Inspired by Natural Beauty Basics, by Dorie Byers (Vital Health Publishing, 2005).
Shiny hair sparkling with radiant highlights is a real crowning beauty–but some of us could use a little help in achieving that sun-kissed look. That's where this simple rinse comes in. Even if you can't spend a lot of time outdoors this summer, Sunny Highlight Rinse will make it look as if you had.
The formula calls for only one ingredient besides water, but that one has been known for centuries to help remove dulling residue on the hair shaft, adding shine and lights to your tresses. Here is the secret:
- 1/4 cup fresh Lemon juice
- 1/4 cup water
- Strain the Lemon juice to remove any pulp, then combine the ingredients.
- After shampooing, apply to wet hair and allow to remain for 10 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly.
What is Aging?
Some scientists and physicians suggest that aging is a 'disease'. This is not a fair description. Aging is not a disease but part of the process of life itself!
You cannot reverse aging but you can help slow it down to an optimal level which nature intended. So, how long should we live for? This is a subject of much debate and disagreement.
Some scientists claim extraordinary times…200+ years. However, this is really in the realm of science fiction.
The position of Xtend-Life is that it is possible to live to the projected maximum human life span of 120 years. To achieve this, your life has to be well balanced! In other words, your lifestyle, your diet, the amount of exercise you do, the environment you live in and your nutrient intake have to be as close as possible to optimal.
To learn more about how aging occurs and ways to slow down your biological clock, visit Xtend-Life's Overview of Anti-Aging research page today.

Twitch Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Heya, this is my first build. I decided to do it on twitch because i see many people play with him and only become usefull at mid and end game. Actually twitch is a champion who can get multiple kills early game imo. So i'm gonna give a global description off how i manage to do this.
At first the runes. I've looked in some other builds and saw that people use runes for dodge, magic resist and even health. I totally disagree. If you play twitch well you don't need this defence and you can use you're runes for extra damage. In early game these runes will get you extra kills, get you feeded and makes you able to carry the game even when you aren't solo.
My runes:
Greater Mark of Desolation
Greater Seal of Clarity
(although this isnt a rune for extra damage, it does make me capable staying longer in battle before recalling to shop. I almost never recall unless i have a ****load of money.
Greater Glyph of Alacrity
Greater Mark of Desolation
As you can see my runes are only ment for more damage. Makes the killing in early game much easier.
My masteries are naturally also for max damage, only thing i'm gonna say about it is that i don't put masteries in defence unlike some other builds. again, max my damage. Twitch can get away easy, you dont need extra stuff for that. So instead i put some masteries in extra xp and gold. Makes the leveling easier.
This Itembuild is ment for early damage building up to amazing damage. I start with some health so you have some extra survivalbility at the start of the game. However in end game you can also exchange Frozen Mallet for Trinity Force. The slow that these weapons give you is very nice so you don't have to skill Debilitating Poison.
Also when you against a team with champions who have allot of health you should replace Bloodthirster for Madred's Bloodrazors. Combined with you're attackspeed they won't stand a chance. Still be carefull for tanks who wear Thornmail. It can rip you apart.
Skill Sequence
When i choose my skills i considered to use stealth at start. But since expunge has a great damage output i think it's most effective to max it as fast as possible. I noticed that many enemies underestimated Twitch at start when they see the autoattack. But after 6 stacks off deadly poison combined with expunge it's too late to run.
Summoner Spells
The summoner spells are you're own choice. I use heal for survival at early game. And flash is a nice escape or suprise attack spell. It can even be used in stealth to sneak in there base.
Still change them if you like, but i don't think you should use ignite. You're damage will be great enough already. Only smite to steal buffs from enemies. Clarity won't be needed with the runes. But you can choose to take it and get some dodge or something in you're runes if you insist on some defence.
Now then, I don't really like to explain a complete playstyle since i think everybody has his own ways. however I will explain some crucial matters.
At first the laning: always make sure you lane with a character who can solo lane aswell. I prefer to go lane instead of being mid because I can gank much easier this way.
At level 1 I play very safe. Twitch will be squishy even with the Ruby Crystal and you won't like it to go on low health at start. So, Instead play safe and make sure you farm minions quick to get level 2. On level 2 you get you're stealth and then the fun starts.
You will have to make sure you always watch the other lanes. I don't gank allot in my own lane. I will always start ganking at mid. This can be done from level 2 and help you're team a big deal. Don't be afraid to do so.
Twitch needs these early kills. Get him feeded right from the start. Make them fear you. I really enjoy it when people go buy oracle from the start since it will cost them allot of gold and bearly help them.
When a enemy has oracle just make sure you only come in range when you are going to attack. For a evelynn this oracle might be something nasty. But, since Twitch is range you can still get behind them and start the attack. By the time they see you they will already have a stack or two off you're poison. Let them think there invulnerable with there oracle.. we know better..
Mid/end game:
Now the teamfights are the most fun. Cause always there will be victims for Twitch. In a teamfight you pick out the squishy one ofcourse. But make sure you keep an eye for low health enemies who stay behind. And another thing I see to many players do is that they go solo after a teamfight. Getting some gold or experience after they had a teamfight. Those are all yours. I haven't come across an enemy who will defeat me if I gank them at that moment.
Make sure you did some kills at start and the rest off the game will be easy. Only tanks are a real threat since they can get thornmail or survive long enough to wait for reinforcement. That's when you should consider to get Madred's.
Also you could consider in a hard battle to get Vampiric Scepter a little earlier so you can farm longer and get some junglebuffs.
So guys, This was my first Guide. I hope you will make good use off it.
Please comment on this build and ofcourse rate it. I won't make a comment required to vote but if you vote -1 please let me know why.
I will read all the comments and will reply on tips and stuff.

