Justin Timberlake and Ashley Olsen Not Romantically Involved

Justin Timberlake’s rep has denied reports of the singer/actor ‘hooking –up’ with Ashley Olsen, calling it rumors.

Timberlake and former child actor turned entrepreneur, Olsen, were recently seen together at several New York City hot spots. They reportedly dined together at the Greenwich Hotel, attended a Saturday Night Live after-party, a polo match and even checked out the Broadway show Sleep No More.

Timberlake, 30, and Ashley, 24, both recently turned single, presumably triggered fan speculation after being spotted out on the town together.

The two stars have a lot in common: they are both former Disney artists and they both own fashion lines; Justin's collection is named William Rast and Ashley's line, in collaboration with sister Mary-Kate Olsen, is named The Row.

In a recent interview with Vanity fair, Justin talked about his past relationships with Britney Spears and Jessica Biel.

In the interview, which appears in the Magazine’s July issue, Timberlake says Jessica is the most special person in his 30 years of life.

"She is the single-handedly most significant person in my life, I would rather not talk about her, because it's hurtful for me."

He admitted to being ready to settle down saying, “as little as six months ago I wouldn't have even thought about that, but now it feels like a closer planet orbiting around.

Timberlake, it was reported, broke up with Jessica Biel this past March after four years of dating. Ashley Olsen too, around the same month, broke up with actor Justin Bartha after dating him since 2008.

Audrina Patridge Straggling Relationship

Audrina Patridge’s straggling relationship with her beau Corey Bohan, it may be not the last time she finds herself in-between two guys – and with Bohan it can spell trouble.

They had it switched from on to off and on again so often that time and again Patridge is all for sidling up to some other man, but Bohan keeps tabs on her and can get really angry – like this time. When they were apart, the reality star’s show Audrina had an episode out that showed Patridge and polo star Nic Roldan moving to a more personal base, within a day Bohan was strewing threats on Twitter.

His “friendly warning” (that sounded quite rude) said that when he saw Roldan he would rip his head off his shoulders.

In May Patridge, who recently turned 26, and her Australian racer boy, 29, were back together again. Bohan must have been celebrating it, for it wasn’t long before he was hauled in for public intoxication. The Hermosa Beach Police Department filed a charge of misdemeanor and put the racer inside for something like 8 hours, until a $500 bail was posted.

Patridge’s Twitter comment on the incident touched upon the badness of Jack Daniels who does things to people – although it seems that Jack is not the only one who is to blame in this case…

Blake Lively, Leonardo DiCaprio Continue Romance in Venice

Blake Lively was spotted romancing Leonardo DiCaprio in Venice Italy on Thursday, June 2, even as more nude photos, allegedly of her, continued to be posted on the internet.

It was Blake's first public spotting since a hacker posted cell phone photos allegedly showing the Gossip Girl star posing naked.

Blake's rep claimed the photos were 100% fake, prompting the hacker to post another similar set of photos as a challenge to the rep's assertion.

According to People magazine, Blake arrived in Venice on a private jet on Wednesday and checked into Hotel Cipriani with Leonardo.

The next day, the couple took a boat ride and shared some happy times together, giggling as they playfully licked their melting ice-creams.

In the evening, the couple met up with Naomi Campbell and boyfriend Vladimir Doronin.

They spent Friday together by the poolside.

Blake, 23, and Leonardo, 36, were first spotted getting cozy during the Cannes Film Festival and have spent a lot of time together since then in Europe. Last Friday they were spotted taking a romantic stroll in Monte Carlo.

Ryan Phillippe Amanda Seyfried Breakup

The two latest stars purchasing one-way tickets are Ryan Phillippe and Amanda Seyfried — at least that’s the web Us Weekly is weaving. “It was mutual…They were never fully committed,” a source told the mag. They reportedly dated for seven months after meeting at Kate Hudson’s Halloween party and briefly called it quits in February before getting back together in the spring.

Phillippe previously dated Australian actress Abbie Cornish, 28, while Seyfried split with British beau Dominic Cooper, 32, last, ending a three-year relationship. Seyfried enjoyed a romantic weekend break in Santa Barbara with Phillippe on the same late March weekend that his ex-wife, actress Reese Witherspoon, married William Morris agent Jim Toth just a few miles away in Ojai, California.

