Get a Golden Glow with the New 24-Karat Gold Facial at Four Seasons Mauritius
November 16, 2011
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
We've seen our fair share of over-the-top spa treatments (diamond, rubies, oh my!), but this one might just take the cake. The Four Seasons Resort Mauritius at Anahita has just announced a lavish spa treatment for the festive season: the new UMO 24 Karat Gold Facial. Apparently gold has natural youth-enhancing properties (who knew?) that helps beautify the skin and defy the natural ageing process. The facial uses 100% natural ingredients to give you a golden glow while you're hanging out in paradise. (Just check out the photos of the island resort.) Here's the skinny on the facial:
Derived from an ancient Japanese soybean health food, the Gamma PGA ingredient used by the UMO facial is ten times more hydrating than the skin's own natural acids, while also having far more elasticity than collagen. The Gamma PGA absorbs the gold and when applied to the face using UMO's ultrasonic nano mist technology – several times smaller than water droplets – both the Gamma PGA and the gold are able to pass through the surface of the skin to restore youthful benefits to the deepest layers.
Needless to say, the UMO 24 Karat Gold Facial doesn't come cheap; it costs 250 euros a pop. Available from December 15, 2011.
New Wedding Venues Added to the One and Only Cape Town Resort
November 2, 2011
By: Oksana Balytsky
Located in the heart of one of the most fascinating cities, the One and Only Cape Town is nestled between the scenic sandstone cliffs. This urban chic waterfront resort is surrounded by beauty and offers incredible views of Table Mountain and private Spa Island. Aside from being in an incredible city with incredible landscapes, this resort has recently added new wedding venues and packages, making it a perfect location to tie the knot.
The One and Only Cape Town is adding a 76-foot motor yacht and a beautiful new Ballroom to its extensive venue list for weddings and engagements. The ivory tones and 6 handmade crystal chandeliers add to the Ballroom's sophistication and elegance. The Ballroom measures 2,314 square feet and has 648 square feet of outdoor space, making it suitable for a wedding with 50–140 guests.
If a wedding in a grand Ballroom is not quite your cup of tea, consider exploring the option of enjoying intimate moments on the Sherilyn, a luxury motor yacht. This luxurious yacht is available for sunset wedding photographs, wedding ceremonies, and even grand gesture proposals. It can accommodate up to 20 guests, and its qualified team can assist with making arrangements to create the perfect ambiance.
For those unable to choose between the Ballroom and the Sherilyn, the Ballroom Package is available, which provides exclusive access to the yacht for post-ceremony drinks.
We hope this gives you some inspiration and ideas for planning your wedding, and we hope you are able to find the perfect location with the right amenities for your special day.

What's Hot: Introductory Rates at Angsana's New Flagship Resort on Phuket
November 2, 2011
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
Come hell or high water, the Angsana Laguna Phuket will be opening its doors on December 1, 2011. The new flagship for Angsana Hotels and Resorts, the property closed earlier this year for a multi-million dollar overhaul, and promises to dazzle after a dramatic makeover. The guest rooms and public spaces are stylish and contemporary in design, with traditional Thai touches (think steep arched roofs, waterways winding through the grounds, and vividly colored fabrics).
Nestled on Bang Tao Bay in the northwest of Phuket Island in Southern Thailand, Angsana Laguna Phuket is part of Laguna Phuket, Asia's first integrated resort, which is comprised of five luxury hotels, six palm-fringed lagoons, 600 acres of parkland, three kilometers of pristine beach and a slew of recreational activities and dining options. We like the sound of the 323 metre free-form pool that meanders throughout the Angsana Laguna Phuket and the award-winning Angsana Spa. Did we mention the treehouse-inspired Kids Club? This resort is family friendly (and they even have a special kiddies pool called the toddler's "tub").
Hot rates: The resort is currently offering $199 introductory rates with breakfast included, and they'll throw in a resort credit of $98 when you stay in two nights or more. Stay a minimum of three nights, and you'll get a free 90-minute massage.

