Economic Inequality: A Growing Threat to Public Health
This fact sheet includes national, state and local data on how dramatically widening gaps in income and wealth are a growing threat to individual and community health. Economic inequality matters for everybody's health.
This presentation, shared at a Brown Bag University session at the Alameda County Public Health Department with staff and community members, summarizes the data and wealth-health connections from the fact sheet and vividly makes the case that economic inequality is a growing threat to the public's health.

His first of nine shows in Edmonton is earning rave reviews after Garth Brooks' debut show at Rogers Place Friday night.
The 55-year-old country music superstar performed for — with, really — a sold-out crowd who sang along and danced in the aisles as Brooks did his thing.
His wife Trisha Yearwood also took the stage for a few songs of her own and performed alongside her partner.
Fans said the energy in the arena was unreal and the audience was incredibly loud and engaged.

Local country music artist Brett Kissel was Friday's opening act.
More than 143,000 tickets have been sold for Brooks' shows in Edmonton.
"These are the kinds of people you're raised around," Brooks said about Edmontonians. "I know we're 1,000 miles apart but this is Oklahoma for me. Just hard-working people, common sense people, and they love their music. Why they have done this for us, I have no idea. I'm just very thankful they have.
"The hope is when they walk out of here, they look at that ticket and go: 'You know what? If this guy comes back, I'll be back.' That's the hope."

The last time Brooks performed in Edmonton was 21 years ago. His previous shows at Northlands Coliseum between Aug. 10 and 12, 1996 saw 50,871 tickets sold.
Brooks said he isn't ruling out another visit to Edmonton in the future, but added it's really up to his wife.
"My retiring days are behind me," he said. "They're going to have to throw me out now."
"I would run like this the rest of my life if people showed up. I love this."

Midway's girls soccer team continued their dominating play on Thursday night, blanking the Pender Lady Patriots 6-0 to extend their winning streak to five games. Midway scored all six of their goals in the first half as four different Lady Raiders recorded goals.
The scoring began when Kasey McLamb fired a shot into the back of the net, taking advantage a turnover by the Lady Patriots out in front of the Pender goaltender with 33:25 remaining to make it 1-0.
McLamb helped Midway stretch the lead to 2-0 after she scored her second goal of the game with 25:23 showing on the clock in first quarter.
Midway was the aggressor for much of the game, keeping pressure against the Lady Patriots and scoring at will.
A goal by Meloni Lopez just a 1:20 later — 24:03 remaining in the first half — built the Lady Raider lead to 3-0.
The scoring wasn't done as Midway would go on to score three more goals the rest of the way.
Mikayla Peterson tallied a goal at 20:40 to make it 4-0, followed by another McLamb goal at 18:17 to make it 5-0 before Camryn Page recorded the game's final score at 8:36 for the 6-0 final tally.
After the game, Midway head coach Trey Apperson said he is pleased with what he is seeing from his team.
"We're getting better each game. This is a very young team with eight starters gone from last year so they are still learning to play together," Apperson said.
With the win, Midway improves to 5-0 overall and 2-0 in the Four County Conference. They will be back in action on Friday, traveling to take on Cinton.

Since the birth of automobiles in 1886, cars have since utilized the internal combustion engine to move. However, public interest is pushing the development of cars towards more environmentally and wallet-friendly vehicles. Hybrid and electric cars are more common on the roads but what's the big deal and why do people choose those over a normal car? Find out what the differences are below.

700 young drivers get 'motorvated'
700 teenagers have learnt about the potential dangers posed by the roads through Wokingham Borough Council's free pre-driver training event, which was launched six years ago.
The 'Motorvation' sessions cover topics including causes, effects and consequences of traffic collisions, post-accident first aid and advice on buying a second-hand car. The young people are also taught about the dangers of drink-driving and texting while driving.
The event is organised by Wokingham Borough Council and run by the Berkshire Association of Clubs for Young People (BACYP), with support from the road safety team, emergency services and several qualified advanced driving instructors.
Julie Pillai, road safety officer, said: "The Motorvation workshops offer young people a multitude of important information, including essential road safety advice and the opportunity to experience what it's like to drive a vehicle in a controlled and safe surrounding off the public highway – the first chance that many of the young people will have to drive a real car.
"We run several Motorvation workshops in school holidays throughout the year and urge young people who are thinking about learning to drive to come along, not only to learn about road safety and hazards facing new drivers, but also what to look for when buying a car and keeping it road legal."

adam and eve, atheism, atheist, Christianity, garden of eden, god, religion, the Bible
We can't understand the world from a divine viewpoint because if by definition it's divine, then it's beyond our understanding in the natural world. There are serious constraints with using religion as a way of knowing. One of the major constraints when one bases their way of knowing off of religion is that you can't ask how things are the way they are. It's the will of God. And that's as far as the conversation can go because we're not divine like God is. From a divine standpoint, we can't question the will of God, so at best religion might lead us to ask "How does the world work?" and the response to that can only be to parrot back "Because God willed it to be that way".
In the Judeo-Christian belief system, all of humanity descended from a single breeding pair; ignoring the problems that come from a literal interpretation of the Bible about how a single breeding pair cannot account for the amount of ethnic and racial diversity alive on Earth today, the story of Adam and Eve is informative to say the least about what religion, Christianity in particular teaches us about the world.
Adam and Eve lived in a paradise and had never experienced strife, pain, suffering and deceit, evil, wrong-doing, punishment or death, but God had still expected them to be able to grapple with the intricacies of morality. According to the Bible, humans were created by God in the beginning without any notion of morality. They lived in a paradise that never required them to think about the ramifications of their actions. God had never taught them about the nature of morality, presumably, because the need had never come up. But when Adam and Eve do defy God's will by eating the forbidden fruit of knowledge of good and evil, God doesn't explain to them why such a thing was bad. He banishes them from paradise for all eternity for a single worldly transgression. This tale comes with three major lessons that have become internalized by Christians everywhere. One, even if you've never had the opportunity to learn right from wrong, you can be punished for your crimes. Two, you can be punished for all eternity for a single worldly crime and, in fact, every one of your descendants will have to suffer for your crime for all of eternity, too. And three, that all humans deserve this burden, especially women.
According to the Genesis story of the Bible, God created Adam and forbade him from eating from the tree of knowledge, but never explained why he would be punished. For Adam, the concept of right and wrong was completely unknown. He didn't know what punishment was or indeed what it would mean to sin. Yet, he was expected to obey the command of an all-powerful being and fully understand the consequences of his actions. When Adam and Eve ate fruit from the tree of knowledge, they were sent out of the garden and never allowed to return. Suddenly armed with an acute understanding of right and wrong, they became aware of what they did as wrong and discovered only after the fact why their actions were forbidden by God in the first place. Learning right from wrong was Adam and Eve's transgression against, something that they couldn't have been aware of before they committed that act. Yet, God punished them for their actions even though at the time they had no conception of what they did as wrong and even after they realized how they had sinned, they showed incredible remorse. It reads in the Bible that upon eating the fruit, they suddenly became aware of their nakedness and grew ashamed for what they did.
God was so furious of their sin, that he cursed the earth so that humans would have to toil to survive and women would have to suffer the agony of childbirth for all eternity for the transgressions of Eve's Original Sin. He cast them both out of paradise and sent them out into the harsh world. Neither one of knew the penalty of disobeying God, but were punished none the less. To Christians everywhere, the story of genesis is viewed as undeniable fact, yet this would require Christians to accept that it is okay to punish someone who can't understand what they are doing. Our criminal system requires that someone convicted of a crime willingly and knowingly commit a crime before justice can be served. True morality requires not only that we understand the difference between right and wrong but that we willfully commit a crime. And because Christianity as an institution believes that it is okay to punish sinners regardless of their ability to understand what they've done, this has a profound impact on our judicial system. When we testify before the court, we put our hand on the Bible. What could be more disturbing than to base the mercy of our judicial system off of a worldview dominated by a vengeful supernatural being? Maybe we can't question God, but at the very least we should be questioning ourselves.

