Glamazon: Absolutely Aamina
by Fouzia Mapara
Her performances have undertones of Khalida Riyasat. The same defiant eyes, slender frame, the oomph, the spunk, energy and vigour emanating out of her petite person; whether she plays a rescued Bengali woman living with two mobile phone snatchers in Pachees Qadam Pe Maut or drives a rickshaw all over Karachi as the determined young woman in Aasman Chu Lay. Twirling her shiny tresses in a shampoo commercial, she exudes sex appeal that matches that of Zeenat Aman. In a short span of her modelling and acting career, this twenty-something has carved out a niche for herself as a glamorous model and a versatile actor. So who does she want to be known as, a model or an actor? "A performer, or a hybrid of some sort?†she laughed in response.
Dressed in a casual tee and black harem pants, the doe-eyed Aamina Sheikh looked like Pocahontas, with her cappuccino skin, smile out of a Cosmopolitan cover and a smart head that carries no attitude but loads of long, straight hair. Sitting across from me, she enthusiastically spoke about her adventures as a rickshaw driver for a telefilm Aasman Chu Lay, a special Women's Day initiative.
"It was a rocking project directed by Syed Ali Reza. Usman Mustafa wrote the script. I played a girl who is determined to become the breadwinner after her father's death and saves her family from the ensuing hardships,†she related. Since the girl's father was a rickshaw driver, Aamina had to drive a rickshaw with a huge camera attached to it on busy roads such as the M.A. Jinnah Road and Garden area and attract real passengers. "Before the final shoot I wanted to drive a couple rounds in the rickshaw but it was not at all possible. So Mohib came to my rescue and drew the controls and everything for me, where the gears and brakes were and told me that it is very similar to a Vespa.â€
Just before the shoot, she grabbed the opportunity to take a couple of rounds with a real ricksha wallah in a narrow lane or two. But the road experience was for real. "My hair was tied up, I wore a uniform and threw a scarf over it and so it was not very obvious that a woman was driving a rickshaw, but once someone noticed, that was it. At one point, I had some people running after me with a broken tube light! It was a revolutionary play, a wonderful and alternate experience which made me feel totally empowered. Jaise waqai kuch seekha hai. Afterwards we were joking that it would contribute towards my retirement plan!â€
In another telefilm, Pachees Qadam Pe Maut directed by Shahid Jawaad, Aamina played a Bengali woman at par with veteran Sheema Kirmani's performance in Chand Girhan. "I was so keen to get the right accent. Unfortunately, that kind of time was not available, so I told the director that any minute you think that the accent is not good enough, just stop. But he asked me not to be so overwhelmed with the dialogue delivery and that I would be able to do it. A couple of hiccups here and there would not matter.â€
Demonstrating versatility, Aamina played the role of a mathematics genius, isolated from society in teleplay called Wapsi. "It was an inspiration from A Beautiful Mind, written by Ali Moeen and directed by Naeem Khan. I loved that role. Ali Moeen is fantastic, he doesn't do much work but is among the people that I love to work with.â€
An election telefilm Baarish Mein Deewar that she did with Mohib was a hit. "It was very youth-oriented, politically-charged and a very different play about concepts of Pakistani politics and how the youth is affected.†After doing some memorable telefilms where she got challenging, character roles, producers start taking notice of Aamina and serials followed. "I am doing more serials now than teleplays. I started with difficult roles. Now slowly I seem to be getting those female lead roles where you are mostly a decoration piece with little potential to act.â€
Maryam was a serial where Aamina played a bratty, young vamp. "I played a vamp even though I don't want to be stereotyped into that role. There is such a dearth of talent, and if you want to keep working, you end up accepting roles that you may not choose otherwise. It was an impactful role and although I did it a long time back, it was aired much later.â€
One of her major serials where she was present from the beginning to the end was Aane Wala Pal. "It was a compact play, shot in Bahawalpur and I was very much involved in it. When you take out a couple of weeks and go on location, you literally become a part of the story.†Then came mega serial Dil-e-Nadaan, directed by Anjum Shahzad and Mustafa Afridi. "Character wise, I loved it.â€
Aamina's commitment to her dramatic endeavours leaves one a little surprised that she detoured the fashion industry and advertising before she made it to acting. "One day I ran into Tanya Shafi and she suggested that I give her my headshots which she would pass around to agencies for modeling. I took that extremely seriously and began searching for references, commercials and what is out there and what is the mould that I have to set for an appealing portfolio. I hired a photographer, made a storyboard, executed a photo shoot and handed to Tanya and a couple of other people I knew.â€
After two or three commercials, she landed a telefilm with Khalid Ahmed about Partition but continued to model. "I started learning the body language. Things that I would normally look at from a cinematic or film point of view, I started applying to modeling and fashion because the lingo is very much the same in terms of lights on negatives and positives. I started work with some photographers in Lahore and constantly made the effort of being proactive. In Karachi, I started working with Amean J. I did the ARY Fashion TV calendar which led to more fashion shoots. I also worked with Rizwan-ul-Haq who is the king of black and white and very high-fashion oriented. He demands a lot from you as a model when it comes to postures, body language and attitude. He really makes you work which I really like about him. Amean J and Shamyl Khuro do very little fashion work but when they do, it is very artistically inclined. In Lahore I have enjoyed working with Maram Abroo, Guddo Shani, there is Deevees/Jimmy. I haven't worked with Ather Shahzad and I look forward to that. I worked with Khawar some time back.â€
Fashion work started rolling because a new face had not appeared for ages. "I consciously tried my best to work both in Karachi and Lahore by making myself available. I was trying to get hold of some serials because telefilms do have impact but serials get noticed more.â€
In the fashion industry, it can be difficult to get across all the 'camps', meet the right people and get good work. "The way to get through all that is to show your potential and once you have talent, doors open themselves for you. It would be wrong to say that the cliques are so strong that it is impossible for a newcomer to make a mark. Fashion in Pakistan has really done well and I received a lot of encouragement and support from senior models. I also feel that some of our commercial directors should take up films. There are so much talk going on but someone should step forward. I recently worked with Asif Reza for a commercial and I admire the professionalism of people in advertising. If people of Saqib Malik's caliber take up films, it would make a difference. We have to get started at some point and right now is a good time.â€
TV plays, commercials, fashion shoots… has overexposure crossed her mind? "Work that we do never comes out in chronological order. We could have done it months ago but it might show much later with something else that you did recently, so it may seem that suddenly you are everywhere and that may create a feeling of being over exposed.â€
Aamina majored in film video production in Boston and after graduation; she worked as an assistant for a production company in Manhattan called Curious Pictures. "I used to intern there every summer and production wise it was good exposure but it did not click with me.†It was when she met some family friends that she found out about the media boom in Pakistan. "I was thinking in terms of a media career but had not figured out exactly what it was going to be. I realised that I would probably be taken more seriously in Pakistan than the States and as my parents were already here, I decided to come back.â€
Since Aamina had already made up her mind to work, she soon landed a job at a private channel along with some volunteering at the Karafilm Festival. "Channel mein to ragra laga kaafi! I was handling a couple of shows and assisting a director; one of those odd jobs where they hire you and make you do everything. Nevertheless it was an important time in my life because I learnt so much about how things are done in Pakistan. In addition, I was also doing short films and documentaries and was part of a theatre group. My contract finished and I started doing odd freelance jobs. In my mind somewhere was the thought acting is an option for me and if I take it seriously there is a chance for me to do well but I need to explore it.†With time, Aamina has become selective about her work and image. "I want to reflect a progressive, modern woman who speaks her mind and is not stuck in victimization or suppression, nor is a feminist. You can definitely control how you want to project yourself. In drama, I want to portray extremes so I can explore my potential and versatility as a performer.â€
Somewhere in her mind is this dream role. "A role that crosses boundaries, has international appeal, is progressive. I want to play a South Asian representative living somewhere else, not a hijabi or an extremist of any kind. It should not be the usual 'desi girl meets white boy, and wants to marry amidst religious and cultural issues theme.' A genuine story must come out of it.â€
Talking about PTV plays of the golden era, Aamina says "Today we are dealing with a different ball game altogether. Our biggest drawback is that there is so much going on now that a lot of good work is lost in all the stuff that is going on air. Earlier, even if a person came in the scene to dust the table, he got noticed. Now people have a remote control! Agreed that they had better scripts and spent more time on everything but there was no other option. If the same people were working now, would they be able to establish themselves in the same way now as they did in those years?â€