By: Oksana Balytsky
I bet your life (like most of ours) is lacking in kangaroos, surfing, and scuba diving. Take a trip down under and experience first-hand the laid back atmosphere and beauty Sydney, Australia has to offer. Not a big fan of the winter cold? Consider traveling anytime from December-February, Australia's summer season, and enjoy a cocktail on the beach while your neighbors back home shovel snow.
For those wanting a truly Sydney experience, the newly renovated Sydney Harbour Marriott at Circular Quay is the perfect hotel. This downtown Sydney resort overlooks the beautiful Sydney Harbour and the renowned Opera House, providing you with cultural and outdoor activities a few steps away. At Sydney's premier waterfront hotel, guests are welcomed to indulge in a variety of treatments offered in the day spa and take a dip in the luxurious indoor pool. If an outdoor adventure is more your calling, check out the boating, surfing, and sailing opportunities found in Sydney. After doing it all, retire to your room, complete with picturesque harbour views, and dare to do it all again the next day.

By: Mary Winston Nicklin
The first Ritz-Carlton in Saudi Arabia officially opened its doors in Riyadh this week. Situated in the Diplomatic Quarter next to the King Abdul Aziz Convention Centre, The Ritz-Carlton, Riyadh is positively palatial in size with 493 guest rooms-- including a whopping 49 two-bedroom Royal Suites and 50 one-bedroom Executive Suites. Looks like they're expecting some high-rollers! The opulent hotel has already become a destination for weddings, even hosting a few before the official opening date, and-- with some 5,800 square meters of conference space-- it's expecting some of the city's largest international summits and gala events. Dotted with fountains, the grounds are beautifully landscaped with native palms and 600-year old olive trees imported from Lebanon. That's not all; the hotel also has an indoor bowling alley and a cigar lounge with one of the largest selections of Cubans in the Kingdom.
New Fahrenheit Ballroom at The Ritz-Carlton Georgetown
October 11, 2011
By: Mary Winston Nicklin
Throwing a ball or getting hitched in D.C.? A new ballroom is turning heads in town, located- where else?- in the swank Ritz-Carlton Georgetown. The official press release cited "greater guest demand" as the reason why the hotel is transforming Fahrenheit restaurant into permanent banquet rental space, and the hotel's bar and lounge into a three-meal restaurant and bar called Degrees Bistro. Slated to open in a matter of weeks on November 1, 2011, the Fahrenheit Ballroom has already been picked by Daily Candy D.C. as a prime wedding venue:
Turn up the heat at The Ritz-Carlton Georgetown's new event space, the Fahrenheit Ballroom. Located on the top floor of the brick factory-turned-hotel, the grand dance hall wows with huge windows, steel beams, and a loftlike feel.

Library Journal - Library JournalFor the newcomer to contemporary dissident Chinese literature and politics, this large anthology provides brief, often fascinating, glimpses at about 80 Chinese artists who want reform, not destruction, of the present government. Almost all the artists represented here have suffered either imprisonment, house arrest, or artistic suppression because they chose to discuss artistic freedom, women's issues, labor camps, sexuality, the situation of peasants, or torture in prisons. The translations, done mostly by the Australian editors, are truly superb. Recommended as an introduction. Kitty Chen Dean, Nassau Coll., Garden City, N.Y.

Peter Quillin has become a must-see guy. He simply puts people on their butt, and he has, I think, improved so much in the past couple years, and is now on such a higher plane because of a confidence boost that comes with holding a title belt, that I think his ceiling is higher than most of us thought possible.
I'm eager to see him test the ceiling.
I chatted with Quillin on Thursday, at the final presser before the Saturday Barclays Center show, and it seems he's eager, too.
"I'm ready," the 29-year-old said about gloving up again. Showtime boxing boss Stephen Espinoza told me he thinks a date for Quillin might have to wait until October or November, however. The fighter said that bummed him out, that he wanted to fight three times this year.
I pestered him for a name, for a hint of who he'd like to fight next. He rolled over Fernando Guerrero on April 27 (TKO7 win, knocked him down four times) and, I think, did it in a too-effective fashion. By rubbing him out, he made it possible for naysayers to opine that Guerrero wasn't ready for his closeup. (Which, in fact, may have been true.) For that reason, I think Quillin (29-0 with 21 KOs) needs to secure a name foe, so he can prove to his detractors that he is the real deal. He offered me a wish list of targets.
First, he'd like a crack at IBF champ Daniel Geale. The Aussie puts his belt on the line against Brit Travis Barker on Aug. 17, so we have to wait and see how that plays out. Next, Quillin wants a crack at WBC champ Sergio Martinez. "And after I beat him, I want Gennady Golovkin," he said. "That's a superstar fight, a big pay-per-view. We'd build to that."
From his mouth to the dealmakers' ears.
One impediment: HBO has deals with both Martinez and Golovkin, and it looks like people want Geale to meet Golovkin. So Quillin might be the most obvious victim of the HBO-Golden Boy war, which has entities taking sides, and has meant that Showtime mostly buys Golden Boy bouts, while HBO mostly buys Top Rank product.
On the bright side, there will come a time when fan demand will break the icy patch. Who knows, maybe the call for a Quillin bout with an HBO fighter might force a kiss-and-make-up scenario.