Album Review: We Are Harlot – 5-out-of-5 stars
Mon, 09 Mar 2015 08:11:22
We Are Harlot Videos
Now, this is the moment rock fans have been craving. It's the day that a band with the instrumental virtuosity of Van Halen, bluesy swagger a la Aerosmith, and a panty-dropping, bra-throwing excess of their own formally arrives. That band is We Are Harlot—Danny Worsnop, Jeff George, Bruno Agra, and Brian Weaver. The group's self-titled debut officially lands on March 31st, [iTunes link] but it's so undeniable you need to get excited for the record and rock's subsequent rebirth now...
Every element converges into one bombastic, ballsy, and brilliant rock 'n' roll ride. Fret-burning solos abound as Jeff confidently steps into the spotlight as a new kind of guitar hero. Danny's voice spans from a gritty rasp to a towering wail on the likes of "Dancin' On Nails" and "Denial." At the same time, "Dirty Little Thing" drives forward with an airtight rhythmic stomp courtesy of Brian and Bruno punctuated by the vocalist's inimitable charisma, riding the lines between strip club anthem and stadium-size banger with its propulsive piano and fast riffing. At the same time, the boys know how to churn out a big ballad. "Someday" parallels those eighties classics with a distinct spark, while "Easier to Leave" dips from a resounding drum beat into one of the album's most heartfelt refrains. "One More Night" and "Never Turn Back" transform hyper-charged riffs into hypnotic hooks as Danny's snarl captivates and captures attention.
Everything leads up to the potent one-two punch of the heavy "Flying Too Close To The Sun" and delicate last word on "I Tried." We Are Harlot's introduction is everything listeners hope for and a whole lot more. It's rock 'n' roll shocked back to life and ready for a new legacy.
—Rick Florino
Are you excited for We Are Harlot?