An unidentified squeal tells Us that Philippe, 36, and the Red Riding Hood star, 25, were “always on and off,” but Seyfried decided to stand by Phillippe when it was revealed last March that he had likely fathered a baby with ex-girlfriend Alexis Knapp.

Lindsay Lohan Electronic Monitoring Device Triggered

House arrest got very interesting for Lindsay Lohan on Monday. The scandal-prone starlet is just a little over a week into a 35 day home detention sentence for “allegedly” shoplifting a necklace from a Venice jewelry store back in January, but the cops came knocking after the house-arrest electronic anklet Lindsay was fitted with was triggered.

And no one is exactly sure why.

Steve Honic, a spokesman for the actress, tells The Los Angeles Times that “as part of standard procedure to make sure the monitoring equipment was working properly” law enforcement officials visited Lohan’s Venice townhouse, where they found her watching her 3D TV, reading scripts, and reading on her rooftop patio. Lohan attorney Shawn Holley says a representative from the monitoring company eventually replaced the “malfunctioning” bracelet with a new one.

“Lindsay’s electronic monitoring system went off on Monday. When a representative from the monitoring company went to her home, the representative found Lindsay there. The equipment was replaced the following day.”

Lohan’s turned her luxurious pad into a personal spa since her confinement. Loose-lipped squeals close to Linds report that the “Mean Girl” has hired Los Angeles-based yoga and wellness firm Kuladevi to educate her “on detoxification and nutrition, yoga and functional fitness training and re-connective healing in private sessions” during her month on house arrest.

“She plans on doing lots of painting, reading, and is enlisting the help of an in-house yoga service to help her relax spiritually and reflect on her future,” says a friend.

Meanwhile, Lindsay was reportedly taking preventative steps to protect herself should she have been sentenced to prison in her theft case.

“Lindsay is absolutely terrified she’d get punched in the face by crazy inmates if she ended up in jail,” tells a source. “She had her people take out a policy in case her nose got broken.”

Sean Penn Scarlett Johansson Call It Quits

They were both on the rebound, had a 25 year age gap, and were only together for about five minutes, but for some reason news of Sean and Scarlett’s split hit the blogosphere like a ton of bricks when PEOPLE Magazine broke the news Thursday evening that the unlikely couple had parted ways after four months of dating.

Jane Lynch Primetime Emmy Host 2011

Emmy Awards moves between the four major US TV networks each year and this fall it’ll be FOX hosting TV’s biggest night. Actors, comedians and late-night talk show hosts have always served as emcees for this evening awards show, which began in 1949. Network execs are confident that Lynch’s irreverant sense of humor would make her an ideal candidate to join the ranks of great Emmy presenters of the past, such as Dancing With the Stars’ Tom Bergeron and NBC late night host Jimmy Fallon. Jane, who plays Glee’s scheming cheerleading coach Sue Sylvester, won the statuette for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy at the 2010 ceremony.

“Jane was my first — and only — choice as the host for this year’s Primetime Emmys, and I am glad she said ‘yes,’” says executive producer Mark Burnett. “She has incredible comedic timing, and is a charismatic, talented actress whose energy leaps off the screen and stage. I am thrilled and excited to have her as our host.”

Lynch is only the third woman to ever host the Emmys solo, following a trend started by Murder She Wrote’s Angela Lansbury in 1993 and continued when Ellen Degeneres did the honors in 2005.

Octomom Fertility Doctor Loses California State Medical License

Michael Kamrava, the doctor who gave Nadya “Octomom” Suelman the fertility treatments that turned the single, unemployed woman already dependent on food stamps for survival into a mother of 14 kids under age 12, has lost the right to practice medicine in the State of California. The state’s medical board revoked Kamrava’s certification on Wednesday after finding that the practitioner endangered “public safety” when he implanted Suleman with multiple embyros in 2008.

She became only the second woman in the United States to ever deliver a full-set of octuplets when her eight youngest children were born in Jan. 2009.

Salman Khan, Asin Captivate Underprivileged Kids at Ready Mumbai Premiere

Salman Khan and Asin captivated everyone at a special preview screening of their film "Ready" for underprivileged kids at Infiniti Mall in Versova, Mumbai on Thursday, June 2.

The two were dressed casually and interacted well with their young audience. Salman sported a cropped haircut, blue T-shirt with the logo of his nonprofit Being Human foundation on it, tattered jeans and a pair of black sandals.