|Ostac Yachts were the builders of the first commercial F-31 trimaran. Designs by Ian Farrier that later became the Corsair F-31, and eventually Corsair 31 (aft cockpit and aft cabin versions), were first built by Ostac Pty Ltd in Australia. Introduced in 1991, the Ostac F-31 immediately became very successful on the race course and quickly attracted worldwide recognition. A trimaran is a multihull boat that comprises a main hull and two smaller outrigger hulls (or "floats") which are attached to the main hull with lateral beams. Trimarans are most commonly sail-driven yachts designed for recreation or racing, but there are a few trimaran ferries and warships. According to American usage, there are three terms that describe the main components of catamarans and trimarans. They are: "vaka", "aka" and "ama". These terms come from the Malay and Polynesian language group terms for parts of the outrigger canoe. Vaka is the canoe or main hull. Aka is the framework member that connects the vaka (hull) to the ama (outrigger, or "float"). Ama is the outrigger, connected to the vaka by an aka.

text: The Daily Star not too long ago conducted a study that uncovered homeowners who purchased a home that had been previously owned found themselves laying out cash in order to make repairs after they transferred into the home. These repairs had not been identified throughout the shopping process, resulting in the necessity to spend extra money right after this big investment. Due to this, many home buyers are actually choosing to look simply at newly built homes, like three bedroom homes for sale in the UK. These people currently have decided they do not wish to have to invest the money to install completely new home windows and/or improve the insulating material, a couple of common repairs required on pre-existing houses. Others don't want to have to improve the home heating and/or do other less common repairs. With newly built homes, these issues will be eliminated. Yet another significant good thing about purchasing a residence which has never been owned in the past would be that it enables the property owner to arrange each and every area just as they wish. It is not necessary to take out and discard the bright red floor covering and replace it with a more appealing colour, which helps the environment as the outdated carpet is not ending up in the landfill. With new build houses for sale, the home shopper will get to make the decision on all aspects of the residence. Additionally, owing to advances when it comes to materials and technology, people see these new houses are usually better insulated and also have high efficiency windows. These are just two of the many advantages observed with newer products. Less cash is going to be allocated to cooling and heating your home, and a lot of homes currently include an energy rating certificate, permitting the home owner to know they are doing their part to protect our environment. Exactly what many do not realize is completely new homes will be safer too. English law makers continue to uncover methods to protect the people of the nation, so fire resistant products are becoming mandatory, together with fire entrance doors not to mention smoke sensors. To learn more about the key benefits of freshly built houses, check out this article here and discover More about the author. This gentleman helps real estate buyers obtain the best package on their own home, whether it is a new residence or perhaps an existing house an individual wants to purchase.

Gabi and her assistant were friendly and professional, but the home inspection was not worth the insane $700 price tag. It was not as thorough as I have had from other companies in the past and most of the items noted in the report were things I could have found with my own two eyes. The largest items in the house (heat, AC and plumbing) were not checked in the first visit and I was given excuses instead of insight on how to get the items... Read more ›
My home was "inspected" by Pillar to Post on behalf of an unsuspecting buyer. They said the master bedroom lights didn't work; they're on a remote that the inspector didn't use.