Nasus Build Guide by Nightkiller

Nasus Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
After starting off the game with Ashe I decided to run through the champions and see what I liked. After going through Cho'gath and Nocturne I couldn't find one champion that would give me my desired hit damage and health that I wanted. Thus, I stumbled upon Nasus, after looking and cross checking the many builds I fine tuned this build to be extremely dangerous late game.
With the items in this order it puts added emphasis on farming q while getting tanky. Can't stress enough how important it is to farm the q. Champion kills or assist are extremely vauable as always because everything is very expensive. Depending on the champions that are being faced you can interchange the items. Playing a tanky team? Switch the Guardian Angel with Madreds Blood Razor.
If a push is really needed. Be sure to use the spirit fire to weaken up the creeps armour and then take advantage of the low health with your q while the minions are at low health. Always be sure to farm Q. This ability just allows for the need to buy items that deal damage and all a focus on defense.
With Nasus it is necessary to do 3 things: 1. Farm your q. 2. Farm your q. 3. Farm your q some more. Quite a bit of the time when the q is properly fed and knowing when to use it most champions health bars will disappear. When engaging into a team fight start off by using the W, When the enemy champion is slowed use the E which diminishes enemy champion armour and that is an excellent time to use the fed up Q. If you use your R then try to use your R inside of The E so not only is the R dealing damage the Sprite Fire is also dealing additional damage. Resulting in a very fast health drop.
This is my first guide so please don't kill me to much on the quality of it. If you have any questions just direct message me.

Lincoln's Summer Cottage Reopens in D.C.
The cottage that was Abraham Lincoln's refuge during the Civil War was reopened Monday. The rambling Victorian house stands on the grounds of the Soldier's Home in Washington, D.C., and has some of the most sweeping views of the city. Lincoln spent summers there, grieving the death of his son, Willie, reading Shakespeare and interacting with wounded soldiers and former slaves.
MICHELE NORRIS, host:
There's a new attraction in Washington this President's Day weekend. When Abraham Lincoln wanted to escape from the rigors of the presidency, he retreated to little known place three miles north of the White House. The Camp David of the Civil War was a rambling cottage on the grounds of a retirement home for soldiers. After seven-year, $15-million renovation, it reopens to the public tomorrow.
NPR's Dina Temple-Raston has the story.
DIAN TEMPLE-RASTON: Abraham Lincoln spent nearly a quarter of his presidency at the 34-room Victorian cottage. It was here, in this two-story stucco house, that the Lincolns mourned the death of their son, Willie. It was here that he mapped out the strategy for the Civil War. And it was here that Lincoln dreamed up the Emancipation Proclamation.
Frank Milligan is the director of President Lincoln's Cottage.
Mr. FARNK MILLIGAN (Director, President Lincoln's Cottage): The cottage is really the only place in the country now where you can go to understand the Lincoln presidency.
TEMPLE-RASTON: Milligan helped to oversee the restoration and actually lives on the grounds. The cottage has that freshly-painted, new house smell. Most of the rooms are empty, just as it probably were in the 1860s when the Lincolns summered here.
From the upstairs windows, Lincoln would have seen the Washington Monument under construction. The Capitol dome would have still been taking shape. And if you narrow your lids, you can imagine how President Lincoln felt in 1862.
Mr. MILLIGAN: Here he is. He's standing in this room. He's looking out these windows. He's trying to piece together his strategy to win a war and emancipate African-Americans.
TEMPLE-RASTON: Frank Milligan is taking me to one of his favorite rooms - Lincoln's bedroom on the second floor. The room is empty but for a writing desk.
Mr. MILLIGAN: He paced these floors incessantly thinking through the Emancipation Proclamation. He wanted to free the African-American slaves, he just didn't know exactly how to do it.
TEMPLE-RASTON: He came up with an early draft of that solution in this bedroom.
Walking around the cottage transports you back to another time. Had you been a guest at the Lincolns, you might have walked into the drawing room, greeted by music like this.
(Soundbite of music)
TEMPLE-RASTON: Milligan said Mrs. Lincoln loved to entertain. And the first family would invite people into the drawing room where there was an enormous fireplace.
Mr. MILLIGAN: Lincoln loved to stand, wait in front of this (unintelligible). His long, lanky legs stretched wide apart, just enjoying entertaining his guests with poetry, with jokes - he was a great joke teller - and just reading Shakespeare.
TEMPLE-RASTON: Milligan said as Lincoln commuted from the White House, he would see the ravages of the war firsthand. He would pass tents full of union soldiers, and stopped to drink with them. He visited Army hospitals along the way, as well.
Mr. MILLIGAN: We know he must have liked it here, because he kept coming back summer after summer.
TEMPLE-RASTON: Former senator Mike DeWine of Ohio was an early supporter of the restoration project.
Mr. MIKE DeWINE (Former Republican Senator from Ohio): To understand a leader, you need to understand where he or she lived, what they call home. You can understand George Washington without knowing Mount Vernon. You can't fully understand Abraham Lincoln without knowing this cottage.
TEMPLE-RASTON: President Lincoln's Cottage at the Soldiers' Home opens to the public tomorrow.

