CAUSED BY THE bacterium Listeria monocytogenes, listeriosis is an infection transmitted by contaminated food. According to the CDC, about 2,500 people become seriously ill with listeriosis each year and 500 die.1 Most at risk are pregnant women, neonates, older adults, and adults with weakened immune systems such as patients being treated with chemotherapy, radiation, or immunosuppressive drugs, and those with AIDS.
L. monocytogenes is commonly found in soil and water. Animals carry the bacterium without becoming ill and can contaminate meats and dairy products. Vegetables can become contaminated from the soil or manure used as fertilizer.
Foods most often implicated in listeriosis are unwashed raw vegetables, seafood, dairy products (especially soft cheeses, such as Brie and feta, and unpasteurized milk), raw and cooked poultry, raw and smoked fish, raw meats, and ready-to-eat meats such as deli meats and hot dogs. The bacterium is usually killed by pasteurization or cooking, but contamination can happen between cooking and packaging. L. monocytogenes can grow at temperatures as low as 37[degrees] F (3[degrees] C), so it can continue to thrive even during refrigeration.2
Because it can be fatal, listeriosis is on the national list of notifiable diseases. Report any cases to your local health department.
The incubation period for L. monocytogenes ranges from a few days to 3 weeks.2 Typically, an otherwise healthy person experiences fever, myalgia, nausea, and diarrhea. In some cases, L. monocytogenes invades the meninges, causing meningitis; signs and symptoms include headache, confusion, stiff neck, vertigo, and seizures.1
If the bacterium crosses the transplacental barrier, it may cause preterm delivery, spontaneous abortion, or stillbirth. An infected neonate may develop meningitis and bacteremia.
A listeriosis diagnosis is confirmed by blood culture. Antibiotic therapy with ampicillin and an aminoglycoside such as gentamicin is the treatment of choice.3 Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (Septra) is an alternative for patients who are allergic to ampicillin.
Listeriosis can be prevented by following simple but effective food preparation and consumption guidelines. Teach all your patients these safety tips.
* Thoroughly cook food to a safe temperature (160[degrees] F [71[degrees] C] for ground beef and pork; 165[degrees] F [74[degrees] C] for poultry). Use a food thermometer to be safe.
* Wash raw vegetables thoroughly before eating.
* Keep raw meat, fish, and poultry and their juices away from fruits, vegetables, cooked foods, and ready-to-eat foods.
* Use a different cutting board and knife when cutting meats and preparing raw fruits and vegetables.
* Thoroughly cleanse hands, knives, and cutting boards after handling uncooked foods.
* Wash countertops with hot soapy water and clean up spills-especially juices from hot dog packages or raw meat or poultry-right away.
* Eat precooked and ready-to-eat foods as soon as you can.4
High-risk patients, such as pregnant women and those with compromised immune systems, need to be even more careful when preparing and eating foods. In addition to the list above, teach them to:
* avoid eating deli meats and hot dogs unless reheated until steaming hot
* avoid unpasteurized milk and soft cheeses such as feta, Brie, Camembert, blue-veined cheeses, and Mexican cheeses unless the packaging clearly states, "made with pasteurized milk"
* avoid refrigerated meat spreads, pates, and refrigerated smoked seafood (salmon, trout, whitefish, cod, tuna, or mackerel); canned tuna and salmon are okay but should be refrigerated after opening
* avoid eating store-made salads such as egg, ham, chicken, tuna, or seafood salad.4