Said sump was installed wrong; he didn't see the foundation drain or the drain to the outside. Inspector ran the faucet in our garage and got our moving... Read more ›

Supersonic bullets test graphene's strength
Dec 2, 2014
Graphene sheets are 8 to 10 times better than steel when it comes to absorbing impacts from supersonic "microbullets". That is the conclusion of researchers in the US, who have fired tiny silica spheres at the carbon material and compared the kinetic energy of the spheres before and after they had penetrated the sheets. The result implies that graphene might be ideal for making bullet-proof vests, among other applications, and the technique employed in these experiments could be used to test the strength and toughness of other nanomaterials as well.
The "wonder material" graphene – sheets of carbon just one atom thick – is thought to be the strongest material in the world, thanks to its 2D hexagonal lattice of covalently bonded carbon atoms. Indeed, researchers recently measured its in-plane Young's modulus – a measure of how well it resists deformation – to be more than 1 TPa, which is nearly that of diamond. Although such experiments provide valuable information on a material's mechanical properties, they are essentially low-speed tests with impacts occurring at less than 1 m s–1. As a result, they cannot measure deformations that happen very fast, which is the case in ballistic impacts, where projectile velocities can be 1000 times faster. Although high-speed, high-strain-rate mechanical characterization techniques do exist, these methods are inappropriate for very thin layers of material.
Laser-based testing
A team led by Edwin Thomas of Rice University recently came up with a new technique called laser-induced projectile impact testing (LIPIT), and has now improved on this to test the strength of graphene. LIPIT sees the researchers fire a single micron-sized solid silica sphere travelling at speeds of nearly 3 km s–1 into a carbon sheet and measuring the velocity of the microbullet before and after it has penetrated the material. This allows them to calculate the kinetic energy of the bullet lost during the test. The experiments are performed on multilayer graphene membranes ranging in thickness from 10 to 100 nm – which is equivalent to 30 to 300 graphene layers – and the technique allows a tiny part of the sample to be strained, or deformed, at very high rates.
The researchers used multilayer graphene samples that were shaved off blocks of graphite. They were able to fire their microbullets at supersonic speeds using a laser pulse. "Instead of gunpowder, we vaporize a thin (50 nm) gold film using a focused laser beam, and it is the resulting expanding gold gas that accelerates the microbullet," explains team member, Jae-Hwang Lee.
After analysing microscope images of the impacts, the researchers discovered that graphene dissipates the kinetic energy from the microbullet by first stretching into a cone shape at the impact site and then cracking along its crystallographic directions. These cracks extend outwards, well beyond the impact area, says Lee.
Efficient energy dissipation
"When a microbullet penetrates a thin target material, it dissipates the kinetic energy of the projectile by transferring this energy back to itself," Lee says. "Graphene can dissipate this energy very efficiently, which makes it better than other materials (even steel)."
The result means that graphene might be ideal for making bullet-proof vests and other types of armour, he says. "It might even be used in futuristic applications such as coatings for satellites and the International Space Station that protect against micrometeorites," he adds.
The researchers claim that their micro-ballistic technique could also be a unique way to study the mechanical behaviour of various other nanostructured materials.
The team, which includes researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, is now busy trying out its miniaturized ballistic test on various other graphene systems. These include graphene composites and graphene with engineered defects, which is expected to be weaker than pristine graphene.
The work is described in Science.

