Big Bums And Thighs OK, But Not Beer Bellies

A NEW health study by Oxford University suggests that large buttocks and heavy thighs are a ultimate deterrent against heart and metabolic diseases.

Hip and backside fat is instrumental in using the hormone adiponectin, which protects the arteries, and aids blood sugar control and cardiovascular problems.

The hormone soaks up treacherous fatty acids and has an anti-flammatory element thwarting artery clogging. While the research supports large hips, buttocks, and thighs, it sees rotund bellies as a dangerous accoutrement to good health. The study was published in the International Journal of Obesity.

"Fat around the hips and thighs is good for you," said lead researcher Dr Konstantinos Manopoulos. "But around the tummy it is bad."

Cherokee Nation Search Among Clans For Scottish Ancestor

THE CHEROKEE Nation is sending a delegation to the next International Gathering of The Clans, to uncover the mystery of a celebrated ancestor named Ludovick Grant of Clan Grant. The Scot was captured after the battle of Prestonpans in 1715, during the rebellion and instead of being hanged was sent to America as an indentured servant. After his time was served, he spent thirty years amongst the Cherokee indians, taking a common-law wife named Eughioote which produced a daughter Mary. The daughter married within the Cherokee nation, and many of today's tribe can trace their ancestry back to Ludovick and his daughter Mary. The Scot had been married in Edinburgh to Margaret Redwood, five years before his capture, but never saw her again after his forced deportation.
