Women and work in the Gulf
The notion of women going to work in the Gulf is gaining traction; so much so that it could be women themselves now creating the biggest barrier, at least in the UAE.
November 30, 2010 1:00 by Eva Fernandes
The Gulf News this week reported developments at the second annual Women in Leadership WIL forum. The bottom line? There is still plenty of room for women in the private sector. And it's true, there is. But as women like Fatima Al Jaber, chief operating officer at Al Jaber Group, realize, there are more complex barriers than people realize. Al Jaber was voted by Forbes Arabia the 7th most influential woman in the Arab world in 2008; speaking to Gulf News at the event, she said "I also feel that at times, women are their own enemies."
Growing up with an education that focused on women's struggle for equality, the importance of women's rights is something I have been always conscious of; but for the most part never really felt relevant to my life. When it comes to high school education, I have no complaints that the boys received better instruction or were offered a more challenging range of subjects. When it came to university applications, again I felt no discrimination of any sort; unlike the women who once had to fight for their right to a seat in university (indeed, many still do), I was confident acceptance into university was based primarily on merit. But it was only after I graduated that I began to notice the presence of gender bias in the UAE – but a self imposed bias.
Having studied journalism, international relations, and political science at a local university, I had the privilege of being surrounded by strong, passionate and aggressive fellow female students. Together we argued, in the very idealistic way only university students can, about the many woes of the world. More importantly, we devised plans to correct them. "My NGO will be able to mitigate world poverty" one might loftily claim, "But my new political order will help achieve stability in the Middle East" was another's retort. And all the while, very rarely did the discussion about gender discrimination in the UAE creep in.
Not that we weren't aware of it; I always felt very sorry for the random guy who decided to sign up for Women Studies courses, which generally stirred up feminist feelings. But our feelings were always directed towards the general cause of women. We argued from a standpoint of being privileged enough not to face any of the discrimination, though we felt the responsibility to work for less fortunate women.

A good start would be better maternity leave provisions.
When I started to read the piece I imagined it was going to be about women realising how working outside their homes was a double-edged sword, because while on the one hand you were expected to fulfill your professional responsibilities, having a job by no means exempted you from your discharging your personal "duties" at home! That is one big reason why a lot of women, in the UAE and the rest of the world, opt to stay at home. I am no big advicate of married bliss and domesticity, but I have to ask this question of the writer – how can you expect anything different from these women? These are the expectations and tenets on which their lives have been built, and they are definitely going to reflect their upbringing in all their actions and decisions. Why are we so astonished? Why do we call this a "crying shame"? It might or it might not, but really, who are we, to be sitting in judgement on what is essentially a matter of personal choice (and that includes cultural choice) in the United Arab Emirates??

Dr. Jason Lane, a 1999 graduate of Southeast Missouri State University and a faculty member at the State University of New York at Albany, is in Dubai as a participant in the 2009-2010 Fulbright New Century Scholar program.
Thirty-five academics from across the globe were selected from several hundred to participate in the program in which they are studying how universities can expand their roles in generating solutions to global challenges, advancing economic and community development and improving quality of life. The Scholars, he says, are exploring universities as innovators and knowledge centers. Some of his colleagues are engaged in innovative work like improving seaweed manufacturing and boosting water supplies in arid countries. Jason says he is examining organizational innovations and how institutions are designed to foster innovation. Specifically, he says he is examining the role international branch campuses play in local development and how they affect the development of the domestic higher education market.
Jason plans to spend two months in Dubai, and will make a return trip there next year. During that time, he will meet with policy makers and university administrators in Dubai, which is home to 25 campuses from other countries.
A number of educational institutions, including schools such as Michigan State University (MSU), Texas A&M and New York University have opened "brick and mortar" campuses in the Middle East designed to serve the local population and from which students may earn a degree, Jason said. His fellowship is being hosted by MSU.
Branch campuses are a way for institutions to increase their share of the global higher education market as well as expand their international prominence, Jason said. Universities are increasingly recognized as significant contributors to economic and social development in the developing world, he said.
"Because of their historic role as knowledge incubators and protectors of ideas, the university has an abundance of capital it can use to help address many of the world's problems," he said. "Part of our collective efforts is to investigate successful and innovative ways in which universities are engaging with society to address these problems."
While Jason is being hosted by Michigan State-Dubai, he will visit several campuses in both Dubai and Qatar. Both the Dubai International Academic City and Qatar Education City are designed to support the development of International Branch Campuses, "although we are seeing these IBCs opening in several countries across the world," he said.
Jason's fellow scholars are investigating other higher education innovations across the globe. The group met in Washington, D.C., last spring and will convene again in Berlin in the fall. They will come together for one final session next spring in Washington, D.C.
Jason, a Troy, Ill., native, is a former Student Government president at Southeast where he earned a bachelor of science degree with a major in political science and a minor in business.
"I certainly would not be doing what I am doing today had it not been for my experiences at Southeast," he said. "My interest in higher education and politics started while a political science student. And, I really started studying the organization and governance of universities during my two-year terms as Student Government president. I was probably the only student who memorized all of the strategic planning priorities for the University at the time. But, I was passionate about learning as much as I could about the University, how it operated and how it could be improved."
Jason had the opportunity to work as a student in the Southeast President's Office during the administrations of former president Dr. Dale Nitzschke and current president Dr. Kenneth W. Dobbins, and during the tenure of former Board of Regents President Donald Dickerson and former Associate to the President Art Wallhausen. These administrators, Jason said, "provided me a solid foundation for understanding the realities of higher education that could only be understood from the perspective of that office."
Jason just completed his second year at the State University of New York at Albany. There, he is an assistant professor in the Department of Educational Administration and Policy Studies and an affiliate faculty member of the Comparative International Education Policy Program as well as the Rockefeller School of Public Affair's Public Policy Program. Prior to that, he served on the faculty at the University of North Dakota for four years. He attended graduate school at Penn State University. He currently teaches courses related to public policy, politics and the administration of postsecondary educational institutions. His research focuses on the relationship between higher education institutions and governments.
Jason is the son of Jack and Ellen Lane of Jackson, Mo. His sister, Jenny Lane Dunham and her husband, Patrick Dunham, also both Southeast graduates, currently reside in Cape Girardeau and are the parents of Olivia Dunham.

