HYANNIS — When an elderly man from China arrived at the Cape Cod Hospital emergency room four years ago speaking a language staff members had never heard, they followed procedure and paged Cape Cod Healthcare's Interpreter Services manager Cecilia Phelan-Stiles to request a translator.
But when Phelan-Stiles learned that the man could speak only Fuzhounese, she was taken aback.
Having never heard of the dialect before, she did a quick Internet search and learned that it was spoken in the eastern part of China's Fujian Province. Within minutes, she had the man connected to a translator using an over-the-phone interpretation service.
"I was sure he would be able to speak either Mandarin or Cantonese, but he couldn't," Phelan-Stiles said. "I didn't immediately know about Fuzho, but as soon as I called them, they did."
Cape Cod Hospital is staffed with three full-time medical interpreters who speak Spanish and Portuguese but is capable of handling up to 198 other languages through part-time translators paid per diem or interpreter services provided over the phone by companies such as CyraCom and Pacific Interpreters, Phelan-Stiles said.
When a patient in need of an interpreter is arriving in an ambulance, emergency medical technicians will notify her department to give it time to call in a staff or per-diem translator or call up the interpreter service providers on a phone or iPad.
After the patient is seen, records will be updated to note language needs.
"If you go to hospitals in Boston, their departments are made up of 30 or 40 staff interpreters," she said. "I don't have access to all of those languages in person."
Police and fire departments also depend on over-the-phone translation services.
According to the Executive Office of Public Safety and Security, all 911 calls in Massachusetts that require interpreter services use Qwest Communications.
The service interprets more than 150 languages.
Barnstable police Sgt. Michael Riley said that in most cases even if someone in need of assistance isn't fluent in English, the person can identify whether it is a fire or police matter and then the address is tracked using GPS.
The more difficult part, he said, is conducting interviews in the field with a language barrier. Often, if there isn't anyone at Barnstable who speaks the language, the department will borrow an officer from another town or rely on family members.
The translator service is useful when officers need to convey technical information when booking a prisoner, Riley said.
If there is a scheduled interview, the department makes sure to have a qualified interpreter on scene, he said. Many of the officers have familiarized themselves with basic Portuguese and Spanish; one even put himself through language classes, he said.
In Brewster, all 911 calls come in through the Barnstable County Sheriff's Office and are transferred to the police, Capt. Heath Eldridge said.
At that point, officers are already en route and if necessary will call into Qwest or use translation apps they have on their cellphones when they arrive on scene.
Eldridge said with the GPS technology, language barriers seldom delay responses but can affect officers' preparedness.
"Certainly, if the dispatcher cannot give us all the information we'd like to have on hand, it prevents us from developing a strategy on the way," he said.
"Did the person's dog run away or is there a domestic violence situation? With a language barrier, there is no way of knowing what we're walking into."

President Bush launched a campaign-style offensive this week to defend his secret executive order allowing the National Security Agency to eavesdrop, without court warrants, on phone calls and Internet traffic in the United States.
His advisers hope the publicity blitz will impress the public in advance of Bush's State of the Union address next Tuesday and upcoming congressional hearings on whether the president has the authority to order such surveillance.
The road show is a distraction. If the president sees the need for an unbridled domestic eavesdropping program, he should negotiate its provisions with Congress.
Lawmakers in both parties have questioned whether the snooping is legal, and the Senate Judiciary Committee is planning hearings next month. Many legal experts believe Bush has broken the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which requires the federal government to show probable cause to intercept communications in this country. The law is so flexible it even gives the government leeway, whenever time is of the essence, to get a warrant after the fact - up to 72 hours later. Nonetheless, the Bush administration says the president has the authority as commander in chief to simply ignore the letter of the law.
On the campaign trail, the president is re-branding the surveillance program to make it seem more palatable. "It's what I would call a terrorist surveillance program," Bush said Monday during a town-hall-style session at Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kan.
Polls suggest the public is divided on the issue, although two recent surveys indicate most Americans favor the NSA obtaining a warrant whenever it sees a purpose to snoop on domestic communications.
Bush's reasoning is laid out in a 42-page paper from Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, which says the president's authority to conduct warrantless intercepts is in keeping with war powers passed by Congress after the 2001 terrorist attacks. That tact is contradicted by a Congressional Research Service analysis that questions the legal justifications for the eavesdropping and limited notification of Congress.
"It appears unlikely that a court would hold that Congress has expressly or impliedly authorized the NSA electronic surveillance operations here," the authors of the CRS report wrote. The administration's legal justification "does not seem to be ... well-grounded."
Congress needs to conduct comprehensive hearings on the legality of the NSA's eavesdropping program and not rely on the attorney general's self-serving interpretation of the Constitution.

South Hills lab makes tools to test carbon capture
Using technology developed at a federal energy laboratory in Pittsburgh's South Hills, scientists were able to track whether carbon dioxide stored underground escaped and mixed with atmosphere's greenhouse gases, a federal researcher said.
Scientists were able to improve detection of carbon dioxide in underground storage by using ultrasensitive instruments to detect tracers added to the gas, said Brian Strazisar, a scientist at the National Energy Technology Laboratory in South Park. The movement of carbon dioxide — tested at a New Mexico pilot project — could be followed with the instruments developed at the lab in South Park.
Capturing carbon dioxide from pollution sources such as coal-fired power plants and factory smokestacks and storing it underground is seen as one way of reducing emissions that some scientists say are linked to global warming.
"We're leading the carbon capture and sequestration program for the whole federal government," said David Anna, a spokesman for the National Energy Technology Laboratory at South Park.
The lab administers $150 million spent annually to develop technology, infrastructure and regulations to implement large-scale projects to store carbon dioxide in coal, natural gas, oil and saline rock formations in the U.S. and Canada, the Department of Energy said.
From the lessons learned at the New Mexico site, researchers can determine whether carbon dioxide, with the tracers added, is seeping from where it is stored underground, said John Litynski, coordinator for partnerships working on carbon capture and storage.
"We can tell the difference between the natural carbon dioxide (in the atmosphere) and the injected" carbon dioxide, Strazisar said. That would help to eliminate some of the uncertainty surrounding carbon capture and sequestration, he added.
One of the instruments developed for the program won a R&D Magazine Top 100 award for inventions in 2009, and a patent is pending, Strazisar said. The special instruments can find the tracers underground in amounts as low as four parts per quadrillion.
"It will help us better understand where carbon dioxide is moving underground when we inject it," said Sean McCoy, manager of the Carbon Capture and Sequestration Regulatory Project at Carnegie Mellon University in Oakland. McCoy was not involved in the project in New Mexico.
The partnerships have implemented at least 25 small-scale geologic storage test sites, which are designed to demonstrate the potential to store thousands of years worth of carbon dioxide emissions underground, the Energy Department said.
There are no carbon storage sites in Pennsylvania, Strazisar said, but there are two in Ohio: near Cincinnati and south of Shadyside, which is about eight miles south of Wheeling, W.Va.