It means I'm exhausted. I physically and mentally can't do anything anymore. The thought of moving a limb or even blinking seems impossible.
It means I'm in so much pain (mentally, physically, sometimes both) that I no longer feel like I can continue living life. I can't cover up the pain anymore or control it.
It means that no matter how hard you try or I try I just need my bed, darkness, quiet, and ice or heat.
It means that I don't want to be around anyone. I just want to be left alone. I want to distant myself from the world for a day or maybe even a week, until I can get my pain under "control" again. I don't want to check my phone, I don't want to text you or talk to you. It's nothing personal, it's truly what I need.
It feels like I have hit a wall. Like I have given into the brain fog. I'm just staring out into space not able to focus on anything. I hear noise, I see movement but none of it registers, none of it means anything. I am stuck in my own mind, in my own fog.
Saying "I'm tired" means so much more to someone in chronic pain than it does to a "normal" person. It's not just I need to go to bed early tonight, take a nap, or sleep an extra hour or two. It's a tiredness, an exhaustion, that is hard to admit, hard to explain, and hard to go through. Therefore it's easier to simply say, "I'm tired."
It's easier for you because you don't have to try and comprehend what I am going through. It's easier for me because I don't have to see the puzzled look on your face. I don't have to hear the, "I'm sorry" or all the ideas you have on how to cure my illnesses.
"I'm tired."

Malena "I pedalled as fast as I could, as if I were escaping from longing , from innocence, from her. Time has passed, and I have loved many women. And as they've held me close, and asked if I will remember them, I've said: 'Yes, I will remember you.' But the only one I've never forgotten is the one who never asked: Malena" By Tausif Sanzum
One of the better fairy tale adaptations that Hollywood has recently churned out, "Jack the Giant Slayer" is the story of Jack, played by Nicholas Hoult. since childhood Jack was fascinated with the legend of King Erik, the man who defeated the giants and sent them back to realms of the sky they came from. After a series of events, the giants return to earth angrier and stronger than ever. The best parts of this movie are Ewan McGregor, the graphics and the action sequences. The downers are that the screenplay could have been tighter, and the love angle could have been sketched out better.

Catch "Damages" on AXN, a show composed with technical brilliance, twisting plots and nonlinear narration. The story deals with the brilliant but ruthless lawyer Patty Hewes played by the five times Oscar nominee Glenn Close. While most mystery series unfold over a one hour episode, "Damages" deals with season long cases from the point of view of not only the law firms, but also the target. A brilliant Emmy winning courtroom mystery drama awaits you in "Damages."
Remember those days of youth when you might have had an innocent crush on a teacher or a beautiful neighbour? There was always something innocent about these crushes, and despite having left the years of youth and innocence behind, remembering them will probably bring a smile to your face. The Italian movie "Malena," starring Monica Bellucci and Giuseppe Sulfaro, explores the feelings of a 12-year-old boy for an older woman, who leaves an everlasting impression upon him. WWII is at its peak, and Malena's husband, Nino Scordia, is presumed to be dead after joining the military. Malena moves into a new town, which she has a deep impact on. The townsmen are smitten by her beauty, while the women despise it. The tension reaches sky high when a woman accuses Malena of having an affair with her husband and takes her to court, where Malena is acquitted but publically disrobed by the women. Amidst all these events, 12-year-old Renato develops his first crush on Malena, but soon his fantasies turn
into an obsession as he secretly stalks her. The movie deals with the theme of beauty as a curse. The presumption that her husband is dead unleashes a series of both physical and psychological attacks against Malena. The story perfectly portrays how society's gaze is always upon women. Men seduce her, while women taunt her, and she is the centre of attraction and threats. The movie's director, Giuseppe Tornatore, must be applauded for brilliantly displaying the innocence of Renato's love for Malena, depicted in the scene where Renato assumes that he is Tarzan and Malena is his Jane. He also does an excellent job illustrating the narrow-mindedness of society, such as in the scene when Malena returns to the city from which she was banished after her husband returns, and the same women who dishonoured her now acknowledge her with respect. Despite WWII raging in full swing and the city being bombed, unreciprocated
love blossoms in a 12-year-old boy, who is proof that love can blossom anywhere.

The new Samsung ATIV Book 9 can be regarded as direct competition to the Apple Mac Book Pro and HP's ultrabook By Mahmood Hossain Samsung have been doing all they can to be leaders in every category. With the ultrabook market more competitive than ever before, the ATIV Book 9 looks to make a bold statement. This premium laptop is a very attractive prospect. Its LCD panel, fan and memory have all been tailored for its 0.51 inch (13.2mm) deep body. The gorgeous, sleek, full metal body is also resistant to fingerprints and marks, a characteristic to indeed boast about. The design itself is different than any other laptop in its class, so distinguishing between the sophisticated Mineral Ash Black coloured craftsmanship and other ultrabooks won't be difficult. The ATIV Book 9 possesses a 3rd generation Intel® Core™ processor, which makes multitasking smooth as butter. The addition of Bluetooth 4.0 only increases the speed of your regular
tasks. Viewing videos, photos, and eyepopping websites on the HD (1600x900) SuperBright Plus (400nit) screen makes for a mouthwatering experience. Unlike other laptops, the display is also antireflective, so you'll have no problems in bright lit areas or out in the sunshine. It doesn't stop there, as the auto-sensor adjusts the brightness of the screen
depending on where you take it. The 1.3 Megapixel HD camera also handles quite well for those video chat sessions. Overall, it's one heck of an experience with this powerful and ultrathin piece of hardware. The Samsung ATIV Book 9 is priced at Tk127,888 in the Bangladeshi market. Also, limited stocks are available in EMI at Tk10,657 per month.
Predator instincts The 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer returns with a sleeker look, crisp styling and sharper handling Compiled by Tahsin Momin Regardless of the Lancer's age, its "shark-nose" front accent, pointed headlights and crunchy lines give it attractive attributes compared to other small sedans. Though the cabin is not as unique as the exterior, it features a pleasing and simple design, and the controls are logically arranged. Where the Lancer stands out from of her competition is in the realm of choice: the sedan offers two different motors, and the model line-up includes the legendary Lancer Evolution, which features a 291-horsepower engine and better handling than many sports cars costing three times more. You can keep your hand on the hood and feel the echoes of its rally pedigree. The entry-level Lancer sedan motor
is a 1.5-litre four-cylinder with 109 horsepower. Even though it's equipped with a five-speed manual transmission, a CVT is also available for those who choose it. Fuel economy is rated at 12km/l (city) and 14km/l (highway). The Lancer Sedan is offered in GLX, GLS, GT and Evolution trim levels. The entry-level GLX comes standard with the manual gearbox/1.5-litre motor combo in addition to power windows and locks, a six-speaker, 140watt AM/FM/CD sound system, autooff headlights, a multi-information display and 16-inch steel wheels with hubcaps. The GLS adds air-conditioning, keyless entry, as well as colour-keyed door handles, mirrors and chrome grille
surround. Unlike the GLX, the GLS can be selected with the CVT and 16-inch alloy wheels. The GT brings the all-wheel drive and the 1.5-litre engine joined with the CVT. Other additional options include a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, heated front seats and side mirrors, a roof rack, and 16-inch alloy wheels. Finally, the four-wheel-drive Evolution X features a sport-tuned suspension, Mitsubishi's Rockford Fosgate infotainment system with Bluetooth connectivity, voice command functionality, a USB port, a rear spoiler and 18-inch alloy wheels.

