Until now, emoji representing women haven’t been, well…representative.
Let’s change that. Google is working to make sure emoji include a wider range of female professions. And now, we’re inviting you to join the movement by coding your own.

Jesus Christ, google...

Bout time we got some prostitute emojis.

Qandeel Baloch case: Brother held for Pakistan celebrity's murder

Quote:The brother of Pakistani social media celebrity Qandeel Baloch has been arrested for her murder.

The brother, Waseem, 25, was arrested in Dera Ghazi Khan in central Pakistan on Saturday night.

The Dawn newspaper said he had confessed to the murder, saying he drugged and strangled her "for dishonouring the Baloch name".

Qandeel Baloch, 26, became a household name for posting sometimes raunchy photographs, comments and videos.

She recently caused controversy by posting pictures of herself alongside a Muslim cleric.

Dawn quoted her brother as saying: "She wasn't aware I was killing her. I gave her a tablet and then strangled her."

Speaking after his arrest, he said: "I am not ashamed. We are Baloch and as Baloch we cannot tolerate [this]".

He pointed to videos his sister had made, and specifically the images taken with the cleric, Mufti Abdul Qavi.

Police said the brother had escaped to Dera Ghazi Khan after the killing in the Karimabad area of Multan early on Saturday morning.

They said he fled with two friends who were still being sought.

Ms Baloch, whose real name was Fouzia Azeem, was buried on Sunday morning in her ancestral village near Dera Ghazi Khan in Punjab province. Images from the scene showed scores of people attending the services.

Mufti Qavi, who said he had forgiven Ms Baloch for her actions, had offered to lead the funeral prayers, reports said.

Started out as I was finishing up restocking on some late season, but still fantastic, juicy and sweetly acidic, New Jersey blueberries; went on as I picked up some super pricey, likely mediocre, but necessary for their texture, Washington rainier cherries; and finished as I gingerly bagged earlyish season, iffy but possibly already good Georgia peaches. The AC system was going strong, to the delight of chubby oldsters pushing their carts; and outside, a perfect HOT American heart of summer day.

There is secretly great music in supermarkets all the time, though admittedly not full blast, so I am guessing that whoever licenses this stuff is getting 70's and 80's stuff cheap.

The funny thing is, I am the only one appreciating it because people automatically tune the music in stores out, especially the staff, and any conversational openers about a Stevie Wonder song or whatever are met with blank stares, and they tell me they can't even hear the music anymore.

So well said both of you. I remember walking through a grocery store hearing those terrible little speakers playing "Living for the City" and looking around wondering is there just ONE person here who can appreciate what an intense and marvelous album that came from.

I think just had an panic attack or anxiety attack. I was practicing with my band when I collapsed to my knees, and dropped my bass. My whole body went numb, especially my face, lips, hands and arms. I was sure I was having a heart attack and that I was going to die. Bandmates called the paramedics, who gave me an EKG and said it wasn't lethal and was likely an anxiety / panic attack. I've never had one of those before and it was scary as fuck. They said it was up to me if i wanted to go with them to the ER but since they said I wasn't gonna die right then and there I declined.

I just got home and feel weird.

Also, have been having strange acid reflux type pains in my solar plexus all day.

Yep.. you should get checked out because there could be something detectable beyond the EKG.

Sure, sometimes even the doctor may not be able to figure out what had caused the issue, but at least, they can run a few tests...

You may also want to consider various things that you are doing in your life, including sleep, diet and exercise... You may also want to practice some breathing techniques, too because it could be possible that you merely hyperventilated.. and I think that regular exercise at least a couple of times a week to start (in case that you are not doing it at all) can help you with breathing, tolerance and to help your body to tolerate various stress limits (that also could lessen some of the likelihood of whatever things in your life had potentially contributed to the "panic attack.")

I'm not just talking out of my ass and theory because I had some kind of similar incident in about early 2011, and actually I did go to the doctor several times over the next couple of years, and part of what I did was attempt to brainstorm with various specialists. It costed me quite a bit of time and money (mostly with the copays and the drugs). The main drug was statins, but I tried some others, too. In the end, I figured out that the doctors were kind of full of shit, but they definitely helped me to figure out for myself how to learn about my body and to better employ a variety of preventative measures including diet, sleep and exercise... In the end, I eliminated all of the drugs, but I could not have arrived at that place without going through the process of brainstorming with various specialists.

I have been under a lot of stress, also related to the band and life in general. It's been mounting. I've been getting practically no sleep as well. And drinking a fuck ton. And smoking a lot of cigs.

At the moment this happened I wasn't upset or mad about anything, though. It just hit me and next thing I knew I was on the floor. Another weird thing is that my hands and fingers cramped up into this weird claw shape and I couldn't move them.

I think those kinds of symptoms could come from dehydration, too, but you also identified some areas in which you could attempt self-help and healing, and personally, i think that your body is giving you a sign, and if you don't take action, you could end up in the morgue.

I know guys frequently get feelings of invincibility and abuse themselves to death in their 20s and 30s, and frequently your body can recover from a considerable amount of abuse in your teens, 20s and 30s, but the older you get the more intolerant and less forgiving your body becomes.

Ultimately, it is up to you how you treat this whole matter and if you attempt to make some adjustments in life. It is quite possible that you just have too many items on your plate and you need to remove one or two items (or more) or to figure out ways to have a bit more down and unwinding time. You have identified several problematic areas, too many activities, drinking, smoking and lack of sleep..

It is possible too that you are so embedded in a lifestyle in which you don't want to make a change and you want to push through it; however, the fact that you even spent the time to write the post (and get potentially criticized by RVF guys) demonstrates that you are, at least temporarily, in a kind of brainstorming receptivity stage regarding possible actions.

One thing is seriously considering the possible actions, and another thing is just attempting to hear what you want to hear, and ultimately it is up to you whether you consider and devise an action plan that is suitable to your situation and attempt to stick with your devised action plan, if any.

My brother used to play guitar obsessively and also carried a lot of stress. He also developed a sort of claw cramp in his hands along with serious muscle issues in his back.

He spent thousands of dollars on various medical approaches, all of which were useless. In the end he determined all his health problems were due to nothing more than stress. He identified every self inflicted stress source and turfed them all. He's recovered quite well since.

Stressing over whether it's the cigarettes or the alcohol and trying to cut these things out of your life might actually make matters worse.

I often thought my stress was due to factors out of my control like world events, but I eventually came tot he conclusion that most of the stress was due to me putting off things I knew I should be doing. Friday night homework syndrome in other words. My lifestyle, diet, etc seems to have little to do with it because whenever I stress over eating right, sleeping right and busting my balls with cardio I often end up feeling worse than ever. Then, I go and do one job I've been putting off for no good reason and suddenly I feel like a million bucks.

Head to your local ER or general physician for a check up. At least get your vitals and basic metabolic panel done. There are lot of issues that can cause your collapse. Dehydration, panic attack, metabolic disturbance or arrhythmias to name a few random causes. Too many variables to give you a definite answer, but cut back on the cigs and alcohol will improve your condition.

Holy shit they landed Falcon 9 back on the ground. Huge.

Just came back from the ER after a second episode in one day. They ran tests, did blood panel, cat scans...ect. All was normal except I have high blood sugar from drinking a lot no doubt. I will take the paperwork to my GP and see where to go from here...

Damn man, i m taking that as a note for myself.
Its a new week and i might as well start curtailing my booze intake

I thought that blood sugars were best tested after fasting for 12 hours.. and then they should be below 100.. and really, diet is much better than meds to fix these kinds of issues.