HELSINKI (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin's visit to Finland on Friday is expected to focus on cementing ties with its neighboring Western country amid heightened tensions in the region over sanctions and the Ukraine crisis.
Putin's trip to the small Nordic country — his first since the Ukraine crisis erupted in 2014 — comes as Russia has increased military activity in Eastern Europe, with reports of airspace violations. NATO responded with a reinforced presence in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, leading to growing debate in nonaligned Finland and Sweden on whether to join the western alliance.
"With this visit Moscow can demonstrate that despite attempts by the West and the EU to isolate it, there's a country that will welcome the Russian leader," said Markku Kangaspuro, director of research at the University of Helsinki. "And what's more, that country is in the tense Baltic Sea area."
Russia, which has complained about NATO encroaching on its sphere of influence, would take a dim view if Finland, with which it shares a 1,300-kilometer (800-mile) border, and Sweden were to join the alliance, says Andrei Kolesnikov, a senior associate at the Carnegie Moscow Center.
"The prospect of Finland and Sweden joining NATO has seemed more likely in recent months than at any time since the end of the Cold War," Kolesnikov said. "But in the long term, it's far from certain that such a move would benefit the two countries, given the inevitable backlash from Russia."
That concern of a "backlash" is strongly present in a recent security policy paper commissioned by the Finnish government and could be why polls in both Finland and Sweden have continued to show a majority against joining the alliance.
On Thursday, Putin warned that Russia would take retaliatory measures to counter NATO's military buildup near Russia's borders which he said was aimed at "undermining military parity that has formed over decades."
President Sauli Niinisto, who will host Putin at his summer residence in southwestern Finland, says Finland's security policy document is unlikely to be discussed. But, as the visit comes a week before a NATO security summit which will have security in the Baltic Sea region high on its agenda, regional security is bound to be on the agenda. Niinisto, although head of state of a non-NATO country, has been invited to attend the NATO talks.
"Niinisto doesn't want to rock the boat. He isn't a proponent of NATO membership and for the sake of stability he doesn't want to even raise such speculation," Kangaspuro said, adding that the two leaders probably will discuss border issues and furthering economic cooperation.
Russia used to be Finland's main trading partner, but trade last year dropped more than 30 percent.
Putin, hailing from St. Petersburg near the Finnish border, has visited Finland several times. He came to Niinisto's summer residence three years ago on a working visit, and the two leaders last met in Moscow in March, when Putin agreed to halt the flow of illegal migrants through Russia to northern Finnish border crossing points.
Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, on Wednesday described the working visit as "a regular exchange of opinions … with one of our closest partners."
Nataliya Vasilyeva in Moscow contributed to this report.

The fight, playing out on proposed county redistricting maps, could for the second time in a decade slice away a "jewel" from the territory of North County Supervisor Pam Slater-Price and boost the fortunes of one of her colleagues, political observers said last week.
La Jolla, an enclave of about 40,000 people south of Del Mar, is highly regarded by politicians for its deep pockets and strong civic participation.
Slater-Price wants to retain La Jolla in her Supervisorial District 3, which includes Del Mar, Solana Beach and Encinitas, and stretches inland to Escondido, Tierrasanta and San Carlos.
But redistricting panelists handpicked by Supervisors Bill Horn and Ron Roberts say La Jolla should be given to Roberts' central San Diego District 4 ---- as one of many ways to even out the population of the five supervisorial districts.
The five-person Redistricting Advisory Committee consists of one appointee from each supervisor.
"This would be a dramatic change," said John Dadian, a San Diego-based political consultant who served as chief of staff for former District 3 Supervisor Susan Golding in the late 1980s.
La Jolla "is absolutely considered one of the jewels of redistricting."
Dadian, noting that La Jolla has been part of District 3 for decades, said the community presents "numerous advantages" for a politician, from its affluence to its high voter turnout.
The first "jewel"
Ten years ago, Slater-Price lost ultra-affluent Rancho Santa Fe (the first political "jewel") and her portion of Carlsbad under a plan initiated by Supervisor Bill Horn.
Horn's plan gave Slater-Price Escondido in exchange and was widely seen as a way to ensure that Horn, a conservative Republican leader, continued to have a politically safe district.
The county, like all jurisdictions, is required to redraw its district lines every 10 years using U.S. Census data. The five supervisors have the final say in July on the boundary changes.
The Redistricting Advisory Committee will recommend how the line shifting should work.
Supervisors ignored advice from a similar panel a decade ago, when it approved the plan proposed by Horn.
Still, the panel's goal is to recommend how the supervisors can balance population while keeping like communities united in the same district.
Political insiders see a political power at work again this year with the La Jolla proposal, one that could benefit Roberts' political future and possibly weaken that of Slater-Price.
The appointees picked by Roberts and Horn said their proposals have nothing to do with a power grab.
"It's all about the math," said Michel Anderson, Robert's redistricting appointee, explaining why he proposed moving La Jolla. "We knew District 4 had to pick up population. I was looking at the most practical area. ... We have a balancing act to do. No area of the county is sacrosanct."
Helping a friend?
Adam Day, Horn's appointee, also suggested taking La Jolla out of Slater-Price's district. Day clarified in an interview that he wasn't the first one to propose such a move ---- Anderson was. He added that he has "not heard any public testimony expressing concern" with the idea.
Asked whether he was helping orchestrate a district change to benefit Steve Danon, Day's friend and Slater-Price's rival in the 2012 District 3 election (as suggested by some county observers), Day said, "Absolutely not."
Chris Crotty, a San Diego-based political consultant, said eliminating La Jolla would remove a moderate and environmentally focused set of Republican voters from District 3, which benefits Danon, a more conservative candidate.
"Danon is pretty hard-core conservative," said Crotty, who works with Democratic candidates. "It would benefit him to not have a district where an opponent (in this case, Slater-Price) cannot draw money from that area."
Of course, campaign donations can and do cross supervisorial district lines.
Communities, however, are more likely to raise funds for a candidate who represents them directly rather than one who does not, local political experts said. John Weil, Slater-Price's chief of staff and spokesman, said the supervisor would not comment on any redistricting proposals at this point.
Supervisors will consider the panel's recommendations at a public hearing June 28. They are expected to vote on a final map July 12 and again Aug. 2.
La Jolla's pull
Not just money but influence make La Jolla an attractive territory for a politician, locals said last week.
"We've got people here who can pick up the phone and call their friends anywhere in the world," said John Kosky, a longtime La Jolla resident and retired teacher, while walking his dog, Pepper, on the community's glitzy Girard Avenue.
Kosky added that the captains of industry and philanthropists who live there are invaluable when a library needs renovation or a county recreation program is low on funds.
"I think (La Jolla) is prestigious and I think La Jolla people care about their community," added Joan Bowes, who has lived there since 1968, and was running errands in La Jolla's Village area last week.
Slipping away?
While her lines haven't shifted yet, Slater-Price's redistricting goals took a hit on Thursday.
The redistricting advisory panel rejected all proposals made by her appointee, Dennis Ridz.
Crotty, the political consultant, said personality conflicts have put Slater-Price at odds with her fellow supervisors in the past and may explain why her redistricting proposals have fallen on deaf ears.
Her appointee, Ridz, had pushed for a more coast-focused territory for District 3. The plans would have shed some of 3's inland areas in Tierrasanta and San Carlos, the result of creative district shaping from the past.
"I'm open to suggestions," Ridz said of his proposals at a panel meeting Thursday.
After the comment, Ridz's fellow panelists voted without discussion against recommending any of his plans.

