Move Over Amber Rose, Check Out Kim Kardashian's Furry Bikini [PHOTOS]
Watch out Amber Rose! It looks like Kim Kardashian is trying to one-up the model in the bikini department. Kanye West's wife raised a few eyebrows recently after she posted Instagram photos of herself wearing a skimpy fur bikini.
In the wintery pictures, which were shot by Yeezy, Kim looks like a bodacious snow bunny wearing a fur-kini that barely covers her breasts and other assets. Baby North's mother accessorizes her, um, outfit with some ankle-high furry boots that are surely keeping her footsies warm.
In the captions, Kim gives a shout-out to her photographer husband and also writes, "Baby, it's cold outside."
We don't know what PETA will think about these photos, but we have to say that they are hot, hot, hot.
However, Kim's photos are rather tame compared to Amber Rose's jaw-dropping barely-there bikini pictures.
According to E! News, Kimye's snowy photos were taken while they were vacationing together in Deer Valley, Utah. The power couple also went skiing and snowboarding. Thankfully, Kim didn't wear her furkini during their outing because that would be a little awkward.
Check out the photos below.

Seven Founders
Last week guest blogger Ray Raphael laid out a challenge: Choose seven people to follow through the entire American Revolution whose stories, when combined, would tell the whole of that political, military, and social change.
I shared my thoughts, and Boston 1775 readers rose to the challenge with many more suggestions. I also promised to reveal the folks whom Ray chose to follow in Founders: The People Who Brought You a Nation, and here they are:
- George Washington. Virginia planter. Delegate to the House of Burgesses and the Continental Congress. Generalissimo. Chairman of the Constitutional Convention. President. You've heard of him, right?
- Joseph Plumb Martin. Native of Massachusetts raised in Connecticut. Private soldier from 1775 to 1783, reaching rank of sergeant. Settled in Maine. Published a lively account of his military career, most likely edited from his contemporaneous journals because of all the detail, in 1830.
- Mercy Otis Warren. Political writer. Sister of James Otis, Jr., wife of James Warren, friend of John and Abigail Adams. Active Whig, Anti-federalist, and Jeffersonian. The Woman Who Did Everything More Beautifully Than You.
- Robert Morris. British-born Pennsylvania merchant. Delegate to the Congress. Financier and financial manager of the U.S. of A., founder of the Bank of North America, lender of large sums to the new republic. Delegate to the Constitutional Convention and Senator. Land speculator and debtor.
- Timothy Bigelow. Blacksmith from Worcester. Local political organizer. Colonel of a Massachusetts regiment in the Continental Army. Developer of Montpelier, Vermont. Debtor.
- Henry Laurens. South Carolina planter. President of the Continental Congress after John Hancock. Diplomat and eventually one negotiator of the Treaty of Paris. Father of John Laurens. Highest-ranking U.S. government official ever captured by the enemy.
- Dr. Thomas Young. A New York country doctor, deist, and poet. Helped found the Albany Sons of Liberty before moving to Boston. Soon one of the town's top Whig organizers. Fleeing the troops in Boston in September 1774, he joined the Patriots in Rhode Island. Then he moved on to Philadelphia, becoming a leader of the state's radical party and an army surgeon. Coined the name "Vermont."
Washington, Martin, and Bigelow were all in the army at Valley Forge and Yorktown, but, holding different ranks, experienced the war in different ways. Morris and Laurens were very important figures in the civil government while Warren and Young wrote political essays and exercised behind-the-scenes influence. Washington, Morris, and Bigelow all invested in land development after the war; Martin was one of the small farmers who settled on such newly developed land. Only one of these people didn't live to see Britain acknowledge American independence.