SlingPlayer Mobile – the insanely awesome, innovative, and whimsical TV app for Android is finally out of beta testing and is available in the Android Market for $29.99. You're going to need a Slingbox somewhere, of course, but the app should work on just about any Android phone. Supported Slingboxes are the Slingbox SOLO, Slingbox PRO, or Slingbox PRO-HD. Considering you can access any of your home TV channels via your Android phone, that $30 one-time fee they're asking seems pretty fair. [Market link]
I am going to download this app for sure. One question tho, will the Slingbox Solo be good enough or should I opt for the Pro HD? I kno the Pro HD will offer better quality(logic suggests anyway), but will the Solo be good enough? BTW, I am using an EVO. Thanks guys!!!!

Linebacker Ahmad Brooks is one of the best in the country and had over 50 offers to sort through this summer. Now he's got it down to just three teams.
"Virginia, Virginia Tech and Florida State," Brooks said when asked to list his finalists. "I was thinking about Tennessee and still might look at them, but I think these three are it."
Brooks has a visit to Virginia Tech set up for December 14th and will take a trip to Virginia on January 18th. He'll set a Florida State visit soon as well.
Article Continues Below
"Right now Virginia is still in the lead," he said. "My parents really like it there because it would offer the best education. They like Virginia the best, but they want the decision to be mine."
Brooks, who is 6-foot-3 and 230 pounds, has 40 tackles in four games so far this season for C.D. Hylton High School in Woodbridge, Va.

text: (The following statement was released by the rating agency) NEW YORK, May 02 (Fitch) Fitch Ratings has affirmed Symetra Life Insurance Company's (Symetra Life) Insurer Financial Strength (IFS) rating at 'A'. Fitch has also affirmed the Issuer Default Rating (IDR) of Symetra Financial Corporation (Symetra) at 'A-' and the ratings of all outstanding debt. The Rating Outlook is Stable. A complete list of rating actions follows at the end of this release. KEY RATING DRIVERS The affirmation follows the revision of the Rating Outlook for Symetra's parent, Sumitomo Life Insurance Company's (Sumitomo), to Stable from Negative as a result of the revision of the Japanese sovereign Outlook to Stable from Negative (see 'Fitch Revises Outlook on Japan to Stable; Affirms at 'A'', dated April 27, 2017 at www.fitchratings.com). Symetra's Outlook, which remains Stable, reflects that if the Japanese sovereign rating were to have been downgraded by one notch, Fitch likely would have affirmed its ratings, due to Symetra's lack of direct exposure to Japan and the issues that had constrained the country's sovereign rating. Based on Fitch's criteria, Symetra's strategic importance level is 'Very Important' within the Sumitomo enterprise, reflecting its position as its parent's U.S. platform. This, along with its standalone credit profile, which Fitch views as in line with an 'A' IFS rating, results in Symetra Life carrying the same IFS rating as Sumitomo. Sumitomo's IFS rating of 'A' remains constrained by the Japanese sovereign and is one notch below its unadjusted IFS rating of 'A+'. Symetra's ratings reflect its strong balance sheet, diversified earnings and moderate financial leverage. Additional strengths include the company's strong competitive position in the group medical stop-loss market and fixed annuities sold through banks. The standalone credit profile also considers Symetra's exposure to the protracted low interest rate environment. Fitch believes that with its liability mix, particularly its large legacy structured settlement and bank owned life insurance book, Symetra is more exposed to interest rate risk than peers. RATING SENSITIVITIES Symetra Life's IFS rating could be upgraded one notch above Sumitomo's IFS rating if its standalone credit profile improved to 'A+'. As a 'Very Important' subsidiary of Sumitomo, Symetra Life's IFS rating could also be upgraded in conjunction with an upgrade of the parent. In the event of a one notch downgrade of the parent's IFS rating to 'A-', Symetra Life could maintain its current 'A' IFS rating per Fitch's criteria. As a 'Very Important' subsidiary of Sumitomo, Symetra Life's IFS rating could be downgraded below the parent's IFS rating if its standalone assessment is downgraded by three or more notches. Symetra's holding company ratings are somewhat constrained by Sumitomo's ratings, which are capped by Japan's Long-Term Local-Currency IDR of 'A'. Therefore, a two notch upgrade of Sumitomo's IFS rating would be needed to upgrade Symetra's holding company ratings. Conversely, if Sumitomo's ratings were downgraded by more than one notch, based on its own credit quality, or deterioration in Japan's sovereign rating, Symetra's holding company ratings would also likely be lowered in conjunction with its parent. FULL LIST OF RATING ACTIONS Fitch has affirmed the following ratings with a Stable Outlook: Symetra Financial Corp. --IDR at 'A-'; --4.25% senior unsecured notes due July 15, 2024 at 'BBB+'; --8.3% junior subordinated CENts due Oct. 15, 2067 at 'BBB-'.