From amongst a plethora of programmes offered by our innumerable Pakistani channels, only a few stand out which can be labelled as 'worth mentioning'. On current affairs side while programmes like Qalamkar, Kal Tak and many more, anchored and participated by journalism veterans and stalwarts like Athar Abbas, Abdul Qadir Hassan, Mujeeb ur Rehman Shami, Javed Choudry, Quatrina Hussain and Geo TV's Dr. Shahid Masood's Mere Mutabiq', Hamid Mir's Capital Talk and similar other ones created ripples and due to their indepth investigative reporting many investigations have already started at highest levels. Result oriented, shall we call it?
On the music side, while AAG caters to our insatiable youth with its innovative and creative presentations – another channel is catering to us old timers, reviving the golden era of days gone by and not to be left behind still another channel is introducing wannabe's and believe me they are good.
And there are channels and channels catering to our local goras – the English medium sect – are a couple of them that stand out though diagonally opposite. One is doing its best to make us forget the English language that we learnt in schools, colleges and universities by using language like 'He went, wenta went, so went came-aa hi not' (woh gaya, gaya, aisa gaya kae aaiya hi nahi). This was a joke mind you, to be taken with a pinch of salt after sleeping at night and before waking up in the morning for maximum curative effect and result. The other channel has become an expert on teaching us how to speak the gora lingo with maximum twisting and exercising our facial muscles while keeping a stiff upper lip to attain the required clipped delivery and accent which an original and genuine gora would find difficult to emulate.
Now lets get serious and talk on the serious subject of drama (read Droma) – serious because it solicits maximum sponsorships and commercials. This last quarter of the year 2009 saw the end of Noorpur Ki Rani, a drama serial on one of the private channels. It was the story of two women; a story of paradoxes. Both very different in their individual capacities but plagued by similar problems. Noori being an orphan from an impoverished family goes through turbulent times before beginning a new life in a palace. On the other hand, Rania, owner of the palace is brought to circumstances she never could have imagined due to her negative and jealous nature – resulting in her going on a rampage to destroy people she dislikes. This close to life serial helped the viewers to meet characters with whom they could identify. Sanam Balouch, Mahnoor Baloch, Azfar Rehman, Naila Jaffry, Sanam Agha, Qawi Khan, Noman Ijaz, Rehman Khan and Samina Peerzada did justice to their assigned characters creating credibility. Though there always is room for improvements, in typical British understatement 'it was not bad at all'. We expect more and better from writer Sameera Fazal and director Hissam Hussain next time.
Ishq Junoon Diwangi: written by Momina Duraid is on-air and started well – the theme and storyline being interesting. A different concept in the eternal love triangle. It's ringing a bell – being inspired from some foreign novel and movie giving a feeling of déjà vu. A director husband of a writer wife and the imaginary female protagonist – in real life an actress. Well, let me be clear in my thoughts and recollections. Full comments next time.
Well, well, well. Tanveer Fatima B.A… A washerman's daughter doing her B.A. promising, isn't it? The very name (title) attracts. This is happening all around us. Our lower-middle class as also the poor class are cutting corners and sacrificing their own needs to educate their offspring, especially daughters as their being educated would compensate for the unaffordable dowry that they cannot dream of. In this just started serial by Geo TV, I hope to find this subject touched along with what is on the menu – a potpourri of funny, passionate, bitter, naughty and greedy characters. This definitely provides an abundance of very interesting possibilities like a typical lower class family being against female education. Stemming from jealousy? On top of that a male tutor – Tauba Tauba.
Good ingredients like the characters' interaction with each other exposing their psyche through their actions like toona, totka and jadoo and at the same time romance, mutual caring, human desires, emotional loyalties and jealousies promise a sizzling and juicy dish of entertainment in the coming winter months. Shabbir Jan, Samina Ahmed, Nayyer Ijaz, Umaima Abbasi, Danish Nawaz, Shahnaz Pervaiz, Darakshan Tahir, Syed Nabeel, Rubina Arif and Yasir Nawaz portray characters created and written by Naveed Jafri. Hasan Zia has come up with an identifiable theme and credit to GEO for selecting and approving the same. Direction, camera work and performance are surely commendable.