November 28, 2015
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities say a burglar's decision to knock back a couple of beers during a break-in at an upstate New York home led to his arrest.
Onondaga County prosecutors tell The Post-Standard of Syracuse that 29-year-old Moses Wilson was stealing copper piping from a vacant rental home in Syracuse in early February when he found an unopened case of beer in the basement.
Officials say he drank some of the beer during the burglary. Prosecutors say police were able to match Wilson's DNA to DNA found on the cans.
Wilson was arraigned Tuesday in Onondaga County Court on charges of burglary and petit larceny. He is being held in jail on $10,000 bail. It couldn't immediately be determined if he had a lawyer.

Neknomination spurs positive actionComment on this story
Durban - It started with a letter from a class of Grade 11 pupils who did not have a school library, and culminated in a Neknomination. Now, MTN has become the first of South Africa's cellular network operators to agree to provide its subscribers with access to Wikipedia free of data charges.
It was two years ago that pupils from Sinenjongo High in the Joe Slovo Park township in the Western Cape first started petitioning to get free access to the online encyclopedia on their cellphones, to help them with their schoolwork.
Moved by their appeal, a team from the Wikimedia Foundation flew to the country to film their request.
In the video clip, the pupils explain that while 90 percent of them had cellphones, they could not afford to buy a lot of airtime, and that in Kenya and Uganda, free access to Wiki-pedia was already a reality.
Shortly thereafter The Mercury published an open letter from Stellenbosch University education researcher Nic Spaull, addressed to chief executives of Vodacom, MTN and Cell C, challenging them to "put the world's knowledge in the hands of millions of South African youths".
Last week, tea brand Five Roses threw down the gauntlet in the form of a Neknomination – in keeping with the local trend of putting a positive spin on the worldwide drinking game.
MTN responded with a video clip of its own to the pupils of Sinenjongo, telling them that it would grant their wish.
Asked if it would follow suit, Vodacom said it was exploring a programme to give pupils free access to educational content that was "broader than Wikipedia".
Telkom Mobile said that it was evaluating its options on how to offer free access to Wiki-pedia as a standalone value added service.
Cell C had not yet responded by the time of going to press.
Spaull expressed his excitement, saying that people did not realise what a difference free access to information made for children living in poor and isolated areas.
"A 2010 survey showed that only 13 percent of schools have any access to the internet and if we exclude Gauteng and the Western Cape that figure plummets to five percent. Yet many of these children have phones that could access Wikipedia if not for the data charges which have now been waived on MTN. So this is really exciting," Spaull said.
MTN's free Wikipedia access will be effective from the end of the month. - The Mercury

"Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more."
Oprah Winfrey
I get asked a lot why I started Girlfriendology. I think most women find the topic of female friendship such a given or, on the other end of the spectrum, most men have never considered the relationships between women to be of any interest. And sometimes, women and men, just get it. Whatever response, I don't mind.
I tell them how in 2005, two of my good girlfriends were dealing with cancer. How I struggled for how to be a good friend to them and how it made me consciously crave being around my female friends, both the ones dealing with cancer and the rest of my friends.
I tell them how I then did some research on the relationship of female friendship and found proof that girlfriends make us healthier, happier, less stressed, live longer and feel more beautiful. (Lots of great info in The Tending Instinct, by Shelley E Taylor and the 'feel more beautiful' benefit from a study by Dove skincare.) If they're women, I remind them how being with their friends reduces, and often even removes, stress.
On this special day of giving Thanks, I'm so thankful for the gift of female friendship. I'm blessed with girlfriends who are there for me, who care about me and who love me even when I'm far from being the perfect friends. I'm grateful for the women and their friendships who have inspired me everyday on Girlfriendology. I'm honored to have had wonderful women along the way who have helped me making Girlfriendology an amazing community of women – including our 'Chief of Insanely Brilliant Ideas' the fabulous, fun and smart JUDI COGEN. (Thanks for ALL YOU DO!)
On this day of giving thanks, I want to keep this 'attitude of gratitude' going. I want to be thankful for my friends on a daily basis. I want to recognize the blessings of amazing people in my life on an on-going basis. I want to keep the feeling of thankfulness going all year.
Thanks for the gift of your friendship, for being a friend to your friends, for inspiring others in your life.
Happy Thanksgiving Girlfriends! Thanks for being you!