I opened the hood to see that anti-freeze was spitting out of the side of the thermostat housing and all over one of the alum. brackets. I got home and cleaned the mess and tightened the pipe plug on the driver's side of the housing (it was pretty loose!!!). Problem solved...I also noticed that the uppder idler pulley seemed to have something on it, but it won't come off - also the belt seems to be wearing rather quickly (probably due to the pulley unless the material on the pulley is part of the belt). Wondering if the anti-freeze could have eaten away at the belt when it was spraying....

History of Hot Chocolate There is a difference between hot cocoa and hot chocolate
The terms Hot Cocoa and Hot Chocolate are often used interchangeably, but technically they are as different as Milk Chocolate and bittersweet chocolate. Hot cocoa is made from cocoa powder, which is chocolate pressed free of all its richness, meaning the fat of cocoa butter. Hot chocolate is made from chocolate bars melted into cream. It is a rich decadent drink.
The original hot chocolate recipe was a mixture of ground cocoa beans, water, wine, and chile peppers. It didn't take long for Spaniards to begin heating the mixture and sweetening it with sugar. After being introduced in England, milk was added to the then after-dinner treat.
The word chocolate is said to derive from the Mayan word xocoatl; cocoa from the Aztec word cacahuatl. The Mexican Indian word chocolat comes from a combination of the terms choco ("foam") and atl ("water"); as early chocolate was only consumed in beverage form.
Chocolate grows on trees, appearing in its raw state as melon-like pods (see photo on right) on the 40- to 60-foot tall trees known botanically as "Theobroma cacao," which means "food of the gods." This tropical tree has grown wild in Central America since prehistoric times. It also grows in South America, Africa, and parts of Indonesia. The cacao tree produces a fruit about the size of a small pineapple. Inside the fruit are the tree's seeds, also known as cocoa beans.
Chocolate has been drunk as a beverage for thousands of years. Archeologists tell us that the Olmecs, the oldest civilization of the Americas (1500-400 BC), were probably the first users of cacao, followed by the Maya, who consumed cacao-based drinks made with beans from their plantations in the Chontalpa region of what is now eastern Tabasco.
A drink called 'chocolatl' made from roasted cocoa beans, water and a little spice was their most important use, but cocoa beans were also valued as a currency. Because cocoa beans were valuable, they were given as gifts at ceremonies such as a child's coming of age and at religious ceremonies. The Maya had very many complicated religious beliefs with many gods. Merchants often traded cocoa beans for other commodities, cloth, jade, and ceremonial feathers.
Maya farmers transported their cocoa beans to market by canoe or in large baskets strapped to their backs, and wealthy merchants, employing porters to carry their wares, ventured as far as Mexico the land of the Aztecs, so introducing them to the much prized cocoa beans.
1502 - Christopher Columbus (1451-1506), the first European to taste cocoa in Nicaragua, on his fourth voyage to the New World, returned to Europe with the first cocoa beans. No one knew what to do with them and they were dismissed in favor of other trade goods.
By the time the Spanish invaded Mexico in the 16th century the Aztecs had created a powerful empire and their armies were supreme in Mexico.
1519 -
It was Montezuma (1466-1520), Emperor of Mexico, who introduced Hernam Cortes to his favourite drink 'chocolatl' served in a golden goblet. American historian William Hickling's History of the Conquest of Mexico (1838) reports that Montezuma: "took no other beverage than the chocolatl, a potation of chocolate, flavored with vanilla and spices, and so prepared as to be reduced to a froth of the consistency of honey, which gradually dissolved in the mouth and was taken cold."
The fact that Montezuma consumed his "chocolatl" in goblets before entering his harem led to the belief that it was an aphrodisiac. Cortes wrote a letter to Charles V of Spain calling chocolate "The divine drink which builds up resistance & fights fatigue. A cup of this precious drink permits man to walk for a whole day without food." When Cortes returned to Spain in 1528 he loaded his galleons with cocoa beans and chocolate drink making equipment.
Late 1500s - Introduction of chocolate to Europe. According to the article From Aphrodisiac to Health Food: A Cultural History of Chocolate, by Louis E. Grivetti:
While many recent texts and websites provide readers with a precise year and a specific event whereby chocolate was first introduced to Europe, food historians always debate "firsts" and the so-called "first" arrival of chocolate in Europe is a subject of conjecture to say nothing of myth. Chocolate may have been introduced to Europe via the Spanish court in 1544, when Dominican friars are said to have brought Mayan nobles to meet Prince Philip. I suspect, though, that this oft-cited statement is probably more allegorical than precise. It is correct to say, however, that within a century of the arrival of the Spanish in Mexico, both culinary and medicinal uses of chocolate had spread from Mexico to Spain, France, England, and elsewhere within Western Europe (entering through Spain and Portugal) and probably North America as well (entering through the Spanish settlement at St. Augustine, Florida).
1631 - In 1631, the first recipe for a chocolate drink was published in Spain by Antonio Colmenero de Ledesma, an Andalusian physician, in his book, Curioso tratado de la naturaleza y calidad del chocolate (A Curious Treatise of the Nature and Quality of Chocolate). This was the first work to deal exclusively with chocolate and cacao. Don Antonio is said to have lived for some time in the West Indies. Since he was a doctor, he pays a great deal of attention to the dietary aspects of chocolate and was concerned with the psychological as well as the physical effects of the drink. He says, "Chocolate is healthy. It makes the drinker 'Fat, and Corpulent, faire and Aimiable'. It was an aphrodisiac. In women it caused fertility but eased delivery, etc., etc." The ingredients in the recipe were:
"Take one hundred cocoa beans, two chillies, a handful of anise seed and two of vanilla (two pulverized Alexandria roses can be substituted), two drams of cinnamon, one dozen almonds and the same amount of hazelnuts, half a pound of white sugar and enough annatto to give some color. And there you have the king of chocolates."
1643 - It didn't take long for Spaniards to begin heating the mixture and sweetening it with sugar. Soon 'chocolate' became a fashionable drink enjoyed by the rich in Spain.
As the Spanish royalty intermarried with other European Royalty, cocoa was given as a dowry. In 1643, when the Spanish Princess Maria Theresa (1638-1683)was betrothed to Louis XIV (1638–1715) of France, she gave her fiancé an engagement gift of chocolate, packaged in an elegantly ornate chest. A royal chocolate maker was appointed and chocolate drinking became the rage.
1648 - Thomas Gage (1603-1656), an English Dominican friar and traveler, tried to intervene with the Bishop of Chiapas, Mexico over the congregation drinking chocolate during services. The women were fond of chocolate and turned church services into a coffeehouse. The Bishop tried to end this, and was consequently found dead. Poisoned chocolate was sent to the Bishop and Thomas Gage fled Chiapas. The rumor was that the women, who so hated the Bishop for this restriction, poisoned him with chocolate, hence the proverb "Beware the chocolate of Chiapa."
Eventually, in 1662, Pope Alexander VII put a final solution to the affair when he declared "Liquidum non frangit jejunum." Translated it means "Liquids (including chocolate) do not break the fast."
In his 1656 book, Travels in the New World, Thomas Gage devotes an entire chapter to chocolate and tells how the women of the city of Chiapas, Mexico were excommunicated by the bishop because "they would not give up sipping their cups of chocolate to sustain them during high mass."
1656 - Chocolate was considered an exotic beverage throughout Europe. The "Queen's Lane Coffee House on High Street," Oxford, began serving both coffee and chocolate in 1656 and still serves both beverages today in the 21st century. The Public Advertiser of that day carried this notice:
"In Bishopsgate Street in Queen's Head Alley, at a Frenchman's house, is an excellent West Indian drink called chcolate, to be sold, where you may have it ready at any time, and also unmade, at reasonable rates."
1664 - Samuel Pepys (1663-1703), English Naval Administrator and Member of Parliament, known for his detailed private diary that he kept during 1660–1669. Pepys was known to frequent coffee houses and mentioned them in great detail in his 1661 to 1664 diary. He was said to strongly believing in the restorative powers of chocolate:
"April 24, 1661 - Waked in the morning with my head in a sad taking through the last night's drink, which I am very sorry for; so rose and went with Mr Creede to drink our morning draught, which he did give me in jocolatte to settle my stomach"
"November 24, 2664. About noon out with Commissioner Pett, and he and I to a Coffee-house, to drink jocolatte, very good; and so by coach to Westminster, being the first day of the Parliament's meeting."
1700 - By the 1700s, "Chocolate Houses" were all the rage, as popular as coffee houses. These places were precursors of our present day cafes and bars, and they were frequented by politicians, writers, and socialites.