Sightseeing Place in Kathmandu
Kathmandu Durbar Square
Kathmandu Durbar Square is in the heart of old city Kathmandu in Basantapur. The Royal complex was residence to Nepal's Royal family before the construction of the Narayanhiti Royal Palace. The founding of the Royal Palace dates back to Licchavi times. With considerable renovations by Malla rulers and later the Ranas, construction was accomplished progressively over many centuries.
There are around 50 temples in the vicinity including the temple of Royal titular deity, Taleju Bhawani. The Durbar is divided into two courtyards, the outer comprising Kasthamandap, Kumari Ghar, and Shiva-Parvati Temple, and the inner consisting of Hanuman Dhoka and the main palace. It also houses two museums. Important ceremonies, including the coronation of the Nepali monarch, are held in the Kathmandu Durbar Square. Most parts of the palace premise are open for tourists throughout the week during office hours.
Patan Durbar Square complex, situated in the center of Patan city, houses the residence of the former Royal family of Patan. The Square and its surroundings provide very good example of ancient Newari architecture. The palace has three main courtyards the central and the oldest is Mul Chowk. To the west of the complex are a dozen free standing temples of various sizes and styles. Krishna Temple, Bhimsen Temple, the Golden Temple of Hiranya Varna Mahavira and Sundari Chowk mark the architectural excellence of its era. The Sundari Chowk with the sunken Royal bath of Tusha Hiti, contains exquisite woodcarvings, stone, and metal sculpture. Patan Durbar Square also houses a temple of Taleju Bhawani.
Bhaktapur Durbar Square
Bhaktapur Durbar Square is located in the center of Bhaktapur. The Square is one of the most charming architectural showpieces of the Valley as it highlights some of the finest medieval arts of Nepal. The main items of interest in Bhaktapur Durbar Square are the Lion Gate, the Golden Gate and the statues of kings on stone monoliths. The Golden Gate was erected by King Ranjit Malla as the entrance to the main courtyard of the Fifty-five Windowed Palace.
The Palace of Fifty-five Windows was built during the reign of King Yakshya Malla in A.D. 1427 and was remodelled by King Bhupatindra Malla in the seventeenth century. The art gallery of Bhaktapur Durbar Square contains ancient paintings belonging to the Hindu and Buddhist traditions of various periods. This gallery is open everyday except Tuesday.
Swayambhu Nath Stuap
Swayambhu literally means 'Self-Existent One.' Swayambhunath is believed to have been established more than 2,500 years ago. An inscription dated 460 A.D. states that the construction was carried out by King Manadeva. By the thirteenth century Swayambhunath had developed into an important Buddhist learning site.
The history of Kathmandu Valley is said to have started with the beginning of Swayambhu. The largest image of the Sakyamuni Buddha in Nepal is in a monastery next to the stupa. Behind the hilltop is a temple dedicated to Manjusri of Saraswati - the goddess of learning. Statues and shrines of Buddhist and Hindu deities dot the stupa complex.
Large numbers of Buddhists and Hindus alike visit Swayambhunath. Swayambhu is perhaps the best place to observe the religious harmony in Nepal. The stupa is atop a hill, and requires considerable walk. There is also a road that leads almost to the base of the statue.
Boudha Nath Stupa
Boudhanath. Boudhanath is among the largest stupas in South Asia, and it has become the focal point of Tibetan Buddhism in Nepal. The white mound looms thirty-six meters overhead. The stupa is located on the ancient trade route to Tibet, and Tibetan merchants rested and offered prayers here for many centuries. When refugees entered Nepal from Tibet in the 1950s, many of them decided to live around Boudhanath They established many gompas, and the "Little Tibet" of Nepal was born. This "Little Tibet" is still the best place in the Valley to observe Tibetan lifestyle. Monks walk about in maroon robes. Tibetans walk with prayer wheels in their hands, and the rituals of prostration are presented to the Buddha as worshippers circumambulate the stupa on their hands and knees, bowing down to their lord.
Many people believe that Boudhanath was constructed in the fifth century, but definite proof is lacking. The stupa is said to entomb the remains of a Kasyap sage who is venerable both to Buddhists and Hindus. One legend has it that a woman requested a Valley king for the donation of ground required to build a stupa. She said she needed land covered by one buffalo's skin and her wish was granted by the King. She cut a buffalo skin into thin strips and circled off a fairly large clearing. The king had no choice but to give her the land.
The Boudha area is a visual feast. Colorful thangkas, Tibetan jewellery, hand-woven carpets, masks, and khukuri knives are sold in the surrounding stalls. Smaller stupas are located at the base. Gompa monasteries, curio shops, and restaurants surround Boudhanath Conveniently situated restaurants with roof-top patios provide good food and excellent views of Boudhanath
Changu Narayan
Changu Narayan is the temple of Vishnu the Preserver, in the village of Changu in Bhaktapur. The origins of Changu Narayan goes back to the fourth century. A fifth century stone inscription in the temple proclaims it as one of the oldest shrines of the Kathmandu Valley. The temple is believed to be sixteen hundred years old. It is embellished by the best examples of stone, wood, and metal craft.
On the struts of the two-tiered Changu Narayan Temple, are the ten incarnations of Narayan. A sixth-century stone statue shows the cosmic form of Vishnu. Garuda, half man and half bird, is the steed of Vishnu, and his life-sized statue kneels before the temp
Pashupati Nath
Pashupatinath is the holiest Hindu pilgrimage destination in Nepal. There are linga images of Shiva along with statues, shrines, and temples dedicated to other deities in the complex. A temple dedicated to Shiva existed at this site in AD 879. However, the present temple was built by King Bhupatindra Malla in 1697. A gold-plated roof, silver doors, and woodcarvings of the finest quality decorate the pagoda construction. Guheswari Temple, restored in AD 1653, represents the female "force". It is dedicated to Satidevi, Shiva's first wife, who gave up her life in the flames of her father's fire ritual.
A circuit of the Pashupati area takes visitors past a sixth-century statue of the Buddha, an eighth-century statue of Brahma the creator and numerous other temples. Some other places to visit are Rajrajeswari Temple, built in 1407, Kailash with lingas more than 1,400 years old, Gorakhnath temple, and the courtyard of Biswarup. There are rows of Shiva shrines and Hindu pilgrims from all over South Asia offering puja worship to Shiva, tile Lord of Destruction.
The Bagmati River flows close by and the Arya Ghat cremation grounds are here. We strongly advise photographers not to take photos of cremations and of bereaved families. Sadhus, sages who follow the lifestyle of Shiva, may be seen covered in ashes and loin-cloths. They ask for money in case you want to take their photos. The main Pashupatinath courtyard may be entered by those of Hindu faith only.