Juggun Kazim also known as Jay Kazim, is a very talented and ambitious young woman. She has worked in numerous Pakistani telefilms and even embarked on the Canadian film scene. Not only is she an admirable actress, she is also a model and TV host for various shows airing on Pakistani channels. Read on to learn how she got into acting and what her future goals are…
How would you introduce yourself to our readers?
I would like to think that I'm a rather multifaceted personality. From modeling to hosting to acting and lately the random bit of journalism; I seem to want to do it all. I just love the arts, and more specifically the media. I'm one of those people that wake up in the middle of the night because of having a dream that could be converted into a scene. For me, this line of work is more than a passion, it's an obsession.
Tell us about where you grew up, your family and education?
I grew up in Cantonment, Lahore with an elder sister and a younger brother. My mother is still alive, but my father passed away 5 years ago. His murder was one of the most traumatic experiences of my life. My own tiny family unit is comprised of my two year old son, Hamza Ahmed and myself. I am a single mother and adore my son to distraction; he is my motivation to do everything and truly makes me want to be a better person.
I went to Lahore Grammar School, and then to Kinnaird College for my FA. After completing that, I went to Canada to attend the University of Western Ontario where I did my BA Honors in Media Information Technology and Sociology with a minor in Psychology. One summer while in college, I also did my CCNA 2.0 just for fun. I guess I was bored and computers aren't exactly rocket science, so I decided to have fun and educate myself at the same time. After college, I took a variety of courses in acting and commercial modeling. I am also now planning to do my LLB privately. I have to admit, I miss college and I love to constantly educate myself; it makes me feel like I'm still a kid.
You are an actress, a TV host and a model; how did you get involved with working in the media?
When I was four, someone asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. My reply was "mein bara ho kay actor banu ga.†At that age, I obviously hadn't quite realized that I was a girl, which of course came along as a rude awakening at the age of thirteen.
My first commercial play was when I was fourteen years old and the director was my best friend Mashal Peerzada. I must say, it was one of the most fun theatre projects I have worked on till date. However, I started my professional acting and modeling career under the name 'Jay Kazim' in Toronto. I was approached by Sutherland Models in Canada to work as a 'petite' and 'commercial' model; because obviously I am way too short for the ramp. I did two music videos with them and then was approached my current Canadian Agents, The Newton Landry Management. Sandie Newton and Yanick Landry took me under their wing and started sending me to auditions. I ended up doing a Diet Coke Ad which ran for 2 seasons because it was so popular. I also then did a few more commercials and theatre work, and in the process also auditioned for the movie Pink Ludoos. Never in my wildest imagination did I think I would be chosen as the lead in this movie; but Allah Mian was very kind to me and after only the 2nd stage of auditions, I was offered the part. (You can google me under 'Jay Kazim' and the rest of my stage and acting work in Canada will come up.)
Did your family support your decision to enter this industry? What obstacles have you faced by entering this profession?
My family didn't really approve of this line of work initially, but now I think they have come to accept it and are secretly a little proud of me. I had no major obstacles because I have always been very independent in my behavior and thought process. Also, once I had finished my degree from college, my mother was pretty much okay with whatever profession I chose to pursue.
Out of modeling, acting and hosting, what do you enjoy most?
I have never really considered myself to be a model. I am essentially an actress and enjoy hosting. Hosting is something I just fell into while I was pregnant, and now I have to say I love acting and hosting just as much. Though, I do have the soul of an actor. I host predominantly to change people's narrow-minded perception of the media industry and to promote positive social change.
What type of modeling have you done? Have you participated in fashion shows? If so, when and where?
I am mainly a print model, if you can call me a model that is. Modeling is something I do just for fun; I have never participated in fashion shows despite being trained by Sutherland Models to walk the ramp. I just think that at 5 feet 4 inches, I'd look rather stupid walking the ramp. One should learn to work within the limitations of one's body rather than make of fool of themselves.
Tell us about the shows you host on TV.
A.My career in hosting started with the program Beanbag, which I wrote and conceptualized for Business Plus. After that, I hosted: CEO for Business Plus, Aaj Entertainment Tonight for Aaj TV, Fashion Stop for Ary Digital, Sunday Brunch for Aaj TV
My current programs on air are: Morning with Hum Weekend Edition for Hum TV, Aik Din Juggun Kay Saath for Vibe TV (Celebrity and Media Personalities kay interview.), Honestly Speaking with Juggun Kazim on PTV (Program deals with social issues within Pakistan)
You have acted as well; what shows you have acted in and what is your most memorable role in acting?
As of late, I have acted in various projects in Pakistan. The ones I was most noted in 2007 were: Manosalva in the character of Sheena for Hum TV, Sitam in the character of Kiran for PTV and Piyasi in the character of Dolly for Hum TV. I have also acted in a variety of series and telefilms. Just recently my new serial aired on ARY Digital by the name of Sher Dil, on which I play the character of Neelum. I am now working on 3 serials, Momal Productions 'Saiqa,' Shahid Zahoor's 'Chaat,' Talking Filmein's serial and a television soap that has yet to be titled. The most favorite character I've played was Maya in 'Aik Pal,' a telefilm which I producted and which was directed by Mashal Peerzada. The film has been selected by Hum TV for their telefilm competition.
They say there is a lot of competition in modeling, what has your experience been? Would you recommend this profession to the youngsters who want to enter this field?
Thank god I'm not a professional model! I just model for fun. If you are tall and skinny, it's easy to become a model in Pakistan. However, it's a lot tougher to be as good of an actor as Nadia Jamil or Faisal Qureshi. Twenty years ago I wouldn't recommend this profession to anyone, but now things have changed for the better and that's allowed a lot of people to enter this industry on a more positive note.
You recently appeared in the latest Jal video, tell us where that video was shot and how was the experience?
The video was shot in Lahore at Bari Studios. It was amazing to work with a team of such talented professionals like DOP Neil Lisk and director Bilal Lashari. Within the limited amount of technical facilities, they did a fabulous job. The hair and makeup was done by Maram and Abaru, and the wardrobe was provided by Rabya Butt and Munib Nawaz. Basically, there was no way that things could've gone wrong. It's the team that makes the production, not just the talent!
To a lot of people, being a model means having a glamorous lifestyle, hundreds of fans and traveling; how true is this and what are the drawbacks?
People say that success goes to your head, but I wouldn't know since I am not even one hundredth as successful as I aim to be eventually. Of course the fans, traveling and glamour are all part of the package that comes with acting, hosting and modeling. But it's not quite as glamorous at it may seem. It's a lot of hard work and effort at the end of the day. The drawbacks included constant exhaustion, constant criticism and the fans that sometimes decide to start stalking and harassing you. All in all, I love it because I don't get caught up in the issues.
What are your goals for the future? Where do you see yourself professionally in the next 10 years?
I will hopefully have my book published and be working on the next few. In terms of acting, I hope to be recognized as the Shabana Azmi or Meryl Streep of Pakistan. As far as hosting is concerned, Oprah is my idol! And of course, I do plan to start producing feature films. Those are the goals… I hope I can supersede them.
Lastly, what is your message to the readers of The Saturday Post?
Learn to love yourself. When you can honestly love yourself, only then can you love others unconditionally. Learn to respect yourself and the opinions of others. Be a good person; a clean and pure soul goes a long way. And ALWAYS follow your dreams. One always gets those things that they want the most in life… but you have to really have to want it.