From the middle of the seventeenth century onwards, chocolate also enjoyed great success in Great Britain, especially after the conquest of Jamaica, which gave the British direct access to cacao production. After chocolate was introduced in England, milk was added to the after dinner treat.
By the end of the 18th century, London's chocolate houses began to disappear, many of the more fashionable ones becoming smart gentlemen's clubs.
1785 - Thomas Jefferson was to become a great lover of hot chocolate. In a letter to John Adams in 1785, he wrote:
"The superiority of chocolate, both for health and nourishment, will soon give it the same preference over tea and coffee in America which it has in Spain."
Chocolate as Medicine
According to the article Aphrodisiac to Health Food: A Cultural History of Chocolate, by Louis E. Grivetti:
From the 16th through early 19th century, numerous European travel accounts and medical texts documented the presumed merits and medicinal value of chocolate. . . Presented here is a brief "taste" of these rich chocolate-related passages from selected historical monographs. On inspection, these samples reveal that chocolate products were used to treat a myriad of human disorders:
Francisco Hernández (1577) wrote that pure cacao paste prepared as a beverage treated fever and liver disease. He also mentioned that toasted, ground cacao beans mixed with resin were effective against dysentery and that chocolate beverages were commonly prescribed to thin patients in order for them to gain "flesh."
Agustin Farfan (1592) recorded that chili peppers, rhubarb, and vanilla were used by the Mexica as purgatives and that chocolate beverages served hot doubled as powerful laxatives.
José de Acosta (1604) wrote that chili was sometimes added to chocolate beverages and that eating chocolate paste was good for stomach disorders.
Santiago de Valverde Turices (1624) concluded that chocolate drunk in great quantities was beneficial for treatment of chest ailments, but if drunk in small quantities was a satisfactory medicine for stomach disorders.
Colmenero de Ledesma (1631) reported that cacao preserved consumers' health, made them corpulent, improved their complexions, and made their dispositions more agreeable. He wrote that drinking chocolate incited love-making, led to conception in women, and facilitated delivery. He also claimed that chocolate aided digestion and cured tuberculosis.
Henry Stubbe (1662) wrote that consumers should drink chocolate beverages once or twice each day to relieve tiredness caused by strenuous business activities. He reported that ingesting cacao oil was an effective treatment for the Fire of St. Anthony (i.e., ergot poisoning). Stubbe also described chocolate-based concoctions mixed with Jamaica pepper used to treat menstrual disorders, and other chocolate preparations blended with vanilla to strengthen the heart and to promote digestion.

Chocolat Hot Chocolate Recipe: Have you seen the movie, Chocolat? This is like the hot chocolate that was served in the movie.
2 cups boiling water 1 chile pepper
In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add chile pepper to boiling water. Cook until liquid is reduced to 1 cup. Remove chile pepper; strain water and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine cream or milk, vanilla bean and cinnamon stick until bubbles appear around the edge. Reduce heat to low; add chocolate and sugar or honey; whisk occasionally until chocolate is melted and sugar dissolves. Turn off heat; remove vanilla bean and cinnamon stick. Add chile-infused water, a little at a time, tasting to make sure the flavor isn't too strong. If chocolate is too thick, thin with a little more milk.
Serve in small cups and offer ground almonds or hazelnuts and whipped cream.
The Angelina Cafe in Paris, open since 1903, serves a thick hot chocolate version in demitasse cups with a tiny dollop of mascarpone and whipped cream. They are famous for making hot chocolate from melted chocolate bars. It is incredibly easy to prepare by mixing chocolate shavings with hot water. You can serve it in small cups or in 17th-century style chocolate pots and demitasse cups such as those sold in gourmet shops.
6 ounces fine-quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, chopped 1/4 cup water, room temperature 3 tablespoons hot water 3 cups hot milk, divided Sugar to taste Whipped cream, if desired