Tact Survival
Beating the dehydration blues With fasting and feasting in full swing this Ramadan, we often forget the most vital part of our meals: water. Once we begin huffing and puffing in the heat, we remember with regret how we gobbled down the piaju and jilapi for our last iftar, forgetting all about water in our food fervour. With summer doing its best to beat our spirits, dehydration slowly makes its presence felt in our dry throats and parched mouths. Follow Avenue T's guide to making sure you can breeze your way through Ramadan, and enjoy a healthy, comfortable diet while fulfilling your daily requirement of 10-12 glasses of water By N Anita Amreen Iftar: Often, we mistake thirst for hunger, and end up eating way more than our bodies need. Try making fresh fruit juice such as pineapple or orange juice, and sip on it throughout iftar. The moment you break your fast, try and drink two glasses of water. One 500ml water bottle consists of two glasses. This will significantly reduce your hunger pangs and help you eat less. Once you are done with iftar, carry another 500ml water bottle with you, and sip on it until dinner. Dinner: Again, begin dinner with one glass of water, if not two. To ease up on your diet, try having soup, such as lentil or chicken soup for dinner. This
will also help ward off dehydration during the day. Vegetables such as unripened papaya and cucumber will also do wonders to keep you hydrated. Try having at least another four glasses of water by midnight. Sehri: Cut down on rice and have a lighter meal for sehri, such as brown bread. To add some fun to sehri, experiment with different yoghurt dips. Not only will yoghurt keep your stomach cool, it's also a refreshing alternative to all the fried leftovers we usually have for sehri. Finish your meal with another two glasses of water.

Tips & Tricks
Say goodbye to tailoring dilemmas
By N Anita Amreen AVEN U E T TH U RS DAY, AUGUST 8 , 201 3
Photo: Big Stock
Undeniably, the most exasperating person to deal with during Ramadan is your tailor. A misplaced button, a different coloured lace or an oversized fit – during the rush hours before Ramadan, tailors end up doing it all. Sometimes they say they forgot, sometimes they blame you for never mentioning a little detail, and other times they deny taking an order at all
Here are a few effective tips to really get what you want, and get it on time: Make him take notes: Every time you place an order, don't allow your tailor to make illegible scribbles. Tell him to take elaborate, detailed notes. If necessary, write down everything for him yourself so that he cannot miss a detail. Also, ask him to show you the note when he delivers the clothes, so that you can compare the results with the notes.
Bully him: Tailors are usually swamped with work in Ramadan. As a result, it's easy for them to forget or misplace clothes. The ideal way to keep him in the loop is to bully him. In other words, call him every other day, pester him for your clothes, and keep asking him when he'll be done. Give him monetary incentives: When your tailor is done with one set of clothes, never pay him his complete dues, especially if you're placing
a second order. Always make sure you owe him a substantial amount. Promise to pay that, including the current dues, once he's done with the second batch of clothes. That way, he'll be more inclined towards completing your second order, just so he can take his previous dues from you.
Tailored Style
His Style
A smooth transition
2 Two looks should be too easy You've got your work clothes and the sophisticated getup for the evening. The work clothes should be easy to get in and out of. The less time you take to change, the more time you can take to
look your best for the special evening. 3 Timing is everything You never want to rush when getting into your classy wear. This is why the former steps are important for a delightful evening. Give yourself an estimated time of when you'll arrive home to change. Everything should be laid out on your bed and ready to go. Although these steps are so simple, men forget to take a step back and think things through. Being lethargic doesn't help either. It takes time to look flawless, and while being stylish may come naturally, the entire process is premeditated.

Summer combined with Ramadan is enough to leave anyone exhausted, and it becomes difficult to plan out a hectic day during this time. While we all have work during the day, we still have family and friends to attend to later on. Many may wonder how they can go from work to an iftar party without delay, which obviously calls for a rushed job Here are a few easy steps to help you prepare for the coming days and easily to help handle both work and iftar invitations (or any invite, really) with style.
In Fashion
Swap for moccasins Panjabis, sherwanis, achkans and what have you, are staples for a traditional and classy outing. For men, there isn't too much accessorising with these looks, so why not mix things up a little? This season is all about fusion, respecting culture and welcoming the new, so let's try to lose the opentoed shoes and opt for something a bit modern and sophisticated Loafers come in all sorts of designs nowadays, and the moccasin loafers are a stand out. For the more important and dressed up occasions, leather moccasins are a perfect fit. For occasions that are a little laid back, the suede moccasin driver shoes would be the go-to footwear with panjabi and jeans. Originally used by Native Americans, these shoes have an ethnic
Q: I'm a really built guy (some may say I'm a gym rat) and I like wearing fitted shirts. The only problem is that my nipples show when I wear T-shirts. Is there a way around this? A: A bra perhaps? Jokes aside, try wearing an undershirt. In most cases, that helps a lot. If that fails, my friend, there is really one thing you should be doing: stop wearing such tight shirts. It's one way or the other. If you like being fit, embrace it and enjoy being a spectacle, but if you get embarrassed easily, really think things through. You've decided to have this figure, so try and work your way around it. Simply stop wearing such tight clothing. It's very unflattering for any man. You want the clothes you wear to hug you, not squeeze you.
Q: Lately, I've been seeing a lot of so-called "stylish men" wearing trousers and jeans that expose the ankles. The hem cuts off or is folded right above the ankles. I think this looks ridiculous, why do they promote this trend?
Moccasins and moccasin drivers, in both leather and suede, can be found in stores like Artisti and Ecstasy. feel to them and mesh quite well with contemporary styles. Let's not forget how comfortable they can be, making it a relaxing process to slip them on and off from house to house. If you decide to wear these with a more dressed up look, make sure to avoid any loud colours. Stick to basics and choose simple colours, which are the safest and best way to sport the entire

outfit. Also, note that you should not be wearing socks with these. Please don't. What should be showing are the shoes, so whichever bottom you choose to wear, like jeans, make sure they are at or slightly above your ankles. Rolling them up won't affect the look.
A: It all comes down to individual style. Trend setters start off in such a manner that they influence even the most stylish of men. It's personal taste, and having the hem of a trouser fall right above the shoe is still perfectly fine. In fact, that's how it should be. But there isn't any harm showing a little ankle either. When you see this on GQ or other fashion sources, it's mainly to show off the socks. It's a selling point. If you can't see how the item looks with an outfit, it becomes hard to sell the product. Just because everyone else is doing it doesn't mean it's the ultimate trend, so don't consider yourself forgotten if you don't follow it.