Asin echoed the laidbackness of her costar, with hair worn down, a V-necked LPD cinched with a wide black belt, and open-toed black heels. Makeup was less is more, with beige eye color and pink lipstick. Most interestingly, the 25-year-old Ghajini star wore parrot green polish on her fingers and toes. Her jewelry was wisely kept to a minimum.

Ready is Salman's first film since megahit Dabangg. The film is about a wealthy heir who wants to have fun before having to settle down.

What we love about Sallu Bhai is not only is he an amazing actor but he makes time for worthy causes.

Dabangg 2 Will Take the Story Forward

Arbaaz says he has almost completed the first draft of the film but it will take him some more time to come up with a shooting script. Once he wraps scripting he will work on the music, sign the cast and start pre-production to take the film on floor by the beginning of next year.

She will will take home more than $40,000 in cash and prizes. Sukanya Roy became the fourth consecutive Indian-American, and the ninth Indian American to win the title in the last 12 years.The ultimate test for school kids, the Scripps National Spelling Bee has been wrung into an inspiring novel, a documentary, a feature film and a Broadway musical. So what makes Indians click at contests like the Spelling Bee? Is it their penchant for the language, their ability to study by rote, or is it their desire to stand out in the crowd of immigrants that have made the US their home?

Here are a few Indian-Americans who won the Scripps National Spelling Bee contest:

Anamika Veeramani in 2010: The 14-year-old from North Royalton, Ohio, successfully spelled the words ‘Juvia’ and ‘Stromuhr’ to become the Bee’s 83rd champion. Repeating the community’s feat of 2005, when Anurag Kashyap, Aliya Deri, Samir Patel and Rajiv Tarigopula won the top four positions.

Kavya Shivshankar in 2009: Kavya Shivshankar of Olethe, Kansas, spelt the word ‘Laodicean’ to claim the title in 2009. Kavya who finished fourth in 2008, cracked words like ‘Escritoire’, ‘Hydrargyrum’, ‘Blancmange’, ‘Baignoire’, ‘Ecossaise’, ‘Diacoele’, ‘Bouquiniste’, ‘Isagoge’, and ‘Phoresy’ to win the coveted title.

Sameer Mishra in 2008: After watching his sister’s unsuccessful attempt to win the Scripps National Spelling Bee, Sameer Mishra set himself on a mission to win the Scripps. And he did it in style when he aced the word ‘Guerdon’ to win the 81st National Spelling Bee contest. Sameer became the first speller to win the title after misspelling his onstage word in the preliminary round.

Anurag Kashyap in 2005: Correctly spelling the word ‘Appoggiatura’, Anurag Kashyap clinched the 2005 edition of the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Anurag whizzed through relatively common words such as ‘Prosciutto’, an Italian dry-cured ham, and difficult ones such as ‘Sphygmomanometer’, an instrument for measuring blood pressure.

Sai R. Gunturi in 2003: Sai R. Gunturi, a 13-year-old from Dallas, Texas, won the 76th Annual Scripps Howard National Spelling Bee with the word ‘Pococurante’. He survived 15 rounds to emerge as the 2003 national champion. Among the words Sai spelt correctly en route to the title were ‘Marmoraceous’, ‘Mistassini’, ‘Solfeggio’, ‘Voussoir’, ‘Halogeton’, ‘Dipnoous’, ‘Peirastic’, and ‘Rhathymia’.

Pratyush Buddiga in 2002: Pratyush Buddiga won the 75th Annual Scripps National Spelling Bee when he correctly spelt the word ‘Prospicience’ in the 11th round.

George Abraham Thampy in 2000: Nicknamed ‘Georgie’, George Abraham Thampy of St Louis, Missouri, spelt the word ‘Demarche’ to win the 73rd edition of the Scripps National Spelling Bee contest. Thampy also competed in the National Geographic Bee in 2000, taking second place in that competition one week before he won the National Spelling Bee.

Nupur Lala in 1999: She spelt the word ‘Logorrhea’ to be crowned the champion of the 72nd Scripps National Spelling Bee. She edged out David Lewandowski who missed out on the word ‘Opsimath’. She was also a part of the 2002 documentary ‘Spellbound’, that followed eight competitors in the 1999 Scripps National Spelling Bee. The film was nominated for the Academy Award for Documentary Feature.

Rageshree Ramachandran in 1988: Rageshree Ramachandran won the Bee when she was in the eighth grade – her winning word was ‘Elegiacal’. At age 15, she won a $10,000 Westinghouse Science Talent Search scholarship and always lists her championship on her resumes and applications.