It's never too late, they say. The playwright with a sharp socio-political sense (and DMD Pakistan Television) Shahid Nadeem has been bestowed with President's Pride of Performance for Literature.
The marked feature of Shahid Nadeem's showbiz and literary career is the no less than 40 top-notch Urdu and Punjabi plays that he's written. In a country where original scripts for theatre are a rare treat, his plays have been a source of inspiration for many. For television he has penned and produced critically acclaimed drama serials such as Neelay Haath, Zard Dopehar, Janjaalpura and Ghairat, apart from telefilms Choolah Aur Chaardeevari and Sahara.
Shahid Nadeem has produced documentaries on human rights issues as well, a couple for Amnesty International, and one of them was selected for screening at the South Asian Documentaries Festival in 2001.
Not many are aware that Shahid Nadeem's plays have been included in the MA Punjabi syllabus in India. Recently Oxford University Press published a collection of English translations of his dramas. His association with the country's foremost theatre group Ajoka as its executive director has also been exceedingly productive.

Potts Camp takes two from Lewisburg
By BARRY BURLESON
Potts Camp teams wrapped up the regular season with home wins Friday.
The Lady Cardinals opened "Senior Night" by knocking off Lewisburg 54-41.
Scoring in double figures for coach Tana Miller's squad were Kenyotta Jenkins and Samantha Stinson with 14 each and Queen Dean with 10.
The Potts Camp girls built a commanding 28-10 lead at halftime and coasted the rest of the way. Miller said her team cut back on the turnovers - committing 15 - and that was a key in the win.
The Lady Cards improved to 15-11 on the season.
The Potts Camp boys used a 30-16 run in the second quarter to grab the momentum and down Lewisburg 81-74.
"We made some adjustments after the first quarter," coach Brian Smith said. "They had a couple of matchups that were hurting us. We went to a half-court trap and it was successful."
The first half ended with Korbin Smith nailing a three from beyond half court.
"That was a big lift for us," Coach Smith said.
Five Cardinals hit for double digits - Lavonte Richmond with 20, Johnathan Falkner with 18, Jeremy Siggers with 12, and LaDarrius Beard and Smith with 11 each.
Potts Camp upped its season mark to 15-13.
"It was good to end (the regular season) on a good note," Coach Smith. "Now we're looking forward to tournament play."
Earlier last week, Class A Potts Camp teams lost at Class 4A Lafayette County.
The Lady Cardinals fell 57-48. Jenkins and Dean scored 14 each. Tenesha Woods added 10.
The Potts Camp girls committed 37 turnovers.
"It was our ugliest game of the year," Coach Miller said.
The Potts Camp boys dropped a 59-45 decision to the Commodores. They trailed 29-13 at the half.
"We came out flat and didn't play well," Coach Smith said.
Richmond scored 15 and Beard eight.
Both Potts Camp squads opened play in the Region 3-1A Tuesday night at Hickory Flat. The semi-finals are Thursday starting at 4 p.m. and the consolation and championship games are Friday beginning at 4 p.m. The top four teams (boys and girls) advance.
"It's going to be a fight," Coach Miller said about the girls bracket. "We have to play with confidence, and cut down on our turnovers."

