn’t exactly the first thing on my radar when I wake up.

Well, apparently I’m not the only one, because more than 63% of women never have morning sex, according to a recent survey by Mattress Advisor. (Yeah, like, ever.)

Of the nearly 1 000 people surveyed, 56% were female and 43% male with an average age of 36. All participants were in a relationship and living with their partner.

They were asked about their morning sex frequency, and then separated into two groups based on their answers: Those who reported having morning sex (even rarely), and those who reported never having morning sex (63% of women, and 37% of men).

Also interesting? Participants who identified as straight had morning sex less frequently per month compared to those who identified as bisexual or gay.

Among the women who skipped their morning session, 50.7% said it was because they were “not in the mood”. While 35.6% of women reported they didn’t have enough time, 34.2% said they didn’t like morning sex, and 32.9% didn’t have enough energy.

In that same group, 51% of men said they’d like to have regular morning sex, while only 20% of women said the same.

Participants said morning sex took them about 26 minutes, on average.

That’s honestly a shame, because of the 37% of women who were all about that morning sex session, more than 45% said it boosts their daily productivity. Fifty-three percent of men in the survey reported the same.

In fact, on average, those women would even sacrifice 31 minutes of sleep for morning action, while men were willing to fork over 42 minutes.

Among the morning sex group, more men reported it as being a regular part of their agenda than women (4.2 times a week vs. 3.1). Of course, even in this group, time was also a big factor – participants noted morning sex took them about 26 minutes on average – so the majority of respondents said Saturday and Sunday were their prime days for getting busy with the sunrise.

And among all participants, those who said they were satisfied with their relationship reported having more morning sex than those who said they were dissatisfied. Of course, there’s no saying which came first, the happiness or the morning sex – but it’s interesting food for thought, nevertheless.

So could kicking off your day with sex be the answer to productivity and joy? Perhaps, but it really all comes personal preference. I mean, a solid day planner has a way of making a girl feel productive too, am I right?
