Black bear captured after shutting down Disney World rides
An apparently hungry black bear forced a brief shutdown of some attractions at Disney World's Magic Kingdom in Florida until it was captured, officials said. Local television station Fox 35 said more than a dozen popular rides at the Orlando theme park were closed after the bear was sighted in a tree, including the "Haunted Mansion" and "Pirates of the Caribbean." "During the fall, bears are more active as they search for food to pack on fat reserves for the winter," Lisa Thompson, a spokeswoman for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, said in a statement. "This particular bear was likely moving through the area searching for food." Thompson said that "in most cases, it is best for bears to be given space and to move along on their own. "But given this situation, staff have captured the animal and are relocating the bear out of the park to an area in or around the Ocala National Forest." Walt Disney World is one of the largest tourist attractions in the world, drawing tens of millions of visitors each year.

Chinese zoo denies rare sun bear is human in disguise
A Chinese zoo has been forced to deny that its sun bear is actually a human in a costume, after footage of one standing on its hind legs raised online accusations of a furry imposter. A video clip of a bear rearing up and interacting with a group of people at a zoo in eastern Hangzhou city went viral on Chinese social media. Many users posted comments doubting that the bear was real, with some alleging that its bipedal posture and wrinkled skin suggested that it was actually a human in costume. But the zoo dismissed the rumors, saying in a statement written from the bear's perspective on Sunday that the animal was real and its detractors "really don't understand me". "The zoo director called me after work yesterday and asked if I'd been slacking off by finding a two-legged beast to replace me," the bear, named Angela, said in the statement. "Some people thought the way I stand up looks too human... so I will stress again: I'm a sun bear!" Native to Southeast Asia, sun bears are named for a patch of bright orange or cream-colored chest fur that stands out against the rest of its jet-black coat. It is the smallest bear -- about the size of a large dog -- and is listed as a vulnerable species due to deforestation and the global wildlife trade. Other Chinese zoos have previously been accused of stocking their enclosures with animals that are not what they seem -- including a hairy dog passed off as an "African lion" and a pool filled with penguin-shaped balloons.

You ask, I answer
Here we go. It’s time to have that one-on-one with you. This is a personal sharing based on my knowledge and experience on topics covering beauty and wellness. Question (Q): Why did I suddenly gain weight? I am 50 years old and feeling bloated. Answer (A): It might have everything to do with your hormones. As one approaches perimenopausal and/or menopausal age, the usual tendency is to feel the following symptoms: Weight Gain [caption id="attachment_134189" align="aligncenter" width="525"] photograph courtesy of unsplash/siora photography | WOMEN approaching menopausal age tend to feel they gain weight.[/caption] Mood Swings Headaches Hot Flashes Trouble Sleeping Changes in Sexual Drive Vaginal Dryness Erratic Menstrual Flow This Period May Last Two To 10 Years Due to The Changing Levels of Your Hormones Like Estrogen Testosterone Progesterone Thyroid Cortisol May I suggest you see your obstetrician/gynecologist who will recommend an endocrinologist. Based on the results of your blood test, you will be given the option to undergo hormone replacement such as HRT (hormone replacement therapy) or BHRT (bioidentical hormone replacement therapy/plant-based) Q: What is the easiest way to achieve good complexion at any age? A: Great skin is founded on good health. You have everything to gain from eating right and following the basic tenets of wellness which bear repeating. Whole foods and produce, especially leafy greens Vegetable juicing daily [caption id="attachment_134190" align="aligncenter" width="525"] photograph courtesy of unsplash/maddi bazzocco | DRINK vegetable juice for glowing skin.[/caption] Good sleep Hydration [caption id="attachment_134191" align="aligncenter" width="525"] photograph courtesy of pexels/arnie Watkins | KEEP your body hydrated.[/caption] Exercise Stress Management No junk food Vitamin/mineral supplementation Q: How can I have a smaller waistline? A: Eat less carbohydrates. Limit your sugar intake. Eat more veggies. Eat less animal meat (especially beef and pork). Cut down on fast-food. Choose water over carbonated drinks. Exercise. Burn those calories. Have your meals at regular hours. Erratic eating habits can cause weight gain. Do not go on a starvation diet. It can lead to future health problems. Q: I crave different kinds of food at different times. For example, one day it’s peanuts; the next day, it’s ice cream. Why is that? A: Cravings they say is an indication that your body “needs” a certain vitamin or mineral. This is partly true. But did you know that cravings can be emotionally triggered? Your state of mind plays a very important part in all of this. So does your diet and emotional state. There is a need for some self-observation and examination. It’s okay to give in to a craving but don’t go overboard. Remember, moderation is key. This topic deserves more discussion, so we will go back to this more extensively in the near future. The important thing to remember is that having a craving is not such a bad thing. You may give in to it in moderation. Q: I am too lazy to exercise but I know it is necessary. Any suggestions on how to begin? A: Thank you for your honesty. Yes, admittedly we all fall into that lazy phase. That’s okay. But don’t let it become a habit. The best way to get started is to have an exercise buddy. This will give you the motivation to stick to it. Start small. Perhaps you can join a walking group. Walking is one of the most effective forms of exercise. And it is the cheapest. Walk 30 to 45 minutes each day. Joining a gym is lots of fun. The group energy of your class can be contagious. Besides, this gives you the opportunity to make new friends and expand your circle. Be with like-minded individuals. Obviously, you cannot seriously focus on your health goals if you are constantly with the party crowd. Affirmation: “Success is my middle name.” Love and light.