Women's Reproductive Freedom Ensures Our Survival, Kavita Ramdas Explains Why
On the occasion of the speech on women's reproductive rights given on 8 January by Secretary of State Hilary Clinton at the State Department, IPS published an op-ed by Kavita Ramdas, President and CEO of the Global Fund for Women.
The Global Fund for Women (GFW) is the world's largest women's foundation dedicated to advancing the rights of women, working with women's groups in 161 countries.
Supported by the Dutch MDG3 Fund, GFW is helping the work of grass roots women-led civil society organisations in Asia. Within its MDG3 programme of work, IPS is partnering with GFW and other MDG3 Fund co-grantees organisations committed to women's empowerment to strengthen the visibility of their own work.
For a more general analysis of the new thrust of US development policy, read a related story here.
SPECIAL OP-ED: Why Women's Reproductive Freedom Ensures Our Survival
By Kavita N. Ramdas*
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan 8, 2010 (IPS) – Fifteen years ago in Beijing, then first lady, Hillary Clinton, stated firmly, "Women's rights are human rights." Today, after eight years of non-existent U.S. support for women's reproductive rights, Secretary of State Clinton is reviving women's hopes around the globe by affirming the Obama Administration's support for the International Conference on Population and Development Action Plan.
This historic agreement, signed by 180 nations in Cairo in 1994, outlined a visionary 20-year strategy for making family planning universally available by 2015.
The Cairo declaration saw women's human rights take a quantum leap forward. For the first time, a global consensus acknowledged that the empowerment and economic independence of women and education of girls were integral to meeting global population and development goals. It was the first time that an international document clearly stated that women had the right to determine their own reproduction. Principle 4 of the Action Plan states: "ensuring women's ability to control their own fertility, is a cornerstone of population and development-related programmes."
The Global Fund for Women supported dozens of women's groups from developing nations who collectively helped shape the outcomes of that historic gathering. Founding President, Anne Firth Murray, noted that the Cairo Declaration was the first major UN document that defined women as independent sexual beings, not merely child-bearers or mothers. In her words, "This was a revolution in women's empowerment."
The Cairo consensus provided much needed ballast for women's groups seeking to amend laws and cultural norms that kept women silent on an issue vital to the well-being of their families and communities: control over their bodies. From villages in Bangladesh to urban favelas in Brazil, women used the language of Cairo to push for concrete gains in accessing reproductive health and rights. In many ways, worldwide family planning has been a huge success: the global birth rate halved from 1950 to 2005. Many women around the world now view their right to freely and responsibly make decisions over their reproduction, free from coercion and violence, as a basic human right.
Yet, for some, the commitment to spreading freedom around the globe stops far short of ensuring women's reproductive freedom. At a recent House Foreign Affairs Committee, Republican Congressman Christopher Smith aggressively questioned Hillary Clinton about whether the Obama administration's policies on reproductive health, services and rights included access to abortion. Clinton responded unapologetically. "Family planning is an important part of women's health and reproductive health includes access to abortion that I believe should be safe, legal and rare."
We are going to need more straight talk of this nature and walk our talk if we want to ensure that the groundbreaking gains of Cairo are not eroded by a growing conservative and religious backlash. Despite the dedicated work of the United Nations and women's rights advocates worldwide, over 500,000 women still die annually from preventable childbirth related injuries and illnesses. According to Population Action International, one in 65 women in developing countries risks dying during pregnancy or childbirth in her lifetime. Many of these are related to complications arising from unsafe abortions. In Mexico alone, up to 500,000 illegal abortions occur annually.
These are daunting statistics, but there is hope. This is evident not only in the creation of the White House Council on Women and Girls or the overwhelming vote by the General Assembly to establish a new UN agency for women. There is also growing interest among policy makers and philanthropists in the benefits of improving education and opportunities for women and girls. Raj Shah, the new head of USAID has said, "We have a wealth of data and information that show that a dollar provided to a woman is more likely to be invested in child welfare, in education, in the health of a family and the sustainability of a community."
I have hope, even if women's rights advocates fail to convince our opponents on moral grounds. I have no doubt we will prevail using the far more sobering statistics about basic planetary and human survival.
Secretary Clinton's speech comes on the heels of a dismal global conversation on climate change that made it all too clear that we must find ways to effectively offset carbon emissions. Population growth and climate change will collide in ways that will put all our lives at risk and will most grievously harm the poorest countries.
In the Global Fund's own experience, when girls and women have greater access to education – not just the 3 R's: reading, 'riting and 'rithmetic, but also the 3 C's: courage, contraception, and choice – their improved health leads to positive community outcomes including economic growth and sustainable development. We agree with columnist Ellen Goodman: "if we can lighten the burden on the planet while widening the chances for women," that's our kind of offset. And, at least on the issues of women's reproductive rights, this is proving to be our kind of State Department.
* Kavita N. Ramdas is President and CEO of the Global Fund for Women, the world's largest women's foundation dedicated to advancing the rights of women. (END)

Protestors want Wayne County Executive Robert Ficano to step down
DETROIT (WXYZ) - The Wayne County severance scandal is prompting protestors to call for Robert Ficano to step down.
The protestors who gathered today outside Wayne County headquarters say the county commissioners who are investigating the severance scandal just have too many close ties to Robert Ficano. They want the attorney general to step in and investigate.
"We're fed up with this corruption," said Detroit resident Sandra Hines. Hines says she organized this Coalition Against Corruption in Wayne County Government because she wants County Executive Robert Ficano to step down. The Action News Investigators first told you how Ficano's Economic Development chief, Turkia Mullin, got a $200,000 payout when she voluntarily quit her job to become CEO of Metro Airport, where she's now making $250,000 a year.
"We can't have them using our money like that, when we don't even have lights in Highland Park," said Hines.
Even though the Wayne County Commissioners are investigating Mullin's severance, and the compensation packages for Ficano's other appointees… Hines says she wants Attorney General Bill Schuette to conduct an independent investigation.
"We do not feel that the Wayne County Commissioners can do it because most of them have received funds, campaign funds from Mr. Ficano. And we don't want more corruption, them letting him off the hook because gave them money for their campaigns," said Hines.
In fact, Ficano's Political Action Committee fund has given more than $75,000 to the campaigns of the current Wayne County Commissioners since 2008.
Hines says her group doesn't think Ficano's punishment of two of his top appointees involved in Mullin's pricey parting gift is enough..
On Friday Ficano suspended Deputy County Executive Azzam Elder and Director of Corporation Counsel Mariann Talon for 30 days without pay. Hines wants them fired – along with another appointee Michael Grundy. Grundy is accused of being one of the people who allegedly trying to pressure State Rep. John Olumba into withdrawing his request for an Attorney General investigation.
"The people are not going to stop, we're not going to give up on putting in the right people, if we got to throw these people out, then we need them to step down. They need to step out of the way and let honest people come forward," said Hines.
The Attorney General has not started an investigation yet. They are waiting to see if another prosecutor in Michigan wants to take up the case first, which they say is the protocol.
But remember, as we first reported on Friday, the FBI is now involved in this – so someone is looking into Wayne County to see if laws were broken.

thinking of something similar? Were you attempting to call the relationship off with them as well? Why? Perhaps youve a lot of options… perhaps they took you too lightly. Maybe you Why Do I Keep Dreaming Of My Ex Husband were a great deal better and they didn't realize… and you get the point. Another thing you utterly want to do is to cut off all communication with your ex. To be sincere this is difficult task.
So be romantic be friendly and all the rest of the good things but always be yourself. Absolve the Past. Be willing and able to let go of the past. When confronted with the chance to converse with your ex do not keep bringing up the past as a weapon and blame her for things that went wrong.
If you had a truly loving relationship with your boyfriend before let him know that your caring for him is still alive and well: he is probably not getting it from whomever he is dating now. Send him a single rose. Send him a card.