Dorset County Hospital Criticised By Diabetes UK
7:43am 21st August 2012
(Updated 8:15am 21st August 2012)
A row's broken out over how best to care for diabetes patients in Dorset.
Diabetes UK say the Dorset County Hospital haven't got a specialist team based there to help prevent possible foot amputations, something which can occur in patients.
The hospital's refuted the claim and says due to their outreach policy they've reduce the amount of limb loss by half over the last 3 years.
Here's our full interview with Dorset County's Director of Nursing Alison Tong:
But according to Diabetes UK, the hospital is on a National Diabetes Inpatient Audit list of hospitals that do not have a multi-disciplinary footcare team (MDTs) for patients with diabetes despite this being recommended by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence. According to Diabetes UK, having these teams in place to ensure quick referral can help reduce the amputation rate in people with diabetes, which is more than 20 times higher than in people without the condition.
NHS Dorset has a high major amputation rate for people with diabetes. There are 1.47 major amputations per 1,000 compared with the average rate in England of 0.99 per 1,000 people with diabetes per year.
One of the reasons for the high levels of preventable amputations is that diabetic foot problems can deteriorate very quickly and this is why people with diabetes who have foot or leg ulcers should be referred to an MDT within 24 hours. There is evidence that MDTs are effective at preventing diabetic amputations and they can also save the NHS money because amputations are so expensive to treat.
Diabetes UK is calling for Dorset County Hospital to establish an MDT ensuring appropriate systems are in place to respond to referrals within 24 hours and it will be writing to the chief executive of Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust to request a meeting to discuss the issue. It is also urging people write to Jean O'Callaghan to add their voice for the hospital to establish a MDT and ensure referral within 24 hours.
Graham Cooper, South West Regional Manager for Diabetes UK, said: "Everyone agrees that specialist hospital footcare teams are important for preventing amputations and can save the NHS money. This is why it is appalling that Dorset County Hospital is letting down people with diabetes by still not having these provisions in place.
"It is a tragic example of short-termism that it is failing to invest in an MDT within the hospital to deliver quality access to co-ordinated foot care within the local area despite the fact that the financial savings from doing fewer amputations is likely to outweigh the cost of setting one up.
"These teams have been shown to work and we need to make sure they are in place in Dorset County Hospital so we can stop people in Dorset unnecessarily having to go through the trauma and loss of mobility that comes from having a foot amputated.
"I will be writing to the chief executive of Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust to ask what provisions the hospital has in place and if these do not allow referral within 24 hours then demand it establishes one of these teams. We also want to let people with diabetes who live near the hospital to know about this because if they develop a foot ulcer then having one of these teams in place could literally mean the difference between them keeping a foot and losing it. I would urge them to write to Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust to make their feelings known and so add their voices to ours."
People in Dorset can email firstname.lastname@example.com to find out how they can contact the trust to ask for one to be established.