Earlier this year news broke of one of the most widespread and potentially devastating bugs to-date - Heartbleed. While heartbleed was massive and companies are still dealing with the fallout to this day, news has recently broke of an even bigger potential threat: Shellshock. This is a security issue all business owners, managers, and employees should be aware of.
Bash is run in a text-based window called a shell and is the main command program used by OS X and Unix. If you have a Mac computer and want to see what Bash looks like, simply hit Command (Apple Key) + Spacebar and type in Terminal. In the text-based window that opens in Bash you can enter commands using the Bash language to get your computer to do something e.g., eject a disc, connect to a server, move a file, etc.
The problem with Bash however is that it was recently discovered that by entering a specific line of code '() { :; };)' in a command you could get a system to run any following commands. In other words, when this command is used, Bash will continue to read and execute commands that come after it. This in turn could lead to a hacker being able to gain full, yet unauthorized, access to systems without having to enter a password. If this happens, there is very little you can do about it.
While most users have Windows-based computers, the servers that support a vast percentage of the Internet and many business systems run Unix. Combine this with the fact that many other devices like home routers, security cameras, Point of Sale systems, etc. run Unix and this is becomes a big deal.
As we stated above, hackers can gain access to systems using Bash. If for example this system happens to be a Web server where important user information is stored, and the hacker is able to use Bash to gain access and then escalate themselves to administrative status, they could steal everything. In turn this could lead to the information being released on to the Web for other hackers to purchase and subsequently use to launch other attacks - even Windows-based systems. Essentially, there are a nearly unlimited number of things a hacker can do once they have access.
If this is not dealt with, or taken seriously, we could see not only increased data breaches but also larger scale breaches. We could also see an increase in website crashes, unavailability, etc.
Also, if you haven't installed a Bash command line on your Windows-based machine your systems will probably be safe from this particular exploit. If you do have servers in your business however, or networking devices, it is worthwhile contacting us right away. The developers of Bash have released a partial fix for this problem and we can help upgrade your systems to ensure the patch has been installed properly.
This exploit, while easy to execute, will be incredibly difficult to protect systems from. That's why working with an IT partner like us can really help. Not only do we keep systems up-to-date and secure, we can also ensure that they will not be affected by issues like this. Contact us today to learn how we can help.
With the ever growing number of security threats faced by businesses around the world, the vast majority of business owners have adopted some form of security measures in an effort to keep their organizations secure. But, how do you know the measures you've implemented are actually keeping your systems safe? Here are five ways you can tell if your security measures aren't sufficient.
Contrary to popular belief, simply plugging in a wireless router and creating a basic network won't mean you are secure. If you don't set a password on your routers, then anyone within range can connect. Hackers and criminal organizations are known to look for, and then target these networks. With fairly simple tools and a bit of know-how, they can start capturing data that goes in and out of the network, and even attacking the network and computers attached. In other words, unprotected networks are basically open invitations to hackers.
Therefore, you should take steps to ensure that all wireless networks in the office are secured with passwords that are not easy to guess. For example, many Internet Service Providers who install hardware when setting up networks will often just use the company's main phone number as the password to the router. This is too easy to work out, so changing to a password that is a lot more difficult to guess is makes sense.
The businesses at risk are those using older systems like POP, or systems that don't encrypt passwords (what are known as 'clear passwords'). If your system doesn't encrypt information like this, anyone with the right tools and a bit of knowledge can capture login information and potentially compromise your systems and data.
If you are using older email systems, it is advisable to upgrade to newer ones, especially if they don't encrypt important information.
For example, if you have linked your work email to your tablet, but don't have a screen lock enabled and you lose your device anyone who picks it up will have access to your email and potentially sensitive information.
The same goes if you accidentally install a fake app with malware on it. You could find your systems infected. Therefore, you should take steps to ensure that your device is locked with at least a passcode, and you have anti-virus and malware scanners installed and running on a regular basis.
The same goes for not properly ensuring that these systems are updated. Updates are important for scanners, because they implement new virus databases that contain newly discovered malware and viruses, and fixes for them.
Therefore, scanners need to be properly installed and maintained if they are going to even stand a chance of keeping systems secure.
What you need instead is a firewall that covers the whole network at the point where data enters and exits (usually before the routers). These are business-centric tools that should be installed by an IT partner like us, in order for them to be most effective.
Data breaches are growing both in number and intensity. While many businesses have turned to cloud apps for better security measures, some experts and businesses worry about the cloud, mentioning that it could see an increased data breach risk. This leads to a collision course between data breaches and cloud usage. But it doesn't have to end in a fiery crash, as there are steps you can take to prevent a cloud and data security breach.
The cloud opens up some great tech advancements for businesses and is here to stay. However, as with all tech developments, you need to also be aware of any vulnerabilities and security issues as they change and develop at the same time too. If you use the cloud and want to proactively prevent cloud-and-data security breaches then here are five tips to follow:
With smartphones playing a larger role in today's daily business, the need to recharge them while you are on the go increases. And when you're nowhere near your charger, that public charging kiosk can look pretty promising. But what you might not know is that common traits in smartphone hardware and software design makes recharging phones through public chargers prone to juice jacking. If you're not sure what that is then let's find out and also discover how you can avoid juice jacking too.
The attack can be as simple as an invasion of privacy, wherein your phone pairs with a computer concealed within the charging kiosk and information such as private photos and contact information are transferred to a malicious device. However, on the other hand, it can also be as invasive as an injection of malicious code directly into your phone. According to security researchers at this year's Black Hat security conference, your iPhone can be compromised within one minute of being plugged into a harmful charger.
Exposure to a malicious kiosk can also create a lingering security problem even without the immediate injection of malicious code. Once a device is paired to a computer, it can access a host of personal information on the device, including your address book, notes, photos, music, sms database, typing cache, and even initiate a full backup of your phone, all of which can be accessed wirelessly at anytime.
It seems like nearly every week, and in some cases nearly every day, there is some security breach announced. The vast majority of these assaults tend to revolve around online user accounts, where password, account information, and even usernames are stolen. Over the years, there has been a general trend where the number of accounts breached or compromised is growing, and in early August news broke about possibly the biggest breach to date.
According to Hold Security, the company that uncovered these records, the information comes from around 420,000 sites. What is particularly interesting about this particular attack is that such a wide variety of sites were targeted when compared this with other attacks which tend to either attack large brand names or smaller related sites.
Botnets are a group of computers infected by hackers. When the hackers establish a botnet, they attack computers with weak network security and try to infect them with malware that allows the hacker to control the computer. If successful, users won't even know their computer has been hacked and is being used by hackers.
Once this botnet is established, the hackers essentially tell the computers to try to contact websites to test the security. In this recent case, the computers were looking to see if the websites were vulnerable to a SQL injection. This is where hackers tell the computers in the botnet to look for fillable sections on sites like comment boxes, search boxes, etc. and input a certain code asking the website's database to list the stored information related to that box.
If the Web developer has restricted the characters allowed in the fillable text boxes, then the code likely would not have worked. The botnet would notice this, and then move onto the next site. However, if the code works, the botnet notes this and essentially alerts the hacker who can then go to work collecting the data.
So, it is a cause for concern. However, you can limit the chance of hackers gaining access to your information and a website's information.
To be safe, change all of your passwords. This also includes passwords on your computer, mobile devices, and any online accounts - don't forget your website's back end, or hosting service. It is a pain to do, but this is essential if you want to ensure your data and your website is secure from this attack.
These days, the security of various technology based systems is constantly being called into question. From attacks on mobile devices to ever increasing types of malware, many businesses are struggling to stay on top of their security. One of the best ways to help ensure your systems are secure is to be aware of common security issues. To that end, here are five common ways your security can be breached.
A common trick used by hackers is to plant malware in software and then place this software on a website. When a user visits the site, they are informed that they need to download the software in order for the site to load properly. Once downloaded, the malware infects the system. Other hackers send emails out with a file attached, where only the file contains malware.
There are a nearly limitless number of ways you can be tricked into downloading and installing malware. Luckily, there are steps you can take to avoid this:
If a hacker manages to access your computer and you are set up as the admin, they will have full access to your computer. This means they could install other malicious software, change settings or even completely hijack the machine. The biggest worry about this however, is if a hacker gets access to a computer that is used to manage the overall network. Should this happen, they could gain control over all the systems on the network and do what they please on it.
In order to avoid this, you should ensure that if a user doesn't need to install files or change settings on the computer, they do not have administrator access. Beyond this, installing security software like anti-virus scanners and keeping them up to date, as well as conducting regular scans, will help reduce the chances of being infected, or seeing infections spread.
For example, you leave your computer on when you go for lunch and someone walks up to it, plugs in a USB drive with malware on it and physically infects your system. Or, it could be they access your system and manually reset the password, thereby locking you out and giving them access.
What we are trying to say here is that not all infections or breaches arrive via the Internet. What we recommend is to ensure that you password protect your computer - you need to enter a password in order to access it. You should also be sure that when you are away from your computer it is either turned off, or you are logged off.
Beyond that, it is a good idea to disable drives like CD/DVD and connections like USB if you don't use them. This will limit the chances that someone will be able to use a CD or USB drive to infect your computer.
While it would be great to say that every business has the best employees, there is always a chance a breach can be carried out by an employee. The most effective way to prevent this, aside from ensuring your employees are happy, is to limit access to systems.
Take a look at what your employees have access to. For example, you may find that people in marketing have access to finance files or even admin panels. The truth is, your employees don't need access to everything, so take steps to limit access to necessary systems. Combine this with the suggestions above - limiting admin access and installing scanners - and you can likely limit or even prevent employee initiated breaches.
If this happens, your account is compromised. Combine this with the fact that many people use the same password for multiple accounts, and you could see a massive breach leading to data being stolen, or worse - your identity.
It is therefore a good idea to use a separate password for each account you have. Also, make sure that the passwords used are strong and as different as possible from each other. One tool that could help ensure this is a password manager which generates a different password for each account.