Mexican Hot Chocolate Recipes
In central and southern Mexico, people commonly drink chocolate twice a day year-round. Having a layer of foam on hot chocolate is as important today in Mexico as it was in ancient times. Mexicans believe the spirit of the drink is in the foam. The chocolate is whipped to a froth with a carved wooden utensil called a Molinillo and served in mugs.
Molinillo [moh-lee-NEE-oh] is the Mexican chocolate "whisk" or "stirrer." It is made of "turned" wood and it is used to froth warm drinks such as hot chocolate, Atole, and Champurrado.
Mexican Hot Chocolate I Recipe:
6 cups milk 1/2 cup granulated sugar 3 ounces unsweetened Mexican Chocolate, coarsely chopped 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon salt 2 eggs
In a large saucepan, combine milk, sugar, chocolate, ground cinnamon, and salt. Heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate has melted and the milk is very hot. (Do not let the milk come to a boil.)
Beat 2 eggs in a mixing bowl. Stir in one cup of the hot mixture into the eggs, then return this mixture to the saucepan. Cook 2 to 3 minutes more over low heat, still stirring.
Remove from heat. Add vanilla. Beat with a Molinillo or a rotary beater until it is very frothy. Pour into mugs, garnish with cinnamon sticks, and serve. Makes about 6 (8-ounce) servings.
Mexican Hot Chocolate II Recipe: This recipe and photo are courtesy of Cynthia Detterick-Pineda of Andrews, TX.
4 (1-ounce) squares of Mexican Chocolate 2 tablespoons honey 1/4 cup hot water Small pinch of salt 1 teaspoon instant coffee 2 cups of milk 1 egg (optional) ¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1 dried red chile peppers Ground cinnamon for sprinkling
In a medium-sized saucepan over medium-low heat, add the Mexican chocolate, honey, hot water, salt, coffee, and chile pepper. Heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture just begins to boil; reduce heat to low and let simmer, stirring constantly, for approximately an additional 1 minute. Carefully stir in the milk and let sit over low heat until the chocolate is too warm to touch (you can see the steam rising from it).
In a medium-size bowl, beat the egg until it is frothy, you can use an electric mixer, a Molinillo, or a fork for this. You just need to make it as frothy as possible. Add the vanilla extract and beat in well.
Pour the hot chocolate mixture over the frothed egg and beat it vigorously for about 15 seconds. You want to beat it until you have about 1/2- to 1-inch of foam on top.
Pour into cups or mugs to serve. Sprinkle some ground cinnamon over the hot chocolate once it is in the mug.

Mallard Head Country Club, a treasure tucked away off of Mooresvilles Brawley School Rd., was home to the 18th Annual John P. Campbell Memorial Golf Tournament June 20th. All proceeds from the tournament benefit Hospice & Palliative Care of Iredell County. Over the years the annual tournaments have raised over $480,000 to benefit patient care.
John Pierce Campbell, the founder of Mallard Head Golf Course, became a supporter of Hospice & Palliative Care of Iredell County in the early 1990s after witnessing the care his brothers received from the organization. Although he passed away in 2006, his legacy lives on through the Campbell family and their dedication to the cause. Four generations of Campbells, including Johns wife, Sara Edwards Campbell, attended the event, many of them as volunteers.

Investment Tips for Entrepreneurs that Wall St. Doesn't Want You to Know
Alex Tabatabai is Co-founder of Fernbank Partners (http://www.fernbankpartners.com). He discusses investment tips that wall street doesn't want people knowing. These tips will help entrepreneurs in making the right investment choices.
- Small investors can compete with large financial institutions
- Research investments thoroughly & always utilize common sense
- Disciplined investing trumps intelligence
I'm going to cover 3 investments tips briefly that entrepreneurs and business owners should know that maybe Wall Street or your private wealth manager may not want you to know.
One is that David can be Goliath. You can do jus as well as the big hedge funds that have huge, you know, minimum investments with just some simple tools.
Use common sense. I mean you're a business owner. You're intelligent. You understand how to make financial decisions. You understand what works and what doesn't. You understand what consumers want, what they don't want especially in that area that you have a core confidence and stick to that circle. Use common sense. Do diligent research. Just look at the obvious facts and if something just doesn't seem right or doesn't sound right, you know, don't go for it. Investing is like a baseball game in which you get an unlimited number of pitches so just swing at the fat ones.
Another point that you may not hear on CNBC or Bloomberg TV is that discipline wins over intelligence. A lot of times people in the financial world, we like to think that, you know, where these wonderfully intelligent people who know so much about the world. It is important to gather your facts and do diligent research but discipline always wins. If you avoid the pitfalls. You avoid making mistakes. You avoid swinging at bad pitches. You will do very well over the long term. It's okay if you miss a few opportunities. Just stay disciplined. Try not to make foolish mistakes in investing.
When it comes to investing you can be the best fund managers out there. All you need to do is use your common sense and do some thorough research and one of the most important things you'll hear -- the best investors like Warren Buffett say time and time again discipline is more important than intelligence.