Martha's Vineyard Hospital is among the greenest
Becker's Hospital Review, a monthly trade journal that features up-to-date business and legal news and analysis relating to hospitals and health systems, named Martha's Vineyard Hospital to its list of the 50 greenest hospitals in America.
To develop this list, the Becker team researched and analyzed sustainability information from sources such as Health Care Without Harm, Practice Greenhealth, Healthier Hospitals Initiative, the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program, the EPA, and other health care sustainability organizations and experts, according to Becker.
Becker said of Martha's Vineyard Hospital: In 2011, the facility received LEED Gold certification — the only acute-care facility in Massachusetts to achieve that high of a certification. MVH, an affiliate of Boston-based Partners HealthCare, incorporated many green features into its design, such as bio-retention areas for water runoff, computer-monitored energy performance, and 200 energy-producing solar panels. MVH also actively promotes the Planetree model of care, which centers on patient-centered elements like natural light and healing gardens.

New officers for American Legion
American Legion Department of Massachusetts representatives made a trip to Martha's Vineyard on September 11 to meet with Vineyard Haven Post 257 officers, who were newly elected in August. Senior Vice Commander Charles Towers, a candidate for American Legion Department of Massachusetts Commander for 2014-15, spoke to the officers about membership standings across the state and Post 257's goal to increase local membership. Henry "Hank" Bradley, a past National Vice Commander and past state American Legion Department Commander, also attended the meeting, along with state American Legion Department historian Ben Wilcoxen.
Post 257's new officers for 2013-14 include Commander Vernon Oliver, Vice Commander John Hirt, Chaplain David Berube, Adjutant Mike Fontes, and Finance Officer Jo Ann Murphy.
In support of the Food Pantry
The Martha's Vineyard Hebrew Center's annual Hunger Drive supports the Island Food Pantry. During the Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur holidays, the Drive distributed empty grocery bags (generously donated by Cronig's) to all those who attended services. Stapled onto the bags was a letter describing the Hunger Project and asking that congregants return the bags filled with non-perishable foods. On Wednesday, September 18, the students from the Hebrew Center's religious school delivered the donations to the Island Food Pantry.
According to Armen Hanjian, Island Food Pantry coordinator, this is the largest annual donation of food that the Pantry receives.