BYOD, or Bring Your Own Device, is one of the most common business trends of the past couple of years. To many, the idea of bringing their own phone, tablet, laptop, or even computer to the office is ideal because it is a system they are undoubtedly familiar with. They may also view personal devices as better than the office models. Even if you don't allow your employees to bring their own devices to work, there is a good chance they do anyways. However, this could pose a security risk that needs to be dealt with.
This could put your business at a higher security risk if the rule is ignored, especially if you don't implement any security measures to protect your networks and data. In order to minimize the potential threats BYOD can expose your business to, we suggest you do the following:
The same goes for phones for your employees. Why not offer to pay for the plan and allow employees to use their own devices? Of course, you are going to want to implement security measures and usage rules, but if this is easily achieved then it may help reduce your overall operating costs. Before you do implement a system like this however, we strongly recommend you read the rest of this article and follow the steps below.
Chances are high that because they use the work Wi-Fi on their device for non-work tasks, they simply keep using the device when they are doing work related activities. This could pose a security risk, especially if you run business-critical operations on the same network. You could nip this potential problem in the bud and simply install another Wi-Fi network for mobile devices and non-critical business processes.
It is usually quite affordable to simply purchase another line and the networking equipment to support this, not to mention the fact that it will keep business-critical processes secure from errant malware. As an added bonus, you will likely see increased productivity because the bandwidth demand will be limited, so important data will move quicker.
One of the simplest ways to prevent this is to educate your employees about proper mobile safety. This includes how to spot apps that could contain malware, sharing security threat updates, and teaching your employees how to secure their devices. You really need to stress just how important security is to them.
On top of this, contact an IT expert like us for a recommended anti-virus and spyware scanner for mobile devices that users can easily install. Encourage employees to not just install this but to keep it up to date too. Many of these mobile specific scanners are free and just as powerful as desktop versions.
It may be that you don't actually need to integrate BYOD but to update hardware or software to newer versions instead. It could be that there is a simple solution to employees feeling frustrated with slow performance of existing systems at work.
If you do implement BYOD, we can help establish security measures and policies that will ensure your networks and employee devices are secure. The best advice we can give however, is to do this before you start allowing BYOD, as it can be far more challenging to implement and enforce changes when employees are already using their devices at work.