Is Beyoncé about to give birth? Star's mum and sister shop in New York as hospital 'prepares labour suite for VIP'
She concealed her pregnancy for months before revealing her baby bump at the MTV Music Awards in August.
But now Beyoncé is said to be moments away from giving birth to her first child.
And the appearance of the star's mother Tina, 57, sister Solange, 25, and nephew Julez in the city has certainly added weight to the report.
Nurses at New York's St Luke's Roosevelt hospital have allegedly been told to prepare the labour suite for the arrival of a celebrity VIP.
Low profile: The singer was last seen shopping in New York earlier this month and is thought to be nine months pregnant
Expecting a VIP: St. Luke's Roosevelt Hospital in New York City
And designer Tina
and sister Solange, were spotted leaving vintage store Stella Dallas in
New York City yesterday, which means they are clearly keen to be on hand should the star go into labour.
The singer lives in a multi-million pound penthouse apartment in the city with rapper husband Jay Z.
It is thought the 30-year-old singer
and husband Jay Z could be welcoming a child as early as today according
to MediaTakeOut.com.
website reports that the half the floor of the hospital's Labor and
Delivery Suite has been booked by the singer, although the hospital has
not confirmed the claims.
Beyoncé is thought to have reached the nine month mark in her pregnancy.
And in a clip from her Live at Roseland DVD she said: 'Hello! It's September 23rd … Right now I'm actually shooting the video for 'Countdown' and I'm six months pregnant, pretending that my stomach is flat in body suits.'
Family business: Tina Knowles, daughter Solange with her son Daniel Julez J. Smith seen leaving vintage store 'Stella Dallas' in New York City today
On the move: Tina and Solange Knowles leave vintage store Stella Dallas in NYC today
If correct, it would mean that Beyoncé is set to give birth any day now.
A spokesperson for the singer was unavailable for comment earlier today.
Beyoncé's baby may not have been born just yet but it has been the source of speculation for months.
Superstar parents: The baby will be the couple's first child
In October the singer sparked rumours that she was wearing a prosthetic belly after her stomach appeared to collapse as she sat down during a live TV appearance in Australia.
Earlier this month the Love On Top singer labelled the reports 'ridiculous', and told Katie Couric that she didn't let the rumours effect her.