Encouraged by the penalty slapped on the biggest real estate company DLF in a Gurgaon case last August, there has been a rush of complaints at the Competition Commission of India (CCI) against several property majors since then. "At least 200 complaint letters came to us against real estate players, of them around 15 were official cases," said an official at CCI.
With big names such as Hiranandani Infrastructure & Real Estate Company (Hirco), Raheja Developers and Omaxe Group being dragged to the competition watchdog by home owners/buyers, CCI dismissed at least six such cases in the past two months on the plea that these companies did not enjoy the position of dominance in the market.
Most complaints that reached CCI cited delay in delivery and biased buyer-builder agreements for filing the cases.
Most cases on homes' delivery delay, dismissal due to lack of companies' market dominance

CCI, in its order in such case, said, "It is quite possible that injustice has been done to the informant at the hands of the opposite party. However, for any injustice done by a builder to the consumer, the remedy does not lie under Section 3 or Section 4 of the Competition Act, neither section 4 should be attracted for each and every building project, however big or small, started by an enterprise." It added the intent of Section 4 was to curb anti-competitive practices arising in the market because a dominant player was adopting such practices and tactics, which killed competition. The objective was also to prevent abuse of dominance.
Nayan Raheja, director, Raheja Developers, told Business Standard, the case against the company was baseless and the complainant wanted the return of security deposit after he was asked to sign the agreement papers. "Despite the case being dismissed by CCI, we have returned the 20 per cent security deposit and we are also modifying the buyer-builder agreement, considering the recommendations of CCI in the DLF case," said Raheja.
The CCI order said, "There are a large numbers of players in the real-estate sector and many of these are bigger operators than Raheja Developers. The question of Section 4 does not arise."
V Suresh, principal executive officer, Hirco, among the companies dragged to CCI recently, said, "We follow absolute corporate governance and there should not be any case against us."
While the competition watchdog has dismissed many of the cases, a CCI member, R Prasad, has given a dissenting order on most of them. He argued that the practices adopted by the real estate players are anti-competitive and there is abuse of dominance by them.
"Once the customers become captive, the builders start fleecing them. I have already held in the case of DLF that this conduct is called 'after market abuse'. This is a fit case of abuse of dominance by the opposite parties," said Prasad in the dissenting order.
DLF was accused of 'abuse of dominance' and tilted buyer-builder agreements for three projects — Park Place, Belaire, and recently Magnolia in Gurgaon. The case is in the Competition Appellate Tribunal (COMPAT) at the moment.
In view of so many real estate cases coming up at the CCI, National Real Estate Development Council (Naredco) is planning to come out with a draft national agreement, which will be a model buyer-builder agreement for the industry to follow. It is in dialogue with customers, consumer forums, besides following the CCI recommendations in the DLF case, to draft the agreement. One of the discrepancies that the draft agreement may look at correcting is the clause where a buyer is expected to pay up to 18 per cent interest on defaulting on the installment. However, in case of a delay in delivery by the developer, it pays only one to two per cent as penalty charge.
Although most realty players have blamed the 2008 global economic crisis for the delay in delivery of projects, a CCI official rejected the theory. "Most delays happened as these real estate players, after opening the bookings for the projects, bought land somewhere else."
He said, "Developers should open an escrow account, to ensure that the buyers' money is going in that project only."