Colour me happy!

Picking the right colour for your hair can be tricky. I always recommend colouring your hair at the salon by a professional. It is every hair stylist's nightmare when a client walks in with a botched colour job from the box. There are a few things you must know to make an informed decision on the shade you pick By Sabikun Nahar
First of all, ask yourself one simple question: "What is my skin tone?" To determine your exact skin tone, the easiest thing to do is look at the veins in your wrists under a natural light. If you see green, you have a warm undertone. Blue would mean you have a cool undertone, and something in between would mean you have a neutral undertone. Taking a close look at the colours of clothes and make-up that suit you can also help, as choosing these colours follow the same theory. f If your undertone is warm and yellowish, its best to avoid yellow, orange or gold tones. "Cooling" ash
browns, burgundies and deep reds are your best bet f Choose darker hair colours if you have olive skin. Never go more than two shades lighter than your natural colour f Bright, striking colours flatter darker skin tones f If your undertone is blue and cool, opt for auburn or caramel to bring warmth to your skin tone f Extremely pale skin can look washed out if hair colour is too dark. Pick a natural red or ginger
To get the best results from a DIY boxed colour, remember: f Always pick a colour two shades lighter or darker than your natural shade f A semi-permanent colour can only cover greys, but cannot take you lighter f Do not leave the colour on longer than mentioned to avoid patches f Apply the colour to unwashed hair. The natural oils help keep hair safe from being too damaged in the process If you make a colour mistake, please refrain from trying to "fix" it with another box of colour, and see your stylist ASAP!

Pretty fingers and tip-top toes

With the scorching heat outdoors, it's time to flaunt your summery dresses. But before you step out, give your hands and feet a bit of TLC, and make sure to use sun block on your pretty paws By Navin Ahmed
Chapped hands: Dry, chapped hands are a real problem for anyone who enjoys the outdoors or does heavy housework. Try Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream, available at Priyo Stores in Gulshan and Dhanmondi. Many perfectly polished beauties also swear that glycerine combats dry skin. A few drops of Meril Glycerine mixed with a little water can work wonders. It's best to dilute the glycerine, which is very concentrated and can feel sticky otherwise.
Smudges: Apply varnish remover to smudged polish to smoothen it out. Let it dry, and follow up with a thin coat of varnish. Long-lasting varnish: When you are looking for a superior nail enamel, look out for the type that contains ground herring scales. This strange ingredient is known in the industry as "natural pearl." It gives varnish an extra shine and causes it to stay true longer. Yellow nails: To prevent the discolouration that occurs with nail polish stains, always use a base coat of superior quality. If going without varnish, soak your nails in vinegar to get rid of the yellow tint.
Pale nails: Although pale nails can be hereditary, they are more often the result of poor circulation or anaemia. Take an iron supplement or add iron rich foods to your diet. Peeling nails: Avoid quick-dry varnishes that contain acetone, which can dry out your nails. Always file nails lightly, just enough to shape and keep the layers even. Uneven nails have a tendency to peel.
Brittle nails: Moisturise your nails with an oil or emollient. Try the oil from indside a vitamin E capsule. You can also use a nail hardener. Foot calluses: Always use a pumice stone when you shower. Razors and other cutters are not advisable, unless you go to a professional pedicurist. Corns: Corns can be extremely painful. Apply warm/hot pure ghee on the corn three to four times a day and once before bedtime. With regular use of ghee, the corn will pop without leaving a mark on the skin. Corn caps are also available at pharmacies.
Chipped varnish: Use a file to smooth out the chipped polish until the ridge is even with the nail. Apply polish only to the chipped area, and allow it to dry. Then, recoat the entire nail.

The gentleman's turn Gentlemen, you didn't think we forgot about you, did you? This Eid, let's try to do things right. As men, you'd think we wouldn't have too much to worry about when it comes to dressing up for the special occasion. Wrong. For men, a sharp look is always in the details. It may not be as complicated as a woman's wardrobe, but the little things, from head to toe, make the biggest differences. Before we dive into the different body types, there's one thing you may not know. Regardless the style of clothing , the fit is the most important step to any outfit. It is the constant in all body types. We've already covered the more stylish substitutions for a traditional panjabi in a past issue of Avenue T. The swap has been made, and now here's how to dress according to your body type. One huge advantage for the fit and healthy men out there is that suiting up in fitted clothing won't be an issue. Getting the right measurements will have the clothing hug your figure – that's how it's supposed to look. But let's be honest, most of you are sporting a gut underneath those layers of threads, and not all of us are blessed with genes that let us show off a lean and toned figure. Another truth is that Eid will result in you packing on a few extra kilograms, but the invitations and food can wait, so let's get down to business. Whether you are wearing an achkan, angrakha, or panjabi, nothing will look great if it's ill-fitted By Mahmood Hossain AVEN U E T TH U RS DAY, AUGUST 8 , 201 3
fall a little past your ankles. Again, you don't want to look taller than you already are.
The short man
1 You have to be completely honest with yourself. Admit the fact that you are short, and buy or make short-length clothing. Don't fight your height, embrace it. Make it work for you. Show confidence and comfortable stance. 2 A pant leg with a very little break will make you look taller. Whether you decide to wear pyjamas, jeans, or casual trousers, make sure the break falls right above your ankles. You don't want the pyjamas touching the floor, they have to drop far enough that your feet still show. 3 The sleeves, like a suit jacket, should reach your wrist. Don't go for anything shorter, and definitely not longer. 4 Sandals or shoes should be slender and light. Bulky and large heels are not attractive. The heavier the footwear, the more you look like you have a ball of chains hanging off your ankles. What not to do: • This should be an obvious, but don't wear anything longer than you're supposed to. If you thought it made you look tall, you're deluding yourself. • Always stay away from wide designs and detailing. Getting into something slim is your best bet. "Slim fit," remember to say that every time you try on something new.
The tall man
1 Illusions are the best part of styling. Light colours, believe it or not, add width to your narrow figure. 2 Just because you're tall, don't automatically think you need everything to be extra-large. Remember, fitting is vital! 3 Similar rules apply for taller men, your cuffs should reach a little past the wrist. When you stretch or move about, the sleeves should expose more of your wrist and the rest of the arm. Anything shorter will be unflattering. 4 The break for the pant leg should
What not to do: • Never wear anything that is wider in the shoulders. If you are tall and slender, this will make you look frail and unfit. • Footwear needs to a little more rounded. Do not wear anything pointy. They will make your feet look longer than they are. Most Bangladeshi men aren't as tall as you, so cut us some slack and stay away from heels. You're tall as it is, so you stand out. Anything more and we'll find you a sash that reads "Prom King."
The large man
1 A very cool trick for the round and large men is that you'll find some pieces, like an achkan, that have a single front breast pocket. What's that for? A pocket square. No lie, the pocket square will divert the attention away from your belly and towards your chest. 2 If there are any buttons in your outfit, always button them up! Unless you're sitting down, keeping the buttons open will only make you look wider. 3 Wear solid colours instead of loud patterns and intricate designs. This won't cut down on a sophisticated look, it'll just keep you away from being an eyesore. You can still look smart without the flash. 4 Do try on numbers that have wider cuts and designs. This can be a bit tricky. You don't want anything slimming, which will only make you look fatter. You don't want a size larger than you are either. Again, like anything else, fitting is key. Your clothes shouldn't be tight or even hug you, they should feel as if they fall on your shoulders just right. Not loose, but enough room for breathing. What not to do: • If you have a belly, never try tight fitted clothing. Never. Wearing black or vertical stripes do not slim you down in this case. The rules aren't the same as wearing a suit. • Don't wear slender and light footwear. You're a solid man, and you need solid shoes. There needs to be something that anchors all that weight. When's the last time you saw a 1.5m, 113kg man in ballet flats? Neither have we.
No matter the shape, you should know that following the right procedures and putting in the extra effort will only benefit your image. More importantly, your confidence will lay the foundation for future looks you may want to take a shot at. Grooming regularly and properly will also make a huge difference in your overall look. The best way to get the right look is to get your clothes made by the tailors. Of course, it's too late for that, but there are plenty of events to come. It's not just the clothes, it's how you wear them and project them to the rest of the world. The right attitude and the right wardrobe will make you look like a million bucks. Trust me gentlemen, you're worth it
Tell Letters to Mars
Ticking biological clock She says she doesn't want kids right now, but later. Later when? She's 35-yearsold, and time is stopping for no one. D
I'm a 37-year-old married man. My wife and I dated for eight years before getting married. One year into our marriage, I brought up having a child, but she seemed the least bit interested. I know I'm pressuring her, but I'm ageing and don't want to lose this opportunity. Her career has just kicked off, and she's dedicating all her time to work. I know and understand her career is important, and have been understanding about her work commitments for as long as I can remember, but I can't do this anymore.
Dear D, Perhaps your wife does not want children and feels satisfied with your relationship and her work. I have known a number of women who were happy with this decision. Where does that leave you? Talk to her in a quiet and loving way, and tell her about your concerns. Promise her you will take 50% of the responsibilities to look after the baby so that she is free to pursue her career as much you do. Do not forget to tell her you love her and feel very happy with her, and that a baby will be like a cherry on top of the cake. It would make you feel complete, and most importantly, you want "her" baby.