Balu Natarajan in 1985: In 1985, Balu Natarajan beat out his competitors by spelling ‘Milieu’ to become an overnight sensation for the Indian-American community. Now a doctor of sports medicine, Balu Natarajan was quoted as saying, “Indian record on spelling bees gives the community quite a bit of confidence that we can do well here, much like other ethnicities pursuing the American dream.”

Just like big names from the film industry and celebrities from other walks of life, Indians who have won the Scripps National Spelling Bee contest have given the Indian community a reason to believe that they too can achieve a lot in a country that they migrated to and dream to live the great American life.

DiCaprio Lively Pictures

Just Lean or Too Bony: LeAnn Rimes

RadarOnline has called in an expert in an attempt to settle the dispute over LeAnn Rimes’s appearance that raged through the weekend on Twitter. Quite a number of people reacted (or overreacted) to the country artist’s figure that has evidently gotten leaner still.

As Rimes tried to tweet back to a comment that sounded especially biting, calling the 28-year-old singer’s body “scary skinny,” it had only served to fan the flame.

What sticks out is abs, not bones, replied the singer, adding that she is quite healthy and “just lean.” But it seems that few health experts could endorse that view.

RadarOnline relegated the issue to Dr. Majid Ali, a member of the American Board of Anatomic & Clinical Pathology and editor of the Journal of Integrative Medicine, who – though he did not treat Rimes – is undoubtedly in a position to utter judgment. What he said went contrary to the Grammy-winning artist’s arguments.

Dr. Ali was certain that Rimes’ body shows not abs but pelvic bones, which means she is extremely underweight, and she definitely does not look as she should. He estimated her weight at around 100 pounds – a condition he called “dripping wet.”

Rimes does look different in older photos taken before she got married to Eddie Cibrian. Dr. Ali said her weight was something like 135 pounds which suits her constitution much better – making it a clear case of unhealthy weight loss.

Rimes’ reps failed to offer any comment on that so far. The singer stated in a Twitter message in April that she neither overstrained herself nor cut down on her meals.

5 Alasan Mantan Kekasih Masih Mengirim SMS

Oke, hubungan Anda dan si dia sudah berakhir. Tapi sang mantan masih saja mengirimkan pesan teks ke ponsel Anda; lewat SMS maupun Blackberry Messenger (BBM). Hal yang dibicarakan pun tidak terlalu penting, misalnya menanyakan keadaan atau apa yang sedang Anda lakukan.

Anda pun bertanya-tanya, apa maksudnya mengirimkan pesan teks setelah putus? Ada beberapa kemungkinan, yang salah satunya mungkin sesuai dengan kondisi Anda saat ini.

1. Perasaan dan Emosi Tidak Hilang Begitu Saja
Ikatan emosional yang telah terjalin lama dan intens saat masih berhubungan, tidak bisa hilang segera setelah kekasih memutusnya. Perasaan cinta atau sayang mungkin masih tertinggal beberapa bulan bahkan tahunan setelah hubungan berakhir.

2. Merindukan Kebersamaan
Terlepas dari sang mantan masih atau sudah tidak mencintai Anda, pasti ada rasa rindu akan momen-momen yang telah dilewatinya bersama Anda walau sekecil apapun. Maka wajar saja jika mantan terkadang masih suka mengirimi SMS atau BBM, karena merasa ada yang hilang dari dirinya.

3. Merasa Bersalah
Jika si pria yang memutuskan hubungan, kemungkinan ada rasa bersalah yang menghinggapinya. Dia masih peduli dan khawatir keadaan mantan kekasihnya pasca putus. Untuk mengobati rasa bersalah itu, biasanya pria akan mengirim SMS atau BBM untuk sekedar menanyakan keadaan wanita yang pernah dicintainya.

4. 'Mengikat' Perasaan Wanitanya
Ada kalanya keputusan besar diambil saat emosi seseorang tidak stabil atau marah besar, termasuk ketika mengakhiri hubungan. Dikutip dari ezineartciles, anyak pria yang terlanjur mengucap kata 'putus' padahal dia belum yakin apakah tindakannya itu benar atau tidak. Untuk memastikannya, biasanya pria akan mencoba 'mengikat' mantannya dengan tetap mengiriminya SMS atau BBM. Kalau-kalau dia berubah pikiran dan ingin kembali padanya.