Businesses are relying increasingly on virtual machines to handle more critical data and tasks than ever before. Still, many are misguided about their security needs in a virtual environment. There are several myths that if believed can have serious consequences; leaving your organization vulnerable to an attack. Understanding these issues is key to helping you make better and safer decisions about the virtual environment of your business.
Therefore what you need is a solution that has been designed to keep both virtual and physical computing environments secure. There are a wide-number of solutions out there, and the best one for your business will depend largely on the virtual environments you employ. We strongly recommend talking to IT experts like us, as we can help determine, or even offer, the strongest security based.
This high level of duplication can cause massive performance degradation and waste tons of storage capacity. Therefore, you should make an effort to ensure that all of your systems including the main ones are without malware. This not only makes every system secure, but can also speed up overall operations.
Therefore, malware scanners on both the user and main systems would be a good idea. If it does happen to get on a system, the chances of it spreading are drastically reduced.
Additionally, being too eager to create new machines on demand can result in virtual machine sprawl, which happens when virtual machines are created but then forgotten. This leads to an unmaintained virtual endpoint operating without your knowledge. Even if the rest of your virtual machines are secure, it's possible for one machine to eavesdrop on the traffic of another virtual machine, leading to privacy and security risks.
The best solution to this is to employ an IT manager who can track and maintain systems. Many IT partners offer a solution like this, so experts like us may be able to help ensure your systems are secure.
A non-Web-connected server is going to have entirely different security needs than a virtual desktop of a server that manages customer information. Implementing one without the other simply just won't do in today's world, where attackers are set on getting their hands on your data.
Proper security is vital in making virtualization a critical component of your business IT infrastructure. Looking to learn more about virtualization and its components? Contact us today and see how we can help.
No matter what industry you operate in, today's technological advancements make it inevitable that network security threats will sooner or later come knocking on your door. While it is true that corporate security measures can consume a lot of time and a huge chunk of change, the rapid growth of malicious Internet activity makes it extremely vital for your business to become familiar with and to follow the right security guidelines.
As we increasingly come to rely on cloud-based systems, the browser will likely become even more important to business owners and managers. While there are a number of browsers out there, many Windows users prefer to use Internet Explorer (IE), largely because it is the browser which comes pre-installed on all Windows computers. However, if your business uses IE, there is an important zero-day security flaw that you should be aware of.
The way most software programs work is if a user finds a security flaw, they will usually inform the developer who will then develop a fix and release it in a patch that users download. The problem is, sometimes it is a hacker who discovers this vulnerability. Instead of reporting it, they start to capitalize on the flaw, exploiting it to attack other users before the developer becomes aware of it and has a chance to fix it.
How it worked is that the hackers sent emails to users with links to a website that hosts a malicious code. These emails were largely phishing in nature, meaning they aimed to get the user to click on a link in the email. Some of the subject lines used in attacks included:
To guard against the exploit you should firstly update the version of Internet Explorer that you are using. The easiest way to do this is to go to the Internet Explorer website and download the latest version - version 11 - of the browser. Version 11 can run on both Windows 7 and 8, so the vast majority of users should already be running this latest version.
If you are using an older version, Microsoft has pushed the patch out via both IE's automatic update feature - so restarting the browser should install the update. The other option is Windows Update. Simply running the Update program and installing the updates should ensure that the latest version of IE is installed.
For Windows 7 and 8 users, you can do this by:
If you are using XP, you can visit the Microsoft Update website using Internet Explorer and following the instructions.
Aside from updating your browser, you should ensure that your anti-virus and malware scanners are up to date and scheduled to scan your system on a regular basis. Be sure to look at all emails closely as well, if one seems a bit dodgy, or you receive one from someone you don't know, it is best to ignore it and delete it right away.
Businesses who are using XP should seriously consider updating because Microsoft will not be introducing security updates in the future, leaving your systems at greater risk of attack. At the very least, it may also be a good idea to switch to another browser like Firefox or Chrome, both of which will work on XP and are updated regularly.
Worried that your systems are not secure enough, or still running XP? Contact us today to see how we can help.

i already asked this but never got an awnser
are there any articles designed for people with aspergers rather than ones that insult us i would love some tips
Hey girl, I'm sorry ou feel insulted, our goal was to inform people, not insult them. Right now, we don't have any articles designed for people with aspergers, but there are probably sites out there on the internet that can help you. There are tons of articles on GL, though, so even if we don't have something specifically geared for you, you might find good advice. xoxo

I know how much Asperger's can affect you. My eight year old boy cousin was diagnosed when he was five years old.. he has problems with making friends and temper tantrums. He is a very sweet little boy though, always cracks you up or tells you some lame joke that's only funny when he says it. He is a very special child, and he is always so happy. He coped the best when my grandma passed onn and we were very proud of him. Sure, he has a disability, but he has something genuine inside of him- and that's what we love about him.