Tonight was Opening Night, and tomorrow is Opening Day. Yeah, I know, it's kind of confusing. But either way, Jhoulys Chacin will start against Yovanni Gallardo at 12:10 on Monday afternoon.
The opening day lineup should look something like this:
- Dexter Fowler – CF
- Josh Rutledge – 2B
- Carlos Gonzalez – LF
- Troy Tulowitzki – SS
- Michael Cuddyer – RF
- Todd Helton – 1B
- Wilin Rosario – C
- Chris Nelson – 3B
- Jhoulys Chacin – P
Not a bad lineup, actually. I like their lineup, it's just the pitching that is going to kill them. I think the lineup is set the right way, I just wish Tyler Colvin could have found his way onto the roster some way or another. Like I said in my last post, he'll eventually be up here.
But either way, Opening Day is tomorrow. The Rockies take on the Brewers, in Milwaukee, at 12:10 MT.

Yangwha Global Pty Ltd
ABS_CBN features Yangwha recruitment program.
Very satisfied Australian manager explains how his Filipino automotive technician won first place in a national competition.
Mike Smith from Yangwha Interviewed by Liz Hayes on 60 minutes
Liz Hayes explains why so many Australian employers chose Filipino workers in this interview with Mike Smith, Director of Yangwha Australia
100's of Australian companies do just this and this is the reason:
Net increase to their bottom line
If the total upfront placement cost of each worker is amortized over the 4 years of their visa it costs just $2,500 a year to employ a Filipino worker over and above an Australian worker, that is being paid the same salary – any length of time they stay over 4 years and most of them do, is a bonus on the deal.

Yangwha Australia has successfully sent thousands of skilled Filipino workers to hundreds of Australian companies. Our clients range from large multinational firms doing business in Australia to successful privately held and family run businesses. They come back to us again and again.
The Filipino work ethic, the widespread use of English as one of two national languages in the country and the naturally friendly nature of the culture make Filipino 457 workers their first choice for their manpower needs. The committed performance of these workers often raises the performance level of the entire workforce as reduced absenteeism and a strong work ethic driven by their desire to support families back home produces excellent employees.
With our careful screening processes, testing and proven ability to navigate Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) requirements for Standard Business Sponsorships, nominations and visa applications we are able to deliver a consistent level of excellent service to deliver skilled workers and follow up on their integration.
Yangwha Australia provides recruitment services and our sister company Yangwha Visa manages the visa process, giving employers a single point of contact and accountability for the process.
Yangwha Australia is proud to be part of the Yangwha Group. We are the Australia specialists and are proud to be partnered with one of the largest, most success and best regarded POEA approved employment agencies in the Philippines, YWA Human Resources Corp. Here are just a few of the accolades garnered by our ISO 9001 certified partner agency.

NEH Summer Institute for School Teachers 2014
Immigration, Migration, and the Transformation of the African-American Community in the 20th and 21st Centuries
Dates: July 13-31, 2014
Location: Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, Harlem, New York
Immigration and migration movements represent universal human experiences and expressions that ultimately transform societies and exploring these complex conditions offers a critical opportunity to understand the evolving notions of identity, culture, democracy, race and ethnicity. Yet, understanding immigration and migration movement within the context of black Americans has been far too limited through the narrative of slavery. It is the global black immigration and migration experience that gave birth to the nation's abolition movement which later transformed into the civil rights movement which in turn opened the door of opportunity for other global communities of color to gain access to the American communities through the Immigration Act of 1965.
The Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture, a division of The New York Public Library, will commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Immigration Act by developing an interactive three week summer institute of scholarship that will explore the dynamic legacy of black migration and immigration in the Americas through history, arts, culture, literature and digital media.
As the world's leading archive on the global black experience, the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture provides an unprecedented opportunity for creativity and intellectual exploration. Drawing upon our renowned collections and geographic location in the premiere immigrant city - New York City - the Summer Institute will work with leading historians, scholars, and educators to provide participants with a comprehensive intellectual experience to enhance their teaching of American history, from 1600 to today, with broad footing in all aspects of the humanities.
Application Deadline: March 2, 2015
Dates: July 13-31 (3 weeks)
Location: New York, New York

This is going to be an experiment. As some followers might know by now, for the 20th series (yes, Time Team has been going for twenty years!!), I'm going to be the lead archaeological director for the series, And by 'lead' I simply mean that I'll be doing most of the episodes. For Series 19 I posted blogs shortly before the programmes were broadcast, but this time I plan to do that too, but I'll also write day-by-day blogs to give readers an idea of what's been going on inside my head. Now I've got to be very careful: I mustn't give away where we're filming, or life will become impossible. So I don't intend to post any pictures: they can appear in the pre-broadcast post, as last time. So let's give it a whirl. And don't worry, if it doesn't work I'll soon drop it!Time Team is filmed on three days, but the team is on site for five. The first of these is known as Rig Day (when we rig up all the equipment, fit-out the Incident Room etc.) and the last as Record or Back-fill Day, when we note down what we found in the dig. I'll post blogs on the first four (on the fifth I'm normally collapsed in a heap in a train somewhere). So I'm writing this on Rig Day, bright and early, before I go out and feed 200 sheep. To be honest I'm a bit worried about this shoot. As some might know by now, Time Team had a difficult winter and I'm wondering now whether the old, relaxed atmosphere will be back. The site too, is going to be difficult. It's an Iron Age hillfort on the outskirts of a large city and we're going to be using large numbers of keen local volunteers. The trouble is, archaeology is a very disciplined business and it doesn't always mix very well (a) with large numbers and (b) with keen volunteers who may not have any practical on-site experience. The site, too, sounds very tricky. Sometimes hillforts in this part of the country can be very light on finds: pottery can be scarce and soil acids can have removed most bones. And if you find nothing on a Time Team it can be disastrous: 'What d'you think about this pebble, Francis?' 'It's a pebble…' 'Yes, but how old is it?' 'I've no idea…' 'But surely it suggest that Julius Caesar passed close by?' 'No, Tony. It doesn't…' And so on. It can be tough. When sites produce few finds we tend to favour the cameo, where somebody sets out to make or recreate something ancient. These little mini-films are great, and they help flesh-out the past, but they shouldn't become the main subject of the programme – which is what happens if the trenches don't produce any finds. So all in all, I won't say I'm dreading the next few days, but whatever happens, they won't be dull… Fingers crossed – stay posted!

