Miriam Margolyes honest response after being asked how many lovers she has

Image
Miriam Margolyes has revealed she doesn’t count her past lovers. The Harry Potter star, 81, was asked how many women he ‘admires’ during a sordid interview on Australian breakfast radio on Tuesday. The British actress, who is gay and has been in a relationship with historian Heather Sutherland since 1967, told The Kyle and Jackie O Show she didn’t know her ‘sex number’ but said she prioritized quality over quantity. Miriam Margolyes (photo from 2011) has revealed that she doesn’t count her past lovers After learning that Margolyes was a lesbian and had been with the same woman for 54 years, host Kyle Sandilands asked her: ‘How many women have you loved?’ “I honestly don’t know who he is,” he replied. ‘I don’t count. When you’re in the middle of a sexual act, you don’t think how much I’ve had, how much I’ve done.’ Sandilands said he had stopped counting after hitting three, to which Margolyes responded: ‘Oh, you are someone who loves numbers. ‘I like quality over quantity.’

Little Rompers baby shop: Embarrassing response for new moms

A new mother is horrified while shopping online after a store employee texts her rudely. Paige Gavenlock contacted baby shop Little Rompers on Facebook about buying a stroller on Sunday, when an employee called her ‘dumb c***’, a screenshot revealed. Darwin’s mother asked: ‘Hey guys, do you have any carbon stocks in Uppababy vistav2?’ The employee replied, saying: ‘Unfortunately, the V2 is sold by the basket, and the colors you mention are exclusive to Baby Bunting. You stupid.’ Gavenlock told Daily Mail Australia he was ‘deeply shocked’ and when he saw the message he assumed it was from a fake Facebook account for the shop. “Then when it became clear that it was actually a message from the staff working at the shop, I was completely embarrassed, still in shock and utterly disgusted,” the young mother said. When he complained to the shop, he was told the female employee was ‘a bit of a rough diamond’, and he typed the message without intending to send it, ‘as a joke’. Little Rom

How Does Reducing Gravity Affect Astronaut Muscles and Nerve Response? - Neuroscience News

Summary: Researchers reveal how astronauts can avoid the neuromuscular problems that occur as a result of extended space travel. Source: Doshisha University Among the many functions performed by skeletal muscles, one of them is maintaining our posture. If it weren’t for these muscles, the gravitational pull of the earth might make it difficult for us to get up and walk. The group of muscles—mostly in our legs, back and neck—that are responsible for maintaining posture and allowing us to move against the force of gravity are called ‘anti-gravity’ muscles. But what happens to these muscles when there is no gravity (or “unloading” force of gravity) to counteract them? That question may sound silly to some, but not to an astronaut on the International Space Station (ISS)! In space, where gravity is minimal, our muscles (especially anti-gravity ones) are not used much, which can lead to atrophy and changes in their structure and properties. In fact, human calf muscles are known to decre

NIH researchers decode retinal circuitry for circadian rhythm, pupillary light response

The eye’s light-sensing retina taps different circuits depending on whether it produces image-forming vision or performs non-visual functions such as regulating pupil size or the sleep/wake cycle, according to a new mouse study from the National Eye Institute. NEI) and the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH). These findings could have implications for understanding how our eyes help regulate mood, digestion, sleep and metabolism. NEI and NIMH are part of the National Institutes of Health. “We know a lot about the pathways involved in image-forming vision, but until now it was unknown whether and how non-image-forming visual behavior depended on these same pathways in the eye,” says Johan Pahlberg, Ph.D., head of Photoreceptor Physiology Group at NEI and senior author of the study. Vision begins when light enters the eye and hits the light-sensing photoreceptors of the retina. Photoreceptors transfer signals through several layers of retinal neurons before they are sent to th