What did you think when the models arrived on the runway?
I was quite intrigued, and pretty certain we were to design collaboratively with the women presented before us. These models' accomplishments, and the level of respect and pride each of them deserves was, and is, humbling.
What is your take on designing for what is referred to as "The Everyday Woman?"
I thoroughly enjoy working with what fashion calls "the real woman." After all, are not all women, including those in the industry, "real?" Almost one half to two thirds of my clientele are what are called "everyday women," albeit amazing everyday women. I thoroughly delighted in the collaborative couture process with these clients, and looked forward to getting to know and work with Tracy.

NAPLES, Italy -- Roberto Mancini would like to coach a national team at next year's World Cup in Brazil.
Mancini, who was fired by Manchester City a month ago, briefly addressed his status via a phone connection to a news conference for a charity match in Capri.
He says, "I want to return to the bench soon, perhaps even with a national team for next year's World Cup."
The 48-year-old Mancini has never managed a national team.
After a successful playing career with Sampdoria and Lazio, he began his coaching career with Fiorentina in 2001 then guided Lazio, Inter Milan and City.
In 2011-12 he led City to its first English league title in 44 years. He also led Inter to three Serie A titles.
While he made 36 appearances and scored four goals for Italy, Mancini did not find as much playing success with the national team as he did for his clubs. He was on Italy's squad for the 1990 World Cup but did not play.

K. Sparks - Three Card Monte
Artist: K. Sparks
Featuring: Angelous, J.D. of Duality
Producer: Pajozo
Album: Soul Food
Avg Rating: 4.2 ( 17 votes )
Need a refresher course on what sets K. Sparks and his crew apart from the rest? Look no further – on Three Card Monte, the latest leak off his and frequent producer Pajozo's recently-released Soul Food mixtape, the Queens native lays it all on the table: "That's me: best raps, flow of the year… sick tracks, throwin' dough in the air. That's them: Auto-Tune c**n, soundin' the same… wack rappers always mess up the game." Spitting over Pajozo's mellow, sunny, summer breeze of a sampled beat, Sparks delivers on the hook's promise and then some, while his collaborators, BK native Angelous (who, yeah, still sounds a little like Hova) and the gruffer JD (previously heard on the project's title track, as well as his own True Dat) turn in equally impressive guest bars. Soul Food is out now and available for purchase on iTunes. Also, if you're a K. Sparks fanatic and have yet to vote for Best of the Booth 2009, now's the time to fill out your ballot; this year, the reader-acclaimed rhymesayer's been nominated in a whopping five categories!

this is a dumbass thread to begin with. but enough about that. i'm gonna answer this in the simplest way i possibly can:
who cares?
I don't think any of us on this board are against interracial relationships.
this is a dumbass thread to begin with. but enough about that. i'm gonna answer this in the simplest way i possibly can:
who cares?
I guess none of them are Christian.
I'm joking of course. Then again, so many people find it ok but less than 50 years ago it wasn't.
Honestly, if someone didn't feel it was right I doubt they have the guts to say it. And after what has been said, I still wonder why there is so much racism, gay-bashing, and ignorance towards others ideas.
Can't have it all I guess.
concerning parents vs. interracial relationships....they grew up in a much different generation. i know my parents did. the last few generations ahve adapted much more quickly to different views and cultures that it's now okay and legal to have interracial relationships.
it's great that its happening. it's easier to overcome such hurdles, considering most people these days are more likely to date someone on a more intellectual level with the same values, beliefs and lifestyles than race and nationality.
of course they still have to be somewhat physically attractive
Perhaps I'm unusual but my family has always been that way on both sides. My fathers sister married a second generation Japanese American and both their families couldn't have been happier. Also my mothers father was exstatic when He found out my husband has Native American blood. There is quite a mix on that side (well both really) and he always regretted that that one was missing. Till the day he died he always refered to him as "that Indian husband of yours" even though it's a very small fraction.
Maybe the difference is that we already did have such a diverse background to begin with. Yes, It was European for the most part, but many of them were from cultures that had been deadly enimies. Whatever the reason I grew up in a family that always considered compatability above any other qualification.
Am I unusual in this and very lucky or are there others out there with the same fortune?
l Stone Hold l Now We're Cooking! l Thanks to Kaos for the awesome sig!
It seems as though people prefer to go and date someone of the same race..but i think its ok to date someone of another race..i mean..sure enough they look different on the outside..but really all that matters is the inside...i mean...jus think of it this way..some people think that its a bad idea to date a different race..why? cuz they still live in the old life where they are used to thinking that their race is totally superior to others...i dont see where the heck that came from but thats just how it was back then...right now...i think its perfectly fine that people date other races..i myself prefer to date someone of my race..but i dont think that i would object a person of different race...i mean...its just plain stupid..and i dont think that dating others from a different country is bad either..its perfectly fine..besides..its bound to happen sometime..we all live on the same earth right?
it dont matter where u from, if u drain away all the water, you see were all on the same piee of land, though its divided by the plates