5. Tidak Ingin Putus Tali Silaturahmi
Meskipun sudah putus, pria mungkin masih ingin menjalin hubungan baik dengan mantan kekasihnya. Mungkin alasan ini terdengar klise dan sepertinya sulit dijalankan, tapi jika ada kesempatan untuk tetap berteman, pria akan mencoba berkomunikasi dengan mantan kekasihnya sesekali.

Setelah tahu beberapa kemungkinan yang paling umum, apa yang sebaiknya dilakukan? Mengabaikan atau membalas pesan teks darinya? Anda bisa melihatnya dari dua sisi. Jika Anda merasa tidak ada pentingnya memiliki koneksi dalam bentuk apapun, sebaiknya jangan merespon SMS atau BBM nya sama sekali. Lakukan hal yang sama bila menurut Anda, masih berhubungan dengannya hanya akan menambah rasa sakit.

Tapi bila Anda masih mengharapkan mantan kembali, tak ada salahnya membalas SMS nya. Namun sebaiknya Anda tidak segera membalas begitu menerima pesan teks darinya.

Dilansir ezinearticles, buat dia sedikit penasaran dengan tidak SMS atau BBM balik beberapa lama. Dengan begitu, dia akan tertantang untuk menelepon Anda. Berbicara langsung lewat telepon hanya memberinya sedikit waktu untuk memikirkan apa yang ingin diucapkan. Jadi, Anda bisa tahu perasaan dia yang sebenarnya dibandingkan hanya melalui pesan teks.

Sejarah Yogurt Sejak Tahun 5000 SM

Tak sengaja ditemukan di sebuah zaman, sampai sekarang “susu basi” ini jadi hidangan lezat nan sehat.

SEJAK ratusan atau ribuan tahun lalu yogurt diyakini sebagai nutrisi kesehatan. Banyak orang mengkonsumsinya secara rutin. Selain meningkatkan daya tahan tubuh, yogurt berkhasiat menurunkan kadar kolesterol jahat dan menyembuhkan radang sendi.

Sejak Zaman Mesopotamia 5000 SM

Tak ada yang tahu pasti kapan dan bagaimana yogurt ditemukan. Neil R. Gazel dalam Beatrice: From Buildup Through Breakup mencatat apa yang sekarang dikenal sebagai yogurt mungkin sudah dikenal sejak zaman batu. Ia sudah disebutkan dalam Iliad karya Homerus dan Injil. Sementara Don Tribby dalam “Yogurt”, dimuat dalam buku The Sensory Evaluation of Dairy Products karya Stephanie Clark, Michael Costello, Floyd W. Bodyfelt, dan Maryanne Drake menyebut yogurt sudah ada sejak zaman Mesopotamia sekira tahun 5000 SM, tanpa kesengajaan.

Kala itu para penggembala di Mesopotamia terbiasa membawa susu kambing atau domba dalam kantong berbahan perut hewan –yang secara alami mengandung enzim chymosin. Dalam beberapa jam susu menggumpal. Para penggembala pun heran dan berpikir kualitas susu sudah menurun. Tapi mereka tetap mengkonsumsinya. Lambat laun, mereka lebih suka susu beku ketimbang susu murni nan segar.


Kefir dan Kumiss

Orang-orang di kawasan Kaukasus, Rusia, yang nomaden juga punya tradisi memproduksi dan mengkonsumsi yogurt, yang mereka sebut kefir, sejak berabad-abad silam. Karena bermanfaat bagi kesehatan, kefir memiliki reputasi sebagai “minuman penyembuh” dan “hadiah dari para dewa”. Di timur, orang-orang Mongolia menyebutnya kumiss. Jenghis Khan salah satu yang paling gandrung makanan ini. Dia suka rasanya. Sampai-sampai dia mengeluarkan perintah resmi agar pasukannya, dari jenderal hingga budak terendah, mengkonsumsinya secara teratur. Setelah menaklukkan Mongolia pada 1215, “Khan percaya bahwa sebagian keberhasilan militernya dikaitkan dengan fakta bahwa pasukannya tetap kuat dan sehat dengan mengkonsumsi produk bergizi, kumiss,” tulis Don Tribby.