I like the move and think it has more to offer than the Wii. Wii sports is totally cool. Has anyone had any injuries. I have been playing table tennis and really messed up my shoulder and back. It's like I pulled a muscle or pinched a nerve or something. Anyone else have a similar problem?

Category: 2012 NFL Draft
Miami Dolphins sign 3rd-round pick Olivier Vernon
- 2:34 pm Wednesday, July 25th, 2012 by Post Staff
The Dolphins agreed to terms on a four-year contract with rookie defensive end Olivier Vernon, a league source confirmed Wednesday afternoon after it was first reported by Yahoo Sports.
Vernon, a third-round pick (72nd overall) out of University of Miami, signed a four-year contract worth $2,848,080 with a $638,080 signing bonus. He will likely play this year as the Dolphins' pass-rushing specialist on obvious passing downs.
Vernon's signing means the Dolphins are down to two unsigned draft picks out of nine total — first-round quarterback Ryan Tannehill and third-round tight end Michael Egnew. According to several reports, the Dolphins and Tannehill are [More]
Chronological recap of the Miami Dolphins' 2012 offseason
- 1:36 pm Tuesday, July 10th, 2012 by Post Staff
"You may ask yourself, well, how did I get here?"
— The Talking Heads, "Once in a lifetime"
Today is July 10, exactly one month before the Dolphins' first preseason game at home against Tampa Bay. And the news wires are a little slow in the NFL these days.
The only thing that qualifies as an NFL event between now and the start of training camp is Thursday's supplemental draft, in which one team – maybe the Dolphins – will draft an interesting receiver named Josh Gordon. A source says the Dolphins were in attendance at Gordon's Pro Day on Tuesday, but so were about two dozen teams.
Other than that, we have 17 more days to kill until the Dolphins begin training camp.
But a lot has happened leading up to today — a new coaching staff was hired, new schemes are being implemented on both sides of the ball, several key pieces were added and subtracted, the fans revolted (and calmed down) and the Dolphins drafted a first-round quarterback for the first time since Dan Marino.
To paraphrase David Byrne, how did we get here? Let's take a chronological look back at Dolphins' offseason, beginning with the season-ending victory over the Jets and leading us up to today.
Talking Points: Miami Dolphins still can use a high draft pick on a wide receiver