Tens of thousands of people turned out at Taiwan's LGBTI pride march today to push for same-sex marriage to be legalized
Tens of thousands of people took to the streets of Taipei, Taiwan today to celebrate LGBTI pride (25 October).
The proud revellers also carried a serious message of equality to parliament. They are pushing for same-sex marriage to be recognized by law.
Organizers estimated 50,000 people walked the streets of Taipei in two separate routes before converging again at the end of the march.
Supporters held multicoloured placards with the messages 'Support gay marriage' and 'Walk in Queers' Shoes'.
They had been accused of being a gay couple 'posing' as a husband and wife
Charges against a gay man and a trans woman in Uganda accused of sexual activity going against 'the order of nature' have been dismissed.
Kim Mukisa, 24, a businessman who reportedly identifies as gay, and Jackson Mukasa, 19, his alleged trans partner, had faced a potential life sentence in jail.
They were charged under Section 145 of the Penal Code that bans consensual same-sex relations, according to Sexual Minorities Uganda.
Impoverished LGBTI people often can't get jobs just for being LGBTI. Sebastian Rocca tells us why, and what you can do for your community
Imagine you can't get a job because your neighborhood knows you're a lesbian.
Or your apartment manager discovers you're a trans man, and kicks you out of your home, which is legal because your government doesn't protect LGBTI people from discrimination.
This is the experience of many gay, bi and trans people worldwide, individuals who are thrown into a poverty cycle with no escape because of their sexual orientation or gender identity.
Stars of The Fosters and other TV series are showing their support for LGBTI youth by wearing purple
Today (16 October) is Spirit Day – an awareness-raising initiative that invites people to make a stand against bullying and show support for LGBTI youth.
Several celebrities have become involved with this year's event, which invites people to wear purple to show their backing for the campaign.
The person accused of homophobic acts will have to prove his or her innocence, rather than being presumed innocent until proven guilty as is usually the case
Spain's autonomous region of Catalonia, of which Barcelona is the capital city, on Thursday passed a controversial law to protect lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transsexuals (LGTB) from homophobic attacks.
Homophobia is not a crime in the country even though it has the highest LGBTI murder rate in the world
At least 216 LGBTI people have been murdered this year in Brazil where homophobia is not a crime.
The data was collected by the Gay Group of Bahia from January to 29 September and is based on police records and news reports as there are no official statistics.
The region with the most cases was the Northeast (43%) and the city with more cases per capita was Cuiabá, with 0.03 homicides per 1,000 inhabitants.
Gay men are the most affected (59%), followed by transvestites (35%) and lesbians (4%).
LGBTI media advocacy group announces networks must include transgender characters to receive an 'Excellent' grade from next year
GLAAD has issued a record 'Excellent' grade to three TV networks this year.
With shows such as Modern Family, The Fosters and Looking huge hits, the US LGBT media advocacy organization has looked backwards at the previous season and rated the networks on their LGBT-inclusive content between June 2013 and May 2014.
They have also released the Where We Are On TV report, analyzing the scripted characters in the upcoming 2014-2015 season.
ABC Family, HBO and MTV have earned 'Excellent' this year.
Report says tourism authority promotes the country as a gay-friendly destination but LGBTI acceptance is low
Thai LGBTI people face stigma and limited job opportunities despite high visibility in a generally tolerant society, according to a new report.
The report, conducted by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), found that while the tourism authority actively promotes Thailand as a gay-friendly destination, acceptance of LGBTI people in society is still low.
Hundreds of gay rights activists marched through central Belgrade for the first time since 2010 in protest of the latest attack on Saturday
A German gay rights activist has been hospitalized with 'life-threatening' injuries after he was attacked by several assailants in downtown Belgrade early on Saturday morning, according to Deutsche Welle quoting AP and AFP.
The man is being hospitalized 'with severe head injuries and bleeding, so he has had surgery and been put in intensive care,' Dusan Jovanovic, of Belgrade's Emergency centre, was quoted by AFP as saying.
Delegates to the 2014 International Lesbian Gay Bisexual Trans & Intersex Association (ILGA) World Conference in Mexico City have until 15 September to register to attend
Mexico City is the host of the 27th World Conference of the 2014 International Lesbian Gay Bisexual Trans & Intersex Association (ILGA) from 27-31 October this year and delegates only have until 15 September to register with conference organizers.
The 2014 ILGA World Conference will be the first to be held in Mexico and only the second to be held in Latin America and will have the theme 'De-colonizing our bodies.'
The Mexican goddess Tlazoltéotl has been adopted as the official symbol of the conference.
In an exclusive piece for Gay Star News, UK Minister for Women and Equalities Nicky Morgan explains why the commitment to equality cannot end at Britain's shores
It's a source of great pride to me that the UK has been recognized by the International Lesbian and Gay Association (ILGA) as being a European leader in equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people for the fourth year running.
It's thanks to the heroic work and unrelenting passion of campaigners and activists that LGBT young people growing up in Britain today can be confident that society is on their side.
But reaction from activists mixed since only one group - OUT at Universal - will be included
Organizers of the New York City St. Patrick's Day Parade announced Wednesday (3 September) that an LGBT organization will be able to march in the event for the first time in its 253-year history.
Next March, OUT@NBCUniversal, an employee LGBT organization for NBCUniversal employees, will be allowed to participate under their own banner.
The first pride event in the English-speaking Caribbean was cut short after death threats
The first gay pride event in the Bahamas was cut short after no locals showed up and the organizer received death threats.
The event started on Thursday (28 August) and was meant to run until Tuesday.