Rossview forward Janie White added to her basketball awards list with her second straight All-Area Girls Basketball Player of the Year award after leading Rossview to the Class AAA state semifinals two months ago.
- Filed Under
It's no coincidence that when Janie White showed up on Rossview High's basketball roster, the Lady Hawks started winning games in bunches.
The year before her arrival, the Lady Hawks won only eight games. When White joined Rossview as a freshman in 2010-11 the team improved to 22-6. It would begin four straight years of 20-plus wins that would catapult the Lady Hawks into a District 10 power while solidifying White's status as one of the school's all-time best athletes.
And White saved her best season for her last, guiding Rossview to a program-best 28-4 record, capturing the District 10 ...

It is impossible to find and there are no signs anywhere in town pointing you in the right direction. We didn't arrive at the place until after 5pm only to be told that our room wasn't ready yet as they were still cleaning it and that it would take another hour or so. It turned out that they were actually building our hut and it wasn't going to be ready till the next day at 5pm. We were slightly surprised at this and decided not to stay there because of their complete incompetence.

Unfortunatly, we weren't able to stay at MyPlace Agonda because the Hostel was under construction and there was no way we could have stayed there. The staff tried to put us in a room but the room had no plumming and no furniture and looked like it was in the middle of construction. We were very disappointed by MyPlace Agonda as well as by LonelyPlanet.com since they still had the Hostel on there webside available for booking. Also the contact numbers given are not correct.

Most vehicles on the road these days still use a distributor which performs via timed and sequenced delivery of sparks to fire the engine cylinders. Your Pontiac Gto distributor won't be efficient at realizing that if its parts like the cap and rotor aren't in perfect form because they are actually the units that work well to transport electricity from your coil to the appropriate cylinder.
One of the benefits of this type of ignition is, you can easily see whether your distributor starts to malfunction since the signals it gives out are linked to your ride's ignition. One of the indicators that the specific distributor in your Pontiac Gto is already damaged are problems in starting the vehicle specifically on winter, unexplained wiggling which could vary from slight rumbling to apparent banging, as well as squealing sound which is typically high-pitched. Before ordering a replacement, it's good to try to bring back the distributor's functionality by carefully cleaning it; nevertheless, whether or not this doesn't work, you have no option but to purchase a new one.
In this site, the high-quality Pontiac Gto distributor you may need is just a few clicks away and it may be obtained anytime at reasonable rates. Since we work with reputable companies within the automotive industry like YEC, Standard, and Bosch, you are usually assured with products that will serve you well for a while.

Luxury Goods recently posted a poll on a few of our favorite social networking sites posing the burning question: Owl City? Or The Postal Service? The debate has been an ongoing one since Owl City gained the much sought after spot on every teenage girls iPod with the song 'Fireflies', and we found out may or may not shock you. 60% of the people who responded to our poll liked The Postal Service over Owl City, and they were very animated about their preference. Even though their sounds are similar, The Postal Service won by a great deal of people. Is it their originality? Perhaps their lyrics? Or maybe it's because they were the first to create this type of musical swag. Regardless the fans have make it very clear who they like the most.
The Postal Service is from Seattle Washington and consists of two already legendary musicians: Jimmy Tamborello and Death Cabs for Cutie's Ben Gibbard. They created a unique indie music sensation by using a heavy rotation of electronic instruments, and their already trademarked guitars, vocals, and personable lyrics. Some of their fans say, "Their voices sound so good when they mend together," and, "They're more musically mature, not as kid like".
On the flip-side Owl City is a one-man band named Adam Young. He writes his own lyrics, creates his own beats, and has launched a new sensation in music we like to call 'the bedroom musician'. In 2007, while living in his parent's basement in Owatonna, MN, he began recording his own music created by his collection of electronic gadgets that are essentially available to just about anyone out there with some money and creative inspiration. His fans love him because they say, "He's a good live performer," and, "His songs put you in a good mood!"
By sharing 40% of the votes Owl city is still working their way up, even though Adam has admitted to loosely copying The Postal Service (just do a Google search to read more and become part of the debate). Based on Owl City's radio hit 'Fireflies' people would think they should've won, but the consensus seems to be we all have our own opinion.

Sisters Grimm: Summertime in the Garden of Eden (Theatre Works and Griffin Theatre)
Every single element of a Sisters Grimm production arrives with a pair of inverted commas hovering close by. Some individual elements, like the beautiful and hirsute Southern belle Daisy May (played by self-proclaimed pirate, mermaid and stripper Agent Cleave), are more inverted than others. Cleave is playing a "woman" rather than a woman. So far, so queer.
Agent Cleave (Check out AC performing with Peaches, here.)
By contrast, the casting of Bessie Holland as the widowed patriarch Big Daddy is more like gender-blind casting. There isn't an actor this side of Colonel Harland Sanders' resting place in Louisville Kentucky better suited to playing a civil wartime plantation owner. Holland recycles every hoary old cliché of cinematic melodrama and finds extraordinary authenticity within them. Watching Holland, one is constantly aware that one is watching the impossible: a caricature made flesh. And, thus, one is constantly alert. To detail and to possibilities.
Genevieve Giuffre is another miraculous actor. Her natural facility is to play goofy. But on the strength of her performances this year you wouldn't hesitate to cast her as Desdemona or Othello. Or, indeed, Iago. Here, Greene has cast her as Mammy, an obedient, spiritual-singing, middle-aged black maid.
More precisely, Giuffre plays a dreaded and bling-wearing modern urban woman pretending to be subservient, though Mammy stops short of Uncle Tom-style self-deprecation. It's this aspect of the production -- with its use of golliwogs -- that causes the most heart-burn. And provokes the most laughter. Squirming and nervous laughter.
That laughter is a means, however, not an end. Likewise, the sexual intrigue in this savage Garden of Eden is less about the shame of miscegenation than it is about closeted homosexuality and denied desire.
The setting is the deep south at the start of the American Civil War. Big Daddy is making preparations for a party to welcome home his prodigal daughter Honey Sue (Olympia Bukkakis) who fled the fold the night of her 16th birthday, a decade or so earlier.
While family members and Daisy May's devious fiancé Clive (Peter Paltos) jockey for a share of Big Daddy's estate, the old order -- slavery included -- is collapsing around them.
Summertime in the Garden of Eden is another mind-blowing outing from an ingenious and increasingly consistent company. But it's not a play for the faint of heart or the easily offended.
Summertime in the Garden of Eden by Ash Flanders and Declan Greene. Sisters Grimm. Theatre Works, 14 Acland Street St Kilda, until November 16. Then SBW Stables Theatre, Kings Cross, for Griffin Theatre, November 20 to December 14.

