Cardinal Dolan says Rihanna borrowed one of his Miters for Met Gala

by , in



While Piers Morgan and some members of the public are criticizing the Met Gala's Catholic theme (Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination), which they say is a "mockery" of the Catholic church, a Catholic church leader has made light of the situation and says he sees nothing wrong with it. 
Cardinal Timothy Dolan, the head of New York’s Roman Catholic diocese, was present at Monday night’s $30,000-a-head Met Gala. He attended both the opening of the exhibition and the Met Gala.
Rihanna stood out at the Met Gala in her bejeweled papal-looking cap and Cardinal Dolan jokes that the miter Riri wore was a loan from him.
Cardinal Dolan said in a Tuesday interview on SiriusXM’s The Catholic Channel: "The news said she was wearing a tiara."
Cardinal Dolan then went on to explain that it wasn't a Tiara, but his miter, which is worn by bishops and cardinal on formal liturgical occasions.
He added: "She gave it back to me this morning. … She was very gracious."
Dolan agreed that the miter was a good match for Rihanna's beaded white corset dress with matching jacket and clutch. 
He joked: "I was teasing my auxiliary bishops, who were teasing me about Rihanna and I said, 'Hey, you guys should not complain because she’s volunteered to do some confirmations'."

He continues: "There were some aspects that looked like kind of a masquerade party, a Halloween party. I didn’t really see anything sacrilegious, I may have seen some things in poor taste, but I didn’t detect anybody out to offend the church."

He added: "A number of people came up and spoke about their Catholic upbringing and things they remembered and it was a powerful evening."
Dolan admitted he’s no fashion expert and said he wasn't at the event for the fashion.
He said: "You think I’d look like this if I was interested in fashion? You think I wouldn’t lose 80 pounds? You’re talking about a JCPenney’s Big & Tall man — that’s where get my fashion, OK?
"You know I wasn’t in there for the fashion, the glitter."

Dolan went to the Met Gala for the displays of actual Catholic relics on loan from the Vatican. The Met Gala theme this year was based on a new exhibit of Vatican-loaned artwork and vestments called "Heavenly Bodies". He admitted he was a "tad apprehensive" about attending the Met Ball, but ball host and Vogue editor Anna Wintour had assured him that organizers would rein in the out-there fashion choices of previous years.
At the exhibition, he said: "What’s the Church doing here? What is the Cardinal-Archbishop of New York doing here? Well, because the Church and 'the Catholic imagination,' are all about truth, goodness, and beauty…"

President Donald Trump has just announced that three American citizens held for months in North Korea have been released.

Kim Dong Chul, Kim Hak-song and Kim Sang Duk were freed during US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's second visit to the North Korean capital of Pyongyang in two months.

The detainees are returning to the United States as Trump prepares to make history by becoming the first sitting US President to meet face-to-face with a North Korean leader.

Trump's administration had previously said that if the North Koreans freed the three Americans, it would be viewed as a goodwill gesture ahead of the planned summit between Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.

"Death to America" Iranian politicians burn US flag in parliament

by , in



Iranian MPs were filmed burning a US flag and chanting "death to America" during a session of parliament, after Donald Trump announced he was pulling out of the country’s nuclear deal.

Iranian politicians held the impromptu protest inside parliament on Wednesday, the day after Trump announced his withdrawal and said he would impose new economic sanctions on Iran. 

The Nuclear deal is a 2015 accord designed to ease international sanctions on Iran in exchange for a series of commitments to show the Middle East nation is not developing nuclear weapons. 

To express their disapproval of Trump's decision, the MPs also burned a piece of paper representing the nuclear deal. 

"Death to America" Iranian politicians burn US flag in parliament after Trump withdraws from Nuclear deal ??????
Iran’s parliament speaker Ali Larijani was among those officials in Tehran who said the deal could still be saved. Ali Larijani told MPs the White House’s decision was a "diplomatic show" that would only serve to isolate the US.
Ali taunted the US President by saying: "Trump does not have the mental capacity to deal with issues."
Also, today, European powers began redoubling their efforts to keep the Nuclear deal alive. The UK, France, Germany and the EU represent the majority of the seven signatories to the accord, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). The others were China, the US, and Iran. France’s foreign minister Jean-Yves Le Drian said the deal is "not dead", but that the US’s actions created a "real risk" of confrontation in the region.

Meghan Markle's dad captured reading articles about his daughter and Prince Harry at a cyber cafe

by , in




Meghan Markle's father was photographed at a public cyber cafe, browsing the internet to read up about his daughter and his future son-in-law.
Though he will walk his daughter down the aisle in 10 days, Thomas Markle Sr. has not met Prince Harry yet, so it's understandable why the 73-year-old needs to do some research.

He was seen in an internet cafe in Rosarito, Mexico, close to where he lives. According to reports, the retired television lighting director regularly visits the internet cafe because he doesn't get a strong connection at his home.

Paws for Thought | Cancer treatment in pets has come far

by , in



Chemotherapy is often a recommended treatment for pets that have been diagnosed with cancer. It helps prolong survival and maintain a good quality of life.
Chemotherapy works by damaging cells that multiply rapidly, aiming to stop the growth and spread of cancer. There are different types of chemotherapy medications that are given depending on the type and stage of the cancer being treated. An individual plan is put together by your vet and an oncologist who work closely together to ensure the best possible care is given.
Chemotherapy is well tolerated in dogs and cats. Side effects that occur are usually mild and recovery is quick. 
Potential side effects are nausea and we will usually give anti-nausea medications to try to pre-empt this, and bone marrow toxicity, which causes low cell counts in the pet’s blood, so we do a lot of extra blood tests, sometimes even weekly, when a pet is treated with chemotherapy to catch this before it causes an issue. 
Hair loss does not tend to occur in pets because they mostly do not have hair that grows continuously. Exceptions are breeds like the poodle.
Most chemotherapy is given via intravenous injection. It is very important that these medications do not go outside of the vein and are therefore given via an intravenous catheter. Less commonly there are chemotherapy medications that are given via an injection under the skin or into the muscle, some are even given orally. The pet has to stay at the clinic for a few hours for the treatment but then is fine to go home afterwards. Sedation is not normally needed.
It is amazing how far we have come in the options we can offer and treat out pets with to help them live long happy lives.