Blue eyes – are they the ultimate in beauty or chilling and cruel? Whatever your view (or your eye colour) here are some things we bet you didn't know...
1. They're not really blue
Nobody has blue pigments in their eyes. In the same way that the sky looks like it's blue, even though it isn't actually that colour, blue eyes are just a trick of the light.
2. Every person with blue eyes is related to one ancestor
Scientists believe blue eyes started in a person who experienced a genetic mutation 6-10,000 years ago. It's one of several mutations, such as baldness or freckles, which has nothing to do with improved survival. On the plus side, it means you're related to Daniel Craig and Bradley Cooper.
3. People are wary of them
Researchers asked people to rate photos of female and male students on how trustworthy they appeared. For some reason, brown-eyed people were much more likely to be seen as trustworthy than people with blue eyes.
4. Most mammals don't have them
They're pretty rare in the animal kingdom, but they do occur, as seen in some cats and dogs. There's also a recently discovered marsupial called the blue-eyed spotted cuscus. Extremely cute, it comes from Indonesia but is critically endangered.
5. They're most common in the Balkans
In Estonia, 99 percent of the population has blue eyes, while 75 percent of Germans have blue eyes. They're also found in Southern Europe and some parts of Western Asia.
6. They're a giveaway!
The size of the pupil is easier to see in blue-eyed people. So if you look at people with different eye colours and have to decide whether each person fancies you, it'll be more obvious with the blue eyes.
7. You can turn brown eyes blue
An operation using a laser that's tuned in to a special frequency can be used to remove existing eye pigmentation from the irises of brown-eyed people in order to reveal the blue underneath. The brown tissue never regenerates, so once they're blue there's no going back!
8. Parents with blue eyes can have a brown-eyed baby
Many people think that if the child of two blue-eyed parents turns out to have brown eyes, then one parent – most likely the father – is not the biological parent. Oops! Although it isn't common, it's possible because you can be a carrier of a dominant trait such as brown eyes. And if two blue-eyed parents are carriers, then they can have a brown-eyed child.
9. Blue-eyed people are more likely to be alcoholics
Two different studies, one involving prisoners and another involving women, indicate that people with blue eyes are more likely to abuse alcohol than those with darker eyes.
10. They can be seen as evil
In many traditions, people with blue eyes are accused of casting the evil eye. In Greece and especially the islands, glass blue eye charms to ward against the evil eye are still regularly sold.
11. They're becoming more of a rarity
Part of the reason is that, in the past, blue-eyed people tended to have blue-eyed mates. Today, people choose more diverse partners and blue-eyed people are more likely to have children with brown-eyed people. Often that means mostly brown-eyed kids.

MH17 disaster echoes Korean plane shot down by Russia in 1983
THE DOWNING of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 is a grim reminder of events more than 30 years ago when Russia shot down another plane.
In an incident still shrouded in controversy and conspiracy theories, Korean Airlines flight 007, flying from Alaska to Seoul in South Korea, was shot down by a Russian fighter on September 1, 1983.
The aircraft came down at sea, killing all 269 people on board. It later transpired that the plane, which had entered Soviet airspace, had flown way off course.
The plane, felled at the height of the Cold War, had 61 Americans on board and triggered international recriminations.
The Soviets had assumed the passenger plane was a US spy aircraft while the US President Ronald Reagan called it "a massacre" and "a crime against humanity".
Initially, the Soviet Union denied responsibility. Years later the Russians conceded that the action had been tragic but necessary, given just how far off course the civilian plane had strayed.
In a further chilling incident, an Iran Air flight was shot down by a US naval cruiser with 290 people on board on July 3, 1988 as it flew over the Gulf.
Washington claimed the Airbus A300 had been misidentified as an Iranian F14 fighter jet. Everyone on board, including 66 children and 16 crew, died.
In September, 1998 Lionair flight LN 602 was also shot down near Sri Lanka, with 55 people killed in the crash. The tragedy was blamed on Tamil rebels.
A Siberia Airlines flight travelling from Tel Aviv, Israel, to Novobirsk, Russia, crashed in the Black sea in October, 2001 with 78 people on board. A Ukrainian military exercise was later linked with the smash.