Letters to Venus
I'm a 27-year-old woman in a relationship with a man for the last three years. Before my current relationship, I've had two other relationships that didn't end well. I'm a very insecure person, and get completely attached to whomever I'm with. Even if I'm facing the worst difficulties, I can never let go of who I'm with because I'm helplessly afraid of life without that special someone. This fear of loss stops me from breaking up, even if it's the right thing to do. Is there any way I can learn to love myself enough to not be this dependent? K
Of course there is, dear K. Every individual wants to feel good about herself. To begin with, know that you are entitled to a good relationship. How do you get to feel entitled? 1) Observe your thoughts: if your thoughts are always about fear, you will encourage more fear into your mind. 2) Reassure the part of you that is not strong and independent, and replace fearful, judgmental or negative thoughts. Let's assume you are Kavita, and you should say to yourself: "Kavita, you are okay, you are safe. Life likes you and wants the best for you. If this relationship does not make you happy, it is not for you. You live in a world of abundance, and when the time is right, the right person will
come to you with ease and joy." 3) At first, it will not be easy, as you do not believe what you're telling yourself. But as Shakespeare said: "If a virtue you have it not, assume it," or as today's idiom says: "Fake it until you make it." And, as Shakespeare reminded his readers in King Lear, "practice makes perfect." 4) We are creatures of habit: we get attached to our habits even if they are no good for us. Keep repeating the sentence above throughout the day, but especially when the doubts are stronger. You will be surprised how many of us are in situations like yours. Try the steps above, and let us know how it goes – you will give others courage to do the same.
Crossing the bridge By Dina Sobhan My daughter just hit puberty. Although I have managed to discuss the changes a girl's body goes through, I haven't been able to bring myself to talk about sex. What is the right way to discuss this topic with her? TR

Dear TR, I'm not sure there is a "right" way to discuss such a sensitive topic with a teenager. It greatly depends on how close you are to her, and the level of comfort you have with the topic. I suggest reading a couple of books or searching online for ways to address the issue. Having said that, if you're comfortable and casual about the topic, and discuss the facts without any moral biases, you should be fine. Just be careful not to make her feel as though it's something bad or wrong. You want her to be well-informed and prepared when she is introduced to sex, so she can make a decision that is right for her.

Yoga to calm your nerves anywhere
By Auronee Islam
Pigeon Sit upright with both legs parallel on the floor, and cross your right ankle over your left thigh. If you want to go further, lean forward. Alternatively, you can sit on almost any chair in double pigeon, stacking your shins on top of one another with your knees and ankles stacked. Switch sides and repeat. Forward fold One of the primary benefits of the forward fold is the ability to turn your gaze and focus inward, calming your central nervous system. In a chair, fold forward over your legs and hold. Standing, you can either go into a full forward fold or grab hold of your desk and walk your legs out until your back is parallel with the floor, coming into a modified downward dog. Side twists A few twists are sure to loosen up a tight chest. In your chair, scoot up to the front and sit upright. Place your right hand on the back of your chair and left hand either on your right thigh

or armrest, and twist to the right from above your navel. Hold for a few breaths and repeat on the other side. Pranayama (breath) When your heart is racing, always return your focus to your breath. Breathe in deeply through your nose, with an even exhale out – long, steady, and slow. Use your inhale to pull in positive energy, and with your exhale push out any negativity. If alone, let your breath out with a lion's breath, opening your mouth and exhaling fast and forcefully with a "HA" sound.
Anjali mudra This mudra is where you bring both your hands to your heart's centre and sit in quiet. It helps to make you feel balanced and at ease within your body and surroundings. To modify, simply lay your hands over your heart, and channel good energy throughout your body. If you can, close your eyes and try to cultivate some silence within.