Eropa Barat 1500 M

Eropa Barat baru mulai bersinggungan dengan yogurt pada 1500-an. Ini berawal dari sakit diare kronis yang diderita Raja Prancis Francois I dan tak sembuh-sembuh meski berulangkali berobat. Raja Suleiman I mengirimkan seorang dokter dari Konstantinopel, Turki. Si dokter memberikan ramuan yang terbuat dari fermentasi susu domba kepada Francois I dan … sembuh. Francois I menyebarluaskan kemujaraban yogurt. Orang-orang Eropa pun mulai mengenal yogurt.

Pada awal 1900-an yogurt mendapat perhatian global. Ini berkat jasa bakteriolog Rusia Ilya Metchnikov yang mempublikasikan risetnya. Dia meneliti panjangnya umur rata-rata orang etnis tertentu di Bulgaria. Terpengaruh oleh Dr Stamen Grigorov, pakar mikrobiologi Bulgaria lulusan Jenewa yang kali pertama menemukan bakteri yang jadi elemen dasar pembentuk yogurt, lactobacillus bulgaricus, dia melakukan riset. Hasilnya, dia mendapati bahwa rata-rata orang Bulgaria mengkonsumsi yogurt ataupun produk-produk susu lainnya. “Dia menerima Hadiah Nobel (Fisiologi atau Kedokteran tahun 1908) dan popularitas yogurt pun meningkat secara signifikan,” tulis Don Tribby.


Kata Yogurt Berasal Dari Turki

Orang-orang Turki merupakan salah satu pengonsumsi awal yogurt. Sebelum menetap di Semenanjung Anatolia, mereka adalah nomaden, “yang terpaksa menyimpan susu perahan ternak mereka agar tak kelaparan,” tulis Ishtla Singh dalam “Bahasa, Pikiran dan Representasi”, dimuat dalam Bahasa, Masyarakat, dan Kekuasaan. Kutadgu Bilig karya Yusuf Has Hajib dan Diwan Lughat al-Turk karya Mahmud Kashgari mencatat penggunaan yogurt oleh mereka pada masa Abad Pertengahan. Kata “yogurt” sendiri berasal dari bahasa Turki, bermakna ”yang akan dibekukan atau digumpalkan, untuk mengentalkan”.

Setidaknya pada 1784, imigran Turki memperkenalkan yogurt ke Amerika. Tapi popularitas yogurt dimulai pada akhir 1930-an dan 1940a-n ketika Columbo dan Danone (kemudian menjadi Dannon) memulai bisnis yogurt.

Isaac Carasso, imigran Yunani di Spanyol, salah satu yang menjadikan yogurt sebagai produk industri. Pada 1919, dia merintis bisnis kecil-kecilan di Barcelona. Lewat perusahaan Danone (“Daniel kecil”), usahanya berkembang pesat. Tujuh tahun kemudian dia mendirikan pabrik lain di Paris, Prancis. Anak Isaac, Daniel Carasso, mengambil-alih kendali perusahaan ketika ayahnya meninggal pada 1940.

Ketika Mei 1940 Jerman menduduki Prancis, Nazi menyita pabrik Danone. Daniel mengungsi ke New York dan membeli Oxy-Gala, perusahaan yogurt di Bronx, dan mengganti namanya jadi Danone –lalu Dannon, khusus untuk AS. Meski merangkak, Dannon terus maju. Mereka juga melakukan sejumlah inovasi. Pada 1947, Dannon memperkenalkan yogurt dengan tambahan selai dan rasa buah agar lebih menarik bagi selera Amerika. Di Amerika, Dannon harus bersaing dengan produsen serupa yang sudah hadir duluan. Para imigran Turki sudah memperkenalkan yogurt ke daratan Amerika pada akhir abad ke-18.

Reputasinya sebagai makanan kesehatan membuat yogurt populer di sana. Pada penghujung 1950-an, Dannon sebagai penguasa pasar berhasil menjualnya hampir senilai tiga juta dolar per tahun. Belum lagi merek-merek lain dan produk yang diproduksi di bisnis susu di AS yang tumbuh paling cepat dalam dekade terakhir. Namun, itu masih belum apa-apa bila dibandingkan dengan Eropa.

“Konsumsi per kapita kita sangat kecil dibandingkan dengan orang Eropa. Pada 1980, orang Amerika rata-rata hanya sanggup menghabiskan 2,6 pound (sekitar 5 cangkir), sedangkan rata-rata orang Prancis 40 cangkir, orang Belanda 60 cangkir, dan Swiss 300,” lanjut New York Magazine.