1. Dolphins still have a chance to use a high draft pick on a rookie wide receiver.
They curiously didn't draft one until the sixth round of April's draft after trading away former No. 1 receiver Brandon Marshall to the Bears, but Jeff Ireland still has a chance to redeem himself, of sorts.
The NFL will hold its Supplemental Draft this Thursday at 1 p.m., and among the eight players eligible to be drafted is an intriguing wide receiver named Josh Gordon. He looks the part of NFL receiver – 6-foot-4, 220 pounds, with good vertical speed – and could turn himself into a second- or third-round prospect with a strong showing at his Pro Day tomorrow in Houston.
Seventh-rounder Rishard Matthews has a chance in anonymous WR corps
- 9:12 am Wednesday, May 16th, 2012 by Brian Biggane
Jeff Ireland's seventh-round pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, Jimmy Wilson, impressed as a rookie and could be in contention for a starting job at safety this year.
Could Ireland do it again in 2012 with Nevada wide receiver Rishard Matthews?
A 6-foot, 217-pounder who was the Wolfpack's leading receiver last season with 91 catches for 1,364 yards and eight touchdowns, Matthews will be given every chance to emerge from a receiver corps that, other than veterans Brian Hartline and Davone Bess, is made up entirely of unknowns.
Like Wilson, who served almost two years in prison before being exonerated of a first-degree murder charge, Matthews faces questions about his past. His father, Andre, was a Marine Corps master sergeant who would not allow Rishard to play football as a freshman and sophomore in high school. He also moved around, spending time at seven different high schools. [More]
Salary cap 101: Why the Miami Dolphins only need $2.36 million in salary cap space to sign their rookie class
- 10:33 am Thursday, May 10th, 2012 by Post Staff
Warning: Today's post contains a lot of math and not much football.
Free agency is essentially complete and the Dolphins' roster is mostly set for 2012, but one question I still hear a lot is, "How much salary cap space do the Dolphins need to sign their rookie class? Do they have to cut or restructure any guys to fit their rookies under the cap?"
In short, the answer is "no." But it's a complicated subject, so we'll do our best to explain it in plain English today.
Last week it was announced that the Dolphins will have exactly $6.438 million in salary cap space for its rookie class. And indeed, when the regular season begins, the Dolphins will have approximately $6.438 million worth of cap space represented by the rookies (a late-round player may not make the team).
But during the offseason, the Dolphins, who currently are $5.49 million under the salary cap after giving Cameron Wake his contract extension, don't need to get to $6.438 million to sign the rookie class. Instead, the Dolphins' rookie class will only add $2.36 million to the salary cap's bottom line.
How? First, quick background:
Miami Dolphins taking their time with rookie contracts
- 10:17 am Wednesday, May 9th, 2012 by Post Staff
One of the most significant changes to the NFL's new collective bargaining agreement is the rookie wage scale, a formula that essentially pre-determines a rookie's first contract based on his draft position, and leaves little room for negotiation. All rookie contracts are four years in length, with first-round picks receiving an option fifth years, and the money is essentially slotted, like it is in the NBA.
An anticipated side effect, of course, is that the wage scale removes the impetus for rookies to stage holdouts to get more money from their teams. Indeed, the rule is having its intended effect.
Under the old CBA, rookies generally wouldn't sign their contracts until July or so, and many first-round picks sat out of training camp as their agents negotiated their contracts. But this year, the first normal offseason under the new CBA, the rookie contracts are being signed at a record pace.
Already, two first-round picks have signed (Seattle's Bruce Irvin and San Diego's Melvin Ingram). The Seahawks have signed eight of their 10 draftees. The Redskins have signed five of nine. The Chargers have their first- and second-round picks under contract. The Bears, Steelers and Bucs have signed multiple rookies, and the Giants, Ravens and Eagles have also signed one of their draftees.
The Dolphins, though, apparently aren't in a rush, as several league sources said Tuesday that Dolphins general manager Jeff Ireland hasn't begun contract "negotiations" with his nine draftees on their rookie contracts.
Ranking the Rookies: How do they fit into the Miami Dolphins' plans for 2012?
- 10:51 am Tuesday, May 8th, 2012 by Post Staff
Jeff Ireland and Joe Philbin have stated repeatedly this offseason their desire to build the Dolphins through the draft, and so far they're staying true to their word – 25 of the 88 players currently under contract for training camp are rookies or first-year players.
Of course, not all rookies are created equal. Some will be expected to start right away, some will be counted on for special teams and many won't be here come September. Let's take a look at the rookie class and classify how they fit into the team's plans:
Level I: Immediate Starter
Ryan Tannehill set to take the field for the first time as Miami Dolphins begin 3-day rookie minicamp
- 9:35 am Friday, May 4th, 2012 by Post Staff
Ryan Tannehill will finally know today what it feels like to be a Miami Dolphin.
Tannehill and his fellow rookies will hit the practice field for the first time today as the Dolphins hold their mandatory three-day rookie minicamp, which will run through Sunday. All three days are closed to the public, but media is allowed to watch Friday's practice (2:30 p.m.), so we'll have updates on Tannehill and the other rookies later today.
Joining Tannehill will be the other seven members of the Dolphins draft class, as many as 17 undrafted free agents (the Dolphins had 73 of a maximum 90 players on the roster after the draft) and countless unsigned free agents looking for one last chance to impress the Dolphins' coaching staff. One such player will be former University of Miami quarterback Jacory Harris, who is practicing with the Dolphins this weekend and the Arizona Cardinals next weekend.
But coach Joe Philbin has low expectations for this weekend's minicamp. It's not like he'll be holding the Oklahoma Drill or going 11-on-11 full scrimmage.
"It's more of an orientation than a real camp, and it's going to be slower paced, not nearly as fast as we move with the other guys," Philbin said last week. "Hopefully, if the play's going to the right, (the goal is) to get everyone to step to the right and not run into one another. It's not going to be, 'Let's do a hundred up-downs and see whom we can run out of here.'"
Projected post-NFL Draft depth chart for the Miami Dolphins
- 9:53 am Wednesday, May 2nd, 2012 by Post Staff
Let's take a look at the Dolphins' projected depth chart now that the draft is complete and only a handful of players available in free agency. This depth chart doesn't include the undrafted free agents, who haven't officially signed with the Dolphins yet.
But here's how we see it now:
OFFENSE (38 players)
Mel Kiper Jr.: Joe Philbin, Mike Sherman will maximize Ryan Tannehill's talents
- 3:47 pm Monday, April 30th, 2012 by Brian Biggane
ESPN draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. was never a proponent that Ryan Tannehill should be a top-10 pick in this past weekend's NFL Draft, having slotted him as the 18th best player on his Big Board. But now that Tannehill is in Miami after being picked eighth, Kiper said Monday he couldn't have wound up in a better spot.
"However good he is going to be at the pro level, whatever he is going to develop into, this was probably the best-case scenario for him because of the help he's going to get," Kiper said on a conference call to wrap up the draft Monday.
"(Coach) Joe Philbin is the guru of quarterback gurus," Kiper went on. "He developed Matt Flynn and Aaron Rodgers (in Green Bay), and he not only developed them, he altered the delivery of Rodgers and he made Flynn tweak his mechanics.
"So in Tannehill he has a work in progress, and he'll understand that. So he (Tannehill) can watch and learn and it'll be a nice situation. How good is he going to be? Nobody knows that. Nobody knew Aaron Rodgers was going to be as good as he is right now. He went 24th in the draft."