Cookie man
With a host of individualistic coffee shops catering to everyone from coffee-lovers to internet browsers to socialites, Dhaka offers foodies a multitude of restaurants, cafes, bakeries and coffee shops to choose from. What it once lacked, however, was an untapped niche, one little ripple in the current of eateries that was left untouched. Exploring that untapped niche, Razia Sultana and Rifatara Rashid decided to bring forth Cookie Man, the dream of every bon vivant with a sweet tooth and a pressing desire for indulgence By N Anita Amreen Photos: Cookie Man
Originally an Australian franchise, Cookie Man is a bakery that specialises in a wide assortment of freshly baked cookies and a variety of muffins, biscotto, brownies, etc. Be it crispy, crumbly, chewy or even lathered in chocolate sauce, they've got it all and more. Their baked goodies are divided into sections such as the "crispy crunchy cookies," "indulgence cookies," "choco dipped" and "handlines." Going hand in hand with their cookies is their savoury menu, which consists of light snacks and both hot and cold beverages. If their savoury items don't float your boat, their coffee from North End Coffee Roasters and their perfect lemonade concoction most certainly will. At a glance, the simplicity of the decor and rather straightforward, cafe-like interior will have you believe that Cookie Man is just another ordinary cafe. However, once you take a good look at their baked items, you'll notice the wide range of sweet goodies on display. Crispy crunchy cookies have an assortment of interesting combinations, such as the coconut macaroon, chocolate cashew, almond tea, and regular favourites such as chocolate chip and shortbread. Among these, the brandy snap lives up to its name of being "crispy" thanks to its crunchy texture and thin size. Despite having these meagre virtues, it is still borderline satisfactory. The only downside to their crispy, crunchy
Cookie Man (next to Burger N Boost) Plot 93, Road 6, Banani, Dhaka Ph: 01713-123500 cookies is that they aren't always available for sale in small quantities; they are usually sold in bulk. If you manage to get over that slight glitch in their sugary armour, it's a safe bet to pick from the bakery's indulgence section, consisting of caramel cashew, white choco raspberry, sticky date supreme and several more. The apricot supreme in particular is light, decadent and just sweet enough to give you that light apricot flavour. What the apricot supreme misses in terms of richness and taste, the milky choc chew makes up for. Composed of swirls of both white and milk chocolate, the milky choc's chewy texture manages to nail the basics of any regular chocolate combo cookie: simple, chocolaty and perhaps pleasant enough to go for second helpings. What really takes the cake is not any of the cookies, but the caramel fudge brownie: beautifully crafted sheets of chocolate and caramel align to create a devilishly delicious brownie that lures foodies with its inviting folds. Composed of rich, chocolaty flavours cushioned with the velvety mush of the caramel, this standout item will make your taste buds stand at attention, demanding a satisfactory sigh.
In comparison to the reigning flavour and texture of this brownie, the milk chip brownie seems rather lacklustre. But what seems lacklustre in times of heightened senses may very well seem absolutely delightful when senses aren't so blurred with intoxicating pleasure. That being said, the chocolate chip and oatmeal raisin cookies do fairly well, proving to be just what you would expect, which should not be much given previous tastings. For those of you who don't enjoy mushy textures, make sure to stop your waiter from warming up your cookies, as that is a practice they seem to be accustomed to. All in all, Cookie Man has managed to bring forward a unique experience in terms of diverse offerings and an oddly apt mix of a both savoury and sweet menu. Always open to suggestions, and constantly on the lookout for newer and better ways of doing things, the owners are shining examples of excellent customer service. With their store open before and during the festivities of Eid, don't hesitate to give your palate an excuse to indulge in Cookie Man's wide variety of sweets. Make sure, however, to go with an open mind and scanty expectations, without which a satisfactory exit cannot be guaranteed.

Transforming old saris My grandmother used to tell me stories about how, in the old days, saris were literally burned to retrieve the real silver or gold that was used in the weave. Nowadays, rest assured, such materials are no longer used, and there are other ways to make use of saris no longer wanted By M K Aaref Curtains: A sari may not have enough material for multiple windows, but for one, average sized window in a room, it can really make a difference. Cotton saris are particularly great as drapes for the summer season. Wall hangings: If the sari is a heirloom once worn by someone special,
just hang it like a backdrop to accent a blank wall. If the sari is a vintage benarasi or jamdani, it becomes an instant conversation piece. Kantha: In spite of all the bed covers available in the market, nothing beats the comfort of kantha, a quilt made from well-worn, cotton saris.
Place mats: A sari can be used as a place mat, but it has to be quilted to be durable. Colourful saris made into place mats can spruce up a table for festive occasions such as Eid.
Tablecloths and runners: Provided that the table is not too wide, an old sari can be used as a tablecloth. You can attach curtain tassels at the sari's ends for an additional kick.
Pillow cases: If you're looking for a pillow-case design that is out of the ordinary and colourful, look into your wardrobe for a piece that can be converted. The border of the sari can be used to border the matching bedspread as well. Cushion covers: The sari's borders can be used for framing the cushions.

Narail About 100km away from Dhaka and situated on the banks of the Modhumoti River, Narail is home to one of the largest mass graves of freedom fighers who helped liberate our nation. In this city full of warmth, fishing is considered the most important source of income for those involved in agriculture. A trip to Narail would mean experiencing rural Bangladesh at its best, while visiting numerous other historical and notable places along the way! By Farah K Iqbal Photo couresy Tiger Tours What to do Since a journey from Dhaka to the dock is a bit long, a stop in the Teota Palace to stretch your legs and enjoy the fresh air outside the capital is highly recommended. Constructed by the 18th century ruler Panchan Chaudhari as his own humble abode, this palace holds many stories and secrets of the ancient past and is worth a visit. Afterwards, the next stretch of drive should take you directly to the ferry crossing, where a return visit is a must to witness otter fishing: an unbelievable fishing technique performed with the aid of otters. For history lovers, the Zamindar Bari Ghaat, a house with its own private dock, is waiting to share its stories as you enter through its doors.
where to stay The Aurunima Country Resort is a countryside and golf resort. Situated near the remote village of Panipara and the confluence of the Modhumoti River, this resort is about 25 minutes away from places like the Zamindar Bari Ghaat. The hotel's suites are designed with modern amenities to cater to its guests' comfort, and numerous outdoor activities are available for entertainment in the village.
What to eat Being near the river automatically means being able to enjoy fresh fish. Bangladesh is famous for its fresh water fish, which is cooked in a variety of ways. Whether fried, cooked in a curry, or even mashed as a bhorta, this fresh fish will leave a lasting impression on whoever tastes it, regardless of ethnicity and food preferences. So, remember to visit a restaurant while in Narail and try their fresh water fish to complete your trip!

Where to stay
What to Eat
Silverview Resort Holiday (Family suite: Tk7,800 per night) While the price may not be a steal for some, it will get you a spacious room big enough for a family of four in this Lantau Island hotel. Kowloon Shangri-La Hotel (Deluxe room: Tk35,000 per night) This luxurious hotel boasts floorto-ceiling bay windows, offering breathtaking views of the city. Make sure to try the lunch buffet, which is said to be the best in Hong Kong.
Chinese barbecue It's hard to miss the beautiful sight of highly seasoned meat roasting on spits hung inside restaurants. Barbecued goose is a must-try for all those who have never experienced the joy of tucking into a tender piece of meat with the added texture of crispy skin dipped in plum sauce.
INDEX Fusion cuisine Hong Kong has some of the best fusion restaurants in the world due to its colonial heritage. You can find great East-meets-West creations at street stalls and fine dining establishments. Make sure to try the stir-fried beef noodles in "Swiss" sauce at Tai Ping Koon Restaurant.
Dim sum No trip to Hong Kong is complete without sampling a few steamed and fried bites of heaven. Most Cantonese families gather together on weekends for dim sum. Hong Kong has hundreds of restaurants with menus easy on your wallet, as well as fancy eateries where you'll be able to splurge on more exotic concoctions.