France's national library hopes to buy Sade's "120 Days of Sodom"
PARIS — "The 120 Days of Sodom," by the Marquis de Sade, is one of the most perverse works of 18th-century literature.It tells the story of four rich "libertines" who lock themselves in a remote medieval castle with 46 victims (including eight boys and eight girls, ages 12 to 15). The men are assisted by four female brothel keepers who arouse their hosts by recounting their outlandish (and embellished) experiences....Even Bruno Racine, director of the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, the National Library, calls it "depraved."But that hasn't stopped him from negotiating long and hard to buy Sade's manuscript. He has convinced the Foreign and Culture Ministries of its importance. He has argued in front of the Commission of National Treasures to declare it provisionally a "national treasure" that needs to be preserved in the library. And he is ready to pay more than $5 million to get it....

About us…
Whatever your reasons for wanting to write--for publication, for memoir writing, for self discovery, to leave a legacy for family and friends, for healing, for spiritual journeying or simply because you have to--we welcome you. If you want to be a writer, the best encouragement and support for that accomplishment is with the help of a writing and critique group.
We are intentionally a small group of ladies who write alone but meet to critique as a group.
Even as lonely scribes, we need to sometimes come out of our caves for help and inspiration in generating the right words, for getting answers, for accountability, for encouragement and stimulating ideas, for sharing accomplishments and for getting and receiving non-biased critiques.
We meet every Saturday afternoon for 3 hours in the Cedar Park/Leander area. Because it is difficult to have a group meeting without attendees, we request that you carefully consider whether you can commit to attending at least two meetings a month; if you cannot, please consider how serious you are about calling yourself a writer. At least once per month you need to present a piece of your writing.
The Ladies-in-Writing are waiting. Come share your creativity and enthusiasm for writing. All skill levels welcome. We primarily do mainstream fiction, non-fiction, and memoir. We do not do critiques for poetry or erotica/porn. We tend to be less helpful with fantasy and sic-fi, but we will try.

Ice-Age : Mesolithic : Neolithic : Crop Marks : Greenbogs : Long Barrows
The Ice Age
The striking mountain range of Bennachie lies 7 miles to the North of Monymusk and dominates the local landscape with its distinctive volcanic shaped peak - the Mither Tap. Despite this shape, it was never a volcano, but the peak has been the inspiration behind many local legends.
The Bennachie range was formed 400 million years ago by a mass of sedimentary rock pushing upwards in the earth's crust. It cooled slowly under a mass of sediment which has gradually worn away to expose the granite underneath. There are 6 main peaks on the range, which are made of harder granite and have been able to resist the weathering and ice better. Some of the peaks have exposed rock, which are known to geologists as tors. Mither Tap is a tor and the most prominent of the peaks on the Bennachie range, yet the highest point is the Oxen Craig at 528 m. The range may have originally been 2 or 3 times higher with great jagged peaks, but during the Ice-Age, enormous ice sheets ten thousand feet thick covered the landscape, tearing the rock as they moved along and flattening the surface to leave a range 8 km long and 5km wide. Immediately to the West of this range is the smaller Menaway Range and Monymusk nestles at the end of this line of hills. The huge clumps of granite rock were dragged along underneath the ice sheets and once the ice melted, about 10 500 years ago, an environment littered with rocks and boulders and bare soil was revealed.
Gradually plant life returned and in flat water logged areas between the peaks, peat bogs were formed by vegetation accumulating, rather than decaying. As the climate got warmer birch began to take hold in the lower regions, followed by other tree species such as pine, hazel, rowan, holly, aspen and oak. This provided shelter for many animals returning from the South, including reindeer, Arctic fox, bear, northern lynx, boar, wolf, roe deer and red deer. Many of these woodland animals are unknown in the area today, due to the ancient Caledonian forests being cleared and destroyed. After the Ice-Age as men settled they slowly increased the cultivated areas they farmed, the Monks continued this process until the only forests left were the ones on very poor infertile land and in the hills. Once the whole length of Britain was covered with large and small rocks and boulders, but over the Centuries they have been broken up and used as building materials or cleared to make way for agriculture.
At Monymusk there are still some very large stones left in the middle of fields, which were too large to break up and have been left as a reminder of the past. Local legends tried to explain the existence of these huge rocks. For example, it was once believed that there had been warring giants living on the tops of the mountains nearby who hurled rocks at one another.
Mesolithic (Middle Stone Age) from 8000 BC to 4000 BC
The first evidence of humans in Scotland is from around 8000 BC, 2000 years after the last Iceage. These people were hunter-gatherers hunting for wild food, such as deer or fish. They lived in small groups along the rivers, in structures made from wood and animal hides and made tools from stone, flint, bone and antler and were skilled in archery, leatherwork and basket weaving. Archaeologists have discovered the remains of their encampments along the River Dee in Aberdeenshire.
Neolithic (New Stone Age) - from 4000 BC to 2000 BC
The nomadic, hunter-gatherer way of life continued without change until around 4000 BC when the ideas of farming were introduced from the Mediterranean. This sparked a social revolution as people began to settle on the fertile uplands and plains. They initially lived in log cabins in small settlements and wore animal hides. They grew crops and kept animals such as cattle, sheep and pigs, whilst also continuing to hunt for wild food. Many people remained semi-nomadic and they moved with their animals to find winter pasture, or when an area of land could no longer support crops. They would return to the same areas after a few generations when the land had time to regenerate itself.
They continued to make hand tools such as axes, hammers and arrow heads from flint, which produces a razor sharp edge. Pottery has also been discovered from this period, which also helps to confirm they were a more settled population, as clay pots are heavy items to carry around. The style of the pottery usually dates the archaeological find. Many flint weapons have been found in Monymusk and in just one single site near Todlachie Burn (map ref: NJ 68 15), the following objects were found:- 2 flint implements, possibly borers; 3 carved stone balls with numerous spherical knobs - between 65-70mm in diameter; the cast of a carved stone ball 74mm in diameter; and a perforated stone axe hammer.
Many carved stone balls have been discovered in the area; a ball 70mm in diameter when digging the foundations for the present Monymusk Primary School (built 1907) and another at Braehead with a diameter of 76mm. A stone axe was also found at Ardneidlie in 1904. Thousands of these decorated stone balls have been discovered all over Aberdeenshire. Although no-one really knows for sure what they were for, suggestions include weapons, currency or that they were simply decorative items. There is also a theory that they are a kind of Stone Age vernier scale for the fine tuning of stone circles for the planting of crops etc.
Crop Marks
The Monymusk area has much evidence of 'crop marks', which are archaeological features from prehistoric times revealed from the air when the crops have become established in Spring and early Summer. Crop marks can reveal old enclosures, banks and ditches, burial pits or the sites of houses or other buildings. Crop marks form due to a difference in the soil structure in the areas which have been disturbed when digging pits for burial or holes for erecting structural poles for houses. In these areas of disturbance there is a greater depth of soil, which nourishes the crops growing on these sites and reveals the structures that were once there. There is a rectangular crop mark at Haddoch, Monymusk, which archaeologists believe is the possible site of a house from the Neolithic period.
Neolithic Settlement - Greenbogs, Monymusk
Map Reference: NJ 680 161
In 1995 a Neolithic Settlement dating back some 6000 years was discovered at Greenbogs beside the River Don, half a mile to the North of Monymusk village at Pitfichie. The field undulates in 3 large waves from North to South and is situated on the bank about 8 feet above the River Don. There is a clear view down-river to the South-East, Bennachie to the North and it is one field away from the Monymusk Stone Circle to the South. Sir Archie was following the tractor as it levelled the area when he noticed darker round marks at regular intervals appearing. He realised they had to be man-made and contacted Aberdeenshire Council's Archaeology Department. Moira Greig led the expedition to excavate the whole area and discovered that the site appeared to have been used from at least the Neolithic period right through to the Bronze Age.
Discoveries were made in 3 areas. In the most northerly area was a small cremation cemetery with evidence of 5 small burials. In those days bodies were burned and buried in a small pot. One of these 5 holes still contained the remains of most of a pot with a cremated bone inside, so the site could be dated by the pot. In the central area they found remains of a palisade with 23 postholes still visible and evidence of 2 deep burning pits, containing ash 20 feet deep. In the third area they found the remains of 3 large round huts shown by the circular post holes, that Sir Archie had noticed.
Source: Aberdeenshire Archaeological Monuments Records Service
At Archaeolink, an archaeological visitor's centre near Insch at the back o' Bennachie, there is a reconstruction of a round hut which was based on one of the huts excavated at Monymusk. It is not hard to imagine why settlers chose this spot in Monymusk, as the battlement of hills to the north and west would have provided very good shelter and the low wet ground to the East and South would have been full of fish, duck and wild birds for hunting. The idea of living in a tent in Scotland during the winter does not appeal today, but in fact the temperature was actually 10 degrees warmer in those days, like the South of France now, and all the trees were deciduous.
Long Barrows
The Neolithic people buried their dead in long barrows. There were 2 main types: 'earthen long barrows' made completely of earth and 'megalithic or chambered long barrows' made from a chamber of stones (cists). The long barrows were communal tombs, holding from up to fifty adults and children. They were up to 350 feet in length with a wider end pointing to the East - towards the rising of the sun, which was of special significance. The barrows were centres of religious activity, centering on the dead and fertility. Often ceremonies were performed at the entrances to the barrow using the bones of the dead, and the bodies were only interred after the bones had been cleaned or all the flesh had rotted away. Sometimes the bones were burned in a form of cremation ceremony before they were buried. The bodies were very rarely buried with any goods, apart from arrowheads or broken pottery shards, so there is not usually much evidence to suggest what kind of people were buried there, or to indicate importance. It does perhaps indicate that they did not attach importance to wealth or status but lived communally. The archaeological evidence suggests that the people of the Neolithic Age began to turn towards the spiritual world with the construction of henges, cairns, stone circles and standing stones, which are all thought to have had religious significance.