Well, www.nigeriafilms.com has just discovered the reasons for her discomposure. In a recent interview, Omosexy, as she is fondly called said, she was meant to change her dressing like three times but because of the hotness, the heat in the convention centre, she had to change earlier so as to be fit.
Omotola noted that she had planned to change her dress after the red carpet for another one to present an award but the Convention Centre of the Eko Hotel, was hot and couldnt afford her the luxury of time, thus, her reason for changing into the most comfortable of the dresses and look at the event.
The first dress by Iconic was so tailored to me that I couldnt sit comfortably in it. So, the idea was just to arrive in it and wear Ejiros outfit (pictured left) to present the Best Actor Award as it would be at the end of the show but the hall was too hot. The sweat caused by the hotness from the hall spoilt my hair and make-up so I had no choice but to change earlier than planned and carried the easier bombshell look which was more forgiving, Omotola explained.

You are close to getting married, and you want to make sure your pictures are perfect. If you live in Maryland a Baltimore wedding photographer will be the first person you will want to get in contact with. Roman Grinev Photography is the first and last place you should look. You want your special day to last forever, and photos and videos are the way to make that happen. All the special nuances, all the smiles and happy times can be relived for years to come, thanks to the technology of the photograph.
While we are in the area of Find a Baltimore Wedding Photographer To Put Your Special Times Into Photos | Family Vacation Ideas, Make sure your photographer has first hand knowledge of the venue before the wedding day. Some photographers will go to the rehearsal to get a feel for the setting and plan out certain shots. This is also a good time to let the photographer know of any aspects of the venue that you do not want to see in photographs.
One of the best wedding photography tips is to be confident. This helps in a number of different ways. It ensures you are not shy or nervous and miss all the great shots, but also helps because it keeps you from shaking the camera when snapping shots. Even with an expensive, professional camera, the pictures may still come out blurry if you shake when you take pictures if you are nervous and your hands are shaking.

Topics About:irregular periods
Articles About:irregular periods
Causes of menstrual irregularities can be due to anything from mental stresses to physical problems. It can take as long as two years for a young girl's periods to settle into a pattern and menstrual irregularities at this age are not anything of concern. However, causes of menstrual irregularities can be an area of concern, read below to discover more.
There are many causes of menstrual irregularities and several of them are nothing to be concerned about. The different causes can be discussed with a medical practitioner if women are worried. Read below for more information on the different reasons for this problem:
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Women who have polycystic ovarian syndrome suffer from small cysts that grow in their ovaries. Polycystic ovarian syndrome is one of the causes of menstrual irregularities that women should be aware of because it is important to treat properly. POS often results in women having light, irregular periods. Women with menstrual irregularities causes such as polycystic ovarian syndrome do not always release an egg and thus do not have a period. Furthermore, their hormone levels are often imbalanced and women may have higher levels of testosterone.
Thyroid Problems The thyroid controls the body's metabolism hormones and is one of the causes of menstrual irregularities. Often a visit to a doctor is required to diagnose thyroid problems as your reason for menstrual irregularities.
Stress Stress is frequently reported as one of the causes of menstrual irregularities. Women suffering from high amounts of anxiety, experience an imbalance of hormones. The imbalanced hormones can then become a cause of menstrual irregularities.
Extreme Weight Loss or Gain Many menstrual irregularities are related to weight fluctuations. Women who are anorexic or gain a large amount of weight in a small amount of time will find that it is one of the biggest causes of menstrual irregularity. However, a return to a good, healthy weight can often prevent any menstrual irregularity in relation to weight loss or gain.
Age With age, a woman's menstrual cycle can change dramatically and aging is one of the major causes of menstrual irregularities. Irregular and heavy bleeding can be common when women are becoming perimenopausal because of the changing hormone levels.
Cancer Although it is extremely rare, and women should never believe their problem is cancer immediately, it can be one of the causes of menstrual irregularities. Cancer of the cervix, or the womb, can cause heavy bleeding during sex and disrupt the menstrual cycle.
However, if women find that their menstrual irregularities are becoming worse they should consult their doctor. Often, the signs and symptoms of menstrual irregularities go away on their own however they may occasionally need treating. There are many treatments for the different causes of menstrual irregularities that women can turn to. Click here for more information about treating menstrual irregularities.