All of our massage therapists are licensed and well trained to work within various massage modalities. Your session will start with a consultation, allowing you and your therapist to discuss any concerns and goals for the session. Your therapist will step out so that you may undress to your comfort level and get comfy on the table (with a drape over you). Your massage time begins once the therapist returns and open communication is encouraged if there is anything that should be adjusted along the way (temperature, pressure, etc) to make the session more enjoyable. At the end of the massage the therapist will step out so that you may get dressed and will wait for you to meet them in the hallway with water (or tea, if preferred).
To obtain the best results from the massage, it is important to not only stay hydrated with water to help flush out the toxins but also allow yourself time to rest. Massage, even though it may be pleasurable, it is still a therapy and the body will need time afterwards to adjust. Sometimes, especially after the deeper massages, you might feel some soreness the next day or two (similar to what you'd feel after a good workout). Your therapist will have recommendations after the session that will best suit your situation (whether it be to use ice, heat, stretch, etc) which will help prevent that soreness, but will also gladly answer any questions you may have.
Everybody is a little different, but to obtain the best results it is important to consider regular sessions. Some people elect to come every week, whereas some visit every month-or-so to help ward of the various pressures of the body. Stress (whether it be physical, mental, or emotional) wreaks havoc on the body and the sooner you can catch it in its tracks the better you will feel on all levels.

Unilever said it and Tesco said it and Nestle said it: prices are going to go up. Tesco is the biggest retailer in the land, Unilever and Nestle are two of the biggest food companies on earth. These companies are packed with experts in possession of facts but we are no longer interested in experts and facts.
Today (29th July 2016), marks a truly momentous moment for egg laying hens. Asda and Lidl have finally caved, and pledged to go cage free on all their whole shell eggs. These announcements follow a burst of cage free commitments from Aldi, Iceland, Morrisons and Tesco that have also pledged to phase out cages for laying hens.
I still think of myself as a newcomer to retailing, but I've learned more about food in two years at Tesco than I've done in many years. It's been a journey which has left me mixed emotions. Too often, I've seen examples across the supply chain of good, edible food being thrown away. We have to fix this - working together, across the food industry, in partnership.

Ft. Worth - October 30, 2007 - Not only does the heated battle for the 2007 NASCAR Nextel Cup Series (NNCS) championship loom large among Team Chevy drivers Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson and Clint Bowyer, but also in the forefront this weekend is the countdown to retirement for Chevy's winningest model, the Monte Carlo SS.
When the tour rolls into Texas Motor Speedway (TMS) for the Dickies 500 on November 4, 2007 it will mark the next-to-last race for the legendary nameplate that has carried Team Chevy drivers and teams to 31 Manufacturers' Cup titles and 23 NASCAR Cup Driver's Championships since 1971.
Dale Earnhardt, Jr, No. 9 Budweiser Monte Carlo SS, relates many of his fondest NASCAR racing memories to his time behind the wheel of a Chevrolet Monte Carlo.
"It's almost impossible to pick just one memory because Chevy has been a part of my life since I was born," said Junior. "Before that, my grandpa Ralph raced 'em. My other grandpa, Robert Gee, built and worked on them. And I watched my dad win so many races in Monte Carlos and Luminas. It's just a part of the Earnhardt legacy and it always will be. I have so many changes ahead of me for next year with a new team, new sponsors, new everything: except Chevy. That's been the one constant for decades with my family and I don't see that changing.
"I have so many memories - like getting my first Corvette as a gift after I won my first Busch championship. What a special moment that was. But, if you're looking at purely Monte Carlo moments, my first Busch Series win at Texas (in 1998) will never leave me because it was the first time I'd won a big-time stock car race. That day, I started to feel like I belonged in NASCAR. And then, two years later, we came back to Texas in the Monte Carlo Cup car - and I won my first Cup race (in 2000). What a day that was too. It made my dad so happy and I knew it was a moment that again confirmed I belonged as driver at the top level of the sport. I've had so many other unbelievable moments in a Chevy - like winning the Daytona 500 or winning the All-Star race as a rookie, but those two races at Texas still resonate with me as much as any."
For Gordon and Johnson, the weekend at TMS has huge implications as the Hendrick Motorsports drivers continue to battle for the biggest prize in racing - the title of NNCS Champion. They are currently one-two in the point standings.
"Now we have a nine-point lead and the pressure is on even more," said four-time champion, Gordon. "All we can do right now is go out and put up the best numbers and performance that we possibly can on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and hope that it's enough.
"I feel like we've got the team and the equipment to do it, but those guys are tough and they are showing it every weekend. I mean all I'm really focusing on and concerned about right now is trying not to have a bad day. For a little while today, it looked like today was going to be that day. So to me, to be able to fight back and come back and finish seventh, even though Jimmie won, it still was a great day for us I feel like, and a great motivation for us going forward.
"So we're just going to keep doing that week-in and week-out. If we come out of Homestead and we've got a point's lead, then fantastic. If we don't, then we did all we can do."
Johnson, who has recorded eight victories this year so far, is hoping to repeat as the NNCS champ. "At Texas, we've been running better there every time we come back. This past spring we were really strong and had a engine problem. So even though the result doesn't reflect it, I feel really good about going to Texas. It's more about outrunning the No. 07 (Clint Bowyer) and the No. 24 (Jeff Gordon) than it is about victories.
Bowyer, who is putting additional pressure to the Hendrick teammates, is perched 111 points behind Gordon in third place. "What we have to do is keep digging," said Bowyer. "We can't give up and we won't give up. You've got to be fast the whole run and that's what we've focused on. We focused on everything that we can do to try to close that gap of our weakness. It used to be that we'd kind of be a little bit too loose and then a long run I'd be good. Gil's (Martin) really changed the bodies around and got the things where they're a little bit more comfortable for me getting going and the longevity hasn't died. Just hard work and pushing harder to make things work."
Even though neither Gordon nor Johnson has won at Texas, Bowyer's approach won't change. "It's still a mile and half track and you've got to be good. The same principles apply. I think the same car that wins at Atlanta or a Charlotte is going to be capable of winning at Texas. It's all about the way you drive it and the way you set it up. It all comes down to what you ask for on Friday because that's the day the counts - Friday and Saturday."

The Dutch Government opened a public consultation on a proposal that aims to implement the Anti Tax Avoidance Directive (ATAD1) in Dutch national law. ATAD1 aims to provide minimum harmonization to protect the tax base with a possibility to go beyond the minimum standard in the next stage.
In view of the ongoing negotiations on a new government agreement, the draft bill proposes the implementation of the minimum standard as a starting point. This explicitly leaves room for a subsequent cabinet to take positions that go beyond the minimum standard, the Ministry informed.
The Finance Ministry informed that under the Dutch presidency, a European anti tax avoidance directive ATAD1 has been established. The draft bill published for consultation aims to implement ATAD1 in national legislation. The implementation leads to changes in the Corporate Tax Act 1969 (Act 1969) and the Recovery Act 1990 (Recovery Act).
Interested parties are invited to react to 3 consultation documents and are allowed to include the whole consultation document in their reaction. The consultation will run until August 21, 2017.