Organizer Victor Rollins told the Nassau Guardian that only 11 people other than the organizers attended the event, all of whom were foreigners. No one from the local gay community turned up, even the people who were to be honored at the event.
'Everyone is scared,' Rollins said. 'No Bahamian from the LGBT community showed up.'
Tells Gay Star News: 'I go back and forth on what my next steps will be'
Jason Collins, the first openly gay player in the NBA, tells Gay Star News he isn't sure he wants to try and return to the league for another season.
'I go back and forth on what my next steps will be,' Collins said at the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association conference in Chicago on Saturday (23 August).
Collins, 35, said he will decide by late September whether or not he wants to resume training.
Not that he is letting himself get out of shape.
'I still run,' he said. 'I don't want to turn into Charles Barkley.'
The Mumbai chief of India's ruling party, BJP, says his party is now against the misuse of section 377 and will raise the issue in Parliament
'Criminalizing the gay community by misusing section 377 of the IPC [Indian Penal Code] is not acceptable to the [ruling] BJP,' Mumbai chief Ashish Shelar told some 250 attendees at a special Independence Day event 'Acceptance Meet' On Friday. The meeting was organized by The Humsafar Trust, an NGO in Mumbai which promotes LGBTI rights, and other community organizations.
The iconic Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence (think militant gay rights activists in flawless makeup) made their mark this year in a nation with many LGBTI rights challenges
Last month, a delegation of The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence from San Francisco, Paris and Berlin pinched into their stilettos and sauntered onto Chinese soil for the very first time in the Sisterhood's history.
'Sexual orientation is not in itself a risk' - Gay rights activists are calling for all lifelong bans on gay and bisexual men donating blood to be lifted
Being a gay or bisexual man should not mean a lifelong ban from giving blood in many European countries, according to the Court of Justice.
Paulo Mengozzi, one of the Advocate Generals, gave his opinion that refusing blood donated by a man who has had sex with another man is discriminatory, unnecessary and should be stopped.
Geoffrey Léger, a Frenchman, went to a doctor in 2009 to give blood at the Établissement Français Du Sang (French Blood Agency).
Refused for being gay, Léger fought back against the decision.
Cash allotted for LGBTI fundraising efforts was stolen from the headquarters of the group responsible for Madrid Gay Pride
As one million people took to Madrid's streets this past weekend for Gay Pride, an unknown number of thieves broke into the office of COGAM (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Trans Madrid Collective).
Between 5 pm on 5 July and the morning of 7 July, locked cabinets were broken into, belongings were flung about the office and equipment and cash were taken from the LGBTI group's headquarters in Madrid.
An estimated 1 million people turned out for Madrid Pride on Saturday evening under the slogan 'We march for those who can not' to remember LGBTIs who are persecuted and oppressed worldwide
Hundreds of thousands lined Paseo del Prado in the Spanish capital of Madrid on Saturday evening for the gay pride parade that comprised more than 50 organizations and 30 floats.
The parade is a culmination of festivities held over five days since the kickoff on Wednesday night which included an open air appearance by Conchita Wurst, the bearded Austrian drag queen who won the Eurovision song contest in May.
In 1953, one gay man decided to hold onto a picture that would have got him arrested and very possibly beaten by the police
Back in 1953, being gay was not only frowned upon but forbidden.
Safe places were sacred, and one of them happened to be a photo booth.
The young man on the right hand side of the image above, Joseph John Bertrund Berlanger, once owned the picture.
Even though the picture itself could have got both of the men arrested at the time it was taken, he held onto the romantic shot for posterity.
Gay rights activists suspect ban was repealed is because lawmakers do not want to be 'humiliated' by the European Court of Human Rights
St Petersburg has repealed the 'gay propaganda' law.
Lawmakers in the city's local assembly decided there was no longer a need for a local law now there is a federal ban.
The second largest city in Russia was one of the first to introduce an anti-gay law in 2012.
Vitaly Milonov, who was the co-sponsor of the original homophobic legislation in St Petersburg, introduced the repeal but this does not mean he is supporting LGBTI people.
He said he will continue to fight against 'gay propaganda' and seek to criminalize such acts.
The City of Los Angeles has unveiled a plaque commemorating the 1967 police riots at the Black Cat Tavern that ignited that city's LGBTI community two years before Stonewall
The City of Los Angeles has unveiled a plaque marking the location of the 1967 Black Cat Riots – one of the earliest examples of America's LGBTI community standing up for themselves.
In the early hours of New Year's Eve in 1967 a group of plain clothed police officers infiltrated the Black Cat Tavern in Silverlake, a newly established gay bar, and began arresting and beating patrons for kissing.
The violence spread to the nearby New Faces bar, where police beat two bartenders unconscious, and erupted into a riot in the surrounding area.
Seven young LGBTI filmmakers in Cambodia, Thailand, China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Nepal and Singapore have been selected to produce a short story about their thoughts and experiences about being LGBTI where they live
B-Change Foundation, a social enterprise, has launched the first video from the 'Stories of Being Me' campaign which will feature a total of seven short videos made by young LGBTIs in Asia.
The videos coincide with the launch of BE: a new web-app designed to support the well-being of young people from sexual and gender minorities.
Who will win out of 49 countries including the UK, Belgium, Montenegro and...Russia?
Where is the best place to be gay in Europe? The UK.
Ranked the best of 49 countries, with a score of 82%, it proves that while they might not be great at winning song contests recently – it comes tops when it comes to LGBTI rights.
The UK beat Belgium that scored 78%, followed by Spain with 73%.
The Netherlands, Norway and Portugal came in joint fourth place with 70% while Sweden, France and Iceland were top five at 65%.