Reading about the mother in England who chose a different nursery school for her daughter because one assistant was morbidly obese brings a flood of emotions to the forefront of my mind. I was very recently that obese person. I spent many years in a body that I didn't recognize. I hated who I saw in the mirror; but with autoimmune diseases running rampant with many still undiagnosed or treated, not only was food my only comfort; but my body wasn't working properly to process whatever I ate.
Last December, after undergoing six intensive solu-medrol infusion sessions (one being 1000 mgs via IV for 5 days in a row), my weight ballooned. Yes, the weight was there prior; but the steroid infusions made it even worse. A picture was taken of me at a Christmas party that literally stopped me in my tracks. Three days prior to Christmas, December 22, 2016, I stepped on the scale at Weight Watchers and sobbed. I had no idea that my home scale was so off. I was in tears through the entire meeting. How had I gotten so big? How had I not seen it? How was I going to get the weight off?
There's no more of an eye opening experience when it comes to fat shaming than being in the dating world. It seems someone who is certifiably insane but skinny is a better catch than someone who is a wonderful person but obese. With the advent of all the filters, shading, and proper arm reaching from above you for the perfect selfie pose, everyone works hard at that one selfie out of 20 that makes them seem skinnier than they actually are.
In the business world, people don't look at you the same way as they do their skinnier counterparts and immediately offer an excited "Oh you've lost weight" if your pants happen to be hanging a bit loosely (the pants being loose only from sitting behind a desk for long hours at a time).
In the world of products that are marketed by individuals with their "Home business" are bombarded constantly in front of you. Drink this potion and you will lose weight without even trying. Use this diet for a certain number of days and the weight will melt off. Do this exercise and only this exercise everyday for x number of days and your belly will disappear.
Someone who is obese is bombarded daily with the fact they are obese. The fact that the nursery school assistant referred to in England was sweet and wonderful with the children is simply amazing because it takes a lot of work to rise above the fat shaming and not let it bother you. Perhaps this wonderful teacher loved working with little kids because they didn't fat shame her?
I wasn't always obese. I was a top swimmer in my state for over a decade and didn't have an ounce of cellulite on my body for a very long time. This made my scale climb even more painful. I wanted nothing more than to lose the weight. I'd start working out and then end up sick for weeks after very little effort. I fell into some of the quick fixes advertised, which certainly didn't work for me. Weight Watchers was the only method I hadn't tried.
Thanks to my amazing group and leader, I started to learn new tactics and healthier ways of eating. This was coupled with starting a new treatment for my LEMS, that allowed my muscles to work as they were supposed to. Muscles are needed to lose weight! I've lost 52 pounds to date, with only 6 more pounds to go until my goal weight. During a milestone celebration at one meeting, my leader, who was the one who weighed me in that first fateful night said " I remember, and I didn't think you were ever going to come back. It's been so great watching your transition."
As happy as I am with my weight loss for a variety of reasons, I actually carry some anger and resentment for those who treat me differently because I've lost the weight. I get angry because I'm the same exact person I was with 50 more pounds hugging my frame. I get angry because fat shaming is such a huge part of our society. I get angry because people often make comments about how much better I feel because I'm working out. I want to scream at them, I'm working out BECAUSE I feel better! I readily admit that yes, part of my weight loss is due to following the Weight Watchers' plan; but just as much credit has to be given to my LEMS treatment that has given my body the ability to do what it's supposed to do.
When I first started dating the man I am currently seeing, I showed him a "fat picture" of me, pretty soon after we started dating. I wanted him to see who I was, not just who I am today. I wanted to make sure he wasn't just spending time with me because of how I looked. It turns out that he, too, was a top swimmer growing up. When I expressed to him, on our second date, how happy I was that I now could work out and now was in shape after years of that not being the case because I was physically unable to, his response was "Of course you feel that way, that's the athlete in you." I finally had found someone that understood how I felt.
Society needs to stop judging people on their weight and instead start supporting them! People are overweight for many reasons. Some reasons are physical health reasons, some are mental health reasons and some are simply genetic reasons. Everyone has indulged at some point in their lives. Not everyone gains weight from those indulgences!
We are conditioned to have wonderful food along with celebrations in life. What kind of a birthday cake do you want? We are having a barbecue because our relatives from far away are visiting (and there will be far too much food at the gathering). You got all A's on your report card? Let's go to get an ice-cream. By the time a child is a teenager, food helps them celebrate and often helps to comfort. That was my draw to food. When nothing else felt good. Food made me feel better.
Let's stop judging people and look at the faults of our society as a whole, instead.

United Airlines was in the news for dragging a passenger off an airplane because the flight from Chicago was overbooked.
Comedian Jimmy Kimmel decided to create a fake United Airlines ad to show us how he thinks the airline should be marketing themselves these days. If you need to fly the friendly skies then you might want to choose Southwest Airlines for your next trip since they just beat the competition.

The Tragic Bureaucratic Bungle That Led to the Extinction of the White Rhino
In 2006, there were possibly as many as 15 northern white rhino left in the wild—and, spearheaded by renowned conservationist Lawrence Anthony, a strong movement to protect the species. Today, the white rhino is thought to be extinct in the wild. What happened in those six years is a tragic example of the challenges conservation initiatives face around the world.
Anthony managed to secure the required experts and even funding to launch a full-scale conservation mission for the rhinos. This included equipment like helicopters and dart guns, and conservationists and officers to oversee the plans. The Ambassador of the Democratic Republic of Congo to South Africa supported the project. The Environmental Minister in the DRC was also onboard. So too was a non-profit group called African Parks, which effectively was responsible for the management of Garamba National Park were the rhinos lived.Everything seemed to be in place, but when the proposal was officially submitted, it found resistance from an unlikely source. The ICCN—oddly enough, the Congolese government agency responsible for conservation—cautiously waylaid the project, asking for confirmation that African Parks had agreed to the plan.
"We immediately contacted the ICCN and informed them of African Parks' decision. A few days later we received a response saying that they agreed to the rescue provided African Parks agreed," Anthony explains in his new book The Last Rhinos, "But they have agreed, we replied. And with that the ridiculous merry-go-round started again and we were unable to make any more progress."
The end result, unfortunately, was that the subspecies reached a point of likely extinction in the wild. The sad story offers some insight into the delicate nature of conservation projects—and how, with so many moving pieces, it's very easy for the whole thing to fail.