What kind of spectra are those in Group A? What kind are Group B?, astronomy
you will need to reference the following Spectral Analysis document. Click the link to access the document.
Using the Spectral Analysis document as a reference, answer the following questions.
- What kind of spectra are those in Group A? What kind are Group B?
- Explain what physical phenomenon might produce spectra like Group A, and what different phenomenon would produce spectra like Group B.
- There is a third type of spectrum. Name it, and explain what causes that kind.
- Notice that the solar spectrum in Group B has a line labeled "1," a set of lines labeled "2," and a line labeled "3." Referring back to Group A, identify the element that corresponds to each of these sets of lines (a different element for each set).
- Using the sun as a reference point for the "normal" positions for spectral lines, identify whether each of the other spectra in Group B is red-shifted or blue-shifted.

Hi, there goes the answer...in case of any clarification reach out to me
Running Head: ASTRONOMY
Institutional Affiliation
What kind of spectra are those in Group A? What kind are Group B?
1. Group A consists of an Emission Line Spectrum. Emission spectra are produced by thin
gases in which the atoms do not experience many collisions (because of the low density). The
emission lines correspond to photons of discrete energies that are emitted when excited atomic
states in the gas make transitions back to lower-lying levels.
Group B consists of an Absorption line Spectrum. This is in some ways the converse of an

Smart poles for Nordic Walking with a unique, innovative sliding tip mechanism. The non-slip rubber pad provides the necessary grip on asphalt, while the integrated extendable hard metal tip provides more traction on loose or slippery surfaces.
New for 2017 is the 2.0 version of the Smart Tips. This new version has a longer metal tip to provide more grip on soft ground and a thicker rubber pad for enhanced durability
Leki Smart Traveller Carbon are a lightweight all rounder that proves itself while exercising on varied terrain and shines with its high-quality carbon lower sections, the tried and tested Super Lock System and a two-component Shark Cork grip. These choice components make the Smart Traveller Carbon one-of-a-kind and it is sure to turn heads. Well-thought-out from the very beginning, with every detail implemented perfectly, this Nordic Walking pole is suited for even the most demanding workout.
With its unparalleled pack size of 70 cm, the Leki Smart Traveller Carbon can be easily stowed in a holdall or backpack. The sections can be disassembled to enable the poles to be carried in a bag as short as 54cm.
The price is for pair of Leki Smart Traveller Carbon poles with hand straps.
Smart Traveller Carbon Weight: 424g per Pair
Leki Number: 6402606
Smart Tips were developed by LEKI as a way of combining a grippy soft rubber pad for hard surfaces with a sharp tip for when the rubber will not bite, such as on grass. These tips have become popular amongst more leisurely walkers who are more likely to do their Nordic Walking in country parks, or even city parks, where the conditions under foot are not too broken or muddy, but where differing surfaces are encountered. The hard tip can be quickly retracted for hard surfaces, all without having to find somewhere to put your dirty Paws.
By Selecting [More Options] from the shopping basket you will be shown the delivery options for your area or postcode. These will vary according to the cost of the items in the basket and their total despatch weight.
We strive to dispatch all orders made before 2pm on the same working day.
# - Working Days exclude Saturday, Sunday and Public Holidays. Orders received after 2pm on a Friday will be despatched on the next working day, usually Monday.
DPD Local is a fully tracked service with 2 hour delivery window prediction, as well as enhanced delivery options such as redirect to another nearby address or leave in a safe place (photographic evidence of the item left in-situ provided).
Royal Mail size and weight restrictions dictate that some heavier or bulky items have to be sent by a more costly courier service for certain locations. Areas affected are in the Scottish Highlands, Northern Ireland, and all other offshore areas (including the Channel Islands) and will be charged extra for delivery (weighing more then 2kg or with one dimension over 60cm). You can select your region during checkout or enter your postcode. Most UK offshore locations and the following Scottish Highlands postcodes attract a surcharge: FK17-99, G83, IV1-28/33-39/52-54/63, KW1-14,PA21-33/34-40, PH18-26/30-41/49-50
We do not ship to any Mail Forwarding Companies due to tracking implications.
We can verify the accuracy of the billing address in the payment authorization and so will always be able to deliver to an address that has passed the required security level during that process.
If delivery is requested to an address that is not the same as the Billing Address this can be entered in the checkout process. If this address is a verifiable business address there should be no delay to the processing of your order, however if the delivery address is to a residential address, possibly if the order is of a higher value, for security reasons we may have to ask for more information about the address, or even refuse the order.
The most flexible way to get deliveries to almost any address.
Paypal will verify the cardholder address during the Paypal Express payment process. That exact address becomes "verified" and is then the address that we will send the delivery to. If you have a Paypal account then you will be able to get verified status for almost any address by going through a simple process. See your Paypal account for more information on this. This feature allows us to have complete confidence in despatching your order and guarantees there will be no delays.
When shipping to British Forces Post Office you will be subject to the same policies as for our standard UK deliveries. Please select "shipping to a different address" during checkout and fill up the form in the following manner:
Delivery Address:
Full name: Service number
House Name / Number: Rank, Name
Address line 1: Unit or Regiment
Address line 2: Operation name (if applicable)
Town/City: BFPO *** (eg: BFPO 12)
County: Leave blank
Postcode: Put "None"
Country: United Kingdom
For all small parcels under 2kg we will use Royal Mail 24 or 48 service. This is not a guaranteed next day delivery service, but Royal Mail say it "aims to deliver your letter or packet the next working day, including Saturday". It should be accurate for 93% of orders they process.
Larger items will be despatched by DPD Local who aim to deliver the next working day after the day of despatch (Monday to Friday) for most UK mainland addresses.
If you require your order faster, we offer a guaranteed next day delivery at checkout at an additional charge.
We pack and send orders as quickly as we reasonably can. Orders placed before 2pm on weekdays will be sent out the same day. If we have an exceptionally high demand then orders where next day delivery has been paid for will be prioritised. Orders placed on Friday afternoon and over the weekend will leave our shop on Monday (excluding Bank Holidays). If you place an order after 2pm, but would like to know if it is possible for us to despatch it on the same day, please phone us.

Drupal 7 - Better Display Suite Layout with Alter Hooks
I admit, using
hook_ds_pre_render_alter() to alter Display Suite layouts can be
a little bit tricky to work with. A much easier way to alter them is to register
your own alter hook.
Registering the Drupal Alter Hook
The idea for this solution is to register an alter hook with
so other modules can alter the render array by entity.
This is going to loop through all the items in each region that belong to the
layout. The item is then passed to an alter hook. The alter hook will depend on
the layout's entity. For example, a layout that belongs to a
node would be
called by
hook_ds_pre_render_node_alter(), and you would use
to alter that items render array.
With each item the hook will be called with the
(which is the render array),
$context, and
$vars parameters.
$layout_render_item argument is important, as this is the render array you
should alter to manipulate the layout output. You can change the hook however to
pass in any arguments you do or don't need.
Using the Drupal Alter Hook
Here is an example of how you would use the hook. This example will check for the title of a blog post and change it.
Obviously this example may not be a very idealistic use case, but it's simple enough for you to get the idea of what it does.