NEW YORK — NEW YORK (AP) - At rates from $199 a night, guests at the new World Center Hotel can get as close to the hive of activity that is ground zero as it's possible to get without a hard hat.
The 169-room hotel just south of the World Trade Center site celebrated its grand opening Wednesday and Mayor Michael Bloomberg proclaimed World Center Hotel Day. But in what hotel executives call a soft opening, guests have been staying there for months as construction was completed floor by floor.
Deena Mendlowitz, an improv performer from Cleveland, said after checking out that it was "phenomenal" to see the rebuilding firsthand.
Mendlowitz said she visited New York in 2002 and the trade center site was depressing then, just a year after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
"It's more hopeful now," she said. "It seems like they're reaching the next phase, which is great."
Some of the hotel's rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows that overlook the trade center site or the former Deutsche Bank building, which was irreparably contaminated when the twin towers were destroyed and is being dismantled. The 20th-floor restaurant terrace is just about level with the formerly 40-story Deutsche Bank tower.
The hotel's Web site advertises its proximity to the trade center rebuilding process and to the financial industry. Some rooms have been made into corporate apartments for extended stays.
"People choose to be here for a number of different reasons," said Cheryl Palmer, vice president of Club Quarters Inc., the company that's opening the hotel.
She added, "There are people who want to come and view the site. People do appreciate the opportunity to be as close as they are to the rebuilding."

The majority of search marketers are unsophisticated, despite having worked in the field for two or more years, according to a study by JupiterResearch. What's more, key differences in approaches to bid management, the use of analytic tools, and other factors tends to tip the overall advantage in favor of sophisticated search marketers.
Today's SearchDay article, JupiterResearch: Most Search Marketers are Unsophisticated, covers a recent Search Engine Strategies conference panel where JupiterResearch shared its findings about the behavior, attitudes and success factors of both sophisticated and unsophisticated search marketers. It makes for an interesting—and somewhat controversial read.

Our 2007 California Cabernet Sauvignon was made from carefully selected Cabernet Sauvignon grapes grown throughout California. The select lots of wine were blended to develop complexity and true varietal character, while retaining an approachable, fruit-forward style that is appealing both at the dinner table and al fresco.
This bright, easy-drinking, aromatic wine has an inviting deep ruby color and offers evolving aromas of cran-raspberry, violet and black pepper. The palate follows with rich flavors of red fruit and plum which intertwine with hints of oak dust. Medium bodied, the wine finishes softly with smooth tannins, which delightfully complement the lingering berry tones.
The Russian River Valley has come to be known as America"s Burgundy, and DeLoach is proud to have been an important factor in this distinction.

Hughes Hall is a constituent college of the University of Cambridge in Cambridge, England. It is often informally called Hughes, and is the oldest of the four Cambridge colleges which admit only mature students. The majority of Hughes Hall students are postgraduate, although nearly one-fifth of the student population comprises individuals aged 21 and above who are studying undergraduate degree courses at the University.
It was founded in 1885 as the Cambridge Training College for Women Teachers, and its first principal was Miss Elizabeth Phillips Hughes. It began with 14 students in a small house in Newnham called Croft Cottage. One of the first matriculants, Molly Thomas, recounted the experience of the first class of students in A London Girl of the 1880s, published under her married name, M.V. Hughes. By 1895 the college moved to its present site, which was designed by the Cambridge architect William Fawcett. Expanding slowly over the next 40 years, the college finally became part of the University in November 1949 and was renamed Hughes Hall in honour of its first principal. Hughes Hall became an Approved Foundation of the University in 1985 and achieved full College status in 2006.
The College's first male students arrived in 1973, and students began to study a wider range of affiliated post-graduate degrees. Student numbers gradually increased in the 1980s and 1990s. Today, Hughes Hall has about 500 graduate, affiliated and mature (aged over 21) students, of both sexes, studying a wide range of subjects. The college is one of the most international Cambridge colleges, with its students representing over 60 nationalities.
Most of the Fellows of the college are academics engaged in teaching and research. They come from diverse backgrounds and work in many fields. Students and Fellows mix freely in all aspects of college life. Unusually, Hughes has no special provisions for Fellows at meals (such as a High Table - students and Fellows sit with each other at the same tables and eat the same meals) or in the use of the college's recreational facilities.
In 2005 Hughes opened a new residential, dining, and meeting building, the Fenners Building, which overlooks the University cricket grounds, also named Fenners. A new Learning Resources Centre, which includes a new library and computer room, was completed in summer 2009.
Hughes has many specialities, including students in professional disciplines such as medicine, law, business, and postgraduate studies in education, as well as a disproportionately high number of Cambridge 'Blues' - sportsmen and women who have excelled in fields including rugby, rowing, boxing, cricket, swimming, chess and others. There is a secret society known as Hughes Academy. This intellectual society brings together members from the college and the university, where different issues are discussed.