Opponent Profile: Chiefs Hot At The Wrong Time For The Raiders
The Kansas City Chiefs have been playing pretty well lately, as evidenced by their win over the Seattle Seahawks last weekend. Now, they get to the play the first of two games remaining on their schedule against the hapless Oakland Raiders, and if the Silver & Black want to win their first game in more than a year, they'll need to be at their "best"—whatever that is.
Chiefs Prepare To Face Colts In Playoffs
Just two weeks ago, the Kansas City Chiefs lost at home to the Indianapolis Colts in a game that sealed the AFC West team's postseason fate. Can they flip that outcome on the road in the playoffs?
Injuries May Not Matter For Raiders Against Chiefs This Weekend
The Oakland Raiders and the Kansas City Chiefs both have some injuries on their respective rosters as they face off this weekend in Week 15, but it probably won't affect the outcome of the game too much.
Kansas City Chiefs: A Formidable Foe For Feeble Oakland Raiders
With the Oakland Raiders season spiraling into dark depths, the Kansas City Chiefs come to town looking to move up in the AFC playoff standings.

I have a good robust porter recipe I'd like to add vanilla to. My neighbor bakes and offered vanilla pods without the black specks. Questions would be: can I just use the spent pod? How much? And what part of the process do I add it? I brew AG if that makes a difference.
Keg 1: Coal Miner's Daugter Porter
Keg 2: Red October
Keg 3: Hopsolutely
Bottled: 1 Vienna Lagers; Erins Irish Red; Pils, Christmas Doppel, Addy's Amber Ale(competition brew), Mayden Voyage Blonde Ale
Future: Something Belgian, ESB
When I used vanilla pods I just cut and split them and covered them with vodka just enough to submerge them. Then added that to either the fermenter after primary fermentation was over or to bottling bucket. Did it both ways with food results. I know you said they didn't have the specks in the center but I think you'd still get some flavoring from them. I used 5 pods for 5 gallons with good results.
Beer Plus Science = .....Good!!!!! By: Adam Savage
The stripped pod should still be useful as long as it hasn't been baked or already extracted with alcohol already. That said, it will have a much lower amount of vanilla than a regular split bean. You may have to experiment to get the level you're looking for. Free is free!
I can't be arsed to keep up this list of what's in the fermenters, but hey, check out the cool brewery I own!
twitter.com/2kidsbrewing .. facebook.com/2kidsbrewing .. 2kidsbrewing.com
The most recent van porter I had was breckenridge and really wanna get the same intense vanilla character. I guess I'll have to see how much she actually uses and hopefully it is 5 as you suggested. Yes free is very good.

Britney Spears Kicks Off Femme Fatale Tour (Photos)
Britney Spears kicked off her Femme Fatale tour at the Power Balance Pavilion in Sacremento, Calif. last night and from the looks of it, her first night back on stage was definitely a spectacle.
No guitar too small, no bikini top too glittery for the pop princess. She pranced around the stage and danced with scantily clad men, straddled a gigantic guitar and rode a motorcycle all while belting out some of her most famous tunes.
The sold out crowd was in for a real treat. The 29-year-old singer chatted with Entertainment Tonight last week and divulged just a little about what fans could expect.
"I'm really excited," she said. "I'm probably going to be extra nervous the day before but we've been working hard for two months now, and everything is coming together."
With the tour finally under way, fans can breathe a sigh of relief as it has been anything but a smooth ride to opening night. Spears' mental state is constantly scrutinized by critics and after the controversy over opening acts, Enrique Iglesias quitting the tour and Nicki Minaj filling his spot, it seems that things have finally settled down.
Check out some of the photos from last night's show below!

- Friday 17 JuneBy jonzbeach
I take issue with the term "belting" out her tunes. This performer has not, does not, and cannot sing live. Lip synching through her over-produced, auto-tuned TA DEATH tunes is more like it.
I will take Lady Gaga..who is the only performer to openly lambast these pop tarts who cannot perform live.
- Friday 17 JuneBy Dwayne
It has been reported by every media outlet that watched
rehearsals & the first show that she does, in fact, sing live for a great portion of the show. With a backing track, of course.....but even Gaga uses that. Also, Gaga needs to worry about herself instead of attacking other performers...

I agree 100%... She really CAN'T SING! I'm surprised that I like GaGa. No usually my type of singer, but she's cool.