Stephen Curry's Memorable Night In MSG!
If you bought tickets for the Knicks vs. Warriors game last night you were in for a treat in Madison Square Garden. If you were rooting for the New York you definitely got your money's worth as you witnessed Carmelo get his usual 35 points and watched Tyson Chandler grab a career high 28 rebounds that went toward a Knicks victory. But the story of the night belongs to Golden State Warrior's point guard Stephen Curry, who put on a show of his own. Curry was 18 of 28 from the field, finishing one 3-pointer shy of the NBA record with 11 in 13 attempts. The crowd was able to root for their Knicks as well as be in awe of the display Mr. Curry put on achieving a career high of 54 points.
The final score was New York Knicks 109 Golden State Warriors 105.

I had dark blue eyes when I was a baby but now I have hazel eyes. I didn't even know that till my mom told me yesterday! I didn't notice it in my baby pics either.

Almost a month ago my dad and I were on a camping trip and there weren't any mosquitos but the first day I forgot bugspray and my legs got bitten by flies. The bites appeared, itched, and generally acted like mosquito bites, but it's been a month and they're still there! Now they are flat, and just like dark spots on my lower legs and they don't itch, but I'm wondering if they'll ever go away! If you have any ideas I'd be grateful.
Hey girl,
If you scratch bug bites too much, you can scar the skin. They'll likely go away, but talk to a doctor (or a dermatologist, more specifically) about it. They'll be able to help!

Alright, I have color changing eyes, too. I was born with blues eyes but then I got a green eye color. Now, My eyes are diagonally split in half- one half blue and one half green. So my question is- how do I have a split eye color? eyes are only meant to be one color. Everyone I know has 1 eye color all of the time, but I have 2. Does it have something to do with me being colorblind? Or having eye therapy (yes, there is such a thing and I have been doing it for a while- while my eye color was still shifting)?
Hey girl! I'm honestly not sure. Your eyes sound really interesting and unique! An eye doctor would best know what's up with them, though, so be sure to ask them if you're curious. Hope this helps! xx

my eye color is multiply my friends say when I'm tired my eyes are blue, when I'm just enjoying myself their green, and when I'm super hyper my eyes are gold. But when I show and feel no emotion my eyes are all three colors at once.

@Colierox same with me! When I was younger I had blue eyes. Then green and now turquiose with green rings and dark blue. I also have brown spots that are freckles on your eyes. My friends think they're really cool.

At my youth group, we always have a color war at the end of summer. All seniors are team captains so me and a couple other seniors are captains of the Blue Team and our theme is Cinderella's Glass Slipper. I was wondering if you had any ideas for cheers, costumes, or silent chants that have to do with Blue and Cinderella. Thanks!
Hey girlie, girls on your team can wear blue tutus like a princess or Cinderella. You can wear blue tights and blue socks. Dress up and go all out!