Orang Eropa merupakan konsumen yogurt terbesar. Mereka pula yang kemungkinan besar membawa masuk yogurt ke Hindia Belanda. Di situsweb salah satu produsen yogurt nasional, Cimory, tertulis bahwa sapi-sapi di peternakan itu, yang diambil susunya, kali pertama dibawa dari Belanda. Kelebihan sapi Belanda: tinggi kalsium. Di Bandung, kafe Cisangkuy yang berdiri sejak 1969 dikenal sebagai penyedia aneka yogurt.

Kini, yogurt diproduksi dalam beragam bentuk, metode pembuatan, cita rasa, kandungan lemak, dan proses pascafermentasi. Silakan Anda pilih. Dijamin lezat dan sehat.

Misteri Ramalan Kartu Tarot

Banyak media baik di TV, radio, koran, dan majalah telah menayangkan ramalan dengan menggunakan kartu tarot. Banyak yang tertarik, namun mungkin tidak banyak yang mengetahui apa itu sebenarnya kartu tarot. Namun selama ini ramalan Tarot identik dengan kaum gypsi. Jika anda sendiri kurang mengerti tentang seluk beluk ramalan kartu Tarot ini yah bisa dimaklumi karena memang ramalan ini lebih populer di dunia metafisik barat.

Hingga kini asal muasal kartu tarot masih berupa misteri. Banyak versi asumsi dan teori mengenai asal munculnya pertama kali kartu Tarot ini. Ada sebagian ahli yang menyatakan kartu Tarot ini berasal dari India dan ada juga yang menyatakan berasal di Mesir. Namun catatan sejarah mengenainya ada di Italy, dimana kartu Tarot muncul pertama kali dipergunakan sebagai medium ramalan selain sebagai kartu permainan di Italy pada abad 14 dan kartu ini dulunya bernama Tarroci. Sejarah keberadaan kartu Tarot banyak yang hilang ketika di abad pertengahan kaum gereja membakar banyak kartu tarot dan hal-hal yang berkaitan dengannya karena dianggap sebagai kartu setan dan sebagai medium paganisme (Hingga sekarang pun masih banyak orang yang beranggapan demikian).

Adapun struktur kartu ini sedikit berbeda dengan kartu remi (kartu bridge). Dimana kartu remi terdiri dari 54 kartu sedangkan di dalam kartu tarot terdiri dari 78 kartu. Di dalam kartu remi terbagi menjadi 4 jenis kartu yakni: kartu keriting, buah hari, wajik dan waru. Sedangkan di dalam kartu tarot terbagi menjadi dua jenis yakni: Major Arcana (Arkana mayor) dan Minor Arcana (Arkana minor). Arkana berarti rahasia atau simbol. Arkana mayor terdiri dari 22 kartu yang dimulai dari angka 0 yang dilambangkan sebagai The Fool (si bodoh) dan di akhiri dengan angka 21 yang dilambangkan sebagai The World (Duniawi). Arkana minor terbagi lagi menjadi 4 lambang: tongkat, pedang, koin dan cangkir. Di dalam arkana minor masing-masing lmabang dimulai dengan kartu berangka 1 atau disebut juga dengan Ace (kartu as) dan diakhir dengan angka 10 serta dilengkapi 4 kartu kerajaan atau disebut sebagai Court Cards. Kartu kerajaan (Court Cards) ini dimulai dengan kartu dayang-dayang (page), kemudian Ksatria (Knight), dilanjutkan dengan Ratu (Queen) kemudian diakhir dengan kartu Raja (King).

Kartu Arkana Mayor (rahasia besar) mengandung nilai filosofis yang tinggi dan melambangkan perjalanan manusia dari usia bayi (yang dilambangkan sebagai The Fool atau si bodoh) hingga mencapai nirvana (yang dilambangkan sebagai The World atau Duniawi). Biasanya dalam peramalan, kemunculan kartu Arkana mayor memiliki arti yang lebih mendalam dibandingkan dengan kartu Arkana Minor (rahasia kecil).

Kartu Arkana minor memiliki 4 lambang berbeda yang mengandung arti yang berbeda-beda dan spesifik. Keberadaan kartu Arkana Minor melengkapi detail-detail peramalan dalam sesi konsultasi.

Dalam kondisi tertentu, beberapa peramalan tarot juga mempergunakan inteprestasi elemen dalam peramalan. Terdapat 4 elemen di dalam kartu Tarot yakni: elemen air, api, udara dan tanah. Semua kartu baik di dalam golongan Arkana Mayor maupun Arkana Minor mengandung ke 4 elemen tersebut.