Boat Club[edit]
Hughes Hall College Boat Club has been very successful in recent years. In 2009, the boat club entered four boats (2 men and 2 women) in the May Bumps. All four boats were successful gaining a total of 21 spots on the river and winning the college 3 new blades. The boat club was awarded the Pegasus Cup for the 2nd time (also won it in 2007), awarded annually to the most successful boat club in Cambridge. The achievements of the boat club are even more significant considering the fact that Hughes Hall admits many students on one-year degrees. As such, the boat club trains many novices each year, and top performers are often given opportunities in the first VIII. The Boat Club houses its four rowing shells in the Emmanuel Boathouse. The women's crew is organised jointly with Lucy Cavendish College Boat Club affectionately called Lucy/Hughes Boat Club.

TMZ spoke exclusively with Joyce Aldridge, mother of Casey, who confirmed that Jamie Lynn Spears is indeed pregnant with her grandchild.
Joyce said, "We are aware of the recent interview regarding her and being pregnant, and we are in agreement with everything that was said by Jamie Lynn about the situation ... everything is fine."
When asked if Casey had anything to say about his girlfriend being preggo, she said, "At this point, Casey doesn't wish to speak out, but it would be wonderful when the time comes." When asked about their ages and any negative aspects, she said, "Casey will address all of this when it is time."
TMZ also spoke with Casey's grandfather, James, who did not know about the pregnancy, but confirmed his grandson is dating Britney's sister, and that his son Mark, Casey's dad, works at a paper mill in Cleveland, TN.
WOW!!!! You know u people are so quick to judge! But I bet if this were one of your family members you would stand behind her!

I have the Droid 3, had to get it replaced because spacebar began not working at all, or when you hit it it created two spaces and then a period after the word I was typing in an email or IM. My replacement didn't have that problem for 6-7 months. Then about a week ago the replacement Droid 3 began doing it. When I called Verizon, the Tech I got has the Droid 3 and gave me a fix that has worked so far. (Been using it for an hour since I did what he said without any problems). Here is what he had me do on my Droid 3: Go to 1. Settings 2. Applications 3. Manage Applications 4. Click On "All" tab at top 5. Multi Touch Keyboard 6.Clear Data. Voila! Good luck!
I too have had issues with my slide out keyboard. Verizon replaced the phone and it worked great for a couple of months. Then the problem started again.
The fix: I used alcohol to clean the keyboard and the underside of the phone body. Make sure that the alcohol is still wet and close and open the phone several times. My best guess is that the contacts that make the connection from the keyboard and the body of the phone get covered with oil and dirt from handling the phone all the time. The alcohol cleans off the contacts and the keyboard works fine then for a while. Please let me know your results.

Thoughts on Mark Teixeira's return, Headley, Mustelier, and other notes
The Yankees have said that they expect Mark Teixeira will miss 8-10 weeks, but that very well could be on the low-end as wrist injuries are tricky. Just ask Mark DeRosa, who was chased by the Yankees when he was a free agent after the 2009 season. Back then he was a guy who could play ...

Carnegie Mellon University's Shelley L. Anna and Lynn M. Walker Work to Develop Tools to Characterize Dispersants Used to Mitigate Oil Spills
August 20, 2012
Contact: Chriss Swaney
Carnegie Mellon University
PITTSBURGH—Carnegie Mellon University's Shelley L. Anna and Lynn M. Walker received a $330,000 grant from the Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative to improve tools used to characterize dispersants used in deep-sea oil spills.
"At the time of the spill, quick decisions need to be made about the method of application of dispersants. But currently there is no information available to help with those decisions," said Anna, an associate professor in mechanical and chemical engineering at CMU.
Anna and Lynn, who is a professor of chemical engineering, are developing a new tool to analyze the kind of dispersants needed for large oil spills like the 2010 BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
BP paid more than $21 billion in cleanup costs and damages to individuals, businesses and governments harmed by one of the world's largest oil spills. Carnegie Mellon engineering students also sent more than a ton of rescue materials to nature preserves in Venice, La., to help save endangered brown pelicans in a regional campaign dubbed: "Pelican Plight: Saving the Bayou Birds."
CMU researchers are using a microtensionmeter they developed to quantify the appropriate mix of fluids and water flow to determine the right mix of dispersants for a particular spill.
When used properly, dispersants can be an effective method to respond to oil spills. But in the case of the Alaska Exxon Valdez spill, researchers discontinued using dispersants because of lack of wave action to help dissolve dispersants.
CMU researchers said the new tool will help determine what kind of dispersant is needed and when and where it should be applied.