1. Say your name 10 times.
2. Say your mom's name 5 times.
3. Say your crush's name 3 times.
4. Paste this to 4 other quizzes. If you do this, your crush will kiss you on the nearest Friday, but if you read this and do not paste this, then you will have very bad luck! SEND THIS TO 5 QUIZZES IN 143 MINUTES. WHEN YOU'RE DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR CRUSH'S NAME WILL APPEAR IN BIG LETTERS ON THE SCREEN. THIS IS SO FREAKY BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS

My eyes are dark brown and they turn kind of brownish red at night so all my friends call me a vampire. I was at summer camp when I first figured it out. It was barely there, but they were red (I looked in a mirror) and it was like around 7 or 8. We were playing outside and all the girls thought it was cool. I think it might have been that lighting because it was just after sunset.

Once upon a time, in 1795, a brewery in what is now the Czech Republic started operations. It made a beer with the Budweiser name that was shipped to the U.S. several years before Anheuser-Busch started producing a beer with the same moniker in St. Louis.
In recent years, after more than a century of legal tussling over trademarks, the brewery sold its rights to the Budweiser name to AB InBev, the foreign-based company that now owns the Budweiser brand, and the Czech brewery is now named Pivovar Samson.

It was a shameful display by the Lee County school board today.
Not only have the board members violated the public trust, but the five members have put future of the school district in jeopardy with a frightening execution in its process of selecting a new school superintendent.
This was supposed to be a day on how to best go about naming an interim superintendent while they develop a plan on launching a search for a full-time boss.
Instead it turned into a bull rush, with what appeared to be a pre-determined plan to develop a final list of seven candidates today, a bizarre schedule to meet with those candidates over the next week without any public input and name the new superintendent next Tuesday. Thats right, next Tuesday.
This only affirms our statements of last week that this is a dysfunctional board. They threw out names today with such reckless abandon one would believe they purposely arent interested in the public weighing in on the decision. If naming the final seven was not bad enough, how are they supposed to interview them in such a short time and with any depth? Once more, the candidates selected are people who were passed over during previous searches.
The board became a renegade group of policy makers today with no thought of due process, no thought toward doing what is best for the district and initiating a thorough search that allows for the best candidates to emerge.
Todays actions show us this board is not capable of leading the district in a meaningful way. We sincerely hope Sunshine laws were not violated as a result of their actions today. Most of them seemed prepared to name a superintendent or at least finalize candidates today with no indication during previous meetings that this was the plan.
We urge them to retreat on this outrageous display, calm down, back off of a vote for next Tuesday and develop a meaningful plan for selecting Joseph Burkes successor. We urge teachers, students, parents and taxpayers to email the board members and demand a search that works, not one thrown together during one meeting. What happened today was an embarrassment and should not be tolerated.

WJMK (104.3 FM) is a classic hits radio station in Chicago, Illinois. The station is known as "K-Hits 104.3." The station adopted this format on March 14, 2011, after spending 6 years as Jack FM. Prior to that, WJMK spent 21 years as an oldies station. WJMK is owned by CBS.
The station broadcasts with an ERP of 4.1 kW from a transmitter atop Willis Tower (formerly Sears Tower), and its studios are located at Two Prudential Plaza in the Loop.
HD Programming[edit]
1948 license[edit]
The 104.3 allocation in Chicago was originally licensed in 1948 to the Chicago Federation of Labor, and went on the air as WCFL-FM on March 12, 1949. Though licensed for 22,000 watts,[1] it only broadcast from 3pm to 9pm, as a 400-watt simulcast of WCFL (AM) from an antenna on top of the studio. In early October 1949, the Federation shut down WCFL-FM and announced that they would surrender their FM license because they saw no possibility to make money with it.[4]
Current station[edit]
The station signed on, with the current license, in 1961 as WJJD-FM, co-owned with 1160 WJJD (now WYLL) by Plough Broadcasting. Originally the FM station simulcast the AM station's signal during their operating hours, but changes in FCC rules eventually led to a separate format for the FM. By 1977, the station was known as WJEZ and had a "beautiful country" format, playing instrumental background music with country overtones. This was not a ratings success, and by 1980, WJEZ had a more conventional country music format. In the early 1980s, the station gained competition as WUSN (99.5 FM) also adopted a similar format. At that point, WJJD 1160 adopted a pop standards format and became known as "Music Of Your Life". In 1983, Infinity Broadcasting acquired both WJJD and WJEZ.
Oldies as WJMK[edit]
In 1984, WJEZ dropped country and flipped to an oldies format as "Magic 104" with the call letters WJMK. Initially, it was similar to what RKO's 103.5 WFYR was playing, except that WJMK played more '50s and early '60s music. WJMK initially also played '70s and '80s music along with a new song every hour. By early 1985, all songs released after 1972 were dropped.
The station focused primarily on songs released between 1964-1969 with a good amount of '50s music as well. In 1991, the station's moniker was changed from "Magic 104" to "Oldies 104.3". In 1992, another acquisition by Infinity made WUSN WJMK's sister station. In 1996 Infinity was sold to CBS, adding classic rock station WCKG (105.9 FM), 70s-based oldies station WYSY (107.9 FM), WBBM-FM (96.3 FM), a rhythmic/CHR station and AAA WXRT (93.1 FM). To stay within the station ownership limits for the Chicago radio market, Infinity/CBS sold WYSY to Spanish Broadcasting System. That move left CBS/Infinity with its limit of 8 stations; 5 FM and 3 AM stations, in addition to WBBM-TV.
In 1998, they began to add more '70s music to the format. In 1999, with new competition from the new "Jammin Oldies format of WUBT "The Beat", WJMK added a few disco songs and more '70s and early '80s songs to the playlist.
After WUBT dropped Jammin' Oldies for CHR in 2001, WJMK dropped the moniker "Oldies 104.3" and returned to their former moniker "Magic 104.3". WJMK continued with their oldies format, though they modified the playlist over the years, dropping older music in favor of more recent material. In 2003, the station once again changed monikers, going from "Magic 104.3" back to "Oldies 104.3" and began airing Dick Bartley's syndicated "Rock and Roll's Greatest Hits" to Saturday nights (which they'd drop at the beginning of June 2004 to return the 70s show "Saturday Night 70s"). By the winter of 2004, the station dropped the "oldies" moniker and became known as just "104.3 WJMK".
104.3 Jack FM[edit]
In the spring of 2005, Infinity (the radio division of CBS) had contracted with SparkNet Communications, which owned the U.S. trademarks of an adult hits format known as "Jack FM", which had seen success on a few Canadian stations, to put a variety hits format on stations in some of their markets. That April, they flipped KCBS-FM in Los Angeles and WQSR in Baltimore, Maryland to the new format. On June 3, 2005 at 4 PM, at the same time long-time oldies station WCBS-FM in New York was flipping to the format, WJMK became "Jack FM" as well.
Jack FM was a format featuring mostly rock and pop songs that appeal to adults. The roughly 2,000 song playlist consisted mostly of music from the '70s, '80s, '90s, and today's, in addition to a few current tracks. Though WJMK's previous oldies format continued to be streamed online and on their HD Radio subchannel, complaints about the change were prevalent, but not nearly to the extent of those in New York City with WCBS-FM.
The former WJMK airstaff returned to the air on WJMK-HD2 in October 2005. Also, that Fall, WZZN (now WLS-FM), seeing a format void and after many years of struggling with different formats, switched to ABC's "True Oldies Channel", a satellite-delivered oldies format.
On July 13, 2006, in a cost-cutting move by CBS Radio, the entire airstaff of WJMK-HD2 was laid off, though the oldies format continued to stream online without air talent. Since then, WLS-FM had added a lot of WJMK's former airstaff.
With a format change on WCKG from talk to adult contemporary, Steve Dahl and Buzz Kilman moved from there to WJMK to host mornings starting November 5, 2007, as the only live personalities on Jack FM. Dahl continued there until December 5, 2008. At that time, Jack FM reverted back to having no live personalities. The station's ratings continued to struggle more when Bonneville International debuted "Rewind 100.3" (a mostly 80s-based format) on rival WILV in June 2010.
On March 9, 2011, CBS announced that on March 14, beginning at 1:04 p.m., WJMK would switch to a classic hits format known as "K-Hits", dropping the Jack FM format and brand. The change marked the station's return to an updated version of the oldies format it dropped in 2005. Station management describes the format as "high energy, music intensive and locally driven". Chicago radio personalities Ed Volkman and Joe "Bohannon" Colborn (Eddie and JoBo) would anchor the station's morning show, along with Gary Spears hosting middays, Bo Reynolds in afternoon drive, and the legendary George McFly for evenings. The final song on "Jack" was "Goodbye to You" by Scandal, after which one last liner featuring Homer Simpson was played advertising "a new radio station coming to Chicago that just so happens to be on this frequency," before a montage of songs between 1966 and 1989 was played (similar to what WCBS-FM did in 2007 when it relaunched its classic hits format, and using the almost exact same montage that launched the oldies format of WOCL-FM/Orlando). The first song on "K-Hits" was "Beginnings" by Chicago.
Volkman and Colborn would remain the morning hosts until December 6, 2012, when they were released, with the station citing low ratings as the main factor. Mornings are currently hosted by Dave Fogel, formerly of WLS-FM. The rest of the station's current airstaff includes Tommy Edwards in middays, Gary Spears in afternoon drive, and Jeffrey T. Mason in evenings. Weekend airstaff includes John Calhoun, Ken Cocker, and Donna Mullen.