Di dunia modern, banyak psikolog maupun psikiater mempergunakan teknik peramalan dengan kartu tarot untuk membantu menganalisa kejiwaan klien. Dalam kondisi-kondisi tertentu, simbol-simbol di dalam kartu tarot banyak kaitannya dengan teori psikoanalisis nya Freud. Misalnya: kartu Arkana Mayor berangka 8 yang dilambangkan sebagai The Strength (kekuatan). Di dalam kartu ini tergambar seorang wanita sedang menaklukan seekor singa dengan kekuatan kelembutannya. Hal ini jika muncul di dalam peramalan, menggambarkan pergolakan batin dari seorang klien dalam usahanya menaklukan konflik batin antara emosi, ego, dan nafsu kebinantangan.

Banyak sekali kegunaan dan manfaat yang bisa diperoleh dengan memperdayakan kartu Tarot sebagai medium. Adapun penilaian bahwa ramalan ini mengandung kekuatan mistis dan klenik, semua itu dikembalikan kepada manusianya dan juga si peramal itu sendiri.

Wow Sifat Kepiting Ternyata Ada Didalam Diri Manusia!!

Sobat semua pasti sudah tahu dengan yang namanya kepiting. Kepiting dapat mudah ditemui di tambak-tambak atau sawah (kepiting sawah). Hewan ini seringkali kita konsumsi sebagai lauk saat makan. Selain rasanya enak, kepiting ini juga mempunyai banyak gizi walaupun dagingnya hanya sedikit. Namun tahukah sobat bahwa kepiting mempunyai satu sifat khas? Sifat khas kepiting itu juga ada dalam diri manusia. Semoga sobat tidak mempunyai sifat kepiting. Mengapa? Kita simak ulasan berikut tentang kepiting.

Di Filipina, masyarakat pedesaan gemar sekali menangkap dan memakan kepiting sawah. Kepiting itu ukurannya kecil namun rasanya cukup lezat. Kepiting-kepiting itu dengan mudah ditangkap di malam hari, lalu dimasukkan ke dalam baskom/wadah, tanpa diikat. Keesokkan harinya, kepiting-kepiting ini akan direbus dan lalu disantap untuk lauk selama beberapa hari. Yang paling menarik dari kebiasaan ini, kepiting-kepiting itu akan selalu berusaha untuk keluar dari baskom, sekuat tenaga mereka, dengan menggunakan capit-capitnya yang kuat.

Namun seorang penangkap kepiting yang handal selalu tenang meskipun hasil
buruannya selalu berusaha meloloskan diri. Resepnya hanya satu, yaitu si pemburu tahu betul sifat si kepiting.

Bila ada seekor kepiting yang hampir meloloskan diri keluar dari baskom, teman-temannya pasti akan menariknya lagi kembali ke dasar. Jika ada lagi yang naik dengan cepat ke mulut baskom, lagi-lagi temannya akan menariknya turun dan begitu seterusnya sampai akhirnya tidak ada yang berhasil keluar. Keesokan harinya sang pemburu tinggal merebus mereka semua dan matilah sekawanan kepiting yang dengki itu.


Sobat sudah paham tentang sifat kepiting? Ya, kepiting rupanya mempunyai sifat dengki yang parah. Mereka sama sekali tidak mau melihat teman-temannya kabur dari baskom. Sifat itulah yang harus kita hindari. Seharusnya dengan melihat teman-teman kita sukses, kita sepantasnya merasa ikut bahagia. Bukan sebaliknya.

Pertanda seseorang adalah ‘kepiting’:

1. Selalu mengingat kesalahan pihak luar (bisa orang lain atau situasi) yang sudah lampau dan menjadikannya suatu prinsip/pedoman dalam bertindak.

2. Banyak mengkritik tapi tidak ada perubahan.

3. Hobi membicarakan kelemahan orang lain tapi tidak mengetahui kelemahan dirinya sendiri sehingga ia hanya sibuk menarik kepiting-kepiting yang akan keluar dari baskom dan melupakan usaha pelolosan dirinya sendiri.

Bila kita pikir kembali, seharusnya kepiting-kepiting itu tolong-menolong keluar dari baskom, namun dibutuhkan jiwa yang besar untuk melakukannya. Ayo, kita hindari sifat kepiting.