When to DTR? Your opinions or advice??
So I've been talking to this guy for about a month now. It was more than friends from the beginning (we didn't know each other and I made a move out of nowhere). But we went on a date to a restaurant like 2 weeks ago, and hung out and his house and kissed. And we sometimes talk in school and text every night. Oh and he just asked me to prom. We've both said we like each other so I'm wondering is this normal? We haven't hung out in person in the last week (both been busy I think). But should we have DTR'd by now? Should I suggest hanging out? I don't want to be pushy but don't want him to lose interest either . Any advice or stories on when you DTR'd?
- Asked by Girl, 18-21
Hey hun I think I can help you out but first I need to know what dtr stands for cause I have absolutely no clue lol.
- Response by A Beauty Expert, Girl, 18-21, Farming
I think you mean define the relationship? For me when I'm in situations like that I usually talk to the person after about two months. I usually ask if he likes me and then ask what we are. I try not to pressure the guy so if the guy says yeah I like you I'll ask in what way, as a friend or something more. I'll also ask if they have been hooking up with other people and if they say yes you can assume they aren't really looking to date at that point. Usually the guy gets that you're asking what you guys are. If you want to date you should tell him cuz a guy may define it but he doesn't know what you want. But I get that sometimes it's nice to know if you're just friends who hook up or if the guys with other people. Good luck!

Posted: 3:20 AM, October 21st (Friday)
An intriguing book, written in a simplistic by very effective style, exploring the relationships between three college friends and the devastating effect one of the actions of those friends has on their future families. A few twists in the mix. I thoroughly enjoyed it and took my mind off all the other dramas in my life. A thoroughly good read either by deckchair on a sunny day with vodka and tonic or huddled up round the fire covered in a cashmire rug accompanied by a glass of mulled wine or a hot cocoa.

Cape Cod National Seashore Announces Changes in Shorebird Management and Off-Road Vehicle Access for 2012 Season
Contact: Shelley Hall, Chief, Natural Resources Management, 508-957-0737
Cape Cod National Seashore Superintendent George Price announced that there will be changes to the use of the Off Road Vehicle (ORV) Corridor as a result of a recent evaluation of suitable habitat for piping plovers. The immediate effect will be the closure of vehicle access to Hatches Harbor during the piping plover courtship and nesting period.Recent on-site consultations with officials of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service resulted in changes to the management of habitat in the Hatches Harbor area. Additional areas of the sandy spit of Hatches Harbor will be symbolically fenced in April, limiting vehicle access. Fencing and ORV access will be re-assessed as the season progresses, although changes are unlikely before the end of June. Piping plovers are listed as threatened under the Federal and Massachusetts Endangered Species Acts. This decision is consistent with both the 1996 Atlantic Coast Piping Plover Recovery Plan guidelines and the 1998 Negotiated Rule for Off-Road Vehicle Use within Cape Cod National Seashore.
The ORV corridor opens to the public on April 15 and it is anticipated that Race Point North and South beach access points will open, depending on nesting activity. The most up-to-date information on status of the ORV corridor can be obtained by calling the OFF-ROAD INFORMATION LINE at 508-487-2100 x 0926 or by checking www.nps.gov/caco.

Blaise Pascal (via shrenique)
In 2020, there will be a massive earthquake for an hour and all living things walking on land and swimming in the oceans will die. Only avian species will survive. If you want to survive, you need to start bending to the ground and whisper "please teach me how to fly" from today onwards. If you do that everyday, then by 2020, you'll have learnt to take flight. This is a special arrangement made for human beings by the god of earthquakes. Don't doubt it, or else you will die. I suggest you do it—after all, what do you have to lose?
There are six problems with Pascal's Wager:
1. If you believed every ridiculous, unproven theory you ever heard (like the one I outlined above) because it predicted dire consequences for you otherwise, how would you ever filter the nonsensical from the factually correct? Logic and evidence are the things that help us make all the other decisions in life—why should this god business be any different?
2. Pascal seems to think that believing or not believing in something is a matter of choice, even though it clearly is not. I do not believe in god because there is nothing to base such a belief on and because it raises far more questions than it solves. Even if you physically tortured me until I said that I believed in god, you wouldn't actually have made me believe in it, would you? It's not like you can flip a switch inside your brain and suddenly all your doubts vanish.
3. So, clearly Pascal wants you to just say that you believe in god and do all the things that believers do, and pray and stuff, right? In other words, just be religious to play it safe. But here's the thing: wouldn't this all-powerful god see through the farce? You could fool the world but you would never fool yourself and you'd definitely never fool this god character, so what's the point?
4. On a related note, wouldn't an almighty creator, a fair and just ruler of the world, value honesty and intellect over blind subservience fuelled by selfish motives? Wouldn't it pat you on the back for not having believed in it because you never found any evidence that supported the theory of its existence? Wouldn't it be proud that you lived your life without ever having asked for anything or relied for anything on a higher power whose existence you had no proof of? Would it really be so petty-minded about the little fact that you never spent hours praying to it and praising its lordliness? What, is it that low on self-esteem?
5. As for the argument that you don't lose anything if a god does not exist and you believe in it, well, I'd say you lose quite a lot. You get just one life and you spend a significant chunk of your time and money on a wasted endeavour, you inevitably begin to see artificial differences among your fellow humans based on which deity they choose to worship, you can lose your health if your religion advises you not to follow your doctor's advice when you are afflicted with serious diseases, you suppress your intellect and learn to be satisfied with not knowing; finally, you pass on this corrosive belief to the next generation, ensuring that the poison keeps spreading. That's a heck of a price to pay for believing in a fictional tale.
6. Finally, even if you choose to disregard all my arguments against Pascal's Wager and decide to believe in a god, you are still left with one very big problem: choice. Which god do you pick from the thousands that are doing the rounds? The one your parents believe in? But why, and what if they are wrong? What if you choose Islam and it turns out that Christianity was the right one? Or if you choose to worship Zeus but it's Krishna who wins in the end? You cannot even be diplomatic and worship all gods, because Jesus says that Christians should worship only him; and while Hinduism says that cows are sacred and should never be harmed, Muslims believe that not 'sacrificing' a cow will earn you a permanent reservation in hell.
You see, when it comes to religion, there is no such thing as a 'safe' choice. Not believing is far simpler.