Norra Springs Area
|Norra küla, Koeru vald, Järva maakond | Show on map
There are 11 groups of springs with almost 40 springs in the western part of Endla Nature Reserve. These springs are rich in water and start on the slopes of Pandivere Highlands.
Interesting facts: The measurements taken at Nora Spring in 1936 gave a surprising result – 360 litres of water flowed out of the spring per second, which equals 36 full buckets per second. The opening where Sopa Spring starts is 6 metres in diameter and 4.8 metres deep. Wooden foot bridges have been built on the Oostriku Spring to give people a better view of the spring.

PS3 update to tote full-screen Flash, more
updated 03:50 pm EST, Tue November 25, 2008
PS3 253 Brings Full Flash
An impending PlayStation 3 firmware upgrade should improve the behavior of the console for video sites, a set of release notes obtained early by CVG point out. The 2.53 update will explicitly allow for full-screen Flash content, permitting web games and video sites like YouTube to occupy the entire display rather than being limited to the web browser. Appropriately, new settings have also been included to intelligently shut off controllers or the core system after enough idle time.
Other changes are known to include better handling of native PS3 software and a new account creation screen to more easily help new users get started. Background downloading and other additions appear carried over from notes for the 2.52 update. Sony itself says the newer patch should be available through PS3s tomorrow.

How to Look Good in the Morning
Look super amazingly beautiful, all day, every day, with these quick and easy tips!
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Get up at 5 am: you need ages to get ready.
2Take a quick shower. Do not use shower gel, because it will dry out your skin. Do not wash your hair, because you won't have time to dry it properly and it will look greasy.
3Apply lotion to your hands, but NOT your body because it makes it look shiny and greasy.
4O my gosh, time is running out. Perhaps it is time for clothes! Pick something out that makes you look really modest and figure-focused. Try a floor-length dress and woolen cardigan with cute, girly high heels in winter, or take some ripped up hot-pants with an off-shoulder crop top or sports bra in summer. Add some bling: gold chains, hoop earrings and big lockets are perfect. Carry your books and stuff in a suitcase: it's all the rage.
5Now it might be time for your make-up. First, put on some grey eye shadow: this looks uber sophisticated. Remember to rub it all over: especially under your eyes, in the creases and on your bottom eyelid. Then add some red or purple blush (not pink, it makes you look sunburnt.) Top it off with shiny lipstick, NOT lip gloss because it has a bad smell to it. Apply dark bronzer all over your face: this will make you look gorgeously tanned. Add white powder on your neck and chin,to highlight your neck.
6Tie your hair back tightly in a bright, patterned scrunchie. This is really cute and makes you look younger. Remember: don't look in the mirror. If you obsess for ages over how you look, it lowers your self esteem. Walk with your head high, your chest out and your stomach sucked in. Smile!
7Eat healthy breakfast. Some fruit with oatmeal would be a great start for the day.
8Once at school, socialize! Talk to everyone you see! And smile!!!
Give us 3 minutes of knowledge!
- Keep your personality, don't be a wannabe, cos u were born this way!!
